Transcript

00:02:41.000 Several states are declaring states of emergency because their food stamp money is going to run out.
00:02:47.000 I'm going to say that again.
00:02:49.000 Several states have declared a state of emergency because they're not getting money from the federal government for food stamps.
00:02:56.000 Now, they're doing this so they can start pulling funds from other areas because that's how important this is to many of them.
00:03:01.000 And I wonder how much the fear of riots plays into it.
00:03:04.000 TheRoot.com is trying to make a viral video happen.
00:03:08.000 It's not happening.
00:03:10.000 Where a woman is organizing a mass riot on a scheduled date, I kid you not.
00:03:16.000 She says, everybody on this date, go to Walmart at this time because they can't arrest all of us and run forced run.
00:03:22.000 Apparently, she's not familiar with Three Stooges syndrome, where when you try to jam all of the people through the door at one time, they can't get out and thus will be easily arrested.
00:03:32.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:03:33.000 Plus, fears of, I know everybody and their mother says it, World War III, because Donald Trump has ordered the beginning of nuclear testing, which is interesting nonetheless.
00:03:44.000 And we've got a judge saying that he's going to order Trump to unfreeze these benefits.
00:03:49.000 So we'll talk about that and a lot more.
00:03:50.000 Before we do, we've got a great sponsor.
00:03:51.000 It is Bearskin, my friends.
00:03:54.000 You guys have seen the Bearskin hoodie that I wear sometimes.
00:03:57.000 It's amazing.
00:03:58.000 It's super comfortable.
00:04:00.000 And I absolutely love it.
00:04:00.000 340 GSM Bearskin B-A-E-R skin micro fleece.
00:04:06.000 So, smart people, right now they're getting their winter gear because it's starting to get cold out.
00:04:10.000 This is hands down the best time to prep for the coming winter.
00:04:12.000 Bearskin is running a 60% off deal right now, but only if you get your hoodie early.
00:04:18.000 This hoodie is built like a tank: 340 GSM micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit that looks awesome.
00:04:24.000 Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jacket to become 100% waterproof when you need it.
00:04:29.000 So when it turns cold, wet, and windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute.
00:04:33.000 You'll get free U.S. shipping, fast delivery, and you locked in your winter gear already.
00:04:37.000 That's a win-win.
00:04:38.000 So, do yourself a favor: text the word Tim to 36912 to lock in your 60% off.
00:04:44.000 Again, that's Tim to 36912.
00:04:47.000 You'll get a link sent straight to your phone.
00:04:49.000 You can click it whenever you want to buy the hoodie.
00:04:51.000 It's fantastic.
00:04:52.000 And one more thing: when you support Bearskin, you're also supporting the Fallen Outdoors and Hope for the Warriors veterans programs.
00:04:59.000 So you're not just buying great gear, you're back in a cause that matters.
00:05:03.000 Don't wait till you're freezing.
00:05:04.000 Text Tim to 36912.

00:06:32.000 Hey, how are you?
00:06:33.000 I can't believe where you live.
00:06:33.000 I'm good.
00:06:35.000 In the middle of nowhere?
00:06:36.000 I mean, good God.
00:06:38.000 Well, I love it.
00:06:41.000 Who are you?
00:06:41.000 What do you do?
00:06:42.000 Oh, I am, I'm, I'm from California.
00:06:44.000 And I can't believe where you live.
00:06:48.000 You're going to dog on this place.
00:06:50.000 I know.
00:06:51.000 I know.
00:06:51.000 I spent quite a bit of time with your staff, and they're quite interesting.
00:06:55.000 And Josh is from California.
00:06:56.000 Yeah.
00:06:57.000 And that was the number one question: Have you ever wanted to leave?
00:07:00.000 You know, and I'm like, no, no, no.
00:07:02.000 I want to stick it out.
00:07:02.000 I want to stay.
00:07:03.000 Don't worry about me.
00:07:04.000 Worry about my enemies.
00:07:05.000 Well, so what do you do?
00:07:07.000 I build houses.
00:07:09.000 I have a farm.
00:07:10.000 I've got a farm business.
00:07:11.000 You have chickens.
00:07:12.000 That's good news.
00:07:12.000 I have chickens.
00:07:13.000 We got a lot of chickens.
00:07:14.000 Yeah, we got lots of chickens.
00:07:14.000 Pass the test.
00:07:16.000 Excellent.
00:07:16.000 We have a farm stand.
00:07:17.000 We do CSA.
00:07:18.000 Hey, we do Snap.
00:07:19.000 Oh.
00:07:20.000 Our Snap program's fine, by the way.
00:07:22.000 We have a large painting of a rooster, Mary.
00:07:24.000 I like that.
00:07:25.000 Yeah, chickens are great.
00:07:26.000 Roosters drive me crazy, by the way.
00:07:28.000 We have a bunch of them, and they just never stop.
00:07:30.000 It's true.
00:07:31.000 They're just yelling.
00:07:31.000 Worst.
00:07:32.000 The chickens are fine.
00:07:33.000 The roosters are a bit loud.
00:07:35.000 So I came out to DC.
00:07:37.000 I've been in DC this week, and I've been meeting with a bunch of lawmakers, you know, trying to help out California.
00:07:42.000 Well, it needs it.
00:07:43.000 Yeah, we met with EPA.
00:07:44.000 Oh, interesting.
00:07:45.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:46.000 EPA's interested in cleaning up the California River and the Tijuana River and the Colorado before they collide there.
00:07:52.000 So that's good.
00:07:53.000 Right on.
00:07:53.000 Well, it should be fun.
00:07:54.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:07:55.000 We're going to have a good time.
00:07:56.000 I'm really glad to be here.
00:07:57.000 Absolutely.
00:07:57.000 You got Mary hanging out.
00:07:58.000 Hi, everyone.
00:07:59.000 My name is Mary Morgan, and you can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at Timcast.
00:08:04.000 I know that you already got the Cast Brew shill, but I'm going to shill again because you should go get Mary's Ghost Blend.
00:08:09.000 And apparently, now you can get 20% off with Turkey 20.
00:08:13.000 So that's even better.
00:08:14.000 It's cheap.
00:08:16.000 My name is Seamus Coglin.
00:08:17.000 I am the creator of Freedom Tunes.
00:08:19.000 We've done over 600 animated videos.
00:08:21.000 We've got over 290 million views with $0 spent on marketing.
00:08:24.000 The way people learn about the world and form their values is through story.
00:08:29.000 And nowadays, we have the most robust technological infrastructure for delivering stories that has ever existed.
00:08:34.000 And it is owned almost exclusively by our enemies, people who want to chip away at our culture and erode our way of life through their propaganda.
00:08:43.000 That's why myself and my team do what we do to push back.
00:08:46.000 And that's why we're stepping out and expanding into creating a full half-hour long TV-length show with episodes that range from roughly 22 to 25 minutes at twistedplots.com.
00:08:56.000 You can go and support our show.
00:08:58.000 You can see our pilot episode.
00:08:59.000 It's already been created.
00:09:01.000 And you can help us win the culture war, which we cannot win without creating culture.
00:09:05.000 So go over to twistedplots.com, contribute $25.
00:09:09.000 We've got two weeks left in the campaign.
00:09:11.000 Help us to make this a reality because we will not win the culture war without creating culture.
00:09:16.000 And I've got the team, I've got the track record, and I've got the experience.
00:09:20.000 With your support, I will be unstoppable.
00:09:24.000 All right.
00:09:24.000 Let's go.
00:09:25.000 Here's the first story from Newsweek.
00:09:27.000 SNAP benefits update emergency declared as funding runs out.
00:09:31.000 Oh boy, who's doing New York?
00:09:33.000 Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency on Thursday.
00:09:36.000 After federal funding shortfalls threaten SNAP, Hochul post on the next, the Trump administration would rather starve children and families than lift a finger to help them put food on the table.
00:09:44.000 I'm declaring a state of emergency to use every tool we have to help the 3 million New Yorkers losing food assistance because of the GOP shutdown.
00:09:52.000 But wait, Maryland has declared a state of emergency.
00:09:57.000 What do they say?
00:09:58.000 Maryland, but Maryland Governor Westmore declared a state of emergency on Thursday over the upcoming loss of SNAP benefits.
00:10:05.000 Quote, Donald Trump is refusing to deploy emergency federal funds, funding that would keep food assistance programs running during the shutdown.
00:10:11.000 By doing that, I want to be clear, he is breaking the law.
00:10:14.000 And then Delaware did it.
00:10:16.000 Delaware governor declared state.
00:10:17.000 Okay, we get the point.
00:10:18.000 They're all starting to declare emergencies over SNAP because large portions of our society are dependent upon the government for their very existence.
00:10:29.000 And I do not view this as sustainable, nor do I view this as Donald Trump's fault.
00:10:33.000 I was talking with Senator Rand Paul earlier, and he was pointing out that Democrats are the ones who are blocking this.
00:10:39.000 They could vote for it at any point.
00:10:41.000 And the important distinction here, which Rand Paul brought up, this is a continuing resolution from the Biden budget.
00:10:49.000 It is exactly what Biden had already approved, and Democrats were for it then and now are acting like they can't sign it now.
00:10:58.000 So I want to ask you, you mentioned you do farm work or you have a farm.
00:11:01.000 Yeah.
00:11:02.000 So we've been talking about this, about the fact that SNAP obviously affects the price of food and grocery stores have very thin profit margins.
00:11:11.000 And so it's difficult to work out exactly how this is going to affect the economy and food markets overall.
00:11:16.000 I'm curious if you have any particular insight into that as someone who is a farmer and has experience with agriculture.
00:11:22.000 Well, SNAP is an evolution.
00:11:25.000 Food stamps weren't SNAP.
00:11:26.000 They weren't called SNAP.
00:11:27.000 They're now called SNAP.
00:11:28.000 Originally, it was a supplement.
00:11:31.000 I think it actually, I think supplement might be the first time.
00:11:34.000 Supplemental nutrition.
00:11:35.000 That's right.
00:11:35.000 There you go.
00:11:36.000 It was vegetables, fruit, nuts.
00:11:38.000 It was things that were natural and organic.
00:11:40.000 And so they would send it to grocery stores, and then you could turn in your SNAP coupons at grocery stores.
00:11:44.000 Now it's part of EBT, which is the electronic benefit, which is how they just deposit money into your account.
00:11:50.000 And so SNAP has to go from a farm to be packed and washed and sent to a grocery store.
00:11:56.000 And by the time it gets there, it's really not so focused on just really good nutrient, nutrition, high-nutrient food.
00:12:02.000 Yeah, you can use EBT cards to purchase candy bars.
00:12:05.000 Exactly.
00:12:05.000 People are buying Coca-Cola food and then selling it in plates on Facebook Marketplace to other people in the hood on an upcharge.
00:12:16.000 So they're literally making a profit off of their SNAP benefits.
00:12:20.000 Do you know about this?
00:12:21.000 I mean, there's been a long history of that.
00:12:23.000 There's been a long history of, you know, kind of brutalizing the food stamp business.
00:12:28.000 And people have been selling their food stamps for decades.
00:12:31.000 The sad part is, is that, you know, really, the SNAP program needs to be standalone.
00:12:35.000 That's what kind of, I think Bobby Kennedy was working on through HHS was to have SNAP be sort of a program where it really was fruit, vegetables, nuts, things that are potatoes, and then it would go to fulfillment centers and then it would be, you know, last mile deliberate.
00:12:48.000 You could still buy it on coupons, but you'd actually get good food.
00:12:51.000 You wouldn't be able to go there and sell them and convert.
00:12:54.000 And I know that that's not what this is about.
00:12:56.000 This is simply about the fact that the government shut down.
00:12:58.000 But at the end of the day, my farm stand, we are doing SNAP.
00:13:01.000 And most of the people that I know in California that have independent farm stands and independent grocery, they're doing SNAP.
00:13:07.000 So I'm curious, do you know when this changed and why?
00:13:10.000 When they decided to move away from giving people genuinely nutritious foods and started to allow them to basically purchase anything at a grocery store?
00:13:16.000 I am not sure when it happened, but it would be, I would say in the last 15 years, this whole thing has become so corrupt.
00:13:22.000 You know, the amount of money that they're fighting over is $187 billion.
00:13:26.000 Do you just think about that?
00:13:28.000 Are there any restrictions on what you can buy with SNAP?
00:13:30.000 Sure, there are.
00:13:32.000 Hot stuff.
00:13:33.000 The grocery store is not going to be cooked.
00:13:36.000 Imagine if you get groceries and they go bad.
00:13:39.000 You're not going to, you're going to give the stamps back.
00:13:41.000 You know, you just give somebody something else.
00:13:43.000 It's all about farm to table has to be, you know, two-hand touch.
00:13:46.000 It can't sit for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:13:48.000 It's very difficult to deliver fresh food on this kind of a program.
00:13:52.000 It is, I think, probably the large corporations lobbying to change the system to allow people to buy whatever they want.
00:14:01.000 Because soft drinks are two of the top 10, two of the top 10 items purchased with food stamps.
00:14:10.000 And it's so much profit.
00:14:12.000 Right.
00:14:12.000 And they're saying Walmart's going to lose billions of dollars.
00:14:15.000 So these big corporations have been subsidizing themselves off of taxpayer dollars.
00:14:20.000 It's laughably insane.
00:14:21.000 And it's not just that.
00:14:23.000 There's this old documentary from like 15, 20 years ago talking about how Walmart, and maybe this is wrong or whatever, but I saw this in some documentary.
00:14:32.000 Walmart would tell staff, if you can't afford to work here because you don't make enough money, apply for welfare on top of your pay to supplement to offset.
00:14:43.000 So the argument for a long time has been that Walmart subsidizes themselves through making their workers take benefits and then having people use benefits to buy from Walmart.
00:14:50.000 Well, and it's funny because left-wing people will try to use that as an argument for why we shouldn't cut EBT.
00:14:56.000 Like you think that's a good argument?
00:14:58.000 Like I'm supposed to want to prop Walmart up with tax dollars?
00:15:02.000 I mean, I don't think the majority of the right is even advocating for SNAP to be abolished.
00:15:06.000 No.
00:15:07.000 It's just saying that we need to root out the corruption.
00:15:09.000 A lot of the people who actually need it and would be more deserving of it, hardworking people who are married, don't qualify because they make responsible decisions.
00:15:19.000 And so many people who don't need it are getting it.
00:15:22.000 I like that.
00:15:23.000 In order to receive the benefits, you have to be married for at least a certain amount of time and you can't get a divorce.
00:15:28.000 That's a huge reason why people are applying for it and getting denied is because they're married.
00:15:32.000 I think people that are single eat it more.
00:15:34.000 A lot of people talking about this on Twitter saying like, I'm married.
00:15:37.000 My husband makes, you know, whatever, less than 40K, less than 30K a year.
00:15:42.000 And they've applied for SNAP before and got denied.
00:15:45.000 And they wonder why.
00:15:46.000 And people say, it's because you're married.
00:15:48.000 You're more likely to get it.
00:15:50.000 You're more likely to get approved for all sorts of benefits if you're unmarried.
00:15:53.000 And that's incentivizing your responsibility.
00:15:55.000 Yeah, and I understand what you're saying, by the way, that there are single mothers, for example, who might need this, but part of the difficulty is the program ends up creating an incentive that pushes fathers out of the homes.
00:16:06.000 And so you go, how is there a way to structure this where we ensure that people who really do need it are getting it, but where it's not creating these broken homes?
00:16:14.000 Because there are also instances, this is going to not to shock and scandalize anyone in this audience, right?
00:16:20.000 I'm sure you guys have never heard of this, but there are people who will live together outside of marriage and they could get married.
00:16:26.000 But one of the reasons they don't is because if they do, the woman will not be able to continue to collect the welfare that she's getting.
00:16:33.000 People are lying about the members of their household in order to get accepted for these applications.
00:16:38.000 And you know what?
00:16:38.000 Yep.
00:16:39.000 The only reason why there should be a state of emergency declared in any of these states is because people are openly threatening to riot and loot stores on TikTok with their whole face showing their whole government name on their profile.
00:16:50.000 Well, yep.
00:16:52.000 The thing is, you guys know the story of perverse incentive, where it was like the British colonials in India said, we got a snake problem.
00:17:01.000 So we're going to pay you a dollar for every snake head you bring us.
00:17:04.000 And they went, okay.
00:17:05.000 They went home and started breeding snakes.
00:17:07.000 So they thought they were going to get rid of them and they just made the problem worse.
00:17:10.000 And that's exactly what we get with this program, although it's not funny.
00:17:14.000 It's very, no, I agree with you.
00:17:14.000 Yeah.
00:17:15.000 It's very sad.
00:17:16.000 Part of the interesting thing about that particular story is you got to remember this is this was the British in India.
00:17:23.000 So there's not going to be the same level of solidarity built up between the government and the people there.
00:17:27.000 And the same thing actually happens with the federal government.
00:17:30.000 When this stuff is handled by local communities, people who know each other are feeding their neighbors, it's a completely different story.
00:17:36.000 You're more discerning about who gets the food.
00:17:38.000 People who have a reputation for being liars or being hustlers or being scammers or grifters are going to be weeded out just by virtue of what their reputation is.
00:17:47.000 But because we federalized all of this, it makes it nearly impossible to figure out who the liars are, who the phonies are.
00:17:53.000 One of the big parts of EBT was during the mass immigration into the United States, the EBT tax coupon things that they gave them were in the thousands.
00:18:03.000 So people had money in a bank account to go to grocery stores.
00:18:07.000 I've read several articles on the amount of EBT that was handed out to people coming over the border.
00:18:12.000 I mean, and that's what the big argument is with the Trump administration: basically, that we can't afford illegal alien SNAP programs.
00:18:19.000 We can't afford medical for illegal aliens.
00:18:23.000 That's really what the big argument is.
00:18:24.000 That's what they're really fighting about.
00:18:25.000 The real issue for me is that you can't get fresh food across the country.
00:18:30.000 And so it becomes corrupt just because it's cost too much.
00:18:32.000 It's never going to be fresh.
00:18:34.000 So we might as well sell cigarettes and beer and we'll just use the snap coupons for that.
00:18:38.000 That's kind of really what's going on.
00:18:40.000 And $187 billion of that is crazy.
00:18:42.000 Yeah.
00:18:43.000 No, I completely agree with you.
00:18:44.000 It's also, it's interesting because what the left has been doing is they've been going, oh, well, actually, illegal aliens are not getting these benefits.
00:18:51.000 It's like, okay, non-citizens absolutely are, though.
00:18:54.000 And what happens is because the Biden administration and basically every left-wing administration or political authority for the past several decades has given people temporary protected status whenever they can, thus making them non-illegal, even though they're not citizens.
00:19:08.000 It extends welfare benefits to those people.
00:19:12.000 They call them, I think, lawful entrants.
00:19:14.000 Exactly.
00:19:15.000 So they enter the country illegally.
00:19:17.000 And then when law enforcement, CBP, or I say, you stop right there, they go, asylum.
00:19:22.000 And then they're like, oh, they got us.
00:19:23.000 Yeah.
00:19:24.000 I guess we can't deport them now.
00:19:25.000 They're lawful entrants.
00:19:26.000 And I said all this EBT I need to spend.
00:19:28.000 Exactly.
00:19:29.000 They said the magic word.
00:19:30.000 Even though there's a eight USC 1325, which states entering the country from anywhere other than an official port of entry is illegal, illegal.
00:19:41.000 So the reality is, we've said it, these people, these Democrats, live in an entirely different country.
00:19:47.000 The laws of our Congress and Constitution, it doesn't matter to them.
00:19:52.000 They are somewhere else.
00:19:53.000 Yeah, that's it.
00:19:54.000 In LA, we don't have to worry because they haven't funded Prop 36.
00:19:58.000 So, if you don't have any food, you can just go into the grocery store and take it.
00:20:01.000 So, it's fine.
00:20:02.000 Well, that's what $900 worth of theft or something.
00:20:05.000 That's so crazy.
00:20:05.000 Yeah.
00:20:06.000 70%, 71% or something like that voted for this law to be passed, and now they won't fund it.
00:20:11.000 Yeah.
00:20:12.000 What's the law?
00:20:13.000 Prop 36.
00:20:14.000 So right now, because of COVID, they were like, you know, people can steal and we're not going to prosecute.
00:20:18.000 And it was up to $900.
00:20:20.000 Literally, a guy went into a thrifty and took $2,000 worth of stuff because it was 50% off.
00:20:25.000 Okay.
00:20:26.000 That's so funny.
00:20:28.000 It's awful, but it's funny.
00:20:29.000 Well, so the joke that we made was you should sell everything for $1,000, everything, and then offer up discounts at the register.
00:20:39.000 And someone actually did it.
00:20:41.000 That would be, that's a great idea.
00:20:42.000 It didn't work.
00:20:43.000 You should have made that work.
00:20:44.000 No, no, no, no, great idea.
00:20:46.000 They tried doing it.
00:20:46.000 I can't remember where, but the police were just like, no.
00:20:49.000 You just change it from the dollar store to the $1,000 store.
00:20:52.000 The issue is, it doesn't matter if this law exists to make $900.
00:20:52.000 Yeah.
00:20:57.000 What matters is if somebody steals even a couple hundred dollars, they shoplift.
00:21:03.000 If you work for a CBS and someone comes in and takes $100 worth of stuff and you call the police, they're going to be like, what would you have us do?
00:21:08.000 It's going to take us 15, 20 minutes to get there.
00:21:11.000 The person's going to be long gone.
00:21:12.000 We take a report.
00:21:13.000 No one will ever catch the person.
00:21:15.000 So they just don't care.
00:21:15.000 They don't show up.
00:21:16.000 We did.
00:21:16.000 So back when this first became law, that you could steal less than $900 worth of stuff in California, we did a cartoon where it was Gavin Newsome and he's like one of those crazy TV salesmen.
00:21:27.000 And he's like, this bike, previously $850, now free.
00:21:30.000 And he's like rattling off all the stuff.
00:21:32.000 This laptop used to cost $700, now free.
00:21:34.000 Well, let's pull up this story from the root.com.
00:21:38.000 I don't know how you describe the route.
00:21:41.000 It is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude.
00:21:44.000 Well, that's how you describe it.
00:21:46.000 That's how you describe it.
00:21:46.000 That's how you describe the route.
00:21:49.000 If the snap benefits cutoff results in violence, it wouldn't be the first time.
00:21:52.000 It's funny because I believe they changed the headline, which used to read, the TikTok planned to stage a massive theft event at Walmart.
00:22:00.000 And they said it was going viral.
00:22:03.000 The problem is it's not going viral.
00:22:05.000 They're just hoping that it happens.
00:22:07.000 So they've got this post from TikTok, which I'll pull up and we'll play for you.
00:22:12.000 You guys ready?
00:22:13.000 Here you go.
00:22:13.000 Listen to this.
00:22:14.000 Oh, people, my people.
00:22:17.000 I wish we stopped crying about this motherfucking EBC card.
00:22:21.000 At the end of the day, they try to see if we're going to stick together.
00:22:24.000 And we are going to stick together.
00:22:26.000 Fucking November 3rd at 6:30.
00:22:29.000 We're going to Walmart.
00:22:31.000 We're going to fucking Walmart.
00:22:33.000 And at 7:30, we're going to walk out of Walmart with our fucking buddies.
00:22:37.000 Okay.
00:22:38.000 The thing is, they can catch everybody.
00:22:40.000 You feel me?
00:22:41.000 All you got to do is run for his run.
00:22:44.000 Okay.
00:22:45.000 We have to stick the fuck together.
00:22:47.000 It don't even matter.
00:22:48.000 As long as we're going to have everything we need for Thanksgiving, that's all that fucking matters, bitch.
00:22:53.000 Run for his run.
00:22:55.000 Remember, put it in your calendar.
00:22:57.000 November 3rd.
00:22:58.000 She should be arrested.
00:23:00.000 Remember that?
00:23:00.000 Right now, criminally charged.
00:23:03.000 Incitement to riot.
00:23:05.000 Whatever else they can get her on.
00:23:06.000 But the funny thing is, the TikTok is not viral at all.
00:23:10.000 It's got 500 likes.
00:23:12.000 And the initial post from The Root claimed that it was going viral.
00:23:15.000 I think the intention of the writers of the root, because I think the root was part of like the Gizmodo Network at some point.
00:23:20.000 Oh, yeah, The Onion.
00:23:21.000 Oh, I'm sorry, that's opinion.
00:23:22.000 I thought I'm pretty sure it was a part of The Onion.
00:23:25.000 It's like the same format, whatever.
00:23:27.000 They wanted this to go viral.
00:23:29.000 So hold on to the other side.
00:23:30.000 There is now an entire like libs of TikTok styled account called EBT of TikTok, where there are thousands of people threatening to riot, threatening to loot stores and inciting groups of people to do so.
00:23:45.000 So it is a viral trend, even if that specific video isn't viral.
00:23:49.000 I'm just going to be this is not seen them.
00:23:50.000 This is not me blackpilling because there is no blackpilling and there's no blackpilling allowed.
00:23:54.000 But when you are at this point as a nation where citizens are willing to just openly say in front of everyone in the public that they intend on stealing things, like it's over.
00:24:06.000 All right.
00:24:07.000 This is not a healthy thing.
00:24:08.000 They're just saying, like, we're going to loot from the paid-for groceries that white people are walking out with.
00:24:14.000 Well, oh, yeah, we will just steal it from people, too.
00:24:17.000 That's reparations.
00:24:18.000 And I just want to say, too, like, when I say that means your society is over, it 100% does.
00:24:25.000 Christ has brought people back from the dead, right?
00:24:27.000 Like, God can bring our society back, is what I'm trying to say.
00:24:29.000 But by natural human means, like, we're done.
00:24:31.000 We're completely, we're cooked.
00:24:33.000 I just want to fact check.
00:24:34.000 I was correct.
00:24:34.000 It was part of the Onion.
00:24:36.000 So GO Media.
00:24:38.000 I believe this was after Gawker, you know, and all those websites that got purchased.
00:24:44.000 And it was Gizmodo, Jezebel Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, The Root, Kotaku, Kotaku, and Jalopnik, and the Onion portfolio, the Onion Click OV Club and takeout.
00:24:54.000 And then I guess what happened was that whole thing collapsed.
00:24:58.000 And now, as of 2025, it's just the root, which once again is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude.
00:25:05.000 A whole lot.
00:25:06.000 Apparently, also calling for everyone to mass loot Walmart.
00:25:11.000 But I want to stress this.
00:25:12.000 As someone who has been to a Walmart, as I'm sure some of you may have at some point, the doors there are not particularly wide, and there's usually two.
00:25:21.000 There are two ways in on the left and the right of the building.
00:25:25.000 And if this woman's plan were to actually be implemented, these people would fall victim to Three Stooges syndrome, which is when everyone tries jamming through the door at the same time, they get stuck and will all be easily arrested.
00:25:39.000 So that's not going to work.
00:25:41.000 But she's not the only person who's been calling for this stuff.
00:25:44.000 The calls for mass rioting and looting, it's nuts.
00:25:49.000 Go arrest them all.
00:25:50.000 Just to do it.
00:25:51.000 Yeah, don't say that there are no political solutions to this.
00:25:54.000 There are certainly political solutions.
00:25:57.000 I think there are political solutions.
00:26:00.000 There are political solutions that could salvage certain parts of this country for a certain period of time.
00:26:06.000 It's just that, listen, I'm going to quote Fulton Sheen again.
00:26:09.000 Communism is not the thing that destroys the society.
00:26:11.000 It's the rot that sets in when it's already dead.
00:26:14.000 Like, I don't think we live in a time where we are desensitized to this, but if our ancestors saw that people were talking this way, if they saw the current state of affairs, they'd be like, oh, yeah, you don't have society.
00:26:25.000 You're like living not to be.
00:26:28.000 That whole slavery thing.
00:26:30.000 I don't know if this was from one of your videos or where I heard this, but what was I watching?
00:26:35.000 It said a bunch of, it might have been a Simpsons bit.
00:26:39.000 There are a bunch of people in hell who did things a lot worse.
00:26:43.000 I'm sorry.
00:26:44.000 There's a bunch of people in heaven today that did way worse things than the people who are condemned to hell for today.
00:26:44.000 I'm sorry.
00:26:51.000 Did I say that right?
00:26:51.000 Right?
00:26:52.000 Basically, the point is this.
00:26:52.000 I'm not sure.
00:26:54.000 If you go back 300 years, people went to heaven and were engaged in brutal warfare, abject racism, slavery.
00:27:03.000 And today, we are way, way, way, way, way more, I don't know what the right words, a combination of demure, weak, and also magnanimous.
00:27:15.000 The idea was like you have the conquistadors all just, they knew they were going to heaven.
00:27:20.000 And today, you've got people who are condemned to hell for a fraction, a fraction of just thinking the things that conquistores may have done.
00:27:28.000 Well, certainly for texting them.
00:27:32.000 I think they should change the name of that thing to the loot.
00:27:37.000 The worst thing about that video was not her calls for mass violence.
00:27:41.000 It was the ASMR whispering.
00:27:43.000 I think ASMR should be illegal.
00:27:45.000 You know, I don't understand.
00:27:47.000 ASMR, we plan to rob Walmart when EBT goes out.
00:27:51.000 If, you know, like, I will, I will, uh, these ASMR videos, you go to fucking Walmart.
00:27:59.000 I will, I will, I will punch a hole in the monitor.
00:28:04.000 I will punch my phone so hard it will explode into fragments as soon as an Instagram ASMR video pops up.
00:28:11.000 ASMR looting.
00:28:14.000 I don't know what it is about people that they really want that low, whispery voice and scratching where it relaxes them.
00:28:20.000 It brings me to the pinnacle of rage.
00:28:23.000 That's one of the reasons.
00:28:24.000 I'm going to actually rename shoplifting as like quiet shopping.
00:28:29.000 No, no, what was it?
00:28:30.000 No, undocumented shopping.
00:28:31.000 Yeah.
00:28:32.000 Undocumented shopping.
00:28:33.000 It's not illegal.
00:28:35.000 It's just not documented.
00:28:37.000 It's just purchases they haven't made yet.
00:28:39.000 Listen, I think undocumented iPhone owners should have the same path to legal ownership that people who went through the process to get their iPhone have.
00:28:46.000 We vote for a Democrat president so they can introduce the deferred action for shopping.
00:28:52.000 What's the acronym?
00:28:53.000 Deferred action for undocumented purchases.
00:28:57.000 So he doesn't have a receipt.
00:28:59.000 Like we're not human.
00:29:01.000 I'm calling it now like after Halloween, we're going to see the craziest rage bait trick-or-treat looting videos.
00:29:08.000 Black Friday.
00:29:11.000 It's all happening on the same day.
00:29:12.000 We're going to see so many people.
00:29:14.000 Stealing from the courthouse where they put the bowl of candy out for them to take one.
00:29:19.000 They're just taking the whole bowl.
00:29:20.000 It's going to be crazy.
00:29:21.000 Okay.
00:29:22.000 I see a lot of these body cam videos on YouTube and Instagram.
00:29:25.000 They pop up from time to time.
00:29:26.000 And I'm sure you guys have seen this.
00:29:28.000 Have you guys seen the videos where it's like someone tries filling up a shopping cart and walking out with it?
00:29:32.000 Okay.
00:29:32.000 Yeah.
00:29:33.000 Well, I routinely see these videos.
00:29:35.000 And it's always like, oh, man, that's crazy.
00:29:39.000 I can't believe they would do that.
00:29:40.000 And the Walmart employee doesn't know what to do.
00:29:42.000 And then the person just walks off.
00:29:44.000 Okay, well, I saw one today where the lady was walking the shopping cart out and some other like a store employee got in front of her and said, you can't take this.
00:29:53.000 And it was a black woman.
00:29:54.000 She pulls what appears to be a Glock.
00:29:57.000 I saw that same thing.
00:29:57.000 I saw that once.
00:29:58.000 And she was trying to rope her children into the criminal act.
00:30:02.000 That's crazy.
00:30:03.000 She was telling her children, no, run out, run out to the car, take the other cart.
00:30:07.000 I'm like, dude, we are cooked.
00:30:10.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:30:11.000 He's like, there is no society.
00:30:13.000 That's right.
00:30:14.000 And it's just like the mindset is like, mind your business.
00:30:17.000 And that's a ton of the videos that they're just saying.
00:30:19.000 Like, if you're an employee or a fellow shopper and you see someone walking out with a whole cart of stolen items, mind your business.
00:30:26.000 Well, because think about the repercussions.
00:30:30.000 We get told this all the time, and I've never agreed with this, much to my own detriment, I would imagine.
00:30:34.000 But when I was, you know, I'm growing up in Chicago.
00:30:37.000 It's a dangerous place.
00:30:39.000 And you are told, if someone robs you, give everything up.
00:30:43.000 And my response was no.
00:30:44.000 Like, well, they'll kill you.
00:30:45.000 And I'm like, guess I'll die.
00:30:47.000 I just, I can't believe you people choose to live this way.
00:30:50.000 Because what ends up happening is you have explicitly just told every criminal in this city that the people will give you whatever you want.
00:30:59.000 You know, I'm going to bet on.
00:31:00.000 I'm going to bet on they don't want to go to prison for the rest of their life.
00:31:04.000 Not true for everybody.
00:31:05.000 And they'd rather not get in a fight.
00:31:06.000 So if someone comes up to me, I'm going to say no.
00:31:09.000 And I only had one instance where it happened and the guy threatened me, but I got lucky because the cops were there.
00:31:14.000 So I've never actually encountered, well, to be fair, to my own defense, I did tell a guy trying to mug me, no, but I got saved by the cops.
00:31:22.000 So who knows?
00:31:23.000 Maybe he would have shot me.
00:31:24.000 I just don't agree that we should live in a society where we all agree, if someone wants to take from you, let them do it.
00:31:29.000 It's actually a life hack.
00:31:30.000 You can say no, that's illegal.
00:31:33.000 Some of these like career criminals, congenital criminals, they don't think 15 seconds into the future.
00:31:39.000 So they do not have a fear of going to jail or getting caught or getting hurt in a fight.
00:31:43.000 They don't have that fear.
00:31:45.000 It's a coin toss.
00:31:48.000 So there was this study they did where they took people who were convicted of multiple violent crimes against people and they made them watch videos of people walking down the street.
00:32:00.000 Then they were asked who out of these people, if they were going to rob somebody, who would they rob?
00:32:05.000 And sure enough, the people they chose had been robbed before.
00:32:08.000 The people they did not were not robbed before.
00:32:10.000 And the researchers believe it was the way they carried themselves.
00:32:13.000 Either the person was distracted or the person carried themselves with confidence.
00:32:18.000 The people who are going to rob you, not always, but they're looking for an easy get.
00:32:23.000 None of these guys who are robbing you want.
00:32:26.000 I saw there's another viral video you may have seen where there's a handful of these, man.
00:32:30.000 I watched one today where they're robbing a convenience store and it's like some fat dude and he's sitting behind the counter with his hands up and they go through the register.
00:32:30.000 It's crazy.
00:32:37.000 And when the other guy walks to his buddy, he grabs a gun and just drops him instantly and they run off.
00:32:42.000 There's another video from Vegas that went super viral.
00:32:44.000 We covered at the time.
00:32:45.000 Wait, who dropped who?
00:32:47.000 The store, the shopkeeper pulled out a gun and dropped it.
00:32:49.000 Dropped him right there.
00:32:50.000 There was a viral video out of Vegas where two guys walk into a head shop with like a vape shop or something wearing masks.
00:32:57.000 And one guy tries going around the counter.
00:32:59.000 And when the clerk runs to him, the other guy jumps over.
00:33:01.000 So the clerk's got a knife in his hand and just boom, boom, boom, over and over again.
00:33:05.000 And you hear the robber going, stop, stop.
00:33:08.000 Oh, I'm dead.
00:33:09.000 And then just collapses.
00:33:10.000 He didn't die, though.
00:33:11.000 But the shopkeeper never got in any trouble.
00:33:13.000 They were like, you got masked guys robbing you.
00:33:15.000 Oh, in L.A., you'd go straight to jail.
00:33:17.000 If you stabbed him.
00:33:18.000 Yeah.
00:33:18.000 Oh, in New York, too.
00:33:19.000 No, first of all, you said something really interesting.
00:33:21.000 This was Vegas.
00:33:22.000 You said that you were getting mugged or whatever and the police came.
00:33:25.000 See, in LA, that doesn't happen.
00:33:26.000 Oh, I got lucky.
00:33:27.000 Yeah.
00:33:27.000 Well, in LA, the deal is that they want you to drive your car and leave the windows open and park it with nothing in it so that no one breaks the glass.
00:33:35.000 You guys remember?
00:33:37.000 Benny Johnson went to California, and while he was filming, someone tried breaking into his SUV to steal his stuff.
00:33:46.000 It's comedy.
00:33:47.000 It's insane.
00:33:47.000 It's insane.
00:33:48.000 They're like, don't wear your jewelry out when you're going on a walk.
00:33:51.000 I'm like, and if you call 911, you're like, hello, 911.
00:33:55.000 They're like, what's your emergency?
00:33:56.000 I'm like, you guys are, where are you?
00:33:58.000 We've been calling.
00:33:59.000 That's exactly.
00:34:00.000 That's exactly.
00:34:01.000 That's the same as not having a society, right?
00:34:03.000 No one's going to protect you.
00:34:04.000 You literally have to fend for yourself.
00:34:06.000 But it's worse than that.
00:34:07.000 Because you live in California.
00:34:08.000 It's anarcho-tyranny.
00:34:09.000 You will get in trouble if you do fight.
00:34:10.000 You got 8,500 police officers for 4 million people.
00:34:13.000 So here's what you got to do.
00:34:14.000 Here's what you got to do.
00:34:14.000 I mean, if you're in California and you're walking down the streets of like LA or whatever, and some guy comes and robs you, you need to call the police and describe yourself as the robber.
00:34:30.000 And then the police will come and they'll be like, that's the burglar.
00:34:33.000 How can we help?
00:34:35.000 That's the point.
00:34:35.000 Where are the socioeconomic factors that made you do this?
00:34:38.000 And people believe that stealing is a victimless crime.
00:34:41.000 This is the point that we reach.
00:34:42.000 And, you know, we learn it from childhood.
00:34:45.000 I've been reading about the history of anti-bullying campaigns.
00:34:49.000 And one of the policies that so many schools implemented is that it doesn't matter who started the fight.
00:34:56.000 You all get in trouble.
00:34:57.000 Yep.
00:34:57.000 So you're taught not to fight back when you're the victim of bullying.
00:35:01.000 That's like a Irish family.
00:35:03.000 See, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't live in that world, I guess.
00:35:07.000 I mean, maybe I'm lucky and it's like the last chapter of NAM scenario where it's so much worse now than it was when I was younger.
00:35:13.000 But I'd get into a fight.
00:35:17.000 I just, I don't care.
00:35:19.000 I refuse to live in this.
00:35:21.000 I've heard all these stories and I've had everybody tell me if someone comes up to you and they're robbing you, just give in.
00:35:26.000 And I'm like, I'm not going to do it.
00:35:28.000 That study you mentioned, they did the same one with sex offenders.
00:35:30.000 They identified women who seem like easy targets.
00:35:33.000 They're the ones who are not aware of their surroundings, looking at their phones.
00:35:37.000 Their posture is very, it's turned inwards.
00:35:40.000 If you're making eye contact and looking around you, they're not going to try to victimize you.
00:35:45.000 Yeah.
00:35:46.000 I uh, you know, one other strategy you do, I think I can't remember which, which, which sitcom this is from, but it was a woman, and she said, she dresses like a schizo, and she walks down the street, twitching and screaming and yelling at random things.
00:36:01.000 She's like, I've never been bugged once.
00:36:03.000 That's what you got to do.
00:36:04.000 You got to start barking at them.
00:36:06.000 Like, just never shower.
00:36:08.000 Well, I mean, I don't know if you want to live that way.
00:36:11.000 Well, this goes back to what I was saying earlier, which is that people are shaped by the stories they hear.
00:36:16.000 For decades, every single time you saw a criminal on television, they were stealing bread to feed their family, right?
00:36:22.000 This is what we have internalized.
00:36:24.000 This is a narrative that we've been sold, is that people literally only steal things.
00:36:28.000 They only break the law because at some point they were victimized and it's society's fault.
00:36:34.000 I love the Fulton Sheen quote.
00:36:36.000 He said there was no poverty in the Garden of Eden, right?
00:36:38.000 That's actually a very important part of that story.
00:36:41.000 People will do bad things even if they have everything.
00:36:45.000 And if that wasn't true, then how could we persist with this narrative that rich people are bad and rich people want to victimize others because they have all the materials that they could possibly need?
00:36:55.000 That's why you got to help me tell the right stories, twistedplots.com.
00:36:59.000 Jeff Bezos should just Venmo everyone a billion dollars and then this wouldn't be don't you guys remember laws?
00:37:04.000 Don't you remember when Bloomberg was running and on, I think it was NBC News, that woman, I can't remember her name, she was like, I just saw this.
00:37:12.000 Mayor Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign and there are 300 million Americans.
00:37:18.000 He could give every American a million dollars.
00:37:21.000 And I think it was Brian Williams.
00:37:23.000 He was like, it's actually pretty crazy.
00:37:25.000 That's true.
00:37:26.000 And everyone's like, you guys, it's $1.60.
00:37:30.000 What's wrong with you?
00:37:31.000 They figured out in LA that we've spent $900,000 per homeless person per year.
00:37:35.000 Wait, how much?
00:37:36.000 $900,000.
00:37:38.000 Just give them the $900.
00:37:40.000 Per homeless person.
00:37:41.000 How is that possible?
00:37:42.000 Because they can't find this $28 billion or something.
00:37:44.000 It's Blame IA.
00:37:45.000 Welcome to L.A. L.A. intentionally keeps all these people homeless.
00:37:49.000 It's insane.
00:37:49.000 It's insane.
00:37:50.000 It's called the Homeless Industrial Complex.
00:37:51.000 It's not a joke.
00:37:52.000 I know all of them.
00:37:53.000 No, no, yeah, it's real.
00:37:55.000 They get government funding from it.
00:37:57.000 They lie to people.
00:37:59.000 They don't want to solve the problem.
00:38:01.000 And that's what happens when you get Democrats supermajority in your city, in your state, in your county, or whatever.
00:38:06.000 So California's cooked.
00:38:08.000 I don't know how much better off we're going to be because I don't know that Trump can actually do anything.
00:38:13.000 Let's jump to this story.
00:38:14.000 We've got this from the post-millennial.
00:38:17.000 Former Coast Guard lieutenant, self-identified antiva member found not guilty of soliciting an assassination of Trump.
00:38:23.000 Now, the issue, you may be asking yourself, what did he do?
00:38:27.000 They say an affidavit accused Stinson of calling for the assassination of Trump repeatedly since 2020.
00:38:33.000 One post saying the orange man must go at any cost.
00:38:35.000 Another said, you see Trump drowning, what are you doing?
00:38:37.000 He said that he would feel like he would hit him in the head with an oar.
00:38:40.000 He says he wants to stay.
00:38:41.000 I want same with him.
00:38:42.000 In response to another user's post same month, he wrote, somebody ought to do more than sue the orange MF's SS, and it involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here.
00:38:53.000 I'd be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract.
00:38:56.000 We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack.
00:39:00.000 I'll drive.
00:39:01.000 I'm willing to drive.
00:39:02.000 He needs, okay, he kept saying it over and over again.
00:39:05.000 So it's a clear crime.
00:39:06.000 It's not pretty clear, man.
00:39:07.000 Yes, but the problem is we live in, we are in a civil war.
00:39:10.000 I mean, again, I said that in the figurative sense.
00:39:13.000 We are clearly in a period of civil strife with factions.
00:39:15.000 And when they brought this case, it took him two hours to acquit the guy for calling for the murder of Donald Trump.
00:39:21.000 Have fun with where we're going next.
00:39:23.000 Because Jennifer, what's her name?
00:39:25.000 Jennifer Welch from I've Had It Podcast is getting tons of attention right now because she said if Democrats don't get on board with them murdering or wanting to murder conservatives, the Democrats will get the same treatment.
00:39:39.000 Implying they will kill the Democrats unless Democrats get on board with killing conservatives.
00:39:45.000 That's where we're at.
00:39:46.000 She's not been banned.
00:39:48.000 She's allowed to keep doing her podcast, and she's wealthy because of it.
00:39:50.000 So if we can't criminally prosecute a guy who said stuff like this, then I guess, guys, order your 25-year beans now.
00:40:02.000 Well, take it further.
00:40:02.000 You know, Jay, was it Jay Jones that wrote the office?
00:40:06.000 And his people want to murder Republicans and babies and their kids.
00:40:10.000 If this guy wins.
00:40:11.000 Well, the whole party wants to murder babies, right?
00:40:12.000 But like him in particular, he wanted to kill kids.
00:40:15.000 And he's running for office.
00:40:17.000 Yeah, and he only lost like three points when that got exposed.
00:40:20.000 Now, Miara's, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong.
00:40:23.000 He's expected to win in the prediction markets.
00:40:26.000 We don't know for sure.
00:40:28.000 But we're five minutes from Virginia.
00:40:31.000 It's technically the tri-state, but Pennsylvania is a half an hour drive, so you can get anywhere pretty quickly.
00:40:36.000 You drive down any one of these roads into Virginia, and you will see signs for Jay Jones on all the houses.
00:40:42.000 They don't care.
00:40:44.000 And I want to make sure this is clear with a story like this.
00:40:47.000 My wife was asking me about the Trump 34 felony conviction because we did this debate last Friday with Brian Shapiro and it's gone massively viral.
00:40:56.000 I had no idea it would, but I'm getting hit up by tons of people being like, oh, you roasted that guy.
00:41:00.000 I'm like, oh, whatever.
00:41:01.000 I'm sure he's got clips of me and the leftist sharing those as well.
00:41:03.000 So my wife asks me, well, what's Trump accused of doing?
00:41:06.000 And I said, falsification of business records in furtherance of a crime.
00:41:10.000 And she said, did Trump commit any crime?
00:41:12.000 No, he did not.
00:41:14.000 Because the accusation in that case is that Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, believed a insinuation from Trump's CFO was the order to pay Stormy Daniels.
00:41:28.000 Did Trump ever tell you to do it?
00:41:29.000 No, he did not.
00:41:30.000 Did Trump ever tell you to conceal anything?
00:41:32.000 No, he didn't.
00:41:33.000 But I knew he wanted to.
00:41:34.000 Trump's guilty.
00:41:35.000 That's what they did.
00:41:36.000 On top of that, it's the first time in history, and we clarified this yesterday.
00:41:39.000 Fact check.
00:41:40.000 I was mistaken.
00:41:41.000 It is not the first time they've used that law, 175, what is it, 1750?
00:41:49.000 I think it is, 1750.10.
00:41:51.000 I thought it was the first time they ever used it without an underlying charge that is incorrect.
00:41:58.000 It's the first time they've ever done it without a clearly spelled out crime in the indictment.
00:42:04.000 Meaning, in every instance, New York has charged someone with falsification of business records in furtherance of a crime.
00:42:10.000 They required unanimity among the jurors as to the crime intended to be committed spelled out in the indictment, meaning proven beyond a reasonable doubt with Trump.
00:42:21.000 They said, I get later.
00:42:23.000 Yeah, pick it later and you figure it out, which has never been done before.
00:42:26.000 That's exactly what they did.
00:42:27.000 So she asked me, has Trump, she said, okay, hold on.
00:42:31.000 I understand that, but what did Trump do?
00:42:33.000 Like, he didn't do anything, even according to the charge.
00:42:36.000 And then she asked, then how did he get convicted?
00:42:38.000 Because New York is D plus 30.
00:42:41.000 That means any jury will convict any Trump supporter or conservative.
00:42:46.000 We saw this with Jay Sixers when judges wouldn't let them bring in video evidence that was exculpatory.
00:42:52.000 The judge was like, no, that comes.
00:42:54.000 I'm like, but this proves I'm innocent.
00:42:56.000 And the judge is like, don't care.
00:42:58.000 That's not a jury of your peers.
00:42:59.000 It's certainly not.
00:43:00.000 And now that we have two different countries occupying the same territory, this man who clearly called for the murder of Trump, they let him go.
00:43:07.000 In Virginia, unsurprising.
00:43:07.000 Yep.
00:43:10.000 Well, and so I know you were talking about Jay Jones and how he isn't expected to win the race anymore, but the fact that that's even a question at all.
00:43:17.000 The fact that he's running.
00:43:18.000 Yeah, the fact that he's still running, that his party didn't go, you know what?
00:43:21.000 Let's find someone who isn't talking about killing children in there.
00:43:24.000 It's anybody.
00:43:26.000 It's like probably an indication that either they know the voters don't care or they can't find anyone.
00:43:29.000 Like they can't find anyone who doesn't want children dead.
00:43:33.000 So this is actually pretty amazing.
00:43:35.000 Wow.
00:43:36.000 So Kaul Shi has the prediction market.
00:43:42.000 Will Jay Jones drop out of the Virginia Attorney General race?
00:43:45.000 No, he won't.
00:43:47.000 At this point, it's a 1%.
00:43:49.000 And if we actually look at the Attorney General race, he's still got a 33% chance in the prediction market.
00:43:56.000 That is insane to me that a man could say that his rival's children should be murdered.
00:44:03.000 And if he had the choice, he would shoot his Republican rival twice in the head.
00:44:07.000 That's what he said in these texts.
00:44:09.000 And they're like, you know, it's two to one that he loses.
00:44:13.000 So 33?
00:44:15.000 But I will say this.
00:44:16.000 And didn't he call too?
00:44:17.000 Didn't he make a phone call too?
00:44:19.000 But we don't know what was in the phone call.
00:44:21.000 We just know that there were texts after the fact.
00:44:24.000 So I do need to say this.
00:44:25.000 I'm legally required to say shout out to Kaul Shi for sponsoring the show.
00:44:29.000 And I really do appreciate it.
00:44:30.000 I also would like to point out just before we jump in, Seamus, should Jay Jones win, the point I was making about Trump and his convictions and this guy being let go, I don't know that I can drive through Virginia.
00:44:44.000 I'll get pulled over by some commie cop and he's going to be like, you got improper turn signals there, buddy.
00:44:51.000 And then I'll be like, I don't know what you're talking about because I did it right.
00:44:55.000 He's like, well, let's take a, whoa, I smell drugs out of the vehicle.
00:44:58.000 Then he's going to say, look what I found.
00:45:00.000 And no, and it's going to be every jury in Virginia that they're going to put together is going to be like, he's a Trump supporter.
00:45:07.000 Lock him up.
00:45:07.000 Yeah.
00:45:08.000 Yeah.
00:45:09.000 If Jay Jones wins, it's bad enough.
00:45:10.000 In Virginia, they acquitted a guy who literally was calling for the assassination of Trump and saying he wanted to do it.
00:45:16.000 And they let him go.
00:45:18.000 If this AG gets in, yeah, we're headed down a very, very obvious and dark path.
00:45:25.000 Yeah.
00:45:26.000 I mean, I totally agree.
00:45:27.000 I think that, again, like I said, the fact that they didn't replace him.
00:45:31.000 They didn't pull him out of the race.
00:45:32.000 He didn't step down.
00:45:33.000 This wasn't that much of a scandal for them.
00:45:35.000 And then they tried to like wave a group chat in our face a couple days later as if that was equally bad and would distract us from this.
00:45:41.000 It was so transparent.
00:45:42.000 It was so obvious.
00:45:43.000 And it was so indicative of the major flaw with the Democratic Party, which is that, and I mean this truly, sincerely, it's not hyperbole.
00:45:49.000 They literally hate innocent life.
00:45:51.000 This is why abortion is the cornerstone of their entire platform.
00:45:54.000 They hate innocence in general.
00:45:55.000 That's why they always want to push grooming.
00:45:57.000 They want these drag queens to be reading in front of children.
00:46:00.000 They always push as much degeneracy as they possibly can because they hate being reminded that there's more to the world than their own hideousness.
00:46:06.000 And so when someone like Jay Jones says, I hope their children die, he really means that.
00:46:11.000 He really means that.
00:46:11.000 And I got to say this too.
00:46:13.000 We've all gotten angry over politics, right?
00:46:16.000 But I have never at any point been so angry about politics that I wanted someone else's kid to die because that doesn't come from a place of anger.
00:46:24.000 It comes from a place of sickness.
00:46:26.000 Agreed.
00:46:27.000 Wanting someone else's child to be murdered doesn't solve any of your problems.
00:46:32.000 So why would anyone want that to happen?
00:46:34.000 If I had a problem with Seamus, like let's say, for instance, he stole a very rare spoon of mine that once belonged to a grandmother, and I was mad at him and he denied it.
00:46:44.000 And I said, I'm so mad at you, Seamus.
00:46:46.000 You have wronged me.
00:46:47.000 Why would I hope for his children?
00:46:48.000 It's not going to bring my spoon back.
00:46:50.000 Yep.
00:46:50.000 Yeah.
00:46:51.000 You know, nothing apparently will bring my spoon back.
00:46:52.000 Because there's something about tribalness.
00:46:56.000 It's a form of tribalness to carry it from generation to generation, which is a big problem that we are suffering here in our country.
00:47:03.000 Well, Seamus, since you brought up the YR's group chat scandal that broke and got way more attention for whatever reason, it also points out a fatal flaw in the Republican Party because they caved immediately and all these guys got fired and condemned publicly.
00:47:18.000 Were they all fired?
00:47:19.000 This is why I don't like Republicans.
00:47:21.000 I think that pretty much all of those men got fired.
00:47:24.000 Yes.
00:47:24.000 I'm going to make a new party and it's going to be called the Shmeep Republicans.
00:47:31.000 No, I was going to say the bad boys and what is it, the bad dude?
00:47:36.000 Dude who runs a bunch of bad boys.
00:47:38.000 The bad dude who runs a bunch of bad boys.
00:47:38.000 That's what I was going to say.
00:47:41.000 And you know that I don't know if it was ever proven that Gavin Wax was the one responsible for leaking it, but he didn't face any consequences.
00:47:48.000 Well, we don't know who did what, but all I know is they're all a bunch of whiny babies, and the Republican Party is just so weak.
00:47:55.000 Yeah.
00:47:55.000 Cooked.
00:47:56.000 You know, I've said it before.
00:47:57.000 I'll say it again.
00:47:57.000 The one thing I truly respect the Democrats for is how unscrupulous they are in the face of like, you know, it's amazing because I look at some of these podcasts.
00:48:07.000 That woman, Jennifer Welch, whatever her name is, where she's like, get on board with killing conservatives.
00:48:11.000 And I'm like, man, she's just, she's chiseled and just beaten herself so mercilessly that all that is left of her heart is a withered husk of scar tissue.
00:48:24.000 It takes a lot of work to get there.
00:48:25.000 I am impressed with how people like Adam Schiff can just like crazy eye you at the camera and lie and they feel nothing.
00:48:34.000 That takes a tremendous, tremendous guts to be as evil as they are.
00:48:39.000 We don't need to be evil to win.
00:48:40.000 We just need to take our own side.
00:48:43.000 Yeah, no, it's true.
00:48:44.000 We don't have to be like them.
00:48:46.000 Just enforce the laws we already have.
00:48:48.000 Enforce the law.
00:48:49.000 Take your own side.
00:48:50.000 Don't cancel it.
00:48:50.000 Well, look, we tried.
00:48:52.000 He got let go.
00:48:54.000 So that's my point.
00:48:57.000 The conversation we had with Arn McIntyre last week is the sovereign who makes the exemptions.
00:49:02.000 And is the case over or are they going to take it up?
00:49:07.000 No, it's it.
00:49:07.000 He's acquitted.
00:49:07.000 They won't get it.
00:49:08.000 That's it.
00:49:08.000 You can't double jeopardy.
00:49:09.000 You can't bring it back.
00:49:10.000 I didn't know if it was going to go to a higher court or.
00:49:13.000 You can't.
00:49:14.000 I believe that would be double jeopardy.
00:49:16.000 He's been found not guilty.
00:49:18.000 They can't bring it back.
00:49:19.000 So, you know, I hope you guys have prepared for the worst while you hope for the best because I've been saying that these people should get arrested.
00:49:28.000 And silly me.
00:49:30.000 They did arrest a guy.
00:49:31.000 They did charge him.
00:49:32.000 And a jury let him go.
00:49:34.000 So I'll say it again.
00:49:35.000 And shout out to Will Chamberlain because this is his argument.
00:49:41.000 A society that tolerates the veneration of assassins and celebrates assassinations is a society that has opened the door to civil war.
00:49:49.000 And that's why he was saying these people should be banned from social media.
00:49:52.000 And I said, you know what?
00:49:53.000 I didn't agree at first.
00:49:54.000 Now I completely agree.
00:49:56.000 The people that are online celebrating assassinations and calling for more should be insta-banned.
00:50:01.000 They're not going to be.
00:50:02.000 More than banned.
00:50:03.000 So I can tell you this.
00:50:04.000 I really do feel like the prediction of what's to come is obvious.
00:50:10.000 And I hope I'm completely wrong.
00:50:12.000 Unfortunately for me, I kind of remember all the shows I've done over the past several years where I've warned the escalation was coming and it did.
00:50:18.000 And so I can only assume at this point, I'm probably right.
00:50:22.000 So I'll be digging a hole starting tomorrow.
00:50:25.000 You know, Seamus, if you want to help out.
00:50:27.000 Yeah, why not?
00:50:28.000 Guys love digging holes, but we're going to dig it real deep.
00:50:30.000 And we're going to build a 30-foot deep underground bunker.
00:50:33.000 You can't tell about this.
00:50:34.000 They can't know.
00:50:35.000 They don't know where it is.
00:50:36.000 How are they going to find it?
00:50:37.000 Stop talking about it.
00:50:38.000 You got to like, find a good spot.
00:50:42.000 We're going to build it.
00:50:44.000 Just whisper.
00:50:45.000 We're going to build it in Harper's Ferry.
00:50:47.000 Okay, perfect.
00:50:48.000 Just right.
00:50:49.000 Are we able to dig there?
00:50:50.000 We have to call if there's cable lines or something.
00:50:51.000 I don't want to cut through anything.
00:50:52.000 No, we need the cable lines.
00:50:53.000 You got to get a dig on.
00:50:54.000 Are we going to play PlayStation?
00:50:55.000 I'm saying I want to cut them when we dig on accident.
00:50:58.000 Nah, you just damage them.
00:51:00.000 You just, what you do is you cut your finger open and you put a small neodymium magnet in it and stitch it up.
00:51:06.000 And that allows you to feel where the electrical lines are.
00:51:10.000 Oh, that's right.
00:51:10.000 Yeah.
00:51:11.000 Old wives trick old wives tales.
00:51:12.000 This is actually true.
00:51:13.000 I'm not making this up.
00:51:15.000 Why can't we see this as the beginning of trying to use the law to incarcerate and punish people who do say things online?
00:51:26.000 Maybe this is the beginning of it.
00:51:27.000 I know it didn't work.
00:51:29.000 I don't think it matters because you free speech, though.
00:51:33.000 I mean, where do you start, right?
00:51:34.000 You want to start somewhere.
00:51:36.000 Well, I think explicitly.
00:51:37.000 The issue is several years ago, I was involved in a copyright issue around music, and I called, I was speaking with two different lawyers, and they basically said, okay, you probably have a case.
00:51:52.000 Venue is important.
00:51:54.000 If you try this case or file this case in a Democrat jurisdiction, you'll lose in two seconds.
00:52:00.000 And I said, what does this have to do?
00:52:02.000 Well, you're a Trump supporter.
00:52:04.000 You will bring it before a judge.
00:52:05.000 They're going to say, Trump's supporter, throw it out.
00:52:08.000 Side with the corporation in two seconds.
00:52:10.000 So they said we should file this in a heavy Trump district where they're going to side with you for being a Trump supporter.
00:52:15.000 And I was like, but this is about music.
00:52:17.000 And they were like, and this is not the way the courts work right now.
00:52:20.000 And venue selection has become one of the most important things.
00:52:23.000 This guy was found not guilty because he's charged in Virginia, tried by a jury of his peers who thought that what he did was just.
00:52:30.000 So when you have Democrats in New York say, it doesn't matter if you can prove Trump did something wrong.
00:52:36.000 Trump is so evil he must be stopped.
00:52:39.000 This is heading in one direction.
00:52:40.000 That's right.
00:52:41.000 So I'll stress this too.
00:52:42.000 For all these conservatives that think there's a big conspiracy in the elections with cheating, the one thing they really need to consider is that you do not need a conspiracy for a cult.
00:52:53.000 This is called a standalone complex.
00:52:55.000 One of the theories about 2020 was that all of these Democrats working in polling locations or doing signature verification did not need to be told what to do.
00:53:05.000 They hated Trump so much that they would be like, a Trump vote?
00:53:10.000 I can't read that signature garbage.
00:53:11.000 A Biden vote?
00:53:12.000 Close enough.
00:53:13.000 Throw it in.
00:53:14.000 If you do that 10,000 times across the country, Trump can't win.
00:53:19.000 So for all the, I'm not saying that's what happened.
00:53:21.000 I'm saying you can't control for these things.
00:53:24.000 If we do start going after people for this, let's take a look at Kat Abu Gazela.
00:53:29.000 She's literally on video putting her hands.
00:53:33.000 It appears, well, she's blocking the police vehicle.
00:53:35.000 I don't know if her hands are literally in it, but her body's up against it.
00:53:37.000 And that's what she's charged with obstruction.
00:53:39.000 If they bring in an Illinois jury, she will be acquitted.
00:53:44.000 And then the jury will offer her government money.
00:53:46.000 They're going to be like, what more can we do for you, criminal?
00:53:48.000 Because we don't care.
00:53:50.000 You're opposed to Trump.
00:53:51.000 Nothing you do is illegal.
00:53:53.000 I don't disagree with you.
00:53:54.000 What I'm saying is that you have to start somewhere because just banning people arbitrarily off the internet could also get really wily.
00:54:00.000 Arbitrarily.
00:54:01.000 Yeah, well, I mean, it would be arbitrary because there's not a court case, right?
00:54:04.000 you're just saying, I don't like that.
00:54:05.000 And you're, and if the law, but banning is not a criminal action.
00:54:08.000 So you don't need a court case to ban someone.
00:54:10.000 Right.
00:54:10.000 So then it would be arbitrary because there wouldn't be a hearing.
00:54:13.000 That's not arbitrary.
00:54:14.000 Well, sure, it would be if it's just left up to who is it left up to?
00:54:16.000 The company that runs X or YouTube.
00:54:19.000 So they have, they agree with you in that.
00:54:19.000 Right.
00:54:22.000 I wouldn't say those things.
00:54:23.000 Glorification of murder is a bannable offense on YouTube, and YouTube's not banning this woman who said she killed her.
00:54:28.000 She shouldn't be banned, and it should be banned.
00:54:29.000 So she should get banned for it.
00:54:30.000 But people write things, and they are not banned, and they're not, and nothing happened.
00:54:35.000 jay jones so my point is is well he texted someone his personal opinion that That's allowed, but he should not be in a political race.
00:54:35.000 And they should be.
00:54:42.000 In any case, though, they went to court.
00:54:44.000 No, they lost, and I get it, but they did go to court.
00:54:46.000 And I think it's really important to say that they went to court.
00:54:48.000 They lost.
00:54:49.000 This is a crime.
00:54:49.000 And they lost.
00:54:50.000 It is a crime.
00:54:51.000 And they lost because of the judges.
00:54:52.000 I agree with you.
00:54:54.000 As long as we are the jury and the judge.
00:54:57.000 It was a jury trial.
00:54:58.000 It was a jury trial, and they deliberated for two hours and then acquitted him.
00:55:01.000 Well, in Virginia, they probably would have lost with the judge, too.
00:55:04.000 I mean, the judges are also bad.
00:55:06.000 The point is, though, that they did prosecute him.
00:55:10.000 And I think it's really important that they do prosecute crimes when they happen, regardless of what the outcome might be.
00:55:15.000 We can't stop prosecuting because there's no way to win.
00:55:18.000 That's my point.
00:55:18.000 Of course.
00:55:19.000 We should go after more people.
00:55:20.000 My point is that we're going to see more acquittals.
00:55:23.000 And we're actually, I wouldn't be surprised if overt acts of terror end up getting acquitted.
00:55:29.000 That you'll get some antifa guy.
00:55:30.000 I mean, look at Portland arresting conservatives.
00:55:32.000 The only reason Portland actually shut down the Antifa protests was because Trump won in the Ninth Circuit and was going to send in the National Guard.
00:55:38.000 And they don't want the National Guard to come in because then that gives Trump more control and authority in any capacity in the city.
00:55:45.000 So they said, take out Antifa and then we can argue to the courts.
00:55:48.000 He can't send the National Guard in now because there's no longer a criminal presence.
00:55:52.000 A lot of people really liked the National Guard when it was in L.A., by the way.
00:55:55.000 I wouldn't be surprised.
00:55:57.000 I think the issue was really helpful.
00:56:00.000 What were people, yeah, I'm curious what people on the ground were actually saying because obviously all the press was going to show us is that everyone thought it was fascism and Trump is bad because he's orange and white.
00:56:07.000 Well, what had happened after the fires burned is the National Guard came with FEMA.
00:56:12.000 And so we had a lot of National Guard right after the fires.
00:56:15.000 And they were parked everywhere and they protected everything and they were very nice to people.
00:56:19.000 And because it was the fires, everybody loved having them there.
00:56:22.000 And then when they left, there was so much looting and so many problems that everybody that was, you know, experienced having them there was like, can we get them back?
00:56:30.000 So when the National Guard came for the rioting, it was like, bring them.
00:56:35.000 Because it's there's obviously, you know, the people downtown that, you know, were looting and rioting didn't want them there.
00:56:43.000 But I can tell you right now, most people in Los Angeles were really, really relieved they were there.
00:56:47.000 I just don't understand how people living in L.A. have not been radicalized by their experiences and still vote for this.
00:56:54.000 That's a really good question.
00:56:56.000 I'm starting, I'm working on a documentary.
00:56:57.000 It's called Mayors Matter.
00:56:59.000 And I'm visiting all 52 mayors in the state that have a fairly decent mayoral position.
00:57:03.000 And so far I've interviewed several.
00:57:06.000 And the majority of the mayors that I've interviewed, surprisingly, both Democrat and Republican, number one priority on their list is safety in their streets, police and safety.
00:57:16.000 So things are quite different when you really break it down and you talk to mayors of smaller cities.
00:57:21.000 They also don't want to house homeless people.
00:57:23.000 They're like, look, we shouldn't have this problem.
00:57:25.000 And they shouldn't be dropping them off in our city.
00:57:28.000 And we can only have so many beds and those beds are transitional.
00:57:30.000 They can't be just living here.
00:57:31.000 We're not just going to create housing for them.
00:57:33.000 So it's very interesting how things really are when you start talking to the mayors of the cities.
00:57:37.000 The homeless don't even want housing.
00:57:38.000 That's not the dumbest thing that people say about homelessness is that they're in need of or desire housing.
00:57:47.000 Well, also, you know, we have anti-camping rules that they kind of lifted during COVID because of the desperation to find places for people outside.
00:57:54.000 But once you put the anti-camping rules back in place, people can't loiter anymore.
00:57:58.000 So they move to places that they can, like a campsite, and then it's every three days they got to move or something like that.
00:58:03.000 Point being, there's a way around it that you can do it legally.
00:58:06.000 And if you talk to the mayors from all the cities, they don't have the same feeling that you see on the news where they just don't want anybody there.
00:58:11.000 They don't want chaos.
00:58:12.000 They don't want, none of us want it.
00:58:14.000 I don't want it.
00:58:15.000 And I live in the Palisades, you know.
00:58:16.000 Yeah, I mean, that should, in theory, transcend politics if politics were just a matter of human affairs.
00:58:25.000 But I think it is very sad that we're at the point where I think, you know, in the past, people maybe had loftier ambitions for government about the problems it could solve.
00:58:34.000 And now we're like, please just like, can I just leave my bike somewhere locked and come back and it's still there, right?
00:58:41.000 Can I please not have my window smashed in?
00:58:43.000 Can I please not have stuff broken?
00:58:45.000 Can I not have my store broken into enough stuff stolen?
00:58:47.000 Like rule of law has been completely disrespected and disregarded.
00:58:51.000 And it's become a topic of political debate.
00:58:53.000 Even though, as you said, all the mayors will actually say when it comes down to it, like, yes, this is the most important thing to me.
00:58:59.000 We have to make sure we have this.
00:59:01.000 When it comes to their political rhetoric, it unfortunately isn't the case.
00:59:05.000 I mean, I think that select, there might be some like that.
00:59:08.000 But I think the majority of mayors, both Democrat and Republican, want safe communities for the kids.
00:59:12.000 And they'll do anything to get it.
00:59:14.000 They'll work really hard at it.
00:59:16.000 I mean, look, there's, there's, there's, we spend just on the executive branch of government $40 billion a year on 275,000 people working for the state.
00:59:26.000 Just think about that.
00:59:28.000 I mean, we've only got 17 and a half million people paying taxes.
00:59:28.000 Yeah.
00:59:32.000 Like, and that doesn't include all the people in all those cities.
00:59:34.000 That's another 250,000 people.
00:59:37.000 So, you know, you have half a million people working in a state with 17 and a half people, 17 and a half million people paying taxes.
00:59:45.000 I mean, it's just, it's just not sustainable.
00:59:47.000 So, if you sit and talk to people and you really, you know, say, look, what's really important to you, without all the rhetoric, without all of the, you know, Trump, this, and, and, Gavin, and their big fight, because he's, because Gavin Newsom has ruined any chance of a relationship with the Trump administration.
01:00:01.000 He's completely turned on.
01:00:02.000 There's zero.
01:00:03.000 So, California is not in the conversation.
01:00:05.000 And the people that are good in California that really want to see, you know, things better in California, like me, you know, coming out and talking to EPA and saying, hey, will you help us clean up California?
01:00:14.000 Because the EPA can step over, you know, any California legislation.
01:00:17.000 They can step right in.
01:00:18.000 So for me, I'm just going to do my best to circumvent the Newsome administration and ask for help because we need it.
01:00:25.000 I want to pull up a video for Mary because you asked why people would keep voting for this kind of stuff.
01:00:32.000 This is from Zach Sage last month, and it's an amazing video, which basically explains why these people keep voting the way they do.
01:00:42.000 Let's roll tape.
01:00:44.000 Can I get your signature for support?
01:00:45.000 Sure.
01:00:45.000 Okay, wait, I'm required by law.
01:00:47.000 I just have to read you like three of these policies.
01:00:49.000 You're cool to elect a mayor who won't condemn Sharia law.
01:00:54.000 I'm running.
01:00:54.000 I'm asking you.
01:00:56.000 I don't know if I got to get support.
01:00:57.000 Okay, cool.
01:00:59.000 I don't know about that.
01:01:00.000 No, you don't?
01:01:01.000 Well, what is this?
01:01:02.000 It's just like a lot of his policy positions and stuff.
01:01:05.000 You have to recognize the DSA's Bill of Rights socialism, so he'd replace the Bill of Rights with.
01:01:09.000 You can read all this.
01:01:10.000 This is out there.
01:01:11.000 You still want to do it or no?
01:01:12.000 Oh, he's going to tax white people higher?
01:01:14.000 It's on his website first.
01:01:15.000 I still think that this is exactly his policies.
01:01:20.000 You can look all of it up.
01:01:20.000 No, this is literally the first thing on his website on taxing whiter neighborhoods.
01:01:24.000 This is true.
01:01:25.000 No, it literally tells us.
01:01:27.000 It does.
01:01:27.000 Oh, my God.
01:01:28.000 I don't know what's going on.
01:01:29.000 Wait, so you voted for your primary behind the city.
01:01:31.000 It's a colour.
01:01:32.000 I don't know.
01:01:33.000 These people should not be allowed to vote.
01:01:34.000 I'm sorry.
01:01:35.000 No, it doesn't literally say whiter neighborhoods.
01:01:35.000 I just.
01:01:38.000 This is why they keep voting for it because they are cognitively impaired and arrogant.
01:01:43.000 We need to stop teaching people that they're beautiful little snowflakes that are the main characters of their own story.
01:01:50.000 What do I mean?
01:01:50.000 And we should tell, especially Seamus.
01:01:53.000 And we should stop telling people that they need to be in charge of everything.
01:01:56.000 It is okay to not be the boss.
01:01:59.000 You can be like, hey, man, look, I understand.
01:02:01.000 I'm not an expert on this policy stuff.
01:02:02.000 So I defer to you.
01:02:04.000 People like this, this is what you get in these urban environments where they're like, no, you must be wrong.
01:02:09.000 Well, it's women.
01:02:10.000 I mean, if you're saying repeal the 19th?
01:02:12.000 If we're being honest, look, we're never going to repeal the 19th.
01:02:18.000 I mean, I hope that this ages poorly, but we're never going to repeal the 19th.
01:02:22.000 It's not worth talking about.
01:02:23.000 I don't think.
01:02:24.000 It's women who are voting for this stuff.
01:02:26.000 Yes, but the issue I see is that you've got greater male variability hypothesis.
01:02:32.000 And so it's how did, let me put it like this: how is it possible for women to vote for these things?
01:02:40.000 Well, they're not responsible for the outcome.
01:02:42.000 No, but how is it possible for them to literally walk into a polling station and vote for it?
01:02:46.000 A men protecting them.
01:02:48.000 What do you mean?
01:02:49.000 I mean, of course, they're able to vote because men protect their rights.
01:02:53.000 Because men decided women should vote.
01:02:55.000 Yeah.
01:02:56.000 So it's like humans.
01:02:58.000 It's just what humans do.
01:02:59.000 At some point, guys were like, women vote.
01:03:01.000 And now women are voting.
01:03:02.000 And you're like, women shouldn't vote, but it's guys who let them do it.
01:03:05.000 So it's a circular problem.
01:03:08.000 Like, there are stupid men and there are stupid women.
01:03:11.000 And the issue, largely, I think, is, let me ask you, let me ask everybody watching at home this question.
01:03:17.000 Did you know that not a single woman has ever won the Chess Open World Championship?
01:03:25.000 So the question is.
01:03:28.000 Why is there an open division and a women's division?
01:03:33.000 Women aren't as good at chess.
01:03:35.000 I think the answer is very simply because there can only be one world champion, but then there is greater male variability hypothesis, meaning there's going to be way more stupid guys, but way more smart guys.
01:03:47.000 And if you've got one slot and 900 men and 20 women, it's going to be a guy.
01:03:54.000 Yeah, Seamus, you mentioned, I think on PCC, this idea that women are cooks and men are chefs.
01:04:00.000 No, I didn't.
01:04:01.000 You mentioned that.
01:04:02.000 So it was something that came up in our conversation about the momentum.
01:04:04.000 I was thinking about like men become obsessive about the thing they're interested in.
01:04:07.000 When it comes to literally any field, any skill, any hobby, the people who are psychotically good at something are men.
01:04:14.000 Because they obsess.
01:04:15.000 It's true.
01:04:16.000 Men will obsess over a thing.
01:04:18.000 Even this recent Twitch con, this like Twitch event, they did a bunch of video game tournaments and I guess there was a women's division and a dude who thinks he's a woman won.
01:04:30.000 Oh no.
01:04:31.000 And it's because, well, first of all, it's because women accept this shit.
01:04:35.000 I mean, they just put a bunch of trans-identifying males on the cover of Glamour for Women of the Year.
01:04:40.000 No, what?
01:04:41.000 Because women accept this shit.
01:04:43.000 But secondly, it's because men are going to exceed the abilities of women at things like things like chess.
01:04:52.000 Well, Rachel Zegler was one of the winners, but in the UK, it was the Glamour UK cover.
01:04:56.000 Jake Rowling actually posted about it.
01:04:58.000 I was surprised.
01:04:59.000 He said, like, when I was younger, women's magazines told us to be prettier and thinner, and now they're telling us that men are better women than we are.
01:05:05.000 And it's true.
01:05:07.000 And this happens because women are on the editorial teams that make these decisions, and women are the ones buying it off the shelves.
01:05:13.000 Are you saying women should also not be in the workforce?
01:05:16.000 Well, this weird thing will also happen with these publications where in the same way that the people who've controlled our media have told us bad stories to reshape our minds, they've tried to groom women through putting things in women's literature that like historically women haven't sought out.
01:05:31.000 This is the history of Cosmopolitan.
01:05:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:05:34.000 They'll put things in it to get women to behave in ways that are not like historically typical.
01:05:41.000 In Cosmo, they published guest essays under pen names that were completely fictional about casual hookups in order to glamorize the lifestyle of the Cosmo girl, but it was completely made up.
01:05:55.000 And you're absolutely right.
01:05:56.000 Like women's minds have been hijacked by this stuff.
01:05:59.000 Yeah.
01:05:59.000 Yeah.
01:06:00.000 And so I know people say like, oh, women are buying these magazines.
01:06:02.000 It's like, yes, but what you got to remember is just because there's a demand for something doesn't mean the demand is going to be filled.
01:06:07.000 And this comes along, this is the case for men's entertainment and women's entertainment where like what is being sold is not necessarily what's demanded.
01:06:16.000 It's the demand that the establishment's willing to fulfill.
01:06:18.000 It's the demand that the people who are creating it are willing to fulfill and those people have an agenda.
01:06:22.000 Democracy is a mistake.
01:06:24.000 That's what I was saying.
01:06:25.000 I'm on board with that.
01:06:27.000 Founding Fathers didn't like democracy either.
01:06:28.000 They like to do that.
01:06:29.000 We don't have one.
01:06:30.000 They wanted to review.
01:06:31.000 Universal suffrage was not part of the authorship of the Founding Fathers.
01:06:35.000 Yeah, seriously.
01:06:36.000 So I think we need a system of governance.
01:06:39.000 How do we have like a meritocratic political system?
01:06:42.000 The challenge is this.
01:06:43.000 You want the best at the job to do the job, but politics is the one place where it's not possible.
01:06:51.000 Yeah.
01:06:52.000 You can have somebody like, okay, whoever can run faster and climb higher is going to be the firefighter, I guess.
01:06:56.000 You're strong enough to do it.
01:06:58.000 You can have jobs like race car driver.
01:07:00.000 It's like, well, certainly you're winning and you're not.
01:07:02.000 Or like cartoonists.
01:07:03.000 I know.
01:07:03.000 Go to twistedplots.com.
01:07:05.000 Support it.
01:07:05.000 Right.
01:07:06.000 So, but how do you do that for politics?
01:07:08.000 How do you figure out if someone actually is good at running systems?
01:07:10.000 And here's the other problem.
01:07:12.000 Let's say they are, and they go, we have to cut snap benefits for 37 million people, but they'll revolt.
01:07:18.000 But we have to.
01:07:19.000 I mean, I'm telling you, I'm the expert.
01:07:20.000 We have to do it.
01:07:21.000 They're going to be like, okay, they'll chop your head off.
01:07:23.000 Well, this is exactly why I say almost every night that I'm on the show that we need to hold to the principle of subsidiarity and keep things operating at the most local possible level.
01:07:31.000 Because when things are federalized, when things are federalized, subsidiarity and monarchy aren't the same thing, but you can have a monarchist system that follows subsidiarity.
01:07:42.000 The point, though, is that things that have to be handled at the most local possible level should be handled at the most local possible level.
01:07:48.000 And when you don't do that, you end up with a bloated federal government.
01:07:52.000 And as you mentioned, Tim, it's hard to find people who are competent enough to do these jobs.
01:07:56.000 If someone is competent enough to do all of the things that someone in a role in the federal government should theoretically be able to do, like they're not going to work for the federal government.
01:08:05.000 They're going to make a lot of money in the private sector.
01:08:07.000 When things are done at the local level, A, less bandwidth is required from the person in the position.
01:08:14.000 And B, you know, hyper-competent people are more willing to give back to their community and the people around them.
01:08:20.000 Right, right, right.
01:08:21.000 I agree, but you are at the federal level.
01:08:24.000 But you can't also run this government without federal level politicians.
01:08:28.000 And it's always going to devolve the way it is.
01:08:30.000 Yep.
01:08:31.000 So look, I mentioned this.
01:08:33.000 I was talking to, I did an interview with Senator Randpole, and I said to him that there's not going to be any member of Congress, maybe just he and Thomas Massey, who will campaign on, I will cut your benefits.
01:08:45.000 No one will do it.
01:08:46.000 Republicans say, we'll keep your benefits the way they are.
01:08:48.000 We won't touch them.
01:08:49.000 And Democrats say, we'll double them.
01:08:50.000 And that's the only direction you can move.
01:08:51.000 Otherwise, no one will vote for you.
01:08:53.000 And that's what's going to happen until the system explodes.
01:08:56.000 And because this woman is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I feel bad saying that because I'm not trying to insult rocks.
01:09:03.000 Wait a sec.
01:09:04.000 Okay, wait a sec.
01:09:05.000 You're going to sell a lot of stuff or both.
01:09:06.000 A lot of stuff, being a woman voter.
01:09:06.000 Possibly.
01:09:08.000 A lot of women vote and they vote correctly.
01:09:11.000 They just don't tell their husbands because I know I have a lot of friends.
01:09:14.000 But also, I want to talk to you about running up and running down.
01:09:16.000 What happens in California and a lot of other places, especially big city and big, big Democratic, is you run up the ticket or down the ticket, depending on what the DNC wants you to do or the RNC wants you to do, or in our case, Act Blue.
01:09:28.000 If you run on a ticket, you can pick the ticket.
01:09:30.000 And that's probably what's going to happen in California for the governor's race.
01:09:34.000 And it's also a jungle primary.
01:09:35.000 So this governor's race could change very drastically in the coming months.
01:09:39.000 Most importantly is you're absolutely right about keeping it tribal in the cities.
01:09:43.000 There's a reason for that.
01:09:44.000 But the biggest problem that we have in California, which how goes California goes the rest of the country?
01:09:49.000 The biggest problem that we have in California is we have no economic development.
01:09:55.000 We do not grow our business at all.
01:09:58.000 We have run every six million people have left.
01:10:00.000 Every single one of them pays taxes.
01:10:02.000 Nobody stayed there that doesn't pay taxes.
01:10:03.000 Without economic development, the only option for a state is to raise taxes.
01:10:07.000 You can't cut benefits because you've got to get rid of the people that need those benefits.
01:10:11.000 It's a different problem altogether.
01:10:13.000 You've got to have economic development.
01:10:16.000 And if we don't have it, which we haven't had in California for three decades, one of the most interesting things about Mayor's Matter is that I have asked if the lieutenant governor of our state has visited any of the mayors that I've interviewed so far.
01:10:27.000 And the answer is no.
01:10:29.000 All of them, no. 14 didn't know who she was.
01:10:32.000 So at the end of the day, if you don't have economic development in your state, you cannot grow your base.
01:10:38.000 You can only survive by charging higher taxes.
01:10:40.000 And that's what's happening in California.
01:10:42.000 You have to keep it local.
01:10:44.000 And then you've got to stop the Sacramento, in our case, from reaching down to small communities like Cerritos or wherever and saying, hey, we need you to put more housing in.
01:10:53.000 In California, every bill is named in a way that makes it enticing to people that want something for nothing.
01:10:59.000 Like the mansion tax.
01:11:00.000 Mansion tax isn't mansion tax.
01:11:03.000 It's transfer tax.
01:11:04.000 It's a levy.
01:11:05.000 It's an illegal levy on all classes of real estate.
01:11:08.000 It killed the real estate market a trillion dollars in Los Angeles.
01:11:11.000 And we are all suffering from that.
01:11:13.000 And Gavin Newsom is leaving, and he's going to leave our state $500 billion, half a trillion dollars in the hole.
01:11:20.000 Well, and this is the crazy thing.
01:11:22.000 If one particular individual has a billion dollars or their net worth is a billion, people on the left go, no one should have that much money.
01:11:29.000 But then when you have these stupid policies that literally just erase a billion dollars from the economy, oh, that's no big deal.
01:11:34.000 Who cares?
01:11:35.000 It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:11:36.000 Where's all of our concern about all of the things that could have been done for vulnerable people with that billion dollars?
01:11:41.000 That just vanished once the government wasted it instead of one guy having it.
01:11:44.000 But I want to ask you something because you mentioned that you worked in real estate development.
01:11:48.000 And my intuition, based on everything I've understood from the news cycles and what I know about California, is that that's an absolute nightmare out there.
01:11:56.000 How do you navigate that?
01:11:57.000 And what do you think could be done to fix that?
01:12:00.000 Well, when I saw what happened in Hawaii, I thought I'd never seen anything like it.
01:12:03.000 And it's exactly what's happening to us.
01:12:05.000 It's a land grab.
01:12:07.000 Everybody that's in real estate in a big way, including, you know, developers, I don't even want to name names, are buying up distressed, burnt real estate because it's 11 months into it, a couple days.
01:12:20.000 And we wouldn't mind if you named some names.
01:12:24.000 We can't stop you.
01:12:25.000 You're going to hear about them really soon.
01:12:29.000 They've passed this thing called SB 79, which is a high density bill.
01:12:32.000 And a high density bill is the equivalent of, you know, I don't, you know, if I built a seven-story building right next to your house out there, you know, how would you like that?
01:12:40.000 If I just came in and rolled up and said, hey, I'm going to put a seven-story apartment building right here.
01:12:45.000 They change the actual zoning.
01:12:47.000 I would say, do it, fill it with Section 8.
01:12:49.000 I'd love that.
01:12:49.000 I would like it because it would increase my property value.
01:12:51.000 You think it would?
01:12:52.000 Okay, so that's a good question.
01:12:53.000 It depends on the area.
01:12:54.000 Part of the problem is like in New York, I think part of the biggest, some people are going to argue with me, but New York was built on this stock exchange.
01:13:01.000 That's what created New York.
01:13:02.000 New York was the stock exchange.
01:13:04.000 And, you know, $4.7 trillion spinning around the earth.
01:13:07.000 Okay.
01:13:08.000 But over since COVID, you know, we got $7.8 trillion spinning around outside of the earth that none of us ever touch.
01:13:14.000 And that's where Wall Street lives.
01:13:14.000 Okay.
01:13:16.000 It doesn't live in New York anymore.
01:13:17.000 You don't have to show up every day on the floor.
01:13:18.000 You don't have to pull tickets and get on the phone and call everybody.
01:13:21.000 So if the new mayor decides that he wants to give away New York, the majority of the real money in New York is, they're just visiting New York.
01:13:29.000 Business doesn't happen in New York anymore.
01:13:30.000 It happens on, it's not the same thing.
01:13:33.000 In California, our Wall Street is our gold coast.
01:13:36.000 It's real estate.
01:13:37.000 So it's here.
01:13:38.000 It's not here.
01:13:39.000 So we have to protect it or we're just going to lose it to the masses, which I don't see happening.
01:13:44.000 A lot of the real estate burned down and they're not going to let it be brought back.
01:13:48.000 They're going to turn it into high-density housing.
01:13:48.000 That's correct.
01:13:50.000 So I want to ask you about that.
01:13:50.000 Well, yeah.
01:13:52.000 I mean, do you think anything can be done to prevent this?
01:13:55.000 And if you could recommend one policy for California, as someone who actually works in this field, everyone says trust the experts.
01:14:02.000 I think the experts are the people who are actually able to make a living in the field.
01:14:05.000 So as someone who is an expert in the sense that you know how the market functions well enough to operate in it, if there was one thing that the state of California could do differently to get more houses built, what would that be?
01:14:18.000 Oh, I was going to get more houses built?
01:14:20.000 Yeah, yeah, to get more houses built.
01:14:22.000 Well, I was going to say, though, if I could have one policy, it would be voter ID.
01:14:25.000 Oh, amen, of course.
01:14:27.000 That's a given.
01:14:28.000 And debris on rail.
01:14:29.000 We wouldn't drive everything on trucks.
01:14:31.000 And we wouldn't change zoning.
01:14:33.000 Okay.
01:14:33.000 Number one thing you cannot do is it's called ripping the rug.
01:14:36.000 You make an investment in something and then I come along and I change the zoning.
01:14:40.000 Yeah.
01:14:41.000 And if you're changing the zoning, then people aren't going to invest.
01:14:43.000 And when you rip the rug, people won't invest.
01:14:45.000 And that's by definition what's wrong with California.
01:14:47.000 We change the rules after you've already made your decision.
01:14:50.000 So you build, we need workforce housing and nobody wants to call it workforce housing because they don't like the name of it.
01:14:54.000 So why don't we call it, you know, employee accommodations?
01:14:57.000 You know, I don't care what we call it, but if you move a company in there, you've got to give them a place to live.
01:15:01.000 We try to build a railroad or our high-speed rail.
01:15:03.000 Oh my gosh, yeah, it was a decision.
01:15:05.000 Okay, well, would it surprise you to know that probably 25% of the money that was used for high-speed rail went into the brick and mortar structure?
01:15:13.000 The rest of it went to all the people fighting the rail.
01:15:16.000 So you can't, you know, it's bureaucracy cannot build.
01:15:20.000 And if you have a government the size of ours with that kind of spending, you've already taken the taxpayers who are paying six, $7,000 a year just to pay salaries for government before you do anything else.
01:15:31.000 That's why we don't have enough police.
01:15:33.000 That's why we don't have enough fire.
01:15:34.000 So in real estate, we cannot rip the rug.
01:15:36.000 We cannot rezone things.
01:15:38.000 And also, we have property tax.
01:15:40.000 Property tax is for police and fire.
01:15:42.000 What does it say on your property tax bill here?
01:15:44.000 It says we are stealing from you.
01:15:47.000 Okay, so property tax bill.
01:15:50.000 You got to say no.
01:15:52.000 It says right on it.
01:15:53.000 Read it.
01:15:53.000 It says what it's for.
01:15:54.000 You can't scare me.
01:15:56.000 It's probably not that terrible here, is it?
01:15:58.000 Property tax.
01:15:59.000 Property tax.
01:15:59.000 Is it terrible?
01:16:01.000 Taxes in West Virginia are really, really bad because this was a Democrat state for a long time.
01:16:06.000 Yeah.
01:16:06.000 And it only recently turned Republican.
01:16:08.000 It has some of the worst tax law in the country.
01:16:09.000 Well, I'm curious because also, I know there was some proposition voted on in the 90s.
01:16:15.000 Last time I was in California, I was actually surprised by, I know the property taxes there seem high, but they're actually low compared to other blue states.
01:16:23.000 Oh, well, that's because we have this thing called Prop 13, which is this 1%.
01:16:27.000 And it's like protected by this group.
01:16:27.000 Right.
01:16:30.000 They're called the Howard Jarvis Group.
01:16:33.000 Basically, they covet and protect it.
01:16:35.000 And they're the gatekeepers, I should say.
01:16:37.000 And they've literally fought everything off since 1979.
01:16:40.000 And this mansion tax thing snuck in there.
01:16:43.000 And the mansion tax, like if you have a lot in the Pacific Palisades worth $5 million, you are paying mansion tax on that burned out ash pile.
01:16:49.000 That's crazy.
01:16:50.000 It's insane.
01:16:51.000 That's so heavy.
01:16:52.000 And also, you know, it affected the real estate market so badly in LA that nobody wants to trade.
01:16:55.000 So the real estate just stopped trading.
01:16:57.000 And that's the same as Wall Street stopping trading.
01:16:59.000 Yeah.
01:16:59.000 So the whole thing's affected.
01:17:01.000 And if I were the governor of the state, I would never rezone with people that have invested.
01:17:06.000 It's just not cool.
01:17:07.000 And we do have a housing problem, but what we really have is the homeless problem because we don't have anywhere to put them.
01:17:11.000 And we're too soft on the problem.
01:17:14.000 Like you have to separate people.
01:17:15.000 You have to say, hi, what's your problem?
01:17:17.000 You know, come up to the table.
01:17:18.000 Are you a drug addict?
01:17:18.000 Are you forever homeless?
01:17:19.000 Are you just having a tough time?
01:17:21.000 Do you think that they let the wildfires happen on purpose?
01:17:24.000 Well, I definitely think that they, that's a good question.
01:17:28.000 And part of me does.
01:17:29.000 So let me preface that with a couple things.
01:17:31.000 First, there was the claim that they didn't send enough firefighters out in time.
01:17:36.000 There's another claim that firefighters initially, when the fire was put out, because it reignited, knew that there was still some embers and they were instructed to leave and did.
01:17:45.000 I don't know if that's true or not, but those are the rumors I see online.
01:17:48.000 Okay, so what happened is we've got a pretty big environmental control that was in place about three decades ago that says we have to protect brush thistle, which is this weird brush that grows underneath all of the forestry.
01:18:00.000 We also have urban forestry.
01:18:03.000 We have the Santa Monica Conservatory.
01:18:04.000 We have all these groups that manage open space.
01:18:07.000 None of them have any money, so they never clean it.
01:18:09.000 So everywhere around is basically like a Tinderbox, right?
01:18:12.000 So a fire starts and it's just impossible.
01:18:15.000 On top of it, we have not maintained our water and our water structures and our water pumping and all of our reservoirs are all dilapidated.
01:18:23.000 One was closed.
01:18:24.000 The one that we use for the Palisades was closed.
01:18:26.000 This is, again, a problem with just maintaining infrastructure.
01:18:30.000 Again, property tax is for infrastructure, police, and fire, and schools.
01:18:33.000 That's what it's for.
01:18:34.000 All of it is a shut show.
01:18:34.000 Okay.
01:18:36.000 Can I say that on air?
01:18:37.000 Sorry.
01:18:38.000 Well, we've already seen it work out.
01:18:39.000 It was climate change.
01:18:40.000 Beep.
01:18:41.000 I just said beep.
01:18:43.000 Climate change is gone now.
01:18:44.000 So now they have.
01:18:45.000 Well, we definitely heated it up there.
01:18:47.000 So now we have the same problem where basically they haven't, you know, they're not doing any brush clearance and they're not fixing the water problems.
01:18:54.000 But more importantly, is they found this guy that lit a fire in the Lachman fire, this little fire.
01:19:00.000 It was like 10 acres or something.
01:19:02.000 And they put it out.
01:19:04.000 They called and put it out about 10 days before the real fires or seven days before the real fires.
01:19:08.000 And the guy went to Florida or left.
01:19:08.000 They put it out.
01:19:10.000 Now, the big thing is, did the city cause it?
01:19:12.000 Did the state cause it?
01:19:13.000 And I don't want to push name names and say who did it because I'm not sure.
01:19:16.000 But at the end of the day, what it looks like to me is that if they have an arsonist in the middle of this thing, whether he did or didn't, it removes liability from the state and city.
01:19:25.000 And to me, that's like not, I mean, this kid's going to get hung up.
01:19:28.000 I'm sure he lit the fire.
01:19:29.000 I'm sure it was terrible, but they didn't knock it down all the way or relit.
01:19:34.000 I think this guy like flicked a cigarette or something and then he searched on his phone.
01:19:37.000 Can I get in trouble for an accidental fire or something?
01:19:39.000 Yeah.
01:19:40.000 The implication being he was smoking out at the brush.
01:19:43.000 And nobody's up there going, oh, yeah, this guy caused these fires.
01:19:46.000 What caused these fires is we didn't have any water.
01:19:48.000 We didn't have the fire department is paper thin.
01:19:51.000 There's just not enough people.
01:19:52.000 They've made so many cuts.
01:19:54.000 Half the equipment doesn't work.
01:19:55.000 And then you have this massive, you know, crazy brush thing.
01:19:59.000 I think society is just crumbling.
01:20:02.000 And I'm not saying it lightly.
01:20:03.000 I mean, everywhere I look, society is fractured in some ways.
01:20:09.000 I think this largely has to do with no new young people.
01:20:12.000 We are in it.
01:20:14.000 Every year, we had a consistently large number of 16-year-olds to enter the low-skilled workforce, 18-year-olds, 20-year-olds, except this time.
01:20:24.000 So Democrats try flooding the country with illegal immigrants, thinking this might solve the problem.
01:20:29.000 Of course, it will not because all you're doing is bringing in Honduran farmers to try and replace what should have been assistant managers at, you know, in an office or something.
01:20:37.000 It's not going to work.
01:20:39.000 And so now we have all these stories.
01:20:41.000 The latest one of the semi-truck with the naked Chinese guy in it who can't speak English and doesn't know what street signs are, because they're like, we need people.
01:20:50.000 We'll take whatever.
01:20:50.000 It doesn't work that way.
01:20:52.000 And so I think it's crumbling.
01:20:53.000 So there's no firefighters.
01:20:54.000 Yep, no firefighters.
01:20:56.000 We can't even open restaurants out here because they couldn't find staff to work in the kitchens.
01:20:59.000 It's crazy.
01:21:00.000 I think there's also this really big disconnect with what's happening in the tech industry.
01:21:04.000 I mean, you know, Amazon just laid off, what, 14,000 people?
01:21:06.000 30.
01:21:08.000 Yesterday it was 14.
01:21:08.000 Did they raise it?
01:21:10.000 The initial report was that they were going to cut 30,000 jobs.
01:21:12.000 So yesterday it was 14,000, I think.
01:21:14.000 I mean, that's tremendous.
01:21:17.000 You know, Walmart was the largest.
01:21:19.000 14,000 was confirmed yesterday.
01:21:21.000 Yeah.
01:21:21.000 Up to 30,000 potentially.
01:21:24.000 So all those people that can have their own STEM degrees and all that stuff, what are they going to do?
01:21:28.000 There's no shop in schools.
01:21:29.000 We need to bring back shop in high schools.
01:21:30.000 I mean, how do you not have shop?
01:21:32.000 How do you not teach people a basic skill set?
01:21:34.000 Oh, we got to abolish high school.
01:21:36.000 Okay.
01:21:37.000 Well, first of all, there's this whole thing going on.
01:21:39.000 While I was here, by the way.
01:21:41.000 High school is the problem.
01:21:42.000 While I was in D.C., I went to this really cool conference at Heritage, and they were talking about removing iPhones or telephones out of schools from K through 12 because of the decline in learning.
01:21:52.000 And it's tremendous if you look at the math on it.
01:21:55.000 And DeSantis is already, DeSantis in Florida has already started it.
01:21:58.000 And I'm going to propose the initiative in California.
01:22:00.000 I think it's a really great idea.
01:22:01.000 I think the school is the decline in learning.
01:22:03.000 I think government institutionalized learning facilities make communists.
01:22:08.000 Ah, that's probably true, especially in college.
01:22:12.000 It is.
01:22:12.000 And I've had personal experience with some of this stuff.
01:22:16.000 I tell a lot of stories, but I had one story where there's an individual I hired for a job with a master's degree, and they couldn't figure out how to solve simple problems on the back end of a website.
01:22:26.000 Literally something you could just Google search.
01:22:28.000 It was rudimentary.
01:22:29.000 I don't want to get too personal, but they said, I need to be told what to do.
01:22:33.000 And I said, that's not how this works.
01:22:35.000 You are hired for the job, so you do it.
01:22:38.000 If I was working on the back end of a website, I'd be the web dev.
01:22:42.000 But when you're hired for that job, you figure it out.
01:22:45.000 They couldn't because they spent 24 years of their lives in an environment where they're told what to do every time, as opposed to solving the problem on their own.
01:22:55.000 So I say, I have no problem with some kind of education system, but our current public government institutionalization just makes communists who are dependent on government and expect government to feed them.
01:23:08.000 How does it work?
01:23:09.000 Schools in our country?
01:23:10.000 Lunchtime, you go to the cafeteria, the government food is available.
01:23:13.000 It's low quality.
01:23:14.000 It's crap, but the government has it for you.
01:23:15.000 Got a problem?
01:23:16.000 Talk to the government.
01:23:17.000 Then you get out of these, these young people.
01:23:20.000 We were like, man, when these kids get out of college, they're in for a rude awakening.
01:23:20.000 We all laughed.
01:23:24.000 They got out of college and they were in for a rude awakening, except we didn't realize they were violent and threatened American society saying, No, no, no, we don't care the way you think it should be.
01:23:24.000 And what happened?
01:23:35.000 We're going to beat you until you give us what we want.
01:23:38.000 So we started seeing college students scream at the professor, get their professors fired.
01:23:42.000 Then they get out of college.
01:23:43.000 Now they're in the workforce.
01:23:44.000 They nuked Bud Light and Target.
01:23:46.000 They are just destroying everything because these people, they're voting for Zoran Mamdani and Gavin Newsom because they're just saying the government should always tell us what to do because we raised them to think so.
01:23:58.000 Well, and this gets into this point about what they tell us, what stories they tell us.
01:24:02.000 We all remember the narrative about the Great Depression we were given in school.
01:24:06.000 Everything was horrible because the government wasn't doing enough.
01:24:08.000 And then FDR stepped in and saved the day.
01:24:11.000 It's like, well, actually, the United States had the slowest economic recovery of any developed nation on the entire planet.
01:24:17.000 FDR confiscated everybody's gold.
01:24:19.000 He put people in internment camps.
01:24:21.000 He literally set prices based on what he thought were lucky numbers that came to him in dreams.
01:24:28.000 He had more than two terms.
01:24:30.000 Like he was all of the things that they say that Trump is going to be.
01:24:34.000 He was all of the things that they warn us about Trump being.
01:24:38.000 And we were told he was a hero.
01:24:39.000 We're told he's like the best president we ever had.
01:24:41.000 Because he radically expanded the size and scope of government.
01:24:41.000 Why?
01:24:45.000 Yeah.
01:24:46.000 Yeah.
01:24:47.000 Do you did you like high school?
01:24:50.000 No, I didn't like school.
01:24:51.000 I didn't like, listen, I had some awesome teachers, but I just was not into school.
01:24:56.000 I think schools are.
01:24:57.000 Did you like high school?
01:24:58.000 I didn't go.
01:24:59.000 Did you talk about high school?
01:25:00.000 I think I went for maybe like, I think it was three months and then I stopped going and got homeschooled.
01:25:05.000 You're super smart, though.
01:25:06.000 You have a high IQ.
01:25:08.000 I suppose.
01:25:08.000 I think that probably comes from the fact that I was homeschooled before starting grade school.
01:25:14.000 And I think the problem for me was, I call it a problem, but I was homeschooled before starting kindergarten.
01:25:24.000 So I entered grade school three or four grades ahead of everybody.
01:25:28.000 And it is annoying when your teachers are lying to you and you know they're lying to you and they lie to everybody.
01:25:34.000 And that's what our schools do.
01:25:36.000 So it's just all, I think I'm not going to tell every single story about school I could, but I can tell one, which was a relatively formative moment for me where I've known, I knew negatives before I even went to grade school, how to count negatives or whatever.
01:25:54.000 And I was in, I think it was eighth grade, and I'm doodling, and the teacher had a stupid math problem.
01:26:00.000 It was like 30 minus 50.
01:26:02.000 And she's going to catch me and she says, who can answer this question?
01:26:05.000 She goes, Mr. Poole.
01:26:05.000 And she yells at me.
01:26:06.000 And then I look up and I'm negative 20.
01:26:08.000 And I go back to doodling little stick figures.
01:26:10.000 And she goes, And what's the formula?
01:26:11.000 And I was like, what formula?
01:26:12.000 She's like, what's the formula for 30 minus 50?
01:26:15.000 And I said, 5, 4, 3, 2.
01:26:19.000 What are you talking about?
01:26:20.000 There's some stupid, circuitous method for flipping the minus sign and spinning it around.
01:26:25.000 And I said, I said, I was like, I don't understand.
01:26:28.000 I gave you the right answer.
01:26:29.000 And she was like, yes, but we're here to learn formula.
01:26:31.000 And I said, but I don't need that if I could just do it in my head, which is like a fairly common thing that you hear all the time at Trope of the student being like, I know how to do the math.
01:26:38.000 And then I said something to her, like, I'm sorry if I'm smarter than you and don't have to do it the hard way.
01:26:42.000 And so I got detention.
01:26:43.000 And then I was like, school's fake because she wasn't trying to teach me.
01:26:47.000 She wasn't trying to improve my math skills.
01:26:50.000 She was just trying to waste my time.
01:26:52.000 And so I'm over this.
01:26:53.000 And then what happened was when I go to high school, I'm in a public high school and I'm sitting in a literature class where the student is going, and the teacher goes, Amazon.
01:27:06.000 Amazon confirms.
01:27:11.000 And I'm going, why am I sitting here?
01:27:13.000 What a waste of my and everyone else's time because the classroom can only go as fast as the slowest student.
01:27:19.000 Yep.
01:27:20.000 So I got straight F's except for music class and my parents freaked out and pulled me and my brother out and then we got homeschooled instead.
01:27:26.000 And that was when I was 14.
01:27:28.000 And so instead of going to high school, I skateboarded playing music and programmed video games and made websites.
01:27:34.000 But you did a really good job learning.
01:27:36.000 I think anyone could.
01:27:38.000 So I have three kids and I homeschooled one of them.
01:27:40.000 Good for you.
01:27:40.000 Yeah.
01:27:41.000 I didn't do it.
01:27:41.000 Yeah.
01:27:42.000 I hired somebody to do it.
01:27:42.000 That's not easy.
01:27:44.000 That's our plan for he needed to be homeschooled.
01:27:47.000 He didn't want to be, he didn't fit into the whole thing.
01:27:49.000 I don't think any kid.
01:27:50.000 Home school's a mess.
01:27:52.000 Their intent.
01:27:53.000 Listen, the most formative, most important years of a human being's life are the ages zero through five.
01:27:58.000 And our society says do nothing.
01:28:01.000 Now, to be fair, there are a lot of kids' programs, but what we're giving to our kids these days and in the past 20 years is psycho-babble, garbled nonsense on YouTube that ranges from insane, deranged, sexualized Sonic the Hedgehog.
01:28:15.000 Not a joke.
01:28:16.000 Yeah.
01:28:16.000 It's literally what they're doing.
01:28:18.000 Blood, guts, murder, eating feces, and they're giving it to babies.
01:28:18.000 Creepy stuff.
01:28:22.000 And the best case scenario is a video from Mickey, from Disney Jr., where it's like four hours.
01:28:30.000 This is not a joke.
01:28:32.000 I think it's like four hours straight of Mickey Mouse singing hot dog.
01:28:36.000 That will make your kid a retard.
01:28:38.000 And I'm not exaggerating.
01:28:40.000 And so you are, so for me, I was lucky in that I'm two and my mom's like, let's do math.
01:28:46.000 Other kids are sitting in front of the screen where they're going, hot dog, hot dog, hot dog.
01:28:51.000 It's not a joke.
01:28:52.000 I am not making a joke.
01:28:53.000 Oh, dude, I know.
01:28:54.000 I know you're talking about.
01:28:55.000 Hot dog, hot dog.
01:28:57.000 I know exactly what you're talking about.
01:28:58.000 I mean, it's just wild to me that there is even a debate about whether phones should be in classrooms.
01:29:04.000 I'm sorry.
01:29:04.000 Wait, wait, exactly.
01:29:05.000 Mary, Mary, Mary, I'm sorry.
01:29:07.000 I was wrong.
01:29:08.000 It's not four hours.
01:29:09.000 It's 14.
01:29:10.000 It's 10 hours.
01:29:12.000 I'm not joking.
01:29:13.000 Disney Jr., 25 million subscribers, hot dog dance, 10-hour version.
01:29:19.000 Parents are putting this in front of their babies and pressing play, and it is literally 10 hours of Mickey Mouse singing the same thing.
01:29:28.000 Your kids are going to be retards, and they're going to have deranged worldviews about people.
01:29:33.000 They're going to get surgical Mickey Mouse ears attached to their heads.
01:29:36.000 This is not a joke.
01:29:38.000 So you do agree with me.
01:29:39.000 This is a way to get this out of high school.
01:29:41.000 All of this is, listen, so my daughter is now eight months old.
01:29:47.000 And I am, my wife.
01:29:52.000 Congratulations, By the way.
01:29:53.000 I appreciate it.
01:29:53.000 And my mother-in-law were playing children's music, which is the fine children's music of like the wheels on the bus.
01:30:00.000 And I said no to this.
01:30:02.000 Not that I have unilateral authority, but I strongly expressed my disdain and changed the music.
01:30:07.000 And I said, the issue is never before in the history of humanity did we have children's content until the last 60 or 70 years.
01:30:17.000 Children used to learn by observing their parents.
01:30:20.000 That was it.
01:30:22.000 We didn't lie to them and create fake versions of reality because babies need to see exactly what adult life is so they can absorb that and emulate it.
01:30:32.000 So when you play music like Wheels on the Bus, which a lot of people are going to be like, Tim, you're a party pooper and let kids be kids.
01:30:38.000 You do whatever you want.
01:30:38.000 I don't care.
01:30:39.000 My point is, my daughter, there's a really great song by the band Me Without You.
01:30:46.000 The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie is the song.
01:30:48.000 And it's the parable of the fox, the crow, and the cookie, literally in an indie rock song.
01:30:52.000 And I'm like, that's my limit on children's music.
01:30:55.000 An actual indie rock band with a song from the 2000s, but it's the real parable of the fox.
01:31:00.000 You guys know the story of the fox, the crow and the cookie, right?
01:31:02.000 No.
01:31:03.000 The fox tries to steal the cookie, but he can't, and the crow snatches it.
01:31:08.000 So the fox goes to the crow and says, Mr. Crow, would you please share?
01:31:12.000 And the crowd won't do it.
01:31:13.000 So then he says, Well, if you're not going to share it, please, would you sing for me?
01:31:16.000 Because your voice is so beautiful, it would ease my pains and fears.
01:31:20.000 And the crow, as arrogant as he is, says, Well, of course I'll sing.
01:31:23.000 And then the cookie falls down, the fox snatches it and runs off.
01:31:26.000 It's a great, it's a great parable, and it's a rock song.
01:31:29.000 But I'm like, my, you know, the songs we're going to play, we're going to play like classic rock songs.
01:31:34.000 We're going to play classical music, classic rock songs, real music that adults listen to.
01:31:39.000 Nothing explicit.
01:31:40.000 That's, you know, people later.
01:31:41.000 But I don't want hot dog, hot, diggity dog garbage.
01:31:44.000 I'm sitting with this Miss Rachel.
01:31:46.000 She's talking to the kids like this.
01:31:49.000 Hi, babies.
01:31:51.000 And then she has these really brightly colored animations on the screen, trying to hyper-stimulate the child's mind.
01:31:58.000 And they literally see colors in more saturated light than adults do and hear sounds a different way at that age.
01:32:05.000 It's mesmerizing and they're glued to the screen.
01:32:08.000 My daughter listens to Devil Went Down to Georgia and great songs like that.
01:32:16.000 Dude, did you see the bird?
01:32:17.000 Did you see the viral tweet about that?
01:32:19.000 About Devil Goes Down to Georgia?
01:32:20.000 No, which one?
01:32:21.000 Someone's like, it's such a uniquely American song because in any other culture, it'd be about like hubris and challenging the devil to a fiddling contest.
01:32:27.000 But of course, in this song, like he wins, he's actually that is pretty great.
01:32:34.000 I mean, the song's amazing.
01:32:36.000 However, I like the other meme better.
01:32:38.000 I don't know if you saw it where it said, when I was younger, I was scared because I genuinely thought the devil's band, the devil's band sounded way better than yeah.
01:32:49.000 What was it?
01:32:49.000 It was his band of demons.
01:32:50.000 That's such a great band.
01:32:52.000 That was a fun, fun, really great song.
01:32:52.000 That's right.
01:32:54.000 Yeah.
01:32:55.000 Yeah.
01:32:55.000 Solid one.
01:32:56.000 That was a real short period, though, of music.
01:32:58.000 It didn't last a long time.
01:32:59.000 No, it didn't.
01:33:00.000 Well, to what you were saying earlier about the debate about like whether smartphones should be allowed in the classroom, it just shouldn't even be a debate.
01:33:06.000 I never was never allowed to have phones in the classroom.
01:33:10.000 I went to incredibly strict schools and it was not even like that wasn't even a conversation.
01:33:17.000 You had to wear uniforms.
01:33:18.000 You weren't allowed to express yourself.
01:33:19.000 If you so much as whispered in class, it was like, you're out of here.
01:33:22.000 And you either follow the rules or you're out.
01:33:25.000 And we just learned that there is a hierarchy between us, the students who are meant to be taught and the teachers who are authority figures.
01:33:33.000 And it just wasn't questioned.
01:33:36.000 I do want to stress, I don't know how my daughter will end up turning out because she only watches two types of programming: Married to Strangers, which is like 90-day fiancé and, you know, that's what women watch.
01:33:48.000 Because my wife watches that all the time.
01:33:49.000 And then Fox News.
01:33:51.000 So that's it.
01:33:52.000 If she doesn't actually watch it because we don't let her watch watch, but I'll be watching the news and she'll be in the room and that's what's on.
01:33:58.000 And she'll hear it.
01:33:59.000 Yeah.
01:33:59.000 And then when I leave, my wife will put on Love is Blind or 90 Day Fiancé or whatever.
01:34:06.000 So she might have an accent like a news anchor or an influencer.
01:34:10.000 Well, a Republican influence.
01:34:13.000 I didn't want to say this to Jesse Waters, but when the five is on and Greg Gutfeld talks, she gets excited and looks at the screen.
01:34:19.000 And then it switched to Jesse and she started crying.
01:34:23.000 And then when Greg started talking, she stopped and fucked up again.
01:34:26.000 When Greg Gutfeld is your Miss Rachel.
01:34:29.000 So funny, dude.
01:34:31.000 I mean, I definitely think that, you know, I have a very strong opinion about, you know, whether or not school's for everybody.
01:34:38.000 And I don't think it is for everybody.
01:34:39.000 But, you know, not a lot of people can have a situation where they have two people at home and they can stay home and raise their kids at home.
01:34:46.000 And public school serves, you know, the greater good.
01:34:50.000 It does, but it's terribly unacceptable.
01:34:52.000 But you have to have, you have to have some version of it.
01:34:56.000 And this, the, the math that I saw the other day in this, in this symposium about what the iPhone and what phones have done, especially smartphones to kids since 2012, in terms of their ability to learn, pay attention, stimulation, things like that.
01:35:10.000 It's mind-boggling.
01:35:11.000 This is an unacceptable condition for our country.
01:35:15.000 It's insane.
01:35:16.000 That you have to have both parents working.
01:35:19.000 And Zoran Mamdani says that he's going to give free childcare.
01:35:23.000 And this is part of the communist plan.
01:35:25.000 Can you imagine who's going to be watching them?
01:35:26.000 The government.
01:35:27.000 The point is, what he's really saying is, give your children to the state.
01:35:30.000 And they're clapping and cheering.
01:35:32.000 Utopians have said this for all of history.
01:35:34.000 You even go back to Plato's Republic.
01:35:35.000 They always want to undermine the family.
01:35:37.000 They want to take children away from parents as early as possible.
01:35:40.000 This is part of the agenda.
01:35:42.000 By the way, I think kindergarten and preschool and all school is free childcare.
01:35:47.000 Yeah.
01:35:47.000 Yeah.
01:35:48.000 I think, especially those early preschool schools.
01:35:50.000 We should make it as good as we can make it.
01:35:51.000 And this is a start.
01:35:54.000 And we should put shop back in school.
01:35:55.000 I mean, I don't know why we don't put things in schools that kids really want to learn or need to learn.
01:35:59.000 Well, I appreciate you mentioning, by the way, though, that you don't think school's for everyone.
01:36:02.000 I've got my dad's very, very brilliant.
01:36:06.000 His brothers are also smart, but like my dad was book smart.
01:36:09.000 He loves school.
01:36:10.000 His brothers did not.
01:36:11.000 They basically all became Chicago police.
01:36:14.000 Very smart guys, but just did not like to sit still, didn't like to sit in a desk.
01:36:18.000 And one of my uncles, he ended up, may he rest in peace, he was a detective.
01:36:22.000 So very, very smart guy.
01:36:24.000 But my dad has this story about when they were kids and my dad loved school and his brother hated it.
01:36:30.000 His brother said, I hate school.
01:36:32.000 A bunch of women make you sit there and talk to them.
01:36:37.000 Well, I mean, I agree with the concept that school is not for everyone, but if we're to have schools, the kids need to be treated like little soldiers.
01:36:45.000 Very austere.
01:36:47.000 They need to have authority that they respect.
01:36:52.000 I think it's very much learning how to get along with people.
01:36:55.000 The problem with schools is that children are learning from children.
01:36:58.000 Yep.
01:36:59.000 That is not the way human society has ever functioned and it can't function.
01:37:03.000 Well, and also nowadays, we break them up into different age groups.
01:37:06.000 So it's like you are with your grade, but children never developed that way historically.
01:37:11.000 You were talking to older kids and younger kids.
01:37:14.000 So you were not in this weird niche where your development was stultified.
01:37:17.000 There's a viral video that we bring up quite a bit where it's like kids post-World War II being interviewed.
01:37:24.000 And it's like a seven-year-old kid going, I'm quite concerned with the economy of Switzerland.
01:37:28.000 You know, following the war, and everyone's like, how do these kids sound like adults?
01:37:33.000 Because the only thing they've ever been exposed to is adults having these conversations.
01:37:37.000 Now what's happened is 10-year-olds don't learn from the teacher.
01:37:41.000 They hate the teacher and ignore the teacher.
01:37:43.000 They learn from 10-year-olds.
01:37:44.000 And so you're basically running, you're taking copies of copies and copying off each other.
01:37:51.000 Instead of the kids learning from adults, they're just doing random garbled nonsense.
01:37:55.000 And this is the leftist way where they say children are blank slates and they want the kids to decide their own names for themselves and to figure out what gender they really are instead of being told that they are a thing with a definitive form and a name.
01:38:08.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:38:09.000 And you can tell the difference, by the way.
01:38:10.000 I mean, at my church, there's the church I used to go to before I moved in the town that I went to college in.
01:38:18.000 There was this really great, like, traditional Latin mass community.
01:38:21.000 And not everyone homeschooled, but some of the parents did.
01:38:24.000 And like, you could just tell their children were so precocious compared to the others.
01:38:29.000 They spoke on a much more adult level with a more advanced vocabulary because they were speaking with their parents and they were actually being educated at their level instead of, as Tim mentioned, being held back by the dumbest kids in the class.
01:38:42.000 Let's just be blunt about it.
01:38:43.000 Like the slowest kid who the teacher has to slow down for.
01:38:47.000 It's absolutely infuriating to me because I was fortunate enough that I had enough, call it arrogance or testosterone to tell everyone around me to shut up and I would do whatever I want.
01:38:59.000 But the kids around me that I see that had potential whose lives are ruined because of the public schooling system, it breaks my heart.
01:39:06.000 And the kids I knew who are dead because of the public school system from gangs, from violence, and from drug use.
01:39:14.000 It should never have been that way, and it wouldn't have been that way if we had a proper functioning society.
01:39:19.000 But we've industrialized and we've communismized.
01:39:22.000 Not completely, but this is absolutely insane that parents are like, I have no choice.
01:39:28.000 We both have to work.
01:39:29.000 Well, I can't tell you what's possible.
01:39:31.000 I can't tell you what you have to do, what you can do.
01:39:34.000 What I would suggest, and what I try to do is strive to homestead.
01:39:39.000 Do your best.
01:39:40.000 Our plan for our daughter is going to be homeschool pods.
01:39:44.000 We're fortunate that basically everybody in our community is having babies.
01:39:48.000 So I think, let me just do something like one, two, three, four, five, six.
01:39:53.000 There's like six babies in the past several months.
01:39:56.000 It's fantastic.
01:39:57.000 Yeah.
01:39:58.000 This means that they're going to grow up with each other.
01:40:01.000 They're going to learn from us, but we are going to, there's a couple, there's a couple ways that I think it could and should be done.
01:40:07.000 One of the ideas that I had was every parent takes a turn, you know, one day of the week being the teacher for the kids.
01:40:14.000 Or the easy route for everybody is you hire a teacher.
01:40:18.000 However, considering we are all somewhat like moderate to very traditional in our community, you've got a lot of the moms who intend to be full-time moms.
01:40:28.000 So I'm actually fairly confident that with this big network we have, the moms are going to be very, they're going to be very possible they will be the teachers in the early years for our kids, which will allow us to do that.
01:40:40.000 That'd be great.
01:40:41.000 I mean, look, there's, I think, five and a half, maybe six million students in California.
01:40:49.000 And I think there's 7,000 high schools, 10,000 elementary and middle schools.
01:40:56.000 So you've got a large group of people that are the future.
01:41:02.000 And we need to do everything we can to make the school system work because there's no easy fix.
01:41:08.000 And I think the iPhone thing or the telephones out of the schools is a very good start.
01:41:13.000 And also, and also not most teachers, when they enter into the teaching business, it's because they really want to do it.
01:41:20.000 And imagine what it's like.
01:41:21.000 I don't believe that for a second.
01:41:22.000 Oh, there's lots of great teachers.
01:41:24.000 I'm sure there are, but my experience with the industry and with people who have been teachers is that, so the friends of mine who got into teaching were like, I was surprised to find how many people hate this job and never wanted it.
01:41:36.000 And the reason they took it was because they got a degree and couldn't find anything else.
01:41:39.000 So they decided to get into teaching.
01:41:41.000 Well, that's probably true.
01:41:43.000 I wouldn't say that's the majority, though.
01:41:45.000 And I would say that especially young kids.
01:41:48.000 And this is more anecdotal and personal, but there was probably one teacher that I've had in my life that I thought was actually a good teacher.
01:41:58.000 And the rest were abusive to some capacity.
01:42:00.000 From negligent to abusive is the experience I've had in the Chicago public school system.
01:42:04.000 It's terrible.
01:42:05.000 And it's worse than that because we've got stories out of Chicago where there was one like six-year-old kid who they locked in a padded room because he was having a temper tantrum and then they wouldn't let him out and left him there.
01:42:15.000 So he defecated all over himself.
01:42:16.000 That's Chicago public schools.
01:42:18.000 So I can't speak to California, but my experience, a lot of people is the school systems are all broken.
01:42:25.000 I just say, look, there's going to be a lot of people who can't or don't care or whatever the issue is.
01:42:32.000 But my.
01:42:35.000 The parents?
01:42:35.000 The kids.
01:42:36.000 Of course they are, which means the parents need to do everything in their power to give their kids the best opportunity imaginable.
01:42:41.000 And it is surprising to me how many parents refuse to.
01:42:45.000 I can't believe how many parents are like, I know full well that the state will take my child from me and sterilize them.
01:42:52.000 I'm going to send them into the school anyway.
01:42:54.000 How many people we've interviewed in the show who are like, you know, I know full well that the high school in my area is showing kids pictures of dildos and teaching them about anal and things like this.
01:43:03.000 I'm going to send them there anyway.
01:43:04.000 Oh, it's terrible.
01:43:05.000 And I'm like, why?
01:43:06.000 Why are you doing that?
01:43:06.000 I don't understand.
01:43:07.000 But we do have to go to super chats.
01:43:09.000 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone.
01:43:11.000 You know, we're going to get yo Rumble Rants and Super Chats.

01:43:22.000 So when you click that Mary's Ghost blend and you want to buy it, and I actually don't know how you subscribe to it, but if you subscribe, meaning you'll get it on a monthly basis, I think that's how it works.
01:43:32.000 You'll get the 20% off forever.
01:43:34.000 But we did this because we want you guys to stock up on Cast Brew Coffee just in time for the holidays.
01:43:39.000 Because how awesome would it be when all of your family comes and you're all ready to debate and you're sitting there just getting excited to talk politics?
01:43:46.000 But before you do, you brew a nice hot cup of Appalachian Knights.

01:43:52.000 Mallow Baby says, the counties, U.S., account for 70% of federal revenue.
01:43:58.000 How is there no money to pay anything?
01:43:59.000 Because it's BS.
01:44:02.000 Black Nexus says Snap is no different than UBI at this point, and I'm against it.

01:44:11.000 Agreed.
01:44:14.000 What do we have here?
01:44:15.000 Yaqui India.
01:44:17.000 If people want to live under socialism, then give them socialism.
01:44:20.000 Make EBT snap stores where purchases can be controlled.
01:44:23.000 Here's an idea.
01:44:24.000 You can choose to opt in.
01:44:26.000 How about this?
01:44:27.000 If you ever want to receive benefits, you opt into a system where you can never profit again.
01:44:35.000 Let me clarify.
01:44:36.000 You will never be allowed to profit until you pay back what was put in the system.
01:44:39.000 So here's how it would work.
01:44:41.000 You fall in hard times and you go, I have no choice.
01:44:44.000 I need welfare.
01:44:45.000 And they say, right this way.
01:44:47.000 Here's your card.
01:44:48.000 You now can purchase anything you want with it.
01:44:51.000 However, any money you make will be taken from you instantly until it's paid back.
01:44:58.000 So I know people are probably going to argue like we pay taxes into it already.
01:45:04.000 My point is you can never make money.
01:45:08.000 You will be in socialism forever in that system.
01:45:11.000 Oh, and you also can't vote.
01:45:12.000 Well, yeah, that's the thing.
01:45:13.000 I would say.
01:45:13.000 You can't vote while you're receiving benefits.
01:45:15.000 After a certain amount of time on benefits, I would say that a person shouldn't be able to vote.
01:45:19.000 I think if this is someone who's been a net positive taxpayer their whole life, and so they weren't able to save a safety net and now they're withdrawing from the system on hard times, I'm fine with that.
01:45:27.000 But after a certain amount of time, I would agree, I think a person shouldn't be able to vote.
01:45:31.000 You can't just take because their incentive is just going to be able to vote for more welfare.
01:45:35.000 It's a difficult one, but there is a terrible problem with it's also the same problem with politicians voting because they're voting for things that keep them working.
01:45:44.000 That's a really interesting.
01:45:46.000 Should you be able to vote for something that's going to benefit you, but not others?
01:45:50.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:45:50.000 Or to take from others to give to yourself.
01:45:53.000 Maybe we need to restrict voting to maybe a smaller group of people, perhaps.
01:45:59.000 How about just an ID to stop?
01:46:02.000 We just start needing an ID.
01:46:04.000 Oh my gosh.
01:46:04.000 It's true.
01:46:05.000 You can't because politicians will only ever vote for policies and their benefit.
01:46:10.000 All right.
01:46:10.000 Flawed legacy says, Tim Crew, do you think it's possible that grocery prices are only high because EBT is technically subsidizing grocery store in the same way colleges increase prices when the government is paying?
01:46:20.000 I would say it's not the only reason that they're high, but it definitely brings a price up.
01:46:24.000 Yep, because it increases demand without increasing supply.
01:46:30.000 More people.
01:46:32.000 So it depends.
01:46:34.000 It's actually kind of difficult.
01:46:36.000 I'd argue this.
01:46:37.000 Theoretically, it might bring prices down because of volume.
01:46:41.000 So like we're working on pool water right now, and we absolutely could sell them for 20 bucks, but if you order them direct, you got to pay for shipping, which is it's water, so it's expensive.
01:46:51.000 We're talking with distributors and we're talking with the manufacturer.
01:46:55.000 And so if we do your standard glass bottle with a twist cap, they shrink wrap it.
01:47:01.000 We can get them to around like 20 bucks, I think.
01:47:04.000 I think it would end up being like 22 with taxes and all that stuff out the door.
01:47:07.000 But we don't, we like, we're not literally trying to just stick it to liquid death by making me cheap product.
01:47:13.000 So I said, no, let's do cardboard boxes.
01:47:15.000 Let's do paper stickers instead of plastic stickers.
01:47:18.000 It's still going to have the cap with the plastic gasket, but we're not pretending we're anti-plastic the same way that liquid death is.
01:47:24.000 So it's probably going to end up being like 25 out the door.
01:47:28.000 If we sold 1 million cases, it would be 15 out the door because then we'd end up making like three cents per case, but the profit we get after cost, like it's way better than we get from selling for 25.
01:47:46.000 So volume matters.
01:47:48.000 Theoretically, if you increase the amount of people buying the product, Coca-Cola can drop the price way down because volume is where they find their profit.
01:47:57.000 But if the purchasing pool shrinks, they're going to charge more money.
01:48:01.000 So it's hard to say for sure.
01:48:03.000 All right, Miss for Missy says, ooh, nice spooky intro.
01:48:06.000 Mwahaha, my spooky fine of Timcast and their Discord is complete.
01:48:10.000 Spooky leader Missa.
01:48:13.000 Well, okay.
01:48:14.000 Shane Juano says, I saw a news interview where a black woman was complaining about losing snap.
01:48:19.000 She said that this is the government trying to hurt black women who can't get jobs.
01:48:23.000 She added she doesn't want to work.
01:48:25.000 This is Schrödinger's welfare.
01:48:27.000 It's either something that white people disproportionately benefit from because when people don't understand per capita, that's what they say.
01:48:32.000 Oh, most the largest group receiving these welfare benefits are white.
01:48:35.000 But then when you go to cut those benefits, they go, oh, this is targeting black people.
01:48:39.000 You can't have it both ways.
01:48:42.000 Yeah, you're right.
01:48:42.000 You can, actually.
01:48:43.000 No, I stand corrected.
01:48:45.000 You can have it.
01:48:45.000 You can have it that way.
01:48:47.000 You can just lie.
01:48:47.000 Yeah.
01:48:50.000 Indeed.
01:48:50.000 Let's grab some more.
01:48:52.000 TVPG says, attention, Walmart shoppers.
01:48:55.000 We'll be closed November 3rd from 6.30 to 7.30.
01:48:57.000 Sorry for any inconvenience.
01:48:59.000 Well, there you go.
01:49:02.000 Van Roy says, Mary, you probably shouldn't get a golden retriever.
01:49:06.000 Those fur missiles would turn your black clothes into fursuits.
01:49:10.000 I wasn't considering it, but thanks for being right.
01:49:16.000 All right.
01:49:18.000 Rivka, the jade gamer, says, Tim, in 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled in Ramos VLA that state-level juries must be unanimous on every element of the crime.
01:49:27.000 The concealed crime is an element of Trump's conviction, indeed, and agreed.
01:49:31.000 That's why it's appealed.
01:49:32.000 Now, I'm going to let you guys in on a secret.
01:49:34.000 Do you know why the appellate court, which heard the case a year ago, hasn't ruled on it?
01:49:39.000 No, why?
01:49:40.000 Because they are in a Democrat jurisdiction.
01:49:42.000 And if they come out right now and say Trump wins, they'll get lynched.
01:49:47.000 But Trump is the president.
01:49:48.000 And if they come out against Trump, Trump will come for them.
01:49:52.000 So they're saying, let's do nothing because we don't want to be in the middle of this fight.
01:49:56.000 But Trump was unjustly and wrongly convicted.
01:49:59.000 And if we don't win the culture war, then you'll be in a gulag.
01:50:04.000 And that's why you got to support twisted plots because we can't make culture war without culture.
01:50:09.000 Okay, let's see what we got here.
01:50:13.000 Fork name change says, just want to say, much like gun laws don't prevent gun crimes, laws against vigilantes don't prevent vigilantes, faith in the court's outcome does.
01:50:22.000 What happens when that faith falters?
01:50:25.000 Skyline says, easy to repeal the 19th, toss out the ballots from women, put the ballot box on the top of a poll requiring a pull-up to get up there.
01:50:34.000 That's a good idea.
01:50:37.000 It's a possibility.
01:50:39.000 All right.
01:50:40.000 Effed Button says, she's right.
01:50:41.000 The majority of mayors will work for what they think is safer for the kids and people.
01:50:45.000 But through their double speak, she has forgotten what safer or good means to these psychopaths.
01:50:50.000 Interesting.
01:50:54.000 Let's see.
01:50:55.000 I don't know if I want to read it.
01:50:55.000 This one's brutal.
01:50:56.000 Skyline says, California people deserve their homes be burned down.
01:50:59.000 All the choices they made from environments, politicians, taxes led to this, not a cause of nature like hurricanes.
01:51:07.000 I mean, all of the people who you think learned a lesson from it didn't.
01:51:12.000 So, I mean, the Pacific Palisades is, you know, blue check, you know, Democrat ground zero.
01:51:18.000 So it's definitely, you know, a very big Democratic community.
01:51:23.000 When reality slaps them in the face, they don't learn a lesson from it.
01:51:26.000 They don't get humbled by it.
01:51:28.000 They just blame it on climate change.
01:51:30.000 Well, you know, climate change does it all.
01:51:32.000 I once saw climate change rob a bank.
01:51:35.000 I've seen climate change.
01:51:36.000 Wow.
01:51:37.000 He stole our word we use for the number 20.
01:51:42.000 And I chased him for miles to get it back, but he got away.
01:51:45.000 I'm sorry that that happened to you.
01:51:47.000 Jameis is supposed to get the reference, but he doesn't.
01:51:49.000 Is that something Abe Simpson said?
01:51:50.000 It is.
01:51:53.000 Was that something Abe Simpson said?
01:51:55.000 Back when The Simpsons were funny and not weirdly woke, and Abe Simpson is now gay.
01:51:59.000 That's true.
01:51:59.000 That did happen.
01:52:00.000 Did you know that Grandpa Simpson and The Simpsons is gay?
01:52:02.000 No, but I think that I always thought he was gay.
01:52:05.000 Abe?
01:52:06.000 He has what?
01:52:08.000 Grandpa Simpson has kids.
01:52:09.000 And he tried dating Marge's mom.
01:52:13.000 That did happen.
01:52:13.000 That's right.
01:52:14.000 Ms. Bouvier.
01:52:14.000 Yeah.
01:52:16.000 And then Homer was like, we're going to be brother and sister.
01:52:19.000 And our kids will grow an extra finger in the turn pink.
01:52:19.000 That's right.
01:52:22.000 Yeah.
01:52:22.000 And then it shows the kids' name.
01:52:24.000 Oh, right, right, right.
01:52:25.000 Children look like classic.
01:52:30.000 Classic.
01:52:30.000 Yeah, those were the days.
01:52:31.000 Those were the days, man.
01:52:33.000 If you want other good cartoons, twistedplots.com, support the show.
01:52:33.000 All right.
01:52:37.000 The SIGP says: Tim Kestine, the ads on Spotify uploads are still significantly louder than the program.
01:52:42.000 Hilarious EBT Onyk News segment today.
01:52:45.000 By the way, Five Pack of Chili put them up.
01:52:48.000 They did he made me LOL.
01:52:50.000 Yeah, that was one of the EBT from TikTok.
01:52:53.000 Like, there's EBT of TikTok, and it's like listening to Boomhauer.
01:52:53.000 So gross.
01:52:59.000 You know who Boomhauer is from King of the Hill?
01:53:01.000 I'm on a dang old man Fu Sam.
01:53:01.000 Yeah.
01:53:03.000 Bro, a Fuzzy name is like a black woman.
01:53:04.000 She's like, I'll tell you what, I'm going to go next door.
01:53:06.000 I don't take that.
01:53:06.000 How can Chili?
01:53:07.000 I'm putting out dentity.
01:53:08.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:53:09.000 And I was like, no, I have no idea what that was.
01:53:12.000 I don't know.
01:53:13.000 Only the part where you grunted, do you know what I'm saying?
01:53:18.000 Nam Sane.
01:53:19.000 Nam Sane is what you say.
01:53:22.000 All right, what do we got here?
01:53:23.000 10 buck stew says, if you think about it, half of your paycheck gets taken to support a bunch of pets you didn't even know you had.
01:53:29.000 Those pets are also actively conspiring and voting against your interests.
01:53:32.000 We can't keep doing this.
01:53:34.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:53:34.000 Shut it down.
01:53:35.000 I don't care.
01:53:36.000 Everybody's like, we have to wean.
01:53:37.000 Nope.
01:53:38.000 Bro, if I was president, I'd be the craziest MFer like ever in government.
01:53:38.000 Off.
01:53:43.000 I would just be doing things.
01:53:45.000 I'd be alive.
01:53:46.000 Try me.
01:53:48.000 Ain't no way I'd turn Snap back on.
01:53:50.000 I think that's what we've got.
01:53:51.000 I would be off.
01:53:52.000 Our president do things right now.
01:53:54.000 To a great degree.
01:53:55.000 To a great degree.
01:53:57.000 I think it's probably true.
01:53:58.000 And I think the reality is we're learning that the president alone can't do it.
01:54:01.000 You need a good staff.
01:54:02.000 I think he learned that the hard way.
01:54:04.000 And so now he's got some good people around him.
01:54:05.000 I hope, I hope, I hope come November 1st, Snap is off.
01:54:10.000 Just off.
01:54:13.000 We got to get off the addiction.
01:54:14.000 We got to get off the drug, the welfare drug.
01:54:16.000 Okay.
01:54:17.000 Like, you know what people should be doing?
01:54:20.000 They should be farming.
01:54:21.000 They should have a homestead.
01:54:23.000 We should spread out from the cities to the best degree that we can.
01:54:26.000 And people should grow food in their backyard and take care of themselves.
01:54:30.000 Everybody.
01:54:31.000 Even Seamus.
01:54:32.000 I don't want to.
01:54:33.000 How many chickens do you have, Seamus?
01:54:34.000 I actually did have some chickens.
01:54:36.000 Did?
01:54:37.000 I did.
01:54:37.000 Yeah.
01:54:37.000 Did you eat them?
01:54:38.000 I told you, you know, I moved.
01:54:41.000 Did you eat the chickens?
01:54:41.000 I moved.
01:54:43.000 I ate one of them.
01:54:44.000 Okay.
01:54:45.000 Good.
01:54:45.000 Good.
01:54:46.000 Good job.
01:54:46.000 Delicious.
01:54:47.000 It was delicious.
01:54:47.000 They are delicious.
01:54:48.000 We had rooster because we breed the chickens.
01:54:52.000 So we ended up with, I think, like 16 roosters.
01:54:55.000 Oh, yeah, it happened.
01:54:56.000 Yeah.
01:54:56.000 And so we were like, let's eat them.
01:54:58.000 And my wife made a rooster chili that everyone loved so much, it just was gone in like three minutes.
01:55:06.000 So, did you plug it and kill it and do it?
01:55:08.000 No, no, no, no.
01:55:09.000 You had it done.
01:55:10.000 We had a we have, I think what we did was our chicken tender Kim took care of it for us.
01:55:16.000 We have someone who works here who handles that stuff.
01:55:19.000 I'd do it myself if I wasn't doing all the work for this stuff.
01:55:23.000 I absolutely would just absolutely.
01:55:24.000 You put them in that little funnel thing where you stick their heads through it and you chop their head off, and then all the blood drains out and it stinks and you got to cut them up.
01:55:31.000 Yeah, that sounds funny.
01:55:32.000 We've done a lot of chicken practicing things at the ranch, and one of the things is what I think is really strange is that the eat chickens, the chickens you eat, they only live 52 days.
01:55:41.000 And if you wait too long, they actually disintegrate.
01:55:44.000 It's crazy.
01:55:44.000 Whoa, really?
01:55:45.000 Oh, yeah.
01:55:45.000 Disintegrate.
01:55:46.000 They eat turkeys too, by the way.
01:55:47.000 Wait, you mean like they're alive and they start to start cracking?
01:55:49.000 The dish don't, yeah, they don't hold, they die.
01:55:50.000 The turkeys actually got holes in them because I didn't want to kill them.
01:55:53.000 What kind of chickens you got?
01:55:54.000 Swear to God.
01:55:55.000 We have chickens that have been alive for five, six years already.
01:55:58.000 No, no, no.
01:55:58.000 So do I.
01:55:59.000 I have those too.
01:56:00.000 But the specific group of chickens that you buy, which are supposed to say super tender.
01:56:04.000 Broilers?
01:56:04.000 You're talking about those like GMO chickens that like have – They can't walk?
01:56:07.000 They're like little – you hatch – you get them – they're already hatched.
01:56:09.000 You order them hatched and then you raise them in a – we have these like mobile things that move around.
01:56:14.000 And yeah, you have to – if you don't kill them on the day you're supposed to, they get – they're not edible.
01:56:18.000 I know that they get tough when they get old.
01:56:21.000 Well, they get tough if they walk too.
01:56:23.000 They walk?
01:56:23.000 Yeah, if they walk.
01:56:24.000 If they're really, truly free-range, they're much tougher.
01:56:26.000 Oh, right, because the muscles move, you know?
01:56:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:56:28.000 Well, I think you got to eat them the way nature is intended.
01:56:31.000 So we had like 13 – we had 16 roosters.
01:56:33.000 We killed 13 of them and I got to be honest, just like rooster drumstick didn't do it for me.
01:56:39.000 It's not the same.
01:56:39.000 Right, right.
01:56:40.000 You know, it was tougher.
01:56:41.000 It tasted different.
01:56:42.000 But when cooked properly in the chili, everybody immediately like – when they tried the baked rooster, they were like, it's OK.
01:56:50.000 The chili though, it was gone in like three minutes.
01:56:53.000 Everybody filled up on it.
01:56:55.000 It was fantastic.
01:56:55.000 We do these organic turkeys from the sky up in Fallbrook every year and they're super skinny.
01:57:01.000 And I mean they just don't look like proper turkeys.
01:57:03.000 We cook them in underground for like 16 hours in these big ovens.
01:57:05.000 But they're so tough.
01:57:07.000 We got tons of wild turkey out here.
01:57:09.000 Do you?
01:57:10.000 You know what I love about them city folk?
01:57:10.000 Yeah.
01:57:12.000 First of all, I'm not going to pretend to be a country because I'm from Chicago.
01:57:14.000 But at least I understand that turkeys fly.
01:57:17.000 And it's funny when people who like have never been out in the middle of nowhere come and see a flock of flying turkeys go by and they go, what are those?
01:57:24.000 Turkeys?
01:57:25.000 What?
01:57:27.000 Turkeys fly and they sleep in trees.
01:57:29.000 No, I remember when I was a little kid and I learned that turkeys could fly.
01:57:32.000 I was like, wait, in the wild they fly?
01:57:32.000 It blew my mind.
01:57:34.000 Well, I have swans and they fly and mine won't fly.
01:57:34.000 Yeah.
01:57:38.000 Well, I mean do you run everywhere?
01:57:39.000 Do you run everywhere?
01:57:40.000 It's not well motivated.
01:57:40.000 They don't go anywhere.
01:57:41.000 They don't want to leave the pond.
01:57:43.000 Do you run everywhere?
01:57:43.000 I mean, you know, just because I can, I don't, you know, we could we could run, too.
01:57:47.000 But I don't think they know they can fly.
01:57:49.000 The other thing, too, is people don't know what turkeys look like.
01:57:51.000 It's so sad.
01:57:53.000 Everybody's used to the picture of the turkey when the male turkey is puffing up and threatening you.
01:57:56.000 Yeah.
01:57:57.000 So when people see the wild turkeys and they're actually thin and small, they ask like, what is that?
01:58:02.000 And I'm like, that's a bunch of turkeys.
01:58:04.000 It's Thanksgiving dinner.
01:58:05.000 And then they're like, but I thought turkeys look like walk up to the guy and see what he does.
01:58:05.000 Yeah.
01:58:09.000 And then he, you know, and then he looks all funny.
01:58:12.000 And he mogs you.
01:58:13.000 That's what he does.
01:58:14.000 That's literally it.
01:58:15.000 They put their arms out and their tail gets all wide and they go, that's alpha male behavior.
01:58:19.000 Exactly.
01:58:19.000 100%.
01:58:20.000 I respect it.
01:58:21.000 They're like, get away from my girl.
01:58:23.000 What you thought?
01:58:24.000 All right, what have got here?
01:58:25.000 Eight ball jackets says, in New York, Snap can be used to purchase hot food at participating Popeyes and McDonald's.
01:58:30.000 No.
01:58:31.000 And even all-you can-eat Chinese buffet.
01:58:33.000 That's search New York restaurant meals program.
01:58:33.000 What?
01:58:36.000 Feds need to invade New York to establish the constitution and common sense.
01:58:41.000 I wouldn't be surprised.
01:58:42.000 That's crazy.
01:58:43.000 You could buy candy bars.
01:58:44.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:58:45.000 It's not for good fresh food anymore.
01:58:47.000 It's not a nutritional diet.
01:58:49.000 They should, welfare should be a bag of flour and some powdered milk.
01:58:56.000 Welfare should be: we give you a bullet and tell you where the turkeys are.
01:58:56.000 That's it.
01:59:00.000 No, those are my turkeys.
01:59:01.000 Go get your own.
01:59:03.000 Or, I mean, you know, honestly, welfare could be, wait, here's the idea.
01:59:07.000 If you need to go on welfare, then what we do is you opt into the welfare program where you get on a bus with your family, and there are these big 40-foot walls with razor wire on top and this gigantic Jurassic Park style gate that opens up.
01:59:22.000 They drive you in and drop you off and say the welfare program is, you know, 15,000 acres of open land.
01:59:30.000 Good luck.
01:59:31.000 That's it.
01:59:32.000 And then they close the door behind you.
01:59:34.000 That's just, there you go.
01:59:37.000 And, you know, good luck.
01:59:39.000 I do think that the pantries are great.
01:59:41.000 You know, the pantry idea is great where you can get a meal cooked and it's better managed.
01:59:47.000 But I think there should just be no welfare at all.
01:59:50.000 Well, she's talking about food pantry, though.
01:59:52.000 No, I'm saying it should all be private.
01:59:54.000 And to be fair, if there's a food pantry that's private, that's fine.
01:59:56.000 I think society worked way better when our charity came from churches.
02:00:01.000 It was small, localized communities.
02:00:04.000 And I'm not saying this in a religious sense.
02:00:05.000 I'm saying when you fell on hard times and you were a good person, the community would do what they could to help you out.
02:00:12.000 Insurance originated from: if my house burns down, I'll help you rebuild yours.
02:00:18.000 And everyone was like, you got to do it.
02:00:19.000 So then when an accident happened, everyone's like, we have to do it.
02:00:22.000 Now it's just like, don't know you.
02:00:26.000 That's not my purse.
02:00:27.000 I mean, it might be.
02:00:29.000 Come on, King of the Hill.
02:00:30.000 You still think you asked me?
02:00:31.000 No, that's my purse.
02:00:33.000 That's my purse.
02:00:34.000 I don't know you.
02:00:35.000 There's like, I don't know you.
02:00:36.000 That's my purse.
02:00:36.000 Is that what he said?
02:00:37.000 That's my purse.
02:00:38.000 I don't know you.
02:00:38.000 Yeah, and then he kicked you in the balls.
02:00:39.000 Classic.
02:00:40.000 Anyway, sorry, you were saying something.
02:00:41.000 I was saying maybe with Amazon laying off all those people, they could open up a bunch of food pantries and stock them and feed people since they're saving so much money in payroll.
02:00:48.000 Wow.
02:00:49.000 Yeah.
02:00:51.000 All the things they don't want to do.
02:00:53.000 All right.
02:00:53.000 Invader J says, Seamus, I'm getting baptized this Sunday.
02:00:56.000 Just had my class tonight.
02:00:57.000 It's been a long, hard road to get to this point.
02:00:59.000 Deus Wolt.
02:01:01.000 God bless you.
02:01:03.000 I will pray for you.
02:01:04.000 Thank you, man.
02:01:05.000 Thank you for saying that.
02:01:06.000 That's beautiful.
02:01:07.000 My favorite Freedom Tunes ending is when Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Seamus are with the Pope, and then Seamus puts on the helmet.
02:01:14.000 Is that what it is?
02:01:15.000 I think, or maybe Walsh does, but yeah, we take the Holy Land.
02:01:15.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:01:18.000 Or Noel, was it Knolls?
02:01:20.000 Yeah, you take the Holy Land belongs to the Holy Spirit.
02:01:22.000 It's a long cartoon where it was like Candace and Shapiro dating or debating.
02:01:26.000 Sorry.
02:01:26.000 Whoa.
02:01:27.000 Whoa.
02:01:29.000 Whoa, what happened there?
02:01:30.000 What kind of fan fiction are you?
02:01:33.000 Don't look at the unused Freedom Tunes script archive, all the fan fix I'm writing.
02:01:38.000 No, that was crazy.
02:01:41.000 We had them debate on like the whatever podcast or something.
02:01:43.000 We must have done this video like three years ago.
02:01:46.000 And yeah, then in the end, it was like, this is what should really happen in the whole world.
02:01:49.000 And then like the screen blinks really quick.
02:01:51.000 The Holy Land belongs to Rome.
02:01:52.000 No, I didn't do that.
02:01:53.000 And then it's Michael Knowles, Seamus, and Matt Walsh wearing Templar armor.
02:01:58.000 Oh, my God.
02:01:59.000 And then you say something like, Yes, my eminence, or something like that, or your eminence.
02:02:03.000 Dude, this crazy thing is that, like, after over 600 videos, I can't even remember the exact dialogue there.
02:02:08.000 Yeah.
02:02:09.000 Yeah, it's too much.
02:02:10.000 We should pull that up.
02:02:11.000 Yeah, we will.
02:02:11.000 That'd be funny.
02:02:12.000 All right, we'll grab one more.
02:02:15.000 Let's see what we got here.
02:02:17.000 Eclipse, Ekilps.
02:02:19.000 What did that say?
02:02:20.000 Ecky Lips?
02:02:21.000 I don't know.
02:02:22.000 Tim, you're selling water.
02:02:23.000 Pretty sure it comes from the ground, and it's supposed to, it's supposed to be.
02:02:27.000 Pickle your old chickens.
02:02:29.000 Eastern Europeans know what's up.
02:02:31.000 Is that what you do?
02:02:32.000 You pickle them?
02:02:33.000 Well, we don't eat the chickens.
02:02:35.000 We just eat the eggs.
02:02:36.000 And they're fantastic.
02:02:38.000 When the egg shortages were happening, ain't nobody working here, had a problem.
02:02:41.000 We actually have a perk of when you come by here, you work here, you get free eggs.
02:02:46.000 And Libby, she comes on periodically and she always grabs a carton of eggs on her way out because that's what they're for.
02:02:52.000 Free eggs.
02:02:53.000 Oh, they're so good for you, too.
02:02:54.000 If they're organic, they're so good for you.
02:02:56.000 That's right from the chickens.
02:02:57.000 But I remember my first time having like an actual farm fresh egg blew my mind.
02:03:01.000 I was like, wait, the yoga.
02:03:02.000 It's not supposed to be light yellow.
02:03:05.000 I mean, it's not going to lie.
02:03:07.000 They don't taste different.
02:03:09.000 I know, but they love it.
02:03:10.000 I can taste the love that comes from them.
02:03:13.000 It's just, it's not.
02:03:14.000 Ours definitely tastes like richer, I think.
02:03:17.000 And when you scramble them, they're really dark yellow.
02:03:19.000 I love them.
02:03:20.000 Yeah.
02:03:21.000 So the store-bought ones, typically you'll have like a standard yellow.
02:03:25.000 And that could be true for depending on the kind of chicken you have.
02:03:27.000 Some of the chickens we have have like a dark orange.
02:03:30.000 It's got more iron or B vitamins, I think, in it.
02:03:32.000 We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL.

02:04:15.000 My name is Seamus Coglin.
02:04:16.000 I'm the creator of Freedom Tunes.
02:04:17.000 The technological infrastructure we have for delivering stories is a miracle.
02:04:22.000 Unfortunately, it is dominated by people who hate you and hate your way of life, and they've been slowly chipping away at your culture through propaganda.
02:04:29.000 That's why myself and my team, after making over 600 animated videos and getting hundreds of millions of views with $0 spent on marketing, have decided we are going to make a full-length show.
02:04:40.000 We need your help in order to get it fully funded.
02:04:43.000 Go over to twistedplots.com, pledge $25.
02:04:46.000 You'll get to watch our full-length, 25-minute-long pilot episode.
02:04:50.000 You will be helping us create the future of entertainment, which is right-wing and which is grassroots, because we cannot win the culture war unless we are making culture.
02:04:59.000 Go to twistedplots.com and support us.
02:05:02.000 We will see you all over at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.
02:05:07.000 Thanks for hanging out.
02:05:58.000 All right.
02:05:58.000 We got to play this clip from old Shamus.
02:06:01.000 Let's hit it.
02:06:02.000 Classic Freedom Toons.
02:06:04.000 Erase a little bit.
02:06:05.000 Or go, I'm sorry, erase.
02:06:07.000 Yeah, like back here.
02:06:09.000 Rabbi Shmoly was in it, too.
02:06:09.000 Oh, that's right.
02:06:11.000 Yeah, can't and yay.
02:06:12.000 Blacklife, the black life, the black life.
02:06:14.000 The dark-faced pony shoulders are distracted, your holiness.
02:06:17.000 The Israel-Palestine conflict has them completely consumed.
02:06:22.000 Excellent.
02:06:23.000 And our political commentators have been sneaking the subliminal messaging into their work.
02:06:27.000 Yes, Your Holiness.
02:06:29.000 It is time to play what is ours.
02:06:36.000 Our political commentators have been sneaking their subliminal messages into their content.
02:06:42.000 Yes, Your Holiness.
02:06:43.000 And then there was no there was no subliminal message there.
02:06:48.000 I don't know what you guys are talking about.
02:06:49.000 I have no clue.
02:06:51.000 I have zero idea.
02:06:53.000 How did that get there?
02:06:55.000 How did that get there?
02:06:56.000 In five frames, the Holy Land belongs to Rome.
02:07:00.000 I don't know what you guys are talking about.
02:07:01.000 I don't know how that got in there.
02:07:02.000 I would never do that.
02:07:03.000 You know me.
02:07:04.000 I love the Matt Walsh and Michael's halls.
02:07:09.000 So good.
02:07:10.000 This is a fun one.
02:07:11.000 Did something else happen?
02:07:12.000 Oh, yeah.
02:07:13.000 This story was pretty crazy.
02:07:15.000 We can ramble on this one.
02:07:16.000 They scrambled military jets over DCA, and nobody knows why.
02:07:21.000 Oh, boy.
02:07:21.000 Yeah, they ain't telling us.
02:07:22.000 I saw something, though, right?
02:07:23.000 There was apparently an aircraft on radar and then disappeared, and they scrambled military, and it's gone.
02:07:28.000 I'm going to go with aliens.
02:07:30.000 Yeah, they said google, google, google, google.
02:07:31.000 I'm going to go with ghosts.
02:07:32.000 It's Halloween.
02:07:33.000 You're going to go with Google, Google, Google, Google, Ghost.
02:07:34.000 It was ghosts.
02:07:35.000 Do you think it was aliens?
02:07:35.000 It's literally Halloween.
02:07:37.000 A vampire.
02:07:38.000 I think it's great we can believe in aliens now publicly.
02:07:42.000 Do you?
02:07:43.000 Of course.
02:07:44.000 Why is that?
02:07:44.000 Really?
02:07:45.000 I don't know.
02:07:45.000 Of course.
02:07:46.000 I mean, how have you seen something?
02:07:47.000 Do you think we're the first?
02:07:49.000 No, aliens are just demons.
02:07:50.000 I don't know if we're the first, but we're the best baby.
02:07:52.000 If aliens want to come try, they can.
02:07:54.000 I don't know.
02:07:54.000 What's the thing?
02:07:55.000 What's that thing that they that's outside of Mars too that they think it's blowing off the Atlas?
02:08:00.000 Three-eye Atlas.
02:08:01.000 Yeah, what is it?
02:08:02.000 Aliens.
02:08:03.000 Yeah, it proves it.
02:08:04.000 I'm confused.
02:08:05.000 There's a comet.
02:08:06.000 There's an object that's behaving erratically that is probably just a rock, but all these people are conspiracy theories.
02:08:14.000 It looks like a rock, for sure.
02:08:15.000 Yeah, it's an object that moved in a strange way called Three Eye Atlas.
02:08:18.000 It looks like a rock.
02:08:19.000 And they're saying it's aliens.
02:08:22.000 You ever see in Family Guy, the episode where the rapture happens, Seamus?
02:08:26.000 You ever watch that show?
02:08:27.000 I remember there was a Simpsons episode where the rapture happened.
02:08:29.000 I didn't know there was a show.
02:08:29.000 In Family Guy, Jesus returns and they rapture people.
02:08:33.000 And then Roger the Alien.
02:08:36.000 That's American Dad.
02:08:37.000 I'm sorry, I'm American Dad, right?
02:08:39.000 Roger the Alien is like, he's not going to get raptured because he's an alien.
02:08:43.000 And so he gets left behind on Earth.
02:08:44.000 And then when he meets Jesus, Jesus goes, Oh, one of my dad's side projects.
02:08:50.000 That's, you know.
02:08:51.000 Or they're just demons, but.
02:08:52.000 Or they're just, I think they're demons.
02:08:54.000 I think they're demons.
02:08:54.000 They're totally demons.
02:08:55.000 That's where I'm at with it.
02:08:56.000 But I don't know.
02:08:57.000 I have no idea what they are.
02:08:59.000 I don't even know if there is a thing where they are.
02:09:01.000 Hold on, hold on, hold on.
02:09:01.000 This is a big psyop.
02:09:02.000 Okay, let me ask you, what is a demon?
02:09:05.000 A fallen angel.
02:09:06.000 A fallen angel.
02:09:06.000 Okay, so, and what is an angel?
02:09:08.000 An angel is a spiritual being.
02:09:11.000 Tell me more.
02:09:12.000 So, you know where you're going?
02:09:14.000 Are you going with immaterial?
02:09:16.000 Yeah, so they don't have physical bodies like us.
02:09:20.000 They can appear to us as physical forms.
02:09:22.000 And they came before us?
02:09:24.000 Yeah.
02:09:24.000 Yeah, they exist.
02:09:25.000 So there's some kind of entity that came before us, and there are some of them that fell and they're bad and they want to do bad things to us.
02:09:33.000 Yes.
02:09:34.000 Aliens.
02:09:36.000 Well, no, because alien implies that it's physical and also occupies physicality.
02:09:40.000 No, no.
02:09:41.000 What I'm saying is.
02:09:41.000 No.
02:09:42.000 I guess it is like in the strict sense, extraterrestrial, because it's not of the world.
02:09:47.000 And one thing alien, the word, I mean, is not, I don't think of it like the alien in the movie.
02:09:51.000 I think of it as more like an energy or a force that's, you know, unknown to us.
02:09:55.000 Interesting.
02:09:56.000 So you don't think they have material bodies?
02:09:58.000 I don't know.
02:09:59.000 I just don't feel like we're completely alone in the world.
02:10:02.000 I feel very much like there's a spiritual or I mean, for most people, we'll call it a spiritual support system of some sort, but I don't feel alone in the universe.
02:10:13.000 I think that if demons are real, it makes sense that they would want to trick us into thinking that they're something else and cause confusion and discord and conspiracy.
02:10:24.000 They try to claim that life exists because they found evidence of single-celled organisms, but I just remind all them that's just a clump of cells.
02:10:30.000 It's not exactly life doesn't exist.
02:10:33.000 It's a clump of cells, not real.
02:10:34.000 Life exists on a spectrum.
02:10:38.000 I think that nothing is real.
02:10:42.000 Oh.
02:10:43.000 Everything only came into existence three years ago, and your memories are fake, and the Mandela effect proves it.
02:10:50.000 Oh, I think that's a nice.
02:10:51.000 Oh, yeah, the fruit of the loom cornucopia.
02:10:55.000 It proves it's all fake.
02:10:56.000 Yeah, 100%.
02:10:57.000 And Onyx being spelled wrong.
02:11:01.000 You guys hear this one?
02:11:02.000 No, everyone believes that Onyx, the Pokemon, was spelled O-N-Y-X.
02:11:06.000 That's what I thought.
02:11:07.000 And so now they're finding out it's spelled O-N-I-X, and they're like, no way.
02:11:11.000 Yeah, but every time I use Spell Checker, I found out I thought something was spelled differently that's actually spelled.
02:11:16.000 So am I getting Mandela affected a lot?
02:11:20.000 This is crazy because I remember Onyx being spelled O-N-I-X because I had Pokemon right when it first came out as a little kid.
02:11:28.000 And it's because I thought Onyx, the mineral, the rock, was spelled O-N-I-X because of Pokemon.
02:11:35.000 I thought it was always spelled O-N-Y-X.
02:11:38.000 Well, they actually heard it, but not the Pokemon.
02:11:40.000 Yeah, the Pokemon is spelled O-N-I-X.
02:11:42.000 Can I text up my Pokemon X for a friend?
02:11:45.000 And so when I was little, I thought the Onyx rock, because I was probably like nine years old, I was like, oh, Onyx the Rock is spelled O-N-I-X.
02:11:53.000 And then it's like, no, it's O-N-Y-X.
02:11:54.000 And I was like, How do you spell the Pokemon Onyx with an I or with a Y?
02:11:59.000 It's with an I. Have you fallen for a Mandela effect, though?
02:12:04.000 They're all fake.
02:12:04.000 No.
02:12:05.000 People are retarded.
02:12:06.000 You don't remember the cornucopia?
02:12:08.000 No.
02:12:10.000 All right.
02:12:11.000 No.
02:12:12.000 Why you don't?
02:12:12.000 Not even the Nelson Mandela one?
02:12:15.000 I was not old enough for the Nelson Mandela one.
02:12:17.000 And that one's so easily explained.
02:12:18.000 Do you want to easily explain the Nelson Mandela one to you guys?
02:12:21.000 You know what it is, right?
02:12:23.000 Like some people said they thought he died in a riot.
02:12:25.000 He died in prison.
02:12:26.000 Died in prison.
02:12:27.000 It was a big deal that he died in prison, but then all of a sudden we found out that he was alive.
02:12:31.000 How could this possibly be?
02:12:34.000 Can you think of any reason why, in what was it, the early 90s, late 80s, or whatever, why large groups of people would believe something about the news that wasn't correct?
02:12:42.000 They didn't have the internet.
02:12:43.000 Well, that's a very surface way of describing it.
02:12:46.000 Could it be that a fake news report went out to millions of people one morning and then they believed it?
02:12:53.000 And then later on got the internet and was like, oh.
02:12:55.000 I definitely thought that it was Berenstein.
02:13:00.000 I did.
02:13:01.000 I definitely thought it was Berenstein.
02:13:02.000 I thought it was Steen.
02:13:03.000 I didn't think one way or the other, to be honest.
02:13:06.000 You just didn't remember?
02:13:07.000 No, I think if you think it's evidenced in my personality and the kind of content I produce, how I react to news, which is when we have Brian Shapiro on, for instance, he says, he asked me, do you want criminals held accountable?
02:13:23.000 Then why would you support a man who was convicted of 35 felonies?
02:13:23.000 I said, yes.
02:13:26.000 I said, because Trump wasn't actually convicted of 34 felonies.
02:13:29.000 Because he wasn't actually.
02:13:31.000 I don't care about whether you like or don't like Trump.
02:13:34.000 I care about what is and what I can prove is.
02:13:36.000 So when I'm confronted with these Mandela effect things, my reaction isn't to go, my brain doesn't go, it is this.
02:13:43.000 I go, oh, I wonder what it was.
02:13:45.000 And I check, oh, that's what it was.
02:13:46.000 I'm just saying that my memory is of it being Berenstein.
02:13:50.000 I'm not saying it was.
02:13:51.000 I was the only one that remembered it.
02:13:52.000 Remember it that way.
02:13:53.000 See, this is the thing.
02:13:54.000 I didn't think of the Baronstein Bears for decades, and it never entered my mind for 70%.
02:14:03.000 You're a fake fan.
02:14:04.000 And then one day.
02:14:04.000 I thought about it.
02:14:05.000 I thought every day.
02:14:07.000 So I barely remember it.
02:14:09.000 I don't remember a single storybook.
02:14:11.000 And then I see a post online that says it's Baron Stain, not Baronstein.
02:14:15.000 And I went, okay.
02:14:16.000 And then everyone's like, but I swear it was Baron Stein.
02:14:18.000 And I'm like, I don't remember.
02:14:19.000 I was like five years old.
02:14:20.000 And you think they changed it?
02:14:22.000 No, I was joking.
02:14:26.000 I don't remember the meeting.
02:14:27.000 Not that it was changed, but that the timeline shifted and we shifted into the timeline where it was Berenstein.
02:14:27.000 No, they're not.
02:14:33.000 That proves it.
02:14:35.000 I don't know.
02:14:35.000 I'm just saying, I thought about the Berenstein Bears every day.
02:14:39.000 And that just, you're not a big enough fan.
02:14:42.000 Yeah, you're like, I'm going to tell you all.
02:14:43.000 I'm going to name three Baronstein Bears songs.
02:14:46.000 Okay.
02:14:47.000 I can't do it anymore.
02:14:50.000 He's being paid by Big Stain.
02:14:53.000 So the CIA, you know, we have a program where we intentionally go into the archives and change things to screw with people.
02:15:03.000 It started off as a joke and it got really serious and we got embarrassed.
02:15:07.000 And, you know, so you know what I love doing actually as an aside is there'll be like a comment on a post on Instagram about me or something.
02:15:16.000 So there'll be like a post in the news and then someone will mention me and I'll respond with something like, of course I work for the CIA, you moron.
02:15:22.000 Do you think that they would let anyone be rich and famous?
02:15:26.000 Everybody in this space was chosen and trained and is told what to say.
02:15:30.000 And the best part is, I can say this because anyone you tell will never believe it.
02:15:35.000 Well, first of all, how often do you look up stuff and it's gone?
02:15:40.000 Look up stuff and it's gone?
02:15:41.000 Yeah, you saw something and then you go to look, look and it's gone.
02:15:44.000 I would say maybe often.
02:15:47.000 No, I don't think so.
02:15:49.000 So there are a few rare circumstances where I get annoyed because a story becomes hard to find.
02:15:54.000 But I do this all day, every day.
02:15:57.000 And I think what makes this show work so well is I can instantly recall and pull up a story that I read, find that source and bring it up, and they're always there.
02:16:04.000 Now, one of the problems is we did this yesterday, but NPR stealth edited the article.
02:16:09.000 So the article we brought up, which was supposed to be State Sue Trump, turned, or it was supposed to be Trump Says No Emergency Funds for Snap, changed into State Sue Trump.
02:16:18.000 So the source that I'd pulled up had been altered because they stealth edited.
02:16:22.000 The root did that earlier today as well.
02:16:23.000 We pulled up the root article and they changed the title, which I then pointed to the URL, which shows you the original title.
02:16:29.000 I lived in the timeline where Tim Poole was spelled with an E at the end of pool and you never wore a beanie.
02:16:37.000 And the timeline shifted.
02:16:38.000 It did.
02:16:38.000 Go back.
02:16:39.000 I swear I remember that.
02:16:40.000 That's right.
02:16:41.000 And then I wasn't Asian.
02:16:43.000 I was Mexican.
02:16:44.000 So they did.
02:16:45.000 But see, this is the thing.
02:16:46.000 And as Mary Mexican.
02:16:49.000 Mary remembers it because when she got hired, I was like, Mary, we need to have a host for the pop culture.
02:16:59.000 That's exactly how it happened.
02:17:01.000 You got the job to be the host for the pop culture crisis.
02:17:04.000 You guys don't remember?
02:17:05.000 Was that what they were actually looking for?
02:17:07.000 You guys don't remember Tim Cast hosted by Tim Poole with an E?
02:17:11.000 Right.
02:17:12.000 Do you remember that?
02:17:15.000 Remember?
02:17:15.000 The show was very slow.
02:17:17.000 Do you remember when it was Freedom Tunes spelled T-U-N-E-S?
02:17:20.000 Yes.
02:17:20.000 That was, yeah.
02:17:22.000 And it was a bunch of liberals.
02:17:27.000 I remember what it was spelled with a T-R-O-O-N-S, and it was a bunch of liberals.
02:17:32.000 Freedom Troons.
02:17:32.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:17:33.000 That was great.
02:17:34.000 That was a great.
02:17:35.000 All right, let's go to callers.
02:17:36.000 Let's go to callers before we get in trouble.
02:17:38.000 Wrath.
02:17:39.000 Yo, what's going on?
02:17:41.000 Hello, hello.
