00:00:00.000 Welcome to our special weekend show, Sunday Uncensored.
00:00:04.000 Every week we produce four uncensored episodes of the TimCast IRL podcast exclusively at TimCast.com, and we're going to bring you the most important for our weekend show.
00:00:15.000 If you want to check out more segments just like this, become a member at TimCast.com.
00:00:20.000 Now, enjoy the show.
00:00:22.000 We got this silly story from Fox News.
00:00:30.000 Elon Musk, farmers torch, wait, Elon Musk, farmers torch island government, wait, proposal.
00:00:36.000 Okay, very confusing headline.
00:00:37.000 Farmers torch Ireland government proposal to slaughter 200,000 cows to meet EU climate change goals.
00:00:43.000 I don't know why Elon Musk is in that title.
00:00:45.000 But basically, Ireland is reportedly considering a cull of 65,000 cows per year for the next three years because of climate change, sparking fears of a famine.
00:00:57.000 Wasn't it like 170 years ago they had a potato famine?
00:00:59.000 What are they doing?
00:01:00.000 Where is Seamus?
00:01:01.000 He's flying to Ireland to say, guys, please!
00:01:05.000 Rethink your decisions!
00:01:08.000 Also, that headline was, like, horribly... So it's Elon Musk and Ireland together are torching the... Elon Musk and the farmers are torching the Irish government.
00:01:18.000 Yeah, very bad headline.
00:01:19.000 What they're basically saying is that farmers and Elon Musk are concerned and criticizing the plan, and they put Elon Musk in there for click value.
00:01:28.000 Exactly. 0.85
00:01:29.000 But think about how ridiculous it is. 0.95
00:01:30.000 The story is real!
00:01:32.000 You have the farmers who are rising up that, like, they actually have the capacity in Ireland to do something about this, but Elon Musk also tweeted about it, so he gets the lead in the headline.
00:01:42.000 Well, let's just think about how crazy this is.
00:01:43.000 I mean, look, to be fair, we ordered a bunch of food today.
00:01:47.000 Whenever we order food, it does get eaten.
00:01:50.000 We order a lot of food.
00:01:51.000 Everybody eats.
00:01:53.000 We were eating and I was just like, So much food is just thrown away.
00:01:57.000 It's crazy.
00:01:59.000 I was thinking about, we've got coffee and stuff that we have for guests, and we order too much.
00:02:04.000 And so now it's starting to expire.
00:02:05.000 It's like, how do we do that guys?
00:02:06.000 We've got to throw it away.
00:02:06.000 It's no good anymore.
00:02:07.000 Okay, we'll order less next time.
00:02:09.000 That way we only order when we absolutely need it.
00:02:11.000 Most stores don't do that.
00:02:13.000 They just say like, order a thousand just in case and we'll throw out the extra.
00:02:17.000 So they make tons of plastic, tons of food, and just toss in the garbage.
00:02:21.000 I mean, that is a problem.
00:02:23.000 It is.
00:02:23.000 So I'm really not worried about a famine for Ireland.
00:02:25.000 I think people are very heavy if you get my drift.
00:02:29.000 But this is one grain of sand in the greater heap of you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:02:34.000 It is.
00:02:35.000 I mean, I'm a little bit less optimistic just based off of like Holodomor or cultural revolution in China. It's like there are examples 0.98
00:02:45.000 of centrally planned technocratic rulers who think that they are omnipotent and they
00:02:51.000 ultimately mess with the food supply, and then you end up having mass starvation. Now, I'll grant
00:02:55.000 you, I don't think it'll strike us here. The Americans will probably stay fat for a very long
00:02:59.000 time. However, I think when you consider the third world countries, it's like, yeah, I can see starvation
00:03:04.000 in some of these nations that don't have enough food. I think you're wrong about the
00:03:07.000 US.
00:03:07.000 You think we're going to get skinny?
00:03:10.000 I think, yeah, I think we will.
00:03:11.000 I mean, look, inflation is through the roof.
00:03:13.000 The cost of groceries is going way up and they're putting migrants, they may be putting migrants in people's homes. 1.00
00:03:18.000 That's true.
00:03:19.000 So it's like, maybe that's their plan.
00:03:21.000 They're like, we got to get everybody to lose weight.
00:03:23.000 Here's an idea.
00:03:24.000 Put twice as many people in their house and make the food cost twice as more and they'll drop their weight by 75%.
00:03:29.000 They don't want them to have kids, because that would be bad for them. 1.00
00:03:32.000 They need to bring in people from outside to be there.
00:03:35.000 The problem has been that instead of replacing, because of inflation, because of our grocery bills skyrocketing, we're not eating... Basically, we're just not eating the healthy food.
00:03:46.000 We're just eating more calorie-rich, calorie-dense food.
00:03:50.000 I blame Norman Borlaug.
00:03:52.000 I'm not familiar.
00:03:53.000 He's a bad dude, hanging out with some bad boys.
00:03:56.000 Increase the crop yield of wheat by, like, quadruple.
00:03:59.000 Oh, interesting.
00:03:59.000 And so, I'm kidding.
00:04:01.000 He's like a pretty good dude.
00:04:02.000 He did, through artificial selection, found ways to make it so that the density of the crops were substantially higher, so per season they could produce more food.
00:04:11.000 The problem is, the nutrient density of the food did not increase.
00:04:15.000 Right.
00:04:15.000 Just the starches.
00:04:17.000 So you end up with poor people eating really, really high starch food with low mineral, like, vitamin content.
00:04:23.000 Right.
00:04:24.000 Yeah.
00:04:24.000 and value, natural value.
00:04:26.000 So they have to eat five times as much to actually get the things they need,
00:04:29.000 but they're eating ridiculous amounts of sugar.
00:04:32.000 Totally.
00:04:33.000 So it's not actually helping anybody survive.
00:04:35.000 It's created a whole bunch of like half malnourished, overweight people.
00:04:40.000 Right.
00:04:40.000 Yeah, not good.
00:04:41.000 So it's empty calories.
00:04:42.000 Well, you know, it's still keeping more people alive.
00:04:45.000 If you're like, if you're starving in Africa and you're like, I can have some super dense wheat,
00:04:49.000 like I'm gonna eat that for sure.
00:04:51.000 Or like, or like golden rice, for instance, and stuff like that.
00:04:53.000 It's like, it's like, these things are the, there's the innovation that proved Malthus wrong.
00:04:57.000 Like, these innovations are what has saved humanity.
00:05:00.000 Exactly.
00:05:01.000 Which is... Well, no, I mean, the expansion of crop yield made things worse.
00:05:05.000 Sure, it's a lot of billion more people to survive.
00:05:07.000 Like what's surviving if you don't have the proper vitamin intake?
00:05:11.000 Right, definitely.
00:05:12.000 But I mean, there's also things like the corn subsidy in the United States and where we just have corn in literally every product that's ever existed now, Reagan.
00:05:20.000 Dude, why don't we, can we subsidize something else?
00:05:23.000 Because like, what happens is you go to a company and you're like, if you grow corn, we'll pay for it.
00:05:27.000 And it's like, okay, what can we do with corn?
00:05:30.000 We can make plastics from it.
00:05:31.000 We can make fuel from it.
00:05:32.000 You know, obviously food.
00:05:34.000 Extract the sugars from it.
00:05:36.000 And the only reason that that's possible is because of corn subsidies.
00:05:40.000 If they did not subsidize corn, high fructose corn would not exist.
00:05:44.000 It is more expensive to make, it is harder to make, it is harder to ship.
00:05:49.000 And it's unhealthier.
00:05:50.000 But we, through our tax dollars, are paying for that garbage to be in our food.
00:05:54.000 I got an idea. 0.94
00:05:55.000 If we just want capitalism to be sugar.
00:05:57.000 Do you know 20% of sugar comes from beets?
00:05:59.000 Yes.
00:06:00.000 I had no idea.
00:06:00.000 Sugar beets.
00:06:01.000 It's crazy.
00:06:01.000 Actually, in Idaho, they grow more sugar beets than we grow potatoes, in reality.
00:06:05.000 Yeah.
00:06:05.000 And everyone thinks it's, like, the plant of potatoes.
00:06:06.000 I'm like... People... They still produce more potatoes than anyone else in the U.S.
00:06:10.000 True.
00:06:10.000 People think sugar comes from sugarcane, because sugarcane is called sugarcane.
00:06:15.000 But it comes from beets.
00:06:16.000 Yeah.
00:06:17.000 At least 20% of it does.
00:06:18.000 I had no idea.
00:06:19.000 My mind's blown right now.
00:06:20.000 Yeah, sugar beets.
00:06:21.000 So why don't we subsidize beets? 0.99
00:06:22.000 I'm much more invested in this process.
00:06:24.000 Beets are terrible.
00:06:25.000 Is there something that's healthier?
00:06:26.000 What about avocados?
00:06:29.000 Avocados are great.
00:06:29.000 I like avocados.
00:06:30.000 Yeah, but where can we grow them?
00:06:32.000 I think... South?
00:06:33.000 Florida?
00:06:33.000 California?
00:06:34.000 Mexico?
00:06:35.000 Mexico's like over our dead body to take our avocados. 0.99
00:06:39.000 We import their avocados.
00:06:41.000 There are massive avocado groves in California.
00:06:44.000 And most people don't know that avocados are actually very big.
00:06:46.000 Because we have the little tiny Hasuans. 1.00
00:06:48.000 When I was in Brazil, I was hanging out, oh huge, they're bigger, they're like basketballs.
00:06:54.000 Like a cantaloupe, basically.
00:06:55.000 Or bigger!
00:06:56.000 I was telling my buddy, I was like, let's grab some food and we're at the grocery store and I was like, let's make guacamole.
00:07:02.000 And then he comes back with this huge thing that was like this big.
00:07:05.000 And I was like, what's that?
00:07:05.000 And he's like, it's the avocado.
00:07:07.000 And I was like, what?
00:07:09.000 And then he cracked it open and it was an avocado.
00:07:11.000 And I was like, wow, what the?
00:07:13.000 I've never seen anything so big.
00:07:14.000 I know you can go to the store and you get the slightly bigger ones and they have the small house ones, but this one in Brazil was like just absolutely massive.
00:07:21.000 It was fantastic.
00:07:21.000 I like dumping lemon juice all over it.
00:07:23.000 Lime juice.
00:07:23.000 Just ridiculous amounts.
00:07:26.000 I think agricultural innovations are so fascinating.
00:07:29.000 Like I was watching a video about the baby carrot.
00:07:32.000 And it was this Californian farmer who was like, I have all these ugly carrots that no one will buy, but they are the majority of my crop.
00:07:39.000 What should I do?
00:07:40.000 And basically decided to make a machine that would make baby carrots.
00:07:44.000 And now that is the dominant form of carrots sold in America.
00:07:48.000 This is the most white girl story I've ever heard. 0.95
00:07:50.000 I was sitting at home and I was watching this documentary about baby carrots.
00:07:54.000 I'm happy with who I am.
00:07:55.000 Thanks for racially profiling me.
00:07:57.000 You know where carrot cake came from?

00:09:01.000 I think it was the Navy, I'm not sure, but they had carrot shavings.
00:09:05.000 They had carrot pulp from making carrots or something like that, and they didn't want to throw it away.
00:09:08.000 It still had nutritional value.
00:09:10.000 So they baked the pulp into a cake so that everybody would want to eat it.
00:09:14.000 Carrot cake is actually really good.
00:09:17.000 And it's got a lot of carrot pulp in it.
00:09:18.000 Yeah, I didn't even know.
00:09:19.000 Surge! 0.79
00:09:20.000 That's why it's called carrot cake.
00:09:21.000 I want to know when your Ronald Reagan diss track is going to come out.
00:09:25.000 He's been going off on Reagan lately.
00:09:26.000 He's been going off on Reagan.
00:09:29.000 You're too young to hate Reagan.
00:09:30.000 It's going to be called No Fault Divorce. 0.98
00:09:34.000 That's a great title actually.
00:09:36.000 That's a good one.
00:09:37.000 Yeah.
00:09:37.000 So is it coming?
00:09:37.000 What's the deal?
00:09:38.000 I mean, I used to make hip hop.
00:09:39.000 I'll make it.
00:09:40.000 If I'm going to do it, I'll do it.
00:09:41.000 Sure.
00:09:42.000 I have a litany of things that I dislike that Reagan did that are just like... I have to tell you, everyone's attention span is only 30 seconds unless you make an exciting bridge.
00:09:52.000 I want to hear it in rap form only.
00:09:54.000 A good hip hop track now is like a minute.
00:09:55.000 It's a minute long.
00:09:56.000 240 is like the golden ratio.
00:09:59.000 Yeah, but that's too long.
00:10:00.000 That's too long now.
00:10:01.000 It's already too long.
00:10:02.000 It's gotta be the length of a YouTube short.
00:10:06.000 I've become friends with Anomaly and Bryson Gray over the past couple years.
00:10:11.000 I don't think that they'd be down to rap on a Ronald Reagan diss track, but if you got any other ideas, we could try it.
00:10:18.000 Why, do they like Reagan?
00:10:19.000 Probably.
00:10:20.000 I mean, they're like, they're MAGA guys.
00:10:22.000 I like the idea that Serge is the controversial hip-hop artist of the right.
00:10:28.000 You can film it in, like, an asylum.
00:10:30.000 Like, all the asylums that he could go. 0.94
00:10:32.000 One of the asylums that he could let in and have clothes and go, you know, repeal the LPS Act. 0.94
00:10:36.000 I think no-fault divorce may be one of the single worst things outside of the creation of the Federal Reserve that has ever been done to this country.
00:10:43.000 And that's not all he did.
00:10:44.000 The end of no-fault divorce was the end of marriage, 100% period.
00:10:51.000 Isn't that somewhat coercive, though, to keep people in a marriage?
00:10:54.000 Don't sign a contract you don't intend to keep.
00:10:57.000 I'll grant you that, yeah.
00:10:58.000 And if you want to break a contract, you need legal reasons to do so.
00:11:01.000 And that was the case beforehand.
00:11:03.000 Now, the contract has no legal standing.
00:11:07.000 You go in and say, we're married, doesn't matter, annulment or divorce, done.
00:11:10.000 What's the point?
00:11:11.000 Now, what happened was, since that moment, there's no more marriage, there's only trust relationships or dating.
00:11:19.000 You've got women who treat marriage like dating. 1.00
00:11:23.000 It's like, oh, I'll get married to him because I can always divorce him later.
00:11:25.000 A lot of men treat it that way too, unfortunately.
00:11:27.000 That's right, yeah.
00:11:27.000 Sure, men and women.
00:11:28.000 It's terrible.
00:11:29.000 I don't know.
00:11:30.000 I'm torn on that one because I never tend to believe that the state should be molding cultural decisions.
00:11:38.000 We ought to be a more healthy, caring, loving people that want to actually enter these arrangements without the state being involved and commit to it for life.
00:11:48.000 Should the state enforce contracts?
00:11:50.000 Well, when it comes to, like, property disputes, yeah, but I, like, is there property dispute?
00:11:55.000 Yes.
00:11:55.000 That's, like, marriage is about two humans merging their lives, and there's an exchange of property, there's a merging of property.
00:12:02.000 It is effectively an individualist corporate merger.
00:12:04.000 I guess that's true, yeah.
00:12:05.000 It has to be enforced in some capacity, otherwise it can't exist.
00:12:08.000 No, that's a fair point.
00:12:08.000 Imagine if there was no fault contract breaking.
00:12:11.000 Right.
00:12:12.000 And it's like, I have a contract with him to sell me, you know, a hundred pounds of corn once a week, and he just stopped doing it, and he kept the money, and it's like, well, you know, he's allowed to do it, have a nice day.
00:12:20.000 It's like, my business is gone.
00:12:22.000 Maybe you should have kept Date Night alive, you know, there were other things you could stay in the business.
00:12:26.000 The spark was gone.
00:12:30.000 No, but do you think marriage should be more difficult to enter?
00:12:34.000 Because that's one of the things I've heard.
00:12:36.000 If you would take away no fault divorce, you should make it more difficult.
00:12:40.000 It can't just be you go to a courthouse, you get a license, you enter into a marriage.
00:12:42.000 Should marriage be more difficult to enter?
00:12:44.000 No.
00:12:46.000 No, two consenting adults can enter into a contractual agreement, they so choose, with certain limitations, obviously.
00:12:51.000 It has to be a legitimate contract.
00:12:54.000 Can't be coercive.
00:12:56.000 Otherwise, it's not a legitimate contract.
00:12:58.000 And you can't just break it.
00:12:59.000 You can set the terms of the marriage, perhaps.
00:13:03.000 Like any other contract, perhaps you'd be able to say, like, we both agree to a prenuptial agreement on these terms, the marriage would dissolve, and have that be recognized.
00:13:10.000 I think that's fair.
00:13:11.000 Yeah.
00:13:11.000 I'm kind of ignorant to this topic, so what was it prior?
00:13:14.000 Like if someone had to cheat or something like that?
00:13:16.000 There had to be a legitimate, yeah, it had to be like infidelity, abuse, deception.
00:13:23.000 So otherwise you would just stay married forever if the person didn't cheat.
00:13:26.000 You'd go to court and then the judge would determine what the appropriate remedy was for the conflict.
00:13:31.000 That's interesting.
00:13:32.000 Because there were lots of people who, like, live separate lives, but were legally still married.
00:13:36.000 Of course.
00:13:36.000 They were happy.
00:13:37.000 But there were a lot of marriages that it was two people living together who were okay with each other's company and they weren't, like, romantically swinging from the, you know, the chandelier or whatever.
00:13:46.000 There was just like, hey, we have our lives together.
00:13:48.000 Yeah.
00:13:49.000 Let's live together and have a family and, you know.
00:13:51.000 I always felt like this is why more people needed to have premarital counseling before they enter into marriage.
00:13:56.000 I don't think you can mandate it but it's just it's it's one of the things Catholic Church does right like you have to be able to talk about all of the issues up front and I think that's uh very difficult.
00:14:06.000 I think people feel like oh we love each other so much right now and everything will be fine and if you can't talk things through and figure out where the faults are it's very difficult to enter into a contract.
00:14:15.000 And like with abortion, the left lies to justify their lax policies that create perpetual children.
00:14:23.000 They say things when it comes to abortion, it's like it's about the health of the mother and abuse and all that, and then what happens?
00:14:28.000 99.9% of abortions are elective forms of abortion as contraception.
00:14:32.000 Like that's something that most people, when polled, disagree with.
00:14:35.000 Right.
00:14:35.000 When it came to no-fault divorce, they respond to like our segments about this saying like, No Fault Divorce was created because women were being mercilessly beaten by their husbands and couldn't escape, and it's like, yeah, no, that was actually cause for breaking the marriage.
00:14:49.000 That would be grounds.
00:14:50.000 That was grounds.
00:14:51.000 So the issue is, now you have men and women, there is no institutional family structure anymore since Ronald Reagan.
00:14:58.000 He destroyed it!
00:15:01.000 And it's funny to me, people are like, but Ronald Reagan was so great!
00:15:03.000 No, he was not.
00:15:04.000 No, Jimmy Carter was bad!
00:15:05.000 Come on.
00:15:06.000 And then the family's been completely destroyed.
00:15:09.000 And now, when you think back to those glorious moments as a child, when you'd wake up on Christmas Eve and run downstairs to find the presents, and there's little candles, and we weren't rich.
00:15:18.000 We weren't rich.
00:15:18.000 That's all going away.
00:15:20.000 Because now it's weird, polycule, pan-nonsense.
00:15:24.000 It's men and women being like, you know what?
00:15:26.000 I'm not feeling good anymore, so I'm gonna leave for no reason.
00:15:29.000 It's now, it's men being like, hey, I've started a company.
00:15:32.000 Why would I get married to this woman if she can divorce me at any time for any reason and get half the stuff that I made? 1.00
00:15:37.000 That makes no sense.
00:15:38.000 So the end of no-fault divorce has basically destroyed marriage as a whole.
00:15:42.000 And now people don't want to have, like, aren't having families, aren't having kids.
00:15:45.000 Men are becoming perpetual children who are either virgins, sitting at home, living with their parents, or they're just not getting relationships, or just banging random women all the time and not having kids, and then demanding of them when they get abortions if they get pregnant. 0.72
00:15:59.000 Then you have women being told it's empowering to do all this, and they say, sure, I guess, because Instagram told them to.
00:16:03.000 Yep.
00:16:03.000 Well, the thing that has kept me out of the marriage game was because I was relatively financially successful young, and I was just looking around like, this seems like a really bad deal for me.
00:16:16.000 That's Reagan's fault. 0.98
00:16:18.000 Because before that, you wouldn't have to worry.
00:16:20.000 You'd say, you can't, if we get married, it's marriage.
00:16:23.000 Right.
00:16:23.000 Till death.
00:16:24.000 You didn't even need prenups.
00:16:25.000 Right.
00:16:26.000 It wasn't a thing before.
00:16:27.000 Because as long as I wasn't going to be abusive or cheating, then it would have stuck it out.
00:16:30.000 Exactly.
00:16:30.000 And now think about when you're paying like alimony.
00:16:34.000 That existed because there was a legitimate reason the marriage dissolved.
00:16:38.000 Right.
00:16:38.000 Correct.
00:16:39.000 And now it doesn't have to be a reason.
00:16:41.000 So you could go to court and be like, we're not happy together.
00:16:44.000 And the judge would say, marriage counseling.
00:16:46.000 Right.
00:16:47.000 Yeah.
00:16:47.000 Figure it out.
00:16:48.000 Yeah.
00:16:48.000 But now it's, we're not happy.
00:16:50.000 Okay.
00:16:51.000 Dissolved and you get half his stuff and you got to pay our alimony now.
00:16:54.000 Even if she's cheating or whatever, it's still like... Doesn't matter.
00:16:57.000 Yeah.
00:16:57.000 It's nuts.
00:16:58.000 On top of that, he signed the NFA.
00:16:59.000 He didn't repeal the LPS Act, which then he used to defund, deregulate, which is really just regulating.
00:17:05.000 I can't even hear this unless there's some sort of hip hop track.
00:17:07.000 It's a rap song.
00:17:08.000 I'm waiting for it, man.
00:17:09.000 Dude, it's an insane list.
00:17:11.000 No, the NFA is the worst.
00:17:13.000 Yeah, it's a real bad one.
00:17:14.000 It's a real bad one.
00:17:14.000 He came on the show the other day and I'm like, how you doing, buddies?
00:17:16.000 Well, that's Reagan.
00:17:17.000 That's how I'm doing today.
00:17:18.000 Dude, think about this.
00:17:19.000 Ronald Wilson Reagan 666.
00:17:21.000 I used to laugh about that.
00:17:24.000 I used to laugh about that, dude, but now I'm like, man, those people had a point, dude.
00:17:28.000 It's wild.
00:17:29.000 It's wild, man.
00:17:31.000 Yeah, Carter was really, really bad, and people are like, oh, but he helped the country and did all these things, and I'm like, gun control?
00:17:38.000 Nah, uh-uh.
00:17:40.000 And it was racist gun control! 0.99
00:17:42.000 It was the worst kind!
00:17:42.000 Come on.
00:17:44.000 As far as I'm concerned, all gun control is the worst kind.
00:17:46.000 But yes, I grant you that.
00:17:47.000 I think that's oftentimes what happens with presidential analysis.
00:17:50.000 It's like, whatever period you're coming out of, you can basically do no wrong.
00:17:53.000 You had the inflation in the 1970s, and then they skyrocket the interest rates.
00:17:58.000 You have a terrible recession in the very, very early 80s.
00:18:01.000 And then you build into this 30-year bull market that everyone benefits from.
00:18:05.000 And then we had the penny stocks crash, like almost immediately after that,
00:18:09.000 because of all these crazy deregulated things that he did to the market.
00:18:12.000 It's like a lot of the things that I say about him, it's like if he made these changes in the short term
00:18:16.000 and then turned them off, but he didn't.
00:18:19.000 He just like, oh, we're just gonna leave it.
00:18:19.000 And that becomes status quo.
00:18:21.000 We're just gonna behave like this is normal.
00:18:22.000 And ever since, I don't know if you guys noticed, but like those big,
00:18:25.000 the first stock crash really happened in like 29.
00:18:27.000 And then we've seen, we saw a huge gap until 87, when penny stock crash and we had dotcom boom,
00:18:33.000 we had the housing crisis.
00:18:35.000 And now we have this other one that's looming now because of...
00:18:38.000 I don't know.
00:18:38.000 I don't know what the main thing is underneath it all, but it's happening for a reason.
00:18:42.000 I will say, I got to defend Reagan on this one.
00:18:46.000 His willingness to sit down, I think it was Gorbachev, sit down in the late 80s and actually- Yeah, Gorbachev was on this wall.
00:18:51.000 Yeah.
00:18:52.000 Well, it wasn't really the demand.
00:18:53.000 I mean, it was the fact that the USSR, it was really the Russian leadership that prevented nuclear war ultimately.
00:19:00.000 But the fact that he was sane enough to go, yeah, I'm going to work with these guys on this.
00:19:05.000 It was probably one of the greatest moments in world history, honestly.
00:19:10.000 I agree.
00:19:10.000 I agree.
00:19:11.000 But not wanting to let the world fall into nuclear war is a pretty low bar to set for this dude.
00:19:16.000 It's a low bar, but it's a really good thing.
00:19:18.000 Yeah, I'm not going to disagree.
00:19:19.000 Now make this a rap battle and I'm all for it.
00:19:21.000 Like, what is happening?
00:19:23.000 I can absolutely rap battle you on this.
00:19:25.000 The intro to my song on Liberty Lockdown is me rapping.
00:19:27.000 I don't know if you're aware.
00:19:28.000 Oh, true.
00:19:29.000 I didn't know that.
00:19:29.000 Oh, wow.
00:19:31.000 So your track could have a whole chorus where you guys rap about it.
00:19:33.000 I'm sorry, this is writing itself.
00:19:35.000 What is happening?
00:19:36.000 I'm a producer and a DJ, not a rapper.
00:19:37.000 Okay, well I rap and I don't produce or DJ, so let's burn Reagan's legacy to the ground.
00:19:42.000 Let's do it.
00:19:43.000 I'm all for it.
00:19:44.000 Let's do it.
00:19:45.000 I think that's our break.
00:19:47.000 You've got Wilson and you've got Joe Biden, who are going to go down.
00:19:50.000 They're the worst.
00:19:52.000 Buchanan. 0.95
00:19:53.000 Buchanan was bad.
00:19:54.000 Wilson's bad only because we're smart enough to understand the context of history.
00:19:58.000 Exactly.
00:19:58.000 In hindsight.
00:19:59.000 But for the average person, it's going to be probably Buchanan and Biden.
00:20:02.000 Interesting.
00:20:03.000 Mostly because they were pre-Civil War presidents.
00:20:05.000 Right.
00:20:06.000 Woodrow Wilson, for a libertarian community, is like, he is Voldemort. 0.62
00:20:11.000 Just despise that guy.
00:20:13.000 Seriously.
00:20:13.000 I mean, anybody who knows about, yes, Yeah.
00:20:16.000 And anybody who knows about the Federal Reserve and how central banks work should be upset about it.
00:20:20.000 Yeah.
00:20:20.000 Funny how Wilson's Reagan's middle name, which is what I always thought was really funny too, just happens to be his middle name for some reason, right?
00:20:26.000 No conspiracy.
00:20:27.000 Back to Reagan once again.
00:20:28.000 I don't know.
00:20:28.000 I hate it.
00:20:29.000 It's just everything, dude.
00:20:31.000 Anyways.
00:20:33.000 If there is no centralized banking system, you cannot have the ideological control there.
00:20:38.000 I mean, you were mentioning this, that when you said, like, BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, all that stuff, is the Federal Reserve.
00:20:44.000 Yeah.
00:20:45.000 Basically what happens is, when they pick and choose who gets the money... Bingo.
00:20:49.000 Literally just say, this is the ideology that's going to be mandated.
00:20:52.000 Exactly.
00:20:53.000 They dictate policy.
00:20:54.000 But unfortunately, I mean, fortunately, people are starting to catch on.
00:20:57.000 But really, this is too high level conceptually.
00:21:01.000 I'm trying to figure out how to put it into a meme form to get people activated.
00:21:06.000 And ultimately, this is why, regardless of my opinion as to the Bud Light and the Target and actually what they were doing, I'm just grateful that there has been a populist uprising that's saying, Whatever the reason, you know.
00:21:18.000 Sure, Clint's lecturing us about ESG. 0.98
00:21:19.000 We don't give a shit about any of that. 1.00
00:21:21.000 We just want these motherfuckers to stop. 1.00
00:21:22.000 You know what I mean? 1.00
00:21:23.000 And I'm like, all right, cool.
00:21:24.000 Like, I'm with you.
00:21:24.000 Let's go.
00:21:25.000 Let's do it.
00:21:25.000 Yeah, bet.
00:21:26.000 You're on, man.
00:21:27.000 Let's do it.
00:21:28.000 Let's go to callers.
00:21:29.000 See what they have to say about us.
00:21:30.000 All right.
00:21:30.000 Sounds good.
00:21:33.000 Let's talk to Blue Collar Ken.
00:21:34.000 That sounds like a good one to start this off.
00:21:36.000 How you doing, Blue Collar Ken?
00:21:37.000 What's up?
00:21:39.000 Hey, good evening.
00:21:39.000 Thanks for taking my call.
00:21:41.000 Of course.
00:21:41.000 And it's advantageous because I have a question about the Libertarian Party.
00:21:46.000 Let's do it.
00:21:47.000 Okay.
00:21:48.000 You guys shoot your wad trying to get the chief executive job every four years, and there are no members in the legislature at all.
00:21:57.000 And there are congressional seats that would be pretty viable for a third party to take because they're in areas where the incumbent has disappointed, I'm not going to name any names, Dan Crenshaw, you know, where the incumbent has disappointed the constituency and they're definitely not going to vote for the other letter, D or R. So the third party candidate has an incredibly good shot.
00:22:23.000 And let's face it, you've got to build a little viability here.
00:22:27.000 Okay, nobody's looking at libertarianism as anything but the punchline to a joke for the chief executive job.
00:22:33.000 And frankly, libertarian policy is more beneficial when it comes to the purse strings.
00:22:37.000 So, what is the plan to broaden the party and maybe caucus with some of the America First Republicans?
00:22:45.000 Well, that was a couple of questions there.
00:22:47.000 But first off, the Mises Caucus and the decentralized revolution, that is really the plan there, is exactly what you're describing, where we go after local offices.
00:22:58.000 We're actually thinking even smaller.
00:23:00.000 We're talking mayoral, sheriffs, things like that.
00:23:02.000 Public schools.
00:23:03.000 Yeah, that too, school boards that are nonpartisan city councils.
00:23:08.000 I think that that's really the best way.
00:23:09.000 If you're going to run with a libertarian decal next to your name, that's the best way.
00:23:16.000 I'm of the opinion that if you want the federal level, if you want libertarian beliefs at the federal level, you should probably run under the guise of GOP.
00:23:24.000 Ron Paul has already demonstrated that's probably the best way to go.
00:23:27.000 So I think running as a libertarian in non-affiliated Yeah, I mean, obviously, that's kind of what I was hoping to hear.
00:23:32.000 the smallest local level is the way to go and then running under the GOP banner because the GOP
00:23:38.000 voters tend to really like libertarian ideology. I think that's the best way to go. I hope that
00:23:43.000 answers your question. Yeah, I mean, obviously that's kind of what I was hoping to hear.
00:23:50.000 Okay. Well, then if I gave you the answer you wanted to hear, then that's a win.
00:23:53.000 Yeah, if you're a politician, I got a baby for you to kiss. 1.00
00:23:57.000 Don't get me in trouble, man.
00:24:01.000 Oh, I apologize.
00:24:03.000 No kissing.
00:24:03.000 No kissing.
00:24:05.000 Well, all right.
00:24:06.000 Right on, man.
00:24:06.000 Thanks for calling in.
00:24:07.000 Appreciate it.
00:24:08.000 Thank you.
00:24:09.000 Talk to you soon.
00:24:10.000 Oh, he's gone already.
00:24:11.000 Wow.
00:24:11.000 Before I can even get there.
00:24:12.000 Dan Welsh, you are up next on the docket.
00:24:15.000 How are you doing today?
00:24:16.000 And you got to unmute yourself just to remind you.
00:24:19.000 Hi, Tim and crew.
00:24:20.000 How are you doing?
00:24:21.000 Doing well.
00:24:22.000 I think I'm the first caller from this country.
00:24:25.000 Does anyone want to guess my accident quickly?
00:24:27.000 Are you Australian?
00:24:28.000 New Zealand.
00:24:30.000 I kind of nailed it.
00:24:33.000 You're a Commonwealther, though, so if you live in the Commonwealth, you just kind of know. 0.73
00:24:36.000 You had just a few words where I couldn't distinguish if it was Kiwi or an Aussie.
00:24:42.000 South Africa, I got it first.
00:24:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did.
00:24:44.000 What did you say?
00:24:45.000 He's Australian.
00:24:46.000 Oh, Australian. 1.00
00:24:47.000 Yeah, no, no, New Zealand is really obvious.
00:24:50.000 Yeah.
00:24:50.000 Honestly, I thought it was Australian, but she already said it, so I was like, New Zealand.
00:24:54.000 Sure you did, Clint.
00:24:55.000 Can everyone just let me have my moment?
00:24:57.000 I won!
00:24:57.000 You got it, you won!
00:24:58.000 It's cool, it's fine.
00:24:59.000 Anyways, what's up?
00:25:01.000 My question is for Clint.
00:25:02.000 I've been digging down in the macroeconomic cycle a lot, looking at some of the work of people like Jeff Snyder.
00:25:09.000 So my question is, is the Federal Reserve an all-powerful monolith, or is it just a bunch of bureaucrats running around damaging everything, acting like responsible people?
00:25:21.000 Kind of both.
00:25:23.000 Because I feel like, in particular the work of Jeff Snyder, he's reviewed all the previous released FOMC minutes.
00:25:30.000 Right.
00:25:31.000 And you see them, what they're talking about throughout the 2008 GFC.
00:25:35.000 Yep. 0.98
00:25:36.000 They got, sorry, sorry, they got no fucking idea. 0.98
00:25:38.000 No, you're absolutely right. 0.97
00:25:40.000 And it seems like what they do is more of a social-psychological impact, saying, well, we're in control, interest rates are going up, you have to listen to us and follow our lead.
00:25:52.000 But ultimately, monetary systems are global, and so money can easily flow away from the US if it wants to.
00:25:59.000 Well, yeah, and that has been probably the biggest pitfall of trying to micromanage the economy through Federal Reserve policy is that because the economy is now global in nature, you have to consider so many factors that it's essentially above any human being's pay grade, which is why the Misesian School of Economics says you have to allow the individuals making their own autonomous decision-making That's really what creates the most sound foundation for an economy.
00:26:31.000 Once you have any sort of central planning, you're doomed to shortages and surpluses and all sorts of malinvestment, which is what we've seen.
00:26:38.000 But you're absolutely right.
00:26:38.000 The track record of the Federal Reserve, but central banks broadly is horrific, but it doesn't matter because they have a monopoly on the creation of currency.
00:26:48.000 So it's a business that it doesn't matter if you fail over and over because ultimately you're sitting on a gold mine.
00:26:54.000 So that's why the only answer is for the public to rise up and demand the abolition.
00:26:59.000 Yeah.
00:27:00.000 It's not really a goldmine.
00:27:01.000 It's an army.
00:27:03.000 Yeah.
00:27:03.000 Pardon me.
00:27:04.000 Sorry about that.
00:27:05.000 Sorry.
00:27:06.000 Yeah, I think Clint touched on it earlier before I got to answer my question, that the focus should be on the private entities with all the money pulling the strings.
00:27:13.000 Because it's the banking system with its appetite for risk to do fractional reserve banking that can rapidly expand or pull the rug from under any economy.
00:27:22.000 But they can only do that because of their relationship to the central bank and the discount window.
00:27:29.000 You can either strike at the branches of this evil beast, or you can go for the root.
00:27:34.000 The root is the Federal Reserve.
00:27:36.000 I think that that's where you ought to be focusing your energy.
00:27:40.000 I know it sounds delusional, but it wasn't that long ago that you had college kids that were chanting in the Fed during the Ron Paul revolution.
00:27:47.000 I believe we can still bring that energy back.
00:27:49.000 I hope we can do it before we're in a global Great Depression.
00:27:52.000 But even if we have to wait until then, I think people will ultimately wake up to why the economy is so unfair, why income inequality exists, why you can't afford a home, why you can't stay home with your children.
00:28:04.000 These are all a product of central banking and namely the Federal Reserve.
00:28:07.000 So that's why I go ballistic about it so often.
00:28:10.000 Amen, man.
00:28:11.000 Amen.
00:28:11.000 Definitely.
00:28:12.000 Definitely.
00:28:14.000 Well, if that's everything, man.
00:28:16.000 Sorry, just one other thing.
00:28:17.000 Tim, I just wanted to disprove your theory with NPCs and having no internal monologue or visualization capabilities.
00:28:28.000 I have a condition that I didn't even know I had until I heard about it.
00:28:31.000 It's called aphantasia.
00:28:32.000 So I can't close my eyes and visualize anything.
00:28:36.000 Interesting.
00:28:36.000 Yeah, you're talking about the Apple just blows my mind how you said you could do any kind of manipulation to it, but... Oh, yeah.
00:28:43.000 Yeah, it's... I can do the Apple in four dimensions.
00:28:47.000 Yeah, I'll get black, pitch black.
00:28:49.000 Wow, that's interesting.
00:28:52.000 And all my memories are like, the best way to describe it, like, as if I read it in a book.
00:28:58.000 Wow.
00:28:58.000 So, unfortunately, I can't remember visually, like, my happiest day of my life, marrying my wife or...
00:29:04.000 Can't visually remember.
00:29:06.000 My dog of 14 years, it was my everything.
00:29:08.000 So if someone asked you, what was the color of the flowers or whatever, you wouldn't know?
00:29:15.000 If I made an actual point to remember it, I would.
00:29:18.000 But if I just walked past it and it was in a nondescript location, I probably wouldn't.
00:29:22.000 Yeah, your memory wouldn't actually have a visual aspect to it.
00:29:27.000 Yeah, yeah, so like the book would say the flower was white.
00:29:30.000 Right, right.
00:29:31.000 I couldn't picture the white flower.
00:29:32.000 That's super interesting, man.
00:29:33.000 This is fascinating.
00:29:34.000 Maybe I have the same problem because I have a shitty memory and I thought maybe, but now I'm like, maybe that's why I have a shitty memory because I can't.
00:29:40.000 You can take a test online.
00:29:42.000 I googled it.
00:29:42.000 Okay, I'm gonna do that.
00:29:43.000 I'm gonna do that.
00:29:45.000 I mean, it doesn't have anything to do with memory.
00:29:46.000 It's to do with details of visual.
00:29:49.000 So, like, I can remember heaps of different facts.
00:29:53.000 My whole career is science-based.
00:29:54.000 I can remember lots of different scientific theories and data points, but visualization?
00:30:00.000 Nothing.
00:30:01.000 I have a photographic memory, but I don't have a photographic memory to the degree where it's like, I can look at something, and then read, like I can't look at like a page, and then look away and then read the page, but to a certain degree I can, so like, if we're like driving around the corner and there's a bunch of signs, I can look at the signs, turn around, and tell you exactly what the signs say and things like that.
00:30:21.000 So, and it also depends on focus and intent.
00:30:24.000 So when I used to work for the nonprofits, people would show me their credit card.
00:30:29.000 I'd look at it once and then I would just be able to write the whole thing down.
00:30:31.000 I don't need to read it.
00:30:33.000 I don't need to go three, six, nine, one, one, two.
00:30:36.000 I just look at it and then.
00:30:38.000 So you actually have like a photo of it in your mind for a while or is it forever?
00:30:43.000 Depending on the intent.
00:30:45.000 Some could be forever if I want them to be.
00:30:45.000 Wow.
00:30:47.000 That's incredible.
00:30:47.000 What a gift.
00:30:48.000 But most things I don't care to remember.
00:30:51.000 So I don't.
00:30:52.000 So it's like, Oh, what did I have for breakfast yesterday?
00:30:52.000 Right.
00:30:56.000 But if I'm eating breakfast and there's something in particular, I can probably remember everything about it.
00:31:00.000 So, for instance, I know people probably don't care to hear me talk about poker.
00:31:04.000 I could probably recite all of my poker hands.
00:31:06.000 Any poker hand of merit, I can go back and tell you exactly what happened.
00:31:10.000 I can tell you... Do you remember when I got you to fold?
00:31:14.000 There was two aces on the board and I think I raised you... You raised and I said, I believe you.
00:31:18.000 Yeah.
00:31:19.000 Yeah.
00:31:19.000 I had nothing.
00:31:20.000 Okay, good.
00:31:21.000 Yeah, I was drawing dead.
00:31:22.000 So I was just like, it's not about whether I believe you or not. 0.75
00:31:24.000 Yeah, I figured you were bullshitting me, but I was bullshitting you too. 1.00
00:31:27.000 I had jack shit, dude. 1.00
00:31:28.000 And that other guy knew. 1.00
00:31:29.000 Well, no, that other guy, he ran for the hills because you were backing me up.
00:31:33.000 It was beautiful.
00:31:34.000 But I can remember even going back three or... When were we in Florida?
00:31:40.000 A month ago.
00:31:42.000 A month ago?
00:31:43.000 Yeah, when we went on the yacht.
00:31:44.000 I remember a couple of the more significant hands of the night where I ended up getting, you know, beaten out pretty rough.
00:31:50.000 The flop was, I had king-ten, the flop was, I think it was king-ten-queen, I got two pair.
00:31:55.000 Right.
00:31:56.000 Other dude had ace-jack, he flopped the straight.
00:31:58.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:59.000 And so I cautiously bet into it, and then, you know, I got crushed.
00:32:02.000 And then there was another time where I flopped a straight with ace queen on an ace ten jackboard and the other guy had, I think he had pocket kings.
00:32:13.000 And then he ended up getting a boat.
00:32:15.000 Is it torturous having this good of a recollection of things?
00:32:17.000 I wouldn't know it any other way.
00:32:19.000 That's true.
00:32:20.000 But it's only things that I like are significant that I want to remember.
00:32:23.000 So if there's something insignificant that someone's like, hey remember this, I will.
00:32:26.000 Right.
00:32:26.000 You know, but there are some people who have absolute photographic memories where they can tell you literally everything.
00:32:32.000 They consider it a defect or like an anomaly.
00:32:36.000 No, they consider it negative.
00:32:37.000 That's what we're trying to say.
00:32:39.000 Like it's a syndrome of something because you could ask them like, where were you six weeks ago?
00:32:44.000 You know, where were you on like March 15th?
00:32:45.000 They'll be like, oh, March 15th.
00:32:47.000 Okay.
00:32:47.000 Yes.
00:32:47.000 Here's exactly what happened on March 15th.
00:32:48.000 Yeah.
00:32:48.000 I can't do that.
00:32:49.000 Yeah.
00:32:50.000 But like, I don't even think I'd want to.
00:32:53.000 Well, the people who can remember, like, every day specifically, they can tell you the temperature, they say that it means that they can never, like, they always hold grudges because they can remember every wrong that someone has done against them.
00:33:03.000 They can never let anything go because they remember every single detail all the time.
00:33:07.000 Yeah.
00:33:08.000 Today I tweeted something about the record low temperature.
00:33:12.000 They said it's a record low temperature for June.
00:33:14.000 And then I was just like, oh no, climate change, it's a global cooling, quick, have more babies and drill more.
00:33:21.000 I was gonna make a different joke, but I thought it'd be too crass for Twitter.
00:33:25.000 I was going to say... Tell us now, please.
00:33:27.000 I was going to make a joke basically about drilling your wives and drilling the ground. 1.00
00:33:32.000 And then I was like, we'll just settle with have more babies and drill.
00:33:35.000 Anyway, thanks for calling in, man.
00:33:39.000 Thank you very much, guys.
00:33:40.000 Thanks for all you do.
00:33:41.000 Appreciate it.
00:33:43.000 Alright, let's talk to Priz with a little winky face. 1.00
00:33:48.000 What's up, winky Priz? 1.00
00:33:51.000 Hi, how are you guys doing?
00:33:53.000 Why are you winking at us?
00:33:53.000 Good.
00:33:56.000 Um, well, long story about my name, but, um, uh, I guess it keep it short.
00:34:03.000 It's all from Minecraft.
00:34:04.000 It's voxel prismatic.
00:34:06.000 That's my at, um, just both parts derived from Minecraft.
00:34:12.000 Um, so my question was, Do you think the push for kids to go to college and get office jobs can explain the deficit in technical jobs?
00:34:28.000 Technical workers, because you guys are struggling to find basically anyone to work on the coffee shop.
00:34:35.000 I mean, I've seen a large decrease in the amount of people working in the trades.
00:34:40.000 A large decrease in the push for people to work in the trades.
00:34:44.000 You don't hear anybody push for kids to go to trade school anymore.
00:34:48.000 Let me start right now, dude.
00:34:51.000 But I'm saying, from the mass media, you're not going to hear them say, if you want to be successful, go spend a gazillion dollars at a four-year school so that you can be in debt for the next four years.
00:35:01.000 You know why?
00:35:02.000 Because people that work with their hands in the trades, they can actually make a good enough living that they don't have to rely on the state.
00:35:07.000 The state doesn't want that. 0.99
00:35:09.000 They want you to be a fucking ward. 0.98
00:35:10.000 So I think, I would highly recommend, anybody that's coming out of high school right now, give serious consideration to just going straight into an apprenticeship. 0.99
00:35:18.000 Yeah, you have to remember that over 95% of student loans come from the government.
00:35:24.000 So they are funding this cycle of debt and dependence.
00:35:28.000 I don't know about y'all's experience, but when I was in school, there was this sort of semi-negative connotation to trade schools.
00:35:34.000 You couldn't make it, I guess.
00:35:37.000 But now I think, like, Man, I wish I had gone there and met a nice electrician who would make money.
00:35:43.000 And there's so few people that are willing to put in actual hard labor that you could probably just go talk to your local electrician as a kid coming out of high school and be like, hey, I'll apprentice for you over the summer.
00:35:54.000 I want to prove that I'm capable.
00:35:56.000 And just all I'm asking is that you teach me everything you know.
00:35:59.000 He'd probably be willing.
00:36:00.000 So you don't even have to spend a penny.
00:36:02.000 He'll just Help you out.
00:36:04.000 My brother's an electrician.
00:36:07.000 He loves his job.
00:36:08.000 It's hard work, but he enjoys every bit of it.
00:36:10.000 Have you ever seen the video meme where it's like, stop trying to be influencers.
00:36:17.000 We need electricians and plumbers. 0.59
00:36:20.000 Stop it.
00:36:21.000 Exactly.
00:36:21.000 Yeah, I think that's it.
00:36:22.000 I think generally people are afraid of labor because we have insulated ourselves from it.
00:36:30.000 I'm kind of giving away the story here, but I've been thinking about writing this piece for a long time about how Chuck Grassley is one of two active farmers in the U.S.
00:36:37.000 Senate.
00:36:38.000 I find this deeply disturbing because a hundred years ago, right, we must have had more people who were actively tied into the farm.
00:36:47.000 They actively took part, they knew what it was like, and now it's like, John Tester from Montana, Chuck Grassley, whose son actually manages the farm, and then there's like a handful of people who raise cattle.
00:36:58.000 And like, those are real jobs that touch earth, you know what I'm saying?
00:37:02.000 Like, they are deeply affected by the weather and taxes, and the way that like the class of people who are coming up right now, you can click on all of their bios, it's public information, They went to an elite school, they went to an elite law school, then they worked on Capitol Hill, and then they ran for office in their home state.
00:37:18.000 And I'm not saying that those people couldn't do some positive, but it feels unnerving to me that we are seeing more politicians come from that cycle than politicians who have connections to small business and family farms.
00:37:29.000 Is that why we wanted back in the day it was such a plus to have military experience, right?
00:37:33.000 Like it's like you were invested in the country because you served the country in a way that, you know, being a lawyer doesn't necessarily have the same connotation.
00:37:40.000 Yeah.
00:37:41.000 I mean, it's the same thing when you hear people who like, like a criticism that comes up right now of Tim Scott, who's running for president.
00:37:47.000 uh is that he doesn't he's never been married he doesn't have kids and so that is a strange experience it is a similar criticism that i have to the catholic church right i don't understand why their priests don't get married and have families how can you sympathize more with someone than if you are also having to raise children in this environment you know what i mean i'm saying this to all the unmarried uh yeah men in this room who don't have children i'm sure you all will be fine it'll be great but it does he doesn't mean it it does Look, jury's out on all of you.
00:38:13.000 You seem wonderful, but I don't know.
00:38:16.000 I regularly pressure Brett on the Pop Culture Crisis show to get married and like find a woman and become a nice hockey dad.
00:38:22.000 So, you know, it'll be fine.
00:38:24.000 But I'm being serious.
00:38:25.000 I think these ties to a world outside of elite, you call, Tim refers to a lot as like the laptop class.
00:38:31.000 Like these people who have comfortable jobs where you don't work with your hands and you've never had to, right?
00:38:36.000 It's because we put air conditioning in all the office buildings.
00:38:38.000 That's why this is going on.
00:38:39.000 But I can understand why there was a generation of parents that were like, if I save and scrimp and send my kid to college, they can have a better life.
00:38:46.000 And that's what I want for them.
00:38:47.000 Like, I understand that, but it's so wrong.
00:38:50.000 That's the lie they've been sold.
00:38:51.000 The better life was being on the farm.
00:38:53.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:38:54.000 Like, you are better.
00:38:55.000 Man.
00:38:56.000 Or going to trade school.
00:38:57.000 To all the migrants out there who come here and they're like, I'm gonna work really hard and get my kid in college and they're gonna get a good job and have a good life, you are condemning them. 0.92
00:39:05.000 Yep. 0.99
00:39:05.000 You, like, you don't want them to be poor, you want them to have healthcare and make good money and all that stuff, but a good job, a trade, you get paid well, you work with your hands, you get physical activity, you go sit on your ass all day, you're gonna get hemorrhoids and you're gonna be writing about Brad Pitt's junk. 0.99
00:39:21.000 But also they get home at a reasonable time and like a lot of their work and that allows them the opportunity to actually raise a family. 0.63
00:39:27.000 They get weekends.
00:39:28.000 They get weekends off.
00:39:29.000 All kinds of things that people who have farms or small businesses don't have.
00:39:32.000 On the other hand, they are totally tied to a corporation and they are ultimately physically atrophying because they are not moving around enough.
00:39:39.000 But there's also a level of like, sure, maybe they have the weekends off, but there's a level of Purposelessness and despair that seems to coincide with the office job, especially now that there's DEI departments that are making you self-flagellate.
00:39:52.000 I mean, everything in life is a trade-off, and obviously someone is making the calculation that going into massive amounts of debt because you didn't go to trade school is worth it.
00:40:01.000 I personally disagree.
00:40:02.000 I did go to university.
00:40:04.000 But also a lot of those people who go work in the trades end up starting their own businesses.
00:40:07.000 They franchise their businesses and they seem to be more intelligent at actually working for themselves rather than having to go work for a large faceless multinational corporation.
00:40:16.000 I think about like your brother's an electrician, right?
00:40:18.000 So he could run his own business.
00:40:20.000 He could work for a contracting company that needs electricians.
00:40:23.000 He could go into house flipping and get really specialized.
00:40:25.000 He could rewire lamps.
00:40:26.000 He could do so many different things with different schedules.
00:40:29.000 It's a similar argument for women going into nursing. 1.00
00:40:32.000 Nursing is a very flexible career path.
00:40:34.000 There's lots of different types of shifts, there's different industries.
00:40:37.000 You can specialize, you could be a school nurse, depending on what else you need and want out of life.
00:40:43.000 It's a difficult, but a very interesting career path with a lot of flexibilities.
00:40:46.000 Becoming an office worker does not have that, and going into debt to become an office worker seems crazy.
00:40:53.000 And they always seem so miserable.
00:40:55.000 Let me also add, because I was an entrepreneur and because I had been successful in that path, During lockdowns, I was able to come out in May of 2020 or whatever, April, and start to speak out against this stuff.
00:41:07.000 Whereas most people that were working corporate jobs, that was kind of a career ender to do that.
00:41:12.000 So I would like to see more people that were in my position during the next crisis, which could be World War III, for instance, that are in a position where they can stand courageously and say, we're not going along with this latest narrative.
00:41:25.000 Because I think that's a real problem when you have more than half of the population that's just like, Cowed into silence and that's what we've kind of been dealing with lately.
00:41:34.000 Yeah, long story short.
00:41:35.000 You're better off doing a job where you get a little physical activity.
00:41:38.000 Oh, that's a little sweat.
00:41:39.000 Absolutely.
00:41:40.000 Like any amount of like having to go out and work like a lot of the people I know people that work construction that it's not the greatest job in the world, but they come home and they're and they're happy.
00:41:50.000 Yeah.
00:41:50.000 They worked hard.
00:41:51.000 Yeah.
00:41:51.000 Well, uh, and as for the coffee shop stuff, the, the bigger issue on our end is actually, it's, it's, it's the third parties.
00:41:59.000 It's the external.
00:42:00.000 So we've got contractors and what I'm learning is basically it's like, oh yeah, we were going to come in, but in order to do that, we have to have this guy from this government agency.
00:42:08.000 We have to have this guy from this agency.
00:42:10.000 We have to have this distributor give us these materials and everything is sludge right now.
00:42:16.000 So we did have problems with, you know, first degree contractors being like, oh, we're missing today, or I can't find the guys today.
00:42:24.000 Now we've rectified a lot of that.
00:42:26.000 We do need to get the work requests up in the members chat, because there is a lot of stuff that people could help us with.
00:42:33.000 But now it just seems like we can solve for one problem, but we can't solve the world.
00:42:37.000 Yeah, true.
00:42:38.000 But anyway, does that answer your question, good sir?
00:42:42.000 Yeah, and I just really like the point how office jobs are miserable.
00:42:47.000 I'm actually going to transfer from college as a computer science major to technical school because it's like significantly cheaper and I will actually enjoy myself.
00:42:58.000 Good for you.
00:42:59.000 And college really opened my eyes to how miserable my dad is working from home.
00:43:05.000 Yeah, right on.
00:43:07.000 Thank you guys very much.
00:43:07.000 Yep.
00:43:09.000 Thanks for calling in.
00:43:09.000 Of course.
00:43:10.000 This is really cool.
00:43:11.000 I just want to say this is really cool to have people able to call in like this.
00:43:14.000 Yeah, it's great.
00:43:16.000 R.J.
00:43:17.000 McDouglehiem.
00:43:18.000 That's a great name.
00:43:19.000 What's going on?
00:43:20.000 What up?
00:43:21.000 Thank you, sir.
00:43:23.000 Let's get back to the important news of the day.
00:43:25.000 These aliens.
00:43:26.000 Yes.
00:43:29.000 So do you guys think that they're greys, greens?
00:43:32.000 Nordic.
00:43:32.000 Or something like the gold?
00:43:33.000 Nordic.
00:43:34.000 I'm kidding.
00:43:35.000 I don't know.
00:43:36.000 They're humans from the future, and they're coming back to do research.
00:43:43.000 Are the greys the ones that are anti-human, or are the greens the ones that are anti-human?
00:43:48.000 The greys are us from the future.
00:43:50.000 Eileen Grey's, honestly.
00:43:52.000 I think that's the best thesis.
00:43:55.000 I feel like this is some sort of conference I'm not getting.
00:43:56.000 That's why they say, like, they have big heads and big eyes and they're really thin and gaunt.
00:44:00.000 Right.
00:44:00.000 Because they come back in time.
00:44:01.000 Because they've been tied into their computer screen for so many, yeah.
00:44:04.000 And that's why we never see any time travelers.
00:44:07.000 Because there are time travelers, but there are rules on time travel and always have been.
00:44:10.000 Yeah.
00:44:11.000 Although, to be fair, the moment time travel is invented, time ceases to exist.
00:44:18.000 It's bad.
00:44:19.000 As far as we're concerned with it, once time travel is invented, then everything is always everywhere, no matter what.
00:44:25.000 It's bad.
00:44:26.000 I saw 12 monkeys.
00:44:27.000 It's not a good thing.
00:44:28.000 But it's like limited time travel where it's like one guy can travel at one time for one reason.
00:44:34.000 But like, if we ever get to the point where we have time travel as ubiquitous as air travel, then the entire universe becomes infinity.
00:44:42.000 Just, it becomes a multiverse.
00:44:44.000 Bang! 1.00
00:44:44.000 Within a multiverse. 1.00
00:44:46.000 And then it totally ruins the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
00:44:48.000 Let me see what happens there.
00:44:50.000 There's no stakes for anything. 0.86
00:44:52.000 It has not been fucking fun watching that where it's like, oh, he's dead, but I know he's not dead yet because he's going to just come back. 0.92
00:44:52.000 Nothing matters. 0.92
00:45:01.000 It's more amazing if they actually stay dead.
00:45:04.000 That's the slimmest odds.
00:45:07.000 Imagine we invent totally ubiquitous time travel.
00:45:11.000 You'd buy potatoes, and then you'd be preparing them, and you'd be like, all right, who wants baked potatoes?
00:45:16.000 And then you'd place it in the oven, and then pull it right out, ready to go.
00:45:19.000 Microwaves would have no timers.
00:45:21.000 True.
00:45:21.000 You'd put the food in, close the door, open it, take it out, and it would be hot and ready to go.
00:45:25.000 It'd be hilarious, because I would just be like, Like Seamus would be going to get his potato and I'd kick him in the nuts and then I'd time travel away so that it didn't show me there.
00:45:34.000 It's like the snow days thing.
00:45:35.000 In the era of virtual school, kids don't have snow days anymore.
00:45:39.000 There will be a generation of kids who don't have that experience of rushing to do something while you're waiting for something to come out of the microwave.
00:45:45.000 We're robbing them of these core experiences.
00:45:47.000 Where you stand there for three and a half minutes and you watch it as it cooks and then you have a tumor.
00:45:53.000 I'm going to miss out on that.
00:45:55.000 Streaming, providing you no commercials.
00:45:58.000 When do you go to the bathroom?
00:45:59.000 Now you just have to pause it.
00:46:00.000 You don't have the rush of having to quickly go to the bathroom and get your food from the microwave before you get back.
00:46:05.000 See how quickly you can sprint?
00:46:06.000 These were great childhood experiences.
00:46:08.000 Your siblings screaming at you, get back!
00:46:11.000 We're just taking everything good away from children.
00:46:14.000 First H.S.
00:46:14.000 States, now this.
00:46:16.000 When I was 18, I was hanging out with my friends and we were watching Hit Ativo.
00:46:19.000 And we were watching, I think, Simpsons.
00:46:22.000 And he was like, I recorded the episode.
00:46:23.000 So he pressed play.
00:46:24.000 And then I was like, wow.
00:46:26.000 I was like, dude, in the future, there's going to be a Simpsons channel.
00:46:29.000 Cause like, we're already starting to see it.
00:46:31.000 And they were like, you think I'm like just a channel for the Simpsons.
00:46:34.000 And I was completely right.
00:46:35.000 It's not a channel.
00:46:36.000 It's the Simpsons page on, you know, whatever network.
00:46:39.000 And you just go through all the episodes whenever you want.
00:46:41.000 They're all just there.
00:46:42.000 That almost is like that we've, we've taken time away.
00:46:46.000 Right?
00:46:47.000 It used to be like, you could watch The Simpsons Thursdays at, you know, 5.30 or whatever Central, and that's when it's on, and you can watch it.
00:46:53.000 And then there's, they did, they started doing, when I was a kid, Simpsons right after, was it 5.30?
00:46:59.000 Monday through Friday, the reruns would come on.
00:47:01.000 I would get home, it would come on.
00:47:03.000 5.30, and then once TiVo existed, and you could record them all, now it was just, they were there.
00:47:10.000 And now, All shows exist in a perpetual infinite state.
00:47:15.000 You just turn the TV on and it's every episode.
00:47:18.000 I actually had this thought, and I'm sure you guys have probably thought about this too, but basically like once you have no binding event that we all gather for, like the closest thing we have left is live professional sports, but And I guess Game of Thrones was probably the last thing where we were all watching it as it released.
00:47:38.000 It was a sad commentary how little there is of that.
00:47:41.000 Succession had a record high of 2.9 million, which is negligible.
00:47:47.000 I'm older than you, but you probably also remember a similar type of thing where you would have these big TV things that everyone watched.
00:47:57.000 Who shot Mr. Burns?
00:47:57.000 Yeah, exactly. The X-Files would, the numbers the X-Files would do on a bad day on like a Sunday
00:48:04.000 would just destroy anything that comes out today by a mile.
00:48:08.000 And before that it was radio, right?
00:48:10.000 I mean, there were always these moments of gathering. It's why I think small town time
00:48:15.000 functions differently because if you're in a small town and you have like one church that
00:48:18.000 everyone's going to or you have like one Friday night football.
00:48:21.000 Right!
00:48:22.000 It doesn't happen the same way because these people are all having this moment where they're all together more frequently than we are when you're more disassociated or in a larger city.
00:48:30.000 I will say this though, to not be totally black billed, I think that this is gonna drive more and more people back into church life because they want to have some sort of uniform experience and that's like the only thing that's available.
00:48:39.000 They're gonna look for meaning.
00:48:41.000 I feel like in the near future, Tim has been saying how eventually the right will be the future.
00:48:48.000 I think we're going to see, not a reformation, what's the word?
00:48:51.000 It's a great revival.
00:48:52.000 A renaissance, if you will, of people returning to their faith in some way.
00:48:58.000 We've very quickly deviated from the aliens.
00:49:00.000 I'm sorry, Greg.
00:49:01.000 See what aliens can do to you? 0.55
00:49:02.000 They make you talk about everything.
00:49:05.000 I brought up time travel right away.
00:49:06.000 Is there anything else you wanted to add that we should actually answer?
00:49:11.000 Uh, I mean, not really.
00:49:14.000 I think it's more of a Stargate type issue.
00:49:17.000 My dad works down at Cheyenne Mountain.
00:49:19.000 He drives people in and out.
00:49:20.000 Oh, so he's actually like, oh yeah, it's like a two-story building in there.
00:49:24.000 And I laugh and I'm like, no, that's where the Stargate is.
00:49:29.000 Yeah, he's just, he can't tell you the truth, you know, because he'll blow his cover.
00:49:33.000 Well, if you get any inside information, please drop a dime to me.
00:49:37.000 Liberty Lockdown Podcasts at Gmail.
00:49:39.000 I want to know about the Stargate.
00:49:39.000 Are you trying to scoop Tim Cass news right now?
00:49:41.000 I'm real mad.
00:49:43.000 On a Tim Cass IROP podcast?
00:49:45.000 Email Tim Cass news first.
00:49:48.000 Oh, okay, he's giving up the scoop.
00:49:51.000 As it should be.
00:49:51.000 Hannah-Claire Brimlow.
00:49:53.000 Email her.
00:49:53.000 Yeah, find me on the internet.
00:49:55.000 Let me know.
00:49:56.000 Get on the Discord, Anna.
00:49:57.000 Oh, no.
00:49:58.000 Don't worry.
00:49:58.000 I will.
00:49:59.000 I will.
00:49:59.000 I made Chris Burtman and Brett many, many promises that I would get on the Discord by the end of last week.
00:50:04.000 Don't promise us.
00:50:04.000 Me?
00:50:05.000 Burtman, maybe.
00:50:06.000 No.
00:50:06.000 No, Brett McDonald.
00:50:07.000 Oh, OK.
00:50:08.000 You're not the only Brett at this company.
00:50:09.000 I always forget about that.
00:50:10.000 How many Chris?
00:50:11.000 We have three Chrises, right? 0.77
00:50:12.000 Four.
00:50:13.000 Four?
00:50:14.000 Too many Chris's.
00:50:15.000 Four Chris's.
00:50:15.000 That's how my job is.
00:50:16.000 An embarrassment of Chris's.
00:50:17.000 Yeah, and two Bretts.
00:50:18.000 Four Chris's?
00:50:20.000 We've had multiple Andrews or Andy.
00:50:21.000 It's just, it's a lot.
00:50:22.000 Everyone needs to get new names.
00:50:25.000 I have said repeatedly I would join the Discord by the end of the week, so I'm going to say it again, but I'll say it more publicly.
00:50:30.000 She said she was going to finish the Fast and Furious movie for us too.
00:50:32.000 I don't even know where Discord is.
00:50:34.000 I don't know how to find it.
00:50:35.000 You guys don't understand.
00:50:36.000 I'm boomer tech over here.
00:50:38.000 Top Lobster is texting me relentlessly, telling me to bring up Nephilim during this alien conversation.
00:50:43.000 I don't know what the Nephilim are, bro!
00:50:45.000 Who's the fourth Chris you're referring to?
00:50:48.000 I might be wrong, but Chris who drives, Chris who edits, you're Chris, and then Chris Bertman.
00:50:56.000 There you go.
00:50:56.000 That's four, yeah.
00:50:57.000 Four.
00:50:57.000 I thought it was four.
00:50:59.000 I organize Secret Santa so I know these things.
00:51:02.000 I'm very aware of everyone's names.
00:51:04.000 Well, that's too many.
00:51:05.000 We should change their names.
00:51:07.000 Someone's Topher from now on.
00:51:11.000 Burtman can be Topher.
00:51:14.000 I feel like Chris Burtman can't because he's got this like cult code.
00:51:17.000 But he goes by Burtman.
00:51:18.000 He's forsaken Chris for Burt so he can be Topher Burtman.
00:51:22.000 Yeah.
00:51:23.000 Well, no, he's Burtman so now we can mix up a different one.
00:51:26.000 Yeah.
00:51:27.000 So anyways, I'm going to go on the Discord and moderate this discussion.
00:51:30.000 I'm still not going to go on Discord.
00:51:31.000 I don't care what Hank Laird is.
00:51:32.000 I'm not going to be on Discord.
00:51:33.000 I have to find it.
00:51:34.000 Where is it?
00:51:34.000 I respect that.
00:51:35.000 We'll get you signed up.
00:51:36.000 We'll get the Tim Gasker in there.
00:51:37.000 Discord was the first time I felt like a really, really old person.
00:51:41.000 Yeah.
00:51:41.000 I downloaded it and I was like, I can't figure out anything.
00:51:45.000 So it's an app, not a website?
00:51:46.000 I really have no idea what's happening.
00:51:47.000 Yeah, it's a web app.
00:51:49.000 Web app, yeah.
00:51:49.000 Web app?
00:51:50.000 You kids and your technology.
00:51:53.000 All right, RJ.
00:51:53.000 Thanks for calling in, buddy.
00:51:55.000 Thanks, guys.
00:51:56.000 Yep.
00:51:56.000 Cheers, man.
00:51:58.000 See you around.
00:52:00.000 And, Clint, nice hanging out.
00:52:01.000 It's been a blast.
00:52:02.000 It's been a blast, man.
00:52:03.000 I just, I gotta remind your beautiful audience, we will have on Owen Benjamin 48 hours from now on Tower Gang.
00:52:10.000 It's gonna be insane.
00:52:12.000 Check it out.
00:52:13.000 All right.
00:52:13.000 Best of luck.
00:52:14.000 And for everybody who is a member, you guys rock!
00:52:17.000 Thank you all so much for everything.
00:52:18.000 We want to put up the work request thing so we can start just involving you guys and actually, I don't know, getting you paid, getting you jobs, because we certainly need the help and we're willing to pay.
00:52:29.000 So hopefully that's all coming soon.
00:52:31.000 And thanks for hanging out.
