Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Texas GOP Greenlights ARREST WARRANTS For Dems Who FLED State | Timcast IRL

00:01:33.000 Over the weekend, Texas Democrats fled the state in order to avoid a quorum because the Republican efforts are looking to do some early redistricting.

00:01:43.000 Now, the Texas House has greenlit arrest warrants for the Democrats who fled, and Democrat governors across the country are looking to get into this with Kathy Hochel having an opinion.

00:01:56.000 She said that New York is exploring every option to redraw our state congressional lines to counteract Texas's new map.

00:02:04.000 So we're going to get into that.

00:02:05.000 Benjamin Netanyahu, who has decided on a full-on occupation of Gaza Strip.

00:02:09.000 Now, honestly, this is not a surprise.

00:02:12.000 Ever since October 7th, it has been the most likely scenario that Hamas was not going to be the authority in Gaza anymore, and it was going to be Israel having to have some kind of occupation.

00:02:25.000 But we'll talk about it.

00:02:26.000 Elizabeth Warren has confirmed that Zoron Mendomni's message of, you know, from each according to their ability to each according to their need is the new Democrat message.

00:02:38.000 So we'll get into that.

00:02:40.000 We'll talk about the New York Post is looking to expand West, and we might talk a little bit about Alex Stein's antics on Capitol Hill today.

00:02:50.000 But before we get into that, why don't you head on over to castru.com and buy yourself some coffee?

00:02:58.000 We've got a whole bunch of things available.

00:03:13.000 And of course, we've got Ian's Graphene Dream, as always.

00:03:17.000 They're available in K-Cups now, so you can go on over there and pick that up.

00:03:20.000 Appalachian Knights is the top seller all the time.

00:03:23.000 I think that it outsells Ian's graphene dream, but just barely because everybody loves Ian.

00:04:22.000 Yeah.

00:04:22.000 So I'm Ellie Bufkin.

00:04:24.000 I'm currently the Deputy Communications Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, but I'm a journalist.

00:04:30.000 I've worked around DC, New York for Fox News, for the Federalists, the Washington Examiner Town Hall for the last 10 years or so.

00:04:39.000 So kind of started with Trump back in the day.

00:04:41.000 So yeah.

00:04:42.000 Awesome.

00:04:42.000 Thanks for coming.

00:04:43.000 Shane is here.

00:04:44.000 Hello, hello.

00:04:45.000 I am Shane Cashman, host of Inverted World Live.

00:04:47.000 Tonight, I'll be running out of here around 9:40 to go live on my show on YouTube and Rumble.

00:04:51.000 We're going to have a big night.

00:04:52.000 We're going to talk about a giant blob that's underground moving towards New York City.

00:04:57.000 Of what?

00:04:58.000 I don't know yet.

00:04:59.000 We're going to find out tonight.

00:05:00.000 We got a 30-year-old frozen embryo that was just born.

00:05:04.000 We're definitely going to talk about that tonight.

00:05:05.000 And a nuclear reactor on the moon, if it's real.

00:05:09.000 How are you?

00:05:10.000 Doing well.

00:05:10.000 It's producer Tate Brown, occasional host of the morning show whenever Tim's voice is shot.

00:05:17.000 So did that today.

00:05:18.000 I had a lot of fun.

00:05:18.000 Good to see everyone again.

00:05:20.000 Well, we're going to get right into it.

00:05:20.000 All right.

00:05:22.000 This is breaking from the post-millennial Texas House green lights arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to avoid redistricting vote.

00:05:32.000 Texas Democrat lawmakers have defied Governor Greg Abbott's deadline to return to the state legislature to allow a vote on redistricting congressional boundaries.

00:05:42.000 As a result, Abbott has ordered for those members to be arrested.

00:05:46.000 Abbott warned late Sunday that he would pursue legal action to remove the lawmakers from office if they failed to return to Austin by Monday, August 4th, 2025, to vote on the proposal.

00:05:56.000 Abbott on Monday also directed the Texas Rangers to investigate fleeing Texas House Democrats for potential bribery and any other potential legal violations connected to their refusal to appear for a quorum, conduct business, and cast votes, Abbott said.

00:06:12.000 That investigation should extend to anyone who aided or abetted such potential crimes.

00:06:17.000 Abbott's pressure follows a walkout by Democrats seeking to deny the Texas House a quorum, the minimum number of legislators required to conduct business.

00:06:25.000 By leaving the state, Democrats effectively froze all legislative activity during a special session set to expire later this month.

00:06:32.000 The primary objective was to halt a GOP-drawn congressional map that could secure five additional U.S. House seats for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

00:06:41.000 All right.

00:06:41.000 So normally the redistricting happens after the census, which is scheduled for 2030, I believe.

00:06:51.000 So the fact that the Republicans are looking to do redistricting now, it is early, clearly, but I don't know if there's any kind of historical precedent for this.

00:07:02.000 Can you actually speak to this?

00:07:03.000 Yeah, I can't name the exact instances, but it's not unprecedented and it's not federally prohibited.

00:07:08.000 It's unusual.

00:07:09.000 It's unorthodox.

00:07:10.000 And this is kind of what they're standing on right now.

00:07:13.000 But certainly when, you know, in my experience and what I've read about, when there's a huge population shift, which there has been in Texas, especially since 2020, we're talking about the pandemic.

00:07:23.000 We're talking about people fleeing blue states like New York and California primarily and heading to Texas.

00:07:29.000 This is obviously something that would be advantageous for the Republican Party.

00:07:33.000 They're looking.

00:07:33.000 They see that there's a lot more red that there was before.

00:07:37.000 And quite frankly, if we're talking about a Democratic Republic, then the people who live there should be represented fairly by their congressional map.

00:07:45.000 And that's what they're going for.

00:07:46.000 2030 is quite a long ways away.

00:07:49.000 And they want to give the people their proper representation in Congress.

00:07:54.000 There's a lot of argument that I hear from the Democrats that are like, oh, well, this is not right.

00:08:01.000 There shouldn't be gerrymandering.

00:08:03.000 And gerrymandering is so bad and such a big deal.

00:08:06.000 But yet, gerrymandering has been the norm literally since this third president, right?

00:08:12.000 Madison's vice president, I forget his last name was Jerry.

00:08:17.000 And that's where the term gerrymandering comes from.

00:08:21.000 This is something that the Democrats have actually mastered and they've really squeezed as much of the juice out of the process of gerrymandering as they possibly can.

00:08:35.000 So this is a reaction to a change in the demographic or in the population by the Republicans.

00:08:43.000 And the Democrats are really in a position where they can't do anything about it.

00:08:46.000 Isn't that the case?

00:08:47.000 It is the case.

00:08:48.000 And unfortunately, their hands are tied because they know that the maps are going to be drawn against them because that's who lives in the state. 0.95

00:08:55.000 Now, it's extremely hypocritical. 0.65

00:08:56.000 If you look at any blue state map, Illinois is a great example of gerrymandering gone crazy. 0.78

00:09:04.000 New York is another great example.

00:09:06.000 Why would Jerry Nadler's district be in South Brooklyn and then also on the upper west side?

00:09:11.000 It's kind of wild, but they know what they're doing.

00:09:14.000 So for them to come out and say, this is unconstitutional and this is wrong, it's like we need to remember who the pot is and who the kettle is in this situation.

00:09:23.000 It is how it's been done, as you said, for quite a long time.

00:09:27.000 And it's part of the game.

00:09:29.000 Is it fair?

00:09:30.000 I mean, I think that we can all look at times, depending on your own political stripes, where you would say that's not fair, absolutely, because it's going to work against me.

00:09:38.000 But at the end of the day, and I think that even when, you know, as a conservative, even when I'm in the defensive and I see that there's a lot of blue people, you see a state like New York, it's sad that it's become what it's become, but it is there. 0.91

00:09:51.000 They have that representation.

00:09:52.000 They have the voters to support that kind of thing.

00:09:54.000 And Texas has the same thing now.

00:09:56.000 Yeah.

00:09:56.000 And to be fair, it's not that just the Democrats have gerrymandered districts.

00:10:01.000 It's something the Republicans have done as well, which is part of the reason why I think it stems from the fact that it is such a foundational piece of American politics, the fact that changing the district to better produce the results that you want, you want to see is something that has been happening for almost as long as we've had the Republic.

00:10:25.000 I mean, what do you think, Shane?

00:10:26.000 Do you think this is something that we can actually expect reasonable discourse over?

00:10:34.000 Is it going to be just people running around with their heads on reasonable discourse?

00:10:37.000 I'm asking.

00:10:38.000 I'm asking.

00:10:38.000 With these people?

00:10:39.000 No, they're screeching because they're not in power.

00:10:39.000 No.

00:10:42.000 And I think they have to yield this power right now.

00:10:45.000 I think Texas is turning purple.

00:10:48.000 It might be purple, right?

00:10:49.000 So they do what they have to do.

00:10:51.000 You're talking about New York, my old state.

00:10:53.000 Those people in upstate New York are not represented.

00:10:57.000 The city changes the entire vote.

00:10:59.000 So it feels like when you're living there on upstate New York, anything north of the city, there's pockets of blue here and there, but it's completely wasted.

00:11:05.000 Your vote means nothing because New York City ruins it.

00:11:09.000 But yeah, it's another victim of redistricting and everything.

00:11:11.000 So I don't, reasonable discourse, I don't think you can expect anything reasonable from the left and the right to some degree as well.

00:11:17.000 Because right now we're like Hokle's literally calling us a war.

00:11:20.000 She's using that kind of language. 1.00

00:11:22.000 So I'm not surprised that they're going to act this way.

00:11:25.000 That's what they do when they're freaking out.

00:11:27.000 I mean, you got to play the game.

00:11:27.000 She's right.

00:11:28.000 I mean, like the GOP, like you look at North Carolina, that's probably like one of the worst examples of gerrymandering in the country.

00:11:33.000 And that was us.

00:11:34.000 That was the GOP.

00:11:35.000 But it's like, yeah, you got to play the game because if you put your tools down, they're not.

00:11:38.000 And they feel the same the other way around.

00:11:41.000 It's pretty annoying seeing some Republicans that are like, guys, guys, we're the party of principles.

00:11:47.000 We can't, we can't, we can't fall into this trap.

00:11:49.000 Principles.

00:11:50.000 Like, we're going to principle our way into destruction.

00:11:52.000 Principles are way to this.

00:11:54.000 Principles lose, period.

00:11:55.000 I mean, if you're too principled to play the game that's being played, you will lose.

00:12:00.000 The people that want to be left alone will lose to the people that want to actually exercise power every single time.

00:12:07.000 And I see it all the time, especially as a reformed libertarian.

00:12:12.000 The libertarians love to say, well, I'm a libertarian and you don't do that.

00:12:17.000 We don't use the government for this and we don't use the government for that.

00:12:19.000 And I would love if that were the reality that we live in.

00:12:23.000 But we don't live in that reality.

00:12:24.000 We live in the world where if you don't exercise power when you have access to power, you can guarantee that your political foes are going to exercise power.

00:12:34.000 And that is going to possibly destroy your way of life.

00:12:38.000 And they're not afraid to use that.

00:12:39.000 Not at all.

00:12:40.000 They love using that power.

00:12:41.000 That's why they're screeching so crazy right now because they're out of power to some degree and they will lose.

00:12:45.000 They're losing their minds.

00:12:46.000 They're going to rile up their base to make it sound like this is worse than Pearl Harbor.

00:12:50.000 This is D-Day all over again.

00:12:51.000 That's the language they constantly use to scare people.

00:12:55.000 But one second, we've got this video from Texas Representative in hold on one second.

00:13:00.000 Here we go.

00:13:01.000 85 ayes in six nays, the motion prevails.

00:13:04.000 The sergeant at arms and any officers appointed by her are directed to send for all absentees whose attendance is not excused for the purposes of securing and maintaining their attendance under warrant of arrest if necessary until further order of the house.

00:13:19.000 Members, under the rules, while the house is under a call, any member who wishes to leave the hall must have written permission of the speaker.

00:13:26.000 The chair is providing written permission to be entered in the journal for each member registered as present on today's roll call to leave the chamber and return tomorrow at 1 p.m.

00:13:36.000 Please return at the appointed time.

00:13:39.000 Based.

00:13:40.000 So the gavel's great.

00:13:42.000 Gavel's based in the little Jeopardy Bill. 0.95

00:13:44.000 It's like clownish.

00:13:46.000 I mean, this is a great example of exercising power when you have it.

00:13:49.000 If they follow through, of course.

00:13:51.000 It's one thing to make remarks from the floor of the state house.

00:13:55.000 It's different to actually have things in motion and actually happening.

00:14:00.000 But I personally would love to see the Texas delegate, the Texas representatives that left.

00:14:06.000 I'd love to see him get arrested.

00:14:07.000 I think it'd be civil.

00:14:08.000 So it'd be some kind of slap on the wrist.

00:14:10.000 No one's going to actually spend any time in jail.

00:14:12.000 Agreed, but they're also going to use it if they're smart.

00:14:14.000 It's good PR for them.

00:14:16.000 Getting arrested now, politicians getting arrested, they're mugshot.

00:14:19.000 It's great PR.

00:14:20.000 I don't know if that PR will help them in their path the way it helped Trump with his path, his mugshot, but they see that as a way of moving forward.

00:14:29.000 Yeah, we had Tony Ortiz on the show today.

00:14:31.000 He current revolts like a Texas paper exclusively.

00:14:34.000 He's talking about exactly what you're saying is that, okay, yeah, it's going to be great for us, but also Trump's the big boogeyman for them.

00:14:34.000 Oh, yeah.

00:14:40.000 And so being prosecuted by Trump is going to be such a play for you if you're base.

00:14:46.000 Does this turn into, I mean, does this activate the base in the same way that Trump's mugshot activated the conservative base?

00:14:57.000 I think they've lost a lot of capital in that.

00:14:59.000 I think that four Years ago, yes.

00:15:01.000 I think during the first Trump administration, yes.

00:15:03.000 And in fact, they did this four years ago in 2021 over a voting ID law.

00:15:07.000 And the threats came, it kind of fizzled out.

00:15:11.000 They returned, they voted.

00:15:12.000 It was over.

00:15:13.000 I mean, and it's, and even then, they got more attention than, and I remember, you know, I was, I think I was working at Fox then and we covered it and it was like, oh, ha ha ha, you know, like these guys like leaving town and camping out and they're in Illinois or wherever they were.

00:15:24.000 Yeah, D.C. Yeah.

00:15:26.000 And, you know, they did it.

00:15:27.000 They did it before long ago.

00:15:28.000 In like 2003, they did it twice over redistricting.

00:15:31.000 So this is a card that they know how to play.

00:15:33.000 And I think unfortunately, they're not going to see the return.

00:15:36.000 I mean, I could be wrong, but I think you're right.

00:15:37.000 I think gerrymandering doesn't rile up their base as much as abortion does.

00:15:41.000 Well, also, like, this is not a good gauge of base either because the only reason this happens so much in Texas, this really only happens in Texas is because for a quorum, you need two-thirds to be president, where pretty much every other state's half.

00:15:41.000 Right.

00:15:53.000 So they could pull this card basically, like over, you know, if they changed at lunchtime or something.

00:15:57.000 They could, you know, beto-work thing, though.

00:16:00.000 Yeah, someone I really need to hear from.

00:16:01.000 They're eating the Illinois dirt, it seemed like they're like, yeah, it's probably.

00:16:04.000 Beto'Rourke heard that the Democrats were running and he's like, I'm running too.

00:16:07.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:08.000 He's in it, man.

00:16:09.000 He's eating the dirt up in Chicago.

00:16:10.000 It's got like casings in it.

00:16:12.000 He was, he was dying to do anything at all to be a public figure.

00:16:16.000 He tried everything, Senate, state rep, no, and he lost everything.

00:16:20.000 And I can't.

00:16:21.000 He won the first time.

00:16:22.000 I mean, he was in Congress and he gave that up.

00:16:24.000 His ambitions got too big.

00:16:27.000 They gave David Hogg more power than they gave me.

00:16:29.000 They did, didn't they?

00:16:30.000 That's brutal.

00:16:31.000 That's brutal.

00:16:32.000 That is interesting.

00:16:33.000 You've seen a lot of white people pretend to be black, but when have you ever seen a white person LARP as Hispanic?

00:16:37.000 I mean, I mean, Alec Baldwin's wife and that.

00:16:39.000 Yeah, yeah, hilarious.

00:16:40.000 And that's it.

00:16:41.000 That's like the two big ones.

00:16:44.000 The ice hits tougher these days.

00:16:47.000 It's more dangerous.

00:16:48.000 Yeah, you got to watch this.

00:16:49.000 Oh, no, my name's Roberts.

00:16:51.000 I don't know what you're talking about, man.

00:16:54.000 Why don't we go to this story?

00:16:55.000 Kathy Hochel says that New York is exploring every option to redraw our state congressional lines to counteract Texas's new map.

00:17:05.000 New York Governor Kathy Hochel hosted Texas Democrat lawmakers at the state capitol on Wednesday after the lawmakers fled their state in order to deny Republican lawmakers.

00:17:14.000 The quorum needed to pass a redistricting proposal.

00:17:17.000 During her speech, Hochel said that she and other New York lawmakers were exploring options to conduct redistricting in the state to counteract redistricting in Texas.

00:17:27.000 I have a news flash for Republicans in Texas.

00:17:30.000 This is no longer the Wild West.

00:17:32.000 We're not going to tolerate our democracy being stolen in a modern-day stage ghost by a bunch of law-breaking cowboys.

00:17:41.000 She's just laying it on there.

00:17:46.000 Americans don't want a system that's stacked against them. 0.78

00:17:48.000 They believe in fairness.

00:17:50.000 It's fundamental.

00:17:50.000 And I'll tell you this: they're done with the chaos.

00:17:53.000 They're done with the cruelty.

00:17:54.000 And I would say they're ready to vote Republicans out of power in Washington, certainly in the upcoming 2026 elections.

00:18:01.000 Are you sure about that, Kathy?

00:18:02.000 Circle the wagon.

00:18:04.000 No, I'm surprised she didn't go there.

00:18:06.000 It's funny because up until she says to vote out Republicans, it sounds like she's describing the Trump base, right?

00:18:12.000 I mean, it actually exactly describes like what happened and why Trump came into power in the first place.

00:18:18.000 Because people do feel like they're disenfranchised.

00:18:20.000 People do feel like they're not being listened to.

00:18:21.000 And that's exactly why this is the way that it is. 1.00

00:18:24.000 And this lady is a psychopath. 1.00

00:18:26.000 Let's see what she's got. 0.99

00:18:27.000 Like, I fled New York as she was in a church saying, we need you to be our apostles.

00:18:31.000 I have news flash for Republicans.

00:18:32.000 Let's see what she has to say.

00:18:34.000 Jeez.

00:18:35.000 Now I have news flash for Republicans in Texas.

00:18:38.000 This is no longer the Wild West.

00:18:41.000 We're not going to tolerate our democracy being stolen in a modern-day stage coach hoist by a bunch of law-breaking cowboys.

00:18:49.000 Yeah.

00:18:50.000 Making sound awesome.

00:18:51.000 Americans don't want a system that's stacked against them. 0.78

00:18:53.000 She didn't write.

00:18:54.000 They believe in fairness.

00:18:54.000 It's fundamental.

00:18:55.000 No, we don't.

00:18:57.000 I'll tell you this.

00:18:58.000 They're done with the chaos.

00:18:59.000 They're done with the cruelty.

00:19:02.000 And I would say they're ready to vote Republicans out of power in Washington, certainly in the upcoming 2026 elections.

00:19:09.000 All right.

00:19:09.000 So this is four minutes long.

00:19:12.000 They made her in the same laboratory they made Pelosi.

00:19:14.000 It's just like a newer version.

00:19:15.000 I never realized that they looked similar.

00:19:18.000 It's just like Westworld.

00:19:19.000 She's just like the newer modern world. 0.88

00:19:20.000 Exactly.

00:19:21.000 They do this thing where they have to larp like they're working class. 0.99

00:19:24.000 So the speech writers look so obnoxious.

00:19:25.000 Like, oh, yeah, this is how people talk out in the country.

00:19:28.000 And it's like the worst.

00:19:29.000 And then the worst is on the Republican side when they make all the guys try to emulate Trump.

00:19:33.000 Like they did with the Santus is they would like, because Trump, you know, he's like, I'm going to rough them up.

00:19:36.000 And everyone's like, yeah. 0.98

00:19:37.000 And then they had the Santus come out and they're like, we're going to slit their throats.

00:19:41.000 I was like, oh, what is wrong with you? 0.87

00:19:44.000 I'm the same thing.

00:19:45.000 They're a bunch of swashbuckling cowboy. 0.90

00:19:48.000 Yeah, that sounds sick. 0.93

00:19:48.000 She talks about engines in the next we're going to scalp them. 0.93

00:19:54.000 That was an Indian. 0.98

00:19:56.000 The only person who can pull this off is Trump, though.

00:19:58.000 Nobody can exactly explain why.

00:20:00.000 It's like, why is Ricky Gervais the only person who can make age jokes work?

00:20:03.000 Like, nobody knows.

00:20:04.000 It's the same thing.

00:20:05.000 Like, only Trump can talk like this. 0.99

00:20:06.000 Everybody else sounds masochistic and terrifying.

00:20:10.000 And she's like, Americans care about fairness.

00:20:12.000 I'm like, are you new here?

00:20:14.000 This is a country of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

00:20:17.000 I will switch up on everyone if it means a million dollars.

00:20:20.000 You can't be fair.

00:20:22.000 I mean, that's the argument that I make all the time.

00:20:23.000 Like, Americans care about kitchen table issues.

00:20:26.000 They care about, can I pay my bills?

00:20:29.000 Can I afford to get my kids into the school that I wanted to go in?

00:20:33.000 Like, everybody cares about their wallet.

00:20:36.000 And everything else that they say they care about is tertiary to their wallet.

00:20:40.000 Even now, with Gen X being favorable to socialist policies, they're not favorable to actual communism because they don't conceptualize actual communism.

00:20:54.000 They think I'm going to get free stuff.

00:20:56.000 And that's good because I can't afford to pay my bills.

00:21:00.000 If the average Gen Z person had $100,000 in the bank now, they wouldn't feel that way, right? 0.91

00:21:09.000 Like they wouldn't feel like, oh, I'm favorable to confiscatory tax policy because they'd be like, that's going to take my stuff.

00:21:19.000 And so the idea that it's somehow baked into young people to actually want a socialist president or socialist policies.

00:21:29.000 No, they want to be able to pay their bills.

00:21:32.000 They want to feel like they can afford to live.

00:21:35.000 They want to be able to pay their rent.

00:21:37.000 And now, because of the past 15 years since the economic crisis, because of the way that the federal government and the Federal Reserve has been handling monetary policy, because of those things, it's coming down on Gen Z. Like they're the ones that are paying for it. 1.00

00:21:53.000 And it's something that, again, I'm a reform libertarian, but like back in the day, I was the guy that was screaming about this is going to come back to bite America in the ass. 0.99

00:22:04.000 This is going to be a massive problem. 0.99

00:22:06.000 And now it is.

00:22:08.000 I think the younger crowd subconsciously embraces capitalism while trying to embrace a false idea of socialism, communism, you know, because they're out there protesting with all their technology that they can afford and do the things they think they can do at home, like their poetry books, but they don't understand the endgame for socialism, communism, feeding off of them, owning Them, you know, turning them into slaves.

00:22:32.000 They see this false idea of a paradise that they've been lied to about.

00:22:36.000 And I think that, you know, I mean, a lot of it is a lack of understanding and a lack of just intellect about what capitalism, what socialism is, what Marxism is.

00:22:36.000 I agree with you.

00:22:45.000 But, you know, more than that, they're kind of conditioned to be comfortable.

00:22:48.000 And I've heard, you know, you guys talk about this on the show for weeks now.

00:22:52.000 There's just a lack of interest in bettering yourself.

00:22:54.000 So this idea of getting free stuff is just kind of like tacking on to the fact that I can live on the bare minimum, whatever that is, and I'll just take whatever is free and I'll learn to live with it.

00:23:03.000 I'll learn to live with 16 dudes and I'll just never have kids and I'll never save any money and that's fine with me.

00:23:08.000 And there's this mentality.

00:23:09.000 And I don't even think it's limited to Gen Z or Gen Alpha.

00:23:13.000 I mean, I think that there's people in my age group who are suffering through this too.

00:23:17.000 So I'm not really sure what the solution is, but they have them.

00:23:20.000 Like people like Hookle have them right where they want them.

00:23:22.000 You know, they're ready for the free stuff without actually putting too much thought into what it means.

00:23:27.000 I mean, most of the time people don't associate the free stuff with all of the strings that are attached, but nothing that comes from the government comes without strings.

00:23:27.000 Yeah.

00:23:37.000 And you can actually see it the way that the government treats the federal government treats the states, right?

00:23:41.000 So you get states that have all this, you know, federal money for, say, roads, right?

00:23:47.000 For interstate systems.

00:23:48.000 Well, to get that money, you have to do things that whatever administration is in power says.

00:23:55.000 And there's the generalized ones, like you have to have your alcohol sales, the age limit has to be 21.

00:24:03.000 It can't be lower.

00:24:04.000 And if you lower it, the federal government will stop giving you money for roads, right?

00:24:09.000 Like that, that was the way that they got nationwide 21 is the age for the drinking age, right?

00:24:16.000 But there's other things that depend on who the actual president is.

00:24:20.000 And Donald Trump is doing this all the time.

00:24:22.000 Whether or not you like these policies or whatever, Donald Trump adds strings to federal funding all the time.

00:24:30.000 So the idea that you get anything for free is a mirage.

00:24:34.000 There's always strings attached, and the government's always going to be like, you have to do this if you want to get this.

00:24:40.000 In fact, the Treasury Department right now accepts PayPal and Venmo.

00:24:44.000 If anyone has any extra cash for some reason that you want to help with the national debt, send it their way.

00:24:49.000 I'm sure you don't need it.

00:24:50.000 That'd be kind of, that's actually kind of base.

00:24:51.000 I'm going to do that.

00:24:54.000 Get a head start on my taxes.

00:24:55.000 You never get anything you don't ask for.

00:24:57.000 That's not a head start on your taxes.

00:24:59.000 This is just a gift to the government.

00:25:00.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:00.000 I love the government.

00:25:01.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:25:02.000 No tax deductible.

00:25:04.000 With Zoomers, it's just, because I'm a Zoomer, we're just so nihilistic about how broken everything is that it's like you kind of have to have like a radical ideology. 0.96

00:25:12.000 It's like being a moderate is like so like gagly gay. 0.94

00:25:16.000 It's boomer coded. 0.91

00:25:17.000 Well, it's like it's boomer coded and it's like, so you know, you're like hanging out with like other Zoomers and you're like, oh, you're like a paleo-Marxist Leninist. 0.90

00:25:24.000 Oh, I'm like a radical like monarchist.

00:25:25.000 Dude, like, tell me what all your thing.

00:25:26.000 Like, what's your radical ideology?

00:25:28.000 We're all on lists.

00:25:29.000 That's the problem.

00:25:29.000 It's all the Zoomer waffing.

00:25:31.000 Yeah, that's what it is.

00:25:32.000 Yeah.

00:25:32.000 We're all, we're all on lists now.

00:25:34.000 I think we're all just waiting for like the political flags, right?

00:25:36.000 So like we can like add ourselves to like stripes and letters.

00:25:39.000 And yeah.

00:25:41.000 I mean, the problem with the demand for radical politics is there's real world consequences that honestly they don't like that they don't think about, right?

00:25:54.000 Like, you know, there's, there's, it's not like radical politics are actually new.

00:26:00.000 There's no radical politics.

00:26:02.000 There's, there's old politics that are radical now that people are talking about, which is, you know, whether it be the, the, again, the Zoomer Waffen or whether you're talking about the actual communists, you know, the Marxist-Leninists and stuff.

00:26:16.000 That's radical, but it's not new.

00:26:19.000 It's just, it's stuff that's been tried before and hasn't produced positive results.

00:26:24.000 And a whole few generations learned during the summer of love that violence in burning down cities does have results in their favor.

00:26:32.000 And like you're like, well, former vice president could donate money for your bail.

00:26:36.000 How did it actually work in their favor?

00:26:38.000 Did those people temporarily?

00:26:40.000 Because I don't think that I would say that they didn't get anything actually beneficial out of it.

00:26:45.000 Maybe they didn't have to go to jail and pay like the price that you'd expect for being violent.

00:26:50.000 You mean personally they got anything or societally?

00:26:53.000 Because I feel like their society for a bit of time bent over for them.

00:26:53.000 Either way.

00:26:58.000 They also corporations did.

00:26:59.000 And they got a sugar high.

00:27:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:01.000 Like I don't think it was there was a longevity to it, but they got what they wanted, but it didn't last.

00:27:06.000 I think there was longevity.

00:27:07.000 I think they had, from their perspective, they advanced the football because they pushed the Democrat Party in a more radical and radical way.

00:27:13.000 I mean, okay, yeah, society reeled back with the Trump election, but the Democrat Party's forever changed because of 2020.

00:27:18.000 Yeah.

00:27:18.000 I mean, all the politicians, I mean, we had politicians crying at George Floyd's funeral with his gold casket.

00:27:24.000 We had the NBA doing their thing for it.

00:27:25.000 Like everyone kind of bent over.

00:27:27.000 I don't think it's going anywhere either.

00:27:27.000 Like the Democrat Party, that is still, if anything, the base is actually mad that they're not radical enough.

00:27:32.000 So then maybe, so maybe now's a good time to go on to this story here.

00:27:36.000 From the post-millennial, Elizabeth Warren confirms Zohran Mamdani's message is the Democratic message.

00:27:43.000 Senator Elizabeth Warren joined New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on when saying when I think that means Wednesday saying that the candidate socialist platform is the democratic message.

00:27:55.000 When someone stands up and says, I will lead this city by making it more affordable.

00:28:00.000 And here are my plans, real plans, plans to deliver on childcare, plans to deliver on housing, plans to deliver, we're going to experiment.

00:28:08.000 We're going to try things on groceries.

00:28:10.000 That is the Democratic message.

00:28:12.000 Warren joined Mamdani at the DC 37 union building to express support for his universal child care proposal per the New York Post.

00:28:21.000 For me, New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we're here.

00:28:35.000 See, whether or not people want to admit it, the idea of affordability is something that's going to resonate with young people because they can't afford stuff now.

00:28:46.000 So even though this is the policies that he's actually talking about are horrible, they're policies that will take New York backwards.

00:28:58.000 They're going to destroy investment.

00:29:00.000 They're going to probably destroy people's ability to actually get food.

00:29:04.000 If you have municipal grocery stores, they're going to end up with empty shelves because there's other places where you can get eggs.

00:29:13.000 They're not going to be able to compete and they're going to have to try to affect the other grocery stores to be able to compete.

00:29:20.000 These are all, you know, the policies like rent control are terrible.

00:29:24.000 They end up making the places that people have rent control.

00:29:28.000 They make those places into slums because nobody wants to invest to fix those places when things break down.

00:29:34.000 They're all destructive policies.

00:29:36.000 But when they're sold to the electorate as this is to make things more affordable and the electorate cannot afford things, they're going to say, yeah, that's a good, that's a good deal for me.

00:29:49.000 You know, I mean, I agree.

00:29:52.000 And these people like AOC, they don't even want you to work.

00:29:55.000 You know, like I remember, this just reminded me of that time, was it Amazon moving into her district and she down and she voted it away?

00:30:01.000 Right.

00:30:01.000 Yeah.

00:30:01.000 And that was going to bring in a ton of jobs, but this will be more appealing.

00:30:04.000 I'm sure there were people who were very mad about that in that district.

00:30:06.000 Yeah, people in her district.

00:30:07.000 Right.

00:30:08.000 They were yelling at her, right?

00:30:09.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:30:09.000 They were pissed.

00:30:10.000 Here's the, oh, sorry.

00:30:11.000 No, no, no, go for it.

00:30:12.000 No, but here's the thing that I truly predict.

00:30:14.000 And having lived in New York many, many years at this point and seen so many of these policies actually come into play.

00:30:20.000 You know, I think a lot of people are predicting, oh, if he wins, everyone's going to leave.

00:30:23.000 Well, first of all, most everybody who's going to leave already left.

00:30:25.000 Like most people who, anybody who's still there has to be there.

00:30:28.000 I mean, that's the only reason for it at this point.

00:30:31.000 I generally think these policies are harmful.

00:30:33.000 And anybody who lives in New York long enough is going to realize that they're not going to get anything for free.

00:30:39.000 They're not going to be able to overcome the incredible rent problem that they already have in New York.

00:30:44.000 And I'm sorry, but $15 an hour is not a living wage.

00:30:48.000 So I'm not sure what world you live in.

00:30:49.000 And coming from the restaurant industry, 15 years and most of it in New York, that was extremely harmful.

00:30:55.000 And the result was that most people lost their jobs.

00:30:58.000 Not that they actually were able to afford their rent.

00:31:00.000 Some of the waitresses in Manhattan do all right. 1.00

00:31:02.000 And now with the tips, maybe.

00:31:03.000 You know, I wonder how the tips are going to help them.

00:31:05.000 Except they don't because there's only half of the amount that they used to be, and they don't get tipped because the service is terrible because there's not enough people on the floor because they have to pay people benefits.

00:31:14.000 They have to pay people these exorbitant minimum wages.

00:31:17.000 Restaurants operate on this like sliver margin.

00:31:20.000 I mean, I knew people who work in restaurants and hotels, and those hotels were taken to give in to illegals. 0.99

00:31:24.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:31:25.000 Like they lost their jobs and these guys got debit cards.

00:31:27.000 Most of the restaurants that I worked for in New York lost their property because of that.

00:31:31.000 They were all in hotels.

00:31:33.000 It was Danny Meyer.

00:31:34.000 He had Myelino and Marta and the Redwood Hotel and the Gramercy Park Hotel.

00:31:34.000 This is very famous.

00:31:39.000 And both of those restaurants are gone because of that.

00:31:41.000 Not because of the pandemic, but because of migrants in the hotels. 0.84

00:31:45.000 Insane.

00:31:45.000 These are what the policies actually cause.

00:31:47.000 Yeah.

00:31:48.000 And I can't wait for when, not that I want, because Trump's the guy.

00:31:51.000 He should be Caesar back to the round of policies.

00:31:53.000 But when Trump's out of the way, I can't wait for the knife fight in the Democrat Party between the DSA and the old stock Democrats, so to speak, because I mean, there's going to be one side has all the money and then the other side has all the passion.

00:32:05.000 And it's going to be so fun watching this.

00:32:07.000 I mean, it's going to be delicious.

00:32:10.000 Back to that point that you were making about, you know, the businesses leaving.

00:32:13.000 Do you foresee if Momdani does win, and it's looking like he's going to, do you foresee New York becoming like Detroit?

00:32:20.000 Is it possible for New York City to be hollowed out like that?

00:32:24.000 Because I can imagine, you know, a lot of people.

00:32:28.000 I know you made the argument that the people that can leave have already left.

00:32:35.000 I don't know that I believe that.

00:32:37.000 I think there are a lot of people that wanted to pay more because it made them feel good.

00:32:43.000 A lot of wealthy people, you know, on the upper east and west side that have nice apartments around Central Park and stuff, or nice condos.

00:32:52.000 And those people, if the government starts actually going after their, you know, their savings, saying, you know, you've got this, this unrealized gain, you know, unrealized or taxes on unrealized gains or whatever.

00:33:07.000 I think that those people will be like, okay, now this is too much for me.

00:33:10.000 And they might start leaving.

00:33:12.000 And that, do you foresee a possibility?

00:33:14.000 I think that it's hard to compare it to Detroit, which really lost its soul because of the death of the American-made automotive industry.

00:33:21.000 So that really is kind of difficult to compare.

00:33:24.000 Couldn't you conceptualize the financial industry saying, you know what, I don't need to, we don't need to be.

00:33:29.000 So much more than, I think, much more likely in this scenario.

00:33:32.000 They don't have factories.

00:33:33.000 Much more likely in this scenario is that they're going to elect Mondami and then they're going to realize what they've done.

00:33:38.000 And the buyer's remorse is going to result in a massive pendulum swing long before he has the chance to rot that city to its core.

00:33:44.000 People understand that New York is New York.

00:33:47.000 It's the heart and soul of media.

00:33:48.000 It's the heart and soul of news and politics.

00:33:51.000 But if it's young people that don't have any money and don't have anything to lose, are there enough older people with money and with things to lose that would vote against those people to say, okay, we actually have enough influence.

00:34:07.000 You think there's enough?

00:34:07.000 I think that the young people are going to lose interest in this.

00:34:11.000 I think that the worst thing that could happen to the Democratic Party right now is Zohan Mondami.

00:34:15.000 I think that him winning this election is going to show everybody, is going to show everybody exactly what they're playing with.

00:34:21.000 It's going to reveal every card that they've been trying to use and it's going to be an enormous problem for them.

00:34:26.000 New York City also has like a really transitory population.

00:34:28.000 So the under 35 crowd right now, completely different from what the under 35 crowd was 20 years ago.

00:34:33.000 So the amount of cultural changes that are going to occur with young people in New York City in the next five, 10 years when that churn happens.

00:34:40.000 I mean, like, I think the average New Yorker that's on, I saw a stat and it was the average New Yorker under 35 loser for like four and a half years.

00:34:46.000 Yeah.

00:34:46.000 It's like the Zoroan voters are going to be gone in five years anyway.

00:34:49.000 I also feel like New York City is capable of dying coming back.

00:34:53.000 Like I think how it was in the 70s.

00:34:54.000 It was a big deal.

00:34:55.000 It has more times than that.

00:34:57.000 Way more times than that.

00:34:58.000 So there's always, I think, hope for that place.

00:35:00.000 Maybe Trump will be mayor.

00:35:01.000 And I spend so much time complaining about it, you know, in print, not, you know, in podcasts and stuff.

00:35:01.000 Yeah.

00:35:06.000 And it's like, you know, I could, I could live there again.

00:35:08.000 I like it.

00:35:09.000 I mean, it is, it is what it is.

00:35:10.000 It's New York.

00:35:11.000 I have no interest in going to Detroit.

00:35:12.000 I'm sorry if anybody's awesome.

00:35:15.000 Chicago's staying on its feet even with like two back-to-back, like full-blown, like communist, like low IQ.

00:35:21.000 Like people.

00:35:22.000 Yeah, they got rid of, you know, What's Your Face and then got something?

00:35:24.000 Yeah, they got rid of Beetlejuice and brought in if the city, if New York City descends into violence more, that might make people move.

00:35:30.000 Yeah, I think that's the really the thing is the safety issue.

00:35:30.000 Do you think?

00:35:33.000 And most of the people that I know who left during the pandemic, I know a lot of people who were, you know, conservative media who left, but more specifically, people left because they had kids and they were just afraid that this was not a good place to happen anymore.

00:35:44.000 We were getting threatened to have our heads chopped off on the subways with our baby shoes.

00:35:49.000 Not from Brooklyn to Harlem. 0.98

00:35:50.000 People just running around with machetes threatening to chop your head. 0.68

00:35:52.000 Yeah.

00:35:53.000 Even the suburbs in and around, like Connecticut, New Jersey, still growing a lot.

00:35:57.000 So it's like even the suburbs in around New York City are still dependent on New York City.

00:36:00.000 So even if there's a capital flight from New York City itself, a lot of that will just land in Westchester, Bergen.

00:36:07.000 It would have to be a generation of Marxist communism in that city to get to the point that you described.

00:36:12.000 I mean, I think it is on the table, but I predict it will, it'll self-correct long before that.

00:36:18.000 I mean, we're seeing, you know, we're seeing, yeah, I mean, we're seeing now where San Francisco had much more sensitive industry, and now they're kind of coming to their senses a little bit.

00:36:27.000 They're like doing more modernity.

00:36:29.000 And it's like, and they're going to probably be fine to some degree because this is America and there's just a lot of capital in America.

00:36:35.000 It would take a lot to end up in a Detroit situation for a city of the magnitude of New York City.

00:36:41.000 So it's going to, yeah, probably, like you said, you probably will.

00:36:43.000 The New York Post is going to have some really good headlines in the next two years, two to three years.

00:36:47.000 Oh, yeah.

00:36:47.000 My favorite New York Post headline from the city is headless body in a topless bar.

00:36:53.000 That's a great one.

00:36:55.000 That's really good.

00:36:56.000 It's a classic.

00:36:56.000 Yeah.

00:36:57.000 I know they have a table at the New York Post and they're just sitting around just like, bang, did it again, dude?

00:37:03.000 They do.

00:37:04.000 I mean, that's not a fantasy.

00:37:06.000 That's legitimately the news.

00:37:07.000 Well, they have like, there's got to be like one table just in charge of giving a different name to a criminal every time.

00:37:12.000 But there's headline writers.

00:37:13.000 Like they literally don't write copy.

00:37:14.000 They just write headlines.

00:37:15.000 It's in our form.

00:37:16.000 Babble rousers. 1.00

00:37:17.000 Like they just are trying to come up with as many names as possible.

00:37:20.000 I love that.

00:37:21.000 I mean, headlines and what's going to get a click is one of the most important currencies that exist in the online 2025.

00:37:33.000 I mean, there's a reason this.

00:37:34.000 I mean, how much?

00:37:35.000 I don't think the Post is even worried about headlines or making money.

00:37:38.000 I think they just want to prefer art.

00:37:39.000 I think it's just art.

00:37:41.000 It's all performance.

00:37:42.000 You're still full.

00:37:42.000 It's a gift to America.

00:37:44.000 There you go.

00:37:45.000 We're losing money.

00:37:46.000 In fairness, they can't be making money on print anymore.

00:37:46.000 This is for you.

00:37:48.000 And they're still like the number one circulator of actual physical copies.

00:37:52.000 So it's got to be the art.

00:37:55.000 It's a room full of just patrons.

00:37:56.000 It's beautiful.

00:37:57.000 It's a very beautiful thing.

00:37:58.000 Dude, they literally make money on their, on like their web games, right?

00:38:01.000 On their browser games.

00:38:03.000 Isn't that where like there's stuff that you can buy on Play Store?

00:38:05.000 Isn't that where they make most of their money?

00:38:07.000 I thought that's where they're making most of their money.

00:38:08.000 I don't know.

00:38:09.000 Like New York Times is probably just like profit by Wordle at this point.

00:38:11.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:38:12.000 They have to have a lot of people.

00:38:13.000 Totally is.

00:38:15.000 Or the Chinese Communist Party.

00:38:17.000 Yeah.

00:38:18.000 New York Times is.

00:38:19.000 Oh, yeah.

00:38:20.000 Well, I mean, look, there's the Communist Party in, or the New York Times has been run by the Communist Party since the 30s.

00:38:30.000 Yeah.

00:38:31.000 Got him some Pulitzers.

00:38:32.000 What was his name that was lying about the Soviet Union?

00:38:35.000 I always forget his name.

00:38:36.000 He went over to.

00:38:37.000 Durante.

00:38:38.000 William Durante.

00:38:38.000 William Duranty.

00:38:39.000 He was over there and didn't write about it.

00:38:41.000 He basically said there was no famine happening.

00:38:43.000 Yeah.

00:38:44.000 I've seen the future and it's working.

00:38:47.000 It's not.

00:38:47.000 They're dieting.

00:38:49.000 It's called intermittent fasting.

00:38:52.000 It's going to be great in 100 years or years.

00:38:52.000 It's nutrition.

00:38:55.000 It's a Pulitzer.

00:38:56.000 Yeah.

00:38:57.000 But I mean, I don't know that I'm as optimistic as you guys about New York City because I think that the population is going to end up if, like hypothetically, if Momdani wins, he institutes these policies and then they don't work.

00:39:19.000 And I think that only radicalizes people more.

00:39:21.000 Like the most important thing for Donald Trump is to have economic policies that work.

00:39:26.000 Everybody, you hear a lot of people making noise about, you know, about the Epstein list.

00:39:31.000 You hear a lot of people making noise about Israel.

00:39:33.000 You hear a lot of people making noise about, oh, there haven't been people arrested yet.

00:39:37.000 He hasn't done enough to clean the swamp, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:39:39.000 The reason that he got elected was because he was going to do good things for the economy.

00:39:47.000 And that's what people heard when they said we're going to deport illegal immigrants, right?

00:39:53.000 They elected him because he was going to deport illegal immigrants.

00:39:56.000 And people translated that in their heads to, I will be able to find jobs and better jobs and more jobs for Americans.

00:40:04.000 It's economics.

00:40:06.000 So if his economic policies don't pan out, that means that it's likely that someone like an AOC or like, not that he could win because he wasn't born here, but like a Zoran Momdani, someone with those kind of policies could win the presidential election in, you know, 2030 or whatever, whenever the next one is, I forget.

00:40:27.000 But yeah, like, I feel like the failures of this particular administration or the failures of a Mamdani administration only help to feed the radicals. 0.96

00:40:42.000 It doesn't mean that people are going to say, no, we have to go back to the ways that have actually worked because the young people and people that are upset now don't believe those ways ever worked.

00:40:55.000 I think, okay, going down your path, I see that possibility because in the left, especially in the younger generations, widespread nihilism, so a bad economy and suffering might just make it part of their like DNA.

00:41:10.000 Like this is helping, we have to self-sacrifice.

00:41:13.000 Because people right now, the people that think that leftist policies are a good idea, they look at this world that we live in and they don't see that capitalism is what built it.

00:41:24.000 They think that it just is, right?

00:41:26.000 If you talk to a kid that's that's got favorable opinions of communism or whatever, he doesn't think, oh, well, you know, communism might be okay, but it's capitalism that's gotten us here.

00:41:40.000 It's capitalism that's raised basically everyone on earth out of abject poverty.

00:41:46.000 Like in 2030, there will be no one left on the planet that lives on less than a dollar, like two bucks a day, right?

00:41:54.000 And it's not socialism that's produced that.

00:41:57.000 It's not at all.

00:41:58.000 It's capitalism, but they don't see that.

00:42:00.000 And you try to tell them that and they're not hearing it because believe me, I'll get on X and I'll argue with anybody and I'll be like, you know, this is what's going on.

00:42:09.000 And to hear them talk, they don't understand or they it doesn't compute to them that this world that we live in with all this abundance and the fact that you can use your phone to order DoorDash and have it brought to your house and then pay for it with Klarna. 0.50

00:42:24.000 Like all that stuff is because of capitalism.

00:42:27.000 Not that Klarna's a bad idea. 0.97

00:42:28.000 It's a terrible idea.

00:42:29.000 If you're waiting for DoorDash with Klarna, you have a lot of problems.

00:42:31.000 It's a horrible idea.

00:42:32.000 That's awesome.

00:42:33.000 But the point is, like all of that is because of capitalism and they don't understand that.

00:42:38.000 They think, no, capitalism is why my life is bad.

00:42:41.000 Capitalism is why things are hard.

00:42:43.000 Capitalism is why I don't get to do the things that I want to do.

00:42:48.000 Even though the things that they want to do don't exist in the absence of capitalism.

00:42:53.000 And it's something that you see on the left a lot.

00:42:56.000 People on the left love to produce these memes that say, oh, 50 guerrilla people died of capitalism because they didn't have clean water and they didn't have medicine and they didn't have food and they didn't have this.

00:43:10.000 And it's like all of the things you're talking about, they don't get without capitalism.

00:43:16.000 And they just assume that medicine and technological advances and all of this stuff happens in the absence of capitalism and it doesn't.

00:43:25.000 So I don't know that they understand the world they live in.

00:43:28.000 The foundation is markets and liberty.

00:43:31.000 It's been on purpose.

00:43:32.000 That's why things like the Cultural Revolution have to destroy history so they can rebuild you. 0.95

00:43:38.000 You're born again into this fake religion of Marxism to destroy, to rebuild this utopia.

00:43:44.000 And like, it's not to say that capitalism has massive flaws, like massive flaws, but it's still right now what we got.

00:43:50.000 And what I'm like, that's what I'm, what you're saying is that's exactly what I mean by them subconsciously embracing capitalism.

00:43:56.000 They're taking part in all of it, but they've been force-fed this idea of like no family, no real work, no legacy, no beauty.

00:44:05.000 So they're suffering as part of their policy.

00:44:07.000 Yeah.

00:44:08.000 Policy.

00:44:08.000 But it's like, too, it's like we've, I mean, the right has invested so much money and time into like media promoting capitalism and free markets for the last 50 years.

00:44:16.000 And like there's been pretty much no fruit.

00:44:19.000 And then Trump comes along.

00:44:20.000 I don't even know if he's ever mentioned the word capitalism once.

00:44:22.000 He's just like, we're going to make deals.

00:44:23.000 It's going to be great.

00:44:24.000 Like we're going to have a huge building in New York with my name on it.

00:44:27.000 That's what people want to hear.

00:44:28.000 People want like, you know how they get, I don't think he's ever explained like Keynesian model before in his entire life.

00:44:33.000 He's like, he's just, he wants to make a deal.

00:44:35.000 And it's like young people just need to believe.

00:44:37.000 And if you get really into the weeds on this, like Zoron isn't getting up there explaining like market because people are going through his website and looking at all his policies and their brains working.

00:44:45.000 They're like, why is it?

00:44:46.000 This doesn't even work.

00:44:46.000 This doesn't compute.

00:44:47.000 It's like, because it doesn't matter.

00:44:48.000 It's about the vibes.

00:44:49.000 You have to sell.

00:44:50.000 Americans are a vibes-based people. 0.77

00:44:52.000 You have to sell the vibe.

00:44:54.000 So the right can't like overcorrect and start getting really into like economics textbooks and stuff because that's what like, you know, not going to say the names they've been doing for years and it's not working so then if vibes are how you sell people on something how do you make young people understand trump's done it trump's done it so i mean trump crushes with young men because it's awesome because no i know i know i told i'm letting you i'm gonna build i'm gonna push back on that trump crushes with young men because the democrats hate young men

00:45:24.000 look it's if trump if trump wasn't the only option I don't think Trump would be as popular with young men. 1.00

00:45:32.000 The option is Donald Trump or we hate you and hope you die. 0.96

00:45:39.000 No, because when Trump's not on the ballot, Republicans do terribly because I think young men love Trump. 0.99

00:45:44.000 I mean, they hate Democrats because, like you said, they are stay home.

00:45:48.000 But like Trump just provides something that just connects.

00:45:52.000 Like I've never found an 80-year-old man relatable in my entire life until Donald Trump.

00:45:56.000 I agree with you.

00:45:56.000 And I think that if you look at the last election results, it's clear that, I mean, Trump didn't win the popular vote and the Electoral College because the Democrats screwed up so badly.

00:46:05.000 I mean, they did, but he also won because he had a message that resonated.

00:46:10.000 There was more.

00:46:10.000 There was a little bit of column man and a lot of Columbi.

00:46:14.000 But I think it's really important.

00:46:15.000 And you said something that I really want to go back to, which is the religion of socialism and Marxism.

00:46:20.000 And that is what's working so well for the left right now is they've created this sort of cult vibe and it's very, very attractive.

00:46:27.000 It's the same thing, you know, the trans flag with all the colors.

00:46:31.000 You can be in our club.

00:46:32.000 You're in the cult.

00:46:32.000 You can wave the colors.

00:46:33.000 You can wear the badge.

00:46:34.000 You've got this.

00:46:35.000 And that is very difficult to break into.

00:46:38.000 And it's the same problem that Europe is dealing with with having extremists living in their and you know in their countries and having neighborhoods that are just been taken over.

00:46:46.000 You can't compete with the ideology.

00:46:48.000 The ideology is strong.

00:46:50.000 So I'm not sure what the answer is there.

00:46:51.000 Calling it a religion is really hitting the nail in the head.

00:46:54.000 Look, it gives people, if you're a young, you know, say you're a young white guy, right?

00:47:00.000 And you've been told all your life since you were little, you've heard, even if you're not told, you just hear, right? 0.97

00:47:05.000 Just you're, you live in this society where you hear white men are bad, men are bad, boys are toxic, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:47:15.000 And then you find out that if you just like guys or if you decide that you want to be a woman, you can. 0.95

00:47:24.000 And it's literally a way for you.

00:47:27.000 It's a way out for you.

00:47:29.000 And you just have to swallow the ideology whole.

00:47:32.000 It's, I can imagine that it is incredibly attractive for people that are awkward, that don't can't find their way in, you know, in life.

00:47:44.000 And at a time when you're going through puberty, you're about to go through puberty, if you're not the most masculine dude, if you're not a, you know, a dude that's able to assert himself, that doesn't feel like he's a winner, which, I mean, when you're a teenager, who does?

00:48:00.000 Sure.

00:48:01.000 You know, that, that kind of ideology, that, that, that possible way out is incredibly attractive.

00:48:10.000 It's crazy to see how that ideology has spread to just beyond the young group because there's parents who are willing to sacrifice their children for that idea, like to mutilate your child.

00:48:19.000 Mostly that's a death cult.

00:48:20.000 Yeah.

00:48:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:21.000 But there's guys too, you know, effeminate dudes.

00:48:23.000 That's the dudes end up joining and being a part of it.

00:48:27.000 I mean, look at the Kardashians, you know, Jenner, you know, Caitlin Jenner.

00:48:32.000 You can say Bruce.

00:48:33.000 Bruce, whatever.

00:48:34.000 You know, Bruce, like he, he won at life, won gold medal.

00:48:40.000 Was on the weeds.

00:48:41.000 He was the guy on the Wheaties box, right?

00:48:44.000 And then he's like, my daughters are hotter than me.

00:48:49.000 Have you actually seen there's like a, I never watch the Kardashians, but have you actually seen the clip where he is explaining to his daughters that he's going to become a woman?

00:48:57.000 And like they're hysterical, like and not in a good way.

00:49:00.000 I mean, it's a really sad scene.

00:49:02.000 I mean, and now you have to think about this.

00:49:04.000 He's been Caitlin Jenner now for a long time.

00:49:07.000 But before that, you know, he was Bruce and he was this Olympian and he was, like you said, winning at life.

00:49:12.000 But this was something that was so difficult for his family.

00:49:15.000 And it just, I mean, my immediate thought was like, who's helping this man?

00:49:18.000 Like, there's just, I mean, it's just such a sad thing that like clearly he's just going through it and like destroying his family to get to that end.

00:49:26.000 And, you know, that family has good access to plastic surgeons.

00:49:30.000 Well, I mean, that's that good.

00:49:30.000 Yeah.

00:49:32.000 That's good.

00:49:33.000 Not for him.

00:49:34.000 It works so well for Bruce.

00:49:36.000 But the other three are like clone new versions.

00:49:38.000 We'll take it back into the garage.

00:49:40.000 Chris Jenner looks great.

00:49:41.000 All right.

00:49:42.000 Yeah, that's Adriana Christ.

00:49:43.000 That's just an objective truth.

00:49:44.000 That is like the undercurrent of left-wing thought is it's an attack on beauty.

00:49:48.000 And like, for example, if you're, if you're a young person, what is more beautiful than having a child extending your bloodline?

00:49:55.000 So of course they're going to try and push homosexuality on you because it nukes your bloodline. 0.99

00:49:59.000 Same thing with transgenders. 1.00

00:50:00.000 You're taking Bruce Jenner.

00:50:02.000 I'm not going to call him beautiful, but you're taking a specimen, right?

00:50:04.000 A physical specimen.

00:50:05.000 This is peak human performance.

00:50:07.000 And to rip them down and destroy them and, you know, hot swap and weld on some skin on his own. 0.73

00:50:14.000 Yeah.

00:50:14.000 And he's got like a grenade blast on his arm.

00:50:16.000 I mean, what is more horrifying than, and that's what they're trying to push.

00:50:20.000 They're trying to destroy something that's the pinnacle of humanity.

00:50:23.000 That's an Olympian.

00:50:24.000 And that's how they redefine beauty because to them, that's I don't even know if they're trying.

00:50:28.000 I don't think they're even trying to redefine beauty.

00:50:29.000 I think they're trying to normalize ugly.

00:50:32.000 Yeah, raise ugliness.

00:50:33.000 You see it everywhere.

00:50:35.000 You go to like Boston, you see their city hall.

00:50:38.000 They look at it.

00:50:38.000 That's beautiful.

00:50:39.000 They know it's hideous.

00:50:40.000 Once you do these surgeries on people, like you, you, you take away their ability to change their mind because now they've become lifelong patients where they're going to have to constantly address this and you can't undo it.

00:50:51.000 I mean, and you listen to these just harrowing stories from like de-transitioners about like what they've gone through and the type of support they got from people who swore a Hippocratic oath to do no harm and did exactly that. 0.98

00:51:03.000 I mean, it's really.

00:51:04.000 To your point, one of the things the left talks about, you hear the phrase center the margins, right?

00:51:10.000 And they say that the people on the margins should be made the center.

00:51:13.000 That doesn't work for society at all, right?

00:51:16.000 Like you have to have a society that focuses on the majority of the people and says this is how we're going to have our society organized.

00:51:27.000 And if you want to live on the margins, that's acceptable.

00:51:31.000 And in a society like ours, we can make room for people to live on the margins, but that doesn't mean that we have to center them.

00:51:38.000 All government policy should focus on families, normal. 0.88

00:51:43.000 And I'm using the term normal intentionally, normal men and women married together, having kids, hopefully three, you know, because that's what's normal and that's what you need to reproduce your society.

00:52:00.000 And the idea that it is good for the government to promote things that will not help produce more of the society is ridiculous.

00:52:12.000 It's literally counterproductive to the society. 0.92

00:52:16.000 Like, why are you going to say, oh, we're going to make special accommodations for trans people, for gay people, for non-binary people, whatever.

00:52:27.000 We're going to make special accommodations and center Those people in our policymaking when those people are not going to reproduce the society. 0.66

00:52:37.000 They're just not going to do it.

00:52:39.000 I mean, it's the most counterproductive thing a government can do is to say, we're going to take the people on the margins and center them.

00:52:49.000 No, you center, you focus on the people in the center and make sure that normal families, again, using the phrase normal intentionally because normal means man, woman, kids, normal families have what they need to be successful.

00:53:08.000 And that being the idea that that's a hateful perspective, which is what, I mean, there are people that would clip this or would clip this and say, Phil is a bigot for saying that.

00:53:19.000 I don't care if you're going to call me a bigot for saying that normal people are normal.

00:53:22.000 But normal, the word normal has a meaning, and that's what the government should be focusing on doing its best to hold up and support.

00:53:33.000 And if you live on, if you want to have a life that's on the margins, it's okay.

00:53:37.000 There's nothing that is going to, we're going to stop you, but you don't get to be the center of attention.

00:53:43.000 You can be on the margins.

00:53:45.000 You can have your friend group and whatever, but the government is going to look at people that are normal and say, this is what we want to see more of, because this is what produces more people.

00:53:56.000 Even if only for the fact that it produces more tax base, but attacking the normal and embracing the fringe is how they collapse the society, which is what they want so they can flood it with their insanity.

00:54:07.000 Yeah.

00:54:07.000 I mean, and I think, I don't know, I think gays are like probably better off if they're on the fringe because that's when like you think like the 70s and 80s, like they're making good music, like there's good art coming out.

00:54:16.000 And then we like put them in the center and you get like RuPaul's drag race or whatever.

00:54:19.000 Barack Obama.

00:54:20.000 You get Obama. 1.00

00:54:21.000 I mean, it's like, it sucks. 0.99

00:54:22.000 It's like, I don't know. 0.93

00:54:22.000 Maybe like, I don't even know if they're happy being political about it. 0.93

00:54:25.000 They may have overshadowed when they realize like the 25-year-old Republican man is like the punk rock version of 2025.

00:54:32.000 Like the coolest gay guy in the last 30 years is like George Santos. 0.65

00:54:35.000 He was like a rock star.

00:54:37.000 Yeah, now he's getting street cred.

00:54:38.000 Yeah.

00:54:39.000 Oh, yeah, he's a gangster.

00:54:40.000 Too much time in jail.

00:54:42.000 Sweaters is tough.

00:54:43.000 Sweater is the new, like, yeah, the new like orange jumpsuit.

00:54:47.000 All right, we're going to jump to this next story here.

00:54:50.000 Benjamin Netanyahu has decided on full occupation of the Gaza Strip reports.

00:54:55.000 This is from Newsweek.

00:54:58.000 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided that the Israeli Defense Force should push to fully occupy the besieged Gaza Strip, including operating in areas where hostages are being held, according to multiple media reports.

00:55:11.000 The Prime Minister's office also conveyed a message to Lieutenant General Eal Zamir, the Army's chief of staff, saying, if this does not suit him, you should resign, according to Euronews and I-24's diplomatic correspondent, Amichai Stein.

00:55:27.000 Newsweek reached out to Netanyahu's office for comment via email on Monday.

00:55:31.000 Israeli media reported that the cabinet will meet on Tuesday to come to a formal decision on the matter.

00:55:37.000 The Israeli prime minister's report reported decision comes after months of ceasefire talks between his government and Hamas, with both sides accusing each other of repeated violations.

00:55:48.000 Israel has also faced increased international pressure to reach a ceasefire deal as Hamas releases videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages being held in Gaza, which the group said was the result of Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to the war-torn territory.

00:56:03.000 This is something that has been kind of obvious that it was going to happen.

00:56:07.000 I don't know what people thought or if people thought that there was another option.

00:56:13.000 Israel's not going to allow Hamas to remain as the government. 0.84

00:56:19.000 If there were an election in Gaza, Hamas would win still. 0.99

00:56:26.000 So I feel like this is, there are people that are going to be up in arms about it, but I feel like this was kind of the, this was going to be the obvious end result anyways.

00:56:36.000 You know, Israel's going to occupy that for at least five years to a decade. 0.98

00:56:40.000 Well, maybe.

00:56:41.000 But I think that more importantly, this is very symbolic in that it signals that there's an agreement between Netanyahu and President Trump that he will be, Netanyahu and Israel will be supported in this maneuver.

00:56:52.000 So there are, first of all, Hamas has unfortunately gotten quite a lot of support from the international heads of state, including Kier Starmer, including Canada, including Emmanuel Macron.

00:57:07.000 And it's given them power and confidence that they can continue doing exactly what they're doing.

00:57:12.000 Starmer made, you know, giving Palestine recognition contingent on Israel making changes to avoid that made no such threats towards Hamas.

00:57:23.000 Hamas can continue holding hostages, starving them, splashing that all over the media and doing whatever they're doing to subvert aid from GHF from the UN.

00:57:33.000 So there's no way that Hamas is going to stop.

00:57:34.000 They have no reason to.

00:57:35.000 They have enough international support that they could continue doing this forever.

00:57:39.000 The sad truth is they could avoid being occupied by Israel. 0.90

00:57:42.000 They could avoid being rattled by the United States by simply releasing the remaining hostages and stopping this.

00:57:49.000 It would restore food and aid to their citizens.

00:57:53.000 Everything would be fine.

00:57:53.000 They won't do that because they don't actually care about their own people.

00:57:57.000 And unfortunately, you're absolutely right.

00:57:58.000 There is only one power, one governing power in Gaza, and it is Hamas, a bona fide terrorist organization.

00:58:06.000 So unfortunately, this is necessary.

00:58:09.000 This is exactly what needs to happen.

00:58:10.000 It's not going to be pretty.

00:58:12.000 You know, it's nice to read it that way.

00:58:14.000 We're going to do it.

00:58:14.000 We're going to get the hostage.

00:58:15.000 It's going to be great.

00:58:17.000 It's not going to look great.

00:58:19.000 It's, you know, already Israel is facing this just enormous international pressure about this aid.

00:58:27.000 I've never heard of an aggressed nation having to help the belligerents before, but that's where we are. 0.96

00:58:34.000 And the United States is there too.

00:58:37.000 Obviously, the press is terrible for them.

00:58:39.000 And it's not going to get a ton better with this.

00:58:40.000 But unfortunately, I think that it's down to the last option.

00:58:43.000 Time's up.

00:58:44.000 There's just no more time left.

00:58:45.000 If the Epstein files are in Gaza, then I support it. 1.00

00:58:49.000 I just need to say that for Phil.

00:58:51.000 I don't think either side of this war cares about their people.

00:58:53.000 And I don't want our country to have anything to do with it.

00:58:55.000 I'm so tired of helping other countries right now.

00:58:58.000 You know, our countries.

00:59:00.000 You know, Ireland called for the UN to possibly go into Israel to stop Israel.

00:59:07.000 Ireland?

00:59:08.000 Ireland?

00:59:09.000 My homeland?

00:59:09.000 Ireland called, yeah, the Irish prime minister who looks who looks, I mean, it's like a comedy show.

00:59:16.000 He looks just like a leprechaun.

00:59:18.000 He does. 0.76

00:59:18.000 Like when you see it's, it's, you're a bigot. 0.76

00:59:21.000 That's fine.

00:59:22.000 It's not the first time someone said that.

00:59:25.000 But like he looks, it looks like it's, it's hilarious.

00:59:28.000 But they were calling for the UN to go into Israel.

00:59:32.000 Who makes up the military might of the UN?

00:59:36.000 It's not Ireland.

00:59:36.000 Does Ireland have planes and tanks?

00:59:38.000 No.

00:59:39.000 Also, Ireland is like still LARPing like they're oppressed in 2025.

00:59:43.000 It's like, bro, the famine was like 300 years ago.

00:59:47.000 People laugh so easily at like Irish people as though they weren't committing horrible terrorist acts and like just like 30 years ago. 0.97

00:59:53.000 Like it was pretty recent.

00:59:55.000 But they weren't doing it to us.

00:59:56.000 But they were blowing up members of the royal family in a rowboat.

00:59:59.000 Like things were really dark for a while.

01:00:01.000 They're capable of a lot.

01:00:02.000 That said, I don't think they have a lot of violence.

01:00:04.000 Yeah, they're like equipment.

01:00:05.000 Yeah, and they're doing the LARPing with like the ball of clavos and everything.

01:00:08.000 I'm like, your average citizen there works at like Microsoft now.

01:00:11.000 It's like, and you make like double the British salary.

01:00:13.000 So it's like, all right, cool it, you know, O'Hagins or whatever his name is.

01:00:17.000 It's like, but still, like, the idea that the United States should go in, again, because when you talk about the UN doing anything, what you're really saying is the United States, because the United States is the actual muscle behind the UN.

01:00:29.000 Peacekeepers is not peacekeepers.

01:00:31.000 The majority are from like the Indian subcontinent.

01:00:33.000 United States versus the UN is kind of a big deal, right?

01:00:36.000 I don't think that is.

01:00:37.000 I don't think that he was talking about peacekeepers.

01:00:40.000 That's the only option they would have if the UN were to intervene.

01:00:42.000 And it'd be hilarious.

01:00:43.000 The UN peacekeepers are like the most incompetent military on planet Earth.

01:00:46.000 Like people join just to settle scores.

01:00:48.000 It's a little blueberries.

01:00:49.000 Can you imagine Indians in Israel? 0.99

01:00:52.000 Like they wouldn't be just slaughtering Jews. 1.00

01:00:56.000 Like, come on. 0.98

01:00:57.000 Wait for the Rumble and censor. 0.93

01:00:59.000 If you look at the, I mean, isn't India where they have like a fond opinion of Adolf Hitler because he was fighting?

01:01:07.000 Yeah, they love Hitler, but they also love Israel. 0.75

01:01:09.000 They're very complicated.

01:01:10.000 Well, they love Israel too?

01:01:11.000 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:13.000 You go on Twitter and it's like, it'll be like the lion, and it's like Israel is like a cub and then India behind it. 0.89

01:01:18.000 Like, we got your back.

01:01:20.000 What part of Twitter you are?

01:01:21.000 I'm going to take this moment to do my part here as a representative from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

01:01:27.000 And we defend, obviously, Israel quite a lot as a beleaguered democracy that they are. 1.00

01:01:32.000 America first is not America alone.

01:01:35.000 And I think that it's really important that we continue to recognize who our democratic allies are.

01:01:40.000 We have important partners in the Middle East, but no more than Israel. 0.97

01:01:43.000 If we don't help Israel do everything that we can, and they depend on us to do that, very obviously, they will be destroyed much sooner than you think. 0.98

01:01:51.000 And it's absolutely imperative for our own homeland security, our kitchen table issues, that we maintain the safety and security of our democratic ally in the Middle East.

01:02:00.000 And I get that, but I stopped caring about other countries at this point.

01:02:04.000 After you care about the U.S., I do, but that is also a failed country.

01:02:09.000 Can you help me outline why?

01:02:12.000 Can you just unpack why it is that you say that it's so important for Israel to be for the U.S. to support Israel?

01:02:18.000 Because the reason I say this is because there's a lot of people specifically that are our viewers that aren't particularly friendly to Israel and I think that think along the lines of shame that the U.S. should not be worried about foreign countries.

01:02:31.000 Yeah.

01:02:31.000 Well, so first of all, like look at Israel on a geopolitical map that it's surrounded by seven fronts, depending on the day, really, that want to destroy them.

01:02:41.000 But before if they get through Israel, their next target is Westerners and specifically the United States, particularly Iran at this particular moment. 0.82

01:02:53.000 But let's think about the flag of the Houthis down there in Yemen literally says destroy Israel and then destroy the U.S. That's their state flag. 0.92

01:02:59.000 That's what it says on it.

01:03:01.000 They are very serious about that.

01:03:03.000 If Israel no longer exists, if we no longer have the alliance of the IDF and of the extreme might and power of that army, then we have Iran with a nuclear weapon and they will launch it at us as soon as they're able to. 0.93

01:03:17.000 And they're not the only ones.

01:03:18.000 So what would you say that the people that what would you say to people that would push back on that and say the only reason that they hate the United States is because the United States supports Israel.

01:03:28.000 It's not.

01:03:29.000 And if Israel were to be destroyed, they would just stop.

01:03:32.000 They would stop.

01:03:33.000 That's the Osama bin Laden thinking. 0.97

01:03:34.000 He was shocked when we showed up at Tora Bora and started blowing up Afghanistan after 9-11. 1.00

01:03:40.000 That's not how it works.

01:03:42.000 It's the same kind of thinking.

01:03:44.000 They stop with Israel. 0.72

01:03:45.000 But you have to understand the ideology.

01:03:47.000 We're going back to extreme ideology, right?

01:03:50.000 It's the same thing, only this is a different ideology, different book.

01:03:53.000 But their order that they believe is that they are supposed to re-usher in the caliphate and destroy all the infidels. 1.00

01:04:02.000 That means all the infidels. 1.00

01:04:04.000 It starts with the Jews and it ends with everybody else. 0.98

01:04:07.000 And that includes, by the way, moderate Muslims.

01:04:09.000 Remember, the first place that he attacked, the first place that Osama bin Laden went to after he attacked the United States on 9-11 was Saudi Arabia to start bombing Arabs because they were hosting United States oil compounds and military in the country.

01:04:25.000 That will continue.

01:04:27.000 And without our strategic positioning and alliance with the military might of Israel, then we will be hurt and we will be hurt at home.

01:04:36.000 First of all, our interests will be destroyed immediately and they will come find us across the ocean.

01:04:41.000 Like from my perspective, it seems like we've backed Israel to a T for the last 70, 80 years and our relationship with the Muslim world at large has just gotten consistently worse as every year has passed by. 0.94

01:04:53.000 Well, I push back on that to say that the Abraham Accords are kind of flying in the face of that.

01:04:57.000 Yes.

01:04:58.000 The one president who's actually done something to change that to actually make a radical difference in the Middle East and for the better has been Donald Trump.

01:05:06.000 And he really, the idea of the Abraham Accords, the implementation of the Abraham Accords towards the end of his first term was the first giant step into a brand new Middle East where there was going to be a lot more peace.

01:05:19.000 Things obviously slowed down and changed and reversed over the four years following that.

01:05:22.000 We're hopefully getting back to something where we can expand the Abraham Accords once again and lean into our allies and create better allies.

01:05:30.000 Peace is the goal.

01:05:32.000 The goal isn't just throwing money into never-ending wars and people who hate us.

01:05:36.000 The goal is to establish an everlasting peace in the region.

01:05:41.000 And that doesn't mean nation building.

01:05:44.000 It doesn't mean us going in like we did in 2003 in Iraq and starting an entire new country that obviously was never going to work.

01:05:50.000 It's got to be us understanding what works, how we can prop each other up, where we can understand each other.

01:05:56.000 An ally doesn't have to be a perfect friend, but they do have to be a friend.

01:06:00.000 My whole thing is I'm 40 now and my whole life, you know, when I was born, I inherited a world of forever wars and it's been going on consistently this whole time and I see my country just getting worse and worse.

01:06:11.000 So I feel like Israel can handle its own for now and we can focus on our country so we can try to get the thing back up on its feet. 0.97

01:06:20.000 And to like bounce off what he's saying too, it's just I don't really know if peace in the Middle East is like a priority for Americans.

01:06:26.000 That's whatsoever.

01:06:27.000 So aside from the aside from the United States actually attacking the nuclear sites in Iran, what has the U.S. done when it comes to Israel?

01:06:41.000 Like we've given them a ton of weapons.

01:06:43.000 We've given them weapons.

01:06:44.000 Volunteer gives them their AI, helps with the AI lavender, which is I've talked about that at length on the show.

01:06:49.000 But when it comes to the idea of the U.S. being actively involved in combat or in war, like but you have to think of war as different, though war is not going to be the way we think of war from the past.

01:06:59.000 War now is sending you everything we got, you know, our armed missiles, signing our rockets and sending them over there.

01:07:06.000 You know, like that to me is an issue.

01:07:08.000 When we should be like, we're sending war rockets to Ukraine, we're sending war and rockets to Israel. 0.82

01:07:14.000 We're funding both sides to some of these wars forever.

01:07:17.000 And I just see our country suffering deeply and we're in debt.

01:07:21.000 They're asking us to pay them through PayPal and Venmo.

01:07:23.000 I'm like, how can we be stretching ourselves so thin?

01:07:27.000 And I understand the idea of having an ally, but it's been our ally for so many years.

01:07:32.000 And this threat of Iran going to bomb us, it just doesn't seem to come to fruition.

01:07:36.000 It always seems to be like a boogeyman.

01:07:37.000 And I think they've been saying death to America forever.

01:07:40.000 I understand that.

01:07:41.000 I don't like it.

01:07:42.000 But I also understand why they're saying that because we also destroyed their country, you know, many years ago with Kermit Roosevelt going in there and subverting their entire country.

01:07:50.000 So I understand, I don't like it, but I understand why they say it.

01:07:53.000 I honestly, my opinion, I don't think they are going to do anything.

01:07:56.000 And I also think they've had nukes for longer than we've probably willing to admit.

01:07:59.000 We have other adversaries with nuclear weapons as well.

01:08:01.000 Like this wouldn't be the first adversary.

01:08:03.000 Yeah, but we don't have another adversary that's going to hit the red button the second that it's ready to fire.

01:08:08.000 And also the re the only United States preventing Iran from getting nukes isn't just about Iran.

01:08:15.000 Saudi Arabia doesn't want Iran to have nukes any more than Israel does.

01:08:20.000 Yeah.

01:08:20.000 And so that's they're that's their because it's like what would the incentive possibly be for Iran to nuke the United States?

01:08:27.000 It's so end of Iran. 0.99

01:08:28.000 They don't care.

01:08:29.000 That's the difference.

01:08:30.000 Like USSR, I'm sorry, Russia cares. 0.98

01:08:32.000 Russia doesn't want to be destroyed.

01:08:34.000 And whatever, like Medvedev said, then the Kremlin came back out and said, never mind, we actually don't want thermonuclear war here.

01:08:40.000 Like, please don't reposition your new, you know, your subs.

01:08:43.000 But that's not the case with Iran.

01:08:46.000 Iran understands this in a very ideological way.

01:08:48.000 And these guys really believe this.

01:08:49.000 This isn't just something that they push out there for the press, for PR, to be like, oh, we're very religious.

01:08:55.000 We're clerics.

01:08:56.000 They really actually believe this.

01:08:58.000 And they actually believe that it's worth them firing a nuclear weapon at the enemies with the threat of American might coming at them if they're doing what they believe is the will of Allah, what they're supposed to be doing. 0.57

01:09:10.000 That's what is so terrifying about a nation like Iran happening. 1.00

01:09:13.000 Gen Z really doesn't have this, have a sense. 0.71

01:09:16.000 And I feel like Gen Z believes things in a similar fashion to the way that Gen X believed them before 9-11.

01:09:26.000 Like we heard about, you know, I'm 50 years old, so I'm Gen X, right?

01:09:31.000 And I heard about, you know, religious fundamentalism, and I knew about the first attack on the World Trade Center, Ramsey Youssef in 1993, and they were, you know, they did it for religious reasons. 0.81

01:09:44.000 We didn't really believe that they believed the things they do believe.

01:09:50.000 And this is an argument that I have.

01:09:51.000 Hold on.

01:09:51.000 This is an argument that I have with Ian that I've had multiple times.

01:09:55.000 Ian, his opinion is people are just people and they're all the same.

01:10:00.000 And that's not true.

01:10:02.000 And the way that Gen X believed about what Gen X believed about Islamic fundamentalism is what Gen Z believes about Islamic fundamentalism now.

01:10:16.000 They don't believe they actually believe it.

01:10:18.000 And they really, really believe it.

01:10:21.000 This isn't, I'm not making an argument about Islam because if it comes to Islamophobia, no one's more Islamophobic than me.

01:10:26.000 Trust me.

01:10:29.000 This is the problem, though, is there's millions and millions of Muslims pouring into Europe and America. 1.00

01:10:34.000 So it's like that should be, if we're trying to go to war with the Muslim world and Islam at large, Iran's the least of my worries. 0.80

01:10:39.000 I'm worried about the millions of Muslims that are pouring into France and Germany and the United States, the United Kingdom. 1.00

01:10:45.000 It's like Iran, it just feels like we're shifting on the chairs on the titanium. 1.00

01:10:49.000 I think that's a really fair point.

01:10:50.000 I mean, you should be worried about that.

01:10:52.000 And that's not really an Islamophobic point.

01:10:54.000 The point is that.

01:10:57.000 The point is that these immigration problems, and fortunately, despite what's happened over the last four years with our border being completely open, these countries in Europe are facing something that's catastrophic, especially France, especially the United Kingdom, where there's literally parts of the country that you just can't even go to anymore. 0.82

01:11:15.000 And it's not because they're Muslim.

01:11:17.000 It's because they're literally extremists and they were told that it's not a right.

01:11:22.000 It's not a privilege.

01:11:24.000 You'd have deserved this.

01:11:25.000 Like you are born with the right to live wherever you want to live and you have no reason to assimilate.

01:11:32.000 You don't have to be French.

01:11:33.000 You don't have to be British. 0.79

01:11:35.000 You can just be extremist.

01:11:37.000 I mean, those guys, the 7-7 bombers, were born in the United Kingdom.

01:11:40.000 I mean, this is not just an, it started with an immigration issue, but it also became, it's from this whole push of like Marxism, leftism where we don't want to tell anybody that they're not us.

01:11:51.000 Like you don't have to be like us because, oh, you know, everybody's okay.

01:11:54.000 It's like, but actually, that's the problem.

01:11:56.000 When people don't want your culture, they will destroy it to bring in their own culture. 0.99

01:12:00.000 And I guess another issue I have is how you would define an ally, because I understand the barbarism of some of these other countries, but Israel is also barbaric in their own way, in a modern way, where they spy on us. 0.80

01:12:12.000 They've been caught spying on us.

01:12:13.000 I think that's not good.

01:12:15.000 Not a friend.

01:12:16.000 And if Netanyahu were governing everybody all the time.

01:12:19.000 Yeah, I know.

01:12:20.000 And if Netanyahu were a governor in this country, we would chastise him like we chastise Cuomo or Hokul or Newsom because he was as deranged and barbaric with the vaccine during lockdowns as they were.

01:12:20.000 And I don't like it.

01:12:33.000 And I just think that's completely anti-democratic.

01:12:36.000 As I'm kind of going back to like, to be an ally doesn't mean you have to be a perfect friend.

01:12:40.000 You just have to be a friend.

01:12:41.000 And certainly we can criticize the politics of Israel.

01:12:44.000 They're very leftist in many, many ways.

01:12:47.000 But the fact of the matter is they are still a real democracy in a place where that just isn't a thing.

01:12:51.000 And that's very important.

01:12:55.000 Again, we can tear down Netanyahu.

01:12:57.000 We can tear down their COVID positions. 0.98

01:12:59.000 We can tear down the fact that they have like the largest gay pride parade. 0.95

01:13:02.000 Whatever you want to do, that's fine.

01:13:04.000 I don't need to live there.

01:13:06.000 I just need to know that I'm safe at home because that country is safe and because their military is in place.

01:13:12.000 And that requires U.S. support, both financially and physically.

01:13:15.000 I hear you.

01:13:15.000 I just don't feel like them, their safety equals our safety here.

01:13:20.000 So, I mean, enough about, well, not enough, but like back to the kind of the point of it, the idea that, or what we started with, the idea of Israel governing the Gaza Strip.

01:13:33.000 That was the situation up until 2005, was it when they pulled out?

01:13:39.000 Right?

01:13:40.000 Yeah, 2006.

01:13:41.000 Hamas versus Fatah. 0.93

01:13:42.000 Yeah, so Israel was the governing authority.

01:13:46.000 And they pulled, not only did they pull the military out, but they pulled actual Jewish people that had homes in the Gaza Strip.

01:13:53.000 They pulled them out completely.

01:13:55.000 And that was the beginning of essentially 20 years of rockets into Israel, 20 years of there were suicide bombings for a while.

01:14:04.000 Those chilled out in the past, you know, the past, I guess, 10 years or so.

01:14:09.000 But there was, that was the, was the, the first intifada, was it was, that was the second intifada in 2006 is when that started, right?

01:14:16.000 Yes.

01:14:16.000 Yeah.

01:14:17.000 So it like this kind of the idea that that Israel would go back to that after 20 years of rockets, 20 years of terrorist attacks, and then October 7th.

01:14:28.000 I mean, was there a sense from anyone that Gaza was going to be governed by the Palestinians again?

01:14:37.000 Yeah, I think that was the hope.

01:14:38.000 I mean, I think that a lot of this ceasefire talk early on was that this wasn't going to be necessary.

01:14:43.000 You know, that Hamas would be like, okay, you've killed enough of us. 0.96

01:14:45.000 Like, we're done.

01:14:46.000 Here's your hostages back.

01:14:47.000 We're really sorry about October 7th.

01:14:49.000 Like, please leave us alone.

01:14:50.000 I think that that was at some point like a true hope that, and then we would give power back to the Gazans to like bring somebody else in besides Hamas. 0.91

01:14:58.000 I mean, there was talk of the Palestinian, the PL or the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, but like they don't have a whole lot of power.

01:15:05.000 Oh, no.

01:15:06.000 If I understand correctly, they get murdered by the Palestinians on the region. 1.00

01:15:10.000 There's no chance of any kind of like fair installment of power in Gaza right now. 0.68

01:15:14.000 I mean, it's just, I mean, so at this point, time's up.

01:15:16.000 What's the alternative?

01:15:17.000 There isn't one. 0.96

01:15:18.000 I mean, either that or we just let, I mean, Israel just lays down and says, all right, kill the rest of the hostages and just keep bombing us, I guess. 0.80

01:15:24.000 I mean, that's the only other choice. 0.95

01:15:26.000 I mean, yeah, I guess so.

01:15:29.000 Like I said, I kind of figured that that was going to be the situation because, you know, they had allowed the Gazans or the Palestinians to be the authority there. 0.98

01:15:41.000 And you got a terrorist organization in China.

01:15:43.000 I think they really hoped that it was going to work out that first time.

01:15:46.000 And it just, you know, clearly didn't.

01:15:48.000 Yeah, they underestimated the IQ rankings in Gaza.

01:15:52.000 Fortunately, it's like 80.

01:15:53.000 Yeah, like the West Bank and Gaza.

01:15:54.000 It's like two completely different stock of Palestinians. 1.00

01:15:57.000 I could go into that move.

01:15:59.000 I might be myself.

01:16:00.000 But in short, yeah, when the split happened, the West Bank kept a lot of the academics and there's like a sizable Christian population, or there was a sizable Christian population.

01:16:09.000 And then Gaza, unfortunately, with what happened, the stock there is not built for democracy by any stretch of the imagination.

01:16:16.000 They're built for fighting, which is, you know, that's how a lot of the world is.

01:16:19.000 And that's, it is what it is.

01:16:20.000 Like, you can't blanket democracy across the entire world.

01:16:22.000 It truly is amazing to me, like, having just recently been in a car driving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

01:16:27.000 Like, it is a very small country.

01:16:29.000 And when you look at the small country and then you look at how small the Gaza strip is and just its ability to produce this level of violence and disruption to the world is truly remarkable. 1.00

01:16:43.000 Yeah.

01:16:44.000 So, I mean, that's kind of the big problem: there's no partner for peace, so to speak.

01:16:48.000 I mean, you also look at it from the Palestinian perspective of like, if you had this territory for 2,000 years or whatnot, and then people rolled up, backed by colonial powers and created a country there, you'd probably get radicalized too.

01:17:03.000 But that's not a justification, obviously, for holding hostages or killing innocent civilians.

01:17:08.000 No, and that's not even really what, I mean, yes, they use that term like settlers, but most of this extremism begets extremism begets extremism.

01:17:15.000 Right.

01:17:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:16.000 I'm not like, it didn't even start.

01:17:17.000 I'm not endorsing that view.

01:17:18.000 They just like, that was actually like a recent adoption that they were like, you know what?

01:17:21.000 We were here first.

01:17:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:17:22.000 I'm not endorsing that.

01:17:23.000 But before that, it was about like the infidel. 0.99

01:17:25.000 Like it is really more about, you know, you like these extreme philosophers of Islamism, like, you know, Saeed Qutub from Egypt, who were like basically just everything anti-Islamist is evil and wrong.

01:17:39.000 And that's where this all started.

01:17:41.000 And now it's like, oh, the settlers.

01:17:42.000 But outside of Europe, like that guy was like born in the 20s.

01:17:45.000 I mean, he started.

01:17:46.000 But these are the books that they read.

01:17:48.000 I mean, these are the philosophies that they live by.

01:17:50.000 I mean, because outside of Europe until like 150, 200 years ago, nationalism wasn't even really a consideration anywhere, broadly speaking.

01:17:56.000 Side of like the Far East.

01:17:56.000 Yeah.

01:17:57.000 So like we've tried to export.

01:18:00.000 Well, I don't know if we tried, but we've exported a method of conceptualizing a nation that doesn't come inherently to law.

01:18:06.000 It was all about tribes.

01:18:07.000 So it was tribalism then.

01:18:09.000 Yeah, to a degree.

01:18:10.000 I mean, I don't know the intricacies of Palestinian anthropology in the 1500s, but the way the Ottomans governed is it was very tribal.

01:18:17.000 They kind of just.

01:18:18.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:18:18.000 Okay, so you're talking about nationalism in the Middle East.

01:18:21.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:21.000 Right.

01:18:22.000 So it's like, I mean, the way that the way that those societies were structured was not how they are now, where it's like a European sense.

01:18:29.000 We have a flag.

01:18:30.000 You pledge allegiance to that flag.

01:18:31.000 You have an anthem.

01:18:32.000 You go to the Olympics.

01:18:33.000 That's a very modern, that's a very modern way of conceptualizing a nation.

01:18:38.000 And conceptualizing a nation in and of itself is a model.

01:18:38.000 Yeah.

01:18:40.000 Right.

01:18:41.000 Ironically, a really good example of a nationalized Arab country was Iraq in 2003.

01:18:45.000 Yeah.

01:18:46.000 Yeah, true.

01:18:47.000 Yeah.

01:18:49.000 We're going to jump to this story here from the post-millennial.

01:18:49.000 All right.

01:18:53.000 The New York Post to expand West launched California Post in early 2026.

01:19:00.000 The New York Post is heading to the West Coast and will be launching the California Post in early 2026.

01:19:06.000 Robert Thompson, CEO of the Outlet's parent company, News Corp, said in a statement, Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of the Post as an antidote to the jaundice jaded journalism that is sadly proliferated.

01:19:20.000 We are at a pivotal moment for the city and the state.

01:19:23.000 There is no doubt that the Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers who are starved for serious reporting and puckish wit.

01:19:32.000 I think this will be great because the New York Post has the most wonderful headlines and to see them coming from not only the New York Post, but from the California Post, I think it'd be great.

01:19:45.000 What do you guys think?

01:19:46.000 I agree.

01:19:47.000 I wish I had something to push back on, but I've been excited about this all day.

01:19:52.000 I'm surprised it took them this long.

01:19:53.000 But it really shows how much the market for this has grown on the West Coast.

01:19:58.000 There are very amount of people fed up on the West Coast is at a fever pitch.

01:20:04.000 And again, I think that a lot of people are just kind of stuck there.

01:20:06.000 They can't move across the country.

01:20:08.000 And so they don't.

01:20:10.000 And I think that they've put up with a lot.

01:20:12.000 I mean, especially the crime stuff, the no jail sentences, like putting people out with no bail and that kind of thing.

01:20:19.000 It's just nuts.

01:20:20.000 People getting their houses broken into in Beverly Hills. 0.98

01:20:24.000 And then this big white-tooth fool Gavin Newsome, you know, going around. 0.97

01:20:30.000 I mean, yeah, if we thought the New York Post headlines are good, wait till they get access to like heroin. 0.99

01:20:35.000 Oh, yeah.

01:20:36.000 These headlines are going to be good.

01:20:38.000 They're going to Erewhon.

01:20:38.000 Oh, yeah.

01:20:39.000 They're just like shooting up.

01:20:40.000 Downtown LA, they've got Skid Row up there on the front page.

01:20:44.000 It said they're actually going to try to do Mars as well.

01:20:47.000 So you might get headlines from Mars.

01:20:48.000 New York, the Mars Post.

01:20:51.000 So, yeah, I'm here for it.

01:20:51.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:53.000 I think that'll be nice.

01:20:55.000 I mean, is this a comment on the state of publishing out of the state of California?

01:21:02.000 Or is this, you know, is the market calling for this?

01:21:06.000 Or do you think that the Post is just kind of jumping in saying, hey, I think we can get some more journalism here?

01:21:11.000 I think there's a big restructuring happening right now of publishing.

01:21:14.000 Publishing's dying, dead, maybe.

01:21:16.000 And it's trying to find its way back.

01:21:18.000 We're seeing like Larry Ellison's son trying to buy the free press for $250 million.

01:21:23.000 I might have seen Tim Dylan talk about that yesterday.

01:21:23.000 Was it really?

01:21:25.000 But it doesn't, people are trying to make moves in media and they should.

01:21:25.000 It was hilarious.

01:21:30.000 I mean, it's important.

01:21:32.000 I just hope they don't use AI writers.

01:21:34.000 I hope that Post doesn't embrace, because you know it's going to happen.

01:21:37.000 How many articles have you read that are AI?

01:21:39.000 I'm sure.

01:21:40.000 I didn't know.

01:21:40.000 I'm sure that you've read plenty of them.

01:21:42.000 I know I have.

01:21:43.000 And they're terrible.

01:21:44.000 I bet you've read some great ones that you don't even know.

01:21:46.000 I'm sure there are.

01:21:47.000 I'm sure.

01:21:47.000 Because I'm looking at terrible little articles that are three paragraphs.

01:21:51.000 I don't know because it opens up.

01:21:52.000 Sure, here's an article about.

01:21:54.000 Yeah, so I don't know whose opinion on AI I find more objectionable, yours or Elad's.

01:21:59.000 At least you have a healthy fear of it, whereas Elad thinks that it's just a gimmick.

01:22:04.000 A lot's like, oh, it's just like the dot-com bubble.

01:22:07.000 It's like, yeah, the dot-com bubble was a bubble, but like the internet is still here and it's a good thing.

01:22:14.000 So like there was substance to it.

01:22:15.000 I don't know if it's going to be as apocalyptic as I initially thought, but it's going to be bad.

01:22:20.000 Yeah.

01:22:21.000 I think I do agree with a lot saying they're good at branding.

01:22:24.000 The AI people are very good at branding.

01:22:26.000 But we're seeing people losing their jobs to AI.

01:22:30.000 And it's definitely going to come for publishing.

01:22:30.000 Yeah.

01:22:32.000 So hopefully not, because I see like there's a veteran reporter working on this.

01:22:35.000 And hopefully they actually have human.

01:22:37.000 Veteran reporter R2D2.

01:22:39.000 The interesting thing.

01:22:40.000 Autopen.

01:22:40.000 Yeah.

01:22:41.000 The interesting thing too is it's not that like there's a lot of new publications.

01:22:44.000 Like there still is an appetite for digital media.

01:22:46.000 It's the fact that they're trying print.

01:22:48.000 I'm like, oh man, there's someone here that really do it in New York and they do it successfully.

01:22:54.000 I wrote an op-ed in the post maybe three or four months ago and I sent friends out because I wasn't in New York and I sent friends out to go get me some copies to save and like they couldn't find them.

01:23:03.000 Really?

01:23:04.000 It was like sold out.

01:23:05.000 I'm sure because of my op-ed of it.

01:23:08.000 Of course it was.

01:23:09.000 But it's amazing.

01:23:10.000 It's almost like novelty or something.

01:23:13.000 People like enjoy it having the smell of the ink and the paper.

01:23:17.000 I had to go to like eight different bodegas when the Trump mugshot came out.

01:23:20.000 Well that I understand it is kind of turning into a bit of a I think Prince having a thing right now.

01:23:20.000 Yeah.

01:23:27.000 Like I love the County Highway.

01:23:29.000 You know about this Walter Kearns publishing.

01:23:31.000 It's a newspaper and you can only get it as a newspaper.

01:23:34.000 It's not online.

01:23:35.000 And it's amazing.

01:23:36.000 You know, I had a story in there a year ago, but you get it in the mail.

01:23:38.000 It's just amazing.

01:23:39.000 I have a paper and beautiful written stories and it's incredible.

01:23:43.000 I think it's out every two months, but I see that happen.

01:23:44.000 They're like on a countrywide tour right now with the paper.

01:23:47.000 It's incredible.

01:23:48.000 I see more people trying to do that.

01:23:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:50.000 There's like a bunch of these like lifters on Twitter that have like rebuilt the Man's World magazine.

01:23:55.000 And it's amazing.

01:23:56.000 Yeah, they send out a big glossy man's world magazine like every three months.

01:24:00.000 And then the op-eds are just written by like full-blown like schizophrenics on Twitter.

01:24:04.000 It's awesome.

01:24:05.000 No, I'm not.

01:24:05.000 I'm interested.

01:24:06.000 I want this.

01:24:07.000 Yeah, but it's like really awkward when you're coffee table because there'll be like nudity on the cover.

01:24:11.000 It's like this, it's actually much more hard to explain. 0.92

01:24:13.000 This is porn.

01:24:15.000 Reality is much more complicated. 0.84

01:24:18.000 Stop porn at that.

01:24:19.000 Don't read the article.

01:24:22.000 No, I mean, I think, I don't know how much copy matters when we're talking about like AI inside of this thing.

01:24:27.000 Like it's the headlines, right?

01:24:29.000 And I think that the fact the fact that the stories are being written is more important than the way they're written these days.

01:24:34.000 And I think that they've identified that at the New York Post and they're doing very well with that.

01:24:38.000 Yeah.

01:24:39.000 Do you think they have a lot of AI writers right now?

01:24:41.000 I wouldn't accuse them of that.

01:24:41.000 I don't know.

01:24:42.000 I think that's low down dirty.

01:24:44.000 So, you know, who knows?

01:24:46.000 They're cheap.

01:24:47.000 Tell us what papers do use AI.

01:24:47.000 So, you know.

01:24:49.000 I wish I could.

01:24:50.000 I've single them out right now.

01:24:52.000 I do know the AI flags now because I just, I've like looked them up.

01:24:55.000 I actually asked AI what the AI flags are.

01:24:58.000 It throws you off.

01:24:58.000 Yeah.

01:24:59.000 It's like, oh, yeah.

01:25:00.000 Well, double dash, isn't that like a double dash is a big one, which actually stinks for me because I actually love the double.

01:25:00.000 Yeah.

01:25:06.000 I use the M dash all the time.

01:25:08.000 I love the M dash.

01:25:09.000 And I don't think that's coming after you.

01:25:12.000 They are coming after you.

01:25:14.000 I've been feeding it.

01:25:15.000 If you use the M Dash, the AI is using a cause.

01:25:18.000 We use the M dash.

01:25:19.000 It's a copyright style.

01:25:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:25:20.000 So it would sound real.

01:25:22.000 I think consumers have found the workaround because there's particular emojis that you use in a certain context that AI can, because it doesn't have a soul, it could just never really figure out entirely.

01:25:31.000 So like most journalists.

01:25:32.000 Like when I just tastefully drop a crying emoji on the end of it, it's like, if you're a human being, you know what that means.

01:25:38.000 And AI can never truly unlock the meaning of that.

01:25:41.000 There's a deeper, it's deep.

01:25:43.000 It's actually really deep.

01:25:44.000 Phil, you should be in tears right now.

01:25:46.000 The Post Millennium went on to say, as the Post is expanding its reach, other outlets have had to cut back.

01:25:52.000 CNN laid off hundreds of employees in January.

01:25:54.000 And in June, the company was reportedly expecting additional layoffs on the horizon.

01:25:58.000 His parent company, Warner Brothers, Discovery announces corporate breakup.

01:26:03.000 Other outlets such as Vox Media, HuffPost, and NBC News have seen layoffs in recent months.

01:26:08.000 So this is something that it is actually surprising that the, you know, the Times is going to be expanding in an air, or I'm sorry, the Post is going to be expanding in an age when clearly there isn't really an appetite for at least the legacy news, right?

01:26:26.000 You know, I mean, if CNN, do you think that this is a symptom of people not having an appetite for the legacy news?

01:26:33.000 Or do you think that it's the news that those outlets were providing?

01:26:38.000 Do you think that people are sick and tired of the left-leaning bent on it?

01:26:41.000 I think it's, I don't even think it's that.

01:26:43.000 I think that we're almost giving them too much credit there.

01:26:45.000 I think that one of the things, like I have a TV in my office, I watch it constantly because my job is putting people on TV to talk about stuff.

01:26:52.000 And so I'm just seeing like what stories are being covered, what's going on.

01:26:56.000 And I watch Fox a lot.

01:26:57.000 You know, I know Fox and I, you know, I understand their system, but I flip back and forth to like other channels and I'm not getting news.

01:27:06.000 Like that's the problem.

01:27:07.000 Like I want actual news.

01:27:09.000 And I understand it's an opinion.

01:27:10.000 There's never been like unbiased journalism.

01:27:13.000 That's like a myth.

01:27:14.000 But then it's like, you know, CNN is so, you know, they're very emotional about whatever's happening.

01:27:19.000 And it's like, there's big news happening.

01:27:21.000 And I like want to hear about this hurricane.

01:27:23.000 And like, I can't get it.

01:27:24.000 And it's, you know, I'm not trying to, you know, I appreciate my, the work we do with CNN, but I do know that they came in behind Hallmark and HGTV in the last ad week ratings report.

01:27:34.000 So brutal.

01:27:36.000 They're clearly doing it, you know, they're clearly not doing something right.

01:27:39.000 They used to be the name in 24-7 news.

01:27:42.000 You know, that was, if you wanted to know what was going on, you turned on CNN and they have really lost that connection.

01:27:48.000 Notice they lost the airports too.

01:27:50.000 They lost the airports.

01:27:51.000 I mean, that should have been the death knell, right?

01:27:53.000 And I, you know, I wish them well.

01:27:55.000 I really hope I think just like, you know, I, I, I hope that the Democratic Party gets their act together because I think that we are stronger when we have two strong political parties working against.

01:28:05.000 I think by get their act together, do you mean stop pushing for socialism?

01:28:10.000 Well, yes, I focus more on like that they become a real competitor.

01:28:14.000 I feel like, first of all, you know, conservatives get soft when they don't have an adversary that's actually, you know, up to snuff.

01:28:20.000 But the same thing with media.

01:28:22.000 I think that everybody's better when they have actual, you know, competition.

01:28:25.000 Everybody has to do their best.

01:28:26.000 Everybody has to like find that footing in the news and continue getting new viewers and finding new audiences.

01:28:33.000 And, you know, so it's just, it's not what you want to see.

01:28:36.000 The other thing is, speaking specifically about like cable news, people are cutting cords.

01:28:42.000 You can't stop that.

01:28:44.000 Nobody's getting cable back once they lose it.

01:28:47.000 So if you can't figure out what your like streaming option is or how people are going to get your product without having a cable subscription, then you're already way behind.

01:28:55.000 And the last election showed that podcasts and substacks and personal indie media dominated these guys.

01:29:01.000 Dominantly.

01:29:02.000 That's why Trump and Vance use those platforms to help get elected.

01:29:06.000 Smartly.

01:29:06.000 And Kamala failed at that.

01:29:08.000 She might have paid call him whatever, Caller Daddy podcast for a whole fake set that didn't work. 0.99

01:29:13.000 They hardly got the number.

01:29:14.000 Like Trump's numbers on the Rogan podcast are insane.

01:29:18.000 And her numbers on the Call Me Daddy, whatever it's called, is I think they didn't break a million.

01:29:23.000 Maybe they did by now.

01:29:24.000 I'll never forget the guy who ditched her interview because she said bacon was a spice and he was so offended by the hot take.

01:29:31.000 It was a hot take guy.

01:29:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:29:33.000 And he just canceled it.

01:29:34.000 It was like a presidential candidate.

01:29:36.000 Yeah, I do remember that.

01:29:36.000 Oh, yeah, you're right.

01:29:37.000 It's that bad.

01:29:39.000 Yeah, the competition thing is really slept on too, because that's the reason late nights suck so much now.

01:29:44.000 Because Colbert got canceled and they're all showing up.

01:29:46.000 Like, we stand with you, Steve.

01:29:47.000 It was like back in the day, Leno would have like killed Letterman if he had the opportunity.

01:29:50.000 For sure.

01:29:51.000 For sure.

01:29:52.000 They would have hired a hit on him if he jumped him in ratings.

01:29:52.000 Yep.

01:29:55.000 Bring that back.

01:29:55.000 They hated it.

01:29:56.000 Like all you had to do is be funny.

01:29:58.000 Like, oh, we stand with you.

01:29:59.000 It's like, oh, we're brave.

01:30:00.000 It's like, this is a late night comedy show.

01:30:02.000 Like, this is not about who's bravest.

01:30:04.000 I don't need to turn on like late night comedy show to get my political opinion.

01:30:04.000 Yeah.

01:30:08.000 And there's nothing brave about doing a TV.

01:30:11.000 There was something lazy about not writing jokes, however.

01:30:13.000 That's why there's no competition because there's no competition anywhere.

01:30:16.000 Like, you go watch the gymnastics now and they're like friends and hugging each other.

01:30:19.000 Like, they used to snap legs to get on stage back in the day.

01:30:21.000 And now, what are we doing now?

01:30:22.000 We're all on the same team.

01:30:24.000 Bring back Nancy Kerrigan. 1.00

01:30:25.000 Yeah, bring back a little bit.

01:30:26.000 Kanye Harding days.

01:30:27.000 Yeah, we're not the same team.

01:30:28.000 That's why the UFC's box.

01:30:30.000 That's why the UFC has such great ratings because it's actual competition.

01:30:34.000 They actually, even the guys that, like, you know, there are some guys that show each other respect and stuff like that, but they're still trying to punch the other person's face off their head.

01:30:44.000 Yeah.

01:30:45.000 Yeah.

01:30:46.000 And I think you see it the same thing in like, you know, in football and in some sports, you know, WNBA.

01:30:54.000 Yeah, the WN.

01:30:55.000 Well, there's only a couple girls that get attacked in the WNBA. 1.00

01:31:00.000 But when it comes, you know, when it comes to at least mostly men's sports, it's actual competition.

01:31:04.000 But even still, like in the regular NBA, the viewership is down.

01:31:10.000 Yeah.

01:31:11.000 I assume that it's the same with the NFL.

01:31:15.000 But the Super Bowl was really well viewed.

01:31:17.000 Like last year, it was still a big deal.

01:31:20.000 So it's not, you know, ubiquitous.

01:31:23.000 But yeah, I think that the fact that there's a whole lot of kumbaya and everything is actually detrimental to people that are viewers because viewers want to see that competition and they want it to be real.

01:31:35.000 They don't want it to be manufactured.

01:31:38.000 Yeah, it's very sad.

01:31:39.000 Also, I want more segments where like people disagree with each other.

01:31:39.000 Yeah.

01:31:42.000 Like, I feel like that's fine.

01:31:44.000 And people are, I don't know.

01:31:46.000 I didn't really book a lot of people.

01:31:47.000 You know, I used to book on Fox.

01:31:48.000 I didn't really book a lot of people that were like, now, first of all, we did try to book some people that absolutely just wouldn't have anything to do with our network or our show.

01:31:55.000 So there was that problem as well.

01:31:57.000 But, you know, I think putting together like the, you know, this person has this opinion and this one has the opposite.

01:32:02.000 It doesn't have to be a bloodbath.

01:32:03.000 Like, it can just be like a civil conversation.

01:32:06.000 These review shows have like picked up that entire market.

01:32:08.000 Because he had like what Crossfire back in the day was.

01:32:10.000 Oh, yeah, Crossfire was great.

01:32:11.000 But now it's the culture war with Tim Pool.

01:32:13.000 Look at Pierce Morgan or Pierce Pierce.

01:32:15.000 Pierce Morgan.

01:32:16.000 I mean, that is one step away from Jerry Springer, right?

01:32:19.000 They're not in the same, they're not in the same building, so they can't throw chairs at each other, but it would be kind of fun.

01:32:26.000 But legitimately, like the Culture War with Tim, you know, Tim Pool's Culture War.

01:32:30.000 But even around this table, like, we don't all agree on everything.

01:32:33.000 I mean, me and Shane will go back and forth on the moon.

01:32:37.000 On anything.

01:32:38.000 At least we agree the moon is there.

01:32:39.000 There we go.

01:32:40.000 That's fair.

01:32:41.000 That's fair.

01:32:42.000 We agree that the moon is there.

01:32:43.000 What the moon is, that's where we the difference comes in.

01:32:46.000 But you can tune into Inverted World Live tonight at 10 o'clock to find out.

01:32:51.000 You're going to find out what the moon is?

01:32:52.000 Yeah, we're going to be debunking that.

01:32:53.000 Yeah, I'm going to pull it up on Wikipedia tonight.

01:32:58.000 That's my source of information.

01:32:58.000 Great.

01:33:00.000 Wikipedia, that's great news.

01:33:03.000 I'm afraid to ask a little bit.

01:33:06.000 I think the moon is actually a ball of rock that probably originated with Earth, something smashed into the Earth.

01:33:14.000 Whereas I think Shane thinks it's hollow.

01:33:17.000 I don't really know.

01:33:19.000 I think it could be a mothership for an ancient breakaway civilization.

01:33:23.000 I think Earth is only a little over 6,000 years old.

01:33:26.000 6,000.

01:33:27.000 Okay.

01:33:28.000 Yeah.

01:33:28.000 I mean, God made Earth in a day.

01:33:31.000 Well, you know, in seven days.

01:33:32.000 So I stick with that.

01:33:33.000 I'm a Bible thumper.

01:33:34.000 Technically, he made Earth in a day.

01:33:36.000 Well, Earth, but like there was seven days there of creation.

01:33:39.000 Okay, so 6-1 was a rest day.

01:33:39.000 All the other stuff.

01:33:41.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:33:42.000 And there's people who disagree on what a day means and all that stuff, but I'm pretty strict now in my mind with 6,000, a little over 6,000.

01:33:49.000 So the moon being a rock that hits Earth millions of years ago is just all made up to me.

01:33:54.000 Take time.

01:33:54.000 Okay.

01:33:55.000 So we disagree.

01:33:56.000 There you go.

01:33:56.000 Gotcha.

01:33:58.000 But he'll.

01:33:59.000 We're cool.

01:34:00.000 We can get along.

01:34:00.000 Yeah.

01:34:01.000 We can get along.

01:34:02.000 Yeah.

01:34:02.000 We don't need the moon.

01:34:04.000 We don't need to agree on the moon.

01:34:06.000 Let's see.

01:34:06.000 All right.

01:34:07.000 We've got one more last bit here. 0.85

01:34:09.000 Just for laughs, for shits and giggles, we're going to go to a video that Alex Stein put up. 0.86

01:34:16.000 He was hazing MSNBC, and it is absolutely wonderful.

01:34:21.000 So you guys will enjoy this.

01:34:23.000 We just watched the speaker gavel out with a whole lot of anger, Kelly.

01:34:27.000 Here's the state of play.

01:34:28.000 Here's what.

01:34:29.000 MSNBC saw.

01:34:30.000 Hey, why are you?

01:34:31.000 MSNBC saw.

01:34:32.000 I'll talk to you for a second.

01:34:33.000 MSNBC saw.

01:34:35.000 Can I talk to you for a second?

01:34:36.000 Sometimes this happens, and we understand that that can happen.

01:34:40.000 And while we love free speech, we're going to keep control here.

01:34:43.000 So, Ryan, thank you.

01:34:45.000 Shaq, thank you.

01:34:46.000 A volatile story.

01:34:48.000 We'll be following it.

01:34:49.000 And apparently, not only Shaq cleaned up.

01:34:54.000 Okay.

01:34:56.000 Stay with us here because Ryan has cleared the set, as we would like to say.

01:35:02.000 The gentleman moved on.

01:35:03.000 So, Ryan, let me turn back to you.

01:35:05.000 Nicely handled there.

01:35:06.000 Can you give us an update on as you were walking us through this?

01:35:11.000 We'll all take a breath there.

01:35:12.000 Maybe not.

01:35:14.000 Maybe not.

01:35:16.000 Okay.

01:35:18.000 See, hold on one second.

01:35:18.000 Go ahead, Ryan.

01:35:23.000 Okay.

01:35:25.000 We're just going to pull the plug there.

01:35:26.000 Thank you, Ryan.

01:35:29.000 Yes.

01:35:30.000 There is a whole lot of anger here, as you can see.

01:35:34.000 So we're going to get a cut to a more of this and come back to you when we can.

01:35:37.000 Fair enough.

01:35:38.000 And we recognize people are expressing their views and we're there to cover it.

01:35:41.000 You do that job.

01:35:42.000 We'll move on with our audience.

01:35:44.000 Thanks for your patience.

01:35:46.000 I wish Alex ran really quick to the other screen.

01:35:48.000 He's just lampooning.

01:35:49.000 He's just lampooning you guys.

01:35:51.000 Just awesome.

01:35:52.000 Alex, she's like so smug about being diplomatic.

01:35:56.000 All the mops.

01:35:58.000 I think my number one comment, like having been someone who worked in a control room for a long time, is that she handled it very badly.

01:36:03.000 I mean, just like very heckish.

01:36:06.000 We believe in free speech now. 0.81

01:36:08.000 Get rid of that girl. 1.00

01:36:09.000 We're in a whole free speech.

01:36:10.000 I don't know if that was like a miscommunication with her in the control room.

01:36:12.000 And also the fact that, you know, there was not enough people standing around their on-air talent to stop him from being harassed on air is pretty sad, dude.

01:36:20.000 Just like the guy was like, this is my moment.

01:36:21.000 Yeah.

01:36:22.000 He's like, oh, we're cutting away.

01:36:23.000 Actually, here's what's going on.

01:36:23.000 No, we're not.

01:36:26.000 The comedic timing.

01:36:27.000 Speaking of, you know, jokes are hard to write, but he nailed it with that.

01:36:30.000 It was great.

01:36:31.000 Yeah.

01:36:32.000 All right.

01:36:32.000 We're going to go to your super chat.

01:36:34.000 So smash the like button, share the show with all your friends.

01:36:38.000 Head on over to Timcast.com.

01:36:40.000 Become a member so you can join us on our Discord and head over to rumble.com where you can join and watch our after show, which we'll be going to in about 30 or so minutes.

01:36:52.000 But for right now, we are going to read your super chats.

01:36:58.000 Let's see. 0.61

01:37:00.000 Peter Gohax says, since the left likes to change definitions, can we change the meaning of they, them to fat or ugly, mentally unstable person? 0.96

01:37:11.000 I mean, we can try. 0.57

01:37:12.000 I don't know that it's going to stick, but we can try.

01:37:15.000 Let me see here.

01:37:17.000 Oh, wait.

01:37:18.000 That was the wrong button.

01:37:21.000 There we go.

01:37:22.000 Okay.

01:37:24.000 Let's see.

01:37:29.000 Rage LB says Tate Cast is best cast.

01:37:31.000 You've got fans, Tate.

01:37:32.000 Let's go, fans.

01:37:33.000 Dude, my mom's going to be stoked. 1.00

01:37:35.000 You are, you are stellar.

01:37:36.000 You're great at your job, Tate.

01:37:37.000 So they want to let you know.

01:37:39.000 Unless they're talking about a different tape.

01:37:40.000 Do you know how hard it is to be named Tate in the Andrew Tate era?

01:37:43.000 Because I get on Twitter and they're like, Tate is a child trafficker.

01:37:47.000 He's the worst person ever.

01:37:48.000 I'm like, what did I do?

01:37:49.000 And then I'm like, oh, that guy.

01:37:50.000 Yeah, I forgot.

01:37:51.000 My bad.

01:37:51.000 Yeah, you know.

01:37:53.000 Sad stuff.

01:37:54.000 Let's see.

01:37:54.000 Thank you.

01:37:56.000 What's this?

01:37:58.000 BH, is that?

01:37:59.000 What is BH says, hi, team?

01:37:59.000 Yeah.

01:38:01.000 Would you consider each interviewing either Joel Jamal or Craig Kelly from Australia to talk about the beginning of social credit scores, what they call under 16 ban.

01:38:12.000 Tim had a bad take a few days ago.

01:38:15.000 Look, man, everybody has a take that you're going to call bad at some point.

01:38:20.000 But I don't think we would be avert to interviewing them, but that's not a question that I'm actually in a position to answer.

01:38:32.000 We don't call them bad takes somewhere.

01:38:33.000 They're called L takes. 0.99

01:38:34.000 It's an update to the vocabulary.

01:38:36.000 Get with the program.

01:38:37.000 Tim only has W takes, so I don't believe that.

01:38:40.000 Let's see.

01:38:43.000 Now they disappeared.

01:38:45.000 No rants.

01:38:48.000 What's up, Rumble?

01:38:50.000 I think the rants.

01:38:53.000 I guess so.

01:38:56.000 Let's see.

01:38:58.000 Robert Bradbury says we shouldn't arrest them.

01:38:58.000 All right.

01:39:01.000 We shouldn't kick them out.

01:39:02.000 If they don't show up, their vote should be considered a no-vote.

01:39:06.000 Well, I assume you're talking about in Texas.

01:39:09.000 And I mean, that's not a bad idea, right?

01:39:12.000 Yeah, I think most actual state legislatures do work that way.

01:39:16.000 But unfortunately, Texas's Constitution is not written that way.

01:39:19.000 So a lone star state legislature.

01:39:22.000 Yeah, there's going to have to be some more work to get to that point.

01:39:25.000 I agree.

01:39:26.000 Strongly.

01:39:27.000 I think if you abscond, then you've passed your vote.

01:39:30.000 They literally ask for this to happen because of the way it's structured.

01:39:32.000 Like you said, they don't even have a mechanism for that. 0.89

01:39:35.000 I'd probably need to read why this is the case, but it's ridiculous.

01:39:37.000 And the fact that the floor is two-thirds, you're just asking for this to happen.

01:39:41.000 I just vacate the seats.

01:39:43.000 You don't even need to arrest them.

01:39:43.000 Yeah, just vacate him.

01:39:44.000 I think that's a great idea.

01:39:46.000 Abbott should just say, okay, you're all fired.

01:39:49.000 Yeah.

01:39:50.000 We'll get to spend a bunch of money on the election.

01:39:55.000 It's really true.

01:39:56.000 I mean, it's truly despicable.

01:39:58.000 I mean, to be elected to these positions and then to behave this way.

01:40:01.000 You know, and what, how is this serving the people of Texas?

01:40:01.000 Yeah.

01:40:05.000 Right.

01:40:05.000 You know.

01:40:05.000 Yeah.

01:40:06.000 They're just trying to score brownie points with flying off to other states.

01:40:09.000 You know, there's nothing to do with it.

01:40:10.000 And if you're going to at least go to somewhere nice, Illinois?

01:40:12.000 I mean, I'd be offended as a constituent.

01:40:13.000 I'm like, you think Illinois is better than Galveston?

01:40:16.000 Yeah.

01:40:16.000 I dare you to move there.

01:40:16.000 What are we doing here?

01:40:18.000 If they're in Hawaii, it'd be like, well, you know, I mean, get it, I guess.

01:40:22.000 Well, I mean, Illinois or New York, both of them should be.

01:40:24.000 Yeah, what do you go hang on Rochester?

01:40:26.000 Is that a big protest?

01:40:27.000 Okay.

01:40:28.000 They're going to go to the chance.

01:40:29.000 Yeah.

01:40:29.000 They're going to go.

01:40:31.000 Check out some shows of the chance. 0.99

01:40:33.000 Get kicked in the face. 0.98

01:40:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:40:35.000 I've had some friends had broken noses.

01:40:37.000 I've been kicked in the head and converge.

01:40:41.000 Head walking will commence during the saddest day.

01:40:43.000 On that note, I'm going to head out to my show.

01:40:45.000 All right.

01:40:45.000 Thank you guys so much.

01:40:47.000 Tate, that was fun.

01:40:47.000 Hey, dude.

01:40:48.000 See you guys.

01:40:49.000 So next time, Inverted World Live tonight, 10 o'clock p.m.

01:40:49.000 Love you.

01:40:52.000 That's 3 p.m. right now, right?

01:40:55.000 We'll be live till midnight taking phone calls.

01:40:58.000 Phone lines will be open at 10:30.

01:41:00.000 If you've got a weird story, give us a call.

01:41:01.000 And we're going to talk about a blob moving towards what's going on with that moon.

01:41:04.000 In the moon.

01:41:05.000 I'll tell you guys about the moon.

01:41:06.000 Yeah.

01:41:06.000 Let me know.

01:41:06.000 See you guys.

01:41:07.000 See it.

01:41:08.000 All right.

01:41:10.000 Let's see.

01:41:12.000 James Weidenhoft says, uncap the house and restore the limit of no more than 30K constituents per U.S. rep. This would result no more gerrymandering and no more need for massive campaign funds.

01:41:24.000 All you would do is talk to your neighbors and get elected.

01:41:27.000 Well, I don't know if that's actually what would happen.

01:41:31.000 It sounds good in theory, but I don't know that it would be good to have thousands of House members because if it's 30,000, 30,000 people.

01:41:43.000 You would have like, would be 100,000?

01:41:46.000 Yeah, it'd be like something like, it would literally look like the Senate in Star Wars, you know, those.

01:41:53.000 Whenever I remember from government classes, the reason we landed on the number we did is because that's as many desks as we could possibly fit in there.

01:41:59.000 Yeah.

01:42:00.000 It's almost annoying sometimes to go back and like realize the wisdom of our founding fathers.

01:42:05.000 Like, you know, it's like, that is frustrating that they came up with that, but it makes sense.

01:42:11.000 Yeah, I mean, one of the things that people, I understand people's frustration with the government, right?

01:42:16.000 Like, there's the argument, oh, nothing ever gets done, et cetera, et cetera.

01:42:21.000 And a lot of people don't realize that that's actually by design, you know, or they forget that that's by design.

01:42:27.000 Everyone says they don't like Congress except for their own congressperson.

01:42:32.000 You know, the Congress has a ridiculously low approval rating, but then you ask individuals, do you like your congressperson?

01:42:41.000 And overwhelmingly, they're like, oh, yeah, mine's good.

01:42:44.000 So, yes, you don't like Congress because Congress doesn't get anything done.

01:42:49.000 Most of the time, that's because Congress isn't supposed to be getting the things that we're doing.

01:42:52.000 They actually make the argument that they get far too much done in terms of these omnibus bills that are full of stuff we don't even know about.

01:42:59.000 Did you know this?

01:43:00.000 And I'm going to have to fact check, but I heard from a smart person that Ted Cruz included that the space shuttle that's kept at Udverhazi in D.C. or Dulles is he put it in the Big Beautiful bill that that was going to be moved to Texas.

01:43:15.000 Like nobody noticed.

01:43:17.000 It's awesome.

01:43:18.000 Just as a point of contention.

01:43:20.000 It reminds me like that's our shuttle.

01:43:22.000 Yeah.

01:43:23.000 That's like France did in the Treaty of Versailles, where they're like, by the way, champagne can only be made in champagne.

01:43:29.000 It's just white wine.

01:43:30.000 I'm like, they slip that in at the last second.

01:43:32.000 I didn't know that was in the treaty.

01:43:34.000 That is, that's very wrong.

01:43:36.000 So Ted Cruz is moving like France right now.

01:43:38.000 What's going on?

01:43:39.000 Your interview really rattled him, I think.

01:43:41.000 I mean, but the point that I'm making is like people want to see federal laws that should actually be state laws.

01:43:49.000 And really, this is a point that we make regularly.

01:43:52.000 Like, if you focus on your local reps and your state, then you'll have far more tangible results than if you try to get things done at a federal level.

01:44:02.000 There is a place for federal legislation, but it's probably not what you're thinking about.

01:44:08.000 And if we had a government that was actually limited by the Constitution, that didn't abuse the Commerce Clause, didn't abuse the necessary and proper clause, and actually protected your rights that are alleged to be protected in the Bill of Rights, you could have more effective government at the state level, and people would probably be happier with the results that they get.

01:44:35.000 But people think that there should be the same laws in California as in New York and as in Florida.

01:44:43.000 And that just doesn't make any sense, you know.

01:44:47.000 But trying to convince people of that is, you know, like hurting cats.

01:44:51.000 It really is.

01:44:52.000 And it's scary because, you know, how often the power on Capitol Hill changes.

01:44:57.000 And one year, you can have lots of Democrats who want these crazy labor bills that are harmful to contractors and like the PRO Act, which fortunately hasn't happened yet, but is always looming over our heads.

01:45:11.000 And we saw it happen in California.

01:45:13.000 It's a disaster.

01:45:14.000 But happening at the federal level is a whole new level of terrifying and subverts the will of the people again.

01:45:21.000 All right, let's see.

01:45:25.000 Hale Gailey says, Luis Rossman did a YouTube series on the dysfunction of New York City real estate.

01:45:31.000 It's an over-leveraged house of cards that is one bad quarter away from collapse.

01:45:36.000 I mean, that could probably be said about a few different industries, but I guess that would be something that people have to have to look into and make their own calls.

01:45:53.000 SA Federale says, Shane literally created the resurrection of Coast to Coast within the Tim Cast family.

01:46:00.000 That's exactly the point.

01:46:01.000 It's great. 0.99

01:46:02.000 Y'all motherfuckers better at least be catching the reruns. 1.00

01:46:07.000 That she is enthralling. 0.99

01:46:08.000 Coast to Coast is great.

01:46:10.000 There's a lot of times where all that remains had long overnight drives after shows while we were still touring in vans and we would be listening to Coast to Coast AM.

01:46:21.000 And Ollie was a huge, huge fan.

01:46:24.000 So if he was driving, you could guarantee that Art Bell was on and Coast to Coast AM was going for the late night drive.

01:46:33.000 And yes, that's exactly what Shane has done with Inverted World Live.

01:46:38.000 And you should definitely go check it out after the show if you haven't checked it out already.

01:46:43.000 It's a lot of fun.

01:46:44.000 And Shane and Brando are great hosts.

01:46:48.000 So Isaac says, why should we worry about Iran having nukes when the nuclear-armed countries in Europe are becoming Muslim-majority countries? 0.99

01:46:57.000 Well, I mean, France and the UK are the only countries in Europe with nukes, I believe, right?

01:47:04.000 So, I mean, the most Islamic countries, though.

01:47:07.000 Well, yeah, they are the most.

01:47:08.000 They are the most.

01:47:09.000 France legit by, I think, 2055 will have not a Muslim majority, but a Muslim-descended majority.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, I mean, plurality, sorry.

01:47:18.000 Still not run by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

01:47:20.000 Yeah, no, no, yeah.

01:47:21.000 But it is, it is crazy that like you have to sit there and think like, okay, so maybe in the next 50 years, it's something we have to consider.

01:47:28.000 I mean, it is.

01:47:29.000 France are going to be. 0.92

01:47:31.000 It's a legitimate.

01:47:32.000 It's something literally.

01:47:33.000 I think it's many, many years from having fingers on the nukes.

01:47:35.000 Oh, they got to kill the internet.

01:47:39.000 How many is many, many years?

01:47:41.000 And honestly, is something that's many, many years away something that we can afford to actually just say, oh, it's not a problem.

01:47:47.000 I don't think that nukes will ever not be a problem.

01:47:49.000 I mean, this is one of the greatest conundrums that has befallen us since the invention of the nuclear weapon, right?

01:47:59.000 They're always going to be a problem.

01:48:00.000 Anybody having them is technically a problem.

01:48:02.000 The only thing that keeps it safe is the fact that many people have them and there's the mutual self-destruction issue.

01:48:11.000 That is the outlier with a nation like Iran having it is that they don't seem to be concerned about being destroyed themselves, which is very dangerous. 0.94

01:48:18.000 Same thing.

01:48:18.000 The same reason that a suicide bomber is much more dangerous than a normal criminal.

01:48:24.000 You can't threaten them with self-harm.

01:48:27.000 It doesn't bother them.

01:48:28.000 Let's see. 0.85

01:48:29.000 Neglectful sausage says Chinese equals collection of ethnic groups. 1.00

01:48:33.000 Hispanic equals collection of ethnic groups. 0.95

01:48:36.000 Hispanics own Latin America. 1.00

01:48:38.000 Chinese own China. 1.00

01:48:40.000 If Hittites are a collection of ethnic groups. 0.91

01:48:42.000 What?

01:48:43.000 It's whites.

01:48:44.000 Oh, it's whites. 0.99

01:48:45.000 Hittites. 0.99

01:48:47.000 It's whites. 0.99

01:48:48.000 Whites.

01:48:49.000 Whites are a collection of ethnic groups. 0.91

01:48:51.000 Why can't they own USA?

01:48:52.000 Well, because the United States wasn't founded that way, or it hasn't developed that way.

01:48:58.000 There are people that make the argument that because it was founded by wasps, that it should only be wasps.

01:49:04.000 But I think that ship has sailed a long, long time ago.

01:49:09.000 So the option was never really there.

01:49:13.000 Yeah, that's, you know, I think that there's a big difference between belief in secure borders and immigration processes that ensure that the people who are here want to be here and want to be part of the experiment, want to be part of the project.

01:49:28.000 And it's a completely different thing than choosing an ethnicity.

01:49:30.000 This reminds me a lot of the, you know, like the Soviet era cards trying to figure out people's ethnicity based on their chin shape and stuff like that.

01:49:41.000 It's not nice.

01:49:43.000 Who wants to live with that much hate in their heart?

01:49:45.000 Yeah.

01:49:45.000 And also look, Chinese as an ethnic collection of ethnic groups isn't true because the Han Chinese run everything.

01:49:51.000 Right, exactly.

01:49:51.000 Have you ever, I mean, have you ever asked them if they're a mono like ethnic group?

01:49:55.000 They're absolutely not.

01:49:56.000 Hispanics hate each other. 1.00

01:49:58.000 You ever ask a Puerto Rican what they think about Mexican people?

01:50:00.000 Have you ever accidentally called somebody from Brazil Latino or let's keep somebody else? 1.00

01:50:04.000 Yeah, you ask a Dominican what they think about like, yeah, like a Mexican person, and you're going to hear like slurs you've never heard in your life.

01:50:10.000 And you might get hit.

01:50:10.000 Yeah.

01:50:12.000 Yeah.

01:50:13.000 And, you know, as far as the United States, like the United, like, I'm probably the most restrictive.

01:50:13.000 So, yeah.

01:50:20.000 You know, I have the most restrictive immigration policies that are that are my favorite. 1.00

01:50:26.000 I think we should shut immigration down for a decade. 1.00

01:50:28.000 No immigrants except for 01 visas and let the people that are here assimilate. 0.99

01:50:34.000 And I think that everybody that's here illegally should be deported, like everybody. 1.00

01:50:40.000 And that's about as extreme as you get on immigration policy.

01:50:46.000 But even I don't think that, oh, we shouldn't allow people in based on race or anything.

01:50:53.000 Like you definitely can disallow people based on ideology.

01:50:58.000 Like I don't think that we should let, I think that it's correct that the United States says we don't let communists in, right?

01:51:03.000 Like if you don't look at things like private property, as property rights as sacred, then you shouldn't be allowed to become an American, period.

01:51:11.000 Like, because that is anti-American.

01:51:14.000 But I don't think we should base it on race.

01:51:16.000 I think it should be based on ideas.

01:51:17.000 Definitely base it on nationality.

01:51:19.000 Like Trump's done that with banning certain countries from sending people here.

01:51:23.000 That's the question is like, I mean, if this is a widely held belief among like 99% of the population, then we're not going to risk it to hopefully get this 1% as well.

01:51:32.000 And it should be hard.

01:51:33.000 I mean, it should be hard.

01:51:34.000 It should be a challenge.

01:51:36.000 This is not a right.

01:51:38.000 This is a blessing.

01:51:39.000 If you want to live here, it's the greatest country in the world.

01:51:42.000 And a lot of people have died and worked their entire lives and generations to make it so.

01:51:48.000 And if you want to come here, that's great.

01:51:50.000 I love that you want to come here, but it needs to be something that you have to work for and earn.

01:51:55.000 And when people understand that, then I want them here.

01:51:57.000 I mean, I think it's the same thing.

01:51:58.000 We want people who love the country to be here.

01:52:00.000 We want families.

01:52:02.000 There's a lot of cultures that are not in this country who like creating families a lot more than Americans currently do.

01:52:10.000 And I'm all about opening that door and making that happen.

01:52:13.000 But, you know, I do agree with you.

01:52:14.000 I'm not sure that I agree to a 10-year ban, but I do agree that we've got a lot of unjust.

01:52:19.000 Just so that way all the people that are here can become Americans.

01:52:22.000 Kind of like a settling period.

01:52:23.000 No, I totally agree.

01:52:25.000 And the reason I say that is because there's been so many people that have come here and Have been encouraged to not assimilate, right?

01:52:32.000 They've been encouraged.

01:52:33.000 They've been allowed to speak the language of whatever country they've come from.

01:52:39.000 The government has gone out of its way to provide services in those languages.

01:52:44.000 I think all that stuff should end.

01:52:45.000 It should all be English. 0.86

01:52:46.000 The argument that I make for that is there are concepts that don't make sense in other languages.

01:52:52.000 There are certain concepts that make sense only in the native language.

01:52:56.000 You have to have a people that all speak the same language so they can all understand the same concepts.

01:53:03.000 So just shut down all immigration for a decade or so.

01:53:07.000 Let everybody assimilate.

01:53:09.000 And then, and again, I don't mind 01 visas. 0.95

01:53:13.000 If you've got a special skill, a special talent or something like that, come on.

01:53:16.000 We can figure out a couple hundred thousand a year.

01:53:20.000 The O1 visa still, you still need to want to be here. 0.95

01:53:22.000 Like it's great that you have that special skill, but that's not just the open door for you.

01:53:26.000 A lot of people treat it that way.

01:53:27.000 100%.

01:53:28.000 And I think that that's a huge problem.

01:53:29.000 That's a lot of the way that the CCP gets people in here.

01:53:33.000 I totally agree with you.

01:53:34.000 It shouldn't be just, oh, the O1 visa, that's your free pass. 0.61

01:53:38.000 I think that it should be very stringent.

01:53:40.000 You should have a special talent.

01:53:41.000 You should actually want to be here.

01:53:43.000 You should actually believe in our fundamental principles that make America what it is.

01:53:47.000 You have to believe in property rights, individual liberty, et cetera, et cetera.

01:53:52.000 I think if you have an opinion that's distasteful about the Second Amendment, you shouldn't be allowed into the United States.

01:54:00.000 These things are fundamental to the country.

01:54:02.000 If you don't think people should have the right to speak, speak their mind, you got to go.

01:54:07.000 We're not going to require you to buy a gun.

01:54:09.000 But if you have a problem with me having one, I think that's an inherent problem.

01:54:12.000 The Bill of Rights is fundamental to who we are as a people.

01:54:14.000 Yeah, it shouldn't.

01:54:15.000 This isn't a list of, that isn't a list of suggestions.

01:54:18.000 These are things that are protected that the government isn't allowed to say that you can't do.

01:54:23.000 So if you want to come here, then you have to at least accept, okay, these are things that every American is going to be able to do.

01:54:30.000 And not only am I okay with that, I wouldn't push against them.

01:54:34.000 Right.

01:54:35.000 You know, so at the least.

01:54:36.000 Yeah.

01:54:37.000 I prefer that you celebrate it in a ticker tape parade.

01:54:40.000 Yes.

01:54:40.000 At the very least, when they're building giant like monkey god statues in Texas, that's a good sign.

01:54:44.000 It's time to shut the tap for a little while.

01:54:46.000 Yeah, right?

01:54:47.000 Like, just pump the brakes.

01:54:50.000 They're even stealing Marxist jobs.

01:54:52.000 Like Zoron, he's an immigrant.

01:54:53.000 He's coming here and he's taken a job from a hardworking Marxist.

01:54:57.000 That's not right.

01:54:58.000 That's another thing. 0.99

01:54:58.000 It's like, we've got, if you're born in America, you automatically have the right to be as garbage. 0.99

01:55:04.000 You have the garbage opinions if you want. 1.00

01:55:06.000 We can't do anything about it. 1.00

01:55:08.000 It's like your family, if your brother sucks, your brother sucks, but he's your brother. 1.00

01:55:12.000 So you have to deal with it. 1.00

01:55:14.000 We don't need to bring in people that have these terrible opinions.

01:55:17.000 Right?

01:55:18.000 You already have enough of those.

01:55:18.000 Exactly.

01:55:19.000 If we're born here, there's nothing we can do about it.

01:55:23.000 Let's see.

01:55:24.000 Wyatt Claytonberg says, Phil, what do you guys think about the Gaza aid drama?

01:55:28.000 It seems like everyone is lying.

01:55:30.000 The photo of the kid in the New York Times as MS, Israel actually helped him, but Israel lies too. 0.87

01:55:36.000 Israel's blocking aid. 1.00

01:55:37.000 They're all full of crap. 1.00

01:55:38.000 I don't know what to believe. 1.00

01:55:40.000 And so it's not my problem.

01:55:42.000 This is exactly why I'm like, let them do whatever they want to do.

01:55:47.000 I don't care.

01:55:48.000 People get upset with me because I don't hate on Israel enough. 1.00

01:55:52.000 Well, I don't care enough to hate on them, right?

01:55:56.000 Like you have to actually have some kind of, you have to feel a certain kind of way if you're going to hate on someone.

01:56:03.000 And I don't care what they do.

01:56:05.000 Let them deal with their problems over there, what, six or seven thousand miles away, 10,000 miles away, whatever it is.

01:56:14.000 Their problems are over there.

01:56:16.000 And I'm not over there.

01:56:18.000 So I don't give a F. That's it.

01:56:22.000 So, but yes, they're both lying.

01:56:25.000 They both engage in propaganda.

01:56:27.000 They're both trying to persuade people.

01:56:30.000 Israel's been doing a terrible job of it. 1.00

01:56:32.000 And that's why there's so many people that are turning against them.

01:56:35.000 Let's see.

01:56:38.000 That's cocoa sauce.

01:56:40.000 Oh, Coco Sauce says, extremists won't forget about decades of U.S. interference, whether we support Israel or not.

01:56:47.000 That ship has sailed.

01:56:48.000 Look, the reason the Marine Corps exists is because of the Barbary pirates and because there were people that said, hey, we're going to just scoop your people up and put them in slavery.

01:57:02.000 Like that has been something that has gone on in the Middle East for literally ever.

01:57:09.000 So it's not like it's new to think that there are problems in the Middle East.

01:57:15.000 That has been, as long as there's been a United States, the United States has had to deal with issues from Middle Eastern countries because of their religion, right?

01:57:26.000 Like that's just the way that it is, whether it's the Somali pirates or the Barbary pirates or dealing with Gaza or whatever.

01:57:36.000 Like that, the idea that we're going to have to deal with this, it goes without saying.

01:57:44.000 It's part of just the existence of apparently that region.

01:57:50.000 So yes, we're going to have to deal with it, but it's not about U.S. interference.

01:57:56.000 It's about the people that are over there and their belief system.

01:57:59.000 Was it Jacob and Esau came out of the womb fighting?

01:58:01.000 Yeah, you know?

01:58:03.000 There's a lot in the, I mean, if you want to get into like biblical stuff, there's just so much in there that is predictive of exactly what's going on today.

01:58:10.000 I mean, look, it goes all the way back to the, at least the stuff between Israel and the Arabs goes all the way back to Isaac and Ishmael.

01:58:18.000 It's probably in Isaiah.

01:58:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:58:19.000 Probably talks about Hillary's emails.

01:58:20.000 I mean, it's crazy how accurate it is.

01:58:23.000 Taylor Lorenz's ex-wife says, who has better plastic surgery, me or Bruce? 0.73

01:58:28.000 I'm not sure who Bruce is.

01:58:30.000 Jenner.

01:58:31.000 Oh, Bruce Jenner.

01:58:32.000 Yes, of course.

01:58:32.000 That's super busy.

01:58:33.000 Missed you this weekend, Phil.

01:58:35.000 CW was a blast.

01:58:36.000 Thank you, all Tim Cass team.

01:58:37.000 Thank you, Romanation, for the legendary after party.

01:58:40.000 I wish that I could have gone.

01:58:41.000 I had a massive, massive fever, and I was very, very under the weather.

01:58:48.000 Yeah, we've all been getting killed by this.

01:58:50.000 There's been like a bunch of people here.

01:58:51.000 A lot's got it now.

01:58:53.000 Serge had it last week.

01:58:54.000 I had it over the weekend.

01:58:56.000 You've managed to dodge the bullet, huh?

01:58:58.000 It's like I never get sick.

01:58:59.000 So if I get sick, it's time to shut the company down.

01:59:02.000 I think you probably dodged it.

01:59:03.000 I mean, it's made its way through so far.

01:59:06.000 It's a little bit different, Phil.

01:59:07.000 I don't know.

01:59:07.000 Maybe Tate was patient zero.

01:59:09.000 Yeah, maybe I haven't.

01:59:09.000 Who knows?

01:59:10.000 I just, were you sick?

01:59:12.000 No.

01:59:12.000 I never get, like, it never happens.

01:59:14.000 Yeah, he's a carrier.

01:59:15.000 It's because I got vaccinated, actually.

01:59:19.000 All right.

01:59:20.000 Raul Cortez says, yeah, I'm indifferent to any of the points brought up in favor of Israel.

01:59:25.000 I'm not bothered by Israel fighting their enemies, but I just don't see the casual relationship between Israel safety and American interests.

01:59:32.000 I mean, look, I agree with you about the about, you know, Israel can fight their enemies however they want to fight them.

01:59:39.000 I'm not particularly concerned.

01:59:41.000 I saw a post this weekend on X about the Sudan and like half a million people died there.

01:59:48.000 And it's like, no one cares because no one can blame the Jews, you know?

01:59:52.000 So it's, there's plenty of places where there are more horrible things going on than what is going on in Gaza.

02:00:00.000 And you don't hear people making us think about it.

02:00:03.000 And I genuinely do think a lot of the reason is because, you know, you can't blame Israel.

02:00:08.000 So just for some numbers, because I did look this up recently, there are 300 million people facing food insecurity in the world.

02:00:14.000 Less than 2 million of those are in the Gaza Strip.

02:00:17.000 So there's a lot of countries, including Haiti, Sudan, Mali, who are facing much more severe crises that nobody seems to care about at all.

02:00:28.000 And mostly because they can't make a political statement about it.

02:00:30.000 Correct.

02:00:32.000 Let's see.

02:00:32.000 Bear that in mind.

02:00:35.000 Dr. Tran says the internet is turning the humans gay. 0.96

02:00:37.000 No, that's just you. 0.97

02:00:39.000 Real figured out, man.

02:00:42.000 Yep.

02:00:42.000 Figured out.

02:00:43.000 Isaac says, why should we worry about Iran having nukes when the nuclear armed countries?

02:00:47.000 Oh, wait, we already read that.

02:00:49.000 It's like a trip down memory lane.

02:00:50.000 It is.

02:00:51.000 It is.

02:00:52.000 Let's see.

02:00:55.000 What do we got here?

02:00:59.000 Matthew.

02:01:00.000 Matthew Vandersteid said, Are you going to post the Culture War Live with Michael Malice?

02:01:04.000 Well, it won't be live because it's already been recorded.

02:01:07.000 So, no.

02:01:08.000 But it's recorded, and they're going to post that.

02:01:11.000 So, yes.

02:01:13.000 And I think that goes up a little bit.

02:01:15.000 Friday at 11.

02:01:16.000 There you go.

02:01:17.000 So when we do the Culture War episodes on Saturday, they will debut the following Friday at the normal culture war time.

02:01:25.000 So if you want to get your tickets for this weekend, you go to, is it still at DC Comedy Loft?

02:01:32.000 Go to TimcastEvents.

02:01:34.000 Okay.

02:01:34.000 TimcastEvents.com.

02:01:36.000 And you can buy your tickets there.

02:01:37.000 Hurry because they are going fast.

02:01:39.000 They usually do.

02:01:40.000 It'll be Alex Stein and who else is there?

02:01:42.000 Have they promoted?

02:01:44.000 Yeah, it's going to be Myron Gaines.

02:01:46.000 He's an interesting guy.

02:01:47.000 And Kat Timf from the Fox News.

02:01:50.000 And then Kyle Attorney, who's also interesting.

02:01:53.000 Is that not so erudite?

02:01:54.000 Yeah.

02:01:55.000 Yeah.

02:01:55.000 So there's some interesting ideologies on stage.

02:01:58.000 I think it'll create quite the atmosphere.

02:02:01.000 All right.

02:02:02.000 Buy your tickets going quick.

02:02:03.000 So smash the like button, share the show with your friends, and let everyone that you know know that you should watch Timcast.

02:02:43.000 Good stuff.

02:02:44.000 I am Phil That Remains on Twix, and the band is all that remains.

02:02:46.000 You can follow us on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, and Deezer.

02:02:55.000 We will do the after show shortly, and we will see you all tomorrow.

02:05:57.000 Thank you.

02:06:01.000 Total flightmare.

02:06:04.000 Apparently, there was a bunch of brown.

02:06:07.000 What are you doing?

02:06:08.000 Okay.

02:06:08.000 Just closing that.

02:06:10.000 Apparently, there was a bunch of brown sewage that exploded from a ceiling in America's busiest airport.

02:06:20.000 It's Hotlanta.

02:06:21.000 I'm going to have a guess.

02:06:23.000 We're going to turn this out.

02:06:24.000 Yep, it's Atlanta.

02:06:25.000 Oh, Atlanta.

02:06:26.000 I thought it was going to be Denver.

02:06:27.000 I liked Atlanta.

02:06:29.000 The airport?

02:06:30.000 Why?

02:06:30.000 Yeah.

02:06:31.000 Are you with massacus? 0.79

02:06:32.000 That is a hot take.

02:06:33.000 Because compared to like Detroit.

02:06:37.000 Oh, wow.

02:06:38.000 I mean, like downtown Bombay is probably great compared to Detroit.

02:06:42.000 Gaza's great compared to Detroit. 0.99

02:06:43.000 You get me?

02:06:44.000 If you're going to compare it to, if you're comparing like big airports, what's better?

02:06:48.000 JFK?

02:06:50.000 Sometimes.

02:06:51.000 Really?

02:06:52.000 Depends on the terminal.

02:06:53.000 Because Terminal, what's a Terminal 5?

02:06:55.000 It's like literally like a FEMA camp.

02:06:57.000 But then they have a few new ones they've dolled up a little bit.

02:07:00.000 It's not too bad.

02:07:01.000 So a big part of the reason why I like Atlanta is because it's one of the few places.

02:07:06.000 And I actually, I like it because I'm so used to going there.

02:07:12.000 And the reason that I'm so used to going there is because I used to travel or direct all my long flights through Atlanta because it's one of the few places where you can smoke.

02:07:23.000 Oh, true.

02:07:24.000 So back in the day when I was a smoker, I'd be like, oh, yeah.

02:07:27.000 And now I've just gone through it so many times.

02:07:29.000 I know it extremely well.

02:07:30.000 Doesn't Atlanta also have like Ludacris Restaurant?

02:07:34.000 I think they have like a waiting restaurant for Ludicrous there.

02:07:34.000 Maybe.

02:07:36.000 That's like my, I always go there.

02:07:38.000 If you're in Atlanta, guys, make sure you go there.

02:07:40.000 It's cultural land bar.

02:07:40.000 That's really important.

02:07:42.000 So, a disgusting video appears to show sewage water leaking from the ceiling of America's busiest airport on Monday.

02:07:48.000 The stomach churning footage taken by Jamal Carlos Jr. shows the murky water exploding through a ceiling panel at Hartsfield, Jackson, Atlanta International Airport.

02:07:58.000 The gushing water stunned travelers who are trying to pass through the terminal.

02:08:02.000 No, dude.

02:08:03.000 Some even seemed to cover in their nose in a desperate attempt to shield themselves from the putrid smell.

02:08:08.000 Carlos told 11 Alive, the incident happened while he was waiting for his delayed flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Dallas, Texas.

02:08:15.000 Can you imagine getting delayed for hours?

02:08:17.000 And then this is what happens. 0.99

02:08:18.000 I mean, look, not only is it delayed, but it's literally pouring shit on your head. 0.99

02:08:26.000 Oh, you're delayed? 0.99

02:08:27.000 That's the word.

02:08:28.000 You're delayed here. 1.00

02:08:30.000 Have shit on your head. 1.00

02:08:33.000 It kind of gives you perspective, though. 1.00

02:08:34.000 Like, it makes you appreciate every delay where you don't get slimed by a human feces.

02:08:41.000 This is what Nick.

02:08:42.000 This is what.

02:08:42.000 You really want to improve your future travel.

02:08:45.000 This is what the kids' choice awards in India is like.

02:08:52.000 Oh, my God, Deco.

02:08:57.000 Oh, my God.

02:08:59.000 That was a great point.

02:09:00.000 Brutal.

02:09:04.000 I love it.

02:09:06.000 No, we love India.

02:09:07.000 This is a pro-India podcast.

02:09:09.000 We love India.

02:09:10.000 We love H-1Bs. 1.00

02:09:11.000 Surge is, I think, an H-1B.

02:09:13.000 We love them.

02:09:13.000 We don't love H-1B.

02:09:15.000 Check this out here on the bottom here.

02:09:17.000 It says there's no impact to overall air cooperation.

02:09:21.000 What?

02:09:22.000 Great.

02:09:22.000 This is Atlanta.

02:09:23.000 Like, this is Atlanta.

02:09:24.000 Greatness. 0.98

02:09:25.000 We're going to have a bomb go off on the plane. 0.54

02:09:27.000 It's going off the runway.

02:09:28.000 I mean, I'm glad that you're not actually in the airport when you said that.

02:09:32.000 Yeah, well, it's the Rumble Show.

02:09:33.000 You can say that, right?

02:09:34.000 It's like that guy Carlos here also says it's crazy.

02:09:36.000 So they moved our gate.

02:09:38.000 We were just so close to it.

02:09:39.000 Smooth a little further, but you can still smell it two or three gates down.

02:09:43.000 We're going to smell that for like a year if they don't clean that up.

02:09:45.000 That's kind of a profound statement.

02:09:47.000 Yeah.

02:09:48.000 Still smell it.

02:09:49.000 Oh, God.

02:09:50.000 It's just, it's, it just sounds like punishment, though.

02:09:53.000 Oh, that's brutal, dude.

02:09:54.000 Yeah, that's, that's, that's.

02:09:56.000 I worked in an old hotel in Chicago years and years ago, and we had a sewage explosion problem, and I've still had PTSD from it.

02:10:03.000 I mean, it's upsetting to your core.

02:10:06.000 Like, it's, yeah.

02:10:08.000 It's not a thing you forget over a week.

02:10:09.000 No, I lived in the basement house in Salt Lake City.

02:10:13.000 The house was built in like 1903, and I lived there in like 2013, beginning of it.

02:10:16.000 And then the whole, like, there's like the sewers that go out to the street, like backed up.

02:10:21.000 They had like closed it back in the 70s because you know, boomers like to do smart stuff. 1.00

02:10:24.000 So just close it up and just sealed it and said, oh, nothing will happen.

02:10:27.000 Eventually, it all backed up.

02:10:28.000 And then I woke up at like three in the morning.

02:10:30.000 This happened two times, by the way.

02:10:32.000 I woke up at three in the morning and the whole floor, the whole bottom of my, my like carpet was wet, obviously with like black water and stuff like that.

02:10:40.000 So yeah, it's it's like the worst.

02:10:43.000 It's probably the most disgusting thing you can ever be around just like that.

02:10:47.000 I have no horror stories like that.

02:10:49.000 I have a horrible one.

02:10:50.000 I have a horrible one.

02:10:52.000 This is not, this is like a year ago.

02:10:53.000 I used to work on boats long enough ago.

02:10:56.000 Yeah, because I've done like a lot of jobs in a very short amount of time, which is probably a red flag for being working here.

02:11:03.000 Anyway, I worked on boats.

02:11:04.000 I worked on these yachts in New York City.

02:11:07.000 And you would have to climb onto the side of the boat to like when the boat's at port, you connect the sewage, you connect the water.

02:11:14.000 So someone has to climb along the side of the boat to disconnect the sewage, disconnect the water.

02:11:18.000 That would be me because I was a deckhand.

02:11:19.000 I was the youngest person.

02:11:20.000 Well, the first time I did it, I didn't realize you had to shut the valve off from the port side and from the boat side.

02:11:26.000 So I only shut it off like leaving from the port side.

02:11:29.000 So I was like, yeah, so it's shut.

02:11:32.000 I pull it off and it sprang poop onto me and I'm held onto the side of the boat because if I let go, I'm going to go in the water.

02:11:39.000 And I'm just getting hit in the chest with like a cube.

02:11:43.000 And I haven't pooped to this day.

02:11:46.000 Sounds like a CAA black site.

02:11:48.000 Oh my gosh.

02:11:49.000 Yeah.

02:11:50.000 This is what Obama was talking about when he banned towards it.

02:11:52.000 Yeah.

02:11:53.000 Sounds like you were getting interrogated.

02:11:54.000 It's like someone stomped on a colossum bag next to me.

02:11:58.000 Horrible.

02:11:59.000 So I'm anti-poop after that day.

02:12:03.000 I used to be mixed on it.

02:12:04.000 You know?

02:12:04.000 Yeah.

02:12:06.000 I'm a moderate, reasonable guy.

02:12:08.000 I used to be neutral on it.

02:12:09.000 I'm anti.

02:12:11.000 I think that makes sense.

02:12:12.000 So, all right, let's go to collars.

02:12:14.000 Yeah.

02:12:14.000 I'm going to negate that really fast here.

02:12:17.000 Stop talking about this poop stuff.

02:12:19.000 Yeah, guys.
