Bill and Hillary Clinton finally have to testify when it comes to the Epstein probe, the Minnesota blockades, the Grammys, and more. We also talk about how much sleep you should be getting and how important it is to drink lots of water.
00:00:45.000Today, it looks like Bill and Hillary Clinton are finally going to have to testify when it comes to the Epstein probe.
00:00:50.000They were trying to dodge it the whole time, but they've been threatened with contempt and they're finally going to comply.
00:00:56.000We're also going to be talking about the Minnesota blockades.
00:00:59.000Once again, Antifa is doing its trick where it tries to stop everyone moving up and down the block, taking everybody's license plates, making sure that they control the streets.
00:01:09.000We'll also be talking about the leftists and the way that they are absolutely embarrassing themselves over Don Lemon, the Grammys, and deportations.
00:01:17.000But before we get to all that today, guys, let's hear from our sponsor.
00:01:23.000All right, my friends, I'm sure you've heard last week, TransGene confirmed a data breach that affects over 4 million people.
00:01:29.000It's a prime example of why it's important for people to have products like Web Root Total Protection, which includes identity protection for up to 10 identities, up to a million dollars in fraud expense reimbursement, 24/7 U.S.-based customer support plus Elder Fraud Hotline, identity and dark web monitoring plus, you'll get antivirus VPN and cloud backup so you're protected holistically from all threats.
00:01:52.000Webroot total protection is an all-in-one, is all-in-one device, privacy and identity protection that can keep you safe in the event that your personal data is compromised.
00:02:01.000If your identity is stolen, it can take between 100 and 200 hours to resolve it on your own, but not if you have Web Root Total Protection.
00:02:08.000With Web Root Total Protection, you have insurance for your digital life and personal data.
00:02:12.000Let Web Root Total Protection give you your peace of mind back in the wake of these continued data breaches and evolving digital threats.
00:02:18.000You'll get 50% off Web Root Total Protection or Web Root Essentials when you go to webroot.com/slash pool.
00:07:08.000But still, I was like, okay, well, this seems cut and dry, you know.
00:07:11.000Well, Clinton got away with it, I think, largely because the religious right or the Republicans at the time made the mistake of making it about the blowjob and not about the procedure.
00:07:21.000Like, they made it a moral majority argument, and that actually, I think, fell down as opposed to a legal procedure argument of, hey, committed perjury needs to go to jail.
00:07:30.000That was the frustrating thing for me is that people were constantly saying, oh, you know, of course he got a blowjob.
00:07:35.000Oh, you know, powerful guys and Kennedy and blah, blah, blah.
00:07:38.000And I was like, I was like, why are people even talking about that?
00:08:43.000The question is, how bad can you make him look?
00:08:45.000How much can you drag him through that?
00:08:47.000How many places can you lead him where he might further indict himself or create some kind of problem?
00:08:53.000I don't think there's probably going to be a lot of there there.
00:08:55.000I think most of the revelations are already in the Epstein files, but putting him through that, making him go through that process is itself a punishment.
00:09:04.000We learned this from the Trump administration, right?
00:09:07.000It's not always what you're going to get.
00:09:08.000Once you put people under oath and you put them up in front of Congress, they might come out and say things that are going to just bury them politically.
00:09:15.000And that's ultimately what a lot of people are looking for.
00:09:18.000Maybe not the most, I guess, upstanding way to conduct yourself, but it is ultimately the way American politics works.
00:09:24.000This is going to be bread and circuses at the end of it.
00:09:28.000It's not going to come of it, but it is the bread and circuses we're asking for.
00:09:31.000We've been asking for high-profile people to be brought into court and have to testify for the things they may or may not have done.
00:09:36.000So I think at the end of it, I think people will look at this and say, we are doing something.
00:09:40.000And I think that's good going into the midterms.
00:09:42.000It's a great way to call it a bread and circus because as I'm scrolling, like with the economy, what's happened with silver went up four times and then got 30% dropped.
00:09:51.000All these people, they took people for a run.
00:09:55.000Like this is the bread and circus is the Clinton, is the Epstein stuff.
00:09:59.000That's what they want people to focus on and fight about when in the background they're like changing our economy into a crypto control state, it feels like behind us.
00:10:08.000It's another conversation completely, but I do sense that.
00:10:12.000There's some truth where like the entire Epstein thing, it hit a point, kind of like Pizzagate, where like when it first happened, you're kind of following it and you're like, yeah, yeah, that actually does make there might be something here.
00:10:21.000And then there was, I remember it just hit a certain point where it was like just all the insane people flooded in and then it just became like completely untouchable.
00:10:28.000This is kind of what's happening with the Epstein stuff now is it's gotten to the point where it's gotten so mainstream, it's turned into something that it never was, where now it's starting to become a toxic thing.
00:10:37.000And it's going to make it more difficult to actually get any justice out of this because it's just been flooded with the retard right, for lack of better word.
00:10:44.000And in addition, it's just, people are expecting different things as a result of like this entire investigation.
00:10:50.000Well, it's just going to clog everything up.
00:10:51.000And there's tons of confirmation bias, right?
00:10:54.000Whether or not there's anything that's actually actionable in there, people see a name, they're like, see, this name's in the Epstein file.
00:11:00.000So of course that means that they were doing this thing.
00:11:03.000And it's just turned into just a slop vest of people pointing fingers.
00:11:07.000Of course, there are things that people should be prosecuted for.
00:11:10.000I'm not making the argument that there aren't, but whether or not people have broken the law is irrelevant to most of the people that want to use this as a club on X to be like, this person was in the Epstein files.
00:12:18.000Like, obviously, these files were bad.
00:12:20.000Our elites did not want us to have access to them.
00:12:22.000They were embarrassed about what went on there and they didn't want those out.
00:12:25.000But it was really what you could project onto this, what I think is built a lot of hype and interest into it.
00:12:31.000Once it's out there in the open, once we actually have the files, that's actually less exciting because you can no longer just speculate about what's being hidden and what forces are working against you and who's hiding documents.
00:12:43.000Now you have to actually sift through everything.
00:13:20.000He's breaking through the institutional barriers that exist in Washington.
00:13:24.000They wanted to see him make the elites pay.
00:13:27.000And the fact that he did not do that initially with the Epstein files, I think, was a lot of what people felt betrayal about.
00:13:34.000So getting this done, getting elites in front of cameras, in front of questions, I think that's what matters to people more than the actual content.
00:13:42.000And I'm not saying the content doesn't matter, but I think that's ultimately what's going to be cathartic for people through this process.
00:14:02.000And I think a lot of people were hesitant to vote for him again because they saw the first administration not actually carry the water and carry the weight of the things that they said they were going to do.
00:14:12.000I think this administration has the ability and the time to get it done.
00:14:16.000We're less that he airway from midterms.
00:14:17.000And I've always held the belief that the reason we haven't seen sweeping arrests yet is because, one, when you go to start arresting people, it's all hell is going to break loose.
00:14:26.000And to organize that without leaks, because people will flee the country.
00:14:32.000And for optics' sake, if you arrest someone at a high-profile level, you have to find juries that will indict judges that will take the case, not throw them out.
00:15:13.000Is there a wider conspiracy we need to understand, a wider network?
00:15:17.000I think that's the kind of stuff that you're going to be driving at with the Clintons.
00:15:20.000I don't think they're actually going to be looking to pursue a particular criminal case against them or try to drive deeper into getting these guys in jail.
00:15:29.000Those optics aren't great for you at this point.
00:15:32.000There was a time when putting Hillary Clinton in the jail was dynamic.
00:15:35.000Like you're saying, the locker up chance mattered.
00:15:38.000I think at this point, people have kind of moved on.
00:15:40.000And you can't, you know, this is the upside and the downside of Biden stepping in there.
00:15:44.000Biden is just simply not as nefarious a creature as Hillary Clinton, right?
00:15:49.000Like he's just too, like I'm sure he's a bad person, but he's just too checked out.
00:15:55.000He's completely unable to function mentally.
00:15:58.000You can only really feel like you can hold him accountable for his actions for so long because of how senile he is.
00:16:05.000And so people aren't there chanting, put Joe in jail.
00:16:07.000It's like, you know, put Joe in the nursing home, right?
00:16:11.000And so he's not the person that their ire is really directed at.
00:16:14.000You don't have that easy target to put away.
00:16:16.000I mean, someone like Anthony Fauci would be far more relevant at this point.
00:16:20.000So I just don't think the Clintons create that target that satiates the desire for people to have a nefarious character put behind bars, but they could lead us towards someone that is worthy of that.
00:16:32.000I do think, yeah, I think this is going to turn into, you're saying, Brett and Circus, maybe adding just a circus.
00:16:38.000Because I mean, one thing you have to consider is, I mean, the House Judiciary Committee on the Republican side, it's Jim Jordan's on there.
00:17:03.000I'm not terribly optimistic about this whatsoever.
00:17:06.000I don't think we're going to get the slam dunk that we think we're going to get.
00:17:08.000No, but I mean, even if they put the Clintons, even if they put the Clintons in jail, that's not going to move the needle for actual policy in the United States.
00:17:17.000It's not going to change, you know, the nature of government because they're out of the, you know, they're out of government.
00:17:24.000They're just, you know, old people that have been put out the pasture.
00:17:27.000So I'd be perfectly fine with them going to jail because I'm sure that, you know, Clinton and they both have broke plenty of laws, but it wouldn't change the forecast for the midterms.
00:17:40.000It wouldn't change the forecast for the next presidential election.
00:17:44.000And so at the end of the day, it doesn't change the circumstances for the right in the United States.
00:17:49.000And the important thing is the right winning because that's how we save the country from what the left is doing.
00:17:56.000I'd be much happier to see Tim Walz and Ilan Omar in prison.
00:18:12.000You start tearing open the books and you show where these people are actually robbing our country and bringing in these migrants who are ruining our culture.
00:18:40.000I think you're both correct because ultimately we're in this scenario where we only have so much political capital.
00:18:45.000You have to choose your targets carefully.
00:18:47.000And ultimately, again, I think people do care about the Epstein files.
00:18:50.000But as you say, moving into midterms, looking at the situation in the country would much rather see Democratic criminals currently being held accountable rather than trying to reach back 8, 12, 15 years to try to figure out and re-litigate how these people conducted themselves.
00:19:06.000Even though the justice is critical, it really is about optics.
00:19:10.000It really is about expending political capital.
00:19:12.000And when you're in that scenario, you have to have a laser focus.
00:19:15.000And again, as you guys were saying, someone like Tim Walz going to jail would just be far more important, far more critical.
00:19:21.000And it would actually show that the Trump administration isn't just looking back, hoping to pull some skeletons out of closets, but is actively looking at Democrats today as political enemies who are hurting the country and is willing to step in and stop them and hold them accountable.
00:19:35.000Yeah, you settle scores after you win, but it's like you've got to be in a position where you can actually settle scores.
00:20:16.000And to your point, like the, I've said this before, like they're not going to just go after people that are big names.
00:20:22.000They're not going to just go after Donald Trump.
00:20:23.000They're not going to just go after, you know, people that are, you know, influential on the right because those people are the people that normal people expect to get wrapped up.
00:20:33.000When the guy down the street that did a little bit of canvassing for the Republicans goes to jail, then everybody that knows him is like, oh, I could be on the chopping block.
00:20:42.000And that cools people's desire to be politically active in the future.
00:20:50.000But they'll also go after the small fish because if they get enough small fish and they're easier to get too, if you get some dude that's just in the GOP or whatever, that's like, you know, at a state level or even a town level, if those people go to jail, it doesn't cost them a lot of money.
00:21:04.000They don't have a lot of money to defend themselves the way that, you know, bigger names do.
00:21:09.000If you go after people that are, you know, average Joes, they're easier to put in jail and it does a whole lot more to cool off people's interest in being politically active.
00:21:17.000You have more of your average people that are just like, I want to keep my head down.
00:21:22.000I don't want them to, you know, I don't want the eye of Sauron to be put on me.
00:21:25.000You know, so it's really important that we win in November and it's really important that we win in 2028 because it's not just the big names.
00:21:34.000It's not just the people that you see on podcasts.
00:21:36.000It's going to be people that you know, just like Adam said, you know, 1,600 people that were just at the Capitol and they didn't do anything particularly bad.
00:21:49.000And the reason they did that was to intimidate the right.
00:21:52.000They're going to go even harder should the left win again.
00:21:55.000They freaking intimidated everybody, like people on the left who are like, I better bow down to my servant master even harder because I see they're serious now.
00:22:30.000Knowing what you know now, having been arrested for being at the Capitol, served three months in prison, basically, literally.
00:22:35.000And I assume that had some sort of radicalization effect on your brain.
00:22:39.000Like I'm never like you've changed, you're running for office now.
00:22:41.000Like you've changed, you're like outspoken now on the on the internet, on TV.
00:22:45.000But like knowing what you know about innocent people getting targeted or people that did very little and getting big sentences, how would you go forward against, like you said, the communist attempted communist revolution?
00:22:55.000Like how would you deal with that in an attempt to not radicalize those people the way that some of these people of J6 were?
00:23:01.000Well, I don't think some of these people are people are salvageable or savable.
00:23:06.000I think that these, look, we're at war, whether you want to admit it, whether you want to accept it.
00:23:22.000I think it was Ras Musin, where they asked people during COVID, you know, what should we do with people who are refusing to take the vaccine?
00:23:28.000I think it was 29% of them said that my children should be removed from my custody for not vaccinating them.
00:23:34.000We're talking about almost 30% of our neighbors who said, I want to take their children from them.
00:23:43.000So we need to wake up and realize who these people are.
00:23:45.000Will stop at nothing to crush and kill us.
00:23:48.000Adam, I feel like I've said this a thousand times, but I just get more and more manic every time I say it because it seems like people are not listening.
00:23:56.000How am I still having to explain to people at this point that that's where we are?
00:24:01.000Every time it's oh, Trump might take some kind of action, we might use some kind of power.
00:24:05.000It's well, what if the Democrats get back in charge?
00:24:07.000Like, how are we still doing that argument?
00:24:18.000The minute they are back in power, they will arrest everybody.
00:24:22.000And they don't have your morals, they don't have your scruples, they don't have your principles.
00:24:25.000None of this will stop them because they also don't have activist judges sitting there waiting to sabotage them.
00:24:30.000They will have the full power of the government, they will run through you entirely.
00:24:33.000It's ridiculous to me that we still have to make this argument.
00:24:36.000I don't understand how people don't grasp it.
00:24:38.000On Friday, we talked to we had Cam Higbee on, and Lisa was here, and we were talking about Don Lemon being arrested.
00:24:44.000And they both were kind of squishy on it because they're like, Well, you know, I don't want them to arrest, you know, me or you know, Cam was saying that.
00:24:52.000It's like, guys, like you're not going to be able to say, Oh, we don't want to set the precedent because the precedent has already been set.
00:25:00.000Like, the left will do this, they've already done this.
00:25:03.000When they get back into power, they're going to do it again.
00:25:06.000So, I understand that you know, you care about the First Amendment and you have, you know, you care about the freedom of press and you have principles and stuff.
00:28:04.000Is we have had to hear about how unprofessional ICE is, how it's a bunch of thugs, and the Trump administration is just turning them loose, and how important it is that we have accountability for law enforcement.
00:28:14.000But here we see that actually, nope, just completely unaccountable, untrained, you know, guys with no authority are getting out there and doing this.
00:28:21.000Of course, it's going to create an incident.
00:28:23.000We all remember the last autonomous zone, right?
00:28:49.000I think they dismantled it because they ran out of food because in a communist society, someone has to work.
00:28:54.000Well, they kept trying to plant it on top of the plastic bags.
00:28:56.000You remember them like just dumping piles of bags of joy from Home Depot and then being like, yeah, yeah, I'll just grow some crops here.
00:29:04.000Yeah, literally, yeah, they literally sat cardboard out and poured soil and like seeds from Home Depot.
00:29:08.000Yeah, and then like three days went by and they're like, guys, this is, we didn't pick this out.
00:29:12.000Some dude on LSD was like dancing on it the day after he was, it was yeah, there was like a like a local SoundCloud rapper that became like a warlord.
00:29:33.000I kind of like the idea of maybe every town does have like a small chop just in the middle.
00:29:37.000So it's like if you really are like a communist or something, you know, you can kind of just hang out there and then the warlord will sort things out after a while.
00:29:44.000It's kind of a beautiful thing when you really think about it.
00:29:58.000Well, it also looks like the Minnesota activists have put up a flag here.
00:30:04.000They're trying to recreate the famous U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima scene.
00:30:09.000And of course, we all know that the Minnesota flag has a striking resemblance to the Somali flag because the Somalis conquered Minnesota and made them change their flag.
00:30:17.000So what we're seeing here is basically a declaration that they have conquered Minnesota, that the leftists now not only own the streets, but they own the entire state.
00:30:25.000You know, a lot of people will say, oh, it's just a flag.
00:30:29.000It's just, you know, a recreation, a ritual.
00:30:31.000But I hope by now we understand that flags matter, that cloth matters, that ritual actually matters more than rhetoric.
00:30:38.000And when we allow something like this to happen, when we allow people to take these actions, it's making a clear declaration that we are giving up sovereignty, that we are handing control up to foreign powers.
00:30:48.000And this simply should not be allowed in the United States.
00:30:51.000It's amazing that we continue to really allow any of this.
00:30:55.000I know it's not Pride Month, but wait, what did you say?
00:31:00.000I think about that, like wearing shirts with words on them.
00:31:03.000I'm like, dude, I don't even like, what does this read?
00:31:06.000What am I, like, what am I promoting right now?
00:31:09.000That's a good way to put it, that it's more powerful than rhetoric, like imagery, promoting imagery, especially with the internet and the ability to splash that visual all over the place.
00:31:21.000You know, like you see these, but you see, like, was it Ronaldo came up and there was like cokes on the, on the, on the table, and he took them off because he's like, oh, I'll kill you.
00:31:29.000I'm not getting paid to advertise this.
00:32:21.000It was just to mock it like that is really desensitized.
00:32:25.000Well, and the UK just got done with this big showdown over flags.
00:32:28.000I don't know if you guys were paying attention, but they were battling over whether or not the St. George's Cross or the Union Jack should be displayed.
00:32:34.000And it was being swapped out with Pakistani flags and everything.
00:32:38.000And, you know, again, people will say, oh, this is tiny stuff.
00:32:41.000It's just some guy taking down a flag or raising it somewhere.
00:32:44.000No, again, this is a symbol of conquest, especially in the UK context where these people are literally raping the daughters of the English.
00:36:36.000If you don't belong here, we're going to get rid of you.
00:36:39.000I mean, they're literally doing the thing that we're trying to do.
00:36:41.000Only we're actually following the law.
00:36:44.000Well, and it blew up their whole narrative recently because didn't it just get leaked that both of the agents that were involved in the Paretti shooting were Hispanic?
00:37:50.000There's something to first and second generation migrants that come here legally.
00:37:53.000They actually believe the American dream.
00:37:55.000They were given something they came here to actually have, and they worked hard for it, and they want to keep it.
00:37:59.000So when they see everyone coming in, pouring it illegally and taking benefits, taking things, they're working hard to provide assistance for the family.
00:38:05.000I mean, they have every right to be pissed off, and they should be.
00:38:08.000Every native Floridian knows that the most racist anti-immigrant people in Florida are first generation and second generation Hispanic immigrants.
00:38:26.000They are aggressive, aggressively anti-immigrant.
00:38:29.000To your earlier point, though, like, this is all like the laws that ICE are enforcing are all passed in a bipartisan way.
00:38:36.000They were passed two decades ago or whatever, Democrats and Republicans.
00:38:41.000Donald Trump was elected with a majority in the Electoral College and a popular majority.
00:38:47.000The popularity of deporting illegals is something like 85%, or at least criminals is like 90% or 85%, and deporting all illegal immigrants is like 60%.
00:38:59.000So these people are literally doing everything they can to go against the will of the people and against the law.
00:39:05.000And then because of the media helping to characterize this as Donald Trump as being a fascist and stuff, there are people that are getting squishy.
00:39:13.000But if you look at this just on the facts, like this is an extremely popular thing, getting rid of illegal aliens.
00:39:19.000This is what Donald Trump was elected for, and we need to see more of it.
00:39:22.000Well, it's popular with the people, but of course, Hollywood absolutely hates it.
00:39:26.000And as you might imagine, there was yet another very irrelevant awards ceremony.
00:39:31.000I'm sure both people who watched it really enjoyed it.
00:39:37.000So, this obscure Grammys, there's a bunch of guys.
00:39:41.000I'm old and I like metal music, so I don't know any of the people we're talking about here.
00:39:46.000There's a Billy Eyelash, some kind of bunny involved.
00:39:51.000I think we'll eventually get to a very short man giving a speech.
00:39:54.000But ultimately, it looks like a lot of these people who showed up to the awards ceremony were trying to virtue signal.
00:40:01.000Oh, Donald Trump, I can't believe ultimately that he was out there going after illegal aliens.
00:40:07.000We see Bad Bunny here saying, Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say Ice Out, Bad Bunny said while accepting a Grammy Award for Best Musical Urbana album.
00:41:21.000Now, bare riot of candles, dark fury of flowers, pure howling of hymns.
00:41:29.000If for us she arose somewhere in the pitch deep of our grief, crouches our power, the howl where we begin straining upon the edge of the crooked crater of the worst of what we've been.
00:41:44.000Change is only possible and all the greater when the labor and bitter anger of our neighbors is moved by the love and better angels of our nature.
00:41:56.000What they call death and void, we know his breath and voice.
00:42:03.000In the end, gorgeously endures our enormity.
00:42:08.000You could believe departed to be the dawn when the blank night has so long stood.
00:42:17.000But our bright led angels will never be fully gone when they forever are so fiercely good.
00:45:12.000You know, I wrote a book called The Total State, and one of the big topics in that book is ultimately why we need to see politics just penetrate every cultural sphere.
00:45:21.000A lot of people are asking, you know, the basic question: you know, why do I need politics in my video games?
00:45:30.000You know, there used to be, there was always some injection.
00:45:33.000There was always one guy firing off his opinion and acceptance speech.
00:45:36.000But for the most part, they at least put on the air of, okay, no, this is an event about the music, about the topic we're discussing.
00:45:43.000But once you get to this kind of late stage of your culture where everything is a political battle, where the rift is just so large and the state needs more and more control over the population, what they're thinking, the only thing you can really do is just have that total state, have the politics penetrate into.
00:46:02.000And I'm having a hard time with the people who want an audio recording of it.
00:46:38.000So what you were saying before the show locked up, or what I was saying is I agree with you about inserting politics into culture and all these things because you have to.
00:46:47.000You know, the world is politicizing, but to do it subtly, because some artists are so hit you over the head with it.
00:46:52.000It's like, if I don't wear my MAGA hat, you're not going to get it.
00:46:54.000And it's like, well, you know, you can be subtle.
00:46:57.000I don't want people on the left to understand that I'm propagandizing them.
00:47:01.000I don't want people on the right to know that I'm propagandizing them.
00:47:03.000So one of the things that allows art to be subtle is a shared cultural tapestry, right?
00:47:08.000And one of the problems, the reason that we're seeing everything become so obvious is we're losing that shared fabric that allows us to provide nuance.
00:47:16.000They have to make sure that they kind of state outright what they mean.
00:47:20.000Because maybe you're a red stater and you don't know all the blue code, or maybe you're a blue stater and you don't know all the red code.
00:47:25.000Now, the conservatives have been bad at art for a while, but the fact that the left is getting like obviously very bad at it very quickly is actually a win for us overall because it means that the implicit left coding that allowed them to kind of suddenly massage their messages into our culture no longer works.
00:47:54.000Well, I mean, I've got some experience in this writing stuff that's like subtly political.
00:48:00.000And if you write things that are subtle, people are going to understand them in their own way.
00:48:07.000I've gotten a lot of people that they tweet at me or they'll post and they're mad when they find out that the songs that they thought meant something because it was subtle, they thought that it meant one thing, come to find out that I don't hold those beliefs or I didn't hold those beliefs and they are upset.
00:48:26.000It is better when you can be subtle, but if you want to send a message, you do have to be fairly clear.
00:48:34.000And if you're not, you know, for a lot of people, if you're not specifically overtly saying something, they're going to internalize it as something that they relate to.
00:48:44.000And honestly, that's kind of what you want.
00:48:46.000Listen, when you write a song, you want people to listen to the song and you want them to think of it as their own, right?
00:48:54.000When you listen to music that you love, you think about like, where did you hear the song first?
00:48:59.000Like, what were the circumstances in your life?
00:49:01.000There are songs that I love, and every time I hear them, you know, when I haven't heard it for a long time, I remember what it smelled like when I was listening to that song for the first time a lot.
00:49:10.000And so those kind of memories are something that's attached to music, and you don't want to take that away from people.
00:49:15.000But at the same time, if people find out or when people realize that you weren't saying what they thought you were saying, they get very upset and they feel like you've taken something from them, even though it was never something that was offered to them in the first place.
00:49:28.000I think it comes down to is this, the connotation of words, right?
00:49:30.000I mean, progressives will always progress their ideology, right?
00:50:04.000And eventually we no longer have common ground because as they progress, they get further and further away from that common ground, that, you know, that soft working of words of, wouldn't it be cool if XYZ?
00:50:14.000Well, and this is the nature of the conservative liberal dynamic, right?
00:50:17.000Conservatives or the right really creates in that moment of founding the civilization.
00:50:24.000The right are the people who are going to cut civilization out of the wilderness.
00:50:29.000They're going to fight back the barbarians.
00:50:31.000They're the people who are going to establish the norms and the rules, the strong culture, the strong religion, the strong understanding.
00:50:37.000They are the ones that initially build.
00:50:39.000And then the left are the ones that start iterating.
00:50:42.000They start looking for different ways to combine.
00:50:44.000They look for different processes that they can manipulate.
00:50:47.000In some ways, this is ultimately positive.
00:50:49.000You need your institutions to grow and change over time, be able to overcome new problems.
00:50:55.000But they do that by unspooling the nature of the society that exists in the first place.
00:51:03.000It is breaking down order constantly, and that's where it generates its energy.
00:51:08.000So whenever it runs out of things to deconstruct, to destroy, to break apart, that's when it peters out.
00:51:14.000And that's when the right tends to rush back in and reconstitute that order.
00:51:18.000But that is the cycle of not just civilization, but even things like art and culture.
00:51:22.000So like the right now, as far as I can tell, the internet is allowing cultures around the world to obliterate the American conservative nature, the nature, conservative nature of the United States, because it's just getting hit from every angle by so many things and then immigration.
00:51:36.000And so there's like a rapid iteration redux, it feels like, going on right now.
00:51:42.000So funny enough, Karl Marx was actually used to say that he was pro-free trade.
00:51:48.000And the joke of why he was pro-free trade is he thought it brought down cultural barriers faster.
00:51:54.000And the faster you dissolved cultures and traditions, the faster you could get rid of nations and create the communist utopia, the global order.
00:52:02.000And in a way, what we're seeing with the internet is the vast increased democratization and velocity of exchanges of information in the way that we saw with capital previously.
00:52:13.000And so all these things that used to give you shared culture are now like immediately dissolved by like this constant churn of information and everything.
00:52:22.000And so I think what you're going to continue to see is like this destruction of existing cultures.
00:52:27.000And it's the people who are ultimately able to control that process.
00:52:31.000And again, I think we had this conversation last time we were on here, but this is why China and others are working so hard and so quickly trying to control internet and information as radically as possible.
00:52:41.000Because if they don't, ultimately they will dissolve too.
00:52:44.000Even these communist authoritarian structures will break down under the constant wave and increase the velocity of information.
00:52:52.000So I think we've gotten pretty far away from the Grammys.
00:52:56.000But the point being is like, I think that's why ultimately we're seeing the internet interact with kind of national identities and why the left is continue to break down who they think we are.
00:53:07.000But in the same instance, they're breaking their own ideas and culture down just as quickly.
00:53:11.000And the grand irony before we go to the next story that the Grammys was the kind of the epicenter of cultural cohesion for a long time.
00:53:47.000But I will say, it's likely that the only reason that that particular heavy metal band was performing is because they have a female singer.
00:54:00.000Well, we also want to talk a little bit about some more happenings in Minneapolis.
00:54:05.000The left, of course, was talking for years and years about the need for body cams.
00:54:09.000And all of a sudden, after finally getting what they wanted most, they've recognized that that's a huge mistake coming from CBS News.
00:54:16.000All federal immigration agents in Minneapolis will begin by wearing body cameras.
00:54:21.000Secretary of Homeland Security, Christine Noam, said on Monday, as the department faces intense scrutiny over a pair of fatal shootings by federal agents in the Twin Cities, effective immediately, we are deploying body cams to every officer in the field in Minneapolis.
00:54:36.000Noam said on X, writing that she had discussed the move with the heads of immigration, customs, enforcement, and border protection.
00:54:44.000So obviously, you know, we've been making this joke for a long time, but the call for body cameras has been the largest cell phone the left has ever had in history.
00:54:58.000And I'm glad that ultimately we do have footage for when the police are stepping out of line.
00:55:03.000But the majority of what we're seeing is actually the police are largely justified.
00:55:07.000The body cams are vindicating most of the actions.
00:55:09.000And so the fact that the left has seen what a disaster this is and now they're trying to actively fight against those body cams really is one of the just most beautiful things you've seen along the way.
00:55:18.000Worth noting the fact that there are so many leftists that are saying, no, these are actually bad and they're contributing to stereotypes and we should stop this now.
00:55:28.000Oh, it's an invasion of privacy because they're going to record these guys when they shouldn't even be interacting with them in the first place.
00:55:34.000It's just like, this is the best thing that ever happened to law enforcement was the body cameras because it just showed that they were justified every single time in paraphrasing what he said.
00:56:18.000I do think that this is going to be a good thing overall because, like, you said, you know, when it does show that the officers or agents have stepped out of line, you know, we can do something about it because you do want police to behave in appropriate ways.
00:56:33.000But I think that in the long run, it's going to show that the police largely behave in appropriate ways.
00:56:38.000And the people that are, you know, people that are being arrested are the problem.
00:56:42.000Look, the people that are going to say that the police are the problem are going to say that the police are the problem no matter what.
00:57:45.000So even if you martyr yourself, like even if you literally die for the cause as a white person, you are still such scum to these people that they're like, no, we're not going to say, we're not going to honor you.
00:57:57.000All white martyrs will be named Robert Polson.
00:58:00.000There was literally that guy, the guy that lit himself on fire for Palestine and in uniform.
00:58:04.000And literally there was a viral tweet with like 60, 70k likes that was like, yeah, but this guy had no problem taking a paycheck from the institution that was like harming, you know, people in the valley.
00:58:13.000So I was like, you literally could light yourself on fire and they would still dunk on you.
00:58:16.000I also love that I forget that that happened until someone brings up every time they're like, we will remember you for the cause.
00:58:34.000Part of the reason why I remember it is I have a great little clip about it where it's just totally demolishes his performance, and I'll send it to you guys later.
00:58:44.000I just feel bad for all those virgins waiting for him.
00:59:14.000So that is actually an interesting question.
00:59:16.000Like, does the body cam, regularity of body cams create a scenario where you're giving away techniques, giving away information intelligence, right?
00:59:25.000Like, that's something that you worry about constantly in a warfare scenario.
00:59:29.000You don't want to think about our urban environments like that.
00:59:31.000But that is a real concern to think about ultimately because we see that these guys are operating their autonomous zones.
00:59:37.000We're running your plates through the system.
00:59:39.000They're already mimicking all the things they think ICE is doing.
00:59:42.000What if they're just using that body cam footage as some kind of game film to figure out how they should behaving or how they could trap, you know, trick an ICE agent, lure them in to a bad situation because they've watched how that film is played out before?
00:59:55.000I think that's a possibility that a lot of people haven't considered when it comes to the body cam.
01:00:00.000It's another example of liberalism getting taken advantage of by authoritarianism.
01:00:04.000Like we're making, it's a very good act of faith to have your police officers linked up to a camera.
01:00:09.000Like you're putting some, you know, some responsibility on these guys, some accountability.
01:00:16.000And the downside of that is if some autocrat wants to come and ruin the system, they've got a better information about how to do it.
01:00:22.000We've got Trump here talking about the body cams.
01:01:15.000And next phase will be a completely made-up human gets assaulted by a police officer.
01:01:20.000There are riots in a street somewhere.
01:01:21.000MSNBC picks up the story, runs the image of this completely doctored, fictitious event in a fake person.
01:01:28.000So this is a really thing, like, this is a very Baudrillardian moment.
01:01:32.000Like, what happens when you have your first riot for a fake victim?
01:01:37.000Not in the civil rights, you know, yeah, sure, I'm sure that guy got knocked down in the 1980s, but like an actual completely computer-generated human being from the ground up.
01:01:46.000Yes, that is absolutely the simulacrum.
01:02:06.000What we do is we blackbag the commies and then we put their admissions of their loyalty to Trump out like Winston from 1984, except it's just their AI representation, right?
01:02:18.000But, oh, look, before he went off to that island in Tahiti, he definitely endorsed President Trump's name.
01:02:24.000That's what we can do for any events we don't have holdouts left is we could have Maduro singing the I Will Vote for Donald Trump song, which the Cubans sang, and then just plastered on a Goodyear blimp and fly it over Caracas.
01:02:35.000And any loyalists will come out and be like, oh, well, clearly I'm being bamboozled here.
01:02:44.000So Jean Baudillard was a French philosopher who wrote Simulation and Simi Lacrum, which is the book that the Wachowskis read before The Matrix, before they did that.
01:02:54.000But it's also like a much deeper study on the nature of creating false realities and hyper-reality is a term you might have heard that came out of Baudrillard.
01:03:03.000Basically, I think he made the argument that the Iraq war never happened.
01:03:08.000That's one of those famous adversaries.
01:03:09.000So it's not that war things happened, right?
01:03:36.000So the argument was it was a simulation of a war.
01:03:39.000The Iraq war never actually happened because there was no war because it looked like war and there were more things, but real wars are not predetermined.
01:03:51.000There's the possibility of someone else winning.
01:03:54.000Well, and it's also not experienced by the wider population.
01:03:56.000They only see it on the television screen.
01:04:46.000We all end up debating the hyper-realities we're experiencing rather than actually discussing the facts on the ground and what we have experienced as people.
01:04:54.000And that's kind of what society has become.
01:04:57.000Like everything is a simulation of reality to some degree nowadays.
01:05:01.000Or for the most, the vast majority of people's lives now are a simulation of reality because we experience it through screens as opposed to going out and doing things and experiencing it firsthand.
01:05:11.000Literally everything we're talking about tonight is through simulation.
01:05:35.000But in the year, all of a sudden the Catholic Church was like, it's the year 1000 and there was a guy named Charlemagne that was your first Holy Roman Emperor and we've always controlled this land for 400 years.
01:06:57.000Like the United States is going to send up the Artemis rocket and the end of the week or something like that.
01:07:02.000And then a few months later, I guess the Artemis is going to actually go up and land and we'll start building the first moon base up there.
01:07:09.000Maybe we can talk about it on the after show.
01:07:10.000This is a whole other conversation, moon settlement.
01:07:12.000Because I also have an idea of how to defend the moon, but it's not YouTube friendly.
01:07:49.000There's been rumors that the Trump administration is going to ramp up its efforts, not just towards the Somali population in Minnesota, but also looking at the Haitian population.
01:08:01.000Over 300 groups are asking Donald Trump and his administration to reverse course on ending the Haitian temporary protected status.
01:08:09.000Hundreds of organizations, including civil rights groups, labor unions, immigrants' rights advocates, and faith leaders nationwide are urging President Trump and leaders of the Department of State and Homeland Security to preserve temporary immigration status for Haitians.
01:08:24.000The calls come amid a growing fear and anxiety over the fate of more than 300,000 Haitians who could lose temporary protected status benefits as of 1259 Tuesday if a federal judge does not intervene.
01:08:37.000Now, the most impressive part of this has been the hilarious Democrats who have been going out there and warning, giving press conferences.
01:08:44.000They've been saying insane stuff like, please, whatever you do, don't send them back.
01:09:08.000I have a theoretical question for you.
01:09:11.000If a country is dangerous because it's full of people from that country, if you bring the people of that country to our country, what happens?
01:09:20.000Does the magical soil make them not dangerous?
01:10:30.000Like it was the revolution because it was a French colony, right?
01:10:35.000And the Haitians were working as slaves at the time.
01:10:37.000So you can understand why they were a little angry at the French given everything that was going on.
01:10:41.000But the reaction was, let's say, John Brown-esque in its disproportionality, except they did it to the entire white population of the island at the time.
01:11:10.000But God is merciful and sends a hurricane once a year to clean up the problems.
01:11:14.000There was the family guy bit where Godzilla rolled up to Port-au-Prince and he was like, oh, oh, and like slowly treated back in the water.
01:11:29.000It's really something that they're just like, this country is so unbelievably violent that even the people that flopped out of the country while accounts. wouldn't be able to go back.
01:11:40.000I mean, it's absolutely, that's the whole thing.
01:13:12.000Even if you were just an agricultural country and based on just that, they should be able to produce enough not only to trade with other countries, but to feed everybody in Haiti.
01:13:35.000So we do have some breaking news here.
01:13:37.000It looks like a federal judge temporarily blocked the end of protections for Haitians in the U.S.
01:13:42.000The ruling pauses the Trump administration's plan to end a program that allowed more than 350,000 people from Haiti to remain in the United States.
01:13:55.000A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending a humanitarian protection for more than 350,000 Haitians who have been able to live and work in the United States under what is known as temporary protected status.
01:14:41.000So the temporary protected status here we see in the article is a designation that's created by the U.S. government and can give to countries grappling with natural disasters, armed conflicts, or other acute crisis, make conditions in their country particularly dangerous.
01:14:56.000That's just an excuse to move all of Haiti here all the time.
01:15:00.000And guys, we were talking about this a little bit in the behind the scenes, the green room beforehand.
01:15:04.000But I think this is a big shift because previously when we talked about immigration, conservatives, Republicans, they were always terrified even to talk about immigration restriction.
01:15:14.000But one of the things they were very careful about was to always make it about the individual.
01:15:23.000We have to judge each individual on their own.
01:15:26.000And instead, what we're seeing is increasingly conservatives are comfortable saying, no, there are countries.
01:15:31.000peoples, religions, traditions that are not compatible with us, that are not ultimately going to help the U.S. is not going to contribute to the overall well-being of the American people.
01:15:42.000So whether it's Somalia or Haiti or whatever country we're looking at, if ultimately we deem that country to not be worth our time to not be contributing, it's okay to just say blanket, no, we are not interested in having people from that country here.
01:15:56.000And I think that's actually a monumental shift in the rhetoric and framing when it comes to the immigration issue.
01:16:05.000I think if you live your life in whatever bubble you live in, you'd have a pretty good idea of who you surround yourself with and the actions of those around you.
01:16:12.000And if you formulate opinions based on your own bubble, and those opinions happen to be what some people call racist, I would say, well, you go live in those places and live around the same people.
01:16:21.000But there is a reason why people do self-select and self-sort throughout the entire country.
01:16:34.000This is like the whole thing is because it's great that we're able to address Haitians and Somalians and stuff.
01:16:38.000But it's downstream from the real, like, you know, I guess the real conclusion that we should be coming to, which is like the demographic composition of your country is like a very valid, like the very valid discussion to have.
01:16:49.000And for whatever reason, like people in the West aren't allowed to have that, but pretty much every other country is allowed to have a conversation.
01:16:55.000Like, what do I want my culture to look like?
01:16:56.000What do I want my country to look like?
01:16:57.000Like the actual composition of the country.
01:16:59.000You always in the United States have to predicate it with like, you know, some economic argument or perhaps that they're just extremely violent, which is true.
01:17:05.000And those are arguments that I use myself.
01:17:07.000But even if like they were just top performers, I should still be able to say, like, for example, like the Chinese, maybe, I'd be like, well, yeah, but that still changes my country.
01:17:13.000And I would like my country, my kids, my grandkids, the country to look like my country.
01:17:18.000Like, school choice exists because if I had a choice, you send my kids to a school that's on MLK versus a school that's not on MLK.
01:17:24.000I mean, I'm definitely choosing the school not on MLK.
01:17:27.000Yeah, I mean, look, I think the Chinese argument or the China argument is a little different.
01:17:31.000I think it's a bad example because China's an adversary and every single Chinese person that has family in China, every single Chinese person here that also has family in China is a could be compromised because they will apply pressure to their family, throw them in jail to get the people that are here.
01:17:47.000So I understand the point you're making, but when it comes to China, they're absolutely an adversary.
01:17:52.000And the idea that they're in any way should be partnered with or anything, it is a terrible idea.
01:17:57.000Every single Chinese person with family back home is compromised currently.
01:18:02.000And it should be completely obvious to any serious government that that's the case.
01:18:07.000So we should do everything we can to make sure that we send Chinese people back to China because they will absolutely be used against us by their own government.
01:18:27.000People's lives will be lost at the end of this, but what is the alternative?
01:18:31.000That's the real question is everything has been half measures up to this point.
01:18:34.000As Phil is even saying, how can we even treat our government as serious if they're not going to expel Chinese students, Chinese nationals who are here?
01:18:42.000We know for a fact we just busted a few Chinese nationals smuggling things in and out of the United States, scientific secrets, bringing diseases.
01:18:51.000Yeah, yeah, bringing biological weapons or biological material that's dangerous in the United States.
01:19:04.000We need them to fund our universities, which is garbage because obviously we want Americans to go to our universities.
01:19:10.000And it's fine if a few of those collapse because ultimately they're just teaching children to hate their parents and to hate America anyway.
01:19:17.000So ultimately, that wouldn't be some travesty if we lost it.
01:19:20.000But we can look to a different example.
01:19:22.000We could look to someone like Japan, who is a true ally, who I think most people would feel very comfortable saying is an advanced and honorable culture.
01:19:30.000I would say that's a culture worth admiring, but it's still not my culture.
01:19:34.000I want Japan to be Japanese in 50 years.
01:20:09.000Our way of life is great, but it comes from the people.
01:20:13.000It comes from the tradition we have grown up in.
01:20:17.000And you cannot simply bring someone from Haiti or Somalia in and just slap them into some American university, give them a social security number, and call it a day.
01:20:59.000Like, you bring these pieces and parts into the pot, but if it's too many too fast, you got a chunky mess.
01:21:04.000So you have to spend, people need to homogenize.
01:21:06.000That's why we say about the individual, you bring one person in, surround them with Americans that are indoctrinating them, 10 years, 15 years, they're probably going to be pretty American.
01:21:15.000But if you bring 500 Haitians in and they're surrounding one American, it's a completely inverted scenario where this one guy potentially develops sympathies or become Haitian-minded, you know?
01:21:27.000And like we even had this problem with Ellis Island immigration, like when the Ellis Island wave of immigrants came in, these are coming from countries that were like very close to the United States, culturally speaking, as far as like, I mean, you had Irish, Italians, the only like big, massive difference they had from other Western European countries that they're Catholic, not Protestant.
01:21:40.000And even they had like a lot of issues assimilating.
01:21:43.000Like they would create these massive ethnic enclaves, these gangs.
01:21:45.000They would have, they basically took over the Democrat Party in a lot of ways.
01:21:48.000And so we have these massive problems with Ellis Island and we make it out on the other side.
01:21:52.000And instead of like rubbing our brown and be like, wow, we made it out of that one piece, we're like, no, make it worse and just like expand the definition of who should come here.
01:21:58.000Well, the problem is every time we bring that up, the left treats that as like, oh, oh, we can assimilate people.
01:22:03.000Like, that's proof we can assimilate people.
01:22:04.000No, that's proof that you could just barely assimilate people close to you.
01:22:09.000We forget the fact that the Germans had to be forced to break up many of their ethnic neighborhoods.
01:22:14.000They often had to, their kids had to be sent to schools to learn English because they did not want to assimilate.
01:22:19.000There was an active, like just Germans who we think of as pretty American at this point in the United States were put in internment camps along with the Japanese during World War II for the fear that some of them might be traitors.
01:22:30.000That's how it wasn't that long ago where these were very foreign people.
01:22:34.000And we shut down immigration for like 40 years too, didn't we?
01:22:58.000I was in like that liberal mind spiral in like 2006, 70, 8.
01:23:02.000And I was very much, I like culture bonding.
01:23:06.000I like going to a neighborhood that is not my culture and becoming the culture of that neighborhood and then meeting all the locals and they look up to me and they want to be more like the American.
01:23:26.000So it's a double-edged blade, that desire to change people's culture.
01:23:30.000Yeah, I was reading online about a Japanese tourist who came to Los Angeles and was really disappointed to find that there was like virtually no Americans at the places he was visiting.
01:23:37.000And that made me pretty sad because I'm like, I'm so proud of the United States and so proud of my culture and et cetera, that I do want tourists to come here and be like amazed by what we are, what we have and sort of our people and that sort of thing.
01:23:48.000And I found that story really heartbreaking.
01:23:50.000Like, you know, black people laughed at this.
01:23:51.000They're like, wow, that really shows the state Los Angeles is in.
01:23:53.000I'm like, yeah, because they're not going to, I mean, no offense, but they're not going to visit Nebraska.
01:23:56.000Like, they're going to visit Los Angeles.
01:23:59.000These places should be dripping in American culture to where a Japanese person, you know, whoever arrives to visit for a week and they're like blown away by how rich and deep our culture is.
01:25:03.000And so that's the thing that you need to keep in mind.
01:25:05.000This is why classic immigration, classic assimilation was always considered to be multi-generational.
01:25:11.000Aristotle and I think Aquanas eventually talked about three-generation immigration and how that allows you to ultimately vet whether or not someone is absorbing the culture.
01:26:17.000It used to be just like a huge section of foreigners, Germans here, Norwegians here.
01:26:23.000And this is why you still see the Dutch in certain parts.
01:26:26.000This is why you still see, you know, these different cultures still manifest themselves in the, you know, the, the, the, the Midwest or, you know, the, the, the Northeast.
01:26:34.000You can continually see the kind of the ethnic imprint.
01:26:36.000But the difference is, you know, America was forming at that time and we had to fill a lot of land.
01:26:42.000We had an entire nate or entire continent basically that we needed to take over because if we didn't, some other European power was going to do it, right?
01:26:53.000That's why you saw so many large waves of immigration, especially as we pushed west, because if we just simply didn't put physical bodies in those areas, I mean, think about what's still happening near the Mexican border, right?
01:27:06.000And so in a way, kind of just whether we draw these kind of artificial lines or not, the natural barrier of the people who live there actually dictates who owns what area of any given nation.
01:27:18.000So we were that way when we were forming, but we're beyond that now.
01:27:21.000And it's okay to say, this was the way we had to be when we were becoming a nation.
01:27:25.000But now that we've done that, we're something else.
01:27:27.000You know, Rome started as a collection of thieves and criminals who came together originally.
01:27:34.000I don't think that's how they ultimately define themselves a thousand years later saying, well, we were founded by thieves and criminals.
01:27:40.000They understood that there were different moments in their history.
01:27:44.000They went from being a kingdom to a republic to an empire.
01:27:47.000And it's okay as Americans to realize, okay, there was a moment where large-scale immigration and kind of these ethnic enclaves were a part of who we are.
01:27:55.000But now we have to unify and we have to become something else.
01:27:57.000And we no longer need to bring in, you know, 20, 30, 40 million people to conquer the frontier.
01:28:07.000So having like a half million Germans on the frontier is just like not the same as like Bengali neighborhoods in the biggest city in our country.
01:28:13.000Once we need to populate Mars and we're in a rush to lay bodies down on the surface, we'll just be like, look, we'll send the Haitians.
01:28:39.000They're just going to drop hundreds of thousands of robots and be like, try and take it from us.
01:28:44.000The Chinese just developed some robot that can walk in negative 44 degree winter for like hundreds of miles at a time.
01:28:50.000That would be kind of exciting if like the moon just turned into like the Battle Bots TV show and it was just like all the countries dropping in robots.
01:28:56.000I was like, seeing who can be like, like, who does like the Czech Republic defends like a rock star robot?
01:29:00.000They're just like cleaning out house up there.
01:29:12.000Like, Jamaica develops just like an insane robot, has like a week where it's just cleaning house and then it like runs out of fuel.
01:29:17.000They build the carpet bot that can like take out a bunch of bots and like next week.
01:29:21.000Yeah, like yeah, like Afghanistan develops like the goat bot and this like just blows up.
01:29:25.000So the only other thing I'll say about mass immigrant, because I think we might be going to super chats pretty soon.
01:29:29.000The last thing about the immigration, one thing that we could, we could do with these people as if they're slave servants to be used is replace the birth rate decline.
01:29:37.000If we're suffering actually a birth rate decline that some of these people that come here could be used for menial labor or just earn your citizenship through work or something.
01:29:46.000So the problem is that that fails every time because the immigrant population's birth rate drops immediately after a generation or two.
01:29:54.000So bringing those people in makes them low birth rate faster than they replace your lack of birth rate.
01:30:00.000So this is always like a temptation, an understandable logical temptation to solve this problem, but it reliably produces the opposite results because not only do these people become less and less likely to replace themselves, even though they had a higher fertility rate when they came in, they also depress the fertility rate of the native population.
01:30:18.000Studies show repeatedly that higher immigration reduces the native fertility.
01:30:23.000So not only are you making a devil's bargain in the fact that these people are going to tank their own fertility rate, they're also going to tank yours in the process.
01:30:29.000Do they generally tank their fertility rate just because they assimilate to a culture that has a low fertility rate?
01:32:49.000Yeah, we shouldn't be like, this kind of counters like a lot of things we say here at Temkist, but like, as Americans, we shouldn't be forced to have 10 kids apiece just to compete with foreign invaders.
01:33:50.000Fewer and fewer people are willing to pay the additional cost to move their children out of a suburban area or to educate them in a good school in those areas.
01:35:15.000This is mundane stuff that countries do.
01:35:18.000There are other countries where if you go into the country illegally, you go to jail for 10 years.
01:35:22.000There are some places where you get killed.
01:35:24.000Like if you go to North Korea and they catch you and you're there illegally, they will kill you.
01:35:28.000Like deporting people, offering to pay people to leave the country is one of the most magnanimous things that any country has ever done.
01:35:36.000So the idea that this is somehow beyond the pale because we say we want to actually have border enforcement and make sure that people that are here are only here legally, it's totally ridiculous.
01:35:47.000The idea that the Trump administration is the boot is actually clown world.
01:35:54.000So I actually just did a show on this with Jerry Kaufman, who is a he's a libertarian, but he's like one of the few sane libertarians.
01:36:03.000And he's just like, look, libertarians are bad on this because they see any action by the state as a violation because it's just all ideological abstraction.
01:36:12.000His point was we are doing real libertarianism by ensuring that we have borders that keep out people who won't want to be libertarian.
01:36:20.000We have our own policies that drive people away, that disincentivize them to be part of this.
01:36:27.000You could have a libertarian structure inside as long as you kind of have a nice little authoritarian structure on the outside, keeping the libertarians safe to do their thing.
01:36:35.000I hope you guys have takes by Jeremy Coffin is he says that he's like, I want people to be able to use heroin.
01:36:42.000And then if they use heroin in the park, I want Judge Dredd to come and kill them.
01:36:49.000One of the things that libertarians consistently ignore is the responsibility that comes with liberty.
01:36:54.000They think that because you want to be free, that there's no responsibilities.
01:37:09.000Like, I'm glad you're enjoying your debates and going back and forth of whose boot is whose, but they're killing us and throwing us in prison.
01:38:26.000I'm trying to walk this line between, because like I voted for Trump because I wasn't going to vote for the imperialist suggested candidate without any election, you know, Kamal Harris.
01:38:37.000I knew Trump's agenda was to do deportations, but that doesn't mean I was giving him a blank check to do whatever you want to those people.
01:38:44.000I'm like, I want to see what you're going to do.
01:38:45.000And if you step out of what I think is the line, I'm going to say something about it.
01:38:48.000But to your point, Orin, about, am I going too authoritarian?
01:38:51.000Because stuff I want to say, but then I'm like, I feel like as part of a media apparatus, I have an obligation to de-escalate at every turn.
01:39:01.000I don't know how you guys feel about that.
01:39:48.000I'm not here to tell anyone to make things worse.
01:39:50.000I'm just asking people to realize where they are and act like an adult instead of hiding their head in the sand.
01:39:55.000And when I look back, you know, maybe 10 years now, let's say we actually do win.
01:39:58.000We actually wield power like we should if we want to win this, look back and say, yeah, we probably could have done things a little bit differently.
01:40:04.000Yes, but I'll be alive to say that and not in prison.
01:40:08.000The thing about Franco is he gets to decide whether or not he went too far in getting rid of the communists because he's still around to think about what would have happened if he hadn't gotten rid of the communists.
01:40:18.000I think about like winning because he said winning.
01:40:20.000I don't even know what would that look like to you first is my question.
01:40:23.000And then I'll tell you what I was thinking.
01:40:30.000No, I think strong family values bring back morals, bring back a good economy, good trade deals, secure borders.
01:40:38.000I think I love open carry, more guns for people.
01:40:41.000Yeah, I do think that a significant number, and I'm talking in the tens of millions of people deported, it would look something like victory.
01:40:51.000I'm like, if I win, what am I winning?
01:40:53.000Am I sitting on the top of a heap of rubble that I created?
01:41:14.000I mean, like I'm saying, if you deport people, you see now that prices for housing are going down in places across the country because there are fewer people competing for those resources.
01:41:28.000Everything in basically everything in the United States is a finite resource.
01:41:35.000And so the more people that you have competing to buy things, the higher prices go.
01:41:39.000The more people you have competing to occupy space, the higher prices go.
01:41:44.000Part of the reason why health care is so expensive is because there are more people that are trying to get the health care from the hospitals.
01:41:52.000You wait longer in the emergency room.
01:41:55.000There are people that need services that can't get it because there are more people here trying to compete for them.
01:42:23.000Now you got to get number four in there.
01:42:24.000It's all very, you know, very exhausting.
01:42:27.000Little dude, we got a lot of work to do.
01:42:30.000As soon as you can start walking or talking or something, like I said, I tell every baby this that's watching the show, get on Twitter, just start letting some tweets fly.
01:43:52.000Jay Hamblins says, should they release body cam footage each week under the reason of transparency, so the normies get a taste of what ICE goes through on a daily basis, not just when they're being scrutinized?
01:44:05.000So i'll say this, I have heard I cannot confirm but i've heard there might be an ice version of cops in production somewhere.
01:44:12.000Uh, so we might get that regular body cam footage.
01:44:14.000You know some, some of the best of the best out there.
01:44:17.000I think that would be very entertaining.
01:44:19.000Yes, we get transparency but, more important, just like a bunch of meth heads in Florida, we get to laugh at them being arrested and that's really what it's all about in the United States.
01:44:26.000No, we need like a like a Sports Center top 10, like arrests of the week.
01:44:30.000So like if someone really pulls off like an insane tackle, you have like John Madden doing circles on it like look at the sport by your wall.
01:45:33.000Uh, you know we're hoping we get him back in that crucial position.
01:45:36.000Till then, we're gonna play clean ball, though we're gonna make sure, you know, like that's great Movino's out of Minnesota coaching Carousel, this one lost a fingertip.
01:45:44.000He's got to learn how to shoot left-handed now.
01:45:46.000Yeah, we got to move him to left tackle.
01:45:56.000Here he says, can we deport the activist judges that went to block the end of the Haitian uh protected status to Haiti and keep the uh I don't know how to pronounce that of a woman here uh, pretty please.
01:46:09.000Uh yeah, I mean obviously uh, activist judges can just head on out with the rest of them.
01:46:13.000I think that uh ultimately the the, the Trump administration is probably going to come to that moment where they have to make a decision to break with the courts.
01:46:21.000Uh, and that will be a very difficult moment.
01:46:24.000Obviously, they want to stay within those bounds as long as possible.
01:46:27.000They need a very egregious action by a judge to make any of that in any way justifiable, and that's something that they're going to have to choose, probably at some point, but I think they're going to play it inside the lines.
01:46:39.000As long as they can yep, All right, let's see what else we got here.
01:46:47.000We've got Wolf saying all the solutions are TOS violations and yet our supposed base patriots won't even risk those TOS violations, let alone actually enact said solution.
01:46:58.000Why exactly should we bother voting again?
01:47:01.000Yes, it is very smart to do things that get your YouTube channel taken off of YouTube.
01:47:31.000But while it is still our legitimating, like, you know, the way that we ultimately decide who's going to be in charge of the government, at least theoretically, then we do have to care about elections.
01:47:42.000It's not a fix-all solution, but it still matters.
01:47:45.000And it's a relatively low effort way to like use your political power.
01:47:50.000So at the very least, get out there and vote for the guy who's going to give you deportations, a closed border, and freed political prisoners.
01:47:56.000Maybe he doesn't give you everything you want.
01:47:57.000Maybe he does some things you don't like.
01:47:59.000Maybe you go around saying those things and telling people why those are bad.
01:48:03.000But I just don't understand why you'd say, no, those things just don't matter at all.
01:48:06.000I'd ask what it is you think he's not doing yet.
01:48:08.000I mean, we did just raid Fulton County.
01:48:26.000And whereas I understand that frustration, if you just arrest people without having all of the evidence put together, especially if you're talking about RICO charges or something, some big stuff, if you just arrest people and you don't put, you know, they get found not guilty, you can't arrest them again.
01:48:44.000We have a law that says in the Constitution, it says you can't be tried for the same crime twice.
01:48:50.000So if they fail, if they arrest people and fail, they lose the opportunity.
01:48:55.000And I understand there are people like, oh, they're not going to do anything.
01:48:58.000But just like Oren was saying, this is like things are night and day better than they were under Joe Biden.
01:49:05.000Things would be incredibly terrible if we had Kamala Harris.
01:49:09.000It would be everything that Joe Biden did on 10.
01:49:12.000So I understand people being frustrated, but there have been victories.
01:49:17.000And to blackpill when we've had a lot of victories kind of seems silly to me.
01:49:23.000Arresting these people is a lot more difficult than arresting a couple of, you know, just regular nine to five or two.
01:49:28.000I mean, it's going to take a lot more court pressure.
01:49:30.000It's going to take a lot better investigation.
01:49:31.000Like, again, like when you arrest these 1,600 people, most of them don't have the $100,000 to buy an attorney to help them fight charges.
01:49:38.000They'll just take whatever plea deal they get while they're rotting in prison.
01:49:41.000That was the point that I made earlier.
01:49:42.000When you go after the small fish, you get way more out of it by arresting the average Joe that isn't a wealthy guy that isn't politically connected.
01:49:50.000It's much harder to go after people that are politically connected.
01:50:41.000I've believed since I was young, and I can't imagine anything else.
01:50:44.000The world has always been enchanted for me in a way that I know it isn't for a lot of people in modernity.
01:50:49.000And that's not something I did or I achieved.
01:50:51.000That's just a blessing that God gave me.
01:50:53.000That said, if you're wondering how can you believe, you know, C.S. Lewis was a brilliant man who ran from God for a very long time.
01:51:00.000And it wasn't until JRO Tolkien and several other very intelligent guys at Oxford came together and told him about how important it was that he pursued a relationship with Christ, that he believed in Christianity, that he ultimately found that it wasn't just the idea of some kind of, you know, academic problem, that actually those solutions came very quickly.
01:51:20.000It was ultimately his resistance to faith, his wanting to fight against God, that was keeping him apart.
01:51:26.000And I just think that, if you know, Tolkien and C.S. Lewis ultimately can believe in God, you can too.
01:51:41.000It sounds like you want to learn and you want to believe.
01:51:43.000Those are the first steps man you, you know you you, you walk, and then you run, you ask god for you know that faith and eventually, I believe, it will be delivered to you.
01:51:52.000You have to knock, but the door gets open.
01:52:23.000Yeah man, i'm not a Christian, I don't adhere to earth religions, but God seems to be real.
01:52:28.000I don't know what it is, but it's like the spiraling vortex at the center of every proton and galaxy and universe, like it's this fractal re, you know resonation reverberation refractation, whatever.
01:52:37.000It's just repetitive cycle that's reversing entropy, as far as I can tell, I don't know, seems to be real.
01:53:05.000You have a Tesla, is there you're talking about?
01:53:06.000You said electric cars are not electric.
01:53:08.000Most of the electricity in the United States is generated by coal or or whatever, but there are places that that have nuclear and and.
01:53:16.000Uh, if you have like solar panels on your house and a battery in your house, or actually just solar panels on your house and you plug your car in, then that'll be getting it directly from the sun.
01:53:25.000Most excited for when they can make graphene bodies that are solar panels and the car itself will charge fast enough to power it.
01:53:32.000That should be within the next 10 years, should be?
01:53:50.000Yeah uh, handy man here says, uh tax, Tax incentives in Hungary, let's see, tax incentive is what Hungary did to increase birth rates.
01:54:00.000Yeah, and there's mixed results on that.
01:54:01.000Some show that you see a bump, but it doesn't create long-term benefits.
01:54:08.000I think that we should economically orient ourselves to having families and having children.
01:54:13.000We should stop treating Americans as the individual being the most important unit, instead recognize that families are what create the future of the country and we should make our investments there.
01:54:22.000That said, all the tax code fixes, all the financial fixes, they're great, but nothing replaces a people who sees a future for themselves, who understands themselves as a collective entity working towards something.
01:54:35.000They want to see themselves reflected in the future.
01:54:37.000That's what ultimately gets people to have children.
01:54:41.000Oswald Spangler said that once a civilization has to ask the question, should we have children?
01:54:48.000Because once children stop being a natural rhythm, a natural outcome, the telos of your civilization, it starts to find reasons not to have them and ultimately dies off.
01:54:58.000So I agree with you that the tax incentives are a good move, but they're not a final way to fix this issue.
01:55:04.000They're ultimately something that is only a stepping stone to understanding that you should be working to further your nation and your understanding of the future as a people who want to see their way of life continue.
01:55:15.000And I mean, Hungary might have been an exception because, I mean, South Korea, Japan have been trying similar strategies and their birth rates are continuing to decline.
01:56:50.000But it's, again, a question of political capital, as I think many different gentlemen on this panel pointed out simultaneously, bagging somebody like Tim Walz, but I think send a far stronger message.
01:57:01.000Someone who's in the zeitgeist, who's obviously guilty of being involved, very likely, allegedly, in fraud and all of these things, facilitating that behavior.
01:57:12.000I think that ultimately that's what we should be aiming for.
01:57:15.000I get the frustration, but the Trump administration is taking action.
01:57:18.000We encourage them to take more action, just sitting there and go, nothing ever happens.
01:57:22.000I think that's just a way to blackpill.
01:57:24.000I think that's a way to try to be right all the time instead of invest in things that should actually be happening.
01:57:29.000Yeah, perma bears are right once in a while, but they're just still just perma bears, right?
01:57:34.000You know, if you're constantly saying that the sky is falling, then eventually, you know, when something bad happens, you can just be like, oh, see, I was right, I was right.
01:57:42.000And you never have to deal with the fact that you're wrong all the time until you're right, you know.
01:57:48.000Guys, have you ever realized that you spent all your time learning how to take off in the plane, but you never discussed how to land it?
02:04:15.000You know, NASA is just days away from its first chance to launch Artemis 2, the first astronaut mission to the moon since 1972, and will attempt a critical test for the lunar flight on Monday, February 2nd.
02:04:28.000Ahead of the first launch window for Artemis 2, which runs from February 8th to February 11th, NASA will complete a mission countdown simulation to power on and fuel the Space Launch System rocket.
02:04:37.000Operators were called the station Saturday evening, about 49 hours ahead of simulated T-Zero, currently scheduled for Monday at 9 p.m.
02:04:45.000See our complete coverage for critical test here.
02:04:47.000So it's been a long time since we've been to the moon.
02:04:51.000If you believe in that sort of thing, I do.
02:05:15.000It's easier to launch from the moon to go to Mars than to launch from the Earth.
02:05:19.000Do you guys think that this is a worthwhile endeavor?
02:05:22.000Do you think that this is a new frontier that people should, that the United States should be pushing, or do you think that this is a waste of time?
