Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - TikTok SUES Biden Over BAN, Israel INVADES Rafah DEFYING Biden Admin w-Jay Dyer | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 TikTok is suing the Biden administration over the bill to ban TikTok in this country saying

00:00:23.000 they'd rather shut it down than sell it, which some people suggest or say suggests that they're

00:00:29.000 more interested in TikTok as a weapon than they are a platform that can make them money.

00:00:34.000 But it's also the counterargument TikTok being forced to sell means they're not going to be able to get a real, true value for the product.

00:00:41.000 So there's that.

00:00:42.000 Then there's Israel invading Rafah, despite the fact the Biden administration said, don't do it.

00:00:46.000 Israel said they didn't care.

00:00:47.000 They did it anyway.

00:00:48.000 Biden, of course, withholding military aid to Israel potentially over this.

00:00:52.000 And he did that anyway, but nothing seeming to stop Israel. 0.94

00:00:55.000 And then we have the Stormy Daniels testimony in Trump's hush money trial, where apparently she got She offended the court.

00:01:03.000 She was making a joke out of the trial, some have suggested, talking about disgusting and lurid things, to the point where Trump's team actually called for a mistrial.

00:01:12.000 They filed for a mistrial.

00:01:13.000 The judge said no.

00:01:15.000 And then, of course, in the Trump documents case, the judge has indefinitely suspended that trial.

00:01:21.000 Now, of course, the left is screaming, saying that You know, there's corruption here, of course.

00:01:26.000 And then big news!

00:01:27.000 AstraZeneca has pulled their COVID vaccine entirely from the European market.

00:01:31.000 They never brought it here in the U.S., but shortly after a story broke that they admitted in a lawsuit there were rare side effects, they are now pulling it entirely, citing market reasons.

00:01:40.000 So we'll talk about those things.

00:03:07.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

00:03:09.000 That's SCNR News.

00:03:10.000 I'm so happy to be here tonight.

00:03:11.000 Hi, Serge!

00:03:12.000 Hello, I'm Serge.com.

00:03:14.000 Let's get started, Tim.

00:03:15.000 Here's the big news from the Daily Mail.

00:03:17.000 TikTok is suing the Biden administration over the law forcing a ban or sale from ByteDance.

00:03:23.000 They say the platform's parent company ByteDance has accused Biden's administration of violating First Amendment rights by allegedly trying to silence the 170 million Americans who use a social media application.

00:03:33.000 The bill was overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed by Biden on April 24th, giving ByteDance until January 19th to sell TikTok or face a ban.

00:03:42.000 It was driven by concerns that China could use the app to access American users' data.

00:03:47.000 And now we'll pause and interject.

00:03:49.000 Everybody knows no one cares about them stealing data.

00:03:52.000 And the real issue is that this is the one platform the deep state can't control.

00:03:56.000 And on the platform, massive anti-Israel and pro-Palestine content started to emerge.

00:04:01.000 And then shortly following that, Democrats jumped in line with Republicans to ban this.

00:04:06.000 And then they did.

00:04:08.000 Now, I'll clarify.

00:04:09.000 The bill doesn't literally ban the service.

00:04:11.000 It prohibits U.S. 0.91

00:04:12.000 companies from contracting with any company that has some kind of business tie with North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran.

00:04:21.000 In this instance, of course, TikTok is connected with China.

00:04:24.000 ByteDance is.

00:04:25.000 So the bill requires TikTok to divest from this Chinese source, and then they're fine. 1.00

00:04:31.000 If they don't, they will be purged from U.S. 0.95

00:04:34.000 servers and app stores.

00:04:36.000 So what does that mean?

00:04:38.000 Worst case scenario, TikTok will be a website you can go to, and if you want to use it, it won't be on Apple because Apple's a closed operating system.

00:04:45.000 It'll be on Android if you download an APK, but for all intents and purposes, it is a ban if they do not divest from China.

00:04:53.000 So I love this official mainstream narrative that the real reason is they don't want China getting your data.

00:04:58.000 Yeah, right.

00:05:00.000 Everybody's stealing your data.

00:05:01.000 Every app is stealing your data.

00:05:02.000 There are a bunch of other apps that are owned by ByteDance and other Chinese companies, and they never complained about them.

00:05:08.000 But here we are with them wanting to ban it.

00:05:10.000 Now, the interesting question is, will they actually win in court?

00:05:14.000 I think considering Trump tried to executive order ban TikTok a couple years ago, it's very likely that this bill will just get smashed.

00:05:22.000 I think it's interesting that TikTok has decided it's easier to fight the United States government than to fight the Chinese government.

00:05:28.000 Like, the effort to remain in the U.S.

00:05:32.000 as opposed to the effort to divest from China appears to be the strategy they think they're going to take.

00:05:36.000 They always said they were going to challenge the bill.

00:05:37.000 They always said they thought it was unconstitutional, etc.

00:05:40.000 But, you know, geopolitically, I feel like they must be weighing which of these two forces would you rather fight?

00:05:46.000 And it seems like they think the U.S.

00:05:48.000 is more likely to give in.

00:05:50.000 I think that ByteDance is likely a cover for, or TikTok is likely an actual tool being used by China to, you know, for espionage.

00:06:05.000 I can't get specific.

00:06:06.000 I don't obviously know, but I think that, you know, China has a desk at basically every single company that operates in China.

00:06:16.000 That's the CCP desk.

00:06:18.000 So every company is connected to the government in the same way that Twitter had a former FBI lawyer had a desk, was their head lawyer.

00:06:30.000 But with China, it's a little more overt than the United States.

00:06:32.000 The United States would use soft power, would try to influence and pressure people just by being present, right?

00:06:39.000 So the fact that the FBI was kind of in the office with Twitter meant that people at the offices of Twitter behaved a certain way.

00:06:49.000 With the CCP, with China, it's not I'm in favor of the bill.

00:06:56.000 very overt. They're like, you're going to do this. And so it's pretty obvious as to why they decided

00:07:03.000 to go ahead and take the U.S. on in court as opposed to, you know, China, you don't have 0.98

00:07:07.000 courts where you can fight the government. It's just there isn't an option. It's this way or we

00:07:12.000 literally send the guys with the guns to shut you down in the U.S. At least they can try and fight.

00:07:16.000 I'm in favor of the bill. What do you think, Jay?

00:07:19.000 It's just like the other issues we were bringing up before the show.

00:07:23.000 There's no easy answers on this because on the one hand, I could see this being an attempt at a hostile takeover in a corporate sense, but also at the same time, obviously these things are used for espionage and spying purposes.

00:07:36.000 I know that every time I've tried to put something on TikTok, I get bans and strikes immediately.

00:07:40.000 I've been banned multiple times for not breaking the rules.

00:07:44.000 I put up one minor clip that had like a few seconds of Lord Voldemort, you can probably figure out who I'm talking about.

00:07:51.000 Unbelievable.

00:07:51.000 So I put that up and I was gone.

00:07:53.000 Never had any success on it.

00:07:54.000 So from a personal perspective, I don't care.

00:07:56.000 But I know that there's something going on, PsyOps-wise, with the way that this is really messing with especially young people's minds.

00:08:05.000 But at the same time, I understand that the model then is copied by our big tech entities as well.

00:08:10.000 So there's no easy answers here.

00:08:12.000 I'm in favor of it, simply because the economic factor.

00:08:16.000 170 million Americans, they brag about that.

00:08:18.000 That's a massive piece of our digital economy controlled by China. 0.94

00:08:22.000 Their algorithms and their whims.

00:08:25.000 Nah, I think that's bad.

00:08:26.000 More importantly...

00:08:27.000 I did this segment earlier today about this woman who has the world's biggest lips. 1.00

00:08:30.000 I don't know if you guys saw this story.

00:08:32.000 She's 26.

00:08:33.000 And I noticed this when traveling, especially going to Vegas.

00:08:38.000 Young women with massive lip fillers. 0.99

00:08:40.000 And it's repulsive.

00:08:41.000 Sorry, I just think it is.

00:08:42.000 You could live your life.

00:08:45.000 The way you look is of no consequence to me.

00:08:47.000 If you want to get lip fillers, you do.

00:08:49.000 You don't have to care about what I think, but I'll tell you what I think.

00:08:51.000 I think it's repulsive.

00:08:52.000 And what we're learning is, it's not just TikTok, it's also Instagram, but this is still a large component of, we should not allow a foreign entity to be influencing our young people to the point where they're destroying their lives, especially with weird behaviors like this. 0.99

00:09:05.000 Yeah, it does seem like it gets in their heads and promotes very strange trends.

00:09:11.000 I think one of the biggest challenges is that the TikTok algorithm is so sophisticated, it's setting the standard for what all social media companies are going to do, right?

00:09:20.000 Exactly.

00:09:20.000 This rapid video platform was quickly adopted by Instagram.

00:09:24.000 YouTube has shorts now.

00:09:26.000 But they can't really, as far as I can tell, they can't really replicate the distribution aspect of the algorithm, getting people to certain content as quickly as TikTok has been able to.

00:09:38.000 And again, if that's ultimately controlled by a foreign entity, that's extremely dangerous. 0.61

00:09:42.000 Yeah, and also a lot of people critique it by pointing out that what's shown in China is not what's shown to Western audiences, and that's on purpose. 0.61

00:09:50.000 So they'll have long-form content that's actually positive messages about, like, having family and, you know, wholesome things, whereas what's shown here is this really short-form content that actually promotes T-R-A-N-S type things. 1.00

00:10:03.000 Should we get super-conspiratorial and just assume that Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok are the solution to the long-form podcast alternative media problem for the Deep State?

00:10:15.000 I'm half-kidding, but there's no reason for these platforms to decide that minute-long content is better than two-hour-long content.

00:10:23.000 You had, you know, Joe Rogan burst on the scene with these long-form podcasts something like, what, 14 years ago?

00:10:28.000 He's using Ustream.

00:10:29.000 Then he's on YouTube.

00:10:31.000 And these very long conversations become extremely popular.

00:10:34.000 And then with YouTube throughout like 2016 into even today, still slowly less so today in the past couple of years, the content that was popular and promoted in the algorithm was 10 minutes plus.

00:10:47.000 Now, I see channels that, there's one guy, he's got a great channel by the way, but all his videos are a minute long, and he got a million subscribers in like six months from making shorts because the algorithm is promoting this.

00:10:59.000 But then what do you get if the only media you consume is flash in the pan, flip, flip, flip?

00:11:05.000 You get people who don't actually know what's going on, they won't actually explore the issues, and this is mighty fine!

00:11:11.000 If you're concerned about the rabble having access to sharing information and deep dives.

00:11:17.000 Yeah, it reminds me of when people are like, oh, I know a lot about the story.

00:11:20.000 And it's like, well, I read the headline of the story.

00:11:22.000 I didn't read anything else.

00:11:23.000 I mean, it's ultimately giving you what can effectively be the same amount of information as a headline.

00:11:28.000 And I think it does sort of grate away at everyone's attention spans.

00:11:32.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:11:32.000 I think it's really easy to damage your attention span and get addicted to short-form content.

00:11:36.000 I think, remember when the whistleblowers from the big tech companies came out a few years ago, that Jason, I think Renier guy, the dude with the dreads, right?

00:11:45.000 And he was talking about how they did specifically design the non-stop scrolling feed for that purpose.

00:11:52.000 Their main purpose was to keep you on the app, which makes sense, but the idea is that you don't ever actually fixate and you know, ruminate on what you're reading, you're actually

00:12:03.000 just constantly agitated.

00:12:05.000 And I think there's something to that. And from a psychological perspective,

00:12:07.000 because there were studies a while back, I remember Alex talking about it years ago, that

00:12:10.000 people that listen to radio or to podcasts, long form, they tend to have a better retention span,

00:12:17.000 they tend to have a lot higher IQ even, because they're actually engaging different parts of the

00:12:21.000 brain that just a nonstop visual like this, you're not even like half of your brain is not being

00:12:26.000 It's static. It's just garbled noise and random nonsense.

00:12:31.000 Especially when you're doing the thing where you just swipe to the next video and getting the algorithmic feed.

00:12:35.000 You know, when I'm on Instagram, I'm sitting there on a toilet or whatever, I go to my recommendation tab and I get this big spattering of random garbage.

00:12:42.000 And they're always trying to feed you something.

00:12:43.000 But all I end up watching is just like, right now I think I'm watching a lot of like skiing and snowboarding videos and skateboarding videos.

00:12:51.000 But you look at this big map of content and you choose to watch one thing at a time.

00:12:56.000 And so there's still a sort of through line in that when you look at it that way.

00:13:00.000 But a lot of people aren't even doing that now.

00:13:02.000 What's happening is with Reels on Instagram is they'll watch a podcast clip and then swipe to the next one.

00:13:06.000 My favorite phenomenon out of all this is the fake podcast.

00:13:10.000 Have you seen these?

00:13:11.000 People will make an Instagram short where they'll buy a mic arm.

00:13:15.000 Put it in front of them and then talk to the wall and they'll say something like, no, no, no, quite literally, they will turn the camera on and immediately go, well, you can't actually say that.

00:13:25.000 I mean, if you look at the economy today, we know that Biden is responsible for the inflation. 0.73

00:13:29.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:13:30.000 No, that's a ridiculous argument. 0.99

00:13:31.000 And then that's it. 0.81

00:13:32.000 There's no person.

00:13:33.000 There's no podcast.

00:13:34.000 That's the whole clip.

00:13:35.000 And then it gets like a million views.

00:13:37.000 It's a fake podcast clip because it's probably born out of clips from like Joe Rogan because people would clip his show and then people realized.

00:13:47.000 Just make a fake podcast.

00:13:48.000 A lot of it's dating.

00:13:49.000 It'll be a woman saying, no, I actually think that men are deserving, blah, blah, blah. 0.98

00:13:53.000 It's totally pandering to the audience.

00:13:55.000 Million views, a million followers, and there was never a podcast to begin with.

00:13:58.000 You mean me rehearsing our IRL script could just be our shorts?

00:14:02.000 That's crazy.

00:14:03.000 If you're watching this on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube shorts, there never was a Timcast IRL.

00:14:09.000 It's a green screen.

00:14:10.000 And we've just spliced everyone together.

00:14:12.000 Everything's pink and gray.

00:14:15.000 Gray.

00:14:15.000 The room is very gray.

00:14:17.000 Just like the overlords want it, you know?

00:14:18.000 I mean, this is what I find disheartening about all of this, which is, like, instead of encouraging people to pursue things they're really interested in, like, you know, my Instagram feed is a lot of, like, house, you know, DIY, whatever stuff.

00:14:33.000 It's constantly bombarding you with this stuff, but it's not a lot of information.

00:14:36.000 None of these things are designed to give you, well, this is the exact tool that you need.

00:14:40.000 Some of them do, not a lot.

00:14:41.000 And so if you're a young person and your feed is being, is delivering you what you think is news, but it's actually just like fake podcasts and half a headline, you may feel as though you are informed, but actually you are barely on the surface of any issue you've now just devoted, created an emotional attachment to.

00:14:57.000 Most people that surf the little bite-sized content things like your TikToks, like your shorts, like your reels, they have a similar knowledge of the topics that they're willing to engage on, as in they have just a wavetop basic understanding.

00:15:16.000 And I think you see that Uh demonstrated with the the protesters pretty clearly most of the protesters don't know why they're protesting and the ones that do that can actually articulate a sentence or two about why it's very very um

00:15:33.000 It's very cookie cutter.

00:15:34.000 It sounds like they're repeating something from a textbook that they read.

00:15:37.000 It doesn't sound like they're ideas that they have.

00:15:40.000 And I think that that's emblematic of the type of content that those people are consuming.

00:15:47.000 Because it's not saying that everyone does.

00:15:49.000 I just think that it matches up with people that don't really know what they're talking about but have significant emotional attachment to a topic or whatever.

00:15:59.000 But they don't have deep knowledge of it, whereas people that have deep knowledge of it that'll spend the time to learn about it, they might have significant emotional attachment to it, but it's not gonna be the kind of reactionary, emotional outburst kind of attachment.

00:16:10.000 I think the scary thing is that a good portion of the videos on TikTok and Instagram are AI-generated, where people will load a clip.

00:16:20.000 There's like a service you can get that will make these videos for you, and the robot voice, you choose what voice you want, and then it will just read a script, And so it's all these cookie-cutter prefab videos where they'll take a viral clip, add an AI voice narrator, and then re-upload it to the platform. 0.74

00:16:37.000 It's just garbage, like sludge.

00:16:41.000 We are a couple years away from living in the pod and eating the bugs. 0.97

00:16:44.000 Exactly.

00:16:44.000 I was doing a bunch of research on the Diddy thing, and I came across endless YouTube videos that were uploaded of AI voice commenting on this week, Diddy did this, did this.

00:16:56.000 And it's like, not real content, not real information.

00:16:59.000 It reminds me of a TED Talk that one of the tech guys, I don't remember who it was, but several years back,

00:17:04.000 there was a TED Talk about gamification.

00:17:06.000 Everybody should watch that because the guy was saying that the future will be based on video game studies

00:17:12.000 that were done where the dopamine hit that everybody got from like when you're playing a game,

00:17:17.000 you unlock an achievement, that dopamine hit becomes the model

00:17:20.000 that the tech companies would use in their algorithm for social media.

00:17:25.000 So that's the explanation for all of this is that they know that when you see that, you get that hit.

00:17:31.000 And so now you're like addicted to the non-stop constant hit.

00:17:34.000 But then the more you do it, it's a feedback loop that you're not getting the dopamine that you originally got.

00:17:39.000 So is it based on video games?

00:17:40.000 It reminds me of dating apps.

00:17:41.000 Like the people say because you can endlessly swipe and swipe and swipe and like you're just searching for the next match or whatever else which may or may not give you a sense of dopamine.

00:17:48.000 Like we are designed to always be looking for the next thing but to be moving very quickly through it.

00:17:54.000 Billion dollar idea.

00:17:56.000 You want to make a billion dollars?

00:17:57.000 Yes.

00:17:58.000 Okay.

00:17:58.000 It's a dating app service.

00:18:00.000 You know, it feels like Tinder, but it's actually AI.

00:18:05.000 And so what happens is you're some dude and you're like, I'm gonna go on this app

00:18:09.000 and you're swiping and swiping and the hot chick swipes back on you 1.00

00:18:13.000 and it's like a match.

00:18:15.000 And then she's like, you know what, I actually just moved in, but you're so cool.

00:18:19.000 And then she whispers sweet nothings into your ear and it keeps you on the platform.

00:18:23.000 And then for some reason, she just keeps talking about how great Arby's is.

00:18:26.000 And you're like, man, this chick's weird.

00:18:28.000 She's hot, but she loves Arby's.

00:18:29.000 And then, you know, Arby's pays for the interruption.

00:18:32.000 So you're close to Tai Lopez's first idea.

00:18:36.000 Oh yeah.

00:18:37.000 The only difference is that it wasn't AI.

00:18:39.000 It was like his buddies were doing the girls.

00:18:41.000 So it was like a dating thing, but it was a date.

00:18:44.000 But they're like semi-catfishing them?

00:18:45.000 Exactly, yeah.

00:18:46.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:18:47.000 That's the guy from YouTube was like knowledge.

00:18:49.000 That guy?

00:18:50.000 I'm just here in my garage.

00:18:52.000 Hey guys, I'm here in my garage.

00:18:54.000 I got all these books for my knowledge.

00:18:55.000 That was like the meme or whatever.

00:18:58.000 His thing was like he would read the first sentence and then like the last sentence of the book and then that was like the speed reading way to master every book.

00:19:05.000 But what was the service he was offering people?

00:19:07.000 He had a bunch of different.

00:19:08.000 Like the first one was a dating app or not an app.

00:19:11.000 It was a dating website.

00:19:11.000 It was pre-app.

00:19:12.000 So it was like a dating website.

00:19:13.000 How did he make money off that?

00:19:14.000 I was kidding.

00:19:16.000 No, a lot of dudes signed up, like, because it was a guaranteed match.

00:19:20.000 That's what it was.

00:19:20.000 The service was like eHarmony was like, but we guarantee a match.

00:19:24.000 But then the matches were like, like dude bros in there, like, you know, wow.

00:19:27.000 Is that fraud?

00:19:32.000 I don't remember what happened to that case.

00:19:35.000 I think your idea with Arby's is kind of interesting because Democratic-leaning get-out-the-vote efforts will get on dating apps and be like, hey, have you registered to vote?

00:19:44.000 And a lot of times guys are like, I don't know, I could.

00:19:46.000 That sounds okay.

00:19:47.000 It's how long until influencer culture kind of collides with the dating app and they're like, hey, if you get five guys to buy you Arby's, we'll give you $1,000.

00:19:54.000 And she's just on there being like, you want to go to Arby's?

00:19:58.000 That's that's the voter registration thing now.

00:20:00.000 You know, it's going to be like, Republicans are going to start going on dating apps, women, and they're going to be like, you want to meet up?

00:20:06.000 I'm going to register to vote.

00:20:06.000 You want to meet me up and register to vote?

00:20:08.000 That's what the Democrats are saying.

00:20:08.000 They're like, I watched this, I was during midterms, one of the Michigan ones in Michigan was like, this girl wasn't even in Michigan.

00:20:16.000 She's like, Hey, are you like, just constantly to everyone be like, you know, it's really cool voting.

00:20:20.000 Are you registered to vote?

00:20:21.000 Like we can all make a plan to go vote together.

00:20:23.000 Which also just sounds so weird.

00:20:25.000 Like if she was on the street or in a bar saying this to a guy, I feel like he'd be like, no thanks.

00:20:31.000 But on an app, it's like people are like, well, this is how we're going to keep the conversation going.

00:20:34.000 It's like preying on the most vulnerable parts of someone's emotions.

00:20:39.000 Yeah.

00:20:40.000 Look, Arby's should get in on this.

00:20:41.000 They could make a lot of money, possibly, or just create a weird influencer network.

00:20:44.000 We're going to live in the pod and we're going to eat the bugs, whether anyone wants to or not, because all of society is going to move into the pods and they're going to buy the bugs and the market's going to drift away from cheeseburgers and drift towards roach burgers.

00:20:54.000 The thing is, there's a lot of people that are going to be like, oh, I'm going to go ahead and live in the pod.

00:21:02.000 There's going to be a lot of people that'll be like, this is actually better, because For a lot of people on Earth, the pod is actually a better option than their real life.

00:21:11.000 Maybe that's the plan!

00:21:14.000 A lot of times we think of living in the pod compared to our life here, right?

00:21:21.000 Which is, obviously, most people in America are like, well, my normal life is better than the pod.

00:21:27.000 Not everybody but most people.

00:21:29.000 But if you're in like Rwanda or a war-torn place or whatever and you have the option of kind of hunkering down in a pod and not going out into places where you can, you know, be killed and you can stay in the pod and do some kind of menial task or whatever it is that produces you enough money to keep you in the pod.

00:21:45.000 I don't know if that's possible or whatever but that option is a better option than rape, you know, or death, you know, or torture.

00:21:53.000 If you were, like, seriously impoverished, if you have nothing around you, if they're like, we could just be in this pod, it's got air conditioning, and it's, you know, less risk of death, then maybe you would be like, okay.

00:22:03.000 I gotta be honest, it might not even have air conditioning, but you'll have the neural implant, so you won't know the difference.

00:22:09.000 Yeah.

00:22:09.000 Well, the fancy toilet here looks kind of like a pod.

00:22:11.000 I was gonna climb in there and see what it's like, but... So you do want to be in the pod?

00:22:14.000 Yeah, but to be fair, the fancy toilets have been around for a long time.

00:22:17.000 You know, long enough for Original Simpsons to make fun of it.

00:22:19.000 I'm just not fancy.

00:22:20.000 Yeah.

00:22:20.000 You can get them at, like, Home Depot.

00:22:21.000 But I do, I really legit think that, like, most people that are like, no, I won't go and, like, live in the pod, they're comparing it to, like, a generally good life.

00:22:31.000 You get some depressed people that aren't having a great life here in the US and they're

00:22:35.000 like, well, maybe the pod's not so bad.

00:22:37.000 You talk to people that have miserable lives, that they can take the daily drudgery of essentially

00:22:43.000 shoving rocks uphill all day long or live in the pod.

00:22:48.000 How do you think they'll market the pods?

00:22:50.000 Will the pods be sort of like a wellness, self-care thing?

00:22:53.000 Like, life's hard.

00:22:53.000 Take a week or two off in this pod.

00:22:56.000 Or will it be more like an environmental thing?

00:22:59.000 The air is so bad, you could be in this pod.

00:23:01.000 Like, how are they going to market the pods?

00:23:02.000 No, it's going to be a luxury thing.

00:23:04.000 It's going to be like status and luxury and gaming at first.

00:23:08.000 It's going to be marketed as the cool new video game.

00:23:11.000 You gotta be in there.

00:23:12.000 You can do anything.

00:23:14.000 Vacations.

00:23:15.000 Yeah, but it'll be a lot like GTA.

00:23:17.000 It'll be video game and community stuff.

00:23:19.000 So they tried doing it with Metaverse, but you had no legs, and you were like this weird Muppet floating around, like a Wii figure, and people didn't like it.

00:23:26.000 So they got to improve that, but... I mean, I'm not saying that, like, it's a preferable option, but, you know, that is something that I really do think a lot of people would select the pod over.

00:23:39.000 you know, the struggles of life. Yeah, especially if you've got a crappy life,

00:23:43.000 but that's, you know, you do if you're because a lot of life is suffering, man, a lot of your life

00:23:48.000 is suffering. And a lot of people that are not in Western countries, a lot more of their life

00:23:53.000 is suffering than people in the in Western countries. And that's a that's that's one way

00:23:57.000 to write like a sci fi in the vein of the matrix, but in a different way.

00:24:01.000 How about instead of The Matrix being some guy shows up in weird, you know, like techno clothes and offers you a pill, you and your friends are playing video games one day.

00:24:12.000 You go to the store and then all of a sudden as you're walking you can't move and you're like, what's happening?

00:24:15.000 And there's a flicker and then all of a sudden you're in a pod with a tube in your mouth and everyone wakes up from the VR they put themselves in.

00:24:22.000 The system went down, and everyone's groaning in agony and pain, just moaning like, No!

00:24:27.000 Put me back in! 0.64

00:24:28.000 Put me back in! 0.64

00:24:29.000 But the machine is broken.

00:24:31.000 And then, what happens when all of these humans climb out of the pod?

00:24:36.000 With no knowledge of how the system works, no idea how to farm, humans put themselves in the pod to give them this eternal happiness, and then the machine breaks, and everyone's forced out of it.

00:24:46.000 There's a sci-fi movie kind of like that. I'm ruining every one of Tim's ideas. I'm like,

00:24:50.000 I'm sorry. That's already a title. No, there's a movie called the Congress,

00:24:55.000 which is a really good sci-fi story with Robin Wright from a princess bride where

00:25:00.000 she gets the corporation scans her whole body as an actress, and then they own her image. 1.00

00:25:06.000 And then it fast forwards into the future. Basically everyone lives in the pod like

00:25:09.000 you're talking about, but they're walking around like in tattered rags

00:25:13.000 because they just live in this pod.

00:25:15.000 And then when they wake up, they don't really know what to do or how to live.

00:25:17.000 So there you go.

00:25:19.000 Well, uh, let's shift away and we'll start talking about news again, I guess, because we've got funny news.

00:25:24.000 Creepy, funny, and sad for this country.

00:25:26.000 The Stormy Daniels testimony so lurid it almost derailed Trump's trial. 0.54

00:25:31.000 How porn star's lively claims about spanking condoms, SCDs, and the missionary position sparked a slew of objections before the judge called her difficult to control. 0.65

00:25:41.000 Well, here we are.

00:25:42.000 We've jumped the shark.

00:25:44.000 It was bad enough when it went from, there's a strife in this country and a conflict between political factions, into one political faction is trying to put the other political faction in prison, and now, in the effort to put the former president, who is currently the frontrunner, in prison, a porn star got on trial and started talking about spanking condoms, STDs, and the missionary position.

00:26:03.000 This is the sad direction the United States has gone.

00:26:07.000 And I assure you, if you went to the founding fathers and said, this is where we would be in 250 years, they'd probably throw up on the floor.

00:26:14.000 I don't think they'd throw up on the floor because of the behavior of the, uh, uh, because of the president or the, the insults, um, at least, uh, but you know, they were calling each other hermaphrodites and stuff like that.

00:26:26.000 The idea that, that, I just feel like they wouldn't have put Stormy Daniels on the stand.

00:26:30.000 They're like, look, you're a woman of loose morals, like, you're not going to help anybody's case. 1.00

00:26:34.000 I imagine there would have been a whole lot more hushing around that time, you know, with those kind of behaviors.

00:26:39.000 That list of terms there that was supposed to be super lurid is pretty common for sexual coitus conversations.

00:26:46.000 I don't think there's anything that lurid in that.

00:26:48.000 I mean, maybe there's more in the testimony I haven't heard.

00:26:50.000 Did that say spank Trump with a roll up newspaper?

00:26:53.000 Where?

00:26:54.000 Scroll up a little bit.

00:26:55.000 Is that how she spanked Trump with a rolled up magazine? 1.00

00:26:59.000 Naughty Donald!

00:27:00.000 Naughty Naughty!

00:27:03.000 I don't believe it, to be completely honest.

00:27:04.000 Yes, that's crazy.

00:27:06.000 Weren't some people claiming that this was like an extortion scheme?

00:27:09.000 That she basically knew she could make this claim, she could make up whatever she wanted, and Trump would be forced to pay?

00:27:14.000 Of course Trump spanked her with the rolled-up raising. 0.98

00:27:17.000 So you're on Trump's side, I see.

00:27:19.000 I don't believe any of it.

00:27:20.000 Part of it is that this had been a rumor for a little while, like E!

00:27:24.000 News had reported on it, whatever else.

00:27:27.000 And then right at the last moment, she was like, yes, there's actually a story.

00:27:31.000 And she has since both recanted, been like, no, that wasn't true.

00:27:34.000 And then been like, no, just kidding.

00:27:36.000 It was true. 0.75

00:27:37.000 Like, so I just don't think she has a good history.

00:27:39.000 Are you saying that you don't believe they had sex?

00:27:41.000 Is that what you guys?

00:27:42.000 Yeah, I don't even believe that.

00:27:43.000 Really?

00:27:43.000 Yeah, I buy that.

00:27:44.000 I do.

00:27:45.000 I don't.

00:27:46.000 What's the evidence they did?

00:27:47.000 I don't- there's no evidence.

00:27:49.000 I just think that, you know, Donald Trump likes- Then I defer towards- Blonde chicks. 0.90

00:27:53.000 There's not even a preponderance of evidence that Trump did.

00:27:56.000 This is- my opinion is not based on any evidence at all. 0.69

00:27:59.000 Except for other than Donald Trump likes chicks. 0.96

00:28:02.000 You just think he's a playboy. 0.96

00:28:04.000 Right.

00:28:04.000 I think if you were to claim like- They were seen together and leaving together and got in a car together.

00:28:09.000 The car pulled up somewhere.

00:28:10.000 They walked in the hotel together.

00:28:12.000 It's like, oh, sounds like that might have happened.

00:28:14.000 But in this instance, I don't even know if there's any evidence that they actually were alone together.

00:28:17.000 There's like a picture of them.

00:28:18.000 It's the same thing with the woman 30 years ago who's like Trump manifested at the Bergdorf.

00:28:23.000 I didn't think that Trump denied being with Storygainers. 1.00

00:28:27.000 He did deny it.

00:28:27.000 She owes him hundreds of thousands of dollars over all this stuff.

00:28:30.000 I thought the denial was about paying.

00:28:32.000 I didn't think the denial was about having sex, being together.

00:28:35.000 No, he's always denied it.

00:28:36.000 He's always said it wasn't true at all.

00:28:37.000 They're just rolling out, I think, every salacious possible thing that will just hit headlines.

00:28:41.000 It's not even about whether it's true or not.

00:28:43.000 I mean, the Steele dossier, it was all fake.

00:28:45.000 That was all made up.

00:28:46.000 It was only to be, you know, salacious and involved, you know, urine.

00:28:49.000 Oh, whoa, you know?

00:28:50.000 So I think this is just another example of that.

00:28:52.000 And from what I know about this testimony, towards the end, his attorneys were like, this doesn't have anything to do with anything.

00:28:58.000 We deserve a mistrial.

00:28:59.000 Judd said no.

00:29:00.000 But also, ultimately, Stormy Daniels, they were like, so you got these payments from Michael Cohen?

00:29:05.000 And she was like, yes.

00:29:06.000 And they were like, did Donald Trump have anything to do with it?

00:29:09.000 She's like, I assume he did.

00:29:11.000 She can't even say definitively that Trump was the one okaying this money.

00:29:15.000 No one can say anything.

00:29:17.000 This is what I hate about this case, which is the prosecution can walk it all the way to Michael Cohen, but they cannot definitively link Trump.

00:29:25.000 But they're still like, but election interference.

00:29:27.000 But even if they do link him, there's still no crime.

00:29:30.000 Yeah, it doesn't seem bad, especially since this, like, catch and kill, like, don't let the story out, it had been a rumor for a long time.

00:29:38.000 Not a crime.

00:29:38.000 You know, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

00:29:40.000 What I heard today, I think it was on NBC, was like, well, the Trump campaign thought that his campaign could not withstand another sex scandal in the wake of the state.

00:29:53.000 I don't think you understand the Trump campaign.

00:29:55.000 Right, right.

00:29:57.000 How dare you?

00:29:58.000 How dare you?

00:29:59.000 It makes me think about the, you know, absurdities of the news stories with Bill Clinton, right?

00:30:03.000 Which, there's actually really stuff going on there, right?

00:30:07.000 And, but the left, they don't care, right?

00:30:09.000 But here, no, and by the way, the left will defend the most outrageous Forms of degeneracy, shall we say.

00:30:17.000 That's all okay.

00:30:18.000 But if somebody might have done something with a woman, which we don't even know, who is of loose morals, that's now like the giant. 0.54

00:30:26.000 So it's basically nothing to do with what's consistent.

00:30:28.000 It's all power plays.

00:30:29.000 It's all oppression.

00:30:30.000 I think it is patently absurd to accuse Trump of such a thing.

00:30:33.000 As we know, he is a strong religious family man who would never do anything untoward.

00:30:36.000 Never.

00:30:39.000 To any of his three wives. 0.95

00:30:42.000 Yeah, I don't think that Trump is necessarily a saint all the time, but because she has been so ridiculous with her story going back and forth, it does not make me believe this, you know? 0.92

00:30:52.000 It doesn't make me think that they had an affair.

00:30:53.000 I think always this was sort of a payday for her, especially because she came after a different model who had also been like, I also had an affair, and then Stormy Dunst was like, me too, as it turns out.

00:31:03.000 That's another thing.

00:31:04.000 I never thought of it as, like, an affair.

00:31:06.000 I thought they were just, like, they just had sex.

00:31:08.000 Like, I thought it was more like, you know, she was an adult performer, and he was like, you know, how much do you get for an adult performance?

00:31:15.000 Would you do an adult performance with me?

00:31:17.000 That's what my impression was.

00:31:18.000 I don't know that it was a deeply romantic accusation that Stormy Daniel made, but the idea is that he didn't pay her for it.

00:31:25.000 He just, she is saying they just had sex on multiple occasions.

00:31:27.000 I think this, with Stormy Daniels, kind of exposes what's really going on.

00:31:31.000 They're trying to use this opportunity to make up things that can't be disproven to embarrass and insult Trump.

00:31:37.000 She's saying things like, it was brief, and I didn't even know it was happening, and here's how my leg was, just trying to attack the integrity of Trump.

00:31:45.000 Also, by the way, I wasn't, I'm going from memory here, I might not be remembering perfectly, but wasn't she connected to the NXIVM cult?

00:31:51.000 And the NXIVM cult had a very, they were getting money from the Dems, I'm pretty sure.

00:31:54.000 I don't know anything about that.

00:31:55.000 I thought that was the other blonde girl. 1.00

00:31:58.000 Well, isn't she branded? 0.98

00:32:01.000 Or am I mixing her up with someone else?

00:32:03.000 I think you're mixing her up with that other girl.

00:32:05.000 That like actress. 1.00

00:32:07.000 I think, okay, so when I was driving over and PR was reporting on the estate, clips from the trial of Stormy Daniels, they're quoting her saying like, oh, you know, I was sober, but when we had this encounter, I blacked out and da da da.

00:32:18.000 Like what I think they're trying to do is continue this narrative that he is like some terrible monster who abuses women, building off these like allegations that EJ and Carol brought forward. 0.90

00:32:27.000 Which are also ridiculous. 0.97

00:32:30.000 To continue this narrative of, like, he is a dangerous predator and you cannot have him anywhere near the White House because all of these cases are starting to fall apart. 0.90

00:32:40.000 Again, like I said, it's very hard for me to get past the fact that she owes Trump money, she has confessed to it, and then recanted.

00:32:46.000 Like, I just don't think she is a credible witness.

00:32:49.000 So this is interesting to say the defense saw their moment after lunch asking the judge for a mistrial on the grounds that her testimony had raised all sorts of extra questions in the jurors' minds.

00:32:58.000 Quote, this is the kind of testimony that makes it impossible to come back from, said defense lawyer Todd Blanche.

00:33:02.000 How can we come back from this in a way that's fair to President Trump?

00:33:06.000 There was no need for her to mention that Trump did not wear a condom, other than to inflame the jury.

00:33:11.000 Merchant ruled there was no mistrial, but the defense did have a point, he added.

00:33:14.000 There were several things that would have been better left unsaid, he said.

00:33:19.000 In fact, he added that he had raised his own objection when the defense had failed to intervene.

00:33:23.000 In fairness to the prosecution, I think the witness was a little difficult to control, he said.

00:33:27.000 That might be the only thing that he and Trump, who has been a disgruntled defendant from day one, would ever agree on.

00:33:35.000 I think, Stormy, they're saying it's going to take, what, like another two weeks to conclude the prosecution's case.

00:33:41.000 And then we have to go through defense arguments.

00:33:43.000 In which they have not once shown what the crime is or done anything other than waste Trump's time and try to embarrass him.

00:33:51.000 Yeah, I'm not sure what the actual, like, this is for sexual assault?

00:33:55.000 No, it's for falsifying business documents.

00:33:58.000 In furtherance of a crime they've not outlined.

00:34:01.000 And they don't have to, apparently.

00:34:02.000 They've claimed it's election interference, but a New York state election law has jurisdiction only over state elections, nothing federal.

00:34:10.000 So they're contorting this in a way that makes literally no sense.

00:34:14.000 I think the goal is they want Trump's – I think they may just think The longer Trump's name is in the news, in court for a crime related to sex, the more that makes him look bad.

00:34:27.000 Right.

00:34:27.000 I don't know that it's doing anything, to be completely honest.

00:34:30.000 I don't think so.

00:34:30.000 I don't think so at all, to be honest.

00:34:31.000 I think at this point, people would vote for a ham sandwich over Joe Biden.

00:34:35.000 And that's something Democrats are in trouble with. 0.98

00:34:35.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:34:37.000 All Trump's gotta do is come out and just say, it was the best spanking ever, it was a great spanking, I'm gonna make spanking great again! 0.59

00:34:43.000 And it's over. 0.93

00:34:44.000 The spanking was good! 0.99

00:34:45.000 It was the best ever! 0.96

00:34:47.000 Crazy Joe was getting spanked! 1.00

00:34:48.000 She was very satisfied, so I didn't have to pay her.

00:34:52.000 I mean, look, I honestly think people would still vote for Trump.

00:34:56.000 He has such a serious base.

00:34:58.000 And furthermore, Biden is so bad at being president that even if Trump did cheat on one of his wives with this tour of the Daniels or whatever, you know, I think people would forgive that for him.

00:35:10.000 Biden is bad at existing, and he makes everyone's life difficult.

00:35:13.000 This happened a long time ago.

00:35:14.000 I don't even believe it happened.

00:35:16.000 And also, please don't put Biden back in the White House.

00:35:18.000 I think everyone, even people who are on the fence, like, this isn't something that's going to converge him, which is why her testimony that, like, implying there was some sort of power issue is what they're trying to do to scare female voters, like, into supporting her.

00:35:30.000 It would be cool if you were right, or if I agreed with you, but I really don't think that- Of course you agree with me, you always agree with me.

00:35:35.000 I don't, I don't.

00:35:37.000 And the reason I don't agree with you is because I don't agree with you that Biden is so vulnerable, I guess is the thing.

00:35:43.000 Just because of the Democrats' ballot collection and organization and groundwork.

00:35:52.000 I really think 2020 gave the Democrats, they set it up so that way the ballot harvesting Procedure was something that they, they capitalized on.

00:36:02.000 And I think that they've really got the lock on that.

00:36:05.000 And I think that the Republican, that's the thing that the Republicans have to worry about.

00:36:09.000 It's not so much about whether or not people like Donald Trump or Joe Biden more, it's whether or not they're going to be able to collect the votes.

00:36:15.000 Right.

00:36:16.000 Getting the paper in the basket.

00:36:17.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:36:18.000 I think at this point, or I should say, I think it's fair to say that you walk up to a random person and you ask them honestly, You know, if it came down to it, you have two presidents, one who's gonna get you paid but is a dick, and one who is a moron and won't get you paid, we know what they're gonna say. 0.99

00:36:40.000 If you go to the average person and ask them, what do you care more about? 0.99

00:36:42.000 A president with good demeanor and honor and integrity?

00:36:46.000 Or a president who might be the worst human being who craps all over the floor, but he puts a hundred bucks in your pocket?

00:36:52.000 Done. 1.00

00:36:53.000 It's the economy, stupid. 1.00

00:36:55.000 And we can take that one step further. 1.00

00:36:56.000 That was, uh, uh, who was it?

00:36:57.000 Carville who said that?

00:36:59.000 No, no, no.

00:37:00.000 Was it Carville? 1.00

00:37:01.000 It's the economy, stupid? 1.00

00:37:02.000 I think it was Carville, yeah. 1.00

00:37:03.000 I feel like it kind of wasn't, but maybe it was.

00:37:06.000 Was he referring to somebody else?

00:37:07.000 I'm going to Google it right now. 1.00

00:37:07.000 Yeah, it's the economy, stupid. 1.00

00:37:10.000 I kind of feel like you can take it one step further and it's just greed. 1.00

00:37:15.000 And I think some people think of greed in the worst possible terms.

00:37:21.000 People think of the word greed in the worst possible terms.

00:37:24.000 I'm saying the desire to improve one's personal life, the lives of their family, and the lives of their friends.

00:37:31.000 And that means if Donald Trump comes out and says, John Smith, he's 36, he lives in Dubuque, Iowa, we're gonna send you a million dollars!

00:37:39.000 That guy's like, I'm voting for Trump.

00:37:41.000 That's called rational choice theory, and Rand Corporation studied that to make that their selling point in the Cold War.

00:37:48.000 That what sometimes is called greed is just rational self-interest.

00:37:52.000 Right.

00:37:53.000 So, absolutely.

00:37:54.000 Yeah, I think if, you know, I say greed, but there's varying degrees.

00:37:59.000 I would say that, like, the extreme version of greed is someone, to the detriment of everyone around them, siphons away resources watching someone starve or something like that.

00:38:07.000 But for the most part, rational self-interest is a good way to put it.

00:38:10.000 So this is why Joe Biden is paying off student loan debt, illegally, in violation of basically every branch, the all other branch of government.

00:38:18.000 He's bribing.

00:38:19.000 He's bribing these voters.

00:38:21.000 And you know what I think Biden's doing with this?

00:38:24.000 He's canceling, you know, he's doing it slowly. He didn't just do a blanket. Okay, we've just

00:38:29.000 forgiven all that. He's doing it slowly. Now the Art Institute is canceled. Why?

00:38:34.000 What they're hoping for is come November 4th, the Democrats are going to say,

00:38:38.000 look, Biden's already canceled 30 percent of debt.

00:38:42.000 I know you've got debt.

00:38:43.000 If he doesn't win, they're not going to cancel your debt.

00:38:45.000 You could get $40,000 today if you simply vote for Joe Biden, enter our sweepstakes called Vote Democrat, and maybe you could be a lucky winner.

00:38:53.000 That's what they're doing.

00:38:55.000 It's a version of a chicken in every pot.

00:38:57.000 from like FDR period. Chicken in every pot. But Biden's student loan forgiveness has been held

00:39:03.000 up in court for a long time. I mean, it's not like he's just like, no more loans, bye guys.

00:39:08.000 It's a huge bureaucratic issue. A lot of people object, a lot of states object to how it's being

00:39:13.000 rolled out. So he is getting the headlines. Oh, I forgave your student loans.

00:39:18.000 But the reality is that it's not as widespread as the Biden administration would like it to be.

00:39:24.000 And on top of that, you know, there's reports out that 18 to 24 year olds have higher credit card debt than generations or the same age group in years previously.

00:39:34.000 The weight of the economic burden that I feel like the Biden administration has inflicted on the people is sort of inescapable.

00:39:41.000 He's not gonna be able to forgive enough loans and actually see the loans forgiven before the election to make that compelling enough for everybody, I think.

00:39:48.000 So now the big piece of this story, moving forward, Axios reports Trump's threat of being jailed suddenly gets real.

00:39:56.000 The Secret Service has been having meetings about the high probability that Trump is going to be held in contempt and sent to jail.

00:40:05.000 And this is a game of chicken that I think Trump is intentionally playing.

00:40:08.000 He played the card I hoped he was going to play in that the Constitution is more important and I'd be willing to make that sacrifice.

00:40:16.000 That's what he said when he was walking into the court.

00:40:18.000 He'd be willing to make that sacrifice for the Constitution.

00:40:21.000 And I'm like, I'm not so sure insulting a porn star constitutes defending the Constitution, but the point he's making is stronger than the reality of what's happening in that courtroom.

00:40:32.000 And that is the judge is silencing his ability to speak during a campaign And he reserves the right to campaign and stand for his First Amendment rights, no matter how silly and absurd it may be, even if it means he goes to jail.

00:40:45.000 But I think Trump's bet is they won't do it.

00:40:48.000 And he makes the court look impotent by continuing to piss them off, knowing that if they put him in jail, it could actually bump him up in the polls quite a bit.

00:40:58.000 How do you think Trump going to jail would react?

00:41:01.000 I think it would be like the greatest, like, Publicity event of all time and that he would totally

00:41:08.000 It would be awesome.

00:41:10.000 I'm serious.

00:41:11.000 It would be total... But why doesn't he... He could have gone to the Supreme Court oral arguments.

00:41:18.000 I understand the legal team's statements they've made.

00:41:22.000 They didn't want Trump to go because it would have made the arguments about Trump, and they wanted it to remain about the broad presidency instead, which is better for Trump.

00:41:30.000 But certainly Trump could take actions that would expedite his path towards imprisonment.

00:41:38.000 I think he can't look like he's intentionally trying to aggravate the judge, right?

00:41:46.000 Or intentionally trying to go to jail.

00:41:47.000 Right.

00:41:48.000 He has to be the martyr, which he's already set himself up for.

00:41:53.000 His typical conduct is being held against him while, again, Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels are being allowed to talk about the case on social media in a way that hurts him.

00:42:05.000 And I think that was what resonates with the American voters, this idea that the judicial system is not actually to protect anybody.

00:42:11.000 It's actually to silence some people as they try to advocate for themselves.

00:42:14.000 I think that message really resonates with a lot of Americans.

00:42:18.000 And it's enough to say like, hey, this is not OK.

00:42:21.000 I also think that, you know, Look, when he had to go down and get his mug shot, and they immediately released those t-shirts?

00:42:27.000 Yeah, I was gonna say the t-shirts.

00:42:29.000 The fundraising on this alone would be incredible.

00:42:31.000 That's what the Democrats are really afraid of, because they saw the reaction for the mug shot, and you know if he goes to jail it's gonna be a similar thing, and it'll probably be significantly more intense.

00:42:46.000 Do you think they regret bringing this criminal case against Trump?

00:42:50.000 Kind of, yeah, I do.

00:42:52.000 I kind of think so.

00:42:54.000 I think where we are right now, they're trapped in this position where they're thinking like, we really shouldn't have done this, but we have no path forward.

00:43:02.000 I think that if it wasn't for the fact that everything has gone so badly for this administration, so the international stuff, the economy, things have not gone the way that the Biden administration would have liked, and I think that If it wasn't for that fact, if things had gone better for the Biden administration, they'd be much more comfortable about what's going on with Trump.

00:43:23.000 But I think because of the significant failures of the Biden administration in the eyes of most Americans, I think that they're really not happy about the fact that where things are because of the administration's results.

00:43:42.000 You know, I think it all again comes down to Alvin Bragg, because if I'm remembering correctly, and I'll fact check myself on this in a second, multiple offices have been like, no, don't bring this case.

00:43:53.000 It's not strong enough.

00:43:54.000 And, you know, occasionally this gets presented as like, oh, well, when Trump was presidency, they didn't want to bring this against him because they're protecting him.

00:44:00.000 But if I'm remembering correctly, Alvin Bragg, when he was the head of the district attorney's office, also turned down the case initially.

00:44:06.000 So the idea that like as the last minute when they're stacking all these cases against and they're like and we'll just throw this one on too.

00:44:12.000 I almost wonder if they thought they would have Trump imprisoned by now and that this wouldn't matter as much.

00:44:18.000 I feel like there's an overlooked element that a lot of this domain is a bunch of boomers and they don't understand the internet and they don't understand like people watching this stuff and the Streisand effect and that it doesn't work and they just keep doubling down.

00:44:31.000 Whether it's Ukraine or whatever, people keep doubling down on these things from the establishment, from the system, and they just don't understand why it's not working.

00:44:39.000 I don't want to change the subject, but there was a clip of a big graduating class at a university, and somebody in the speech mentioned Bitcoin.

00:44:48.000 The entire graduating class, the whole university, basically booed the guy.

00:44:52.000 And I'm like, so the university system is basically churning out these completely brainwashed people.

00:44:58.000 They have no idea what's really going on.

00:44:59.000 There's this whole other subset of people on the internet, on Twitter, on X, that know what's going on.

00:45:04.000 It's anything that happens goes viral.

00:45:06.000 Tucker does a show, you do a show, whatever, it goes massively viral.

00:45:09.000 So people really know what's going on and it's like this totally, it's like you're either really awake or you're totally asleep.

00:45:14.000 And this system represents all of these super asleep people who are basically boomers, have no idea what's going on.

00:45:20.000 Do you think anyone who's asleep looks at this trial and says, like, yeah, Trump's not getting a fair shake?

00:45:25.000 Like, is there a chance that non-politically engaged people are getting a negative impression of New York State as opposed to Trump right now?

00:45:32.000 No, I think anybody who still is locked into that mode of thinking is pretty much there for the long haul.

00:45:40.000 I think the jurors are pissed off.

00:45:42.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:45:42.000 Can you imagine being a juror on the stupid trial? 1.00

00:45:44.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:45:45.000 Because every day, at least in the news media, they're like, so a star witness is coming today, and they're just gonna,

00:45:50.000 you know, this is gonna be great for the prosecution.

00:45:52.000 And by the end of the day, it's always like, they couldn't quite make that connection that the prosecution wanted.

00:45:57.000 Like, you must be so bored as a juror right now.

00:45:59.000 I kind of feel like if I was in a jury, let's say like, you know, is the case of John Doe and Jane Doe, and here's the

00:46:06.000 crime.

00:46:07.000 You know, payments were being made, it's business.

00:46:09.000 I was like, I... And they asked me, like, can you be impartial?

00:46:11.000 I'm like, yeah, I don't know anything about these people.

00:46:13.000 And then some woman comes on the stand and she's yelling about all this weird sex stuff. 1.00

00:46:18.000 I, as a juror, would probably complain to the judge.

00:46:20.000 And I'd be like, we've been here for how many weeks now?

00:46:23.000 They've not presented everything?

00:46:25.000 This is not my civic duty to sit here and listen to the incoherent ramblings of some sex worker.

00:46:33.000 What is this?

00:46:34.000 I have a job, I have a life to get back to.

00:46:36.000 I wouldn't be surprised if behind the scenes the jurors are actually getting pissed.

00:46:39.000 There were reports already that jurors are yawning and they're looking around the room, they're not paying attention, some are falling asleep.

00:46:45.000 Boring.

00:46:46.000 They're like, so did you sign this thing for accounts payable?

00:46:50.000 It's like talking about, you know, your checkbook and accounts every day.

00:46:54.000 Like, it's not a murder trial where it's like motivations and passions and this thing there.

00:46:58.000 And by the way, there are murder trials that have taken less time than this month-long You know, this will probably go eight weeks at this rate.

00:47:05.000 And I just can't imagine that it's compelling to the jury when it's always comes down to this thing of like, well, I knew Michael Cohen was getting a payment.

00:47:13.000 I didn't know what it was for.

00:47:14.000 I can't connect it to Trump or any motivation.

00:47:17.000 I mean, you look at the the premise was was bad in the beginning.

00:47:22.000 It was all motivated reasoning.

00:47:23.000 It was all people that had a an emotional desire to get Trump.

00:47:29.000 And I think that goes this goes Probably is accurate for all of the the the accusations against Trump.

00:47:38.000 They're all like brought by people that have some kind of you know that have some kind something to some way to benefit even if it's just their own career because they got Trump and stuff and I think that they got out ahead of their skis because of that emotional, you know desire to be the person that got Trump and now they're in a position where Again, like the administration has not performed the way

00:48:01.000 that they wanted to.

00:48:02.000 The policies that they have enacted have not had the same results that they had hoped for.

00:48:08.000 And the American people are noticing and now you've got all these things that Trump is

00:48:13.000 fighting in court and they're all kind of falling apart.

00:48:17.000 The American people are not on the side of the prosecution.

00:48:20.000 Generally, Trump is looked at as somewhat sympathetic because people do have the sense

00:48:26.000 that the government is kind of overbearing and poking at him for stuff that they have

00:48:31.000 let other people off for.

00:48:33.000 Everyone kind of has that sense.

00:48:34.000 It's like, you know, all the stuff about Biden with the top secret documents in his garage, etc.

00:48:42.000 All that stuff.

00:48:42.000 This isn't nothing that Donald Trump is accused of is unique to Donald Trump.

00:48:48.000 It's all stuff that other politicians and people in positions of power have done and stuff.

00:48:51.000 So it's not like, oh, this guy is this unique evil that we have to defend against.

00:48:56.000 And I think the American people see through that.

00:48:58.000 He's, like, become more relatable as the trial's gone on?

00:49:01.000 I think so.

00:49:02.000 That's interesting.

00:49:03.000 I think that is always the thing that they used to try to contrast Joe Biden and Trump.

00:49:09.000 You know, Joe Biden's this nice guy.

00:49:10.000 He grew up in Scranton, and he's from a big Catholic family.

00:49:13.000 And Trump is this wealthy, you know, he was born wealthy, became even wealthier, always uses privilege against you.

00:49:18.000 And I think in this case, the fact that you're having so many trials go against him, people start to be like, He's just this guy who government's going after, and that could really be any of us.

00:49:27.000 I gotta give Trump credit.

00:49:29.000 I mean, the stories I hear about him, from what I've seen of him at rallies and seen of him at Mar-a-Lago just recently, first time meeting him, he is one of the nicest guys I've ever seen.

00:49:41.000 I mean, here's a guy who, after almost every rally, walks down off the stage, up to the barricades where his fans are, and he sits there and talks for 15, 20 minutes to all these people shaking their hands, signing their hats.

00:49:53.000 Here's a guy, I told this story when I was at Mar-a-Lago, he's late, he's walking out, there's guests at Mar-a-Lago, and the guy sitting next to me says, Mr. President, can I get a photo?

00:50:02.000 And he goes, do you have to?

00:50:04.000 All right, come on, I'm so late.

00:50:05.000 And I'm like, I've never seen this guy let one of his fans down.

00:50:09.000 I've never seen it happen. And I'm like, that's energy.

00:50:12.000 That's, that's, that's insanely difficult.

00:50:15.000 And the way he handles his security around his rallies and his fans, he makes sure to let his

00:50:22.000 fans have his time of his time. And he gives them the time of day. I can't, there's a lot of people

00:50:28.000 who are very nice. And I can't say I have the time and energy that Trump does to deal with things

00:50:33.000 You know, we wrap up a show, everybody comes up, I try to talk to as many people as possible, and then it's like, look, we gotta go, we're busy, and I'm like, sorry everybody, I gotta go.

00:50:39.000 Trump stays.

00:50:41.000 I'm like, that guy's gotta be on a plane, he's gotta fly to the next city, and he sticks around.

00:50:45.000 I think he genuinely really loves, really, really loves the attention and the people loving him.

00:50:52.000 And I don't think that's a bad thing.

00:50:53.000 They try to insult him over it.

00:50:54.000 But that means, as a president, the only thing he really cares about is that you, the American population, the American citizen, love the guy.

00:51:03.000 And we make fun of him back in 2015, 16, 17, 18, all the time, for he's the guy who puts his name in big gold letters on buildings.

00:51:09.000 He wants everybody to love him.

00:51:11.000 That's a good thing for a president to have.

00:51:14.000 You want to call it some kind of personality disorder where they're desperately in need of attention from other people?

00:51:19.000 I'd love it if we had a president who was like, I cannot let the American people down.

00:51:24.000 They have to like me.

00:51:25.000 What do I do to make them like me?

00:51:27.000 Good!

00:51:28.000 We're sick and tired of the president going, the corporations have to like me.

00:51:31.000 How do I get the lobby groups to like me?

00:51:34.000 I need their money.

00:51:35.000 Trump was like, no, I want, Trump's the kind of guy who wants to walk down the street and have people be like, we love you, Trump.

00:51:40.000 And then he signs a hat for him.

00:51:41.000 That's what he, that's what he loves.

00:51:43.000 He wants every day to be that time he went to that one Chick-fil-A, and they're all like, hey, so great to see you!

00:51:48.000 When he brings the pizzas to the fire department, he does that because everybody loves pizza!

00:51:53.000 And he's like, they're going to be so happy to see me.

00:51:56.000 I wonder what does that for someone like Trump?

00:51:58.000 What happened in his life to where he developed that need to make people happy?

00:52:05.000 To have them express public gratitude for him.

00:52:09.000 And the feeling that I got when I saw him give this guy like, hey, I'll get a photo with you.

00:52:13.000 I was like, it really does feel like he's just working for the people.

00:52:17.000 It feels more like he's here to help you.

00:52:21.000 I don't know about always.

00:52:22.000 I don't know about every time he's ever interacted with anybody.

00:52:25.000 Just from what I've seen at rallies, there's like some random person.

00:52:28.000 I'm like, Mr. President, can I talk to you?

00:52:29.000 He goes, you got it.

00:52:30.000 And I'm like, he acts like he's working for the people.

00:52:35.000 That's how it seems when you watch him.

00:52:37.000 But you go to any one of his businesses, and I challenge anyone who says a bad word of Trump and doesn't believe he's a good dude, go to any one of his businesses and ask his employees.

00:52:45.000 You will not find a single employee who dislikes the guy.

00:52:48.000 You know why?

00:52:49.000 He shows up, he pats him on the back, he compliments him, and hands him a $100 bill.

00:52:54.000 That's how Trump treats his employees.

00:52:56.000 There's a lot of companies that they show up, they insult their employees, they complain about them, and then fire them the next day.

00:53:03.000 But Trump famously lines up, he's like, everybody come together around, come over here, everybody get together, and then he pulls out a wad of cash and he starts handing out $100 bills to all of his staff.

00:53:11.000 He doesn't need to do that.

00:53:13.000 He just loves it.

00:53:15.000 I feel like the, I mean, anybody who has criticisms of Trump, I mean, if you put this into perspective, Like Joe Biden's policies and everything that Biden, it's like an intentional destruction of the country.

00:53:28.000 It's crazy. 0.84

00:53:29.000 Like everything that's happened in the last three years is like the country's going to crap. 0.98

00:53:35.000 Right. 0.63

00:53:36.000 I mean, I think inflation, border, all that stuff.

00:53:39.000 So there's really no options if you're going to be voting.

00:53:43.000 Like there's, there's just not even any option.

00:53:44.000 You have to vote for Trump.

00:53:45.000 There's no.

00:53:46.000 Yeah.

00:53:46.000 What are you going to do?

00:53:48.000 I mean, I read an article today about Cloward and Piven.

00:53:53.000 That makes more sense as to what's going on.

00:53:55.000 Do you want to break this down?

00:53:56.000 It's just basically a strategy that these two people, these weird communist boomers, they came up with this idea that you could stress the economy through all kinds of government policies, all kinds of basically socialist type policies, and then other means that I won't mention that that would then overwhelm the ability of the system to function and then it would collapse and then oh then we would get some sort of proletariat or some sort of uprising or whatever. 0.67

00:54:27.000 So this is Wikipedia.

00:54:28.000 I got it pulled up right here actually.

00:54:29.000 I don't know if you want to read it.

00:54:30.000 Yeah it says the Cloward-Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologist and political activist Richard Clowar and Francis Fox Piven.

00:54:40.000 The strategy aims to utilize militant anti-poverty groups to facilitate a political crisis by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum incomes and redistributing income through the federal government.

00:54:58.000 So essentially, it's looking to use the safety net that is intended to prevent people from falling into poverty, use that as a means to get people to rely on the government.

00:55:09.000 Check this out.

00:55:10.000 Check this out.

00:55:11.000 Beyond this, what does the guaranteed income do?

00:55:14.000 Why do they want it? 0.81

00:55:15.000 They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare, quote, would produce

00:55:19.000 bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments

00:55:24.000 that would deepen existing divisions among elements in the big city democratic coalition.

00:55:28.000 The remaining white middle class, the working class ethnic groups and the growing minority

00:55:32.000 poor to avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national democratic

00:55:36.000 administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override

00:55:41.000 local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas.

00:55:47.000 It's basically sounds like they're saying we want universal basic income to blow the

00:55:51.000 whole thing up.

00:55:52.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:55:52.000 Exactly.

00:55:54.000 That's exactly what the point is.

00:55:55.000 Because one of the things that UBI does is it removes the association of effort with the reward of payment.

00:56:04.000 So it's actually taking out the working part of working for a living.

00:56:09.000 So you're just being provided with something and it puts people in a position where they rely on that.

00:56:16.000 They don't have the ability to produce anything to sustain themselves.

00:56:24.000 Absolutely.

00:56:24.000 they rely on it and then you end up trapping people.

00:56:27.000 Absolutely.

00:56:28.000 Which is the exact argument that conservatives and libertarians have against any welfare

00:56:33.000 program.

00:56:34.000 You create a client class, a group of people that are reliant on that.

00:56:41.000 And it becomes generational as well.

00:56:43.000 It frequently becomes generational.

00:56:44.000 So you end up creating this group of people that are, that are going to be dependent, not just on, you know, that just not, not for them, but for their, their generations and stuff.

00:56:54.000 And you can't get rid of it.

00:56:55.000 The difference here though, I think that makes it a little bit more intense is that this can be turned into something that's an actual weapon to destroy the existence, the existing system.

00:57:05.000 So it's like blow it up from within using the means of the system.

00:57:08.000 And that means if, if this is, The operating plan of what's really going on, then it's not just incompetency that's running the government.

00:57:15.000 There's actually a more cunning strategy at work, I think, to maybe even destroy the country.

00:57:19.000 It's malintention, right?

00:57:21.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:57:22.000 Do you think this is something that the average voter would pick up on?

00:57:27.000 No.

00:57:27.000 Or would they be too caught up?

00:57:29.000 I mean, that's why I think this concern about the economy is so real, right?

00:57:31.000 If you are desperate, if you are trying to make ends meet and pay your bills, feed your children, perhaps.

00:57:40.000 Hearing, well, you could get relief through a universal basic income or, you know, something else.

00:57:44.000 Chicken in the pot, another version of, yeah, absolutely.

00:57:47.000 But this is like, they know that there's not what they're doing.

00:57:51.000 There's not the ability to actually give everybody a chicken in the pot.

00:57:53.000 It destroys things.

00:57:54.000 And then they can come along later going back to the coon pod issue and say, well, look, uh, I mean, I think Klaus even said something like this.

00:58:01.000 He said, is this an angrier world?

00:58:03.000 We know you're angry.

00:58:05.000 And then he offers a solution down the road of the technocratic agenda.

00:58:09.000 So there's a really great article at technocracy.news today.

00:58:12.000 But can you wake people up from this?

00:58:13.000 Could you convince people that this is not the promise that they think it is?

00:58:18.000 Cloudward and Pippin strategy actually leads to the solutions that technocracy will offer

00:58:24.000 to UBI and so forth to solve this. But can you wake people up from this?

00:58:28.000 Like, could you convince people that this is not the promise that they think it is?

00:58:32.000 Probably not. That's the challenge, is getting people to understand that.

00:58:40.000 I don't know that you can.

00:58:41.000 I mean, you go to a person, and as we talked about earlier in the show with rational self-interest, and you say, a vote for me is a vote for cash in your pocket.

00:58:50.000 They'll vote for you.

00:58:52.000 That's it.

00:58:52.000 That's the game that Biden is playing right now with paying off student loan debt.

00:58:56.000 And there's this viral video that I can't, I think libs of TikTok may have posted it where

00:59:00.000 someone saying, and this is a mixed bag, this, this person, they're talking about how they took out

00:59:05.000 $34,000 in loans and it's been 20 years or, or, you know, I think it's been, they said it was 20

00:59:11.000 years, 15 years, maybe they've paid back something like $60,000 and they still owe $11,000. And I'm

00:59:20.000 like, yeah, that's also a predatory system that needs to be dismantled and destroyed.

00:59:25.000 This idea that you borrow 34 grand and they gotta pay back double that is insane.

00:59:30.000 But then they said, when Biden paid my loan back, it's a closed box.

00:59:34.000 No taxpayer was harmed by this.

00:59:36.000 And it's like, In this particular instance, I will give you, you spent more than your loan was.

00:59:43.000 But there are many people who did not pay back their loans, or a greater sum of their loans, and they were given free money.

00:59:51.000 This means at the time, money was created upon the issuance of debt to fund these universities, and your rent, and your food, without labor going into the market, creating inflation.

01:00:01.000 Driving prices up as you pull resources from the economy without putting anything back in.

01:00:07.000 Then when they cancel those loans without you putting money back in, or labor back in, the inflation sticks.

01:00:13.000 That's the point.

01:00:14.000 The point at which the Biden administration cancels the debt is when the money supply, and then all of a sudden we get hit by that because it's going to be a massive... Now, it's a massive increase of money supply without an increase of labor.

01:00:27.000 That being said, I actually do agree with First, getting rid of the college loan system, and then forgiveness for people who've already paid beyond their principle, and a suspension of interest rates.

01:00:40.000 But the idea that there are a lot of people posting like, I owe 20 grand, now it's all gone.

01:00:44.000 And it's like, they're like, I graduated two years ago.

01:00:46.000 And I'm like, okay, that's insane.

01:00:49.000 Some people are getting their loans paid back, and they have not paid back what they were given.

01:00:54.000 Right.

01:00:55.000 And we're still issuing federally backed student loans.

01:00:58.000 Like if the system is so broken that we're forgiving everyone that we can, why are we still issuing them?

01:01:04.000 By the way, that article is called, is the economic system being destroyed on purpose?

01:01:08.000 It's a really good article.

01:01:09.000 Everybody should read that.

01:01:10.000 I think that's makes a lot more sense as to what's going on.

01:01:13.000 I think that even if it isn't on purpose, I think the lack of effort to actually fix it, uh, It makes whether it's intentional irrelevant, right?

01:01:27.000 Because if they're not going to fix it, and they know it's happening, because anyone that looks at unfunded liabilities knows that that's our biggest problem, and that'll destroy the dollar.

01:01:39.000 So if you don't do something to fix that, and continuously multiple Congresses have known about this and not done anything about it, then at some point you have to say, well, at least, even if they aren't intentional, they don't have the intention to do anything to fix it.

01:01:53.000 I think it adds to this dependent class, right? 0.57

01:01:55.000 So you can say, oh, I forgive your loans, but there's always going to be more people who have student loans that are impossible.

01:02:01.000 You can't declare bankruptcy on them.

01:02:02.000 They have crazy high interest rates.

01:02:04.000 You're sending them into an economy that is broken, so it's very difficult for any of them to pay it off.

01:02:08.000 So you always have this promise of you could be like, we'll elect another Democrat or whoever, and we'll forgive your loans.

01:02:15.000 Maintains this idea that there is dependency, there is hope that someone will give you this thing.

01:02:18.000 It's exactly what you're talking about, in my eyes.

01:02:21.000 If they really wanted to stop it, they would stop issuing federally backed student loans.

01:02:24.000 Maybe the only answer is, prepare yourselves.

01:02:27.000 100%.

01:02:29.000 Learn how to survive, make money, save money, buy things.

01:02:32.000 Social Security's only got 10 years.

01:02:34.000 Okay, so if you, right now, there's 10 years left for the solvency of Social Security.

01:02:39.000 So, what?

01:02:42.000 2037.

01:02:43.000 Yeah, so just a little bit over ten years.

01:02:46.000 Yeah, but they can kick the can down the road on that. 1.00

01:02:51.000 They can do things that will kick the can down the road on Social Security.

01:02:55.000 Well, I mean, I don't know what they can do because right now the amount of money that we're spending on the interest is getting to the point where it's eating up such a significant amount of the federal debt.

01:03:09.000 We're spending more money on interest than we are on military.

01:03:13.000 Again, we've talked about this, but people make a big stink about foreign aid and stuff like that.

01:03:17.000 We're spending more money to pay for the interest on the debt than anything else.

01:03:24.000 Yeah, then then the military, you know, we talked about how much money the the US spends more money on the military than any country in history any country on earth and it literally Spends enough money to defend not only America and the seas but most of be the actual muscle behind Europe and still we spend more money on the interest on our debt and than we do on the military.

01:03:49.000 So I don't see how this isn't on everyone's mind and on every congressperson's mind and on the Senate's mind all the time.

01:03:57.000 So we have this story from last year from CNBC.

01:03:59.000 They say that a recent report found that starting in 2034, retirees will only receive part of their benefits.

01:04:06.000 I guess the good news is I will not be retired then and I don't have to worry about it.

01:04:12.000 It's someone else's problem.

01:04:14.000 Everyone should try not to rely on Social Security.

01:04:17.000 You should do your best to not care about it.

01:04:20.000 They're going to increase the tax rate.

01:04:21.000 They're going to do capital gains, wealth tax increases.

01:04:24.000 And so I don't think 2037 is the end.

01:04:28.000 I think 2037 is when they're going to start saying, during the Golden Age we had a 95% income tax.

01:04:33.000 Real austerity is coming.

01:04:34.000 Oh yeah.

01:04:35.000 Oh yeah.

01:04:36.000 But I think they're going to start with going after the ultra-wealthy and saying they're not paying their fair share.

01:04:41.000 You're right.

01:04:42.000 Well, everybody.

01:04:43.000 They're going to say everybody is going to start owing these.

01:04:45.000 They'll probably say something about emergency.

01:04:47.000 Like the national emergency, we have to start taking everybody's Let me see if I can find this tweet.

01:04:59.000 I think it was Unusual Wales.

01:05:00.000 They pointed out, I'll try and find it, that a large portion of income tax increases targeted people.

01:05:07.000 Here we go.

01:05:09.000 63% of new audits as of summer 2023 targeted taxpayers with income of less than $200,000.

01:05:15.000 We knew that was the case when the Biden administration said, what, 86,000 new IRS agents?

01:05:21.000 They don't need 86,000 IRS agents for the 10,000 millionaires that exist in this country.

01:05:26.000 For everybody.

01:05:27.000 It's for the rest of you.

01:05:29.000 It's because they don't like the fact that you paid your cleaners in cash.

01:05:33.000 They don't like the fact that you gave your buddy 100 bucks because he helped you move one day.

01:05:38.000 Hey, man, that's taxable income right there.

01:05:41.000 And they're going to hunt you down and they're going to extract every penny.

01:05:44.000 Because here's the thing.

01:05:46.000 They don't want to go after the rich people.

01:05:47.000 That was never the plan.

01:05:48.000 When the IRS audits a billionaire, he throws a chunk of million dollars at a lawyer and says, deal with it, tell me what I owe.

01:05:57.000 The lawyers push back, they argue, they go back and forth.

01:05:59.000 The IRS goes, oh, it's so annoying.

01:06:01.000 So anyway, the IRS knows, hey man, the real money is not getting one big investment.

01:06:07.000 The real money is attacking the weak who can't fight back.

01:06:11.000 So what is the IRS doing?

01:06:12.000 The IRS knows that if they send you a letter in the mail that says you owe us a hundred bucks, what are you going to do about it?

01:06:19.000 You're going to hire a lawyer?

01:06:20.000 Yeah, right.

01:06:21.000 They know that you're going to sit there and say it is cheaper to pay the money.

01:06:25.000 That's lawfare, effectively.

01:06:28.000 86,000 IRS agents.

01:06:29.000 This is what it's for.

01:06:30.000 To tax the poor.

01:06:33.000 And you know what?

01:06:34.000 I wonder if that's the real game.

01:06:36.000 Think about how much money they can make if they go after the ultra-wealthy.

01:06:39.000 They can't make that much.

01:06:40.000 Not much.

01:06:41.000 You get a million bucks from a thousand people, congratulations, you got a billion dollars.

01:06:46.000 Is that really going to cover the cost?

01:06:47.000 No.

01:06:47.000 We give more than that in a week to Ukraine.

01:06:49.000 I don't know, literally a week.

01:06:51.000 What are they going to do?

01:06:52.000 They send out a horde of 86,000 IRS agents nickel and diming you at every turn.

01:06:58.000 That's going to be a massive budget surplus for them.

01:07:01.000 And then they can start dumping that into their failed systems and maybe prop up Social Security for a few more years? 0.61

01:07:06.000 Absolutely.

01:07:07.000 By the way, isn't the solution already here?

01:07:09.000 It's Bitcoin.

01:07:09.000 It's the future world reserve currency.

01:07:12.000 Maybe that's the point, or maybe that's the... Look, I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin hits a million bucks a coin, or more.

01:07:19.000 There will be fighting about that.

01:07:22.000 About whether or not Bitcoin will be the world reserve currency.

01:07:25.000 If it happens, it might possibly happen, I'm not saying that it's not possible, but the government will fight that.

01:07:30.000 The United States government will absolutely fight that.

01:07:32.000 They probably won't be alone in that.

01:07:34.000 Here's the issue with Bitcoin.

01:07:36.000 21 million coins is the max.

01:07:38.000 And there's substantially more human beings who need to trade.

01:07:43.000 Assuming Bitcoin does reach global ubiquity, what's the total global buying power?

01:07:51.000 Like, what's the total global GDP?

01:07:54.000 Push that into Bitcoin.

01:07:57.000 And maybe that's unfair to say total global GDP, but maybe it's even 10%.

01:08:02.000 Maybe this becomes the world reserve currency for basic transactions.

01:08:06.000 Other currencies, of course, still exist and trade against Bitcoin, but Bitcoin becomes the principal.

01:08:11.000 That means one Bitcoin could be $100 million or more, if there's only $21 million.

01:08:16.000 And then people are doing trades.

01:08:18.000 Now, I do think In order for Bitcoin, I think its point of pure viability

01:08:23.000 and stabilization is going to be when the lowest denomination of a Bitcoin is comparable to maybe

01:08:30.000 a quarter or a dollar in US terms.

01:08:32.000 Theoretically, a penny, then we could say like 100 sats, as people would say, is a dollar.

01:08:40.000 But a dollar today is fairly weak.

01:08:42.000 The reason is, if the lowest denomination of a bitcoin is equal to like an ounce of gold, you can't sell, you can't trade with it.

01:08:52.000 So it would not have ubiquitous usage or universal usage.

01:08:56.000 If the lowest value of a Bitcoin is comparable to maybe either a penny or a quarter, then

01:09:02.000 you're talking about 10 sats, they call it, and you buy yourself a cheeseburger.

01:09:08.000 That's a unit of exchange people could easily handle.

01:09:10.000 And that means that cheeseburger today could be 10 bucks, theoretically.

01:09:15.000 Or I'm talking about a good restaurant cheeseburger.

01:09:18.000 And a McDonald's burger can be a dollar or even $2.

01:09:23.000 That means one bitcoin would be what, 100 million?

01:09:26.000 I think a hundred million dollars?

01:09:27.000 I think so, yeah.

01:09:29.000 If one Satoshi, the lowest point of a Bitcoin, is one cent, then one Bitcoin is a million dollars.

01:09:34.000 So, here's why I think it's possible.

01:09:38.000 For all the people who aren't crypto nerds and don't care, this one matters.

01:09:41.000 I remember 10 years ago, 10 years ago, I remember 15 years ago, Alex Jones was talking about how they want a one-world currency.

01:09:48.000 They're gonna make the Emero, everybody.

01:09:50.000 And then these pictures of the Emero were going around and they were like, Canada, Mexico, and the United States would have a united currency.

01:09:56.000 And that never happened.

01:09:57.000 But Alex was right about the Real ID.

01:09:59.000 I remember that.

01:09:59.000 He was talking about Real ID well before it happened.

01:10:01.000 Now it's, now you have to have it.

01:10:04.000 So here's the ultimate con, right?

01:10:08.000 How do you get people to adopt a one-world currency when they're resistant and fighting and they don't want it?

01:10:14.000 And as soon as you start talking about a shared currency between an economic bloc like North America, you get people like Alex Jones ranting about it, everyone's upset.

01:10:24.000 You trick them into doing it.

01:10:26.000 It was the anarchists, the libertarians, who adopted Bitcoin first, and then started celebrating and cheering it on.

01:10:34.000 And now we have a fully trackable, international, digital, public unit of value on the internet.

01:10:42.000 I think Bitcoin's great.

01:10:43.000 I have a good amount of Bitcoin.

01:10:45.000 But I would not be surprised if in the end it turned out the deep state made Bitcoin on purpose.

01:10:50.000 Because now they can publicly track all of your transactions.

01:10:54.000 Everything you do on it will be publicly available to them.

01:10:59.000 No more cash.

01:11:00.000 And you will be cheering it on as you switch from hard to digital currency.

01:11:06.000 It makes me wonder if we'll get this weird offset of people who go back to bartering.

01:11:10.000 They're like, I will only give you actual goods for actual goods.

01:11:13.000 There will always be gold and things like this, but I'll just put it this way.

01:11:17.000 Assuming there really is some deep, you know, global, liberal economic order conspiracy that they want Bitcoin, then Bitcoin is going to be worth billions.

01:11:27.000 Like a single Bitcoin is going to be worth an insane amount of money.

01:11:31.000 If that's true.

01:11:32.000 Not saying it is, I don't know.

01:11:33.000 Maybe Bitcoin really is the salvation of breaking the Federal Reserve and creating a universal standard or something.

01:11:39.000 Yeah, I think to that point Bitcoin will outlast the existing fiat-based currencies.

01:11:46.000 So basically it's like a black hole, like Max Keiser is always saying, that the fiat currencies are being sucked into it because they are already doomed via not being attached to anything and via the government's having, well, ultimately it's private, but the private entities that really, you know, print the money.

01:12:03.000 They're basically printing themselves into oblivion.

01:12:05.000 Every fiat currency goes to zero, and so with something that has such a strong logic and mathematics behind it, there's no way that it can lose.

01:12:14.000 I think that certain entities probably want to have a share to try to sway it and control it, like the entities that have come in via the ETFs, but I don't think they're going to be able to control it.

01:12:23.000 No, I don't think it could be controlled.

01:12:25.000 That's the power of it and why it's valuable, but it can certainly be tracked.

01:12:31.000 They've already done this.

01:12:33.000 They've been able to associate, they took someone's address for Bitcoin, looked at the coins that went into it, and then were able to track every coin and where it went.

01:12:42.000 They mapped out networks of political ideology from it.

01:12:45.000 Kind of scary.

01:12:46.000 Ooh, I do not like that at all.

01:12:48.000 That's the trade-off is the semi-private, right?

01:12:50.000 So it can't be totally private.

01:12:52.000 There's a semi-private with the public ledger, but at the same time, like, If this is an invention that's intended to store value and energy over the next hundred years, then it's going to outlive even the people alive today and probably the governments that exist today.

01:13:05.000 I think that's an interesting point, though, that fiat always goes to zero.

01:13:09.000 That's true.

01:13:10.000 I love it.

01:13:11.000 There's this meme of a dollar in 1913 versus a dollar today, and it's this massive stack, just huge.

01:13:20.000 What is it, like a thousand something or more?

01:13:22.000 Like the exponential failings of the dollar, it's become toilet paper compared to where it used to be.

01:13:27.000 They had half pennies back in the day.

01:13:28.000 Remember those?

01:13:29.000 What was it, like 1700s or whatever?

01:13:30.000 They had half pennies.

01:13:31.000 Because, like, you needed a smaller denomination for certain transactions.

01:13:36.000 Didn't, just under the Biden regime, isn't inflation up some crazy, like 10%, 20% in the last three years?

01:13:42.000 It's some crazy amount in the last three years.

01:13:44.000 Like, the purchasing power of the dollar is, like, down some crazy amount.

01:13:47.000 Look at this, the half cent.

01:13:49.000 From, uh, what is it, the smallest denomination of United States coin ever minted, 1793 to 1857.

01:13:53.000 The half cent.

01:13:59.000 Imagine that.

01:13:59.000 We don't even want pennies anymore.

01:14:00.000 Everyone's trying to get rid of them.

01:14:02.000 They say they're too expensive to make and nobody uses them.

01:14:05.000 Yeah.

01:14:05.000 Which is crazy.

01:14:06.000 One half cent.

01:14:08.000 You could just sell your pennies to like meth heads that like crush it up and then go sell it for the copper.

01:14:14.000 It's worth more than a penny.

01:14:15.000 Is that true of like nickels or something?

01:14:17.000 So here's the crazy thing.

01:14:18.000 I've got a US dollar from I think 1893.

01:14:22.000 And it's worth, I think, like 250 bucks as like a collector's item.

01:14:27.000 Right.

01:14:28.000 It can actually be traded in the US as a single dollar.

01:14:32.000 Yep.

01:14:32.000 Because it's still currency.

01:14:33.000 I also have a $500 bill that's worth like $3,500, which as a collector's item is worth, you can actually still go to a bank and exchange it for five single $100 bills.

01:14:43.000 It's still currency.

01:14:45.000 The funny thing about that dollar is, It may be worth 250 bucks, but in 1893, it was probably substantially more than 250 bucks.

01:14:55.000 Like, the value of the dollar, the buying power of the dollar back then is greater than the collectible nature of the dollar right now.

01:15:01.000 A dollar in 1913 had the buying power of $31.55.

01:15:05.000 Okay, so maybe I'm wrong then.

01:15:08.000 The 1893 dollar probably wasn't worth as much.

01:15:10.000 That was 1913, so maybe, I'm not sure what 18... I don't think 20 years prior was worth that much more.

01:15:16.000 Things were a bit more stable before the Federal Reserve.

01:15:18.000 What year was it?

01:15:19.000 18 what?

01:15:20.000 1893.

01:15:20.000 93, let's see.

01:15:23.000 Pre-Federal Reserve.

01:15:25.000 Then they had, remember, silver certificates and gold certificates?

01:15:29.000 Yeah.

01:15:29.000 Okay, yeah, they say that, yeah, it wasn't that much more.

01:15:31.000 It was 30, 35 bucks.

01:15:32.000 Okay, so it's worth a lot more.

01:15:34.000 Oh, there you go.

01:15:35.000 I'll take it.

01:15:36.000 Well, and then FDR confiscated gold, right?

01:15:40.000 Mm-hmm.

01:15:40.000 Yeah.

01:15:42.000 So what do you think happens then in 2034 when Social Security starts collapsing?

01:15:51.000 I think the dollar goes up.

01:15:52.000 I think the dollar loses its value and we see significant attempts to try and print our way out of it because there's not a whole lot they can do.

01:16:01.000 So that means Gen Xers, right? 2034. 0.97

01:16:06.000 No, it's going to be, well, what's retirement age?

01:16:08.000 What is it, 67?

01:16:10.000 65.

01:16:10.000 65?

01:16:10.000 Yeah.

01:16:12.000 So, in 10, 12 years, so it's going to be 13 years from now, and you're Gen X, you're 48, so this is right around retirement age for you.

01:16:21.000 Yep.

01:16:22.000 And you ain't got nothing.

01:16:24.000 Well, I'm not getting, I don't, I'm not expecting to get anything out of it.

01:16:27.000 I just mean like for your generation.

01:16:28.000 It will be interesting for the first like class of retirees who are like, sorry, we don't have anything.

01:16:34.000 I mean, what is that going to look like?

01:16:35.000 Like you said, maybe they'll just start being like, you get half your benefits.

01:16:38.000 We're going to try and get it from somewhere else.

01:16:40.000 But, uh, you know, this is something I remember always hearing all the time, which is that, you know, when I was entering the workforce, when I was going through high school and stuff, they're like, well, you'll never see social security.

01:16:48.000 Like it will just not be there.

01:16:51.000 But you still have to pay for it.

01:16:52.000 You have to join us all in paying for it, like a time-honored American tradition.

01:16:56.000 And I think that level of sort of fallacy, you know, to go back to what we were talking about at the beginning of the show, like, no wonder we have a generation that's just looking for sort of dopamine hits through fast scrolling.

01:17:09.000 Everything around them appears to be crumbling.

01:17:11.000 I wouldn't want to look around either.

01:17:13.000 I just imagine, you know, it's back in like 1913, and these people talking about the Federal Reserve, they're just like, I've got a great idea!

01:17:19.000 We'll borrow from the future!

01:17:21.000 We will borrow against our kids! 0.99

01:17:24.000 And that's what they did.

01:17:25.000 And that's what they're doing.

01:17:27.000 The way our entire economy is set up is that the older generations are borrowing from the younger generations.

01:17:35.000 And that's like, honestly, that's what Social Security is.

01:17:38.000 Young people are paying into Social Security, and old people receive Social Security checks. 0.92

01:17:43.000 Now here's the best part.

01:17:44.000 It's not just the money's gonna run out, the people are gonna run out.

01:17:47.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, we barred against the future, but then we stopped producing a future,

01:17:51.000 and we're like, whoever's left, you guys pay for it.

01:17:53.000 Maybe that's why they're desperately flooding the country with illegal immigrants, 1.00

01:17:58.000 hoping they'll create a tax base that will fund Social Security

01:18:01.000 before it implodes and blows up the global economy.

01:18:03.000 They're not participating in taxes the same way a native one American would. 0.94

01:18:05.000 I think that should be obvious to everyone.

01:18:07.000 I mean, it's this crazy thing where instead of encouraging people to have families, finding ways to make it easier, encouraging strong family values, they're like, you guys are the worst and we're just going to replace you with other people who live in fear of us because they don't have legal status.

01:18:23.000 Well, learn how to raise chickens, how to farm.

01:18:27.000 Chickens are great.

01:18:28.000 Cows are based.

01:18:30.000 We've got, there's a farm nearby where their property includes a creek, and it's the coolest thing ever when you're driving past, and the cows are just in the water, chilling, and I'm just so jealous of those cows.

01:18:41.000 I mean, not the part where they get killed in two years, but the part where they get to walk around, eating whatever they want, rolling around in the water.

01:18:46.000 In like an idyllic, beautiful area, you know?

01:18:48.000 I know.

01:18:49.000 It's like a short life, but a beautiful life.

01:18:52.000 I don't really envy that, but just to have that farm-fresh day with fresh grass and the sunlight on your large cow body.

01:18:59.000 Well, and they never live a day without purpose, you know?

01:19:02.000 They're always working towards their ultimate goal, which is to become food, which is kind of interesting, right?

01:19:08.000 To become food.

01:19:09.000 I mean, maybe they don't get to choose their purpose in life, but do any of us?

01:19:13.000 I mean, they're living the life, man.

01:19:15.000 When we drive past and there's that creek and they're just standing in the water and they're drinking from it and they look up, I'm like, that's bliss.

01:19:21.000 And it's only bliss because they don't know they're meat.

01:19:24.000 And we are going to eat their flesh.

01:19:26.000 Animal farm. 0.99

01:19:27.000 You're basically a communist.

01:19:28.000 Animal farm, right? 0.94

01:19:29.000 How does that make me?

01:19:30.000 What?

01:19:31.000 Because the cows get to live in ignorant bliss? 1.00

01:19:33.000 Well, no, I'm just joking.

01:19:34.000 Because in animal form, it's like the farm is a model. 0.93

01:19:37.000 I was just being silly.

01:19:39.000 Let's jump to this next story from AP News. 0.98

01:19:42.000 New York governor regrets saying black kids in the Bronx don't know what a computer is.

01:19:45.000 You don't say.

01:19:47.000 I don't understand how New York continues to keep her in office.

01:19:51.000 Welcome to the Democratic Party.

01:19:53.000 Yo, she legit said that in an interview.

01:19:56.000 We should find the video of it.

01:19:57.000 Let me pull up the video on X. Dude, it is absolutely wild that this is genuinely what they believe.

01:20:07.000 And it reminds me of that Ami Horowitz video where he goes to these Berkeley students.

01:20:12.000 Everyone's seen it.

01:20:13.000 And he's like, is voter ID racist?

01:20:15.000 And they're like, yeah, because, you know, black people don't know how to get on the internet or where the DMV is. 1.00

01:20:20.000 All right, you guys ready? 0.93

01:20:21.000 Here we go. 0.98

01:20:22.000 Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word Okay, hold on.

01:20:27.000 know they don't know these things and I want the world open up to all of them because when you have

01:20:27.000 Hold on.

01:20:27.000 I'm gonna play it again.

01:20:33.000 their diverse voices innovating solutions through technology then you're really addressing society's

01:20:40.000 broader challenges. Okay hold on hold on I'm gonna play it again. Young black kids growing up in the 0.99

01:20:46.000 Bronx who don't even know what the word a computer is. She did say young kids. 0.95

01:20:53.000 And we know that a kid is under the age of 12.

01:20:57.000 And so on the younger side could be 4.

01:20:59.000 Maybe 4 year olds don't know what the word computer is.

01:21:02.000 Take that.

01:21:04.000 She's talking about the actual color black, baby goat. 0.98

01:21:06.000 predator comment. This is all killery, right? 0.81

01:21:08.000 Or she said kids, maybe she means baby goats. And I don't think goats know what computers are. I mean, like,

01:21:13.000 she's talking about the actual color black baby goat. And she's trying to help farms. But Republican bigots are 0.99

01:21:21.000 always thinking it's about race.

01:21:23.000 They don't believe in urban agriculture like Kathy Hochul does.

01:21:26.000 Right. In all seriousness, Democrats are actually racist. 0.98

01:21:29.000 Talk down to minorities. They they it's it's it's not talking 1.00

01:21:34.000 down is the right way to describe it. They they act stupid. Yeah, they infantilize black people according to 1.00

01:21:40.000 And this is how they view the world. 0.91

01:21:40.000 Yale. 0.91

01:21:44.000 Democrats have always been the racist party thinking they're better.

01:21:48.000 I mean, this is literally the argument of the Confederates.

01:21:51.000 They're just like, we are better learned and civilized and the savage must be tamed.

01:21:56.000 And that's basically how they still view minorities. 0.97

01:21:59.000 The idea that there is a racist party and a not racist party is absolutely clown world BS. 0.96

01:22:06.000 And if you buy it, I'm laughing at you. 0.97

01:22:09.000 There's the Democratic racists and the Republicans who aren't.

01:22:09.000 But there is.

01:22:12.000 There's Democrats that are racist, but there are Republicans that are racist, too. 0.98

01:22:15.000 There are conservatives that are racist. 0.98

01:22:18.000 Everybody got some hate on them.

01:22:20.000 Kathy Hochul thinks that there appears to be a third world country in the middle of New York. 1.00

01:22:26.000 Kathy Hochul is just stupid. 1.00

01:22:28.000 But she's the governor. 1.00

01:22:29.000 That's who they pick.

01:22:30.000 They pick this woman to represent them.

01:22:32.000 That seems crazy to me. 1.00

01:22:33.000 Stupid and racist. 1.00

01:22:35.000 Stupid and racist, yes. 1.00

01:22:36.000 Fair enough. 1.00

01:22:36.000 Well, it's funny because the Republicans are always jumping in every possible hoop to stress that they're not racist, and then the Democrats are always the one making the faux pas, kind of admitting what they really think. 1.00

01:22:50.000 Yeah.

01:22:51.000 But then everybody thinks, I don't know, if you're conservative you have to be racist.

01:22:54.000 She said, of course black children in the Bronx know what computers are.

01:22:57.000 The problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI.

01:23:05.000 That's why I've been focused on increasing economic opportunity since day one of my administration and will continue that fight to ensure every New Yorker has a shot at a good paying job.

01:23:14.000 She's still basically saying the same thing. 0.70

01:23:17.000 When Ami Horowitz went out, in one of the greatest videos of all time, and he asked these Berkeley students if voter ID was racist, and they all said yes, and they were saying ridiculous things like, black people don't know where the DMV is, and they don't have the internet, and they don't have phones. 0.73

01:23:30.000 And so he goes to, where did he go?

01:23:32.000 He went to the Bronx, right?

01:23:32.000 Or did he go to Harlem?

01:23:33.000 I'm not sure.

01:23:34.000 He went to New York, he went to a black neighborhood, and he was like, he didn't ask about voter ID, he just went, Do you have an ID?"

01:23:40.000 And they were like, yeah.

01:23:42.000 And he's like, was it hard to get?

01:23:43.000 And they were like, no.

01:23:45.000 And it's like, do you know anybody without an ID?

01:23:46.000 And they're like, what do you mean?

01:23:47.000 Everybody's got an ID.

01:23:49.000 Like, you go and get it.

01:23:50.000 He has this one young guy and he's like, what are you talking about?

01:23:51.000 Like, everybody, you're 16, you go get your ID.

01:23:53.000 Like, what do you mean?

01:23:54.000 And he's like, oh, I'm just wondering.

01:23:55.000 And then of course, and then he asked one young guy, he's like, do you have access to the internet?

01:23:59.000 And he's like, yeah.

01:24:01.000 Like, well, I got it on my phone right here.

01:24:03.000 And he's like, do you think kids have access to the internet?

01:24:04.000 And he's like, every kid's got internet.

01:24:06.000 They just get it on their phone.

01:24:07.000 But the best interaction of all was when he asks this older guy, he's like, do you know where the DMV is?

01:24:12.000 He goes, yeah, you just make a left up here on 25th. 0.55

01:24:15.000 Like he thought he was asking for directions because it's the stupidest thing in the world to ask somebody if they know how to get to the DMV.

01:24:20.000 Of course, it's right over there, but they're like dozens of times for all of my needs. 0.99

01:24:25.000 The world Democrats live in, it's like they isolate themselves, surround themselves by other affluent white liberals, and then tell each other how superior they are and how racist everyone else is.

01:24:39.000 What do you think, Jay?

01:24:40.000 It's ultimate doublethink.

01:24:41.000 It's really weird.

01:24:43.000 I don't know.

01:24:45.000 I mean, the greatest sin you can commit in our society is something, quote, racist.

01:24:50.000 The Democrats do this all the time.

01:24:52.000 It's just bizarre.

01:24:54.000 It's weird.

01:24:54.000 We live in an Orwellian doublethink.

01:24:56.000 Do you think they can get away with it more than him?

01:24:58.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:25:00.000 Just because they have the right letter at the end of the day?

01:25:02.000 Yeah.

01:25:03.000 I don't know.

01:25:04.000 I just think we shouldn't live in their world. 0.89

01:25:06.000 We've got to build our own parallel economy.

01:25:08.000 You know, sell our own coffee.

01:25:12.000 And music.

01:25:12.000 You know.

01:25:13.000 And culture.

01:25:15.000 Well, you could send missionaries to the Bronx and teach young children about computers, apparently, according to Cathy Holt.

01:25:22.000 Everyone has verbal gasp, but some of these ones are so, like, a slip of the mask.

01:25:25.000 It feels like, oh, you really think that your world is inaccessible to young people of a different race than you.

01:25:32.000 And that is creepy and weird. 0.97

01:25:34.000 I think that one of the things that I have learned or noticed about the whole CRT thing and the woke people is racism is something that we can try to minimize, but that is something that's in most people, and it comes out when they say the dumbest stuff.

01:25:55.000 And I don't know that you can actually get rid of it.

01:26:00.000 And I think that the best options, try not to focus on it like the woke people do,

01:26:05.000 because I think when you focus on it, it only manifests in bad ways.

01:26:08.000 But I think that the idea that people aren't gonna have those kind of slips,

01:26:12.000 is probably, you probably expect people to be inhuman if you think that they're not gonna slip 0.94

01:26:17.000 and say dumb stuff like that. 0.94

01:26:18.000 Not that I'm making excuses, but it happens. 0.98

01:26:21.000 No, but just ask the governor, it's like, do you understand

01:26:24.000 what the breakdown of your community is.

01:26:25.000 And being governor of New York is obviously slightly complicated because you have very urbanized New York City, but then you have a lot of the state that's different.

01:26:32.000 It's more rural.

01:26:33.000 There are some other midsize cities.

01:26:36.000 But, you know, Anytime she now signs some sort of educational bill, right?

01:26:40.000 And she's like, well, I want to send computers to all these places or do whatever. 0.95

01:26:44.000 It calls into question what she actually thinks of her constituents and if she actually has an understanding of their needs.

01:26:50.000 Like, if she meant to say these students who live in the Bronx may not have a computer in their home, I would have understood. 0.98

01:26:56.000 But just assuming they don't know what it is seems like you are actually the ignorant person. 0.95

01:27:02.000 She's talking about like she's got an image in her head. 0.98

01:27:02.000 She's got it. 0.98

01:27:05.000 You know, she's not talking about... She doesn't know who she's supposed to be representing.

01:27:08.000 Yeah, like when she imagines the Bronx, she's thinking North Sentinel Island.

01:27:11.000 And I don't want to ruin that for her.

01:27:19.000 There's nothing wrong with North Sentinel Island.

01:27:20.000 Just let her live her life. 0.96

01:27:21.000 She's only the governor of this state. 1.00

01:27:23.000 Can we go back to what Democrats were saying 20 years ago where, like, Quentin Tarantino was always arguing that you should shout the N-word from the top of every building.

01:27:33.000 Is that actually what he said?

01:27:33.000 Remember that?

01:27:35.000 Yeah.

01:27:36.000 He gave an interview and they were like, what do you think about free speech?

01:27:39.000 He was like, I think we should go ahead.

01:27:40.000 We should shout the N-word from the top of every building.

01:27:42.000 And then he did in all of his movies.

01:27:44.000 And then he does.

01:27:45.000 But then he's like, you know, yeah, like super Democrat anti, you know.

01:27:48.000 It's like we watch Pulp Fiction, and I'm kind of wondering, like, Quentin, did you just really want to say the N-word as much as possible?

01:27:54.000 And he wasn't hiding it, apparently.

01:27:55.000 He's giving interviews being like, yes, from the top of a building.

01:27:58.000 It's like he wrote himself a character that literally just keeps saying it over and over and over again.

01:28:02.000 And it's like, okay, like, we get it.

01:28:04.000 Like, But then he's like the most, you know, he'll go after anybody that's, you know.

01:28:04.000 You know what I mean?

01:28:08.000 But he has the right letter at the end of his name.

01:28:10.000 But I'm portraying a racist, you know what I mean?

01:28:12.000 Yeah, right, exactly.

01:28:14.000 Everyone talks about the past.

01:28:15.000 You get it if you have a D next to your name.

01:28:17.000 Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

01:28:19.000 But I think the important takeaway from all of this is, I'd be willing to bet Because I'm an egotistical dick that if you were to play a clip of the North Sentinel Island joke to Democrats, they'd go, I don't get it.

01:28:36.000 And the average Republican, I would say, they'd probably go, Tim, that was a bad joke.

01:28:43.000 But they understand what North Sentinel Island is.

01:28:45.000 And it's like what you were saying about people who listen to talk radio of like, Longer attention spans.

01:28:51.000 And I also think that there's a correlation between today being on the right and being smart and being on the left and being not smart.

01:29:00.000 Of course, they're adamant that they are very smart because Stephen Colbert told them 20 years ago that reality has a liberal bias.

01:29:08.000 I like your theory so much I don't care if it's true.

01:29:13.000 Yeah, I think that You know, it's like, was it Johnny Rotten?

01:29:18.000 You know, never did I think that the right would be the cool anti-establishment ones and the left would be the whiny twats trying to ban everything.

01:29:26.000 And it's like, well, you know, there you are.

01:29:27.000 I think that you watch someone like Bill Maher and Every episode, it's just like, my guy, do you read the news?

01:29:38.000 And I think probably the most embarrassing thing ever for Bill Maher was when he read the quote from Jack Posobiec that was an obvious joke.

01:29:45.000 And you could tell he realized the last minute as he's reading it, he's reading a joke!

01:29:51.000 And then he's like, are they really saying this?

01:29:54.000 And it's like, wow, Bill! 1.00

01:29:55.000 you're so dumb. But he knew. And he's like, well, don't quit your day job. Jack's day job is 1.00

01:30:02.000 political commentary. Why would he quit? He's not a comedian. But it was funny either way.

01:30:06.000 They've become the party of cult-like, ignorant, mindless drones, 1.00

01:30:13.000 and just looking at the ignorance of his panel. 0.99

01:30:17.000 You know, Bhatia Angusargan's like, Bill, that was a joke! 0.67

01:30:21.000 He was making fun of the media reaction over these things.

01:30:25.000 And he's like, oh.

01:30:26.000 But then you watch the Prager interview, you watch the Don Lemon interview, and he just shows over and over and over again, the dude has like, He has no understanding of modern goings on.

01:30:39.000 So if I were to make a joke about North Sentinel Island, a lot of people are going to say, yeah, sure, like, it was a weak joke, Tim.

01:30:45.000 And that's fine.

01:30:46.000 But you know what North Sentinel Island is.

01:30:48.000 You know what I mean?

01:30:49.000 Like, that's that's kind of the sad reality of things.

01:30:53.000 Do you think humor extends to all parties?

01:30:55.000 Or do you think there's sort of a chasm between the types of humors people on the political spectrum can tolerate?

01:31:04.000 Tough question.

01:31:04.000 I think, uh, certain, I mean, there's double standards everywhere.

01:31:08.000 Uh, and also I think that people aren't, they're less and less understanding humor precisely because of the, of the dumbing down.

01:31:18.000 So people can't grasp like things having multiple meanings, different senses, nuance.

01:31:23.000 That's very important in humor.

01:31:24.000 Uh, comedy requires that it requires a kind of a high IQ.

01:31:28.000 You have to have some knowledge of things and understand the sense in which people – but

01:31:32.000 I think a lot of young people especially like the rise in autism rates and all that, that's

01:31:37.000 creating a kind of a young generation that sees everything as very literal, very – the

01:31:42.000 people you're talking about in terms of like social justice, protesters that are very

01:31:47.000 black and white, very literal.

01:31:49.000 Everything is as it is.

01:31:52.000 Nothing is nuanced.

01:31:53.000 I put out a few tweets last week or maybe two weeks ago that went viral.

01:31:57.000 They were obvious jokes to the same point that you're making about Jack's tweets.

01:32:02.000 I was reading through the comments and probably half of the commenters couldn't grasp a very obvious joke.

01:32:09.000 The nuance that was there was obvious.

01:32:13.000 I mean, there's a lot going on, but I'm really worried about, uh, you know, going back to the point earlier about the scroll and the feed.

01:32:18.000 Like people are, something's going on with whatever's going on with young people that they're not getting educated.

01:32:25.000 Like they're, they're missing some sort of wiring.

01:32:27.000 Yeah.

01:32:28.000 They're spending all their time on Tik TOK and they're flicking through minute long videos and understanding nothing.

01:32:32.000 And they didn't.

01:32:33.000 I mean, I think about, so the people point this out, people who would be graduating from, let's say, Columbia or any of these universities, they also missed their high school graduation because of COVID, right?

01:32:41.000 Like, there is a generation that was socialized in a way that was very limited and very internet dependent.

01:32:47.000 And I think we are seeing the effects in rapid time because the internet makes everything evolve even more quickly.

01:32:54.000 They talk about this with slang.

01:32:55.000 Slang evolves more quickly with the internet age.

01:32:57.000 We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com, click Join Us to become a member, and you'll get access to our members-only Discord server where you can hang out with like-minded individuals.

01:33:28.000 It's gonna be fun, we're gonna take your calls as members, but for now, what were your super chats?

01:33:34.000 Lincoln, with the first super chat says, have Nick on, make it rumble or members only.

01:33:39.000 You won't!

01:33:40.000 What was the point of that last, you won't?

01:33:43.000 Like, why do you do that?

01:33:43.000 Because now you have to be like, well now I will, because you said I won't.

01:33:47.000 Oh, aha, you've tricked me!

01:33:48.000 Now that you've said it, I must do it!

01:33:50.000 I've always said you should have Nick Offerman on.

01:33:53.000 I thought he would be a great guest.

01:33:54.000 He's super leftist.

01:33:55.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:33:56.000 Everyone knows Nick's what you're talking about.

01:33:58.000 This is the thing about like all of the Fuentes stuff is like we never even talked to him and he never even asked to come on the show.

01:34:05.000 It was Jake Shields who wanted Nick to come on the show and then dragged Nick into it and then Nick gets mad and I'm like I don't even know why Nick is involved.

01:34:12.000 He had nothing to do with it.

01:34:13.000 But the most important thing is we never even said we wouldn't have him on the show.

01:34:17.000 Jake got mad that I didn't respond to his text for a week, and then was, like, complaining about it.

01:34:23.000 And the issue was, like, okay, well, if you want to do it, it has to be a debate.

01:34:27.000 And then Nick was like, oh, it's because they're scared of getting censored, and if they should just say, I'm done with these games, they're playing games.

01:34:34.000 Quite literally, the first thing I said to Jake was, if we just have you guys on the show to talk about Jews, we'll get banned. 1.00

01:34:39.000 But if we do a debate, then we can do the show, so why don't we find someone to make it a good show and we'll make a big show?" 0.92

01:34:45.000 And he said, okay.

01:34:46.000 And then everyone said no.

01:34:48.000 And then he's like, his excuse is, he wants to do the show with, like, some smaller, lesser-known personalities.

01:34:56.000 And it's like, okay, look, dude.

01:34:59.000 When he came back to me and said he wanted to debate Shmuley, I said, sure, but like you realize people will just say you copped out of a real debate.

01:35:07.000 Like you want to get like an actual academic or high prominent Jewish personality who's going to challenge you, then we can do that. 0.68

01:35:15.000 And he agreed with me.

01:35:17.000 And then he texted me and then like, I'm busy, and he's like, because Tim didn't give me all of his time, therefore I'm angry.

01:35:24.000 And then ultimately it came down to, I think, Cassandra, I don't know exactly what you said, but it's like, look, if we just have you on the show without doing it debate style, then we just get banned, and nobody wants to take that risk.

01:35:33.000 And then they all get out of Beneshape, and they're complaining and whining about it, because that's what they do. 0.99

01:35:37.000 Get Nick Cage and Nick on here to debate.

01:35:41.000 Yeah, that would never happen.

01:35:42.000 But I'd get Nick Cage on and talk about movies.

01:35:44.000 TokenBlackGuy says, howdy people!

01:35:46.000 Howdy, TokenBlackGuy.

01:35:48.000 Clint was not here.

01:35:50.000 Kyle says, my name is pronounced Kyle, but my friends call me Kiel.

01:35:54.000 Proud member since January of 2021 and recently upgraded to Elite.

01:35:58.000 Thank you for providing a trustworthy source of news coverage.

01:36:01.000 I am mildly perturbed because the goal of the Elite membership It was because, you know, the team came to me and said, Tim, you should do like a higher tier membership where it's like elite access, slightly more expensive and more involved.

01:36:18.000 And I said, oh, that's a really cool idea.

01:36:19.000 We can do things like pre-releases and like privy to information.

01:36:24.000 And so the ultimate thing was the first thing we can do that really makes the elite membership worth it is key fob access at the new Casper location, which means you will have a key to the private club.

01:36:37.000 And hanging out at Mar-a-Lago, which is very expensive, it's like, I don't know, I don't know exactly how it works,

01:36:43.000 but you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars being members of these places.

01:36:46.000 We have our version of a club, which is a hundred bucks a month,

01:36:49.000 and that covers a lot of basic costs, like maintaining the building, and there's drinks there.

01:36:54.000 We might still have to charge a small, like at-cost rate or something,

01:36:57.000 but then you get a key, you get a key fob access.

01:36:59.000 And so I'm mildly perturbed because, uh, we're just stuck in permitting, waiting for, uh, the drawings to come in, and it just takes forever.

01:37:06.000 And it's absolutely insane how long this takes, because we've been waiting two years, or I shouldn't say two, but like a year and a half, to get this thing going.

01:37:13.000 And the first thing is, like, we got some, a contractor's no good, bring another contractor, it's no good.

01:37:18.000 Now we got a contractor who's super good, but now we just have to go through permitting, so it's taking longer than we thought.

01:37:23.000 But the Elite Club, the Elite Membership is a hundred bucks a month, and the point is, we want to create physical spaces where you will actually walk up to the door and go, beep, walk in and hang out, play video games, watch TV.

01:37:34.000 It's a private thing, so there'll be like, you know, I'm assuming we can have beer and stuff like that, but then you're hanging out with other like-minded individuals in the area, and thus we create the third space, they call it.

01:37:43.000 A place to hang out outside of work or home or restaurants or whatever, where you can network and build stuff with people.

01:37:50.000 That's the ultimate plan, but Kyle, thank you so much.

01:37:52.000 We really do appreciate it.

01:37:54.000 Mr. Batalon says, howdy Tim and howdy Clint.

01:37:57.000 See, even though Clint isn't the first Super Chatter, he's still getting shoutouts.

01:38:01.000 Did Clint go to the gym today?

01:38:02.000 I wonder.

01:38:03.000 I don't know.

01:38:04.000 RelaxBuddy says, I've been a viewer from the start.

01:38:07.000 I'm a single dad with two boys, five and three, and a mortgage.

01:38:11.000 A teen drunk driving destroyed my car recently, and I'm struggling to get to work every day.

01:38:16.000 Anything helps.

01:38:17.000 Blake R. Meters.

01:38:19.000 Meters?

01:38:20.000 I hope that was right.

01:38:21.000 Let me see if that comes up.

01:38:23.000 Otherwise, I might just be sending money to a random person who doesn't actually need it.

01:38:26.000 But I'm sure they'll be happy nonetheless.

01:38:29.000 So, if I search for this username, I don't think it's gonna come up.

01:38:34.000 Blake R. Meters?

01:38:36.000 We could not find any matching profiles.

01:38:40.000 Blake R. Meters.

01:38:41.000 I don't- I don't- I have- I have Venmo, that's what I have.

01:38:43.000 So, sorry man.

01:38:46.000 CEO Fat Girl says, yolks for breakfast, loo malties for second breakfast, oh, loo malnatties.

01:38:53.000 Okay, so it's typo.

01:38:54.000 Portillos for elevensies, London house for afternoon at tea, prime and provisions for dinner, and purple pig for supper.

01:39:02.000 This is the path everyone agrees.

01:39:03.000 I suppose if you live in Chicago.

01:39:05.000 Everyone agrees.

01:39:06.000 You know what I learned, an important lesson?

01:39:09.000 When I was growing up in Chicago, I was like, we don't have good skateboarding, we don't have good music.

01:39:12.000 Like, we had our music, we had skateboarding, but it was always just like, the real cultural stuff in these areas was happening in the west and east coast, and mostly the west coast.

01:39:20.000 And then I learned, Chicago's the city of food.

01:39:23.000 That's like they got the Culinary Institute or whatever, Taste of Chicago.

01:39:26.000 And then when I left and traveled to other places and all the food sucked, I was like, wow, Chicago's got some of the most famous food in the country.

01:39:33.000 That's how I felt about pizza growing up in New England.

01:39:36.000 Apparently, there's a whole theory that New England is right at the center, or at least like coastal Connecticut is at the center of the Pizza Belt of America, which is based on where immigration settled.

01:39:46.000 And it's one of the reasons that the Pizza Hut and And Domino's started in the Midwest and they conquered there, but it was really difficult for them to break into the Northeast market because the Northeast already had good pizza.

01:39:58.000 Do you have a theory as to why the Northeast has good quality pizza?

01:40:03.000 Because the argument goes that it is the water in New York and Southern Connecticut that makes, because that's where the focus is, Southern Connecticut, New Haven and New York and stuff.

01:40:12.000 See, film is what I'm talking about.

01:40:13.000 Of course, I'm from Massachusetts.

01:40:15.000 Um, do you think, do you have an opinion as to what it is?

01:40:18.000 Is it the actual recipe or is it the water that's used?

01:40:23.000 I think it could be something like either water or some type of ingredients.

01:40:26.000 I think part of it is that from what I read – shout out to one of my favorite podcasts ever, which is The Food That Built America by The History Channel.

01:40:33.000 They talked about the fact that people who started making pizza for these chains used like the recipe for French bread.

01:40:41.000 So I think part of it is just the immigration and institutional knowledge on how to make the crust correctly and that changes the game. 0.83

01:40:48.000 Well, there was a pizza place, I think it's in Tampa, and they import water and flour from New York.

01:40:54.000 Yeah, people really believe this.

01:40:57.000 Altitude and humidity matter a lot.

01:40:59.000 Part of the reason, one of the things that I have heard people talk about is because of the mineral content, because of like New Hampshire and New England and stuff, there's a lot.

01:41:08.000 It's the old bones of New England, the mountains and stuff.

01:41:13.000 Do you think that's what it is?

01:41:14.000 I don't know that I think, but hearing it, to me, it's at least slightly compelling.

01:41:22.000 I don't have a strong feeling, but I'm like, well, that makes sense.

01:41:25.000 Because I know that I have a well at my house in New Hampshire, and we have the best water that I've ever had.

01:41:32.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:41:33.000 We got, uh, Highest Inversion says, please pray for my friend Kara.

01:41:37.000 She's a single mom of three living in South Carolina.

01:41:39.000 She needs help with bills. 1.00

01:41:41.000 Saving for a new car.

01:41:42.000 Go fund me, the CLJ Squad.

01:41:45.000 Best of luck!

01:41:48.000 You know, sad to hear it, but I hope everything works out.

01:41:50.000 BillyMFP says, AI Trump... What does it say?

01:41:53.000 AI?

01:41:54.000 Or is it L?

01:41:55.000 Trump doing Maxine Waters' call for violent speech and see how she reacts to it. 0.70

01:41:58.000 Oh, I see, I see.

01:41:59.000 AI Trump doing Maxine Waters' speech and see how she reacts to it.

01:42:02.000 That's a good idea.

01:42:04.000 Someone should take, like, all of the bad things that, like, Maxine Waters says and plug it into an AI that sounds like Trump and then just put it up on the internet and be like, listen to what Trump said.

01:42:13.000 I do a really good Maxine Waters impression, but I'll save it.

01:42:17.000 Is that an after show?

01:42:18.000 Yeah, we'll have it on the after show.

01:42:19.000 It'll be fun.

01:42:20.000 Deconstruction Area says, Clint this and Clint that, whereas I'm not your buddy guy, Ben.

01:42:26.000 It's been all these months.

01:42:28.000 Oh yeah.

01:42:29.000 Yeah.

01:42:30.000 I love this community search effort.

01:42:32.000 He's missing.

01:42:33.000 Gig Drive and Thrive says, cut off all podcasts except for IRL.

01:42:37.000 Listening since 2020 kept me sane in this crazy world.

01:42:40.000 Me and my family of five need to come up with 1K by Friday or we're evicted.

01:42:44.000 Anything helps.

01:42:46.000 DMD Kevin.

01:42:47.000 Do we believe him?

01:42:49.000 Is that Venmo?

01:42:50.000 DMD Kevin?

01:42:51.000 DMD Kevin?

01:42:53.000 We could not.

01:42:53.000 Oh wait.

01:42:54.000 It popped up.

01:42:55.000 It popped up.

01:42:57.000 Do we believe him?

01:42:58.000 I think so.

01:42:59.000 He supports IRL.

01:43:02.000 If I support IRL, does that mean everybody can know?

01:43:04.000 Oh, I just mean he's like saying he's been listening for a long time.

01:43:06.000 Do you believe him that he needs a thousand dollars, otherwise he's evicted?

01:43:10.000 I need to know more details.

01:43:11.000 I don't know.

01:43:11.000 No, so that's abstain.

01:43:14.000 Phil, what say you?

01:43:14.000 Abstain.

01:43:15.000 Abstain?

01:43:16.000 Well, no, I want to abstain.

01:43:17.000 This is peer pressure.

01:43:18.000 What about Surge?

01:43:20.000 Pure democracy.

01:43:21.000 I don't know.

01:43:23.000 I know what it's like to be struggling for rent, but I also don't know anything about this dude.

01:43:27.000 He's just a random YouTube commenter.

01:43:28.000 He is just from the internet.

01:43:30.000 So does that mean everyone votes a no on giving him a thousand dollars?

01:43:32.000 This is impossible pressure.

01:43:36.000 I hate this.

01:43:37.000 And one yes.

01:43:38.000 It seems like the vote fails.

01:43:41.000 I feel bad.

01:43:42.000 I feel like I have this guy's, like, his livelihood or his, like, his home is literally on the line right now.

01:43:47.000 I don't know.

01:43:49.000 I'm gonna sell it for a thousand dollars.

01:43:50.000 I want to believe that, like, someone who takes the time to do this is genuinely asking for help, but it is hard to tell with the internet.

01:43:56.000 That's one thing that I hate right now about culture, which is, like, everything is so intense.

01:44:00.000 Everyone has their own negative reason for doing something that you just, it just, we're breeding a society that doesn't have any optimist, that doesn't believe in anybody.

01:44:10.000 For good reasons, on the other hand, that seems like a long-term poor investment.

01:44:13.000 Congratulations, Kevin, I just sent you $1,000.

01:44:14.000 I have no idea if you're telling the truth, but maybe you'll have fun either way.

01:44:19.000 And then there was that other guy from last night actually super chatted too, so I imagine I'll pay his rent, but that'll be the last one.

01:44:26.000 That's your good deeds for the week?

01:44:27.000 I feel like if you have a dog that needs surgery, I need to see a picture of it.

01:44:30.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:44:31.000 in need of surgery or something, we'll start to save animals.

01:44:33.000 I feel like you have a dog that needs surgery, I need to see a picture of it, you know what

01:44:36.000 I'm saying?

01:44:37.000 Like, you could prove that you have a dog.

01:44:38.000 Yeah, like the GoFundMes I feel are safer, like someone just being like, Venmo me.

01:44:41.000 It's kind of rough, because someone could just be sitting there eating pizza and being

01:44:44.000 like, I need more food, so uh, my car broke.

01:44:47.000 Yeah.

01:44:47.000 I think, and the other part is like with the Gifts and Go stuff or the GoFundMes, I wonder if seeing like a big donation come in helps other people sort of jump on board and be like, oh yeah, I'm going to give to this too.

01:44:57.000 I don't know.

01:44:57.000 There's sort of group encouragement.

01:45:00.000 Let's see, we'll grab some more.

01:45:02.000 Infinite Soul Daddy says, listen to the show while waiting for my twins to be born.

01:45:05.000 Wife is in labor, but we're at a lull in the action.

01:45:08.000 She's chilling and political gossip is breaking up the boredom.

01:45:12.000 Why?

01:45:12.000 Nice.

01:45:13.000 Well, good luck, sir.

01:45:14.000 These are my favorite super chats that we get when people are like, I am having a child.

01:45:18.000 I'm about to have a child.

01:45:19.000 The child just arrived.

01:45:20.000 I love that you're having twins.

01:45:21.000 I wish this person could tell us their names, but I feel like that's children's privacy.

01:45:25.000 But yeah, best of luck with labor.

01:45:27.000 That sounds awful.

01:45:28.000 Rob says, Phil, I use exercise to manage my mental health, especially now as I go through a rough patch.

01:45:33.000 And I have to say, Divine has been on repeat since it came out.

01:45:36.000 The chorus is catchy as ish.

01:45:38.000 Also, is it true Hetfield is based?

01:45:41.000 I'm not sure if Hetfield is based.

01:45:43.000 I have heard rumors that Hetfield is based.

01:45:46.000 And thank you so much for spinning Divine.

01:45:48.000 I appreciate the hell out of it.

01:45:49.000 We're really proud of it.

01:45:50.000 And it's...

01:45:52.000 It was a lot of work and a long time that we had to sit on it and now that it's out I'm very very happy that you guys are enjoying it.

01:45:58.000 Justin says, Tim, that's the second chair in the new studio.

01:46:02.000 LOL.

01:46:02.000 Is that the one or will you find another?

01:46:04.000 It's the third.

01:46:05.000 You mean second new chair?

01:46:07.000 So here's what happened.

01:46:07.000 We have these Boston chairs, which have been reliably good for the entire duration of IRL.

01:46:13.000 But what happened was the one that was here, I don't know if someone, I think someone put a screw in wrong or something.

01:46:19.000 And so I just grabbed this other chair that we had and just used that one instead.

01:46:23.000 Cause whatever was, like the Boston chairs are fantastic, I got no beef.

01:46:26.000 We used it for years. 0.99

01:46:27.000 But the one that was put together, I think was put together wrong, and so it like hurt my ass. 0.98

01:46:32.000 And uh, it was like arching my, it was like, it was at an angle. 0.96

01:46:35.000 And so I was like, I can't sit on this, someone's gotta fix it.

01:46:37.000 So I just grabbed the other chair, and then I saw this cool looking cloth chair on Amazon.

01:46:41.000 I was like, oh I want that one, that one looks pretty good.

01:46:44.000 And so we just, we just, I just used it.

01:46:46.000 I don't know.

01:46:47.000 That's it.

01:46:47.000 That's the reason why I have a different chair.

01:46:49.000 Nothing, nothing too exciting.

01:46:52.000 All right, where are we at?

01:46:54.000 Let's go.

01:46:55.000 Tyler Mitchell.

01:46:56.000 Just a super chat.

01:46:57.000 Thumbs up.

01:46:58.000 Oh, you know what's really cool?

01:46:59.000 You know what we could do?

01:47:02.000 Maybe everyone else can vote on these chats.

01:47:04.000 If someone says something like, I gotta pay my rent, and they really think the person's telling the truth, then people could give a thumbs up.

01:47:13.000 You know?

01:47:15.000 Something like that.

01:47:16.000 I think we can help some people out.

01:47:18.000 We get a lot of people with superchats saying they have a GoFundMe and they're looking for help, so we could certainly help out some people.

01:47:23.000 We have the means.

01:47:24.000 We will do our best.

01:47:25.000 Certainly we can't help everybody.

01:47:28.000 SG says, Hey Tim, this is SG.

01:47:30.000 Wasn't able to get you my Venmo last night for rent, but here it is.

01:47:33.000 Thank you for all the help.

01:47:35.000 Stephen Griffin 444, huh?

01:47:36.000 Alright, let's see.

01:47:38.000 Stephen Griffin.

01:47:41.000 and four four four and uh... it popped up as a picture of a guy with a woman and a dog

01:47:48.000 what i don't know uh... i can tell is that that that's not

01:47:52.000 maybe a baby pet can't tell too small

01:47:56.000 but uh... what he said he needed last night he did like seventeen nine seventeen ninety remember

01:48:02.000 will get two thousand dollars for no reason

01:48:05.000 What's this for?

01:48:06.000 I'm going to put no reason.

01:48:08.000 And I'm going to put, you know, do whatever you want.

01:48:13.000 There you go.

01:48:16.000 And there we go.

01:48:20.000 It's sending.

01:48:21.000 And okay.

01:48:22.000 Well, there it is.

01:48:22.000 Congratulations, sir.

01:48:23.000 Hopefully that pays your rent and you were being honest and you're not just lying to take money from me.

01:48:27.000 But you know, maybe some people will be helped.

01:48:31.000 Let's go.

01:48:32.000 Tina Collette says, I found a use for the pod.

01:48:34.000 We need people to make chips for electronics, free housing, meals, and four 10 hour days in a Silicon Valley 15 minute company town.

01:48:43.000 There you go.

01:48:43.000 Yeah.

01:48:45.000 The pod thing is so weird.

01:48:48.000 Someone should just like, ask for money for no reason at all.

01:48:52.000 Be like, I'd like to buy myself a pizza right now.

01:48:55.000 And then I will send you 20 bucks.

01:48:59.000 Maybe by the end of the show I'll do it, because I just gave away three grand.

01:49:02.000 Here we go.

01:49:03.000 Tdog says, watch Tucker Carlson, there is a loophole for migrants in the U.S. 1.00

01:49:06.000 Constitution.

01:49:08.000 Is there like a way to make it a marketing budget thing?

01:49:11.000 Like a way to market the show is that we just pay someone's rent every episode?

01:49:16.000 I think the word of mouth on that would work out.

01:49:18.000 I'm like, that's the best marketing ever.

01:49:19.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:20.000 Everyone's going to be like, dude, I'm watching that show.

01:49:23.000 I mean, yeah, that would probably.

01:49:25.000 Our marketing budget is now, you know, I was talking about this with some friends a long time ago because Casey Neistat did this thing.

01:49:33.000 He had a video where he's like, I was offered $25,000 to do a promo for the life of Walter Mitty or whatever that movie was with Ben Stiller.

01:49:41.000 And he's like, so we decided to take the budget of $25,000 and just go do like go deliver supplies to people like it was like a hurricane or earthquake or something.

01:49:49.000 And I was like, imagine if marketing was companies competing with doing the most good

01:49:54.000 for maximum exposure, like Mr. Beast style or something.

01:49:57.000 So Coca-Cola's like, we could spend $10 million on this commercial where, you know, or like Pepsi's

01:50:02.000 like, we could have Kendall or whoever, Jenner, give a Pepsi to a cop and spend millions of dollars 1.00

01:50:07.000 filming this. Or we film a video where it's literally just a guy in a Pepsi outfit being

01:50:11.000 like, instead of spending millions of dollars on a commercial, that would probably just be a waste

01:50:14.000 of your time. Pepsi is going to give the entire budget to, and then they go and they help like,

01:50:19.000 people with cataracts like you know like Mr. Beast did.

01:50:22.000 And then the goal of the advertising among companies would be, who could do the most good?

01:50:27.000 It probably wouldn't last forever, but I feel like it'd be a good marketing stint for a couple months where all these companies are like, we're gonna allocate our marketing budget to some, like, You know, like, you know, charitable expansion or something like that.

01:50:39.000 It makes me think of when, you know, your local dentist's office will sponsor the local baseball team.

01:50:45.000 And so they get, like, the plaque in the office and maybe the kid's jersey has, like, the dentist's logo on it.

01:50:49.000 But it's, you know, something directly to their community.

01:50:53.000 Maybe they get a tax write-up or something, but they're not running commercials.

01:50:56.000 They're just sponsoring, you know, youth sports.

01:50:59.000 Like Oprah style.

01:51:00.000 Like, you could bring people in and you buy them a cow.

01:51:03.000 Oprah would get cars for people, but you were chickens your phone.

01:51:06.000 Yeah chicken.

01:51:07.000 Yeah, we should do we get a lot Can we do an event where like we give everyone who attends a live chicken? 1.00

01:51:13.000 Chicken in every pot you actually literally do it Let's go the real hydro PX says Trump is a germaphobe Why would you want to have sex with a woman who is a porn star? 1.00

01:51:24.000 Alex, what is it? Phil has too much prejudice from stories about Trump. Oh, 1.00

01:51:30.000 you see prejudice. Like, listen, just because I think that Trump might have

01:51:36.000 actually had sex with the woman doesn't mean I condemn Trump for having sex with 0.99

01:51:39.000 a woman. Okay. Like just because I'm not condemning it. I'm not. 0.99

01:51:43.000 I'm not like, dude, you did the wrong thing and it's a bad... I'm like, man, look, if that's what you want to do, go get it, man.

01:51:49.000 I'm fine with it.

01:51:50.000 The idea that this is like some kind of like, oh, Trump's the bad guy and he's such a very bad man.

01:51:55.000 I don't care, man. 0.99

01:51:56.000 Go knock yourself out, man. 0.91

01:51:58.000 I don't, you know, I ain't mad at him for it.

01:52:01.000 Smashing Random Key says, why can't you just host Nick on your own website?

01:52:05.000 I'll explain a couple things.

01:52:06.000 For one, I don't do the booking.

01:52:08.000 Cassandra does booking for IRL and Lisa does booking for Culture War.

01:52:12.000 We didn't reach out to Nick.

01:52:16.000 Nick is an instaband for the most part.

01:52:18.000 You'll get censored, you'll get demonetized.

01:52:21.000 Then his fans will start sending you emails, and I thought it wasn't really his fans, but, you know, like, Elijah and Mary were convinced his fans actually do this.

01:52:31.000 Because, for whatever reason, I don't know.

01:52:32.000 So, okay, whatever.

01:52:33.000 Whether you think it's... But people who claim to be fans of Nick Fuentes will then send death threats, threats to, you know... Well, yeah.

01:52:40.000 Like, rape your children and do this stuff, and then when you try to do events, your insurance company is going to ask you about these things, then they're going to have requirements for security.

01:52:48.000 So people just genuinely don't want to have him on. 0.98

01:52:51.000 I think it's also fair to say that when, like, Jake Shields tweeted out, uh, he told me that I lied like a Jew, I think that instantly got a bunch of people to be like, nobody wants to book you when you do this stuff.

01:53:02.000 It has nothing to do with whether you're insulting people for being Jewish or whatever.

01:53:06.000 YouTube will ban you for any invective targeting a race based on their race, or ethnicity.

01:53:11.000 That's just it.

01:53:13.000 So the issue for having Nick on our own website is also saying, why don't you cancel an episode of your show and do an exclusive on your website instead?

01:53:21.000 It's like, because we do the show live on YouTube every night, we always have, and so we've not really thought about changing the structure of the show to accommodate one guest.

01:53:29.000 When the reality was Jake Shields asked us to have him on and I said, yeah we'll get banned if we do that, but if we do it as a debate it'll work.

01:53:38.000 And then we actually thought it would be the biggest show ever if Laura Loomer came on because she's Jewish and very pro-Israel. 0.95

01:53:44.000 She was unable to do it, but we all agreed.

01:53:47.000 And the sponsors we reached out to were super excited for it.

01:53:50.000 There are companies that wanted to get on board with it.

01:53:52.000 And we basically talked to a bunch of different platforms.

01:53:55.000 Everyone said it was a great idea.

01:53:56.000 Totally fine to host on YouTube with no issues.

01:53:59.000 And then we were like, okay, we got to find somebody else.

01:54:01.000 And then all the anybody else we could find were things that weren't really a big show.

01:54:06.000 It would be like, to accommodate Nick and Jake, we would find someone with 15,000 followers who would do it, because the other people who challenged them to a debate, who we reached out to, were like, they backed out and they didn't want to do it.

01:54:17.000 And then Jake texts me, or whatever, and I'm like, dealing with running a company with the 50 plus employees or whatever, and hosting two shows.

01:54:24.000 I don't get back to him because I don't typically handle booking, and then he lost it because we didn't book him right away.

01:54:29.000 So it's like, why don't we host Nick on the website?

01:54:31.000 That's like saying, How about we host a special episode, members only, on the website that we could do?

01:54:37.000 Because otherwise, it's like, we have to pay the bandwidth cost and all that stuff, and like, sure, I guess, but I don't do that for anybody.

01:54:44.000 Just so he can be racist on the internet, too.

01:54:47.000 I mean, he's allowed to be if he wants to have a debate or a conversation.

01:54:50.000 It's fine, but it's like... But it's like, why don't you accommodate Nick more than you've accommodated any guest you've ever had on the show?

01:54:56.000 And it's like, Well, I mean, we got Nick, Milo, and Ye, a private jet from L.A.

01:55:02.000 to D.C.

01:55:02.000 Because last time you walked out on us, dude.

01:55:06.000 I don't care that he walked out on us.

01:55:07.000 I respect that, you know, he's in the position where Ye is going to walk out. 0.96

01:55:11.000 But I'll just say this publicly, and nobody knows this, but it was $100,000 to bring him on in the first place with Ye and Milo.

01:55:18.000 Because we cover all travel accommodations for all our guests.

01:55:22.000 And when they're like, we're going to do this big show, we're running this campaign, it's one of the biggest things ever, I was like, Guys, you tell us what your travel costs are going to be from L.A.

01:55:31.000 and how we make this happen.

01:55:31.000 to D.C.

01:55:33.000 And it's not an issue of us being like, we're going to spend any amount because we love Ye.

01:55:38.000 The only way we can make this really is if, like, we get a direct flight on our own time.

01:55:44.000 And I said, we're going to have to book private if that's the case.

01:55:46.000 And it was like 80-something, I think, round trip on this jet.

01:55:49.000 And that's one of the reasons we know that it was staged, because they left on a different

01:55:53.000 jet that night.

01:55:55.000 And it's like, okay, dude, like, we booked a PJ for these guys.

01:55:58.000 So when he's talking about, I can get a PJ and get out of here, I'm like, what are you

01:56:01.000 talking about?

01:56:02.000 Like, what?

01:56:03.000 We rented him a house.

01:56:04.000 So it's like, why would you accommodate Nick Fuentes?

01:56:06.000 Ask him about the $100,000 private jet we got him to fly here, and then he walked out on the show because he was working for Ye at the time. 0.56

01:56:11.000 Like, dude, we bend over backwards to accommodate things that people don't normally want to accommodate.

01:56:18.000 Like, when Jake said he wants to come on the show with Nick, I said, okay, we can't do it because we'll get banned, but here's how we can figure it out, if we can do it like a debate.

01:56:24.000 And then he just, like, here's what happens.

01:56:27.000 We bring Nick on with Ye, Ye storms off.

01:56:29.000 I get it, Nick's not gonna stick around for that.

01:56:31.000 But that was expensive to pull off.

01:56:33.000 Then, when it comes to Jake, he's like, I wanna come out with Nick again.

01:56:37.000 I was like, okay, we're gonna try again, because we know many people, like, look what we did with Alex Jones.

01:56:42.000 Alex Jones gets, like, nuked from everywhere.

01:56:45.000 We have him on the show with Michael Malice, and then YouTube deletes the episode.

01:56:48.000 So what did I do?

01:56:49.000 I immediately called up Michael and Alex again and said, come back on the show, and let's do it again.

01:56:53.000 They took down the first episode, let's see if they take down the second episode.

01:56:56.000 By the way, three years later, they did.

01:56:58.000 They took it down.

01:56:59.000 So we're booking Ye, Milo, and Nick, and they're like, we will come on your show, and this is mostly like Ye, and it's like, yeah, but I'm busy, I gotta fly, if I'm gonna fly, I'm not gonna, like, here's how it works, I can't explain what their schedule is, I can explain what my schedule is.

01:57:16.000 I work Monday morning to Friday evening, it's two different shows, the morning show and the nightly show.

01:57:22.000 So I get hit up by like Valuetainment, PBD.

01:57:25.000 Cool guys.

01:57:25.000 I'm a big fan.

01:57:26.000 And he says, can you come on the show Saturday?

01:57:28.000 I'm like, I can't fly commercial because that would mean waking up.

01:57:32.000 I go to bed after the show on Friday.

01:57:34.000 It wraps at 10.

01:57:36.000 And then if I go home and I go to bed, I can maybe catch a flight at 6 a.m.

01:57:40.000 Be in Miami by like 3 or 4 if we're lucky and then maybe do a show in the evening and then catch a flight Sunday morning to fly back home and then have to work all over again.

01:57:50.000 I'm like, bro, that's too brutal.

01:57:52.000 But if after the show on Friday I get a private jet, which from DC to Miami round trip is usually between $20,000 and $30,000, we can make something like that happen.

01:58:03.000 That's why you need a PJ. 0.89

01:58:04.000 So when it comes to someone like Ye, who's doing all of this ridiculous flying around and he's in LA, typically it's why, okay, well, the only way we can make it happen is if we have a plane waiting for us and we run into it, fly there, come on the show, wake up, get on the plane and fly back.

01:58:18.000 And I'm like, we'll make that happen.

01:58:19.000 But that's not enough for Nick Fuentes.

01:58:21.000 That's not enough for him.

01:58:22.000 We have to also just bend and capitulate to every whim, create a special show on the website, something we've never done.

01:58:29.000 Oh, spare me, dude.

01:58:30.000 It is impossible to deal with these guys.

01:58:34.000 TheAuthenticHydroPX says, Tim, please get some Culture War episode set up related to the Groipers. 0.99

01:58:38.000 Destiny is a good option since he likes going after Groipers like Nick. 0.83

01:58:42.000 Yeah, we didn't want to do just Destiny because it's been done.

01:58:45.000 What I really wanted was an actual, like, historian, pro-Israel, maybe even pro-Zionist, who was going to sit down and actually have real facts and have a real debate with Nick Fuentes.

01:58:58.000 Jake Shields is ancillary to it.

01:58:59.000 He was organizing it.

01:59:01.000 And we couldn't get anybody.

01:59:03.000 There are personalities and political commentators who are like, I'll do it.

01:59:07.000 And I'm like, yeah, look, man, with all due respect, I don't mean to be mean to smaller personalities, but of course they will.

01:59:13.000 Of course, somebody who doesn't have a big following will come on a show with a million plus subscribers to debate Nick Fuentes on this issue, which will get a million plus views.

01:59:22.000 I even told Jake, I'm like, if we get this right and we get like a real Zionist and pro-Israel personality to like debate you, we're talking like five million hits.

01:59:30.000 It'll be like the biggest podcast in a long time.

01:59:31.000 He's like, I completely agree.

01:59:33.000 We couldn't pull it off.

01:59:34.000 So, you know, there you go, man.

01:59:37.000 Transparency is transparency can be.

01:59:40.000 Let's grab a couple more super chats here.

01:59:43.000 Where are we at?

01:59:44.000 YouTube's going... I'm not your buddy guy!

01:59:46.000 Whoa.

01:59:47.000 Hello.

01:59:47.000 He's back.

01:59:48.000 He says Trump didn't do it.

01:59:50.000 Stormy's saying Trump said she reminded him of his daughter before they did clearly shows the White House is directing this.

01:59:59.000 Oh, interesting.

02:00:01.000 Brewmaster Monk says Jay Dyer asked him to host a debate between you and Adam Green on the Culture War podcast.

02:00:08.000 Who's that?

02:00:11.000 I mean, the thing with Adam Green is that it's an individual who's done several sort of debates with lesser known figures that in those debates, I think he's demonstrated that there's not really much familiarity with basic philosophical concepts, fallacies, argumentation.

02:00:28.000 So I don't think that would be a very fruitful debate.

02:00:32.000 Oh, there you go.

02:00:35.000 Let's go!

02:00:36.000 We'll grab a couple more here.

02:00:38.000 And where are we at?

02:00:39.000 Maybe we can get, like, one more good one.

02:00:40.000 YouTube's really laggy.

02:00:43.000 Vinyl says, Hey Tim, I'm making a Pokemon-like video game set in the Old West.

02:00:48.000 Apacese is going to be a story of freedom from multiple viewpoints.

02:00:52.000 Without being woke trash, it can be wish-listed on Steam or found on my channel.

02:01:00.000 Well, good luck, sir, with your video game!

02:01:03.000 Freedom Stacker, last one, says, I got a bill from the IRS for $182.

02:01:06.000 No idea why, but like you said, I'm going to pay it.

02:01:10.000 I don't have a tax attorney on retainer because it's too expensive for you to fight.

02:01:15.000 Now for me running a company, if we got a tax bill, we just send it to our accountant and lawyer and they say, we'll figure it out.

02:01:20.000 And then it either gets negotiated down or we figure out where it came from and we realize that it was already paid.

02:01:25.000 We actually had one issue where we got a tax bill.

02:01:28.000 Gave it to our tax attorney.

02:01:31.000 Was it a tax attorney?

02:01:32.000 And they were just like, this is a mistake.

02:01:34.000 Contacted the office, sent in a letter, and then it was gone.

02:01:36.000 They were like, it was an error.

02:01:38.000 And we found out where the error was.

02:01:40.000 It was actually our fault.

02:01:41.000 We caught it.

02:01:42.000 And then we told them like, hey guys, here's the receipt.

02:01:45.000 This was a mistake.

02:01:45.000 And they went, ah, okay, don't worry about it.

02:01:47.000 And then, it was something like that.

02:01:48.000 I don't know all the nitty gritty.

02:01:51.000 That was the gist of it.

02:01:52.000 But the IRS is coming for you, exactly as described.
