Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Alex Jones Ordered To Pay $4M, Biden Declares MONKEYPOX Emergency w-James Lawrence

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:41.000 you dollars in his ongoing defamation damages trial.

00:00:48.000 The reason I say it's a defamation damages trial is because Alex Jones never actually got a real jury trial.

00:00:53.000 He was found in default, according to the judge, to the court.

00:00:57.000 He did not comply with discovery.

00:00:59.000 According to Jones himself, he did.

00:01:01.000 So this is a particularly interesting case.

00:01:03.000 They considered a rare ruling that a judge just simply said, nah, you lose, moving on.

00:01:08.000 And now the jury says 4.1 million, which is also interesting because, you know, as much as it's bad for Alex Jones, I mean, the dude is very, very wealthy.

00:01:18.000 He can probably easily pay that.

00:01:19.000 But the big news comes tomorrow when they assess punitive damages.

00:01:22.000 I heard a lot.

00:01:23.000 Some people are saying can be upwards of $9 million 8.8 or something like that.

00:01:28.000 Other people have said for we will see tomorrow.

00:01:32.000 But there's a lot we need to break down with this case.

00:01:34.000 And it is very interesting.

00:01:35.000 And the other big news.

00:01:37.000 Joe Biden has declared a monkey pox health emergency.

00:01:41.000 Okay.

00:01:42.000 This one's gonna get nasty.

00:01:44.000 I'm sorry.

00:01:44.000 Just be prepared.

00:01:46.000 We're gonna be talking about the news.

00:01:47.000 We're gonna do our best to keep things, you know, family-friendly.

00:01:50.000 But this is a really, really insane story, what's going on with Monkeypox in this country.

00:01:55.000 I'm sure most of you know.

00:01:56.000 So we'll get into that.

00:02:48.000 Hey, great to be here.

00:02:50.000 Thank you for having me.

00:02:51.000 Do you want to give people a little bit of information about who you are?

00:02:54.000 And you know, you were in the news recently.

00:02:56.000 Sure.

00:02:57.000 So I am a lawyer at Envisage Law in Raleigh, North Carolina.

00:03:02.000 Been practicing there since I left the Trump administration in January of 2021.

00:03:10.000 I had the opportunity to serve in the Department of Health and Human Services in the immediate

00:03:14.000 Office of General Counsel and was outgoing Chief Counsel of the Food and Drug Administration,

00:03:20.000 the FDA, under President Trump.

00:03:23.000 And then you recently, you're actually involved in a bunch of lawsuits pertaining to Vax mandates

00:03:29.000 and also you were representing Alex Berenson in the Twitter lawsuit.

00:03:34.000 That's right.

00:03:35.000 I was Chief Counsel for Alex in his lawsuit against Twitter, which recently settled.

00:03:41.000 Well, we'll talk about all that.

00:03:42.000 We also have Mary Morgan of Pop Culture Crisis.

00:04:03.000 Nick Koenig, Super Chat.

00:04:04.000 My favorite Skyrim character is a rogue that dual wields daggers.

00:04:08.000 Just to get that out of the way in case.

00:04:09.000 Really?

00:04:10.000 Super Chat.

00:04:10.000 For now, it is.

00:04:11.000 I like to play on Legendary difficulty with, uh, with like, um, sneak attack survival mode.

00:04:16.000 So there's no, there's no fast travel and it's really hard.

00:04:20.000 It like fighting one guy becomes, yeah, sneak attacks.

00:04:22.000 Have you played the VR Skyrim?

00:04:23.000 Negative.

00:04:24.000 It's so much fun.

00:04:24.000 It looks good.

00:04:25.000 Yeah.

00:04:25.000 The bow and arrow.

00:04:26.000 I see people like, you can grab NPCs and bend their head and stuff, like it's getting crazy.

00:04:30.000 Yeah, dude, yeah.

00:04:31.000 Right on.

00:04:32.000 And Lydia, of course, on vacation, so Chris is here handling the show.

00:04:35.000 Hey, what's up, everyone?

00:04:37.000 All right, let's jump into that first story from Law & Crime.

00:04:41.000 Texas jury finds Alex Jones must pay more than $4.1 million to Sandy Hook victim's parents for calling the massacre a giant hoax.

00:04:50.000 This story is absolutely insane.

00:04:53.000 First, they say this is far lower than the figure parents had asked them to award $150 million in damages, which their lawyer found a fitting penalty for Jones's decade of deceit.

00:05:05.000 December will mark the 10th anniversary of the massacre.

00:05:08.000 The jury, which reached the verdict on the first day of deliberations, has yet to award punitive damages and will return on Friday to consider that unresolved matter.

00:05:16.000 Yeah, it is.

00:05:16.000 size of the award has been an issue at trial as the judge issued a rare default judgment

00:05:22.000 against Jones before trial for failing to comply with his discovery obligations.

00:05:28.000 That's not that's weird, right? You're a lawyer. Yeah, it is. It's not something you see a

00:05:32.000 lot in litigation. Typically, if there are disputes between parties on discovery. So,

00:05:39.000 for example, if a plaintiff or a defendant is seeking documents or answers to interrogatories

00:05:48.000 or other questions and discovery, there's a process that you go through, right?

00:05:53.000 The counsel for both parties confer with one another.

00:05:57.000 They try to understand what the disputes are.

00:06:01.000 And ultimately, the parties go to the court and ask the judge to weigh in on whether or not to order the party to produce those documents.

00:06:13.000 And I'm not familiar with the specific details of Alex's case in the procedural history of how the default judgment happened, but it is a rare thing

00:06:25.000 for a court to not provide any sort of intermediary sanction. Right. Less than

00:06:34.000 default, which would be negative inferences, perhaps from an evidentiary standpoint

00:06:41.000 or other sanctions that the court might levy, but not going straight

00:06:46.000 to a finding of liability.

00:06:48.000 Do you think Alex Jones can appeal this and potentially win?

00:06:55.000 Potentially, there's a ground for appeal, for sure.

00:06:59.000 If, again, and not knowing what the Texas state court precedents are.

00:07:05.000 Uh, right now, but there in theory, yes, would be a, uh, a basis to appeal the finding of, of liability, which is the threshold finding for, uh, the damages that flowed out today in the $4 million or so verdict.

00:07:24.000 So this is the story from NPR.

00:07:26.000 Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ruled liable in Sandy Hook defamation case.

00:07:31.000 This is from November 15th, 2021.

00:07:34.000 They said a Monday ruling from a Connecticut court which found Jones and other defendants liable for defamation brought swift reaction from an attorney or any of the families.

00:07:41.000 Now, this is a Connecticut court.

00:07:43.000 The story about the $4 million is a Texas court.

00:07:44.000 non-compliance the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis

00:07:49.000 noted that the defendants failed to turn over financial and analytics data that

00:07:52.000 were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs. Now this is

00:07:55.000 a Connecticut court. The story about the four million dollars is a Texas court. I

00:07:59.000 know that he's got other defamation cases coming from these parents but the

00:08:05.000 reason I bring up that story I believe it's it's the same one but I'm not

00:08:09.000 entirely sure.

00:08:10.000 What I know is that, or what I can say, Alex told me they comply with everything, but no matter what they gave, they were told they weren't complying.

00:08:20.000 I'm not saying you need to believe Alex Jones.

00:08:22.000 I'm just saying that's what he's asserting.

00:08:23.000 Now the question I have is, if a court orders you to hand something over that you don't have, and then issues a ruling in default, like what do you do?

00:08:33.000 Let's operate from the assumption that Alex Jones did comply with Discovery as he claims, and they rule in default anyway.

00:08:39.000 What do you do?

00:08:40.000 Oh, you go to the court and you explain all the things that you did to produce documents.

00:08:46.000 Oh, yeah.

00:08:47.000 You try to create, you show the court, for example, if you're searching for documents across a corporation, for example, what search terms you used, how you searched for documents, how you collected them and ultimately produced them.

00:09:06.000 You know, you offer the opportunity for somebody to come and do a forensic analysis to make sure you're not hiding something, right?

00:09:14.000 Those are the steps that you could go through to sort of prove that you've complied with your obligations.

00:09:21.000 But that doesn't sound like that opportunity was provided in this particular case, which, again, is going to potentially raise uh, uh, appealable issues.

00:09:33.000 So I wonder if this is just political, you know, $4 million.

00:09:37.000 I'm just going to come out and say it for Alex Jones.

00:09:39.000 He said in trial, something like anything more than 2 million would

00:09:43.000 like damage the company or something.

00:09:45.000 I don't believe it.

00:09:47.000 I think a $4 million ruling, Alex probably left, got in his car, and then went, yes!

00:09:53.000 Because a lot of people are posting on Twitter, this may as well have been a victory for Alex, $4 million, because he makes so much money.

00:10:01.000 Now, he doesn't make as much money as he used to, which is another big element of this trial, of this case, is that they're trying to claim people are just... It's so frustrating dealing with, you know... People are saying, in the trial, they said Alex Jones made $165 million in sales.

00:10:17.000 Wow, Alex Jones made $165 million.

00:10:19.000 No!

00:10:20.000 That's gross! 0.88

00:10:22.000 What's the net?

00:10:23.000 What's the profit?

00:10:24.000 What's the take-home after taxes?

00:10:25.000 Like, how much money does men actually have?

00:10:27.000 A lot. 1.00

00:10:28.000 That's why I'm saying, like, yeah, four million sucks. 0.94

00:10:31.000 But for someone as well-off as Alex, as big as his empire is, he could probably pay that. 0.79

00:10:35.000 How long do they take to pay that?

00:10:36.000 Do they give him, like, a year?

00:10:37.000 Every month?

00:10:38.000 Does he have to make payments?

00:10:39.000 Is it a bulk payment?

00:10:40.000 People don't know anything about this stuff.

00:10:42.000 He's probably never going to pay them.

00:10:43.000 Like, there was a viral post, there was a post on Reddit, and then they were like, I think it was related to OJ Simpson.

00:10:50.000 They said, you know, it was a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit.

00:10:53.000 He's only paid like $100,000 after like 30 years.

00:10:56.000 Why?

00:10:57.000 Because you can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.

00:10:59.000 Oh.

00:11:00.000 What are you gonna do?

00:11:01.000 Yeah, and people arrange their assets in ways that can be advantageous in that regard.

00:11:07.000 I think the Enron executives, right, in the 2000s who had multi-million dollar verdicts that were levity against them who bought large houses in Florida, if I'm not mistaken, or if I'm remembering correctly, because essentially they could put their assets into a home that couldn't be levity against to collect against a judgment.

00:11:31.000 Yeah, they can't take your house from you, can they?

00:11:33.000 It depends on what state you're in in terms of how far a judgment creditor can go to collect against you.

00:11:40.000 Like I said, I think in the case of the Enron executives, there are special rules in Florida that That allow people to put their assets into homes.

00:11:51.000 Weren't they like buying like a hundred million dollar house and then being like, sorry, I'm in bankruptcy, you can't take my home from me.

00:11:57.000 I don't remember if it was that much, but it was big houses and lots of money.

00:12:03.000 And then when they start a bunch of home renovations, they just start the renovations, and they're like, sorry, all the money's out, even though it hasn't been built yet.

00:12:11.000 I don't know.

00:12:11.000 It's easier than that.

00:12:13.000 I mean, here's one thing you could do, right?

00:12:15.000 Let's say you want to engage in corrupt behavior.

00:12:20.000 Let's say you have plans to be corrupt, and you know that you can't take the money from an organization.

00:12:26.000 Say, like, I don't know, you're an elected official.

00:12:29.000 Under Obama.

00:12:29.000 And you want people to pay you for favors.

00:12:32.000 So you'll create something called like a global foundation.

00:12:36.000 And then as let's just say your secretary of state or something like that.

00:12:39.000 Under Obama.

00:12:40.000 Under Obama.

00:12:41.000 Yeah.

00:12:42.000 And then and then all of a sudden hundreds of millions of dollars are pouring into your

00:12:44.000 foundation which is unrelated to you.

00:12:46.000 Right.

00:12:47.000 You know that's one way or or or let's say you want to do large private equity deals

00:12:52.000 with China but you are an elected official.

00:12:55.000 So you have your son fly on the government plane with you just hypothetically of course

00:13:00.000 and then share bank accounts with him.

00:13:02.000 Even though I have no idea how that works legally.

00:13:05.000 But share phone numbers.

00:13:07.000 That way, if you were the one communicating, you can always just say it was your kid.

00:13:10.000 And that way, you know, you can try and cover up.

00:13:14.000 Those are things that somebody might do.

00:13:15.000 Actually, just for the sake of clarity, I'm literally referencing what Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton have been accused of doing.

00:13:22.000 In no way trying to encourage people to engage in any of those behaviors.

00:13:25.000 Right, the Clinton Foundation.

00:13:26.000 Right.

00:13:27.000 Took a lot of money.

00:13:28.000 And then when she lost, all of a sudden the Clinton Foundation stopped getting, like, money just dried up, and just... And then they disbanded it, and now it's back?

00:13:36.000 Is that right?

00:13:36.000 Yeah, they were like, hey, we're gonna win again, or something like that.

00:13:38.000 When you said that one thing, Alex, or someone that feels like they've been wronged by the process can go to the court and see if they can rectify, like, discovery or whatever, is the court just basically the judge in this case?

00:13:50.000 It is the judge, right, right.

00:13:52.000 So if you have a discovery dispute, You try to work it out with the other party first.

00:13:57.000 You do something called meet and confer with the other side to see if you can resolve the dispute without having to get the judge involved.

00:14:05.000 But ultimately, if you're unsatisfied with what the other side is doing in terms of the documents that they've given or the answers that they've given Discovery, you go to the court and you move to compel and you ask the judge to order them to Order them to provide responsive documents or answers.

00:14:26.000 But what if you don't have it?

00:14:27.000 What are you supposed to do?

00:14:32.000 There's nothing you can do other than, again, what I said earlier, which is show the court the efforts that you've undertaken to pull back the curtain.

00:14:42.000 The judge can just be like, ah, you're lying.

00:14:45.000 Potentially, yeah.

00:14:47.000 Yeah, I think people need to realize everybody thinks you live in this world of laws and that the laws dictate what will happen.

00:14:54.000 They don't.

00:14:54.000 They're more like guidelines.

00:14:56.000 I think it's funny when people say, you know, because Carrie Lake is big in the news and they're talking about her election.

00:15:00.000 There was a funny article that said if Carrie Lake gets her legally impossible wish, Donald Trump will be ineligible to run for president because you can only win twice or whatever.

00:15:08.000 And I was like, legally impossible?

00:15:11.000 I like how they say that as if like the Declaration of Independence was legal as it pertained to the British Parliament.

00:15:17.000 Like, no, a bunch of guys drank and then said, you know what?

00:15:20.000 We're declaring independence.

00:15:22.000 And the crown was like, you can't, that's not legal.

00:15:24.000 And they're like, we don't care.

00:15:26.000 So at a certain point, humans just make decisions to do things.

00:15:29.000 And so we might sit back and be like, you can't do that.

00:15:32.000 The court says this.

00:15:33.000 And it's like, bro, the judge is going to do whatever they want.

00:15:35.000 And good luck.

00:15:36.000 If you get a bad judge, what are you going to do about it?

00:15:38.000 Well, that's why you have an appeals process, right?

00:15:40.000 I know, it's cool.

00:15:41.000 But what if you get a bad Supreme Court?

00:15:43.000 Yeah, well, right?

00:15:44.000 Or they reject it?

00:15:45.000 It's just... No, that's true.

00:15:47.000 I mean, we live in a fallen world and in a legal system that has limitations on its ability to do justice.

00:15:56.000 Yeah.

00:15:57.000 But I will say, just in defense of the legal system in some ways, we are blessed and fortunate in the United States.

00:16:06.000 Where we do, I believe in most cases, civil cases that I've been involved in, certainly judges that are trying to do their best to reach the right result.

00:16:19.000 So we do have that blessing here in the United States that a lot of other countries don't have.

00:16:24.000 No, I mean, we got a pretty good system.

00:16:26.000 I think the issue is just we're getting to this point culturally where you have two distinct Americas.

00:16:31.000 You have the multicultural democracy, you have the constitutional republic, you now have judges.

00:16:36.000 You know, I understand.

00:16:38.000 Sometimes you'll get a judge, and I've watched Law & Order, right?

00:16:41.000 Right.

00:16:42.000 They'll be like, this is good news, you know, we've got Judge Smith, who's, you know, not a fan of X or Y, which means we'll probably be able to get, you know, these things filed or something like that.

00:16:51.000 They'll say stuff like that.

00:16:52.000 Right.

00:16:53.000 And I've been involved in legal issues in the real world where I've been advised, if you file in this jurisdiction, you're going to have this judge and he really hates this stuff.

00:17:02.000 And so it's like, okay, you take those things into consideration.

00:17:05.000 That's to a degree understandable, the perceptions of the judges and how they interpret the law.

00:17:09.000 But we're getting to the point where these judges are like, I hate Alex Jones. 0.98

00:17:13.000 He's an evil man. 0.97

00:17:14.000 CNN told me so. 0.97

00:17:16.000 I'm not going to let him win no matter what he does.

00:17:18.000 We're getting to that point.

00:17:20.000 I'm not saying this of the current judge.

00:17:22.000 Some people are accusing... I'm saying quite literally.

00:17:24.000 Like, I'm saying it's hypothetical.

00:17:25.000 We're getting to the point where your judge is going to be like, I don't know or care who you are.

00:17:28.000 You're MAGA.

00:17:30.000 And that's obviously not a place where we need to be.

00:17:34.000 And that's a disturbing place.

00:17:36.000 Yup.

00:17:36.000 It's a scary place.

00:17:37.000 That's where we're at.

00:17:38.000 If anything, Alex Jones was the one who got defamed, because after his Sandy Hook comments, they twisted that into saying that he also claimed Parkland didn't happen and all sorts of things didn't happen.

00:17:50.000 None of that was true.

00:17:52.000 They brought up how, like, some of the stuff he was saying was him reading comments from users and news articles.

00:17:59.000 And so it's like, There should also be room for Alex Jones to be a performer because that's partly what he is.

00:18:07.000 I don't like the idea that, look, the Sandy Hook families, these are private individuals.

00:18:12.000 You don't get on a big platform and start accusing private individuals of stuff.

00:18:16.000 You shouldn't do it for anybody, right?

00:18:18.000 I didn't watch that, what he said at the time.

00:18:21.000 Yeah, I mean, he had his own employees were telling him to stop.

00:18:24.000 What did he say exactly?

00:18:25.000 Is it public?

00:18:26.000 Is it on YouTube?

00:18:27.000 I don't think that you're allowed to repost what he said on YouTube.

00:18:31.000 It's not, and I would not be able to quote exactly what he said.

00:18:35.000 But I know there were various instances of him accusing them of being crisis actors or saying they weren't real.

00:18:39.000 But a lot of it was him being like, oh, look what this person said, and look what this person said.

00:18:45.000 And then they've also, they also accused him of saying things like, if you really did lose your children, I'm so sorry.

00:18:51.000 And they were like, what does that mean?

00:18:52.000 And they were saying those statements as well were part of the defamation.

00:18:55.000 What you got to understand about private individuals, you can't, like the standard is really low for defamation against a private individual.

00:19:03.000 Oh, I shouldn't say it's really low, it's just really high if you're a public figure.

00:19:06.000 So, what they tried doing with the Covington Catholic kids was claiming they were involuntary public figures.

00:19:12.000 Like, that's absurd.

00:19:13.000 But Alex didn't get a jury trial in this, as to whether he defamed them, so we didn't even go over that stuff.

00:19:18.000 Jones was instructed that he was not allowed to say that he didn't do it.

00:19:24.000 He was not allowed to defend himself at all.

00:19:26.000 They said he wasn't allowed to say he complied with discovery and he wasn't allowed to say he didn't defame

00:19:31.000 them.

00:19:31.000 And he wasn't allowed to say that he didn't mean to call them and cause them intentional harm.

00:19:34.000 Why?

00:19:35.000 That's crazy.

00:19:37.000 And on the first issue about not being able to say he wasn't liable, that was already decided.

00:19:44.000 It was a trial on damages, so that's not out of the ordinary at all, right?

00:19:52.000 Because if you're only there to try damages, the issue of liability is already decided.

00:19:56.000 It is out of the ordinary.

00:19:57.000 It was rare that there's a default ruling in this case.

00:19:59.000 Correct, correct, right, right, exactly.

00:20:00.000 So the fact that he never got an opportunity to be like, here's what happened.

00:20:03.000 Correct.

00:20:04.000 That being said, I gotta tell you guys, before the trial even happened, I know people who, people have told me, it's hearsay, but they were like, I heard so-and-so said to Jones, you have to stop doing this.

00:20:17.000 And then in the trial, they actually brought up communications where employees at InfoWars were telling him like, why are you doing this?

00:20:23.000 It's not worth it.

00:20:24.000 You need to stop.

00:20:25.000 And he didn't.

00:20:26.000 And, you know, people have brought up that he was drinking.

00:20:30.000 Probably got arrogant.

00:20:31.000 I mean, this dude was making a lot of money.

00:20:32.000 He was making what like, here's the crazy thing.

00:20:35.000 They said it was like 16, I'm sorry, $165 million in sales.

00:20:40.000 $165 million in sales.

00:20:41.000 I also heard Scuttlebutt was like, he was making like $10 million a month.

00:20:46.000 So if you're doing $165 million per year, so if you're making $10 million, imagine what his profit margins are.

00:20:54.000 Some speculate it was around 70%.

00:20:57.000 Makes sense.

00:20:58.000 It's a lot of money.

00:20:59.000 It's a lot of money.

00:21:00.000 And I'll tell you this too, like the 4.1 million, I know it's bad.

00:21:04.000 There's precedent, like they're trying to get a political victory or whatever it is people think.

00:21:08.000 The thing about this 4.1 million is I'm willing to bet Jones got crypto or something.

00:21:15.000 You know, he knew this was coming.

00:21:18.000 So you have to imagine that if you know it's coming and you're running a- working a company, you're gonna start- you're gonna ramp up everyone's salaries, your kids are gonna get their inheritance very quickly, and then they're gonna come for you and be like, it's all gone.

00:21:30.000 You're ordering your affairs strategically at that point, though there are remedies potentially that these plaintiffs can take to try to trace that money to some extent.

00:21:43.000 Well, let me ask you then, as a lawyer, if Alex Jones paid a million dollars to an employee, could they then get that money back?

00:21:51.000 Well, the problem is, what did the employee do with it right after they got it, right?

00:21:58.000 Let's say that someone was contracted to produce a documentary, and they're a documentary filmmaker, and Alex said, we'll give you a million dollars to produce this massive documentary, and they said, you got it.

00:22:11.000 Let's say it's a third-party company that's contracted with Alex Jones.

00:22:16.000 Could you—how would you get the money from them?

00:22:18.000 I mean, they're not involved in your lawsuit.

00:22:20.000 You can't just take the money from them.

00:22:21.000 They're doing work, right?

00:22:22.000 Yeah, I mean, provided it's a legitimate arms-length transaction that's not, right, fraudulent.

00:22:29.000 How would you—no, yeah, sure.

00:22:30.000 It's like an invoice came in and it said, here's the proposed budget for the film.

00:22:33.000 Right.

00:22:33.000 And they said, we're going to pay you the million dollars.

00:22:36.000 What do you do?

00:22:38.000 And that gets into the interplay of potential bankruptcy questions, which I'm not an expert in bankruptcy, but fraudulent transfers and things of that nature where creditors will go and try to But I'm saying not fraudulent.

00:22:55.000 Let's say Alex Jones has never done a million-dollar documentary before.

00:22:58.000 Gets sued, and then he decides to do one.

00:23:01.000 Now he's broke because he spent all the company's money.

00:23:04.000 You sue him and he says, I don't have any money.

00:23:05.000 They say, where is it?

00:23:06.000 Well, you spent it on running the company.

00:23:08.000 And then you show a legitimate invoice and transaction and budgeting plan for this big project.

00:23:13.000 Is that what you think is happening with the upcoming documentary?

00:23:17.000 What, he's doing that?

00:23:18.000 That is not his, actually.

00:23:19.000 Well, he has a documentary.

00:23:20.000 Alex's war is not related to InfoWars.

00:23:22.000 He didn't contract that in any way.

00:23:24.000 I'm not referring to anything about Alex Jones.

00:23:26.000 I'm saying, like, in the event that you get sued, couldn't you just spend the money?

00:23:32.000 Well, whoever's hands it belongs to yeah, that's their private business, right?

00:23:37.000 And then you couldn't take I couldn't take your money, you know, if I'm doing Ian and right now

00:23:43.000 I and again, I think what would happen is You you would have to apply the you would have to apply the

00:23:50.000 law in the case law in the jurisdiction where you're in in his

00:23:55.000 case in Texas as They're going to go and try to collect against him

00:23:59.000 personally. They're gonna try to collect against these Then you're going to have a overlay with the bankruptcy court and how, uh, the bankruptcy process plays out and which, uh, who's going to get paid and what priority, because I imagine he has other creditors, not just these judgment creditors that are out there that, uh,

00:24:21.000 That he owes money to, right?

00:24:24.000 Yeah, it's a $4 million judgment.

00:24:27.000 I'd be surprised if they actually even get any money.

00:24:29.000 I mean, they might get a little bit, but what's gonna happen?

00:24:33.000 Right, because it sounds like they might have to get in line, right?

00:24:36.000 Exactly.

00:24:36.000 With a lot of other people in the bankruptcy process.

00:24:39.000 And then there's questions of like, let's say Alex Jones just says, I declare bankruptcy, I liquidate the assets, I pay everybody off, and then he takes a lucrative contract working for a different company.

00:24:49.000 And so sure, out of the money they're paying him, maybe they only pay him a small, you know,

00:24:54.000 six-figure salary. So he only has to pay a certain percentage, but then he gets to live luxuriously,

00:24:59.000 you know, through other people. Like, he's Alex Jones. He could take a cell phone for 20 bucks

00:25:03.000 and film a video and get a million views. So it's, you know.

00:25:06.000 Let's jump over to this next story, We'll move off the Alex Jones stuff.

00:25:09.000 That was big news, and I thought it was really important considering, you know, what's been going on.

00:25:13.000 But this is the big national story.

00:25:14.000 We have this from CNN Politics.

00:25:16.000 The Biden administration has declared monkeypox a public health emergency.

00:25:22.000 Uh oh.

00:25:23.000 The announcement came during a briefing with the Department of Health and Human Services.

00:25:26.000 The administration has been criticized at times for its handling of the outbreak.

00:25:30.000 Since the first U.S.

00:25:31.000 monkeypox case was identified mid-May, more than 6,600 probable or confirmed cases have been detected in the United States.

00:25:38.000 Cases have been identified in every state except Montana and Wyoming.

00:25:42.000 The declaration follows the World Health Organization announcement last month that monkeypox is a public health emergency of international concern.

00:25:48.000 The WHO defines a public health emergency of international concern as an extraordinary event that constitutes a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response.

00:26:02.000 Okay, well, look, according to, I think it's the World Health Organization, 95% of those who have been infected have been men who have sex with men.

00:26:12.000 And so there was a story where they were saying, you know, actually, I'll just put it this way.

00:26:17.000 In New York City, if you want to get a vaccine in order to be eligible, you have to be a man who, a male who has intercourse with males and have had multiple anonymous partners.

00:26:29.000 That's how you qualify for the vaccine.

00:26:31.000 They're not just giving this vaccine to anybody.

00:26:32.000 They also said male identifying so... Really?

00:26:35.000 I guess women can get the monkeypox vaccine too. 1.00

00:26:40.000 As long as you're claiming to get with a bunch of guys, I guess.

00:26:44.000 Dude, this is like a struggle session.

00:26:46.000 They're like, you know what you gotta do if you want the vaccine?

00:26:49.000 Here's our guidelines.

00:26:50.000 Go get them.

00:26:51.000 Super base that Montana and Wyoming don't have it.

00:26:55.000 I mean, why do you think all the Californians want to move there?

00:26:58.000 Yeah, but it's not so much that it's super base.

00:27:01.000 Like, I drove through Wyoming and I thought I was gonna run out of gas.

00:27:06.000 Because I'm driving down this highway for like 200 miles and it's just road and then there was this small shed looking building and I'm like I got like 50 miles left in the tank and I'm driving and then my friend goes look and there's two there's two gas pumps that I couldn't even tell were gas pumps and I was like whoa and then we pulled over immediately and it was like This dude in his house with like a little dog walking around and he had gas.

00:27:29.000 And I was like, well, okay.

00:27:31.000 So yeah, it's really hard to transmit diseases in environments like that.

00:27:34.000 Beautiful though.

00:27:36.000 Very, very beautiful stuff. 0.87

00:27:37.000 You pointed it out that 95%, at least is the number I've heard of them, it sounds like it's an STD transmitted by guys having sex with guys.

00:27:44.000 It's not an STD.

00:27:45.000 That's a very important distinction.

00:27:46.000 People have been saying that because of what they're reporting.

00:27:49.000 It's just that for obvious reasons, People who have multiple anonymous partners, they're touching each other a lot and they're sharing bodily fluids a lot.

00:27:58.000 So there's a higher propensity to... Bro, I'm telling you.

00:28:01.000 I guess that's true because the common cold isn't an STD and you could get it by having sex with someone with it.

00:28:05.000 Exactly.

00:28:06.000 And if you go and shake the hand of somebody who's got it and then you get it, you're gonna be like, I swear I wasn't going to these things, man.

00:28:11.000 So is it because it's not a blood disease, it's a skin-to-skin contact disease that it's not considered an STD?

00:28:16.000 Yeah, it's not an STD.

00:28:18.000 I want to point out that just because someone declares something doesn't mean that it's actually real.

00:28:22.000 Like, I declare this piece of obsidian is blue.

00:28:24.000 It's still black. 0.94

00:28:27.000 Well, hold on.

00:28:28.000 I mean, he's saying it's an emergency.

00:28:30.000 But that opens up the FDA, we were talking about this before the show, to start approving medicine for emergency authorized use without proper testing channels if it's considered an emergency.

00:28:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:28:41.000 So, I mean, the PHE being declared does open the door for medications, vaccines, other testing, diagnostics to be brought onto the market through, instead of going through the traditional FDA approval process, through the abbreviated EUA process, the Emergency Use Authorization process.

00:29:05.000 What bothers me the most is that we've been softened, I think people have been softened to what it means a medical emergency actually is since COVID.

00:29:12.000 Like, that people are willing to to tend that this might actually be a real emergency.

00:29:18.000 I mean, it might be a real emergency.

00:29:20.000 Well, might is a different story.

00:29:22.000 Now, I'm open to talking about it.

00:29:23.000 I'm saying in my opinion.

00:29:25.000 Like, the reality is the government has declared it, so they're claiming it is.

00:29:28.000 My point is, People can get monkeypox from touching other people.

00:29:33.000 And so while it's spreading predominantly among one particular group, it could find its way, if people don't take it seriously, into general population.

00:29:43.000 Like, regular people will start popping up and be like, how did this happen?

00:29:45.000 And then all of a sudden you've got bumps or whatever.

00:29:48.000 There's some crazy posts on social media where they're like, if you're going to a kink event, just put band-aids over your bumps. 0.96

00:29:54.000 It's like, well, that's why it's spreading.

00:29:56.000 So I don't know, man.

00:29:58.000 I don't know what they're going to do.

00:29:59.000 It's the same thing.

00:30:00.000 This is a little bit of the same thing that's going on in Arizona.

00:30:02.000 It's taken two days to count this vote in 2020.

00:30:05.000 For the first time, it takes days to count votes and people have been softened to it.

00:30:09.000 It's like it had been in 2018.

00:30:11.000 So it's a pretty new phenomenon where it's taking multiple days to count a city's votes.

00:30:16.000 Well, it's not.

00:30:17.000 And also 2000.

00:30:19.000 Maybe.

00:30:19.000 Yeah.

00:30:20.000 And that was like, well, yeah, the recounts.

00:30:22.000 Right.

00:30:22.000 So it has happened, but like, I don't want to see people get like, like muted to the, the, what a real emergency is because we keep being told that we're in a state of emergency.

00:30:34.000 We've like, I don't think we've ever not been in a state of emergency our entire lives.

00:30:38.000 Since September 11th, 2001, it's been an emergency every day.

00:30:41.000 Even before that.

00:30:42.000 I love this country, but it's... How many emergencies are currently active in the United States?

00:30:48.000 There's probably dozens, because they never just end them.

00:30:52.000 They're like, oh yeah, 9-11, emergency, and then they just leave it.

00:30:55.000 And then it's an emergency, and then they can do all this crazy stuff.

00:30:57.000 And it's it's threatening to our liberties, right?

00:31:01.000 It's a constant state of emergency, as we saw in with the, in many ways, unprecedented restrictions on individual freedom that happened in this country during the COVID-19 pandemic during the PHE.

00:31:14.000 More than 30 national emergencies remain in effect.

00:31:16.000 Wow.

00:31:17.000 What's the oldest one?

00:31:18.000 So they say, uh, the legislation was signed by President Gerald Ford on September 14th, 1976.

00:31:23.000 As of March 2020, 60 national emergencies have been declared, more than 30 of which remain in, uh, in effect.

00:31:30.000 So, uh, you know, we're just sitting there.

00:31:32.000 Okay, there's 42 currently in effect.

00:31:35.000 We have them.

00:31:36.000 Let's take a look.

00:31:37.000 List of national emergencies in the United States.

00:31:41.000 All right, let's see.

00:31:41.000 We got 42 still in effect.

00:31:43.000 Look at this, Liz.

00:31:44.000 It's huge.

00:31:44.000 Let's go all the way down.

00:31:46.000 All right, under Biden, you've got a security emergency, invocation of emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage and movement of Russian-affiliated vessels to United States ports.

00:31:57.000 And we got this one Biden protecting certain property of Afghanistan Bank.

00:32:04.000 Duh.

00:32:05.000 For the benefit of the people of Afghanistan, you've got sanctions. 1.00

00:32:09.000 You got sanctions, sanctions, sanctions, sanctions.

00:32:12.000 You got Trump.

00:32:13.000 Trump's emergencies are still in effect.

00:32:14.000 Current, current, current.

00:32:16.000 So this one ended under Trump.

00:32:18.000 Here's a current Trump one.

00:32:19.000 Declaring a national emergency concerning the novel coronavirus.

00:32:21.000 Okay, that we understand.

00:32:23.000 Blocking property and suspending entry of certain persons contributing to the situation in Syria.

00:32:28.000 Let's go back pre-Trump. 0.79

00:32:29.000 Let's go to Obama.

00:32:30.000 Here's a current Obama.

00:32:31.000 One blocking property relating to Venezuela.

00:32:34.000 You've got Central African Republic.

00:32:37.000 I mean, these are all emergencies, man.

00:32:39.000 A lot of them are sanctions.

00:32:41.000 Geez, like 90% of them are sanctions.

00:32:42.000 Public health under Obama.

00:32:44.000 Yeah, that was H1N1.

00:32:46.000 So the green ones are still going on.

00:32:48.000 A lot of sanctions.

00:32:48.000 It's like all sanctions, basically, to be fair.

00:32:51.000 Legal.

00:32:51.000 What's that one?

00:32:52.000 Legal.

00:32:52.000 Protecting the development fund for Iraq and certain other property in which Iraq has interest.

00:32:57.000 What does that mean?

00:32:59.000 It's an emergency.

00:33:00.000 We got to make sure that the Iraqis get their land.

00:33:02.000 What the heck is going on?

00:33:04.000 Dude, that's been in effect since 2003.

00:33:05.000 Wow.

00:33:07.000 That's a George Bush emergency there.

00:33:09.000 That's crazy, dude.

00:33:10.000 H1N1 isn't current, right?

00:33:12.000 No, no.

00:33:13.000 I mean, I think it's still it's still around and stuff.

00:33:15.000 Under Bush it a trade.

00:33:17.000 August 17, 2000.

00:33:18.000 Continuation of export regulations and emergency declared.

00:33:21.000 Okay, it's not an emergency anymore.

00:33:23.000 Iraq's taken care of. 0.98

00:33:24.000 We're not even our troops have pulled out like that.

00:33:26.000 We got it.

00:33:26.000 No, they don't.

00:33:27.000 Yeah, we're still technically we're supposed to have by now but arms current proliferation of weapons of mass destruction emergency under Bill Clinton 1994.

00:33:36.000 What does that mean?

00:33:38.000 I mean, obviously, it's a summary, but what is that?

00:33:39.000 Oh, here we go.

00:33:40.000 A trade emergency.

00:33:40.000 Carter sanctions still in effect, blocking Iranian government property.

00:33:44.000 That's not a surprise.

00:33:45.000 OK, you know what?

00:33:45.000 I'll say this.

00:33:46.000 I get it.

00:33:47.000 It's mostly sanctions.

00:33:48.000 I understand.

00:33:49.000 But there's like seizure under Biden.

00:33:52.000 The people of Afghanistan or whatever.

00:33:53.000 The emergency declarations give them just like blanket powers to do a bunch of crazy stuff.

00:33:59.000 Yeah, and we saw that on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:34:03.000 Unprecedented restrictions on individual freedom.

00:34:05.000 Lockdowns.

00:34:07.000 In my home state of North Carolina, the legal state of play was, if you didn't have a reason to be out of your house, If you weren't going to the grocery store or trying to get medical care, then you could be held liable for a criminal misdemeanor.

00:34:26.000 You see that video of that lady who owned the restaurant?

00:34:29.000 And she set up an outdoor seating area and then California shut it down. 1.00

00:34:32.000 But right next to it was a movie production company's outdoor seating area that was up and running.

00:34:37.000 Yeah, she was crying making a video about it because it destroyed her business. 1.00

00:34:41.000 You will own nothing and you will be happy.

00:34:44.000 I heard from so many people in 2020, as this was starting, people who had invested their livelihoods into starting businesses in my home state.

00:34:56.000 And they were completely devastated by the restrictions and by the lockdowns.

00:35:02.000 And then you had PPP money that was being supposed to go to these people.

00:35:07.000 And one of the dirty little secrets of the legal profession is a lot of that money, I can tell you, went to law firms in 2020 and 2021.

00:35:18.000 And law firms, by the way, that never locked down or shut down.

00:35:21.000 And as I came back into private practice, learned many of them had record years in 2020.

00:35:26.000 Good for them!

00:35:27.000 We're always happy when lawyers make money.

00:35:31.000 I'll speak to this as somewhat of a traitor to my class, but it's disgraceful that working class men and women, who that money was really there for to keep them making ends meet, were losing their livelihoods while partners in mid-sized law firms were paying down their beach houses.

00:35:52.000 That's a disgrace.

00:35:53.000 I'm sorry.

00:35:54.000 I just had a crazy thought. 0.99

00:35:56.000 What if the elites, the wealthy, are trying to strangle out the working class, then fund advocacy for communism by going to the working class and being like, man, your life sucks.

00:36:11.000 Like, yeah, communism, look at this, you know?

00:36:13.000 No, no.

00:36:14.000 Well, yeah, yeah, that's probably right.

00:36:16.000 And then these people... That's an old, ancient practice.

00:36:18.000 Strip people of their needs and then promise to give them back. 0.99

00:36:21.000 Yeah.

00:36:22.000 Yeah, what was it?

00:36:22.000 What was it?

00:36:23.000 Uh, Fast and Furious 4, I think it was?

00:36:26.000 The villain in that, in that, uh, movie?

00:36:28.000 It was brilliant.

00:36:30.000 He was like, he was like giving, uh, he was helping the locals, giving them stuff, and he was like, if you give them something, then they fear having it taken away, and then they're your slaves, or something like that.

00:36:40.000 So it's kind of like, take people who are in dire straits and give them just enough,

00:36:46.000 and then you can threaten to take away what very little they have.

00:36:49.000 We've got to get back to viewing the federal government as something that we are allowing

00:36:53.000 to exist. It's basically a union that we as citizens of our states are allowing to function.

00:36:59.000 It's not there to control us.

00:37:01.000 It's there because we want it to be there.

00:37:04.000 It doesn't have authority over us.

00:37:06.000 We are it.

00:37:06.000 It is part of us.

00:37:08.000 And it's supposed to work in synergy with us to make sure that no one state goes rogue and starts destroying its citizenry.

00:37:14.000 That's basically the function of the federal government.

00:37:18.000 And yet we have a very powerful, as we all know, central government that really regulates all aspects in many ways of our lives, right?

00:37:29.000 Or at least if you're in a commercial endeavor of any kind, an alphabet soup of agencies.

00:37:35.000 red tape and regulations and all that comes with it. The professional class that's around it, the

00:37:41.000 consultants, the lobbyists, and yes, the lawyers that are a part of that ecosystem, right?

00:37:49.000 So yeah, I mean, the original intent of the republic, as you pointed out, right,

00:37:56.000 right?

00:37:57.000 A limited federal government with most of the powers being reserved to the states and to the people, where they could act locally and govern themselves.

00:38:09.000 Well, I got good news.

00:38:10.000 We're going to jump to this next story.

00:38:11.000 From Legal Insurrection, DeSantis Suspends State Attorney for Refusing to Enforce Bans on Child Surgeries and Abortion Restrictions.

00:38:22.000 This morning, Ron DeSantis, he did this announcement where he basically said this George Soros-backed state attorney was Outright refusing to enforce the law in a blanket statement.

00:38:36.000 And he was like, look, it's one thing if you use your discretion on an individual basis.

00:38:39.000 Like, okay, this guy shouldn't be charged with this crime for this one reason.

00:38:42.000 Here's why.

00:38:44.000 It's another thing when you come out and you sign a document saying, I will never enforce the law.

00:38:48.000 So Ron DeSantis, as the executive of Florida, suspended this state's attorney and then put in a temporary replacement to actually enforce the law.

00:38:57.000 This is tremendous.

00:38:58.000 George Soros recently issued a statement.

00:39:02.000 He published an op-ed saying he will not back down from this.

00:39:05.000 He will keep funding district attorneys to reform the system.

00:39:09.000 Or I should say, he will keep fighting to reform the system of prosecution because it's not working for our communities.

00:39:15.000 It's creating distrust between the people and the police. 1.00

00:39:18.000 The crazy thing is, this guy is either completely evil or dumb as a box of rocks. 1.00

00:39:23.000 And considering he's as wealthy as he is, I don't think he's that stupid. 1.00

00:39:27.000 If you look at what's happening in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, yeah, I don't think anyone's going to be convinced this plan is working. 0.99

00:39:35.000 You look at San Francisco, and they recalled that guy, Joseph Boudin or whatever his name is.

00:39:39.000 They recalled him.

00:39:40.000 The new person who came in says they're going to go after all the drug dealers now.

00:39:43.000 So clearly whatever it is that Soros is thinking he's funding is pissing everybody off.

00:39:48.000 Ron DeSantis, he's draining that swamp.

00:39:51.000 It's one of the first major moves I've seen from any executive to go against these corrupt state's attorneys.

00:39:59.000 We'll see if anyone goes after the district attorneys, to the extent that they can.

00:40:04.000 But this is huge.

00:40:04.000 Huge, huge victory for accountability.

00:40:07.000 And maybe we'll start seeing some stuff.

00:40:08.000 And then on top of that, You know, I'll just add this forthrightly to you guys.

00:40:12.000 Donald Trump said he was going to fire everybody.

00:40:14.000 I dig it.

00:40:15.000 Ron DeSantis just fired a guy.

00:40:17.000 I mean, he didn't really suspended him.

00:40:19.000 But, uh, I think that's fairly promising for if Ron DeSantis ends up running for president 2024.

00:40:26.000 Yeah, I really agree with that.

00:40:28.000 I got mixed feelings about authorities using their power to just fire somebody that's not bending to their will.

00:40:37.000 But there is a reason for that.

00:40:38.000 It's not his will, though.

00:40:39.000 It's just the law.

00:40:41.000 It's not DeSantis' personal...

00:40:44.000 People voted for a legislature who then passed bills and had them signed.

00:40:49.000 Then it got a sufficient amount of votes.

00:40:51.000 And then Ron DeSantis is like, okay, sign the bill.

00:40:54.000 And then this guy, he issued a statement.

00:40:55.000 He was like, I am signing a statement saying I will never enforce that law.

00:40:58.000 So hopefully if DeSantis has integrity, even if it's a law he personally disagrees with, he would do the same thing.

00:41:05.000 Yeah.

00:41:06.000 Yeah.

00:41:06.000 I think the second, what I was, the second part of what I was saying is that sometimes the authority, the reason they have the ability to fire somebody that's not bending to their will is because, you know, we need authority.

00:41:17.000 We need a strong leader.

00:41:18.000 At least society, our species since the dawn of time has like an authority, the military commander, the commander in chief, the one that's like, put them up against the wall, whatever.

00:41:27.000 They're like, you're not going to, you're not going to support the military cause.

00:41:30.000 You're a danger to our freedom and our survivability.

00:41:33.000 I have the ability to do with you what I will.

00:41:36.000 But the power here that's being exercised, it's limited.

00:41:38.000 Ron DeSantis doesn't decide what the law is.

00:41:41.000 He does, however, it is within his duties to make sure that if other people within government aren't doing their jobs, if they're derelict of duty or negligent, that he removes them, and that's in the Constitution.

00:41:53.000 I'm so surprised to see such a bold move because it feels like, especially with the Republican Party, they just sit on their hands.

00:41:59.000 Now Ron DeSantis is like, he came out and he just went at it.

00:42:02.000 And he was like, nah, get him out of there.

00:42:04.000 Here's, boom, executive order.

00:42:05.000 Did it say, is this like a temporary suspension?

00:42:07.000 They're trying to make it permanent, but they've put someone else in place.

00:42:10.000 What do you think about it?

00:42:12.000 Yeah, I mean, it is, you know, it's interesting with the left.

00:42:15.000 The left is supportive of local control and localism when it suits its purposes.

00:42:22.000 And then it's supportive of centralized control and authority when it doesn't.

00:42:28.000 So, you know, here you've got somebody who's a prosecutor who's essentially involved in prosecutorial nullification, right?

00:42:36.000 Essentially, you've got a duly enacted statute that's passed by the Florida legislature, signed into law by the governor, and this prosecutor is refusing to enforce the law, as you said, Tim, right?

00:42:49.000 He's not just exercising discretion on individual cases.

00:42:54.000 And he's basically giving the finger to the people of the state of Florida by refusing to enforce the law.

00:43:02.000 So, you know, it is good to see someone stand up and say, no, you are going to do this.

00:43:09.000 You are going to follow the law.

00:43:12.000 You are going to apply it.

00:43:13.000 And, you know, in a red state where there are these blue enclaves, right?

00:43:19.000 This is a red state and this is the way we do things.

00:43:21.000 Let me read this quote.

00:43:23.000 In June of 2021, he signed a letter saying that he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors.

00:43:31.000 Sex changes are really disfiguring these young kids, and he said it doesn't matter what the legislature does in the state of Florida.

00:43:37.000 Florida has said you cannot perform sex change operations on children.

00:43:42.000 This guy said he would not enforce a prohibition on that.

00:43:46.000 I just gotta say, I don't think anyone predicted, because we had Rick Santorum here, I don't think anyone predicted that a slippery slope meant within 10 years you would have children getting sex change surgeries.

00:43:59.000 Now, a bunch of news outlets, they refer to it as gender-affirming healthcare, and I take issue with that because that is not what Ron DeSantis said specifically.

00:44:07.000 Ron DeSantis is citing surgery, operations, like going to children.

00:44:14.000 I don't think society would tolerate breast implants. 1.00

00:44:16.000 That's a gender-affirming treatment, right? 0.94

00:44:18.000 No, gender is a psychological thing. 1.00

00:44:21.000 Once you start to carve up physical bodies, it's sex.

00:44:24.000 Or it's at least non-sexual surgery.

00:44:28.000 Gender is an idea. 1.00

00:44:29.000 It's a concept.

00:44:30.000 It's a way of feeling.

00:44:31.000 Once you start cutting into it, man, that's another conversation.

00:44:34.000 I don't disagree that gender is a feeling.

00:44:37.000 That's the part of how you identify.

00:44:40.000 But gender identity is different from gender.

00:44:42.000 So these are postmodern definitions of what gender is.

00:44:46.000 Gender was used since it started coming into prominence in the 50s to specifically mean biological sex.

00:44:52.000 That's very confusing because sex means sex.

00:44:55.000 Gender means gender. 0.84

00:44:56.000 So they're different words with different meanings.

00:44:59.000 That's very important.

00:45:01.000 So that's actually a new concept.

00:45:03.000 That's so funny.

00:45:04.000 The divorce between the word gender and sex is new.

00:45:07.000 So that you can have the identity be anything you want.

00:45:09.000 But I thought it used to be your sex was what your gonads basically and then your gender was how you identified and it didn't have to be... No one identified as anything.

00:45:19.000 They were just what they were.

00:45:21.000 In the 50s it appeared that this idea of gender was like in the 50s or something like that.

00:45:25.000 So the word gender has been used for a long time.

00:45:28.000 It comes from genre, actually.

00:45:31.000 I was looking into the history of the word.

00:45:33.000 It came into prominence in the 50s with people like John Money and... Was Kinsey the 50s?

00:45:41.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:45:41.000 Seamus knows all about this, and so I started reading a bit about it.

00:45:46.000 Gender was used as a word.

00:45:48.000 Academically, they were trying to say it's like the social constructs around it, but colloquially, for most of English-speaking humans, it just referred to your biological sex.

00:45:59.000 Kinsey was 1947.

00:45:59.000 It was when he founded the Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and what was the other one?

00:46:06.000 So most people, when they say gender, on your legal form, it says gender, M or F.

00:46:12.000 If it says gender and it's a reference to male or female, they're not talking about how you feel.

00:46:16.000 They're asking you about your body and you know why they do?

00:46:18.000 Because this is really important.

00:46:20.000 In the early 1990s, there was a law that was passed.

00:46:24.000 When they would do medical testing, they wouldn't do it on women. 1.00

00:46:27.000 And then all of a sudden, people started realizing something.

00:46:30.000 You know those painkillers we use during surgeries?

00:46:33.000 Women keep complaining that it's not working. 1.00

00:46:35.000 Hey, wait a minute.

00:46:36.000 Hypothesis.

00:46:37.000 Maybe these drugs don't work on women. 1.00

00:46:40.000 Sure enough, they found out that certain painkillers work on men and women differently.

00:46:44.000 And so then there was a law passed saying when you're doing medical testing, you have to have female and male trials.

00:46:49.000 This is why it's very important they know what your biological sex is.

00:46:53.000 Now that they're changing the definition of gender and then changing it back. 1.00

00:46:56.000 It's the funny thing.

00:46:58.000 We're getting to this point where there's a reason that we ask these questions.

00:47:04.000 If someone collapses on the street and a medic runs up, it actually is important that they know if you are male or female for a variety of reasons.

00:47:14.000 For instance, if a man screams and says, oh my gut, oh man, it's hurting right in my pelvic area.

00:47:22.000 Well, there's a very different reason that may be happening compared to why it would be happening to a woman. 1.00

00:47:27.000 But, it could be appendicitis, and it could be a bunch of other things.

00:47:31.000 And so there are some things, for obvious reasons, men and women have different organs, that a pain in a certain area could be one thing or not, obviously.

00:47:40.000 But my point is, there are certain medical treatments they will give to a male and not a female. 0.65

00:47:45.000 And if they can't tell or they don't know, or they don't know that a person is taking drugs for, you know, gender affirmation, as they're calling it, well, then you could be seriously screwed up when a medic gives you a medication that is contraindicated by whatever it is you're taking.

00:47:59.000 Yeah, you've got to make sure that people don't... There's a story of a woman that was following Google Maps or something, or Apple Maps, into the desert, and it was telling her to turn left, go straight, and she just kept following the computer into the desert.

00:48:10.000 Her car broke.

00:48:10.000 It was the wrong direction.

00:48:12.000 So if someone just is like, Thinking gender is all that matters, what I think is all that matters, they're basically driving their car on this automated concept.

00:48:20.000 If it gets to a point where you need to perform life-saving medical treatment on that person and then you do the wrong sex because they've conflated what they feel with gender and their sex, then it's just like it could end up being catastrophic for someone.

00:48:32.000 Well now the life-saving medical treatment that they're referring to is gender affirmation because essentially They're holding these kids hostage in a way saying like they're going to commit suicide if they don't get these treatments Do you want them to commit suicide?

00:48:50.000 Yeah, they're holding them hostage and and and the I think what's what's what the crazy thing about it is if you look at countries Scandinavia, for instance, they've stopped doing all this There was a big article I was reading the other day.

00:49:02.000 Sweden is like, they're doing mental therapies and stuff right now.

00:49:07.000 Because perhaps a solution to someone who's got suicidal ideation is not affirming what is driving their ideation.

00:49:14.000 That's interesting.

00:49:15.000 Isn't Scandinavia, or maybe just the Netherlands, where assisted suicide is one of the most permissible?

00:49:21.000 I don't think the Netherlands is Scandinavian.

00:49:23.000 Are they?

00:49:24.000 I don't think so.

00:49:24.000 No.

00:49:25.000 It's like Finland, Sweden, Denmark.

00:49:25.000 I was thinking it was either in Scandinavia or in the Netherlands.

00:49:30.000 So it's a like like Sweden had this big move where they were like, we're not gonna do this I don't know exactly where they're at now But I know people have been talking about the Scandinavian countries being like we have found that it's not actually reducing suicidal ideation And so that's my thing.

00:49:44.000 It's like seriously, we don't want kids harming themselves.

00:49:46.000 Has it been found that it worsens?

00:49:48.000 Suicidal ideation.

00:49:49.000 I don't think no.

00:49:50.000 I I don't know.

00:49:52.000 I don't keep up with that Yeah, I've read some articles saying it's like, no difference.

00:50:00.000 But obviously, it depends on what you read.

00:50:01.000 If you read advocacy websites, they're gonna say, of course it's helping reduce these things.

00:50:05.000 And it's like, well, maybe, I don't know.

00:50:07.000 What I do know is, what these other countries have written, news articles from these countries that I've read, is that the mentality is, if someone is experiencing suicidal ideation, Affirming what it is that is contributing to it is not necessarily an appropriate solution.

00:50:22.000 So if someone is feeling, you know, let's just say dysmorphic, a general dysmorphia like anorexia or eating too much or, you know, they want amputations or whatever, they were like, Giving a person who is suffering from some kind of anxiety what they're asking for is probably not the appropriate way to stop them from feeling this way.

00:50:42.000 It's kind of like if your kid is afraid that there's a ghost under their bed and you're like, yeah, there is a ghost under your bed and then you start building their room to protect from this fake ghost and then the kid goes even crazier because it starts to think really that that...

00:50:55.000 I agree that you do need to affirm these people.

00:50:58.000 You need to affirm their existence.

00:50:59.000 People need to be heard and understood and listened to.

00:51:02.000 That's what these people need more than anything.

00:51:04.000 You don't need to start... I mean, put the knives down for a minute and listen to these people.

00:51:08.000 Like Jazz Jennings, we were listening to a video from her last night.

00:51:10.000 She just released a book.

00:51:11.000 I don't necessarily agree with what's in the book.

00:51:13.000 Well, the book's been out for a while.

00:51:14.000 So she's had a book out for a while, but she needs to be listened to.

00:51:17.000 We all need that.

00:51:18.000 And it's not like it's do it or the world blows up, but to survive and for the betterment of humanity, people need to be listened to and understood.

00:51:26.000 Jazz Jennings' person had parents who seemed to impose this identity since a very young age, like two years old, when They see their child who they think is a boy wearing a towel on his head and then they're like, okay, you're a girl now.

00:51:45.000 And then put them on TV and we're just supposed to accept that as normal.

00:51:51.000 She was on a show.

00:51:53.000 Yeah, that's our entertainment now.

00:51:55.000 This is what concerns me about Jazz in particular.

00:51:58.000 She put out a video saying that since two, two years old, she's felt dysphoric or whatever.

00:52:05.000 And I'm I have concerns first memory is even that early.

00:52:09.000 Yeah, I that's insane, you know, like I have Can you guys remember when you were

00:52:15.000 I remember peeing on my brother one time.

00:52:17.000 I think I was like four and he was like, yeah, he was two.

00:52:20.000 But being two years old, I don't know.

00:52:22.000 I don't know.

00:52:23.000 So, so look.

00:52:24.000 Certainly nothing as complex as that.

00:52:26.000 I do have questions though.

00:52:27.000 Like if we're going to talk about Florida and the parental rights and education stuff and the rights of the parents to choose what's right for their kids, then you have to define what your moral line is.

00:52:38.000 Because if we're then going to question the parents of Jazz Jennings, it's like, Do we then intervene in their family as a governmental body?

00:52:44.000 Do we say the government must intervene or stop that if we think it's wrong?

00:52:48.000 Or do we then say we don't want the government intervening in what parents think is right for their kids?

00:52:54.000 And there's questions of if a kid really is, you know, suicidal.

00:53:00.000 And I'm not talking about two years old.

00:53:02.000 And doctor prescribes something.

00:53:05.000 Do we as the layman then say we've decided to intervene?

00:53:08.000 I mean, let's keep our morality logical, right?

00:53:13.000 In the same path.

00:53:15.000 I'm on high alert against medical tyranny and for-profit surgeries on kids is devastating.

00:53:20.000 It's really bothering me.

00:53:21.000 But I think people also should have the freedom to do what they want with their bodies.

00:53:24.000 Now, we talk about a kid.

00:53:26.000 Kids don't have the ability to consent to things.

00:53:28.000 The parent's basically consenting for them.

00:53:30.000 And so, is it ethical for a 45-year-old parent to have a 13-year-old kid cut?

00:53:36.000 I don't know.

00:53:37.000 What about the kids that have adopted that identity before they're adults, and then once they're adults, they continue to keep that identity and seek medical procedures because of it?

00:53:52.000 I don't think that that person has informed consent of the procedures that they're seeking.

00:53:57.000 Well, I don't think children can consent.

00:54:01.000 But once they're adults and they've already been groomed to believe that this is who they are, they don't have the ability to make an informed, consensual decision about the medical treatment.

00:54:14.000 I don't agree with that at all.

00:54:15.000 Yeah, I can't make that decision for others.

00:54:17.000 That's like a one-on-one thing.

00:54:18.000 That negates everyone's life.

00:54:21.000 You know, look, I don't think children should be getting sex change surgery.

00:54:24.000 I think that's, like, we're going down a dangerous path.

00:54:28.000 But to say that, you know, you're 16 and you had an experience that informed you of something and you chose to follow that so you can't be adequately informed because of that... Okay, Jazz Jennings, since two years old...

00:54:40.000 the parents have been in charge of that. Right. From what I can tell. A two-year-old is not going

00:54:45.000 to come out and... And then Jazz Jennings, 18 and up, now has the ability to consent to further

00:54:53.000 medical interventions. Well, I think Jazz would... After being groomed so thoroughly into believing

00:54:59.000 that that is their identity. I...

00:55:03.000 I see what you're saying, but the challenge— It doesn't follow.

00:55:09.000 There's like a hard line for obviously like, don't give sex changes to kids, that I can't believe is actually a political debate that's happening right now.

00:55:16.000 And to what extent does the government intervene when someone prescribes a medical treatment to a child you don't agree with?

00:55:22.000 So, I'm at a loss, to be honest.

00:55:25.000 I think it's great what Ron DeSantis did.

00:55:28.000 I think that if you've got a law that's been duly elected, and a bill has been sworn, this is the question.

00:55:35.000 This is the question for social media.

00:55:37.000 What is YouTube's position on the fact that in Florida, it is a crime to perform a sex change on a child?

00:55:44.000 Are YouTubers advocating for illegal activity now? 0.92

00:55:48.000 No, what are the rules?

00:55:51.000 So I'm saying, for me, I look at what's going on in Florida.

00:55:56.000 We have consistently said over the past year, parents should have the final say in what their kids are, you know, and how to raise their kids.

00:56:04.000 And then you get people coming out and saying, OK, well, my doctor said my kid should undergo this treatment.

00:56:08.000 And it's like, no, I think you should.

00:56:10.000 Wait a minute.

00:56:11.000 I just said parents should have final say.

00:56:12.000 Yeah, but there's obvious lines, though, like if a parent was abusing the child and then we have to decide what those moral lines are.

00:56:18.000 Simply put, Florida has decided no sex change surgery for kids.

00:56:21.000 Yeah, I mean, and in North Carolina, I can tell you, we had an interesting proposal made by the Duke Law School around homeschooling.

00:56:31.000 And my wife and I homeschool our kids.

00:56:35.000 And there was a proposal that was put forth to amend North Carolina's child abuse laws to define something called educational neglect.

00:56:45.000 So what's educational neglect under this proposal?

00:56:48.000 Well, when you start to boil it down, it really means if you're not providing an education that a judge deems to be adequate.

00:56:56.000 So ultimately, you know, judges make the call, but it becomes, you know, sort of inherently politicized.

00:57:04.000 So am I Am I giving my child an adequate education if I'm teaching them that there are only two, you know, male and female? 0.94

00:57:13.000 Am I giving my child an adequate education if I'm teaching them, you know, real American history, right?

00:57:20.000 Like, so, you know, to your point... Are homeschooled students subject to standardized testing?

00:57:29.000 It depends on the state.

00:57:30.000 In North Carolina, you have to test, I think it's every two years.

00:57:34.000 That's messed up.

00:57:35.000 I'm totally opposed to that.

00:57:37.000 To run a home school.

00:57:39.000 But, you know, do you draw lines to say for what parents can do, right?

00:57:44.000 In terms of, okay, there's a difference between how you're going to educate your kids.

00:57:48.000 Right?

00:57:48.000 And your control over the education of your kids versus making these kinds of decisions about your child's future and the ability of society to second-guess those decisions.

00:57:59.000 We have a cultural problem.

00:58:00.000 It always comes down to this, and this is what I want people to understand.

00:58:04.000 If a parent says, I'm going to show my kids graphic images, it's like, okay, well now you've got questions.

00:58:10.000 Child abuse.

00:58:10.000 a violation of law. Does the law define showing lewd images to children? It does. You can't do

00:58:15.000 that. However, the problem is these parents are going to doctors and the doctor saying this is

00:58:20.000 what you have to do. Not only that, but often when the parents defy the doctors, the state comes in

00:58:25.000 in certain states and punishes the parents. So now you've got this. This is a, this is,

00:58:29.000 I'm telling you, man, when I talk about the bifurcation of this country in Florida, for

00:58:34.000 For instance, sex change on children, not allowed in.

00:58:39.000 In other states, I mean, even in Texas, we saw that case where the mom wanted to transition the son, the little boy, and the dad didn't, and there was like the judge ruled in favor of the mom.

00:58:49.000 So, you've got these stories about parents who are like, a doctor said it, so they agreed.

00:58:56.000 And then what we're supposed to say is like, well, you know, far be it for me to say what the child should get if a doctor is saying it.

00:59:04.000 But then you have parents who can't even decide in some areas.

00:59:07.000 When the doctor says it, they say no, now they get in trouble.

00:59:10.000 The inverse is Florida.

00:59:12.000 It's illegal to do.

00:59:14.000 Like, we're getting to the point where you're gonna have two states next to each other.

00:59:19.000 One's gonna— Florida, completely illegal.

00:59:21.000 Then you're gonna have another state being, like, totally legal.

00:59:23.000 And then what, the mother's gonna kidnap the kid to bring him somewhere to get this gender-affirming healthcare? 1.00

00:59:27.000 Or what Florida refers to as prohibited child sex changes?

00:59:32.000 Even the language on what's happening is totally different.

00:59:35.000 It's kind of the way it's supposed to be, that every state gets to pick its own way of being.

00:59:39.000 And then we have a federal government to make sure that there are some things that are just off the books.

00:59:45.000 You can't drive 180 miles an hour anywhere in the country.

00:59:47.000 You can't kill people legally.

00:59:49.000 Speeding is, in my mind, more permissible than child sex changes. 0.93

00:59:53.000 Yeah, but Ian, you are incorrect.

00:59:55.000 There are places in this country where you can drive.

00:59:56.000 Yeah, I was being hyperbolic and off the hip. 1.00

00:59:59.000 That was stupid of me. 0.99

01:00:00.000 On private property. 1.00

01:00:01.000 You can go as fast as you want.

01:00:02.000 And they actually have permitted areas where they do high-speed testing, so... Well, the point is that there are... I'm being semantic on you, but sir... You did a good job, Tim.

01:00:10.000 Thank you for that.

01:00:11.000 There are things that the federal government will say, yo, state, you can't say that's okay.

01:00:14.000 Murder's not okay.

01:00:15.000 You can't say that in your state.

01:00:17.000 You know, you can't abuse your citizens, basically.

01:00:19.000 I don't know.

01:00:19.000 I don't know about that.

01:00:20.000 Is that true?

01:00:21.000 Well, I mean, that's... It really... You know, it's an interesting question in light of the Dobbs decision, right?

01:00:27.000 Because there are people on...

01:00:28.000 You know, the issue of abortion, who believe, and there were briefs that were submitted in that case, where people took the position that abortion is unconstitutional, just flatly, that unborn children are persons under the 14th Amendment.

01:00:44.000 and that all states have to treat those persons equally.

01:00:48.000 And so if a state would have to ban the murder of an unborn child,

01:00:55.000 so abortion is flatly prohibited nationwide under that analysis,

01:01:00.000 versus sort of the more classic conservative legal approach to the question,

01:01:07.000 which is I think what the court ultimately adopted in Dobbs, which is that the Constitution is just silent on this

01:01:13.000 question, and it's an issue for each individual state to decide.

01:01:17.000 But how do we... It's not silent.

01:01:19.000 But how does the... Well, we talk about it quite a bit.

01:01:23.000 And, you know, we talk about... I don't like to just... Abortion has been such a big topic on the show for the past several weeks, but a viable baby that can survive outside the womb...

01:01:33.000 Should be protected.

01:01:35.000 Gotta define viable.

01:01:37.000 Like, it can survive outside the womb.

01:01:39.000 With what, though?

01:01:40.000 Because, like, without a parent, without adults around it, it'll just die outside the womb until it's, like, nine.

01:01:45.000 Yes, quite literally, if a baby is taken out of the womb and placed on a table and it doesn't die right away, like, it is breathing, it is looking around, it is moving around.

01:01:55.000 Like, my point is, If a 30 year old man was lying on a bed, unable to move, we wouldn't be like, he's no longer viable, pull the plug!

01:02:06.000 We'd be like, no, that person has rights.

01:02:07.000 And that has to be, we have to figure out how to manage an individual who's been incapacitated.

01:02:11.000 The point is, If the Constitution protects individual beings, why would a viable baby not be protected the same as a comatose patient?

01:02:21.000 Whatever term you come up with, they're going to abuse the term.

01:02:25.000 So, viable, they could say a baby isn't viable because the adults around the baby are obligated to take care of it or else it will die.

01:02:35.000 Right.

01:02:37.000 Quite an old age, like, I don't know, when kids are capable of using reason to fend for themselves.

01:02:44.000 But that's why I brought up a comatose person.

01:02:46.000 Right?

01:02:47.000 There's already legal precedent on that.

01:02:49.000 So why would that not apply to a viable baby?

01:02:51.000 I think euthanasia is still incredibly common.

01:02:53.000 Yes, but you need, like, Terry Chavo comes up all the time.

01:02:58.000 But let's just reference, there's a person who gets in a car accident, and they're now in a coma.

01:03:06.000 And they're like, we don't know what's going to happen.

01:03:07.000 The person can't speak.

01:03:08.000 The person can't eat.

01:03:10.000 We can keep them alive.

01:03:12.000 You know, they still have rights. 1.00

01:03:14.000 You can't just kill them.

01:03:16.000 Next of kin can make decisions for them, depending on, you know, because we have legal precedent here.

01:03:21.000 So the question then is, if the person does have rights, and this is a question of Man, this gets too complicated.

01:03:32.000 It really is, dude.

01:03:33.000 Because the issue is someone who's been in an accident who might die is injured and is suffering an injury.

01:03:38.000 A baby that is living is not suffering an injury.

01:03:42.000 So at that point you have... An unimpeded will be born.

01:03:47.000 So I don't understand how there's an argument.

01:03:49.000 So that's why I look at the traditional Roe argument, which is pre-viability of a question of Whose rights?

01:03:57.000 I mean, the baby cannot survive without being blood dependent on another individual.

01:04:01.000 And so there's a question in my mind about the extent to which the government can mandate that.

01:04:05.000 But once the baby can survive on its own in open air, how can you justify not giving it constitutional rights?

01:04:13.000 Because someone still has to take care of it.

01:04:14.000 And that would be the government mandating that someone else has to do something for another life.

01:04:17.000 But I got to stop you there because I already rejected that point and destroyed it.

01:04:22.000 But if the mother's like, okay, then I don't have to do anything, government. 0.95

01:04:26.000 I can't kill it.

01:04:27.000 I'm just going to leave it there. 1.00

01:04:27.000 That's neglect and it'll die. 1.00

01:04:29.000 So it's a form of murder.

01:04:30.000 No, it's not.

01:04:32.000 There's a big difference between intentionally killing a baby and then putting it on the doorstep of a post office or a fire department.

01:04:38.000 That's different, though.

01:04:38.000 I'm just letting it lay there in the living room on the ground until it dies of starvation.

01:04:42.000 Yeah, neglect.

01:04:43.000 Yeah.

01:04:43.000 So my point is, that argument is just, it's already dealt with.

01:04:48.000 There are people who are comatose, and they have constitutional rights.

01:04:53.000 They do.

01:04:54.000 We apply their rights to them.

01:04:55.000 Why would we not do it to a baby?

01:04:59.000 You can you can take the baby and put it on the doorstep of a fire department legally and they have those safe havens or whatever So if that's the case, like I just don't know that that's just me, you know, I don't know because the motivations behind The abortionist's argument are not about viability or rights or anything.

01:05:19.000 It's just that they enjoy I think it's an issue of narcissism.

01:05:24.000 The self-interest.

01:05:25.000 I enjoy their freedom from from I think they don't have to support a child you can get to purely evil. I think it's an

01:05:32.000 issue of narcissism

01:05:34.000 The self-interest man, it was crazy at any cost including another human in the beings life. Oh, yeah. Yeah Matt Matt

01:05:41.000 Matt Walsh, I think, announced he's gonna have some more kids.

01:05:45.000 Hell yeah.

01:05:45.000 You guys see that?

01:05:46.000 And Michael Knowles, I think, just welcomed his second child.

01:05:49.000 Oh my! 0.58

01:05:50.000 And he may have, they may have been old photos, I don't know, but someone tweeted, some leftist activist, to, I think it was Matt Walsh, I'm sorry that your wife was brainwashed into being a broodmare or something like that.

01:06:02.000 Dude.

01:06:02.000 And I'm just like, that's so insane to say to somebody.

01:06:06.000 The women's right to choose life isn't valid, right? 1.00

01:06:12.000 I like this to-each-their-own mentality.

01:06:14.000 I don't know.

01:06:15.000 I'm kind of hands-off on all this stuff.

01:06:16.000 I just gotta say, I put it simply for you guys, and then we'll jump on to the next story.

01:06:21.000 The only thing I can say is, the end result of all of this is a Christian conservative United States of America. 0.63

01:06:26.000 No, not Christian. 0.99

01:06:26.000 I don't have anything to do with it. 0.99

01:06:28.000 How many kids do you have?

01:06:30.000 I have all of yours.

01:06:32.000 Michael Knowles has too!

01:06:33.000 Yeah, but they're listening.

01:06:34.000 They listen to these shows.

01:06:35.000 You know, you can, and this is what I was saying about Jazz Jennings and her book.

01:06:37.000 It's one thing with what's the parent doing for their child, but it's, and should the parent have the right to have surgery on their child?

01:06:44.000 But it's another thing when people are, it's working outward and people are affecting society through media and convincing your child in somewhere else of what to do or inspiring your child.

01:06:57.000 You know, you don't need to biologically have children to influence children.

01:07:00.000 That's for sure.

01:07:00.000 That's why the school issue is so huge.

01:07:03.000 But my point is simple.

01:07:05.000 Conservatives have been shoring up their communities.

01:07:08.000 They've been, Ron DeSantis has been winning and removing these people.

01:07:11.000 Yeah, it looks like right now, there's a lot of variables that lay before us.

01:07:16.000 But if everything that's happening right now stays the way it's happening and advances exactly the way it's happening, 30, 40 years, you're going to have, this country is going to be substantially more conservative.

01:07:25.000 Christ will have returned. 0.98

01:07:25.000 Yeah, probably. 0.98

01:07:26.000 Well, I don't know.

01:07:26.000 I don't know about that.

01:07:27.000 Christ is going to come unify the globe.

01:07:29.000 Well, actually, it would be really nice right about now, because here's my next... Christ is going to win in history.

01:07:34.000 Here's the next story.

01:07:37.000 China launches unprecedented military drills on Taiwan's coastal borders.

01:07:41.000 They actually, this is the crazy thing, apparently one of the multiple rockets from China have landed in Japanese territorial waters.

01:07:50.000 And now they're talking, saying basically this may have been an act of war.

01:07:54.000 So, uh, we could really use someone to come down and unite this planet before we blow ourselves up.

01:07:59.000 Or come up and do it.

01:08:00.000 You hear me out there, you're listening.

01:08:02.000 Come up and do it.

01:08:03.000 That's you, you're the one.

01:08:03.000 Oh, I thought you were talking about Satan.

01:08:06.000 No, no, just coming up, man, coming up in the world.

01:08:08.000 That's what it's all about.

01:08:09.000 Come down and land on Earth and bring them together and then... Caving civilizations that live in tunnels underground?

01:08:14.000 That's who I was talking to.

01:08:15.000 Yeah.

01:08:15.000 Okay.

01:08:15.000 And also be careful what you wish for, because if you were like, we need someone to come and bring peace to this planet, you'll get someone like, okay, and then, you know, Ultron.

01:08:22.000 Yeah.

01:08:22.000 And also unification.

01:08:23.000 Then the Antichrist comes.

01:08:24.000 Right, exactly.

01:08:25.000 He's like, your wish is my command.

01:08:26.000 Decentralized unification, I think, where it's like locally run, but organized.

01:08:31.000 Like the states, we have 50 states, but they're all run locally.

01:08:34.000 If Canada joined us and then we had like 70 states and they're all run locally, but we, you know, America is basically the land we live on.

01:08:40.000 That's good stuff.

01:08:41.000 Look at these videos, man.

01:08:43.000 This is bonkers.

01:08:46.000 China's firing missiles over Taiwan.

01:08:48.000 They're landing in Japanese waters.

01:08:50.000 I kind of feel like war... Is this an intimidation tactic?

01:08:55.000 Well, for sure, but I think it's an act of war.

01:08:57.000 They're in Taiwanese territorial waters.

01:09:00.000 They're in Taiwan's waters. 0.99

01:09:03.000 Firing missiles.

01:09:05.000 I mean, like, you can't show up in front of someone's house and start firing a gun in the air.

01:09:09.000 Like, you get arrested for that.

01:09:11.000 So we're supposed to sit back and just be like, Oh, this is no big deal.

01:09:13.000 It's nothing.

01:09:13.000 This is just saber rattling.

01:09:14.000 I'm like, dude, they're literally the missiles are landing.

01:09:17.000 Like they're hitting people's like other countries' territory. 0.94

01:09:20.000 I kind of feel like the reason that Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan is because they know that something's about to happen.

01:09:32.000 I'm looking at what they're doing with the beaching drills.

01:09:35.000 of the mainland, right?

01:09:38.000 I mean, because that's their view, right?

01:09:39.000 The Chinese government's view is that it's a breakaway province that has always belonged to China.

01:09:46.000 I'm looking at what they're doing with the beaching drills.

01:09:49.000 They've been doing sand dredgers around Taiwan.

01:09:52.000 It's like, dude, they're getting ready.

01:09:54.000 They're not screwing around.

01:09:55.000 They've been shrugging up their financial defenses after what happened with Russia and the sanctions.

01:09:59.000 Right.

01:10:00.000 This could be why the banks are in dire straits in the country, because they're getting ready for when they go and take Taiwan. 1.00

01:10:08.000 And I think Nancy Pelosi basically went there and said, we will not back you.

01:10:13.000 Oh, went to Taiwan to let them know we're out?

01:10:15.000 I think it was essentially that, like, along those lines.

01:10:19.000 Like, we're building factories in the United States to build silicon chips.

01:10:22.000 You're done.

01:10:24.000 We will not protect you.

01:10:25.000 How is the U.S.

01:10:26.000 gonna protect Taiwan when mainland China's literally right there?

01:10:29.000 No, I don't know.

01:10:31.000 Economically, that'd be the only way.

01:10:33.000 I mean, we do have nuclear submarines off the coast and stuff under the water, but I don't think ballistics is the way to go.

01:10:40.000 I mean, look, they're so close to the island, but then Russia's vowing to fight with China.

01:10:45.000 I think the U.S.

01:10:46.000 is basically like, if we defend you, it's World War III, so we won't.

01:10:50.000 Is this going to be the United States' Suez Crisis if you think of the British Empire and its decline?

01:10:58.000 The British inability to act in the Suez Crisis, similar potentially here, historical in that analog.

01:11:08.000 What happened with the Suez?

01:11:09.000 Well, the British just were overextended. 0.98

01:11:11.000 It was after World War Two.

01:11:13.000 They were, and Peter Hitchens talks about this vividly, the essayist and brother of Christopher Hitchens that vividly remembers this happening, excuse me, in the 1950s.

01:11:26.000 That the British Empire had been exhausted by World War II, it was overextended, and it didn't have the financial or military resources to act in the Suez Crisis, and they were told to take their hands off, and there was nothing that they could do.

01:11:40.000 And maybe that's That's where we're headed, right?

01:11:44.000 That's where we are.

01:11:47.000 We can't fight a war on the Eastern Front in Europe and the Pacific theater at the same time.

01:11:51.000 Right.

01:11:52.000 Plus, China's got resources in other continents.

01:11:55.000 Africa.

01:11:57.000 Not to mention, we talk about 1.3 billion Chinese citizens.

01:12:01.000 Yo, China's been engaging in colonialism for the past couple of decades or longer.

01:12:07.000 People don't understand this.

01:12:10.000 They have this image of colonialism as like a bunch of people get on a government boat and they're like, we're going to go discover a new world and take it over.

01:12:17.000 And they think it would be like a bunch of boats landing and Chinese citizens like taking over a town. 1.00

01:12:21.000 No, they get a visa, they move in.

01:12:23.000 Right.

01:12:23.000 That's it.

01:12:24.000 And then sooner or later, you've got large portions of your cities and your country are, you know, now settled by citizens of a foreign country.

01:12:32.000 And then one day, if war breaks out, what do you think's going to happen in Australia?

01:12:36.000 Like, this is why we had internment camps in World War II, for the Japanese.

01:12:40.000 I think it was wrong, but the idea was like, well, we don't know which one of these Japanese people may be loyal to the Japanese Empire.

01:12:45.000 It could have very easily, if we hadn't done that, if they hadn't done that, it could have been like, the Japanese uprising in California could have been, become Japanese territory, and then we lose the war, so. 0.68

01:12:54.000 Happened in Europe six years ago, I think it was.

01:12:56.000 Maybe it was five years ago.

01:12:59.000 A bunch of Turkish citizens were waving Turkish flags in various European countries.

01:13:03.000 And Erdogan was like, we'll open the floodgates because all of these people loyal to a different country are in these European countries.

01:13:10.000 So what do you think happens if the United States, a lot of people who live here are citizens of China.

01:13:18.000 We've even had people come here who are, who are members of the Chinese Communist Party overtly.

01:13:22.000 Right.

01:13:22.000 What about Australia?

01:13:24.000 If a war breaks out, people start pointing the finger and then this is the crazy thing.

01:13:28.000 Like the whole thing just becomes overtly racist.

01:13:31.000 Right.

01:13:31.000 China, like people aren't going to be like, how can I tell if someone's Chinese?

01:13:34.000 And they're going to be like, that's like, I don't, they're just not going to trust each other.

01:13:39.000 It's kind of a crazy, crazy thing to think about.

01:13:41.000 Maybe on a positive side on China.

01:13:43.000 I mean, there are a tremendous number of Christians in China.

01:13:47.000 There's a huge underground church in China, and as unlikely perhaps as it seemed in the Roman Empire and in around 300 A.D.

01:14:01.000 when Constantine converted to Christianity and changed the course of history, perhaps something like that might happen.

01:14:08.000 Who knows, right?

01:14:09.000 I'm trying to think optimistically here.

01:14:11.000 Yeah.

01:14:11.000 Right?

01:14:12.000 That God will do something in China and move that country toward Christ, ultimately. 0.97

01:14:21.000 Aliens come and then just bring medicine and everyone just stops fighting.

01:14:25.000 And they're like, oh, look, we're not, you know.

01:14:28.000 But it's not like I said, right?

01:14:30.000 I mean, but if you were in Rome in and around that time as a persecuted Christian and a tyrannical situation and state it would have seemed equally bleak and yet God did move in that country and it changed the world and maybe and I pray that that would happen in this case that that God would move in China and that great things would happen and and that the country would change culturally. 0.82

01:14:57.000 The past hundred years are not confidence building.

01:15:01.000 In terms of just the trajectory of history?

01:15:04.000 Yeah.

01:15:05.000 You know, I was reading a tweet.

01:15:06.000 They said when Germany invaded Poland, nobody knew it was the start of World War II.

01:15:13.000 And it escalated.

01:15:14.000 And eventually it was World War II.

01:15:16.000 And that right now with Russia invading Ukraine, that's the argument they're trying to make.

01:15:20.000 And the tweet was basically, more money for Ukraine, stop Russia now before it becomes World War III. 0.56

01:15:27.000 And it's like...

01:15:29.000 I get it.

01:15:30.000 If, now that Finland and Sweden, the US Senate has voted overwhelmingly 95 to 1, Hawley was the only one who said no.

01:15:39.000 Now they voted to become inducted, they voted to be inducted into NATO.

01:15:42.000 Russia vowed retaliation.

01:15:44.000 That right there, it's just like, it's crazy to me that you see, you have everybody who's running full speed towards World War 3 intentionally.

01:15:52.000 Like, you realize, it's one thing to be like, China doesn't dictate where our politicians go, so, plus he's going to Taiwan.

01:15:58.000 It's another thing to, at the exact same time, hold a vote to induct Sweden and Finland into NATO when Russia's threatening war.

01:16:05.000 I'm like, maybe you wait.

01:16:07.000 Right?

01:16:08.000 They're just running full speed towards World War III.

01:16:10.000 Controlled demolition.

01:16:11.000 Yeah.

01:16:11.000 Managed collapse.

01:16:13.000 It's not Munich 1939.

01:16:15.000 We're in World War I, right?

01:16:19.000 The preconditions that led to that.

01:16:21.000 The entangling alliances and the dominoes that fell and the disaster that unfolded that ultimately led to World War II and millions of people dead.

01:16:29.000 But they're running towards it.

01:16:32.000 Right.

01:16:34.000 Couldn't someone come out and be like, I propose we don't vote on this just yet because the tensions with China are just too hot and we should maybe wait a little bit.

01:16:42.000 They were like, nope, let's ram it through.

01:16:44.000 Why did Hawley dissent?

01:16:46.000 I don't even like calling it dissent because it's not like it was a pre-foregone conclusion or whatever.

01:16:50.000 He just chose to not support the thing.

01:16:52.000 Why?

01:16:52.000 Well, we have this story here.

01:16:53.000 We'll read it.

01:16:54.000 Josh Hawley was the only senator to oppose NATO membership for Finland and Sweden.

01:16:58.000 Is it in the United States' interest, said Hawley?

01:17:01.000 Finland and Sweden want to expand NATO because it is in their national security interest to do so.

01:17:05.000 Fair enough.

01:17:06.000 The question that should properly be before us, however, is, is it in the United States' interest to do so?

01:17:12.000 Because that is what American foreign policy is supposed to be about, I thought.

01:17:16.000 I fear some in this town have lost sight of that.

01:17:19.000 They think American foreign policy is about creating a liberal world order or nation-building overseas.

01:17:24.000 With all due respect, they're wrong.

01:17:26.000 Bravo!

01:17:27.000 Josh Hawley.

01:17:28.000 Rand Paul voted present.

01:17:30.000 I would have thought he would have voted against it.

01:17:33.000 This is amazing to me.

01:17:34.000 Russia has already got their people on TV talking about nuking London.

01:17:39.000 What do you think Russia's gonna do?

01:17:41.000 Think about it from the perspective of the United States.

01:17:44.000 Imagine if Russia started sending resources into Mexico, and Mexico was talking about joining the Russian Trade Federation.

01:17:51.000 And then a bunch of Central American countries were joining a military alliance with Russia.

01:17:57.000 And then, there was a... Basically, in Mexico, the government gets overthrown, and a bunch of communists like Soviet people or Russians take it over.

01:18:08.000 You'd be like, okay, we got ourselves a problem in the Gulf, right?

01:18:11.000 Yeah, that would be a problem.

01:18:13.000 So what we got to do is ally with Russia and the Chinese, and then there'll be a Chinese uprising and a Republican uprising in Russia.

01:18:21.000 I'm looking forward to it.

01:18:23.000 I suppose that what people need to understand is that the US may talk about its interest in expanding NATO and working with Ukraine.

01:18:31.000 But anyone who's sane understands why Russia's gonna lose their mind over it.

01:18:34.000 They're slowly being surrounded by a massive military alliance, and they don't like it.

01:18:40.000 So, at a certain point, Russia's gonna be like, it's now or never. 0.52

01:18:44.000 And then what?

01:18:45.000 Do they nuke London?

01:18:46.000 No, no.

01:18:47.000 Take Crimea and the war. 0.81

01:18:49.000 I don't think anybody wants that war over there.

01:18:51.000 I mean, maybe the bankers do.

01:18:53.000 If Russia feels like they'll cease to exist, that's what they said.

01:18:56.000 They'll go full-scale nuclear if they feel threatened.

01:19:01.000 So we're going to the brink.

01:19:04.000 That's what they want people to think, though, too.

01:19:05.000 You got to remember.

01:19:06.000 And I don't know who they are, but that's like people thrive off of like doomsday scenarios monetarily.

01:19:12.000 Media gets so many clicks when people are afraid.

01:19:16.000 I don't know.

01:19:16.000 I get a lot of this data from Western media, from American media.

01:19:20.000 It's true.

01:19:21.000 But the war in Ukraine is happening.

01:19:23.000 American citizens are on the ground, volunteers fighting.

01:19:26.000 The U.S.

01:19:27.000 is supplying intelligence and weapons.

01:19:29.000 NATO is basically involved.

01:19:31.000 Who was it?

01:19:31.000 Was it Lithuania who blocked the shipment into Kaliningrad?

01:19:35.000 I think it was Lithuania.

01:19:36.000 You want to check that real quick?

01:19:37.000 Yeah.

01:19:38.000 And Russia was like, this is an act of war.

01:19:40.000 And then they like backed off.

01:19:41.000 It's like, yeah, Russia is not just fighting.

01:19:44.000 Yeah, it was Lithuania.

01:19:45.000 Lithuania blocked supplies into Kaliningrad, which is six days ago.

01:19:49.000 Russian territory.

01:19:50.000 Six days ago?

01:19:51.000 Well, then articles from six days ago from TVPworld.com.

01:19:54.000 Are they just analyzing it or?

01:19:57.000 Maybe.

01:19:57.000 Because this happened like a month ago.

01:19:59.000 I'm just saying, history is condensed and people don't realize how condensed, you know?

01:20:06.000 Well, people don't even understand the history of World War I, right?

01:20:10.000 I mean, the average American doesn't understand what happened.

01:20:14.000 Tell me about it.

01:20:14.000 Right?

01:20:15.000 I mean, they haven't read about it.

01:20:17.000 They don't know that the United States didn't get involved until April of 1917.

01:20:23.000 Very late in the war, or even the United States wasn't involved in World War II until, you know, Pearl Harbor.

01:20:30.000 Four years after the start of the war.

01:20:32.000 Many years into it, right?

01:20:34.000 So, I mean, we don't, right?

01:20:36.000 We're not being taught that in our primary education.

01:20:40.000 We're focusing on other things that are, you know, unfortunately, Much less important than having this overall understanding of the history of the world and how it relates to this day in time.

01:20:51.000 And you think about, you know, NATO, right?

01:20:52.000 Like, as a Republican, Holly being the only person to vote against NATO expansion, it's interesting to look back historically.

01:20:59.000 It was the great Senator from Ohio, Robert Alfonso Taft, Bob Taft.

01:21:04.000 Who, on the right, as a conservative, Mr. Republican, voted against NATO in the first place, in the first instance.

01:21:11.000 Wow.

01:21:13.000 There was that wing of the Republican Party, that conservative right, that opposed the internationalism that we've seen.

01:21:22.000 NATO made sense. 0.70

01:21:23.000 I see both sides.

01:21:24.000 Soviet Union, right?

01:21:26.000 So we see this massive expansion of these communist states, and so we said, okay, we need to push back against this expansion.

01:21:32.000 Right.

01:21:32.000 And there were people on the right, pre-National Review, who rejected that and said, we don't need NATO.

01:21:40.000 No, we don't need to police the world.

01:21:41.000 No, we don't need to have a worldwide war against communism.

01:21:44.000 Yes, we believe communism is doomed to fail.

01:21:47.000 I mean, I don't know, I can't quote the person who said it, but, you know, some maintain that the most ardent believers in the validity of communism were the people in the Kremlin and the conservative movement in the United States, in the sense that we were going to amass all of these resources against an economic system we ultimately believed was deemed a failure.

01:22:10.000 But there was that counter critique from the right on the Cold War, pre-National Review.

01:22:19.000 When I think of World War I, I think of like, was it the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by Giovanni Precepi, something like that?

01:22:28.000 But he was like a Serbian national, I believe.

01:22:30.000 Right.

01:22:30.000 Killed the... Archduke of Austria-Hungary, I believe.

01:22:34.000 Killed him, and then Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, I believe.

01:22:39.000 Is that what it was?

01:22:39.000 I think that's right.

01:22:39.000 And then Britain, who was an ally of Serbia, like a NATO, like an alliance, declared war on Austria-Hungary.

01:22:45.000 Britain declared war because they were an ally of the Serbs.

01:22:49.000 So then... Gavrilo.

01:22:50.000 Gavrilo Princip.

01:22:51.000 Thank you very much.

01:22:52.000 He and two other guys tried to kill France.

01:22:54.000 He was the one that actually pulled it off.

01:22:55.000 But wasn't it like he screwed up and then by luck happened to have accidentally run into him later on?

01:23:02.000 I don't know.

01:23:02.000 There was a carriage going down the road and they were like hiding out and waiting.

01:23:05.000 They couldn't get their thing.

01:23:05.000 He threw a grenade in, I think, into the carriage and killed Franz Ferdinand and his wife.

01:23:10.000 Man.

01:23:10.000 Right.

01:23:11.000 And then so after Austria-Hungary declared war on Britain, I think one of Britain's allies declared war.

01:23:17.000 I'm sorry, after Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary, then Germany declared war on Britain, and then France declared war on Germany. 0.77

01:23:22.000 Some dumb stuff like that.

01:23:24.000 All of a sudden you have, inadvertently, what they call later a world war. 0.97

01:23:28.000 So we gotta avoid that.

01:23:29.000 That's what NATO is setting us up for, is if something happens in Sweden, then they declare war on Russia, or Russia declares war on Sweden because some dumb Sweden national, and then Britain declares war on Russia.

01:23:40.000 Like, come on, guys.

01:23:41.000 Come on.

01:23:42.000 That's the wisdom of George Washington's farewell address, right?

01:23:46.000 That America should avoid being in entangling alliances with foreign countries to avoid precisely the outcome that you're talking about.

01:23:54.000 But the other argument is, if we had not had the defensive alignment against Nazi Germany, that he would have taken Poland, and then he would have taken France, and then he would have taken Italy, and then he would have taken over the world. 0.75

01:24:09.000 But you have to, I think you have to start with World War I to analyze everything that happened right afterward, and the circumstances that led to really the most catastrophic war in human history up to that point, and what could have been done to prevent it.

01:24:32.000 I mean, it was an It was eminently, in many ways, preventable war.

01:24:40.000 The Second World War?

01:24:41.000 No, I'm talking about the World War I, in the first instance.

01:24:44.000 The Great War.

01:24:45.000 Right.

01:24:46.000 The war to end all wars.

01:24:47.000 The war for democracy and freedom.

01:24:52.000 But again, not well understood, it seems.

01:24:55.000 There's a YouTube channel called The Great War.

01:24:57.000 I highly recommend it.

01:24:58.000 They went from 2014 to 2018.

01:25:01.000 Every week, they would make a video talking about what happened 100 years before, because 1940 was basically the centennial of World War I, and they would go week by week.

01:25:08.000 Every week, there's a video about 17 million people died today in the Somme, or whatever, on this four-month battle that went on in eastern France between the British and the Trench and then the Germans, and it was just like, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.

01:25:24.000 They'd take like a half a mile of land and then the next day they'd get it taken back and they'd just kill.

01:25:29.000 Death, death, death.

01:25:31.000 And it's modern war.

01:25:32.000 They keep stressing in modern war the most advanced weapons are used.

01:25:35.000 You do not see it coming.

01:25:37.000 Do not engage in this stuff now.

01:25:38.000 That's my personal statement on it.

01:25:40.000 Do not engage in this.

01:25:42.000 I don't like appeasement though.

01:25:44.000 I don't like the idea of like, let the conqueror conquer.

01:25:46.000 Right.

01:25:47.000 But I mean, Taiwan is right next to China.

01:25:50.000 It's, it's, it's, I don't know, how far away is it?

01:25:52.000 Three miles away from the mainland or something?

01:25:54.000 I don't think it's that close.

01:25:56.000 How close is it?

01:25:57.000 It's, it's, it's right off the coast.

01:25:59.000 Dude, this has probably been having this discussion for 100,000 years.

01:26:03.000 But, you know, to your point about what the people in 1914 to 1918 went through, the courage, the brutality of it.

01:26:14.000 And then you think about the world that we live in today and the difference that each and every one of us can make in the world and the comparatively little sacrifice that we have to make to make a difference.

01:26:30.000 Because standing for truth and justice in our world today, I mean, what's the worst that's going to happen to you?

01:26:37.000 You might lose your job, right?

01:26:39.000 You might lose prestige.

01:26:41.000 You might lose your life.

01:26:42.000 You might, you might, but you know, you're not being asked to run into machine gun fire like those guys were, you know.

01:26:52.000 There's a movie called They Shall Not Grow Old, I believe that's the name of it, about World War I, where they colorized a lot of footage.

01:26:57.000 When you see the guys get out of the trench and run and just fall down, because the machine gun... I'm reading about what pulled the U.S.

01:27:04.000 into World War I. It's actually a lot over several years.

01:27:09.000 The sinking of the Lusitania, the SS Arabic, they were attacked.

01:27:13.000 Wilson was furious over unrestricted submarine warfare.

01:27:17.000 Germany backed off.

01:27:18.000 And then ultimately, with the warfare going on, the German submarine offensive, there was food shortages happening in the United States.

01:27:25.000 So then they were just like, public support started to ramp up, people were pissed.

01:27:29.000 I'm still reading a little bit, but it's kind of crazy because with the World War II, it was like, we got attacked.

01:27:34.000 Right.

01:27:34.000 We got attacked and we were like, all right, that's it, we're pissed.

01:27:36.000 World War I, the Americans were funding the British, basically.

01:27:39.000 They were sending them food and weapons and stuff.

01:27:41.000 So the Germans were like, F this. 0.83

01:27:42.000 So they started blowing up American transports.

01:27:44.000 And then Americans were like, hey, don't blow up our transports.

01:27:47.000 We're just ferrying people across the sea.

01:27:49.000 And the Germans were like, no, you're not. 0.99

01:27:51.000 Y'all are gonna love this.

01:27:52.000 On April 6th, Congress declared war on Germany.

01:27:54.000 Remember the good old days when Congress declared war?

01:27:57.000 The only, the last time was World War II, right? 0.93

01:28:00.000 Was it really?

01:28:01.000 Right, I think that's the last time the United States declared war.

01:28:03.000 Every other war, right?

01:28:07.000 The Iraq War.

01:28:08.000 I mean, I feel like that was the end of the soul of the United States then.

01:28:11.000 You know, we win World War II and then all of a sudden these corrupt individuals are like, well now we're gonna do limited warfare.

01:28:17.000 Kissinger?

01:28:18.000 Yeah.

01:28:18.000 I was watching, have you guys ever watched The Good Place?

01:28:21.000 No.

01:28:22.000 No.

01:28:22.000 I'm not that big of a fan, but I'm watching it because I've like watched everything else basically.

01:28:25.000 It's actually not bad.

01:28:27.000 It ended a few years ago, but I was just laughing because in the end of the show, they're referencing people on Earth who did good.

01:28:36.000 And then the demon guy, he's like, well, then I want to name bad people!

01:28:39.000 Henry Kissinger!

01:28:40.000 And then I just started laughing.

01:28:41.000 I was like, that was a great, great reference for a TV show to make.

01:28:43.000 I would love to meet Kissinger someday, because I used to think of him as just a vile demon.

01:28:47.000 But now I'm like, well, maybe limited war prevented World War III at the time. 0.77

01:28:50.000 You know, I used to think of him as a vile demon. 0.98

01:28:53.000 Now I think of him as a narcissistic, sociopathic vile demon, you know, intent on just causing human suffering. 0.99

01:28:59.000 So, you know, it's only gotten worse. 0.99

01:29:01.000 It's only worse.

01:29:02.000 If we could get materials from place to place without effort, then we're talking.

01:29:06.000 Then we don't really need as much con- we don't really need conflict.

01:29:08.000 If we can get food into the desert through like stratospheric drone delivery or something like that, as long as people don't need to take It's going to be interesting in 50 years.

01:29:16.000 I don't know if it's going to be a civil war or if it's going to be a World War III.

01:29:20.000 But it's looking like it's going to be a World War III and then the U.S.

01:29:22.000 just crumples.

01:29:24.000 And then it's going to be... I mean, you look at World War I, you had the Russian Revolution.

01:29:28.000 Right.

01:29:29.000 So we could be looking at something like that.

01:29:31.000 Yeah, and the Russians pulled out of the war after the communists took over.

01:29:35.000 They were like, communists were like, we're anti-war!

01:29:37.000 That was a big part of their thing.

01:29:39.000 So they killed a bunch of people, took the country, and basically screwed the, what are they called, the Entente? 1.00

01:29:46.000 No, the Entente was the Germans and the Austrians.

01:29:48.000 The Central Powers? 0.82

01:29:50.000 The Central Powers were German-Austrians.

01:29:51.000 The Entente was the British, the French, and the Italians. 0.74

01:29:54.000 And after Russia pulled out, it like screwed them over. 0.63

01:29:57.000 They were like, well, there goes our ally.

01:29:58.000 But then the Americans came in and Yeah. 1.00

01:30:01.000 Right.

01:30:01.000 when Trump said what we're even involved in World War I anyway and then they made fun

01:30:05.000 of him.

01:30:06.000 Yeah, right.

01:30:07.000 We were talking, we had Michael Malice on and he made the same point.

01:30:10.000 He was like, yeah, no, we shouldn't have been.

01:30:12.000 It was Woodrow Wilson was this disaster of a president.

01:30:15.000 Wasn't he the Federal Reserve president?

01:30:17.000 Yeah.

01:30:19.000 He did sign the act.

01:30:20.000 I don't know if he was ever the president of the Fed.

01:30:24.000 No, no, no.

01:30:24.000 I'm not saying he was president of the Fed.

01:30:25.000 He was the president at the time of the Federal Reserve.

01:30:28.000 That's what I meant.

01:30:29.000 Sorry.

01:30:31.000 When I said of the Federal Reserve, I meant that was something that was from him.

01:30:36.000 It grew from him.

01:30:37.000 Right, right, right.

01:30:38.000 Absolutely.

01:30:39.000 Yeah.

01:30:39.000 What is it?

01:30:40.000 He's like the worst president we've ever had.

01:30:41.000 He even acknowledged that was the biggest mistake or one that he ever made.

01:30:44.000 Have you heard that speech where he talks about that he unwittingly gave control of the United States to a bunch of bureaucrats?

01:30:51.000 No, I haven't.

01:30:52.000 I didn't realize.

01:30:53.000 No, he did a lot.

01:30:54.000 He did a lot of bad things, though.

01:30:56.000 He did a lot of bad things for the country.

01:30:58.000 He's a bad guy. 0.88

01:31:00.000 And, you know, the Espionage Act and restrictions on curtailments on civil liberties during the war.

01:31:06.000 Did he do the FBI?

01:31:08.000 No, I don't.

01:31:10.000 I don't know.

01:31:11.000 I don't know who was responsible for the FBI, but... No, it was later, I think.

01:31:16.000 J. Edgar Hoover was in the 20s, maybe?

01:31:18.000 Maybe.

01:31:19.000 Was it?

01:31:20.000 1908.

01:31:20.000 Oh, wow.

01:31:21.000 Yep.

01:31:22.000 So, but I don't think that... Teddy Roosevelt?

01:31:23.000 Yeah, that wasn't Wilson then.

01:31:25.000 But Wilson was... Wilson was a progressive, and he...

01:31:34.000 And our entry into World War I really, I think you can argue, created a chain reaction and did not serve our interest or really the world's interest in many ways.

01:31:47.000 It was Theodore Roosevelt.

01:31:49.000 He did the FBI.

01:31:49.000 Teddy.

01:31:50.000 What about the CIA?

01:31:52.000 The CIA.

01:31:53.000 I wonder if that came later.

01:31:55.000 Yeah, 40s.

01:31:56.000 That's my guess.

01:31:56.000 That was like Cold War stuff, right?

01:31:58.000 1947.

01:31:58.000 Yeah, so who was 1947?

01:32:02.000 Truman.

01:32:02.000 Yep.

01:32:03.000 There it is right there.

01:32:03.000 Truman.

01:32:05.000 Yep.

01:32:05.000 Wow, man.

01:32:06.000 We look back at all this stuff and we're just like, what a big mistake.

01:32:10.000 And now we just keep trucking along.

01:32:11.000 Did you hear that Eisenhower speech when he was leaving office and was like, well, sorry guys, we created a military industrial complex.

01:32:19.000 If you let it get out of control, it's going to take over.

01:32:21.000 But it was the best we could do.

01:32:23.000 We had no choice.

01:32:24.000 He was basically alluding to that.

01:32:25.000 Sorry, it's the best we could do.

01:32:26.000 Just don't let it get out of hand.

01:32:29.000 Man, I can only imagine being around in like the late 40s, being involved in this stuff and just thinking to yourself like, well, long-term destruction to this country is underway.

01:32:39.000 You know, just sit back and live your life while you can.

01:32:42.000 I wonder if many of them were thinking that with all the stuff they did.

01:32:45.000 Then you look at everything that we have now and it's just spiraling.

01:32:49.000 This is Goodwill Acid.

01:32:50.000 You know, people need to realize something.

01:32:51.000 We grew up in a golden age.

01:32:52.000 All these millennials, you know, Mary, you especially.

01:32:55.000 Golden age.

01:32:57.000 As bad as everything's been.

01:32:58.000 Like, we've had a recession.

01:33:00.000 We've had COVID and everything.

01:33:01.000 But like, the 80s to the early, to like the 20, like beginning of 2010 or whatever, it was in the United States.

01:33:10.000 I understand 9-11.

01:33:11.000 I'm not trying to downplay that.

01:33:12.000 But for a lot of us, it was just like air conditioning, fast food, fast cars.

01:33:18.000 The 90s, especially we didn't, you know, most people grew up in a world where it was like, when I'm reading about world war one, I'm like, holy.

01:33:27.000 Like while all this stuff is going on, they're like, the Americans are like, we don't want war.

01:33:30.000 There's like Pancho Villa expansionism.

01:33:33.000 There's Northern Ireland.

01:33:35.000 All of these conflicts happening everywhere.

01:33:37.000 People just blowing each other up.

01:33:39.000 And then we grew up in this area where it's like the United States in bubbled itself.

01:33:44.000 And we are just like, what are we complaining about?

01:33:47.000 I was gonna say you had the Spanish flu too.

01:33:50.000 I think that was in 1918, right?

01:33:51.000 That killed millions of people. 0.79

01:33:53.000 So watching that footage from the world from the they shall not grow old like you see how flimsy the human body is what we think of as we're protected and all that crap like man just do what you provoke it over there. 0.93

01:34:03.000 You're provoking it everywhere.

01:34:05.000 I got this quote from Woodrow Wilson.

01:34:07.000 This is after he signed the Federal Reserve Act.

01:34:10.000 He said, I'm a most unhappy man.

01:34:11.000 I've unwittingly ruined my country.

01:34:13.000 A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.

01:34:16.000 Our system of credit is concentrated.

01:34:18.000 The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. 0.98

01:34:21.000 We've come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.

01:34:26.000 No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

01:34:34.000 Wow. 1.00

01:34:35.000 But he signed the stupid thing. 1.00

01:34:37.000 And then he was like, look what I did. 1.00

01:34:39.000 I don't know why he signed that.

01:34:42.000 Normally, I would, well, we are going to go to Super Chats, but I have bad news.

01:34:46.000 YouTube crashed on us and wiped out most, wiped out all the Super Chats from before like 9, 10. 1.00

01:34:53.000 So we'll just read as many as we can that came after that.

01:34:56.000 But my apologies.

01:34:58.000 If YouTube breaks, I don't know, man.

01:35:01.000 But would you kindly smash that like button if you haven't already?

01:35:04.000 Subscribe to this channel and share the show if you do like it.

01:35:07.000 Head over to TimCast.com.

01:35:08.000 We are going to have a members-only segment coming up for you, and we're going to be talking about vaccine mandates and social media policies pertaining to that, efficacy, etc.

01:35:18.000 And that will be at TimCast.com.

01:35:19.000 And it's going to be particularly interesting.

01:35:21.000 We save the spicier stuff sometimes.

01:35:24.000 Sometimes we have to, unfortunately.

01:35:25.000 But let's read some of your superchats.

01:35:28.000 All right, Steve Houser says, ha, Tim, you just admitted that conservatives do stuff.

01:35:34.000 I gotcha.

01:35:35.000 Lol, keep doing what you want and need.

01:35:37.000 By the way, there will be no nuclear war.

01:35:39.000 Self-preservation is a major factor.

01:35:43.000 Self-preservation is the factor as to why I think there may be.

01:35:45.000 Because Russia's looking at NATO expanding all around it.

01:35:50.000 Now Finland, Latvia, I think Estonia?

01:35:53.000 No, no, no, no.

01:35:54.000 Latvia, what are the countries on the board?

01:35:55.000 Is it Estonia?

01:35:57.000 It might be.

01:35:57.000 NATO nations that are on the border with Russia already.

01:35:59.000 So now you got Finland?

01:36:02.000 Up the map?

01:36:03.000 Yeah, I'm on Brave, so the map doesn't have Google Maps.

01:36:06.000 Yeah, well anyway, you get the point.

01:36:08.000 Russia's gonna say, in order to preserve ourselves, it's now or never. 0.74

01:36:12.000 So, that's my fear.

01:36:15.000 Alright.

01:36:17.000 Sunny Z says, hey Tim, I attempted to purchase a subscription on your site via Parallel Economy.

01:36:21.000 Would not let me.

01:36:22.000 Kept timing out on the final step.

01:36:24.000 Tried Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.

01:36:25.000 Stripe worked fine.

01:36:28.000 Sorry to hear it.

01:36:30.000 We're always taking a look at it.

01:36:32.000 I gotta tell you guys, you know, we're a bit scrappy.

01:36:34.000 We have like 30 employees, and we're trying to create a subscription service and build shows and do all that stuff, so these are the early days.

01:36:40.000 Try do it with a different browser, too.

01:36:42.000 He did.

01:36:42.000 He said he tried a bunch of multiple browsers.

01:36:44.000 Clear your cache.

01:36:45.000 I see.

01:36:45.000 Control F5, maybe.

01:36:49.000 Yeah.

01:36:50.000 But this is why we also do have Stripe.

01:36:52.000 Stripe isn't perfect, but they've done a substantially better job than PayPal.

01:36:57.000 Locals uses Stripe, which is Rumble, basically.

01:37:00.000 So we're cool with Stripe for the most part.

01:37:02.000 But, you know, I got no issue with them.

01:37:04.000 And their CEO has actually been responsive to issues.

01:37:07.000 So I think they're better, way better than PayPal.

01:37:10.000 But parallel economy is what we're actually excited to promote and be a part of because this is something new that's definitively anti-censorship.

01:37:18.000 You were saying?

01:37:18.000 On the border of Russia in the north is Finland, then Estonia, Latvia, and Belarus.

01:37:23.000 Yep.

01:37:23.000 Lithuania is further west.

01:37:24.000 And then there was concern about Ukraine, but Ukraine had a lot to do with gas, natural gas, and Gazprom.

01:37:30.000 But Finland, now you got another NATO country on their border?

01:37:34.000 Yo, they're not happy about this.

01:37:36.000 Yeah, man.

01:37:37.000 It's tough.

01:37:41.000 All right.

01:37:41.000 Let's see.

01:37:42.000 Let's grab some more Super Chits. 0.98

01:37:45.000 Let's see, Gad says, why Nancy Pelosi?

01:37:47.000 She's the speaker, not a diplomat.

01:37:50.000 I don't know.

01:37:51.000 I think the Biden administration said Nancy shouldn't go, right?

01:37:53.000 Is that what happened?

01:37:54.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:37:54.000 Yeah, they warned her about going.

01:37:56.000 Maybe she was just... Oh, there was a story the other day that Paul Pelosi sold off at a loss a bunch of Nvidia stocks.

01:38:03.000 Yeah, $300,000 loss.

01:38:03.000 $365,000 loss.

01:38:04.000 Ooh, like one for every day of the year.

01:38:07.000 Some people said it was just tax loss harvesting.

01:38:10.000 Yeah, I was thinking that across my mind.

01:38:12.000 They want to write off a loss on their yearly earnings so that they go under some sort of tax bracket.

01:38:18.000 Well, I mean, it's just harvesting a loss.

01:38:21.000 So you can be like, I'm going to keep the stock anyway, so you might buy back in or whatever.

01:38:24.000 I don't know exactly how it works.

01:38:25.000 But I just think it's really funny timing, you know, with Taiwan and TSMC and the chips bill.

01:38:33.000 Yeah, particularly convenient.

01:38:36.000 How is it that so many people go to Washington and make $175,000 a year in Congress and create generational wealth?

01:38:45.000 Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?

01:38:46.000 It is an interesting question.

01:38:49.000 Isn't it like more than half of Congress are millionaires?

01:38:52.000 Maybe.

01:38:53.000 I don't know.

01:38:53.000 Something like that.

01:38:55.000 Quad Fu says, please invite Mike Glover on the show.

01:38:58.000 He is the founder of American Contingency, whose logo appears on the leaked FBI docs about MVE.

01:39:03.000 He is getting legal together for a potential defamation suit.

01:39:08.000 Interesting.

01:39:09.000 Do you guys see that Ted Cruz smack down Ray from the FBI?

01:39:14.000 Negative.

01:39:14.000 I think I did see.

01:39:15.000 The project Veritas released this from a whistleblower that the FBI considers symbols of American

01:39:20.000 history to be extremist symbols, like the Betsy Ross flag.

01:39:23.000 And one of the symbols they list is called the Gonzalez flag.

01:39:25.000 You guys know what that is?

01:39:27.000 No.

01:39:28.000 It's a, it's a cannon artillery and it says, come and take it.

01:39:31.000 The story's actually really funny.

01:39:33.000 The history of the Gonzales.

01:39:34.000 It's like Texas.

01:39:35.000 And it was the colony, I think, of Gonzales.

01:39:37.000 I think it was a colony.

01:39:39.000 And they requested defense.

01:39:41.000 And they were given one old brass cannon.

01:39:45.000 And so that's what they had.

01:39:46.000 And then the Mexican colonels or whatever, commanders, came over and said, turn over your cannon.

01:39:50.000 And they made a flag with the cannon on it saying, come and take it.

01:39:53.000 And it's like this one cannon.

01:39:54.000 And they're like, to war!

01:39:56.000 So the funny thing is when Ted Cruz was like, questioning like why the Betsy Ross flag is on there.

01:40:02.000 He pulls off his own boot and slaps it on the table because his boot has the Gonzalez flag on it.

01:40:06.000 He's from Texas.

01:40:07.000 I thought that was amazing.

01:40:09.000 Yep.

01:40:10.000 And then he mentions that this militia extremism doesn't include any Antifa or any leftist stuff on it.

01:40:15.000 Or cartels, let's be honest.

01:40:16.000 Yeah.

01:40:17.000 Their lack of, what would you call it, I guess, leadership on the cartel management is concerning.

01:40:24.000 The Gadsden flag was on it.

01:40:25.000 And he pulled it.

01:40:26.000 Here's a license plate from Virginia.

01:40:28.000 And he's like, so all the people who have Virginia license plates?

01:40:31.000 I see them everywhere over here.

01:40:32.000 Because we're on the border with Virginia.

01:40:35.000 Yep, they're all extremists.

01:40:37.000 He didn't have an answer. 0.96

01:40:38.000 It's just insane.

01:40:39.000 The DOJ has been weaponized completely.

01:40:41.000 They've lost it.

01:40:43.000 Alright, Chris Dobler says, back off China, Japan has Godzilla.

01:40:48.000 Alright.

01:40:49.000 That's right.

01:40:52.000 Alright, let's see.

01:40:52.000 Top Gundy says, several infants were left to die after being born alive during botched abortions in Minnesota in 2021.

01:40:58.000 Wow.

01:40:59.000 Said they sent Lydia the links on Twitter.

01:41:02.000 Terrible. 0.63

01:41:02.000 Crazy. 0.63

01:41:03.000 Terrible. 0.91

01:41:06.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:41:07.000 says, Adrian says, it's time for nationalism.

01:41:09.000 I agree.

01:41:10.000 I agree.

01:41:13.000 All right, Grace Fang wants to challenge Ian. 0.99

01:41:15.000 He says, Ian, you have an ignorant view of Christianity. 0.97

01:41:17.000 You are taking your own personal experiences and nitpicky bias over the littlest thing. 0.99

01:41:21.000 Nothing is perfect.

01:41:22.000 Everyone and everything has fault.

01:41:26.000 I can't deny that what you said was true.

01:41:29.000 Well, all right.

01:41:30.000 Andrew Hobson says Taiwan is not, nor has it ever been a territory of China, or as the real ones call it, West Taiwan.

01:41:38.000 Agreed.

01:41:39.000 Taiwan is the actual China.

01:41:41.000 Yes.

01:41:41.000 And the CCP took over the mainland, and they are an occupying force, and I am not a fan.

01:41:46.000 Yeah, the Republic of China is, what is it, 170 islands?

01:41:50.000 Taiwan's about 98% of the land mass of their country.

01:41:52.000 Yeah, I'm completely in favor of unification of Taiwan with West Taiwan.

01:41:59.000 That's a good idea.

01:42:00.000 Yeah.

01:42:01.000 I mean, that would be a way that would be way better for everybody.

01:42:03.000 Imagine what would happen to the CCP, like to the people of China, if the CCP was was removed.

01:42:09.000 And it was like, Dude, China's amazing, man.

01:42:12.000 As a country, the peop- The history? 1.00

01:42:14.000 Yeah, and the land, like the geography is incredible, too.

01:42:17.000 The history, dude, of the temples in the west, like in the mountains, in Shu.

01:42:23.000 I want to go.

01:42:24.000 Yeah.

01:42:25.000 Interesting.

01:42:25.000 Man of Culture says, the internment of Japanese ethnics happened because of the Ni'iahu incident where a Japanese couple tried to help a downed enemy pilot escape Hawaii.

01:42:36.000 Interesting.

01:42:38.000 Tyler W says, if it makes anyone feel better for Taiwan, China is going to destabilize demographically, politically, and economically in the next decade or so. 0.80

01:42:45.000 You know, that's not a good thing.

01:42:48.000 A country that's facing a collapse is a desperate country, and war shores up resources.

01:42:53.000 So like, think of the United States, and the culture war, and food shortages, military-industrial complex, One of the reasons, they say, that the U.S.

01:43:03.000 economy did so well after World War II was that we blew up all of the competition. 0.83

01:43:08.000 After the war, if you wanted autos, for instance, it was the U.S.

01:43:11.000 building and exporting.

01:43:13.000 And these other industries, Germany and Japan, were wiped out.

01:43:17.000 We will see.

01:43:18.000 We will see.

01:43:22.000 Tian! 0.97

01:43:23.000 Walmaron says China buying farmland and distracting the US with a Taiwan war so Russia can take Ukraine to control fertilizer.

01:43:30.000 It's a bait-and-switch tactic to ensure we will live under communist rule.

01:43:35.000 Well, it's coming, man.

01:43:36.000 Yeah, I just saw BlackRock partnered with Coinbase.

01:43:39.000 That's another concern.

01:43:39.000 Yeah.

01:43:40.000 I've been hearing that!

01:43:41.000 People have been saying for some reason their superchats are getting blocked.

01:43:44.000 They're not able to post them, so I don't know why.

01:43:45.000 chat. This is my seventh attempt. I've been hearing that people have been saying for some reason their

01:43:50.000 superchats are getting blocked. They're not able to post them, so I don't know why. But

01:43:55.000 it must be just an accident, right? Just a- Just a mistake.

01:44:00.000 Just a coding error.

01:44:02.000 Maybe the things you're typing in are taboo on the system or something.

01:44:06.000 I had a video, I think it was about trans children or something, and when it went up, it was getting no views, and then it had no audio on it.

01:44:16.000 On my end, when I played it, it was perfect.

01:44:18.000 When other people played it, there was no audio and some people didn't even see it.

01:44:22.000 And so then, you know, our social media manager here, Dane, he was like, there's no sound.

01:44:27.000 What happened?

01:44:27.000 And I was like, my file is totally fine.

01:44:29.000 So I had to re-upload and then delete it.

01:44:32.000 Very weird.

01:44:33.000 And they always just say, it must be a mistake.

01:44:35.000 And I'm like, how does a mistake like that happen?

01:44:37.000 Come on.

01:44:38.000 Doesn't happen to Jimmy Kimmel, does it?

01:44:42.000 All right, let's grab some more.

01:44:44.000 Sparky says NATO started war.

01:44:46.000 Putin's an anti-globalist hero.

01:44:48.000 I absolutely 100% disagree.

01:44:52.000 I see Putin as despotic.

01:44:55.000 I'm not a fan of what Russia is doing, but I'm also not so blind to just act like NATO's expansion isn't a provocation.

01:45:02.000 I do not believe that Putin is a good dude at all.

01:45:04.000 He is not a good dude.

01:45:07.000 All right.

01:45:08.000 Ola, I don't know how to pronounce this, Soberg, says Turkey-Erdogan is still against Sweden and Finland joining NATO.

01:45:16.000 All member states must agree.

01:45:18.000 What are Putin and Erdogan talking about, you think?

01:45:21.000 I mean, that'd be crazy if Turkey breaks off and sides with Russia.

01:45:25.000 Man, things would get crazy real quick.

01:45:29.000 All right.

01:45:30.000 Jonathan Harris says, question for James.

01:45:31.000 As a fellow NC resident, why do you think we can't even pass medicinal marijuana when I can drive up north to VA and buy legally?

01:45:42.000 You know, that's a good question.

01:45:44.000 I think there, I know there was a renewed effort in the General Assembly to try to get something done on medical marijuana.

01:45:52.000 And, you know, I think there are It's a divisive issue for North Carolina Republicans as to legalization of any marijuana, any liberalization of those laws.

01:46:08.000 So maybe it's a generational thing.

01:46:11.000 I think there are people in at least the North Carolina Senate that are trying to move the ball forward on that issue.

01:46:18.000 But you raise a legitimate question, it doesn't make It's not internally consistent, right?

01:46:24.000 That you could go to the VA and get it, but you can't go elsewhere.

01:46:28.000 It just doesn't make sense.

01:46:30.000 But there are a lot of things that we labor under on a daily basis that are inconsistent.

01:46:35.000 Like we saw, of course, in the COVID lockdowns, right?

01:46:39.000 That don't make sense yet, yet are.

01:46:41.000 So hopefully something good will happen in that regard.

01:46:44.000 Tyrants Hunter says, Tim, look at the Venezuela war games this month.

01:46:47.000 China and Russia are being given the ability to build bases there.

01:46:52.000 Yep.

01:46:53.000 That sounds interesting.

01:46:56.000 Oh.

01:46:57.000 All right.

01:46:58.000 Polly Bruce says, peace will inevitably come soon when the sun micro-nova the magnetic shield flips and the crust displaces again.

01:47:07.000 Invite Ben Davidson from Suspicious Observer on YouTube channel before it's too late.

01:47:13.000 You know what I'm really excited about?

01:47:15.000 So we have Tales from the Inverted World, hosted by Shane Cashman, and we're launching a new show, The Inverted World Podcast, which is specifically a conversational show taking calls.

01:47:24.000 But I also would love to see Shane sit down with all of these different conspiracy theory people.

01:47:30.000 Conspiracy theory is not the right word for it.

01:47:32.000 Like mud flood, for instance, right?

01:47:33.000 You know what that is?

01:47:34.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:47:35.000 The idea that a lot of civilization's been covered with mud.

01:47:38.000 Like there was one great civilization, and then there was a great flood, and it buried all of these buildings in mud.

01:47:44.000 And that would have been recent, too, which is the weird thing.

01:47:47.000 Yeah.

01:47:47.000 Because it's like modern buildings.

01:47:49.000 Well, no, they're modern buildings because we think they're modern.

01:47:52.000 Ooh, interesting.

01:47:52.000 That's what the theory is.

01:47:53.000 Anyway, it's not a conspiracy, this theory.

01:47:56.000 It's like weird alternate history stuff, so.

01:47:59.000 I'm really interested to see if we can incorporate that stuff too, like get some flat earther to try and explain what they think and then, you know, have a conversation with people who think these weird things, you know?

01:48:11.000 Love it.

01:48:12.000 Yeah.

01:48:12.000 There was a funny graphic I commented on earlier.

01:48:14.000 It was the Sun tabloid showing a map of the world and China was firing missiles to the U.S.

01:48:19.000 and the U.S.

01:48:19.000 was firing missiles back.

01:48:20.000 But it was just like, it was the typical, like, British style projection of Earth.

01:48:26.000 So as a flat 2D picture, it shows China firing to the west.

01:48:30.000 It's like, you know, China would, if it was a globe, fire to the east, but more importantly, fire to the north. 0.83

01:48:35.000 Because it would go over to the, because the Earth is round, it's going to go over the North Pole before hitting the US.

01:48:39.000 It also fires straight down from right above us.

01:48:42.000 You know, that can happen too.

01:48:43.000 So keep that in mind.

01:48:44.000 When I flew from New York to Hong Kong, we went over the North Pole.

01:48:48.000 And then, like, that's the shortest distance.

01:48:51.000 So that's what you do.

01:48:52.000 But they drew this picture.

01:48:53.000 It was actually really funny.

01:48:56.000 All right.

01:48:59.000 Let's grab some superchats.

01:49:00.000 Brandon Bryant says, hasn't Putin already offered a line to the U.S.

01:49:03.000 when he first came into power, and the U.S.

01:49:05.000 rejected and basically disrespected them?

01:49:07.000 Is that true?

01:49:07.000 I didn't know that.

01:49:08.000 That's what it felt like in the late 2013.

01:49:11.000 I mean, he wouldn't do interviews and be like, I tried to have diplomacy with these people and they won't talk.

01:49:17.000 And now they're using massive propaganda against Russia.

01:49:20.000 Triton 54 says, Ian is correct.

01:49:22.000 A single Ohio-class submarine, SSGN, can fire hundreds of conventional tomahawks and destroy every warship participating in these exercises.

01:49:31.000 More chicken, Ian.

01:49:33.000 Oh, holler. 1.00

01:49:34.000 Submarines are crazy. 1.00

01:49:35.000 You ever been on one?

01:49:36.000 No.

01:49:37.000 You guys ever been on a submarine?

01:49:39.000 20,000 leagues under the sea at Disney World, maybe?

01:49:40.000 I think that's it.

01:49:42.000 I got to, there was a, I can't remember where I was, but you pay 20 bucks and they let you go onto a submarine.

01:49:46.000 Okay.

01:49:47.000 Like you just walk up, go down. 0.85

01:49:48.000 That sounds miserable. 0.89

01:49:49.000 Oh my gosh. 0.97

01:49:50.000 The worst thing ever.

01:49:51.000 It was so cramped.

01:49:53.000 And I'm like, people lived here?

01:49:54.000 And they were like, yeah.

01:49:55.000 And I think like when they, I can't remember the number they gave me, but I was like, that's even crazier.

01:49:59.000 It's already cramped.

01:50:01.000 Like they're there for two months at a time or something?

01:50:02.000 Yep.

01:50:03.000 Wow.

01:50:03.000 Yeah, that's so crazy.

01:50:06.000 I imagine being in that in the middle of a war too, right?

01:50:11.000 Might be the safest place to be, I guess.

01:50:13.000 Yeah, maybe.

01:50:13.000 Yeah, you're like, no one knows where I am.

01:50:16.000 I'll just be safely hiding under the water.

01:50:20.000 Barrett Hodges says, Britain did not get involved until Belgium was invaded by Germany in World War I. Belgium.

01:50:27.000 Belgium, yeah.

01:50:28.000 The tripwire.

01:50:29.000 Cliff Lord says, Ian, check out Benny Will's poem, Who Is They, on YouTube.

01:50:35.000 There's a song by the singer Jem called They, and it's really funny because there's a bunch of like, you know, hate speech researchers who claim the word they is anti-semitic, and it references the Jews specifically.

01:50:49.000 And so then whenever this song, whenever I put on like Pandora or something and the song comes on, It's called they and she says like who made up all the 0.94

01:50:56.000 rules, we follow them like fools. 0.62

01:50:58.000 And then I'm like, based on the context from the Anti-Defamation League, this lady is very 0.99

01:51:01.000 anti-Semitic. Like everything she's saying. But of course, they could be anybody. Well,

01:51:06.000 that's what they do. I'm referring specifically in they, I'm referring to like the hate speech

01:51:10.000 researchers, not any class of people. Anything you say, they're like, that, what you're saying?

01:51:16.000 That's actually anti-Semitic. And you're like, okay, what?

01:51:19.000 Like when Alex Jones was saying globalist, they came out and claimed globalist was an anti-Semitic

01:51:23.000 slur.

01:51:23.000 And I'm like, Alex Jones not talking about Jewish people.

01:51:25.000 What are you talking about?

01:51:26.000 He's probably more likely to be talking about lizard people than Jewish people, but that's what they do. 1.00

01:51:31.000 That's how they get you. 0.63

01:51:32.000 The consultant class, is they.

01:51:34.000 Yeah, the consultant.

01:51:36.000 All right.

01:51:37.000 Catman says, got triggered last night when you denied my existence.

01:51:41.000 LOL.

01:51:41.000 Catman was a DC character at one point.

01:51:44.000 Catman.

01:51:45.000 Didn't you claim there was no Catman?

01:51:46.000 I thought there was no Catman.

01:51:47.000 You are wrong.

01:51:48.000 Catwoman.

01:51:48.000 I didn't know there was a Catman.

01:51:50.000 Catbro.

01:51:53.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:51:54.000 says, Tim, I watched Kill All Others again recently.

01:51:56.000 Y'all should too.

01:51:58.000 It's the Google yellow to white change.

01:52:00.000 We will be the others unless we are not.

01:52:02.000 Have you guys seen this?

01:52:03.000 What show was that?

01:52:05.000 That was on.

01:52:07.000 You want to look that up? 0.99

01:52:08.000 Kill all others? 1.00

01:52:08.000 All others, yeah. 1.00

01:52:09.000 Isn't it like, you're not an other? 1.00

01:52:10.000 I think Electric Dreams?

01:52:12.000 Yes.

01:52:13.000 Yo, you should watch it.

01:52:15.000 Okay.

01:52:15.000 Everyone listening right now, you should watch Electric Dreams.

01:52:18.000 I mean, the whole series.

01:52:19.000 This comes from The Hanging Stranger, a short story by Philip K. Dick.

01:52:22.000 Yep.

01:52:23.000 So Electric Dreams is Philip K. Dick's stories.

01:52:25.000 The whole show is good.

01:52:27.000 The whole series, like Electric Dreams, it's like, it's Philip K. Dick stories, but the Kill All Others story is like, basically this guy one day is watching TV and a politician says that they want to kill all others, and then he's like, what?

01:52:39.000 And then when he goes to work, nobody cares.

01:52:41.000 And he's like, did you see what they said?

01:52:43.000 And they were like, no, you're mistaken.

01:52:44.000 And he's like, no, they really said this.

01:52:46.000 Like, no, that couldn't have happened.

01:52:47.000 The crazy thing about it is, because of what you were saying to me the other day, Ian, where you're like, when you went and talked to your parents, and said Biden's crazy and your mom was like, no, he's not.

01:52:56.000 Then you come back a month later and she's like, yeah, actually.

01:52:58.000 But that first response, when we had like, Richie McGinnis and his mom on,

01:53:04.000 and I mentioned that feminists are more likely And she was like, no, they aren't. 1.00

01:53:09.000 It felt just like that show they're portraying.

01:53:13.000 That when this politician said they wanted to kill all others, he goes to work and they're like, no, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:53:19.000 I didn't see that.

01:53:20.000 That's crazy.

01:53:20.000 That never happened.

01:53:21.000 And he's like, I watched it.

01:53:22.000 How did you not watch it?

01:53:24.000 And then he goes outside and there's like a woman running, screaming and people are chasing after her and they throw her down.

01:53:29.000 And he's like, what are you doing?

01:53:31.000 And they're like, she's an other. 0.93

01:53:32.000 And he's like, leave her alone.

01:53:33.000 And they go, What, are you an other?

01:53:36.000 Are you one of them?

01:53:36.000 And he's like, no, no.

01:53:38.000 And then like, it's basically just a show giving you a metaphor for the others.

01:53:44.000 When people start blaming a different faction, someone else for their problems.

01:53:48.000 It's a good show, man.

01:53:50.000 You should totally watch it, for real.

01:53:52.000 I'll have to check it out.

01:53:54.000 Vadir Sombra says, so I have hundreds of pounds of food, many bags of sticks with thousands of food pellets.

01:54:01.000 As we approach potential World War III event, how do I explain, express to those in denial?

01:54:06.000 Well, I don't know if, like, look, I'll put it this way.

01:54:09.000 Janet just fired a bunch of missiles over Taiwan, so, I mean, if you're gonna be a prepper, now's really the time to be a prepper, I guess.

01:54:15.000 They said a food shortage is coming.

01:54:16.000 I'm not telling anybody to stock up on, you know, beans or anything like that.

01:54:22.000 But if a food shortage is coming and they keep saying it, they're screaming it, you know, I'll put it this way. 0.61

01:54:27.000 We talk about how, you know, we say Joe Biden's crazy and your mom doesn't see it.

01:54:32.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:54:32.000 Mentally deficient was, I think. 0.99

01:54:35.000 Of your mom?

01:54:35.000 The weird thing is I told her that like five months ago and she was like, yeah, yeah, I know.

01:54:39.000 I get it.

01:54:40.000 I get it.

01:54:40.000 Then I saw her again and she was like, no, he's not.

01:54:42.000 He's fine.

01:54:42.000 Then I saw her the third time.

01:54:43.000 She's like, yeah, yeah, I get it.

01:54:45.000 I'm like, what is happening?

01:54:46.000 How can someone go in and out of this?

01:54:48.000 Like you want to, I guess she wants to like him.

01:54:50.000 I think that's the problem.

01:54:51.000 Yeah.

01:54:53.000 I don't know, man.

01:54:53.000 I'll just tell you.

01:54:54.000 There's a lot of people who aren't paying attention.

01:54:57.000 And so when you say something like, I just bought some emergency food, they laugh.

01:55:00.000 They're like, well, what are you talking about? 1.00

01:55:01.000 You're crazy. 0.99

01:55:02.000 And then you're like, well. 1.00

01:55:03.000 That's a self-soothing thing.

01:55:04.000 Yeah. 0.97

01:55:04.000 To say that preppers are crazy. 0.97

01:55:06.000 Yeah.

01:55:07.000 Preppers are laughing.

01:55:08.000 You know, like they could, China could literally launch an ICBM and they'd be sitting in their rocking chair with their shotgun being like, I'm good. 0.93

01:55:15.000 I know what's up.

01:55:16.000 I don't care.

01:55:17.000 So it's kind of like, what do you have to lose by prepping?

01:55:20.000 Did preppers lose at anything?

01:55:23.000 They're hunting and farming and foraging and storing up food.

01:55:28.000 And just living!

01:55:30.000 And then everyone's laughing at them and they're like, I don't care.

01:55:33.000 Like, they're not being hurt at all by prepping.

01:55:35.000 At all.

01:55:36.000 Yeah.

01:55:37.000 I would say don't, don't like publicize your, your prep because you become a target to people that don't have anything.

01:55:43.000 That's, that's probably the worst thing that could happen from a vocal prepper.

01:55:47.000 Yeah.

01:55:49.000 But in the event something does happen, they're going to be like, okay, I'm good.

01:55:52.000 Everyone else will be screaming.

01:55:53.000 It'll be like, there'll be zombie apocalypse in New York.

01:55:55.000 What do you think, what do you think 2.5 million people on Manhattan Island are going to do in three days when there's no food left?

01:56:01.000 Yeah.

01:56:02.000 Create new types of food.

01:56:04.000 Create new types of food.

01:56:05.000 Eat each other is what I'm talking about.

01:56:07.000 Eat fish.

01:56:08.000 Don't go fishing is what I meant.

01:56:09.000 In the Hudson.

01:56:10.000 The beautiful Hudson River.

01:56:11.000 Lots of fishing.

01:56:13.000 The Gowanus Canal.

01:56:15.000 Sludge.

01:56:16.000 Yeah, the people who start, it's going to be like Fallout, but not because of nuclear wars, because they're going to start eating fish from the Hudson and then their skin's going to start falling off.

01:56:24.000 Remember that TikTok of that girl that jumped in the Hudson River with the Statue of Liberty in the shot?

01:56:29.000 No!

01:56:29.000 What happened?

01:56:30.000 I guess she wasn't from New York, but she jumped in the water.

01:56:33.000 I think she ended up being fine though.

01:56:35.000 Yeah, you end up being sick.

01:56:37.000 It would've been funny if she jumped out.

01:56:38.000 She was like, ah!

01:56:39.000 And her skin's like melting.

01:56:40.000 It's like the guy from Indiana Jones when they open the Ark of the Covenant.

01:56:44.000 Is it just like a human waste dump and a chemical dump or something?

01:56:48.000 The river? 0.93

01:56:49.000 It's just filthy.

01:56:50.000 It's the city. 0.88

01:56:51.000 There's tons of waste.

01:56:51.000 I'm gonna tell you guys a story.

01:56:53.000 It's been a long time, so I could be getting this wrong.

01:56:55.000 Just taking the consideration.

01:56:56.000 but when I was working for this environmental non-profit, they said, they went to Lake Michigan Beach in Chicago,

01:57:03.000 and they asked everyone to do a survey.

01:57:06.000 Everybody filled out a survey and gave their information.

01:57:08.000 They said, we're gonna call you back in a couple days.

01:57:10.000 They then called everybody back and asked them if they had gotten sick,

01:57:16.000 and what kind of sickness they got, and it was something like 90% of people

01:57:22.000 who went into Lake Michigan got diarrhea within the next day.

01:57:26.000 Like, they got sick from something.

01:57:27.000 They probably ingested some of the water, the water's filthy, because all that crap from all the cities around Lake Michigan funnels down into Chicago, and then everyone swims in it. 0.95

01:57:35.000 Ew. 0.91

01:57:36.000 Yeah.

01:57:37.000 Yup, that's Chicago.

01:57:38.000 Gotta love it.

01:57:39.000 I always had this fake conspiracy theory that on St.

01:57:43.000 Patrick's Day when they dye the river green, they're just finding a way to secretly get rid of toxic waste.

01:57:48.000 Like, yeah, we're dyeing the river green!

01:57:50.000 Pouring sludge and industrial waste into the river.

01:57:54.000 Then everyone's like, yay!

01:57:56.000 No, they're just dyeing it green.

01:57:58.000 It's so weird that they dye the river green.

01:57:59.000 Is it with algae or something?

01:58:01.000 I don't know.

01:58:01.000 Like some natural way?

01:58:03.000 I don't know.

01:58:04.000 Maybe my fake conspiracy is a real conspiracy.

01:58:07.000 People actually think it or something.

01:58:10.000 All right.

01:58:10.000 Ken says, no offense to your sponsors, but also being low carb, what plans do you make for emergency food?

01:58:15.000 Or would you go full 1700s and switch to easier to store grains, etc.

01:58:18.000 Avoid turkeys.

01:58:19.000 They're mean.

01:58:20.000 Um, yo, if the apocalypse happened, I'll eat tree bark.

01:58:24.000 Like I'll eat what I have to eat.

01:58:25.000 You can eat leaves.

01:58:26.000 I was working one day and I saw a deer eating leaves and then I looked up, can you eat leaves?

01:58:30.000 And you can, you can eat them.

01:58:32.000 They, you know, we eat, we eat a lot of leaves, you know, spinach.

01:58:35.000 Yes.

01:58:36.000 Romaine, all the good stuff.

01:58:38.000 But I was reading like what you're supposed to do and this thing online said, you rip the leaf and then rub it on your skin and then wait 15 minutes and if there's no reaction, then you rip a leaf and then you rub it on your mouth and then you wait and if there's no reaction, then you take a small piece and you eat it and you wait and if there's no reaction, then you eat a little bit more and then after a few days of slowly increasing, you'll find out if you're safe to eat certain leaves.

01:58:59.000 And probably everyone should do that.

01:59:01.000 If there was a group of people, one person doing it isn't enough because someone might

01:59:05.000 have an allergy.

01:59:06.000 Same thing with berries.

01:59:07.000 Now, look, don't take advice from me.

01:59:08.000 I'm just saying I read something online.

01:59:09.000 I don't know if it's true, but they would say like you take like a fruit and you rub

01:59:11.000 it on your skin to see if it causes some kind of reaction or toxin or something like that.

01:59:15.000 But also out here we got a wineberry season and we got pawpaw season coming up.

01:59:19.000 I'm really excited for that.

01:59:21.000 There's just there's it's just like infinite food.

01:59:23.000 You go outside and they're just raining pawpaws down on your head and they're hitting you

01:59:27.000 and they're delicious.

01:59:29.000 I'm reading about the Chicago River getting tied.

01:59:31.000 It says it's more or less food coloring.

01:59:34.000 I don't know what that means.

01:59:35.000 Why would they do... More or less?

01:59:38.000 That's so wild.

01:59:39.000 I wonder what they dye it with.

01:59:41.000 I gotta know.

01:59:41.000 Remember when Dave Matthews Band's bus driver released all the sewage onto that boat?

01:59:46.000 Yeah!

01:59:47.000 On top of somebody.

01:59:48.000 Legend.

01:59:48.000 It's a Chicago legend.

01:59:50.000 They were driving over the bridge, and then the bus driver just pressed, like, the black water release.

01:59:55.000 Because the bridge is graded and they thought they'd get away with it.

01:59:58.000 And then there's a boat, like a wedding party right underneath and they all got sprayed.

02:00:02.000 Yeah, the legend of the Dave Matthews band.

02:00:07.000 I don't want to say what it's called, but we'll call it the ish shower.

02:00:11.000 Yep, those were the days, man.

02:00:15.000 All right.

02:00:16.000 Yeah, man.

02:00:17.000 Sheldon France says, Submariner here, our SSBNs have the capacity to carry enough nuclear warheads to blow up a majority of the world.

02:00:25.000 We have 14 of them.

02:00:28.000 I don't know why, it's not a good thing.

02:00:30.000 But what do you do when everyone else is doing it, man?

02:00:34.000 Mike Derusha says greens in a salad are dandelion leaves.

02:00:38.000 Greens?

02:00:38.000 What do you mean greens?

02:00:40.000 Like collard greens or what?

02:00:43.000 I think just the greens in the salad.

02:00:45.000 It's a strange sentence.

02:00:46.000 I think the sentence fragment was improperly typed.

02:00:48.000 It's quote, greens, end quote, in a salad.

02:00:51.000 I don't know, is that like what, spring mix or something?

02:00:54.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

02:00:54.000 I know you can eat dandelion.

02:00:56.000 I didn't know that dandelion is not native to here and we brought it here because it was medicinal.

02:01:00.000 And then I started watching all these videos of these mountain hillbillies doing, they do the deep fried dandelion.

02:01:07.000 It's like an Appalachia thing.

02:01:09.000 Yeah, I'm excited to try it.

02:01:10.000 We just don't have any dandelions right now.

02:01:11.000 All right, last I'm going to say on the Chicago River getting dye green.

02:01:14.000 They do it with 60 pounds of dye and it's top secret formula that they call leprechaun dust.

02:01:20.000 Someone commented that it was like a totally safe plant based food dye.

02:01:25.000 Then it must be true.

02:01:26.000 I hope it is.

02:01:27.000 Dear God, how could you do that to your fish pot?

02:01:29.000 When did they start doing it?

02:01:33.000 Sixties?

02:01:34.000 No, no.

02:01:35.000 Some guy at a big factory and he's like, what am I gonna do with all this industrial waste?

02:01:39.000 1962.

02:01:39.000 Orange when it's in powder.

02:01:41.000 Just dump it in the river.

02:01:42.000 It's orange?

02:01:43.000 When it's dry.

02:01:44.000 Oh, weird.

02:01:44.000 I don't know.

02:03:10.000 saw it and wanted to know if they could do it again for St.

02:03:12.000 Patrick's Day.
