Alex Jones is back on X, Elon Musk has restored him, and the Vaping Swami has left his mic on and relieved himself in the bathroom while listening to Alex's show. Harvard University's President resigns over a plagiarism scandal, and Saturday Night Live is getting slammed because they made Elise Stefanik look stupid.
00:00:52.000And another component of the story is that apparently, during the space on X, The Vape Krama Swami left his mic on and relieved himself in the bathroom while everyone listened.
00:01:16.000Ladies and gentlemen, it is a victory, victory, victory kind of day starting off, especially with the return of not just Alex Jones, but also Owen Schroyer, who's out of jail.
00:01:24.000And we're also hearing that not just the president of UPenn, but also one of their board members, I believe the chair, have resigned over this major scandal.
00:01:32.000And Saturday Night Live is getting slammed because guess what?
00:01:37.000They made Elise Stefanik, the Republican rep, look stupid, they mocked her, and tried to make the presidents of these universities look good.
00:01:46.000The interesting thing is, the president of Harvard apparently is now embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.
00:01:50.000So we'll get into all that, but before we get started, my friends, head over to TheBestSongEver.com and click pre-order on Amazon, which you can see right there.
00:02:03.000Together Again is the best song ever written.
00:02:05.000And I can say it because I didn't write it.
00:02:07.000It was written by, uh, I don't know who the writing credits go to, but it is written and performed by Smokey Mike and the God King, who you probably know as Jeremy Boring and Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire.
00:02:17.000And let me just give you the simple version.
00:02:20.000They wrote this song essentially as a big F you to the music industry that says no outsiders and is captured by the woke and we wrote our cover of their song mocking modern music for much the same reason and the whole point of the song is basically just a mockery of the music industry being captured by woke institutions.
00:02:38.000The music video and song drops December 15th so this Friday but you can pre-order right now And if we sell enough of these through iTunes or Amazon, we will hit the billboard charts and then that middle finger will be in their own industry.

00:03:58.000My name is Zorkadowski here of WeAreChange.org and it's an incredible time to be alive.
00:04:03.000It almost feels like it's a renaissance.
00:04:05.000We have an anarchistic president of Argentina that is firing bureaucrats about to shut down their central bank.
00:04:12.000Owen Schroer was just released from jail Alex Jones was ... just reinstated and did a space with Elon Musk Andrew ... Tate Patrick bad David congressman Matt Gates holy ... freaking cow it definitely seems like the tide is turning ... I host of course the best political show.com and if ... you want to support me you can buy getting one of these ... wonderful shirts that I have right now perfect for family ... gatherings that to talk about how Christmas likes are like ...
00:04:38.000According to blank, blank, blank, which you could find out what it says by going to, of course, thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:04:44.000Guys, thank you so much for having me.
00:04:52.000Like there's something's coming to a head that, like, people are separating the ones that are willing to risk and sacrifice their lives for what they believe in are standing out.
00:05:00.000Like, it's really, really hit me hard the other night.
00:05:12.000All right, ladies and gentlemen, the big news over the weekend, and we're using Snopes for our story here because, believe it or not, the least biased story about the return of Alex Jones, sort of, is Snopes!
00:05:26.000Alex Jones's ex-account was reinstated by Elon Musk, the founder of conspiracy theory website Infowars, was banned from Twitter, currently known as X, in 2018 and reinstated in 2023.
00:05:36.000Now, I do want to just point out, If you're gonna call InfoWars a conspiracy theory website, I can call Snopes, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the list goes on.
00:05:49.000We can call them all conspiracy theory websites.
00:05:54.000Because they all run stories and have historically done so.
00:05:58.000Like, the idea that the government was spying on us.
00:06:11.000In December 2023, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Twitter account, RealAlexJones, was reinstated by Elon Musk after having been banned for abusive behavior since 2018.
00:06:41.000Of course, the media is absolutely losing their mind over the return of Alex Jones.
00:06:46.000They're saying a whole bunch of really dumb things, and they're insulting Elon Musk over the whole thing, but let's just call this a major victory.
00:06:54.000Well, conspiracy theories are really just spoiler alerts.
00:06:57.000They're just news headlines six months ahead of the time, and I am pissed off at the cultural appropriation of something that I've been labeled for over 20 years.
00:07:05.000Conspiracy theories have, of course, A new day and age on this internet as of course no one ... takes the term seriously anymore as a lot of the ... people who are accused of it have usually been right and it's ... beautiful it's amazing to see this kind of emotional ... hyperbolic freak out from CNN from the Rolling Stones from ... all these other establishment.
00:07:51.000And I think that that's exactly what they sought to do.
00:07:53.000They really thought that they could get rid of Alex Jones.
00:07:55.000And I think that's been really interesting to watch because if there's one thing that I've noticed in the past couple of years, it's that They can cancel you from certain platforms.
00:08:03.000They can cancel you from certain corporate corporations.
00:08:06.000But at the end of the day, if you have a certain following and you've been proven right time and time again, and that's certainly the case with Alex Jones, there's still going to be a population of people that want to hear from you.
00:08:20.000And as far as a business owner, somebody like Elon Musk, if he owns X, then it's going to be the smart thing to do to allow him to be sought out on his platform.
00:08:30.000So, I think what you see a lot with figures like Alex is they just, they try to, they think that if they remove the platform that they can remove him.
00:08:39.000But he already has his following, and that wasn't going anywhere.
00:08:41.000People were going to seek him out regardless.
00:08:42.000Andrew Tate, on the show, on the X episode, if you haven't watched it after the show, you gotta watch the X show with all these guys on it.
00:08:49.000Andrew Tate came in and he said, everything, people think they own things.
00:08:58.000And that's something that Alex has stuck with for his entire career, which I appreciate.
00:09:02.000And I think that's why he's still popular.
00:09:04.000I think Elon Musk is doing the obvious thing in terms of free speech.
00:09:09.000I don't believe that Elon Musk ever really bought the reason for Alex Jones's ban.
00:09:14.000So when Elon buys Twitter, he says, well, you know, Alex Jones ragged on, you know, Sandy Hook families and said horrible things about him, so I'm not bringing him back.
00:09:22.000I don't think Elon actually believed it.
00:09:24.000I think what Elon was actually saying, and again, my opinion, I could be totally wrong about this because I can't read Elon's mind.
00:09:28.000He was probably saying, guys, there's only so much I can do.
00:09:37.000But Elon's like, yo, we're trying to maintain control here and gradually move the line.
00:09:43.000If we just go nuts and just unleash the damn right now, we can get shut down like they did to Parler.
00:09:47.000But I think there's actually something really simple in all this too.
00:09:50.000We can sit here and say Elon Musk is ideologically motivated and fighting the good fight, sure.
00:09:54.000But let's be realistic about the business prospects of what he did on X. Like you mentioned, Alex Jones' audience still exists.
00:10:02.000So the analogy I gave earlier on my channel was like, the poll Elon Musk did was like, imagine you owned a cupcake shop, and all your customers are in the lobby, and you just yell, how many of you would buy a pumpkin cupcake and they all raise their hand?
00:10:20.000Just like with The Daily Wire, making all these movies, Elon Musk is looking at Alex Jones getting millions of views while being banned from everywhere and he's thinking, if I let Alex Jones on Twitter, I have a monopoly on Alex Jones.
00:10:40.000And I think it's not an accident that a lot of this is happening on the heels of Apple, Disney, Comcast and other major corporations saying, hey, we're no longer going to advertise on, of course, Twitter and X. Elon Musk responded saying in a very French way, screw off.
00:10:58.000And by doing so, this is he could say it.
00:11:02.000But when his actions are met by bringing back Alex Jones, that's the biggest F off kind of moment that you could have that are far more powerful than just the words that he used.
00:11:14.000But imagine, because it's not just these corporations, it's not just Facebook, it's not just YouTube, it's not individuals.
00:11:21.000Banning Alex Jones from all these social media platforms.
00:11:24.000There are federal agents that orchestrated all of this.
00:11:27.000There are federal agencies that literally worked on silencing and making sure that no one could hear Alex Jones, his opinions, or his perspectives at all.
00:11:36.000Imagine being that federal agent right now.
00:11:38.000A couple of years ago, I'd be like, yes, we banned him on Spotify.
00:11:40.000We banned him on all these other... LinkedIn.
00:11:57.000One of our Super Chats, Greg Duvier, says that he's asking the elites would still have control of Twitter if they didn't ban the Babylon Bee.
00:12:04.000And I said, I bet they regret that every day.
00:12:06.000I don't think that's the real reason Elon Musk bought Twitter.
00:12:09.000And I say this because I was at a party in Austin with a bunch of big tech bros and people who are friends with with Elon and a bunch of other conservative commentators and libertarians, and the whole conversation was around how they use big tech to censor and control culture.
00:12:23.000And I was arguing with them like, guys, culture is more important than technology.
00:12:27.000Technology is important, but like winning the culture matters.
00:12:30.000And their argument, Elon wasn't there or anything, but their argument was basically If they ban you, you can't make culture at all.
00:12:38.000If on Twitter they have banned all instances of a certain word, then they have basically created a path, the only path you can go down.
00:12:47.000And so, unsurprisingly, Elon ends up buying the platform.
00:12:50.000It may be that the final straw was the Babylon Bee got banned.
00:12:54.000I think that's a good narrative, especially for someone like Elon.
00:12:58.000But I kind of feel like this is a long time coming.
00:13:01.000I think Elon's paying attention to all this stuff.
00:13:19.000Somebody has to make a cultural difference.
00:13:21.000And right now, the only way to really do that is to have some sort of Influence on in cities where the cultural hubs are now is that good culture that we have right now?
00:13:30.000No, but it's the same thing as social media platforms like as much as we don't want to have to participate in you know walking around Walking on eggshells when it comes to these social media platforms like we did for so long with Twitter We have to have a presence on these apps, on these social media platforms in order to make some sort of cultural change as conservatives.
00:13:51.000Elon did something where he saw, OK, well, the only way for this for there to be a fair sort of cultural balance out there would be to give conservatives the opportunity to be on this app.
00:14:02.000I think it wasn't necessarily like a political move per se, although he'll argue he's free speech.
00:14:08.000I think that if he were, he would bring back Nick Fuentes, and I think that he wouldn't have created the poll, and maybe we differ on that or we disagree on that, but I think that the poll was all about self-preservation and was more about, and to be fair, feds would have come after him too, so to your point, like, You know there were feds involved in silencing people like Alex Jones and even Nick Fuentes and others like that so I think it's all about well I can point back to this was the people's decision and they might still come after him but at the end of the day like I do think that was partly an opportunity for himself to for him to protect himself but I think ultimately he did it for there to be some sort of balance out there which I think is good but again not necessarily politically motivated.
00:15:28.000And he's thinking, Look, that meme he posted where it's the left moving further and further left, he's realized what many of us have realized.
00:16:25.000If you look at his contracts with the defense industry, with the US military, with the Pentagon, when it comes to Starlink, when it comes to providing Ukraine and Israel satellite technology that are used for defensive and offensive capabilities, those capabilities are at his disposal to use and implement as he wants.
00:16:44.000That, to me, in my opinion, is why he's going to be kind of protected here.
00:16:49.000And if it wasn't for those kind of larger government contracts, And the larger kind of game that he plays with a lot of the bigger kind of players here, I think he would have been gone.
00:16:59.000I think he would have been destroyed a long time ago.
00:17:01.000And I think this really does play a central role in a lot of this.
00:17:04.000So I got Alex Jones pulled over right here.
00:17:06.000And one of his tweets from 22 minutes ago, Jack Posobiec issues emergency warning, deep state planning direct war with Russia as October surprise.
00:17:14.000Now, excuse me, this is from Jack Posobiec, Alex Jones putting out this information.
00:17:19.000This is exactly why they don't want Alex Jones having a voice.
00:17:23.000Because y'all remember when Alex Jones went on the show and said that, come February, there's going to be a war, it's going to be big.
00:17:30.000And then when Russia invaded Ukraine, everybody immediately was tweeting Alex Jones was right.
00:17:54.000Alex is a guy who reads the news and then says it, he like, looks at all these articles and brings them together.
00:17:58.000Granted, he says a lot of crazy things, he gets crazy things wrong, like he was talking about cell phones and animal hybrids, whatever that's about.
00:18:02.000But he gets a lot of things right when it comes to this stuff.
00:18:05.000It wasn't shocking to anybody who actually listens to him that he accurately called out a war, because all he was doing was holding up, like, articles from the AP.
00:18:11.000That's what he's doing here, retweeting Jack Posobiec.
00:18:15.000And it's not just him, it's members of the Polish government, members of the German government coming out.
00:18:20.000One of Germany's top soldiers just came out and said that they are, of course, Planning on potentially even having a defensive war against Russia.
00:18:28.000Of course, there's there's no such thing.
00:18:31.000But this is something that it's not just Alex Jones talking about.
00:18:35.000Government officials are actually talking about this and setting down essentially the groundwork for what could be a big potential conflict that could potentially unfold, especially right before this election.
00:18:46.000I want to pull up this tweet from Steven Crowder.
00:18:48.000It is from his discussion with Alex Jones this morning.
00:18:50.000He says, quote, This was a strategic Democratic party and PR operation.
00:18:55.000Alex Jones clears the air on why his Twitter account was banned, how it feels to be reinstated on X by Elon, as well as what his future plans are.
00:19:03.000So let's play this clip so we can hear it straight from Crowder's show.
00:19:06.000Because of something to do with Sandy Hook.
00:19:09.000A lot of people think that you were banned from Twitter because of something to do with Sandy Hook.
00:19:14.000Elon clarified that the reason you were banned from Twitter had to do with that sniveling worm Oliver Darcy.
00:19:33.000Later, before they ever sued me, They were saying I'm the Sandy Hook guy and I'm attacking the families and sending people to their houses and none of it was true and no one was even going to their houses and people were peeing on graves and none of it was true.
00:19:53.000I did an apology tour on Joe Rogan and Patrick McDavid before I even got sued and said, hey, here I am years ago saying I think it happened.
00:20:00.000And they said, oh, now you admit you lied and did it for money.
00:20:12.000I think we know for a fact that right now as we're entering 2024, I mean so this is back in 2018, entering 2024 we have, I'm not gonna name the groups, you guys can if you want to, there are these Democrat PR, Democrat, non-profit, 501c4 type organizations, all they do is launch lawsuits in order to win elections.
00:20:33.000If you think the 2024 election is simply how many people can go and cast their ballot, you're wrong.
00:20:38.000A whole lot of it is going to be procedural fights, it's going to be court battles, and I think a big component Of why not just Alex Jones, because it was a coordinated move that got him banned.
00:20:48.000Like, we can see him wiped from every platform instantly.
00:21:12.000Especially with other institutions like Rumble out there.
00:21:15.000Now, Rumble also has a very interesting lawsuit against some of these, you call them democratic organizations, I call them more government intel connected organizations that are also financed with billionaires, individuals' names, like George Soros, who of course do play a major role in our political discourse.
00:21:33.000When you see the kind of coordinated attacks that happened a couple years ago, it wasn't social media.
00:21:59.000Your tax dollars essentially financed a lot of this and I really hope that these new lawsuits really shed a light and we have a lot of discovery specifically when it comes to the larger involvement of outside forces, not just democratic organizations that are playing a major role here.
00:22:15.000Well you mentioned Soros and I think that's actually a really crucial part to all of this because for so long the way that they got you to not ask questions or file lawsuits was they kind of associated insulting Soros, criticizing Soros with you being anti-semitic or you know calling you names, throwing labels at you and that was actually quite effective for a few years there I would say between Trump running in 2015 to about 2019, that was pretty effective to throw certain labels at you.
00:22:42.000Then I think Americans started to wake up, by and large, people who weren't even political by nature, they started to realize, okay, these labels don't actually mean anything because my next-door neighbor is being called a racist for having a Gadsden flag or something like that.
00:22:54.000They started to realize these labels didn't mean anything.
00:22:57.000Then they started actually investigating it, who Soros really is.
00:23:00.000I think more Americans are aware of These strategies that the left has used for so long are just the, you know, the uniparty at large to silence us.
00:23:08.000This idea that you can't question anything.
00:23:11.000Americans are aware more than ever before that we've been lied to about not just the government, but about who these people are that we're surrounded by in our communities.
00:23:19.000And, you know, we look around like, you know, the people who were silenced very early on, and we're like, like Milo Yiannopoulos, for example, or Gavin McInnes, and it's like, these people are not who they told us they were.
00:23:30.000You know, I know the exact moment when the tides turned.
00:23:34.000It was when Taylor Swift called out George Soros several years ago.
00:23:38.000I'm half kidding by the way, but Taylor Swift calls out the Soros family because they undercut her and I do think That does open the door a little bit for people to criticize George Soros.
00:23:50.000A lot of conservatives are attacking Taylor, but I'm like, dude, she put up this big post talking about how her music was stolen from her.
00:24:12.000Like, I mean, like, I think that in order to make something to be effective, you need to somehow bring it into the mainstream.
00:24:18.000It can't just be a, like, political junkie talking point.
00:24:21.000This is why I think it's a psy-op, all these conservatives attacking Taylor Swift.
00:24:25.000Because all of a sudden these accounts on Twitter are like, Taylor's working for George Soros, and I was like, well, she doesn't like the guy.
00:24:33.000You got- I think this would be a really great video for Freedom Tunes, where it's like a bunch of 17-year-old girls screaming, George Soros ripped off Taylor Swift, and the media's calling them all anti-Semites.
00:24:43.000It's a shame that that guy's not here.
00:24:44.000But anyway, I wanted to bring up another point here, what we were just talking about, because it was Alex.
00:24:54.000A lot of big, prominent individuals were censored.
00:24:57.000But more importantly, a lot of kind of smaller, up-and-coming content creators were also censored and then obliterated and had their entire careers destroyed.
00:25:07.000They weren't the big players that could sustain these attacks.
00:25:10.000And I think truly the biggest damage that happened was on all the people that are coming up that we're going to have an impact now, that we're going to be prominent, that we're going to be big, but had no chance because the algorithm screwed them over, destroyed them, demonetized them, and hurt our kind of discourse more than we could even imagine.
00:25:32.000Wargaming, I mean, if we're really concerned with a war with Russia, we have to look at this as common sense, realistic as possible, that these centralized services are vulnerabilities.
00:25:40.000Like, if Elon holds Twitter on a central service, Verizon can shut him down, the government can go in there and get his whoever, wherever they're hosted can shut him down.
00:25:48.000They need to decentralize this service as quick as possible.
00:25:52.000They need something like Briar or Noster or something where we can run it on our phones decentralized.
00:26:06.000And what will be happening probably to Twitter, as of course Twitter also had a lot of very important infrastructure problems.
00:26:12.000And I think the next step, if they can't silence the person, if they can't silence the voice, they're going to silence the megaphone that people speak through.
00:26:19.000And these are the attacks that we should be keeping an eye out right now.
00:26:23.000Elon Musk gives the big FU at that New York Times event.
00:26:27.000These advertisers are cancelling and he says they're going to be the ones that destroyed this company.
00:26:32.000I think we did briefly mention this a couple weeks ago.
00:26:34.000Elon Musk could theoretically just say, I am federating X. Meaning, it will be a decentralized open source infrastructure that connects to all the other infrastructure.
00:26:45.000And it will, X will never go anywhere then.
00:26:48.000Because now you're integrated in this decentralized open source network.
00:26:52.000He can easily offset tons of the cost through open sourcing and distributed, decentralizing servers and services through the, what's called the Fediverse.
00:27:02.000And then there would be a major business loss.
00:27:05.000The big challenge with this is that he took out loans to buy X. But if X is on the verge of collapse, this may play out poorly for him.
00:27:14.000But I do think The richest man whose net worth is currently, as of today, estimated $244 billion.
00:27:19.000I kind of think he can stand to lose $44 billion.
00:27:40.000Open source decentralizes our best path to maintain the platform and retain memberships and advertising.
00:27:45.000The Fediverse is great, although if they stay centralized on like big data centers or in AWS or cloud, wherever they're hosting, that can still get shut out of the Fediverse.
00:27:55.000So you're looking at... Versus a mesh network?
00:27:57.000Yeah, mesh networks, which are like really up and coming and they're challenging still to transmit video because they're, you know, cell phone to cell phone.
00:28:04.000But yeah, 50 cell phones, 48 of them go down.
00:28:06.000The other two are still connected with Twitter.
00:28:10.000But if the establishment is really desperate, right, and they're about to lose a lot of power, and they're about to be held accountable for all the horrible things they did to us, how far do you think they're going to go to stop that from happening?
00:28:22.000I think we have to examine that in a very critical way, because I think they're willing to go very far.
00:28:27.000I think they're willing to do a lot of crazy things that we can't even imagine right now, to just how far they will go to say, hey, There's going to be no accountability here.
00:28:37.000There's going to be no truth here because as soon as the people find out the truth, it's game over for them.
00:28:44.000They're so in a fragile situation that truly this is a very dangerous time for all of us.
00:28:51.000Yeah, I think wherever we're thinking, they're thinking a step ahead.
00:28:54.000Like, I think that they're aware that that would be our plan B or plan C. Like, I think they're fully aware of the direction this is headed in.
00:29:00.000They wouldn't do the things that they're doing, or they wouldn't have done the things that they have done to us for years if they didn't, if they weren't able to think one step ahead.
00:29:07.000I mean, it's the same argument you can make for Donald Trump.
00:29:10.000Everybody's like, well, you know, we're so back, he's gonna win, whatever.
00:29:14.000But, I mean, We're talking about the deep state here.
00:29:18.000There's nothing that's too far for them.
00:29:22.000The Titanic can crash into an iceberg.
00:29:24.000There's a lot of conspiracies about that too.
00:29:27.000If I'm using it as an analogy, I'm not making it literal.
00:29:30.000You can build the biggest ship, you can design it to rip through ice, and then you come across bedrock and be like, we did not expect that to happen.
00:29:39.000And then boom, we tore the hole and now we're sinking.
00:29:41.000It's possible, sure, they can see far ahead and they may be thinking abandon ship.
00:29:46.000Yeah, there's a lot of bankers there against the US Federal Reserve, but that's a different story.
00:29:49.000But I do believe that you could be correct in your sentiments, but just understanding how they work and what they did to the people, especially within the last three years.
00:30:00.000Especially within the last 22 years, especially what happened in New York City.
00:30:05.000When you calculate all of their moves and decisions, nothing is out of the realm of possibility here to how far they will go to stop people from finding out what they're really up to.
00:30:17.000Well let me pull up this tweet here from Chris Pavlovsky, the CEO of Rumble.
00:30:22.000He tweets, I can confirm this attack has been unprecedented and has been happening since this weekend.
00:30:28.000Rumble, for those that are just tuning in, has been under a cyber attack and this may be related to Alex Jones.
00:30:35.000But look, let's be real, Rumble is really challenging the machine.
00:30:38.000Alex Jones was restored on X and it was announced that he would be appearing on Steven Crowder's show.
00:30:43.000This morning, all of a sudden, Rumble is slammed.
00:30:45.000Viva Fry tweeted, I was planning to go live, but Rumble and Locals are down.
00:30:49.000Apparently it is a massive, unprecedented attack, one that is likely politically motivated.
00:30:55.000If I have any updates, I'll let everyone know.
00:30:57.000Chris Pavlovsky followed up by saying, I also suspect it is political, coming from activists and or organizations who want to censor our creators and related to J6 videos being posted on Rumble.
00:31:13.000When he was in, I was like, you gotta decentralize this service.
00:31:16.000And I know he knew I was right, and we also both know the momentous amount of effort that would require, and especially the challenge to stream video from, like, a mesh.
00:31:28.000But I know Chris is thinking about it.
00:31:55.000It's becoming a very serious contender to one of the biggest online media companies in the world, a monopoly on the industry that, of course, abuses their power routinely and hosts particular shows and platforms that are major.
00:32:12.000And when they see a competitor coming out and doing their job better and allowing the free market to actually speak and represent itself, Holy cow, that is a danger to their business.
00:32:39.000It could be someone trying to get you to think that it's Google doing it to rumble or getting you to think that it's the American government doing it to rumble to sow dissent.
00:32:46.000But I think the most obvious answer is it's someone that didn't like the politics.
00:32:52.000Well, I think I think you bring up a good point.
00:32:54.000I think oftentimes we have an enemy like the CCP, for example, and a lot of times we see these cyber attacks and it gets blamed on the CCP.
00:33:02.000And it's peculiar because even the people that do business with the CCP will say that, you know, people like Joe Biden and the administration and say, oh, it's the CCP.
00:33:11.000Well, I wonder how many times they blame it on these other on our enemies when really it's them.
00:33:16.000Like you saw with the whole balloon situation.
00:33:18.000Oh, well, it's the CCP, but for some reason we can't shoot it down.
00:33:23.000Well, we had our reservations about that.
00:33:25.000We weren't exactly certain that that was the case, given what the government has done in the past, but I think that they do take advantage of our enemies and they blame it on that.
00:33:32.000I think in the case of Rumble, obviously Rumble wouldn't be the ones to blame it on a fake enemy, but I can see like some sort of Story coming out blaming it on the CCP or something like that or maybe even Russia but I mean I just I think as people who are in tune with politics we have to be careful that we don't allow them to use our enemies as a way to as a way to get away from their own responsibility of the fact that they did it because the government's obviously never gonna tell us oh we did it or or YouTube's never gonna be like we did it you know.
00:34:02.000I don't think we're ever going to find out who's really responsible here and who actually did do it.
00:34:06.000It could be a lot of different people, too, working in conjunction.
00:34:10.000I think a lot about the CCP like that, because I, although I am concerned with that authoritarian economic, you know, autocracy, whatever, oligarchy, I guess, communist oligarchy, I don't want to, like, say that's just the purest evil on earth and every, because then it's just going to send the U.S.
00:34:28.000Well, it's the same thing they did with Russia.
00:34:29.000I mean, they make Putin out to look a certain way, and it's like, they make him look like he's some evil dictator, but it's like, no one actually breaks down his reasoning for what he's doing, nobody actually- and it's a disservice to ourselves, because then we don't actually understand who we're dealing with.
00:34:43.000Whoever side you're on, it's a disservice to not understand who your supposed enemy is.
00:34:48.000But they don't want you to think about that, because if you did think about it, and you did start researching it, you might actually realize that they've lied to you about who he is, and who our enemies are in general.
00:34:57.000So it's, they make it out to be like, oh don't question it, they're just your enemy.
00:35:01.000It's just your enemy, don't question it.
00:35:02.000But there are so many people who just don't want to be involved in politics and want to plug their ears and say la la la la la, they want to live in denial.
00:35:09.000And you know man, I think they're the last ones off the Titanic if they even make it off.
00:35:15.000The people who are, imagine this, you're on the Titanic and hit an iceberg and you were standing near the front of the ship and saw it happen.
00:35:33.000There's going to be a lot of people who don't make it.
00:35:35.000But at the same time, I, you know, I say that, but I think more than ever, people are getting the opportunity to finally speak to each other and find out what's really going on.
00:35:45.000I think there is an opportunity to awaken a lot of people.
00:35:48.000There are some people that still love to have their heads in the sand and their tickets up there laid for whoever wants to go out there and take it.
00:35:58.000And those individuals, I think, more and more now, especially with Bidenomics, especially with the Build Back Better policies, are seeing the real cost of being ignorant to politics.
00:36:07.000Of course, if you ignore politics, politics is not going to ignore you.
00:36:10.000And a lot of people have been bamboozled, have been screwed over.
00:36:14.000And now they're saying, hey, hold on, maybe I should be paying attention to what's going on here because this actually does have a real effect on my life.
00:36:21.000So in one sense, yes, I do see people kind of being blind to certain situations, but I do see those blinds being lifted now more than ever.
00:36:30.000I assume it's people with young children or people that want to have young children.
00:36:34.000They have a reason to think outside the box about the future.
00:36:37.000But like older people that are collecting their social security, they're just like, shut up and I want to just watch TV.
00:36:43.000But there's a new data that was just released by a CNN poll.
00:36:47.000Donald Trump, I think it's in Michigan, has a lead of 40 points among people who did not vote in 2020.
00:36:54.000Trump's biggest gains are among non-voters.
00:36:57.000Like people who didn't vote are waking up and they're deciding I'm voting for Trump and that's what's giving Trump the bump.
00:37:56.000The reason for this is war, conflict, crisis.
00:37:59.000The people need to say that this duly elected representative is not fit because of high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:38:04.000Afterwards, we can say what they do is criminal.
00:38:06.000The reason being, if you could just criminally charge a president whenever you wanted, then every state would file criminal charges immediately against the president because they didn't want him to be president.
00:38:16.000It would be like, imagine the Civil War.
00:38:18.000After the Civil War, they're having elections.
00:38:22.000Yeah, a former confederate state would just be like, we're criminally charging the president with these things.
00:38:49.000I think they're listening to people like us, and they're wondering, waiting for us to tell them what to do.
00:38:54.000That's like the scary part, kind of, in a way, is like, not the responsibility, but also like how things are hanging by a thread right now.
00:39:08.000Because Tucker was talking about that the other day sort of he was saying like you know I've because of all of these indictments and everything like I've become a bigger Trump supporters what he's saying I think a lot of Americans feel that way and I think that would be a breaking point for a lot of people and I don't you know it's hard to say what they would do per se but I think that that would certainly be crossing the line for a lot of people who In the past, either voted for him because they liked his economic policies or thought he was a better option, but I think that as he gets indicted more and more, and that's not even my opinion, these are just statistics too, more people are supporting him openly and more fervently than ever before, and I think that means something for if that does happen.
00:40:17.000The risk to Trump's life because of what's happening.
00:40:21.000However, I do think it's also important to consider If we win enough culturally and shift the narrative enough in this country, it would make the option of going after Trump inviolable, right?
00:40:35.000Going after Trump with violence only matters if they have the power to maintain control of a system.
00:40:42.000If it becomes apparent that Bud Light's failure, Disney's failure, the expansion of X, If this becomes so apparent that we are going to win, what happens is the powers that be just say, oh, I was always for free speech, and they'll jump ship and quickly rush over because they want to preserve their own lives.
00:41:02.000So I think all we have to do, stay the course, build culture, support Daily Wire and their movie efforts, Uh, support shows like Tim Cass, Steven Crowder, support Jimmy Dore, just anti-establishment individuals.
00:41:16.000Buy The Best Song Ever, go to thebestsongever.com, buy our song, pre-order it, it'll be out Friday.
00:41:22.000The reason is, we want to win the culture war.
00:41:33.000Buy all your products from Public Square.
00:41:34.000Just hammer down all these cultural victories and make sure they know the money's not there, the confidence is not there, and if you take extreme action, you will lose.
00:41:45.000There's also WeAreChange.chop that's also pretty good, but... And t-shirts!
00:41:58.000And some people have even theorized that they're trying to push the American people over the edge.
00:42:03.000That they're trying to kind of spur a reaction to them that will create a problem that they're going to have a solution for.
00:42:09.000So that's also something to kind of think about here, looking at everything else.
00:42:12.000But as you mentioned, Tim, A lot of people are really banking and hoping that the election is going to solve a lot of problems for the individual.
00:42:22.000What will solve the problems are people taking personal responsibility for themselves.
00:42:26.000Are people who are going to decide to vote with their clicks, their likes, their views, their dollars, saying, hey, I'm going to support the local farm over there.
00:42:35.000I'm not going to support big factory farming.
00:42:37.000I'm going to go get some, you know, things like raw milk, if they're good for you.
00:42:41.000I'm going to actually do some homework and research into the ways that we are being poisoned into the larger biological war that is being waged on men and women in this country.
00:42:50.000I'm going to make sure I am the strongest, best version of myself, and I don't need the system.
00:42:56.000I'm going to live outside of it in my own free, honest, real way.
00:43:01.000That right there is a beautiful act of resistance.
00:43:04.000I got a fact check, Patriot, with a good fact check saying, after being convicted on impeachment charges, Tim, President Trump was impeached.
00:43:36.000Missouri AG launches investigation into media matters.
00:43:40.000AG Andrew Bailey, quote, I'm fighting to ensure progressive tyrants masquerading as news outlets cannot manipulate the marketplace in order to wipe out free speech.
00:43:50.000Attorney General Andrew Bailey says we have reason to believe Media Matters used fraud to solicit donations from Missourians in order to bully advertisers into pulling out of X, the last platform dedicated to free speech in America we have launched an investigation.
00:44:07.000According to data from Axe, as well as numerous reports, Media Matters appeared to have created fake accounts, or created dummy accounts using new accounts, following specifically advertisers and extremists.
00:44:21.000That way, the content would appear next to each other, and they could then go to the advertiser and say, see, look, your content appears next to extremists, which is a disingenuous version of events.
00:44:32.000That being the case, for Media Matters to claim this thing happened when according to X, their staff, Enyon Musk, it happened like two times, the argument is Media Matters is defrauding donors by tricking them into thinking they're actually solving a problem when in fact that problem doesn't even exist.
00:44:57.000I know that, I believe, Texas is filing several suits too, right?
00:45:01.000The Attorney General there is doing that, yes.
00:45:06.000Let me read the letter here so we can get the specifics here.
00:45:10.000Andrew Bailey of Missouri says, this letter serves as a formal document, hold notice under federal and Missouri law.
00:45:14.000The Missouri Attorney General's Office has opened an investigation into Media Matters for America regarding your firm's potentially unlawful business practices.
00:45:21.000Media Matters is a, I believe they're a 501c4 non-profit, I could be wrong.
00:45:26.000But they, all they do all day is watch what they view as conservative media and then post things.
00:45:33.000Often times, they're out of context or manipulative.
00:45:37.000But here's more, he says, as you are no doubt aware, a federal lawsuit has been filed against Media Matters, raising serious allegations that your firm falsely and deceptively manipulated the algorithm on Axe, formerly known as Twitter, through coordinated inauthentic behavior, and that you did so in an attempt to defame the organization and cause advertisers to pull their support from the platform, thus harming free speech.
00:45:56.000The lawsuit alleges that you lied to the public, falsely suggesting that fringe extremist content regularly appears next to content from corporate advertisers, when in fact the opposite is true.
00:46:04.000At the same time, you appear to have used this coordinated inauthentic activity to solicit charitable donations from consumers across the country.
00:46:10.000I have reason to believe that your firm's alleged actions may have violated Missouri consumer protection laws, including laws that prohibit non-profit entities from soliciting funds under false pretenses.
00:46:19.000I am especially concerned that Media Matters' actions, if proven true, have hampered free speech by targeting an expressly pro-free speech social media platform in an attempt To cause it financial harm while defrauding Missourians in the process.
00:46:30.000You are thus hereby instructed to preserve all records that may relate to your alleged effort to engage in coordinated inauthentic behavior on social media platforms in order to generate false statements that were used to solicit charitable contributions under false pretenses.
00:46:44.000You are instructed in particular to preserve all records that may relate to your webpage which expressly solicit funds at the following URL.
00:46:53.000He then goes on to list several other documentation that must be preserved.
00:46:57.000So this is a notice to preserve documents, which means the investigation is about to begin.
00:47:01.000Missouri expects to get into the discovery phase, and it very well may be that as we enter 2024, the lawfare ramps up substantially more than just private actors filing lawsuits.
00:47:13.000And on top of Missouri, we may see I gotta be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if every single state AG has some kind of lawsuit fired away in an attempt to advantage themselves in this election.
00:47:27.000It's not just about votes, it's not just about vote policy, it's about speech capabilities.
00:47:33.000It's about Media Matters trying to take down Axe, and now Missouri fighting to defend Axe because Axe is in favor of free speech.
00:47:58.000This is really big to set this sort of precedent for, you know, we will come after you if you try to influence, you know, defraud people essentially. I mean,
00:48:07.000that's the argument they're making here.
00:48:08.000And, you know, you look at these other outlets like, you know, Right Wing Watch,
00:48:12.000what's the other one, the big one, Patriot Takes and other ones like that, where they take
00:48:15.000things out of context and they could be doing the same thing. I don't know. I mean, it's worth...
00:48:21.000So Rumble is suing CheckMyAds, I believe, the two founders.
00:48:26.000And what this group does is they contact advertisers for various conservative outlets and then try to get the advertisers to pull out.
00:48:33.000I can say they have made numerous deceptive statements about us and used that to solicit donations.
00:48:40.000Notably, they claimed that I pushed the quote-unquote big lie, which the big lie refers to Donald Trump saying he won in 2020.
00:48:47.000Anybody who's ever watched this show knows that I have never claimed Trump won 2020, and I actually argued with Bannon twice that Trump lost because people did not like him, and they didn't vote for Biden, they voted against Trump.
00:49:00.000And Steve Bannon actually went, huh, I said Trump got anti-elected.
00:49:04.000There's no enthusiasm for Biden, they were voting against Trump, and he goes, that's pretty good, anti-elected, yeah.
00:49:08.000So I'm like, The fact that they would raise money off of making that claim, it shows these organizations are deceiving people in order to raise money.
00:49:17.000For the record, they're a 501c3, Media Matters is.
00:51:43.000And it's like, well, as you sit there not paying attention, uh, your burrito bowls are becoming very expensive.
00:51:48.000Now, for those of us that are paying attention, we're like, perhaps it was the several hundred billion dollars spent in foreign war garbage over the past couple years and the massive spending that, uh, resulted in hyperinflation.
00:51:59.000I shouldn't say hyperinflation, being a little hyperbolic, but you get my point.
00:52:02.000It's either that, you know, giving everyone $2,000 checks and big corporate bailouts.
00:52:05.000That's also another big issue, another big problem that, of course, I think a lot of people need to deal with as well.
00:52:14.000Now some people say there's too much lawfare.
00:52:17.000I would kind of agree with them, but right now it is very heavily one-sided.
00:52:21.000It is essentially district attorneys financed by George Soros.
00:52:24.000It is essentially a lot of the leftist organizations and groups that are kind of organizing themselves and suing and attacking everyone.
00:52:31.000Alex Jones was sued for a billion dollars.
00:52:33.000Elon Musk is being sued by those same individuals right now.
00:52:37.000So we are sadly living in a day and age where lawyers are becoming more important, but also more powerful and more rich than they ever were before, since this is how we are seeing this kind of asymmetrical warfare being waged politically in a very dangerous gambit that is not good for America.
00:53:03.000You make one mistake, you're going to get sued into oblivion.
00:53:07.000And this is why the appeals case for what's happening to Alex Jones is so important, as of course, they found him guilty, and he owes a billion plus dollars for speech, which is absolutely crazy.
00:53:20.000Well, he was found liable, but the important distinction here is that there was no trial.
00:54:28.000Oh, you didn't turn over all the emails, or you did this, and therefore you tried to lie about this.
00:54:32.000And he was like, no, that's not what happened.
00:54:34.000But they can keep pushing you, and they can keep pushing you, and they can keep it in the court system, and they can keep making it not only a matter of The court but also the court of public opinion too like they can keep you under their thumb that way and they'll just keep telling you you're lying you're lying you're lying and then they make you into a monster publicly and in the court as to who you really are and that's kind of what happened with Alex Jones it happens with a lot of people but I think you're totally right this litigious society we live in is so dangerous because it's like at what point do we stop because if
00:55:06.000The enemy's going to be doing that, right?
00:55:07.000If they're going to be throwing lawsuits at everybody left and right, then our only way to defend ourselves is to throw lawsuits at them in response, which is what you're seeing, for example, in Missouri.
00:55:16.000I bet artificial intelligence will take that task on.
00:55:19.000They'll start using artificial intelligence to counter-sue and sue and counter-sue, and it'll just, you'll see, it'll upskill by magnitudes more.
00:55:43.000Lynette Lopez writing that Elon was on a heater.
00:55:47.000From 2019 to 2022, it seemed if every single gamble he took was paying off, then he did what every risk-addicted blackjack player inevitably does.
00:56:57.000You know, what I think is happening is they're trying to scare their people out of doing what Elon Musk has done, particularly wealthier people.
00:57:03.000But I think Americans in general, it's sort of they're using him as an example of, you know, this is what happens when you speak out, when you do something to go against, when you're a dissenter, when you go against what the state says is acceptable.
00:57:16.000They want you to think that he's a massive failure.
00:57:18.000They want you to think that if you were to even go, you know, even try to do what he's done or go even remotely close to that, That the same thing is going to happen to you.
00:57:26.000That everybody who does something that gets involved in politics and takes an opposing position to the state will fail.
00:57:35.000Because every time somebody ventures out and tries to do something and they're successful at it when it comes to creating either a parallel economy, being a part of that, or doing what Elon Musk is doing, which is actually quite unprecedented, honestly, so it's hard to compare it to anything else.
00:57:51.000But I think, more than anything, they just want you to believe that you will fail if you speak out, if you do something against the state.
00:57:56.000That's why these articles are coming out.
00:57:59.000They'll take your money, they'll defame you, they'll destroy you, they'll take everything that they love from you, but will they be able to stop you?
00:58:54.000He could lose all of Twitter and it's $44 billion value, not to mention he didn't pay for the whole thing because he got loans, and he'd still be worth, let's say he ate the whole cost of Twitter and it collapsed, he's worth $200 billion.
01:00:09.000And then they failed and he's, you know, fighting back and now they're starting to realize, oh, Elon's not on our side.
01:00:15.000I think that they're really, they've lost their guy.
01:00:18.000They lost, because I think they, The government likes to control the wealthiest people in the country and when they lose them, when they start to lose them, that's a threat to them because they have more power and that's what's going on here and we kind of saw it with, and this isn't really as big of a deal because they're not quite as wealthy as Elon, but what happened with the company that made Sound of Freedom,
01:00:37.000They came after them, the whole, I think it was Rolling Stone, that a few other articles came after that too, but they attacked him calling them QAnon and conspiracy theorists and it's like, they, this is, it's the same thing as this, they want to make you believe you can't be successful if you provide a perspective outside of what the accepted narrative, but yeah, I think he's a particular threat because he's so wealthy and they thought that they could control him.
01:01:03.000I think they did think they could regain control of him.
01:01:05.000So this is what happens with, we put out a bunch of songs, and a lot of things have happened.
01:01:12.000The first thing is Pete Parata, formerly of The Offspring, we make contact with them, we work together, we make a song, and when our publicist Reached out to various entertainment publications to say, former drummer from The Offspring working with Tim Pool.
01:01:26.000The responses we got back were, go F yourself and things like that.
01:01:30.000Unbecoming of entertainment reporters.
01:01:33.000By all means, they could have been like, we don't like this, you know, you know, we're not fans of you politically, but there's news there in what we're doing.
01:01:41.000Instead, the response was, not only are we going to ignore this to make sure no one knows you're doing it because we don't want to give you any press, because they view press as a weapon, they actually emailed us back.
01:01:51.000We got emails back from a variety of different entertainment outlets saying, F yourselves.
01:01:58.000When we reached out to... I want to keep it relatively vague for legal reasons, litigious reasons.
01:02:05.000When we reached out to various music industry groups like, here's the standard process by which we publish music, they outright just, whoopsie, screwed the songs up, screwed up tracking, rejected it, and we were just like, wow, man.
01:02:19.000And so the original idea we had was to make a song mocking the whole industry.
01:02:23.000And then when I saw what Jeremy Boring and Michael Knowles did with Together Again, The story that Jeremy told was, they offered a substantial, like 100 times the market rate to play a song.
01:03:08.000It's not just about Elon buying X. It's also important to understand these institutions will spit in your face publicly, will lie about you outside of the media.
01:03:18.000So this is why we're doing TheBestSongEver.com.
01:03:46.000There are thin threads of infrastructure in all of these different networks where people will give you the middle finger and try and shut you down.
01:03:55.000I think that's why music is so powerful and that writing really good music over and over and over and just putting out consistently really good songs is not really unstoppable, but pretty close to unstoppable.
01:04:08.000With the radio and shortwave radio, it doesn't require a lot of bandwidth to get a song across to somebody.
01:04:14.000You don't really need centralized networks.
01:04:30.000And if the messages are in the song and people don't even realize, that's another way to manipulate the masses into doing good.
01:04:36.000We are building probably the largest private East Coast skate facility for a show and we're spending several million dollars.
01:04:46.000We're bringing out pro skateboarders and big industry individuals and we're filming videos and we're doing it because, you know, like, I think everybody who plays video games, everybody who likes sci-fi movies, has seen wokeness infect their culture.
01:05:02.000And with comic books and video games, it became very apparent ten years ago with, like, Gamergate.
01:05:06.000And for me, it's like, I play video games sometimes, you know what I mean?
01:05:09.000I don't really pay attention all that much.
01:05:10.000So I was like, wow, this is kind of crazy.
01:05:13.000Then it came into skateboarding and it's bad.
01:05:16.000And now I'm like, substantially more irritated and aggressive because it's attacking something that I participate in and care about really, really badly.
01:05:26.000I mean, the woke stuff in skateboarding is just absolutely getting crazy.
01:05:45.000But now there are people who are getting major sponsorship deals for identity politics.
01:05:49.000And I'm like, we're gonna shut it down.
01:05:52.000And at least in terms of what I know, music, skateboarding, etc, we are going to invest heavily in pushing back on all these cultural areas.
01:06:09.000It's almost as if everything is being weaponized.
01:06:12.000Lawfare is being weaponized, entertainment is being weaponized, movies are being weaponized, and the hearts and minds of individuals, especially during a war, are key to win over.
01:06:24.000And I think this is the kind of groundwork we are seeing for What could be potentially a bigger conflict out there?
01:06:30.000They are trying to win the hearts and minds of individuals they're losing.
01:06:35.000The Disney turnaround with Snow White.
01:06:38.000The Disney individuals who, of course, are pissed off at the company, which Elon Musk spoke out against, specifically giving a big kind of F you to the company, And many people unsubscribing from that particular platform also highlights a big kind of shift in people's energy and reaction towards this, as of course everything woke now is being met with distaste and disdain, and I think it's great.
01:07:02.000A lot of the people said that Vietnam was ended because of the musicians of the time, like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
01:07:08.000There was a riot at Kent State, 1970, May 4th, where all the students were out yelling, end the war, end the war, and they were throwing rocks at the National Guard, and the National Guard opened fire and killed four kids, four adults at that point.
01:07:18.000And then Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young wrote a song called Ohio about that.
01:07:46.000Okay, it's basically just an ad for Bud Light, where Dana White says, I'll just grab a random point at this, let's just see what happens.
01:07:53.000Support their people like Mexicans support their people, and you should be able to walk in with your country's flag, so I brought it back.
01:08:01.000Were you under pressure not to allow it?
01:08:03.000No, there's always, you know, when you deal with... I consider myself a proud American, I'm happy to be an American, I love this country, and you are way more aligned With Anheuser-Busch than you are with other beer companies.
01:08:27.000And the people who are close to me know.
01:08:30.000And, uh, I'm on the right side of this.
01:08:32.000Basically, the first few minutes of this nine-minute clip is Dana White saying everyone should go out and buy cases and cases of Bud Light because they're more aligned with you than you know.
01:10:15.000Individuals like Conor McGregor, who are also becoming more and more outspoken politically, and might even run to be president of the United States.
01:10:24.000And so now when Brian Krasinstein says, come on everybody, stop boycotting, I say, hear, hear.
01:10:29.000When the Liberals don't boycott Bud Light, but the Conservatives do, it creates an inverse pressure.
01:10:36.000The pressure used to be that Conservatives won't boycott, but Liberals will, so give the Liberals what they want, because Conservatives will just roll with the punches.
01:10:43.000But now that Conservatives are boycotting, and the Liberals saying, roll with the punches, it's going to create the inverse pressure system, where now companies are going to push in the opposite direction and cancel the woke.
01:10:53.000Does it have like a $100 million contract?
01:11:28.000Taking from somebody who's in the know, who does business with beer companies, you are way more aligned with Bud Light than you are with any other beer company.
01:11:36.000So I'm assuming, I mean, they didn't come into partnership with you by accident.
01:12:13.000Listen, people are going to say what they're going to say.
01:12:15.000I don't ever... I don't care what people... I don't think that they're an American company.
01:12:19.000Well, he's talking about patriotism there, and then he talks about... He wants you to associate it with being American.
01:12:23.000You can definitely get that vibe, even if he doesn't say, like, oh, it's an American company.
01:12:27.000He uses the word patriot and proud American, and then he sells you on a Belgian company that has no free speech.
01:12:31.000What we want is a circumstance in which Bud Light loses money when they go woke, and they make money when they go anti-woke.
01:12:40.000So that every single other company will go, hey guys, if we sponsor woke people, we're gonna lose money, but if we sponsor anti-woke people, we'll make money.
01:12:47.000If everybody still boycotts Bud Light, then it's a win either way.
01:12:53.000Because then companies are going to say, look, don't go woke because you'll lose money, but going conserved doesn't help you either, just don't go woke.
01:12:58.000Wouldn't you consider what he just did woke?
01:13:00.000Like he just said, I'm a patriot, I'm an American, so buy a Belgian beer.
01:13:32.000But I'm split on the idea behind it, what Tim's saying, because it's like, on one hand, it's yeah, it's kind of a Pavlov's dog situation where it's like, we want to train these companies to You can't put them out of business.
01:13:43.000Anheuser-Busch could subsidize Bud Light at infinitum.
01:13:44.000So the best opportunity is to give them the incentive.
01:13:46.000maybe it takes actually putting these companies out of business to send a
01:13:50.000clear message. Maybe that was the end. Maybe that should be the end goal rather
01:13:53.000than just to make them suffer a little bit. I don't know. I'm not saying that
01:13:57.000like, you know, I see both sides. You can't put them out of business. Well,
01:14:02.000Anheuser-Busch could subsidize Bud Light at infinitum. So the best
01:14:06.000opportunity is to give them the incentive. Use the carrot, not the
01:14:09.000stick. So then it goes, then the question then becomes like to what end would you
01:14:17.000That would have to be the decided answer, and then I think, you know, you're...
01:14:21.000Economic damage, which was 30% in sales, and then they gave $100 million to UFC, and at first we all said, oh groan, we don't like Bud Light, they got woke, they go broke, a lot of people wanted to go to business, and then Sean Strickland came out and said a whole bunch of things on Twitter, laughing, saying Bud Light sponsored, thank you, this message brought to you by Bud Light.
01:14:41.000We all laughed and said, we went from Dylan Mulvaney, and in six months, Sean Strickland.
01:14:46.000We like what Sean Strickland says, so we want Bud Light to fund more of what Sean Strickland says, and then we want every other company to see, hey guys, if we go with the UFC dudes, we're gonna make a lot of money.
01:14:57.000I'm not going to be happy until there's a can of Sean Strickland with a durag
01:15:01.000presented to the American people. If they do that, then maybe I could give them a
01:15:06.000chance. Personally, I don't like alcohol. I don't like booze.
01:15:08.000It calcifies your pineal gland. It gives you Bill Gates moobs. That's beyond
01:15:55.000And what he's doing is fantastic, so, you know, you can check out his work as well.
01:15:58.000But my point is just simply, it's not about destroying, it's like, look, do you want to raise the enemy village or take control of it to utilize its labor forces and resources?
01:16:14.000And in this situation, you have, you basically have a village of people who are all growing crops, bowing down to you saying, please, please, please, we'll give you our wheat, just please stop.
01:16:25.000And instead it's like you've got people saying, no, no, just keep destroying everything.
01:16:33.000I want to take all of their money and put it towards Sean Strickland and other based UFC fighters so they can go on Twitter and say anti-woke things.
01:16:41.000Destroying it doesn't serve a purpose.
01:16:43.000Well, if you're talking about, see in the metaphor, you've got the people, and then you have the resources, and the people are traitors, and they say, please, please, please, let us join you, but they're treacherous, then you might want to remove the humans from that situation to take the resources for yourself.
01:16:57.000There are other times that you would actually let them serve you.
01:16:59.000The resources is the human capital and labor.
01:17:02.000Then you would put them in slavery or something like that.
01:17:04.000This is just military talk, of course, that you would enslave the population and make them work for you if you didn't trust them.
01:17:08.000Not really, you just take taxes from them.
01:17:09.000Yeah, it depends on how treacherous they are.
01:17:11.000In military, you conquer a city and you use its resources towards your military goals.
01:17:15.000In this instance, we're talking about culture war. We can see Bud Light destroyed, or all of
01:17:20.000that money they have can go towards anti-woke initiatives, and then we're actually being
01:17:25.000armed culturally against the wokeness.
01:17:27.000If I see a point- I have another nuanced point on this that might be diverting
01:17:31.000it a little bit, because I brought up Bill Gates' moves here, and I just
01:17:35.000remembered Bill Gates bought a whole bunch of stocks for Anheuser-Busch, and therefore, Tim, I
01:18:52.000The goal should be to reclaim and control all of the cultural institutions so that we can then indoctrinate young people to American values.
01:18:59.000Some of the institutions need to fail, I think.
01:20:14.000Except if the factory, if you're like, now that's our factory, but who is in that factory, running that factory, and who are their financial ties behind the scenes that I don't know.
01:20:21.000So if I really want to leave that factory up and running, what's the risk?
01:20:24.000I mean, the UFC is one of the most popular sports industries in the entire world.
01:20:54.000If you think that we should be taking over the bridge, press 1 in the comment section.
01:20:59.000If you think we should be, of course, punishing the woke bridge that tried to sell alcohol to children, press number 2 in the comment section.
01:21:06.000If you have a government that rules with an iron fist, eventually you will get revolt and collapse.
01:21:13.000But if you rule through incentives and goals, you will have people enthusiastically supporting you.
01:21:20.000If the anti-woke forces in the culture war send the message to big companies, no matter what you do, there is no coming back and we will destroy you, you know what their response is going to be?
01:21:31.000Okay, well then we'll go woke because they'll at least give us money.
01:21:34.000I think it's exhausting to do a boycott and it took the Bud Light, that Bud Light boycott was like a four month thing, three month thing to really, and it, to change, get people into the mindset of I'm done with that crap Bud Light.
01:21:54.000I think it boycotting this company's the right move It's just a multinational billion-dollar alcohol like we'll say this 30% sales are written off completely Stay the course and keep putting out pride ads, right?
01:22:07.000They need a place to go You can't just tell the world you're doing it wrong You have a wrong way to go and then not give them a chance to say hey, here's a better way Here's the way we the way forward you can't just tell them You know, that's what they're saying to us by cancelling us.
01:22:17.000Dude, they spent $100 million trying to save themselves.
01:22:21.000That's like next to nothing though compared to what they're worth.
01:23:03.000This is why the right has lost for so long.
01:23:05.000Because the left marched through the institutions, and they said, now we have the New York Times.
01:23:10.000Now we will use this to crush free speech.
01:23:12.000And the right goes, let's just tear it all down.
01:23:14.000I tell you, if Elon Musk buys AB InBev, I'm on board.
01:23:17.000Sorry, Anna, were you gonna say something?
01:23:18.000No, I was just going to say that I kind of agree with you.
01:23:20.000I think that there needs to be some example of what happens.
01:23:24.000I'm not saying that needs to be the approach every single time a company goes woke, but I think we need a couple examples of like, hey, you will go out of business if this is the case, or you will suffer to a point where this particular product is not even something people want to buy in this country anymore.
01:23:40.000I think, yeah, we sent them sort of a message, but I don't really think it was I think that it needs to go further.
01:23:48.000I do think that as far as we need to use your resources, we don't really.
01:23:52.000We could just fund other beer companies.
01:24:51.000I mean, then you'll get more Pride events.
01:24:53.000Or the inverse of it, because they could say, oh, you know, Bud Light could get away with this, they could advertise to small children, they could advertise Dylan Mulvaney, but if they just, you know, give a little bit money to the UFC, they're going to be cleared of all wrongdoing, and therefore, you know, why not get away with this even more?
01:25:09.000Don't do it again, we'll lose the money.
01:25:10.000The business guys are right now looking at their bottom line, and they're saying, we lost 30%.
01:26:54.000It's a Belgian company that wants the United States to fail, man.
01:26:57.000It's just part of this international banking I'm listening to people who play chess being like, don't control the center of the board, it's pointless.
01:27:02.000They wouldn't let us control it, so why should we?
01:27:12.000Like, imagine a great general being like, don't take the field because they wouldn't let us take it either way, so we should run the other direction.
01:27:19.000Let the world take all the institutions, let them take the universities, let them take the television networks, and then cross your fingers that ultra-right conservatives beer can rival the multi-billion dollar beer brand, and cross your fingers that Jeremy's Razors and Jeremy's Chocolates is going to beat Hershey's.
01:27:37.000I just think if you have the option of occupying a major factor with billions of dollars and utilizing all of its resources to your end, you need to push that in your direction.
01:27:53.000The universities, with how much injustice they caused, with how much servitude and debt they caused the American people, with how much just woke nonsense and poison that they have put into America, let them fail.
01:28:15.000Like they said, they're planning an October war.
01:28:18.000It's no time to joke around right now.
01:28:20.000The companies that are wrecking the American way of life need to fail, I feel.
01:28:24.000But I think your point about it being not even American-owned, that's an important point.
01:28:28.000I don't think it makes it woke, but I do think it begs the question, why are they advertising it as they want us to associate it with American patriotism?
01:28:35.000I think that is an important part of it.
01:30:01.000Because for a beer company shipping liquids, I imagine their margins are going to be relatively small, but they're still probably making billions.
01:30:07.000But it's a question of, like, how much money are they generating?
01:30:28.000But if it's like 10,000 times more for you, but it's one 500th less for them, you gotta do that opportunity cost.
01:30:34.000And if it costs them next to nothing to give you a 5,000% boost, you gotta see, is it really costing them anything at all to make me think I'm gaining something?
01:31:07.000I think this is just some guy being paid to say something that isn't even true, like the fact that it's such a patriotic beer.
01:31:13.000And then in addition to that, I think that if they're not going to meet that expectation, which they won't, then yeah, I think we let them fail.
01:31:20.000We let them fail on this particular product.
01:32:08.000You would have to just continue doing, I mean, it would be exhausting to go after
01:32:14.000one multinational company and try and bankrupt it.
01:32:16.000Are you saying that, like, after a year of minus 30% sales, a stable... a stabilized sales base, they will eventually just say, you know, we're going to sell the product?
01:32:25.000Well, we don't really owe them anything.
01:32:27.000So, like, if we just don't want to buy it because they don't represent what we believe in, then we just will continue to not buy it, you know?
01:32:32.000Even if it doesn't put them out of business, per se.
01:32:34.000So then the issue is, when condition is irrelevant, you just don't want to buy Bud Light.
01:32:39.000I was really pissed off when they gave Dylan Mulvaney a commercial to sell beer to his audience, which was like 17-year-olds and stuff.
01:32:48.000And that's like a beer company selling to that guy, having him sell to his audience.
01:32:51.000That was really gross to me, like a total mismanagement.
01:32:53.000Like, are they trying to poison our populace?
01:32:55.000I know that people are sending fentanyl up across the southern border.
01:32:58.000Like, what are they doing with Dylan Mulvaney and alcohol?
01:33:02.000Well, just alcohol in general is a very net negative for your brain, for your health, but that's not talking about the conversation.
01:33:08.000Tim brings up some good points that are worth considering.
01:33:11.000For me, again, I'm just going to reiterate, maybe it's not the strategic, maybe it's not the smartest move, but I do think culturally a lot of what the corporations do matters.
01:33:22.000If they're trying to appease the ESG social credit scorer, Klaus Schwab, Rothschild, Pope Connected, revisionist of capitalist individuals, if they're trying to do that, they deserve to fail in my opinion.
01:34:33.000I think that it's... And I don't like the way... And I never picked up on this before, you pointed it out, but the way he wants us to associate...
01:34:41.000Supporting Bud Light with patriotism, like that's just slimy, especially when it's not owned by an American company.
01:34:58.000We have to call out any UFC personality supported this and refuse to watch or purchase any or tickets to their fights and demand that Shawn and any other UFC fighter Refuse to participate in UFC until they cancel their sponsorship with Bud Light.
01:35:13.000Wait, I do wonder though, and I don't know, maybe it's true, but did UFC specifically make a deal with them or was it just the fighters?
01:35:20.000And then Strickland came out saying that he was going to save Bud Light because he said a whole bunch of anti-woke stuff on Twitter and said, brought you by Bud Light.
01:36:51.000But if that is unacceptable, and I'm wrong, then we cannot just accept that UFC took a hundred million dollars from a corporation that has no intention of actually standing up for our values.
01:37:01.000And we cannot allow... That would mean Dana White's a traitor.
01:37:05.000A sellout, and that means all of these UFC fighters are willing to fight in the ring with the Bud Light logo, don't care about our values either.
01:37:12.000You know, I'm not too worried about international business.
01:37:22.000But I don't necessarily want to go after every multinational corporation just because they're multinational corporations and they get into ESG.
01:37:33.000Like you said, there's always so much mind focus that one can do, and to do a constant boycott of every company that touches every company I don't like, I don't like doing that kind of thing.
01:37:44.000Well, I don't see the logic in saying Bud Light can never recover, but we're absolutely on board with companies colluding with these unrecoverable companies.
01:37:54.000Like, when UFC first announced this major deal with Bud Light, the immediate reaction was, boycott UFC.

01:38:35.000Howdy, with a little waving emoji and a cowboy man.
01:38:38.000Alright, Andrew D843 says, Congress said they didn't have $9.7 billion over 10 years to fund the major Richard Starr Act, but can send $75 billion plus to Ukraine this year.
01:38:50.000Over 50,000 troops who got injured in combat and medically retired don't get retirement to this day.
01:39:39.000He said, imagine going to 2020 and claiming that the presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT were facing removal for anti-Semitism, and that Alex Jones had been brought back to Twitter, which is now called Axe.
01:41:43.000Waffle Sensei says, funny how they told us to build our own platforms to share our opinions, now they team up with the government to try and destroy those platforms.
01:41:51.000Sounds like they did that with Parler.
01:41:53.000I'm willing to bet the government was involved in getting Parler taken down.
01:41:59.000Buster Ruckus says, are we not going to talk about the black woman who tried to burn down MLK's house?
01:42:05.000We all know who the media would blame if she hadn't been caught.
01:42:08.000That's a crazy story, I don't know enough about it though, but yeah, there was like some black woman was caught trying to burn down Martin Luther King Jr.' 's house.
01:43:17.000Yeah, but I did hear a little bit of it.
01:43:18.000It wasn't funny in any way, and the weirdest thing is they attacked Elise Stefanik, and they added things that were not part of the hearing.
01:43:28.000It was clear they were not engaged in making jokes.
01:43:31.000Elise Stefanik said, Is it a violation of your rules to call for the genocide of Jews?
01:43:36.000In the SNL version, she goes, Antisemitism is up your a**!
01:43:41.000And then the woman, then the president of one of the organizations goes like, we try to limit hate speech against all students, including Jewish students, Muslim students.
01:43:49.000And then Elisa Fonik goes, nope, nope, nope, not that one, not that one.
01:43:53.000And I'm like, I don't understand what the joke is, because Elisa Fonik in no way insulted Muslims.
01:43:59.000They're just trying to... This is what they did when Tina Fey made fun of Sarah Palin and said, I can see Russia from my house!
01:44:07.000And then liberals all believed Sarah Palin actually said that.
01:44:11.000Sarah Palin actually said, when it comes to negotiating with Russia, we actually do negotiate every year because of the Bering Strait, because we have ships moving through territorial waters.
01:44:20.000And interestingly, in the westernmost point of Alaska, you can actually see with the naked eye Russia.
01:44:24.000So as these ships are coming through, like a very articulate and composed statement about international relations, in order to discredit her as a politician, Tina Fey says something dumb, and then people think Sarah Palin actually said something dumb.
01:45:08.000Yeah, they try to destroy independent media and they were ruthless with it.
01:45:12.000The smaller creators I think had a bigger impact than some of the bigger guys that got hit because that really changed the people who would be bigger players now that are that are not.
01:45:25.000Twitter censorship going back several years.
01:45:28.000They'd make arguments like, we didn't ban conservatives, and that was a mistake, and they were restored.
01:45:33.000Ah, but what was happening was, they rolled out an algorithm on Twitter, back in the day, where it was banning anybody who said hashtag learn to code, unless you were on a whitelist.
01:45:42.000That's why when I tweeted hashtag learn to code, nothing bad happened.
01:45:45.000But that's why when the editor-in-chief of, I think it was the Daily Caller, tweeted it, he got banned.
01:45:51.000And they went, whoops, that was an accident, sorry about that, that wasn't supposed to happen.
01:45:56.000The only issue, all the small accounts who tweeted it got banned, and they had no advocates, and no PR, and were unable to actually get their accounts restored.
01:46:04.000So they were getting rid of all of the grassroots sentiment opposed to the media industry, That's how they did it.
01:46:24.000You know, this is one of the bigger challenges with any show.
01:46:27.000Good Sir Purple, if you watched every episode of Timcast IRL, you'd know exactly what SCNR was.
01:46:33.000But the issue is, I think on average a person will watch between 2.5 to 6 I say that it's wide range because different platforms have different metrics.
01:46:43.000On audio versions, it's like two and a half podcasts per person.
01:46:47.000And then a little bit more, maybe it's like three.
01:46:49.000And then on YouTube, it's like seven or eight.
01:46:53.000So if you skip an episode, you're going to be like, what's this?
01:46:57.000Well, you know, to be continued, you got to go back and watch all the old episodes, which, you know, is not reasonable.
01:47:05.000There was this woman who wrote this fake academic study where she, it was called the Alternative Influencer Network or something, where she claimed that a bunch of like anti-establishment YouTubers were all secretly connected.
01:47:17.000And she connected Chris Ragon, who does like video game content, to Richard Spencer.
01:47:21.000These two guys who have never met before.
01:47:26.000And then I guess because of that, she did a research paper on me specifically, where she said she watched all of my content, and I gotta be honest, I was flattered.
01:47:37.000And I was like, yo, that's like six, at the time it was four hours of content, Monday through Friday, and two hours, Saturday and Sunday, because this was back in, what is this, 2020, when I was doing Weekends.
01:49:58.000If the message is, enter politics in any fashion and you lose, it's still a win, you know, because companies will just be like, I don't want to get political.
01:50:06.000But we win faster if companies were like, A, sponsor more anti-woke channels.
01:50:11.000It's tough with these big public companies because Vanguard and BlackRock and Statesphere are so heavily across the board, but private companies can twist and turn a lot easier.
01:50:20.000So sometimes it's better for one big woke company to fail and a new one to start up than it is to try and change that big behemoth of an organization.
01:50:30.000Andrew says, hey Tim and cast, the Obamas produced a film called Leave the World Behind, which showcases the breakdown of society during a cyber attack.
01:50:47.000Context is important, because I doubt it, but for all we know, she's not a good guy in the film.
01:50:53.000You know, she's saying things like, I'm racist, blah blah blah, and then they're like, showing her saying that, but I'm assuming the assumption is she's just, you know, like... Being woke.
01:51:16.000Oh, corporations are states now, as well as people?
01:51:18.000That's an Ian argument. What do we got here?
01:51:26.000Michael Jackson, the Michael Jackson says, Do y'all really think Dana doesn't have a cancel clause?
01:51:32.000Then Dana is hardcore against Bud Light.
01:51:34.000It's a possible lose-lose for Bud Light.
01:51:37.000So then, if the point is Bud Light can never recover, we have to force UFC into canceling their Bud Light contract.
01:51:47.000The biggest victor over Bud Light would be, if you want it to be a nuclear bomb in terms of Bud Light sales, having UFC break their contract and kick them out would be the most devastating defeat Bud Light could face.
01:52:00.000That would be awesome, and you should have Dana White on The Culture War.
01:52:03.000That would be awesome, to defend why he did that.
01:52:11.000Yeah, he's got a hundred million reasons.
01:52:16.000But if that's not enough, that you have to boycott UFC.
01:52:21.000The only problem is, I don't think you can boycott UFC.
01:52:24.000I don't think the fans will boycott UFC.
01:52:27.000And UFC did not do anything as egregious as Bud Light.
01:52:31.000They've simply aligned themselves with Bud Light.
01:52:34.000So you can accept Sean Strickland going anti-woke and taking Bud Light money, and taking, claiming, sticking his flag in the Bud Light factory, or you can say, no, we reject this, you're collaborating with the enemy, and tell Sean Strickland, no, we don't accept what you're saying, Dana White, you've sold out, UFC, be gone.
01:52:50.000Yeah, I mean, I think that it's mostly in theory, the argument.
01:52:52.000I don't think people would actually boycott UFC.
01:52:55.000I think it's what would need to happen to make the point, but I don't think you would be on enough of a grand scale.
01:53:02.000People just like, especially conservatives, they like UFC too much.
01:53:06.000I think Luke's silently breathing a sigh of relief as you said that.
01:55:23.000No, my attitude was, Sean Strickland is wrong and Dana White sold out, and then Sean Strickland made a bunch of statements on Twitter under the banner of Bud Light, and Bud Light said nothing.
01:58:07.000By May of next year, Bud Light's going to show that their sales have recovered, and they're going to say sales have gone from... So what's going to start happening is, Once they get to the beginning of May, they're going to say, sales are now down 20%, sales are now down 15, sales are now down 7, sales are now down 9, and the media is going to report en masse, Bud Light sees massive recovery.
01:58:28.000And what may end up happening at that time, is that right before that happens, Bud Light will do something sort of woke.
01:58:35.000And then when the sales start recovering, because they're not really recovering, it's just that year-over-year sales are stable, that means the percentages will go to zero.
01:58:46.000They'll claim, our sales recovered from 30% losses by doing this campaign, and they can make that campaign whatever they want it to be.
01:58:56.000So either you guys defeat Bud Light 100% and they lose completely before May of next year, or You force UFC fighters to say a whole bunch of shockingly anti-woke things, and you force Bud Light to answer for it.
02:00:35.000If it went, okay, so it's down 30%, that would mean if you can knock it down another 15%, I think that would indicate a collapse of the company.
02:00:46.000If you could knock it down to like 55%.
02:00:48.000There needs to be another sales drop-off before May.
02:00:53.000Yeah, and it'd have to impact people that already didn't.
