A new poll shows that about half of the country thinks that in their lifetime in the U.S. there will be a civil war, and that more than half of Democrats and Republicans believe that America will cease to exist as a democracy.
00:01:25.000But there's a reason we're doing this.
00:01:26.000Because today we're being joined by Dennis Prager.
00:01:29.000And we didn't want to just do the typical, like, here's the news, let's talk.
00:01:32.000We want to have a deeper conversation of the conflict happening in this country, what is currently going on around it, and we'll talk about a variety of issues as to why it's happening, potential solutions, and just have a deeper conversation than just jumping from story to story.
00:01:45.000So, without further ado, joining us is Dennis Prager.
00:01:50.000One of the reasons, aside obviously from being with you, I just want to note that my son is a huge fan of yours and for a good part of a year said, Dad, you've got to go on Tim Poole.
00:02:31.000This is absolutely insane because this strikes the heart of what the actual goal of the establishment in the left is when it comes to abortion.
00:02:38.000It's certainly not helping underprivileged women have children.
00:02:41.000So we'll get into all this stuff as part of the larger conversation.
00:02:53.000Today, I have a visual representation of what's happening to the American people.
00:02:57.000It's a shirt that says that you will own nothing and be happy, and it has a representation of Klaus Schwab committing armed robbery against you.
00:03:06.000If you like the t-shirt, you can get it on thebestpoliticalshirts.com, and because you do, I'm here.
00:04:00.000I went to communist countries almost every year.
00:04:03.000And lo and behold, the threat is very real in our country.
00:04:10.000I must admit, although I have a very somber view of mankind, I really did believe that this was the land of the free and the home of the brave.
00:04:46.000It's gonna be a great crossover episode.
00:04:48.000Dennis has so much to say, and I'm thrilled to hear it all.
00:04:51.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our work.
00:04:57.000At TimCast.com, you'll get exclusive members-only segments from this show.
00:05:00.000We put those up Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m., so we're gonna have one of those up tonight.
00:05:04.000We also have a whole bunch of journalists, and as a member, you're helping support their work.
00:05:09.000And you'll also be supporting our infrastructure.
00:05:11.000As you know, we use Rumble infrastructure for the backend and for our video player so that we can be more resilient against censorship and actively defy Silicon Valley and the big tech censors.
00:05:21.000I know we're still on YouTube, but don't worry.
00:05:23.000We are working on it actively behind the scenes.
00:05:25.000There's only so much we can do, but we do have some announcements coming soon, and it's going to be a whole lot of fun.
00:05:39.000Something interesting to kick off this greater conversation.
00:05:42.000The Daily Mail reports more than half of Democrats and Republicans believe America will cease to exist as a democracy, according to a new poll.
00:05:51.000They also go on to say, The poll found the majority of Republicans, 52%, say that it's likely there will be a civil war in the U.S.
00:05:58.000in their lifetime, while half of independents, 50%, and a plurality of Democrats, 46%, agree.
00:06:05.000The poll surveyed 1,541 adults and was conducted from June 10th, the day of the January 6th hearing, until June 13th.
00:06:17.000It also found Americans have largely given up on one another.
00:06:21.000So before the show, you know, we normally what we would do is we pull up like the biggest, most relevant story and issues around it, and we decided we'd do something inverted.
00:06:31.000And we would talk with Dennis Prager about what's going on, why people are experiencing this first from your point of view, and then have that actually lead into the news stories as opposed to the way around.
00:06:41.000This is not the first poll we've seen where people think civil war is coming.
00:06:44.000We also had a poll that came out, or I should say a survey, that came out from the SPLC, whether you trust them or not.
00:06:50.000But it showed that the younger generation is more likely to support political assassination and revolution.
00:06:56.000My view is once the older generation ages out, as it were, either leaves the political fight altogether or passes on, The next generations are going to be increasingly more prone to violence, which ultimately will lead to civil war or violence.
00:07:12.000I'm curious as to your thoughts, why you think people feel this way, or what do you think is happening that's causing it?
00:07:22.000And I don't know how this registers with you, because I remember when I was a kid and I would hear older people say, you know, when I was a kid, and I don't remember how I reacted.
00:07:34.000Either I reacted, oh, I'm very curious to know what it was like when you were a kid, or, gee, I've heard that before.
00:09:13.000There's an all-black dorm at Columbia where I went.
00:09:16.000There's an all-black graduation at Columbia where I went.
00:09:20.000There are only two groups who support all-black dorms.
00:09:24.000Uh leftists and the ku klux klan just for the record.
00:09:27.000It's really important that people understand liberals don't support it and conservatives don't support it so, uh, The the ascendance of the left is the descent of of all these freedoms and that that is the root of it if they allowed us to be heard We would not be confronting the possibility of civil war.
00:09:48.000We would change so many minds, but they make it almost impossible for us to be heard.
00:10:10.000Their goal, as it was explained to me, is minimize the right just enough not to cause a splash, but to make them ineffective in politics.
00:10:18.000So you censor enough people so that the conversation will be 60% left and 40% right, and then what happens is you give it time, and over time the right loses the argument because they've got no foot in the battlefield.
00:10:32.000And I'll give you another interesting thing that people don't reflect on.
00:12:16.000The launching of Joe Biden's campaign, not true.
00:12:19.000And so when they come out and they say, we're the good guys, trust us, don't listen to them.
00:12:23.000And we come out and we say, please listen to everything they have to say and then have a conversation with us.
00:12:28.000The people who are interested in saying, I want to know for myself, they'll come and take a look and watch the video and say, oh, OK, Dennis is clearly right on those issues.
00:12:36.000The people who don't want to do that say, look, man, I just want to fit in.
00:12:39.000I'm going to do whatever they tell me.
00:12:40.000I think what we're seeing now is largely the separation is I described this four years ago.
00:12:46.000I called it the uninitiated and the politically discerning people who will look at a story and say, is that true?
00:13:23.000Stephen Colbert, he said that line, I'm sure you're familiar with, reality is a liberal bias, you know, 20 or so years ago.
00:13:28.000But now the issue is, if someone comes out and says, oh, did you know that Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma and was receiving $83,000 a month and that Joe Biden intervened with the quid pro quo?
00:14:09.000Anyway, so about a few months before the lockdowns at Philadelphia airport, I recall well, a guy comes over to me and Thank God people come over to me at every airport except Boston.
00:14:21.000Interestingly, I don't have any fans in Boston.
00:14:25.000But anyway, guy comes over to me, and I'm a heterosexual guy, so it's not often that I think, well, this guy's really good looking.
00:16:20.000And I was like, the woman is about to give birth to a baby at nine months gestation, and the baby can be terminated, killed, ripped out, and he goes, woman's choice.
00:16:28.000And I'm like, okay, well, I come from a traditional liberal background, where we're like, you know, maybe after the fetus is viable, you just save it.
00:16:36.000And then I was like, but isn't it strange that I am a pro-choice liberal, and you're calling me right-wing, and you're arguing for abortion to the point of birth?
00:16:46.000How is that we're having this argument, and the actual conservative over here is keeping his mouth shut?
00:16:49.000It's just the whole, as you mentioned, with the left and liberal being different.
00:16:52.000Yeah, you've got to be careful with labels.
00:16:54.000Relying too much on labels and what they mean to you, because they might mean something different to someone else, but it's the facts and beliefs that are really important.
00:17:00.000Well, that's why it's important to define, as I did.
00:17:04.000As I said, I have an article with 32 distinctions.
00:17:07.000And the race one is one of the biggest.
00:17:13.000We do believe liberals I was raised i'm a jew from new york by definition a liberal and I was raised That race blind is the moral ideal You don't see a person's race.
00:17:30.000You see their brains you see everything and and so I Today, race is determinative, which is mind-boggling because I ask leftists one question.
00:17:44.000If you know a person is black, tell me one other thing you know about them and they can't name a thing.
00:17:52.000Do you know whether they're kind or despicable?
00:17:54.000Do you know whether they're honest or crooked?
00:17:56.000Do you know whether they are interesting or boring?
00:17:59.000Do you know whether they are liberal or conservative?
00:18:03.000You know nothing when you know someone's skin color.
00:18:07.000You can tell more about a person by their shoes than you can by their race.
00:18:27.000Which is even more remarkable how recent.
00:18:30.000So you were on with Bill Maher and you mentioned that there are tampons in the men's restrooms at universities and Bill, the panel and the audience... That's why I said men menstruate is a left-wing lie.
00:19:37.000But when I know I'm right, and you have a whole bunch of people laughing at you, it is so revealing as to how easily people are brainwashed that that's the reason that I liked it.
00:19:53.000That audience didn't hear it from the New York Times, so it didn't happen.
00:20:00.000They, as I say on my radio show almost every day, they don't know, that is the left, they don't know what we know.
00:20:07.000Well, so I pulled up the article, because we actually did a segment on it.
00:20:11.000This is an article from the Daily Beast, which is fake news by the way, NewsGuard says they're fake news, published September 21st, 2016, which is titled, Yes, Men Can Have Periods and We Need to Talk About Them.
00:20:21.000So, 2016, you go on Bill Maher's show, three Years later.
00:22:20.000I think it's an example of kind of the old media model of like, let's have an interview and dam be the consequences versus the new model of let's have access to the internet and look it up and fact check in real time.
00:22:30.000Like Rogan never would have had a hit show if he didn't have someone looking up the facts.
00:22:33.000He would have just been wrong a bunch and looked like an idiot.
00:22:35.000Well, I think the biggest thing is admitting that you're wrong.
00:22:38.000And I think that's the biggest difference between individuals online.
00:22:41.000And there are a lot of individuals, predominantly, who are promoted by big tech social media that never admit that they are wrong.
00:22:47.000Bill Maher, just a couple weeks ago, was talking about how the economy's doing great.
00:26:06.000I don't know if you, some people say left, some people say people who are indoctrinated and don't critically think.
00:26:12.000There was an incredible video that was highlighted that I played on one of my members' areas Today, specifically highlighting a young man at an abortion rally, specifically women who are arguing for abortion, for women's reproductive rights.
00:26:26.000And he asked them, my body, my choice?
00:27:04.000Most of these default liberal types just want to fit in.
00:27:07.000So whatever the machine tells them, they say, OK.
00:27:09.000Then you have the left, which has seized the reins of the machine, and they're just throwing out edict.
00:27:13.000So is communism the easiest thing to fit into, like, politically, geopolitically?
00:27:17.000As opposed to, like, because it's not easy to be an American that's constantly freaking out about freedom and, like, always... So here's a very big deal that I realized early in my life.
00:28:31.000That's the reason you need a higher principle than evolution to guide your life by, which is why, ultimately, I do believe this is a religious battle.
00:28:41.000Let's talk about that, too, because one of my views... There's a lot of people who've described what the difference between the left and the right is.
00:28:48.000Some have said it's nationalist versus a globalist.
00:29:12.000I believe, and I mentioned a moment ago, that it's the politically discerning, those who would challenge the news and try and make sure they're correct, versus those who want to follow and fit in.
00:29:21.000I think one large component is the Christian moral framework versus an absent moral framework.
00:29:28.000And what I mean by that is, to go back to Bill Maher, the way I've described it in the past, Bill Maher is an atheist.
00:29:34.000He made the documentary Religulous, where he challenges, you know, he asks people, he travels around trying to understand.
00:29:39.000Bill Maher will say he doesn't believe in God and his morality doesn't come from that, but his morality literally is based in the Bible.
00:29:45.000Not completely, not all of it, I'm not saying that, and I'm not saying you need to be religious, because I'm not practicing religious in any way, any religion.
00:29:51.000What I mean is, why do we have the value of innocent until proven guilty?
00:29:56.000Because we were raised by a culture that valued that.
00:29:59.000If you were raised in a different culture on the other side of the planet, they would not have the same value.
00:30:03.000In fact, there have been many countries that have said the inverse.
00:30:06.000It is better that 10 innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape.
00:30:10.000We in the United States hold an inverted view of that.
00:30:12.000Benjamin Franklin said, it is better that 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.
00:30:17.000It was a planned Blackstone's formulation, which is 10 people.
00:30:21.000Blackstone's formulation, it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent sufferer, is rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:30:55.000These stories from religion were carried on and left within us by the previous generation.
00:31:01.000Now people like Bill Maher say they don't believe in any of that stuff, not realizing he would have never known of that concept were it not passed down to him.
00:31:09.000When you look at other countries, other cultures on the other side of the planet that did not have the same religious values, they don't have this.
00:31:16.000If you look at what's going on with Communist China and other countries, they have a presumption of guilt.
00:31:21.000You get locked up and then we'll figure it out.
00:31:23.000So in this country, it seems like there came a point where we still are mostly Christian, but many people aren't really practicing and don't really know what it means.
00:31:32.000You get a generation of people who say they're atheists, but still hold a lot of that Christian moral framework, and now we're entering a period where you have a generation with no moral framework at all.
00:31:43.000And if there's no moral framework, then there is no truth but power, which is what we're starting to see.
00:32:01.000It's still the most widely read introduction to Judaism in English.
00:32:06.000And in it I wrote about something I had read called Cut Flower Ethics.
00:32:12.000If you cut flowers from the soil that nurtured them, you could look at the flower and for a couple of days it looks like it doesn't need the soil that nurtured it.
00:33:11.000The most hated video I ever made was, I don't remember the exact title, but essentially, if God did not say murder is wrong, is murder wrong?
00:33:21.000And it drives people crazy, even though the logic... I debated this at Oxford many years ago against the professor of moral philosophy at Oxford, and he's an atheist, and he said, of course, Prager is right.
00:33:33.000If there is no God, there is no objective morality, only subjective.
00:33:38.000You can say, I believe murder is wrong, I think murder is wrong, I feel murder is wrong, but you can't say murder is wrong.
00:33:46.000Only if there is something that transcends the human that says murder is wrong is murder wrong.
00:33:51.000But how do you explain that to someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to understand it?
00:34:20.000Well, so, the left, they believe in credentialism.
00:34:24.000And so they'll often say, don't listen to Tim Poole, he's a high school dropout, that means he's dumb.
00:34:28.000And my attitude is like, my arguments are what proves I'm dumb.
00:34:31.000Like, if you think my arguments are bad, and they are bad, then I'm dumb.
00:34:35.000But if you don't have an argument against what I've said, or you don't understand the concepts behind them because you lack the mental capacity, I don't think the issue is credentials or school.
00:34:43.000I think, in my experience, you can argue that many high school dropouts tend not to succeed, but there are a lot of people who realize This system isn't working properly.
00:34:52.000And in my case, I was building computers, programming video games, I was playing music, and I just thought, this does not serve me in any way other than to drag me down.
00:35:00.000And so I just, you know, took issue with it.
00:35:04.000Sorry, I just call them indoctrination centers.
00:35:08.000And I would just kind of want to point out also, there's a lot of statistics when it comes to people who believe in a religion, people who have families.
00:35:14.000And correlation with not just overall happiness, but success in life, that I think are absolutely worth talking about here as well, that provide a lot of different perspective when it comes to, you know, a lot of people coming up in this world.
00:35:26.000I want to mention, when you say cut flower, is that what you called it?
00:35:42.000And the woke is a direct result of his advocacy of rejecting this moral framework.
00:35:48.000Again, I'm not saying that people need to believe in God, but I think you need to understand your roots and where your values come from.
00:35:55.000By the way, forgive me, I just want to say, to the chagrin of many religious people, I almost only argue for the necessity of God rather than the existence of God.
00:36:08.000Because if I prove to you, or not, you can't prove it, but if I convince you God exists, I have done nothing.
00:36:15.000Because the number of people who believe in God who are moral idiots is very large.
00:36:20.000However, if I convince you that God is morally necessary, Well, this is what's fascinating.
00:36:27.000in life the greatest urge human has even more so than sex, then I have changed your life.
00:36:48.000New York said we want to stop guns on the street and contraband.
00:36:51.000Therefore, the police now have the right to randomly stop anyone and frisk them.
00:36:57.000It resulted in marginalized people, as the left said, and it literally did, disproportionately targeted young black men and Latinos.
00:37:04.000The argument from Bloomberg was, they're the ones committing the crime, so that's what you're gonna see.
00:37:09.000Now, The whistleblowing was that they actually were instructed to target racial minorities, so they kind of leapfrogged the issue of here's where the crime is to just target the racial group, and that had a negative consequence.
00:37:20.000If that issue was bad, red flag laws, exact same logic.
00:37:24.000We got to get guns off the street and stop dangerous people from having them.
00:37:28.000We can go into your home and take your guns if we have reason to believe that you're, you know, unwell or a threat or a danger.
00:37:35.000If that happens in New York and it happens in a bunch of places, which I think it already has, you're going to start seeing the exact same thing they were already complaining about.
00:37:43.000If they say one is good and one is bad, but they're functionally identical, or one is actually... Red flag laws are worse.
00:38:25.000Do not steal does not apply if you are, as I said, they don't divide the world between right and wrong, but between black and white, rich and poor.
00:41:18.000Have everybody live by the Ten Commandments.
00:41:20.000I want to give an example, if I may, because behind me, I'm told, is one of the volumes of my Bible commentary.
00:41:27.000If every atheist listening read that, they would at least intellectually appreciate What those of us who believe the Bible is the greatest book ever written is about has nothing to do with faith nothing that's why I call it the rational Bible and I begin my my preface as follows when I was in my early 20s and late teens I had issues with my parents which is pretty common on earth and
00:42:11.000If I didn't show my parents honor even if I had a hard time with them and i'm telling you This this is a classic example of what the left is doing to the society by getting rid of of the Of the of the ten commandments the divine origins of all this What we're seeing today is this is my my field of study communism and fascism for that matter nazism Every totalitarian movement begins by by subverting parental authority and that is what the left is doing in america You subverting parental authority you listen to the state Kids you listen to the leader kids.
00:42:51.000You don't listen to your parents kids Oh, yeah, and also a lot of authority figures.
00:42:56.000So when the Russians, the Soviets took over Poland, they got rid of a lot of doctors.
00:43:02.000They got rid of a lot of historians and just took them to Siberia or assassinated them because they were the ones that were the most influential in their society.
00:43:10.000And they needed to get rid of that in order to push the communist doctrine.
00:44:08.000And Carter's head of security was Bigniew Brzezinski, Polish.
00:44:13.000Who was the guy I studied under at Columbia, ironically.
00:44:16.000But I don't understand why Polish jokes ever developed.
00:44:20.000It was against just demeaning the people, and actually Polish people actually have some of the highest IQ in the region.
00:44:27.000Speaking of Brzezinski, the National Security Advisor, I actually had some very interesting conversations with him on my own personal channel, but there's a lot we could get into, especially culturally, especially with Poland.
00:44:35.000But I also have another question to ask about the larger religious aspect.
00:44:39.000Just kind of debate this, because the left usually also has a counter argument to what we're talking about now.
00:44:44.000And their arguments, I don't know how you would address this, but they usually say religion isn't good. It created
00:44:50.000war, it created suffering, it created the Crusades, and historically, they would argue that it was a net negative.
00:44:55.000How do you respond to some of their arguments?
00:44:58.000Yes, so this shows you how bad our education is in America.
00:45:02.000The bloodiest century on record is the 20th century.
00:45:07.000And that is because 100 million people, non-combatants, were murdered.
00:45:17.00099% of them except for the case of the of the of the Turks killing Armenians 99% of that hundred million were killed by secular regimes They never tell you that they tell all the evil committed by religious groups First of all, everybody was religious in the Middle Ages, so it's a pointless point.
00:45:38.000All the good done was also done by religious groups.
00:45:41.000All the bad, all you had were religious groups.
00:45:43.000But where you had religious and secular, there is no comparison.
00:45:50.000Sorry, that's why I say I'm interested in arguing for God's existence, but I am passionate about the importance of talking about God's necessity.
00:46:01.000Yeah, I think a lot of the issue they're having is that the, I think the commandments, some of them are plaintive, like don't kill people.
00:46:36.000We can't get by without some authority in the early days, or probably the whole time.
00:46:41.000I think one of the challenges is that I don't know if you have to believe... I don't think you have to believe in God.
00:46:47.000I think you need to understand the philosophy and the philosophy behind the religions, understand the history of humanity, how we came to the point, what religion provided, and then you can be someone who is a secular atheist and say, I understand, like I mentioned with the innocent until proven guilty, why it's valuable, how it helps civilization, how it's rooted in religion.
00:47:07.000If a secular atheist says, look, I personally, I just find it very hard to believe in God for X, Y, Z reasons, however, If mankind gives that up, if the Bible is not the reference point, we're screwed.
00:47:23.000But they replaced that with Star Wars.
00:47:25.000If you see a lot of young men, they have replaced cartoons, fictional characters, entertainment, movie, Hollywood psyops, as I call them, with this worshipping idea of these fake characters, these fake idols, and they make their whole lives surrounded with their personalities around these fake figures.
00:47:40.000So there is some kind of merit to the argument that if they're not going to have a religious belief, they're going to have Of course.
00:48:31.000It talked about how they used a circuit board, sending electrons down a path, and they created something that ultimately resulted in electrons simulating an orbit, but without a nucleus.
00:48:43.000And they said it simulated the elemental properties of this similar atomic weight or whatever.
00:49:22.000That people now believe, not only believe it, but believe that if you deny it, You are anti-science, and you are a hater.
00:49:33.000But I don't know if people actually believe that.
00:49:36.000I understand there are people who espouse it.
00:49:38.000But we mentioned this the other day, if you take a look at Joe Biden's Real Clear Politics approval rating, his aggregate, right now today it's 38.7.
00:49:47.000It is very low, and you'd think that if two-thirds of the country outright was like, we do not like Joe Biden, Then mainstream comics would be like, well, that's the market, right?
00:49:58.000More money is to be made advertising to the majority group.
00:50:52.000They started destroying When Chick-fil-a's owner simply said, I'm a Christian and I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, the attempt to destroy Chick-fil-a, by the way, Chick-fil-a has done a 180 degree change as it happens, but that's a separate issue.
00:51:39.000They're gonna understand it in the chatroom.
00:51:41.000I got a question for you guys, and I don't want to change the topic, but I missed the last couple minutes, and if you're ready for a new topic.
00:51:46.000I've been thinking about free will and determinism a lot lately.
00:53:02.000And he went, oh, and a lot of people make fun of this.
00:53:05.000You know, Elon Musk was making fun of it because the way chatbots work, you know, they're not necessarily, not really AIs is that they read the internet and they determine what words come after other words probabilistically.
00:53:23.000The chatbot just looks at every conversation and reads the internet and says, 99.9% of the time, after someone says, hi, how are you, the response is fine.
00:53:32.00099.9% of the time, the response, the word after fine is thank, followed by you.
00:53:39.000If you don't believe that there is something beyond this existence, if there's something greater, and you are just a wet robot, as many people have, as I've been told, then I say all of your actions are simply dominoes falling over for which you have no control over.
00:53:55.000If, as you described it, you are something else, a soul piloting your body, then you are directly influencing the system and moving the dominoes out of the way and rearranging them.
00:54:06.000Another way to phrase it, other conversations that we like to go deep on is DMT trips, in which, talking with Michael Malice and Alex Jones have been absolutely fascinating on the subject, and there is an idea that, you're familiar with DMT I'd imagine?
00:54:24.000When you take it, they call it blasting off.
00:54:27.000And people say they experience this shared reality space, where I've talked to people, prominent individuals, I'll leave their names out of it, who say that these two personalities took DMT and then were tripping, but were in the same place, and they were able to communicate with each other and experience the same thing.
00:54:46.000Many people have claimed this as well.
00:54:48.000There's an idea that when you blast off, there are beings that effectively use our bodies as puppets or something to that effect that people have experienced.
00:54:58.000And I find that fascinating because I'm like, it sounds like you're describing some kind of a soul or some kind of, you know, extension of us outside of our bodies and we are effectively being controlled by what that extension is.
00:55:09.000When you take DMT, you blast off and then can see through the veil and see what's really going on.
00:55:14.000The fascinating thing about this is that it's similarly described by people of religious backgrounds for generations, for millennia.
00:55:23.000And then the best part about this, too, is to tie it back together with modern sensibilities.
00:55:28.000You're familiar with simulism, I wonder?
00:55:40.000I absolutely love this concept because you have people like Elon Musk and these other tech bros who are like, If it is possible that we can create a simulation, then it is probable that a more advanced and powerful civilization created the universe that we are in.
00:55:57.000And I'm like, that sounds like what I learned in first grade of religious school when I was going to Catholic school.
00:56:02.000A being of greater power crafted the universe for which we exist in for some purpose.
00:56:08.000Simulation theory is like level one of what religion has been talking about for thousands of years.
00:56:14.000I think it's just described in a way that doesn't offend people's, you know, delicate modern sensibilities.
00:57:39.000I hate to say this because it's so irrelevant, but some people might find it relevant.
00:57:43.000She just graduated Harvard, and by the way, it's a very touching story.
00:57:47.000At the graduation, 36,000 people are there, and the New Zealand Prime Minister, who's as woke as it gets on planet Earth, she's the one who I play on my radio show regularly saying, if you haven't heard it from the government, it isn't true.
00:58:05.000There's no compunction about saying that.
00:58:08.000Anyway, she spoke about how they have all these laws for unlimited abortion in New Zealand and 35,999 people stood up except for Julie.
00:58:47.000But I was talking with someone and I said, you just mentioned there are people who can't imagine there's something higher than them, more powerful than them.
00:58:53.000And to me, that's a logical impossibility that there isn't.
00:58:57.000Very simply put, if you believe the universe is as vast and as explosive as it is, then you believe that humans are but simple wet robots that exist within it.
00:59:05.000Certainly, there is a greater degree of sophistication in a wet robot than us.
00:59:10.000Like, humans are not the end-all be-all of physical capability in terms of particles coming together and interacting with each other.
00:59:18.000If humans exist, if the universe is as large as we think it is, certainly there is a higher power than us.
00:59:24.000Well, I think the misnomer is that it's higher.
00:59:26.000It's happening in synchronicity with us on another plane of perception.
00:59:31.000So, like, as atoms, we're also atoms, we're also subatomic spinners.
00:59:35.000We're also just a dot out in the galaxy if you're far enough away looking at us.
00:59:38.000But if you go small enough and you start to see the vortex of the vacuum, and like, I'm studying these things called plasmin, things in the center of clouds of plasma, and when light refracts off of it, it seems to move with some sort of, if not intelligence, coherence, and I don't know why it's doing that.
00:59:58.000Like, if the information is being given to plasma from light, and then it's transmitting into matter, I don't, I've never seen the evidence that it's intelligent.
01:00:49.000Even though it's built its anthill right next to it.
01:00:51.000It's entirely possible that aliens have built a superhighway right above us, in outer space, and we can't perceive of it.
01:00:56.000Or, even if we do, we don't understand what it is, so we just don't think about it.
01:01:00.000That being said, I'm like... The idea is that humans and ants evolved or are on the same planet and have a lot of similarities in their DNA, but more importantly, a dog.
01:01:12.000Dogs can actually communicate with humans on a rudimentary level, and a dog doesn't know what a superhighway is, how it functions, or why it was put there.
01:01:19.000So it's fascinating that we can be so closely related to a chimpanzee, and the chimpanzee, with our DNA 99% similar, will not understand the concept of a car or a highway at all.
01:01:30.000That is the reason it is so important.
01:01:33.000Back to the most brilliant book ever written, the Bible.
01:01:37.000We, and not animals, are created in God's image.
01:01:40.000So even if we had 99.9% of the same DNA, that difference is all the difference you need.
01:01:55.000But I believe this shows that it just means there's a likelihood, a greater likelihood of beings well beyond us, beyond our comprehension or understanding.
01:02:04.000If the universe is... I mean, I look at it this way.
01:02:08.000If we only recently learned that the visible universe or perceivable reality is less than one millionth of reality, because, you know, the chart, the electromagnetic spectrum was discovered, what, like early 1900s, end of the 1800s or whatever.
01:02:25.000I can only imagine that there's probably a whole lot more.
01:02:29.000Maybe, maybe millions of times more aspects of reality we have not yet discovered.
01:02:34.000We cannot perceive directly the electromagnetic spectrum, but we can create tools that allow us to effectively see in the dark.
01:02:41.000Are there tools we have not yet created that would allow us to see in another form of the dark we haven't yet discovered?
01:02:46.000There could be, you know, to throw to Star Trek, subspace.
01:02:49.000You know, some other element or aspect of the universe we can't perceive yet.
01:02:53.000I believe that's extremely likely because I think humans aren't masters of the universe.
01:02:59.000I suppose if you are one of these people who doesn't believe in a god or a higher power, it may be because you think humans are the highest power and you can't perceive of anything beyond them, like you were saying.
01:03:10.000Well, I, to be honest, am not troubled by these issues.
01:03:14.000I am troubled by how do we minimize murder, rape, torture?
01:03:20.000I have a moral preoccupation with the universe.
01:03:25.000They've done a pretty rotten job in history.
01:03:27.000I just debated somebody in LA two weeks ago who said, amazing to me, sad to me, it was a rabbi, who said, human beings are innately good.
01:03:38.000An idea I consider to be as preposterous as men give birth and Those are the things that trouble me.
01:03:46.000I can't know about extraterrestrials now So in the limited time I have on this on this the plane of this universe i'd like to minimize evil That's my preoccupation the left maximizes evil and and that's why I fight the left every day I can they what they have done as I said 99 Except for hitler which was which was let's say 10 10 I don't know, 10, 15 million, 6 million Jews, and millions of others.
01:04:15.000But overwhelmingly, the genocides of the 20th century were all communist.
01:04:20.000So that people don't fear the left shows, A, they are utterly ignorant of history, and B, that they are morally challenged almost beyond redemption.
01:04:33.000I think, you know, if we cut it down to a rudimentary level, going back to what I was talking about with the politically discerning and the uninitiated, I asked you, how do you explain these concepts to people who don't have the mental capacity for it?
01:05:31.000Yet, over here, on what they call the right, we're constantly like, please fact-check us, and look this up for yourself to make sure it's true and correct, because we're trying our best.
01:05:40.000The way to get through to the people that aren't thinking critically is you gotta make God exciting.
01:05:48.000What's more exciting than having meaning in life?
01:06:07.000And I know that a lot of single people think you can't think of anything more boring than being married.
01:06:14.000They don't understand that making a family, raising kids, having a partner through life, that's damn, damn exciting compared to, gee, where will I have dinner tonight?
01:06:47.000What I was going to say is, if there's one thing that is a wake-up call to anyone who is single, that you need to have a family, it's going to the hospital.
01:06:54.000Being a single adult male, and having an issue where you have to go to the hospital, and you're lying in that bed, all by yourself, and you're like, oh, this is very bad.
01:07:59.000Look, I have to be intellectually honest and tell you these are the ones calling my show.
01:08:04.000They may well call a left-wing show and say, oh, I am so thrilled I never had a husband and children because I can't tell you how much I enjoy being the CEO of this computer software company.
01:08:55.000And it was a function of the lockdowns.
01:08:58.000What I called in April 2020, people can see it on the internet, I was universally mocked for it, the greatest mistake in history on a worldwide basis, the lockdowns, which they turned out to be.
01:09:11.000Yet people bought it for reasons because once they hear experts say, experts say to the secular is what thus saith the Lord is to the religious.
01:09:23.000Do you think maybe birth control is playing a role in this?
01:09:30.000It's hormonal mass medication of young women.
01:09:32.000And obviously the left's attitude is it's good, it's important, that way women can date and be promiscuous enough to worry about having a baby and they can maintain their career.
01:09:41.000But I'm also wondering if it perhaps alters the perception.
01:09:45.000One thing that I've read is that women often get advised to get off birth control before marrying their partner, their significant other, because it alters their perception.
01:09:56.000And many women will find, after getting off birth control, their man smells bad.
01:10:01.000And they say that if that's true, don't marry them because something's not right.
01:10:06.000But being on birth control clouds that perception.
01:10:10.000If that's the case, I'm wondering if this is also clouding other issues, and perhaps if a woman is on birth control, maybe it's an issue of, you know, when she comes off birth control and she's older, and that hormone is removed from the body, maybe her perception changes or something to that effect.
01:10:29.000I have heard that about the smell thing, and I've heard that if you smell your partner and they don't, it's very subconscious, and sometimes you don't even notice it until after you're not on birth control anymore.
01:10:40.000Now, I don't exactly have anything that I personally can say about this because I lost my sense of smell to COVID in November.
01:10:48.000It's been gone for a really long time.
01:10:50.000And I'm getting to the point where I'm worried that when I have my first child, I won't be able to smell them, which is horrifying.
01:10:55.000But when you bring up the sense of smell with women, it's like they don't even realize it's something that they're missing.
01:11:00.000So it's very subconscious, and I think it's something that should definitely It has a lot to do with pheromones and it has a lot to do to see if they're compatible with each other biologically.
01:11:08.000And this is why, you know, a lot of people also put on a lot of heavy metals and deodorants right in their armpits, right into one of the major flows of blood in their entire body.
01:11:16.000That also has a lot of negative health consequences.
01:11:18.000There's been horror stories after horror stories when it comes to birth control in women.
01:11:23.000and and business insider had a very interesting article in two thousand
01:11:26.000fifteen i was titled women now control more than half of u s personal wealth
01:11:32.000which will only increase in years to come and i think uh... i don't know if you could pinpoint it to one
01:11:37.000particular thing but we are seeing the destruction of the family unit we're seeing the
01:11:41.000deep population plan that has been rolled out that is implemented and we're
01:11:46.000seeing the larger consequences of this where you are musk just we did even a
01:11:49.000couple hours ago birth rates being below minimal sustainable levels for over 50 years now.
01:11:57.000The fertility rates have been dropping, testosterone rates have been dropping, sperm rates have been dropping.
01:12:30.000It's not that Gen Z were red-pilled, it's that conservatives had more kids!
01:12:35.000So, if You get 100 conservatives and 100 liberals, and the liberals only have 70 kids out of the 100 parents, and the conservatives have 100 kids.
01:12:45.000You take that 100 conservative kids and 70 liberal kids, put them together and poll the 170, and you're like, wow, it's mostly conservative.
01:12:53.000Simply put, I read a story that said the future is Muslim, because Muslims have even more kids than Christian conservatives do.
01:13:01.000And they said it's simple math, that if liberals are going to be aborting their children and just not trying to have kids in the first place, more likely for the women to have careers, conservatives are more likely to have kids, but devout religious fundamentalist Muslim are having substantially more kids, then the future will skew in the direction of that faith.
01:13:20.000And a lot of the people who don't have a religion, don't believe in a higher power, usually are more susceptible to propaganda on the television.
01:13:29.000And there's been a lot of subliminal propaganda saying, don't have children.
01:13:32.000This is especially true in Europe, where there's major advertisements saying, you could be more free, you could enjoy life more if you don't have your children.
01:13:40.000Don't have your children because it's bad for the environment.
01:13:55.000When they literally write articles saying that, it's like...
01:13:58.000There's this belief that we have too much and that that's that, but we're going to start pulling carbon out of the air.
01:14:03.000There's technology where you can deposit carbon dioxide onto palladium and create graphene out of it, which is just a monoatomic layer of carbon, and then we can reuse the graphene as a building material.
01:14:12.000So we'll start harvesting the carbon dioxide and competing with trees, and then we're going to need more carbon dioxide.
01:14:17.000They will... I am convinced that the Greens If we had perfect technology to remove carbon dioxide, they would still push for solar panels and windmills.
01:14:41.000There is a romantic fixation on bringing us back to the 17th century or 18th century.
01:14:49.000Nuclear power powers 60% of France's electricity.
01:14:54.000It is safe, it is clean, if indeed carbon is dirty, it is clean, and yet they are opposed to nuclear power.
01:15:02.000So if that, I've read about that, and you would think that they would be thrilled to know that, but they are no more thrilled about removing carbon dioxide than they are about nuclear power.
01:15:13.000They want us to use solar panels and wind power.
01:15:42.000If I could ask you, because you said you traveled in a lot of Eastern European countries, if you don't mind me transitioning here, what do you think of what's happening in Ukraine right now?
01:15:50.000What's your perspective from everything, since there's a mainstream media establishment push from one perspective, but it's a very complicated situation?
01:15:58.000So, I don't think it's as complicated as a lot of my fellow conservatives think it is.
01:16:06.000Russia did something evil in invading Ukraine.
01:16:10.000You can think things through to the end.
01:16:15.000Okay, if we don't defend the independence of a country because the government is corrupt, we will never defend any country.
01:16:24.000Government is corrupt, almost by definition, because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as was said by Lord Acton in the 19th century.
01:17:25.000So what do you think about the $40 billion and now today the additional $1 billion that's going to Ukraine as of today?
01:17:32.000Right, so that's a very fair question.
01:17:36.000The original sin about the $40 billion is that we printed trillions of dollars of dollars because of the Democrats, and that is not the only thing that has created the terrible inflation.
01:17:52.000And the other is that we are now giving not from our surplus weaponry, but from the heart of our weaponry, because the Democrats have, over the course of decades, said we don't need so many weapons as we have.
01:18:10.000But if America is not the strongest country on earth, cruelty will dominate the earth.
01:18:16.000That's just the fact of life, and conservatives should be the first to say that.
01:19:12.000Well, if you look at the markets now, it's far more complicated.
01:19:15.000But earlier we talked about how do we prevent the loss of life.
01:19:18.000How can we do that, especially in Ukraine, when I think it's very essential and very clear that the United States is just giving them enough weapons to prolong this war.
01:19:28.000They gave them specific hardware that was missing equipment on it that would have been a game changer for the Ukrainians, but they're giving equipment just enough to prolong the conflict but not have a decisive victory.
01:19:39.000Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, came to this larger kind of geopolitical conundrum and he said, There has to be some kind of a peace deal.
01:19:47.000There has to be some kind of negotiation.
01:19:50.000And he's even suggesting some kind of way to de-escalate this entire situation.
01:20:06.000Look, if you really want an original sin, or at least a beginning sin, in the direction of what you're saying, it is this president, which I say with difficulty, I admit, this president saying that Putin has to go.
01:20:24.000You have put Putin in the place of, I have no choice but to win.
01:20:31.000But for the New York Times and the entire elite of this country, there is no sin Biden can commit, because any Democrat is better than any Republican.
01:20:43.000And by the way, I believe Virtually any Republican is better than any Democrat.
01:22:08.000There's been specific military munitions, especially when it comes to the howitzers, that are missing key GPS components that would change the game, but the United States is not giving them that.
01:22:16.000So that to me, I think this is again a very complex issue.
01:22:19.000I don't claim to know the answers here.
01:22:27.000And obviously so, because of the history and the bloodshed and the life loss that was committed there.
01:22:31.000And this is a conundrum that is very difficult to address.
01:22:35.000When I went to Poland during the Cold War, because again that was my field, So, I speak Russian, and I spoke, I'd go to, you know, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, East Germany, Romania.
01:22:46.000So, I would go there, and because I spoke Russian, I got along, because they had to learn Russian.
01:23:26.000Maybe because corporations are the arms manufacturers right now, and they don't care about any government.
01:23:31.000Well, not to deviate, I suppose, but Dennis, why do you think Ukraine's fallen out of the news cycle?
01:23:38.000People get bored when there is nothing new to report, and they are understandably more preoccupied with their own lives, whether right or wrong, and they are watching America crumble, financially, economically, morally, and that's the reason.
01:24:00.000I mean, look, Vietnam, I mean, I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam War, and There was a point where people tuned out of the Vietnam War reports.
01:24:10.000They were still made, and of course that was much more directly involved because Americans were dying.
01:24:15.000Americans are not dying in Ukraine, which is another factor.
01:24:28.000This is from James Lindsay, but this is something that we've actually talked about on this show.
01:24:31.000This is a poll showing five different regions of the United States and their propensity towards seceding from the Union by region based on political party.
01:24:42.000You can see the southern states, which is Texas, Florida, Virginia, etc.
01:24:48.000Shows 66% of Republicans favor secession.
01:24:53.000In the heartland, as it's described, 43% of independent voters favor secession.
01:25:00.000In the mountain region, the plurality is 43% of Republicans.
01:25:05.000In the Pacific region, I believe it's 47% of Democrats favor secession.
01:25:11.000In the Northeast, it's split fairly evenly, 39% Democrat, 35% Independent, and then a smaller portion of Republicans.
01:25:20.000When I saw this story, I took each region, Their total population and the percentages based on political affiliation of population.
01:25:29.000Then I normalized it for the entire country using this data to find 37.2% of people in this country favor their particular region breaking off to form its own country.
01:25:39.000More than one third of people in this country want their region to secede.
01:26:23.000So when you're looking at various sample sizes, typically there's scientifically weighted polls that have a margin of error included in it, and to the best of our understanding, this is the sentiment.
01:26:32.000Oh, the point I was making is I think they don't know what that means to secede.
01:26:36.000Everyone wants a nice peaceful debate.
01:26:39.000Look at where Harper's Ferry is, dude.
01:26:59.000That's one whole region and it leaves.
01:27:01.000Whereas, you know, what are you going to do to give Harper's Ferry the example you gave?
01:27:06.000But I think you're right that that percentage of Americans do want to leave the other part of America.
01:27:13.000I live in California, and if L.A., San Francisco decided to make their own state with all their wealth and everything else they had, I would be a very happy man.
01:28:36.000We've got Oregon. A bunch of these districts in the East of Oregon want to
01:28:40.000secede from the state to join the greater state of Jefferson or North
01:28:42.000Carolina wants to secede to join the state of Jefferson to create a new state. The
01:28:47.000sentiment is there and all that it takes for the sentiment to become reality
01:28:51.000is a lack of confidence in the system.
01:28:53.000In the first Civil War, the issue was, one of the issues, was the North was not following federal law, particularly the Fugitive Slave Act.
01:29:02.000The South said, if we have a pact, And we all agree, Congress, that's the law, and you have to follow it.
01:29:07.000And these states do not follow it, and the federal government doesn't enforce it, then there clearly is no pact.
01:29:13.000Because, you know, in their perspective, it was just, well, they already decided that the federal government wasn't standing, so we have no point in being a part of this union.
01:29:22.000It's entirely possible that we see the same thing this time around.
01:29:25.000That it may seem unthinkable until it just happens gradually, then suddenly.
01:29:31.000I'm not saying that it can't shatter, because the U.S.
01:29:33.000could fall apart and shatter, but it wouldn't look like that.
01:29:36.000It wouldn't be like six nice, cut, neatly parts.
01:29:39.000It'd be like, do you want to board your windows up and hope that the Air Force doesn't strike tonight kind of thing?
01:29:48.000And I know that, because we've had people say peaceful divorce over and over again.
01:29:51.000And what I tell them, you know, Luke talked about peaceful divorce early on, Michael Malice has, and I say, that's what the first civil war was for the first few months.
01:30:00.000It was a bunch of states saying, we hereby decree, have a nice day.
01:30:17.000Now, on the north side, you had a whole bunch of people who were ideologically driven, who absolutely were like, now's the time to shut down slavery.
01:33:02.000Blue states double down and say abortion to the point of birth, which we already see in Colorado, and was attempted in Virginia.
01:33:08.000There are, I think, a couple other states that have completely unrestricted abortion, which means a baby at nine months gestation, which could survive on its own, is killed and removed from the woman.
01:33:18.000I then think we're going to look at a red wave in November.
01:33:22.000And we've already had, you know, Jamal Bowman say that, oh, you know, civil wars are at stake if we don't win this one.
01:33:30.000And there are people who are saying that the country can't exist at the midterms.
01:33:42.000Yeah, I believe in compromising for the sake of the greater good so that if we could have it the second two-thirds of pregnancy, if we could make exceptions in rape and abortion, rape and incest, fully understanding, I believe that it is a human life.
01:34:01.000Would you support a nationwide ban on elective abortion?
01:34:07.000A nationwide ban on elective abortion.
01:34:51.000Would you agree with that, what Oklahoma's doing?
01:34:53.000Or no, you think there's got to be some... I think it should be decided on not a national level.
01:34:56.000I think it should be decided on a state level.
01:34:58.000So I think, you know, that's what people pushed back on me when I presented this scenario.
01:35:03.000A lot of Republicans said, no, no, because we believe in the state level.
01:35:07.000So my potential is, you know, talking with Seamus, for instance, who's a Catholic conservative, I said, would you support a nationwide ban on abortions?
01:37:01.000So let me entertain this legal conundrum.
01:37:04.000If there was a man, a white man, who kidnapped a black man and had him in chains and was demanding he work for him and be a slave or something, you try to intervene and say, release this man, I'm going to save him, I'm intervening.
01:37:19.000If that crazed guy attacks you, And you, in defense of this other man, kill him.
01:37:26.000You're acting in the defense of others.
01:37:27.000It's an affirmative defense as it pertains to the taking of a person's life.
01:37:31.000What my concern is, if we do see the codification of abortion as a homicide, as a criminal act akin to any other murder, Well, that is the reason, when you asked me do I want a national law banning all abortions, and I had hesitation even though I am pro-life, is that I think that the pro-life community as well needs to be honest in confronting
01:38:05.000The fact that we don't see it as identical to murder.
01:40:42.000Alright, John Harrison says, time to see if Ian is enough of a mad lad to start an anti-Christianity rant with Prager looking him in the eye.
01:41:10.000I am probably the biggest non-Christian defender of Christianity in America.
01:41:17.000I think I brought more people back to their Christian church than almost any Christian living, to be honest.
01:41:23.000And I'm proud of that fact, but I'm a believing Jew, not a believing Christian.
01:41:27.000I should point out, I love the idea of Christianity being the anointed one living like Christ, but I'm not into the authoritarian nature of church, of the organization of it.
01:41:37.000Maybe we can talk about that at some point.
01:41:38.000Well, yeah, look, religion can't be a democracy.
01:41:42.000You don't vote on the Ten Commandments.
01:41:46.000Moses comes down, for those who don't know their Bible, he came down twice.
01:41:51.000He came down with the Ten Commandments the first time he saw the Israelites worshipping the golden calf and having an orgy and he smashes them.
01:42:01.000Comes down the second time and he announces, Israelites, I have good news and bad news.
01:42:40.000Yes, every time I read the Bible I hear from God, but I have never directly heard from God.
01:42:44.000Alright, we got Fox Tashikado says, Hey Tim and crew, how is it that the left woke mob that is a pretty small group and really on here in the U.S.
01:43:37.000You made a good point about banning free speech and just the curtailing of it.
01:43:41.000And I'm thinking about algorithmic shadow banning where people don't know that they're being slowed down on the network.
01:43:47.000Like if you were in a room speaking to a thousand people and you didn't know that they weren't hearing you and you were just talking and you thought they were hearing you, that would be unconscionable for the event that put it on.
01:43:56.000They would be slandered in the media for doing that to you.
01:43:58.000But on Twitter, if they've deranked your account, they can decide... Facebook has done that to PragerU.
01:44:40.000From liberals, which I think consider Bill Maher, there is so much a lack of courage among liberals that when there is a courageous liberal, I don't want to give him a hard time.
01:48:38.000The Rational Bible, Exodus, and your five-minute videos were uniquely responsible for turning my life around and returning to my Catholic faith four and a half years ago.
01:48:46.000Now I'm happily married with a baby on the way.
01:48:53.000So I just want to say, I'm very bad at self-promotion, but nobody writes a Bible commentary to get wealthy.
01:48:59.000But if every one of your, no, if a tenth of your listeners read any of my Rational Bible volumes, it would enhance their life tremendously.
01:49:10.000I'm not here to make you Christian or Jewish or anything else.
01:49:14.000Just take God and that book seriously.
01:49:17.000Richard Knight says, I came home two years ago excited to tell my Christian mother about this amazing man, Dennis Prager, I had heard on the radio.
01:49:24.000Quote, oh, my favorite Jew, she exclaimed.
01:49:26.000God bless all you and everything you do for our country.
01:49:29.000Oh, so I always correct Christians who say I'm their favorite Jew.
01:49:40.000Dave, have you ever heard the- A religious Jew.
01:49:43.000As I- there was a bumper sticker in Greenwich Village when I grew up in New York and it said, Jesus grew up in a kosher home.
01:49:52.000I heard this- I don't want to- I want to like the super chest but I heard this this theory that the Roman like the papacy or these these Romans oligarchs basically created Christianity to disempower the Jews in like 80 AD or something.
01:51:45.000The name for the Jewish people in the Bible is Israel.
01:51:48.000Israel means, and it's in Hebrew, and it's said so in the Bible, the name Israel means struggle with God, fight with God.
01:51:55.000And it began with the first Jew, Abraham, fighting with God over Sodom and Gomorrah.
01:52:00.000So I, to the great credit of the biggest atheist group in America, about 15 years ago they invited me to debate their head about God's existence.
01:52:09.000I think it's Atheists United, but I'm not sure if that was the group.
01:52:12.000Anyway, the biggest atheist group, to their credit, invited me to debate.
01:52:33.000And then I looked at them and I said, whenever I speak to religious groups and I say, raise your hand if you have ever doubted God, every hand goes up.
01:52:44.000You think we're the ones who don't struggle and don't doubt and don't question.
01:52:51.000You're the ones who don't doubt and don't struggle and don't question.
01:53:21.000And we're doing a big ad push because we're going to be releasing the Will of the People album.
01:53:25.000Muse also released a very similar concept with a similar color scheme and theme of people wearing masks and pulling down statues.
01:53:32.000and i was like wow that's really a whole lot like what we did and you know but uh it is what it is i suppose so if you want check out will of the people on youtube the song that we published we've got a couple songs uh we've got a whole bunch of songs that are like nearly done and we might have maybe even 10 songs by august for a full album we'll see We might just do an EP, but that's coming out and we're gonna do a big ad thing.
01:53:53.000And Will of the People by TimCast showing people in masks pulling down statues is in Times Square right now.
01:53:59.000I gotta shout out Chicken City, one of the TimCast channels where the chickens hang out.
01:54:03.000I heard him singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm.
01:56:36.000We got Vetkan who says, I heard a story about the origin of Polish jokes.
01:56:40.000When they were forced to manufacture weapons for the Germans, they made them faulty on purpose but played it off so the Germans just thought they were dumb.
01:57:00.000I don't know if we're actually going to open a Tim fillet thing.
01:57:03.000You know, if you do make sure you fry the French fries in fresh oil and not the oil that's recycled from the chicken, because that can make some kind of flop.
01:57:09.000Well, you know, don't use any kind of vegetable or seed oils at all.
01:57:49.000Alright, NotMyRegret says, I see your take regarding monotheistic religions, just Christianity, and the belief in a singular God being our creator and determinator of the afterlife, but what is your view on religions like Buddhism, where there is a belief in the cycle of reincarnation and karma?
01:58:11.000There was a Buddhist theory that was told to me by my Buddhist professor in England that changed my life about all suffering coming from expectations that are not fulfilled.
01:58:21.000And in my book on happiness I have a whole chapter on not having expectations and I give Buddhism credit.
01:58:28.000However, obviously Buddhism doesn't have a transcendental God.
01:58:32.000A transcendent God, I think that's an issue.
01:58:35.000And they do make peace with suffering more than I think people should.
01:59:13.000A lot of people are better than their theologies, and a lot of people are worse than their theologies.
01:59:23.000In this case, I would say that Calvinists are better than their theologies.
01:59:27.000I've been thinking lately that it's both free will and determinism, depending on your state of mind.
01:59:31.000If you choose to live in a flow state, that you're functioning with free will, but if you just kind of fall into it, you just are along for the ride.
01:59:39.000Well, right now, the biggest underminer of free will is the left.
01:59:43.000Oh, this guy, he committed a crime because of racism and sexism or poverty.
01:59:52.000People are not responsible for the bad that they do, except for white, Christian, straight males.
02:03:27.000And if you haven't, Search for Will of the People by Timcast on YouTube and check out the song we did, because I know a lot of people haven't actually heard it.
02:03:34.000But it's actually a short film, and it's a political statement, so you might find it very interesting if you pay attention to it.
02:03:40.000We got more music on the way, and we're actually going to be producing a few music videos for the album release, which will be in mid to late August.
02:03:47.000Dennis, do you want to shout anything out?
02:05:20.000I just did a very interesting video on the billionaire fight between Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
02:05:26.000That perspective and what's really happening and population control, all of that is being discussed on YouTube.com forward slash WeAreChange.
02:05:32.000Hope to join you there for the conversation after this.
02:05:34.000I had a bit of a crisis while we were talking earlier about Jesus because the guy basically was a Jew and a devout Jew and spoke a lot about Judaism, but now the people that worship the guy aren't... Well, then, duh, you would be Jew.
02:05:48.000You would also be like him, like a Jew.
02:05:57.000I'm so fascinated to have Dennis Prager here this evening because I have been eyeballing his Rational Bible, and we've been going.
02:06:02.000We went to a Quaker meeting, we go to a Baptist church sometimes, we go to a Presbyterian church sometimes, and we've been bringing our co-workers with us.
02:06:37.000I'm going to do that then, right after we're done here.
02:06:39.000And I also asked Julie to come on the show with us, or told her to hit me up and see if we can get her involved, talking to us, your co-host.
02:06:47.000You can follow me there on Twitter and Minds.com, as well as SourPatchLids.me.
02:06:52.000We will see all of you over at timcast.com, but if you want to help us out and you're interested in the cultural stuff we're developing, check out youtube.com slash castcastle.
02:06:59.000The last two episodes, we're leaning heavily into the scripted production we're doing on the vlog.
02:07:06.000This was always the goal, to get to the point where we're basically trying to create like a comedy version of what we do here.
02:07:12.000And so we had Jamie Kilstein, who's hilarious, we had him on the show a couple times, And he's going to be helping with producing and writing sketches and doing jokes at the Cast Castle because we want to build culture.
02:07:22.000And also, again, Search for Will of the People by TimCast.
02:07:25.000It's a short film about four minutes long and a song that I wrote that is very, very politically minded.
02:07:30.000And you might enjoy it or you might not.
