Bill Barr says there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election. Does this mean there was no fraud at all? And what does it mean about the possibility that Bill Barr is working for the Deep State? Ben and Lydia discuss.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:00:36.000 Finally, Bill Barr has done something.
00:00:40.000 Trump supporters have been screaming, demanding the DOJ do something about all of this evidence of voter fraud that's been emerging, especially evidence like from the Voter Integrity Project, which shows, well, widespread voter fraud.
00:00:52.000 I wouldn't say it definitively proves it, but it certainly raises a bunch of really interesting questions.
00:00:56.000 Well, the good news for all of you who have been waiting for this, Bill Barr says, There's no evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election.
00:01:03.000 But wait, what does that really mean?
00:01:05.000 No evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election?
00:01:08.000 He basically said there's evidence of fraud.
00:01:11.000 You see, over time, it started with the media saying there's no evidence of fraud, no evidence of widespread fraud, then unproven claims of fraud, and now unproven conspiracies because over time we're getting more and more evidence.
00:01:24.000 It's actually coming from some fairly prominent people.
00:01:26.000 I'm not saying that means Donald Trump lost because of fraud.
00:01:30.000 In fact, if Bill Barr comes out and says he's reviewed this and doesn't see the evidence, maybe Bill Barr's just right.
00:01:36.000 Or maybe Bill Barr is secretly working for the deep state.
00:01:38.000 I don't know.
00:01:39.000 But we'll read the story and we'll figure out what's going on.
00:01:41.000 But we also have other news involving Bill Barr.
00:01:43.000 He appointed Durham to be special counsel, meaning he's not going anywhere.
00:01:47.000 We got a bunch of other stories we're going to talk about pertaining to, you know, we got Project Veritas, putting out this CNN audio.
00:01:52.000 It's really interesting.
00:01:53.000 We got the story about Elliot Page and the public transition announcing that he is now trans.
00:01:58.000 We'll talk about that stuff, too.
00:02:00.000 And of course, we got, you know, Ian Crosland.
00:02:01.000 Hello, everyone.
00:02:02.000 Hi, Ian.
00:02:03.000 Thank you, Tim.
00:02:03.000 Yes, of course, Lydia is producing.
00:02:05.000 I am over here in the corner.
00:02:07.000 And joining us today is Ben Dominich.
00:02:09.000 Yes.
00:02:10.000 Good to be with you.
00:02:10.000 I'm happy to be here.
00:02:12.000 Real quick, who are you?
00:02:14.000 I'm the publisher of The Federalist, and I write a daily newsletter called The Transom, which people can find, obviously, at thefederalist.com and thetransom.com.
00:02:24.000 And I host primarily our podcast, The Federalist Radio Hour, though I've been a little bit off lately because we had our first kid.
00:02:31.000 Yes!
00:02:32.000 Oh, wow.
00:02:32.000 Congratulations.
00:02:33.000 Thank you.
00:02:33.000 Cool.
00:02:33.000 Thank you.
00:02:34.000 Well then, how about we talk about some news?

00:02:39.000 We are live Monday to Friday at 8 p.m., and we're also on all podcast platforms, so subscribe if you want to catch the show later.
00:02:45.000 But the first story, check this out, from the AP.
00:02:48.000 Disputing Trump.
00:02:49.000 Barr says no widespread election fraud, but I'm not gonna waste words with their opinion.
00:02:55.000 I'll give you his exact quote.
00:02:57.000 Barr told the AP that U.S.
00:02:58.000 attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they've received, but, quote, to date, We have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.
00:03:11.000 The comments, which drew immediate criticism from Trump attorneys, were especially notable coming from Barr, who has been one of the president's most ardent allies.
00:03:19.000 Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voting could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic, as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.
00:03:30.000 More to Trump's liking, Barr revealed in an AP interview that in October he had appointed U.S.
00:03:34.000 Attorney John Durham as a special counsel, giving the prosecutor the authority to continue to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe after Biden takes over, and making it difficult to fire him.
00:03:45.000 Biden hasn't said what he might do with the investigation, but his transition team didn't
00:03:50.000 comment on Tuesday. So let's just start talking about what's going on with, you know,
00:03:54.000 Bill Barr's statements. I don't know if you've been following a lot of the voter fraud stuff, Ben.
00:03:57.000 I have, absolutely.
00:03:59.000 Well, first, let me just, then just, what are your thoughts on the whole thing?
00:04:01.000 Well, I think that the big problem here is that we have a system that really is not designed
00:04:06.000 to be able to quickly prove voter fraud on the scale that may have happened in this case.
00:04:14.000 The DOJ is really built to make cases, to investigate situations, to bring a case eventually to court.
00:04:20.000 That can take years.
00:04:21.000 And I think that the real problem is that we're discovering that in a situation like this one where they rushed all of these changes.
00:04:27.000 Many of which I think may turn out in the in eventually to be considered unconstitutional on the state level, as your guest Sean Parnell was bringing up.
00:04:34.000 Oh, yeah.
00:04:35.000 The other day, he's the plaintiff suing.
00:04:36.000 Yes, exactly.
00:04:38.000 Which I think is a very serious question.
00:04:39.000 The real problem is, what if the fraud is hiding in plain sight?
00:04:44.000 And I know that during the Russia hoax, you would always hear that from, you know, Adam Schiff and people like that.
00:04:49.000 Oh, you know, the collusion is higher.
00:04:50.000 It's hiding in plain sight.
00:04:52.000 You know, it's right there.
00:04:52.000 It's right in front of you.
00:04:54.000 What if instead the actual fraud is something as basic as Mark Zuckerberg spending hundreds of millions of dollars to have voter boxes put all over the United States in ways that may turn out to be targeted to specific areas in, you know, things that could turn out to be in-kind contributions to Democrats as opposed to non-profit.
00:05:13.000 Or Wisconsin, they were doing democracy in the park events.
00:05:16.000 Yes.
00:05:17.000 Bringing people out, telling them to vote, telling them who to vote for, things like that.
00:05:20.000 And it's it's a situation where, I mean, you know, our own reporter, John Davidson, who, you know, does a lot of this stuff on the ground for us, has been detailing the situations in Native American communities where you literally had illegal raffles and things like that going on to incentivize people to vote, which is stuff that, you know, it's just basic law, like you can't pay someone to vote or not vote.
00:05:41.000 You know, and and to me, all of that adds up to a situation where there really is rampant You know, fraud, weirdness, lots of questions.
00:05:52.000 But I don't think we have the capacity in the DOJ to turn something around that quickly in a way that would satisfy Americans.
00:05:59.000 And that to me is that's a big unanswered question.
00:06:02.000 That's it.
00:06:02.000 I completely agree.
00:06:03.000 And I mentioned this.
00:06:04.000 One of the biggest problems we have is what we get two weeks to do this full scale nationwide investigation of one hundred and fifty million votes.
00:06:12.000 That's impossible.
00:06:13.000 But we have more and more evidence stacking up now to clarify what Barr has said.
00:06:18.000 They're saying he's saying no evidence of widespread fraud.
00:06:20.000 In fact, I've titled this stream, No Evidence of Widespread Fraud.
00:06:23.000 What he said was, to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.
00:06:29.000 We could break that down.
00:06:30.000 It could mean several things.
00:06:31.000 He could be saying, as of right now, we have seen fraud.
00:06:35.000 We haven't seen enough.
00:06:36.000 Does it mean he's done investigating?
00:06:37.000 No it doesn't.
00:06:39.000 But of course the headline from every mainstream outlet is going to be,
00:06:41.000 no evidence of widespread fraud.
00:06:44.000 I default in that direction as well, but it's really hard to like,
00:06:47.000 cram a title in, you know, on YouTube.
00:06:49.000 So I have to do, I do what I can, I'm basing it off the article.
00:06:51.000 It could theoretically mean, we've seen fraud.
00:06:55.000 We haven't seen enough.
00:06:56.000 Yet.
00:06:57.000 He did say to date, right?
00:06:58.000 I'm thinking about James Clapper.
00:07:00.000 I just keep thinking about James Clapper testifying to Congress.
00:07:02.000 Lying?
00:07:03.000 Yeah.
00:07:03.000 We did not wittingly spy on the American people when they did wittingly spy.
00:07:07.000 And under oath, perjury to Congress.
00:07:11.000 No repercussions.
00:07:11.000 None.
00:07:12.000 So it makes me think they're all capable of lying.
00:07:15.000 Well, of course they are.
00:07:16.000 I mean, John Brennan is someone who didn't just spy on the American people.
00:07:20.000 He spied on Congress.
00:07:24.000 Just for people who don't know.
00:07:27.000 Bill Barr is the attorney general.
00:07:29.000 And then Clapper, he was a former CIA?
00:07:31.000 NSA.
00:07:32.000 Brennan is CIA.
00:07:35.000 Yes, OK, there we go.
00:07:36.000 Just want to make sure, but continue.
00:07:38.000 But the thing that I think we need to keep in mind here is effectively what Barr is saying is he can't answer that question.
00:07:44.000 He doesn't actually have the capability to find that in such a short amount of time.
00:07:49.000 At the same time, I think that he is really engaged here in a bit of setting expectations, which is we all know that this mail-in balloting thing was something that a lot of folks, mostly on the left, have been pushing for for a long time.
00:08:05.000 It's not going away.
00:08:06.000 They're going to keep it in the midterms.
00:08:08.000 They're going to try to keep it for the next presidential.
00:08:11.000 And to me, at a certain point, the attitude of people who want to see the Trump agenda furthered, who supported him this time around, who are furious at this result, has to be, we can't let this happen again.
00:08:23.000 Because otherwise it will.
00:08:24.000 And it's in the incentives of a lot of these politicians to make sure that it does, so that they don't have some reversal of fortune in the midterms, as they all expect they will.
00:08:32.000 So this is the most important thing coming out of all of this.
00:08:35.000 If maybe Trump doesn't win, right?
00:08:38.000 I know the Trump supporters are saying, we're going to win.
00:08:40.000 We got to fight.
00:08:41.000 Okay.
00:08:41.000 Look, I I've, I've been saying over and over again, that in my opinion, it was always extremely likely once they called it for Biden, it's going to be Biden, but Trump should keep fighting no matter what, because we have seen historic anomalies, this like the Georgia where they found all these votes.
00:08:54.000 And there's a possibility Trump could figure out a legal path to victory through legal challenges and through the electoral college.
00:08:59.000 But.
00:09:00.000 Outside of all of that, let's say the worst case scenario for the Trump supporters is that it's done.
00:09:05.000 Trump loses, Joe Biden's president.
00:09:07.000 This fight that Trump has led will push us towards more secure voting, at the very least.
00:09:13.000 And it could also mean no mail-in voting.
00:09:15.000 The fight coming from people like Mike Kelly, I think Mike Kelly's the name, and Sean Parnell could result in more secure elections, no universal mail-in voting.
00:09:23.000 And I hear from all these leftists and Democrats saying, but universal mail-in voting is so easy and so popular, even Republicans love it.
00:09:28.000 And I'm like, yes, it is easy.
00:09:29.000 I completely agree.
00:09:30.000 And easy doesn't mean secure.
00:09:32.000 In fact, the more you remove security, the easier things get, but then the more likely you're going to see fraud or impropriety.
00:09:40.000 And we want secure elections.
00:09:41.000 We want to be able to audit them properly.
00:09:43.000 We want observers.
00:09:44.000 I think at the very end of this, the worst case scenario is we're going to have grounds based on the things they find or have already found.
00:09:52.000 To say no to a lot of this no-excuse mail-in voting and demand more secure elections and things like voter ID, for instance.
00:09:58.000 I think that that is a hopeful image and I hope that that is something that comes forward because I'm concerned about the trust level that's going to exist among the American people.
00:10:07.000 We've seen the total degradation of faith in every institution of American life.
00:10:12.000 Basically, people trust the military and small business and that's it, if you look at all the polls.
00:10:17.000 And so at the end of the day, this is going to be one more aspect that people will have a lack of trust for, given the closeness of proximity of the Electoral College and the fact that we're probably going to see something like this play out again in two years or four years and without major changes.
00:10:35.000 You know, what's really crazy about the whole thing, though, is that if so, the Pennsylvania state legislature said we don't have enough time to pass a joint resolution calling the election a dispute.
00:10:44.000 They could have.
00:10:46.000 That's freaky to me that we could have a whole federal election.
00:10:48.000 Let's look at it this way.
00:10:50.000 Let's say 2024.
00:10:51.000 I can't imagine Joe Biden running for re-election.
00:10:54.000 I just, I don't see it.
00:10:55.000 So maybe it's, you know, Kamala Harris now.
00:10:57.000 She's going to run for president, you know, going from vice president to president or whatever.
00:11:00.000 I'm saying hypothetically.
00:11:01.000 She's running against, I don't know, who do you, who do you think would run in 2024 for the Republican?
00:11:05.000 A lot of people will, but let's just say for the argument, just because he's known and a known commodity.
00:11:10.000 Kanye West.
00:11:10.000 Ted Cruz.
00:11:12.000 Let's just say Ted Cruz because he came in second effectively last time.
00:11:14.000 All right.
00:11:14.000 So we got Ted Cruz, Kamala Harris, comes down to the Electoral College.
00:11:18.000 Ted Cruz is up.
00:11:19.000 He's projected to win.
00:11:20.000 And then a swing state with a Democratic legislature says, we're going to appoint our electors.
00:11:26.000 We're going to dispute it.
00:11:27.000 Pulling his votes away or something like that.
00:11:29.000 That could happen now.
00:11:30.000 And that, to me, is kind of nuts that Trump needed three states.
00:11:34.000 He needs three states.
00:11:35.000 It can still happen to effectively challenge the result of the election.
00:11:40.000 It might actually happen.
00:11:42.000 I mean, we just had this hearing in, what was it, Michigan today.
00:11:45.000 Where this is the first time, I think, of these hearings they've done.
00:11:48.000 It was actually in a state house.
00:11:49.000 It was actually in an official building.
00:11:51.000 They were doing these hotels before, right?
00:11:53.000 So they had the first evidentiary hearing with the Republican state legislature in Pennsylvania, I think it was, right?
00:11:59.000 In Gettysburg, right?
00:12:01.000 And when I questioned why they're doing it in a hotel, a ton of people were saying, oh, it's Gettysburg.
00:12:05.000 It's the second, you know, Gettysburg address or whatever.
00:12:07.000 And I'm just like, I don't know.
00:12:08.000 I kind of feel like they're just, you know, placating people.
00:12:11.000 You know, like, oh yeah, we're going to do a hearing.
00:12:12.000 It's going to be a hotel.
00:12:13.000 When they did it in Arizona to Hyatt, I said, that makes no sense.
00:12:16.000 Okay.
00:12:16.000 There's no, there's no the Hyatt speech.
00:12:18.000 There's no, you know, the Phoenix address or whatever, but now they're in Michigan.
00:12:21.000 They actually had a legit hearing and there was some, I mean, it's, it's the stories that are coming out of this stuff are insane.
00:12:27.000 People saying they're being harassed, chased out.
00:12:28.000 They're not allowed to observe at all in all these places.
00:12:31.000 Weird stories about trucks pulling up in the middle of the night, you know, pulling out boxes of ballots and things like that, claiming we're not counting, but then they add vote counts later on clearly something weird is going on.
00:12:40.000 And that's, that's not even the half of it.
00:12:43.000 And what I really want to say to everybody who has been arguing with their friends about fraud in this election, where people might be citing CNN to them saying, oh, there is no fraud.
00:12:55.000 There's fraud in every American election.
00:12:56.000 It always happens.
00:12:57.000 And it's typically on a low level and very pedestrian in nature.
00:13:02.000 It's literally a box that appears or disappears.
00:13:05.000 You know, it's something that it doesn't take a convoluted machine to make it work.
00:13:09.000 I mean, the machine that ran In New Orleans all the way up until Katrina was totally like that.
00:13:15.000 It was organic.
00:13:16.000 Everyone knew what they had to do.
00:13:18.000 It didn't require any kind of coordination or meetings.
00:13:21.000 Katrina smashes that whole population.
00:13:24.000 It spreads out and suddenly Republicans start winning elections.
00:13:26.000 And that's something that I think speaks to the organic, built into the society nature
00:13:31.000 of these things of a place like Philly.
00:13:34.000 And again, I still think this is a situation where this was effectively lost for Donald
00:13:40.000 Trump when Republican lawyers didn't get their act together ahead of time, months ago, and
00:13:46.000 start fighting and disputing these things more effectively within these different systems.
00:13:50.000 They were getting shut down by the courts, but they needed to put more effort into it because I think that the the moment that those rules were locked in they were facing a circumstance where if he lost the state it would be almost impossible to prove enough.
00:14:03.000 Right.
00:14:03.000 You know what I've been saying?
00:14:04.000 I said Trump got oceans elevened.
00:14:06.000 The real heist happened months ago.
00:14:08.000 In October of 2019, in Pennsylvania, the Republicans passed Act 77, which other Republicans are now suing, calling it unconstitutional.
00:14:17.000 Why did they pass no-excuse mail-in voting before COVID happened?
00:14:21.000 They knew mail-in voting was always their path to to essentially cheating the election.
00:14:27.000 And the reason I say cheating is that changing the rules the 11th hour to benefit one side because you know it's what you need is, it's cheating.
00:14:35.000 So they say COVID is the excuse.
00:14:38.000 When I talk about people say, well, people were scared of COVID, they needed an option.
00:14:41.000 No, no, no, because they were already passing these bills, you know, in other places.
00:14:44.000 And then when you talk about the anomalies, for instance, they say, and I'm kind of sidetracking here, they say the anomalies are easily explained because the Republicans stopped them from counting ballots until election night, which was not true for some states.
00:14:58.000 There's just those weird anomalous spikes.
00:14:59.000 But anyway, going back to the oceans, getting oceans elevened, they pass all of these rule changes Where I had been making video after video saying, this is how they're going to cheat.
00:15:12.000 Republicans are going to show up on election day like they normally do, and they're going to follow the rules.
00:15:17.000 And Democrats have every opportunity now to hold democracy in the park events, to do, you know what, raffles.
00:15:23.000 You were mentioning illegal raffles.
00:15:24.000 There's accusations of ballot harvesting now.
00:15:27.000 We've got Minnesota and in, what was the other one?
00:15:29.000 Texas?
00:15:30.000 The Veritas one?
00:15:31.000 Yeah, I believe.
00:15:32.000 I haven't been able to follow.
00:15:33.000 Veritas has been putting out so many things that I'm a little behind my Veritas consumption, I have to admit.
00:15:38.000 But congrats to them.
00:15:39.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:15:39.000 So that we have, you know, these videos showing people are doing ballot harvesting.
00:15:43.000 We had on Jeremy from The Quartering, and he said that at his house, Like Democrats showed up and were like, have you voted?
00:15:50.000 Do you have your absentee ballots?
00:15:51.000 And they received them, but he never requested one.
00:15:54.000 So there's a lot of weird things there, but there's, I think, I think one of the simple things is maybe this is fraud.
00:16:00.000 Maybe they were requesting ballots for people and then showing up and telling them to vote.
00:16:03.000 Or maybe they gave themselves a month plus to go, to go around telling people, did you vote yet?
00:16:09.000 Did you vote?
00:16:10.000 Why don't you vote?
00:16:11.000 Did you vote?
00:16:12.000 We saw in one of the videos from Veritas, a woman saying, she was like, Hey, come out and have free drinks with me.
00:16:16.000 Did you vote?
00:16:17.000 And so they're like, okay, fine.
00:16:18.000 They fill it out.
00:16:19.000 There you go.
00:16:20.000 Here, take my vote.
00:16:20.000 Now give me the beer.
00:16:21.000 Yeah.
00:16:21.000 That kind of ballot harvesting.
00:16:23.000 That was the trick because guess what?
00:16:24.000 That's a real vote.
00:16:25.000 Yes.
00:16:26.000 Now there is freaky stuff like Matt Brainerd for the Voter Integrity Project says, here's 20 plus thousand people who changed their addresses and then voted twice.
00:16:34.000 That's like, okay, we kind of got evidence of widespread fraud going on.
00:16:38.000 Maybe, maybe it wasn't enough to change the results or maybe, you know, Bill Barr looked at it and then said, uh, this is not legit.
00:16:45.000 I don't know.
00:16:45.000 Yeah, I think that that's impossible to know, and I think we'll be poring over this for a long time, but I do think that we're now in territory where one side definitely thinks that they got jobbed, and the other side definitely thinks that they won, but they have this sour taste in their mouth because of how unwilling the other side is to accept it and because of the performance of Republicans generally.
00:17:05.000 So that sets up a very strife-filled political scenario where Joe Biden is absolutely not going to unify anybody.
00:17:12.000 No, it's going to be... Joe Biden is the worst possible thing to have happened to this country, especially right now.
00:17:18.000 But I'll tell you, first and foremost, I'm sorry if I can't believe Joe Biden won fair and square.
00:17:22.000 You know why?
00:17:24.000 Trump wins.
00:17:25.000 The Republicans win down ballot.
00:17:27.000 They reclaim many House seats.
00:17:29.000 They lost none.
00:17:30.000 They gained many.
00:17:31.000 They didn't take the majority.
00:17:32.000 They defended the Senate.
00:17:33.000 They won every state race.
00:17:37.000 So it looked like Trump was on the ticket.
00:17:40.000 Then Joe Biden, who didn't campaign.
00:17:42.000 I mean, he literally campaigned, but you know what I mean, like, come on.
00:17:45.000 He's in the basement at the time, he's calling lids every day.
00:17:47.000 He was not having big events or any rallies.
00:17:50.000 Somehow beat Barack Obama's 2008 ground-shattering, you know, 69 million votes.
00:17:57.000 Joe Biden didn't campaign and beat Trump.
00:18:00.000 The argument I hear is people hate Trump that much, that they voted against him.
00:18:04.000 I don't I don't think so.
00:18:06.000 Biden also, I mean, they also outspent him and out manipulated him in ways that we can't leave out of this.
00:18:14.000 The in-kind donation from big tech.
00:18:16.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:18:17.000 Absolutely.
00:18:18.000 I mean, I don't even know how you could estimate it.
00:18:20.000 Yeah.
00:18:21.000 The amount of money that they spent, obviously they spent almost twice as much money just from the campaign
00:18:25.000 organizations, etc.
00:18:26.000 Yeah.
00:18:26.000 And so I think this is a situation where money did talk this time around and also that the the warping influence
00:18:34.000 that we've had on narrative from an entire corporate Democrat media establishment designed to take down Trump
00:18:42.000 focused on, you know, telling the entire country that he's this racist, horrible person who has to be destroyed for
00:18:49.000 the sake of humanity.
00:18:50.000 for year upon year upon year.
00:18:54.000 And they end up with a situation where, you know, he wins more votes than Barack Obama actually did.
00:18:59.000 And, you know, wins, you know, more votes than, you know, any Republican.
00:19:03.000 And it's it's this.
00:19:04.000 I know.
00:19:04.000 I mean, it's kind of amazing.
00:19:06.000 I know too many Democrats who switched parties.
00:19:09.000 You know, coming out of Chicago, there are people I've known my whole life who have always been Democrat kind of passively, now hardcore Trump supporters.
00:19:16.000 And so I see things like that.
00:19:18.000 That's obviously anecdotal.
00:19:19.000 Doesn't mean, you know, that's my personal friend and family bubble.
00:19:22.000 But I look at the New York Times reporting.
00:19:25.000 I look at Moody's analytics, all of these things and indicating a Trump victory, nothing indicating a Trump defeat, albeit when COVID hit, it shifted a lot of the economic forecasts.
00:19:34.000 But it's still crazy to see all the polls were wrong off by like seven percent, four to seven percent.
00:19:39.000 No, no.
00:19:39.000 I want to stop you there because I think we keep saying the polls were wrong.
00:19:45.000 The pollsters lied.
00:19:45.000 Some polls were wrong.
00:19:47.000 Some polls were propaganda.
00:19:49.000 Right, right, right.
00:19:50.000 Okay, we have to keep in mind, media polls are frequently, they are propaganda, or they are intended to be the basis for a story, a narrative.
00:19:59.000 And you can't think about them the same.
00:20:01.000 The reason that the actual poll people are upset, or are concerned about the future of their industry, is that the behind-the-scenes polls were also wrong.
00:20:11.000 Right.
00:20:12.000 Like the ones that are given to corporate and lobbying clients, et cetera.
00:20:16.000 I mean, I had all of these people coming to me saying, there is no chance Susan Collins is going to win.
00:20:21.000 You've got to stop saying that.
00:20:23.000 I just kept saying, you know what?
00:20:25.000 I think she knows how to win Maine.
00:20:27.000 And they're saying, look, we got our internals.
00:20:30.000 She's not going to be on this committee anymore.
00:20:32.000 We're talking to the other side, that kind of thing.
00:20:35.000 And then, of course, she wins easily.
00:20:37.000 So it is, it is a fact that polls are propaganda.
00:20:39.000 And I know immediately there's going to be mainstream journalists, there's going to be leftists being like, ah, conspiracy theories.
00:20:44.000 No, no, no, hold on.
00:20:46.000 There, there are many polls that are legit.
00:20:47.000 There are many polls that are overt propaganda and they function as such.
00:20:50.000 Ian, let me ask you a question.
00:20:52.000 Okay.
00:20:52.000 Would you be in favor of taking some tax money and invest and using that to invest in new technologies that could improve American energy independence?
00:21:01.000 Wow, that's a vague question, Tim.
00:21:03.000 I thought that was very specific!
00:21:05.000 Would you be in favor of allocating some of the US- How much is some, first off?
00:21:09.000 It's just your opinion.
00:21:10.000 Some.
00:21:10.000 It could be anything.
00:21:11.000 I'm just asking if you think- I'm not gonna drag you here.
00:21:14.000 Yeah, I would.
00:21:14.000 It sounds great, doesn't it?
00:21:15.000 Sounds awesome.
00:21:16.000 Okay, let me mark you down for favors green new deal.
00:21:18.000 Okay.
00:21:18.000 Now let me ask you a question.
00:21:19.000 Would you be in favor of a policy that dramatically overhauls the entire medical industry and bans private insurance?
00:21:26.000 No opposes Green New Deal.
00:21:28.000 Yes, you see it.
00:21:29.000 You can ask questions and what they'll do then is they'll say
00:21:32.000 they'll show a thing saying support.
00:21:34.000 It'll say Green New Deal support oppose and they won't tell you what they're asking.
00:21:37.000 Those are the propaganda polls.
00:21:39.000 There are polls that will show you the methodology.
00:21:41.000 They'll show the questions they ask and that's you have to do
00:21:43.000 when you go in and try and figure out what they're really talking about.
00:21:45.000 Well, the biggest thing that has been plaguing the polling industry and I don't want to get so off tangent on bar, but
00:21:50.000 so someone who you should actually have on the program Emily Eakins, who's the head of polling at the Cato
00:21:57.000 Institute and free bit previously at the Reason Foundation has done
00:22:02.000 phenomenal research over the past several years about the difficulty.
00:22:05.000 She was the one who was the source of that poll that so many people cite about the unwillingness of people to share their true views.
00:22:11.000 Right.
00:22:12.000 and kind of seeking out the shy Trump voter or the shy conservative voter in lots of different respects.
00:22:19.000 And it's very difficult to do it.
00:22:21.000 You almost have to, one of the polls, not from something she commissioned,
00:22:24.000 but one that I saw from this cycle behind the scenes, had this hilarious question in it.
00:22:31.000 I think I can share it now that it's well in the past, but it was, do you know someone
00:22:36.000 who you believe supports President Trump, but would be unwilling to say that publicly
00:22:42.000 fear of the reaction.
00:22:43.000 Okay.
00:22:43.000 And so they have this percentage that's like, this is how many, it's a huge number, you know, say, and then the follow-up question to those who said yes is, does that previous question describe you?
00:22:53.000 And a lot of them say yes, like a huge portion of them say yes because they've been prepped for it.
00:22:58.000 Right.
00:22:58.000 Because otherwise it's like some strange person calls me and they ask me whether I support this guy everybody says is racist.
00:23:02.000 I'm not going to say yes.
00:23:03.000 But also because the way the question is framed, it could have repercussions on them.
00:23:07.000 Yes.
00:23:08.000 So it's basically, it sounds like they're coming at you as someone who's sympathetic to that, you know, having an impact on you.
00:23:14.000 But yeah, you know what I was saying?
00:23:16.000 I love it.
00:23:17.000 They put out this clip of me saying 49th State Landslide over and over again because I was, for one, saying, here's the hypotheticals.
00:23:25.000 Like, for instance, there's a lot of videos where I would say something like, look, if Trump pardoned all nonviolent drug offenders and issued an executive order legalizing pot at the federal level, 49th State Landslide.
00:23:35.000 And so I'm not literally predicting this, I'm saying if Trump does something crazy, this is what happens.
00:23:40.000 Which is the one state he would lose in that scenario.
00:23:42.000 What's the one state?
00:23:42.000 Yeah, he would lose in that scenario.
00:23:45.000 Oregon?
00:23:45.000 Yeah, the most conservative state.
00:23:47.000 We didn't need him anyway.
00:23:51.000 But the point to it was basically there's hypotheticals.
00:23:54.000 I kind of lost my train of thought on why I was bringing that up.
00:23:57.000 But back to polls, I guess, was the general.
00:24:03.000 You know, stay too long on polls, but because I know there's so many other news things to talk about.
00:24:07.000 But the one thing that I do want people to keep in mind is they were broken last time around.
00:24:12.000 Oh, the vast majority did not fix it.
00:24:16.000 And the handful of places that got it right last time around and worked to fix it, OK, including Trafalgar and other places like that, just got bashed over and over by both pollsters and like the poll bros, the people who just analyze polls for a living, who write for a lot of these media sites.
00:24:32.000 And at the end of the day, they ended up being a ton more accurate, even as they were being criticized over and over again.
00:24:39.000 And one of the big aspects of this that I think kept getting cited by these poll bros was, well, you're not looking at the granular, you know, precinct-level data the way that we are.
00:24:49.000 Like, we have the true cross, you know, here, and you don't really know what is in it.
00:24:54.000 And that was where they had some of the biggest misses.
00:24:58.000 It's why they got so many of these House races wrong.
00:25:00.000 The Cook report, for instance, not to single them out because so many people were wrong, but Dave Wasserman there literally had a tweet up where he said, I wish that I could erase everything that I've written in 2020 about the outcome in the House and revert to what I said in December 2019 or whatever, when I said Republicans would pick up five.
00:25:18.000 So I now remember my train of thought.
00:25:20.000 It was that the one thing I predicted pretty much spot on as many did was the polls would be wrong.
00:25:25.000 And one of the reasons I gave is you have all these people who lie about you all the time.
00:25:28.000 They accuse you of being a bigot and a racist and all of these things.
00:25:31.000 The media is constantly full of falsehoods.
00:25:33.000 And then when you get a phone call, you know, hi, I'm with, you know, ABC, Washington Post poll.
00:25:38.000 Do you support Donald Trump?
00:25:40.000 No, not me.
00:25:42.000 Biden all the way.
00:25:43.000 I never let any of them over for Thanksgiving.
00:25:46.000 I mean, I guess I can't have any of them over anyway.
00:25:49.000 You see how the media treated that guy.
00:25:51.000 You know, I remember that guy who posted the video of Nancy Pelosi slowed down and they were like, they chose his picture, his name, where he works.
00:25:58.000 You had the guy who made the meme of Trump body slamming the CNN guy.
00:26:02.000 And they're like, we will publish his name if he ever does this again.
00:26:06.000 So when the media calls you and says, hi friend, do you support Donald Trump?
00:26:11.000 We're the media, you can trust us.
00:26:13.000 And keep in mind, did you see any of the most recent tech hearing?
00:26:18.000 The Hawley-Zuckerberg interaction?
00:26:19.000 A little bit, it's just circled.
00:26:21.000 So the most interesting, there were two interesting things from that interaction.
00:26:25.000 One was Zuckerberg saying that he didn't know whether they tracked every time an employee had looked at What?
00:26:30.000 someone's Facebook messages.
00:26:32.000 So he said that.
00:26:34.000 And secondly, the admission that they actually have a program that Zuckerberg sort of initially said
00:26:43.000 he didn't recognize the name, but then it became clear that he kind of knew what Holly was talking about,
00:26:48.000 that they have their own internal program that is designed to share information across big tech
00:26:53.000 about the activities of people on other platforms in order to inform their way that Facebook treats them.
00:27:00.000 In other words, tracking someone's YouTube comments and then using them.
00:27:05.000 In other words, you think you're working separately and that you're communicating separately, but if everything is just going into a dump of, this person needs to be downgraded, silenced.
00:27:16.000 I mean, that's... That reminds me of what happened to Sargon, where he said some naughty word on some platform and they took him off.
00:27:25.000 I'm familiar with this, but yes, what was remind me he did from patreon. Yes
00:27:31.000 So for those that are familiar patreon is like a you know People can sign up to give you a certain amount of money
00:27:35.000 and then you release content over a certain period of time Sargon aka
00:27:38.000 Carl Benjamin, he's a YouTuber, he has a podcast, a new one called The Lotus Eaters, shoutout.
00:27:43.000 Shouted him out before.
00:27:45.000 He did a livestream with a very, very tiny livestream, only a few thousand people, and he called them white... I think he called them something like white n-word or whatever.
00:27:56.000 And he was making a point that the things you do to describe other people is how you actually are, so you're describing yourself.
00:28:03.000 It was an obscure two-hour stream right in the middle where he said this, and Patreon found it.
00:28:09.000 Apparently someone submitted it to Patreon and said, look at this, and then went, okay, nuked his account.
00:28:14.000 All of his income, well, not all of his, but his income from Patreon just gone.
00:28:18.000 So they said, yes, we take offline behavior into account, how you act on other platforms.
00:28:24.000 Which was really... I think people don't understand that that's where we're headed.
00:28:28.000 Oh yeah.
00:28:28.000 Like that is absolutely where we are headed and it's not going to be... People always try to scare you about some situation where government does these things.
00:28:36.000 It's not that.
00:28:37.000 It's not going to be that.
00:28:38.000 It's corporate America.
00:28:39.000 It's the people who... You sound like a liberal leftist.
00:28:41.000 Well, it seems... How they used to sound.
00:28:43.000 Well, how they used to sound, exactly.
00:28:44.000 Look, this is a very real thing that is a transition that is happening and that the I would say more the Kamala Harris wing of the Democratic
00:28:52.000 Party wants, which is to say we are going to use corporate America to weaponize or to
00:28:58.000 administrate our woke program, even as we put it out through taxpayer funds in the public
00:29:04.000 schools, et cetera.
00:29:06.000 But corporate America doesn't want to fight this stuff.
00:29:08.000 They're happy as long as they make money.
00:29:10.000 And so they're happy with an America-last foreign policy where China is just this wonderful
00:29:17.000 trading partner and taking away all of these American jobs and making all sorts of cheap
00:29:20.000 crap that we can sell to people here in America.
00:29:24.000 And everybody should be happy.
00:29:26.000 All the big tech companies, they've been profiting so much from this past year.
00:29:29.000 They're only going to continue.
00:29:31.000 And meanwhile, small business America gets absolutely crushed.
00:29:33.000 CNBC reporting this week that their optimism has only gone down since Biden was elected.
00:29:40.000 And that, I think, is going to continue to be the dynamic here.
00:29:43.000 And you have these major corporations that are going to come in effectively Crush you through a thousand sort of little things that you can't use anymore You can't be on this platform.
00:29:54.000 You can't do and then and then it becomes you can't be a part of our, you know Hotel rewards program, you know, you can't fly on our airline.
00:30:01.000 Oh, yeah No, you look at it and repeats are you there's so much power to cut you off.
00:30:07.000 Yeah, pleatly your waters cut off I mean they can do Garcetti.
00:30:11.000 Yeah Garcetti and I said he was gonna cut your water off if you had people over and Somehow they didn't do that when Hunter Biden went to that house and partied with Beth Leaves.
00:30:20.000 We have a First Amendment right to peaceably assemble.
00:30:23.000 The Constitution doesn't say for what.
00:30:24.000 If I want to peaceably assemble to discuss episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, so be it.
00:30:29.000 So if I have a party and I'm in L.A., the Constitution guarantees me that right.
00:30:32.000 It says I'm going to shut your water off.
00:30:34.000 That is a human rights violation.
00:30:37.000 I mean, I can't even imagine what that would do to someone who had health needs.
00:30:42.000 Turning off their power when they're diabetic?
00:30:44.000 No more refrigerator, no more insulin?
00:30:46.000 This is how absolutely insane things are getting.
00:30:49.000 People don't realize about this kind of dystopian nightmare.
00:30:54.000 You've got all these people that are effectively in the Matrix going along with all of this, and that's freaky.
00:31:01.000 So you think we're going social credit score in conjunction with your water and your electricity?
00:31:06.000 Joe Biden, as part of his pact with Bernie Sanders, has a plan for a public credit scoring agency based off of your privilege criteria, something like that.
00:31:15.000 What does that mean?
00:31:15.000 It means that if you're a straight white male, you get a negative score.
00:31:18.000 Are you kidding me?
00:31:19.000 No, I'm not kidding you.
00:31:20.000 So this was written about, there's an organization that works with, I forget what it's called, it's a credit, you know, like they write reports on different credit agencies and it's like an internal corporate thing.
00:31:31.000 I did a segment on this.
00:31:32.000 They said, we don't know how Biden would even implement this because it's a violation of the law.
00:31:37.000 Violation of civil rights law to create a public scoring agency that gives you credit based on your like, you know Privilege criteria or something like that.
00:31:44.000 So this but they've talked about it.
00:31:46.000 This kind of reminds me of but so when you when you when you see something like that and Then you look at what they tried in California with with prop 16 repeal or was it?
00:31:55.000 Yeah prop repeal prop 209 which was their civil rights provision in the Constitution it failed and It starts in California.
00:32:02.000 It comes to the rest of the country.
00:32:03.000 If the critical race theorists have their way, they will absolutely repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
00:32:09.000 So they want to put, like, a Star of David on my chest because I'm a white guy?
00:32:12.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:13.000 It's a little piece of flair.
00:32:14.000 No, no, no.
00:32:15.000 They just want to give me a little red insignia on my chest for being a white male, right?
00:32:17.000 Is that where we're going?
00:32:18.000 No, you're going to go to a bank, and you're going to say, I'd like to buy a house, and they're going to say, well, your public credit score is 470 because you're a straight white male.
00:32:25.000 We reserve most of our loans for ethnic minorities.
00:32:27.000 I'm sorry.
00:32:27.000 You're not welcome.
00:32:28.000 Look, I mean, Ibram X. Kendi, you know, the whole passage in his book is about how, you know, capitalism is racism and racism is capitalism.
00:32:36.000 And those things are like totally united together.
00:32:38.000 And so to me, this is a this is a situation where this new administration wants to buy off the woke progressives with these various aspects of policy, even as they refuse to do anything that people who actually care about class divides in America and about the economy that's moved, you know, really up into the last couple of years in a really negative direction in this sense, not addressing any of those things, just pretending that it doesn't exist and trying to satisfy it with diversity quotas and the like.
00:33:11.000 Let's, uh, let's, let's, how about we go for the dangerous conversation, the one that's gonna get us banned.
00:33:15.000 Yes, let's do it.
00:33:15.000 Try and be as careful as possible.
00:33:17.000 Drugs.
00:33:18.000 Juno star Elliot Page announces he is transgender.
00:33:23.000 So this is something that came out earlier.
00:33:25.000 Look, I'm fairly libertarian, so if somebody, you know, is trans or whatever and they want to be called whatever, I have absolutely no problem and more power to them.
00:33:32.000 They can live their life, be happy, and do all that stuff.
00:33:34.000 But, uh, when you're talking about, you know, the Democrats and going after this woke, you know, giving them the woke things they want, talking about social media censorship and stuff like this, we're in dangerous territory talking about these issues.
00:33:46.000 I'll just, I'll come right out and say it.
00:33:49.000 There was a website dedicated to stories about detransitioning from people who came out as trans, got, you know, it's, look, it's all part of the woke, you know, critical gender theory stuff.
00:34:01.000 And there are people telling their stories saying they were pressured into it, pressured into life-altering surgeries or taking medications.
00:34:07.000 And all of these posts get banned from Reddit.
00:34:10.000 These forums where people are talking about are banned from Reddit.
00:34:13.000 Conversations like the one we're having now, like I said, is dangerous because they could ban me for it.
00:34:16.000 And that's crazy because if the internet only allows, if these big tech companies only allow conversation that's, it's good, it's good, it's always good no matter what.
00:34:24.000 Then all anyone will ever hear is how good it is, and they won't hear that, look, in life sometimes things aren't good.
00:34:30.000 And I'm not saying what, you know, Elliot Page is doing is good or bad, I'm just saying you need to have a balanced and healthy view analyzing all of these, you know, different subjects and what people are saying in one way or another.
00:34:41.000 But when we start to have the mass censorship on social media, conversations that can't happen, can't talk about COVID in a certain way, they'll ban you in two seconds.
00:34:51.000 Can't talk about masks, can't report on studies about masks, they'll ban you.
00:34:54.000 Then what ends up happening is you develop a society that has a skewed and warped view on many different subjects.
00:35:00.000 So now we're ending up with, and I'm not trying to direct any, you know, eye or anything towards Elliot Page.
00:35:07.000 For those that aren't familiar, I might get banned for this because it's called deadnaming, but Elliot Page, formerly Ellen Page.
00:35:14.000 No joke.
00:35:14.000 It's like that difficult to talk about this stuff without, because YouTube will come down and they'll nuke you immediately.
00:35:21.000 So I had a personal interaction, actually multiple personal interactions with with Mr. Page on several occasions because we were for a while neighbors.
00:35:34.000 Really?
00:35:35.000 Yeah, lived very close to each other.
00:35:38.000 And at times, in fact, I think twice, I conversed with and bought drinks for Mr. Page without even knowing it.
00:35:48.000 So I think that now I should be at least earn allyship for that, because I had no idea how progressive I was being in the moment.
00:35:56.000 But in retrospect, I was being very, very friendly.
00:36:00.000 Yeah.
00:36:00.000 We actually talked about Mike Pence at the time.
00:36:03.000 Yes.
00:36:04.000 But wonderful, wonderful actor.
00:36:08.000 And I'm sure that, you know, there are a lot of trans roles now that, you know, people say trans people should be the only people who are allowed to play them.
00:36:16.000 Obviously, that's something that Scarlett Johansson ran into a couple of years ago and had to drop a role and cancel the entire movie.
00:36:22.000 Yeah, so definitely gonna be I think some productive opportunities for Mr. Page.
00:36:28.000 I think Elliot is an amazing human, um, regardless of sex or gender or whatever.
00:36:33.000 And I think that it's important that we can talk about sex and gender and like he and she and him and them and they and all that crap.
00:36:40.000 Like it, you know, like normal, like we have to talk about that.
00:36:45.000 You have to have, you have to be able to have conversations about this stuff.
00:36:47.000 Yeah.
00:36:48.000 Well, but that's impossible in a situation where government comes in or corporate America comes in and basically says, you have to be walking on eggshells because you might use the wrong pronoun.
00:37:00.000 And especially when you have this fiction, this idea that the internet has embraced, that suddenly as soon as someone makes that change in their life.
00:37:09.000 There is a refusal of any kind of admission that this change happened.
00:37:14.000 And to me, it's not like I don't know, I just think that this is a situation where you have to be able to talk about it openly without fear of repercussions, as you see in places like Canada.
00:37:23.000 Well, so there's a big part of the story, which we're what we I think we can get.
00:37:28.000 Yes, we have is that in the UK, there's a ruling that effect that essentially says under 16s can't get puberty blockers.
00:37:34.000 So You need to have these conversations because it's not... I think leftists don't realize this.
00:37:41.000 Maybe because they're too young.
00:37:42.000 But think about pot legalization, which is happening across the country.
00:37:46.000 The only reason it's happening is because people were smoking it illegally.
00:37:50.000 And they knew they liked it.
00:37:51.000 And the conversation started happening around legalizing it, which means a bunch of criminals were getting together, committing crimes, and decided, hey, it shouldn't be a crime anymore.
00:37:57.000 And then a bunch of states were like, that's actually a good point.
00:38:00.000 It shouldn't be.
00:38:01.000 If everybody said, you can't do it, you'll go to jail, you'll be banned, your life will be ruined, we would never have it.
00:38:07.000 So that means you have to have calm, rational, reasonable conversations, but I'll bring up a couple points that I think are a serious problem for us in society based on the things we're seeing with Elliot Page.
00:38:17.000 And again, not directing any derision at Elliot specifically, but Wikipedia for instance.
00:38:24.000 is widely used, one of the most popular sites in the world, has very serious problems.
00:38:28.000 Notably, you can't use Twitter or social media of an individual as a source.
00:38:32.000 Yet, in every circumstance where an individual comes out as trans, the moment they tweet, the Wikipedia editors all change everything as though that's a legitimate source.
00:38:40.000 What if you were hacked, and someone tweeted something, and they change your Wikipedia because of this?
00:38:44.000 It also creates a very strange circumstance.
00:38:46.000 Somebody tweeted something where it said, in reference to Elliot Page, in 2008, he was named the 93rd sexiest woman alive.
00:38:56.000 So it's... And I'm not saying... Again, I'm trying to be careful.
00:38:59.000 I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful.
00:39:01.000 It creates very confusing circumstances that people outside of the Woke Bubbles will have no idea what's going on or what this means.
00:39:06.000 So when you talk about... Well, real quick.
00:39:08.000 The reason I bring that up is that If you go to somebody who's maybe like, you know, not super active on the internet, which is most people, and you read them that line, they would assume it was a gag.
00:39:19.000 They would be like, oh, like Borat or something, right?
00:39:21.000 Like if Borat won an award for being a sexy woman.
00:39:23.000 They wouldn't realize that, you know, Elliot was previously Ellen, that there's, you know, there's an issue here.
00:39:27.000 These things haven't been worked through.
00:39:29.000 Our society hasn't had a...
00:39:31.000 I'll put it this way.
00:39:33.000 These things have seemingly just blinked into existence to the average person.
00:39:37.000 We don't know what this means, we don't know how to interact, but they're banning us, they're coming for our jobs, they're threatening our careers because of it.
00:39:42.000 I would think, like, if you talked about the past of someone that transitioned, that you would use the old pronoun if you're talking about that time when they used to be the old pronoun.
00:39:51.000 People can change their names all the time, and it doesn't confuse people.
00:39:54.000 Oh, I guess it's kind of like changing your name.
00:39:56.000 But I just think that people...
00:39:58.000 Living in this fictional world just makes for all the demands, I think, that it places on people who are not very online.
00:40:06.000 Right.
00:40:06.000 I mean, you know, imagine someone who tomorrow, you know, picks up Juno and says some compliment about Paige's performance and then gets accused of, you know, deadnaming and, you know, not respecting, etc.
00:40:20.000 But this will happen.
00:40:21.000 Yeah.
00:40:22.000 So someone who is not very online might tweet, just watch Juno Ellen Page.
00:40:26.000 She was fantastic.
00:40:27.000 And then they're going to get attacked.
00:40:29.000 They're going to get, they're going to get banned.
00:40:30.000 They're going to get suspended on Twitter.
00:40:32.000 I remember Zuby.
00:40:34.000 Remember Zuby?
00:40:35.000 First of all, Zuby identified as a woman and then broke the deadlift record to make a point, but then tweeted at someone on Twitter.
00:40:42.000 Okay, dude.
00:40:44.000 Got suspended.
00:40:44.000 Yeah.
00:40:45.000 And because, but it was like an informal colloquial.
00:40:47.000 Okay, dude.
00:40:48.000 Look, they're coming for Gina Carano from The Mandalorian because of putting beep-bop-boop or whatever in her Twitter bio instead of the pronouns.
00:41:00.000 Were they forcing her to put pronouns in?
00:41:02.000 No, she was getting yelled at for not doing it after the show started.
00:41:06.000 That's like some C-16 Canadian Jordan Peterson speaking, right?
00:41:09.000 Forced, compelled speech.
00:41:10.000 Jordan Peterson warned us.
00:41:12.000 But listen, it's not the government doing it.
00:41:14.000 It's private corporations.
00:41:15.000 Oh, you're going to make me cry just mentioning its name.
00:41:18.000 Jordan?
00:41:20.000 Oh, did you not see the employees?
00:41:25.000 They didn't even read his book and they were crying over it.
00:41:27.000 What I loved so much about the story was that they thought that that was a story they needed to tell to the reporter.
00:41:33.000 Like, this is going to help us.
00:41:37.000 I heard they were going to publish a Jordan Peterson book and I cried.
00:41:40.000 And it's like, my question is, what was the book about?
00:41:44.000 I don't know.
00:41:44.000 He's alright or something.
00:41:45.000 Cooking.
00:41:47.000 Jordan Peterson Family Recipes and it's nothing but steak.
00:41:50.000 Just steak every page.
00:41:52.000 I love this idea.
00:41:53.000 That's a great idea.
00:41:54.000 I was thinking about sex and gender.
00:41:57.000 I was raised, I was taught that sex and gender are different.
00:42:00.000 Sex is your biology and gender is what you identify with emotionally.
00:42:06.000 Social, social.
00:42:07.000 Yeah, it's how you socially identify.
00:42:09.000 No, no, no, no.
00:42:09.000 Like words can have gender.
00:42:11.000 So in romance languages, words are gendered.
00:42:13.000 So why not just acknowledge whatever sex you are, okay, but then if you want to change your gender, just go legally do it at the courthouse.
00:42:23.000 No, no, no, no.
00:42:24.000 Why not?
00:42:24.000 That would be so easy and less confusing.
00:42:26.000 No, no, no, no.
00:42:26.000 I'm sorry.
00:42:26.000 Your ID doesn't say man or woman.
00:42:28.000 It says male or female.
00:42:29.000 And the reason for that is typically medical or for important legal reasons.
00:42:34.000 You could add something to the identification if you wanted to use a different gender.
00:42:38.000 This is the issue that's really causing everything to break down, is that you're correct.
00:42:43.000 Sex and gender are different things.
00:42:44.000 Typically, for the longest time, especially with me growing up, people use sex and gender interchangeably.
00:42:49.000 But if someone comes out and says it's a distinction, I can say, absolutely fine, no problem.
00:42:53.000 The issue is, though, on your passport, on your ID, on your birth certificate, it says male or female, not to make you feel better, not to express your identity, but to explain to people, medically, what you likely are.
00:43:04.000 It's not perfect, but I did a segment on this for Scanner, which is the news outlet now Emily and Rocco are running.
00:43:12.000 We talked with Dr. Deborah So.
00:43:15.000 She's wonderful.
00:43:16.000 She's brilliant.
00:43:17.000 And in it, we talk about the 1992, I believe, Health Revitalization Act.
00:43:22.000 Before this, 1992, get this, not even that long ago, when they did clinical trials, they had no obligation to actually do clinical trials on both males and females.
00:43:31.000 And so what ended up happening was medication would come out that would be particularly ineffective or dangerous for females.
00:43:37.000 When there's a medical emergency, there's a reason why there's a male or female on your ID.
00:43:44.000 It's not just so that when you show your ID, someone can see this and then call you by your proper pronouns.
00:43:49.000 It's so that if you fall down and they're like, what medication can we give this person?
00:43:53.000 They have a better idea.
00:43:54.000 Now, in most circumstances, most times someone's in a medical emergency, male or female, they're gonna be able to help you out just fine.
00:43:59.000 But there are circumstances where, for distinct reasons, it's important that we understand your biology is not the same.
00:44:05.000 You could have, like, it say male, she, her.
00:44:09.000 Like, if you wanted to go to the courthouse and get your gender legally changed, But still have that it says male so if there's a medicine that it's dangerous for I just think that a lot of this gets into the nitty-gritty of the way that that you know government and corporations have to define everything about us at all times and it's just it's it's a very difficult thing but just to go back to the original point you made the the page story
00:44:32.000 And, again, as an actor, great.
00:44:37.000 Umbrella Academy was good.
00:44:38.000 Phenomenal.
00:44:39.000 Great next month.
00:44:41.000 Incredible.
00:44:42.000 And I just think that part of the problem is you put these two stories next to each other, the UK story and the page story, and then this other piece that got written this past week Perhaps, I don't know how she knew this story was coming, by Katie Herzog, who does Blocked and Reported with Jesse Singel, the podcast, which you should listen to.
00:45:05.000 She wrote this piece, this amazing piece, called Where Are All the Lesbians Gone, that talked about the fact, early on, that there are only 15 lesbian bars left in America, and that all these people are redefining themselves as trans instead of lesbian.
00:45:21.000 It's crazy.
00:45:23.000 Look at this.
00:45:24.000 Katie writes, lesbian bars have always been vastly outnumbered by bars for straight people and gay men.
00:45:29.000 But in the 1980s, there were more than 200 lesbian bars in the U.S.
00:45:33.000 What happened?
00:45:34.000 Well, a lot of them sucked.
00:45:35.000 The first lesbian bars I went to in my early 20s were dank, smoky caves where women in khaki shorts and backward caps grinded on each other to outcast.
00:45:42.000 They could have been frat bars, if not for the notable absence of men.
00:45:45.000 I don't know if she specifically references 15 or whatever.
00:45:49.000 She says there's also economic challenge.
00:45:51.000 This is what took down Lexington and infamous... I can't use that word, unfortunately, on YouTube.
00:45:56.000 But yeah, she goes on to say there used to be a lot more, and that was kind of the point I wanted to bring up.
00:46:00.000 She the point that she's overall making is that something is happening here in society.
00:46:05.000 And the problem that you're pointing out is that basically, if we move into the way that certain people want us to talk about this, we can't even discuss it.
00:46:12.000 We can't even, you know, kind of put it out on the table and say, well, let's talk about this interesting phenomenon that's happening.
00:46:18.000 Why is it happening?
00:46:19.000 And to me, that's just it's just so we got to talk.
00:46:22.000 So she she literally opens with the wrong thing.
00:46:25.000 She literally opens with there are only 15 lesbian bars left in the entire country.
00:46:31.000 It's crazy.
00:46:32.000 So are you familiar with Get the L Out?
00:46:35.000 This was a protest, I believe, in the UK.
00:46:38.000 Many of these lesbians are being called, you know, TERFs.
00:46:42.000 They were basically saying that trans activism is erasing lesbians.
00:46:46.000 And this is kind of what, I guess, Katie Herzog is saying about the lesbian bars.
00:46:50.000 I just think that this is a situation where it's almost impossible to discuss all of these things honestly if we have the kind of restrictions that are trying to be put on us.
00:46:58.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
00:46:59.000 And that's crazy, especially with that UK case that is going to lead to a ton more lawsuits.
00:47:04.000 What was the case?
00:47:05.000 Oh yeah.
00:47:05.000 High court ruling on puberty blockers protects teenagers, says woman who sued NHS.
00:47:10.000 Three judges say children under 16 must be able to give their competent consent and understand the treatment.
00:47:17.000 So this was a woman who transitioned and then realized it was, for them, a mistake, and then de-transitioned.
00:47:25.000 But I tell you, you can't have that conversation.
00:47:27.000 Like I mentioned, there was a website that told all these stories.
00:47:29.000 I'll tell you, man, some of the most horrifying stories, and the reason why they were horrifying is that they were saying their loved ones were just telling them, do it.
00:47:37.000 Do all of these things, and they weren't getting an honest, healthy, therapeutic, and loving analysis of what was going on in their lives and what they really needed to feel better.
00:47:46.000 They were kids?
00:47:47.000 They were young people?
00:47:48.000 It was stories of all types.
00:47:49.000 Stories of all types.
00:47:50.000 And there were forums on Reddit that talked about this.
00:47:54.000 They're like Reddit, you know, subreddits, where they were like, here's what I went through, banned.
00:47:59.000 And then Mario Lopez comes along and says you shouldn't be shoving drugs into kids and suddenly has to go this way.
00:48:05.000 Mario Lopez said three-year-olds probably don't know if they're trans and he had to apologize for it.
00:48:12.000 To who?
00:48:12.000 He was going to get fired, I guess.
00:48:15.000 By who?
00:48:15.000 I mean, listen, Mario, you shouldn't have apologized.
00:48:19.000 Absolutely not.
00:48:20.000 When I was three, I probably wanted to be a triceratops.
00:48:23.000 Joe Biden said, if an eight-year-old decides to be trans, there should be no discrimination.
00:48:28.000 Dude, I used to play as Wonder Woman.
00:48:30.000 I used to dress up, not dress up, but I would run around and be like, I'm Wonder Woman.
00:48:33.000 She was my favorite character.
00:48:34.000 But I didn't want to be a woman.
00:48:36.000 I was always like, what would it be like to be a girl?
00:48:38.000 I mean, it's just crazy thoughts.
00:48:40.000 So this is what happens.
00:48:41.000 Joe Biden, when he said that, if an eight-year-old chooses to be trans, there should be no discrimination.
00:48:46.000 That is the kind of... I believe that's irresponsible.
00:48:48.000 I believe the correct answer should be, the issues of private family matters for minors is the responsibility of their parents and their doctors.
00:48:56.000 And that's it.
00:48:58.000 He shouldn't be telling or encouraging or saying, no, no, listen...
00:49:00.000 There are certainly circumstances where there are transgender kids and teenagers, and the parents need to make sure they're doing everything right, and the doctors are doing everything right.
00:49:08.000 He's so checked out.
00:49:09.000 When he did that at the debate, and told that woman about her eight-year-old... The town hall, yes.
00:49:15.000 But that, again, is the sinkhole that you just get sucked into on these things.
00:49:20.000 Where logic goes out the window and you don't think about the ramifications of it, and then you wake up one morning and there are a bunch of kids who need therapy and are pissed off at their parents for shoving drugs into them for something that was just a phase.
00:49:31.000 There was that viral clip from, I think, that HBO show where there's the young trans kid telling his mom, my life is ruined.
00:49:39.000 I hate this.
00:49:40.000 I shouldn't have ever done it.
00:49:41.000 And the mom just stares and says nothing.
00:49:43.000 And it's almost like, you know, It goes back into what I was saying about censorship.
00:49:48.000 The fact that even having this conversation, we run the risk of getting demonetized and getting banned, but it needs to be talked about.
00:49:54.000 If this mother never heard any of these conversations, then the only thing she knew is must be good.
00:50:00.000 Now the kid is telling his mom, and this is on HBO.
00:50:02.000 This is going viral.
00:50:03.000 My life is ruined.
00:50:05.000 I can't stand it.
00:50:06.000 Parents need to be there for their kids, man.
00:50:09.000 This is just, I mean, it's a tragedy and the adults who, I think we will look back on this as being a very stupid and crazy time for the kind of adults who just egged all of this on and acted as if there were no downsides.
00:50:25.000 You know, science can solve your problems for you and make all the confusion go away.
00:50:30.000 When kids are confused, and teenagers especially are confused, And we should let people work their way through these things and make decisions as informed adults and not force them into boxes early on based on, you know, what you've read in the in the silly magazines that make for make arguments for... Teen Vogue.
00:50:48.000 Yes, Teen Vogue in particular.
00:50:49.000 You know, praising Karl Marx and stuff like that.
00:50:50.000 And you know, one of the issues is I think there's a kind of a feedback loop that is driving the left insane.
00:50:58.000 So they make rules to appease what they think is normal.
00:51:03.000 Then those rules create an environment where you can only talk about what they think is normal, which then slowly starts spinning and spinning and moving further and further left.
00:51:11.000 So you end up with the CEO of Twitter saying, here's our rules and the rules are applicable or understood only by 8% of the population, the ultra progressives.
00:51:21.000 Regular people are being banned left and right, creating an echo chamber of all this far left nonsense, which then results in people growing up, getting jobs at Twitter and then believing the insane nonsense and then enacting rules of what they think is normal.
00:51:33.000 And that's why the future of the left depends on the line that runs through AOC's heart.
00:51:39.000 because she, as someone who is a legitimate economic progressive and a populist, I believe,
00:51:45.000 on those points, has shunted those issues to the side in order to accept and embrace
00:51:52.000 this woke ridiculousness.
00:51:55.000 And a byproduct of that, she and the rest of the squad pushing Bernie into that box,
00:52:00.000 which he had never occupied before historically.
00:52:02.000 He had talked about race as being used by corporations to divide us in ways where we
00:52:10.000 should be united based on class interests and economic interests.
00:52:14.000 Until, yes.
00:52:15.000 And then he went woke.
00:52:16.000 And then we have a situation where, you know, the left now, are you just going to be satisfied with a situation where Facebook is policing this stuff and YouTube is banning Tim Pool?
00:52:26.000 And, you know, you have big tech doing all these different things, carrying out your woke agenda.
00:52:31.000 Meanwhile, you know, the very class people you've always said you were fighting for against the Amazons of the world are getting absolutely crushed.
00:52:39.000 I mean, that's a scary future, man.
00:52:42.000 It's a funny thing when the left is in favor of massive private corporations, unconstrained power, to silence and disrupt the lives of the working class.
00:52:51.000 Do you think it's because they've just given up on the process of How a democratic republic works through and solves these problems?
00:53:01.000 I think you got a lot of bullies who want power and have found a path.
00:53:06.000 They found a pitchfork and a torch and they've gone with it.
00:53:08.000 And I think it's funny that, you know, for most of my life, I was pretty much on the left.
00:53:13.000 Now that we're coming into the situation where Trump is evil and he's the next coming of
00:53:19.000 Hitler and all this other nonsense, an honest take on that and they say you're right wing.
00:53:26.000 Everything's just so absolutely binary.
00:53:27.000 Like right now there's articles talking about people who are supporting conspiracy theories,
00:53:33.000 specifically if you believe there was fraud in the election.
00:53:37.000 And so if you are honest about the news, you're right wing.
00:53:41.000 That's where we're at right now.
00:53:42.000 And so I took that famous line, and I said, reality has a right-wing bias.
00:53:45.000 At least it does today.
00:53:47.000 What was it, Colbert who said, reality is a left-wing bias, you know, what, 15 or so years ago?
00:53:51.000 Maybe it did back then, but today, when I pull up, you know, CNN, and they just say, no evidence of fraud at all, and then I literally have a sworn affidavit, six of them, all dropped at one time, Well, witness testimony under oath is evidence.
00:54:07.000 The media is lying about this stuff.
00:54:09.000 Just because you mentioned him real quick as a sideline, who do you think is the first of these comedians or talk show hosts?
00:54:17.000 No, the existing ones today who basically just made their milk and honey out of Trump for the past four years.
00:54:25.000 Which of them gets the axe first?
00:54:26.000 Samantha Bee.
00:54:27.000 It has to be, right?
00:54:29.000 I mean, they're all so bad and they're spread so thin and their jokes are the same and they're so tired and everybody's... I mean, frankly, Colbert was very close to being fired, I believe, just because of his ratings at the time prior to Trump getting elected and turning so political.
00:54:43.000 And, you know, and I, I mean, I've loved Colbert during his career.
00:54:47.000 I've met him and he's been very kind to me and that kind of thing.
00:54:50.000 But at the same time, it's like you became so one note and so partisan and so politicized.
00:54:54.000 You stopped making jokes.
00:54:57.000 And to me, I look at that whole situation and it's like, can we maybe get some good comedy back in here?
00:55:03.000 You had Ryan Long in here the other day.
00:55:05.000 He's hilarious.
00:55:06.000 I've interviewed before, too.
00:55:07.000 He's absolutely hilarious.
00:55:08.000 Instagram just pulled his video down.
00:55:10.000 Whoa, really?
00:55:10.000 Which one?
00:55:11.000 Three days ago.
00:55:12.000 Which video?
00:55:13.000 It was pulled down, but it's on YouTube.
00:55:15.000 No way.
00:55:15.000 He was like, guess I gotta go to YouTube to see my new video that Instagram pulled down.
00:55:19.000 Oh my gosh.
00:55:20.000 But he's a good example of some, like, there's so many comedians who, I mean, and many of them are leftists, you know, but comedy itself is anti-woke in all of its respects.
00:55:32.000 I mean, it's designed to cut people down.
00:55:33.000 It's designed to, you know, make these points.
00:55:36.000 And to me, looking at this landscape of hackery, We deserve a show that actually makes us laugh at the end of the day.
00:55:44.000 I think firstly because comedians are smart and that these people have given up.
00:55:47.000 I think a lot of people on the left that are crazy and you were like, have they given up?
00:55:50.000 It's like they got to a puzzle.
00:55:52.000 It's like, okay, it's a deal.
00:55:53.000 You get to a puzzle and it's so complex, you can't figure it out.
00:55:57.000 And you're just like, I don't know.
00:55:58.000 And then you choose bash as your option and you just smash it.
00:56:00.000 And that's what they're doing.
00:56:01.000 They're going woke and they're just bashing because it's it's the military
00:56:06.000 industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industry, all these industries, the
00:56:10.000 media, the manipulation, they're hearing different things is so confusing to
00:56:13.000 these people that they're just given up and then they're just choosing to go
00:56:17.000 woke. Let's just go.
00:56:18.000 So Ryan Long's video was white women say go back to hating white men.
00:56:23.000 Okay, so I actually doing it was doing really well.
00:56:26.000 I just I just saved that on on my YouTube before I came over here today to remind myself to watch it.
00:56:31.000 But that's, that's crazy.
00:56:32.000 They pull something like that.
00:56:34.000 That's that sounds hilarious.
00:56:35.000 Obvious jokes, but you know what they allow?
00:56:38.000 They'll well, I'm not gonna get into it.
00:56:39.000 They allow bodily fluids and certain things.
00:56:42.000 What they choose to allow and not allow is really weird.
00:56:45.000 Honestly, in my opinion, the nipple thing is kind of funny.
00:56:49.000 It's kind of amusing.
00:56:50.000 Women who take vinyl stickers of male nipples over their nipples, and that's approved by Instagram.
00:56:58.000 Because like, because the rules are like this weird system where it's like male nipples are okay, female aren't.
00:57:03.000 What the heck?
00:57:04.000 Right.
00:57:04.000 It's kind of, it's weird, isn't it?
00:57:06.000 It's like, I just got to allow the nipple, man.
00:57:08.000 You got to, I guess you have to allow it.
00:57:10.000 I don't know what you do.
00:57:11.000 Cause it makes no sense that they do that.
00:57:12.000 Cause then it looks like they're just topless anyway.
00:57:14.000 You know what I mean?
00:57:14.000 You're still insinuating.
00:57:15.000 I think simulated nudity is just like nudity, right?
00:57:18.000 I don't know.
00:57:19.000 That's how it's treated online.
00:57:20.000 I think the rules are all really weird.
00:57:22.000 Yes.
00:57:23.000 But again, stupid rules.
00:57:25.000 We're surrounded by stupid rules.
00:57:27.000 Sometimes they have the force of government behind them, but we're increasingly surrounded by stupid rules from places that really ought to be more in the business of just like, we're a place where you can charge for your newsletter.
00:57:38.000 All right, so this is funny, right?
00:57:40.000 It's always been the liberals that were like, the corporations.
00:57:43.000 The corporations, and you know, we gotta tax the companies and stop them, and the government is good.
00:57:49.000 Then, for a long time, it was always the conservatives saying, no, the free market is okay, the corporations are not evil, and the government is... I'm speaking generally, of course.
00:57:55.000 Now it's the Democrats saying, but my private business.
00:58:00.000 It's like you sound like the Koch brothers.
00:58:01.000 And they, and they think you're, they all think you're stupid.
00:58:04.000 I mean, Jeff Bezos, you know, you know, it's like, oh, Amazon is viewed as horrible.
00:58:09.000 That's so bad.
00:58:10.000 I'm going to buy the Washington Post with basically money, money I found in my couch.
00:58:14.000 Oh, and let's put democracy dies in darkness at the top.
00:58:17.000 Right at the top.
00:58:18.000 And we'll have all these stories bashing Trump and we'll, you know, market it through Amazon as like a bonus to people.
00:58:24.000 Meanwhile, we're going to put out a business, small businesses all over the place, and we're going to crush them when it comes to IP.
00:58:31.000 We're going to engage in all of this negative behavior and you're not going to care because we're just anti-Trump.
00:58:35.000 We're anti the fascists.
00:58:36.000 We're fighting them.
00:58:37.000 But so this is why I think we're on the precipice.
00:58:40.000 Well, I can't keep using that analogy.
00:58:42.000 I said before, I feel like we've splattered on the ground.
00:58:44.000 We fell off the precipice.
00:58:45.000 We went over a long time ago.
00:58:47.000 We were falling for a long time.
00:58:49.000 Smack the ground.
00:58:49.000 This country has been split in two.
00:58:51.000 And you've got people.
00:58:53.000 It's more than two.
00:58:54.000 It's fractions.
00:58:55.000 No, no, no.
00:58:56.000 It is.
00:58:56.000 But just speaking generally, the people who are supporting Joe Biden, who are supporting the lockdowns, and there's a large overlap, not every single, but the Venn diagram is pretty, you know, tightly compact.
00:59:06.000 Allowing private businesses to take away, to monopolize the commons.
00:59:11.000 That is the most anti-leftist thing I've ever heard, but the left supports it.
00:59:14.000 Not all leftists.
00:59:15.000 But for the most part, they deny that censorship is even happening.
00:59:18.000 They say things like it's a private business, they can do what they want.
00:59:20.000 And I'm like, bro, the conversations we have...
00:59:23.000 The marketplaces?
00:59:24.000 That's called the commons.
00:59:25.000 It's the area where it's supposed to be like for all of us to work and live together.
00:59:29.000 The left was always about defending that.
00:59:31.000 Now you're saying private business when they censor somebody, take away their banking, or even in some instances kick them out of their apartments, which has happened to some people.
00:59:38.000 That's how crazy things are getting, they're supporting it.
00:59:40.000 So you know what I see?
00:59:42.000 Stupid and complicit people, the priests of the cathedral, who know what they're doing to manipulate these people, and then you end up with the... I guess you call it the red-pilled.
00:59:54.000 That's the analogy they use.
00:59:56.000 It's not all conservatives.
00:59:57.000 I think conservatives were the ones who woke up to this a long time ago because they were being lied about quite a bit.
01:00:02.000 But then you end up with disaffected liberals, people like me.
01:00:05.000 You're certainly no conservative.
01:00:06.000 You're further left than I am on a lot of issues.
01:00:09.000 And you would be considered right-wing for a lot of things.
01:00:11.000 That's insanity?
01:00:12.000 It is.
01:00:12.000 It is.
01:00:13.000 Look at you.
01:00:13.000 You're a hippie dude, skateboard shirt with long hair, and they call you right-wing.
01:00:17.000 Right and left are gone.
01:00:18.000 They don't mean anything.
01:00:18.000 Of course.
01:00:19.000 They're vague.
01:00:20.000 But think about what's happening now.
01:00:21.000 What is?
01:00:23.000 Someone to do when you are watching Amazon eviscerate the working class, laughing while they do it, democracy dies in darkness, as he spits in your face, and they advocate and fund politicians who say, it's against the science, but we're going to destroy your life, your small business, your family.
01:00:43.000 We're going to tell you to wear a mask in your own home between bites, but we're going to go out and party like Gavin Newsom.
01:00:49.000 What's a regular person going to do when they see that over and over again?
01:00:52.000 And they know because they're listening, they're paying attention.
01:00:54.000 People are going to explode, man.
01:00:56.000 I was on Fox News earlier today in the noon hour and they were talking about Neera Tanden, the appointee or the expected appointee to head the OMB, Office of Management and Budget, underneath Joe Biden.
01:01:12.000 And Neera is obviously somebody who you know about and is very controversial when it comes to Both her association with Hillary Clinton, her activities running the Center for American Progress, her general trollishness toward people online.
01:01:26.000 And as the Democrat who was on the show, Leslie Marshall, was defending her, she said, you know, she's backed by, you know, is qualified by such a diverse, you know, coalition of people, including Hillary Clinton and Bill Kristol.
01:01:40.000 And I just and I literally I literally said you could find this clip.
01:01:44.000 I started going ha ha ha like into my microphone just for people don't know who's Bill Kristol.
01:01:50.000 The former the former head of the now defunct Weekly Standard but also someone who you know is also a major neoconservative figure you know as argued for wars all around the world and very similar to Hillary.
01:02:02.000 To me, it's, well, but I said, look, you know, the fact that you think that these two people
01:02:06.000 coming together to back Neera Tanden is a mark in her favor, you know, tells us a lot
01:02:12.000 about where this administration is going, which is what I, here's what I honestly think.
01:02:16.000 We have a situation where the America-last foreign policy, the people who view everything
01:02:24.000 through the global sphere as opposed to what is in the interests of the American people,
01:02:28.000 who view war as something that we should go into, you know, on the other side, people who view war
01:02:33.000 as something that we should go into very reluctantly, very rarely, and always with the interests of
01:02:37.000 Americans and the American and American stability, you know, at heart. In other words, you know,
01:02:44.000 there's a higher level of threat from the cartels than from a lot of these countries in Africa.
01:02:49.000 That's a side point.
01:02:50.000 But the point being, I think that that's now moved into this new, this center-left globalist
01:02:59.000 coalition that Biden wants to form and that the Kamala Harris folks want to form in his
01:03:04.000 stead, which is, we're going to be good to big tech, we're going to be good to big
01:03:08.000 Wall Street, we're going to do everything that they want in terms of globalism and get
01:03:12.000 back into the Paris Climate Accords, which China likes more than us, get back into the
01:03:19.000 Iran deal, get back into all these other things that other places want that don't look out
01:03:24.000 for American interests.
01:03:25.000 And they really think that they can hold that together with the glue of progressive wokeism.
01:03:30.000 There's a reporter for The Atlantic who blocked me recently because I quote tweeted him in
01:03:35.000 a critical of the media in general.
01:03:38.000 But we're seeing something quite a bit where they're saying, there's this meme going around where the journalists say, if the past four years of Trump was like drowning in a vat of Tabasco sauce, then the next four years of Biden will be like sipping unflavored almond milk.
01:03:50.000 And everyone laughs like, haha, Joe Biden's gonna be so, so boring, right?
01:03:54.000 So Joe Biden hurts his ankle, okay?
01:03:57.000 And this reporter for The Atlantic posts an image saying, Joe Biden playing with dog hurts ankle, and he says, you know, an image of how boring the next several years are going to be.
01:04:06.000 And then he does this joke where it's like, 2019, Donald Trump extra extra legally calls for an investigation of Saturday Night Live because they made a critical, you know, sketch about him.
01:04:15.000 2021, you know, Joe Biden plays with dog, something like that.
01:04:19.000 So my response was, 2011.
01:04:21.000 Barack Obama orders drone strike on civilian cafe in country we are not at war with, killing a 16-year-old American citizen, and his response to the public is, oopsie!
01:04:30.000 2020.
01:04:31.000 Joe Biden's transition team is looking a lot like Barack Obama's team, so we're gonna get Obama 2.0.
01:04:36.000 Point being, journalists are basically telling us they're not going to do their jobs.
01:04:40.000 Totally.
01:04:40.000 They're already saying, it's so funny playing with a dog.
01:04:43.000 Meanwhile, it's like, okay, should we count down the days until he blows up some kids?
01:04:47.000 I'll take bets.
01:04:48.000 It's definitely a situation where you're going to have them using Oh, there's a rescue pet.
01:04:56.000 Oh, look at the funny socks.
01:04:58.000 Oh, Tony Blinken, he plays the guitar.
01:05:01.000 That's the thing that we're going to talk about the next Secretary of State.
01:05:04.000 And it's like, aren't there more important things that are going to need to be addressed here?
01:05:08.000 I mean, the most significant obviously being I still have no idea what Joe Biden's secret plan to end the coronavirus looks like.
01:05:16.000 I didn't have one.
01:05:17.000 Of course he doesn't.
01:05:18.000 It just seems to be yell on the phone via, you know, at governors to have more mask mandates.
01:05:23.000 Now, we can play the partisan game and I can say, I just read a story that Joe Biden hurt his ankle playing with a dog.
01:05:30.000 What is this man doing playing with a dog during one of the worst pandemics we've ever experienced?
01:05:36.000 Shouldn't he be working on something instead of playing around?
01:05:39.000 You can play silly games, criticize him for whatever you can, but that's like the partisan media run, right?
01:05:46.000 Barack Obama admits that he was smoking throughout his entire tenure at the White House.
01:05:51.000 Smoking pot?
01:05:52.000 No, no, no, cigarettes.
01:05:54.000 No, I wish.
01:05:54.000 Cigarettes.
01:05:55.000 Maybe he wanted to kill so many kids.
01:05:56.000 Honestly, it would probably have been a much better administration.
01:05:58.000 Call the peace pipe.
01:06:00.000 But seriously, the fact that we never knew that, when everyone was so, like, picking apart Look, they always lie about the president's health.
01:06:10.000 They always say he's healthier than he is.
01:06:12.000 I think Jake Tapper called him out and got ridiculed for it.
01:06:17.000 Like years ago, he said, I smelled smoke on Obama, and then they all made fun of him.
01:06:20.000 I think it was Tapper.
01:06:22.000 I do recall this, yes.
01:06:25.000 But it's like, that's what they're going to do again.
01:06:26.000 Because it's fine.
01:06:28.000 A tan suit?
01:06:29.000 Oh, that was the only scandal.
01:06:30.000 That was the right, wasn't it?
01:06:32.000 That was criticizing him.
01:06:33.000 So the tansuit thing is a total fake news fiction.
01:06:37.000 It's like a handful of people made fun of the tansuit.
01:06:40.000 And then everybody has now put like the tansuit was this huge scandal on the right.
01:06:45.000 And it's like it was literally a handful of people making jokes.
01:06:47.000 I remember interestingly, we have a, Luke Rutkowski is hanging out.
01:06:51.000 He was at, I think it was like a DNC, it was a debate or something, a DNC convention.
01:06:56.000 And he asked a couple Democrats about the extrajudicial assassination by Barack Obama of a 16-year-old American citizen whose name was Abdulrahman Awlaki.
01:07:05.000 And it was, I can't remember the guy's name, Charlie Gibbs, is that his name?
01:07:08.000 He said, well, he should have had a better father.
01:07:11.000 So the questions that arose from it.
01:07:13.000 No, no, yeah, seriously.
01:07:14.000 That is a hot take.
01:07:15.000 16-year-old American from Denver, Colorado, lived in San Diego, was visiting his grandparents in Yemen.
01:07:22.000 Barack Obama ordered a drone strike in Yemen.
01:07:25.000 We're not at war with Yemen.
01:07:26.000 Blowing up a civilian restaurant.
01:07:28.000 We don't target civilians.
01:07:29.000 Killing a 16-year-old American citizen.
01:07:31.000 What the?
01:07:32.000 We don't target kids.
01:07:33.000 And his dad was somebody that Obama wanted dead, right?
01:07:36.000 Yeah, he was suspected of being a high-profile jihadist.
01:07:40.000 So the theory is they killed the guy's son?
01:07:42.000 Well, the anti-war activists think that Barack Obama was basically telling the world, if you F with us, I will kill your kids.
01:07:51.000 And he's willing to blot civilians to do it.
01:07:52.000 It's so funny how, though, the media complex pretended that Trump's approach to foreign policy was going to be something that dragged him down, that was this negative around him with the American people.
01:08:06.000 When it is so much more historically in sync with what Americans tend to want, which is they are not peaceniks, okay?
01:08:15.000 They go through periods after heavy wards of being sort of looking like peaceniks, but in reality they tend to be, as Walter Russell Mead has written, consistently Jacksonian, which is that if you leave us alone and you don't screw with us, then we don't want to go over there and screw with you and have it come back and have it be complicated and that kind of thing.
01:08:35.000 We just want you to leave us alone.
01:08:36.000 But if you screw with us, we're going to come over and we're just going to, you know.
01:08:40.000 And we're armed.
01:08:40.000 Beat the crap out of you.
01:08:41.000 And then some.
01:08:43.000 And more.
01:08:44.000 And that's what they like.
01:08:45.000 But then they don't like to stay around and exist in these nation-building ways.
01:08:50.000 And in fact, George W. Bush made that same argument when he was running for president in 2000.
01:08:54.000 He said, we don't want to be in the nation-building business anymore.
01:08:57.000 That type of thing.
01:08:58.000 Exactly.
01:08:58.000 That's how it worked out for him.
01:09:00.000 You can go back and find that clip.
01:09:02.000 Well, but I think that that's another indication where That is the undercurrent because it's actually pretty consistent with, frankly, a lot of people who come from military families want.
01:09:13.000 It's the fact that they don't want their kid to be sent over to some small war.
01:09:17.000 They understand the purpose of defending America.
01:09:19.000 They're patriots.
01:09:20.000 They want the country to be defended.
01:09:22.000 They don't want to get rid of the military or shut that all down.
01:09:26.000 At the same time, they don't want to hear about their kid dying in Africa, as we saw a little more than a year ago, and have senators come on the camera and say, I didn't even know that we were in this part of Africa.
01:09:39.000 And that's what happened.
01:09:40.000 And it's like, that should disgust us.
01:09:43.000 We should never have a situation where that happens.
01:09:46.000 You know, you know, we had a we had a lefty on the show and he was like 26.
01:09:50.000 We were talking about Joe Biden's, you know, as vice president in these scandals.
01:09:55.000 And he was like, I think I was 15 or 16 when that happened.
01:09:58.000 So so a lot of these totally.
01:10:00.000 And and I'm experiencing this now because I am an old man at 38.
01:10:05.000 And and I have employees now who were, you know, two years old when 9-11 happened.
01:10:12.000 Three years old.
01:10:13.000 And they don't even, when one of my colleagues makes a reference to Team America World Police and they have no idea what he's talking about, which is really depressing.
01:10:24.000 It's like, what is this puppet sex movie that you're talking about?
01:10:28.000 Anyway.
01:10:28.000 Get familiar.
01:10:32.000 The only way I would sleep with you is if you promised me you would never die.
01:10:35.000 I will never die.
01:10:38.000 The thing that is amazing about it is you start to see How, and I didn't listen to people who were older than me and told me this, our politics repeats so much.
01:10:48.000 Yeah.
01:10:49.000 It has this rhyming quality to it where we come back to these same points with new figures and new elements, but they also repeat in these fascinating ways.
01:10:59.000 And, you know, oftentimes I think you end up having these controversial in the time figures Who, in retrospect, proved to be viewed as incredibly effective or having done amazing things.
01:11:12.000 You know, Reagan was one of these figures.
01:11:14.000 Clinton became one of these figures.
01:11:15.000 I think, in retrospect, people look back and they're like, wow, that Bill Clinton, he was, you know, very centrist and sort of did these culturally slightly conservative things and, you know, had these attitudes in different directions.
01:11:26.000 At the time, he was the most controversial person we'd ever seen in the presidency, and Republicans hated him and loathed him and investigated the crap out of
01:11:33.000 him and impeached him.
01:11:35.000 And I think in retrospect we'll look back, we'll come to look back on Trump as being
01:11:41.000 a similar figure in a lot of respects.
01:11:42.000 Where he governed closer to the center than people actually think.
01:11:45.000 Many people are saying, you know, how many months or years until Ellen is, you know,
01:11:50.000 sharing candy with Trump at a baseball game or something.
01:11:53.000 Soon, but I think it'll be Biden first.
01:11:55.000 Well, look, George W. Bush in that famous, you know, bit with the sharing the candy with
01:11:59.000 Michelle Obama or whatever.
01:12:00.000 Who will it be?
01:12:01.000 Because it won't be somebody who's conservative like Vince Vaughn, it'll be someone who's a little bit more...
01:12:07.000 Who would it be?
01:12:09.000 Maybe an athlete?
01:12:09.000 Oh my gosh.
01:12:10.000 They just don't know?
01:12:10.000 at the things George W. Bush did and Dick Cheney compared to what Trump did.
01:12:14.000 It's just like night and day.
01:12:15.000 And here they are.
01:12:17.000 There was a poll that came out that said Democrats view George W.
01:12:20.000 Bush more favorably than Trump.
01:12:21.000 And I'm like, y'all have lost it.
01:12:23.000 Oh my gosh.
01:12:24.000 But this, this is why I just don't know.
01:12:25.000 Listen, no, no, no.
01:12:25.000 This is, this is why I brought up the dude on it.
01:12:27.000 This yes.
01:12:28.000 But when you have, when you have people who are, you got 20 year olds who voted
01:12:32.000 20 year olds who are activists online, right online right now, marching down
01:12:35.000 the street, waving banners.
01:12:36.000 Right, they were cynics when we got into Iraq.
01:12:39.000 Yeah, and they were 10!
01:12:40.000 They were, what, 8 years old during the economic crisis.
01:12:44.000 They were 10 years old in 2010.
01:12:46.000 They were 11 during Occupy Wall Street.
01:12:48.000 So while we're on Occupy Wall Street, and you've got the left rising up, complaining about Obama, And both Democrats and Republicans.
01:12:56.000 And we got all of these years, look, the emergence of Black Lives Matter and all this stuff happened under Obama.
01:13:00.000 The National Guard being deployed, all of it's under Obama.
01:13:03.000 We had these riots.
01:13:04.000 We had, you know, Libya, Syria, all of these conflicts.
01:13:08.000 You have stories about drone strikes.
01:13:09.000 They called him Obama, Obama, like bombing people.
01:13:13.000 They called him the deporter in chief.
01:13:15.000 Here we are, we get Trump.
01:13:17.000 Not good in the first few years in foreign policy, improving very much so in the last two years, firing Bolton, especially, I bring it up all the time, it was a great move, shouldn't have hired him in the first place.
01:13:25.000 And then I'm talking to these people who are now in their 20s, and they're like, I was 10 when all that was happening.
01:13:29.000 And I'm like, so you, you come into my house, we've been fighting this fight against these insane people.
01:13:37.000 Hillary Clinton was told a no-fly zone over Syria would mean World War III, war with Russia, and she was like, basically, so what?
01:13:43.000 So you know what you just touched on there is one of the great ironies of Trump's presidency, which is that to the degree that it was a failure, it is because he failed to do the very thing he was most famous for before getting into the presidency, which is fire people.
01:14:01.000 Oh, yes.
01:14:02.000 If he had fired James Comey on day one.
01:14:04.000 Oh yeah.
01:14:05.000 You don't have all of that.
01:14:07.000 He trusted too many people.
01:14:09.000 If you fire or never hire Bolton, you don't have that period.
01:14:13.000 If you fire Anthony Fauci, the minute that he comes out and says, we shouldn't reopen schools despite the rest of the first world reopening schools.
01:14:23.000 I mean, there's a lot of different things that could have gone right here if Trump had been quicker to fire people.
01:14:28.000 And if he had actually been Almost.
01:14:33.000 If it was even one degree towards more authoritarian as much as they claim him to be.
01:14:40.000 In addition, the funny thing is that that's the actual, I would argue the same thing of George W. Bush.
01:14:45.000 You know, Michael Brown and Katrina.
01:14:48.000 Heck of a job, Brownie.
01:14:49.000 He should have fired him almost immediately as it became clear that he was not cut out to run FEMA in this situation.
01:14:55.000 He declined firing Rumsfeld when Rumsfeld was willing to go.
01:14:59.000 There's a number of instances where he kind of stuck with people out of personal loyalty and it ended up backfiring.
01:15:06.000 I just think that this is, again, it's one of those situations where things rhyme and people end up getting fired.
01:15:12.000 Cowardice.
01:15:12.000 Bush was a coward.
01:15:13.000 He had Cheney run the military.
01:15:15.000 Trump's a coward.
01:15:16.000 He wants people to like him so he won't make hard decisions.
01:15:18.000 I wouldn't necessarily say cowardice.
01:15:23.000 We forget sometimes that politicians are human.
01:15:27.000 And I think that one of the things that animates them so much, it's similar to actors.
01:15:32.000 No offense to Mr. Page is that they have this deep hole in their heart that needs to be filled with something, whether that's adulation or praise or affirmation.
01:15:42.000 I mean, there's a reason that so many great politicians have parents who are drunks.
01:15:45.000 That describes Donald Trump.
01:15:47.000 And he puts his name in giant gold letters on top of buildings all over the world.
01:15:50.000 Yeah.
01:15:51.000 Yeah.
01:15:51.000 The joke is that he, you know, his, he was neglected.
01:15:54.000 I mean, the left argues he was literally abused or neglected by his father.
01:15:56.000 He was letting Bolton run the show until he saw that people hated him on Twitter.
01:16:00.000 And he's like, Oh, got to get rid of him.
01:16:02.000 So people like me.
01:16:03.000 So the American conservative wrote fire Bolton, hire Tulsi.
01:16:07.000 And I was clapping.
01:16:08.000 I'm like, yeah, it's like, she absolutely get rid of this guy.
01:16:11.000 But I think that this is a situation where, once again, we now have a political situation that is dominated by the olds, by the people who have nothing in common with all the people who you were just talking about.
01:16:22.000 We had three presidents from the same birth year.
01:16:24.000 1946, okay?
01:16:26.000 It had George W. Bush, it had Bill Clinton, and it had Donald Trump.
01:16:30.000 They were all born within seven months of each other.
01:16:33.000 And if you think about it, they're all kind of the different aspects of boomerism.
01:16:37.000 Yeah.
01:16:37.000 Like Clinton, the kind of, you know, hippie higher ed, you know, George W. kind of the the miscreant, like the guy who kind of had a rough time but then kind of made good frat boy.
01:16:47.000 Yeah.
01:16:47.000 And then Trump is kind of the rat pack, you know, hold over, you know, over the top Vegas, you know.
01:16:53.000 Where are the young people in this in this, you know?
01:16:56.000 Well, we just went older.
01:16:57.000 We just went to our first silent generation era.
01:17:00.000 We went older than the baby boom.
01:17:02.000 He snapped his foot playing with his dog.
01:17:04.000 No, no, no.
01:17:05.000 Listen, I'm going to say it again.
01:17:07.000 Joe Biden is the worst thing to happen to this country.
01:17:09.000 Listen.
01:17:11.000 There's a lot of, I'm sure Joe's fine in a lot of ways, he's bad in a lot of ways, but for what this country is going through right now, the worst possible thing that could happen is Joe Biden.
01:17:19.000 You know why?
01:17:19.000 Because he's frail.
01:17:20.000 Every Republican hates him, or for the most part doesn't like him, and half the Democrats don't like him.
01:17:26.000 He only got elected, arguably, from the right, they'll say because of fraud, but in the surface level approach, people voted against Trump.
01:17:33.000 Yes.
01:17:34.000 Against Trump, meaning, at a time when we are more polarized than ever and we need strong leadership to unite us, What we get is nothing.
01:17:41.000 We have no president.
01:17:42.000 We have no leader.
01:17:42.000 People hate-voted, dude.
01:17:44.000 I really say this with hope that it is not true.
01:17:48.000 But the worst president in American history, from my perspective, is James Buchanan.
01:17:53.000 And obviously he led to civil war.
01:17:56.000 Can you explain why?
01:17:57.000 James Buchanan was a feckless and corrupt guy who really was completely unprepared for the kind of strife that was coming into the country.
01:18:08.000 Ultimately, he was obviously followed by Abraham Lincoln, and we immediately went into civil war because of it.
01:18:13.000 Now, I'm not predicting that, and I want to make clear that I'm not predicting that, but it has a similar flavor to it of someone who is just...
01:18:21.000 Elected for a lot of reasons that don't have to do with him and then shows himself to be very ill-suited for the historic moment that he inhabits.
01:18:31.000 And I really worry that that's what we're facing right now.
01:18:35.000 Maybe Donald Trump convinces... Look, Pennsylvania says they're not going to come into session.
01:18:39.000 They say we need five days for a joint resolution.
01:18:42.000 Maybe Trump gets a lightning strike three times.
01:18:45.000 Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
01:18:48.000 But guess what?
01:18:49.000 You know what's really interesting?
01:18:50.000 No one's that lucky in a casino.
01:18:55.000 I've been saying it since the 7th.
01:18:58.000 I think it's astronomically likely.
01:19:00.000 I shouldn't say it that way.
01:19:04.000 The odds are extremely in Joe Biden's favor to the point where it's like 99.99%.
01:19:09.000 But the reason I reserved that little bit, actually early on I said it was probably like 97, because Trump still had these lawsuits and he still had, the states weren't certified.
01:19:16.000 Now we're at a point where it's like winning the lottery three times in a row for Trump to pull it off.
01:19:20.000 Yeah, it's never gonna happen.
01:19:22.000 I can't say never, but... I wouldn't say never.
01:19:23.000 I wouldn't say never.
01:19:24.000 Because listen, listen, we had these hearings, okay, and people are freaked out.
01:19:28.000 It doesn't mean it's likely at all, it just means the door... Here's the way I put it.
01:19:34.000 There's a gleam, men!
01:19:35.000 that Trump is on at the end of that track.
01:19:37.000 There's a gleam, men.
01:19:38.000 There's a gleam.
01:19:39.000 Well, listen, yes, there's a train track.
01:19:41.000 Trump's train is on it and it is headed towards a door that means re-election.
01:19:45.000 But in between are loop-de-loops, jumps, boulders, trees falling over, and it's like, I don't
01:19:51.000 see it making there.
01:19:53.000 Maybe.
01:19:53.000 Extremely unlikely.
01:19:55.000 Have you looked back at the election of 1876?
01:19:57.000 Yes, yes.
01:19:58.000 That was when they appointed a council to determine the president.
01:20:01.000 It was crazy.
01:20:02.000 It was absolutely crazy.
01:20:03.000 But it also puts in perspective how, like, I know 1876 seems like a long time ago, but that just shows, like, our American bias.
01:20:11.000 Almost 150 years.
01:20:11.000 You know, like like there are people who are who are walking around who's like that was their grandpa who was around, you know, during the presidency.
01:20:20.000 Well, I was I was listening to the radio once and it was a beer commercial.
01:20:23.000 It was an import.
01:20:23.000 And they were like, our beer is protected by the fine beer law of 1217.
01:20:26.000 And I was like, wow.
01:20:30.000 Like the United States doesn't go back that far, you know?
01:20:32.000 We are so incredibly young as a nation.
01:20:34.000 I was just thinking, in order for us to have a normal conversation and just talk about this stuff, we have to have our own social network.
01:20:40.000 It has to be a mesh network so we don't have an ISP.
01:20:43.000 We have to be off the banking system and have crypto only because the banks can all shut us down.
01:20:48.000 We have to have our own electricity on site and our own water supply on site because the government can shut off our water Just to have a normal conversation publicly.
01:20:57.000 But listen, if you actually, you know, these people, the Green New Deal types and the leftists, everything you described should be exactly what they're striving for.
01:21:06.000 Get people off the grid so that they're self-sustainable.
01:21:09.000 Get people, why do we have lawns, just grass?
01:21:12.000 And then do we mow the grass and we throw it in the compost?
01:21:14.000 What a waste!
01:21:14.000 We gotta grow our own food!
01:21:15.000 Yeah, why don't we grow potatoes?
01:21:16.000 What if you turn your front lawn into a potato field?
01:21:18.000 And then you have food.
01:21:19.000 You don't have to grow your own food, because you can go buy stuff with crypto.
01:21:23.000 But if you can't turn your crypto into cash, fiat, because you don't have a bank, because the Swift payment system has cut you out, has banned your person.
01:21:33.000 Right, right, right.
01:21:34.000 And if we all became more self-sufficient, that would have less of an impact on us.
01:21:38.000 If we could grow our own food, if we had our own energy in our homes.
01:21:41.000 Just so you can talk without being censored.
01:21:44.000 Do you think, though, that the lockdowns and everything have been have improved the possibility of that or no decreased.
01:21:52.000 Yes it's now you got people saying government why won't you give me free food exactly exactly I got a guy in my
01:21:57.000 backyard.
01:21:58.000 You know look we moved I moved out to the middle of nowhere because I don't want to be forced to live under their boot
01:22:06.000 when they start locking you down telling you can and can't go to
01:22:09.000 the store you can't go out at night you eventually run out of
01:22:12.000 the limited food you have living in the city.
01:22:14.000 And then you're just sitting there saying, please, government, can I now eat?
01:22:16.000 OK, can I can I speak to that?
01:22:19.000 So I was born in Mississippi, grew up a little bit in South Carolina, and then we moved to rural Virginia, which is actually about.
01:22:26.000 You know, an area where before the big tech boom, before all of these companies moved in, it was all rural farmland and farmland that was starting to be chopped up into suburbs, but still homes that had tons of land and the like.
01:22:42.000 And living in that area, you were surrounded by two types of people.
01:22:48.000 You know, a very rural area.
01:22:50.000 Basically, it was people who, their families had lived there for ages.
01:22:54.000 They were used to being incredibly self-sufficient.
01:22:57.000 You know, when winter came, if they were up, you know, sort of in the Blue Ridge, they could, you know, live up there and be fine for ages.
01:23:04.000 And then you had these people who were moving there, often from California and the like, to staff these jobs at, then it was AOL and MCI Worldcom and places like that, that were the first ones coming in.
01:23:15.000 And the differences between the kids could not have been greater in terms of expectations about life and what was self-sufficiency and things like that.
01:23:24.000 And seeing the early stages of like helicopter parenting as a trend at the same time that there were families where it was like, oh yeah, the little kid, they'll just go off and they'll take care of themselves and they'll come back.
01:23:34.000 Total divide.
01:23:35.000 And I feel like as a country, we're seeing that helicopter approach just completely take over.
01:23:42.000 And the worry that I've had, and I've said this since this whole thing began, I had a conversation with a friend of mine.
01:23:50.000 who does a great podcast called The Fifth Column.
01:23:54.000 And we were going back and forth and he said, you know, I'm worried that we're going to see revolution.
01:23:58.000 We're going to see people with guns in the streets, you know, and that they're going to be fighting and killing politicians and things like.
01:24:04.000 And I said, my worry is they're just going to go along with all this because the American people are too docile now.
01:24:10.000 They don't have that self-sufficiency gene anymore.
01:24:13.000 It's been smothered.
01:24:15.000 And I just think that everything that's happened since has vindicated that.
01:24:18.000 I have said over and over again that Republicans will probably just roll over, you know, put their feet up and accept it.
01:24:25.000 And I mean the Republican politicians.
01:24:27.000 Their concept.
01:24:28.000 Oh yes.
01:24:28.000 That is their business.
01:24:28.000 That is their nature.
01:24:31.000 It's the frog and the scorpion.
01:24:34.000 The people, I think, are going to get angry.
01:24:36.000 Yes.
01:24:37.000 We're out in the middle of nowhere and I was talking to a guy who lives Kind of a bit a ways away, but I would consider it to be relatively local because we're in the middle of nowhere.
01:24:47.000 And he was, man, you could see it in his eyes.
01:24:51.000 Just like he's ready.
01:24:52.000 He said, if Donald Trump told me, you know, come out, bring your weapons.
01:24:56.000 And I was like, dude, dude, dude, dude, whoa.
01:24:59.000 But Reuters ran a story saying something similar.
01:25:01.000 That they interviewed Trump supporters and they said, if Trump need only give the word and they'll be out with their guns.
01:25:06.000 That's the regular American.
01:25:08.000 And that, I mean, look, I believe it because that's what America was.
01:25:11.000 America was founded by people who are like F.U.
01:25:13.000 government.
01:25:13.000 Yeah.
01:25:13.000 Right.
01:25:14.000 Yeah.
01:25:14.000 So did you did you see the whole principle that is the only thing good about that Mark Mark Wahlberg remake of the of the gambler?
01:25:21.000 is the speech that John Goodman gives about how America is built on the principle of F-U.
01:25:25.000 Yeah.
01:25:26.000 You have an army?
01:25:27.000 You're the biggest empire in the world?
01:25:29.000 F-U!
01:25:30.000 Did you see the, we have this story, the We the People Convention?
01:25:34.000 Did you see this?
01:25:34.000 Ah, yes, yes.
01:25:35.000 This letter?
01:25:35.000 So we have this ad.
01:25:36.000 They say, We the People Convention.
01:25:39.000 Exercising extraordinary authority in defense of our vote may be required because martial law is better than civil war.
01:25:46.000 They're going to talk about what Lincoln did.
01:25:48.000 He ordered hundreds of northern newspapers that spoke against him to be shut down.
01:25:52.000 Lincoln ordered the arrest of Ohio Congressman Clement Vallandingham for the crime of speaking out against him.
01:25:58.000 Chief Justice of the U.S.
01:26:02.000 Roger Taney ruled that Lincoln had violated the U.S.
01:26:05.000 Constitution when he illegally suspended the writ of habeas corpus.
01:26:08.000 After hearing this, Lincoln signed an arrest warrant to have the Chief Justice of the U.S.
01:26:12.000 arrested.
01:26:13.000 Lincoln ordered the arrest of thousands in Maryland for the crime of suspected Southern sympathies, including ordering the arrest of U.S.
01:26:20.000 Congressman Henry May from Maryland.
01:26:22.000 These people were arrested and held in military prisons without trial, some of them for years.
01:26:29.000 And guess what?
01:26:31.000 There are people who are calling for this right now.
01:26:34.000 The point of this ad being taken out was to tell Trump to do it.
01:26:37.000 They say we have well-funded armed and trained Marxists and Antifa and BLM
01:26:40.000 strategically positioned in our major cities acting openly with violence to
01:26:45.000 silence opposition for their anti-American agenda, attacking federal buildings when police,
01:26:49.000 cowardly punching innocent people.
01:26:51.000 I mean, I'm not gonna read this whole thing.
01:26:52.000 You know what?
01:26:53.000 He won't.
01:26:54.000 Let me read you the end.
01:26:55.000 But I think you're right that Biden is this incompetent lackluster that for four years it's gonna brew and someone is gonna do that.
01:27:03.000 Well, the problem is just look at the reaction that was the non-reaction that we saw during the summer.
01:27:10.000 Which I would actually argue is the point where any of the honest polls started to be completely wrong because white people in Wisconsin who you're trying to pull on your attitude towards BLM are absolutely not going to tell you that they hate it.
01:27:23.000 But the reaction from Biden was basically Come on, man.
01:27:28.000 Come on, man.
01:27:29.000 Stop setting stuff on fire.
01:27:30.000 Well, to be fair, his reaction was more Trinidad and a shot of pressure.
01:27:34.000 So he's like Buchanan, this crap nobody.
01:27:38.000 It's the sort of situation where I think you have these, to what you were just saying, you have these things brewing and festering and getting more and more intense.
01:27:47.000 And then when things start burning and the flame turns up, here's the thing, white cops
01:27:53.000 have not stopped shooting unarmed black men.
01:27:56.000 Someone will, that will happen within the next couple of months.
01:28:00.000 Now it'll happen to, it happens to a much lesser degree than you would think that it
01:28:03.000 happens based on the media.
01:28:04.000 But the way that it plays out and this response that Biden has to it, what is he going to
01:28:11.000 This is going to be a situation where he's caught between the defund the police side of things that is frustrated and doesn't like the fact that they're being blamed for Democrat losses and this octogenarian leadership that Democrats have in Nancy Pelosi and the heads of the House.
01:28:27.000 It's amazing that we have this situation.
01:28:30.000 By the way, Matt Stoller, I think, had a great tweet about them naming Janet Yellen to Treasury
01:28:34.000 Secretary.
01:28:35.000 He's like, finally the octogenarians of the Democratic leadership are passing it along
01:28:39.000 to the younger subtuagenarians.
01:28:43.000 But seriously, I don't think that he can manage that situation.
01:28:45.000 If he does, we can all raise our hands and say, hey, thank God for Joe Biden.
01:28:51.000 But I just think that this is not a moment that demanded this.
01:28:54.000 It's a moment that demanded a lot more leadership.
01:28:57.000 Let me read the beginning of this ad.
01:28:59.000 talking about calling it's calling on Trump to declare martial law and they
01:29:02.000 say on June 12th 1863 Lincoln defended his extreme measures and a letter
01:29:07.000 published in the New York Times citing article 1 of the Constitution he argued
01:29:10.000 ours is a case of rebellion in fact a clear flagrant and gigantic case of
01:29:15.000 rebellion and the provision of the Constitution that quote the privilege of
01:29:19.000 the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of
01:29:23.000 rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it is the provision which
01:29:27.000 specifically applies to our present case.
01:29:29.000 Lincoln used the same reasoning in justifying a series of extraordinary presidential orders.
01:29:35.000 You know, I would encourage people to, I think Lincoln had a very different context than the current moment.
01:29:43.000 It literally had seven states secede from the Union.
01:29:45.000 Yes, I mean I just don't think that we're going to, and we shouldn't pretend that we are, but what I do think is we
01:29:52.000 invest way too much in our politicians than we have as a nation for far too long.
01:29:56.000 We define ourselves by who our president is when I think we should be defined by who we are as neighbors and who we are in our communities and what those look like because they're closer to home.
01:30:07.000 But go ahead.
01:30:09.000 I think we need to return more to local-level politics, the way the country was originally founded.
01:30:15.000 There's a C.S.
01:30:16.000 Lewis line though about the dangers of newspapers, you know, the main media of his day,
01:30:21.000 where he says that the problem with them is that they bring all the sorrows of the world
01:30:25.000 to your doorstep every morning.
01:30:27.000 And you focus, I'm paraphrasing, but he basically says, and that dominates your focus as opposed
01:30:35.000 to the neighbor, to the friend, to the place that you can walk to
01:30:39.000 where you can actually make a difference.
01:30:41.000 And that, to me, the sorrows of all the world thing is totally what animates this current dominating
01:30:48.000 leadership factor that says, you know, we need to be everywhere and solving everything
01:30:53.000 in every aspect of every life as the federal government.
01:30:56.000 As opposed to saying, you know, the Chesterfield line, the politicians you care about the most
01:31:03.000 should be close enough to kick.
01:31:04.000 Well, so originally, you know, before the 17th amendment, senators were appointed.
01:31:11.000 They were voted on by the state legislatures.
01:31:14.000 Because we lived in a state.
01:31:16.000 And we were citizens of a state.
01:31:18.000 That was part of a union.
01:31:19.000 So we would vote at the state level, and then things would move on up.
01:31:22.000 Same thing with the Electoral College.
01:31:23.000 We were in the state, we had our electors, we voted for them, then they went, and we trusted them to do the right thing.
01:31:28.000 Now everything is all about the federal government.
01:31:31.000 And you've got Republicans who understand the difference and are like, leave me alone.
01:31:35.000 And the left who thinks we're just one big country, period.
01:31:38.000 They don't understand the point of jurisdictions and states and sovereignty.
01:31:41.000 Yeah.
01:31:42.000 Somewhere, somewhere, uh, some person is doing something that I think is totally wrong from my apartment in Brooklyn.
01:31:48.000 Uh, and even if I've never been to that state or heard of this place before right now, I'm very mad about it.
01:31:54.000 And I'm going to be very loud online to get it to change.
01:31:56.000 Remember when, I think it was, I don't remember exactly what triggered it, but you had that, you know, Beto O'Rourke, you know, heck yes, we're going to take your guns.
01:32:02.000 And then, you know, Biden appointing him.
01:32:04.000 You had that guy who tweeted, what am I supposed to do if they take away my air 15?
01:32:08.000 What am I supposed to do if 13 to 50, what was it?
01:32:10.000 Feral hogs.
01:32:11.000 Was it, was it, was it 13 to 43 or something like that?
01:32:14.000 I don't, I don't know the number off the top of my head.
01:32:16.000 Yeah.
01:32:16.000 Something like that.
01:32:17.000 Yeah.
01:32:17.000 Have you heard the interviews with the guy since then?
01:32:19.000 No, no, no.
01:32:20.000 Oh, they're phenomenal.
01:32:21.000 So some basically, I think it was either Radio Lab or one of these other podcasts dug into,
01:32:26.000 found this guy, interviewed him a couple of times and talked about this very real incident
01:32:30.000 he had.
01:32:31.000 30 to 50.
01:32:32.000 30 to 50, where all of these feral hogs had come into the backyard and he had to run out
01:32:37.000 and shoot his gun to scare them away from his kids who were playing out there.
01:32:41.000 And then what was funny about the podcast is like this this, you know, again, New York based, I think, you know, interviewer starts researching the whole feral hog problem and suddenly discovers that, like, it's a real thing.
01:32:53.000 This is a real thing.
01:32:54.000 It's a huge deal.
01:32:56.000 Lots of people care about it.
01:32:58.000 And it's really controversial in places like Oklahoma.
01:33:00.000 Yeah.
01:33:01.000 And and they live in it.
01:33:03.000 They live in an urban bubble.
01:33:05.000 Yeah.
01:33:05.000 I was having a conversation with someone.
01:33:08.000 There was an argument on Facebook, and these people were arguing about guns and stuff.
01:33:12.000 And the one person's like, it's ridiculous, you know, guns need to be controlled.
01:33:15.000 And I responded with, where I live, I live in the middle of nowhere.
01:33:20.000 Who do I call?
01:33:21.000 No, I have guns.
01:33:22.000 I have many, many guns.
01:33:23.000 And we're elevated.
01:33:25.000 And we have excellent positioning.
01:33:27.000 I made a joke recently.
01:33:28.000 It wasn't a joke.
01:33:30.000 It was like, I didn't know what it was called.
01:33:31.000 I called it a deer sniper tower.
01:33:33.000 And then all of the conservatives who know it's a deer blinds are laughing.
01:33:36.000 And I'm like, I don't know.
01:33:37.000 It's just a tower you shoot from.
01:33:38.000 So I called it a sniper tower.
01:33:41.000 Yeah, deer blind.
01:33:42.000 We actually have, I have several friends including a couple of my employees who hunt feral hogs regularly because they're lots of fun to hunt.
01:33:51.000 But it's a really good example of why we have different laws in different jurisdictions and why a republic makes so much sense.
01:33:57.000 Not a big feral hog problem in Brooklyn or Bay Area.
01:34:00.000 Exactly.
01:34:01.000 And so so if Brooklyn says we're going to have these certain restrictions on certain things, not necessarily guns because the Second Amendment, but let's say they're like, we don't want people riding around on, you know, you know, electric skateboards or whatever, because this thing happens.
01:34:14.000 Well, if you live in the middle of nowhere, like skateboards on an issue, you might have a different law for it.
01:34:18.000 It makes sense.
01:34:19.000 What's happening now is with with the left and Democrats thinking we're just one big country.
01:34:23.000 They're like, everyone should have like no guns, all guns banned.
01:34:25.000 You just need to think of feral hogs the same way that you think of bike lanes.
01:34:29.000 It's a local nuisance for you to deal with.
01:34:34.000 But again, the government that is closest to the people governs best and governs, I
01:34:39.000 think, most honestly.
01:34:40.000 And in this situation, we have nationalized everything with a media that has fewer and
01:34:46.000 fewer outlets across the country.
01:34:48.000 I mean, this year we had reporters on the ground covering the election to the extent
01:34:53.000 that it was happening in 29 states.
01:34:56.000 And that's with an organization of 14 people and a bunch of stringers and freelance contributors.
01:35:05.000 And so frequently, they would run into scenarios where they were on the ground, and CNN would leave.
01:35:12.000 And all of these sort of national places would come in, do a quick hit, and then they would get out.
01:35:17.000 And you saw that most crazily in the Kenosha incident, where you had that New York Times reporter who was there already to cover it.
01:35:26.000 And she told the Daily, you know, I was told by some of the cops they thought it would be worse tonight, so I left and I went home.
01:35:33.000 And so why do we have the footage that we have?
01:35:35.000 Because of outlets that didn't even exist 20 years ago.
01:35:38.000 Because of real journalists.
01:35:39.000 Because of Daily Caller journalists.
01:35:41.000 Because of Town Hall.
01:35:42.000 Because of BG on the Ground.
01:35:44.000 Because of Richie McGinnis.
01:35:45.000 We talked to those people who did that and they're like, those people were leaving at 7pm when it was getting dark.
01:35:51.000 We're like, we're just getting started.
01:35:52.000 And that was the basis for everything that we knew about that situation and we'll obviously figure in Kyle Rittenhouse's trial.
01:36:00.000 Like, that's how the New York Times fails us.
01:36:02.000 That's how these entities fail us.
01:36:04.000 The New York Times did one good thing when they analyzed the video feeds.
01:36:08.000 That was great, okay.
01:36:10.000 But they weren't there.
01:36:11.000 And what they don't tell you is that when we actually had the DC riot crew here talking about it, What we learned from not just that group, which is the Daily Caller group of journalists, but some other journalists who are on the ground too, is that in Kenosha, the rioters had set a dumpster on fire and were pushing it into a gas station.
01:36:31.000 And Kyle Rittenhouse and his group were putting the fires out.
01:36:35.000 And that's why he got attacked.
01:36:37.000 That's why he was chased.
01:36:38.000 That's why some dude fired into the air or whatever.
01:36:41.000 He turned around, returned fire.
01:36:43.000 It was because they were pushing a flaming dumpster into a gas station.
01:36:47.000 We had multiple witnesses on this show tell us that.
01:36:50.000 New York Times doesn't talk about that.
01:36:52.000 It's not in the mainstream narrative.
01:36:53.000 And in the minds of the corporate media, and many people have obviously said this, oh yeah, no, he was like some white supremacist or something like that.
01:37:01.000 And now the Daily Beast is saying, you know, Joe Biden called for unity.
01:37:04.000 They said, you want me to unify with the supporters of white supremacist Kyle Rittenhouse.
01:37:07.000 And it's like, well, you're wrong.
01:37:10.000 This is what I was saying before about the low information side.
01:37:13.000 They don't actually know because there's a variety of reasons.
01:37:17.000 They lie, they're activists, or they just genuinely don't pay attention.
01:37:21.000 Covington, you know, the Covington kids incident is a good example.
01:37:24.000 But what happens when you have people like us that are substantially better informed?
01:37:30.000 Eventually someone's going to be like, we can't just sit back and let dumb people run everything into the ground, crash the plane.
01:37:35.000 Well, but the split that you were talking about before you said the two and you said it was more, I would argue that, you know, basically it's, it's two splits that are significant population.
01:37:45.000 There's a small population of, of elite establishment people who actually run most of the things that happen in the country consistently.
01:37:52.000 And then there is a mass of people who are disaffected.
01:37:55.000 And who can only really be brought in by major moments that animate them to pay attention to politics, which is something that Trump was.
01:38:02.000 Right.
01:38:03.000 And something, I would argue, that coronavirus was in a way that they were manipulated, I think, by media and by big tech to come out and vote for someone who they really didn't know or particularly care for, but were scared into doing for a lot of different reasons.
01:38:17.000 Anyway, setting that aside, that disaffected group is the one that I'm worried about navigating this next period the most.
01:38:24.000 Because they're not the ones, as we were saying before, who know about the pronoun stuff, who know that that's going to impact their work and the future of their kids, who don't have enough engagement, and frankly, who have seen their kids be completely destroyed by this online fake form of education that is, you know, the teachers unions effectively forced on an entire generation of kids, and it's going to have long ranging consequences for them.
01:38:53.000 It looks like the economy or 27 trillion in debt.
01:38:56.000 Now, it looks like early, you know, the Great Depression, how many people got screwed in the Great Depression, a lot of people lost almost Everything.
01:39:04.000 They weren't prepared for it.
01:39:06.000 And if these people are just so checked out, this huge segment of people have their money in mutual funds, and they're just letting a guy move their money around for them, waiting for their retirement check.
01:39:15.000 Dude, if the dollar really crashes, that's the biggest debt we've ever seen.
01:39:19.000 And it's just escalating.
01:39:20.000 They just printed $3 trillion.
01:39:21.000 Now they're talking about doing another $3 trillion.
01:39:23.000 $902 billion relief package going to come out?
01:39:28.000 So that bill, I mean, it is going to be such a mess.
01:39:33.000 It's so hilarious to me how the most bipartisan thing that Washington does is spend money.
01:39:39.000 They spend your money.
01:39:40.000 They love to spend your money.
01:39:41.000 I was on this, it was a think tank gathering, and they were going down the panel of like, you know, what do you expect to come out of the next two years?
01:39:51.000 And I was just like, Are you kidding?
01:39:52.000 They're just going to spend a ton of money.
01:39:54.000 That's all that's going to happen.
01:39:56.000 They're not going to pass anything that fixes anything in any real way.
01:39:58.000 It's just going to be money, money, money.
01:40:00.000 So the fear is if these people aren't prepared and we go through another depression, another stock market crash or whatever could happen, that they go hungry and go insane.
01:40:08.000 Don't live in a city.
01:40:09.000 And then start eating each other, not maybe figuratively.
01:40:13.000 No, no, no.
01:40:13.000 People don't realize.
01:40:14.000 Crying and freezing to death.
01:40:16.000 10 plus million.
01:40:17.000 How many people in the New York metro?
01:40:19.000 13 million?
01:40:20.000 I don't know what it is now.
01:40:21.000 It's changed so much.
01:40:22.000 Yeah, that's true.
01:40:23.000 Well, only about 400,000 to half a million have left, according to much of the different reports.
01:40:30.000 Personally, I think it's more than that.
01:40:31.000 Yeah, you're probably right.
01:40:32.000 And I only think that's going to accelerate based on just the initial stuff that we have from Anvil, the company that does the cards that you use to go into the different buildings.
01:40:41.000 It's like way lower than they expected in terms of people going into office buildings.
01:40:45.000 It's like one-fifth or one-fourth of what they expected.
01:40:47.000 That is technically a good thing because people don't realize what would happen if the supply chain into New York completely shattered.
01:40:54.000 No food and no waste removal.
01:40:57.000 Right.
01:40:58.000 And people would be literally eating each other in a matter of like a week, maybe weeks or more.
01:41:04.000 Even before coronavirus, I would walk out onto the street out of this, you know, beautiful sort of apartment building, and there would be this giant pile of trash.
01:41:14.000 Yeah.
01:41:14.000 Yeah, in Philly.
01:41:15.000 And to me, like, that's one of the reasons, look, I think New York is a great city, OK?
01:41:20.000 One of the greatest cities in the world, if not the greatest city in the world.
01:41:23.000 I would argue a little bit for London as being that.
01:41:25.000 But the experience of, like, the high class people who are spending a crap ton of money to live in this area, Then still have to walk outside and smell that garbage every day.
01:41:38.000 And to be like, I'd rather live in the country where, you know, you walk out and you don't smell.
01:41:43.000 Remember Sandy when it flooded?
01:41:45.000 Lower Manhattan, all the power went out.
01:41:46.000 Oh yeah.
01:41:47.000 And people were skating on the, like the knocked over bus station, bus stands.
01:41:52.000 It was amazing.
01:41:53.000 That was one day.
01:41:54.000 The power was out for weeks, wasn't it?
01:41:56.000 I'm not sure.
01:41:57.000 I remember there were there were two guys staying outside of a bodega with like two by fours and there was a line and they're like one person at a time and I went in and the guy was like the perishables are basically gone like the stuff in the fridge the milk Sorry, but the canned goods you can still buy I was like wow and they'd like like there was no electricity at all and they had guards out in front of the building protecting it and I was like cash only and walk out.
01:42:18.000 That's amazing.
01:42:19.000 You know who got their power turned on first?
01:42:21.000 Who?
01:42:21.000 Upper West Side.
01:42:23.000 It's all those super rich people.
01:42:24.000 They hired the money!
01:42:26.000 Oh, yeah, I mean.
01:42:27.000 Well, the city's basically like, this is where our tax revenue is generated.
01:42:29.000 We better make sure they can keep working.
01:42:32.000 The city will come back.
01:42:34.000 I believe that.
01:42:35.000 But it's gonna take a lot longer than people think it will.
01:42:37.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:42:38.000 But will it come back in a way that we would consider it to be, like, coming back?
01:42:42.000 You know, I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- I think- And I think a large part of that is that people have realized during the course of this period that they can work from places that are a lot nicer, where they have more flexibility, where they can be at a slight remove from people.
01:43:05.000 And I think that that is just ingrained in a way in American consciousness in a way that it wasn't before that allows them to move to new places and say, look, I can find a community of like-minded people and I don't need to Spend as much as I was spending in New York, plus the taxes that they're going to have to raise in order to make up this huge revenue split.
01:43:25.000 Super Chats!
01:43:26.000 Yes.
01:43:27.000 It's about time we ask the audience what they have in mind.
01:43:29.000 What up, audience?
01:43:30.000 So if you are chillin', hit that like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and get your Super Chats in now.
01:43:35.000 We're gonna start going through them.
01:43:36.000 You know, we can't go through everybody as, you know, as often.
01:43:39.000 I say this all the time, but we try to read as many as possible.
01:43:43.000 So let's read some of these Super Chats.
01:43:45.000 Let's see.
01:43:46.000 Gone Fall says, The hearing today in A.R.
01:43:50.000 confirms that legislatures will fight.
01:43:53.000 Also a legislature in A.R.
01:43:54.000 at the end said they had unofficial hearings because no one would let them.
01:43:58.000 They were also sent threats.
01:43:59.000 In A.R.?
01:44:00.000 What was that?
01:44:01.000 A hearing in Arkansas?
01:44:02.000 But there was a hearing in Arkansas?
01:44:03.000 I didn't hear about that.
01:44:03.000 I didn't hear about that.
01:44:04.000 Does he mean Arizona maybe?
01:44:06.000 No, the hearing wasn't in Arizona.
01:44:07.000 It was a Michigan hearing today.
01:44:08.000 Yeah, but there was an Arizona one the other day.
01:44:11.000 I didn't hear about an Arkansas one.
01:44:13.000 Sorry.
01:44:13.000 All right.
01:44:13.000 I got one here, but we got to issue a correction.
01:44:16.000 Raven Writing Desk says, Common Sense died the day the woman won in the courts because a coffee cup didn't have a warning label that said it's hot.
01:44:23.000 I remember that.
01:44:23.000 That's a myth.
01:44:24.000 That's not true.
01:44:25.000 I remember that.
01:44:25.000 So the issue was that a woman was given a cup of coffee that was boiling from McDonald's, and she accidentally spilled it.
01:44:34.000 And what had happened was McDonald's had been warned several times that their coffee was... Too hot.
01:44:41.000 It was too hot.
01:44:42.000 McDonald's said even though people had been injured in the past, the reason they maintained the boiling temperature, which was causing injuries to many people, was because by the time they got to the office, the coffee was cold.
01:44:52.000 So they tell everybody, make the coffee super hot.
01:44:54.000 People had been complaining endlessly and McDonald's said they didn't care.
01:44:57.000 She initially only asked for them to cover the medical bills because what reasonable person expects to be handed a cup of boiling liquid?
01:45:05.000 Because you're gonna drink it, right?
01:45:06.000 She was a passenger.
01:45:07.000 They denied her.
01:45:08.000 They wouldn't give her medical expenses of like $10,000.
01:45:10.000 And she suffered horrific burns.
01:45:13.000 It wasn't like she spilled hot coffee.
01:45:14.000 It was like her skin fell off.
01:45:16.000 And it was in her lap.
01:45:17.000 And so, long story short, she ended up suing and winning a lot more, and then I think she even donated a bunch of it, because it was not about having caution hot on it.
01:45:25.000 It was like, why are you handing boiling cups of water to people?
01:45:29.000 Anyway.
01:45:29.000 I love those mythical, but everyone knows about them stories.
01:45:33.000 They're so good.
01:45:34.000 Urban legend.
01:45:35.000 We got the correction.
01:45:36.000 GoneFall says, I meant to say AZ.
01:45:37.000 Sorry, I always get it mixed.
01:45:39.000 Arizona.
01:45:40.000 So the Arizona thing, one of the things that I think people will learn about coming out of this experience is how The laws that we have on the books only offer for recounts and audits that are automatic at very low thresholds.
01:45:54.000 For instance, in Arizona, it would have had to be under 1,000 votes in terms of a difference for them to have that triggered, and there's not a request process.
01:46:03.000 So this is another one of those things where, in the interim, between this time and the midterm, A lot of states need to look at how we're going to look at and audit, you know, elections that are close, but, you know, maybe have a little bit more of a leeway here for that kind of thing.
01:46:19.000 So someone said to, uh, Mick Hatton says, look at Lin- look at Linward Twitter.
01:46:25.000 It's apparently fake news, I guess, referencing what Bill Barr said.
01:46:28.000 And there's a tweet from it says, time to fire AG Bill Barr.
01:46:31.000 Lies about Dominion.
01:46:32.000 No action on Epstein, Durham, Hunter Biden laptop, or Wiener laptop.
01:46:36.000 A stolen election now being ignored.
01:46:37.000 We need patriots helping Donald Trump if we are to save our country and freedom.
01:46:41.000 I don't agree with that.
01:46:42.000 Perhaps I should have kept my powder dry on Bill Barr until he speaks formally or issues
01:46:46.000 a press release.
01:46:47.000 The AP article is likely propaganda.
01:46:50.000 I know for a fact it contains a number of false statements about Sidney Powell and her
01:46:53.000 investigation we'll see."
01:46:54.000 I don't agree with that.
01:46:56.000 I think that the AP article is probably correct and it is in Barr's character to go to the
01:47:00.000 AP as opposed to some of the other places that he has beef with.
01:47:03.000 But consider he said to this date we have not seen evidence that would have changed
01:47:07.000 And he speaks very carefully and intentionally, so don't, like, cut that out.
01:47:10.000 We didn't actually get to talk about Durham.
01:47:12.000 Did you want to do that at all?
01:47:14.000 We could a little bit.
01:47:15.000 We got super chats to go through.
01:47:17.000 We might have kind of, you know, missed the train on that one.
01:47:20.000 Yeah, so just real quickly, I think that the naming of Durham as a special counsel obviously keeps him protected, makes sure that he has additional time.
01:47:28.000 I also think it's a statement, frankly, of failure in terms of the selection of him that went so slow and never got us the answers during the time that I think it would have mattered when it came to the election.
01:47:38.000 Eve Welcome says Barr has blood on his hands with Ruby Ridge and Waco.
01:47:41.000 His fealty to the constitution and our nation is tenuous at best.
01:47:45.000 This is interesting because, you know, I didn't know this, but I know a bunch of conservatives when I, when I bring up Barr and I'm like, I appreciate, you know, some of the things he said he's, he's, you know, he's been reasonable and they're like, Oh, Barr's horrible.
01:47:57.000 Talking about Waco and, you know, getting the, a lot of, yeah, I don't want to get into the horrific things.
01:48:02.000 He was involved with burning those people alive.
01:48:04.000 Protecting federal agents who killed people, essentially.
01:48:08.000 Things like that, you know.
01:48:09.000 I don't know too much about it, so.
01:48:11.000 Another cog in the machine!
01:48:12.000 Oh man, we got one for Ian.
01:48:13.000 Maybe.
01:48:14.000 Oh my god, this is awesome.
01:48:15.000 It says, Ian, you can be the next superhero we need.
01:48:17.000 Keep up the energy.
01:48:18.000 Hit the gym.
01:48:19.000 Wear a Tim Foyle hat and hang out with Alex Jones and give him hell.
01:48:22.000 Okay, I'm gonna start doing push-ups in the morning.
01:48:24.000 Yes.
01:48:24.000 Thank you.
01:48:25.000 Yes, do it.
01:48:27.000 Eat more protein.
01:48:30.000 I mean, I don't know Durham enough to be... I don't really have a lot of hope for anything coming out of this, but I do think that Barr, without his presence in this administration, the president never would have had a shot at re-election.
01:48:51.000 I think he really turned a corner in a significant way and was an indispensable person in what he was able to achieve.
01:48:58.000 Delta 7 says, this will not push you guys to more secure voting.
01:49:02.000 The experience we have here in Latin America with what you have now, is that once this is accepted, it will only get worse.
01:49:09.000 That's how it begun for us here.
01:49:11.000 Yeah?
01:49:12.000 I've been talking about blockchain voting, like a chicken with my head cut off.
01:49:15.000 I did get, people did contact me with some data on it, which I can read now if you guys want to hear anything.
01:49:20.000 Blockchain voting?
01:49:21.000 Let me see, this guy sent me... Well, start pulling up, I'll read some more.
01:49:23.000 Yeah, I'll pull it up now.
01:49:25.000 Let's see.
01:49:26.000 Delta 7 says, or I'm sorry, Bruh Bruh says, y'all haven't seen anything yet.
01:49:32.000 Secret Service have evidence that will be coming out soon inside info.
01:49:35.000 It implicates Biden and others in DNC.
01:49:37.000 And that sounds very exciting.
01:49:39.000 I would love to see it.
01:49:40.000 Until then, I'm gonna, you know, I can't operate on what I haven't seen and no evidence, so.
01:49:46.000 Delta 7 says, my impression is that you are trying to play the leftist game but do not understand how they operate.
01:49:51.000 It's not using logic or reason.
01:49:53.000 We in Latin America did that mistake.
01:49:55.000 They don't play by the rules and they don't care.
01:49:58.000 Well, as long as we're talking about Latin America, you know, one of the dangers that is in Jorge Castaneda's book that talks about mañana forever is that we will become more like Mexico during this period.
01:50:13.000 And I don't mean that as to denigrate Mexico, but basically, historically, you have a situation
01:50:17.000 there where you have the powerful and you have the mob, and the mob appeals to the powerful,
01:50:23.000 asks for answers or redress or essentially to fix their problem, and the powerful use
01:50:30.000 this moment to their advantage, and that just repeats over and over again, and you replace
01:50:33.000 the powerful person with a new person.
01:50:35.000 And part of that has to do with the fact that they have very little civic engagement.
01:50:39.000 They don't have the kind of community organizations that you would traditionally have, and so
01:50:43.000 you end up with a situation where the cartel basically runs the government.
01:50:47.000 Yeah.
01:50:47.000 You know what the cartels are doing now?
01:50:50.000 Starting social media networks?
01:50:51.000 No, no, no.
01:50:53.000 No.
01:50:54.000 The cartels were big in drugs, right?
01:50:56.000 Yes.
01:50:56.000 We started legalizing some of those, so you know what they're trafficking now?
01:50:58.000 Kids.
01:50:59.000 People.
01:51:00.000 Avocados.
01:51:01.000 Avocados?
01:51:01.000 No joke.
01:51:02.000 Avocados.
01:51:03.000 It's all about the money.
01:51:04.000 It's not about, you know, illegal.
01:51:06.000 It's like, can we make money?
01:51:07.000 Well, the avocados are where it's at.
01:51:09.000 My favorite brief Biden attempt to reach out to Hispanic voters, which failed so magnificently, was when the DNC and a bunch of other places were running ads describing Trump negatively as a cordial.
01:51:26.000 A strongman, okay?
01:51:30.000 Now, it includes the idea that he is an untoward strongman, that he is partially criminal or corrupt, but he's also a strongman who gets things done.
01:51:38.000 And they ran a bunch of ads about this, and then they stopped it after a piece in the Washington Post, some op-ed from some reporter who was like, why are you guys doing this?
01:51:47.000 Because lots of people like Cordillos.
01:51:49.000 They like the guy, the strongman in the community who can get things done.
01:51:53.000 So we got one from MK90 Tier 1 asset says, Sour Patch Lids.
01:51:58.000 I'm a Marine stationed in Japan.
01:52:01.000 Would be my date for the Marine Corps Ball 2021.
01:52:04.000 I'm not, I can't assume there is a would you be, but the you isn't there.
01:52:08.000 So I'll just have to leave it to you to message MK90.
01:52:11.000 I appreciate the offer.
01:52:12.000 Thanks for thinking of me.
01:52:13.000 So let me give you some data about blockchain voting.
01:52:15.000 This is something we've talked about.
01:52:16.000 Wait, wait, before we do, we have a super chat that, what just happened?
01:52:20.000 I just had it.
01:52:21.000 Super duper.
01:52:23.000 Oh, okay, there it is.
01:52:24.000 Right.
01:52:26.000 June Seth says, blockchain voting makes absolutely no sense.
01:52:30.000 I was the host of a very popular Bitcoin podcast.
01:52:32.000 I know quite a bit about the tech.
01:52:34.000 You have to be a complete nutter to pursue blockchain voting.
01:52:36.000 Anyway, you were saying, Ian?
01:52:36.000 Okay, so let me pursue blockchain voting for a moment, Tim.
01:52:40.000 This is a real super chat.
01:52:43.000 This was sent to me from someone of mine named Chris in Iowa, and it's a Pretty interesting explanation of how we could use blockchain with our voting system and keep it legit.
01:52:53.000 It reads as follows.
01:52:54.000 At printing time on each ballot, a blockchain is created and burned into the ballot.
01:52:58.000 This would uniquely identify the individual ballot who printed it and who authorized its printing.
01:53:03.000 At the voting precinct, when a voter arrives to vote, the election worker places the ballot into a burner again, which burns another entry into the blockchain, this time identifying the precinct where it was issued and the worker that issued it.
01:53:15.000 The voter completes the ballot and then takes it to a third station where it's scanned and the voter has a chance to review the conclusions on the scan.
01:53:21.000 If they dispute the ballot, they can take it back to the workers who then burn a spoiled ballot entry into the blockchain.
01:53:28.000 If they accept it, the scan of the ballot, then they insert their driver's license or voting ID, which needs to have its own anonymous private key.
01:53:35.000 A final blockchain entry is burned in using the tabulating machine's identity.
01:53:40.000 The voter's anonymous public key and the results that the tabulating... Okay, so a final blockchain entry is burned in using the tabulating machine's identity.
01:53:49.000 The voter's anonymous public key and the results that the tabulating machine came to.
01:53:53.000 Let me stop you right there.
01:53:54.000 Let me finish it because it's almost done.
01:53:55.000 Well, but this is really esoteric.
01:53:56.000 It's going to be hard to... The paper... Well, this is just so it's logged.
01:53:58.000 We can watch it, listen to it again if you have questions and you want to listen to it again.
01:54:01.000 The paper ballot is then stored as normal.
01:54:03.000 So there's three blockchain things that'll be marked.
01:54:07.000 The ballots are still mostly anonymous, but the entire history of the ballot creation, issuance, and scan is burned into the ballot.
01:54:14.000 So what you're saying is you want in-person paper ballots with voter ID laws?
01:54:19.000 Yeah, with a blockchain.
01:54:21.000 Great.
01:54:21.000 Let's do hard paper ballots that must be done in person.
01:54:24.000 And you got to present your ID and not only present, you got to scan it into a machine that verifies on the blockchain.
01:54:30.000 I am down.
01:54:31.000 That is blockchain voting.
01:54:33.000 Wonderful.
01:54:34.000 I agree.
01:54:35.000 Right?
01:54:35.000 You agree?
01:54:36.000 As long as as long as we can actually still I mean, there's still districts where we haven't finished counts.
01:54:40.000 I know California, New York.
01:54:42.000 I mean, it's just it's embarrassing.
01:54:45.000 Yeah.
01:54:45.000 You know, I mean, come on.
01:54:46.000 Are we the leaders of the free world or not?
01:54:49.000 No, we're not.
01:54:50.000 We're not.
01:54:50.000 China is, by the way, because they're totalitarian, muscling the global economy.
01:54:56.000 I mean, you saw, I'm sure, this story the other day.
01:54:59.000 Nike, Coca-Cola, and Apple lobbying against this bill that, you know, bans products produced with slave labor from China.
01:55:07.000 Fascinating.
01:55:08.000 In the New York Times, by the way, they wrote this.
01:55:10.000 I want the United States to be the leaders of the world.
01:55:12.000 Sorry to interrupt.
01:55:13.000 Well, that's, it's good.
01:55:14.000 And we could be.
01:55:15.000 We got our heads up for it.
01:55:17.000 You know, there's just, there's, I think our politicians, I think we have no leaders.
01:55:22.000 You can probably count on one hand the politicians we have in Washington who are actual leaders.
01:55:26.000 I think you're right about that, but I also think there's an additional problem, which is that we have incentivized politicians to become basically hype men for their side of the party.
01:55:35.000 They're influencers.
01:55:36.000 They're influencers.
01:55:37.000 That's it.
01:55:38.000 Exactly.
01:55:38.000 AOC is the perfect example of this.
01:55:40.000 Exactly.
01:55:40.000 And it's not about actually getting anything done.
01:55:43.000 And I think, unfortunately, we have reached a point in politics where anybody who actually is a leader in their community, a significant person in their neighborhood, the kind of people who used to be able to rise up through the ranks, We've totally decentivized it by destroying everybody's family, tearing them up, engaged in the worst kind of identity and personal destruction that I think we've seen in our history.
01:56:07.000 And look, you can compare it back to the founders being nasty to each other in newspapers, but it really doesn't compare to the level of just animus and destruction that can be directed at people today.
01:56:21.000 It's, it's, I wouldn't say, uh, I would, I would absolutely say what we are experiencing with this is not Trump's fault.
01:56:27.000 Trump is a symptom of whatever this is, not the cause of it.
01:56:30.000 But I do believe the future of politics is going to be, you can actually just see it by going to Ocasio-Cortez's Twitter account.
01:56:37.000 It's clapbacks.
01:56:38.000 It's, it's, it's meaningless, mindless, 280 character clapbacks with...
01:56:43.000 It's Nancy Pelosi tearing up the speech.
01:56:45.000 Exactly.
01:56:46.000 So but that's that's kind of an analog old school.
01:56:49.000 What generation?
01:56:50.000 She's she's she's 80 now, isn't she?
01:56:52.000 So so what generation?
01:56:53.000 Is it a silent generation?
01:56:54.000 Oh my gosh.
01:56:56.000 But it's going to be like this, you know, AOC.
01:56:57.000 Did you see that thing she did with the painting where it was like the Green New Deal future?
01:57:02.000 And she was like, and the kids were all excited about being in Congress.
01:57:05.000 That's not what it's going to be like.
01:57:06.000 It's going to be like exactly what you were doing with your silly tweets where you're like, a Republican came in today and I was like, bro, I beat you on Among Us.
01:57:13.000 You ain't got nothing.
01:57:14.000 You were the imposter.
01:57:15.000 Dude, you didn't beat me.
01:57:16.000 You were talking about, I had 400,000 concurrence and people are going to vote for it.
01:57:19.000 They're going to be like, I'm voting for AOC because she won.
01:57:22.000 It's going to whittle down.
01:57:23.000 You know, what's funny is that it's almost like idiocracy, but what idiocracy didn't get right was social media.
01:57:29.000 My judge has been ahead of the curve at every single point in his career.
01:57:32.000 You know that in Idiocracy, Camacho was a wrestler, right?
01:57:36.000 Trump's in the WWE Hall of Fame.
01:57:38.000 We're there, baby!
01:57:39.000 And it's gonna be just literal social media live streams and clapbacks.
01:57:42.000 No policy.
01:57:43.000 Nothing will make sense.
01:57:44.000 They'll pass bills that are meaningless.
01:57:46.000 It's the Green New Deal to help the environment, but it's loaded with critical race theory socialist policy.
01:57:51.000 It doesn't have to be like that, though.
01:57:53.000 It doesn't have to be, but that's where people... Listen, man, look.
01:57:56.000 Look at how people have formed echo chambers on social media.
01:58:01.000 It's remarkable.
01:58:03.000 How people don't know things!
01:58:05.000 I gotta say, it's predominantly a failure of the left, because the right knows what the left is thinking, the left doesn't know what the right is thinking.
01:58:14.000 But man, it's like... I'll tell you a funny thing happened.
01:58:17.000 StickSexAndHammer. He's a great YouTuber. You're familiar with Sticks?
01:58:20.000 Yeah. I love that guy, man.
01:58:21.000 He made a meme. It was really funny. And it was like, he makes these paintbrush memes that are
01:58:26.000 funny. And it's a guy who's got a sickle and hammer or something. He says, I'm just a social
01:58:31.000 Democrat, not a socialist, but hey, you check out this really great books, you know, Karl Marx and
01:58:35.000 stuff and communism is great and all that.
01:58:37.000 So another YouTuber tweeted, so true, and a bunch of exclamation points.
01:58:41.000 And I responded with, so you admit it.
01:58:44.000 Clearly a joke.
01:58:45.000 To any reasonable thinking human being, I don't really think her snarky response to Styx was literally her being like, I'm a communist.
01:58:54.000 But all of the responses from these lefty socialist types were like, I can't believe it.
01:58:59.000 You really think she's confessing?
01:59:01.000 Oh my god.
01:59:01.000 These people have limited ability to think critically.
01:59:04.000 There's no tone in text.
01:59:06.000 They make up their own tone.
01:59:07.000 There were a few people who were like, guys, please stop.
01:59:10.000 He's clearly not serious.
01:59:11.000 It's a meme.
01:59:12.000 Everyone's joking, having a good time.
01:59:13.000 No.
01:59:14.000 The point is...
01:59:15.000 When you make a joke that's that dry.
01:59:17.000 Too much text.
01:59:17.000 But listen, listen, it's not, it's not so much to say that they were all dumb, but that they wanted the snapback fight.
01:59:23.000 They wanted the political issue to be like, oh yeah, well we're going to come at you because my side versus your side.
01:59:29.000 When I was literally just making a snarky dry joke.
01:59:32.000 I used to rail, when I make YouTube videos in like 2007, I was like, dude, text is going to be our downfall as humanity.
01:59:38.000 If we keep texting each other, people leaving these text comments, I'd be like, dude, speak to me with your voice.
01:59:44.000 Use your intonation so I can understand you.
01:59:47.000 And that's where we're at.
01:59:47.000 We're at people with these text storms and you're creating your own tone on what they wrote.
01:59:53.000 And so there's all this miscommunication.
01:59:56.000 So I said this a while ago.
02:00:00.000 You gotta learn from Michael Malice, man.
02:00:03.000 He's a genius.
02:00:04.000 He just kind of rolls with it, and he tweets things, and when people clearly don't get it, he just goes with it.
02:00:10.000 It's hilarious.
02:00:11.000 So I just tweet stuff, and I just don't care anymore.
02:00:14.000 These people... Look.
02:00:16.000 It's better when you don't care.
02:00:17.000 I have to actually put disclaimer, this is a joke, on some tweets.
02:00:21.000 And there was one I tweeted about the election.
02:00:23.000 It was on November 3rd at like midnight.
02:00:26.000 We got these two districts of like 10 and 20 people.
02:00:30.000 And they went for, like together they were for Trump by like six votes.
02:00:34.000 But that was the majority.
02:00:36.000 And so I tweeted, that's it.
02:00:38.000 I'm projecting Trump to be the winner with 0.000000013 reporting.
02:00:45.000 We can now, you know, calmly project Trump is the winner.
02:00:48.000 Congratulations.
02:00:49.000 Okay.
02:00:49.000 Okay.
02:00:49.000 Antifa, you can start writing now.
02:00:51.000 And people were like, whoa, dude, dude, like you're going to get banned.
02:00:55.000 And I'm like, Come on.
02:00:57.000 Like that was such a ridiculous tweet.
02:00:59.000 You actually think?
02:01:01.000 I didn't get banned or anything for it.
02:01:03.000 I guess the people at Twitter, the moderators were like, that one's ridiculous enough for us to recognize.
02:01:08.000 He's not seriously.
02:01:09.000 But the rule was that if you called the election before it was done.
02:01:13.000 So like the moment we got any results, I was like, boom, I'm going to tweet this out.
02:01:16.000 It was funny.
02:01:16.000 The future, I think, of Congress and political leadership does look very bleak at the moment.
02:01:24.000 But one thing that I will say that I'm hopeful about is we're reaching the point where the octogenarians and the septuagenarians have to leave the room.
02:01:32.000 Septuagenarian.
02:01:34.000 And that, to me, is a good sign, just because I think, you know, the degree to which people who are, let's just say, under 50 have more of a role at this point.
02:01:45.000 Some of those younger Gen Xers, some of the older millennials start being in the committee rooms.
02:01:50.000 We gotta do more Super Chats.
02:01:50.000 So being able to see through like big text BS without having to have it explained to
02:01:56.000 them by a much younger aid, I think that does have the potential to make a difference.
02:02:00.000 But we got to get beyond this moment where they're just meme makers and hype men.
02:02:04.000 Do you support term limits?
02:02:06.000 We got to do more super chats.
02:02:07.000 Yeah.
02:02:08.000 Congressional term limits.
02:02:09.000 So I am opposed to them because I think people should kind of have to be able to move people
02:02:16.000 But I do think that we actually should consider age limits maybe for some of our offices.
02:02:22.000 I feel the opposite.
02:02:24.000 And I think that the problem too with With term limits is I would like to see them more as a enacted within the body.
02:02:35.000 So one of the differences between one of the reasons that the Democratic Party representation in the House is so much older than the Republicans is that Republicans several years ago adopted term limits for how long you could be the chairman of a committee.
02:02:47.000 Interesting.
02:02:47.000 So what that did was if you were about to age out and you're no longer going to be the chairman of a committee, why were you, why would you stick around and like be just one of the other members?
02:02:56.000 And so lots of the older members retired.
02:02:58.000 The difference with the Democrats is they never got rid of that.
02:03:01.000 And so you have all these older people who are the chairman of committees, you know, people like Jerry Nadler still hanging around, you know, when they really ought to have been replaced by.
02:03:09.000 And it's why, frankly, they had a bunch of people who were like in their forties and fifties leave to go run for Senate or run for governor over the past several years.
02:03:16.000 Right on.
02:03:17.000 We got 78.26 says, Hi Tim, could your band please do a cover version of the song Lydia Purple by The Collectors or Lydia by Marty Ballin?
02:03:25.000 I bet that it would be awesome.
02:03:27.000 Great suggestions.
02:03:28.000 I like those.
02:03:30.000 Jeffrey Paris says, This new trans issue is like the concept of ancient Roman adoption.
02:03:35.000 Julius Caesar adopted Octavian.
02:03:37.000 The law stated that once adopted, you were a new entity entirely.
02:03:41.000 Anyone who referenced your old identity could be arrested and executed.
02:03:44.000 Wow.
02:03:44.000 History repeats itself.
02:03:47.000 Crazy.
02:03:48.000 Let's see what we got here.
02:03:50.000 William Shellman says, Hey Tim, I live in Germantown, Wisconsin, and there is a protest outside the house of the Wauwatosa Police Chief.
02:03:57.000 There are no reporters at all.
02:03:58.000 It's some sort of BLM thing over a shooting from last year.
02:04:02.000 Wow.
02:04:03.000 Wow, really interesting.
02:04:05.000 Andrew Lantz says, dude, thanks for cutting back on content.
02:04:08.000 Between you, Crowder Shapiro, and Michael Knowles, I had no time to get anything done.
02:04:11.000 P.S.
02:04:12.000 Get Michael Knowles on to explain conservatism.
02:04:14.000 He has a really good take on it.
02:04:16.000 Well, for those that are curious, you can arguably say in some capacity I'm cutting down, but I'm actually doing this to try and increase the amount I can produce.
02:04:23.000 So for those that aren't familiar, today I announced that I'm going to be doing less segments on my individual channel, focusing more on segments on IRL.
02:04:31.000 So actually, What we're basically going to do is we're going to have news stories that I would normally cover, we'll just do on this show with a guest.
02:04:38.000 So it'll be interesting to get their take on a lot of these issues, which we kind of did here with Ben.
02:04:42.000 But the reason why I'm doing that is not because I'm going to be doing less, it's because we're going to be launching a new channel.
02:04:47.000 The way I described it is, at a certain point, doing segments where you talk about what's going on and complain about it and say it's a problem doesn't do enough to solve any of these issues.
02:04:57.000 And what needs to happen is there needs to be cultural development.
02:05:00.000 If all we're gonna get is, you know, AOC, she did Among Us, that stream, got 400,000 concurrent viewers.
02:05:06.000 So all the people who watch her are constantly being inundated with leftists.
02:05:10.000 They're watching these, you know, bread tube types and these socialists, and these younger people are hearing that, and they're developing with these ideas.
02:05:18.000 If you want your political ideas to persist, then you need to be engaging young people in things that they find entertaining as well.
02:05:24.000 So sitting around complaining will get you nowhere in the future.
02:05:28.000 So, the way I described it is, there's a skateboarder who's really good, he's got a mini-ramp, it's a half-pipe, and there's the Gadsden flag painted in the middle of it.
02:05:36.000 When kids watch that, they see the Gadsden flag.
02:05:39.000 They might not know what it is, but they might hear their teacher say, that's a white supremacist symbol, and they're gonna go, what?
02:05:44.000 No way, dude's got that on his ramp, you're crazy!
02:05:47.000 And it's gonna give them some pushback, it's gonna show them there's other things, and these people aren't telling them the truth.
02:05:51.000 Long story short, we're going to do a vlog, we're going to do fun things, we're going to, you know, do science experiments, skateboarding, we're going to do, like, the world's longest grind rail, mega jumps, and just have a good time and have fun.
02:06:00.000 But it's also going to incorporate, to a certain degree, some of the guests we bring on the show to give a more, like, cultural, less political, and just doing fun things that inspire people.
02:06:09.000 Ski ball tournaments.
02:06:10.000 Yes!
02:06:10.000 Passively, you know, board games.
02:06:12.000 Like, we just played a board game called Conspiracy Theory.
02:06:16.000 It was awesome.
02:06:17.000 And it's a trivia game.
02:06:19.000 And I dominated.
02:06:20.000 No!
02:06:21.000 Totally.
02:06:21.000 Barely.
02:06:22.000 Well, Andreas won the first one, and then I won the second one.
02:06:24.000 Oh.
02:06:25.000 When did you guys play?
02:06:26.000 Was it?
02:06:27.000 When did you guys play?
02:06:28.000 Was it last night?
02:06:29.000 Two nights ago?
02:06:29.000 Three nights ago?
02:06:30.000 So one of the questions was, it was, what monster is associated with Silverbridge in West Virginia?
02:06:38.000 And I was like, I know it.
02:06:40.000 Mothman.
02:06:40.000 Because they just watched the movie.
02:06:42.000 Well, I've known about Mothman.
02:06:43.000 He knows conspiracies.
02:06:44.000 I know weird, and I was like, this is amazing, I know so much BS.
02:06:48.000 That'd be a fun game to stream.
02:06:50.000 But it'd be really fun to get, like, Alex Jones and, like, ask him questions.
02:06:53.000 That's one of the questions, he was in the game.
02:06:54.000 He's gonna answer all of them.
02:06:57.000 But wouldn't it be really funny to have a video that's not political, not talking about any of this dumb stuff, it's literally like, Alex Jones, can you answer these conspiracy theory trivia questions?
02:07:04.000 It's like hot ones.
02:07:05.000 Just silly, fun... That is...
02:07:07.000 Great combination of things there, you know?
02:07:10.000 I mean, honestly, like, there could be a Stump Him kind of contest there, basically.
02:07:15.000 He's gonna answer all of them, I know it.
02:07:17.000 For real, no joke.
02:07:18.000 We'll shoot a bunch and then just release them once a week, you know, one a week, just to keep everybody engaged.
02:07:22.000 I love conspiracy theories.
02:07:23.000 But that's just like an idea, I'm not saying it's literally something I would like to do, we'll see what happens.
02:07:27.000 We can drink kombucha at the bar.
02:07:28.000 I'm saying there's funny ideas like that we could do.
02:07:30.000 We have a lot of people who come in and out of this place, and it would be fun to do silly things.
02:07:35.000 Look, it's simple.
02:07:36.000 You've got to make the culture because politics is downstream.
02:07:39.000 You've got to inspire young people to get active.
02:07:41.000 That's something you were talking about.
02:07:42.000 Less reliant on the leader politicians and more reliant on, like, what did you create?
02:07:46.000 What did you do today?
02:07:47.000 What have you done?
02:07:49.000 I don't think that politicians have the narrative power they once did.
02:07:53.000 And I think that there are a lot of other entities that have a lot more narrative power
02:07:57.000 and different avenues to it.
02:07:59.000 And as we're seeing that change, it requires a lot more engagement from the creative folks
02:08:04.000 who may have wanted to stay away from politicizing anything they're doing,
02:08:09.000 but recognizing how much it's taking over everything.
02:08:11.000 I think we have to step forward and see those folks really get an opportunity
02:08:15.000 to tell the stories they want to tell that are fascinating and amazing often
02:08:20.000 and inform us in so many different ways.
02:08:22.000 There's so many people who came to their views about politics from reading science fiction, you know, and reading, you know, Heinlein and things like that and taking away different aspects of it.
02:08:32.000 I think right now we have to recognize that that's way more important than, you know, who's in charge of different entities when it comes to federal government.
02:08:40.000 We're going to be doing events.
02:08:42.000 We're going to be doing frequent events.
02:08:43.000 I don't know how, with COVID, lockdown's getting more and more strict.
02:08:46.000 We'll see how things play out.
02:08:47.000 But we're going to do events.
02:08:48.000 We've got this cool clubhouse thing we're building.
02:08:50.000 It's a skate park.
02:08:51.000 We're doing construction in the back.
02:08:54.000 And we're going to start a brand and we're going to sell merch.
02:08:57.000 Very much so, the idea is to be fun, family-friendly, but very individualist, healthy masculine, you know, I don't want to say conservative, I just want to be like, you know, self-reliant, kind of promote these ideas.
02:09:11.000 Healthy feminine?
02:09:13.000 Absolutely.
02:09:13.000 Absolutely healthy feminine.
02:09:14.000 All these things that are kind of getting washed away because we have this very unhealthy mainstream celebrity apparatus where they only go in one direction.
02:09:23.000 There's gotta be someone who's gonna be like, nah, look, I'll put it this way.
02:09:26.000 I know a bunch of pro skateboarders.
02:09:28.000 Skateboarders are supposed to be the anti-authoritarian, lefty, you know, renegades.
02:09:32.000 Many of them are pro-Trump.
02:09:34.000 They're hitting me up saying, like, I want to send you a bunch of free stuff.
02:09:36.000 I love your content, man.
02:09:38.000 I hope Trump wins.
02:09:39.000 And I'm like, why aren't you telling people that in your skate videos?
02:09:42.000 Why aren't you, like, when you do, not skate videos, but like their vlogs, when they're posting things on Instagram, why aren't you saying, like, here's what I think?
02:09:48.000 Well, I don't want to lose my sponsors.
02:09:49.000 Or, okay, well, I don't care.
02:09:50.000 Because this is who I am.
02:09:51.000 I talk about this stuff all the time, great.
02:09:52.000 I'll make the skate videos, I'll put the Gadsden flag in my skate park, and I'll make a video where you can see it every single time someone does a trick.
02:09:58.000 Is that the don't tread on me flag?
02:09:59.000 Yes.
02:10:00.000 That's a snake?
02:10:01.000 And it's literally like, if you want to talk about opposing fascism and opposing authoritarianism and tyranny, that's what that flag means.
02:10:07.000 Don't tread on me.
02:10:08.000 Exactly.
02:10:08.000 And that's circling back to what you were saying before about the cultural differences when it comes to guns.
02:10:13.000 The number one thing that people need to understand is that You know, the Second Amendment is not about hunting.
02:10:18.000 It is about the relationship between the citizen and the state.
02:10:21.000 But it's it's it's I think the Founding Fathers were a little bit even more broad than that.
02:10:25.000 Yeah.
02:10:25.000 It wasn't just the citizens of the state.
02:10:27.000 It was the citizens and with the state and the Native Americans.
02:10:32.000 Exactly.
02:10:32.000 Exactly.
02:10:32.000 There were instances where when like in the Revolutionary, we ever see the movie The Patriot with Mel Gibson?
02:10:37.000 Of course.
02:10:37.000 Amazing movie.
02:10:39.000 But Militia was forming this, the famous thing was in the end, they're like, Militia was forming the center.
02:10:44.000 They, we, in the Revolutionary War, we needed as much- That movie's so over the top.
02:10:49.000 It's amazing, that's so good.
02:10:50.000 Most Mel Gibson movies are, if you think about it.
02:10:52.000 Well, listen, listen.
02:10:53.000 The Founding Fathers were like, in the Revolutionary War, we needed as many armed and capable individuals to fight for us, which means you need an armed citizenry to defend the state, not just from itself.
02:11:04.000 Because they were fighting.
02:11:05.000 You know, people don't realize, you know, they say, you know, Paul Revere's ride, the British are coming.
02:11:11.000 He didn't say the British are coming.
02:11:12.000 They were British.
02:11:13.000 He said the regulars are coming.
02:11:15.000 Why would you be like, the Americans are coming, like the cops are coming, you know, run or whatever.
02:11:20.000 Have you seen Apocalypto?
02:11:21.000 Yeah, we just watched a couple months ago.
02:11:23.000 So I think that, I just think that film is amazing.
02:11:27.000 I thought it was great.
02:11:29.000 But it also, it goes to that idea.
02:11:32.000 The little village that is this kind of bucolic, you know, sleepy community that suddenly is crushed by, you know, the invader and is totally unprepared for it.
02:11:41.000 The big city.
02:11:41.000 Exactly.
02:11:42.000 And there's so many elements of that that I think you can take into the, you know, about the relationships that citizens ought to have in solving their own problems and being prepared to defend the town, to defend what they value most.
02:11:54.000 And that's essential as Americans.
02:11:57.000 You ever hear of what's it called?
02:11:57.000 The Battle of Athens, I think?
02:11:59.000 Is this when Sparta sieged Athens?
02:12:00.000 a siege no no no no this is a military yes this is the military veteran oh i have heard of this
02:12:05.000 this is fascinating come back from world war ii to find a political machine controlling everything
02:12:10.000 and so they took their guns and they went and they were like nah and then they took over and
02:12:14.000 made sure the votes were cast with the votes that were the votes were all counted properly
02:12:18.000 and ensured the election was done properly yep there was a corrupt political machine
02:12:22.000 controlling the town and they were like nope Crazy.
02:12:26.000 It's a crazy place we live in this America where people are like, nah.
02:12:29.000 You know what?
02:12:30.000 So we have a little thing just to do a little self-promotion.
02:12:34.000 The 1620 Project at The Federalist has been running essays from... 1620 Project.
02:12:39.000 Yes, and it is not designed to re-found America.
02:12:42.000 The founding of America is 1776, but in 1620, obviously 400 years ago, the arrival of the Pilgrims in America, the 400-year anniversary of both the Mayflower Compact last month and in three weeks from today, it'll be the 400th anniversary of Plymouth Rock.
02:13:00.000 And what is so fascinating is this is a group of people who embody in so many ways the things that were essential to the crazy country that is America.
02:13:10.000 They're religious zealots who have to run away from England.
02:13:15.000 They're outcasts of their own community.
02:13:19.000 They gather together and they raise money and they have all these tragedies.
02:13:22.000 They have no idea what they're getting into.
02:13:24.000 They get on this boat, they come across The ocean, you know, within, through the winter, they lose like half of the people.
02:13:32.000 They're totally unprepared for this, and yet they end up making a firm enough ground on that area that we still have people today, there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, even millions some claim, who are descended directly from the people who came over on that boat.
02:13:51.000 And you have to have this combination of courage and commitment and crazy.
02:13:58.000 I'm going to go on a boat for three months.
02:13:59.000 People are going to die on the way there.
02:14:02.000 These are the Martian colonists, man.
02:14:03.000 It's going to be another generation.
02:14:06.000 You know what's really crazy?
02:14:07.000 A lot of people really got to learn American history.
02:14:09.000 We went through, I think, several presidents before we actually got a constitution.
02:14:13.000 So we had the Articles of Confederation for a long time, and the states didn't cooperate, didn't pay taxes, there was constant bickering and fighting, and when they passed the Constitution, I was reading about this just recently, they just, they decided we're gonna do a two-thirds ratification.
02:14:26.000 If the states that, you know, these other states that don't approve of this, they don't have to abide by it, but once they do, we got it, we're done.
02:14:33.000 And that was basically how they were able to get a constitution when the states didn't work with each other.
02:14:39.000 The Federalist Papers were making the case for that constitution, you know, designed to be able to convince people that this was the right thing to do.
02:14:47.000 But it was the anti-Federalists that got the Bill of Rights.
02:14:49.000 Yes.
02:14:50.000 They were like, we don't trust you.
02:14:51.000 Hamilton didn't want a bill of rights.
02:14:53.000 He thought it was unnecessary.
02:14:55.000 Also thought it would restrict government too much.
02:14:58.000 And the arguments of the anti-federalists, including Patrick Henry, were convincing enough to the people that, no, we need to put some things in place that actually restrain government from invading all these areas of life.
02:15:09.000 And boy, were they right.
02:15:10.000 Yeah, man.
02:15:11.000 Not a day goes by the Constitution is shielding us, and people don't realize we have to, seriously.
02:15:17.000 You know, when people swear an oath to the Constitution, it's just a piece of paper, they say, but it is a piece of paper that is a gigantic, golden, mithril shield protecting us from so much evil and tyranny.
02:15:30.000 These people who want to lock down everything in the defiance of science while they go out and party, They're getting away with it in many circumstances.
02:15:37.000 And it's only after the fact, after the courts, that the Supreme Court says, well, the Constitution.
02:15:42.000 But you look at countries in Europe, you look at what's going on with the EU, and there's riots because they're like, stay in your home, you can't leave no matter what.
02:15:49.000 The cops, they swear an oath to nothing.
02:15:51.000 The cops are like, I don't care, the state says you get arrested.
02:15:53.000 You see that video of the woman in Spain getting tased because she brought her grandma or whatever to the hospital for mental illness?
02:15:58.000 They tase her because they have no oath to anything but themselves and their job.
02:16:02.000 Here, you have a constitution to contend with and people who believe in it.
02:16:06.000 It's not a perfect shield because they can go around it and violate the constitution, but like you were saying earlier, a lot of these rule changes to the elections, a lot of things they've done, will be found to be unconstitutional.
02:16:16.000 Absolutely.
02:16:18.000 I love that piece of paper, huh?
02:16:19.000 Let's read some more Super Chats, because we're going a little late on this one.
02:16:23.000 Jacob Bailey says, only 19 bellwether counties have been 100% accurate in choosing the president since 1980.
02:16:29.000 Donald Trump won 18 of those 19 counties in 2020, plus the three bellwether states, which is Iowa, Ohio, and Florida.
02:16:36.000 Trump won those as well.
02:16:38.000 A lot of people, hard to believe Biden won with all of these things.
02:16:42.000 There was a really good comment I saw.
02:16:43.000 I can't remember who it was from.
02:16:44.000 They said, if there was no widespread voter fraud shifting the results and costing Trump the election, then why is it that all of the discrepancies hurt Donald Trump and help Joe Biden?
02:16:57.000 Well, I don't think that we can necessarily say that that's true just because the Biden campaign is not looking for discrepancies that help Donald Trump.
02:17:04.000 But I will say that there are a lot of weird ahistorical elements to this.
02:17:11.000 The recounts in Georgia?
02:17:12.000 We've never seen a recount margin that large for Trump.
02:17:17.000 I mean, again, the people who just say, you can't question this, those are the ones who just disgust me because it's just so ridiculous.
02:17:22.000 The stuff that Matt Brainard's been uncovering is like... Well, I don't know, again, I don't know if any of that is provable, but what I will say is, Questioning the idea that it's destroying democracy to say, hey, some weird stuff happened here.
02:17:37.000 We should probably look into it.
02:17:39.000 Is absurd.
02:17:40.000 That's protecting democracy.
02:17:41.000 That's the opposite of what you're talking about here.
02:17:43.000 That's making sure that, you know, every vote counts.
02:17:46.000 Every vote is equal.
02:17:47.000 My vote for, you know, Zaphod Beeblebrox is just as valuable as a vote for Joe Biden.
02:17:53.000 And it deserves to be counted.
02:17:55.000 It's like when you're playing a game with your friend, and something happens, and you're like, oh, I lost, and then you give them the win.
02:18:02.000 If they didn't see that you lost, but you still tell them, I lost, you won, maybe it's just because it's not a game to these people.
02:18:09.000 We got a good one.
02:18:09.000 Archimedes says, Tim, if you think the Battle of Athens is good, why are you weary of Trump possibly doing the same, ensuring the votes are done correctly?
02:18:17.000 It was a big difference between Trump declaring martial law and then holding a new election.
02:18:22.000 That's what people are calling for.
02:18:25.000 What they're saying here is we need a new clean federal election.
02:18:28.000 That's going to be civil war.
02:18:30.000 Like they say, this guy put out this ad saying to avoid civil war, declare martial law.
02:18:34.000 I'm like, no, that would be literally Trump igniting civil war.
02:18:37.000 The Battle of Athens was a small town.
02:18:39.000 The problem is, and the difficulty, is scale.
02:18:41.000 But I will say, I want Trump to fight tooth and nail to the bitter end, and I want a clean investigation.
02:18:46.000 I want everything to be gone.
02:18:47.000 You know, I want to go through with a fine-tooth comb and figure out if there was... We know that there is evidence of fraud.
02:18:53.000 We know, according to Matt Brainerd, there is evidence of widespread fraud.
02:18:57.000 I'm not saying definitive proof.
02:18:58.000 I'm saying evidence.
02:18:59.000 Signs or indications that a thing occurred.
02:19:01.000 That needs to be investigated.
02:19:02.000 It absolutely has to be.
02:19:04.000 Now, I don't know what Trump can do, and I don't think martial law and declaring a new election is the right thing to do because that would just be civil war, but I was going to bring this up before.
02:19:13.000 Let me ask you.
02:19:15.000 If it's true that some group cheated and all of these widespread anomalies actually are widespread voter fraud to steal the election from the American people, should then Trump stop it by declaring martial law?
02:19:32.000 I just think that we would be in an unprecedented situation if that was something that was provable.
02:19:36.000 But how would you know?
02:19:37.000 That's the issue, right?
02:19:39.000 See, that's the problem.
02:19:40.000 I don't know that we have an entity set up to find that out.
02:19:43.000 And I think that we've discovered an aspect of our voting process that leaves us vulnerable to that sort of situation.
02:19:48.000 So hypothetically, evidence dropped.
02:19:51.000 Or you saw evidence, you knew for a fact that widespread voter fraud, a centralized plan, a group behind it was going to steal the election, and most people don't care because they support Biden.
02:20:03.000 Do you think Trump should declare martial law?
02:20:06.000 I don't think that martial law is the way to go there, only because I think it will set fire to Tinder and turn into a civil war.
02:20:12.000 But I do think there would be other guardrails that would come into place there that would have to adjudicate this.
02:20:19.000 If something like that came out, the Supreme Court, you would have a route to basically going before them.
02:20:25.000 And I think additionally, you would have a situation where in a very closely divided Congress,
02:20:30.000 there are a number of things that they could do, including in the Senate, I think,
02:20:33.000 calling for a federal-based look at recounts within the system, which is actually something
02:20:40.000 that has happened before, albeit in a Senate context, like Senate looking at Senate races,
02:20:45.000 where they actually sent the ballots to Washington to have a full recount there
02:20:49.000 because they didn't trust the state officials.
02:20:50.000 They've already destroyed envelopes, though.
02:20:52.000 And so the so the issue.
02:20:53.000 The problem is the problem is that the ballots are in there already.
02:20:56.000 You know, the place to stop is the place to stop.
02:20:59.000 This was before they got in there because once they get in there, it's so hard to remove But when they tried to sue, they said, no injury in fact.
02:21:07.000 Nothing's happened yet.
02:21:08.000 You can't sue.
02:21:09.000 There's nothing, no harm has been done to anybody.
02:21:11.000 You wait till that, so here's what happens with Sean Parnell.
02:21:13.000 Wait till we do the harm, hold on.
02:21:14.000 No, yes, that's how it works.
02:21:17.000 So with Sean Parnell, and he has this lawsuit about the constitutionality of mail-in voting.
02:21:24.000 Many people are saying if they would have voted beforehand, then the courts would have said, there's no injury in fact.
02:21:29.000 I mean, no harm has come to you.
02:21:30.000 You have no grounds to bring this lawsuit.
02:21:31.000 You have no standing.
02:21:33.000 Because they waited till afterwards, they say, you're too late.
02:21:36.000 You should have sued sooner.
02:21:37.000 Now, in Sean Parnell's instance, he said, I didn't know.
02:21:40.000 We all assumed that this law was constitutional.
02:21:43.000 And then it was only now that we're just finding out, they were going to actually try to amend the Constitution and stopped.
02:21:49.000 This is my opinion.
02:21:51.000 I think they knew it was unconstitutional, and they said, stop trying to amend the Constitution, just ram it through.
02:21:57.000 So here we are now with people suing, saying, hey, wait a minute, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania shot it down, not on its merits, because it was too late.
02:22:04.000 Meaning, it's very likely unconstitutional.
02:22:07.000 That means, what do you think's going to happen if Joe Biden, and he wins partly because of Pennsylvania, In a month from now, they say, oh yeah, by the way, Pennsylvania's election.
02:22:17.000 Yeah.
02:22:17.000 Joe Biden.
02:22:17.000 Yeah.
02:22:18.000 It was all unconstitutional.
02:22:19.000 Should not have been allowed at all.
02:22:20.000 Do you think Trump supporters going to be like rats?
02:22:22.000 We'll try better next time.
02:22:24.000 Or do you think they're going to be like.
02:22:26.000 Yeah.
02:22:26.000 Screaming and angry and demanding something be done.
02:22:29.000 Judges are politicians too.
02:22:30.000 I'll remind you.
02:22:31.000 They absolutely are.
02:22:32.000 Trump still has Twitter.
02:22:34.000 That's the thing.
02:22:34.000 Trump's got four years that he can just command people to go do something and they will.
02:22:39.000 Sauron says, once the electors choose Biden, it won't matter if the votes of the people were fraudulent.
02:22:44.000 Unfortunately, legally, he would be president once the electors cast their belts.
02:22:47.000 Incorrect, good sir!
02:22:49.000 That is not true.
02:22:50.000 He's not president until he's inaugurated.
02:22:52.000 He would be president-elect after January 6th.
02:22:56.000 When Congress holds a joint session to count the electoral votes, at which point anybody can raise objections.
02:23:02.000 By the way, have you, did you go back, uh, ever and look at the objections that were raised after last time around when the Democrats tried to pull that?
02:23:09.000 Oh, they were nuts.
02:23:10.000 They were absolutely insane.
02:23:12.000 And Biden was actually in your, he's in the chair, just like Pence will be this time, um, to, to adjudicate these.
02:23:19.000 And he had, you know, a script that he was reading off.
02:23:22.000 This time around, I wonder if we're going to see the flip side of that with the Republicans doing the same thing.
02:23:26.000 Oh, definitely.
02:23:26.000 And then we now have the Durham probe special counsel, and I think we're going to see the Democrats go through... Oh, totally.
02:23:33.000 And they're going to try, but they will try to defund him, cut him off.
02:23:37.000 I wonder, frankly, if they will try to convince Biden to appoint someone to the AG role who will actually fire him.
02:23:47.000 Perhaps, perhaps.
02:23:48.000 Because that could be interesting itself.
02:23:50.000 Well, my friends, we went a little bit long.

02:25:14.000 I think that's important.
