Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Facing 25th Amendment REMOVAL But Kamala UNFIT Say Voters w-Delano Squires

00:00:00.000 So a couple days ago, 25th Amendment was trending on Twitter.

00:00:25.000 And considering the ongoing chaos that is the Biden administration right now, many people are still wondering if this is the moment That they finally hand off the mantle to Kamala Harris, because everybody expected it.

00:00:38.000 You know, even before the election, everybody was like, how long is Joe Biden gonna last?

00:00:42.000 And then a bunch of people said, you know, as much as I want to believe he wouldn't last a term, he'll probably make it to the end of a term, and then maybe he won't run a second term.

00:00:49.000 And then there was a period where he said he wasn't gonna run a second term, and then he's like, no, no, I'm gonna run a second term.

00:00:54.000 And so now...

00:00:56.000 You've got the White House Chief of Staff not doing interviews.

00:00:59.000 Kamala Harris not, you know, saying she doesn't want to be talking about this stuff.

00:01:03.000 Joe Biden does one interview where he apparently lies left and right.

00:01:07.000 And this is just, I mean, it's just absolute chaos what we're seeing.

00:01:11.000 You've got analysts coming out.

00:01:12.000 You've got former military saying that here's what could have been done in Afghanistan.

00:01:15.000 They don't understand how it's gotten so bad.

00:01:17.000 So, Is this the moment where Joe Biden resigns in disgrace or they invoke the 25th Amendment and Kamala Harris steps up?

00:01:25.000 No, probably not.

00:01:27.000 And there's a new poll showing that 55% of the country believes she's unfit anyway.

00:01:32.000 But then what?

00:01:33.000 Nancy Pelosi?

00:01:35.000 Then what?

00:01:36.000 I have no idea.

00:01:37.000 This is what happens when people vote.

00:01:40.000 They didn't vote for the lesser of two evils.

00:01:42.000 They literally just voted against.

00:01:45.000 They didn't vote for anything.

00:01:46.000 I'm like, even when you're voting for the lesser of two evils, you're still assuming that the lesser is somewhat better for some reason.

00:01:52.000 He was literally just a body.

00:01:52.000 But Joe Biden wasn't.

00:01:54.000 The Atlantic wrote that article.

00:01:56.000 Stay alive, Joe Biden.

00:01:57.000 All we need is your corporeal form.

00:01:59.000 So when It's Donald Trump.

00:02:01.000 People said, I will take literally anything.

00:02:02.000 I'll take a ham sandwich.

00:02:04.000 And what do you think happens when you put a ham sandwich in charge of a withdrawal from Afghanistan?

00:02:08.000 Joe Biden knew what he was getting into.

00:02:10.000 He said he wanted to run for this.

00:02:11.000 So we got problems.

00:02:13.000 We'll talk about this, though.

00:02:14.000 We also got news on the vaccine front.

00:02:16.000 Obviously, these mandates are spreading. 0.99

00:02:17.000 They're hitting schools.

00:02:18.000 Oregon now is mandating it for teachers.

00:02:21.000 I'm getting messages from teachers saying they're going to be quitting.

00:02:24.000 I'm getting messages from truck drivers Saying they're done.

00:02:27.000 Because they're not going to risk going into cities where they can't use services or facilities unless they have a vaccine.

00:02:32.000 It sounds like this is just a big recipe for disaster.

00:02:35.000 But we'll get into all this stuff.

00:02:36.000 We are hanging out with Delano Squires.

00:02:38.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:38.000 Good.

00:02:46.000 Regular contributor on Fearless with Jason Whitlock.

00:02:49.000 I've been writing for public consumption for over 10 years.

00:02:53.000 Started off with Black and Married with Kids. 0.94

00:02:55.000 and went to the root in the griot couple years back made a transition started writing for the federalists

00:03:07.000 and uh...

00:03:09.000 i'm a dad husband

00:03:17.000 Yeah.

00:03:17.000 It's a big jump.

00:03:18.000 It is.

00:03:19.000 Probably the only person in the country who can say they've written for the root and the blaze.

00:03:23.000 But it's, you know, it's because you learn, right?

00:03:25.000 Yeah.

00:03:26.000 Yeah.

00:03:27.000 And I mean, I think a lot of the issues that we talk about are issues that can be come at You know, from a number of different perspectives.

00:03:33.000 And I tend to write a lot about family and faith and education and social issues, issues in the black community.

00:03:42.000 But I'm trying to approach them oftentimes from a biblical Christian worldview.

00:03:46.000 So, you know, that's my story.

00:03:48.000 Cool.

00:03:48.000 Right on, man.

00:04:05.000 I'm a big fan.

00:04:05.000 Amazing.

00:04:07.000 How old's the kid?

00:05:06.000 Let's get into this.

00:05:06.000 Let's get into the failures of what's going on.

00:05:08.000 And I'm not going to dwell too much on the 25th Amendment, but I did pull this article I find very funny.

00:05:13.000 It's from Vanity Fair's Hive.

00:05:15.000 They said, Republicans who stood by a presidential lunatic are now demanding Biden be removed via the 25th Amendment.

00:05:22.000 They were fine with Trump trying to overthrow the U.S.

00:05:24.000 government, but insist Biden must go.

00:05:27.000 I really love the framing because I don't think anyone was fine with Trump overthrowing the government.

00:05:32.000 I think that's just a very unfair way to look at what was happening.

00:05:36.000 But let's move forward to why Joe Biden's being criticized in the first place.

00:05:40.000 We're going to talk more about what's going on with Afghanistan.

00:05:43.000 Biden versus reality from the Daily Mail.

00:05:46.000 President falsely stated that the U.S.

00:05:48.000 has no troops in Syria when there are 900, and the Afghan military had 300,000 troops in a series of lies and bungled statements in an ABC interview.

00:05:57.000 Biden said there was no way to leave Afghanistan without chaos ensuing.

00:06:00.000 But six weeks ago, he said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely.

00:06:04.000 He said the U.S.

00:06:04.000 doesn't have a presence in Syria, but 900 troops remain.

00:06:07.000 The president took questions from the media for the first time in over a week on Wednesday in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

00:06:14.000 Yeah, but was he actually making himself available to all press?

00:06:18.000 In one bizarre moment, Biden seemingly brushed off Afghani stowaways so desperate to flee, they clung to departing U.S. 0.53

00:06:24.000 plane before falling to their death.

00:06:26.000 And now we've got the White House chief of staff, who apparently is not doing interviews, but is getting criticized because he's tweeting a bunch of far leftists on social media.

00:06:33.000 You got Jen Psaki on vacation, Kamala Harris says I don't want to be talking about this stuff.

00:06:37.000 Man, what's going on with this administration, dude?

00:06:41.000 Not enough, but too much.

00:06:42.000 So that's a good way to put it.

00:06:45.000 I mean, this week has been rough for the Biden administration and just us as, you know, as a country, regardless of how you feel about the war, a lot of people feel like, you know, one, we should have gotten out of there, but not in the way that we left and certainly shouldn't, uh, have left people who helped us, uh, behind, but even more importantly, definitely not leaving Americans behind.

00:07:04.000 So, um, that's the craziest thing.

00:07:07.000 Yeah.

00:07:08.000 We've got 15,000 Americans still in Afghanistan.

00:07:11.000 And this is one of the things I kind of, you know, when Biden said that, I think it was Biden who said this right in the interview with ABC that there's 15,000 Americans that are still there.

00:07:20.000 They can't get them out because they can't get to the airport.

00:07:22.000 And that kind of like, I had this moment where my heart kind of went like, boom, boom, like big, because I was like, You know what's going to happen in the next couple of months.

00:07:30.000 The Taliban's not going to be like, oh American, right this way.

00:07:33.000 We've got an escort for you.

00:07:34.000 They're going to be on your knees.

00:07:35.000 And we're going to start seeing videos of this stuff.

00:07:38.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:07:41.000 I'm hoping the Taliban is more scared.

00:07:43.000 Of losing any kind of international recognition, which I don't think they're going to get in the first place.

00:07:48.000 And considering the stuff we're already seeing out of there, it really does feel like they might try to be like, no, no, Americans, we're being peaceful, you can go.

00:07:56.000 But I don't see them getting the recognition.

00:07:59.000 I guess one of the things they're saying now is that the U.S.

00:08:01.000 has accepted Saudi Arabia, and they basically want to do the same thing.

00:08:04.000 So what's the problem?

00:08:05.000 Hmm.

00:08:06.000 I don't know, though.

00:08:07.000 You know, I think there may be some hope in that they're scared of the US still.

00:08:11.000 And so they're like, just get the Americans out of here. 1.00

00:08:13.000 But 15,000?

00:08:15.000 How many of them might be contractors?

00:08:16.000 Yeah.

00:08:17.000 How many of them may have crossed the Taliban in some way?

00:08:19.000 And they're going to be like, not this one.

00:08:21.000 And then we start seeing these videos.

00:08:22.000 So why didn't the Biden administration Hard mandate evacuate Americans before the withdrawal.

00:08:29.000 You know they left Bagram Air Force Base in the middle of the night?

00:08:31.000 They just ran out?

00:08:32.000 Left everything?

00:08:34.000 The conspiracy theory is that they wanted to make it such a poorly executed withdrawal that it makes people want to go back.

00:08:41.000 You see how horrible it was?

00:08:42.000 It makes people want to go back in later.

00:08:44.000 They're sending in more troops.

00:08:44.000 They're doing it.

00:08:46.000 Whether or not it's intentional, but it's really, really mad.

00:08:49.000 Dude, watching the people fall from the airplane was really, really guttural because I remember watching the people fall from the World Trade Center.

00:08:56.000 They were hanging out the window and they jumped out because they didn't want to burn to death. 1.00

00:09:01.000 And it's like bookends to this stupid 20 years. 1.00

00:09:05.000 That's crazy, dude. 1.00

00:09:06.000 All to get Osama Bin Laden, and they invaded the country. 0.99

00:09:09.000 Like, what?

00:09:10.000 It obviously wasn't to get Osama Bin Laden.

00:09:12.000 They didn't have to invade the country to do that.

00:09:14.000 Yeah, someone should ask Bush what's going on.

00:09:16.000 There's a really great meme where it's, uh, three Spider-Man.

00:09:20.000 You know the two Spider-Man meme?

00:09:21.000 It's three, and it says, you know, like, Biden, Trump, Obama, and they're all pointing at each other, and George W. Bush is painting the picture.

00:09:21.000 Yeah.

00:09:29.000 Dick Cheney, really.

00:09:30.000 He ran the military at that point.

00:09:32.000 He put Halliburton in his company.

00:09:34.000 What was his role?

00:09:35.000 Halliburton was either chairman of the board or the CEO or something.

00:09:38.000 I'll give Biden this respect because he said this in his speech that he didn't want to pass this failure off to the next presidency because that's what Obama did.

00:09:47.000 Obama got it from W. Bush and he promised he was going to end all of this stuff and instead we got more troops.

00:09:53.000 And I think one of the big reasons was he didn't want it to happen under his name.

00:09:58.000 He didn't want the failure to be on him.

00:10:00.000 He passes it off to Trump.

00:10:01.000 Trump says, OK, we're drawing down.

00:10:03.000 I mean, it wasn't it was only it was Bush, Obama, Trump.

00:10:07.000 So Obama receives the you know, he inherits this war and then it just keeps going.

00:10:11.000 He keeps it going.

00:10:12.000 Trump inherits it and says, we're ending this now.

00:10:14.000 We should have ended it a long time ago.

00:10:16.000 Biden says, you know what?

00:10:17.000 I'll follow through. 0.69

00:10:19.000 He screwed it up.

00:10:20.000 Bad.

00:10:21.000 Real bad.

00:10:22.000 But do you think Obama didn't want the failure to be on him?

00:10:26.000 Or do you think he was afraid that if he pulled out of Afghanistan, we may end up getting an attack on our soil, so he'd rather fight them there than fight them here? 0.63

00:10:36.000 I don't believe that because there was this report came out a long time ago that said one of the main drivers of terror in the U.S.

00:10:43.000 is what the CIA called blowback.

00:10:45.000 That the U.S. 0.57

00:10:46.000 operations in the Middle East over the past several decades had created the anger and animosity which resulted in the targeting of the U.S.

00:10:53.000 So with like the U.S.

00:10:55.000 funding of the Mujahideen and then meddling in these countries and Iran and things like that, you end up with groups saying they're going to come after us.

00:11:01.000 Staying in Afghanistan I suppose it makes sense, though, because they're so preoccupied fighting us over there, they don't come over here. 0.90

00:11:09.000 But I think that we had the Patriot Act.

00:11:11.000 We buffed up our security.

00:11:12.000 We locked everything down.

00:11:13.000 To still then be worried about it just goes to show the security measures were probably pointless.

00:11:18.000 So one thing that this entire saga, particularly over the last week, has made me think about, and I hope it makes other Americans think about, is that democracy is not the natural order of things.

00:11:32.000 It's not everyone's default.

00:11:34.000 It doesn't necessarily work in all parts of the world at all times with all people.

00:11:40.000 And I hope it's made Americans rethink what we call oppression.

00:11:45.000 Because real desperation looks like somebody hanging on to the landing gear of a cargo plane from Afghanistan to wherever they were going.

00:11:55.000 Not, you know, some Hollywood actress who's pampered, who, you know, somebody writes the wrong name on their Starbucks cup and they say, oh my gosh, I'm so depressed.

00:12:04.000 Or not some athlete who sees a police shooting 4,000 miles away and they don't have the facts and they say, oh, my people are so oppressed.

00:12:14.000 Because when life really gets that difficult, you see what desperation will drive people to.

00:12:21.000 And I hope it makes us reassess how we use language.

00:12:25.000 I'm tired of living in hyperbole nation where everything has to be catastrophized.

00:12:29.000 It's like, no, we can deal with our issues.

00:12:31.000 Without using the same words to describe light inconveniences here that other people use to describe actual tyranny over there.

00:12:39.000 Yeah, absolutely, dude.

00:12:40.000 Right on.

00:12:41.000 I mean, so many people in this country think that every slight offense is the apocalypse.

00:12:45.000 They got to film it.

00:12:46.000 Someone, someone said a naughty word to me on the street.

00:12:49.000 It's like in this country, some dude was like fleeing for his life and, you know, gripped to a plane.

00:12:54.000 Yeah.

00:12:54.000 You want to know the craziest thing about that?

00:12:57.000 Uh, that dude on the plane, he was 19 years old.

00:12:59.000 Wow.

00:13:00.000 Yeah, it's got the two people who fell one of them was a 19 year old kid from Afghanistan and you want to know why that's

00:13:00.000 There are multiple people.

00:13:06.000 Crazy, he's younger than the war. Yeah, he does not know a world in which the Taliban was Afghanistan

00:13:11.000 He was born into this country under US occupation. He grows up in that system and then overnight

00:13:18.000 overnight within a month it was It was like a one month collapse, we saw this going down.

00:13:23.000 And then really escalated at the very end in the past few days.

00:13:25.000 And all of a sudden you've got Islamic militants, something he doesn't understand and never lived under, saying, it's this or else. 0.93

00:13:34.000 So he was like, get me on that plane.

00:13:36.000 Yeah, I'll take the or else.

00:13:37.000 You know, a lot of people pointed out that these are fighting age young men who should have stayed and fought.

00:13:43.000 I think that's, I think it's half true.

00:13:45.000 It is true they're fighting age young men.

00:13:46.000 They should have stayed and fought.

00:13:48.000 The problem was, you know, I was reading this op-ed.

00:13:50.000 They said a couple things.

00:13:51.000 There's two different ones.

00:13:52.000 The Biden administration pulled air support.

00:13:55.000 As soon as they lost, that was the centerpiece of the military strategy, so the Afghan security forces were like, what do we do now?

00:14:01.000 It was maintenance, I guess.

00:14:02.000 We have no way to maintain our air force because we don't know how to do this.

00:14:05.000 And the other was, they abandoned Bagram overnight.

00:14:09.000 And so all of a sudden, the security forces are waking up one day with nothing, and they're like, that was an abrupt, massive shift overnight.

00:14:17.000 So all of a sudden, they're overrun.

00:14:19.000 They don't got the ammo, they don't got the support.

00:14:21.000 Yeah.

00:14:23.000 These people do not care about civilian life.

00:14:25.000 They don't even care about their own military life.

00:14:28.000 They got us into a war recklessly and got us out of the war recklessly.

00:14:32.000 So many hundreds of thousands of people have died, their families have been tarnished.

00:14:36.000 This 19 year old kid probably knows somebody that I think it's for money.

00:14:43.000 I think it's for opium.

00:14:45.000 I think that's why they did that, is for drugs and oil.

00:14:50.000 I wouldn't make it so specific.

00:14:52.000 I'd just say power.

00:14:52.000 That opium trade blew up in the last two decades.

00:14:57.000 I agree.

00:14:58.000 But the way I would phrase it is, I don't think they're looking at their, like, you know, their bottom line in calculating opium.

00:15:05.000 I think they're just like, what's the money?

00:15:06.000 Right.

00:15:07.000 You know, I don't care what you're doing.

00:15:09.000 A person is worth $100,000 each.

00:15:11.000 Peds, civilians, pet ants are worth $60,000 each. 0.70

00:15:15.000 So if we kill 3,000 of them, that's, you know, $1.8 million. 0.82

00:15:20.000 But we're going to make $60 million in heroin. 0.98

00:15:22.000 So easily that's a good deal for us.

00:15:24.000 Plus, All the opportunity costs that's gone when you don't have to feed people.

00:15:29.000 I mean, it's terrifying.

00:15:30.000 That's what governments have been doing, is deciding who lives and who dies.

00:15:34.000 But when they become aggressive, then they create situations where they have to make that choice.

00:15:38.000 But they created that situation.

00:15:42.000 This is like a deep spiral into madness for me.

00:15:46.000 We're out though, you know what I mean?

00:15:47.000 So as much as I can be really upset with the images we're seeing and now the potential of these 15,000 Americans, I still think it was right to get the troops out. 0.99

00:15:56.000 And so it's a challenge because if you knew beforehand that Biden was a moron, and we did, And that this would probably be seriously screwed up, and we could all assume that. 0.98

00:16:07.000 Would we still do it? 0.99

00:16:09.000 And... I think the answer is yes.

00:16:12.000 However, I think there would have been... There had to have been some kind of... I don't know, man.

00:16:19.000 How did he not listen to any... Like, his intelligence was bad?

00:16:22.000 It's chaos?

00:16:23.000 So...

00:16:25.000 It's a tough question.

00:16:26.000 Everything we're seeing right now.

00:16:26.000 Yeah.

00:16:28.000 I'm curious as to how this experience in the last 20 years, how they will reshape our politics, both domestically and our foreign policy.

00:16:40.000 I'm curious as to, you know, what America's role on the national stage, what role we want to take in terms of nation building.

00:16:49.000 You know, as the world's policeman, I wonder what the appetite will be for that from either political party.

00:16:55.000 I think this could be the beginning of the end.

00:16:59.000 We got, we got what, like 25K troops in Korea or, you know, a certain amount in Japan.

00:17:04.000 We got soldiers in Germany.

00:17:05.000 How long until all this we're seeing results in Americans just being like, we shouldn't be doing this.

00:17:13.000 So if we really do see like a red wave backlash to Biden, that results in Trump coming back in or someone like Trump.

00:17:20.000 Trump was saying, get our troops out of Germany.

00:17:21.000 Like, why do we got troops in Germany?

00:17:23.000 Germany's fine.

00:17:23.000 That makes no sense.

00:17:24.000 They can handle their own security.

00:17:26.000 What happens when we get a Trump who's just like, how many of you think we should be focused on America first?

00:17:30.000 And then you get people just screaming, yes, because we're sick of this foreign intervention stuff.

00:17:35.000 And then what happens?

00:17:36.000 I don't know.

00:17:38.000 Because I mean, it's easy to say that you bring the troops home.

00:17:41.000 Everybody says, yes, we can focus on our domestic problems.

00:17:43.000 But as you see, whether it's the influence of China or other countries growing in other areas people start to say okay These other countries are not doing the same thing.

00:17:54.000 They are definitely globalists.

00:17:55.000 They want to control parts of Africa and the Caribbean Latin America, what is America going to do and how would we feel as a country if?

00:18:05.000 China let's say China's influence grows to the point where they are basically everywhere But you know Mexico US and Canada is that something that our politicians would want to live with? 0.99

00:18:17.000 It's easy to talk about, you know, sort of a non-intervention as a, you know, political exercise.

00:18:24.000 But again, when you see the influence of those countries growing, whether China or Russia, whoever it is, is that something that we can live with?

00:18:32.000 This is the big challenge.

00:18:33.000 So I usually err on the side of anti-intervention.

00:18:37.000 We should mind our own business.

00:18:38.000 We should be building up roads in America.

00:18:39.000 We should be doing these things because those are the first, the immediate, and the obvious problems to address.

00:18:46.000 But then I'll remind everybody.

00:18:48.000 I'm not trying to say it's right to invade other countries.

00:18:51.000 Not at all.

00:18:52.000 But keep in mind.

00:18:54.000 During the Cold War, you had the expansion of communism.

00:18:57.000 This is despotic authoritarianism.

00:18:59.000 They were massacring people.

00:19:01.000 I mean, you look at what's going on, what happened in Cambodia, you look at what happened in Southeast Asia, all across these countries, it was a nightmare.

00:19:08.000 And so the U.S.

00:19:09.000 was, their mentality, it wasn't just blindly like, we're gonna go steal money.

00:19:13.000 It was like, if we sit back and the communists keep expanding, because they're militaristic, they're taking over.

00:19:22.000 In 20-30 years, it will be impossible to stop them.

00:19:25.000 We either confront them now, or in 30-40 years, they surround us on all sides, look at us and say, now you're done.

00:19:34.000 And then they control our trade, they influence us, and then we fall to them.

00:19:38.000 So the Americans didn't want to do it.

00:19:40.000 Now with Afghanistan, it's not the same thing. 0.73

00:19:42.000 It's not like China's literally gonna, you know, it's not like, you know, Communist Russia's massive expansion.

00:19:48.000 But China does, they are working with the Belt and Road Initiative.

00:19:51.000 They are expanding.

00:19:52.000 So it's probably more strategic.

00:19:54.000 And therein lies the scary question.

00:19:56.000 If the U.S. doesn't have any kind of international presence, do we just wait until China surrounds us?

00:20:02.000 So so ultimately, I just add one more fun final point to that. The U.S. was expanding and

00:20:06.000 surrounding everybody else. They viewed us the way we view them right now. Interesting.

00:20:11.000 The the way you described it as you were talking about, you know,

00:20:16.000 Russia's expansion, I said that's the culture war we're fighting. 1.00

00:20:21.000 The The groups that are influenced by Marxism and leftism of one sort or another are always looking for territory to capture.

00:20:32.000 And unless, you know, there's pushback from everyday citizens and a lot of people look to the Republican Party, I don't know that they are astute enough to understand the game that's being played.

00:20:42.000 I say that because oftentimes they mouth the same slogans, they chant the same things, they seem to have the same worldview, they don't understand how they're being used.

00:20:51.000 And unless there is a pushback in 20-30 years, There will be no space left.

00:20:58.000 Everybody will either have to be, you know, trading Bitcoin and doing uncancellable jobs, right?

00:21:04.000 So if you, you know, if you trade options or if you are investing, it doesn't really matter what your politics are.

00:21:12.000 But if you have a job in the private sector and you're one of the people who says, no, I don't want to fly the flag.

00:21:18.000 I don't want to put up the state party's official slogan.

00:21:23.000 You're going to find life very, very difficult for yourself.

00:21:25.000 That's a good point, actually, trading, you know, because it's just you log in.

00:21:30.000 But then what happens when your bank bans you?

00:21:32.000 That's true.

00:21:32.000 When your credit card shuts down and where your social credit score drops below a certain level.

00:21:37.000 Yeah, I mean, conservatives better start opening some banks and libertarians. 0.99

00:21:43.000 So I think indicative of a vulnerability in the In a system of centralized banking that any one person would ever have the power to stop other people from banking.

00:21:53.000 I think this is where the vaccine passports are going.

00:21:55.000 Social credit scores.

00:21:56.000 Let me pull up this story we got from the New York Times.

00:21:56.000 I think so too.

00:21:59.000 This is it.

00:21:59.000 CDC data right now.

00:22:01.000 Vaccine effectiveness against infection may wane CDC studies finds.

00:22:05.000 Federal health officials said the new data justified a campaign of booster shots.

00:22:09.000 But some scientists disagreed saying not every American needs another dose.

00:22:13.000 What's the problem?

00:22:15.000 It's just a vaccine, right?

00:22:17.000 Why are you mad, Ian?

00:22:18.000 It's just a little piece of paper.

00:22:19.000 You already got it.

00:22:19.000 You might as well just show it to him.

00:22:21.000 Well... Who cares?

00:22:22.000 It's just an app.

00:22:23.000 You already got a phone with apps on it.

00:22:24.000 Every vaccine is different.

00:22:24.000 Just download the app.

00:22:25.000 Ian, it's just a booster shot.

00:22:26.000 Talk to your doctor.

00:22:27.000 It's just a booster shot, okay?

00:22:29.000 Look, there were four lines on it from the beginning.

00:22:31.000 What's wrong with a second booster shot?

00:22:33.000 Gotta get boosted.

00:22:34.000 Look, some of these people who are not vaccinated are spreading COVID, so we set up a quarantine zone.

00:22:40.000 What's wrong with a quarantine zone?

00:22:42.000 It's just a camp for people.

00:22:45.000 That's the way things roll.

00:22:46.000 So in Australia, they're building the quarantine hub.

00:22:50.000 In the U.S.

00:22:51.000 last year, the CDC announced shielding.

00:22:54.000 We have talked about it before.

00:22:55.000 We didn't talk about it last show.

00:22:57.000 And then people reminded us that the CDC proposed their shielding plan, which would create camps for people who are at risk.

00:23:05.000 It's like, I'm pretty sure the unvaccinated people are at risk.

00:23:07.000 I mean, look, if you talk to your doctor about what makes sense for you.

00:23:10.000 But I think, I honestly don't think the vaccine passports are really what it's all about.

00:23:15.000 I think it's about getting you to download the app and then them having the tracking and requiring the ID for you to get into a building.

00:23:21.000 Interesting.

00:23:23.000 You get your smart I.D.

00:23:24.000 things coming up with those R.F.I.D.

00:23:25.000 chips on it.

00:23:26.000 I definitely think they're trying to centralize and control and spy on.

00:23:31.000 Is that the right word?

00:23:32.000 Observe your behavior.

00:23:34.000 So you can't commit crime.

00:23:34.000 They are.

00:23:36.000 Your phone is spying on everything you do, man.

00:23:37.000 It's crazy.

00:23:38.000 Yeah, it's really weird.

00:23:39.000 And they can.

00:23:40.000 I mean, the satellite tech is getting really good, too.

00:23:42.000 They can listen to you through from space.

00:23:44.000 Wow.

00:23:45.000 Listen through your walls and stuff.

00:23:47.000 I don't know if that's common, but... With lasers?

00:23:50.000 Maybe, yeah.

00:23:51.000 I don't know what kind of radio waves they fire.

00:23:53.000 Well, so, look, I'll say it again.

00:23:57.000 We've had a lot of conservatives on the show and the media accuse them all of being anti-vaxxers.

00:24:01.000 It's not true.

00:24:01.000 A good portion of them have been vaccinated and talk about why they thought it was a good idea for them.

00:24:05.000 Many of them are having to be older, so...

00:24:07.000 You go and talk to your doctor and you figure it out.

00:24:09.000 And we had Kurt Schlichter on the show.

00:24:11.000 His doctor was conservative.

00:24:12.000 He talked to him in one of the numbers.

00:24:13.000 He made the choice for him.

00:24:14.000 And that's what I'm all about.

00:24:15.000 I'm about informed consent.

00:24:17.000 But now we're being told he's got to have booster shots, right?

00:24:19.000 So when you combine that with the four cities that are doing the vaccine mandates, And with the boosters, I think they're saying now that with the booster, the effectiveness goes back up to like 84% or whatever.

00:24:30.000 Is this gonna be a never-ending thing now?

00:24:33.000 Where it's not just a vaccine passport, it's your up-to-date medical card?

00:24:38.000 Because what else?

00:24:40.000 Once you open the door to that, asking for your ID and for proof of some kind of medical history, at what point do they just start adding more and more things to it, like outside of disease?

00:24:48.000 It doesn't make sense because if it's a virus that's mutating and it's also in the animal population, you can't kill it with a vaccine.

00:24:55.000 So why would you chase trying to kill something you can't kill?

00:24:59.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:25:01.000 Well, I guess some people were saying that although there are animal reservoirs for COVID, they haven't transferred back into humans.

00:25:08.000 That's just one of the arguments I saw online.

00:25:08.000 I don't know if that's true.

00:25:11.000 But we can just say this.

00:25:12.000 The variants are like... Dr. Fauci has been all over the place.

00:25:16.000 All over the place.

00:25:17.000 How can we track what we're supposed to do?

00:25:18.000 It's like, hey, YouTube, I'm trying to be a good little YouTuber here.

00:25:22.000 I want to make sure people are safe.

00:25:23.000 I don't want to give medical advice.

00:25:25.000 What am I supposed to do if Fauci comes out every other day with something different?

00:25:27.000 Yeah.

00:25:28.000 I just saw an article from the New York Times says those anti-COVID plastic barriers probably don't help and may make things worse.

00:25:35.000 And they were saying it forces the air to like stagnate and then the viral load increases because the air is not circulating.

00:25:41.000 Yeah.

00:25:42.000 What they sing dong weren't they saying before that it was like on surfaces and said it wasn't on surfaces

00:25:46.000 Yeah, yeah, and I think a lot of people particularly early on said, you know what we're still learning about kovat

00:25:52.000 We give the government some leeway, you know, the guidance changes we you know, we want to trust our public officials

00:25:59.000 I told my friends once the public health officials decided that

00:26:04.000 10,000 people in the town square to protest Over, you know the George Floyd incident or racial

00:26:11.000 injustice generally speaking once they decided that was okay

00:26:15.000 But a church couldn't meet outdoors and its 50 members couldn't meet outdoors?

00:26:20.000 The game was lost.

00:26:22.000 And nobody would ever trust either the elected officials or the public health bureaucrats because it was clear that they were using this virus for partisan means.

00:26:31.000 One, to get obviously to get Trump out of office.

00:26:34.000 And two, to, you know, sort of bring onto themselves a certain power that obviously they don't want to give up.

00:26:42.000 And you can see that hypocrisy all throughout last year.

00:26:45.000 People saying, you know, kids can't go to school, but their kids are having in-person instruction in private schools.

00:26:51.000 You know, saying again, you can't meet, you shouldn't get together with your family for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

00:26:58.000 But, you know, them allowing, you know, people, as I said, to cram the public square.

00:27:03.000 So I'll say this.

00:27:05.000 Last year, I want to say it was August, the church I was going to in DC sued the city to allow it to meet outdoors socially distanced, masked, on its own property, and they weren't allowed to do so.

00:27:23.000 At the same time, the city issued a permit for the sort of march on Washington, but they had like 10,000 people, you know, downtown.

00:27:32.000 And when I saw that, I was like, nobody's gonna listen to these people anymore.

00:27:35.000 And I think once the public health officials and the elected officials, who constantly flouted their own rules, Once that became public, they lost the most precious thing that they needed to manage this pandemic, which is trust.

00:27:51.000 And I don't think they'll ever get it back again.

00:27:52.000 It's true, but if you look at New York right now, man, these businesses are saying, you know, we're just following orders.

00:27:57.000 They're going to do it.

00:27:58.000 And I mentioned this before, I'll say it a million times, because this is one of the craziest things.

00:28:03.000 I've never thought I'd see something like this.

00:28:05.000 Bill de Blasio's mandate means every business in New York must terminate any employee who has a disability barring them from getting vaccinated.

00:28:14.000 And there's a lot, there's a lot of different, you know, illnesses or ailments or disabilities you could have that make it impossible for you to get this.

00:28:22.000 You're fired.

00:28:24.000 This is fascistic beyond all recognition.

00:28:28.000 So I think a lot of people have seen what was going on and they want to say no to this.

00:28:34.000 So in many areas they probably are just saying, like, I'm not going to do it.

00:28:37.000 But you look at New York and people after all of this are still just saying, well, I'll do whatever the mayor says.

00:28:42.000 Yeah.

00:28:43.000 People are starting to revolt in France.

00:28:44.000 Did you guys see any of that video?

00:28:45.000 Oh, have you seen the videos though?

00:28:47.000 Where like the cops are walking up to people at the restaurants or when they try to go to a supermarket.

00:28:52.000 Now they're being barred from going in a supermarket.

00:28:54.000 Yeah.

00:28:54.000 And then I saw one where the crowd was rising up and yelling at the cops.

00:28:57.000 Yeah.

00:28:58.000 There was no blows struck, but.

00:29:00.000 It's getting hot and it is getting started.

00:29:02.000 Yeah.

00:29:03.000 And I think, again, I'm trying to think about long term what this political realignment can look like.

00:29:10.000 Right.

00:29:11.000 So for a lot of conservatives who may not have been as open to assertions from their left that the police are heavy handed and particularly in communities of color, they are getting a taste of what that feels like.

00:29:26.000 So when you're at a game and you're supposed to be masked outdoors and you're not and the cops come and enforce it and you say I don't want to wear a mask and then next thing you know you're on the ground and being tased now you can get a sense of what other people were saying and I think what you're going to end up seeing is sort of a coalition building of folks on the right, who are typically pro-police, but are definitely anti-government lockdowns and mandates, along with, you know, folks who may be on the center left, who say the police have had expanding powers and too much authority for a lot of years.

00:30:05.000 And I think you're going to see that coalition sort of form pretty soon.

00:30:09.000 I think so.

00:30:10.000 We did see a little bit of the right pushing back on cops at the height of the lockdowns last year.

00:30:16.000 I think NYPD were refusing to enforce lockdowns, so they brought in troopers.

00:30:21.000 There was this guy at a bar.

00:30:22.000 He was open but giving things away for free.

00:30:24.000 They blocked the entrance.

00:30:24.000 They were like, we don't care.

00:30:26.000 And you had videos of some conservatives throwing the thin blue line flag on the ground and then stomping on it in the dirt in front of cops.

00:30:34.000 They weren't having it.

00:30:35.000 All of a sudden, churches were being shut down, cops were defending it.

00:30:38.000 You had the mayor of New York paint Black Lives Matter on the street without approval from the city, just taxpayer money, and 27 cops defending it.

00:30:44.000 And so that's all okay.

00:30:46.000 And they were arresting people who protested it.

00:30:49.000 So eventually, I think, you know, maybe it's a cold wake-up call to a lot of people on the right that cops will just follow the orders.

00:30:57.000 Yeah.

00:30:58.000 You know, Michael Malice has a pretty bold, we'll just call it bold, quote where he said, I'm going to paraphrase it because I don't know specifically, but there is no law so depraved a cop will not enforce it up and to executing innocent children.

00:31:14.000 Wow.

00:31:15.000 Now, that's Michael Malice.

00:31:16.000 It's a very, very because I don't necessarily agree.

00:31:20.000 Like I kind of think a cop's gonna be like, I'm not gonna do that.

00:31:22.000 I'm not gonna do that.

00:31:22.000 Soviet Union experience, personal experience.

00:31:24.000 Right, right.

00:31:25.000 And so I think what people need to realize is, you're thinking about a cop right now.

00:31:30.000 A cop right now is not gonna do it.

00:31:31.000 He's gonna be like, get out of here, dude. 0.99

00:31:33.000 Are you crazy? 0.99

00:31:34.000 Like, come on, we got a line. 0.96

00:31:35.000 But a cop in five, 10 years, when the good cops get purged out,

00:31:39.000 when they mandate vaccines for everybody and then you start getting skeptics and hesitant people

00:31:42.000 or people with disabilities being like, I don't know about that,

00:31:45.000 when the military says it.

00:31:46.000 And now you've got, whether or not people are right or wrong in their decision, they make a decision, and the military says, bye, you're out of the military.

00:31:52.000 Now you've got an increasingly woke, authoritarian kind of military.

00:31:57.000 Then you will get a cop who will gladly enforce.

00:32:01.000 What Michael Malice is saying, as the way I interpret it, is it's not about cops as the individual.

00:32:05.000 It's about the institution and what they will come to represent should things get to that point.

00:32:12.000 No, we lived in an armed society.

00:32:12.000 I hope we don't get there.

00:32:14.000 It'd be very, very unlikely that the police would throw themselves into that.

00:32:18.000 They've been trying to take our guns.

00:32:21.000 Yeah, which is what conservatives say.

00:32:21.000 I love it.

00:32:22.000 They'll say, look at the head of the FBI, not FBI, the ATF.

00:32:27.000 He wants to ban AR-15s and anything with a capacity over 10 rounds.

00:32:35.000 I think I've learned a lot and have to have had to go back and rethink what it means to be an American, what our founding documents mean, what the Second Amendment means.

00:32:48.000 Right.

00:32:49.000 I get people say for hunting and and self-defense.

00:32:53.000 I get it.

00:32:54.000 But Tyranny really is not something we've had to think about as a country legitimately for a pretty long time.

00:33:02.000 And as I said, on the left, tyranny and particularly, and I'm thinking, you know, particularly, you know, in African-American community, we'll say, you know, police brutality, police overreach, tyranny to us is assault on our physical bodies.

00:33:20.000 For conservatives, a lot of time, tyranny means the IRS is coming after me.

00:33:24.000 It's very different.

00:33:27.000 I think we're starting to see more people wake up and say, you know what?

00:33:31.000 The government is inserting itself into our personal health decisions.

00:33:34.000 It is trying to control how we educate our children.

00:33:38.000 It is trying to control whether and how and where we make a living.

00:33:43.000 And eventually people are going to get tired of that.

00:33:45.000 And the same military folks who may get purged, that's how you get people who are disaffected and become more radical than they otherwise would have been if our government would just let us live like free people.

00:33:57.000 Well, speaking of what's going on in politics and, you know, elaborating on this segment, we have an article here from The Blaze.

00:34:06.000 Will Joe Biden and Ibram Kendi save Novaks blacks from jab crow attacks? 1.00

00:34:11.000 By Donald Squires.

00:34:12.000 So but this is the general idea, I guess, is around like around voter ID being racist.

00:34:17.000 But now they're demanding IDs in New York.

00:34:19.000 Do you want to just let it tell us what the article is about?

00:34:21.000 Sure, sure, sure.

00:34:22.000 So it articles about a couple of things.

00:34:25.000 One, I started off thinking about Ibram Kendi and his assertion that any policy that produces disparate or inequitable outcomes is in and of itself racist.

00:34:38.000 So if there's a particular public policy and it impacts black and Hispanic people more than whites and Asians, then that policy is racist.

00:34:47.000 But then I also thought about how Joe Biden at one point called a proposed law in Georgia that would require, among other things, would require a valid ID to vote by mail.

00:34:59.000 He said that that law made Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.

00:35:03.000 And I said, oh, OK, so I could see these two partnering up and saying that vaccine passports Particularly the New York City policy pushed by de Blasio, which which would have a disproportionate effect on black communities because only is less than 40 percent of black New Yorkers are actually vaccinated.

00:35:22.000 I expect Ibram Kendi and Joe Biden to both say that jab crow.

00:35:27.000 is totally unacceptable in America in 2021 and that this policy that is going to produce disparate you know racial outcomes is in and of itself racist right and Ibram Kendi if he did that that would mean he would be calling some of his biggest supporters on the left racist the people were pushing this And I'm just curious as to whether or not these two will stand on principle or whether they will sacrifice, you know, their sacred cow of racial equity.

00:35:57.000 Come on.

00:35:58.000 On the altar of political pragmatism.

00:36:00.000 I'm not going to come out and say anything.

00:36:01.000 No.

00:36:02.000 I love the jab crow, though.

00:36:04.000 That was that was brilliant.

00:36:05.000 Yeah.

00:36:06.000 You know, but Joe Biden might.

00:36:07.000 But he might not.

00:36:10.000 Not legitimately, what might happen is because of the backlash.

00:36:13.000 He might then be like, oh yeah, well, you know, we're always saying ID, you can't do that. So

00:36:18.000 in this instance, if there's enough outrage, then he might just find it as an excuse to be like,

00:36:23.000 oh, here's why I post. It's not about vaccines. You know, he can save face in that regard.

00:36:26.000 And say, oh, I am for people getting the vaccine and, you know, wanting to have that security, but

00:36:26.000 Right.

00:36:30.000 you know, we can't have IDs to get in buildings.

00:36:33.000 Yeah. But see, but I think part of the issue, and this is why you see the media pushing

00:36:38.000 the narrative of the unvaccinated being white evangelical Trump voters, because they don't

00:36:43.000 want to tell the truth, which is nationally, again, black Americans have lower rates of

00:36:48.000 vaccination than other groups.

00:36:51.000 But if they can make vaccination into a white evangelical conservative issue, then it's a lot more palatable for people to say, we want to enforce vaccination with vaccine passports.

00:37:03.000 This is crazy too because for a long time they were saying they wanted to roll out the vaccine program based on race.

00:37:08.000 They wanted minorities to get access first because they were under vaccinated and people were like, that to me was kind of a, so I'm very much philosophically behind universal health care.

00:37:20.000 I just don't know if we can Possibly do it, right?

00:37:22.000 That's the big challenge.

00:37:23.000 But the idea that we could pay lower rates, save trillions of dollars because everybody's pitching into a functioning system, it sounds brilliant, right?

00:37:31.000 Until you learn that what does the government do once they have the ability to regulate health, they do it based on race?

00:37:37.000 Nah, I don't think that's a good idea to give the power to the government into things like that.

00:37:42.000 So one of the things, I talk about in the article, right, is, you know, when I get serious and I get past the sort of tongue-in-cheek stuff about Jeff Crow, is this is actually a perfect example of why Ibram Kendi's philosophy of anti-racism and racial equity will never work because what you've seen in this rollout is to your point whether people agree with it or not an emphasis on providing vaccine access to low-income black and hispanic communities

00:38:13.000 all out public awareness campaigns to get those communities vaccinated, making the vaccine free to everyone, putting, you know, vaccine centers right in the heart of communities.

00:38:23.000 In the neighborhood I was living in in D.C., there was one by the grocery store that they're at CVS is all over the place.

00:38:30.000 And you still see different rates by group in terms of vaccination.

00:38:35.000 So one of the things I talk about is a principle I call the Squires principle, because that's what people do. 0.95

00:38:39.000 They name stuff after themselves.

00:38:41.000 And it's fairly simple.

00:38:44.000 The premise is this.

00:38:46.000 That government control has a direct relationship with the perceived success of any policy.

00:38:53.000 But individual agency has an inverse relationship.

00:38:56.000 Because the government is good at certain things.

00:38:58.000 The government can say, we want to build new rec centers in all the low-income neighborhoods.

00:39:02.000 They have the resources, they have the political will.

00:39:06.000 They can do that.

00:39:07.000 What they can't do is guarantee that we're going to reduce diabetes and hypertension by 75%.

00:39:13.000 Because that has to do with how people eat, how they exercise, and how they rest.

00:39:18.000 Now they can do things on the periphery, but ultimately the more policy requires individual agency, the less successful it's going to be from the government's perspective.

00:39:28.000 Well, so you still have the black community less vaccinated than other racial demographics, even with all of these programs. 0.98

00:39:35.000 Correct.

00:39:37.000 So there's no policy solution, is there?

00:39:38.000 It's cultural, or what is it?

00:39:41.000 Part of it, and I know people who work in government don't like to hear this, but sometimes people don't want the things that you want to give them, for one reason or the other.

00:39:49.000 Because as adults, as rational adults, People make decisions they may say the risk of me getting COVID and a serious bout of COVID and you know the worst type of symptoms is not worth me you know taking this particular vaccine.

00:40:04.000 Now we may agree with the decision or not but it's their decision but that's something that the left has a hard time with right?

00:40:09.000 They think if we think it's social good everybody else should and instead of trying to Persuade.

00:40:17.000 Be honest about facts.

00:40:19.000 Answer questions honestly.

00:40:22.000 Take a nuanced approach.

00:40:24.000 They say, you know what?

00:40:25.000 We're done with the era of persuasion.

00:40:27.000 We're into coercion and force.

00:40:28.000 And that's what the vaccine passport is.

00:40:30.000 That was a good point you made about how if they feel it's a social good, everyone else must as well.

00:40:34.000 It's bigger than that.

00:40:35.000 It's that they believe their worldview is the same within every single person.

00:40:39.000 Yes.

00:40:40.000 And so, to them, here's what I often bring up, which plays to your point as well.

00:40:45.000 If I was given a free place to live, I'd take it.

00:40:48.000 Therefore, all homeless people need only be given a free place to live, and homelessness is solved.

00:40:52.000 Right.

00:40:52.000 Except I've worked with homeless shelters, and you know what you get most of the time when you go to a homeless person and offer them a shelter?

00:40:58.000 No.

00:41:00.000 Sir, we have a vehicle waiting for you right here.

00:41:02.000 And they're like, I got stuff.

00:41:03.000 I got friends.

00:41:04.000 This is where I live.

00:41:05.000 I don't know you.

00:41:06.000 I don't want to be anywhere near you.

00:41:07.000 I don't care about your house.

00:41:09.000 You know, people who are used to living outside are not, you know, I guess you've got young people. 0.65

00:41:14.000 They're naive.

00:41:16.000 And they must genuinely believe like, well, who wouldn't want to have a bed to sleep in?

00:41:19.000 Some people like their sleeping bag under a bridge.

00:41:21.000 I'm not exaggerating.

00:41:22.000 I'm not saying it's a good thing, but they, that's what they know.

00:41:25.000 That's what they're used to.

00:41:25.000 And they feel safe there.

00:41:27.000 And so the left just assumes every homeless person is actually just a down-on-their-luck, you know, out-of-work, laid-off guy holding a sign saying, we'll work for food.

00:41:34.000 Lack of affordable housing.

00:41:35.000 Right.

00:41:36.000 And so the solutions they often offer up are, hey, how about we put vaccination centers in all the black neighborhoods? 0.72

00:41:43.000 That way they'll get vaccinated.

00:41:44.000 And then they don't because they're not actually addressing the community's needs or desires in any meaningful way other than just some bland policy position that doesn't solve the problem.

00:41:52.000 Yeah.

00:41:53.000 It's not.

00:41:54.000 It's not like it's a black person, white person thing.

00:41:57.000 They, they horribly guffed this whole COVID experience for every human.

00:42:02.000 Like, I don't think it's a racial, has anything to do with race about how we are questioning.

00:42:08.000 I do think that like, look, look, it's a critical thought.

00:42:11.000 Maybe, maybe that's, is that inherent in the black community?

00:42:13.000 Critical thought?

00:42:14.000 Like critical race theory?

00:42:16.000 It's a joke.

00:42:16.000 I don't know.

00:42:17.000 We're genetically different, but like critical, but like, no, no, not that different.

00:42:21.000 I think race plays an obvious role in how communities form.

00:42:26.000 We see it with immigration.

00:42:28.000 People choose to move to areas where, like, you know, you end up with a Chinatown, you end up with a Little Italy.

00:42:34.000 Maybe race isn't not the right word.

00:42:35.000 Maybe ethnicity or something.

00:42:36.000 It's not race.

00:42:37.000 Yeah, we're the same race.

00:42:38.000 Or it's culture is probably a better, like, familiarity probably is a better way to put it.

00:42:42.000 So I know in the beginning, a lot of the talk around, quote unquote, vaccine hesitancy was around, you know, you saw articles on the Tuskegee experiment and the history of black communities with the health care professions.

00:42:53.000 I'm not saying some of that doesn't exist.

00:42:55.000 Right.

00:42:56.000 But again, people make decisions for all types of reasons.

00:42:59.000 I don't think every black person who doesn't want to get the shot is doing it because of Tuskegee. 0.95

00:43:05.000 I don't think they're doing it because they don't have access to it. 0.80

00:43:07.000 Some people just say, I don't want it.

00:43:09.000 But for whatever reason, that's an answer that some of our elected officials just cannot stomach.

00:43:17.000 They won't allow it.

00:43:18.000 No, these people, they must be vaccinated.

00:43:20.000 And that's why you see, actually this morning, this was going around on Twitter, Ari Melber was quoting the Notorious B.I.G., a song from way back.

00:43:30.000 He was talking about, you know, what's beef and Talking about you'll end up in the ICU and Ari Melba was trying to link that to not getting the shot because if you don't get the shot and you get COVID, you may end up in the ICU.

00:43:40.000 And a lot of people, you know, who I follow on social media were like, what is this guy talking about?

00:43:45.000 I mean, you know, to appropriate Biggie's lyrics to push, you know, your particular agenda is not something that is going to convince anyone.

00:43:56.000 Again, I can't answer for why everyone chooses not to do it, but to your point, people should consult their medical professionals, and they should make a decision that makes sense for them.

00:44:05.000 I agree with you.

00:44:05.000 I don't think most of the problems that we talk about as racial problems are racial problems.

00:44:10.000 I come, again, I come with a biblical worldview.

00:44:13.000 I believe there's one race, Many ethnicities, many nationalities.

00:44:19.000 But in our country, that's the way we tend to think about things.

00:44:22.000 And I think people like Ibram Kendi have made that even worse.

00:44:26.000 And that's why, it was a shot at him, it was sort of tongue-in-cheek.

00:44:29.000 I just want to see if he's going to stand on his own principles.

00:44:32.000 My guess is that he won't.

00:44:33.000 Yeah, I'd agree with that.

00:44:35.000 I'd make a gentleman's bet.

00:44:38.000 It's an industry to protect.

00:44:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:41.000 Grievous Industrial Complex.

00:44:42.000 Yeah, that's good.

00:44:43.000 Did you come up with that one?

00:44:44.000 I like that one.

00:44:45.000 Other people say it, but I was saying it before they said it.

00:44:47.000 That's a good one, too.

00:44:47.000 Right on.

00:44:48.000 Grievous Industrial Complex, man.

00:44:50.000 That's big.

00:44:51.000 We have Critical Race Applied Principles. 0.51

00:44:53.000 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:44:55.000 Have you heard that one?

00:44:56.000 Critical Race Applied Principles?

00:44:57.000 I have not.

00:44:58.000 That's actually one of our Super Chatters said that.

00:45:00.000 Interesting.

00:45:01.000 So, you know, in schools it's critical race praxis when they put the theory into praxis.

00:45:05.000 And I'm like, we need an A in there for the acronym.

00:45:08.000 And someone said critical race applied principles.

00:45:11.000 And we were like, yeah, that's good.

00:45:13.000 Let's talk about how it's going to hit schools.

00:45:13.000 We have the story, though.

00:45:15.000 We got this from Fox 12 Oregon.

00:45:17.000 Brown announces COVID-19 vaccine mandate for Oregon K-12 teachers and staff.

00:45:23.000 K-12 school employees in Oregon must be fully vaccinated by the fall, and healthcare workers will no longer be able to test for COVID-19 weekly as a vaccine alternative.

00:45:31.000 So there's a couple of things here that are big.

00:45:33.000 One, they used to say, if you don't have the vaccine, you can get a negative test.

00:45:37.000 Now that's gone.

00:45:38.000 You can't do it.

00:45:39.000 I also don't believe that there are medical exemptions in any of these, which means teachers who have underlying condition, you're gone.

00:45:47.000 So this is now affecting our schools, and that means what's going to happen?

00:45:47.000 Wow.

00:45:53.000 Are parents going to take their kids out of schools?

00:45:55.000 Some.

00:45:56.000 I mean, across the country, if you've seen an uptick in homeschooling across the board, I think you're going to see that continue because Again, last year we were all dealing with COVID.

00:46:09.000 Everybody sort of went through their stages.

00:46:10.000 There was a period of time where people were sanitizing their groceries when they came from the store.

00:46:14.000 But now I think we have a better sense of the virus.

00:46:17.000 We have a better sense of the different treatment options.

00:46:21.000 I don't think parents are going to stand for another year of distance learning, universal masking, mask mandates.

00:46:29.000 Vaccine mandates.

00:46:30.000 So I think some parents are going to pull their kids out.

00:46:33.000 Some are going to stay and fight.

00:46:36.000 It's interesting that this is Oregon.

00:46:37.000 I think their governor just relaxed some of the graduation requirements in terms of literacy and numeracy in the name of equity.

00:46:46.000 Again, it's always in the name of equity.

00:46:49.000 And this doesn't surprise me in the least bit, but it's so curious and I try not to be a conspiracy theorist.

00:46:55.000 But when you see the emphasis on our COVID response being basically one of two things, masks and vaccines.

00:47:04.000 Where's the discussion of, you know, longer term solutions, you know, diet, exercise, other, you know, healthier lifestyles, therapeutics, different treatment options.

00:47:15.000 It's as if the elected officials and the commentators think it's either you wear your mask, you get vaccinated, or you're going to end up in ICU and you're going to die.

00:47:24.000 And I feel that's a really bad way to have this discussion nationally.

00:47:28.000 There was a crazy thread on Twitter where some person claiming to be a pharmacist, I don't know if they were, said that they refused to fill a prescription for Ivermectin.

00:47:37.000 And they didn't know what the prescription was for.

00:47:40.000 And then they said they called the doctor to verify, and the doctor said, you know, I'm the doctor, you're the pharmacist, you fill it.

00:47:45.000 And again, I'll say, Ivermectin's not FDA approved.

00:47:48.000 It's going through studies.

00:47:49.000 Some people are optimistic, some people aren't.

00:47:51.000 There's studies that say it does nothing.

00:47:53.000 Ultimately, I just think, would you doctor prescribe?

00:47:56.000 Man, I'm not going to get in the way of that.

00:47:58.000 So it's not FDA approved.

00:47:59.000 Go to your doctor.

00:48:00.000 You can talk about what you can do.

00:48:01.000 But to see people on Twitter as pharmacists, or at least claiming to be saying that they would reject any prescription they disagreed with.

00:48:08.000 I was like, man, didn't we have this conversation long ago about birth control?

00:48:12.000 Yeah.

00:48:12.000 Where the pharmacists were like, it's against my religion to give this out, so I'm choosing

00:48:15.000 not to, and then they were yelled at for it.

00:48:18.000 I think if a doctor says he knows what's best for you, I'm not going to get in the middle

00:48:21.000 of that.

00:48:22.000 But these schools, man, to go back to that, I actually think this is a really, really

00:48:27.000 I think the more people we have homeschooled, the better.

00:48:29.000 I think institutionalized learning facilities are very, very bad.

00:48:33.000 And so this might backfire on these government institutions in that parents might just say, what can we do to solve this problem?

00:48:40.000 The school's just getting crazier and crazier.

00:48:43.000 Pod learning.

00:48:44.000 You've heard about the pods they do, where a bunch of neighbors will have their kids go to one private tutor who will teach them.

00:48:50.000 That sounds brilliant.

00:48:51.000 But you're a big homeschool proponent.

00:48:53.000 Yeah, so my wife and I homeschool.

00:48:56.000 We had our daughter in a public charter school for about a year in D.C.

00:49:00.000 We decided to go in a different direction.

00:49:03.000 We love the flexibility that it offers.

00:49:05.000 We love the We love the ability to make our home the center of productive activity, productive economic activity, spiritual activity.

00:49:15.000 So, you know, the ability to spend quality time with our children, particularly when they're young, to pour into them our values, our worldview, and to really teach them, because we believe that education is equal parts scholarship and discipleship.

00:49:29.000 And when you look at the left and some of the crazy things that go on in schools,

00:49:33.000 I think every parent should ask themselves, do I want these people discipling my kids?

00:49:37.000 So I think, again, I'm a huge fan, a huge proponent of home education for very principled reasons.

00:49:44.000 Because I think this is where the right gets it wrong on school choice.

00:49:50.000 I believe in school choice.

00:49:52.000 I think education is the responsibility of parents.

00:49:55.000 They may delegate that responsibility to schools in loco parentis, but the schools think in loco parentis is Spanish.

00:50:05.000 They think it means these parents are crazy, so it's our turn to take over, as opposed to Latin, which means in place of parents.

00:50:11.000 And I think parents need to take that authority back and they need to understand that they are in control of the education process and not and not the schools and the admins which are becoming increasingly partisan from the schools of education that train teachers.

00:50:27.000 to the actual admins on a local level, down to the classrooms where teachers are expressly saying, we are looking to train, you know, the next generation of activists.

00:50:38.000 And for me, when I look at a lot of these larger urban school districts that in many respects, honestly, are failing our kids, and particularly low income kids, I'm asking myself, you know, what's the point of, you know, Helping Jamal be an activist if he needs Karen to write a sign you know so to me again as I said this is where parents can take some control but in order to do that we need to talk about other issues and some of those have to do with family and family formation.

00:51:09.000 My wife and I can do what we're doing now because we're married, right?

00:51:12.000 We have our kids together.

00:51:14.000 We are pulling in the same direction.

00:51:16.000 But homeschooling may be a lot more difficult for a single mom who's raising her kids if she has to go out and work. 1.00

00:51:22.000 So I think that's where community institutions can come in.

00:51:25.000 Churches or other, you know, faith-based institutions.

00:51:28.000 Can say, you know, we have a couple of educators on staff.

00:51:32.000 You all can bring your kids here.

00:51:34.000 We'll teach them in whatever curriculum we think is the best.

00:51:37.000 And we can support, you know, families in that way.

00:51:40.000 Churches, man.

00:51:41.000 I think a lot of people who might have, you know, not grown up with religion don't understand the power of a church in the sense of you see people.

00:51:50.000 And that's really it.

00:51:51.000 I mean, you go there, and then you see your neighbors, and, you know, my experience is always like, people would be talking before and after.

00:51:58.000 You needed help with something, people would be there for you.

00:52:01.000 Some young men would, you know, some dad would be like, oh, my kids will help you clean out your garage, won't you boys?

00:52:05.000 And they'll be like, yeah, and then they'll go.

00:52:07.000 And so you have that community.

00:52:08.000 Now what do we have is we have neighbors who never talk to each other.

00:52:11.000 We have this, there was this ad.

00:52:12.000 I don't know if it's real.

00:52:13.000 I just saw a meme and it's like, it's like a New York subway ad or something where it says bad and it shows two faces talking to each other.

00:52:20.000 Then it says, uh, or it says like worse.

00:52:23.000 And then it says better.

00:52:24.000 And then it shows two people wearing masks, talking to each other.

00:52:27.000 And then it says best.

00:52:27.000 And it's two faces looking down, not talking to each other at all.

00:52:30.000 One on the book, one on the phone.

00:52:31.000 And I'm like, that's a nightmare.

00:52:33.000 You know, so our buddy Luke, who's been on the show quite a bit, he made a video a long time ago on his YouTube channel where, uh, I think it's called Just Keep Going, Got Nothing to Lose, where he said, you know, he's lived in New York his whole life and every day he goes on the train and he realized that none of these people ever talk to each other.

00:52:33.000 Yeah.

00:52:48.000 No, they don't look at each other.

00:52:49.000 So, right.

00:52:50.000 His head is down.

00:52:51.000 So he decided just to start talking to these people and asking them questions about like what they think.

00:52:55.000 And it's like a really moving video.

00:52:57.000 I got a million views and this is back in the day.

00:52:58.000 So it did really, really well.

00:52:59.000 That's a really good example of, you know, when you're trying to figure out how to teach your kids, family structure.

00:53:05.000 Because if you don't have two parents, or someone's single mom can't do it, she can't afford a tutor either. 0.99

00:53:11.000 She's probably not making enough.

00:53:12.000 Unless she's a single mom and she's got a really great job, which probably exists. 1.00

00:53:15.000 In which case, pods. 0.53

00:53:17.000 Yeah.

00:53:18.000 Find, you know, hire a tutor.

00:53:19.000 Yeah.

00:53:20.000 Have all the kids sit in a classroom like normal.

00:53:22.000 Yeah.

00:53:22.000 So, so I actually, um, I wrote an article for The Blaze last week that talked about, you know, family in this way.

00:53:28.000 It talked about, it actually linked together a story about Nick Cannon and his views on marriage being Eurocentric, um, critical race theory and some of the crazy stuff going on in schools.

00:53:39.000 And then COVID, because imagine you're a woman who's about to have, you know, either you've, you've had a child recently, or you're looking to go back to work.

00:53:49.000 And your employer is saying, you know, you have to take the vaccine.

00:53:52.000 So if you're pregnant, you're like, I don't know if I want to take it. 1.00

00:53:54.000 Feeling the pressure to take the vaccine or lose your job potentially.

00:53:58.000 That's that's a that's a pretty difficult decision to make.

00:54:02.000 And the point I was making an article is that, you know, when when couples, again, have the benefit of marriage where, you know, they are, as I said, pulling together in the same direction for their Mutual benefit and the benefit of the children it gives them options You know a wife could tell her husband. 0.51

00:54:20.000 I don't want to do this.

00:54:21.000 You know I'm tired of whatever was going on at my workplace For one reason or the other and they have options that you know other other families don't have so I was making you know the case for marriage as as not just a social good, but also a You know, a very sort of practical arrangement.

00:54:41.000 That's not typically how I make the case about marriage, but it also does have practical benefits.

00:54:45.000 And I think you've seen that during the pandemic.

00:54:47.000 And we have a lot of activists who want to disrupt that.

00:54:49.000 Yeah.

00:54:49.000 That was one of the messages from Black Lives Matter.

00:54:51.000 Tell me about it.

00:54:52.000 Don't get me started.

00:54:54.000 I'm trying to get started on that.

00:54:57.000 Why?

00:54:57.000 It seems so destructive.

00:54:59.000 Yeah.

00:54:59.000 To hurt a family.

00:55:00.000 Yeah.

00:55:01.000 I mean, part of it, when at the point where Black Lives Matter said that we are trained Marxists, people should have listened to them. 1.00

00:55:09.000 I thought you were going to say they should have shut them out.

00:55:11.000 No, you're right.

00:55:12.000 They should have listened to them.

00:55:13.000 They should have done that too.

00:55:14.000 But that's why I'm a big believer in worldview.

00:55:18.000 Regardless of what it is, you should know what a person believes because that'll give you an understanding of why they believe what they believe.

00:55:25.000 So when Marx talks about abolishing the family because he understood that the family is not just where children, you know, receive their moral instruction, but is also a vehicle for passing down private property.

00:55:37.000 And he wanted he wanted to take the kids from their parents and dedicate them to the state.

00:55:45.000 Right.

00:55:47.000 Black Lives Matter, you know, has a similar vision in their Black Villages principle.

00:55:54.000 Before they took it off their website because they started to get a lot of heat for it, they talked about wanting to disrupt the nuclear family requirement that, you know, requires mothers to do X, Y, and Z. At no point did they talk about fathers or husbands.

00:56:09.000 Because in their world, those people don't exist.

00:56:11.000 And that's why I would make an argument that, you know, BLM is only interested in black men to the extent that their, you know, dead bodies help further their political goals. 0.94

00:56:22.000 And that's not the type of organization I would... There's under no circumstance would I, as a black man, get behind any organization that says that they want to disrupt the nuclear family.

00:56:31.000 At all.

00:56:31.000 Under no circumstance.

00:56:32.000 They removed it though, didn't they take it off their website?

00:56:34.000 Yeah, they got a lot of heat.

00:56:35.000 But they had their principles on their website for years.

00:56:37.000 Yep.

00:56:38.000 And once they started to grow in prominence last year and people started to pick up on it and and some people would ask them questions, particularly on the conservative media side.

00:56:47.000 Now, they never got asked questions from Don Lemon or Roland Martin or any of the other media that they did, you know, sort of the corporate legacy media.

00:56:59.000 But once they started to get those questions, they scrubbed it because they knew that that was a very, very unpopular take.

00:57:06.000 But I think people should understand that that organization, you know, those principles were a reflection of their worldview.

00:57:14.000 And that's why I ask people all the time, if you start an environmental organization and then I go to your principles and you never mention the environment, that should be a red flag.

00:57:22.000 So when you say you're against police violence and in your 13 principles, You never mentioned police, violence, men, boys.

00:57:31.000 It's all about, you know, being queer-affirming, transgender-affirming, woman-affirming, black families and black villages that erase husbands and fathers. 1.00

00:57:43.000 That should have been a red flag to people, but for whatever reason, you know, our society just, they take whatever the top line is and they run with it.

00:57:51.000 Yep.

00:57:52.000 Corporations.

00:57:53.000 They said, hey, this is safe.

00:57:54.000 What's wrong with that?

00:57:54.000 Yeah.

00:57:55.000 And you get a bunch of people living in New York City who work for advertising firms.

00:57:58.000 So they're the ones who make those decisions.

00:58:00.000 Yeah.

00:58:01.000 Yeah.

00:58:01.000 You see how that ended up.

00:58:03.000 Let's swing it back to schools real quick.

00:58:05.000 We have this story that's been going around.

00:58:07.000 Utah teacher no longer employed after advocating vaccination and telling students she hates Trump.

00:58:13.000 Alpine School District said that kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

00:58:18.000 The video of her sharing her opinions in front of a class at Lehigh High School on Tuesday was shared widely on social media.

00:58:23.000 And by Wednesday morning, the second day of the new school year, Alpine School District in Utah County confirmed she wasn't employed there anymore.

00:58:30.000 Spokesman David Stevenson said in a statement that he cannot comment on personnel matters and would not say whether the teacher was fired, only that she wasn't working there now.

00:58:38.000 She had originally been put on leave Tuesday while the district investigated.

00:58:42.000 Have you seen the video?

00:58:43.000 I haven't.

00:58:43.000 I've seen people sharing.

00:58:44.000 not reflective of the professional conduct and decorum we expect of our teachers,

00:58:48.000 and will not be tolerated.

00:58:50.000 Have you seen the video?

00:58:51.000 I haven't. I've seen people sharing, I didn't get a chance to watch it.

00:58:54.000 I, uh, I don't agree with this.

00:58:57.000 You don't agree with them sharing?

00:58:59.000 I would have LOVED to have been in that class.

00:59:02.000 I watched this video.

00:59:03.000 She wasn't screaming at people.

00:59:05.000 She was just giving her opinion and being loud.

00:59:07.000 She was treating the kids like adults.

00:59:09.000 They're high school kids.

00:59:10.000 They're not school children.

00:59:12.000 And so you could hear some guys arguing with her.

00:59:15.000 And they were saying like, no, no, like, you know, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:59:17.000 And she's like, well, that's dumb. 1.00

00:59:18.000 You're dumb. 1.00

00:59:19.000 And I'm like, man, I would have killed to have had a teacher debate me or argue with me about politics in school, treating me like an actual, you know, like human being instead of just, no, shut up. 1.00

00:59:29.000 You're stupid. 1.00

00:59:29.000 Moving on. 1.00

00:59:30.000 Do as I say or else.

00:59:31.000 She was actually talking to these kids. 1.00

00:59:33.000 Now, her opinions are dumb. 1.00

00:59:34.000 They were really bad. 1.00

00:59:35.000 I just think about what would have happened if it was the other way around.

00:59:38.000 Where a teacher comes out and says, kids, listen.

00:59:40.000 You've got to think for yourselves.

00:59:42.000 You've got to plan ahead.

00:59:43.000 Just because the media is saying Trump is bad doesn't mean he is.

00:59:46.000 Right.

00:59:46.000 Then all of a sudden they're like, oh no, the teacher.

00:59:49.000 So I'm fine with the teacher, to a certain degree, talking to high school kids about their opinions and allowing the kids to talk back.

00:59:56.000 I mean, I am too. 0.95

00:59:58.000 But you said she called them dumb for challenging her. 0.97

01:00:01.000 She did. 0.97

01:00:02.000 Okay, so that's a little bit different.

01:00:04.000 Right, right, right.

01:00:05.000 I'm all for critical thinking.

01:00:06.000 I'm all for inquiry.

01:00:07.000 I'm all for kids, particularly, you know, of a certain age, challenging, pushing back on their teachers.

01:00:13.000 But when the teacher still has a role of authority in the classroom, So if, it'd be different if she said, let's engage on this issue.

01:00:21.000 But if she's calling them dumb, that to me indicates that she is trying to shut down discussion, not encourage more of it. 0.99

01:00:28.000 I just think she's dumb. 1.00

01:00:30.000 Like she didn't, she didn't say shut your mouth, stop talking. 1.00

01:00:33.000 She, she actually engaged the student and they had like, she wasn't talking over.

01:00:36.000 I mean, there's a bit of like argument and stuff, but I'm like, Man, I'd love to be in a classroom where the students are being like, here's what I think, and then she's like, well, I don't think.

01:00:45.000 Me too.

01:00:46.000 That sounds like a good thing for these kids to see that and to see these people challenging it.

01:00:50.000 Granted, I still think maybe at the end of the day, teachers shouldn't be going to classes to argue politics with their students, whether it's for or against them.

01:00:59.000 It wastes everybody else's time to sit and listen to that.

01:01:02.000 Exactly.

01:01:02.000 And so as much as I would have enjoyed arguing with the teacher and her engaging me, I think the kids are there to be like, look, we're going to talk about math and everything.

01:01:10.000 You can talk to your parents about the political stuff.

01:01:12.000 You can set up, you can go in and talk to the teacher after class if you really want to shoot politics.

01:01:17.000 Right.

01:01:17.000 Talk about politics.

01:01:18.000 Yeah.

01:01:19.000 Sorry, go ahead.

01:01:19.000 No, no, go ahead.

01:01:20.000 She's a chemistry teacher.

01:01:22.000 I don't really think that she ought to be talking about politics, do you?

01:01:25.000 Honestly.

01:01:26.000 She squeezes in Trump stuff.

01:01:28.000 So now we're gonna be dealing with, we have sodium here, and of course Trump's a salty MF. 1.00

01:01:33.000 That guy sucks. 0.99

01:01:34.000 And anyway, that's sodium chloride, by the way. 1.00

01:01:36.000 Sodium chloride, or table salt, and salty like Trump, and I'll tell you what, that would be funny.

01:01:41.000 I would enjoy that.

01:01:43.000 The issue I had with school was the callousness, the cold, the condescension. 1.00

01:01:49.000 So I watched that video and I'm like, man, my schools were just like, shut up, you're dumb, moving on. 1.00

01:01:54.000 For her to be like, well, that's dumb or you're dumb, I'm kind of like, yeah, but she's talking to him and he's talking back. 1.00

01:01:59.000 So I think that's like one thing we need to do with kids is treat them like they're adults and not treat them like they're stupid babies. 1.00

01:02:04.000 I mean, I agree with that. 1.00

01:02:05.000 I will say this.

01:02:07.000 One, I'm surprised it's Utah.

01:02:09.000 If you said Boston or, you know, Philly or Portland or something like that.

01:02:15.000 It did fire her.

01:02:16.000 Yeah.

01:02:17.000 Fair.

01:02:17.000 Okay.

01:02:17.000 That's not good.

01:02:17.000 couple things that I think warranted discipline. She said, most of your parents are probably stupider, or you're

01:02:24.000 probably smarter than your parents, or your parents are dumber than you or 1.00

01:02:26.000 something like that. And she said, don't listen to your parents. You don't 1.00

01:02:29.000 have to listen to your parents. See, that was the line. That's where

01:02:31.000 schools get into trouble, where they try to undermine the authority of

01:02:35.000 parents.

01:02:37.000 And again, that's one of the big things that I think may draw people to home education, is because in many respects, everything that we've seen play out in the last year, I think has been a struggle over authority.

01:02:53.000 Where we see the state set itself up against citizens who say, my job is essential.

01:03:00.000 If you, Mr. or Mrs. Governor, are drawing a check during the pandemic, why should I have to forego my pay?

01:03:06.000 When you've seen churches and local governments get into struggles over whether churches can open, right?

01:03:13.000 Again, an issue of authority.

01:03:15.000 From church's perspective, who is the higher authority?

01:03:18.000 Is it Christ or is it Caesar?

01:03:20.000 And as it relates to education, it's schools setting themselves up as a higher authority than parents.

01:03:27.000 Listen to us, right?

01:03:28.000 We know better.

01:03:29.000 We went to school.

01:03:30.000 We have master's degrees.

01:03:32.000 Don't listen to your parents.

01:03:34.000 And I think For whatever reason, parents have accepted that that is the natural order of things in college.

01:03:40.000 But when schools start doing that with kids as early as three and introducing them to things that their parents don't necessarily know about.

01:03:48.000 I'll give an example.

01:03:49.000 In many school districts, if a child sort of exhibits signs of not even gender dysphoria, if the child says, I'm questioning my gender, The schools will allow a child to socially transition.

01:04:04.000 They'll use a different name, different pronouns in the school.

01:04:07.000 But then, not only will they not tell the parents, when the parents come around, they will call Jimmy Jimmy in front of his parents.

01:04:14.000 To hide it.

01:04:15.000 To hide it.

01:04:16.000 And I think when you start to open those types of doors, all different types of things can come through.

01:04:22.000 We had a woman on the show, she was showing us a bunch of books, the Critical Race Applied Principle books, and one of them was, it was called, was it Not My Idea?

01:04:30.000 Not My Idea, yeah.

01:04:31.000 And it was Azra.

01:04:32.000 Yeah, Azra.

01:04:33.000 Not My Idea.

01:04:33.000 Oh yeah, I know Azra.

01:04:34.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:35.000 Have you seen the book Not My Idea?

01:04:36.000 I have not, no.

01:04:37.000 It's this little girl who looks like she's six or seven years old, and she says, like, one day, mommy was watching a video on the computer of a policeman, and then when I came up, she covers it, and, you know, something like that.

01:04:47.000 And then, you know, later on, there's this—they show this picture called the Whiteness Contract or whatever.

01:04:52.000 It's a contract with a devil tail, and it says you'll steal from your neighbors and whatever.

01:04:57.000 No, you're lying to me.

01:04:58.000 You're lying to me.

01:04:59.000 Tell me the truth.

01:04:59.000 I know the truth.

01:05:00.000 I start screaming. I you know, no, you're lying to me. You're lying to me. Tell me the truth

01:05:04.000 I know the truth and the mother's like, oh no, what's happening? Okay, I guess I'll tell you the whole book was

01:05:09.000 basically priming children to Defy what their parents were teaching them. Mmm, we have

01:05:14.000 seen These teachers post these videos where they say we are

01:05:18.000 going to teach your kids things. You don't want them to yeah

01:05:22.000 There was the gay men's choir viral video. 0.76

01:05:26.000 Tongue-in-cheek, whatever they want to call it, they said, we are- Coming for your kids.

01:05:29.000 Over and over again, thinking it was funny.

01:05:31.000 But then they said like, all the things you don't want them exposed to, we're going to expose them to.

01:05:35.000 And their friends and everything.

01:05:36.000 And it's like, dude, parents have a right to choose for their children what's best for them.

01:05:40.000 You do not own these kids.

01:05:42.000 But that's the saying, the left doesn't have any kids, they have yours.

01:05:46.000 That's good.

01:05:47.000 Even, you know, there's a show that my kids like.

01:05:51.000 It's called Bubble Guppies, so if you got any parents out there who have young children, they'll know what it's about.

01:05:56.000 And they had RuPaul voice over a character in one of the episodes.

01:06:02.000 So the whole show takes place underwater, so the characters are like You know, mini mermaids and fish and stuff like that.

01:06:07.000 And at one point, one of the characters, they were talking about getting dressed during the day and they said, yeah, it's a real drag.

01:06:13.000 And you could tell that, you know, they're trying to let the kids, the adults in on the joke.

01:06:18.000 And for me, the way I think about it in terms of the analogy that I would use is that there's a lot of different ways to cook a steak.

01:06:31.000 I'll say it that way, right?

01:06:32.000 But when you first pull it out of the fridge, it's not ready for the frying pan.

01:06:36.000 So you can pulverize it.

01:06:38.000 Well, you can tenderize it and you pulverize with policy and you tenderize with culture.

01:06:44.000 And really what the left is trying to do in terms of their tenderizing is marinate us in these things.

01:06:52.000 And they want to get the kids in as young as possible, you know, because when you're being marinated, you know, the spices and, you know, the aroma and it smells good and you think it tastes good.

01:07:03.000 But those fibers that have been so tough and so unforgiving for a long time are being sort of broken down.

01:07:12.000 And that's how you get people who are open to ideas, whatever the transgression is, because left is all about subversion of any sort of social norm.

01:07:21.000 And I think that's what you're seeing.

01:07:22.000 And that's the reason why they think it's appropriate to have RuPaul on a show for kids that's, you know, from two to seven years old.

01:07:31.000 We cover the story Australia is building alternative quarantine hubs with relocatable cabins, they call it.

01:07:38.000 Sounds like a camp, right?

01:07:39.000 And so the idea is that, oh, the hotels weren't working, so we're going to build a hub for people to quarantine in, and we're going to have color-coded communities so that we know what area they're in.

01:07:48.000 And we had people on Super Chat saying, oh, come on, Tim.

01:07:52.000 We tried quarantining people in hotels and it wasn't working, so we're just making something more efficient.

01:07:56.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's called incrementalization.

01:07:58.000 Right.

01:07:59.000 It's where they're like, you are now defending the camp because it's within your reasonable boundaries.

01:08:04.000 And the funny thing is, I've long explained the function of moral manipulation through what's called It's resetting a person's boundaries, right?

01:08:15.000 So the way I describe it is, imagine there's a scale of negative 100 to positive 100, and then you're at zero.

01:08:21.000 Negative 100 means you absolutely despise a person to the point where you would physically harm them, and positive 100 means marriage in a family.

01:08:28.000 You're at zero.

01:08:30.000 A person's reasonable boundaries only go from negative 10 to positive 10.

01:08:33.000 So what that means is, you can't walk up to a random person and say, you know, go hit that guy.

01:08:38.000 They're gonna be like, what?

01:08:39.000 No, I don't know who that is.

01:08:40.000 Or go kiss that person, right?

01:08:43.000 They're gonna be like, no, that's insane.

01:08:45.000 But you can say, slightly in one direction or the other.

01:08:48.000 Like, hey, that person called you a mean name.

01:08:50.000 Or, hey, that person made a nice compliment.

01:08:52.000 And you move them within that boundary.

01:08:54.000 After a certain amount of time in that space, their boundaries reset.

01:08:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:08:59.000 So this is how they incrementalize you, right?

01:09:02.000 If three years ago they announced, we're going to be building a major quarantine camp with relocatable cabins to house high-risk populations, people would be like, what?

01:09:11.000 But you start with the hotels and then you go, oh no, the hotels, it's such a disaster.

01:09:16.000 And then people go, well, just build a place then.

01:09:18.000 You're right.

01:09:19.000 We'll build a place.

01:09:19.000 It was your idea.

01:09:21.000 That makes more sense.

01:09:22.000 Yeah.

01:09:23.000 And it depends on who's building it.

01:09:24.000 If Trump was building the hotels, it would be a very, very different reaction than if Biden builds them.

01:09:31.000 So I think what you described is sort of the Overton window put into practice for people.

01:09:37.000 And I think a lot of us have been moved in one direction or the other.

01:09:43.000 And you can see, it's almost like for some people, they have a desire to be controlled by the government.

01:09:49.000 It's like they're looking, well, And I found this, particularly after people started getting vaccinated, where I would hear people say, I'm fully vaccinated, but I'm double masking while I'm riding my bicycle and nobody's around.

01:10:03.000 In the woods.

01:10:04.000 I was like, well, why would you do that?

01:10:05.000 Well, some health professional said I should.

01:10:08.000 I was like, don't you think you have the ability to make your own rational decisions?

01:10:11.000 And it's unfortunate because I think, again, all of these things are linked because a lot of us have not learned to think critically.

01:10:21.000 To challenge authority, you know, in whatever respectful way, whatever that looks like.

01:10:28.000 And I think you're starting to see the byproduct of that, you know, in our country.

01:10:33.000 You were mentioning, you know, you had written for The Root at one point.

01:10:35.000 Would you consider yourself to have been a leftist at that point?

01:10:37.000 I've never been a leftist, no.

01:10:39.000 I've always had what people would deem traditional views.

01:10:43.000 I'm conversant in sort of, and at that point when I was writing For the Root, I would say they were more liberal than leftists.

01:10:49.000 Right.

01:10:49.000 They've definitely taken a harder shift now, I'd say, over the last seven years.

01:10:55.000 But you had critical thinking capabilities, seemed like a smart guy, and so you were just sticking to your principles and what you think makes the most sense.

01:11:02.000 Uh, when we talk about the leftists and the socialists, I don't think, you know, critical thought extends very far.

01:11:11.000 There are some people I've met who have been fairly smart and are just wrong, but there's a lot of people who just, I got to pull up this story.

01:11:19.000 We got a good one from Newsweek.com.

01:11:23.000 Socialist magazine Current Affairs fires staff for trying to organize workers co-op.

01:11:29.000 How many times do you need to see these stories to realize that these leftist institutions, that magazines or media publications, they claim to be progressive or have socialist values, And then the moment someone tries to unionize, which is like a core tenet of, you know, labor rights, they fire these people.

01:11:48.000 You know, the funniest thing about it is, is like, for me, they would call me right or far right or whatever.

01:11:52.000 And I'm like more power to my staff if they, I don't care or whatever.

01:11:56.000 Like, I really don't understand why, you know, the Young Turks did it. 0.95

01:11:59.000 They had that story where like some guy was trying to unionize and Cenk Uygur's like screaming at him, like slams papers on the ground.

01:12:04.000 And I'm like, you guys are the progressives who advocate for this.

01:12:08.000 Yeah.

01:12:09.000 So let me just read a little bit and then we'll dive in.

01:12:11.000 The founder of the socialist magazine Current Affairs has reportedly effectively fired several staff members after they tried to organize a workers co-op, former employees claimed in a letter on Wednesday.

01:12:22.000 The letter, which was addressed to comrades by several employees of the print and digital magazine that focuses on topics from a left-wing perspective, said they had been effectively fired by the founder, Nathan J. Robinson, who has also authored a book, Why You Should Be a Socialist.

01:12:39.000 Is that grifting?

01:12:40.000 Wow.

01:12:41.000 In a tweet accompanying the letter, managing and amusements editor Lita Gold wrote, Wow.

01:12:45.000 I am grieved to tell you that Nathan J. Robson has effectively fired me and most of the current

01:12:49.000 affairs staff because we're trying to organize into a workers' co-op.

01:12:52.000 This isn't a bit.

01:12:53.000 I wish it was." 0.96

01:12:54.000 Wow.

01:12:55.000 Wow.

01:12:56.000 I don't think these, you know, I guess what he said was that, you know, socialism in practice

01:13:03.000 is a lot easier, or I'm sorry, in theory is a lot easier than it is in practice.

01:13:06.000 So why would you fire them though?

01:13:10.000 I really don't look, I run a company, we've got employees.

01:13:13.000 And when these stories have come up, I've always thought like, I don't understand why these people care so much.

01:13:18.000 Yeah.

01:13:19.000 I mean, as someone who has some experience working in government, unionization is a tricky issue because in some respect, yeah, you know, collective bargaining and the benefits of being in a union, but oftentimes it makes doing work somewhat more difficult, which is why I think one of the reasons you see a lot of left-leaning institutions fight against charter schools is because Charter schools typically don't have unionized teachers.

01:13:50.000 The teacher unions don't have as much power over charters as they do over government schools.

01:13:54.000 So, I mean, I could see how it gets complicated.

01:13:59.000 An employer might feel like, you know, if their staff unionizes that they are going to lose some power, which they very well might.

01:14:07.000 But the irony, the delicious irony, Is that this happens all the time with the left.

01:14:13.000 I think you've seen it with defund the police.

01:14:16.000 Yeah.

01:14:17.000 I'm thinking my mind always goes to Seattle where the mayor allowed, you know, radicals and anarchists to take over, you know, part of her city.

01:14:28.000 And she said, you know, Chop Chop Chaz is a summer of love.

01:14:33.000 Until a member of the city council marched them to her house. 0.99

01:14:37.000 Then she shut it down like the next day.

01:14:39.000 You see this all of the time where it's like they make rules for the little people to follow that they don't want to follow themselves.

01:14:47.000 And I think that is one of the fundamental flaws and weaknesses of that particular line of thinking, that worldview, is that it's always going to eat itself.

01:14:57.000 You know what I was thinking?

01:14:58.000 I'm just like, this guy for the Socialist Magazine is probably, and I mean this to the right of me, politically.

01:15:04.000 Right.

01:15:04.000 Because as much, I think, look, I can favor certain economic policies, but I really do think, well, I'll put it this way, idealistically, I'm pretty left libertarian.

01:15:14.000 Realistically, I'm kind of like centrist, like moderate liberal type.

01:15:17.000 Although that's politically homeless at this point, because I don't know what makes sense.

01:15:21.000 But, you know, when I'm thinking about a union forming, I'm like, yeah, I don't care.

01:15:26.000 If they come and they're like, hey, we want all these things, I'll be like, is it possible?

01:15:29.000 Okay.

01:15:30.000 I don't know why I need all that power or why I need to be debating people if, like, this is what they're looking for.

01:15:35.000 Now, I can certainly understand when they bring in external unions and then they just, you know, can meddle in the affairs and all that stuff that I get.

01:15:43.000 Right.

01:15:43.000 I mean, it's the same thing going back to BLM.

01:15:44.000 the Young Turks when he snapped at his employees.

01:15:47.000 It's because they personally want power.

01:15:49.000 They're authoritarian.

01:15:50.000 They're capitalists.

01:15:51.000 Pay more power to them.

01:15:53.000 But they're masquerading as progressives.

01:15:55.000 I mean, same thing going back to BLM.

01:16:00.000 By the end of 2020, Patrisse Cullors had, I think she had a deal with Time Warner.

01:16:05.000 Oh, she had five houses. 0.99

01:16:06.000 She had amassed a pretty impressive real estate portfolio.

01:16:10.000 I mean, the leaders were living pretty high on the hog, and it just goes to show you that capitalism in our country, as imperfect as it is, and really a lot of it is corporatism, but for the sake of argument, Capitalism is so powerful in this country that even Marxists can find a market and make money off it.

01:16:30.000 Yes!

01:16:30.000 Capitalism is so powerful that even the socialists are capitalists.

01:16:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:35.000 You saw that.

01:16:36.000 So for all their talk, and whether it's them or Colin Kaepernick, I mean, these are some well-heeled revolutionaries.

01:16:42.000 That's for sure.

01:16:43.000 It's true.

01:16:45.000 It's like a revolution in the revolution.

01:16:46.000 They decided, you know, we can just make money doing this.

01:16:48.000 It's like the Ibram Kendi thing you mentioned.

01:16:50.000 He's not actually going to come out and be like, hey, this ID thing is wrong.

01:16:53.000 No.

01:16:53.000 I mean, there's a great opportunity for him to like, think about this.

01:16:57.000 If he was principled, so maybe he will do it.

01:16:59.000 I don't think he will.

01:16:59.000 Maybe he will.

01:17:00.000 I don't.

01:17:00.000 Could you imagine he has an opportunity right now to come out and say, I told you this.

01:17:05.000 I told you the state would do this.

01:17:07.000 De Blasio is racist and he's doing it right now. 0.91

01:17:09.000 And in fact, people would probably be like, De Blasio is racist. 0.96

01:17:11.000 We don't like him.

01:17:13.000 And that's part of the reason I wrote the article, because I would be truly curious to see whether he would take such a principled position, or any of his acolytes, not just him.

01:17:24.000 He may not do it, but to see anyone who believes in his version of quote-unquote anti-racism, I would love to see them actually take that principled step and say, we said that any policy that has disproportionate impacts on different ethnic groups is racist, This one has it.

01:17:40.000 We're calling it racist and we stand by it.

01:17:42.000 Imagine getting to stand up at a press conference and say, we warned you.

01:17:47.000 We begged you.

01:17:48.000 The government would do this.

01:17:50.000 And it is a Democrat who did it in our faces.

01:17:54.000 You'd have just like, look it, look it, look it, we're right.

01:17:57.000 But they don't want to do it because then they're actually going up against their political agenda.

01:18:00.000 Right.

01:18:01.000 And I mean, talk about strange bedfellows.

01:18:02.000 If Ibram Kendi ends up being the patron saint of the right's anti-vaccine mandate push, right?

01:18:10.000 If he is on a stage with Ted Cruz and they're both saying, we're both against vaccine mandates, we may be against them for different reasons.

01:18:18.000 Yeah.

01:18:19.000 I mean, I think everybody would freak out at that point.

01:18:22.000 See, that's principle, right?

01:18:23.000 Right.

01:18:24.000 So, you know, I'll take it to Joe Biden.

01:18:27.000 He gave that speech on Afghanistan.

01:18:29.000 And a lot of conservatives are just saying it was bad.

01:18:30.000 It was awful.

01:18:32.000 Then you had Clarissa Ward, CNN reporter on the ground in Afghanistan. 0.61

01:18:36.000 She's wearing the burqa. 0.99

01:18:37.000 And she said they're chanting death to America.

01:18:41.000 But they're also seemingly friendly.

01:18:43.000 It's bizarre.

01:18:44.000 And what happened?

01:18:45.000 A lot of conservatives cut out the it's bizarre part.

01:18:47.000 Yeah.

01:18:47.000 And only showed the first part.

01:18:50.000 It's very clear when you when you add the it's bizarre, she was contrasting what they were saying and doing is two different things.

01:18:54.000 Right.

01:18:54.000 Granted, I do think her words were, you know, poorly, poorly chosen.

01:18:57.000 But in terms of Biden's speech, Cassandra Fairbanks, a good friend of mine, said she actually thought it was a good speech because he said things that needed to be said.

01:19:03.000 Like we shouldn't be, you know, passing the buck on this war.

01:19:06.000 We shouldn't be sending our kids to go fight this.

01:19:09.000 But when you're speaking on principle, You will often find that the people who follow you get mad because they might be speaking on a tribe for tribal reasons.

01:19:16.000 So, you know, following someone like Mike Cernovich, he's criticized Trump a lot.

01:19:22.000 And the Trump supporters get mad at him like, oh, what happened to you?

01:19:24.000 And he's like, I'm being honest.

01:19:25.000 I'm telling you exactly how I feel as I've always done.

01:19:28.000 So if Kendi and his other critical race theorists were actually functioning on principle, they'd have come out in two seconds and been like, no way.

01:19:35.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:19:36.000 Absolutely.

01:19:37.000 Absolutely.

01:19:38.000 And I mean, I know there are all different types of policy areas, you know, social, domestic, economic, political, that a person like Kendi could apply, you know, his principles.

01:19:52.000 If Black Lives Matter was really an honest slogan and an honest organization, they would plant themselves in front of every Planned Parenthood in the black community. 0.98

01:20:01.000 Which Planned Parenthoods typically target communities of color and the same people who will say we're against liquor stores and the people pushing cigarettes in low-income black communities, for some reason they don't take that same approach when it comes to Planned Parenthood.

01:20:21.000 Candy wouldn't do that because in New York City, and a lot of people don't know this, about half of all of black women's pregnancies end in abortion in New York City. 1.00

01:20:32.000 So half of all black babies are aborted in New York City.

01:20:35.000 If you want to talk about something that's systemic, there it is.

01:20:38.000 But again, His anti-racism is only useful to their position to the extent that it furthers their political goals.

01:20:45.000 So certain things they'll say, you know what, we'd rather talk about these 19 police shootings a year than talk about, you know, street crime or abortion or the state of urban education.

01:20:57.000 You know, those are different issues for a different day.

01:21:01.000 That's true.

01:21:02.000 up on live action, or is it live action?

01:21:04.000 Live action.

01:21:05.000 Live action.

01:21:06.000 And they said that black women account for 38% of all US abortions.

01:21:11.000 That sounds really creepy to me.

01:21:14.000 That's true.

01:21:17.000 And so that's why, for me, I always question, I think, like, how do I put this?

01:21:26.000 I mean, someone really has to be doing a number on you for you to think that it makes sense to give 90% of your political support to a party whose central policy, or one of them, I'd probably say the top three, is to keep your population at exactly 13%.

01:21:46.000 That's what I was thinking when you started talking about it.

01:21:47.000 I'm like, Planned Parenthood's been around for a long, long time.

01:21:50.000 What is it, a hundred years or something?

01:21:52.000 And I was looking at a map from Planned Parenthood, and they do have a bunch of minority area centers.

01:21:59.000 And I'm thinking, I wonder what the population size would have been for the black and Hispanic community if Planned Parenthood wasn't doing that.

01:22:05.000 Absolutely.

01:22:09.000 Absolutely.

01:22:11.000 And I mean, again, the Democrats talk a good game about race, but you know where their policy priorities lie, because every time a Supreme Court nominee comes up, they don't ask them their views on Brown vs. Board of Ed.

01:22:27.000 They ask them their views on Roe vs. Wade.

01:22:30.000 So that is one of their central policies.

01:22:33.000 And for whatever reason, you know, black leaders don't question it. 1.00

01:22:37.000 And so I always ask people, I say, do you think the position of most black Americans would be the same on abortion if it was Republicans who were pushing it?

01:22:46.000 If Ted Cruz was the one saying, no, we need more abortion clinics in Houston and Dallas, do you really think that black voters will respond the same?

01:22:52.000 And I've yet to get a good answer to that.

01:22:54.000 But that's one of those things where, for me, when I write, part of what I'm trying to do is recapture some of the territory that the left has taken while some of the leaders in my community, quote unquote, have been asleep at the wheel.

01:23:08.000 That's a strategy for conservatives, I guess.

01:23:11.000 Just come out and be like, you know what we thought about it?

01:23:14.000 Yeah, they're right.

01:23:14.000 Keep doing it.

01:23:15.000 And then have people be like, wait, but they're racists.

01:23:18.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, no, that's okay, we agree.

01:23:20.000 That's the age old thing, right?

01:23:22.000 If you want teenagers to stop doing something, just get their parents to do it and say, hey, look, we're getting tattoos all over our face.

01:23:28.000 We're smoking six packs a day.

01:23:29.000 We're just like you now.

01:23:31.000 And they'll say, I don't want to be like my parents.

01:23:34.000 You know, I have a question.

01:23:37.000 They say that, what's it saying, that the path to the electorate in the black community is through the church or something to that effect?

01:23:43.000 You've heard something like that?

01:23:45.000 I have.

01:23:47.000 I think that may be an outdated way of thinking, particularly for younger generations.

01:23:52.000 Right, right, right.

01:23:52.000 Now people, let's say, you know, black voters over 65 who are still heavily church-going, I could see that.

01:24:01.000 So, I mean, you saw that in the Democratic primary, where Biden captured South Carolina, you know, on the strength of a lot of older black female voters, many of whom are churchgoing.

01:24:12.000 The younger demographic, that is a lot less the case.

01:24:15.000 So you can see that shift in the civil rights movement from a faith-based movement into a more sort of secular, secular humanist movement.

01:24:26.000 BLM has nothing to do- And not Marxist.

01:24:28.000 Right and outright Marxist.

01:24:31.000 So I think for younger generations that's less the case.

01:24:34.000 I think in many respects the church has a lot less influence in the black community than it used to.

01:24:41.000 I would actually take a more controversial position on why that is because for a lot of people they think of the black church as primarily a service provision organization.

01:24:52.000 It's basically the NAACP but with a sort of you know a spiritual twist to it.

01:25:00.000 I would argue that the black church has lost a lot of its significance because it stopped preaching the gospel and it's losing people because As more and more black folk got, you know, became more economically independent and more upwardly mobile, the need for a service provision organization went away.

01:25:21.000 And the church's relevance has waned a lot since, you know, Dr. King's age.

01:25:25.000 But I'm sure for a lot of Democratic pollsters, they still think that the church is the way to go.

01:25:29.000 But in 50 years, I would be curious to see, you know, what that looks like.

01:25:35.000 Is that good or bad?

01:25:37.000 Which part?

01:25:38.000 The loss of influence from the church.

01:25:40.000 Oh, it's terrible.

01:25:41.000 I think in general, the decline in religious affiliation is bad for the country.

01:25:49.000 And I say it this way, and I realize people have all different types of political views and theological views, and I respect that.

01:25:59.000 I do think that there's a place in the public square for religious people.

01:26:06.000 I think that this last couple of years has shown that there's an innate need in humanity to worship something.

01:26:16.000 For a lot of us, politics has filled that void.

01:26:19.000 Yeah.

01:26:19.000 That religion used to fill.

01:26:22.000 And that's why you see, you know, the sort of political partisanship almost take on a religious feel.

01:26:30.000 Now, I would sort of make the argument tongue-in-cheek that for the right, that looks a little bit more Catholic, small c. So where you have a figure like Trump, who almost functions as a Pope, The things that he says to some of his supporters, that he says from his office, you know, ex-cathedra, are almost like the gospel to them.

01:26:50.000 And on the left, I would liken that more to a more Protestant, small P type of religion, because there's always something to protest. 0.98

01:26:58.000 There's always environmentalism, it's racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and that desire to find something to give my life some meaning.

01:27:12.000 You see that playing out in our day-to-day discourse on politics and in every other area.

01:27:19.000 I think.

01:27:21.000 Again, as a Christian, I would obviously I am I want to advance a biblical Christian worldview.

01:27:27.000 I realize other people have different views, but I think part of what makes America America is to have that public square.

01:27:36.000 And I think protecting that, you know, I think of Frederick Douglass.

01:27:41.000 He talked about the three boxes of liberty.

01:27:43.000 He talked about the jury box.

01:27:47.000 The ballot box and the cartridge box.

01:27:50.000 Was that Frederick Douglass?

01:27:51.000 Yeah.

01:27:51.000 I would add a fourth one, the soapbox.

01:27:53.000 Oh, right.

01:27:54.000 And I think having a robust First Amendment where people can come and debate and discuss issues, whether they have the same worldview, the same political ideology or not, that's something that we need to have a healthy functioning republic.

01:28:09.000 Was that Frederick Douglass said that?

01:28:10.000 Cartridge boxes?

01:28:11.000 I don't know if they had cartridges.

01:28:12.000 Oh, they definitely had cartridges back in the 1800s.

01:28:15.000 The three boxes of liberty.

01:28:16.000 I'm not sure if he was the first person to say it, but he's probably the most famous person to say, talked about the three boxes of liberty.

01:28:23.000 Well, it's a good quote either way.

01:28:26.000 Man, it just makes me...

01:28:29.000 I think we have a shared moral framework, whatever this faction might end up being.

01:28:36.000 I'm not a Christian.

01:28:36.000 I grew up Catholic, briefly.

01:28:38.000 I do believe in God, but I have my own weird spirituality and worldview or whatever.

01:28:44.000 But I do have a moral framework that is built upon the traditions of Judeo-Christian faith.

01:28:49.000 And I obviously recognize that.

01:28:51.000 And I think a lot of people in America do, and one of the examples I often use is Bill Maher.

01:28:55.000 Bill Maher very clearly holds values that are rooted in a Judeo-Christian moral framework, notably the right of the innocent to be... you're innocent until proven guilty, which is rooted in Blackstone's formulation, which is rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

01:29:08.000 If there's but one righteous person, I will not destroy the city.

01:29:12.000 But the woke don't have that moral framework.

01:29:14.000 They have a lack of a moral framework.

01:29:16.000 And so I was I've been thinking about this for a while, you know, about why it is that they're so diametrically opposed and what the factions really are.

01:29:23.000 And I'm like, well, they don't have a moral framework at all.

01:29:25.000 Yesterday, they can say X is good.

01:29:27.000 Tomorrow, they'll say X is bad.

01:29:29.000 Right.

01:29:29.000 You know, if enough people say that X is bad.

01:29:31.000 Right.

01:29:31.000 So there's no there's no grounded moral framework.

01:29:33.000 It's literally just what the group says is so.

01:29:36.000 Whereas for me, I'm like, I don't care what the group says.

01:29:39.000 I know my moral framework.

01:29:40.000 Yeah.

01:29:41.000 Yeah.

01:29:41.000 So I think a lot of what a lot of our political debates are sort of geometric debates.

01:29:48.000 Right.

01:29:48.000 It's about drawing lines.

01:29:49.000 The question is, where is the line going to be drawn and by what standard?

01:29:53.000 So the left definitely is religious.

01:29:56.000 As I said, it's just that religion may be a religion of self.

01:30:00.000 It may be a religion of scientism or safetyism.

01:30:04.000 But the way that the woke sort of framed their arguments, oftentimes in a religious, you know, with religious language, slavery and racism as original sin, right?

01:30:17.000 Talking about issues like reparations as it relates to paying off a debt, which again draws on some, you know, Christian language in terms of what believers believe that Christ did on the cross, right?

01:30:32.000 To pay a debt for sinners.

01:30:34.000 The problem with the woke's religion is that it's God is never fully and finally satisfied. 0.86

01:30:41.000 So the Christian believes that Christ paid our sin debt on the cross with his death, burial, and resurrection.

01:30:49.000 But for the left, it's God is never propitiated.

01:30:53.000 There's no forgiveness.

01:30:54.000 No forgiveness.

01:30:56.000 So they believe in sin the same way that I do, right?

01:31:00.000 Microaggressions, that's what it is.

01:31:01.000 It's, you know, small sins.

01:31:03.000 I mispronounce your name.

01:31:05.000 I thought you were the wrong Hispanic guy in the office.

01:31:09.000 Oh, and now I have to get, you know, smacked on the hand by HR.

01:31:13.000 So they believe in some of the same principles in terms of sin and offense and atonement.

01:31:21.000 It's just as I said, their God is never satisfied.

01:31:24.000 And I think you see that saga, that cosmic saga is playing out in our politics on a day-to-day basis.

01:31:33.000 It'll be interesting in 10 years when these kids either... I hear a lot of stories that young kids are anti-woke because they're telling their teachers... Who wants to be like their teacher?

01:31:43.000 The teacher comes out and the teacher's a loser.

01:31:47.000 The kids don't view the teachers as cool. 0.97

01:31:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:50.000 I mean, I think, I mean, there's always I learned this, you know, taking engineering like there's always, you know, you swing a pendulum one way, it eventually is going to swing back.

01:32:00.000 I'd be curious to see what that looks like.

01:32:03.000 You know, where the kids take on a certain anti authoritarian strain.

01:32:07.000 Sometimes it's hard to see that because when I see kids who are four and five years old, when as soon as they get out of the car, the first thing they're doing is reaching for their mask.

01:32:17.000 Even my two-year-old, now he's three.

01:32:19.000 At the time he was two, we would, you know, go somewhere and he said, Dad, where's my mask?

01:32:25.000 And I'm like, you don't need a mask.

01:32:27.000 We're outside.

01:32:28.000 You're in the park.

01:32:28.000 Just go and play.

01:32:30.000 But a lot of our kids are being conditioned in the same way that adults are.

01:32:37.000 And I hope what we don't end up seeing is an even larger increase in anxiety and depression and neuroticism and all the other things that we've been seeing play out for, you know, the better part of the last 20 years.

01:32:53.000 Yeah, man.

01:32:54.000 Well, we can be optimistic, to the best of our abilities.

01:32:57.000 For sure.

01:32:58.000 I teeter back and forth sometimes, depending on what's going on, you know.

01:33:01.000 There's optimism in, you know, we already shouted out Michael Malice, shout him out again.

01:33:05.000 He's very optimistic. 0.99

01:33:06.000 He says, these people are so dumb, how could you possibly be pessimistic? 0.99

01:33:08.000 And I'm like, it's not a bad point, you know. 1.00

01:33:12.000 But zombies are dumb and a lot of zombies can overrun a city, you know, so. 0.98

01:33:15.000 That's true. 0.98

01:33:16.000 My hope is that eventually people's eyes will open So whether it's foreign policy in Afghanistan, whether it's people who were saying defund the police last year, saying refund the police this year, all of these issues, the socialist who fires all of his employees and want to unionize.

01:33:36.000 That was so good!

01:33:37.000 What I'm hoping is that people see that the people that we think are elites and the smartest people in our society have no idea what they're doing.

01:33:47.000 And honestly, in many respects, like we were talking about homeschooling, nobody has done more to advocate and advance the cause of school choice and homeschooling than the teachers unions.

01:33:56.000 They have done a way better job of promoting homeschooling than any GOP politician ever could.

01:34:02.000 So when you see how not just corrupt, but incompetent the leadership class is, It'll make people say, you know what?

01:34:12.000 Why should I listen to these people?

01:34:13.000 They have no idea what they're talking about, about anything, so.

01:34:16.000 Yeah, right on.

01:34:17.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats.

01:34:17.000 If you haven't already, give us a nice little smash that like button for Ian.

01:34:22.000 Love tap.

01:34:24.000 And subscribe to the channel and share with your friends.

01:34:26.000 We're going to have a members only segment which comes up around 11 or so p.m., so make sure you hang around for that.

01:34:31.000 And go to TimCast.com, subscribe if you want to watch it.

01:34:33.000 Let's read some of the Super Chats. 0.94

01:34:35.000 Common Sense Fishing says, a little common sense goes a long way.

01:34:39.000 Like Tim said, get out of the cities.

01:34:41.000 May I add, also, learn how to fish.

01:34:43.000 I also have a fishing channel, by the way.

01:34:45.000 LOL Ian and you guys would love a day fishing on a boat.

01:34:49.000 Tight lines.

01:34:50.000 I'd love to just go on a boat and go fishing.

01:34:52.000 I'm not a big... I'm not big into it.

01:34:54.000 My dad used to take me fishing when I was little and I remember their bulging eyes and gasping for life as I would yank them out.

01:35:00.000 I'm like, what was the point of it?

01:35:01.000 And then we'd throw it back in the water.

01:35:02.000 I was like, why did we do it?

01:35:03.000 He's like, it's fun.

01:35:04.000 And I was like, I don't...

01:35:05.000 So we got this fungus ice cream today.

01:35:08.000 I saw an article about it.

01:35:09.000 I got the idea because you mentioned the bulging eyes and gasping for life.

01:35:12.000 It's animal free dairy.

01:35:15.000 They genetically engineered a fungus to make whey protein.

01:35:19.000 Interesting.

01:35:20.000 And so now it's like...

01:35:22.000 They made ice cream with it.

01:35:24.000 And so I was, I was like, we got to try it.

01:35:26.000 Let's see if it, oh, it's legit.

01:35:28.000 It's called Brave Robot.

01:35:29.000 And I was surprised.

01:35:30.000 It's like way from fungus is the future.

01:35:33.000 They're going to grow your meat in a Petri dish. 0.99

01:35:35.000 I know you're shaking your head.

01:35:38.000 You wouldn't even know it if you tasted it.

01:35:40.000 But once I do know it, I won't want to chase it.

01:35:44.000 But that's your solution, Ian.

01:35:46.000 We can make fish protein from a fungus and then you can just eat that.

01:35:49.000 Okay.

01:35:51.000 All right, we got Matthew Gregory here.

01:35:53.000 He says, my brother-in-law passed away recently and a GoFundMe was started to help with funeral expenses.

01:35:59.000 Since I've heard people advertise for businesses on here, any help would be appreciated at Christopher Roten Funeral Expenses.

01:36:06.000 That's Christopher R-H-O-T-E-N. 0.99

01:36:10.000 Sorry to hear it, man.

01:36:11.000 I wish you guys the best.

01:36:12.000 Hopefully your GoFundMe works out and, you know, people can donate.

01:36:15.000 That would be fantastic.

01:36:16.000 Yeah.

01:36:18.000 Ameridos America says, take a look at the intro to the game Shattered Union.

01:36:23.000 Seems to have a lot of similarities to what's going on.

01:36:25.000 Hmm.

01:36:27.000 All right.

01:36:27.000 This one's short, but good.

01:36:28.000 Mike Hockey says, I'm surrounded by nuts.

01:36:31.000 I wonder if that's figurative or literal, like you're sitting in a room full of like almonds or something.

01:36:35.000 Too many almonds.

01:36:36.000 Yeah.

01:36:38.000 Okay.

01:36:39.000 What is this?

01:36:41.000 Leguma Thigayen, I think I'm pronouncing that right.

01:36:46.000 Fear not comrades, the magical unicorn gumdrop rainbow and fairy Marxist utopia is at hand. 0.93

01:36:51.000 Dear leader, Kamala shall lead us to the glorious victory over vile specter of the working class white people, capitalism, rape culture, cis-heteronormative patriarchy, and male privates. 0.94

01:37:02.000 Beautiful, thank you for that.

01:37:03.000 I censored that last part.

01:37:05.000 This is YouTube, they don't like naughty words.

01:37:09.000 All right, let's see.

01:37:10.000 Crandall Logans has amazing news to share, Mr. Poole.

01:37:12.000 I have just gotten my first handgun, the Taurus Judge Revolver.

01:37:16.000 It is a three-inch barrel and a three-inch chamber.

01:37:18.000 It is chambered in .45 Long Colt and two-and-a-half to three-inch 410 bore shotgun shells.

01:37:23.000 I am so excited.

01:37:24.000 I, too, am a owner of the Judge and the Governor.

01:37:30.000 I have them both.

01:37:30.000 How are you?

01:37:31.000 How do you feel about guns?

01:37:31.000 guns you have guns? Private question? I believe in the second amendment you know and I think

01:37:41.000 every law-abiding citizen should avail themselves of their rights.

01:37:46.000 So I'll say this.

01:37:47.000 I grew up in New York.

01:37:49.000 I had a very, very different relationship with guns, firearms growing up.

01:37:55.000 When I was coming up, gun meant someone is trying to kill somebody else, right?

01:38:00.000 Rarely did you hear about people shooting a burglar or a robber.

01:38:05.000 My wife is from Texas. 1.00

01:38:07.000 She grew up in a very different culture related to guns.

01:38:10.000 And my views have evolved over the years.

01:38:13.000 But I will say this.

01:38:14.000 I think as many, you know, as I do on many issues, I believe in more responsibility for the individual.

01:38:24.000 And I take my family's safety and security as my primary responsibility.

01:38:29.000 So whatever, you know, tools that a person wants to use to make that happen, I'm all for.

01:38:35.000 That's a good way to put it.

01:38:36.000 Yeah.

01:38:37.000 Aura Quirena.

01:38:40.000 Sounds like she agrees with you, Ian.

01:38:41.000 She says, Tim, it's almost like the Biden admin did this to justify the U.S.

01:38:45.000 going back in.

01:38:46.000 I don't know, but it's hard to believe the government oversight is this bad.

01:38:49.000 I, you know, but Biden... So incompetent. 0.95

01:38:52.000 Maybe that's, that's the grand conspiracy was they were like, we need to be believable when we, when, when, when we script so bad, we have to go back in.

01:38:59.000 Biden will be believable.

01:39:00.000 The Republicans will call him demented for months.

01:39:02.000 Then when Afghanistan fails, no one will believe it was on purpose. 0.74

01:39:06.000 I don't think it was on purpose.

01:39:07.000 I think Biden is just not with it.

01:39:10.000 He's not there.

01:39:10.000 And there's no, there's no, there's no central force in the decision-making process.

01:39:15.000 So there was, I think it was Millie who said, when they said, why didn't you evacuate people through Bagram Air Force Base, which is a military installation.

01:39:23.000 And he said, I was ordered to guard the embassy.

01:39:26.000 So somebody told him to do something else.

01:39:29.000 It's probably Biden.

01:39:31.000 Yep.

01:39:31.000 All right.

01:39:34.000 Let's see.

01:39:36.000 James M says, blowback.

01:39:38.000 Tell that to all the Afghanis we abandoned and our allies who rely on our protection. 1.00

01:39:42.000 Being willing to fight evil makes us stronger.

01:39:46.000 Man, it's a tough situation.

01:39:48.000 Some people are saying I'm shilling for the deep state by saying that there's sometimes reasons for intervention, which I'm like, I'm not necessarily saying it's a good thing.

01:39:55.000 I'm fairly anti-intervention.

01:39:57.000 And then others are saying like, no, we have to defend our allies.

01:39:59.000 Yo, look, I'm not the arbiter of morality and truth.

01:40:03.000 I'm just telling you what I think and you can tell me I'm wrong all day and night.

01:40:05.000 I'm fine with it.

01:40:05.000 I think you made a good point about About how if we just sat here and never got involved that some some authoritarian government would surround us and then we basically be starved out from siege warfare economically.

01:40:16.000 And so like we got to we got to instill what I want to do.

01:40:19.000 My goal is to instill these values of freedom that we have in the United States across the world to every human to give them all access to running water, Internet, electricity, transportation, food, shelter.

01:40:32.000 I don't know that we can do that politically.

01:40:34.000 We definitely I don't definitely don't think we can do it through like a Democrat Republican

01:40:37.000 party politics.

01:40:41.000 It's like you got to do it on an individual level and then and then show people that extrapolate the individual process.

01:40:49.000 I don't know.

01:40:51.000 I don't know.

01:40:51.000 But what I heard you say just now, you talked about, you know, food, shelter, running water.

01:40:55.000 I hear resources, not necessarily the values of freedom, because someone who make the argument that a central government, right, a socialist government would provide those things.

01:41:06.000 But so they don't I don't necessarily see having those resources be being provided in every country as necessarily being linked to our understanding of freedom.

01:41:20.000 I think they can be.

01:41:22.000 But someone would, as I said, make the argument that you don't need a free market economy.

01:41:27.000 You don't need liberal democracy in order to provide water, food and shelter to your citizens.

01:41:32.000 And in fact, They may say you can provide those things more effectively through a centralized planned government than you can, you know, free enterprise.

01:41:40.000 Yeah, we'd like to use the military to build solar-powered water condensation across the world in like desert tribes and cities and houses and stuff like that.

01:41:49.000 But forcing freedom, I mean, good point.

01:41:53.000 How do you do that?

01:41:55.000 All right, we got Ted 2.

01:41:56.000 He says, active military.

01:41:58.000 The other day we did a brief exercise on care for casualties followed by an entire day of SHARP slash EO training.

01:42:05.000 Soldiers were essentially told that they think like rapists and any pushback was steamrolled.

01:42:09.000 Oh, wow. 0.69

01:42:11.000 Creepy.

01:42:12.000 I don't like that.

01:42:14.000 Yeah, Taka No Kage says, I can't stop thinking this was done on purpose, not incompetence.

01:42:19.000 I don't know. 0.73

01:42:22.000 Crazy.

01:42:22.000 Hanlon's Razor.

01:42:23.000 Yeah, man.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:42:25.000 Especially with Biden.

01:42:25.000 He's proven he's not, you know.

01:42:27.000 Swingdip says, just saw your Nollie hardflip rewind video.

01:42:31.000 I had no idea you could shred like that.

01:42:32.000 When will we see a Tim Pool skate video at the compound?

01:42:35.000 I mean, in one of the vlogs, I did a hang 10 hardflip, and you can look hang 10 hardflip up on YouTube from my buddy Brett Novak's channel.

01:42:44.000 And this is the craziest thing.

01:42:46.000 There's a video of me skateboarding when I was 18 or 19.

01:42:48.000 It's one of the first videos ever on YouTube.

01:42:52.000 And it had like 5,000 views for a decade.

01:42:56.000 And now it has like half a million or something.

01:42:58.000 It's a great video.

01:42:59.000 Because people keep getting suggested it and it's just a video of me skating when I was a teenager.

01:43:03.000 Wow.

01:43:04.000 And it's not like the greatest skateboarding in the world, it's just a few like little, you know, silly tricks I was doing.

01:43:08.000 That's how the value of producing a lot of work, if you want to be successful, because the stuff eventually, if you keep making work, one will break you through.

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 And then they go back and watch your entire body.

01:43:19.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:43:20.000 Well, you can go watch that, I guess, but, you know, we'll get some skate videos at some point.

01:43:24.000 I was actually skateboarding the other day.

01:43:26.000 I've been rollerblading quite a bit.

01:43:28.000 Something new, something fun, but I was skateboarding the other day, too, because some of the guys out here, we got more people working, and so we've got some skateboarders, and it's a lot of fun.

01:43:36.000 Alright, let's see.

01:43:38.000 Mac 3N says, just wanted to say that your stream yesterday was good, but it hit the feels hard.

01:43:43.000 Myself and a lot of my army buddies are having issues with the way the withdrawal happened.

01:43:48.000 Keep doing what you're doing.

01:43:49.000 Your work helps people more than you know.

01:43:51.000 Hey man, really appreciate it.

01:43:52.000 Well, we called out to people we knew had experience.

01:43:55.000 You know, Jack Posobiec, he served, but he wasn't in Afghanistan.

01:43:59.000 And Forrest was an army ranger in Afghanistan, and I was like, these would be perspectives that I think would be good, you know, to have on and talk with, so.

01:44:05.000 I talked to Forrest after the show.

01:44:07.000 We were hanging out outside and talking about post-traumatic stress and he had a very insightful comment about it that a lot of soldiers in combat, combat's the most real thing you're ever going to experience.

01:44:18.000 Everything else dies away and you just see what's happening.

01:44:22.000 You see your buddy freaking out and you push him on the ground and get the job done.

01:44:26.000 And then when you come back here and you see people talking past each other, afraid to be honest, Mike Sullivan says, with all due respect, Tim, you say that at least we are finally out?

01:44:36.000 We now have twice the troops in the country we did a month ago.

01:44:39.000 how real life can be.

01:44:42.000 So I empathize with you.

01:44:44.000 Mike Sullivan says, With all due respect, Tim, you say that at least we are finally

01:44:48.000 out?

01:44:49.000 We now have twice the troops in the country we did a month ago.

01:44:51.000 If 10K Americans are trapped, how many more do you see in the next month?

01:44:55.000 Yep.

01:44:57.000 So I'll rephrase.

01:44:58.000 I think it's good that we're making moves to get out, and we should.

01:45:02.000 But the problem is Biden screwed it up so bad, it almost feels like it's on purpose, to be completely honest.

01:45:07.000 Because now you've got people being like, Like, okay, okay, can we at least stabilize it and then leave maybe in a month or a couple months?

01:45:16.000 It'll turn into forever.

01:45:18.000 It'll turn into another 20 years.

01:45:19.000 You know, maybe what happens is Biden resigns in disgrace, or his 25th amendment did, and then Kamala Harris is like, I will not be the one to see these innocent people suffer!

01:45:29.000 And then, you know, you get more troops and more troops and more troops.

01:45:33.000 We've got the Milton Islamic Caliphate now is building up there, what are they called? 0.98

01:45:37.000 The Caliphate of Afghanistan or something?

01:45:39.000 Yeah.

01:45:40.000 That's what we did to Iran. 1.00

01:45:42.000 Little Tails Farm says, Tim, our Ayam Semani eggs hatch in a week.

01:45:46.000 We will record the process for everyone to see on our channel.

01:45:49.000 Thanks for all the good vibes you send.

01:45:51.000 We love the show and are big supporters of you and your crew.

01:45:53.000 Thank you very much.

01:45:54.000 We have three baby chicks.

01:45:57.000 Two of them are Leghorn Rhode Island Red Mixes.

01:46:00.000 Oh! 0.60

01:46:02.000 That's Margaret and Roberto.

01:46:03.000 Roberto's the Rhode Island Red.

01:46:04.000 He's a rooster.

01:46:06.000 And then we have... It's an Easter Egger Chicken, but I don't know exactly which one.

01:46:11.000 And so there's a little tiny brown chick, which is very cute.

01:46:13.000 And then there's two yellow poofy with like... One's got like a little like cool haircut. 1.00

01:46:17.000 It's got like black hair.

01:46:18.000 And the other one's got like a little brown spot.

01:46:21.000 And we've got 12, no I think we have 11 more eggs in the incubator right now starting a new cycle which is a really bad idea because winter is coming which means we're gonna have to keep them, we're gonna have to build a heated indoor space for them.

01:46:32.000 Oh boy.

01:46:33.000 But that would be fun, not hard to do and we could film it and it'll be fun and Chicken City's gonna end up with like, what is that gonna give us, like 21?

01:46:40.000 Oh gosh.

01:46:41.000 No, no, 24.

01:46:43.000 Yeah.

01:46:43.000 Lots of chickens.

01:46:44.000 I love the way they run.

01:46:45.000 They're so cute.

01:46:47.000 Follow each other.

01:46:48.000 Little dinosaurs.

01:46:49.000 So the chickens that we originally raised, we bought when they were a couple weeks old.

01:46:54.000 So they never really liked us.

01:46:56.000 You could hold them, but for the most part they'd, you know, get away from me and now they're adult chickens and there's only one, Vanessa.

01:47:03.000 She'll walk up to you and she'll hang out and you can actually very slowly pet her.

01:47:06.000 The rest of them just, like, scream and run, and Rooster will run up and go, like, in your face.

01:47:11.000 But, because we hatched and are raising these now, they're probably gonna be very, very human-friendly.

01:47:16.000 Yeah.

01:47:17.000 And they'll probably hang out, like, walk up to you and, like, you know, look around.

01:47:19.000 That'll be cool.

01:47:21.000 Chickens are great.

01:47:22.000 They're funny.

01:47:22.000 And they're food!

01:47:24.000 That is true.

01:47:25.000 All right.

01:47:26.000 The last of my kind says, had a scary moment.

01:47:29.000 I live just outside the city limits of Houston, and city workers went door to door passing out vaccine info, but I overheard them reporting over radio which houses were vaxxed.

01:47:37.000 What?

01:47:39.000 Interesting.

01:47:40.000 Wow.

01:47:41.000 I mean, I'm not necessarily surprised, but...

01:47:45.000 Alright, Nathan O'Connell says, with the executive branch in shambles, do you think the next move is to quickly pass a bill through to nationalize police force?

01:47:52.000 Any form of wrong think will get you in a camp or in jail.

01:47:56.000 Last ditch effort to hold onto power coming up next.

01:48:00.000 They need a lot more before they can do something like that.

01:48:02.000 Maybe the Delta variant, maybe the, was it Lambda or Epsilon?

01:48:05.000 The Epsilon and then Lambda.

01:48:07.000 Maybe there's a major lockdown and then they say, oh no, we have no choice.

01:48:11.000 It's hard in America, man.

01:48:13.000 We got it.

01:48:13.000 We got a first amendment and a second.

01:48:16.000 Makes it very, very difficult.

01:48:17.000 Dude, decentralized police is legit.

01:48:19.000 That was something I learned living in Chile, is seeing the national cops all over the place, because they don't have... Everyone's a fed.

01:48:26.000 Every cop is a fed in Chile. 0.96

01:48:27.000 So if the president says, do it, the entire National Police Force acts terrifying.

01:48:34.000 Let it never happen.

01:48:35.000 John Curry says, Tim, a bunch of businesses in NYC are suing NYC over the vaccine passports.

01:48:40.000 They are not all just accepting it.

01:48:42.000 Yes.

01:48:43.000 We did go over that the other day, and I'm glad to see it.

01:48:45.000 That's a good thing.

01:48:47.000 Hankinaround says, Tim, you're glad the troops are out?

01:48:50.000 At the risk of seeing an American assassinated every day for 30 years?

01:48:54.000 There's so much nuance to this.

01:48:56.000 The Americans should have been evacuated immediately. 1.00

01:48:58.000 Even Trump has said it.

01:49:00.000 Trump had a plan.

01:49:00.000 He said, first, you get the Americans out, you get our allies out, you take the military out, and you blow up the bases.

01:49:08.000 That was not done.

01:49:09.000 So now, we're in this predicament where, yeah, I guess we have no choice but to send in military.

01:49:14.000 Great.

01:49:15.000 Good job, Biden.

01:49:16.000 So look, I'm saying, Biden coming out and saying we should leave is a good thing.

01:49:20.000 Whether or not he actually can pull it off is entirely different. 0.99

01:49:23.000 So, I can't blame the guy and say he did it on purpose, I can only say he's a bumbling moron who made everything worse, and he can go down in history as being just that, a bumbling moron, and that's all he will ever be. 0.99

01:49:34.000 Although maybe it was on purpose, I honestly don't know. 0.99

01:49:37.000 If I had evidence to suggest it was, I'd absolutely be talking about it.

01:49:41.000 ZLVXC says, my older brother was supposed to go to college tomorrow, but his flight from Southwest got canceled without warning.

01:49:47.000 They didn't give a reason as to why.

01:49:49.000 Oh yeah.

01:49:50.000 We have seen many weird things happen with flights.

01:49:53.000 So we book guests all the time.

01:49:54.000 You know, like we have someone coming in every day.

01:49:56.000 We had one instance where someone checked into the flight, got to the gate with a ticket, and they said, you're not checked into the flight.

01:50:03.000 You can't get on this plane.

01:50:04.000 We had one person whose flight was booked Oddly, for the same time, his return and departure were the same time.

01:50:13.000 And then we saw the mass cancellations from Spirit and American Airlines.

01:50:16.000 Stories like this we hear a lot.

01:50:18.000 I'm almost wondering if they're just like, we can't sustain this.

01:50:21.000 Just, like, arbitrarily boot people for whatever reason.

01:50:23.000 Wow.

01:50:24.000 There's a fuel shortage.

01:50:25.000 There's a labor shortage.

01:50:26.000 Yeah.

01:50:26.000 So don't be surprised if you see more and more and more.

01:50:29.000 What was it?

01:50:30.000 The Green New Deal wanted to get rid of planes? 0.61

01:50:31.000 Yeah, I think that's part of it.

01:50:33.000 How convenient.

01:50:34.000 And cows.

01:50:35.000 And cows.

01:50:35.000 Yeah, farting cows.

01:50:36.000 No!

01:50:39.000 All right.

01:50:43.000 Prophet Position says, the soccer fields in Afghanistan were used for executions and public stoning by the Taliban.

01:50:49.000 Food for thought when you think about that soccer star.

01:50:51.000 Wow.

01:50:52.000 Yup.

01:50:56.000 Das Roos says, Professor D in the house, my favorite contributor on Fearless.

01:51:00.000 Yes.

01:51:01.000 Respect.

01:51:01.000 I appreciate that.

01:51:02.000 Das Raus says thoughts and prayers for Uncle Jimmy.

01:51:10.000 Yeah.

01:51:11.000 What's that all about?

01:51:12.000 So Uncle Jimmy, who's Jason Whitlock's sidekick on Fearless, came down with COVID a couple days ago.

01:51:21.000 So he's been, he was at home.

01:51:24.000 He did a segment on the show, probably I think last week.

01:51:28.000 But then he fell ill yesterday.

01:51:31.000 He had to get rushed to the hospital, but thankfully he's back home now.

01:51:34.000 I heard he's doing better.

01:51:35.000 Him and Whitlock are in constant communication, so definitely praying for Uncle Jimmy, hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.

01:51:43.000 And his two sons, who I think are also quarantining with him.

01:51:47.000 Right on, right on.

01:51:47.000 Hopefully they're all okay.

01:51:49.000 Yeah, he's a little bit older.

01:51:51.000 All right, Blackrock Beacon says, As you said, Tim, unequal enforcement of the law was acting as a sorting mechanism.

01:51:57.000 VAC's mandate for government workers, military, and police is too.

01:52:00.000 If they won't stand up for their own rights, they won't disobey orders to protect yours.

01:52:04.000 It's a purge.

01:52:06.000 Yeah, that's what's worrying.

01:52:10.000 All right.

01:52:11.000 Along the Watchtower says, If I have to pay to speak on this channel, isn't that our government in a nutshell?

01:52:18.000 I don't know, is it?

01:52:19.000 Pay to play?

01:52:20.000 Yeah.

01:52:20.000 Maybe, yeah.

01:52:21.000 I guess.

01:52:21.000 Technically.

01:52:24.000 Seth Houser says, on a scale of 1 to 10, how bad do you think it is?

01:52:28.000 In general?

01:52:28.000 7? 8?

01:52:32.000 Ten being the worst?

01:52:33.000 Yeah.

01:52:34.000 You gotta define it.

01:52:35.000 What is it?

01:52:35.000 Well, you know what, honestly?

01:52:36.000 How bad it is for me, personally?

01:52:38.000 It's one.

01:52:39.000 I've got, probably, top .00001% of humans on Earth right now.

01:52:45.000 Yeah?

01:52:45.000 Yeah.

01:52:46.000 Hashtag blessed, yeah.

01:52:47.000 And I should correct that, I should correct that, because what are we talking about?

01:52:49.000 Are we talking about, like, ten being the apocalypse and one being utopia?

01:52:52.000 Because then we're at, like, a two, basically.

01:52:54.000 Yeah.

01:52:55.000 Two is my first thought, was two.

01:52:56.000 Right, it's like, it's bad.

01:52:57.000 So if we're talking about American politics, Like where 10 is like a breaking point, then I think we're at a 9 or a 10.

01:53:03.000 Yeah.

01:53:04.000 But does that mean we're going to be, you know, then there's another scale after that.

01:53:08.000 So honestly, don't know how you- Right, specially catastrophically, 2 out of 10.

01:53:11.000 Yeah.

01:53:13.000 Well, no, I mean... We've got so much tech.

01:53:15.000 War. 0.98

01:53:16.000 War sucks. 1.00

01:53:17.000 Pollution. 0.99

01:53:18.000 Pollution's pretty bad.

01:53:19.000 Ocean acidification.

01:53:21.000 Massive drought.

01:53:21.000 We can withdraw the carbon from the atmosphere and repopulate the ocean with iron fertilization.

01:53:26.000 There's a lot of... Technology is really awesome right now.

01:53:29.000 You know what bugs me a lot about the climate zealot types is that they're missing one of the bigger pictures in this.

01:53:36.000 with the pollution is that it's the destabilization of the ecosystem balance.

01:53:40.000 Meaning it's not about whether the planet gets too hot.

01:53:43.000 It's about whether or not we've produced, you know, point one percent more waste

01:53:49.000 product of this particular element, which is causing a change in density in this

01:53:53.000 area, which then creates a ripple effect.

01:53:55.000 And so what happens is they talk about like, oh, climate change.

01:53:58.000 Conservatives are like, you know, what are you talking about?

01:54:00.000 And then we have people like Chris Martinson on and he's like, he's a doctor.

01:54:04.000 of PhD. And he says, people have noticed there's no more bugs hitting their windshields.

01:54:07.000 They did a study and found that over 20 years, substantially less bugs are in the air hitting windshields, which suggests a die-off in the population, potentially.

01:54:16.000 There's also ocean dead zones.

01:54:17.000 These things will have a massive impact.

01:54:19.000 So pollution plays a huge role.

01:54:21.000 All the wastewater coming out of the rivers into the ocean creates pockets of death.

01:54:24.000 Just nothing there.

01:54:26.000 And so that means fishing... What we're seeing now with fisheries being overfished is jellyfish moving in.

01:54:30.000 Now people are eating jellyfish.

01:54:31.000 Ooh, yeah, that's right.

01:54:32.000 The bugs, apparently the neonicotinoid pesticides, are messing with their ability to, like, use their infrared or whatever their thing...

01:54:40.000 But that's not considered their communication abilities.

01:54:43.000 It's not considered pollution.

01:54:45.000 It's a pesticide, but it's doing damage like pollution.

01:54:48.000 Yeah.

01:54:48.000 If it's, if this is actually the culprit, which it seems to be.

01:54:51.000 We got a Noel and Noel says this man is leadership material.

01:54:56.000 Oh, agreed.

01:55:00.000 All right.

01:55:02.000 Along the Watchtower says, do schools cover the cost of masks?

01:55:06.000 That's a good question.

01:55:07.000 It's a great question.

01:55:08.000 I feel like I read somewhere that some school districts were requiring masks as like part of their uniform policy.

01:55:15.000 And if that's the case, some may cover, but parents definitely have to buy their own uniforms.

01:55:19.000 That's for sure.

01:55:21.000 Yep, yep.

01:55:22.000 I think one Texas district made it part of the uniform to bypass the bans or whatever.

01:55:27.000 Matthew Hunter says, Ivermectin is FDA approved under the name stromectol.

01:55:32.000 Stop saying it isn't FDA approved.

01:55:33.000 That is medical misinfo.

01:55:35.000 Yes, I must correct.

01:55:36.000 Ivermectin is not FDA approved for treatment in COVID.

01:55:40.000 Ivermectin is an essential UN drug for a lot of reasons.

01:55:44.000 So that's why I'm just like, I'm not here to give you any medical advice, but that is a good correction.

01:55:49.000 Ivermectin isn't approved for COVID for treatment.

01:55:52.000 That's the big issue, I guess.

01:55:54.000 And we've had the debate.

01:55:55.000 We've pulled up the studies and the studies are, we're not at that point yet.

01:55:59.000 So whatever you want to believe about it, don't take your morality, your medical advice or financial advice from me.

01:56:04.000 And I'm not a lawyer either.

01:56:05.000 Or any YouTuber.

01:56:06.000 But I appreciate the correction.

01:56:07.000 Yeah, that is important.

01:56:10.000 Alright, let's see.

01:56:11.000 Let's see.

01:56:15.000 Jeffrey Parra says, First, love you guys and Delano.

01:56:18.000 Leftists today remind me of the Ori priors from Stargate. 1.00

01:56:21.000 Oh, really?

01:56:22.000 They are uncompromising and won't hesitate to destroy your life for the slightest disagreement.

01:56:26.000 How can we ever reconcile with them?

01:56:28.000 I don't know how many people know what the Ori are from Stargate.

01:56:32.000 Nope.

01:56:32.000 I don't know.

01:56:34.000 If you have groups that, that, um, won't negotiate.

01:56:38.000 Yeah.

01:56:38.000 What did, what did, uh, aggressive negotiations, I guess?

01:56:40.000 I don't know.

01:56:41.000 Sebastian Smith says, first time super chatting.

01:56:44.000 I have a friend in army artillery who just got orders to go to Afghanistan with no deployment date, not leaving anytime soon.

01:56:50.000 Hmm.

01:56:50.000 Interesting.

01:56:51.000 Yeah.

01:56:52.000 I wonder if they're just going to bolster the troops in Afghanistan.

01:56:54.000 This is the excuse.

01:56:55.000 Trump drew down our forces from 15,500 to 2,500, and now Biden's got his excuse to send in tens of thousands of more.

01:57:01.000 Mm-hmm.

01:57:03.000 Here we go again.

01:57:06.000 To do what, though?

01:57:08.000 Just to save people?

01:57:09.000 What are we doing in South Korea?

01:57:10.000 I don't know.

01:57:11.000 Yeah, what are we doing in Germany?

01:57:12.000 Chillin'.

01:57:13.000 Preventing the spread of communism?

01:57:14.000 Is that really the mission?

01:57:15.000 Germany?

01:57:16.000 I don't know.

01:57:17.000 I guess, man.

01:57:20.000 Alright.

01:57:22.000 Ryan says, in regard to Tim's point about some people may be more comfortable in a sleeping bag under a bridge, freedom, like a shopping cart, no effects, is a real state of mind.

01:57:31.000 Yeah.

01:57:31.000 Have you guys ever been homeless for any short period of time or medium length?

01:57:35.000 I slept in my car for a while.

01:57:36.000 It was incredibly, no rent payments.

01:57:38.000 That was like, wow.

01:57:40.000 But it's illegal.

01:57:42.000 Yeah, if they'd come and knocked on my window, I would've been in trouble.

01:57:45.000 I once slept in a parking lot outside of a skate park, and I woke up surrounded by cops with their guns drawn.

01:57:51.000 Wow.

01:57:51.000 And their lights in the car, and I'm like... I was in a Dodge Neon, and I was wearing, like, normal clothes, and then, like, I immediately put my hands up, and they walk over and they're like, unlock the car!

01:58:00.000 And I unlock the car, and they open it, and they're like, get out!

01:58:01.000 And I get out, and they're like, what are you doing?

01:58:03.000 And I was like, I fell asleep.

01:58:04.000 And they were like, why?

01:58:05.000 And I was like, I was skating, and I was chilling in my car, and I fell asleep.

01:58:09.000 And they were like, OK, well, you can't be here.

01:58:10.000 And I was like, I'll leave.

01:58:11.000 And they're like, OK.

01:58:13.000 And then they all left.

01:58:13.000 OK.

01:58:14.000 I was like, what happened?

01:58:16.000 Like, yo.

01:58:17.000 I'd park on the side of the road, put the driver's side seat down, and then cover myself with a blanket so that they couldn't see human when they looked at it.

01:58:26.000 Yeah, that worked.

01:58:28.000 It's crazy out there.

01:58:29.000 But man, the sense of freedom is palpable.

01:58:32.000 There's nothing like it.

01:58:33.000 You can sleep in your car in Walmart parking lots.

01:58:36.000 Really?

01:58:37.000 It is still illegal, but Walmart allows it.

01:58:41.000 It's called, what is it called, boondocking?

01:58:43.000 They do because they know that when you wake up, you go inside Walmart to buy your stuff.

01:58:46.000 So they're like, we got more than enough parking lot.

01:58:49.000 So people actually will, people in vans and RVs, We'll be like, well, we can't find, you know, a campground or whatever.

01:58:57.000 Let's just pull into a Walmart.

01:58:58.000 Walmart's like, awesome.

01:58:59.000 Especially if you've got like five people and you're a camper.

01:59:02.000 You're coming in for everything.

01:59:03.000 That's great.

01:59:04.000 Toiletries, food.

01:59:05.000 Yeah.

01:59:06.000 But it was, uh, I was told it was the hotel lobby that tried to make, that made it illegal because they want you to pull over and go inside a hotel.

01:59:13.000 Yeah.

01:59:16.000 All right.

01:59:16.000 Let's get the YouTube to force jump our super chats and then confuse us.

01:59:22.000 Eddie says, when immigrants love the country more than its citizens, then you have a problem. 0.99

01:59:26.000 I value the USA because it's given me everything.

01:59:29.000 So I think when the Afghan people rise up, they will truly value freedom, just like the immigrants in the US compared to their homeland. 0.99

01:59:35.000 I hope so.

01:59:36.000 Yeah.

01:59:36.000 Interesting.

01:59:38.000 Bradley says, there is an entire generation of Afghans that grew up under crony capitalism.

01:59:43.000 They are now getting their first taste of Sharia law.

01:59:46.000 If they want a free country, they will have to forge it themselves.

01:59:50.000 I heard that.

01:59:51.000 Definitely.

01:59:55.000 Johnny Knoxville says, I don't think it's the real Johnny Knoxville, Tim, the far left will try and make life so miserable for those not vaccinated that they cave in and get the shot.

02:00:04.000 Exactly.

02:00:04.000 Yeah.

02:00:05.000 Like even, even with the lawsuit in New York city, how long is that going to take?

02:00:12.000 I mean, probably weeks.

02:00:13.000 At least, I was gonna say months.

02:00:15.000 Months.

02:00:15.000 Yeah.

02:00:16.000 So you can't go out to eat.

02:00:17.000 You can't go anywhere.

02:00:19.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 And you can wait months for a lawsuit to go through?

02:00:22.000 So, again, I'm curious to see, you know, whether the vaccine mandates, the vaccine passports, which a lot of people called early on, by the way, and they were called conspiracy theorists.

02:00:34.000 Whether that red pills a lot of people I think at the very least what it'll do is that it will increase the contempt that a lot of people have for their government Because it's some people will say you know what I can't afford to lose my job.

02:00:48.000 I can't make that choice off a principal But while I'm getting this jab or I'm showing my passport or I'm showing my papers, it's going to make me hate the people in charge.

02:00:59.000 Right.

02:00:59.000 And I don't think we've really wrestled with what the long term consequences are for that.

02:01:06.000 You know, best case scenario, it makes people take local politics a lot more seriously.

02:01:12.000 Worst case scenario, it could end up radicalizing certain people and making them go from saying, I'm switching from one party to the next, to saying, I want to be done with all types of government altogether.

02:01:24.000 Yeah, I think a lot of people are starting to feel that way.

02:01:26.000 Yeah.

02:01:27.000 All right.

02:01:28.000 Ill Machiner says, Ian, check out Saffordite.

02:01:31.000 It's similar to obsidian.

02:01:33.000 It goes from looking like charcoal to clear with light.

02:01:35.000 How do you spell Saffordite?

02:01:37.000 S-A-F-F-O-R-D-I-T-E. 1.00

02:01:39.000 Cool, I haven't seen that one.

02:01:40.000 That sounds really cool, actually.

02:01:42.000 I gotta go to Rockstore.

02:01:43.000 Jake Wilmot says, I gotta recommend you have Lucas Botkin from T-Rex Arms on your show.

02:01:48.000 I believe you'd have a great conversation with him.

02:01:49.000 He has shown interest in being on your show before.

02:01:51.000 We will check him out.

02:01:52.000 That sounds cool.

02:01:56.000 Alright.

02:01:57.000 Let's see.

02:02:01.000 Rafi Bossk says you guys should look into biogas.

02:02:04.000 You can make your own gas out of food waste for cooking or even running a generator.

02:02:07.000 Oh, cool.

02:02:08.000 Yeah, yeah, I've heard about that.

02:02:09.000 That sounds pretty cool.

02:02:11.000 I'm definitely a big fan of reuse.

02:02:12.000 We were talking about building a hanging garden on the property.

02:02:16.000 A hanging garden?

02:02:17.000 What does that mean?

02:02:17.000 Like, so we can stagger it and make it a vertical garden.

02:02:20.000 Indoor vertical hanging stuff.

02:02:22.000 Indoor where?

02:02:23.000 I don't know.

02:02:24.000 This is the ideas that get thrown around at the castle.

02:02:27.000 Well, they do have those, like, greenhouse things you can buy.

02:02:29.000 Yeah.

02:02:30.000 Oh yeah, we need to get one of those.

02:02:32.000 We need to get one of those.

02:02:32.000 High tech.

02:02:33.000 And then we can do, because I'm all into this biogas and, like, just total revolutionizing 21st century homesteading.

02:02:40.000 Yeah, man.

02:02:41.000 I am down.

02:02:43.000 Trevor Conley says, Tim, I'm from Flint, Michigan.

02:02:46.000 I've heard you say the water is possibly fixed here.

02:02:48.000 It is not.

02:02:49.000 FB memes compare Jan 6 to Taliban thoughts.

02:02:53.000 I think those are absurd.

02:02:54.000 Yeah.

02:02:55.000 Um, and I've had people super chat being like, they fixed the Flint water already.

02:02:59.000 You know, it's, it's, you stop saying that.

02:03:00.000 I'm like, okay, well, I don't know.

02:03:01.000 I don't live there, but I'll tell you this.

02:03:03.000 It should have been fixed a long time ago.

02:03:06.000 What was the, what caused it?

02:03:07.000 Oh, it's a long story, man.

02:03:09.000 Lead pipes?

02:03:10.000 So, uh, let me take you back on the journey.

02:03:12.000 I'll make the story quick.

02:03:14.000 The population of Detroit is shrinking, but the water infrastructure remains the same size.

02:03:19.000 That means the share of maintenance cost per person is getting higher as more people leave.

02:03:26.000 So if you have 10 people in a house, they each put in $10 to pay their $100 plumbing bill.

02:03:31.000 And then 5 people leave, everyone's share doubled.

02:03:34.000 Now they're paying $20.

02:03:35.000 So that's what basically happened in Michigan as people were fleeing the state.

02:03:40.000 You ended up with some of the highest water costs in the country.

02:03:43.000 So, Flint was basically like, why are we paying all this money for Detroit water when we got this river right here?

02:03:48.000 Switch.

02:03:50.000 And the river was filthy.

02:03:52.000 There's a lot more to it than that, but, you know.

02:03:55.000 Then you ended up people getting, like, lead in their pipes.

02:03:58.000 They had lead pipes, so the corrosive water was stripping the lead out, and then kids were drinking it, and it was affecting their IQs.

02:04:04.000 And then you had Legionnaire's disease because the water was really bad.

02:04:08.000 Yeah, I did a chemical element analysis, and there was some weird element we found a lot of.

02:04:17.000 I took samples from the river, a couple samples, and then we found something.

02:04:21.000 I can't remember which.

02:04:22.000 It's been years.

02:04:23.000 We didn't find lead.

02:04:24.000 Was it selenium by any chance?

02:04:27.000 It might have been.

02:04:28.000 I don't remember.

02:04:30.000 We saw a huge spike in one particular element that we thought was really weird and we didn't expect because it wasn't reported.

02:04:36.000 And so the researchers were like, we don't know if we're confident that this is correct because it's kind of anomalous.

02:04:42.000 We'd have to do it again.

02:04:43.000 And I'm like, I'm not flying back to Flint to test more water.

02:04:46.000 I had to climb down to the river and I was slipping and I was like, trying to get the water.

02:04:50.000 Did they replace all the lead pipes?

02:04:52.000 Is that when they finally said it's out of the system?

02:04:55.000 I don't know.

02:04:56.000 We'll have to, uh, you have to, you know, read up on it.

02:04:59.000 Let's just do, uh, we'll do, uh, one more here.

02:05:02.000 All right, let's see.

02:05:03.000 Pat Monette says, my band used to park at hotels and sleep in the van overnight and then wake up in the morning and eat the complimentary breakfasts.

02:05:09.000 No one ever noticed.

02:05:11.000 When you're a broke band, you got to do what you got to do.

02:05:13.000 True.

02:05:13.000 That's right.

02:05:14.000 A lot of people do that.

02:05:15.000 All right, my friends, uh, smash that like button, subscribe to this channel and, and do it for Ian.

02:05:20.000 Yeah, I need it this time.

02:05:21.000 There is a sad Ian waiting for your like today.

02:05:24.000 It's true.

02:05:25.000 But when you hit that button, if you hit it with love, then I feel it.

02:05:29.000 That's right.

02:05:30.000 Send those waves. 0.78
