Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:00:42.000 you it has been 43 days and president Joe Biden has not given a
00:01:00.000 press conference And I guess there's a video going around where it was posted earlier today.
00:01:05.000 Joe Biden is doing some kind of tele press conference and he says, OK, I'm going to I'm going to take your questions now if that's what I'm supposed to do.
00:01:13.000 And then all of a sudden the camera turns off.
00:01:16.000 And then all of a sudden the screen goes to an image that says, thanks for joining.
00:01:19.000 And that was it.
00:01:21.000 No questions allowed.
00:01:22.000 And as we were talking about this, wondering, is this the, is this really the biggest news?
00:01:26.000 I mean, just Joe Biden calling a lid like he normally does.
00:01:29.000 We noticed something.
00:01:30.000 We got Jack Murphy hanging out.
00:01:32.000 Good to be here.
00:01:32.000 What's up, everybody?
00:01:33.000 It's every other Wednesday night.
00:01:34.000 But he was like, what is the state of the union address?
00:01:37.000 And I was like, well, it's his, it's his, it's his inaugural year.
00:01:40.000 It's his first year.
00:01:41.000 Right.
00:01:41.000 I mean, maybe they don't give one.
00:01:42.000 So we went back all the way to 1977.
00:01:46.000 That's how long that's the, uh, the amount of time where this is unprecedented.
00:01:52.000 So I don't want to say unprecedented, I say almost unprecedented, because in 1977, Jimmy Carter waited until like April 18th to give a speech to the joint session of Congress.
00:02:03.000 We are now on March 3rd, and not only has Joe Biden not given a press conference, not only are they turning off his camera so he can't answer questions, He's not given a State of the Union address, and every president up until 1977, by this time, had already done it.
00:02:19.000 Jimmy Carter was the outlier.
00:02:21.000 Again, not unprecedented, but just really creepy combined with everything.
00:02:25.000 Now, look, Jimmy Carter giving the State of the Union, I think in April, It made sense simply because it was Gerald Ford before him, only like three days before he was inaugurated, where he gave an address like right up until the last minute.
00:02:39.000 So it seemed like Carter was like, eh, I should probably wait a little bit maybe because it's just too many addresses going to the nation.
00:02:45.000 This Joe Biden stuff is pretty creepy.
00:02:48.000 And now we got, there's this claim that on March 4th, militia groups are going to storm DC or something.
00:02:53.000 I tell you this, Joe Biden not giving a State of the Union is certainly adding fuel to the fire of these conspiracies.
00:02:58.000 So we're going to talk about that.
00:02:59.000 We've got some other cultural stories.
00:03:00.000 We've got stuff about...
00:03:02.000 A Netflix producer claiming the CPAC stage was a Nazi symbol, but now we know it was actually made by a Democrat, so that's a weird backfiring.
00:03:10.000 And then we have a crazy story.
00:03:12.000 There's an emergency announcement.
00:03:15.000 Birth rates are declining to such an extent, it is being called an emergency and a crisis.
00:03:21.000 So we'll talk about these things.
00:03:21.000 As I mentioned, Jack Murphy's hanging out.
00:03:23.000 What's up, everybody?
00:03:24.000 Good to be here.
00:03:25.000 Nice to see everybody sitting in a different chair tonight.
00:03:27.000 Every other Wednesday.
00:03:28.000 Glad to be here.
00:03:29.000 Thanks for having me.
00:03:30.000 You look very clean, Jack.
00:03:31.000 Thank you.
00:03:32.000 Appreciate it.
00:03:32.000 I get a trim up every other Wednesday.
00:03:34.000 Nice and smooth.
00:03:35.000 I never knew.
00:03:37.000 What's up, everybody?
00:03:38.000 Ian Crosland in the house.
00:03:39.000 Good to see y'all.
00:03:40.000 IanCrosland.net.
00:03:42.000 Yeah, and then I am Sour Patchlets pushing buttons in the corner as I do.
00:03:46.000 Luke Rutkowski is currently on vacation.
00:03:48.000 He swears he's coming back, but I'm not sure I believe him.
00:03:52.000 Cause that guy's like, he'll just be like, Hey, I'm in, I'm in Cuba.
00:03:55.000 And it's like, what are you doing down there?
00:03:57.000 It's like, I'm actually going to Argentina.
00:03:59.000 It's like, okay.
00:04:00.000 In the RV, no less.
00:04:01.000 In the RV, just like on the water.
00:04:02.000 It's impressive.

00:04:44.000 And it's going to be like Evergreen, not super newsy.
00:04:47.000 But this is going to get crazy.
00:04:49.000 Some of the people we're already talking to about coming out and talking about stuff, people are going to be like, how could you have that person in your house?
00:04:55.000 And I'm like, yeah, that's probably a good point, but it's going to be awesome.
00:04:58.000 So make sure that is all coming and sign up there.
00:05:02.000 But let's do this.
00:05:03.000 The first thing I want to show you is a story from Fox News.
00:05:06.000 Biden still hasn't held a press conference after 43 days in office.
00:05:11.000 The subhead for the Fox News article says, quote, I think his people keep him away from the media because they were afraid he might trail off or have difficulty answering basic questions.
00:05:21.000 Which brings me to this video clip From the first.
00:05:25.000 I'm going to play this for you.
00:05:25.000 Check this out.
00:05:26.000 And I'm happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do, Nance, whatever you
00:05:30.000 want me to do.
00:05:36.000 And just for those listening, the feed just cuts out and then it says thank you for joining.
00:05:40.000 So it wasn't an accident.
00:05:41.000 There's no way.
00:05:42.000 It says President Biden participates in a virtual event with the House Democratic Caucus.
00:05:46.000 It just turns off.
00:05:48.000 That's it.
00:05:49.000 So again, not only has Biden not called a press conference, Like, apparently his handlers aren't allowing him to do it.
00:05:55.000 And I don't mean handle like some grand conspiracy where he's the Manchurian candidate or something.
00:05:59.000 I mean literally like the people working with him are like, come on Biden, it's time to go to bed.
00:06:03.000 They put him in the wheelchair with the blanket on his lap and he goes, and they cart him away.
00:06:07.000 And this is what we saw today.
00:06:09.000 So it was this clip, Jack's like, you see this clip?
00:06:12.000 Check this out.
00:06:13.000 And then I think you asked about the State of the Union, right?
00:06:15.000 Yeah.
00:06:15.000 And then we just started digging, doing some real investigative journalism over here, trying to figure out what's really going on.
00:06:20.000 You know, if I got elected president and I had been vice president and I had been the one sitting in the chair up behind the president all those times listening, Applauding like a seal every time the president said standing up when you're supposed to.
00:06:36.000 If I had my chance to finally be the guy giving the speech with the two people behind me cheering me on and clapping me on and the whole nation watching and joint session of Congress, State of the Union address.
00:06:48.000 I'm the president of the United States.
00:06:52.000 I'd be trying to schedule that thing day after freaking inauguration.
00:06:55.000 Let me pull the dates.
00:06:58.000 So we go back to 2017.
00:06:59.000 The first question we asked was, okay, well, it's his first year in office.
00:07:04.000 Do they give a State of the Union address, like, within a month of being inaugurated?
00:07:09.000 Donald Trump, February 28th, 2017.
00:07:13.000 Okay, that was his first public address.
00:07:15.000 It was Donald Trump's speech to the Joint Session of Congress.
00:07:18.000 All right, well, Trump did it.
00:07:19.000 So then, let's go back to Obama.
00:07:22.000 2009, Obama's speech to Joint Session of Congress, February 24th.
00:07:25.000 Alright, well what about George W. Bush?
00:07:28.000 So we tried searching Wikipedia, sure enough, there's nothing listed.
00:07:31.000 Why?
00:07:32.000 Because Bush didn't call it a State of the Union, but on February 27th, he held an address to the Joint Session of Congress.
00:07:38.000 All right, well let's go back even further.
00:07:41.000 We have Bill Clinton, President's Address to the Joint Session, 1993 State of the Union, February 17th, William J. Clinton Presidential Library.
00:07:50.000 All right, then we've got February 9th, 1989, Bush Senior.
00:07:55.000 We go back to the Reagan Library, February 18th, 1981.
00:07:59.000 And then we stop here.
00:08:00.000 President Carter, 1977, April 20th.
00:08:04.000 But I believe the date is actually listed as April 18th in media.
00:08:08.000 But we have here from the History, Art, and Archives, this is House.gov saying April 20th, 1977.
00:08:14.000 That's how far back you have to go in order to find a time where a president has gone this long without giving a State of the Union or a speech to the Joint Session of Congress.
00:08:25.000 So again, not unprecedented, just it's been a really long time.
00:08:31.000 In my lifetime and I'm old.
00:08:33.000 Yeah.
00:08:33.000 It's been in my lifetime and I'm old and it didn't happen.
00:08:35.000 It hasn't happened.
00:08:36.000 Why not?
00:08:37.000 Wouldn't you be excited to do it?
00:08:38.000 Yeah, it's a different generation.
00:08:39.000 It's a different time.
00:08:40.000 He should be making YouTube videos, if not daily, weekly.
00:08:44.000 Well, yes, that's of course.
00:08:46.000 A social media strategy is something that they all should really be employing, and they're not.
00:08:49.000 And Trump should have been doing that, and he didn't.
00:08:51.000 However, come on.
00:08:51.000 I mean, he kind of did, but I wouldn't call it a strategy, you know what I mean?
00:08:55.000 Well, I wish, and guys in our circle have been calling for this.
00:08:58.000 He should have been doing Periscopes.
00:08:59.000 He should have been doing live streams.
00:09:00.000 He should have been letting people in on the inside and going direct.
00:09:03.000 But anyway, another topic for conversation.
00:09:05.000 Jimmy Carter, uh, Joe Biden, Joe Biden here, Joe Biden.
00:09:09.000 He, I don't think has the stamina to stand up there.
00:09:12.000 Does he?
00:09:13.000 No, that's the, I think that's it.
00:09:15.000 That's why they won't let him answer questions.
00:09:16.000 You know why?
00:09:17.000 When he said in that video, he's like, I'll take some questions.
00:09:21.000 They're going to go, um, president Biden.
00:09:22.000 And then they're going to call out something like Cuomo people dead in nursing homes.
00:09:27.000 And he's going to go, Oh, It's been a while since I've heard his voice, and when you played that, he sounded just haggard.
00:09:38.000 Who's Nancy?
00:09:39.000 He's like, I'll take some questions if that's what you want me to do.
00:09:39.000 He asked.
00:09:42.000 Nancy?
00:09:42.000 It was the House Democratic candidate.
00:09:44.000 Oh, Nancy Pelosi.
00:09:46.000 Yeah, maybe she was the one.
00:09:47.000 She was like, cut him off!
00:09:48.000 Cut him off!
00:09:50.000 Isn't she older than he is?
00:09:51.000 She is, but she does seem to be a little bit more lucid than he is.
00:09:54.000 Yeah, she's pretty.
00:09:54.000 Sprite.
00:09:55.000 It's all the Sprite.
00:09:56.000 It's all the Botox.
00:09:58.000 I don't know if that's keeping her going.
00:09:59.000 I think Biden got an eye lift.
00:10:02.000 Is that what that's called?
00:10:03.000 Probably.
00:10:03.000 A facelift?
00:10:04.000 He got a lot of work done and he's a really old guy.
00:10:06.000 Well, imagine what, you know, you saw what happened to Obama.
00:10:10.000 You saw what happened to Bush and Reagan, how the presidency ages people.
00:10:14.000 It did not age Trump.
00:10:14.000 Yeah, dude.
00:10:15.000 I noticed that.
00:10:16.000 It did not age Trump at all, as a matter of fact.
00:10:19.000 If anything, it de-aged him.
00:10:20.000 But Biden, though, he may just disintegrate.
00:10:23.000 Did you see the, what was it, the Onion article, I think?
00:10:25.000 Where it was like, presidency ages Biden in first term, and it was a picture of like a corpse just totally rotted.
00:10:30.000 Like the Crypt Keeper from that old HBO show.
00:10:33.000 I don't know, maybe a trigger warning.
00:10:36.000 Yeah.
00:10:38.000 Because the image is hilarious.
00:10:40.000 Oh boy.
00:10:41.000 Oh my gosh.
00:10:41.000 Do we?
00:10:44.000 Stress of presidency already ages Biden 10 years.
00:10:46.000 He's like literally mummified.
00:10:47.000 And it's just a mummified Biden.
00:10:49.000 But like a joint session of Congress where the president addresses them and the nation on every network.
00:10:55.000 Everybody stops everything to pay attention.
00:10:57.000 That is a major moment for America, right?
00:11:00.000 And what a time right now we're in.
00:11:04.000 Don't you think with January 6th and we need to heal and all this stuff.
00:11:09.000 Unify.
00:11:10.000 Unify and get past the election.
00:11:12.000 Don't you think that this more than ever.
00:11:15.000 should be a time for the president to address everyone.
00:11:18.000 Everyone. But let's be honest. Do you really think Joe Biden getting up before a joint
00:11:23.000 session of Congress and spouting out true and anonyshabit of pressure is going to unite people?
00:11:28.000 I mean, look, it's funny. I use I use that word because I don't know what else word you use to
00:11:32.000 describe his inability to speak. But that one or Bada Cath care, he's going to get up there and
00:11:37.000 he's going to be like, my fellow my fellow Mexicans, Americans, my fellow, you know,
00:11:46.000 people in the country. But that's the state of the union.
00:11:52.000 They've got the teleprompters.
00:11:54.000 There's no questions.
00:11:55.000 We're in a national crisis.
00:11:57.000 The cut, the city is under siege and occupied.
00:12:01.000 There's barbed wire fences around the Capitol.
00:12:03.000 Now to take the other counter position, perhaps this is, and I hate doing this.
00:12:09.000 Taking the other position.
00:12:11.000 Perhaps, though, this is congruent with the state of emergency in the District of Columbia, the National Guard presence, potential threats of March 4th, people storming the Capitol.
00:12:21.000 Maybe it's just too high of a security risk.
00:12:23.000 But wouldn't they say that?
00:12:25.000 Wouldn't they even just come out and be like, too high of a security risk?
00:12:27.000 We're going to postpone it.
00:12:29.000 Dude, that video creeps me out.
00:12:31.000 The video where Biden's talking and they turn the camera off, I'm like, He's like, I'll do it.
00:12:34.000 I'll take questions.
00:12:35.000 I'll take some questions.
00:12:36.000 Can I please?
00:12:36.000 Can I please?
00:12:38.000 I'm just imagining like he's sitting there and like Xi Jinping is like standing with his arms crossed by the camera.
00:12:44.000 And then when he's like, I'll answer questions, he goes, and they cut it off.
00:12:47.000 And it's like, I'm kidding about Xi Jinping.
00:12:49.000 I'm just saying like when Joe Biden is on camera saying, I'll do the questions.
00:12:54.000 And then someone turns it off.
00:12:56.000 Who just turned the President of these United States off in an address to the Democratic Caucus.
00:13:04.000 Who did that?
00:13:05.000 Who overrode the President himself?
00:13:08.000 That is freaking me out.
00:13:09.000 Can you imagine if that happened with Trump?
00:13:11.000 I'll take some questions and people started to turn it off.
00:13:13.000 The joke was, you know they turned off Andrew Yang's mic in the Democratic debate?
00:13:17.000 Did they?
00:13:18.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:19.000 They did, yeah.
00:13:19.000 You could watch him, he's talking and he's like, I'm here to talk about universal basic And they just hear him like very faintly from the other microphones and his mouth is moving.
00:13:28.000 Trump would grab the other person's mic and go, excuse me, excuse me.
00:13:32.000 You don't turn my microphone off.
00:13:33.000 No, no.
00:13:34.000 Listen, I'm talking.
00:13:35.000 Great.
00:13:36.000 Great.
00:13:36.000 Shut them all down.
00:13:37.000 Great.
00:13:37.000 Biden does not have the fight in him.
00:13:40.000 You turn the cameras off.
00:13:42.000 Could you imagine the president?
00:13:44.000 Dude, I need to stress this to all of you listening at home, my fellow Americans.
00:13:48.000 The President of the United States was speaking to members of Congress and offered to answer questions.
00:13:56.000 And then abruptly, and without any communication from the President, someone disconnected his communications.
00:14:01.000 Who overrode the President?
00:14:04.000 What network was it on?
00:14:05.000 It was WhiteHouse.gov.
00:14:07.000 Whitehouse.gov turned his camera.
00:14:07.000 Wow.
00:14:09.000 I'm going to say right now, in case I'm getting punked, it's a video fake.
00:14:14.000 It was posted by a bunch of verified people.
00:14:16.000 It was posted by the first on TV.
00:14:18.000 It's a, it's like a TV network.
00:14:20.000 So what is this?
00:14:21.000 Are we being, are we being punked right now?
00:14:22.000 And this video is going to go viral with all these leftists being like dummies.
00:14:24.000 He thought it was real.
00:14:25.000 I don't know.
00:14:26.000 It's congruent, which makes it believable.
00:14:29.000 That's the scary thing, right?
00:14:30.000 It's totally congruent.
00:14:31.000 Outside of that whole scenario, the bigger picture is no State of the Union address, no press conferences.
00:14:35.000 Nope.
00:14:36.000 The way he even was like, I guess I'll take questions now if that's what I'm supposed to do.
00:14:36.000 Right.
00:14:36.000 It's sad.
00:14:40.000 He was, like, willing.
00:14:41.000 Like, what old, miserable, loose... He's obviously, clearly not in control.
00:14:47.000 He's not in control of the things he says, the way he spends his time, the way he can communicate to the American people, most likely in his decision making about what politics are doing.
00:14:47.000 No, you're right.
00:14:57.000 So let's tie this together.
00:14:59.000 Remember the Syrian strikes a few days ago?
00:15:02.000 Yep.
00:15:03.000 Kamala Harris was answering phone calls for him.
00:15:06.000 But apparently Kamala Harris did not even know.
00:15:08.000 She was not told yet.
00:15:09.000 She was upset that she wasn't in the loop, right?
00:15:12.000 Who knew?
00:15:14.000 Who made the decision?
00:15:16.000 Who is controlling Joe Biden?
00:15:17.000 You know, Trump changed some of the laws regarding drone strikes and gave control of that to the military.
00:15:23.000 So it could have been people in the military making the decision.
00:15:26.000 Look at this story.
00:15:28.000 Veep, Kamala Harris takes foreign calls on behalf of Joe Biden, February 16th.
00:15:32.000 Jeez.
00:15:34.000 Something creepy, man.
00:15:36.000 And I'll say this.
00:15:37.000 I'll say this in the video where Joe Biden is speaking.
00:15:40.000 I'm willing to bet that's a green screen behind him.
00:15:44.000 That's right.
00:15:45.000 I'm half kidding, actually.
00:15:46.000 I think it is a green screen, but it's not like a nefarious green screen.
00:15:49.000 I think it's just because he's doing a Zoom call or something.
00:15:51.000 Right.
00:15:52.000 But it does kind of look like he's sitting at a green screen.
00:15:54.000 Why did America elect Grandpa, who should be in a nursing home in New York City?
00:16:00.000 Because of hatred.
00:16:01.000 Because of their hatred for Donald Trump.
00:16:05.000 They voted for him out of hatred and now they got an idiot as president.
00:16:07.000 No, he's not an idiot, he's just old.
00:16:09.000 Yeah, he's super old.
00:16:09.000 What if the simulation is just breaking, you know?
00:16:12.000 Like, you ever see the Rick and Morty episode where they turn the simulation computing power down for Jerry to like 5% and then nobody is talking but he believes it?
00:16:21.000 Like, people are saying, yes, and my man!
00:16:24.000 And they're not actually interacting with him, but he just thinks it's all real.
00:16:28.000 Like, we're sitting here and Joe Biden's like, I'll answer your questions.
00:16:30.000 Now the camera turns off and we're like, oh, that's normal.
00:16:33.000 Yes, there are Americans thinking that's normal.
00:16:35.000 That's the weirdest thing to me What are you you people you you you all sitting there listening to this party you people you people you you podcast listeners?
00:16:43.000 Oh, yeah, how many of you are sitting there going like well that was normal now is anybody thinking that oh Only people who are willingly convincing themselves to believe unreality so that they can get rid of Orge Man bad.
00:16:56.000 All this fits with something that I said here back in November, which is that the Democratic people were just beaten into submission.
00:17:04.000 Yeah.
00:17:05.000 And now they're willing to accept total insanity.
00:17:07.000 Oh yeah.
00:17:07.000 In order to just relieve the pressure.
00:17:10.000 Like Jennifer Rubin, right?
00:17:11.000 From the Washington Post.
00:17:13.000 The other day she tweets out, she's like, it's such a great day where I don't have to think about politics on the weekend or whatever.
00:17:19.000 I'm sleeping in late this week.
00:17:20.000 I'm sleeping in late.
00:17:21.000 So even she is like feeling the relief of not being beaten over the head all day by horrible, horrible, terrible things.
00:17:28.000 And it's like, man, what is that?
00:17:30.000 What are you doing to me?
00:17:31.000 You don't know what that is?
00:17:33.000 You wear this thing and it protects you from COVID.
00:17:35.000 It has a vent on it.
00:17:38.000 Can you put it on with the headphones on at the same time?
00:17:39.000 I don't think so, but I'll show you.
00:17:40.000 Did you see the people with the big green plastic boxes over there?
00:17:45.000 That's the new normal.
00:17:46.000 Don't say people, say children.
00:17:49.000 Those are children in school, my friend.
00:17:53.000 I just saw two people in the woods.
00:17:55.000 No!
00:17:55.000 Ian's wearing this big plastic space helmet dome thing that we have.
00:17:59.000 Yeah, that's it.
00:18:00.000 Ian is wearing this weird like you got to turn it on.
00:18:00.000 That's it.
00:18:03.000 Otherwise, it's on now.
00:18:05.000 It's fogging up.
00:18:06.000 It's venting for me.
00:18:07.000 Ian's wearing this big plastic space helmet dome thing that we have.
00:18:11.000 It's going to protect me from COVID.
00:18:12.000 And a living apparently.
00:18:14.000 Yeah, that's it.
00:18:15.000 That's it.
00:18:15.000 The crazy thing is Joe Biden just said apparently at some kind of like, uh,
00:18:21.000 you know, interestingly, they're saying he didn't do a press conference,
00:18:24.000 but he has answered questions because he was asked about by a journalist about
00:18:28.000 about how long we're gonna be locked down.
00:18:29.000 He said, I can't give you an answer, but maybe this time next year.
00:18:31.000 Next year, right.
00:18:32.000 At the same time, Greg Abbott completely opens up Texas, Mississippi, I believe.
00:18:37.000 Florida's already open.
00:18:38.000 Forget it.
00:18:38.000 It's like, man.
00:18:40.000 Well, let's go back to that point you were making about maybe there's a security issue, because we have this story from Bloomberg.
00:18:47.000 Warnings of another Capitol attack raised tensions in Washington.
00:18:53.000 Bloomberg's reporting that law enforcement warnings that a militia group may be plotting to attack the U.S.
00:18:57.000 Capitol on Thursday raised tensions again in Washington and helped prompt the House to cancel plans to meet for votes.
00:19:04.000 That could explain why Joe Biden has not given a State of the Union address, as you mentioned.
00:19:07.000 Quote, We have obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4th, the U.S.
00:19:15.000 Capitol Police said in a statement Wednesday.
00:19:18.000 We are taking the intelligence seriously.
00:19:20.000 That alert followed a joint intelligence bulletin late Tuesday from the Homeland Security Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about extremists discussing carrying out attacks at the Capitol from March 4th to March 6th.
00:19:32.000 Melissa Smyslova, a senior Homeland Security official, told two Senate committees about the threat on Wednesday.
00:19:38.000 The police warning did not give specifics, citing sensitive nature of the information.
00:19:42.000 Now, what's this all about?
00:19:43.000 Why is a militia going to be storming in?
00:19:45.000 Well, Bloomberg says, true inauguration day.
00:19:49.000 Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, told CNN on Wednesday that Trump has a responsibility to defuse the threat by telling his supporters to stand down.
00:19:57.000 Quote, This threat is credible, McCaul said.
00:19:59.000 It's real.
00:20:00.000 The March 4th timing coincides with a date linked to conspiracy theories about it being the true Inauguration Day.
00:20:06.000 Presidents were sworn in on that date until the 20th Amendment to the Constitution shifted the ceremony to January 20th in 1933.
00:20:15.000 The warnings also come after Capitol Police and federal law enforcement came under severe criticism for not acting faster on intelligence that the Jan 6 protests could turn violent.
00:20:25.000 The latest warnings caught many in Washington by surprise, because they came a day after acting Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett told lawmakers that Capitol Police had no indication groups would travel to Washington to protest or commit acts of violence.
00:20:40.000 They're saying there's going to be 5,000 National Guards still there.
00:20:40.000 No, I'll tell you this.
00:20:43.000 They're keeping the fences and the razor wire.
00:20:46.000 I said nothing was going to happen.
00:20:48.000 I was saying it.
00:20:49.000 I said, I think nothing's going to happen.
00:20:50.000 I think if people do show up, it's going to be a bunch of people waving little American flags.
00:20:54.000 They're going to go home like conservatives do.
00:20:55.000 And I published a video on January 6th at 1 p.m.
00:20:57.000 where I was like, nothing's happening.
00:20:59.000 Trump is speaking.
00:20:59.000 It's boring.
00:21:00.000 People are going to go home.
00:21:01.000 The session's happening.
00:21:02.000 It's over, everybody.
00:21:03.000 And then literally when that video went live, it was like, Trump supporters have pushed past the barricade.
00:21:09.000 Then 110.
00:21:10.000 They're attacking the cops.
00:21:11.000 And I was like, Oh wow.
00:21:13.000 I was wrong.
00:21:14.000 I was absolutely wrong about that.
00:21:16.000 Yeah.
00:21:16.000 But you know, the circumstances are completely different.
00:21:18.000 You know, a militia.
00:21:20.000 Well, first of all, what militia?
00:21:22.000 Second of all, where did you hear about this?
00:21:24.000 Cause if it wasn't on parlor, was it on Facebook?
00:21:26.000 Yeah, no, no.
00:21:27.000 If it was on Facebook, why is Facebook still up?
00:21:29.000 Well, because Facebook is special.
00:21:31.000 Yeah, of course there's Facebook.
00:21:32.000 No, they're trying to get Facebook down in some way, too.
00:21:35.000 Like, the left has been going nuts against Facebook.
00:21:37.000 BuzzFeed, I think it was BuzzFeed, wrote an article where they were like, this is where the insurrection was planned.
00:21:41.000 And then it was like, number one is GAN, number two is Parler or whatever.
00:21:45.000 And then number five, it said Facebook.
00:21:47.000 Yup, that's right, Facebook.
00:21:48.000 And they've been attacking Facebook nonstop over it.
00:21:51.000 Facebook was where the groups existed where they were talking about, you know, doing this and Facebook didn't do anything about it.
00:21:55.000 Well, if they have credible information and they're monitoring it, why haven't they been talking about where this is chat?
00:22:00.000 This chatter is happening.
00:22:01.000 How do we shut this down?
00:22:02.000 How do we prohibit this?
00:22:04.000 This is a completely different environment.
00:22:06.000 There's literally thousands of armed troops, razor wire, unscalable fences, an impenetrable perimeter.
00:22:16.000 No one is coming with small arms into the district.
00:22:21.000 To do what?
00:22:22.000 To walk into a building and be like, by standing here, I'm on, it's glue.
00:22:26.000 That makes me, you know, you can't, you can't arrest me.
00:22:28.000 I'm the president now.
00:22:29.000 That's not how a country works.
00:22:31.000 No.
00:22:31.000 And Biden, along that vein, Biden doesn't need to be in the Capitol to do a That's a good point.
00:22:37.000 That's a good point.
00:22:37.000 You're right.
00:22:38.000 He could be, this is the thing, we need a creative person in that position.
00:22:43.000 I think Andrew Yang would have been a great example of that.
00:22:46.000 He was super creative.
00:22:47.000 And you need to be working with the technology we have to explain and help people.
00:22:51.000 I mean it's just so ridiculous.
00:22:52.000 No, no, no, you're right.
00:22:54.000 That negates the devil's advocate point you're making.
00:22:57.000 I hated that.
00:22:57.000 I hated doing it.
00:22:58.000 I hated doing it.
00:22:59.000 Joe Biden could give a speech from space.
00:23:02.000 On the moon, yeah.
00:23:03.000 Well, on Periscope.
00:23:04.000 He wouldn't survive orbit, but you know.
00:23:06.000 The launch.
00:23:07.000 The launch.
00:23:07.000 His body would just be like... He could take his phone and hold it up and be like, Hey, how's it going America?
00:23:13.000 Just like that.
00:23:13.000 You know, peace.
00:23:15.000 You know, my Americans, you know, everything's good.
00:23:18.000 See you then.
00:23:18.000 People would like him so much better if he did.
00:23:20.000 Is this thing on?
00:23:21.000 Is it on?
00:23:22.000 Nancy, is it on?
00:23:22.000 Is it on?
00:23:24.000 And then Jill Biden walks up and smacks him on the butt.
00:23:27.000 Like, like with Elizabeth Warren, remember that?
00:23:29.000 Dude, that was, that was messed up.
00:23:30.000 Do you remember what happened?
00:23:32.000 Elizabeth Warren was doing, was trying to be like AOC and it was the cringiest thing ever.
00:23:36.000 And she's doing an Instagram live thinking it's going to connect with young people.
00:23:39.000 And she, she's like talking to people and she's like, I'm going to go get me a Right I'm gonna take a beer now and then but hold on this
00:23:46.000 is crazy Cuz she's drinking the beer and her husband walks up while
00:23:48.000 she's dreaming and smacked her on the butt And she like jumps and then she said something she said I'm
00:23:53.000 glad you're here I'm happy that you're here, and then Trump tweeted probably
00:23:57.000 the funniest things ever tweeted. He goes. What do you mean?
00:24:00.000 You're glad he's there He's supposed to be there at his house
00:24:02.000 That was just a great tweet Shocker!
00:24:05.000 I loved it, yeah.
00:24:06.000 No, but a lot of people are responding to this Bloomberg thing saying, dude, no, this is ridiculous.
00:24:11.000 It's the Democrats just being like, help, help, the sky is falling, 1-6, it's the end of the world, oh, the militias are coming for us.
00:24:17.000 We've always been at war with the white domestic terrorists in the United States.
00:24:23.000 The military-industrial complex will use any possible evidence to enhance the militant nature of this society.
00:24:31.000 To gain security powers.
00:24:32.000 Yeah, we gotta be careful about this.
00:24:34.000 It's not just the military-industrial complex, it's the revolving door between them and government.
00:24:40.000 It's the government agencies, their contractors, and the weapons manufacturers are all sitting there being like, well, I like blowing stuff up.
00:24:47.000 Don't you like blowing stuff up?
00:24:48.000 I like getting paid to stand there with a gun.
00:24:50.000 Fire on my contractors and they'll guard you for no reason because you're afraid.
00:24:54.000 I think standing there with a gun is more like what the National Guard is doing right now.
00:24:57.000 I don't mean no disrespect to the National Guard.
00:24:59.000 Like the Blackwater types.
00:25:01.000 What is that company called now?
00:25:02.000 They keep changing the name because of the controversies.
00:25:04.000 They're the guys who like, they go in and do the real messed up stuff.
00:25:09.000 You know, and I wonder, man, because I hear this stuff a lot from people who support that kind of action, that military action.
00:25:16.000 They're like, yeah, well, you wouldn't be living half as good as you are right now if these guys weren't going out there and doing this stuff.
00:25:21.000 Blackwater, private contractors killing people in the Mideast.
00:25:24.000 Absolutely.
00:25:25.000 Oh, yeah.
00:25:25.000 There are people who believe, like, if we're not doing that, you know, the petrodollar falls and then we collapse and then we're, you know, that's it.
00:25:33.000 What does America export, man?
00:25:35.000 Culture.
00:25:35.000 War.
00:25:36.000 Culture, maybe.
00:25:37.000 Culture is probably one of our biggest exports.
00:25:40.000 Debt.
00:25:41.000 Debt's our biggest export.
00:25:43.000 Yeah, well, so we had Ethan Suplee on the show, and he mentioned what a lot of people don't realize about this war is that we're propping up the petrodollar.
00:25:51.000 Yeah, we can go into debt with as much money as we want because we're pointing guns at everybody, basically.
00:25:58.000 So, they gotta use our dollars no matter what.
00:26:01.000 It could inflate things for Americans, but the economy can't collapse as long as we got guns pointed at people.
00:26:06.000 So that's... I mean, that's the big picture, I guess.
00:26:08.000 Blackwater's called Academy now.
00:26:10.000 Are you sure it's called Academy now?
00:26:11.000 I thought they changed the name.
00:26:12.000 It was just Academy.
00:26:13.000 With an I. Not Academy now.
00:26:15.000 That'd be funny.
00:26:15.000 Academy now.
00:26:16.000 Before that it was called ZXE.
00:26:18.000 They changed it from Blackwater to Z in 2009 and then to Academy in 2011.
00:26:22.000 Why do they keep changing it?
00:26:23.000 To avoid bad press.
00:26:24.000 Oh, interesting.
00:26:25.000 Monsanto did the same thing.
00:26:25.000 It allowed itself to be bought by Bayer.
00:26:27.000 You remember when Marlboro changed their name to Altria as well?
00:26:30.000 Altria?
00:26:31.000 Sounds like a medicine.
00:26:32.000 Right, exactly.
00:26:33.000 I mean, I don't know who to believe.
00:26:35.000 I don't know where to put my attention.
00:26:37.000 I just want to know who is pulling the strings.
00:26:40.000 Who's the one that's saying to Biden, don't talk?
00:26:43.000 Who's the one saying, maybe you shouldn't do a joint session?
00:26:45.000 Who's the one saying, no State of the Union?
00:26:47.000 One of the coolest things about being president has got to be doing the State of the Union.
00:26:50.000 When you get 500 people standing up cheering for you, national television, 40 million people, it's got to be a highlight.
00:26:56.000 I bet you Bill Clinton, when he first got elected, I bet you he was like, man, I can't wait to get this thing done.
00:27:01.000 He did his first one, what, like 28 days, whatever, after inauguration.
00:27:04.000 Just enough time to get the speech written.
00:27:06.000 To prepare, to practice a whole bunch, to get the logistics down.
00:27:10.000 He was probably like, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.
00:27:11.000 He probably wanted to do it the next day.
00:27:13.000 February 17th.
00:27:14.000 February 17th.
00:27:15.000 Less than a month later.
00:27:15.000 Yeah.
00:27:16.000 Yep.
00:27:17.000 Less than a month later.
00:27:18.000 And Joe Biden now in this time of healing.
00:27:22.000 When are you going to heal me, Joe?
00:27:23.000 Yeah, come on, Joe.
00:27:24.000 Come on, fat.
00:27:25.000 Just heal me.
00:27:26.000 You know what I was thinking?
00:27:28.000 What do you think the British Crown thought of the Founding Fathers?
00:27:32.000 Dangerous far-right extremists?
00:27:35.000 Terrorists?
00:27:35.000 Sovereign citizen terrorists?
00:27:38.000 And under what authority did the Founding Fathers have to actually declare independence?
00:27:43.000 God.
00:27:47.000 Literally, it's like in the first, what, few sentences?
00:27:50.000 Well, no, actually there were a series of elections held in each state.
00:27:54.000 And then some of them were like ad hoc and like unofficial.
00:27:57.000 And then they sent representatives to varying degrees.
00:27:58.000 They were supported by the state.
00:27:59.000 They were down at the pub and they were like, who's going to go to Philadelphia?
00:28:02.000 Some of them were kind of crazy.
00:28:04.000 But then imagine this.
00:28:05.000 Imagine if right now, check it out, check it out.
00:28:07.000 That's awesome.
00:28:08.000 What if there was a very large group?
00:28:10.000 What does the Oath Keepers have?
00:28:12.000 Like 40,000 or something like that?
00:28:13.000 Oh, I don't know.
00:28:14.000 What happens if just a bunch of armed groups in various states said, yeah, we were elected by our communities.
00:28:20.000 We represent them.
00:28:20.000 So we're, we're, we're voting for this.
00:28:23.000 They better have a good document to back it up.
00:28:25.000 That's one of the things the founding fathers had.
00:28:27.000 They were really smart and good.
00:28:28.000 What was it?
00:28:29.000 They had a list of, was it, was it 14 grievances they were upset about?
00:28:32.000 Was it 14?
00:28:33.000 And redresses.
00:28:34.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:35.000 Whatever that means.
00:28:37.000 And they were also really wealthy, a lot of them.
00:28:41.000 It'd be like if Elon Musk came together with Jeff Bezos, with Mark Zuckerberg, with us, you know.
00:28:46.000 So was it our oligarchs at the time?
00:28:49.000 No.
00:28:50.000 They weren't the kings of industry.
00:28:52.000 They were just well-off dudes for the most part.
00:28:52.000 That's true.
00:28:55.000 Right.
00:28:55.000 It's not quite like Zuckerberg and Bezos.
00:28:57.000 But there wasn't industry, per se.
00:28:59.000 Yeah, there was the East India Trading Company.
00:29:01.000 Biggest company to ever exist, I'm pretty sure.
00:29:03.000 Right, but, sure, certainly.
00:29:05.000 But this is pre-Industrial Revolution, this is pre-Robber Barons, this is pre-mass wealth of everyone.
00:29:11.000 These are gentlemen farmers, right?
00:29:13.000 Some lawyers, some army guys, right?
00:29:17.000 Legislators, you know?
00:29:19.000 Yeah.
00:29:19.000 And so it wasn't the same kind of power, I don't think.
00:29:22.000 But I do remember studying the American Revolution recently, actually, and seeing the fusion between what was called the cosmopolitan folks, you know, like the people that live in the city that were all educated, the guys that went and lived in France and came back.
00:29:35.000 They had to make an alliance with the religious Zionists who lived in the countryside.
00:29:43.000 Right.
00:29:43.000 Like there were can people in there still are here in the United States who believe that this is new Zion, that this is this is a place to build.
00:29:50.000 Oh, yeah.
00:29:50.000 Oh, yeah.
00:29:51.000 This is a place to build Zion and have new kingdom of God here in the United States.
00:29:55.000 And they were able to link up these networks.
00:29:58.000 The cosmopolitan guys worried about the natural rights and the freedoms and this and that and the taxation and all that.
00:30:04.000 They joined forces with the religious folks who believe that this was Zion.
00:30:09.000 And that they were here to build a new promised land and they got together because they all wanted their independence.
00:30:14.000 So they had alignment.
00:30:15.000 This was like an early example of a decentralized movement that had alignment, right?
00:30:22.000 Because John Adams and Thomas Jefferson or whatever, they weren't Zionists.
00:30:26.000 But they saw they had common alignment there.
00:30:26.000 Right.
00:30:28.000 So they were like, all right, let's do it.
00:30:30.000 And I've read sermons actually from like 1760 and 1770 from preachers in the countryside telling their people about this revolution that's coming because God wants it, because we're here to build a new Zion, et cetera, et cetera.
00:30:43.000 And it's just interesting to me to, as we're talking about this, to see who were the characters, like, what did they have?
00:30:49.000 What did they hold?
00:30:50.000 What kind of power did they have?
00:30:51.000 And what was their motivation?
00:30:52.000 What is, what would be in the analogy today?
00:30:55.000 I don't know, man.
00:30:57.000 I don't think it's Musk or Bezos.
00:31:00.000 I think about it a lot, invoking God when I'm talking about this and the problems and the solutions.
00:31:05.000 It gets people rallied.
00:31:07.000 And it's kind of scary to use that because I feel like it's not fair.
00:31:10.000 It's kind of like playing the Trump card.
00:31:14.000 It's almost like I don't necessarily believe, I don't know if there's a God necessarily.
00:31:18.000 I just don't know.
00:31:19.000 But to say it, it works.
00:31:20.000 There are people who will absolutely pretend to be acting on behalf of God because they know that people will be scared or people will be faithful and they'll give power to these individuals who exploit them.
00:31:30.000 That's what I see when I see... I'll put it this way.
00:31:33.000 The Republicans, I think, are, you know, Mitch McConnell looks at all these conservatives and goes, well, who else are you gonna vote for?
00:31:41.000 And the Democrats are like, well, I'll say literally anything to you to get you to vote for me because I know as soon as you do you walk away.
00:31:48.000 Now things are a little bit different, though, with social media.
00:31:51.000 Seeing these memes come from the left and the right, making fun of Biden.
00:31:54.000 The greatest meme ever made, in my opinion, right now.
00:31:57.000 You see the one where it's- Big words.
00:31:59.000 It's the red button and the blue button, and it says vaporizing Syrians.
00:32:02.000 The blue one says $2,000 checks.
00:32:05.000 Instead of the guy being sweating and confused, which to press, it's Dr. Robotnik laughing maniacally as he reaches for the red button.
00:32:11.000 And it says Joe Biden over it.
00:32:13.000 It's perfect because not only does the meme work by itself, but it's also a meta meme in that by getting rid of the confused sweating guy and replacing him with an enthusiastic robotnik reaching for the red button so assuredly, it's just masterpiece.
00:32:26.000 Masterpiece meme.
00:32:27.000 But I want to point something out about the Founding Fathers.
00:32:29.000 The one thing they had, the biggest advantage, King was 3,000 miles away.
00:32:33.000 What was he gonna do about it?
00:32:35.000 They were having these meetings, they were kicking their feet up.
00:32:37.000 Now the regulars were going around and acting a fool.
00:32:40.000 But for the most part, when the cat is away, the mice will play.
00:32:44.000 Yeah.
00:32:44.000 That's a saying, right?
00:32:45.000 So the king wasn't coming to the colonies.
00:32:47.000 And then we brought... I brought this up many times.
00:32:49.000 They could write this letter being like, yo, king, we out!
00:32:52.000 And they send it on a ship.
00:32:54.000 Three months later, the king gets it and he's like, haram plaza!
00:32:58.000 I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter back to them!
00:33:00.000 Three months later, it makes it back, and it's been now six months since they declared independence, and they're acting as a sovereign nation at this point.
00:33:08.000 So they're like, bro, that was six months ago.
00:33:09.000 Where you been?
00:33:10.000 Right, right.
00:33:11.000 They had the whole lantern thing all set up.
00:33:11.000 We don't have that right now.
00:33:14.000 What was that?
00:33:15.000 One by land, two by sea?
00:33:17.000 Yep.
00:33:18.000 They were super prepared.
00:33:18.000 They were prepared.
00:33:19.000 They sent that letter off.
00:33:20.000 They're like, let's put some lanterns in place.
00:33:23.000 What were the lanterns for?
00:33:24.000 To signify if the British were coming by land or by sea.
00:33:26.000 I'm probably getting all my history wrong.
00:33:30.000 My girlfriend's at home right now watching this being like, your history's not right.
00:33:34.000 Sorry, babe.
00:33:35.000 They basically had like the beacon set up.
00:33:37.000 They're like, when you see the regulars, light the beacons!
00:33:39.000 And then, you know, they put the little lanterns.
00:33:41.000 And they also, in addition to having the distance and the time buffer, they had the French, which were like this giant monarch nation that was willing to go to war for them, basically, to destroy England.
00:33:52.000 Yeah, well, kind of.
00:33:54.000 They were basically like, we're at war with England, so we're not really helping you so much as you're helping us.
00:33:58.000 Yeah, symbiotic.
00:33:59.000 And man, they would have had no chance without the French.
00:34:02.000 The French basically bankrupted their economy.
00:34:04.000 Yep.
00:34:05.000 Yeah, and then it caused the French Revolution and that guy executed all those other guys.
00:34:10.000 But there were a bunch of nobles in France who were like, I regret that decision.
00:34:14.000 Hey, I don't.
00:34:15.000 I'm glad they did it.
00:34:16.000 But yeah, they destroyed their economy and then everybody started starving and the French Revolution.
00:34:21.000 They had other issues, okay.
00:34:22.000 And then we got Louisiana.
00:34:23.000 Yeah, there you go.
00:34:25.000 Napoleon.
00:34:26.000 He sold it to us, right?
00:34:27.000 So what, like 25 years later?
00:34:30.000 Less.
00:34:31.000 Wow.
00:34:32.000 Not just Louisiana, mind you.
00:34:34.000 Like the whole central third of the country.
00:34:36.000 Yeah.
00:34:37.000 And then I think there was that big swath of Mexico, and then, you know, we had the California Territory, and then Texas declared independence, and then Texas signed a treaty joining the United States.
00:34:48.000 I was reading something about how Texas could have been five different states.
00:34:51.000 It was it was five different nations within the Texas Republic Republic.
00:34:56.000 Really?
00:34:56.000 Yeah.
00:34:57.000 Right.
00:34:57.000 So and then and I think this is recently an anniversary maybe of their independence from Mexico.
00:35:02.000 Yeah.
00:35:02.000 Yesterday.
00:35:03.000 So I saw I looked at the document.
00:35:05.000 Right.
00:35:05.000 They were really good with the documents back then.
00:35:08.000 And they're still good.
00:35:09.000 Well, I guess we're even better with the documents these days.
00:35:12.000 But it made me think.
00:35:15.000 Texans, Texas folks, Mexicans.
00:35:18.000 They're people of color.
00:35:20.000 People from Texas are people of color.
00:35:22.000 They're actually immigrants to the United States.
00:35:24.000 When are we going to start treating Texas with the dignity and respect that we need and demand to give our immigrant folks here?
00:35:32.000 That's a good question.
00:35:33.000 Well, let's talk about Texas, alright?
00:35:34.000 Give them all the opportunities and all the affirmative action and all the benefits and honors of regime designed
00:35:40.000 around Benefiting POC's and immigrants and people new to the
00:35:43.000 country. When are the Texas Republic folks gonna get their dues?
00:35:47.000 Well, let's let's let's talk about Texas All right for most of you you may have heard Texas Greg Abbott
00:35:51.000 comes right out and he's like yo, we done Yo.
00:35:54.000 No more COVID lockdown.
00:35:56.000 What's that look on your face?
00:35:57.000 It's like, hell yeah, man.
00:35:58.000 I'm into it.
00:35:59.000 Let's do it.
00:35:59.000 Good.
00:36:00.000 I'm ready to go.
00:36:00.000 And what did Joe Biden say?
00:36:02.000 Called him the Neanderthals.
00:36:03.000 Joe Biden.
00:36:05.000 Neanderthal thinking.
00:36:06.000 Biden calls Abbott's decision to open Texas, lift mask order, big mistake.
00:36:12.000 You know why Joe Biden won't do anything about it?
00:36:15.000 The risk of secession is real.
00:36:18.000 It's real.
00:36:19.000 It is.
00:36:19.000 It's not my opinion.
00:36:21.000 That is the opinion of Casey Michael, writing for NBC, pro-Trump Republican secession rhetoric in Texas and elsewhere is more than a punchline.
00:36:28.000 This kind of seditious rhetoric would spell disaster for the supposedly United States of America.
00:36:33.000 In this article.
00:36:34.000 Yes.
00:36:35.000 Dude goes in.
00:36:35.000 I mean, look, I think it's I think.
00:36:38.000 Go.
00:36:39.000 I actually actually agree with them when they say that the risk of secession is legit.
00:36:43.000 Now, they mention that there have been many instances where Republicans are like, we will secede from the Union if, you know, Obama gets elected.
00:36:50.000 This time's different.
00:36:51.000 And so we talked about there's five counties in Oregon.
00:36:55.000 Have you heard this?
00:36:56.000 What, the whole Greater Idaho thing?
00:36:57.000 Yes.
00:36:57.000 Greater Idaho.
00:36:58.000 And then you got like nine or whatever counties in Northern California to make the state of Jefferson.
00:37:03.000 Some of those might actually join Greater Idaho.
00:37:05.000 Then you got Weld County.
00:37:07.000 And what's the other one?
00:37:08.000 I think that's it.
00:37:09.000 These are counties that are like... And there's a handful of counties in Virginia that have been welcomed into the state of West Virginia as well.
00:37:14.000 That's right.
00:37:15.000 Yep.
00:37:15.000 Really?
00:37:16.000 But you can't do that.
00:37:17.000 Why not?
00:37:18.000 Well, there needs to be federal approval.
00:37:20.000 Why?
00:37:21.000 Well, at least according to the documents, the laws, you can't redraw state borders without federal approval.
00:37:29.000 You know, that's a really good point, Jack, and you are correct.
00:37:31.000 You need the approval of your sovereign leader and your legal system before you're allowed to declare independence.
00:37:38.000 Just like in 1776 when the Founding Fathers... I have a feeling you're mocking me.
00:37:42.000 They sent a petition to Parliament, and Parliament said, Good sir, the Americans have requested independence.
00:37:50.000 We agree!
00:37:51.000 Sent it back to them.
00:37:51.000 Stamp.
00:37:52.000 But look, like anybody that's ever gone through a legal process knows, first you have to start off with a nice letter, then you have to come with a nasty letter, then you have to come with a demand letter, then you have to demand mediation, arbitration, then finally you're like, En garde!
00:38:06.000 Yes.
00:38:07.000 The Founding Fathers didn't immediately just say, yo, we out!
00:38:07.000 That's true, though.
00:38:10.000 They were like, sir, we have a list of grievances.
00:38:14.000 And then they kept kicking back for like 20 years.
00:38:18.000 They were like, yo, dude, this is a problem for us.
00:38:20.000 And the king was like, I don't care.
00:38:23.000 So now what we're seeing is, I was looking at these counties that want us to see it.
00:38:26.000 Joe Biden calls Texas Neanderthals.
00:38:29.000 That's very racist, by the way.
00:38:30.000 Subhuman.
00:38:31.000 Neanderthals were people.
00:38:33.000 And that is an extremely racist thing to say.
00:38:35.000 That's a good point.
00:38:35.000 That's true.
00:38:35.000 Specious.
00:38:36.000 It's terrible.
00:38:37.000 That's really, really bigoted of him to say that.
00:38:39.000 Joe Biden won't do anything because the risk is real.
00:38:42.000 So, you know, he said, You go, you know, Joe Biden said we're gonna be locked down.
00:38:48.000 No normal until this time next year, right?
00:38:51.000 Texas said, doors open.
00:38:54.000 Do something about it.
00:38:55.000 Basically the same day.
00:38:56.000 Yeah, right.
00:38:57.000 And you know why nothing will happen?
00:38:59.000 Texas is going to be fine.
00:39:00.000 They can do whatever they want.
00:39:01.000 What do you think would happen if Joe Biden said, I hereby order a mandate that Texas lock back down?
00:39:07.000 What would happen?
00:39:08.000 What do you think would happen?
00:39:09.000 That would be the final straw.
00:39:10.000 Would the federal government send in DHS or National Guard to enforce this lockdown?
00:39:16.000 No, they wouldn't.
00:39:17.000 You know why?
00:39:19.000 They don't have enough people.
00:39:21.000 They don't.
00:39:22.000 If the people in Texas are told by the governor, you open your business, they will.
00:39:28.000 If Joe Biden tries sending people into Texas to shut their businesses down, the police in Texas will stop them.
00:39:34.000 We've already seen, what was it like in Ohio, where they said, like, we'll arrest ATF members for violating our gun laws.
00:39:41.000 If you try and confiscate a weapon from somebody in violation of our law, we'll arrest you.
00:39:45.000 When if the federal government tries to overexert its authority, I mean, it may have the authority.
00:39:50.000 I welcome that, actually.
00:39:52.000 I welcome that.
00:39:53.000 Yeah.
00:39:54.000 Well, as as as a as a necessary mistake on the path to continue decentralization.
00:40:02.000 Like we have a serious centralization problem in biology, in our economy, in science, in technology, in finance, with currencies.
00:40:16.000 We have a centralization problem, right?
00:40:18.000 Because when it's all in the middle, it's huge risks.
00:40:21.000 You saw the Federal Reserve go down.
00:40:23.000 Oh yeah, that was crazy.
00:40:25.000 Decentralization of authority is actually on trend with everything else that's happening right now.
00:40:31.000 Strategic disconnection has been my theme for the last couple of years.
00:40:35.000 I would welcome this type of egregious behavior on the part of the federal government as part of a necessary step to increase this decentralization effort.
00:40:44.000 This is why Trump probably didn't do anything when it came to Black Lives Matter as well.
00:40:48.000 It wasn't so much that people will say you're a tyrant.
00:40:52.000 It was that you had riots all over the country, nowhere near enough federal law enforcement to actually stop it.
00:40:58.000 Now, that's not entirely correct.
00:41:01.000 It's correct that it would have taken a substantial amount of federal force to stop them, and it may have backfired, and then the resulting backlash could have overwhelmed National Guard or federal police.
00:41:11.000 But it was also consistent with Trump's response to COVID as well.
00:41:16.000 Yeah, leave it up to the states.
00:41:17.000 Leave it up to the states.
00:41:18.000 But so, in this regard, you have a very bold move by Mississippi and by Texas, but Texas is legit like, we're opening back up.
00:41:25.000 Well, Florida's already been open, so let's be real.
00:41:27.000 Joe Biden's not going to do anything because Joe Biden doesn't really care.
00:41:30.000 When Joe Biden comes out, this is the crazy thing.
00:41:32.000 He's only the leader of the blue states.
00:41:34.000 This is the point that people need to realize that is the scariest point of all.
00:41:38.000 Florida already is open.
00:41:39.000 Many states never locked down.
00:41:41.000 Texas is reopening, defying Joe Biden.
00:41:44.000 Joe Biden has no confidence in red states.
00:41:46.000 The red states have no confidence in Joe Biden.
00:41:49.000 But the blue states are like, whenever you say Biden, it's true.
00:41:52.000 So Biden comes out as the president of the United States, says, we got to stay locked down, don't be stupid.
00:41:57.000 And the red states are like, No.
00:41:59.000 Make me.
00:42:00.000 Yeah.
00:42:01.000 Yeah.
00:42:01.000 So think about who is he actually in charge of.
00:42:04.000 Not the red states.
00:42:05.000 They don't seem to care.
00:42:06.000 Ron DeSantis is ragging on the guy.
00:42:08.000 He's doing whatever he wants.
00:42:09.000 And then what did Biden say?
00:42:10.000 Craziest story we've seen in a long time.
00:42:12.000 Biden threatened travel restrictions into Florida because of what Ron DeSantis was doing.
00:42:17.000 And Ron DeSantis was like, bring it.
00:42:19.000 So this is not the President of the United States, it's the President of the Blue States.
00:42:22.000 He is.
00:42:23.000 And I know legally and all that stuff, he was inaugurated.
00:42:26.000 The problem I'm talking about is the division between the tribes in this country...
00:42:31.000 South Dakota, we're not locking down Florida.
00:42:33.000 We're not locking down Texas, Mississippi.
00:42:35.000 Now I think Louisiana is easing restrictions.
00:42:37.000 They're basically looking at Biden and saying, no.
00:42:40.000 Imagine, maybe this is why they haven't done the State of the Union.
00:42:43.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to tell you that the State of the Union is weak, pathetic, disgusting.
00:42:48.000 There's actually no union.
00:42:50.000 And I'm here and I'm just leading however many, it was like whatever handfuls, you know, the states, the electoral states that he got elected.
00:42:56.000 That's it.
00:42:57.000 I'm not, I'm not the president for everybody else.
00:42:59.000 I mean, that would have to be.
00:43:02.000 That's like the reality.
00:43:04.000 In the article before about the militia attack, there's the, you know, FBI Director Chris Wray says domestic extremists pose the greatest threat to the U.S.
00:43:12.000 or whatever, right?
00:43:13.000 He's not wrong from his perspective.
00:43:15.000 He's the establishment perspective.
00:43:17.000 He views the intelligence agencies, the security state, and the corporate politicians as the legitimate United States government.
00:43:25.000 And Donald Trump is not that.
00:43:27.000 He was a usurper.
00:43:28.000 He was an invader.
00:43:30.000 He was an outsider.
00:43:31.000 So they were like, this guy is taking over our legitimate system.
00:43:34.000 He's a threat.
00:43:36.000 Now think about these people.
00:43:37.000 These people who are supposedly threatening the U.S., they're not foreigners.
00:43:41.000 They're not swearing allegiance to anything other than the Constitution.
00:43:48.000 These are American citizens at odds with the existing establishment.
00:43:52.000 You got yourselves a problem.
00:43:53.000 The existing establishment is an occupying force that does not believe in the Constitution of the United States.
00:44:00.000 And the people here in the United States that do believe in the Constitution and do believe in the vision of the founders When I say instructionists, I mean that in the context of there is a dominant occupying force that has captured all of our institutions, captured all the universities, the government, everything.
00:44:21.000 And they do not adhere to or believe in the Constitution of the United States or in freedom of liberty or in individual accountability or any of the things that we were founded on.
00:44:30.000 Therefore, they are an occupying foreign force and people that believe in the Constitution are actually insurgents because we do want to expel, well, this occupying force.
00:44:41.000 This is the white pill moment.
00:44:43.000 You know, that means like the optimism.
00:44:45.000 It's the it's the good news.
00:44:46.000 It's the it's it's the.
00:44:48.000 Hope.
00:44:49.000 Bring it, bring it.
00:44:50.000 No blackmailing here.
00:44:51.000 The hope is in front of us.
00:44:53.000 Joe Biden has lost control.
00:44:55.000 He can't even answer questions without someone turning his camera off.
00:44:58.000 The establishment is in free fall.
00:45:00.000 The Democrats and Republicans, the establishment politicians, are flailing wildly in panic.
00:45:08.000 Turning the president's camera off?
00:45:10.000 Wow, they are scared.
00:45:12.000 Abandoning tradition of addressing the Congress and addressing the people after you've been elected president.
00:45:18.000 And what do you think, and then when he cries to come out saying, we gotta stay locked down, and all the states are just breaking away and saying, no.
00:45:24.000 F you, dude.
00:45:24.000 F you, dude.
00:45:25.000 And what do you think happens if Joe Biden goes, my fellow Americans, we must ban firearms.
00:45:33.000 What do you think Texas is gonna say?
00:45:34.000 They're gonna start Yosemite Samming.
00:45:38.000 Very irresponsible, by the way.
00:45:39.000 Once the economy crashes... Yosemite Sam?
00:45:42.000 He was a white, red-bearded cowboy.
00:45:44.000 I'm just kidding, but why did Yosemite Sam have a little accent?
00:45:46.000 He kind of had a beard like you, Jack.
00:45:48.000 What do you mean?
00:45:48.000 He had a white, southern accent.
00:45:51.000 No, you just now!
00:45:52.000 Cancel Yosemite?
00:45:56.000 I say when the economy crashes, because if you study history, you see it's a cyclical crash and rebuild and crash.
00:46:02.000 Wait, wait, wait.
00:46:03.000 Didn't it just crash this year, Bob?
00:46:05.000 Yeah, it's crashing.
00:46:06.000 We're in a crash right now, basically, if you look at the numbers.
00:46:08.000 You don't need to look at the numbers.
00:46:10.000 Just look at the people who don't have jobs.
00:46:12.000 And the crashes can take years sometimes.
00:46:13.000 You know what's funny?
00:46:15.000 Every decade, there's a crash.
00:46:17.000 Something happens.
00:46:18.000 We had the mortgage-backed security crisis, and all of a sudden, it was like, oh, the market's on fire!
00:46:22.000 Trump's economy was so good, the only thing that caused the crash was when governments were like, turn the economy off.
00:46:27.000 That's exactly right.
00:46:28.000 And they turned the key and just stopped it.
00:46:30.000 That's exactly right.
00:46:30.000 That's the only way they could stop it.
00:46:32.000 That's the only way they could stop it.
00:46:33.000 Best economy ever.
00:46:34.000 With also the greatest quarter of growth in American history.
00:46:39.000 Yeah, it's like 30-some percent.
00:46:41.000 I can't tell you how many times I talked to somebody.
00:46:43.000 I had a contractor working.
00:46:44.000 It was back at the other studio.
00:46:46.000 And he was like, 2019 was the greatest year of my life.
00:46:49.000 I've never made that much money before.
00:46:51.000 Yeah.
00:46:51.000 And I was at it.
00:46:52.000 I told this story before.
00:46:53.000 I was buying furniture for the studio setup.
00:46:55.000 So this is beginning of 2020.
00:46:58.000 The lady who was selling furniture, I was like, we gotta do a big order.
00:47:01.000 We need tables, we need chairs, we need desks, we need everything.
00:47:04.000 We're building out this whole thing.
00:47:05.000 It was a very expensive order, and she was laughing.
00:47:08.000 And then I was like, good day for you, huh?
00:47:10.000 And she goes, it's been a good year.
00:47:12.000 And I was like, yeah, how was last year?
00:47:13.000 Last year was good for you?
00:47:14.000 And she goes, I've never made more money in my life.
00:47:16.000 She said, last year was my biggest year ever, selling furniture, and she was just laughing, having a good time.
00:47:21.000 That was the Trump economy.
00:47:22.000 But I could print 10 times the money and pay you 10 times the value, but then everything's gonna be... That was before, dude.
00:47:28.000 Well, since 2008, it's been... M1 has been going... No, but what's happened in 2020... It's unprecedented.
00:47:34.000 Okay, so it was going like this, it was going like this, and then truly, dude, the whole scale from this part shrinks now because it just goes like this.
00:47:41.000 So my point is when this seems like we're headed towards a crash, that's like the last semblance of unity in the United States.
00:47:47.000 Obviously, we have our lockdown issues and states by states, state rights.
00:47:50.000 But when that's gone, this money thing, the Bitcoin, the crypto people are going to come up and basically take control of the country.
00:47:55.000 We need a document.
00:47:57.000 We have the Constitution.
00:47:58.000 Digital Bill of Rights.
00:48:00.000 And we need something like that.
00:48:01.000 The Manila Principles.
00:48:02.000 So we need a we need a digital constitutional convention.
00:48:08.000 And I mean this in no way challenging any of the authority of the US, just basically getting people from various industries and various regions to write down what they think matters most to the people where they live and who they represent so that we can draft.
00:48:23.000 We should start with like 30 principles of what the internet is supposed to grant to people as an economy, as a communication hub, as entertainment.
00:48:33.000 Then we go through them, we whittle down the language, and then find a good 10 or 15.
00:48:37.000 The Manila Principles.
00:48:37.000 I think it's been done.
00:48:38.000 Have you heard of them?
00:48:39.000 You should pull them up.
00:48:40.000 There's like six of them.
00:48:41.000 It's basically an Internet Bill of Rights.
00:48:42.000 It's real.
00:48:42.000 It's been done.
00:48:43.000 I would love for you to pull it up and read it right now.
00:48:44.000 Well, so, I want to make this point, though.
00:48:47.000 When you mention that the Bitcoin people are going to be the ones who take over, it's going to be like the fall of the Soviet Union.
00:48:52.000 The oligarchs.
00:48:55.000 That's right.
00:48:55.000 That's right.
00:48:55.000 So, I was talking to a friend of mine, because everybody knows now I have a friend in Ukraine because I mention her all the time, and I was like, Well, it was really interesting.
00:49:03.000 I went there and I was, you know, you live, you were born in the Soviet Union.
00:49:07.000 You were a little kid when the Soviet Union collapsed.
00:49:09.000 How did these oligarchs come to power in these past couple of decades when everybody was under the boot of Russia?
00:49:14.000 She was like, they're gangsters.
00:49:17.000 They were criminal gangsters.
00:49:18.000 And then look, look at this way.
00:49:19.000 You have a power plant, right?
00:49:21.000 Power plant waits for the word from their higher militaristic communist authority.
00:49:26.000 When the Soviet Union collapsed, that communication got snapped.
00:49:29.000 Just the line was cut.
00:49:31.000 Now the guy running this power plant's like, I don't know.
00:49:34.000 All of a sudden, the dude walks in.
00:49:35.000 He's got three dudes around him with guns, and he goes, we're gonna tell you what to do.
00:49:40.000 It's our factory now.
00:49:41.000 You answer to me.
00:49:42.000 And the foreman of the factory goes, sounds good to me, because I don't know what's going on.
00:49:46.000 These guys went around from building to building with guns, and just kept saying, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine.
00:49:51.000 And then all of a sudden, boom, they were billionaires overnight.
00:49:54.000 The kleptocracy, as it's called.
00:49:56.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:57.000 So what will happen when the dollar gets smacked down?
00:50:01.000 Why do you think China has been buying so much Bitcoin or printing and mining?
00:50:04.000 I should say mining Bitcoin because.
00:50:08.000 Was that was that face?
00:50:09.000 Well, didn't I see an article recently about China shutting down all kinds of mining operations?
00:50:14.000 Yeah, but it's a very clever thing because of the price tanks.
00:50:16.000 And then they buy it all up and then they say, oh, no, no, we're just kidding.
00:50:19.000 Yeah, they've done it several times.
00:50:21.000 And I think India did it.
00:50:21.000 It's very clever.
00:50:22.000 They're like, we're going to ban this.
00:50:24.000 And then everyone panic sells.
00:50:25.000 And then guess who buys it up?
00:50:27.000 There are a lot of people right now who have already become worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:50:33.000 There's one really funny tweet I saw.
00:50:34.000 Some guy said, looking at my account with 15 Bitcoin in it on the computer that I lost or whatever, and it's just like, because you can actually see the number, you can see the address in the blockchain, and he's like, that's mine, but I can't get it.
00:50:48.000 There are a lot of people who have Bitcoin.
00:50:51.000 They maybe even bought in with a couple hundred bucks.
00:50:53.000 And now it's at like 50 grand.
00:50:56.000 50 grand.
00:50:57.000 It is in your faces, man.
00:50:58.000 We are watching the value of the dollar evaporate.
00:51:02.000 One of the craziest stories I saw.
00:51:04.000 Did you know that fast food prices have been skyrocketing?
00:51:07.000 Nobody noticed this.
00:51:08.000 People don't pay attention because we're frogs boiling in a pot.
00:51:12.000 I was reading a story about how the cost of fast food meals in the past year have gone up like 40 or 50 percent.
00:51:17.000 Wow.
00:51:18.000 Yeah.
00:51:19.000 Restaurants have also skyrocketed.
00:51:21.000 And there's a graph showing the cost of food going up.
00:51:25.000 It's getting, it's happening.
00:51:26.000 I remember 49 cent crunchy tacos at Taco Bell.
00:51:28.000 Oh man, back in the day.
00:51:29.000 When they'd go on 39 cent.
00:51:30.000 Come on bro, I remember five McDonald's cheeseburgers for two bucks.
00:51:33.000 Yeah.
00:51:34.000 Because I'm old.
00:51:35.000 I already established this.
00:51:37.000 I'm old.
00:51:37.000 Is that some 80s?
00:51:38.000 Remember the dollar menu, dude?
00:51:40.000 I remember doing that long ago.
00:51:41.000 So what are they now?
00:51:42.000 Happy meals and stuff?
00:51:42.000 They're like $11 meals?
00:51:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:45.000 So, so like a... What's like... Yeah, they are, bro.
00:51:48.000 Like a Big Mac's $5.29 or something.
00:51:50.000 I'm going to stop in on the way home.
00:51:51.000 I'm going to price check.
00:51:53.000 Yeah, do it.
00:51:53.000 A Big Mac was $2.29.
00:51:54.000 Go to New York City.
00:51:55.000 You know how much a number one's going to cost in New York?
00:51:57.000 Probably like $15, $20.
00:51:58.000 New York City.
00:51:59.000 No.
00:51:59.000 And that was before a $15 minimum wage.
00:52:03.000 Yep, there you go.
00:52:05.000 So listen, listen.
00:52:06.000 Ian makes a good point.
00:52:07.000 The people who are holding Bitcoin are going to wake up one day and be the new oligarchs.
00:52:10.000 Definitely.
00:52:11.000 But we have a constitution, so it'll be different than Russia as long as we adhere to it.
00:52:14.000 And the Manila Principles, which is like a digital... I think we can integrate it into our U.S.
00:52:18.000 Constitution.
00:52:19.000 I could read some of that.
00:52:21.000 Yeah, there's six of them.
00:52:22.000 in a bit, maybe, maybe I've got, I want to, I want to talk about something else because
00:52:25.000 I think this matters.
00:52:27.000 Biden slashes stimulus checks for Americans making more than $80,000.
00:52:32.000 President bows to pressure from moderate Democrats and will hand out fewer direct payments than
00:52:36.000 under Trump, fewer than under Trump, which moderate Democrats are this, but we just kind
00:52:42.000 of just kind of talk about how brutal it must be to have voted for Joe Biden thinking the
00:52:46.000 Democrats were to get you this check.
00:52:48.000 And now you're being told by the news, actually, Trump was trying to get you more.
00:52:52.000 That is gotta be like a kick in the balls.
00:52:55.000 You know those tweets where people are like, you know, you sure are like, you know, spending a lot of money when you owe me money, right?
00:53:02.000 Yeah.
00:53:03.000 It's like, you sure are, you know, vaporizing Syrians when you owe me a lot of money, man.
00:53:03.000 It's like these tweets.
00:53:07.000 Bombing a lot of Syrians.
00:53:08.000 Biden's, uh, sure got a lot of money for somebody who owes me $2,000.
00:53:12.000 Exactly.
00:53:13.000 Sure got a lot of money for missiles.
00:53:15.000 It's like, how insane is it?
00:53:17.000 We're the only country in the world where they force everybody out of their jobs and stay home and then don't give them any money to make up for it.
00:53:23.000 Look at I pulled the meme up. I pulled this meme up. I didn't make it. I just saw people
00:53:29.000 sharing it and I reposted it. I don't know who made it. It's yours now. It is the hand pushing
00:53:34.000 one of the two buttons, vaporizing Syrians is red and $2,000 checks is blue. And then it's Dr.
00:53:38.000 Robotnik, Jim Carrey going and pressing the red button. Joe Biden, all the Democrats said,
00:53:44.000 vote for the Democrats. $2,000 check.
00:53:47.000 Donald Trump said, $2,000 check.
00:53:49.000 Mitch McConnell was like, well, slow down there, Trump.
00:53:53.000 So the Republicans said, no.
00:53:55.000 The Democrats said, yes.
00:53:56.000 And everyone said, I'll vote for the Democrats.
00:53:58.000 And then the Democrats, it's wonderful.
00:54:00.000 It's like, they all voted to give the one ring to Joe Biden and they followed him into the fires of Mount Doom.
00:54:08.000 And then they're like, cast the $2,000 checks into the mailbox.
00:54:12.000 And then Biden turns on and goes, no, and then walks out with the money and then hands him to a military industrial complex guy and then presses a button and fires missiles and goes, kills kids or whatever.
00:54:23.000 I think what you said earlier about us being co-opted, our government being basically occupied is it's extremely astute.
00:54:29.000 Like after Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act and basically sold us out to this power.
00:54:34.000 And then after World War Two, when they made the liberal economic order and established these military bases all over the world.
00:54:42.000 It's like a parasite in the brain of our country.
00:54:44.000 Slow down there, Ron Paul.
00:54:44.000 It's crazy.
00:54:46.000 I love Ron Paul.
00:54:47.000 Ron, this is for you.
00:54:48.000 That's right.
00:54:49.000 So for Christmas, Luke put Ron Paul on top of the tree because he's both a star and an angel.
00:54:56.000 And now the picture is just like on the window.
00:54:58.000 Ron Paul's an amazing guy.
00:54:59.000 And I always tell people that the reason... Have you seen that video that's going viral from 1988?
00:55:04.000 Yes, of course.
00:55:06.000 Where him on Mori?
00:55:08.000 I don't know what it is.
00:55:08.000 No, no, no.
00:55:10.000 It was just one of those shock jock hosts from that time period.
00:55:13.000 It was so good.
00:55:14.000 Ron Paul is a legend.
00:55:16.000 A living legend.
00:55:16.000 He was amazing.
00:55:17.000 And then he's like, yeah, and by the way, you fatty, you should lose some weight too.
00:55:20.000 No, no, he was like, the government can't make you a good person.
00:55:23.000 Why don't they put you on a diet?
00:55:25.000 You're a little overweight.
00:55:26.000 And the guy's like, oh, how dare you?
00:55:28.000 It's a good point.
00:55:28.000 He's like, I'm a doctor.
00:55:29.000 Yeah, he's a doctor.
00:55:31.000 And he was probably right.
00:55:32.000 The government can't make you be a good person.
00:55:34.000 So, I'm thinking about this parasite in the brain of our country, and how do you remove a parasite without it killing the host?
00:55:39.000 Because this parasite will- You drink its blue goo.
00:55:41.000 Right.
00:55:41.000 Like, it's blue.
00:55:42.000 You can't yank it out, because it will kill the host.
00:55:45.000 You can try and kill it, but if it knows you're trying to kill it, it will kill the host.
00:55:48.000 Likely.
00:55:48.000 Not necessarily.
00:55:49.000 So you need to subvert it.
00:55:50.000 You need to massage the affected area until it starts wiggling its way out, and then you get the forceps, and you slowly pull.
00:55:57.000 It's like a botfly.
00:55:57.000 Very, very slowly.
00:55:58.000 Otherwise it could rip, and then retreat back in.
00:56:01.000 So you make the host less enticing to the parasite.
00:56:04.000 So we have to poison pill ourselves.
00:56:06.000 Or, well... No, there's no real analogy for that.
00:56:09.000 I think, you know... Create a system that's not conducive to the parasite.
00:56:14.000 I don't think that's a good analogy because it's one planet.
00:56:17.000 It would be like if there was one host and literally no other hosts.
00:56:21.000 I think the U.S.
00:56:22.000 is the host, the U.S.
00:56:23.000 government.
00:56:24.000 I think the whole planet is basically got a bunch of powerful interests that collude with each other for a variety of reasons.
00:56:29.000 You're right, the British government too.
00:56:31.000 Yeah, it's not like, it's funny how people are like, you're a conspiracy theorist.
00:56:33.000 It's not a conspiracy to think there's international businesses that do deals with each other, it happens every single day.
00:56:38.000 Right, and so, you've got Trump being like, he comes out by the White House with a helicopter or whatever, and the press asks him like, what's going on?
00:56:45.000 He goes, we're gonna be selling a ton of weapons to Saudi Arabia, it's great, we're gonna make tons of money, it's great for the economy, and it's like, it's right there in your face, he's saying it.
00:56:52.000 I love that, by the way.
00:56:53.000 It was one of the greatest moments of Trump's presidency.
00:56:55.000 Watching all the anti-war laugh just go like, he just said it!
00:57:00.000 He just said it!
00:57:01.000 That was why people hated him.
00:57:03.000 My favorite tweet ever was this journalist who was like, I have been working on this story for a year.
00:57:09.000 All year.
00:57:10.000 And he just says it.
00:57:12.000 He just tweeted it out.
00:57:12.000 He just says it.
00:57:15.000 He just tweeted it out.
00:57:16.000 That was huge.
00:57:17.000 That was right around the same time as let's do a little game theory.
00:57:17.000 That was huge.
00:57:21.000 Oh, man.
00:57:22.000 So I do think, think about this.
00:57:26.000 When we got off the gold standard, it's really amazing.
00:57:30.000 Once the banking institutions... I think it's silly to say the banks are in charge or the Fed.
00:57:35.000 There's clearly just people in power and wealthy interests who just use these machines in these systems to maintain control.
00:57:42.000 Yeah, the Bank for International Settlements.
00:57:44.000 It's like the mother brand.
00:57:46.000 The B.I.
00:57:47.000 The Liberal Economic Order, you called it?
00:57:49.000 Yeah, they've established it in like 1946, I think, right after World War II to make sure that there was no World War III.
00:57:54.000 And they were like, we're going to use the British and the American governments to establish military dominance on the planet.
00:58:00.000 Isn't that a good, isn't it a good thing to have World War III?
00:58:02.000 According to Kissinger, yes.
00:58:04.000 And so we're just going to do limited wars.
00:58:05.000 We'll avoid a hot total war.
00:58:07.000 But you can see that it's, I think the time for limited war is over.
00:58:11.000 It served its purpose.
00:58:12.000 We did avert World War III.
00:58:14.000 Wait, are you advocating now for total war?
00:58:15.000 No, I'm advocating for no war.
00:58:17.000 I don't think we need war anymore.
00:58:18.000 I mean, we're getting to a place where we don't- No, you're right.
00:58:19.000 I talk about it all the time.
00:58:20.000 Violence doesn't work anymore.
00:58:21.000 Yeah.
00:58:22.000 You become the villain instantly when you engage in that stuff.
00:58:25.000 We're getting there.
00:58:26.000 We're molecularly printing, you know, water and food.
00:58:29.000 We'll be able to do that pretty soon.
00:58:30.000 So, we're very close.
00:58:32.000 We just gotta build them replicators, and that's it.
00:58:35.000 But I will say, too- That's it.
00:58:36.000 We're almost there.
00:58:37.000 QED.
00:58:38.000 Post-scarcity, bro.
00:58:39.000 People are printing food.
00:58:39.000 Post-scarcity.
00:58:41.000 We already live in an abundant world.
00:58:42.000 Just look at all of the fat people in America.
00:58:45.000 Yep.
00:58:46.000 We live in a world of abundance and we're designed to live in a world of scarcity.
00:58:50.000 This is the one thing I try to hammer into my kids brains constantly.
00:58:53.000 Bro.
00:58:54.000 What?
00:58:54.000 Not just fat people.
00:58:56.000 Fat homeless people.
00:58:57.000 We have people who are homeless and morbidly obese.
00:58:57.000 Right.
00:59:01.000 That's that's like that's I don't know if it's a testament to capitalism or like a detriment, you know, or a It's a it's a prime example of the way our society has evolved faster than our physical physical being.
00:59:15.000 We we we are creatures of worlds of scarcity now living in a world of abundance.
00:59:15.000 Right.
00:59:20.000 And we just don't know how to operate.
00:59:22.000 Right.
00:59:22.000 We don't operate.
00:59:24.000 Ironically, think about this.
00:59:25.000 A man with chiseled eight pack like you.
00:59:28.000 Yeah, not not right now, but by summertime, I promise that beach body.
00:59:35.000 That's a sign of status to appear as though you're emaciated.
00:59:40.000 Yeah.
00:59:40.000 Like what is that?
00:59:42.000 That's a world turned upside down on its head.
00:59:44.000 These guys, these guys who do the, the, like the photo shoots of the super muscles and everything, they dehydrate themselves.
00:59:49.000 Oh yeah, of course.
00:59:50.000 You have to drop a lot of the water so that the muscles come through the skin better.
00:59:53.000 Yeah, and top-down lighting is always really good, too.
00:59:57.000 I think I was reading something from Jason Moma, who was Aquaman, and he posted a picture.
01:00:01.000 Something happened where he was at the beach, and they posted a photo saying he's really let himself go, and he literally didn't.
01:00:07.000 He was still doing the training program.
01:00:08.000 He was just like, it's crazy that you think.
01:00:11.000 Just like having skin and looking this way, having like hydrated skin, you think is letting yourself go because they're so used to these movies where they're like emaciated.
01:00:19.000 Let me just say one thing.
01:00:20.000 If you've ever seen Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Thor with his shirt off for a second or the Wolverine or whatever, just know that those guys, they train like six months.
01:00:30.000 for that one day for that one shot where they have their shirt off.
01:00:34.000 And that is not real.
01:00:35.000 That is not sustained.
01:00:36.000 And that's what guys that are on steroids with personal trainers and personal chefs and they can only maintain that for just a few days for that photo shoot.
01:00:44.000 And I think it's totally unrealistic.
01:00:45.000 I think Hemsworth who plays Thor said he was eating like several pounds of fish and chicken every day because you need that much protein to maintain the mass.
01:00:53.000 And then they do this.
01:00:54.000 They film the movie over the month and then he goes to a lighter training thing where he's not Breaking himself.
01:01:00.000 Back to a normal guy.
01:01:01.000 Gerard Butler is training for 300.
01:01:02.000 He played Leonidas.
01:01:04.000 It's amazing.
01:01:05.000 I think there's a YouTube short 10-minute video about it.
01:01:07.000 It's really powerful.
01:01:08.000 Nevertheless, it is interesting how we need to adapt to a world of abundance when we're accustomed to a world of scarcity.
01:01:15.000 Yeah, good point.
01:01:16.000 So we're brainwashed.
01:01:17.000 We're basically to think that there's not enough.
01:01:19.000 Not brainwashed.
01:01:21.000 Through all time and history, there has not been enough.
01:01:25.000 And now you can order any vegetable, any fruit, more or less, on the internet.
01:01:29.000 I mean, that's a problem.
01:01:29.000 It is.
01:01:30.000 It seems like it has become a problem.
01:01:31.000 It is a problem.
01:01:32.000 It's a problem that you can order strawberries in winter because they got to grow them in, like, Mexico and then put them on a freight and then ship it all the way out.
01:01:40.000 It's a huge waste of energy for a luxury.
01:01:43.000 It's a luxury.
01:01:44.000 I get it.
01:01:45.000 It's great.
01:01:46.000 But in that capacity, I think people should get back to, like, we need to get back.
01:01:50.000 People should put chickens on.
01:01:51.000 Like, you know, we got to get chickens, man.
01:01:53.000 You buy a chicken, bro.
01:01:54.000 I saw a tweet.
01:01:55.000 Yeah, I'm all about it.
01:01:56.000 We got.
01:01:56.000 Let's get some chickens.
01:01:57.000 So this is this is my shout out to all the people who are upset about Joe Biden, the stimulus check.
01:02:01.000 I think that's like what we're starting the segment off with.
01:02:04.000 You can get mad.
01:02:05.000 The government's not going to give you that money.
01:02:07.000 But what are you going to do about it?
01:02:08.000 What are you going to do?
01:02:09.000 You're going to sit there and be like, I'm mad.
01:02:11.000 All right.
01:02:12.000 Here's a solution.
01:02:13.000 You got to be self-sustainable.
01:02:15.000 And that's fine.
01:02:15.000 I don't want a solution.
01:02:16.000 You can be mad if you want, but then you're going to be hungry and mad.
01:02:19.000 You could start an Instagram account, buy baseball gloves and resell them at retail?
01:02:23.000 Yeah, or shoes.
01:02:25.000 Or, or.
01:02:26.000 You know what I see?
01:02:26.000 I see signs for all over the place is people have chickens and they sell the eggs.
01:02:29.000 Yeah.
01:02:30.000 They collect them all.
01:02:31.000 And then after a certain amount of time, they eat them if they go, if they're too old, but then the fresher ones they always have available for sale.
01:02:35.000 300 eggs per year per hen.
01:02:37.000 Get on it.
01:02:38.000 300 eggs?
01:02:38.000 Yeah.
01:02:40.000 Per year, per hen.
01:02:41.000 If you do it right, though.
01:02:41.000 I learned that by watching Homestead Rescue, one of my favorite shows on television.
01:02:45.000 Oh, cool.
01:02:46.000 So this is an important point, though.
01:02:48.000 You know, we were talking the other day with Ryan Long about whether or not—this was one of the Timcast member segments—whether or not society will irreparably change Completely.
01:02:59.000 When they release the lockdown finally, how different will everything be?
01:03:03.000 And I was like, I think it'll be different forever.
01:03:05.000 I think it's done.
01:03:06.000 New normal is here.
01:03:06.000 It's different.
01:03:08.000 The habits you had are gone.
01:03:10.000 Regular people.
01:03:12.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:03:13.000 I mean, I hear what you're saying, but like, I'm thinking about this summer and lockdowns being released.
01:03:18.000 And all I can think about is getting my ass back down to Miami and going to a pool party and drinking and dancing to house music and being around beautiful people.
01:03:25.000 And that's exactly what I did.
01:03:26.000 I didn't say that wouldn't happen.
01:03:27.000 I know, but like those are my normal habits.
01:03:30.000 Right, right.
01:03:30.000 So people who used to go to the movies and haven't gone to the movies in over a year might go to a movie, but now HBO Max is publishing movies at the exact same time.
01:03:37.000 Are they really?
01:03:38.000 Yep.
01:03:38.000 So when the movie comes out now, it's on streaming services already.
01:03:42.000 And guess what?
01:03:43.000 Friends have already formed movie night groups where they're like, Hey, it's Friday.
01:03:47.000 Let's do movie night.
01:03:48.000 Now a movie comes out and they're like, Oh, we can go see movie night.
01:03:50.000 Let's watch the new movie.
01:03:50.000 Let's do movie night.
01:03:52.000 They don't go to the theater anymore.
01:03:53.000 Habits are being changed completely.
01:03:55.000 So here's what I say.
01:03:57.000 You can't count on the government, man.
01:03:58.000 You can cross your fingers and hope it'll be there for you, but that's not a guarantee.
01:04:01.000 What people don't seem to understand on the left... I don't care if you call it government.
01:04:06.000 I don't care if you call it a non-profit.
01:04:08.000 I don't care if you call it a corporation.
01:04:09.000 It is an organization.
01:04:11.000 That's it.
01:04:12.000 And really, really big ones tend to suck.
01:04:15.000 Comcast?
01:04:16.000 Everybody complains about Comcast.
01:04:18.000 It's a monopoly in my area.
01:04:19.000 They don't answer their phones.
01:04:20.000 Great.
01:04:21.000 So why do you think the government being in charge of something is going to change that?
01:04:23.000 It's the same thing.
01:04:25.000 What's the difference?
01:04:25.000 Let me ask you this question.
01:04:27.000 You know what the only real difference, in my opinion, between... Let's say you live in an area where you have Comcast.
01:04:33.000 And then you have, you know, government, you know, provided service of some sort.
01:04:38.000 Like, you can only get your electricity or waste management is a government program.
01:04:44.000 What's the difference?
01:04:45.000 You pay a subscription fee.
01:04:46.000 You get the service.
01:04:47.000 You can complain.
01:04:49.000 Here's the thing about government I like better.
01:04:50.000 You have rights.
01:04:52.000 If you have a problem with government, you can escalate it to the authorities.
01:04:56.000 These private corporations like Facebook or Comcast can do whatever.
01:04:59.000 What are you going to do?
01:05:00.000 I'm suing them because they won't give me internet.
01:05:03.000 You can try.
01:05:03.000 Maybe there's a reason they might give you the internet, or they'll just be like, sorry, too bad, go home.
01:05:07.000 And you can vote the government people out of power if they do a poor job, so there's that incentive.
01:05:11.000 So what I'm saying is, I think a private monopoly is worse than a public monopoly, but you need to understand the difference is very, very slim.
01:05:21.000 If you say the government should run this entire system right here, you're basically saying, I want Comcast taking care of my healthcare.
01:05:29.000 Nah, I don't know about all that.
01:05:31.000 But I'm actually in favor of a base-level coverage with private hospitals and private insurance.
01:05:37.000 So there's still some kind of universal care.
01:05:39.000 I've often talked about this.
01:05:41.000 Maybe what we really need is that the government acts as a referee or provides vouchers And that's it.
01:05:48.000 There's no government-run healthcare.
01:05:49.000 There's no government-run schools.
01:05:52.000 It's vouchers.
01:05:53.000 We all pay the taxes.
01:05:55.000 Then the government says, we make sure people don't go below a certain threshold.
01:05:58.000 People who are wealthier are going to naturally pay more because 10% of a million is way more than 10% of 100.
01:06:02.000 And that means poor people will get access by voucher to these programs.
01:06:07.000 But does that mean that taxpayers have to pay for the vouchers?
01:06:10.000 Yes.
01:06:10.000 So that's still lying in the pockets of these exorbitant prices of these private medical industry But now you've got, you've got competition.
01:06:18.000 You simplify the system.
01:06:19.000 I'm not saying it's a perfect idea.
01:06:20.000 I'm saying it might be a way this, it might be a good solution, right?
01:06:24.000 Cause we've talked to, um, who's, who's the, uh, I'm forgetting the guy's name.
01:06:28.000 The, the, uh, D'Angelis, Corey D'Angelis.
01:06:30.000 Yeah.
01:06:30.000 He's a great guy.
01:06:33.000 But we've also talked about police choice, fire department choice, hospital choice.
01:06:37.000 I mean, it makes a lot of sense.
01:06:39.000 What if you got vouchers for specific services and then you had to choose who delivered those services?
01:06:44.000 You'd have market competition with a public guarantee.
01:06:48.000 Or we could just stop taxing everybody so much, let you have your money and then go
01:06:52.000 make your own decision.
01:06:53.000 Right.
01:06:54.000 The problem with that is there are people who like, I don't like the idea.
01:06:57.000 Look, I'm a bit left in that regard.
01:06:58.000 I don't like, I don't like the idea that somebody works at McDonald's full time, 80 hours a
01:07:01.000 week, maybe double time and they can't go to the doctor.
01:07:04.000 So what happens is then you have extremely wealthy people.
01:07:08.000 You want to argue flat tax or progressive tax.
01:07:10.000 Fine.
01:07:11.000 The simple answer is, if some dude makes a million bucks and pays 10%, he's paying more than someone who makes a thousand bucks and is paying 10%.
01:07:18.000 He's paying more to taxes.
01:07:19.000 So that will help offset the costs only a little bit, to be completely honest.
01:07:23.000 And I am a fan of the progressive tax.
01:07:25.000 And I think then we have a base level so people aren't, you know, going medically bankrupt.
01:07:29.000 Charter schools is something I know a lot about.
01:07:31.000 I spent 10 years working in charter schools.
01:07:33.000 I was a executive director of a multiple different charter schools.
01:07:36.000 I was a top regulator at one of the most advanced charter school regulators in the country.
01:07:41.000 I know school choice.
01:07:43.000 It is a radical right wing public policy experiment because it is.
01:07:49.000 It's about solving what was a public issue with private entities.
01:07:55.000 Right.
01:07:56.000 So charter schools are privately owned, publicly funded.
01:07:59.000 And the same concept could apply to everything like you just said, police, fire, medical.
01:08:04.000 And what we've seen with charter schools is that they deliver per dollar better results, right?
01:08:11.000 Per on a per dollar basis.
01:08:13.000 And what we've seen in Washington, D.C.
01:08:15.000 is that about half of the students in D.C.
01:08:18.000 go to charter schools.
01:08:19.000 And what happened at the beginning is charter schools at first outperformed.
01:08:23.000 But now that it's actually half and half, they're actually performing relatively the same.
01:08:28.000 Right.
01:08:28.000 So that means that they're delivering the same product, but they do it with far less money.
01:08:32.000 Yeah, they do it with far less money.
01:08:34.000 They have far more.
01:08:35.000 They're far more nimble.
01:08:36.000 They can be shut down if they're terrible schools and they don't meet standards.
01:08:40.000 It's a really good system.
01:08:41.000 And the irony for me in working in that environment is that truly a radical right wing policy experiment implemented in D.C.
01:08:48.000 by Georgia senators in the 90s.
01:08:51.000 Right.
01:08:51.000 Republicans.
01:08:53.000 Completely staffed by radical left-wing social justice warriors that have no idea that they're participating in the deconstruction of the federal government that they so love and hold dear.
01:09:04.000 But I would love to see this thing, see it expanded.
01:09:07.000 But what happens though, you know, same arguments as they make about charter schools.
01:09:11.000 It's like, well, what happens when, you know, the rich people get all the good cops and the poor people get all the bad cops?
01:09:15.000 Are you rich?
01:09:16.000 People get all the good fire.
01:09:17.000 Doctors are equal, bro.
01:09:19.000 The vouchers are equal.
01:09:20.000 Yeah.
01:09:21.000 So when it comes to certain services, everybody has the same vouchers.
01:09:26.000 I see.
01:09:26.000 Oh, I see.
01:09:26.000 You're just like, I get fire service from this company.
01:09:29.000 I can just choose to go to this company or that company.
01:09:31.000 But they're local.
01:09:31.000 That's the problem is like if everybody in one area wants the good cops and they pay their vouchers to it, then all these people in different area also want the good cops and pay their vouchers.
01:09:40.000 So then population density will lead to better, wealthier assistance.
01:09:43.000 So then a new police department will open up to serve that demand.
01:09:46.000 Oh, interesting.
01:09:47.000 It's an interesting idea.
01:09:47.000 Yep.
01:09:49.000 I'd like to see it explored, you know, a little bit better.
01:09:52.000 I don't know.
01:09:52.000 Ain't gonna happen in this administration, my friend.
01:09:55.000 They hate school choice more than they hate, you know, Syrians.
01:10:00.000 They like the teachers' vote.
01:10:01.000 They want those votes.
01:10:02.000 Well, I'll tell you this, my friends.
01:10:05.000 The excellent, the perfect opportunity to segue.
01:10:07.000 Ain't gonna be nothing for the teachers to teach.
01:10:10.000 We got this story from CBS this morning.
01:10:12.000 Experts sound the alarm on declining birth rates among younger generations.
01:10:15.000 Quote, It's a crisis.
01:10:18.000 Before I read this, I want to tell you guys a story.
01:10:21.000 You guys may be aware that I have a music video that I've produced.
01:10:24.000 It's called Will of the People.
01:10:25.000 I enjoy that song greatly.
01:10:26.000 It is a song.
01:10:27.000 I made it.
01:10:28.000 And I decided to just run an ad.
01:10:31.000 That's just a snip of the song.
01:10:32.000 And then if people click it, they get brought to the full song.
01:10:35.000 Just to see how it performs and see if, like, there's a way to actually, you know, most people who do songs and entertainment have big marketing budgets.
01:10:43.000 I don't, but I was like, let's buy some Google Ads, see what happens.
01:10:45.000 So I go into Google Adsense, and I'm like, the people who will like this song are fans of, you know, rock music, like indie rock kind of stuff.
01:10:52.000 Probably, I think, people who aren't into news and politics.
01:10:55.000 Google gave me a demographic breakdown of the people on YouTube who watch news.
01:11:01.000 This was a crazy thing.
01:11:03.000 66% they say are men.
01:11:05.000 They are, most of them, the plurality are between the ages of 35 and 44.
01:11:12.000 And around, I think it's like 65 to 70% have no family.
01:11:17.000 That to me was crazy.
01:11:18.000 Wait, those are the people that bought your song?
01:11:21.000 No, no, no, no, no.
01:11:21.000 These are just the people that are more interested in politics?
01:11:23.000 Yes.
01:11:24.000 So Google basically told me that the people who are interested in politics on YouTube tend to be 35 to 44 with no family.
01:11:30.000 If you have a family, you focus on the family less so than on the surrounding.
01:11:30.000 Makes sense.
01:11:34.000 Definitely.
01:11:35.000 You have far less time for news and media consumption.
01:11:38.000 I have three kids.
01:11:40.000 When I had two kids under two, There is a gap in my cultural understanding of the world that started around 2006.
01:11:49.000 It goes to about 2009.
01:11:51.000 People ask me when I started dating after my divorce, have you seen this movie?
01:11:54.000 Do you hear this song?
01:11:55.000 Do you do this thing?
01:11:56.000 What are you talking about?
01:11:57.000 I was sleeping.
01:11:58.000 I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:12:00.000 You just have no time to consume anything.
01:12:02.000 Well, so this is interesting because I saw that and I was just surprised at how many dudes don't have families.
01:12:10.000 I'm going to be 35 in a week.
01:12:11.000 I don't got any kids.
01:12:12.000 So we have this story from CBS.
01:12:14.000 They say, So this is actually, that sounds like good news.
01:12:17.000 boom that some doctors expected was actually a baby bust.
01:12:20.000 So this is actually, that sounds like good news.
01:12:22.000 Health departments in more than two dozen states provided records to CBS News showing
01:12:25.000 a 7% drop, wait what?
01:12:27.000 In births in December, nine months after the first lockdowns began.
01:12:31.000 Researchers say it continues a much bigger plunge in fertility in recent decades.
01:12:35.000 The number of babies the average woman in the U.S.
01:12:37.000 is expected to deliver has dropped from nearly four in the 1950s to less than two today.
01:12:43.000 The drop could present an entirely different risk to society than one that was first warned about decades ago, when an apocalyptic fear gripped America in the 60s and 70s.
01:12:52.000 The stakes in this battle are far greater than any other we've ever fought, Walter Cronkite said in a 1970 CBS News broadcast.
01:13:00.000 The experts we interviewed told us population was the fundamental crisis.
01:13:04.000 As the world stampeded towards 10 billion people, many researchers back then predicted that overpopulation would ruin humanity.
01:13:11.000 Biologist Paul Ehrlich once explained the threat as the population bomb, saying, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, quote, That's an interesting question.
01:13:41.000 What policies did they enact?
01:13:43.000 Anti-natalist policies.
01:13:45.000 Oh, it's called feminism.
01:13:46.000 Hello, by the way.
01:13:47.000 No, I mean, look, look, that's a conspiracy theory.
01:13:49.000 There's no push between celebrities and prominent talk shows to tell women to abort their babies.
01:13:59.000 Or go for your career.
01:14:01.000 You don't need that, man.
01:14:02.000 By the time you're 35, you'll be fine.
01:14:04.000 You'll find a guy then.
01:14:05.000 Don't worry about it.
01:14:07.000 Yeah, seems like they're complaining about it now.
01:14:09.000 Oops.
01:14:10.000 Meyers set a decline.
01:14:11.000 This is a crisis.
01:14:12.000 We need to have enough working age people to carry the load of these seniors who deserve their retirement.
01:14:17.000 They deserve all their entitlements and they're going to live out another 30 years.
01:14:21.000 Nobody in the history of the globe has had so many older people to deal with.
01:14:25.000 I would be interested to see what other research that guy works on.
01:14:28.000 I would bet a million dollars that either he or his friends are also pro open borders and interested in bringing in all kinds of immigrant labor as well.
01:14:37.000 Because of the declining population.
01:14:40.000 Yes, because of the declining population.
01:14:41.000 So you're saying have babies so that they can become slaves to the older generation?
01:14:45.000 Yes, exactly right.
01:14:47.000 No, that's exactly right.
01:14:48.000 To pay for the debts that have been promised to the baby boomers.
01:14:53.000 That's exactly right.
01:14:54.000 I'm not annoyed.
01:14:55.000 Yeah.
01:14:55.000 Do you have parents?
01:14:56.000 Yeah.
01:14:56.000 When they're sick, will you help them?
01:14:58.000 Yeah.
01:14:58.000 So you're a slave to the older people?
01:15:00.000 I'm a slave to the system.
01:15:01.000 You're a slave to these elderly folks?
01:15:03.000 All these millennials who don't have kids, it is going to be brutal for them when
01:15:03.000 Oh, come on.
01:15:08.000 they're, you know, sitting there in their seventies and there's no one take care of
01:15:11.000 Who's gonna take care of them?
01:15:11.000 them.
01:15:13.000 A robot?
01:15:14.000 The government's going to hire someone to do it?
01:15:15.000 Maybe.
01:15:16.000 I used to call this the crazy Aunt Margaret phenomenon.
01:15:20.000 The crazy Aunt Margaret phenomenon is going to be the end of feminism.
01:15:23.000 And it's going to happen in about 10 to 15 years when all these women in their 20s and 30s who have heard the, you go girl, get your career, forget about your man, all this stuff.
01:15:32.000 When they get to be 45 and 50 and they're sitting around and they're like, wait, what did I do?
01:15:37.000 Why did I do that?
01:15:38.000 We're going to have a nation of crazy Aunt Margarets.
01:15:42.000 And then the women behind them will observe and be like, yo, I ain't going to be like Crazy Ann Margaret.
01:15:48.000 And you know what the guys are going to do at 45 and 50?
01:15:50.000 They're going to be riding around in their red convertible with their high-paying job and tons of disposable income.
01:15:57.000 And they're going to be like, hey, young 30-year-old woman, want to cruise up to that infinity pool at the, you know, the penthouse suite?
01:16:02.000 I got all the money!
01:16:03.000 And he makes it rain.
01:16:04.000 And then the younger women are going to be like, this is going to be great.
01:16:07.000 But like you mentioned, they're going to see the Crazy Ann Margarets.
01:16:09.000 Then they're gonna see these more powerful, high-status, successful men.
01:16:14.000 And a lot of women are gonna be like, this 50-year-old guy... I mean, you look at movie stars.
01:16:20.000 Like Leonardo DiCaprio, for instance.
01:16:21.000 He's always dating these young women.
01:16:23.000 Why would Leo date a 50-year-old woman?
01:16:26.000 He's gonna date these young women.
01:16:27.000 I'm not saying it's good or bad.
01:16:29.000 I'm just saying that's what they do.
01:16:30.000 The burgeoning crypto class of men.
01:16:34.000 Come on, let's face it.
01:16:36.000 It's mostly men who dabbled in crypto in 2011 and 12, maybe bought a thousand women, 80 bucks, whatever.
01:16:43.000 Those are the guys that are going to be running harems in 15 years, because eventually all the women between the ages of 18 and 50 are going to be competing for like the same group of men.
01:16:54.000 Disaster is coming in this perspective.
01:16:57.000 Disaster.
01:16:57.000 I used to hear these numbers like overpopulation.
01:17:00.000 I mean, I was brainwashed with that growing up.
01:17:02.000 I thought for sure we're overpopulated.
01:17:03.000 There's no rush to have four kids anymore.
01:17:05.000 It was in the same article, the same Time Magazine that had the great freeze, the new Ice Age articles in it.
01:17:12.000 But now I'm thinking, if you have a kid that you can teach, that might be the kid that solves the problem and can reorganize Earth to host 80 billion people easily.
01:17:22.000 Did your parents think that you would be having these conversations on a show about, like, computer code and the Federal Reserve?
01:17:29.000 If they didn't have a kid who was Ian Crosland, the conversation wouldn't happen on this show.
01:17:33.000 That's a good point.
01:17:33.000 If you raise your kids right, they can be the savior.
01:17:36.000 It's not, not incentive to have, well, I don't know, maybe it is an incentive to have a kid.
01:17:40.000 You know, sometimes, uh, your kids turn out to be, I don't know, crackheads.
01:17:45.000 Oh, it's possible.
01:17:47.000 Sometimes crackheads are cool.
01:17:48.000 I'm trying to think back to that statement that this guy made in an article, which was very disturbing.
01:17:53.000 We what was it? We were too successful.
01:17:55.000 We right. We did it like like the efforts that we.
01:17:59.000 Yeah, we went too far.
01:18:00.000 We went too far in disincentivizing fertility.
01:18:04.000 That's a terrifying statement.
01:18:07.000 Actually, what what did they do?
01:18:09.000 What are the different things that they do?
01:18:10.000 Like feminism, abortion, the de-socialization of the family, the deconstruction of the family unit, Black Lives Matter, deconstructing the family union or family unit, et cetera.
01:18:22.000 You know, it's really funny.
01:18:23.000 There was a poll.
01:18:24.000 Oh, no, no fault divorce.
01:18:26.000 There was a poll that was posted by Matthew Iglesias we brought up, I think, last week.
01:18:29.000 I was going to mention him, actually.
01:18:30.000 He says, he's like, I'm going to break the entire discourse.
01:18:34.000 And it was married men, working married men, and their opinion on who should, you know, two parents versus one parent versus childcare.
01:18:42.000 And what it found was that everybody has a bias for exactly what they're doing.
01:18:46.000 So that means if a woman is working, she thinks women should be working and childcare should take care of the kid.
01:18:51.000 Of course.
01:18:51.000 If the man is working and he's married and the wife is watching the kids, the man thinks the husband should work, the wife thinks the mother should raise the kids.
01:18:57.000 And that's why they chose to do it, right?
01:18:59.000 So this is what's really interesting.
01:19:02.000 Because whenever I have these conversations, I've seen a lot, I've never, I've not heard from women who are mothers about, you know, writing articles about why women shouldn't be in the workplace or why they would be happier with kids.
01:19:13.000 And the reason is they're not.
01:19:15.000 So it's an interesting predicament.
01:19:16.000 For the women who like being stay-at-home mothers, they don't have the career status and power to write these articles unless someone opens the door for them.
01:19:23.000 Whereas the prominent journalist class or activist feminist class, they're the ones writing for all these blogs.
01:19:29.000 So the only thing you're going to hear is their perspective.
01:19:32.000 Jessica Valenti.
01:19:33.000 Right, right.
01:19:34.000 She was the lazy lady who wrote that article where she was like, catcalling is offensive.
01:19:39.000 And then a year later, she's like, I'm sad no one catcalls me.
01:19:41.000 Uh-huh.
01:19:43.000 How's it going?
01:19:43.000 How it started.
01:19:45.000 Right, right, right.
01:19:46.000 Here's the funny thing.
01:19:47.000 This is the one subject that really triggers people.
01:19:49.000 I love mentioning this because invariably they're going to like clip this and make videos about it.
01:19:54.000 And they're going to say Intel and all that other dumb stuff.
01:19:57.000 I don't care, dude.
01:19:58.000 I'm successful.
01:19:58.000 I'm having a good time.
01:19:59.000 And we got to talk about this.
01:20:01.000 The question is, according to Gallup, it was like, do you think women should be working or whatever?
01:20:09.000 And 56% of women said they would rather have a career than be a stay-at-home mom.
01:20:14.000 But that means 44% of women told Gallup, despite everything you might hear in the press, They would rather be stay-at-home moms.
01:20:21.000 That's close to 50-50.
01:20:23.000 And I think those women who have careers and all that, I'm stoked.
01:20:26.000 You know, more power to you.
01:20:27.000 That's awesome.
01:20:28.000 I'm glad you found happiness.
01:20:29.000 But that also means there's a lot of women who don't want to do that.
01:20:32.000 And those are the ones I think aren't being represented properly in the media because they're not working.
01:20:37.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:37.000 They're not in these careers and these jobs.
01:20:39.000 They shouldn't pull women.
01:20:40.000 They should pull their children.
01:20:42.000 What do you think?
01:20:43.000 Would you rather your mom be at work all day or at home taking care of you?
01:20:46.000 Would you rather your dad be at home, you know, playing ball and going to the park with the dog or at work?
01:20:51.000 If you had to choose, one of your parents has to go to work.
01:20:55.000 It's gotta be dad.
01:20:56.000 Oh, my mom for sure.
01:20:57.000 Why do you think the kid's gonna say- We all know they're gonna pick mom.
01:21:00.000 Why do you think so?
01:21:01.000 Because mom care takes.
01:21:02.000 Mom takes care.
01:21:03.000 Mom makes the peanut butter and the guns.
01:21:04.000 I wanted my mom out of the house because she was the slave driver.
01:21:06.000 When you were seven?
01:21:07.000 Yeah, she was the mean one.
01:21:09.000 She was the lawyer and my dad was the fun.
01:21:11.000 Well, she's a lawyer.
01:21:13.000 No, she was like the lawyer of the house.
01:21:14.000 I think what you're missing is that If mom is the caretaker, then the kid is used to mom being there and he's feeling bad.
01:21:22.000 He doesn't see dad enough.
01:21:23.000 So when asked, he'll say, I want to see dad more.
01:21:25.000 Get it?
01:21:26.000 He sees mom all the time.
01:21:27.000 And you may be right about the mom taking care of the kid, but it's also more, more proximity.
01:21:32.000 Mom means more stern attitude from mom as well.
01:21:35.000 Kids, we're going to take one of your parents away.
01:21:36.000 Which one do you want it to be?
01:21:38.000 You're right, because my mom was stern, but probably only because she was around all the time.
01:21:42.000 She had to be.
01:21:43.000 We're going to go back in time.
01:21:44.000 We're going to pull up this next article because I'm willing to trigger the internet once again.
01:21:48.000 This is a story I covered from the New York Post.
01:21:51.000 Women are struggling to find men who make as much money as they do.
01:21:55.000 And I gave a very simple hypothesis.
01:21:58.000 And people did not like it because it was an offensive hypothesis.
01:22:02.000 I don't care.
01:22:03.000 The hypothesis goes as such.
01:22:05.000 If there is a 30-year-old woman who's working a job, and she makes $75K a year, and there is a 30-year-old man who works a similar job and makes $75K a year, the woman looks at the guy and says, that's my peer, that's who I want to be with, or someone who makes more money.
01:22:22.000 But that guy who's 30, making $75K a year, is not looking at a 30-year-old woman.
01:22:26.000 He's looking at a 22-year-old woman.
01:22:28.000 OkCupid data showed us this.
01:22:30.000 That no matter what age the guy was, he would message 22-year-old women.
01:22:34.000 Guilty as charged.
01:22:36.000 Of course.
01:22:37.000 Hello.
01:22:37.000 Except for me, the number is 24.
01:22:38.000 No, my age range is like 21 to 45.
01:22:39.000 I'm not a fan.
01:22:40.000 I'm not a fan.
01:22:41.000 That's not for me.
01:22:42.000 Of 24-year-old girls?
01:22:43.000 I'm not.
01:22:44.000 I mean, the idea of like, I guess, hooking up with a 22-year-old, sure, I get.
01:22:49.000 But, and when I'm talking about a legitimate relationship where you actually want to have a life companion, have a family, I think it's absurd to be a 35-year-old man reaching out to 22-year-olds.
01:22:58.000 Yeah, she'd have to be really evolved.
01:23:00.000 That's why I said 22, no, 24.
01:23:00.000 Yeah.
01:23:03.000 But even 24?
01:23:03.000 26 is the best.
01:23:05.000 I've had three significant relationships in my life, and each one of them began with a girl who was 24.
01:23:11.000 When I was 24, when I was 30, when I was 40.
01:23:15.000 Let me read this.
01:23:16.000 The New York Post writes, The country is facing a crisis of broke dudes, according to new research from Cornell University, and it's left successful ladies single and disgruntled.
01:23:28.000 I wonder if they misunderstood the data.
01:23:31.000 When they ask women, are you finding men your age who have money?
01:23:35.000 I think the issue is it's not so much that the dudes are broke, but that even if a guy is 30 and he's making 25k less than the woman, he's not going to choose a woman who's 30.
01:23:45.000 No, the problem is that women are making too much money.
01:23:48.000 How's that a problem?
01:23:49.000 Because it's ruined evolution.
01:23:52.000 It's ruined everything that is built into a woman's brain.
01:23:55.000 A woman wants to marry a guy who's lateral or above.
01:24:00.000 And if a woman makes so much money, it reduces her pool of available men.
01:24:04.000 The fault of there not being enough men is the fact that women make too much money.
01:24:09.000 Boom.
01:24:09.000 Done.
01:24:10.000 End of story.
01:24:14.000 They're getting what they've asked for.
01:24:16.000 Ha ha ha.
01:24:17.000 Live in that.
01:24:18.000 By the way, I've got a young girl at home myself.
01:24:21.000 Boom.
01:24:21.000 Get rich.
01:24:23.000 I don't know if I agree with that.
01:24:25.000 I agree that it changes.
01:24:26.000 It's all about a dynamic.
01:24:27.000 If the girls were making $35,000 a year and that same guy was still making $70,000 a year, she'd be like, there's men, there's just eligible men all over the place.
01:24:35.000 But now she's making the same as the guy and she's like, I don't want him.
01:24:38.000 But I don't think that's absolute.
01:24:39.000 I think if there was a guy making 50k a year and a woman was making 150, he'd be like, this is great.
01:24:44.000 Like, we're gonna have tons of money.
01:24:45.000 Actually, Pew has done a number of studies on this very thing, and women say that they want to date a man and marry a man that makes more money than them.
01:24:53.000 But everybody wants to marry up.
01:24:55.000 No!
01:24:55.000 I don't want to marry up!
01:24:57.000 Why would I want to marry a woman that makes more money and works harder than I do and spends more time out of the house?
01:25:01.000 I didn't say that.
01:25:02.000 I didn't say that.
01:25:03.000 I said marry up.
01:25:04.000 How are we calculating up?
01:25:06.000 Do you want to marry, like, a woman who sleeps in the gutter?
01:25:09.000 So it doesn't have to be money.
01:25:10.000 It's like, if she had a heart of gold and was willing to take care of my house and was kind of hot and good with kids, I don't care what she does, as long as she's going to stop doing that.
01:25:18.000 And she's going to start taking care of the family.
01:25:21.000 Wow.
01:25:21.000 Truth.
01:25:22.000 True story.
01:25:23.000 True story.
01:25:24.000 This is a societal difference.
01:25:25.000 No, actually this is evolution.
01:25:27.000 This is me as a man, speaking to women as women.
01:25:29.000 This is not, this is not crazy things.
01:25:31.000 Go ahead.
01:25:32.000 I think that Jack is correct.
01:25:33.000 I believe that this is what is known as hypergamy.
01:25:38.000 So I have read that men become more depressed when their spouses make more money than they do.
01:25:44.000 Of course they do because men thrive on status.
01:25:46.000 This is not a case of just having a bunch of money.
01:25:48.000 This is very much about who earns the money and for guys it is very important to make more money than their spouse.
01:25:55.000 And I know I'm not going to say that's materialistic.
01:25:57.000 I'm just going to say that's the way that it is.
01:25:59.000 And this is the data that I've read.
01:26:01.000 This depresses men to make less of their spouses.
01:26:03.000 This increase the risk of divorce.
01:26:05.000 Yes.
01:26:06.000 Like it's actually a problem for guys.
01:26:07.000 Look, men are hardwired to build, create, provide and protect.
01:26:12.000 And if you take away the things that we do, then people are going to feel terrible.
01:26:18.000 This this this I'm glad you brought this up.
01:26:21.000 I've been writing and thinking about these issues for 10 years, man.
01:26:24.000 And I just spent two hours on Benjamin Boyce's channel ranting about this stuff in my most lucid state.
01:26:30.000 As a matter of fact, please check it out.
01:26:32.000 I was on a roll talking about this.
01:26:34.000 This is the chickens coming home to roost in one hundred and forty eight out of one hundred and fifty of the top metropolitan areas in the in America.
01:26:43.000 Entry level women make more money than their entry level counterpart males.
01:26:47.000 Right.
01:26:48.000 And they're unhappy about it.
01:26:50.000 They've all been herded into college, saddled with debt.
01:26:53.000 They get good jobs.
01:26:54.000 They look around.
01:26:55.000 The men are just the same as them.
01:26:57.000 There's nothing exciting about that.
01:26:58.000 There's no hopeful future in that.
01:27:00.000 There's no, this guy's going to build, create, protect, and provide for me.
01:27:03.000 I can already build, create, protect, and provide for myself, says the woman.
01:27:07.000 And that's why, Tim, I think you're off on this.
01:27:09.000 I think that the natural age difference builds in.
01:27:14.000 This dynamic where a man and a woman could be just as smart, just as interested in the world, just as capable.
01:27:21.000 But by virtue of the age difference, the man is more established.
01:27:27.000 The woman is less established.
01:27:29.000 You have that status difference.
01:27:31.000 The man can provide and protect.
01:27:32.000 The woman can nurture and love and caretake.
01:27:34.000 And people are happier that way.
01:27:36.000 I strongly recommend men don't get married until you're 35 until your career is established.
01:27:41.000 You got your money and then definitely look for a woman who's about 10 years younger than you.
01:27:44.000 That is 100% my advice.
01:27:45.000 What was the Pew Research you're talking about?
01:27:47.000 Because I'm trying to find it.
01:27:47.000 Pew Research.
01:27:49.000 Consistent studies that show women prefer to marry a man that makes either as much money as them or more.
01:27:55.000 Or more.
01:27:56.000 Or more.
01:27:57.000 Never less.
01:27:58.000 Never less.
01:28:00.000 I cannot... I will find it for you.
01:28:03.000 I will find it for you.
01:28:04.000 I can find, though, this study from 2017.
01:28:07.000 Americans see men as the financial providers, even as women's contributions grow.
01:28:12.000 Even as women are starting to make more and more salaries, men are still viewed as the breadwinners.
01:28:17.000 That's the way we're designed.
01:28:17.000 As they should be.
01:28:19.000 That's why we have testosterone.
01:28:20.000 That's why we have big muscles.
01:28:22.000 That's why we could smash things.
01:28:23.000 That's why women are soft and sweet and they like to cuddle things and they feed them from their breasts because they literally give other humans life.
01:28:33.000 That's how we're designed.
01:28:34.000 It's what our hormones do.
01:28:36.000 Oh, this is crazy.
01:28:37.000 I can't believe we're getting into this on this show.
01:28:39.000 Jack Murphy, what are you doing?
01:28:41.000 We're going to get in so much trouble.
01:28:42.000 Let's do it.
01:28:42.000 From Market Watch, May 27, 2019, this one thing in your marriage increases the risk of divorce by 33%.
01:28:52.000 Women making more money than men?
01:28:54.000 Dude, tell us!
01:28:55.000 The financial gender balance within marriage seems to be changing at a faster pace.
01:28:55.000 That's the image.
01:29:00.000 They say, it could be a race to the finish in more ways than one.
01:29:04.000 When wives earn more than their husbands, some men just can't handle it.
01:29:08.000 That's what's up!
01:29:08.000 Neither can the women!
01:29:10.000 Nobody can.
01:29:12.000 Nobody likes it.
01:29:12.000 Only Jessica Valenti out there gets off on making more money than her husband.
01:29:16.000 Only Jessica Valenti gets off on there thinking that her husband is at home.
01:29:19.000 He's so sexy.
01:29:21.000 He's so powerful and masculine.
01:29:23.000 He cut the crust off the kids sandwiches and he wears his slippers
01:29:27.000 and his health robe all day.
01:29:28.000 Only Jessica Valenti thinks like that.
01:29:30.000 I've I've I've seen.
01:29:31.000 And if they don't, I'm sorry.
01:29:32.000 And if the women give lip service to this notion, they're lying.
01:29:37.000 Well, I wonder if it's about money or because I know, because I don't know if it's about money.
01:29:40.000 Like it's about status and power, status and power.
01:29:43.000 Cause if a guy becomes the president, he doesn't make a lot of money, but he's super powerful.
01:29:48.000 And women love that.
01:29:50.000 It's about power and status.
01:29:51.000 And there's no faulting women for this.
01:29:53.000 Women historically do not have physical power.
01:29:57.000 The way that women have physical powers by proxy.
01:30:01.000 We are the neck that turns by making men do things for them using cunning, guile, beauty, caretaking, nurturing and delivering children.
01:30:12.000 Men are proxy power for women.
01:30:14.000 This is this is the way you survive in the caves in the wilderness.
01:30:19.000 They can't go around beating up the bears, and they can't go around beating up the hostile groups that are gonna take us over.
01:30:26.000 So you gotta get a man to do it for you.
01:30:27.000 How do you get a man to do it for you?
01:30:29.000 You look cute, you look pretty, you take care of shit.
01:30:30.000 Here's what they say.
01:30:32.000 They say the risk of divorce is nearly 33% higher when a husband isn't working full-time, according to Money, Work, and Marital Stability Assessing Change in the Gender Determinants of Divorce, a 2016 study of more than 6,300 couples by Alexandra Kilowald, Professor of Sociology at Harvard University.
01:30:49.000 Quote, for marriages formed after 1975, husband's lack of full-time employment is associated with
01:30:55.000 higher risk of divorce. Expectations of wives' homemaking may have eroded, but the husband
01:31:00.000 breadwinner norm persists. The apparent disconnect may be due to peer pressure or attitudes passed
01:31:05.000 down from parents.
01:31:07.000 Another theory?
01:31:08.000 A persistent glass ceiling for women at work may encourage men to believe they should also be the highest earners at home.
01:31:15.000 One thing they never talk about, though, is there's always an excuse, but it's always the man's fault.
01:31:22.000 Of course it is, because everything is the man's fault, period.
01:31:25.000 This sounds like it's like a lack of purpose issue.
01:31:27.000 If someone doesn't have a full-time job, maybe they're missing purpose in their life and they become much less attractive.
01:31:32.000 That is a separate issue.
01:31:33.000 But yes, you're exactly right.
01:31:34.000 People don't have a mission or a purpose or an expression of values that's unrelated to their source of income.
01:31:40.000 And people have terrible, horrible lives when their values and their mission and their purpose aren't aligned with the things that they have to do to earn money.
01:31:47.000 I would even like to see independently wealthy people that inherit a bunch of money that don't have jobs and see their rates of success in marriage.
01:31:53.000 Cause I think that would be low also.
01:31:54.000 If you don't have something that you love outside of yourself.
01:31:58.000 Those two things aren't necessarily the case.
01:31:59.000 You can be born with a lot of money and have passions, you know, building no meat or vaccines or whatever.
01:32:05.000 It's not that women or men seek money in their partner.
01:32:08.000 It's that they seek drive, ambition, status, and power or potential for it.
01:32:12.000 No, what they seek is differential power.
01:32:15.000 That's what they both parties seek.
01:32:17.000 What do you mean by that?
01:32:18.000 Because you can be a broke-ass dude and find a woman that looks up to you because she's a broker.
01:32:24.000 Right?
01:32:25.000 A relative power?
01:32:27.000 Yes, it's about relative power.
01:32:28.000 It's about relative power and relative status.
01:32:31.000 A woman that doesn't have a job, doesn't have a career, doesn't have any education latches onto a guy that's got a minimum wage job and has a room in a house somewhere.
01:32:39.000 Well, she's moving up in the world.
01:32:42.000 Right.
01:32:42.000 It's all about relative power.
01:32:44.000 And that's why the more OK, look, more women graduate high school, more women apply to go to college, more women graduate college, more women get hired out of school for jobs.
01:32:55.000 Women make more money than men coming out of school.
01:32:58.000 Yep.
01:32:59.000 Women live longer, are healthier, have less alcoholism, drug use, suicide.
01:33:05.000 And at the end of the day, they control more wealth when they die.
01:33:09.000 Interesting.
01:33:09.000 Yep.
01:33:09.000 Okay.
01:33:10.000 And all these things are pushing and they're happening.
01:33:13.000 And at the same time, women's satisfaction in life has gone down.
01:33:13.000 They're happening.
01:33:17.000 Marriage rates have gone down.
01:33:19.000 Divorce rates are going down, but less so than with the marriage rate.
01:33:24.000 So more people are getting divorced.
01:33:25.000 Fertility is down.
01:33:27.000 Childbirth is down.
01:33:28.000 Happiness is down.
01:33:29.000 Why?
01:33:30.000 It's not because we live in a world that's like horrible, terrible place.
01:33:34.000 We live in a world of abundance.
01:33:35.000 We have everything that we want.
01:33:37.000 This is the greatest time to be alive.
01:33:38.000 Hold on, finish this thought.
01:33:40.000 It's the greatest time to be alive, but these women are miserable because they make more money, they're more educated, they have more power than they really want, and the pool of men available to them diminishes with each step that they take up the ladder.
01:33:54.000 It is a self-defeating cycle that we can all observe on the outside.
01:33:59.000 And man, I'm so glad we're talking about this.
01:34:00.000 I've been writing about this for 10 years.
01:34:02.000 I'll make it simple.
01:34:03.000 It doesn't matter if it's the men's fault. They want to write these studies and they say men
01:34:07.000 can't handle that women make more money than them. It's like, okay, well that just means that women
01:34:12.000 still can't date the men. You can blame the men for it, but if a woman wants to date a man and
01:34:17.000 she wants to find a good man and men don't like this because you think they can't handle it,
01:34:21.000 well then make a choice. Do you want to date them or do you want to adhere to what the man wants?
01:34:26.000 So it's like when you're in a relationship, you don't just dictate the relationship.
01:34:29.000 You don't say, you are dating me now!
01:34:31.000 That's it.
01:34:32.000 No, every relationship is, are we providing something to each other in some capacity that makes us feel fulfilled that relationship will work.
01:34:38.000 If this story from the New York Post says that these women can't find men who make as much money as them, and then this other study says men can't handle it, well then it sounds like... It sounds like both parties are dissatisfied, bro.
01:34:51.000 By all means, say the men are losers who can't handle it.
01:34:55.000 Okay, that still means the woman doesn't get a date.
01:34:57.000 Yeah.
01:34:58.000 So there we go.
01:34:58.000 It's an impasse.
01:34:59.000 Well, it's every, the system is flawed.
01:34:59.000 Right.
01:35:02.000 We, we have just continued, we've just decided to just, and this is feminism.
01:35:07.000 This is so critical race theory.
01:35:09.000 This is SJW.
01:35:10.000 This is the whole thing about the radical left.
01:35:12.000 We have obliterated the differences between men and women in our minds and in our discourse, but you can't erase the biological evolutionary differences that are built into us over millions of years.
01:35:23.000 But, but social influences as well.
01:35:25.000 That's big time, because when you remove the incentive to do better to people, then they strive less to do better.
01:35:32.000 I've done my best work, for the most part, when I didn't have enough, and I needed to get more.
01:35:36.000 I was seeking that power.
01:35:38.000 Once I get the power, I find that there's this tendency to sit on my laurels, to rest back, and be like, now I have it.
01:35:42.000 You gotta work on that, bro.
01:35:44.000 Right, so I have to create this outside, invisible enemy that I need to overcome, basically.
01:35:50.000 I love Peterson's work.
01:35:51.000 He talks a lot about this stuff.
01:35:52.000 I keep thinking about him when we're talking about this.
01:35:55.000 You know, this whole social structure where you have enough, you have everything.
01:35:58.000 Government's going to take care of you.
01:35:59.000 I think it's killing incentive for people to do better.
01:36:00.000 I also think that you insult and demean the maturity and capabilities of 24 or 5 year old women.
01:36:07.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:36:08.000 There's no reason in the world a mature, established 35 year old man cannot have a healthy, productive, fruitful relationship with a woman 10 years younger than him.
01:36:18.000 I didn't say that.
01:36:19.000 I just think... You just said they were immature and they shouldn't be matched up.
01:36:21.000 22.
01:36:21.000 Okay.
01:36:22.000 22, 23, 24.
01:36:23.000 Look, they're a ten-year-old to go to college.
01:36:28.000 Women mature way more quickly than men, dude.
01:36:31.000 Way more quickly.
01:36:32.000 It's preference.
01:36:32.000 It's their own.
01:36:33.000 At age 15, women, they're basically women already.
01:36:36.000 Right?
01:36:37.000 And it's like men hit their prime in their 30s.
01:36:41.000 35.
01:36:41.000 Why wouldn't a man in his prime latch on to a woman in her prime?
01:36:45.000 Why not?
01:36:46.000 That seems the most logical thing possible.
01:36:47.000 That's what's happened for millennia.
01:36:49.000 For millennia.
01:36:50.000 Older men would marry like 15 year olds.
01:36:53.000 And the societal shame around dating a younger woman is just jealousy.
01:37:01.000 It's jealousy because, as you said, every man in the world wants to date a 22-year-old woman.
01:37:06.000 According to OkCupid data.
01:37:07.000 According to OkCupid, your own two eyes, all of history, every piece of literature, every book you ever saw.
01:37:13.000 But I'm citing this on purpose because it's not your opinion.
01:37:15.000 OkCupid actually tracked all the messages and they found no matter how old a guy was from even younger guys.
01:37:21.000 Always mentioning 22-year-olds.
01:37:21.000 Why do you think that is?
01:37:23.000 Why do you think that is?
01:37:23.000 For, I think, biological reasons.
01:37:26.000 Right, exactly right.
01:37:27.000 And what OkCupid found was that, very disgustingly in my opinion, men are actually attracted to women much, much,
01:37:33.000 much younger than that, but would not want to have a family with someone younger than that.
01:37:38.000 So men choose 22 as the equilibrium between mental and physical maturity.
01:37:42.000 Why is that disgusting? There's nothing wrong with little kids.
01:37:47.000 Of course, dude.
01:37:48.000 That's hyperbolic on my part.
01:37:50.000 But there's literally nothing wrong with seeing a woman of fertile age and thinking she is an attractive sexual partner.
01:37:57.000 But like acting on that with an 18 year old woman is a completely different story.
01:38:01.000 But there's nothing wrong with seeing an 18 year old girl woman and being like, Oh, she's attractive.
01:38:06.000 Of course she is!
01:38:07.000 She's in the prime of her beauty!
01:38:08.000 I'm not talking about 18.
01:38:10.000 OkCupidData said men want women younger than that.
01:38:13.000 And that I find creepy.
01:38:14.000 Yeah, it is.
01:38:15.000 Society has rules.
01:38:17.000 It is creepy today, but guess what?
01:38:18.000 It wasn't creepy until just recently.
01:38:22.000 I don't know.
01:38:23.000 All of humanity, all of history, all of time.
01:38:25.000 I still think it was creepy.
01:38:27.000 I think a lot of past cultures did a lot of really creepy, gross stuff.
01:38:31.000 Yeah, of course.
01:38:32.000 And of course, I'm not advocating for guys in their 30s dating anyone under 22.
01:38:37.000 But I think it's perfectly reasonable to have a relationship with a woman who's in her early 20s if you're in your 30s.
01:38:42.000 Well, that's absolutely reasonable.
01:38:44.000 Let's go to Super Chats.
01:38:45.000 And here we go.
01:38:46.000 We're going to have what we'll do a bonus segment.
01:38:48.000 Yeah, you're on for that, right?
01:38:49.000 Yeah, man, I'm on for it.
01:38:50.000 It won't be it won't be too long, though, but I'm up for it.
01:38:52.000 I got to go.
01:38:52.000 Plus, I got a guy home.
01:38:53.000 I got a 14 year old woman, a woman 14 years younger than me at home waiting for me.
01:39:02.000 Smash the like button, my friends, and check out TimCast.com because I think it's gonna get spicy.
01:39:07.000 Jack's gonna go off on this huge rant about manliness and stuff, so we'll carry that conversation over.
01:39:12.000 But subscribe, hit the notification bell, share this podcast if you really do like it because that's what helps podcasts grow.
01:39:18.000 I keep hearing it from all these, you know, bigwigs.
01:39:19.000 They're like, if you want to make your podcast big, people who listen to podcasts are the ones who tell people to listen to podcasts.
01:39:25.000 That's what you have to do.
01:39:26.000 And I'm like, okay, I guess that's the secret.
01:39:27.000 So if you want to help out.
01:39:29.000 Let's see what we got here.
01:39:32.000 LMV188 says, Love the show.
01:39:33.000 Do you think the Dems will evoke the 25th on Biden?
01:39:37.000 Or is it more likely he will die in office?
01:39:40.000 More like they evoke the 25th.
01:39:41.000 You think so?
01:39:42.000 I don't know if that they will, but I think it's more likely than him dying.
01:39:46.000 Yeah, maybe.
01:39:48.000 I think life expectancies tell us that Biden's going to die pretty soon.
01:39:52.000 Although, if you think about it, this study of all this life extension technology out of Harvard that they're working on, nicotinamide, mononucleotide, resveratrol, berberine, things like that.
01:40:03.000 Yeah, Aubrey de Grey, he said this like a decade ago.
01:40:07.000 That 10 years ago, he said, someone who's 45 today will live to be 1,000.
01:40:10.000 And it was also tying into what we were just talking about you, Jack.
01:40:13.000 I'm going to be 1,000?
01:40:14.000 No!
01:40:14.000 How old were you 10 years ago?
01:40:16.000 Oh, 35.
01:40:17.000 So I'm even better.
01:40:17.000 I'm golden.
01:40:18.000 And what he said was, he's one of the most prominent senescence researchers.
01:40:23.000 He said, it's not because we're going to invent immortality.
01:40:26.000 It's because the things that kill people are being cured.
01:40:29.000 People don't die of old age.
01:40:30.000 They die of renal failure or heart failure or something like that.
01:40:34.000 But as people are aging right now, medical technology is advancing faster than people are dying.
01:40:41.000 So that's what he said 10 years ago.
01:40:43.000 We'll see if he's proven right.
01:40:44.000 It's tying into the conversation we were just having about age, dating people, and fertility rates.
01:40:50.000 Because I think women will stay fertile much longer in this society.
01:40:54.000 And that 60, 70, 80-year-old women will be able to have babies.
01:40:57.000 I don't know about that.
01:40:58.000 Yeah, it looks like it.
01:40:59.000 That's what the data is tending towards.
01:41:00.000 Oh, wow.
01:41:01.000 All right, we gotta go in here.
01:41:01.000 Josh says, love the show, Tim.
01:41:03.000 Been listening to you for about a year.
01:41:04.000 Are you still interested?
01:41:06.000 Are you still taking guest recommendations?
01:41:07.000 No, we never take recommendations, mind you.
01:41:09.000 Would love to see Nicole Arbor on your show.
01:41:11.000 Smart lady and kick-ass comedy.
01:41:13.000 Bless!
01:41:15.000 That's actually gonna be happening.
01:41:16.000 Yes, it is!
01:41:17.000 At some point.
01:41:18.000 So, I think she's great.
01:41:19.000 I think she's hilarious.
01:41:20.000 She's great.
01:41:21.000 Yeah.
01:41:22.000 Let me know if you need a sit-in on that.
01:41:27.000 Quetra is having issues logging in.
01:41:29.000 If you're having issues, just email members at timcast.com, and we will help you get into the site.
01:41:35.000 And for any other email, there's info at timcast.com.
01:41:38.000 So yes.
01:41:39.000 Brendan says, get Tom McDonough on the podcast.
01:41:42.000 My friends, there are like 50 people that we've reached out to that are like, yes, we want to come on the show, and they're in Canada.
01:41:50.000 You can't do it.
01:41:51.000 Or they're concerned about the COVID.
01:41:53.000 Justin, well, I mean, that's mostly lefties, but Justin Trudeau in Canada, he's like, he's sitting there at the border.
01:42:00.000 He's like, you know, looking around waiting for any of these, any of these people to try and cross over to the States.
01:42:04.000 And then he runs over and he grabs them and then they lock them in a COVID hotel.
01:42:07.000 He wants to come on the show too.
01:42:08.000 We've been trying to get him on the show.
01:42:09.000 I would love that Trudeau on the show.
01:42:10.000 I mean, yeah, but that's never going to happen.
01:42:12.000 I want to see his socks.
01:42:13.000 Trudeau, let's have some legitimate questions thrown at you in a two-hour sit-down where you can't leave.
01:42:17.000 Like, why?
01:42:18.000 Talk about COVID, man.
01:42:19.000 For the first time in the guy's life, you'd have to tell the truth.
01:42:22.000 That'd be awesome.
01:42:22.000 You'd never do that.
01:42:23.000 People don't want to sit in the hot seat.
01:42:24.000 He's an entertainer, you might.
01:42:25.000 Oh, that's interesting.
01:42:28.000 Beautiful Bliss says, what's the counter argument for Democrats for declining birth rates?
01:42:32.000 I wonder.
01:42:33.000 Hi, Lydia.
01:42:35.000 I don't know.
01:42:36.000 Probably say it's a good thing.
01:42:39.000 All right, let's jump down.
01:42:40.000 What is this?
01:42:41.000 Rant-O-Matic says Trump to Biden voters.
01:42:43.000 Are you sorry yet?
01:42:48.000 Del Men says, Hello Beanie Compound!
01:42:50.000 Great news!
01:42:50.000 Minnesota government has rescinded their decision to spend taxpayer money on influencers for the Derek Chauvin trial.
01:42:57.000 What?
01:42:58.000 How nice of them!
01:42:58.000 Because Minnesota doesn't trust the government to do the right thing.
01:43:01.000 What does that mean?
01:43:01.000 Influencers?
01:43:02.000 Yeah, they were gonna pay influencers to, like, influence people about the Chauvin trial.
01:43:05.000 Whoa.
01:43:06.000 Whoa.
01:43:06.000 Yeah, you didn't... I didn't know that.
01:43:08.000 That's a story.
01:43:09.000 Yeah, that's creepy.
01:43:10.000 What?
01:43:11.000 I'm shocked you did not see that.
01:43:12.000 Northern Blue Collar says, hello from Maine.
01:43:14.000 Keep up the great reporting.
01:43:15.000 I love listening to y'all while I work.
01:43:18.000 And we love getting your money in Super Chats.
01:43:20.000 It makes it all worth it.
01:43:21.000 Thanks, man.
01:43:22.000 We got a new show coming.
01:43:25.000 I heard.
01:43:26.000 Cults, Crime, Mystery, Paranormal.
01:43:28.000 It's going to be more like a legit show.
01:43:28.000 I heard.
01:43:29.000 Like we'll do like 13 episodes.
01:43:31.000 We'll record them on the weekends and then we'll just like release them out.
01:43:33.000 So it'll be not the same as like a topical news show.
01:43:36.000 Evergreen.
01:43:37.000 Evergreen Entertainment.
01:43:39.000 Guests from cults and like Alien civilizations redux.
01:43:43.000 Yeah.
01:43:43.000 I'm hoping we can get like a legit murderer, like from prison.
01:43:47.000 No joke.
01:43:47.000 Like, yeah, that'd be awesome.
01:43:49.000 I will not be here that day.
01:43:50.000 Not in the, they're going to be in prison.
01:43:53.000 And so we'll record a conversation and we'll do... You're going to send Cassie in there.
01:43:57.000 I don't know, it's up to her.
01:43:59.000 But, uh, the paranormal stuff I'm really excited for, because I've wanted to do this for a while.
01:44:02.000 Yeah, dude.
01:44:02.000 I want to get, like, a legit researcher who's like, you know, I work at this university, we track this stuff, here's what we think.
01:44:07.000 And then, it's gonna be great, we're gonna do sound effects and creepy stuff.
01:44:10.000 Dude, the cult stuff is fascinating.
01:44:11.000 Just the mind of a cult member, or reformed cult member, I love that stuff.
01:44:16.000 Especially with the age of cult personality.
01:44:18.000 Well, there's also some people who deny they're in a cult.
01:44:23.000 There's like reports of like, here's a cult and the people are like, it's not a cult.
01:44:26.000 And so I'm really into having those conversations.
01:44:28.000 I mean, who gets to decide if it's a cult or not?
01:44:31.000 I don't know the size of the cult.
01:44:33.000 I don't know, man.
01:44:34.000 I mean, I've been watching.
01:44:36.000 So I watched the NXIVM series and I watched Wild Wild Country.
01:44:40.000 What's Wild Wild Country about?
01:44:41.000 Oh, that's about that Indian guy and his right hand woman who took over a town in Oregon or Washington.
01:44:49.000 Oh, that's right.
01:44:49.000 That's right.
01:44:50.000 That's right.
01:44:50.000 Yeah.
01:44:50.000 Yeah.
01:44:51.000 And you know, it's like, what's a cult?
01:44:53.000 Could they leave?
01:44:54.000 The NXIVM people couldn't leave.
01:44:56.000 They couldn't leave?
01:44:57.000 No, they couldn't leave because they gave up collateral on themselves, like pictures of them cheating on their husband or whatever.
01:45:03.000 Plus they got branded and all these things.
01:45:05.000 And then when they tried to leave, they wouldn't let them.
01:45:07.000 But the Wild Wild Country people, they said it was a cult, but like no one was forcing them to be.
01:45:11.000 But did you, did you see what Nikki Klein said?
01:45:13.000 I don't know who that is.
01:45:14.000 She was someone.
01:45:14.000 She was one of the members of the DOS.
01:45:17.000 They call it the DOS.
01:45:18.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:45:18.000 She's denied all of that.
01:45:19.000 She said it's not true.
01:45:20.000 She said the media was lying about everything.
01:45:21.000 It was sensational headlines.
01:45:23.000 I wouldn't be surprised.
01:45:24.000 I wouldn't be surprised.
01:45:25.000 I mean, I watched the NXIVM thing and it was about three episodes.
01:45:27.000 I'm not saying she's right.
01:45:28.000 I was about three episodes in and I was like, I haven't seen anything.
01:45:32.000 I haven't seen anything wrong here yet.
01:45:34.000 With NXIVM?
01:45:34.000 Yeah.
01:45:35.000 Oh, really?
01:45:36.000 Yeah.
01:45:36.000 I thought that was like a sex cult.
01:45:38.000 Well, that's how it was portrayed.
01:45:40.000 Well, so I'm saying the media has reported it as a cult.
01:45:43.000 Nikki Klein, who I actually have met, because I was at, I think I met her, I'm not sure where, I met some people from Nixxiom at CPAC.
01:45:51.000 And then I think they introduced me to Nikki Klein.
01:45:55.000 And this was back when I was in a really old podcast, and we were going to do a podcast.
01:45:58.000 We ended up not actually using it, because that's when the news was breaking about the cult and all that stuff.
01:46:02.000 So I wonder if we still have some of that stuff.
01:46:04.000 But I'd be interested in talking to her, like, you say it's not a cult.
01:46:11.000 I mean, what is a cult, though?
01:46:14.000 A cult is somebody looking in from the outside and not being able to understand the motivations of the people staying on the inside.
01:46:21.000 People call things a cult because they don't understand.
01:46:23.000 You can say Christianity is a cult.
01:46:26.000 People have said it.
01:46:26.000 That's why I said the size.
01:46:28.000 Well, let's read some more Super Chats, though.
01:46:29.000 Northern Blue Collar says, I love the debates you and Ian have.
01:46:32.000 Me too.
01:46:33.000 And then Brian says, free the code is the stupidest thing ever and only a vile socialist
01:46:37.000 who doesn't code would say something like that.
01:46:40.000 Something that ignorant, code is work.
01:46:41.000 I would say, to explain a little bit of that.
01:46:44.000 I don't want to free all the software code in the world.
01:46:46.000 I think that's it would be bad.
01:46:48.000 But when a when a social network, which is a unique business that we're now dealing with in life, reaches 100 million users a month or something, that it becomes part of the commons.
01:46:58.000 And then I believe we have the right as sovereign citizens to take control of that commons and protect the commons and do that by freeing that software code.
01:47:05.000 Alright, I gotta read this one.
01:47:06.000 Bobby Bob says, I want Jack to hold me lovingly, rub his beard on my face, and gently whisper freedom in my ear.
01:47:13.000 Pasta must be involved.
01:47:15.000 His choice.
01:47:18.000 And freedom in Fusilli.
01:47:20.000 Okay.
01:47:20.000 Okay.
01:47:20.000 Sounds good.
01:47:21.000 All right.
01:47:22.000 The Civic Nationalist says, the Pilgrims fled because Great Britain wasn't religious enough.
01:47:26.000 The U.S.
01:47:27.000 was made by terrorists and you still paid for the goods destroyed.
01:47:30.000 The U.S.
01:47:30.000 is a failed state.
01:47:32.000 There were more loyalists in the colonies.
01:47:34.000 Stop talking about this.
01:47:35.000 You are not able to.
01:47:35.000 God save the Queen.
01:47:38.000 So it's not true that there were more loyalists.
01:47:40.000 That's just British propaganda from British nationalists.
01:47:43.000 But it is true that it was only a plurality that wanted independence.
01:47:47.000 Yeah, it's true.
01:47:48.000 So, there was a vote.
01:47:50.000 Like, the sentiment among the colony was like, you know, 38% says independence, and then like, you know, 28% said loyalty, and the rest said, shut up and leave me alone.
01:48:00.000 And it was the shut up and leave me alone people that basically, you know, if any one of them were just like, okay, we'll stay with Great Britain, then we would have not have had independence.
01:48:09.000 It wouldn't have happened.
01:48:11.000 But they essentially abstained, so.
01:48:15.000 All right, let's see.
01:48:16.000 Would we have the Federal Reserve if we would have stayed with Great Britain?
01:48:20.000 Yeah, but it would have been called the Bank of England.
01:48:25.000 All right, let's see.
01:48:27.000 Snap Crackle Pop says, Tim, remember the reason the dollar menu is now called the value menu is because of inflation and Democrat politics.
01:48:34.000 Sparky the Pyro says, boy, am I glad.
01:48:37.000 I'm glad I know how to grow food and hunt with these food prices.
01:48:40.000 Need me some chickens and a couple of goats.
01:48:43.000 Well, we were considering goats, but they scream.
01:48:46.000 Yeah, they bleat.
01:48:47.000 They just yell.
01:48:50.000 And so nobody wants to wake up to screaming goats.
01:48:52.000 We're going to get chickens.
01:48:53.000 I want to get roosters.
01:48:55.000 Roosters scream too loud.
01:48:57.000 Like, you know what?
01:48:58.000 You know, I realized what are you going to do with a rooster, bro?
01:49:00.000 The roosters protect the chickens.
01:49:02.000 Oh, you let them walk around.
01:49:03.000 You got to have a chicken coop around here.
01:49:05.000 I have.
01:49:06.000 I bought a big, massive chicken.
01:49:08.000 You got predators.
01:49:09.000 What are you going to do with a rooster?
01:49:11.000 You need hens and broilers.
01:49:12.000 That's what you need.
01:49:14.000 So we bought a bunch of chicken coops.
01:49:15.000 Yeah.
01:49:16.000 We're going to get a bunch of chickens.
01:49:17.000 Do it.
01:49:17.000 And I was considering getting a bunch of roosters.
01:49:19.000 A bunch meaning like a couple because you need a lot of chickens.
01:49:21.000 The problem is they scream and we record in a studio here.
01:49:25.000 Oh, true.
01:49:26.000 Well, you know, in the morning it'd be like... Midway through every single one of my podcasts, which I do at 12 o'clock.
01:49:34.000 I'm doing one tomorrow and Thursday.
01:49:36.000 Yeah, but roosters yell randomly.
01:49:39.000 Yeah, they do.
01:49:39.000 barks. So around one 15th in every podcast, Rosie, Rosie barks and everybody laughs. And
01:49:46.000 then we just, and then we just move on. It's just part of the show. Yeah. But roosters
01:49:49.000 yell randomly and you were saying we don't need them. Well, if we take care of the chickens,
01:49:54.000 if we want, if we want babies, I guess.
01:49:56.000 Yeah, you could catch, yeah.
01:50:00.000 There's one place I go to where they have three, they're big, they're big roosters, and they keep predators away.
01:50:07.000 And so I was asking one of the guys there, I was like, the rooster's enough?
01:50:10.000 He's like, we have dogs too.
01:50:11.000 And I was like, there it is.
01:50:12.000 Roosters get mean.
01:50:14.000 Roosters will run after predators, and they also tell the chickens to go home when it gets dark.
01:50:18.000 So, but we'll probably just set up a big enclosure where it's like, we're gonna secure it so that predators can't get in or anything.
01:50:26.000 But if we have chickens, we can actually keep it in a secure area.
01:50:28.000 The problem was we have a really great place to put it, where it's surrounded on, you know, three sides, so there's no predator coming in, only from one direction.
01:50:36.000 And then we can actually secure that very well, and then have the coop inside it secured as well.
01:50:40.000 The problem is it's close to the house, so if we get roosters, You're going to hear the roosters everywhere.
01:50:46.000 So it's like, maybe we'll just get chickens.
01:50:48.000 Just get chickens.
01:50:48.000 We can always start with chickens.
01:50:49.000 I was thinking homesteading, man.
01:50:50.000 You have got eggs, goats and herbs.
01:50:53.000 That's easy, right?
01:50:54.000 It's like every morning you can wake up to like a goat cheese omelet with like herbs and stuff.
01:50:59.000 I used to milk them.
01:51:00.000 That doesn't sound like, that's not rough in it by any means.
01:51:03.000 That sounds amazing.
01:51:03.000 That sounds great.
01:51:05.000 I can go for a goat cheese omelet right now.
01:51:06.000 We gotta read some more, we gotta read some more.
01:51:08.000 So, ImageJpeg says, The only thing that can stop crypto is if governments go back to sound money.
01:51:14.000 Won't happen.
01:51:14.000 However, in my opinion, BTC is overvalued.
01:51:17.000 Check out CoinFairValue.
01:51:18.000 Satoshi's white paper was for eCash, not StoraValue.
01:51:22.000 That's fine, but it doesn't matter.
01:51:24.000 I hear a lot of people saying this.
01:51:25.000 They're like, oh, the original vision.
01:51:26.000 So they have Bitcoin Cash, where it's like, it's faster transactions, and it's worth a lot less, but you can trade it really quickly.
01:51:32.000 They all exist.
01:51:34.000 All these little cryptos exist where you can instantly trade value.
01:51:37.000 The Mines token, for instance, has value to some people, and the Library token or whatever.
01:51:41.000 Bitcoin has become a store of value.
01:51:43.000 That's it.
01:51:44.000 You can not like it, but that's what it's become.
01:51:47.000 I think the problem is...
01:51:49.000 Maybe Satoshi didn't realize governments were going to be dumping massive amounts of money into this.
01:51:54.000 And that means the demand is massive and the supply is literally diminishing.
01:52:00.000 It's so funny that the government says no one is allowed to mint a currency but us.
01:52:05.000 Couldn't stop it, so they're just letting it happen.
01:52:07.000 You can't stop it.
01:52:08.000 Letting it happen?
01:52:09.000 Aren't they the ones buying everything?
01:52:11.000 And then they're buying it.
01:52:12.000 Maybe M1.
01:52:14.000 All that, they're just buying up Bitcoin.
01:52:17.000 So maybe the whole, you can't print your own money supply thing should be tossed out the window.
01:52:20.000 I mean, it's being ignored.
01:52:22.000 So let's just say you can print your own money supply and change the constitution and let people make their own cryptos.
01:52:27.000 Right, we gotta read some more.
01:52:29.000 We got a good one here.
01:52:30.000 Joey says, I remember when the Whopper was $1.
01:52:32.000 How much is it nowadays?
01:52:34.000 God, it would be like six bucks.
01:52:36.000 It was a guess.
01:52:37.000 Fort Fort 14, maybe maybe 16 years ago.
01:52:41.000 There was a Burger King in my neighborhood and their sign was hard printed.
01:52:47.000 Ninety nine cent Whopper.
01:52:49.000 Hard, hard.
01:52:49.000 Like, it wasn't something they changed.
01:52:51.000 It was permanently there.
01:52:52.000 And then I remember when they finally broke it.
01:52:56.000 Yeah, because it was not a banner.
01:52:58.000 It was like, the sign itself said Burger King, and then under it, it said the 99-cent Whopper.
01:53:02.000 And then eventually when they're like, that's too expensive, it just, it broke the sign.
01:53:06.000 I lived, I lived in Southside, man.
01:53:07.000 It wasn't like a, you know, good place.
01:53:08.000 They're just like, get the hammer!
01:53:10.000 Or someone broke it.
01:53:11.000 I don't know.
01:53:12.000 Maybe someone shot it.
01:53:12.000 Last time I bought a Whopper is $2.29 maybe?
01:53:15.000 They cost $4.19 now.
01:53:15.000 Yuck. $4.19.
01:53:18.000 Matthew Stockhausen says technically any state can leave the Union if they want to fight the USA for freedom.
01:53:23.000 That's a good point!
01:53:24.000 Yeah, re-Texas, I don't think it's a good idea.
01:53:27.000 Whatever they talk about secession, like you'll have a blockade in the Gulf of Mexico, all that oil, the Fed's not gonna give up that oil.
01:53:33.000 You know, federal government, I should say.
01:53:36.000 Do you think there's the stomach by the other 49 states in the union to actually say, Oh, Texas is seated.
01:53:44.000 Other 49 states are going to be like, invade them.
01:53:47.000 Nope.
01:53:48.000 Oh, that era has changed, man.
01:53:49.000 Look at Scotland voting for independence.
01:53:51.000 Like Scotland was essentially conquered.
01:53:53.000 Wasn't it?
01:53:54.000 I don't know anything about Great Britain. I'm going to trigger all the British people. They're going to be like,
01:54:14.000 no, you know, nothing. And it's like, okay, fine, whatever.
01:54:14.000 But we're at a point now where it's like, I guess Catalonia, they keep trying to leave Spain. And then the federal
01:54:14.000 police come in and just start beating people mercilessly.
01:54:14.000 So there you go. I don't think people would go for that.
01:54:14.000 Yeah, I know.
01:54:14.000 It's like the federal cops are not the people.
01:54:18.000 That's why we're talking about the NSA and Homeland Security and the FBI.
01:54:22.000 That's a lot of militant force that the federal government has.
01:54:25.000 We'll keep going through these Super Chats.
01:54:26.000 C. Hennessy says, Best analogy for America is a skyscraper, and each floor is a year of America.
01:54:31.000 The Founding Fathers laid the foundation, and now the people on the 244th floor wants to take out the foundation that the whole 244th floor sits on.
01:54:39.000 Indeed.
01:54:40.000 Interesting.
01:54:41.000 Katie says, have to sit with an assignment for six hours, forced to write about Black Lives Matter and white supremacy.
01:54:48.000 I have to pass it to graduate this summer.
01:54:50.000 So I would like to know if I only pass, if I only pass, if I go full leftist.
01:54:54.000 Sounds like it.
01:54:55.000 Wow.
01:54:56.000 Look, it's a time, it's a time honored tradition to write whatever it is that you think your professors want you to write in order to get an A and not believe a single word of it.
01:55:05.000 So just do what everybody's always done in college.
01:55:07.000 Or you could write what you truly believe and frame it and throw the finger up.
01:55:10.000 Here's a good super chat from Welder.
01:55:12.000 He says, Tim, no income tax, no progressive tax, only a sales tax.
01:55:16.000 The more you buy, the more you pay.
01:55:17.000 The rich that buy more will pay more, and the poor can save.
01:55:21.000 That's an interesting idea.
01:55:22.000 I've heard that before.
01:55:23.000 Maybe you just do a really high sales tax, like relative to where it is now, like increase it, so that it offsets everything, and then whoever consumes the most, that would actually be a good green solution, right, to all of these lefties who want, you know, to fight climate change and stuff.
01:55:36.000 Because then you're basically saying, by all means, buy whatever you want, but there's a lot of taxes attached to those purchases.
01:55:41.000 Value-added taxes are regressive.
01:55:44.000 Yeah?
01:55:44.000 Yeah, they're regressive.
01:55:45.000 In some places, they have a 19% VAT.
01:55:47.000 It means if you spend $1, it's 19 cents.
01:55:48.000 It's a lot.
01:55:53.000 But if there's no income tax.
01:55:54.000 No, I understand.
01:55:58.000 I'm pretty sure VAT is just known to be regressive because it does not increase percentage-wise for rich people.
01:56:06.000 The poor people are paying the same taxes, so it's regressive.
01:56:09.000 But if rich people are buying tons of stuff like crazy, then they end up spending way more in taxes.
01:56:14.000 Yeah.
01:56:14.000 I mean, sitting in Luke's seat right now, I can think to myself, hey, I prefer when the government doesn't tax anything for anybody.
01:56:21.000 The value added tax is interesting.
01:56:23.000 That's what Andrew Yang wanted to use to pay for basic income.
01:56:27.000 And a friend of mine, Aaron, was explaining that The supply chain would be taxed at every point.
01:56:33.000 So the people that grow the rice sell it to the manufacturers, there's a tax on it.
01:56:37.000 And then that's the value, that's a value added tax on that.
01:56:39.000 Then the manufacturer sells it to the store, there's a value added tax on that.
01:56:43.000 The store brings it to the person, there's a value added tax put on that.
01:56:45.000 And then what it would do is cause a markup in the price of the product to cover the tax.
01:56:51.000 Embedded taxes along the chain.
01:56:53.000 Right.
01:56:54.000 All right.
01:56:55.000 This one's for you, Jack.
01:56:55.000 Benjamin Haver says, I am 38 and have no family.
01:56:58.000 Both of my own and older, uh, both of my own and older than me.
01:57:01.000 It's been a hard road.
01:57:02.000 Also, I'm a huge fan of y'all's work.
01:57:04.000 Much respect.
01:57:05.000 No family.
01:57:07.000 Yes.
01:57:07.000 Just super chat.
01:57:08.000 Thank you.
01:57:09.000 Thanks for watching the show.
01:57:10.000 Appreciate it.
01:57:11.000 William Kelly says, hey Tim, how dare you for being exactly 10 days older than me and share my twin's name?
01:57:17.000 Then again, my twin is my political polar opposite.
01:57:19.000 Oh really?
01:57:20.000 Like a left, like you have a twin?
01:57:21.000 And then one's left wing and one's right wing or something?
01:57:23.000 It's hard to sing.
01:57:24.000 It's a confluence of worlds right there.
01:57:26.000 My birthday is March 9th.
01:57:28.000 It is coming up very soon.
01:57:29.000 Happy birthday.
01:57:29.000 About six days.
01:57:31.000 And I will be 35 years old.
01:57:31.000 Big year.
01:57:34.000 Ryan Law says, wondering if you guys heard about how the National Guard troops at the Capitol are being treated.
01:57:38.000 They're getting sick from raw and molded food.
01:57:40.000 I DM'd the story to your Instagram, Tim.
01:57:43.000 Uh, I did, and metal shavings.
01:57:45.000 Metal shavings.
01:57:45.000 I saw that.
01:57:46.000 Is that, that's legit?
01:57:47.000 It's probably from the cans, when they're like making potatoes, and they're scraping it, and the bits.
01:57:52.000 Oh no.
01:57:52.000 Yup, yup, yup.
01:57:54.000 And, now when I heard about the raw beef, I was kinda like, Is that so bad?
01:57:59.000 I like my steaks rare.
01:58:00.000 I guess if you're getting garbage freezer food, though, and you don't know where it's been, you probably want it to be cooked.
01:58:05.000 It's probably not steak tartare.
01:58:06.000 The raw chicken, though.
01:58:08.000 Yeah, that's like, dude, they are mistreating these guys.
01:58:11.000 It is such... They feed them raw chicken?
01:58:13.000 That's why I'm saying it feels like everything's falling apart.
01:58:15.000 When our National Guard is supposed to be defending the capital, and we can't even feed them properly?
01:58:19.000 Yeah, you gotta defend the National Guard before you use them to defend the capital.
01:58:22.000 You ever think about how these massive armies, like the Crusades, They have to have food, man.
01:58:28.000 Armies march on their bellies.
01:58:30.000 Yup.
01:58:30.000 They have a huge baggage trans with their families.
01:58:34.000 So now you have one of the wealthiest countries, if not the wealthiest country on the planet right now, can't get food to our own National Guard?
01:58:43.000 In the capital.
01:58:44.000 In the capital!
01:58:44.000 It's not that they can't, it's that they won't.
01:58:48.000 That's the case still.
01:58:49.000 The K is the K. All right.
01:58:50.000 But there's a big difference between somehow we just can't and we have all the resources in the world.
01:58:57.000 Money printer go brr.
01:58:58.000 We can't.
01:58:59.000 We won't.
01:59:00.000 Why do you think?
01:59:00.000 What do you mean they won't?
01:59:01.000 Like, what are they not doing?
01:59:02.000 What is a limiting factor from them buying high quality food?
01:59:06.000 Choice.
01:59:06.000 Choice.
01:59:07.000 It's a choice.
01:59:08.000 Yeah.
01:59:08.000 Same with hospitals.
01:59:09.000 I feel like hospitals should have healthy food.
01:59:11.000 Institutionalized food delivery is tough.
01:59:15.000 Um, schools, hospitals, and the military are suffering from a lack of nutrition.
01:59:20.000 That's a big problem.
01:59:22.000 That's another part of why government is kind of an issue.
01:59:27.000 I'm just saying, if we can't feed our own... It's a bit of an issue.
01:59:31.000 I could go into it.
01:59:33.000 All right, we got to read this one.
01:59:35.000 Mesa's own one, Mesa's one.
01:59:38.000 I don't know why people are so mad at Cuomo for the nursing home stuff.
01:59:41.000 He was just trying out a bold new strategy to solving the looming social society crisis.
01:59:46.000 Yeah, too many old people.
01:59:47.000 Then we won't have to bring in more immigrants and we can solve the fertility issue, the entitlement issue, the great pyramid scheme that is America, by the way.
01:59:58.000 We could solve that problem just by killing all the old people.
02:00:00.000 This is a joke, obviously, YouTube overlords.
02:00:03.000 This is important.
02:00:04.000 Oh boy.
02:00:05.000 Alex Ryan says, Tim, get a donkey.
02:00:06.000 A donkey will act as a guard for your chickens.
02:00:09.000 They're brutal to predators.
02:00:10.000 It's an awesome sight to watch a donkey stomp a coyote.
02:00:14.000 I've heard that.
02:00:14.000 Wow.
02:00:15.000 They'll just, like, get away from the chickens.
02:00:18.000 The chickens are my friends.
02:00:19.000 Wow.
02:00:20.000 Donkeys.
02:00:20.000 I hear donkeys are awesome.
02:00:21.000 They're great.
02:00:22.000 Way better than horses.
02:00:23.000 What are they, bray?
02:00:24.000 Is that the noise they make?
02:00:25.000 Yeah.
02:00:25.000 Eeyaw?
02:00:26.000 Yep, that's called...
02:00:29.000 Goatman Jack says, don't you judge my people's music.
02:00:34.000 Yeah.
02:00:34.000 So when I, when I lived in Miami with Adam, the neighbors had a goat and just a goat would yell all the time.
02:00:42.000 So it's not enjoyable when you're trying to sleep and it's like 7am in here.
02:00:48.000 Bleat on.
02:00:50.000 Bleat on.
02:00:50.000 Bleater.
02:00:54.000 Catoriously Wise says, Tim, I've been in the beanie cult for about nine months now, but I never got my new follower beanie.
02:01:00.000 Who do I contact?
02:01:01.000 We don't have beanies, do we?
02:01:02.000 We actually reached out to a bunch of companies to make these kinds of beanies.
02:01:06.000 And it's hard because it's dual colors.
02:01:08.000 So you need like a good factory, but everything was shut down for COVID.
02:01:11.000 Hey, as an aside, I wore the I'm a Gorilla t-shirt yesterday, and it is really comfortable.
02:01:16.000 It's comfortable, right?
02:01:16.000 Good shirts, huh?
02:01:17.000 That's great.
02:01:18.000 I was wearing it earlier today.
02:01:18.000 I'm surprised Teespring doesn't do beanies.
02:01:20.000 Maybe we should.
02:01:20.000 Maybe they could.
02:01:21.000 They do, but they're always these just, like, acrylic embroidered, not...
02:01:27.000 Jay Rich says one of the biggest contributors to the declining birth rate is third wave feminism and the rise of gynocentric society centered around berating masculinity and browbeating men for being men.
02:01:39.000 See, there you go.
02:01:40.000 Jay Rich says, One of the biggest contributors to the declining birth rate
02:01:44.000 is third wave feminism and the rise of gynocentric society centered around berating masculinity and browbeating men
02:01:50.000 for being men.
02:01:51.000 Make females women again.
02:01:52.000 Yep.
02:01:53.000 So third wave feminism is the...
02:01:54.000 This is the distortion of feminism over the last 20 or 30 years.
02:01:58.000 Yeah, it's the step beyond, like, maybe they should vote.
02:02:01.000 Yeah.
02:02:02.000 Maybe we're all equal.
02:02:03.000 Yeah.
02:02:03.000 It's the step beyond that.
02:02:04.000 It's the step beyond that.
02:02:05.000 It is.
02:02:05.000 It really is.
02:02:06.000 Mark Roberts says, Tim, I truly appreciate your cast and everyone's viewpoint.
02:02:09.000 Thanks so much for your work.
02:02:10.000 Best to everyone.
02:02:11.000 Hey, appreciate it.
02:02:11.000 That was a great one.
02:02:12.000 Thank you.
02:02:14.000 Christopher Blummer says, for Jack Murphy.
02:02:17.000 Yes, sir.
02:02:17.000 Do you think Keanu Reeves is a MGTOW?
02:02:21.000 MGTOW, it means men going their own way.
02:02:23.000 I couldn't tell you.
02:02:23.000 I have no idea.
02:02:24.000 Is he single?
02:02:25.000 Have you seen him?
02:02:26.000 I thought he was married to some older lady.
02:02:28.000 No, he's single.
02:02:29.000 I thought he was married to like a 55 year old woman.
02:02:31.000 Yeah, he was.
02:02:32.000 Silver hair.
02:02:33.000 Yeah, he was.
02:02:34.000 And all the photos of him with women, his hands, he's doing hover hands.
02:02:37.000 Yeah, he's legit.
02:02:38.000 That one I think was not, I think that was legit, like the Me Too thing was at its peak.
02:02:43.000 And then all these photos started emerging of Keanu Reeves and his hands were never on women.
02:02:47.000 And I'm like, dude, he's playing it safe.
02:02:49.000 I'm pretty sure he's dating an older woman who doesn't dye her hair.
02:02:52.000 And there was like a whole thing about it.
02:02:54.000 I remember even tweeting about it.
02:02:55.000 Now that I think about it, I have no idea if he's a MGTOW.
02:02:58.000 I don't, I don't recommend that by the way.
02:03:00.000 Don't go your own way, man.
02:03:01.000 Become a better man.
02:03:02.000 All right.
02:03:03.000 Find a woman, have a family, be a rebel.
02:03:06.000 A.I.
02:03:06.000 or Al, whichever one, says, Tim, you seriously need to do a discussion on the mouse utopia experiment.
02:03:12.000 It nearly perfectly mirrors the modern-day problems.
02:03:15.000 Also, promiscuity is killing the long-term dating world.
02:03:18.000 Look up retroactive jealousy.
02:03:20.000 Oh, interesting.
02:03:20.000 Yeah, I think I've heard about that.
02:03:22.000 The mouse utopia experiment, I think I've read about that.
02:03:24.000 Was that where, like, they gave the mice everything they could ever want, and then they ended up just getting, like, fat-lazy, and then not reproducing, and then just slowly dying off?
02:03:33.000 Oh.
02:03:34.000 Yeah, something like that.
02:03:34.000 Look, the fertility issue is something that we should have actually a deeper discussion on because it's not just the United States.
02:03:41.000 It's Europe as well.
02:03:41.000 It's everywhere with advanced technology.
02:03:44.000 I think that this is the precursor to some transhumanist kind of thing happening in society.
02:03:49.000 Like as an entity in a whole, we might have some expectation of a huge change.
02:03:55.000 Genderless evolution and babies born in test tubes.
02:04:00.000 Kathy's, uh, smacking you down.
02:04:02.000 Smack, smack down from Kathy.
02:04:03.000 Kathy, what's up?
02:04:04.000 Kathy Mack says, what is wrong with you people?
02:04:06.000 What a sad generation.
02:04:08.000 You pick a spouse by finding someone that enjoys the same things.
02:04:11.000 I made twice as much as my husband, but it was all our money.
02:04:14.000 Also, we have been married 41 years.
02:04:17.000 Good for you.
02:04:18.000 Good for you.
02:04:18.000 Congratulations.
02:04:21.000 I agree with that, man.
02:04:22.000 I don't think that, personally, I might be different than most, but I don't think the money... I guess I understand what you're saying about power and drive, because I am attracted to women that are driven to create and do something.
02:04:31.000 That's important, yeah.
02:04:32.000 Look, getting married because you like the person?
02:04:35.000 This is a new thing.
02:04:37.000 This is a new thing.
02:04:37.000 This has never been the case.
02:04:38.000 Romantic love is a new thing.
02:04:40.000 It's a modern creation.
02:04:42.000 It is.
02:04:42.000 Yeah, it is.
02:04:43.000 It's incredible.
02:04:44.000 Yeah, it used to be like arranged marriages and dowries and all that stuff.
02:04:47.000 And it was like that the dad would basically sell off the daughter in a manner of speaking.
02:04:52.000 I have the dowry and then there would be a good man.
02:04:54.000 And then the dad would be like, I approve of this man.
02:04:55.000 The opposite of selling.
02:04:58.000 Yeah, right.
02:04:59.000 The dad's giving the dowry.
02:05:00.000 Oh, right, right, right, right.
02:05:01.000 Yeah, it's weird.
02:05:02.000 It's weird.
02:05:02.000 Like the eligible men were.
02:05:04.000 Yeah, they receive you get a woman and a bunch of money.
02:05:08.000 Right, right, right.
02:05:09.000 Pretty good deal.
02:05:10.000 That's called the patriarchy.
02:05:11.000 Yeah, there you go.
02:05:12.000 Patriarchy.
02:05:13.000 Yeah, works great.
02:05:14.000 I called.
02:05:15.000 And a stack of cash.
02:05:16.000 So I had a friend and I jokingly called her a spinster and she got really offended.
02:05:21.000 And I was like, why are you offended by that?
02:05:22.000 And she was like, don't call me a spinster.
02:05:25.000 And I was like, I thought that was like a, like a funny thing nowadays.
02:05:28.000 It's like, it used to be an insult back then.
02:05:30.000 You know what I mean?
02:05:30.000 What is it?
02:05:31.000 Someone that spins hay?
02:05:32.000 So it was typically the women who were spinning, what was it?
02:05:35.000 Cotton?
02:05:35.000 Cotton.
02:05:35.000 That's not hay.
02:05:36.000 It was because they weren't, they were working.
02:05:38.000 They were working women.
02:05:38.000 So they were called spinsters.
02:05:39.000 And then spinster became a term for a woman who wasn't married and didn't have kids.
02:05:43.000 Who was working.
02:05:44.000 Right.
02:05:44.000 Cause you had to spend the rest of her life spinning up yarn.
02:05:47.000 Yeah, but like nowadays it's like tongue in cheek.
02:05:51.000 It was like.
02:05:52.000 I think Spinster insinuates that a woman is barren.
02:05:56.000 Yeah.
02:05:56.000 Really?
02:05:57.000 And a woman that doesn't have any, barren societally like this with no husband, no family, no anything.
02:06:03.000 I'm sorry.
02:06:03.000 Why would you be mad at me for that?
02:06:04.000 If you're like a high powered working woman?
02:06:06.000 Because it triggers the evolutionary brain that can't be turned off.
02:06:10.000 It's also how like the left tries calling men incels because they're trying to go after masculinity.
02:06:17.000 It's a weird thing to do because it's like, It's just like, I don't know, it's antithetical to what they claim to support.
02:06:24.000 Of course it is.
02:06:26.000 Dude, I just had a huge long thread this weekend on progressive alpha males and how they don't exist by definition.
02:06:31.000 We should say that for the... For after?
02:06:33.000 Yeah, we'll go ham on all that stuff.
02:06:35.000 Dude, that was a good one.
02:06:37.000 Let's be fun.
02:06:37.000 That was huge.
02:06:38.000 Travis Sharon says donkeys scream.
02:06:40.000 I stayed at Lake Pleasant, Arizona last weekend.
02:06:42.000 Loud!
02:06:42.000 Okay.
02:06:43.000 You convinced me.
02:06:44.000 Hexperimental says don't buy a donkey.
02:06:46.000 The donkey will mind control you.
02:06:48.000 Then it will make you join and completely support the democratic establishment.
02:06:51.000 Oh my gosh.
02:06:51.000 He's right.
02:06:52.000 Get an elephant instead!
02:06:54.000 There you go!
02:06:55.000 Perfect!
02:06:56.000 Then a tiger.
02:06:57.000 Yes.
02:06:58.000 We'll call it Never Neverland.
02:07:00.000 Oh gosh, let's not.
02:07:01.000 That's a good point.
02:07:01.000 Ben Clark says Washington state is sales tax only, no income tax.
02:07:05.000 Bad idea.
02:07:06.000 Poor can't save.
02:07:08.000 They actually pay a higher percent in taxes just buying necessities.
02:07:14.000 Steve Salina says Tim, my birthday is March 9th.
02:07:16.000 Gonna be 27.
02:07:17.000 Love your show, bro.
02:07:18.000 And I'm glad I share my B-day with such an awesome guy.
02:07:20.000 Love you guys.
02:07:21.000 You know what's crazy?
02:07:23.000 Adam's birthday is right before mine as well.
02:07:24.000 Yeah.
02:07:25.000 What is it?
02:07:25.000 March 7th?
02:07:25.000 Yeah.
02:07:26.000 It's awesome.
02:07:27.000 It's crazy, bro.
02:07:28.000 It's a good year for birthdays.
02:07:29.000 There's another person who has a birthday two days after mine, but I don't know if their birthday is public, so I won't say, but we're gonna have a big party.
02:07:36.000 It's gonna be great.
02:07:36.000 Oh, nice.
02:07:37.000 Maybe we'll do a show or something.
02:07:38.000 Really big party.
02:07:39.000 My invitation must have got lost in the mail.
02:07:41.000 Yeah, it sure did.
02:07:42.000 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:07:42.000 Where's the e-light?
02:07:43.000 Come on, man.
02:07:43.000 Here's some alcohol pads.
02:07:44.000 We come on man some alcohol pads Ink spot says get out of the cities is all building to the
02:07:50.000 next world war the next the new world order and the culling Through war famine and unspeakable strife. Mm-hmm. Well, I
02:07:56.000 don't know about all that, but I do think you will be ever so happy with chickens
02:08:01.000 Dude, I gotta tell you man I had chickens in Miami.
02:08:06.000 They're hilarious.
02:08:06.000 They're like dinosaurs.
02:08:07.000 They're just funny.
02:08:09.000 It's like watching them do their thing.
02:08:10.000 They're just hilarious.
02:08:10.000 They're so dumb.
02:08:11.000 If you fell in a pit of chickens and passed out, would they eat you?
02:08:14.000 Yeah, probably.
02:08:15.000 Yeah.
02:08:16.000 They eat animals like they're carnivores.
02:08:19.000 Yeah, they eat mice.
02:08:20.000 When you ask someone what do chickens eat, what do you think they're gonna tell you?
02:08:22.000 They eat grubs.
02:08:23.000 Worms.
02:08:24.000 Bugs.
02:08:25.000 And they eat grass.
02:08:26.000 Grass.
02:08:26.000 They eat grass.
02:08:27.000 Yep.
02:08:28.000 And they mutilated my lawn.
02:08:29.000 Yeah, they tear up your lawn.
02:08:30.000 So you move them around.
02:08:31.000 Yeah.
02:08:31.000 Well, you just, you give them a big enough space to where they don't destroy the whole lawn, but they were just annihilating it.
02:08:37.000 But the problem was the rooster we had was really dumb and kind of a loser and he would run away and not protect the chickens.
02:08:43.000 So we were like, what are you doing?
02:08:44.000 So we called him, um, we called him Norrin.
02:08:49.000 Norrin the wary?
02:08:50.000 Yes.
02:08:51.000 It's a Magic the Gathering creature.
02:08:52.000 There's a, there's a, there's a card in Magic the Gathering called Norrin the wary.
02:08:54.000 It's terrible.
02:08:55.000 No, it's amazing.
02:08:56.000 It's a brilliant card, but he's the character, the character is like mortified and always running away.
02:09:00.000 That's the point.
02:09:01.000 See, even a male chicken that can't provide or protect is worthless.
02:09:07.000 Good point.
02:09:08.000 Evolution has spoken.
02:09:09.000 I would have chopped this up.
02:09:10.000 You know what he would do?
02:09:10.000 You know what's really funny?
02:09:12.000 He would jump over the fence because he kept... Oh, this is hilarious.
02:09:16.000 We didn't have enough chickens.
02:09:17.000 And we didn't realize this.
02:09:18.000 And he kept banging them like crazy.
02:09:20.000 And then he would jump over the fence.
02:09:22.000 People don't realize how high they can, they can, they can like, they can do big jumps.
02:09:26.000 Yeah, they can almost fly.
02:09:27.000 They can't really fly.
02:09:28.000 They can jump really high and then they like come down.
02:09:30.000 So he jumped over like, I think it was like a six and a half, seven foot fence.
02:09:34.000 And we can't get over it to get him.
02:09:36.000 And he jumps over because he can hear all the hot chicken ladies, you know?
02:09:39.000 So he's like, I'm a rooster and I can hear these chickens.
02:09:43.000 And he jumps over.
02:09:44.000 Here's the problem.
02:09:45.000 Those chickens had roosters.
02:09:47.000 And the roosters over there were massive, big old roosters.
02:09:50.000 And they basically said GTFO, but he wasn't smart enough to jump back over.
02:09:55.000 So he would just get stuck in the corner.
02:09:56.000 And then we have to go to the neighbors and they would come over and pick him up and throw him over.
02:09:59.000 And I'll tell you the funniest thing ever.
02:10:01.000 He got trapped over there for like a day or two.
02:10:03.000 And then the chickens we had were just doing their chicken business.
02:10:07.000 And so we're trying to figure out what happened to him.
02:10:09.000 He's gone.
02:10:10.000 And that was the first time we realized he was jumping the fence.
02:10:12.000 And so we asked the neighbors.
02:10:13.000 The neighbors were like, oh, is that your rooster?
02:10:15.000 We were wondering where this thing came from.
02:10:17.000 So they don't throw him over the fence.
02:10:20.000 They drop him over the fence.
02:10:21.000 And then as soon as he lands, we're standing there and we watch him just run full speed and then jump on the chicken and start banging the chicken.
02:10:28.000 We all just bust out laughing.
02:10:30.000 What is it like when chickens bang?
02:10:31.000 They're like birds.
02:10:32.000 Do they scream in pain?
02:10:32.000 on their back and then digs his feet and rips their back open.
02:10:35.000 Do they scream in pain?
02:10:36.000 No.
02:10:36.000 That's how cats do it.
02:10:37.000 It's real quick.
02:10:38.000 You'll see that woman cat just tearing it up, screaming.
02:10:42.000 Have you ever seen that?
02:10:43.000 All right, all right.
02:10:43.000 Let's uh, we'll do uh, we'll do one more here.
02:10:46.000 Uh, Sam Bada says, Tim, get Rolo Tomasi on the show.
02:10:50.000 Jack's just paraphrasing Rolo's book, The Rational Male.
02:10:54.000 Rolo has been the authority on intersexual dynamics for 20 years now.
02:10:57.000 Whatever.
02:10:58.000 So we should have you and Jack.
02:10:59.000 Whatever.
02:10:59.000 I've known Rolo for 10 years.
02:11:01.000 I've known Rolo before he ever wrote a book.
02:11:03.000 So you're saying he should come on with you?
02:11:06.000 Rolo and his whole crew blocked me a year ago.
02:11:10.000 Mad jelly.
02:11:11.000 Mad jelly.
02:11:14.000 We're reigniting the beef.
02:11:15.000 What is this premise?
02:11:17.000 Rolo and I came up in the same place.
02:11:19.000 Rolo, they call him the king of the Manosphere and I'll give him credit.
02:11:22.000 He did write a lot of things down.
02:11:24.000 But man, Rolo and me and a handful of other guys, Mike, who was even in here the other day, we all co-evolved that whole scene.
02:11:32.000 We co-evolved the whole scene.
02:11:33.000 I've been talking about this stuff for 10 years.
02:11:35.000 Same as Rolo.
02:11:36.000 That would be really funny.
02:11:37.000 That would be really funny.
02:11:38.000 Hey, baby.
