Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden Vows TO DO NOTHING, CHANGE NOTHING, Then Run Again In 2024 w-Milo Yiannopoulos

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:32.000 you Yesterday was absolutely crazy.

00:00:39.000 We did like a five hour long show.

00:00:42.000 It was a whole lot of fun.

00:00:43.000 And in the end, the Republicans did fairly well.

00:00:46.000 If you were tracking the projections a month or two before all this went down, then you're not surprised by the results.

00:00:53.000 If you were tracking the projections only in the week or two before, you probably thought they were gonna do way, way, way better.

00:00:58.000 And, you know, look, I'll say, everybody wants to yell and scream Red Wave because they want to boost Muriel and get everyone to go and vote.

00:01:04.000 But this is why I was saying things like, don't... don't think you're gonna win.

00:01:09.000 You need to go out and vote no matter what the polls say.

00:01:11.000 But in the end, it's, uh, it's within the parameters of what even FiveThirtyEight's projections were up until, like, two weeks ago when these debates started happening.

00:01:17.000 So, right now, I think we're looking at potentially 224 seats for the Republicans in the House.

00:01:22.000 We're looking at potentially 51 seats, maybe, with the runoff.

00:01:25.000 We'll see.

00:01:26.000 Looks like Nevada might flip. 1.00

00:01:28.000 There's a few congressional districts we're still looking at, potentially, that are about to flip.

00:01:32.000 It looks like, in Maryland, we may actually see one district flip.

00:01:36.000 And then, what do you expect?

00:01:37.000 I mean, Republicans take the House in the midterm.

00:01:40.000 They can launch investigations.

00:01:41.000 They were never gonna pass laws.

00:01:42.000 We'll see.

00:01:43.000 But Joe Biden gave a speech!

00:01:45.000 Joe Biden came out and said, I will do nothing.

00:01:48.000 I will change nothing.

00:01:51.000 Everything that's going as bad as it is will continue.

00:01:55.000 Thanks mostly because, well, not a lot could have changed, but because Democratic voters, they wanted it.

00:02:02.000 In places like New York, California, this is the thing that they want.

00:02:06.000 I mean, I can't blame them.

00:02:07.000 They live there.

00:02:07.000 They want it.

00:02:08.000 By all means, you can have it.

00:02:09.000 So we'll talk about that and so much more.

00:02:12.000 We have a lot of election stuff to go through.

00:02:14.000 DeSantis with his double-digit lead, winning in Florida.

00:02:18.000 Now people are suggesting that he's the frontrunner for 2024 and for the whole presidency, in fact.

00:02:23.000 And this story that I just love.

00:02:25.000 Democrats voted in a dead guy.

00:02:27.000 Because they went in and they voted Democrat, and the guy was dead.

00:02:31.000 And I feel bad, you know, my condolences to his family or anything, you know, but they voted for a dead guy.

00:02:35.000 So, uh, we'll talk about that.

00:02:36.000 Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com.

00:03:21.000 So there you can see the image of me scowling at Rachel Maddow.

00:03:24.000 I love the video.

00:03:24.000 It's good fun.

00:03:25.000 See?

00:03:25.000 There you go.

00:03:26.000 Joining us to talk about this and so much more, you heard him laugh, it's Mr. Milo Yiannopoulos.

00:03:32.000 I've never been more petrified.

00:03:36.000 I've been interviewed by very aggressive, intelligent and hostile people and you're of course a sweetheart.

00:03:44.000 But I was just introduced, I have a greater understanding of the restrictions under which you operate now and I was sort of mentally checking off as we talked about the things that I probably shouldn't say.

00:03:55.000 I was just sort of mentally checking off, you know, like, oh, okay, that's, yeah.

00:03:59.000 So I don't really have any ways to communicate that don't aggressively violate the rules of YouTube and whatever, but I've got post-its.

00:04:11.000 I've made post-its of the most egregious offenses.

00:04:14.000 And, you know, with every good intention in the world, I'm going to do the best I can to be socially acceptable for you.

00:04:19.000 But I want everybody hearing to realize that we're going to do the Members Only Uncensored show, and then, you know, we'll show the post-its and people can... By the time that rolls around, I'm going to be so desperate to swear.

00:04:30.000 It's going to be very undignified.

00:04:32.000 Like, you know, the reason we don't like swearing is because people watch if their kids are in the room or they're listening in the car and they're driving their kids.

00:04:38.000 If you swear, we just, you know, it is what it is.

00:04:40.000 A ghastly childhood to be subjected to political commentary.

00:04:44.000 It could only happen in the third world country. 0.98

00:04:48.000 Civilized people are not so obsessed with politics.

00:04:50.000 Milo, we have a lot to talk about, like with you and everything that you've done and been going through and what you're willing to talk about.

00:04:56.000 Is that a form of child abuse?

00:04:59.000 No, look, I'm going to do the best I can to stay within the lines that are terrifying me.

00:05:04.000 But yeah, I don't think I've done an interview for nearly half a decade.

00:05:09.000 Wow.

00:05:10.000 Because I just realized that I didn't trust myself to color within the lines.

00:05:14.000 Well, we're mostly just going to be talking about what's going on.

00:05:16.000 So we'll get into it.

00:05:18.000 I'm very excited about this Fetterman guy.

00:05:22.000 He's my new fascination.

00:05:24.000 Alright, well, thanks for hanging out.

00:05:26.000 We'll talk all about it.

00:05:27.000 We also got Luke here, of course.

00:05:28.000 This should be a very interesting show.

00:05:30.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:05:31.000 And they voted in a dead guy!

00:05:33.000 And John Fetterman!

00:05:35.000 It's because Democrat voters can relate to him.

00:05:39.000 This is going to be a fun show, but this is why I decided to wear my normalized critical thinking t-shirt, which I think we need more of than ever.

00:05:47.000 If you agree, you can get the t-shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com, and because you do, that's why I'm here.

00:05:52.000 Ian, thank you so much for coming.

00:05:54.000 Where's the hat?

00:05:54.000 I gave you a hat yesterday.

00:05:55.000 Where is it?

00:05:56.000 It's too warm, man.

00:05:58.000 I just wore a sweater.

00:05:59.000 Milo, you nailed one aspect of communication, and that is that outfit.

00:06:02.000 It's badass.

00:06:03.000 The flip-flops are better.

00:06:05.000 I like it.

00:06:06.000 They're fish flops.

00:06:07.000 I'll show you.

00:06:09.000 Fish flops?

00:06:11.000 If you live in Florida for any period of time you begin to go native and you start to wear things like this and somebody got it for me as a joke and they're the most comfortable things I've ever had on my feet so I live exclusively in crushed velvet handmade slippers from German Street in England and fish flops.

00:06:30.000 You know what?

00:06:33.000 I have $2,000 Versace brocade slides and all the rest of it.

00:06:38.000 I get no compliments remotely close to how much people love these shoes.

00:06:44.000 I get asked I think 10 times a day, where did you get those shoes?

00:06:47.000 So yeah, I'm basically living the life of an eccentric retiree.

00:06:53.000 Which I'm happy with, because I do a lot of work behind the scenes for people now, so I get sort of all of the clout, influence, and income without any of the stress of being in public.

00:07:06.000 It's great.

00:07:07.000 Yeah, the wild ride.

00:07:07.000 Because your life seems terrible.

00:07:10.000 I couldn't do it.

00:07:11.000 From 2016 to 2018.

00:07:13.000 I have a better understanding now of the limitations within which you have to operate.

00:07:21.000 I have to say, I wouldn't be capable of doing it.

00:07:25.000 We should have that conversation for the Uncensored show and just talk about how the whole system is functioning.

00:07:29.000 I should probably just talk then.

00:07:32.000 Listen now, talk then.

00:07:33.000 Yeah, I play that game sometimes.

00:07:35.000 You'll have stuff to say, so we'll get into it.

00:07:37.000 We also got Surge.

00:07:38.000 Press on all the buttons.

00:07:39.000 Hey, what's up guys?

00:07:41.000 I wasn't trying to give you a hard time.

00:07:42.000 It would be difficult.

00:07:44.000 I don't really know how to talk to normal people anymore because I've just been a regular human for five years.

00:07:47.000 years. You know, so I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't know how

00:07:51.000 to how to do the coloring between the lines thing.

00:07:55.000 Yeah, it's an art format.

00:07:58.000 It's a weird time to be alive with social media subjugation, in a sense.

00:08:02.000 I don't think it's ever happened in the history of humanity before.

00:08:04.000 Ian wants to explain how to make chlorine gas or whatever.

00:08:07.000 Hey, you! 0.99

00:08:09.000 But does it have an extraordinarily depressing effect on you?

00:08:11.000 It must be demoralizing.

00:08:12.000 It does.

00:08:13.000 Last night, I wanted to say so much.

00:08:14.000 It's emasculating, isn't it?

00:08:15.000 It's like part of you has been chopped off.

00:08:18.000 It's like my soul is muted.

00:08:20.000 It's really disturbing, and I want to change it.

00:08:21.000 Well, you're a sweetheart, so it's probably not so difficult for you, but those of us who are compelled to break the rules with every breath we take, there used to be a place for us, you know?

00:08:32.000 California.

00:08:34.000 I think we can have a much greater conversation on this for The Uncensored Show, but I'll just add, I view it like running through a battlefield where you know mines have been placed, and we're trying to make it to the other side to win this conflict.

00:08:45.000 Also, when you're trying to change a system's structure, it's good to go right next door to the system and behave the way you want that system to become, and then it will bleed over into the new system.

00:08:56.000 We'll agree to disagree on strategy.

00:08:58.000 We'll talk about that for the members on The Uncensored where we can go really off, but let's jump into this first story.

00:09:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, last night, Republicans won, and then I wake up in the morning and all the conservatives are angry.

00:09:10.000 They're saying that this was an unlosable election and we did so poorly, and I'm seeing all these leftist personalities cheering and screaming like, oh, no red wave, and I'm just like, I don't understand, the Republicans won.

00:09:22.000 Like, they won.

00:09:24.000 They won, and there's likely more winning coming.

00:09:26.000 I get it, Republicans wanted a bloodbath, but instead, they got a victory.

00:09:31.000 So now, this is great, Biden says he won't change anything after a successful night for Dems, does intend to run in 2024, and it will be fun watching Don V. Ron taunt the press.

00:09:43.000 Okay, he's not going to change anything.

00:09:45.000 That's not the message that people wanted to hear.

00:09:47.000 The message that people want to hear is, things are going to get better.

00:09:50.000 But things are bad.

00:09:51.000 And for a variety of reasons, people are willing to vote Democrat, and a variety of really weird reasons, like they voted in the dead guy.

00:09:58.000 I don't think people want to... I think that people used to be engaged in politics because they wanted to get a glimpse of a better world, but that's the washing powder version of politics.

00:10:11.000 I think people are well into bitterness.

00:10:14.000 I think people want to see the bad guys bleed.

00:10:17.000 I think that people want to see The bloodbath that you're talking about comes not from a desire to reimagine the world in a better way, because I think people are losing hope in that.

00:10:27.000 I think people want to see their antagonists suffer.

00:10:30.000 I agree, I agree.

00:10:32.000 And the reason for the Republican frustration is that they were expecting a rare moment of catharsis, which is not granted often to people with right-of-center politics.

00:10:44.000 A moment in which they could reassure themselves that sometimes justice is done.

00:10:48.000 That the universe is capable of delivering true justice where it is warranted.

00:10:56.000 And they were robbed of that.

00:10:57.000 So what was stolen from them was not some kind of washing powder commercial glimpse of a better future.

00:11:08.000 What was stolen from them was revenge.

00:11:11.000 Because these people don't feel like they've been out of power, and that's a shame.

00:11:15.000 They articulate their feelings now in very religious terms, and they talk about their enemies in terms of demons, devils, and Satan, and the way in which they express themselves.

00:11:33.000 I think the emotional, the sunk emotional cost That they had attached to the midterms as a moment when they could reassure themselves that maybe there was, you know, maybe there was still some glimmer of... But they won.

00:11:47.000 Well, not really.

00:11:48.000 But they won what they needed.

00:11:49.000 The House.

00:11:49.000 No, they... What could they have done better?

00:11:52.000 What could they have done?

00:11:53.000 It was a bog-standard or slightly unimpressive midterm in which the usual swing occurred.

00:11:59.000 That is not what Republicans were expecting.

00:12:01.000 Right, right, right.

00:12:02.000 It's not what they were hoping for.

00:12:03.000 That's not a victory.

00:12:05.000 When something happens that always happens, that happens whether you campaign or not, that happens whether you do anything or not, that's not a victory.

00:12:14.000 People perceive that as a kind of, almost like a weather event, you know?

00:12:21.000 It's just part of the natural cycle of things.

00:12:23.000 There was no victory because there was nothing above and beyond what the ordinary course of a midterm election.

00:12:29.000 I understand what you're saying.

00:12:30.000 That they needed something that proved, something symbolic and something of meaning.

00:12:35.000 They just wanted the people who they feel are tearing the fabric of their civilization apart, doing all kinds of things that we'll talk about in the... To be rebuked.

00:12:47.000 No, to suffer.

00:12:49.000 They wanted to see their... They wanted to see the... I forget what the Conan quote is.

00:12:55.000 I haven't seen it for 25 years.

00:12:56.000 But, you know, they wanted that.

00:12:59.000 Whatever the first bit is, the lamentations of their women.

00:13:01.000 They wanted shrieking, they wanted the 2016 energy.

00:13:05.000 They wanted to see liberals panic.

00:13:07.000 But that's nebulous in the sense that by taking it...

00:13:11.000 No, it's activist.

00:13:12.000 It's activist.

00:13:13.000 It's fundamental.

00:13:14.000 Listen, by winning the House, there can now be inquiries, investigations...

00:13:17.000 Everybody cares about winning the House.

00:13:19.000 Right, right.

00:13:20.000 So listen.

00:13:20.000 Everybody cares about winning the House.

00:13:22.000 So what they get for them to get the retribution, for them to feel the satisfaction, is simply their choice.

00:13:30.000 They got what they could get.

00:13:31.000 Now, I suppose they wanted to see a tremendous landslide victory, which wouldn't have changed anything procedurally.

00:13:39.000 It would have felt good.

00:13:41.000 They didn't get what they could get.

00:13:41.000 They rightly intuit that they were robbed of this victory by people who should have had their backs.

00:13:47.000 But what's the victory?

00:13:48.000 What does victory look like?

00:13:50.000 They wanted to see their enemies humiliated.

00:13:53.000 Right, right, right.

00:13:54.000 And the only reason they're not being humiliated is because Republicans are acting like they lost.

00:13:59.000 No, no, no.

00:14:00.000 What happened in this election was not only were the leaders in the Republican Party removing spending from some of the most inspirational and popular candidates, which itself is a form of demoralization, and sabotaging Some of the candidates that had the most promise for upsets.

00:14:18.000 Those little things that give you a burst of joy.

00:14:21.000 A burst of joy in an otherwise... Yeah, I mean, you know, it would have been nice if he'd won, but...

00:14:32.000 What they correctly intuited is that this was another example of the powers that be in the Republican Party leaving money on the table, actively sabotaging the candidates that the base likes most because they hate them.

00:14:45.000 And they are right about that.

00:14:47.000 That's what happened.

00:14:49.000 The powers that be in the Republican Party sabotaged some of the candidates that were the most popular with the base and changed the result of some of those elections through removing millions of dollars in spending.

00:15:02.000 So the Republicans are acting out not because they're babies who are choosing to be losers, they're acting out because they were wronged and they know it.

00:15:10.000 Sure, sure, but I don't think that explains Ben Shapiro, for instance. 0.92

00:15:14.000 Nothing explains Ben Shapiro.

00:15:16.000 Well, look, you look at the Daily Wire guys, and they're upset about the results.

00:15:20.000 They're saying, you know, to a certain degree... They've never had a moment of contentment in their lives.

00:15:25.000 So perhaps that's it.

00:15:27.000 They weren't going to be satisfied no matter what happened?

00:15:28.000 Well, they weren't...

00:15:31.000 The midterm elections are usually a referendum on the president's term.

00:15:34.000 I really wanted to make a point here.

00:15:36.000 I'll put it like this. They won't be happy until a quite different flag is flying over the White House.

00:15:39.000 Yeah, but the midterm elections are usually a referendum on the president's term.

00:15:43.000 I think there's a reason why Biden is coming out right now and saying,

00:15:47.000 I'm going to keep doing what I usually do, but they historically, politically are.

00:15:52.000 And if we look at previous midterms, like in 2010 and 2014, the Republicans overwhelmingly won by huge numbers.

00:15:59.000 They didn't do that this time.

00:16:01.000 The Senate, again, is still undecided.

00:16:03.000 These results don't match how people feel about Biden.

00:16:07.000 They don't.

00:16:08.000 Now, there are candidates that are weird special cases like Fetterman who has inspired

00:16:16.000 sympathy and he's just, I can't help but sort of like the guy. It just brings out, you know, kind of

00:16:22.000 a warm feeling. I just kind of want to see him succeed because I see him struggling. I see a Fetterman

00:16:26.000 Biden ticket. Normal response to seeing somebody struggling is to want to help them, you

00:16:32.000 know, like.

00:16:33.000 Like, I watched that debate and I wanted to vote for the guy.

00:16:37.000 What people are seeing is results that are out of step with how they know people feel about this presidency.

00:16:43.000 And the reason those results are out of step is the Republican leadership, who didn't just sit by and say, let's just let what happens happen.

00:16:54.000 They actively sabotaged the chances of some of the most popular, populist, nationalist, Trump-adjacent characters.

00:17:01.000 It is, and you know voters are a little bit better informed and a little bit more intelligent, I think, than the Washington people give them credit for.

00:17:09.000 They have correctly intuited betrayal.

00:17:13.000 They are not upset because the results were, you know, they didn't get enough seats.

00:17:17.000 They are justly I think the country should split in half.

00:17:22.000 I'm very much in favor of a national divorce.

00:17:24.000 have been betrayed by the people they pay to have their backs.

00:17:28.000 Do you think that the Republican Party should split in half or

00:17:30.000 split apart?

00:17:31.000 I think the country should split in half. I'm very much in favor

00:17:34.000 of a national divorce. The Republican Party is an entity that survives despite failing to understand how to talk

00:17:46.000 like human beings, how to talk to human beings, and how to

00:17:49.000 reflect the concerns of the voters who, out of the indefatigability

00:17:55.000 of the human spirit, keep hoping for the best and voting for

00:17:57.000 them anyway.

00:17:57.000 Um, the...

00:17:58.000 The party is not fit for purpose and if it doesn't reinvent itself in Trump's image, it doesn't deserve to live.

00:18:04.000 Trump or Ron DeSantis, that's going to be the big debate here as well.

00:18:06.000 I don't think anybody is seriously in favor of DeSantis unless they're paid to be.

00:18:13.000 I strongly disagree with you on that, but that's going to be a topic we're going to be discussing here in a little bit.

00:18:17.000 If you're on Meghan McCain's side, you're on the wrong side.

00:18:21.000 I don't think I'm on Meghan McCain's side at all.

00:18:23.000 But more importantly here, there is something to say about this performance in the face of economic inflation, lockdowns, crime waves, which seems like it wasn't really affecting the election results.

00:18:35.000 There's also the fact that a lot of Trump-endorsed candidates didn't win.

00:18:39.000 Trump's attacking some of them right now.

00:18:42.000 They weren't Trumpian candidates.

00:18:44.000 And then the ones he attacked won.

00:18:46.000 There are some examples of that.

00:18:49.000 I felt a bit icky seeing Trump whine about the consultants.

00:18:54.000 It didn't seem like a kind of alpha dog daddy thing that we're used to from Trump. 0.78

00:18:58.000 Seemed a little bit pathetic and my hope is that he will announce soon and get his mojo back because at the same time as he's taking these very light touch teasing pot shots at DeSantis who has zero chance of But you think even in Miami and Tampa? 0.51

00:19:15.000 DeSantis is almost as popular as Trump in some bits of Florida, but don't ask them to

00:19:20.000 choose because he is gone the second they have to choose between him and Trump.

00:19:24.000 Don't get it twisted, okay?

00:19:26.000 He has no chance.

00:19:28.000 It is not happening.

00:19:29.000 But you think even in Miami and Tampa?

00:19:31.000 Trump?

00:19:32.000 Trump wasn't able to flip those districts.

00:19:34.000 You're out of your mind if you think that somebody with the charisma of a potted cactus

00:19:42.000 can go up against Donald Trump and not end as just another casualty on the list. 0.87

00:19:48.000 You're out of your mind.

00:19:50.000 And looking at the rogues gallery of people who are being paid to support DeSantis, I think unless you can provide a compelling case, which to date I have not heard, You are being charmingly naive in falling in line with the worst people.

00:20:09.000 I can give a very compelling case for it.

00:20:13.000 The worst people in this country who want more than anything for the will of the people to be subverted.

00:20:18.000 They want to suffocate Trump and all he stands for and he is of course merely a proxy.

00:20:24.000 He's a shorthand for a variety of things that they hate about Americans.

00:20:29.000 They hate the gauche-ness of the South.

00:20:33.000 They hate everything about the South.

00:20:35.000 They hate Appalachia, you know, with its lack of sophistication.

00:20:39.000 They despise and are contemptuous of the people who love Trump. 0.98

00:20:45.000 are the architects of their misery. 0.98

00:20:47.000 I mean, there's a reason that these places that vote for Trump have drug problems.

00:20:51.000 It's because the coastal elites systematically killed these towns by taking all the manufacturing abroad to weaken the economic clout of Republican places.

00:21:05.000 Okay, these places were deliberately and systematically sabotaged and the result of that is like

00:21:11.000 human misery on a scale that nobody really truly comprehends.

00:21:15.000 There's now no reason for many of these towns in the South to exist and they stagger on

00:21:20.000 with no factories, with no jobs, with no hope.

00:21:23.000 And people lose themselves in godlessness and in drugs and in all manner of self-destructive behaviors.

00:21:33.000 That was done to them.

00:21:35.000 That was the thing that was done to them, okay?

00:21:38.000 And Trump is a neat shorthand for the kinds of people that coastal elites are considered to be beneath them.

00:21:46.000 And the DeSantis project is about ensuring that Trump was a temporary, unfortunate blip, never to be repeated.

00:21:56.000 Because they think they have the right to determine that.

00:21:58.000 They think they have the right to dictate that.

00:22:01.000 I don't think that's going to pan out for them.

00:22:03.000 I think they're going to continue to be humiliated, just as they have been every time they've tried this since.

00:22:09.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:22:10.000 I would love to hear your case for DeSantis.

00:22:12.000 Absolutely.

00:22:13.000 But my first question would just be, if we took Trump and DeSantis, And we made a Venn diagram of everything they agreed on.

00:22:20.000 What are the differences that you see that DeSantis doesn't have?

00:22:23.000 What is that X factor that Trump does have that you're talking about?

00:22:27.000 Well, you just said it.

00:22:29.000 Trump is a once in a generation charismatic authority that cannot be replicated.

00:22:38.000 It cannot be imitated.

00:22:41.000 As somebody who has a little slice of that kind of charisma myself, and has experienced a retinue of desperate clingers and imitators in my life, I can tell you it never pans out trying to, you know, Just snatch the bits that you can stomach from the guy everybody loves and otherwise keep serving your special interests.

00:23:05.000 Trump is a, look, whether you believe in God or not, you could express this in terms of ordainment if you wanted to, you know, or you could just say that some people are born with a magical ...kind of personality that captivates people in a way that nobody else can imitate.

00:23:25.000 In terms of what people are getting from... DeSantis, on the other hand, has no identifiable personality at all.

00:23:31.000 Well, sure, sure.

00:23:33.000 But what symbol, policy feeling do people get from Trump?

00:23:38.000 What victory do they get?

00:23:39.000 You're making the mistake that all politically minded people make, which is assuming that people vote on the basis of policy.

00:23:45.000 I said feeling.

00:23:48.000 DeSantis has scored some victories in Florida.

00:23:52.000 He's been an excellent governor in Florida, and that's where he should stay.

00:23:55.000 Because he's been a very successful and excellent governor in Florida.

00:23:58.000 But as I said, people like him in some bits of Florida almost as much as they like Trump.

00:24:03.000 But ask them to choose, and he's out.

00:24:04.000 I'm trying to figure out... Now, on the gain people get from Trump they don't get from DeSantis.

00:24:09.000 And that can be emotional.

00:24:11.000 It's precisely that magical intangible that you try to articulate and stumble and then when you go to a rally you're like, that's what I was talking about.

00:24:24.000 It's climatics, man.

00:24:25.000 It's vibration.

00:24:26.000 It actually alters DNA.

00:24:28.000 I don't know about that.

00:24:29.000 that but there are people who are born with that gift and they typically find

00:24:48.000 some way in which to to express it Some of them become singers, some of them become actors.

00:24:57.000 Saying Trump exudes charisma doesn't He's an intoxicant that blots out the sun.

00:25:02.000 that you know so so for me right it does well no right mesmerizing I get that he

00:25:08.000 got that but what what do so so a lot of people are motivated he's an intoxicant

00:25:12.000 that blots out the Sun there's no does it intelligent political candidate who 1.00

00:25:16.000 has a chance what does an intelligent individual or working-class person gain 0.69

00:25:20.000 from that a good feeling I don't know what kind of logical fallacy that is.

00:25:25.000 What does an intelligent person gain?

00:25:27.000 Well because you're saying the average person doesn't care about policy.

00:25:29.000 I can't speak for intelligent people.

00:25:32.000 So if no one actually cares about what their politicians are doing for them, then why should I care about Trump over DeSantis?

00:25:41.000 What happened in 2016 was the last time that half this country felt good about themselves and like there might be hope.

00:25:50.000 You cannot fight that.

00:25:52.000 Hope for what?

00:25:55.000 Their world wouldn't be ripped apart by social engineering and by other things I can't mention right now until the third hour.

00:26:03.000 There are things going on in this country that threaten the very basis of our civilization, that stem from original sins like women's suffrage, but go all the way through to more modern fads and manias to do with things we can't talk about. 0.99

00:26:23.000 People are keenly aware that the physical reality of the world they live in, the facts they took for granted, are being ripped apart by the political descendants of Now I understand.

00:26:39.000 I understand what you're saying.

00:26:41.000 So Trump in 2016, I was very blessed to have the opportunity to be such a big part of that, because that was the last time that an entire half of this country felt like things might end up okay.

00:26:54.000 And he turned out to be disappointing in office, but how could he ever have ended up otherwise?

00:27:01.000 Not appointed really horrible people around him, like John Bolton and Dr. Fauci, and put him in positions of power.

00:27:06.000 That's one of them.

00:27:06.000 But one thing I want to bring up... Trump has a weakness for his family.

00:27:10.000 He finds it very difficult to say hello to his family, I think.

00:27:12.000 But that's the answer to your question.

00:27:14.000 The reason that people will flock to him, no matter what, even though they hate what he has to say about certain medical things, They hate it.

00:27:23.000 They can't understand why he's so proud of it.

00:27:25.000 They can't understand why he never shuts up about it.

00:27:27.000 They just want him to stop.

00:27:28.000 It's like, do you know who your base is, bro?

00:27:31.000 But they'll forgive that and everything because he was the last guy that made them feel like justice and hope was within reach.

00:27:39.000 I'll try and quantify it the way I... what I'm basically hearing is that There are dark forces that are destroying the fabric of this country.

00:27:47.000 Donald Trump stood in front of that and put a fist up to stop it.

00:27:51.000 And said it might not be too late.

00:27:54.000 So when Christianity comes into Europe in the Middle Ages, right, its real innovation is a sort of joy and happiness that's not fueled by self-indulgence and self-destruction.

00:28:06.000 So, pagan societies, you know, people losing themselves in music and substances, there's always kind of a cost attached to that kind of ecstasy, right?

00:28:16.000 You get yourself caught up in some kind of hypnotic pagan, you know, trance thing.

00:28:22.000 The nearest cognate we have these days is drug-fueled EDM raids.

00:28:26.000 And it always comes with a cost attached.

00:28:27.000 There's a price to it.

00:28:29.000 When Christianity comes in the Middle Ages, you suddenly see intensely religious people singing and dancing.

00:28:34.000 They found this way to be happy that doesn't involve killing yourself in some sort of slow-motion suicide.

00:28:41.000 People who are full of the joy of the Incarnation.

00:28:43.000 And you have gargoyles pulling faces on cathedrals.

00:28:47.000 You have religious people with smiles on their faces.

00:28:53.000 One of the emotional capstones of Western civilization is that joy.

00:29:00.000 You know, another characteristic of our artistic tradition is yearning or longing, right?

00:29:05.000 Most great works of art are about reaching for something, you know, about that sort of romantic frustration or whatever.

00:29:10.000 But one of the sort of emotional building blocks of our civilization is joy, joy in Christ, happiness for its own sake.

00:29:21.000 I don't think anybody could plausibly claim that society is getting happier and more joyful.

00:29:26.000 What we've seen with runaway schoolmarmishness and restrictions and regulations, the kind of intolerable and oppressive conditions under which some people, you know, valiantly continue to labour.

00:29:42.000 Is a gradual suffocating of a joy.

00:29:46.000 You know, there's nothing recognizable as comedy on television anymore.

00:29:50.000 Well, just really quick.

00:29:53.000 I'll be quick, sorry.

00:29:58.000 That gradual erosion of happiness.

00:30:03.000 People feel that.

00:30:04.000 They're aware of it.

00:30:06.000 They won't articulate it in the way that I did, but they're aware of it and they know that the last time that something good happened was this crazy guy that they remembered from a TV show who Suddenly inspired them with confidence that maybe it wasn't too late to beat back the hordes of hell.

00:30:30.000 It could be also the loss of religion and the overindulgent society that is being prioritized by big tech social media.

00:30:36.000 But I want to specifically talk about Trump because I did agree with a lot of things you said, specifically that he does have a cult of personality.

00:30:42.000 He did represent an idea that was going to help the American middle class.

00:30:46.000 That's a demeaning minimization.

00:30:51.000 Cult of personality is never a compliment.

00:30:55.000 Cult of personality means that somebody has managed to baffle and bamboozle their followers into doing destructive things.

00:31:01.000 Cult of personality is... Like maybe taking a product that they shouldn't be taking, that hasn't been proven, that hasn't been rushed to prove with Operation Warp Speed.

00:31:09.000 But I just want to specifically get to the point of what happened today because Trump's messaging doesn't look strong today.

00:31:14.000 He came out And he talked about how he got more votes in Florida during his election.

00:31:19.000 He talked about how one of his endorsements was wrong and he openly threatened Ron DeSantis on Fox News saying specifically that DeSantis is going to hurt himself badly if he runs and that he has some kind of dirt on him that his wife doesn't even know that he's going to release to the general public.

00:31:34.000 This doesn't seem like a unifier or someone who's going to bring the party together and help the party overall.

00:31:40.000 It seems like he's looking He's looking out for himself.

00:31:42.000 Let me add one point.

00:31:42.000 Even Picasso had a blue period.

00:31:44.000 I mean, Trump is permitted a wobble given what he's been subjected to.

00:31:48.000 He spent the past year just non-stop talking about the past.

00:31:52.000 Yes, I agree.

00:31:53.000 And I think it's a mistake. 0.98

00:31:55.000 And I think that he currently sounds pathetic. 0.82

00:31:56.000 And I think that he needs to fix it real quick. 0.96

00:31:59.000 But let me tell you, the moment that guy gets his mojo back, there isn't anybody else on the field.

00:32:04.000 And you best believe that will happen.

00:32:06.000 That's a video we should make.

00:32:07.000 Seamus.

00:32:08.000 Seamus.

00:32:08.000 Donald Trump got his mojo back.

00:32:10.000 I say best believe that will happen shortly after he announces when he has kind of, I

00:32:15.000 think, emotionally reinvested in the fight.

00:32:18.000 But this is a guy who- Art of war.

00:32:20.000 This is- Make your enemies think you're weak when you're strong,

00:32:22.000 right?

00:32:22.000 Is that what it is?

00:32:23.000 I don't know if Trump thinks in those terms.

00:32:24.000 I don't know if he's- I'm only half kidding.

00:32:27.000 I don't know if he's read a book, but I don't know if he's read his own.

00:32:31.000 But he doesn't need to because he has that gift that a couple of people per generation

00:32:37.000 have, which is when they're in a good spot and they're firing all cylinders, they just

00:32:43.000 have an atavistic, reflexive, natural understanding of their people.

00:32:51.000 And he's an interesting anomaly because typically you see this in Europe where there are more explicitly established class systems, right?

00:33:02.000 So class operates in America, but everybody pretends it doesn't exist, which is why you don't really understand half of what's happening.

00:33:10.000 There's a weird affinity between the aristocracy and the working classes in European countries that retain some vestige of aristocratic systems.

00:33:20.000 And it's something to do with the fact they live in the same places.

00:33:22.000 They both live, you know, rurally in the countryside.

00:33:24.000 They have some of the same hobbies.

00:33:26.000 They are involved in the same kinds of bits of the economy.

00:33:30.000 But they also have a similar outlook on the world.

00:33:33.000 They tend to be conservationists rather than environmentalists, if that makes sense.

00:33:38.000 They have a kind of understanding that the anxious middle classes, the doctors, teachers and lawyers who live in big cities, can't understand.

00:33:48.000 Trump managed to pull that off in a way that I don't know if any American really ever has before.

00:33:53.000 Reagan maybe had a little dollop of it, but not to this extent.

00:33:58.000 Trump, perhaps because of his ludicrousness, putting his name in gold on the side of his buildings on

00:34:06.000 his plane. The sort of extravagant and yet at the same time kind of mid-brow mid-market 0.56

00:34:11.000 version of opulence that he was showing people set him so far apart

00:34:17.000 from ordinary people that he just managed to form this kind of like weird

00:34:21.000 but real bond in a way I've only seen previously in these you know in these

00:34:28.000 residual class systems.

00:34:29.000 And it's something to do with the fact that when he's listening to his own instincts instead of a certain family members and Like Ivanka Trump that told them to bomb Syria.

00:34:41.000 Well, her husband is the problem.

00:34:42.000 And Jared Kushner, who represents the establishment and is tied to some really seedy and bad places and people.

00:34:48.000 Well, Steve got fired for the same reason that I'm going to get escorted out of here.

00:34:53.000 He just finds it very difficult not to tell the truth. 0.96

00:34:55.000 So when he described Ivanka as dumb as a box of rocks, as soon as I read it, I was like, yeah, Steve said that. 0.99

00:35:02.000 But this is my fear, my lie. 0.99

00:35:03.000 I just want to bring this up really quickly.

00:35:05.000 She's not a diabolical architect of her father's destruction.

00:35:10.000 She's a very easily influenced woman who's very in love with her husband and anxious to maintain some kind of social status independent of her father, which means distinguishing herself from the views of his that are unpopular with New Yorkers.

00:35:25.000 And I absolutely agree with you, but aren't you fearful that the establishment base of the party has been kicked out, or prosecuted, or is being currently put in jail, while the establishment wing of the Trump administration is still... You mean anti-establishment?

00:35:38.000 No, the anti-establishment is getting thrown in jail, has been kicked out, has been kicked out of his administration, and the pro-establishment side is still surrounding him.

00:35:47.000 I don't think that whatever petty humiliations visited upon those brave enough to raise their head above the parapet, you know, I don't think those ultimately inconsequential humiliations have much of an effect at all.

00:36:03.000 Like, Ivanka's there, but Ben's not.

00:36:06.000 Yes, but look, there are those of us who are called, compelled, whatever, whatever, it doesn't feel like much of a choice to me, it just feels like what I was put here to do, to charge out in front and accept the cost of that and what comes with it, you know?

00:36:28.000 And those sort of spectacles, those moments in culture, those moments in history, they linger for decades.

00:36:36.000 They have an effect vastly more complex and far-reaching than people usually appreciate.

00:36:44.000 And when people watched certain things happening to center-right popular funny guys, It will shape the thinking of Republican voters for decades.

00:36:59.000 The fact that there is, for all of the wailing of the left about systemic injustice, which can never really be located or convincingly explained, there is a hideous injustice This has been visited on them and many of the people that they have admired and loved.

00:37:19.000 That stuff shapes the way that people live and the way they think.

00:37:24.000 It shapes their opinions of new players on the scene.

00:37:27.000 There will always be sacrificial lambs.

00:37:31.000 That doesn't in itself mean anything bad, usually the opposite.

00:37:37.000 Martyrs are remembered for a reason.

00:37:38.000 Yeah, but do you feel let down because you're one of the people that was really behind Donald Trump.

00:37:44.000 So were a lot of other people that were censored, that were punished, that were banned on social media.

00:37:49.000 And a lot of people think that Trump was in a position of power where he could have stood up for his supporters, stood up for all the individuals that were going down, taken down as he was in positions of power.

00:37:59.000 Do you feel, like, slighted in any way where he could have done something to big tech social media, he could have reigned them in, and he could have also gone to parlor, he could have also stood up for free speech, but he didn't?

00:38:12.000 I understand why a 70 year old man might not have comprehended the priority that that was.

00:38:21.000 Look, I watched the cancelled summit at the White House and I noted, like everybody else, that nobody who had actually been cancelled was invited.

00:38:30.000 It is a fact of historical record that every year when the new interns came into the White House, they were asked if anybody was a fan of Alex Jones or Marlionopoulos.

00:38:39.000 And if they said yes, they were escorted off the premises.

00:38:42.000 Interns for Trump?

00:38:43.000 The White House interns.

00:38:44.000 And you guys were the biggest... That happened every year that Trump was in office.

00:38:48.000 Now, Trump bears ultimate responsibility for his hiring decisions, but the whole apparatus of the party was deeply committed to a business model that Trump threatened to wreck inside a generation.

00:39:09.000 The gravy train might be over if he succeeded.

00:39:15.000 The antibody response that you saw to Trump was the Aggressive, ruthless, sociopathic response of people who are wedded to earthly riches.

00:39:32.000 Seeing their hoard threatened by somebody who could, you know, cast a spell and impoverish them.

00:39:43.000 I wouldn't want 2016-17 to have played out any other way.

00:39:47.000 What possible better story is there than of these people who were, it's like, you know, people were robbed of us, it sounds conceited to say, but, you know, this fascinating and exciting corner, well, it wasn't a corner, it was, you know, culture really, was sort of wiped out by bad people with bad intentions, and no one was ever held accountable for it, and everybody feels poorer as a result.

00:40:11.000 You know, without cancel culture you wouldn't operate under the appalling conditions that you do.

00:40:16.000 I don't know how you do it every day.

00:40:17.000 I couldn't get up in the morning.

00:40:20.000 And that's why I don't wish for it to go any differently than it did.

00:40:28.000 I think the lasting impression and the righteous indignation that that produced What do you think about Elon Musk buying Twitter and everything that's happened so far?

00:40:42.000 Well, a sensible person would probably say they're cautiously optimistic.

00:40:46.000 The thing I've been following most closely is his... Somebody sent me a telegram channel that just kind of catalogues all of his activity on Twitter.

00:40:58.000 And I don't so much look at what he tweets, because that's obviously, you know, through the lens of, you know, public management, whatever.

00:41:05.000 What's more telling and where I think everybody kind of gives themselves away is in those casual likes that happen at 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning, you know?

00:41:14.000 And the way he brutally handled Kathy Griffin.

00:41:22.000 What I look for when I'm trying to kind of work out what's really going on, I try to think, what's making this guy smile?

00:41:31.000 What is bringing this guy happiness, satisfaction, joy?

00:41:36.000 Because that I find to be a reliable indicator of future behavior.

00:41:40.000 So I'm looking at some of the stuff that Musk likes, and I'm getting a bit more optimistic.

00:41:45.000 And then, you know, when he said she was banned for impersonating a comedian, that's funnier than anything that Kathy Griffin has ever said.

00:41:57.000 It's true.

00:41:57.000 That's funnier than her whole career.

00:41:59.000 And this tells me that he takes great personal satisfaction in seeing justice served to those who have been living high on the hog for far too long.

00:42:10.000 Abusing and insulting the rest of us while not allowing us to respond in kind.

00:42:18.000 And that tells me that he is Powerfully motivated to see justice done publicly So you think that Kathy Griffin was a good move or a bad move?

00:42:29.000 It's phenomenal because it it it was I mean Elon is the king of vaporware and and that's very frustrating but at the same time he he has a sense of theater and spectacle and and It was classically intelligent, Elon, because it was just the right demonstration that he meant what he was saying.

00:42:51.000 He put his money where his mouth was.

00:42:53.000 He put one of the most famous comedians in America in the sin bin, and then insulted her. 1.00

00:42:58.000 Amazing.

00:42:59.000 And forced her to tweet from her dead mother's Twitter account, which she then tried to play off as knowingly ghoulish, but she just looked weird.

00:43:09.000 I mean, she is a damaged figure anyway, but she is a greatly diminished figure as a result of this interaction.

00:43:17.000 He didn't force her, she decided to do it herself, which is disgusting in itself. 0.94

00:43:21.000 Well, the mom thing was just kind of like the clown world capstone. 0.67

00:43:27.000 The way in which he brought her to heel.

00:43:31.000 By being funnier than she has ever been, which is supposed to be her job.

00:43:34.000 I mean, like, who would go up against a comedian on Twitter?

00:43:36.000 Anyone, because they're not funny.

00:43:39.000 Because they're not allowed to be anymore.

00:43:42.000 You know, the basis of comedy for centuries was laughing about our differences so that we can realize they're not that serious.

00:43:49.000 Exactly.

00:43:49.000 That's comedy in its essence.

00:43:51.000 Because when you point out in an affectionate way, amusing manners, amusing ways in which you differ from

00:43:57.000 somebody else has the effect of bringing people closer together, not

00:43:59.000 driving them apart.

00:44:00.000 And a deliberate misunderstanding of this is behind, you know,

00:44:03.000 the death of joy that I was talking about.

00:44:05.000 But he chose just the right person who had already damaged herself with the Trump head

00:44:12.000 and therefore was difficult to defend to demonstrate that he really meant what he said.

00:44:17.000 And then, in a final act of sadism, which I enjoyed, he said, I guess if she really wants her account back, she can have it.

00:44:26.000 Meaning, beg.

00:44:28.000 He said for $8.

00:44:28.000 For $8, yeah.

00:44:31.000 Which is great, too.

00:44:31.000 You can say what you want about me, that's gonna be $8.

00:44:34.000 But he basically said to her, I have humiliated you in front of the world.

00:44:39.000 You can come back, but you've got to beg me.

00:44:42.000 And in doing that, he, in a sense, was speaking for all of us in that moment.

00:44:49.000 And we were all kind of like, this is what we've been waiting for.

00:44:52.000 And we got a little glimmer of maybe what we felt in 2016.

00:44:56.000 But it was more than that.

00:44:58.000 It was putting his money where his mouth was, right?

00:45:00.000 Not that he hadn't done it already, but, I mean, I think he borrowed most of the money for the purchase, and put a lot of debt on the books, but who wouldn't?

00:45:09.000 It was him showing us that he meant it.

00:45:11.000 He actually did mean it.

00:45:12.000 And it was a stand-by and stand-back, or whatever it is.

00:45:19.000 Just hold on.

00:45:20.000 I'm gonna deal with this.

00:45:21.000 You made a very important point about comedy healing society, and I think one reason why society is so ravaged is because comedy has been pretty much been made illegal.

00:45:30.000 I remember your Patrick Ewan comment.

00:45:32.000 We don't have to get into the specifics of it, but I remember it just being hilarious.

00:45:36.000 But specifically, if you were given the chance one more time to go back on Twitter, would you take it?

00:45:41.000 And how would you post differently?

00:45:43.000 Would you be different or would you be the same?

00:45:47.000 Everybody I know has had a very different trajectory after cancellation to me.

00:45:53.000 I'm sorry, people are going to know who I'm talking about and some of them are friends and some of them used to be friends, but I've just seen people become just destroyed.

00:46:05.000 I've seen people wreck themselves through this, like, hysterical kind of manufactured grief about a Twitter account.

00:46:17.000 It was never that serious.

00:46:17.000 It was never that important to me.

00:46:18.000 It was just one medium through which I enjoyed amusing people.

00:46:21.000 But for some people, it was kind of all they had.

00:46:23.000 And many of those people have been wrecked by this.

00:46:26.000 They're not the same people they were in 2015.

00:46:28.000 2015. And I saw some of my friends, people I'd previously admired, doing this kind of,

00:46:35.000 you know, pathetic clamoring for some glimmer of formal relevance, trying, you know, doing 0.81

00:46:40.000 anything at all costs to stay in the headlines occasionally. 0.98

00:46:43.000 And I frankly, I felt that it was, it was squalid and, and, and decrepit and beneath me

00:46:49.000 and I was absolutely not interested in lowering myself to that. So, you know, I, I think I've,

00:46:56.000 I think I've emerged from it the most psychologically intact because everybody I know

00:47:03.000 is, was driven crazy by it.

00:47:05.000 You know, in ancient Rome, when an emperor was especially bad.

00:47:11.000 They would do something that was later called Damnatio Memoriae.

00:47:14.000 So when the emperor died, they would chip his name off buildings and smash his busts with the goal of erasing him from history.

00:47:23.000 The idea was that, you know, nobody would be able to tell in future because in Europe, in Western civilization, we used to think in terms of Of civilization, of legacy.

00:47:33.000 Legacy, yeah.

00:47:36.000 When the patriarchy was intact, we thought more about that kind of thing.

00:47:41.000 Yeah.

00:47:42.000 And so the Romans were very concerned about how they would be viewed in future.

00:47:47.000 So when somebody was especially cruel or wicked or crazy, they went to great lengths to erase them from history.

00:47:53.000 There's something oddly more sadistic and wretched is happening now, because people are alive to see their own erasure.

00:48:02.000 And that's new in history.

00:48:04.000 There's no real close equivalent to that.

00:48:08.000 You used to have banishment.

00:48:10.000 Well, yeah, sure.

00:48:11.000 But you know, you can go and you can make a new life.

00:48:13.000 But to be forcibly installed on the sidelines watching as your name and your

00:48:22.000 work and your reputation is destroyed and dismantled and urinated on.

00:48:31.000 That's something that not even the most sadistic and insane Roman emperor suffered.

00:48:37.000 And I can understand why a lot of people find it traumatic.

00:48:41.000 Perhaps I had a bit more of a healthy attitude to all that in the first place, so I didn't kind of feel an existential loss of like, it's a Twitter account.

00:48:50.000 I still have my house.

00:48:51.000 I still have my health.

00:48:54.000 It didn't make me wake up in a cold sweat thinking I've lost everything, as it did to some other people, because I think I maybe had a bit of a better appreciation of what it represented and what it didn't.

00:49:09.000 But I understand why they're traumatized, you know?

00:49:12.000 It's been very upsetting.

00:49:14.000 I personally would do nothing different at all.

00:49:16.000 Will you come back on the platform?

00:49:18.000 Sorry, that was your question.

00:49:19.000 I don't know.

00:49:19.000 I feel like, I mean, I kind of like sort of define that era and me coming back is going to be like a, well, there's any, all roads lead to some kind of, some kind of disappointing tribute act to past glories, you know?

00:49:37.000 And I don't really believe in, you know, kind of trying to resurrect past successes.

00:49:44.000 I'm happy that they happened and all the rest of it, but I'm not somebody that can live that way.

00:49:51.000 So if I do, it will probably be in a very different format and a very different style.

00:50:02.000 It's a battlefield that I comprehensively conquered and I don't feel the need to revisit it because I beat it.

00:50:09.000 I beat it so much that, you know, they had to institute, you know, the regime that followed.

00:50:15.000 They had a hashtag... I can't say the word.

00:50:18.000 They had to make rules because of you.

00:50:20.000 They did.

00:50:20.000 I mean, it set the trajectory for the failure of the company, you know.

00:50:24.000 And that's something I regard with, you know, nostalgia and satisfaction.

00:50:28.000 And revisiting it would be to fall prey to a sort of debilitating temptation to live in the past.

00:50:41.000 Milo, I want to ask you this question, because you talked about legacy in the Roman emperors.

00:50:44.000 I'm wondering if you think the loss of that in modern civilization, that many people no longer care about their legacy and their history, is a defining factor in why things are the way they are, falling, becoming darker.

00:50:55.000 Yes, it's a product of women's suffrage. 1.00

00:50:57.000 The kinds of people who were plausible candidates for office changed when the voting base broadened.

00:51:08.000 And I don't think it's controversial to say that the sexes are different and have different priorities and different preoccupations and different ways of approaching the question, who do I want, right? 0.81

00:51:23.000 I am of the view that women's suffrage changed politics for the worse because I think it opened the floodgates to opportunistic, charming sociopaths who might previously have been weeded out or considered not the right kind of person. 0.98

00:51:41.000 Sometimes you see glimpses of this in, I mean, if you watch Mary Poppins, right?

00:51:45.000 And the dad who's kind of like vilified Mr. Banks is the only virtuous character in the whole thing.

00:51:50.000 And he's talking about how discipline, order, and that essential English virtue, restraint.

00:51:57.000 are the basis of a orderly civilization.

00:52:03.000 And those are the virtues, the values, the habits that we should aspire to.

00:52:08.000 And all around him, he's got this pampered, prideful mess of a wife who can't be bothered to be a mother and is churning through nannies instead because she's, you know, got her whatever. 0.82

00:52:20.000 There's this witch who descends from the sky and, you know, It gives the kids psychedelic drugs, I guess.

00:52:30.000 We've got to remake this movie, by the way.

00:52:31.000 No, it's already done.

00:52:36.000 She kind of wears the thin veneer of rules and manners, but really she preaches chaos.

00:52:45.000 There's stuff in that movie that is on purpose.

00:52:49.000 In Feed the Birds, she has the audacity to claim knowledge of what the saints think about airborne rodents pooping on cathedrals, damaging the architecture.

00:53:04.000 It's a very subversive movie about the triumph of witchcraft over virtue.

00:53:08.000 Is that what it is?

00:53:13.000 Mary Poppins?

00:53:14.000 Oh, it's hideous.

00:53:15.000 It's fascinating.

00:53:16.000 No, it's very dark.

00:53:17.000 It's very dark.

00:53:18.000 We have to do like a thing where we watch it and you do like a director's commentary kind of thing where you explain all this stuff.

00:53:23.000 There's a show in Britain I think called Gogglebox where the show is two people on a couch talking about the show they're watching and it sounds like unendurable but it's really good.

00:53:32.000 Bobble box?

00:53:33.000 Goggle box.

00:53:34.000 I've never seen it, but everybody loves it.

00:53:38.000 No, I mean, there's so much in that movie, you know, to unpack the way that she presents as an appropriate candidate for the role, but then immediately sets about wrecking the social order. 1.00

00:53:56.000 And it's a particular kind of Christian restraint that Mr. Banks is explaining.

00:54:06.000 He's saying that we can't just give in to every reckless and wild abandoned temptation.

00:54:12.000 He's saying in order to prosper and to be happy and to be successful and for our ancestors to be proud of us and our descendants to be grateful to us, there are virtues we should cleave to that involve not indulging ourselves And what does Mary Poppins come and do?

00:54:32.000 She comes and makes a mockery of the business of tidying the room by using witchcraft so there's no effort expended, violating the natural order of things and teaching the kids that they can do their chores without the effort required and therefore they don't learn lessons from it. 1.00

00:54:50.000 She takes them on this psychedelic journey, teaching them nonsense words.

00:54:53.000 She praises... I mean, you won't know this as Americans, but you don't feed pigeons in London.

00:55:01.000 They're rats with wings. 0.72

00:55:03.000 That's what we call them, you know.

00:55:04.000 This lullaby to send people to sleep.

00:55:09.000 Is about encouraging a vermin that has destroyed the architecture of London, you know?

00:55:15.000 Everything in that movie is about undermining or overturning the natural order of things.

00:55:21.000 And this is what the headless, selfish, prideful mother, wrapped up in her own political escapades, neglecting her duties as a mother, Now, the reason that I abhor women's suffrage is not that it was something women just demanded, demanded, demanded that they don't deserve or that they're not capable of executing. 0.97

00:55:44.000 Actually, it was a manifestation of cowardice from the men because it was a way of saying, you're on your own, handle yourself, I'm not responsible for your decision making and therefore I can't be held accountable for what happens afterwards. 0.61

00:55:57.000 Women's suffrage was a result of a crisis of confidence in the men.

00:56:01.000 And this was greatly enhanced and concentrated by the two world wars that Europe experienced where men, I think, basically lost the, they felt like they lost the right to rule.

00:56:16.000 They felt like they'd wrecked the world.

00:56:18.000 I mean, it's difficult for us from this distance to appreciate.

00:56:22.000 The unfathomable, you know, psychopathic horrors of the Third Reich, you know, in whatever manifestation you choose to believe, you know, whichever configuration of historical fact, they're all terrible.

00:56:37.000 How a well-ordered Christian society gets to the point of going along with that is something that ought to haunt all of us. 1.00

00:56:45.000 And it haunted everybody.

00:56:47.000 Because people had friends in Germany and they're like, how could you send your kids to the Hitler Youth?

00:56:53.000 Well, everybody's in the Hitler Youth. 0.85

00:56:54.000 It's just like the Scouts.

00:56:55.000 The way that that country got swept up in it, it's something dark and dangerous about human nature that we are yet to really understand. 0.68

00:57:02.000 It's the obsession with religion as an institution that's really done Christianity dirty, man.

00:57:06.000 To say that it's out there and if I think those things then I don't have to live like Jesus was, you've got to live like Jesus.

00:57:12.000 That's your job as a Christian.

00:57:13.000 Then you embody the Christ.

00:57:16.000 That's what we need.

00:57:17.000 Well, I'm Catholic, so I can't agree with your heretical opening, but certainly we should look to Christ as an example to live by.

00:57:25.000 But, you know, Christ is not an emotionally incontinent person in the Gospels.

00:57:31.000 I don't think he ever laughs.

00:57:33.000 He's quite a serious guy and says quite outrageous things, things you couldn't say on YouTube.

00:57:42.000 He is actually quite a profoundly serious figure, despite the great joy he brings into the world by his selflessness, his sacrifice.

00:57:50.000 But very interestingly, I just also want to bring up… What he lays down for us is what became the great classic English virtue of restraint.

00:57:59.000 I'm going to say no, because I understand that there are consequences that come with short-term pleasure.

00:58:10.000 And this really is the most useful lesson that anybody can teach their children.

00:58:14.000 And Mary Poppins is just an extended undermining of the most valuable lesson that any parent can teach their child.

00:58:24.000 Yeah, and when you look at modern entertainment, you do see a lot of those themes regurgitated and exaggerated, especially with some of the... Well, now things are just grotesque.

00:58:33.000 Yeah, it's unwatchable because it's not entertainment, it's propaganda.

00:58:36.000 A lot of it is sometimes, if we're lucky, it's subconscious and subliminal, but many times it's overt, in-your-face, the larger messaging of not just degeneracy, short-term pleasures, but just also destroying not only race relations, sex relations, but destroying kind of humanity from the inside with this psychological mass That's hypnosis as I call it.

00:58:55.000 The individual subject matter are all, you know, arguable and we'll probably agree about

00:59:00.000 all of that, but the real characteristic that it has, the way to understand it, because

00:59:06.000 it's happened before in history, the nature, its character, its nature, is that we're entering

00:59:12.000 a late decadent period of gloating that is common to all illegitimate tyrannies.

00:59:18.000 And the one we have right now is something that Orwell didn't foresee, a weird blend

00:59:22.000 of private enterprise and government run by the same people who operate both for their

00:59:30.000 exclusive enrichment and which has impoverished all of us in spiritual ways, in financial

00:59:36.000 ways, in all kinds of ways, culturally, you name it.

00:59:40.000 In every conceivable way.

00:59:41.000 I'm going to put a link in the description below.

00:59:42.000 Our lives and our society are getting dramatically worse with each day that passes.

00:59:46.000 And my decision personally has been to refuse to play along with that.

00:59:50.000 And I won't operate within those rules because I think it's beneath the dignity of a human being to do so.

00:59:58.000 I don't mean that as an insult to you guys because I admire the discipline that it takes and I understand the calculus that you've made, right?

01:00:06.000 We're going to say less but to more people.

01:00:08.000 I totally get it.

01:00:10.000 And there's a spectrum on which we all operate.

01:00:13.000 I'm on the opposite end to you guys.

01:00:14.000 So you guys and I have taken a different strategy to the same problem.

01:00:19.000 Both are right and both are needed, you know?

01:00:22.000 We just are on opposite ends of it.

01:00:25.000 But this gloating, the gleefulness with which they revel in their...

01:00:35.000 Unaccountable and untrammeled power over us is intolerable and unsustainable.

01:00:41.000 And when that happens in history, the empire in question typically falls really quickly, shortly thereafter.

01:00:48.000 And when big nation, when big empires fall, they don't fall like you think they're going to.

01:00:53.000 They don't kind of ossify.

01:00:54.000 They don't disintegrate.

01:00:56.000 They evaporate.

01:00:58.000 It happened to Rome, it happened to the USSR, and it will happen to America. 0.82

01:01:02.000 Yeah, we're on that time period too.

01:01:04.000 The vector for America is probably going to be the petrodollar and the dollar general.

01:01:07.000 I asked you about the loss of – I guess we don't care about legacy anymore, or at least many do, but many don't.

01:01:15.000 It's a shift in priorities from the widening of the electorate.

01:01:18.000 Right, right.

01:01:18.000 You mentioned this.

01:01:19.000 I want to specifically go in that direction.

01:01:21.000 You're saying that women don't care about legacy as much as men do, or what's the... How does that happen? 0.99

01:01:26.000 A system working perfectly is a system where everything is in its right place, performing the function for which it was designed, okay?

01:01:34.000 And if any component in that system is improperly utilized, or damaged, or in the wrong place, the whole thing can seize up, and sometimes it can be destroyed.

01:01:45.000 A fine watch from a Swiss watchmaker will be irretrievably wrecked by a component being moved from here to here.

01:01:57.000 You can't fix it.

01:01:59.000 Only the very expensive ones, but you get the point.

01:02:02.000 We… I take the same view of creation.

01:02:05.000 We ought not tamper with the order that has been laid out for us.

01:02:12.000 And there are different, distinct… Equal but different, I suppose people want to say.

01:02:18.000 There are distinct… I don't think they are equal.

01:02:20.000 I think women are greatly venerated and always have been. 0.97

01:02:23.000 And when women ask for equality with men, I'm of the view that they are silly in asking for demotion. 0.99

01:02:32.000 What we shouldn't tamper with is the proper order of things.

01:02:37.000 There's a proper order to the physical world, to the natural world that reflects the heavenly order, that represents the supernatural, that reflects the supernatural, right?

01:02:45.000 It's an echo of it.

01:02:49.000 Have men doing things that women should be doing, and women doing things that men should be doing. 0.99

01:02:53.000 And when we commingle the definitions of those two things, we risk the whole system falling down.

01:03:00.000 And I think that's what's happening.

01:03:02.000 I think that's what we're witnessing.

01:03:04.000 And Camille Paglia, the feminist critic, says that the one characteristic, an infallible guide to imminent collapse in All great civilizations in the past is an obsession with, she calls it a kind of gender madness, right? 0.76

01:03:22.000 Without getting into the subject in a way that would be dangerous, a preoccupation with innovative and sometimes confusing new definitions of things.

01:03:34.000 Instead of confusing of this fundamental natural law, this is the moment at which civilizations lose their way and they don't last long after that.

01:03:42.000 So, I think that it is a man's responsibility to protect and to provide.

01:03:47.000 I think that men go out and create all these extraordinary things ultimately to impress women.

01:03:53.000 When men want to impress other men, they take creatine and work out.

01:03:55.000 That's always for other men. 0.78

01:03:57.000 Women don't care about physics so much. 1.00

01:04:00.000 That's always for men. 1.00

01:04:02.000 Something sort of intrinsically homosexual about that. 0.98

01:04:04.000 But when men go out and achieve these great feats, building civilizations, constructing cathedrals, it's because they want access, they want in.

01:04:19.000 It's a romantic project and it's beneath the dignity of of wives and mothers who have a far more important purpose on earth to give them, you know, the petty workings of these political experiments that men have come up with to occupy themselves, to, you know, distract them with that stuff.

01:04:43.000 And I don't think it's something that women especially love.

01:04:46.000 I mean, women kind of hint this, sort of, they send us subtle indications that this might be the case. 0.99

01:04:52.000 You see very often women kind of adopt the politics of their husbands. 0.99

01:04:55.000 It's kind of a phenomenon that is actually more pronounced the more extreme that the husband's politics are.

01:05:01.000 So you have these women who fall in love with like jihadis and they adopt, you know, radical Islam and then they go husband surfing because their husbands all, you know, kind of do suicide bombings. 0.69

01:05:12.000 They bounce from husband to husband.

01:05:13.000 But they start off, you know, like perfectly normal.

01:05:15.000 Jihad Jane, Jihad Jenny, there's a Samantha Luthwaite.

01:05:18.000 Loads of examples of this.

01:05:19.000 Women who just kind of adopt any politics at all to get the guy, right? 1.00

01:05:24.000 And this is their way of telling us that they don't really care.

01:05:26.000 You know, it's just like they have other priorities.

01:05:28.000 They want to feel safe.

01:05:29.000 They want to feel secure.

01:05:30.000 They want to feel loved, provided for, protected.

01:05:33.000 And part of doing that is sparing women from the ugly, baffling, and frankly squalid world of politics full of opportunists and freaks and inappropriate people. 0.92

01:05:48.000 You know, they're all the people who want power, right?

01:05:50.000 The people in politics.

01:05:52.000 And so we suffer them.

01:05:54.000 But you think women shouldn't be in politics? 1.00

01:05:57.000 I think that in America, because American men are so utterly pathetic, all talk and no action, that I find American women much more impressive than American men. 0.98

01:06:11.000 And there are lots of examples of women having to step up where men have left vacuums. 1.00

01:06:15.000 I think Marjorie Taylor Greene is an example of that.

01:06:18.000 She will readily tell you that in a perfect world she wouldn't have to be doing this, but she felt that it was necessary and that she was the right person at the right time and the right place.

01:06:28.000 Where are men?

01:06:29.000 Because no man is doing it for her.

01:06:31.000 So I see her as a kind of a sort of a Boudicca Joan of Arc kind of warrior queen archetype, you know?

01:06:37.000 She's doing the thing that no man will step up and do.

01:06:40.000 And, you know, every couple of hundred years men need a reminder like that, that they're reneging on their responsibilities.

01:06:48.000 I don't think it's the proper arena of women to concern themselves with the intricacies of politics because they have a higher and holier and much more important purpose to which their skills are better suited. 1.00

01:07:01.000 And I think that when, you know, when in the two world wars and women flooded the market, the workplace out of necessity, and then you have, you know, the invention of the washing machine which frees up this enormous amount of time.

01:07:13.000 Once women had been, well, pleaded with to come and keep the factory line running, nobody felt they had the right coming back from war when they direct the world to say, all right, back in the kitchen, love. 1.00

01:07:26.000 So they just sort of accepted the new reality.

01:07:30.000 We can see what's happened as a result.

01:07:33.000 There's been a feminizing of our institutions.

01:07:36.000 Police forces have started to act more like school teachers, where they're kind of scolding people for using the wrong language rather than, you know, criminals.

01:07:45.000 There's all kinds of hints that the priorities, that the mission statements, that the modus operandi of our state institutions, and now private enterprises too, have changed, and I don't think for the better, as a result of what was missold to women as emancipation and was actually their enslavement.

01:08:09.000 Would you advocate for repealing the 19th amendment?

01:08:11.000 Absolutely.

01:08:13.000 For those that don't know, it's the women's right to vote. 1.00

01:08:15.000 We owe women an enormous apology for the imposition that we placed on them by this grievous ongoing offense, subjecting them to the ugliness of politics when they should be concerned with raising the next generation and perpetuating the dynasty, which is of course the thing that the man is worrying about. 0.63

01:08:34.000 And he finds a wife that he believes will be a partner with him in that task.

01:08:41.000 And while he's having these grandiose thoughts and building these extraordinary structures, it's the women that are doing the hard work of raising the next generation.

01:08:50.000 They can't do both.

01:08:52.000 And I think now we've seen, and women are beginning to admit in columns in The Atlantic and elsewhere. 0.50

01:08:59.000 Why do you think this is happening?

01:09:03.000 I mean, there was a big push by the industrialists, individuals like David Rockefeller, that wanted to, of course, make sure wages were lowered, make sure that there was a bigger tax base.

01:09:13.000 There was a political push, a psychological push, but there's also a biological push.

01:09:18.000 If you look at men, Their grip strength is going down.

01:09:21.000 Women's grip strength is going up. 0.87

01:09:24.000 Men's testosterone is going down.

01:09:25.000 Their sperm levels are going down.

01:09:27.000 Reproduction rates are going down.

01:09:28.000 Family units are going down.

01:09:30.000 There's a lot of different things that we could attribute.

01:09:32.000 But it's so delicious.

01:09:33.000 Code Red.

01:09:34.000 No, stop it! 0.97

01:09:35.000 Don't you, Milo?

01:09:36.000 How dare you?

01:09:37.000 I disagree with you so much right there. 0.99

01:09:39.000 I will drop dead because of Code Red.

01:09:41.000 I will. 0.99

01:09:41.000 You probably will. 0.99

01:09:42.000 It will be the thing that kills me. 0.95

01:09:44.000 I will be so fat.

01:09:45.000 I don't know if those rumors are just urban legends or whatever.

01:09:48.000 But I want to get back to this question here is, what is responsible for it and how do we fix this overall problem?

01:09:54.000 How do you quantify the problem?

01:09:56.000 How do you fix it?

01:09:57.000 So, capitalism wants maximum freedom because maximum freedom means maximum profits.

01:10:03.000 And that works on both the supply and... It works every point in the chain, right?

01:10:07.000 So, the more workers you have, the better.

01:10:10.000 The more people who can work, the better, because the more diverse the workforce is, the less likely they are to unionize. 0.84

01:10:14.000 Which is why big business is in favor of diversity, because it makes their workforces easier to abuse and to manage.

01:10:21.000 That's the reason big business likes diversity, because if you have a workforce made up of people who can barely speak each other's languages, they are never going to get together to beat the boss.

01:10:34.000 Atomized.

01:10:35.000 You can get someone in trouble for anything.

01:10:37.000 Anybody who is acting out of line, you can say, oh, well, you're violating this provision.

01:10:41.000 This, I believe, is a manifestation of a frustrated maternal instinct from women who should have had children and didn't. 0.95

01:10:49.000 And it's become this kind of out-of-control, turbocharged policing of others, this attempt to impose order on the world.

01:11:01.000 And, you know, I lay the blame for this at the feet of men who, you know, it's the job of a husband to establish the parameters within which his family will operate.

01:11:13.000 These are the things that I will accept and these are the things that I will not accept.

01:11:16.000 And he counts on his partner to express those wishes in her daily decisions and how she raises the children.

01:11:24.000 Well, men haven't been doing that for a really long time and the result has been anarchy. 0.64

01:11:31.000 And not just like, not just chaos, but like true epistemological anarchy.

01:11:36.000 They're like multiple fact universes in America now.

01:11:40.000 There are people who believe completely different pictures of what they think is objective reality, right?

01:11:45.000 Because instead of politics being, you know, the art of the possible grounded in reason, Now we have competing narratives and these narratives are completely factually divorced from one another and in most cases from from reality themselves as well.

01:12:02.000 This is the result of this is a feminization of discourse because we become untethered from Mr. Banks's reason and discipline which always falls on the man to hold in line and instead we begin to indulge in I mean to put it in grammatical terms, right?

01:12:18.000 Women live in the subjunctive. 1.00

01:12:20.000 They live in the world of the possible, right?

01:12:23.000 And the economy of value for women is completely different than it is for men.

01:12:32.000 No man really understands, until he has it explained to him, why women like expensive handbags. 1.00

01:12:36.000 It's like, why do you want this thing that costs $5,000?

01:12:40.000 It's not worth $5,000.

01:12:41.000 Everybody knows it's not worth… What he doesn't understand is that the price point is part of the feature set for a woman. 0.98

01:12:47.000 Because when she… exhibits this handbag to others, she's signaling that she has snagged a high status husband, that she's secure, that she's safe, and that she's part of an ongoing and secure dynasty that will outlive her, and that she has acquired a secure and enviable position in the social pecking order.

01:13:07.000 And that social pecking order, you know, is a preoccupation of, you know, the parish, you know, scolds of popular legend.

01:13:16.000 Men don't understand that buying the big diamond, that makes no sense, because the association with diamonds and eternity and love is an invention of the ad industry, right?

01:13:26.000 Yeah, it was a scam.

01:13:27.000 It's a complete confection.

01:13:30.000 But it's meaningful now, and it matters now, because it's an expression of something that What women want to see in their husbands is that they will do anything, the grand gestures, the romantic gestures, even where it imperils their own pleasure, well-being, et cetera, et cetera, to publicly demonstrate their love for this woman, right?

01:13:52.000 And then they want to build a home with a man who they don't necessarily always agree with, but they always admire and respect.

01:14:01.000 The deal is, I'll do what you say, even when I don't agree with you, because I respect, admire, and trust you enough to let you set the parameters for the household.

01:14:12.000 When men fail in their duties to set those parameters, women expand endlessly with no limits. 1.00

01:14:19.000 And we see that in HR departments.

01:14:24.000 I mean, the reason that people like me can't get podcast deals is that the ad sales department is entirely feminine. 1.00

01:14:29.000 It's 100% women. 1.00

01:14:31.000 Um, and so, so the vice president would be like, I love you.

01:14:34.000 I just can't get these women to sell you to advertisers because they're going to come up with a bunch of reasons why you're whatever. 1.00

01:14:40.000 Um, the, the, the economy of value is so completely different and, and, and, you know, When people stray into areas that are not their proper domain, and that could be a husband interfering in something that happens domestically, or it could be a woman in a conventionally male sphere, it's a trap.

01:15:01.000 It's an illusion.

01:15:02.000 It seems at first like freedom emancipation, but actually it is enslavement.

01:15:07.000 I agree on a lot, but I disagreed on one thing.

01:15:10.000 I don't think it's related to anarchy.

01:15:12.000 I think it's related to centralization, especially when it comes to things like the ESG score that has been pushing a lot of these social norms onto people.

01:15:20.000 I think, you know, the industrialists, the governments, especially with the policies they put forward, the initiatives that they put forward, and what they do, and what they incentivize, truly has been leading to a society that is creating more slaves and the state having more power.

01:15:34.000 There's a centralizing tendency in matriarchies because they're trying to recreate the patriarchy that's let them down. 1.00

01:15:40.000 They're trying to recreate the patriarchy that failed them by disappearing, right?

01:15:48.000 So they're trying to recreate it except they don't know how because they don't have the tools, right?

01:15:53.000 The reason Satan rebels and becomes Lucifer Is that he is driven mad by jealousy, because God gives women a gift that angels don't have.

01:16:07.000 And it's the gift of co-procreation with God, right?

01:16:11.000 When you, within the holy sacrament of marriage, are blessed with a child, you don't just create a child with your husband, but you are co-creating with God, because while you produce the biological matter, God imbues that child with an immortal soul.

01:16:24.000 So, in that sacrament, husband and wife are engaging in the act of creation alongside their almighty father.

01:16:32.000 Like, we could talk about it forever, but the angels didn't get that.

01:16:40.000 And driven mad by jealousy and rage at what he saw as the sort of preferred younger sibling.

01:16:47.000 This is the basis for the rebellion, right?

01:16:51.000 That should frame our understanding when we talk about this. 1.00

01:16:55.000 It's not that we think that women are stupid or incompetent. 1.00

01:16:58.000 Clearly they can manage perfectly well in these spheres. 1.00

01:17:01.000 Whether the effect is good or not is another matter, but clearly they can handle it.

01:17:08.000 But it's allowing, encouraging them or enticing them to do so as big business does because it's good for the bottom line.

01:17:17.000 It's only possible when you set to one side the reality of the magic and responsibility and incredible gift that women have that we don't.

01:17:29.000 I thought that was really, I guess, inspiring what you said about society kind of becoming overly mothered because women aren't having enough children and so they're turning their motherly instinct outward.

01:17:41.000 Yeah, it's got to go somewhere.

01:17:42.000 They're built for it.

01:17:43.000 They're built for it.

01:17:44.000 And if they are lied to and choose their career over having babies, It has to come out somewhere.

01:17:53.000 So what do they do?

01:17:53.000 They end up in HR, where they get to make rules, just like they would if they were a mom.

01:17:58.000 This is funny.

01:17:58.000 We talked about this because there was a story we read.

01:18:01.000 And I mentioned that there are some women, not all, not most, but there are some women we see posting on things like Tinder, that they wish they just were able to have families and didn't have to have careers.

01:18:14.000 And the Young Turks took that and turned it into Tim Pool thinks old women or some like Tim Pool's ridiculous argument about women. 0.92

01:18:21.000 It's fascinating that you can't even acknowledge that some women feel that way. 0.94

01:18:26.000 There's a counterintuitive but inescapably true fact, which is that the freer women have gotten, the more miserable they have become. 1.00

01:18:38.000 Well, how about just one quick point.

01:18:40.000 In Sweden, where women have more equal access, the gender differences are actually more pronounced.

01:18:45.000 Yes, because people are so desperate for them.

01:18:50.000 You can neatly trace the history of women's emancipation and it tacks directly on to how women report their own increasing misery.

01:19:02.000 And also the antidepressant use, and also Big Pharma tablets, SSRIs, and antidepressants, which have gone up with that unsatisfaction.

01:19:09.000 One in ten Americans on antidepressants, half of all Democrat women, so they've been to the doctor for mental health problems, you know, that's not normal, and it doesn't happen elsewhere in the world.

01:19:22.000 It doesn't happen in other places.

01:19:24.000 We medicate their misery.

01:19:25.000 And yes, and this is, well, the pharmaceutical model of mental health Is only capable of treating symptoms it can't fix what's wrong with you because it doesn't account for the existence of a soul at all It treats the body as a purely mechanical Machine as a machine and if only we could find out which bit needs more oil or which bit is needs replacing We can fix your depression.

01:19:53.000 Well, that's not the nature of depression.

01:19:54.000 I That's not the nature of most mental illnesses.

01:19:58.000 We just recently discovered, finally, that the psychiatric industry admitted that there is no basis for the accepted wisdom that depression is a chemical imbalance.

01:20:10.000 They can't find it.

01:20:11.000 They can't prove it.

01:20:12.000 So it might be that depression is a product of Maybe of guilt about sin that no absolution has been sought for?

01:20:23.000 Of terrible things?

01:20:24.000 All kinds of possibilities open up.

01:20:27.000 But the current system is totally incapable of healing.

01:20:33.000 It's only capable of… Dealing with the symptoms.

01:20:37.000 …placating in a way that produces new and worse problems like addictions.

01:20:41.000 I mean, the range of temptations that are available… So, we don't understand addiction very well because we don't understand the brain very well, but the one thing we do know is the main difference between people who relapse and people who don't is, is it available?

01:20:59.000 Is it right there, right?

01:21:00.000 So people who stay away from, you know, from the junky hangouts and all the rest of it, it's not in front of them so they're less likely to relapse.

01:21:09.000 That's the one thing we do know about it, right?

01:21:12.000 We are force-fed, I mean this country force-feeds people with...

01:21:18.000 A bewildering array of potential addictions, whether it's to compound interest or competitive sort of consumer purchases, TVs, cars.

01:21:30.000 I mean, none of you own your cars!

01:21:32.000 None of you own your car!

01:21:33.000 I've never bought a car In any way other than outright and in cash.

01:21:39.000 And in this country, people burn money jumping from car to car, like saying goodbye to 20 grand each time, and making endless repayments that will never be fully paid down.

01:21:50.000 I mean, your whole life is enslaved to interest, to people who don't do anything for the money they make, which is usury, which is a sin.

01:22:00.000 You know, people who are entirely parasitic.

01:22:02.000 I mean the basis of value in the economy is human labor, right?

01:22:07.000 It's people doing stuff.

01:22:10.000 These industries that are designed to profit without effort.

01:22:16.000 There's a reason that the church, you know, Regardless, this is sinister and sinful because it is. 0.99

01:22:21.000 And the manner in which we are presented, I mean, you know, I think that mostly what people said about video games in the 80s and 90s was stupid. 1.00

01:22:31.000 And what people said about Marilyn Manson was like pretty stupid. 0.99

01:22:34.000 But the religious right was pretty bang on about everything else. 0.99

01:22:37.000 Now, however, when you consider as part of the overall kind of junk food, drink, prescription drugs.

01:22:46.000 I can't, it's a wonder that, I mean, I think every American basically has two of the ten categories that they're wrestling with, you know?

01:22:53.000 But Klaus Schwab, yeah.

01:22:54.000 This is not normal.

01:22:55.000 This is not normal.

01:22:55.000 This is an abusive relationship.

01:22:58.000 And so I'll be quick, I'm sorry.

01:23:02.000 In just the same way that many of these cultural problems have come from women's suffrage, the failure of institutions to protect people is a result of American independence because When you throw away the monarch, you don't really just get rid of him.

01:23:21.000 You make space for something else to move in.

01:23:24.000 And you might not have control over that.

01:23:26.000 So America is now in a position where they are ruled more brutally and more savagely and more abusively than any monarch in living memory anywhere in the world.

01:23:34.000 But they don't know the names of the people who are doing it to them.

01:23:37.000 It's the central banks, it's the Federal Reserve, that's for sure.

01:23:40.000 Certainly they're a part of it.

01:23:42.000 But what instead you have is the empty pomp and circumstance of the 4th of July.

01:23:46.000 This rippling flag.

01:23:48.000 Why do you love the flag so much?

01:23:49.000 Because there's room to hide behind it.

01:23:51.000 And the people who are really running the show, whose names none of us will ever learn, are what moved in instead of having a king.

01:24:00.000 And people will differ on this very violently.

01:24:04.000 I appreciate that.

01:24:05.000 I'll probably take a minority view on this.

01:24:07.000 When we think about how the earthly order should reflect the heavenly order, that's the sort of basis of legitimacy of the papacy and the monarchy, right?

01:24:18.000 The way that societies are ordered reflects the heavenly order and conforms to nature and our nature, the way that we were designed, the way that we work.

01:24:30.000 And those are the best and happiest systems to live under.

01:24:34.000 They work the best.

01:24:36.000 The removal of the monarch from the top and then these kind of weird self-sabotaging things like, we're just going to trust that everybody's going to be Christian. 0.80

01:24:47.000 So we'll outsource morality to Christianity and we'll give people these extraordinary freedoms that don't exist anywhere else that wreck society unless the whole population is Christian, right? 1.00

01:24:56.000 You cannot give people the First and Second Amendment unless they're Christian. 1.00

01:24:58.000 You just can't.

01:25:00.000 Because only with that kind of incredible reverence for the sanctity of life can you trust people with weapons of war.

01:25:08.000 And only with the responsibility that comes with knowing that you have to go to confession for lying can you be trusted with freedom to say anything without consequence.

01:25:16.000 I agree with your statement on second.

01:25:18.000 I think that the founding father's perspective on society dictated their view of why everyone should be armed.

01:25:25.000 They trusted each other.

01:25:26.000 They all thought each other had some fear of doing wrong.

01:25:30.000 I just don't think they anticipated that the society would become godless.

01:25:34.000 I think, you know, we're talking about 1700s, right?

01:25:37.000 I mean, you're living in the wake of the King James Bible, which changes everything.

01:25:46.000 Because it's, you know, people sometimes try to like demean it by saying it's the greatest work of literature in history which is, you know, true but stop.

01:25:58.000 The way that America's founding documents are phrased and the way that the founders spoke is heavily, heavily influenced to the point of dictated by the language and the style of the King James Bible which came out in the early 1600s, right?

01:26:12.000 So, when this country is founded in the wake of this extraordinary moment, unique in the history of ideas, where one book changes everything and defines everything that follows it.

01:26:28.000 I don't know.

01:26:28.000 Did they ever imagine?

01:26:29.000 I mean, when they enshrined freedom of religion, they were thinking about just, like, making sure that Protestant denominations weren't at each other's throats.

01:26:37.000 They weren't intending for Ilhan Omar to come in and say some people did some thing, and for her to be sitting in Congress, allegedly from a family involved in very ugly things in her home country of Somalia.

01:26:50.000 She couldn't possibly have sought election in this country for virtuous reasons.

01:26:56.000 I can't imagine what they would have been.

01:26:57.000 This is not what was intended.

01:26:59.000 And that's, you know, this ugly phrase, Christian nationalism, that people are so afraid of. 0.89

01:27:05.000 What it really is, in my view, is a restitution of the original vision for America, but with a few more safeguards in place.

01:27:15.000 So it's an acknowledgment that this country doesn't work without Christianity. 0.59

01:27:21.000 It falls to pieces, and it is falling to pieces, thanks to godlessness.

01:27:25.000 Why?

01:27:25.000 Because those understandings of the proper places and roles and functions of things aren't in the law anywhere.

01:27:32.000 They exist in common law and in tradition and in custom in Europe, but this break, this rupture that happens with the sedition and getting rid of the king resets the clock in America and there's none of those things to draw on. 0.99

01:27:46.000 And just trusting that people are going to stay Christian and therefore be nice to each other was stupid. 1.00

01:27:52.000 One thing I don't necessarily agree with is that there's a statement, you know, we're made in the image of God, the universe is like, we're like fractals of reality, so like there's one God, hence one monarch, and that is natural. 0.99

01:28:03.000 I don't know any Christians who talk about fractals of reality.

01:28:05.000 Oh, it's just scientific, you know, observations.

01:28:07.000 Do you do a lot of LSD?

01:28:09.000 Not a lot, but I have a habit.

01:28:10.000 A little bit.

01:28:11.000 That's a yes.

01:28:12.000 Keep your dosages low enough to stay sane, my friends.

01:28:15.000 A very dear friend of mine who's a very gifted photographer does little micro doses of LSD and he has a similar phrasing to you on that.

01:28:23.000 Oh, cool.

01:28:24.000 Well, what I'm thinking is... You see, everybody thinks that they have this extraordinary unique experience that turns them into a genius, but they all sound exactly the same.

01:28:31.000 I'm just kidding, I'm sorry.

01:28:32.000 Okay, oh, so there's one God that I agree that there is in one sense one overarching magnetic field or whatever the hell God is but then there's also within that it can be broken down to do infinite gods all Infinite fields creating one mega field so in that sense we could have one king or we could have a decentralized system of many many local leaders and I think you've broken your brain.

01:28:54.000 Well, it's two ways of looking at one thing.

01:28:55.000 This sounds like astrology for men.

01:28:59.000 What LSD does in creating those new connections in the brain which produce the, you know, moments of inspiration is it disorders the established pathways.

01:29:10.000 And while it's thrilling and exciting and can make people sound very interesting, it also gets in the way of critical thinking because your There's a sort of – people have done a lot of LSD.

01:29:26.000 They have this infatuation with this way they see the world now.

01:29:28.000 They think they've got this insight that nobody else has into the nature of reality when actually they're just confused by a bunch of things being stuck together.

01:29:38.000 I agree.

01:29:39.000 Have you done LSD?

01:29:39.000 No, most definitely not.

01:29:41.000 You should do it before you talk about it.

01:29:43.000 I don't need to kill someone.

01:29:47.000 There are things that I'm happy to trust that I shouldn't try.

01:29:52.000 That's another thing about women's suffrage. 1.00

01:29:56.000 It's a kind of violation of the innocence of women that men are so attracted to.

01:30:00.000 I mean the soil that nourishes that protective instinct is the purity and innocence of young women who are unsullied by the ugliness of the world.

01:30:11.000 And men can go out and be reckless and wreck their brains and make terrible mistakes and all the rest of it, but when you inject women into a sphere that that they're not created to flourish in. 0.97

01:30:29.000 It does something inexcusable to them.

01:30:31.000 It is an imposition on them that I think that we owe them an enormous apology for, and we should try to set it right.

01:30:39.000 What you said earlier I found very interesting, but I would even, in some instances, go even further, because you talked about godlessness.

01:30:46.000 I would say there's even elements of just pure Satanism.

01:30:48.000 In our society, in our establishment, especially when you look at people like Jeffrey Epstein, when you look at all the celebrities, when you look at all the occult stuff.

01:30:55.000 The rappers are doing satanic rituals on stage.

01:30:59.000 There's blood sacrifices.

01:31:02.000 Lady Gaga leaves a bathtub of blood in her hotel room, but that's a whole other topic before even getting there. 1.00

01:31:08.000 But also, I want to talk about what you said about institutions, because you said institutions aren't protecting people.

01:31:13.000 I would even go as far as to say that the institutions are attacking people, especially when it comes to their way of life, especially what they incentivize.

01:31:20.000 And I think it's the institutions that are a problem.

01:31:23.000 So how do we go back to this?

01:31:25.000 We've given ourselves AIDS, so the white blood cells that should protect us are attacking us instead.

01:31:29.000 Exactly.

01:31:30.000 So how do we fix this problem?

01:31:32.000 Because it seems like a lot of the solutions you have is, okay, let's support Trump.

01:31:36.000 Let's support these strong institutions.

01:31:37.000 These institutions are corrupted.

01:31:39.000 How do we fix these institutions?

01:31:41.000 How do we make them work for us again?

01:31:42.000 America is doomed without a reversal of the sedition that sealed its fate.

01:31:46.000 Which is?

01:31:48.000 American independence.

01:31:49.000 I'm afraid to say it's all encoded in Sounds like something a British person would say.

01:31:53.000 Yes, it does.

01:31:55.000 But there's a reason I'm here and not there.

01:31:57.000 It's because I like it here better.

01:31:59.000 And I want America to succeed and to win, and it would have done so better as a member of the Commonwealth in good standing.

01:32:10.000 It might not have had some of the remarkable financial successes such as they are, but I can't really imagine in 500 years people are going to be discussing the real housewives of Atlanta.

01:32:27.000 I don't know that the lasting legacy of America is going to be particularly valuable compared to other empires that have been as grand, as rich and as long-lasting.

01:32:39.000 Somebody wrote an essay, I forget now because I'm old, but one of your viewers will know I'm sure.

01:32:45.000 About polarity and the fact that for a long time we lived in a unipolar world, right?

01:32:51.000 Where America was kind of the tentpole. 0.51

01:32:54.000 I think the effect of that has been unquestionably damaging and destructive.

01:33:00.000 And it might not be such a bad thing for us to return to a multipolar world with multiple perhaps competing superpowers.

01:33:09.000 Well, there are other visions of what a good life looks like.

01:33:13.000 I mean, Putin is obviously, personally, a deeply unpleasant and maybe even hideously evil person, depending on how much you believe of what he's supposed to have done.

01:33:23.000 But there's something very exciting about the way he talks about cultural issues.

01:33:27.000 And it's wounding when he is savage about the failures of the West because he's right about so much of it.

01:33:34.000 And it's easy to do from there and, you know, there's all kinds of horrors in Russia.

01:33:38.000 I mean, you can't even get your mail delivered without bribing the mailman.

01:33:40.000 I mean, it's like practically that bad.

01:33:42.000 I mean, Russia is not really a functioning society without, you know, it's like Greece really. 0.95

01:33:47.000 I mean, anything done at all, you need a lot of cash.

01:33:50.000 It's, you know, it's all kinds of problems.

01:33:55.000 I think something that Russia has preserved that the West hasn't is the high standard of public discourse, the tone of which is like typically set by the Prime Minister, the President, the Monarch.

01:34:10.000 When Vladimir Putin speaks to the Russian people, he does so in grand historical terms that nobody in the West has done for 50 years or more.

01:34:19.000 When you compare it to the witless prattle of most American presidents in that time, the pathetic pandering of most European leaders, We have become captives of this feminized discourse that treats everybody. 0.82

01:34:42.000 What is the reason for the nannying culture? 0.96

01:34:44.000 This intrusive, invasive, and destructive thing?

01:34:51.000 It's the feminization of culture that seeks to control what everybody says and everybody does not want to say. 1.00

01:34:56.000 That's, you know, the primary problem in America is not race, it's between the sexes, because the sexes have completely failed to fulfill their promise and their obligations. 1.00

01:35:06.000 Men and women now alike, admittedly, probably, original sin being the men's, you know, a failure of duty. 0.69

01:35:13.000 But men and women are now completely failing to perform their rightful functions.

01:35:17.000 And so in a globalized information economy where words are powerful, well, that's the arena of women, you know, words are a woman's weapon. 1.00

01:35:25.000 So women wield this kind of like outsized influence and ability in social media and all the rest of it. 1.00

01:35:31.000 So these become very, very heavily policed, very feminine places really fast. 0.68

01:35:37.000 Because, I mean, you know, the way that men typically settle things, I can't talk about in the podcast, but it's a bit different.

01:35:43.000 Or at least there's a kind of bubbling, underlying, ever-present threat of something else when men are talking, you know?

01:35:52.000 But women use language very differently and that's what we see now, how everybody talks now. 1.00

01:35:56.000 I'm so struck by The way that, you know, Matthew Arnold said that everybody, no matter where they come from, working class, living in a trailer, they deserve to be exposed to the very best that has been thought and written.

01:36:09.000 We need to go to Super Chats.

01:36:11.000 Take questions from... That seems to be what Putin is doing. 0.99

01:36:13.000 Our leaders, on the other hand, infantilizing us because they want us dumb and dependent. 0.98

01:36:17.000 And we're very close to collapse. 0.98

01:36:19.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats!

01:36:20.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com, because we're gonna have the Uncensored show coming up at about 11pm, and I imagine you're not going to want to miss it.

01:36:33.000 Have I done well?

01:36:35.000 Very well!

01:36:35.000 Have I been good?

01:36:37.000 I've been just panic-stricken the whole time.

01:36:40.000 No, no, it was absolutely fantastic.

01:36:41.000 Worst night of my life.

01:36:42.000 I'm having a terrible time.

01:36:44.000 It was a great discussion.

01:36:45.000 We didn't agree on something.

01:36:46.000 I'm glad you like it because I'm just sitting here hoping that I don't say something.

01:36:52.000 Welcome to our world.

01:36:53.000 Welcome to my world.

01:36:55.000 Let's read the Super Chats. 0.92

01:36:56.000 Everything in its right place.

01:36:58.000 Some people, you know, to be really... Sorry, I promise I'll be really quick.

01:37:03.000 You know, it is the Christian way to reform from within, right?

01:37:08.000 In other religious traditions, that's like the blow it up, burn it all down.

01:37:14.000 The terrorism is... I'm not talking about any... Well, I'm talking about two specific religions. 0.75

01:37:19.000 Terrorism is a characteristic of other religions. 1.00

01:37:24.000 Historically, the Christian way of improving, fixing things, has been to reform from within, right?

01:37:31.000 So that's, for instance, what Marjorie does in Congress. 1.00

01:37:36.000 You know, she's on enemy territory every day. 0.97

01:37:38.000 But she does there what you do here. 1.00

01:37:40.000 And I have great respect for that project.

01:37:42.000 I don't mean to speak disrespectfully about it if I did, because I know I couldn't do it.

01:37:47.000 But no, it's everything in its right place, you know?

01:37:50.000 So you're doing what you need to do over there.

01:37:52.000 And I'm doing what I need to do.

01:37:54.000 We'll explain it in the after show.

01:37:56.000 Alright, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:37:58.000 says, Mr. Poole, your positivity this morning was welcomed.

01:38:01.000 Early water cooler talk was somber here in PA.

01:38:04.000 We were nervous to start anyways.

01:38:06.000 But a win is a win, and we can't fix this mess overnight, so gracias.

01:38:10.000 Yeah.

01:38:11.000 I mean, as Milo pointed out, many people wanted revenge, and I think... They were counting on it.

01:38:18.000 They were counting on it.

01:38:19.000 Because they were promised it.

01:38:20.000 But they can... And they were betrayed.

01:38:21.000 They don't gotta cry about having a win, though.

01:38:23.000 I mean, it's not the win they wanted.

01:38:27.000 I think it's wrong of you to trivialize it as people being crybabies when they have a justifiable grievance. 0.65

01:38:36.000 I'd say they were being crybabies.

01:38:38.000 Well, you know, you sort of suddenly cry about it in a sort of dismissive way.

01:38:42.000 I received that as a type of tone.

01:38:43.000 I don't have to cry about a win.

01:38:44.000 Yeah, of course you do.

01:38:47.000 Because if it's just part of the ordinary pattern and you know that you have been actively betrayed by people that you place in power to look after you, you have a justified grievance.

01:38:58.000 Offense and outrage are not dirty words.

01:39:00.000 They have been systematically misused by bad people for a long time.

01:39:03.000 But when you have a valid grievance, it is right and proper to feel aggrieved.

01:39:09.000 And I don't think people are crying about it.

01:39:10.000 I think they're furious.

01:39:11.000 And they're right.

01:39:13.000 The metaphor I get is like if you're gambling on a sports ball game and you're like, I'll take the Eagles by 16.

01:39:19.000 You need them to win by 16.

01:39:21.000 Even though the Eagles win by three, you still feel like you didn't win, even though the Eagles won.

01:39:25.000 The difference is that in our model, all the games are fixed and the coach promised you they'd do 16.

01:39:31.000 That's what we're living in, you know?

01:39:34.000 In the Mafia version of the sport, the outcome is predetermined, and you've been promised an outcome, and you've placed a bet on the basis of that outcome.

01:39:41.000 If that outcome doesn't happen, you have been betrayed, and you are right to feel angry, and you are right to seek vengeance.

01:39:46.000 All right, we got Rusta who says, Love the show!

01:39:49.000 Was wondering your thoughts on the theory of companies such as Ford, Chevy, and other car manufacturers pulling Twitter ads in order to hurt Tesla, as Elon used it as collateral in his purchase of Twitter.

01:39:59.000 I think it's nice that Elon Musk is doing a real business instead of some, you know, sort of outreach of the state.

01:40:08.000 I mean all of his previous businesses have been... It is still outreach of the state.

01:40:15.000 The government runs numerous bot accounts for public manipulation, and he's now... You're right, it is.

01:40:21.000 But specifically in the financial... He's always had enormous publicly funded cushions.

01:40:31.000 Although, to be fair, Tesla doesn't have them, while other EV manufacturers do, because Tesla's... Carbon selling.

01:40:38.000 Yeah, the situation is more complicated than I'm suggesting now, and he doesn't get a lot of benefits that other people do, but he would never have got any of those businesses off the ground without being, you know, effectively a colossal welfare queen.

01:40:53.000 But I think it's audacious and brave and self-sacrificing, and I think that's what people admire about this, is that it has cost him something to do this.

01:41:04.000 That's why people like Trump too, and it's another reason that DeSantis can't beat him.

01:41:08.000 Because he's having hundreds of millions of dollars poured into his coffers by the worst people in the world.

01:41:14.000 Meanwhile, Trump's life is irrevocably wrecked by the sacrifice that he made to become president.

01:41:20.000 I think people see that.

01:41:21.000 I think people admire that.

01:41:23.000 And with Elon Musk, this is the first time I think he's done something somewhat selfless.

01:41:27.000 I want to know who these individuals are.

01:41:29.000 We'll talk about that later.

01:41:30.000 Well, let's read.

01:41:31.000 CodeWriter says, Milo speaks the truth so directly, correctly, and unapologetically.

01:41:36.000 This is why he was banned.

01:41:37.000 This is what we need.

01:41:38.000 This is why we love him.

01:41:39.000 Thank you.

01:41:41.000 Well, I'm sorry I'm in retirement, but if... Well, maybe I'm not.

01:41:45.000 I don't know.

01:41:45.000 I don't know if I...

01:41:46.000 I don't know if I think I would be profoundly miserable trying to operate in this environment, so you will have to see me now and again in controlled contexts and dream about what it might have been like.

01:42:02.000 Or check out the Uncensored show after the live portion.

01:42:05.000 Oscar says, Milo, I started being political thanks to you, and hearing you speak again makes me understand why I loved watching you.

01:42:11.000 You summed up how I felt 100% to the T with your commentary just now on this.

01:42:16.000 They won't all be compliments, will they?

01:42:17.000 That's very boring.

01:42:20.000 You won't know this about me, but I can't abide flattery.

01:42:25.000 No, thank you for being kind.

01:42:26.000 I'm responsible for a lot of bad things in the past, particularly the kind of ugly band of imitators at Turning Point.

01:42:37.000 I've given birth to a lot of ugly things unwittingly.

01:42:40.000 I'm trying to make amends for that behind the scenes.

01:42:44.000 I hope that by the time I fall asleep forever that I will have left a good impression on the world and it will be slightly better.

01:42:56.000 At least that people will smile a little more than the way things were when I arrived.

01:43:01.000 I'm doing a reasonable job so far.

01:43:05.000 Alright, Kyle Miller says, as someone who voted for Trump twice, I think it is time to move on.

01:43:09.000 Mainstream media has tainted his image and now toxic to voters, DeSantis 2024.

01:43:14.000 His favorability is the same as Hillary Clinton in some polls.

01:43:17.000 It saddens me to see people with lack of faith like that.

01:43:24.000 I think if you loved Trump, you should remind yourself of why and consider how much you really care about Trump's name being toxified by the media.

01:43:34.000 Sounds like you have capitulated to the enemy narratives and accepted Criticisms of Trump actually don't matter at all.

01:43:43.000 All that matters about Trump is if people love him and vote for him, he will be president.

01:43:48.000 It doesn't matter what the New York Times thinks about him.

01:43:49.000 They never liked him.

01:43:51.000 I think legitimate criticisms matter because they can make him better and I think he should have his feet held to the fire for doing so many wrong things.

01:43:57.000 Your closest friends should be your harshest critics.

01:43:59.000 Exactly.

01:44:00.000 And when we get into the next bit of the show, I have some things to say about that.

01:44:03.000 Okay.

01:44:07.000 If you abandon the one person who imperfectly, and perhaps disappointingly, at least tried to break up the abusive stitch-up that is the prevailing American hegemony, sounds like you've got the country you deserve, mate.

01:44:28.000 Alright.

01:44:29.000 P. Scully says, I'm a one-issue voter, avoiding World War III.

01:44:33.000 Trump is the only politician I am certain would tell NATO to F off.

01:44:36.000 The establishment lining up around DeSantis wouldn't do so if he has a hard line with regards to Ukraine.

01:44:42.000 DeSantis will declare war on someone on day one.

01:44:45.000 He is enabled and funded and supported by all the same old people who have done this time and again. 0.99

01:44:55.000 Trump is the only president in living memory who didn't start a new war.

01:44:59.000 There are things that I'm really intensely disappointed with about Trump, but one that I can say in an uncomplicated way, I'm delighted with, Is that he did not initiate more widespread needless human suffering for the benefit not of some nebulous American democratic project, but really to enrich Walmart.

01:45:24.000 You know, dropping bombs on Riyadh so that people can drop oxy back home. 0.98

01:45:30.000 Not buying into the fiction and corruption of this theater that we're presented with, this illusion that we're sold, and refusing to start a new war is maybe the best thing and the most Christian thing and the most important thing he did.

01:45:43.000 But what he did to Yemen, I think, was absolutely disgusting.

01:45:47.000 What did he do?

01:45:49.000 He was a part of the Saudi coalition that was bombing Saudi Arabia, that was bombing, excuse me, Yemen in favor of the, against the Houthi rebels working with al-Qaeda.

01:45:58.000 Let me read this one.

01:46:00.000 Stephen Bachmeier says, Milo is a good hype man, but not a good convincer of those of us unconvinced of Trump.

01:46:06.000 I'm convinced Milo is paid to talk up Trump.

01:46:09.000 The irony of what he's saying about DeSantis supporters.

01:46:13.000 So it's been discovered that people who have a standard deviation difference in IQ are effectively not really able to communicate with one another.

01:46:21.000 They sort of talk past each other.

01:46:22.000 And they're sort of, like they say about Britain and America, kind of divided by a common language.

01:46:28.000 So, I'm sorry that you're not able to grasp what I'm trying to express. 1.00

01:46:34.000 That was a very eloquent way of saying, you're dumb. 0.99

01:46:38.000 Perhaps you'd be happier at the Daily Wire, I don't know. 1.00

01:46:43.000 Oh, the digs, the digs.

01:46:44.000 Standard deviation being ten points.

01:46:45.000 I'm trying to be nice.

01:46:46.000 I don't know how to be nice.

01:46:47.000 He said personal invective is banned.

01:46:49.000 I don't know any other way to communicate.

01:46:51.000 You're doing a great job!

01:46:53.000 That was actually more hurtful, the way you put it.

01:46:56.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:46:56.000 And funnier.

01:46:57.000 That will leave a mark.

01:46:59.000 All right, let's see.

01:47:00.000 Christopher says, question for Milo.

01:47:01.000 Who is the Democratic nominee in 2024, and how long do you think, realistically, until things get to how you want them?

01:47:08.000 I'm not optimistic enough to believe in a Fetterman presidency.

01:47:13.000 Michael Malice was calling for him.

01:47:15.000 I was calling for him too, like weeks ago.

01:47:17.000 Listen, I think America could do with taking itself just a little bit less seriously sometimes.

01:47:23.000 And these kind of elaborate codes of behavior that remind me of, you know, Versailles under the Louis, of all these people orbiting power except there's nothing in the middle of it.

01:47:34.000 You know, at least under monarchies, people were competing for the favor of the king.

01:47:38.000 In America, there's nothing there.

01:47:39.000 There's no there there.

01:47:40.000 It's just a flag and then you pick it and there's, you know, nothing.

01:47:44.000 A bank.

01:47:48.000 Sorry, what was the question?

01:47:49.000 Well, who do you think would be the Democratic nominee?

01:47:50.000 So what I was going to say is, you know, the Senate is a sinister and boring place full of sinister and boring people.

01:47:58.000 It should, I think, reinvent itself more along the lines of the upper houses that it was founded to imitate and be full of quirky eccentrics who, together, In a messy way, you know, approximate the mood and the spirit of the nation, and together kind of safeguard against un-American laws, you know, from a variety of different quirky perspectives.

01:48:21.000 I think Fetterman's going to be harmless, and I find him adorable.

01:48:25.000 And frankly, I think the more people with mental shortcomings in the Senate, the better, because less harm they can do.

01:48:36.000 So what you're saying is Pete Buttigieg 2024.

01:48:39.000 No, he's a different kind of... Biden-Fetterman 2024.

01:48:45.000 Buttigieg is a particular kind of problem because he's somebody, very average intelligence, who cannot be persuaded that he isn't a genius.

01:48:55.000 And those people are very dangerous because they are beyond the reach of reality and reason.

01:49:02.000 They're convinced of their own special place in history.

01:49:06.000 And, you know, I hope that he will go down as a joke and a footnote and it looks like that's the case.

01:49:14.000 But people who are maybe even, you know, not entirely there because they've gone through something awful or they've had some kind of, you know, catastrophic brain injury or whatever.

01:49:25.000 I don't mind the idea of a quirky committee of national treasures who somehow kind of coalesce and protect the country against itself, because although they're all wacky and weird and peculiar, somehow the sum total of them safeguards what America is.

01:49:44.000 That's what the House of Lords was always supposed to be in Britain.

01:49:47.000 They kind of wrecked it now.

01:49:48.000 That's what the Senate was supposed to be here, sort of.

01:49:50.000 That's what the Senate is modeled on.

01:49:52.000 Not this soulless, grim, sinister, secret club of backroom dealers.

01:50:01.000 I think the Senate should become more colorful.

01:50:03.000 I think it should have more personality.

01:50:05.000 And if Fetterman is the first step towards that, I welcome it.

01:50:07.000 All right.

01:50:07.000 Ian King says, Tim, just bought your song.

01:50:09.000 Would love to see you do something with independent artists like Adam Calhoun, Ryan Upchurch, or Tom MacDonald, as well as see them on the podcast.

01:50:17.000 I'd love to have them on the podcast.

01:50:18.000 That would be an honor.

01:50:20.000 Tom MacDonald put out a new song called Fighter.

01:50:21.000 It's such a good song.

01:50:23.000 It is 10 out of 10.

01:50:24.000 It's one of the best songs I think he's done.

01:50:26.000 It's my favorite of all of his songs, and he just put it out.

01:50:28.000 I was really impressed.

01:50:29.000 It's good.

01:50:30.000 So, you know, I've talked with Tom periodically.

01:50:33.000 He's an amazing guy.

01:50:34.000 I would love to have him on the show.

01:50:35.000 He's a busy guy.

01:50:36.000 And it would be epic if we were able to put a song together.

01:50:39.000 I don't want to say too much, but keep dreaming and keep imagining what you think may be happening.

01:50:45.000 But, you know, I'm talking with Tom.

01:50:46.000 We'll see.

01:50:47.000 We'll see where it goes.

01:50:48.000 Be really cool to have him on the show.

01:50:49.000 If you say don't stop believing, I'm leaving.

01:50:52.000 Don't stop believing.

01:50:53.000 Restraint.

01:50:54.000 I'm too lazy to get up.

01:50:55.000 You win.

01:50:57.000 All right.

01:50:58.000 Rando Bunderson says... I had to say it after you said that.

01:51:01.000 You're right.

01:51:02.000 Rando Bunderson says, heard a lot about Milo but never heard him speak before.

01:51:05.000 Is this what D&D characters with 20 charisma sound like?

01:51:08.000 Yes, they're all compliments, Milo.

01:51:11.000 I actually understand that compliment.

01:51:13.000 Thank you, thank you.

01:51:15.000 I like how you pointed out that you thought DeSantis has low charisma, because if he was a D&D character, I think he has like average charisma.

01:51:20.000 Oh no, he's like a damp sponge.

01:51:25.000 Something clammy and unpleasant that you find your hand accidentally touches when you're thrusting about for a mug.

01:51:35.000 You see, these are way more hurtful and funnier than direct insults.

01:51:39.000 I agree to disagree. 0.99

01:51:44.000 I think we've moved past the period of debate and the mask of manners, and I think we're in shut-up-stupid-you-know-what territory in culture at the moment. 0.99

01:51:54.000 But we'll talk about that later. 0.98

01:51:56.000 Now, look, there was a particular group of people who were dressing as DeSantis this

01:52:04.000 Halloween.

01:52:06.000 Women who like women.

01:52:09.000 And it was clear that in picking their outfits they'd merely selected from their own wardrobe.

01:52:15.000 And it was uncanny.

01:52:16.000 and I've never really been able to see him the same twice.

01:52:18.000 You know, it's, um, he's, he's...

01:52:22.000 I'm sorry, he just ain't it.

01:52:24.000 And if you have allowed despair and the demoralization techniques

01:52:31.000 that you are being pummeled with to...

01:52:35.000 except a lesser substitute that cannot possibly hope to fix the deep spiritual crisis that this country is in, then I'm sorry for you, but you're part of the problem, so you should just get out of the way.

01:52:49.000 Next, The Slayer says, wait, what?

01:52:51.000 Mary Poppins agreed with the father's virtues.

01:52:53.000 Spoonful of Sugar was to point out that rewards can help reinforce the important but sometimes bitter truths the father wanted to impart.

01:53:01.000 She wears a shallow mask of manners.

01:53:05.000 She presents in just the same way that cultural subversives always do.

01:53:11.000 They present as a functioning member of the prevailing order.

01:53:15.000 But what she does is intensely subversive. 0.68

01:53:18.000 I mean, she recommends witchcraft as a solution to chores, right?

01:53:24.000 There's a reason that, you know, humble and unassuming people consider their daily duties to be character forming, because they are.

01:53:33.000 They have intuited something that Aristotle understood, which is that habits become character.

01:53:39.000 I want to say I agree with you and disagree with this point.

01:53:42.000 A spoonful of sugar implies that you should be rewarded for doing what you're supposed to do.

01:53:46.000 Bribing you for doing what you're supposed to do anyway?

01:53:48.000 With addictive drug, by the way.

01:53:49.000 Sugar's bad! 0.92

01:53:49.000 With sugar, listen, sugar's bad! 0.92

01:53:51.000 When we go to the movie theater, and we drench ourselves in fat, salt, and sugar,

01:53:59.000 and stare at an electric light on the wall, We are hypnotizing ourself and the closest thing that our society has to a sort of pagan ritual.

01:54:08.000 You probably love it.

01:54:09.000 No, I'm not.

01:54:09.000 We're gonna go see Wakanda forever tomorrow.

01:54:11.000 He's, uh...

01:54:12.000 No, I'm not.

01:54:13.000 I'll pass.

01:54:14.000 Um, you know, what was interesting about that film is...

01:54:17.000 Screw that CIA propaganda.

01:54:19.000 What was interesting about that whole series, which I liked, is that they made the woke guy the villain.

01:54:24.000 You know, he's a bad guy.

01:54:27.000 And also, that movie was very distinctively African, not black.

01:54:32.000 And I noticed a lot of American, like, woke black activists trying really hard to like it, while also not quite getting it.

01:54:39.000 Not at all.

01:54:39.000 And growing up in Europe, and I was surrounded by, you know, West Indian Africans, Jamaicans, and, you know, Nigerians.

01:54:45.000 I've been to Africa, as most of the fans of that movie haven't.

01:54:48.000 Um, and so I was able to, you know, appreciate a lot of, um, what they were seeking to accomplish in this, in this, you know, I noticed about that film, it didn't do the easy and obvious things, right?

01:55:01.000 It was very distinctively African, which was a big risk because American blacks don't know anything about African culture and Africans are very, 0.99

01:55:10.000 they have some real choice opinions about American people.

01:55:13.000 There's Africans from South Africa.

01:55:15.000 I'm from South Africa.

01:55:16.000 Okay, so you understand.

01:55:16.000 Yeah, I do.

01:55:17.000 So that was a risk and then they make the woke guy the genocidal villain.

01:55:23.000 So I actually didn't mind that first movie and I could see a lot of bad people

01:55:28.000 kind of performing fandom and not really, but also they didn't love it like they loved Endgame.

01:55:35.000 I actually thought the movie was intelligent and interesting.

01:55:37.000 I agree.

01:55:39.000 T'Challa, the main character, wants closed borders.

01:55:42.000 He says, if we open up our borders, they'll bring their problems into our country and we don't want that.

01:55:46.000 Not to mention, it was a patriarchal society where women weren't allowed to rule and you won your realm. 0.99

01:55:53.000 Well, they fixed that in the sequel, don't worry.

01:55:55.000 But you win your rule through trial by combat.

01:55:57.000 That's an offense that cannot be allowed to stand.

01:55:59.000 Like Thor, who was too masculine for his own good and had to be turned into a fat joke to reclaim the... Like most men on TV.

01:56:06.000 Let me read this next one.

01:56:07.000 Douglas Kaplan says, Milo, have you heard of Frank Turek?

01:56:12.000 He is pretty good explaining evidence for Christ.

01:56:14.000 Also, Tim, it seems people here near me are getting used to shootings.

01:56:17.000 I was near one today as I was delivering car parts near Carnegie PA.

01:56:21.000 Wow, crazy.

01:56:22.000 I think that the shootings, I think your impression of the frequency of shootings, I mean everybody seems to notice they're sort of happening a bit more often.

01:56:30.000 The press just reports selectively as per their priorities on any given day.

01:56:35.000 I mean if I had to guess I would imagine that they're getting more frequent.

01:56:41.000 There's definitely a pharmaceutical component to that.

01:56:45.000 You know, there are some systemic root causes that all come back to the things we've been talking about.

01:56:52.000 Mostly fatherlessness.

01:56:54.000 You know, in a completely feminized culture with an endemic single mother. 1.00

01:57:01.000 I mean, most young men have no male role models.

01:57:04.000 And think about the people who were crowned male role models over the last 10 years.

01:57:10.000 Dylan Mulvaney.

01:57:11.000 Me, I was gay. 0.99

01:57:13.000 Jordan Peterson, a drug addict.

01:57:16.000 These are very, very damaged people in different ways, which just shows you how desperate this age is for heroes, right?

01:57:25.000 But there are role models everywhere you look.

01:57:26.000 You just have to work a bit harder.

01:57:28.000 I get so many emails from women who say, how should I vote? 1.00

01:57:31.000 I know this is outside my sphere.

01:57:34.000 And now I just say don't because, you know, it's the least you can do after, you know, everything.

01:57:38.000 Eden.

01:57:39.000 All right.

01:57:39.000 But there was this first part of his question.

01:57:43.000 Oh, do you know Frank Turek?

01:57:44.000 I know the name.

01:57:46.000 I'll check into that.

01:57:47.000 Thank you.

01:57:47.000 Makise Kurustina says, oh, okay.

01:57:51.000 I understand.

01:57:52.000 My grandmother was born in 1920 and lived to be 100. 0.97

01:57:55.000 She always said that the downfall of this country was giving the woman the vote. 1.00

01:57:59.000 Had 15 kids, never had a career, and said if every woman had her life, no one would complain.

01:58:05.000 Blissfully happy.

01:58:06.000 I bet that she was the happiest woman in the world.

01:58:08.000 And you'd be amazed at how many grandmothers, and it's specifically grandmothers who have the benefit of wisdom and are seeing secondary generations, right?

01:58:19.000 You'd be amazed how many grandmothers write to me and say you're absolutely right.

01:58:23.000 Do you think there's going to be a reckoning where these childless millennial women are 70 years old without families, that they're going to... I'm trying to be upset.

01:58:32.000 I'm going to try to persuade Marjorie to introduce a friend in need is a friend indeed act that removes the vote from people who are on antidepressant drugs. 0.52

01:58:42.000 Just sit back and enjoy the fallout, you know, half a Democrat base.

01:58:46.000 I don't want to incriminate her in that, there's no way she'll ever do that.

01:58:50.000 But I would pass a law that says that to care for the most vulnerable in our society we don't want to expose them to traumatic, stressful and triggering events like the high pressure environment of voting in elections.

01:59:06.000 Anxiety.

01:59:08.000 Aren't you on anti-anxiety medication?

01:59:10.000 So if you are one of those people and you've had a prescription for anxiety or depression medication in the last 12 months, we're going to ask you to sit this election out.

01:59:18.000 That would be an enjoyable fallout.

01:59:20.000 I'd like that.

01:59:21.000 Maury says, this episode is too based.

01:59:23.000 The amount of red-pilled truths being spoken here is insane.

01:59:26.000 There's a handful of people who are like, wow, Tim, Ian, and Luke aren't talking.

01:59:30.000 And there's two things I'll say to that.

01:59:32.000 One, what Milo was saying was interesting to hear your thoughts articulated as they were.

01:59:36.000 But also, it's been a while since people have heard from you and to hear your stance on things.

01:59:44.000 It's been a long time since you've spoken, and here you are speaking for quite a bit, explaining a lot of what you've seen over the past few years.

01:59:49.000 It feels like you've got to get a lot off your chest, and you haven't talked in how long?

01:59:52.000 Oh, I'm also just very rude, and I just bang on forever.

01:59:55.000 But it's interesting.

01:59:57.000 It works.

01:59:57.000 Most of it's good material, so people put up with me.

02:00:00.000 No, I'm just not a particularly courteous interlocutor.

02:00:03.000 But thanks.

02:00:04.000 We are going to head over to the Members Only show, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button and become a member at timcast.com.

02:00:12.000 Click join us, sign up.

02:00:14.000 We are going to have a Members Only show, and I imagine it's going to be very, very interesting because there's a lot that Milo's written.

02:00:20.000 I've got so many post-its with things that I'm not allowed to say.

02:00:24.000 I don't think you understand.

02:00:25.000 I have been living in fear.

02:00:27.000 I can't even read out what's on the post-it notes.

02:00:28.000 Well, we'll explain it.

02:00:29.000 We'll explain it and we'll show.

02:00:31.000 And then you know what I want to do?

02:00:31.000 I want to actually mail those out to people as post-it notes.

02:00:33.000 So, anyway.

02:00:35.000 Well, yeah, when you see them, you'll want to do that.

02:00:37.000 Become a member at TimCast.com.

02:00:39.000 And also, if you want to support us in our cultural endeavors, we released a song.

02:00:43.000 It's called Genocide. 0.62

02:00:44.000 It's available at LosingMyMind.com.

02:00:46.000 You can buy it on iTunes, Amazon, or wherever.

02:00:48.000 We were... A moment of uplifting mood fix for them?

02:00:52.000 Well, the song is... I mean, it is, in that we mock the establishment and we CG animated a bunch of journalists to sing words about how they're evil people.

02:01:01.000 It's called Genocide. 0.62

02:01:02.000 I confess to complete ignorance about the idiom you operate in because I can't tell songs apart in that particular genre.

02:01:09.000 But... Perhaps you could give me a smattering after the show.

02:01:13.000 Yeah, we'll show you.

02:01:14.000 And if you guys want to support us, tomorrow is the last day for billboard tracking in the first week, and we're hoping to have a bigger impact on the last song.

02:01:21.000 This one's overtly political, so it would be nice to have some kind of jab at the establishment making it to the charts with your support.

02:01:30.000 You can follow the show at TimCastIRL.

02:01:32.000 You can follow me at TimCast.

02:01:33.000 And I want to make sure I stress, I see a lot of people are becoming members on YouTube.

02:01:37.000 Not on YouTube.

02:01:38.000 Go to TimCast.com.

02:01:41.000 We have a private TimCast.com membership.

02:01:43.000 We can't post these videos on YouTube.

02:01:45.000 I see a lot of people are becoming members on YouTube.

02:01:47.000 So I will stress again, not YouTube membership.

02:01:50.000 That's not where the video will be.

02:01:51.000 You see what they've done to you?

02:01:52.000 They've put you in the position of a scolding.

02:01:54.000 Scolding?

02:01:54.000 How dare you?

02:01:56.000 Scolding the viewers who have invested in you the most.

02:01:59.000 I just want to make sure... See what they've done to you?

02:02:01.000 No, no, it's that people really want to hear the show, and if they're getting it from the wrong spot, they're going to be wondering where it is.

02:02:06.000 No, no, you're not doing anything.

02:02:07.000 I'm just stunned by the injustice and dysfunction of it.

02:02:12.000 We'll talk about it.

02:02:13.000 Milo, do you want to shout anything out?

02:02:15.000 No, no, no.

02:02:15.000 I'm quite happy being left alone.

02:02:17.000 Any last words of encouragement?

02:02:19.000 I'll go on forever, so I'll skip it.

02:02:21.000 You will.

02:02:21.000 But it was great and it was fascinating and a great conversation.

02:02:24.000 Thank you so much for coming.

02:02:26.000 My YouTube channel is youtube.com forward slash we are change.

02:02:28.000 We don't always agree.

02:02:29.000 I read all the chats and I love the debate.

02:02:32.000 Let's have that conversation.

02:02:34.000 I made a lot of arguments in my video today.

02:02:36.000 I also talked about what's happening with Twitter and Facebook.

02:02:39.000 Start the conversation.

02:02:40.000 Let's build up the biggest, what is it, steel man argument we can, and let's get at it.

02:02:46.000 YouTube.com forward slash WeAreChange.

02:02:48.000 Thank you so much for having me.

02:02:48.000 Actually, there was a small thing.

02:02:50.000 I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me.

02:02:52.000 Yeah.

02:02:53.000 Which is a choice out of step, let's say, with your guest booking strategy of late and

02:03:03.000 probably not without risk.

02:03:06.000 No problem.

02:03:07.000 I don't think so.

02:03:08.000 I think you're exactly the kind of person we hope to sit down and talk with.

02:03:10.000 I was in two minds about it because the lighting in here is so unflattering.

02:03:14.000 But I did get a fake tan, imperiling my recovery from homosexuality. 1.00

02:03:19.000 We'll have to talk about that too.

02:03:21.000 We should probably save that, yeah.

02:03:23.000 But yeah, Noah, thank you for doing it.

02:03:27.000 Oh, thanks for coming, man.

02:03:28.000 You have built something here that perhaps you can begin to activate the full potential of.

02:03:34.000 It's quite exciting, so thanks for having me.

02:03:36.000 Right on.

02:03:36.000 Thanks for coming, man.

02:03:37.000 That was great.

02:03:38.000 Uh, guys, you can follow me, Ian Crossland, if you want to, on the internet.
