The New York Times reports that the suspect in the attack in the capital is a supporter of the Nation of Islam, a group led by former leader Louis Farrakhan. What does this have to do with the ongoing culture war between the left and right?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 you you
00:00:41.000 you earlier today a man drove through the barricades in the
00:01:07.000 capital he He killed a cop.
00:01:10.000 He got shot.
00:01:11.000 He had a knife.
00:01:12.000 And, you know, all of this is still relatively breaking news.
00:01:14.000 They're saying they believe it's not terror-related, though many journalists are expressing skepticism.
00:01:20.000 Not that it is or isn't, but that isn't it a bit too soon.
00:01:23.000 And now we're getting information on the suspect, apparently a black nationalist, and that is from the New York Times.
00:01:29.000 It's not just my opinion.
00:01:30.000 They said that this man was a proponent of the Nation of Islam, a follower of Farrakhan, a vocal supporter, and they mentioned this is a black nationalist movement.
00:01:41.000 Apparently he had posted something on Instagram or Facebook that indicated he was very much a leftist identitarian.
00:01:48.000 And I'm not surprised this kind of thing is happening, but I'm still... I'm a bit unsurprised that they're going to try and downplay the politics on this one, because things have already been a bit chaotic in terms of left-right culture war, and the establishment seems to be very much deferential to and protective of leftist extremism, as we've seen.
00:02:08.000 So we're going to talk about all this, and it's very heavy stuff.
00:02:10.000 We do have a bunch of other stories.
00:02:12.000 Things are getting crazy in Crimea.
00:02:13.000 I mean, this is just... It's a heck of a Friday, right guys?
00:02:17.000 Joining us today is author, commentator, founder of Liberty Junkies, Julie Borowski.
00:02:23.000 Hello.
00:02:24.000 Do you want to just give a really short, quick introduction?
00:02:26.000 Hi, my name is Julie Borowski.
00:02:28.000 I'm a commentator, an author, and owner of libertyjunkies.com.
00:02:31.000 I'm also on YouTube, Julie Borowski.
00:02:34.000 Cool.
00:02:35.000 Right on.
00:02:36.000 And we got Ian Children.
00:02:37.000 Thank you, Tim.
00:02:38.000 Ian Crossland over here.
00:02:39.000 Hi, everyone.
00:02:40.000 Oh, yeah.
00:02:41.000 And you have me in the corner, pushing buttons, as always.
00:02:43.000 Sour Patch Lids.
00:02:44.000 Lydia, technically.
00:02:46.000 You know, normally we open, and it tends to be more humorous and jokey, and we let it draw out a little bit, but... You know, coming up here, we always go through the day trying to figure out what we're going to talk about, and what the stories are, and what's interesting.
00:03:01.000 And then you get something like what happens today, and it's scary stuff.
00:03:06.000 I mean, in any circumstance, if somebody crashed a car and, you know, got into it with cops, we probably wouldn't talk about that kind of thing, but this is hyper-political, in a hyper-polarized space.
00:03:16.000 And there's just so much to go through.
00:03:18.000 There's the establishment Democrat leftist type saying, clearly this was a white male.
00:03:22.000 It's exactly why Mitch McConnell was wrong.
00:03:24.000 They should have doubled down security.
00:03:26.000 And then you got all these demands for more security.
00:03:27.000 So it's just going to get rough.
00:03:29.000 Before we get started, I want you to consider one very important thing.
00:03:32.000 First go to TimCast.com, become a member, and YouTube absolutely frowns upon these kinds of conversations.
00:03:39.000 It is this kind of conversation that got me axed on Facebook.
00:03:42.000 No joke.
00:03:43.000 When everything went down on January 6th, I did a video just basically saying, here's what's happening, and they told me, you're out, and you're not allowed back in.
00:03:52.000 And I, okay, I guess.
00:03:55.000 But if I'm going to report the news, I'm going to report the news.
00:03:56.000 I didn't say anything against the rules.
00:03:58.000 They just don't want that kind of conversation.
00:04:00.000 So, it's very likely YouTube does not appreciate this either.
00:04:02.000 This is reality.
00:04:03.000 When news happens, news gets reported.
00:04:05.000 But YouTube wants to be the foofy, family-friendly, you know, basketball-dunking Minecraft website.
00:04:11.000 I'm sorry, this is not reality.
00:04:13.000 And so long as we're able to, we'll talk about this stuff.
00:04:15.000 So go to TimCast.com, become a member, and you'll get access to exclusive members-only segments from the show.
00:04:19.000 Last night, we did basically a full bonus episode with Michael Malice.
00:04:22.000 He wanted to talk about success, You know, where we're going and advice.
00:04:26.000 And it was a really interesting philosophical conversation.
00:04:28.000 Probably gave a bunch of very, very important advice.
00:04:31.000 You know, both from Michael.
00:04:33.000 I think everybody had something to add.
00:04:35.000 If you want to learn the secrets to success and hear our philosophies, our ethos, become a member.
00:04:40.000 Check out that segment.
00:04:41.000 And don't forget to like, share, subscribe.
00:04:43.000 Hit that notification bell.
00:04:45.000 All right, we're getting serious now.
00:04:47.000 This is the story from the New York Times.
00:04:49.000 Suspect in capital attack appears to have been a follower of Louis Farrakhan.
00:04:54.000 For those that aren't familiar, he is the leader of the Nation of Islam, who has repeatedly promoted antisemitism.
00:05:00.000 The suspect, Noah R. Green, 25, was identified by two law enforcement officials and a congressional official.
00:05:06.000 He was from Indiana and died of being shot by Capitol Police.
00:05:09.000 On Facebook, Mr. Green had posted speeches and articles written by Mr. Farrakhan and Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 to 1975, that discussed the decline of America.
00:05:20.000 Two law enforcement officials confirmed that the Facebook page, which was taken down on Friday, had belonged to Mr. Green.
00:05:26.000 Mr. Green posted on Facebook about his personal struggles, especially during the pandemic.
00:05:30.000 Quote, To be honest, these past few years have been tough, and these past few months have been tougher.
00:05:35.000 I have been tried with some of the biggest unimaginable tests of my life.
00:05:38.000 I am currently now unemployed, and I left my job partly due to afflictions.
00:05:42.000 He also spoke on Facebook about the end times and the Antichrist.
00:05:45.000 On March 17th, he posted a photo of a donation he made to the Norfolk, Virginia chapter of the Nation of Islam, along with a video of Farrakhan's speech entitled, The Divine Destruction of America.
00:05:54.000 Later that day, he encouraged his friends to join him in studying the teachings of Farrakhan and Mr. Muhammad.
00:05:59.000 The Nation of Islam is a black nationalist movement that has advocated African-American self-sufficiency.
00:06:04.000 All right, I've got a thread pulled up from Andy Ngo, who's dug in a little bit to who this guy is and some of the things he said.
00:06:11.000 And I want to point out something.
00:06:12.000 The way the New York Times is quoting this guy as if we're going to look at his statements Not that long ago, there was a police officer who was paraphrasing what a mass shooter had said.
00:06:25.000 And he lost his job, basically, for this.
00:06:28.000 He was attacked.
00:06:29.000 They accused him of placating this evil man.
00:06:32.000 Why is the New York Times... What's with the double standard?
00:06:37.000 We get it, though.
00:06:37.000 We see the double standard all the time.
00:06:39.000 The mainstream establishment, corporate press, and politicians are deferential to left-wing extremism.
00:06:44.000 They would come out in seconds Condemning this, and saying everything you'd expect him to say, terror, ban guns, all of that stuff, if this actually was a white person, as we've often seen.
00:06:57.000 This time, though, many of these people did come out, they did say that.
00:07:01.000 Now they're gonna become very quiet, now that we're learning who the suspect is.
00:07:05.000 That's exactly what happened with Boulder, in fact.
00:07:10.000 Now, Andy Ngo posts about the suspect here, and I just want to point out a couple other things.
00:07:15.000 He says, in his last Instagram post before the attack, he wrote, the U.S.
00:07:20.000 government is the number one enemy of black people.
00:07:23.000 We are very much seeing leftist identitarianism, and it's reaching extreme levels.
00:07:29.000 When it comes to Antifa and Black Lives Matter, we've long seen what I refer to as like blunt force extremism.
00:07:35.000 In that the attacks they engaged in weren't the most violent or most lethal, but they were consistent and there were several instances of them.
00:07:45.000 So when these riots start and they burn down buildings and they cause massive destruction, the loss of life is extensive across the country.
00:07:53.000 But the media, as I mentioned, deferential.
00:07:56.000 When it comes to these mass shooters, these are high-profile, very acute instances where everyone's attention is just grabbed instantly.
00:08:04.000 So when you're dealing with endless antifa and Black Lives Matter violence, but on average they're punching people and they're beating people, that stuff doesn't become national news.
00:08:13.000 Now, as things become hyper-polarized, this may be a one-off, and hopefully this is just some sick man and that's the end of it, but it may be that things are going to get even worse from this.
00:08:25.000 I know, maybe it's a bit pessimistic for me to say, but I can already see the demands that We ban guns over this.
00:08:31.000 That we reinstate security around the Capitol.
00:08:34.000 Lock it down.
00:08:34.000 Send in the National Guard.
00:08:35.000 Now, a lot of these people were saying this before they realized this shooter was actually a black nationalist.
00:08:40.000 But we have this tweet from Rep.
00:08:41.000 Ilhan Omar.
00:08:42.000 She said the death toll would have been worse if the assailant had an AR-15 instead of a knife.
00:08:45.000 She's completely unrelated to what happened.
00:08:49.000 But there's already efforts from many people to weaponize this.
00:08:53.000 So, I don't know what you guys think.
00:08:55.000 It's always hard to kind of segue into a conversation when we're dealing with such serious Sure, I think there's absolutely a double standard.
00:09:00.000 you know, kind of this hyperpolarization. But I suppose considering, you know, we've all talked
00:09:04.000 about this, I'm curious your thoughts, Julie, on the hyperpolarization, the conflict, the security
00:09:09.000 state, and you know, everything's been going on. Sure. I think there's absolutely a double standard.
00:09:14.000 You know, a few weeks ago, when that guy who happened to be white shot up the Atlanta spas,
00:09:19.000 people automatically said, oh, this is a white supremacist terrorist.
00:09:23.000 May- Maybe we don't know, but they were quick to jump on that.
00:09:27.000 We don't really know his intentions.
00:09:28.000 Maybe he was a sex addict.
00:09:30.000 We don't know if it was Asian or not Asian.
00:09:32.000 If it was just like him going after these women for being women and tempting him.
00:09:37.000 We don't know.
00:09:37.000 But as soon as he did it, it was like white supremacist terrorist.
00:09:41.000 But now this guy who is We know he's a Nation of Islam, which is a black supremacist, very racist group.
00:09:48.000 Like, everyone thinks they're racist.
00:09:50.000 That's not a controversial thing.
00:09:52.000 This guy went to the Capitol with a knife.
00:09:55.000 He killed a police officer and they're saying, oh, there's no terrorism.
00:09:59.000 There's no, we see no evidence of terrorism.
00:10:01.000 Like, it's been a few hours, people.
00:10:04.000 Like, what did you have to investigate that?
00:10:07.000 Spend a few minutes, maybe.
00:10:08.000 Yeah, they're just like, well, he was an Islam, he was a Nation of Islam guy, so therefore it's not terrorism.
00:10:13.000 We don't want to, like, offend people, you know, we don't want to say, you know, make people uncomfortable.
00:10:17.000 It's like, come on, it's a few hours.
00:10:20.000 You know, what's interesting is when that tragedy happened in Atlanta, The I believe it was the police. I'm not sure they said it
00:10:28.000 wasn't race related right so I here's what I find interesting
00:10:31.000 They came out and said no no it wasn't he was a sex addict two of the victims were white
00:10:35.000 But even you point out. We don't really know we did an investigation a
00:10:39.000 Lot of people on the left immediately said it was a race thing
00:10:44.000 Even when the police come out and say it's not.
00:10:46.000 Now, I know, well, maybe it's a bit unfair for me to say this, but I'll speculate, and I'd be willing to bet on this, the left is immediately going to change their tune and say it wasn't terror, it was a disturbed young man, and that's the game they'll play.
00:10:59.000 Unless they want to ban guns, you know, I think it's, it's ridiculous that Ilhan Omar was like, what if he had a gun?
00:11:04.000 What if he had a tank?
00:11:05.000 I don't know.
00:11:05.000 It's ridiculous.
00:11:06.000 This is, this is a tragedy.
00:11:07.000 You can speculate whatever you want, but they're going to, they're going to do it because it's an excuse to gain power.
00:11:13.000 Absolutely.
00:11:14.000 But he had a knife.
00:11:16.000 He brought a knife to a gunfight.
00:11:18.000 He got killed.
00:11:19.000 That was dumb.
00:11:20.000 It was a poor strategy, Tim.
00:11:22.000 Could it be suicide by cop?
00:11:24.000 Oh, it's possible.
00:11:25.000 Did he ram?
00:11:26.000 He rammed somebody with his car?
00:11:28.000 Is that right?
00:11:29.000 I guess he rammed through the barricade.
00:11:31.000 Oh, I see.
00:11:31.000 Yeah.
00:11:32.000 So he used a car and a knife.
00:11:33.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:34.000 You know what gets me about this Georgia thing?
00:11:36.000 Is it with Georgia?
00:11:37.000 Is that where the guy murdered six women?
00:11:39.000 In the spas?
00:11:40.000 Yeah.
00:11:40.000 Like they'll do if they're going to do like tests or like investigations and then in a year and a month, they're like, OK, we figured out he was racist.
00:11:50.000 We figured out he wasn't racist.
00:11:51.000 Like, what difference does it make?
00:11:53.000 That guy murdered six people.
00:11:55.000 He was deranged.
00:11:56.000 Eight people, I think.
00:11:57.000 Eight people.
00:11:58.000 Yeah.
00:11:58.000 It's.
00:11:59.000 Yeah, it was terrifying.
00:12:01.000 You wanna call it terror or not terror?
00:12:04.000 It was terrifying for those people.
00:12:06.000 Maybe it wasn't political terror.
00:12:08.000 What's the difference, man?
00:12:10.000 I agree.
00:12:11.000 It's like hate crimes, right?
00:12:13.000 Where they're like, we're gonna investigate your thought process before you committed a crime.
00:12:17.000 It's like, dude, hitting someone's illegal.
00:12:19.000 The reason why you did it, you did it.
00:12:20.000 You know what I mean?
00:12:21.000 The action is illegal.
00:12:23.000 I can't read your mind.
00:12:24.000 And they try to infer as to what you were thinking.
00:12:28.000 One of the biggest reasons I have a problem with terror laws and hate crime laws is that they're going to be selectively used.
00:12:34.000 In this instance, they're already saying it wasn't terror.
00:12:36.000 Well, dude was a black nationalist who posted on Instagram that the American government is the enemy of black people.
00:12:41.000 What?
00:12:41.000 Are you kidding me?
00:12:42.000 And they're going to be like, no, look, I don't care if they do or don't just keep it consistent.
00:12:46.000 I think this guy committed a crime.
00:12:47.000 That's enough.
00:12:49.000 Let me see if I got this straight.
00:12:51.000 So this guy was on Facebook and Instagram posting about how much he hated the U.S.
00:12:54.000 government.
00:12:55.000 And then he went to Washington, D.C.
00:12:57.000 and rammed into the Capitol fence, and they're calling this definitely not terrorism.
00:13:03.000 That's an act of political terror.
00:13:06.000 It is an act of political terror.
00:13:07.000 I'm not I don't support these like terror laws where you throw people in Gitmo because of the way they were thinking when they did the crime.
00:13:12.000 Right.
00:13:13.000 He's from Indiana.
00:13:14.000 He went to D.C.?
00:13:15.000 What was he in D.C.
00:13:16.000 for?
00:13:16.000 Was he in school or...?
00:13:17.000 I don't know.
00:13:17.000 Yeah, I'm gonna have to look it up.
00:13:18.000 He was making a political statement.
00:13:20.000 Yes.
00:13:20.000 I was sure.
00:13:21.000 Maybe.
00:13:22.000 Why would he go to D.C.?
00:13:23.000 That's a good point, Lydia.
00:13:24.000 Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
00:13:25.000 So Glenn Greenwald called this out.
00:13:26.000 We have this post from Politico.
00:13:28.000 The suspect was not known to Capitol Police or D.C.
00:13:30.000 police officials said.
00:13:32.000 Robert Conte, the acting DC police chief, said the incident does not appear to be terrorism-related and there was no indication of a nexus to a member of Congress.
00:13:40.000 Glenn Greenwald responded, on what basis did the police pronounce the capital attack does not appear to be terrorism-related?
00:13:48.000 How was it remotely possible to determine the mode of the attacker this early, which, by the way, is what determines whether an act of violence is or is not terror?
00:13:56.000 Politics.
00:13:58.000 It's politics?
00:13:59.000 Yeah.
00:13:59.000 How long did it take before they finally banned Farrakhan off all these social media platforms?
00:14:04.000 I wasn't following.
00:14:05.000 I don't know.
00:14:06.000 They got rid of all the white nationalists.
00:14:10.000 Farrakhan was allowed to stay on.
00:14:12.000 Twitter allowed him to say things that were overtly anti-Semitic.
00:14:14.000 He's a supremacist.
00:14:16.000 A racial supremacist.
00:14:17.000 Just happens to be a different race.
00:14:18.000 If you took quotes from Farrakhan, and in any instance of the word black, you just swapped out white, you'd probably confuse people because they'd think it was Hitler.
00:14:27.000 Absolutely.
00:14:28.000 Yeah.
00:14:29.000 And so I'll say this.
00:14:30.000 He should be allowed to be on Twitter.
00:14:32.000 He should be allowed to say what he wants to say.
00:14:33.000 Good.
00:14:34.000 Because when he was saying this stuff, we all saw it.
00:14:36.000 And now, when the New York Times brings it up, we know it.
00:14:39.000 And when we see the suspect, we know what he believed and who he followed.
00:14:43.000 And that's creepy, creepy stuff.
00:14:45.000 Good to know.
00:14:46.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:14:47.000 But think about what happens when they ban this guy.
00:14:49.000 The only reason the New York Times is like they repeatedly promoted anti-Semitism is because the news stories that erupted when Farrakhan would post these things or when these videos would come out.
00:14:58.000 You get rid of that speech, you get rid of that, you know, that ability to share information.
00:15:02.000 And we'd be wondering, like, who's Farrakhan?
00:15:05.000 I don't know what this is.
00:15:06.000 It was a religious fellow.
00:15:07.000 I think racists should expose themselves.
00:15:09.000 Let them talk.
00:15:10.000 We'll judge them, hold them accountable.
00:15:12.000 But yeah, don't ban them from stuff.
00:15:14.000 I want to see what they want to say.
00:15:15.000 You know, I think the issue, though, is that these, like, the ultra-woke people, they're the racists, you know?
00:15:22.000 And they do a really good job of masquerading as the not-racists, you know, going around telling everybody that they're anti-racist.
00:15:27.000 They got that book, what is it, Anti-Racist Baby?
00:15:30.000 Oh, yeah.
00:15:30.000 Kids' books that are being made and tell the kids how to be a, you know, a cult member and things like that.
00:15:35.000 Well, they go around naming their cult anti-racists, and it reminds me of the Simpsons when Homer's telling the story about when he's a kid, and they had the No Homers Club, and then he's like, but you let in that other Homer, and they're like, we're allowed to have one, like they made the name specifically to address something they were, you know, didn't want.
00:15:52.000 Anti-racist!
00:15:54.000 And then they go around literally discriminating based on race, and encouraging overt, hardcore identitarianism and antisemitism, and I'm just like, man, There's so many well-to-do liberals that are so obsessed with social justice narratives, they overlook the fact that black nationalist anti-Semites exist in large numbers with a massive following, and they're sitting here going like, but what about Trump supporters?
00:16:18.000 What about them?
00:16:18.000 Are we going to wave a little American flag around?
00:16:20.000 I get it.
00:16:20.000 The people at the Capitol.
00:16:21.000 There's a decent amount of people that went crazy and stormed the Capitol.
00:16:24.000 That was bad.
00:16:25.000 But you compare that to everything we've seen and the strength of the movement from things like, you know, Farrakhan.
00:16:31.000 It's just not even a question.
00:16:32.000 But that stuff's just... They ignore all that.
00:16:36.000 This actually seems to be a prevalent thing in the African-American community because if you look at the attacks, well, if you look at the attacks on Jewish people in New York City, a majority of them are done by a certain ethnic minority.
00:16:48.000 I know, I know, I know, you can't say it, but you can look at the videos and you can be like, oh my gosh, this is like actually a problem in their community.
00:16:55.000 And I wonder if that is the influence of the, you know, the nation of Islam.
00:16:59.000 I don't know.
00:17:01.000 I think that's why the Atlanta spa shooting got so much outrage because it was a white dude.
00:17:07.000 I think they were secretly happy that it was a white person to say, oh, these white people hate Asian people.
00:17:13.000 Honestly, I've never met a white person that hates Asian people.
00:17:15.000 I love Asian people.
00:17:17.000 I wish they would move in next to me.
00:17:19.000 I want my kid to go to their schools.
00:17:20.000 I love Asian people.
00:17:22.000 I think it could be a problem in the black community.
00:17:25.000 I've heard there's tensions between the Asians moving in and having stores and liquor stores and convenience stores and they think they're taking away, they're making profits off the black people.
00:17:36.000 I don't know, that's not my community, but I've heard there's tension there.
00:17:40.000 But they want to focus on, oh, these white people hate Asian people.
00:17:43.000 I don't think that's really a huge thing.
00:17:46.000 It's, when you look at the rules of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., you're allowed to disparage white people.
00:17:56.000 Yeah.
00:17:56.000 Like, outright.
00:17:56.000 Like, they've even talked about how, I think, I can't remember which platform it was, they said, you know, you're allowed to make disparaging comments on traditionally non-marginalized groups of people or whatever, like, we know what that means.
00:18:09.000 And so, you know, thinking back to, like, old comedy, it was always safe to be like, oh, okay, white people, you know... White people crazy.
00:18:16.000 Yeah, you can make fun of them.
00:18:18.000 And I understand the idea behind it, right?
00:18:21.000 The left would tell you, it's like, oh, there's white privilege.
00:18:23.000 And because of that, you're punching up, which is fine, but punching down is wrong.
00:18:27.000 But that means, because of these rules, you can't have very real conversations that are important.
00:18:33.000 You mentioned the gentrification problem.
00:18:35.000 That's absolutely very prominent within left-wing activist circles and within Black Lives Matter.
00:18:42.000 And to clarify too, what Asian means in many of these communities is not like Chinese or Japanese.
00:18:49.000 It's Indian as well.
00:18:50.000 It's Middle Eastern.
00:18:51.000 So when I was in Ferguson, they burned down a gas station during the Michael Brown riots.
00:18:56.000 And I interviewed some of the people there.
00:18:58.000 Why did you burn down this gas station?
00:18:59.000 They said, Because the Asian guy comes here and he buys a gas station in our neighborhood.
00:19:05.000 Why is he making money off of us?
00:19:07.000 He doesn't live here.
00:19:08.000 So they burn it down.
00:19:10.000 We broadcast that.
00:19:11.000 That was on Vice.
00:19:12.000 That's on YouTube.
00:19:12.000 I mean, I don't know if they still have it up, but that's what they said.
00:19:16.000 So there's very much racial tensions.
00:19:18.000 When I was in Milwaukee during Black Lives Matter rioting, they straight up were yelling, get the white people.
00:19:25.000 F the white people.
00:19:26.000 And an 18 year old white kid got shot in the neck.
00:19:29.000 I grew up watching this stuff, and it's no surprise to me.
00:19:32.000 But I'm curious, you know, when I mentioned that I did a video saying I wasn't going to be covering what was going on in Milwaukee at the time because of the racial tensions, and I was like, for someone they perceive to be white, it's dangerous.
00:19:44.000 You know, this kid got shot in the neck, so I'm not going to stick around.
00:19:47.000 It's remarkable.
00:19:48.000 I did that video because I think I had like 20,000 subscribers.
00:19:51.000 And there are people who follow me, and they wanted me to post videos from what was going on on the ground, and I said, I'm not gonna do it, and here's why.
00:19:57.000 And it was just to my followers.
00:19:59.000 Well, the video ended up going viral and getting shared by a bunch of conservatives, who were like, oh, look at this.
00:20:02.000 This is, you know, proof of something.
00:20:04.000 And the left was like, Tim Pool only did that to grift.
00:20:07.000 I'm like, to who?
00:20:07.000 My 20,000 followers who I know and follow and comment?
00:20:11.000 How dare you make money?
00:20:15.000 But it's insane how these things are real.
00:20:18.000 And these racial tensions exist.
00:20:21.000 And there's absolutely racism in the black community, in the Asian community, in the Latino community, in the white community.
00:20:27.000 Towards each other as well.
00:20:29.000 Oh, definitely.
00:20:29.000 I mean Asians.
00:20:30.000 Oh my gosh.
00:20:32.000 Hispanic people talk about each other.
00:20:34.000 It's just gossip.
00:20:36.000 Yeah.
00:20:37.000 But I don't know.
00:20:39.000 Yeah.
00:20:39.000 So I feel like There's kind of like, I feel like we're in a cultural, uh, the left is in a cultural Mexican standoff.
00:20:46.000 Yeah.
00:20:46.000 Where they're all just, there's just like piranhas everywhere.
00:20:49.000 These, these culture warriors ready to cancel you the moment you say something that's cancelable.
00:20:54.000 So no one will have honest conversations about their communities or other communities or racism because they'll get canceled the moment they do.
00:21:02.000 I hope I get canceled though, because Dr. Seuss got canceled and his books are up, up, up, up, up.
00:21:08.000 I have children's books.
00:21:09.000 I hope I get canceled so I can go top on Amazon.
00:21:12.000 What are your children's books?
00:21:14.000 I have two children's books.
00:21:15.000 The first one is Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza.
00:21:18.000 It's based on Lytton Reed's eye pencil, but I made it for kids about pizza.
00:21:22.000 Awesome.
00:21:23.000 It talks about, you know, division of labor, spontaneous order, all those economic terms.
00:21:27.000 Yeah.
00:21:28.000 So there's no central planner making this pizza.
00:21:30.000 It's people all over the world doing the tomatoes and the cheese.
00:21:34.000 Yeah.
00:21:35.000 Yeah.
00:21:36.000 Because there's no one person who grows tomatoes, farms dairy, wheat, oregano, and then brings
00:21:41.000 it all together with sugar.
00:21:42.000 It's all different farms and different- Yeah, you think cheese pizza's really simple, but it's really complicated.
00:21:46.000 Yeah.
00:21:47.000 Yeah, I wonder if somewhere someone's actually decided to make a pizza farm.
00:21:51.000 Like, let me just make all the... We got cows, we got tomatoes.
00:21:53.000 I think you guys could do it.
00:21:55.000 It's a lot of work for pizza.
00:21:59.000 Yeah.
00:21:59.000 And so I'll... Going back to the more serious conversation, I suppose.
00:22:03.000 The left is all... They're all staring at each other.
00:22:06.000 And I feel like most of these people... Actually, let me stop.
00:22:09.000 Leaked video came out.
00:22:10.000 I just saw this on Twitter.
00:22:12.000 A teacher, one of these teachers in LA, you know, they do this woke stuff, apparently forgot to turn off Zoom and then went on like a racist tirade about this other black family and the way that she perceived black people and the way they acted.
00:22:25.000 It was crazy to hear this.
00:22:27.000 And people are sharing this being like, these are the people teaching your kids woke critical race theory.
00:22:31.000 Trash.
00:22:32.000 Overtly racist.
00:22:34.000 They know they're racist.
00:22:35.000 They're pretending not to be racist, but they're super racist.
00:22:38.000 And then it's really funny because then you'll get Black Lives Matter being like, yo, these white people are racist.
00:22:42.000 And we're like, stop saying everyone's racist.
00:22:44.000 But they're literally pointing to these like urban leftist, you know, critical race theorist people too.
00:22:49.000 And I'm like, yeah, okay, well, you know, those people are racist.
00:22:51.000 They're racist, yeah, for sure.
00:22:52.000 But that's what they're like behind the scenes.
00:22:54.000 And they don't say it.
00:22:55.000 So I feel like they're all sitting there.
00:22:56.000 It's like that Key and Peele segment where he's sweating like crazy, just like standing there.
00:23:01.000 And that's what many of these racist leftists are doing, waiting for one person to just say the wrong word.
00:23:08.000 I think it's intentional.
00:23:09.000 Ah, an ex.
00:23:11.000 How dare you?
00:23:11.000 That's offensive.
00:23:12.000 Women.
00:23:12.000 Aha.
00:23:13.000 I got you now.
00:23:14.000 And they're all just hitting each other.
00:23:15.000 They don't have any real conversations about stuff.
00:23:17.000 I think it's, I think it's intentional.
00:23:19.000 I've been today has been very exhausting in that.
00:23:22.000 If you look at what's happening across the world, when we'll probably talk about
00:23:25.000 later Crimea, um, and China with Hong Kong and Taiwan, uh, Russia and Ukraine, like.
00:23:31.000 Bingo.
00:23:31.000 Now they have the Americans all stuck in this paralyzed fear state.
00:23:35.000 So like we're not going to get involved.
00:23:37.000 That's what they want.
00:23:38.000 If there's going to be an invasion of of Crimea and Ukraine by the Russians and an
00:23:42.000 invasion of Taiwan and Hong Kong by the Chinese, they don't want the United States
00:23:45.000 to react in a cohesive manner.
00:23:46.000 And if this is the stuff we're focused on, we're not going to.
00:23:49.000 Bingo.
00:23:50.000 Yeah, it feels like.
00:23:52.000 In many ways, the establishment has just decided, OK, wokeness is our is our path, I
00:23:58.000 suppose, which it feels that way because from the intelligence agencies to the
00:24:03.000 military, even the embracing like the chief diversity officer or whatever, the
00:24:09.000 Are you kidding me?
00:24:11.000 Why would there be a movement, an effort in the federal government to divide this country?
00:24:19.000 Why would why would the Americans be intentionally dividing themselves?
00:24:23.000 It could either be outside influence, or it could be a form of cultural apoptosis, where one cell is no longer needed in a system, it destroys itself.
00:24:32.000 So if the United States has become vestigial in the human experience, that we're just ending our own experience for us?
00:24:39.000 I don't think so.
00:24:40.000 I would say this.
00:24:42.000 If this is the case, we're conquered.
00:24:45.000 Exactly.
00:24:46.000 But OK, listen, people say, oh, I hate division.
00:24:50.000 I hate division.
00:24:50.000 I want to be unified.
00:24:52.000 But people, I think, secretly love division.
00:24:55.000 I make commentary.
00:24:58.000 If I make it very divisive, people will eat that up.
00:25:01.000 People love to see their enemies, you know.
00:25:07.000 Yeah, to own the libs.
00:25:08.000 We gotta own the libs.
00:25:10.000 I think people like the vision.
00:25:12.000 I think they'd like to see their enemies hurting.
00:25:14.000 They want war.
00:25:14.000 They want conflict of some sort because people strive for purpose.
00:25:17.000 People are bored.
00:25:17.000 They want something.
00:25:18.000 Yeah, but we're supposed to own the communists.
00:25:22.000 It's supposed to be like, own the commies!
00:25:23.000 You know, make that anti-commie stuff and then make fun of the communists in the concentration camps.
00:25:27.000 Instead, we're ripping at each other.
00:25:29.000 So if these other countries engage in some kind of conflict, if we really do escalate in the South
00:25:33.000 China Sea or in Eastern Europe, the US is everyone's fighting each other. So I guess the point I'm
00:25:39.000 trying to make is we need to be like, hey, everyone in America, we come together and we respect each other.
00:25:45.000 We're all Americans first.
00:25:47.000 We're not this race first or this identity first.
00:25:49.000 Instead, the prevailing ideology that's infected all of our institutions from the news media to schools and now the military is divide everybody up based on immutable characteristics and some other self-identified characteristics so that we are as fractured as possible.
00:26:06.000 Okay, I'm sorry, like any strategist is gonna be like, that's a terrible idea.
00:26:10.000 So then when conflict arises, we're too busy fighting ourselves.
00:26:13.000 You know, as infantry, they want you like an infant.
00:26:17.000 They want your mind clear.
00:26:19.000 They don't want you to have all this social order.
00:26:22.000 Don't pull an AOC on me.
00:26:24.000 There's a surge at the border.
00:26:25.000 They're not insurgents.
00:26:27.000 Infantile.
00:26:28.000 They want to wipe your mind clean of your past identity and make a new one that is synonymous with all others.
00:26:35.000 And that's why you're part of this infantry.
00:26:39.000 You're born, you're birthed into the port.
00:26:43.000 The people who are fighting in a conflict, who are unified, who know who's on their side and knows what they're fighting for, and often we have corrupt officials and institutions and governments that manipulate the goodwill of the people who are willing to fight and lay their lives down for the right cause.
00:26:59.000 They get manipulated and they get exploited and that's kind of what America's been doing for quite some time, especially in the past several decades.
00:27:05.000 But I have tremendous respect for those that are willing to do that.
00:27:07.000 The problem is the corrupted system.
00:27:10.000 More importantly, however, when I see the Pentagon chief diversity officer, and he got cancelled because he had racist comments or something, I don't know.
00:27:19.000 Amazing.
00:27:19.000 Like, we're infected.
00:27:22.000 You know what I mean?
00:27:22.000 Like, we're fractured.
00:27:23.000 There's no coming back from this, is there?
00:27:25.000 No.
00:27:25.000 You can't convince the cultists to abandon the cult.
00:27:27.000 They go insane.
00:27:27.000 There's no coming back from this.
00:27:28.000 We altered the globe the way humans will interact forever.
00:27:32.000 Yeah, I thought maybe a silver lining of COVID was like people coming together, you know?
00:27:38.000 No, the complete opposite of that happened.
00:27:40.000 We had a common enemy here, COVID, and still, nope.
00:27:45.000 What I absolutely love about the COVID thing too, in terms of division, is that conservatives initially were like, you should wear a mask.
00:27:51.000 And it was Fauci and the Surgeon General who were like, no, no, no.
00:27:55.000 And conservatives were like, don't listen!
00:27:57.000 Don't listen!
00:27:57.000 And then it switched!
00:27:59.000 And then what happened?
00:28:00.000 Now the conservatives are the ones who are like, ah!
00:28:04.000 And the left is like, we're three!
00:28:06.000 I was consistent on that, okay?
00:28:09.000 With the CDC and Fauci was saying, oh, don't wear a mask, there's no need to.
00:28:13.000 I was saying, you are liars.
00:28:16.000 You can check my Twitter.
00:28:17.000 Were you selling Gadsden flag masks?
00:28:19.000 I was selling them, but later, later, later, later, okay?
00:28:23.000 And then they switched their mind.
00:28:25.000 It was really because they didn't want people to hoard masks.
00:28:27.000 They were liars.
00:28:28.000 And that was terrible because now people are not listening to them on vaccines or anything because they're liars.
00:28:33.000 However, I still said, hey, wearing a mask is a good idea.
00:28:36.000 Fauci admitted this.
00:28:39.000 In an interview, he said, we didn't want people to buy up all the masks when the medical professionals needed them first.
00:28:45.000 Yeah, so they're a bunch of liars, but now there's a bunch of libertarians saying, oh, you believe in these government conspiracies because you want to wear a mask.
00:28:52.000 It's like, man, I'm consistent on this issue.
00:28:55.000 I'm not a child.
00:28:56.000 There's such a juvenile thing.
00:28:59.000 If the government says something, I'm going to do the opposite.
00:29:01.000 Well, a lot of times that is true, but not all the time.
00:29:04.000 Use your brain, not just reactionary, juvenile.
00:29:09.000 I got hit up by somebody when all this started going down with COVID, and they were like, yo, the government said you don't need masks, quick, buy a bunch.
00:29:17.000 And I'm like, you know what, man?
00:29:19.000 It's so predictable.
00:29:21.000 A bunch of the libertarian type people I know are like, I don't trust the government.
00:29:24.000 They're saying, don't, I better buy one.
00:29:26.000 And then when the government says to do one, they're like, you can't tell me what to do!
00:29:29.000 That's dumb!
00:29:31.000 It's called obstinance.
00:29:33.000 It's very dangerous.
00:29:37.000 Now, I'll tell you that, like, I tweeted, wear 12 masks and it got like 3,000 retweets.
00:29:42.000 Like, just wear 12.
00:29:43.000 And people were like, I don't know, 13.
00:29:45.000 It's like, look, I picked an arbitrary number that was stupid, you know?
00:29:48.000 I actually have an idea.
00:29:50.000 We should do this for like a bonus thing for the website.
00:29:52.000 Just put on as many masks as we can.
00:29:53.000 See how many we can put on?
00:29:54.000 Yeah, just keep putting on masks.
00:29:55.000 I can't breathe anymore.
00:29:56.000 Until... I can.
00:29:57.000 Keep going.
00:29:58.000 That's huge.
00:29:59.000 Yeah, I don't know.
00:30:00.000 You might get to a point where you're like... Too many masks.
00:30:03.000 Yeah, like, 12 might be the limit, I suppose.
00:30:05.000 On your elbows, on your ears.
00:30:07.000 I mean, your ears have gas canals in them, too.
00:30:09.000 Do you need to mask your ears as well?
00:30:11.000 Eyes?
00:30:11.000 Gotta cover your eyes.
00:30:12.000 No, just your mouth.
00:30:13.000 Just put a pillowcase over your head.
00:30:15.000 There you go.
00:30:15.000 You can still breathe through it.
00:30:16.000 You know, and then you're safe.
00:30:17.000 I saw a commercial for those big spaceman helmets.
00:30:20.000 The one that we have?
00:30:20.000 Yeah, they're, like, really taking it seriously.
00:30:22.000 Oh, gosh, of course they are.
00:30:23.000 The company is.
00:30:24.000 We have it right here.
00:30:25.000 Put your money where your mouth is, Julie.
00:30:26.000 Here you go.
00:30:27.000 You wanna put it on?
00:30:29.000 It's just infinitely more comfortable wearing the space helmet than it is wearing a mask.
00:30:32.000 You don't have to put it on.
00:30:33.000 You don't have to.
00:30:34.000 Oh, I was really going to do it.
00:30:35.000 Okay.
00:30:36.000 Yeah, they're great.
00:30:37.000 It's got an electric filter in it.
00:30:38.000 I wanted to try it.
00:30:39.000 Well, you can try it if you want.
00:30:40.000 I'll try it after.
00:30:41.000 I was so excited for these things.
00:30:42.000 It's like an alien thing.
00:30:43.000 So cool.
00:30:44.000 It's just infinitely more comfortable wearing the space helmet than it is wearing a mask.
00:30:48.000 I will say, as much as goofy as I think it is, it's not uncomfortable.
00:30:51.000 I mean it is uncomfortable.
00:30:53.000 Because it's big and heavy.
00:30:53.000 I gotta be honest.
00:30:54.000 I'm gonna wear it.
00:30:55.000 You know why?
00:30:56.000 I got allergies.
00:30:57.000 And it's got like a HEPA filter or whatever.
00:30:59.000 Two of them.
00:31:00.000 I can walk around outside and I won't sneeze.
00:31:03.000 And y'all be jealous.
00:31:05.000 And dude, my allergies are bad, man.
00:31:07.000 It's like...
00:31:08.000 Yeah, because all the trees are exploding and it's basically you're getting all this tree spunk up in your business.
00:31:13.000 It's true, though.
00:31:13.000 I cut back on sugar and stopped getting allergies.
00:31:16.000 It does help.
00:31:16.000 That helps, yeah.
00:31:17.000 My allergies are gone.
00:31:18.000 I used to get horrible pollen allergies.
00:31:20.000 I start drinking water, cut out soda.
00:31:22.000 Water, yep.
00:31:23.000 And I no longer am allergic to pollen.
00:31:25.000 I can smell it.
00:31:26.000 If I take a huge whiff of pollen, I'll feel it tickle the back of my throat still, but it's like dehydration.
00:31:30.000 It dehydrates the nasal folds.
00:31:33.000 So I drink water, it kind of absorbs the pollen.
00:31:35.000 I read on this website that if you eat worms, like parasites, then you'll get cured of your allergies.
00:31:42.000 Maybe it was just one of those crackpot hippy-dippy websites, but what it was saying was that—actually, I probably saw this on Reddit, because I don't read any crackpot hippy-dippy websites—but it was basically saying that you have two different immune systems, I suppose, one for parasites and one for pathogens or something.
00:31:55.000 Oh, interesting.
00:31:56.000 But because we've cured ourselves and, like, eliminated parasites for the most part from our diets, we just have this, like, crazy immune system.
00:32:03.000 That could just be a bunch of bunk nonsense from Reddit.
00:32:06.000 Probably.
00:32:06.000 I don't know.
00:32:07.000 Maybe someone knows better so they can tell me.
00:32:08.000 Did you try it?
00:32:09.000 No, not me.
00:32:10.000 But, uh, you know back in the day they used to like, like, like tapeworms for diets.
00:32:14.000 You would like take the pills.
00:32:16.000 Is that true?
00:32:16.000 That's true?
00:32:17.000 I think so.
00:32:18.000 I looked that up.
00:32:19.000 Yeah.
00:32:19.000 I don't know.
00:32:20.000 Yeah, and it was like, tapeworms!
00:32:22.000 Well, you'll lose weight quick!
00:32:23.000 They used to bleed people to try and heal them of illness.
00:32:26.000 They'd cut their legs and get out the bad blood.
00:32:29.000 Do you remember that product from like the 2000s where you would take a pill and then you couldn't digest fat?
00:32:36.000 And you'd just crap it out?
00:32:38.000 I remember that.
00:32:38.000 So gross.
00:32:39.000 Maybe.
00:32:39.000 Was that... I remember a lot of diet pills in the 80s.
00:32:43.000 And it's like, it would cause your body to not digest fat.
00:32:47.000 And so you would just, like, expel it.
00:32:48.000 It was like dex something.
00:32:50.000 Yeah, dex something.
00:32:51.000 Yeah, I don't know.
00:32:53.000 Do you remember that?
00:32:56.000 No.
00:32:56.000 I thought you said something earlier that I thought was kind of profound, is that people need conflict.
00:33:01.000 I do think they need conflict.
00:33:03.000 I think people secretly like conflict.
00:33:05.000 Yeah.
00:33:06.000 It's like, have you guys seen Wonder Woman?
00:33:09.000 Not the new one.
00:33:09.000 The new one with Gal Gadot?
00:33:12.000 No, not 1984.
00:33:13.000 The good one that came out.
00:33:15.000 So that's basically it.
00:33:16.000 She thinks that if she defeats the God of War, Ares, the war will stop.
00:33:21.000 And then Chris Pine's character is like, dude, people fight, man.
00:33:24.000 Like, there's conflict.
00:33:25.000 You can't do anything about it.
00:33:26.000 And then it's like, Ares, all he does is whisper in the ear.
00:33:29.000 He doesn't make the war.
00:33:30.000 He just, you know, nudges people in the right direction to, you know, excite that conflict.
00:33:35.000 And like, if he wasn't around and it just built and built and built, then it might explode into some, some giant gorilla conflict.
00:33:41.000 I'm going to move this girl.
00:33:42.000 But some giant, like life-ending conflict.
00:33:44.000 So maybe a little bit of conflict frequently is healthier than letting it build up.
00:33:49.000 Bottled it up.
00:33:50.000 It didn't just automatic.
00:33:51.000 Yeah, just a little bit.
00:33:55.000 I mean, that's part of why relationships, I think, are like, you know, you're married.
00:34:01.000 Being in relationships, a lot of people love that when it comes to conflict.
00:34:05.000 You know what I found today?
00:34:06.000 That rage rooms are coming.
00:34:09.000 Where you go into a room.
00:34:10.000 You break stuff.
00:34:12.000 It's kind of like, you know, escape rooms are coming to things.
00:34:15.000 There's rage rooms now where you have a hammer and they let you break whatever you want in this room.
00:34:19.000 Interesting.
00:34:20.000 So you get some stress out?
00:34:22.000 Yeah, that would be cool.
00:34:22.000 COVID-related stress.
00:34:24.000 Yeah.
00:34:24.000 Interesting.
00:34:24.000 Yeah.
00:34:25.000 That's fascinating.
00:34:26.000 I think it's cool.
00:34:27.000 I play a lot of games to get my conflict resolution out of my system sometimes, but it's not really physical.
00:34:34.000 It's mostly mental.
00:34:36.000 I didn't know about this Rage Room thing.
00:34:38.000 That's fascinating.
00:34:38.000 I just pulled this up from NBC.
00:34:41.000 Why a Rage Room might be the key to venting your bottled frustration.
00:34:45.000 But Rage Rooms are not appropriate treatment for everybody.
00:34:47.000 No, I couldn't handle that.
00:34:49.000 That's crazy to me.
00:34:50.000 That would make everything worse.
00:34:51.000 Yeah, I would not enjoy breaking stuff and going nuts like that.
00:34:55.000 Yeah.
00:34:55.000 I kind of would.
00:34:57.000 You know, everybody's got their own different way of doing things.
00:35:00.000 They actually say about catharsis that it's not necessarily good.
00:35:03.000 It can make things worse.
00:35:05.000 You know, one of the things that I'm starting to wonder during the course of this conversation is that maybe because we're not in relationships, we're not married and we don't have families, we don't want to break stuff.
00:35:13.000 I mean, yeah, it's not that you don't want to break stuff, but you don't have like the rock tumbler effect of being in a long term relationship where you're just kind of like knocking the rough edges off the other person constantly and they're doing the same for you.
00:35:23.000 And maybe that leads to our Emotions being bottled up and yelling at each other.
00:35:27.000 No, I was just I was just thinking that Because of something you said earlier when you are talking about just being busy with your family Because it's something we've absolutely heard from a lot of other guests and a lot of our friends where it's like oh, man You know with the school like we've been so wrapped up.
00:35:43.000 I haven't been following the news all that much You know cuz I got two kids or whatever.
00:35:46.000 That's what I hear a lot of and so I'm thinking right now You know what would end the culture war?
00:35:52.000 Seriously, just end the protests.
00:35:53.000 Make some babies.
00:35:54.000 Get something to do.
00:35:55.000 Because then they would have no choice but to be wrapped up in family.
00:35:59.000 Nothing else matters, just your family.
00:36:02.000 They'd be productive, they'd be working, and they'd be occupied.
00:36:05.000 Idle hands are the devil's playground, but I suppose we should say idle nethers are the devil's playground?
00:36:17.000 No, but I guess that's not the issue.
00:36:18.000 I think, you know, people actually know that is the issue.
00:36:20.000 Yeah, I was gonna say maybe people are still hooking up.
00:36:24.000 But they're not.
00:36:24.000 They're not having babies.
00:36:25.000 No, no, no, no.
00:36:26.000 They're not even hooking up.
00:36:26.000 That's true, too.
00:36:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:28.000 Overwhelmingly, Gen Z is just like a bunch of prudes.
00:36:32.000 No, no, no.
00:36:33.000 They can't.
00:36:34.000 Yeah.
00:36:34.000 COVID.
00:36:35.000 I think of chemical castration, not really castration, but like all these weird new food chemicals that get added and created in laboratories.
00:36:42.000 You know, all these new sugars, sucralose, aspartame, fructose.
00:36:46.000 And yeah, but it's making people's sex drive go down.
00:36:48.000 We've heard testosterone levels.
00:36:49.000 Low sperm count.
00:36:51.000 Yeah, but Ian, to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
00:36:53.000 And so you go on these things about sugar, and then you make the assumption that these things relate to these other problems.
00:36:59.000 When, if you actually look at the data, the reason for this has a lot to do with social media and dating websites.
00:37:06.000 Porn.
00:37:07.000 All of it together.
00:37:08.000 And porn.
00:37:09.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:37:09.000 Now COVID, but it was even before COVID, but COVID now, it's like, oh, I can't even, that person might be tainted.
00:37:15.000 Oh, well, that's illegal in the UK.
00:37:16.000 COVID?
00:37:18.000 Uh, uh, dating.
00:37:19.000 In the UK.
00:37:19.000 Is it really?
00:37:20.000 Yeah.
00:37:20.000 What happened?
00:37:21.000 Yeah, it's a crime.
00:37:21.000 You can't have sex in the UK.
00:37:23.000 It's illegal.
00:37:23.000 What?
00:37:24.000 It is... Let me repeat this.
00:37:26.000 It is a crime in the UK to have sex with a person.
00:37:29.000 Is that including Brit, all the Commonwealth?
00:37:31.000 Unless you're in a relationship with them, I think.
00:37:33.000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
00:37:34.000 I think Carl Benjamin said that.
00:37:36.000 This is headline news today.
00:37:37.000 How are they enforcing that?
00:37:39.000 Right, seriously?
00:37:41.000 I saw where they suggested... Yeah, Reuters.
00:37:44.000 This is from June 2nd.
00:37:46.000 This is from last year.
00:37:48.000 British government faces mockery over coronavirus sex ban.
00:37:50.000 Yeah, I would talk them to.
00:37:52.000 Oh my god.
00:37:52.000 What a very nice of them.
00:37:53.000 keeping people safe under amendments introduced to English rules on Monday no
00:37:57.000 person may participate in a gathering which takes place in public or private
00:38:00.000 and consists of two or more persons Britain's tabloid media cast it as
00:38:05.000 the bonking ban what this is is about making sure we don't have people
00:38:08.000 staying away from home at night So two or more people.
00:38:14.000 So two people can't be alone together.
00:38:16.000 That's what they're saying legally.
00:38:18.000 Yeah.
00:38:18.000 Yeah.
00:38:18.000 I mean, this is like, look at this, like put the Google thing.
00:38:21.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:38:22.000 October, Reuters, UK bans sex between government aid workers.
00:38:25.000 October 16th, sex ban, England's COVID tears.
00:38:28.000 October 25th, UK's sex ban explained.
00:38:31.000 June 4th, coronavirus sex ban.
00:38:33.000 Dude, it is like the UK has gone like fuel, has gone full.
00:38:36.000 There we go.
00:38:40.000 Full.
00:38:40.000 No sex for y'all.
00:38:42.000 No sex.
00:38:43.000 Wow.
00:38:44.000 Geez.
00:38:44.000 Could you imagine if, like, Joe Biden came out and was like, my fellow Americans, we're making sex illegal.
00:38:51.000 There'd be riots.
00:38:52.000 Come on, man.
00:38:53.000 There'd be riots.
00:38:54.000 Huge riots.
00:38:55.000 Dude, this is so, it's creepy, isn't it?
00:38:59.000 That is dystopian.
00:39:00.000 It's, it's, I'm, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm shattered.
00:39:04.000 Shit.
00:39:06.000 It might sound hyperbolic, I'm not literally, I don't think I'm shattered, but my DNA is shattering.
00:39:12.000 Like I feel shaken with this news of Russia and Ukraine and then this social war thing is like... I don't know what to do.
00:39:22.000 I could have sworn I read something that was sent to me by Carl Benjamin, where it was like, the UK says you can't have sex with somebody, and then also it was just like, some high-ranking government official was telling people to just go, like, crank it out themselves.
00:39:35.000 Oh, that's right, yeah.
00:39:36.000 You know, I read some good recommendations where you're supposed to watch your partner jerk off in front of you, but not get close to him.
00:39:42.000 Oh, okay.
00:39:43.000 Yeah, that was a recommendation from the government.
00:39:46.000 That's weird.
00:39:47.000 We're not family-friendly on Friday Night, I suppose.
00:39:49.000 Sorry, I'm sorry guys.
00:39:53.000 It's like the ultimate authoritarianism, I suppose.
00:39:58.000 We're like, social media is a problem.
00:40:00.000 It's making young people not have families.
00:40:03.000 And then they have no purpose.
00:40:05.000 You know what's really funny?
00:40:07.000 Is it because I don't have kids?
00:40:08.000 See, it's my own fault.
00:40:09.000 I've been talking about how millennials and these generations have no purpose.
00:40:16.000 So I did this video a while back about how Jordan Peterson provided purpose to many young men.
00:40:21.000 Find the heaviest thing you can carry and carry it.
00:40:24.000 Yeah.
00:40:24.000 And then wokeness was the purpose for these leftists.
00:40:27.000 So you had these young people who are sitting there like, why am I alive?
00:40:31.000 And then like hitting themselves in the head screaming.
00:40:33.000 And so they searched for anything and some people found wokeness.
00:40:38.000 It's almost like you guys are watch Underworld.
00:40:41.000 Yeah.
00:40:41.000 No, you never seen it, you know, where like the Corvid, what is it called?
00:40:45.000 The Corvenus.
00:40:47.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:40:48.000 It's like basically this dude's got this, like, immortality thing, and then one son's bitten by a bat and one son's bitten by a wolf, and then it creates the two different tribes, the werewolves and the vampires.
00:40:57.000 So you have these people who, like, drift into one tribe or the other, SJW, anti-SJW, because they're trying to find some purpose in their lives.
00:41:05.000 And, you know, like I mentioned, Jordan Peterson provided purpose to a lot of these young men.
00:41:11.000 The left absolutely hated it.
00:41:13.000 But then I realized that, you know, my perspective was lacking because I don't have kids.
00:41:18.000 The real purpose missing from these people's lives is family.
00:41:21.000 Yes.
00:41:21.000 Just outright.
00:41:24.000 People before these generations didn't have idle hands, weren't desperate for a purpose.
00:41:29.000 They had kids.
00:41:30.000 They had like 10 kids.
00:41:32.000 Yeah.
00:41:32.000 Yeah.
00:41:32.000 My great grandmother had 12 kids.
00:41:35.000 I'm like, whoa, how do you do that?
00:41:37.000 It's crazy.
00:41:38.000 Now it's frowned upon.
00:41:39.000 Yeah.
00:41:40.000 How's your life changed?
00:41:43.000 How different is it?
00:41:44.000 How's your social perception changed since you've been raising a family or raising children?
00:41:51.000 The world scares the crap out of me.
00:41:54.000 What aspects of it?
00:41:55.000 Just what kind of future my son is going to be into and how can I change that?
00:42:02.000 And I think I've changed my commentary a lot, where I've been, you know, I want to make a difference, a positive difference in people's lives.
00:42:11.000 Where before, you know, I was a little bit trolly.
00:42:12.000 I'm still a little bit trolly.
00:42:14.000 But I feel like I want to make an impact in the world because for my son and hopefully future children's sake, I'm also scared of pedophiles.
00:42:24.000 Oh yeah.
00:42:25.000 I feel like...
00:42:27.000 There's so many out there.
00:42:29.000 Creepy people.
00:42:31.000 The Epstein thing was a conspiracy theory.
00:42:33.000 It was a conspiracy theory for years.
00:42:35.000 And Alex Jones was mocked relentlessly for talking about these things.
00:42:40.000 And then Mike Cernovich and a reporter from, I think, the Miami Herald, I'm not sure, started filing lawsuits.
00:42:48.000 I think they then joined up.
00:42:49.000 I could be getting the story wrong, but they were both very much going after these files.
00:42:52.000 All of a sudden it was like, boom, this is real.
00:42:56.000 This happened.
00:42:56.000 You know, the documents were there and you were called crazy if you said that these high profile people like
00:43:01.000 Harvey Weinstein, for instance, granted he's a bit different, but still these like like these are extreme
00:43:08.000 instances of severe predation.
00:43:11.000 And you were a conspiracy theorist, it wasn't true.
00:43:14.000 Even though, like, the crazy thing is Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy Jokes, would make fun of Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein.
00:43:20.000 And you were wondering, like, what do these people actually know in these industries?
00:43:26.000 So definitely.
00:43:27.000 But I also wonder if, I don't know, just, what can you do for your son's future?
00:43:34.000 You know what I mean?
00:43:36.000 Let me get more nuanced.
00:43:39.000 I hear a lot from people who have kids where they're like, I have to make sure I'm around for my kids, but then they're willing to sacrifice the bigger picture for their kids.
00:43:47.000 You know what I mean?
00:43:47.000 Like they're willing to say, I'll forego this conflict and risking myself to fight for these ideas because it's better that I can be there for my kids to give them food than it is that I defend a future.
00:43:58.000 Yeah.
00:44:01.000 I'm pretty much a stay-at-home mom.
00:44:06.000 I think I sacrificed some stuff to be a stay-at-home mom, but I think it's absolutely worth it.
00:44:13.000 I heard an interview before from a hospice nurse, and she said, what is people's biggest regret on their deathbeds?
00:44:21.000 Yes.
00:44:21.000 And they say, I didn't spend enough time with my family.
00:44:24.000 She says she'd always heard it from men, but in recent years,
00:44:27.000 she's heard it more from women who chose to have a career and,
00:44:33.000 you know, send their kids off to daycare.
00:44:35.000 And I understand some people have to do that.
00:44:37.000 Some people do not have the financial means.
00:44:39.000 I understand that I am privileged in that sense.
00:44:42.000 However, if I have the option to be a stay at home mom and be there with my kids,
00:44:47.000 then I will take that.
00:44:49.000 So I think that I, I, it's worth it.
00:44:52.000 I think just that I have influence over my child and it isn't just a stranger who's raising them, whose ideology I may not agree with, and who may be out of his life.
00:45:04.000 And I'm always going to be there.
00:45:06.000 I was going to ask, are you going to send him to public school?
00:45:09.000 That's a decision we have not made yet.
00:45:12.000 Okay.
00:45:13.000 But he's only three.
00:45:14.000 I am homeschooling him, I suppose, even though, you know.
00:45:19.000 He's learning his colors and numbers in the dinosaurs.
00:45:22.000 He knows quite a few of them.
00:45:25.000 Have you given him any skateboards?
00:45:27.000 You should give him a skateboard.
00:45:29.000 He actually has a scooter.
00:45:32.000 All right, I guess.
00:45:33.000 He has like a dinosaur helmet with spikes on it.
00:45:36.000 Oh, I like that.
00:45:36.000 That's punk.
00:45:37.000 Yeah.
00:45:38.000 It was crazy, uh, you know, growing up skateboarding, there would always be these scooter kids at the skate park and skateboarders were so annoyed because they'd get in the way and didn't know what they were doing.
00:45:47.000 But I'll tell you the craziest thing is like, I see the scooter kid at the skate park and I'm like, oh, these scooter kids, man.
00:45:52.000 Like they're always in the way.
00:45:53.000 I get it.
00:45:54.000 They're kids.
00:45:54.000 They're here.
00:45:55.000 They're playing.
00:45:55.000 It's fine.
00:45:55.000 But their parents got to tell them about like teaching about etiquette and stuff.
00:45:58.000 And then it's like four years later and the scooter kid is now like 15 and he's doing backflips and like launching, you know, 10 feet in the air.
00:46:05.000 And I'm like, damn.
00:46:07.000 Scooter kid's good now.
00:46:08.000 This is rad.
00:46:09.000 Now it's fun to watch.
00:46:10.000 So yeah, scooter's cool.
00:46:11.000 No, I think definitely physical activity, mental activity.
00:46:14.000 And I'd say, dude, if it were me, don't put him in school, man.
00:46:17.000 It's tough.
00:46:19.000 Having your kid understand the system from within it is probably really important, but it can only be done with your guidance outside of the school.
00:46:28.000 Absolutely.
00:46:30.000 Like, for me, I went to grade school, and they, you know, they fill your head with complete bunk garbage.
00:46:35.000 And then I would go home and have my mom be like, that's not true.
00:46:38.000 She'd set you straight, yeah.
00:46:38.000 And then I was like, oh.
00:46:39.000 And then I realized, like, I realized what the system was, and sort of, I was very young.
00:46:45.000 But I was like, oh, okay, so this is not entirely legitimate.
00:46:48.000 And so I would see how the system worked, but was constantly being reminded from outside of it what the system was.
00:46:54.000 Also, I started working for my family's business when I was like 9 or 10 years old because we had a family cafe.
00:47:00.000 And then you hear real conversations from real adults.
00:47:02.000 You deal with real money and you have real experience in the real world.
00:47:04.000 You go to school and everything's so trivial and nonsensical, you know?
00:47:08.000 Yeah, I think parental involvement is number one.
00:47:11.000 I grew up going to government schools, but I had a family who was more conservative.
00:47:15.000 My grandfather was a huge influence on me.
00:47:17.000 He was more of a libertarian type, and he would tell me, you know, just kiss their butt, get an A, and then just Everything they say go out the other ear It is a lot like military academy like public school sit down wait for the bell to ring raise your hand Don't speak out of line, you know stand up the dress some places have dress codes.
00:47:40.000 I Wonder if sending kids off to military school at the age of four or five is wise I don't know about military school pre-military school.
00:47:47.000 Let's call it like pre-k.
00:47:48.000 I No, I think having good parents, a good balance between between masculine, feminine and physical activity and mental activity, having a strong father and mother who can provide a good balance of perspective.
00:48:06.000 Suppose not everybody gets that, though.
00:48:08.000 You gotta be lucky.
00:48:09.000 Are you gonna have a dad who's, like, a short, overweight middle manager who is deferential to everybody and just, whenever someone pushes him around, he apologizes and tells his kid to keep his head down and not fight back?
00:48:20.000 Or is he gonna be this, like, ripped lumberjack guy who's like, don't take nothing from nobody.
00:48:24.000 And then he like, here's your shotgun.
00:48:26.000 I know you're seven, but I think you can handle a 12-gauge, son.
00:48:29.000 And then you gotta have the mom being like, don't give him a 12 gauge when he's 7.
00:48:33.000 You gotta have that mix, you know what I mean?
00:48:36.000 Yeah, you gotta give him the 410.
00:48:37.000 Come on, man.
00:48:39.000 Start small.
00:48:40.000 Give a kid a gun that big.
00:48:43.000 No, I don't know.
00:48:43.000 I think, you know, it's tough, especially now because millennials aren't having kids.
00:48:49.000 They lack purpose.
00:48:51.000 And there seems to be a, in my opinion, dangerous cultural shift that has nothing to do with tradition or progression.
00:48:58.000 You know, it's not about being progressive or being a traditionalist.
00:49:01.000 It's about, I mean, humans have kids.
00:49:03.000 You know what I mean?
00:49:04.000 That's our purpose.
00:49:05.000 Yeah.
00:49:06.000 I mean, I don't know if it's purpose, but I know when you have kids, your kids become your purpose.
00:49:12.000 And that if you don't have kids, humanity ceases to exist.
00:49:15.000 Your culture ceases to exist.
00:49:17.000 Here's what's fascinating to me.
00:49:19.000 When I hear from liberals, and their attitude is very much, who cares if America ceases to exist?
00:49:26.000 Have you ever heard the sentiment from liberals?
00:49:28.000 You see them on Twitter?
00:49:30.000 They'll take a quote from a conservative who's like, you have to have kids to preserve America and its culture, and they'll be like, why?
00:49:39.000 And that's why it's really fascinating to see conservatives, this overlaps a lot with like immigration, concern about immigrants coming in and displacing American culture and getting rid of Christmas.
00:49:50.000 Conservatives very much want to preserve, you know, conserve these traditions and their culture.
00:49:55.000 I'm actually not particularly conservative.
00:49:58.000 I just think if you don't have kids, then there's no people.
00:50:01.000 So I mean, I guess we can build robots to replace ourselves.
00:50:03.000 We're not doing that either or live longer.
00:50:06.000 We live to be 200.
00:50:07.000 Then we don't, we need to have like 40% as many children or something.
00:50:11.000 Maybe it's like what you were saying, Ian was an apoptosis.
00:50:15.000 Yeah, that's for real, man.
00:50:16.000 It's like the, the, the mice, the mouse utopia.
00:50:18.000 You get to a certain point where you're just consuming and doing nothing.
00:50:22.000 And you just before, um, the Roman empire crumbled, basically a lot of
00:50:27.000 homosexuality started or homosexuality spiked, I believe.
00:50:31.000 And there was just a lot less making babies.
00:50:34.000 I don't know.
00:50:35.000 They were living in like the age of gluttony, pretty much.
00:50:37.000 They had everything.
00:50:38.000 They didn't care.
00:50:39.000 They didn't want to serve in the military anymore because they might lose what they had and they love their things.
00:50:44.000 And then they got conquered from the outside.
00:50:48.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:50:49.000 I think, you know, people mention a lot the mouse utopia.
00:50:52.000 Have you heard of that?
00:50:53.000 They basically created this space where they put a bunch of mice or rats or something and they gave them all food and said, like, no matter what happened, they never ran out of food.
00:51:00.000 They never ran out of food or water.
00:51:02.000 And so they eventually just, like, some stopped eating.
00:51:06.000 Some started eating others.
00:51:07.000 Some just stopped reproducing and just died.
00:51:10.000 And, you know, people wonder if we as humans are susceptible to something similar where we've reached this point where people don't have to work.
00:51:18.000 And I mean it.
00:51:19.000 When you've got somebody who lives in New York City and their job is to write articles for BuzzFeed, I'm sorry, that's not work.
00:51:27.000 It's not work.
00:51:28.000 Work is like, I have to grow the food, I have to hunt, I have to build the house, I have to start the fire, I have to generate the electricity to power the machines, I have to find the energy source so that we can stay warm in the winter.
00:51:38.000 Writing articles about celebrity gossip is not work.
00:51:42.000 Oh, they'll say it's so hard.
00:51:43.000 Isn't that a good thing, though?
00:51:45.000 Like, I look back, I'm a woman, obviously, but my great-grandfathers were coal miners and such hard work.
00:51:53.000 I look back at my great-grandmother's, like they had to cook everything from scratch and wash everything from, you know, they didn't have laundry machines or dishwashers and I just, I think we're so lucky to not have to do all that stuff.
00:52:05.000 Going back, yes, and so I'll attach that to what Ian was saying about, you're talking about Rome, right?
00:52:10.000 Yeah.
00:52:10.000 Or Greece?
00:52:11.000 Well, both probably.
00:52:13.000 I think there's a lot of vanity and gluttony at the end of both of those.
00:52:17.000 Here's what I see.
00:52:18.000 When the culture is stagnant or if the technology isn't fast enough.
00:52:27.000 It's a weird hybrid moment of reaching that apex of technology with population to where the culture stagnates.
00:52:36.000 Then once Rome collapsed, the technology persisted.
00:52:39.000 A lot of this information persisted and spread out a little bit.
00:52:42.000 And then started to improve, and people started to fight again and work hard again, and then you come to the colonial era, European colonialism and things like that, striving for more and no longer just being like, I want to be a layabout glutton because I have all this stuff.
00:52:56.000 So the technology remains, things become easier, but then the quest re-emerges.
00:53:01.000 So maybe what's going to happen for us is that some kind of, you know, massive, you know, century turning or millennial turning, millennium turning, where we've reached this point where we as a culture are all gluttonous because technology has granted us this.
00:53:19.000 After our culture collapses, then there will be a struggle again, but that technology will still exist.
00:53:25.000 So then in another couple hundred years, it'll be even better for everybody.
00:53:29.000 And then they'll start becoming gluttonous and lazy.
00:53:31.000 You know what I mean?
00:53:32.000 I guess the question is, do we have it too good in America?
00:53:36.000 Because my, my father-in-law is from the Soviet Union and he, you know, it wasn't such a great time in the Soviet Union.
00:53:43.000 He's like, looks at these American kids and teenagers and millennials having this Depression and anxiety and he's like what the heck you guys have pretty much everything you want You live in nice places.
00:53:56.000 You have all this food and why why could you possibly be depressed?
00:54:01.000 Because they don't they don't have a purpose right and I think you know Andrew Yang wants to send everyone $12,000 a year.
00:54:07.000 It's like I don't know.
00:54:11.000 People can just sit back and relax and play video games all day and get a decent apartment and have enough money.
00:54:19.000 Should we get offensive?
00:54:22.000 Should we anger all the feminists?
00:54:24.000 Are you prepared to make feminists angry?
00:54:26.000 Okay, what are we doing here?
00:54:27.000 Alright.
00:54:27.000 Let's go.
00:54:28.000 So I got this.
00:54:29.000 This is actually fairly old.
00:54:31.000 This is from Zach Goldberg.
00:54:32.000 He's a great data researcher and journalist on Twitter.
00:54:35.000 And he tweeted this.
00:54:38.000 He says, overall, with one exception, white moderates, those in the 18 to 29 age group are more likely to report being diagnosed with a mental health condition.
00:54:46.000 The differences among white liberals, though, are striking.
00:54:49.000 Almost half of white liberals in this cohort report a diagnosis.
00:54:54.000 And in this graph, he shows us four different age groups, 18 to 29, 30 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 plus.
00:55:01.000 65 plus from liberal, moderate to conservative, low instances of mental health.
00:55:05.000 I'm sorry, mental health conditions.
00:55:07.000 Low incidence of mental health.
00:55:08.000 No, no, no.
00:55:09.000 The opposite.
00:55:09.000 We just don't have any.
00:55:11.000 This is amazing.
00:55:12.000 Among 18 to 29-year-old white liberals, 45.9% mental illness.
00:55:19.000 White conservatives, 20.9.
00:55:21.000 Less than half.
00:55:22.000 This is amazing.
00:55:23.000 Even among the 65 and up, the white liberals are overwhelmingly more mentally ill than moderates and conservatives.
00:55:31.000 Now we're going to offend the feminists.
00:55:33.000 Let's break down a little bit these demographics, because Zach Goldberg gives us another one.
00:55:42.000 He says, some of you asked for it, so here is the last chart broken down by gender.
00:55:47.000 The biggest gap with age X ideological group is between white liberal men and women in the 18 to 29 category.
00:55:55.000 That's right.
00:55:56.000 White liberal women between the ages of 18 to 29 have a 56.3% instance of being diagnosed with a mental health condition.
00:56:04.000 White liberal men, 33.6%.
00:56:06.000 Among 30 to 49 year olds, white liberals.
00:56:09.000 Women, 39.7%.
00:56:10.000 Men, 29.7%.
00:56:12.000 And it's very, very similar, but even among white conservative women, 27.3% in the 18 to 29 age bracket.
00:56:20.000 Now, the first thing I'll say is, I think the age thing shows us a generational shift in mental health diagnosis.
00:56:27.000 Someone who's 65 probably was not diagnosed with conditions when they were young, and other older don't care to go to the doctor and actually get diagnosed with this.
00:56:36.000 The difference, the important factor, is the gap.
00:56:39.000 Among white liberals, 65 and older, it's almost identical.
00:56:42.000 15.2 to 15%.
00:56:46.000 White liberal men and women, 65 or older, have similar instances of mental health issues.
00:56:51.000 So there is something creating a massive gap between white liberal Gen Z millennials And I think... I think I know what it might be.
00:57:01.000 What is it?
00:57:01.000 Not having families.
00:57:02.000 Yep.
00:57:03.000 Not having relationships.
00:57:04.000 Not necessarily families.
00:57:05.000 Not necessarily kids.
00:57:06.000 But no relationships.
00:57:08.000 And I particularly think no kids.
00:57:10.000 And I wonder if... And you can give me your opinion and Lydia's as well because you're the ladies in the room.
00:57:15.000 We've had other people on the show say that the reason women are unwell and unhappy and depressed is because they're not having children.
00:57:22.000 What do you think, Julie?
00:57:23.000 Yeah, what do you think?
00:57:25.000 Maybe?
00:57:25.000 Sorry, I hope you don't mind me asking, were you ever like super depressed?
00:57:30.000 Did you find this to be an issue for you before you had your kid?
00:57:33.000 I actually got a lot of anxiety after.
00:57:35.000 Postpartum anxiety, yeah.
00:57:38.000 Oh gosh.
00:57:41.000 Yeah, I think with older people, I think there was just a stigma against reaching out and getting therapy and all that.
00:57:49.000 With the younger people, I feel like being a liberal would be so hard because if you don't have kids, like you were talking about, you're focused on all this other stuff and a lot of stuff is just out of your control.
00:58:02.000 Like the liberals are very focused on like climate change issues.
00:58:05.000 I know that's a huge one with them having climate change anxiety and just You know all this racism and stuff and they're it's out of your control where I think conservative people are kind of more focused in words and on the individual and on their families where liberals is like I want to save the world of world peace and it's like no there's Ukraine and Crimea and all this stuff and you can't do anything on an individual level about that.
00:58:28.000 That is such a good point, because you're right, conservatives do focus on the individual level.
00:58:34.000 And that means they do things like make families, they have kids, they focus on their work, they find things to do that are meaningful, and they don't tend to stress too much about stuff that they cannot have any possible control over, like global warming.
00:58:46.000 When it comes to the older people, a lot of them probably did struggle with this stuff and they probably just learned to live with it and maybe never got diagnosed.
00:58:54.000 Or yeah, keep it hush-hush.
00:58:55.000 Just don't suck it up.
00:58:56.000 Yeah, you're destroying the family.
00:58:58.000 Exactly.
00:58:59.000 Keep it together.
00:59:00.000 But then like the whole family thing, I definitely think that the fact that women aren't having children is incredibly depressing to them.
00:59:06.000 I just want to throw my two cents in there because I think that's probably one of the biggest problems that we face.
00:59:11.000 You know the meme about... You guys ever watch Archer?
00:59:14.000 Yeah.
00:59:14.000 Oh, yeah.
00:59:15.000 I love that show.
00:59:16.000 No!
00:59:16.000 I don't think I'm intelligent enough.
00:59:20.000 It's not a smart show.
00:59:21.000 I just play games.
00:59:23.000 Video games.
00:59:24.000 There was that episode where... It's been a long time since I watched Archer.
00:59:28.000 I just rewatched it.
00:59:29.000 What's the name of the... Alana?
00:59:30.000 Is that her name?
00:59:31.000 Uh, wait.
00:59:32.000 Ilana?
00:59:32.000 Lana.
00:59:33.000 Lana.
00:59:33.000 Lana, yeah.
00:59:34.000 Lana!
00:59:35.000 Archer keeps calling her baby crazy.
00:59:36.000 Yes.
00:59:37.000 And it's funny.
00:59:37.000 She is.
00:59:38.000 But it's like, there's a joke that very much resonates with, I think, I think 30 Rock did this.
00:59:44.000 This joke.
00:59:45.000 TV shows and culture have made jokes about women whose biological clocks are ticking and how they want to have kids.
00:59:51.000 Men don't experience that.
00:59:53.000 I'm wondering if that plays a role in why there's a gap between men and women.
00:59:57.000 Like a biological difference.
00:59:59.000 It does for me.
01:00:00.000 I'm not in a rush to have kids, and if I was, I'd be a completely different person.
01:00:06.000 My goals and my behavior would be completely off.
01:00:09.000 That's dudes.
01:00:10.000 Yeah.
01:00:11.000 I can have kids when I'm 80.
01:00:13.000 That's a privilege.
01:00:14.000 Yeah.
01:00:14.000 It's not as easy, but you can.
01:00:16.000 They found that men also lose fertility.
01:00:20.000 I mean, later than women, but like forties and fifties, and there's more of a chance of having a problem with the child.
01:00:27.000 It's true.
01:00:27.000 I don't want to destroy the male ego here.
01:00:30.000 It is true.
01:00:31.000 But the issue is that if a guy's firing off several million each instance, if 90% of those are just deficient, he's got a couple that are working.
01:00:42.000 No, you got like millions.
01:00:43.000 Right.
01:00:44.000 So what happens is that you'll end up seeing, you know, older guys have kids, you know,
01:00:49.000 and for women it's a lot different.
01:00:51.000 You know, I know it's like the craziest thing that this is an offensive topic, but it is
01:00:55.000 like feminists.
01:00:56.000 Whenever I talk about this kind of stuff, it's like all the feminists are lighting me
01:00:58.000 up on Twitter.
01:00:59.000 They're all angry.
01:01:00.000 And I'm like, is it is it wrong to point out that they're they're advising women to freeze
01:01:04.000 their eggs?
01:01:06.000 I mean, do your thing, man.
01:01:07.000 More power to you.
01:01:07.000 It rarely works.
01:01:08.000 It rarely works, freezing eggs.
01:01:11.000 I think we're kind of lying to women, saying, you know, there are instances of 40-year-old women having birth, but they're rare.
01:01:18.000 Do you really want to take that risk?
01:01:20.000 Probably not if you really want kids.
01:01:22.000 So think about this, right?
01:01:23.000 We're talking about mental illness.
01:01:25.000 I don't want to act like I am saying this is the sole reason people experience mental illness.
01:01:28.000 No, of course not.
01:01:29.000 It's a huge factor.
01:01:29.000 But I'm saying, I believe it's a huge factor in the fact that as a 35-year-old guy with no kids, I should probably start thinking about having a family, but I got it.
01:01:39.000 Whatever, I'm a dude.
01:01:41.000 But are you energetic enough for kids if you're 40, 50, 60 baby years old?
01:01:47.000 Because you saw my son, he was jumping up and down on those feed bags.
01:01:51.000 I got energy for days.
01:01:53.000 I'm a crazy person.
01:01:59.000 But the point is, I don't have to consider a biological limitation.
01:02:03.000 If you were a 35 year old woman, you definitely would.
01:02:05.000 So I'm wondering if there are women who are sitting here, and you guys tell me what you think, when they're looking at the media saying, just freeze your eggs, and work, and be a CEO, and they're thinking to themselves, but I want to have kids too!
01:02:17.000 And you've got a combination of mainstream liberal social stigma telling you, no, you can't take time off, and the physical realities of, you might have to.
01:02:27.000 You could be a CEO later in life, though.
01:02:30.000 Like, your kids are so young for such a short amount of time.
01:02:35.000 Like, I'm 32.
01:02:37.000 I have the rest of my life to work.
01:02:39.000 I can be 40, 50 years old.
01:02:41.000 My mom was a stay-at-home mom.
01:02:42.000 She's still working.
01:02:44.000 She got it all.
01:02:45.000 Women, you know, there's also the thing that women can have it all.
01:02:48.000 No, you can't.
01:02:49.000 You can't have it all at the same time.
01:02:51.000 Exactly.
01:02:52.000 Thank you.
01:02:52.000 Okay.
01:02:52.000 Yeah.
01:02:53.000 I think we have it backwards.
01:02:54.000 And I do think that you have a point because I've known so many great and amazing women who went and they raised their kids.
01:02:59.000 They got them like up into high school and they sent them off and they're like, and then they went back to school.
01:03:03.000 A lot of them became nurses.
01:03:04.000 Some of them became teachers and pharmacists and stuff.
01:03:07.000 I was like, that seems like such a good balance because if you want to work by the time you're that age, you'll know exactly what you want to do.
01:03:12.000 Your kids will have a firm start in life.
01:03:14.000 Yeah, and you can have your career and your kids at the same time and you're not worrying about, I'm 35, 40 years old, I might have to get IVF, which is really expensive.
01:03:23.000 You mentioned your kids are really young for a short amount of time.
01:03:26.000 Reminds me of this really funny story.
01:03:28.000 This guy posted on the internet, he was like 25 and he went and visited his dad.
01:03:33.000 Or it's like he was at his parents' house for the holidays and out of nowhere his dad walks in the room and just grabs him and lifts him up as high as he could.
01:03:39.000 And he's like, Dad, what are you doing?
01:03:41.000 And his dad said, I saw a meme where it said, one day you lifted your child for the last time and didn't realize it.
01:03:48.000 And then they both started laughing.
01:03:49.000 His dad was basically like, I can pick my son up whenever I want.
01:03:53.000 But no, it's an interesting point too, like, people don't realize that you pick your kid up one day, the next day you don't, and that may have been the last time and you never notice.
01:04:02.000 There's gonna be a last time.
01:04:03.000 And so that dad walks in, he's like, picking up his 25 year old man of a son.
01:04:08.000 I love it, that's cute.
01:04:09.000 Do you guys think that there's resentment between women and men?
01:04:12.000 The women resenting the men their age that don't want to have kids and don't have to.
01:04:17.000 And the women are like, but I feel guilty for resenting them because they shouldn't have to.
01:04:22.000 They're not biologically bound, so why would they?
01:04:24.000 But then they're internalizing this resentment and lashing out against men.
01:04:29.000 I think there's some women who do, but I think there's some men who do, you know what I mean?
01:04:35.000 My bigger concern is not the individual, it's what we're encouraging and exacerbating in culture.
01:04:41.000 I would ask that because I think I have some deep resentment against women that want to have kids with me at my age because they are on a time clock I'm not, and I know they are, and I shouldn't feel that.
01:04:53.000 It's hard, the pressure, yeah.
01:04:55.000 Well, I think that's why you more often see a younger woman and an older man.
01:04:59.000 I think it kind of makes sense.
01:05:01.000 The men at a later age are more financially stable, more mature, and they're better able to raise a child where the younger woman is both more fertile.
01:05:10.000 So I think that that combination makes more sense.
01:05:16.000 So I would say, you know, if you're a young 20 something year old girl, Probably don't date guys that are in their young 20s because most of them, you know, they don't want to have kids right now and they don't have to.
01:05:28.000 Maybe go a decade up or so.
01:05:30.000 That's just my opinion.
01:05:32.000 And now here's the really offensive part for the feminists.
01:05:36.000 The kind of person who's going to be writing an article consistently, or writing articles consistently, Is not likely to be, you know, a stay-at-home mom who's got kids and dealing with them.
01:05:48.000 You tend to see the careerist feminists who are in these positions at media outlets with the time and energy to write these articles.
01:05:55.000 So their perspective is that of one type of person, right?
01:06:00.000 Oh yeah, as a stay-at-home mom you don't really have as powerful as a voice, I would say.
01:06:05.000 Right.
01:06:06.000 Definitely.
01:06:06.000 It's really fascinating to see all these feminist writers, and it's no surprise then, that many of the women who work in digital media are feminists, because, you know, they don't want to have families, they want a career, and they want to fight for that.
01:06:19.000 That's their opinion, that's why they're there, or one of the reasons, and they're going to write those opinions over and over and over again.
01:06:25.000 Then it's interesting, because I wonder how that affects Other men who know it's like, Hey, I want to have a kid
01:06:29.000 before this age, but everything you read from every woman in a high profile media position is saying, don't have kids
01:06:35.000 freeze your eggs.
01:06:36.000 I was thinking if my mom had focused all the energy she focused on me and my brothers into the world, it would have
01:06:43.000 been very bad for the world because she was very neurotic, not in a harmful way, but the neuroticism as a personality
01:06:51.000 trait, overly just micromanaging and wanting everything to be perfect.
01:06:56.000 And for me to not be exposed to the wrong thing, and like, if she had been doing that to other people, I think that
01:07:00.000 would have been devastating.
01:07:02.000 So I see your point.
01:07:04.000 I don't know these people are blogging and as opposed to treat.
01:07:07.000 Well, so I When I look at this chart from Zach Goldberg, and you can see that consistently there's a gap between men and women.
01:07:13.000 Except for moderates, between 50 and 64, men are more likely to... This is fascinating.
01:07:18.000 Check this out.
01:07:19.000 Among white moderates, men are more likely to have been diagnosed with a mental illness by about one percentage point.
01:07:26.000 You wanna know what I think that might be?
01:07:27.000 50 to 64 years old.
01:07:29.000 Divorce?
01:07:32.000 No.
01:07:33.000 War veterans?
01:07:34.000 Oh, yeah.
01:07:35.000 Vietnam.
01:07:36.000 Korea, maybe.
01:07:37.000 Yeah.
01:07:38.000 Yeah.
01:07:38.000 Even Iraq at this point.
01:07:40.000 Yeah.
01:07:40.000 The first Iraq war in 1993.
01:07:42.000 God, 20 years ago.
01:07:44.000 Which was way more brutal than we heard about in the news, by the way.
01:07:45.000 20 years ago.
01:07:46.000 Some of these guys might have been 30 years old, and they might have been a career, had a career in the military, and now they're getting deployed, and so they've seen some stuff.
01:07:53.000 But that's only one group.
01:07:54.000 It's only moderates.
01:07:55.000 I mean, among liberals, it's not there.
01:07:56.000 Among conservatives, it's still women.
01:07:58.000 But I wonder, why is it, and no matter what you say, you're going to offend somebody, that women consistently report having more mental health conditions?
01:08:07.000 Is it because women are more willing to go to the doctor?
01:08:10.000 Yeah, probably.
01:08:13.000 Or is it because men are big and strong and nothing gonna get me down?
01:08:17.000 Depression?
01:08:18.000 I'll punch it out of myself.
01:08:21.000 I'll just forget about it.
01:08:22.000 Guy wakes up.
01:08:23.000 He's like, I'm depressed today.
01:08:24.000 So he punches himself in the face.
01:08:26.000 He's like, no, I'm not.
01:08:28.000 I'm pretty sure that would be a mental illness.
01:08:31.000 Maybe you should go to the doctor.
01:08:32.000 Yeah, I think, you know, seeing a therapist admitting you have a problem is seen as a weakness to men.
01:08:41.000 I don't want to acknowledge my own neuroses.
01:08:44.000 I feel stupid when I do that.
01:08:46.000 And I feel like I'm creating it when it wasn't there.
01:08:49.000 I think for me it's more, I'm too arrogant.
01:08:52.000 Not in that I'm like, no one's going to tell me I'm weak.
01:08:55.000 It's kind of like, no, I self-analyze and I self-diagnose and then I try to assess and solve any things that I see in myself.
01:09:04.000 So when I'm feeling depressed, when I'm anxious, when I'm angry, I kind of, you know, question and think about it and try and figure out what's conducive to a positive working environment or to my goals.
01:09:15.000 And if this thing I'm feeling isn't doing that, then I need to navigate that myself.
01:09:19.000 And I do, and it works for me.
01:09:20.000 Are you more self-reliant than a woman who may see a benefit in talking to another person about it?
01:09:26.000 Talking.
01:09:27.000 Or a man.
01:09:28.000 Or a man, sorry.
01:09:29.000 Self-reliance.
01:09:30.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09:31.000 How do you build that trait up?
01:09:33.000 I don't know.
01:09:34.000 Practice?
01:09:34.000 Go wander through the woods for a few days by yourself and learn how to survive, I guess.
01:09:39.000 Responsibly, with a cell phone.
01:09:41.000 When you were making YouTube videos in the early days, would you just hyper-analyze your behavior?
01:09:47.000 No.
01:09:48.000 You never like just poured over your videos and was like watching yourself and thinking like, oh, that I have that trait.
01:09:54.000 I can't watch.
01:09:55.000 No, it's the comment sections that do that for me.
01:09:57.000 Yeah, right.
01:09:59.000 Tim sure has listened a whole lot.
01:10:00.000 I'm like, I know.
01:10:01.000 I've learned a lot about myself from reading the comments section.
01:10:05.000 Yeah, you've got a decentralized network of people talking about what you're doing wrong.
01:10:09.000 It's like, it's great.
01:10:10.000 You know, when, when, when, when they're in good faith, but even when they're not, it's funny because there's a lot of people who will claim, claim I say something too much, not realizing that there's like a period where for like a few days, I'll say one thing too much and then it goes away.
01:10:23.000 That does happen to people.
01:10:25.000 We go through phases of like sayings and stuff, or even like the way we talk, like accents.
01:10:31.000 Sometimes your posture probably for a few days will be a certain way.
01:10:35.000 Yes, we all straighten up.
01:10:36.000 That's interesting.
01:10:36.000 Yeah, there was a period where I would say, at the end of the day, like 10 times in a video.
01:10:40.000 I remember that, yeah.
01:10:41.000 And then people were like, dude, you say at the end of the day all the time.
01:10:43.000 I'm like, yeah, that's a good point.
01:10:44.000 I should stop saying that.
01:10:46.000 And then there was like a, then like when I was trying to correct it, I'd be recording and I'd be like, look, anyway, at the end of the day, then I'd stop and I'd be like, okay.
01:10:54.000 Self-correcting.
01:10:54.000 I love it.
01:10:55.000 So anyway, and then I'd go and I'd chop it out.
01:10:58.000 Oh, nice.
01:10:58.000 Do a clever edit so you can't see it.
01:11:00.000 I got a question.
01:11:01.000 So do you think this is why the APA thinks that masculinity is toxic or whatever?
01:11:05.000 Because guys don't go to therapists?
01:11:07.000 Because they do things like self-analyze and tend to be stoic and they don't really want to talk about their feelings?
01:11:12.000 What do you think?
01:11:13.000 Probably.
01:11:13.000 What's APA stand for?
01:11:15.000 American Psychological Association.
01:11:16.000 I think the reality is that there are some men who are just weak, pathetic, and they can't handle the realities, and there are some strong men who just don't need to be told what's wrong with them.
01:11:28.000 I'm kidding.
01:11:29.000 But in all seriousness, there are some guys that are stoic and calm and pragmatic and rational, and there are some guys who do need help who feel like they can't do it because they have to emulate these other kind of guys, you know what I mean?
01:11:42.000 So, for me, like I said, I don't think there's any kind of sitting down and talking to someone about my feelings that's ever gonna help me in any way.
01:11:50.000 It would absolutely waste my time.
01:11:52.000 And I'd be frustrated and angered by it.
01:11:54.000 If I have an issue and I'm feeling some way, I have to, like, navigate in my brain and, like, draw it out, figure out what it is, what's bothering me.
01:12:04.000 Okay.
01:12:05.000 Now we can move forward.
01:12:06.000 Here's our plan.
01:12:07.000 Sitting down and talking with someone would be like, I'd be looking at them going, you're going too slow for me.
01:12:10.000 I need to solve this problem in five minutes, not an hour.
01:12:13.000 This doesn't work.
01:12:14.000 But there are a lot of people that do need that person and they're scared to talk about it because they want to be seen as tough.
01:12:19.000 They don't want to be seen as weak.
01:12:21.000 They need to do it.
01:12:22.000 People need to realize about the individual man.
01:12:23.000 It's about you.
01:12:24.000 You need what you need.
01:12:25.000 So I'll tell you this.
01:12:26.000 The one thing you should always do is don't care what other people think about you.
01:12:29.000 People are like, you went to the doctor.
01:12:30.000 It's like, I did.
01:12:31.000 I felt like I needed it.
01:12:32.000 Then you should do it.
01:12:33.000 You should absolutely do it.
01:12:35.000 So, you know, one of my favorite quotes from Marcus Aurelius is that even a soldier needs the help of his fellow soldiers.
01:12:40.000 And I was thinking that, to me, speaks about the psychology of men even back in the Roman Empire.
01:12:46.000 Like, this is something that he knew that people needed to hear, especially guys.
01:12:49.000 Like, you have to put it in a way that guys understand and sympathize with.
01:12:52.000 I definitely feel like, for me personally, when I hear the narrative of guys being too macho and not wanting to go to the doctor, it really feels like a woman's perspective.
01:13:04.000 Absolutely.
01:13:05.000 I don't hear it from guys.
01:13:06.000 I swear to God, in my life, I have seen a guy cry a handful of times.
01:13:13.000 I've talked to my friends, and I've rarely, if ever, had a guy be like, I need help, and like crying about their depression.
01:13:19.000 But I have had guys who've done that.
01:13:21.000 I have seen people who have lost loved ones, who have lost their dog or whatever, and it's devastating, and they're in pain, and they want to talk about it, or they want to be alone and just work through their feelings.
01:13:31.000 But I definitely feel like, for me personally, Whenever I hear this narrative, you know, oh, so many men are hurting and they're too scared because they have to be macho, I'm like, I just think that women are more emotional than guys.
01:13:43.000 And that's okay.
01:13:44.000 Yeah, that's totally fine.
01:13:48.000 I guess if you're talking to the constructivists though, this whole conversation is bannable.
01:13:54.000 That's right.
01:13:55.000 Because they believe everything's blank slate, you know?
01:13:57.000 It's like they say there's no difference between men and women and then they do the transsexual thing.
01:14:02.000 It's like they're... I just don't get it.
01:14:04.000 It seems like inconsistent.
01:14:07.000 So you're admitting that you're a bigot?
01:14:10.000 I'm just saying like they're saying.
01:14:12.000 It seems like they're saying there's no difference between men and women.
01:14:15.000 Women are not more emotional than men.
01:14:17.000 And then they say there's a transsexual thing where you can switch genders because genders are different.
01:14:21.000 And it's like...
01:14:22.000 Well, so this is an interesting thing.
01:14:25.000 You need to understand there's actually two generations of thought in the trans community.
01:14:30.000 There's the binary trans and the non-binary trans.
01:14:32.000 So there have been some very prominent trans women cancelled, you know, attacked and harassed.
01:14:37.000 by the Gen Z transgender individuals, because in their ideology, it's gender non-binary, gender spectrum.
01:14:45.000 So it doesn't necessarily mean that you're transitioning from male, you know, man to woman.
01:14:50.000 You're literally just moving between this spectrum.
01:14:53.000 So some people are gender fluid, which means they can trans back and forth, depending on the time of the day.
01:14:58.000 And there's a bunch of other genders where they say it fits at some point.
01:15:01.000 On a scale of one to a thousand, you know, I'm a 327 leaning, you know, male or whatever.
01:15:07.000 But for the older generation, it tends to be more binary trans.
01:15:12.000 So some of the friends that I have were definitely in the category of more binary.
01:15:18.000 They genuinely believed there were only two genders, only two biological sexes, etc.
01:15:23.000 Now when those people go online and post these things, they get attacked and harassed by the younger generation that believes it's a spectrum.
01:15:31.000 I think one of the interesting ways to describe the difference in the ideologies is the common, the colloquial terminology, assigned male at birth or assigned female at birth.
01:15:44.000 So, in my opinion, it's a strange way of looking at it, and it fits into this idea that male and female don't exist, when in fact they do.
01:15:53.000 Male and female literally exist.
01:15:55.000 You don't look at a giraffe and then say, we don't know if it's male or female because it hasn't told us.
01:16:00.000 You literally just say, well, you know, we looked at it and we can see it's...
01:16:05.000 Yeah, it comes down to like this argument about the nuance between understanding and how you quantify things.
01:16:13.000 And it's not always easy to create a criteria for quantification.
01:16:16.000 But the typical understanding, male and female, is a reference to the, what are they called, gametes?
01:16:21.000 Is that the right word?
01:16:21.000 Yeah, the sex cells.
01:16:23.000 The sex cells that they produce.
01:16:24.000 And then whenever you say that, you'll get, you know, one of these left individuals saying, so a person who can't produce them anymore is no longer, and you're like, The exceptions.
01:16:36.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:16:37.000 But it's such a little...
01:16:39.000 But anyway, long story short, there's no unified ideology in gender ideology.
01:16:43.000 And so what happens then is Twitter's rule set and YouTube's rule set doesn't fit either one.
01:16:49.000 It goes for both, creating this fractured, all-encompassing and broken contradictory rule set in many regards.
01:16:56.000 So it's very confusing to navigate.
01:16:57.000 Humans are animals.
01:16:58.000 We've always got to remember that.
01:17:00.000 We're part of the animal kingdom.
01:17:01.000 Always have been, always will be.
01:17:04.000 Unless we evolved to a different species, but the Homo sapien is an animal, and when we're born we have sex organs.
01:17:09.000 Now, you can always re-identify gender and what that means, and I think they're, like you were saying, their terms of service are trying to acknowledge both.
01:17:17.000 Like, you can still kind of have the biological argument, but they're trying to placate or make sure that people don't get hurt if their emotions aren't trampled on, or that people have the right to artistically express their gender beliefs and things like that.
01:17:31.000 I have a red line in this.
01:17:34.000 You know what I mean?
01:17:34.000 It's like civil rights for everybody.
01:17:36.000 People should be allowed to defend themselves, to live, be happy, to be free from violence.
01:17:42.000 If we're all paying taxes, then we should be allowed to share in the bounty of whatever those taxes are supposed to be paying for.
01:17:47.000 Even blowing up kids, right?
01:17:48.000 Which is the bad part of it.
01:17:49.000 But hey, that's reality, and that's the kind of stuff we don't want to happen.
01:17:52.000 The long story short is, I would love for, you know, my transgendered married friends to be armed to the teeth and buying their drugs with Bitcoin and be free from oppression from the government because they want to be in private on their farm.
01:18:04.000 You know what I mean?
01:18:04.000 Very pro-liberty, protect the people, let them protect themselves and let them do their thing.
01:18:10.000 I guess for me, I have a hard line on this idea that male and female don't exist.
01:18:14.000 Like, that's clearly just not true and it's becoming this weird anti-science movement.
01:18:18.000 Where I turn on the TV and they say outright, like, assigned male at birth.
01:18:23.000 Like, you weren't assigned it.
01:18:25.000 You were, like, you know.
01:18:26.000 It's like red.
01:18:28.000 Maybe they could say identified male at birth.
01:18:30.000 Maybe it would make more sense.
01:18:31.000 Because I guess what they're trying to say is that there are some people who are intersex.
01:18:35.000 And so if they're born and they appear to be male, a doctor could say you are when you're not.
01:18:40.000 And then, I guess, identified by doctor as would make more sense.
01:18:43.000 Why are we changing the complete language because of this small minority of people?
01:18:48.000 It doesn't make sense.
01:18:50.000 It could be that it's an evolution of our species and now we're in the early ages of multi-sex organisms that we've been evolving into.
01:19:01.000 The issue is authoritarianism.
01:19:02.000 That's the only issue I have.
01:19:03.000 If you try to force people to do things.
01:19:05.000 But there's a range, the statistics show it's between like, I think it's like 0.6% to like 1.3% of people that are non, they don't fall perfectly into XX or XY.
01:19:19.000 And if we're then going to try and navigate how we respect, you know, 1.3 on the high end or even, you know, 0.6, that's still a lot of people.
01:19:27.000 And I have no problem being like, hey man, you know, let me know what makes you comfortable.
01:19:30.000 I'm here to work with you and things like that.
01:19:33.000 The problem is the authoritarianism.
01:19:34.000 So like if someone comes to me and just says, by the way, you know, this is how I prefer to be addressed.
01:19:40.000 I just be like, okay, you know, whatever.
01:19:42.000 If the government comes out and says, you must or else, I'd be like, I don't know about that one.
01:19:48.000 It is really weird though.
01:19:49.000 There's this case going on right now where a teacher refused to refer to a trans student by, um, I think miss or I'm not sure.
01:19:55.000 Maybe it was mister.
01:19:56.000 Uh, and then he referred to the student who was, you know, assigned female at birth as, as the nomenclature says and got sued, got in trouble, got threatened.
01:20:05.000 And then he filed a lawsuit saying it was free speech.
01:20:07.000 I just find it interesting, right?
01:20:09.000 If a teacher was like, I'm not going to call you what you want to be called.
01:20:12.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:14.000 Regardless of whether it's a pronoun, what if the teacher was like, hey Dingus!
01:20:18.000 It's like, my name's Bill.
01:20:19.000 I don't care, Dingus.
01:20:20.000 I can call you whatever I want.
01:20:22.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:22.000 So it's kind of like, not even necessarily humiliation, but I get the idea that people are like, I believe in using language this way and forcing someone to change how they speak because pronouns aren't someone's name.
01:20:35.000 Pronouns are a function of language, not an individual.
01:20:38.000 I just think there's also an interesting argument to be like, what if a teacher is calling you an insult?
01:20:41.000 Would we be like, don't call them?
01:20:43.000 What if he called you not even an insult and just called you like... The wrong name over and over again.
01:20:47.000 Yeah, and didn't care.
01:20:47.000 Acknowledging.
01:20:48.000 And then you kept complaining like, that's not my name.
01:20:50.000 You know, I wish the teacher would get my name right.
01:20:53.000 They'd probably be reprimanded by the school, I would imagine.
01:20:55.000 That's a good point.
01:20:58.000 All right, we're gonna read this article because we had this pulled up before and I'm gonna tell everybody right now before we read this article I'll tell you the one thing everybody we hear the most of from guests and in conversations Not everybody says this and it's a small minority people do but we've had people come in and say I'm more than happy to do the show so long as you don't ever ask me questions about transgenderism or trans people And I'd be like, I mean, if there's news, there's news.
01:21:26.000 If there's not, there's not.
01:21:28.000 And I gotta tell you, if someone comes on the show and they're like, I won't talk about this, there's no point in asking because they'll just not interact with you and it'll be a really weird conversation where you're like, so what do you think?
01:21:39.000 And they just don't say anything, so it's like, alright I guess.
01:21:42.000 And the reason for it is, almost no matter what you do, you get attacked when you bring this stuff up.
01:21:48.000 Well, I don't know what else to do, but, you know, talk about it.
01:21:50.000 We have this story from the New York Post.
01:21:52.000 CNN ridiculed for saying there is no consensus for assigning sex at birth.
01:21:57.000 The New York Post reports, CNN is being ridiculed online for insisting there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth, with critics telling the network to look just below the waist for insight.
01:22:07.000 The Left-Leaning Network statement was quickly shared online after appeared in a news story Wednesday about South Dakota banning transgender athletes from women's sports.
01:22:14.000 It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth, CNN's Devin Cole wrote.
01:22:23.000 Critics quickly ripped the outlet for reporting it as straight fact, rather than attributing it to others and noting differing views.
01:22:29.000 Quote, I've gotten used to a lot of woke craziness.
01:22:32.000 Never thought I'd see biological sex in scare quotes, a Twitter user wrote.
01:22:36.000 CNN isn't a news organization.
01:22:38.000 They're straight up activists.
01:22:39.000 Online media critic Lee Sabotka wrote, while conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said only an idiot would believe the network's claim.
01:22:47.000 Others suggested a simple solution.
01:22:48.000 I'm not a doctor, CNN, but if you look just below the waist, you may get some insight.
01:22:53.000 And then they're just quoting a bunch of Twitter users ragging on CNN, but CNN literally did this.
01:22:58.000 When did this come out?
01:22:59.000 When did CNN do that?
01:23:00.000 A couple days ago, last week.
01:23:02.000 I mean, this story's from yesterday.
01:23:03.000 And we were thinking about talking about it, but a lot of people don't, you know, want to bring it up.
01:23:07.000 It's a hot potato.
01:23:08.000 That's dumb.
01:23:09.000 It's dumb?
01:23:10.000 Yeah.
01:23:11.000 Can I talk about it?
01:23:12.000 No, biological sex is real.
01:23:14.000 It is real.
01:23:15.000 It's how we make more people.
01:23:16.000 Yeah.
01:23:18.000 You either got that or this.
01:23:20.000 Well, I think one problem with this... Well, hold on, hold on.
01:23:22.000 To be fair, Or intersex.
01:23:24.000 That's the issue at hand, is that...
01:23:28.000 You do have a lot of people who are like, it's either that or this.
01:23:31.000 Then you have people like Dr. Deborah So, for instance, who's very intelligent, saying, well, you know, it's bimodal, there is an overlap, but for the most part, it's overwhelmingly, you know, male or female.
01:23:45.000 If you want to have like an honest, nuanced conversation, it's really difficult to have in hyper-polarized times.
01:23:50.000 But I'm sorry, like, I have a line, right?
01:23:52.000 Biological sex is real.
01:23:54.000 To say there's no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth, I don't like the phrase assigning it.
01:24:00.000 That's very activist-y.
01:24:01.000 They identify you as, the doctor sees it and says, this is what the baby is.
01:24:05.000 And they can be wrong, and they have been wrong.
01:24:07.000 There's some prominent activists who were incorrectly identified because they were intersex.
01:24:13.000 Like there's one woman who is actually biologically male, based on DNA.
01:24:18.000 And the issue was, I forgot what the syndrome is called, But did not develop, like the testes did not produce testosterone.
01:24:26.000 So now they very much, this individual looks very much female, even though genetically is male.
01:24:33.000 And so then when you have a doctor say that, and they realize that's not true, it doesn't fit how they feel, and they actually want to be a man, like, yeah, that makes sense.
01:24:40.000 These people are real.
01:24:41.000 They exist.
01:24:42.000 You know, making sure we protect the rights of all people is part of the conversation.
01:24:46.000 But when you get activists coming out and saying, actually, there's no biological sex, It's like, okay, what I got from this is this writer said, it's difficult or challenging to establish gender identity at birth.
01:24:58.000 And then immediately in the next sentence said biological sex, as if they were the same thing.
01:25:04.000 No, gender identity and biological sex are different.
01:25:08.000 Yep.
01:25:09.000 And they used to make that argument.
01:25:10.000 That used to be their strongest case.
01:25:12.000 They were like, gender isn't sex.
01:25:14.000 Sex isn't gender.
01:25:15.000 Who would ever possibly confuse the two?
01:25:16.000 Yeah, that's what I learned in my college sociology classes.
01:25:20.000 And now it seems like it's flipped, where it's like there's interchangeable.
01:25:24.000 Yeah.
01:25:24.000 I think that's due to the media.
01:25:26.000 I think it's due to a bunch of really dumb people who work in media who don't understand things, who write about things and conflated them and made the mistake.
01:25:33.000 For real.
01:25:34.000 So what happens is you'll get some like intellectual saying, well biological sex does exist.
01:25:38.000 Gender is the social constructs that have formed around the biological sexes and thus people could identify between any of, you know, and any in between or outside of gender.
01:25:49.000 In fact, if it is a simple social construct, then certainly someone could make up their own social
01:25:54.000 construct.
01:25:55.000 And that's an intellectual argument.
01:25:57.000 And then someone who works for like the New York Times or Huffington Post goes,
01:25:59.000 biological sex ain't real.
01:26:02.000 Because they didn't understand the actual argument being presented.
01:26:06.000 Over time, it morphs into, you're not male.
01:26:09.000 So this is another issue I take when they say someone is like, they're a transgender person, transitioned to male or female.
01:26:16.000 I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
01:26:17.000 Between man or woman.
01:26:18.000 I thought it was trans woman, not trans male.
01:26:20.000 I thought that was offensive to say.
01:26:22.000 But it's really hard to keep up with.
01:26:23.000 There's another reason why a lot of people just refuse to talk about this stuff.
01:26:26.000 Because what you say today could be offensive next week.
01:26:29.000 It could be the right thing to say today, offensive next week.
01:26:31.000 Case in point, Wimmickson.
01:26:33.000 Do you know about Wimmickson?
01:26:36.000 Wim-ex-in.
01:26:37.000 Have you heard that?
01:26:37.000 No.
01:26:38.000 It's Wim-in with an X. Oh, yeah.
01:26:40.000 I've never heard it pronounced.
01:26:43.000 So it's Wim-ex-in.
01:26:45.000 Wim-ex-in.
01:26:47.000 The X is supposed to symbolize the symbol for trans.
01:26:50.000 And so they changed the O to an X. It might work in written language, but in spoken language it's confusing and people are like... Yeah, I didn't know what you were talking about.
01:26:58.000 I've seen it on Twitter, but yeah.
01:27:00.000 Yeah, it's a very, very online thing.
01:27:01.000 Regular people probably don't understand.
01:27:04.000 Well, when that word was made, it was appropriate.
01:27:07.000 And then, for some reason, a month later, it became offensive.
01:27:09.000 You know, a couple months later, some organization used the word and got attacked.
01:27:13.000 How dare you use that word!
01:27:15.000 Trans women are women, so you don't need to say Wemexin.
01:27:18.000 Then a year later, they started using Wemexin again.
01:27:21.000 So it's like, no matter what you do, someone will claim, someone will say it's wrong.
01:27:26.000 It's like, it's like I mentioned before, the liberal, uh, circular firing squad or Mexican standoff, where they're all staring at each other, waiting for anything they can use as an infraction.
01:27:34.000 So people don't want to talk about this.
01:27:35.000 Importantly, I think don't, don't ridicule it and not publicly.
01:27:39.000 If you're going to talk about it, do not ridicule this stuff.
01:27:41.000 Don't be mean to people.
01:27:42.000 Yeah, as easy as it is to be like, well that seems stupid to me, so let's make a joke.
01:27:46.000 Don't do it.
01:27:47.000 It's not stupid to everybody and it won't be.
01:27:49.000 In the future it'll probably be more important to other people.
01:27:52.000 You know what bothers me about a lot of conservatives is their desire to be mean.
01:27:57.000 Like, I'm smarter and better and you're dumb.
01:28:00.000 I'm not saying every single one of them, but I see it a lot and I'm like, I don't like that.
01:28:05.000 You know, I don't like someone who's like, they would approach a story like this by laughing and ridiculing and being mean.
01:28:10.000 And I'm like, dude, but you don't win arguments by doing that.
01:28:13.000 You know, a good example is when Milo Yiannopoulos fat shamed a guy to gym.
01:28:19.000 And I was like, I asked him, I was like, why would you do that?
01:28:22.000 And he was like, it works.
01:28:23.000 And I'm like, it already worked!
01:28:25.000 The guy's in the gym!
01:28:25.000 Now you're gonna scan him off the gym.
01:28:27.000 What are you doing, man?
01:28:28.000 You know?
01:28:29.000 Like, uh, I understand that there are people who believe fat shaming works because it makes you want to lose weight and get active.
01:28:35.000 But the guy in the gym?
01:28:36.000 He's already there.
01:28:37.000 You won!
01:28:37.000 Yeah.
01:28:38.000 He's doing it.
01:28:39.000 He's like, he's fighting.
01:28:40.000 That's the kind of guy.
01:28:41.000 It's not nice.
01:28:41.000 Yeah.
01:28:42.000 It's beyond not nice.
01:28:43.000 It's ineffective.
01:28:44.000 Like, what's your real goal there?
01:28:45.000 Counterproductive.
01:28:46.000 Someone actually was saying that we were talking about something about mental illness and how we were being like kind of kind and like You know people need help people need help in society But that I had been too hard on people that are obese and that I'm treating it like it's not a mental illness and I think they might be right because I've been You know, I'm a huge foodie and into sugar and make the best of it make the best everybody comes here They're like, what was that brookie inmate?
01:29:11.000 I'm like, wow, and I'm like obesity is a pro obesity is a problem and I do believe what we see this problem, but I do not want to ostracize people that are I have that problem.
01:29:21.000 This is a guy, ladies and gentlemen, who complains about the sugar industry and then makes the
01:29:25.000 best bread.
01:29:26.000 I know.
01:29:27.000 What the heck?
01:29:28.000 A little bit of sugar goes a long way.
01:29:29.000 A little bit.
01:29:30.000 People, people, people, it's like a fresh bread and they cut a slice of it and people
01:29:34.000 are like impressed every time and then you go and complain, but the sugar's bad and you're
01:29:38.000 the one giving it to them.
01:29:39.000 Two teaspoons of white granulated sugar for five cups of flour.
01:29:43.000 Four and a half cups of flour.
01:29:44.000 Is that your secret technique?
01:29:45.000 It was actually from Paula Deen.
01:29:48.000 I'll give you the skinny, that recipe is a Paula Deen recipe.
01:29:50.000 Wait, was she the racist one?
01:29:51.000 Yes.
01:29:53.000 Paula Deen pizza dough, that recipe.
01:29:55.000 So you're a hypocrite and a racist.
01:29:57.000 Apparently I support a racist, I didn't even know.
01:29:59.000 Oh my gosh.
01:30:00.000 But Ian, I wanted to ask you, have you ever watched My 600-lb Life?
01:30:04.000 No.
01:30:04.000 I did and I was really struck by the fact that I didn't watch it like as a show.
01:30:08.000 I've seen the commercials.
01:30:09.000 No, it's okay.
01:30:10.000 I watch 90 Day Fiancé.
01:30:11.000 It's okay.
01:30:12.000 So I actually, I watched some of it for a speech that I wrote and I was like, it's never about food.
01:30:18.000 It's always about something else.
01:30:20.000 These people are abused, they're being enabled, they've been manipulated, they're being like, their parents will go out and bring them to stuff because they can no longer leave their house.
01:30:28.000 And it's like, it's not about food.
01:30:29.000 The food is filling a gap.
01:30:31.000 And we're lucky in America, we can use it.
01:30:33.000 We don't use alcohol like Russians do.
01:30:35.000 There's always a coping mechanism.
01:30:38.000 Yeah, it is a coping mechanism, food.
01:30:39.000 I can see that.
01:30:40.000 You were talking about conservatives just being mean.
01:30:44.000 Well, I want to clarify, too.
01:30:45.000 I want to clarify real quick.
01:30:47.000 There are some conservatives that like being mean.
01:30:49.000 Yeah, they want to trigger the libs and do dumb stuff.
01:30:54.000 Well, I think a lot of conservatives complain about virtue signaling, which is true.
01:30:59.000 I mean, some stuff you just kind of have to roll your eyes at people like, I'm such a great person, blah, blah, blah.
01:31:03.000 But I think on the right, there's also vice signaling.
01:31:07.000 I've seen it a lot over this COVID thing where people take selfies of them in the grocery store without a mask.
01:31:13.000 And it's like, look at me.
01:31:14.000 It's the opposite of virtue signaling.
01:31:17.000 It's the same thing.
01:31:18.000 It is still virtue signaling, though.
01:31:20.000 It's just for their side.
01:31:22.000 Yeah, I call it vice signaling because it's, yeah, it's... Look at how bad I can be.
01:31:27.000 Yeah, how bad I can be, yeah.
01:31:30.000 It's effectively the same thing.
01:31:32.000 I understand your point, though, by signaling, like, when somebody goes on Twitter and just insults and berates somebody because the right is piling on.
01:31:42.000 So, I just am absolutely not a fan of that stuff.
01:31:45.000 Yeah, like the whole like Meghan Markle thing.
01:31:49.000 Like, I looked at this and I had no opinion about it, but I saw a bunch of conservatives attacking her and I'm just like, did you care about this yesterday?
01:31:58.000 I didn't and I don't know!
01:31:59.000 Yeah, it's just they just want to be like rude, I guess.
01:32:04.000 I got hit up by Fox.
01:32:05.000 They wanted to have me on.
01:32:06.000 So a lot of people saw me on Fox talking about big tech and social media.
01:32:09.000 There were some other instances where I've recently been on Fox as well, not on the TV, on like radio and other segments.
01:32:15.000 You have to have an opinion on everything.
01:32:16.000 Meghan Markle thing.
01:32:17.000 And so I get an email from a producer and they're like, can you
01:32:19.000 talk about this? And I was like, I don't know anything about the royal
01:32:21.000 family.
01:32:22.000 And they're like, oh, OK.
01:32:24.000 It was, you know, it's big news.
01:32:25.000 You have to have an opinion on everything.
01:32:26.000 I was just like, I purposefully avoid nonsense.
01:32:29.000 Like the royal family does not have any like it's celebrity
01:32:33.000 gossip for Americans.
01:32:34.000 Fought a war.
01:32:34.000 Yeah, we fought a war.
01:32:35.000 Did not have to worry about the royal family.
01:32:37.000 I wonder how frequently they hit up people and they're like, the answer
01:32:40.000 is always yes.
01:32:41.000 If I'm asked to go on TV because it's good for my career, even if I know
01:32:44.000 So you get a lot of these people just feigning, you know, knowledge.
01:32:49.000 At least you had the fortitude to acknowledge you weren't worth their time.
01:32:54.000 You didn't seize the opportunity for your own selfish gain.
01:32:58.000 For, you know, some advice, I guess, to say, you know, there are a lot of people who absolutely are like, oh man, I can go on TV?
01:33:04.000 Tell me what to say.
01:33:05.000 I never do that.
01:33:06.000 I'm like, I don't have anything to say about the Royal Family.
01:33:08.000 I'm not interested.
01:33:09.000 Like, I've been invited on a bunch of big podcasts.
01:33:11.000 I say no.
01:33:12.000 I'm like, eh.
01:33:12.000 What am I going to talk about?
01:33:13.000 You give me something I can talk about, maybe I'll do it.
01:33:16.000 Otherwise, I don't know, whatever.
01:33:18.000 I think if people just focus on themselves and what they want to do and stay true to themselves, it's their better path forward.
01:33:25.000 But going back to the thing about conservatives, we know that there are a lot of leftists who are virtue signalers, who will mock and grift and berate people on the right, or just not the left, and lie about them in order to earn points.
01:33:40.000 I think a really good example is this show, exactly.
01:33:42.000 I had a big argument with this friend of mine.
01:33:46.000 And what had happened was I made a post about the Chauvin trial.
01:33:50.000 Like, here's what happened.
01:33:51.000 This is crazy.
01:33:51.000 This is huge for the defense.
01:33:52.000 The defense basically said George Floyd had OD'd before and had similar symptoms at the time of his arrest here.
01:33:59.000 And we learned that, according to his girlfriend, the dude with Floyd was their dealer.
01:34:04.000 So I'm like, this is huge for the defense.
01:34:06.000 Because a third degree murder in Minneapolis is if you provide a substance to someone that kills them, that's your fault.
01:34:11.000 So that's this other guy's fault, which could present very serious reasonable doubt as to what happened with Floyd and who was responsible.
01:34:18.000 And so, you know, someone comes in and they say, oh, here comes Tim Poole's confirmation bias and all of his, you know, cult followers don't want to read the actual news.
01:34:27.000 And I had a conversation with this person.
01:34:29.000 I was like, you need to understand what happened here.
01:34:31.000 You don't watch my show.
01:34:33.000 You don't know the opinions expressed on this show.
01:34:36.000 You don't know the opinions of the people who comment on the show.
01:34:39.000 And you look at it and immediately assume, if we're saying the defense got a victory, you know, in today's hearing, you assume it's a bunch of Trump-supporting, red-hat-wearing, MAGA, flag-waving people, when in fact it's a variety of people who are just paying attention.
01:34:54.000 You come in, acting like you know everything, and everyone starts trying to explain to you calmly, and you get angry.
01:35:00.000 This is what happens for a lot of people.
01:35:01.000 They walk into a room where people are saying, wow, the defense in the Chauvin trial, this was big.
01:35:05.000 I mean, it's not perfect.
01:35:06.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, what is this, a bunch of MAGA conservatives?
01:35:09.000 You guys are all biased.
01:35:11.000 And then when people try saying, listen, listen.
01:35:13.000 Here's the guy who was the dealer.
01:35:15.000 Here's what the judge said about Floyd putting the tablet in his mouth.
01:35:18.000 And they're like, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:35:20.000 I watched Rachel Maddow, so I know everything.
01:35:23.000 Instead of having that rational conversation, they get mad and assert that they're right and you're wrong.
01:35:27.000 It's a really amazing thing, I think.
01:35:29.000 It's definitely a vice.
01:35:31.000 When people assume it's not me who's wrong, it's everyone else.
01:35:36.000 It's like, yo, if everywhere you go you smell crap, take a look at your boot.
01:35:41.000 Yeah, that's my advice.
01:35:42.000 How do you stay friends with people like that?
01:35:45.000 Is that more of a just like you're forcing yourself to stay social?
01:35:48.000 Do you feel like loyalty to them because you've known them for a long time?
01:35:53.000 I treat everybody with a certain level of respect.
01:35:56.000 If there's someone I've known for a long time, you know, I'm not going to treat a person
01:36:00.000 better just because I know them.
01:36:01.000 You know what I mean?
01:36:01.000 I try to be fair for someone I don't know.
01:36:05.000 I suppose if, like, there were two people hanging on the side of a cliff and I knew one of them, like, I'm gonna save that person over the person I don't know.
01:36:13.000 I guess it depends, though.
01:36:15.000 I mean, these are tough questions, right?
01:36:16.000 Like, let me ask you, Ian.
01:36:18.000 You're standing there, and there's a cliff, and you've got your mom hanging, but then you've got a seven-year-old girl hanging on the other side.
01:36:27.000 Who would you save?
01:36:28.000 My God.
01:36:30.000 Tough question, right?
01:36:31.000 The personal desire to save your mother or the potential of the child.
01:36:35.000 She would want me to save the kid.
01:36:37.000 Yeah, probably.
01:36:37.000 That's a good point.
01:36:39.000 So I would.
01:36:40.000 Well, there you go.
01:36:41.000 It's not an easy question for everybody.
01:36:42.000 These are tough questions.
01:36:44.000 It's like in Spider-Man, you know, in the movie when he had Mary Jane and the school bus full of kids.
01:36:49.000 He saved them both because he's Spider-Man.
01:36:51.000 That was my initial thought.
01:36:52.000 Cheating!
01:36:53.000 So, use your web shooters to save both of them at the same time and we're good.
01:36:58.000 Got it.
01:36:59.000 Yeah.
01:36:59.000 I don't know.
01:37:01.000 Not easy questions, man.
01:37:02.000 How about we go to Super Chats?
01:37:03.000 If you have not already, my friends, smash that like button.
01:37:07.000 And become a member over at TimCast.com because it looks like we're not going to have the website up, but this is okay.
01:37:14.000 There's actually a really obvious reason for it that I didn't consider.
01:37:17.000 And you know what that reason is?
01:37:18.000 What's that?
01:37:19.000 Why the website will not be launched as of today.
01:37:22.000 Beta testing.
01:37:23.000 What's today?
01:37:24.000 April 2nd.
01:37:25.000 No, no, no.
01:37:25.000 What's today?
01:37:26.000 Friday.
01:37:28.000 Friday?
01:37:29.000 Weekend?
01:37:29.000 It's Friday?
01:37:30.000 Yeah.
01:37:30.000 Which Friday?
01:37:31.000 Oh, it's Good Friday.
01:37:32.000 It's Good Friday.
01:37:33.000 It's a holiday.
01:37:34.000 A lot of people, they were like, you know, look, it's Good Friday, Easter Sunday, so it's a four-day weekend.
01:37:39.000 And I was like, oh, OK, OK, OK, OK.
01:37:41.000 I'm not going to tell anybody to work on Good Friday and through the weekend for Easter.
01:37:44.000 It's like, I get it, man.
01:37:46.000 But anyway, go to TimGuys.com because I think early next week, Hopefully!
01:37:51.000 But regardless of the format of the website, we are preparing shows and we want to get started on this stuff.
01:37:56.000 Ian was talking about some developers and doing this open source technology and just kind of going crazy and building out technology and tools that are gonna make the world a better place, but also making good Content.
01:38:06.000 We're gonna do a lot, man.
01:38:07.000 We're slowly seeding everything we need.
01:38:11.000 We've got some people joining really soon to start producing more content.
01:38:15.000 And it's a-coming, so make sure you sign up.
01:38:17.000 And don't forget to like the video if you haven't already, subscribe, hit the notification bell, and share this show if you really do like it.
01:38:24.000 All right, let's see.
01:38:24.000 We got a ton of Super Chats.
01:38:28.000 As always, it seems like YouTube has made it so I can't read the name of the first Super Chat, so... I can't see it.
01:38:34.000 Can't read it.
01:38:35.000 It says, Suggestion.
01:38:36.000 Imagine nerdy version of Jordan Peterson that analyzes cartoons, anime, games, and tries to teach important life lessons like that.
01:38:42.000 Incredible editing to make it as epic and entertaining as possible.
01:38:45.000 Tim, you have to check out the channel, The Meaning of Nerd.
01:38:48.000 Oh, interesting.
01:38:48.000 Oh, well, there you go.
01:38:51.000 Snowboard Dan.
01:38:52.000 Oh, this must be a mistake.
01:38:53.000 He says, happy birthday, Ian.
01:38:54.000 Oh, thank you, Dan.
01:38:55.000 It is Ian's birthday!
01:38:56.000 It is, ladies and gentlemen.
01:39:00.000 42 years old on 4-2, which I didn't see coming until yesterday.
01:39:04.000 Very cool.
01:39:04.000 And they said it's the meaning of life in that one book.
01:39:08.000 It'd be funny if after the show ends we go downstairs and all of a sudden Ian starts floating and a beam of light comes around him and his eyes are glowing.
01:39:16.000 And then he just starts firing gigantic lightning bolts and blowing everything up and people are running and screaming.
01:39:21.000 I feel like I'm wrapping the first trimester of my life.
01:39:28.000 Right now that I'll go to like 150 or 120 with all this life extension stuff.
01:39:32.000 And a lot of it's going to be like, it's going to be a different version of life, like an outer space, like a different, hopefully weird.
01:39:38.000 You are a trip, man.
01:39:43.000 You just found this out.
01:39:48.000 Someone just challenged me to a fight.
01:39:49.000 Oh, Javon Cronin says the only thing I have ever disagreed with Tim about is how you say McDonald's like WTF is McDonald's, Tim.
01:39:58.000 You don't know what McDonald's is?
01:40:00.000 I guess if you grow up in the city, we jokingly call it McDonald's.
01:40:05.000 It's, like, meant to be a silly way to say McDonald's.
01:40:07.000 Not Sheriff, really?
01:40:08.000 Sheriff.
01:40:09.000 It's McDonald's, huh?
01:40:10.000 Interesting.
01:40:10.000 Yeah.
01:40:11.000 Like, Tar-Jay.
01:40:11.000 Old McDonald.
01:40:12.000 Yeah, Tar-Jay.
01:40:13.000 Of course.
01:40:13.000 You know, it's a silly way to be like, McDonald's, instead of McDonald's.
01:40:18.000 Good old, what is it, Scottish food?
01:40:20.000 Yeah, sure.
01:40:24.000 Oh, let's see here.
01:40:26.000 And it's the day before Jesus rose from the dead?
01:40:27.000 Your Puritan capitalistic nature could not let you take today off and we're all thank thank thankful Tim and team.
01:40:33.000 Yes It's Good Friday, but I'm not
01:40:36.000 Good Friday specifically Catholic Christian Christian. Yeah, and it's the day before Jesus rose from the bed
01:40:42.000 And then Sunday is where Item on like Wednesday and they let him hang there for two
01:40:49.000 days and then he died Is that what it is?
01:40:51.000 Dude stabbed him.
01:40:52.000 Jeez, what a jerk.
01:40:53.000 He suffocated to death on the cross.
01:40:55.000 Is the Golgothan real?
01:40:56.000 The what?
01:40:57.000 The Golgothan.
01:40:58.000 Oh yeah, the hill?
01:40:59.000 Golgothan?
01:41:00.000 No, that's Golgotha.
01:41:01.000 The Golgothin.
01:41:02.000 What is it?
01:41:03.000 What's from Dogma?
01:41:04.000 Where, uh, what's it, Asriel summons the demon made of human feces?
01:41:09.000 No, that would be a no.
01:41:10.000 Not in the Bible, sorry.
01:41:12.000 I heard my last name Crossland is from Crossland Hills in England.
01:41:17.000 I haven't confirmed, but I think it's where they used to crucify people.
01:41:19.000 Interesting.
01:41:20.000 You should go there.
01:41:22.000 Find out the truth.
01:41:24.000 Alright, let's see.
01:41:26.000 Oblividan says, Iowa Governor Reynolds signed constitutional carry into law today.
01:41:31.000 Took too long, but it's nice to have a right restored for a change.
01:41:33.000 Repeal the NFA.
01:41:34.000 Wow!
01:41:35.000 Always amazing to hear about constitutional carry.
01:41:37.000 That is an amazing thing.
01:41:38.000 What state?
01:41:39.000 Iowa.
01:41:40.000 Cool.
01:41:40.000 That's great.
01:41:41.000 Remind me to visit Iowa.
01:41:43.000 Walk around with a Barrett M82, carrying it, getting really tired because it's a heavy thing to carry.
01:41:48.000 Yeah.
01:41:50.000 And people are gonna laugh and be like, I get you're trying to make a point, but come on.
01:41:53.000 Anyone can do that.
01:41:54.000 It's a grenade launcher, right?
01:41:55.000 No, no, it's an anti-material rifle.
01:41:56.000 50 BMG.
01:41:58.000 Yeah.
01:41:59.000 So, you know, taking out helicopters and tanks and buildings, you know what I mean?
01:42:02.000 When you need to.
01:42:04.000 Matt Burkhardt says, Hey, Tim, would you consider having Jonathan Wichman on your show?
01:42:09.000 He's from Wisconsin running for governor in 2022.
01:42:10.000 Great candidate.
01:42:11.000 Center right.
01:42:12.000 He doesn't really have the resources to become a mainstream candidate.
01:42:15.000 Perhaps.
01:42:15.000 We don't like to take suggestions because people then turn the Super Chat into a suggestion machine.
01:42:21.000 But, you know, we'll always look into people.
01:42:25.000 Taddy Mason.
01:42:27.000 Taddy Mason.
01:42:27.000 All right.
01:42:28.000 Taking time off from talking to Jerry says, happy birthday, Ian.
01:42:32.000 Tim, love what you do.
01:42:32.000 It's extremely important to promote people to think critically, but I'll catch the podcast in the morning.
01:42:37.000 Got to get back to the jam night on ACAS.
01:42:39.000 Hey, there you go.
01:42:39.000 All right.
01:42:40.000 Thank you.
01:42:42.000 Ransom Puppy says, Hey Tim, just wanted to ask you if you've heard about the band Anal Nathrak.
01:42:48.000 Their latest music video, Endarkment, seemed to be very anti-establishment.
01:42:53.000 I highly recommend checking it out if you're into death metal.
01:42:56.000 Not really.
01:42:58.000 Not a big death metal person.
01:42:59.000 I don't know what to say.
01:43:03.000 Sam Ray.
01:43:04.000 Uh-oh, this is racist.
01:43:06.000 He says, Asians make far better stuff.
01:43:08.000 Japan with Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Sony, Seiko, plus Tokyo is super clean and wish the general American public can learn more from their culture.
01:43:15.000 Tim, do you have a watch collection?
01:43:17.000 Seiko, I do not have a watch collection.
01:43:21.000 I will say, Tokyo is awesome!
01:43:24.000 Man, it's a really different culture, I'll tell you that.
01:43:27.000 You know, there's a, there's a, there's a bunch of, I'll try to be family friendly.
01:43:31.000 There are a bunch of businesses for men to relieve themselves in adult manners.
01:43:38.000 They're literal, like, I saw the sign everywhere when I was in Tokyo and I was like, what is this?
01:43:43.000 You know, I was like, I didn't know what it was.
01:43:45.000 And then the, my, my, my fixer, which is, you know, a local Japanese woman, she was like, oh, it's, you know, and then she explained to me that guys, you know, every so often they got, got urges and needs and they go in there and there's like used underwear in jars and like, you know, boxes you could buy.
01:43:58.000 It's a different place.
01:43:59.000 They're also, with advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics, they're aiding that industry.
01:44:04.000 Thanks for the recommendation.
01:44:05.000 Yeah, they are super smart, robotically.
01:44:09.000 It's very different.
01:44:10.000 They have their own set of problems.
01:44:12.000 All right, let's see.
01:44:13.000 We got too many super chats today.
01:44:14.000 Too many.
01:44:15.000 Conti says, Tim, US military just had extremist stand down training today.
01:44:20.000 Even though they talk about Antifa, BLM and supremacy are extremists, they only show videos from C-SPAN from January 6 and some shootings that was done by white people.
01:44:30.000 Weird.
01:44:33.000 Julian Powell says, Well, that's exactly my opinion.
01:44:35.000 That's why when we had a comment from a Nigerian immigrant, I said, I defer to you.
01:44:38.000 community, none of you are black and most of your comments just come from
01:44:40.000 stereotypes and inference.
01:44:42.000 None of you are black, so you couldn't comprehend black life."
01:44:45.000 Well, that's exactly my opinion.
01:44:47.000 That's why when we had a comment from a Nigerian immigrant, I said,
01:44:50.000 I defer to you, I wouldn't know.
01:44:51.000 I think there are a lot of people who do think they know on the right and the left
01:44:57.000 and try and tell other communities what it's like.
01:44:59.000 It's the weirdest thing.
01:45:01.000 And it's the perfect example of one of the reasons I don't like my serious problems with the critical race theorists is when I get some uppity white progressive being like, let me explain to you what it's like to be a marginalized person.
01:45:11.000 And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
01:45:13.000 We don't do that here.
01:45:14.000 Don't come to me and bring that to me.
01:45:16.000 Sorry.
01:45:17.000 But, uh, respect, Julian.
01:45:19.000 Absolutely.
01:45:20.000 Brother Francis says, Hi, guys.
01:45:21.000 Wanted to apply to work for you guys.
01:45:22.000 It would be my dream career.
01:45:23.000 I've sent some emails.
01:45:24.000 Hope you guys can see them.
01:45:25.000 Also wanted to contribute to BTC Monthly.
01:45:27.000 How can we set that up?
01:45:28.000 It's very difficult to do, and we haven't set it up.
01:45:30.000 But, uh, Brother Francis, we will search for that email.
01:45:35.000 Rosa Brand says, what used to be entertainment with books and movies, even video games, has turned into LARPing.
01:45:40.000 That's what I saw in last year's riots, kids running amok RPing.
01:45:44.000 That's right.
01:45:46.000 Doctor Doctor says, it's all play money.
01:45:49.000 Shots on me tonight, while it's worth anything.
01:45:52.000 I can make this back in experiences and hardships, all in the process of making friends and family.
01:45:56.000 As always, thank you guys for doing you, and Ian, thanks for being the voice of unreason when there's too much of making sense.
01:46:02.000 Gotta shake it.
01:46:05.000 Uh, P. Diesel has a comment for you, Ian.
01:46:07.000 He says, infantry comes from the French word, infanteria, meaning foot soldiers, too experienced, too inexperienced for cavalry.
01:46:14.000 Oh, so there is perhaps a relation between infant and inexperienced.
01:46:20.000 I should go into the Roman, the Latin of that as well.
01:46:22.000 Yeah, I'm curious.
01:46:24.000 Arsion says, here to promote my channel, Arsion, I talk Catholicism, politics, and more.
01:46:28.000 Hey, there you go.
01:46:28.000 Very cool.
01:46:30.000 Trent Lamalino says, Hey gang, love what is on the horizon, but make it a mandatory daily obligation to get Adam Curry and no agenda is vital.
01:46:37.000 Stay safe, John.
01:46:39.000 Uh, am I familiar?
01:46:40.000 I don't know.
01:46:41.000 Adam Curry was like the founder of podcasts, I think.
01:46:43.000 Oh, interesting.
01:46:44.000 Trying to find a way to get a hold of him.
01:46:45.000 That's fun.
01:46:47.000 John R says, Eating locally sourced honey will help with pollen allergies.
01:46:51.000 I've heard that.
01:46:51.000 Interesting.
01:46:52.000 We went, we were surrounded by farms and we went to a farm and got a bunch of farm fresh meat.
01:46:57.000 It is amazing.
01:47:00.000 I gotta tell you, man, if you've had that store-bought bacon, you ain't had bacon until you have real bacon from a farm, fresh.
01:47:07.000 It's legit.
01:47:08.000 Put it on the grill and it's just like, wow.
01:47:10.000 Real food is always so much better.
01:47:13.000 Character Holding says, think it was hookworms.
01:47:15.000 They secrete an enzyme that pacifies the immune system.
01:47:18.000 They live in your intestines, clears up allergies.
01:47:20.000 Oh, maybe that's what it was.
01:47:22.000 This is amazing!
01:47:23.000 Ian, you were right!
01:47:24.000 Neyrad Agave says Ian is right. Infantry comes from the Latin root word infans meaning infancy
01:47:30.000 It shows up later in the 1500s as infante meaning foot soldiers too low in rank too young or too poor to be
01:47:36.000 cavalry Mhm. Very cool.
01:47:38.000 Well, how about that?
01:47:39.000 And we still use it.
01:47:40.000 It's a different system now, because those people could be cavalry, but they're put into the infantry.
01:47:44.000 So maybe it's not about wiping their brain, but that's the... And AOC wasn't wrong about the relation between surge and insurgent.
01:47:50.000 Oh, tell me more.
01:47:51.000 Surge, meaning, the root word is to, like a sudden flow, and then insurgent was to sudden flow.
01:48:01.000 From the inside.
01:48:02.000 Yes, so it was just like, Flow from within.
01:48:04.000 The original word, surge, was just like the way we describe surge.
01:48:07.000 It's the same meaning.
01:48:08.000 And then insurgent was a reference to, like, the action of surging through.
01:48:12.000 Yeah, so it became a reference to the people, the insurgents.
01:48:16.000 So there's a similar root there.
01:48:17.000 Baxter says, Tim, Strauss Howe is for people not well read in history.
01:48:21.000 He references World War II, Civil War, and Revolutionary War, but conveniently skips over World War I, Napoleonic Wars, etc.
01:48:27.000 It's always the case with these books.
01:48:29.000 Strauss Howe is just the latest meme people in DC are gushing over.
01:48:32.000 Because it's fun to think the world isn't so boring and we can predict the future!
01:48:37.000 But you're right.
01:48:37.000 It's probably true.
01:48:41.000 LowAndLight says, Tim, please have someone on that was there at the Capitol on January 6th.
01:48:48.000 Uh, let's see.
01:48:48.000 Uh, you would then stop flipping calling DC a riot or a siege.
01:48:53.000 That is offensive and BS.
01:48:55.000 Well, I've seen videos of people at the front gate bashing the windows and then people fighting them.
01:49:00.000 I've seen the videos of the people running in and clashing with the police, and I've seen the video of having the door opened.
01:49:05.000 I think there are people who are there who, uh, Only like walked around and didn't realize what was going on at the Capitol and think it was only the peaceful side.
01:49:15.000 But we quite literally had, uh, I believe we had more than one of the journalists.
01:49:19.000 We did.
01:49:19.000 We had two.
01:49:19.000 Yeah.
01:49:20.000 Yeah.
01:49:20.000 Who were down there telling us everything that was happening.
01:49:22.000 Yeah.
01:49:22.000 Like, yeah.
01:49:23.000 Richie was on like right after.
01:49:24.000 Yeah.
01:49:25.000 The next day.
01:49:25.000 Richie and Jorge, I think.
01:49:28.000 Sideways says, I'm 26 and single, so instead of kids, I get stressed out by building up and restoring, modeling, resto-modeling old cars.
01:49:37.000 The issue may be lack of hobbies.
01:49:38.000 Cars are my kids.
01:49:40.000 Or cats.
01:49:41.000 Cats.
01:49:42.000 Don't recommend cats.
01:49:43.000 Everyone get cats!
01:49:44.000 You can be a cat person.
01:49:45.000 Mastermind says, Ian's words about Crimea inspired me to do my first super chat.
01:49:49.000 Oh!
01:49:49.000 That's epic, too.
01:49:50.000 Very cool.
01:49:51.000 Crimea stuff's crazy, man.
01:49:52.000 I've been thinking about it the whole night.
01:49:53.000 Russia is amassing troops.
01:49:54.000 You were talking about this earlier.
01:49:56.000 The Ukrainians just issued a draft on the April 1st, 16,000 or so Ukrainians are now drafted.
01:50:03.000 They want to liberate, from what I've heard, they want to liberate Crimea.
01:50:06.000 Russia's like, nope, we're gonna send tanks if you invade us, because Russia thinks Crimea's Russian.
01:50:12.000 Ukraine thinks Crimea is Ukrainian.
01:50:14.000 Wow.
01:50:14.000 It's a messy situation, man.
01:50:16.000 Yep.
01:50:18.000 Cory Hill says, love the show, Tim.
01:50:19.000 Please consider the legendary Mark Kern, a.k.a.
01:50:21.000 Grums, as a guest for your show.
01:50:23.000 He is a leader in pushing back against the insanity in the culture war and is a brilliant game developer.
01:50:27.000 And for those that don't know, if you've played World of Warcraft, I believe there's a ring called the Mark of Kern, or it may not be a ring, it may be just an item.
01:50:35.000 It was named after Mark Kern, one of the OG developers of World of Warcraft, and Mark is rad, and I would love to have him on the show.
01:50:41.000 I think I've dealt with him in the past periodically.
01:50:44.000 We should definitely reach out to him and have him on the show because he's a cool dude.
01:50:48.000 He's working on a new video, a new video game, too, and we can talk about that.
01:50:52.000 Oh, very cool.
01:50:53.000 Yeah, look him up.
01:50:57.000 Razortoon says, five months ago I released my first game.
01:50:59.000 I was hoping to bring some humor during the lockdown.
01:51:02.000 It never took off now and it may be too late.
01:51:04.000 Maybe you could give it a shout out.
01:51:05.000 Check out, what is it?
01:51:07.000 Corona Run on Steam 2D platformer.
01:51:10.000 Interesting.
01:51:11.000 It is never too late.
01:51:12.000 Yeah, it's never too late.
01:51:13.000 Maybe, you know, people will find a fun game.
01:51:15.000 Marcus Carter says, I'm a 37-year-old disabled combat veteran with a three-year-old child on life support since birth.
01:51:20.000 I just started a PAC, Shorting DC, because despite my problems, they are nothing to the problems we all face together if we don't recapture our government.
01:51:28.000 Visit shortingdc.org for more.
01:51:31.000 Hey, good luck, Marcus, and thank you for your super chat.
01:51:35.000 Michael Schwobel says, old quote, you don't become an adult until you have people that you are responsible for.
01:51:41.000 Definitely.
01:51:43.000 Golan's Thop says, I will send my kid to school.
01:51:46.000 I can teach my kid many things, but I cannot teach them social interaction.
01:51:49.000 They need to learn to deal with all kinds of people, especially how to deal with jerks and difficult people.
01:51:54.000 Yes.
01:51:56.000 Okay, Rob Brown says, I love this chick.
01:51:58.000 There you go.
01:52:01.000 That chick?
01:52:01.000 Awesome.
01:52:03.000 Bonnie Bailey says, hugs Ian.
01:52:04.000 Try to keep it together.
01:52:05.000 You look so sad.
01:52:06.000 I feel you guy.
01:52:06.000 Try to stay strong.
01:52:07.000 Hugs.
01:52:08.000 Thanks.
01:52:09.000 I think the war stuff got you down.
01:52:10.000 You were like really serious, or you were like, the war's starting.
01:52:13.000 China's going to take Taiwan.
01:52:15.000 You got me scared over here.
01:52:17.000 It's so representative of World War II.
01:52:20.000 It's crazy man.
01:52:21.000 Yeah you before the show you were talking about this and it's like a really scary thought if Russia makes a move on Ukraine because it sees fires over and other amassing troops the u.s.
01:52:31.000 Will absolutely prioritize Ukraine and then China will immediately seize Taiwan and they'll point at Russia say they're doing it and Then all the countries around the world that have a place they want to invade will start it will invade it They'll be like America can't stop us all And then the Russians and the Chinese won't fight each other at first, just like the Nazis and the Russians didn't fight each other at first until Germany invaded Russia.
01:52:53.000 China is this imperialist monster, has been messing with Russia, may eventually invade Russia, and then the Russians will flip.
01:53:00.000 Hopefully it doesn't happen.
01:53:01.000 Hopefully it doesn't.
01:53:02.000 Yeah.
01:53:03.000 All right, let's see.
01:53:06.000 Zueva bro.
01:53:07.000 Julie, it's Chris.
01:53:08.000 Tell Alex I said hi.
01:53:09.000 Otherwise, I love the show, Tim.
01:53:12.000 Who's Chris?
01:53:13.000 You don't know anybody named Chris?
01:53:15.000 I do, but I know a lot of them.
01:53:16.000 Juliette's Chris.
01:53:17.000 Alex has said hi.
01:53:18.000 Oh, hi Chris.
01:53:20.000 You're gonna get a text later and you're gonna go, oh!
01:53:22.000 Yeah, there's like a million of you.
01:53:28.000 I would like to know more.
01:53:35.000 I'm not convinced it would, though.
01:53:36.000 I think it would make a bunch of rebels.
01:53:38.000 If the government instated the draft as a mandatory requirement, you would end up with a wave of insurgents.
01:53:45.000 Like, this is America, man.
01:53:46.000 You gotta realize.
01:53:48.000 Doesn't matter if you're left or right.
01:53:49.000 There are people going to be like, government can't tell me what to do.
01:53:52.000 People got guns too.
01:53:53.000 The draft, I think that the Vietnam draft, like for the most part worked.
01:53:57.000 Like most people were like, okay, I guess.
01:53:58.000 But a lot of people were like, no.
01:53:59.000 A lot of people died, dude.
01:54:02.000 Like in Vietnam.
01:54:03.000 Yeah.
01:54:03.000 They were drafted.
01:54:04.000 Yeah.
01:54:04.000 Right.
01:54:05.000 A lot of people just said, okay.
01:54:06.000 And went along with it.
01:54:07.000 But they didn't want to go.
01:54:08.000 They didn't want to go to jail either.
01:54:10.000 Exactly.
01:54:11.000 The draft is pretty much slavery.
01:54:13.000 They didn't resist.
01:54:13.000 Yeah, definitely.
01:54:14.000 Well, some people did, but still.
01:54:16.000 What I mean is most people didn't resist.
01:54:19.000 If the government came out and was like, everybody drop to your knees, people would be like, okay.
01:54:24.000 Because they don't want to go to jail.
01:54:26.000 Right.
01:54:26.000 In the beginning of Vietnam, they were, it was very pro-war.
01:54:29.000 People were into it.
01:54:30.000 I guess.
01:54:31.000 I've heard, especially like in World War I, World War II, like there was a lot of, you know, you're not a man if you don't go to war and that kind of thing.
01:54:39.000 Yeah.
01:54:40.000 A lot of pressure.
01:54:40.000 Yeah.
01:54:41.000 Joel Hart says, to quote Tom MacDonald, you worry about leaving a better planet for our kids.
01:54:46.000 How about leaving better kids for our planet?
01:54:48.000 Ooh!
01:54:49.000 Mic drop!
01:54:51.000 Mic drop, Tom MacDonald.
01:54:54.000 Kuya Chris says, Hey guys, some people are blaming Trump for all the Asian hate because of the anti-China stuff.
01:54:59.000 What do you guys think?
01:55:00.000 I think it's an excuse from people who haven't been dealing with the actual racial problems in this country.
01:55:07.000 In fact, I've been making it worse when they demonize Asians as white adjacent or actually more privileged than white people, or even coming to the point where just in the past few months, they were like, Asians are white.
01:55:19.000 Alex B says skateboarding is such an amazing and skill-teaching experience.
01:55:21.000 Dude, these people went on racist tirades for years about Asian people, so I don't blame Trump for that.
01:55:27.000 Alex B says skateboarding is such an amazing and skill-teaching experience.
01:55:34.000 The camaraderie, relationships, and experiences are character-building.
01:55:37.000 I think so.
01:55:40.000 But I think skateboarding has become too mainstream.
01:55:42.000 It is?
01:55:43.000 Too mainstream.
01:55:45.000 Yeah, it's in the Olympics.
01:55:47.000 It's an Olympic sport.
01:55:48.000 So now, you've been seeing this over the past decade, where it's like kids who have coaches and trainers, and it's like, we want to see 50 kickflips today, and it's just so different from what skateboarding is.
01:55:59.000 No establishment.
01:56:00.000 Yeah, so it's getting to a point where there's still that aspect of skateboarder culture, but I'd be willing to bet with the emergence of park skating is when we really started to see skateboard culture kind of go bad, in a sense, or lose its soul.
01:56:15.000 There are a lot of people who are like, hey man, times change.
01:56:18.000 And I'm like, oh, I totally get it.
01:56:19.000 Like, I have this anecdote about watching the older generation wear baggy pants, then my generation wore the skin-tight pants, and then the younger generation wore the flooded dickies where they're like, they didn't go down to their ankles, and I'm like, and I was like, word man, do your thing, feel good about yourself.
01:56:34.000 But that was still part, there was still soul in that.
01:56:36.000 Now it's like cookie-cutter corporate.
01:56:38.000 Now it's like you watch some of these people and it's like, oh man, this is gonna be boring.
01:56:42.000 It's gonna be like, you know.
01:56:44.000 Burning man.
01:56:45.000 Yeah, where's the edge?
01:56:47.000 It's just, it's fine if skateboarding becomes a traditional American pastime, corporate endeavor.
01:56:53.000 It used to be, if you wanted to skate a certain way, you had to go out in the streets because we didn't have parks.
01:56:57.000 Then parks exploded, and then there's a lot of people now who are like, why skate street?
01:57:01.000 They only skated a park.
01:57:03.000 It's considered not as, like, legit to do a trick at a skate park than if you did it in the actual streets, because you're, like, conquering real terrain.
01:57:09.000 But I think we're getting danger- like, it's coming to the point now where it's just gonna be park skating.
01:57:14.000 You know, so like, the soul, the original.
01:57:16.000 Which maybe is a good thing, because there's a lot of kids who act a fool, and they'll like, fight with cops, or fight with security guards, and one security guard got like, killed, because some guy shoved him, and like, you know, it's a whole lot of bad stuff.
01:57:26.000 But, you know, it is what it is, man.
01:57:28.000 You know, we don't own everything forever, and sometimes things change.
01:57:31.000 Gotta accept that, I suppose.
01:57:32.000 So I'll just keep doing my thing, and stay real to myself.
01:57:36.000 Downey Jr.
01:57:37.000 says sex wasn't specifically banned in the UK.
01:57:39.000 We were banned from visiting other houses outside of Bubbles.
01:57:41.000 Outdoor meetups are allowed now, and all retail opens on the 12th of April.
01:57:46.000 Zero restrictions from June 21st.
01:57:48.000 Lot of people.
01:57:49.000 No babies.
01:57:52.000 Carl Schneider says, working hard and appreciating what you have worked for is the cure for the disease of communism.
01:57:57.000 People who don't actually earn what they have are riddled with guilt.
01:58:01.000 Vote for government to take care of the poor to ease their own conscience.
01:58:04.000 Hmm.
01:58:05.000 Golan Stopp says, what do you guys think of adoption? I think it's fantastic.
01:58:09.000 I like it.
01:58:10.000 Yeah.
01:58:11.000 That's a good idea.
01:58:12.000 I saw a video Lydia sent me where a chicken adopted kittens.
01:58:14.000 Yes!
01:58:15.000 I think that your family is not your blood relatives necessarily, but what you're familiar with and you choose your family.
01:58:22.000 Even if you feel like you're thrust into what you're born with, you can always find another place to be familiar.
01:58:28.000 Baby kittens, you know, cats like to be really warm, so they lay on computers.
01:58:31.000 And so, the lady sent me this video where there's baby kittens, and there's a chicken, and the guy walks over to the chicken, and the chicken stands up, and the kittens are underneath it, because the chicken's all like, I gotta keep these babies warm, and the cats are like, the kittens want to be warm, you know?
01:58:44.000 Those kittens are gonna grow up, they're gonna be like, chicken is my friend, I love chicken, you know?
01:58:48.000 That's right.
01:58:50.000 I love those videos when animals get along and don't kill each other.
01:58:53.000 Alright, let's see what we got.
01:58:55.000 Prometheus Prime says, The problem with pro-fam, anti-fam is simply complex.
01:59:01.000 Neo-feminism has swapped the roles of men and women.
01:59:03.000 I disagree with that, but he says, Our country and people are under concentrated attack and their target is the family unit.
01:59:09.000 China is hyper-masculinizing and we are regressive.
01:59:13.000 They didn't swap the roles of men and women.
01:59:16.000 Neofeminism, for the most part, is erasing femininity.
01:59:22.000 You know what I mean?
01:59:23.000 Telling women to work jobs, freeze their eggs, and just have kids later.
01:59:27.000 They're not going to men and being like, men must be in the home.
01:59:30.000 They're going, women must be in the workplace.
01:59:32.000 Women must be CEOs.
01:59:34.000 There is an advocacy for, well, men can be stay-at-home dads if they want, but whereas the men must be also running the home.
01:59:43.000 The sentiment is not there.
01:59:45.000 Not at all.
01:59:46.000 So it's all pushing heavily into the masculine.
01:59:48.000 You know what?
01:59:49.000 This is making me think that maybe we actually do live in a patriarchy.
01:59:52.000 They just want us to be like men.
01:59:53.000 They don't want men to be like women.
01:59:55.000 I mean, a little bit maybe, but that makes me mad.
02:00:00.000 Ryan McDougall says, I'm a 36-year-old single dad of an 11-year-old girl.
02:00:04.000 Having a kid is something you don't know how great it is until you raise your own.
02:00:08.000 Jack the Tech says, It's not about the energy you have now, Tim.
02:00:11.000 It's about having energy 10 to 15 years from now when you're pushing 50-ish and your kid wants and needs you there.
02:00:17.000 Dude.
02:00:20.000 I got energy for days.
02:00:21.000 He's the Energizer Bunny.
02:00:23.000 Either I'm a candle burning twice as bright by the time I'm 50, I'll be like... Or I'm gonna be like... There's something to... This is really out there, but like internet video and people thinking about you when they're watching... Because right now, people are watching Tim's videos.
02:00:39.000 Thousands and thousands of people are perceiving Tim and thinking about Tim and listening and hearing his... So that energy is bouncing off our stratosphere into his body.
02:00:48.000 You think so?
02:00:49.000 Yeah.
02:00:50.000 Huh.
02:00:50.000 Interesting.
02:00:51.000 Possibly so.
02:00:52.000 All right, Troy Bruce.
02:00:54.000 I was going to add something.
02:00:55.000 I don't know about you guys' family situations, but another benefit to having kids young that I didn't really think about is having your parents there to help you.
02:01:04.000 Yes, good point.
02:01:06.000 That his grandparents, my son's grandparents, have been there to babysit and stuff like that.
02:01:11.000 And because I wouldn't trust a stranger with my child, it was really helpful for them to be around.
02:01:16.000 So just something to think about.
02:01:18.000 That's a great point.
02:01:19.000 Yeah.
02:01:20.000 Troy Bruce says 9th U.S.
02:01:21.000 Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a Hawaii law that bans residents from openly carrying firearms without a license that is issued only to those who can show they need the weapon to protect life or property.
02:01:32.000 The line in the sand has been crossed.
02:01:34.000 It may go to the Supreme Court.
02:01:36.000 I believe it will, but whether or not the Supreme Court takes it is another issue.
02:01:39.000 And if they do, the floodgates may be opened and constitutional carry may go nationwide.
02:01:46.000 That would be amazing.
02:01:47.000 Could you imagine if overnight it was just like...
02:01:50.000 No state can ban someone from walking around with a gun.
02:01:53.000 Keeping bare arms shall not be infringed.
02:01:55.000 That'd be incredible.
02:01:56.000 Beautiful.
02:01:57.000 In many places, particularly like Maryland, you have to prove you need the gun.
02:02:01.000 I actually do not have to do that.
02:02:03.000 And you can't.
02:02:04.000 It's very, very hard.
02:02:06.000 Yeah, you have- so, typically they say if you transport large sums of money, or if you have like an active threat against you they know about, but for the most part they'll just deny you.
02:02:15.000 And it takes like, what, six months or some ridiculous amount of time?
02:02:18.000 Yeah, you have to have receipts that someone's trying to attack you.
02:02:20.000 Well, to be fair, the Constitution does say the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
02:02:25.000 Only in the instance where the individual has a good reason for having the gun and can prove it to the government.
02:02:29.000 Otherwise, no guns.
02:02:31.000 It's actually really small, you know, and people just overlook the text, but it's there.
02:02:38.000 I love the people who are like, but the well-regulated militia part.
02:02:41.000 I don't care.
02:02:41.000 Shut up.
02:02:42.000 You're wrong.
02:02:44.000 Uh, Gray Giannico says, just a daily reminder that Trevor still sucks.
02:02:49.000 Yeah.
02:02:49.000 Does he?
02:02:49.000 Whoa.
02:02:50.000 Yeah, it's true.
02:02:50.000 I forgot.
02:02:51.000 Definitely.
02:02:51.000 Yeah.
02:02:52.000 Yeah, you were telling me earlier that Trevor sucks.
02:02:54.000 Yeah, I hate that guy.
02:02:57.000 I don't know who Trevor is.
02:02:58.000 I gotta feel bad for him.
02:02:58.000 I don't know who Trevor is.
02:02:59.000 I don't know who Chris is.
02:03:00.000 You're awesome, Trevor.
02:03:02.000 Okay, Trevor, if you're out there, you gotta super chat now so that we, you know.
02:03:05.000 Yeah, we gotta set the record straight.
02:03:06.000 Let's go.
02:03:09.000 Alright, let's see.
02:03:10.000 Chad Eldredge says, I know you've talked about it being too hard to book some people.
02:03:14.000 Some more bookable names you might consider.
02:03:16.000 Ian Hutchison, nuclear engineer, fusion discussion.
02:03:19.000 Bob Murphy, anarchist economist.
02:03:20.000 Yes, he's cool.
02:03:22.000 Bob Murphy?
02:03:22.000 Yeah.
02:03:23.000 Cool.
02:03:24.000 Write this down.
02:03:25.000 Becomes highly recommended by Julie Borowski.
02:03:28.000 Very cool.
02:03:28.000 Oh, yeah.
02:03:31.000 Dan9S says, maybe I missed something, but when talking about depression, people need to distinguish between situational depression and clinical depression.
02:03:38.000 Clinical depression doesn't just look like crying and hopelessness, it can be anxiety attacks or numbness.
02:03:44.000 It can also be someone saying they don't feel like going out, and they're bored and tired, and their legs are sore.
02:03:53.000 Yeah, and a lot of people don't realize that.
02:03:56.000 Sam Good says, hey bro, I'm a veteran who has deployed.
02:03:59.000 I'm also pseudo-liberal slash conservative.
02:04:01.000 I see amazing from both sides of the voters on the spectrum, right or left.
02:04:05.000 It'll flake both to turn around the world.
02:04:07.000 It'll take both.
02:04:09.000 Heck yeah, it will.
02:04:10.000 Yep.
02:04:12.000 Steph MLB says, culture's big if one wants kids.
02:04:16.000 Easy to date, but men of value are hard to find with today's politics and weak men.
02:04:22.000 She says, I'm Latina in med school, but also 27.
02:04:25.000 Given the choice, I give up med for kids.
02:04:28.000 Here is taboo.
02:04:29.000 Why?
02:04:29.000 Many can be doctors, but only I am able to carry on my lineage.
02:04:34.000 Man.
02:04:35.000 That's a good point.
02:04:37.000 Jeffrey N. Frazier says, Great show, Tim.
02:04:38.000 I would like to see you do a segment on TimCast.com with Pierogi from Scammer Payback about the scams that are happening and what can be done to stop them.
02:04:46.000 Oh yeah, for sure.
02:04:46.000 That'd be cool.
02:04:47.000 Alright, let's see.
02:04:49.000 We'll do a couple more Super Chats here.
02:04:50.000 Just a couple more.
02:04:50.000 Two more.
02:04:51.000 Sonny James says, Just goes to show you anyone who might protest the state gets shot.
02:04:55.000 Our government is equal opportunity shooters.
02:04:58.000 I'm already seeing the woke crowd run defense for this killing.
02:05:00.000 Well, sometimes... I can't read that part, but I get your point.
02:05:03.000 Oh, spicy.
02:05:05.000 Yep, sometimes a little too spicy for YouTube, huh?
02:05:08.000 I just want to say to everybody who gave a shout-out to Ian for his birthday, thank you for your super chat, and happy birthday, Ian.
02:05:12.000 Thank you, guys.
02:05:13.000 Thank you.
02:05:14.000 And to the people saying Tom McDonald is a guest, we absolutely would love to, but Tom's a very busy guy, so... Let's see, 2NoSpam says, Julie, I have a cool story, WRT, Julie.
02:05:26.000 With respect to Julie?
02:05:27.000 Is that what that means?
02:05:28.000 With regard to, yeah.
02:05:29.000 Oh, with regard to.
02:05:29.000 About two years ago, I bought a signed copy of her book, Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza, was quite amazed that she took time to write a note.
02:05:36.000 Go girl.
02:05:37.000 Oh, how very nice of you.
02:05:38.000 Yeah, I could do autographed copies too.
02:05:40.000 Oh, I love it.
02:05:41.000 Yes.
02:05:41.000 Alright, we'll do one more.
02:05:43.000 Bitcoin Hunter says, just had my first son.
02:05:45.000 Congratulations.
02:05:46.000 He is two months old and I can't believe how much my life has changed in just two months.
02:05:52.000 Very amazing.
02:05:52.000 Congratulations, man.
02:05:53.000 We're gonna do one more.
02:05:55.000 Aura Carina says, as a single father of a little girl in elementary school, I find it weird that I'm the youngest father around and I'm in my 30s.
02:06:03.000 Crazy times, my friends.
02:06:05.000 Well, hey, to everybody who hung out this Friday night, thank you so much.

02:06:53.000 Recently I did a segment with Jack Murphy where, like, I went off.
02:06:56.000 We were talking about whether or not you should, like, what you should do in the event of a mugging, and I was very much like, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
02:07:04.000 And if people were armed and could defend themselves, we wouldn't have these criminals in the first place, so it gets a little spicy.

02:07:18.000 You can follow me on Twitter, Julie Borowski.
02:07:20.000 YouTube, Julie Borowski.
02:07:21.000 I don't know.
02:07:22.000 Just Google my name.
02:07:23.000 You'll find something.
02:07:24.000 You have some books?
02:07:24.000 I do.
02:07:25.000 I have Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza, and I also have a new book, Peaceful Porcupine.
02:07:30.000 And these are libertarian-ish?
02:07:33.000 Or how would you describe it?
02:07:34.000 I don't like to say they're libertarianish because it sounds kind of cringe, like I'm trying to force political ideology on kids.
02:07:41.000 I say they're educational and they teach kids about morality, especially peaceful porcupine.
02:07:45.000 It talks about, you know, don't hurt other people, which is important, whether you're libertarian or not.
02:07:50.000 Because it'll jam quills into you and you'll deserve it.
02:07:55.000 The armed porcupine.
02:07:57.000 Peaceful, but will defend himself.
02:07:59.000 Yes, that's exactly the point.
02:08:01.000 I think Jordan Peterson talked a lot about the meek from the Bible.
02:08:04.000 The meek shall inherit the earth.
02:08:06.000 And meek wasn't like weak.
02:08:07.000 It was the person with the big sword that chose not to use it.
02:08:10.000 Ooh.
02:08:11.000 Indeed.
02:08:11.000 I love it.
02:08:12.000 Similar to the porcupine.
02:08:13.000 Porcupines, yeah.
02:08:14.000 Or, you know, the good, the millions of American gun owners who don't commit crimes with their weapons and the government comes and says, yeah, we want to take your gun away from you because some crazy guy did something.
02:08:24.000 Nah, man.
02:08:25.000 Well, hello, everyone.
02:08:26.000 Thank you.
02:08:26.000 Hey, thanks again for the birthday wishes.
02:08:27.000 You guys, this is really, really fun.

02:08:35.000 Very cool.
02:08:35.000 And again, Ian, happy birthday.
02:08:37.000 I know this birthday was a little bit of a downer for you.
02:08:39.000 I apologize that Russia decided to do this with Crimea today.
02:08:42.000 I don't blame you, Lydia.
02:08:43.000 What a cop out.
02:08:45.000 What a jerk.
02:08:45.000 Anyway, I'm Sour Patch Lids on Twitter and Mines and Real Sour Patch Lids on Gabin Instagram.
02:08:50.000 You guys can follow me there.
02:08:51.000 And before we go, I will read the last Super Chat from the Philosopher.
02:08:56.000 Taxation is theft.
02:08:57.000 Julie is awesome.
02:08:58.000 Thanks for having her on.
02:09:00.000 Thank you all so much to everybody for hanging out.
02:09:02.000 We will be back Monday, and we'll see you all then.
