Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Chappelle Gives AMAZING Reason To Vote Trump 2024 On SNL w-Dave Rubin

00:00:00.000 So Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live and it was one heck of a monologue.

00:00:28.000 Aside from the Kanye West commentary about Jewish people in Hollywood, which is being slammed, I guess, as anti-Semitic, whatever, Dave Chappelle, I couldn't believe it.

00:00:39.000 He explained why people like Donald Trump and why they still do.

00:00:43.000 And it was such a good point that I think he may have just helped Donald Trump right before we hear he may be announcing his presidential run.

00:00:53.000 It was incredible.

00:00:54.000 Chappelle was like, here's a guy who comes out and says all those things you think they're doing, we are doing it and they won't change it.

00:01:00.000 There's more than that.

00:01:01.000 We'll pull this up.

00:01:02.000 But I just I heard what Dave Chappelle said and I was like, I kind of want to vote for Trump now.

00:01:06.000 Wow.

00:01:06.000 I can't believe he said something like that.

00:01:08.000 But of course, the media is pushing DeSantis versus Trump, which is probably way overblown.

00:01:11.000 And then you've got the mail-in voting problem.

00:01:13.000 So we'll take a look at what's going on.

00:01:15.000 Maybe you noticed there's a story from Newsweek where they said they're going to, quote unquote, fix ballots in Colorado and then Lauren Boebert will likely lose. 1.00

00:01:23.000 Because many ballots were rejected, so once they cure those ballots, well, then the Democrat will take over.

00:01:29.000 So we'll talk about that, plus a bunch of other stuff.

00:01:31.000 Carrie Lake is being advised, so we here—I don't trust the media—that she's not going to win this, because the vote's closing and her lead is still fairly decent.

00:01:40.000 But we will see.

00:01:41.000 The battle is not over until everyone gives up, and I doubt Carrie Lake will give up.

00:01:45.000 But we'll get into all that stuff.

00:01:45.000 Before we do, my friends, head over to surfinginternetsafe.com to get VirtualShield, a virtual private network service.

00:03:33.000 Tim, I gotta tell you, man, you've become a broadcasting professional.

00:03:37.000 How about that?

00:03:37.000 You know, when I met you the first time, you were a little journalist, you were a guy with a camera, and you had a little attachment on your phone to make it prop up and I had never

00:03:46.000 seen that before and you had a beanie I was like, what's this guy doing? Still do what's this guy

00:03:50.000 doing? And now you're running like the biggest media empire this side of West Virginia, a

00:03:57.000 fraction of the size of the daily wire, but you know, this side of West Virginia, you're

00:04:00.000 doing.

00:04:00.000 You're doing all right, man.

00:04:01.000 By the way, thank you.

00:04:02.000 I didn't know what we were doing today, but thank you for leaving this genderqueer book in front of my microphone.

00:04:08.000 This is extremely disturbing stuff.

00:04:10.000 Had to make sure you had to see it before we got started.

00:04:11.000 You will be deleted from YouTube if I read any of that.

00:04:14.000 Yeah, man.

00:04:15.000 I think we talked about this the last time I saw you was at your comedy show in LA, I think it was.

00:04:20.000 Yeah.

00:04:21.000 Three years ago, we think that was?

00:04:22.000 That's crazy.

00:04:23.000 Three.

00:04:23.000 So we haven't seen each other for three freaking years.

00:04:25.000 That's how bizarre the world has been.

00:04:28.000 Before that, I went on your show.

00:04:29.000 And then afterwards, pulled out a GoPro and filmed you and did a little interview with you.

00:04:35.000 And that was back when I was traveling around and doing more field work.

00:04:39.000 And now we're totally off that, basically.

00:04:41.000 And it's just commentary and this sit-down topical news show.

00:04:45.000 As it goes. 1.00

00:04:46.000 Just talking shit about people. 1.00

00:04:49.000 Yeah, that's right. 1.00

00:04:49.000 And seeing what happens. 1.00

00:04:50.000 Yep, yep.

00:04:51.000 So I think most people know who you are.

00:04:52.000 You host the Urban Report.

00:04:54.000 I guess I was early in on all this internet craziness, talking about stuff.

00:04:58.000 Normally I tell people to explain who they are, but... I think most of the people watching this probably know me.

00:05:04.000 I would assume they all like me.

00:05:05.000 I've been told there's a few people online that don't like me, but... You know, everybody has their audience, everyone's got haters.

00:05:12.000 Yeah.

00:05:12.000 Yeah, but you know, I think the side that we occupy is very broad, and even your haters watch.

00:05:19.000 Whereas with the left, you know, they won't even bother to listen to the context or try and get the information.

00:05:24.000 I've come to love my haters actually because they drive a lot of clicks at the end of the day, you know what I mean?

00:05:28.000 And I always think it's funny that there's a certain set of people that are so obsessed with everything that I say or any pause that I make or if I slightly stammer over a word or a thought or they'll edit things to say, you know, to take the word not out or something like that.

00:05:43.000 And I'm like, this is what you guys are doing all day for me?

00:05:47.000 Like, for me, like, you know, it's hilarious in a way.

00:05:51.000 I don't do any of that stuff.

00:05:53.000 I don't think you really do any of that too, right?

00:05:54.000 Like, there's a devoted group of people that hate me and you because we're thought of as sort of, like, ex-lefties that are red-pilled, something like that.

00:06:02.000 But do you do videos like that?

00:06:03.000 Like, about whatever the version of us on the other side is?

00:06:07.000 Like, I don't even really know who they are exactly, but like, what a waste of time!

00:06:11.000 There are prominent speakers who make videos about both of us non-stop all day.

00:06:15.000 There's like 50 of them, and I never talk about them.

00:06:17.000 Yeah, never.

00:06:18.000 Because people... I was like, if we did a show about commenters, commentators, how is that relevant to the average American?

00:06:25.000 How is it to the average person who's trying to...

00:06:28.000 You know, it's funny, so I don't even talk about the Young Turks, which people always used to ask me about the Young Turks, because obviously that's where I started at the political level in L.A.

00:06:36.000 or whatever, and I never comment about them, but they do all these videos about me all day long, okay, fine, but then finally on election night, Did you see that jank tweeted out that he that the power

00:06:47.000 had gone out in their studio?

00:06:48.000 And I just I screenshot it I didn't even retweet him because I was like I didn't want

00:06:52.000 to tag him and create like a fight But I just screenshot it and I just wrote lol sent from 0.96

00:06:57.000 florida I was like that's good enough like you vote in these morons 0.96

00:07:02.000 and now you can't get power at your studio. It's funny You deserve it. 1.00

00:07:07.000 It's funny.

00:07:07.000 I don't want to waste time getting too much into the intros, but one last point is, you clearly realized something was going on.

00:07:14.000 Your political views start changing.

00:07:16.000 You say, I'm getting out.

00:07:17.000 And now you look at the people who mocked you for it, their power shutting off in their studio.

00:07:21.000 And you're there in Florida where it's free.

00:07:22.000 Where it's free and it's awesome.

00:07:24.000 But that is part of the adventure.

00:07:26.000 It's like, you know, I realized something early on because I was so in it, right?

00:07:30.000 I was in it with like the YouTube thing and the Young Turks and these lefties. 0.97

00:07:34.000 And I saw all the weirdness around YouTube and all that shit. 0.67

00:07:38.000 Let's save it because we have a lot to talk about. 0.87

00:07:39.000 Let's save that, yeah.

00:07:41.000 Let's get back to genderqueer. 1.00

00:07:42.000 That's right, of course.

00:07:43.000 Luke is here as well.

00:07:43.000 Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but everyone loves me.

00:07:48.000 Especially in the comment section, I'm there with you guys, and today I'm wearing a shirt that says, y'all went from sheep to lab rats, which makes for a perfect conversation for Thanksgiving, family gatherings.

00:08:00.000 You could say a lot without really speaking, and from the testimony from the European Parliament, from the news report by NBC News, from everything that we saw in the last two years, it's absolutely true.

00:08:11.000 If you agree, get the shirt on thebestpoliticalshirts.com, because you do.

00:08:15.000 That's why I'm here.

00:08:16.000 Thanks for having me.

00:08:17.000 They say that, like, gossip is one of the weakest forms of communication.

00:08:20.000 You know, great minds talk about ideas.

00:08:22.000 Mediocre minds talk about things.

00:08:23.000 Weak minds talk about people.

00:08:25.000 So I'm kind of with you guys on the whole don't slander and slap off about other people.

00:08:29.000 But, Dave, you created Locals and then sold it to Rumble, and I made a comment that you sold out.

00:08:34.000 All right, let's do it.

00:08:35.000 So I was talking about you.

00:08:36.000 No, no, no.

00:08:36.000 We'll get into it.

00:08:37.000 We'll save it.

00:08:38.000 We'll get into it.

00:08:38.000 Oh, OK.

00:08:39.000 So that was me gossiping.

00:08:39.000 I think there is a value to do it a little bit, you know, as humans, we're community creatures and we kind of live in a global community.

00:08:45.000 So I tried the whole don't ever talk about anyone thing and it's very isolating and psychotic at some point.

00:08:50.000 I think it's worth it.

00:08:51.000 Well, you can't do what we do and never talk about people like you can't, you know what I mean? 0.97

00:08:55.000 You got it.

00:08:56.000 You can talk about ideas to the best of your ability and you can talk about what's going on in current events.

00:08:59.000 And then every now and again, it's going to slip into something about people.

00:09:03.000 Sometimes who you don't know or haven't met or just need more context for or whatever.

00:09:07.000 But just real quick on the vaccine thing because I can see you're freaking out over there.

00:09:10.000 I am not vaxxed and I hope that's okay with you guys.

00:09:13.000 I am original pure blood.

00:09:16.000 Did not get the shot and I don't like people who did get the shot.

00:09:20.000 Did you get COVID?

00:09:21.000 I did get COVID.

00:09:22.000 My legs hurt for a couple days, and that was it.

00:09:25.000 You felt it in your legs?

00:09:25.000 We're not freaking out.

00:09:27.000 We're with you.

00:09:28.000 I want to introduce Kellan.

00:09:30.000 Sarcasm.

00:09:31.000 We got a story on that too, but we got Kellan here.

00:09:33.000 Serge is out for the night.

00:09:34.000 Yeah, Serge is out.

00:09:35.000 I'm Kellan.

00:09:35.000 What's up?

00:09:36.000 I'm ready to go.

00:09:37.000 All right.

00:09:37.000 Well, let's get into the first story and talk politics.

00:09:39.000 We got this from CNN.

00:09:42.000 Trump is adored by his followers.

00:09:45.000 Dave Chappelle explained why.

00:09:47.000 This is from Dean Obadala.

00:09:51.000 I think you mentioned you knew him, Dave.

00:09:52.000 I used to do stand-up with him.

00:09:54.000 Let's just leave it at that.

00:09:56.000 Ah, okay.

00:09:56.000 Well, I'll put it simply, like, you have the story here, and it's amazing.

00:10:01.000 Let me read a little bit.

00:10:02.000 They say Chappelle pivoted about halfway through his monologue to the topic of Trump, remarking that, quote, I'm watching the news now, and they're declaring the end of the Trump era.

00:10:11.000 He then melded his acerbic comedy with a simple truth that everyone wishing Trump would disappear from the political landscape needs to hear, Trump's base hasn't come close to abandoning him.

00:10:20.000 I'm just being honest with you.

00:10:21.000 I live in Ohio amongst the poor whites. 0.73

00:10:24.000 A lot of you don't understand why Trump was so popular and very loved.

00:10:27.000 He goes on to mention, Trump says, I know the system is rigged because I use it.

00:10:32.000 The comedian then joked about how Trump accused during the debate with Hillary Clinton of not paying taxes and shot back, that makes me smart.

00:10:39.000 Chappelle shared that for many working class Americans struggling to make ends meet, Trump's honesty in revealing the rich and powerful have been taking full advantage of a system designed for their benefit only enhanced his stature.

00:10:49.000 It's amazing.

00:10:50.000 And then he said, Chappelle pointed out that Trump looked at her and said, and you won't change the laws because your friends benefit from it too.

00:10:58.000 And when I heard Dave Chappelle say that, I'm like, that wasn't a joke.

00:11:02.000 That wasn't anything other than powerful insight and a sales pitch.

00:11:07.000 When I heard him say that, it reminded me of the 2016 election, what Trump was on about.

00:11:15.000 And then I was just like, yeah, I kind of liked it.

00:11:17.000 He really made me, he really created a positive image of Trump.

00:11:22.000 They say Trump's going to announce his running tomorrow.

00:11:24.000 And the weekend before, Chappelle comes out and says, this thing Trump did, which is really, which is really, really good, people respect.

00:11:31.000 I'm like, wow.

00:11:33.000 Chappelle's comments were very close to what Michael Moore said in 2016, specifically when it came to middle Americans and blue-collar workers going for Donald Trump because he represented the larger ideas of the American working class, which he was representatively standing up for. 0.69

00:11:48.000 But then Dave Chappelle also made a joke about Donald Trump taking out his Illuminati card, sniffing some cocaine, and then Telling everyone how they're playing the game and then ... when inside the White House and then started playing the ... game which I thought was also another important point there ... but this could be one reason why he's being criticized as ... quote anti-semitic and and promoting anti-semitism right ... now by the ADL which I think is absolutely ridiculous.

00:12:11.000 What he mentioned in his comedy skit, I think, was perfectly navigating a very sensitive topic.

00:12:15.000 He hit everyone.

00:12:16.000 He made everyone laugh about a very tough issue.

00:12:19.000 And I think his representation of what happened to Kyrie Irving and Kanye West was also something important.

00:12:25.000 A couple days ago on my members area, I was talking about how Dave Chappelle was on Oprah, talking about how people were trying to drug him, so he had to escape the huge contract that he was under and literally went to Africa.

00:12:37.000 This is also something very similar that happened to Kanye West.

00:12:39.000 So, There's something to really think about here when it comes to people who are anti-establishment, people who are breaking from the matrix, people who are coloring outside of the box and are now being heavily criticized and attacked.

00:12:50.000 Well look, you color outside the box on anything and they're going to come for you.

00:12:53.000 Remember, when Rogan had Dr. Malone on, What happened the week after?

00:12:59.000 The entire mainstream media is saying Rogan is a racist and they're releasing all these videos of him saying the n-word not because he was actually racist but because he was making fun of the user of the people that use the n-word but that's what the system does but I think actually what you said about the timing is most interesting because it's like wait a minute We all saw that in 2016.

00:13:18.000 I didn't support Trump in 2016.

00:13:20.000 I did vote for him in 2020, and there's certainly a chance I'll vote for him again next time if that's where we're at.

00:13:25.000 But it's interesting because Chappelle, he must have known that then, and yet in the same monologue Chappelle says, I think he said twice, I'm a Democrat.

00:13:36.000 So it's like, well, A, what still makes you a Democrat?

00:13:38.000 I don't really get that.

00:13:40.000 Or maybe that's his way of just throwing a little something so that he's not ousted immediately from the power structure or something like that.

00:13:46.000 But also it's like, where were you for these last six years when Trump was doing all of those things that you're crediting him for?

00:13:52.000 That was day one stuff, right?

00:13:54.000 So it's one of those things where it's like, all right, you got to the party, so we'll take it.

00:14:00.000 There's the IQ bell curve thing of Trump, I think.

00:14:03.000 Actually, that's probably a bad way to put it, but when you start to really dig in deep into Trump's administration, you get a little soured by it, like John Bolton.

00:14:12.000 And I think Bolton was because of Sheldon Adelson he was getting money from.

00:14:17.000 When you actually look at the dark nitty gritty, you're like, meh.

00:14:20.000 My view of it is the Trump administration, I said this before, Trump was the best president of our lives.

00:14:26.000 That doesn't mean he was a good president, you know, whether you think he is or not is entirely up to you.

00:14:30.000 My point was that, name another president in my lifetime, in our lifetimes, who did a better job.

00:14:34.000 The economy was great, he was getting our troops out of the Middle East, the foreign policy was generally improving, the Abraham Accords, peace with North Korea. 0.56

00:14:41.000 And I'm like, that was all good enough for me in 2020 to say I will vote for him, because I don't like voting against people.

00:14:46.000 Look, we had all-time lowest Black unemployment, all-time lowest Latino unemployment.

00:14:51.000 The moment for me that like really kind of started the shift, because it took a while, because everybody kind of has their own little journey to get there, for me was that State of the Union address when he's talking about lowest all-time Black and Latino unemployment, and then they flash to the Congressional Black Caucus, and they're sitting there with scowls on their faces, and it's like, wait a minute, I thought if you guys want one thing, it might be for Black people to have jobs.

00:15:15.000 But they hated Trump more than that.

00:15:17.000 They hated him more than that.

00:15:19.000 They hate you so much they will vote for John Fetterman.

00:15:24.000 People walked into, I say walked into a booth, I guess nobody walks into a booth anymore, people go to the Dropbox or whatever they do, they mail in their 18 ballots to vote for Fetterman.

00:15:36.000 How profoundly insane is that?

00:15:39.000 It's this simple.

00:15:39.000 Dr. Oz, poor guy.

00:15:41.000 He had it all.

00:15:42.000 Think about Nancy Pelosi.

00:15:45.000 And I know everybody watching this, save for a small minority who for some reason are watching, do not like this woman, despise this woman.

00:15:53.000 Imagine who you would be willing to support to get rid of her.

00:15:56.000 Some bad people.

00:15:57.000 Right.

00:15:58.000 But, you know, she's worse, right?

00:16:01.000 You look at Federman and they weren't looking at Dr. Oz like it was Dr. Oz, and that's probably why Trump thought Oz could win.

00:16:08.000 They looked at Oz and they saw Trump.

00:16:10.000 And so they just said, MAGA bad, Republican bad.

00:16:12.000 If Trump's behind it, we vote for the other guy no matter what.

00:16:15.000 So despite the fact that Federman He's got severe, serious brain damage.

00:16:20.000 They wanted it.

00:16:21.000 But I will also stress too, because I pointed this out, and I think you probably agree, Republicans are never going to win again so long as universal mail-in voting is the rule of the land.

00:16:31.000 Because people who are disinterested from voting, who normally don't care, are having ballot harvesters knock on their door and say, did you fill that out?

00:16:38.000 Come on, just fill it out.

00:16:40.000 Then they do. 0.92

00:16:41.000 Then they put it in the mailbox, or the ballot harvester collects it, and a person who normally wouldn't vote and has no interest in voting is now voting, and it's creating this ignorant voter base that votes just by letter.

00:16:51.000 Well, let's say most likely everyone watching this can agree that to some extent there's something shady going on there.

00:16:58.000 So let's hit it from the other angle.

00:17:00.000 The other angle would be, well, what's going on in Florida?

00:17:02.000 Long lines?

00:17:03.000 free state where I live in Florida they cleaned it all up and you got to show an ID. It was such a

00:17:08.000 freaking pleasure to vote in Florida to go there after I've lived in LA for the last eight. Long lines?

00:17:14.000 No there were long lines actually. It was pretty functional went right in school, a smiley person

00:17:19.000 standing outside to walk right this way, used an actual pen, paper, actually put it in a in a

00:17:26.000 little folding envelope, then walked it over dropped it in the booth myself.

00:17:29.000 Somebody else said, thank you.

00:17:30.000 Checked an ID.

00:17:32.000 It was like, wow, democracy actually can work.

00:17:34.000 Some of this can have some value as opposed to LA where you just drive down Ventura Boulevard.

00:17:39.000 You just yell out who your name, you know, you yell it out to the crack dealer and then they whisper it and they vote Newsome.

00:17:44.000 Long lines, Arizona, machines not working, it's insane.

00:17:48.000 They still haven't figured out who won!

00:17:50.000 It's absolutely nuts!

00:17:51.000 It's absolutely crazy!

00:17:52.000 Did they fail math? 1.00

00:17:53.000 That's banana republic shit, when literally five days later, or whatever, no, five days, what am I saying? 1.00

00:17:59.000 It's now, we're seven days out, basically. 0.99

00:18:01.000 Well, again, one of the reasons why Florida got it right is because back in 2000, when the election wasn't counted on election night, people lost their ish.

00:18:10.000 People were freaking out.

00:18:11.000 Now it's slowly being normalized, which is absolutely crazy.

00:18:14.000 But after that Gore-Bush debacle in Florida, the state of Florida invested a lot of money into voting.

00:18:21.000 Ron DeSantis also specifically passed a law banning Zuckerbucks, what he called specifically money from Facebook, Into Florida and I think that also made a very big impact on the state because Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars making sure that there was mail-in ballots ballot harvesting and all that money all that financing wasn't available in Florida because Ron DeSantis stopped it and I think that is what helped him win here when almost everyone else lost.

00:18:48.000 Tim, do you think that part of it is also that they want people to not have faith in the system?

00:18:52.000 So they love all of this, not just because they're doing it better than Republicans, but it's also to break the average person to just be like, none of it works.

00:19:01.000 I don't care.

00:19:01.000 Just give me some stuff and I'll stay home.

00:19:04.000 And that'll be that.

00:19:05.000 Agreed.

00:19:06.000 No one ever said it was going to be easy.

00:19:08.000 And I had someone super chat, they were like, Tim, you told me to get all my friends and go vote and I did and look what we got.

00:19:14.000 And I'm like, you won.

00:19:15.000 The projection right now, like the hard projection is 219 in the House.

00:19:19.000 I mean, hey, maybe in a week the mail-in ballots will come and the Republicans will not have won.

00:19:24.000 Fortify.

00:19:24.000 They got a fortified but but if you didn't go tell your friends to vote you'd be doing way way worse

00:19:28.000 Yeah, it is difficult and here's what the Democrats would love and I did not the the neo the neocon established

00:19:35.000 Republicans as well They would love it. If everyone listening just said I give

00:19:39.000 up. Yeah, because then They don't got to worry anymore

00:19:42.000 They say, great, you've given up, and now we own it, and we'll own you forever.

00:19:46.000 Well, it's the ultimate black pill.

00:19:48.000 It's why I try to do my show at the end.

00:19:49.000 I always try to give some kind of positive thing at the end, because otherwise, what are we all doing, right?

00:19:54.000 We're all talking about these issues.

00:19:55.000 We're trying to, I mean, you're a great example of it, because you moved a couple times to places to do the work that you wanted to do, because, right, you didn't want to do it in Jersey.

00:20:05.000 You didn't feel safe there anymore.

00:20:06.000 I left LA.

00:20:07.000 New York first.

00:20:08.000 New York, right.

00:20:08.000 Yeah, they murdered those two cops in front of my house.

00:20:11.000 There you go.

00:20:12.000 So you did it.

00:20:14.000 You took your foot vote.

00:20:15.000 You took all the value that now you create here.

00:20:17.000 And it's like, people need to know that there is a place that they can go to that is still functional.

00:20:24.000 Florida is that, as DeSantis called it on election night, that is the citadel right now.

00:20:28.000 Well, Texas has obviously a version of it, Tennessee does, and a couple other places, but Florida's the home of the free right now.

00:20:34.000 But let me show you this tweet right here.

00:20:35.000 We have this tweet from Andrew Kaczynski.

00:20:37.000 You know him, you'll love him.

00:20:38.000 He says, Every single county moved further right in New York this year.

00:20:42.000 If it comes down to just a few seats, New York Democrats and backlash to Democratic policies, rule in New York will have cost them the House.

00:20:50.000 So, Hochul wins.

00:20:52.000 Zeldin loses, but how many votes did he lose by?

00:20:55.000 So he lost by about 350.

00:20:57.000 And I told you right before we started that over the last, I think it's three years in New York, they've lost over 550,000 people.

00:21:04.000 So if you just look at that math alone, Zeldin had people not moved, but you know, you have to put in a zillion factors because COVID made everybody crazy and everything else.

00:21:13.000 But it's like Zeldin could have won.

00:21:14.000 The fact that he even got this close and they flipped some of these seats is incredible.

00:21:18.000 Like that guy is the all-star.

00:21:19.000 DeSantis obviously is the The starter all-star from this thing, but Zeldin is a close second.

00:21:26.000 Every single district in New York shifted left.

00:21:29.000 I mean, just one more time, every single county.

00:21:31.000 Look at that.

00:21:31.000 Shifted right.

00:21:32.000 Sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:21:33.000 Shifted right.

00:21:34.000 From the left to the right.

00:21:35.000 It's all one thing when you look at it from space, man.

00:21:37.000 You go far enough left and you end up on the right.

00:21:39.000 But you mentioned 550,000 people.

00:21:42.000 I remember covering that story.

00:21:44.000 Hundreds of thousands from Manhattan left.

00:21:46.000 And who would be more likely to leave?

00:21:48.000 People who want freedom.

00:21:50.000 Where did they go?

00:21:51.000 Across the United States, they went to Florida first, Texas second.

00:21:54.000 And what do we see?

00:21:55.000 Both of them became more red.

00:21:58.000 And Georgia as well.

00:21:59.000 I don't know about Georgia, people moved there, but you know, Kemp defeated Abrams handily.

00:22:03.000 DeSantis gets this double-digit win, and everyone says things like he's a good leader, he had good messaging, he cleaned up the voting laws and rules.

00:22:12.000 All true, but also consider all the political refugees who went there and wanted to vote for him.

00:22:17.000 They moved there for him.

00:22:18.000 He attracted these people.

00:22:19.000 So there's some good and there's some bad, and the bad is...

00:22:22.000 I was worried about this, that if people were going to be fleeing, it would make red areas redder, and then you leave New York, it becomes bluer.

00:22:32.000 In some respects, though, that's how this whole thing was set up to be, right?

00:22:36.000 I mean, the idea of federalism, that the states will be extremely different experiments of democracy, and you will go somewhere that is in line with your values, that's really how it was supposed to be, you know?

00:22:46.000 Putting even New York aside, because they tried at least, Cali just, it's just never coming back.

00:22:52.000 But if that's what they want, you know, I still have some friends that live there.

00:22:56.000 But it's like, if that's what you want, I don't know what makes us united anymore.

00:22:59.000 And unfortunately, the blue states will always encroach on the red states.

00:23:02.000 Florida doesn't want anything from a blue state.

00:23:04.000 The blue states will want the tax money and all the resources of the functional red states.

00:23:10.000 That's what I think the next frontier is.

00:23:11.000 But on the other hand, we have to understand, Florida was a purple, is, I think was a purple state, now is a red state.

00:23:17.000 But Ron DeSantis barely won his first time around.

00:23:21.000 30,000 votes to a Methadone.

00:23:23.000 It was extremely close.

00:23:24.000 And now this larger transition from New Yorkers to Florida, I think has solidified Florida as a red state.

00:23:30.000 I think there's like a... But it's not what they want.

00:23:32.000 Sorry. You said if that's what they want in California, but it's not. What's happening is with the

00:23:39.000 way their election system works, the more they weaken it. Now they want to allow non-citizens 1.00

00:23:43.000 to vote. A weakened election system means that for all of the selfish, disinterested voters,

00:23:50.000 they negate the patriotic, hardworking American vote.

00:23:54.000 So for every one of you out there who knows what's going on, wants energy policy fixed, wants economic policy fixed, doesn't want our borders open, your vote is negated by some guy who's playing Grand Theft Auto's house when he hears a knock on the door, and someone walks up and says, couldn't help but notice that you got your mail today!

00:24:12.000 See that?

00:24:13.000 That's a ballot.

00:24:13.000 Did you fill it out?

00:24:14.000 And the guy says, I don't know, man, I don't care.

00:24:15.000 Look, just fill it out, it'll take 10 seconds, and then I'll leave.

00:24:18.000 And the guy goes, okay, sure, what am I doing?

00:24:20.000 Democrat?

00:24:21.000 Okay, here you go, man.

00:24:22.000 That one person who didn't care cancelled your vote.

00:24:25.000 Even, kind of, but what's happening is they're voting for people to go do what you think they're gonna do and then they end up not doing it because they get bribed.

00:24:32.000 Like, this idea that we're in the best system and this is the way it's supposed to be, I think, is really messing with people.

00:24:38.000 People think that they're in the This is it.

00:24:40.000 We got there.

00:24:40.000 I don't think we need, like, we only built a Republican, like, representative house because we needed to, because people couldn't represent themselves.

00:24:47.000 They didn't have telephones.

00:24:48.000 Now, we could.

00:24:49.000 700,000 people could vote yay or nay on a vote.

00:24:52.000 But we've talked about that.

00:24:52.000 That's direct democracy.

00:24:53.000 That doesn't work.

00:24:54.000 Direct republicanism.

00:24:56.000 We need a republic that's direct to the people so that we don't have these middlemen that are getting bought out by Corporations.

00:25:01.000 Well, in essence, you want localism and you want federalism.

00:25:05.000 So I agree with you, actually, that it's not that look, first off, California has basically the most Republicans in the entire country just because of the size of the state.

00:25:13.000 So it's not that all of these people want what they're getting there.

00:25:16.000 I would word it a little bit differently.

00:25:18.000 I would say at some point you got to just see what day it is, what time it is, and you got to get going.

00:25:24.000 And to me, if you are a freedom loving person who wants to own a business and feel safe and And not have genderqueer jam down your kid's throat and everything else.

00:25:34.000 Get the hell out of Cali. 0.91

00:25:35.000 It's as simple as that.

00:25:36.000 It really is.

00:25:37.000 To address what Ian was saying, I think you make an interesting point though.

00:25:39.000 So let's look at this map right here of New York, right?

00:25:40.000 These counties.

00:25:42.000 They all shifted towards the Republican Party.

00:25:45.000 If you didn't need to send your votes from, say, Utica, uh... to the the secretary of state or whatever determine

00:25:52.000 which individual run the state but instead

00:25:55.000 you in utica voted for what you wanted then uh... i guess the idea saying is that

00:26:01.000 your your more look more likely have your voice heard as an individual every

00:26:03.000 time it would be heard but it's not it's not direct democracy it's the district

00:26:07.000 gets a vote So if there's a member of Congress representing a district, instead, the district does a vote per issue or something like that.

00:26:15.000 Yeah, so everyone in the district would vote yes or no, and then the district would be decided by that vote, that would go to the Senate, basically.

00:26:20.000 So Congress would be passing a bill, and then the vote would go out to everyone to see online, and then you'd vote in your district, and your district would get a vote based on region.

00:26:30.000 But here's the point.

00:26:31.000 There's some pros and there's cons in this concept. 0.91

00:26:34.000 I mean, for one, it still ultimately comes down to ignorant people who don't care will end up voting.

00:26:40.000 But, counterpoint, it would require the ballot harvesters to go out seven times a week to try and win these votes and they wouldn't be able to do that.

00:26:50.000 Well, that's one of the reasons that the ballot harvesting works because they're going to blue cities, blue cities.

00:26:54.000 These are Democrats who want more control.

00:26:56.000 They want more government in their lives.

00:26:59.000 It's a lot harder to do it.

00:27:00.000 You're going to go out to Utica and you're going to go to Cornell and wander around in the freezing cold and try to get all these people.

00:27:06.000 People just aren't going to do it.

00:27:07.000 That's the Republican disadvantage.

00:27:09.000 But really think about that.

00:27:09.000 We're staring at a freaking completely red map with one little tiny dot of blue that people probably can't even see if they're on their phone, and that is now governed by a Democrat.

00:27:20.000 Does that really make sense?

00:27:22.000 That is freaking weird.

00:27:24.000 Yeah.

00:27:25.000 A Democrat who was one of the worst, I would say the worst three, her, Newsom, and Whitmer, one of the worst three when it came to lockdowns and everything else. 0.94

00:27:33.000 And the week before in the debate, she freaking said she would do it all again.

00:27:37.000 And these people voted for her.

00:27:39.000 So at some point, if you're a sane person there, you got to go, all right, Maybe we got a wrap up shop.

00:27:44.000 So here's the challenge.

00:27:45.000 You leave New York, and I've said get out of the cities, go to the middle of nowhere,

00:27:49.000 get some chickens, right?

00:27:50.000 You leave New York, which makes it, you're basically clearing all obstacles for these

00:27:55.000 people to solidify these rules and make them crazier and worse.

00:27:58.000 You leave, they will never lose again.

00:28:01.000 You go to Florida, you protect Florida.

00:28:03.000 Florida and Texas seem to be doing okay, but all the other states are now suffering and moving further and further towards authoritarianism.

00:28:09.000 No, you might have to cede some ground.

00:28:11.000 I think we might be at that place.

00:28:13.000 All right, here's what we do.

00:28:15.000 Everyone in Florida, have a bunch of kids.

00:28:17.000 Just start cranking them out.

00:28:18.000 10 babies per family.

00:28:19.000 Then, 18 years, we send those kids out all across the country.

00:28:23.000 Start colonizing blue cities.

00:28:25.000 Listen, I just had two kids.

00:28:26.000 They're never leaving.

00:28:27.000 They're never leaving Florida.

00:28:28.000 These kids are gonna... And I'm being buried in Florida.

00:28:31.000 I want to be clear about that.

00:28:32.000 Oh, they're gonna be homeschooled, or we'll figure out some pod thing.

00:28:34.000 Although, that being said, Florida actually has pretty damn good schools because of Mr. DeSantis and his don't-say-gay, and they booted all that stuff out of the schools.

00:28:43.000 So there actually are pretty good public schools in Florida.

00:28:46.000 I don't know what we'll do exactly, but I would be less concerned about that in Florida, which was the joke, because Florida has no state income tax.

00:28:55.000 And DeSantis also got involved in local school board elections and actually gave out recommendations for candidates that he wanted to win, which made a big impact, which is affecting the schools down there.

00:29:07.000 And nobody's gonna leave.

00:29:08.000 Hannah Navarro from The View, she's still, she lives in Miami, she complains every day, and she's not gonna get out. 0.97

00:29:13.000 Oh, you heard what she said about DeSantis, right?

00:29:16.000 That he gamed the system?

00:29:17.000 Gamed the system.

00:29:18.000 By arresting people committing fraud.

00:29:20.000 Yeah.

00:29:21.000 And voter IDs. 0.94

00:29:22.000 She seems to think that black people can't get IDs. 0.73

00:29:25.000 I know a lot of black people, every single one of them.

00:29:27.000 But when she was like, he gamed the system, he arrested people who committed fraud, and then credit the police, it's like, what do you think you're saying to people right now?

00:29:35.000 I really want to bump into her at a restaurant one day. 0.75

00:29:37.000 She's on my short list of people that I would say something really crazy to.

00:29:40.000 You might in Florida.

00:29:41.000 All the politicians dissing Florida go to Florida.

00:29:44.000 AOC loves Florida.

00:29:45.000 She vacations down to Miami all the time. 0.91

00:29:48.000 She had her own people masked up in New York, and she went to that freaking drag bar in Miami Beach, and then they paraded her around like she was a queen. 1.00

00:29:56.000 Like, how vile. 0.98

00:29:57.000 Oh man.

00:29:59.000 Another example of why I want to get rid of the House of Representatives. 0.99

00:30:01.000 I can't stand these faux celebrities getting popularity contested into a bribery state.

00:30:07.000 It's so annoying.

00:30:08.000 You know, I don't know if I agree with the get rid of the House of Reps, but I do agree that just because we created this system, which has been one of the best so far, or if not the best, It doesn't mean we stop here.

00:30:22.000 You know what I mean?

00:30:23.000 There's always got to be a way to do things better, to improve things.

00:30:26.000 You're right.

00:30:26.000 And I shouldn't say get rid of the House.

00:30:28.000 My intention is to transition to a better form of representation, personal representation.

00:30:32.000 Well, what if you just completely handicapped the federal government?

00:30:35.000 Would that basically do it for you?

00:30:37.000 I'm happy.

00:30:39.000 That's what we should all be going for.

00:30:41.000 That way, as you said, you move to Florida, you move down here, I move to Florida.

00:30:46.000 We're all making our choices.

00:30:47.000 And then the only issue then, if the federal government is not that powerful, is that the blue states don't somehow encroach on the red states.

00:30:54.000 It will not go the other way.

00:30:56.000 So that's the one thing we have to watch out for.

00:30:57.000 Or foreign governments.

00:30:59.000 The feds kind of protect the states from foreign government interference.

00:31:02.000 They're supposed to.

00:31:03.000 I want to show you guys this map real quick.

00:31:05.000 This is the total vote count.

00:31:06.000 I don't know if you guys knew this, but did you know that Republicans won the popular vote?

00:31:12.000 52.2 million to 47.2 million.

00:31:14.000 Yet, somehow, the Democrats end up staving off this red wave.

00:31:20.000 Of the total votes, there was 101 million.

00:31:22.000 So certainly not as much as 2020, or even as much as 2016.

00:31:26.000 It's a midterm, so I'm not surprised.

00:31:29.000 But Republicans won the popular vote.

00:31:32.000 Well, that's really incredible.

00:31:33.000 So when they say that Trump is the problem, that Trump was dragging the Republicans down, it's absolutely not true.

00:31:40.000 They did better than Democrats with all of the MAGA candidates and Trump support.

00:31:44.000 I think it's a little bit hard to say because we still don't.

00:31:47.000 It's hard to quantify the amount of people that just hate him.

00:31:51.000 religiously, hate him as the ultimate evil, and just will not vote because he's gotten involved.

00:31:58.000 So it's a little hard to quantify that.

00:32:00.000 But the point is, either way, Republicans did get more votes.

00:32:03.000 And again, look at that.

00:32:04.000 That's sort of like looking at the New York map.

00:32:06.000 That thing's pretty freaking red, and yet we're pretty much controlled by Democrats.

00:32:11.000 I love this, because what they end up coming out and saying is, it's because land doesn't vote.

00:32:16.000 Or they're like, Republicans think land votes.

00:32:17.000 And I'm like, okay.

00:32:19.000 Let me explain.

00:32:21.000 It certainly does.

00:32:22.000 And there's two things to point out.

00:32:23.000 First, the Republicans got more votes than you Democrats.

00:32:27.000 That right there.

00:32:28.000 So when you're like, Land doesn't vote, then how do you justify losing the popular vote this time and celebrating your victory? 0.97

00:32:36.000 Hypocrisy.

00:32:37.000 No, look, I recognize that the way the district system is, it's not going to be fixed for eight years when the new census comes in because of all the people who moved around and everything like that.

00:32:46.000 There's a reason why a state is red or a district is red.

00:32:50.000 It's because land does grow food.

00:32:52.000 The problem that I experienced when I went to California is because they, at a state level, they don't have a representative system.

00:33:00.000 They have just, you vote.

00:33:02.000 In Tulare County, they ran out of water.

00:33:05.000 And the farms, the farmers were drilling thousands of feet into the earth for groundwater.

00:33:10.000 The poor migrant workers, their homes ran dry, their wells stopped working.

00:33:14.000 Because the cities voted, we get the water.

00:33:17.000 The surface water was given to the big cities, well because they need it more.

00:33:20.000 But in reality what happens is, if you have one state And you say, okay, everybody, vote.

00:33:25.000 Should we allow people to keep the water that's in their area, or should we have all the water transferred to the cities?

00:33:33.000 Okay, everybody, now vote.

00:33:33.000 Guess what?

00:33:34.000 Two wolves and a lamb deciding on what's for dinner.

00:33:37.000 And the big city, with its 13 million people in L.A.

00:33:39.000 County or whatever, said, we vote to get your water. 0.93

00:33:42.000 They voted away water from these other places.

00:33:45.000 That's why land has protections.

00:33:48.000 Because people live there, and their resources need to be protected based on their interests.

00:33:51.000 Yeah, I mean, you just drive north from L.A.

00:33:54.000 Drive from New York to San Francisco and the amount of signs you see on all of the farmland, hey, what are you guys doing to our water, basically, the proof's right there.

00:34:03.000 L.A.

00:34:03.000 to San Francisco, you said New York to San Francisco, L.A.

00:34:05.000 to San Francisco?

00:34:06.000 L.A.

00:34:06.000 to San Francisco.

00:34:06.000 You know what I'd love to see?

00:34:07.000 These people don't understand what happens when the Great Lakes get voted away from the Great Lakes region.

00:34:13.000 There's a lot of people who live up there.

00:34:14.000 There's a lot more people who don't.

00:34:16.000 And a lot more people on the West Coast who are dealing with water crises.

00:34:19.000 And they want that fresh water, and they don't care how they get it. 0.96

00:34:22.000 So, let's put it up to a vote, Chicago, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and then see how long the Great Lakes last when Arizona says, don't know about your problem, don't care about your problem, we thirsty.

00:34:34.000 Because there's already been issues going back 10, 20 years where Western states who are in drought say they have a right to the Great Lakes, which are an American resource, and one of the only things that's stopping them from actually getting it is Canada.

00:34:46.000 Ontario, which is part of the Great Lakes Coalition.

00:34:49.000 This is why I'm like, hey, there's a reason why Illinois has rights over their resources and you can't vote them away from them.

00:34:57.000 Because it would destroy it.

00:34:58.000 But if you don't live there, why would you care?

00:35:00.000 You know, you want to strip the resource for yourself.

00:35:03.000 It would be, it would be a disaster if we did everything through direct democracy.

00:35:07.000 The Democrats want it when, you know, when, in 2020, when, you know, they, or in 2016, or in...

00:35:14.000 When they have the popular vote, but not the presidential election.

00:35:17.000 But they don't say anything about it now when the Republicans have the popular vote, but not the strong majority win.

00:35:24.000 It just seems obvious to me.

00:35:25.000 We're just going to have places that function and places that don't.

00:35:28.000 And they're going to keep going.

00:35:30.000 And then they'll purge all their people, as you're saying, right? 0.85

00:35:33.000 So think about how many... It's not just that 500,000 people left New York.

00:35:37.000 It's the type of people that leave.

00:35:39.000 It's people that have the resources to leave that are functioning, that are looking at the numbers and going, boy, it just doesn't make sense here.

00:35:46.000 The fact that I'm saving money by living in Florida now is crazy to me.

00:35:51.000 I didn't move because of taxes.

00:35:52.000 I was willing to pay it.

00:35:54.000 LA was nice.

00:35:54.000 I had a nice operation there.

00:35:57.000 But the fact that now I'm saving all this money, too, is crazy.

00:36:00.000 I would have paid that money to get in, and now I'm going to push the Santas to go.

00:36:04.000 I wasn't willing to pay that money, especially in New York City, paying city tax, state tax.

00:36:09.000 But you paid it until you got out, right?

00:36:11.000 I mean, that's the point.

00:36:12.000 And now you go, holy cow, I'm in Florida, and it's better, and I'm saving the money, too.

00:36:16.000 And how is it that Florida has roads?

00:36:18.000 Isn't that bizarre?

00:36:18.000 Florida has roads.

00:36:19.000 Despite no income tax.

00:36:21.000 Florida has better schools despite property tax.

00:36:23.000 No income tax.

00:36:24.000 No, but the property tax, yes, they do have high property taxes, but it's not, it's certainly not making up for what they're losing in income tax at the end of the year where they just take 10% of your money or whatever it might be.

00:36:34.000 So Florida declare independence?

00:36:38.000 I don't want to drop anything today, the day before Trump announces.

00:36:44.000 I'm thinking about, like, what do you do when there's one big lake that a bunch of states are pooling from?

00:36:48.000 You want to vote locally, because there's no reason Nebraska should be able to vote away Great Lakes water.

00:36:52.000 That makes no sense.

00:36:53.000 But at the same time, we're a unification of states.

00:36:56.000 There's no reason that Nebraska should not have access to the state water.

00:37:00.000 So we're kind of in a... I mean the bigger problem actually is that we're just we're in a massive culture war as you guys know.

00:37:07.000 These people live in another planet than us.

00:37:09.000 There are people that want to be locked down.

00:37:11.000 There are people who wanted to be injected and force other people to be injected and then at the same time say my body my choice.

00:37:17.000 We are living in completely separate worlds and how you put those people together mentally You know, sort of spiritually and mentally to live in a country, but then physically do it too?

00:37:27.000 It may just be too big of a problem.

00:37:29.000 We got to mention the Young Turks.

00:37:31.000 Have you seen, have you seen, but this, you know, I don't comment on the Young Turks or other leftist commenters as any kind of drama or anything like that.

00:37:41.000 I think there's a really interesting political point to be observed in Cenk Uygur's tweets and the production path he's taking.

00:37:47.000 You notice that he interviewed Matt Gaetz.

00:37:50.000 Oh, did it happen?

00:37:51.000 Because didn't the lights go out?

00:37:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:37:52.000 Well, they got him back on.

00:37:53.000 But at the very least, he announced he would be interviewing Matt Gaetz and people like that.

00:37:58.000 I'm sure that went well.

00:37:59.000 He came out against Defund the Police, which is a stark contrast from his initial position in 2020 supporting Defund the Police.

00:38:06.000 Who, Cenk? 1.00

00:38:06.000 Cenk. 1.00

00:38:07.000 Yeah, but he'll take any position.

00:38:08.000 You know, it's like they'll ruin everything.

00:38:09.000 That's the point.

00:38:11.000 He was going where the popular context was, right?

00:38:15.000 The popular position.

00:38:16.000 In 2020, the narrative was defund the police.

00:38:19.000 He was all on board.

00:38:19.000 I'm not gonna drag him for changing his opinion.

00:38:21.000 I'll just say outright, thank you, Cenk, for adopting the appropriate position.

00:38:25.000 Again, I think there's police reforms we absolutely do need.

00:38:27.000 I'm not the biggest fan of law enforcement, but outright, right, just be like, get rid of cops is nuts.

00:38:31.000 Now he's coming out with Anna, and they're saying things like, we shouldn't do this.

00:38:35.000 There are rumors about why that is, I guess.

00:38:38.000 Wait, shouldn't do what?

00:38:39.000 Get rid of the police.

00:38:40.000 Oh, so they're both saying it now.

00:38:41.000 They're both saying it's a crazy proposition, you shouldn't do it.

00:38:44.000 And that says something.

00:38:45.000 It says something about the shift in politics that's occurring right now.

00:38:49.000 And, you know, I'll put it this way.

00:38:51.000 When you did that, you know, why I left the left thing, PragerU was massive.

00:38:57.000 They started coming after you saying, oh, he's faking it, he's a grifter and all that stuff.

00:39:01.000 And then we mentioned this early on in the show, here you are in Florida, in your studio, ever successful, and the Young Turks' power went out, and they had to complain about how the mayor has failed them.

00:39:11.000 And it's like, it's amazing.

00:39:12.000 If they saw what you saw, or at the very least they did, but if they accepted that it was true, and were willing to say what is true, they would not be in a place where their power is going out.

00:39:21.000 Now they're changing their opinions though.

00:39:23.000 Yeah, so I mean I have no need to really talk about them, but I would say that I swear to you with every fiber of my being that all I did was do what I thought the right thing was along the way and then make the choices according.

00:39:35.000 So I started talking to people that were different than me, right?

00:39:38.000 Like every day they'd be saying Ben Shapiro and Larry Elder and Dennis Prager and Glenn Beck, they're racist and blah blah blah.

00:39:44.000 And it was like, all right, well, let me talk to these guys and see what happens.

00:39:46.000 And then I started talking to them and I go, boy, well, I guess I do disagree with them on some stuff.

00:39:50.000 And I still have certain, absolutely, you have disagreements with them on a bunch of different things, but they're nice, they're generous of spirit, they're kind, they want to live in a country with people that are different than them.

00:39:59.000 And then I just kept going down that road.

00:40:01.000 And then, you know this too, because you did the same thing.

00:40:04.000 You go down that road long enough, and then you're like, well, wait a minute, now I want my life.

00:40:07.000 To fit with that.

00:40:09.000 So I don't want to just have a set of political ideas.

00:40:11.000 I want to live those political ideas.

00:40:12.000 So for me, that was fighting as freaking hard as I could in Cali for the recall.

00:40:17.000 Recall was a disaster.

00:40:18.000 I campaigned with Larry Elder.

00:40:20.000 You know, I got audited by the state three days after the recall.

00:40:23.000 So this is what happens in Cali.

00:40:25.000 That's what they do.

00:40:26.000 And that was the day I had wanted to leave for about a year, but I was really trying.

00:40:30.000 You know, the riots had gone right by my house, so I actually moved, because I was like, if I move up the hill, maybe I'll be a little safer, but whatever.

00:40:36.000 Then I got the hell out, and now it's working, because I followed the true path.

00:40:40.000 I really believe that.

00:40:41.000 I think there's similarities and a bit of differences between how we sort of approached it.

00:40:46.000 For me, I'd put it like, I grew up in Chicago, and there's no Republican Party.

00:40:51.000 So the only thing you know is Democrats, and you hate them.

00:40:56.000 As a young person growing up, it was anarcho-punk, far-left, skateboarding, et cetera, and the Democrats were evil, and we didn't really know much about Republicans.

00:41:06.000 My friends, there's no Republicans.

00:41:09.000 It just doesn't happen.

00:41:09.000 And then you go out in the suburbs, and you're like, there was no, when I grew up, I had no negative thoughts about Republicans, because they were non-existent.

00:41:17.000 It did not impact, for the most part, anything going on, because it's super-majority Democrat across the board.

00:41:22.000 So when I get older, I end up meeting a bunch of people on the suburbs outside of the city who are Republican and I have no ill will or ill thoughts toward them because they did not play a factor in urban Chicago living.

00:41:32.000 And then I start hearing their opinions and I'm like, at this point I'm eating chicken dinner with my friend's family who are conservative and I don't know anything.

00:41:39.000 And I'm like, oh.

00:41:40.000 And so then I start shifting from this young urban, you know, skateboarding, far lefty activist into more of like a moderate liberal position where I'm like, okay, I totally understand what these people are saying.

00:41:52.000 Never actually talked to him about it.

00:41:54.000 And then, as I get older, what do you see?

00:41:56.000 You see the media's lying.

00:41:58.000 They lie more.

00:42:00.000 They lie more.

00:42:01.000 And then, what ends up happening is, it's not so much that people decide to become conservative, but that conservative became a much bigger tent.

00:42:10.000 So I go to the Deplora Ball in 2017, and two people are there.

00:42:14.000 They're like, Tim, we're big fans!

00:42:15.000 And I was like, really?

00:42:16.000 I didn't know I had a bunch of Trump-supporting fans.

00:42:18.000 They're like, no, no, we're occupied.

00:42:19.000 We were big Bernie bros, but now that it's Trump, saw the same thing in Anaheim.

00:42:22.000 That red pill's a beautiful thing, man.

00:42:24.000 But it wasn't so much that these people were, I mean, they were liberal hippies, but Bernie Sanders was their choice, and with no Bernie, it's certainly not going to be Hillary Clinton.

00:42:34.000 Trump was the other guy who was talking about fixing our borders and bringing jobs back and protecting unions, so he was the guy.

00:42:40.000 So people end up voting for him not because they're far right, but because he was closer to their values as a populist.

00:42:47.000 And then, of course, the weird, insane cult left accuses anybody who opposes them of being right-wing.

00:42:53.000 So now, all of a sudden, you and I are conservative, I guess.

00:42:55.000 I mean, you may have actually gotten more conservative.

00:42:58.000 Yeah, well, first off, by no stretch am I a traditional conservative by the way anyone understands the word conservative.

00:43:05.000 I mean, I wrote a book, my first book.

00:43:07.000 was a complete defense of classical liberalism.

00:43:10.000 And, you know, if you went through everything in my book, it's all the stuff that Bill Maher would agree with.

00:43:14.000 I just don't think it can stand on its own anymore.

00:43:17.000 So I do think we do need a new alliance and we're doing it right now of sort of ex-libs and conservatives and libertarians and caps and all of these people.

00:43:27.000 It's basically we all have to save the country and then we'll deal with our problems after.

00:43:32.000 I think that's basically where we're at.

00:43:33.000 You know, regarding is Trump the guy, this is kind of what we talked about at the beginning of the segment.

00:43:37.000 What happens is, you know when you try and start your car while it's already going?

00:43:40.000 And it just... Like, Trump was the spark.

00:43:43.000 Trying to spark the machine right now is not the move.

00:43:46.000 Let's talk about this thing.

00:43:47.000 I have this tweet from Interactive Polls 2022.

00:43:49.000 This is interesting.

00:43:52.000 Iowa, DeSantis up 11, Trump down 15.

00:43:55.000 New Hampshire, DeSantis 52 to Trump's 37.

00:43:57.000 Florida, DeSantis 56 to Trump's 30.

00:43:59.000 Georgia, DeSantis 55 to Trump's 35.

00:44:02.000 Are they lying to once again get rid of Trump?

00:44:05.000 Or is Ron DeSantis the new star?

00:44:07.000 Let's try it this way.

00:44:07.000 What would you say the negatives on DeSantis are?

00:44:10.000 Because we can all do negatives on Trump all day long, and we can all do the positives on DeSantis very easily, right?

00:44:14.000 It's pretty much everything.

00:44:15.000 So what would you say the negatives of DeSantis are?

00:44:18.000 He passed anti-free speech legislation.

00:44:20.000 The BDS stuff? 0.68

00:44:21.000 Florida, the BDS stuff. 0.74

00:44:22.000 I think that's pretty important.

00:44:24.000 Okay.

00:44:25.000 Can you explain that?

00:44:26.000 I'm not that well-read on it specifically, so I wouldn't want to talk outside of my expertise, to be honest with you.

00:44:33.000 It was—so boycott, divest, sanction Israel. 0.64

00:44:36.000 He came out in favor of not allowing that.

00:44:39.000 I think it had to do with universities.

00:44:40.000 But again, We're not allowing it as a state actor?

00:44:44.000 Right.

00:44:44.000 All right, so it sounds like we don't fully understand what it is, but all right, let's... And that's a fair point.

00:44:48.000 Okay, so let's... But I'm not even coming out as that as a principal negative for DeSantis, mostly because it's not something I know enough about to criticize him on.

00:44:57.000 Admittedly, we definitely want to make sure we check into something like that, because...

00:45:00.000 Sure, if he was infringing on any free person's speech, then I would have a problem with it.

00:45:05.000 But the government is allowed to tell government employees what they're allowed to do, something like that.

00:45:09.000 So I would need to know more about this.

00:45:10.000 This was based in university and schools.

00:45:12.000 Specifically, if a school would support or allow someone to criticize or boycott Israel, he would punish the school and take away their funding.

00:45:20.000 But I think it had to do with... And Donald Trump also had similar points of views and viewpoints that he also supported as well.

00:45:25.000 So it's a Trump-DeSantis issue that they stood behind.

00:45:28.000 I'll put it this way.

00:45:29.000 I think we are all too weakly versed on the issue specifically, but I do think it's important to bring up... But let's even say it was a pretty bad thing.

00:45:35.000 So okay, so that's one.

00:45:37.000 To entertain the possibility that there are things we don't like about him that we're not well versed on, I think, is a fair point.

00:45:41.000 However, my view of DeSantis is, to be honest, I can't think of a negative.

00:45:45.000 However, when you compare DeSantis to Trump in the event that they go up against, you know, when they're on the stage, Trump is an imposing figure of grandeur who can... The way Milo put it is that when he gets his mojo back, he dominates the stage.

00:46:04.000 He commands, he pushes everyone out, he shuts them down.

00:46:07.000 Now that is not a policy or a practical advantage.

00:46:11.000 It is a political advantage.

00:46:13.000 So what's interesting about that, so I actually agree with you on that, but he didn't really dominate Biden in the debates.

00:46:20.000 And isn't that bizarre?

00:46:22.000 Now knowing the degradation of Biden and how bad he is, and it was obvious he was bad at the time, but he didn't really crush him in those debates.

00:46:30.000 So for some reason, Trump seems to be better when there's multiple people on stage and there's a fray, right?

00:46:35.000 And he can then just sort of hit everybody.

00:46:38.000 But the one-on-one thing was not his thing. 0.99

00:46:40.000 But also, at the end of the day, the biggest weakness is that, yes, is Trump more of a, I'm going to get in the ring with you and say all of the horrible things and dig up all of the evil shit and all of that? 0.98

00:46:53.000 To me, I don't know that most people see that as a positive anymore. 0.98

00:46:56.000 I think people would actually look at it and be like, wait a minute, Trump.

00:46:59.000 What you're trying to do here is take out the guy who has done absolutely everything right, using just all of the worst tactics.

00:47:06.000 I just don't know that that would fly anymore.

00:47:08.000 I like what you said earlier when we were downstairs in the green room.

00:47:10.000 You said, uh, 4-D chess by mail.

00:47:12.000 It's the longest game of 4-D chess.

00:47:14.000 Well, everything with him is 4-D chess.

00:47:15.000 And it's like, okay, guys, are we gonna ever, like...

00:47:17.000 Does the game ever end here?

00:47:19.000 I know a couple days ago I tweeted, oh no, the 4D chess analogies are back online and I'm just like, I'm so sick of it.

00:47:25.000 I said 12D.

00:47:26.000 Trump is so advanced in his chess, he surpassed M-theory.

00:47:30.000 One extra dimension.

00:47:31.000 You do throw out a tweet every now and again where I have to read it like six times and then I'm like, alright, forget this.

00:47:36.000 I don't know which way he's going on this one.

00:47:37.000 That was one of them.

00:47:38.000 I was like, what is going on here?

00:47:39.000 Is it 12D now?

00:47:40.000 Like, where are we going?

00:47:41.000 Trump also came out a few days ago and says that he has dirt on DeSantis, that his wife doesn't even know that he's going to be releasing to the general public.

00:47:49.000 He said this on Fox News.

00:47:50.000 But that's what I'm saying.

00:47:51.000 Even if it's true, even if it's true, right? 1.00

00:47:53.000 Whatever it is, he cheated on his wife and he did blow off a hooker's ass and like whatever it is. 1.00

00:48:01.000 First off, Trump's done an awful lot of bad stuff. 0.99

00:48:03.000 And I just don't think if you're willing to do that now to the guy that's getting everything done, Yeah.

00:48:10.000 It's like, I just don't think that's what Americans want anymore.

00:48:13.000 I think there is a long leash on our personal lives and that we've all done stuff.

00:48:17.000 Trump proved it, right? 1.00

00:48:19.000 Trump proved you can sleep with hookers and you can grab them by the pussy and you can 1.00

00:48:22.000 do all that stuff and we'll still vote for you. 1.00

00:48:24.000 So if his move is, well, DeSantis has done kind of all the policy, right?

00:48:28.000 So I can't get him on that, but I'm going to dig up something to derail him.

00:48:33.000 I think it's gonna have more blowback than... And it has, and it has right now, especially with these numbers that Tim is showing, but also I would question the numbers because the numbers in the polls have been wrong.

00:48:42.000 A lot.

00:48:42.000 But the conversation, in my opinion, should be the anti-establishment versus McCarthy, McConnell, but it's not.

00:48:49.000 It's the anti-establishment versus the anti-establishment wing of the party kind of having a civil war within each other, destroying each other, rather than, of course, building and growing and, of course, fighting the bigger fights out there.

00:48:59.000 Fighting themselves and essentially eliminating and destroying any potential of a populist surge that could be there.

00:49:06.000 Well, to that point, I mean, we don't even know if DeSantis is going to run.

00:49:10.000 I mean, the guy loves Florida.

00:49:11.000 Like, I honestly, I know him fairly well now, and I've done a bunch of things with him.

00:49:15.000 Like, the guy freaking loves the state of Florida.

00:49:18.000 He is born and bred there.

00:49:20.000 He loves it.

00:49:20.000 Look what he's done there.

00:49:21.000 Like, maybe in part of his head, he's like, hey, I'm 44 years old.

00:49:24.000 I got this beautiful young family.

00:49:26.000 Like, I'm riding high right now.

00:49:28.000 Maybe my life is to just fortify the place that I love and do great things there.

00:49:32.000 Like, we don't know what his plans are.

00:49:34.000 But when he was asked directly, he gave a perfect political answer.

00:49:39.000 Not answering the question, avoiding it, during the debate as governor, which made it seem exactly like he's going to be running, like any politician would.

00:49:46.000 So let me give you some insider context on that.

00:49:48.000 I was actually at the debate, and right before the cameras started, they announced to the crowd that was in the room, they said, the candidates have agreed and signed a document saying that they will not ask each other questions.

00:50:00.000 So when DeSantis just stood there, it was because he was honoring what they signed.

00:50:05.000 Charlie Crist has no morals or anything else.

00:50:07.000 So Charlie Crist knew exactly what he was doing.

00:50:09.000 That's not to say DeSantis shouldn't have had a better response.

00:50:12.000 He should have said no.

00:50:13.000 Or he could have said, hey Charlie, we actually just signed something that said we're not going to do that.

00:50:17.000 Do you have any morals?

00:50:20.000 We talked about it when it happened.

00:50:21.000 We did the math on it.

00:50:23.000 There's no upside to doing anything other than saying no.

00:50:26.000 Right.

00:50:27.000 If he said, are you going to run for president?

00:50:30.000 Or what he said was, are you going to commit to finishing out your term as governor?

00:50:34.000 DeSantis could have went, yes, I do.

00:50:36.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:50:37.000 Have a nice day.

00:50:38.000 And just end it, yeah.

00:50:39.000 Because if in the event in the future things change, he can say something like, I know I vowed to be here for the state of Florida, but I decided I can be.

00:50:48.000 As the president of the United States, I can do more for Florida and for the rest of this country, and I will make sure that Florida stays true, you know, stays with my heart and I will always be there for you.

00:50:55.000 I think that advice probably would have been better than to, he sort of did just freeze in the moment, but he was trying to honor the agreement that they had just signed.

00:51:02.000 And you know, that's the problem when you, when you play with one guy that has rules.

00:51:05.000 You know what Trump would have done?

00:51:08.000 What would Trump have done?

00:51:10.000 If he was asked, you know, are you going to honor your commitment to be governor?

00:51:14.000 Trump would have been like, I thought we agreed we weren't going to ask each other questions.

00:51:17.000 When did you stop beating your wife, Charlie?

00:51:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:51:20.000 He would have done something like that.

00:51:22.000 That would have worked in the debate context.

00:51:24.000 So your point basically is that even if DeSantis has everything right, and let's just say minimal downside, it's like he might get just crushed in the theater of the thing.

00:51:39.000 It is possible.

00:51:41.000 It is possible.

00:51:42.000 Imagine, it's really crazy.

00:51:44.000 I was watching, you know, we're playing music videos downstairs in the green room.

00:51:49.000 We have that voice-activated TV that you didn't like.

00:51:52.000 Yeah, what are you doing?

00:51:53.000 Thank you.

00:51:54.000 Thank you, Dave.

00:51:54.000 I've been screaming about this.

00:51:55.000 I was like, the CIA's listening every single day.

00:51:58.000 How are you, you, Tim Pool, of all people, you're talking to your Google television?

00:52:02.000 It's one TV in the whole house.

00:52:05.000 One TV in the room that 20 of you are standing in, coming up with your plans to take over the country.

00:52:11.000 He had Alexis before.

00:52:12.000 I was like, what are you doing?

00:52:14.000 Alexis, stop. 0.98

00:52:15.000 They just activated their watch.

00:52:18.000 When we play the music videos, these political ads would pop up where They're just lying, and it's the craziest lies I've ever heard, and I'm just thinking to myself, how do they get away with saying things that are so... Look, I get it, you can have your opinion in politics, and it's hard, you know, you've got Times v. Sullivan defamation precedent stuff, but when you come out outright and be like, my opponent said X and he didn't, it's just kind of a crazy thought.

00:52:42.000 I'm just like, you know what I want to see? Just look, Republicans, if you're going to win right

00:52:47.000 now, you can do two things. You can play the game of lies or you can offer fifteen thousand dollars

00:52:52.000 to everybody who votes for you like Joe Biden did, basically. But I'm imagining you go up on stage

00:52:58.000 and pull, pull, pull, play the game.

00:53:01.000 Are you going to stay and commit to being governor?

00:53:04.000 When did you stop beating your wife? 0.99

00:53:06.000 When did you stop touching your children? 0.58

00:53:08.000 You want to play games?

00:53:09.000 Let's ask.

00:53:09.000 I didn't say he did.

00:53:10.000 I asked him when he stopped.

00:53:12.000 That's the level of politics, right?

00:53:14.000 And people will immediately believe it.

00:53:17.000 Even though you didn't say he did.

00:53:18.000 You can say, when did you stop stealing from the local grocery store?

00:53:22.000 So in a way you're making an argument, you're making an anti-Trump argument I think because your argument basically is he could open, maybe he sort of did this and it needed to happen the first time, but he might open up the gates of hell here.

00:53:32.000 Right? 0.99

00:53:32.000 Like, if it gets to the two of them, and it's like, DeSantis is winning on policy, and, you know, he feels fresher, and it's right, and there's a track record, but Trump is willing to do the craziest shit known to man, which I think we would all agree he would do. 0.99

00:53:46.000 And again, I voted for the guy, and I think... Right. 0.95

00:53:49.000 So that says something about humanity, I suppose.

00:53:52.000 It does.

00:53:52.000 And it's something very dark.

00:53:54.000 You know, Ben Shapiro.

00:53:57.000 He says facts don't care about your feelings.

00:53:59.000 Quite assuredly he does, and he gets a hundred plus thousand retweets on Twitter, he pins it, and all of the conservatives smugly pat each other on the back in their victory of how smart they are in reality.

00:54:10.000 But they're not wrong, they're not wrong.

00:54:11.000 But I say this rather derisively because feelings don't care about your facts.

00:54:16.000 And you can come out and say, well, if Joe Biden were to shut down the Keystone pipeline, it would cause speculative drive, meaning the investors and the traders are going to realize supply won't meet demand in the coming years because the pipeline was shut down and thus prices will increase.

00:54:31.000 So they invest now causing an early price increase.

00:54:34.000 And the average person goes, huh?

00:54:36.000 And then Joe Biden comes out and goes, look here, man, I'm gonna give you $10,000, you know, put it in your pocket.

00:54:41.000 Come on, man.

00:54:42.000 And they go, well, $10,000 sounds pretty good.

00:54:45.000 I'll vote for him.

00:54:46.000 Keep it simple.

00:54:47.000 Make it understandable.

00:54:48.000 Donald Trump gets on the debate stage with Ron DeSantis.

00:54:50.000 And Ron says, in the great state of Florida, we kept our businesses open.

00:54:54.000 We saw our economy improve.

00:54:56.000 Unemployment went down. 0.99

00:54:58.000 And Trump's gonna go, well, I think you're ugly. 0.95

00:55:00.000 And everyone's gonna go, whoo! 0.99

00:55:01.000 Start clapping and cheering.

00:55:03.000 I know and I'm I think personally I'm just past that part and that may be where we're at Like I think we need enough.

00:55:10.000 How about it something like this?

00:55:12.000 I think we just need more adults in the room I think too many of us have just let go of that Part of ourselves in a way did not want to confront all of the scary mean things out there and maybe we just need a little more of Jordan Peterson like like stand up straight with your shoulders back and and just not be part of the slow descent to hell I think that's true.

00:55:31.000 I'm wondering if anyone could get into the presidency and not get assassinated acting like Kennedy.

00:55:35.000 Be like, the CIA, I'm uncovering it all.

00:55:38.000 They know where the guy lives.

00:55:40.000 So is it more of a local adulthood that you're trying to create?

00:55:42.000 Well, I think DeSantis could.

00:55:44.000 I don't want any of these guys to get assassinated, even the ones I don't like.

00:55:47.000 But, you know, I think that there is room for a sane, competent person. 0.91

00:55:52.000 I think if we had a sane, competent person as president, and we do not have a sane, competent person right now in Joe Biden, If we had someone who people believed he believed what he was saying and was roughly honest and things kind of worked, I think people would let go of so much of the other shit happening in society right now. 0.54

00:56:09.000 But right now we know it's what you just said. 0.76

00:56:11.000 We know everything is a lie everywhere, constantly.

00:56:15.000 Everything that they say is misinformation usually is truth.

00:56:18.000 All the good guys are the bad guys.

00:56:20.000 The bad guys are good guys.

00:56:21.000 So people are willing to do anything in a situation like that.

00:56:24.000 And I think that's what's so refreshing about Florida.

00:56:26.000 It's like, oh, it works.

00:56:27.000 We got breaking news.

00:56:28.000 Katie Hobbs has won Arizona Reports' decision desk, that they have flipped the Republican state to Democrat as of 8.50 p.m., with 98% reporting Carrie Lake was still down and unable to win.

00:56:42.000 There were not enough remaining votes, so they're calling it.

00:56:45.000 What do you think Carrie's going to do? 1.00

00:56:46.000 I don't think she's going to take this lying down.

00:56:48.000 She better not.

00:56:49.000 I think she's going to file some lawsuits. 1.00

00:56:51.000 They absolutely should.

00:56:53.000 She has standing here, and she has to move very, very quickly on this one.

00:56:57.000 Look, if the people of Arizona legally, respectfully voted for Katie Hobbs, so be it.

00:57:03.000 So be it.

00:57:04.000 But in today's day and age, with the way this country is going, Carrie Lake absolutely should not.

00:57:10.000 And in order to solve the problem of 2020, And now, of 2022, with ballot harvesting and universal mail-in voting, the long lines, the adjudication, the broken machines, you need standing.

00:57:23.000 And that standing just happened right now.

00:57:25.000 Carrie Lake, negatively impacted by fire lawsuits now.

00:57:30.000 That's entirely possible.

00:57:31.000 The state of Arizona is going to have judges who just say, no thank you, have a nice day, as they did in 2020.

00:57:36.000 But this is the way it works.

00:57:38.000 So now begins the legal battle, which I think should happen.

00:57:42.000 And I think there's two things to say about Arizona.

00:57:45.000 One, Universal mail-in voting, as I've described, ad nauseum.

00:57:49.000 Mom says, come on kids, we're going out to dinner.

00:57:51.000 Her 18, 19-year-old kids who live at home, because the economy's in the gutter.

00:57:54.000 And then she says, before we go out to dinner, fill out your ballots.

00:57:56.000 And those kids go, Mom, I don't care about this.

00:57:59.000 Just fill it out and we'll go to Olive Garden.

00:58:01.000 Unlimited breadsticks.

00:58:02.000 So they do.

00:58:03.000 That greatly helps Democrats.

00:58:04.000 Republicans don't have that same ballot harvesting game.

00:58:07.000 The bigger issue With Democrats doing that, and then Republicans going in on election day, and this is partly Trump's fault, the machines were busted.

00:58:16.000 Many of the machines weren't working.

00:58:17.000 Videos popping up of them rejecting ballots.

00:58:20.000 The ink wasn't properly laid, so the machine was having trouble scanning it.

00:58:24.000 Then they had to put them in and adjudicate it.

00:58:25.000 Some people were leaving because the lines were too long, disenfranchising Republican voters.

00:58:29.000 And probably, I would argue, enough.

00:58:32.000 That is a problem that must be adjudicated.

00:58:35.000 It must be solved in the courts.

00:58:38.000 Otherwise, this problem will never be solved.

00:58:41.000 If there's one thing Carrie Lake can do, even if she doesn't become governor, she can stop the broken process so the next time around this doesn't happen. 1.00

00:58:49.000 I need to confirm, Katie Hobbs is in charge of the election in Arizona? 1.00

00:58:52.000 Yes.

00:58:52.000 And she did not recuse herself, obviously.

00:58:55.000 And neither did Brian Kemp in 2018.

00:58:58.000 A huge deal that someone is in charge of an election they won.

00:59:02.000 And it was in 2018 with Brian Kemp.

00:59:04.000 And he's the Republican.

00:59:05.000 Same thing.

00:59:06.000 He was in charge of the elections.

00:59:08.000 The Democrats cried foul.

00:59:09.000 He ended up winning.

00:59:10.000 And they claimed he disenfranchised voters to win.

00:59:13.000 I'm sorry to cut you off.

00:59:13.000 No, no.

00:59:14.000 And Stacey Abrams then spent four years saying that she was basically the governor. 1.00

00:59:19.000 What's also interesting about Hobbes is that Hobbes refused to debate Carrie Lake.

00:59:24.000 So when you talk about how Fetterman, you know, obviously has some level of brain damage or whatever the stroke did to him, on top of all the bad ideas and everything else.

00:59:31.000 So Democrats can put up candidates that barely can speak, Fetterman and Biden, and they can also now put up candidates who literally will not debate the other person.

00:59:42.000 This is a huge problem.

00:59:43.000 It's a function problem, but it's a problem.

00:59:46.000 It's like, Remember that, what was it, about a month ago when she said, well, you know, we're busy with fundraisers, so I don't think I'm gonna have time for a debate.

00:59:55.000 Well, then that seems disqualifying to me.

00:59:58.000 I think, you know, I was talking about this the day after the election.

01:00:02.000 I wake up and I see all these Republicans like, how could this have happened?

01:00:04.000 This is Trump's fault.

01:00:06.000 And, you know, I'm like, I don't understand.

01:00:09.000 Why is everybody so mad?

01:00:10.000 The Republicans won.

01:00:11.000 The projections were 224 in the House.

01:00:14.000 Now it's 219.

01:00:16.000 Maybe in a week I'll be like, well, I guess they didn't win because more ballots came in and they cured them or whatever.

01:00:20.000 I don't know.

01:00:20.000 They're saying Lauren Boebert might lose now.

01:00:22.000 But as long as the Republicans take the House, that's it.

01:00:26.000 By one vote, they change the Speaker.

01:00:27.000 Pelosi's fired.

01:00:29.000 And then they can start subpoenas and all that stuff.

01:00:32.000 And fingers crossed, I think they're projecting like 97, 98% chance that's what's going to happen now at this point.

01:00:38.000 And I'm like, what more could Republicans have wanted?

01:00:42.000 If you got the Senate, then you get Rand Paul on the health committee.

01:00:47.000 He can ask a bunch of questions.

01:00:48.000 He's already done that.

01:00:49.000 So they're not going to pass laws.

01:00:51.000 There's no veto-proof majority.

01:00:52.000 Biden wouldn't allow it.

01:00:54.000 I think there's two silver linings here.

01:00:57.000 With Federman winning, you're now going to have endless memes about how insane the Democrats are for electing this guy.

01:01:02.000 They're going to try and keep him out of the press.

01:01:05.000 to a great degree. And also it sort of absolves Republicans of any responsibility for the

01:01:10.000 downturn that happens. So as bad as it's been over the past couple of years, and it's not going to

01:01:15.000 improve, already they're talking about the economy is expected to get worse, there's gonna be a major

01:01:19.000 economic crisis next year. The Republicans can be like, hey, y'all voted Democrat.

01:01:24.000 We barely got the majority by plus one seats, so don't look at us.

01:01:29.000 Come 2024, there's an opportunity if they fix the universal mail-in ballot.

01:01:32.000 Right, that's the thing.

01:01:33.000 That's what I was gonna say.

01:01:34.000 It still comes down to that, because things are pretty shitty now.

01:01:37.000 We're in a recession, although they don't call it, they changed the definition of recession, so it doesn't quite count.

01:01:41.000 The supply chain stuff, just try to order something from Crate and Barrel, see how long it takes.

01:01:46.000 Try to buy a window, right?

01:01:47.000 Literally anything.

01:01:49.000 So there are a million things, on top of the fact Does anyone in this room not think that Joe Biden is mentally compromised?

01:01:56.000 Or anyone watching this?

01:01:57.000 Compromised?

01:01:57.000 That's putting it lightly.

01:01:58.000 I was trying to be nice.

01:02:00.000 You said you didn't want to get booted off YouTube tonight.

01:02:02.000 You're being very nice to Joe Biden.

01:02:03.000 Compromised.

01:02:04.000 But the point is, we all know there's something wrong with the president.

01:02:06.000 We all know that none of this is working.

01:02:09.000 As I said, that there's just lies everywhere and we just keep going with it.

01:02:13.000 Well, we don't.

01:02:14.000 Well, no, right.

01:02:15.000 The problem is the mail-in voting.

01:02:16.000 The machine, or whatever you want to say.

01:02:18.000 So, when did you realize Joe Biden was not all with it?

01:02:21.000 Was it, uh, bat-a-calf-care, nex-nal-res-cent, trin-a-na-shab-a-da-pressure, or was it, um, a-sin-a-fa-sa-va-va-fa-sa-veh?

01:02:29.000 Your pronunciations are pretty solid on those things, because those are not easy words to, you know, intentionally.

01:02:34.000 Trin-a-na-shab-a-da-pressure. 0.89

01:02:36.000 I sat and listened to that to try and really get—oh, and now he's got Ra-la-la-land.

01:02:41.000 You saw that one, right?

01:02:42.000 That was just a couple of days ago.

01:02:43.000 Yeah.

01:02:43.000 Rallalala.

01:02:44.000 Rule of the land.

01:02:45.000 He's trying to say perhaps I'm not here to translate Biden.

01:02:48.000 True international.

01:02:49.000 He's got two words.

01:02:50.000 America is back.

01:02:51.000 Everything with made in America.

01:02:54.000 I got two words.

01:02:55.000 Well, that's what it was made in America.

01:02:57.000 This matters.

01:02:57.000 You hear him say that a lot and this matters.

01:02:59.000 But what we, what we just witnessed, I don't see Republicans winning ever again.

01:03:04.000 I talked about this specifically in my earlier video today.

01:03:08.000 Now you could criticize Donald Trump since his main issue for this midterm was talking about the 2020 election.

01:03:14.000 You could criticize him from doing fundraisers for masters and receiving $99 out of $100 and giving only $1 to masters.

01:03:19.000 That was You know, that was outpaid for by his opponent, $80 million to $12 million.

01:03:29.000 You could criticize him on that, but when you have the ballot harvesting, when you have the mail-in ballots, additionally, when you have big tech censorship, when you have yellow bellies and neoconservatives in the Republican Party, I don't see them winning ever again in the near future.

01:03:41.000 What else could help them win?

01:03:43.000 They have no institutional power to change any of this.

01:03:46.000 They won't change anything, and even if they did, I wouldn't even have any, you know, optimism that they would.

01:03:52.000 So I think you're making my earlier argument, which is sort of you strengthen the red states and you bring in all the good people from the blue states.

01:03:59.000 You let them drain them.

01:04:00.000 You, yeah, you let the blue states crumble under the weight of their own bullshit and you strengthen, you bring all of the productive people, you bring all of the productive companies, you hire based on skilled instead of equity, you do all of it right. 0.96

01:04:15.000 And then you save certain places and then. 0.91

01:04:18.000 You just kind of go, man, it was beautiful in the 80s and the 90s, but we couldn't hold on to it.

01:04:23.000 That's a good argument, because even like 20 brilliant people can completely transform a state.

01:04:28.000 Of course.

01:04:29.000 You don't even need 20 of them.

01:04:31.000 Look what's happening in Miami right now.

01:04:32.000 They took all of the worthwhile talent from Silicon Valley.

01:04:35.000 They didn't take all the social justice warriors. 0.94

01:04:37.000 They took the main people from Silicon Valley.

01:04:40.000 They brought them into Miami.

01:04:41.000 Suarez is doing an incredible job.

01:04:43.000 He literally, I mean, it was the tweet, right?

01:04:44.000 His tweet was, how can I help?

01:04:46.000 And he basically brought an entire industry there.

01:04:48.000 And Miami is exploding as opposed to imploding, which is what's happening.

01:04:52.000 Well, we chose West Virginia.

01:04:55.000 You know, I like it.

01:04:56.000 Solid!

01:04:57.000 Great!

01:04:58.000 And we've actually, we've moved employees to come out to the area.

01:05:02.000 We're expanding the operation, we're starting a couple new businesses, and we're going to continue to expand our West Virginia operation.

01:05:07.000 The cities here are very small, but it's surrounded by, it's really interesting.

01:05:13.000 We're only a couple, we're three hours from Pittsburgh, we're three hours from Philadelphia, we're an hour from D.C., an hour from Baltimore, we're two and a half hours from Richmond, We have all these major urban centers all around us, but we're in a red state with a lot more freedom.

01:05:26.000 It's not perfect.

01:05:27.000 West Virginia's got issues, but we're gonna fix them.

01:05:29.000 We're gonna fix them.

01:05:30.000 There's a big opportunity here in the land being cheap.

01:05:32.000 There's airports nearby.

01:05:34.000 They have infrastructure.

01:05:35.000 Central West Virginia's another story, but I think we can do a lot of good here.

01:05:38.000 And I came down here because, you know, a friend recommended coming down here.

01:05:44.000 And now I see great opportunity, and I've been looking at the local representatives and the congressional reps, and they're based.

01:05:54.000 They're like Ron Paul-type politicians, and I'm like, this is a good opportunity.

01:05:59.000 I look at Florida, and it's incredible.

01:06:01.000 But that weather, man.

01:06:03.000 That's what you said to me before.

01:06:04.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:06:06.000 The weather is freaking awesome.

01:06:08.000 I live in Miami.

01:06:09.000 I was there all summer.

01:06:10.000 Yes, it's humid.

01:06:12.000 It is.

01:06:13.000 And you know what?

01:06:14.000 You're not gonna believe this.

01:06:15.000 Yes, there's a thing called an air conditioner and it conditions the air.

01:06:19.000 And when you're inside the school, it's the B. You guys are running AC in here right now.

01:06:24.000 It's like 20 degrees outside and you got AC going on in here right now.

01:06:28.000 That was not my fault.

01:06:31.000 So, someone turned the AC on.

01:06:33.000 I have no idea why.

01:06:34.000 It's 40 degrees outside.

01:06:34.000 Tim's gonna go through a transformation where he removes the beanie and goes to Florida.

01:06:38.000 See, I lived in Miami.

01:06:40.000 Oh, wait a minute.

01:06:41.000 This is a beanie issue with you.

01:06:42.000 That's what this is.

01:06:44.000 I lived in Miami, and the issue is when there's two months out of the year you can skate, and it's January and February.

01:06:53.000 I'm telling you, I just was in Florida this morning in Miami.

01:06:56.000 It was about 72, absolutely beautiful.

01:07:00.000 The iguanas around.

01:07:01.000 Okay, fine.

01:07:01.000 November, December, January, February.

01:07:02.000 No, this is a beanie issue.

01:07:04.000 It is.

01:07:04.000 You don't want to be the guy in the sweaty beanie.

01:07:07.000 Oh, there's the sweaty beanie guy.

01:07:08.000 That's not true because I'm always the sweaty beanie guy.

01:07:10.000 No, but you're obviously sweating a lot less here.

01:07:12.000 You don't want to be August sweaty beanie Tim and people wandering around.

01:07:16.000 Have you experienced Chicago summer, my friend?

01:07:19.000 I've been to Chicago in the summer.

01:07:20.000 I've been to Wrigley in the summer.

01:07:21.000 It is absolutely not the issue because I actually use the beanies as sweat rags and I strain them out as I'm skating.

01:07:27.000 And I'm not exaggerating.

01:07:28.000 Anybody who watches me skate knows that.

01:07:29.000 It's black then because you always wear black and you feel like you'd be very out of place there. 0.92

01:07:33.000 It's very hip.

01:07:34.000 If you watched the CastleCastle vlog, you'd see me wearing a light blue helmet and a white shirt while I'm skating.

01:07:42.000 Oh, so it is going to happen, you're telling me.

01:07:44.000 No, no, no, no.

01:07:45.000 You've got a sweat rag on your head.

01:07:47.000 You've got your neon colored clothes.

01:07:49.000 It always looks slow when you're watching a transformation up close.

01:07:52.000 Getting ready.

01:07:53.000 No, Florida is expensive.

01:07:55.000 That's the real issue.

01:07:56.000 It is expensive.

01:07:57.000 They have to work on that.

01:08:00.000 I looked at Florida and it's expensive.

01:08:02.000 And West Virginia was way more land, way cheaper, way more freedom.

01:08:06.000 We can shoot guns.

01:08:07.000 Florida's definitely got places you can do it.

01:08:09.000 You could go down to Homestead.

01:08:10.000 That's where I lived.

01:08:11.000 Oh, is that right?

01:08:12.000 I mean, there's land and there's guns and that's where I go shooting.

01:08:15.000 I lived just north of Homestead.

01:08:19.000 And what was the street number?

01:08:21.000 I don't know.

01:08:22.000 The Redlands.

01:08:22.000 Yeah, Redlands.

01:08:23.000 Yeah, I lived over there for a year.

01:08:25.000 We had a five-acre property, we had chickens, and it was beautiful during the thunderstorms, man.

01:08:29.000 It's really, really amazing.

01:08:30.000 The thunderstorms roll in five times a week, and then we're just sitting watching the trees.

01:08:35.000 So now you're telling me how great the weather is.

01:08:36.000 You see what we did here, Temple?

01:08:38.000 We had so many coconuts.

01:08:39.000 It was insane how many coconuts we had.

01:08:41.000 We had too many coconuts! 0.53

01:08:43.000 So you have coconuts, you have the storms that you're happy about.

01:08:47.000 You know, I'll tell you, the weather is not really that relevant compared to the good laws, especially, you know, I talked to everybody here, I said, if Rhonda Sanders really gets this law passed on social media protections, we relocate in an instant.

01:08:58.000 In an instant.

01:08:59.000 Listen, I don't want to speak out of turn here.

01:09:01.000 I just know they're working on a million things.

01:09:03.000 They're working on ESG stuff.

01:09:04.000 They are doing everything we're asking.

01:09:07.000 So for all of these people out there, as I tweeted this morning, if you think that Ron DeSantis is part of the machine, and he's just one of the generic ones, and he's just a Romney or something like that, it's like, man, he's done everything you've asked.

01:09:21.000 He's crushing in elections.

01:09:24.000 There will never be Somebody good enough for you, if that's your take on him.

01:09:27.000 That's the crazy thing.

01:09:29.000 You tweeted something that I thought was really good.

01:09:30.000 You said, Ron DeSantis is doing everything we're asking for, and he's winning, and people are accusing him.

01:09:36.000 This proves that he's bad!

01:09:40.000 Because people have been so beaten into submission that when the good thing happens, they think it must be transitory, something like that.

01:09:47.000 But it doesn't have to be.

01:09:48.000 It doesn't have to be if we then go and start building the proper institutions, which is exactly what he did.

01:09:53.000 He cleaned up voting knowing that he's not going to be around forever.

01:09:57.000 I'm still skeptical of DeSantis, especially with him not being able to pass constitutional carry in Florida.

01:10:03.000 But at the same time... Well, they just got a supermajority now.

01:10:05.000 Which if he does, I mean all out respects if he does push this through, but he does go against the trans agenda. 0.55

01:10:13.000 He shipped illegal migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

01:10:17.000 He's fighting fiercely against the ESG social credit score.

01:10:23.000 How can you call them establishment?

01:10:24.000 It's just crazy.

01:10:25.000 And then Florida was one of the few states that survived the whole weight of all the lockdowns, of all the restrictions.

01:10:32.000 They were the number one state that was attacked for allegedly killing people by allowing them to be free, and they stood up against it, and he stood up against Fauci more than anyone else.

01:10:40.000 And AOC went to vacation in Florida with no mask.

01:10:44.000 You gotta change his wardrobe.

01:10:45.000 It's the suit makes people think he's establishment.

01:10:47.000 Being in a hot Florida sun in a suit.

01:10:49.000 Do you think it's maybe that a certain set of people just use the phrase establishment to mean just sort of anything that's like somewhat normal?

01:10:57.000 You know what I mean?

01:10:58.000 He's got people like Ken Griffin, you know, who's come out supporting him.

01:11:01.000 Ken Griffin was the money guy.

01:11:02.000 Citadel guy.

01:11:03.000 Establishment funding.

01:11:05.000 But my attitude is... I mean, who did Trump have him funding?

01:11:08.000 Sheldon Adelson?

01:11:09.000 Exactly!

01:11:10.000 But my attitude is this, look, just because someone, when they went after, I think it was Rubio, they said, you're getting money from the NRA, they own you.

01:11:18.000 And he said- Oh, right, right, right, that famous moment.

01:11:20.000 Yeah, he's like, I don't get money from them because I do things for them, I get money from them because I'm doing things already and they want those things to happen.

01:11:28.000 Yeah.

01:11:28.000 That's the thing, DeSantis is winning.

01:11:30.000 I think these people are like, well, it's cult, communists, critical race theory, or DeSantis, I'll take DeSantis.

01:11:37.000 Yeah.

01:11:38.000 Look, it's very obvious that I was in, I did a show with DeSantis in Orlando.

01:11:42.000 It was the last show on my book tour in Orlando.

01:11:44.000 So we went to Disney country and everybody there.

01:11:49.000 Everybody there was psyched to see the guy excited.

01:11:52.000 We had people in the meet and greet coming up to me after that were Disney employees that could potentially lose their job if he cuts, you know, if he gets rid of these tax benefits and everything.

01:12:00.000 And they were coming up to us telling him how appreciative they were.

01:12:04.000 So everyone has moved on this stuff.

01:12:06.000 Nobody wants this.

01:12:07.000 Everyone knows that this woke nonsense in schools and talked second grade teachers talking

01:12:11.000 to kids about sex or gender identity or call.

01:12:14.000 Imagine you had a kid and you found out that the teacher, the third grade teacher, male

01:12:18.000 teacher was talking to your daughter secretly about sex and calling her a boy's name or

01:12:22.000 vice versa, any which way you want to play that.

01:12:25.000 Like we all know it's wrong, but again, we just need more adults to be like, hey, we're

01:12:29.000 here.

01:12:30.000 We forgot we were supposed to be here. 1.00

01:12:32.000 With a sick sexual fantasy for a teacher to do that to a kid. 1.00

01:12:35.000 Twisted. 1.00

01:12:37.000 Twisted.

01:12:38.000 With universal mail-in voting.

01:12:41.000 We're talking now, you know what, let me see if I can pull up a tweet from myself to show you, identify exactly what the problem is.

01:12:49.000 This image that will make all of you, it will perturb you, if nothing else.

01:12:56.000 Let me see if I can, here we go.

01:12:59.000 Check out this tweet.

01:12:59.000 Take a look at this beautiful little handlebar there in Maryland.

01:13:01.000 See that thing?

01:13:02.000 Now look at this tiny little strip.

01:13:03.000 and signs everywhere surrounded by Republican districts to the West, but still broke for

01:13:07.000 the Democrats after a week of late counting.

01:13:09.000 Elections today are all about how the votes get cast, not about how people actually feel.

01:13:13.000 Take a look at this beautiful little handlebar there in Maryland.

01:13:16.000 You see that thing?

01:13:17.000 Now, look at this tiny little strip.

01:13:19.000 You mean to tell me that this river right here, that cuts along here, that as soon as

01:13:24.000 you cross that, you immediately go like, I no longer like Donald Trump.

01:13:28.000 Now I'll vote Democrat!

01:13:29.000 I assure you that's not the case.

01:13:31.000 You drive along this, and just like the district to the north and to the south, it is MAGA country with Trump flags, Trump signs.

01:13:37.000 Now how did this district, after redistricting, which became an R-plus district, go Democrat?

01:13:43.000 It's the way the votes get cast. 0.99

01:13:45.000 Mail-in voting, favoring ignorant people who don't care. 0.97

01:13:48.000 They were projecting that this would go Republican to Neil Perrott. 0.96

01:13:51.000 And then at the last minute, they started counting new ballots, new ballots, new ballots.

01:13:54.000 Then slowly the Democrat flipped, and as soon as he did, they called it.

01:13:59.000 Nothing is going to matter moving forward, because it's exemplified right there.

01:14:04.000 So, you know, we can talk about dissent is doing everything right, but when it comes to the national level, if we have the Democrats in control of a machine, it doesn't matter if you know what's going on and vote.

01:14:15.000 They're going to find people who don't know and don't care, and they will outnumber you.

01:14:19.000 Again, that's why I'm not selling you on the federal government here, and I'm not selling you on the Grander Project.

01:14:24.000 I'm saying certain states can do it right.

01:14:26.000 And if you care about any of these things, then you have to think about your life very seriously.

01:14:30.000 And every time I tweet that out, you know, you can move, you know, well, it's not easy to move.

01:14:34.000 Yeah, it's not easy to move.

01:14:35.000 Whether you're single, whether you have a family, your grandparents, you got kids, whatever, you have no money, you're rich.

01:14:41.000 Everyone has their own considerations, but it is your life and you have some capacity to do something in your life and you got to decide what you want to do.

01:14:48.000 Could they set up state elections so that you could vote online and use like a blockchain to confirm the votes?

01:14:53.000 Could they do that without the federal government saying, no, you're not allowed?

01:14:56.000 I think that would be worse.

01:14:56.000 Could a state do it?

01:14:57.000 I suppose a state could do it.

01:14:59.000 I don't know.

01:14:59.000 You'd log in and you'd log into your account and it would say, thank you for voting.

01:15:03.000 And you go, I didn't vote though.

01:15:04.000 And they would say, it's on the blockchain.

01:15:05.000 You can't change it.

01:15:06.000 And you'd be like, but, but I didn't vote.

01:15:07.000 I didn't log in.

01:15:08.000 Yeah, you should be able to confirm it.

01:15:09.000 You gotta be able to confirm your own vote.

01:15:11.000 But I feel like voting on paper, giving it to Dominion or another corporation to tally the votes in secret is like sticking your finger in a light socket over and it's like, oh, I still don't know if they cheated or they didn't cheat.

01:15:22.000 Paper ballots.

01:15:22.000 You need to know.

01:15:23.000 You need to verify.

01:15:24.000 Yeah.

01:15:24.000 Even that!

01:15:25.000 Who's counting it?

01:15:26.000 It's unverifiable.

01:15:27.000 I want a verified election.

01:15:28.000 What do you mean it's unverifiable?

01:15:30.000 Someone takes it and says, thank you, we're going to count this honestly.

01:15:32.000 They go to someone else and they're like, yeah, we counted it honestly.

01:15:34.000 That's right.

01:15:34.000 You get an Independent, a Democrat, a Republican, and whichever other party's like Libertarian, and they all watch the count.

01:15:39.000 So I don't want four people to decide to verify for me.

01:15:42.000 I want to verify my own vote.

01:15:44.000 I don't need other people there doing it for me.

01:15:46.000 Well, in Florida, you could verify your vote, that you voted online.

01:15:49.000 You get a receipt, I did at least, and it's like, oh, here's where you voted, here's who you voted for.

01:15:53.000 The count should be happening by a computer in public.

01:15:55.000 I think we should follow what Florida did.

01:15:57.000 I think Florida made a lot of mistakes, especially in 2000, but I think they shaped up.

01:16:00.000 They have 99% of the vote counted by midnight.

01:16:06.000 That's impressive.

01:16:06.000 That's something that we should strive to, of course, achieve as well.

01:16:09.000 That's something that I think should be universally put out.

01:16:12.000 I think it was Stalin that said, it doesn't matter who votes, but it's who counts.

01:16:16.000 Biden.

01:16:16.000 Oh, Biden said that?

01:16:17.000 No, no, no, I think it was Stalin first, and then Biden said it.

01:16:20.000 No, I know, yeah, but Biden did say it.

01:16:21.000 So, and I fully agree with that.

01:16:22.000 If other people are counting your vote for you, then that's a problem.

01:16:25.000 You should be, you should be, you know.

01:16:27.000 Here's the answer.

01:16:29.000 You know, shows like this are fantastic.

01:16:31.000 Shows like yours and Luke's.

01:16:34.000 But we're preaching to the choir.

01:16:37.000 I think culture is everything.

01:16:40.000 So almost all this, I think basically everything we've invested in at TimCast from all of you becoming members at TimCast.com has been cultural.

01:16:49.000 It doesn't mean we're gonna be Disney, but we're certainly gonna try and have cultural influence making music, we're working on a video game, we're working on a show, we're working on now movies.

01:16:58.000 Because you need to instill your values in cultural things.

01:17:02.000 There needs to be an industry where artists can thrive.

01:17:04.000 There needs to be an opportunity for that guy who works for Disney to say, you know what?

01:17:07.000 I'm not making this woke movie.

01:17:09.000 I'll go work for someone else.

01:17:10.000 Right now, there isn't.

01:17:11.000 Every company is doing the ESGBS.

01:17:14.000 So, these people are like, if I speak up, I'll lose my job.

01:17:17.000 Okay, well, we need to build that out.

01:17:19.000 The Daily Wire's got an apparatus for it.

01:17:21.000 We're slowly expanding that.

01:17:23.000 You just need to keep doing it.

01:17:24.000 And a society will grow great when men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit beneath.

01:17:31.000 So maybe in 50 years, maybe in 100 years, I'll long be dead, and there'll be some weird Timcast company that's got libertarian freedom-loving liberal values or whatever, and it supplants or displaces the weird woke ESG stuff.

01:17:44.000 I agree. We inspire young people to build it. They will come something like that. Like,

01:17:49.000 you may as well try to do something on your own to defeat this thing rather than saying,

01:17:53.000 Oh my God, if I only had that politician, there are going to be a couple transformational ones. 0.78

01:17:57.000 Obviously, I feel that about the Santas, but let's just make it let's let's, uh,

01:18:02.000 hire a bunch of young Tick Tock influencers to just talk about how, how uncool is to vote Democrat.

01:18:08.000 They won't vote Republican. 0.94

01:18:10.000 They'll just say voting for Democrats is so lame, you're so lame, I can't believe you would do that. 0.98

01:18:15.000 You see the thing the other day where Biden brought the TikTokers into the Oval Office, and then they staged this idiotic Q&A, and one of the questions is, should Elon Musk be looked at by the federal government? 1.00

01:18:26.000 And then he fumbled, of course, through the answer, but it's like, that's what I mean about everything's fake, it's all BS, we can see it, we've looked behind the curtain, we've seen the wizard, we know he ain't the all-powerful Oz, but what do we do about it?

01:18:39.000 Well, one thing we can do is, and I strongly encourage Rhonda Sanders to begin immediately, is to start building a dike system outside of Florida and then draining the water to expand the territory of Florida to accommodate more. 1.00

01:18:53.000 And then, you know, I've- Breathing room, breathing room.

01:18:56.000 Living in Miami, I mean, the water's only three feet deep, like 10 miles outside or like whatever.

01:19:01.000 I think it's like 11 miles south of Miami.

01:19:04.000 The water is like, you could stand there on the rocks.

01:19:06.000 It's crazy.

01:19:07.000 They have Stiltsville where they built those buildings on stilts where it was like international waters or whatever.

01:19:12.000 I've been there.

01:19:13.000 It's crazy.

01:19:14.000 So you want to literally, like, expand the land of Florida?

01:19:18.000 Yeah.

01:19:18.000 I don't think we need it yet, but we could start... I think his next thing, like, it is infrastructure projects.

01:19:22.000 Let's build more housing so that the competition that you were talking about earlier about the house prices... You know, here's a question.

01:19:28.000 If Ron DeSantis, and this is totally hypothetical, if he brought in, like, if he started actually bringing in earth mass and dumping it alongside the coast of Florida, expanding.

01:19:42.000 Would the international waters go out with it, or how would that work?

01:19:45.000 That is a good question.

01:19:46.000 I'm not a maritime lawyer.

01:19:48.000 I'll have to talk to my maritime lawyer.

01:19:50.000 He's on retainer.

01:19:51.000 Yeah, it's like, well, you know, the water extends like 11 miles to like international waters, but, you know, we added a couple more miles of dirt.

01:19:59.000 Well, most Florida is swamp anyway.

01:20:01.000 They have pumps in Miami to get the water out.

01:20:03.000 That's crazy.

01:20:04.000 And it gets flooded a lot, so, I mean, it's already that.

01:20:07.000 But, you know, we get flooded, but Hurricane Ian hit basically a Category 5, as he described it, a hundred-year biblical storm.

01:20:14.000 I met a guy at the election night, at the DeSantis event at the election night.

01:20:19.000 It was a contractor in South Florida.

01:20:21.000 Yeah, it was amazing.

01:20:22.000 Let's talk about solutions in the cultural issues.

01:20:23.000 Belkosway and he said that this thing would have taken two years in any other

01:20:28.000 state because of all of the red tape. It took them two weeks.

01:20:33.000 Let's talk about solutions in the cultural issues. So before the

01:20:39.000 show we mentioned that Ian went on a tirade screaming and slamming the

01:20:44.000 table about how Dave Rubin was a sellout and if he ever got the chance to see him

01:20:49.000 in person he's held a very sadly when he was elected razor blades

01:20:52.000 That's why I came here today.

01:20:55.000 Let me set this up.

01:20:58.000 We're dealing with censorship.

01:21:00.000 Elon Musk buying Twitter, and all of a sudden the game has changed.

01:21:04.000 And a lot of this bodes very, very well for those who care about freedom.

01:21:10.000 It seems like we're starting to make tremendous gains in the culture wars, but with the Daily Wire success, with Elon Musk buying Twitter, they can only hold on for so long with universal mail-in voting.

01:21:20.000 Within this, there's Rumble, which we use Rumble infrastructure for timcast.com, like the whole website.

01:21:26.000 Like literally, the website itself.

01:21:27.000 Yeah.

01:21:28.000 The video player itself.

01:21:29.000 And then we use Parallel Economy for our memberships, which is Dan Bongino with, I believe, Rumble's invested in that as well.

01:21:34.000 I think so.

01:21:35.000 So we want to build this Parallel Economy.

01:21:37.000 You launched Locals.

01:21:38.000 Yeah.

01:21:39.000 And then you sold to Rumble.

01:21:41.000 Yeah.

01:21:41.000 And then we had a discussion about that.

01:21:43.000 Ian said you were selling out, and I don't remember the entirety of the details, but this is what brings us to where we're here now.

01:21:51.000 Dave's in the room, and Ian is just fuming and seeing red.

01:21:55.000 I'm throwing the knife in the middle of the table.

01:21:56.000 There's just steam coming off my shoulders.

01:21:58.000 I'm sweating.

01:21:59.000 It transitions brilliantly because we're talking about culture.

01:22:01.000 We need to build culture.

01:22:02.000 We need to make movies.

01:22:02.000 We need to get people on our side vibrationally.

01:22:05.000 They want people to walk into a room and people to be like, yes, whatever you say.

01:22:08.000 It's a little cult-y, but you need that to change politics.

01:22:11.000 I think you need control of culture, but you also need control of technology.

01:22:14.000 Because if you control the technology, no matter how much good movies people are trying to put out there, you can just turn them off.

01:22:20.000 So that kind of brings me to Locals, which you were running at the time.

01:22:24.000 So you started Locals.

01:22:25.000 I had two tiers of issues when you sold it, I think, is my problem.

01:22:28.000 And the first one was a bit more personal.

01:22:30.000 The other one's more, I guess, idealistic, is that you said, come to Locals, I'll make sure you never get banned, and then sold the company.

01:22:38.000 I was like, well, now he can't make sure you never get banned because he sold out.

01:22:43.000 I use the phrase sold out to Rumble, whatever, he sold the company.

01:22:46.000 Yeah.

01:22:47.000 The other one is that I'm just concerned with corporate conglomeration and proprietary software, because if Chris gets killed, you know, Chris Pavlovsky, something happens to him, and then someone else just owns everything, all the code.

01:22:59.000 So I think that we need to free the software code.

01:23:01.000 So I get what you're saying.

01:23:03.000 That's a separate issue, but yeah.

01:23:04.000 But the one issue that we brought up that I thought was really important was they're doing the SPAC deal, which means they're going to go public.

01:23:12.000 Well, they're through it now.

01:23:13.000 Right.

01:23:13.000 Oh, you mean back then when you were having the discussion.

01:23:15.000 Yeah.

01:23:15.000 So that means BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard will buy chunks of this company and then it will be absorbed into that machine.

01:23:22.000 So let's just do one thing at a time here.

01:23:24.000 So first off, on the why, so in essence, we merged.

01:23:28.000 The company's basically merged.

01:23:29.000 I will tell you 100%, honestly, I sold all for stock because I believe in it.

01:23:35.000 I did not take any cash in the deal.

01:23:38.000 I still consult for them.

01:23:39.000 That's the extent of what I do with the company.

01:23:41.000 But I am telling you, without question, there has never been a tech company built in any sense that we know anything of that free speech is baked into the ethos of this company.

01:23:54.000 When I started Locals, our idea was, you know, we wanted to basically personalize a Patreon for people so that you'd have an app that would give you direct contact with your audience and you could build a business on your own.

01:24:03.000 We sort of viewed it as like we're building you a house and what you do in your house is up to you.

01:24:07.000 That's how we dealt with free speech.

01:24:09.000 And we never had any problems about it.

01:24:10.000 Also because you have a paywall, which eliminates 99.9% of all bad behavior.

01:24:15.000 So we had, I felt we had a bunch of good systems in place to clean it up in a really nice way.

01:24:21.000 And I think, and then it became very successful and we got great investors and all of those things.

01:24:25.000 I had a talk with, we had a couple offers to buy the company.

01:24:28.000 I had an offer for massive cash, life-changing cash offer.

01:24:32.000 I had the offer in hand.

01:24:34.000 Can you say it from home?

01:24:35.000 No.

01:24:36.000 But I had the offer in hand.

01:24:37.000 Good people or bad people?

01:24:39.000 Good.

01:24:39.000 Good, actually.

01:24:42.000 And I went to Peter Thiel for advice, purely for advice.

01:24:46.000 And I said, here's the offer.

01:24:48.000 What do you think I should do with this thing?

01:24:50.000 And he said, and I said, Peter, I know this number that I'm showing you is not a lot to you.

01:24:54.000 He's got billions and billions of dollars.

01:24:55.000 But I was like, but it is life changing for me and my brother-in-law who's running, who's the CEO, who's running the tech, changed my sister's life, changed my family's life right there.

01:25:04.000 And Peter said, look, I'm looking at your numbers.

01:25:06.000 You guys are doing some great things here.

01:25:08.000 He said, all you need is distribution.

01:25:10.000 If you can figure out what your distribution model is, you have something amazing.

01:25:14.000 And then I think it was literally like two weeks later.

01:25:17.000 We got a call from Chris.

01:25:18.000 Can you guys meet me in Miami for lunch?

01:25:21.000 And we were thinking, okay, we can partner up with them somehow.

01:25:23.000 We'll figure out something.

01:25:24.000 And Chris within, I think the water wasn't even poured.

01:25:27.000 I think the woman was coming over with the water and he was like, let's figure out how to merge and do this thing together.

01:25:32.000 I'm telling you, everyone on the board at Rumble is in this thing for free speech, for every issue we've discussed here.

01:25:39.000 Can BlackRock and other companies figure out ways to buy parts?

01:25:42.000 Of course they can.

01:25:43.000 Of course they can.

01:25:44.000 I'm not going to tell you that they can't.

01:25:45.000 Chris, I don't know what the numbers are, so don't quote me on this exactly.

01:25:48.000 Chris controls something like 74% of the company right now.

01:25:52.000 I think that's, it's something like that.

01:25:55.000 And he is an absolute all-star on all of these issues.

01:25:58.000 So if this type of deal I don't mean this to you specifically.

01:26:02.000 If this type of deal is not good enough for someone, like here, you know me, right?

01:26:06.000 Like I started in this thing fighting tech censorship, all of the nonsense that New York Times was calling us all right and all these things.

01:26:12.000 I started this company for the right reasons.

01:26:14.000 We found another company that's in it for the right reasons.

01:26:17.000 At some point, it's like you got to do deals to grow and be bigger and mature these things and scale them and all of those things.

01:26:26.000 Are we a perfectly decentralized system?

01:26:28.000 We are not.

01:26:29.000 Are we working on some things, including decentralized payments and subscriptions?

01:26:33.000 We absolutely are.

01:26:35.000 That's the key.

01:26:36.000 The issue, for one, all of it net positive.

01:26:39.000 All of it net positive across the board.

01:26:41.000 And that's why we use Rumble infrastructure for everything, plus parallel economy. 0.99

01:26:43.000 Also, you can't be Google alone.

01:26:45.000 Let me just throw one other thing in.

01:26:46.000 For me, I was running a company that was a side job that I was only losing money on, right?

01:26:50.000 Because I'm putting time and resources into it.

01:26:53.000 But I didn't mind that.

01:26:54.000 I actually loved building it.

01:26:56.000 But like, okay, so now Dave is somehow just through locals.

01:26:59.000 I honestly think we can beat Google.

01:27:01.000 I really believe that.

01:27:02.000 So here's the trajectory I see.

01:27:05.000 Right now, Rumble is operating off of what I assume is like SPAC money or investor cash.

01:27:11.000 Well, SPAC is closed and now it's fully public and traded on NASDAQ and everything.

01:27:15.000 So they have the money from the pipe and all that.

01:27:17.000 So there's a lot of cash there.

01:27:19.000 So the profit revenue generation for Rumble is substantially less than their costs.

01:27:25.000 Their liabilities exceed their assets at this point, I would imagine.

01:27:28.000 At a certain point, there's going to be an obligation to the shareholders to generate revenue.

01:27:34.000 Like Twitter, what I see happening is they eventually say, how do we attract advertisers?

01:27:39.000 That's how we have to make money on this one, or subscriptions.

01:27:42.000 You're then going to run into one of two problems.

01:27:44.000 Advertisers are going to say, we will not advertise on this content because it offends our delicate ESG sensibilities.

01:27:49.000 You get no money from us.

01:27:50.000 That's less of a problem with Rumble because of Rumble's founding.

01:27:54.000 Whereas Twitter was like, hey, our investors want money.

01:27:57.000 We're going to go for it.

01:27:57.000 We're going to appease.

01:27:59.000 The next issue is the financial services, which is why Parallel economy is so important and I think rumble sees

01:28:04.000 this well dan who started parallel economy is also a founder of rumble

01:28:09.000 Exactly these things are connected like when I tell you that the people involved in these things

01:28:14.000 When I have been to any meeting with these people when I when we were trying to figure out the merger

01:28:19.000 I never heard anyone say anything related to speech in any way that would have made any of it

01:28:24.000 It doesn't mean those things can't change.

01:28:26.000 Twitter used to be the free speech party until their obligation to their investors.

01:28:31.000 And then the advertisers said, oh yeah, we'll advertise if you ban that guy.

01:28:35.000 With Patreon, they banned Robert Spencer because it was reported that I think MasterCard ordered them to do it.

01:28:42.000 And the response from the CEO of Patreon was, if we don't ban this one guy, 10,000 people lose their livelihood.

01:28:49.000 And my response was, let the hundred million fans of those 10,000 people send an angry letter to MasterCard when that happens.

01:28:59.000 Well, you know I had him on my show, and he was lying to my face.

01:29:01.000 It was pretty obvious.

01:29:02.000 No, exactly.

01:29:03.000 Jack Conte?

01:29:05.000 I think these are potential pitfalls to going public, getting investor money.

01:29:09.000 Eventually, the bill comes due, and Rumble's going to have an obligation to public shareholders as to how they generate revenue and what that means.

01:29:18.000 It's totally legit.

01:29:19.000 I think another piece of that that I think makes it a little bit easier for somebody like you to understand, or not to understand, but to appreciate, would be that the advertising game really is changing right now.

01:29:32.000 The cancel thing, it's not that it's gone.

01:29:34.000 But I think the days of, oh, Ben Shapiro said something about abortion, now the soothe app is not going to, like, it just doesn't work anymore.

01:29:42.000 We are getting to the other side of it.

01:29:44.000 The Chappelle thing that we started with is evidence that we're getting to the other side of it. 0.77

01:29:48.000 There also are all sorts of companies now, because of what the woke have done, that companies are now being built across all sorts of industries.

01:29:57.000 to make hats and do all the culture stuff you're talking about, whatever it might be, whatever product.

01:30:01.000 So there's a whole new industry being built that will support this sort of thing that did not exist five years ago.

01:30:07.000 That's just a reality.

01:30:08.000 But yes, some of this stuff has to be played out.

01:30:10.000 And yes, when you're a public company, you have different obligations than a purely private company.

01:30:14.000 Elon owns this thing now.

01:30:17.000 He's going to have a lot of problems when he realizes how much money it's losing every day.

01:30:20.000 Can I just ask you one question?

01:30:21.000 Because you said locals had the ethos and the belief system of freedom of speech.

01:30:25.000 What made you believe that Rumble was going to continue that?

01:30:28.000 Because you made a statement saying, believe me, these guys are standing behind it.

01:30:31.000 What made you believe that these guys were going to follow those same ethos as you had with Locals? 0.80

01:30:38.000 So first off, I assume like all of you guys, but especially you Tim, when you've done what we do for long enough, The idea that I would cross my audience is so... Not say something they don't like, but do something so fundamentally against what I have put out there and what I believe in.

01:30:55.000 I physically would not be able to do it.

01:30:58.000 So I knew that I couldn't.

01:31:00.000 I couldn't just sell it and be like, all right, they're going to screw all you guys.

01:31:03.000 And I wouldn't do that.

01:31:04.000 It's against who I am.

01:31:06.000 But that's not the answer you're looking for.

01:31:08.000 Every meeting that we had with Chris, All he kept talking about was the free and open internet.

01:31:14.000 That was it.

01:31:15.000 Every time we would get into more nitty-gritty stuff, he would punt some of that to the tech guys because what he wanted to talk about was saving the internet.

01:31:22.000 This is a guy who's from Toronto, Canada, dealing with all, I mean, if you think about everything

01:31:26.000 that Canadians have dealt with in the last two years, COVID and how could we help the truckers?

01:31:31.000 Like we were doing all sorts of stuff.

01:31:34.000 You know, like we, every single person, the board now, I know the board, like these people are in it

01:31:39.000 for the right reasons.

01:31:40.000 It is not the perfect force field for some of the reasons that you mentioned,

01:31:45.000 but it's pretty damn good.

01:31:47.000 Rumble also has a lawsuit right now against Google that's gonna you know that we won discovery on

01:31:51.000 So rumble is going to get access basically to the Google algorithm unless Google unless Google preemptively you can

01:31:58.000 Google you can Google it It no no no

01:32:07.000 Don't even do that.

01:32:08.000 That goes bad.

01:32:08.000 They work with George Soros when it comes to disinformation and all that.

01:32:12.000 But was there any kind of guarantees in a contract saying, hey, this is how we run locals.

01:32:17.000 We want you to run locals this way as well.

01:32:19.000 We want to guarantee that you will do it this way.

01:32:21.000 Or was it just, I met them.

01:32:23.000 I like them.

01:32:24.000 This is what I want.

01:32:26.000 I can't speak to anything that was in the contract.

01:32:28.000 Genuinely, I don't know and I don't even know if I would be allowed to say it if I did, but I honestly don't know.

01:32:36.000 I can tell you that my brother-in-law, who is running the company still, he is the CEO of Locals still.

01:32:42.000 He has run this thing with all of the same ethos and passions that we all have.

01:32:48.000 He's running the Locals end of it.

01:32:49.000 Chris is running the Rumble end of it.

01:32:52.000 Yeah, we're in this fight for the right reasons, and we have the right people for the right reasons.

01:32:57.000 Look, who else were the big money backers of this thing?

01:32:59.000 I mean, Thiel put in a lot of money.

01:33:02.000 I have no issues with him, I like him a lot, but he's on our side in the libertarian sense of this stuff.

01:33:08.000 Let me ask you one quick question before we go to Super Chats.

01:33:11.000 What's Peter Thiel's net worth?

01:33:12.000 It's like $2 billion?

01:33:15.000 I kind of feel like he could snap his fingers and win the culture war, and I wonder why, you know, technology is not the solution to this.

01:33:25.000 I think it is.

01:33:26.000 I think it is.

01:33:26.000 I think if you free the software code and create a decentralized network, it will not inspire young people to stand up for values.

01:33:32.000 It will give people a chance to see my movie.

01:33:35.000 I think I might have a good answer for you.

01:33:37.000 So is your proposition that he should just say, here's a billion dollars to the creators of the world and go create?

01:33:44.000 Not necessarily.

01:33:45.000 I think he should indirectly have a production house that produces movies and shows, comics, cartoons, and video games, because this is what inspires young people and drives culture.

01:33:57.000 The stories that kids hear growing up.

01:34:00.000 Influence is how they decide to live their lives and what they value.

01:34:03.000 So I do know that he was all about the un-college thing.

01:34:06.000 I remember when he did that with... To be in the Teal Fellowship, you have to not have gone to college.

01:34:10.000 And that's brilliant.

01:34:12.000 So I'm not saying he's doing nothing, but I'm wondering, is it just that he's got his focus and he's doing things we don't know about?

01:34:18.000 Um, I can't speak for him.

01:34:20.000 I know I can tell you that at the height of the IDW thing, when that thing was really blowing up with Jordan and Ben and me and Rogan and whoever, there were some discussions around it.

01:34:29.000 It was getting very complex because of egos and different business models and all of those things.

01:34:36.000 Yeah, I can't speak for him.

01:34:38.000 Honestly, I don't know.

01:34:39.000 It's video games.

01:34:41.000 Yeah.

01:34:42.000 You make a video game, a AAA game.

01:34:44.000 I know it's expensive.

01:34:45.000 We're talking tens of millions of dollars.

01:34:46.000 Yeah.

01:34:46.000 I wonder if, you know, what do you do with billions of dollars?

01:34:51.000 I know that he's invested in winning for Values of Liberty.

01:34:54.000 Yeah.

01:34:54.000 But I wonder if it's just not within his frame of mind to see the world this way.

01:34:59.000 That's interesting.

01:35:00.000 Look, I mean, keep in mind, this was the co-founder of PayPal with Elon.

01:35:04.000 So they obviously, they have strengths that worked well together, and there's something that's putting that Lego piece together there.

01:35:09.000 Elon is doing, I would say, in essence, what you're asking for, right?

01:35:13.000 Because it's a culture play and a tech play.

01:35:15.000 You don't think that's... Totally, absolutely.

01:35:17.000 But look what it's doing at the cultural level.

01:35:19.000 It does have a sort of... I get it, I get it.

01:35:21.000 It's not the direct... You want the direct line to creativity or something.

01:35:24.000 This is more... It's good.

01:35:25.000 Got tech in between.

01:35:26.000 It is good.

01:35:27.000 But you look at...

01:35:31.000 Tick-tock is a big component, so tech is there.

01:35:34.000 Tick-tock is controlling what these kids can see and what they're being told is cool and what's not cool.

01:35:39.000 But it's also music being played on the streaming platforms, music videos.

01:35:44.000 Kids grow up and they want to be what is viewed as popular among their peer group.

01:35:49.000 What's being funded is these tech billionaires who have money, for obvious reasons, view the world through a technology lens and not through a cultural lens.

01:35:57.000 And Democrats have always tried to own celebrities and the arts.

01:36:01.000 And that's what inspires young people.

01:36:03.000 That's what makes them feel cool.

01:36:04.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:36:06.000 Yeah, I can't speak for him, so I don't know the answer to that.

01:36:10.000 But I do sense that it's changing.

01:36:12.000 I mean, look, again, where did we start?

01:36:14.000 We started with Chappelle, who's pretty damn red-pilled now.

01:36:18.000 So, like, the thing is happening.

01:36:19.000 The biggest podcaster in the world is Joe Rogan.

01:36:21.000 He's pretty red-pilled, like, said he would vote for DeSantis.

01:36:24.000 So the things are happening in front of our eyes.

01:36:26.000 The question is, what do you do with all of those pieces?

01:36:29.000 A few thoughts, simple and overt, is one thing that we're trying to do, and I'm not trying to suggest anyone should do anything we're doing, you know, I view the world a certain way, I'll take action the way I do.

01:36:40.000 You don't want any competition.

01:36:42.000 Oh, I'd love the competition to be fantastic.

01:36:44.000 What I don't want is to tell someone else to do something and then be wrong.

01:36:49.000 Because then they've taken a risk at my behest and screwed them.

01:36:52.000 I don't want that.

01:36:52.000 I'll take the risks on my own, you know, with what we have.

01:36:56.000 And then if we're wrong, I like the decentralization of it.

01:37:00.000 Funding more cultural commentators who push back on the machine.

01:37:04.000 The conservatives are so stodgy, you know what I mean?

01:37:06.000 You look at TPUSA, and we're friends with a lot of those people, but they're suit-wearing, stodgy, and that doesn't resonate with your average city kid or anything like that.

01:37:15.000 They're not going to grow up and be like, man, I wish I could wear a suit too and be stodgy.

01:37:19.000 They want to fit in with their peer group who dress down and don't do those things.

01:37:23.000 My idea would be, certainly if I had a billion dollars, I'd set aside a couple million to just fund TikTok, YouTube channels, comedians who are challenging the woke cancel culture, who are funny, fine talent, create a production house, create a talent agency, make shows, make movies, make content that floods the market.

01:37:45.000 And then you look at an example of a movie, The Craft.

01:37:48.000 Which the second version was super woke and insane.

01:37:51.000 Yeah, first one was good. 1.00

01:37:52.000 They have insane money to fund this ridiculous woke garbage. 0.98

01:37:55.000 And the best the right can muster up is the Daily Wire, which is having a difficult time of doing it. 0.98

01:38:00.000 The Daily Wire is putting their profits towards this project, trying really, really hard to take the cultural space.

01:38:05.000 Meanwhile, there are billionaires who have no obligation to do so.

01:38:09.000 Right.

01:38:09.000 But if they wanted to win the culture war, it could be like, I can set aside money for a lower budget, high quality cultural content to challenge the system without as much risk as say the Daily Wire could.

01:38:19.000 One last quick comment.

01:38:21.000 Teal and Musk also sold PayPal.

01:38:23.000 Now PayPal wants to fine people for disinformation.

01:38:25.000 That's why people are critical of companies selling companies, because it's like, what could happen now?

01:38:29.000 That's the larger question.

01:38:30.000 For sure.

01:38:30.000 And if you think about it, so now you have Teal doing basically, we're all agreeing, it's basically good work.

01:38:36.000 I get you want him to be more involved.

01:38:37.000 You have Musk doing his thing with Twitter.

01:38:39.000 David Sachs has been one of the most outspoken anti-Ukraine war people.

01:38:45.000 I think in the country, who is the COO of PayPal.

01:38:48.000 So these guys might be forming again in some way to do something.

01:38:52.000 Who knows?

01:38:53.000 That's what I'm getting at.

01:38:53.000 We gotta go Super Chats.

01:38:55.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.

01:39:02.000 We're gonna have a members-only uncensored show coming up at 11 p.m., which should be good fun.

01:39:07.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:39:08.000 Smash that like button.

01:39:09.000 Adam Noel says, Dave, I'm a huge fan.

01:39:11.000 Your appearance on Club Random was great.

01:39:14.000 Get Tim an introduction with Bill.

01:39:15.000 Keep up the good fight.

01:39:16.000 God bless.

01:39:17.000 I got Bill Maher to say there are conditions to which he would move to Florida and vote for DeSantis.

01:39:22.000 That's pretty solid.

01:39:23.000 But then, of course, the day before the election, he's out there saying you have to vote Democrat to save democracy.

01:39:28.000 I watched some of your talk with Bill Maher.

01:39:32.000 And were you aggressive with him?

01:39:36.000 Well, we had to figure it out.

01:39:38.000 The thing is, it was two hours.

01:39:39.000 It's the longest one he's ever done.

01:39:41.000 And for the first half hour, you could watch us both trying to like, is he trying to take me out?

01:39:45.000 Am I trying to take him out?

01:39:46.000 We're kind of dancing back and forth.

01:39:48.000 He was also asking me a lot about sex, which I did not really want to talk about.

01:39:51.000 And it felt kind of gross or whatever.

01:39:53.000 But then about a half hour and we broke through and then The one thing that they said to me before the show is they can't that the show itself cannot be mostly politics That was the way that was the way HBO signed off on it that he has to be mostly doing something else But I knew every but I did want to talk him talk to him about politics Obviously and he wanted to talk to me about certain things.

01:40:14.000 So we had to kind of get there But wait, what was your question?

01:40:18.000 Did I?

01:40:19.000 Were you aggressive?

01:40:20.000 I wouldn't say I was aggressive.

01:40:21.000 I think it was as good as it could have possibly been for the first foray into that, and I think I'm going to be on Real Time in January, and we'll hopefully keep doing that thing.

01:40:32.000 I've been asked by people that are in the circle with him or have known him if I would be interested in having him here or be interested in going on Real Time.

01:40:41.000 I would not go on Real Time.

01:40:43.000 I get it.

01:40:45.000 But it's not overly political.

01:40:46.000 It's like it's a big investment to fly to LA to do a show that's less informed than

01:40:49.000 our show is and have to desperately try to cling.

01:40:52.000 I'll just exemplify this.

01:40:55.000 When Prager went on and said there are tampons in the men's washroom and they all laughed,

01:40:59.000 it's like you want me to go into a room full of people who are less informed about the

01:41:03.000 world than I am and then I have to desperately try to explain that to them in a matter of

01:41:06.000 minutes is just a terrible investment.

01:41:08.000 Well, that's why the moment when I said to Bill, that we talked about earlier, when I said to Bill, uh, you do know that Hillary Clinton called Trump an illegitimate president, and he immediately, no, no she didn't, no she didn't.

01:41:18.000 But it was like, Bill, actually, there are tweets.

01:41:21.000 Here's the video.

01:41:21.000 We'll pull it up for you.

01:41:22.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:41:23.000 So I fully get that.

01:41:25.000 He told me I'm going to do the first protected interview, just him, you know, the one on one, so that at least we can get something done.

01:41:32.000 But, you know, it's one of those things.

01:41:33.000 I wanted to do it for so long.

01:41:35.000 And now it's like, I feel like I made my peace with it.

01:41:38.000 I had this great conversation with this guy that I admired.

01:41:40.000 Maybe we went in slightly different play you know places but we're gonna play ball together and

01:41:44.000 i'd i'd love to i'd love to have him here i think the show and i'm going

01:41:47.000 five hours because what's gonna happen is uh... i love using hunter avalon

01:41:51.000 as an example of this uh... sorry hunter

01:41:53.000 but uh... he was this conservative who then became liberal and if you've ever

01:41:56.000 heard of them the name sounds really but a conservative who became liberal

01:42:00.000 That's right.

01:42:00.000 He was an anti-SJW personality, did some interviews with some liberals, and then all of a sudden became a leftist.

01:42:05.000 And he came on this show, and it was a moment where I mentioned that Joe Biden said, quid pro quo, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion dollars.

01:42:13.000 And he went, that never happened.

01:42:14.000 And I said, yes, it did.

01:42:15.000 And I pulled the video up right away, and we played it.

01:42:17.000 And then he was like, I didn't know.

01:42:18.000 And I was like, don't come in here and tell me.

01:42:20.000 We sit here all day.

01:42:22.000 I'm certainly not right about everything.

01:42:24.000 But this is the problem.

01:42:25.000 People like Bill saying, Hillary never said that.

01:42:27.000 My response to Bill is just, Bill, have you heard of Google?

01:42:31.000 It's remarkable to me that he spends so much of his time smugly and assuredly talking about politics he never actually looks into.

01:42:37.000 It's like he has his staff right for him and then he just believes it.

01:42:41.000 So I agree with some of that criticism and I've said some of that publicly.

01:42:45.000 To his credit, what I would say is by doing this podcast, he's trying to break out of that mold a little bit.

01:42:49.000 Agreed, agreed.

01:42:49.000 I think that's what's happening.

01:42:50.000 I think he realized that maybe there really were some blind spots and some controls around real time that maybe he was starting, because the guests suck now.

01:42:59.000 If you look at that guest list every Friday, it's a collection of nobodies where it used to be all stars on there every week.

01:43:07.000 That might've been the peak of the show in a weird sense.

01:43:11.000 Yeah.

01:43:11.000 Because it was really like blowing up sort of culturally or whatever.

01:43:14.000 And that was the airlocked mainstream.

01:43:16.000 Bill.

01:43:16.000 So he was like the first victim of cancel culture.

01:43:19.000 I think in 2001, politically incorrect.

01:43:22.000 And he was talking about the war.

01:43:24.000 I don't know what exactly he said.

01:43:26.000 Yeah. 0.75

01:43:26.000 He said that you can say what you want about the hijackers, but you can't say that they were cowards. 0.75

01:43:33.000 Because they did what they want.

01:43:34.000 They did what they intended to do.

01:43:36.000 And that, and then people basically made it seem like he was saying that they were brave or something like that.

01:43:40.000 And within what a week, two weeks, the show was canceled.

01:43:43.000 I think it, I think it might've been two or three months if I'm not mistaken.

01:43:45.000 And this is before internet video.

01:43:47.000 So it was before he could just spin up a podcast.

01:43:49.000 And so he suffered through it in that.

01:43:51.000 I got to talk to him about this.

01:43:52.000 Like what was it like?

01:43:53.000 He's been like living in that system of censorship the entire time.

01:43:57.000 I remember it very well because I was doing standup at the time.

01:43:59.000 I was, I've always been a huge fan of Bill's.

01:44:01.000 I wanted to be on Politically Incorrect.

01:44:03.000 And people thought he was done.

01:44:05.000 People really did think he was done.

01:44:06.000 It was before you could do podcasts and everything, so it wasn't guaranteed that HBO had never done a talk show like that.

01:44:11.000 He looks like he could be my dad.

01:44:12.000 And it's 20 years later.

01:44:13.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:44:14.000 We gotta get him and Luke in the same room.

01:44:17.000 Let's read some more.

01:44:17.000 We got Daddy Bad Bad says, Tim Kast routinely compares the fall of Rome to what is happening in USA, but I think the disintegration of the Soviet Union would make a better predictor.

01:44:27.000 I actually, the last thing I said about it was that it may actually be the rise of the Roman Empire.

01:44:32.000 Not the fall, the crossing of the Rubicon and the creation of the empire, which resulted in 200 years of prosperity.

01:44:38.000 The fall of the Roman Republic.

01:44:39.000 Right, right.

01:44:40.000 Although the Soviet thing is interesting, because it's a bunch of oligarchs split the country apart and decided who got what waterway.

01:44:46.000 And that's the big part of the Ukraine-Russia thing now, because the oligarchs were like, we're giving the Black Sea to Ukraine.

01:44:51.000 And there's a lot of powerful oligarchs right now. 1.00

01:44:53.000 So they would want a peace, you know?

01:44:55.000 I don't know.

01:44:56.000 What do you think?

01:44:58.000 No idea.

01:44:58.000 I was trying to work.

01:45:01.000 I had some thing about build a wall and Berlin Wall came down and we should build a wall around Florida.

01:45:06.000 I kind of left the room for a minute mentally.

01:45:08.000 I was putting that all together.

01:45:11.000 All right, Josh says, what are your thoughts on Arizona's HB 2289 and the RNC completely ignoring it?

01:45:17.000 Do you know which one that is, Luke?

01:45:19.000 Nope.

01:45:20.000 Neither do I. I don't know what that one is either.

01:45:22.000 We'll read this while you do.

01:45:23.000 Stephen Steele says Oz didn't win because he wasn't MAGA enough.

01:45:27.000 Perhaps, uh, there was, uh, Kathy Barnett.

01:45:30.000 Trump could have endorsed her and she was, she's wicked smart, but he went with Oz because I guess he thought TV celebrity could play, but would play better. 0.87

01:45:36.000 I mean, the fact that Oz lost to Federman is, it's just, it doesn't matter.

01:45:41.000 How do you live that down?

01:45:41.000 It doesn't matter, right?

01:45:43.000 Who'd you lose to?

01:45:44.000 You don't want to know.

01:45:45.000 Also that Oprah who put Oz on the map in Doris Fetterman. 0.92

01:45:49.000 Oz has got it.

01:45:50.000 And I met him a few weeks ago.

01:45:51.000 He's a decent dude.

01:45:53.000 He wasn't going to be all the things Republicans wanted him to be, but he was a nice enough guy.

01:45:57.000 I got this HB 2289 in Arizona, this bill.

01:46:00.000 The overview says outlines requirements relating to appointed political party challengers for polling places.

01:46:06.000 It's a bit vague, but it's a bill.

01:46:08.000 Not sure.

01:46:08.000 Yeah.

01:46:10.000 Let's see, Balian says, bro, you think AZ is bad?

01:46:13.000 AK hadn't even gotten through the first round of Ranked Choice BS.

01:46:16.000 You keep saying RC is great, but it's not.

01:46:19.000 It incentivizes low-info people who don't do their due diligence and research the candidates.

01:46:25.000 Ranked Choice Voting.

01:46:27.000 I think there's arguments for and against it.

01:46:31.000 One argument against it is that Ranked Choice results in the status quo always winning.

01:46:36.000 Because what people want to believe, if we do ranked choice voting, everyone's gonna put Bernie Sanders for number one, and then Hillary Clinton, and Bernie wins! 0.97

01:46:46.000 And what really happens is, 10% of people put Bernie, 10% of people put Nader, 10% of people put Trump, 10% of people put John Smith, and then all of those fall back on my plan B, which is, again, just gonna be the garbage establishment candidate.

01:47:02.000 The pro argument is that Many Libertarians would say, I'm voting Libertarian, but I guess I'll take the Republican if I have no choice, and then you'd see Walker win in Georgia.

01:47:16.000 What happens in ranked choice if there's two candidates, candidate 1 and candidate 2?

01:47:20.000 50% of the people say I vote for candidate 1 with 2 as my second choice.

01:47:23.000 50% say I vote for candidate 2 with 1 as my choice.

01:47:25.000 Who wins?

01:47:27.000 You mean 50-50?

01:47:27.000 Yeah.

01:47:29.000 The same thing that happens with any tie.

01:47:30.000 It usually goes to a runoff, a special election, or... I mean, I don't think we've actually ever seen a direct tie before because it's so statistically anomalous.

01:47:39.000 It would probably be literally impossible.

01:47:41.000 Yeah, which is why these 49.7 and 49.3 are so weird.

01:47:44.000 It would have to be an even number of voters, and it would have to fall perfectly split 50-50, and then they'd probably have to do a special, I don't know, what do we do?

01:47:53.000 That's where this all ends in 2024, isn't it?

01:47:55.000 The perfectly even split pie.

01:48:00.000 That's the movie.

01:48:01.000 That is the movie.

01:48:01.000 And then we agree, we don't need a federal government, and we can rule our own lives through state and local officials.

01:48:07.000 This is interesting.

01:48:08.000 Wyatt Caldenberg says, I voted for Fetterman because he was more Trump-like than that upper-class neocon Dr. Oz elitist.

01:48:15.000 Oz kept the working class away from voting GOP. 0.99

01:48:19.000 Interesting.

01:48:20.000 I mean, look, there were Bernie voters who voted for Trump.

01:48:22.000 I would not be surprised if there were Trump voters who preferred Fetterman.

01:48:25.000 These are people who are not staunch conservatives, not diehard Trump supporters.

01:48:29.000 They were populist leftists who said, I guess Trump's better than Hillary when given an option to vote for Fetterman, even if he's struggling to speak.

01:48:35.000 They want a populist leftist over an elitist celebrity who eats crudités.

01:48:39.000 God, despite all the crime stuff and all that stuff.

01:48:42.000 All right.

01:48:43.000 I'm not saying it's everybody.

01:48:44.000 No, I get it.

01:48:45.000 There's got to be somebody.

01:48:46.000 Yeah.

01:48:48.000 Let's grab some more.

01:48:49.000 Nathan Haim says, shout out to Ian.

01:48:50.000 I always appreciate the energy and perspective you have.

01:48:53.000 Thank you, Nathan.

01:48:54.000 Thank you.

01:48:55.000 Cal Miller says, after the 2022 midterms, I think the chance of civil war has gone down.

01:48:59.000 The left is unified and the right is too divided.

01:49:01.000 I...

01:49:03.000 Completely disagree.

01:49:05.000 I think it's gone substantially up.

01:49:07.000 Because if there was this talk of this great red wave, and Trump supporters thought they had a path forward, and then this is what happened because of universal mail-in voting, I fear that, as John F. Kennedy said, those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

01:49:23.000 It doesn't mean it's always the majority or people who are right who feel that way, but if people on the right feel disenfranchised, because no matter how hard they push, they're not winning, people are going to lose their minds.

01:49:31.000 And I hope that's not the case, because if the Republicans, assuming they do take the House, they're going to get everything they could have wanted out of this.

01:49:38.000 What else could they have gotten?

01:49:39.000 I mean, a little bit more, for sure.

01:49:40.000 Winning the Senate could have put Rand Paul in a position to challenge Fauci and all that stuff.

01:49:44.000 But the House can do that.

01:49:46.000 They'll still be able to do it.

01:49:47.000 You don't need Rand Paul for that.

01:49:48.000 And then you can blame the Democrats for everything come 2024.

01:49:51.000 And if you are able to take this time to file the lawsuits to go after the universal mail-in voting and challenge all the stuff, you have a chance for 2024 to actually win.

01:49:59.000 The Democrats are already to blame for a lot of things.

01:50:02.000 Lockdowns, inflation, Ukraine, almost starting a world war with Russia. 0.83

01:50:08.000 They have enough to be blamed for already.

01:50:10.000 I don't think adding more to that is going to help.

01:50:13.000 Very, very important question.

01:50:14.000 This is very, very good.

01:50:15.000 Rhiannon Tunel, just thank you so much.

01:50:19.000 Dave, are you going to get chickens?

01:50:20.000 Buck buck.

01:50:22.000 I had chickens when I was in LA, and then my 16-year-old dog had cancer, and we were putting a lot of effort into her.

01:50:29.000 Decided to let the chickens go to some friends who were free-ranging them.

01:50:32.000 The chickens are doing all right.

01:50:33.000 We had great chicken names.

01:50:34.000 You don't have all chicken names, do you?

01:50:36.000 You named all the chickens?

01:50:37.000 They all have names.

01:50:38.000 So we named the original batch, and then the viewers of Chicken City have elected names for them.

01:50:43.000 We had Blanche Featherow.

01:50:44.000 We had Feather Locklear.

01:50:46.000 We had...

01:50:48.000 Oh, Princess Leia, because she Leia the eggs. 1.00

01:50:50.000 We had hensaki.

01:50:52.000 Oh, that's good.

01:50:52.000 And we had chuan egg.

01:50:54.000 And unfortunately, they both passed.

01:50:55.000 Yeah, well, that's gonna happen.

01:50:57.000 Where were you in L.A.

01:50:57.000 that you had chickens?

01:50:58.000 I was in Sherman Oaks in the Valley.

01:51:00.000 It was crazy hot in the backyard.

01:51:02.000 It didn't make a lot of sense.

01:51:03.000 I was mostly just keeping them cool all day long.

01:51:05.000 But anyway, now I would love to get chickens in Florida.

01:51:08.000 Yeah, do it.

01:51:09.000 And I have space to do it.

01:51:11.000 But I also have a three-month-old and a one-month-old, so I'm a little stretched.

01:51:16.000 That's true.

01:51:17.000 Dude, how's being a dad?

01:51:19.000 It's pretty good.

01:51:20.000 It's pretty good so far.

01:51:21.000 You know, there's a lot of poopin' and cryin' and screamin', and now we have kids involved, so it's a lot.

01:51:27.000 Well, there you go.

01:51:28.000 Now there's even more poopin' and cryin' and screamin'.

01:51:29.000 No, it's been really nice.

01:51:31.000 Choice Music says, To fix the vote 1.

01:51:33.000 Remove D&R 2.

01:51:34.000 List policies claimed or voted for next to candidate names 3.

01:51:38.000 Video recording of every vote required 4.

01:51:41.000 Days to vote with designated PTO by name per day It's interesting, if we record people voting, but not who they voted for, to confirm they did vote would be interesting.

01:51:52.000 Or at the very least, some record showing that they did.

01:51:56.000 I agree with removing Democrat and Republican from ballots.

01:51:58.000 I don't think they should be on it.

01:52:01.000 Yeah, I think you can argue it either way.

01:52:03.000 I tell you some extent it's like you got so many people go in there Even people that are fairly well-informed you still go in not knowing a couple things don't vote for someone you don't know I would say generally speaking you should vote for a Republican you don't know over a Democrat at least as it stands right now But here's what would happen in my opinion.

01:52:19.000 Yeah, you remove DNR.

01:52:21.000 It makes it very difficult for ballot harvesters They're gonna say vote Democrat which ones that right and they're gonna be like just all the way down the line.

01:52:27.000 Yeah, I So, but what they'll do is they'll say, anyone with a D, check the box.

01:52:32.000 And they do.

01:52:33.000 Now they're gonna go and say, vote for the Democrats.

01:52:35.000 Who's that?

01:52:36.000 Okay, you've got Steve Smith, that's the first line.

01:52:38.000 Okay, next you're gonna have, that's John Doe, much, much more difficult.

01:52:43.000 And I don't know if they're legally allowed to do that.

01:52:44.000 You might be allowed to say, hey, I think you should vote Democrat, but I don't know if they're able to tell you to dictate on the list.

01:52:49.000 You get rid of that D, makes it very difficult.

01:52:52.000 The next thing with it that I think is good is informed voters know who they're voting for.

01:52:56.000 You know Ron DeSantis.

01:52:57.000 You don't care he's a Republican.

01:52:58.000 You're going in and hitting that Ron DeSantis.

01:53:00.000 You know you want Kerry Lake, you vote Kerry Lake. 1.00

01:53:03.000 Ignorant voters will struggle, well-informed voters will succeed, and you're voting for the person, not some ideology.

01:53:09.000 So I think remove DNR from ballots right away.

01:53:12.000 Yeah, I still think there's probably some problem down ballot where even well-informed people just don't know a slew of things.

01:53:19.000 But if you're going in and being like, I know DeSantis, I don't know what that guy is, I'm gonna vote for him anyway, you deserve the leadership you get.

01:53:27.000 You should be like, I know DeSantis, I know Rubio, I don't know these other guys, I'm not gonna vote for them.

01:53:32.000 But let's put it this way, if you look at what happened in Florida, I mean, he now has a super majority, it's in part because a whole bunch of people were like, I like DeSantis and I'm voting Republican all the way down.

01:53:41.000 And it also caused Rubio to win by 15 points or something.

01:53:44.000 That's crazy too.

01:53:46.000 Rubio should not have won by double digits.

01:53:48.000 I mean, he's pretty standard stuff.

01:53:50.000 I think he might get some mojo out of Florida right now, but it's good that he won and it's good that he won big.

01:53:57.000 All right.

01:53:58.000 Quan Yuchen says, Hi Dave, you need to help Tim get on PBD podcast or get Patrick on Timcast.

01:54:03.000 Tim Pool and Patrick Bet-David are two of the best thinkers and podcasters of our time, of course.

01:54:08.000 Dave, you are too.

01:54:09.000 Yeah.

01:54:09.000 I'm not familiar.

01:54:10.000 Who's Patrick Bet-David?

01:54:11.000 He does value attainment.

01:54:12.000 He was a big, I think he was like a massive investor guy, moved his whole company down to Florida.

01:54:17.000 They're in Fort Lauderdale.

01:54:18.000 He's totally great dude.

01:54:19.000 I was on his show this week.

01:54:21.000 Yeah, happy to do it.

01:54:22.000 He's, yeah, you should do it.

01:54:24.000 He's doing like a sort of It's kind of this.

01:54:26.000 figure out how to get out of this but they wear suits. Ah, suits, suits. See, Juiced

01:54:30.000 Cyber Newtype says Florida needs to take over the rest of the US. Florida

01:54:34.000 imperialism. Has DeSantis considered forming a ground force?

01:54:41.000 Well, wasn't he gonna create the... he had his own police and people were freaking out.

01:54:45.000 But perhaps he can then send them to liberate.

01:54:49.000 To liberate, yeah.

01:54:50.000 And then we can just change the country, the entire name just becomes Florida.

01:54:53.000 Oh, so you are going down those radical paths, huh?

01:54:55.000 I would be for, how about some population trades, you know what I mean?

01:54:58.000 Just like an NBA trade before the deadline, like let's just take some sane families out of New York, some sane You know, decent people out of New York, and let's trade them for whatever's going on in Orlando with the purple-haired weirdos.

01:55:11.000 I disagree.

01:55:11.000 Let Florida man be Florida man.

01:55:13.000 We got an important one here.

01:55:15.000 James Moning says, first, genocide is a great song.

01:55:18.000 Really do appreciate it.

01:55:19.000 Says, can't wait for more.

01:55:19.000 Second, Iowa swept red.

01:55:21.000 Great state.

01:55:22.000 Third, keep an eye on the railroads.

01:55:24.000 The vote's extended to 12-4, and it doesn't look good.

01:55:27.000 If they strike, it will be bad for all.

01:55:29.000 Not just the railroad strikes, but we're hearing that travel strikes may happen too, which can be very, very bad for Christmas and New Year's.

01:55:37.000 So we know that.

01:55:39.000 I think what pilots went on strike recently.

01:55:41.000 Is that what happened, Luke?

01:55:42.000 Well, there was a conversation after a major pilots union meeting and pilots coming out saying there's a big probability that there might be boycotts this coming season.

01:55:51.000 So look out for that.

01:55:53.000 That's just not what we need right now for the holiday season after all this craziness.

01:55:57.000 Not what we need.

01:55:57.000 But it's OK for the ultra-wealthy who will just fly private without masks or restrictions

01:56:02.000 while the poor people can barely afford.

01:56:05.000 All right.

01:56:07.000 Just also says that Trump has a big obstacle now that Dems won't even need to debate anymore.

01:56:11.000 I mean, Biden barely wanted debate in the first place, and now they're not debating.

01:56:15.000 So maybe Trump's boisterous attitude.

01:56:18.000 I think they saw how Trump- Oh man, wouldn't that be something if the Democrats just pull a Katie Hobbs going forward?

01:56:24.000 Nope, we're just not doing it.

01:56:25.000 We're just not, you know, if it's Trump, he's Hitler.

01:56:28.000 Exactly.

01:56:29.000 They'll say, we will not allow, I will not give him the promotion he's requesting.

01:56:33.000 We won't do it.

01:56:34.000 Oh man.

01:56:34.000 And then that takes away what you're saying basically is Trump's secret thing, right?

01:56:38.000 The one thing that you were given him over DeSantis was that.

01:56:42.000 And DeSantis's, where he's probably weakest is...

01:56:46.000 Well, I don't know how he would fare in a debate, but he doesn't come off as the same kind of boisterous personality as Trump.

01:56:50.000 But if they don't debate him, then it helps DeSantis.

01:56:53.000 He's got policy behind his back.

01:56:55.000 He doesn't need to prove himself on a stage with somebody.

01:56:57.000 I remember Trump during the debates in 2016 was spectacular.

01:57:01.000 2020, I don't really remember him doing that well with Biden, unless I'm wrong.

01:57:06.000 No, that's what I was saying earlier.

01:57:07.000 He seems to be better in the fray, right?

01:57:09.000 When there's a scrum and there's a bunch of people.

01:57:10.000 No, he did well with Hillary.

01:57:12.000 When it was him and Hillary one-on-one, he was doing really good with that.

01:57:15.000 Go to jail line.

01:57:16.000 That wasn't really good though.

01:57:17.000 Saying that you're going to throw your political opponent in jail is not good.

01:57:20.000 Well, it worked for the base though.

01:57:22.000 I mean, it got, it did get him, it helped get him elected for sure.

01:57:25.000 It got aroused.

01:57:25.000 It was effective.

01:57:26.000 But so were the Nazis. 0.83

01:57:27.000 Okay.

01:57:28.000 But I don't understand your point.

01:57:30.000 They're not, they're not the Nazis either.

01:57:32.000 I think he was also, I think he was a little off his game in 2020 because COVID was so freaking crazy that, and he had just recovered from COVID in one of the debates.

01:57:39.000 Like he just wasn't fully himself.

01:57:41.000 Yeah.

01:57:42.000 Killer Donut says, as a West Virginian that moved to Florida, I will gladly take the humidity over Snowmageddon plus tons of activities.

01:57:49.000 You could be like the snowbirds, come down in the winter and leave in the summer.

01:57:52.000 Thank you.

01:57:53.000 You know, winter doesn't last that long.

01:57:55.000 It doesn't actually snow that much out here.

01:57:56.000 It snowed, I think, last year like twice.

01:57:59.000 And snowboarding's fun.

01:58:01.000 I gotta tell you, we get just the right amount of winter.

01:58:04.000 You rent a little cabin a couple hours north in maybe the mountains somewhere in Pennsylvania, and you get a cabin with big glass windows right in front, and you sit back with the fire going and a hot cocoa and slippers on, and you're just watching the snow come down at night.

01:58:18.000 Just crying thinking about Florida.

01:58:20.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

01:58:22.000 You know what we do?

01:58:22.000 I'm thinking about swimming in the hot ocean in the sun to get some vitamin D, which is really good and important for your body.

01:58:28.000 We have all the seasons here.

01:58:30.000 And so you get the hot, you go on the river.

01:58:33.000 You get the cold, you go snowboarding.

01:58:34.000 You get springtime, you go skating.

01:58:37.000 Florida's great for, you know, to visit in the winter sometime.

01:58:39.000 You want to get a taste of that good summer vibes, and then you come back and you enjoy that you got snow.

01:58:44.000 Tim, I know you need to believe this, so I'm gonna let you have it.

01:58:48.000 Look, I'm from Chicago.

01:58:49.000 We have... What is Chicago?

01:58:51.000 Technically, we have two seasons.

01:58:52.000 It has freezing cold and super hot.

01:58:55.000 So, you know, I like the mix.

01:58:57.000 I like San Diego.

01:58:58.000 It's always 69 degrees, but it gets a little foggy in the mornings.

01:59:03.000 But L.A.

01:59:04.000 is great, man.

01:59:05.000 L.A.

01:59:05.000 weather really is great.

01:59:06.000 It rains fire every few months, you know.

01:59:09.000 The crazy fires.

01:59:11.000 The problem with L.A.

01:59:12.000 is not the weather, it's the people.

01:59:13.000 The communism.

01:59:15.000 The breakdust, I guess.

01:59:16.000 And the air quality blows there, really.

01:59:18.000 It's just, it's really bad.

01:59:21.000 All right.

01:59:22.000 Agamemnon's Gym Bag says, Dave, neat guy, but I very much disagree.

01:59:25.000 Remove R&D from ballots.

01:59:27.000 You can literally fire up the internet machine and figure out the candidates you want while you are in line.

01:59:32.000 If you're not willing to do that, you probably shouldn't be voting.

01:59:34.000 Yeah, I don't feel particularly strong about it either way.

01:59:37.000 I think your argument before was sound, and I think there's reasons to, when it's working, that you're just getting some extra votes for the right people.

01:59:44.000 Democrats would be panicking if DNR were moving forward.

01:59:47.000 Republicans, like, people are wondering, like, how is it that, you know, some people voted for this Republican, but not that Republican in Arizona?

01:59:55.000 And it's like, because Republican voters vote based on their candidate by doing research, and so they might sometimes actually prefer to switch parties.

02:00:01.000 This can be a problem sometimes.

02:00:03.000 Yup.

02:00:03.000 And Democrats are just going to be like, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat.

02:00:08.000 I say you take that.

02:00:09.000 Matt Anthony says, Katie Hobbs just won AZ. 0.99

02:00:12.000 Sucks.

02:00:13.000 We will see, but yeah, yeah, probably. 0.96

02:00:16.000 Which was surprising, and I know the left is, uh, because they operate based on a lack of context.

02:00:21.000 I did a couple segments saying the trend suggests Carrie Lake will win, and that's actually what the forecasters were predicting and what the trends were predicting. 0.51

02:00:29.000 The trends were showing that the late ballots that were coming in were actually beginning to favor Carrie Lake increasingly. 0.67

02:00:34.000 And AZ Central reported that Carrie Lake had more than enough votes left to actually win in the end, like we saw in 2020 with the late ballots coming in. 0.99

02:00:43.000 They were late drop-off absentee.

02:00:47.000 However, they said it's possible that she still does lose.

02:00:50.000 No one really wants to say they think this will follow 2020 trends.

02:00:55.000 So ultimately, it sounds like it didn't, and Carrie Lake was not able to muster up enough votes.

02:01:00.000 Well, the question is, what will Carrie do? 0.99

02:01:02.000 We'll see.

02:01:33.000 My website is youtube.com forward slash WeAreChange.

02:01:36.000 I've been screaming about the FTX scandal the last few days.

02:01:39.000 Oh yeah, we didn't get there.

02:01:40.000 The World Economic Forum, the Clintons, Tony Blair, they're all involved here.

02:01:43.000 The story is crazy.

02:01:45.000 I've made a number of videos about it.

02:01:46.000 Let's talk about it in the members only.

02:01:47.000 And then on LukeUncensored.com I even talked about an Epstein FTX possible link.

02:01:52.000 You want to see that?

02:01:53.000 LukeUncensored.com.

02:01:54.000 See you there.

02:01:55.000 Yeah, the FTX thing is one of the greatest fiscal scandals of our generation, honestly.

02:01:59.000 Maybe in my lifetime.

02:02:00.000 And it's crypto.

02:02:01.000 It's new.

02:02:02.000 People don't know what to do about it.

02:02:04.000 The government's pulling their hair out.

02:02:05.000 They were in the Bahamas.

02:02:07.000 That's where it's all going down, not even in American soil. 0.96

02:02:08.000 But there's a lot of American money in there.

02:02:10.000 I'm interested to talk about it.

02:02:11.000 Let's talk about it.

02:02:12.000 Florida, man.

02:02:13.000 I love you, brother.

02:02:14.000 See?

02:02:15.000 You see?

02:02:15.000 We worked it out.

02:02:17.000 It's like the founding fathers, man.

02:02:18.000 They didn't always agree, but they worked together anyway.

02:02:21.000 That's right, Dave is just like Thomas Jefferson.

02:02:24.000 Thank you, thank you. 1.00

02:02:26.000 I'm having sex with my slaves. 1.00

02:02:28.000 Don't be Benjamin Franklin. 1.00

02:02:29.000 Yeah, I'd love to continue the conversation too.

02:02:32.000 I think Rumble's in a position to decentralize the internet and make free software like the law of the land.

02:02:37.000 I'm really excited.

02:02:38.000 Chris is also, I've had this conversation with him.

02:02:39.000 Chris is a good dude, we're working on a lot of stuff.

02:02:41.000 Cool young guy.

02:02:41.000 Let's get it.

02:02:42.000 I love Chris.

02:02:42.000 All right, see you guys.
