Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Democrats Say Trump Supporters Are The Country's BIGGEST Threat w- Julio Rosas

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:25.000 The most concerning issue among Republicans was illegal immigration.

00:00:30.000 That's fairly typical.

00:00:31.000 That's been a big talking point for Republicans going back decades, so I'm not surprised there.

00:00:36.000 When Democrats were asked the same question, their biggest concern was Trump supporters.

00:00:42.000 That's new.

00:00:44.000 That's creepy.

00:00:45.000 That's actually really scary.

00:00:47.000 But it makes sense when you think about some of the data we've gone through on this show before, such as the New York Times data showing the Democrats have fired off far to the left while Republicans have kind of stayed where they are.

00:00:57.000 Or similar data from Pew Research, which has been highlighted by tons of organizations, including us here at TimCast IRL, as well as PragerU, that shows that the median Republican has moved slightly to the right, and the median Democrat has fired off super far to the left.

00:01:10.000 So when you ask a Republican, what are your concerns?

00:01:12.000 They say, same thing as always, illegal immigration, right?

00:01:14.000 And when you ask a Democrat, they say, the Trump supporters.

00:01:17.000 And as you know, what, 95% of Republicans supported Donald Trump, or 90 to 95.

00:01:22.000 It's probably gone down a bit.

00:01:24.000 But this is Democrats saying, for the most part, the other, the Republican.

00:01:28.000 The reason this is so worrying is we recently heard MSNBC, one of the MSNBC hosts, say, why don't we drone strike some of these people?

00:01:36.000 We saw an article from The Root, which, according to Newswhip, in 2018 was the most engaged with leftist news source, where they said it's time to treat Republicans like enemy combatants.

00:01:47.000 And if these people were in any other country, we would have droned them. 0.99

00:01:51.000 That's the kind of rhetoric that's coming.

00:01:53.000 I gotta tell you, man, it's getting scary.

00:01:54.000 Now we got the FBI investigating members of Congress over what happened at the Capitol, seizing congressional phone records.

00:02:02.000 Some people are saying it's a violation of the co-equal branches of government, the executive branch going after members of Congress.

00:02:08.000 Apparently Nancy Pelosi's okay with it.

00:02:10.000 So we're gonna talk all about this stuff.

00:02:11.000 Today we are joined by journalist and Marine Reservist Julio Rosas.

00:02:15.000 How's it going, man?

00:02:15.000 You wanna briefly just give us a really quick introduction?

00:02:18.000 Yeah, no, so I'm currently in the Marine Corps Reserves, part-time, and so my main job is I'm a senior writer at townhall.com, cover all sorts of stuff.

00:02:25.000 Riots have been kind of the mainstay, and then in between that, immigration, whole media bias.

00:02:30.000 Yeah, you were recently down at the border, I guess?

00:02:32.000 Yeah, Tijuana on Friday, yeah.

00:02:33.000 Wow.

00:02:33.000 And you've also covered tons of Antifa stuff.

00:02:35.000 I've seen a ton of your videos.

00:02:37.000 I think people have even, like, some of these Antifa guys have threatened you.

00:02:40.000 Oh yeah.

00:02:41.000 Of course you're a journalist.

00:02:43.000 Right on.

00:02:44.000 Cool.

00:02:44.000 We also got Luke.

00:02:45.000 He's hanging out.

00:02:45.000 So I forgot to mention this, but last week I wasn't here Friday because of a family matter.

00:02:50.000 But I was looking at the comments and there was one guy saying, No Luke, I puke.

00:02:54.000 And he was spamming that in there.

00:02:56.000 And that made my day.

00:02:57.000 And I want to say thank you, guys.

00:02:58.000 I really enjoy engaging with you.

00:03:00.000 Hi, I'm an independent journalist that does independent media productions on the YouTube channel We Are Change.

00:03:06.000 I also have a backup channel called LukeWeAreChange.

00:03:24.000 What's up, everybody?

00:03:42.000 Go to Stronger Bones and Life and you can get 51% off of this collagen supplement.

00:03:48.000 I gotta be honest with everybody.

00:03:49.000 I am 34 and I skate all the time.

00:03:52.000 And that is ancient in skateboarder timelines.

00:03:55.000 Skater years.

00:03:56.000 I recently was skating.

00:03:58.000 I broke my wrist.

00:04:00.000 I swear I broke my wrist.

00:04:01.000 Well.

00:04:01.000 I think I did.

00:04:02.000 Maybe I didn't, but it was really messed up.

00:04:03.000 Now my elbow got all messed up, and I'm just like, I gotta start taking care of myself.

00:04:07.000 And so I'm really excited we have this stuff.

00:04:08.000 We love mixing this collagen supplement into our drinks.

00:04:12.000 If you're not familiar, collagen is what makes up your ligaments.

00:04:15.000 It makes, you know, stronger skin and all that stuff.

00:04:17.000 According to the BioTrust website, they say it makes your skin healthy and supple.

00:04:21.000 Gives you a youthful look.

00:04:22.000 Makes hair healthy and young-looking.

00:04:24.000 I don't have any of that, so, you know, I don't gotta worry about that.

00:04:26.000 Supports joint flexibility.

00:04:27.000 Strengthens nails, teeth, and gums.

00:04:32.000 Promotes stronger bones.

00:04:35.000 Promotes healthy appetite management.

00:04:36.000 Again, strongerbonesinlife.com.

00:04:39.000 And I mean it, I don't like promoting things unless I actually feel good about them, and they actually do something good for me.

00:04:45.000 And, uh, I am ancient in the world of skateboarding.

00:04:47.000 I gotta- I gotta also say, Tony Hawkda is 720 and he's like 54, so that- that dude is- is- is a master.

00:04:53.000 But I got some talking points for you, because I'm really so- there's really cool stuff that they're doing.

00:05:29.000 So please help Biotrust hit their goal of 5 million meals this year.

00:05:32.000 Dude, I'm just gonna say it one more time.

00:05:34.000 I used to take... I took nothing seriously in regards to health.

00:05:38.000 I would skate.

00:05:38.000 I would eat junk food.

00:05:40.000 When I was a late teens, I'd be drinking.

00:05:42.000 And I regret it.

00:05:43.000 I do.

00:05:43.000 I don't really drink all that much anymore.

00:05:45.000 I try to be more serious about this stuff.

00:05:47.000 But I got to tell you, most of you probably know, you hit 30 and you're like, what am I doing?

00:05:51.000 You better start taking it seriously because the next thing you know, you're going to be like struggling to get up the stairs.

00:05:56.000 I recently had like, we had some, a crew come over for doing electrical work and I'm running, jumping up the stairs full speed and sprinting.

00:06:02.000 And they're like, how do you do that?

00:06:04.000 Well, I have ageless multi-collagen, so check it out.

00:06:18.000 We have exclusive members-only posts.

00:06:20.000 We did an hour the other day with Mike Cernovich talking about the Epstein files, the containment of truth, and what really happened.

00:06:26.000 This is crazy stuff.

00:06:27.000 So that's up at TimCast.com.

00:06:28.000 Don't forget to like, share, subscribe.

00:06:30.000 Let's jump in to the first story.

00:06:33.000 So we have this post from Kristen Soltis Anderson.

00:06:36.000 She says, thread on the new echelon insights polling about voter priorities and what Republicans in particular are

00:06:42.000 looking for.

00:06:43.000 Unlike traditional top issues questions, here we ask people to rate each issue on how much it

00:06:48.000 concerns them. We tested these issues with everyone.

00:06:51.000 Let's just jump straight. Well, let's start with Republicans first. I want because

00:06:56.000 I want to build up to it, right?

00:06:58.000 You know what the title of the segment is.

00:06:59.000 You know what we're talking about.

00:07:00.000 So let me just show you the kind of, I guess, regular opinions of conservatives.

00:07:06.000 GOP most concerned about police support and illegal immigration.

00:07:09.000 The question was, how concerned are you, if at all, that the following are a problem for the country?

00:07:15.000 The top was illegal immigration.

00:07:18.000 59% were extremely concerned.

00:07:20.000 Next, lack of support for the police.

00:07:22.000 59... I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

00:07:24.000 It's 79% extremely concerned.

00:07:25.000 High taxes, 77% extremely concerned.

00:07:30.000 Fairly typical Republican things.

00:07:32.000 I'm concerned about taxes, and people don't like the police, and I wave my flag, and illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:07:36.000 They talk about liberal bias in mainstream media.

00:07:38.000 Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson have been ranting on liberal bias in the media forever, and so has Glenn Beck.

00:07:43.000 That's totally normal.

00:07:44.000 There's not a whole lot that's new in this socialism.

00:07:47.000 Of course, socialism.

00:07:48.000 Antifa violence.

00:07:49.000 Well, that's relatively new, but, you know, left-wing violence still is something that exists.

00:07:54.000 And then you have abortion, tech censorship, discrimination against Christians.

00:07:58.000 I swear, you could do the same poll 20 years ago and find the same answers.

00:08:01.000 What do you think the Democrats said?

00:08:03.000 The most concerning thing, with 82%, was Donald Trump's supporters, followed by White nationalism, 79%, followed by systemic racism at 77%, and then gun violence, and then healthcare, then domestic terror, then police brutality.

00:08:20.000 You'll see a lot of these same issues that, you know, Democrats have typically been concerned about.

00:08:24.000 But I think it's particularly worrying that at a time when we're seeing some of the most insane rhetoric pointed at Republicans and Trump supporters, saying drone strike them, saying treat them as enemies and combatants, You don't see the same thing from Republicans.

00:08:38.000 So before we throw it to everybody and get into this bigger conversation, I'll just point this out.

00:08:42.000 When I do my segments on this show, on my other channels, and I say, I may be biased, but I really do see the problem as being on the Democrat side of things, not Republican.

00:08:54.000 This is another data point that backs that up.

00:08:56.000 Republicans, once again, concerned about the things they've always been concerned about.

00:08:59.000 What am I going to complain about?

00:09:00.000 Republicans saying the same thing they said for 30 years?

00:09:03.000 Sure, I got criticisms.

00:09:04.000 The Democrats coming out and saying Trump supporters are the biggest threat?

00:09:09.000 That's scary. 0.97

00:09:10.000 Luke, you brought up last week when that lady from MSNBC said, why don't we just drone strike them?

00:09:15.000 We drone strike people in Afghanistan.

00:09:17.000 Yeah, I think it's fair to say that our language is becoming a little bit hyperbolic, to say the least, especially politically.

00:09:23.000 I for sure thought the top thing on that list was going to be masculinity, weights, trucks, and other inanimate objects that people are scared of and refuse to take personal responsibility on.

00:09:35.000 Firearms.

00:09:36.000 Defensive tools.

00:09:37.000 You know, if you're gonna put guns there, you gotta put forks on there, because forks are responsible for a lot of obesity, a lot of death, and a lot of horrible, horrible sicknesses that we need to be very responsible for by banning the tools that enable people to die of heart disease on such huge numbers.

00:09:53.000 300,000 people died in 2019 of obesity.

00:09:55.000 Exactly.

00:09:55.000 No one wants to talk about that.

00:09:57.000 That's what, like, almost a 9-11 every single day?

00:10:00.000 Yeah, where's the non-stop 24-7 news coverage of people stuffing McDonald's down their food and talking about how horrible it is and showing them in the hospitals as they're down their goblets down their throats?

00:10:10.000 Whatever, you know what I'm trying to say here?

00:10:17.000 But again, there's a lot of bigger issues out there.

00:10:20.000 And I don't know.

00:10:21.000 I don't like polls.

00:10:22.000 I always question the results of polls.

00:10:24.000 You can manipulate polls in so many different ways.

00:10:27.000 So I don't know.

00:10:28.000 I don't trust this because this proves that the mainstream media brainwashing is working.

00:10:33.000 Because again, when you look at relative threats to you, It's usually a lot of the stuff that a lot of elites are responsible for that they don't want you to know about.

00:10:41.000 As we were talking about obesity, cancer, and other health-related illnesses that, of course, are never truly addressed.

00:10:49.000 But now, again, we have a caring government that allegedly cares about our health and is willing to stop the economy and destroy everything in its doorsteps just to make us healthy?

00:10:58.000 Yeah, sure.

00:10:59.000 You know, Luke and I have definitely covered our share of riots and of various factions.

00:11:03.000 And Julio, you've been on the ground for a ton of this stuff.

00:11:06.000 Do you think that it is fair for Democrats to say, or do you think it's fair for them to be more concerned about Trump supporters than any other problem in the country?

00:11:14.000 Does that make sense?

00:11:15.000 No, it doesn't.

00:11:16.000 It's just, I would completely disagree with that mindset.

00:11:20.000 Do you think it should even be on the list?

00:11:22.000 I think I know what you're going to say.

00:11:23.000 That's why I'm asking.

00:11:23.000 I'm giving you the obvious questions.

00:11:25.000 Well, it's just, I mean, obviously, I think one of the factors, just because of what happened on January 6th, I was there, I covered it, but really, I mean, what we saw most of last year, and what I covered from Kenosha to Minneapolis and Seattle, those were all done by left-wing Well, but Kyle Reddenhaus!

00:11:46.000 Well, that was born out of a situation that was the result of the local and state government not getting a handle on riots that were, again, started by left-wing and BLM sympathizers.

00:11:57.000 And standing down.

00:12:00.000 Yes.

00:12:00.000 So this is the point I keep making.

00:12:02.000 People are like, Tim, all your videos are about the Democrats.

00:12:04.000 And I'm like, listen.

00:12:07.000 When has there been a moment where a bunch of Trump supporters started smashing windows, breaking into a building, and, you know, being all around disruptive?

00:12:17.000 January 6th.

00:12:18.000 Can you tell me a time before that?

00:12:20.000 Because I'm sure they exist, you know, but anything off the top of your head?

00:12:24.000 Trump supporters came out, flags, marching through the street, chanting, and smashing windows, starting fires, or anything like that?

00:12:29.000 And that number?

00:12:30.000 No, not that I can recall.

00:12:32.000 You know, so what I've seen is leftist violence and extremism.

00:12:36.000 And even then, with all of the news coverage, look at Andy Ngo's book.

00:12:41.000 Andy Ngo put out that book on Antifa.

00:12:43.000 It's like a New York Times bestseller.

00:12:45.000 And Republicans are still like, yeah, we get Antifa's a problem, but illegal immigration is more concerning.

00:12:50.000 Because there's a lot of policy ramifications to illegal immigration, economic ramifications.

00:12:53.000 So Republicans, right where they've always been.

00:12:55.000 Antifa going on doing their thing.

00:12:56.000 Republicans know it, but they're not screaming about it like it's the end of the world.

00:12:59.000 Some are, for sure.

00:13:01.000 Their concerns are more practical, policy-driven.

00:13:03.000 Democrats are pointing at Republicans.

00:13:06.000 So this is what is worrying to me.

00:13:08.000 Let me show this article from The Root.

00:13:11.000 They say Democrats are stuck with a Republican party rife with conspiracy theorists, anarchists, and terror sympathizers.

00:13:18.000 The craziest thing about this, let me just try and pull up the most insane, look at this.

00:13:23.000 They say we have to view the GOP as enemy combatants because for years they have proven that Democrats are theirs.

00:13:32.000 Republicans might view Democrats as, like, political rivals who they don't like and will call names.

00:13:39.000 But Republicans aren't that concerned about general Democrats.

00:13:42.000 This is the crazy thing about this Echelon Insights thing.

00:13:44.000 On the list of things Republicans are concerned about, Biden supporters is not one of them.

00:13:50.000 They don't care about people who voted for Joe Biden.

00:13:53.000 They care about problems.

00:13:55.000 The Democrats literally care about Republicans. 0.99

00:13:57.000 I shouldn't even say Republicans, because the Republican Party is trash, but conservatives, Trump supporters. 0.98

00:14:02.000 Trump supporters are not Republicans. 0.98

00:14:04.000 There's a big difference, but there is an overlap, I guess. 0.99

00:14:07.000 I can say, you know, Republicans are trash, and most people will be like, you mean the politicians, right? 0.99

00:14:10.000 Yeah, oh, of course. 1.00

00:14:11.000 Like, everybody agrees.

00:14:13.000 So I'm worried about this rhetoric, man.

00:14:15.000 I'm worried about this.

00:14:16.000 We also have this article.

00:14:17.000 I'll pull this one up from FiveThirtyEight.

00:14:19.000 In America's uncivil war, Republicans are the aggressors.

00:14:23.000 Dude, they live in a paranoid, delusional state.

00:14:26.000 Would you agree with that?

00:14:28.000 Republicans are the aggressors in the uncivil war?

00:14:31.000 As a whole, no.

00:14:31.000 I mean, it's just, again, what I covered and what I saw firsthand, it wasn't people in MAGA hats.

00:14:39.000 It wasn't people waving Trump flags.

00:14:41.000 It was people that were definitely aligned with more of the radical elements of the left.

00:14:46.000 But, I mean, Antifa, as real as they are, right, they weren't everywhere in terms of all the riots.

00:14:54.000 They weren't responsible for every single one.

00:14:56.000 obviously they had a hand in places like Portland, Seattle, where they had their strongholds,

00:15:00.000 but really it was everyday people, especially when it started out on day one, because then

00:15:08.000 I can say in Kenosha there were Antifa types that came from Chicago and Milwaukee, but

00:15:12.000 that was day three, that was day two, that wasn't the first.

00:15:15.000 So everything kind of went bad in that town was everyday people, quote unquote.

00:15:23.000 Did you guys see what happened in New York where there was like an SUV with Trump flags?

00:15:28.000 And then regular New Yorker leftists started attacking it and some woman like pepper sprayed the family including some children. 1.00

00:15:35.000 Oh, when they had that little caravan?

00:15:37.000 No, no, I don't think it was... It might have been a little caravan.

00:15:40.000 I don't think it was, like, a big parade.

00:15:41.000 I think it was just, like, SUVs driving on the... What was it?

00:15:45.000 What's the highway?

00:15:45.000 BQE.

00:15:45.000 Is that what it is?

00:15:46.000 The BQE?

00:15:47.000 The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway?

00:15:48.000 Yeah.

00:15:49.000 And so, you've got... These people are not Antifa.

00:15:52.000 Right.

00:15:53.000 These leftists.

00:15:54.000 And that's crazy to me that you can have these videos, that Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters can see a video of children being pepper-sprayed and still say, that's not my biggest concern. 0.98

00:16:03.000 Whereas on the left, you get one day where Trump supporters act a fool, and that's the biggest concern they have. 0.95

00:16:11.000 I think it's the fake news, the manipulation that's going to lead to something dramatically worse. 0.94

00:16:16.000 My concern is, as they kind of escalate this, and I'll just throw this next bit in because I covered this the other day, that the FBI is treating members of Congress, they say they're treating members of Congress as suspects in the Capitol riot.

00:16:30.000 What happens when you have this rhetoric where the Democrats think this is our biggest threat?

00:16:35.000 You're gonna get politicians on the Democrat side who say, vote for me and I will destroy Republicans.

00:16:41.000 Vote for me and I will come for them and I will arrest them and we will lock them up.

00:16:45.000 And the Trump supporters are like, can I get someone to deal with the immigration issue?

00:16:48.000 If the Democrats see that the biggest issue among their voter bloc is Trump supporters, they will use all the power they have to target them.

00:16:56.000 It's what they've been doing.

00:16:57.000 Right.

00:16:57.000 And it's probably creating like a downward spiral where it's gonna keep getting worse.

00:17:00.000 And that's why they have concerns about establishing a 9-11 style commission.

00:17:04.000 It's like, well, how truly neutral and independent is it going to be when you have people on their side saying that all 74 million Trump supporters are equal to three or four hundred or so that are at the Capitol?

00:17:18.000 Right.

00:17:18.000 T-S-D-S.

00:17:20.000 We also have to understand the larger kind of media conditioning that has been going on within the last four years that really was ratcheted up to levels that I haven't ever seen it before.

00:17:32.000 I always knew and talked about the divide-and-conquer agenda for about 15 years now, but really the last four years were absolutely insane.

00:17:39.000 If you look at left-wing media, they're always saying right-wing terror, right-wingers are going to kill you, right-wingers are horrible, and then just non-stop, 24-7 coverage.

00:17:49.000 And then there's also some criticism on right-wing coverage where they said Antifa is responsible for everything bad underneath the sun and sometimes they were also exaggerated sometimes they're also downplayed by the left-wing media but we have to understand this cycle is spinning out of control and when the Democrats are in power right now.

00:18:07.000 There are a legitimate amount of people asking, what do you got for us?

00:18:11.000 And the first thing they got is, we could punish more Trump supporters.

00:18:14.000 And according to this poll, that's allegedly what they want.

00:18:17.000 And again, I find it hard to believe, to be honest with you, because... You don't like the poll?

00:18:23.000 I want to deep dive into it to see exactly how it was done, to see exactly how the questions were, because I bet we're going to find some anomalies.

00:18:30.000 Because there's no way people who are suffering so much, people who have been screwed over by the establishment, who have been promised $2,000 and they're getting nothing but military-industrial complex, no-bid contracts for Raytheon right now, their $2,000 is out the door.

00:18:45.000 There's no way that their first thing is retribution.

00:18:47.000 I don't know.

00:18:48.000 You're wrong.

00:18:48.000 That's my opinion.

00:18:49.000 That's okay.

00:18:50.000 You have your opinion.

00:18:51.000 I have mine.

00:18:51.000 That's my own personal perspective because seeing the responses, yes, there's a lot of hyperbolic stuff on social media, but in reality, there's a lot of people saying, okay, Democrats, you're in charge.

00:19:02.000 What do you got for me?

00:19:03.000 What can you do for me?

00:19:05.000 I'm seeing people defend Joe Biden setting up child migrant detention facilities, okay?

00:19:10.000 So there was the one in Homestead, which is the Miami facility.

00:19:14.000 Kamala Harris literally protested there. 1.00

00:19:16.000 And all the Democrats, not the progressives, all of like the establishment, tribalists are going like, yay, Kamala!

00:19:22.000 And then Trump shut it down.

00:19:24.000 And they go, good, it's about time Trump.

00:19:27.000 And then Biden's administration reopened it.

00:19:29.000 And they're like, well, actually, you know, it does make sense that Biden is doing that.

00:19:33.000 You see what they do.

00:19:34.000 So I disagree.

00:19:35.000 I think you're right that there are regular Americans who are like, yo, where's my money, bro?

00:19:39.000 You said I get $2,000 where it where it's at and you're not getting it.

00:19:43.000 But I think too many And it makes sense. I mean, like what, 80, 80 some odd

00:19:48.000 percent are just like Trump is bad.

00:19:50.000 So there's two things. When the media for years kept screaming at the top of their lungs,

00:19:54.000 orange man bad. Some people just ate that up and now they're shaking in their homes,

00:19:58.000 terrified of Trump supporters. But I think people are realizing Trump's not in power.

00:20:03.000 The FBI is on top of all the grannies that walked into the Capitol that day. 1.00

00:20:07.000 There's no evil grannies that are going to come after them and walk into their private residency by accident. 1.00

00:20:13.000 So I think people are realizing that.

00:20:15.000 And there's also very interesting pushback with the Gravel Institute and AOC pushing back against Biden and this new kind of, you know, what are they calling it now?

00:20:25.000 Child Migrant Overflow Facility.

00:20:28.000 Which are literally using storage containers to put children in.

00:20:32.000 Which have bars on the windows.

00:20:33.000 I heard there's air conditioning.

00:20:36.000 I mean, that's good.

00:20:37.000 Listen, listen, listen.

00:20:39.000 I gotta defend Joe Biden.

00:20:40.000 Okay?

00:20:40.000 I gotta defend Joe Biden.

00:20:42.000 I do.

00:20:42.000 I absolutely do.

00:20:44.000 These facilities need to exist.

00:20:47.000 Separating families is awful.

00:20:49.000 But a lot of the separation occurs because they don't know who the families are.

00:20:51.000 Because it's just some random guy with a kid.

00:20:54.000 And then the other issue is the facility that Biden opened up, it's unaccompanied kids.

00:20:58.000 So like when a kid crosses the board and they pick them up, they're like, what do we do?

00:21:01.000 We're not going to put them in an adult jail with a bunch of old dudes. 0.86

00:21:04.000 They put them in a facility, a juvenile facility.

00:21:07.000 But just for me personally, because I am of Mexican descent, the thing that just really irritates me is, sure, AOC did a tweet saying, yeah, it's bad in any administration, but she's not going to go down there and do another photo op.

00:21:21.000 And just, I remember just the complete outrage at the child separation policy, which was, you know, well, the outrage at it was good. 0.99

00:21:30.000 I didn't agree with it at all.

00:21:32.000 Yeah.

00:21:32.000 uh... but and then it is a bit of what the on that and talk about kids in cages

00:21:36.000 and and they were put they were putting photos that were taken there are a lot

00:21:39.000 of ministration yeah and saying that all the and went so basically

00:21:44.000 by and large the the mainstream media and democrats review latinos

00:21:49.000 as uh... as a a hammer to beat Republicans with when it suits them and so

00:21:52.000 it's just I really see I'm just I'm really upset at how there you know if you're

00:21:58.000 gonna be if you're gonna be as outraged as you were when Trump was in

00:22:01.000 office and you should be equally as outraged. Oh I just realized, Julio Rosas,

00:22:05.000 you're actually a Mexican yourself. I don't I don't I'm

00:22:10.000 I'm special in that I don't see these things that the Democrats... Completely colorblind.

00:22:14.000 Yeah, colorblind.

00:22:15.000 Totally colorblind.

00:22:16.000 Another thing to really kind of be blunt here about is, especially when it comes to new immigrants that come into this country, who do they serve?

00:22:24.000 They usually go to big cities and they serve a lot of these establishment limousine liberals.

00:22:29.000 And they're working in underappreciated, underpaid jobs, usually under the table.

00:22:35.000 In a position that predominantly helps them.

00:22:37.000 Yeah, it exploits human beings to the worst degree for the benefit of the people living in the cities.

00:22:44.000 Who lives in the cities?

00:22:45.000 Predominantly liberals benefiting off of it.

00:22:47.000 Here's the point I was gonna make with that, is that we recently saw, especially in South Texas, the Latino community went for Trump.

00:22:53.000 In Miami, a district that was considered safe Democrat, flipped Republican.

00:23:00.000 Because it seems like, first of all, this idea that Latinos in this country are one political body is just not true.

00:23:07.000 And you could probably speak to this better than I could.

00:23:08.000 But I know people, I lived in Miami, I know people who were from Cuba and Venezuela, and they're like, nah. 1.00

00:23:13.000 They were staunch capitalists, hated those systems that they view as destroying their country.

00:23:18.000 But when you look at, you know, what's going on at these facilities, I'm really curious about who AOC is actually speaking to when it's like, ah, in South Texas, they're actually kind of pro-Trump.

00:23:28.000 You know, they've gone pretty hard for the Republicans.

00:23:30.000 I can't imagine they're going to disagree with the same policies that Trump had, right?

00:23:35.000 Well, it's just the fact that they live at the, you know, they live there in terms of the border.

00:23:41.000 And so they are acutely aware of the issues that are plaguing the immigration system and obviously just the overall problems that we have at the southern border.

00:23:51.000 And so, I mean, and that's why you see a lot of border patrol officers.

00:23:56.000 They're Latino, but I think the majority of the officers are Latino because they often come from those communities because, again, they see the importance of border security.

00:24:05.000 They know that you just can't have just it be open and what have you.

00:24:10.000 So yeah, I think it really, I think the last election obviously didn't go Trump's way, but the fact that he was able to gain a lot within the Latino community and other minorities as well, but especially in the Latino community.

00:24:23.000 I mean, you'd think that, you know, after four years of talking about how Trump was just going to go after all the Latinos and, you know, it's just this really bad dictator.

00:24:32.000 Right, and then he's pretty pretty he's pretty bad at being a dictator in that in that regard if the people that he's supposed to Be victimizing is actually going for him.

00:24:39.000 The worst thing he did was post that photo taco bowl It was like how dare you?

00:24:43.000 You know, it's like cultural appropriates like taco bowls aren't even actually Mexican or whatever and and that looks good Objectively look good to me.

00:24:50.000 I Don't know why the image that just came to my head and it's very visceral is this kind of you know This kind of liberal sitting in a fancy restaurant tweeting that we need more immigration as they're of course at a very fancy restaurant and behind the doors are all the illegal immigrants working their butts off, you know, serving them and to me just seeing that kind of representation just kind of angers me to be honest with you. 0.93

00:25:16.000 One of my favorite tweets early in the Trump administration, I think it was 2018, it was from this actress, I forgot who it was, but it was in Los Angeles, and she tweeted out that, oh there's immigration checkpoints, and so she's tweeting to her followers, tell your gardeners to...

00:25:30.000 Tell your housemates, tell them to avoid this area.

00:25:33.000 And everyone's just like, wait, why are you just, why are you, why are you automatically assuming that to tell their, but, but it's true because that is, that is a majority of their set.

00:25:41.000 And so when they think about immigrants, it's, Oh, it's my, it's, it's the help.

00:25:45.000 And it's just, it's just, it's just so patronizing and it's just so fake and I'm tired of it.

00:25:51.000 So I just, I just pulled up the article cause I had to make sure I had it right.

00:25:54.000 Kelly Osborne.

00:25:56.000 She said, if you kick out Latinos, who's going to be cleaning your toilet? 1.00

00:26:00.000 What? 0.99

00:26:01.000 These people!

00:26:02.000 Again, they just see us as a political tool to hit Republicans with and to clean their toilets and cook their food.

00:26:08.000 I'm gonna read this quote and I'm gonna be very precise and annoying how I read this for political purposes because they're gonna call it out of context.

00:26:15.000 Kelly Osborne said if you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is, and this is what Kelly Osborne said, going to be cleaning your toilet.

00:26:23.000 Donald Trump, you know what I mean. 0.97

00:26:25.000 Osborne said in an attempt to call out the Republican presidential candidate who faced massive backlash.

00:26:31.000 No, that's not no, interrupted co-host Rosie Perez, continuing.

00:26:35.000 There's more jobs than that in the country for Latinos, and Latinos are not the only people who clean toilets. 1.00

00:26:40.000 And she immediately backtracked. 0.83

00:26:41.000 I didn't mean it like that.

00:26:42.000 Come on, I would never mean it like that.

00:26:43.000 Dude, you totally meant it like that.

00:26:45.000 And it was only when she got snapped back, she was like, oh, oh, is that wrong?

00:26:49.000 Am I not allowed to say that?

00:26:51.000 I thought we were on the same page here.

00:26:53.000 This is it.

00:26:54.000 Think about, it's not even about Latinos or Mexicans or people from Honduras.

00:26:58.000 It is about cheap immigrant labor. 1.00

00:27:01.000 And it used to be, who was it?

00:27:03.000 Bernie Sanders.

00:27:04.000 Bernie Sanders warned about how the Koch brothers supported open immigration because it would work great for their big corporations.

00:27:11.000 Yeah, you get some dude who comes in working below minimum wage, no benefits because they're off the books, under the table.

00:27:16.000 And then you basically have an underclass.

00:27:19.000 Then Vox.com, the progressive website, wrote in 2016 that Democratic Party is becoming the party of the wealthy elites.

00:27:27.000 So it's no surprise then the Democrats are the ones who are now saying, oh, we got to have more immigration and open borders.

00:27:34.000 It's remarkable.

00:27:35.000 Trump ran on the Republican ticket saying border security, no free trade.

00:27:39.000 And it worked because regular Americans were like, yeah, I like this idea of, you know, America first. 0.91

00:27:44.000 The big business special interest corporations and the ultra wealthy were like, how am I going to hire ultra cheap labor with no rights if the Republican is doing this?

00:27:56.000 All of a sudden, the Democrats were now like, yeah, open borders!

00:27:59.000 Even though, what, in 2008, 2010, you had Democrats who were like, we have to build a border security barrier.

00:28:04.000 That was the 2006, the Secure Fence Act.

00:28:06.000 Yeah, Joe Biden voted for that fence.

00:28:09.000 So you're calling Joe Biden a racist?

00:28:12.000 I think he called himself that.

00:28:15.000 And so even with all that, and that's why when they're saying, oh, you know, President Trump's not building any new fence, just replacing the old one.

00:28:23.000 Well, the one that was built in 2006 was basically just glorified chicken wire, and it can be easily cut into within minutes.

00:28:30.000 And so this new one that they're replacing, along with areas where there was no barrier, It takes hours and the whole point is to slow them down and to actually get border patrol agents to that area so that they can either stop them or arrest them and so it's just a lot of misinformation a lot of you know yeah rhetoric as it typically does but I've been there I've been all over El Paso, Laredo, San Diego and it's just it's just amazing when you like when you're actually there and you see it and you see the difference it's just it's just amazing.

00:29:00.000 It's remarkable how The Democrats really rely on you not knowing anything.

00:29:05.000 And so they'll be like, Donald Trump didn't build new border wall.

00:29:08.000 He only replaced existing wall.

00:29:10.000 If you've never seen it, you're imagining there's this giant wall and Trump comes in and just takes out a wall and puts in a wall and nothing changed.

00:29:16.000 And then when you actually look at it, the original wall was like some fence posts with a single like log across it that you could just like walk in limbo under.

00:29:25.000 And then Trump put triple reinforced barricades with CBP in between.

00:29:30.000 And it's like, yeah, those are very different things.

00:29:33.000 And then when they're like, yeah, but Trump should be building new wall.

00:29:35.000 It's like, but those are the hotspots that the Trump supporters wanted secured.

00:29:39.000 So like Trump wasn't giving his supporters a 30-foot big, beautiful concrete wall from

00:29:44.000 sea to shining sea paid for by Mexico.

00:29:47.000 But he was reinforcing areas with strong security and a border wall where it was most effective.

00:29:52.000 Also the conversation changed because previously before we had individuals like Bernie Sanders that were talking about how if we have a lot of people entering the labor force, wages are going to go down on the basic understanding of supply and demand economics.

00:30:08.000 That conversation's not happening anymore.

00:30:11.000 That conversation about the average worker, the average person trying to make a living wage, that's not factored in anymore, and it should be, and that should be a big part of the conversation.

00:30:21.000 I think it's just special interests.

00:30:22.000 They want to make a quick buck.

00:30:24.000 They've hijacked... It's really clever.

00:30:26.000 I'll put it this way.

00:30:27.000 You know, it's a lot easier to be on the side of social justice and have all these institutions supporting you.

00:30:35.000 But I gotta say, these people who think they're fighting for social justice and things like that...

00:30:40.000 You really think these billion-dollar corporations and these meatpacking plants care about their workers?

00:30:45.000 Look, when they slap a rainbow sticker over their logo, they're doing it so that you stop fighting against them.

00:30:52.000 And it works.

00:30:53.000 It does. 1.00

00:30:54.000 I'm not gonna be naive enough or, you know, stupid enough. 0.99

00:30:54.000 Not completely. 0.99

00:30:58.000 To try and argue that legitimate principled left-wing activists are going to stop arguing against corporations because they put a rainbow up. 0.90

00:31:05.000 But a lot of the establishment Democrat voters, the people who don't investigate news, who are not particularly active, stop being active when they're like, yay, we did it!

00:31:13.000 Coca-Cola agrees with us!

00:31:15.000 They told everyone to be less white.

00:31:16.000 The fight's over. 0.93

00:31:17.000 Oh, there you go.

00:31:18.000 By the way, do you guys have any Coke?

00:31:20.000 Coca-Cola?

00:31:21.000 No, we probably do have a Coke product somewhere.

00:31:23.000 Why, do you want something to drink?

00:31:24.000 Oh, no, I just wanted to be less white. 1.00

00:31:26.000 Did you guys see the G Prime 85 comic?

00:31:30.000 Oh my gosh, yes.

00:31:31.000 The art we have on the walls is from George Alexopoulos, and he made one where it's a white woman being baptized in Coca-Cola.

00:31:38.000 That's messed up.

00:31:39.000 What was the tagline with that?

00:31:41.000 I forgot the tagline.

00:31:42.000 Power of diabetes.

00:31:43.000 Yes, the power of diabetes.

00:31:46.000 I grant you away from your whiteness or something like that. 1.00

00:31:50.000 I'm thinking about my time in L.A.

00:31:52.000 I worked at a restaurant for a long time and had a lot of friends there that were from Central America that came over illegally and were basically extracting wealth from the country because they would get paid in cash and then they would send the money to Mexico to their families. 0.71

00:32:06.000 And then they would work in the U.S.

00:32:07.000 for a couple years and then leave and go be super rich in Mexico.

00:32:11.000 Yeah, and they were super cool.

00:32:11.000 Relatively rich, yeah.

00:32:13.000 Great friends.

00:32:15.000 And it was a small business.

00:32:17.000 So they're basically, it's not just the big corporations, but if the small business can't survive, if they have to pay full wages, it's hard to pay taxes and rent and everything.

00:32:26.000 There was a big movement for a while about local currencies.

00:32:28.000 Do you guys know about this?

00:32:29.000 Like, Ithaca hours was a big thing where basically there was money that was only good in the town of Ithaca, New York.

00:32:36.000 So if you worked, they could be like, we could pay you in US dollars or Ithaca hours.

00:32:40.000 And this, this, it was like one hour of labor equaled a one hour note.

00:32:44.000 And you could trade it for food and goods in this place.

00:32:47.000 So it had real value among the community.

00:32:50.000 What this did was it ensured that the trade medium could not leave the city.

00:32:55.000 So if you've got a city like Detroit, and then the auto plants close down and leave, now there's no more dollars coming in.

00:33:01.000 People don't have anything to trade with.

00:33:03.000 So with local currencies, that currency is always there.

00:33:07.000 That's why I think it's relevant to bring up with what you're saying, Ian.

00:33:10.000 When people come to the US, work under the table, and don't pay taxes, I'm not saying none of them pay taxes, I'm saying, but when they specifically don't, they're not giving back to the system they're getting from, they're using our infrastructure, then that money is extracted from the system and sent overseas to whatever country their family is in, Their families can then use that because the standard of living will be lower, so it goes a lot further in those places. 0.55

00:33:33.000 But that means there is less currency in that town to circulate among the people who live there, ultimately an extraction of the labor value of that area.

00:33:42.000 So it's basically like the labor being brought in is being traded away to other countries and other places over time.

00:33:49.000 It's an extraction from the U.S. 0.99

00:33:50.000 You combine that with outsourcing, factories being sent overseas and open borders, and yeah, you're going to see seriously detrimental economic effects on this country.

00:34:00.000 And that's why you get a Donald Trump because regular Americans look at this.

00:34:03.000 When you look at the original thing we were talking about, the Democrats

00:34:05.000 saying Trump supporter bad and Trump supporters saying illegal immigration bad.

00:34:08.000 It sounds like the Trump supporters, the conservatives, the Republicans

00:34:11.000 are looking at the data and thinking what will make things better in this country?

00:34:15.000 Well, we've got a problem with illegal immigration for a variety of reasons.

00:34:17.000 The Democrats are like, Republicans are bad.

00:34:20.000 It's like, that's not a policy problem.

00:34:22.000 That doesn't mean anything.

00:34:23.000 Republicans are actually saying, this is an issue.

00:34:26.000 What do the Democrats do to combat the fact that Republicans are talking about a legitimate policy debate? 0.52

00:34:31.000 They say, they're racist. 0.99

00:34:33.000 They just hate brown people. 0.99

00:34:34.000 That's the only explanation. 1.00

00:34:35.000 They hate brown people. 1.00

00:34:36.000 They're xenophobic. 1.00

00:34:37.000 I hate myself. 1.00

00:34:39.000 Yeah, how dare you be conservative and not white. 1.00

00:34:42.000 That's not allowed. 0.99

00:34:43.000 I've been called a race traitor multiple times.

00:34:44.000 That's great. 0.98

00:34:45.000 But I love how they tell non-white people to be race traitors. 0.99

00:34:50.000 I'm sorry, not to be race traitors, but then they tell white people to be race traitors. 0.99

00:34:54.000 You know what I mean? 0.94

00:34:55.000 So like they have that whiteness chart that was like, we're not at that school.

00:34:55.000 Yeah.

00:34:59.000 And it said like, be a race traitor. 0.99

00:35:00.000 And it's like, okay, go tell it to anybody who's not white. 0.99

00:35:02.000 No.

00:35:02.000 And then they say, but it's not about race.

00:35:04.000 Yeah.

00:35:04.000 That was a principal in New York city who sent a pamphlet to all the parents in that high school that, by the way, you know, there was, I think, I think 70%, uh, 17% of the kids were white.

00:35:16.000 That, that it's good to be a white traitor. 0.97

00:35:20.000 Yes, we could probably pull up the article New York City principal hands out woke pamphlet and then you could see the pamphlet in itself. 0.98

00:35:28.000 It was based off of some university professor that created a scale of whiteness asking white people to rate themselves and one of the better scales to be at is to be a white race traitor. 0.89

00:35:41.000 Oh, that's right, because you're either complicit in white supremacy or you're working against it. 0.93

00:35:45.000 I found it, yeah.

00:35:47.000 So we got this one from Syracuse.com.

00:35:49.000 New York principal asks students' parents to reflect on their whiteness.

00:35:54.000 And there's this tweet, Christopher Rufo, who we've had, he's great, is the one who, I think he broke the story, and it's the eight white identities. 0.94

00:36:02.000 I think we talked about this on the show the other day or whatever, but it's definitely worth bringing up, because it literally says to be a white traitor. 0.78

00:36:09.000 It's like, it's green. 0.97

00:36:10.000 You know, it's like white supremacist is red, bad, bad, red. 0.87

00:36:13.000 And then white privilege is like orange.

00:36:15.000 There's like a, there's like a wheel where it's like red to yellow to green.

00:36:18.000 What is that?

00:36:19.000 White voyeurism. 0.77

00:36:22.000 I don't know what that means. 0.97

00:36:23.000 Like you, you like people watching, you like watching white people. 0.73

00:36:27.000 I don't know.

00:36:28.000 Yeah.

00:36:29.000 Exhibitionism is when you like people watching you, right?

00:36:32.000 And voyeurism is when you like watching others.

00:36:34.000 Really weird.

00:36:35.000 You like watching white people? 0.67

00:36:36.000 I don't understand what that means. 0.99

00:36:37.000 And then there's white benefit, white confessional, white critical, white traitor, and white abolitionist. 0.97

00:36:43.000 White confessional. 0.99

00:36:44.000 Yeah, this is a cult, man. 0.99

00:36:46.000 It's a weird race cult. 0.89

00:36:48.000 Ugh.

00:36:48.000 Yeah.

00:36:49.000 Yuck.

00:36:50.000 I just want them to stop making Latinx a thing. 0.64

00:36:54.000 Oh my gosh, right?

00:36:56.000 Kleenex.

00:36:58.000 I forgot they tweeted it, but they tweeted a picture of an article.

00:37:01.000 I think it was like a food magazine, but it was Filipinx. 0.99

00:37:05.000 We're just like, I mean, it's just, it's just completely insulting.

00:37:09.000 I mean, well, one, it's like they're starting to realize that how machismo and how actually gendered the Spanish language is.

00:37:15.000 And I mean, there you go.

00:37:18.000 At the end of every Spanish word, it's either a male or female.

00:37:21.000 And so it goes against that orthodoxy of gender fluid.

00:37:26.000 Fluidity and all the stuff.

00:37:28.000 And so, it's just, they're trying to act like, well, we're saving you from yourselves of being sexist and oppressive towards people who don't identify as that.

00:37:36.000 It's just like, well, or maybe you're the ones being racist because you're literally destroying the foundation of the language of these minorities.

00:37:44.000 You speak Spanish, yeah?

00:37:45.000 Only speak a little bit.

00:37:47.000 I just love the idea of them saying Latinx, but they don't actually know how to speak the language.

00:37:53.000 Could you imagine trying to speak Spanish where you replaced the O's and A's with X's? 0.90

00:37:57.000 Well, one, they look at you weird.

00:38:00.000 Yo, kiddo.

00:38:01.000 Yo, kiddix.

00:38:02.000 No, no.

00:38:03.000 Yix, comedix, comedix.

00:38:05.000 It's like Pig Latin! 0.99

00:38:07.000 It was like there was a Gallup poll, I believe it was Gallup, that showed it was like 90% of Hispanics had never even heard Of that.

00:38:15.000 How do you even describe Latinx?

00:38:16.000 What does it mean?

00:38:17.000 Where did it come from?

00:38:18.000 Because I don't even understand it.

00:38:20.000 It's just to denote that you're just trying to make it gender neutral to be sensitive to others, but the overall Latino community just rejects it.

00:38:29.000 I got it pulled up.

00:38:29.000 About one in four U.S.

00:38:30.000 Hispanics have heard of Latinx, but just 3% use it.

00:38:35.000 Read the next line.

00:38:35.000 Young Hispanic women among those most likely to use the term.

00:38:38.000 It's always the chicks. 1.00

00:38:39.000 College.

00:38:40.000 Yep.

00:38:41.000 How do you, how do you, how do you, so it's, it's not just Spanish though.

00:38:43.000 It's like romance languages have gendered words.

00:38:46.000 So like, bonjournix.

00:38:49.000 What is, what?

00:38:50.000 Mussolini changed the, uh, the gender of the, yeah, yeah.

00:38:53.000 That's good.

00:38:57.000 The river, the great Italian river, had the female gender and he made it male and was like, we are a masculine country.

00:39:05.000 So there is something dangerous about, you know, making something male or female dominating, I think.

00:39:13.000 You could oppress a gender that way, but I don't know if it necessarily does. 0.67

00:39:16.000 You know what the argument I made was?

00:39:18.000 So you do speak a little bit, you guys speak a little bit of Spanish.

00:39:20.000 What does niño mean?

00:39:23.000 Little guys.

00:39:24.000 Little boys.

00:39:24.000 Little girls.

00:39:25.000 What does niños mean?

00:39:26.000 Little boys.

00:39:27.000 What does niña mean? 1.00

00:39:29.000 Little girl.

00:39:30.000 What does niñas mean?

00:39:31.000 Little girls.

00:39:32.000 But what if I said los niños and pointed to a group of school children?

00:39:35.000 What does that mean?

00:39:37.000 Boys and girls?

00:39:38.000 So the point I would always bring up is, the word that's supposed to be for boy could actually reference girls as well.

00:39:47.000 But women get an exclusive word just for themselves. 1.00

00:39:50.000 That's privilege.

00:39:51.000 So if you see a group of children, boys and girls, you would say, los niños.

00:39:55.000 But niño is masculine, yet women get included in the masculine as well, but men don't get included in the feminine.

00:40:01.000 So I'm not seriously complaining about the language, but I was actually talking, this was like 15 years ago, I was talking to a feminist who was complaining to this about me when I was a teenager in Chicago, and I was like, how is it fair that women get exclusive words to describe themselves, but the masculine words are used to describe both?

00:40:17.000 So women get both words? 1.00

00:40:19.000 I was being somewhat facetious to point out the language itself is not sexist.

00:40:24.000 It's just a way to describe things.

00:40:28.000 Look, man, you could make something up, and someone probably could do this.

00:40:31.000 Find something that could be presumably perceived as sexist, and then they'll latch onto it.

00:40:37.000 I don't know, start arguing that we should... Did you know that the modern banana was artificially selected?

00:40:43.000 So it did not evolve naturally.

00:40:46.000 Humans were picking the bananas that they liked and then only replanting the ones that were better and better.

00:40:52.000 Eventually, we end up with this big sugary wad that's not even got seeds in it.

00:40:56.000 You know what I mean?

00:40:57.000 Like, original bananas used to have all these different seeds.

00:41:00.000 It was very starchy and not sweet.

00:41:02.000 So what you gotta do now is you gotta tell them that's sexist. 0.99

00:41:04.000 It was the men choosing the dick-shaped fruit. 0.99

00:41:07.000 What? 0.99

00:41:07.000 Yeah, because of patriarchy. 0.99

00:41:08.000 It's about time we start artificially selecting bananas to not be shaped like... Wieners. 0.95

00:41:13.000 Wieners! 1.00

00:41:15.000 No, but it's the stupidest idea ever. 1.00

00:41:17.000 But you could make something like that up. 1.00

00:41:18.000 Oh, Spanish is sexist because there's gendered language? 0.97

00:41:21.000 Okay, well then like basically every romance language is sexist.

00:41:25.000 They're gonna get there.

00:41:25.000 They just want to focus on the brown people first.

00:41:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's the white progressives who know better for you, you know?

00:41:32.000 I mean, it's very condescending, like, honestly, like, I don't get, like, to actually, like, quote-unquote, like, triggered about stuff, but that actually upsets me just because, just, they, I understand what they're trying to do, but it just, it's just done in such a completely inconsiderate and not in a serious way, and it's self-defeating.

00:41:48.000 You mean taking the gender out of the language?

00:41:51.000 Well, right, yeah, because they're signaling that we don't know that we're being sexist and so they're coming to the rescue.

00:41:58.000 Why is comida, food, is feminine? 0.97

00:42:02.000 Is that fair?

00:42:02.000 It's sexist that food is for women.

00:42:05.000 Who cares?

00:42:06.000 It's just whatever.

00:42:09.000 I mean, that's why they don't give Arabic's interesting.

00:42:12.000 I don't want to mis-exemplify it, but I'm pretty sure in Arabic, if a woman is saying something or if a man is saying something, they use different language.

00:42:21.000 Or is it if you're talking to a woman, you use a different phrase than if you're talking to a man?

00:42:26.000 Yeah, sounds possible.

00:42:28.000 I would say very strange because I'm not used to it.

00:42:30.000 I grew up in a Polish area.

00:42:32.000 Chicago's got a very large Polish community.

00:42:33.000 Shoutouts to Kazimir Pulaski.

00:42:35.000 Saw a great tweet from Jack Posobiec about that.

00:42:38.000 But I didn't learn this until recently, and Luke confirmed, that they actually give women different last names.

00:42:44.000 So how does that work?

00:42:45.000 What is that?

00:42:45.000 What's that all about?

00:42:46.000 Well, it's feminine and male, so usually a Polish name is a ski for when it's for a man, and ska when it's for a woman.

00:42:55.000 So the patriarchy of Poland, they don't even give women the name of the men.

00:43:00.000 They say, no, no, you get a different one, you're a ska, not a ski.

00:43:02.000 Skis are only for men. 0.96

00:43:03.000 See, that's the patriarchy.

00:43:04.000 My dad likes ska music.

00:43:05.000 There you go.

00:43:08.000 The funny thing about it, though, is like, I don't know if that's sexist or not, but you could argue it is.

00:43:12.000 You can say it's not fair.

00:43:14.000 The men refuse to give the women their full name and give them the derivative, ska, instead of the true ski.

00:43:21.000 But then you could also argue like modern feminism in America, where it's like, I shouldn't have to take the last name of the man anyway.

00:43:26.000 There's always a way to frame the argument to make it seem like someone's being bigoted when it literally isn't.

00:43:31.000 Right.

00:43:31.000 It's just so true.

00:43:33.000 The word men is in the word women, so that's sexist.

00:43:36.000 The word he is in the word she, so that's sexist.

00:43:40.000 They've tried doing that.

00:43:41.000 They've tried doing that.

00:43:41.000 Yeah, with the Y. His story.

00:43:43.000 Yeah, with the Y. Yeah, yeah.

00:43:44.000 Womxn. 1.00

00:43:45.000 W-O-M-X-N. 1.00

00:43:46.000 Her story.

00:43:47.000 Her story.

00:43:48.000 You know, there's a really funny meme where someone said, like, for a while, feminists were claiming that wo, W-O, means belong to. 0.97

00:43:57.000 So wo-men means property of men. 0.60

00:43:59.000 But that's actually not true.

00:44:01.000 The original etymology, I believe, of the word is wereman and whiffman.

00:44:05.000 And so that's where werewolf comes from.

00:44:07.000 So a wereman was a male human and a whiffman was a female human. 0.96

00:44:12.000 And then over time, probably because men were the ones engaging in political affairs, the patriarchy, the were dropped off and just became men.

00:44:21.000 And then women retained the whiffman suffix or prefix or whatever. 0.91

00:44:26.000 So, long story short, evolution of language happens, and it's really easy to make anything seem like a conspiracy, or bigoted, or racist, and they exploit that.

00:44:38.000 They exploit sophistry to convince unsuspecting people, who are of good faith and goodwill, into doing for them.

00:44:47.000 And for those that think critically, to the chagrin of the New York Times, they don't fall for this stuff.

00:44:53.000 They end up watching shows like this. You guys are great.

00:44:55.000 But a lot of people just fall for CNN.

00:44:57.000 They'll turn it on and they'll be like, you know, Latinx and they'll go, yes. 0.99

00:45:00.000 I saw Disney also, when they were celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, they...

00:45:05.000 And that's the other thing too.

00:45:06.000 You can just say Hispanic.

00:45:09.000 Or Latin American.

00:45:12.000 I mean, there's other options.

00:45:14.000 Why do you have to go after that?

00:45:16.000 And again, I don't want to seem like I'm just triggered over words, but it's just the deeper mindset that they have of like, we know better than you do.

00:45:26.000 And if you go against us, you're I love it.

00:45:30.000 It's an ideology derived mostly from white leftists to tell minorities how to speak.

00:45:35.000 And I'm like, how do you define white supremacy?

00:45:39.000 A bunch of white academics of privilege telling minorities what to say and think and do?

00:45:43.000 I mean, that sounds like you know better. 0.80

00:45:45.000 It sounds a bit like white supremacy to me.

00:45:48.000 You know, I'm not going to tell you.

00:45:49.000 You can say whatever you want.

00:45:49.000 I don't know.

00:45:50.000 I don't think it's about gender.

00:45:52.000 I don't think it's about sex or anything like that.

00:45:53.000 I don't think it's about gender roles.

00:45:54.000 I think it's about controlling the narrative.

00:45:56.000 And this is something we've talked about in the past.

00:45:58.000 We've talked about changing the language so you can change stuff like the laws.

00:46:01.000 I think this is a matter of sneaky trying to force the evolution of a language to suit your own power goals.

00:46:08.000 I honestly think that's true.

00:46:10.000 We talked about how if you can change the definition of the word gender, then every law on the books becomes a different law.

00:46:18.000 So when the law was written, like the 1964 Civil Rights Act, or derivative policies in various jurisdictions, when they say, you made it discriminant on the basis of gender.

00:46:29.000 Well, back then they specifically meant male or female.

00:46:32.000 Today, the activist left in all these institutions has changed the definition of gender.

00:46:38.000 Once people accept it, they say, look, the law says you can't discriminate on the basis of gender.

00:46:41.000 Well, I'm, you know, hydro-gender, so you can't discriminate.

00:46:45.000 And then they show up dressed up in a full-body, you know, jacuzzi suit.

00:46:48.000 Or something, you know, more absurd than that.

00:46:49.000 Actually, that'd be pretty sweet.

00:46:51.000 Have you seen those jacuzzi suits?

00:46:52.000 Oh, is it real?

00:46:53.000 I think they might be real.

00:46:54.000 Maybe it's something I saw.

00:46:56.000 Maybe I dreamed it up.

00:46:58.000 That's like a fever dream right there.

00:46:59.000 You sure you don't have COVID?

00:46:59.000 No, I think I saw it on TV once.

00:47:01.000 I don't have COVID.

00:47:02.000 But you know what I mean?

00:47:03.000 I'm just trying to be absurd.

00:47:03.000 Like, if the law was originally intended to address males and females, And now that we've changed language, you're going to argue the law is different.

00:47:12.000 That's a way to exploit the system, to change laws without actually having the votes to change the laws. 0.70

00:47:18.000 It seems to be a lot of what they're doing.

00:47:19.000 I didn't think of it that way.

00:47:21.000 I do think a lot of it is just random though.

00:47:23.000 Like when they say Wimxn, do you guys know what Wimxn is?

00:47:26.000 No.

00:47:27.000 W-O-M-X-N. 1.00

00:47:29.000 Or Flux, instead of Folks.

00:47:32.000 Oh, folks with an X. Yeah, it's folks with an X. Why?

00:47:37.000 I don't know how that's... For no reason!

00:47:39.000 I saw that pop up like a month ago.

00:47:42.000 I was like, where did that come from?

00:47:43.000 Because they like putting X's on things.

00:47:45.000 It's like a little kid being like, I'm gonna call myself the Thunder Smasher.

00:47:50.000 That's my new name.

00:47:51.000 And the mom is like... 1.00

00:47:52.000 Billy, that's not your name.

00:47:54.000 Your name is William.

00:47:55.000 Stop calling yourself Thunder Smasher.

00:47:57.000 And you can't write on your exam at school Thunder Smasher anymore because your name is William.

00:48:01.000 It's like, no, I'm Thunder Smasher.

00:48:03.000 It's like a little kid just trying to be cool.

00:48:05.000 I'm going to put an X at the end of my word because X's are cool.

00:48:08.000 You want to know what's really funny about the letter X?

00:48:10.000 X means Christ in Christianity.

00:48:12.000 So I want everybody to think about that.

00:48:13.000 Every time they see the word Wemmickson or folks, think about the word Christ.

00:48:18.000 I've been thinking about religion because the people that want to crush the patriarchy or undo this, there's something to it.

00:48:25.000 Because like, if you look at the way the Bible is written, Eve came from Adam's rib in the story, like the man.

00:48:32.000 Everyone knows that humans are born from women.

00:48:35.000 That's just the way things are.

00:48:36.000 Wasn't Lilith first?

00:48:37.000 I don't know.

00:48:37.000 She was Satan's wife?

00:48:40.000 Oh.

00:48:40.000 Wasn't there a woman before Eve?

00:48:41.000 No.

00:48:42.000 Really?

00:48:42.000 Are you sure?

00:48:42.000 What was I reading?

00:48:44.000 Yeah, they wrote the book for this mystical woman who was created from a dude's rib.

00:48:48.000 Like, look, the man came first.

00:48:50.000 The man is the center in the beginning.

00:48:52.000 He's the protector.

00:48:53.000 No, he was born from a woman.

00:48:55.000 They just didn't write her into the story.

00:48:57.000 I was right.

00:48:57.000 And so these people want to kind of trash that.

00:48:59.000 I mean, it's really a bunch of old white dudes wrote the Bible and like had the Council of Nicaea and rewrote, took out what they wanted to make it tell a story to give men power. 0.73

00:49:09.000 But the women are the most powerful, like the women are the center of the family. 1.00

00:49:12.000 They are the creator of the human.

00:49:14.000 And so I see these people wanting to kind of bend or break things back to the way, a different way.

00:49:21.000 I don't know.

00:49:21.000 I just have to, you know, interject.

00:49:23.000 I was right.

00:49:23.000 Go ahead, interject.

00:49:24.000 Lilith appears as Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same clay as Adam.

00:49:29.000 This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam's ribs.

00:49:33.000 Lilith is the legend of the first woman, is a 19th century rendition of the old rabbinical legend of Lilith, the first woman, whose life story was dropped, unrecorded from the early world, and whose home, hope, and Eden were passed to another woman.

00:49:45.000 So it's not in the Bible.

00:49:47.000 Right.

00:49:47.000 Well it does.

00:49:50.000 It's non-biblical. 0.87

00:49:51.000 So maybe it's an old rabbinical legend.

00:49:53.000 Interesting tale.

00:49:56.000 How did we get here?

00:49:57.000 I don't know.

00:49:57.000 We're talking about like gender language and like is it male dominated?

00:50:03.000 Did they build those languages?

00:50:04.000 I don't really know the history of romance languages.

00:50:06.000 We've got another story in the similar vein of the creepy school.

00:50:10.000 Check this out.

00:50:11.000 We've got, from the Daily Mail, Buffalo Public School claims, all white people perpetuate systemic racism and force kindergartners to watch video of dead black children to warn them about racist police and state-sanctioned violence.

00:50:25.000 Fatima Morel is Associate Superintendent for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives at Buffalo Public Schools in New York. 0.95

00:50:32.000 Morale has introduced a new curriculum, lesson plans, and teacher training.

00:50:36.000 The teachers are encouraged to be more woke in their efforts at anti-racism.

00:50:41.000 Morale suggests teaching kindergartner classes about children killed by police, with videos featuring Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, and others.

00:50:48.000 Older pupils learn all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism.

00:50:54.000 A whistleblower told City Journal about the new lesson plans.

00:50:58.000 Morel has yet to comment on the controversial new teaching programs.

00:51:02.000 I wonder if they have some photos.

00:51:04.000 So, there's one post where it says, I am Ayanna, I was sleeping.

00:51:07.000 I am Trayvon, I was walking.

00:51:09.000 Anti-racism, a powerful collection of anti-racist policies that lead to racial equity and are substantiated by anti-racist ideas.

00:51:17.000 They're indoctrinating kids.

00:51:19.000 They're teaching kids, this is illegal.

00:51:22.000 The 1964 Civil Rights Act says you can't discriminate on the basis of race.

00:51:25.000 These people, they're being referred to as neo-racist.

00:51:28.000 I just consider them like... Good old-fashioned racism. 0.81

00:51:31.000 Yes, good old-fashioned racist.

00:51:32.000 It's just, it's the same thing.

00:51:33.000 It didn't change.

00:51:34.000 It's still racism.

00:51:35.000 They're literally like, that race is bad. 1.00

00:51:37.000 Okay, well, then you're a racist.

00:51:39.000 They're doing it in schools.

00:51:40.000 Imagine the psychology of a small child hearing this and seeing just the traumatic imagery of death and then that being pushed along with of course the big propaganda.

00:51:51.000 We have to also understand they use a lot of graphic images to push this because when you're emotionally shocked, when you're in a constant state of fear, you don't critically think.

00:52:02.000 And for for kids to see something traumatic and then be told, hey, if you're white, you're perpetrating systemic racism, no matter who you are, what you do, because of the way you were born. 0.93

00:52:12.000 That is just absolutely absurd, sickening and crazy and destroying the youth of this nation. 0.95

00:52:17.000 So there's this image that we've talked about a bit before, and I'm sure most of you are familiar with.

00:52:21.000 It's the equity fence, which is this meme.

00:52:24.000 It's fairly viral, and it looks like this one got a graphical update.

00:52:27.000 Look at that.

00:52:28.000 Very nice.

00:52:29.000 On the left, it says, equality.

00:52:30.000 There is a tall man, a medium-sized man, and a short... well, I don't know if they're men or women.

00:52:35.000 They are!

00:52:35.000 and they're all standing on a crate. The short person can't see the fence is in

00:52:40.000 the way. The medium person can see over the fence and the tall person can

00:52:45.000 clearly see. The next panel on the right says equity. Now the tall person has no

00:52:49.000 crate so he but he can still see he's tall. The person in the middle still has

00:52:53.000 one crate but the short person now has two and now the short person can see the

00:52:56.000 baseball game as well. My favorite response to this is from Libertarians 1.00

00:52:59.000 where they say they're all stealing. They are. They're all stealing because there's

00:53:03.000 you can pay for tickets but I want to point something out.

00:53:05.000 When they're teaching kids about this stuff and they show this image

00:53:08.000 what they're not explaining to the kids because all the people here are our

00:53:11.000 brown skin they're all of the same race. What they're not telling you is in on

00:53:15.000 the side that says equity where you have the three people standing up.

00:53:19.000 Imagine the tall person is of one particular race. 0.99

00:53:23.000 Then imagine someone from the government taking away from that person and giving it to someone else based on their race.

00:53:30.000 Now imagine that the person who is tall is actually a black person and the person who is short is a white person. 0.92

00:53:36.000 Would you justify the government coming and taking from the black community to give to the white community?

00:53:41.000 Their argument is, well, we just know who is quantifiably privileged or underprivileged.

00:53:47.000 But you don't know.

00:53:49.000 Would it make sense for the government to take away from, like, a working-class, you know, white family where the dad is a carpenter and the mom is a car salesperson, and they take money from them and give it to Oprah's family?

00:54:05.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:54:06.000 We even had one of the head board members of the New York City Education Organization publicly come out and say if there's a rich or middle class black person and a poor white kid, resources have to go to the middle class rich black person because of systemic historic racism.

00:54:23.000 So we have Literal heads of education in New York City arguing for this and there's a third meme that's related to the meme that you have up there and it's a third panel and it says when government gets involved and it shows the tall person and the middle person getting their legs chopped off.

00:54:42.000 As a representation of whenever the government gets involved that I tweeted a long time ago, which I think is also perfectly representative of what actually happens when the government tries to solve a problem that usually they're the ones that perpetrated it and created it.

00:54:55.000 They usually make it a lot worse.

00:54:58.000 I can't find it.

00:54:58.000 I'm trying to find it.

00:54:59.000 There's a bunch of silly versions of this, though.

00:55:02.000 There's, like, Liberation. 0.61

00:55:03.000 There's no fence anymore.

00:55:04.000 I like that one because it makes no sense.

00:55:06.000 Because there's, like, so does the outfield go forever?

00:55:09.000 So it's like the outfielders can keep running and there's no home run.

00:55:13.000 It's all in RBI.

00:55:14.000 Yeah, the rules don't matter.

00:55:16.000 They're teaching kids this stuff.

00:55:17.000 And they're not teaching kids enough to explain anything to them about what it really means.

00:55:21.000 It's just indoctrination.

00:55:23.000 These kids are going to grow up as dogmatic tribalists.

00:55:27.000 I'll tell you what's funny.

00:55:29.000 Many on the left had similar things about religion, you know, back in the day.

00:55:32.000 Kids growing up with religious indoctrination.

00:55:34.000 Oh, it's a problem.

00:55:35.000 I don't care.

00:55:35.000 Sure, fine.

00:55:36.000 I'll tell you what. 0.99

00:55:37.000 It doesn't justify you becoming the dogmatic religious lunatics. 0.97

00:55:41.000 But I tell you, it's really crazy watching this cult spread. 0.85

00:55:46.000 There's an organization called Free Press.

00:55:48.000 The Free Press is what it's called.

00:55:49.000 FreePress.net.

00:55:51.000 I used to know these guys.

00:55:52.000 I actually only a few years ago was sitting down with one of the guys from the Free Press talking about freedom of speech, freedom of the press, our ability to communicate.

00:56:02.000 And then in the past year, two years, the organization has called for banning and censoring misinformation and the far-right and political ideas they don't like.

00:56:11.000 And I'm like, How have you gone so insane with this cult that an organization called The Free Press would launch a campaign to censor people based on their opinions?

00:56:22.000 Well, we saw Democrats in Congress recently write that letter talking about banning Fox News and One America.

00:56:29.000 It's just, it's really, really concerning.

00:56:31.000 And Senator Carlson, he's been Yeah.

00:56:34.000 one of the main targets from Media Matters and what have you.

00:56:38.000 And so he's really been sounding the alarm on that.

00:56:41.000 And it really is becoming a big problem in terms of rhetoric that we're seeing from people

00:56:47.000 in power.

00:56:48.000 Yeah.

00:56:49.000 And so it's just it's it's completely absurd just because it's CNN and MSNBC.

00:56:54.000 They do.

00:56:55.000 How do you how do you fight this kind of thing?

00:56:56.000 It's like a religion.

00:56:58.000 Homeschool.

00:56:59.000 This, I mean, reading this article really, really made me proud of understanding the

00:57:04.000 larger homeschool network in New Hampshire that happens in that particular state.

00:57:08.000 It's one of the largest homeschooling states and also the smartest state compared to, of

00:57:13.000 course, IQs of other states, which tells you a lot.

00:57:16.000 Because when you give up your child to the institution of the state for, quote, education,

00:57:22.000 you're not really getting educated.

00:57:23.000 You're getting indoctrinated into the propaganda.

00:57:25.000 This is the newest level of propaganda that they're introducing people so they could go along with their bigger agenda, the newer agenda, but of course there was an older agenda.

00:57:34.000 The school system has failed our Children, it has failed me.

00:57:39.000 It has failed a large number of individuals, and it's not there to uplift people.

00:57:42.000 It's not there to help people find their skills, their passions, their loves.

00:57:47.000 It's not there to help people in their journeys in life.

00:57:50.000 It's there to keep them in institutions so they could be good factory workers, and that's what school systems were built on by the Rockefeller Institute, trying to, of course, rinse and repeat, create good factory workers.

00:58:01.000 Was it Michael Malice who said that one of the only places a child will experience violence will be in a school?

00:58:06.000 Yes, that was Michael, yeah.

00:58:08.000 And I'm not sure if it was Michael who said this, but someone said they're effectively prisons.

00:58:12.000 Yeah, that's what he said, yeah.

00:58:13.000 Yeah, Michael said that.

00:58:14.000 And I agree.

00:58:16.000 I mean, I think schools, public schools particularly.

00:58:19.000 I've been to private school.

00:58:20.000 Private school, I went to Catholic school for the first, you know, up until fifth grade, and then sixth grade I transferred to public school.

00:58:25.000 Public school is just awful.

00:58:27.000 There's, like, limited supervision.

00:58:28.000 They don't care.

00:58:28.000 The kids are not really learning things.

00:58:30.000 It was just really, really bad.

00:58:31.000 I mean, I saw extreme amounts of violence in New York City.

00:58:36.000 There was a kid that got shot in my classroom.

00:58:39.000 Like, I can't even go into just some of the graphic details of what I saw growing up there, but essentially, when you really look at it, it's run like a prison.

00:58:47.000 The same companies that build the schools are the same companies that also build the prisons.

00:58:51.000 I remember visiting my friend in prison just a few months ago and being like, This looks a lot like my school!

00:58:56.000 And then I remember like, oh yeah, they work for the same kind of contracting organizations that build these larger institutions.

00:59:02.000 And it's not just the construction of these buildings, it's also the way that they're run.

00:59:07.000 It's also the way that teachers bark orders at students, scream at them, tell them to stay in line, tell them to regurgitate whatever they say, and if they don't have the same opinions as they do, they get punished.

00:59:19.000 And essentially, even in college, if you have an opinion that a professor doesn't like, they're going to give you a worse grade than if you had an opinion that actually disagreed with them.

00:59:29.000 Think about where this school stuff leads to, right?

00:59:31.000 Check it out.

00:59:32.000 You're going to have, right now, you got all these teacher unions saying, we're not reopening.

00:59:36.000 We're not going to go back to work.

00:59:37.000 We don't want to go back to school, but pay us.

00:59:39.000 Sure.

00:59:40.000 They say, but we want to make sure the schools are safe.

00:59:42.000 I really just don't believe you.

00:59:43.000 Fine.

00:59:43.000 Whatever.

00:59:44.000 They don't want to reopen schools.

00:59:45.000 Wealthier families are just homeschooling their kids and they're putting them in learning pods where they hire tutors.

00:59:52.000 The tutor gets 20 to 30 kids.

00:59:54.000 That tutor is probably making bank, to be honest, because all these parents are now like, well, pay a hundred bucks a week or something.

01:00:00.000 And they got 30 kids.

01:00:01.000 So these tutors are just raking in the dough, teaching a various group of kids throughout the day.

01:00:06.000 These kids are getting one-on-one education in a small classroom with a professional, you know, educator to some degree.

01:00:12.000 These kids, when they get older, they're gonna be smarter, better, faster, stronger, all of these things because they're getting, well, they're getting invested in.

01:00:20.000 These other kids who are going to these schools and are being indoctrinated are going to be, well, they're being kept out of school.

01:00:26.000 They're being given very awful education.

01:00:30.000 They're getting these Zoom classes.

01:00:31.000 Most of the kids don't even pay attention.

01:00:33.000 They're not going to school.

01:00:34.000 The teachers don't care.

01:00:35.000 The teachers don't want to be there.

01:00:36.000 The teachers are arguing, keeping the school shut down. 0.99

01:00:38.000 And then when they are there, they're getting indoctrinated with garbage. 0.99

01:00:40.000 So what happens? 0.98

01:00:41.000 You're going to end up with two 20-year-olds.

01:00:44.000 One 20-year-old from the pods.

01:00:46.000 From the learning pods.

01:00:47.000 Not the dystopian pods.

01:00:49.000 And they're going to be sitting there, and they're going to be socially savvy.

01:00:53.000 They'll have grown up around adults.

01:00:54.000 They'll have learned the intricacies of, you know, normal human living.

01:00:58.000 And they're going to have a conversation with an employer and say, you know, I work very hard.

01:01:02.000 I was, you know, I ran my family's business when I was 18.

01:01:04.000 I did this.

01:01:06.000 I was educated at these institutions.

01:01:07.000 I did homeschool for these years.

01:01:09.000 And they're going to be like, oh, this person's articulate, well thought out.

01:01:13.000 I think they can bring a lot to my company.

01:01:14.000 And they're gonna look at the next resume, and the person's gonna be like, well, I am a person of color, and that means you have to hire me, and I didn't go to school because the teachers didn't want to show up, but I did learn about equity from watching MTV videos on YouTube, and they're gonna be like, uh, I'm not gonna hire you.

01:01:33.000 Like, you don't bring value.

01:01:34.000 Now the one thing that could change that of course is if we get really extreme leftist

01:01:39.000 draconian woke policy where the companies like in California are forced to bring on

01:01:44.000 you know women and minorities to their board. 0.98

01:01:47.000 So that's like if your companies have a certain size you have to fire a white guy and then 0.90

01:01:50.000 hire a woman of color or something. 1.00

01:01:52.000 So then maybe that will actually happen where you're gonna have people show up and they're

01:01:55.000 gonna be like well you have to hire me so there you go and then you end up like Venezuela.

01:02:00.000 I mean I know Venezuela is kind of the go-to example but in Venezuela man they make jobs 0.98

01:02:04.000 for the sake of making jobs.

01:02:06.000 You know they don't need a job well we'll just make it and just there could be a job

01:02:09.000 for one person.

01:02:10.000 Let's say the job the example I often give is when I was trying to buy a cell phone in

01:02:14.000 in Venezuela.

01:02:14.000 Venezuela.

01:02:15.000 It was like five different people I had to talk to to buy a cell phone.

01:02:19.000 Because they just created the jobs, because they need to have jobs.

01:02:22.000 In the U.S., you walk into a T-Mobile or an AT&T or a Sprint, there's one person, you're like, yo, I want a phone.

01:02:27.000 I'm like, okay.

01:02:27.000 They pop, pop the phone, they sign you up, you give them the credit card, they say bye-bye.

01:02:32.000 The amount of mandatory signage that businesses need in Venezuela is absolutely ridiculous.

01:02:39.000 At least they have to dedicate an entire wall to all the permits, to all the regulations, to all the rules, and also a huge no-smoking sign and a huge no-guns-are-welcome-here sign in Caracas, Venezuela, at one time the murder capital of the world.

01:02:57.000 It's not anymore?

01:02:58.000 It fluctuates between other Latin American countries, but when I went there, it was the

01:03:04.000 number one murder capital in the entire world.

01:03:07.000 They outlawed people having firearms, and guess what?

01:03:12.000 Homicides through firearms skyrocketed because all the people were disarmed, and only the 0.75

01:03:16.000 criminals had the firearms.

01:03:18.000 Even private security, in some instances, wasn't allowed to have firearms, and the police

01:03:22.000 officers were working with, of course, politically motivated institutions and groups that protected

01:03:28.000 Meanwhile, other people were left to, of course, the gangs.

01:03:32.000 And I forgot the exact name of this one motorcycle gang that was wrecking havoc on a whole bunch of communities.

01:03:37.000 But but again, when you go to Venezuela, it's been wrecked by absolute violence to the point where police officers and other authorities were literally telling me, hey, if you're driving at night and there's a red light, Don't worry.

01:03:49.000 Don't stop.

01:03:50.000 Just go right up ahead.

01:03:52.000 I was a dirty smoker at the time too and the hotel was like, no, no, no, no, no smoke here.

01:03:57.000 I'm like, okay, I'll go over there. 0.66

01:03:58.000 They're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. 0.96

01:04:00.000 You're going to get killed there.

01:04:01.000 I'm like, what do you want me to do? 0.99

01:04:03.000 I'm going to smoke too now. 1.00

01:04:04.000 Screw you, man. 1.00

01:04:05.000 Like call the cops. 1.00

01:04:06.000 Now I'm all nervous.

01:04:07.000 I'm even more nervous.

01:04:08.000 I don't smoke anymore.

01:04:10.000 That was a bad phase that I had.

01:04:11.000 Don't smoke.

01:04:12.000 It's really bad for you.

01:04:13.000 But again, it just shows you the utter lunacy of more government.

01:04:16.000 I gotta do this.

01:04:17.000 I gotta do this.

01:04:20.000 It is more government, but it's also how the left has become the moral authoritarian.

01:04:23.000 So let me start this segment by asking you guys a question.

01:04:26.000 Which political party, pop quiz everybody, was trying to get content and music banned in the 90s?

01:04:33.000 Which political faction?

01:04:34.000 The Republicans.

01:04:35.000 It was the Republicans!

01:04:37.000 I was born in 96, so I don't remember.

01:04:40.000 Well, late 90s.

01:04:41.000 I remember, so Magic the Gathering, for instance, we actually have this card downstairs called Unholy Strength.

01:04:47.000 Magic the Gathering, of course, is a strategic card game with fantasy themes.

01:04:51.000 And there's an image of a guy with a pentagram behind him.

01:04:54.000 And it was conservative religious families who complained and forced the company to remove the image of the pentagram because it was satanic.

01:05:01.000 Check out this story.

01:05:03.000 Illinois lawmaker seeks ban of grand theft auto game following rise in carjackings.

01:05:09.000 And which political party does this Illinois lawmaker who is trying to ban a video game belong to?

01:05:14.000 What would you guess?

01:05:15.000 Well, the party affiliation is not in the title, so... I know.

01:05:19.000 So the rule is Democrat.

01:05:21.000 That's the rule.

01:05:22.000 I think he's a statist.

01:05:25.000 Is he a statist?

01:05:25.000 Yes.

01:05:26.000 He's a Democrat.

01:05:29.000 A Democrat is trying to get a video game ban.

01:05:31.000 This is it.

01:05:32.000 I'm sorry, everybody.

01:05:33.000 First of all, when was the last Grand Theft Auto game made? 2013?

01:05:37.000 No, no, more recent than that.

01:05:39.000 GTA 5, 2016?

01:05:44.000 But I remember seeing so many Republicans when one of the Grand Theft Autos had a scene with a working woman.

01:05:51.000 2013!

01:05:51.000 Is it really?

01:05:52.000 They ported it to PC later.

01:05:54.000 Yeah, but I remember the outcry.

01:05:56.000 Wait, wait, wait.

01:05:57.000 GTA 5 came out for PS3?

01:06:00.000 Is that really the latest Grand Theft Auto?

01:06:03.000 It's been a hot minute.

01:06:03.000 Yeah, it's been a while.

01:06:05.000 It's been a hot minute.

01:06:06.000 So listen, listen, listen.

01:06:07.000 You got a guy, a Democrat, trying to ban a video game that's, what, going on like eight years old because carjackings went up?

01:06:15.000 I blame you, Ian.

01:06:16.000 I see the leader.

01:06:16.000 Because you're the one It doesn't make people want to carjack cars, it just makes it easier to do.

01:06:22.000 That's what the evidence points to.

01:06:23.000 I think he watched a video with Ian describing what he said and came to that conclusion.

01:06:27.000 But the one super chatter said, like, video game violence.

01:06:29.000 I was like, do video games make people commit more violence?

01:06:32.000 He was like, no, it doesn't make people want to do it, it just makes it easier to pull the trigger.

01:06:36.000 That's why they train soldiers.

01:06:37.000 Exactly.

01:06:38.000 Yeah, we talked to somebody about that.

01:06:40.000 They say the military will use these... The guy from The Ranch.

01:06:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06:46.000 It doesn't make people more likely to.

01:06:48.000 It makes it easier for those, too.

01:06:49.000 So that I understand.

01:06:50.000 Family Guy did a whole cutaway about that.

01:06:52.000 About video games?

01:06:53.000 Well, specifically Grand Theft Auto, where Pierre loses his memory, and it's like, oh, just here, play this game so you can remember how to drive, and then you see him carjacking somewhere.

01:07:00.000 Stealing money.

01:07:01.000 So this Illinois guy, Rep.

01:07:02.000 Marcus Evans Jr., has introduced a bill that would amend a pre-existing law banning certain video games from being sold to minors.

01:07:09.000 His amendment would ban the sale of games with subject matter including motor vehicle theft with a driver or passenger present.

01:07:15.000 The amendment has yet to be voted on.

01:07:17.000 There have been renewed debates around the ban after carjackings among young people have gone up recently.

01:07:24.000 The bill would prohibit the sale of some of these games that promote the activities that we're suffering from in our communities.

01:07:28.000 A 16-year-old was arrested and charged with carjacking on Monday.

01:07:31.000 Days ago, there were two 15-year-olds arrested.

01:07:33.000 I gotta just say, I really don't think these kids are playing GTA and being like, dude I got an idea!

01:07:39.000 I don't know.

01:07:45.000 We live in a generation of Tide Pods.

01:07:47.000 That's true.

01:07:48.000 Nobody was eating Tide Pods.

01:07:49.000 That was not real.

01:07:51.000 But when it comes to intelligence by and large, and it comes to our education system, we are failing.

01:07:56.000 That's the bigger point I'm making here.

01:07:58.000 For sure.

01:07:59.000 But also, most importantly, especially with this Grand Theft Auto thing, I believe it was Republicans that made it so you needed to show an ID card to show that you're old enough to buy certain video games just a few years ago.

01:08:11.000 I remember there was such a massive outcry against GTA.

01:08:15.000 There was one particular scene with a working woman that everyone was screaming about, and they actually came pretty close in banning the video game a couple years ago.

01:08:23.000 So it's just absolutely absurd to still see this nonsensical argument being made right now, but it's the perfect representation of what government is. 0.99

01:08:32.000 Absurd and stupid. 0.99

01:08:35.000 I don't know about that Republican ID thing. 1.00

01:08:37.000 I just tried to Google it.

01:08:38.000 I couldn't find it.

01:08:39.000 But I do have this story where The Verge writes, Trump and Republicans continue to blame video games for their failures on gun control.

01:08:45.000 They say there's no evidence, but it's a talking point that has been repeated since Columbine.

01:08:49.000 Amazing.

01:08:50.000 Following two, uh, we'll call them mass tragic events, they say lawmakers and government officials offers thought and prayers to take no action.

01:08:57.000 House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox and Friends that video games dehumanize individuals.

01:09:01.000 In a speech today, President Trump pointed at video games specifically as the root cause of these events.

01:09:07.000 We must stop the glorification of violence in our society, he said.

01:09:10.000 This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace.

01:09:14.000 Sounds like, Ian, when you said before that, you know, video games were leading this, you were far right.

01:09:20.000 I would like to ask Julio about this, because you're actually in the military.

01:09:24.000 You're in the Reserves.

01:09:25.000 What branch of the military are you in?

01:09:26.000 Marine Corps.

01:09:26.000 And what do you think about violence in video games and how it associates?

01:09:30.000 I mean, there's... I don't think that's true, in the sense that that's the cause for it.

01:09:36.000 I mean, you have to look at just the whole environment and obviously who the person is.

01:09:41.000 I mean, I think in terms of desensitizing, maybe, but in terms of it being the trigger behind it, no.

01:09:49.000 More like encouraging it.

01:09:51.000 Encouraging it, yeah, because you separate the two.

01:09:54.000 Well, it is an interesting point that Trump and Republicans were then bringing up, dehumanizing, essentially.

01:09:59.000 Like, we learned from, it was the fellow from Fortitude, is that what you were saying?

01:10:04.000 Yeah, Fortitude Ranch.

01:10:05.000 He was saying the military So, actually, I brought this up because there's this movie called The Men Who Stare at Goats.

01:10:11.000 Yeah.

01:10:11.000 And it was this, like, project where they tried doing psychic spies.

01:10:13.000 It's a real thing, apparently.

01:10:15.000 Yeah.

01:10:15.000 And in the movie, you've got, uh, what's the guy's name?

01:10:18.000 Is it Jeff Bridges, the actor?

01:10:19.000 Is that his name?

01:10:20.000 I don't know.

01:10:21.000 Which one?

01:10:22.000 The actor in the movie, The Men Who Stare at Goats.

01:10:24.000 They're talking about how he was in Vietnam, and this, like, Vietnamese woman runs out into a field, and all of the American soldiers They don't shoot, and then he's like, what are you doing?

01:10:33.000 Start shooting!

01:10:34.000 And they shoot up, to purposefully miss.

01:10:37.000 And so the dude who was here said, the way they combat that is using active targets, like, they used to just do like a target, now they do a shape like a person, and they do first-person video games.

01:10:48.000 So that now it's in the people's minds of what a person looks like.

01:10:51.000 So the general idea is that video games don't make people more violent.

01:10:55.000 But a violent person would... This would help them, essentially, if they were going to commit an act.

01:11:00.000 They would not be averse to shooting a person.

01:11:03.000 Right?

01:11:05.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:11:07.000 I mean, again, I just have a hard time believing that that's the main factor that's going to drive somebody.

01:11:15.000 I mean, you look at the history, I mean, you don't want to talk about, be careful when talking about mental illness, but Adam Lanza from the Newtown.

01:11:27.000 I mean, there's just so many other things, although I think he did play video games, though.

01:11:32.000 Well, I think everybody plays video games.

01:11:34.000 They used to claim Dungeons and Dragons was going to make kids go crazy.

01:11:34.000 Well, right, right.

01:11:38.000 It's violence.

01:11:39.000 I mean, I will say, because from the riots that I covered a lot, I mean, it was just back to back to back, and I found myself being very bored.

01:11:50.000 And so I think there's an adrenaline aspect for certain high-stress events and not necessarily school shootings but I can see that because there were some stuff that would happen that I would see and report on and it would be sad and be tragic but I'd have a hard time finding emotion behind it just because I had seen it over and over and over personally.

01:12:11.000 That'd be kind of the desensitization aspect and so like I would recognize that it would like okay like this is bad and this is sad but It didn't have the same effect the very first they do this to many police departments They play very violent riot footage and officers getting hurt right before they go out I've seen the many reports of this before they go out cover many protests or a lot of them are jacked up a lot of them are you know ready to To, you know, prepare to defend themselves.

01:12:38.000 And most protests, you know, usually don't get violent.

01:12:40.000 They're becoming more and more violent.

01:12:43.000 But again, psychologically, the video is such an important component in making people realize that there's something else bigger out there.

01:12:52.000 It plays on the imagination, but it also plays on your visceral senses, where you get to see it and you get inundated in it in such a way where you believe you're actually in it.

01:13:01.000 So video is one of the biggest forms of propaganda that we should be, of course, made aware of, and especially questioned when certain traumatic videos are being played over and over and over again, especially on mainstream media.

01:13:12.000 Dude, I was watching, you were watching a movie yesterday or something, and it was like a guy just hitting another guy, just beating on his face.

01:13:19.000 Oh, Taken!

01:13:19.000 Taken.

01:13:20.000 Taken 3.

01:13:21.000 Yet another violent movie.

01:13:23.000 I mean, we're talking about so much violence in the movie industry.

01:13:26.000 It is punching, even all the Marvel movies, just punching and beating and throwing and blasting.

01:13:31.000 Listen, listen, listen.

01:13:32.000 Everything, like 90, I'm just giving an exaggerated number, but the overwhelming majority of content is violence.

01:13:39.000 Guns, guns, guns.

01:13:40.000 Every Marvel movie, every Marvel, these are some of the biggest movies ever made, literally all of them violence.

01:13:45.000 The Mandalorian.

01:13:46.000 Mandalorian, also all violence. 0.82

01:13:48.000 It was great.

01:13:49.000 Game of Thrones, violence, war, video games, violence, conflict, the biggest games.

01:13:53.000 Look, even Minecraft has violence in it to a certain degree.

01:13:57.000 It's not the worst.

01:13:58.000 I shouldn't rag on Minecraft.

01:13:59.000 But you look at some of the biggest games.

01:14:00.000 Fortnite.

01:14:01.000 Violence.

01:14:01.000 I don't know if people are still playing Fortnite.

01:14:03.000 Grand Theft Auto.

01:14:04.000 The game where you drive around, run people over, and do crazy things.

01:14:07.000 There is this component of video games that conflict is One of the big components of our entertainment.

01:14:14.000 I wonder why that is.

01:14:15.000 I'd love to talk to a psychologist or, you know, a psychologist about this.

01:14:18.000 What about violence is, like, such an entertaining value for us?

01:14:22.000 Is it because it's conflict?

01:14:23.000 Is it because it's risk?

01:14:24.000 It's a threat?

01:14:25.000 It scares you and then you overcome it?

01:14:27.000 What we've seen from this is there have been feminists who want to create what people call walking sims, walking simulators. 1.00

01:14:34.000 Video games where it's like your mission is to go and hold hands with someone and earn points because they want to get away from that.

01:14:40.000 But people don't like it.

01:14:41.000 People like, even if you go back to Mario, like the original Mario NES, you play a dude who runs around punching bricks and stomping turtles and then kicking them.

01:14:50.000 It's like, it's fast-paced geometric competition, kind of like throwing baseballs at each other, like dodgeball.

01:14:56.000 But it doesn't have to be shooting someone and killing them, it just is in the visage of that.

01:15:01.000 So, like, I think why people like it is because it's fast-paced geometry.

01:15:04.000 Splatoon.

01:15:04.000 And you're learning how, like, what's that?

01:15:06.000 Splatoon.

01:15:07.000 What's Splatoon?

01:15:08.000 You are a bunch of, like, squid critter people and you sprayed paint on them.

01:15:12.000 Yeah, same fast-paced geometry.

01:15:14.000 So that's what we're really learning is how to interact.

01:15:17.000 Hand-eye coordination.

01:15:19.000 We're challenging each other to see who's got faster reflexes.

01:15:22.000 But it's in the guise of a violent gun.

01:15:25.000 You know, it's the AR.

01:15:26.000 It's all these realistic guns.

01:15:28.000 The graphics are getting so realistic that if you're in it in VR, you'll really maybe start to believe you're killing someone.

01:15:34.000 It's possible.

01:15:35.000 I got it.

01:15:36.000 Right now, the big problem is not the Republicans for the most part.

01:15:40.000 It's a Democrat who wants to ban these video games.

01:15:43.000 The only thing we have to do to make sure that nobody comes and bans our video games is make all of the bad guys have Donald Trump's face.

01:15:51.000 There it is.

01:15:51.000 Because think about it.

01:15:53.000 Republicans might actually complain and say, I demand this game banned, but who's going to listen to the Republicans?

01:15:58.000 They can't get anything done.

01:15:59.000 They'll be like, I am upset about the, you know, these games got to get banned.

01:16:02.000 I'll say, get out of here. 0.99

01:16:02.000 Shut up. 0.99

01:16:04.000 And then if you make all the, all, all of the NPCs, any character that could die has Donald Trump's face. 0.99

01:16:10.000 The left will be like, I see nothing wrong with this.

01:16:12.000 All violent.

01:16:13.000 You made the most gruesome and brutal, violent video game.

01:16:15.000 Like Doom was legit, like super violent, but just, you know, make it Trump and they'll, they'll allow it.

01:16:21.000 They'll stop complaining, but they'll immediately come to the defense.

01:16:24.000 Someone should make a mod for GTA where everyone's face is Donald Trump and show it to that Democrat and he'll go. 0.52

01:16:31.000 Oh, you know what?

01:16:32.000 I think this game is actually okay.

01:16:33.000 I withdraw my bill.

01:16:36.000 I'm a huge video game nerd, as you probably know.

01:16:39.000 If you don't know, I'm a huge video game nerd.

01:16:41.000 Here we go.

01:16:42.000 I got really mixed feelings about video game violence.

01:16:45.000 Like, I wasn't allowed to watch violent movies growing up.

01:16:47.000 Yes, I'm here.

01:16:48.000 Because they didn't want to twist my mind, my parents.

01:16:50.000 I saw Nightmare on Elm Street 2 when I was like 10, and I remember the veins getting sucked out of that guy.

01:16:55.000 Stuck in my brain for months for years still to this day I can see it his skin turning white as his veins were getting it was so gross like just messed me up and that was one thing that I saw as a kid I was like I wasn't allowed to watch Tom and Jerry or the Three Stooges or Married with Children like I was And so I'm aware, like, the violence, man, how it can brainwash you, but I don't want to ban it.

01:17:16.000 I don't know.

01:17:16.000 It is interesting.

01:17:18.000 I think, you know, we do have to be careful about what kids are watching and are doing, but that's not incumbent upon government.

01:17:25.000 It's the parents.

01:17:27.000 It's a family role thing.

01:17:28.000 We were just talking about, there's a video of Ron Paul that went viral, and it is one of the most glorious videos of Ron Paul ever.

01:17:34.000 Luke was like, I've seen that video a million times.

01:17:36.000 I just retweeted it.

01:17:37.000 I said, Ron Paul is a legend.

01:17:38.000 It's basically a bunch of people who are like, ban drugs!

01:17:42.000 Say no!

01:17:42.000 And Ron Paul's like, government shouldn't be the one deciding what you do with your life.

01:17:46.000 But there's this really glorious moment where he's arguing with a guy.

01:17:49.000 And he goes, you're not going to get morality from the government.

01:17:52.000 The government can't make you a better person.

01:17:54.000 Why don't they put you on a diet?

01:17:55.000 You're a little overweight.

01:17:56.000 And everyone's like, oh boy.

01:17:58.000 And I was just like, yes, Ron Paul!

01:18:00.000 He's right!

01:18:02.000 Look, if you're like, the government should tell us what we can or can't do, it's like, okay, well, they should tell you to put down the fork.

01:18:06.000 No, that's not the way it works.

01:18:08.000 So when it comes to video games, when it comes to South Park, when it comes to Beavis and Butthead, whatever these shows are, because, you know, Beavis and Butthead, believe it or not, is coming back, all right?

01:18:16.000 And parents have complained about it.

01:18:18.000 It's your fault.

01:18:20.000 I'm sick and tired of this.

01:18:21.000 And this is this really, for the most part, become endemic on the left?

01:18:27.000 I mean, I know the right used to be about banning things.

01:18:29.000 They're like, oh, these things are bad for kids.

01:18:30.000 And, you know, we got to ban this art.

01:18:32.000 Now it's really the left.

01:18:33.000 It's like, yo, the left are the ones coming out and saying I should have no responsibility.

01:18:37.000 It is a kaba too. 0.93

01:18:38.000 What you said about Adam Lanza was pretty enlightening.

01:18:41.000 Like, I think it goes deeper into the psychoactive drug system and how it's making people crazy and then We're talking about parents taking responsibility for what their kids are consuming.

01:18:51.000 But like, you can be inundated with violence, but if you're on psychotropics, that's gonna be a different inundation.

01:18:58.000 Sure, right.

01:18:58.000 And what I'm trying to bring up specifically and focus on is, you've got too many people in this country, whether it's people who have kids, or somebody who just eats terrible food, who says, you should pay for my healthcare, even though I lay around eating double, you know, Big Macs with extra sauce, and don't exercise.

01:19:15.000 Or, this video game made someone crazy, so we should have the government take it away from everybody else.

01:19:20.000 Or, a crazy person with a gun, therefore, no one should be allowed to have guns.

01:19:25.000 It's meaningless.

01:19:27.000 And so that's why I'm adverse to when it comes to video games, because it's the same line of argument when it comes to gun control.

01:19:34.000 And one of the reasons why I became conservative was looking at the various gun control arguments made by Republicans and Democrats, and I was thinking, well, the Democrats' one doesn't make any sense, and, you know, what else are they being misleading about?

01:19:45.000 And so that's kind of how I went down the route.

01:19:47.000 Right, right, right.

01:19:48.000 And it's remarkable how, if you're being logical and you hear the conservative argument on guns, you're going to hear something typically.

01:19:58.000 They're going to say, This, like, the first memes I saw was, why is this gun banned and this gun not banned, and they're the same gun?

01:20:06.000 So one meme is the Ruger 10-22 I saw.

01:20:09.000 Yep.

01:20:10.000 There's a wooden stock Ruger 10-22, and then there's a, like, polymer stock with a pistol grip Ruger 10-22.

01:20:17.000 Literally the same gun, same capacity, same firing and everything, you just hold it a little bit different.

01:20:22.000 One's under risk of being banned as an assault weapon and one isn't.

01:20:26.000 It's, it's meaningless.

01:20:27.000 So when I would actually go to, you know, the left, the traditional liberal people and say, why is this gun banned?

01:20:31.000 They'd say, oh, assault weapons got to be banned.

01:20:32.000 And I'm like, they're the same gun.

01:20:35.000 It makes no sense.

01:20:36.000 And you can't get a logical answer out of these people because they don't know what they're talking about.

01:20:41.000 And so I'm just like, listen, If you can't be responsible for your own life, why should I have to pay the price?

01:20:48.000 And that is a serious challenge.

01:20:50.000 I am actually fairly left on a ton of policies.

01:20:52.000 I totally believe in cooperative economics and systems of government.

01:20:56.000 But there is a limit.

01:20:57.000 We have to be liberty-oriented, not authority-oriented.

01:21:00.000 And so what you have with these traditional liberals is they actually... I love this meme from leftists.

01:21:04.000 They're like, Democrats are actually authoritarian right.

01:21:07.000 And I'm like, yes, that's correct.

01:21:09.000 That is absolutely true.

01:21:11.000 The Democratic establishment are somewhat, they're not super far right, all at the top, but they are in the authoritarian right spectrum.

01:21:19.000 They want to take away from you, they want to dictate what you do, and they are not overtly far left, but they're close to the left.

01:21:25.000 So they're like, I'm sorry, they're more authoritarian right.

01:21:30.000 And there's a difference between libertarian right, where it's like, hey man, do your thing, be free, and freely trade.

01:21:36.000 Authoritarian right are crony Democrat, corporatist Democrats, who have revolving door policies, prop up international corporations and big tech firms, empowering the corporations, and then also telling you what you can or can't do with your life.

01:21:49.000 So I actually think the Democrats and Republicans, the Demoplicans, are fairly in the same place.

01:21:54.000 You do have progressive Democrats who I think too much indulge in the woke cult stuff, and then you have a lot of good libertarian Republican candidates, black politicians, people like, well Rand Paul obviously, Ron Paul, he's retired now, Thomas Massey, and a few others.

01:22:09.000 You have very few actual good principled Democrats at all, but I would say it's a tiny fraction that are actually on the libertarian spectrum.

01:22:16.000 So I tell you, if you believe in freedom, I don't care if you're an anarcho-communist, far-left, you know, critical, race, woke, whatever.

01:22:23.000 If you're on the libertarian spectrum and your whole thing is, well, I disagree with you but I don't believe in being violent and hurting others or forcing people to do things, I'll bet we get along, man.

01:22:30.000 Come over, have a beer, let's grab a slice of pizza or vegan pizza, if that's what you're into.

01:22:35.000 And then the laissez-faire capitalist can come and, you know, and then sell us his great pizza and we can all hang out together as long as we all agree not to oppress and beat and harm each other.

01:22:44.000 But that's not what we're getting.

01:22:45.000 We're getting tons of moral authoritarians who want to use the power of government because they think other people shouldn't do things, or they want to extract the value and labor from other people because they're not responsible for themselves.

01:22:55.000 There is sometimes it's valuable, like you want to stop people from pooping in the river.

01:22:59.000 That's a metaphor that's come up before.

01:23:01.000 Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about here.

01:23:02.000 Well, like giving people addictive drugs.

01:23:05.000 You kind of want to stop that.

01:23:07.000 Why?

01:23:07.000 Because it's like pooping in their soul.

01:23:09.000 No, absolutely not.

01:23:10.000 It's making people crazy.

01:23:11.000 No, that's authoritarian.

01:23:13.000 You think that it's authoritarian to stop shoving opioids into the schools?

01:23:18.000 Shoving?

01:23:19.000 Telling someone they can't put something in their body is authoritarian, yes.

01:23:22.000 But I mean, they're giving people prescriptions for these new drugs that they didn't used to do.

01:23:26.000 I know what's better for you, therefore you shouldn't be allowed to do it.

01:23:29.000 Yes, that's authoritarianism.

01:23:30.000 Well, that's how the family works.

01:23:32.000 A family is not a government.

01:23:34.000 I know, but in some way it is.

01:23:36.000 House economy means household management.

01:23:37.000 But we also have to understand, with the party in charge right now, this larger authority of censorship is intoxicating for a lot of these individuals.

01:23:45.000 And just like I said on this show, they're going to go after people in politics, and soon it's going to translate into art, books, entertainment.

01:23:54.000 And I think it slowly and surely is.

01:23:56.000 There's a lot of pushback against this particular video game thing because how absurd it is.

01:24:01.000 But we also have to understand any form of censorship is absolutely absurd.

01:24:06.000 It deserves to be pushed back.

01:24:08.000 And we are already seeing and have seen a lot of comedians hit and cancelled and attacked for telling jokes and trying to make people laugh.

01:24:17.000 Which again, on its own level is absolutely absurd and it needs to be pushed back immediately.

01:24:23.000 Well, I'll tell you this.

01:24:27.000 I feel bad for Lydia and Ian right now because I can see, obviously, Julio, you're a person of color, and I am as well with my Asian background.

01:24:36.000 And Luke, as a Slav, is granted that. 0.95

01:24:39.000 Born and raised.

01:24:41.000 Did you know this?

01:24:41.000 The Coalition of Communities of Color said that Slavs are people of color.

01:24:45.000 Really?

01:24:46.000 Slavic people, please pronounce it right, Tim. 0.58

01:24:48.000 Is that the right way?

01:24:49.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

01:24:50.000 I didn't mean to be offensive.

01:24:51.000 Slav-ex? 0.99

01:24:51.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:24:52.000 Slav-ex. 0.89

01:24:53.000 I think I'm gonna make a t-shirt like that.

01:24:58.000 Dirty blonde blue-eyed Luke, white skin, is not in fact white.

01:25:03.000 No. 0.83

01:25:03.000 And he does not have that privilege. 0.83

01:25:04.000 So we're allowed to make offensive jokes.

01:25:07.000 And Ian is- Lydia and I got the raw into the deal.

01:25:09.000 I know, right?

01:25:09.000 Seriously.

01:25:10.000 Not only do he sunburn.

01:25:11.000 No, no, you have white privilege. 0.72

01:25:13.000 Scottish?

01:25:13.000 Are you Scottish?

01:25:15.000 I'm Irish and Scottish.

01:25:16.000 White privilege, I guess. 0.58

01:25:17.000 Not Slavic. 0.94

01:25:18.000 You have white privilege.

01:25:19.000 I'm still, like, reeling from finding out that Luke is considered a person of color.

01:25:22.000 I know, me too.

01:25:23.000 Shocking.

01:25:24.000 No, we did a whole thing.

01:25:25.000 It's true.

01:25:26.000 I couldn't believe it.

01:25:27.000 But, you know, I take that back.

01:25:28.000 I actually could believe it because I've made the point before.

01:25:30.000 I actually would talk to these people who are, like, white privilege, and I'm like, you mean to tell me that you think Ukrainians have white privilege?

01:25:37.000 And they would go, well...

01:25:41.000 People who live in Syria? 0.99

01:25:42.000 No.

01:25:42.000 Yeah, come on.

01:25:43.000 No.

01:25:43.000 Like, these people are not living the wealthy American.

01:25:47.000 Like, they struggle to come to America. 0.99

01:25:48.000 It's actually easier for a Mexican to come to America than a Ukrainian. 0.60

01:25:51.000 Of course.

01:25:51.000 Like, I have privilege, but my parents stayed together.

01:25:54.000 That's a big part of why.

01:25:56.000 And I had to get a job when I was 12, so that I wasn't like, they wouldn't buy me anything.

01:26:00.000 You know, I was very lucky that we got a Nintendo when I was young.

01:26:04.000 We should all take the privilege test.

01:26:05.000 Have you ever seen it?

01:26:07.000 I think so, yeah.

01:26:08.000 I think it was from BuzzFeed, I'm not sure.

01:26:10.000 It's probably from BuzzFeed.

01:26:11.000 Yeah, it was like a slider bar and it was like, are you Christian or not?

01:26:17.000 How Christian are you?

01:26:18.000 And it's like a slider bar for your gender. 0.94

01:26:21.000 Did you see the guy in California who took a DNA test and came back 4% black and now he wants to qualify as a minority business owner?

01:26:29.000 He gets all the privileges and all the special promotions.

01:26:32.000 They just don't know the Pandora's box that they open.

01:26:36.000 Obviously, racism is bad.

01:26:40.000 Maybe what they're doing is actually this really clever play where all of a sudden there will be like Luke who's like, I mean, come on.

01:26:46.000 If you were to describe a white person, you got dirty blonde, blue eyes, Luke Rutkowski.

01:26:51.000 Like, Luke, I'm sorry.

01:26:52.000 They can claim that you have your blonde hair, blue eyes.

01:26:54.000 Come on.

01:26:55.000 Listen, they said what they said.

01:27:00.000 It's been determined.

01:27:02.000 Stop trying to oppress me with your designations of me as you are clearly an Asian person that has triple white classification. 0.71

01:27:13.000 I mean, there's a reason Asians are lumped in with the whites, especially when it comes to the university discussion that's been happening in the country as well.

01:27:20.000 No, you're correct, because I'm German-Irish, Korean, and Japanese.

01:27:24.000 Triple white, I said. 0.67

01:27:26.000 Yeah, so it's triple white.

01:27:29.000 And Luke, I'm sorry for oppressing you.

01:27:31.000 You better be.

01:27:32.000 I will check my triple white privilege.

01:27:36.000 But the point I'm saying is, it's this securitist plan towards actually, you know, doing away with racism by making it so that a bunch of white men can identify as women of color.

01:27:47.000 If this dude is 4% black, who is white as they... They say he looks white, you can't tell. 0.91

01:27:52.000 He got a DNA test, and he could identify as a woman.

01:27:54.000 He is now a female. 0.91

01:27:56.000 It reminds me of that South Park episode where everyone gets their DNA test to check out their privilege.

01:28:03.000 I hear South Park is coming back, right?

01:28:04.000 They predicted this!

01:28:06.000 But listen, listen, are they gonna deny it now?

01:28:09.000 One of my favorite moments, you guys ever see this?

01:28:10.000 There was a scholarship program for African-Americans, and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white kid showed up, and when they were like, this is for African-Americans, he was like, I'm from South Africa.

01:28:21.000 And they were like, no, you have to leave.

01:28:22.000 And he was like, but I'm literally from Africa.

01:28:25.000 And they were like, no, get out of here.

01:28:27.000 It's crazy.

01:28:28.000 South Park also predicted Chaz. 0.96

01:28:30.000 Did they really?

01:28:31.000 Yeah, remember that episode where the hippies take over the town? 1.00

01:28:36.000 That's what I compare.

01:28:38.000 And Cartman goes on the rampage.

01:28:41.000 He's trying to stop them.

01:28:43.000 Cartman's my spirit animal.

01:28:45.000 I love how they arrest him because he was targeting the hippies.

01:28:48.000 And then they were like, you don't understand Cartman, this festival is bringing a lot of money for us.

01:28:52.000 And he goes, hippies don't have money!

01:28:56.000 Yep, but that's how that's how I described Chaz and like really it was it was so surreal seeing cuz like again talking about we saw racial segregation In that and it was just wait, but it was being done Like with the right intentions in the right way So therefore it was allowed and it was just so weird and it was one of the really funny things about that well one they had a sign that said social distancing is anti-racism and What?

01:29:22.000 It's like anti-racist, which is like... Huh?

01:29:24.000 I'm already confused by that statement.

01:29:26.000 Which, by the way, they were very racist because there was not a lot of social distancing at the height of when, like, a lot of people were, so apparently they were all being racist.

01:29:34.000 But then on top of that, they had a garden plot in their little chasm. 0.97

01:29:37.000 And they killed black children! 0.99

01:29:39.000 They shot them! 0.99

01:29:40.000 For ten minutes!

01:29:43.000 That's what I read.

01:29:44.000 10 minutes where they were just unloading.

01:29:46.000 What was the size of their magazines and how many were they carrying?

01:29:48.000 I have no idea.

01:29:50.000 Were they firing 5.56?

01:29:50.000 I believe it was 5.56.

01:29:53.000 That's a thousand dollars these days.

01:29:56.000 So they're rich too?

01:29:58.000 Yeah, they have a lot of money.

01:29:59.000 Back then it was probably a lot cheaper.

01:30:04.000 There was a white SUV with two black teenagers and it was just apparently some kids joyriding.

01:30:07.000 These security guards walking around with rifles panicked when they heard they saw a vehicle and someone said it was white supremacists.

01:30:11.000 But just think about this for a second.

01:30:13.000 There was a white SUV with two black teenagers, and it was just apparently some kids joyriding.

01:30:18.000 These security guards, who are, you know, they call themselves, walking around with rifles,

01:30:23.000 panicked when they heard they saw a vehicle and someone said it was white supremacists.

01:30:27.000 So they just started unloading.

01:30:28.000 I read one article that said hundreds of rounds for about 10 minutes, just firing at this vehicle.

01:30:34.000 I'm wondering, like, 10 minutes?

01:30:37.000 How many magazines were they carrying?

01:30:39.000 Because if they were just unloading, like, boom, boom, boom.

01:30:41.000 Like, I'm not saying they're gonna, like, bump, fire, or go boom, boom, boom as fast as they can.

01:30:44.000 If they were all unloading, they had to be carrying, what, multiple 60-round mags or something?

01:30:50.000 It was just absurd seeing it all happen.

01:30:54.000 And they raided the vehicle and stole evidence and stripped it and took off?

01:30:58.000 And the cops couldn't get in.

01:30:59.000 They couldn't even rescue the kids.

01:31:01.000 The EMTs couldn't get in.

01:31:03.000 It's just so unfortunate what happens when Because that was only allowed to happen because the Seattle mayor and the city council were just like, oh, we'll just have a summer of love and we'll try to placate that.

01:31:19.000 And it's just like, no, like I was there the first night and I could already tell like, this is going to end.

01:31:24.000 This is going to end in a very, very bad way.

01:31:26.000 A 16 year old black child was killed.

01:31:29.000 A 14 year old was left in critical condition after being shot.

01:31:33.000 And this is supposed to be a safe haven for minorities.

01:31:35.000 And it's just like, no, that's just not the case.

01:31:38.000 And then they want all these fencing and these barriers up because they wanted to keep out white supremacists.

01:31:43.000 It's like, right, because Seattle is very white.

01:31:45.000 I'll give them that.

01:31:46.000 But it was just, again, the mindset that these people operate in.

01:31:51.000 And they see no irony in the fact that the people that died in CHAZ were African-Americans. 0.61

01:31:57.000 How could you tell right away that it was going to go bad?

01:32:00.000 So I met Raz Simone, he was kind of the first warlord.

01:32:04.000 So that first night he was harassing people for graffiting on the buildings.

01:32:12.000 And there was graffiti everywhere, so it's not like he was the only person doing that.

01:32:17.000 But he was harassing him.

01:32:18.000 I was threatening him, and then there was a punch thrown.

01:32:21.000 And so that was problem number one.

01:32:22.000 Problem number two was when, this was the second night, where there was this group of basically self-declared vigilantes armed with baseball bats, and they surrounded this one kid, and they were accusing him of stealing a cell phone from like a street medic.

01:32:40.000 And the kid's saying, no, I didn't steal it, I didn't do this, and they're like, well why'd you run away from us?

01:32:44.000 And one of the guys, he shoved the baseball bat in his face, and he's like, if you keep this up, I'm gonna beat you up.

01:32:52.000 And it was just... It was going bad quick.

01:32:55.000 It was going bad really quick, and then he was able to escape from the group, and they started chasing after him.

01:33:02.000 And then they realized, oh, he didn't, they found the phone somewhere else.

01:33:05.000 He didn't actually, he didn't steal the phone.

01:33:07.000 So that was literally the second night, uh, when, when all this.

01:33:10.000 And so I just knew it was going to end.

01:33:11.000 I know that there was like some more crimes cause there was a, it was kind of like Occupy Wall Street with all the tents and kind of the crimes that happened within the tents.

01:33:21.000 It was literally almost the exact same thing.

01:33:23.000 And I just knew it was going to escalate further and further because again, It was just a free for all.

01:33:28.000 And I mean, there was, there was different groups in a different, I mean, the safest part was during the day, because as typically these things go, right?

01:33:36.000 It's generally safe when it's daytime.

01:33:38.000 But then when it became night, it was just kind of who had the most kind of power, whether it's through numbers or through weapons.

01:33:46.000 Yeah.

01:33:46.000 And so it just, and I'm curious, it just, it just resulted, it just ended in tears and people got, people got hurt and people got killed and it didn't need to happen.

01:33:55.000 Yeah.

01:33:55.000 I wonder what we can expect in, you know, in this kind of area in the coming years.

01:34:00.000 I mean, Joe Biden brought back the migrant child facilities.

01:34:03.000 I can't imagine Antifa is going to be like, we're cool.

01:34:06.000 No, they're going to go nuts.

01:34:06.000 They were protesting in Rochester just the other day.

01:34:09.000 And I was in Portland on Inauguration Day, and they attacked, and I got video of them attacking the Democratic headquarters in Portland.

01:34:17.000 And it was just, they just hate everybody.

01:34:21.000 I mean, they're anti-American.

01:34:22.000 Definitely.

01:34:23.000 I mean, so it doesn't matter who really is in office.

01:34:27.000 They just kind of see it as an excuse to do that.

01:34:29.000 But right, yeah, they're not, it's just really weird.

01:34:32.000 I just don't understand why Democrats, you had Jerry Nadler say, oh, the Portland riots being done by Antifa was a myth.

01:34:38.000 It's like, they hate you too.

01:34:40.000 Well, he doesn't want them to come beat him up and go to his office.

01:34:43.000 Andy Phelan went to CNN's offices and raised the ruckus, to say the least.

01:34:49.000 Oh yeah, in Atlanta.

01:34:50.000 So it's just, these people are not your friends.

01:34:54.000 I mean, sure, they might vote for you begrudgingly because it was better than Trump, but I mean, they will just attack you just as easily as they will attack any conservative or Republican.

01:35:03.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:35:03.000 All right.

01:35:03.000 Well, that being said, let's jump over to Super Chats, my friends.

01:35:06.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe, hit the notification bell because it really, really does help.

01:35:10.000 Share the podcast if you really like it.

01:35:12.000 Leave us a good review on iTunes or Spotify or whatever.

01:35:14.000 It's the only real way to grow.

01:35:15.000 I mean, we're not going to spend money we don't have like marketing or anything like that.

01:35:19.000 But go to TimCast.com, become a member, and get access to exclusive bonus episodes.

01:35:23.000 We just did one with Mike Cernovich on the Epstein files, and it is kind of a crazy story, like what we talk about.

01:35:28.000 It's kind of creepy stuff, because there's something deep beneath the surface that's never been uncovered about what was going on with that guy.

01:35:34.000 We got an episode up at TimCast.com, but let's read some of these super chats.

01:35:37.000 We got a super chat here.

01:35:38.000 Fortunately, I don't think YouTube for some reason blocks the name of the first person.

01:35:42.000 Let me see if I can try and read it.

01:35:44.000 I can't.

01:35:44.000 They said, Hey Tim, can you give a shout out to Wall Street bets and remind them to hold the effing line?

01:35:49.000 We need to make our wives' boyfriends proud when we make it to the moon with AMC and GameStop stocks. 0.76

01:35:55.000 All right.

01:35:56.000 There you go.

01:35:57.000 GameStop jumped, what, like 30%?

01:35:58.000 It jumped up again.

01:36:00.000 It said 100%.

01:36:03.000 I read that.

01:36:03.000 Did you see Robinhood say, we're gonna make some upgrades tomorrow, so there might be some disruptions.

01:36:08.000 I heard there's already disruptions.

01:36:10.000 According to the Cartering, they already stopped trading in some instances.

01:36:14.000 I'm not going to buy any of these.

01:36:16.000 I'm not going to buy the AMC or the GameStop stuff.

01:36:18.000 People can buy whatever they want.

01:36:19.000 I am not a financial advisor.

01:36:21.000 We always say that.

01:36:22.000 But if people want to buy that stuff, you know, you do your thing.

01:36:25.000 A lot of people bought in when it was really high because they're like, we're going to keep buying.

01:36:28.000 And then it dropped and now they're holding the bag.

01:36:31.000 And that's probably why it's going to go back up again.

01:36:33.000 Because, dude, if I bought in a stock at like $300 and it dropped to $90, I'd just keep it.

01:36:37.000 I'd just keep it.

01:36:39.000 I'd be like, whatever.

01:36:39.000 I bought it.

01:36:40.000 You know, I'm not going to lose it, I guess.

01:36:42.000 You only lose the money when you sell.

01:36:44.000 I don't know if it's gonna go back up to 300 bucks, but, you know.

01:36:47.000 Alessio De Monte says, did anyone hear what the Dems are trying to do with the U.S.

01:36:51.000 nuclear arsenal?

01:36:51.000 What, are they trying to launch it?

01:36:52.000 I have no idea.

01:36:53.000 No?

01:36:54.000 Well, keep Eric Swalwell away from it.

01:36:56.000 Yeah, definitely.

01:36:57.000 Ian Reichard says, hi, libertarian computer scientist and fan of your work.

01:37:01.000 Saw your episode earlier about wanting to build out new social media and I'm so upset with the current state of things and want to help.

01:37:06.000 Let me know if I can help in any way.

01:37:08.000 Send an email over to jobs at TimCast.com and we'll go through pitches and ideas and stuff.

01:37:15.000 Yeah, I'm talking with some devs about creating open source tools that people can use to get the core functionality of some of the biggest big tech companies.

01:37:25.000 So like live streaming functionality, super chat functionality, tweet like micro blogging stuff, sharing groups.

01:37:31.000 That way it's like your website, your deal, and they can network between each other.

01:37:34.000 So we'll see how that stuff works out.

01:37:37.000 Dylan Elm says, every dollar in the chat netted you a dollar before the live show.

01:37:41.000 Out of the hundreds of people, I only got 10.

01:37:43.000 Oh well, it was fun.

01:37:44.000 I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.

01:37:47.000 NeverSummer160 says, Julio, get Mattis' drinking buddy here.

01:37:51.000 Glad to see you finally made it to the top TCIRL.

01:37:54.000 Semper Fi.

01:37:54.000 There you go.

01:37:57.000 Wojciech Zapotoczny.

01:38:00.000 I'm probably pronouncing your name wrong.

01:38:02.000 Tim, please get Adam Curry on the show to talk about his decentralized social media.

01:38:06.000 We will, we will.

01:38:07.000 We will, absolutely.

01:38:09.000 Mr. Slytrip says, how do you feel about Cenk Uygur naming his podcast after the group that committed the Armenian genocide?

01:38:15.000 I have said, I mean, based on his own ideal, he should change the name.

01:38:18.000 Should have changed it a long time ago.

01:38:19.000 Yeah.

01:38:20.000 The Young Turks is a really messed up name.

01:38:22.000 No joke.

01:38:23.000 I understand they're trying, like they're claiming that the Young Turks is just a reference to like young upstarts who are challenging the system.

01:38:30.000 Sure.

01:38:30.000 But it's literally a reference to.

01:38:33.000 It's the same thing as these group of people.

01:38:36.000 Imagine if they started a podcast network called the Hitler Youth, and they were like, oh, but we don't actually, you know, like what they said, but it's like, I don't care, dude.

01:38:47.000 I went to Politicon, and there were people, there were Armenians protesting the Young Turks.

01:38:51.000 And they were saying like, dude, we don't hate you.

01:38:55.000 We just think you should change the name.

01:38:56.000 And you can even change it a little bit.

01:38:59.000 And he won't do it!

01:39:01.000 That, to me, is weird.

01:39:02.000 Listen, I don't care if he changes his name or not.

01:39:04.000 I'm saying if he's gonna be true to progressive principles, and you've got people protesting saying it's, like, really messed up, how are you, like, going to tell marginalized people to shove off?

01:39:14.000 That's weird.

01:39:15.000 I just think it's wrong.

01:39:16.000 Look into Enver Pasha.

01:39:18.000 He was the head of the Young Turks in Turkey that established the Armenian Genocide.

01:39:23.000 Man.

01:39:25.000 Tammy says, Tim, re-diabetes, please distinguish between type 1 and type 2.

01:39:30.000 Type 2 can be avoided through healthy lifestyle choices.

01:39:32.000 Type 1 is lifelong autoimmune disease.

01:39:35.000 Virus attacks pancreas.

01:39:36.000 Insulate needed lifelong.

01:39:37.000 That's true.

01:39:38.000 I have read evidence that fasting can help reverse the symptoms of type 1 as well.

01:39:43.000 I would suggest reading into it.

01:39:45.000 I would also suggest reading into for people with type 2 ketosis.

01:39:50.000 I don't know a lot about it.

01:39:51.000 I've only read certain like medical websites.

01:39:54.000 That's why I say read it, because I know there's a lot of fad dieting around keto and people don't know what keto actually is, but look at this stuff, because I knew a guy whose kid had epilepsy, and he got put on a ketogenic diet, cured it right up.

01:40:06.000 So they tried everything, all these medications, and he said the doctor told them, have your kid on a ketogenic diet, and then that was it.

01:40:14.000 No more seizures.

01:40:15.000 Yes.

01:40:15.000 For whatever reason.

01:40:16.000 Keto was used to control epilepsy in children, and it was also used by, I believe, the Navy SEALs to train their divers.

01:40:22.000 There's a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis that is very bad.

01:40:25.000 You do not want that at all, so watch out.

01:40:27.000 Watch your blood sugar.

01:40:28.000 Word.

01:40:28.000 AG on RTS Gaming says, be advised, GME stock is going up.

01:40:34.000 Well, you know, if people want to buy it and they like the stock, they should, but you should recognize, you know, what was going on with that news.

01:40:40.000 Going up.

01:40:41.000 Mr. Brownstone says Luke is my meme Lord and T Hustler watched gray state and good to see your contribution to the documentary good times What was that?

01:40:50.000 A lot of me gray state was was a was there's a big story behind that Crazy story behind that to say the least but I don't know if they actually went forward with the movie or not I think they did in some ways.

01:41:04.000 I have to check in on it.

01:41:05.000 It's been a long time.

01:41:06.000 Whoa Ooh, Ian Hall says, sharing my GameStop tendies with Lydia's cat and Luke's worthless puppy.

01:41:12.000 Diamond hands, rocket to the moon, I'm up 20k today. 0.94

01:41:20.000 I can't believe Atlas is so big. 0.70

01:41:24.000 It's only been a few weeks.

01:41:25.000 The second ear flopped up.

01:41:26.000 Oh! 0.60

01:41:27.000 She's great.

01:41:27.000 Second ear flopped up.

01:41:29.000 I'm gonna make a post soon about it on Instagram.

01:41:31.000 That's a huge moment.

01:41:32.000 In the German Shepherd.

01:41:33.000 Have the second ear flopped up.

01:41:36.000 She's great.

01:41:37.000 Lamont Cranston IV says, ban assault cutlery.

01:41:40.000 They're doing that in the UK.

01:41:42.000 Yes, they are.

01:41:43.000 Actually, yes. 0.97

01:41:45.000 El Diablo says, WTF? 0.83

01:41:49.000 Luke doesn't like poles? 1.00

01:41:51.000 WTF? 0.86

01:41:51.000 Oh, Luke doesn't like poles. 0.86

01:41:54.000 Oh, yeah, different poles. 0.79

01:41:56.000 Yeah.

01:41:58.000 Badum tch.

01:41:58.000 This pole never lies.

01:42:00.000 Oh yeah.

01:42:01.000 Sean Rufus said, Jim Dock.

01:42:04.000 I gotta read this one first. 0.67

01:42:05.000 He says, I got hairy legs!

01:42:07.000 It's a Biden quote, mind you. 0.97

01:42:09.000 Sean Rufus says, I'd like to support Luke, but Jason blocked me from commenting as I commented, Jason was a crazy conspiracy nut.

01:42:15.000 Thought you didn't block people, Luke.

01:42:17.000 Jason?

01:42:17.000 I don't block people.

01:42:19.000 I block people.

01:42:21.000 You reach out to me on Twitter, LukeWeAreChange, and let me know your username and I'll make sure you're not blocked.

01:42:26.000 I don't like blocking at all.

01:42:27.000 I mute people.

01:42:28.000 Yeah, I mute people.

01:42:28.000 TyrantasaurusHuntingClub says, Luke reminds me of bartender from Boondock Saints.

01:42:33.000 Semper Fidelis to Julio keep it the great work everyone rah, you're looking up now. Yeah, I

01:42:39.000 Remember well, I'll just read some more M.H.

01:42:43.000 says, Kelly Osborne may have said that, but I think the tweet you are looking for was from Amber Heard.

01:42:48.000 Yes, that one.

01:42:48.000 She was the one who was like, protect your gardeners.

01:42:50.000 Yeah, protect your gardeners and your maids. 0.97

01:42:52.000 Yes.

01:42:53.000 Thank you for... These are the worst people.

01:42:55.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:42:56.000 Yeah, I know.

01:42:56.000 That's what I was saying.

01:42:57.000 Like, they don't really care.

01:42:59.000 They only care when it affects them personally.

01:43:02.000 Yeah.

01:43:02.000 Adam Gynes?

01:43:04.000 Gynes?

01:43:05.000 I didn't pronounce it right.

01:43:05.000 Guinness?

01:43:06.000 Politics is downstream of culture, but culture is downstream of media.

01:43:10.000 People jump, but the establishment still steers the ship.

01:43:13.000 MSM has to go.

01:43:14.000 I think it's, I think it's happening.

01:43:16.000 Whoa.

01:43:17.000 Newtonian says check the M1 money supply.

01:43:19.000 It's about to hit 20 trillion.

01:43:21.000 I'm going to buy Bitcoin.

01:43:23.000 You know, like Bitcoin went down and everyone's like, I saw the media saying, Oh no, Bitcoin's going down.

01:43:27.000 I'm like, Oh, thank God.

01:43:29.000 I can buy more now.

01:43:30.000 Oh, man.

01:43:31.000 But every time it goes up, it's crazy.

01:43:32.000 Because I remember when it hit 200 bucks, I'm like, oh, I can't buy now.

01:43:35.000 It's at 200.

01:43:35.000 Then it went to 1,000.

01:43:37.000 And I was like, I should have bought at 200.

01:43:38.000 I remember looking at it when it was like 1,000.

01:43:40.000 I'm like, I can't do this.

01:43:43.000 This is a lot of money.

01:43:45.000 But what about Dogecoin?

01:43:46.000 Nah, I'm not going near those.

01:43:48.000 Listen, listen.

01:43:49.000 I couldn't find my computer where I had my old Doge wallet.

01:43:52.000 And I know I had some Doge on there. 0.99

01:43:54.000 And it was back in the day.

01:43:56.000 Listen, listen.

01:43:57.000 Back in the day.

01:43:58.000 In November, what, Bitcoin was $13,000?

01:43:59.000 Yeah.

01:44:01.000 So it's like up three and a half times or whatever.

01:44:04.000 You put $1,000, you'd have $3,500.

01:44:06.000 Man, crazy.

01:44:09.000 But it went to $56K.

01:44:10.000 It's gonna go back up.

01:44:12.000 It's gonna keep going up because more and more corporations are putting some of their balance sheets on Bitcoin, especially with the mass printing of U.S.

01:44:20.000 dollars.

01:44:21.000 You know what's really funny?

01:44:22.000 I was reading something from Peter Schiff and man, that guy really hates Bitcoin.

01:44:26.000 And he was like, okay, so even if I did buy in now, what's my exit strategy?

01:44:30.000 And I saw one person say, what's your gold exit strategy?

01:44:33.000 Like people buy gold to not sell it.

01:44:36.000 It's a store of value.

01:44:37.000 You don't do it.

01:44:37.000 You buy it and you just leave it.

01:44:39.000 You put in your closet.

01:44:40.000 So you buy Bitcoin, you put in cold storage, put in your closet, you walk away.

01:44:42.000 Yeah.

01:44:42.000 And there's other currencies meant for smaller transactions that have quicker transactions and smaller fees that are, you know, used for cash or, you know, or like a silver comparison.

01:44:53.000 Yeah.

01:44:53.000 All right, we got Javi J says, stop telling people to move.

01:44:56.000 I run a custom plant.

01:44:57.000 And if one more jack wagon asks, if I buy the whole cow, can you do half ribeyes and half tri tips?

01:45:04.000 I'm going to cancel my subscription to the Beanie Broadcasting Network.

01:45:08.000 Love, love what y'all do.

01:45:09.000 Understandable.

01:45:10.000 I apologize.

01:45:13.000 Can you do what?

01:45:14.000 Half tri-tip and half... Yeah, tri-tips.

01:45:17.000 BlackLionGrunt says, Tim, walls have worked since 130,000 years ago in Theopetra, and they will continue to work even when humanity is so advanced.

01:45:26.000 Our walls are made of energy.

01:45:28.000 Walls are forever.

01:45:30.000 Yeah.

01:45:31.000 The Death Star was protected by a wall.

01:45:34.000 Did that stop the Rebels from destroying it a second time?

01:45:36.000 No.

01:45:37.000 I didn't think so.

01:45:38.000 The first one wasn't protected by a wall.

01:45:39.000 So, hey, they learned, right?

01:45:40.000 That was like a Mary Williamson quote.

01:45:42.000 We'll have a wall of energy.

01:45:45.000 Acoustic vibration.

01:45:48.000 That's right.

01:45:49.000 Matthew Sage says, if you want to grow some banana-like fruit and work towards the shape you want, I'll ship you some pawpaws.

01:45:56.000 They grow natively in Pennsylvania.

01:45:58.000 Oh, cool.

01:45:58.000 We actually have pawpaw trees.

01:46:00.000 Yeah, we do.

01:46:00.000 Yes, we have many.

01:46:01.000 We didn't find one, did we?

01:46:03.000 No, they're just babies, so they're not producing fruit.

01:46:05.000 But yeah, so, I mean, it's like East Coast, Appalachia, there's pawpaws all over the place, I think, right?

01:46:11.000 Never heard of them.

01:46:12.000 They're cool.

01:46:12.000 Yeah, a lot of people.

01:46:13.000 Until someone was like, oh hey, you got pawpaw trees.

01:46:15.000 I was like, what?

01:46:17.000 And they're like, it's a fruit, you know?

01:46:20.000 Alexander Thomas says, Ian is right.

01:46:22.000 Arabic has gender in the second person, you. 0.91

01:46:25.000 Also in Semitic languages, Hebrew and Arabic, male is unmarked and female is marked.

01:46:30.000 Interesting.

01:46:31.000 Dad teaches says in Russian some names like Mitchka can be a woman and man's nickname. 0.92

01:46:38.000 So the last name makes it easy to see what gender they are. 0.82

01:46:41.000 Oh, interesting.

01:46:44.000 So you could have Mitch cut and with with like last name, you know ski they know it's a guy.

01:46:48.000 Mm-hmm.

01:46:49.000 Interesting I always thought that was those that was kind of crazy when I heard because Like what would happen if they come to America?

01:46:55.000 Like do they have different last names?

01:46:56.000 Yeah, it's on it's on your documents Wow crazy Archangel says Semper Fi always good to see a fellow jarhead on tin cast IRL.

01:47:06.000 There you go.

01:47:06.000 Yeah a lot of Marines great Yeah Boosted300 says, if you think the romance languages are bad, Arabic is an extremely gendered language, and the gender of nouns are determined by if it is able to reason.

01:47:19.000 Ooh.

01:47:20.000 What, really?

01:47:20.000 Wow.

01:47:22.000 Wow.

01:47:22.000 Interesting.

01:47:23.000 Bold.

01:47:25.000 Yeah, some people do some things.

01:47:27.000 Zach2007 says, Sour Patch is beautiful.

01:47:29.000 Tim, thoughts on SACDAF requiring military to address extremism in the military.

01:47:34.000 Great work, y'all.

01:47:34.000 Lydia, you are gorgeous.

01:47:36.000 Well then, I'll ask you, Julio, this vetting they're doing of the military to weed out extremism.

01:47:43.000 What do you think about it?

01:47:43.000 Because we've talked about it.

01:47:44.000 I mean, from what I can say from my personal experience, it is against the UCMJ to be part of extremists.

01:47:50.000 I believe it's the UCMJ or Marine Corps policy.

01:47:53.000 I can't remember.

01:47:54.000 It's been a while.

01:47:55.000 But you can't be part of these groups, and obviously you shouldn't, because the whole point of these units are to be cohesive and work together.

01:48:02.000 So with that being said, I do have some of my friends who are in the active duty side, and really it's just kind of... They're just very concerned about how, yes, it's just under the guise of, yes, extremism bad, but then it's like, well, what is extremism?

01:48:20.000 And we've seen on the political stage, well, extremism is just simply as, oh, you wear a MAGA hat, or you're a Trump supporter.

01:48:27.000 Yeah, XYZ, right.

01:48:29.000 Come and take it, right.

01:48:30.000 It's like, well, no, that's not extremism.

01:48:32.000 That's actually pretty normal.

01:48:33.000 And so there are some concerns, and I would have some concerns as well, on whether or not it is legitimate to actually weed out extremists, whatever side it is, or if it's to specifically target conservatives, which would be obviously concerning.

01:48:50.000 So I'll just ask real quick.

01:48:52.000 So you mentioned you have active duty friends.

01:48:54.000 How does it work being in the Reserves?

01:48:56.000 Uh, so, so, uh, the reserves is basically you do one weekend a month, you show up to drill, show up to your duty station for your job or whatever for one week in a month, and then two weeks out of the year is when you... and then two weeks out of the year you do that instead of one weekend.

01:49:10.000 That actually sounds kind of fun.

01:49:11.000 It is, it is nice.

01:49:13.000 I enjoy it for what it is.

01:49:15.000 What's your job, if you don't mind me asking?

01:49:17.000 Yes, so I am a 0511 Marine Corps, or Marine Air Ground Task Force Planning Specialist.

01:49:24.000 Mouthful.

01:49:24.000 What is that?

01:49:26.000 So basically it's large-scale logistics.

01:49:30.000 They say you don't call it the travel agent of a Marine Corps, but that's...

01:49:34.000 That's kind of what we are.

01:49:36.000 It's not a very big MOS, and actually the unit that I'm attached to, because I enlisted out of Illinois, and when you're signing up for the reserves, you pick your job necessarily on your ASVAB score, but based on what the units are around local, because you're going to live there.

01:49:50.000 But so when I moved out here, I kind of assumed, because that is kind of like a big level job, I figured with all the units out here with the Pentagon, like there has to be a slot for me.

01:49:59.000 Turns out there wasn't.

01:50:00.000 And so the unit that I'm attached to now is a DET PRP, Personnel Retrieval and Processing.

01:50:06.000 So it is the body baggers of the Marine Corps.

01:50:10.000 And so actually during the early days of the pandemic, we were put on standby.

01:50:14.000 And actually this was the closest I was to actually being deployed in any sense.

01:50:18.000 Because basically we were looking at going at New York City when they were Oh, wow. 0.93

01:50:22.000 And a crazy governor that was sending sick people to Mexico. 1.00

01:50:25.000 National Guard unit that's their mortuary affairs. 1.00

01:50:28.000 And the crazy governor that was sending sick people to the military. 1.00

01:50:32.000 No wonder that they probably needed us because Governor Cuomo wanted to get rid of all the 0.96

01:50:36.000 graft.

01:50:37.000 The same governor who's in very hot water and has very serious allegations against him

01:50:39.000 right now that the mainstream media by and large is ignoring.

01:50:44.000 So it's good for what it is, although it became a bit of an impairment.

01:50:51.000 It hamstrung me a little bit in terms of my civilian career, just because, like I said, the riots were happening almost every other week.

01:50:58.000 So my annual training those two weeks was going to be in July, and I knew I was going to miss something.

01:51:04.000 And I was like, okay, well, it's just a matter of what am I going to miss?

01:51:07.000 And lo and behold, Portland, At the federal courthouse, that was the national story.

01:51:12.000 And so I missed the beginning of it, but after, as soon as I was done with training, I hopped on a flight to Portland.

01:51:18.000 And so I covered that last week, uh, before they finally were able to have the Oregon State Police provide the security so that they could pull the actual federal officers out there.

01:51:27.000 So I was able to see kind of like how it was before and after that.

01:51:30.000 So it was, so, uh, I'm not reenlisting just because my civilian career is obviously taken kind of a little bit.

01:51:38.000 Upward trend, and so I like having the freedom and flexibility of being able to just leave at a moment's notice to cover whatever it is, but I very much enjoy it.

01:51:47.000 I'm gonna miss it, obviously, but it's great.

01:51:50.000 You make it for what it is.

01:51:51.000 You enlisted?

01:51:52.000 Yeah, yeah, so I'm a corporal.

01:51:53.000 So when you enlist, do you go through basic training?

01:51:57.000 Yeah, and this is for any reserve component.

01:52:01.000 So you go through the same initial training.

01:52:04.000 The only difference is that as soon as I was done, once I became a MACTAF planner, everyone else then left for their duty station.

01:52:12.000 And then I went home.

01:52:15.000 And so it's funny because kind of the joke is, you know, all reservists are, you know, they're weekend warriors and stuff like that.

01:52:24.000 He's like, okay, that's fine.

01:52:24.000 You can insult me.

01:52:25.000 You can call me whatever you want, but when you do, make sure to call me at home.

01:52:29.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.66

01:52:30.000 Burn! 0.88

01:52:31.000 And so it's fine.

01:52:33.000 I enjoy it for what it is.

01:52:35.000 But it's also kind of weird because when people do find out I'm a Marine, they're like, oh, thank you for your service.

01:52:38.000 And it's like, I haven't done anything.

01:52:41.000 And so I don't try to like make, you know, I don't make it out more than what it is.

01:52:45.000 And there is a little bit of a kind of a, I don't know, inferiority complex, but it's just kind of like, yeah, because a lot of my sergeants and staff sergeants and gunnies Oh cool.

01:52:57.000 that are in the reserves, they were active duty, and they've been in some crazy,

01:53:00.000 one of my gunnies was in Fallujah, and so he actually met Mattis briefly during that time.

01:53:09.000 But so it's just kind of like, all right, yeah, and I'm a corporal now, but like, it doesn't,

01:53:12.000 I mean, I didn't do anything, and so it's kind of a weird stage,

01:53:17.000 but again, you make it what it is.

01:53:22.000 I enjoy it.

01:53:24.000 I like it a lot.

01:53:24.000 I'm gonna miss it, but I obviously gotta focus on the thing that's actually making me money.

01:53:28.000 Right, right, right.

01:53:30.000 So we're getting a lot of people correcting us.

01:53:31.000 Like I said, I don't remember.

01:53:32.000 I was barely walking.

01:53:32.000 they say Tipper Gore was her name and she was a Democrat.

01:53:35.000 So, uh, Robert says Tipper Gore was a Republican? Wow, news to me.

01:53:40.000 So yeah, I guess, I guess the reality is it was never just the Republicans.

01:53:44.000 It was, it was Democrats. And it's still Democrats.

01:53:46.000 There you go, moral authoritarianism. How about that?

01:53:48.000 Like I said, I don't remember. I don't remember. I was, I was barely walking.

01:53:51.000 Spring chick.

01:53:52.000 Elaine Benes says Federal Reserve Payment System crashed today.

01:53:56.000 Yeah, did you guys see that?

01:53:58.000 It's like three trillion dollars in payments did not move.

01:54:02.000 They said it was like a clerical error, but it was kind of unclear.

01:54:05.000 Yeah, what happened?

01:54:07.000 Uncultured Barbarian says GTA 5 and GTA Online are still incredibly popular and receive regular updates even seven years later.

01:54:14.000 Actually, the reason GTA 6 is taking so long to come out is because they still make insane amount of money off 5.

01:54:19.000 That's right.

01:54:20.000 Yeah, I know people who have been playing GTA 5 non-stop.

01:54:25.000 I mean, it's a great game.

01:54:26.000 It is.

01:54:27.000 It really, really is.

01:54:27.000 It's fun.

01:54:29.000 But here's the thing, like, do we just rest on our laurels now, or do we, like, can we just get a VR game that's, like, better than ever?

01:54:35.000 You know?

01:54:36.000 It's great that we reach this point where the game's just so good, we stop.

01:54:40.000 No, we gotta make even better games!

01:54:42.000 We gotta make GTA 10, where you can actually feel the objects that pick them up.

01:54:47.000 The haptic feedback's gonna be nice.

01:54:48.000 Yeah.

01:54:51.000 Mark Dello Russo says, question for Tim and Luke.

01:54:54.000 What books and or digital news magazines do you recommend?

01:54:57.000 Digital news magazines?

01:54:59.000 Are those a thing?

01:55:01.000 Digital news magazines.

01:55:02.000 Yeah, I mean.

01:55:04.000 Jacobin. 0.82

01:55:05.000 Yeah.

01:55:05.000 You sure about that?

01:55:06.000 Well, I would say Jacobin for the sake of understanding what your political rivals think.

01:55:11.000 I'm not a fan of socialism, but I did get a subscription to Jacobin for one reason.

01:55:14.000 Their defense of free speech on more than one occasion I respect, and they hate the Democrats, so I want to see their perspective on why they hate the Democrats.

01:55:22.000 It was what happened.

01:55:23.000 They wrote an article saying everybody hates the Democrats, and I was like, yes!

01:55:26.000 Correct.

01:55:26.000 Yes, this is true!

01:55:28.000 And I wanted to read it.

01:55:28.000 It was a scripture member only, but I thought, You know what?

01:55:32.000 I shouldn't enter looking at that magazine as though I'm going to be completely at odds with everything they say.

01:55:37.000 I should read it and try and figure out what we disagree on, and why they think those things, and what we do agree on.

01:55:44.000 So, I mean, for that matter, I don't know what conservative magazine- I don't subscribe to any other magazine, to be honest.

01:55:50.000 I just saw that and I was like, they're the actual non-establishment political faction that I typically disagree with, but we agree on a lot of things.

01:55:58.000 I should probably see what they're talking about because if there's something they're saying about hating Democrats, I'm like, I wonder where we can agree and like go against the establishment political class.

01:56:08.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:09.000 I don't really like magazines, but just to kind of answer your question a little bit, I do like John Pilger, even though I don't always agree with him.

01:56:17.000 I really love his documentaries, and I think they're very thought-provoking.

01:56:23.000 Dr. Doctor tries to make a South Park reference.

01:56:27.000 I'll read it anyway. 0.54

01:56:28.000 So you guys being into the Magic of the Gathering, are you guys into the hardcore cock magic scene?

01:56:33.000 Some pretty intense stuff from what I hear.

01:56:35.000 Supposedly there's this one rooster named Gadnok, Breaker of Worlds, who is undefeated.

01:56:40.000 South Park's great.

01:56:42.000 These guys are funny.

01:56:43.000 They did a really... I don't know why they did an episode of Magic the Gathering, but it was really funny.

01:56:47.000 And it didn't make sense.

01:56:49.000 Because it was just like... I get it, they didn't want to actually learn the rules of the game.

01:56:54.000 But it was like, there were roosters playing Magic the Gathering, and it was like, you know, cockfighting, and so the cops were involved.

01:57:00.000 Yeah, it was funny.

01:57:04.000 Yeah, a lot of people mentioning Tipper Gore was this moral authoritarian, so we stand corrected.

01:57:09.000 Absolutely.

01:57:10.000 Tipper Gore was the founder of the PMRC, the Parental Advisory Tags.

01:57:14.000 Luke, booing at the Australian Open.

01:57:16.000 The crowd allegedly was predominantly Serb and Russian because of the lurgy. 1.00

01:57:22.000 Got the indomitable Slavs. 1.00

01:57:24.000 I'm sorry, go the indomitable Slavs. 1.00

01:57:27.000 There you go, they were booing, that's great.

01:57:29.000 We like to express our opinions.

01:57:31.000 I like that, yeah.

01:57:32.000 Stoned Krampus says Ian constantly conflates his own mental experience and status with everyone else

01:57:37.000 I've been watching non-horror violent movies and playing violent video games since I was four

01:57:41.000 I learned to shoot at four started martial arts at five not once violent in 30 years

01:57:46.000 There you go DJ Madero says Tim Lydia Ian Luke you should read Arthur C.

01:57:55.000 Clarke's 3001 especially the sources and acknowledgments at the back

01:57:59.000 of the book It will blow your mind, the part about vacuum energy.

01:58:02.000 Interesting.

01:58:03.000 I recently learned something really crazy today about a new communications technology that is confidential and I can't talk about, that made me say, no way, and they're like, yup.

01:58:14.000 Something revolutionary on the horizon.

01:58:16.000 So it's like Einstein-level stuff.

01:58:19.000 I wonder if aliens are real.

01:58:21.000 And you know, the reason I say that is because normally I'm like, eh, it's probably military technology.

01:58:27.000 And then I had a conversation earlier with a confidential source, and I'm like, I don't believe this.

01:58:32.000 I don't believe the stuff they're talking about.

01:58:33.000 But we saw, we covered these segments where the UFO technology stuff, the warp drive stuff, I think we're getting close to a breakthrough in some kind of technological component.

01:58:41.000 I'm not really saying it's aliens.

01:58:42.000 But you have to imagine like at the turn of the century of the 1800s and 1900s

01:58:46.000 You had like the invention of the telephone coming out you had photographs

01:58:49.000 You like could you imagine what it must have been like?

01:58:52.000 To have to communicate by carrier pigeon and then all of a sudden some dude's got a piece of metal wire and you can

01:58:57.000 hear his voice

01:58:58.000 From the other side of the building you'd be like, whoa And then they lay the transatlantic cable and then all of a

01:59:04.000 sudden one day you wake up you could talk to people in london Boom, like that?

01:59:08.000 It's crazy.

01:59:09.000 I think, I think, you know, we're due for some kind of major expansion of technology.

01:59:13.000 It's been gradual, but we'll see.

01:59:15.000 Coach J says, much love IRL crew.

01:59:18.000 Rosa, speakin' truth. 0.98

01:59:20.000 Luke, get new curtains, not plaid.

01:59:37.000 I'd like my plaid background when I make my videos.

01:59:41.000 I'm a real fan.

01:59:42.000 Oh, I see, yeah.

01:59:45.000 Tovin Benson says, AMP for life.

01:59:47.000 Join the AMP-pire.

01:59:49.000 Look at the Flexa network and collateral altcoins.

01:59:52.000 Is AMP, is that a coin?

01:59:53.000 What?

01:59:54.000 Sounds right.

01:59:54.000 I did not understand that.

01:59:56.000 Yeah, I missed all of that.

01:59:58.000 Dblaze25 says, hey Tim, first time Super Chatter.

02:00:00.000 I am an up and coming Luthier and would love to build a free guitar for you.

02:00:04.000 What I'm specializing in is video game replica guitars.

02:00:07.000 I've built a Zelda Zora replica guitar.

02:00:10.000 Let me know.

02:00:10.000 Dude, I would love a custom built guitar.

02:00:15.000 What's a good video game?

02:00:17.000 You already said you did Zelda.

02:00:18.000 I'm not entirely sure what video game, but feel free to... I don't know what the easiest way to communicate with me is, honestly.

02:00:26.000 Send an email to... Which email is... You do Spin the UFO.

02:00:31.000 I talked about one.

02:00:31.000 Spintheufo at gmail.com.

02:00:33.000 Mention the guitar and we'll... That'd be awesome.

02:00:35.000 Because then we could actually have it.

02:00:36.000 We could use it for shows and stuff.

02:00:38.000 That is so cool.

02:00:39.000 Maybe we can get a...

02:00:42.000 I don't know, an IRL-themed guitar of some sort.

02:00:44.000 Oh yeah, like a UFO or something?

02:00:45.000 Yeah, like color scheme and... I have no idea, you know?

02:00:49.000 Like the Zeppelin?

02:00:50.000 The Harump Zeppelin?

02:00:52.000 Yeah, that was cool, that was cool stuff.

02:00:53.000 Or something like that.

02:00:55.000 It's kind of steampunk.

02:00:56.000 Chris Logan says, Julio, I was in the USMCR too.

02:01:00.000 I remember my command specifically not wanting us to get involved in anything political.

02:01:03.000 How do you get away with it in this political environment?

02:01:06.000 Also, boot.

02:01:07.000 Yes, I am a boot.

02:01:09.000 Boot pogue reservist.

02:01:11.000 It's just the worst of all.

02:01:15.000 So if you're active duty, there is a lot more restrictions on you as a person.

02:01:22.000 You have Senator Dan Sullivan from Alaska.

02:01:24.000 He's still in the Marine Corps Reserves and he's a colonel.

02:01:27.000 So, basically, there is a little bit more... Tulsi Gabbard, right?

02:01:30.000 Tulsi Gabbard, yeah, she was, I mean, she... Adam Kinzinger, I mean, he's making news all the time now these days, but he's still in the Air National Guard, so there are ways to do it.

02:01:41.000 Just for me, personally, I obviously, the main thing is, I was actually telling you guys earlier, just don't, you can't do obvious political endorsements of any particular candidate.

02:01:52.000 Unless yourself.

02:01:55.000 I guess so, yeah.

02:01:56.000 Tulsi was a major in the National Guard.

02:01:58.000 Yeah, that's you.

02:02:01.000 Even though she really didn't have much of a chance, but there was that discussion.

02:02:04.000 If she did become president, she would be the commander-in-chief, but what would happen to her rank?

02:02:09.000 She gets a promotion.

02:02:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:02:11.000 Couldn't she appoint herself as a general? 0.94

02:02:13.000 That was a little bit of an interesting discussion.

02:02:18.000 But yeah, so that's why I stick to when it comes to really hot topics.

02:02:23.000 That's why when I cover riots and on the ground coverage, it's just neutral.

02:02:27.000 It's just record what I see.

02:02:28.000 Because not only just because I think that's just what journalism should be.

02:02:33.000 Um, but obviously when, you know, when you have all these detractors and all these people in the media that want to discredit your work, you don't want to give them an excuse because they say, oh, well, he's an audio log.

02:02:43.000 He's just there to, and you're like, yes, I work for a conservative website, but I specifically make it a point to do just neutral coverage.

02:02:51.000 And, and, and really that's what, cause that's what people want.

02:02:54.000 Number one.

02:02:54.000 And so I'm serving the readers.

02:02:56.000 And also, too, when it comes to those types of events, I don't need to inject my opinion as it's happening.

02:03:00.000 No, I do provide, like, analysis and opinion after the fact, after I've had time to actually, like, digest what I've seen, what I reported on, and that really came in handy with the Britten House shooting, because I saw the second half of that.

02:03:11.000 Yeah.

02:03:12.000 At the time, I had no idea what this guy did.

02:03:14.000 I didn't know the context of what led to the first set of shootings, because I'm really good friends with Richie, and he was there.

02:03:19.000 I don't know, you guys had him on?

02:03:21.000 Yeah, of course.

02:03:23.000 That really came in handy, because then, when I was able to look further into the evidence and seeing that, I could have a bigger picture, so then when I was interviewed, I could give a clearer image on what I saw and what my friends saw.

02:03:36.000 It's just very important, in my view, to have it that way.

02:03:40.000 Now, I do have opinions, I do have facts, but I make sure I kind of fall within the line of the regulations.

02:03:45.000 I have a question.

02:03:46.000 I don't know if you know the answer to.

02:03:47.000 Can the president choose any... Does he appoint generals?

02:03:49.000 He does, right?

02:03:50.000 Yeah, he does nominations, yeah.

02:03:52.000 So he nominates and then they get confirmed.

02:03:54.000 Excuse me.

02:03:55.000 Well, they kind of go through it.

02:03:56.000 Well, I'm not entirely sure, but he does appoint generals.

02:04:01.000 I'm wondering if he could just pick a random person?

02:04:04.000 Do they have to be in the armed forces or something?

02:04:06.000 Well, yeah, they would have to be.

02:04:08.000 He's like the commander-in-chief, you know?

02:04:10.000 But they have to be in the military.

02:04:12.000 Well, I was thinking this because I saw this tweet from Jack Posobiec about Kazimir Pulaski, who was like this amazing dude.

02:04:18.000 And people from Chicago know the name Pulaski.

02:04:20.000 It's like a name of one of our biggest streets, and we've got train stations named after him.

02:04:24.000 and he founded the American Revolutionary Cavalry.

02:04:27.000 Came from Poland, I think it was like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time, I'm not sure.

02:04:31.000 And then they like lost some conflict and then he came here and aided the Americans and he's honored.

02:04:37.000 He's one of only eight people who are honorary American citizens.

02:04:40.000 He was awarded it posthumously.

02:04:42.000 But I think about the American Revolution, and there were many circumstances where somebody was just given a

02:04:46.000 commission.

02:04:47.000 Like, some ranking officer was like, congratulations, sir, you now have rank over all these men.

02:04:51.000 Yeah.

02:04:51.000 It's like, does that happen in the modern military?

02:04:53.000 No.

02:04:54.000 Yeah, I didn't think so.

02:04:55.000 Yeah, no, that was back in the ye olden days.

02:04:57.000 Yeah.

02:04:58.000 It was when anything goes back.

02:04:59.000 Now it's like, if you want to, now they'll just contract someone, but you can't have any command or anything like that, right?

02:05:04.000 Or how would that work?

02:05:05.000 What do you mean?

02:05:06.000 Like, so let's say they hire a private military contractor.

02:05:08.000 Oh, oh, a contractor, oh, okay.

02:05:09.000 Yeah, so like, you know, what is Blackwater called these days?

02:05:11.000 Aegis or Academy or Z?

02:05:14.000 Well, let's say you've got paramilitaries hired by the U.S.

02:05:17.000 government and they're operating in, say, Iraq, and there are American military units also in a similar position.

02:05:25.000 How does that work?

02:05:26.000 You know, does the contractor who's being paid by the government to complete a task, are they able to tell the American, you know, combat, you know, infantry or whatever to back off or to move in or anything like that?

02:05:37.000 I don't know if you know the answer.

02:05:38.000 No, that I don't know.

02:05:39.000 Like I said, I haven't deployed or haven't had to deal with any of that.

02:05:41.000 I'm sure someone else can provide some more context to that.

02:05:43.000 I mean, I'm sure there's like rules of engagement and chain of command stuff, but I mean, I just don't have experience in that.

02:05:49.000 Word.

02:05:49.000 All right, we got Kristen Larson says, Matt Larson, quote, the father of modern combatives is awesome and you try to have him on your show, the left tried to cancel him.

02:05:59.000 Your name is Kristen Larson and you're promoting someone named Matt Larson.

02:06:01.000 Are you related to this individual?

02:06:02.000 Trying to promote them.

02:06:03.000 Conflict of interest.

02:06:04.000 All right, let's see.

02:06:06.000 Politically Defiant says, Tim, in your 10am video you spoke of Trump and Musk, questioning why they themselves don't create a social network, banking along with digital and physical infrastructure, required to be free of big tech.

02:06:18.000 Answer is simple, they themselves are insulated.

02:06:21.000 Yup.

02:06:23.000 Daedalus62 says, Adam gave his rib for Eve.

02:06:26.000 When they come together to, uh, they become one.

02:06:28.000 They complete each other.

02:06:30.000 Interesting.

02:06:31.000 Very nice.

02:06:32.000 Well, let's, uh, let's, let's just read one more super chat here.

02:06:34.000 Well, we're gonna read two, because someone, just for some reason, Nombot says, Chrono Trigger.

02:06:39.000 Oh! 0.60

02:06:40.000 Oh, Chrono Trigger.

02:06:41.000 For a guitar.

02:06:41.000 That's a cool, cool one.

02:06:43.000 Chrono Trigger is one of the best games ever made.

02:06:44.000 I don't know if I'd be super into it, but I, I, maybe.

02:06:47.000 It's a good game.

02:06:48.000 Yeah.

02:06:50.000 Elka Zawarudo says, Tim, what's your favorite anime slash manga?

02:06:55.000 I love when you talk about One Punch Man and no one else knew what you were talking about, but I can appreciate a man of culture.

02:07:00.000 Have you watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

02:07:02.000 I haven't, but man have I seen the memes.

02:07:04.000 My favorite anime manga?

02:07:06.000 Man, I don't know.

02:07:07.000 None.

02:07:07.000 That's tough.

02:07:08.000 You guys say none?

02:07:10.000 No anime.

02:07:12.000 No anime?

02:07:13.000 No.

02:07:14.000 You guys aren't cultured and refined?

02:07:16.000 Elon Musk posted pictures of anime cat girls.

02:07:20.000 Don't care.

02:07:21.000 That's weird.

02:07:23.000 I liked, what was the one about where they go into the video game?

02:07:28.000 There's a bunch.

02:07:30.000 There's a ton of them.

02:07:33.000 Sword Art Online?

02:07:35.000 Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

02:07:37.000 I liked Sword Art in the first season, but then it just got repetitive, I thought.

02:07:41.000 I was a big fan for a really long time of Bleach and Naruto, but those are obvious picks.

02:07:45.000 Those are like the top tier anime.

02:07:47.000 I never watched one piece.

02:07:48.000 There isn't technically a Pokemon anime, too.

02:07:50.000 Yeah, and when I was a kid, I really liked it, but man, was that show not good.

02:07:54.000 Like, wow.

02:07:56.000 That's just... I look back, I'm like, what is it about this where I was excited to watch it?

02:07:59.000 I was a little kid, I guess.

02:07:59.000 A theme song.

02:08:00.000 Pokemon!

02:08:01.000 Yeah, that's right.

02:08:02.000 I'll admit, the theme song's good.

02:08:03.000 Yeah, right now there's a couple that are really well.

02:08:06.000 Black Clover's really good.

02:08:07.000 What's the one about the doctor?

02:08:09.000 Dr. Stone?

02:08:10.000 Yeah.

02:08:10.000 Dr. Stone's cool.

02:08:12.000 My Hero Academia is probably my favorite right now.

02:08:14.000 That was good, yeah.

02:08:14.000 But I don't really keep up with a lot of these shows as much as I used to when I was younger because I don't really watch TV anymore.

02:08:19.000 What would you pick if you had to pick one?

02:08:21.000 Right now, if I was gonna turn on Crunchyroll... If you're gonna be like, for all the humans to come here, let me throw one at you guys so you have it forever. 0.52

02:08:30.000 If I had to, like, give someone a historical anime to watch, I have no idea, man.

02:08:34.000 Dragon Ball.

02:08:35.000 The whole Dragon Ball arc.

02:08:36.000 I mean, just because it's the classic and it laid the foundation for a lot of these elements.

02:08:39.000 Yu Yu Hakusho, probably.

02:08:41.000 I would say that.

02:08:42.000 If I was telling someone, like, I would say watch Yu Yu Hakusho for sure.

02:08:46.000 But I would say right now, if I was going to turn on Crunchyroll and watch an anime, it would probably be My Hero Academia.

02:08:52.000 Um, maybe... I don't know.

02:08:55.000 There's another one, I can't remember what it's called, but that, you know, Black Clover, and probably My Hero Academia.

02:08:59.000 They're very similar.

02:09:00.000 Maybe you want to watch Dragon Ball.

02:09:01.000 It's just classic.

02:09:02.000 The original Dragon Ball, then Dragon Ball Z, are just like the classic elements of a lot of the anime that, you know, that are now really popular these days, so.

02:09:11.000 I thought, um...

02:09:12.000 Cowboy Bebop's pretty spectacular.

02:09:14.000 Oh, man, I can't believe I missed that.

02:09:16.000 The music, especially.

02:09:17.000 Definitely.

02:09:17.000 There's just so much about it.

02:09:19.000 If I had to tell someone, like, the one anime you had to watch for, like, the historical record, if I was gonna put on a golden disc and blast off into outer space, Cowboy Bebop.

02:09:25.000 Really?

02:09:26.000 That would be it?

02:09:26.000 Over Dragon Ball?

02:09:27.000 Oh, definitely.

02:09:28.000 Really?

02:09:29.000 Well, if you want to explain, like, anime tropes, you want to do Dragon Ball, but if you want to show, like, the best people, like, people like Luke, he's got this look on his face.

02:09:37.000 Me and Julio.

02:09:37.000 He's like the main guy.

02:09:41.000 I'm spaced out for the past five minutes.

02:09:44.000 Cowboy Bebop is about, it's like sci-fi bounty hunters, and the main character is like, he knows Jeet Kune Do, and he's a big fan of Bruce Lee, and it's like gangster.

02:09:54.000 It's like, Like almost 1930s style gangster, but in sci-fi space it is one of the best shows ever.

02:09:59.000 Like Firefly, you ever see that movie?

02:10:01.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:10:02.000 And the jazz music is just incredible stuff.

02:10:05.000 I'll leave it at that.
