On today's show, we have Drew Holden on the show to talk about the latest in liberal hypocrisy, including Joe Biden's attack on Syria, a giant golden Trump at CPAC, and a strange object being spotted floating over an airplane.
00:01:16.000Joe Biden just launched an airstrike on Syria.
00:01:19.000And all of a sudden, all these Democrats are like, actually, this time it's okay, even though many of them were saying that Donald Trump had no authority to do this.
00:01:31.000Well, look, my respect to the progressives who are calling out Joe Biden really angry because they were like, yo, I voted for you to get me a check not to blow up kids in a foreign country.
00:01:41.000But I'm kind of like, you know, we warned you, man.
00:01:45.000And all I can really say is welcome to the fight.
00:01:47.000Thank you for pushing back on this insanity.
00:03:45.000And if you want to support Nostradamus, you could also buy my t-shirts, like the one I'm wearing right now, which we're going to be talking about later in a related story, which you could exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.

00:05:57.000We did one yesterday talking about Lady Gaga's dogs getting kidnapped and how Luke and I were threatening to go John Wick on anybody who threatens our pets.
00:06:05.000If you want to hear it, TimCast.com, become a member.
00:06:07.000But let's talk about this first story.
00:06:08.000It's a Friday night, everybody, and we're going to make sure that you're getting only the best of entertainment.
00:07:23.000They say Chinese officials who forced — they forced American diplomats to undergo bum-bum swabs for COVID-19 did so in error.
00:07:31.000The State Department told The Hill on Thursday, as Beijing denies it conducted the tests at all.
00:07:36.000The Washington Post reported last week that U.S.
00:07:38.000officials had said some American personnel in China complained that they were being subjected to anal swab tests for coronavirus by Chinese authorities.
00:07:46.000This is so obvious what they're doing.
00:07:48.000They're doing this to subjugate and humiliate.
00:08:03.000Because there was official US government sources coming ... out just a few days ago talking about how China was ... trying to get the covid test that were used in order to get ... DNA samples from Americans so they could better ... predictively predict the market and dominated in the ... pharma industrial complex game yes I'm not kidding you.
00:08:22.000China now is on this huge rampage of them trying to get as much information as they can.
00:08:27.000They understand information is the new oil.
00:08:30.000They've been on this huge race trying to get as much as they can because they know, hey, if we get everyone's DNA, we're going to know what they're going to get sick of in the future.
00:08:38.000That we're going to know what ailments are going to ... have we're going to know what pills to make what medicine to ... make to sell it back to the United States at a cheaper ... profit that we're going to mass-produce and we're going ... to outcompete the other competitors in this larger ... pharma industrial complex so this was a legit thing that ... they're talking about and there's a reason politicians ... bring their own toilets when they visit other countries the ... information you get from your you know what.
00:09:01.000extremely important and and many politicians literally I mean there's
00:09:06.000there's reasons Secret Service literally has a detail probably ones with the bad
00:09:11.000political opinions but the Secret Service has a detail that that is in
00:09:15.000charge of collecting the president's poop to make sure a foreign country
00:09:18.000doesn't get it because if they do they'll yes yep I'm telling you so this
00:09:23.000is this is this is more than just ridicule in my opinion It wouldn't surprise me if these larger butt probes were done in a way to get the DNA of U.S.
00:09:34.000diplomats in some kind of larger information grab that, of course, the Chinese will use to their advantage in their fifth generational warfare, larger propaganda efforts that they're in charge of.
00:09:54.000You're just jo- I'm like, I'm not joking!
00:09:56.000Like, I'm telling you, this is coming.
00:09:58.000And this little thing with the diplomats is only going to, of course, be the start of this since they're going to be expanding this and other countries are going to recognize, hey, you can get everyone's DNA.
00:12:42.000I mean, Dr. Fauci was literally responsible and was one of the bigger founders behind that Level 3, Level Wuhan laboratory inside of China.
00:12:52.000Not many people want to talk about this, but they were doing gain-of-function data studies on the coronaviruses linked to bats, specifically talking about how they can engineer them.
00:13:01.000Again, not trying to come up with any theories here.
00:13:03.000I'm just stating some facts that were talked about by the US mainstream media and admitted to them.
00:13:09.000But it's an important fact to understand here that this did happen.
00:13:12.000I mean, New Yorker had a piece that explored this concept, right?
00:13:15.000And I think one of the things that we probably don't give China enough credit for is they are evaluating different ways of fighting asymmetric warfare, of thinking about ways that they can get a jump on the United States, and that's everything from building new battleships to exploring the ways that they can use biological weapons and biological tools.
00:13:30.000And exploring the rectums of these U.S.
00:13:32.000Speaking of exploring, Tim, I'm also with you, I think, on your earlier point, too, because I think some of this is just a power game, right?
00:13:38.000I'm reminded of how during the Cold War, the U.S.
00:13:43.000State Department—this is back when we were tough and good at things, I think, a long, long time ago in U.S.
00:13:47.000foreign policy—the Russia desk would only hire diplomats from the United States who were men who were over six feet, because they wanted to make sure that There is a better chance that they would be able to physically look down on their Russian counterparts.
00:15:08.000And I was actually talking, I've talked to people who have advanced scientific degrees This is one of those conversations you can't have, but they did tell me you can design things that only attack certain genomes.
00:15:32.000has been talking about bioweapons, especially with some classified documentation that came out for a very long time, ever since the Vietnam War.
00:15:40.000Now, as far as how clandestine and how overt they are, we don't know, because a lot of it is clandestine.
00:15:45.000A lot of it is something that we don't know.
00:15:49.000Whether on China, they just do everything out in the open, but also with, you know, you have to understand, you could get someone's DNA from a nose swab.
00:15:57.000You could also get it from a behind swab, not a swab, a probe.
00:16:01.000You can get it from a butt probe as well.
00:16:03.000So they most likely, now the Chinese, have a whole bunch of DNA samples on all the U.S.
00:16:08.000diplomats that willingly took their pants off when the Chinese government said, take them off!
00:16:12.000And they did, which is, I mean, just imagine being a U.S.
00:16:15.000diplomat and just saying, yeah, sure, China, here.
00:16:18.000Instead of being like, I'll get on a plane and leave right now.
00:17:23.000I would assume not only because they spend so much time on American properties, right, on embassies and consulates.
00:17:28.000The interesting thing, though, this is something I could have expected from the American media, because they very much live under the thumb of Beijing while they're over there.
00:17:36.000But you would think that the American diplomatic corps would have a little bit more dignity, a little bit more self-esteem, and a little bit more of an ability to push back and say, no, no, we're not going to do this.
00:17:46.000But listen, we're living in strange times.
00:18:04.000That's the scary reality of everything that's going on.
00:18:07.000And I think so much of it is they want to see, and this to me more than anything else is, they want to see what they can get away with.
00:18:13.000In so many ways, this is just a microcosm of the sorts of things that they're doing in the South China Sea, the sorts of things they're doing in Tibet, the sorts of things that they're doing investing in Africa and Eastern Europe.
00:18:24.000So much of this is a power play, and it's how far can we push the big guy on the block, the United States, and get away with doing this kind of stuff?
00:18:35.000If the Belt and Road program can run through traditional U.S.
00:18:38.000allies across Africa, if we can muscle our way into Tibet, if we can muscle our way into Hong Kong, Why can't we do some rear-end swabs on US diplomats?
00:18:53.000They probably don't think it's that big of a deal, but it's just one more grain of sand making a bigger heap where China says, we can do whatever we want.
00:18:59.000We can go to an American and say, take off your pants and bend over right now.
00:19:09.000I was looking at the sources like, we need to confirm this.
00:19:12.000We were talking about this a few weeks ago.
00:19:14.000A few weeks ago, we were saying, hey, China has developed a new way to test for COVID and it's going up your buttocks three inches to swab you.
00:19:21.000And I'm like, this is not what you think it is.
00:19:52.000And so much of this too is, it's China stepping back and not just pushing to see where they can go, forgive the pun, but probing where the weaknesses are.
00:20:04.000diplomats don't have a level head about them in terms of the decisions they're going to make, the power that they're going to stand up against, and the things that they're unwilling to do?
00:20:12.000And I think the more they do that... I want to use this to jump to the next segment.
00:20:15.000We'll talk about the weakness of the United States.
00:20:18.000So we have this story that came up a little while ago from Military.com.
00:20:21.000Dozens of House Democrats call on Biden to give up sole nuclear launch authority.
00:20:26.000This is crazy, but it shouldn't be unexpected.
00:21:30.000But I'm sorry, he is a senile old crackpot.
00:21:33.000who was elected without the ability to be president and now democrats are saying he
00:21:36.000should give up the sole power of the nuclear launch. He just bombed Syria. Okay, let me just
00:21:42.000get this out really quick. I don't know much about this bombing of Syria. I read some mainstream news
00:21:46.000articles from NBC and some other and they were like, it's in retaliation to Iran.
00:21:51.000Okay, obviously NBC is going to say that.
00:21:52.000The other one was, this is actually a perverse way of improving diplomatic relations with Iran because it's going to be forcing them to the, whatever.
00:22:03.000Well, so let me read some of this story from military.com.
00:22:05.000They say nearly three dozen House Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to relinquish his sole authority to order the launch of nuclear weapons, arguing that no single person should wield apocalyptic military power.
00:22:17.000They say vesting one person with this authority entails real risks.
00:22:20.000Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that causes other officials to express concerns about the president's judgment, according to the letter, which was spearheaded by California reps Jimmy Panetta and Ted Lieu.
00:22:34.000Now, interestingly, Nancy Pelosi tried doing this with Donald Trump in I believe it was what like it after November Yeah, she went to the Joint Chiefs.
00:22:43.000I believe it was the Joint Chiefs and she said Block Trump's ability to order missile strikes and they said ma'am that would be a military coup.
00:22:50.000We can't do that The commander-in-chief has the ability to fire the nukes.
00:22:57.000It sounds to me like Look, it's gonna say as cliche as possible.
00:23:02.000All of these things are just ripping this country into a million pieces That's it.
00:23:06.000Well, you know, I never agree with politicians, but these politicians make sense.
00:23:11.000When they're talking about one person on this earth that has the power to press one button and end the human race, I'm sorry, that's a little bit too much power.
00:23:21.000When we're going to be engaging in nuclear war, we're engaging in a war that's going to end civilizations as we know it.
00:24:26.000The Chinese communist dictator, you know, Xi Jinping is going to be like, I can launch all of the nuclear weapons, and they will have no time to retaliate.
00:24:36.000China will succeed, our cities will be fine, and every nuke will explode over America before they even realize it.
00:24:42.000I guess you could automate a defensive response and only, you know, federate the offensive to like six people that need to agree and turn a key at the same time.
00:24:50.000There's something really convenient about just having one.
00:24:53.000There's a reason why we have a president who is the commander-in-chief.
00:24:57.000It's so that we can respond quickly and instantly to serious militaristic threats.
00:25:01.000Well, maybe just add one more person that's sound mind that's next to him.
00:25:19.000When we created the nuclear weapons, we were like, Mr. President, they're yours.
00:25:21.000When we created the Office of the President and gave them all that executive power, we didn't have nuclear weapons that could end the human race.
00:25:26.000So the problem is, unless you can answer me this, when China and Russia know, as autocrats, they can snap their fingers and bluff the U.S.
00:25:34.000and we can't respond, what defense do we have?
00:25:36.000I don't think Biden could respond anyway.
00:26:11.000It really does beg the question of, if we don't trust him with this, with this responsibility of a president, right?
00:26:15.000Because that's all, like, we can fight about who, whose it should be, but if this is a duly charged role of the president, and we can't trust him to do this, then what else can't we trust him to do, right?
00:26:26.000In what other settings does he not, is he not someone we want to be presidential?
00:26:30.000If we can't trust him to be the only one with his finger on the trigger for the nuclear buttons, do we trust him one-on-one in a room with Xi Jinping or with Putin?
00:28:09.000They're not meant to respond very, very quickly when we're being attacked.
00:28:12.000The president can declare a state of emergency and take unilateral action, and that's their excuse for bombing Syria, which is dumb because Syria's not doing anything to us.
00:28:21.000The problem is, they hated Trump so much that they were like, we would rather have... Listen, I'm gonna stop.
00:28:28.000They said, when Donald Trump got elected, you know, there's a lot of Republicans saying, you're attacking the pilot of the plane because you don't like the way he talks over the intercom, you're gonna make the plane crash.
00:28:38.000They hated Trump so much, because as he's flying the plane, he gets in the intercom and he won't shut up, and you're like, just stop, right?
00:28:46.000doting you know some dotard is sitting there drooling all over himself and like I want him to fly the plane and
00:28:52.000Now they put it the sleepy creepy Joe who's sitting in the pilot seat drooling on himself sleeping in the planes going
00:28:57.000Like falling down and they're like better than the guy yelling at us for you know the entire plane ride and right
00:29:03.000he had two brain aneurysms my goodness, I mean
00:29:08.000Yeah Also, the timing of this is very important because this letter came out right before he unilaterally decided to launch airstrikes on Syria.
00:29:23.000Of course, without constitutional approval, without congressional authorization, And according to many, illegal under international law, but really just continuing the policy that Barack Obama codified in 2014 and just bombed another country without any kind of oversight, transparency, or even accountability.
00:29:55.000And it's kind of like, you know, I mentioned this before, they love outsourcing jobs, they love outsourcing factories, and then they don't want any of it here.
00:30:02.000It's almost like a not-in-my-backyard thing.
00:30:04.000Oh, we want the oil, we want the gas, but not in my backyard.
00:30:11.000And, like, listen, it's got to hurt of all of the people who it probably stings for, these strikes, it has to hurt the worst for Neera Tanden, who famously said that we are going to attack Libya to take the oil.
00:30:23.000And now she is seeing us attack Syria for no good reason.
00:30:27.000And she's probably, like, her eyes are probably lighting up with dollar signs at the very thought of it.
00:30:31.000And yet her confirmation is going to get railroaded because she's Because she tweeted a bunch of really dumb things.
00:30:36.000Yeah, that, but also she's by all indications a bad person.
00:30:39.000She punched a reporter one time, which I don't think you're supposed to do.
00:30:42.000And perhaps one of the most awful things, even if you just look at it the way that the Dems see the world, but I think the way that we all see the world too, is she, in an all-staff meeting, she outed one of her employees at CAP when she worked there at the think tank.
00:30:56.000For bringing charges of sexual harassment against their boss.
00:31:00.000And so as they were, as they were talking about it, she just outed this, this, this private concern and complaint.
00:31:05.000Um, the people, the people who are, who are look, man, the federal government is just a swamp.
00:32:09.000Joe Biden even tweeted that Trump was erratic, impulsive, and it's the last thing a commander-in-chief should do when, of course, Donald Trump bombed Syria because his daughter cried.
00:32:18.000Ivanka Trump cried to him and told him to do it after the alleged chemical weapons attack, which there have been some very serious questions about and a lot of evidence countering.
00:32:29.000All the information, but the big thing here we have to understand here is when Donald Trump bombed Syria, there was at least some kind of fake attempt to frame some kind of evidence.
00:34:27.000Now, many of these younger people probably fall for garbage emotional manipulation from a lot of these leftist grifters, but let's pull this thread we have from the man himself, Drew Holden, and your tweet reads, It seems not all pointless foreign wars are created equally.
00:34:42.000In the eyes of the Democrats, the media, and the chattering class, when Trump hit Syria was an outrage.
00:34:53.000So I was going through it today and I looked and I saw a lot of the... I was reminded very quickly of what happened in 2017 and 2018 where there was enormous criticism of Donald Trump hit Syria.
00:35:02.000I'm sure I was probably critical of it too.
00:35:04.000I saw it and I was like, yeah, I'm not sure I'm well about this one.
00:35:51.000So, what I found very quickly was that, for whatever reason, all of the people who were incredibly critical in 2017 and 2018 were not critical, or the best one, I think, the one I start off with, so usually the way I structure these is, I'll hit the members of Congress first, and then the media, and then whomever, right, Blue Jacks?
00:36:07.000But the first one I had to start it with is a phenomenal side-by-side.
00:36:10.000It's Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC fame.
00:36:12.000Back in 2018, he had tweeted, Dear News Media, If you think Trump has constitutional authority to attack Syria, please say why.
00:36:19.000If you're not sure, please ask the question.
00:36:21.000Please stop using the phrase constitutional crisis, as it can only refer to firing people, not missiles.
00:36:28.000Very concerned was Lawrence O'Donnell then.
00:36:30.000Lo and behold, yesterday, last night, right after all of this goes down, he tweets out a link to his upcoming show that has Ben Rhodes, failed MFA, failed short story writer turned policy wonk, apparently Ben Rhodes, and Lawrence O'Donnell tweets, Ben Rhodes has been in the room when the president orders a proportional response.
00:36:51.000And he has him on and they talk about why this specific attack made total sense, complete and total sense.
00:36:56.000Well, look, Drew, you just misunderstand.
00:37:00.000It has always been the position of the Democrats that bombing Syria is a good thing.
00:37:07.000Now, the issue isn't that Donald Trump was bombing Syria.
00:37:10.000The issue was that the man who ordered them happened to have been orange.
00:37:16.000And so I think it's interesting because a lot of Democratic politicians very much went with that sort of mentality and thread.
00:37:22.000My favorite, Nancy Pelosi, she tweeted, this is in 2017, so right after these first strikes, retweet if you agree, which is a horrible thing to put in a tweet.
00:37:33.000In terms of a little Twitter one-on-one, please, for the love of God, don't do that.
00:37:36.000Retweet if you agree that Congress has a responsibility to immediately debate President Trump's actions in Syria.
00:37:41.000Which is hysterical because back then, in 2017, she had no power to bring everyone back in and force everyone to have this conversation.
00:37:49.000She is now the Speaker of the House who could call back Congress tomorrow!
00:37:54.000She could force them to have this conversation.
00:39:55.000A lot of anonymous government sources are coming out and they're not putting their name behind this, but they're saying this was defensive.
00:40:03.000Little is known about the group, including whether it is backed by Iran or related to organizations that used the facilities for the American airstrikes targeted on Thursday.
00:40:34.000If you repeat it, this is WMDs all over again, if you just repeat it over and over and over again, It becomes part of the conversation.
00:40:41.000But another big thing to realize here, the Iranian forces in Syria are the ones that are partly responsible for crushing ISIS, al-Qaeda, and al-Nusra and other Sunni radical groups.
00:40:54.000The Iranians are basically Shiite groups that are fighting against the Sunnis And if it wasn't for the Iranians and the Syrians working together, ISIS would still have a huge foothold inside of Syria.
00:41:05.000So by Biden and by Donald Trump attacking the Syrian government, they're attacking the people that are stopping ISIS that's spreading radical jihadism and terrorism all over the West.
00:42:20.000So how long until we have war with Iran?
00:42:22.000I mean, they've been trying to do this. John Bolton said, what did John Bolton say?
00:42:26.000By this time next year, we will be celebrating in Tehran.
00:42:28.000He was wrong on his timeline, but we have to understand what Syria is, it's not about Syria.
00:42:32.000Syria is a larger proxy war between the United States, Russia and also China in some ways China has actually even sent some support to the Syrians China has a very close relationship with the Iranians so does Russia so there's probably going to be another proxy war just like we're seeing in Yemen just like we're seeing in Syria just like we've seen already play out in in Libya.
00:42:56.000That's going to take place in Iran but another big thing to really kind of calculate here and understand this larger web that the military industrial complex paints to you is the fact that it was the it was the Gulf War after 2001 in 2003 when the Gulf War was launched that made Iran such a powerhouse in the Middle East region because it got rid of one of their chief competitors Iraq and their sphere of influence Actually grew they became more powerful because of the war ... in Iraq so again these neoconservatives literally ... created the boogeyman and we could even talk about the CIA ... coup in the 50s and and all this other stuff but but the ... fingerprints on the military industrial complex.
00:43:38.000On the neoconservatives is literally create the boogeyman ... let's finance Isis let's make Iran more popular in the region ... and let's go to war with them next they're literally creating ... their own problems but they're not coming to you and saying ... well we have to you know we can't give you that $2,000 ... check we can't give you $50 minimum wage we got this huge ... threat we got a fight that conveniently we made happen ... and that's the big lie sold to the American people who just ... conveniently keep forgetting American history.
00:44:07.000But I'm just absolutely flabbergasted and so disappointed in people, especially in the mainstream media, that don't talk about these events in relevant timelines that actually give people a perspective to see what's happening here because we are essentially paying for the destruction of this country by putting us in these quagmires.
00:44:25.000Meanwhile, China, they're having our lunch.
00:44:27.000We've got we actually have a breaking news.
00:44:29.000And they're going to be doing a lot more with their global hegemony which they're going to take over with their
00:44:35.000policies rather than our Self-destructive hurting policies that put us in debt and
00:44:39.000send our American troops into harm's way for what we've got we actually have a
00:44:43.000Breaking news we have exclusive Oh yeah.
00:44:47.000An exclusive photograph of Joe Biden actually making the switch between giving checks to the American people and dropping a bomb.
00:44:55.000And as you can see, he's wearing a leather jacket and a, what is it?
00:46:32.000And it doesn't have to happen in Iran.
00:46:34.000As long as we keep the communication going and keep people aware that we should not be going into Iran, that these bombings are out of order, then I think we won't go anywhere.
00:46:41.000Well, another thing to kind of add here, just really quickly, is the fact that China's taking over the world through trade.
00:46:47.000We're taking it over through military blunders that indebt us forever, and that's not achieving anything.
00:48:03.000I don't know don't know a whole lot about it, but I saw this video on Twitter and it's a it's a one of their reporters is walking down the street filming probably my assumption is he was filming like this is what the lockdown looked at looks like you know I'm out here showing the people and the cops gave him a fine and said we don't care they wrote him a ticket curfew for an adult man walking down an empty street now listen I mentioned that that's not the worst of it this story was sent to me and at first I was like what is this a guy's being charged sexual assault at Metro quarantine hotel woman says she felt helpless what is this And she said she felt helpless at a hotel where she didn't expect to end up and where she was told she wasn't allowed to disclose her location.
00:48:40.000Quote, they didn't tell you where they were taking you, which is unacceptable.
00:48:54.000To the rest of these people, it's normal that this woman was flying back to her home and was apprehended by the authorities for breaking no crime, told she couldn't tell anyone what was going on, she couldn't report anything on social media, she couldn't give her location out, they brought her to an undisclosed location where she was assaulted.
00:49:10.000They're literally taking people who have broken no laws, locking them up.
00:49:16.000And the problem with all of this too is, it's the case in Canada I'm sure, it's certainly the case in the United States, when you empower government to do things, right?
00:49:25.000We've seen this with the Patriot Act, we've seen this with lots and lots of things.
00:49:28.000When you allow governments to have lots and lots of power and lots and lots of authority that is relatively unchecked against everyday life and against everyday civilians, they don't give them back quickly, right?
00:49:38.000The coronavirus cases are down like 75, 77% I think in the last couple of weeks, right?
00:49:43.000And despite that, has your life changed?
00:50:08.000But what happens when government gets these powers is that a bureaucracy that is empowered to make these sorts of decisions is always going to think they are going to make the right decision.
00:50:18.000They are not going to give you the power and authority back.
00:50:20.000And it has been, I think, to me, really incredible.
00:50:23.000Despite the fact that the cases are falling and deaths are falling, life isn't actually returning to normal in all of the places where all of these lockdown restrictions have been put in place.
00:50:31.000And Canada, obviously, is a nightmarish example of this.
00:50:34.000But we're not that far from this kind of stuff.
00:50:50.000And here's the thing too, like, listen, if all he would say, it blows my mind because all he would have to do, absent this power conversation, if he's someone who just wants to see people get the vaccine, you know what you do?
00:50:59.000You tell them how great the vaccine is.
00:51:01.000We have managed in the span of a very limited amount of time to come up with a revolutionary virus because of the power of American R&D and research.
00:51:27.000Another thing I wanted to bring up is before, you know, forcing the strictest lockdowns, the Canadian government also disarmed a large public of the Canadian citizenry.
00:51:36.000And we had politicians like Justin Trudeau that was in October of 2020 telling its citizenry
00:51:42.000don't believe the conspiracy theories that there's going to be government quarantine camps. It's a
00:51:48.000conspiracy theory. Don't believe it. It's not going to happen. And here we are today when you enter
00:51:55.000Canada. It's not a camp. It's a Sheraton hotel.
00:52:12.000And there's still a lot of legitimate questions surrounding the vaccine that I do believe should be asked for my own personal opinion.
00:52:19.000Yeah, you would think that with kind of like a propaganda campaign in favor of the vaccine, that people like Dr. Fauci would be super rah-rah about it.
00:53:40.000And it was Operation Warp Speed that Trump streamlined the process to ramp everything through really, really quickly and provide massive funding for all this and guaranteed contracts.
00:53:48.000But when people look at it now, they don't see Trump.
00:53:50.000That's the point that I'm making here.
00:53:51.000Yes, Trump played a key initiative in pushing this vaccine, but the questions about its efficacy and its safety, those still are kind of questions that are being asked, and we'll see.
00:54:04.000Yeah, and Dr. Fauci is the one who's basically undermining confidence in it, and that to me is insane.
00:54:11.000Yeah, and to me, again, at the risk of being a little bit black helicopters on this stuff, I think part of it is, if you were to go out and say that it is fully effective and fully safe and everyone should get out and do it, then people would probably stop looking to the CDC for advice.
00:54:26.000If you look at all of the different things that the CDC recommends you do, most of us ignore them on a day-to-day basis.
00:54:31.000How many people truly go and they're like, well, you know, I really like the taste of medium rare steak, but the CDC says you have to cook it to at least medium.
00:55:17.000But if you keep saying, ah, something bad and scary is coming around the corner, people will keep tuning in.
00:55:22.000And in his case, people will keep empowering him and the rest of the agents of the state to be able to say, oh, sorry, you can't do the things we don't like you doing.
00:55:29.000You've got people who have power, and they've found a way to use government to gain more power, be it money, shutting down all our competition, and allowing only us to remain open.
00:55:39.000And so unless there is a principled individual to snap their fingers and say, stop this, which there isn't, why would anyone give this up?
00:55:46.000Now listen, the people running the big box stores and the big massive online stores who are allowed to stay open and are making all this money and making billions and billions of dollars, They're gonna be like, well, look, it's not us.
00:56:34.000If people lose their livelihoods, who's gonna buy Teslas?
00:56:37.000So that's another thing to really consider here.
00:56:39.000As well as, on the other hand, we did had a John Hopkins doctor recently come out in the Wall Street Journal op-ed and write that COVID's going to be over by April.
00:56:49.000We had the Independent reporting that there has been no influenza cases in the United Kingdom all year.
00:56:54.000There also has been a huge influenza drop in the United States, and according to English health officials and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer of the United Kingdom, he is even saying, as of two days ago, that face masks may not even be necessary by the summer.
00:57:08.000So this is also happening as well, at the same time as we're discussing Dr. Fauci's, you know, darker predictions and Dr. Fauci's opposite viewpoint of what all these other medical professionals are saying in other countries.
00:57:20.000Did you just say there was no influenza in the United Kingdom?
00:58:47.000What I had heard in terms of influenza coming to the United States is that there's essentially, and someone's got to fact check me on this, but I think the argument is that influenza, the annual influenza, tends to come from Central and South America.
00:58:59.000And it cultivates there for whatever reason, right?
00:59:03.000And don't forget, the seasonal flu we get now is just a dilapidated version of the 1918 Spanish flu.
00:59:09.000And it never quite went away, and that's kind of how they assume the coronavirus is going to be too.
00:59:13.000Right, and so every year we get a slight variance on a new strain, and for whatever reason, my understanding is that, I don't know where it starts, but it tends to come to the United States from Central and South America.
00:59:23.000Since there's a lot less tourism, there's a lot less immigration.
00:59:26.000I think the thinking is that it hasn't actually kept to its normal course this year.
00:59:29.000So you're saying that migrant caravans are putting up headwinds, and we have to lock the borders down?
00:59:47.000But also, interesting point you made earlier is about this Wall Street Journal op-ed, which I read the other day and I found fascinating.
00:59:52.000And basically, the crux of his argument is, we're not taking into account how many people already have a natural resistance to the vaccine because there have been so many asymptomatic cases.
01:00:01.000I think his estimates are that there have been between five and six times as many people who have been infected by coronavirus than our numbers have.
01:00:07.000Not for any malicious reason, but just because a lot of people were asymptomatic, had it, never got tested, never even thought to get tested, what have you.
01:00:14.000Yeah, of course, and never knew that they had it.
01:00:16.000And so when we talk about herd immunity, one of the biggest factors is that, in the case of this op-ed, the argument is that one of the biggest things we're not talking about is how many people have natural immunity.
01:00:28.000And so if instead of a million or a couple of million, it's a lot higher than that, then you don't actually have to vaccinate as many people until you get to a point where the numbers continue to fall and continue to fall to a point where they're almost vanishing.
01:00:39.000Most of them, by the way, have healthy immune systems, have good vitamin D levels.
01:00:43.000Again, something that we should be talking about more.
01:00:45.000There was also another UK study that talked about how the vaccine won't eliminate the virus risk.
01:00:50.000I think it was also in the Wall Street Journal that reported this as well, which was kind of interesting.
01:00:54.000Vaccine won't eliminate virus risk, I think was the title.
01:00:58.000I don't know if you're able to find it or pull it up there.
01:01:00.000But again, there's so many different things being thrown at us that we have to understand all of this is extremely complex.
01:01:08.000A lot of the experts contradict themselves.
01:01:10.000A lot of the mainstream media reports sensationalize it, make it as hyperbolic, make it as fearful as they can for you.
01:01:16.000And a lot of the real legitimate things about your health, your immune system, sleep, stress, proper diet, exercise, vitamin D, sun, a lot of that gets missed.
01:01:25.000Again, not a medical doctor, not a medical professional, not telling you how to live your life, not telling you what to do, but I'm just saying that this whole conversation around this from the very beginning has been toxic, has been polluted, and has been politicized so that people take advantage of it for their own personal benefit.
01:01:40.000And sadly, our politicians did that to us.
01:02:54.000They think they should break off and form a 51st state called Jefferson because they have nothing in common with the rest of the state and the big cities and they do not get represented.
01:03:03.000The problem is creating a new state, California is going to have to sign off on giving up this territory.
01:03:09.000will have to have like a Article 5 convention or whatever it's called where like all the states come together and then vote for amendments and that would create the new state.
01:03:16.000The same thing is true for Greater Idaho but it would not change the amount of senators.
01:03:20.000So, there should still be the same amount of congressmen and women, and there should be the same amount of senators, and all it would do is move some borders around, which they say does happen.
01:03:38.000I think one of the big problems with Northern California is that it's more sparsely populated, it's more rural, and so Not only are they going to be ignored in terms of their political disposition, like they just don't have the political capital to be able to get the people who are making the decisions to care about them.
01:03:55.000And with Greater Idaho, obviously that wouldn't be the case.
01:03:58.000You do have so much, surely so much more shared value and so much more shared interest.
01:04:03.000I guess it would change the House of Representatives for each of those states, presumably, if enough people shifted and moved, but you're right, it wouldn't change the number of senators, and it probably, like, California will lose, what, maybe one congressional district at most?
01:04:15.000And so, yeah, I don't know, this sounds wonderful.
01:04:17.000I think this is such a great idea to give a voice to some of the more rural populations.
01:04:21.000I'm so, I don't know about you guys, but I'm super tired of the big cities having all of the concentrated power, you know what I'm saying?
01:04:56.000If people feel like the government does not represent them, what do they do?
01:05:00.000This country was founded based on that fact.
01:05:02.000It's the great thing about being in a democracy like this too, or a representative democracy, is that you can alter your borders peacefully.
01:05:17.000Even if the people who live there say, we don't want to be a part of this place anymore, and we're the ones who live there, we're the people who run this county, the state still has to vote on whether you're allowed to leave.
01:05:32.000Why would they be like, we willfully give up people who are enslaved to us?
01:05:36.000These are taxpayers who have no representation, who are funneling money to their salaries, and of course they're not going to let their serfs leave.
01:05:49.000It would be interesting to see if that just as a phenomena catches on.
01:05:52.000Forget those individual places for a second.
01:05:55.000If individual communities can say, hey look, we are 100 feet away from another state that shares our values and we are existing within a state that doesn't.
01:06:05.000What are the sorts of things we can do and animate to start to move and change those things?
01:06:09.000I think that could be a really, really fascinating experiment in federalism to see how that plays out all across the country.
01:06:15.000Look at how the Democrats want to make Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
01:06:18.000states so they can get four more senators and then have a uniparty, a single-party rule controlling the country.
01:06:25.000Now, to be fair, the Republican Party establishment, Democratic Party establishment, essentially the same thing.
01:06:30.000But what's happening now is the Democrats don't even want to bother with whatever, you know, pseudo arrangement they had in the first place.
01:06:37.000And they're like, hey, we'll make two more states and then we'll never lose ever again.
01:07:15.000The first time I came on the show, I'm like, hey, don't make fun of me, but I think memes and peaceful divorce are going to be the only solution that are going to cause the least amount of harm on people.
01:07:26.000So if you want to reduce harm, you're going to have to work out a solution where people peacefully move away from each other and decide to live next to each other and not aggress against each other.
01:07:35.000Well, without a peaceful divorce, like, how do we get to that point, right?
01:07:39.000And so I think we're seeing, what, recall efforts?
01:07:42.000We're seeing a lot of people go after the governors and complain about them.
01:07:45.000But we always try to vote out incumbents, and it doesn't change things for a lot of people.
01:07:50.000That's why so many people who never voted before voted for Trump.
01:07:54.000Because they're thinking, what's the point?
01:07:55.000It's not going to change anything going back and forth.
01:07:57.000Well, then someone comes along and says, I've got an idea.
01:07:59.000How about we move this town to a different state?
01:08:53.000I guess in the end, what we're seeing here is this will start heating up, and then eventually you'll get to the point where when this fails, people say peaceful divorce.
01:09:00.000I mean, the Mr. Potato Head thing was enough to get Mark Dice to say, time for Republican states to secede from the Union.
01:10:42.000When he was at pitch meeting where the intern was pointing to his slides, and as he's pitching the no gender Mr. Potato Head, the other intern was walking and holding the iPad with potato dick and potato boobs.
01:10:54.000And then he overhears him saying it and he like, you know, he looks down and he mopes away.
01:11:22.000We've been making states since 1776, right?
01:11:26.000And so why don't we just keep making them?
01:11:28.000Well, making states is hard because the political process around it is tortured, right?
01:11:34.000Forever there will always be a democratic push to make Washington DC a state the argument will be the argument will narrowly be We should do like the implicit argument is we should do this because we need to enfranchise everyone because they want two senators Republicans will make the opposite point say hey, this doesn't actually make sense in the Constitution, but fundamentally don't get me wrong the whole from a uniparty perspective if it would have been two Republicans who got elected senators I I guarantee you the Republican Party would find a really compelling reason why we've been misreading the Constitution.
01:12:01.000And the Democrats would be saying the Constitution says.
01:12:03.000And they would be saying the opposite thing.
01:12:14.000Puerto Rico actually actually makes sense to be a state.
01:12:16.000Yeah, me too. But and like if but imagine if you could look at
01:12:18.000God, I don't know what you would call it between it was a Jefferson State the state of Jefferson
01:12:23.000if you could have the state of Jefferson and then part of Oregon and say alright here this has like if you could cut
01:12:28.000out Those areas and make them have approximately the population
01:12:30.000of Puerto Rico and say, all right guys one for one. We're doing it. Yeah
01:12:32.000Yeah, I think that'd be great I don't think the Dems would probably not go for it, only because they would lose some little bit of representation and all of that, and California obviously drives so much of the modern Democratic Party.
01:12:43.000I don't understand the logic behind, I'm not being represented in this state, so we are going to self-govern, and them saying, but we can say no.
01:13:04.000Greater Idaho is crafted very politically, in a very smart way, to say it won't change the amount of states.
01:13:11.000It will give Idaho more congressional representation.
01:13:14.000Actually, no, I don't think it would actually change the makeup of Congress, because the jurisdictions for Congress are going to be based on the sort of county level, right?
01:13:24.000Well, so they'll be based on the 20—it's interesting in terms of when it happens.
01:13:54.000I think it's a huge problem that Oregon could be like, nah, well you're not representing their people.
01:13:59.000If they come to the federal government and say, we object and we demand the right to do this, I think the federal government should say, agreed.
01:14:28.000If we lived in a just society where we had government that actually served its people, it would happen.
01:14:34.000But again, we have to also understand that the government of California, the government of Oregon, a lot of these bureaucrats view their citizens as tax cattle and tax slaves.
01:14:44.000So they're not going to want to give up people who they're going to be able to tax and take a huge amount of money for that they don't have to do anything for.
01:14:50.000So the initiative of the government that's already going bankrupt, especially in California, that can't balance a budget, that has so many wasteful spending bills and initiatives and programs that are just absolutely ridiculous, they're not going to give away their tax slaves.
01:15:33.000That's the money from the conservatives who paid the taxes and then saw that tax revenue from the federal government and from the state level go to their political rivals and was not fairly allocated.
01:15:43.000So would it have to be that Idaho buys the territory from the other states?
01:15:49.000No, I think it should literally just be, we live here, we voted, the county says, the council members, whatever represents this county, we are now Idaho.
01:16:00.000But California can be like, well, we spent a lot of California citizens taxes to make those cities what they are.
01:16:07.000So you owe us something before you leave.
01:16:09.000That's something that would need to be adjudicated.
01:17:01.000And that, I think, in so many ways, too, that would help get around concerns of if you have these places that aren't paying much in taxes, that aren't super valuable, you would at least have to have buy-in from the places they're going to say, yeah, they're not just taking them in as, you know, as the backstraggler or what have you.
01:17:16.000These are just people who we want to break bread with.
01:17:19.000And so we are going to do what we need to, to legally empower them to be citizens like us.
01:17:23.000Do you know what happens if you do not respect the people?
01:17:28.000You get this story right here from The Independent.
01:17:36.000Singer's dog walker was shot and her two French bulldogs were stolen.
01:17:39.000They're essentially saying, check this out, the FBI is reportedly investigating if there were political motives behind the dog napping of Lady Gaga's bulldogs after she sang at President Joe Biden's inauguration last month.
01:17:49.000The pop superstar is offering half a million dollars for the return of her French bulldogs, Koji and Gustave, who were stolen at gunpoint.
01:17:57.000But Luke, you see, a lot of people might say, what political motives?
01:18:00.000You mentioned something earlier about this.
01:18:02.000Yeah, I remember seeing some kind of form of entertainment where this was a plot line of going against the bourgeoisie and stealing the rich people's dogs as form of like a cultural warfare.
01:18:16.000But, you know, I think there might be a bigger political motive potentially here.
01:18:21.000I think it also might be motivated by crime that has been spiking in many big cities that is going to go dramatically up as, of course, our economic woes continue.
01:18:30.000Well, they're saying the FBI thinks there may be a political motive, right?
01:18:33.000But I wonder, in Los Angeles, is that MAGA country?
01:19:06.000It was probably some guys who were like, yo, it's Lady Gaga's dogs, shoot that guy, take his dogs.
01:19:10.000But if the FBI has reason to believe it was politically motivated, I don't see it as being right-wing.
01:19:14.000First of all, like, right-wingers going around shooting people and stealing dogs does not make sense to me.
01:19:19.000No, it would have to be, like, if there's anyone who's going to do that, and I think it fits.
01:19:22.000The reason we all jumped onto it earlier is it fits the class war narrative, I think, of the Democratic Party.
01:19:28.000If it's anything, it's probably something from, like, I don't know, a communist revolution that happened in China or in Russia, where that's what they did to the wealthy.
01:19:36.000And as a form of punishment, they took the items that they had that conveyed some sort of class status, right?
01:19:42.000It's no different than stealing someone's Range Rover today.
01:19:44.000And so it's like, that to me, if there is any political intonation, it has to be that.
01:19:48.000Yeah, I'd be curious who in the FBI is saying that they were kind of investigating this.
01:19:52.000I'd be really curious what they were thinking the motivation was because they're, you're right, there's no chance that this is MAGA country because this is LA.
01:20:05.000But these dogs are very expensive and I feel like everybody knows that and I think that that this is probably just crime Honestly, and I guess this has been kind of increasing.
01:20:14.000I mean, yeah On average They're holding them for ransom, right?
01:20:22.000But even, I mean, in this special technological surveillance Big Brother state, I don't think people would do ransom because they would get caught right away with so much metadata.
01:20:33.000I mean, Facebook knows everything about you.
01:20:35.000This is why the political thing I'm questioning.
01:20:38.000Look, I would not entertain this normally, but the FBI is investigating a political motive over this.
01:20:43.000And they're saying it's because she's saying it at Biden's inauguration.
01:20:45.000But that's kind of like, The far left was planning on protesting Hillary Clinton's
01:20:49.000inauguration as well back in 2016, and then it turned into a Trump protest.
01:20:53.000They don't like Joe Biden, and like Luke said, what ransom are you going to be able to get from stealing Lady Gaga's
01:21:41.000I also do think it's, like, absurd to think that some, like, Antifa people were, like, eat the rich, and then they shot this guy and stole the dogs.
01:22:01.000No, no, there's an FBI agent and he's sitting at his desk and he's like super ripped and his suit's about to rip because his muscles are so big.
01:22:08.000And then they come and they're like, Agent Johnson, It's Lady Gaga.
01:22:16.000And then it plays a theme song, The Dog Bounty Hunter.
01:22:19.000Or it could be just two dumbasses that just randomly decided to be violent, because there's a bunch of violent dumbasses, mainly in big cities.
01:22:28.000And then the FBI is like, I can't fix this.
01:22:52.000I am reminded of what happened often because it is just so fundamentally ridiculous, and people ran with it.
01:22:58.000Remember, I think she deleted the tweet, but Kamala Harris tweeted, she's like, I've never known someone as honest and as brave as Jussie Smollett.
01:23:05.000These people are, they just, it's like, I imagine Kamala Harris is sitting there and you're like, Miss Harris, what's your first name?
01:23:14.000And she goes, Harry, Harry, I can't tell the truth.
01:24:29.000So we're gonna get to the point where like, you know, someone's car breaks down and then like the person at the shop and the guy looks at it and goes, uh, white supremacy.
01:24:38.000And then the guy goes, Oh, can you fix it?
01:25:58.000But then when all of these people are like, white supremacy was the problem, and they go march, I'm like, yo, it was, it's, it's, listen, it's class, it's poverty, it's education.
01:26:06.000Like, we need to, to, to help these areas not scream up, like, I'll tell you this, I'll make, I'll simplify this, okay?
01:26:13.000If we see crime, regardless of race, and we say, if we can alleviate poverty by targeting class issues and economic factors and education, then we can help solve that problem of violence.
01:26:26.000Instead of doing any of that, they go... You know that meme where they're all at the meeting, and it's like the two people give a really bad one, and the third guy gives an insane, and they throw him out the window?
01:26:51.000It's easier for everyone to be like, how about we just march against white nationalism and solve no problem!
01:26:56.000Problems bingo because it's it's far like the other the problem is the alternative is you have to slog through the hard stuff, right?
01:27:02.000You have to work through the education and like the psychology of criminality and all the other difficult things family.
01:27:08.000Yeah And all of these other systemic problems that there's not a there's not a silver bullet for and there's not a convenient bad guy for that sounds like hard Exactly.
01:27:56.000But like punishing the poor, that's just ridiculous.
01:28:00.000It was always weird to me when I would get an overdraft fee.
01:28:04.000At one point when I was 18 or 19, I lost a bank account because it went negative and I couldn't stop the negative continuing to go negative.
01:28:12.000And I just told them, I was like, you realize I don't have money, right?
01:28:49.000You're going to try and get $35 from me I don't have?
01:28:51.000I'd have like negative $2 and then I'd buy like you get a pack of gum and then you go get a sandwich and then you go buy like a 99 cent something and they charge you $90, $35, $35, $35.
01:29:00.000You call them and you're like, hey, I didn't know I was in the negative.
01:29:14.000There was this crazy thing that happened in Chicago like 15 years ago with Chase Bank where there was an error in the ATMs and it wasn't subtracting money from people's accounts when they were withdrawing from ATMs.
01:29:26.000And so it led... So here's what happened though.
01:29:29.000So I go to the ATM and it was like me and my friends were all going to a show, like a bar venue.
01:29:35.000And I put in my card, I had a couple hundred bucks, and I was like, I'll take out $20.
01:29:39.000I see the amount, I take out $20, I look at the receipt, and it says the number didn't change.
01:29:42.000I'm like, that's gotta be wrong, so I'll take another $20.
01:29:45.000I take another $20, the number didn't change.
01:29:58.000Because I'm like dude, they're gonna get you It was an error and I thought I thought it was gonna give me the correct readout But it wasn't so I just deposit put the money back in here's what happened tons of people started being like oh free money Yeah, and then what happened the next day the system updated Everybody was negative like a hundred two hundred bucks.
01:30:20.000That's And then all the cheese and everything else.
01:31:59.000This is one of the reasons why I was up in New Hampshire during the summer and spring because it was normal life up there.
01:32:05.000You know, large parties, large gatherings, and, you know, one of the lowest sick rates in the nation.
01:32:11.000And I was gonna say, and no one told the coronavirus in New Hampshire because for whatever reason, Their rates lagged way behind everyone else in the country.
01:32:18.000Well, how about we jump over to them superchats?

01:32:45.000He says, Ian, were you aware that JP Morgan sank the Titanic, which was actually the Olympic, not only as an insurance scam, but in order to kill three bankers who were opposed to the Federal Reserve and seized their assets?
01:34:16.000I think once, I don't know when everything, wait until everything is, once we can see the system, what's happening clearly, you know, we have the great reset, we've got COVID, we have The Federal Reserve, the finances, all this stuff, the wars
01:34:27.000all over the energy systems, fusions on the horizon.
01:34:30.000Mars is becoming like what we're going to see.
01:34:32.000We're going to look back on this and everything will start to make sense.
01:34:35.000The ancestral things are interesting to, you know, humanity is very ancestral as a species.
01:34:39.000I'm glad you have this spinny thing in front of you.
01:35:12.000We absolutely need... There was a really bizarre comment today from Leader McCarthy, or I guess no longer leader, Minority Leader McCarthy, about not having guns on the Capitol premises.
01:35:21.000And listen, I didn't grow up around guns.
01:35:23.000I came to guns pretty late in life, and I know I'm not alone among the Republican Party in being that way.
01:35:29.000But it really read like someone who has always just sort of thought of guns of being very icky.
01:35:33.000And I think that it's Very difficult for a lot of Republicans to recognize that the vast majority of the conservative movement does not see them that way.
01:35:40.000But I mean, the interesting thing about guns is that even, there's a ton of support from Democrats for guns.
01:35:55.000It's only these, like, ultra-urban coastal elites, specifically, that are anti-gun, and they have a lot of political power and a lot of money to push these things, like Bloomberg, for instance.
01:36:05.000Yeah, it's far more a conversation, too, about class and about location.
01:36:08.000And so if you have people who are poor and rural, their feelings on guns, regardless of their politics, are going to be far more supportive than anyone who lives in a city.
01:37:06.000Well, I think that gets to the point about what are the sorts of steps that the people around him take as a result of him not necessarily having the mental capacity that he needs to execute the office of the presidency.
01:37:17.000And so today it's nukes, and in a few months, that's who knows.
01:37:19.000And are they saying that it takes two turnkeys so Biden can't wake up in the middle of the night and be like, ugh, and turn the key?
01:37:24.000He needs a second person to do it with him?
01:37:26.000I think there has to be an operator there who physically transacts on doing it, but there's one person making the decision.
01:37:48.000Jesse Padilla says, Tim, I worked with a Syrian refugee that praised Trump for bombing the Syrian government and was happy to be living in America.
01:40:04.000So putting together the first iteration of the website was not super difficult.
01:40:09.000You get a person to put together the layout.
01:40:11.000But then getting the actual core coding and development and apps and everything is actually going to be a much longer process, but we needed money to do it.
01:42:20.000I'd love to get their developers in here, though.
01:42:23.000I mean, I've been seeing people tweet about it.
01:42:25.000Let's read some more about my friends.
01:42:27.000Don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe.
01:42:30.000Fox Kuhn says, Fascism is a form of far-right authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
01:43:15.000I remember we were talking, my girlfriend and I, about how the human body can no longer process meat because that was just a thing that I thought was true.
01:44:18.000Coldylocks Productions says, We can push Russia around because we broke their backs financially in the Cold War with the Star Wars project, making them think we were developing extremely advanced tech, and they tried to match us, spending all their money.
01:45:00.000Ultimate Bonaire says, so I don't think that Oregon would ever allow those counties to merge into Idaho because then they'd lose all the money from those counties.
01:45:13.000It's kind of the same up in Washington with Seattle.
01:45:19.000You know, look, you've got to have a strong petition.
01:45:23.000Like, you can't, look, the left knows how to protest.
01:45:27.000They know how to occupy an office or sit in a street and it works.
01:45:31.000They put pressure on, they get it done.
01:45:33.000And to be honest, they have the advantage of being able to be violent because, you know, Republicans or people on the right are second class citizens in that regard.
01:45:39.000If you do anything in any capacity that's violent, they will, it'll be every headline news outlet, but Antifa can, you know, burn down entire cities and Yeah, you know, it's a peaceful protest.
01:48:38.000Jonathan Westcott says, instead of greater Idaho, they need new states so they have less concentrated power, more electoral seats, can flip, and aren't held hostage by large states.
01:48:47.000Well, look, if you break up a bunch of rural counties into their own states, then the Republicans just win.
01:48:58.000And I think that the beauty of being able to get into other states is that you get around that sort of concern.
01:49:03.000Alright, The Civic Nationalist says the American Revolution was started by smugglers, the tea tax was paid in Britain, and was propaganda by smugglers because they didn't want to lose on the monopoly.
01:49:12.000Come back home, you can give up this thing called presidency, sing God Save the Queen.
01:49:17.000I wonder if there could ever be any circumstance in which the US decides to be a part of the Commonwealth again.
01:49:34.000It's just audio, but apparently it's an Irish guy, and he pulls up to a checkpoint in Ireland, and then he just starts... They're like, how's it going, sir?
01:50:14.000It's just, it's just crazy audio where, like, it's really interesting to hear someone say, like, we fought for 800 years and now you would treat us worse than the British Army, and I'm like, that is bold!
01:50:23.000And then the best part, oh man, I don't know a whole lot about politics between Ireland and the UK, just a little bit on the surface.
01:50:30.000I know about, like, the IRA, I went to Northern Ireland, I went to, um...
01:51:16.000And I think a lot of it probably comes down to there's a certain provisional sensibility that some Irish, I think, have probably in Dublin and the surrounding areas where like, well, why wouldn't you like England and the rest of the Europeans?
01:51:27.000And I would imagine some of the folks in the rural areas have a A little bit more sensitivity about these sorts of things.
01:53:22.000I was told by the doctor to put a little bit of lemon juice in your water, but drink it with a straw because the acid can be bad for your teeth.
01:53:44.000The agricultural differences are curious too, right?
01:53:46.000Because, I mean, I think that that's one of the other reasons why these places have so much value, why California would be so unwilling to lose them, but why they'd be so attractive to other places.
01:57:42.000For all he knew, I could have been saying you were stupid enough to go to these schools in the first place when you are advocating for them to be closed.
01:57:49.000The point is, how is it that when I say an image of these kids in these pods is insane, A guy who advocates for schools to remain closed is now saying, well they should be in the pods if they don't spit at each other.
01:58:23.000Illegal immigration, and taxation, and police.
01:58:24.000And Trump voters were the number one, I think, among Democrats.
01:58:26.000And then white nationalists, and then white supremacy, because the Democrats are screaming in the face that Republicans are evil, and Republicans are sitting there going, I think illegal immigration is bad for our economy.
01:58:37.000You know what someone, I think it was Jesse Kelly.
01:58:39.000So conservatives lost the culture war because they weren't fighting it.
01:58:53.000You're sitting here as the left is screaming, threatening to go after you, to kick your representatives out of Congress, to send the feds to go arrest them.
01:59:03.000to claim that any kind of violence from these Trump supporters is the end of the world.
01:59:12.000Meanwhile, Antifa burned down all of these cities, $2 billion in damage, and that was the insurance cap, so it was substantially more than that.
01:59:25.000And look, the solution to whatever it is, is out of my reach.
01:59:29.000I can tell you, like I've said over and over again, violence isn't going to solve any of these things because we're in fifth generational warfare.
01:59:35.000So, maybe people need to assert their rights and say, we want an Article 4 convention to redraw these lines, because at the very least, then we will have a pressure release valve from the people who are- the people right now trapped in these places, like in Jefferson, are probably boiling over, furious.
02:01:35.000But, you know, then people will... You know, actually, I'm curious as to what made, like, these cities in Oregon, Seattle, and Portland so blue that turned the whole state under the control of the Democrats.
02:01:46.000Yeah, I think it's just a size thing, right?
02:01:48.000Like, so many of these counties are so sparsely populated that all it takes is a big city or two that's overwhelmingly left-leaning, and it's enough to skew it pretty meaningfully.
02:02:11.000Jonathan McLee says Charlie LaDuff is now suing Governor Whitmer for covering up the COVID numbers in Michigan, accusing her of all the things Cuomo has done.
02:03:31.000I don't want to think about this anymore.
02:03:32.000And then, you know, it just goes down.

02:05:12.000We've always got something to talk about.
02:05:33.000No, but it'll be like, you'll sense that lull coming in and someone will be like, I just don't agree that Pac-Man was the greatest character.
02:05:41.000And then as everyone starts to like slow down, I'll go, it's interesting too, but I wonder what the government has to say.
