Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - France Declares Far left Wokeness is DESTROYING Society w-Siraj Hashmi

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:04.000 you ladies and gentlemen we have long held conversations here

00:00:36.000 in the Tim cast IRL podcast about wokeness critical theory critical race theory

00:00:41.000 gender ideology and its negative impacts for the most part on our society 1.00

00:00:46.000 It is one of the principal factors in the culture war, which is tearing the United States apart, in my opinion.

00:00:53.000 And now France has basically come out and saying it.

00:00:55.000 We've got Emmanuel Macron, president of France, basically saying that these ideas are dangerous.

00:01:00.000 But now intellectuals and politicians in France are basically saying the ideology coming out of American universities, this critical theory, this far-left wokeness, is destroying French identity and destroying the country.

00:01:13.000 And this is coming from people viewed as being on the left.

00:01:18.000 And I gotta say, they're not wrong.

00:01:20.000 We're looking at the big story of the day.

00:01:24.000 Impeachment, which is completely meaningless.

00:01:27.000 But it's tribalism.

00:01:28.000 This tribalism is a key element of what's splitting apart not just the United States, but other countries.

00:01:33.000 Impeachment is meaningless.

00:01:35.000 We know it's not going to happen.

00:01:36.000 We know that 47 Republicans already said no.

00:01:39.000 Yes, they're going to be moving forward, but it seems to be a big waste of time to try and impeach a president who's a former president.

00:01:44.000 He's not even in office anymore.

00:01:45.000 So we're not even going to get into it.

00:01:46.000 It just seems like there's no reason to.

00:01:49.000 The bigger issue in my opinion is the root cause of all this, and as everybody basically knows, well, not everybody, but politics is downstream from culture.

00:01:57.000 What starts in the cultural arena eventually moves into the political spaces.

00:02:01.000 So now we're finally seeing some people in government, notably in France, waking up to the problems being caused by this critical theory.

00:02:08.000 Unfortunately, we had Trump, who didn't necessarily realize it, but at least took action against it.

00:02:13.000 Now France is kind of waking up to this.

00:02:14.000 And there are a few other stories in the periphery of this. 0.91

00:02:16.000 We have this ridiculous story of this, I think it's an LA Times columnist, complaining that her Trump-supporting neighbors, who politely shoveled her driveway, were like Nazis. 0.81

00:02:27.000 And what should she do? 0.94

00:02:29.000 Oh no, this huge problem.

00:02:31.000 We have some random dude, and this one really triggered Luke, going on Twitter and claiming that Cracker Barrel was racist and making up some insane story! 0.99

00:02:40.000 This is so ridiculous! 0.83

00:02:42.000 This, this, this, whatever is going on in this far-left-wokeness stuff that we've long talked about, we can see it's just, it's still happening, it's getting worse. 0.96

00:02:49.000 Maybe, with France stepping up and actually saying something about it, maybe, maybe there can be some changes made.

00:02:55.000 I gotta admit, I'm not entirely confident.

00:02:56.000 So we'll get, we'll get into all this, we'll talk about some of the other news that's going on today.

00:02:59.000 We are being joined today by, in this space especially, one of the most important individuals.

00:03:04.000 We have Siraj Hajmi, who is a journalist with the Washington Examiner, but, Siraj has the list.

00:03:11.000 It is a list of people who should have their phones taken away.

00:03:14.000 For what?

00:03:14.000 Bad tweets, right?

00:03:15.000 Usually bad, cringeworthy... I try to keep the food takes out of it, because there are a lot of bad food takes out there.

00:03:23.000 Food takes?

00:03:24.000 But mostly bad tweets and cringeworthy tweets, for sure.

00:03:27.000 And this is cross-spectrum.

00:03:28.000 It doesn't matter if you're left or right. 0.99

00:03:30.000 If you have a dumb tweet, you get put on the list. 0.99

00:03:33.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:03:35.000 On Super Bowl Sunday, I released an all-decade list.

00:03:37.000 So from 2011 to 2020, I capped it at 10.

00:03:40.000 Because if I did more than 10, I'd kill myself.

00:03:43.000 But I found that the number one person above all, everyone else, was Anthony Weiner.

00:03:49.000 Deserving to have his phone taken the most. 0.97

00:03:51.000 Because if you remember, in May 2011, he sent a picture of his junk to one of his followers. 0.88

00:03:58.000 Resulting in him resigning from Congress. 0.95

00:04:01.000 A minor.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, and then that was later.

00:04:04.000 That was 2016.

00:04:05.000 You did it more than once?

00:04:09.000 Yeah, so it was later.

00:04:10.000 His name is Wienerton.

00:04:11.000 So yeah, obviously it's so on the nose.

00:04:15.000 What makes it worse, obviously, is that when he was found to have been sexting a minor, a 15-year-old girl, they opened up a criminal investigation on him.

00:04:25.000 That's when the FBI seized his laptop.

00:04:28.000 That's when, on the laptop, they found Hillary Clinton's email.

00:04:33.000 That's when 11 days prior to the 2016 presidential election, James Comey sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee saying he's reopening the investigation 11 days before the presidential election 2016.

00:04:46.000 As we all know, what happened.

00:04:48.000 And I'm not going to say that that alone is why Hillary Clinton lost.

00:04:51.000 But it didn't help her.

00:04:54.000 And so he was number one.

00:04:56.000 Number two, I put World Health Organization.

00:04:57.000 Good, good.

00:04:58.000 Just for the tweet last year about saying that COVID was not contracted from human to human or it can be transmitted.

00:05:05.000 Air transmission.

00:05:05.000 Yeah.

00:05:06.000 And then third, and I'll just cap it at three, was former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall, who after the Navy SEAL Team Six raid that killed Osama bin Laden, basically tweeted out how How could so many people be celebrating one man's death?

00:05:25.000 Like there's got to be another side to this story.

00:05:27.000 the and i you mentioned to that uh...

00:05:36.000 you've had trump on the list some point uh... i had him on the list a lot

00:05:41.000 I would say the person I've had on the list the most, though, is Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin.

00:05:46.000 Ah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:47.000 I was gonna say about Trump, though, they took his phone away.

00:05:50.000 They did.

00:05:50.000 Figuratively.

00:05:50.000 They did.

00:05:51.000 So, you know, once they actually suspend the Twitter account, they retire from the list because the list works.

00:05:57.000 He's free.

00:05:58.000 Yeah.

00:05:58.000 All right, cool, man.

00:05:59.000 We'll get into this stuff.

00:05:59.000 We also got Luke.

00:06:00.000 He's hanging out.

00:06:00.000 You know, I'm making my own list, Tim, right now as we're speaking.

00:06:04.000 Yeah.

00:06:04.000 I heard Congress is impeaching presidents for violating the Constitution.

00:06:09.000 I have a long list of presidents I want to give to Congress specifically about that.

00:06:14.000 Well, well, hold on.

00:06:14.000 In terms of, uh, I saw one person tweet, we should remove these people who violated their oath to the constitution.

00:06:19.000 Uh, we should remove people who voted to, uh, support Trump's objection by remove, uh, you know, let me clarify.

00:06:26.000 They said the people who voted to support Donald Trump and his objection to steal the election violated their oath to the constitution and should be expelled.

00:06:34.000 And I was like, okay, I think we have a list of what, like 430 names that fall into the violating the oath of the constitution.

00:06:40.000 So I'm game.

00:06:40.000 If they're like, we're going to expel for this reason, let's, let's, let's roll.

00:06:43.000 I got it.

00:06:44.000 Big list.

00:06:44.000 I'm optimistic.

00:06:45.000 A lot of presidents violated the Constitution.

00:06:47.000 But anyway, today I also launched a T-shirt that I'm very excited about.

00:06:51.000 It's of Bill Hicks.

00:06:52.000 So I have to say this.

00:06:54.000 Stop saying it's the Alex Jones T-shirt.

00:06:56.000 It's not.

00:06:57.000 It's the Bill Hicks T-shirt.

00:06:59.000 And you can get that shirt and the shirt that I'm wearing right now on TheBestPoliticalShirts.com.

00:07:03.000 And because you do, I'm here.

00:07:05.000 And thank you very much for having me.

00:07:06.000 We got Ian chillin'.

00:07:07.000 What up, everybody?

00:07:08.000 I'm just going to give a little pre-warning.

00:07:10.000 This isn't my wheelhouse this episode, so I'm going to try to keep my Yesterday you were on a roll.

00:07:15.000 I was on fire.

00:07:16.000 Bring up fusion and I'm all in.

00:07:18.000 Electromagnetic vibrations.

00:07:20.000 I'm going to try to smooth this one through.

00:07:22.000 Although I thought it was interesting what you were saying about the French kind of calling out this, this wokeness because Americans have this, this, you know, this tendency towards puritanism.

00:07:31.000 We always have.

00:07:31.000 And it's almost like, this is like modern day puritanism.

00:07:33.000 Don't say those mean words about me.

00:07:36.000 And the French were like the reason we were able to win the revolution.

00:07:39.000 It's this like European liberalism, like real liberalism.

00:07:42.000 And they were literally the Jacobins.

00:07:44.000 Yeah.

00:07:45.000 It was, yeah, it was right before- That was the French Revolution.

00:07:48.000 The revolutionaries took hold, but it was- So if anybody is on the left- It was Louis XIV, he bankrupted the country of France to basically to fund the Americans to beat the British.

00:07:55.000 Right, right.

00:07:56.000 Well then.

00:07:57.000 Well, we also got Sour Patch Lids, pressin' all the buttons.

00:07:59.000 Yep, I am over here in the corner and I am also intrigued by France's role in this because a lot of these bad ideas, from my understanding, came from there. 0.88

00:08:06.000 Yes.

00:08:07.000 And we're going to get into these stories.

00:08:08.000 Before we do, head over to TimCast.com, become a member.

00:08:11.000 We have set up this website with members-only content.

00:08:13.000 We are expanding the site.

00:08:14.000 Expect there to be way more stuff.

00:08:16.000 We're going to do guest blogs from other people.

00:08:18.000 We're going to start a vlog.

00:08:19.000 We're going to actually launch more websites.

00:08:21.000 But for the time being, we've set this up.

00:08:22.000 You can become a member and get access to exclusive segments and episodes only available to our members.

00:08:29.000 And this is basically because The Purge is real.

00:08:31.000 They've been banning a lot of people.

00:08:32.000 They've recently been banning Progressive, so now it's coming from the left.

00:08:35.000 We'll see how things go.

00:08:37.000 But they may at some point come and ban this channel because, look, we're fairly anti-establishment and they can't have that.

00:08:42.000 They'd much prefer us to be falling in line with Jimmy Kimmel or whatever.

00:08:46.000 We don't do that.

00:08:47.000 So in the event we do get banned, you can find us at TimCast.com and your membership helps support the show and make sure that we can keep growing and functioning, bring on more people, do more content, so it is greatly appreciated.

00:09:01.000 Let's check out this story.

00:09:02.000 This is amazingly from the New York Times.

00:09:05.000 Will American ideas tear France apart?

00:09:09.000 Some of its leaders think so.

00:09:11.000 Politicians and prominent intellectuals say social theories from the U.S.

00:09:14.000 on race, gender, and post-colonialism are a threat to French identity and the French Republic.

00:09:20.000 Now that is amazing.

00:09:22.000 They say high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas, specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism, are undermining their society.

00:09:31.000 There's a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities, warned Mr. Macron's education minister.

00:09:38.000 Emboldened by these comments, prominent intellectuals have banded together against what they regard as contamination by the out-of-control woke leftism of American campuses and attendant cancel culture.

00:09:51.000 Of all of the countries in Europe that we would point to, France is particularly left.

00:09:57.000 Not the—like, everyone likes to point to Scandinavia, but come on.

00:10:00.000 The French Revolution, the leftists, the socialists, the Jacobins.

00:10:03.000 I'm not saying that they're the furthest left, but, you know, they're one of the examples people cite, especially considering Jacobin Magazine is a socialist magazine.

00:10:11.000 And they're stepping up and saying, nah-ha-ha, it's all this stuff.

00:10:14.000 Which is good, because in my opinion, the wokeness on the left is infecting left ideas and turning it into a weird dogmatic cult ideology that makes no sense.

00:10:24.000 And I saw the best tweet to explain it.

00:10:27.000 You guys, I want to hear your thoughts on this.

00:10:29.000 I saw a really wonderful tweet breaking down, like, gender ideology.

00:10:32.000 They said, sexism is when you say, when someone says that women should be, you know, they believe, doing the dishes. 0.99

00:10:41.000 You know, not men.

00:10:42.000 Feminism is when the woman comes out and says, both men and women can be doing the dishes. 1.00

00:10:47.000 And gender ideology says, anybody who does the dishes is a woman. 1.00

00:10:51.000 You get it?

00:10:52.000 Like, that's pretty, like, I saw that and I was like, that's actually a good example of, like, what's happening.

00:10:59.000 Because you look at actual traditional feminism and it's like, women and men can wear whatever they want. 0.99

00:11:05.000 Now, in the modern era of this critical theory, it's whoever wears feminine clothes is a woman, and whoever wears masculine clothes is a man. 0.60

00:11:12.000 Which is not, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

00:11:14.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:15.000 Yeah.

00:11:16.000 It's actually kind of interesting, and just because I'm a practicing Muslim, and this kind of, this story in France, it impacts me in a way, because of obviously the the struggles that the French people have had with sort of

00:11:30.000 this rising threat of Islamic terrorism in the last decade.

00:11:33.000 But with respect to your point about, you know, whoever wears women's clothes and men's clothes, like

00:11:41.000 I've read obviously in like religious, in Islamic scripture that like a sign of the end of times is

00:11:49.000 like when you cannot tell the difference between men and women.

00:11:52.000 Is that really in there?

00:11:53.000 Yeah.

00:11:54.000 It's kind of scary in a way.

00:11:56.000 Again, this is religious stuff.

00:11:59.000 If you subscribe to the Islamic faith, you probably know what I'm talking about.

00:12:02.000 But, you know, religion obviously isn't for everyone.

00:12:05.000 And it's all based on faith.

00:12:07.000 I mean, I do believe in a god.

00:12:10.000 I do believe that there is a life after this one.

00:12:14.000 But I'm not going to be dogmatic and just preach to you what is right and what is wrong.

00:12:19.000 But with respect to this, about this sort of, you mentioned the word contagion.

00:12:24.000 That is obviously very fascinating because for the longest time, at least for the last like century, the Red Scare has been considered long held in Europe as like an international contagion.

00:12:36.000 This threat of communism that is going to jump from one country to the next and for it to kind of be turned on its head and say that that's coming from the United States based on how woke everyone has become...

00:12:51.000 Pretty stunning, really.

00:12:52.000 Yeah.

00:12:53.000 The Daily Mail had an interesting blurb about this ...

00:12:56.000 that I think describes everything that we're talking ...

00:12:59.000 about and they said quote they are arguing that American ...

00:13:02.000 ideas on race gender post-colonialism especially ...

00:13:05.000 those coming from US universities are undermining ...

00:13:08.000 French society and are an attack on French heritage I ... 1.00

00:13:11.000 mean that's a pretty bold statement.

00:13:13.000 And of course, a lot of people would agree, but a lot of people are even scared to agree to that because of our current political climate.

00:13:19.000 And to have France, of all countries, call it out is extremely interesting, especially with individuals like Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild banker who was deemed the savior of Europe.

00:13:30.000 He was deemed as this superstar.

00:13:32.000 The mainstream media loved him.

00:13:34.000 We were there.

00:13:35.000 Were you there with me when we were there for Emmanuel Macron's kind of celebration when he won?

00:13:40.000 The streets were Jam-packed everywhere.

00:13:43.000 Everyone loved him.

00:13:45.000 Then he came in and then he started doing austerity measures.

00:13:47.000 And then he started cutting social services.

00:13:50.000 Are you sure?

00:13:50.000 And then people were freaked out.

00:13:52.000 And then I covered so many riots in France.

00:13:55.000 If anyone knows how to protest, it is the French people. 0.97

00:13:57.000 They got crazy. 0.96

00:13:58.000 They got intense.

00:13:59.000 And we have seen levels of violence with the yellow vests. 0.73

00:14:02.000 Wokeness is only weirdly left-wing.

00:14:03.000 in decades with the civil war and rest that unfolded because of Emmanuel Macron.

00:14:08.000 So to see him now say these kind of things that are against the establishment is interesting,

00:14:13.000 but also according to the New York Times, he's only doing this because he's trying to court

00:14:18.000 the right during the next election. But that's the New York Times what the New York Times is.

00:14:22.000 Wokeness is only weirdly left-wing. It's not economic.

00:14:28.000 Well, it's promoted by the establishment.

00:14:29.000 It's promoted by the mainstream media.

00:14:31.000 The same mainstream media that kind of boasted him up and made him as popular as he is.

00:14:35.000 That's the contradicting point here that I wanted to point out.

00:14:38.000 There are a lot of leftists who are anti-woke.

00:14:40.000 There's just not enough willing to speak out and call it out.

00:14:43.000 But there was, shout out to Rania Kalik, who's an anti-war progressive, who wrote about, or she made a video, it was really funny, probably really offensive to these people, called Wokewashing.

00:14:53.000 Where it's like, you get the military-industrial complex, and it's like, good news everybody, the CEOs of all the biggest defense contractors are women! 0.99

00:15:00.000 We've won!

00:15:01.000 It's like, they're blowing up kids.

00:15:02.000 It's okay. 0.93

00:15:03.000 It is a woman of color doing it. 1.00

00:15:05.000 Like, if that is the measure of success, we got serious problems.

00:15:14.000 With people celebrating the streets when Macron won and it suddenly dawned on me that the 2017 French election has so many parallels to the 2020 election just because the candidates involved.

00:15:25.000 I mean, are you sure?

00:15:26.000 I was just going to ask him, like, were people celebrating the streets because it was Marine Le Pen who wasn't elected?

00:15:26.000 Yeah.

00:15:31.000 Because that's what it sounds like.

00:15:32.000 And you get someone who's kind of as milquetoast as, you know, between Biden and Macron.

00:15:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:15:38.000 And I think that a lot of people were like, yeah, I expected Biden to suck. 0.99

00:15:42.000 I did not expect Biden to be this terrible this quickly. 0.96

00:15:46.000 Well, if you look at the way he was highlighted, I mean, there was a lot of controversies surrounding his banker past, and that was kind of shrugged underneath the rug.

00:15:54.000 And when you were really seeing him, he was seen as an all-star.

00:15:57.000 He was literally praised as the man who's going to save Europe.

00:16:01.000 And people were so angry at him and so disappointed there was literal chemical agents and evacuation plans made for the Paris capital for government officials because of how serious the protest got.

00:16:13.000 I can't tell you the level of intensity.

00:16:15.000 I mean, I don't even, you know, for I got PTSD from what I saw at the Paris protests, and I don't even want to talk about all the gory details, but some of the most intense street fighting I have ever seen in my life happened because of this outrage against Macron.

00:16:29.000 A lot of people are angry with him, so this could be a larger political ploy.

00:16:32.000 I hope not.

00:16:33.000 I don't trust Macron, but he does bring up good points here.

00:16:36.000 Let's be real.

00:16:37.000 Macron is saying this.

00:16:39.000 People on the left don't view Macron as left-wing.

00:16:41.000 You know, he's a he's a bankster.

00:16:43.000 He's a he's far right as a nationalist, all of those things.

00:16:46.000 So they viewed him.

00:16:48.000 It's you know, I guess what the problem is left.

00:16:51.000 It's similar here with Joe Biden.

00:16:52.000 They're like, oh, Joe Biden's bad, but Trump is worse. 1.00

00:16:55.000 They're like, Joe Biden's actually a Republican, but Trump is a fascist. 0.98

00:16:58.000 And it's like, OK, but, you know, they view Macron similarly. 0.97

00:17:01.000 Marine Le Pen was a fascist and, you know, Emmanuel Macron is just far right.

00:17:05.000 So they're like, it's better, I guess. 0.89

00:17:06.000 But they'll still protest it.

00:17:07.000 Yeah. I don't know how they I mean, I know the French elections are like

00:17:11.000 almost like a jungle primary, like in California.

00:17:14.000 They basically get the top two vote gathers and then they have that runoff.

00:17:17.000 I...

00:17:19.000 That's the thing, it's like the Overton window and just the global political spectrum has shifted so far to the left, yet everybody keeps backlashing against it and voting people who are just so far to the right of that.

00:17:33.000 I mean, Joe Biden, I've, you know, from like the Charlie Kirks of the world,

00:17:38.000 the Trump campaign saying that like Joe Biden is actually a trojan horse for socialism. The guy

00:17:44.000 has always been a corporatist, like he's only put big Wall Street, K Street people into

00:17:50.000 his administration.

00:17:52.000 To be fair, that is corporate socialism at the very least.

00:17:55.000 You know, the big companies get their bailouts, they get their money printed for them, and then everyone else gets the crumbs.

00:18:02.000 Look, when I hear the left complain about that stuff, I'm like, you're correct, I agree.

00:18:05.000 I think socialism is bad.

00:18:08.000 You're mad they're giving it to the corporations.

00:18:10.000 I'm mad about it in general, but also that they're giving it to the corporations.

00:18:13.000 And I don't want socialism, but I think we can agree when they print money and just give it to, you know, transfer the wealth and the people to the Top, you know, political elites and establishment elites.

00:18:22.000 That's messed up.

00:18:23.000 Yeah, I mean, just look at these PPP loans.

00:18:25.000 You know, I love Tom Brady.

00:18:27.000 I grew up in New England.

00:18:28.000 I'm a huge New England Patriots fan.

00:18:30.000 And Tom Brady is a god amongst men.

00:18:32.000 Why the hell is he, his company TB12, getting PPP loans?

00:18:38.000 I mean, I'm fine with companies getting access to money to pay their employees.

00:18:42.000 Just because a company is big doesn't mean that they probably still have employees to pay.

00:18:46.000 The problem is that people can't spend money outside of, for the most part, big box stores and Amazon.

00:18:51.000 And so that's funneling all of this stimulus and PPP money back into the hands of major corporations where they can then stockpile it.

00:18:57.000 If you think that's the problem, wait until you find out about the military-industrial complex and corporate welfare that happens behind the scenes.

00:19:04.000 Actually, I will tell you this.

00:19:05.000 I will tell you this.

00:19:06.000 That almost made me spit out my water.

00:19:07.000 The reason why I ever became involved, not involved, but ever got engaged in politics was because of the military-industrial complex, particularly the invasion of the Iraq War.

00:19:18.000 I gotta tell this funny joke I just heard.

00:19:22.000 Luke, you have to ask me a question.

00:19:24.000 You have to ask me, what's the most common French phrase?

00:19:27.000 What's the most common French phrase?

00:19:29.000 I give up.

00:19:30.000 That's it.

00:19:31.000 Get it?

00:19:32.000 It's funny, right?

00:19:33.000 Get it?

00:19:33.000 I give up.

00:19:34.000 Are we allowed to make jokes like that on YouTube?

00:19:36.000 I wouldn't be surprised if we get banned for that.

00:19:38.000 You don't know what it is?

00:19:38.000 Just kidding.

00:19:43.000 World War One reference.

00:19:44.000 World War Two reference.

00:19:48.000 It was in that movie, The Men of Saragos.

00:19:49.000 They get into a vehicle with some Russian guys, and he's complaining about the French, and he looks over to his friends, and he's like, hey, what's the most common French phrase?

00:19:55.000 And he leans over, I give up!

00:19:57.000 And they all start laughing.

00:19:58.000 I give up!

00:19:59.000 French surrender jokes never get old, right?

00:20:01.000 But to add to the point that you were saying, you made a very good point, especially with this woke culture.

00:20:06.000 Because, you know, the guy who created mass incarceration and a cop don't really say you're woke.

00:20:11.000 Don't really kind of support, you know, they say they support Black Lives Matter but that's what happens culturally.

00:20:16.000 It's used to divide and conquer us and then the big institutional powers push in their kind of puppet establishment candidates.

00:20:22.000 They come in and then they rule just like they ruled before with people thinking that something's going to change when it's not.

00:20:28.000 Joe Biden is literally the institutional racism they complain about.

00:20:30.000 Yes.

00:20:31.000 I mean, Black Lives Matter endorses the guy.

00:20:34.000 And then, you know, 40 days after he gets elected or after he gets elected, they're like, we still haven't heard from Joe Biden.

00:20:40.000 He's not talking to us.

00:20:41.000 I'm just amazed that, like, Joe Biden co-sponsored the 1994 crime bill.

00:20:47.000 And Hillary Clinton gets more flack for it for saying the word super predator. 1.00

00:20:51.000 Yeah.

00:20:52.000 To this day.

00:20:53.000 I just don't understand it.

00:20:54.000 Because Joe Biden is like Fumbly Bumbly Joe, you know?

00:20:57.000 No, I mean, I get it.

00:20:59.000 Maybe my favorite ever Joe Biden moment was when he was vice president and The Onion ran the Diamond Joe Biden series on him, just made him look like he was a loose cannon.

00:21:12.000 You know, he had the, this is the big effing deal, all that stuff.

00:21:17.000 It was funny.

00:21:18.000 I feel like people just like to gloss over that stuff.

00:21:20.000 But you also, Luke, you bring up an interesting point about the adoption of Black Lives Matter.

00:21:29.000 It's just amazing how so many of these global corporations, and they're global corporations, it's no longer such a thing as corporate America because these countries have basically fled the United States.

00:21:41.000 And they go to countries like China, they go to Southeast Asia for basically tax shelters.

00:21:47.000 When it comes to things like Black Lives Matter and racial equity or what have you, they rather flock to the Chinese Communist Party and get that sweet, sweet revenue. 0.97

00:22:00.000 Yeah.

00:22:01.000 Like through Nike, through Disney, say that they support like equal justice for all.

00:22:07.000 And then on the other side of the Pacific, you have the Chinese Communist Party locking up a million plus Uyghur Muslims just for the crime of practicing their faith.

00:22:17.000 That's true.

00:22:17.000 But you know, shout out to Disney for giving a thank you to the paramilitary group that's actually enforcing that because they helped make Mulan.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, yeah, it's that.

00:22:26.000 I mean, like, talk about woke, huh?

00:22:28.000 Yeah, talk about woke.

00:22:29.000 I know Biden appointed, you know, the former Disney representative to be the envoy to China.

00:22:34.000 Very fitting, so everything works great.

00:22:37.000 I love being lectured, you know, by all these politicians, corporations, the entertainment industry, Silicon Valley, about racism and injustice.

00:22:45.000 When it comes to China, they're absolutely silent about it.

00:22:47.000 They won't dare talk about the actual racism and injustices that happen there, since, of course, they get money from them, and that's crazy.

00:22:55.000 Look, I gotta ask, you know, What is it that creates this kind of person who lines up in lockstep with massive multinational corporations, the most notorious human rights abusers, to claim they have moral authority over anybody?

00:23:12.000 It's like the people standing next to McDonald's and Starbucks and Nike are like, we're morally just and you're the bad guys!

00:23:17.000 You know what it is?

00:23:18.000 It is... I mean, all politics is local.

00:23:23.000 When you don't have sort of a, add the human element of say, for example, say if there were one million Americans who were locked up in the Chinese, in these re-education camps, then Americans might actually care about it.

00:23:36.000 But until that happens, these are foreign descent people. 1.00

00:23:39.000 We'd never heard of them before.

00:23:41.000 And therefore... Yeah, I would have agreed with you maybe four or five years ago.

00:23:45.000 But now you've got articles in The Nation where they're like, I'm for prison abolition, but I want all of these Trump insurrectionists locked up.

00:23:51.000 If they came out and they were like, China has detained 1 million Trump supporters,

00:23:55.000 people in this country would be like, it's tough, but you know, this real threat is important that these people are

00:24:01.000 seeking help.

00:24:01.000 I mean, they're literally calling for truth and reconciliation commissions.

00:24:04.000 They've legit been doing it for some time now.

00:24:07.000 And it's only a matter of time.

00:24:09.000 I mean, they're going to start firing people.

00:24:12.000 There's this creep going on where one day they'll say, it's really bad that, you know, this racist person did this thing.

00:24:20.000 Two days later, they'll say, this is the most dangerous thing we've ever seen in our lives.

00:24:25.000 Then a week later, they'll say, we're literally facing extinction because of what this man did.

00:24:29.000 Like every day, whatever this one thing was, they exaggerated.

00:24:34.000 So I'll give you an example.

00:24:35.000 The January 6th incident, right?

00:24:37.000 With the storming of the Capitol.

00:24:38.000 It was definitely bad.

00:24:39.000 You know, these people stormed in.

00:24:41.000 But what they keep, they've completely forgotten or purposefully flubbed over what really happened.

00:24:47.000 Some people stormed to the front, fighting with cops, pepper spraying them, hitting them, all that bad stuff.

00:24:51.000 And a lot of people walked leisurely through the doors that were opened by police and took selfies with police officers.

00:24:57.000 So that's all forgotten.

00:24:58.000 And now all that anyone remembers of that day is like a horde of violent insurrectionists with a plan.

00:25:03.000 There was no plan.

00:25:03.000 These people have no idea what they were doing.

00:25:05.000 Now they're trying to impeach a president over it.

00:25:07.000 But my favorite thing is how AOC turns that day into... She fabricates this story, and I mean it.

00:25:14.000 She literally fabricated a story. 0.98

00:25:16.000 Because all that people remember about the 6th was the storming of the Capitol.

00:25:20.000 They ignore the entire morning of and what happened.

00:25:23.000 So now AOC can claim, in the early afternoon, something happened that made no sense.

00:25:27.000 It's like, we forget, essentially, what happened on the day, and they gaslight us over and over again to make it seem worse than it really is.

00:25:35.000 That's like leading to this dramatic escalation where we could get to a point.

00:25:39.000 We're at a point where they're basically like, we should bring the domestic war, the war on terror home domestically to go after the Trump supporting extremists.

00:25:47.000 There's like, um, a lack, uh, a lack of critical thinking or like a short sightedness.

00:25:52.000 I'm not sure exactly how to phrase it, but I think a lot of people suffer from.

00:25:55.000 I don't really surround myself with those people.

00:25:57.000 I'm used to hanging out with people that actually think about the past and equate that with what's going on and think about it.

00:26:03.000 But I think a lot of people are just driven by a lack of memory.

00:26:08.000 Maybe they don't have as good of a memory or something.

00:26:10.000 Lemmings. 0.76

00:26:11.000 Well, I mean, there are actual scientific studies that your memory tends to worsen during a traumatic event, or at least the correlation between your memory not being as good.

00:26:22.000 That's why, you know, when it's so important during criminal prosecutions and trials that You have multiple accounts, you can use forensic evidence to try to prove a particular suspect or defendant committed a particular crime because people's memories are very unreliable now.

00:26:42.000 And I mean, we were talking obviously before the show about AOC's timeline.

00:26:48.000 You know, it's so difficult for people to sort of, I'd say that the biggest folly of all of that is that A lot of journalists who were covering that did not take a step back to actually fact-check exactly what was going on.

00:27:04.000 They just took it at face value.

00:27:05.000 Not even conservatives.

00:27:09.000 We'll give everyone the context.

00:27:10.000 AOC tells this story, and we've talked about it quite a bit, about being in the Capitol and fearing for her life, thinking she was going to die because a cop was knocking on the door and she didn't know it was a cop.

00:27:18.000 So everyone just kind of took it at face value, and then Michael Tracy, a journalist, made a comment that she was manipulative, and that became the news cycle.

00:27:25.000 A day later, someone went, hey, wait a minute, she wasn't even in the Capitol building.

00:27:29.000 The story she was telling was she was in her office.

00:27:30.000 And everyone went, whoa, she wasn't even at the riot?

00:27:33.000 And then I saw everyone, you know, even Ben Shapiro were pointing this out saying, you know, maybe she was scared, but she wasn't even in the Capitol.

00:27:41.000 And so I did this tweet.

00:27:42.000 And I had a journalist from Huffington Post hit me up saying my timeline was wrong.

00:27:45.000 I was basically saying she was exaggerating the story because the evacuation she referenced, everybody was leisurely strolling through the building like nothing was happening.

00:27:53.000 So her claiming she was fearing for her life when everyone was fine.

00:27:55.000 Well, I deleted my tweet because he told me that I was wrong and I believed him. 1.00

00:27:59.000 Turns out, he was wrong.

00:28:01.000 Everybody was wrong.

00:28:02.000 AOC's story about being pinned down in her room while someone banged on the door happened a full hour and ten minutes before anyone stormed any building.

00:28:11.000 Before the Capitol was breached.

00:28:13.000 So, what happens is, now that it's been a month, and most people have forgotten the timeline of that day, and they only remember the snippet of, people stormed the Capitol, it was scary, When AoC comes out and says, someone banged on my door, it was scary, they instantly just mash that day into one moment, ignoring the timeline of events, and then you realize, AoC fabricated that story.

00:28:33.000 There's literally no way she thought, quote, they got in, when no one had any idea that was gonna happen.

00:28:40.000 I was watching the Twitter feeds, I was watching the livestreams, I was watching Trump's speech, and at 1pm I uploaded a video where I said, it's over, everyone's gonna leave, that's it, it's boring, nothing's gonna happen.

00:28:51.000 Literally at the exact same time she thought the world was ending, I was saying, nothing's happening, it's over.

00:28:56.000 And then an hour and ten minutes later, they breached the building.

00:28:59.000 So she makes this stuff up.

00:29:01.000 What's even worse is how you get even the fact checkers, like from Snopes, then using their gravitas and authority to basically, in a February 3rd article titled, did AOC exaggerate the danger she was in during the Capitol riot?

00:29:17.000 They rank it mostly false.

00:29:19.000 And then they say, what's true?

00:29:21.000 Ocasio-Cortez wasn't in the main Capitol building where the House and Senate chambers are located.

00:29:25.000 But think about that.

00:29:26.000 They try to argue, yes, they're like, she wasn't in the building, but the people were storming it and she was scared.

00:29:32.000 And I'm like, no, that was over an hour later and they didn't evacuate the House chamber until 2.39.

00:29:39.000 So what?

00:29:42.000 A full hour and what is this?

00:29:44.000 It was an hour and 40 minutes later they finally evacuated and they're claiming she didn't exaggerate?

00:29:48.000 They're lying.

00:29:50.000 I mean they did say, this is why they said what's false.

00:29:52.000 However, Ocasio-Cortez never claimed to be in the main Capitol building when the attack on the Capitol began.

00:29:57.000 Ocasio-Cortez was, as she stated, And that's not true.

00:30:03.000 She wasn't in her office at the time.

00:30:04.000 She was evacuated at one o'clock before the storm.

00:30:07.000 Yeah, what does it say specifically?

00:30:09.000 Can you read that?

00:30:11.000 No, no, it said, when the riot happened.

00:30:13.000 Is that what it says?

00:30:14.000 What is the exact quote?

00:30:16.000 Okay, right, right, right.

00:30:18.000 And so you could argue that the breaching of the barricade was an attack.

00:30:21.000 They'll get semantic on you.

00:30:23.000 But, but AOC was evacuated.

00:30:26.000 They did give the all clear at 153, so maybe she went back to her office, which would be very strange for her story.

00:30:32.000 I was terrified they were to kill me, so I went back to my office as the riot was happening.

00:30:35.000 And that's why they came kicking her door down, looking for her, basically.

00:30:37.000 They didn't go to her, they never went to her building.

00:30:39.000 They were like, open up, where is she?

00:30:40.000 That was a cop, at one o'clock.

00:30:42.000 Because she didn't report to where she was supposed to be?

00:30:44.000 No, no.

00:30:44.000 Oh, did you ever figure out why that was?

00:30:45.000 Yes.

00:30:46.000 A cop was going and telling everybody they were clearing the building because of a bomb scare.

00:30:49.000 Okay.

00:30:50.000 That was according to Huffington Post reporter.

00:30:51.000 That because there was a bomb planted at the RNC, which is just right outside Longworth in Cannon.

00:30:57.000 So, what made her think someone knocking on her door was they got in and this was the end of her life?

00:31:02.000 She had no idea.

00:31:03.000 Panic attack.

00:31:04.000 But that's deep paranoia, or she's just lying.

00:31:07.000 And also, she said in her video that she thought the Capitol Police officer was possibly in on the riot.

00:31:16.000 Again, how could she possibly have known that without having seen any of the footage of, say, like, any of the Capitol Police officers, like, taking selfies with some of the protesters?

00:31:25.000 That didn't happen yet.

00:31:26.000 That never happened.

00:31:26.000 Yeah, that didn't happen.

00:31:27.000 How would she know that?

00:31:29.000 This almost seems like a memory that she formed herself after the fact.

00:31:33.000 Or she's just making it up.

00:31:34.000 Like, when a cop kicks the door and she has that much fear and distrust.

00:31:34.000 Or she's making it up.

00:31:37.000 He didn't kick the door in.

00:31:38.000 He knocked on the door and they let her in.

00:31:39.000 When he came in, yeah, when he was allowed in, and she had so much fear and distrust of someone in uniform.

00:31:45.000 No, no.

00:31:45.000 That makes me nervous.

00:31:46.000 Or was he playing clothes?

00:31:47.000 She didn't know who was knocking at the door.

00:31:49.000 He was in uniform.

00:31:50.000 Someone knocked on the door and she ran and hid in the bathroom.

00:31:52.000 And the guy let her in.

00:31:53.000 And then she looked at him in the eyes.

00:31:55.000 She said that he looked like he wanted to kill her. 0.97

00:31:57.000 He wanted to hurt her.

00:31:58.000 She's like, I don't know if I'm projecting.

00:32:00.000 He knocked on the door.

00:32:00.000 That amount of fear and paranoia that she was exuding is dangerous for someone in Congress to have.

00:32:04.000 Listen, right, you're right.

00:32:05.000 But he knocked on the door and then this person said, go, run, hide.

00:32:10.000 Her assistant?

00:32:10.000 Told her to run and hide because someone knocked on their door. I don't know these people are nuts man

00:32:14.000 Well, let's move forward with I want to keep on the critical race theory stuff because we have this story from 0.97

00:32:18.000 the New York Post LA Times columnist blasted for comparing Trump supporting

00:32:22.000 neighbors to Nazi sympathizers This is the level of depravity that we're starting to see

00:32:27.000 You know We were just mentioning in the previous segment that you

00:32:30.000 could probably take a million Trump supporters put them in one of these

00:32:33.000 Re-education camps and the left would be like a good it's a good thing 1.00

00:32:37.000 Here's a story they say LA Times columnist of Virginia Hefferman Heffernan is

00:32:42.000 Being slammed for a piece in which she compared the Trump bites next door to our pandemic getaway in upstate, New

00:32:49.000 York Despite their aggressive niceness to Nazi sympathizers and

00:32:53.000 Hezbollah because they backed Donald Trump The Brooklyn-born writer, also a cultural columnist at Wired, wrote on Friday that her neighbors, who seem as devoted to the ex-president as you can get without being Q fans, just plowed our driveway without being asked and did a great job.

00:33:09.000 How am I going to resist demands for unity in the face of this act of aggressive niceness?

00:33:14.000 Is this an Onion article?

00:33:15.000 No!

00:33:17.000 It's LA Times.

00:33:19.000 Literally a journalist posting her L. Do they think this resonates with people?

00:33:25.000 So her friendly neighbors scooped her driveway, cleaned the snow off.

00:33:30.000 It was pretty deep too.

00:33:31.000 The picture was nuts.

00:33:33.000 There was a lot of snow up against her building.

00:33:35.000 They did a lot of work.

00:33:37.000 And she's like, how am I supposed to not unify with them now?

00:33:40.000 Oh no, the propagandists on Twitter are telling you to hate your neighbor, and it's so hard because they're good people!

00:33:46.000 What's so wild about it is that in 2016, everyone was blaming Trump's victory on how all of his supporters are so insulated and they would not engage with other people from other communities.

00:34:01.000 And here you go, a neighbor trying to plow someone else's driveway, showing like an act of friendship and trying to reach out and all of a sudden, can't do it. 0.94

00:34:10.000 You're a Hezbollah and a Nazi for trying to do that. 1.00

00:34:14.000 This is cult-like behavior! 0.98

00:34:15.000 It's sad.

00:34:16.000 I feel sorry for her because, I mean...

00:34:19.000 Imagine being this human being when someone reaches out, does something nice to you, and because they don't believe the same political ideas, you hate them to the point where you think that they're trying to exterminate a whole race of people.

00:34:30.000 I mean, that's just absolutely insane.

00:34:33.000 And this lady I wrote when talking about this is just the perfect byproduct and victim of this woke algorithm that radicalized her and made her into a person that can't even live life normally. 1.00

00:34:43.000 That sadly is stuck in this perpetual loop of hate and fear that she's caught up in because she's also writing a lot of the puff pieces.

00:34:50.000 She's also manipulating a lot of the information, trying to, of course, gain all the followers, monetize her clicks. 1.00

00:34:56.000 She's a part of this entire system that is spinning out of control, and this is a perfect, perfect example of going utterly crazy.

00:35:05.000 This is yes, but it's not just her. No, this is just because she's prominent and she writes for the LA times

00:35:10.000 We hear this but I've seen so much stuff like this how insane these people have gotten

00:35:16.000 That you can you can not even like maybe not even a trump supporter. You'll just be like, I don't know

00:35:22.000 I think everyone's kind of crazy. Trump's got bad, but you know, he's not the worst guy in the world and they'll still

00:35:26.000 be like Oh, oh, you're a fascist. You're far right or you're you're 0.90

00:35:30.000 what is it far right adjacent?

00:35:33.000 What does that one mean?

00:35:34.000 Does it mean you're just right wing?

00:35:35.000 I don't, you know, I have my feelings on Trump.

00:35:39.000 I wasn't a big fan of his behavior, his personality, but like, he wasn't evil, man.

00:35:43.000 He's out of office.

00:35:44.000 He left office.

00:35:45.000 He didn't get us into any overt war.

00:35:47.000 He didn't like, I mean, he did escalate the drone war campaign, unfortunately, but He didn't persecute and murder a bunch of Americans.

00:35:54.000 He did separate people at the border.

00:35:56.000 That was the most terrifying imprisonment of people he did on American soil that I'm aware of.

00:36:02.000 But comparing him to Hitler, it's over the edge.

00:36:05.000 It's misanthropy.

00:36:08.000 I don't know how to describe it.

00:36:09.000 Let me read this quote.

00:36:10.000 She said, the favors Hezbollah does for people in the cities of Tyre and Sedan probably don't

00:36:15.000 involve snowplows, but like other mafias, Hezbollah tends to its own. 0.97

00:36:21.000 The Shiite, sick, elderly, and hungry, she wrote, they offer protection and hospitality and win

00:36:26.000 loyalty that way. And they also demand devotion to their brutal us-versus-them anti-Sunni cause. 0.88

00:36:33.000 Some of us are family, the favorists say. 0.67

00:36:35.000 The rest are infidels. 1.00

00:36:37.000 Is she trying to claim that the people who plowed her driveway did it so that they would force her to like them as like a loyalty test?

00:36:46.000 They really plowed my driveway so that I would have no choice but to support Trump?

00:36:51.000 They probably just like doing it. 1.00

00:36:52.000 They're nuts. 1.00

00:36:53.000 These people are crazy. 1.00

00:36:54.000 Well, I mean, like, if you think of what most people's motivations are, if it's not for 0.97

00:36:59.000 money, if it's not to, like, you know, attract someone in particular, most of the time people

00:37:04.000 do friendly things to get some...

00:37:08.000 Well, if it's not to, obviously, like, for their own, like, internal benefit, like, they

00:37:13.000 like doing nice things for other people because, you know, they feel good after they do it.

00:37:16.000 Yeah, like you're doing something.

00:37:17.000 Yeah.

00:37:18.000 They like to do nice things for other people to get other people to like them.

00:37:22.000 It's just kind of basic human nature.

00:37:24.000 It's not confusing.

00:37:26.000 Well, not to us.

00:37:27.000 So I would say that if you were doing something like plowing someone's driveway as a favor, you're probably going to expect them to, like, mow your lawn for you, maybe?

00:37:33.000 Well, that's a very transactional way of looking at it.

00:37:36.000 I think most people would not expect something in return when they do something nice for someone else.

00:37:41.000 Yeah, we had a neighbor that would always shovel our... He'd be shoveling his sidewalk, and then he'd just keep shoveling, you know?

00:37:45.000 Shovel our sidewalk.

00:37:46.000 He had the shovel.

00:37:47.000 He was outside.

00:37:48.000 So what causes this?

00:37:49.000 Because this is very different from, say, critical race theory or critical theory.

00:37:52.000 This is just, I don't know what, media-driven cult psychosis?

00:37:58.000 I'd say it's boredom.

00:38:00.000 Boredom?

00:38:00.000 Yeah, I think people just honestly don't have enough to write about, so they find the things that bother them in their life, and boom, you get a column like Virginia Heffernan, who has, by the way, made the list, and has blocked me because of being on there.

00:38:16.000 Basically posting how like triggered they are by some Trump supporters plowing their driveway I mean come on like if you do something nice for me I'm gonna like you know offer you in you know bring you know Coffee hot cocoa like you want to hang out like I'm game for that It's just I don't understand why some people are sort of wired in the way that like You gotta like flesh out everything about that person.

00:38:39.000 We live in a very deeply cynical world I think boredom does fuel a lot of this, you know, cult-like behavior.

00:38:46.000 The writers are desperate for something to write about to make money at their jobs, and so they'll try and find something.

00:38:51.000 Exactly.

00:38:51.000 There was one funny article we read a while back about, you know, Ivanka Trump's address signifying alt-right nationalism.

00:38:59.000 It crammed every keyword possible in a ridiculous article. 0.73

00:39:02.000 But I think what happens is you have this grifter class of people in media who will say whatever they need to say to pander to their cult. 0.84

00:39:11.000 And then the people who are in the cult just have no purpose.

00:39:14.000 So when they see, you know, this person standing atop the tower holding the tablet saying, go do these things, they're like, that's my reason for being.

00:39:21.000 That's my existence.

00:39:23.000 Otherwise, they don't have anything else.

00:39:24.000 So, you know, I've talked about this in the context of Jordan Peterson, one of the reasons why I think they hated him so much, and still do.

00:39:31.000 Is that he gives purpose to many young people, not necessarily conservatives, who they're looking for something in their lives.

00:39:38.000 They have no purpose.

00:39:39.000 And he said, find the heaviest thing you can you can carry and carry it.

00:39:43.000 He tells people to be responsible themselves, clean their room.

00:39:46.000 Well, these a lot of these cult-like far leftists.

00:39:49.000 need purposelessness in order to be the solution to that problem.

00:39:54.000 So when you have these young people who are like, I don't know what I'm alive for, what am I doing?

00:39:59.000 They say, wokeness, join the cult, be one of us.

00:40:02.000 And they go, finally, purpose.

00:40:04.000 Well, I actually do.

00:40:05.000 I mean, I see where you're going with this, because I think one of the Aspects that made for a lot of young Muslim men, and some women, but mostly young Muslim men.

00:40:17.000 Part of the funneling that whole radical Islamic terrorism aspect is that once you hit a certain age, you know, young adulthood, you're trying to start figuring out what your purpose is in life, you turn to religion.

00:40:29.000 Some people turn to it a little bit more so.

00:40:31.000 Not everyone.

00:40:32.000 Everyone finds something different, but something that gives your life meaning and purpose.

00:40:37.000 When it came to a lot of these young Muslims who felt sort of disillusioned by what was happening in the world, some of them were either, say, very turned off by sort of the way society or the direction society was headed through culture, through politics, what have you.

00:40:56.000 And a lot of them, and this is actually kind of indicative of a lot of particular terrorist suspects who have either carried out their attack versus were caught in the middle or trying to commit their act, they were not, for all intents and purposes, Practicing or good Muslims by the standard of like, you know, they go out partying they drink they do drugs They'd have premarital sex things like that and then they go, you know almost pivot the entire 180 to some radical ideology within and in this case Islam and

00:41:33.000 join up with Al-Qaeda, with ISIS, and basically try to give themselves some sort of meaning by

00:41:41.000 fulfilling what they think is a prophecy set out by God, when really it's just obviously people

00:41:47.000 taking, you know, manipulating these people for violent and political purposes. There are people

00:41:52.000 who want to wield the power, and there are people who are just desperate to have meaning in their

00:41:58.000 I don't blame, you know, I feel bad for a lot of these people.

00:42:01.000 The people who found, say, Jordan Peterson and decided just to find their own path, figure something out and work hard, basically just take advice from someone who tells you to be a chill person and just, you know, be responsible.

00:42:12.000 Those people found a good path.

00:42:14.000 Probably, a lot of them are probably happy now, after reading and listening to what he had to say.

00:42:18.000 I'm not, I'm not saying, you know, Dr. Peterson is perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but when you've got aimless, listless young people playing video games all day, just gaining weight in their basement, and then one day someone says, go for a walk, clean your room, get active, and they do, they're gonna start feeling better about themselves.

00:42:33.000 I mean, we live in a society that nurtures immediate gratification.

00:42:38.000 And when you see people who sort of like get rich quick overnight, whether through, you know, through Bitcoin or Robinhood or Wall Street bets, or even like going viral on the Internet, going on Twitch, going on Twitter, going on TikTok, like, These are things that, you know, for a lot of young people who aren't seeing that type of success immediately overnight, they start to think, why not me?

00:43:03.000 Why is this not happening to me?

00:43:04.000 Is there something wrong with me?

00:43:06.000 There is.

00:43:07.000 They didn't watch Fight Club.

00:43:09.000 We were all told that we're going to be rock stars and astronauts.

00:43:12.000 It's not true.

00:43:13.000 You might just be a dude in the backyard chopping wood.

00:43:16.000 Be happy with yourself, your life.

00:43:18.000 Find your own meaning.

00:43:18.000 Read a book.

00:43:19.000 But you can be a rock star and an astronaut.

00:43:22.000 You can, you can.

00:43:23.000 I think the issue is, you know, it's crazy when I see these stories about bands that break up, and people are like, why would they break up?

00:43:31.000 They had it all.

00:43:32.000 And it's like, dude, you really don't understand the amount of work and suffering that goes into trying to maintain such high-level positions.

00:43:39.000 They assume that you're a rock star, everything must be easy.

00:43:41.000 It's like that song.

00:43:42.000 No, you gotta eat the right food.

00:43:43.000 It's such a sacrifice.

00:43:45.000 No, no, no. 1.00

00:43:46.000 Ridiculous. 0.97

00:43:47.000 You know that song, Money for Nothing? 0.92

00:43:48.000 Where it's like, you know, we got to move these microwave ovens.

00:43:51.000 It was basically about these guys who are apparently, I'm probably messing up the story

00:43:55.000 in some capacity, the Dire Straits heard these guys watching their music video complaining

00:43:59.000 about how they get everything for free and it's like, dude, it's hard work to maintain

00:44:03.000 all this stuff.

00:44:04.000 So bands, these high profile bands, these famous individuals, many of them, look, don't

00:44:08.000 get me wrong, some of them barely do anything and get money, it happens.

00:44:11.000 But a lot of them are working so hard, they're like, I can't do this anymore.

00:44:14.000 I can't be around these people.

00:44:15.000 This is toxic. 1.00

00:44:16.000 Every day sucks. 0.86

00:44:17.000 I want to be with my family. 0.97

00:44:18.000 And they break up and they give it all up.

00:44:20.000 They'd rather not make the money and just be the dude in the backyard chopping lumber.

00:44:25.000 Case in point, Dylan Rattigan.

00:44:26.000 You know Dylan Rattigan, right?

00:44:27.000 Yeah.

00:44:28.000 What's he doing?

00:44:28.000 He's farming now, right?

00:44:29.000 I believe he was in Italy last time.

00:44:31.000 He's doing small-time appearances on Jimmy Dore, but he was a big-time MSNBC anchor, and he was also, you know, a friend.

00:44:38.000 He started farming.

00:44:40.000 He started building, he started getting into, I think, solar panels and sustainable communities and doing a lot of cool hippie stuff.

00:44:48.000 But he was in the business.

00:44:49.000 He was a mainline MSNBC anchor, and he was one of the few people that criticized Wall Street, that criticized the big banks, and he dealt with the internal powers that be at MSNBC that fire anchors for not towing the line, the agenda, and he was just disenfranchised by it, but great person.

00:45:06.000 You know, there are many stories like this where there's somebody who seems to have it

00:45:11.000 all and then just wants to be the dude in the backyard chopping wood.

00:45:15.000 Because it feels good to just be out there working with your hands.

00:45:18.000 Do you really want to give up your mind, soul, and body to something?

00:45:21.000 Or do you want to just have the freedom?

00:45:23.000 There are a lot of people who think it must be so great, the grass is always greener,

00:45:28.000 instead of just working on themselves, being happy with their own lives.

00:45:31.000 And so what they do is they seek purpose.

00:45:33.000 Some of them will get trapped in an addiction cycle like a video game.

00:45:37.000 You know, these video games offer up a dopamine reaction when you succeed.

00:45:41.000 You play the game, you earn experience points, boom!

00:45:43.000 New level, new armor, new weapon, you know, whatever game you're playing, and it feels good when you get it.

00:45:47.000 Other people join these cult-like ideologies because they feel like they're doing something, like they finally matter.

00:45:53.000 And they won't give it up, because if they finally realize their ideology is psychotic, like screaming at your neighbors for literally no reason, it shatters their worldview.

00:46:01.000 They are purposelessness.

00:46:04.000 They have become purposeless.

00:46:06.000 You brought up a point that I'm literally writing about in my journal right now.

00:46:09.000 When you look at people who have been radicalized, because let's be honest here, she's radicalized to a very big extent where she can't even take a nice gesture.

00:46:18.000 When you look at people who are radicalized, they're usually hopeless, as you said, purposeless, they're uneducated, and they don't have a family.

00:46:25.000 And when you see those bigger kind of trends unfolding on a larger scale and a lot more people being radicalized, this truly is showing something that we should be concerned about because when you see this trend keep going the way it is, it's only going to lead to more troubles politically, socially.

00:46:44.000 Violence.

00:46:44.000 And yeah, exactly.

00:46:47.000 Right now this lady's like, what do I do? 1.00

00:46:49.000 They're being nice.

00:46:50.000 Well, she's writing that essentially her neighbors are being nice to her because it's all about generating the loyalty.

00:46:56.000 Hey, I did this for you.

00:46:57.000 Come join us.

00:46:58.000 Like she's equating them with Hezbollah.

00:47:00.000 What happens when she goes even further?

00:47:03.000 What happens when you have somebody who just truly believes, oh no, they're walking to my house with shovels.

00:47:08.000 They're here to hurt me.

00:47:08.000 And they pulled a weapon or something crazy like that.

00:47:11.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:11.000 Yeah.

00:47:12.000 What happens when they truly believe there's no good intent?

00:47:14.000 Sometimes they'll try and set them up and like blackmail them and stuff.

00:47:17.000 That happens.

00:47:18.000 People go that far, I know.

00:47:19.000 That's kind of crazy.

00:47:20.000 I think we're, you know, we saw, uh, there was an article Chris Hayes wrote for, I think it was the Atlantic, where he said, rural areas are getting reliably more red, and suburban areas and urban areas are getting reliably more blue, for whatever reason.

00:47:33.000 You can even zoom in and see it.

00:47:35.000 The closer you get to a city, the bluer things get.

00:47:38.000 And why is that?

00:47:38.000 Even, even in red states, when you find urban centers, they're blue.

00:47:43.000 Even in red states, it's really weird.

00:47:45.000 And so what's happening is that, one of the things that may be happening is that people are leaving cities.

00:47:50.000 Conservatives, or people who are more likely to be right-leaning or moderate or conservative, will go find like-minded people where they can be comfortable, and the Democrat, liberal leftists are doing similar things.

00:48:02.000 This is going to create a space, a situation in this country, where there's no cross-communication anymore, and it's just like you'll see someone and be like, they're evil.

00:48:12.000 There's also been a huge demographic shift over the last decade just because, as I said before, all politics are local, or all politics is local, and when you find that your local politicians are implementing policies that, say, go against your values, Well, oftentimes they're not.

00:48:30.000 Yeah, you're going to leave.

00:48:31.000 I mean, just look at how many people have left California for Texas or for Arizona and are slowly turning those states blue.

00:48:38.000 Not always.

00:48:39.000 I mean, Arizona turned blue, but Texas, much closer in this past election than in years past.

00:48:46.000 And this is sort of the folly when it comes to, say for some Republicans in these states, is that you become a victim of your own success.

00:48:55.000 All of a sudden they're now electing people that are going to implement policies that are antithetical to yours.

00:49:02.000 They bring, you know, there was that comic where Joe Rogan is walking from California to Texas, you know, smiling and he's carrying a bag on wheels, you know, a roller bag, and it says liberal policies.

00:49:12.000 And there was like a cowboy guy saying like, hey, why don't you leave that where you got it?

00:49:16.000 And that's the idea.

00:49:17.000 You know, someone like Joe Rogan may be a pretty, you know, mild, reasonable guy.

00:49:22.000 He's fairly libertarian, but he is fairly left on a lot of issues.

00:49:25.000 And so he might, you know, he'll end up coming.

00:49:27.000 And then what happens is with all of his good intentions, Yes.

00:49:30.000 Who was it?

00:49:30.000 Oh my goodness.

00:49:31.000 who seems moderate libertarian which will be further left than the traditional

00:49:35.000 Republican runs in the area and then it's just it's a slow process where it

00:49:39.000 the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Didn't someone compare him to

00:49:42.000 Rush Limbaugh today? Yes yeah Washington Washington Post said that Joe Rogan is

00:49:46.000 the next Rush Limbaugh. Are you kidding me?

00:49:51.000 Do you want to talk about it?

00:49:53.000 I could see it.

00:49:55.000 Yeah, I mean, both bald.

00:49:56.000 Check this out.

00:49:56.000 Okay, so we do have this story from the Washington Post.

00:49:59.000 It says, Rush Limbaugh is ailing, and so is conservative talk radio industry.

00:50:04.000 It's from Paul Fahey.

00:50:05.000 Ah, this guy.

00:50:07.000 We know Paul.

00:50:08.000 And in this, he actually brings up this one point about, basically the article is saying that talk radio is on the decline, and that means conservatives are in trouble, but he says one very important thing.

00:50:25.000 The shift makes someone like comedian Joe Rogan, a libertarian with a hugely popular podcast, quote, the next Rush Limbaugh, says Paul Matsko, the author of The Radio Right, how a band of broadcasters took on the federal government and built the modern conservative movement.

00:50:41.000 Well, okay, so Farhi isn't himself saying that Joe Rogan is the next Rush Limbaugh, but that is a heck of a statement to be made.

00:50:50.000 I mean, like, in terms of impact?

00:50:52.000 Maybe.

00:50:52.000 I mean, Rush Limbaugh has been a force on the right in conservative radio.

00:50:55.000 But Joe Rogan's not a force on the right?

00:50:57.000 No, Joe Rogan's not a force on the right, but he is a force.

00:51:00.000 True.

00:51:00.000 But, you know, I guess in the idea of influence in talk shows, but Larry King had an influence in talk shows.

00:51:08.000 Yeah, it's a wild stretch.

00:51:10.000 I mean, he could have said Howard Stern.

00:51:11.000 He could have said Larry King.

00:51:12.000 People listen to Rogan like a spiritual guide, kind of like how Rush Limbaugh is.

00:51:17.000 The problem is Rogan doesn't puppeteer the talking points.

00:51:19.000 He doesn't go along with the agenda.

00:51:21.000 He actually questions things and tries to rationalize them instead of just pushing out propaganda.

00:51:25.000 And that's why he's such a mattering ram.

00:51:27.000 That's why it's so dangerous, because you get someone who inspires you to question the narrative and question things as they are.

00:51:36.000 Questioning authority?

00:51:37.000 Who wants that? 1.00

00:51:38.000 Who in authority wants that?

00:51:40.000 Rush Limbaugh is a conservative with conservative opinions, and when he tells stories and he talks, he's talking.

00:51:46.000 It's not, for the most part... But you did explain to me, off the show, that there's no such thing as the left and right anymore.

00:51:53.000 It is the woke cult, and then the not-cult.

00:51:58.000 So right now we're looking at the example of Joe Rogan's part of the not-cult, but he has his own cult-like following, if you want to make that comparison.

00:52:09.000 But he's challenging everything within that world cult, for the most part.

00:52:13.000 Yeah, so I guess in that stance, you're probably right.

00:52:16.000 Isn't that the weirdest thing?

00:52:18.000 That left and right has nothing to do with... Look, we were talking earlier, I said there's no real left and right anymore, you agreed, you said it's a horseshoe, and I said it's a Jackson Pollock painting.

00:52:28.000 It's just, I don't know who's what, who's where, so I can come out and be like, all of my, you know, policy positions have been traditional liberal, but I think the Democrats are manipulative, and they're lying to people, and the media is lying too, and that's a right-wing position, apparently, so, I guess?

00:52:43.000 I think we'll be all, like, by 2069, nice, we'll be all a, like, a homogenized, like, You know, we talk about the mixing bowl.

00:52:53.000 That's when we'll all be homogenized.

00:52:55.000 Everybody literally has a position, takes every single position on everything.

00:52:59.000 Like Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:53:01.000 What do you mean?

00:53:02.000 She takes a position on everything.

00:53:04.000 Yeah.

00:53:04.000 I mean, there are a lot of things where I'm like, I don't know.

00:53:08.000 You know, Keystone Pipeline's a good example.

00:53:10.000 The left says it's causing oil spills and it's like, OK.

00:53:13.000 And the right says freight delivery causes more oil spills.

00:53:16.000 So Keystone actually is an improvement.

00:53:19.000 We mentioned this on the show the other day.

00:53:20.000 There's this meme about the U.S.

00:53:22.000 government spent millions of dollars developing a pen that can be used in zero gravity so they can write while they're in outer space.

00:53:29.000 The Russians used a pencil! 1.00

00:53:31.000 And then everyone laughs.

00:53:32.000 And these leftists share the meme saying, it was such a simple solution and America wastes all this money.

00:53:38.000 And then the new meme now is someone writing a correction saying, using a pencil can get particulate matter from the pencil into the air, which can be dangerous for the filtration system and what you are breathing.

00:53:48.000 And so because they need a purified environment, it is dangerous to use a pencil.

00:53:52.000 So the U.S.

00:53:53.000 created a pressurized pen to use in outer space for safety purposes.

00:53:56.000 It makes a ton of sense.

00:53:58.000 When you don't understand and you think you're smarter, the simple solution sounds like it's right.

00:54:01.000 But in reality, it wasn't.

00:54:03.000 It makes me keep thinking about this, where when a new person goes from California to Texas, they want to impose what they think is right.

00:54:09.000 And often what you think is right isn't.

00:54:12.000 So that's when, like, When you want to push your beliefs, whatever they are, you've got to look at history and look at the patterns and think of yourself as part of a pattern. 0.98

00:54:21.000 I just think of myself as a dumbass. 0.99

00:54:22.000 You're not a dumbass, Lou. 0.99

00:54:24.000 Because, again, you have to understand there's a lot of stuff we don't know about, and a lot of people think that they know everything. 0.99

00:54:30.000 We don't. 0.98

00:54:30.000 Well, so we are dumbass. 0.98

00:54:32.000 Let's talk about the subtle erosion when it comes to politics. 0.98

00:54:36.000 With Joe Rogan being the example of, like, the new right.

00:54:40.000 If we're talking about the left being the cult and the right being the not-cult, then yeah, I guess, as strange as it might sound, Joe Rogan may very well be the next Rush Limbaugh.

00:54:49.000 The only difference is, Joe is talking to people.

00:54:52.000 He's not, for the most part, getting up there and for hours talking about how he feels about what's going on.

00:54:58.000 So there is a difference.

00:54:59.000 But in terms of policy changes that's going to affect this country, You know, so we're out here in the middle of nowhere.

00:55:06.000 I've gone to a few gun shops and I was talking to this one guy and he was saying, oh, we got all these liberals moving in now, you know, because since COVID and the riots and now they're coming to buy guns.

00:55:16.000 And I'm like, and I laughed and I'm like, I'm one of them.

00:55:19.000 And then he gave me this look.

00:55:21.000 He was just like, oh, and I'm like, here's my, you know, former ID from this, you know, very blue place.

00:55:26.000 And I was like, no, don't look at me, man.

00:55:27.000 I'm not voting.

00:55:28.000 And I was like, because I don't know.

00:55:30.000 I lived in this place and it got bad, and now I'm coming to a new place?

00:55:35.000 I'll defer to you guys.

00:55:36.000 And then he was like, no, just vote for, you know, the people we tell you to vote for.

00:55:39.000 And I was like, I'll just leave it to you.

00:55:41.000 I'm not gonna get involved.

00:55:42.000 But here's what happens.

00:55:43.000 Joe's a good dude.

00:55:44.000 He's got a lot of good ideas, and he's fairly rational, right?

00:55:47.000 But he'll come in, and I mean this with the utmost respect, I don't think his intention's going to be, I'm gonna turn this place deep blue and make it as bad as California.

00:55:56.000 Because he fully understands why California's bad.

00:55:59.000 So he's probably soured on a lot of the policies of California that are deep blue.

00:56:03.000 However, there are probably some things where he's like, look, I like that Texas does a lot of these things, but there are some things I think should change.

00:56:10.000 Legalize weed.

00:56:11.000 That's the slow erosion.

00:56:13.000 There's issues pertaining to family, there's issues pertaining to marijuana, for instance, that can lead to bigger changes down the road.

00:56:19.000 And as an individual person, you might not realize the correlation between one policy and the next.

00:56:24.000 So you might think, it's no big deal that I'm saying we should allow or not allow this one particular thing, not realizing it is just one domino being knocked over, which eventually ripples down the line.

00:56:34.000 So let's say you, you know, want, think marijuana should be legalized.

00:56:38.000 You vote for it.

00:56:39.000 Now all of a sudden you get a bunch of dispensaries popping up and a bunch of industries from California and Colorado, blue areas, move in and set up massive businesses and relocate their employees, sending in more deep blue voters.

00:56:48.000 There's things like that.

00:56:49.000 It's not, it's not so cut and dry.

00:56:51.000 Yeah, I mean, you just gotta get Republicans to start smoking weed and you got no problem.

00:56:56.000 They'll become libertarians overnight.

00:56:59.000 Psilocybin.

00:57:00.000 I'm into it.

00:57:00.000 You just gotta slowly push that on them.

00:57:04.000 Just be like, it's okay.

00:57:06.000 I laugh and joke, but if everyone took a dose of psilocybin, I think this world would be drastically altered for the better.

00:57:13.000 I don't know about for the better, man.

00:57:15.000 Or they could freak out and have a total... That will probably happen. 0.93

00:57:19.000 Again, when you're talking about psilocybin, your own personal decision.

00:57:23.000 Some people have really great, amazing, eye-opening experiences like Bill Hicks.

00:57:27.000 Some people freak the hell out and have horrible experiences because their self-control is trying to limit their kind of expansion and they're fighting each other and that fighting creates a lot of conflict between them.

00:57:41.000 They're already insane, they're already out of control and crazy, so like... That's oversimplifying war.

00:57:46.000 That's oversimplifying war. 0.99

00:57:48.000 We don't have war because someone's just crazy.

00:57:50.000 There are reasons behind why they declare war, and typically it's over resources.

00:57:53.000 True, you could have, like the berserkers, the history was they would take, like, crazy psychoactives and then go into battle psychotic.

00:58:00.000 So you can have a society that's on psychoactives and violent, so you're right about that.

00:58:04.000 Right, but what I'm saying is, you said there would be world peace if people did psilocybin.

00:58:08.000 Well, communication is what really brings it.

00:58:10.000 And that helped me learn communication skills.

00:58:12.000 You could take a world leader and have them take shrooms, and they're still going to say, but my country needs oil.

00:58:18.000 Maybe.

00:58:18.000 Maybe not, though.

00:58:19.000 I don't know, man.

00:58:20.000 You see outside the box on that stuff.

00:58:22.000 So you think that a country that's heavily sanctioned, like Iran, for instance, and their people are starving and their currency is hyperinflating, that the Ayatollah takes shrooms and also is going to be like, let my people He'd probably be like, well, oil is feeding my people, so I can't stop right now because they'll die, but... As opposed to, maybe the but wasn't there before.

00:58:38.000 I think, I think, you know, it's like saying a father would sacrifice his kids if he took shrooms.

00:58:43.000 I just don't see it.

00:58:44.000 Sacrifice them?

00:58:45.000 Why? 1.00

00:58:45.000 Let them die? 1.00

00:58:46.000 Like, a leader of their people in their country are not gonna abandon them simply because they had a trip.

00:58:51.000 No, but those are two kind of extremes and you really kind of have to experience it to understand what kind of happens to you.

00:58:57.000 There's a lot of possibilities in this kind of larger spectrum, but there have been a lot of scientific studies, especially with microdosing, showing that it does actually help your mental cognitive functions increase and help Sure.

00:59:09.000 a lot of PTSD and a lot of other internalized kind of depression linked issues that couldn't

00:59:15.000 be solved with other issues but Mushroom specifically did in particular studies.

00:59:20.000 So but the issue I see is if you've got a nation and they're being besieged by another

00:59:26.000 nation repeatedly and their people are being killed, doing shrooms won't change that fact 0.98

00:59:31.000 that they're being threatened and attacked and they will respond in kind.

00:59:34.000 It won't change the fact, right, that there is a siege.

00:59:37.000 They won't, like, lift the siege, but it will change the way you view and your tactics.

00:59:42.000 So let me ask you, if I was throwing rocks at your face, would you stop me?

00:59:47.000 Yeah.

00:59:48.000 If you took shrooms, and then the next day I threw rocks at your face, would you stop me?

00:59:52.000 Mm-hmm.

00:59:52.000 So how come there's no peace?

00:59:55.000 There's external factors in war that's not related to what you do with your shrooms.

00:59:59.000 Someone taking psychedelics is not going to change.

01:00:01.000 Well, I would stop you in different ways, depending on the situation.

01:00:05.000 You'd build a wall.

01:00:06.000 I might grab it and stand up. 0.93

01:00:08.000 I might throw it back at you.

01:00:09.000 You'd get a bag to catch it, or you'd build a wall with the rocks that you're throwing.

01:00:13.000 I have a simple statement that I saw today in a meme, so it's now my philosophy that I live by, and it says, do no harm, take no ish.

01:00:21.000 And I think, yin and yang, I think if people have reasonable approaches like that, I think They could go about things, especially if they have their minds opened up to new perspectives.

01:00:31.000 It could go along in a way that could be a lot more productive and conducive than doing it just the old-fashioned way.

01:00:37.000 And when you look at psychedelic mushrooms, they usually help people realize those other possibilities.

01:00:41.000 But again, not a medical doctor, not recommending it to you.

01:00:44.000 I know a lot of people that had really bad trips and had psychosis and dealt with some really negative impacts.

01:00:50.000 So if you are going to do something, do your own homework, do your own research, talk to some professionals, especially on this topic, because it is a very important one that you need to take seriously and not just decide from a YouTuber, and I'm going to take a bunch of motions there.

01:01:03.000 So let's follow up on the initial conversation.

01:01:06.000 You know, I see a lot of people moving to Texas, and I'm just like, why?

01:01:10.000 You know, I've had people say to me, like, you should move to Texas, and I was like, nah, I'm not gonna move to Texas.

01:01:13.000 Austin?

01:01:14.000 Yeah, everybody's moving to Austin.

01:01:15.000 Didn't Elon Musk go there?

01:01:16.000 Yep, he's right outside Austin.

01:01:18.000 Elon and Joe, and who else went there?

01:01:20.000 Is Chappelle down there, or is he just too old?

01:01:22.000 No, Chappelle's in Ohio.

01:01:24.000 Ben Shapiro left California, too.

01:01:26.000 He went to Nashville.

01:01:27.000 Yeah, he left California.

01:01:28.000 But a lot of people are going to Texas.

01:01:29.000 A lot of smaller YouTubers, but still, like, prominent personalities are in Texas.

01:01:32.000 It's warm.

01:01:33.000 That's nice.

01:01:34.000 Dry.

01:01:35.000 Do you guys really think this will make Texas turn blue?

01:01:37.000 Do you think, Siraj?

01:01:38.000 Oh, I don't know if it will, I think, I've always thought it would turn blue within like the next 10 years, not this election.

01:01:46.000 But look, just by pure voting numbers, if you look at how Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump, I think she lost by like 800,000 votes.

01:01:55.000 Beto O'Rourke in the 2018 midterm lost to Ted Cruz by like 200,000 votes.

01:02:03.000 And then I think around in this 2020 election, I think it was somewhere around a ballpark of $100,000 to $150,000.

01:02:12.000 But it wasn't the shift that I thought it was going to be.

01:02:16.000 That it was going to be even much closer than that.

01:02:19.000 But it's, you know.

01:02:21.000 Anything is possible.

01:02:23.000 Texas is probably going to do something that's going to alienate all the libs and they're going to leave like they did in Georgia. 1.00

01:02:30.000 Think about this, though.

01:02:31.000 I mean, the Republican Party today is very different from where it was four years ago and four years before that.

01:02:35.000 It's being pulled to the left.

01:02:36.000 So for all we know, the Democrats of this year will be Republicans in 2022.

01:02:42.000 And then Texas will stay red and everyone will be like, oh, look, it's red, but it's actually pretty far left.

01:02:47.000 Yeah, I mean, the thing is about, yeah, and that's the thing about how progressives view the Democratic Party in general, in that they are very much the party, they're very much like the Republican Party of like the George W. Bush years.

01:03:00.000 Yeah, to me it's also really going to depend on the immigration, especially the immigration that Joe Biden is letting in, and that's going to have a huge tremendous effect that of course will support a lot of Democrats, and also what's happening on the campuses.

01:03:13.000 I mean, we have to understand there's a new kind of youth coming out Directly from universities and they're inspired.

01:03:20.000 They're individuals that are taught a certain way of thinking that is becoming prevalent, that is supported by the corporations, that is supported by Hollywood, that is supported by Silicon Valley, that is kind of eroding any form of the old kind of fashion way of living.

01:03:35.000 I just realized why it's so important to stand up and speak your mind and be honest.

01:03:39.000 It's not to change your minds, it's the kids!

01:03:42.000 The young 14 and 13, the impressionable people that are forming their belief of what the world is.

01:03:47.000 It's affecting them, like, massively.

01:03:48.000 Well, that's why it's important to build culture.

01:03:50.000 That's why it's important to do fun things that inspire young people.

01:03:55.000 And one of the problems, I guess, with, like, talk radio is it's for people who are already in the know.

01:04:00.000 It's not- But then you get YouTube shows where 13-year-olds log on.

01:04:02.000 That's why it's awesome.

01:04:04.000 Nah, it's not- Because they can watch, and it's funny, and you wear a beanie.

01:04:06.000 But they, for the most part, don't watch political commentary.

01:04:09.000 They don't.

01:04:09.000 But this show's different, you know?

01:04:10.000 They're on TikTok.

01:04:11.000 Yeah, they're on TikTok.

01:04:12.000 They're on TikTok, yeah.

01:04:13.000 Now, surprisingly, I have a bunch of videos on TikTok I didn't put there.

01:04:16.000 And, you know, I apparently get, like, millions of views.

01:04:19.000 Epic.

01:04:19.000 Yeah.

01:04:19.000 Look, I am a nobody.

01:04:21.000 I mean, I, but I have young people reach out to me all the time, which is crazy thinking that I'm like some sort of like influence in their life.

01:04:28.000 And that means a lot.

01:04:29.000 Because they say you are you are?

01:04:31.000 Yeah, no, it's and I mean, you'd start to think about like, what kind of impact you actually are having on certain people.

01:04:38.000 And it's tremendous.

01:04:39.000 The Chinese kind of implications here when it comes to TikTok and also our campuses and university is also something that I think is really prevalent that we should be talking about because according to Campus Reform, they just released an article according to their source who allegedly works in ICE.

01:04:56.000 It was that Joe Biden, our president, just recently quietly ended a Trump policy where universities had to publicly release their ties to the Chinese government and to specifically the Chinese Confucius institutions.

01:05:09.000 And now, under this alleged new directive, according to campus reform, they no longer have to do that.

01:05:15.000 It's opening the door for Chinese propaganda. 0.96

01:05:16.000 Yes.

01:05:17.000 And when you look at the influence that the Chinese government has been expanding all over the world, and particularly in our institutions, it really makes you wonder, especially when you see the result of a, quote, university education on the young children that are coming out and their behavior in the world, which is, I would say, somewhat fairly, you know, not to be too hyperbolic, but essentially destructive to our way of life. 0.99

01:05:42.000 Well, I want to expand on this, but I want to start with this next story we have.

01:05:45.000 Check this out.

01:05:46.000 From CBS8, researchers say voters are leaving the Republican Party.

01:05:51.000 Recent studies show the Republican Party is losing voters after the riots on Capitol Hill last month.

01:05:57.000 They say voting experts at the University of Florida say thousands of voters are no longer registered with the GOP.

01:06:02.000 They say far more Republicans than Democrats are changing their registration.

01:06:06.000 And it's happening here in San Diego County, too.

01:06:08.000 The insurrection at the U.S.

01:06:09.000 Capitol on January 6th is something most people thought they'd never witness.

01:06:12.000 Now, political research says the fallout from that day shows thousands of registered voters

01:06:16.000 fleeing the Republican Party.

01:06:18.000 Quote, these Republicans are rejecting Trumpism, a brand that they see continue to lead the

01:06:23.000 party even after his defeat.

01:06:25.000 And California Secretary of State's office shows over 33,000 voters have left the GOP

01:06:30.000 since the riot at the Capitol.

01:06:31.000 In San Diego County, more than 4,700 Republicans have defected.

01:06:36.000 Now, I want to ask a question.

01:06:39.000 How do they know these people are leaving because of the riots?

01:06:41.000 That's what I was just about to say.

01:06:43.000 Maybe they're leaving because Trump's out and they don't care about the Republican Party.

01:06:47.000 I think it's more the fact that the establishment has taken over the Republican Party and they did not do everything they possibly could to keep Trump in office.

01:06:57.000 Well, I think it's the other way around.

01:06:58.000 I think Trump infected the establishment.

01:07:01.000 He forced his way in.

01:07:03.000 And then as soon as they had the opportunity to get rid of him, they did.

01:07:06.000 Right.

01:07:06.000 No, they definitely did.

01:07:07.000 I'm totally with you on that.

01:07:08.000 Yeah.

01:07:09.000 But I'm saying that one of the reasons and I've talked to a number of Trump supporters who are, you know, on the FGOP bandwagon, they believe that the Republican Party didn't do enough to keep Trump in office believing Obviously that the election was stolen, and that when it comes to how the GOP is now, they sort of embraced it.

01:07:35.000 They embraced letting Trump be expelled from office and didn't do enough to fight for it.

01:07:41.000 What do Republicans do?

01:07:43.000 What do they fight for?

01:07:44.000 Is there like a specific issue Republicans are like, this is our issue?

01:07:47.000 The one thing that sort of unites them all together?

01:07:50.000 Limited government.

01:07:51.000 What does that mean?

01:07:53.000 And when do they vote for it?

01:07:54.000 Hey, that's a great question because I'm looking, you know, I'm thinking of that weekend video, you know, from the Super Bowl halftime show, where all the limited government Republicans are.

01:08:04.000 One thing we talk about quite a bit is that you can name very specific things that progressives and Democrats say they must have.

01:08:10.000 Right.

01:08:10.000 A path to naturalization, you know, public option or universal health care, gun control.

01:08:15.000 You know what they're saying we must have now.

01:08:19.000 And the Republicans are saying, don't do that.

01:08:21.000 Don't do that.

01:08:21.000 But they're not doing anything themselves.

01:08:23.000 Right.

01:08:23.000 No, they've always been the party.

01:08:24.000 I've mostly been the party of no.

01:08:26.000 Of hold your horses.

01:08:27.000 Yeah.

01:08:28.000 Not even no.

01:08:29.000 Just slowly.

01:08:31.000 What does the term conservative really mean?

01:08:33.000 Is someone who has always sort of just played it safe, not doing anything drastic.

01:08:39.000 Trying to keep with tradition.

01:08:40.000 That's largely what conservatives have always been about and they're getting arms Manufacturing deals well bribes whatever you want to call them funding and oil the oil industry is behind them So they would don't want it to change they want to write in you like gravy train It means a lot everything comes down to money I wonder how this is going to impact the future, because before this segment we were talking about propaganda, universities, affecting our kids.

01:09:04.000 Trump brought in new voters.

01:09:06.000 He brought in a lot of younger voters, too.

01:09:08.000 I went to a bunch of Trump rallies and I talked to young men who were like 20, and they said political correctness was the issue why they decided to vote Republican.

01:09:15.000 Not much else.

01:09:16.000 Trump was actually fighting for specific things, sort of.

01:09:19.000 He represented certain things.

01:09:21.000 He was fighting to end these free trade agreements, to bolster American manufacturing.

01:09:24.000 That was something finally people saw and they agreed with, whereas the Republicans were basically like, just not the Democrat, right?

01:09:31.000 Now we have this wave, you know, young people.

01:09:33.000 Every year, there is a wave of, you know, generation of young people who are now eligible to vote.

01:09:39.000 These people, these young people are now entering the ranks of American voters with a crippled GOP that people are leaving and don't care for anymore.

01:09:48.000 So if they are conservative or at least not far left, where do they go?

01:09:53.000 Do we ultimately see the rise of a new political party or several or what?

01:09:56.000 Here's the thing, when it comes to people actually entering the voting booth, most people think about what their vote actually means.

01:10:04.000 Like, is it actually going to be counted in a way that it matters?

01:10:09.000 And when they think about the dichotomy, the two-party system, Republican, Democrat, they realize that they can't always just throw away their ballot.

01:10:18.000 I think most people, when they enter the voting booth, think they're gonna vote for someone that If they hate the other party, they're going to vote for the party that's in opposition.

01:10:28.000 That is probably the most simplest explanation I can give because they may hate that particular party that they're voting for, but they'll do it to try to stave whatever may happen, whatever may change from the other party taking over.

01:10:42.000 I would ask, please don't vote with hate in the future.

01:10:46.000 Vote for, not against.

01:10:47.000 No, you just vote for the lesser of two evils.

01:10:49.000 I mean, that's what the media tells us to do.

01:10:51.000 That's clearly what we should do.

01:10:52.000 Also, another thing to kind of think about with this news article, a lot of these polls are usually very, very wrong.

01:10:58.000 And two, usually the conservatives are very underrepresented in them.

01:11:05.000 So the polling industry is an industry that I absolutely do not trust at all.

01:11:09.000 Well, but this is not polling.

01:11:10.000 This is the actual hard numbers from the Secretary of State's office tracking party membership.

01:11:14.000 Well yeah, but even when it comes to that, we have to understand Republicans and Conservatives usually are the types not to be very public about who they support or why they support, and a lot of times they surprise people at the polls because they actually vote, but they don't tell anyone who they voted for.

01:11:31.000 That's why a lot of the exit polls, a lot of the other polls were wrong, and even though they might be transferring parties right now, it still doesn't directly represent Yeah, it still doesn't.

01:11:39.000 I mean, I think they're just disenfranchised.

01:11:41.000 Disenfranchised not just by Trump, not just by the Republicans, but how can you not be disenfranchised with Joe Biden?

01:11:47.000 I mean, if you're not, maybe if you're not paying attention and if you're in la-la land, which a lot of people are, but if you're paying attention, you are absolutely disenfranchised with Joe Biden.

01:11:56.000 I mean, Biden is remarkably doing things that everybody hates.

01:11:59.000 He rescinds this rule on Chinese propaganda.

01:12:02.000 He suspended the rule on Chinese propaganda.

01:12:04.000 He suspended a rule keeping China out of our electrical grid.

01:12:08.000 And like, why?

01:12:09.000 So that's got conservatives pissed off.

01:12:11.000 But the left is saying he promised $2,000 checks.

01:12:14.000 He promised $15 minimum wage.

01:12:15.000 He's not doing any of those things either.

01:12:17.000 So he's basically building a coalition against him.

01:12:19.000 He banned the term China virus because he wanted to fight COVID racism.

01:12:24.000 He banned language?

01:12:26.000 As he's making sure Americans to get into the United States have to get a COVID test.

01:12:31.000 But if you're a migrant, you don't even get COVID tested when you cross the U.S. 0.58

01:12:34.000 border.

01:12:35.000 But American citizens returning back to their country, you have to have a COVID test. 0.99

01:12:38.000 What if these people coming in, these migrants, have COVID? 1.00

01:12:41.000 Yes.

01:12:42.000 Yeah, that's the point.

01:12:43.000 That's the point that Tucker Carlson was talking about yesterday in his first segment, which is something that I think shows you who Biden is really interested in.

01:12:52.000 This disenfranchising of conservative voters is worrisome, because you've got a bunch of people now feeling like there's no outlet, and they're hearing things like what Luke is saying.

01:13:00.000 You mean if I fly in, I gotta get a test?

01:13:02.000 But these people can just walk across a border and No problem, and Joe Biden is creating a pathway for these people, but making it harder for Americans.

01:13:10.000 That's going to make people lose it.

01:13:12.000 It really does feel like the joke, you know, this is the joke we've been making.

01:13:15.000 They keep throwing more at us just to see how far we're willing to take it.

01:13:19.000 I don't know, I'm a little skeptical about that type of story, because you might hear it happen at one particular checkpoint, but it might be the exception, not the rule.

01:13:29.000 Because I mean, think about all these detention centers that are housing a lot of these migrants. 0.99

01:13:33.000 I mean, we talked, obviously we talked about like the child separation policy in 2018, which is awful policy.

01:13:39.000 We should pull the story up.

01:13:40.000 It's on the Daily Mail.

01:13:41.000 They also covered it and they released a story about how migrants are not being tested.

01:13:46.000 But American citizens who are coming back have to have a negative test in order to enter the country. 1.00

01:13:52.000 I mean, just think about, I mean, because a lot of these detention centers are controlled by HHS.

01:13:56.000 Well now they're not detention centers, they're expansion centers.

01:14:00.000 So we have to figure out, are those overflow centers controlled by HHS or by DHS?

01:14:03.000 using now in the Biden administration.

01:14:04.000 What does that even mean?

01:14:05.000 Overflow.

01:14:06.000 They're overflow centers.

01:14:07.000 Overflow centers.

01:14:08.000 Okay.

01:14:09.000 They're overflow centers.

01:14:10.000 And so we have to figure out, are those overflow centers controlled by HHS or by DHS?

01:14:14.000 Because those two federal agencies basically control the flow of people into the United

01:14:21.000 States, and a lot of the detention facilities that we saw that we thought were controlled

01:14:27.000 by DHS are actually controlled by HHS.

01:14:30.000 It's Health and Human Services?

01:14:31.000 Yes.

01:14:32.000 So that's the federal agency that's been trying to control the flow of people into the United

01:14:37.000 Do all the COVID, Operation Warp Speed, vaccine.

01:14:42.000 Basically, the federal government's response to all this has basically been controlled by HHS.

01:14:48.000 Sorry.

01:14:49.000 Sorry, that was a very wonky one.

01:14:50.000 No, no, I could keep going.

01:14:51.000 I was just wondering if you found the article.

01:14:52.000 The DHS Department of Health.

01:14:53.000 Well, I found the article talking about Tucker Carlson blasting Biden for releasing thousands of migrants into the U.S.

01:14:58.000 without giving them COVID tests, as Texas Sheriff says the policy will create irreparable harm.

01:15:02.000 I mean, that's the gist of it.

01:15:06.000 That's it.

01:15:06.000 That needs investigation.

01:15:09.000 That sounds too crazy to be real.

01:15:11.000 But again, we live in a crazy world.

01:15:16.000 These people who are leaving the Republican Party probably were barely in the Republican Party.

01:15:20.000 When I was in Florida, there was a Trump rally in Fort Lauderdale, and I was just talking to some random Trump supporters.

01:15:27.000 I talked to not one Republican.

01:15:30.000 I was just going to say that Trump is not a Republican.

01:15:32.000 He's not a conservative.

01:15:33.000 of a dozen and they all basically said the same thing.

01:15:35.000 Oh, I'm not in any party or anything like that.

01:15:38.000 Oh, I've never voted before.

01:15:39.000 I was just going to say that Trump supporters, Trump is not a Republican.

01:15:44.000 He's not a conservative.

01:15:45.000 He ran as a Republican, but even, you know, the, the most conservative people

01:15:51.000 will tell you Trump is not a conservative.

01:15:53.000 He is a nationalist populist.

01:15:56.000 He is in many ways an opportunist.

01:15:59.000 And I think the greatest analogy I ever heard about Trump is that he's like a couch. 0.50

01:16:07.000 Whoever sits on them last, that's what's left on his brain.

01:16:11.000 Like that's what he's thinking about.

01:16:12.000 So like whoever gets in his ear, the last the last person gets in his ear, that's what is on his mind.

01:16:17.000 That's what's probably he's going to be tweeting about or well, he can't tweet anymore, but that's what he would be talking about.

01:16:23.000 He could go on Gab.

01:16:24.000 RIP in peace.

01:16:25.000 But he won't do it, Mr. President.

01:16:26.000 I think you're right that, maybe not that we need a new political party, but people want to do that.

01:16:31.000 They want to go.

01:16:32.000 We need it.

01:16:32.000 And what I think is that if we don't start it, literally, me and you, like if we don't start it, it won't happen.

01:16:38.000 I mean, that's the problem.

01:16:39.000 I'm not interested in being involved in a political party.

01:16:42.000 I don't want to be a politician.

01:16:44.000 I don't hate myself.

01:16:45.000 Right, exactly.

01:16:47.000 You have to find someone who particularly loathes themselves in order to start that.

01:16:54.000 You need, you ever see that, I love this, this is my favorite reference of late, the Futurama episode about the clone presidents?

01:17:00.000 Was it John Jackson and Jack Johnson?

01:17:02.000 I think your three cent titanium tax goes too far.

01:17:05.000 Well, I think your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough.

01:17:08.000 They're the same person.

01:17:10.000 Fry is like, they look like the same person.

01:17:12.000 And then Leela's like, it's because they are.

01:17:14.000 That's what we have.

01:17:16.000 And that's what you need.

01:17:17.000 You need somebody who has no real thoughts or opinions, and you hand them a stack of paper saying, here are the things you have to say.

01:17:22.000 And they go, okay.

01:17:23.000 Could you build a system where that it totally satiates the military-industrial complex and everybody involved, but somehow creates a system that will evolve us out of it?

01:17:23.000 And they get votes.

01:17:34.000 I don't know.

01:17:35.000 Green Party.

01:17:37.000 So, like, with energy?

01:17:39.000 Would it be like an electrical revolution?

01:17:40.000 No, I'm saying the actual Green Party.

01:17:43.000 Maybe.

01:17:43.000 I don't know.

01:17:44.000 They seem to be the only party saying that we don't need a military-industrial complex.

01:17:48.000 But I guess the Libertarian Party might be on the same wavelength.

01:17:52.000 Yeah, but we've all seen the meme with the scraggly-looking fox.

01:17:56.000 You think you'd have a better chance starting a new party or co-opting like the Green Party?

01:18:00.000 This is why Trump was actually part of the Reform Party when in 2000 he left it because they were too extreme and then he joined the GOP later on after being a Democrat for so long because He knew, he figured out a way to speak towards a lot of different people from all different parts of the, then we're talking about political spectrum because obviously the political spectrum doesn't exist anymore, but people all across the spectrum and find something that resonates with them and it is literally as simple as

01:18:37.000 These people are out to get you.

01:18:40.000 I'm in the way.

01:18:41.000 That's why they hate me.

01:18:43.000 Oh.

01:18:44.000 And that was sort of he was a knock against the entire establishment, both Democrat and Republican, because he was just not part of it.

01:18:53.000 He was the outsider.

01:18:56.000 He was the billionaire outsider who came in like a wrecking ball, Miley Cyrus style, basically saying, I am going to change the entire system.

01:19:06.000 And then what ended up happening was he, because he was basically laughed out of the prime, well, he wasn't laughed out of the primary, but people, you know, did not take his candidacy seriously from the get go because of whatever rhetoric he said, you know, starting from his very first political rally.

01:19:26.000 He couldn't hire the right advisors.

01:19:28.000 And he ended up getting people like Carter Page and George Papadopoulos who didn't really know what they were doing.

01:19:32.000 And then they get wrapped up in this whole like Russia probe.

01:19:35.000 But then he couldn't fill his actual cabinet with people who actually believed in him.

01:19:40.000 They were just opportunists trying to basically get a job.

01:19:43.000 Or a pardon for someone they knew.

01:19:45.000 Or a pardon for someone they knew.

01:19:47.000 But there were just as many opportunists that surrounded President Trump than President Trump himself.

01:19:54.000 It's just...

01:19:54.000 I mean, so everybody was working against him.

01:19:57.000 I was reading something earlier that when he was trying to draft his executive orders initially, the OLC was just basically not doing their job.

01:20:05.000 Office of Legal Counsel.

01:20:06.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:06.000 They were supposed to be saying, OK, here's how you can make your executive order work.

01:20:10.000 And they would purposefully leave holes so that it could be destroyed in the courts.

01:20:14.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:20:18.000 There was incentive to make sure that Trump failed within the Republican Party because they realized that he was the Republican Party when he was president.

01:20:32.000 Everything was about him.

01:20:34.000 He was the center of the universe.

01:20:36.000 And establishment Republicans were on on the outside.

01:20:40.000 And they realized that if if actually Democrats took a lesson from from from Republicans in 2016, when Bernie was winning all those states in the early primaries, he won what he won, he won Iowa still hasn't been decided.

01:20:55.000 He won New Hampshire, and then he won Nevada.

01:21:00.000 Was there a third state in there before?

01:21:02.000 I don't know.

01:21:03.000 But anyways, he had enough delegates as if he won Iowa.

01:21:06.000 And then South Carolina came up.

01:21:08.000 What happened right before Super Tuesday?

01:21:10.000 So Joe Biden predictably won South Carolina.

01:21:13.000 But then the establishment decided they were not going to let an insurgency from Bernie Sanders happen.

01:21:19.000 So they all coalesced behind Joe Biden.

01:21:22.000 You had Amy Klobuchar, Michael Bloomberg.

01:21:24.000 Pete Buttigieg all dropping out in the span of like two days and endorsing Joe Biden.

01:21:29.000 What happened on Tuesday, Super Tuesday? He won almost, I think all but two states.

01:21:36.000 And that was it. Bernie- Because the other candidates were splitting the vote.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:21:42.000 But they realized that this is what happened.

01:21:44.000 This was the folly of the Republican Party, the Republican establishment, I should say, in 2016 is that they thought, you know, you had the Marco Rubio, you had the Ted Cruz, you had John Kasich, you had Scott Walker, all of them thought they could take on Trump.

01:22:00.000 And he just picked them off one by one.

01:22:02.000 If they all coalesce behind a particular establishment candidate, they probably would not have nominated Donald Trump.

01:22:08.000 Plus, Trump was fun.

01:22:10.000 It was very fun.

01:22:11.000 Watching him make fun of Jab and turn people into memes.

01:22:13.000 Yeah, calling Ram Paul ugly.

01:22:17.000 Well, even Elizabeth Warren wasn't with Bernie.

01:22:20.000 She was still sticking around and everyone was like, hey, Elizabeth, you're kind of hurting Bernie here with all of this.

01:22:26.000 That was the plan.

01:22:29.000 And it's amazing how people believe Elizabeth Warren was like progressive.

01:22:32.000 What did I say?

01:22:33.000 She's Hillary Clinton wearing a Bernie Sanders mask. 0.98

01:22:34.000 She's the only one that actually even said something about social media and the big tech oligarchs.

01:22:39.000 And then she stopped.

01:22:41.000 She came out in defense of Wall Street during the GameStop rebellion.

01:22:44.000 When they were challenging the hedge fund, she's like, who are these people?

01:22:46.000 What are they doing?

01:22:48.000 Great progressive Elizabeth Warren, defender of Wall Street.

01:22:48.000 Oh, yeah.

01:22:51.000 Yeah, no, Elizabeth Warren, she has gotten quite a bit of flack from the Bernie crowd for her role in sort of undermining Bernie's candidacy. 1.00

01:23:02.000 But if you also remember, even from the beginning primaries, they were screwing Bernie over.

01:23:06.000 There was no declared winner during the first primary in Iowa.

01:23:10.000 And who got it, Buttigieg?

01:23:12.000 Uh, but again, it was so close.

01:23:14.000 And because it was close, they did just very similar things.

01:23:16.000 They postponed it until the next primary, until more news came in.

01:23:21.000 Because again, the person who wins the first primaries always gets the big bump, always gets a big push.

01:23:26.000 And it was very close for Bernie getting it.

01:23:28.000 And then they kind of scooched the poop. 1.00

01:23:30.000 Now again, not a fan of Bernie.

01:23:33.000 I really don't like his policies.

01:23:34.000 I think he really, really hurt a lot of his supporters, especially with how Hillary treated him and how he endorsed Hillary, how he played the game.

01:23:42.000 But still, it's important to call out that he still represents sort of a populist idea that does have some merit, that does have some credibility, and it resonates with a lot of people.

01:23:51.000 And that's what connects Trump, that's what connects Bernie, these larger populist ideas.

01:23:55.000 Of course he gave up, and I would say Trump gave up as well.

01:23:59.000 Yeah.

01:23:59.000 uh... you can make both arguments both of them gave up on on the people on

01:24:01.000 their larger kind of at the heart of this energy that's not what i'm behind

01:24:05.000 the truck fought for years and it was only at the very end when he realized it was 0.86

01:24:09.000 over a bit of a legal testicles also forbs or dead when you're when you're coming 0.73

01:24:12.000 from that perspective it's very easy to manipulate someone when they care so much 0.99

01:24:15.000 about how they look

01:24:16.000 i'll talk i'll tell you what it was because we have to stop it all time

01:24:19.000 it was the populist leading bernie sanders politician to the gates of the

01:24:22.000 ivory tower and bernie banner the ones i love him And then Donald Trump was a bull, just like stomping about, and then when Bernie Sanders kept banging on the door, they just dumped buckets on his head, and they were like, Bernie, we'll let you in if you stop banging on the door.

01:24:36.000 And he was like, all right, let me in and I'll stop fighting you.

01:24:38.000 And then the bull just smashed through the doors, running around, smashing everything up.

01:24:42.000 So when I saw Trump go in, I was like, well, look, the worst case scenario for the left is that Trump fumbles around for another four years, but it cripples the establishment and opens the door for a real insurgent leftist candidate.

01:24:55.000 But they couldn't do it.

01:24:56.000 I was like, as soon as you let in Joe Biden, they will fortify their defenses and you will never, never break their system ever again.

01:25:03.000 They did it literally in DC.

01:25:05.000 They're fortifying the Capitol with military.

01:25:08.000 Yeah, they're still there.

01:25:09.000 The National Guard isn't supposed to leave until like end of March.

01:25:13.000 Well, until the end of the impeachment trials that are happening right now.

01:25:16.000 I remember listening to NPR as I was driving today.

01:25:20.000 They were treating it like it was their Super Bowl.

01:25:22.000 They loved every moment.

01:25:23.000 They're calling it shot by shot.

01:25:25.000 This is the same network, by the way, that was calling on CIA officials to explain to them how counterinsurgency should work against domestic wrong thinkers aka other Trump supporters and they were arguing that you know the CIA guy was like we need to take down Trump and and and you see NPR with their coverage today hinting at that trying to push for that trying to spin as much information as they could

01:25:48.000 Just to push that larger perspective, which is kind of crazy.

01:25:51.000 We haven't really talked about impeachment in this show.

01:25:57.000 I'm sure you've talked about it tirelessly before, but obviously this is just an attempt to make sure that he never becomes a threat again.

01:26:03.000 The argument Trump's legal team is making is that impeachment is to remove I see.

01:26:11.000 prevent from holding office again both not one it doesn't say and or and so

01:26:15.000 that's their legal argument even if they do convict him he can still run again

01:26:19.000 and nothing will stop him it won't are you sure so there's there's the argument

01:26:24.000 that if he's convicted he he can't run again but the Trump's legal team is

01:26:29.000 making the argument that it has to remove him and as a private citizen I

01:26:32.000 have no authority to say he can't run again so you can't get to be without a

01:26:37.000 yeah so that's their argument So here's what I predict will happen.

01:26:41.000 Doesn't it say somewhere in criminal statute that anyone who destroys public record can't hold office?

01:26:48.000 There was, like, a big thing about that.

01:26:49.000 Are you talking about, like, the White House logs or something like that?

01:26:54.000 There's, like, some law pertaining to the destruction of public documents.

01:26:58.000 Oh, you're talking about this Twitter.

01:27:00.000 You mean, like, if the Secretary of State were to, like, destroy their emails or something?

01:27:00.000 No, no, no, no.

01:27:04.000 Like, yes, exactly.

01:27:05.000 Like, if the Secretary of State deleted 30,000 public... Or someone else destroyed the Secretary of State's... Technically, the Secretary of State has never been found to have done it, I guess is the point.

01:27:14.000 When the email thing was happening, a lot of people were saying... Hillary Clinton.

01:27:18.000 She told this company to wipe these servers, destroying public emails. 0.99

01:27:23.000 Emails that should have been released to the public due to her role in Secretary of State.

01:27:29.000 And thus, she would be disqualified from holding office.

01:27:31.000 Nobody cared.

01:27:32.000 The system doesn't work.

01:27:34.000 It doesn't work that way.

01:27:36.000 You know, you could have somebody literally break the law and come on.

01:27:39.000 How many politicians actually go to jail for the crimes they commit?

01:27:42.000 How many times have we heard stories about insider trading or other corrupt activities and it's like, oh well, screw the rug.

01:27:47.000 What about the senator who was accused of flying to another country to be with underage hookers and the legal argument was, well, it wasn't illegal in that country and the U.S.

01:27:57.000 has no jurisdiction anyway?

01:27:58.000 Now, I'm not saying that it was definitively proven.

01:28:00.000 He wasn't on the platform, yeah.

01:28:02.000 But it's like, this guy got re-elected.

01:28:04.000 People in this country don't care.

01:28:05.000 Who are you talking about? 0.98

01:28:06.000 Who went, who that, who that hooker was overseas? 1.00

01:28:09.000 John F. Kennedy?

01:28:10.000 No, there is a sitting U.S.

01:28:12.000 Senator who was accused of being with underage women of the night in another country.

01:28:19.000 Do you remember which country it was?

01:28:21.000 I don't remember what it was.

01:28:22.000 I want to say Columbia?

01:28:23.000 Was it Bahamas or something?

01:28:25.000 But it's legal there, so they didn't make a big deal about it.

01:28:26.000 Well, that was one of the legal arguments, apparently, that this never happened, but even if it did, it's not illegal there and you have no jurisdiction to confront him over it.

01:28:34.000 It was Bob Menendez of New Jersey.

01:28:36.000 Oh, that's right.

01:28:37.000 It was Bob Menendez.

01:28:38.000 I forgot about that.

01:28:39.000 I want to make it clear, it was never definitively proven they were accusations.

01:28:43.000 But the idea, like, nobody cares.

01:28:46.000 You could literally, there are so many people who have, look, there are some people who have been, you know, charged with crimes and they resign.

01:28:52.000 Dominican Republic.

01:28:52.000 Dominican Republic, there you go.

01:28:54.000 So my understanding is it was never proven, it was just accusations or whatever.

01:28:57.000 Yeah.

01:28:58.000 But the story is weird, like, these women said, like, it happened, and then all of a sudden they, like, recanted their story in a very strange circumstance, or something like that.

01:29:06.000 I've got mixed feelings on the law and executing the law.

01:29:09.000 I'm kind of chaotic.

01:29:11.000 I don't want to support bad laws, so I'm reticent to get the law, get the police involved, get the law.

01:29:17.000 I feel like we can work it out as humans without invoking the law.

01:29:20.000 Think about the Civil Rights Movement.

01:29:21.000 That was a movement built around trying to change bad laws.

01:29:27.000 I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:29:28.000 I think it's a noble... I think the works of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Freedom Riders, they were able to actually enact change through peaceful protest.

01:29:41.000 Of course, there were some obviously who probably...

01:29:44.000 Didn't think that was the the mode to go down.

01:29:47.000 But I mean, the the thing is, you're always going to have laws that are not good.

01:29:54.000 Which makes me reticent to use the law to prosecute all these people.

01:29:54.000 Exactly.

01:29:58.000 Like Tim's saying, no one really cares that people commit commit crimes.

01:30:02.000 But because they're in positions of power, they're not executed, not executed.

01:30:05.000 But the laws, the laws, the punishment is not executed.

01:30:08.000 Funny, funny.

01:30:08.000 And that's and that's the the problem with like what late stage capitalism and the come on.

01:30:14.000 Laws are for poor people. 0.99

01:30:15.000 And I kind of understand, I don't want to use law to destroy someone.

01:30:20.000 It just makes me feel bad.

01:30:22.000 But it's there for a reason.

01:30:24.000 And the reason our society has survived as long as it has is because we adhere to our laws, our self-agreed upon laws.

01:30:30.000 We're at the point now where it's just like a given that rich people can do what they want.

01:30:33.000 You just buy your way out of jail.

01:30:34.000 At least bail.

01:30:35.000 It's not even that.

01:30:36.000 It's like when rich people do get convicted of crimes, it's usually a fine.

01:30:39.000 They're like, you gotta pay $10 million.

01:30:40.000 IBM will do some horrible thing and they gotta pay $100 million.

01:30:43.000 And it's like, they made $3.6 billion last year.

01:30:46.000 My favorite ever sketch from Dave Chappelle was when he switched the roles of like a Wall Street banker being treated like a drug dealer through the criminal justice system.

01:30:57.000 The drug dealer, i.e.

01:30:58.000 Dave Chappelle, being treated like he was a Wall Street banker or white-collar criminal.

01:31:03.000 And it was just like...

01:31:04.000 You know, basically, and my favorite bit was the judge sentencing that Wall Street banker to, you know, life in prison.

01:31:12.000 You'll have plenty of time to lift weights and convert to Islam. 0.98

01:31:17.000 Dave Chappelle is a genius, man.

01:31:21.000 But, you know, look, there's a really interesting idea.

01:31:24.000 Some countries will give people speeding tickets based on their income.

01:31:27.000 It's a percentage and not... Right, Germany does that.

01:31:30.000 That's an interesting concept.

01:31:31.000 Because if you make a million dollars a year, you're like, I don't want to speed and pay $100,000 fine.

01:31:34.000 Or you know, it wouldn't be that high, but it'd be like 10 grand or something.

01:31:37.000 And then if you're poor, it's going to be like three or four bucks.

01:31:39.000 Something small, because it has to impact you.

01:31:41.000 In the US, let me tell you something fascinating.

01:31:43.000 Or I'll give you Chicago, for example.

01:31:45.000 I used to live in Lakeview, right by Wrigley Field.

01:31:47.000 Love that area.

01:31:48.000 And whenever there would be a Cubs game, Every street would be cars parked wrapping around in every possible space blocking driveways.

01:31:57.000 They did not care.

01:31:58.000 The idea was, you can't find parking in Lakeview for a Cubs game, and it's cheaper to pay $100 for a ticket than it is to find a valet or to find a parking garage.

01:32:08.000 The ticket you got from the cops was just the ticket for parking.

01:32:12.000 So it was like, they factored in their budget.

01:32:15.000 They didn't care.

01:32:16.000 They wouldn't tow?

01:32:18.000 Mostly no, because there was too many cars.

01:32:21.000 Civil disobedience, man.

01:32:24.000 That's the system now.

01:32:25.000 It's like when everyone speeds, you can't pull everybody over, they might single somebody out.

01:32:28.000 But people will come out and they'll see tickets everywhere and they'll be like, that's the cost of parking.

01:32:31.000 It's the American spirit.

01:32:32.000 Like if I was gonna park in a garage, it'd be 50 bucks.

01:32:34.000 Screw it, I'll pay 75.

01:32:35.000 I told you... Park wherever I want.

01:32:37.000 You know, that's why Chicago's the lawless place it is, because people won't pay for parking. 0.96

01:32:43.000 Chicago's crooked, man. 0.90

01:32:44.000 It's bad. 0.98

01:32:46.000 I've been to a lot of cities in the United States, and I've been to a lot of places in the world, and Chicago is corrupt.

01:32:51.000 They call it the Windy City because of the politicians' blue hot air.

01:32:54.000 Exactly.

01:32:55.000 It's all corruption and all lies.

01:32:56.000 I wonder why Chicago of all places... You know what's really funny?

01:32:59.000 I once got into an argument with someone about Chicago being the Windy City, and they were arguing with me that it was literally windy in my home.

01:33:04.000 Which it is.

01:33:05.000 Not really.

01:33:07.000 It's the wind tunnels between buildings.

01:33:10.000 Yeah, kind of.

01:33:11.000 New York has those too.

01:33:12.000 It's just not really that windy.

01:33:13.000 As windy as New York.

01:33:15.000 Which is negligibly windy relative to most cities.

01:33:17.000 And so they're like, it's the windiest city because it's windy.

01:33:19.000 I'm like, no it isn't. 0.99

01:33:20.000 Because all the politicians are corrupt.

01:33:21.000 The last three governors went to prison.

01:33:23.000 It's for real.

01:33:25.000 And then they're like, no, it's because I'm like, don't even argue with me, man. 0.75

01:33:28.000 This city is so corrupt.

01:33:29.000 We had one incident where a meter maid gave a cop a parking ticket, so he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her up against the side of a building and screamed in her face.

01:33:36.000 There were a bunch of off-duty cops who went to a bar and brutally, just mercilessly beat the bartender woman because she was telling them they had too many drinks.

01:33:43.000 And they say chivalry is dead.

01:33:46.000 Chicago's got problems.

01:33:47.000 It's like cold, so people are angry.

01:33:50.000 It's not New York, so it's not as centralized.

01:33:52.000 You know, it's kind of the Wild West.

01:33:54.000 It is, it is.

01:33:55.000 You got gangs running around and the cops are like ruthless because of the gangs.

01:33:59.000 And I can understand why the cops are so, you know, like just having nothing to do with it.

01:34:04.000 But then you can't oppress someone's rights because you're mad the gangs are overrunning certain parts of the city and you got a bad beat.

01:34:09.000 It just it just becomes a dirty city man.

01:34:12.000 It's a great time Chicago.

01:34:13.000 I live there for like four years You know Chicago still has dry areas like neighborhoods no, I can't have alcohol from prohibition.

01:34:25.000 Yeah, that's crazy where Uh, I don't know exactly, but I remember when I lived near, um, Wicker Park.

01:34:30.000 There's one area not too far from there where there's no bars at all.

01:34:33.000 Oh my god, that was nothing like my Chicago experience.

01:34:36.000 No, Wicker Park has a ton of bars.

01:34:38.000 But like, maybe like a mile west, there was this area, it's like, I don't know what the name of it was, but there were no bars.

01:34:44.000 And so everybody would go to this one bar just outside of this area.

01:34:47.000 Snake Room?

01:34:48.000 What was it called?

01:34:48.000 Snake Pit?

01:34:49.000 Did you ever go to Snake Pit?

01:34:50.000 No, there's more than one.

01:34:51.000 There's too many bars.

01:34:52.000 Yeah, Snake Pit was awesome.

01:34:53.000 But I used to go to this pizza place called Big Tony's, and we would get giardiniera pizza, and that is, oh, that is the best.

01:34:57.000 Yeah, Chicago.

01:34:58.000 Giardiniera pizza, man.

01:34:59.000 People are probably listening to this show like, giardiniera?

01:35:01.000 What is it?

01:35:01.000 What does that mean?

01:35:02.000 Giardiniera?

01:35:03.000 You've told me this before.

01:35:04.000 It's not the deep dish, is it?

01:35:05.000 No, no, no.

01:35:06.000 That's tourist pizza, man. 1.00

01:35:08.000 That's garbage. 0.99

01:35:08.000 Yeah, nobody eats that. 0.99

01:35:09.000 No, we get square cut, and giardiniera is, it's celery, carrots, jalapeno, and I think cauliflower, and it's pickled, and they put it on the pizza, and they bake it in.

01:35:20.000 Yeah, they put it on like Italian beef sandwiches.

01:35:22.000 Soak it in vinegar and salt.

01:35:24.000 Oh yeah, all that good stuff, man.

01:35:25.000 All that good stuff.

01:35:25.000 Boil the bottle so it doesn't rust.

01:35:26.000 I'll tell you one thing.

01:35:27.000 I'll tell you one thing.

01:35:28.000 Chicago may be dirty, but some of the best food you will ever eat.

01:35:31.000 Chicago.

01:35:32.000 You know, I grew up in Chicago, and I tell you, they're culturally lacking in a lot of ways.

01:35:37.000 You want to be big in music?

01:35:39.000 There's no scene.

01:35:39.000 You can't be in Chicago.

01:35:40.000 You want to be a skateboarder?

01:35:41.000 There's no scene.

01:35:42.000 You want to be in any kind of sports?

01:35:43.000 There's no scene.

01:35:45.000 But if you want to make good food, Chicago's the place.

01:35:47.000 Because we have the Taste of Chicago on the 3rd and 4th of July.

01:35:50.000 And Chicago's got food, man, for days.

01:35:54.000 What is the scene in Chicago?

01:35:55.000 Politics?

01:35:56.000 Food.

01:35:57.000 It was a lot of business, it felt like.

01:35:59.000 There's nothing.

01:36:00.000 It's a big city full of nothing.

01:36:02.000 It's like a knockoff New York City.

01:36:04.000 But like, New York actually has stuff.

01:36:04.000 It is.

01:36:07.000 Had.

01:36:08.000 I used to say Chicago is the suburb city of the major cities, where it's like, when you live in the big city, you're there, it's hip, there's clubs, you see all the celebrities.

01:36:19.000 When you got the suburbs, it's like these little smaller clubs and people are like trying to emulate what the cities are like.

01:36:24.000 Chicago is like that.

01:36:26.000 There are bands in Chicago nobody will ever heard of that are the biggest bands in the world to Chicagoans.

01:36:30.000 OK, so all right.

01:36:31.000 There's a question, I guess, for all of you then.

01:36:34.000 What city has it now?

01:36:36.000 Well, I don't know, man.

01:36:39.000 LA, probably.

01:36:40.000 It's dying, it sounds like.

01:36:40.000 I don't know.

01:36:42.000 LA.

01:36:42.000 What city?

01:36:43.000 I mean, remove COVID from it.

01:36:45.000 Remove COVID.

01:36:46.000 LA, dude.

01:36:47.000 It's hot.

01:36:48.000 Yeah.

01:36:48.000 I mean, before COVID, it was New York for sure.

01:36:48.000 It's hot.

01:36:51.000 Yeah.

01:36:51.000 So are you saying that New York had it and then COVID wrecked it all?

01:36:56.000 I think Bloomberg and Giuliani ruined it all.

01:36:59.000 And Cuomo.

01:37:00.000 Yeah.

01:37:01.000 And de Blasio just put the finisher on there.

01:37:04.000 But I'm thinking about it.

01:37:05.000 I'm thinking about outside of the United States.

01:37:07.000 I'm thinking about places like Puerto Vallarta.

01:37:09.000 I'm thinking about places like Porto.

01:37:12.000 I'm not thinking about anything in the United States.

01:37:14.000 But comparatively, if I had to choose somewhere in the United States, I would have to pick, let's just say somewhere in Florida.

01:37:20.000 Austin, maybe.

01:37:21.000 Texas.

01:37:22.000 Austin is a big kind of leftist city.

01:37:25.000 Well, they got Elon.

01:37:26.000 Because now people are flocking to Austin because of all these other places being bad, you're going to start seeing, you know, it's a big cultural hub now with a lot of people coming down there.

01:37:35.000 Denver has that too.

01:37:36.000 Is it crowded close to Austin?

01:37:38.000 I don't know.

01:37:39.000 He's in Texas.

01:37:39.000 I'm not sure.

01:37:40.000 I know that it's obviously part of the, what, Cal Exit.

01:37:44.000 A lot of them have been floating over to Denver, too.

01:37:48.000 Yeah.

01:38:08.000 So, let's see here.

01:38:08.000 I can't read the name of this person because YouTube has done this weird thing that has blocked whatever.

01:38:14.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:38:14.000 Okay.

01:38:15.000 Curtis Maver says, Tim, did you hear about the water treatment plant that got hacked in Florida on Friday?

01:38:21.000 Kind of runs into the story from 4pm.

01:38:22.000 Yeah, did you guys hear about this?

01:38:24.000 No.

01:38:25.000 Water treatment plant got hacked.

01:38:27.000 They tried poisoning the water supply.

01:38:28.000 What?

01:38:29.000 Yeah, yeah, man.

01:38:30.000 Creepy stuff.

01:38:30.000 Who tried?

01:38:31.000 I don't know.

01:38:32.000 Don't know.

01:38:32.000 Some guy got arrested, I heard.

01:38:33.000 But I haven't read into it.

01:38:34.000 Yeah. 0.88

01:38:35.000 Crazy.

01:38:35.000 Where was this again?

01:38:36.000 Wow.

01:38:36.000 Florida.

01:38:37.000 Aw, thank you.

01:38:38.000 I agree.

01:38:38.000 Hi, it's him and crew a huge fan of the work you guys do and I loved what you did in Sweden back in the

01:38:42.000 Day hold the line through an email if you ever need an insider in Scandinavia appreciate it

01:38:46.000 Pirate Tom ski says if France can stand up to this than the UK then the UK to next USA

01:38:52.000 Critical race theory woke is definitely hate speech against groups of people

01:38:56.000 Identity is key. Apparently the far left will eat itself PS Luke is awesome

01:39:00.000 You know, I'll tell you I'll tell you I agree it is it is They say they're all about diversity equity and inclusion

01:39:10.000 And that is the easiest way to debunk that is they will not include Trump supporters, right?

01:39:15.000 It's just plain and simple.

01:39:17.000 Yeah.

01:39:17.000 So who are they inclusive towards?

01:39:19.000 Not everybody.

01:39:19.000 Right.

01:39:20.000 China.

01:39:21.000 That's the definition of a cult.

01:39:23.000 It's not inclusive at all, because they literally exclude lots of people.

01:39:27.000 It's always been about ethnic, religious, or racial diversity.

01:39:32.000 So long as the mental state and line of thinking is the same. 0.94

01:39:39.000 So crazy.

01:39:40.000 It's wild.

01:39:41.000 I keep thinking about puritanism.

01:39:43.000 I wonder if it's like modern puritanism.

01:39:45.000 Rather than calling it woke, I'm just going to call it puritanic.

01:39:48.000 See if they'll stop doing it.

01:39:51.000 Yeah, no, I totally, I mean like it is in a significant way about purifying people's thoughts.

01:40:00.000 I mean, the people have entertained re-education camps here in the United States, the Truth and Reconciliation Committees, simply because... And COVID camps.

01:40:09.000 And COVID camps, simply because they want to make sure those people disengage from the wrong think.

01:40:16.000 Yep.

01:40:16.000 Purifying mind and body.

01:40:17.000 So we got, uh, Gareth Green says, Sriraj means honorable king.

01:40:22.000 Actually, it means light.

01:40:24.000 It means light in Arabic, but if you're a friend of mine and you like to rip on me, it means lamp.

01:40:33.000 Lamp.

01:40:35.000 Not like a genie lamp, like an actual house appliance lamp.

01:40:39.000 Well, he says Sriraj.

01:40:41.000 Oh, no, it's S-I-R-A-J. 1.00

01:40:43.000 No, no, but he's saying, does Sri Raj mean honorable king?

01:40:46.000 Probably.

01:40:46.000 A different word.

01:40:48.000 I mean, not... Raj.

01:40:51.000 Yeah, Raj means king.

01:40:53.000 And Sri maybe means Sri Lanka?

01:40:55.000 Is that like honorable?

01:40:57.000 Probably, probably.

01:40:58.000 Honorable land, but yeah.

01:40:59.000 Maybe, yeah.

01:41:01.000 We just made it up.

01:41:01.000 There you go.

01:41:02.000 It's true because we said it on the internet.

01:41:03.000 Just call me Lamp.

01:41:04.000 There you go, lamp.

01:41:06.000 Vexel says, Luke, is there any way you could ask YouTube to stop shadowbanning your channel?

01:41:10.000 Also, do you make your own crystal wraps or do you have a good vendor?

01:41:12.000 I was actually thinking about making my own crystals because I sell a whole bunch of stuff.

01:41:16.000 I sell like custom probiotics and VPNs, all the wild stuff.

01:41:20.000 But I'm going to get on that.

01:41:21.000 And yes, YouTube, please stop shadowbanning me.

01:41:25.000 Please bring me back into the apartment.

01:41:26.000 Whatever.

01:41:27.000 It's okay.

01:41:28.000 It's fine, but I thank you for your consideration and thanks for thinking about me.

01:41:32.000 Look, you went after Eric Schmidt, so they're laughing right now at the Google HQ.

01:41:36.000 Like, it's never gonna end!

01:41:39.000 I understand.

01:41:40.000 It's cool.

01:41:41.000 I'll just keep peddling t-shirts.

01:41:42.000 It's fine.

01:41:43.000 Do you ever grow your own crystals?

01:41:45.000 Uh, no, no, but, uh, that's something interesting that I, that we might get into.

01:41:48.000 Oh, I'm into it.

01:41:49.000 Let's do it.

01:41:50.000 All right, Emperor Geiseric says, America has gotten so proficient at destroying other countries, we don't even have to drop bombs or provide freedom fighters with weapons anymore.

01:41:58.000 Yeah, there you go, France is going down.

01:42:00.000 Gareth Green says, some kinds of feminism say that only men should wash dishes. 1.00

01:42:04.000 I would like to protest, uh, protest that religion is not a matter of blind faith or subjective emotion, by the way.

01:42:11.000 Interesting.

01:42:12.000 That was a mess.

01:42:13.000 P.O.L. says, look up where during the French Revolution they put a hooker on the altar 0.99

01:42:19.000 and said, we now worship the goddess of reason. 0.98

01:42:21.000 Chickens, come home to roost. 0.85

01:42:22.000 Did they really do that?

01:42:23.000 That was a mess.

01:42:24.000 I believe it.

01:42:25.000 Really?

01:42:27.000 Freedom Thoughts says there's a sale on French rifles.

01:42:30.000 Never fired and only dropped once.

01:42:34.000 Cheers from Missouri.

01:42:35.000 Also, Missouri just passed a bill that bans all federal gun laws.

01:42:38.000 Really?

01:42:41.000 That's crazy.

01:42:42.000 Did they do that?

01:42:43.000 Because that means you could have full auto, right?

01:42:44.000 In St.

01:42:45.000 Louis?

01:42:46.000 No, Missouri.

01:42:47.000 Missouri just passed a bill.

01:42:48.000 I wonder if that means in the city of St.

01:42:49.000 Louis.

01:42:50.000 Maybe it's like city by city now.

01:42:51.000 Well, they probably got city ordinances.

01:42:53.000 Interesting.

01:42:55.000 But does that mean that the Constitution no longer protects?

01:42:58.000 Well, the federal government will probably come in anyway, because that's what they did to California with marijuana.

01:43:02.000 So, we'll see.

01:43:05.000 GeffDaff says, got my I Am A Gorilla shirt Saturday.

01:43:08.000 I had ordered it two days before the misprint announcement, but no luck.

01:43:12.000 Got a normal one.

01:43:13.000 Still love it.

01:43:14.000 But when is the tinfoil one for members only coming?

01:43:18.000 We have to find a vendor that we can put up on the site, so... But we might put up the... It's... The tinfoil hat one was meant to just go up for about one week.

01:43:26.000 So, we'll get it soon.

01:43:28.000 I could probably just put it up, um... I don't know, maybe Thursday.

01:43:31.000 Is that the day?

01:43:31.000 Because then everyone gets paid Friday or whatever, and then you have a week.

01:43:34.000 And then we'll put it up for just over a week, then take it down like the following Monday, so everyone has a chance to get the special tinfoil hat edition.

01:43:40.000 All right, let's see.

01:43:40.000 Brandon R. says, re-French surrender jokes.

01:43:43.000 I used to agree, but listen to Dan Carlin's World War I podcast miniseries, Blueprint for Armageddon, and see why the French avoid fights.

01:43:51.000 I don't make those jokes anymore.

01:43:52.000 That's a very good podcast series.

01:43:54.000 What is it called?

01:43:55.000 I want to listen to it.

01:43:56.000 Hardcore history.

01:43:56.000 What was the episode called?

01:43:57.000 Blueprint for Armageddon.

01:43:59.000 I'm going to listen to that.

01:44:00.000 So I think it's fair to point out, I think France has one of the best war records of any European nation or country in the world for the most part.

01:44:08.000 And it's just because of World War II we mock them for surrendering.

01:44:12.000 But the French Empire was massive.

01:44:14.000 Look at Napoleon.

01:44:15.000 Napoleon surrendered too.

01:44:17.000 When you look at the way they fight in protest, I mean, I haven't seen such ferocity, such spirit in fight anywhere, to be honest with you.

01:44:25.000 Dude, look up Vercingetorix.

01:44:27.000 He fought against Julius Caesar and was one of the greatest unifiers of Francia, of Gaul at the time, and the Romans wanted to stamp that guy's name out because he was such a great... We laugh at the French, but they're fighters.

01:44:39.000 They are, they are.

01:44:39.000 Like, some of the most brutal protests you'll ever see, man.

01:44:42.000 Gareth Green says, if someone tried to plow my driveway without asking permission, I'd be angry about them, whoever

01:44:47.000 they were.

01:44:47.000 People who are nice to me against my will really make me angry.

01:44:50.000 Well, there you go.

01:44:52.000 Hunter Lacy says, been a fan for a while.

01:44:55.000 Love these daily live streams.

01:44:56.000 Would like to see some 2A related content or maybe a video of you guys at the range.

01:45:00.000 Thanks for everything your guys do.

01:45:02.000 Well, uh, maybe this Saturday when we go to the range, maybe we can film it.

01:45:06.000 Cause we filmed a little bit last time.

01:45:08.000 I just put up some Instagram videos, but maybe we'll actually film some stuff.

01:45:11.000 There's a guy that wants us to ride in tanks.

01:45:14.000 So, uh, I gotta email him back.

01:45:16.000 That would be really fun to do.

01:45:17.000 But if you guys have any, uh, fun, uh, you know, adventurous things, uh, definitely email us, let us know.

01:45:22.000 I'm down for weekend adventures.

01:45:25.000 Yeah, I think we should film at the range for real.

01:45:28.000 Eve Welcome says, Tim, I survived a cult.

01:45:30.000 The behavior of the journalist isn't cult-like, it's straight up cult.

01:45:35.000 Friendship outside the cult is forbidden.

01:45:37.000 I see it from the left and right, and it's frightening.

01:45:40.000 I definitely, but I don't know if you guys would agree, but it seems like the rights element of it are much smaller and more diminished than the left, right?

01:45:46.000 Like, the left is mainstream media, it's massive cultural institutions, and the right, it's like fringe internet communities.

01:45:52.000 You know what I mean?

01:45:54.000 That's for sure.

01:45:55.000 Seems like it anyway.

01:45:58.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:46:02.000 TheBrosDurham says, I'm still waiting on the dopamine payoff from playing Escape from Tarkov.

01:46:07.000 Oh, that game's hardcore.

01:46:10.000 What is it?

01:46:10.000 It's like FPS, but it's like super realistic and you get dropped into this area called Tarkov and you're up against other players and bots and you just fight your way to the exit.

01:46:20.000 Oh, cool.

01:46:21.000 I'm currently working on Demon's Souls, the PlayStation 5 remake.

01:46:25.000 Adam loves that game.

01:46:26.000 It's a classic, isn't it?

01:46:28.000 Yeah, they remade it.

01:46:29.000 Oh, you should get that for PS5.

01:46:30.000 I think it might be multiplayer.

01:46:32.000 I feel basic.

01:46:34.000 I like Call of Duty.

01:46:36.000 No, Call of Duty is great, too.

01:46:37.000 I like Cold War.

01:46:40.000 I play Skater XL.

01:46:42.000 You sure do.

01:46:43.000 You were dropping off the roof yesterday.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, Skater XL is fun.

01:46:46.000 It's a really good skate sim, basically.

01:46:51.000 I jumped off a building onto a handrail.

01:46:53.000 That was hilarious.

01:46:54.000 360 flip 50-50 off of like a four-story building.

01:46:57.000 All right, let's see.

01:46:59.000 VP says, how many Reza Aslan tweets has Siraj flagged?

01:47:04.000 A lot probably, right?

01:47:05.000 Reza Aslan, you know, there have been, I think the last one I did was RBG, when he was saying

01:47:13.000 that they were going to riot in the streets if they replaced RBGC or filled RBGC with

01:47:20.000 Amy Coney Barrett.

01:47:21.000 And I was like, that's...

01:47:23.000 I think I think he had the specific wording was like that he would burn the ish down.

01:47:27.000 Yes.

01:47:28.000 Yeah, that's what I got him on the list for that.

01:47:30.000 That was the last thing.

01:47:31.000 You know, what's funny is like, it's not a it's it's it's you're just responding to people like wagging your finger basically, right?

01:47:39.000 Yeah, well, I mean, I hit him with the list meme, of course.

01:47:43.000 But what I mean is like, their response should be to like, okay, okay, and laugh about it.

01:47:48.000 Oh, yeah.

01:47:48.000 No, they freak out.

01:47:50.000 There's some who handle it really well.

01:47:51.000 You know who actually really handled it really well?

01:47:53.000 Aaron Ruppert from Vox.

01:47:55.000 Oh, really?

01:47:55.000 He actually handled it really well.

01:47:57.000 What did he say?

01:47:59.000 I think he left.

01:48:00.000 Yeah, LMAO, that kind of thing.

01:48:03.000 But then he unfollowed me when I put him on the list after he was politicizing Congressman-elect Luke Letlow's death.

01:48:14.000 He died from COVID.

01:48:17.000 That's when I lost him.

01:48:19.000 You're on the list!

01:48:22.000 Also, and another guy who's on Twitter, Max Kennerly, he had a very ghoulish post about Luke Letlow's death, and it's just like, come on, guys.

01:48:32.000 It's just unnecessary, and people just tweet because they don't think beforehand, and they end up just... Beforehand?

01:48:39.000 Maybe they just don't think.

01:48:40.000 Well, yeah, they don't think at all, but it's just...

01:48:44.000 It gets to the point where I have to now, not whitewash, but like almost sanitize the list because once something is no longer unique and becomes a narrative, you can't just go after one particular person.

01:48:59.000 You have to then go after the idea.

01:49:03.000 I B Profanope says, Luke I got my Orwell shirt today.

01:49:06.000 Love it.

01:49:06.000 Thank you guys and girl for the news.

01:49:08.000 Nice.

01:49:08.000 Thanks for wearing it.

01:49:09.000 No problemo.

01:49:10.000 Jordan D says, when are you all going to do DMT and commune with interdimensional beings?

01:49:15.000 March?

01:49:18.000 Ian's planned this one out.

01:49:19.000 I'm ready.

01:49:20.000 Uh, let's see.

01:49:21.000 Brandon Hoover says, former LA resident now in Central PA.

01:49:25.000 I'm happy to have discovered this show and Jimmy Dore during COVID.

01:49:28.000 It's a thinking person's show and I listen nightly while I tie.

01:49:32.000 While I tie.

01:49:33.000 While time flies.

01:49:34.000 I see what it says.

01:49:34.000 It says while I tie flies.

01:49:36.000 I think he's tying flies for fishing.

01:49:38.000 Yeah.

01:49:39.000 Oh, actually, yeah.

01:49:40.000 That's what he's doing.

01:49:41.000 Fly fishing.

01:49:42.000 Cheers to all of you.

01:49:43.000 Yeah, Jimmy's awesome.

01:49:44.000 Jimmy Dore's great.

01:49:45.000 They hate him because he's legit.

01:49:47.000 He's a real anti-establishment populist leftist.

01:49:50.000 And that means he calls it out when they when they play dirty games.

01:49:54.000 He'd be one of those dudes in the 60s that would have been standing up with a megaphone in front of crowds at Washington Monument like screaming about like the war and the war but now it's like the modern version of that as we have the internet video.

01:50:05.000 Yeah, I haven't followed Jimmy Dore closely but I know how anti-establishment he is.

01:50:11.000 It's just like his reputation precedes him.

01:50:14.000 Yeah, I think Jimmy's great.

01:50:16.000 I think Kyle Kalinske's a cool dude.

01:50:18.000 I think he's pretty rad, like crystal ball.

01:50:21.000 I think they all deserve their criticism when they deserve it.

01:50:24.000 I think I do as well.

01:50:25.000 My thing is, I don't care what your political opinions are when it comes to healthcare or economics or policy, socialist, capitalist, communist, so long as you don't believe in oppressing other people through violence and coercion and force, and you're honest.

01:50:40.000 Non-aggression principle.

01:50:42.000 Yeah, that's the gist of it.

01:50:43.000 Like, I tell the story all the time where I shook the hand of this communist guy wearing a sickle and hammer flag because he denounced Antifa straight up when I asked him.

01:50:50.000 I was like, these guys go around, they claim to be either anarchists or communists, and they beat people.

01:50:54.000 And he's like, that's wrong.

01:50:55.000 They shouldn't do that.

01:50:56.000 And I was like, but they say they're communists.

01:50:59.000 And he's like, yeah, well, they have no idea what they're talking about.

01:51:01.000 That's not the way it's supposed to be.

01:51:02.000 And I was like, here, here, brother, I don't care if you're a communist, so long as you agree that we talk things out, we don't aggress against each other.

01:51:08.000 If you want communism, by all means, argue all day and night for it.

01:51:11.000 And if you convince people, then my ideas have lost.

01:51:13.000 Well, that's...

01:51:14.000 And that's where things have changed.

01:51:17.000 It used to be that you try to persuade others that your ideas are the best ideas.

01:51:25.000 Now it's come to the point where you're not convincing other people.

01:51:29.000 You're coercing them.

01:51:30.000 You're beating the crap out of them. 0.97

01:51:31.000 You're trashing their entire store, burning cities to try to prove your ideas are better than the other side. 0.50

01:51:39.000 That's just not how it works.

01:51:41.000 No, this guy in Berkeley, this commie guy, he was a unicorn.

01:51:43.000 It was like the one time I've ever met a leftist who was like, you shouldn't be able to use violence against people that defies the idea of what communism is supposed to be.

01:51:51.000 And the funny thing is, he's right.

01:51:54.000 If we're talking about a truly stateless system where everyone's cooperating and working together and no one's above anyone else, you shouldn't be able to go around just beating random people.

01:52:02.000 So the people who do that do not actually believe in what they claim to preach about.

01:52:06.000 They're not talking about some kind of Star Trek future.

01:52:08.000 They're just talking about beating you until they have the power over you.

01:52:11.000 That's not any kind of ideology other than authoritarianism.

01:52:14.000 And you should be able to communicate with all ideologies.

01:52:17.000 Anyone that's like a communist isn't necessarily going to always be a communist.

01:52:22.000 If you have a good conversation with someone, their political beliefs can change.

01:52:26.000 Alright, we got Brocages over Hokages. 0.61

01:52:32.000 You see, if I read the last word, I would have understood that.

01:52:34.000 He says, Hey Tim, I'm from San Diego and the reason I left the Republican Party is because they do not represent my values.

01:52:40.000 Trump did.

01:52:42.000 Very interesting.

01:52:43.000 Matthew Valesquez says, Gorilla says, fleeing the GOP?

01:52:47.000 I want to buy silver now.

01:52:49.000 Image JPEG says, I left the GOP because of what they did to Trump.

01:52:52.000 Not a rejection of Trumpism.

01:52:54.000 Also, BCH to the moon.

01:52:56.000 Book recommendation, the Bitcoin standard.

01:53:00.000 Mark Jensen says, I live in Colorado.

01:53:02.000 When the vote to legalize weed was on the ballot, I voted against it.

01:53:05.000 I knew that legalizing it would bring a bunch of Californians here and make our state even bluer. 0.99

01:53:10.000 Sure did.

01:53:11.000 I mean, that's tough, man, because I think it should be legal, you know?

01:53:14.000 What happened?

01:53:14.000 Were you there when they legalized it?

01:53:16.000 Yeah, I was.

01:53:16.000 So I actually voted against it, and one of the things that I noticed was that people from California came, and a lot of them, when they weren't able to find these jobs that were actually still pretty rare, They would become homeless.

01:53:26.000 They were just kind of like vagrants hanging around.

01:53:29.000 At least that was my impression, because I would drive past a bunch of them on my way to work and everything.

01:53:33.000 Oh man, we got a pretty strong rebuke of you, Ian.

01:53:37.000 Should I read it?

01:53:38.000 We're gonna read it, we're gonna read it.

01:53:40.000 Yeah, here we go.

01:53:41.000 Drew Richmond says, Ian needs to play some Super Mario Bros.

01:53:44.000 Mushrooms encourage violence, not prevent it.

01:53:48.000 I think Mario was already violent, wasn't he?

01:53:50.000 He eats mushrooms, punches bricks, and then jumps and stomps turtles.

01:53:53.000 It just makes him more resilient.

01:53:55.000 He can take hits when he's big, you know?

01:53:58.000 There's a really funny web cartoon of Mario eating a mushroom and then, like, tripping out and then jumping on a turtle and splattering it and, like, just, like, punching bricks and going crazy.

01:54:07.000 He could punch bricks, but once he ate mushrooms, he could smash them.

01:54:10.000 That's true.

01:54:11.000 He couldn't break them until he ate the shrooms.

01:54:12.000 That's funny. 0.99

01:54:13.000 That game's ridiculous, man. 0.92

01:54:16.000 The Grizzly says, you guys gonna talk about the Russian convoy that sideswiped a US vehicle causing injuries to US soldiers? 0.96

01:54:22.000 It's kind of exploding all over.

01:54:24.000 You guys hear that?

01:54:24.000 I didn't hear that.

01:54:25.000 I heard that a couple months ago, but not now.

01:54:28.000 Interesting.

01:54:28.000 Not recently.

01:54:30.000 David Merwin says, you all would be awesome higher leadership in the Libertarian Party and be the change that inspires you.

01:54:36.000 Yeah, the problem is the Libertarian Party is too libertarian.

01:54:39.000 What if we just started a party?

01:54:40.000 You guys think we could?

01:54:41.000 The pizza party.

01:54:42.000 The pizza party?

01:54:44.000 The pool party!

01:54:46.000 The thing is, it would point big targets on us, which is annoying. 0.97

01:54:51.000 Like if we were really speaking to the world and trying to, you know, changing policy and the pool party economy, everyone would be like trying to hack our shit, our stuff, our phones, like annoying. 0.99

01:55:02.000 We don't have a shit, Ian. 0.99

01:55:04.000 Taxes and like looking for every little hole and constantly harassing us. 0.99

01:55:08.000 That's the annoying part.

01:55:09.000 Like, but if we just build the system that that's better, then maybe we don't have to be like targets.

01:55:16.000 I don't know, man.

01:55:17.000 Politics is a dirty game.

01:55:19.000 I don't want to be involved in that stuff.

01:55:21.000 I'm involved too much as it is.

01:55:23.000 It's almost never a case where you're never a target if you try to start up a new party.

01:55:28.000 You're a threat to the system.

01:55:30.000 You're threatening other people's power.

01:55:32.000 they're going to do everything they can to make sure you don't get it.

01:55:35.000 So, I mean, that's why they took, that's why the, that's why the establishment's focus on

01:55:42.000 Trump was so intense is because he represented this immense threat to their power.

01:55:48.000 And whether people liked or hated him, he represented something that was much bigger, and he tried to bring people back to this idea that We're the United States of America.

01:56:00.000 We're a sovereign nation.

01:56:01.000 We don't sell out to, you know, foreign interests like the Chinese Communist Party or these international trade deals or these international global PACs.

01:56:11.000 We decide our future.

01:56:14.000 And people just, particularly people who are invested in those particular packs or deals,

01:56:22.000 they don't want it.

01:56:26.000 He said, something like, I'll paraphrase, why are we wasting time with this impeachment?

01:56:31.000 Just throw Trump into a lake, and if he sinks, he's guilty.

01:56:34.000 We figured this out ages ago.

01:56:36.000 And it was good, I laughed, but I responded, if Trump floats, that means he weighs the same as a duck.

01:56:41.000 If he weighs the same as a duck, it means he's made of wood. 0.99

01:56:43.000 And if he's made of wood, he's a witch! 0.99

01:56:44.000 You guys get the reference.

01:56:47.000 It's Monty Python.

01:56:48.000 That's a good one.

01:56:50.000 It weighs the same as a duck.

01:56:52.000 Those guys are great.

01:56:52.000 Salem Witchcraft Trials.

01:56:53.000 Yeah, that was awesome stuff.

01:56:55.000 Actually, one of them, I think it was Eric Idle blocked me because I put him on the list.

01:56:58.000 I love that.

01:57:00.000 I'm not even joking about that.

01:57:03.000 I love the... I think it's John Cleese, where he's like, if you want to be a right-wing extremist, you just got to choose... If you want to be an extremist, just choose which groups you hate, then you'll figure out if you're left or right.

01:57:11.000 And the funny thing is, when he goes through the list of who the right hates, he ends with, and of course, moderates.

01:57:16.000 And if you want to be on the left, then he names all the people the left hates, and he goes, and of course, as well, moderates.

01:57:21.000 Like, they just hate everybody.

01:57:22.000 Alright, we got this massive super chat from Lanius Shrike who says, People who have never been in a fistfight before are aggressively shutting down open discourse and any chance for negotiation.

01:57:32.000 Why?

01:57:33.000 Because they don't understand what leads up to a fight, how to avoid a fight, or how to fight a fight.

01:57:38.000 They have zero life experience. 0.94

01:57:40.000 They are a sad blend of pompous hubris, naivety, and outright insanity. 1.00

01:57:44.000 I absolutely agree.

01:57:47.000 The people who have been in fights are like, I don't want to get into a fight, dude.

01:57:49.000 It's funny, when you look at wild animals, people are scared of bears and mountain lions.

01:57:53.000 Bro, bears and mountain lions know not to get into a fight.

01:57:56.000 It's a huge risk.

01:57:57.000 It's not worth it.

01:57:58.000 Life is better than that.

01:58:00.000 You think about- I'll tell you a story, man.

01:58:02.000 When I was a little kid, there was a- I'll have to keep this one very, very vague for potential legal issues, but there was a place where some guys were working, and then an office party, and one of the guys started hitting on the other guy's wife.

01:58:15.000 So then, the dude, let's say guy A is married, and guy B is hitting on guy A's wife.

01:58:21.000 So guy A starts saying, knock it off.

01:58:24.000 Get away from my wife. 0.97

01:58:25.000 So guy B, being a tough guy, swings at guy A. So guy A, I think, pushes him, gets away from my wife.

01:58:31.000 Guy B escalates the fight, punches guy A in the head, who falls back, hits his head on the table, dies instantly.

01:58:38.000 Guy B goes to prison.

01:58:40.000 Over what? 0.99

01:58:41.000 He said some dumb words to some lady? 0.99

01:58:43.000 He could have just... But ultimately, the murderer was guy B who went to prison. 0.99

01:58:48.000 But guy A didn't need to push him.

01:58:51.000 And then guy B escalated it.

01:58:53.000 So sometimes it can go back and forth.

01:58:55.000 But sometimes the important thing is just walk away.

01:58:57.000 Take it somewhere else.

01:58:58.000 If you fight someone and you both get hurt, who's the victor?

01:59:01.000 I guess there's a time and a place for combat, but...

01:59:06.000 Fights does not solve problems for the most part.

01:59:09.000 Sometimes you have to, you know, fights happen.

01:59:11.000 Sometimes there's a desperate animal, right?

01:59:13.000 Bears and mountain lions might not want to attack you.

01:59:17.000 If they're starving, they will.

01:59:18.000 They will.

01:59:18.000 And then you got to fight back.

01:59:19.000 You got to defend yourself, you know?

01:59:21.000 So it's, it's, it's difficult here.

01:59:23.000 But I guess the idea with that guy was that he was picking a fight and provoking by going after the guy's wife.

01:59:28.000 And then he was the one who threw the punch.

01:59:30.000 Yup.

01:59:33.000 Sage Meek says, TimTheGang, have you watched the interview with Yuri Bezmenov, the ex-KGB agent, on the topic of ideological subversion?

01:59:39.000 What are your thoughts?

01:59:40.000 How far along do you think we are?

01:59:43.000 We have all definitely seen it many, many times.

01:59:46.000 And I don't know how far along we are.

01:59:47.000 Maybe we're past the event horizon.

01:59:49.000 I keep forgetting to ask G. Edward Griffin to come on.

01:59:53.000 He's the guy who interviewed the KGB agent, but he was very telling.

01:59:57.000 There's a reason that video has gone viral.

02:00:00.000 I think we're in touch with Edward.

02:00:02.000 I put you in touch, Lydia, with his mail, his marketing manager or something.

02:00:07.000 Okay, very cool.

02:00:08.000 Yeah, we can look it up.

02:00:09.000 Yeah, that'll be interesting.

02:00:10.000 We'll get into it in greater detail on a later show, I suppose.

02:00:13.000 Storman says, Tim, love the show, and Luke and Ian are awesome.

02:00:16.000 But did you see that the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa County may soon face arrest as Arizona Senate fast-tracks their contempt vote?

02:00:24.000 No, I didn't see that.

02:00:25.000 That's crazy.

02:00:27.000 MontyIsBadAtGaming says, let's hear something less stressful.

02:00:29.000 How about that WandaVision show?

02:00:31.000 Okay, I got a lot to say about WandaVision.

02:00:33.000 I haven't seen it.

02:00:33.000 Here's my advice to you.

02:00:36.000 If you haven't seen it, skip episodes 1, 2, and 3.

02:00:40.000 Huge waste of time, has nothing to do with anything.

02:00:43.000 My mind was blown at how bad the show was.

02:00:46.000 Wow.

02:00:47.000 I watched the first episode and I thought it was going to be a five minute gag of them pretending to do a 50s sitcom.

02:00:54.000 It's literally like 40 minutes or whatever of a fake 50s sitcom.

02:00:58.000 And I said, okay, maybe that was just the first episode.

02:01:01.000 Second episode I was like, what is this?

02:01:03.000 Third episode I was like, are you kidding me?

02:01:05.000 Honestly, I thought you were saying Juan as in the name Juan division, huh?

02:01:11.000 Division like it's like like like Mexican Joy Mexican like a Hispanic FBI 0.97

02:01:18.000 Yeah Here's what I want to say though. He's not like it's if you

02:01:24.000 want Wanda vision. Yeah If you want to watch a show, just start from episode 4.

02:01:29.000 Oh, Vision!

02:01:30.000 That's Vision!

02:01:31.000 He's got the red face, though, instead of the pure silver white Vision.

02:01:35.000 What do you mean?

02:01:35.000 Like, in the comics, Vision was white for a long time.

02:01:37.000 The first Vision was red.

02:01:38.000 The original one was red.

02:01:40.000 Just start with episode 4, and the show is great.

02:01:44.000 It's fun.

02:01:45.000 So, in episode four, they basically explain the first three episodes and why they wasted your time.

02:01:49.000 And I'm like, why would they do that other than to just fill episodes and claim they have more episodes than you do?

02:01:52.000 So it wasn't like any character development in those first three episodes?

02:01:55.000 None.

02:01:55.000 Are there different writers?

02:01:56.000 I have no idea.

02:01:57.000 I wonder if the writers got fired.

02:01:58.000 So it's like, you watch the first episode and it's supposed to be a gimmick of, I don't know, Bewitched?

02:02:04.000 Like Pleasantville or something?

02:02:05.000 No, like Bewitched.

02:02:06.000 The writers were like, the show's tanking, we gotta change the premise.

02:02:09.000 So they sort of... Well, they had this all ready to go.

02:02:12.000 The whole season, though?

02:02:13.000 Or are they writing every week?

02:02:14.000 Yeah, they have the whole season already filmed.

02:02:15.000 It is.

02:02:16.000 I'll tell you this.

02:02:17.000 Whenever they do the hokey... So even, like, episode 4, it's the real world now.

02:02:22.000 They're explaining what's going on, and it's a really fun show.

02:02:25.000 Episode 5 is a mix.

02:02:28.000 I just fast-forward through anything where they're pretending to do a sitcom.

02:02:30.000 I don't normally want you to spoil stuff, but I'm gonna ask you later to tell me more about that.

02:02:34.000 My advice to you is fast-forward through it when the show is a fake TV show, because it's a waste of your time.

02:02:41.000 And then as soon as you see the real show with the FBI agents and the S.W.O.R.D.

02:02:44.000 agents, to actually watch it, that's interesting.

02:02:46.000 Yeah, but now, like, Tim, you've made me want to watch the first three episodes because I want to know... No, no, trust me, you'll watch five minutes and turn it off.

02:02:56.000 You really will. 0.98

02:02:57.000 Trust me, this poop is stinky. 0.99

02:02:59.000 It's stinky. 0.96

02:03:00.000 You're not going to want to smell it.

02:03:01.000 People just got up and walked out of the room, they're like, what is this?

02:03:04.000 Do you like the show Bewitched?

02:03:06.000 I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

02:03:08.000 But you know what it is, right?

02:03:09.000 Yeah.

02:03:10.000 The second Darren, yeah.

02:03:11.000 The first Darren got fired or something.

02:03:14.000 Why'd he get fired?

02:03:16.000 Oh, I don't know the history of it.

02:03:17.000 Anyway, look.

02:03:18.000 Bewitched was a fun show, okay?

02:03:20.000 But would you watch Knock Off Bewitched?

02:03:24.000 I just watch Bewitched.

02:03:25.000 I wouldn't, I just watch Bewitched. 1.00

02:03:26.000 I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna watch this, it's stupid. 1.00

02:03:28.000 It's really bad too. 1.00

02:03:29.000 Does he shoot lasers out of his eyes?

02:03:31.000 Don't, don't spoil it for me.

02:03:32.000 That's really bad.

02:03:33.000 The actual story is interesting, but they, like dude, out of, let's see, you've got what, like 35 to 40 minutes for each episode, so you got five episodes.

02:03:43.000 Out of all of that time, there's only about an actual 50 minutes of content.

02:03:48.000 Wow.

02:03:48.000 3 hours and 20 minutes?

02:03:49.000 Wow.

02:03:52.000 Wow.

02:03:52.000 only about 50 minutes it's actual content.

02:03:54.000 The rest is just like you're watching imagine if you watched a YouTube video that was

02:03:59.000 spoofing Bewitched on YouTube it would be three minutes long and you'd laugh at the jokes.

02:04:03.000 Imagine if they made it for 40 minutes you'd be like OK dude I get it.

02:04:06.000 Bewitched.

02:04:07.000 Interesting.

02:04:08.000 Anyway is it more than five episodes.

02:04:10.000 Right now it's 5.

02:04:11.000 I think 6 is coming out soon.

02:04:13.000 But there's important MCU developments happening in the show.

02:04:16.000 So I just fast forward through when they pretend to be a TV show. 1.00

02:04:19.000 Because it's the stupidest, most mind-numbing garbage I've ever watched. 1.00

02:04:24.000 But the actual story is interesting. 1.00

02:04:28.000 Will Billy the Hillbilly says, to answer your question why Dems are moving to towns in red areas, city slickers want to live country and rustic, but don't want to live far from stores, restaurants, and repairmen.

02:04:39.000 They don't want the responsibility of living in the real country.

02:04:42.000 That's true.

02:04:43.000 Chopping wood and starting fires.

02:04:44.000 Nah, they need the internet.

02:04:46.000 Right?

02:04:47.000 All right.

02:04:48.000 Let's see.

02:04:48.000 We had a big jump.

02:04:48.000 We'll take a, we'll take a few more of these here.

02:04:51.000 We got Silently in Atlanta says, Georgia underestimated impact of becoming the Hollywood of the South.

02:04:57.000 Many brought their blue view with them.

02:04:59.000 Allsoft commercials touted him as a filmmaker with Dr. Wife.

02:05:03.000 Reduced tax breaks?

02:05:04.000 New Saiyan, TMT, Tom McDonald topic.

02:05:07.000 Is that because you want Tom McDonald on the show?

02:05:11.000 That'd be funny.

02:05:12.000 He's cool, dude.

02:05:12.000 Yeah.

02:05:13.000 Someday.

02:05:15.000 Paul Balick says, doubling down on my last super chat, free apparel pitch for wearechanged.org.

02:05:21.000 One, face mask with print of dog muzzle.

02:05:23.000 Two, face mask made to look like a bra with the phrase, free the lip. 1.00

02:05:27.000 We do have some face masks.

02:05:29.000 The dog muzzle one is good.

02:05:31.000 One has a picture of the NPC lips.

02:05:33.000 One says censored.

02:05:35.000 We have a whole bunch of different ones available for you guys.

02:05:39.000 Abe Eckstein says, Hey Suraj, it's weird watching you without Yashar taking over the chat.

02:05:45.000 Why does he do that?

02:05:46.000 Because on my Habibi Bros Habibi Power Hour, that's 10 p.m.

02:05:51.000 on Wednesday nights on YouTube, Yashar pops in and trolls me and Jeff.

02:06:00.000 He's a cool dude.

02:06:01.000 People seem to really like Yashar.

02:06:04.000 He's a connected dude.

02:06:06.000 He knows a lot of people.

02:06:08.000 Is that the co-host?

02:06:09.000 No, he's a journalist.

02:06:11.000 But he's one of the few journalists where conservatives and liberals are like, they think he's alright.

02:06:15.000 Oh cool, maybe we can have him on the show someday.

02:06:16.000 He's all the way out in Cali.

02:06:19.000 I mean, we fly people out.

02:06:21.000 All right, here we go.

02:06:22.000 Treyton Evans says, been watching your show for years now.

02:06:24.000 Time I pay for this free content.

02:06:26.000 Keep up the good work.

02:06:26.000 Hey, really appreciate it.

02:06:28.000 But the better thing you can do is go to TimCast.com and become a member.

02:06:32.000 That way, if we ever get banned, we have a place where our content will exist and we're producing exclusive podcast segments and episodes for members only.

02:06:40.000 That does remind me you can pay $4.99 a month to this channel on YouTube to become like a channel member that gives you like special color emotes in the chat, but it doesn't doesn't give you any website.

02:06:50.000 So just probably you haven't done this, but just in case, make sure if you subscribe on YouTube, that's not the website.

02:06:54.000 They're different.

02:06:55.000 Yeah.

02:06:55.000 Timcast.com.

02:06:56.000 I think that's what people are confused about.

02:06:58.000 All right.

02:06:59.000 Let's see what we got here.

02:07:09.000 Interesting.

02:07:09.000 We'll look into that.

02:07:11.000 Kristen Larson, Ian, did you have any luck in love, or did you fail?

02:07:16.000 I had much luck in love, actually.

02:07:18.000 I spent like seven years with one girl, and then I was single for a while, then dated another girl for four years, and I toyed with roping in and settling down, and I don't know.

02:07:30.000 Sometimes I have regrets, but I try to live without them.

02:07:33.000 Part of me is like, I should have just married her, man, and had the kids, and lived that life, because she'd just be here with me right now.

02:07:38.000 But, maybe I wouldn't be here right now if I did do that.

02:07:41.000 You're gonna get visited by, um, what's the guy's name?

02:07:45.000 Marley?

02:07:46.000 Yeah, he's gonna be like, look at what you missed.
