Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Johnny Depp WINS Striking Huge Blow To MeToo And Corporate Press w-Jobob

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:53.000 Johnny Depp has won This is big news, and it's a lot of celebrity gossip that I haven't really followed all that much, but there is some big cultural, political victories here.

00:01:18.000 There are some.

00:01:19.000 This is a huge blow to the Believe All Woman, Me Too stuff.

00:01:22.000 Amber Heard wrote this op-ed that was basically defaming Johnny Depp without actually naming him because it was part of the whole narrative about how, you know, women are abused and they have to keep it secret. 0.60

00:01:32.000 Turns out, well, you know, she's gotta pay damages to Johnny Depp.

00:01:35.000 Now, he did lose some of the case, but for the most part, major victory for Johnny Depp and a major blow to Believe All Women and the corporate press, because I believe it was the Washington Post who just uncritically ran this story like, yeah, sure, you can say whatever you want. 0.82

00:01:50.000 And my question is, why isn't Johnny Depp suing the Washington Post?

00:01:54.000 So, I don't know, maybe.

00:01:55.000 I mean, everyone can't sue them.

00:01:57.000 What do you mean?

00:01:58.000 The Washington Post?

00:01:59.000 Is that a dare?

00:02:01.000 Yeah, sure, maybe they can.

00:02:03.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:02:04.000 We also have, man, today is kind of crazy.

00:02:07.000 We have this, the Democrat who's running against Rand Paul made what may be one of the most insane political ads I've ever seen.

00:02:13.000 It's him with a noose around his neck and he's holding on to it talking about how, you know, it was a tool to terrorize his people.

00:02:19.000 And I'm just like, Yo, if you think this is, like, the woke stuff was crazy ten years ago, just wait until these woke millennials are running the show completely, as opposed to just suggesting or demanding of these things.

00:02:33.000 Imagine when they're actually at the helm.

00:02:35.000 I think he won the Jesse Smollett vote, man.

00:02:37.000 Oh, for sure, for sure.

00:02:38.000 And then we have... This one's gonna be tough, because YouTube's gonna get real mad about this one.

00:02:43.000 Hunter Biden.

00:02:45.000 Apparently texted his father a link to adult content.

00:02:48.000 But hold on.

00:02:50.000 That's the best case scenario.

00:02:52.000 Yikes.

00:02:52.000 So the Daily Mail says, but wait.

00:02:56.000 They shared phone numbers, so maybe he was just sending it to himself, and then I'm like, yo, that means it could be Joe sending it to his son.

00:03:05.000 There's a whole bunch of new information coming out from this laptop, the creepy things that Hunter Biden does, but I gotta be honest, you know, if Hunter Biden wants to do weirdo stuff, that's fine, he can do his thing, and I don't think it's anybody's business, but...

00:03:17.000 When you learn that through these links that were being sent, they shared phone numbers, it raises questions about whether or not Joe was actually doing business pretending to be Hunter.

00:03:27.000 That's the real story.

00:03:28.000 So we're gonna talk about all of that.

00:03:29.000 Plus we got some Joe Rogan stuff in the news.

00:03:31.000 We've got some other cultural stuff in the news.

00:03:33.000 Woke movies failing.

00:03:34.000 Joining us to talk about all of this is Joe Bob.

00:03:37.000 Yo, what up?

00:03:38.000 My name is Joe Bob. 0.96

00:03:39.000 I feel like I should first and foremost explain that ridiculous name. 0.85

00:03:43.000 One grandpa was Joe, the other one was Bob. 0.94

00:03:45.000 My parents couldn't decide who to name me after, and so they compromised and YOLO'd a hillbilly Alabama backwoods name on a brown guy.

00:03:54.000 So there's that.

00:03:55.000 When Lydia was like, we have Joe Bob on, I'm thinking like some guy in overalls with a straw hat.

00:04:01.000 I definitely have more teeth of any Joe Bob you've ever had here, if you've had any other Joe Bobs.

00:04:05.000 They bring you in for diversity training, like, I want everyone to picture someone named Joe Bob.

00:04:09.000 Now open your eyes!

00:04:13.000 So what do you do?

00:04:16.000 I've been in politics for a while.

00:04:18.000 I somehow convinced the good folks at Daily Caller to allow me to host the Daily Caller live show each and every morning on all the Daily Caller platforms.

00:04:25.000 And I say somehow convinced because I am wholly and entirely unqualified to do that sort of thing.

00:04:30.000 I mostly make jokes about the news, try and reach an audience that's kind of like not so into the weeds.

00:04:36.000 Maybe we can talk about why a little bit later, but yeah, that's kind of my thing.

00:04:40.000 I also do some stuff with Turning Point USA, I'm a contributor over there, and this is all very new to me.

00:04:47.000 We also have Brett Dasovic joining us, host of Pop Culture Crisis, because I gotta be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the Johnny Depp stuff and we needed somebody who could tell us more about it.

00:04:56.000 I think there's cultural and political ramifications here, but Brett's joining us.

00:05:00.000 Speaking of wholly unqualified and talking about stuff You might not know the stuff you're talking about that's

00:05:05.000 kind of what we do over there is you kind of link in stuff?

00:05:08.000 That's socio-political into cultural commentary talk about it in the context of movies

00:05:13.000 And we kind of do that night I totally identify with the feeling unqualified while

00:05:17.000 speaking to people on the show so that that's perfect you read more about it

00:05:21.000 Than I did of course Shim-sham.

00:06:00.000 And you will or will not- No, no, he's coming back.

00:06:02.000 You will or will not love them forever.

00:06:03.000 I will love them forever, yes, yeah, that is one of the- Like erotic love?

00:06:06.000 No, no, no, no.

00:06:08.000 Familial love.

00:06:09.000 Yeah, it is, um, I want what is best for them.

00:06:12.000 Speaking of wholly unqualified...

00:06:14.000 What's up, dudes?

00:06:16.000 Everyone here is like, I shouldn't be here.

00:06:18.000 I didn't say that.

00:06:19.000 I was talking about Seamus.

00:06:21.000 Seamus is unqualified to love.

00:06:23.000 Just kidding.

00:06:24.000 Seamus is the best.

00:06:25.000 Ian Crossland in the house, everybody.

00:06:27.000 Let's get to it, because I've never known any two people to share a phone number before, so I don't know what's going on.

00:06:31.000 Yeah, that's really interesting.

00:06:33.000 Sorry, go ahead.

00:06:34.000 You missed a point, too.

00:06:35.000 It also could have been Joe sending it to Joe.

00:06:37.000 That's right.

00:06:38.000 Is that what you were going to say?

00:06:39.000 Yeah, I was going to say something like that.

00:06:40.000 I look forward to this evening.

00:06:41.000 Joe's like, I really like this link, man.

00:06:43.000 Make sure I don't forget about it.

00:06:45.000 That actually feels more plausible given his natural state, actually.

00:06:48.000 I don't know.

00:06:49.000 My honest opinion is I think Joe Biden abused his son.

00:06:52.000 I would not be surprised.

00:06:54.000 I'm not kidding.

00:06:54.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:06:55.000 I don't think so.

00:06:56.000 Not at all, yeah.

00:06:56.000 Even just abandonment is a type of abuse.

00:06:58.000 I don't want to bury the lead, so I'll just say we know he sniffs kids. 0.99

00:07:02.000 Look how screwed up Hunter Biden is. 0.99

00:07:04.000 Yep. 1.00

00:07:04.000 The drug abuse? 1.00

00:07:05.000 I think that dude's got long-term trauma from something that happened in his life, and now they're texting each other porn? 0.84

00:07:11.000 Ugh.

00:07:11.000 Yeah, I think that dude, but we'll get into that stuff.

00:07:13.000 Anyway, yeah, I'm also here.

00:08:11.000 Let's jump into this first story from Timcast.com.

00:08:14.000 Jury finds Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp in trial verdict.

00:08:18.000 Heard ordered to pay $15 million in damages, but I don't think that's where it ends.

00:08:23.000 There's some caps, and I think Johnny does owe some to Amber, so let's read.

00:08:30.000 The seven-person jury reached a decision around 3.20 p.m.

00:08:33.000 on June 1st after deliberating for a cumulative 12 hours over three days.

00:08:37.000 Hurd has been ordered to pay $15 million in damages.

00:08:41.000 However, $5 million of that amount applies to punitive damages, which the state caps at $350,000.

00:08:46.000 In Hurd's countersuit, Depp was found guilty of one of three counts of defamation.

00:08:52.000 Depp was not present in the courtroom at the time when the verdict was read, although he did teleconference in from the United Kingdom.

00:08:57.000 Depp filed a defamation suit against her for $50 million after alleging the op-ed she authored for the Washington Post damaged his reputation.

00:09:05.000 His legal team said the actress presented herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse, which had financial consequences for her ex-husband, even though it never specifically included his name.

00:09:14.000 And he's won.

00:09:15.000 In a huge blow.

00:09:17.000 For the MeToo movement, with all of these just, you know, believe-all-women narratives, just no matter what, well, now we know that Amber Heard wasn't being honest.

00:09:26.000 And also the corporate press, the Washington Post, that uncritically ran this story, which is what they often do.

00:09:31.000 And then they what?

00:09:32.000 They want to hide behind, oh, but it was someone else's opinion.

00:09:36.000 Well, here we are.

00:09:36.000 I don't know if I missed anything in that story, Brett.

00:09:39.000 There's more details you want to, you think we should mention?

00:09:41.000 The most important one that I think a lot of people leave out is that she didn't write the op-ed.

00:09:46.000 It was drafted by an ACLU lawyer.

00:09:48.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:09:50.000 If I can remember off the top of my head.

00:09:51.000 And that was basically done to coincide around the time of her leaving Johnny Depp.

00:09:57.000 And we talked about it today.

00:09:58.000 There's a lot of really weaselly language in that op-ed.

00:10:02.000 I was surprised how short it is.

00:10:04.000 I hadn't read it in a long time.

00:10:06.000 I skimmed it when it first came out, right?

00:10:08.000 And when we went back through it the other day, I mean, it's only about a paragraph.

00:10:10.000 It's a couple of paragraphs long.

00:10:12.000 And most of the stuff about Johnny Depp could be inferred in like that first

00:10:15.000 paragraph and the rest of it is just very, very generalized language.

00:10:20.000 So that's why I was surprised that he actually did end up winning.

00:10:23.000 So this sounds like a hoax.

00:10:25.000 Uh, the, I think it was done, right?

00:10:28.000 She did not write it.

00:10:30.000 It was drafted basically by somebody as an ACLU lawyer because she was a spokesperson for the ACLU on domestic violence.

00:10:36.000 Wow.

00:10:38.000 And that's a problem because it was done at the time of them getting separated and divorced.

00:10:42.000 This is more than just Me Too and corporate press.

00:10:45.000 This is a hammer to the face of the narrative machine.

00:10:48.000 I was, I mean, I don't know if it's just because I'm, like, pretty blackpilled about all of it, but I was very surprised that he, like, just because the language was so vague, and done in such a way, like, without naming him at all, uh, when even, she even says, like, uh, as a, when she talks about domestic violence, she doesn't infer him specifically, like, uh, Mary on the show even posited, she's like, she could be just saying, what if she's just a spokesperson for domestic violence, not necessarily somebody who has actually had, you know, gone through domestic violence, and said, yeah, but who actually does that?

00:11:15.000 Who becomes a spokesperson for something they didn't actually experience?

00:11:18.000 Right.

00:11:19.000 I'm curious, did anybody here know about this before this defamation case came to?

00:11:25.000 Negative.

00:11:25.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11:26.000 You did?

00:11:27.000 Oh, I remember when they published this story and it was like, who is she talking about?

00:11:31.000 And they're like, she was obviously talking about Johnny Depp.

00:11:34.000 Then when he got booted from Pirates, and what, he got booted from Dumbledore?

00:11:38.000 Or not from Dumbledore, from Harry Potter?

00:11:39.000 Well, yeah, from Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.

00:11:41.000 That was the one that I think is actually worse. 0.99

00:11:43.000 But they did him a favor, to be honest, because this movie sucks. 0.88

00:11:47.000 Maybe it would have been good if Johnny Depp was in it, you know? 0.96

00:11:49.000 I'm kidding, there's no possible way.

00:11:53.000 That was one of those things where I was like, that one felt more realistic to me because that was dealing with J.K.

00:11:58.000 Rowling, who's the main producer and writer on those movies, which is another reason, because she can write books, she's not very good at writing scripts. 0.63

00:12:05.000 It's a completely separate skill set.

00:12:07.000 But it's one of those things where she knows what that's like to deal with people defaming her and saying stuff about her beliefs.

00:12:13.000 So to have that come out and have her not support him, that felt more tangible to me than the stuff about Pirates of the Caribbean.

00:12:20.000 This was three and a half years ago she wrote this op-ed.

00:12:23.000 I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture's wrath.

00:12:27.000 That has to change.

00:12:28.000 And it was not even drafted by her.

00:12:30.000 This is what the reality of this country is.

00:12:32.000 These big machines, the corporate press, these big non-profits, these big NGOs, it's fabricated.

00:12:38.000 It's a narrative machine.

00:12:39.000 They're not telling you about reality.

00:12:41.000 It's completely inauthentic.

00:12:42.000 She also never paid off the she pledged the money from the from her divorce settlement to both the ACLU and then what was the other one it was a hospital like a Los Angeles Children's Hospital and she said that she donated it but she did not donate it she pledged the money and then blamed Johnny Depp for saying well you're suing me how can I give them the money now because I may have to pay you back.

00:13:06.000 Did anybody read her press release after?

00:13:09.000 No.

00:13:11.000 It's on her Instagram, right?

00:13:14.000 Hannah Claire sent it to me earlier. 0.96

00:13:16.000 It's ridiculous. 0.95

00:13:18.000 The gaslighting is real. 0.96

00:13:20.000 It's really bad.

00:13:21.000 Oh, this is too long.

00:13:21.000 I don't care about what she has to say.

00:13:22.000 I mean, I don't either.

00:13:24.000 That's fair.

00:13:25.000 Here's what's better.

00:13:26.000 In a story from the Babylon Bee.

00:13:28.000 Uncancelled.

00:13:29.000 Amber Heard hired by the Daily Wire.

00:13:32.000 Good on you, Ben Shapiro.

00:13:33.000 Good on you.

00:13:34.000 Her and Gina Carano can make a buddy cop comedy. 0.99

00:13:37.000 This from the Babylon Bee was brilliant.

00:13:40.000 Amber Heard hired by the Daily Wire.

00:13:43.000 A brilliant move from co-CEO Jeremy Boring on that one.

00:13:47.000 So Amber Heard wrote, the disappointment I feel today is beyond words.

00:13:50.000 I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.

00:13:57.000 I'm even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women. 0.88

00:14:00.000 It is a setback.

00:14:02.000 I'm seeing a bunch of progressives on Twitter, and their audience is angry at this verdict.

00:14:08.000 They wanted Johnny Depp to lose.

00:14:11.000 You know what I think is actually more damaging to women who are victims of abuse?

00:14:16.000 Making dishonest claims about being accused.

00:14:18.000 That's all.

00:14:18.000 That's right.

00:14:19.000 The one thing you'll always hear in stories like this is that when you lie and make false accusations, you're making it harder for actual victims.

00:14:25.000 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that.

00:14:26.000 Look, people who lie are bad people.

00:14:28.000 You know, that's like the cliched response. 1.00

00:14:29.000 Hey, Amber Heard, you're garbage. 1.00

00:14:31.000 You're garbage. 1.00

00:14:32.000 Yeah, my point is that, I mean, look, to pretend to care about a group of people that you are allegedly pretending to be one of as an imposter so you can sort of use whatever social capital you think being a victim will get you as a porn. 1.00

00:14:47.000 Like, you don't actually care. 0.79

00:14:48.000 They were like a couple alcoholic cokeheads that beat in the hell out of each other. 1.00

00:14:52.000 I mean, they both deserve nothing out of them, in my opinion.

00:14:54.000 I guess they're both, they both won the lawsuit for the other one, got a countersuit.

00:14:58.000 So she sued Johnny for a couple million bucks.

00:15:00.000 Johnny got 10 out of her or 13 out of her.

00:15:02.000 Well, he won the most of it.

00:15:04.000 She's worth a little more.

00:15:05.000 Yeah.

00:15:05.000 Men get paid more than women.

00:15:08.000 Maybe I don't know enough about this, but it seemed like he was trying to prove a negative. 1.00

00:15:12.000 What it seemed like this trial proved was that both of them are blackout crazy people. 0.52

00:15:17.000 Am I wrong in that? 0.94

00:15:18.000 No, that's what I got from it.

00:15:20.000 Yeah, but he didn't defame her.

00:15:22.000 I mean, I guess he did in that one count, but she writes an article.

00:15:25.000 You know what I mean?

00:15:27.000 It's like, you can be a crackpot blackout drunk, just don't go publish it in the Washington Post.

00:15:32.000 The number one conclusion we seem to come through is that they were just really bad for each other.

00:15:36.000 Their behavior was, in general, just very self-destructive to one another.

00:15:40.000 The problem with that is, we covered a story yesterday where the media basically says, if you don't believe her, you're bullying her.

00:15:47.000 And the writer posits that mutual abuse is fake.

00:15:52.000 That there's no such thing as mutual abuse in a relationship because of power dynamics.

00:15:55.000 It always comes back to power dynamics when they're discussing this stuff.

00:15:57.000 Communism that's it. Yes, and they actually make a point to talk about like we can talk about you know

00:16:03.000 Like how false accusations are extremely rare and they you know

00:16:06.000 They link your articles like what you're supposed to go to and it's two articles about Kavanaugh

00:16:09.000 I was like...

00:16:13.000 I was like, this is beyond parody.

00:16:16.000 So they don't actually, you expect it to be some type of YouGov statistics or something that says, yes, it is in fact rare for people to falsely accuse someone.

00:16:25.000 They always just fall back on communism.

00:16:28.000 On, well, he had more power, that's why I lost.

00:16:30.000 That's what she says in her thing. 0.89

00:16:32.000 The disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.

00:16:35.000 It's like, dude, you did wrong.

00:16:38.000 You got called out.

00:16:39.000 Stop crying.

00:16:40.000 I don't know, man.

00:16:40.000 Johnny Depp does control the courts.

00:16:42.000 That's true, yeah.

00:16:43.000 People don't realize that when they keep putting George Soros at the top, it's actually Johnny Depp.

00:16:49.000 Johnny Depp can play George Soros in the George Soros biopic when that eventually doesn't get made.

00:16:54.000 A lot of people like to talk about the shadow government.

00:16:56.000 What they don't understand is that there is a forward-facing government that masquerades as a court jester.

00:17:04.000 And so you know the jester is right there the whole time.

00:17:06.000 You think there's a shadow government.

00:17:07.000 It was the jester pulling the strings right in front of you.

00:17:10.000 See, my problem with all this is I don't think it's actually going to change anything for society.

00:17:14.000 A lot of people see this as a commentary on the, you know, the relationships between men and women, how that's going to change.

00:17:19.000 I said, no, this is just further proof that we as a society are still obsessed with celebrities.

00:17:24.000 And he has the money to fight a $50 million defamation lawsuit.

00:17:28.000 If this happens to just some regular dude on the street who gets defamed, he doesn't have the money to fight this in court.

00:17:33.000 It just, it ends up the same way.

00:17:35.000 I don't actually think it changes anything long term.

00:17:37.000 Maybe, uh, go ahead.

00:17:39.000 Well, we live in a caste system.

00:17:42.000 I feel like when this country's founded, it's very meritocratic because a bunch of people land on barren shores, and it's like, good luck.

00:17:49.000 And then some of them are like, well, we can steal it from the Native Americans. 1.00

00:17:52.000 Others were like, we can work with the Native Americans.

00:17:54.000 And others were like, guess I'll die.

00:17:55.000 I guess many were like, I'll survive.

00:17:58.000 But that meritocracy was all that mattered.

00:18:01.000 So if you had problems, you just sought to solve it.

00:18:04.000 You tried to figure it out now that we have big cities and people aren't moving around anymore

00:18:09.000 We've become much less meritocratic now You have people who are born rich stay rich who can wield

00:18:14.000 influence laws get crafted around this and you end up with regular people

00:18:18.000 Like CNN goes after that guy who makes a meme Yeah, so some some like dock worker who or some warehouse

00:18:23.000 worker who posted an email at Nancy Pelosi. They go after him

00:18:25.000 He can't do anything about it There's the one it was like the WWE meme of like the guy

00:18:30.000 like power bombing like the CNN logo or something like that And they were like we'll reveal his name unless he promises

00:18:36.000 never to post a meme again Yeah, exactly.

00:18:39.000 Well, they'll sit there and do something like, you know, destroy a teenager's life over a completely fabricated story and repeat that he's some kind of white supremacist who's harassing a Native American who was a veteran when none of it's true, and also tell the entire country where the kid went to school while doing it, while inciting hatred against them.

00:19:01.000 Then someone posts a meme poking fun at them and they go, I'm in danger.

00:19:06.000 So I don't mean to say in the most extreme case-cast system.

00:19:09.000 What I mean to say is we're growing to this point where you have people who are just third-generation wealthy.

00:19:15.000 They can afford big lawyers.

00:19:17.000 They just... It's remarkable how, you know, I've met people who are just rich because their families were rich, and they buy things from each other with insane amounts of money.

00:19:27.000 I would be like, you bought lotion for 50 bucks?

00:19:29.000 Why?

00:19:29.000 And they're like, it's really good.

00:19:30.000 And I'm like, And Tim, I told you that lotion helps rejuvenate me.

00:19:34.000 Like why you would do that and they're like, oh, but then their friend makes the lotion and sells it for 50 bucks

00:19:39.000 And I'm like when you're in that that community you just have all of this money, I guess from whatever and Tim

00:19:45.000 I told you that lotion helps rejuvenate me. I think this subtweet. Thank you very much

00:19:50.000 But you don't got to buy the fake weird crazy expensive. My point ultimately is we're moving that direction. I

00:19:56.000 I do think we're still... It's not like completely a caste system.

00:19:59.000 You can move up the class system.

00:20:02.000 But it really is coming to that point where we have seen so many people defamed.

00:20:06.000 I mean...

00:20:07.000 James O'Keefe may be one of the most defamed people, and he has to fight tooth and nail and ask people to help support him to win these lawsuits, which he does.

00:20:16.000 Johnny Depp is just ultra rich, and he's like jamming out in the UK like, whatever, and then he wins.

00:20:21.000 When you've got that kind of FU money, you just write a blank check to a lawyer and say, win for me, and then you leave.

00:20:26.000 Yeah, I just want to be wealthy enough that a false accusation against me won't be able to stick.

00:20:29.000 Yeah, love it.

00:20:31.000 Even if he had lost, I mean, it's one of those things where because he had won the court of public opinion so handily, like, say he loses but he has his reputation back, he can make that up in money in rolls in no time and pay off that $100 million lawsuit if that had been the way this had gone, but I think he would have ended up winning either way because his reputation is now, at the very least, he's employable again by big studios, he'll be able to make more money again, and that's just proof that it keeps going.

00:20:56.000 Where does it go from here, though?

00:20:57.000 Like, does he get a career back?

00:20:58.000 Because, again, For me, personally, I didn't know anything about this until the lawsuit.

00:21:03.000 I think that's a lot of America just was like, holy cow, Johnny Depp.

00:21:06.000 I don't know, man.

00:21:07.000 Really?

00:21:07.000 He got booted from Harry Potter and from Pirates of the Caribbean.

00:21:10.000 Yeah, there's people in the know, though.

00:21:12.000 I'm talking about, like, the wider scope.

00:21:14.000 Regular people know about their entertainment.

00:21:17.000 So, like, if you go to somebody and you say, do you know who Hamilton was?

00:21:22.000 They might be like, uh, maybe.

00:21:24.000 You know, Johnny Depp is like, oh, of course.

00:21:26.000 Well, yeah.

00:21:27.000 But I still had never heard of this.

00:21:28.000 All I know now is like, holy cow, I know Johnny Depp has some interesting problems.

00:21:34.000 And I didn't know that before, and so now I'm wondering, wow, how does he go forward?

00:21:37.000 Think about this, too.

00:21:39.000 You have a normal married couple that divorces, and the wife goes around defaming the husband. 1.00

00:21:44.000 What does he do about it?

00:21:45.000 Well, she told 15 people.

00:21:47.000 They're in her circle now.

00:21:49.000 He loses some of his friends, and then he moves on, and then she moves on.

00:21:53.000 In this weird world of celebrity and wealth, she publishes an op-ed in the Washington Post drafted by a lawyer for the ACLU.

00:22:00.000 They're both extremely wealthy celebrities, so this crazy cultural event happens.

00:22:06.000 Yeah, it's just weird, you know?

00:22:08.000 Yeah, it was like, where was the Ghislaine Maxwell trial?

00:22:11.000 Why was that not televised?

00:22:13.000 I know, like, this is the funniest thing about it.

00:22:16.000 We have two celebrities wagging their fingers at each other, and everyone's glued to it.

00:22:20.000 Law and Crime Network, I think, had 150,000 people watching the verdict get read.

00:22:25.000 I think it was 150K.

00:22:25.000 I think it was more than that.

00:22:26.000 Way more than that.

00:22:26.000 Was it way more than that?

00:22:27.000 It was a couple million.

00:22:28.000 Yeah, it was more than a million.

00:22:29.000 Million?

00:22:29.000 No, live?

00:22:30.000 Or no, not live.

00:22:31.000 Collective leader.

00:22:32.000 No, collective views.

00:22:33.000 The feed that I was watching had 500,000 people watching.

00:22:35.000 Okay, yeah. 500,000. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like the local fee too. And think about the Maxwell trial.

00:22:40.000 They're like, no one's allowed in. You can't know about this. Like, she's convicted of trafficking

00:22:45.000 minors to a bunch of, who knows? We don't know anybody who did that. We don't know. Customers

00:22:49.000 are gone. And that's just like, I mean, Epstein himself.

00:22:54.000 Like, we got questions about what happened in that jail cell. And just gone.

00:22:58.000 But Johnny Depp, top of the hour.

00:23:00.000 Headline, headline, headline.

00:23:01.000 Bread and circus.

00:23:02.000 You know that Roman tactic to keep the population subdued? 1.00

00:23:06.000 Make sure they have enough bread and entertainment.

00:23:08.000 People are saying millions?

00:23:10.000 That's crazy.

00:23:11.000 So here's what I want to point out.

00:23:13.000 At a time when we've got this story from the Daily Mail, and I can't show you the headline because YouTube might take it down.

00:23:22.000 Spice.

00:23:23.000 Quick distraction.

00:23:23.000 laptop was was leaked, you know, and so there's new information coming out about the things

00:23:27.000 he was doing. I just find it funny that on on this day, something really, really bad

00:23:31.000 comes out. It's also the day we get the the verdict in the trial for Johnny Depp and Amber

00:23:36.000 Heard. I'm not saying this is a conspiracy. I'm just saying what a distraction. What did

00:23:40.000 you say? Bread and circuses? Yeah. Hunter Biden was searching for milk, crack, cocaine,

00:23:47.000 adult content. Wow. I just thought that was funny because it's like, well, you know, he's

00:23:50.000 into it, right? He's looking for someone who's just like him. He was looking for loan. No,

00:23:55.000 no, get this. Get this. He was looking up adult content on Pornhub. Lonely widow. That 0.94

00:24:00.000 is dark. His brother's widow. And so he's like, I'm into this year and he's looking

00:24:06.000 That's creepy, but here's the craziest thing Here's what they say.

00:24:10.000 There's an image that says dad on 2018 1022 and it's a link to Pornhub premium sent to dad Who is Hunter Biden's dad?

00:24:19.000 Joe Biden!

00:24:20.000 Here's what they say, though.

00:24:21.000 How does that even work?

00:24:22.000 How does that even work?

00:24:23.000 Daily Mail.

00:24:24.000 You realize that also means it could have been Joe sending it to his son.

00:24:25.000 It could have been Joe sending it to his son.

00:24:44.000 It could have been Joe sending it to himself.

00:24:47.000 Joe might have been like, Oh, this is a really good video.

00:24:49.000 Got me off.

00:24:50.000 I'm going to, I'm going to save this one for later by sending it to myself.

00:24:52.000 At least he paid for premium.

00:24:54.000 Yeah, you don't want to get the cheap stuff, huh?

00:24:58.000 Here's the craziest thing about this is, yo, look, I mentioned this in the intro to the show.

00:25:02.000 I don't care if Hunter Biden wants to do weird stuff.

00:25:05.000 You know, everybody's, everyone, there's the meme where it's like the person's dying and they're like, delete my search history because everybody's, you know, searched for weird things they'd be embarrassed by.

00:25:14.000 If Hunter Biden wants to watch Lonely Widows, OK, dude, that's your thing.

00:25:19.000 But if Joe Biden is using the same phone number as Hunter, then how do we know how do we differentiate between the business dealings of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden?

00:25:28.000 This sounds to me like just evidence on top of evidence that Joe Biden was using his son as a proxy to do deals on the side while he was You know, influential in government, vice president or otherwise.

00:25:42.000 Did you see this email?

00:25:43.000 There's a story that came out today about an email sent between James Biden and Hunter Biden.

00:25:49.000 Did you see this?

00:25:50.000 I think this is part of this, like, drop.

00:25:52.000 What is it?

00:25:52.000 In an email, James told Hunter, him, Hunter, you, quote, you need to call me now, dot dot dot, just got off the phone with your father.

00:26:00.000 We have the two biggest days of our business life in front of us, five or six or seven exclamation points.

00:26:06.000 So, we have this right here.

00:26:07.000 What is this in reference to?

00:26:08.000 everything or everything goes up in smoke. Please call me.

00:26:10.000 You must all caps remain calm.

00:26:13.000 Timing could not be worse. Common measured paybacks can come later.

00:26:17.000 So we have this right here. What is this? What is this in reference to? What are they

00:26:21.000 doing? I don't know. I let me let me read. This is, quote, James and Hunter Biden were

00:26:26.000 in the midst of a lucrative deal with Chinese executives at the time, while Joe Biden was

00:26:30.000 out of public service for the first time in nearly half a century. Having left the vice

00:26:34.000 presidency a few months earlier. Hunter Biden turned to his uncle and.

00:26:38.000 At least as much as to his famous father for emotional support.

00:26:41.000 Hunter also relied upon James Biden, who goes by Jim, and is known as Jimmy within the family, on matters of dollars and cents.

00:26:48.000 Within days of that exchange, Hunter received another email from his uncle urging him to take advantage of a financial opportunity related to Joe Biden.

00:26:55.000 Right.

00:26:56.000 So, I mean, we can all laugh at the ridiculous and deeply personal photos of Hunter Biden. 0.98

00:27:02.000 Gross. 0.98

00:27:03.000 You know, his crack addiction and his illicit activities and all that stuff. 0.70

00:27:08.000 But when they said that they shared phone numbers, right away I was like, yo, are we all going to laugh that he sent this link?

00:27:14.000 Or are we going to recognize this appears to be evidence that they were using communication platforms interchangeably?

00:27:20.000 They were sharing bank accounts.

00:27:21.000 Joe WAS doing the illicit dealings.

00:27:24.000 It's not Hunter Biden.

00:27:24.000 It's Joe Biden who's doing it.

00:27:26.000 Hmm.

00:27:27.000 Well, I can't think of any other reason for them to share a phone number.

00:27:30.000 Surely they had the funds to both afford separate phones.

00:27:32.000 Is that a plausible deniability thing?

00:27:34.000 Maybe?

00:27:34.000 I don't know.

00:27:35.000 Like, is that it?

00:27:35.000 That Joe was doing some work and was like, oh yeah, Hunter also uses his... It probably wouldn't be for you or I or any person of normal means who was committing that kind of a crime, right?

00:27:44.000 But for the Biden family... Yeah, allegedly committing that kind of a crime, right?

00:27:48.000 People don't share cell phone numbers with other people.

00:27:50.000 That's insane.

00:27:51.000 You might have a family plan with multiple numbers on the plan.

00:27:53.000 The only reason you would use the same number as someone else is to obfuscate it.

00:27:58.000 I can't.

00:27:58.000 Why else would you?

00:27:59.000 They're filthy rich.

00:28:00.000 They don't need it for money. 0.92

00:28:02.000 They don't need it. 0.93

00:28:03.000 We can take it on its surface and just be like Hunter Biden sent his dad porn.

00:28:08.000 Yeah, that's what I think happened.

00:28:10.000 Maybe.

00:28:11.000 You know what I think?

00:28:12.000 Let's take a look at what's going on with this guy, Hunter Biden.

00:28:15.000 His dad sniffs little kids.

00:28:17.000 Consistently.

00:28:18.000 His dad talks about how when he was younger, the little kids were rubbing my legs!

00:28:23.000 What did he say, Seamus?

00:28:24.000 Oh, the hairy legs.

00:28:25.000 I got hairy legs!

00:28:26.000 The kids would rub them! 0.88

00:28:28.000 So here's a guy we've seen. 0.83

00:28:29.000 Grab women and sniff them. 1.00

00:28:31.000 Grab children, grope children. 0.52

00:28:33.000 Here's a guy that's been accused by Tara Reid of unspeakable acts.

00:28:39.000 And then you take a look at Hunter Biden. 0.99

00:28:41.000 Sexually depraved. 1.00

00:28:43.000 Crack addict. 0.99

00:28:44.000 I'm wondering, like, how does someone who's brought up in this, like, privileged family turn to this kind of life?

00:28:49.000 Maybe something, a deep trauma from his past made him turn to drugs to escape?

00:28:55.000 Maybe he's gone through... Why would he be sending his dad porn?

00:29:00.000 Maybe his dad was abusing him and that's why they share phone numbers and send or he sends adult content to his dad because they had an inappropriate relationship when he was younger.

00:29:10.000 I'm not saying it's a fact.

00:29:11.000 I'm not saying I have evidence.

00:29:12.000 I'm saying I look at this stuff and what I see is I'd be willing to make the bet. 0.59

00:29:16.000 I'm like, this guy's got deep sexual problems.

00:29:20.000 You know, I'm looking up.

00:29:22.000 Hunter's mom and brother died in a car accident, and he was actually in the car with them.

00:29:26.000 I can say trauma to this 1972 so hunter that might have just Destroyed his mind, but when you add into the fact that their dad his dad is Sniffs little girls and gropes children, even little boys, and kisses them.

00:29:41.000 I'm like... The Tara Reid accusations are unconscionable.

00:29:45.000 It's unconscionable that it wouldn't be investigated.

00:29:47.000 That right before he's running for office, a girl comes out and is like, he pushed me up against the wall and fill in the blanks.

00:29:52.000 Look it up. 0.92

00:29:53.000 It's disgusting. 0.95

00:29:53.000 I just wanna stress, I mean, we all have seen the videos of Joe Biden groping and kissing little kids. 0.95

00:29:59.000 What's the one with the redhead girl who's like, she's like shirking away from him and looking at him all awkward? 0.67

00:30:04.000 There's that picture.

00:30:05.000 There's like those supercuts.

00:30:06.000 Yeah, isn't there one where he like grabs a little boy's head and lifts it up and pulls him in and kisses him?

00:30:11.000 There's like... He kissed his granddaughter on the lips, didn't he?

00:30:14.000 I believe so, yeah.

00:30:14.000 That's something that happened, right?

00:30:16.000 Yeah, I remember that.

00:30:17.000 Recently.

00:30:17.000 Recently, yeah.

00:30:18.000 It's like, oh, it's because he's older.

00:30:20.000 It was a different time when he was younger.

00:30:23.000 It's totally normal.

00:30:24.000 It was back when Humphrey Bogart would backhand women on camera and it was cool in movies. 0.98

00:30:29.000 Well, that was in the 50s.

00:30:29.000 Yeah, that was in the 40s.

00:30:30.000 I don't care if that's true.

00:30:34.000 The New York Post ran the story in 2020 Joe Biden kisses granddaughter on the lips during Iowa Rally.

00:30:39.000 I mean, it is shocking enough that they're like, this is a story and they show images of him kissing his granddaughter on the lips.

00:30:47.000 Okay, in fairness, is there an actual video of this?

00:30:50.000 I saw it, yeah.

00:30:51.000 Oh, there is?

00:30:52.000 Because I could see somebody turning a cheek on accident the wrong way and you get that photo.

00:30:56.000 Again, I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm just... They're both puckering.

00:30:58.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:30:59.000 Okay, that looks weird.

00:31:00.000 But I mean, it's family, you know?

00:31:02.000 Sometimes you kiss family members on the mouth and it's just like a... I've seen that happen before.

00:31:08.000 But it's when it's the girls that aren't his.

00:31:10.000 Like the his buddy's daughter that's like trying to get out of the way when he's grabbing 0.95

00:31:14.000 at her and like if there's a camera the pictures taken.

00:31:16.000 You're like well then you have to ask the question is it better or worse when he's not

00:31:21.000 related to them because that's a slippery slope to go down to.

00:31:25.000 I have no doubt that that Hunter was deeply abused like I've thought that for a really

00:31:29.000 really long time.

00:31:31.000 Seeing his acting out in his behavior this is not the.

00:31:33.000 OK.

00:31:34.000 So the drugs I understand a lot of rich kids get into a lot of really distasteful drug

00:31:40.000 practices but his his level of acting out is very much a case of like actual abuse and

00:31:46.000 And for that, I do feel bad for him.

00:31:48.000 And the way, I feel like his dad used him for business deals.

00:31:51.000 What are you laughing at?

00:31:52.000 Look at this fact check from the AP.

00:31:54.000 Photo shows Biden kissing his granddaughter, not a 15 year old.

00:31:58.000 Oh, that's better.

00:31:58.000 How old is his 15 year old?

00:32:01.000 Oh, that's way better.

00:32:02.000 She was 19.

00:32:03.000 He's kissing his granddaughter on the lips.

00:32:04.000 That's totally fine.

00:32:06.000 Imagine having to type that, like working for the AP and typing it.

00:32:09.000 Fact check!

00:32:10.000 Do you think they believed that?

00:32:11.000 Like whoever wrote this, do you think they believed that when they were typing it, they were like, oh no, this is actually, this is totally different.

00:32:17.000 This is a bait and switch.

00:32:18.000 Someone was like, you know, you know the meme where it's, if you ever want to get the answer to a question, just post the wrong answer and then someone corrects you.

00:32:27.000 Somebody was like, I know that if I share the image of Biden kissing his granddaughter, the media will ignore it.

00:32:32.000 So if I post the wrong thing, I'll be forced to fact check it.

00:32:35.000 I just typed in Biden smelling girl into the search engine.

00:32:38.000 You should do the same.

00:32:41.000 I actually will not be doing that.

00:32:42.000 If you want to confirm what we're talking about, don't take my word for it.

00:32:45.000 Type Biden smelling girl into the search engine. 0.94

00:32:47.000 Turn off the Wi-Fi if you're doing that on your phone.

00:32:49.000 I think he abused his skin, man.

00:32:51.000 I think that's why Hunter's so messed up.

00:32:53.000 I just looked at the math.

00:32:54.000 Hunter was two when he was in a car accident with his mom and brother that died.

00:32:57.000 So, it's tough to say.

00:32:59.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:33:00.000 That would make anyone, I would imagine, would make someone's life hard, knowing that. 0.55

00:33:05.000 I'm not saying, again, that I know for a fact, I'm just saying when I look at someone like Hunter Biden, who's doing all these drugs, who's really messed up and sending his dad porn, I'm like, sounds like his creepy dad who sniffs children, gropes them, was probably doing the same to his son. 0.98

00:33:19.000 I think they both like porn and they both know they both like porn. 0.97

00:33:21.000 It sounds to me like his dad made it normal to share porn with his son, which is in itself disturbing.

00:33:27.000 Like, when did that start?

00:33:28.000 I don't view that as being... I personally do not view that as being normal.

00:33:32.000 I don't view that as being wholesome in any way. 0.97

00:33:34.000 That's disgusting.

00:33:36.000 I don't know.

00:33:36.000 It does kind of seem like one of those things where like when you've been a drug addict for that long and especially if your family doesn't discipline you when you're younger and you don't find a way to like get clean or get better and your brain just gets more and more addled and there's no repercussions for your actions.

00:33:53.000 It's like escalating and getting worse and getting worse and it's just more noticeable to us because it's such a prominent family.

00:33:59.000 But I just don't know if I would expect anything more if he didn't take the I don't know if he's clean now if he's doing better now, but it's just not something that I have a hard time believing that he'd be able to get clean without help and His dad's clearly not helping him.

00:34:12.000 His family's too worried about their public image that they're having their His messages and his laptop deleted and you know kept out of the public record.

00:34:20.000 They don't have time to worry about how his actual health is You know what though?

00:34:24.000 The Biden family, they probably enjoy delicious meals of crab from Delaware.

00:34:29.000 Excellent crabbing country.

00:34:31.000 So out in Maryland, we have excellent crab, cream of crab soup.

00:34:33.000 That's right.

00:34:34.000 Very wholesome for the family.

00:34:36.000 That sounds delicious.

00:34:37.000 Yeah, it's really good.

00:34:37.000 I'm hungry.

00:34:38.000 Thanks.

00:34:38.000 I went to a restaurant and they had lobster and crab.

00:34:41.000 Really?

00:34:42.000 Yeah.

00:34:42.000 It's very great.

00:34:43.000 This is a strange segue.

00:34:44.000 What are we doing here?

00:34:46.000 Nothing, just complete inanity.

00:34:47.000 I love it.

00:34:48.000 I appreciate it.

00:34:48.000 I love seafood, man.

00:34:49.000 I was just imagining, like, you know, we're talking about Hunter Biden growing up, and

00:34:52.000 I'm like, they're in Delaware or whatever.

00:34:54.000 And I'm like, they're probably eating a lot of crab.

00:34:55.000 Hey, you know what's in Delaware?

00:34:56.000 You go to the restaurants, like, everything's crab.

00:34:57.000 I think one thing we didn't get to show is the pictures from that, what was it, the Daily

00:35:01.000 Mail article?

00:35:03.000 No, we can't show them, but I mean, if you wonder if Hunter's doing okay now, look at that article and look at those pictures, and that will answer the question for you.

00:35:10.000 I don't know how old the pictures are, but he does not look like he's doing good.

00:35:14.000 So look, Joe Biden's been miserable.

00:35:15.000 Let's talk about this story real quick.

00:35:16.000 We got this from TimCast.com.

00:35:19.000 Kentucky Democrat Senate candidate wears noose in new campaign ad criticizing Senator Rand Paul.

00:35:25.000 In case you're wondering how Democrats are doing, just need only look at this image.

00:35:29.000 Joe Biden's doing miserably.

00:35:32.000 They need a Hail Mary desperate pass to try and pull this off.

00:35:36.000 And so we end up getting this ad where an absolutely desperate Democrat candidate, they know they're losing.

00:35:43.000 Now, I don't know what's going to happen.

00:35:44.000 For all we know, Democrats end up winning.

00:35:46.000 Sure, fine, whatever.

00:35:47.000 The red wave is what's being predicted because Republicans are up in the generic ballot.

00:35:52.000 This guy, made a campaign ad with a noose around his own neck.

00:35:56.000 Huh.

00:35:56.000 And progressives were calling it bold.

00:36:00.000 What?

00:36:00.000 Courageous.

00:36:00.000 And I'm like, well, that is true.

00:36:02.000 You got to have balls of steel to make a campaign ad.

00:36:04.000 But when I saw this, I was just like, it was kind of a moment of realization for me.

00:36:09.000 For the first, it's the craziest political ad I've ever, I've seen in my lifetime.

00:36:13.000 Unless I'm forgetting something, which is possible.

00:36:15.000 There was another one where they were like running people down in MAGA trucks or something.

00:36:21.000 That was also crazy.

00:36:22.000 But you know, before, like growing up, the campaign ads were like, My opponent wants to raise taxes.

00:36:29.000 And he voted no on the Safer Schools Act.

00:36:31.000 Now it's a guy and he puts a noose around his neck and he's like, look what they've done to me.

00:36:34.000 Wow.

00:36:35.000 He put this noose around my neck and said, this is MAGA country.

00:36:39.000 Rand Paul poured bleach on me outside of Subway.

00:36:41.000 And the media's like, Rand, what do you have to say for yourself?

00:36:44.000 And he's like, I didn't do it.

00:36:45.000 And they're like, he's lying.

00:36:46.000 He admits it.

00:36:47.000 I never did that.

00:36:48.000 They're like, well, that's what you would say if you did it.

00:36:50.000 I do agree.

00:36:51.000 I've never seen an ad where they make themselves the victim.

00:36:54.000 When someone's running for office and is like, look how badly I've been treated.

00:36:57.000 Vote for me now.

00:36:58.000 That's also a very good point.

00:36:59.000 That's such a bizarre strategy.

00:37:01.000 To be like, I am a victim.

00:37:04.000 We were supposed to like leaders.

00:37:06.000 What is this?

00:37:07.000 I do have to point out, yes, I did not remember this one.

00:37:10.000 Virginia ad features minority kids chased by truck with Gillespie sticker and Confederate flag.

00:37:16.000 Yo, this is just the scare tactics.

00:37:18.000 Wild.

00:37:19.000 It's like... They're writing fanfics.

00:37:21.000 They are, they are.

00:37:22.000 See, but the difference is this is a normal ad.

00:37:25.000 The new... No, yeah, we'll play it.

00:37:30.000 Like, what is this white dude with the Confederate flag doing?

00:37:33.000 They made sure he turned his head slowly, though. 0.62

00:37:35.000 He's running down minority kids, this is what it looks like.

00:37:38.000 But I don't think he actually does anything to the kids.

00:37:40.000 No, he doesn't.

00:37:41.000 Well, whoever politician this was probably intervened before he got a chance to do so.

00:37:45.000 I bet he did.

00:37:48.000 I actually think this is a really good commercial.

00:37:50.000 Run, run, run!

00:37:52.000 The truck is coming!

00:37:53.000 Oh no!

00:37:55.000 What's he gonna do?

00:37:55.000 Yeah, like, what is the guy even doing?

00:37:57.000 Oh no!

00:37:58.000 Not the Gadsden flag!

00:38:04.000 He's gonna run him over!

00:38:05.000 Oh, is this a nightmare?

00:38:06.000 How did it become night so fast?

00:38:09.000 This is actually, I think this is a good commercial. 0.98

00:38:11.000 I know, the PSA is like, maybe stop fabricating fake hate crimes and scaring the crap out of your children. 0.97

00:38:15.000 Exactly.

00:38:15.000 Yeah, it's a good idea, yeah.

00:38:16.000 These kids are having nightmares because you scream in their faces about things that they don't gotta be worrying about for the most part.

00:38:21.000 The Kim Klesik ads were really good that she had.

00:38:23.000 Those were good, yeah.

00:38:24.000 That was a good example of high production value, but focusing on whatever issues she wanted to talk about in the community, you know, walking the streets of Baltimore. 0.86

00:38:32.000 I just want to point out, they took the tweet, they took that unbelievably banal, histrionic, dramatic, left-wing tweet that we see every couple months and made a commercial.

00:38:43.000 The, my kid said to me, I'm scared because Republican is gonna do X. It's like, Your kid didn't say that.

00:38:49.000 You're making this up.

00:38:50.000 What's wrong with you?

00:38:51.000 They took that and they made it a commercial.

00:38:53.000 Do you remember the Lincoln... Is it the Lincoln Project?

00:38:55.000 Yeah.

00:38:56.000 The Lincoln Project.

00:38:56.000 Their commercial that they had where it was like, four more years and I didn't know you could serve three terms, Mom.

00:39:03.000 You remember that commercial?

00:39:04.000 Yeah, they blow it up.

00:39:05.000 Oh my God.

00:39:06.000 What?

00:39:07.000 No, it was Donald Trump in a pickup truck chasing down Abe Lincoln.

00:39:11.000 Probably, yeah.

00:39:12.000 Jeez. 0.88

00:39:12.000 He hates America. 0.88

00:39:14.000 See, but the thing about these commercials is they're... I don't want to give them any sort of gravitas, but at least they're legit.

00:39:20.000 The thing with the noose is just a publicity stunt.

00:39:23.000 This guy's running in Kentucky against Rand Paul.

00:39:25.000 He's not going to win.

00:39:27.000 He's trying to get Twitter followers to parlay that into a job at MSNBC.

00:39:31.000 That's his goal.

00:39:32.000 That's what a lot of it always feels like to me is that they're looking they know they're not gonna win Especially in like specific.

00:39:37.000 Oh, yeah, he's trying to get attention so that he can make his next career move Well, he clearly literally wants victim points by actually putting a noose around his neck I can't think of a more direct parallel to being like, oh look at me.

00:39:50.000 I'm a victim. Give me a job at MSNBC.

00:39:52.000 Oh man, we gotta wait.

00:39:54.000 Let me make sure I fix this.

00:39:56.000 Goodnight America.

00:39:58.000 This is one of the funnier...

00:40:00.000 My goodness gracious.

00:40:02.000 Oh yeah, blow this one up.

00:40:04.000 Don't let the bed bugs bite!

00:40:08.000 Look at that color scheme.

00:40:10.000 It's so dark. 1.00

00:40:14.000 This is that meme where the kids are like, Mommy, Donald Trump is a fascist. 0.98

00:40:18.000 It's like a red, white, American flag blanket. 0.88

00:40:26.000 You asked me to wake you and tell you what happened in the election.

00:40:29.000 Oh, no, he did not!

00:40:31.000 Yes, he did.

00:40:32.000 That kid definitely did that.

00:40:33.000 I said, school tomorrow.

00:40:34.000 Trump won.

00:40:36.000 Look at her face.

00:40:37.000 I thought you could only be president two times.

00:40:41.000 This is so cringe.

00:40:43.000 Not anymore.

00:40:44.000 Not anymore!

00:40:46.000 Hold on.

00:40:47.000 Wait a minute.

00:40:48.000 She was... 0.97

00:40:50.000 Oh my gosh.

00:40:53.000 Just one second.

00:40:54.000 All right.

00:40:55.000 Besides everything that is obviously wrong with this, if he was running for president after he had already served two terms, why would the kid be confused about the possibility of him winning?

00:41:08.000 The idea that you can only have two terms is not voter-enforced.

00:41:13.000 It's not like we let them run again and then the American people go, no, he had two terms, we're not voting for him.

00:41:17.000 But only after he wins.

00:41:19.000 Exactly.

00:41:19.000 They go, oh no!

00:41:21.000 But it's literally election night.

00:41:23.000 She says, Donald Trump might win, and he goes, wake me up when we find out.

00:41:27.000 And then she wakes up and he goes, but I thought you could only serve two terms.

00:41:29.000 It's impossible!

00:41:31.000 Then why did you ask?

00:41:32.000 Making me get up in the middle of the night to tell you about something you didn't even know about.

00:41:35.000 She's like, uh, son, we've been over this in some insane fascistic way that the Lincoln Project dreamed up.

00:41:40.000 He changed the law.

00:41:41.000 That's why he was running again.

00:41:43.000 That's why there was the election.

00:41:44.000 I gotta, I gotta give a shout out because this ad was actually like, it may as well have been a Trump ad.

00:41:50.000 Like an ad for Trump.

00:41:51.000 Dude, and so, yeah.

00:41:54.000 Like I'm sure all the Trump supporters were like, yeah, this is hilarious.

00:41:58.000 It's got more play.

00:41:59.000 I think than any, it got more.

00:42:00.000 So good.

00:42:01.000 Remember the, uh, whatever it is.

00:42:03.000 Remember the Carpe D'Antem meme?

00:42:05.000 Where it was like, dun dun dun dun dun dun Oh my gosh, it was amazing!

00:42:09.000 Trump 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032 And then it just goes to infinity

00:42:13.000 And they wrote articles where they were like Trump supporters want Trump to be president for life!

00:42:17.000 So funny!

00:42:19.000 They're like, Trump would be president for more than two terms

00:42:22.000 And you know who I love?

00:42:23.000 FDR.

00:42:23.000 Best president we ever had.

00:42:25.000 We need someone like him again.

00:42:26.000 Just like FDR. 0.72

00:42:27.000 They worship the man.

00:42:28.000 He served four terms as president, by the way, FDR, before the 22nd amendment was passed.

00:42:33.000 But he died shortly into his fourth term.

00:42:35.000 Dudes served so many terms they had to pass an amendment.

00:42:38.000 They were like, no!

00:42:38.000 Stop!

00:42:39.000 No more!

00:42:40.000 If you do so much of something that someone has to pass a constitutional amendment, you are a problem.

00:42:47.000 They say that FDR was the most fascist president.

00:42:50.000 He and Woodrow Wilson.

00:42:51.000 I don't want to derail.

00:42:52.000 No, I mean, yeah, they were bad.

00:42:55.000 Two terms?

00:42:56.000 You think that's good?

00:42:57.000 Presidents should be able to serve more than one term.

00:42:59.000 One term.

00:42:59.000 One six-year term.

00:43:00.000 One six-year term?

00:43:01.000 Yeah, think about it.

00:43:02.000 I mean, I'm not entirely fully settled on this.

00:43:04.000 I just think, you know, in terms of the president having to run for re-election, When you get into the last two years of their four-year term, it turns into silly season.

00:43:13.000 And people start cutting checks for, OK, what vote do I need?

00:43:17.000 OK, I need minorities in Wisconsin. 0.93

00:43:19.000 Wisconsin, what do they need? 0.91

00:43:21.000 And then federal money goes to them.

00:43:24.000 You get rid of that with one six-year presidential term.

00:43:26.000 Now, that is assuming that I believe the president should have as much power as he does, which I do not, or she does.

00:43:34.000 That's really insightful.

00:43:36.000 It's very muddling to have a president running for office and trying to be the president.

00:43:40.000 Yeah.

00:43:41.000 Well, and I feel like... I don't know, that doesn't seem crazy, one six-year term.

00:43:46.000 Like, it seems like a... yeah.

00:43:48.000 It's a good compromise.

00:43:49.000 You think one four-year term is just not enough?

00:43:52.000 Well, one four-year term is your... I don't know.

00:43:55.000 I can be swayed.

00:43:57.000 Yeah, things happen fast now.

00:43:58.000 They happen a lot faster than they used to.

00:43:59.000 Information travels a lot faster.

00:44:02.000 When they push stuff off, they start pushing stuff off on what they plan to get done, right?

00:44:07.000 So they're like, oh, well, we'll focus on that for the second term.

00:44:09.000 So they start pushing stuff on the agenda off until term two, you know, under the context that they're actually going to win.

00:44:15.000 So if you give them one six-year term, that forces them to do all that they want to work on right then and then.

00:44:20.000 But then how do you talk about, like, Congress and the Senate?

00:44:23.000 Would that be along the same lines as, like, You don't get deep into the weeds there.

00:44:30.000 So this ad, the Good Night America thing, was put up on October 22nd, 2020.

00:44:34.000 I just think it's funny that they...

00:44:40.000 They make this ad, and in 2019, we had the best numbers of our lives in the economy.

00:44:46.000 And so the worst thing they could think of was that Trump would just win again because they had no real argument against him.

00:44:53.000 Honestly, you'd ask people like, OK, what don't you like about Trump? 0.94

00:44:56.000 And they'd be like, he's a fascist or whatever. 0.63

00:44:58.000 They wouldn't give you a real reason.

00:45:00.000 That's why I think they made this ad, because they were like, people don't know why they hate Trump.

00:45:04.000 They just want him to go away.

00:45:05.000 And they don't want him to go away because people are screaming in their ears in the media.

00:45:10.000 So they voted for a guy who tanked the economy, who is driving gas prices through the roof, apparently is conversing on the finer links to porn with his child.

00:45:22.000 Just, I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and so now here we are.

00:45:26.000 The average person, I mean, man.

00:45:28.000 Spending like, what, you're gonna spend like 70 to 100 bucks to fill up your gas tank?

00:45:32.000 But hey!

00:45:33.000 Three, three terms of Trump.

00:45:35.000 Oh, that would have been the worst, right?

00:45:37.000 There was, uh, like literally the other day I was scrolling Instagram and I had three stories in a row where it was like friends posting their gas, like filling up their gas tank where it's like going over $80 and says, thanks Joe Biden.

00:45:48.000 And like all three of them were like, like one had like a sticker on it.

00:45:51.000 One said, thanks Joe Biden.

00:45:52.000 The other one just was like a middle finger.

00:45:53.000 And it was just all people focusing on the fact that they can't afford to drive anymore.

00:45:57.000 I think the Federal Reserve has been planning to crash this for a while, and they're blaming Trump and Biden, and they're making us blame Trump and Biden.

00:46:04.000 And this has just been a fascist move since they know it was falling apart.

00:46:07.000 Who's blaming Trump?

00:46:09.000 Well, some people.

00:46:10.000 Some people, they just hate him.

00:46:12.000 But these guys are not the ones that caused this.

00:46:15.000 This is like banking cartels.

00:46:17.000 I think the QAnon people who think he had a third term are blaming him.

00:46:20.000 They're like, why is he letting this happen?

00:46:22.000 That was actually one of the things I will give.

00:46:25.000 What was that guy's name?

00:46:26.000 Jordan Klepper?

00:46:27.000 Is that his name?

00:46:28.000 He talks to a QAnon guy and he's like, so you think Trump is really the president?

00:46:32.000 He's like, yes, he is.

00:46:33.000 He's like, why is he making gas prices so high?

00:46:35.000 And the guy's like, no, that's Joe Biden.

00:46:36.000 He's like, but you said that Trump was president.

00:46:38.000 I'm like, yeah, OK, those people.

00:46:40.000 But let's talk about what's going to happen in November.

00:46:42.000 So Joe Rogan on his show said he's a liberal.

00:46:45.000 Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks responds.

00:46:46.000 He says, it's amazing how unaware people are.

00:46:49.000 Joe Rogan just said, quote, I'm so liberal, like I talk about it all the time, like I am not a conservative.

00:46:54.000 Based on what?

00:46:55.000 All he's done for the past two years is extreme right-wing propaganda.

00:46:58.000 But in his mind, he's still a compassionate liberal.

00:47:00.000 I can't name a single thing Rogan was in the news for in the last two years that was a left-wing position.

00:47:06.000 I can't name a single thing he has criticized the right-wing for. 0.95

00:47:08.000 He still promotes lunatic right-winger Alex Jones, and in his mind, he's on the left, hilarious and ridiculous. 0.96

00:47:14.000 Hold on, can I say something? 0.70

00:47:15.000 Yes, Cenk, there's a reason for that, because the status quo within the dominant media culture is that you do not get to say things that are right-leaning.

00:47:23.000 So of course he's not going to be in the news for any of his left-wing opinions.

00:47:26.000 That's not true, though.

00:47:26.000 You don't get in trouble for that!

00:47:27.000 That's not true.

00:47:28.000 Joe was in the news for tons of left-wing stuff, supporting Bernie Sanders, supporting Andrew Yang, and supporting universal basic income numerous times.

00:47:35.000 The issue is that Cenk doesn't actually read the news.

00:47:38.000 He hears the news from someone else.

00:47:40.000 And so when they're like, did you hear Joe Rogan said a naughty word?

00:47:43.000 He goes, that's the news.

00:47:45.000 When you actually go to the news websites, you're like, oh, Joe Rogan's promoting universal basic income, which is almost socialism.

00:47:52.000 And he says, not promoting left-wing ideas.

00:47:56.000 Fair enough, but also the stories that have been the biggest, the ones that have been the most controversial, and the ones that have resulted in people coming after him and thus became giant stories were all the ones where we had right-wing perspectives because those are the ones you are not allowed to have.

00:48:08.000 Dude, it's the Elon meme.

00:48:10.000 It's the Elon meme of like, the left has gone so much further to the left that people- And authoritarians.

00:48:15.000 Yeah, the Joe Rogans of the world who kind of just stayed put, the Joe Rogans, the Bill Mahers, are kind of like, no, you guys changed a lot.

00:48:22.000 And so in his mind, I can see him still thinking that he's a, I don't know if you'd call himself progressive, but liberal-minded. I can see him thinking that.

00:48:29.000 I say it all the time.

00:48:31.000 People who don't read the news versus people who do their research.

00:48:35.000 Granted, reading the news might not inform you.

00:48:37.000 This is an example of Cenk. He doesn't say that Rogan has not said a left-wing view.

00:48:41.000 He says, I can't name one.

00:48:43.000 Because he hasn't been following him. He hasn't been listening to him.

00:48:45.000 Exactly the point.

00:48:47.000 So you see Cenk Uygur, he comes out and he criticizes Joe Rogan saying he's only spewing right-wing propaganda.

00:48:53.000 Fast Company wrote an article a couple weeks ago saying why you need to beware of right-wing comedy like Joe Rogan or something like that.

00:49:00.000 No, I'll pull it up in a second.

00:49:03.000 If you don't actually investigate, if you don't actually listen to people, and you just believe the narrative machine, well then of course Cenk is surprised by this.

00:49:12.000 Do you think the news has gotten more dishonest, or it was always this dishonest?

00:49:18.000 It was always.

00:49:19.000 Always, yeah.

00:49:20.000 They've just become more overt in certain ways, and there are also different audiences they've decided to pander to that have made it more obvious to us that they're dishonest.

00:49:26.000 Take a look at this from Fast Company.

00:49:28.000 Why you need to take right-wing comedy seriously.

00:49:31.000 From Joe Rogan to the Babylon Bee to Steven Crowder, the new book That's Not Funny deconstructs their appeal and why it matters.

00:49:38.000 Yo, Joe Rogan was a famous comedian 20 years ago.

00:49:41.000 Like, what do you mean, right-wing?

00:49:43.000 He was on NewsRadio.

00:49:45.000 He's hilarious.

00:49:45.000 He's got Netflix specials.

00:49:47.000 He does stand-up.

00:49:47.000 He's on Fear Factor.

00:49:48.000 He's not a right-wing guy.

00:49:49.000 He's never been.

00:49:51.000 If you can't realize that this mainstream sitcom comedian hosting these shows, who is a liberal, if you can't see that you've moved on this one, I don't know how I can help you.

00:50:05.000 Do you think it's a publicity thing?

00:50:06.000 Do you think Jake is trying to create controversy with the biggest podcast in the world?

00:50:11.000 No.

00:50:11.000 To get attention?

00:50:11.000 I do.

00:50:12.000 I don't think so.

00:50:13.000 He's not helping people with that tweet.

00:50:15.000 He's just getting attention.

00:50:16.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:50:17.000 He was trending on Twitter today.

00:50:18.000 I think... Listen.

00:50:20.000 If you live in a world where you only hear from the establishment machine and you think Joe Rogan is right-wing because you don't actually investigate anything he said, you're going to get frustrated.

00:50:31.000 You're going to get angry.

00:50:32.000 That anger that we feel about Joe Biden doing illicit business dealings with Ukraine and China through his son, about the quid pro quo with the prosecutor in Ukraine, with the president.

00:50:43.000 Fire the prosecutor, you're not getting the billion dollars, which he had no authority to do.

00:50:46.000 I get angry because there's no accountability.

00:50:48.000 Of course.

00:50:49.000 Russiagate.

00:50:49.000 I get angry.

00:50:50.000 There's no accountability.

00:50:51.000 But hey!

00:50:52.000 You know what?

00:50:53.000 We've investigated these stories.

00:50:55.000 I've looked up a bunch of facts.

00:50:56.000 I've seen sworn affidavits on the Ukraine-Biden scandal.

00:51:02.000 And so I say, I believe beyond a reasonable doubt that there was illicit business dealings here.

00:51:08.000 In order for there to be accountability, we now need a legitimate investigation to determine that.

00:51:11.000 But I am angry because it's not happening.

00:51:13.000 There is actual probable cause.

00:51:16.000 Joe Biden had no authority to do that.

00:51:18.000 He did it.

00:51:18.000 He admitted it on camera.

00:51:20.000 The prosecutor signed a sworn affidavit saying he did it.

00:51:22.000 Courts ruled Ukraine were meddling.

00:51:24.000 All of that stuff, and I say, I want accountability.

00:51:26.000 Cenk Uygur hears narrative garbage nonsense without fact-checking and says, Joe Biden is right-wing, and he's genuinely angry about it.

00:51:32.000 Oh, you said Joe Biden. 0.96

00:51:33.000 Joe Rogan.

00:51:34.000 Joe Rogan.

00:51:35.000 Sorry, Joe Rogan.

00:51:36.000 But, you know, maybe... Genuinely... Joe Biden, you know... I think he's... I think... I think Cenk...

00:51:41.000 You know what I think happens is he lives in this narrative world of the corporate press and the ground keeps dropping out beneath his feet.

00:51:50.000 Like when Trump won.

00:51:52.000 Everyone's seen that compilation video of the Young Turks losing it because Trump broke them.

00:51:57.000 They couldn't believe it.

00:51:59.000 They had been told over and over again what was true and what was going to happen.

00:52:03.000 I gotta talk to Cenk about, or Cenk rather, sorry Cenk, about Hillary's emails. 0.96

00:52:07.000 When that dropped and they went to WikiLeaks, like, what did that, because I remember him talking about it or at least acknowledging it and being like, well the DNC's complete trash.

00:52:15.000 But like, where is he?

00:52:16.000 Why is he still not like, okay, let's go deep on the military-industrial complex now.

00:52:21.000 Instead he's like, still hung up on the partisanship.

00:52:24.000 It's tribalism versus principle.

00:52:26.000 A principled person says, you know, I'm not a fan of the Republicans, but hey, if they're destroying public records, Trump was accused of something similar with cell phones or whatever.

00:52:35.000 I'm like, yeah, we should, we should know about that.

00:52:36.000 That's, that's, you know, we need to hear about that.

00:52:39.000 It doesn't happen.

00:52:40.000 When you, you've got the tribal side that says, we ignore what our side does.

00:52:44.000 We only care if your side does it.

00:52:45.000 Well, that doesn't help your side.

00:52:47.000 Like, making bad faith arguments or completely ignoring things doesn't help you.

00:52:52.000 Well, maybe.

00:52:53.000 I think what we're seeing now is that the two factions are increasingly becoming NPCs versus player characters.

00:53:00.000 So, that's why I say the uninitiated versus the discerning.

00:53:03.000 People who see the news and say, I don't know if I believe that, I'm gonna fact check it.

00:53:07.000 Versus people who are like, wow, that's true.

00:53:09.000 They lied to me a hundred times, but I'll believe it this time.

00:53:11.000 And then you end up fighting over it.

00:53:14.000 I mean, look, I gotta tell you, when we bring up the left says the exact same things about the right, the

00:53:19.000 right says about the left and it's like, who's right?

00:53:21.000 And I've heard this from these politically uninitiated people who are like,

00:53:25.000 I'm not, you know, on the left, but the right says the exact same thing

00:53:29.000 and you gotta- no no no no no no no.

00:53:31.000 Jussie Smollett obviously was a hoax. 0.99

00:53:33.000 Covington kids, hoax.

00:53:35.000 Hands Up Don't Shoot, hoax.

00:53:37.000 Russiagate, Ukrainegate, we go through the list all the time.

00:53:39.000 At a certain point you might be like, huh, the things the left believes tend to be false.

00:53:45.000 How about that?

00:53:46.000 And then maybe then you can be like, maybe there's a reason why politically homeless, post-liberals, moderates, libertarians, and conservatives all occupy a similar space.

00:53:55.000 Maybe there's a reason Christian conservative and traditional liberal can sit in a room and agree and make jokes with each other, because we know, for the most part, What is true and what isn't.

00:54:04.000 They don't.

00:54:04.000 They don't understand.

00:54:06.000 So everyone must be far right.

00:54:07.000 Even Joe Rogan.

00:54:09.000 Joe Rogan has been pro-universal basic income.

00:54:12.000 Let me tell you, Joe Rogan wants the government to issue blanket checks to all people to give them cash to live off of.

00:54:20.000 And bro, if that is right-wing, then I don't know what left-wing even is.

00:54:24.000 Also, I don't think you can be in favor of legal abortion and be considered a conservative.

00:54:29.000 I'm sorry.

00:54:30.000 And like, he doesn't call himself one, but they do.

00:54:32.000 It's like, that's not a conservative position.

00:54:34.000 At all.

00:54:35.000 Like, if anything's not conservative, it's that.

00:54:37.000 Well, I'll tell you, man, it's like the modern left just says whatever the modern left says.

00:54:43.000 Yeah.

00:54:44.000 So that's why when you talk to these people, they argue with me, these progressives, Tim, late term abortion never happens.

00:54:51.000 Why are you even talking about it?

00:54:52.000 And I'm like, because you just said women should be able to do it. 1.00

00:54:55.000 Still be able to do it.

00:54:56.000 Well, like, do you think women should be able to have an abortion at nine months? 0.97

00:54:59.000 It's the woman's choice. 1.00

00:55:00.000 OK, well, I have an issue with that.

00:55:01.000 It never happens.

00:55:02.000 Why even bring it up?

00:55:03.000 Because you said it should.

00:55:05.000 Because you're trying to pass a law to make it happen.

00:55:07.000 Bro, there's no principle.

00:55:10.000 And that's what I think it ultimately comes down to.

00:55:12.000 There is a great filter happening right now in politics, where the people who don't read the news are drifting off to the left, and the people who do... I should say, the people who don't fact-check are drifting to the left, and people who do are drifting to the right.

00:55:24.000 Well, not only that, I think a lot of the people who don't read the news are also being pushed to the right by people on the left they see behaving absurdly.

00:55:30.000 Or, also, it's possible they're staying in the same place, but the left is moving so far to the left that they seem right-wing by comparison.

00:55:37.000 Hey, look, I'm gonna say it right now.

00:55:39.000 You know what?

00:55:39.000 You're right.

00:55:39.000 Joe Rogan's right-wing.

00:55:40.000 He is.

00:55:41.000 He's right-wing.

00:55:41.000 Fast Company says it.

00:55:43.000 So, to all of my friends who voted for Joe Biden, you, like Joe Rogan, you're conservatives.

00:55:49.000 So you're all right-wing.

00:55:51.000 No, it's too bad.

00:55:52.000 Because they will call literally every single person who's outside of their bubble of maybe 3% of the population right-wing, and then whenever our country passes any kind of legislation which is conservative, they go, this is not how a representative democracy is supposed to work.

00:56:07.000 Well, I don't know, like you spend all your time calling 95% of the population right-wing, so why would it be a threat to our democracy for more right-leaning legislation to be passed?

00:56:16.000 When they're saying our democracy, they're not talking about you.

00:56:18.000 No, they are not.

00:56:19.000 That's right.

00:56:20.000 They literally mean our.

00:56:21.000 Right.

00:56:22.000 Not yours.

00:56:23.000 This is the mistake Republicans often make.

00:56:24.000 These progressives will say, or these media personalities, it's a danger to our democracy.

00:56:29.000 They're not saying you, conservative, and them.

00:56:32.000 They're not saying the American people.

00:56:34.000 They're saying it's a threat to the cult's efforts at building a cult democracy.

00:56:39.000 You know what?

00:56:39.000 I think having two parties is a threat to their democracy.

00:56:42.000 It should just be one.

00:56:43.000 Right?

00:56:44.000 It should just be the Democratic Party. 0.57

00:56:45.000 Then there'd never be another threat to our democracy again.

00:56:47.000 The Democratic Party of the American people or the Democratic People's Party of America?

00:56:51.000 That's right.

00:56:52.000 Something like that.

00:56:53.000 Like the People's Party.

00:56:54.000 The Democrats represent the people.

00:56:55.000 Like the People's Party of the United States.

00:56:57.000 The People's Republic!

00:56:59.000 Hey, there you go.

00:57:00.000 The Democratic People's Republic of America.

00:57:02.000 I think.

00:57:03.000 I love it.

00:57:04.000 Interesting.

00:57:05.000 Wow.

00:57:06.000 I would also hazard a guess that the average person, the politically uninitiated, doesn't know that any of those are hoaxes, except for maybe the Smollett one.

00:57:13.000 Right.

00:57:14.000 Probably.

00:57:15.000 If you polled, the average person says, I don't pay attention to politics.

00:57:18.000 I don't know what's going on.

00:57:19.000 And probably only because Dave Chappelle pointed it out.

00:57:23.000 Let me, let me, let me, let me.

00:57:25.000 I'm gonna ask you, Joe Bob, a question.

00:57:26.000 Nobody chime in.

00:57:27.000 This is a question for Joe Bob.

00:57:28.000 Uh oh.

00:57:29.000 How many buildings fell on 9-11?

00:57:32.000 Fell completely?

00:57:33.000 Yeah, collapsed.

00:57:35.000 Uh, three?

00:57:36.000 You are correct, good sir.

00:57:37.000 Most people don't know that.

00:57:38.000 Now, I'm not trying to start a conversation around 9-11, I'm trying to point out that one of the most culturally significant historical moments, and most people would say two.

00:57:45.000 Because they didn't actually look into what happened.

00:57:48.000 But, I'll tell you this, a lot of these people would say, never forget, but they never learned in the first place.

00:57:52.000 So, in that same line, I was hanging out with a couple friends, I'll be vague, and they were shocked that Not five or six police officers died in the J6 riots.

00:58:06.000 That's what they thought.

00:58:07.000 Right.

00:58:08.000 And they were like, I was like, no, no, no, there's, I mean, there's some complications with identifying what caused the police officer's death.

00:58:18.000 I'm fuzzing up the... He had a stroke or something?

00:58:21.000 Yeah, a stroke afterward or something like that.

00:58:23.000 A day later?

00:58:23.000 Yeah, something like that.

00:58:24.000 But in their mind, Five or six cops were killed that day.

00:58:28.000 Yeah.

00:58:28.000 Ethan Klein just tweeted in response to Donald Trump that Trump incited an insurrection that

00:58:34.000 killed six people and it's like, what are you talking about?

00:58:37.000 You're talking about like, well some dude fell, some lady got trampled, and then Ashley

00:58:43.000 Babbitt, I think, got shot.

00:58:45.000 Well I'm not saying that at all lightens what happened that day.

00:58:50.000 I'm just saying, factually, it's just incorrect.

00:58:53.000 Right now, the Daily Beast has been downranked by NewsGuard.

00:58:56.000 They're a fake news website now.

00:58:58.000 They got the red exclamation point because they completely fabricated or just fell for the Kyle Rittenhouse lies. 0.93

00:59:04.000 So there were articles written that said Kyle Rittenhouse killed black people.

00:59:08.000 And they just made it up? 0.89

00:59:10.000 That was another thing.

00:59:11.000 These people live in a weirdo world, man. 0.98

00:59:12.000 A group of friends that I have in California thought Kyle Rittenhouse shot a couple black people. 0.97

00:59:19.000 I understand how you would think that, if you're barely paying attention.

00:59:22.000 You know you were saying you were feeling anger when you thought about the Ukraine stuff with Biden and how other

00:59:28.000 people just don't get it?

00:59:30.000 I felt like that about 9-11 after the buildings came down and it was just like, okay, the investigation's over,

00:59:35.000 nothing bad happened, it was just a couple of planes.

00:59:37.000 And I was like, well, a couple of planes, three buildings, and no one. It was like near impossible to find people that

00:59:44.000 actually cared about it.

00:59:45.000 And I was like, I went to anger and depression.

00:59:47.000 So from like 2007, 8, 9, 10, I was suicidal.

00:59:51.000 Like people are really, they really don't care.

00:59:54.000 And now I've gotten past that and I care.

00:59:57.000 I'm just going to do what I can, even though I'm disillusioned.

00:59:59.000 It's the same thing.

01:00:00.000 The only thing they cared about was adhering to the social norms and narrative to fit in.

01:00:06.000 So if you said something like, hey, I think we need a better investigation into this, because, like, we spent more money, I think, on Bill Clinton, you know, banging an intern than we did on that, and then they'd be like, what are you saying? 0.95

01:00:17.000 This is ridiculous.

01:00:18.000 I was sitting down with some journalists, and this was in, um, was it 2012? 0.58

01:00:21.000 When did we get Osama Bin Laden? 0.60

01:00:24.000 Was that 2012?

01:00:24.000 I think so.

01:00:26.000 I believe it was 2011.

01:00:26.000 2013?

01:00:27.000 I'm not sure.

01:00:27.000 I remember being in college at the time.

01:00:28.000 It might have been 2011.

01:00:32.000 Yeah, pull that one up.

01:00:34.000 I'm sitting with a bunch of journalists, and we're at a bar.

01:00:37.000 Yeah, 2011.

01:00:37.000 2011, okay.

01:00:38.000 I was at a bar in New York, and then someone was bringing up the story, and I laughed, and I said, man, that whole thing played out like a bad action movie.

01:00:44.000 And then this journalist gets really angry and goes, I AM SICK OF HEARING THIS CONSPIRACY ABOUT- And I was like, whoa, whoa!

01:00:51.000 What are you talking about?

01:00:53.000 And he's like, you're acting like it didn't happen.

01:00:54.000 You're claiming it didn't.

01:00:55.000 I was like, I didn't say that at all.

01:00:58.000 I said that whole thing played out like a bad action movie.

01:01:00.000 Did you read the story on what happened with like, he grabbed his wife, then he didn't grab his wife, and they dumped his butt out of a helicopter?

01:01:06.000 And he was like, yeah.

01:01:06.000 And I'm like, yeah, sounds like a bad action movie.

01:01:08.000 And they're like, but it happened.

01:01:09.000 I was like, I didn't say it didn't.

01:01:10.000 Dude, calm down.

01:01:11.000 Anything that deviated from the approved norm, people just snapped.

01:01:14.000 They're like, don't deviate from machine.

01:01:18.000 And I'm like, bro, think.

01:01:19.000 Chill.

01:01:20.000 Why are you getting so angry about this?

01:01:22.000 This is what happens to people when anything threatens their constructed worldview.

01:01:27.000 So what's happening now is with people who have the ability to read information on the internet, fact check things for themselves and be like, Oh yeah, look at this.

01:01:34.000 Joe Biden did say, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting a billion dollars.

01:01:39.000 Wow.

01:01:39.000 The media lied to me.

01:01:40.000 The people who don't want to hear it plug their ears and go la la la la la la.

01:01:44.000 And then when you say it to them, they get angry. 1.00

01:01:46.000 Shut up! 1.00

01:01:47.000 You're challenging my worldview! 0.99

01:01:49.000 Brandon Strzok told us the other day how he ended up walking away from the Democrats because someone told him that Trump never mocked a disabled reporter.

01:01:56.000 And he was like, yes, he did.

01:01:57.000 We saw him do it.

01:01:58.000 I've seen the video.

01:02:00.000 And he didn't want to watch the video.

01:02:02.000 And so he said, OK, I'm going to watch this.

01:02:03.000 It's going to be obvious propaganda.

01:02:05.000 And he said when he watched it, it actually hurt.

01:02:08.000 It hurt him.

01:02:10.000 He experienced pain from realizing his worldview was wrong and he couldn't deny it anymore.

01:02:17.000 How, what do you guys think of what is the, on a scale of 1 to 10 throughout history,

01:02:23.000 where is politics just in general at right now?

01:02:28.000 In the country.

01:02:29.000 What do you mean, at?

01:02:29.000 Like, what is 1 and what is 10?

01:02:32.000 10 being like, everybody's talking about it all the time, and 1 is nobody's 10.

01:02:36.000 No, no.

01:02:37.000 We're in it, that's why it seems like that.

01:02:40.000 I would say somewhere between 4 and 6.

01:02:41.000 No, it's a 10.

01:02:43.000 So, okay, so let's operate on that really quick.

01:02:45.000 Maybe it's a relativity scale, maybe.

01:02:47.000 But like, World War II, I would have thought it was more. 0.70

01:02:50.000 It's a 10 right now.

01:02:51.000 And I say that because that doesn't mean everyone at all times absolutely only talks about politics.

01:02:56.000 Obviously, you know, Brett talks about pop culture stuff on Pop Culture Crisis.

01:03:00.000 But what I mean is, when you see podcasters who got started Well, so, let's just pretend there was an election and let's just say one candidate got, I don't know, 80 million votes.

01:03:11.000 And the other candidate, say, got 80 million votes.

01:03:13.000 How many people are there in the United States of America?

01:03:15.000 320.

01:03:16.000 So that's about half the people voted.

01:03:18.000 How many are voting age?

01:03:19.000 200?

01:03:20.000 So you discount the people under 18.

01:03:22.000 But even then, like, let's just say, hypothetically, 40% of people don't vote.

01:03:27.000 Actually, I think that might be the voting age block.

01:03:30.000 No way.

01:03:34.000 Now, obviously, the, uh, uh, let's see, 252 million people are voting age.

01:03:41.000 Yeah, okay, so two-thirds of the voting age population, I think.

01:03:44.000 So what is that, 100 million people don't vote?

01:03:47.000 Something like that, yeah.

01:03:48.000 240 million people were eligible, 66% submitted ballots.

01:03:50.000 158 million.

01:03:55.000 That's a huge number, right?

01:03:57.000 And especially given the fact that it seems like we're inundated constantly with political discussion, political discourse, whatever you want to call it, and still a huge percentage of people don't vote.

01:04:10.000 I got an idea.

01:04:11.000 Here's what we do.

01:04:14.000 If people don't vote, and the amount of people who don't vote is greater than the greatest amount of votes for a single candidate, then there's no president.

01:04:25.000 Can we just skip to that part?

01:04:27.000 66.1% of people submitted ballots.

01:04:29.000 it stops. 66.1% of people submitted ballots. That means didn't vote would have won.

01:04:37.000 Well here's what I think we need to do.

01:04:40.000 We need to have a third option on the ballot that says literally anyone else.

01:04:44.000 And if you pick it, if it wins, a random person from the population is selected and they are the president.

01:04:50.000 It's called Demarchy.

01:04:57.000 Demarchy would be like, you'd get Congress duty.

01:05:00.000 It's like one day you go to your mailbox and you got like a certified letter and it's like you've been chosen for Congress duty and you're like, ugh.

01:05:06.000 I mean, I'm going to Capitol Hill.

01:05:08.000 I've been chosen for Congress duty.

01:05:09.000 You know, you're there for a couple months.

01:05:11.000 That honestly would be terrible.

01:05:12.000 But what I think I think what I'm trying to get at ultimately is that there's this huge attempt to push people to one side or the other by the respective sides to pull people into their side or push people to their side or whatever it is that you want to call it.

01:05:27.000 While in reality, everything is based on turnout.

01:05:31.000 Are people going to show up and are people going to turn out in terms of running actual campaigns?

01:05:36.000 Especially at the local level, you don't really care about changing the mind about somebody who's not registered your particular party, whatever candidate you're running.

01:05:44.000 You're really caring about turning the people out who you already know are going to vote for you.

01:05:50.000 And so I feel like that's part of the big reason why the political rhetoric is so heated, because it's not about convincing people To your ideas.

01:06:01.000 It's getting the people who already agree with you to just show up.

01:06:04.000 Here's a fascinating thing.

01:06:06.000 In order for conservatives to win more voters, they need only convince a person to... Do nothing.

01:06:12.000 No, no, no.

01:06:13.000 To search for the information on their own.

01:06:15.000 To take the initiative upon themselves, read the news.

01:06:19.000 The left needs to strictly control the news and make sure they don't get access to what's really going on.

01:06:24.000 And also, what is most important to them is flooding the voting booths with uninformed people. 0.73

01:06:30.000 So this is why you constantly see get-out-and-vote campaigns where some left-wing celebrity, which is to say most if not all of them, is on screen telling you that you need to get out there and vote.

01:06:39.000 Because they know if somebody needs a celebrity to tell them to vote, they don't know anything about politics, and they are therefore going to choose whoever the Democrats are putting up.

01:06:50.000 That's going to backfire on them.

01:06:51.000 You're right.

01:06:52.000 That is absolutely happening.

01:06:53.000 I think that's going to backfire on them.

01:06:55.000 Currently, you've got the border situation being what it is.

01:06:59.000 There's the argument made that the conservatives want the labor, the liberals want the votes.

01:07:04.000 Especially when it comes to Hispanics, we've seen the demographic shifting heavily, heavily towards the whole conservative side.

01:07:16.000 Meaning that a bunch of liberals are trying to depend on those votes incoming, and it's gonna backfire.

01:07:23.000 Because I think the left has gone so far left, you've got a family-oriented, generally heavily religious population, who they used to send get-out-the-vote campaigns to their community, all of a sudden realizing, holy cow, these guys are way, way, way more left than I want, and I honestly think it's going to backfire.

01:07:42.000 Yeah, people are questioning the narrative way more than they were a decade ago.

01:07:47.000 In 2009, part of the reason why I was disillusioned with life is because no one, it seemed like 7% of the people cared.

01:07:52.000 Now it's like 20, 28, 27% of the people.

01:07:53.000 It's enough.

01:07:53.000 Now it's like 20, 28, 27% of the people.

01:07:57.000 It's enough.

01:07:58.000 It's enough people.

01:07:59.000 And those people, I used to be Democrat, Brandon Strzok, my parents, they know.

01:08:05.000 They will question nonsense.

01:08:06.000 They will question the things they're told, and that's their old school liberals, man.

01:08:10.000 Not everybody, though.

01:08:11.000 Probably more on every night, though, when shows like this exist.

01:08:14.000 A lot of people are like, I watch CNN, they don't lie.

01:08:16.000 But they do.

01:08:19.000 Do you think that Democrats or liberals, whatever you want, I don't like labels necessarily,

01:08:24.000 but do you think the left as a side has another Barack Obama somewhere? Because Barack Obama was,

01:08:33.000 whether or not you agree with his policies, a political superstar.

01:08:39.000 Like, fantastic at making you feel good.

01:08:42.000 And like we're all saying, that's what's driving people to the polls on the left side of the aisle.

01:08:47.000 Do you think they have one of those in the wings?

01:08:49.000 Because we were talking about the 2024 election downstairs, and what happens there?

01:08:55.000 Currently, I don't see a Democrat frontrunner.

01:08:57.000 Yeah, they need a guy, unfortunately. 0.87

01:08:59.000 I think society has a lot of disillusioned young men, and that's why they're attracted to Donald Trump.

01:09:03.000 He's a strong male figure.

01:09:04.000 Michelle's great, personality-wise. 0.97

01:09:07.000 Great like Obama was great, but I don't know if she would appeal to those young men, which Obama did in spades. 0.64

01:09:12.000 Oh, totally. 0.94

01:09:13.000 The only other one I can see is, like, Beto O'Rourke, but he's such trash these days, I don't think.

01:09:18.000 I could see them trying to push him, though, but he's just not charismatic. 0.85

01:09:21.000 No way.

01:09:21.000 He's also too just out there.

01:09:23.000 There's too much baggage there.

01:09:25.000 He's so bad.

01:09:25.000 Yeah, he's got way too many problems.

01:09:26.000 Check this out.

01:09:27.000 I got this here tweet!

01:09:28.000 Oh, yeah.

01:09:28.000 From David Hookstead.

01:09:30.000 David is, uh, let's see, what is his name?

01:09:32.000 Oh, okay, so you know him.

01:09:33.000 Yeah.

01:09:33.000 He says, Beto O'Rourke says people who currently own semi-automatic rifles should have them confiscated.

01:09:38.000 Oh.

01:09:38.000 22 seconds.

01:09:39.000 Let's hear what Mr. O'Rourke has to say.

01:09:41.000 I just took the position that may not be politically popular, maybe too honest, that not only should no one be able to purchase an AR-15 or an AK-47 because they're designed to kill humans in that high-impact, high-velocity round.

01:09:54.000 We'll just tear up everything inside.

01:09:55.000 You'll bleed out before we can get you back to life.

01:09:58.000 uh... but i don't think the people who have the right now to use

01:10:02.000 should be able to keep them i just took the now i wonder if there's more to that but

01:10:06.000 come on this is a guy said heck yeah we're taking your air fifteen itself so

01:10:09.000 now apparently is coming back out saying is in a confiscate your weapons you know

01:10:13.000 they line the same no one's talking about taking your guns and they're like

01:10:16.000 oh yeah we will on the internet internal polling shows

01:10:20.000 shows that liberal so conservatives are overwhelmingly pro-gun and democrats are

01:10:24.000 split so that overwhelming majority this country is like now we

01:10:26.000 want to keep our guns yeah and they come out these fake stats where they're

01:10:29.000 like most people support background checks like

01:10:32.000 okay yet we have those already so what do you mean by that they're

01:10:36.000 like well when we ask people

01:10:39.000 So it's almost a Mount and Bailey.

01:10:42.000 They'll say, well, no, no, no, we mean restricting private sales requiring background checks there.

01:10:46.000 And I'm like, that's not what you asked people in the poll.

01:10:49.000 In the poll it said, do you think there should be background checks for gun buyers?

01:10:53.000 And they say, yes.

01:10:54.000 You didn't get specific because at almost every single point of sale, there's going to be a background check. 0.97

01:11:00.000 Then they say, no, no, no, no, we mean, shut up.

01:11:02.000 You want a registry. 0.96

01:11:03.000 That's what they want.

01:11:05.000 I just think Beto wants attention.

01:11:07.000 The stunt that he pulled at the press conference, I'm sure you guys covered that, where he walked up and talked.

01:11:14.000 It's just a publicity stunt, and I don't like stuff like that being made political.

01:11:18.000 Also, just for the sake of being fair, I also didn't like when Governor Abbott used the shooter's name immediately after it happened.

01:11:25.000 I didn't like that either.

01:11:26.000 I thought we were all on the same page, like we're not going to glorify these people.

01:11:29.000 I want to pull up this tweet from Jonathan Haidt, because we're fans of his husband, but he has one of the worst tweets I've ever seen.

01:11:35.000 He said, The best thing I've ever read about reducing gun violence

01:11:38.000 is this 2017 essay by Nick Kristoff, recently updated.

01:11:42.000 If we take a public health approach modeled after cars, there is so much we can do even in a divided country.

01:11:47.000 WRONG! 0.86

01:11:49.000 And I'll tell you why.

01:11:51.000 Here's what he's proposing.

01:11:52.000 Background checks.

01:11:53.000 22% of guns are obtained without one.

01:11:55.000 And you need a background check at any federally licensed dealer.

01:11:59.000 There are some private sales.

01:12:00.000 But whenever they're talking about these tragic events, they were purchased legally.

01:12:06.000 Background checks didn't change it.

01:12:07.000 Safe storage.

01:12:08.000 Trigger locks, as well as guns and ammunition, stored separately, especially when children are in the house.

01:12:13.000 Well, that's great!

01:12:14.000 Someone kicks your door in the middle of the night, and they're going to violate your wife, and you're like, hold on!

01:12:18.000 I need to open the safe with the bullets, then open the safe with the gun, then load the... rifle, and then I can save you, honey.

01:12:26.000 End immunity for firearm companies.

01:12:28.000 That's a subsidy to a particular industry.

01:12:30.000 No, it isn't!

01:12:31.000 It makes no sense.

01:12:32.000 What are we going to do?

01:12:33.000 If someone manufactures glass bottles and then someone uses that to crack someone over the head, you sue the bottle maker?

01:12:38.000 It's like you're not supposed to commit crimes.

01:12:41.000 Protection orders.

01:12:42.000 Keep men who are subject to domestic violence protection orders from having guns.

01:12:45.000 We already do.

01:12:46.000 Straw purchases.

01:12:47.000 We already don't allow that.

01:12:48.000 Ban bump stocks.

01:12:49.000 Okay, that actually happened under Trump, but that makes no sense because Full auto was never a big issue here.

01:12:56.000 Ban under 21s. 1.00

01:12:57.000 Constitutional violation.

01:12:59.000 Ammunition checks.

01:13:00.000 Experimentation with a one-time background check for anybody buying ammo.

01:13:04.000 We already have background checks on people buying weapons.

01:13:06.000 What would that accomplish?

01:13:07.000 Research smart guns.

01:13:08.000 Researching means nothing.

01:13:10.000 Doesn't mean anything.

01:13:11.000 So this is, you know, for Jonathan Haidt to say that this is, you know, even in a divided nation we can do those things.

01:13:16.000 No, you can't.

01:13:17.000 Because you have no idea what you're talking about.

01:13:19.000 I'm not going to even pretend that I know, for the most part, what I'm talking about, because I'm not even an expert on guns.

01:13:24.000 But I can look right away and be like, you have no idea what you're talking about, and that's the problem. 0.98

01:13:28.000 The ignorant Democrat voters are voting for their feelings, and they don't know anything. 0.98

01:13:33.000 We demand background checks. 1.00

01:13:34.000 Okay, you win.

01:13:36.000 Aw, you guys.

01:13:37.000 Alright, I agree.

01:13:37.000 You win.

01:13:38.000 We have background checks now.

01:13:39.000 Next.

01:13:40.000 Well, you know, these people committing crimes are breaking every law in order to do them.

01:13:45.000 Do we need more laws?

01:13:47.000 Yes.

01:13:48.000 That will do it.

01:13:49.000 I think that'll fix it.

01:13:50.000 There was a... Marco Rubio got a bunch of heat, I think in like 2015, where he... Marco Rubio's claimed that no recent mass shootings would have been prevented by gun laws.

01:14:00.000 And then Glenn Kessler of the Washington Post, the fact checker over there, not only didn't give it any Pinocchios, he gave it the rare Geppetto.

01:14:08.000 I'm like, yeah, no, he's right.

01:14:10.000 All of the mass shootings, none of that, unfortunately, would have been stopped.

01:14:16.000 I choose my words carefully here.

01:14:19.000 Marco Rubio said that none of those shootings would have been stopped by any sort of gun laws.

01:14:24.000 Even the Washington Post said, yeah, no, he was right about that. 0.94

01:14:27.000 And the problem is, what you were saying, is that people are just ignorant on the issue.

01:14:32.000 My biggest thing, too, is also just asking questions about implementation.

01:14:36.000 Oh, I just say, what's an assault weapon?

01:14:38.000 Oh, I say that, too.

01:14:39.000 The first thing I think is, if you ask the average Democrat voter what they believe an AR-15 is, they're going to tell you that the AR stands for assault rifle, and they're not going to be able to define to you that they're going to think that it's full-auto.

01:14:50.000 I would guess that most of them think that's true. So, uh, shout out to our good friend Ethan Klein. He was talking on

01:14:54.000 H3 and he was mentioning something about people going in front of Abbott's house with AR-15s and he goes, eh, eh, eh,

01:15:00.000 eh, eh, eh, eh, dididididididid. I'm like, is that what you think those things do? Yeah. No, they actually do. No

01:15:09.000 wonder you want to ban them. Well, so I, I, um, as someone who went to an art school, I am an expert on people who don't

01:15:15.000 know anything about guns, but I talk about them a lot.

01:15:15.000 And so I remember I was having a conversation.

01:15:17.000 That's like embedding to research, you know, like you're going in the tribe method.

01:15:20.000 It was like a case study kind of thing, yeah.

01:15:21.000 I went undercover.

01:15:22.000 Thanks for doing that for us.

01:15:23.000 You're welcome.

01:15:24.000 So, I was having a conversation with a friend, And she said to me that, um, she, she was like, well, I don't, I don't think that we should have like these semi-automatics.

01:15:33.000 And I was like, do you know what a semi-automatic is?

01:15:36.000 Like it's semi, fully, you pull the trigger and it sprays the bullets.

01:15:41.000 And I was like, no, no, no, that's not what any of that means.

01:15:44.000 And I tried to explain that that was not the case.

01:15:47.000 Uh, and, and their response was to just insist that we still didn't need to have them.

01:15:52.000 I wish I had the clip, but I remember watching... Cool person in other ways, by the way, but just was out to lunch on that one.

01:15:57.000 I remember watching... Jesse Smollett is trending.

01:15:58.000 Probably because of that.

01:16:00.000 He's got a new show coming out on BET+.

01:16:01.000 He's back at work.

01:16:02.000 Oh, nice.

01:16:02.000 Wait, really?

01:16:02.000 He's got a new show coming out on BET plus. He's back at work. Oh, really? Yes. Are you serious?

01:16:08.000 Yes, he's directing and starring in a show about breakdancing or something like that.

01:16:15.000 It's like an LGBTQ plus film that BET Plus is making.

01:16:19.000 No, he's trending because everyone's saying Amber Heard is Jessie Smollett.

01:16:25.000 Sorry, what were you saying?

01:16:27.000 Oh, no, last week I was watching MSNBC, one of your big cable news networks, and they were talking about gun control, and like your point, both of the anchors were like, yeah, we need gun control.

01:16:38.000 Have you ever shot a gun?

01:16:39.000 No, I've never shot a gun.

01:16:40.000 Have you shot a gun?

01:16:41.000 No, no, I would never shoot a gun.

01:16:42.000 So we have two people who've never shot a gun talking about gun control, clearly not knowing anything about the thing that they're trying to control.

01:16:50.000 They need to learn how to control guns, those two people.

01:16:54.000 Remember the reporter who got PTSD from firing an AR-15?

01:16:58.000 And then people were replying with comments of them training their young daughters to shoot it.

01:17:03.000 They're like, this is actually not that bad.

01:17:05.000 There's a video going viral of a little girl, dual wielding, I don't know what she's got, 1911s, and she's using two fingers to pull the trigger, and then they're like, this is child abuse, look what they're doing to that child, and I'm like, well, the real problem is that they're having her fire two handguns simultaneously, which is just terribly inaccurate, there's no reason to do that.

01:17:23.000 There's a meme I love, and it said, actually, maybe I can pull it up, try and find it.

01:17:28.000 I posted it on Instagram.

01:17:28.000 It was hilarious.

01:17:29.000 Does Jesse Smollett actually have a show?

01:17:31.000 I can't tell if that was true.

01:17:32.000 I forget what the name of the... Yeah, we kind of mentioned it in pod luck.

01:17:36.000 It's called MAGA Country.

01:17:37.000 It's a sitcom.

01:17:41.000 About breakdancing MAGA supporters.

01:17:43.000 That would be fantastic.

01:17:44.000 Who wander the streets of Chicago at 2 in the morning in the cold.

01:17:48.000 Here's the meme I got.

01:17:50.000 It says, children and firearm safety.

01:17:52.000 Children and guns are simply a bad idea.

01:17:54.000 Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner.

01:17:59.000 Children are much better suited to crew-served weapons.

01:18:02.000 The semi-stationary characteristic of a mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on the child's physical strength and stamina and also builds teamwork.

01:18:10.000 And it shows a little boy and little girl and it shows like a machine gun and a mortar and a thumbs up.

01:18:15.000 I actually had the thought after... I don't think that should be legal.

01:18:19.000 After this Texas... Could they fly drones from an iPad?

01:18:22.000 Yeah.

01:18:23.000 They would be better at that.

01:18:24.000 I was picturing, like, kids, third graders getting gun safety lessons in government school, if it's gonna be in the United States government schools, that, like, if a shooter comes in and kills the teacher and there's 12 kids in the class ducking for their desks, and one of the kids sees the teacher's, you know, sidearm that the teacher was killed before it could use, The kid, what, you just want him to huddle there until he gets shot?

01:18:45.000 No.

01:18:45.000 I want the kid to pick up the gun and end the shooter.

01:18:47.000 Like, I don't care if they're 9 or 15 or 21.

01:18:50.000 If they can do it, do it!

01:18:51.000 Well, let's phrase this in a legal manner.

01:18:54.000 Children should be capable of defending their lives or the lives of others.

01:18:58.000 Yeah!

01:18:59.000 Just like anyone else.

01:19:00.000 I mean, when it comes to your life, yes, they should.

01:19:04.000 Well, they want more autonomy for kids when it comes to, you know, all the stuff that they shouldn't have autonomy in.

01:19:11.000 But when it comes to like actually teaching kids to use guns like they used to in schools, like there are pictures from the 50s and 60s where middle schoolers are learning to shoot, like they're learning marksmanship.

01:19:22.000 They are competing with each other.

01:19:24.000 I think that's such a great idea.

01:19:25.000 And I wish that we hadn't gotten rid of that.

01:19:28.000 Yeah.

01:19:28.000 Welding as well.

01:19:29.000 Yeah.

01:19:30.000 Things like that.

01:19:30.000 Carpentry.

01:19:31.000 Swords.

01:19:32.000 Sword fighting.

01:19:33.000 Yeah.

01:19:33.000 We did that in college.

01:19:34.000 101 with Professor Poole?

01:19:35.000 Yeah.

01:19:35.000 Correct.

01:19:36.000 Yes.

01:19:36.000 Well, no, James Lindsay.

01:19:37.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:19:38.000 I'm like way more.

01:19:40.000 He's like trained with the Jian. 0.99

01:19:41.000 Yeah.

01:19:41.000 I'm way more bullish on gun rights for kids because after this Texas thing, man, the cops stopped them from going in and stopping it.

01:19:49.000 Like you let these kids to their own devices in a classroom as they were getting mowed down.

01:19:53.000 I am not comfortable with that.

01:19:54.000 Yo, something weird is going on there because, like, the left is entertaining conspiracy theories about what happened.

01:20:01.000 Yeah.

01:20:02.000 Tell me one.

01:20:02.000 The cops aren't cooperating anymore with the investigation.

01:20:05.000 The police stopped the intervention.

01:20:07.000 And so the left is like, what is going on?

01:20:09.000 Well, it serves their narrative because they hate cops, right?

01:20:12.000 So when you have a story about the cops barring parents from saving their kids and not going in themselves, they're like, hmm, what's this all about?

01:20:18.000 Then you've got the, uh, one of the guys involved, one of the cops, I guess, got a seat on the city council or something.

01:20:24.000 So the left has been pushing these, uh, these conspiracy theories.

01:20:26.000 Well, also, I mean, what happened there is the perfect example of what gun control does.

01:20:30.000 The police stop law abiding citizens from protecting, from protecting themselves and people they care about, while the maniac who kills people still doesn't and gets away with it.

01:20:40.000 And that is the function that those police officers served in that instance.

01:20:44.000 Yeah.

01:20:45.000 Like, obviously it would be ridiculous to give a third grader the right to open carry a handgun, but in the presence of a supervised adult that is licensed, maybe you could legalize their ability to handle one for training purposes, and then if it hits the fan, you know, and it's wartime in the classroom like it was in Texas last week, these young soldiers can defend themselves.

01:21:07.000 Young soldiers.

01:21:08.000 They have no other choice at that point.

01:21:10.000 My god, a girl smeared blood on her face and laid down so that she looked dead so that she didn't get killed? 0.88

01:21:15.000 I would have rather that she dove for a handgun and ended the guy. 1.00

01:21:19.000 No one else is going to do it.

01:21:20.000 And I have to say that I think the only way out of this is to teach everyone responsibility.

01:21:24.000 And I do mean everyone.

01:21:25.000 The only way to stop active shooters like this is to make them understand that if they walk into a shop or a store that they hope to rob or a bank, they will be met with lethal force.

01:21:34.000 There is no other way out.

01:21:35.000 I'm sorry to say it.

01:21:36.000 That is the way of the world.

01:21:37.000 We've been very protected.

01:21:38.000 We've lived in like this marshmallow utopia for a really long time.

01:21:42.000 We have a hard time seeing hard truths.

01:21:44.000 It is interesting to see, like, my friends who are all posting stuff about, like, uh, ACAB in, like, 2020 now saying, like, well, no, you don't need a gun.

01:21:51.000 Give it to the cops! 0.99

01:21:52.000 The cops are gonna show up and they're gonna save you!

01:21:54.000 And then the cops, in an instance where the cops didn't show up and save them!

01:21:57.000 I was like, it's a horrible example.

01:21:59.000 This is, like, the, the, it's like, if this, if this was, like, a police, if this was a movie about the police, this would be, like, the opposite of a movie.

01:22:04.000 It's, like, they're the, actually, the worst people on earth.

01:22:07.000 You gotta speak their language.

01:22:07.000 Here's what I say to them.

01:22:09.000 Do you think that police are racist?

01:22:10.000 Hmm.

01:22:11.000 Well, of course, yes, they say.

01:22:12.000 Okay.

01:22:13.000 Do you think that white supremacists will give up their guns if the guns are made illegal?

01:22:16.000 No, of course they won't.

01:22:17.000 Okay. 0.86

01:22:18.000 Do you think racist cops will enforce the law against white supremacists who refuse to give up their guns? 0.74

01:22:22.000 And they say, yeah, of course they won't. 0.69

01:22:24.000 Do you think that police will use the justification of gun checks to raid and violate the Fourth Amendment rights of black people?

01:22:32.000 Well, yeah.

01:22:33.000 So you're saying you want to pass a law that you think they won't, that racists won't enforce against other racists, but will be weaponized against black and brown people? 0.55

01:22:40.000 Yeah, sounds good.

01:22:42.000 I mean, that's the entirety of their narrative. 0.58

01:22:44.000 Cops are racist.

01:22:45.000 Cops protect other racists. 1.00

01:22:47.000 Cops arbitrarily enforce against black people. 0.96

01:22:49.000 So they want laws. 0.95

01:22:51.000 And I said, you know what's going to happen?

01:22:52.000 I was like, so what?

01:22:53.000 A racist cop can go to any black person's home and just say, mm, gun check, because you passed the red flag laws.

01:22:59.000 But I don't have any guns. 0.98

01:23:00.000 Well, we got to search your house.

01:23:01.000 Too bad.

01:23:02.000 I'm like, is that what you're advocating for?

01:23:04.000 All gun control is racist.

01:23:05.000 Well, left-wing positions don't involve that much forethought.

01:23:08.000 Here's what's required.

01:23:09.000 You say, I have good intentions.

01:23:12.000 Pass my law.

01:23:13.000 Okay.

01:23:13.000 Well, what is your law going to result in?

01:23:15.000 I have good intentions.

01:23:16.000 Okay.

01:23:17.000 What, what is the law going to do?

01:23:19.000 How do you enforce it?

01:23:20.000 All of the concerns you mentioned, are those yours?

01:23:22.000 But I want good thing.

01:23:23.000 I have questions about good things, Seamus.

01:23:26.000 I don't want bad things.

01:23:27.000 Why do you want bad things?

01:23:28.000 I don't want bad thing. You want bad thing. You ask questions about good thing. You want bad thing.

01:23:31.000 That is literally the entire strategy. Why do you want bad thing?

01:23:33.000 Tim Pool is on the cover of the newspaper the next day. Man want bad thing.

01:23:36.000 It's totally insane. And basically the whole idea is let's look at policy based on the intentions

01:23:43.000 and not the results or the incentives that said policy creates.

01:23:47.000 Culturally, can this be a multifaceted approach?

01:23:50.000 Like, I'm all with you on the gun side, too, but NPR, two, three years ago, did a Mass Shootings Can Be Contagious research show, which is extremely indicative of the way the media covers it, too.

01:24:01.000 Like, can we all get on the same page of how we're covering this sort of stuff?

01:24:05.000 Like, you have to talk about it.

01:24:08.000 There are people in media who want to shock to make money.

01:24:10.000 So they're not going to tell you the truth.

01:24:13.000 They're then going to accuse us of trying to shock to make money.

01:24:16.000 But the fact that they will show the face and the name of these murderers when what they want is attention.

01:24:23.000 Right.

01:24:24.000 And they'll say, here's his manifesto, read it!

01:24:26.000 Everything that he wanted, here you go!

01:24:29.000 Well, worse still is what happens is when the manifesto comes out and clearly the person's insane, the media will latch onto anything that smears the right.

01:24:35.000 Yeah.

01:24:36.000 So like, here's a guy in, uh, was it Buffalo, I think?

01:24:39.000 Yeah.

01:24:39.000 Who said he was a, he was a communist.

01:24:42.000 He outright said, it's like, I'm authoritarian left.

01:24:43.000 And they're like, he's right wing!

01:24:45.000 Like, well, he was racist.

01:24:46.000 Interesting. 0.99

01:24:47.000 But, you know... No, he was crazy!

01:24:49.000 The ADL says racism is right-wing. 0.68

01:24:52.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:24:53.000 If a racist attacks someone, it's listed as a right-wing attack.

01:24:56.000 So it's funny, like, the ADL says right-wing is anti-government.

01:24:59.000 Right-wing is like... Bad.

01:25:01.000 They want bad thing. 1.00

01:25:02.000 Right.

01:25:03.000 Racism bad, therefore racism right-wing.

01:25:05.000 But here's the thing. 0.99

01:25:06.000 A black nationalist who commits a racist murder is left-wing. 0.99

01:25:10.000 And the left was like, what? 0.99

01:25:12.000 How is that left-wing?

01:25:14.000 Ask the ADL.

01:25:15.000 It's like, black and white are left and right, I guess.

01:25:17.000 That's how they categorize things.

01:25:18.000 So, if an Asian commits a hate crime against a Hispanic, is that right-wing or left-wing?

01:25:22.000 That would probably not be listed on the ADL's website.

01:25:26.000 North.

01:25:26.000 No, I don't know.

01:25:27.000 North!

01:25:29.000 They just put a question mark on the map.

01:25:31.000 They're like, we don't know what that means, and we're not going to engage with it. 0.87

01:25:34.000 But we've had black nationalist killings.

01:25:36.000 We had one in Brooklyn, and they say it's left-wing. 0.94

01:25:39.000 It's like, but those guys have the same ideology as Hitler. 0.73

01:25:42.000 Well, you know, he was black, though. 0.63

01:25:43.000 It's like, okay. 0.98

01:25:44.000 But the white dude who hates the government. 0.74

01:25:47.000 Like, leftists hate the... Antifa are anarchists.

01:25:50.000 I shouldn't say that.

01:25:51.000 Many left-wing anarchists hate the government, and they're left... like, they're, you know, anarcho-communists or whatever.

01:25:56.000 But if the person doesn't explicitly explain that they're socialist, it's right-wing?

01:26:01.000 Yep.

01:26:01.000 Okay, dude.

01:26:02.000 I feel like a tornado of identity politics ripped my brain out of my body in the last 37 minutes.

01:26:10.000 Did you guys feel like that?

01:26:11.000 That was a great phrase.

01:26:14.000 The identity politics are thick in this one.

01:26:17.000 I don't know how to respond to it.

01:26:19.000 It's one of those things where acknowledging it causes it.

01:26:23.000 I don't think that's it.

01:26:24.000 I think we do have to acknowledge the division.

01:26:28.000 I don't know.

01:26:30.000 Well, is it identity politics to acknowledge that specific political groups are trying to do things that they've outwardly stated they're trying to do?

01:26:37.000 If you just assume everyone in the group is, like, adheres to the group authority it is.

01:26:42.000 So, if ten people walk into a bank, and they're all wearing the same outfits, and they all came in the same truck, and then nine of them commit a bank robbery, and the last guy's like, you go get them, guys!

01:26:51.000 And then you're like, you're all bank robbers.

01:26:52.000 He goes, I didn't do anything!

01:26:55.000 Or would they get arrested as charges accomplished?

01:26:57.000 Yeah, if he was the driver?

01:26:58.000 No, no, no, just someone who was hanging out.

01:27:00.000 How bad would your luck be if a group of ten people walk into a bank all wearing the same clothes, nine of them commit the robbery, and the tenth one just stands there watching and cheers them on?

01:27:08.000 I thought it was a flash mob, man.

01:27:09.000 How bad would your luck be if you just happened to be wearing the same clothing as the bank robbers that day, and you walk in and they start robbing you, and you're like, wait a minute!

01:27:16.000 You ever see the Thomas Crown Affair?

01:27:17.000 No.

01:27:18.000 When, like, the guy steals the painting and everyone's dressed in the same clothes, and so they're all moving around, and everyone's like, where'd he go?

01:27:24.000 It's him!

01:27:24.000 No, he's there, he's there!

01:27:25.000 Like, there's just some random guy who's wearing the same clothes, and he's like, ah, crap. 0.92

01:27:29.000 It's tough when I get, it's tough when we talk about the Democrats or like the left because I know there's people that are Democrat that aren't crazy and then same with the right. 0.69

01:27:38.000 Right, but that's why we say they're NPCs.

01:27:41.000 Because if at this point you're like, Jimmy Dore had a segment, the Young Turks were ragging on him, because he was like, if you're anti-war, you vote for Trump.

01:27:48.000 And I'm like, that is objectively true.

01:27:50.000 Trump didn't start any new wars and he was pulling our chips out of the Middle East.

01:27:53.000 Joe Biden started a new war.

01:27:55.000 Well, I shouldn't blame him for something, you know.

01:27:57.000 He put our troops back into these existing wars, like Syria.

01:28:00.000 And now we have Ukraine, and they're sending money and funds, so it's like, oh, more new wars happening.

01:28:05.000 I can't blame him.

01:28:05.000 That's on Russia.

01:28:07.000 But if you voted for Trump, you have Abraham Accords.

01:28:10.000 What is it?

01:28:10.000 Was it Israel and the UAE with a free trade agreement, I think?

01:28:13.000 Yeah.

01:28:14.000 That's crazy.

01:28:15.000 That was almost none of my friends have heard anything about that.

01:28:18.000 When we talked about this and they're like, why would you?

01:28:20.000 First of all, I didn't tell them who I voted for.

01:28:22.000 They just kind of assumed whoever I might have voted for because I didn't post Biden memes and talk about that stuff.

01:28:28.000 And I just asked, I was like, do you have any idea about either the Abraham Accords or the progress we've made in the Middle East or North Korea?

01:28:35.000 And they're just like, he's racist.

01:28:37.000 And I'm like, oh, fine.

01:28:39.000 I can't.

01:28:39.000 Oh, wow.

01:28:39.000 He is.

01:28:40.000 What did he say?

01:28:42.000 I tried to explain it in the exam.

01:28:43.000 I was like the thing like you mentioned with Brandon Strock about with what was that with the Insulting the yeah for me.

01:28:49.000 It was the ms-13 gang members and how they framed how he said it as all Members, you know all people from Mexico and it's like when I saw the clip. 0.92

01:28:57.000 It was so egregious I'm like you have to be at least somewhat aware, but most people aren't going to take the time to actually look into it so I just I always just, you know, Socratic method or people say like, yeah, well, Trump's a racist.

01:29:10.000 I'll go, oh, really? 0.65

01:29:12.000 Oh, yeah.

01:29:12.000 What did he do?

01:29:14.000 And then they're just like, I don't know.

01:29:15.000 That's crazy.

01:29:16.000 So you don't know that he did anything racist?

01:29:18.000 Here's another good art school story.

01:29:20.000 I was having a conversation with somebody and they mentioned that they thought Trump was racist against immigrants.

01:29:25.000 And I pointed out that immigrant was not a race.

01:29:28.000 And they said that we should stop talking politics.

01:29:33.000 What usually happens is I'll say, like, what do you mean?

01:29:37.000 If they'll say something like Trump is racist against, you know, Muslims or whatever, I'll be like... Yeah, they'll mention the Muslim ban.

01:29:42.000 I'll be like, Muslims, not a race.

01:29:43.000 Like, do you mean religious? 0.80

01:29:45.000 And they'll be like, oh yeah, he's like bigoted against religions.

01:29:47.000 And I'll be like, oh, like, but the countries that he banned is like Venezuela was included on that list.

01:29:52.000 And they'll be like, well, that was a red herring.

01:29:53.000 I'll be like, oh, you think that he was just like, it was a conspiracy?

01:29:57.000 Like he was pretending to ban Venezuela so that he could secretly ban Muslims and that was like a plot?

01:30:02.000 And they'll be like, well, I'll be like, I don't know.

01:30:04.000 Is that what you think?

01:30:04.000 Like the government was secretly plotting to ban Muslims.

01:30:07.000 So they pretended to ban people from Venezuela.

01:30:09.000 Is that what happened?

01:30:11.000 I just don't, I think, I think it's just a simple answer.

01:30:13.000 It's like Trump banned a bunch of countries because the Obama administration's DOJ or state department said that there was risks there.

01:30:19.000 Well, you know, whatever, man, Trump did say, you know, that he wanted to put a moratorium or whatever on Muslims entering the country or whatever.

01:30:28.000 Also, it's funny to point out to them that Obama was called Deporter-in-Chief.

01:30:31.000 That blows their minds when they find out how many people he deported, but also most of them don't know anything about the drone strikes or anything that went on before that because they weren't politically initiated before the Trump presidency.

01:30:44.000 I think I should hire canvassers, the people who stand in the street and wave to people and just be like, hey, do you have a minute to talk about the greatest president ever, Barack Obama?

01:30:53.000 Just five seconds and they'll be like, yeah, sure, what's up?

01:30:55.000 We are trying to get petitions to Provide legal immunity for Barack Obama because he killed an American child without charge or trial.

01:31:03.000 We think that it was an accident, and he should not be held accountable, nor should he give up his peace prize, and we're looking for signatures.

01:31:09.000 And they'll be like, what?

01:31:12.000 It's like, what?

01:31:14.000 And if they say no, and they'll be like, come on, we don't want Obama to get in trouble over this.

01:31:16.000 That's a great way to phrase it. 1.00

01:31:18.000 He needed to kill that kid! 0.99

01:31:19.000 We want to talk about the disposition matrix. 1.00

01:31:21.000 What's that?

01:31:22.000 Like, oh, it's how he...

01:31:24.000 Yeah.

01:31:25.000 The disposition matrix.

01:31:28.000 Do you think people ever catch up to the debt sort of stuff?

01:31:30.000 Like, do you think it ever will be widespread enough that people understand what's happening?

01:31:36.000 Like, for example, inflation numbers, right?

01:31:39.000 Inflation numbers didn't tick down, which is what a lot of people that I talk to think.

01:31:44.000 Like, oh yeah, inflation numbers went down because the White House said it went down.

01:31:47.000 Like, no, it just didn't go up as much, right?

01:31:50.000 You think anybody gets hip to that at any point?

01:31:53.000 Yeah, some people do.

01:31:54.000 Like I said, it's NPCs versus playing characters.

01:31:58.000 Only the ones who are already politically initiated and care enough to look into it would actually know enough to look farther.

01:32:03.000 At this point, the politically initiated people are like, I don't believe you anymore.

01:32:06.000 So now, no matter what they say, it's like, I'm going to assume the opposite.

01:32:09.000 It's like the media has become George Costanza where they just do everything opposite.

01:32:13.000 It's a sacrifice to become a critical thinker.

01:32:16.000 It requires a lot of energy.

01:32:17.000 It does.

01:32:18.000 Are people willing to make that sacrifice?

01:32:21.000 I don't know.

01:32:22.000 Why, do you have a reason to live?

01:32:23.000 If you do, then you'll probably make the sacrifice.

01:32:26.000 Let's go to Super Chats!

01:32:34.000 We're gonna have a members-only show coming up for you at 11 p.m., and we will have a good show, but let's talk about these Super Chats.

01:32:42.000 Nomas says, Tim, laugh and have fun with Joe Bob as a guest.

01:32:46.000 Well, okay, I think we did.

01:32:47.000 Done and done, yeah.

01:32:48.000 Matthew Reckamp says, in regards to Uvalde, obviously it's wrong to shoot cops, but at what point do they stop being cops and start being accomplices?

01:32:57.000 That's the crazy thing.

01:32:58.000 They were stopping the parents and not stopping the shooter.

01:33:01.000 They were assisting the shooter.

01:33:03.000 That's crazy.

01:33:05.000 And it wasn't even them who stopped him.

01:33:06.000 It was the border patrol that did it.

01:33:07.000 Were they helping this kid?

01:33:08.000 I'll say this.

01:33:10.000 They helped him, whether it was on purpose or not.

01:33:12.000 Sure did.

01:33:13.000 That's crazy, man.

01:33:14.000 It is crazy.

01:33:16.000 Indeed, yes.

01:33:16.000 Wise words.

01:33:17.000 Insightful.

01:33:18.000 Honestly, it's a good point.

01:33:19.000 He has the receipts.

01:33:20.000 Yeah, I think it's just Hunter and you, man.

01:33:22.000 Probably you two, sorry.

01:33:23.000 Is that what they're calling it nowadays, Tim?

01:33:24.000 Drumdrop says, hang on Tim, who among us hasn't sent their father a porn link?

01:33:27.000 Or is it just Hunter and I?

01:33:29.000 Yeah, I think it's just Hunter and you, man.

01:33:33.000 Adrian Contreras says, Tim said he clicked on the Hunter link for research.

01:33:36.000 Is that what they're calling it nowadays, Tim?

01:33:38.000 I was basically saying like, you know, I'm not going to rag on somebody for having, you

01:33:43.000 know, weirdo search history. 0.81

01:33:44.000 Like, you can rag on Hunter Biden and call him a degenerate or whatever.

01:33:47.000 The bigger issue is the political implications of sharing phone numbers.

01:33:49.000 But I was like, look, I typed in Hunter Biden, you know, MILF, MILF porn or whatever, not to actually watch it, because I'm researching the news, and if someone saw that in my browser history, what would they... Tim, what are you doing?

01:34:01.000 Like, no, no, you don't understand.

01:34:02.000 It's a news thing, and they're gonna be like, sure it was.

01:34:05.000 Sure.

01:34:07.000 Alright.

01:34:07.000 Clear Tim's browser history if he dies.

01:34:10.000 Dagger says Ian, look up Edward Bernays, his uncle and his nephew, mind-blowing psychological propaganda.

01:34:15.000 He's the father of modern propaganda, I believe.

01:34:19.000 American theorist, considered as a pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda.

01:34:23.000 Didn't he, like, make bacon a thing?

01:34:24.000 I don't know.

01:34:25.000 I think me and Andy talked about that.

01:34:28.000 I do enjoy bacon.

01:34:29.000 Bernays sauce?

01:34:30.000 Ooh, maybe.

01:34:31.000 That's something else.

01:34:32.000 I don't know about that.

01:34:33.000 I look into that.

01:34:33.000 But, uh, orange juice, I think he did.

01:34:36.000 Like, orange juice is horrible for you.

01:34:37.000 It's, like, really, really bad for you.

01:34:38.000 Nothing but sugar, yeah.

01:34:39.000 Yeah, and the idea was, there was an orange surplus, which meant the price was gonna drop.

01:34:44.000 And the farmers were like, what can we do to make sure we sell all these oranges?

01:34:49.000 And he said, make a new product.

01:34:51.000 They came up with orange juice and said, if an orange is healthy, A glass of orange juice is even more healthy!

01:34:56.000 It's like hot wings.

01:34:57.000 Same thing with chickens. 0.99

01:34:58.000 They couldn't figure out what to do with the wings, and so... Now you have hot wings.

01:35:03.000 Really?

01:35:03.000 I love chicken wings!

01:35:05.000 I'm pretty sure people generally ate the breast and the thigh. 0.99

01:35:08.000 I'm pretty sure.

01:35:10.000 That's where the pork McRib comes from.

01:35:12.000 They have a surplus in a certain month of the year, and that's what they put it into.

01:35:16.000 Edward Bernays.

01:35:17.000 His family was not involved with the Bernays sauce.

01:35:18.000 Boo! 0.83

01:35:19.000 It's spelled differently.

01:35:22.000 Thomas Sidebottom says, Shamus, I watched the oldest video on the Freedom Tunes channel the other day.

01:35:26.000 You've grown so much and come so far.

01:35:28.000 I love seeing that.

01:35:28.000 Keep it up.

01:35:29.000 Thank you so much.

01:35:30.000 Yeah, that would be how government works.

01:35:31.000 And that's, you know, this fall, it will have been eight years.

01:35:34.000 Oh, that was funny.

01:35:35.000 The guy's like, I'm gonna buy a thousand lawnmowers.

01:35:38.000 Yes.

01:35:38.000 Yeah.

01:35:39.000 Yeah.

01:35:39.000 You guys got to check it out.

01:35:40.000 It's like, what does he say?

01:35:41.000 So the whole idea is, should I spoil it or should they go see it?

01:35:46.000 Just give us the gist.

01:35:46.000 So the whole gist is like a guy comes to his house and he's like, I'm the social contractor.

01:35:51.000 And he's like, what's your superpower?

01:35:52.000 He's like, I build and buy things without your consent, regardless of whether you want them and then expect you to pay for it when I'm done.

01:35:58.000 That's right.

01:35:58.000 He's like, that's a terrible superpower.

01:36:01.000 I don't like that.

01:36:01.000 But then he has something useful.

01:36:02.000 And then he's like, I noticed your car was broken, so I hired a repairman.

01:36:07.000 And the car gets fixed.

01:36:08.000 And your roof was leaking, so I hired A roofer!

01:36:11.000 And he's like, oh, this is actually pretty nice.

01:36:13.000 And I noticed you didn't have a cat, so I ordered you 6,000 tons of cat food.

01:36:18.000 He's like, why would you do that?

01:36:19.000 He's like, well, my friend does own the cat food factory.

01:36:22.000 Oh, I see.

01:36:24.000 But go check it out.

01:36:25.000 And if you really want to see how far we've come, freedomtunes.com.

01:36:28.000 Become a member.

01:36:29.000 $5 a month.

01:36:29.000 Nice.

01:36:30.000 Get an extra cartoon every week and see a bunch of cartoons that we have up there now.

01:36:34.000 You guys are going to love them.

01:36:35.000 Neil Sawyer says, hey Shim Sham, I tried to use Potatoes to pay for my membership to Freedom Tunes, but for some reason it only let me use this garbage currency called USD.

01:36:43.000 Yeah, so I've been talking... Seriously, best ten bucks I've ever spent.

01:36:45.000 Thank you, thank you so much.

01:36:47.000 And that's more, and that is very generous, because that is more than we ask.

01:36:50.000 Anything above five bucks is completely voluntary, so thank you so much for giving that.

01:36:54.000 And yeah, I have been talking to the web developers about the Potato payment processing possibilities.

01:37:01.000 Would they just send those to you directly?

01:37:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:37:04.000 So we're going to have to get a P.O.

01:37:05.000 box set up just because PayPal will shave off like 10% of the potato.

01:37:10.000 I'm not letting someone else have 10% of my potato.

01:37:13.000 What about NFT potatoes?

01:37:14.000 So I've thought about it.

01:37:17.000 Part of why I want potatoes as payment is it's a hedge against inflation.

01:37:23.000 But I don't know about NFTs.

01:37:24.000 I don't think they're going to perform well in the long term.

01:37:28.000 I don't know either.

01:37:28.000 But they're a little bit tangy, you know, when you eat them raw. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, they're even better

01:37:32.000 rotten. That's what I'm trying to tell people because I don't think that's accurate.

01:37:35.000 Kentara Bella says they just killed the Daily Wire livestream. Did they? I don't know if that's true. I don't

01:37:40.000 know either. Did they? Interesting. I don't know.

01:37:42.000 Some people are pointing out that when we brought up World Trade Center 7, the stream cut out and then skipped and

01:37:47.000 like people...

01:37:49.000 It always happens at these particular moments in the show.

01:37:52.000 Interesting.

01:37:54.000 My show is never skipped, except for when I talk about Hillary Clinton.

01:37:58.000 And I'm not, I don't actually think that's like legit.

01:38:01.000 It's just really weird that it does.

01:38:04.000 I have been to these live streaming headquarters for a bunch of different companies.

01:38:07.000 They have people who have big monitors and they can see like a hundred live streams all at once.

01:38:13.000 No way!

01:38:14.000 And then they're watching each going and when they see someone start to do something they drag it and drop it into a watch list.

01:38:20.000 Are you serious?

01:38:21.000 Yeah.

01:38:22.000 So, typically what they're doing is looking for cam girls.

01:38:27.000 And so as soon as they see someone start to do something, they put them on a watch list, pay more attention to it, and then as soon as they see it get close, they nuke it.

01:38:35.000 I don't know if they can do that for a lot of YouTube stuff.

01:38:38.000 I do believe they probably have someone watching this show every night.

01:38:43.000 Leave a comment if you're watching.

01:38:48.000 If you work at YouTube and you're watching this, go to FreedomTunes.com.

01:38:54.000 I know you're making enough money to subscribe at the highest level.

01:38:58.000 Please do so.

01:39:00.000 Alright, Oh hell no says Depp originally lost seven million dollars and now he wins 15, but only gets 10.35

01:39:06.000 But she wins 2 million in her suit. So in the end Depp only came out 1.35 million on top

01:39:12.000 But still has all his lawyer fees. Alright to be fair. He got out of doing the Harry Potter movie, too

01:39:17.000 That's fair. And so the judge actually ordered him to pay Amber Heard over that

01:39:20.000 He's like, to be fair, your career was saved, actually.

01:39:24.000 I said they should have just had her pay the $7 million he paid in his divorce settlement back to him. 0.94

01:39:30.000 They wanted it to be poetic.

01:39:31.000 I'm not seeing anything about the Daily Wire stream getting pulled down.

01:39:34.000 It's up now.

01:39:35.000 They finished it.

01:39:36.000 It was an hour and a half long, although it did end about an hour in.

01:39:40.000 Then they go to some pre-record.

01:39:42.000 All right.

01:39:42.000 Sevy Rose says, why would you share a Pornhub premium link unless you knew the recipient also did?

01:39:48.000 Yeah, they both have to have premium.

01:39:49.000 Imagine Hunter's like, he's like, hey, dad, what's going on, son? 0.96

01:39:53.000 You got to see this porn, man. 0.64

01:39:55.000 I'm sending it to you. 0.95

01:39:56.000 He's like, great.

01:39:56.000 Thanks.

01:39:58.000 Even they don't want to pay for ads.

01:39:59.000 That's great.

01:40:02.000 All right.

01:40:06.000 Darian says, this behavior is endemic of every facet of power.

01:40:09.000 The Bidens are nothing new.

01:40:10.000 They're simply an example that we need new blood in Congress.

01:40:14.000 Anyone can throw their hat in.

01:40:15.000 Let me be an example of that.

01:40:17.000 Wish us luck here in California.

01:40:18.000 Well, good luck, good sir.

01:40:21.000 Chance Bell says, do you guys think it'd be possible to get Maxime Bernier on the show?

01:40:25.000 Maxime Bernier?

01:40:27.000 Bernier.

01:40:28.000 He's the leader of the PPC up in Canada, our growing populist party.

01:40:31.000 He deserves more exposure if we're going to survive the socialist hellhole.

01:40:34.000 Love you, Ian.

01:40:34.000 I love you too, Matt.

01:40:36.000 Yeah, I'm down.

01:40:36.000 I don't know.

01:40:37.000 Didn't he have a bunch of stuff happen during the Freedom Convoy?

01:40:39.000 Am I misremembering that?

01:40:41.000 I don't know.

01:40:41.000 Like he got jailed or got in trouble or something during the...

01:40:44.000 I think I remember chaos with him.

01:40:46.000 He does have a standing invite from us.

01:40:48.000 When I hit him up, he was so busy.

01:40:51.000 There was no way he was gonna be able to make it, but that race is over. 1.00

01:40:53.000 So maybe, yeah, hopefully.

01:40:54.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:40:56.000 says, step on Snek and find out.

01:40:57.000 Love him.

01:40:58.000 We made step on Snek and find out skateboards.

01:41:00.000 And we have a whole bunch of them and I don't even know what we're doing with them.

01:41:03.000 We just have them.

01:41:04.000 We should do a raffle or something.

01:41:06.000 Yeah.

01:41:07.000 Okay.

01:41:07.000 Yeah.

01:41:07.000 We should do that.

01:41:09.000 All right.

01:41:11.000 Hippie Kitty says, did Hunter send his dad the videos that he uploaded to Pornhub of himself?

01:41:16.000 Oh, man.

01:41:17.000 That's what I was afraid of.

01:41:18.000 Dad, look what I did.

01:41:19.000 Oh, my gosh.

01:41:20.000 Hey, Dad, be proud of me.

01:41:21.000 Look what I did.

01:41:22.000 That's mighty good, son.

01:41:25.000 That's crazy, yeah.

01:41:25.000 Yeah, I think I remember that.

01:41:27.000 Creepy stuff, man.

01:41:28.000 incredible OK

01:41:40.000 , 50

01:41:48.000 , fan favorite. But nobody likes that show anymore, so I don't

01:42:00.000 know.

01:42:01.000 SirLemonGrab says, with the culture divide, it's like we are watching the left and liberals fighting over hand grenade and we are trying to stop them from pulling the pin.

01:42:11.000 I know, that's why I'm like, dude, just, you know, go about your business.

01:42:15.000 Make money, speak up, build culture, focus on you, do your thing, you know?

01:42:23.000 Mike Ross says, the hoops you have to jump through to share a cell phone number is a bit wild.

01:42:29.000 I manage a $1.6 billion company's network and phone plan is not normal.

01:42:34.000 Wow.

01:42:36.000 I can't think of a single example in history of somebody having the same phone number as somebody else on purpose.

01:42:42.000 I can't think of any reason why you would either.

01:42:44.000 Yeah, I think Tim is right.

01:42:47.000 I think that's totally cover for Joe working as Hunter.

01:42:51.000 Really interesting.

01:42:52.000 It's Hunter's phone, but Joe's the one sending the messages.

01:42:57.000 All right.

01:42:58.000 No, no, no, no.

01:42:59.000 Here's the new commercial.

01:42:59.000 It's the exact same commercial, but that guy's truck immediately breaks down because he's out of gas.

01:43:04.000 up asking if Joe Biden is still president. No, no, no, no, no. Here's the new commercial.

01:43:07.000 It's the exact same commercial, but that guy's truck immediately breaks down because he's out

01:43:12.000 of gas. And then it's like Biden, a better America. That's right. He gets a good. Children

01:43:19.000 wake up. Thank goodness. The kids are running. The car breaks down and the kids stop running

01:43:23.000 and they're like, we're safe. And then Joe walks up and he's like, thank me, kids. I'm the one

01:43:27.000 who made some. And the guy gets out of the truck and he goes, curse you, Joe.

01:43:32.000 You know what I think would be a hilarious political ad, if we have time for it?

01:43:36.000 Or just right now?

01:43:37.000 Is a exact same ad of some... Congressman A is a lifelong NRA supporter.

01:43:44.000 He's endorsed by Donald Trump and supported all of Donald Trump's policy.

01:43:48.000 He wants to build a wall on our southern border and supports the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

01:43:52.000 Have that be an actual commercial.

01:43:53.000 Then do the same exact copy with a minor tone key in it.

01:43:59.000 Congressman A is a Donald Trump supporter.

01:44:03.000 He wants to build a wall on our southern border and end Roe vs. Wade. 0.52

01:44:08.000 That is hilarious.

01:44:08.000 You know, a while ago, I can't remember if it was Vice or Vox, but there was a mini-documentary on this fellow who was 3D printing firearms.

01:44:18.000 And all they did is they took footage of him in an interview where he was speaking to them, and he was just speaking reasonably about The fact that because of 3D printing technology, it's going to be difficult to regulate guns, and Americans have a right to keep and bear an arm, but, keep and bear arms, but they played scary sounding music underneath it, so I was like, oh, he's back!

01:44:39.000 That's my favorite, and they turn up the shadows and make the side of your face look darker.

01:44:44.000 I don't know.

01:44:44.000 Here's an idea, why don't you take a Joe Biden ad or a Democrat ad and then just re-dub it

01:44:48.000 in a minor key with a low voice.

01:44:50.000 That'd be fun.

01:44:52.000 So it's guys like, I want to forgive student loan debt.

01:44:56.000 John Smith wants to forgive student loan debt and help immigrants find a better path.

01:45:02.000 John Smith wants to pay off college debt.

01:45:06.000 Joe Biden protects children by trying to detect if there are harmful chemicals in their hair.

01:45:12.000 That's right.

01:45:14.000 Checking for brains.

01:45:15.000 That's a good one.

01:45:15.000 You should make a compilation of all the sniffing.

01:45:18.000 Oh, my goodness.

01:45:20.000 Oh, you know what?

01:45:20.000 No, no, no.

01:45:20.000 Actually, actually, here's a good bit.

01:45:22.000 It's Biden gets word that, you know, China or Russia, Russia's a better example, a better country, has tainted shampoo.

01:45:32.000 And they're like, Mr. President, Russia has sent tainted shampoo to this country.

01:45:36.000 Children's shampoo.

01:45:38.000 How are we going to be able to find out which kids were affected by it?

01:45:40.000 It's like, I'll do what I have to for the children in this country.

01:45:44.000 I'll sniff all of them, man.

01:45:45.000 I'll sniff them all.

01:45:47.000 Or actually, it might be funnier if Joe Biden claims that.

01:45:51.000 He's like, I got a report.

01:45:53.000 Russia's tainted children's shampoos. 1.00

01:45:56.000 I'm going to have to sniff these kids just to make sure, you know.

01:45:58.000 That's the only way to make sure, man.

01:45:59.000 I don't know if that's true, Mr. President.

01:46:01.000 Don't you doubt me.

01:46:03.000 Mr. Biden, we can hire people for that.

01:46:04.000 He's like, I'll do it myself.

01:46:05.000 Your approximation of Biden is awfully well-equipped cognitively.

01:46:10.000 Yeah.

01:46:11.000 That's a good point.

01:46:12.000 Proto says, in ancient Sparta, public officials held their posts for one year, at the end of which they were immediately put on trial.

01:46:18.000 Let's try that.

01:46:19.000 That's a great idea.

01:46:20.000 Brutal.

01:46:21.000 What did you do wrong?

01:46:22.000 Because they knew.

01:46:23.000 They're like, look, there's no way you can be a politician for a year and not commit a crime.

01:46:27.000 That's right.

01:46:27.000 Look at Illinois' governors.

01:46:29.000 Yep.

01:46:29.000 Andrew Biko says, what are your thoughts on an American citizen's right to an offensive attorney?

01:46:35.000 Would this provide the middle class with the ability to level the playing field?

01:46:39.000 However, new issues may arise from it.

01:46:41.000 I don't know how we do that.

01:46:42.000 That's tough.

01:46:43.000 Like, public defenders are bad enough.

01:46:45.000 Like, public defenders are usually, they walk in, they're like, plead guilty.

01:46:48.000 And you're like, but I didn't do it.

01:46:49.000 Plead guilty.

01:46:50.000 You're like, they have no evidence I did anything.

01:46:52.000 Plead guilty.

01:46:53.000 And where do you draw the line?

01:46:56.000 Like, can you just sue anybody for anything as long as the taxpayer's paying for it?

01:46:59.000 You can, yeah, right?

01:47:00.000 By offensive lawyer, you mean like a lawyer who's not going to use your pronouns?

01:47:02.000 Yeah, very.

01:47:03.000 Yeah, I'm triggered.

01:47:04.000 Ashley Hay says, taking Tim's perspective yesterday, we need stickers praising Joe Biden for defeating climate change.

01:47:11.000 Any ideas on something catchy?

01:47:13.000 Mmm.

01:47:14.000 Defeat, you know, I don't know.

01:47:16.000 Like, how about big stickers with really verbose memes that are just impossible to read?

01:47:19.000 Explaining.

01:47:19.000 Oh, a leftist meme.

01:47:20.000 Yeah, like, a leftist meme.

01:47:21.000 Like, you need to understand that the goal here with the restrictions on gas prices was to make sure that carbon emissions would be reduced.

01:47:27.000 And then people are just gonna be like, what?

01:47:28.000 Yeah, that's a leftist meme.

01:47:31.000 Retsu says, my daughter was just born.

01:47:33.000 525 today.

01:47:34.000 What did I miss?

01:47:35.000 Happy birthday, my love, Niasa West.

01:47:38.000 Congrats.

01:47:38.000 Congratulations.

01:47:39.000 That's exciting.

01:47:42.000 Interesting.

01:47:43.000 Why is that better than one six-year term?

01:47:45.000 Yeah.

01:47:45.000 but they can't be back to back and no running for re-election while president.

01:47:49.000 That's a good one.

01:47:50.000 Interesting.

01:47:51.000 Why is that better than one 60-year-old? 0.99

01:47:52.000 Because they can't campaign while they're in office.

01:47:54.000 Yeah, they have to be out of office.

01:47:57.000 Yeah.

01:47:58.000 So they're not going to run for re-election, so they'll campaign in the middle of the next

01:48:02.000 You're going to have ex-presidents sucking up a lot of attention.

01:48:05.000 Yeah, like Trump is doing now.

01:48:07.000 Or like Obama's banner, or Jimmy Carter.

01:48:10.000 Some of these guys don't go away.

01:48:11.000 Historically, it's been kind of the norm that the ex-president doesn't talk about the current president, but that has been shattered.

01:48:17.000 So I feel like that would be the issue.

01:48:20.000 Rebecca Crane says, got in late but Tulsa had an active shooter at a hospital.

01:48:23.000 Democrats are going to go after guns even harder now. 0.94

01:48:25.000 Yeah, it's really funny that the media is highlighting all of these stories now, isn't it?

01:48:28.000 Right before an election.

01:48:29.000 Isn't that interesting?

01:48:30.000 Some of them are obvious, like when the kids, you know, are getting shot at.

01:48:32.000 I get it.

01:48:33.000 But Chicago has this stuff happening all the time and ain't nobody talking about it.

01:48:37.000 Prince Swagetta.

01:48:39.000 Swagetta?

01:48:40.000 To me, UBI means the government takes their grubby hands out of my pocket.

01:48:43.000 I would never have financial problems again.

01:48:46.000 There you go.

01:48:48.000 People are mentioning Tulsa, man.

01:48:49.000 It's crazy.

01:48:51.000 Oh, that's a video from several months ago.

01:48:54.000 I don't know.

01:48:55.000 is false look at map first cav emblem top right US Army unit that map is from

01:49:00.000 2014 he applied to be a fact-checker for you I was in that unit oh that's a video

01:49:06.000 from several months ago I don't know well I'll take a look at it I suppose

01:49:10.000 leaks war plan video what they were What they were saying was that this dude had a map of Ukraine showing movements and they believed that it showed movements that had not yet happened yet.

01:49:21.000 I suppose he's saying this was from 2014.

01:49:22.000 All right, let's see.

01:49:28.000 NSX says, I'm about 50 minutes behind, but sounds like you guys are getting a few facts wrong.

01:49:32.000 However, you'll find out in coming days, I'm sure.

01:49:34.000 And yes, this was an awesome win.

01:49:36.000 Clearly a hoax if you watch the trial.

01:49:38.000 Interesting.

01:49:42.000 All right.

01:49:43.000 Lurch says, I'll never understand why people who lisp host podcasts.

01:49:46.000 It's so annoying.

01:49:48.000 Who lisps?

01:49:48.000 I don't know.

01:49:49.000 Me.

01:49:50.000 Me?

01:49:50.000 Ian?

01:49:51.000 I don't know.

01:49:52.000 They're trying to like gaslight us.

01:49:55.000 They're trying to like play with our reality.

01:49:57.000 Oh, they're talking about Joe Biden.

01:49:59.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:50:01.000 He's got a stutter.

01:50:02.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:50:04.000 Ethan Klein. 0.95

01:50:06.000 A stutter that makes him say being a poor kid precludes you from being a white kid. 0.93

01:50:11.000 That's right. 0.96

01:50:11.000 You know, one of those stutters. 0.96

01:50:14.000 Rukav says, I agree with generic Luke.

01:50:16.000 Who's that?

01:50:17.000 Generic Luke.

01:50:18.000 Is this Seamus?

01:50:19.000 It might not be Seamus.

01:50:20.000 One of us.

01:50:20.000 I think Luke will be back next week.

01:50:22.000 He'll be here next week.

01:50:23.000 I think so.

01:50:24.000 And I'm really excited for when we show him little Luke, the rooster, the cockerel.

01:50:28.000 Yeah.

01:50:29.000 So we got a Polish chicken.

01:50:31.000 It's a cockerel.

01:50:31.000 So it's going to be a rooster.

01:50:33.000 And he's got big, bushy blonde hair because the Polish ones have like big hair. 1.00

01:50:37.000 And he's got a big nose and he's blonde and he's Polish.

01:50:40.000 So we were like, well, he's a little Luke.

01:50:42.000 And then, you know, Luke's the one who said he's got my nose.

01:50:45.000 That's right.

01:50:45.000 So we were like, he does!

01:50:46.000 We just called him Luke because he was blonde and Polish and he had like a little haircut kind of like Luke's.

01:50:49.000 And he looked angry.

01:50:50.000 Because they sound kind of similar.

01:50:52.000 Yeah, they do.

01:50:52.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:50:55.000 9-11!

01:50:57.000 We'll frickin' say and believe 9-11's a good time to say it. 1.00

01:51:01.000 That's the best Luke impression I've ever heard.

01:51:03.000 You want to talk about 9-11?

01:51:04.000 Yeah, that's a good one.

01:51:05.000 9-11!

01:51:06.000 Wolfrick of Wessex says the Democrats are going to try and push Gavin Newsom as the frontrunner.

01:51:10.000 Maybe not this cycle, but certainly by 2028.

01:51:12.000 Big plastic man?

01:51:14.000 There is no person in this country that wanted Donald Trump to win more than Gavin Newsom in 2020.

01:51:22.000 We can go into that if you want, but that's my thought.

01:51:24.000 That's the theory?

01:51:25.000 Interesting.

01:51:26.000 Well, because Gavin wants to run for president.

01:51:28.000 Oh, of course.

01:51:28.000 That was his best option.

01:51:29.000 If Trump were to win, he would run in 2024 as a sitting governor.

01:51:33.000 But he's like as plastic as plastic can be.

01:51:36.000 Well, I'm not saying he's going to be good at it.

01:51:37.000 I'm just saying he wants to do that.

01:51:40.000 I'm sorry, he's B-tier. 0.97

01:51:42.000 He comes off like a generic politician.

01:51:44.000 Again, I'm not saying he's good at it.

01:51:48.000 His trajectory had Donald Trump winning, and it got screwed up.

01:51:52.000 He's one of those guys that does this when he talks with his hand.

01:51:54.000 I think him and Mitt Romney were actually made at the same factory.

01:51:57.000 Yeah, Trudeau's factory, for sure.

01:52:01.000 Mark H. says, recently a man opened fire on a graduation party in Charleston, West Virginia, with an AR-15.

01:52:05.000 That's correct.

01:52:06.000 A woman with a carry permit took her handgun out and killed the suspect.

01:52:10.000 But you don't need a carry permit in West Virginia.

01:52:12.000 So I'm not sure if she actually had one, but maybe she did.

01:52:14.000 But you don't need one anyway.

01:52:15.000 It's a constitutional carry state.

01:52:17.000 Well, they said Charleston.

01:52:18.000 They may be talking about South Carolina.

01:52:20.000 No, it's West Virginia.

01:52:21.000 Oh, is that what it said?

01:52:22.000 Okay.

01:52:23.000 Well, we know the story.

01:52:24.000 We talked about it.

01:52:25.000 I just want to say that the Supreme Court is currently going over a court case related to guns, and I'm just crossing my fingers for a broad ruling that basically says constitutional carry nationwide.

01:52:35.000 Maybe.

01:52:36.000 I don't know.

01:52:37.000 The thing is in New York, they're trying to ban body armor and long guns.

01:52:41.000 It's like basically ban everything.

01:52:43.000 And I don't know where they're at with that right now, but there's a lawsuit because in New York, you can't get a gun.

01:52:50.000 You can file for one, and they, like, tell us why you need it, and you're like, it's my right.

01:52:54.000 Too bad, and they throw it in the garbage.

01:52:55.000 You don't get it.

01:52:56.000 So, they sued.

01:52:58.000 The Supreme Court's reviewing this.

01:52:59.000 It's possible they do a broad ruling and say states cannot require a permit for owning a gun.

01:53:04.000 What do you think the odds are?

01:53:05.000 For carrying one.

01:53:06.000 I don't know.

01:53:06.000 I don't know about that one.

01:53:08.000 I think low, probably, because even Scalia said the Second Amendment is not absolute, which is just ridiculous.

01:53:16.000 Like, We know exactly what kind of weapons they had back then.

01:53:20.000 They we knew about the advancements in weaponry.

01:53:22.000 They the founding fathers knew it.

01:53:24.000 If you want to amend Second Amendment because of the advancement of weaponry,

01:53:27.000 by all means, let's have that conversation.

01:53:29.000 But just to come out and be like, we've decided that weapons are too powerful.

01:53:32.000 So your rights are gone.

01:53:33.000 I'm like, Mm hmm.

01:53:34.000 That doesn't sound right.

01:53:35.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:53:36.000 Well, the founders didn't know about the internet and the internet's changed everything.

01:53:38.000 Don't care.

01:53:39.000 You've got to change the constitution and adapt to these things.

01:53:42.000 You can't just ignore it.

01:53:44.000 That's where we're at though.

01:53:45.000 Darth Professor says, great conversation, everyone.

01:53:47.000 My concern about the upcoming election is the Dems will do the same thing as they did in 2020.

01:53:52.000 Dems have tripled down on their agenda.

01:53:54.000 Bill Clinton changed course, even Obama, to keep people on the Dem side of popularity.

01:54:00.000 We'll see, I suppose.

01:54:02.000 I think so.

01:54:04.000 Let's see.

01:54:06.000 Arthur Messiah.

01:54:07.000 I covered the Tulsa shooting at St.

01:54:09.000 Francis.

01:54:09.000 I was the first to break the news.

01:54:11.000 My wife is a nurse there and was in lockdown.

01:54:12.000 My kids were at the daycare there.

01:54:14.000 I got them 10 minutes before it started.

01:54:16.000 Wow.

01:54:17.000 Crazy.

01:54:18.000 Scary.

01:54:19.000 Man.

01:54:20.000 Iron Lord Oni.

01:54:22.000 The young girl shooting the two guns have a YouTube channel called Autumn's Armory.

01:54:26.000 She's awesome. 0.83

01:54:27.000 Check her out. 0.99

01:54:28.000 Well, there you go.

01:54:30.000 Randall Logan.

01:54:32.000 You can only have an opinion and make laws on certain guns if you currently own and practice with that type of gun.

01:54:37.000 And you can only have an opinion and make laws on background checks if you have passed a NICS background check.

01:54:41.000 I love when Beto was like, you know, people shouldn't be allowed to have AR-15s and AK-47s.

01:54:47.000 I wish I was there and I'd be like, um, Mr. O'Rourke, what about a SCAR-20S?

01:54:52.000 Well, that too.

01:54:53.000 Mr. O'Rourke, what about an M1A?

01:54:55.000 No, well, that too.

01:54:56.000 What about literally any other rifle?

01:54:59.000 All of them.

01:55:01.000 Robert.

01:55:02.000 It's like, we're gonna ban this one gun.

01:55:04.000 Robert.

01:55:05.000 That's not even your real name.

01:55:07.000 That's right.

01:55:07.000 Beidou.

01:55:10.000 Dragon Stallion.

01:55:11.000 Or Stallon.

01:55:12.000 Oh, Dragon's Talon.

01:55:14.000 There we go.

01:55:14.000 Lydia.

01:55:15.000 Fifth graders learn to shoot guns by using school gym as target range.

01:55:18.000 Wyoming.

01:55:19.000 Idaho State's mid paper.

01:55:20.000 Yeah, but that was Airsoft.

01:55:22.000 Still.

01:55:22.000 I was shocked and offended.

01:55:23.000 I said, those kids should not be using those weapons.

01:55:25.000 Right, yeah.

01:55:26.000 They should be outside with Ruger 10-22s.

01:55:27.000 Of course, yeah.

01:55:29.000 I agree.

01:55:29.000 Airsoft.

01:55:30.000 No, I mean to be completely honest, like airsoft for kids to start training is probably a good way to start.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, I learned- I started learning to shoot I think when I was about seven with BB guns.

01:55:38.000 Then we gradually went up from there and it just worked great.

01:55:40.000 A little safer.

01:55:43.000 Clint Torres says, Brett, hey bro, sorry I couldn't make your last episode, but good thing I never missed him.

01:55:48.000 Well, there you go.

01:55:48.000 Thank you.

01:55:49.000 Yes, we are doing the show live now every day at 3 p.m.

01:55:52.000 Monday through Friday.

01:55:52.000 Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

01:55:53.000 youtube.com slash pop culture crisis.

01:55:55.000 Indeed.

01:55:56.000 Yeah, we've got big plans for big marketing push.

01:55:59.000 Making that show big.

01:56:00.000 So subscribe.

01:56:03.000 Ossery says, Tim, check out Brandon Tatum's take with Uvalde shooting.

01:56:06.000 He had the inside scoop from the officers on site.

01:56:08.000 Interesting.

01:56:10.000 Rage 8 says, what did Michael Malice say about cops killing kids?

01:56:14.000 Arm our teachers, bring back marksmanship in schools, and issue every citizen a free firearm.

01:56:18.000 I'm not sure I want to give groomers guns.

01:56:20.000 I don't know about that one.

01:56:22.000 No, not all teachers should have guns.

01:56:23.000 Maybe age 25 people could apply to get a rifle or something like that.

01:56:27.000 Well, what do you mean?

01:56:28.000 Government issued rifle.

01:56:29.000 I was 16.

01:56:31.000 It's so young.

01:56:31.000 Well, we drive cars at 16.

01:56:33.000 That's also young.

01:56:34.000 Very dangerous, yeah.

01:56:35.000 So if you pass firearm ed, you get your license, you go to school, they have elective, you

01:56:40.000 can or you don't.

01:56:41.000 I didn't do driver's ed, I just turned 18 and went and got my license, it took me like

01:56:44.000 an hour.

01:56:45.000 So then if you don't do that when you're 18, you can go in and fill out a general knowledge

01:56:48.000 You know, like, you gotta know how to load it, you gotta know where the safety is, you gotta know how to point.

01:56:52.000 They'll ask you basic questions, like, what are the four basic rules, and then you get your government-issued, you know, air.

01:56:57.000 The best argument against this, I'm somewhat kidding, by the way, but they were like, government subsidizing weapons will drive the price up to ridiculous numbers, and make it hard for people to buy.

01:57:06.000 There'll be like, yeah, no, if the government promises everyone a free gun, there'll be a gun shortage in like two weeks.

01:57:12.000 There you go.

01:57:16.000 Spiro Floropoulos says, according to sources say .online, Ian has created a lover from graphene, lol.

01:57:22.000 So, I recently got this, um, I got an ad on Facebook for an AI text generator.

01:57:29.000 And it's marketed as a tool for helping you write.

01:57:31.000 Whether it's news, product marketing, or blog posts.

01:57:35.000 And so, it's actually so much fun.

01:57:37.000 I have an idea, I think we should do, we're gonna do like a Chicken City cartoon.

01:57:41.000 I wrote, uh, I put the inputs in, it was like, Ian, witch, Cat.

01:57:46.000 Graphene.

01:57:47.000 Federal Reserve.

01:57:48.000 And it wrote two paragraphs about Ian being a scientist who was trying to formulate graphene, but a witch came and like stole his banana or something.

01:57:57.000 It was awesome!

01:57:58.000 And I'm like, we should totally just, you know, do AI bits.

01:58:01.000 What's this website called?

01:58:03.000 I think it's called Jasper.

01:58:05.000 Something like that.

01:58:06.000 No, no, no.

01:58:07.000 Google AI text generator.

01:58:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:58:09.000 And so you can write news stories.

01:58:10.000 The crazy thing is it actually knows the news.

01:58:12.000 And so I tested this out.

01:58:14.000 Is that what it was called?

01:58:15.000 Jasper.ai.

01:58:16.000 Is that it?

01:58:17.000 I typed in, um, Joe Biden gas prices, uh, record levels.

01:58:23.000 And then it wrote two paragraphs of a news story.

01:58:25.000 And it was like, gas prices have reached a new record level under the presidency of Joe Biden, blah, blah, blah.

01:58:29.000 And I was like, whoa!

01:58:30.000 Yeah, at the very least, this is the narration that would play over, like, a funny thing.

01:58:34.000 You know, a funny skit. 1.00

01:58:36.000 Sometimes... Cheap shit. 1.00

01:58:37.000 You can't really use it. 0.99

01:58:38.000 I mean, it's funny, it's a gag, but I'm surprised that anyone would actually use it as a product.

01:58:44.000 Right, it's good, um, like, inspiration if you want to write something about these topics.

01:58:48.000 This could give you, like, a...

01:58:50.000 Right, exactly.

01:58:51.000 That's the only thing it really is, like a muse.

01:58:54.000 Because you can do creative story, and that's what I did for the Ian Graphene thing, but you can't continue the story.

01:59:00.000 So it'll write you a paragraph, or two paragraphs, and then you can't continue the story, because if you put in new inputs based on the old paragraph, it creates a different story.

01:59:10.000 Well, Joe Biden's using it to write his speeches.

01:59:14.000 Kamala Harris is.

01:59:14.000 So is Kamala.

01:59:16.000 Kamala Harris has an earpiece and it's an auto AI generator and she's just like, the dog went to the store and Ukraine's small and I'm the president and they're like, what is she saying?

01:59:24.000 Then it gets confused and she laughs.

01:59:26.000 Yeah.

01:59:29.000 Let's grab some more super chats.

01:59:31.000 Duder says Hunter and Joe shared bank accounts.

01:59:33.000 So why would they need 10% for the big guy?

01:59:36.000 Because the big guy is Obama.

01:59:37.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:59:41.000 Everybody whoa at the same time. 0.83

01:59:43.000 Blew our minds with that one.

01:59:45.000 The big guy is Obama.

01:59:46.000 Well it definitely blew my mind that Hunter would be Joe.

01:59:49.000 You're gonna cut me in on this deal?

01:59:51.000 Or I'm gonna... 1.00

01:59:52.000 beat you mercilessly. 1.00

01:59:54.000 I will tell on you. 1.00

01:59:55.000 I'll tell on you if you don't cut me the deal.

01:59:57.000 These are both actually very impressive.

01:59:58.000 Thank you. 0.99

02:00:01.000 I will mercilessly beat you. 1.00

02:00:03.000 Joe, I will beat you with a 2x4 until you are no longer able to form a coherent sentence. 1.00

02:00:07.000 And Joe didn't pay him and that's what happened.

02:00:11.000 Come on, baby. 0.97

02:00:13.000 Andrew Gerasimenko, the dual-wielding seven-year-old, has a YouTube channel called Autumn's Armory.

02:00:18.000 You guys should check her out.

02:00:20.000 Yes, yes, absolutely.

02:00:22.000 All right, we can grab a couple more here.

02:00:25.000 Reggae Vibe says, I'd like to tell Biden supporters, don't you wish you voted for Vermin Supreme?

02:00:29.000 You'd have gotten no Trump, and he would have taken our guns and given us better ones.

02:00:35.000 We all would have won.

02:00:36.000 Free pony.

02:00:37.000 Free pony.

02:00:37.000 Yeah, promise free pony.

02:00:38.000 Mandatory toothbrushing laws.

02:00:42.000 K.A.

02:00:42.000 Collins says, Tim and crew, come out and be treated VIP at the original Rock and Roll of Hillbillies of Chaos on June 4th at Paradise City Plaza, Appalachia, VA.

02:00:58.000 Appalachia, VA, West Virginia.

02:01:00.000 Let's look that up real quick.

02:01:02.000 Are you typing it in?

02:01:04.000 Yeah.

02:01:04.000 Paradise City, where is it?

02:01:05.000 Is it far away?

02:01:07.000 I can't go, but you guys have fun.

02:01:10.000 All right.

02:01:11.000 Amy N.W.

02:01:12.000 says, I texted my mom the moment the Sussman verdict was announced, and her exact response after a few profanities was, so it's over, civil war or bust.

02:01:19.000 And it immediately made me think of the show.

02:01:21.000 Cheers to Tim Kast from California.

02:02:52.000 We're very, very far along in the project, but we need some artists.

02:03:04.000 Talked about it last night.

02:03:05.000 It's called Writing in the Dark.

02:03:06.000 It was like a kind of a diary when I was co-founding Mines.

02:03:11.000 Just gonna leave it there, but with one more thing, please do your best to think outside the box.

02:03:19.000 Love you, ma'am.
