Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Jordan Peterson SUSPENDED Over Trans Tweet, Signs To Daily Wire w-Spike Cohen

00:00:00.000 you you

00:01:00.000 so Jordan Peterson got suspended on Twitter for making a tweet about an

00:01:16.000 An actress with the last name Paige.

00:01:19.000 I'll just put it that way, who's in Umbrella Academy.

00:01:22.000 He made a tweet referencing an individual named Ellen Paige, who now goes by Elliot Paige.

00:01:25.000 How does that work for you?

00:01:27.000 And is refusing to apologize, so it looks like it's going to be a permanent suspension, but there is really, really big news.

00:01:33.000 Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager have signed with The Daily Wire.

00:01:37.000 The Daily Wire announced they got 890,000 paying subscribers, and I was so jealous I punched my monitor.

00:01:43.000 I was like, oh, The Daily Wire!

00:01:44.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:01:45.000 I'm really excited for these guys because their victory is our victory.

00:01:49.000 Watching the corporate press and the establishment fizzle out and implode, CNN Plus couldn't even fail on time.

00:01:55.000 They ended up imploding a few days early.

00:01:57.000 It's amazing.

00:01:58.000 And then the Daily Wire is taking off to see all of this success, to see Jordan Peterson getting more funding, to see money coming in, to see everyone supporting the Daily Wire.

00:02:06.000 It's just good news.

00:02:07.000 It's just all around good news.

00:02:08.000 And that's because it's not all good news.

00:02:10.000 So I decided, you know, we were originally going to leave it with the Joe Biden story where he said, you're going to pay high gas prices as long as it takes for him to win in Ukraine.

00:02:19.000 Great.

00:02:20.000 Joe Biden's political ambitions are going to dictate why you can't afford to pay for gas.

00:02:24.000 But, you know, I decided it's a little dark and, you know, let's switch it up and talk about the good news.

00:02:29.000 I mean, it is kind of bad news that Jordan Peterson got suspended.

00:02:31.000 We'll talk about that.

00:02:32.000 Plus, we got some crazy news.

00:02:34.000 The EPA is lost in the Supreme Court.

00:02:36.000 Supreme Court basically said the EPA can't regulate carbon emissions, which is a huge knock on federal authority.

00:02:41.000 So now, it's just hilarious.

00:02:43.000 All of the losses the left has received.

00:02:46.000 Gun rights, Roe v. Wade, and now the EPA.

00:02:48.000 They are freaking out!

00:02:50.000 AOC, of course, going on Colbert and saying that the Supreme Court's illegitimate or whatever.

00:02:55.000 Nancy Pelosi says they're extremist.

00:02:57.000 Well, they're really, really upset, but the Democrats are going to use all of that energy to try and win in the midterms.

00:03:01.000 We'll see, because I'm not convinced.

00:03:03.000 After all of the really bad stuff that happened to the left because the Supreme Court made correct rulings, when Joe Biden comes out and says, you're going to pay high gas prices as long as it takes, I'm pretty sure people are going to be like, as long as it takes is until you're voted out of office, dude, because it's not going to be that long.

00:03:18.000 We'll talk about all that, but before we get started, head over to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our work.

00:03:25.000 The Daily Wire has 890,000 subscribers, so we just need to add about 800-and-some-odd-thousand people to our website and then we can be as big as they are.

00:03:36.000 But we're doing a lot of stuff here.

00:03:39.000 As well, we brought in Jamie Kilstein to help us do the vlog, Cast Castle, which we're slowly building it up to kind of like a fictional version of our office, so it'll be like a sitcom with gags and bits.

00:03:52.000 We've always been trying to do that, but you have to slowly build up to it, and we're not just throwing tons of money into it.

00:03:56.000 But with your support, We can ramp up production across the board.

00:03:59.000 We got Tales from the Inverted World launching season two tomorrow.

00:04:02.000 It's gonna be big.

00:04:02.000 Plus the book.

00:04:03.000 So we got a bunch of stuff in the works.

00:04:05.000 We've got new people coming on board.

00:04:06.000 We've got new shows planned.

00:04:07.000 And with your support as members, there won't just be one massive company taking over the cultural establishment.

00:04:13.000 There will be two!

00:04:15.000 Tim Cass will be doing it as well.

00:04:21.000 Smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

00:04:24.000 Without further ado, joining us to talk about all of these fun stories is Spike Cohen.

00:04:29.000 Hey man, thanks for having me on.

00:04:31.000 Who are you?

00:04:32.000 I am Spike Cohen.

00:04:33.000 I am the founder and chair of an organization I started about a month ago called You Are The Power, which is a grassroots libertarian political activism group.

00:04:41.000 I am a retired business owner.

00:04:45.000 I am first and foremost the husband to, objectively, the greatest woman to ever walk this planet, Tasha Cohen.

00:04:52.000 And in my spare time, I cyber bully federal agencies and elected officials until they delete their social media accounts.

00:05:00.000 Has that actually happened?

00:05:01.000 A few times, yeah.

00:05:02.000 Oh, wow!

00:05:02.000 Yeah, we've got, I think, 12 total.

00:05:05.000 Mostly local and state, but yeah, a few DAs we've chased off the internet and stuff like that.

00:05:08.000 But you don't mean, like, literally cyberbully, you mean challenge their authority.

00:05:12.000 Yeah, so I should say, cyberbully is, and we don't threaten or anything like that, but really just, I'm actually almost, like, saccharine sweet in a way.

00:05:22.000 I'm like, hi there, how are you doing?

00:05:23.000 By the way, can we talk about this thing?

00:05:25.000 And so I'm almost, I'm very congenial about it, but in a way that makes them want to leave the internet forever.

00:05:29.000 So it'll be interesting talking about the EPA stuff with you, especially.

00:05:33.000 Sure, absolutely.

00:05:34.000 We also have Mary Morgan. 0.97

00:05:35.000 Hello!

00:05:36.000 Thank you for having me on a second time.

00:05:38.000 I didn't say anything to get you cancelled last time.

00:05:41.000 I'm still in your good graces, right?

00:05:42.000 So you earned your way back on?

00:05:43.000 Yeah.

00:05:44.000 I'm the co-host of Pop Culture Crisis, so I'm gonna shill it all night tonight.

00:05:48.000 We just got over 30,000, so now it's the race to 40,000 with Inverted World. 100,000?

00:05:55.000 Eventually.

00:05:55.000 Pop Culture Crisis is one of our shows.

00:05:57.000 So Mary and Brett Desevik host the show.

00:05:59.000 Yes.

00:06:00.000 Talking about pop culture issues and cultural issues as well.

00:06:03.000 It's the more cultural side of the conversation.

00:06:06.000 So we talk a lot about heavy politics and stuff like the EPA and Joe Biden.

00:06:09.000 And you guys were talking about like woke Hollywood stuff.

00:06:12.000 Yeah, today we were talking about how James Bond is getting a reinvention, which could mean something very bad.

00:06:20.000 He's gonna be a black woman, I think, right? 0.99

00:06:22.000 Yeah, maybe paraplegic too, I heard. 0.99

00:06:25.000 No.

00:06:25.000 Really?

00:06:25.000 No.

00:06:26.000 I believe it!

00:06:28.000 The fact that you believe it, it says a lot.

00:06:32.000 All right.

00:06:32.000 We also got Ian.

00:06:33.000 What's up, everybody?

00:06:34.000 I'm actually going to be on Pop Culture Crisis tomorrow with Mary and Brett.

00:06:37.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:06:38.000 It's gonna be 3 p.m.

00:06:39.000 Eastern Standard Time, so come and check it out.

00:06:41.000 And I'm looking forward to communicating tonight with compassion, not letting my emotions get the best of me, just listening.

00:06:48.000 Well, not just listening, but listening in addition to talking.

00:06:50.000 Yes.

00:06:51.000 Excellent strategy.

00:06:53.000 Pop culture crisis is 100% a house-like hobby.

00:06:56.000 I'm always on on Wednesdays.

00:06:57.000 Sometimes I go on with Andy.

00:06:59.000 Ian's on Fridays.

00:07:00.000 Got a bunch of our journalists on there.

00:07:01.000 It's always a good time.

00:07:02.000 You guys should for sure check it out.

00:07:03.000 Let's get to 40k next.

00:07:05.000 Yeah.

00:07:06.000 All right, let's jump to this first story from the National Post.

00:07:09.000 Jordan Peterson, suspended from Twitter, says it might as well be a ban because I won't apologize.

00:07:15.000 Quote, if I can't be let back on because I won't apologize, I could care less, Jordan Peterson told the National Post after Twitter suspended his account over a tweet about Elliot Page.

00:07:25.000 I don't think Jordan Peterson said anything about Elliot Page.

00:07:28.000 Did not, no.

00:07:28.000 He was referring to an Ellen Page.

00:07:31.000 On June 28, the controversial author, I like how they say he's controversial, clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto lost access to most of his Twitter account features because of a tweet he posted earlier in the week that used transgender actor Elliot Page's former name and suggested he had his breasts removed by a criminal physician.

00:07:49.000 So he said, quote, I penned an irritated tweet in response to one of the latest happenings on the increasingly heated culture war front, Peter told the National Post.

00:07:58.000 As far as Peterson is concerned, the temporary suspension might as well have been a ban because he would rather die than delete the tweet in question, he said.

00:08:05.000 Does the tweet stay up when that happens?

00:08:06.000 I think so.

00:08:07.000 I'm going to have to check it out.

00:08:08.000 It stays up private, I think.

00:08:09.000 Private?

00:08:10.000 They want you to be the one to take it down, to admit you're wrong.

00:08:13.000 Which is so psychologically manipulative.

00:08:15.000 That's a very psychological move.

00:08:16.000 It's like no one can see it.

00:08:18.000 But you have to remove it yourself.

00:08:20.000 Like, we could remove it, but you have to do it.

00:08:23.000 Or you can't come back on.

00:08:24.000 A tone.

00:08:25.000 Very interesting.

00:08:25.000 Exactly.

00:08:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:27.000 It's like making a kid go out into the woods and pick his own switch.

00:08:30.000 Yeah, it is.

00:08:30.000 Very much so.

00:08:31.000 Yes, but I think it's a legal thing.

00:08:34.000 I think it's a legal thing.

00:08:35.000 Is it?

00:08:36.000 Yeah, I think they're like, we can't tell you... They're liability?

00:08:39.000 Yeah, like, we can't remove it because then we are directly involved or something like that.

00:08:43.000 And also, then where's the proof?

00:08:44.000 If you're like, hey, where's your proof that I violated terms?

00:08:47.000 There's nothing up.

00:08:48.000 Right, but then there's also, I mean, like, Facebook's removed all sorts of stuff I put up over the years, and I'm sure Twitter has actually been fairly good to me on most stuff, but in terms of, I mean, I think they can remove stuff, but maybe only if it's, like you said, violating the terms, and if this is something that doesn't technically violate their terms, they're like, okay, well, We're just gonna make you remove it.

00:09:07.000 I'm honestly not sure what it is.

00:09:09.000 It also might be because he's so prominent, they don't want to remove it.

00:09:12.000 They want him to remove it and make that, you know, like atonement for it.

00:09:15.000 I honestly don't know.

00:09:16.000 If this was a small account, they would've gotten nuked in two seconds.

00:09:18.000 Yeah, get nuked.

00:09:19.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:20.000 But I think the principal issue as to why he got suspended was because he said criminal... He said criminal physician, I think is what he said, right?

00:09:26.000 Is that what he said?

00:09:28.000 What's his exact tweet?

00:09:29.000 Right, and that's it right there.

00:09:31.000 The insinuation of a crime or something is probably why they took it down.

00:09:34.000 Oh, okay.

00:09:34.000 Deadnaming, yeah.

00:09:35.000 Yep.

00:09:35.000 Not deadnaming.

00:09:36.000 No?

00:09:37.000 No, I don't.

00:09:37.000 That's against their policy.

00:09:38.000 Um, I don't know.

00:09:41.000 I, I, I issued a tweet, like, so, so often when people get suspended for stuff like this, I will tweet something out.

00:09:46.000 Similar?

00:09:47.000 In the same vein, but specifically like jumping over the landmines of the rules.

00:09:52.000 Yeah.

00:09:52.000 So that I can effectively say something similar, but to prove a point, kind of just like make, make the point.

00:09:58.000 Yeah.

00:09:58.000 I didn't get suspended.

00:09:59.000 Maybe, maybe, I don't know, knock on wood, spoke too soon.

00:10:01.000 But, uh, after I heard that Jordan Peterson got suspended, I tweeted, who is Ellen Page and what does breast removed mean? 0.98

00:10:07.000 Yeah.

00:10:07.000 So by posing it as a question, the issue is with, you know, YouTube and all these other platforms, they don't want you attacking people.

00:10:16.000 That's the real issue.

00:10:17.000 They don't mind you criticizing people, but what Twitter, YouTube, and these other platforms have said, you know, behind the scenes, or I mean, actually they say it overtly, is their goal is a healthier conversation.

00:10:28.000 So if you're being critical of someone, but you're doing it calmly, they're fine with it.

00:10:32.000 But if you start calling names and stuff, then that's when they... So you think it was more about the criminal accusation than about calling Elliot Ellen?

00:10:42.000 It's kind of vague, but the idea is these big social media platforms, they don't want to cultivate a culture around everyone throwing rocks and mud at each other.

00:10:52.000 Right.

00:10:52.000 So I talked to Google, and they told me, because we have Google partners.

00:10:57.000 I actually know a ton of people who work at Google.

00:10:59.000 And they said, we're trying to just clamp down on people who are angry, nasty people who make their shows based on just being nasty and mean.

00:11:09.000 Right.

00:11:09.000 And they were like, obviously your show is nothing like that, so you have nothing to worry about.

00:11:14.000 And I was like...

00:11:15.000 I mean, I don't believe you, to be completely honest, but I appreciate you said that to me.

00:11:19.000 Right, right.

00:11:20.000 Just as a side note, I looked up the terms of service for Twitter and it says they do prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes, other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade, or reinforce negative harmful stereotypes.

00:11:30.000 This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming.

00:11:33.000 So I think that might have been what did it.

00:11:35.000 So that might have been it.

00:11:35.000 Not sure.

00:11:36.000 Or might have been both, yeah.

00:11:38.000 So, if you're a small account on Twitter, you get no benefit of the doubt.

00:11:42.000 Right, of course.

00:11:42.000 They just nuke you in two seconds, they don't care.

00:11:44.000 For Jordan Peterson, putting criminal in there, I think is what put him over the edge of, they're saying like, you're attacking, you're being mean and nasty or something like that.

00:11:57.000 I don't think it was the deadnaming, it probably played a role.

00:12:01.000 But I don't think Jordan Peterson knows who Elliot Page is or anything about that.

00:12:06.000 You know what I mean?

00:12:06.000 I think he just saw something and was like, I can't believe they did this.

00:12:08.000 I'm going to tweet about it.

00:12:10.000 It's a criminal.

00:12:10.000 And then they were like, you're gone.

00:12:12.000 Yeah.

00:12:12.000 So it might've been the dead naming that got their attention.

00:12:16.000 But the, you know, the letter of the rule that was broken was the criminal accusation.

00:12:20.000 Yeah.

00:12:20.000 Here's an interesting question, right?

00:12:22.000 It is true that for a while YouTube, Twitter and Facebook and big social media platforms were seeing a lot of people become very prominent off of just being really nasty.

00:12:33.000 Now the problem is the left is still extremely nasty and they get away with it all the time.

00:12:37.000 So I recognize it's a problem.

00:12:40.000 My problem is like maybe you guys should actually actually do something to to calm people down and foster healthier conversations instead of just banning conservatives.

00:12:51.000 Yeah.

00:12:52.000 This is why last night we talked about Christianity.

00:12:55.000 I brought up like the cult of Christianity. 0.69

00:12:56.000 I think when you're criticizing a cult, it's different than criticizing the individuals.

00:13:02.000 If you're criticizing the tenets of a cult, like the transgender ideologies of like, I was born in a male body, but I want to call myself a woman now. 0.99

00:13:10.000 If you question that, That's really not a big problem.

00:13:13.000 If you go after the individuals that are experiencing it, then you're on hot water.

00:13:17.000 Like he brought up Elliot's name, Elliot Page, and now that's like, yo, now you're bringing someone into it, an innocent bystander, someone that's part of it.

00:13:27.000 Yeah, I think there's something to be said a difference between someone giving their in their mind principle take either way on the transgender debate or discussion and like for example on the on the anti side you know going after you know making fun of suicide rates or something and You know, going after individual people with memes about suicide or something like that.

00:13:48.000 That goes over the line of having a discussion about their disagreement with the idea of gender not being tied to biological sex and actually saying, well, I'm going to attack this person.

00:13:58.000 So that would be an example of that.

00:14:00.000 And obviously there are other examples on the other side as well.

00:14:02.000 But, you know, it's the difference between having even a heated debate and going at someone personally, like you said, to your point, attacking them.

00:14:10.000 Well, here's an issue.

00:14:12.000 Jordan Peterson has a lot of very, very important things to say, least of which is his comments about Elliot Page.

00:14:18.000 Right.

00:14:19.000 Should he just say, fine, delete the tweet so he can carry on saying the more important things to his 2.8 million followers?

00:14:27.000 This is the challenge.

00:14:28.000 I think Jordan should probably set up a truth social account or something where he can tweet all day about these ideas, but not give up the battlefield over this one thing.

00:14:38.000 It's tough, isn't it?

00:14:40.000 That's a judgment call for him to make.

00:14:41.000 It really comes down to, he has to decide how important what he was trying to say in that tweet was, right?

00:14:47.000 Like, is that worth giving that up?

00:14:49.000 And it's not just what's in that tweet, but the idea of... Something that Jordan Peterson has said a lot is, I'm not going to say something that I don't agree with just because it'll make things easier.

00:15:01.000 So if that's the hill he's willing to die on, even if it's not necessarily in and of itself that important, he may back away from the whole thing.

00:15:10.000 I'm not even saying that I agree with that decision being made, but he's the one that built that audience and it was on that kind of principle.

00:15:20.000 So it's a judgment call, man.

00:15:22.000 If he asked me, what should I do?

00:15:24.000 I'm not sure I'd have a good answer for him.

00:15:25.000 It feels like a metaphor for this would be, or some kind of example, Jordan Peterson, they swept the leg.

00:15:33.000 They knocked him down.

00:15:34.000 And he says, you're not supposed to sweep the leg, so I'm done fighting.

00:15:37.000 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you didn't lose.

00:15:40.000 The fight's still happening.

00:15:42.000 Don't walk away just because they pulled a cheap shot.

00:15:45.000 Get up and try and win.

00:15:47.000 And so the concern I have here is, I get that it was bad that they're censoring him.

00:15:51.000 He should be allowed to express these ideas.

00:15:53.000 They should not be censored.

00:15:54.000 But if Jordan Peterson has a million important things to say, and one of them got him knocked down, It's not only did he say it, what he said has been blasted off a million fold.

00:16:06.000 Everyone's seen it, yeah.

00:16:07.000 It's been seen substantially more than ever before and he can say, I got my message out there.

00:16:11.000 Let's get back to work.

00:16:12.000 So that's the challenge with the censorship issue is everybody's saying like, we shouldn't be on YouTube.

00:16:17.000 And I'm like, retreat from the battlefield so that we can go into a high school parking lot and talk to no one?

00:16:23.000 Yeah.

00:16:23.000 Or recognize there are certain things that will get us kicked off the battlefield and we got to fight with what space we have.

00:16:29.000 Yeah.

00:16:30.000 And then we set up the TimCast.com, you know, members only show so that we can try and still do this.

00:16:34.000 We are working on stuff behind the scenes in terms of infrastructure.

00:16:38.000 Just, we can only go as fast as humans can go, but hopefully we'll have some big announcements coming soon.

00:16:42.000 And, um, I think I, I kind of feel like Jordan's made his point.

00:16:46.000 He can come back on Twitter and he can start smack talking again.

00:16:49.000 You should go for it.

00:16:49.000 I think you made a good point, Spike, that he's made kind of his career around, or a big part of his career is like, I'm not going to use compelled, you cannot compel me to say something I don't believe.

00:16:58.000 And in this situation, I think if he did recant and say, okay, fine, I, fine, I'll do whatever you want.

00:17:04.000 I'll, I'll bend the knee that he'll lose 40%, 30% of his followers, or like they'll just lose faith in him.

00:17:10.000 And right now he's got the faith of humanity on his side.

00:17:13.000 So wherever he goes, whatever he does, people will listen.

00:17:15.000 People will follow.

00:17:17.000 He also could be playing the long game of expecting Elon Musk to purchase Twitter so he can come back triumphant however many weeks, months from now and say, see, look, I didn't bend.

00:17:28.000 I said what I said, and I'm not going to back off.

00:17:30.000 And you can take that to the bank.

00:17:31.000 Then I'll never back off of something that I believe.

00:17:35.000 And, you know, if that ends up playing out that way, then he ended up playing a much longer game than the rest of us.

00:17:41.000 Here's an idea.

00:17:42.000 He can take his tweet down, and then as soon as his account is reopened, issue a new tweet saying, follow me on Truth Social because screw this platform, they're censorious.

00:17:52.000 Try and pull as many of their users off the platform as possible to make them suffer.

00:17:57.000 That's one way to do it.

00:17:58.000 I mean, look, if Jordan Peterson's saying he's never coming back to Twitter, it's like, alright, give him one final show.

00:18:04.000 Come back on and be like, come on everybody, party's out here.

00:18:06.000 Let's get out of here.

00:18:07.000 Delete your own account.

00:18:08.000 And then, or you just put a big, if you want to see what Jordan Peters say, here's the link to Truth Social.

00:18:13.000 Yeah.

00:18:14.000 That's, that's the way you got to do it, man.

00:18:15.000 Do mines. 0.98

00:18:16.000 Truth Social's, Trump will ban you for talking crap about him on Truth Social. 0.97

00:18:20.000 That's true. 0.77

00:18:20.000 I have to give a shout out to my friend Reed Coverdale because what he does is whenever a new, you know, so-called free speech platform comes out, he immediately goes on, creates an account and says a bunch of stuff that, that, you know, ticks conservatives off. 0.77

00:18:32.000 And so, you know, immediately go on there and be like, you know, I'm not even sure if I should say this stuff because we're streaming on YouTube, but saying a bunch of various things that might tick people off on the center right and see how quickly it takes him to get kicked off.

00:18:46.000 And it's usually measured in minutes or hours.

00:18:49.000 And so he says, you know, these typically, and I'm not sure about Truth Social particularly, but in general, any of these things, it's typically, it's more, not necessarily free speech, Entirely, but more conservative-friendly speech, as opposed to the Twitter version where it's more progressive or centrist-friendly speech.

00:19:11.000 He's batting a thousand for getting knocked off these platforms.

00:19:14.000 Shout out to Reid Coverdale.

00:19:16.000 Let's talk about what's going on with Jordan Peterson, man.

00:19:18.000 This is Jordan Peterson Newsday.

00:19:20.000 Daily Wire, the new streaming service, Daily Wire Plus, signed Jordan Peterson to a multi-year deal.

00:19:28.000 I was laughing all night.

00:19:29.000 So this news came out basically during our show yesterday.

00:19:33.000 And then when I found out, I started laughing.

00:19:35.000 I'm like, this is amazing.

00:19:37.000 CNN plus couldn't last three weeks.

00:19:39.000 They were supposed to implode within a month.

00:19:41.000 And then even a few days early, they couldn't even fail on time and watching their just collapse.

00:19:46.000 Then CNN had this announcement that like their daytime host, which is like, I'm quitting.

00:19:50.000 I'm tired of being tired.

00:19:51.000 I don't want to do this anymore.

00:19:52.000 And then Daily Wire is expanding rapidly.

00:19:55.000 They're signing new shows.

00:19:56.000 They're launching new shows.

00:19:57.000 They're bringing in Dennis Prager and Jordan Peterson.

00:19:59.000 In April, they had 600,000 subscribers.

00:20:01.000 Now they have 890,000 subscribers.

00:20:04.000 And so it's just a good day.

00:20:05.000 You know what I say?

00:20:06.000 I was saying this earlier.

00:20:07.000 I'm not motivated by money.

00:20:09.000 I'm not doing this because I want to buy a Ferrari, a Lambo, and build a mansion. 0.98

00:20:13.000 No, I would love nothing more than to walk out of my hut into a field of fresh fruit and farm them and smile upon a grateful universe knowing that we have snapped out of existence the corporate press and the establishment garbage manipulative trash. 0.98

00:20:29.000 I want to see the liars called out. 0.98

00:20:32.000 I want to see accountability from the establishment.

00:20:34.000 The Daily Wire is doing that good for them.

00:20:36.000 We want to do that too.

00:20:38.000 That's what I want to do.

00:20:39.000 Every single day.

00:20:40.000 So when I see the Daily Wire pulling this off and I see CNN failing, I know that we are winning.

00:20:45.000 That's a big turn in the tide, man.

00:20:47.000 That's a well, like an extremely established turn in the momentum of, if you want to call it culture war, like the sense of the... I mean...

00:20:57.000 They've not only have they increased their subscriber base by like 20, 30% in like three months, which was massive.

00:21:05.000 What was it?

00:21:06.000 600,000 to 900,000?

00:21:06.000 That's a 50% increase.

00:21:09.000 Yeah.

00:21:10.000 This is really, really monumental.

00:21:11.000 That's from one documentary.

00:21:13.000 That's from Matt's, I am a woman.

00:21:14.000 Mostly as a woman. 0.81

00:21:15.000 That's a big part of it.

00:21:17.000 Gina Carano, of course, the terror on the prairie came out.

00:21:21.000 Gina is just a superstar right now. 1.00

00:21:22.000 I mean, she's a big part of the momentum of that and deserves the notoriety she's getting. 1.00

00:21:26.000 Let's just do some math real quick.

00:21:27.000 $12 per month, 300,000 people per month.

00:21:30.000 It's like 1.7 million?

00:21:31.000 No, it's 3.6.

00:21:31.000 3.6 million per month?

00:21:33.000 Per month, added on top of their existing 600,000.

00:21:35.000 No, it's 3.6.

00:21:37.000 3.6 million per month.

00:21:39.000 Per month.

00:21:41.000 Added on top of their existing 600,000.

00:21:43.000 So they're hitting like, I think the math is

00:21:47.000 10.6 million dollars per month.

00:21:49.000 Per month.

00:21:51.000 That's just in subscriptions too.

00:21:53.000 And that's not even counting their ad revenue.

00:21:57.000 Merchandise, all that stuff.

00:21:58.000 We got to get 300 employees.

00:22:01.000 890,000 website.

00:22:03.000 But you know, it's snowball rolling downhill.

00:22:05.000 They've been doing this for seven, eight years now.

00:22:07.000 So they're really, really taking off.

00:22:09.000 And man, it just feels good, man.

00:22:13.000 You know, sitting back and just seeing their success.

00:22:16.000 It was really funny because when the news broke, I tweeted out saying, holy ish.

00:22:20.000 And then I had these lefty journalists being like, haha, lol and laughing.

00:22:23.000 And I was like, bro, you're like on the verge of being unemployed.

00:22:25.000 What are you laughing about?

00:22:27.000 You're going to go you're going to go manage an AMC?

00:22:29.000 Like, what are you doing?

00:22:31.000 I got a question now.

00:22:32.000 Is Jordan an American citizen?

00:22:34.000 Is he going to get his American citizenship after this?

00:22:36.000 He's Canadian, I don't know.

00:22:37.000 Moving to Tennessee?

00:22:39.000 Is he going to go to Nashville?

00:22:40.000 Or is he just keeping on with keeping on?

00:22:42.000 I don't know.

00:22:42.000 I don't think he has to be an American citizen to do a contract.

00:22:45.000 No, but does he get to become one now?

00:22:46.000 I know he's fed up with the Canadian government.

00:22:50.000 He's one of Justin Trudeau's probably most accurate, harshest critics, and justifiably so.

00:22:55.000 I don't know if you know this, but I'm pretty sure you can just buy citizenship.

00:22:58.000 Like if you're rich.

00:22:59.000 At that point, yeah.

00:23:01.000 And then you reach a certain point where it makes sense to renounce your citizenship for tax purposes.

00:23:05.000 So I'm not sure where he falls in that spectrum on whether it makes sense for him to become a citizen or to renounce it.

00:23:10.000 Well, are Canadian taxes higher or lower than the U.S.? ?

00:23:13.000 The income tax, well now with the increase.

00:23:17.000 I think our taxes might be higher.

00:23:18.000 I think that at the higher level, the income tax is higher.

00:23:21.000 Where Canada gets you isn't necessarily the income tax being higher.

00:23:23.000 In fact, their corporate tax for the larger corporations is lower.

00:23:27.000 A lot of American companies, like Burger King was a famous one that moved to being a Canadian company for the corporate tax purpose.

00:23:33.000 It's the property taxes and the sales taxes.

00:23:36.000 It's the middle class that they're hitting with the real taxes. 0.78

00:23:39.000 The rich aren't the ones getting it.

00:23:41.000 Also, the censorship tax, which is unquantifiable.

00:23:45.000 It's kind of like Einstein fleeing Nazi Germany before it got bad. 0.80

00:23:49.000 He saw the writing on the wall and was like, yo, buddy, I'm out.

00:23:53.000 They've also had the not allowed to leave your province unless you're vaccinated tax that they finally lifted earlier this month.

00:23:59.000 So, I mean, if you're talking about overall burden, then it goes beyond property taxes.

00:24:04.000 I saw a picture from a Canadian airport and they were like, there's like four hour waits or six hour waits at the airport and it's just I just don't believe these people are happy.

00:24:20.000 I just can't imagine they're happy.

00:24:22.000 Living in Canada.

00:24:24.000 All the Canadian people I know are like, trying to come to America.

00:24:27.000 I'm not even kidding though!

00:24:29.000 And then it was funny, I was hanging out with some Canadian friends and I was ragging on Canada and they were getting really mad. 0.98

00:24:34.000 They were like, you Americans are so arrogant. 0.96

00:24:35.000 And I'm like, you're trying so hard to come here, dude. 0.99

00:24:38.000 And they're like, that's still Americans are so arrogant. 0.95

00:24:42.000 I'm like, yeah, you want to be here.

00:24:47.000 I agree that American arrogance is grotesque because we really need to live the ideals of the constitution.

00:24:52.000 You know, it's not just, it's not fair to like rest on our laurels because they worked so hard and intelligently to build that awesome document.

00:24:59.000 And yeah, I don't know.

00:25:00.000 I think this country is going to implode.

00:25:03.000 Like, I didn't want to lead with this story, but I was talking about the DOD earlier saying they're going to keep performing abortions regardless of whether the states ban them.

00:25:10.000 And I'm like, what happens if a woman... Let's say you've got an active service personnel who lives in Texas, where they just banned abortion. 1.00

00:25:21.000 And she goes to a military base to get an abortion. 1.00

00:25:23.000 And they have a civilian doctor contracting on the military base to perform abortions.

00:25:29.000 I'm pretty sure.

00:25:30.000 I don't know about Texas, but I know there are laws that say that if you leave to pursue an abortion or aid in a bet someone getting an abortion, you can be criminally charged.

00:25:39.000 So I'm feeling like in Texas.

00:25:42.000 If you live in the state, then go to federal jurisdiction.

00:25:45.000 The federal government's like, don't worry, you can't be prosecuted for what we do here.

00:25:48.000 It's legal.

00:25:48.000 When you come back, they'll be like, no, we have a law that says it doesn't matter where you go to do it.

00:25:52.000 It's illegal.

00:25:53.000 So I think about stuff like that.

00:25:54.000 And I'm like, yeah, I think the U.S.

00:25:56.000 is kind of about to explode, you know?

00:25:59.000 But, but, you know, I say that just to provide a little like juxtaposition to this good news about the culture war, because I don't think it means that the end is nigh. 0.52

00:26:09.000 It just means we're in for a conflict.

00:26:11.000 A revolution.

00:26:12.000 Or something.

00:26:13.000 Something.

00:26:14.000 What, I mean, from the libertarian take, what we're hoping for is to move towards peaceful decentralization.

00:26:20.000 And the first step in that is, and this is something I'm working on with You Are The Power, is local, county, and state-level nullification of bad laws higher up the food chain that they don't like.

00:26:32.000 Like the NFA.

00:26:33.000 Like the NFA.

00:26:34.000 You know, Missouri became a Second Amendment sanctuary state.

00:26:37.000 And I think New Hampshire just did.

00:26:38.000 Yes, and what the ATF has already said, and Border Patrol had to say this with the Immigration Sanctuary States, and I mean, we know that they've had to do this with all the Cannabis Sanctuary States, that without the local authorities doing the, like, over 90% of the heavy lifting and the actual enforcement of these laws, it's functionally impossible for them to be able to do it.

00:26:58.000 Love to see it.

00:26:59.000 Good!

00:27:00.000 That's good.

00:27:01.000 Well, California started it.

00:27:03.000 They wanted to do all the immigration stuff, and now we're going to see all the two-way stuff. 0.74

00:27:06.000 And the cannabis stuff.

00:27:07.000 And the cannabis stuff.

00:27:08.000 Immigration and cannabis.

00:27:09.000 Okay, great.

00:27:09.000 Well, now we're doing it for everything.

00:27:10.000 That's right.

00:27:11.000 And the beauty of that is not just the real-world implications of being able to nullify bad state and federal policy at the local level.

00:27:18.000 It also empowers the citizen to know that their vote isn't just cast into the ether.

00:27:23.000 They can take over their city, their county, and eventually their state, and get rid of all the garbage that they don't have the wherewithal to stop at Capitol Hill.

00:27:30.000 They can just stop it from being effectively enforced where they live.

00:27:32.000 Where we are right now in Maryland, there are, I think, I think it's three counties signed letters saying they wanted to secede from Maryland to join West Virginia.

00:27:41.000 It's never gonna happen, but the county we're in actually declared a two-way sanctuary.

00:27:47.000 It doesn't mean a whole lot, because the state didn't, and so you still gotta get clearance from the state police to make sure, because the laws make no sense here for guns.

00:27:56.000 But up in New Hampshire, the governor just signed a bill that said they're no longer going to cooperate with the feds, and people need to understand, the feds don't have the ability to police this country.

00:28:04.000 At all.

00:28:04.000 It's not even close.

00:28:05.000 The states have to do it for them.

00:28:07.000 So the interesting thing is, when I'm reading about what was happening with the DOD basically saying, like, we're gonna keep doing abortions regardless of what the state law is, I'm like, Can federal agents be arrested for breaking state laws?

00:28:22.000 Do you know the answer to that question?

00:28:25.000 I mean, the states can certainly arrest them for it.

00:28:27.000 It's then going to have to work its way through adjudication to see if that's upheld.

00:28:31.000 The simple answer is, well obviously of course.

00:28:34.000 If an FBI agent is caught robbing a bank, of course he's going to get charged.

00:28:41.000 But what I mean is, if in their duties as federal officers they break state law, can the state arrest them?

00:28:49.000 I think you have a duty to do it because, I mean, the union as it stands is just a contract amongst the states.

00:28:55.000 The only thing, the only reason the federal government even exists is because we're letting it exist per our contract with the Constitution.

00:29:02.000 Well, they say that federal, so this is an interesting thing, they say it's a supremacy clause, things like that.

00:29:07.000 The federal government's laws supersede the state.

00:29:10.000 So if California says weed's legal and the feds say no it's not, the feds can go into California and enforce their law.

00:29:17.000 But what about the inverse?

00:29:18.000 What if the feds say a cop carrying a high capacity magazine, as it's defined by these blue states, they say, no, no, no, police aren't allowed to carry those either now.

00:29:29.000 And the feds go in with Glock 17s.

00:29:31.000 Can the state say, I don't care who you are.

00:29:34.000 I don't care what you're doing.

00:29:35.000 You broke the law.

00:29:37.000 That's what I can't find.

00:29:38.000 I think you've predicted one of the next big contentious things to be handled at the federal court level because that is likely to happen.

00:29:46.000 As the gap between what the federal government's priorities and rules are and what the state's priorities and rules are, that's going to lead to conflict.

00:29:56.000 And it's not happening in Washington, D.C.

00:29:58.000 It's not happening on federal land.

00:30:00.000 It's happening on state property, in state jurisdictions.

00:30:03.000 That's who's likely to get arrested.

00:30:05.000 We know the feds will arrest someone at the state level, you know, in a Texas second.

00:30:11.000 Let me actually, let's pull this story up and dive into it.

00:30:13.000 We have some NBC news.

00:30:14.000 Pentagon says Supreme Court's Roe ruling won't affect abortions on military facilities.

00:30:20.000 Right.

00:30:20.000 The military will continue providing abortions in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life is at risk, a top Pentagon official said.

00:30:27.000 Okay.

00:30:28.000 Texas does not allow those exceptions.

00:30:30.000 Rape and incest.

00:30:31.000 Only the health of the mother. 0.98

00:30:32.000 Right.

00:30:32.000 The life of the mother.

00:30:34.000 So my question is, Let's say you have a civilian doctor and a female army personnel. 0.98

00:30:44.000 She lives off base.

00:30:44.000 She's married.

00:30:46.000 Civilian doctor does not live on base, but he contracts the hospital on base.

00:30:50.000 Or not even that.

00:30:50.000 He doesn't need to be civilian.

00:30:51.000 Let's say he's active duty military as well, lives off base.

00:30:55.000 They both, living under the jurisdiction of Texas, are subject to its laws and rules.

00:31:01.000 If you are in the army and you break the law, you face military court and civilian court.

00:31:07.000 You get in trouble two times.

00:31:09.000 So we know they have to obey the laws.

00:31:12.000 Obviously, you can't have a person to be like, I'm in the military so I can do what I want.

00:31:15.000 So they go into the military base, she gets an abortion, the doctor performs it.

00:31:20.000 There is now a record of that having occurred and the US government has said you cannot be criminally charged or penalized civilly for having this procedure regardless of the state law.

00:31:31.000 Right.

00:31:32.000 But some of these states have actually, I don't know if they've passed them yet, they say if you aid and abet an abortion you're guilty of a crime.

00:31:39.000 So that means the doctor and the woman, regardless of where it's performed, coming back into that state could be arrested because they have committed the crime, according to that state.

00:31:49.000 Right.

00:31:49.000 What happens if the state then says, we don't care what the Fed said, and they arrest this contractor or two active duty military and the military is like, you can't arrest them.

00:31:58.000 It's not illegal.

00:31:58.000 And they say, it is here.

00:31:59.000 Yeah.

00:31:59.000 What happens when states start arresting military personnel?

00:32:02.000 Well, I think there are three things there.

00:32:04.000 One is the what happens when the states start arresting them.

00:32:07.000 The second part is, is a law that says you can't do something effectively somewhere else, somewhere outside of our jurisdiction.

00:32:15.000 Is that going to be able to hold up in court?

00:32:17.000 And then also the question of specific to this, uh, what if the feds just stop recording it?

00:32:21.000 What if the feds just, it's, you know, no questions asked, uh, abortions being performed and they just don't, you know, I got one more for you. 0.74

00:32:28.000 Okay.

00:32:29.000 Woman's in the military. 1.00

00:32:31.000 She is married.

00:32:32.000 Hmm.

00:32:33.000 They get pregnant. 0.91

00:32:34.000 The man says, I really think we should have this kid.

00:32:37.000 And she says, I don't.

00:32:38.000 And he says, I refuse to allow the abortion to happen.

00:32:42.000 I think it's wrong.

00:32:42.000 I think it's murder.

00:32:44.000 And she says, too bad.

00:32:46.000 He knows where she goes.

00:32:48.000 He knows who does it.

00:32:49.000 And he reports it to the local state, to the state police.

00:32:52.000 You know, maybe they're not married.

00:32:53.000 Cause I don't know if a husband would do that, but let's say there's like, Oh, she hooks up with a guy. 1.00

00:32:57.000 Yeah.

00:32:57.000 Whatever.

00:32:58.000 And the guy's just like, I refuse to allow you to get an abortion. 0.84

00:33:00.000 I reject this.

00:33:01.000 So he reports her.

00:33:02.000 It doesn't matter if the feds are tracking it or not, if you have a witness come out

00:33:06.000 and then the feds take the active duty person in and say we're going to interrogate you

00:33:10.000 for part of our investigation.

00:33:12.000 And she says yes I did it and it was legal, it was on federal jurisdiction.

00:33:14.000 And they say, okay, stand up, hands behind your back, you're under arrest, you have a

00:33:18.000 She's like, what?

00:33:19.000 How is this happening?

00:33:19.000 And they say, the law states if you aid and abet an abortion and go somewhere, it doesn't matter where it took place.

00:33:25.000 I don't know if Texas has that ruling, but the general idea, I suppose, is it's not necessarily the same thing as, I think it might have been like Iowa or Idaho, where they said if you aid and abet.

00:33:36.000 But if this military base is in Texas, The feds might be like, it happened on federal jurisdiction.

00:33:42.000 Texas might still say, you're still in Texas.

00:33:44.000 You still live under our laws.

00:33:47.000 And regardless of that, let's just say, letter of the law.

00:33:50.000 No, no, no, they can't do that, right?

00:33:52.000 Okay, well, according to James Buchanan, states weren't legally allowed to secede either, didn't stop them.

00:33:57.000 So what happens if you get a Christian conservative prosecutor in Texas who says, we have made it illegal to kill babies.

00:34:06.000 And then you went into a military base and killed a baby, I'm gonna charge you and I'm gonna take it all the way to the top because I believe it's the right thing to do.

00:34:13.000 It doesn't matter what the federal government thinks they're protected on, and then what?

00:34:16.000 The feds are gonna be like trying to pull their people out of the jail, filing lawsuits. 0.81

00:34:21.000 Does it end in a legal battle or does it end with the state police surrounding federal law enforcement vehicles at gunpoint and saying you're under arrest?

00:34:29.000 What happens then if a federal agent tries getting the woman out even though she's a known fugitive of state law?

00:34:36.000 Is it possible Texas then says you've aided and abetted a fugitive?

00:34:38.000 I don't care if you're doing it.

00:34:40.000 The feds have no authority to undermine our laws. 1.00

00:34:44.000 Think about it this way.

00:34:46.000 Let's say a federal agent, let's say a female member of the army murders a kid, hits him with a car, And it was on duty driving a military vehicle and the kid dies.

00:34:56.000 And the state says, you were driving recklessly.

00:34:59.000 We have a witness.

00:34:59.000 You're under arrest.

00:35:00.000 And then the military says, no, she was on, she was active duty.

00:35:03.000 It was an accident.

00:35:04.000 We reject those charges.

00:35:05.000 What happens?

00:35:06.000 Oh, there, I mean, that's obvious, right?

00:35:08.000 Like if it's, if it's, if it's on, you know, in the jurisdiction of the state where this gets mucky would be if she did it on a military base and the military said, we're handling it.

00:35:17.000 And the state said, no, it's in our jurisdiction.

00:35:19.000 My understanding of that is that that wouldn't be their jurisdiction.

00:35:22.000 Let's try this.

00:35:23.000 But we could also talk about, there could be a prosecutor who says, you know, reality of power, stop me.

00:35:29.000 Right.

00:35:29.000 The court said I can't do it.

00:35:31.000 The Supreme Court said I can't do it.

00:35:32.000 I'm doing it anyway.

00:35:33.000 Come and stop me.

00:35:34.000 So just throwing hypotheticals out there.

00:35:36.000 I'm not saying any of these are like highly probable.

00:35:39.000 Pizza delivery guy.

00:35:41.000 He goes, he drives on a base and they're like, what are you here for?

00:35:43.000 And he's like, I got to deliver a pizza to base housing.

00:35:45.000 And they're like, all right, we're gonna search your vehicle and then you're cool.

00:35:47.000 And then he's driving in and then while on duty as an MP, she crashes into him, flips him over, killing him.

00:35:53.000 And she was, she was not paying attention and she made an illegal lane change. 0.94

00:35:56.000 Yeah.

00:35:56.000 And the military says, we're not prosecuting this, we think it was an accident.

00:36:00.000 And then the family of the driver says, he's a civilian who's in our state, we reject this, we want him charged.

00:36:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:36:06.000 I think it's highly likely in most circumstances, in that case, they'd be like, it happened on a military base, the feds are gonna have to handle it.

00:36:11.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, I believe that there's already some long-standing precedent, both, I'm not even sure if it had to be judicial, I think that's understanding that on military base, that is federal land, that's not state jurisdiction.

00:36:23.000 So where the question arises then, where this starts to become more akin to the civil war is women going to federal military going to military bases when they're not active duty to get abortions the state knows they're doing it does the state say to the federal government stop breaking our laws or else and the feds say it's our military base you can't do anything about it and they say we will send in state police to arrest these women the moment they step foot out they're getting arrested because you are like 0.75

00:36:54.000 If people start going on a military basis, they say, and again, I know this is a bit of a stretch, they're gonna be providing abortions. 0.93

00:37:01.000 I think it's typically only done for military personnel on military bases.

00:37:05.000 But there are people on the left arguing for effectively using... Making them sanctuaries for abortions.

00:37:10.000 Right, exactly.

00:37:11.000 So my suggestion is, is this the direction we may be going?

00:37:15.000 Oh, very much.

00:37:16.000 I mean, you want to talk about a culture war?

00:37:18.000 There is a gap between those who see this as, you know, a woman exerting autonomy over her body against a clump of cells, a parasite, and other people are saying, no, this is a murder of a baby every bit as much as if the woman were to turn around and murder someone standing next to him.

00:37:34.000 And it's hard to have a compromise between that, right?

00:37:38.000 And so if this plays out and both sides are willing to go to the trenches over it, this could lead to what we're talking about, or even worse, on just even this specific subject.

00:37:46.000 You made a good point.

00:37:47.000 Reality of power.

00:37:48.000 That they can say whatever they want.

00:37:50.000 It doesn't matter.

00:37:50.000 It matters on who's willing to do something about it.

00:37:52.000 And so I suppose the issue is, let's take the moral issue of today with abortion and go back in time to slavery.

00:37:59.000 So let's say, in the North, they said, we've abolished slavery.

00:38:03.000 And then, let's say it's in Pennsylvania.

00:38:07.000 And so it's right on the border of Maryland, which was a slave state.

00:38:10.000 And then you have a military base there that has slaves, and they're like, we don't care that you abolished this, we're keeping the slaves.

00:38:15.000 We're just gonna do it anyway.

00:38:16.000 John Brown would probably lose it over that.

00:38:20.000 The abolitionists would be like, don't know, don't care. 0.84

00:38:22.000 You can't do this, it's wrong.

00:38:24.000 So what I fear is, it's just crazy to me that Texas would come out so strong.

00:38:31.000 No exceptions for rape or incest.

00:38:33.000 And the military says, we will.

00:38:35.000 We're getting to that point where You just need to imagine it this way.

00:38:39.000 If abortion is murder, at least in the eyes of the Christian conservatives, what they're basically saying is, we will keep killing children and you can't stop us.

00:38:48.000 Right.

00:38:49.000 Yeah.

00:38:49.000 At a certain point, law enforcement is going to be like, we have codified this in our law that you cannot do this and you are doing it.

00:38:55.000 Yeah.

00:38:55.000 Well, it's not murder.

00:38:57.000 I don't care what people believe.

00:39:00.000 It's not murder.

00:39:01.000 Let's keep that in mind.

00:39:02.000 Why is it not murder?

00:39:03.000 It's not illegal.

00:39:04.000 In Texas, it is.

00:39:05.000 Well, in certain places, if you do it in the wrong spot, you might consider it a murder.

00:39:09.000 Are you saying from a legal standpoint?

00:39:11.000 From a legal standpoint, murder is a legal term.

00:39:13.000 It's killing.

00:39:14.000 It's definitely a form of homicide.

00:39:16.000 I mean, it depends on if you consider the lump of cells a human.

00:39:18.000 At what point are they legally human?

00:39:20.000 It is illegal in Texas.

00:39:21.000 It is the unlawful killing of a person in Texas.

00:39:24.000 Is it a person from inception?

00:39:26.000 Did they codify that?

00:39:27.000 All I know is that abortions are illegal in Texas.

00:39:30.000 I don't think they've codified it as murder.

00:39:34.000 They've just codified it as a criminal action.

00:39:37.000 Otherwise, it wouldn't just be going after providers.

00:39:42.000 It would be if you have an abortion, if you're a pregnant woman that has an abortion, You can face the death penalty, for example. 0.68

00:39:48.000 I mean, that would be the level that would be at if they were... Could you imagine if the pro-life movement took it to the place where they were killing mothers for having abortions?

00:39:55.000 But, you know, you talk to Seamus, even.

00:39:57.000 He's very pro-life.

00:39:59.000 He wants a national ban, and even he doesn't want to go there.

00:40:01.000 Right.

00:40:02.000 He views it more as the doctors shouldn't be allowed to perform these things.

00:40:05.000 He's not going to penalize the mothers who are, you know, in these positions or whatever.

00:40:10.000 What really bothers me is the idea that a state would prosecute someone for something they did outside of the jurisdiction.

00:40:17.000 I don't understand that.

00:40:18.000 That bothers me the most out of all of this.

00:40:19.000 And I mean, we could talk about my concerns about how a war on abortion is just as successful as the war on drugs, war on terror, war on poverty, everything else.

00:40:28.000 What happens when you get government involved as a regulatory body on something like pregnancy and the harm that comes from that?

00:40:35.000 But just inside of this, the biggest thing I'm concerned of on a broader scale is the idea of, oh, you did that over there?

00:40:43.000 Yeah, no, don't ever come back or we'll arrest you.

00:40:45.000 Take that to its logical conclusion.

00:40:46.000 Are there any other instances in the United States?

00:40:50.000 I don't believe that would be held up.

00:40:52.000 There may be some rule, but as far as I can think, I can't think of an instance where going... because, I mean, you take that to its logical conclusion.

00:41:01.000 It's not just within the U.S.

00:41:02.000 That could mean someone that goes to, you know, the Netherlands and tries, you know, ketamine or tries cannabis or something, and then comes back to a state where it's illegal, gets arrested because they put it on social media that they did it.

00:41:15.000 Um, and then you could even get more obscure with things that like violate a bylaw in your county, but they don't violate a bylaw where you were.

00:41:23.000 The enforcement mechanism there would be horrific, and yeah, it needs to be... if there's going to be a semblance of rule of law, it's...

00:41:30.000 The jurisdiction you are under, those are the rules that you are under.

00:41:35.000 Not the crimes you committed and then come back, or the things you did there that were perfectly fine and legal, but then you come back home, or wherever you reside, and now it's illegal there, so now you're gonna be charged for a crime.

00:41:47.000 I mean, imagine, hard enough to figure out what's illegal in a given place where you are, to try to figure out what's illegal any place you would then go after that?

00:41:54.000 Yeah, I can't see that being held up.

00:41:57.000 That would be a major problem.

00:41:58.000 And like Tim said, we don't even know if Texas has that, but there are other states that have tried implementing that for abortion and some of these other things.

00:42:05.000 And it's politicians, honestly, virtue signaling to their base.

00:42:08.000 Not only can't they do it here, they can't do it anywhere.

00:42:10.000 Well, that's probably not going to be held up.

00:42:11.000 And would you want that to be held up?

00:42:13.000 Like, would you want the government to tell you what you can and can't do when you aren't even in under their jurisdiction?

00:42:18.000 I certainly wouldn't.

00:42:19.000 No, not at all.

00:42:20.000 Ian, I know you said, um, abortion is not murder, uh, from the legal standpoint of the word, but then what do you make of, uh, murdering a pregnant woman being considered double homicide?

00:42:35.000 Oh, it's homicide.

00:42:36.000 It's just not murder.

00:42:37.000 Homicide is the killing of a human.

00:42:38.000 Um, murder is the illegal, I don't know what's, they're different definitions.

00:42:42.000 So like murder is a form of homicide.

00:42:44.000 Okay.

00:42:45.000 I don't know if the abortion bans are considering abortion homicide though.

00:42:49.000 They're not.

00:42:49.000 In Louisiana, I think they tried to codify that and then it got bumped right back.

00:42:53.000 No one wants to do that, man.

00:42:54.000 No one wants to touch that.

00:42:55.000 Mary's point was in, I think Scott Peterson, I think Seamus brought that up.

00:43:00.000 I don't know if it's a Peterson case.

00:43:01.000 Yes.

00:43:02.000 Yeah.

00:43:02.000 He got charged with double homicide because he killed Lacey Peterson and their unborn child.

00:43:07.000 Right.

00:43:07.000 So there are jurisdictions where if a woman is pregnant, you punch her in the stomach, you can get charged with murder.

00:43:13.000 Yep.

00:43:14.000 Actual murder.

00:43:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:15.000 Actual, like... If the mother survives.

00:43:17.000 Or manslaughter, yeah. 1.00

00:43:18.000 You kill the baby. 1.00

00:43:19.000 She miscarries. 1.00

00:43:20.000 Yeah.

00:43:20.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:43:20.000 Okay.

00:43:21.000 Well, just to clarify, you can get charged with murdering the baby if you punch her in the gut, right?

00:43:25.000 Murder, manslaughter, it depends on... I believe it's state by state, because I know in California, and a lot of people thought how ironic California, which is, you know, when it comes to abortion, the most, you know, liberal on that subject.

00:43:38.000 But when Scott Peterson killed Lacey Peterson and her child, He was charged with double homicide, with double murder.

00:43:43.000 That's very strange for California.

00:43:46.000 They're like, no, no, no, he did kill her, but the rest was a clump of cells.

00:43:50.000 It comes down to the argument that, well, it all depends on the mother's intent because she wanted to keep the unborn child.

00:43:57.000 No, I didn't say it made sense.

00:44:00.000 Age of the will, where your will equates to the truth of the matter.

00:44:05.000 Yeah, no, if it comes down to, if a state, because really it comes down to personhood, right?

00:44:09.000 Like if a state has decided that personhood doesn't begin until birth, or some point after conception, and this fetus, unborn child, whatever you want to call it, hasn't reached that point of personhood yet, well then that would mean whether it was through an abortion, or through someone killing the mother, or attacking the mother, and the fetus, unborn person dies, you would have to, it would either always be Homicide, or a crime, or it would always not be that, because that thing doesn't have personhood.

00:44:39.000 Yeah, I would think there's a value to the intricacy of killing an unborn fetus that maybe isn't considered a person, that's different than just destroying a cell block, but also maybe not as horrific as like a murder charge.

00:44:52.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:53.000 Some kind of a crime was committed, but not necessarily murder, if you're going the route of saying that it doesn't have personhood yet.

00:44:58.000 Check this out.

00:44:59.000 I just Google-searched this.

00:45:01.000 The Unborn Victims of Violence Act is a United States law that recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence.

00:45:14.000 The law defines child in utero as a member of the species of Homo sapiens at any stage of development.

00:45:19.000 The law is codified in two sections of U.S.

00:45:21.000 code, blah blah blah.

00:45:23.000 The law applies only to certain offenses over which the U.S.

00:45:25.000 government has jurisdiction, including certain crimes committed on federal properties, against certain federal officials and employees, and by members of the military.

00:45:33.000 In addition, it covers certain crimes that are defined by statute as federal offenses wherever they occur.

00:45:38.000 So, look, to put it simply, if you kill an unborn baby, since 2004 it has been considered a crime and the embryo is a legal victim.

00:45:46.000 A person, too, according to what you were saying there.

00:45:48.000 What's the name of that again?

00:45:49.000 The Unborn Victims of Violence Act.

00:45:51.000 Yeah, that was the Bush administration and the GOP Congress's kind of foot in the door of normalizing the idea of like, you know, this is an unborn child.

00:45:59.000 It's also a victim for future reference as, you know, and this is also why abortion should be banned or restricted or whatever.

00:46:07.000 So this was Bush's way of signaling that the unborn fetus is a person.

00:46:13.000 Not just signaling, but actually creating the legal mechanism to build upon in the future.

00:46:18.000 The camel's nose under the tent, and a few years later you've got a full camel in your tent.

00:46:23.000 The purpose behind that, as Tim noted, that's for federal offenses or for federal personnel, like military personnel or whatever.

00:46:33.000 So like, if it's outside of federal jurisdiction, that doesn't apply.

00:46:36.000 So the whole purpose of that, even though it's very limited when it could ever be used, the whole purpose of that, yes, was to signal to the base, but also to create that infrastructure or that legal mechanism to make future build-upons in the future.

00:46:49.000 This would mean that in Washington, D.C., for instance, If you committed one of these listed crimes against a pregnant woman resulting in the death of the fetus, then you're... You're charged with this.

00:46:59.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:00.000 But I guess what is the charge?

00:47:02.000 Is it feticide?

00:47:04.000 Is it homicide?

00:47:05.000 Is it murder, manslaughter?

00:47:08.000 How do they handle it?

00:47:10.000 That I don't know.

00:47:10.000 I guess if it's a legal victim and considered a person, it would just be homicide.

00:47:14.000 Or whatever they did to it.

00:47:16.000 Basically, whatever you did to the fetus, had you done it to a post-born person, whatever, it's the same crime.

00:47:26.000 It's murder.

00:47:26.000 The title of the bill is, An Act to Amend Title 18 U.S.

00:47:31.000 Code and the Uniform Code of Military Justice to Protect Unborn Children from Assault and Murder and for Other Purposes.

00:47:37.000 So quite literally, they refer to it as murder.

00:47:38.000 Yeah, if it was killed, it would be murder or manslaughter or whatever.

00:47:41.000 Abortion's not part of this. 0.95

00:47:42.000 It's an exception.

00:47:43.000 It's abortion. 1.00

00:47:44.000 But I could imagine this argument happening where they're like, well, abortion should be considered part of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act.

00:47:51.000 So we got to be real careful that they don't start interweaving these without people understanding what's happening. 0.97

00:47:57.000 Because if a mother goes in for an abortion and then gets charged with murder because of some stupid law, that's going to just unravel the fabric of society. 1.00

00:48:05.000 We've got to not start punishing women for... 1.00

00:48:07.000 This is, I believe, a gray area right now, because the Roe v. Wade decision, they decided, they sidestepped the question of, is this a Ninth Amendment issue where abortion is an unenumerated right, or is it a Tenth Amendment issue where this was never covered under the Constitution and therefore it should be left to the states or the people?

00:48:25.000 Instead, they sidestepped and said, well, it's really a question of privacy.

00:48:27.000 It's a violation of privacy.

00:48:29.000 And so, in overturning this, the current Supreme Court said not only it's not a privacy issue, they said it's also not a Ninth Amendment issue, but they said it's a Tenth Amendment issue, meaning it should be left to the states.

00:48:42.000 So, at least as it was decided, it did not sound like they had an appetite for a federal ban on abortion.

00:48:49.000 The fascinating thing to me in all of this, there was a tweet from a personality I saw on Twitter who was wondering why, he said something like, name any medical procedure where you have no right to privacy.

00:49:03.000 Why isn't this a thing, blah blah blah, and I was like, did you read Roe?

00:49:08.000 Because I don't think any of these people actually know what the point of Roe was or the decision, one of which was stated by the Supreme Court.

00:49:15.000 The fetus itself is a living being with a right to privacy.

00:49:18.000 Therefore, the question of an abortion is not about a single person, but about two persons, which is why we ended up with the trimester ruling.

00:49:27.000 Basically, they said, okay, in the first trimester, you can get an abortion, but afterwards, now you have to consider the person's life, which is the baby.

00:49:33.000 And then with Casey, they said it's viability, it's not trimester.

00:49:37.000 I don't think any of these people realize that.

00:49:39.000 They keep saying things like, my body, my choice, and you're like, read Rowe.

00:49:43.000 They're specifically saying at a certain point, you have to recognize there are two bodies here.

00:49:47.000 They don't even recognize that.

00:49:49.000 In the federal law, they actually have a photo here on the Wikipedia page of a woman named Tracy Marciniak holding the body of her son.

00:49:55.000 She was seriously injured in an assault during the ninth month of her pregnancy.

00:50:01.000 So that's what I often say.

00:50:02.000 I don't understand why there is a legal distinction Between two babies of the exact same amount of time since conception, but one has been removed from the womb and one hasn't.

00:50:14.000 Why is there a legal protection for one but not the other?

00:50:17.000 I don't understand any logical or moral statement.

00:50:22.000 Mostly because the woman still has the protection. 0.99

00:50:24.000 The protection's like deferred to the mother if the baby's in the womb. 0.78

00:50:29.000 But that still doesn't fly.

00:50:31.000 Like, if a mother was shielding her baby from your assault, and you ended up hurting her hands and killing the baby, you still committed homicide against the baby.

00:50:40.000 Well, like, if a pregnant woman goes and kills someone, you don't charge the baby with accomplice to murder.

00:50:46.000 No.

00:50:46.000 No, because, but it's a second person that was there, you know, and doing,

00:50:50.000 going through all the motions with them.

00:50:51.000 Like it's an argument that you don't, the baby's not, not able to,

00:50:55.000 the baby's not able to make choices at that stage.

00:50:58.000 So you can't treat it like it, but why would you like?

00:51:02.000 Kidnapping someone while you commit crimes, we don't say that the kidnapped victim is responsible for the crime.

00:51:07.000 Bringing your child to a bank robbery, we don't hold the child responsible for you bringing him there.

00:51:11.000 They happen to be occupying the same physical space.

00:51:14.000 There's two parallel debates here.

00:51:16.000 One is the personhood debate.

00:51:17.000 When does this cease to be a clump of cells and when does it become a full-fledged person that has the same legal and moral and ethical protections that anyone else would have?

00:51:27.000 A secondary debate is, even if it has personhood at some point before birth, which I think, it's hard to argue that, like there's some magic moment passing through the womb, like, oh now it's magically a person!

00:51:38.000 But the secondary debate there becomes, you know, at what point, if ever, does one human life have the right to the, you know, connection to another human life for its subsistence?

00:51:52.000 And so that has been an argument that, you know, the mother, and that's why it comes down to what the mother wanted or intended or decided, is the idea, well, that the mother shouldn't have to be, you know, should the mother have to be, you know, tied to and be providing, you know, subsistence to and risking, you know, her life and health for a second person, even if it is an actual, you know, recognized person.

00:52:16.000 Does that, does that... Go ahead.

00:52:19.000 Oh no, I was gonna say, this is where it gets interesting, because if you look at polling across the board over the past several decades, most people, you'll see the left will be like, 80% of people are pro-choice.

00:52:28.000 And I'm like, yeah, but they also really resent and reject elective abortion.

00:52:33.000 Because the average person, when you're asking about abortion, they think, they imagine this woman who's crying and being like, I have no choice, you know, I need to make the right decision for my life and my family, and I wish it wasn't this way.

00:52:46.000 But instead you have like 93% of abortions are elective, no reason given.

00:52:50.000 Many women use it as a form of contraception. 1.00

00:52:53.000 Most people don't like that.

00:52:54.000 So when you look at... I actually went through tons of data!

00:52:59.000 All these different polls, all these different institutions.

00:53:01.000 Because I'm like, okay, they're saying, I can't believe that most people in this country are just like totally fine with abortion as contraception.

00:53:07.000 And people keep saying they do.

00:53:09.000 And it's like, when you actually look at the questions asked, you realize, actually, they're not okay with elective abortion.

00:53:13.000 And they're very much in line with, I think, how Oklahoma's been handling it.

00:53:17.000 Meaning, abortion is legal in any legitimate circumstance.

00:53:22.000 Legitimate being a very, very narrow band of acceptable causes for why abortion can happen.

00:53:27.000 And most people, I think it's more than two-thirds, around 70, say abortion should only happen with a legitimate reason.

00:53:33.000 And I'm like, that's actually very restrictive.

00:53:35.000 That would get rid of 93% of abortions. 1.00

00:53:38.000 You're not hearing that when it comes to what the left is actually arguing when they're talking about this.

00:53:43.000 So I bring that up because you mentioned the woman is providing her body to the child.

00:53:49.000 And this is an important distinction.

00:53:51.000 In the issue of rape and incest, I actually think you have a very, very difficult position.

00:53:57.000 But in this instance especially, I think women have a right to abortion, particularly because If you're going to make the argument that women made irresponsible choices and then got pregnant. 0.71

00:54:08.000 Rape's not an irresponsible choice. 0.99

00:54:09.000 Right, it's victimhood.

00:54:11.000 And so here's the challenge, because I've argued this with Seamus.

00:54:14.000 If a woman says, I'm gonna go party tonight, I don't need protection, and then gets pregnant, then someone makes the point, the government can't mandate she provide her body to another being, it's like, well hold on, she made the choice to provide her body to that being, and now wants to rescind it. 0.61

00:54:30.000 It's not that she made the choice specifically thinking it would happen, but she engaged in the behavior which results in that it happened, and now theirs are being dependent upon her.

00:54:37.000 So it's like, If you agree to a medical procedure that would provide a direct link to another person's blood, and then after two weeks said, I want to shut this down, they'd be like, well now you'd be killing the person.

00:54:51.000 It's a different story as opposed to someone forcefully jammed, you know, fused your body with someone else, human centipede style.

00:54:58.000 Then I'd be like, you had no right to do that and you can't hold it against me.

00:55:01.000 But the incest thing isn't victimhood either. 0.98

00:55:05.000 Incest is a consensual... I disagree.

00:55:08.000 Well, there could be rape involved in an incest situation, but if a brother and sister decide to have a baby together, I don't understand how that would be different than having a child with some sort of deformity in the womb.

00:55:19.000 I do understand your point, and I think there is an important moral distinction to be made that individuals can choose to engage in that behavior.

00:55:27.000 But I also think incest has a special space in that it results in serious problems.

00:55:33.000 It can.

00:55:34.000 Inbreeding, they would call it.

00:55:37.000 That's why it's illegal, actually.

00:55:39.000 But so can any kind of deformity.

00:55:40.000 If you find out at three weeks or seven weeks that the child has a brain deformity or something, then it's basically like an incest gone wrong.

00:55:49.000 Right, but also, I mean, the reason they say rape and incest is very often incest is rape. 0.82

00:55:54.000 It is rape within the family. 0.89

00:55:56.000 Like, the power dynamics alone of, you know, a father having sex with and impregnating a daughter, that's rape. 0.97

00:56:02.000 It would be very hard to argue, especially if you've got a very young daughter or something like that. 0.89

00:56:08.000 Statutory rape.

00:56:09.000 Yeah, well, not just statutory, but also from the standpoint of, like, this is a child. 0.78

00:56:13.000 Like, it's pedophilia or hebephilia or whatever you want to call it.

00:56:16.000 So it is also an act of sexual assault or rape in addition to the fact that they're related.

00:56:23.000 So that's because the child can't consent.

00:56:28.000 The idea is, legally, a child until they're 18 cannot consent, so it's a form of rape.

00:56:31.000 But if they call it statutory, it's not actual.

00:56:33.000 You're making the distinction of, like, two consenting adults.

00:56:36.000 Two consenting adult siblings that get pregnant, should they just be able to go get the baby aborted at five months? 0.68

00:56:41.000 I mean, it's a good point, because we certainly are not okay with the idea of eugenics-based abortion, where it's like, I don't like the baby. 0.66

00:56:51.000 I'm told the baby will not be well, therefore get rid of it.

00:56:53.000 Because if the incest is the same argument, then...

00:56:56.000 But I want to point something out because I saw a meme and it's the two arms coming together with like two distinct ideas and then coming together over one.

00:57:05.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:57:07.000 And it's slavery and abortion and then together it said denying personhood rights.

00:57:11.000 And I was like, ah, that's really funny because it's Democrats that are denying personhood today.

00:57:15.000 And then I was going to make a joke.

00:57:16.000 I was like, you know who else denied personhood rights?

00:57:19.000 And I was going to put the Confederates. 0.98

00:57:20.000 And then I was like, wait, those are the Democrats too.

00:57:22.000 It's literally just the Democrats.

00:57:25.000 I want to tell you, I mean, I don't know how much longer you wanted to talk about this, so I do want to get this in.

00:57:30.000 I actually personally consider myself pro-life.

00:57:32.000 I think that abortions are more often than not gruesome and regrettable things.

00:57:36.000 The reason that I really do not like the idea of government getting involved in this is because if you look at how government handles things, they never just handle this.

00:57:45.000 They, by their very nature, there's mission creep and they just keep getting more and more and more involved.

00:57:51.000 If they take the turn of saying, this is a constitutionally protected person inside of your body and we have to make sure this person is not killed, that doesn't end there.

00:57:59.000 It is also, we need to make sure you're taking care of this person.

00:58:02.000 And if we're making sure you're taking care of this person, we need to make sure that you're getting regular inspections.

00:58:06.000 And if there's a miscarriage, we're going to have to investigate that.

00:58:09.000 And you know what?

00:58:10.000 You're going to need to be taking, you know, keep your vitamin levels at a certain level and keep your BMI below a certain level.

00:58:15.000 This inevitably, if you look at the history of how government ends up regulating things, This will inevitably, at some point, especially once the progressives decide that they've lost this battle and they're just gonna fight it on the other side, it will lead to pregnancy licensing.

00:58:29.000 And if that sounds insane, by the way, for anyone who thinks that sounds insane, go back a hundred years and tell someone all the things they have to have a license to do right now.

00:58:37.000 And now go forward 10, 20 years and tell someone that you could have an unlicensed pregnancy and look at the look of horror on their face.

00:58:44.000 And whenever something has to be licensed or regulated, here come the rent-seeking crony lobbyists who want to make sure that their prenatal vitamin is mandated.

00:58:51.000 So now what used to be $8 a month is now $500 a month and who knows if your insurance is going to cover it and you're going to end up inevitably in a situation.

00:58:59.000 Because abortion, illegal abortions will always be available, there will always be a black market for it, where poor women who are unable to afford a legal, regulated pregnancy end up getting an illegal abortion who would have otherwise kept the child because they can't afford the burden of getting a legal pregnancy and it's way easier to hide an illegal abortion than an illegal pregnancy.

00:59:19.000 I think that's a ridiculous notion that anyone's miscarriage would be investigated in the circumstance that, you know, abortion would be federally banned or... But then anyone could just say they miscarried instead of having an abortion.

00:59:35.000 Roe v. Wade was the start of the government encroaching upon women's bodies. 1.00

00:59:40.000 Like that's the... What do you mean by that?

00:59:41.000 That's the new precedent.

00:59:43.000 They shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.

00:59:46.000 Well the involvement was saying whether or not they could do it.

00:59:48.000 That was the beginning of their regulating pregnancy and... So just read that one.

00:59:55.000 Yeah, I want to hear the full story.

00:59:56.000 having miscarriages. Now it could be wrong. It could be wrong, right? They say a 21-year-old

01:00:02.000 Native American woman from Oklahoma was convicted of manslaughter after having a miscarriage.

01:00:06.000 People were outraged, but she was not alone. They say she was sentenced to four years in

01:00:10.000 prison for the first-degree manslaughter of her unborn son.

01:00:13.000 Was she doing drugs? 1.00

01:00:14.000 Maybe.

01:00:15.000 That's what I've seen a couple cases like this and I was like, what the heck is this

01:00:18.000 story?

01:00:19.000 The examiner did not determine the cause of death, noting genetic anomaly, placenta abruption,

01:00:23.000 or maternal methamphetamine use could have been contributing factors. So it was the drug

01:00:27.000 use.

01:00:28.000 Yes, but it led to an investigation. And the problem is if you've criminalized abortion,

01:00:34.000 then the easy loophole, if they're not actively investigating miscarriages, is to just say,

01:00:38.000 oopsie, got a miscarriage, right?

01:00:39.000 And so that can trigger... I mean, it's not like every single time they're gonna, you know, have someone and they're gonna be drilling them and putting the lights on them and all of that.

01:00:46.000 But at the very least, there has to be some follow-up by law enforcement to make sure this was a legitimate miscarriage.

01:00:52.000 Now imagine being a woman who's just had a miscarriage. 0.99

01:00:55.000 I don't think that that is inevitable.

01:00:57.000 Do you think that before 1973, every woman who had a miscarriage was getting investigated?

01:01:03.000 No, actually before 1973 and really before the restrictions that started a few decades prior, abortion was actually something that was largely unregulated in the U.S.

01:01:14.000 And so it wasn't really coming into the late 19th and early 20th century was actually when you saw the ban starting.

01:01:22.000 I will tell you, I mean, if you take it to its logical conclusion, because otherwise, if that's not the case, then really there is no effective ban on abortion.

01:01:30.000 They can just all say they miscarry.

01:01:31.000 The reason you might have seen bans on abortion starting in the early 20th century is that's when contraception was taking off, but that's a whole other discussion.

01:01:41.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

01:01:41.000 No, I mean there were reasons for that, and the only point I'm making is that we haven't seen this exist long enough to see the logical conclusion of what happens when government gets their hooks into something.

01:01:53.000 Government tends to screw things up.

01:01:54.000 That's what concerns me about the Roe v. Wade overturn, is that now instead of one government involved in the regulation, there's 50 governments regulating it.

01:02:01.000 I don't know, but that's kind of a good thing.

01:02:02.000 I don't know, man.

01:02:03.000 I don't want the governments involved.

01:02:04.000 Because decentralization is better than centralization.

01:02:07.000 In general, it is.

01:02:07.000 Sometimes.

01:02:08.000 If you argue, you know, decentralization should go to the individual, right?

01:02:13.000 Ideally.

01:02:13.000 So if you're arguing that this is a woman's rights thing, then the obvious argument is that it goes back to the individual.

01:02:19.000 If you're arguing that there should be some regulation of this, then the argument would be that it should be handled at the state level.

01:02:25.000 I'm kind of transcending all of that and saying, I really just, the idea of government getting involved in something like this, you know, the war on drugs, more drugs.

01:02:33.000 I hear you on government involvement.

01:02:35.000 uh... the the the criminalization of otherwise peaceful human behavior

01:02:38.000 uh... the uh... militarization of the police no knock rates all of this came

01:02:42.000 from trying to uh... regulate the use of a substance in and

01:02:46.000 if you get them now involved in pregnancy then i'm just i'm very concerned that's gonna lead not not

01:02:51.000 immediately but you know years decades down the road what that leads to

01:02:54.000 especially once progressive say

01:02:56.000 and you know it's group will just regulate a lot of it that i i hear you

01:02:59.000 on government involvement the way i've described it is that

01:03:02.000 people recognize a problem and say, let's do a government program to fix it.

01:03:05.000 Yes.

01:03:05.000 So you have a wound on your arm and you slap a band-aid on it.

01:03:08.000 Yep.

01:03:08.000 A few months later, they say, ooh, that wound is looking festery and stinky.

01:03:11.000 Yep.

01:03:11.000 Let's put another band-aid on it!

01:03:12.000 Yep.

01:03:13.000 And they keep stacking up bandages on a festering, gangrenous wound they never solved.

01:03:17.000 Yep.

01:03:18.000 But, that being said, the problem's cultural.

01:03:21.000 It is very much cultural.

01:03:22.000 One of the reasons we didn't have the issue with abortion pre-1973 that we do today, or would, is because a very different culture.

01:03:28.000 Today it's like, shout your abortion.

01:03:31.000 Abortion at nine months.

01:03:33.000 You get an abortion and you get an abortion. 1.00

01:03:35.000 Lena Dunham coming out saying she wished she had one.

01:03:38.000 But she didn't.

01:03:39.000 But she didn't get pregnant. 1.00

01:03:40.000 She was saying she wished she just got pregnant so she could have an abortion.

01:03:43.000 She was like, all these women talk about it and I want to talk about it too. 1.00

01:03:45.000 And it's like, damn. 0.99

01:03:46.000 No, not the zombies, dude. 1.00

01:03:47.000 That's a complete psyop that anyone would think.

01:03:51.000 So I had to say psyop that, you know, anyone is favorable to that.

01:03:56.000 I think most people feel rather lukewarm or have mixed feelings about abortion.

01:04:01.000 No, not the zombies, dude.

01:04:03.000 Like Michelle Wolf did a whole bit where she was like, you get an abortion, yay! 1.00

01:04:08.000 And they're all cheering for it.

01:04:09.000 Yeah, but the masses, not the talking heads.

01:04:11.000 Oh, for sure, right, right, right.

01:04:12.000 Right, I see what you're saying, a psyop.

01:04:14.000 Yeah.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, regular, that's what I was saying.

01:04:15.000 Most people, and you'll get the polls, are like, we think abortion should only be allowed 0.97

01:04:19.000 with legitimate reasons.

01:04:20.000 And like, that eliminates 93% of abortion.

01:04:22.000 It's a much more nuanced take than either side wants to say.

01:04:25.000 There's not this large plurality that's like, yes, even if you've been raped, you have to carry the child.

01:04:31.000 Nor is this large, necessarily large plurality that's like, yeah, all the way up to the very moment of birth, we're cool with it.

01:04:37.000 But like you said, it's a cultural issue.

01:04:38.000 It's also an economic issue.

01:04:40.000 Like if you look at the surveys that have been done of women that get abortions, it's largely for economic reasons.

01:04:44.000 A lot of them are already mothers who have just made an economic decision. 0.91

01:04:48.000 Well, that's a problem that can be solved in an economic thing.

01:04:51.000 Most of it is no reason given.

01:04:54.000 Well, above reasons that are given economics is the main one.

01:04:57.000 And so the point of that is that, you know, I think that I wish that there was more focus put on addressing the concerns and reasons why women get abortions, getting rid of some of these ridiculous restrictions on adoption, which, by the way, pro-lifers agree with.

01:05:13.000 I hate watching pro-choicers or pro-abortion, whatever you want to call them, on Twitter and on Facebook going, well, you know, if these pro-lifers really cared, they'd want to loosen the restrictions on adoption.

01:05:22.000 Well, yeah, pro-lifers actually do want that.

01:05:25.000 They definitely want that. 0.98

01:05:26.000 They want adoption to be easier. 0.90

01:05:27.000 It's ridiculous.

01:05:27.000 Amy Coney Barrett's got, what, two adopted kids?

01:05:29.000 Yeah, no, they absolutely want that.

01:05:32.000 So that's a common point that we could all agree on.

01:05:35.000 Let's jump to some domestic issues.

01:05:36.000 We'll get off the abortion stuff for a bit.

01:05:38.000 We got this story from Jalopnik.

01:05:40.000 I love using leftist sources for this stuff.

01:05:42.000 Biden warns Americans gas prices will remain high as long as it takes.

01:05:48.000 Yes, right.

01:05:48.000 The president said gas prices will stay high to combat Putin and Russia's war on Ukraine.

01:05:54.000 I love it.

01:05:55.000 I love it.

01:05:55.000 He's basically saying don't vote for me.

01:05:57.000 I think it sounds like more of a threat than a warning.

01:06:00.000 Biden threatens Americans.

01:06:01.000 Gas prices will remain high as long as it takes.

01:06:04.000 You want Ukraine to win or not?

01:06:05.000 Now pay up.

01:06:06.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

01:06:07.000 So at a time when the Democrats are desperate to find someone to run in 2024 because they don't think Joe Biden's going to make it, Joe Biden's giving them all the reason to try and find someone else to run in 2024.

01:06:17.000 You know, here, I like the theory that, you know, there have been people that have said that he keeps like giving calls for help.

01:06:22.000 That he doesn't really want to be doing this and that he's like, you know, they won't just let me go eat ice cream and like he'll like come to like at different like candid moments where he'll be like, they told me to come out here and say this.

01:06:32.000 So I guess I have to say that this might be him.

01:06:34.000 Just like, you know, please like don't know.

01:06:36.000 I don't want to yeah.

01:06:37.000 Everyone's gonna have to pay higher gas prices. 0.82

01:06:38.000 Will you finally just replace me?

01:06:40.000 Can I go sit down somewhere?

01:06:41.000 Yeah, this is a blatant honesty.

01:06:43.000 I mean, the whole as long as it takes things is political propaganda, but he's basically acknowledging that it's not going to come back down.

01:06:50.000 Yeah, if you remove as long as it takes, this is an axiom.

01:06:52.000 This is as long as the policies that are in place are in place, the gas prices will remain high.

01:06:59.000 And it's crazy because it was, I believe, earlier this month that Biden did correctly acknowledge that right now the biggest bottleneck, at least in the U.S.

01:07:07.000 when it comes to domestic gas production, is at the refinery level.

01:07:12.000 But then he blamed the refiners and said, oh, you're not producing enough and you're profiting, you know, you're price gouging us.

01:07:19.000 And then the refiners came out and said, we're at like 96, 98% capacity.

01:07:23.000 If you, right now, lessen some of the environmental restrictions and regulations on us, we could increase capacity by double digits.

01:07:30.000 And if, at the same time, you allowed us to build some new refineries for the first time in decades, while simultaneously reducing some of these tariffs on the materials that we need to build the refineries, we could short-term fix it with reduction of regulations, and long-term fix it by building more refineries.

01:07:44.000 But, you know, he'd rather say hashtag Putin price hike.

01:07:47.000 Joe Biden said, when he was campaigning, he's going to transition us off of fossil fuels.

01:07:52.000 Imagine hearing him tell you that, voting for him, and then coming out and being like, Joe Biden doesn't control the price of gas.

01:08:00.000 Like, dude, he told you he was gonna do this.

01:08:02.000 It's like that Pikachu face meme where it's like, I'm gonna make gas prices go up.

01:08:06.000 Okay, gas prices go up.

01:08:09.000 How did this happen?

01:08:11.000 And you try and explain to them all of the reasons, some of which are BS.

01:08:14.000 They're like, it's corporate profits.

01:08:15.000 That explains everything.

01:08:16.000 Suddenly.

01:08:17.000 Yeah.

01:08:18.000 And I'm like, okay, break, break down for me the corporate profits thing.

01:08:20.000 And they're like, what do you mean?

01:08:21.000 Like, explain to me how much money they make.

01:08:23.000 Like, I don't know.

01:08:24.000 I just saw a meme on Facebook.

01:08:25.000 And I'm like, if inflation is through the roof, and the cost to produce oil has gone up, and the cost to drill for oil has gone up, that means their profits will increase to the same percentage point.

01:08:38.000 So I'll put it simply.

01:08:40.000 If you make $100 in profit and it costs you $75 to produce the oil, that's a 25% profit.

01:08:47.000 If the costs increase by 25% and then you increase the cost of fuel as you sell it by 25%, it will also look like your profits went up 25% but you retained the same level of buying power.

01:08:59.000 These people don't understand that.

01:09:00.000 So sure, maybe you can say, but they're still getting lots of profits.

01:09:04.000 That is true.

01:09:04.000 They are still making billions of dollars, but it's also absurd to be like, well, they should, they should sacrifice their profits for the sake of Joe Biden's energy policy.

01:09:14.000 No, no, look, I'll be, I'll be fair and say, yeah, they probably should work alongside with the government to lower prices, but we still can point out Joe Biden enacted a bunch of policies specifically to transition us off of fossil fuels.

01:09:26.000 But to be... and exactly.

01:09:27.000 I mean, he said, I'm going to do this.

01:09:29.000 And I was like, okay, good.

01:09:30.000 But now what they didn't realize is transitioned isn't like rainbows and unicorns. 0.94

01:09:35.000 Transition means make this prohibitively expensive so you have to do this.

01:09:39.000 That's what a transition that's forced by government looks like as opposed to a market-driven transition where it is unicorns, where it is look at this new thing that's way better as opposed to we're going to make this thing way worse in comparison.

01:09:49.000 You see these flight cancellations?

01:09:52.000 Yes.

01:09:52.000 You see this stuff?

01:09:53.000 Oh, I don't just see it.

01:09:54.000 I've heard about them.

01:09:54.000 I've been the victim of them, yes.

01:09:56.000 We've been too, like they abruptly will change someone's ticket.

01:09:59.000 Yeah, cancel their flight.

01:10:01.000 Or change it, right?

01:10:02.000 Didn't we have it like they just move someone's flight to the next day or something?

01:10:05.000 No, that was them doing it.

01:10:06.000 Yeah, they emailed me and they're like, oh yeah, he changed that.

01:10:09.000 He just didn't No, but there are stories in the press where people are saying that they just changed your flight to a later date or something.

01:10:17.000 I have gotten on an airplane, gotten a notification that the flight had been cancelled, and then just start getting up because I realize they're about to announce it to everyone else too, and they've done that before, yeah.

01:10:27.000 And we ended up having to stay, that was at Charlotte Airport, we ended up having to stay the night there.

01:10:31.000 And, like, I'm looking at it, I'm like, No, we're on the, we're on the plane.

01:10:34.000 I looked and the doors open.

01:10:35.000 I'm like, I'm like, we're getting off the plane.

01:10:37.000 And we did.

01:10:38.000 And sure enough, like as I'm getting off the plane, they're like, uh, everyone, we have an update.

01:10:42.000 And I'm like, yeah, the update is this flight is canceled.

01:10:44.000 See you tomorrow morning.

01:10:45.000 Uh, they said it was because of, um, oh, what did they say?

01:10:48.000 They always say maintenance.

01:10:49.000 And that's because of some kind of thing with the flight insurance.

01:10:51.000 They don't have to pay as much out or something like that.

01:10:53.000 But the reality is, uh, I talked to one of the pilots as we were leaving and they're like, yeah, we already went over our hours.

01:10:58.000 And they thought that these other pilots coming in would be able to do it, but they went over their hours too.

01:11:02.000 I talked to a pilot and he said most pilots are hitting their limit.

01:11:06.000 And so they're just, you know, so my question though is how?

01:11:11.000 Where did all the pilots go?

01:11:13.000 They quit during the vaccine mandates.

01:11:15.000 They were like, well, I'm not getting the jab, I'm out.

01:11:17.000 Furloughed in vaccine mandates.

01:11:19.000 And we were told, the media was like, they're not protesting vaccine mandates.

01:11:22.000 Everything's fine.

01:11:23.000 Yeah, a bunch of them probably quit.

01:11:25.000 I like the idea that everybody got raptured better because it sounds more fun.

01:11:30.000 The good pilots went to heaven.

01:11:33.000 We're all in hell.

01:11:34.000 I've been thinking about this because why are there shortages everywhere?

01:11:38.000 Where are people?

01:11:39.000 Why aren't people working?

01:11:41.000 Maybe it's the vaccine mandates.

01:11:42.000 And that could be really it that most people just said, I'm out.

01:11:47.000 I'm not doing it.

01:11:48.000 But where are those people?

01:11:49.000 I mean, they got to eat, right?

01:11:50.000 Black market.

01:11:51.000 But what are they doing?

01:11:52.000 They gotta make money doing something, but they're still not here.

01:11:55.000 So we went out, we went to the movies over Labor, I think it was Labor Day, and there's nobody anywhere.

01:12:01.000 And I'm just like, where are the humans?

01:12:02.000 Where are the humans?

01:12:03.000 So the fun conspiracy theory, it's not really a conspiracy, but the fun joke theory is that the rapture happened, and all of the people that got raptured, our memories of them was erased.

01:12:13.000 So now we're just sitting here wondering why all of the stores have labor shortages, why there's no pilots anymore.

01:12:18.000 They're all gone, and we just can't remember who they were.

01:12:21.000 Oh good, so I have a new nightmare.

01:12:24.000 Thank you for that.

01:12:24.000 That's good.

01:12:25.000 And then Seamus was like, that can't be true, you know, because Seamus is Catholic, right?

01:12:30.000 He would have to be raptured too, and I'm like, I don't know.

01:12:33.000 Someone found out they were wrong.

01:12:36.000 Yeah.

01:12:37.000 No, but in all seriousness, though, something doesn't make sense.

01:12:40.000 I think they're at home collecting unemployment.

01:12:42.000 But not for this long.

01:12:44.000 Not for this long.

01:12:44.000 They were canceling flights last year.

01:12:46.000 They were, yeah.

01:12:47.000 You're not going to get unemployment for two years for... I mean, we're going on... What is it, 18 months?

01:12:51.000 Is that the long...

01:12:52.000 They did extend it.

01:12:53.000 So there is actually an explanation for this.

01:12:56.000 When you pump trillions of dollars into the economy and artificially create demand while simultaneously paying people to do nothing, you create a bunch of consumers and reduce the number of producers.

01:13:08.000 And we're watching that play out in real time.

01:13:10.000 The way that corrects is through a massive recession, which is coming.

01:13:13.000 If it hasn't already started, it's coming.

01:13:15.000 And it is the reality of when, and this, by the way, Anyone who's still out there promoting modern monetary theory or UBI or any of that nonsense, this was a couple times of them handing off checks and expanding unemployment insurance by a little bit.

01:13:29.000 And look at what it led to.

01:13:31.000 It led to such a disruption in the market that everyone became net consumers and stopped producing.

01:13:38.000 And the ripple effects of that will be felt for years.

01:13:41.000 Should I take out a bunch of loans right now, is what you're saying?

01:13:43.000 Yes, you should take out loans, credit card debt, anything you have a title for, go to the title loan place.

01:13:50.000 This is the time to buy.

01:13:51.000 You've got to buy in.

01:13:52.000 Well, so the idea is if the recession is coming and the value of the dollar is going to tank, then the buying, so like a car that's worth 20 grand today is going to be worth 40 grand in a year.

01:14:03.000 You take out a loan for a $20,000 car and in a year you sell it for 40 grand, you pay off the loan, you got a free 20 grand.

01:14:09.000 I mean, that's some brave pool you're playing there, but yeah.

01:14:12.000 Well, what I mean to say is... That's some rich guy's game.

01:14:14.000 Right.

01:14:14.000 No, no, no.

01:14:15.000 That's what rich people do. 0.98

01:14:16.000 That is what rich people do.

01:14:16.000 No, that is what rich people do.

01:14:18.000 Except they do it on your back, right?

01:14:19.000 They do it with Fed money that just got freshly printed, and everything goes south, and they're too big to fail.

01:14:25.000 This is the point I'm making.

01:14:26.000 Right before the recession, they know that if they borrow $100,000, and then the buying power of that $100,000 collapses, They basically got a freebie.

01:14:35.000 Now they can sell whatever they bought because the price will spike.

01:14:39.000 The value of the dollar goes down, so you'll need twice as many dollars to buy it, so they'll get the free money.

01:14:44.000 Half the buying power with none of the work.

01:14:46.000 I can imagine that that breaks down at some point.

01:14:48.000 What's the inevitable conclusion of that Ponzi scheme?

01:14:51.000 It just keeps getting worse.

01:14:53.000 That's what we have right now.

01:14:54.000 So you look at the difference between the 2007-2008, the housing price bubble that then crashed and then caused the whole ripple effect to the recession, which then led to the whole concept of too big to fail and the TARP bailouts.

01:15:10.000 Add a zero to that, and that's what we're facing.

01:15:13.000 This is a whole, you know, this is an exponential, this is a whole order of magnitude higher of what we're facing now.

01:15:19.000 Like we're literally, instead of hundreds of billions and trillions, we're now talking trillions and tens of trillions.

01:15:25.000 And it's hard to quantify what the ripple effects are going to be, and they just keep feeding into it.

01:15:32.000 And that's why you see this, this, you know, they talk about the, uh, um, the, uh, yes.

01:15:38.000 Yes, 40% of all the money that has ever been made has been made in the last two years.

01:15:49.000 This spike is when they said your savings account is now a checking account.

01:15:52.000 So they put savings in a circulation.

01:15:56.000 But look at the hockey stick after the fact.

01:15:59.000 That's the creation of currency.

01:16:01.000 I think they did that to mask that they were about to start printing and get that upper diagonal, that big one, What is it, like an 80 degree angle instead of a 27 degree angle?

01:16:11.000 To make it look less severe?

01:16:12.000 Yeah, and I'm glad you pointed that out because this doesn't look like a 40% increase, this looks like a 600% increase, but it's right.

01:16:19.000 It's the definitional change that happened.

01:16:20.000 Thank you for noting that.

01:16:21.000 So what we gotta do is get a graph where we remove the vertical line and just watch it go from the 27 degree angle to the 80 degree angle.

01:16:27.000 It's still ugly.

01:16:29.000 Yeah, it's still not good.

01:16:30.000 And this is only up until 2020, like August of 2020, it looks like.

01:16:33.000 What's going on now?

01:16:35.000 And what's funny is the fractional reserve policy changed just before COVID.

01:16:39.000 Yeah, it was like April 2020 or something?

01:16:42.000 It used to be that you needed a reserve to loan out money, and then they went, we're getting rid of that.

01:16:46.000 You can just loan as much as you want.

01:16:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:49.000 0% fractional reserve.

01:16:50.000 Imagine playing a game of Monopoly, and all of us are playing by the rules, okay?

01:16:54.000 And every single... I'm going to make you the bad guy here, sorry.

01:16:58.000 All of us are playing by the rules, right?

01:17:00.000 You roll your dice, you go to the number of spaces, you decide whether you want to buy, hold, whatever, and then when it's Mary's turn, she goes to the banker and says, give me a trillion Monopoly notes and stick them all with the bill for it.

01:17:16.000 That's our economy.

01:17:18.000 And the problem is, the price of living is going up the same for everyone, but the closer you are to that money supply at its initial printout, at its initial disbursement, the less affected you are by the double-digit price inflation, and the more you're exposed to the triple-quadruple-digit increase overnight of your wealth, and that's what we're seeing here.

01:17:40.000 Here's another important factor here.

01:17:44.000 Bitcoin dropped, I think, to like 19K or whatever.

01:17:47.000 And everyone's screaming in the media.

01:17:49.000 And I'm just like, I don't know.

01:17:50.000 I don't care.

01:17:50.000 I'm ignoring it.

01:17:52.000 And that's the deal.

01:17:53.000 When you have money, you don't care that it went down.

01:17:56.000 You're like, I don't know what I'm going to do with it anyway.

01:17:58.000 And then after a year, two years, three years, it starts to recover.

01:18:01.000 So when people see this stuff and they actually need their money and they're seeing it tank and they're like, I can't ignore that.

01:18:08.000 And they're forced to sell it at garbage rates.

01:18:11.000 They become poorer.

01:18:12.000 Rich people who are more resilient to the change in monetary value and recessions and depressions can ignore it until the recovery happens and then retain all that value.

01:18:20.000 So the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

01:18:22.000 Exactly.

01:18:22.000 I would also like to note that Bitcoin has crashed down to its 2017 high.

01:18:28.000 Its previous all-time high before this last increase.

01:18:31.000 There's an old video, I wish they had kept updating it, it's about seven years old now, but it's called Don't Buy Bitcoin, It Crashes.

01:18:37.000 And it's this guy going, there was this one time Bitcoin was worth, and I'm making up the numbers, but it's pretty much like this, One time it was worth .1 cents, and then it went up to 5 cents, and then it crashed all the way down to 2 cents.

01:18:51.000 And then this other time, it was worth $3.25, and then it went all the way up to $25, and then it crashed all the way down to...

01:18:58.000 780 and like he keeps doing this and he goes and so the moral of the story is don't buy get Bitcoin it crashes this is the the Cycle of parabolic growth usually some sideways trading and then a crash down To higher than the previous all-time high and now the gaps are obviously not as wide as they used to be It's a lot easier for something to go from $1 to $10 than to go from 20,000 to 200,000 right like there's only so much market cap it can have but The pattern's still playing out.

01:19:27.000 This is not financial advice, by the way.

01:19:29.000 I'm just a Jew on the internet.

01:19:31.000 I'm not a financial advisor.

01:19:32.000 But you look at the way the dollar is going, and I don't know how anybody could have faith in their paychecks at this point.

01:19:37.000 Really?

01:19:38.000 Yeah, the recession that's headed our way, they're saying there's going to be rolling blackouts.

01:19:42.000 Do you guys see this reporting?

01:19:43.000 Rolling blackouts, food shortages, food prices.

01:19:47.000 You know what I'm really proud of? 0.96

01:19:50.000 In 2020, I started doing the emergency food sponsorships and then like Vice made like a hit piece and they were like, haha, what a loser.

01:19:57.000 And then I'm like, man, if you bought that food in 2020, it was, I think like half the cost of what it is today.

01:20:04.000 So you'd be sitting on food that lasts for 25 years at half the price.

01:20:08.000 You'd be like, oh wow, it's a good thing I bought it two years ago.

01:20:10.000 We're going to last 23 more years.

01:20:12.000 You buy it today, it's more expensive.

01:20:14.000 Jim Baker has the last laugh.

01:20:16.000 Even if you just decided to eat it today.

01:20:19.000 You got your food at half price.

01:20:21.000 So it's crazy because, you know, I was talking about this in 2020, 2021, food shortages are coming.

01:20:25.000 What happens?

01:20:26.000 Putin's price hike.

01:20:28.000 Whether or not you believe any of that stuff, the fact is there is a shortage of wheat, which is going to be mind-bogglingly devastating.

01:20:39.000 Not as much to us.

01:20:41.000 But Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, all these Middle Eastern countries, Turkey, these countries that get much of their grain and food from Russia and Ukraine, they ain't gonna be getting it.

01:20:51.000 So what are they gonna do?

01:20:53.000 They're gonna be very, very hungry and very angry, and we are going to be watching.

01:20:56.000 We're gonna be sitting there, and we're gonna be like, ha ha, remember when we used to watch CNN when they were news?

01:21:01.000 No?

01:21:01.000 Well, let's put it on anyway.

01:21:03.000 You'll turn it on, and you'll just see food riots.

01:21:05.000 Water and food riots.

01:21:07.000 And we'll have some of that here.

01:21:08.000 During the pandemic, remember those lines of cars for miles waiting for food because people didn't have any?

01:21:14.000 If you think it's bad now, if you think it was bad back then, right now there's nobody producing.

01:21:20.000 So not only do we have a fertilizer shortage, which led to predictions of a crop yield dropping by 40%, diesel potential shortage, meaning farmers won't even be able to harvest And if they do, it'll be substantially more expensive to harvest, and there will be substantially less food, meaning, for more than one reason, the cost of food is going to skyrocket.

01:21:40.000 Yeah.

01:21:41.000 It's almost a... Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

01:21:42.000 No, I was gonna say, and then people are gonna... That's when people break down and go crazy.

01:21:46.000 Yeah.

01:21:46.000 It's almost as if massively expanding the monetary supply and then just handing it out leads to a massive increase in prices because you have much more money chasing the same amount of goods and services.

01:21:58.000 And then that same amount of goods and services actually goes down because people say, I got all this money, I don't need to work.

01:22:03.000 And so now you've got the disruptions from that.

01:22:05.000 It's a perfect storm for what we're experiencing.

01:22:07.000 You know what we need?

01:22:08.000 Seeing this problem happening, we need to figure out a way to start over.

01:22:14.000 Some kind of like a reset, but a bigger one.

01:22:17.000 A great one.

01:22:18.000 A great reset.

01:22:20.000 Make resets great again.

01:22:22.000 Yeah, like a great reset.

01:22:24.000 And then maybe when the people... Look, people are going to lose everything they own in this, but we need this great reset.

01:22:32.000 And then after that, they may own nothing, but they will be happy.

01:22:36.000 They'll be happy.

01:22:36.000 Yeah, that sounds pretty good.

01:22:39.000 So it makes you wonder.

01:22:40.000 You said it was great.

01:22:41.000 You sold me it great, honestly.

01:22:42.000 If it's called great, then it must be.

01:22:44.000 But listen, listen, listen.

01:22:45.000 It makes you wonder when they advocate for the Great Reset, literally, like calling it that, and then they implement these policies that have just destroyed everything.

01:22:54.000 It's almost like they want it to happen.

01:22:56.000 I'm looking at the M1 money supply.

01:22:57.000 I'm kind of investigating it right now.

01:22:58.000 And it does show up until May.

01:23:01.000 I'm seeing it up until May of 2022.

01:23:02.000 It's at the 80% increase until about April 2022, and then it looks like it's actually gone down.

01:23:10.000 Yeah, because the Federal Reserve has started tightening the rates.

01:23:15.000 They've started increasing the rates.

01:23:17.000 The reason that's happening, that is a consequence of banks being able to lend money or get lent money at effectively zero percent.

01:23:24.000 Once you factor in for inflation, they're actually getting it at a negative interest rate.

01:23:28.000 They can turn around and put it out there to us, to the consumer, at a low interest rate and just make a bunch of free money, basically.

01:23:35.000 It's literal free money.

01:23:36.000 money. So by raising the raise and then buy property with it, right? Bankrupt people and

01:23:40.000 then seize their assets. Destroy their lives and walk away holding the bag. Because people

01:23:44.000 won't be able to pay back the interest on their loans, etc.

01:23:46.000 Things like that. But once everything crashes, absolutely. That's all the foreclosures that

01:23:49.000 happened in 2007, 2008. So we need a law to protect people from foreclosures because I imagine BlackRock

01:23:54.000 and other banks are going to try and steal people's houses. You need to just stop.

01:23:57.000 You need to get, first of all, you need to get currency out of the control of the government.

01:24:01.000 Government is a political entity that tries to implement political goals for political purposes.

01:24:07.000 It should not be in charge of the money supply because this is what happens.

01:24:11.000 When you have a political entity in charge of the money supply, they implement the money supply not for the best use of its consumers because they're a monopoly.

01:24:20.000 They don't care about the consumers.

01:24:22.000 or the people using it.

01:24:24.000 They do it for their political purposes, which in this case is to try to, you know, push along an economy that they don't want to correct and making things worse in the process and paying off the cronies who sponsored them in the office. 0.99

01:24:36.000 Sure, but you have to recognize some people are just really dumb, right? 0.98

01:24:41.000 Oh, there's that too, yeah. 1.00

01:24:42.000 And because they're so dumb, you need better men to rule over them. 1.00

01:24:46.000 Strong men. 1.00

01:24:47.000 Strong men.

01:24:47.000 Strong men for a great reset.

01:24:49.000 Absolutely.

01:24:49.000 Why has no one else thought of this?

01:24:50.000 I know, right?

01:24:52.000 It took us coming together to finally figure out what the problem is?

01:24:55.000 Don't you remember that speech from Michael Bloomberg when he said, tax the poor?

01:25:00.000 He said, poor people spend money on dumb things, so we should tax their money so we can choose for them what to buy.

01:25:07.000 A populist message if there ever was one. 0.99

01:25:09.000 Right, he wanted to tax large drinks because he said, poor people are stupid and buy big sugary drinks and get fat, so let's put a big tax on it so they can't afford it anymore so they stop doing it. 1.00

01:25:20.000 That works. 0.99

01:25:22.000 So you say get money out of politics.

01:25:25.000 How did you phrase it exactly?

01:25:27.000 So the government needs to stop being involved in what money is.

01:25:31.000 Because if you allow the market to determine what money is, now instead of having a political entity manipulating, openly manipulating the monetary supply for political purposes, and destroying the wealth and the well-being of the vast majority of people that are involved in this, instead now you have competing entities who because they want to be You know, have their dominant market share have a vested interest in doing the opposite.

01:25:53.000 They want their money to be deflationary, or at the very least, not have the value go down over time.

01:25:59.000 Have the value of the money increase over time.

01:26:02.000 Have the case use and the ability to use it go up over time.

01:26:06.000 Have it be an effective and better thing.

01:26:08.000 This is what we apply to everything else, right?

01:26:10.000 Like, you don't want to have to buy your car from the government car company, right?

01:26:14.000 Why would you want to have to get your money from the government money company?

01:26:18.000 Hold on, sorry, real quick.

01:26:19.000 You not only would you have to buy your car from the government, but they have a computer chip in it where every year it goes 10 miles an hour slower.

01:26:27.000 And then you're like, I got to get a new car.

01:26:29.000 Yeah.

01:26:30.000 This is like planned obsolescence for money.

01:26:33.000 Right.

01:26:33.000 So this is like Federal Reserve tactics, which is a private company.

01:26:36.000 Obviously they're in cahoots with the monopoly.

01:26:38.000 They're monopolized by the government, but like Congress is supposed to be in charge of the monetary supply, according to Congress.

01:26:42.000 Yeah, so it should be amended.

01:26:44.000 No, that's the thing.

01:26:46.000 By the way, this is why I don't consider myself a constitutionalist.

01:26:48.000 I think the Constitution is a useful way for us to use it defensively to protect our rights.

01:26:52.000 But at any point, there are times in the Constitution where it lays out things that blatantly are bad for us and violate our rights.

01:26:58.000 And this would be an example of that.

01:27:00.000 I don't think that government should be involved in money.

01:27:02.000 They've proven themselves to be a bad steward of it.

01:27:04.000 And even if you replace the Federal Reserve, because I understand what you're saying.

01:27:07.000 They're technically a private entity.

01:27:09.000 If you replace the Federal Reserve instead, If you replace the Federal Reserve instead with just a federal bank, it's effectively the same thing, but just, you know, with different steps.

01:27:23.000 You don't need a federal bank.

01:27:24.000 That's what I just said to you.

01:27:26.000 That's the Bank of Columbus $10 bill.

01:27:27.000 This was a bank note, a private bank note, right?

01:27:29.000 This is what I'm talking about.

01:27:30.000 I think if it was Congress, we'd be able to audit it, or it would be like part of it being the Congress's bank is that the American, the people's bank, is that we would audit it.

01:27:38.000 It would constantly be all public.

01:27:40.000 In theory, and could it be better?

01:27:41.000 Yeah, but you still have a centrally planned authority, right?

01:27:44.000 So why not instead allow a market-derived series of notes, or in this case it's probably gonna be more electronic, but you could also have physical notes.

01:27:52.000 There are plenty of people out there that don't want the electronic notes, they want the physical notes.

01:27:56.000 Why not let the market determine what is best for people?

01:27:59.000 Because the people who are in power are friends with those who control the policy that enrich them, and why would they ever walk away from that?

01:28:05.000 They collude.

01:28:06.000 Well, no, because people collude and buy up huge amounts of stuff and then sell them off all at once.

01:28:11.000 And then they work the market.

01:28:13.000 And so we need a government to protect us from monopolies.

01:28:15.000 They get free money from the Fed and they buy up houses.

01:28:18.000 And then you are a working class family and you're like, it's time to buy our first house.

01:28:23.000 This house is going for 200 grand.

01:28:24.000 And you say, I will pay asking.

01:28:26.000 And they go, great, we'll get back to you.

01:28:28.000 And they call you back and say, we got an offer from, you know, BlackRock or whatever.

01:28:31.000 That's at $240.

01:28:33.000 And you're like, I can't afford that.

01:28:34.000 And they're like, well, sorry.

01:28:35.000 And that's what keeps happening to people.

01:28:37.000 Yeah.

01:28:38.000 And the thing is, a lot of what the crony, and at this point it's sort of like a corporatist, fascist extension of government, some of these companies like BlackRock and so forth, the reason they're able to do it is because they get free money that's underwritten by you and by future generations that haven't even been born yet.

01:28:56.000 You reintroduce, and I'm not saying necessarily this, but you reintroduce having the money being determined by the market level.

01:29:03.000 They have to play by the same rules as the rest of us.

01:29:05.000 And yes, they're wealthier, but they're now going to have to deal with the same supply and demand issues.

01:29:10.000 They're not going to be able to just... Bitcoin.

01:29:11.000 Yeah, Bitcoin.

01:29:12.000 They're not going to be able to just print out endless streams of money and have you pay the bill for it, have you pay the debt for it with the interest.

01:29:19.000 And then when everything falls apart, they get bailed out and that's paid for by more money that got printed out.

01:29:24.000 That whole thing goes away when you take away the ability for them to just expand the monetary supply whenever they want to, to pay off their own bills.

01:29:31.000 This is why I like cryptocurrency, and this is why it's frustrating when you get progressives who are acting like crypto is a really, really bad thing.

01:29:38.000 It's like, you're just shilling out for the establishment.

01:29:41.000 It's literally the way out of it.

01:29:42.000 People can create infinite amounts of crypto right now without regulation.

01:29:46.000 That's endless inflation, just the same problem.

01:29:49.000 Only if people value those new cryptos.

01:29:51.000 Exactly.

01:29:51.000 This is subjective value, right?

01:29:54.000 Like, I can make a coin tomorrow based on the Ethereum chain or whatever.

01:29:57.000 I call it SpikeCoin.

01:29:58.000 And I go, hey everyone, go get some SpikeCoin.

01:30:01.000 And they go, great, what's your case use?

01:30:02.000 What are you fulfilling that isn't already being fulfilled?

01:30:05.000 And I go, SpikeCoin!

01:30:06.000 That's not going to work.

01:30:07.000 No one's going to want it.

01:30:08.000 Some people will get it as a joke, but it's not going to go anywhere.

01:30:11.000 And on top of that, I can print a bunch of cards and I can call them Timbucks.

01:30:17.000 And I can be like, this is paper 10 bucks.

01:30:19.000 They're worth so much money.

01:30:20.000 Hey, and people are going to be like, I don't know if I value what I value.

01:30:22.000 If you value right now, all the people with the Bitcoin and the Ethereum, like there are huge people that own massive amounts of that stuff would own the market essentially without any government oversight.

01:30:31.000 And then they would buy up all the corn and then they would raise the price of corn 13 times and then sell it back to the people.

01:30:37.000 Well, first of all, are there Bitcoin billionaires?

01:30:40.000 Absolutely.

01:30:41.000 But if you look at the distribution of that wealth, for lack of a better term, it's far less centralized than you would see, for example, where you have less than 1% of the population that owns 20-30% of everything.

01:30:53.000 Like, that's certainly not happening.

01:30:55.000 And if you took all the crypto bros out there, they're certainly not going to have anywhere near that same market level that exists in this current system, because they can't.

01:31:05.000 Because it has to be a system that reflects the actual market demands and supply and demand, as opposed to a political entity, a centrally planned political entity.

01:31:13.000 Saying, all right, well, you guys help get me into office.

01:31:16.000 And so, you know, I'm paying you off and here's however many trillion dollars.

01:31:19.000 I'm going to give you a $600 check.

01:31:20.000 You stay right there.

01:31:21.000 You should make sure to vote for me.

01:31:22.000 And, uh, and you know, also you're getting the debt for this guy.

01:31:26.000 Uh, Oh, this all fell apart.

01:31:27.000 Okay.

01:31:27.000 Well, um, we're going to print out more money and bail you out.

01:31:29.000 Cause you're too big to fail.

01:31:30.000 You got to pay for this.

01:31:31.000 You're definitely not too big to fail.

01:31:32.000 That's the system.

01:31:33.000 That's the worst.

01:31:34.000 The federal reserve on auditable system is the worst by far, but I think that crypto unregulated by the people would be as could get as bad.

01:31:45.000 There is no utopian system, but the regulation comes in place if suddenly there's a reason for there to be suspicion of how Bitcoin is being used.

01:31:53.000 It's out in the open and people can see it.

01:31:55.000 Or if it's not out in the open, if there's some coin that you can't see the back end of it, you can't see the ledger of it, it is centrally controlled, people are going to say, why would I use this when I can use this that's so much better?

01:32:04.000 That's what happens from the market.

01:32:06.000 It's like using the car analogy.

01:32:08.000 If this car company suddenly is making cars that are absolute garbage, You know it, and you go buy a car somewhere else.

01:32:14.000 You can do this with anything.

01:32:15.000 Chicken sandwiches, skateboards, whatever, it doesn't matter.

01:32:19.000 Having more providers makes you more likely to be able to get a better value, and for them to have an incentivization of serving you as the consumer.

01:32:28.000 But when you bypass that through central planning, now they don't have to serve you as the consumer, they only have to serve the political class that they put in office.

01:32:35.000 And that's a much easier thing for them.

01:32:36.000 I'm interested in getting, Mary, I know you're an expert on fiscal policy and fintech, so what are your thoughts on all this?

01:32:44.000 I mean, I'm trying to think of the right questions to ask, but... It's very esoteric.

01:32:54.000 With the wallets, like with crypto wallets, it looks like there's a lot of people that, because everyone has a wallet, but it could be one guy that has 900,000 wallets.

01:33:01.000 I mean, it...

01:33:04.000 This argument doesn't track.

01:33:05.000 Look, I could buy a bunch of rocks, and then I can go around being like, TIM ROCKS!

01:33:10.000 They're only mine, and you can't get Tim Rocks from anybody else.

01:33:14.000 So if I buy a bag of gravel, it's true.

01:33:17.000 That bag of gravel is exclusively Tim Rocks.

01:33:19.000 He could own all that.

01:33:20.000 I could own them all.

01:33:21.000 And then people are like, we want it.

01:33:22.000 We want it all.

01:33:23.000 Like, we'll give you bread.

01:33:24.000 We'll give you labor. 1.00

01:33:25.000 I'm like, giving out rocks.

01:33:26.000 There's no difference between that and any token.

01:33:27.000 Well, just use Bitcoin as your example.

01:33:29.000 So Bitcoin is decentralized.

01:33:31.000 I can look.

01:33:32.000 It looks decentralized.

01:33:33.000 I can, right.

01:33:34.000 I can buy Bitcoin and then I've actually put money into the system and then I would not

01:33:38.000 just want to lose the value of that.

01:33:40.000 Yeah.

01:33:41.000 So other people can value it because they know there's a market around it with real

01:33:43.000 value where people are willing to buy and trade.

01:33:45.000 At some point, farmers are going to be like, we accept crypto.

01:33:47.000 You'd be like, great, what kind?

01:33:47.000 And they'll choose.

01:33:49.000 We accept Bitcoin.

01:33:50.000 We accept Ethereum.

01:33:51.000 And if you don't have those two cryptos, then you exchange it for that.

01:33:54.000 But the value of those are going to skyrocket.

01:33:55.000 Who owns them when they decide it's this proof of stake thing that they want to move towards, away from proof of work?

01:34:01.000 Who's creating tokens?

01:34:02.000 It's who has the tokens.

01:34:03.000 Those are the ones that get to make the decisions.

01:34:05.000 The people that have them.

01:34:06.000 Yeah, those are the ones that are rich right now.

01:34:07.000 They want to move it to a system where the rich people get to make the decisions.

01:34:10.000 Right, so what could happen... What could happen... I'm not saying it's... What we have right now is an ass. 0.99

01:34:14.000 It's terrible. 0.97

01:34:15.000 What could happen is that people build faith in a cryptocurrency that is centralized and controlled by rich, powerful people.

01:34:23.000 That doesn't change the fact that the Fed is bad, and we should find an alternate system, and crypto is pretty good.

01:34:28.000 Yeah, so market-derived systems don't necessarily not allow for the centralization of wealth.

01:34:34.000 But in order to be able to do that, you have to serve the consumer.

01:34:37.000 If it's market-derived and not centrally planned, in order to be able to grow, maintain, and expand wealth, you have to be serving the consumer.

01:34:45.000 Better than your competitors, especially if you want to expand it.

01:34:48.000 If you want to maintain it, you have to at least be doing it as well as your competitors.

01:34:51.000 In a system that isn't market-derived, in a system that is centrally planned through a centralized monopoly of violence such as government, instead what you have is a system where I don't have to serve you.

01:35:01.000 I just have to be friends.

01:35:02.000 You're the bad guy again.

01:35:03.000 I have to be friends with Mary, the government, who I just so happen to bankroll into office, 0.99

01:35:09.000 and friend Mary too, who's on the other side, other side, and make sure that they're my friends

01:35:14.000 and that they give me whatever I want. So now instead of having to do the often, you know,

01:35:18.000 mind-numbing labor to make sure that I am serving you.

01:35:21.000 you and everyone else as best as possible and where the consumer is king

01:35:25.000 instead all I have to do is spend a pittance of those resources just keeping

01:35:29.000 them in office keeping them fat and happy and then getting them to give me

01:35:32.000 whatever I want that is inherently a system that feeds everything has to feed

01:35:37.000 a great a profit motive right the profit motive needs to be fed by serving the

01:35:41.000 consumer instead of serving a small handful of the ruling we've got to go to

01:35:57.000 So, what we got here?

01:35:58.000 TheSnackLadyJackie says, nice to see Tasha's husband on the show tonight.

01:36:03.000 I vote him for VP with Dave Smith, President, and Michael Malice, Press Secretary.

01:36:07.000 We need this to happen.

01:36:08.000 Are you intending to be a VP?

01:36:11.000 I doubt I would run for VP.

01:36:13.000 I honestly don't.

01:36:14.000 I don't know if I'm going to be running for anything in the future.

01:36:17.000 And right now, and part of the reason I started You Are The Power is until we grow this movement massively, we're really talking about who's the next guy to score the margin of error.

01:36:26.000 It doesn't matter until we have a much larger movement.

01:36:28.000 So I haven't ruled anything out for the future.

01:36:31.000 I just don't really care until we've done the movement growing.

01:36:32.000 Right on.

01:36:33.000 And would you kindly smash that like button?

01:36:35.000 Let's read more.

01:36:37.000 Hit the bell.

01:36:38.000 We want your phone to explode with notifications every time these people do it.

01:36:40.000 I've never actually told people to hit the bell.

01:36:42.000 Hit the bell.

01:36:42.000 Does it work?

01:36:43.000 Hit the bell.

01:36:43.000 Everybody who's subscribed or subscribed and then hit the bell.

01:36:46.000 Hit the bell.

01:36:47.000 Get the notifications.

01:36:48.000 Let it wake you up.

01:36:49.000 East F says, Spike, keep up the relentless trolling of the ATF.

01:36:53.000 I do what I can.

01:36:53.000 Thank you.

01:36:54.000 Yeah.

01:36:55.000 Do you agree, sir, that we should abolish the ATF?

01:36:57.000 Yes.

01:36:58.000 The ATF is a regulatory, it's a federal law enforcement agency targeting, what, four legal things?

01:37:07.000 Alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives.

01:37:09.000 It's actually now the B-A-T-F-E, but they went back to being the A-T-F because everyone's like, what the B-A-T-F-E?

01:37:13.000 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

01:37:17.000 The B-A-T-F-E. 0.95

01:37:17.000 Which should be like a convenience store. 0.95

01:37:19.000 I know that's like an old trope.

01:37:21.000 That's not my joke.

01:37:22.000 It's like an old trope, but it's true. 1.00

01:37:24.000 It's a cliche because it's true. 0.97

01:37:25.000 The reality is the government has no business telling you what you can own, a firearm or otherwise.

01:37:31.000 And you can make the Second Amendment argument of, it says very clearly, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

01:37:36.000 You can also make just the rights argument of if I have a natural right to defend myself, and you can also make the reality of power argument which is that if a small handful of people have the only effective ability to project violence effectively, no one else has any say in anything.

01:37:51.000 Right.

01:37:52.000 Alright, Warwolf says, with a bunch of crab emojis, Potato Man is gone!

01:37:57.000 That's right, the Potato Man bailed on us.

01:38:00.000 So now we're stuck with Mary.

01:38:05.000 We had to get a sub in, a Catholic.

01:38:08.000 No, but we also, we'll have Mary here, we'll have Brett, we'll have Jamie, we'll have a couple people jumping in.

01:38:13.000 And then Luke's on his way back.

01:38:15.000 Right, Luke?

01:38:16.000 Brett's here.

01:38:18.000 Luke even had a problem with it when Seamus was on pop culture.

01:38:22.000 What?

01:38:22.000 Yeah, he was commenting, boo, potato man.

01:38:26.000 It was in the chat?

01:38:27.000 Yeah.

01:38:28.000 Boo, potato man.

01:38:29.000 On Instagram too.

01:38:30.000 People on Twitter think they have like a real beef.

01:38:32.000 They're like, man, these guys really hate each other.

01:38:33.000 No, it's a bit.

01:38:34.000 They're like ribbing.

01:38:35.000 No, it's not a bit.

01:38:36.000 It's completely serious.

01:38:38.000 Seamus cries after every show.

01:38:40.000 Every show?

01:38:40.000 That's why he left.

01:38:41.000 Because Luke was trolling him in the chat.

01:38:43.000 So Seamus was like, I'm leaving.

01:38:45.000 All right.

01:38:46.000 All right.

01:38:47.000 What is this?

01:38:49.000 John Kristen says Seamus talking of caulk and tubs.

01:38:52.000 Tim and Seatown and Ian double handed mopping has has me wonder about what is happening behind the scenes.

01:38:57.000 Oh, yeah, when he did the double mopping thing.

01:38:59.000 Double double mopping.

01:39:01.000 Feel the momentum.

01:39:02.000 You actually have to pretend like the mops are in your hands.

01:39:04.000 You know, the pressure that you feel that friction.

01:39:06.000 Raymond G. Maga Stanley Jr.

01:39:10.000 says, who's ready for MAGA month?

01:39:12.000 The left may be setting our country a burning, but let's use that fire for barbecues, bonfires, and building community.

01:39:18.000 Go IRL.

01:39:19.000 Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow begins the first day of MAGA month.

01:39:23.000 Make America Great Again month.

01:39:24.000 I have my Twitter profile picture ready.

01:39:27.000 It is the same face, but I got the American flag behind me.

01:39:30.000 And this is not just A month in which you grill burgers every day, or on the weekends whenever you can.

01:39:36.000 It's not just the month where you get the 4th of July to fire off fireworks.

01:39:41.000 The point of MAGA month is to make America great again.

01:39:43.000 You know what that means?

01:39:44.000 It means y'all should be engaging in community building, community service.

01:39:47.000 You should be figuring out ways you can come together with your neighbors, meet people, learn from each other.

01:39:53.000 Build those communal bonds to literally make America great again and audit the Fed or something like that.

01:39:59.000 Hell yeah! 0.95

01:40:00.000 Some political buzz thing.

01:40:01.000 Nullify the government, yeah.

01:40:03.000 No, you can't make America great again without nullifying government and building community bonds and building networks.

01:40:07.000 That's the purpose of America is to nullify unjust government. 0.96

01:40:10.000 Literal purpose.

01:40:10.000 Maga Month is not about Trump.

01:40:13.000 It's about making America great again.

01:40:15.000 And that means if you go out and pick up trash, you've made America great again.

01:40:20.000 Like Scott Pressler does.

01:40:21.000 If you go out and register people to vote, you are making America great again.

01:40:25.000 It doesn't matter if it's Trump or DeSantis or whatever.

01:40:28.000 The point is, start locally.

01:40:30.000 Build community, meet your neighbors, have a barbecue, invite friends over, learn from each other, and build those strong community bonds, and that makes America stronger.

01:40:38.000 And you got an American flag.

01:40:41.000 Make America great again isn't like take it back to where it was when it was great.

01:40:44.000 It's the idea that you're going to continuously do something to make it great over and over and over again.

01:40:49.000 And also in doing that, you show people that they don't need.

01:40:53.000 A lot of people, they aren't, you know, socialists or statists or authoritarians or whatever.

01:40:58.000 They veer into those things because they don't see a viable alternative.

01:41:02.000 They're not shown a viable alternative for how they can be.

01:41:05.000 We all want the same things.

01:41:06.000 We want to be safe.

01:41:06.000 We want to be healthy.

01:41:07.000 We want to be happy.

01:41:08.000 We want to be prosperous.

01:41:09.000 And if we can show that by building communal bonds, that we can do those things together voluntarily and not needing some centrally planned authority, making some caricature approximation of it that makes everything worse, we can actually reduce their power that is in people's heads of the legitimacy of their bad ideas by showing them a much better alternative, which is us working together.

01:41:31.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:41:32.000 We got Travis Bost.

01:41:33.000 He says, Hey Spike, Tim, the Libertarian Party of Eastern Panhandle Convention is July 16th.

01:41:37.000 You and your friends are cordially invited.

01:41:40.000 What day is the 16th?

01:41:41.000 I think it's a Saturday.

01:41:42.000 The Saturday?

01:41:42.000 Not sure.

01:41:43.000 Let me check.

01:41:44.000 Is that in West Virginia?

01:41:45.000 Yes.

01:41:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:41:47.000 I am sorry I didn't pass that on to you.

01:41:48.000 You are, in fact, invited to speak.

01:41:50.000 I passed it on to Seamus, but I didn't give it to you.

01:41:51.000 Oh, I don't know if I should speak.

01:41:52.000 Yeah, so it's over in the Eastern Panhandle.

01:41:55.000 I'll send you the details if you want it.

01:41:56.000 You said the 16th?

01:41:57.000 Yeah, what day is that?

01:41:58.000 I will, unfortunately, be at Freedom Fest in Vegas.

01:42:00.000 Saturday?

01:42:01.000 Oh, Saturdays.

01:42:01.000 We can do Saturday.

01:42:02.000 That'd be fun.

01:42:03.000 Yeah, it'd be fun, right?

01:42:03.000 To go to a Libertarian Party thing.

01:42:05.000 You should go.

01:42:05.000 You should definitely go.

01:42:06.000 They'll get it done.

01:42:08.000 Bring the porcupine. 0.88

01:42:09.000 Whoever brought the porcupine to the West Virginia Convention, bring the porcupine, and Tim will definitely come.

01:42:14.000 I don't know.

01:42:14.000 I'm penciling it in.

01:42:15.000 Actually, I only have a pen, but if I can't... That's permanent.

01:42:19.000 You can't erase that.

01:42:19.000 He just penned it in.

01:42:21.000 He just penned it in.

01:42:22.000 Pencil that in.

01:42:23.000 No, that actually does sound fun.

01:42:25.000 Where exactly is it going to be?

01:42:26.000 I know it's in the Eastern Panhandle, but we're basically there.

01:42:29.000 Yeah.

01:42:29.000 So are there going to be wings?

01:42:32.000 Because if you got wings... Chicken wings?

01:42:33.000 Chicken wings.

01:42:34.000 Bring wings.

01:42:35.000 Yeah.

01:42:35.000 Hit the bell, bring wings.

01:42:36.000 Bring some eggs.

01:42:37.000 Some farm fresh eggs for everybody.

01:42:39.000 Well, I'm not going to fry eggs at a... No, no, just bring the raw eggs.

01:42:42.000 I heard they had plant-based human meat.

01:42:45.000 Dude, we got to talk about that.

01:42:46.000 Maybe on the after show.

01:42:47.000 Did you guys... So they're actually... This is on Twitter.

01:42:51.000 Was it Majid Nawaz tweeted this out that a vegan burger made to taste like human meat received an award in Cannes.

01:42:57.000 This is not a joke.

01:42:58.000 Who post-tested this?

01:42:59.000 The New York Post.

01:43:00.000 We'll talk about that for the members.

01:43:01.000 An award at Cannes?

01:43:03.000 I'm not asking... I mean, it does kind of sound like something the Libertarian Party might do.

01:43:08.000 Be like, it's about freedom.

01:43:10.000 If you want to eat people, it's not real people, but you're free to do so.

01:43:13.000 If you want to simulate eating people.

01:43:15.000 Cannibalism.

01:43:15.000 With consent.

01:43:17.000 Simulate crime.

01:43:18.000 Simulate.

01:43:19.000 I don't know, like, what if a person consented to being eaten after they died?

01:43:23.000 Like, the Libertarian Party.

01:43:24.000 Oh.

01:43:25.000 I don't think that's like a modern... The Libertarian Party has been in favor of some weird stuff in the past.

01:43:29.000 Not that.

01:43:30.000 That's why I'm bringing it up.

01:43:31.000 Like when the guy took his pants off.

01:43:33.000 Or when they booed some guy.

01:43:34.000 Yeah, I mean there's taking your pants off and there's you can eat me after I die.

01:43:38.000 And I feel like... Well, there's also... Didn't some guy say... Didn't someone say they shouldn't sell drugs to children and they got booed?

01:43:45.000 Yeah, Austin Peterson said that.

01:43:47.000 Oh, yeah.

01:43:48.000 Heroin 5-year-olds?

01:43:48.000 No!

01:43:49.000 Heroin 5-year-olds.

01:43:50.000 No, there are limits.

01:43:52.000 Alright, alright, let's read some more.

01:43:54.000 DC says, Ian, it's a big leap to call Christianity a cult, but your point about targeting the 1.00

01:43:59.000 individual over the group is spot on.

01:44:01.000 Thanks, man.

01:44:02.000 I was we were talking about it before the show.

01:44:04.000 I think all religions are cults. 1.00

01:44:07.000 It's not an insult.

01:44:08.000 It's just an observation.

01:44:10.000 But then like all belief structures are cults regardless.

01:44:13.000 I don't know about that.

01:44:13.000 It's the organization of religions that make them cults.

01:44:16.000 Is it bad to be a cult?

01:44:18.000 Not necessarily, but you just gotta identify the cult behaviors.

01:44:21.000 Believing things that aren't real?

01:44:23.000 Yeah.

01:44:23.000 Like there's this impermeable magnetic field that allows us to communicate and commune with the universe?

01:44:28.000 That's not provable, that's nonsense.

01:44:30.000 If I had people sit around me and repeat after me and say it, then yeah, that would be very cult-y.

01:44:34.000 You could argue, if you go that far, that anything that has presuppositional beliefs that cannot be challenged is a cult.

01:44:40.000 And, and like the, there are five lights, for instance, Picard knows there's four, but they're like, just say that there are five, even though we know that, you know, it's not real.

01:44:47.000 We want you to say it out loud to acknowledge that you're one of us.

01:44:51.000 And I feel like going to a church and having them having you repeat stuff like this bread is actually a physical is his human body.

01:44:57.000 Or a woman was impregnated by a ghost thing is like, it's not right in front of you, but when you have a piece of bread in front of you and you're made to say that it's a guy's body, you're not made to.

01:45:07.000 Well, they ask you to repeat it.

01:45:08.000 And you can walk out.

01:45:09.000 You can.

01:45:09.000 Or you can become one of them.

01:45:10.000 If you want to.

01:45:11.000 And if you want to become Catholic.

01:45:12.000 Whereas Picard was tortured and electrocuted.

01:45:14.000 Yeah, that's a different story.

01:45:15.000 In the 1500s, you would get tortured for not saying it.

01:45:17.000 Not today, though.

01:45:18.000 All right, let's see.

01:45:19.000 Let's read some more.

01:45:21.000 Waffle Sensei says, The Beloved and Empirical.

01:45:23.000 Elon will just reinstate Jordan Peterson.

01:45:26.000 Why would he cave now when it's basically guaranteed he'll be back on?

01:45:29.000 Yeah, I think that that's the long game.

01:45:30.000 Yeah.

01:45:31.000 October, I think, is what they're saying.

01:45:32.000 Is that what they're saying?

01:45:34.000 Yeah, the deal should be closed by October.

01:45:35.000 Yeah.

01:45:36.000 I don't know for sure though, that could just be scuttlebutt.

01:45:38.000 I mean, look at all the scuttlebutt that's gotten us where we are so far with this deal, right?

01:45:42.000 But I mean, if you wanted to play the game of I'd never, you know, bend to anyone's will, even on something that, you know, in and of itself isn't necessarily the hill many would die on, it's the hill I'll die on because I'll die on every hill.

01:45:56.000 That's kind of his brand, right?

01:45:57.000 Like, there isn't a hill I won't die on.

01:45:59.000 And then to have Elon Musk come in and say, well, you're going to be allowed to say that, I mean, what an ultimate victory there.

01:46:07.000 Plus, that coupled with the Daily Wire announcement and everything else is like Jordan Peterson's king of the world.

01:46:11.000 Babylon B coming back at the same time would be huge.

01:46:14.000 All that happens.

01:46:15.000 All right, let's see.

01:46:16.000 Brie Sullivan says, are you serious about Trump banning people?

01:46:19.000 It was reported, I'm not saying it's completely, it's true because you know I don't trust these media outlets, that people were getting banned off Truth Social for pushing January 6th reporting.

01:46:29.000 Like they were saying like here's what January 6th the committee is saying and doing and they were getting banned.

01:46:33.000 I kind of feel like I don't trust them when they report that because it's probably you know leftists and liberals going on Truth Social and breaking the rules but including January 6th so they can be like look look what I was banned for and it's like Yeah, like I said, my friend Reid, and I'm not going to repeat it because we're on a YouTube live stream, but we'll put up stuff that should not be violating what they purport to be their terms, but it's like, you know, sacred cows on the right and very quickly gets banned, like minutes.

01:47:03.000 I don't know Truth Social, but knowing him, he's already done it because he did it with all of them.

01:47:08.000 So I'm sure he's done it with them too.

01:47:11.000 Alright.

01:47:12.000 Anthony Zavaro says, Jordan Peterson joining the Daily Wire was the straw that broke the camel's back that made me join Daily Wire Plus.

01:47:19.000 The culture war pendulum swings.

01:47:21.000 And I will say this too.

01:47:23.000 The more power the Daily Wire generates through subscriptions, the more they're able to sign people like Jordan Peterson, which will in turn make the snowball get bigger and bigger and bigger.

01:47:33.000 And I gotta say, Daily Wire's the new CNN.

01:47:36.000 I don't mean that in a way that's derogatory.

01:47:38.000 CNN at one point was groundbreaking.

01:47:41.000 It was in the 80s, right?

01:47:42.000 They were like, we're gonna do news 24-7.

01:47:44.000 And then all of a sudden you had this big deal.

01:47:47.000 They created the 24-hour news cycle.

01:47:50.000 It was a big deal, it was a cultural shift.

01:47:52.000 And now they're imploding.

01:47:54.000 And The Daily Wire is taking off, displacing, you know, they're the new upstart.

01:47:59.000 They're not the first to do a streaming video-on-demand service.

01:48:03.000 But I gotta say, Get Woke, Go Broke has never been truer.

01:48:07.000 These big streaming networks are just resting on their laurels.

01:48:10.000 Yes, we know what CBS is, and so people sign up for it.

01:48:14.000 But The Daily Wire is building and proving They're actually building something new.

01:48:19.000 They're earning their place.

01:48:20.000 That's meritocracy.

01:48:22.000 And we're gonna see it.

01:48:23.000 Their movies are gonna improve, their shows are gonna improve, and we're gonna be like, yo, I didn't wanna watch... Have you guys watched Ms.

01:48:28.000 Marvel?

01:48:28.000 No.

01:48:29.000 Have you guys seen it?

01:48:30.000 No.

01:48:30.000 Did you watch it?

01:48:31.000 I didn't, but we talked about it on the show a few times, and... I am watching this show.

01:48:36.000 It was cartoonishly bad.

01:48:37.000 It is beyond... It is a... It is... Okay.

01:48:40.000 I heard they actually use the word latinx on the show.

01:48:43.000 Yes.

01:48:43.000 Let me tell you about Ms.

01:48:44.000 Marvel.

01:48:45.000 Ms.

01:48:45.000 Marvel is a show which is a high school course on British colonialism in Pakistan.

01:48:53.000 That's what the show is.

01:48:54.000 Because I swear they say partition every five minutes.

01:48:57.000 And then there's a scene in one of the episodes where they're like, they're in, uh, they're in Pakistan.

01:49:02.000 And then they're like walking and they're talking about like, you've got magic powers.

01:49:05.000 By the way, this is a house where people were forced to live because of partition.

01:49:08.000 Colonialism had terrible, caused terrible problems in this country. 0.99

01:49:11.000 And they start walking and I'm like, what?

01:49:14.000 What did that have to do with anything in the show?

01:49:16.000 They're genies being attacked by the government, and you want to stop to pause to give me a lesson on partition?

01:49:22.000 Yo.

01:49:23.000 The show is so bad.

01:49:25.000 But, you know, I watch this because, like, I want to know.

01:49:29.000 You know, I want to review it myself, and I'm a big fan of Marvel, and watching this, I'm like, come on, man.

01:49:33.000 Like, I think Ms.

01:49:33.000 Marvel's cool.

01:49:34.000 I played the Avengers video game.

01:49:36.000 I dig it.

01:49:37.000 But just, I'm not here for a lesson on partition and British colonialism in India, okay?

01:49:41.000 So, can we just move the story around as to why this little girl, like, this teenager's got magic powers?

01:49:47.000 And can we just have fun and inspire and create a strong female character who saves the day? 0.99

01:49:51.000 The answer is no.

01:49:52.000 No?

01:49:55.000 Not unless you recognize partition.

01:49:57.000 Oh, she travels back in time to partition. 0.97

01:50:01.000 I try to picture the condescension and the low effort that's being put into trying to create so-called diversity by saying, you know, you know, remember Thor?

01:50:11.000 Well, now she's black. 1.00

01:50:13.000 And it's like, how, you know, why not instead, I mean, there's all sorts of African folklore. 0.77

01:50:19.000 Why not create new characters and have them be black and female or gay or whatever else?

01:50:25.000 Like, why take existing characters and say, oh, it's okay, we're going to include you. 0.80

01:50:30.000 It's about character assassination of the original fan base.

01:50:35.000 Well, and it's also... It's done out of contempt.

01:50:38.000 Well, that's a great way to make money.

01:50:40.000 But it's not about making money.

01:50:42.000 I think it's ideologues who have nothing to lose.

01:50:45.000 But even if it's ideological, right?

01:50:47.000 Like, if I have this ideological desire to spread diversity, this isn't diversity.

01:50:51.000 This is like... It's almost like a weird kind of blackface. 0.93

01:50:56.000 It's like saying, this character... And again, I'm using Thor.

01:51:00.000 I don't even know if they've changed Thor.

01:51:01.000 They changed Thor to a woman, but it's Natalie Portman.

01:51:03.000 Okay, well, but... She took possession of Yulnir.

01:51:07.000 Fair enough.

01:51:08.000 I don't think the storyline for The Mighty Thor is actually as bad as a lot of people complained about.

01:51:13.000 And I picked, I don't follow any of this, but I've just seen so many examples of like, okay, this character is now, you know, gay or black or Muslim or whatever else.

01:51:21.000 And it's like, why not instead have a new character that is that, and that is uniquely that person?

01:51:27.000 Like, that seems like that would be far more powerful and empowering and inclusive and embracing diversity than just saying, this one's black now.

01:51:38.000 Right.

01:51:38.000 It's like, here's an existing character.

01:51:40.000 Uh, we're going to just make him Latino, I guess. 1.00

01:51:44.000 So that it's like, no, no, no.

01:51:45.000 Make it, make a new hero.

01:51:46.000 Right.

01:51:46.000 Thor's unique because it's whoever picks up the hammer becomes Thor.

01:51:49.000 Like Eric Masterson was one at one point.

01:51:51.000 There was a guy before Eric Masterson.

01:51:52.000 Yeah.

01:51:52.000 That might not have been a good example, but just Superman or whatever.

01:51:55.000 I think it's because they are not as creative as like Stanley.

01:51:59.000 They're afraid to take risks and to create something that'll fall on its face.

01:52:02.000 That's something that's about to fall apart then, right?

01:52:05.000 If you're not disrupting and creating new things, then you end up becoming stagnant.

01:52:08.000 They're pod people who are wearing these institutions like skin suits.

01:52:12.000 They're lizards.

01:52:12.000 Let's read some more.

01:52:13.000 Let's read some more.

01:52:14.000 All right, Bami says, Albertan here, can you guys please just annex us?

01:52:18.000 It would be amazing and no more Trudeau.

01:52:21.000 Had so many scandals he should be in jail.

01:52:24.000 Only prime minister in history to be found to violate ethic laws.

01:52:27.000 They have oil too.

01:52:28.000 Dude, I thought of that while we were talking about how badass How awesome if we were all, I mean, I think if they tell you, if, if the American Canada became one United States and we were all like living in this decentralized freedom state, like able to do it, Mexico is the United States of Mexico.

01:52:42.000 That's the name of the country.

01:52:44.000 So like, if we, I understand that centralization isn't the, isn't the goal.

01:52:48.000 I don't want like a federal government controlling the Canadians, but dude, we're basically the same people with like these similar ideals.

01:52:55.000 And like, it's very. 0.73

01:52:57.000 I think I want to work from the bottom up to nullify the bad crap we have and then export that elsewhere.

01:53:02.000 Like, create a domino effect of people more locally and more in tune with their actual community, their actual culture.

01:53:10.000 And culture, by the way, does not have to be geographical or ethnic or anything like that.

01:53:14.000 It can be values-based.

01:53:15.000 It can be an online community that spans the entire globe.

01:53:18.000 Community-based, decentralized order.

01:53:22.000 with a eye towards nullifying the bad centrally planned order that's being imposed on them.

01:53:27.000 That's something that can become essentially worldwide, but it's focused at the local level and it's focused on the empowerment of the individual and on voluntary solutions over bad coerced ones.

01:53:37.000 All right, let's read this one.

01:53:38.000 We got, uh, Albedam says, Tim, per the UCMJ, Uniform Code for Military Justice, if a crime were to happen on a military base or off, the federal authorities, base commander, defense council, have jurisdiction over the military member first, as far as active duty goes.

01:53:55.000 Yes.

01:53:56.000 And on the military base, they have, like, exclusive right to criminally try.

01:54:00.000 But the point I was trying to get at with that is, What happens when you get to the point where the ideology is too strong?

01:54:07.000 And someone in the state says, this person who lives in our city took a baby Against its will to be killed on a military base.

01:54:17.000 Imagine it this way.

01:54:19.000 If there's a baby kidnapped and brought into a military base and then killed, and then the person comes back off, you might actually get people in the state rioting and demanding justice.

01:54:28.000 It may then fall upon the federal government to say, okay, they literally killed a baby.

01:54:31.000 But if the federal government doesn't recognize that as a crime, you could end up with people rioting.

01:54:35.000 You could end up with federal government saying, we will do nothing.

01:54:38.000 And that's the point of conflict.

01:54:40.000 So it's a, it's like you were saying the reality of power.

01:54:42.000 Reality of power.

01:54:42.000 The states have way more power at the state level.

01:54:44.000 They got the guns, they got the numbers.

01:54:46.000 So it's just a question of, I understand it's not legal, but secession wasn't according to Buchanan either.

01:54:52.000 It didn't stop them.

01:54:54.000 Will we get to that point where, it reminds me of V for Vendetta, when the inspector says, someone will eventually do something stupid, and then it shows the little girl skipping, wearing the mask, and then the cop shoots her, and then all of the locals just walk up and just beat the cop to death.

01:55:08.000 They don't care what was legal at that point.

01:55:10.000 Will we come to the point with abortion?

01:55:12.000 And I've talked about this before.

01:55:15.000 If we get a national ban on abortion because Republicans end up codifying it, Mike Pence says he wants it nationwide, just not enforced by the federal government.

01:55:26.000 Seamus says he wants a national ban.

01:55:29.000 If blue states then say, no, we won't stop.

01:55:33.000 Do you, let me ask you this.

01:55:34.000 Do you think there are, there's one person in this country who would, who would take it upon themselves just to stop them?

01:55:39.000 Were it codified illegal nationwide?

01:55:41.000 One person.

01:55:42.000 To stop the implementation.

01:55:44.000 Let's say federal government, Congress codifies because Republicans sweep in November.

01:55:49.000 Then Trump gets reelected and he signs this bill and then abortion is banned across the country.

01:55:53.000 California says, nope, we're still going to keep doing it.

01:55:56.000 Do you think there is one person in the United States from anywhere that would be like, I'm going to go to California to stop it?

01:56:01.000 Oh, to stop the Californians?

01:56:04.000 Yes.

01:56:06.000 And it's quite possible the federal government even does.

01:56:08.000 Because if the federal government says it's illegal at the federal level, then the federal government will go and enforce the law, which they say supersedes, if the will is there.

01:56:17.000 Because, you know, marijuana is illegal, but they're not going into these states.

01:56:19.000 So it really just depends on if they're willing to do it.

01:56:22.000 That's the point.

01:56:23.000 The willingness to reach that level of clash.

01:56:26.000 The will of the people.

01:56:27.000 That's part of the reality of power is whose side are the majority of people on?

01:56:32.000 Because they're also the ones voting, they're the ones making these kinds of like decisions of what they're willing to tolerate.

01:56:37.000 So I mean there are many different factors when you're figuring out power.

01:56:39.000 It's not just guns and numbers.

01:56:41.000 It's also like the perception of what's right or wrong by the plurality or the majority.

01:56:46.000 And all those things play into that.

01:56:48.000 I mean it can become a pretty big mess pretty quickly.

01:56:50.000 All right, Steven Geiger says, USMC vet here.

01:56:55.000 How will the military be able to provide abortions with the Hyde Amendment in effect? 0.86

01:56:59.000 That's a good point.

01:57:00.000 Good question.

01:57:00.000 They say they currently do.

01:57:01.000 Oh, because federal government can't provide funding for it.

01:57:05.000 But they said they currently do.

01:57:08.000 Now there is the very serious clash of... Has the... Wow, I can't... I don't remember this.

01:57:14.000 Has the Hyde Amendment been repealed?

01:57:16.000 Yeah, tell me about the Hyde Amendment.

01:57:18.000 So the Hyde Amendment is basically an amendment that was added at some point to, I believe, Medicare funding that said that the federal government dollars cannot be used directly for abortions.

01:57:29.000 So even like Title IX funding for Medicare or Medicaid supposedly isn't supposed to, it can go to Planned

01:57:35.000 Parenthood, but it can't go towards the abortions. 1.00

01:57:38.000 It can go towards everything else and then that frees up money for the abortions, but 0.72

01:57:40.000 it can't go towards the actual abortions.

01:57:42.000 This would be a case where they are actually funding abortions, but now I'm trying to remember

01:57:46.000 if the Hyde Amendment is still in effect or not.

01:57:49.000 I think it is.

01:57:50.000 All right, we got Jesse Meek.

01:57:51.000 He says, I'm a member of the Timcast website and simply can't send a pitch.

01:57:55.000 I've tried several times a day for 10 days now and can't even report the problem.

01:57:59.000 Is there a problem with the site?

01:58:01.000 Um, I don't know.

01:58:02.000 We'll check, we'll look into that to make sure.

01:58:04.000 But we've also, we don't accept pitches anymore.

01:58:06.000 Right.

01:58:06.000 Because we can't.

01:58:07.000 We can't.

01:58:08.000 You shut down the email.

01:58:09.000 Yeah, we shut down the email.

01:58:10.000 We can't we can't accept pitches.

01:58:11.000 So too many legal implications.

01:58:13.000 Because if you if you send a pitch, and then I don't even read it, but then we end up making the thing coincidentally, you can come at me for stealing your idea and it's not worth it.

01:58:21.000 It just makes people angry.

01:58:23.000 It's just better that we don't do it.

01:58:26.000 It's also but so it's just basically like, we don't want there to be any misconceptions or It will, because you couldn't respond to all of them.

01:58:35.000 Right, right, right, right.

01:58:36.000 And then people are like, I had this idea, and then we had a similar idea, and it's just like, it's better that we just take solicited pitches directly, which is the reality of the industry.

01:58:45.000 You know, I will say, we try to be scrappy and punk rock, but every day we learn exactly why businesses function the way they do.

01:58:56.000 You know, I've got friends at bigger companies, I won't name them, big CEOs, and they're like, it really is just the more people you hire, the more you become corporate, not by choice, by regulation.

01:59:09.000 So we're learning a lot about what the government mandates, and it's crazy.

01:59:14.000 You know, people are like, man, my job sucks.

01:59:16.000 The way they do these policies, I'm like, oh, those are legal.

01:59:18.000 Those are legally enforced policies.

01:59:20.000 Like the government makes them do it.

01:59:22.000 So that's the reality of growing a big company.

01:59:25.000 Yep.

01:59:26.000 Nothing you can do about it.

01:59:28.000 So it's like, stop your company from growing too big.

01:59:31.000 So you can stay being small and just having fun or try and have a big cultural impact.

01:59:36.000 And then the government steps in and says, now you have to do all of these things.

01:59:39.000 And then they're like, or then we can move our banks to Panama and become a multinational megacorp that lives outside of government bounds.

01:59:46.000 Like, you see why that happens.

01:59:48.000 Yeah, you either, there is not, you are not allowed to climb a steady ladder.

01:59:53.000 You have to choose a lane.

01:59:55.000 And the lane is either you grow up to a certain point, you don't get any bigger because it's not worth the hassle.

01:59:59.000 You dive into it and become a company that is making way more money but is just subject to so much regulation and becomes almost stagnant as a result.

02:00:08.000 Or you go to the next level where you just own everything.

02:00:10.000 And you see someone like Jeff Bezos.

02:00:13.000 Amazon literally has gone through each of those stages.

02:00:15.000 And to the point now where Jeff Bezos is buying entire media companies and putting out hit pieces against the Pentagon because they didn't approve his $10 billion no-bid deals.

02:00:25.000 It's almost like becoming Lex Luthor.

02:00:27.000 He originally started his company out of a small office and went from small business all the way up to, you know, the biggest mega company ever, almost.

02:00:35.000 So that's the progression of what happens.

02:00:37.000 And that's all because of the fascist, corporatist system that government imposes on the market.

02:00:42.000 Alright, B. Anderson says, if they're not going to enforce abortion bans on federal property, what's going to stop them from not enforcing acts against little ones' crimes?

02:00:51.000 I'm thinking about this.

02:00:52.000 This is interesting.

02:00:54.000 I tried looking up instances in which something is illegal at the state level, but not the federal level.

02:00:59.000 And I can't, it's really hard to find.

02:01:00.000 It's usually not that way.

02:01:02.000 Right.

02:01:02.000 But now we're there.

02:01:04.000 So let's say the government says, you know what?

02:01:08.000 Marijuana, federally legal.

02:01:09.000 Because the Democrats are really pushing it.

02:01:11.000 We got some libertarian types in Congress.

02:01:13.000 It may happen.

02:01:14.000 But then you have a state like West Virginia, where it's illegal.

02:01:18.000 And they're going to say, yeah, well, federal law supersedes state law, but hold on, hold on.

02:01:22.000 They're taking the law off the books.

02:01:24.000 Just because it's not criminalized at the federal level doesn't mean you can do it.

02:01:28.000 So what happens then?

02:01:30.000 If you have people in West Virginia going onto federal bases to do illegal drugs, as West Virginia would see it, are they going to be like, we're okay with this?

02:01:40.000 What if it goes even crazier?

02:01:42.000 What if the Democrats actually say, like, heroin?

02:01:44.000 And now you have heroin addicts wandering off federal property for whatever, maybe a military base, and they're all strung out, and they're causing problems in the state.

02:01:52.000 And the state's like, we gotta arrest these people.

02:01:55.000 Like, I don't think the state would tolerate people going into a military base, committing serious crimes, and then coming out.

02:02:01.000 The thing that might be worth looking into is post-prohibition.

02:02:05.000 You had, you know, it was legal but regulated at the federal level, but there were still many dry states and towns for quite some time after that.

02:02:13.000 The dry states now it's more like you know you can't drink it in a restaurant or whatever but like there used to be like it's still illegal in this town do not be caught drinking or possessing it here.

02:02:22.000 It would be interesting to see if there are any cases where like there was a military base there and there were people getting drunk on base and then you know wandering out into town and whether or not they tried to arrest them because of that.

02:02:32.000 I would guess that it would be no.

02:02:35.000 That it would be because federal usurp state and it is federal property that they would likely say no you can't do that.

02:02:41.000 But again, reality of power comes into place.

02:02:43.000 If it reaches a cultural level, if it reaches a political level where it is most politically expedient for the people in charge at that state to say, you know what?

02:02:52.000 We're going to enforce it anyway.

02:02:53.000 We don't care what the Supreme Court says. 1.00

02:02:55.000 We don't care what the White House says.

02:02:57.000 We don't care what anyone says.

02:02:58.000 We're going to do it anyway.

02:02:59.000 Then the rule of law doesn't even mean anything.

02:03:01.000 Alright, we'll get one more here.

02:03:03.000 QuicklySaw6 says the Army doesn't allow it under Article 119A, and TRICARE does not cover it.

02:03:10.000 You need an ETP signed by a general officer after your provider gave you a memo saying you will die if you keep going.

02:03:16.000 Perhaps they're just blowing hot air.

02:03:19.000 The Pentagon is just saying, we're gonna keep doing it, but they really don't do it anyway.

02:03:23.000 It could very well be it.
