Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Jussie Smollett To Be RELEASED, Judge Agrees To Let Him Out Of Jail w-Terry Schilling

00:00:04.000 Jesse Smollett will soon be a free man.

00:00:06.000 Court has agreed that he is, that he should be released.

00:00:11.000 Why?

00:00:11.000 Because he's appealing, and he would be in jail, well, he would get out of jail, actually, after the appeals process ended.

00:00:18.000 So, it all seems all just so silly.

00:00:21.000 But this is the reality we live in.

00:00:23.000 We also have this BLM activist who's been indicted on 18 different felony charges for fraud, along with her husband, so we'll talk about that.

00:00:31.000 Disney workers are going to be protesting the parental rights and education bill, which makes no sense.

00:00:35.000 As it turns out, the majority of Americans actually support the content, the core of this bill.

00:00:40.000 Of course, we also have stuff happening in Ukraine, so we'll be talking about that as well.

00:00:44.000 Unfortunately, tonight Ian is sick and will not be joining us.

00:00:48.000 But joining us to talk about this and much more is Terry Shilling.

00:00:51.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?

00:00:52.000 Yeah, thanks so much for having me, Tim.

00:00:54.000 Terry Schilling, president of American Principals Project.

00:00:57.000 We are the NRA but for families, so we don't do guns, we do families.

00:01:02.000 We helped start the anti-transgender sports fight.

00:01:05.000 We started spending a lot of money on campaign ads attacking politicians who were wanting to put boys and girls sports.

00:01:12.000 And what do you know?

00:01:14.000 The American people are against that in a big way.

00:01:18.000 We've been working in the states.

00:01:20.000 We've passed pro-women's sports legislation in 11 states now.

00:01:27.000 Iowa's the most recent one.

00:01:28.000 And now that fight's kind of evolving into something even bigger.

00:01:32.000 So we're really happy.

00:01:34.000 It's really necessary.

00:01:35.000 Cool.

00:01:37.000 Let's talk about that stuff, too, along with everything else.

00:01:39.000 We've got Seamus.

00:01:40.000 Yeah, very excited to be here.

00:01:41.000 I think this is going to be a great conversation.

00:01:42.000 An NRA for families.

00:01:45.000 Yeah, this idea that we would actually have a lobby for the family, which is the building block of society.

00:01:52.000 Unbelievable.

00:01:53.000 That's so novel to us.

00:01:55.000 But thank you for the work you're doing.

00:04:11.000 Now, let's jump into that first story.

00:04:14.000 Breaking news!

00:04:16.000 Court orders Jussie Smollett released from jail during his appeal after just six days in prison.

00:04:23.000 Disgraced Empire actor Jussie Smollett will be released after serving just six days.

00:04:27.000 Judges sided with his lawyers, who argued that he would be finished with his sentence before the appeals process was complete.

00:04:34.000 He was sentenced to 150 days after being convicted of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for falsely reporting a racist and homophobic attack in 2019.

00:04:42.000 Smollett could have served just 75 days with good behavior.

00:04:45.000 He had been kept in psychiatric care in a restraint bed in the Cook County Jail.

00:04:52.000 Yikes, man.

00:04:53.000 So as many of you are probably aware, he started yelling, I'm not suicidal over and over again, which made many of us believe that he was.

00:05:00.000 And we did mention this briefly on the show.

00:05:02.000 We mentioned it last time a little bit.

00:05:04.000 My view, and I think this is what you're saying, we agree.

00:05:07.000 He was actually suicidal.

00:05:10.000 And by saying he wasn't, he was hoping that people would think it was a conspiracy.

00:05:14.000 Cause I gotta, I gotta be honest.

00:05:15.000 His, his life's over.

00:05:16.000 It's been over. 0.92

00:05:17.000 He's a joke.

00:05:18.000 Well, that's what I said on air a couple of days ago when we first talked about the story.

00:05:22.000 Granted, it's just speculation.

00:05:23.000 We have no idea what his motives are, but it sounded to me like it was at least possible that this is something a person who's planning on killing themselves would say if they were a complete egomaniac who wanted people to think that there was some kind of conspiracy behind it.

00:05:35.000 There's something sociopathic about this guy.

00:05:37.000 I mean, when you have someone that's able to literally, like, cry on demand and go into great detail about the entire hoax.

00:05:47.000 And I think this is really tragic, this whole news story, right?

00:05:50.000 Because it's setting an example.

00:05:52.000 The whole point of punishing these people is to show society what happens when you do something like this.

00:05:58.000 And so, he gets out of jail now after six days.

00:06:01.000 There's going to be a lot more hoaxes.

00:06:03.000 And I think that might actually be deliberate on the left's part, right?

00:06:06.000 Like, they don't want these hoaxes to go away.

00:06:10.000 There was a tweet from, I think it was Matt Walsh, and he had a bunch of tweets from like him and Andy Ngo.

00:06:17.000 And he was basically saying that he couldn't, you know, in almost every circumstance, these hate crimes where someone spray paints something, they turn out to be hoaxes.

00:06:25.000 And then he shows this story in four parts, you know, quote tweets from Andy Ngo, him, and some other person.

00:06:31.000 And you know, he says, I can't recall a single moment.

00:06:35.000 It may have been Andy Ngo said this, in recent memory of one of these turning out to be real,

00:06:40.000 someone responded with, you should pay attention because this happened at Emory and then post a

00:06:43.000 link. And then Andy Ngo is like, the guy who did that was a black, the guy who wrote the graffiti

00:06:47.000 and the racial slurs was actually a black guy. So I got to be honest. Yeah, the only, the only

00:06:54.000 instance I can think of that was, was not a hoax was like some kids in New York use sidewalk chalk

00:07:01.000 and made swastikas and that was it.

00:07:03.000 And it was like some little kids, so there was no real like direct attack on a store or a person.

00:07:09.000 I'm like, no, I think that one was like actually, maybe I'm wrong about that.

00:07:13.000 But there was that story I remember that was a former NFL player had a pizza shop and like a chicken shop and then they were they were doing really bad so he just ransacked them and spray-painted racial slurs and then you know.

00:07:25.000 It happens and the thing about these little kids I remember in high school my friends would prank me by drawing swastikas on my notebook.

00:07:33.000 I'm not kidding.

00:07:34.000 And we had this whole thing of just turn it into windows.

00:07:41.000 Little kids can't comprehend Nazism. 0.66

00:07:44.000 They don't understand the gravity of the Holocaust and how terrible it was.

00:07:48.000 And so they prank each other with that.

00:07:50.000 It's usually either a really terrible prank from someone that's super immature or a total hoax where someone's trying to get more attention or get away with fraud.

00:07:58.000 I think it's people just trying to get attention.

00:08:00.000 How many churches have been vandalized?

00:08:03.000 I mean, you've probably seen these stories, right?

00:08:04.000 Yeah, of course.

00:08:04.000 They'll put racial slurs in the parking lot and then it was just like, it was someone from the church backstaging a hoax.

00:08:12.000 Yeah, no, I mean, it's disgusting stuff.

00:08:13.000 I'm sure a couple years ago, you guys remember there was this story at Mizzou and within one of the bathroom stalls, someone had drawn a swastika using fecal matter.

00:08:22.000 And we were told that this was a neo-Nazi attack.

00:08:25.000 And so first of all, extremely unbalanced, mentally ill person to draw anything with fecal matter. 1.00

00:08:30.000 But somebody who's actually a Nazi is not going to depict their sacred, cherished symbol with human crap. 1.00

00:08:38.000 Right, right. 0.99

00:08:39.000 But the conclusion oh my goodness.

00:08:40.000 This is a hate crime It was very bizarre instead of like wow what a bizarre disgusting thing to do it was this is white supremacy Yeah, it's hard sometimes waking up and being like oh, that's the news again. 0.52

00:08:49.000 Mm-hmm.

00:08:50.000 Yes, it keeps happening Yeah, these stories and and it's it's remarkable that you know, what really is just It's kind of depressing.

00:08:58.000 Jesse Smollett's being released.

00:09:00.000 You know, we thought we got him.

00:09:01.000 We got him.

00:09:02.000 He was arrested.

00:09:03.000 He was caught.

00:09:03.000 We knew it.

00:09:04.000 He goes through trial.

00:09:05.000 He is mocked and ridiculed.

00:09:08.000 More evidence comes out.

00:09:09.000 It seems like a clear-cut, slam-dunk case.

00:09:11.000 Finally convicted.

00:09:13.000 Then we await sentencing and we're like, please, just for once, lock one of these people up.

00:09:17.000 And they're like, okay.

00:09:19.000 We let him out six days later.

00:09:20.000 Well, what are you taking out?

00:09:22.000 What are you offering odds on that he gets another, like another acting gig?

00:09:25.000 Hollywood's going to take him back.

00:09:28.000 I mean, I would take one to one odds on that.

00:09:32.000 Really?

00:09:32.000 Definitely.

00:09:33.000 I wouldn't be shocked.

00:09:33.000 One to one odds?

00:09:35.000 Yeah, or one to one.

00:09:38.000 I would take one-to-one odds that he gets some type of new TV deal or music.

00:09:45.000 He'll come and repair his image.

00:09:46.000 This is what they do.

00:09:47.000 He'll have a whole apology tour, right?

00:09:49.000 He'll come out and say he was sorry, he realized what he did and how bad it was, and then he starts making millions again.

00:09:55.000 Doesn't one-to-one mean that you'd put up money and win nothing if you were right?

00:09:59.000 No, no, no, I mean a dollar for a dollar, right?

00:10:01.000 So I, uh, plus 100.

00:10:02.000 So that's two to one though, isn't it?

00:10:05.000 No, no, no.

00:10:05.000 Two to one is I put up a dollar and if I win, you pay me two bucks.

00:10:09.000 Is that what it is?

00:10:10.000 Sure.

00:10:11.000 Okay.

00:10:12.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:10:13.000 Sorry.

00:10:13.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:10:14.000 I haven't been in the casino in long enough.

00:10:15.000 It's been actually a couple weeks.

00:10:17.000 Yeah.

00:10:17.000 So you think so?

00:10:18.000 I kind of thought his career was over.

00:10:20.000 I mean, he's a laughingstock.

00:10:22.000 In a non-clown world, I think. 0.94

00:10:23.000 I think it's over, but we live in clown world. 0.62

00:10:25.000 That's true! 0.81

00:10:26.000 I mean, and also, so I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with Brian Peck, but he was convicted, I believe, of raping a child, and he was brought back to work at Disney after he served his sentence.

00:10:38.000 So, Oh no, I'm sorry.

00:10:40.000 So yeah, ABC slash Disney hires convicted child molester Brian Peck to work on children's TV show one year after he's released from prison.

00:10:46.000 So the idea that they're above hiring Jesse Smollett is... Yeah, that's true.

00:10:50.000 And they gave, you know, was it Roman Polanski?

00:10:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:10:54.000 And who's the other guy?

00:10:55.000 Who's the other guy?

00:10:55.000 What's his face?

00:10:57.000 The newer guy, right?

00:10:58.000 Who was joking about pedophilia on Twitter?

00:11:00.000 No, no, no.

00:11:01.000 The other guy with the glasses.

00:11:03.000 Oh, I can't remember.

00:11:04.000 What's his name?

00:11:05.000 He's a famous, famous guy?

00:11:06.000 Famous guy with glasses?

00:11:07.000 I don't know.

00:11:08.000 Director, producer, whatever.

00:11:10.000 Steven Spielberg.

00:11:12.000 No, no, no.

00:11:12.000 I don't know enough about movies and stuff.

00:11:14.000 Yeah.

00:11:18.000 I don't know.

00:11:19.000 But yeah, like with Whoopi Goldberg, they brought her right back.

00:11:21.000 And I'm still flabbergasted by the fact that Andrew Gillum is still a name in political circles after what happened with him.

00:11:27.000 Absolutely insane.

00:11:28.000 Is he really?

00:11:28.000 He's still around.

00:11:29.000 Yeah, he's rehabbing his image.

00:11:31.000 He's repairing his marriage after that.

00:11:32.000 That's why that's why sometimes that's why I say I wake up and I see the news and I'm just like, how about we go and talk about, you know, Donut Factory instead?

00:11:40.000 Because it's it's it's just I'm sick of how do people believe this stuff at this point?

00:11:45.000 How do how do we how do we sit back and allow these kind of things to happen?

00:11:49.000 You know, it's just kind of mind-numbing.

00:11:50.000 Yeah, well, you know Ian mentioned this the other day that I'd said to him the way I define elite is as a person who's never gonna face any consequences for their actions and we see that in the case of Jesse Smollett.

00:12:00.000 He was sentenced but then he's let go after serving six days.

00:12:03.000 So honestly, I guess those are more harsh consequences than a lot of other people we would consider elite would ever end up facing but we shouldn't be surprised that he's let go because what he did was try to forward the narrative that they're constantly trying to promote in the media.

00:12:16.000 Woody Allen.

00:12:17.000 Racist Woody Allen. 0.90

00:12:18.000 Didn't he do something? 0.97

00:12:19.000 With his daughter or something.

00:12:21.000 There was something really screwed up with him.

00:12:23.000 Yeah.

00:12:24.000 People are mentioning James Gunn too.

00:12:26.000 Yeah, but James Gunn was trying to be an edgelord and failing.

00:12:30.000 He thought he was posting, you know, obscene jokes about children would be funny and people were like, bro, that's gross stuff.

00:12:35.000 Don't do that.

00:12:36.000 So it's different if you think you're being edgy, you know, and it's not, and it's bad.

00:12:41.000 Like, I'll be like, bro, that was bad.

00:12:43.000 Don't do it again.

00:12:43.000 I think that's right.

00:12:44.000 But, you know, like Roman and Woody and Jussie Smollett.

00:12:48.000 Yeah, that's kind of like, yo, those people shouldn't be welcome back in this place.

00:12:52.000 Yeah.

00:12:52.000 That's cancel culture.

00:12:53.000 Jussie Smollett should be canceled.

00:12:55.000 Exactly.

00:12:55.000 Well, this is hilarious because every single time anyone on the right points out that a person has done something terrible, the left goes, I thought you were against cancel culture, as if that's any kind of point against our argument that you shouldn't comb through someone's tweets from 12 years ago and then try to cancel them because they said men are men.

00:13:12.000 That race car driver's dad, who's had the Edward in the 80s, and so sponsors canceled him.

00:13:19.000 That's so insane.

00:13:20.000 Some things should be canceled, right?

00:13:22.000 Like there's a reason why we have laws in prison and like some things should have a stigma to them.

00:13:26.000 Yeah, but I think the problem is it always comes back to this one issue where it's just, you know, institutions and even conservatives take these people seriously.

00:13:35.000 And I'm just like, why?

00:13:38.000 Stop contracting with them.

00:13:39.000 Stop working with them.

00:13:40.000 Stop servicing them.

00:13:41.000 Stop hiring them. 0.96

00:13:42.000 Stop being hired by them.

00:13:44.000 Just tell these unserious people to go away. 0.85

00:13:47.000 Like if I, there was a comic book store, like a game shop, and I see the big BLM fist, I keep walking. 0.98

00:13:53.000 And I'm like, I look up on Google and it's like, we sell Magic the Gathering cards and comic books.

00:13:57.000 I'm like, I'm going to go check it out.

00:13:58.000 And I show up and I see a big sign in the window and I just turn right back around, get my car and leave.

00:14:02.000 I'll order it online, dude. 0.89

00:14:03.000 I'm not going to give any service to these unserious, psychotic cultists.

00:14:07.000 Just, just no, I'm sorry.

00:14:09.000 These are the, these people are the reason Jussie Smollett gets away with this.

00:14:12.000 These are the people who cheered for every single hoax every time.

00:14:18.000 They always fall for it.

00:14:19.000 And it's not even that they're falling for it.

00:14:21.000 No, no, no.

00:14:22.000 It's part of the plan, right?

00:14:23.000 Well, no, no.

00:14:24.000 Continue, continue.

00:14:25.000 But I have a point I want to make about falling for it.

00:14:26.000 No, I just think it's part of their plan.

00:14:28.000 They want division.

00:14:29.000 They want chaos.

00:14:30.000 They don't, they want us withdrawing from society and not participating, right?

00:14:36.000 And I think that it's really important not to fall trap to that, but also to figure out

00:14:39.000 how to not support them and give them legitimacy.

00:14:42.000 Yeah, so it's interesting because I think you're right that they don't fall for it because

00:14:45.000 to them it does not matter whether something is true or false.

00:14:47.000 What matters is whether it maps under their ideological worldview because then in some subjective sense it's poetically true so it's okay for them to promote it and it forwards their goal which is overall good and noble.

00:14:57.000 The people who fall for it are the conservatives who don't immediately say this sounds ridiculous and it's probably BS because we're afraid that there's some slight possibility that it's a true story and we don't want to be labeled racist the one time it may have actually happened.

00:15:12.000 You know what I think?

00:15:14.000 I actually, I agree with you.

00:15:17.000 I don't know if Jesse Smollett is going to get work, right?

00:15:20.000 So they're gonna let him out of jail.

00:15:22.000 Maybe his appeal just fails and he goes back to jail.

00:15:25.000 They're saying it's only gonna be 75 days.

00:15:26.000 So, you know, two and a half months with good behavior.

00:15:29.000 I don't know if he gets rehired to act, but I would actually be willing to bet That he would get a reality TV show following the saga.

00:15:40.000 I mean, people will watch it.

00:15:41.000 Why not a CNN gig?

00:15:43.000 Or MSNBC?

00:15:44.000 I mean, that's how fundamentally unserious those networks are.

00:15:48.000 I don't know about CNN.

00:15:50.000 I think it would be interesting to see them bring him on because he's friends with Don Lemon.

00:15:54.000 But they, you know, CNN, as bad as they are, they don't want to, you know, punch holes purposefully in their ship if it sinks.

00:16:00.000 But hold on, look, you know, what A&E or AMC or whatever, what's the channel that does the weird?

00:16:06.000 A&E?

00:16:06.000 A&E.

00:16:07.000 Yeah, they're gonna be like Justice Millette reality show and it's gonna be him sitting down and be like,

00:16:11.000 I didn't do this, I gotta call my lawyer and they're gonna follow him around.

00:16:14.000 People would watch that because they hate him.

00:16:17.000 So that's his opportunity and he's gonna, I just, he's gonna write a book.

00:16:22.000 If I did it.

00:16:23.000 Yeah, exactly, he's gonna do, if I did it, he's gonna have this whole OJ tour.

00:16:26.000 He's gonna like, he's gonna go find the real hoaxer.

00:16:29.000 Yeah.

00:16:30.000 I think that you guys are underestimating how good of an actor Jesse is.

00:16:34.000 He's just gonna slip into a new life somewhere, become a different person, and he's just gonna blend in wherever he is because he's so talented that way.

00:16:43.000 And then there's gonna be some beloved celebrity 20 years from now who everyone worships and he's gonna go It was I all along!

00:16:50.000 Jussie! 0.99

00:16:51.000 And I fooled you with my incredible acting skill.

00:16:53.000 Isn't it crazy though?

00:16:53.000 I mean, look at when he went on, uh, was it ABC?

00:16:56.000 How he- was it ABC he did the interview?

00:16:58.000 Yeah, I think it was 60 Minutes or something.

00:16:59.000 60 Minutes.

00:16:59.000 He manufactures perfectly these tears.

00:17:02.000 Yeah.

00:17:02.000 This performance.

00:17:03.000 Well, that's what I'm saying.

00:17:04.000 He is one of the greatest actors.

00:17:06.000 Of all time.

00:17:06.000 Of all time, yes.

00:17:07.000 That was the whole thing.

00:17:09.000 I mean, the whole thing was a demo tape for him.

00:17:11.000 He comes out and he's like, I want to admit that I staged the whole thing and the court, the trial, that was the performance.

00:17:16.000 That was the performance.

00:17:17.000 I'll be in jail.

00:17:17.000 I'll be out in two months.

00:17:18.000 Call my agent.

00:17:19.000 Very avant-garde piece of art.

00:17:21.000 Do you remember when Joaquin Phoenix did that thing?

00:17:23.000 No.

00:17:23.000 He, like, quit acting and then started rapping and everyone was like, what is he doing?

00:17:28.000 What's happening?

00:17:28.000 And then it turned out that it was a big stunt.

00:17:30.000 Yep.

00:17:31.000 I remember that.

00:17:32.000 That's probably just his best bet.

00:17:34.000 It was a big stunt!

00:17:35.000 I was just joshing, you guys.

00:17:37.000 I was joshing around.

00:17:38.000 Alright.

00:17:39.000 I wasn't serious.

00:17:40.000 He'd probably go to jail for a lot longer if he said that.

00:17:42.000 Can you imagine?

00:17:44.000 I don't think so.

00:17:45.000 I don't think he's ever going to see prison time.

00:17:47.000 No, I think actually if he admitted that he did it and it was a hoax and he did it for acting, he'd get less time.

00:17:52.000 He'd get an Oscar, bro.

00:17:53.000 No, he would get less time in jail because he's getting 150 days Even though he's refusing to admit what he did was wrong.

00:18:02.000 Yeah.

00:18:02.000 He's still denying it.

00:18:03.000 So they're, you know, they're giving him that penalty.

00:18:05.000 The idea is there's something called the trial tax.

00:18:07.000 You go to trial, you get a harsher penalty because the idea is really that you're wasting the court's time, so they punish you.

00:18:13.000 But the idea is supposed to be that you haven't learned your lesson, so you need more time in jail.

00:18:18.000 Well, and then, to put it cynically, the other idea is if we make people feel more afraid to go to trial, then we can just sentence people for crimes without actually having to give them their day in court.

00:18:28.000 Yeah, so they'll pick him back up.

00:18:30.000 Maybe.

00:18:31.000 Yeah, I mean, at the very least, it's not something we would ever put past them.

00:18:35.000 Oh, man.

00:18:36.000 Isn't it depressing, though?

00:18:38.000 I guess.

00:18:39.000 If you ever had any hope in Hollywood, I suppose.

00:18:42.000 Or the legal system.

00:18:45.000 That's fair.

00:18:46.000 But it's also Chicago.

00:18:47.000 I mean, I'm from Illinois, so it's... As are we.

00:18:52.000 It is an interesting place.

00:18:54.000 It would just be so funny if it turns out that this really did happen and the cops staged all the evidence to like...

00:19:01.000 You know, just make him look bad.

00:19:02.000 It's like the worst white supremacist hate crime that's ever taken place in all of history. 0.94

00:19:05.000 Turns out that the two white dudes who attacked Jesse were actually, like, off-duty cops. 0.95

00:19:09.000 Goes all the way up to Trump.

00:19:10.000 Even higher.

00:19:10.000 Goes all the way up to Putin.

00:19:11.000 And it actually is Manga Country, and we just... We're making fun of this poor guy.

00:19:15.000 No one tells you this, but Cook County, very red.

00:19:18.000 Very, very red.

00:19:19.000 Incredibly red.

00:19:20.000 Yeah.

00:19:20.000 Deep red.

00:19:21.000 Cook County?

00:19:22.000 Yeah.

00:19:22.000 It's just a city, right?

00:19:23.000 Extremely red.

00:19:24.000 No, it's a little bit outside of the city.

00:19:25.000 Some of the suburbs are Cook County.

00:19:26.000 Well, Illinois itself is red.

00:19:28.000 Just, you go to Chicago.

00:19:29.000 It's true.

00:19:29.000 Well, who is it that said there are no, uh, there are no red or no blue states, only blue cities?

00:19:34.000 Yeah.

00:19:35.000 That's right.

00:19:36.000 That's true.

00:19:36.000 And there are red cities, which is interesting.

00:19:38.000 But the interesting thing about Chicago is that it's not even blue.

00:19:42.000 It's zombie.

00:19:44.000 You have, like Illinois, growing up in Chicago, you have the zombie contingent and the Republican contingent. 0.99

00:19:50.000 And Republicans, you know, they can vary from very ignorant to very knowledgeable. 0.93

00:19:55.000 But the people in the cities who are voting Democrat are the zombie contingent, 99%. 0.96

00:20:00.000 And that's what I grew up around, people who are just like, vote blue no matter who.

00:20:04.000 And I'm like, who are you voting for?

00:20:05.000 No, don't care, as long as it's not a Republican.

00:20:07.000 And I'm like, the city has been run by Democrats for 80 plus years, and it's worse than ever.

00:20:13.000 No, it's doing really well.

00:20:14.000 Just worse than ever.

00:20:15.000 And it's funny, too, because we used to have... Do you guys know what elotes is?

00:20:20.000 It's like, on the south side of Chicago, these guys pull up with carts full of corn.

00:20:26.000 Oh! 0.60

00:20:27.000 Yeah, they'll take the corn, and they put mayonnaise, parmesan, and cayenne pepper on it, and you eat it.

00:20:32.000 So good.

00:20:33.000 Or, I would always have them, they cut the corn off into a cup and mix it with mayonnaise, parmesan, and cayenne, and they had it to you, it was like a dollar.

00:20:40.000 They got banned in our neighborhood.

00:20:42.000 Terrible.

00:20:44.000 But only, like, they couldn't cross Cicero on the south side, because when you crossed... So this is the fascinating thing about the Midway area.

00:20:52.000 From, like, Harlem to Cicero, which is a few miles, from 47th to, like, 63rd was a generally white Polish immigrant and, like, whiter area.

00:21:02.000 When you crossed 47th to the north side, it was all black community, all black housing. 1.00

00:21:06.000 When you crossed Cicero, it became all, like, Latino. 1.00

00:21:09.000 So the city for some reason banned the Elotes guys from coming into our neighborhood, 1.00

00:21:13.000 but they couldn't cross Cicero. And that was the weirdest thing to us because we were like,

00:21:18.000 so the guys who sell corn who are Hispanic can stay in the Hispanic neighborhood,

00:21:22.000 but we like the corn. We love those guys. They took it away from us.

00:21:27.000 It's almost like they wanted the segregation in that city.

00:21:29.000 Yes.

00:21:30.000 And here's the funny thing is there are certain things that break down cultural divides, right?

00:21:35.000 Like it's food, it's music, it's movies, literature.

00:21:41.000 And I do think there's something to that.

00:21:44.000 This whole anti-cultural appropriation thing is really meant to keep us from participating in other

00:21:50.000 cultures and being open to it and breaking down those barriers.

00:21:55.000 Like Cinco de Mayo is a great holiday because everyone likes tacos.

00:21:58.000 And it's not denigrating to the Mexican community to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

00:22:04.000 It's a good thing to participate.

00:22:05.000 Catholics are really good about this.

00:22:08.000 We take over and baptize all these pagan holidays and make them ours. 0.96

00:22:12.000 It's beautiful.

00:22:14.000 That's colonization.

00:22:15.000 And we're not giving them back.

00:22:17.000 Ever.

00:22:18.000 Ever.

00:22:18.000 Not even Christmas.

00:22:20.000 That's what we're told.

00:22:21.000 Not even Christmas.

00:22:22.000 Which I didn't know.

00:22:22.000 I've had people tell me that.

00:22:23.000 They're like, you know when you worship Easter, you're worshipping a fertility goddess?

00:22:27.000 I didn't know that.

00:22:28.000 Wow, interesting.

00:22:29.000 I didn't know that.

00:22:30.000 But I guess you know better than me what I'm doing.

00:22:32.000 Yeah, that's surprising.

00:22:33.000 You didn't realize that you didn't catch yourself when you were praying that you were actually saying fertility goddess?

00:22:38.000 I know, it's crazy.

00:22:39.000 It's like you were saying those words.

00:22:41.000 But yeah, no, it's true that there are a lot of things from other cultures that can be sanctified, and people from different cultures are able to relate to each other.

00:22:48.000 And part of the problem is because racial tensions are so high, and we have really stoked the flames of genuine hatred along ethnic lines, people are afraid not only to participate in other people's cultures, but to even engage in humor that might be targeted towards other groups, even in a more playful way.

00:23:05.000 And I find it interesting because I think you see this happen sometimes.

00:23:09.000 Every now and again, you'll meet that couple who make jokes about each other, but you can tell it's in like kind of a stabby sort of way.

00:23:16.000 They're really being sort of, uh, crass and snide to each other and it's very painful for everyone who's there.

00:23:22.000 But then you have some couples who can kind of poke fun at each other and it's really funny and everyone enjoys it.

00:23:27.000 I think what happens is, as a relationship between two people or a group of people breaks down, humor goes from something which can be cherished and which is very endearing and helps bring them together, and it turns into something really insulting.

00:23:39.000 And the same exact joke can be really funny coming from a person who you have a good relationship with, or really offensive coming from someone who you don't.

00:23:48.000 And so I think breaking down racial relations, people ask why everything's so PC.

00:23:53.000 I think a huge part of it is we just don't trust each other.

00:23:56.000 I was just thinking about the cultural appropriation stuff and the protests.

00:24:00.000 Remember that video where the girl at prom or whatever, she wore the... Chinese dress? 0.86

00:24:05.000 Yeah, what is it called?

00:24:06.000 A kimono?

00:24:07.000 No, that's Japanese.

00:24:09.000 It was a Chinese thing.

00:24:12.000 People in the chat will tell us what it was called, so I'm forgetting.

00:24:15.000 And then people in China were like, that's cool.

00:24:17.000 They actually really liked it.

00:24:18.000 And I thought about, I was thinking about this.

00:24:19.000 There's also the video where the guy's got dreads and the black girl like literally grabs him and she's like, you're stealing my culture. 0.98

00:24:25.000 And he's like, what are you talking about?

00:24:27.000 And then I'm like, how come these people never protest Taco Bell?

00:24:31.000 Why don't they show up to Panda Express?

00:24:32.000 Well, also as if, like, there's one ethnic group that just owns dreadlocks. 0.71

00:24:36.000 Right.

00:24:37.000 That's not true, though.

00:24:38.000 I mean, the Vikings had it.

00:24:39.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:24:39.000 That's my point.

00:24:40.000 And, you know, I know a bunch of people in Scandinavian countries who have dreadlocks because of, like, they had dreadlocks.

00:24:45.000 But it's like, people have hair, dude!

00:24:47.000 Right.

00:24:47.000 People can do what they want to their hair.

00:24:49.000 You don't own hairstyles.

00:24:50.000 That's our do.

00:24:51.000 Can't do that to your hair.

00:24:52.000 Intellectual property.

00:24:53.000 Yo, yo, Taco Bell bears no resemblance to actual Mexican food.

00:24:57.000 That's exactly right.

00:24:58.000 Hard shell tacos.

00:24:59.000 Burritos?

00:25:00.000 Burritos aren't a Mexican thing.

00:25:03.000 And cheddar cheese?

00:25:04.000 What's going on here?

00:25:06.000 That nacho cheese is not cheese!

00:25:08.000 It's powder cheese!

00:25:11.000 Panda Express.

00:25:12.000 Now I'll tell you.

00:25:13.000 Taco Bell is delicious.

00:25:14.000 It's almost worth the bottle obstruction.

00:25:16.000 Panda Express is also delicious.

00:25:18.000 But man, they're just chunks of sugary fried chicken.

00:25:22.000 But it's good.

00:25:23.000 But I'm not going to pretend it's actually Chinese food.

00:25:25.000 You know, Thai food in this country is a sugary, fatty, Americanized version.

00:25:30.000 The same thing with like all of these different foods.

00:25:32.000 And you know what?

00:25:33.000 People love it.

00:25:34.000 So if these people want to go, oh, cultural appropriation is wrong.

00:25:37.000 Stop ordering Pad Thai on Grubhub.

00:25:39.000 I know you're doing it because it's like the number one food on Grubhub or it's in the top five or whatever.

00:25:44.000 Pizza, it's Italian.

00:25:45.000 What gives you the right?

00:25:47.000 No one's protesting these things.

00:25:48.000 You know what, you ever notice that no one ever starts an Irish food chain?

00:25:53.000 Like an Irish food fast food chain?

00:25:55.000 It's so terrible!

00:25:56.000 That's not like a large national thing, you know?

00:25:58.000 You don't have it in every- you don't have a bunch of them in every single city or state.

00:26:02.000 We have Scottish.

00:26:03.000 We wish some people would appropriate that part of- honestly, no, I'm glad that- Why don't you make O'Donald's?

00:26:08.000 Oh my gosh, that's the thing.

00:26:10.000 McDonald's, it's an Irish name, and you go in there and it's like, this is not Irish food.

00:26:13.000 No, it's MC.

00:26:13.000 It's when it's M-A-C, it's Scottish.

00:26:15.000 When I went to the UK, they told me it was Scottish.

00:26:17.000 What did those Brits say to you?

00:26:19.000 They were gonna tell you more colonizer lies about Ireland?

00:26:21.000 And you're gonna believe them, bro?

00:26:23.000 Are you serious right now?

00:26:24.000 Learn your history.

00:26:25.000 Look it up, I think you're wrong.

00:26:27.000 Oh, maybe.

00:26:27.000 I hope not.

00:26:28.000 Because if we lose McDonald's, we have nothing left. 0.98

00:26:30.000 In the United States, I often have like a stupid dad joke where I tell people and they're like, what do you want to get? 0.96

00:26:35.000 And I'll be like, do you guys want to get Irish food? 0.99

00:26:36.000 They'll be like, oh yeah, it's a good place to make McDonald's.

00:26:39.000 That's good.

00:26:39.000 And everyone laughs.

00:26:41.000 I did that in the UK and they all looked at me and they were like, that's Scottish.

00:26:43.000 And I was like, no, no, it's MC.

00:26:44.000 And they were like, oh, is Irish. 0.97

00:26:46.000 MC is Scottish.

00:26:47.000 And I was like, is it?

00:26:48.000 That's not true.

00:26:48.000 No, MC is Irish.

00:26:50.000 McNamara is my mother's maiden name, and they're all from Ireland.

00:26:53.000 Those Brits lied to you! 1.00

00:26:55.000 Those Brits lied to you. 0.98

00:26:56.000 Of course they did.

00:26:57.000 All right, well, let's talk about the next lie.

00:27:01.000 Oh boy.

00:27:01.000 We got the story from the New York Post.

00:27:03.000 Boston social justice activist and husband scammed at least $185,000 from donors, so saith the feds. 0.95

00:27:12.000 They're being hit with, I think it's 18 different charges, federal charges.

00:27:18.000 They say a high-profile social justice activist in Boston and her husband used a non-profit they founded to scam at least $185,000 from donors who included a Black Lives Matter chapter and the local DA's office, federal authorities allege Monica Cannon Grant and Clark Grant allegedly treated their violence in Boston organization as a personal piggy bank to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon, summer vacation trip to Maryland.

00:27:43.000 I heard that they were going to bubblegum shrimp.

00:27:45.000 That was one of the things that was heavily reported.

00:27:48.000 They're going to mention the following year she was named Best Social Justice Advocate by Boston Magazine and one of the Boston Globe's Bostonians of the Year.

00:27:58.000 When will people stop falling for this stuff?

00:28:00.000 Should we run through the list again?

00:28:01.000 Should we run through the list?

00:28:02.000 The Trayvon Martin story.

00:28:04.000 What was the initial report?

00:28:05.000 That a white guy saw a black kid and then attacked him and killed him, shot him.

00:28:10.000 What really happened?

00:28:11.000 Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman got into a fight.

00:28:14.000 Maybe Zimmerman was in the wrong for confronting him.

00:28:17.000 He was a neighborhood watch and Trayvon Martin was walking behind houses.

00:28:20.000 Trayvon Martin had him in a ground pound position where he was on top of him and pummeling him.

00:28:23.000 And then George Zimmerman shot him in the chest and killed him.

00:28:25.000 Zimmerman's Hispanic.

00:28:26.000 We also have Michael Brown.

00:28:27.000 Hands up, don't shoot.

00:28:28.000 That was a lie.

00:28:29.000 That was a total lie.

00:28:30.000 Also, remember the Trayvon case?

00:28:32.000 NBC actually deceptively edited the phone call in order to make it sound like Zimmerman was describing Trayvon Martin as being up to no good because he was quote-unquote black.

00:28:42.000 They asked him, what does he look like?

00:28:43.000 He says he looks like he's up to no good.

00:28:45.000 He's wearing a black hoodie, something along those lines, and they cut it together to say he looks like he's up to no good. 0.66

00:28:49.000 Black. 0.93

00:28:50.000 Well, the other thing is, the whole thing was a sham with Trayvon Martin.

00:28:53.000 The picture that you saw everywhere was him when he was like 11 or 12.

00:28:59.000 And he was much, much older and much, much bigger.

00:29:01.000 They made it out like George Zimmerman beat up a 12-year-old little punk kid.

00:29:06.000 And he was much older than that.

00:29:07.000 Jesse Smollett.

00:29:09.000 Lie.

00:29:09.000 Ahmaud Arbery story.

00:29:11.000 He was just jogging.

00:29:12.000 That was a lie.

00:29:13.000 It's just every single day there's a new lie and these people... Rittenhouse!

00:29:17.000 Yeah, the whole thing, the entire thing was that, oh, he crossed state lines and he shouldn't have that gun.

00:29:21.000 As soon as I saw the story, it was very obvious to me, and I think everyone who saw it, that this was a case of self-defense.

00:29:27.000 But then they started muddying the waters by saying he had broken gun laws or crossed state lines and maybe he was looking for trouble.

00:29:33.000 But not only could none of that be substantiated, I'm pretty sure they just made all of it up because it was so obvious that this kid was defending himself.

00:29:41.000 And then what ends up happening is people go, well, because they've muddied the waters, now we have to wait for more answers before we can really be sure and take a side, and the story loses momentum.

00:29:50.000 At a certain point, I just, you know, every few months I say something where I'm just like, It's all the same thing every day.

00:29:58.000 We wake up, we have a new story, because I've been talking about these stories and criticizing the hoaxes going on seven or so years now.

00:30:08.000 A little bit longer, but doing the actual YouTube stuff and the podcast stuff.

00:30:11.000 And at a certain point, I'm kind of just like, what's the point of saying it if it doesn't change anything?

00:30:16.000 No, no, no.

00:30:16.000 I think that's the wrong mentality.

00:30:18.000 I wouldn't lose hope.

00:30:19.000 There are a lot of people.

00:30:20.000 You're seeing the complete decentralization of how people get their information.

00:30:24.000 I was going through a lot of your episodes before coming on, and it's absolutely beautiful.

00:30:30.000 450,000 people, I mean, for the last few episodes watched your show.

00:30:35.000 That is beautiful.

00:30:36.000 Plus clips and live viewership isn't counted in that number.

00:30:39.000 Exactly.

00:30:40.000 And the thing is, What you're doing is exactly right.

00:30:44.000 You are giving so many people the information that they need and you don't

00:30:47.000 need to get a hundred percent of the people. You don't even need 50%.

00:30:50.000 You need a solid 10 to 25% of Americans that are getting solid information

00:30:55.000 because those are the people that are gonna go talk to their family and friends

00:30:57.000 and make sure that they know the information.

00:30:59.000 There's like 10 to 25% of Americans are just helpless.

00:31:03.000 They're zombies.

00:31:05.000 Then like there's this 50% in the middle that are actually persuadable.

00:31:08.000 And then there's like us, right?

00:31:09.000 Like that are on the front lines, activist types.

00:31:12.000 I think you're actually doing the Lord's work here and I wouldn't lose hope.

00:31:14.000 I think there's a lot to be optimistic about.

00:31:16.000 Maybe that's it.

00:31:16.000 Maybe, you know, what needs to happen is we're growing, we're building infrastructure, we're expanding, we're doing new shows, we're getting a new headquarters.

00:31:24.000 And then I guess what really happens is in 10 or 15 years, these cable networks won't exist anymore.

00:31:29.000 Exactly.

00:31:30.000 You wanna know what's crazy?

00:31:31.000 And this is no dig, I'm a big fan of It's Always Sunny, but I heard that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia had a new season out.

00:31:39.000 You guys have heard of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, right?

00:31:41.000 It's now the longest-running live-action comedy series, I guess.

00:31:44.000 So how many viewers do you think this show got?

00:31:49.000 Yeah, on their seventh season on average.

00:31:51.000 How many people watched one episode?

00:31:53.000 At the premiere?

00:31:54.000 Yeah, I'm not sure.

00:31:55.000 No, no, no, not the premiere.

00:31:55.000 Just like throughout the season on average.

00:31:57.000 How many people do you think watched an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

00:31:59.000 I'm going to pretend I'm not Googling it.

00:32:01.000 No, no, no.

00:32:03.000 Tell me what you think.

00:32:04.000 500,000.

00:32:04.000 Duck, duck, go.

00:32:05.000 So it was about, I think the premiere episode of season seven was like 2 million.

00:32:09.000 Wow.

00:32:10.000 And then they would get like 1.3 to 1.5 million per episode.

00:32:14.000 How many people do you think watch now?

00:32:19.000 50,000.

00:32:19.000 300.

00:32:20.000 300,000.

00:32:21.000 200 to 300,000 per episode.

00:32:22.000 I'm not digging on them.

00:32:23.000 I'm a fan.

00:32:23.000 I think It's Always Sunny is funny.

00:32:25.000 I don't really watch it for the most part.

00:32:27.000 I think what happens is, you know, we've launched a couple other shows.

00:32:30.000 We have the vlog.

00:32:31.000 We have Chicken City.

00:32:32.000 We have Pop Culture Crisis.

00:32:34.000 And I'm wondering if there's just cultural swings in terms of what people are interested in.

00:32:39.000 And sitcoms have just, you know, there's too many options.

00:32:43.000 So people are watching a bunch of different shows.

00:32:45.000 And also, You know, back when this show was at its peak, we didn't have this plethora of content and we didn't have this plethora of streaming services.

00:32:56.000 So what's happening is, it's not so much that people don't like the show, it's that over time, people start using technology and they start absorbing information in different ways.

00:33:04.000 So the reason I bring this up is that I think it's entirely possible and likely that within 10 or 15 years, CNN just has nothing and they're gone.

00:33:12.000 And then it doesn't matter that people believe them because there's nothing to believe anymore.

00:33:16.000 They don't exist.

00:33:17.000 However, ten years after that, this show will be outdated with limited viewership and people will be in the metaverse or who knows where.

00:33:24.000 It's all gonna be ShimCast, baby. 0.99

00:33:26.000 All ShimCast. 0.95

00:33:27.000 You plug your brain right into the Neuralink and then Shim speaks directly into your mind.

00:33:31.000 I think what's gonna end up happening too, unfortunately, and people are gonna have to be vigilant about this, is As you have mentioned, it's very easy to covertly fund people online, so I think there are going to be a lot of people who want to promote the establishment narrative who are going to be very well funded by people from within the establishment who traditionally would have just given their money to CNN or placed advertisements on their network.

00:33:52.000 You see it on YouTube, the favorite channels.

00:33:56.000 They're trying to prop up CNN so much to perpetuate all these lies.

00:34:00.000 Are you guys familiar with Defiant Ls?

00:34:03.000 Yes.

00:34:04.000 I think it was Defiant Ls who had this.

00:34:06.000 So what they do is they show a tweet from someone and then they show a follow-up, which is like failure.

00:34:12.000 And it was like Brian Stelter talking about, you know, we can't just trust the cops on this Jussie Smollett thing.

00:34:17.000 You know, we got to hear it out.

00:34:18.000 And the next one is like Jussie Smollett's sentence to 100 days in jail for hate crime folks.

00:34:22.000 And it's just like, yeah, you know, you shouldn't be listening to people who are... I'll tell you this, I can give him credit for being a bit skeptical, for sure, but it's like, at some point, you kind of just say, like, we know, or we should err on the side of that was BS.

00:34:37.000 Yeah, well, the skepticism only ever runs in one direction.

00:34:40.000 Every single time we hear an accusation of racial hatred, we're told if we don't buy into it, hook, line, and sinker, it's because we actually just hate black people and not that we want more evidence before we jump to a conclusion.

00:34:50.000 Yeah.

00:34:51.000 But when it runs in the other direction, when it's a BLM activist or Jussie Smollett hoaxing or doing something illegal or corrupt, well then we need to stop and wait for the evidence and make sure that we have all the facts straight before we comment.

00:35:03.000 I can think of one time there was a mass campaign with racist vandalism.

00:35:09.000 It was carried out by a bunch of young white men. 0.73

00:35:11.000 It was when those white supremacists put up those flyers everywhere saying it's okay to be white. 0.92

00:35:15.000 That's right. 0.92

00:35:15.000 Yeah. 0.92

00:35:16.000 Yeah.

00:35:16.000 Which it is not.

00:35:17.000 It is not.

00:35:18.000 Yeah.

00:35:18.000 It is not.

00:35:19.000 Disavow.

00:35:20.000 Disavow.

00:35:21.000 Apparently that's the message they're sending.

00:35:23.000 It was brilliant trolling, you know?

00:35:25.000 So, you know, for those unfamiliar, I think most people know this.

00:35:28.000 It was a white sheet of paper and it just said, it's okay to be white. 0.71

00:35:31.000 And people would put the sticker on a pole and they'd be like, you're a white supremacist. 0.85

00:35:34.000 And they're like, that's crazy.

00:35:36.000 This is an interesting discussion I had with some of my friends, and I just want to ask you guys, do you identify as white?

00:35:43.000 Me?

00:35:43.000 I don't.

00:35:44.000 But everybody knows I'm... Yeah, I'm more Catholic than anything.

00:35:49.000 But actually, everybody knows the meme that I have second-generation mixed-race family, so we don't have that.

00:35:53.000 That's like...

00:35:54.000 Yeah.

00:35:54.000 I guess there are people that are, but the idea is, it's interesting, the left says,

00:35:59.000 see the reason you don't is because you live in a world full of white people, so you're 0.63

00:36:03.000 a default.

00:36:04.000 Why would you identify with what everyone else is?

00:36:06.000 But this is the problem with that analysis.

00:36:09.000 Firstly, it's entirely uncritical.

00:36:11.000 It's not actually looking at specific ethnic backgrounds.

00:36:14.000 So Irish people and other ethnicities, which were generally more Catholic, as a matter of fact, such as the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, were not considered white, even though we had white skin.

00:36:25.000 So I see whiteness, quote unquote, as an identity, which has often been used to exclude Catholics.

00:36:31.000 Well, that's not something I identify with.

00:36:32.000 That's partially what the left critical race theorists argue.

00:36:35.000 That whiteness is a political term and always has been, because there were white people who weren't white, and they actually argue now, Eastern Europeans aren't white.

00:36:42.000 Like, Luke Rutkowski, blonde hair, blue eyes, they say is a person of color.

00:36:45.000 Is not white.

00:36:46.000 Well, here's the issue.

00:36:48.000 In the United States, we have a very unique racial history as a result of slavery.

00:36:52.000 Black people, unfortunately, lost a lot of their ethnic identity because they were brought over here forcibly and were not able to retain the information on what part of Africa they came from specifically.

00:37:02.000 And I think that's become rejected onto people who we call white now, even though they would have considered themselves Irish, Polish, Italian, Dutch when they came over here.

00:37:10.000 They're thrown into an analogous category of white, even though they're more or less Identifying or had identified until much more recently with their ethnic identity rather than their racial identity Yeah, this is exactly what but this is this is one of the arguments from the left that the reason why you know There's no issue with black pride or power is because they don't have an ethnic identity. 0.73

00:37:32.000 They have a racial identity because of what you just described Yeah, whereas for a white person you could say you're proud of being Irish or Scottish or Ukrainian, but not white Yeah, but there's this kind of Mountain Valley fallacy, which they engage in, where they will try to say things like, we're only against white privilege in a system that places you on a pedestal simply because of your skin color.

00:37:51.000 We're not actually talking about your skin color specifically.

00:37:53.000 But then, how do they identify you?

00:37:55.000 Well, by your skin color, and they'll go after you and say you're bad because you're white.

00:37:58.000 So, even though I don't identify as white.

00:38:01.000 You want to talk about white privilege?

00:38:02.000 Justice Millette.

00:38:03.000 If whiteness is political, then a millionaire celebrity Who is propped up by the media and defended when he commits a hoax, and then still has activists getting his back. 0.62

00:38:15.000 Now that's some kind of privilege.

00:38:18.000 And at what point, if whiteness is political, at what point would black people become politically white? 0.59

00:38:23.000 It's a serious question.

00:38:24.000 No, it's a good question. 0.83

00:38:24.000 Well, I mean, they will call black conservative activists white supremacists. 0.83

00:38:28.000 Right, right. 0.98

00:38:29.000 I mean, literally, white just means bad, and black means good. 0.72

00:38:33.000 That's how they use these terms.

00:38:36.000 Yeah, no, and then you have the other thing where, like, they're redefining all these terms.

00:38:40.000 Like, the ADL came out and defined racism, right, as the support of systemic racism.

00:38:49.000 Like, they use the same words to define it, which is always a really bad sign.

00:38:52.000 Yes.

00:38:52.000 But basically, the only way you can be anti-racist or against racism is to support Marxism.

00:38:58.000 Yep, 100%.

00:38:59.000 That's part of the plan.

00:39:01.000 The ADL changed the definition of racism to be about something like racial dominance or something like that and then had to change it again like a week later and apologize because something happened in a Jewish community and they were like, oh, maybe we should have thought about what we were claiming because people started saying you couldn't be racist against Jewish people or something like that and then all of a sudden the ADL was like, we better revert our definition.

00:39:24.000 They should talk to Whoopi Goldberg.

00:39:26.000 Oh my gosh.

00:39:27.000 That whole Whoopi Goldberg scandal got just memory holes.

00:39:30.000 knows all. Apparently they used to arrest people like Tucker Carlson and Tulsi

00:39:33.000 Gabbard for, you know, pushing propaganda, which is not true.

00:39:37.000 That whole Whoopi Goldberg scandal got just memory holes.

00:39:41.000 Like it's like it never even happened. Oh right.

00:39:44.000 That's what it was, right?

00:39:45.000 The ADL, that's what happened.

00:39:46.000 She came out, that was amazing.

00:39:48.000 She said, that wasn't racist, that was just white people, you know, with white people.

00:39:51.000 And then the ADL realized, like, hmm, this whiteness definition of racism is really backfiring on, you know, like, the Jewish community.

00:40:01.000 Yep.

00:40:01.000 Maybe they shouldn't have tried playing the woke game and then they realized they had to change it back.

00:40:05.000 By the way, I can't, I saw a hysterical tweet, someone called them the ADL, the Anti-Definition League.

00:40:11.000 Oh yeah, it was fantastic.

00:40:12.000 I thought that was fantastic.

00:40:14.000 Very clever.

00:40:15.000 Yeah, but I'll also say too, it's always funny when people will define racism as systemic racism specifically,

00:40:22.000 because A, I mean you lose the ability to analyze racism at the level of individual behavior,

00:40:28.000 rather than just looking at it systemically.

00:40:30.000 But on top of that, you mentioned using definitions, or using the actual word you're defining within the definition.

00:40:36.000 This is the first thing you are taught in any etymology class.

00:40:42.000 I just wonder if... If you want to define a word, you cannot use that word in the definition.

00:40:46.000 Exactly.

00:40:46.000 So I don't know if... I don't know if I mentioned this on the show about the black card revoked.

00:40:51.000 We talked about that, right?

00:40:52.000 Maybe.

00:40:52.000 The black card revoked.

00:40:54.000 We went to... I think we were in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

00:40:59.000 Was it Altoona?

00:41:00.000 Maybe not.

00:41:01.000 Yeah, I think it was.

00:41:02.000 I don't know.

00:41:02.000 Anyway, we're at an Airbnb, and they had a bunch of board games.

00:41:06.000 They had a pack of cards, and it was called Black Card Revoked.

00:41:09.000 Huh.

00:41:10.000 Yeah, we talked about this with Gothics. 1.00

00:41:11.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:12.000 Oh, that's right, that's right.

00:41:13.000 It was a card game that was supposed to be, you know, it was for black people to play, and it was about black culture, and it asked questions like, what movie does every black person have in their collection?

00:41:23.000 And I thought it was racist and I'm like, man, I, but a far be it for me.

00:41:27.000 And it was, it was made and marketed by, you know, black people for black people.

00:41:30.000 So there you go, I guess.

00:41:32.000 I don't know if it's racist or not, if these things are held by, you know, to be true by them.

00:41:36.000 But one of the questions was if quote unquote, they give reparations, what should they give?

00:41:43.000 And I was like, why is they in quotes?

00:41:46.000 That's weird.

00:41:47.000 quotes is a reference to Jewish people. Because when you're referring to authorities of any power 0.80

00:41:53.000 you just say they or them. When it's put in quotes it's a specific reference to Jewish people. And so

00:41:58.000 I saw that and I was like that's kind of weird. And look I don't know I think maybe the people

00:42:04.000 who made this game are anti-Semites.

00:42:06.000 It's possible because they have ties to high-profile politicians.

00:42:10.000 We're looking at that story.

00:42:11.000 Maybe there's something there.

00:42:12.000 I don't know.

00:42:13.000 But we know that there's a lot of prominent Black Lives Matter activists that are deeply anti-Semitic.

00:42:17.000 We saw this with the Women's March. 0.99

00:42:18.000 These individuals were forced to resign because they were pushing insane conspiracy theories about the Jewish people.

00:42:24.000 Yeah, well, look, if you tell people that any time a group of people is successful, it's because they're stealing something from you, they're going to look at every successful group of people and say they're stealing something from us.

00:42:32.000 I don't know why anyone thought that that would start and end with white people. 0.68

00:42:35.000 Yeah.

00:42:36.000 Yeah, that's why I can't stand the, uh, just, like, the general anti-Semitic, like... So, anti-Semitism in general is annoying to me because it's the same CRT argument.

00:42:47.000 A privileged group of people dominate.

00:42:49.000 I'm like, get out of here, dude.

00:42:51.000 Like, any...

00:42:52.000 Look, I know there are CEOs of big companies and in media who are not of a particular ethnic background.

00:42:58.000 It can be anybody who works hard and succeeds.

00:43:00.000 It's weird that people are like, I noticed there's a whole lot of one group of people in this industry that proves it.

00:43:04.000 And I'm like, dude, that's a privilege argument. 0.98

00:43:07.000 That's a ridiculous argument. 0.90

00:43:09.000 I'm not playing that game. 0.89

00:43:09.000 Well, and if you know, I have friends who are Orthodox Jews, and the reason that they have influence and that they are successful is because they have such a strong community. 0.89

00:43:22.000 Family?

00:43:23.000 It's family.

00:43:24.000 It's their friends.

00:43:26.000 They are so tight-knit.

00:43:27.000 They help pay for each other's kids' tuition at school.

00:43:33.000 I wish that Catholics had a community similar to that because it's so strong and it's admirable, really.

00:43:40.000 I would get in there, honestly, though.

00:43:41.000 I'm seeing it in a lot of places with Catholics.

00:43:45.000 The annoying thing to me about antisemitism, be it from BLM or from white supremacist groups or whatever, It's like, right now in New York, we've had this ongoing problem where Hasidic Jews are being chased down and brutally beaten.

00:43:56.000 And I'm just like, where is the great power structure to intervene and tell the police to actually deal with this hate that's happening on the streets?

00:44:04.000 But they don't.

00:44:05.000 Why?

00:44:05.000 Because the people who run New York Also are deeply anti-semitic.

00:44:09.000 Right.

00:44:10.000 So I mean, it's like, you know, it's not Bill de Blasio anymore, but that dude is a far leftist who probably held all of these same insane beliefs.

00:44:17.000 And so this idea that one group has privilege over the others.

00:44:21.000 Yeah, sometimes some groups do, but I think the real issue is merit.

00:44:25.000 Merit, drive, and a little bit of luck sprinkled on top.

00:44:29.000 Chance favors the prepared.

00:44:30.000 But for the most part, if you are smart and you work really, really hard, you'll become successful.

00:44:35.000 But ultimately, we've talked about this before when it comes to why you see a high propensity of successful Jewish individuals.

00:44:42.000 Could it be family?

00:44:43.000 We know that family is a key indicator of success, regardless of your religious background.

00:44:48.000 As you were saying with the Catholics and... Well, no, but family is everything, right? 0.99

00:44:53.000 Like Lydia and I were talking about this before the show.

00:44:55.000 Family is why you get a job.

00:44:57.000 Family is why you go to work.

00:44:59.000 Family is why you love your country and why you go to war and you're willing to die in it so that your kids and your grandkids can have a good life.

00:45:05.000 Like, family drives everything.

00:45:07.000 And like, it's like the social science on this is so boring because it's so predictable, right?

00:45:12.000 Like kids raised in a loving household with parents that take them to church on Sunday.

00:45:16.000 are always the best-performing group.

00:45:19.000 They commit less crime, they don't commit suicide, they don't get addicted to drugs.

00:45:22.000 It's all very boring, and it's all basic.

00:45:25.000 And, you know, the Jewish community has, like, really figured that out.

00:45:29.000 Are you familiar with the Blue Zones?

00:45:32.000 No.

00:45:32.000 It's where there's, like, seven areas of the planet where people have a life expectancy that exceeds 100, or where there's, like, the highest propensity towards having people live over 100.

00:45:44.000 And so some researchers went to these areas to figure out what do they have in common that may contribute to people living to be over 100.

00:45:51.000 And there's some interesting things like they eat only till they're about 85% full.

00:45:58.000 They don't overeat.

00:45:59.000 But one of the most interesting things is they all have a job.

00:46:03.000 So they talked to this one, he's a Japanese guy, and he's like 102, and he's chopping wood.

00:46:08.000 And they're like, why are you doing this?

00:46:10.000 Shouldn't you be relaxing and be retired?

00:46:12.000 And he's like, well, if I don't do it, who will?

00:46:15.000 Someone's got to get the wood, and it was for his community and for his family.

00:46:18.000 Community and family was another big part of it.

00:46:20.000 They're very close-knit and tight-knit families and communities.

00:46:23.000 And the reason he had to chop the wood was because he needed to make sure everybody had this available, and if he didn't, no one else would.

00:46:29.000 I was also reading that The biggest spike in when deaths occur is right after retirement.

00:46:35.000 So I think people need to understand how important purpose is in a human's life.

00:46:41.000 Without purpose, people become dejected, depressed, and violent, like we see with so many young people these days. 1.00

00:46:47.000 And with purpose, we see a lot of people living to be over 100 years old.

00:46:51.000 Yep, that's right.

00:46:51.000 And actually, there's a lot of studies that have come out over the last few decades that show the benefits of not just having children for your mental health down the road, but super old people, when they're around their grandkids a lot, their cognitive ability, they can reverse parts of dementia.

00:47:13.000 and erosion in the brain.

00:47:14.000 It's really cool stuff and I think you're right.

00:47:17.000 It's about duty, it's about responsibility, it's about purpose, because when you lose that,

00:47:22.000 like so many people when they retire, my great-grandmother lived to be 95 0.99

00:47:26.000 and she didn't really start to fall apart until she got out of her daily routine.

00:47:32.000 She used to go to the library.

00:47:35.000 She went to two Goodwill stores, the thrift store and the Goodwill.

00:47:40.000 She went to all the grocery stores, clipped coupons.

00:47:42.000 As soon as she stopped doing that, she just kind of fell apart.

00:47:45.000 Think about it from an evolutionary perspective.

00:47:47.000 You've got a finite amount of energy in a certain area and resources for a life form, be it human or otherwise.

00:47:55.000 And so What happens if there is a group of people or a group of animals and several of them stop producing for the rest of their herd?

00:48:07.000 It's a strain on the herd.

00:48:09.000 And so then what happens is the old, you know, it stands to reason that Life evolves duty and purpose because those who have a sense of duty and purpose to each other are more likely to survive, more likely to have kids, and thus those traits are carried on into the future with us.

00:48:26.000 Thus, family and community are extremely important.

00:48:29.000 The other interesting thing, too, is I think purpose.

00:48:31.000 You have to have a reason to do things to be alive.

00:48:34.000 Otherwise, We're facing the rat utopia experiment in my opinion.

00:48:40.000 Are you familiar?

00:48:40.000 We've mentioned it several times recently.

00:48:43.000 This is where they put a bunch of rats in a, you know, unlimited food, unlimited water, but finite space.

00:48:48.000 What happens when you don't have to fight for food?

00:48:50.000 What happens when you don't have to do any work?

00:48:52.000 You get lazy.

00:48:53.000 It's not just that.

00:48:54.000 They found what they called behavioral sync.

00:48:57.000 Behaviors started to break down.

00:48:59.000 Cannibalism emerged.

00:49:00.000 Some rats would just groom themselves incessantly and never do anything.

00:49:05.000 They would engage in strange behaviors.

00:49:07.000 And if they took one of the rats out of the utopia and put it with a regular population, its ideas would persist and spread.

00:49:13.000 So without purpose and without struggle, humans become likely, in my opinion, will become broken, you know, and unhealthy.

00:49:22.000 Yeah.

00:49:23.000 Things fall apart.

00:49:23.000 And I would say, I mean, even beyond the sort of more materialistic Darwinian analysis, we can just say that human beings have deep spiritual needs.

00:49:30.000 There's something about us that's very mysterious and difficult to understand.

00:49:33.000 And when we're not contributing to something that we understand is greater than ourselves, we do start to fall apart.

00:49:38.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:49:40.000 You need that drive.

00:49:43.000 We've looked into this actually a lot on the economic side of things.

00:49:47.000 And the funny thing is, you would think that having kids and getting married would put you further back in terms of how much money you're making.

00:49:56.000 It's actually not true.

00:49:57.000 And there's this weird thing, a lot of experts think that when you have children, it's actually a bigger motivator to get a better job.

00:50:06.000 Invest more in your business so you can provide better.

00:50:08.000 But it's overall, when you have to struggle, you have to cut the fat.

00:50:14.000 You have to become more efficient.

00:50:16.000 And it just keeps you on your toes.

00:50:19.000 Family, I think, helps drive that.

00:50:21.000 Community helps drive that.

00:50:22.000 For a lot of people, they have no purpose.

00:50:23.000 And I think if you look at the millennial generation, I wonder what it could be.

00:50:27.000 Well, there's two things.

00:50:28.000 No religion. 0.92

00:50:29.000 No kids.

00:50:30.000 So then, what do they live for?

00:50:32.000 For people who, a long time ago, I'm not saying this to say that people should be religious, but certainly without religion, we can see people become listless.

00:50:42.000 We used to have, you know, people had faith.

00:50:44.000 They had community.

00:50:46.000 Religion served several purposes.

00:50:47.000 You would go to church, and that meant you were with your community, you were communicating with each other, you were sort of synchronizing a lot of ways.

00:50:54.000 It was a chance for the people who lived next to each other to talk about what was affecting them.

00:50:58.000 So that was important.

00:50:59.000 We don't have that anymore.

00:51:01.000 People don't even talk to their neighbors anymore.

00:51:03.000 It's really weird.

00:51:04.000 It is.

00:51:04.000 When I was growing up, I was always with my neighbors.

00:51:09.000 They all went to different churches, right?

00:51:11.000 I mean, some of my friends went to the same church as me, but we had a neighborhood gang.

00:51:15.000 We would literally ride our bikes around.

00:51:17.000 We built forts.

00:51:19.000 We knew all the other neighbors, even if they didn't have kids, and they would talk to us and hang out.

00:51:23.000 Parties.

00:51:24.000 Yeah.

00:51:24.000 Block parties, barbecues.

00:51:25.000 Yeah.

00:51:25.000 And that doesn't happen anymore.

00:51:27.000 Especially in New York, man.

00:51:29.000 You go to New York and you live on top of somebody and you never met them.

00:51:31.000 That's the weirdest thing to me.

00:51:33.000 Yeah.

00:51:33.000 Every apartment I've ever had, you know, I'm in New York City.

00:51:36.000 I was living off of, um, Myrtle and Nostrand.

00:51:39.000 And there's, uh, there were people my age behind me, below me and above me.

00:51:42.000 And it's like, why don't I know who they are?

00:51:44.000 We could probably play Xbox together and order pizza.

00:51:47.000 If I just talk to the, talk to the guy.

00:51:49.000 Never did.

00:51:50.000 Yeah.

00:51:50.000 Just never happens.

00:51:51.000 Yeah, in a very strange way, the internet has actually alienated us from our own actual location.

00:51:56.000 There's been something wonderful about the fact that it's given us access to people who are nowhere near us, but you stop forming social connections with the people who are right next to you.

00:52:06.000 Yeah.

00:52:07.000 Let's talk about some more media lies and family and all that stuff.

00:52:09.000 We got the story from Politico.

00:52:11.000 Americans split over Florida's controversial bills on gender identity and race.

00:52:17.000 So controversial.

00:52:18.000 Let me just slow down here and correct the article before we even get into it.

00:52:20.000 They're of course referring to the Parental Rights and Education Bill, which the Democrats call Don't Say Gay, which is a lie.

00:52:25.000 It's weird.

00:52:26.000 It is a controversial fine, I guess, but it is not a bill on gender identity and race.

00:52:31.000 That seems strange to me.

00:52:33.000 The bulk of the bill in Florida, as we often clarify, is parents have a right to know what's happening.

00:52:38.000 Yep.

00:52:38.000 That and no sex ed for preschoolers to third grade.

00:52:41.000 Five, six, seven, eight years old.

00:52:44.000 That's it.

00:52:44.000 Teachers are still allowed to talk to kids and say the word gay to their faces.

00:52:48.000 A teacher can still go up to a child and say, you should be gay.

00:52:51.000 That is not being banned in any way.

00:52:53.000 Makes you wonder about what the Republicans are actually doing.

00:52:55.000 Bill doesn't even nearly go far enough.

00:52:57.000 So, here we go.

00:52:57.000 I love this.

00:52:58.000 Politico says, Now here's the funny thing.

00:53:06.000 In their actual poll, the question refers to it as, don't say gay.

00:53:10.000 And I'm like, that is not proper polling. 0.97

00:53:13.000 Dishonest.

00:53:14.000 But you're still seeing the majority I really don't like how they're framing it as Americans being sharply divided on this issue.

00:53:23.000 I mean, there's a 16 point gap there.

00:53:25.000 there. And you got 30, this is an issue where 33% of Democrats support what DeSantis did.

00:53:32.000 Yeah. That's not sharply divided.

00:53:35.000 I'm sorry, like, when you're over 50% and your opponents are at 35%, imagine if Donald Trump had beaten Joe Biden by, you know, 51% to 35%.

00:53:44.000 That's a landslide, right?

00:53:47.000 Like, so it's just the whole thing is skewed, the questions are skewed, but they had to at least admit it, that they were, that they're not.

00:53:56.000 One of the crazy things is that 69% of Americans support the banning of Sputnik and RT, it appears.

00:54:03.000 I mean that's kind of crazy to me. You should just watch that stuff knowing it's probably bunk, but

00:54:09.000 see what they're telling people for sure. But I'm gonna try, I'm gonna see if I can find the uh the

00:54:13.000 exact exact question here because it's funny the political poll question is not just a here we go

00:54:19.000 instead of saying uh do you support the parental rights and education bill out of Florida?

00:54:25.000 They say this.

00:54:27.000 As you may know, the Florida Legislature has passed a bill, labeled by opponents as the Don't Say Gay Bill, limiting the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity to Florida school students.

00:54:35.000 Some say that limiting these discussions will protect children from inappropriate classroom topics, while others say it will block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.

00:54:43.000 To what extent do you support or oppose the following items in the bill?

00:54:46.000 Banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade, Strong support is 37%, somewhat support is 13, and then

00:54:55.000 somewhat opposes 11, strongly oppose 23.

00:54:58.000 Weirdo.

00:54:59.000 Clearly see the majority there is in favor of, in support of it.

00:55:03.000 They then go on to ask the basic same, basically the same question and then say,

00:55:06.000 limiting lessons on orientation and identity after third grade to age appropriate discussions,

00:55:10.000 and you still have the majority, 32% in support of, 20% somewhat supporting.

00:55:18.000 So you still have the majority there being like, yeah, it should be age appropriate.

00:55:22.000 My question is, what would the percentage have been if they didn't frame this in favor of lies from the Democrats on the left?

00:55:30.000 They tell you what the opponents of the bill call it, but not the actual name and the question.

00:55:36.000 How much more bias can you get with it?

00:55:38.000 And they push the lie from the Democrats instead of telling you what the bill actually does.

00:55:43.000 They say, opponents say it will block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.

00:55:48.000 That's irrelevant.

00:55:49.000 What if they said this?

00:55:50.000 Let me read you the question, reframed.

00:55:53.000 As you may know, the Florida Legislature has passed a bill, labeled by opponents as the Don't Say Straight Bill, limiting the teaching of orientation and identity to Florida school students.

00:56:03.000 Some say that limiting these discussions will protect children from inappropriate classroom topics, while others say it will block important conversations about traditional marriage issues.

00:56:11.000 To what extent do you support or oppose the following items in the bill?

00:56:15.000 There's no difference in the bill.

00:56:17.000 I could literally call it, don't say straight, and say Republicans have just banned teaching children about traditional marriage.

00:56:23.000 It's true.

00:56:24.000 Literally true.

00:56:25.000 But see, Politico comes out and they poll people.

00:56:27.000 Now, here's why I bring this up.

00:56:29.000 Even though they falsely framed the story based on lies, the majority still agree with it.

00:56:35.000 Yeah.

00:56:37.000 It's weird.

00:56:37.000 There's like a super majority of Americans, and I know this is pretty radical, that the vast majority of Americans, they don't want to sexualize kids.

00:56:46.000 They want to let them be kids.

00:56:48.000 Why do we have to make everything sexual?

00:56:52.000 Someone tweeted at me today.

00:56:53.000 They said, not everything has to be gay.

00:56:55.000 And I think that that's right.

00:56:57.000 Great.

00:56:58.000 You do you.

00:56:59.000 Live your life.

00:57:00.000 Fine.

00:57:01.000 But not everything has to be about you.

00:57:03.000 I remember back, there was a cartoon made by this guy.

00:57:08.000 It was on Reddit.

00:57:09.000 I can't remember his name.

00:57:10.000 He deleted it.

00:57:11.000 It was about atheism on Reddit.

00:57:12.000 Reddit, when it first started, one of the default subreddits getting a ton of attention was r slash atheism.

00:57:19.000 That meant if you were a random regular person and went to Reddit, you would see posts from people about being atheists.

00:57:25.000 So he made this cartoon where he basically mocked the idea because Reddit propped up a community that was just ragging on people for what they believed.

00:57:33.000 And it's like, why, you know, why is that a thing?

00:57:36.000 Why is that the default position?

00:57:38.000 Why, you know, I kind of forgot where I was going with that.

00:57:41.000 But ultimately what ends up happening is the dude deleted the cartoon and you can't find it anywhere anymore.

00:57:47.000 I mean, maybe it's been archived somewhere, but it was actually, I thought it was a great point.

00:57:50.000 Because the cartoon ends by saying, like, why is this a default subreddit to just, you know... Be on everyone's feed.

00:57:57.000 Yeah, like why just, you know, be mean to people all the time?

00:58:00.000 Why just prop that up?

00:58:02.000 I lost my train of thought with my point, so you guys just start talking.

00:58:05.000 Well, the big thing here is this stuff really is happening across the country.

00:58:10.000 We did this video last week basically saying thank you to Governor DeSantis for protecting our kids from women like this in our kids' public schools. 1.00

00:58:21.000 And it's this woman who started this sexy summer camp. 1.00

00:58:25.000 And she's talking about, um, she's talking about how she's like, I encourage every kid, kids of all ages, all ages to, you know, basically abuse themselves.

00:58:37.000 And she starts talking about how her nephews who started abusing themselves when they were toddlers, like going into this and it's like, guys, this is happening.

00:58:45.000 Like there's a core, a coordinated effort to sexualize your kids and like break them.

00:58:50.000 And so thank God, you know, I remember my point now.

00:58:53.000 Basically, I brought that up because what the community was doing was making a whole bunch of people who didn't know a whole lot about religion just blindly be part of this hate mob against Christianity, but nothing else.

00:59:05.000 And so, when you look at what's happening after the Don't Say Gay or whatever, there's a TikTok video where a guy is wearing a shirt with pride flags on it, and it's like, why do that?

00:59:16.000 What do you think is happening?

00:59:18.000 They don't look at the news.

00:59:19.000 They don't read the bill.

00:59:20.000 They have no idea.

00:59:22.000 So it's not just about the atheism community on Reddit or anything like that.

00:59:25.000 It's about the fact that there is some truth to out of sight, out of mind is literally true.

00:59:32.000 If you can control what people see from the bulk of their social media, you are controlling what they will complain about.

00:59:38.000 So, what do we get on Twitter?

00:59:40.000 People are talking about COVID, and then one day, like a switch was flicked, it's Ukraine. 0.94

00:59:44.000 Because they want to make sure the only thing you see is these stories and this information.

00:59:49.000 This is why the Democrats called it Don't Say Gay.

00:59:51.000 They want to make the argument, and then even Ben Shapiro walks into that trap.

00:59:55.000 Ben Shapiro tweeted to Ted Lieu, this bill stops you from indoctrinating kids with your weird gender ideology or whatever, something that affects. 0.89

01:00:03.000 And I'm like, no, it doesn't.

01:00:04.000 It literally does not do that.

01:00:06.000 The Democrats made up a lie.

01:00:07.000 They claimed, here's the framing of the bill.

01:00:09.000 Conservatives walked into it and said, well, actually, that framing of the bill is a good thing.

01:00:14.000 And it's like both of you are talking about something totally irrelevant to what's going on.

01:00:18.000 But this is the game.

01:00:20.000 Media will often frame things... I'll put it this way as well.

01:00:23.000 I'll say this.

01:00:24.000 Politico doing a poll where they give you a paragraph breaking down an issue is a total violation of polling ethics in my opinion.

01:00:32.000 They should say this.

01:00:34.000 How do you feel about the parental rights and education bill out of Florida?

01:00:38.000 Strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose, somewhat oppose, don't know, or no opinion.

01:00:43.000 And guess what would happen?

01:00:44.000 Don't know would be 80%.

01:00:45.000 Exactly.

01:00:46.000 And hey, that would be funny, wouldn't it?

01:00:48.000 Yep.

01:00:49.000 Instead, the funny thing is, they still try and frame it in favor of the left's argument, and the majority of people actually still support the bill.

01:00:56.000 Yep, yep.

01:00:56.000 It's really, it's gotta be depressing for them.

01:00:59.000 No, I mean, think about all the levers of cultural influence that the left has here, right?

01:01:04.000 Like, they've got the mainstream media, they've got Hollywood, they've got the music industry, corporate America, big tech, like, everything!

01:01:11.000 Like, they control so many sources of information, and they still can't win on something like this.

01:01:16.000 Well, I think maybe their power is faltering.

01:01:20.000 You know, less and less people are interested in the lies.

01:01:22.000 The lies have become more and more obvious.

01:01:24.000 I think of it like they say that wealth lasts three generations.

01:01:29.000 Someone works really, really hard and builds a big business, becomes a billionaire.

01:01:32.000 Their son or daughter inherits it and then takes the company over and maintains it.

01:01:36.000 They have kids.

01:01:38.000 So what happens is You know, the child of the entrepreneur was still taught the values of hard work, but was not someone who founded a company and could maintain that.

01:01:49.000 Then they have kids who are taught to a certain degree the value of hard work, but certainly not how to start a company or even to maintain it.

01:01:55.000 So by the third generation you see wealth start to fizzle out.

01:01:59.000 I think of it similarly in terms to how the Democrats have institutional control and how the media is playing.

01:02:04.000 It seems like, you know, two generations ago, media was strongly controlled by savvy marketers who were like keen on manipulating.

01:02:13.000 Then their kids inherit it and they're like, keep the system up, keep it rolling, you know, CNN or whatever.

01:02:18.000 Now we're on the third generation who are just like, I have no idea what's going on.

01:02:22.000 And so they try doing the most outrageous and garbage propaganda that doesn't work and we're waking up to it.

01:02:26.000 Yeah. 0.95

01:02:27.000 Well, it's interesting because one theme that has repeatedly come up as we've discussed the quote unquote, don't say gay bill is that if you're going to refer to it as an anti-grooming bill, it does, which would be great.

01:02:36.000 It doesn't go nearly far enough.

01:02:39.000 And the left hears that young children below a certain age are not going to be discussing sexuality in the classroom when it would be wildly inappropriate.

01:02:46.000 And they go, oh my goodness, but what about gay people?

01:02:49.000 How are we going to protect them?

01:02:50.000 Instead of saying, look, this is a bill that is specifically set up to protect children from inappropriate discussions and also to ensure that parents are notified by certain things that the school district might otherwise try to keep from them, even though they have a right to know as parents.

01:03:01.000 And all the left can think about is what about protecting the poor sweet gays? 0.99

01:03:05.000 That's literally it.

01:03:07.000 And that's why I think it's better to call it the Don't Say Straight Bill. 0.90

01:03:11.000 And I am outraged!

01:03:13.000 These Republicans are banning discussions on traditional marriage!

01:03:17.000 I agree with the Democrats.

01:03:19.000 We should come together and say we should be allowed to teach kids about traditional marriage.

01:03:22.000 We should.

01:03:23.000 That should actually be the standard, right?

01:03:25.000 Like, I mean, this is the truth.

01:03:27.000 This is what you should be shooting for.

01:03:30.000 I still have no problem with being like, we're not going to talk to preschoolers or third graders about, you know... About sexuality?

01:03:35.000 Well, this is the bizarre thing, right?

01:03:37.000 Imagine thinking you're going to get public opinion on your side.

01:03:41.000 trying to fight a bill that says you can't talk to children below a certain age about sexuality with

01:03:46.000 but then gay people won't be able to tell children about their sexuality when they're in preschool

01:03:52.000 who like what world do they live in that they think the average person is going to hear that and go

01:03:55.000 oh no oh my goodness. Seamus according to this poll at least we have around 34 percent of people

01:04:04.000 who don't like that so you've got a third It's true.

01:04:08.000 If we were to extrapolate the data, who are hearing this from Politico, probably for the first time, and saying, four-year-olds should be taught these things.

01:04:18.000 You know, I thank goodness that I don't know anyone who would be in support of that, virtually.

01:04:22.000 I mean, maybe I do know some people who are lefty, so I made friends with when I was younger, who, if I ask them about this in Reconnected, might say they support it, but... There's zombies.

01:04:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:04:30.000 Those are people I really want to have conversations with.

01:04:32.000 That's disgusting.

01:04:33.000 I have a lot of friends from back during Occupy, I have a lot of, you know, that I talk to, and they don't know what's in the bill.

01:04:40.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:04:41.000 This is dangerous!

01:04:43.000 You know, we have political zombification in this country.

01:04:48.000 We have a horde, tens of millions of political zombies, and they are tearing away at our system.

01:04:54.000 No, no, no.

01:04:55.000 That's right.

01:04:55.000 But here's where Donald Trump was a huge benefit to the movement, is that he showed us basically how to fight back.

01:05:04.000 And that you could actually call out the BS and the lies and end up winning these political battles.

01:05:10.000 And now you're seeing that being transferred to DeSantis.

01:05:14.000 And DeSantis is calling it out.

01:05:15.000 That press conference he had was really beautiful.

01:05:18.000 And I know another example of this, and he's not the greatest example, but it is Greg Abbott with what he did with that executive order.

01:05:24.000 Now agree or disagree on what he should have done with that executive order.

01:05:27.000 Which one?

01:05:28.000 The one declaring gender modifications for minors to be child abuse, right? 0.85

01:05:32.000 So, there are some disagreements on that, but guess what?

01:05:36.000 He trolled the entire national news media into saying and letting Americans know that this is happening, gender modification for children are happening, and by the way, Republicans think it's child abuse.

01:05:46.000 Something that like 80% of Americans actually agree on.

01:05:48.000 We polled on this, and even like 60% of Democrats want to ban this stuff from my show.

01:05:53.000 Absolutely.

01:05:53.000 I mean, I think the issue with your average Democrat who votes Democrat is they don't know anything about what's going on.

01:06:00.000 Exactly.

01:06:01.000 Yeah.

01:06:01.000 So how you, you know, we've got this battle.

01:06:04.000 I think one of the core elements of the culture war is people who are discerning, who watch the news and seek out true information and try and fact check.

01:06:11.000 And you have people who don't.

01:06:13.000 The people who don't are being, you know, hypnotized.

01:06:16.000 I'm just imagining there's Brian Stelter and he's got his, you know, watch going left and right.

01:06:19.000 Don't watch Fox News.

01:06:21.000 Only we can give you the true, good information.

01:06:24.000 And I think it was Jake Tapper who said, you can't read WikiLeaks emails.

01:06:27.000 Only, only we can do that.

01:06:27.000 Was that Tapper?

01:06:28.000 No, Cuomo.

01:06:29.000 Cuomo did that.

01:06:30.000 I'm pretty sure it was Cuomo.

01:06:31.000 I think it was Tapper.

01:06:34.000 Either one of them, whatever.

01:06:35.000 Cuomo's gone.

01:06:39.000 Until you sit down and talk with them.

01:06:41.000 I've told this before, I have friends who say they'll talk to their parents, like, hey, watch Tim's show and hear what he has to say.

01:06:46.000 And they're like, ah, I don't want to watch that conspiracy stuff.

01:06:48.000 And they're like, he's reading CNN.com.

01:06:51.000 He's reading Politico polls.

01:06:52.000 They're just giving their thoughts on this and a critical assessment.

01:06:56.000 And then I actually end up sitting down with my friend and they ask questions.

01:06:59.000 They're like, nah, Trump did this.

01:07:00.000 And I'm like, oh, actually, X, Y, and Z. And then they're like, well, I didn't hear that.

01:07:03.000 And I'll pull it up and show them.

01:07:04.000 That's terrifying.

01:07:05.000 Like one of my favorite stories when I was talking about China stealing the DNA from 1.00

01:07:08.000 people.

01:07:09.000 That's terrifying.

01:07:10.000 It was an NPR story that China was getting access to people's DNA through COVID testing.

01:07:15.000 And there are people who didn't believe me and they were like, that's conspiracy mumbo

01:07:17.000 jumbo.

01:07:18.000 And I'm like, NPR right here.

01:07:19.000 Like, if you don't believe it, I got no problem.

01:07:21.000 I don't trust NPR half the time either.

01:07:24.000 But what is it?

01:07:25.000 Do you trust NPR or not?

01:07:26.000 Well, but that's the kind of thing that NPR would be incentivized against reporting on,

01:07:29.000 which makes me more likely to trust them about it.

01:07:31.000 Because their general interest is in promoting information that makes all of the COVID testing and vaccines, etc, sound better rather than worse.

01:07:39.000 So if they're willing to say that, it's probably because they have something.

01:07:42.000 Yeah.

01:07:43.000 I also think that common sense should take a play, right?

01:07:46.000 There's this over-expertization thing, too, as well.

01:07:52.000 We have to read these things, and it doesn't matter if it's Fox News, NPR, CNN, MSNBC.

01:07:58.000 If you have a little bit of common sense, you can sniff out BS, right?

01:08:01.000 I don't care what degree you have, or if you have a PhD, whatever.

01:08:05.000 But we are battling against the Bill Burrs and the Ethan Clines.

01:08:10.000 You know, Bill Burr who went on Joe Rogan and said, Look Joe, I just turn on the TV every two weeks and do what they tell me to do!

01:08:18.000 And it's just like...

01:08:20.000 If they told you to walk off a cliff, would you do it?

01:08:22.000 Like, you have a limit.

01:08:23.000 You have a red line, right?

01:08:24.000 You get Ethan Klein, who's like, you don't even got to think about it, man.

01:08:26.000 You just go to the CDC and just tell you what to do.

01:08:28.000 And it's just like, yo, throughout history, governments have oppressed people.

01:08:32.000 How could you be a supporter of resistance if you're telling people to just blindly walk in lockstep with the government's mandates?

01:08:40.000 That's what we're battling against.

01:08:41.000 there's like a complacency and a laziness like people don't want to deal with um really bad things right like we we end up like there's like a psychosis around that like when things are really bad we don't want to pay attention we just it's a human thing and that's why it always had there's a cycle to it Well, I'm curious.

01:09:00.000 What would the NRA for families have to say about this and try to do about these problems?

01:09:06.000 About all of it?

01:09:07.000 So, basically, where we're coming at it is, like, start with the basics, right?

01:09:12.000 Like, we wanted to get politicians comfortable talking about the transgender issue.

01:09:16.000 The left wants to put gender identity into civil rights law.

01:09:20.000 That has major consequences.

01:09:22.000 Men and women's sports.

01:09:23.000 Men and women's private spaces. 0.93

01:09:24.000 Men and women's prisons. 0.71

01:09:26.000 Women's homeless shelters. 0.77

01:09:29.000 There's a lot of really bad things here.

01:09:31.000 And so we started with the sports because that was what politicians wanted to talk about.

01:09:36.000 In reality, Americans are broken sexually. 0.67

01:09:40.000 We have disconnected sex from family. 0.98

01:09:42.000 We've disconnected it from children. 0.99

01:09:44.000 It's now just totally hedonistic and you're a weirdo if you have six kids.

01:09:51.000 Have you seen the meme where it's like nine kids lined up and then the mom's pregnant and then there's a bunch of leftists saying this is disgusting and stuff like that? 0.76

01:10:01.000 Well, it's so, but I mean, but that just shows their misanthropic hand. 0.70

01:10:06.000 They hate human life.

01:10:07.000 Ultimately.

01:10:07.000 They really do.

01:10:08.000 They'll never acknowledge it.

01:10:09.000 What they love is pleasure and engaging in pleasure.

01:10:11.000 And they see other human beings existence is very inconvenient to them because that requires that they set themselves aside and make choices that are for the benefit of others.

01:10:19.000 What's the article?

01:10:20.000 It's like, in order for there to be a feminist utopia, the family must be destroyed or something like that? 1.00

01:10:24.000 Yeah.

01:10:24.000 No, but that was part of the Marxist movement.

01:10:26.000 It's true.

01:10:27.000 It's true.

01:10:27.000 Yep.

01:10:27.000 Yeah.

01:10:28.000 Well, because you need to, you know, people... This is interesting.

01:10:32.000 Back during Occupy Wall Street, there were two different governments.

01:10:36.000 Governments.

01:10:36.000 I don't know what you'd want to call it.

01:10:38.000 There was the General Assembly, which was everyone gathered around and then the facilitators effectively controlled what could be said by who and when and how money was spent.

01:10:46.000 But then you had a group of people who tried creating what's called the General Union.

01:10:50.000 And these guys explained it to me that the way the union would work is that every tent at Occupy was a family that knew each other's interests, desires, and needs.

01:11:01.000 And so a representative from each family would discuss with the larger group, instead of a group of random people all adhering to, perhaps, you know, the authority who facilitate the meetings.

01:11:09.000 I thought it was interesting that their approach from it was, we're a family, we have needs amongst each other, we'll convey those needs to other families, and then ultimately see how that greatly, you know, but that was crushed.

01:11:21.000 The general unit was basically wiped out of the park.

01:11:23.000 They were ostracized.

01:11:25.000 They were smeared and lied about.

01:11:26.000 It's like they reinvented the wheel.

01:11:28.000 Right?

01:11:28.000 Like how society works.

01:11:30.000 It is organized by families.

01:11:31.000 I think that we've gone...

01:11:33.000 The reality is, and Sheamus, you were talking about this earlier, like, we went decades without a, like, robust lobbying special interest group in D.C.

01:11:43.000 representing families.

01:11:44.000 Like, who makes politicians pay a price when they were voting to trans our kids?

01:11:49.000 Or voting to allow pornography unrestricted, you know, no age verification online?

01:11:54.000 Well, they just, they say these things don't happen.

01:11:57.000 And the problem is, once again- And it's good that they do.

01:12:00.000 But so in the long run, I think, you know, we're starting to see that the narrative start cracking.

01:12:06.000 People start realizing what's going on with their kids.

01:12:09.000 One of the one of the things I think is really important out in West Virginia, it's happening.

01:12:12.000 People think they can move to West Virginia, which is the second most Trump supporting state in the country after I think it was Wyoming.

01:12:18.000 They think they're going to go there and find a red school that's going to be like middle of the road.

01:12:22.000 Look, we're not here to teach your kids to be religious.

01:12:24.000 We're just going to, you know, teach your kids, let them be kids, play baseball, and they'll learn math.

01:12:29.000 And then it turns out that these woke activists are still running for school board in red areas on purpose.

01:12:34.000 They have a mission.

01:12:35.000 They have a cause.

01:12:36.000 They found their purpose.

01:12:37.000 So you get these kids who are going to grade school in West Virginia and they're surrounded by all of the cult woke-ism.

01:12:45.000 They have all of these books like Whiteness Contracts and stuff like that in Ibermex candy.

01:12:49.000 And then when you point it out, they call you a liar and say you're making up and the media protects them.

01:12:53.000 Yep.

01:12:53.000 So human beings have a natural desire to procreate, and it's very strange how over the past 50, 60 years or so that has been branded as sort of a strange, uniquely religious impulse.

01:13:06.000 At bottom, it's in all of us.

01:13:08.000 And people who are not Procreating or reproducing sexually try to find other ways to spread what they are to other people and so these woke activists They're essentially the byproduct of a society that has stopped seeing sex as something which is beautiful and unitive and procreative and can literally Create a human soul which will outlast the stars and the mountains and everything you've seen in this world

01:13:34.000 Into something that's just there for me to get a little bit of pleasure out of and so what happens is people become Fundamentally restructured towards selfishness in pursuing hedonistic pleasure and because they're not procreating in the traditional way They have to make your children like them because that urge doesn't disappear.

01:13:54.000 Maybe I think worse they're animals well, I think I think robots a better word than zombie for for a lot of people because There's something special with existence and life in general, and especially with human life.

01:14:06.000 There's something special, there's unique, the human experience, the feelings that we have.

01:14:11.000 But if you reduce everything to their mechanical functions, which is often what you'll see from, you know, the modern left, then there is no unique human experience.

01:14:20.000 It's just all a function.

01:14:22.000 It's all random.

01:14:23.000 It's all chaos.

01:14:24.000 When in reality, I'll put it this way.

01:14:27.000 There's a view among, you know, many atheists and more of the left that, you know, emotions are just, you know, response to stimuli to help, you know, propagate the species and all that.

01:14:41.000 Humans have these reactions and all that really is, you know, that life is random.

01:14:46.000 There's nothing else out there.

01:14:47.000 I find it fascinating because I prefer the Dr. Manhattan view of it.

01:14:51.000 Have you read or watched Watchmen?

01:14:53.000 No.

01:14:53.000 Oh, no, no, no.

01:14:54.000 Tell me about it.

01:14:55.000 Dr. Manhattan is, he's this doctor, he's Dr. Osterman, and he is involved in an accident which strips him of his intrinsic field.

01:15:04.000 He then one day this body just reforms in the lab where he was working and he has access

01:15:10.000 to manipulate time and space and he perceives you know throughout you know multiple dimensions

01:15:15.000 or whatever.

01:15:16.000 And so he's he's effectively a Superman.

01:15:18.000 He's almost the humans are for him as a god like because he has telekinesis and he can

01:15:22.000 teleport but he says he is not God.

01:15:24.000 He is not omniscient.

01:15:25.000 He just can see his future and past.

01:15:27.000 So anyway he ends up getting sick of humanity.

01:15:30.000 He leaves and goes to Mars.

01:15:32.000 But this young woman who he had been dating you know before is trying to beg him to come

01:15:37.000 back.

01:15:38.000 And he says, you know, I have seen things, you know, or he says a bunch of things, you know, like, that effectively are, life doesn't even matter.

01:15:46.000 He says, look at Mars.

01:15:47.000 For, you know, tens of thousands of years, it has existed without life, and could you say it was not better off?

01:15:53.000 What, what would human, you know, what good would Mars gain by having humans on it?

01:15:58.000 And so, he can see the future, you know, in a certain sense.

01:16:02.000 He tells the young woman who's with him that, you know, she'll leave crying.

01:16:06.000 And he says, you keep telling me that I refuse to see, you know, your way, but you refuse to see the world my way.

01:16:14.000 Because he wants her to perceive time and everything the way he does, so she can understand the sort of futility.

01:16:20.000 So in the story, he then, you know, puts his hand on her head.

01:16:24.000 She can then see past and future, but he can also see her past and future. 0.70

01:16:29.000 And what he sees is that her mother was attacked by this other guy who tried to rape her.

01:16:36.000 And she got beaten up by him, but someone came and stopped it. 0.91

01:16:39.000 She then later went and met with this guy and had sex with him, and then got pregnant with this woman and gave birth to her. 1.00

01:16:46.000 And that kind of shocks Dr. Manhattan, who's this very, you know, computeristic, like, methodical, lacking emotion.

01:16:53.000 And then he says he was wrong, and he realized that, you know, he thought he had never seen a miracle before, but then he realized that in her, All of these random moments and all of this energy and all of these things that should not have come together, come together in such astronomical odds that you could only describe humans as that miracle.

01:17:15.000 So what he was basically saying is like your mother, it is like out of all the billions of years, out of all of the different life forms that came and died, it comes down to your mother who loved a man she had every reason to hate and from it is just you.

01:17:29.000 And all of those things forming this one moment could be described as a miracle.

01:17:33.000 And so that's the human experience.

01:17:35.000 I love that way of thinking about it, that we are these unique entities that took billions of years to finally, you know, come to or however long you think that everything that was around us ultimately leads to this point.

01:17:47.000 And it seems like the odds are astronomically, it's beyond comprehension.

01:17:52.000 And that's something magnificent and unique and special.

01:17:55.000 So the people who look at this and say, it's random, it's whatever, I'll be like, yo, winning the lottery is random, but boys, it's special when you do.

01:18:02.000 Now, your life and your uniqueness is 100 billion times winning the lottery.

01:18:08.000 And that's something truly special and unique.

01:18:10.000 That's a really awesome way to think about it.

01:18:11.000 A unique human being created by you is more astronomically at odds than winning the lottery.

01:18:21.000 Exactly.

01:18:22.000 And I want to mention this because I'd be remiss not to correct myself, maybe I'm being pedantic here, but when I mentioned parents creating life or souls, you are collaborating with God in that creative process.

01:18:32.000 It's really interesting.

01:18:35.000 I've been around the block on this issue.

01:18:36.000 I get asked a lot about gay adoption.

01:18:41.000 I'm not weirded out by gays.

01:18:44.000 I'm not freaked out by them.

01:18:46.000 But what I think is...

01:18:49.000 I had this experience with someone that my family knows where they got married as a lesbian couple and they end up getting pregnant. 1.00

01:18:58.000 They get a sperm donor, the one has it, and when the baby's born The other spouse is like, well, that's not my baby.

01:19:10.000 That doesn't look like me.

01:19:11.000 It wasn't my egg.

01:19:12.000 I didn't birth it.

01:19:14.000 And so they did another thing where they had an egg from the other spouse that didn't have the baby implanted into the other mother, and then they had it.

01:19:24.000 But they would fight over which kid was cuter.

01:19:28.000 Right?

01:19:28.000 And stuff like that.

01:19:29.000 And it's like, I can't do that with my wife.

01:19:32.000 I mean, we'll do it like tongue-in-cheek, right? 1.00

01:19:34.000 Like, oh, he's such a little asshole. 1.00

01:19:35.000 He's just like his father. 1.00

01:19:36.000 Yeah, he's looks like his father, but like I can't my kids, but my wife and I as kids.

01:19:42.000 They're actually 50% of both of us.

01:19:44.000 Yeah.

01:19:44.000 And they're either like, they might look like her or look like me, but they're still made by us.

01:19:49.000 And so there's like this intrinsic unity with the family.

01:19:53.000 And when you have kids and you're married and, you know, making new human life.

01:19:56.000 I was reading something and it said, um, it was like a meme on Reddit or whatever, but they were like, why do you want

01:20:01.000 to have kids?

01:20:02.000 And the person said, because if I don't, I would be the first life form through billions of years of procreation not to have a child.

01:20:13.000 And I was like, that's kind of scary if you think about it.

01:20:15.000 Like every single ancestor that you have had a child.

01:20:21.000 Every single one of them had a child.

01:20:23.000 And if you don't, that's the end of that chain, of that history, of that...

01:20:28.000 Whatever you want to call it something something massive and profound and bigger than you ends if you do not have a child Yep.

01:20:36.000 Yeah.

01:20:36.000 Well, and I think there are some people who are not called to have children and that's fine It's okay for that lineage to end with you But if you are called to have children that that is a very beautiful thing That is a very beautiful thing to do and as I'm sort of mentioning earlier, you know You're collaborating with God in this creative process and of course he creates the soul but to be a parent and to have a child that That you are bringing into the world through his graces and the ability he's given you to do so is such a beautiful and profound thing.

01:21:02.000 And yet as a culture, we don't just have an indifference towards it.

01:21:05.000 We're actually disgusted by it.

01:21:08.000 And you know, too, you know, I was just mentioning how it's like, you know, having a child is like infinitely like at more at odds than winning the lottery.

01:21:15.000 Like the uniqueness and the rarity of that is something truly special.

01:21:18.000 I mean, and if you're really concerned about money and you'd rather buy the lottery ticket, just think about this.

01:21:23.000 Have the kid.

01:21:24.000 Bring them to Hollywood, you know, and then boom, 18, maybe not even 18 years, maybe you get a child star, then you're rich!

01:21:30.000 There you go!

01:21:31.000 Just put them to work in L.A.

01:21:33.000 Not with what they do in Hollywood.

01:21:34.000 Keep your kid as far away as possible from those people.

01:21:40.000 Something tells me I can tell you where the Hollywood people will stand on this bill.

01:21:43.000 They're gonna be like, Tim's right, bring your kids.

01:21:46.000 No, no, I was kidding.

01:21:47.000 Do not ever bring your child here. 0.99

01:21:48.000 Yeah.

01:21:51.000 Yeah, man.

01:21:51.000 Well, this is the the world we're in now is that You we have two distinct visions of reality and it's very strange and this is why I often talk about transhumanism I don't know if you've read a lot of it, but clearly Those of us who are not talking about living in a digital world or having an internal identity or anything like that outside of, you know, ourselves, we live in base reality, I suppose.

01:22:17.000 And then this other faction of people, they live in a digital or, you know, just a different version of reality.

01:22:25.000 I wonder if the internet is helping create this sense of separate identity from your body because people now have a way to go online, especially now with VR, and create avatars, create facsimiles or representations of themselves.

01:22:41.000 Whereas for the most of human civilization, you are your body.

01:22:45.000 I mean, now we have people who exist in a different space where they engage in commerce and communications, but they create a different version of themselves for these spaces.

01:22:55.000 Even different voices, if they end up speaking.

01:22:57.000 Voice changers or otherwise, cartoon versions of themselves.

01:23:01.000 What happens then when those people enter the metaverse?

01:23:03.000 They will create whatever version of themselves they want, but for those of us that just maintain base reality, live here and carry on, we're gonna have families, we're gonna have kids, and we're just gonna be like, I'm just some dude here in blue jeans.

01:23:15.000 I mean, we already see it very much so that people don't want to live in base reality, and what they're trying to do is take their own mental reality, their subjective experience of what the world is, and what their place should be in it, rather than what their place actually is, what they think it should be, and then they're trying to transform their bodies in accordance with that.

01:23:30.000 That's the entirety of the transgender movement. 0.77

01:23:32.000 Truth be told, I would love virtual reality.

01:23:36.000 Skyrim is so much fun.

01:23:37.000 You know, when the new Elder Scrolls come out, I'm gonna put that VR on and I'm gonna be firing the bow and arrow at some dragons!

01:23:43.000 But the interesting thing to me is that, you know, when I play these games, it's just like first person, it's your hands, and they're moving around.

01:23:49.000 I'm still me.

01:23:50.000 I still view myself as me.

01:23:51.000 There's, you know, for me, I don't go into these video games and think, I want to be someone else.

01:23:55.000 I just think, I want to throw a fireball at a dragon.

01:23:58.000 But there are some people who go into these spaces specifically to escape and to be something else.

01:24:03.000 They go in chat rooms and lie about who they are.

01:24:05.000 They go into video games and create avatars specifically to be a different person.

01:24:10.000 I wonder if one of the issues we just have is at the root, people aren't taught to love themselves.

01:24:15.000 Or really how to love anything.

01:24:18.000 And there's been this huge rise in VR porn.

01:24:22.000 I did this debate series with Brandy Love. 0.90

01:24:26.000 She's an active porn star. 1.00

01:24:27.000 And she's actually pretty honest. 0.97

01:24:29.000 I think for a porn star, she's pretty great. 1.00

01:24:33.000 And a moral person, I think.

01:24:34.000 But the thing is, even she was freaked out by VR porn.

01:24:40.000 Because she was like, I just think it's a little bit too weird.

01:24:42.000 I think that, you know, when it comes to sex, it's really important to have another person and to share that with someone else.

01:24:48.000 And virtual reality really is like people trying to escape reality.

01:24:53.000 And it's terrible.

01:24:54.000 I think that's where we're going for sure.

01:24:56.000 And that's what porn is in general.

01:24:57.000 And look, there is one of the quotes I love to say on the show every so often is, Google it!

01:25:03.000 Tell me who said this, because I was reading a long time ago.

01:25:06.000 They said that if humans ever meet aliens, we will shake hands not because we overcame nuclear weapons, but because we overcame the Xbox.

01:25:14.000 And the point of the article was that humans are continually chasing after self-satisfying actions like You know, what do we do?

01:25:26.000 We create a massive industry for porn.

01:25:28.000 We create food, sugars and fats and desserts.

01:25:32.000 These are the things that just trigger other reward centers in our brain and all that stuff.

01:25:36.000 And so, where will people end up?

01:25:39.000 I think at this point the article is probably outdated, but I would say at this point we're seeing, with the metaverse and everything, most people are going to, they will beg for Neuralink.

01:25:51.000 They will just be like, I don't care who's in charge, I don't care if you can erase my brain, I want to be a magic elf fighting a dragon more than anything, just get me out of this.

01:26:00.000 And they'll take it. 0.98

01:26:01.000 And they'll be dead. 0.98

01:26:04.000 There's this weird belief, and transgenderism is the precursor to transhumanism. 0.98

01:26:09.000 I disagree on that one.

01:26:11.000 I think the issue is we're seeing a whole bunch of identity issues across the board.

01:26:20.000 You've got transracial. 0.89

01:26:22.000 You've got otherkin.

01:26:23.000 Gnosticism's the root.

01:26:26.000 But I think ultimately it's just... There's a bunch of different trans identity issues that have been affecting us for a long time.

01:26:36.000 Even someone who wants to change their name, they're not happy with who they are, they're not satisfied with it.

01:26:40.000 It starts very, very small seeds.

01:26:42.000 I think for a lot of people, they feel like they're in the wrong body, but...

01:26:47.000 It could be for a variety of different ways, you know?

01:26:49.000 Like Rachel Dolezal. 0.93

01:26:51.000 She's the wrong race. 1.00

01:26:52.000 I think it's related to Gnosticism, though.

01:26:54.000 The separation of the soul from the body.

01:26:57.000 Right?

01:26:57.000 Like, Christianity has a totally different understanding, which is that your soul and your body are intricately related, and once those two are separated, that's called death.

01:27:06.000 And so I think, you know, if I'm an atheist and I hear about Neuralink and I hear about transgenderism or whatever, you're born in the wrong body, it actually kind of makes sense. 0.97

01:27:15.000 Like, if there is no God and your consciousness can, like, be replicated and put onto a hard drive, like, why not?

01:27:22.000 Like, you can technically have a copy of you living forever.

01:27:25.000 Are you familiar with Otherkin?

01:27:28.000 Isn't that like when you think you're an animal or something?

01:27:30.000 They think they're mystical animals.

01:27:32.000 Yes.

01:27:32.000 So they're, you know, it's not necessarily mystical animals.

01:27:35.000 For a lot of these people, they say they're like, you know, owls, you know, or whatever, or wolves, or they'll say they're like part owl, part cat, or things like that.

01:27:43.000 But for some people, they think they're dragons.

01:27:45.000 They think they're, you know, wyverns, or however you pronounce it.

01:27:49.000 They think they're mystical creatures that don't even exist.

01:27:52.000 And so that's why I think identity issues are well beyond just transgender.

01:27:57.000 I think, we've been seeing this on the internet for a long time, people have, maybe narcissism or however you want to explain it, separated their internal self from their physical self.

01:28:09.000 That to me I think is, maybe there's something within people that, you know, they can fathom the concept at some point, but you need some kind of catalyst to make it more pronounced, and I think the internet is that catalyst.

01:28:24.000 An opportunity for people to enter a space where they can exist as something different, at least in facsimile.

01:28:30.000 So, you know, right now, you can put on the Oculus, and I did this a while ago.

01:28:35.000 Man, I'll tell you, during lockdown, when it first started, we were in Jersey, I went on my deck, I put on the Oculus, and I was on Google Maps, and I was walking around all these different places.

01:28:45.000 Here's the crazy thing, before we even moved here, I went to Harper's Fair, and I like walked around to see what it was like, and go into the city and everything like that.

01:28:53.000 But then there was also these chat rooms and they're really interesting where you can walk around and you can create a digital character for yourself and I make the joke that people walk around like carrots because there were some people that had like strange like rutabaga bodies like they wanted to be a rutabaga man and that's and for me I'm kind of just like Whenever I play these games, I have like a default avatar because I don't care about what this thing is.

01:29:16.000 You know what I mean?

01:29:17.000 Like I'm me, and to me, I'm just playing a video game.

01:29:20.000 But to some people, they go in and they're like, this is my chance to create something that I would rather be.

01:29:25.000 I suppose.

01:29:27.000 The real issue might be people just don't like their lives and they think the grass is always greener.

01:29:34.000 One of the things that really bothers me is when I hear from people, they say, if only I had money, then I'd be able to do thing.

01:29:41.000 Yeah.

01:29:42.000 And I always tell these people, like, that's not true at all.

01:29:46.000 Ask anybody who runs a business.

01:29:48.000 Having money does not guarantee you the ability to do anything.

01:29:52.000 Some people are like, I wish I could start a successful YouTube channel, but I just don't have the money.

01:29:55.000 And I'm like, dude, I had a phone.

01:29:57.000 All I had was a cell phone when I started it.

01:29:59.000 And then when I started doing commentary, it was just a GoPro.

01:30:02.000 And they're like, well, I don't even have a GoPro.

01:30:03.000 But you have a phone, dude.

01:30:04.000 I know you have a phone.

01:30:05.000 Not everybody does.

01:30:06.000 Fair point.

01:30:07.000 So you can get cheap phones with cameras on it, and you can start somewhere.

01:30:11.000 You can get a webcam for 15 bucks.

01:30:13.000 I understand there's a base level.

01:30:14.000 You need a computer or something.

01:30:15.000 A phone can do all of it, really.

01:30:17.000 But people would always say to me, with all of these resources at their fingertips, if only I had money.

01:30:23.000 People seem to think, if only I was Axe, then I would finally be happy, and I'm just like, if you're not happy with yourself, you know, you're not gonna find it chasing after some mythical dragon beast or, you know.

01:30:37.000 Truth be told, video games are fun.

01:30:40.000 If I, you know, when I play the, you know, when I use the Oculus, I don't really... It's fun, you know, and it's gonna be really fun when they create, you know, when they have better VR with haptic feedback.

01:30:50.000 I don't know if I'd ever want to get Neuralink.

01:30:52.000 But it is tempting to be able to play video games where you can actually like experience flight and stuff like that.

01:30:58.000 But maybe the issue is there's too many people who are more weak-willed and would rather live in the fake reality where they can feel good all the time and they would wither away and die if they did.

01:31:07.000 Yeah, I have a real aversion to it all.

01:31:11.000 I really think that anytime you start to mess with your brain, the idea that someone could upload thoughts to your brain or download your thoughts, that's kind of freaky to me.

01:31:22.000 And that's at the core of neurology.

01:31:24.000 Look, I have a Tesla.

01:31:25.000 I love it.

01:31:26.000 It's a great car.

01:31:26.000 It goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.

01:31:28.000 I don't care about the environment.

01:31:30.000 If it didn't go 0-60 in 3 seconds, I wouldn't have it.

01:31:34.000 But if you look at this ecosystem that Elon Musk is setting up with Neuralink, SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, and the cell phone.

01:31:44.000 Is that part of Starlink?

01:31:46.000 He's coming out with a satellite phone that's hooked up to Starlink so he'll have a whole ecosystem and we don't even know does he have a payment processing system i mean i know he would help found paypal but that is pretty intense like you put one guy and then i don't know and then what's the other question like if he gets to mars is that his now

01:32:07.000 Well, you put a flag on it.

01:32:08.000 Yeah, I think it'd be pretty cool.

01:32:09.000 You're gonna defend it, I guess.

01:32:18.000 We're gonna have a members-only segment coming up for you around 11 or so p.m.

01:32:22.000 It will be published.

01:32:23.000 Let's read what you guys have to say.

01:32:25.000 Sean Hirschbach says, Hey guys, remember when Alec Baldwin killed a woman?

01:32:31.000 I do remember when he killed a woman.

01:32:33.000 Yeah.

01:32:34.000 You guys remember when Alec Baldwin killed a woman?

01:32:35.000 Yeah, that was pretty recent.

01:32:36.000 What's going on with that?

01:32:37.000 I don't know.

01:32:38.000 I mean, where's that court case?

01:32:39.000 I don't know, man.

01:32:39.000 Yeah, why hasn't he been arrested?

01:32:40.000 Yeah, right?

01:32:41.000 Yep.

01:32:43.000 Green Blue says Ian is probably sick from that raw aloe drink.

01:32:47.000 Is that?

01:32:47.000 Yeah, he was drinking some like aloe vera thing the other day.

01:32:49.000 Yeah, he was.

01:32:50.000 Yeah.

01:32:50.000 He said it was really bitter.

01:32:51.000 Yeah.

01:32:52.000 Huh.

01:32:52.000 Yeah.

01:32:52.000 I don't know.

01:32:53.000 All right.

01:32:55.000 Mike Rader says theory Joe Biden is not releasing the Migs to Ukraine because if he does, Putin releases blackmailed dirt on Hunter and the big guy receiving payment from the first lady of Moscow. 0.89

01:33:04.000 What's the likelihood?

01:33:06.000 Man, I remember that narrative when they were like, what does Putin have on Trump?

01:33:10.000 And now we're really coming into the, what does Putin have on Biden?

01:33:14.000 Isn't it all out there?

01:33:16.000 A lot of it's out there.

01:33:17.000 I mean, truth be told, this is more plausible.

01:33:19.000 What does Putin have on Biden?

01:33:21.000 That is definitely true.

01:33:22.000 All those financial dealings, like we only scratched the surface on that.

01:33:27.000 No, but he's just a good guy.

01:33:29.000 What are you guys talking about?

01:33:31.000 Hunter Biden?

01:33:33.000 Come on, man!

01:33:34.000 Harry Lange!

01:33:38.000 Murph Try says Tim just wanted to let people know that there is a red flag law proposed for Kentucky, SB 278, and that 2A loving Kentuckians should contact their state reps to let their voice be heard.

01:33:51.000 Definitely.

01:33:52.000 Yeah.

01:33:54.000 All right.

01:33:56.000 Vosh says, Are you kidding, Tim?

01:33:57.000 Half of Hollywood still thinks he's innocent.

01:33:59.000 In reference to Jussie Smollett getting work in Hollywood.

01:34:01.000 That's a fair point.

01:34:02.000 They're going to put him on a reality show and it's going to make money.

01:34:06.000 I mean, we joked that we should do a short film called The Jussie Smollett Story, where we reenact cinematically like what happened and hire Jussie to do it.

01:34:15.000 And it's funny because we joke because we know having Jussie in it would Yep. 0.86

01:34:19.000 Correct.

01:34:19.000 I already know it.

01:34:20.000 You get clicks. Yeah, and then I'm thinking about I'm like they've got to be thinking the same thing

01:34:24.000 Yep, you don't gotta like the guy but you want to watch him and you want to make money. Yeah

01:34:28.000 Yeah, would you watch the Jesse Smollett story? I already know it. But would you watch it? I would I would I liked it

01:34:36.000 So lifetime, I like to believe I wouldn't but if it came down to it, there's a chance I might

01:34:42.000 So the Batman comes out. Oh boy. It's Robert Pattinson, and I'm like I don't care to see it really

01:34:47.000 We love and then we ended up going to see it I didn't like it, but I'll tell you this if like lifetime

01:34:52.000 announced the Jesse Smollett story I would be sitting there with popcorn and have chips and

01:34:57.000 soda Everybody would be gathered around and we'd be ready to go

01:35:00.000 the moment We're like, it's starting, everyone, shh, shh, shh!

01:35:04.000 You know, everybody would want to see it.

01:35:06.000 Wait, what would a Jussie Smollett Lifetime movie look like?

01:35:09.000 It would be like... He comes back to town, he falls in love... No, no, no, no, it would be the story of how he got text.

01:35:15.000 No, but Lifetime's the woman's network. 1.00

01:35:16.000 No, but you know what I mean, like, it's made for TV movies.

01:35:19.000 Yeah, but it'd be funny to have, like, a women's movie about Jussie Smollett coming back, you know?

01:35:24.000 It would be, like, the week leading up to the attack.

01:35:27.000 And then it would be, like, the cops would all be like, we're gonna frame him, yeah!

01:35:33.000 And they're, like, planting evidence.

01:35:35.000 He's like, I'm being set up!

01:35:36.000 Don't you see it?

01:35:39.000 This isn't like a major spoiler.

01:35:41.000 I'll warn the audience though.

01:35:43.000 If you want to know our opinion on the Batman film, I mean I'm only speaking for myself here, but the arc is that Batman learns to use his platform responsibly.

01:35:57.000 That was the story.

01:35:59.000 Is that it?

01:35:59.000 I don't think so.

01:36:00.000 I thought so because at the end when he's talking, again spoilers, at the end when he's talking to the villains they go, I am vengeance, which is what he said, and he's been so irresponsible with his platform and what he's been doing in public, and he has to channel his celebrity in a productive way.

01:36:13.000 That's not it.

01:36:14.000 It's when, and again, spoilers for those who haven't seen it.

01:36:16.000 Spoilers.

01:36:17.000 So I'm gonna wait a few seconds after I say spoilers, and now I'm gonna say it.

01:36:20.000 So, earmuffs.

01:36:21.000 It's when Catwoman says to Batman, because she doesn't know he's Bruce Wayne, that Bruce Wayne is just another, like, white privilege.

01:36:28.000 That's a big part of it.

01:36:30.000 That works into my point, though.

01:36:31.000 He has to use his platform responsibly.

01:36:34.000 He's just a rich, white male, and he's never thought about how his influence affects people.

01:36:38.000 You know why I'm annoyed?

01:36:39.000 I wouldn't say that the Batman is insanely woke, but it is. 0.99

01:36:44.000 Because white privilege is a psychotic manipulation and lie. 0.99

01:36:48.000 It's true. 0.98

01:36:49.000 they entertain it as a concept in a film as if it's a true thing that exists, you're dealing

01:36:54.000 with cultish propaganda.

01:36:56.000 Let me explain to everybody.

01:36:59.000 Majority privilege exists.

01:37:01.000 Attractiveness privilege exists.

01:37:03.000 Age, youth privilege exists.

01:37:05.000 There's a lot of biases that people have.

01:37:09.000 And the reason why I say white privilege is a lie is that white privilege only exists

01:37:13.000 in a country with a majority white population.

01:37:16.000 And try going to other countries and they'll just be like, they have a word for you.

01:37:22.000 They have a special word for you in many countries referencing you as a foreign white person.

01:37:27.000 White privilege extends only as far as the cash in your pockets and the cash of these countries.

01:37:34.000 How about we just remove race from it? 0.96

01:37:37.000 It's wealth privilege, which is basically everything.

01:37:42.000 Alright, let's see what we got here.

01:37:43.000 Yep.

01:37:44.000 That's how it goes, man.

01:37:45.000 Everybody knows, man.

01:37:45.000 The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.

01:37:46.000 That's how it goes.

01:37:47.000 are being cheated out of our tax returns by the IRS, finding mistakes on our returns.

01:37:52.000 Yup.

01:37:53.000 That's how it goes, man.

01:37:55.000 The, everybody knows, man.

01:37:56.000 The poor stay poor, the rich get rich.

01:37:59.000 That's how it goes.

01:38:00.000 Everybody knows.

01:38:01.000 All right, Jacob Siebert says, Hey, Tim and cast,

01:38:05.000 I would suggest getting Nigerian dwarf goats because they're a lot easier to handle.

01:38:10.000 I would also suggest a herd dog, like a blue heeler, and some other large breed to scare coyotes, my personal experience.

01:38:18.000 Luke Rosek was on the show the other day, and we were talking about goats.

01:38:22.000 He said, full-size goats, what do you get, like a gallon of milk per day?

01:38:24.000 Yeah.

01:38:25.000 And he's like, if you want to drink milk, then get it.

01:38:27.000 And I'm like, I don't know if I want to drink that much milk, man.

01:38:29.000 That's a lot.

01:38:30.000 I'll help you out, bro.

01:38:31.000 Get big and strong.

01:38:32.000 Well, he was saying the dwarf goats have like 6% milk fat, which is great for cheese, but

01:38:36.000 that might make you fat.

01:38:37.000 And I'm like, considering how many people we have, I think making cheese is like the

01:38:42.000 right way to go.

01:38:43.000 I don't know how to make cheese.

01:38:44.000 Also, if it hits the fan, getting fat off the food you have is not the worst problem

01:38:47.000 to have.

01:38:48.000 Well, I'm excited for the stuff we're building.

01:38:50.000 I thought you were going to say, I'm excited for it to hit the fan.

01:38:56.000 The good news is, I think the patio that the truck drove over the other day, we're going to be able to, yeah, we can just clean it off.

01:39:02.000 So we were worried because they just laid the epoxy and then pressing dirt into it would push it into the glue and you have to sand it off.

01:39:09.000 But it looks like for now, we're not entirely sure.

01:39:12.000 Some of it has come off, but not in the deepest area.

01:39:15.000 So otherwise they got to sand the patio.

01:39:17.000 It's going to be a disaster. 0.95

01:39:18.000 It's going to suck.

01:39:18.000 Yeah, if you want a full-sized goat, my family used to have French Alpine goats, which were really good, really solid, adorable babies, and a lot of milk.

01:39:26.000 Milk?

01:39:26.000 Yeah.

01:39:26.000 I mean, what about a cow?

01:39:28.000 I like cow milk.

01:39:29.000 Oh yeah, cows are awesome. 1.00

01:39:30.000 How many gallons of milk do they produce a day? 0.88

01:39:31.000 I'm not sure.

01:39:32.000 That's a good question.

01:39:33.000 I assume they're a lot more difficult to maintain than a goat.

01:39:36.000 But then what do you do with a baby cow? 0.97

01:39:37.000 Like, you gotta get the cow pregnant. 0.99

01:39:38.000 So do you, like, ask some dude to bring his bull over?

01:39:40.000 Yeah, I think that's kind of... You put up a sign saying, like, Cow Seeking Bull.

01:39:45.000 Call this number.

01:39:45.000 It's like a dating app.

01:39:47.000 I guess, or you bring your cow to the bowl, and the bowl gets down to it, then you bring the cow back, and then you get milk.

01:39:54.000 I'm sure they have ways to do it.

01:39:56.000 I'm hearing from Google.com, the website, that most dairy cows are milked two to three times per day.

01:40:02.000 On average, a cow will produce six to seven gallons of milk per day.

01:40:06.000 Whoa, whoa, one cow will make six to seven gallons per day?

01:40:10.000 That's a lot of milk.

01:40:11.000 Yep, that's what I'm reading.

01:40:12.000 That's incredible.

01:40:13.000 No, this is from Google.

01:40:14.000 He's like goats a little better.

01:40:16.000 Oh, this is, so here's the second result.

01:40:18.000 So I'm getting even deeper into my investigative research.

01:40:22.000 It says milk production per cow has more than doubled in the last 40 years.

01:40:25.000 In the U.S., the average dairy cow produces more than 7.5 gallons of milk per day.

01:40:29.000 That's crazy.

01:40:30.000 Goats are a good compromise. 0.97

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:33.000 Yes, I certainly think so, and we should.

01:40:34.000 I'm a big fan of nuclear power, especially the newer generations.

01:40:36.000 to build nuclear power plants with the aim of providing 25% of the country's power.

01:40:41.000 What are your thoughts on the economic effects?

01:40:43.000 Can we get free of Saudi oil?

01:40:45.000 Yes, I certainly think so.

01:40:46.000 And we should.

01:40:47.000 I'm a big fan of nuclear power, especially the newer generations.

01:40:50.000 What do you think about nuclear?

01:40:51.000 I love it.

01:40:52.000 I mean, look, I've seen Chernobyl.

01:40:53.000 I mean, it's incredible what happened there, but that was all basically corruption.

01:40:58.000 Nuclear power, today, I don't think we built a new nuclear power plant in America since like the 70s, right?

01:41:04.000 Or am I misremembering that?

01:41:06.000 That's right, unfortunately.

01:41:07.000 We've got such better technology now than in the 70s, and we haven't really had any major catastrophes here in America.

01:41:13.000 Yeah, um... Like Three Mile Island, I think?

01:41:16.000 No, no deaths.

01:41:16.000 Yeah, no deaths.

01:41:17.000 Nothing really... nothing Chernobyl-y.

01:41:19.000 Yeah.

01:41:21.000 Alright, Sean L. says, Former Army Intel Collector here.

01:41:24.000 Most news outlets are very wrong, read the military might, of Russia, China vs. the U.S.

01:41:29.000 They overstate their capabilities and understate ours.

01:41:32.000 Most people have no idea how strong we are.

01:41:35.000 Nukes are the issue.

01:41:37.000 I agree.

01:41:37.000 I think the U.S.

01:41:38.000 is strong and I think there's probably a lot of weapons the U.S.

01:41:41.000 has that we don't know about.

01:41:42.000 I also think the U.S.

01:41:43.000 is split between woke cultists and, you know, regular people, and that's going to cause very serious problems.

01:41:50.000 I think that's going to cause very serious problems, you know, on the battlefield if you end up with You know, maybe not.

01:41:57.000 Maybe people who know better than I are going to be alive.

01:41:58.000 You don't have time to think about that.

01:42:00.000 It's just, you know, fight and survive and get the mission done.

01:42:03.000 But I think when people start seeing the world completely differently from each other, it'll cause very serious problems.

01:42:13.000 Carrie, my girl, says, justice with Jussie is the new show.

01:42:16.000 LOL.

01:42:16.000 Yeah.

01:42:17.000 That's great.

01:42:18.000 Justice with Jussie.

01:42:19.000 Let's do it.

01:42:20.000 Yeah.

01:42:21.000 Look, Seamus, there are so many cartoon opportunities for you on this one.

01:42:24.000 I know.

01:42:25.000 I know.

01:42:25.000 Look, it's about narrowing down what I'm going to focus on.

01:42:30.000 What's a good conspiracy film?

01:42:31.000 Like a whodunit?

01:42:33.000 You have like a Jussie Smollett whodunit where he's trying to figure out who framed him?

01:42:36.000 Who actually framed him?

01:42:37.000 Yeah.

01:42:37.000 Who framed Jussie Smollett?

01:42:39.000 No, it's a really good question.

01:42:40.000 It's a really good question.

01:42:42.000 We may never find the real hoaxer.

01:42:43.000 I don't know.

01:42:44.000 Is he in the room with us right now?

01:42:47.000 Yeah.

01:42:48.000 It was Tim.

01:42:50.000 VeryAngryCitizen says, Couldn't take living in Philadelphia anymore.

01:42:53.000 Crime is up.

01:42:54.000 Quality of life is down.

01:42:55.000 Filth everywhere. 1.00

01:42:56.000 As of 11.41am today, I'm a West Virginia resident just outside of Morgantown.

01:43:02.000 Sent Lids my resume.

01:43:02.000 God bless you all.

01:43:03.000 Congratulations on escaping Philadelphia.

01:43:06.000 We were on the other side of the river and it was just brutal, man.

01:43:09.000 Yeah, these cities have fallen apart.

01:43:12.000 He is the guy who went out and took revenge on the person who assaulted his child.

01:43:18.000 was denied bail. What an upside down timeline we are living in. Who is that? I don't know

01:43:21.000 who that is. He is the guy who went out and took revenge on the person who assaulted his

01:43:27.000 child. Oh, the former MMA fighter. Yep. Yep. Joshua Bro says Jesse is out on bail pending

01:43:37.000 Is it quite possible the appellate judge issued a harsher sentence when he is found guilty again?

01:43:41.000 The system wants people to shut up and take it.

01:43:43.000 I bet this is a bad idea for Jussie. 0.98

01:43:46.000 I think Jussie is an egomaniac sociopath and that the reason he was screaming I'm not suicidal was because he was planning on killing himself so they had to restrain him to a bed with straps Because he would want to harm himself to create a legacy of that it was a conspiracy the whole time.

01:44:01.000 Nobody will believe it. 1.00

01:44:02.000 He's an egomaniac and a sociopath and he's also really dumb. 1.00

01:44:05.000 Really dumb. 1.00

01:44:06.000 Really dumb. 1.00

01:44:09.000 Mitzo Plick says, Taco Bell is to Mexican food what strawberry candy is to eating an actual strawberry. 1.00

01:44:16.000 Yeah.

01:44:17.000 There was like a lawsuit recently I read about where some guy sued Pop-Tarts or something.

01:44:22.000 What?

01:44:22.000 How dare he?

01:44:23.000 Because he was like, it says strawberry, but there's no strawberries in it.

01:44:25.000 What?

01:44:25.000 And then the judge said something like, I don't think any reasonable person would look at what's on the box and assume it's a strawberry.

01:44:32.000 That's great.

01:44:34.000 Yeah.

01:44:35.000 Well, it might not be real strawberry, but sometimes it's just what you want.

01:44:38.000 I mean, to be fair, it does literally say the word strawberry.

01:44:41.000 True.

01:44:41.000 Technically correct.

01:44:42.000 It does.

01:44:42.000 Wait, there are actually strawberry, like, preserves in it?

01:44:46.000 I don't, I think there probably is some.

01:44:48.000 Strawberry flavored.

01:44:50.000 I don't know.

01:44:50.000 I don't know, we can look it up.

01:44:51.000 I'm curious.

01:44:52.000 Ian Crossland with a super chat saying, Seamus, please make O'Donald's in Freedom Tunes and make the O'Donald's worker an ethnic Irish guy.

01:44:59.000 So, I don't know, he said ethical Irish guy.

01:45:02.000 Oh, no such thing.

01:45:03.000 Well, oh!

01:45:05.000 I can't believe that you would beat me to it.

01:45:10.000 I couldn't miss my chance.

01:45:13.000 I was actually deciding whether or not I would malign an entire group of people based on their ethnicity, but before I could make that decision, Lydia did.

01:45:21.000 You're welcome.

01:45:23.000 But Lydia's Irish, right? 0.82

01:45:24.000 Yeah, I am.

01:45:25.000 Self-deprecating.

01:45:26.000 I knew there was a reason I didn't trust her.

01:45:29.000 So Ian is asking about O'Donald's, which harkens back to McDonald's, which I mean, it's possible that this particular McDonald family was Scottish, but MC is Irish, as the super chat above testifies from Ryan MC Cafferty.

01:45:43.000 It's Irish.

01:45:43.000 Mick Cafferty.

01:45:44.000 Look at that.

01:45:45.000 Mick is Irish. 0.64

01:45:46.000 Don't trust the Brit.

01:45:48.000 Would you get sued if you made a burger place called O'Donald's?

01:45:51.000 Because I totally want to do it now.

01:45:53.000 That's an interesting question.

01:45:54.000 It just depends on what the logo looks like.

01:45:57.000 It'll be a golden O. W?

01:45:58.000 Yeah.

01:46:01.000 A big O. Yeah.

01:46:03.000 I don't know.

01:46:03.000 I almost want to do it just because it'd be funny.

01:46:06.000 It would be really funny.

01:46:07.000 Yeah.

01:46:07.000 Let's do it.

01:46:07.000 Or at least like get the logo done.

01:46:09.000 Yeah.

01:46:10.000 What can we do? Colonel Papa...

01:46:12.000 O'Donald's?

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:14.000 It just makes all of us like it.

01:46:15.000 I'll tell you, you know what my idea for a restaurant is?

01:46:17.000 So you know how you go to Panda Express?

01:46:19.000 You like walk up and you're in line and they have all- You go there a lot, don't you?

01:46:22.000 No, I don't at all.

01:46:23.000 So, uh, but you know how you go in and you're in line like- And Chipotle, you go in line and they have all the food?

01:46:28.000 Yeah.

01:46:28.000 My idea for a restaurant is...

01:46:30.000 They have- It's- It's like Panda Express,

01:46:33.000 cause they have like the different kinds of food, the orange chicken, or spicy beef or whatever they have.

01:46:37.000 But this place has orange chicken, chicken tikka masala, and pad thai.

01:46:43.000 So you go there and they have those three things.

01:46:45.000 And then maybe other sides, because that, because those I think were like the top three Grubhub ordered items or something.

01:46:51.000 So I was like, do one restaurant that serves those three things.

01:46:54.000 And you and all your friends could go there and you walk up and you're like, I'll do the orange chicken.

01:46:57.000 They put it in the thing and you get rice.

01:46:59.000 All of it served with rice anyway.

01:47:00.000 Yep.

01:47:01.000 So it's like, there you go, man.

01:47:02.000 I think I'd rather go for chicken tikka masala, to be honest.

01:47:05.000 That's what I'm all about.

01:47:06.000 That's my idea for a restaurant.

01:47:07.000 Although I really, really would love to have like a little fast food burger joint.

01:47:12.000 Just like maybe like a little sit down place.

01:47:14.000 We'd do the quick burgers and you know, some fries.

01:47:18.000 O'Donald's.

01:47:19.000 McPoole's.

01:47:22.000 If you did that if you put MC in front of your name What if your last name was actually McDonald and you wanted

01:47:27.000 to open a restaurant? Yeah, you could yeah, yeah to be honest

01:47:30.000 There was there's a hot dog place in Chicago. I used to go to called Donald's though. Yeah. Yes

01:47:34.000 Yeah.

01:47:35.000 We used to go there when we were in the city.

01:47:36.000 Oh yeah, you're familiar now.

01:47:37.000 Yeah, delicious, delicious.

01:47:38.000 Yeah, it is a really good place, to be honest.

01:47:40.000 Alright.

01:47:41.000 Ken says, Yep!

01:47:41.000 Why would they do that?

01:47:42.000 Buy what you gotta buy now before it's too late.

01:47:44.000 much for the economic warfare, but you won't hear that in the mainstream media.

01:47:47.000 Russia has a massive stockpile of gold, world abandoning USD as a reserve

01:47:52.000 currency. Yep! Why would they do that? Buy what you gotta buy now before it's too

01:47:56.000 late. Yep. Yeah. All right, let's grab some more.

01:48:00.000 Padre Mortales says, Remember that by the Mexicans defeating the French, it helped prevent the French from helping the Confederacy, therefore helping the Union win the Civil War.

01:48:10.000 Good holiday to celebrate in the U.S.

01:48:12.000 Oh, yeah, Cinco de Mayo.

01:48:13.000 That's right.

01:48:14.000 It's a great holiday.

01:48:15.000 Roberto Lara says, I was going to check Occupy Democrats if they're praising Jussie.

01:48:20.000 Guess they blocked me on Facebook and Twitter.

01:48:21.000 Wow.

01:48:22.000 So welcoming.

01:48:23.000 Real facts.

01:48:23.000 So honest.

01:48:24.000 Yeah.

01:48:25.000 They blocked a lot of people, I guess.

01:48:27.000 On special, Noob says, Tim, Timmy, Timothy, please oh please name the next rooster of Chicken City, Dwayne the Cock Johnson. 0.66

01:48:33.000 Oh my god!

01:48:35.000 Yes!

01:48:35.000 That's a good one.

01:48:36.000 That is pretty good.

01:48:37.000 Terry loves it.

01:48:38.000 I saw one earlier, I was watching the chicken feed over there, and someone said, uh, Cluck Norris.

01:48:47.000 Oh, I like that, too.

01:48:48.000 I thought that was pretty good.

01:48:49.000 Well, the original idea we had was that all of our original chickens have regular names and their last names are bird puns.

01:48:57.000 So we've got Sarah Avenberg.

01:49:00.000 We have Roberto Beeks.

01:49:02.000 And he's the father of all of the babies, so basically every new baby is a Beeks, part of the Beeks family.

01:49:07.000 So Roberto Jr.

01:49:08.000 Beeks. 0.79

01:49:08.000 Then we have Vanessa Peckingham. 0.79

01:49:10.000 Margaret Hatcher.

01:49:11.000 That was brilliant.

01:49:12.000 That was handy, I'm pretty sure.

01:49:14.000 I'm sure it was.

01:49:14.000 That's genius.

01:49:15.000 That's very good.

01:49:16.000 That was very good.

01:49:17.000 Margaret Hatcher, that was brilliant.

01:49:19.000 And Carol Cluck.

01:49:21.000 One of my favorites, though, is Katarina Kurica. 0.98

01:49:26.000 Yeah, I like that.

01:49:26.000 Russian for bird?

01:49:28.000 Russian for chicken.

01:49:29.000 Ah, gotcha.

01:49:29.000 Yeah, the name is Catherine Chicken.

01:49:31.000 That's cute.

01:49:31.000 We just literally called her Chicken.

01:49:33.000 I think it's great.

01:49:33.000 Yeah, no, it's very good.

01:49:35.000 Roberto Pollo.

01:49:36.000 Look, it works.

01:49:37.000 That's right.

01:49:37.000 And now we have, I think downstairs right now, 24 babies.

01:49:41.000 There's a lot.

01:49:42.000 So many.

01:49:43.000 Yeah, because we also had some delivered.

01:49:45.000 And then we've got... They're so cute.

01:49:48.000 34 incubating.

01:49:50.000 So out of the 22 incubated we did, the first incubation, only 12 actually made it.

01:49:55.000 Some of them appeared to not be fertilized and one of them stopped developing halfway through.

01:50:00.000 My wife and I, to keep our kids busy during COVID, and also we were kind of worried the world's gonna fall apart, we got a bunch of chickens.

01:50:07.000 And it's devastating.

01:50:08.000 Like when we did, I think we hatched six and only three came.

01:50:13.000 And it was just devastating because you just wait and wait and wait.

01:50:17.000 It's a fun, fun little hobby though.

01:50:18.000 You know what the sad thing is though?

01:50:21.000 You really should not expect to have chickens and treat them like pets that you care about, to be honest.

01:50:24.000 No.

01:50:25.000 Because we've got, you know, we care about our chickens, we love our chickens, but you can't really have a bunch of girl and boy chickens. 1.00

01:50:33.000 You can't do it.

01:50:34.000 So we have Roberto and Roberto Jr., and they have to be retired off to the boys' dormitory, which means they're gonna go off to other property and they're gonna live with all the boys, because you really just can't have all these babies that are being born, the boys, once they get to a certain age, off to the boys' dorm.

01:50:48.000 Yeah.

01:50:48.000 Because all the roosters can live together. I am really, really excited for when we unleash like

01:50:52.000 50 fully grown roosters onto the property to just like graze.

01:50:56.000 And I'm wondering what, you know, predators would think. Because roosters are- They're mean.

01:51:01.000 Yeah. And you know, a fox could take one rooster for sure, but not for-

01:51:05.000 Not 50.

01:51:05.000 No, that fox is dead.

01:51:08.000 Yep.

01:51:09.000 Just imagine the fox is like crawling through the tall grass seeing a rooster.

01:51:12.000 He thinks it's all hens.

01:51:13.000 He doesn't know.

01:51:14.000 Well, he just sees the one rooster and he's like, I'm going to eat this, this, this, you know, fowl.

01:51:19.000 And then all of a sudden he jumps for it.

01:51:20.000 And you just hear like all this insane.

01:51:23.000 And they all just run in and they're jump kicking it and scratching it and pecking it.

01:51:28.000 And then the roosters eat the fox.

01:51:29.000 We need a chicken cartoon series, like a chicken cartoon series.

01:51:33.000 We have one, I think.

01:51:35.000 Chicken?

01:51:35.000 Yeah, the Kent one.

01:51:36.000 Actually, they went to this guy named Kent.

01:51:40.000 Oh, I know.

01:51:41.000 It's an anime.

01:51:42.000 No, Kent's pretty cool.

01:51:43.000 He's so funny.

01:51:44.000 Kent's pretty cool.

01:51:45.000 We love Kent.

01:51:46.000 Yeah, so we do like, we have cartoons in our vlog periodically, and some of them are just like, you know, the chickens doing chicken stuff.

01:51:54.000 Yep.

01:51:55.000 JC says, read No Winter Lasts Forever, a vigilante thriller about mass shootings by Jonathan Epps.

01:52:01.000 Oh, interesting.

01:52:02.000 Interesting.

01:52:04.000 That's a good question.

01:52:05.000 So I heard about the consecration of Russia and Ukraine on March 25th.

01:52:07.000 What does that mean?

01:52:09.000 That's very beautiful.

01:52:10.000 So he's going to consecrate Russia and consecrate Ukraine. 0.92

01:52:13.000 Russia and Ukraine on March 25th?

01:52:15.000 That's a good question.

01:52:16.000 So I heard about the consecration of Russia and Ukraine on March 25th.

01:52:18.000 What does that mean?

01:52:19.000 That's very beautiful.

01:52:20.000 So he's going to consecrate Russia and consecrate Ukraine. 0.92

01:52:24.000 I can't really give any more details than that.

01:52:27.000 I didn't really hear his statement from today.

01:52:30.000 You may have?

01:52:31.000 You're also Catholic?

01:52:32.000 I didn't hear the statement, but there's something big about consecrating Russia to God.

01:52:37.000 It's all your related. I'm sorry consecrating Russia to God and 0.96

01:52:41.000 it's all related like the Fatima appearances and Yeah, basically Mary told those three little kids that saw

01:52:50.000 her that if that the Poe or the church needed to consecrate Russia to

01:52:54.000 God and if he didn't that Russia would spread her arrows our errors all throughout the world and 0.99

01:53:01.000 And...

01:53:03.000 It never happened.

01:53:03.000 Yeah, so this is interesting because this is a little beyond my pay grade, but there's discussion over whether Russia was consecrated under John Paul II because there was a consecration of the world that we were sort of told was a consecration of Russia, but it's argued that to consecrate something is to set it aside.

01:53:18.000 What does it mean?

01:53:21.000 Is it a special thing for Russia?

01:53:22.000 It's good for Russia? 0.99

01:53:25.000 Let me double check, but I believe it's to consecrate Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart.

01:53:30.000 Yeah, it's basically saying, like, I don't even know what consequence.

01:53:34.000 It's kind of like a better blessing.

01:53:36.000 It's like a blessing and a dedication.

01:53:38.000 Like you are now going to be serving God.

01:53:42.000 Well, all right, then.

01:53:43.000 All right.

01:53:44.000 Alex says, Tim, I've had enough.

01:53:45.000 Banning Elote is the last straw.

01:53:47.000 Cancel Chicago.

01:53:49.000 Yeah, we were pissed.

01:53:50.000 We would go to the, we would go to Venom Park.

01:53:52.000 That's where we would skate at tennis court.

01:53:54.000 We'd skate in there.

01:53:54.000 And then this like working class dude, you know, probably an immigrant or something.

01:53:59.000 He's coming up with a hard, honest day's work.

01:54:02.000 And he says, young, young friends, I have come to bring you delicious corn with mayonnaise on it.

01:54:08.000 And we were, we would run up and we'd be like throwing money at him because it's good.

01:54:11.000 It's really good.

01:54:12.000 And, and it was a service provided to us that we were, that we appreciated.

01:54:16.000 And then one day they stopped, shut up.

01:54:17.000 They also had these little like, um, Orange wheel-looking things?

01:54:20.000 I don't know what they were made of.

01:54:22.000 And they had, uh, yeah.

01:54:24.000 So they had, like, different kinds of snacks.

01:54:26.000 I think they might have had pork rinds, too.

01:54:26.000 Wheel-looking things?

01:54:27.000 Like crunchy things?

01:54:27.000 Yeah, it's like orange, crunchy things that look like wheels.

01:54:30.000 That sounds good.

01:54:31.000 And, like, we would get corn.

01:54:33.000 I'm hungry.

01:54:33.000 Some people would just go for the corn and the cob, and then they, you know, put all the stuff on it and you just eat it.

01:54:38.000 That's my preferred.

01:54:39.000 Yeah, put it in the cup.

01:54:40.000 And it's just, it's crazy to me that they took that away from us.

01:54:43.000 You know what started happening then?

01:54:45.000 Ice cream trucks started coming.

01:54:46.000 Oh.

01:54:46.000 So we went from eating corn.

01:54:48.000 Good for you.

01:54:49.000 To ice cream.

01:54:50.000 Better for you.

01:54:51.000 Man.

01:54:52.000 Man, that ice cream guy was crazy though.

01:54:53.000 True story.

01:54:54.000 The ice cream guy who'd come to the park didn't know what money was.

01:54:57.000 Totally serious.

01:54:59.000 Yeah, a weird thing happened where...

01:55:01.000 Someone, it was like a dollar for an ice cream cone.

01:55:04.000 Someone went up to him and was like, I only got 80 cents.

01:55:06.000 Is that enough?

01:55:07.000 And the guy was like, he didn't speak English.

01:55:08.000 He was like, yeah.

01:55:09.000 And then the kid put the money in his hand.

01:55:10.000 He was like, oh, thank you.

01:55:12.000 And then he went and told everybody, like, I just gave him 80 cents.

01:55:14.000 It was okay.

01:55:14.000 And so people were like, okay.

01:55:16.000 So then people went up, like, how about 50 cents?

01:55:17.000 And he was like, yeah.

01:55:18.000 And he would take it, give him the cone.

01:55:20.000 And we were like, and then one day people realized, like, I'm going to offer him something else.

01:55:25.000 And someone gave him like a bike peg.

01:55:27.000 They walked up and they had it in their hand and they found it in the trash and they were like, here.

01:55:30.000 And they put it in his hand and he gave him an ice cream cone.

01:55:32.000 And then somebody, people were like, what?

01:55:34.000 So then people would give him hands of, like, handfuls of wood chips.

01:55:37.000 What?

01:55:37.000 They would give him, like, shattered bits of plastic and he would accept it.

01:55:41.000 True story.

01:55:42.000 Seriously, it was weird.

01:55:43.000 And then one day he showed up and someone tried giving him wood chips from the playground and he was like, no.

01:55:49.000 And then inside the machine was a dollar taped to, like, the side and he would look at it and point at it.

01:55:56.000 He got smart.

01:55:57.000 Yeah, it was really weird.

01:55:58.000 It was really, really weird.

01:55:59.000 Yeah, Southside.

01:56:01.000 I don't know.

01:56:01.000 Strange stories, man.

01:56:02.000 Strange stories.

01:56:04.000 All right, let's see.

01:56:06.000 Laura T says, please cover the DA dropping the charges against the lefty security guard, Matthew Doloff, who shot Lee Keltner.

01:56:13.000 What's that about?

01:56:13.000 I don't know what that's about.

01:56:15.000 Yeah, no idea.

01:56:17.000 We'll have to look into it, I suppose.

01:56:20.000 All right.

01:56:21.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:56:22.000 says, Tim, quote, The two most important days in life are the day you were born and the day you discover the reason why.

01:56:27.000 Correct.

01:56:27.000 Mark Twain.

01:56:28.000 Any thoughts on that at all?

01:56:31.000 Um, what is it, what is it, what is it meant to mean?

01:56:33.000 The reason why you were born?

01:56:34.000 Like your purpose in life?

01:56:35.000 Yeah.

01:56:36.000 Something like that.

01:56:38.000 I was born to complain on the internet, I suppose.

01:56:39.000 Heck yeah.

01:56:41.000 Discovered that.

01:56:42.000 Here we are.

01:56:43.000 36 years old.

01:56:44.000 It only took me, uh, you know, 20 some odd years.

01:56:47.000 28 years?

01:56:48.000 Figured out.

01:56:49.000 Yep.

01:56:52.000 Glycerin Go says, coming from your Keen and Emmons podcast about cuties, I'm reminded of the beginning of Brave New World.

01:56:58.000 Do you think we're heading in that direction where taboos are being broken for the sake of it?

01:57:04.000 I feel like there's more taboos than ever.

01:57:05.000 Yeah.

01:57:06.000 Yeah.

01:57:06.000 I don't know about breaking it for the sake of it.

01:57:07.000 I think people want, they want to play life on God mode.

01:57:12.000 Like video games.

01:57:13.000 They're tired.

01:57:15.000 It's a, it's a, it's a big mistake.

01:57:16.000 You ever, you ever played, you guys have played video games, I imagine, of course.

01:57:19.000 A little bit.

01:57:20.000 Not, not extensively.

01:57:21.000 So, you know, let's say you're playing Fallout 3, one of my favorite games ever.

01:57:25.000 Well, on your PlayStation, you can play the game as defined by the parameters of the game.

01:57:30.000 So you find weapons, you go on missions, you win the game.

01:57:33.000 On a computer, however, you have access to what's called console commands, where you can basically spawn objects, cheat.

01:57:40.000 You can do whatever you want.

01:57:42.000 And after a while of playing the game, you're like, I would like to do things I can't normally do and have the game be easy, so you make yourself invincible, or you make yourself bigger, or you give yourself infinite weapons, but the game becomes boring fast.

01:57:55.000 Because there is no game when you have access to anything and everything you want.

01:57:58.000 It's true.

01:57:59.000 So I wonder if what might actually happen is that when people go into the Metaverse, and they get to experience a virtual world where they can do anything, they say, this is boring.

01:58:08.000 Well, isn't there a line like that in the original Matrix?

01:58:11.000 Where he says something like, the original Matrix was blissful, but the human brain rejected it.

01:58:15.000 They needed struggle, and conflict, and strife.

01:58:18.000 Because when it was perfect, people just rejected it.

01:58:20.000 And that's probably it.

01:58:21.000 It's boring!

01:58:22.000 It gets boring, yeah.

01:58:23.000 I remember when I was a young'un, I discovered debug mode for Sonic the Hedgehog, that if you just pressed the controller certain ways, you could create whatever objects you want, and the game got very boring very quickly.

01:58:32.000 There's nothing to play for.

01:58:35.000 I think a lot of people really want us to open up an O'Donnell's.

01:58:37.000 Yeah!

01:58:37.000 O'Donnell's.

01:58:39.000 Someone said O'Donnell's.

01:58:40.000 You know what?

01:58:41.000 Be the change you want to see in the world.

01:58:43.000 Why don't you guys open it up?

01:58:45.000 I'm gonna open a burger shop called Seamus's.

01:58:47.000 What?

01:58:48.000 You can't do that to me.

01:58:49.000 And the funny thing is, I gotta be honest, Seamus, it will be hard for people to figure out how to pronounce it.

01:58:55.000 It's true.

01:58:56.000 They're like, Seamus's?

01:58:57.000 Why don't I go there?

01:58:59.000 But it'll be like S-E-A-M-U-S-E-S. 1.00

01:59:02.000 Dude, when I was a youngin', let me tell you another youngin' story.

01:59:05.000 I was competing in a high school film festival, and my name's been butchered really bad, but I got the announcer referring to me as Seamstress Copland when I won an award.

01:59:16.000 Seamstress? 0.91

01:59:16.000 Seamstress Copland. 0.91

01:59:17.000 That's amazing!

01:59:18.000 I was like, well, you know what?

01:59:19.000 That's just my burden.

01:59:21.000 I had a friend named Sean, S-E-A-N, and we had a substitute teacher who came in, was doing roll call, and she was like, scene!

01:59:29.000 And then everyone laughed.

01:59:31.000 It's like he raises his hand.

01:59:33.000 Dude, I knew someone whose name was Sean, or I suppose you could say should have been Sean.

01:59:38.000 It was spelled S-E-A-N, but like he and his family pronounced it seen.

01:59:42.000 What?

01:59:42.000 Really?

01:59:42.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:59:43.000 That's not right.

01:59:44.000 Not common.

01:59:46.000 That must have confused a lot of people, too.

01:59:49.000 That's annoying.

01:59:50.000 You think it's a joke, right?

01:59:51.000 Like, oh, no, actually it's seen.

01:59:53.000 Yeah, geez.

01:59:54.000 Dasher says, World War 3 will be called the Great Oil War if the Saudis switch from selling the oil from US dollars to the Chinese Yuan.

02:00:02.000 It will create more chaos than World War 2, but only to China. 0.99

02:00:05.000 So it's just like, they'll still be selling, you know, oil for dollars, except to China.

02:00:12.000 But once that happens, China's currency is instantly stronger, and then international investment can move in for China way more.

02:00:19.000 So the amount of value China will gain from that one move, and the amount of value that the U.S.

02:00:25.000 dollar will lose from that one move is massive.

02:00:28.000 So buy it while you can before it's too late, I suppose.

02:00:33.000 But I think inflation is on the way.

02:00:35.000 All right, we'll get one more.

02:00:36.000 Brand Dizzle says, name the restaurant Seamuses.

02:00:41.000 Sea Muses.

02:00:44.000 It'll be Seamus as a mermaid singing a siren song.

02:00:46.000 Yeah, of course.

02:00:47.000 That's what I usually do.

02:00:48.000 Just be natural.

02:00:49.000 There you go.

02:01:11.000 Terry, you want to shout anything out?

02:01:12.000 Yeah, no, this was a great time.

02:01:14.000 I really enjoyed the conversation.

02:01:16.000 You guys keep me on my toes.

02:01:17.000 And I have a bunch of family friends from back home who have been texting me this whole time.

02:01:24.000 Right on! 0.80

02:01:25.000 This is great.

02:01:26.000 Awesome.

02:01:27.000 Cool, man.

02:01:27.000 Yeah, it was awesome having you on.

02:01:28.000 I'm really looking forward to the discussion on the after show.

02:01:30.000 I want to maybe get more into your foundation.

02:01:32.000 Yeah, we'll talk family stuff.

02:01:33.000 Yeah, I think that's awesome.

02:01:34.000 Also, I want to issue a correction here.

02:01:36.000 I said this, maybe I'm being a little pedantic with myself, and I sort of touched on it, but with the creation of souls.

02:01:40.000 I was discussing about sex as procreative and creating souls, of course.

02:01:43.000 As Catholics, we believe God creates souls, so I don't want to mislead people about the teaching there.

02:01:47.000 I want to make this point.

02:01:49.000 You guys should definitely check out Freedom Tunes.

02:01:51.000 They're gonna be releasing a cartoon tomorrow.

02:01:52.000 I'm gonna describe it very dryly, but it's just basically on how World War 2 nostalgia is constantly being thrown at us over the years to encourage us to fight new wars, and we continually fall for it for whatever reason.

02:02:04.000 I hope we don't this time.

02:02:06.000 Thank you very much for watching, and we'll see you on the after show.

02:02:09.000 Very cool.

02:02:09.000 I saw a suggestion in the chat for Jesse Pullet for one of the chickens, which I think is a great name.

02:02:15.000 Please keep sending me all your suggestions.

02:02:17.000 You guys can send me your suggestions for chicken names over on Twitter at Sour Patchlets and on Mines.com as well.

02:02:23.000 I feel bad for that chicken.

02:02:24.000 I can't do that.

02:02:24.000 Jesse Pullet.

02:02:25.000 It's adorable, though.

02:02:26.000 I like it.

02:02:27.000 All right, everybody.

02:02:28.000 We will see you over at TimCast.com.

02:02:30.000 Thanks for hanging out.
