Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Major US Bank To BE SEIZED By US As Banks KEEP IMPLODING w-Leighton Woodhouse

00:00:00.000 and the other one is the one that you see on the left.

00:00:05.000 So remember how like those banks were collapsing and we were really concerned about one of them

00:00:33.000 and they said, no, everything's fine.

00:00:35.000 You don't gotta worry about that one, thank.

00:00:36.000 Well, now we gotta worry about that one bank.

00:00:38.000 It's, uh, First Republic, and not only are we getting reports that they've basically mismanaged funds, they're being sued, uh, I think it's like 72 billion dollars, something like that.

00:00:48.000 We're hearing now from a Fox Business reporter that the U.S.

00:00:53.000 may seize this bank.

00:00:55.000 Now Watcher Guru says that the U.S.

00:00:57.000 government is expected to actually seize this bank.

00:01:00.000 And it's a decently large bank.

00:01:02.000 A lot of people have money here.

00:01:03.000 And so, money there.

00:01:04.000 So it's...

00:01:06.000 I don't know.

00:01:07.000 I guess it's worrying.

00:01:08.000 There was some other news, I guess, the other day that I didn't report on.

00:01:11.000 I just don't really care.

00:01:12.000 Who's that guy who announced he was going to run for president?

00:01:16.000 Biden.

00:01:17.000 Joe Biden announced he was going to be running for re-election or something.

00:01:20.000 I just don't care.

00:01:21.000 I really don't.

00:01:22.000 It's just not news.

00:01:23.000 So there's that.

00:01:24.000 Then there's the Fox News losing $1 billion in market value after firing Tucker Carlson.

00:01:30.000 You'd think they'd hire Dylan Mulvaney.

00:01:32.000 Fox News, they got a great opportunity there, but now we're hearing that they're losing a bunch of Fox Nation subscribers, which is all just completely obvious.

00:01:38.000 And I think one thing people haven't mentioned is that maybe the reason Rupert Murdoch wanted to get rid of him is simply because he was becoming the face of Fox News, and that's a threat to Fox News.

00:01:48.000 They want Fox News to be the brand, not Tucker Carlson.

00:01:51.000 So we'll talk about all that stuff, but before we do, my friends, we have an amazing sponsor tonight, Cast Brew Coffee!

00:01:56.000 Head over to castbrew.com and pick up your coffee today.

00:03:41.000 Sir, who are you?

00:03:42.000 I'm a journalist.

00:03:43.000 I have a sub stack called Public, which I run with Michael Schellenberger.

00:03:47.000 I've been reporting for a long time about crime, homelessness, drugs in the Bay Area.

00:03:51.000 That's where I live.

00:03:51.000 That's where Michael lives, as well as about the censorship industrial complex.

00:03:55.000 We were both part of the Twitter files.

00:03:57.000 Yeah, that's who I am.

00:03:58.000 Yeah, right on.

00:03:58.000 I saw Tim Robbins was tweeting about your work.

00:04:02.000 I saw that too.

00:04:03.000 So this is the guy from Shawshank.

00:04:05.000 Shawshank Redemption, right?

00:04:06.000 Yeah.

00:04:07.000 And he's got a new movie coming out, but he's a big movie star.

00:04:10.000 And he's also like an old school leftist, like the traditional kind of leftist.

00:04:14.000 Yeah, seems like a good dude.

00:04:14.000 There's few of them left, I guess.

00:04:16.000 Yeah, and he tweeted about the censorship industrial complex.

00:04:18.000 He tweeted out your work, so very based.

00:04:21.000 So good to have you here, man.

00:05:31.000 What's up, guys?

00:05:32.000 Serge.com.

00:05:34.000 All right, well, let's just jump into this first story.

00:05:36.000 I guess this is a big deal, and I don't know how worried you guys are, but we have this from Watcher Guru.

00:05:41.000 First Republic Bank expected to be seized by U.S.

00:05:44.000 government.

00:05:45.000 Wow!

00:05:47.000 First Republic Bank is expected to be seized by the U.S.

00:05:48.000 government, a report by Fox Business Network says, according to Charles Gasparino.

00:05:53.000 BANKERS WORKING WITH FIRST REPUBLIC SAY THEY EXPECT EVENTUAL GOVERNMENT RECEIVERSHIP FOR THE AILING BANK.

00:05:59.000 THIS WILL COME AFTER IT EXHAUSTS PRIVATE SECTOR SOLUTIONS, SUCH AS ASSET SALES AND FINDING A BUYER, BOTH OF WHICH APPEAR DIFFICULT.

00:06:05.000 I'M NOT SURPRISED.

00:06:07.000 FIRST REPUBLIC LOST MORE THAN 40% OF ITS DEPOSITS, APPROXIMATELY 72 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS YEAR. 0.90

00:06:14.000 HOLY CRAP! 0.99

00:06:14.000 Crap. 0.99

00:06:14.000 That's bad. 0.99

00:06:15.000 Its shares sank nearly 50% as the end of Tuesday.

00:06:18.000 This is according to a Monday announcement by the bank.

00:06:21.000 The bank has seen record drops over the past month and a half, particularly since the Silicon Valley bank was closed in March.

00:06:27.000 Multiple big banks have also struggled.

00:06:29.000 However, it looks like First Republic will be falling into the hands of the US government soon.

00:06:34.000 Uh, they're also, they're going to be doing that central bank digital currency in June or something.

00:06:38.000 I heard about that.

00:06:39.000 So this is all like kind of good timing.

00:06:41.000 What if this is what precipitates an emergency buyout?

00:06:44.000 We were talking about this the last time there was a banking crisis, which was like three weeks ago.

00:06:49.000 And uh, so yikes.

00:06:51.000 And the idea is like, The banks start crumbling.

00:06:53.000 Then the U.S.

00:06:54.000 government steps in and says, we are going to rescue your deposits, good members of First Republic Bank.

00:07:00.000 Simply download the Fed app and we will convert your U.S.

00:07:05.000 dollars into Fed coin, which you can then use to purchase goods.

00:07:10.000 I'll tell you guys if that happens because this whole discussion is stressing me out.

00:07:14.000 I'm experiencing some existential angst because that's my bank.

00:07:18.000 That's my bank that I bank in.

00:07:20.000 It's also the bank that owns the mortgage for my house.

00:07:23.000 Well, that might be good news.

00:07:24.000 It might be.

00:07:25.000 I have no idea.

00:07:26.000 Wouldn't that be cool, though?

00:07:27.000 We've got direct deposits going into this bank.

00:07:29.000 We just learned about this, what, like half an hour ago or something?

00:07:33.000 Yeah.

00:07:33.000 I told my wife we don't know what's happening with our money.

00:07:36.000 I mean, we're well under the FDIC cap, so we'll get insured for that.

00:07:40.000 To be fair, you've had like a month to prepare for this because we knew First Republic was in dire straits.

00:07:45.000 I believe their PR statements, they were like, we're secure.

00:07:47.000 I actually think that, I mean, I don't know anything about this, but I do think that they're just taking backsplash from what happened with Silicon Valley Bank.

00:07:53.000 So I kind of doubt that this is a fundamental issue with a bank.

00:07:57.000 I think that this is part of a panic, which is a reason why I should have joined the panic and taken my money out myself.

00:08:03.000 Or maybe by not panicking you may have helped them.

00:08:05.000 But they lost 40% of the deposits?

00:08:08.000 I mean, that sounds like mismanagement.

00:08:09.000 They're being sued apparently.

00:08:11.000 But hold on right there a minute.

00:08:13.000 Wouldn't it be cool to wake up, everybody listen, you wake up one day and you get a phone call and they're like, you know that mortgage you had on your house?

00:08:18.000 It's gone.

00:08:19.000 The house is just yours!

00:08:21.000 For $300,000, boop!

00:08:23.000 Actually, in 2009, during the banking crisis, the financial crisis, was when I bought my first house in L.A., and I had this experience.

00:08:32.000 I've never heard anybody have this experience before.

00:08:34.000 I put in an offer on this house.

00:08:35.000 It was super cheap because it was a short sale.

00:08:37.000 Property was super cheap, obviously, right after the crash.

00:08:40.000 And they sat on the offer for a while.

00:08:43.000 They came back to me like three weeks later, and they said, my agent called me,

00:08:47.000 he was like, I don't know, can't make heads or tails out of this,

00:08:50.000 but the bank is asking if you are willing to lower your offer by $50,000.

00:08:58.000 And if that happens, we'll clear it, and you'll get the house.

00:09:01.000 And I did it, and I got the house.

00:09:02.000 Absolutely not, no.

00:09:04.000 I wanna pay $50,000.

00:09:05.000 That's how crazy the market was.

00:09:09.000 But I guess the issue was like, would the buyer accept?

00:09:11.000 Or the seller, I'm sorry.

00:09:12.000 It was like, I think the best I can make of it is like, there was nobody who actually owned the house because these were all securitized loans.

00:09:17.000 It was like, you know, some Chinese sovereign wealth fund and pension fund or whatever.

00:09:21.000 So nobody actually had equity in the house.

00:09:22.000 But the bank that was holding the debt on it was just losing money every month that was on the market.

00:09:27.000 So they just wanted, it was a toxic asset.

00:09:29.000 They just wanted to get off the market.

00:09:30.000 And what they were afraid of is if they took the offer that I accepted, The appraiser would come in, who used to be super corrupt and hand-in-glove with the realtors, but all of a sudden they were super honest.

00:09:45.000 And so they were afraid that the appraiser was going to come in and say, no, this is not worth as much as you're offering, and then the deal would fall apart, and then they'd have it on their books for months longer.

00:09:53.000 So that's the best I can make sense of it.

00:09:56.000 First Republic said Monday it lost a net total of $72 billion in deposits during the first quarter, an outflow that would have topped $100 billion if not for a rescue from 11 of the nation's largest banks.

00:10:06.000 So this is like people are... It's a run of the bank.

00:10:09.000 Yeah.

00:10:10.000 This sounds like people are rushing to the bank and getting their money.

00:10:14.000 I'm worried.

00:10:15.000 It's kind of scary.

00:10:16.000 There was another story.

00:10:17.000 Did you guys hear PNC is shutting down like 40 some odd branches?

00:10:20.000 Wow.

00:10:20.000 No.

00:10:21.000 Dude, I wonder if the banking system is going and we're like on the Titanic just oblivious.

00:10:25.000 The banking system and the media at the same time.

00:10:28.000 We need a Jimmy Stewart.

00:10:30.000 Dude, the media.

00:10:31.000 Nate Silver got fired.

00:10:32.000 Yeah.

00:10:33.000 BuzzFeed's gone.

00:10:34.000 BuzzFeed News.

00:10:35.000 Do we need a Jimmy Stewart to be like, oh, the money's not in the bank.

00:10:39.000 It's in your neighbor's home and in their business.

00:10:42.000 So that people leave their money there.

00:10:44.000 I think the first thing, Adrian, you did was like, you looked up Jim Cramer.

00:10:48.000 It was on Watch or Google.

00:10:49.000 He's unbeatable.

00:10:51.000 He was, yeah, he's undefeated.

00:10:53.000 He literally said, but no, you pulled it up right before the show and you're like, oh, he said it's a safe bank.

00:10:57.000 It's a safe bank?

00:10:59.000 He could be right, like fundamentally.

00:11:01.000 FRC is new focus, very good bank.

00:11:03.000 I'm telling you, the man is undefeated.

00:11:06.000 He will not lose.

00:11:07.000 I mean, I'm really considering using him as an inverse financial advisor, you know what I mean?

00:11:12.000 Just like, whatever he says, you do the opposite.

00:11:14.000 It's like the George Costanza of finance.

00:11:16.000 Dude, with Nancy Pelosi and Jim Cramer, you should know exactly what to invest in.

00:11:19.000 You have no excuse.

00:11:20.000 That's true.

00:11:21.000 Yeah, whatever Nancy Pelosi invests in, and whatever Jim Cramer advises you to do, you do the opposite.

00:11:25.000 He's like, don't do it!

00:11:25.000 He's like, Nancy's headed for bankruptcy!

00:11:27.000 Don't invest in anyone!

00:11:29.000 I don't know what this means, though.

00:11:30.000 Am I supposed to be worried?

00:11:31.000 Like, should we panic?

00:11:33.000 You should always panic, Tim.

00:11:36.000 I should always panic?

00:11:37.000 Always panic.

00:11:37.000 That's a good rule of thumb.

00:11:39.000 I want to try and pull up this news.

00:11:41.000 Look at this one.

00:11:42.000 We never actually covered this story, even though it's from April 4th.

00:11:47.000 Can I close this or something?

00:11:48.000 What is this?

00:11:49.000 PNC Bank set to close 47 branches across the U.S.

00:11:53.000 by end of June.

00:11:53.000 Wow.

00:11:54.000 So if you got First Republic or PNC, I guess the challenging thing is, does reporting on it just contribute to a run on the bank and make everything worse?

00:12:04.000 I think yes.

00:12:05.000 The banking system, though, it was a matter of time, because the whole thing operates on confidence and faith, right?

00:12:10.000 I mean, they have a system of fractional reserve lending where if you put in 100 bucks, you know, the bank can lend out 90 of it and only hold 10.

00:12:18.000 And the only thing that's holding the system together is everybody not going to the bank at the same time to take their money out, which is exactly what's happening right now.

00:12:23.000 They actually lend out $100.

00:12:24.000 They removed the reserve requirement.

00:12:26.000 Well, they put it back.

00:12:27.000 I think they put it back.

00:12:27.000 Someone superchatted, so they put it back.

00:12:29.000 But it's not that they can loan out $90, it's that they can create $90.

00:12:32.000 So if there's $100 in the bank, they create $90 new dollars on that $100, so now there's $190 in the money supply.

00:12:39.000 Well, I thought they can actually multiply it by 10, right?

00:12:41.000 Because they only need 10% in reserve.

00:12:43.000 So if they have $100, they can create $900.

00:12:46.000 Like what happened with the bailout was the Fed issued out like $425 billion so that could be leveraged to get $4.2 trillion in loans out.

00:12:55.000 I'm not sure.

00:12:56.000 My understanding was that you put $100 in the bank, they create $90 in loans, so they still have the $100 and now there's another $90, and then someone who gets that $90 deposits it in a different bank, so now there's $100 here, $90 here, that bank then loans out, you know, $81 or whatever, and so $100 turns into $1,000.

00:13:11.000 $81 or whatever and so $100 turns into $1,000 and that's inflation. Yeah

00:13:17.000 No, but I actually think because you only have to have 10% on hand, they can literally say we have $100, therefore we're able to lend out $900 as opposed to $90.

00:13:25.000 I think you guys are saying the same thing.

00:13:26.000 You're saying you're allowed to.

00:13:27.000 No, but he's saying $90.

00:13:28.000 Yeah, so I'm just being like, they could, like, loan that $90 out.

00:13:33.000 But they're not loaning it out, they're creating it.

00:13:35.000 Create, well, yes.

00:13:36.000 Like, credit cards make money.

00:13:37.000 Wait, let me resolve this.

00:13:38.000 If somebody puts $100 into a bank, they create $900, because that's 10%, right?

00:13:44.000 So that gives them the ability to be able to lend out.

00:13:46.000 I don't think that's how it works.

00:13:47.000 They can loan out 90% of the deposits.

00:13:50.000 Oh, I hear what you're saying.

00:13:51.000 Okay, yeah.

00:13:52.000 So if they receive $100... They keep 10 on hand, but what I'm saying is... They keep 100 on hand, and then create 90.

00:13:58.000 I think that they- do they?

00:13:59.000 Or do they just actually issue it out because a lot of these banks don't have the cash on hand when people come to withdraw, and that's why they collapse.

00:14:05.000 So I think they actually do pass the money out.

00:14:07.000 Someone's saying it's $900, not $90.

00:14:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:08.000 Not in the sense that- $100 deposit is $1,000 in new money loans.

00:14:13.000 Yeah.

00:14:14.000 If they lend the money out, it's not as effective.

00:14:15.000 Seamus is right.

00:14:16.000 Okay, Seamus is right.

00:14:17.000 Maybe he gets deducted from anybody else's bank account, though.

00:14:20.000 We don't actually fact check.

00:14:21.000 We just ask the audience, and the audience says Seamus is right.

00:14:22.000 The audience says I'm right!

00:14:24.000 This is a popularity contest, let's face it.

00:14:26.000 I got no idea.

00:14:27.000 I mean, I'm not a finance guy, so I'll defer to the cartoonist.

00:14:31.000 That's a brilliant strategy.

00:14:33.000 Look, if you can make a living making cartoons, you're good with money.

00:14:36.000 That's all I'll say.

00:14:37.000 You can stretch those dollars.

00:14:38.000 You can stretch that dollar, dude.

00:14:40.000 Was that an anti-Semitic joke?

00:14:42.000 What?

00:14:42.000 No, it was an anti-me joke.

00:14:44.000 He's Irish.

00:14:47.000 No one here is panicking, though.

00:14:49.000 Like, you're like, I'm kind of worried about... I'm panicking.

00:14:51.000 Well, you got, hold on, you got a house $50,000 cheaper right after the crash, so you get a break.

00:14:57.000 But I might get a free house now, actually.

00:14:58.000 Oh, well that would be nice.

00:15:00.000 Yeah, what happens, like the bank, the government bails out and the government owns your house?

00:15:03.000 I have no idea what happens.

00:15:04.000 What if Joe Biden is just like... We own your house!

00:15:07.000 It's not our house, man.

00:15:08.000 You can't own a house, it's everyone's house, man.

00:15:10.000 Oh, man.

00:15:10.000 That's what he said about kids today.

00:15:12.000 He's like, it's not your children, it's the nation's children.

00:15:15.000 I was like, what?

00:15:17.000 Excuse me?

00:15:18.000 The state owns your kids. 0.51

00:15:19.000 You can't tell someone not to sniff your kid, man.

00:15:22.000 We're all paying taxes for that hair.

00:15:23.000 I don't think he said that.

00:15:25.000 That's exactly what he said.

00:15:27.000 Fact check me.

00:15:28.000 Have the chat fact check me on it, Tim.

00:15:30.000 All right, Chet, did Joe Biden actually say he's allowed to smell your kids?

00:15:35.000 They're gonna say he did.

00:15:36.000 That was the spirit of what he said.

00:15:38.000 Hold on, that was the spirit of what he said.

00:15:40.000 You're bleeding between the lines.

00:15:43.000 First, Republic Bank shares sink 49% after earnings report.

00:15:47.000 I mean, like, the thing about this story is I can opine for days on, like, ABC News firing Nate Smith.

00:15:54.000 I'm sorry, Nate Silver and BuzzFeed collapsing and Don Lemon getting fired and Tucker getting fired.

00:16:00.000 But, like, the banking system collapsing, I'm kind of just like, well, I'm glad I bought Bitcoin or something.

00:16:04.000 I don't know.

00:16:05.000 It's like...

00:16:06.000 As a millennial who's lived through two major financial crises, I'm kind of not phased by banks falling apart and what that means.

00:16:13.000 And especially considering, you know, I got chickens, so I'm not worried about anything.

00:16:17.000 Are you confident in Bitcoin?

00:16:18.000 Yeah.

00:16:20.000 I'm more confident in the chickens, to be honest.

00:16:22.000 That's true, though.

00:16:24.000 I am more confident in the chickens.

00:16:25.000 What do you make of the idea that crypto is actually the vehicle that's going to be used to bring in the CBDCs?

00:16:30.000 I mean, it is.

00:16:31.000 It literally is what they're doing.

00:16:32.000 Like, the central bank digital currencies are crypto-based currencies that they're making.

00:16:39.000 Bitcoin, of course, the precursor.

00:16:40.000 But I've actually argued this for a while, that Bitcoin was the most convenient way to get anti-establishment, conspiracy-type individuals to embrace global currency.

00:16:49.000 You have people like Alex Jones being like, I want a one world government with one currency,

00:16:52.000 rah, Amaro, the Euro.

00:16:53.000 And then all of a sudden around the time he's complaining about the Amaro,

00:16:56.000 an American single, a North American single currency, Bitcoin pops up, no one knows who made it.

00:17:01.000 And then immediately it's all of these people who want to buy it.

00:17:05.000 So it's like, convince the one group of people who would reject a global currency

00:17:08.000 to adopt the global currency, and you've won.

00:17:11.000 You've controlled opposition to your way through the barricade, you know?

00:17:15.000 Yeah, well, and this is part of what is very confusing.

00:17:18.000 I mean, conservatism doesn't have a solid definition or solid footing at the present moment.

00:17:23.000 It's a little bit of, we're just going to do the opposite of what the left is doing, and a little bit of, we're just going to do the opposite of what the establishment is doing.

00:17:30.000 The idea of Bitcoin is certainly not a conservative idea, right?

00:17:33.000 That's a very new, interesting, innovative idea.

00:17:35.000 It doesn't make it a bad one.

00:17:36.000 I think there could be value to it.

00:17:38.000 But, conservatism is supposed to be about conserving.

00:17:41.000 Yeah, I would say it's more libertarian.

00:17:42.000 And it's not to say that conservatives can't have any thinking, which overlaps with libertarianism, and it would be reasonable to say because this government is so horrible and does things so badly and is destroying our currency, it makes sense for conservatives to look into crypto if that's the particular heads they've chosen.

00:17:55.000 This is not financial advice.

00:17:58.000 But we don't have a cohesively defined movement.

00:18:01.000 Well, I guess we'll see what happens with these banks, and I'm not going to give anybody financial advice, but I'll just tell you I've already been looking at means of storing value elsewhere, because with PNC closing, I think it was at 47 branches.

00:18:15.000 That's very scary.

00:18:17.000 I mean, that might be bigger news than a regional bank collapsing, because PNC is a major bank.

00:18:23.000 They're all over the East Coast.

00:18:26.000 I mean, maybe 47 is not that many compared to how many branches they have.

00:18:29.000 I guess it's an important question, but all of this happening at once is kind of freaky.

00:18:32.000 Well, the thing about Silicon Valley and First Republic is that they're like high-end banks for, you know, affluent people.

00:18:38.000 They do, like, First Republic's main business is wealth management.

00:18:41.000 So, I don't know about PNC because we don't, I don't think, I guess we do have it on the West Coast, but it's not very, very present.

00:18:46.000 No, they're just like normal banks for normal people.

00:18:46.000 Is it?

00:18:48.000 Yeah, they're like Wawa and stuff like that.

00:18:50.000 Right, right.

00:18:51.000 So, I don't know what conclusions to draw from the fact that it's these, like, elite banks that are falling, but In Australia, they announced that some of their big banks are going to stop giving out cash.

00:19:00.000 You go to the bank, you're like, I'd like money, but you can't have it.

00:19:02.000 Yep.

00:19:02.000 Yeah.

00:19:03.000 And the reason why is they said it's because everyone's using mobile apps.

00:19:06.000 So nobody needs the physical location to withdraw cash anymore.

00:19:09.000 You should go to an ATM, which is the precursor to your money only exists on the internet.

00:19:15.000 And then central bank digital currency.

00:19:15.000 Yeah.

00:19:17.000 I've actually wondered many times what that, what this means for pay and handlers.

00:19:22.000 You're going to tap your card, you're going to walk up and go boop, and then they're going to be like, thank you sir, and they're going to hold out the keypad, and you're going to go boop, and you're going to type in the number.

00:19:30.000 That's actually interesting.

00:19:32.000 I wonder if the global elites are trying to eliminate that kind of thing, pen handling.

00:19:37.000 I mean, maybe you'll...

00:19:39.000 Hand them a bottle of water or a sandwich.

00:19:41.000 Well in my city there are sometimes homeless people who have like a cash app thing out on their side.

00:19:46.000 No.

00:19:46.000 Yeah.

00:19:48.000 No.

00:19:48.000 Yep.

00:19:49.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:19:49.000 There's no way.

00:19:50.000 Cash app.

00:19:50.000 No, I'm not kidding.

00:19:51.000 Yes.

00:19:52.000 And then people walk up with their phones.

00:19:53.000 The thing is like there are a lot of homeless people who just have like really cheap smartphones nowadays.

00:19:57.000 So they'll get like a $20 phone from cricket or something or whatever the inexpensive phone provider is now.

00:20:03.000 You're talking about down in Georgia?

00:20:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:20:06.000 So you're saying I could go to a big city and just sit in a lawn chair and put up a sign with a cash app and say, give me money, and then people will just send me money.

00:20:14.000 Yeah, you look the role.

00:20:15.000 We should, you know, we should do, we should put a cash app thing on Timcast, like right down here in the corner and just like, please give me your money.

00:20:23.000 I know this isn't on the docket, but did you guys read this report?

00:20:25.000 It was like a month ago or something about how Cash App and the entire, what's the name of it?

00:20:29.000 It's not Square anymore.

00:20:30.000 It's like Cube or something like that.

00:20:31.000 Whatever the company is, Jack Dorsey's company.

00:20:33.000 I think it's still square.

00:20:34.000 Is it still square?

00:20:34.000 Yeah, cubes might be a different one.

00:20:35.000 Okay.

00:20:36.000 The entire app is basically, like, most of its revenue comes from, like, sex trafficking, drug dealing, gun running.

00:20:45.000 Wait, wait, Jack Dorsey, wait, what is this?

00:20:47.000 It was a very exhaustive report about how Cash App is just built straight up on black market activity.

00:20:54.000 We have to make Cash App safe for the black market, which is why we're banning all legal activity on Cash App.

00:21:01.000 So wait, wait, wait, Cash App Where did you find this?

00:21:05.000 It was this report that was issued that they took issue with, but the report was very detailed.

00:21:09.000 I read a lot of it.

00:21:11.000 It was exhaustive.

00:21:12.000 I didn't read the whole thing.

00:21:13.000 I've got square shares.

00:21:15.000 I've got a handful of them.

00:21:15.000 Yeah, you should read that report.

00:21:17.000 Oh.

00:21:18.000 It was like, I don't know, it was maybe like 10 years ago or something, or 8 years ago?

00:21:22.000 Someone told me this rich dude who lived in New York, I was hanging out with Max Keiser and he was just like, you got to buy square stock because everything's going digital transactions.

00:21:29.000 And I was like, okay, I guess.

00:21:31.000 And then I bought a little bit and then it like went tenfold in value.

00:21:34.000 I was like, wow.

00:21:35.000 The other thing I remember in this report is that there's all these rappers who are straight up bragging about it in their raps.

00:21:41.000 So they're like, they're like another thing that it funds is a lot of like, like hitmen are hired via cash app.

00:21:46.000 And there's these rappers who, some of whom have been charged with murder after reciting these lyrics, who are like, hit me on Cash App!

00:21:53.000 And they're talking about doing hits on people through Cash App.

00:21:56.000 Oh my gosh!

00:21:58.000 And then Jack Dorsey, I think I remember from this report, at one point in an interview was talking about how grateful he is to all the publicity he's gotten from these rappers.

00:22:08.000 Oh my gosh, this is the guy who thinks that using the offensive pronouns for person on Twitter makes them unsafe, and he's like, come use my murder app.

00:22:18.000 You'll be able to find somebody.

00:22:21.000 So let's talk about somebody else who's losing money.

00:22:22.000 Check this out.

00:22:23.000 From the Post Millennial, Fox loses $1 billion after parting ways with Tucker Carlson.

00:22:29.000 The Fox Corporation stock plummeted as much as 5% on Monday, wiping out $930 million in market value following the announcement that Fox News had parted ways with Tucker Carlson.

00:22:40.000 According to Business Insider, shares of the media company recovered slightly after, so it ended up at like $29.

00:22:46.000 The decision to part ways with Carlson announced less than a week after the Fox Corporation diminued

00:22:51.000 voting systems blah blah blah.

00:22:52.000 Carlson was one of the network's most popular hosts blah blah blah. You know I saw some really

00:22:56.000 interesting commentary from Glenn Greenwald. You want to know what he said? How come the

00:22:59.000 left doesn't care about Hannity? How come the left doesn't complain about Hannity or Laura Ingram? 0.89

00:23:04.000 And he said it's because Tucker's the only one who was anti-war and anti-Big Pharma.

00:23:09.000 So the left went after him and completely ignores the safe GOP.

00:23:14.000 And that's what Fox News wants to be.

00:23:15.000 They don't want Tucker Carlson coming out here and saying these things.

00:23:18.000 They want someone to go on and just be like, big corporations are great!

00:23:21.000 Everybody just do what the government says.

00:23:23.000 Exactly.

00:23:24.000 They would love that if Tucker went on and was like, the left wants you to think that these corporations are doing bad things to America.

00:23:28.000 They're our best friends, actually.

00:23:30.000 They do great things.

00:23:31.000 Pfizer and Moderna.

00:23:32.000 Thank you.

00:23:34.000 But I sort of mentioned this yesterday, that CNN is the network that tells you what you're supposed to believe, and then Fox is the network that tells you what you're allowed to believe.

00:23:42.000 So if you don't want to buy into what CNN is saying, they'll push you over to Fox, and that's still within the realm of acceptable opinion, but Tucker's a little bridge too far.

00:23:51.000 Yeah, he's a bridge a little too far for them.

00:23:52.000 Bridge too far, man.

00:23:53.000 Yeah.

00:23:54.000 Yeah.

00:23:54.000 He actually says something.

00:23:56.000 You know, cable news commentators, they're all buzzwords.

00:23:59.000 Apparently now they got this thing, he launched this thing on his website where it's like you can text some number to, like, Tucker to 4-4 or something or whatever, and then they'll send you information on what he's planning to do or something like that.

00:24:09.000 Oh, really?

00:24:09.000 Yeah, it's like you'll get notified when he announces his next big move or whatever.

00:24:14.000 I think Tucker Carlson's gonna end up making 100 million bucks a year off this termination.

00:24:19.000 Fox, if Fox was paying him, I think they say, like if you Google it, it says his salary is 35 million.

00:24:25.000 Imagine how much Fox needs to make off of his show in order to pay him 35 million dollars a year.

00:24:30.000 And run Fox, yeah, yeah.

00:24:32.000 That's kind of crazy, though.

00:24:33.000 I mean, I don't understand how they pay. 0.88

00:24:36.000 I think Hannity gets like 60 million or some other ridiculous number.

00:24:39.000 Hannity was getting paid more than Tucker.

00:24:41.000 Oh, yeah.

00:24:42.000 I mean, he has seniority.

00:24:42.000 Really?

00:24:43.000 He does have seniority, but I imagine Tucker's a much bigger draw to the network.

00:24:46.000 Well, Tucker just wasn't bringing in a lot of advertising money.

00:24:49.000 Ah, that makes sense.

00:24:50.000 They all boycotted him.

00:24:50.000 Yes.

00:24:51.000 Well, according to the same website, Hannity was getting a comparable salary.

00:24:56.000 Good.

00:24:57.000 Yeah, he was getting $34,000,000 plus a $5,000,000 bonus.

00:24:59.000 I don't think Hannity should make more than Tucker. 0.86

00:25:02.000 Absolutely not.

00:25:02.000 Are you kidding me?

00:25:03.000 But I don't trust these websites.

00:25:05.000 Celebrity net worth as a salary is $45,000,000.

00:25:07.000 I read somewhere that he was getting $60,000,000.

00:25:09.000 This one says he gets $25,000,000.

00:25:10.000 These websites are all fake.

00:25:14.000 All the people doing these like end zone dances about Tucker being fired from Fox like didn't we just go through this a couple years ago when Barry Weiss would left the New York Times and the same people were doing the same end zone dances and then she went on to create the Free Press which is like dwarfs any Oh, and she's probably so rich now.

00:25:32.000 Absolutely.

00:25:33.000 I mean, I think she already comes from like a well-off family, and now the rich have gotten richer because the New York Times decided to unleash her.

00:25:39.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:25:40.000 So imagine Tucker Carlson, he's gonna like 10x that, right?

00:25:44.000 You gotta make a video, you gotta make a cartoon about like Tucker Scrooge McDuck.

00:25:48.000 I'm just getting a bunch of money.

00:25:50.000 Look, I hope that's what happens.

00:25:51.000 I appreciate the optimism I'm seeing from a lot of conservatives on this.

00:25:54.000 Part of my concern is, and I voiced this yesterday, is that because Fox tells people what is acceptable, it was great to have Tucker there to help shift that Overton window and introduce a new audience to ideas that the rest of us are familiar with or have been reading up about online, but that that audience wouldn't give credibility to seeing it on the internet as opposed to cable television.

00:26:14.000 I certainly have no doubt that Tucker Carlson's going to be extremely successful.

00:26:19.000 He's going to be fine. It's a question of, is his message going to spread as far and wide?

00:26:23.000 I hope so. I'm not saying it won't. I'm just saying that having that platform was definitely

00:26:27.000 very good for America. Having someone on cable television saying the things Tucker was saying

00:26:30.000 was very good for America. I think they also had to pay out his contract.

00:26:33.000 Meaning if he was getting, like, they can't just sever his contract.

00:26:37.000 So I imagine they went to him and said, we're terminating your show, and he was like, then you owe me 30 million dollars for the rest of the year, and they went, okay.

00:26:43.000 Had to cut him a check.

00:26:44.000 Well, apparently they- they- he found out 10 minutes before they made the announcement.

00:26:48.000 So they had to have just paid him.

00:26:49.000 Right.

00:26:50.000 Because you- Unless they're like, this is the crazy thing about these contracts with these big networks, is they give themselves morality clauses to terminate you in violation of what the contract is supposed to do.

00:27:01.000 It's like, hey, we're gonna hire you for three years, we're gonna pay you X amount of dollars for three years.

00:27:05.000 Then buried in it says, we can fire you for this specific reason, then they just wait until they can justify whatever that reason is, and then you're gone and they don't pay you for it.

00:27:11.000 But, I imagine they're paying Tucker.

00:27:15.000 I imagine they just wrote a big, fat, eight-figure paycheck to Tucker Carlson.

00:27:20.000 And he doesn't have to work.

00:27:22.000 What's he gonna do?

00:27:23.000 Is Tucker Carlson like the heir to the O. Henry candy bar fortune or something?

00:27:28.000 He married into the TV dinner fortune.

00:27:32.000 Oh, so his wife is the heiress to Swanson TV dinners.

00:27:36.000 Something like that.

00:27:37.000 Yeah, the Al Henry thing, that was a Seinfeld reference.

00:27:39.000 Wow.

00:27:40.000 But you're not old enough to understand Seinfeld.

00:27:41.000 No, of course.

00:27:42.000 Only 90s kids remember.

00:27:43.000 That's right.

00:27:44.000 Is that what you're telling me?

00:27:44.000 Did he come from some kind of prominent family himself?

00:27:46.000 I'm not sure.

00:27:47.000 I don't know.

00:27:48.000 Yeah, the Vanderbilts.

00:27:49.000 Oh wait, that's Anderson Cooper.

00:27:50.000 Oh! 0.60

00:27:52.000 Snap.

00:27:53.000 And then he got a summer internship at the CIA, which he abruptly left and then went to, I think, Iraq to report on the Iraq war, and then got a job working for CNN.

00:28:02.000 Anderson Cooper had a still at the CIA?

00:28:06.000 I think it was for two years, a summer internship.

00:28:08.000 Do you ever leave the CIA?

00:28:09.000 No, you don't.

00:28:10.000 Hey, well, there you go.

00:28:12.000 I was hanging out with Luke Brodkowski once and we were in, I think we were in Atlanta or something.

00:28:16.000 And then he saw Anderson Cooper and he ran up and he was like, Anderson, Anderson, you work for the CIA!

00:28:21.000 And then I was like, Luke, what are you doing?

00:28:24.000 Like, what does that accomplish?

00:28:25.000 And Anderson was just like, what are you talking about?

00:28:27.000 And like walked off.

00:28:28.000 Because the saying is, once CIA, always CIA, you know?

00:28:30.000 Yeah.

00:28:31.000 I mean, I think the way it works is that you're not, you might not be on the payroll, but you're an asset, right?

00:28:37.000 There's like, there's informal relationships.

00:28:39.000 You might not even realize you're an asset, but you've got relationships.

00:28:43.000 They cultivate relationships in you.

00:28:45.000 Then, you know, they maintain those relationships.

00:28:47.000 Well, I want to ask the audience here.

00:28:49.000 We have this other story from Post Millennial.

00:28:50.000 Subscribers ditch Fox Nation or Tucker Carlson leaves network.

00:28:54.000 Quote, just cancelled my Fox Nation subscription.

00:28:57.000 No point in having it without Tucker Carlson originals.

00:29:00.000 Is anybody who watches this show subscribed to Fox Nation?

00:29:04.000 I did see comments in the, or I saw people chatting in, like, I cancelled my Fox Nation subscription.

00:29:09.000 So there was some overlap.

00:29:12.000 Yeah.

00:29:13.000 Maybe not anymore?

00:29:14.000 Maybe they all cancelled?

00:29:15.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:29:15.000 I'm just kind of thinking, like, why is all this happening at once?

00:29:19.000 ABC News fired—Disney fired Nate Silver.

00:29:23.000 BuzzFeed News shut down.

00:29:24.000 Don Lemon.

00:29:25.000 Yeah, Don Lemon's fired.

00:29:26.000 Tucker Carlson's out.

00:29:29.000 There's, like, some coordinated thing.

00:29:31.000 Is it a global conspiracy? 0.98

00:29:32.000 Are they trying to turn the frogs gay or something? 0.99

00:29:34.000 Probably, yeah. 0.96

00:29:35.000 That's got to be behind it at some point.

00:29:36.000 I mean, I don't exactly know how it twists and turns to get us to that point, but I think that's a safe bet.

00:29:42.000 I mean, isn't this just kind of a reckoning?

00:29:45.000 Both the legacy media and these new upstart media outlets that came out around 2013 or so, you know, your Vices and your BuzzFeeds and stuff.

00:29:54.000 I mean, the legacy media has been on the deathbed for a long time, and those New Jack ones have too.

00:30:00.000 I mean, they've been like, maybe they had a little bit of lead time over the cable news channels, but like, I mean, does anybody read BuzzFeed News?

00:30:09.000 Does anybody?

00:30:09.000 Yes, that's where I get all of my information.

00:30:12.000 BuzzFeed News.

00:30:12.000 I spoke with somebody earlier today who expressed some concerns of, well, they know a lot of people within the Republican establishment who are sort of expressing some concerns over Whether or not the audience that Tucker had on Fox is actually going to follow him to a smaller network or an independent network or any of his next projects.

00:30:28.000 So maybe they're just sort of trying to take him off the board again ahead of the 2024 election.

00:30:32.000 He's too big of a figure to cancel completely, but the thinking is that some of the people who watched him on Fox may not follow him to any other platform and get the information that he was putting out.

00:30:41.000 That's my fear, and that's basically what I was saying yesterday.

00:30:45.000 I think the basic conversation is that Brian Kilmeade is going to be a much more based version of Tucker Carlson.

00:30:52.000 Everyone thinks Brian Kilmeade is the new Tucker.

00:30:55.000 Yeah, that's what I keep hearing the kids say on Twitter.com.

00:30:59.000 I guess it doesn't work.

00:31:00.000 It's not funny because no one knows who Brian Kilmeade is, but he's not Tucker Carlson.

00:31:04.000 Jesse Watters was at the number two show, right? 0.97

00:31:06.000 Yeah, why don't they put Jesse in that slut? 1.00

00:31:10.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:10.000 Does anybody have a reason? 1.00

00:31:12.000 I don't know.

00:31:12.000 I couldn't tell you why they should or shouldn't.

00:31:14.000 They should just not put anyone in that slot and just put dead air.

00:31:18.000 Exactly.

00:31:20.000 And now, a moment of silence.

00:31:22.000 For the next hour.

00:31:23.000 For the next hour, in memory of Tucker Carlson.

00:31:26.000 And then it just shows black and white pictures of him with sad piano music playing, like, Tucker Carlson, year of birth to 2023.

00:31:32.000 So that's what they're going to do to convince the audience, like, he's dead, don't follow him anywhere.

00:31:38.000 We never said he was dead.

00:31:39.000 You can't take us to court, but they just mislead the audience into thinking he's dead so that they can effectively cancel him.

00:31:45.000 So I guess we have this video from Ocasio-Cortez.

00:31:49.000 I'll play for you.

00:31:50.000 I'm sorry that I have to do this to you, but we'll play it anyway.

00:31:54.000 Is there no sound?

00:31:54.000 Out at Fox News.

00:31:56.000 Here we go.

00:31:57.000 Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News.

00:32:01.000 Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

00:32:07.000 What I will say, though, is while I'm very glad that the person that was arguably responsible for the Some of the largest, driving some of the most amounts of death threats and violent threats, not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country.

00:32:25.000 I also kind of feel like I'm, like, waiting for the cutscene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled.

00:32:34.000 Wow!

00:32:35.000 And then you see, like, the villain's, like, hand re-emerge out to grip over, like, the end of a building or something.

00:32:47.000 Remember when Captain America de-platformed the Red Skull in Marvel?

00:32:53.000 It's just like Marvel, you guys!

00:32:55.000 It's like the Avengers!

00:32:58.000 A giant, corrupt corporation fired him for speaking out against corporations and corporations and superheroes, bro!

00:33:06.000 Oh my goodness.

00:33:07.000 Oh my goodness.

00:33:08.000 What I found fascinating about this is that she's celebrating an anti-war personality being removed from a major corporate network.

00:33:17.000 And she doesn't care at all about Hannity or Laura Ingraham or any of their other personalities.

00:33:21.000 That's what I'm saying, you'd think she'd be able to see, okay, Tucker does have right-wing politics, and that's bad and scary.

00:33:27.000 But you know what?

00:33:27.000 Everyone else on Fox does as well, and Tucker is also anti-war, and he speaks out against corporate greed, but she is on the side of a lot of the corporations that he speaks out against, so it's not convenient, and I don't really think she's all that anti-war.

00:33:40.000 Tucker Carlson had that famous moment where he was doing the handoff with Hannity, And he was complaining about Amazon exploiting its workers or something like that.

00:33:48.000 Yes, and him and Hannity argued.

00:33:49.000 He's like, well, some people like the free market, Tucker.

00:33:52.000 And he's like, oh, no, but I'm saying.

00:33:54.000 And he talks more like this.

00:33:55.000 Some people want a good product from Amazon.

00:33:57.000 They're allowed to buy it.

00:33:58.000 And Tucker goes.

00:34:00.000 For those that are just listening, I made a face. 1.00

00:34:01.000 So he's like, excuse me, idiot says what? 1.00

00:34:03.000 And he's like, what? 1.00

00:34:04.000 And he's like, he just said he's an idiot. 1.00

00:34:05.000 You heard it, America. 1.00

00:34:06.000 And then he goes, Tucker, you said what in order to say that I was saying what?

00:34:10.000 And then Tucker was like, oops.

00:34:12.000 And then that's what Tucker was like.

00:34:15.000 Screwed it out.

00:34:15.000 But in all seriousness though, I think that was a moment where it was fairly obvious Tucker was getting the views and they liked it, but he was at odds with the GOP machine.

00:34:27.000 I wonder if this play is more so because they want to get away from Trump and away from MAGA.

00:34:33.000 Like, people were saying it's clearly about the Dominion lawsuit.

00:34:35.000 It's like, well, Hannity and other personalities were talking a lot about the same thing, too.

00:34:39.000 And Tucker actually was rejecting the 2020 narrative from Trump.

00:34:44.000 And he got attacked for it by Trump supporters.

00:34:47.000 That's what I'm so confused about.

00:34:48.000 Like, if it was about the election, why would they not have gotten rid of Maria Bartiromo?

00:34:55.000 Yeah, she was way more into that.

00:34:58.000 Could he just be the first domino?

00:35:01.000 I mean, it would be, I gotta be honest, it would be like the coolest thing ever if, like, within the next two weeks, every single Fox personality is fired.

00:35:08.000 Except Sean Hannity.

00:35:09.000 He's the only guy there.

00:35:10.000 Gets to fill all 24 hours.

00:35:11.000 He's like, I'm not sleeping anymore!

00:35:15.000 Now he knows how the Amazon workers feel, he's just never sleeping and he's like, maybe there should be labor laws or something, I don't know.

00:35:21.000 Maybe I need a union or something.

00:35:23.000 Today's 24 hour cycle is brought to you by Modafinil.

00:35:27.000 Do you guys know what Modafinil is?

00:35:28.000 No.

00:35:29.000 It's what snipers and astronauts take.

00:35:31.000 It's a pill that makes so you don't go to sleep.

00:35:33.000 Oh my gosh.

00:35:33.000 Yeah, I took it for... It's like a narcolepsy drug in the 60s in France.

00:35:36.000 I took that from a ranger actually.

00:35:38.000 Yeah.

00:35:39.000 And I think the brand name is ProVigil or something.

00:35:42.000 And apparently you don't go to sleep if you take it.

00:35:44.000 How many times can you take it before you die?

00:35:46.000 I honestly don't know. Like, I don't know enough about it, but like truckers do it illegally or something.

00:35:52.000 But like, astronauts and snipers actually use it and you just stay awake.

00:35:57.000 Wow.

00:35:58.000 Yeah, I don't know, Serge. Do you know how long you can take it before dying?

00:36:00.000 It's not that nice to take.

00:36:02.000 It doesn't have, like, abuse potential.

00:36:04.000 It makes you feel, like, terrible.

00:36:06.000 Like, your skin gets super dry.

00:36:07.000 So I wouldn't, you know, it's not a party drug.

00:36:08.000 It's not like Adderall or anything like that.

00:36:10.000 I like meth.

00:36:11.000 Yeah, not like, not like meth.

00:36:13.000 I don't know.

00:36:14.000 I don't imagine I'd take that much.

00:36:16.000 You'd probably die pretty quick, actually.

00:36:18.000 It's very strong.

00:36:19.000 Wow, good to know.

00:36:20.000 So what is it?

00:36:22.000 It's like for people who can't sleep properly, they have narcolepsy or whatever?

00:36:25.000 Yeah, if you have narcolepsy, it just keeps you awake during the daytime, so you don't fall asleep while you're taking it, basically.

00:36:31.000 I don't know what it does.

00:36:33.000 Well, ladies and gentlemen, Ocasio-Cortez was celebrating the departure of Tucker Carlson, but one other institution was also celebrating.

00:36:41.000 The Pentagon!

00:36:42.000 From Politico, good riddance!

00:36:43.000 Pentagon officials cheer Tucker Carlson's ouster.

00:36:46.000 It's just like Avengers.

00:36:47.000 It's just so much like the Avengers movies that I like.

00:36:50.000 Hey guys, this is like those movies I saw once about the superheroes.

00:36:54.000 Which one?

00:36:55.000 Were they Avenge?

00:36:57.000 No, The Boys, where Homelander's Trump and he kills a protester and they cheer for it.

00:37:02.000 I never saw that.

00:37:03.000 You didn't see The Boys?

00:37:04.000 Spoiler, I guess.

00:37:05.000 Yeah, dude, you ruined it.

00:37:07.000 I really recommend the show because it's hilarious, but it's very obvious that... So it's basically like Justice League, Batman, Superman, etc.

00:37:15.000 But they make the characters flawed or something like that.

00:37:18.000 And Homelander, basically Superman, is Trump.

00:37:21.000 And so he has rallies and stuff like that.

00:37:22.000 He's political.

00:37:23.000 And it's like, the show didn't start this way.

00:37:25.000 But the crazy thing is, I'm pretty sure the character Stormfront, a literal Nazi, is Laura Loomer.

00:37:32.000 Oh my god.

00:37:33.000 We talked about it before.

00:37:34.000 It makes sense.

00:37:34.000 But I'm not exaggerating.

00:37:35.000 Like, I think they actually tried getting a character who looked like her and made the character Stormfront and then were trying to, like, basically... I don't think the show was directly making a statement about Laura Loomer.

00:37:47.000 I think they were inspired by the media reports.

00:37:49.000 I mean, she doesn't look like her.

00:37:50.000 The character Stormfront?

00:37:51.000 She's hot. 1.00

00:37:53.000 But the character looks like Laura Loomer.

00:37:55.000 The character Stormfront.

00:37:56.000 Like, similar stature.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:57.000 The actress.

00:37:59.000 And then they said, I think now we have, like, the reporting is, they actually were trying to base Homelander off Trump.

00:38:06.000 But here's the thing, in the show, Homelander at the end of the last season is like, he's got a song with him and he's at a rally, and then some liberal throws a water bottle, hits his kid, and then Homelander just laser beams him and blows him up or whatever, and then everyone cheers for it.

00:38:21.000 And I'm like, I'm fairly certain that if Donald Trump did do something like that, people would not be cheering.

00:38:27.000 Sorry, it's just not reality. 0.92

00:38:28.000 No, he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. 0.87

00:38:30.000 No one would care. 0.52

00:38:32.000 If Donald Trump did go out on Fifth Avenue with a gun and shot somebody, Trump supporters would be like, what happened?

00:38:38.000 Why did this happen?

00:38:39.000 If Donald Trump went on a murderous rampage, people would be like, yo, I don't know about all that.

00:38:45.000 But like the way the liberals view it is they make this TV show where Trump is basically Superman, which is also a weird insinuation to make.

00:38:51.000 Like they think Trump is literally Superman and they don't like it.

00:38:54.000 And then he kills a guy and they think Trump supporters are like, yay!

00:38:58.000 They live in a very, very strange, scary world.

00:39:00.000 But anyway, before Seamus got all excited about superheroes... The point is, in an interview, AOC was asked about if America's heading for another civil war, and she's like, well, there's a part of history that's similar to this.

00:39:12.000 Captain America, when him and Iron Man fought in the... I'm sorry, I'm not gonna let go of this.

00:39:17.000 This is ridiculous. 0.90

00:39:18.000 Elected leaders referencing Marvel movies. 0.97

00:39:22.000 It's our common language now.

00:39:23.000 This is the state religion.

00:39:24.000 It's a bizarre, pop-cultural polytheism. 0.99

00:39:27.000 And they look to these superheroes like it's their pantheon of gods, and it's extremely embarrassing and pathetic. 0.99

00:39:33.000 Their pantheon. 0.82

00:39:35.000 Well, so the story is, the Pentagon is also there with AOC.

00:39:35.000 It is?

00:39:39.000 And my point was, AOC was supposed to be this insurgent character who was coming into the Democrat Party and being like, I am here for young people and we don't like the machine!

00:39:49.000 And now she's like, woo, Pentagon! 0.83

00:39:51.000 We're in this together!

00:39:53.000 So, you know.

00:39:53.000 Yeah, they're on the same team.

00:39:55.000 It's Captain America!

00:39:56.000 We came together!

00:39:58.000 To be fair, Captain America was a D.O.D.

00:39:59.000 project.

00:40:00.000 Nuh-uh.

00:40:01.000 Yeah, the U.S.

00:40:02.000 government.

00:40:02.000 No, that is true.

00:40:03.000 No, I know!

00:40:03.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:40:05.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:40:06.000 That's how it gets into their heads, right?

00:40:09.000 It's very industrial military complex-y.

00:40:10.000 James, you gotta let it go.

00:40:11.000 No, you're right.

00:40:12.000 No, but here's a fun fact.

00:40:13.000 You know, so before World War II, superheroes usually just kind of, like, solved problems in their own communities in the comics.

00:40:20.000 Like, they would beat someone up who was doing bad things in their cities.

00:40:22.000 And then it was during World War II that they started making all the comics about, like, the superhero saving the world.

00:40:27.000 Yeah, so the industrial military complex changed the narrative of superheroes.

00:40:32.000 I don't know if, I'm not saying it was a concerted effort by them, but the military industrial complex, whatever we want to call it today, Tim.

00:40:38.000 My point is just that the war effort changed the way that people saw superheroes, which I find interesting.

00:40:46.000 Yeah.

00:40:47.000 And they're a convenient propaganda tool, which is why we're in love with them again.

00:40:53.000 It was trending.

00:40:54.000 I guess RT offered Tucker a job.

00:40:57.000 Wow.

00:40:59.000 He should take it.

00:41:00.000 Wait, you mean, like, within the last day?

00:41:03.000 Yeah, I think that was the reporting.

00:41:04.000 I mean, let me pull it up.

00:41:05.000 And the left was like, this proves it!

00:41:09.000 Let's check it out.

00:41:10.000 Tucker Carlson offered jobs at... Okay, let's get out of here with this stupid video. 1.00

00:41:16.000 Tucker Carlson is out of Fox News, but welcome on Russian TV. 0.99

00:41:19.000 The ousted anchor was offered work by the state-run news channel in Moscow that echo much of his conspiratorial rhetoric on the war in Ukraine.

00:41:26.000 Wait, what's the byline on this?

00:41:27.000 Is it Ben Collins?

00:41:28.000 Patrick Smith.

00:41:29.000 Oh, Ben Collins.

00:41:32.000 That dude once made up a fake story about me.

00:41:34.000 What?

00:41:35.000 Yeah, yeah, he made up a fake story.

00:41:36.000 I can't remember exactly what it was, and then the Today Show ran it.

00:41:39.000 What was it?

00:41:40.000 It was, um, I can't remember the exact story, but they included somebody, some leftist activist, this is my understanding of what happened, made a super, you know how they have those activists who will take clips of you and then mash them together to make it seem like you said something different?

00:41:54.000 But they're meant to be humorous, so it'd be like a weird color.

00:41:56.000 It's like someone made a video accusing me of saying a thing that was like out of context and combined with other things, and then he ran the story, and then it got picked up by a bunch of other outlets.

00:42:05.000 that ran it saying like, hey, you can't get mad at us, NBC News reported it. NBC News then removed

00:42:09.000 the citation. So it created a dead citation. So a bunch of other media outlets were all referencing

00:42:15.000 each other, referencing something with no source. That's how they play the game.

00:42:20.000 Ben Collins wrote a piece, I wish I could remember which piece it was. It was something about Russian

00:42:23.000 disinformation and bots that in the Twitter files, Michael Schellenberger found the email where

00:42:28.000 they're like, Yul Roth, the head of trust and safety, is calling bullshit on this story about

00:42:33.000 Ben Collins, like in the emails, he's like, this is fraudulent.

00:42:36.000 This is there's nothing here.

00:42:37.000 This is complete propaganda. That was Ben Collins story. He hasn't retracted yet.

00:42:43.000 Well, I'm looking forward to the rest of the media collapsing.

00:42:45.000 Yeah.

00:42:46.000 Bye.

00:42:47.000 The rest of the what?

00:42:48.000 Oh, the rest of the afternoon.

00:42:48.000 The rest of the meeting.

00:42:49.000 Seamus, are you just daydreaming over there?

00:42:50.000 I was.

00:42:51.000 I was thinking about the Avengers films.

00:42:52.000 How much I love them.

00:42:52.000 Potatoes?

00:42:54.000 I was thinking about the time you had a potato on the show while I was gone and put my name on the title.

00:42:54.000 Yeah, I was thinking about potatoes.

00:42:59.000 That was great.

00:43:00.000 Had a potato on the show.

00:43:01.000 I'm suing.

00:43:02.000 It's funny because we did that.

00:43:03.000 They literally did that to me.

00:43:04.000 They're bad friends.

00:43:05.000 Yeah, we put a potato in that chair. 0.98

00:43:07.000 And then we put Seamus in the title card and put a picture of the potato.

00:43:11.000 It's hilarious.

00:43:12.000 I am curious about this, though, right?

00:43:14.000 So what happens from here?

00:43:15.000 Let's say all of traditional media collapses.

00:43:18.000 I mean, does the government and the deep state and the corporate world all give up and go, I guess we lost?

00:43:24.000 I mean, no, they'll infiltrate social media because big tech already leans in their direction.

00:43:30.000 Like Skrulls.

00:43:31.000 The shapeshifting aliens from the Marvel movies.

00:43:33.000 That's exactly, yes, thank you so much.

00:43:36.000 That's exactly what I was thinking.

00:43:37.000 They already have that apparatus constructed in social media.

00:43:41.000 That's what we've been reporting on with the censorship industrial complex.

00:43:44.000 I mean, they've got every platform, basically, except for Twitter at this point because of Elon Musk's takeover.

00:43:49.000 So like, yeah, if it reverts to social media, It's not a problem for them.

00:43:53.000 But let me ask you about this.

00:43:54.000 Is Elon being, like, do you have free reign?

00:43:57.000 Are you able to just access the files or is Elon, like, dripping them out to you and giving you selective information?

00:44:02.000 Definitely not the latter.

00:44:02.000 No, no, no.

00:44:03.000 How it worked was we would go in there and then we would ask for searches.

00:44:08.000 So we'd say, do a search on, you know, this is an enormous trove of files.

00:44:13.000 So every email, every Slack message.

00:44:16.000 So we'd have to say, let's, I want to see the emails from, all the emails from Vajayagadi between this date and this date, you know, say a five day span or something.

00:44:27.000 And then they would go and run the search.

00:44:29.000 They would go to another room and run the search.

00:44:31.000 And the reason why they were doing this stuff in another room is because they were extremely paranoid about our seeing any user data, because that's a serious liability for Twitter.

00:44:39.000 So they had to do everything they could to make absolutely sure that what we were getting back was just internal stuff, nothing with user data.

00:44:46.000 And then when they would come back with thousands of emails, thousands of Slack messages, depending upon what we're asking for, and then we'd spend days going through them.

00:44:56.000 So there was no way for, I've heard the accusations that they were like, Well, I like what they're doing, but I think Elon needs to hire an internal liaison.

00:45:07.000 Basically, they need to hire you directly for Twitter so that you, as an employee, are able to see user data.

00:45:13.000 Then you can choose what to search for without limitation.

00:45:17.000 It's very, very difficult to know what you don't know.

00:45:21.000 It's impossible to know what to look for if you don't know what exists.

00:45:25.000 And so a good component about going through these documents is going to be just sifting through at random raw data and

00:45:31.000 then finding threads.

00:45:32.000 But without being able to access that system and peruse it, you don't know what to search for.

00:45:37.000 So what's happening now with the Twitter files is, I think you guys are scratching the surface.

00:45:42.000 Yeah, a lot of the information is damning, but it's what we expect.

00:45:46.000 What about searching for something that no one thought to search for?

00:45:49.000 You know what I mean?

00:45:50.000 I wouldn't know!

00:45:51.000 That's the challenge.

00:45:52.000 So, like, this is also the issue with the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:45:56.000 People don't know what to look for, so they've just—it took them a year to find certain stories.

00:46:00.000 We had stories from, uh...

00:46:02.000 The Daily Mail coming out exclusive Hunter Biden laptop reveals, you know, Joe Biden was involved in this deal and like a year after the laptop came out because you have to go through, you know, 50,000 emails and then you have to find the context.

00:46:14.000 So there might be an email being like, hey, I confirmed that meeting with the big guy you asked about.

00:46:19.000 Then you can't search for Joe Biden doing deals.

00:46:22.000 You can't search for corruption.

00:46:23.000 You can't search.

00:46:24.000 You can search for the big guy.

00:46:26.000 Then you can find an email being like, hey, we're on for tonight at 10 p.m.

00:46:28.000 See you there.

00:46:29.000 And then you're like, who's this guy?

00:46:30.000 What is he doing?

00:46:31.000 If you went to someone with a laptop and said, search for Joe Biden in the emails, you wouldn't find that one.

00:46:37.000 But that one, combined with another one, proves he was involved in certain business dealings, which is, you know, news that came out a year later.

00:46:44.000 Right.

00:46:44.000 So this is the challenge with the censorship stuff, because it's probably worse than we realize.

00:46:48.000 How do we search through this stuff?

00:46:50.000 So you go to them with search criteria.

00:46:52.000 How do you know that what you're getting back is the complete picture?

00:46:55.000 How do you know it's all the information that's available when they hand you a little dossier of, let's say, 2,000 documents?

00:47:00.000 How do you know it's not 3,000 or 4,000?

00:47:02.000 Well, so first of all, it's important to know that when we came into the Twitter files, Elon Musk had just taken over the company.

00:47:09.000 He didn't know what was in these emails.

00:47:12.000 He hadn't been there.

00:47:13.000 The people running the searches were people who were brought in from Tesla and SpaceX because he'd fired half the staff of Twitter.

00:47:19.000 And later on, he fired some more.

00:47:21.000 And he replaced them with people from his other companies.

00:47:23.000 And so they had no idea.

00:47:25.000 They were trying to hold this company together with duct tape and bubble gum while running these very time-intensive searches for us.

00:47:33.000 They didn't actually want to be helping us.

00:47:35.000 They wanted to be doing their regular jobs, but this was kind of a task to them.

00:47:39.000 So first of all, nobody knew what was in there before we saw it.

00:47:43.000 I mean, maybe some old guard Twitter people, but all these folks were new, were just as fresh to this as we were.

00:47:49.000 And then it would be obvious if there was stuff missing because we would see email threads that would just suddenly No, we saw no evidence of anything missing.

00:48:00.000 Like, you would expect to see email threads starting with nothing, like, out of the blue.

00:48:08.000 Is Elon still giving you access to all the files?

00:48:10.000 Not at the present moment, but we hope to be back in.

00:48:12.000 Why not?

00:48:14.000 I don't know.

00:48:14.000 I mean, he's Elon.

00:48:16.000 But like, he's like, okay guys, no more searching.

00:48:18.000 Have a nice day.

00:48:18.000 No, it was more like we did our searches, we did our reporting.

00:48:22.000 We hope to have an opportunity to go back in.

00:48:27.000 That would obviously be at his invitation.

00:48:30.000 We can't go in there without him.

00:48:32.000 But that's not at this particular moment.

00:48:34.000 We hope to be back in.

00:48:35.000 Did you ask to search for Alex Jones?

00:48:38.000 We did not do that search.

00:48:40.000 That's an interesting one to do.

00:48:41.000 But that's also part of my point, like, without being able to just get free reign, so much is limited, and the Alex Jones thing could prove collusion between the networks at the same time.

00:48:50.000 Yeah.

00:48:51.000 I mean, we did have free reign while we were in there, and we hope to be back in there, but to your point, yeah, we would need to be in there camped out for months.

00:48:58.000 I mean, like, here's a hard drive, start digging.

00:49:00.000 You didn't have that.

00:49:01.000 Well, no, but I don't know that.

00:49:02.000 I understand why.

00:49:03.000 Yeah.

00:49:03.000 I mean, well, first of all, because of the user data thing.

00:49:06.000 Right.

00:49:06.000 And I don't think they can just separate that.

00:49:08.000 Also, this is a massive amount of data.

00:49:11.000 It's like we're running searches on it.

00:49:13.000 It's all the emails, all the Slack messages at Twitter for years.

00:49:16.000 You know, this is like, it's not like you can just put it on an external hard drive.

00:49:20.000 So this is one of the issues I took with I don't blame Elon Musk for his selection in journalists.

00:49:28.000 I think he actually did a really good job of choosing some people to bring on to go through this.

00:49:33.000 It's the best he could have done.

00:49:35.000 But there's probably a lot of people who should have been given... It was too...

00:49:41.000 I feel like the people he chose to go through this are in a similar political space.

00:49:45.000 That's true.

00:49:46.000 Also, it's important to point out that he did not choose everybody who went in there.

00:49:50.000 He chose—basically he reached out to Barry and Matt Taibbi, and then Barry brought in Michael Schellenberger.

00:49:58.000 Michael brought me in.

00:49:59.000 I brought Lee Fong in.

00:50:02.000 Matt had a team that he brought in.

00:50:03.000 So he basically invited two people and then they picked the rest of the people.

00:50:07.000 So this hand-picked journalist.

00:50:09.000 Man, and he's like mad at Matt and Barry now, isn't he?

00:50:12.000 He's not mad at Barry anymore.

00:50:14.000 Oh, okay.

00:50:14.000 That's good.

00:50:14.000 He's cool with Barry.

00:50:16.000 There was a little flap, but it was just over her like tweeting something critical about his like picking on that employee or something.

00:50:22.000 It was just nothing.

00:50:23.000 uh... uh... matt yeah he's mats not man well this is all that reported out on

00:50:28.000 that right right right but yeah there i think the muck what what probably one of

00:50:32.000 the most important searches after federal government involvement is

00:50:35.000 alex jones because that looked like a cascade

00:50:40.000 it'll take a conspiracy to to speak take one man off of all of these different

00:50:45.000 platforms I also wonder if Elon would be like, no, you can't search that one.

00:50:48.000 Cause he won't, he's like, he's outright said he won't let Alex back on the platform.

00:50:52.000 Right?

00:50:52.000 Well, if he did, then we would report that out that he refused to.

00:50:55.000 Is there anything that you haven't been allowed to?

00:50:57.000 No, nothing, nothing.

00:50:59.000 Except for now that access is basically shut off.

00:51:02.000 Yeah, but it's not, no, it's not shut off.

00:51:04.000 It's not like he said you can't come back in.

00:51:06.000 It's just like we had our time, we did our reporting, and then we have to be kind of like invited back in.

00:51:11.000 You know, it's not like we can't just walk in there.

00:51:13.000 We don't have like passes that we can just use any time of the day.

00:51:17.000 So, you know, I don't think we've been shut out.

00:51:20.000 It's just, I think we'll be back in there, is what I'll say.

00:51:24.000 But you know, speaking of conspiracies, like this stuff, the Hunter Biden laptop stuff, it was just reported that the origin of the Russian disinfo meme came from the Biden campaign.

00:51:37.000 And this has been reported by like two outlets.

00:51:40.000 It's like this is a huge story that spells out a literal PSYOP.

00:51:46.000 We put all these pieces together about how the Hunter Biden laptop story was.

00:51:49.000 The FBI had the computer.

00:51:51.000 They had subpoenaed it.

00:51:52.000 There was a receipt.

00:51:53.000 Those were both published in the New York Post.

00:51:55.000 So the FBI definitely had the computer, and yet they were running around to these platforms saying, we think that there's going to be what appears to be a Russian hack and leak.

00:52:04.000 dump in a couple of days. This is just like, within days of the New York Post story breaking

00:52:09.000 going to the to the platforms and warning them of a of a hack for information that they

00:52:15.000 knew to be true, assuming that they were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop, which seems

00:52:18.000 like it'd be a big coincidence if they didn't. Then meantime, in the meantime, the there

00:52:23.000 was a the Atlanta Council had organized like a tabletop exercise a few weeks before the

00:52:28.000 story dropped, where they invited like national security reporters from the New York Times,

00:52:33.000 all these big wigs to run a tabletop exercise. 1.00

00:52:37.000 What would happen if there was a Russian hack and leak operation intended to affect the election involving Hunter Biden?

00:52:43.000 And then they all gamed out, well, we would suppress that and we would call it disinformation.

00:52:48.000 So all this stuff was already like, and this has all been documented, and it looked like a big conspiracy and PSYOP.

00:52:54.000 And then we find out, because Jim Jordan released this letter, that Tony Blinken had called

00:53:02.000 Michael Morell, the former acting director of the CIA, and didn't ask for, but said,

00:53:10.000 you know, we're very concerned about this New York Post story.

00:53:14.000 And then Michael Morell went on to organize all those intelligence officers who signed that letter, saying that this has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, which kicked off the entire thing of discrediting the story.

00:53:26.000 And it was at the past of the Biden campaign.

00:53:29.000 And this has now been reported, verified. 0.99

00:53:31.000 Fuck, nobody's talking about this. 0.97

00:53:33.000 Yeah, so we actually covered that on my podcast yesterday, and it's so insane that somebody from a presidential campaign could reach out to connections in our intelligence agencies to get them to fabricate a letter with The names of 50 different intelligence officials on it saying that this is Russian disinformation, so now you have the added element of them blaming a foreign power for something which is unbelievably irresponsible so that they can try to get their candidate elected. 0.99

00:54:03.000 And Trump is indicted because his campaign supposedly, you know, paid off Stormy Daniels at his behest and they should have disclosed that?

00:54:12.000 Like, that's a greater example of corruption than the deep state operating at the behest of a member of a presidential campaign?

00:54:20.000 Take a look at this.

00:54:21.000 We got this story from Spiked.

00:54:23.000 And I always love to give you guys the NewsGuard certification.

00:54:26.000 100 out of 100.

00:54:28.000 That's right.

00:54:28.000 It is NewsGuard certified.

00:54:30.000 And people are like, that's the government.

00:54:31.000 So the government certified it.

00:54:32.000 Call it whatever you want.

00:54:33.000 Joe Biden's sinister disinformation campaign.

00:54:36.000 They say last week it was revealed that shortly before the 2020 election, Joe Biden's presidential campaign conspired with 51 former spies to discredit the New York Post discoveries from the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:54:46.000 That is to say a person running for office conspired with Because you can get away with it, right?

00:54:53.000 It's a two-tier system.

00:54:54.000 Yeah.

00:54:54.000 that could harm their campaign. And by the way, when Michael Morrell was asked under oath why he

00:54:59.000 did it, he said it was because he wanted Joe Biden to be elected. He just straight up said that.

00:55:03.000 Because you can get away with it, right? It's a two-tier system. Yeah. They let you when you're

00:55:09.000 famous. What's the point? Oh my gosh. Oof.

00:55:15.000 So, uh, well, there you go.

00:55:17.000 Does this mean that the country doesn't exist or something?

00:55:22.000 It means it's not our country anymore. 0.96

00:55:25.000 Yeah, it's like being worn as a skin suit by occult, creepy, corrupt individuals. 0.96

00:55:31.000 Just do whatever they want. 0.92

00:55:32.000 We're sitting here watching.

00:55:33.000 How you doing?

00:55:34.000 Yeah, I'm doing alright with it.

00:55:39.000 Obviously, you know, talk about this a bit, my hope is not in this world.

00:55:42.000 I think we could still win this battle, though.

00:55:45.000 No, I think we're winning.

00:55:46.000 I think it simply comes down to the reason they're going after kids so much is because they know that if they don't, they're done.

00:55:54.000 20 years from now, all these conservative kids are going to be like, I vote against you.

00:55:57.000 And they're not going to have kids because, you know, they sterilize and abort them. 0.95

00:56:00.000 So.

00:56:02.000 But also, the thing is, if they do go after the kids and really normalize pedophilia, as they're clearly starting to do and gearing up to do, then there's no way for us to win.

00:56:10.000 Once that is taken from you, once they win that, there's nothing.

00:56:14.000 I just disagree.

00:56:15.000 I mean, there's too much required to get to that point where a conservative can't just move to the middle of nowhere and keep their kids away from this stuff.

00:56:24.000 Yeah, but the fact that you'd have to move to the middle of nowhere to get away from people trying to abuse your kids means you have lost the society.

00:56:30.000 You actually can't do that now because now California and I forget what other state but another state as well have passed laws.

00:56:39.000 Washington.

00:56:39.000 Was it Washington?

00:56:40.000 You're talking about the sanctuary thing?

00:56:44.000 Yeah.

00:56:45.000 So they passed laws that if you're in a marital dispute over your child transitioning, One parent can take that child and go to California and then that case will be adjudicated in California, not in the state of the other parent.

00:57:04.000 So basically you can kidnap your kid.

00:57:06.000 And then there was another law that was passed in California.

00:57:10.000 Um, that was, I can't remember if it passed or if it's set to be passed, but that's basically instructing judges that when they hear these kinds of cases, essentially telling them to lean in favor of transitioning being in the welfare of the child.

00:57:24.000 So in other words, you can move to wherever you want to, but if you're in the US, um, and you have a dispute with your, with your spouse over this, your spouse could just take your kid to California.

00:57:33.000 So you don't have that safe harbor.

00:57:36.000 And there was also something else I saw the other day about, I'd have to pull up the state again, but they just passed legislation saying that these shelters don't have to report runaways to their parent if they identify as trans and that's why they've run away. 0.92

00:57:49.000 Your kid can check into a residential rehab facility without the consent of their parents.

00:57:55.000 It just takes like a social worker or a psychologist saying, yeah, I think that this is in the kid's best interest.

00:58:00.000 And undergo abortion services and also gender transition hormone therapy.

00:58:05.000 I don't know if surgery is included, but some hormone sex change procedures are without the consent of either parent.

00:58:10.000 Well, and this is the new paradigm, right?

00:58:12.000 Historically, our understanding was parents have the final say over what happens to their child, and if the government is going to get involved, they need to prove that they have a very good reason.

00:58:21.000 They need to demonstrate that this child is being abused to the point where the state has to step in.

00:58:26.000 Now it's the exact opposite.

00:58:27.000 The state has the final say over what your kid gets to do.

00:58:30.000 The parent has to prove that they should have their concerns heard about their own child.

00:58:35.000 The law in California that is just referred to, actually, the law was they took the existing statute which said that a kid can check into a residential rehab facility If, number one, a psychologist or social worker or something recommends it, and number two, that that kid has been abused or a victim of incest in the household.

00:58:53.000 In those cases, the prior law was, in those cases, that kid could go to a residential rehab facility without the parent's consent.

00:58:59.000 That's a good law.

00:59:00.000 That makes sense, right?

00:59:02.000 The new law just struck out the part about abuse or victim of incest.

00:59:06.000 Well, they're going to say the parents are the abusers for not wanting to transition their kids.

00:59:09.000 Because it's projection.

00:59:10.000 Because it's projection.

00:59:11.000 Because the left never says, we're not doing that, or what we're doing isn't as bad as what you think.

00:59:16.000 They say, you're doing it.

00:59:17.000 We're not abusing these kids.

00:59:18.000 You're abusing these kids.

00:59:21.000 Right.

00:59:22.000 So it's state kidnapping.

00:59:24.000 Yeah, that's basically what it is.

00:59:25.000 It's the state is allowed to kidnap your kid.

00:59:27.000 So like, I didn't watch the full video with what Biden said, I'd watch the little segment where he's talking about, you know, your, you don't own your kids or whatever.

00:59:33.000 So I don't want to speak to what what the context was, I don't want to be surprised by with, but it is sort of like in the context of these laws that are being passed.

00:59:41.000 I feel like, I tweeted about this, like 20 years ago the religious right used to talk about how the left wanted to destroy the nuclear family.

00:59:50.000 And at the time I thought that was ridiculous and hyperbole, and it probably was ridiculous and hyperbole at the time.

00:59:56.000 But now it's like, it's hard to—it's like, well, that's actually what these laws amount to.

01:00:01.000 They're saying that the parent shouldn't have—doesn't need to give consent, that the biggest threats to the children come from the parents, and that the state and psychologists and social workers need to take custody of that kid to protect them from their parents.

01:00:14.000 We've got sanctuary states now for sex change surgeries. 1.00

01:00:17.000 What did Joe Biden just say today, Seamus?

01:00:19.000 He said that you don't- basically that you don't own your child, the nation does.

01:00:23.000 He's like, it's not your kid, it's not someone else's kid, it's the nation's kid, to paraphrase. 0.91

01:00:27.000 What a creep.

01:00:28.000 Yeah, it's extremely creepy.

01:00:29.000 How I get to sniff- you can't tell me not to sniff their hair, man.

01:00:32.000 Where do you get those hairs in my nostrils?

01:00:36.000 But I think, to what you're saying, that it's probably true that your average liberal person 20 years ago wasn't going about the revolutionary change that they were trying to instate by saying, I want to destroy the family.

01:00:49.000 But all of the intellectual thought leaders of the left going back decades did openly say that that was their goal.

01:00:56.000 I mean, yeah, the radical fringe of the left was definitely saying those things, like the nuclear family is an oppressive structure, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:01:06.000 You know, and who cares, right?

01:01:07.000 Because there's a radical fringe on the left, there's a radical fringe on the right, and they're all crazy, and we can just, like, ignore them for the most part.

01:01:13.000 That used to be the case.

01:01:14.000 And now, I mean, so that's the difference, right?

01:01:16.000 It was like normal, normie liberals, and it remains the case that normie liberals don't want to destroy the nuclear family.

01:01:24.000 But we are in a situation in which those radical fringe activists now can't be ignored anymore because they have power over state legislators and they have power over federal legislators, arguably, but certainly state legislators in California.

01:01:40.000 So now this stuff is becoming law.

01:01:42.000 It's going to spread because what's happening on the left right now, too, is they're working with younger people to get them elected into these offices.

01:01:49.000 Moms Demand Action, some of the anti-gun organizations, are working with 18 to 24 year olds to teach them and train them how to get into these positions so they can start changing the law from the inside and expanding that agenda.

01:02:02.000 Welcome to the new country, I guess.

01:02:03.000 I'm still confident that we're going to win, though.

01:02:07.000 I just think it's math.

01:02:09.000 We can talk about all the things they want to do to kids and how they want to create these sanctuary states, but the reality is if you keep your kids away from this cultural influence, they've lost.

01:02:17.000 So I think part of what you're saying is that when people do the right thing and have good ideas and behave virtuously, in the long run they win because people who are doing bad things and behaving in vicious ways end up eating themselves alive and their society collapses.

01:02:31.000 But if the rot spreads so far within your culture that it completely usurps it, well, then your entire civilization collapses before that good can eventually win out once people try to rebuild from the ashes.

01:02:45.000 And I'm not saying that that's a guarantee here.

01:02:47.000 What I am saying is I agree with you that in the long run good wins, but that doesn't mean America is still around 100 years from now.

01:02:54.000 America will be around, it just won't be the same.

01:02:56.000 And I'm not saying that there won't be a collapse, a longfall, or a civil war or whatever, I'm just saying... I know you're not saying there won't be a civil war or a collapse.

01:03:01.000 Yeah, the right's gonna win. 0.57

01:03:03.000 It's basically, there's like, historical precedents very rarely do the... I mean, let's put it this way.

01:03:11.000 The left, they aren't anti-gun.

01:03:13.000 Liberals are anti-gun.

01:03:14.000 The left likes guns.

01:03:15.000 But you still can't compare a soy boy to, like, a military veteran.

01:03:19.000 And the left likes to show these big, fat militia guys, and they're like, haha, like, that guy could go toe-to-toe with a National Guardsman, and it's like, dude, the National Guard would be split the same as any other part of this country.

01:03:29.000 And I got news for these guys.

01:03:32.000 The big, fat militia guy probably is still better trained with a gun than a soy boy. 1.00

01:03:35.000 Than some, like, leftist Antifa guy.

01:03:37.000 The left has the John Brown Gun Club and, like, a bunch of these, you know, the, what is it, the Socialist Rifle Association or whatever.

01:03:43.000 Right.

01:03:43.000 And those guys are probably a lot better with weapons.

01:03:46.000 But that big, fat militia guy is gonna be better than the average thin, scrawny, vegan, soy boy dude. 0.98

01:03:53.000 I mean, isn't it really hyper-polarizing, though, to see these two distinct, these distinct individuals, the stereotypes? 0.82

01:03:59.000 On the right, you have the stereotype of the morbidly obese militia guy.

01:04:02.000 And on the left, you have the gaunt and frail Antifa guy.

01:04:06.000 Isn't it kind of weird?

01:04:07.000 Maybe it's something to do with being vegan.

01:04:10.000 No offense to vegans.

01:04:11.000 I got no beef.

01:04:11.000 I'm just saying, you know, a lot of vegans aren't getting enough protein.

01:04:14.000 They don't got no beef either, bro.

01:04:15.000 Quite literally.

01:04:16.000 No beef.

01:04:18.000 Yeah, so I don't know.

01:04:19.000 Long story short, I just don't see how the left can possibly win if they don't have kids.

01:04:23.000 I mean one thing to pay attention to is that a lot of the stuff with the trans stuff, and I want to stipulate this by saying I do not have a problem with adults transitioning.

01:04:31.000 Don't care.

01:04:31.000 That's fine.

01:04:32.000 Do what you want to.

01:04:33.000 It's the kids who concerns me.

01:04:37.000 But a lot of the, it's the bluest cities in the bluest states where a lot of this, where the most affirming is happening, both not just at the medical level but also in the schools and just at the general culture.

01:04:48.000 So it's parents of kids who are gender questioning or whatever in your Brooklands and in your San Francisco's who are coming face-to-face with the stark reality of how deep and pervasive this stuff is. 0.94

01:05:04.000 and they're getting red-pilled. Like, when they see this happening to their own kid,

01:05:07.000 their kid is questioning. They're supportive, right? They're like,

01:05:10.000 being super supportive, they know the right things to do.

01:05:13.000 But then they go to the therapist, and their therapist is like, oh, well, your kid is

01:05:17.000 definitely trans, and we need to put him on hormones. They're like, wait, what? You can have a 1.00

01:05:20.000 trans kid or a dead kid. 1.00

01:05:21.000 They emotionally blackmail these guys and mutilate your kid.

01:05:23.000 And they might go further even, but then the kid starts to regret it, and then it becomes this whole mess, and then the parents are studying this stuff along the way.

01:05:29.000 They're looking up, you know, these are like, you know, upper middle class, laptop class people.

01:05:35.000 They're looking up the medical studies.

01:05:37.000 They're reading the medical studies.

01:05:38.000 They're realizing that there's actually no medical basis to the claim that puberty blockers are reversible.

01:05:43.000 All that stuff.

01:05:44.000 And then they start to question everything.

01:05:46.000 And then up to 95% of dysphoric Yeah.

01:05:47.000 people grow out of it in puberty.

01:05:49.000 There was a story about a family who said that they were very leftist, very pro-trans,

01:05:53.000 very supportive until one day their son came out and said he was trans and they were like,

01:05:56.000 what, no you're not.

01:05:58.000 And so they started talking like to him and to each other like, you have no symptoms of this,

01:06:03.000 you've shown nothing of this, why are you saying this?

01:06:06.000 When they brought the kid into counselors and stuff, the counselor said, no, he's definitely trans.

01:06:10.000 And then they said, these things aren't true though.

01:06:12.000 Basically like the kid was saying, oh yeah, I used to do this, I used to do that, I used to do this.

01:06:16.000 And the parents were like, no, no, no, that's not true.

01:06:17.000 And they were like, you're just denying your son's lived experience and all of these things.

01:06:22.000 And the family then basically said, we realized a lot of this stuff was being pushed on our kid who was just trying to fit in and going along with it.

01:06:28.000 And it was freaky to see the whole machine pushing in this direction.

01:06:31.000 Yeah.

01:06:32.000 To make your kid be this way.

01:06:33.000 By the way, a huge proportion of those kids are autistic as well.

01:06:37.000 Right.

01:06:37.000 This came out with the Tattlestock stuff.

01:06:39.000 They don't know how to fit in socially.

01:06:42.000 Right.

01:06:42.000 And so when someone says, this is what's socially acceptable, they just agree.

01:06:46.000 Right, it's easy to blame all your problems, you know, if you were abused, you have trauma, whatever, you have other mental disorders, all this stuff, and it's like somebody comes to you with a solution.

01:06:56.000 They're like, oh, well, all of this is a clear sign of gender dysphoria and all you have to do is take this drug and everything will be okay. 0.87

01:07:02.000 That's just a very seductive proposition to a kid who's...

01:07:05.000 Let's jump to this story, actually, and then we'll carry on this conversation, because this is epic.

01:07:10.000 We have this from the Daily Mail.

01:07:11.000 Bud Light's hangover gets worse.

01:07:13.000 Rival Coors Light and Miller Light sales spike 18% in wake of Dylan Mulvaney debacle.

01:07:18.000 Check this out.

01:07:18.000 Between April 2nd and April 15th, overall volume of sales of Bud Light at bars and restaurants dropped by 34.7%.

01:07:24.000 Can I get a holy crap? 0.99

01:07:28.000 Crap, that's massive. 1.00

01:07:30.000 So the boycott's certainly working. 0.99

01:07:32.000 And I don't know what it is, but I mean, I should put it this way.

01:07:36.000 I have an idea of what I think it is.

01:07:38.000 I think what they basically did was they came out and said that Bud Light is the beer for effeminate millennials.

01:07:45.000 And so all of these middle-aged guys was like, I don't drink that.

01:07:48.000 I don't drink Bud Light.

01:07:50.000 Bud Light already had a bad reputation for being like piss water.

01:07:53.000 But you know, who cares?

01:07:55.000 If you're at a bar and you're like, I just want to get drunk. 0.84

01:07:57.000 But now it's piss water that's associated with being effeminate and being, you know, kind of uncool.

01:08:02.000 They've effectively made their brand not cool.

01:08:05.000 And so now you've got middle-aged dudes being like, I don't, I don't drink that.

01:08:08.000 Don't look at me.

01:08:08.000 Yeah.

01:08:09.000 Right.

01:08:09.000 I think it's also just like, people don't want this stuff politicized, right?

01:08:12.000 It's like the same with the NBA or, you know, the whatever.

01:08:15.000 It's like people just like, they're like, give me a break, right?

01:08:19.000 Let me drink my beer.

01:08:20.000 Let me watch my basketball game without being pushed with a political message, whichever side it comes from, although it only comes from one side.

01:08:26.000 I think that only goes so far.

01:08:28.000 Because we've seen it with a lot of things.

01:08:30.000 Video games.

01:08:31.000 People are still willing to play a video game that gets politicized if they're like, yeah, okay, fine, whatever.

01:08:34.000 People are still willing to watch certain TV shows that are like, moderately woke to a certain degree, so long as it's not that in your face.

01:08:41.000 Right.

01:08:42.000 But when it comes to beer, I think what they did was they just made the beer.

01:08:46.000 They got a very effeminate Individual don't move any to sponsor it and that's the image associated with it now Yeah, well, so if you are a bud light drinker, it's you know, it's like does some 40 year old dude at a ballgame want to be Seen as like a dude at a nightclub with a frilly pink dress Probably not 0.81

01:09:08.000 Yeah, you made a point a moment ago about how people will watch something on television even though it's woke because they find it entertaining.

01:09:16.000 Part of the difference is you advertise the things you consume in terms of food or beverage differently than you advertise what you see on TV.

01:09:24.000 You can kind of have a TV show that other people don't know you watch, and so you're watching something a little more woke than people would expect from you, but if that's the beer you order at the bar, or even if you want to drink that beer in secret, It's in your fridge, dude.

01:09:38.000 Someone can open it and see.

01:09:38.000 James watches reruns of Will & Grace just all day.

01:09:41.000 It's my favorite show ever, of course.

01:09:44.000 It's a funny show.

01:09:45.000 It is a funny show.

01:09:46.000 But yeah, you're right.

01:09:48.000 Out in public, you have to- I disavow, by the way.

01:09:50.000 I don't watch Will & Grace.

01:09:51.000 Tim is once again smearing me because Luke was in his DMs crying about the fact that I'm stealing his thunder, and so I'm competition that has to be taken out.

01:09:59.000 But anyway.

01:10:00.000 Anyway, I totally lost my train of thought because you were talking about potatoes or something.

01:10:03.000 I'm sorry.

01:10:04.000 See, this is the kind of racism I have to tolerate every single time I'm here.

01:10:08.000 You were talking about the fact that we were just talking about how people can hide the media that they consume.

01:10:14.000 Right, when you're out in public and you're drinking a Bud Light, you're making a political statement now.

01:10:19.000 How, like, I guess, I feel like you have to ask this about every story now, like, how much of this stuff has pervaded regular people in your life?

01:10:26.000 Oh, this has.

01:10:26.000 This has.

01:10:27.000 It has.

01:10:27.000 For sure.

01:10:27.000 It's not just, like, contour.

01:10:28.000 I have people ask me about it when I'm at the casinos or whatever.

01:10:31.000 Really?

01:10:31.000 Like, I'm at a poker table and people are like, yeah, what's up with that thing?

01:10:33.000 That was weird.

01:10:34.000 I'm not going to drink that.

01:10:36.000 And then there was one where, you know, they have like the lady will come around asking for drinks. 0.99

01:10:40.000 And then someone made a crack like, not a Bud Light!

01:10:43.000 And then everybody chuckles.

01:10:44.000 And I'm like, man, like people know this.

01:10:46.000 Well, you know, it's funny.

01:10:47.000 It used to be that people would be like, I mean, people used to ask the question, or I still ask the question that I just asked, which is like, is this just for the terminally online or Normie's getting this?

01:10:55.000 And actually, we're in an age where everybody's terminally online.

01:10:58.000 So if it's pervading your bubble, it's pervading a lot of people's bubbles.

01:11:02.000 But even so, I mean, your average person, you don't need to be terminally online to say, why is this guy in a dress and makeup on my beer?

01:11:10.000 And when you talk to a lot of people at the casino, or just in general, I can't speak to your casino experience, but you ask them, how did you feel about that Bud Light thing?

01:11:18.000 Or do you support Dylan Mulvaney?

01:11:19.000 You know, maybe if they're more online, like we are, more into politics, they'll sort of launch into their explanation of why it's bad for the culture.

01:11:26.000 But your average person is just like, No, I don't support that.

01:11:29.000 That's weird.

01:11:29.000 I just don't like it.

01:11:30.000 But it's not actually on the beer can, right?

01:11:31.000 They're not selling those ones.

01:11:32.000 No, no, no.

01:11:33.000 Not anymore, no.

01:11:34.000 They were never selling it.

01:11:35.000 Oh.

01:11:35.000 And so what the left said was, oh, it's all over one commemorative can that wasn't for sale.

01:11:40.000 Dylan Mulvaney had a video where he had a stack of beer cans and was smiling and being like, look, drink this stuff.

01:11:40.000 But it's not.

01:11:47.000 And then I don't even know what March Madness is.

01:11:49.000 So it's like you are insulting your core market.

01:11:53.000 And then the VP came out and she was like, we don't like this frat humor and we want to change our audience.

01:11:53.000 Oh, totally.

01:11:59.000 And it's, so it's not only, so that's the thing.

01:12:02.000 I see, I see more than just Domelvani.

01:12:03.000 I see they came out and actually spat in the face of their audience.

01:12:06.000 And now the fact that they fired, I'm sorry, I should say, but they put two VPs, two executives on leave from their marketing team.

01:12:12.000 without actually apologizing is they're probably going to the shareholders being like don't worry

01:12:17.000 we got rid of these people but they hate you their former customer so much they won't just

01:12:24.000 apologize nobody asked them to put anybody on leave i did not come on the show and say i demand

01:12:29.000 they remove and fire this woman i I said, just say we're sorry for sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney. 1.00

01:12:33.000 We didn't mean to be divisive and to upset anybody.

01:12:35.000 And they were like, nah, we're not going to do that.

01:12:37.000 We're going to quietly remove these people to save our stock because that's what really matters.

01:12:41.000 And then we're going to say nothing to you and hope you just forget about it.

01:12:44.000 I mean, they were looking for a class of consumer that was higher status in their view, you know?

01:12:44.000 Yeah.

01:12:49.000 Frat guys, they're embodying toxic masculinity, and they're bigoted. 0.99

01:12:54.000 There's just all sorts of baggage tied up with anything that's involved with fraternity or manhood.

01:13:00.000 And, of course, Dylan Mulvaney, it's new, trendy, and supportive of transgenderism, which is the most trendy thing on the planet right now.

01:13:10.000 And those people are just better than you.

01:13:11.000 And that's why we want their money and not yours.

01:13:13.000 That's right.

01:13:14.000 Because we here at Bud Light are better than you.

01:13:16.000 And we know it!

01:13:17.000 Exactly.

01:13:17.000 And we need better customers.

01:13:18.000 No, they know that they screwed up, but I think, I'm at the point where, I was saying this earlier, that if they don't issue a formal apology by this week, and I'm not saying to fire anybody, I'm not saying to write a 500 page manifesto, I'm saying outright just be like...

01:13:33.000 I think a lot of people wouldn't though.

01:13:36.000 We're sponsoring Dylan Mulvaney.

01:13:37.000 We hope to retain you as customers.

01:13:40.000 We apologize for a divisive ad.

01:13:43.000 You know, thank you and have a nice day.

01:13:45.000 I'd be like, okay, that's it, that's fine.

01:13:47.000 That's all, that's it.

01:13:49.000 I think a lot of people wouldn't though.

01:13:50.000 I think there is really like a bad taste that's been left in people's mouths.

01:13:53.000 At this point, that's what I'm saying.

01:13:55.000 I'm saying at this point, their unwillingness to actually just be like, hey, our bad.

01:14:00.000 We didn't mean to sponsor this person.

01:14:01.000 We know you get pissed off.

01:14:02.000 We did not realize who this person was.

01:14:04.000 We won't do it again.

01:14:05.000 Their unwillingness to say anything close to that says to me, they literally don't care about you, and they don't care if they get you back.

01:14:12.000 So I'm like, at this point, I'm not a Bud Light guy.

01:14:14.000 I'm not an Anheuser guy.

01:14:15.000 I actually really like Modelo, but I don't drink a whole lot.

01:14:18.000 But I will have no problem saying, I will never forgive the company if they've gone this far without just being like, hey, we're sorry about this.

01:14:27.000 So what I would like to say is I will never buy another Bud Light again if they don't apologize this week!

01:14:33.000 But I really don't buy Bud Light, so it's kind of meaningless.

01:14:36.000 I will say this, the events we're doing, we did this in Texas, we pulled all Anheuser products from the show.

01:14:40.000 Good for you.

01:14:41.000 So anybody who came in, they could not buy it.

01:14:42.000 Not that anyone wanted to.

01:14:44.000 We were making fun of Bud Light the whole time.

01:14:45.000 What do you think the insult is to the consumers exactly?

01:14:48.000 Is it that it's kind of, that it's kind of a troll and saying, like, condescending?

01:14:53.000 The consumers got mad.

01:14:55.000 They said, hey, we're upset about this.

01:14:56.000 So Bud Light goes, I got an idea.

01:14:57.000 Let's ignore them.

01:14:59.000 Then the boycott persisted over the holiday week, holiday weekend.

01:15:03.000 And the pundits were like, whoa, this is crazy.

01:15:04.000 Conservatives don't normally do this.

01:15:06.000 So then Bud Light was like, let's keep ignoring them.

01:15:09.000 Then on Friday, they came out and said, we don't like to be divisive.

01:15:13.000 Thank you.

01:15:15.000 And everyone's like, what is this statement?

01:15:17.000 Then they put out a commercial about a horse running through America and it runs to New York to never forget 9-11.

01:15:22.000 And it was insulting to do.

01:15:24.000 I started getting Budweiser ads and I'm like, what is this?

01:15:27.000 Just say sorry. 0.99

01:15:29.000 So now what's insulting is they keep doing these things without apologizing as if we're too stupid to realize what we're upset about. 0.94

01:15:36.000 And instead of apologizing, they put two marketing execs on leave That only assuages the fears of shareholders and not customers. 0.62

01:15:45.000 And now we're going on to week three without them saying, sorry about that, guys.

01:15:51.000 They're clearly at a point where they're like, if we lose this customer base, so be it.

01:15:56.000 F them.

01:15:58.000 The thing is that, while I can understand why Bud Light Drinkers would be insulted by the company, Dylan Mulvaney himself—I'm just going to say himself—is just this walking insult to half the population of the country of women.

01:16:13.000 But also trans people.

01:16:14.000 And also trans people, absolutely. 0.85

01:16:16.000 He's a parody of trans people. 0.99

01:16:19.000 And he is like—think if you did this—he's like a Jigaboo for women. 0.92

01:16:24.000 It's like, is that the right word? 0.90

01:16:26.000 He's just like the equivalent of a racist caricature. 0.56

01:16:29.000 It's like a modern-day minstrel show. 0.96

01:16:31.000 Yes, absolutely.

01:16:33.000 And people say it's woman-face. 0.99

01:16:34.000 I think Del Mulvaney's doing trans-face.

01:16:38.000 I guess I don't draw a distinction between the two.

01:16:40.000 No, there is.

01:16:41.000 I know everyone's heard me say it, but I'll explain it just for your sake, Seamus, and for those that may not have heard it.

01:16:47.000 People with gender dysphoria don't sing about their bulges to 10 million people.

01:16:52.000 People with gender dysphoria feel anxiety, and that's what gender dysphoria is.

01:16:56.000 Their body gives them anxiety.

01:16:58.000 Could you imagine an anorexic person making a video being like, look how fat I am, look how fat I am, and squeezing their rolls?

01:17:03.000 No, that gives them anxiety.

01:17:04.000 They don't want to be fat.

01:17:06.000 Dylan Mulvaney is the opposite of what you'd actually expect from a person suffering gender dysphoria, singing songs about his bulge. 0.98

01:17:12.000 What he's done is he's capitalized on the algorithm.

01:17:15.000 He's exploited the left, who will support this to no end, to create a mockery of trans people and women and then get corporate protection and sponsorship to do it.

01:17:24.000 It's really remarkable where we're at. 0.82

01:17:26.000 He's actually literally a transphobe.

01:17:29.000 I don't know if he has—I'm not saying that he has contempt for trans people, but I'm saying that the character that he plays is hateful to trans people.

01:17:36.000 Right, like— That's the impact, even if it's not the intent.

01:17:38.000 Yes, right.

01:17:39.000 Like a minstrel show.

01:17:40.000 And I think he's—I mean, yeah, I think his intent is he's a theater kid who found a shtick that's making him rich and getting a lot of attention.

01:17:46.000 I don't think it's anything more complicated than that.

01:17:47.000 Yep.

01:17:48.000 And Dylan Mulvaney has not posted since the controversy started.

01:17:52.000 So we're now going into week three of no posts from Dylan Mulvaney.

01:17:55.000 And I've said this the other day, the people who are in Dylan's life, family members over, need to give him an intervention and be like, stop this.

01:18:04.000 It's going too far.

01:18:07.000 Like I mentioned this the other day, there are trans YouTubers pointing out that Dylan's not doing things typically associated with being trans, doesn't appear to be taking estrogen, doesn't appear to be getting actual feminization.

01:18:18.000 So Dylan got facial surgery, but people are pointing out not laser hair removal, which is the cheaper and faster procedure, but permanent.

01:18:25.000 And so the insinuation is Dylan expects this to run its course at some point.

01:18:30.000 Absolutely, and then it'll be on to the next thing.

01:18:32.000 Right, and then Dylan will just be a de-transitioner.

01:18:34.000 Yeah.

01:18:35.000 Or just, you know, whatever.

01:18:36.000 Yeah.

01:18:38.000 And Budweiser will have made their bed.

01:18:39.000 I honestly think there's no way Budweiser gets out of this.

01:18:44.000 They tried doing the Clydesdale commercial to be like, we're patriotic and we love America, but they already have become the brand.

01:18:50.000 Are you telling me that in addition to the bank industry failing and the entire media failing, Budweiser is going to fail too?

01:18:58.000 I don't know about failing, I'm just saying their brand is this now.

01:19:01.000 They're the brand of pride parades and things like that.

01:19:04.000 And I don't care about that.

01:19:06.000 But there's going to be a lot of middle-aged dudes who don't want to be that.

01:19:11.000 You know, it's like, why do people dress a certain way?

01:19:14.000 Why do people choose to wear certain clothes?

01:19:16.000 They want to portray an image to other people.

01:19:18.000 Social acceptance is extremely important to people. 0.77

01:19:21.000 So for a suburban middle-class dad who wants to be seen as a strong man around his friends, who doesn't want to be seen as weak, pathetic, and effeminate, he ain't drinking Bud Light anymore, probably never again.

01:19:34.000 The thing I would take issue with the way you described it before, though, or the thing that I think is just a little bit outdated, is that the idea that you're right, that his performance is completely at odds with the idea of somebody with actual gender dysphoria, but the discourse has moved on to a point where you don't have to have gender dysphoria.

01:19:53.000 In fact, it's considered insulting by some trans activists to insist that somebody needs to have gender dysphoria to be trans, because It's gone from what was considered a mental disorder to what was considered just kind of like a condition that you could be treated for and healed from to essentially a lifestyle choice, right?

01:20:14.000 It's like you just choose.

01:20:15.000 And so Dyl Mulvaney is a very good portrayal of that.

01:20:19.000 All you have to do is announce it.

01:20:21.000 Well, part of the utility of gender dysphoria for the transgender movement and that label is it also did place a pathology on it that a person could be suffering with and trying to escape, whereas the view of them as autogynephiliacs, for example, which many of them are, who knows how you can quantify it, but which is just a person who's sexually aroused by the thought of themselves as the opposite sex, is something people are far less comfortable with.

01:20:44.000 And don't forget the AAP as well.

01:20:46.000 The AAP, autoandrophiles.

01:20:46.000 Hmm?

01:20:48.000 Oh, yes, yes, yes, exactly, which is the female variant, the woman who's aroused to conceptualize herself as a man, because then what you have to admit is that you are being forced to participate in someone else's sexual fetish.

01:20:59.000 Which is a lot harder to justify to the public in the short term.

01:20:59.000 Which is a lot of it.

01:21:02.000 Now, in the long run, if they really do continue to win the culture war in the ways that they have and we don't keep pushing back, they're eventually just going to start openly admitting, yes, there is autogynephilia and autoandrophilia.

01:21:13.000 They already are.

01:21:14.000 that's okay and you should still be forced to participate in their fetish.

01:21:17.000 That's what I think the Leah Thomas controversy was. The NCAA swimmer, the 1.00

01:21:22.000 male, was apparently posting things on social media about being was AGP, they

01:21:26.000 call it, which is to imply that this individual is being excited, in a

01:21:33.000 matter of speaking, by forcing other people to participate in this fantasy.

01:21:37.000 Which is, at the very least, something we would have called sexual harassment several years ago.

01:21:37.000 Exactly.

01:21:42.000 Saying, I'm gonna go into the women's locker room and force them to say that I'm a woman because that gets me off? 1.00

01:21:48.000 That's predatory, in and of itself.

01:21:50.000 It's not a question of, is this person going to physically assault someone while they're in there?

01:21:55.000 You're already forcing them to engage in sexual fantasy and roleplay with you.

01:21:59.000 Let's do a hard segue here, because I have this story from TimCast.com.

01:22:03.000 Georgia DA puts police in heightened security amid potential midsummer indictment of Trump.

01:22:08.000 Multiple legal experts believe she will follow through with criminal charges, and I think so.

01:22:13.000 But the story was written by Adrian Norman, so I'll throw it to you.

01:22:15.000 What's going on?

01:22:17.000 What's going on is the continuation of the, what, five year now saga we have of the Get Trump Mafia, who are looking at any other way to try to get this guy and stop him from returning back to the White House.

01:22:27.000 I mean, we got the case in New York with... Alvin Bragg.

01:22:33.000 We've got the special prosecutor in D.C.

01:22:33.000 Alvin Bragg, yeah.

01:22:35.000 who's after him, and now we've got, you know, Fannie Willis in Georgia, and I think they're trying to throw a bunch of stuff to the wall and see what sticks.

01:22:42.000 And the federal indictment now, where they got his Secret Service testifying against them.

01:22:47.000 So we're looking at, was it three?

01:22:49.000 But it's probably going to be more.

01:22:50.000 At least three.

01:22:51.000 Yeah, New York, federal, and Georgia.

01:22:53.000 They are going to indict Trump.

01:22:55.000 And then I guess my question for the panel is, do you think Trump gets convicted in any of these jurisdictions?

01:23:01.000 The Georgia one is over the, I hope, interference or votes thing?

01:23:06.000 Yeah, the 2020 election when he was on the phone with state officials saying, hey, can you fine votes? 0.93

01:23:11.000 So that is a much, much, much more serious case than this garbage in New York.

01:23:16.000 There they're trying to hit him with RICO charges. 0.97

01:23:16.000 Absolutely. 0.97

01:23:18.000 Right.

01:23:19.000 Wow.

01:23:19.000 Yeah, yeah, it's pretty, pretty serious stuff.

01:23:21.000 And again, it's, I mean, if you follow the case at all, you know, it's very clear that he wasn't Intent on engaging in any sort of fraud but they had thought that fraud had occurred because there were so many anomalies and problems that occurred in the election and so many questions that were raised but obviously you know one of Trump's greatest flaws and this has been the case since he ran for office is that he's very imprecise and he says things that are allow you to easily misinterpret what his actual intent is.

01:23:48.000 Or intentionally.

01:23:49.000 Pull out of context.

01:23:51.000 So, you know, in his pursuit for what was really a sort of a righteous cause and saying, hey, you know, we think that there was a mistake that was made with a certain number of votes.

01:24:00.000 Find out what's true, what's not.

01:24:02.000 They're misinterpreting the entire tenant of his phone call, his team's investigation, to frame it as though he was trying to rig the outcome of the election when he wasn't.

01:24:10.000 He was simply trying to discover whether or not election fraud had actually occurred.

01:24:13.000 But I don't think that that matters.

01:24:15.000 I think they will make up any reason to go after him.

01:24:18.000 The documents thing, New York.

01:24:21.000 New York, they're going to convict him.

01:24:24.000 I do not see a New York jury acquitting Donald Trump.

01:24:27.000 And this is going to be in Georgia, but it's probably going to be in a more urban district, I imagine, when they bring him down.

01:24:32.000 I don't know how he's gonna, what he's gonna, if he's gonna try and, uh, you know, make some argument for a separate

01:24:37.000 venue, a different venue in the state or something that's more favorable, which makes no sense.

01:24:41.000 And then you also have the, uh, E. Jean Carroll thing where I guess Trump didn't show up. Is that what happened?

01:24:45.000 You guys, were you following that?

01:24:47.000 No.

01:24:47.000 All I saw was that there were people were tweeting, Trump's a no-show at the E. Jean Carroll's, uh, case.

01:24:51.000 She's accusing him of rape from like 50 years ago or something.

01:24:55.000 And yep, they got it in the courts.

01:24:58.000 I got this, you guys might not agree with this, this might make me unpopular, but I do think that he was looking for votes.

01:25:03.000 I mean, I do think that he was trying to look for, you know, I think he was trying to pressure the state to throw the election to him.

01:25:11.000 So that's why I think it's a much more serious case.

01:25:13.000 I mean, I will plead ignorance that it's not something that I followed very closely.

01:25:19.000 I just know the top lines like everybody else.

01:25:21.000 It just, it just, it just, it's.

01:25:24.000 But how do you find votes?

01:25:25.000 What does it even mean?

01:25:26.000 Like the worst possible interpretation?

01:25:27.000 I don't know that he had a specific plan for what he was trying to ask of them.

01:25:32.000 I think he was just trying to exert his influence and say, do what you need to do.

01:25:37.000 You're the Secretary of State.

01:25:38.000 Do what you need to do to, you know, do what you need to do.

01:25:42.000 And I don't want to I don't want to know what it is, is basically what he's saying.

01:25:46.000 But you're going to find the votes to deliver George to me.

01:25:48.000 That's what I think he was trying to communicate.

01:25:50.000 But you reported this out, so I'm not... Well, I mean, we have the full transcript of the call, so we know exactly what was said.

01:25:57.000 And again, it's one of those things where Trump is Trump, he says some things that oftentimes can be misinterpreted, and I think that's what happened.

01:26:03.000 And you have liberal media establishments that run with these narratives, and the truth makes it around the world before the... excuse me, a lie makes it around the world before the truth has its boots on.

01:26:11.000 And I think there were so many stories that were being pushed through the mainstream media regarding this particular story that framed it in a certain way, it didn't even matter what the truth was at that point.

01:26:20.000 Yeah.

01:26:20.000 Did you get the transcript of it?

01:26:22.000 Yeah, I'm gonna try and see if I can...

01:26:22.000 Yeah.

01:26:25.000 What is this?

01:26:29.000 Trump says, thank you very much.

01:26:30.000 Hello, Brad and Ryan, blah, blah, blah.

01:26:32.000 We're getting 25 to 30,000 people at a rally.

01:26:35.000 We have a number of things.

01:26:36.000 We have at least two or three, anywhere from 250 to 300,000 ballots

01:26:39.000 were dropped mysteriously into the rolls.

01:26:41.000 Much of that had to do with Fulton County, which hasn't been checked.

01:26:43.000 We think that if you check the signatures, a real check of the signatures

01:26:46.000 going back to Fulton County, you'll find at least a couple hundred thousand

01:26:48.000 forged signatures of people who have been forged, and we are quite sure that's going to happen.

01:26:53.000 But I mean, that is just Trump's speculation.

01:26:55.000 He was wanting them to go and look for it.

01:26:57.000 So like in that context, I'd say this, if Trump was like, hey, do a signature verification,

01:27:02.000 because I bet those are no good signatures, is that trying to swing an election?

01:27:07.000 No, but I don't think that he would personally make that phone call, right?

01:27:11.000 Like, the President of the United States is calling and saying, hey, we've got this report.

01:27:15.000 Like, you would run that through somebody else if that was seriously your goal.

01:27:19.000 It just seems like a personal phone call from the President saying, this is fishy and I want you to act on it.

01:27:24.000 Yeah, but he's the President.

01:27:25.000 You think he's going to try to swing an election when everything he's doing is recorded and he's in a room full of advisors?

01:27:29.000 But it's not just that, I mean, what he's saying right here is... Maybe?

01:27:34.000 If, let's just remove it from Trump, if an individual says, I believe there was impropriety here and I think you should allow us to check for it, is that above board or, you know, nefarious?

01:27:45.000 The problem is that, like, we could, you know, this would be like how it would go in a courtroom where we would be parsing these words and trying to figure out the literal meaning.

01:27:54.000 Let me read you the full quote from Donald Trump.

01:27:55.000 evidence, which is how you should litigate. But like really this is an

01:27:59.000 exercise just right here in mind reading, right? We like we have no idea but my so

01:28:04.000 it's totally intuitive. But so here's the let me read you the full quote from

01:28:08.000 Donald Trump and I'll stress too I think he's wrong about the fraud narrative. I

01:28:13.000 do think there's issues with you know in Time magazine they wrote the shadow

01:28:18.000 campaign You see the article, the shadow campaign to save the election?

01:28:21.000 They wrote what they did and how they did it.

01:28:21.000 Yes.

01:28:23.000 It was procedural, it was through government, it was with deals over a year, and it was shutting down entertainment, which resulted in a mass amount of mail-in ballots.

01:28:33.000 Then I think the question is, How do I phrase this?

01:28:39.000 People are saying it's fraud when in reality it may be just like lower standards.

01:28:44.000 Meaning ballots came in through mail-in voting and they were just like, this one's probably fine.

01:28:49.000 As opposed to in the past, they'd be like, we're going to scrutinize the signature.

01:28:53.000 So this is what Trump said.

01:28:54.000 He says, um, let me see if I have to read more because, well, whatever.

01:28:58.000 He says, you're going to find that they are, which is totally illegal, is more illegal for you than it is for them because you know what they did and you're not reporting it.

01:29:05.000 That's criminal.

01:29:06.000 That's a criminal offense and you can't let that happen, blah, blah, blah.

01:29:09.000 He says, and they were moving machinery and they're moving it as fast as they can, both of which are criminal fines and you can't let it happen and you are letting it happen.

01:29:16.000 You know, I mean, I'm notifying you that you're letting it happen.

01:29:19.000 So look, all I want to do is this.

01:29:21.000 I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.

01:29:27.000 And flipping the state is a great testament to our country because, you know, this is a testament that they can admit to a mistake or whatever.

01:29:33.000 You want to call it if it was a mistake?

01:29:35.000 A lot of people think it wasn't a mistake.

01:29:35.000 I don't know.

01:29:38.000 It was much more criminal than that.

01:29:40.000 But it's a big problem in Georgia, and it's not a problem that's going away.

01:29:43.000 I mean, you know it's not a problem that's going away.

01:29:46.000 So this one snippet in context is Trump saying, I believe there was criminal action in your state, and I want you to actually have an investigation of it.

01:29:58.000 And they just said no to him.

01:29:59.000 And he says, Look, I'm just saying we need to I want to find 11,000.

01:30:02.000 The context that I see there is for one, I think Trump pushing the criminal thing was a was was was like a heavy handed threat claiming fraud was to try and scare them into actually doing it.

01:30:15.000 But Trump is basically saying to them, I believe there are ballots with bad signatures, I believe that if you investigate, you will see hundreds of thousands, and I just need to find 11,780 of them to win.

01:30:29.000 I mean, it's possible that it's both of what we're describing, because he could have truly believed that he won the state, and he could have truly believed that there was fraud, but the way he went about But he also was single-mindedly focused on flipping the state, which he says in the statement, and he's leaning on the Secretary of State in a totally inappropriate way, saying, in light of all this, do what you need to do to deliver the election to me, because I deserve it, because I actually won it.

01:31:00.000 There's no reason to get any more votes than you actually need to win.

01:31:04.000 That's actually a legal standard.

01:31:07.000 So when it comes to these lawsuits, one of the big things we found was that you can't actually file a lawsuit unless you can justify just enough votes to actually have won.

01:31:16.000 So there's an argument that suing for a number to an extreme degree would be deemed like Gratuitous.

01:31:26.000 It's like if you file a lawsuit, if you can prove one more vote than you needed to win, you have standing.

01:31:32.000 But my point is this, let me ask you, if you were involved in a competition, let's call it an origami competition, And then you folded 1,000 paper cranes, and then noticed that a bunch of the paper cranes on the other side you believed looked suspicious.

01:31:49.000 What's the appropriate way to go about checking to make sure your opponents were on the level?

01:31:54.000 If you go to the judges and say, hey, I think those cranes are fake, well, by your standard, you're saying that you're putting undue pressure on the judges to allow you to win.

01:32:03.000 Do I, in this situation, am I somebody who has... You're the reigning champion.

01:32:07.000 ...real power over the judges, though?

01:32:09.000 Well, as the reigning champion and the fan favorite, you know, there's a concern that if you don't win, people are going to be mad.

01:32:15.000 But this is, he's leaning on somebody who is in his political party, who's part of the political apparatus that he's the head of.

01:32:22.000 But he has no power over Georgia state election officials.

01:32:25.000 The issue I take with your argument is that if there ever is any impropriety, the only thing you can do is give up and submit to those I'm not saying that.

01:32:33.000 What I'm saying is that I think that he was doing something inappropriate and that he was—I think that his intent was to basically bully his way into having Georgia delivered to him.

01:32:44.000 I'm not making any, like, judgments about— You don't think that mind reading is a bad legal standard?

01:32:48.000 That what?

01:32:49.000 You don't think that mind reading is a bad legal standard?

01:32:51.000 No, I'm just saying my opinion.

01:32:53.000 I'm not a lawyer.

01:32:54.000 I'm not arguing the case.

01:32:55.000 I'm not litigating.

01:32:56.000 So the issue is, you've made a determination about Georgia.

01:32:59.000 You've then determined that anyone who opposes that determination is doing something nefarious.

01:33:04.000 You see my point?

01:33:06.000 Well, it seems like you're asking me to take my standard and apply it as a universal standard, and I'm not prepared to do that.

01:33:14.000 What I'm saying is, if I don't know and don't have the evidence of an outcome, I would expect certification and confirmation If a woman goes to the police and says, this man committed a crime against me, I would expect the police to actually do some kind of preliminary investigation.

01:33:32.000 Not necessarily condemn the guy or charge him or arrest him, but to be like, we'll look into it.

01:33:37.000 If a politician goes to the police and says that their daughter had been brutally assaulted and raped and the cops were like, well, I'm not going to do anything about it.

01:33:44.000 And the guy says, look, I'm just asking you to go and investigate the guy.

01:33:47.000 That is not, in my opinion, undue pressure.

01:33:50.000 For a politician to get some kind of legal outcome, it's literally what everyone is supposed to do if they feel something bad happened.

01:33:57.000 I don't know what happened in Georgia.

01:34:00.000 I think Trump's fraud narrative is wrong.

01:34:02.000 I think they explained exactly how they won with the shadow campaign changing procedural rules.

01:34:07.000 Trump's argument here is that they were lax on signature verification.

01:34:13.000 And that if they looked into it, they would probably find hundreds of thousands.

01:34:17.000 I don't know if that's true or not.

01:34:18.000 It's immaterial.

01:34:20.000 The issue is they didn't actually check.

01:34:22.000 And the only way you'd actually seek to rectify a problem like that is to go to them and say, do it.

01:34:28.000 So my issue is, while I disagree with Trump, I don't see any other way to seek remedy other than asking someone to do a verification of it.

01:34:36.000 Well, this is obviously not a hill I'm prepared to die on, but I would say that what you guys are saying is totally fair.

01:34:42.000 I think that this is the basis for a case.

01:34:44.000 Because if it's as you say, and it's all in the up and up, then that's going to be the defense's position.

01:34:52.000 But if it is the case that he was trying to sway the election inappropriately, that's a serious offense.

01:34:56.000 So I'm just saying that it's a serious case, unlike, for example, Stormy Daniels, which is totally frivolous.

01:35:01.000 But let me ask you this.

01:35:02.000 What if they do go back and find, actually we found 12,000 mismatched signatures?

01:35:08.000 Would you then think Trump was acting inappropriately if they confirmed that he was right?

01:35:13.000 It would definitely change the context of my thinking about this.

01:35:15.000 But they didn't actually go back and take Trump's request seriously, so then...

01:35:19.000 We'll never know.

01:35:20.000 But then, so how could you have a negative view if they didn't do anything?

01:35:23.000 You know what I mean?

01:35:23.000 Like, if they went back and said Trump was wrong, then I'd agree with you.

01:35:26.000 I'd be like, wow, Trump was totally wrong.

01:35:29.000 So, Trump's argument here was mismatched signatures.

01:35:34.000 And it's like, well, I don't know, maybe.

01:35:36.000 I mean, the fraud stuff, I certainly think is wrong.

01:35:38.000 That was weird.

01:35:39.000 That was like Dominion and stuff and the CIA and all that was out of the question.

01:35:43.000 But arguing about lax signature verification policies, something totally different.

01:35:49.000 Yeah.

01:35:49.000 So your point is, since it didn't amount to anything, then there's no real—it's not—it's like an attempt to— Well, it's like, look, if you have two people who are standing before a judge and one saying X and one saying Y, I think it's inappropriate to be like, how dare you ask that question, Person A, when a judge should be like, okay, show me your evidence.

01:36:09.000 And then the person will be like, here's a list of things I think justifies my claim.

01:36:13.000 And the judge should then be like, person B, do you have a counter claim to refute this?

01:36:18.000 And then if investigation is like, if there's probable cause, then a court should be like,

01:36:22.000 okay, we're going to grant a signature verification request to see if these claims are accurate.

01:36:28.000 **Matt Stauffer** I mean, it's sort of like, okay, to take an extreme example,

01:36:31.000 if you were to, if you're an elected official and you went to somebody and you're like,

01:36:34.000 you're like, listen, you know, it seems like you might need help with your

01:36:40.000 daughter's private school education. And like, like, does that have interest to you?

01:36:44.000 And oh, by the way, I'm looking for this particular favor and you're saying everything short of, You know, directly offering a bribe.

01:36:51.000 You could have the same litigation around whether this was entirely—maybe he was just trying to help out the person's daughter who was going to private school, you know?

01:36:58.000 Like, it would come down to this mind-reading thing, or you could look at the totality of the circumstances and say, this looks a lot like a bribe.

01:37:06.000 But I think that situation, it's easier to make a quid pro quo, right?

01:37:09.000 Because Trump doesn't say specifically, I could do this thing for you.

01:37:13.000 Yeah, he just said, hey, I think this thing happened.

01:37:16.000 Will you check?

01:37:16.000 And they said, no.

01:37:17.000 And then he was like, are you kidding me?

01:37:19.000 And they're like, no, go away.

01:37:21.000 And then your attitude is like, how dare Trump ask for a remedy to a perceived problem?

01:37:26.000 If someone... So there's a few questions around this.

01:37:30.000 I mean, if we're dealing with matters of public interest, then I don't think the Fourth Amendment plays a role.

01:37:35.000 If the government is involved in something, then the government has a right to publish to the people the results of a search.

01:37:42.000 I don't see how it makes sense that... I'll put it this way.

01:37:45.000 If someone came to me, if someone to the cops and said, you know, Tim Poole stole my spoons, The cops would be like, we'll talk to him and we'll see what's going on.

01:37:55.000 And then if they can't get any probable cause to get a warrant, too bad, so sad, have a nice day.

01:37:59.000 And that's it.

01:38:01.000 However, if it's a group of police officers are carrying a bunch of spoons and then one person says, they stole my spoons.

01:38:09.000 And another person says, actually they didn't, you're lying.

01:38:12.000 And then a person calls the police chief and says, look, just look in the police locker room.

01:38:17.000 And if the spoons are there, that proves it.

01:38:20.000 I don't see that as undoing.

01:38:22.000 If a politician did it, it doesn't matter.

01:38:24.000 The fact is, we're dealing with an election.

01:38:26.000 The smartest thing in the world to do would be for Georgia to be like, you know what, Trump?

01:38:30.000 So that we can throw out all confusion.

01:38:33.000 We absolutely will do the check and prove to you you're wrong.

01:38:37.000 Instead, they said, we're going to arrest you and criminally indict you for daring to ask.

01:38:41.000 I'm applying the same standard that I would apply to the situation that we discussed earlier in which Tony Blinken called Michael Morell and he said, I'm very concerned about the possibility of Russian interference in the election around the Hunter Biden laptop story.

01:38:58.000 But he never asked, according to Morell's testimony, He never said, could you write this letter?

01:39:05.000 But Michael Morrell took his marching orders and like you could say, maybe Blinken was just concerned about Russian disinformation.

01:39:11.000 But you're insinuating that Trump was secretly instructing them to fabricate ballots.

01:39:15.000 Is that what you're saying?

01:39:18.000 I mean, this, I don't know.

01:39:19.000 I'm not sure that he even had it that well thought out.

01:39:25.000 I think it's much more crass than that.

01:39:27.000 It's just like, Do what you need to do, but this is my priority.

01:39:31.000 Go do it.

01:39:32.000 I don't want to dogpile, but I just want to make a point about the analogy.

01:39:36.000 I think part of where it breaks down is with Blinken.

01:39:40.000 They all came out and said this was Russian disinformation, even though it wasn't.

01:39:45.000 I think that's what makes that situation different and really egregious, is they ended up saying something that wasn't true for a political campaign.

01:39:55.000 Well, let's go to Super Chats, because we're not going to resolve that one, but I think we made our points.

01:39:59.000 And then, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, become a member at TimCast.com, click to join us on the website, you'll get access to our Discord server to hang out with like-minded individuals, and access to the members-only Uncensored show, which will be on the front page at about 10.10pm.

01:40:15.000 But for now, we will read what y'all have to say in the Super Chats.

01:40:18.000 I'm not your buddy, guys, says.

01:40:20.000 It's sad seeing heroes who stand up being crushed, whether it's Julian Assange, James O'Keefe, Donald Trump, or Tucker Carlson.

01:40:26.000 Globalism is slavery.

01:40:28.000 Or Captain America.

01:40:29.000 Or Captain America. 0.99

01:40:31.000 By the way, Luke was in chat saying Seamus is a dog and then later a dirty dog. 0.99

01:40:36.000 So he's still upset. 0.99

01:40:37.000 That is deeply offensive.

01:40:39.000 I know.

01:40:40.000 All right.

01:40:40.000 Koldilocks Production says, I deleted Fox News app, unsubbed from them on YouTube, and unfollowed them on Rumble and Apple News Watch.

01:40:48.000 They showed their true colors this week, and legacy media can go fade to nothing.

01:40:52.000 Hear, hear, good sir.

01:40:54.000 All right.

01:40:55.000 SA Federali says, Tim, Steven Crowder says, Rumble is under DDoS while they grow.

01:40:59.000 You need to get Tucker and Zero Hedge under that umbrella and pay at least $20 a month or $40 for a good option to show the hand the market beats communism.

01:41:08.000 Yup, yup.

01:41:10.000 Alright, what do we got? 0.84

01:41:11.000 Max Reddick says, Tim, I know you and Crowder are friends, but can we put that aside for a minute to acknowledge that he was crappy to Daily Wire and Dave Landau, accused Candace Owens of extortion, and now he used his divorce as a grift, crappy.

01:41:25.000 I don't know at all what's going on, man.

01:41:27.000 Earlier there was a video from Crowder talking about a divorce and insinuating, he played like a clip of Candace Owens and insinuated he was being extorted or something, then Candace Owens said that he's accusing her of extortion.

01:41:36.000 It's like, dude, I ain't got nothing to do with that, nor do I know.

01:41:41.000 And there's, you know, we talked about the Landau thing, and then I'm hearing other people comment that it's not true.

01:41:49.000 Crowder was shouting out Landau's comedy dates and stuff, and I'm like, look, man, I'm not here to get into fights with people like Crowder or Candace or whatever, because I got no idea what their thing is.

01:41:59.000 You know what I mean?

01:42:00.000 That had nothing to do with me.

01:42:01.000 They're already fighting with me, and I'm a far more formidable foe.

01:42:04.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, they're coming after Seamus.

01:42:06.000 No, I'm fighting with you, I'm saying.

01:42:07.000 You already have this war with me.

01:42:10.000 Oh, right, right, right.

01:42:11.000 You know, like, I woke up in the morning and all the potatoes were gone.

01:42:13.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:42:14.000 I was like, you want to make racist jokes?

01:42:16.000 I'll show you.

01:42:17.000 I'll take all the potatoes.

01:42:18.000 But it really backfired because I was like, why does Seamus have all the potatoes?

01:42:20.000 I was like, it's not like... Well, it actually backfired because we were going to make hash browns for Seamus for breakfast.

01:42:25.000 Yeah.

01:42:26.000 We couldn't find the potatoes.

01:42:26.000 Actually, that was really thoughtful of you guys.

01:42:28.000 That was very hurtful to your Irish heart.

01:42:30.000 It was.

01:42:30.000 I just felt it was like, that actually would have, that would have been enjoyable.

01:42:34.000 And that was a thoughtful plan.

01:42:35.000 Yeah, and we are gonna sprinkle lava salt on it.

01:42:38.000 It's a special kind of, very special salt.

01:42:41.000 Could you do it tomorrow, maybe?

01:42:43.000 Uh, you have to get back to potatoes.

01:42:44.000 Yeah, that's not gonna happen, buddy.

01:42:47.000 Alright, what do we got?

01:42:48.000 Lithian Cross says, could all this be a media purging campaign?

01:42:51.000 A lot of big personalities have been either removed or attacked, James O'Keefe being where it all began.

01:42:56.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:42:57.000 James O'Keefe, Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson, Nate Silver, BuzzFeed News in its entirety?

01:43:03.000 Wow.

01:43:04.000 I didn't even know about the James O'Keefe thing until like a couple hours ago.

01:43:06.000 What happened?

01:43:07.000 Why was he fired from Veritas?

01:43:09.000 He resigned.

01:43:10.000 He was ousted, put on leave because a letter circulated within the company accusing him of just impropriety, which was clearly BS.

01:43:16.000 Like financial?

01:43:17.000 No, well, sort of.

01:43:18.000 They claimed that he was using company funds for a wedding, but it was like a Veritas.

01:43:25.000 So there's two stories.

01:43:27.000 First, they said he used company funds for his wedding venue.

01:43:30.000 Then someone said, no, that was for the Veritas corporate party.

01:43:32.000 And then someone else said, actually it was for his wedding.

01:43:35.000 When that got canceled, he just used it for the Veritas party.

01:43:40.000 And I'm like, I literally don't care.

01:43:42.000 So like James O'Keefe, as far as I'm concerned, should be getting paid five times as much money than he is.

01:43:50.000 We can see the 990s for Veritas.

01:43:52.000 We saw how much he was making.

01:43:52.000 I think it was like 300 to 400k or whatever.

01:43:54.000 And I'm like, this dude got raided by the feds, is doing some of those consequential journals in the world.

01:43:59.000 If anyone deserves to be wealthy off their job, it's James O'Keefe.

01:44:02.000 So the fact that they were like, and he used the money to set up a corporate party, but it was really because he couldn't get a refund back for a wedding.

01:44:09.000 I'm like, so what?

01:44:11.000 I don't care if the company bought him a McLaren.

01:44:13.000 You know, like, give the guy a trophy made of gold!

01:44:16.000 The real story is he went undercover to marry somebody.

01:44:18.000 That's right.

01:44:19.000 Yeah, he was filming them the entire time when he wanted to, like, live out a whole marriage with some lefty so he could really, really expose them.

01:44:26.000 That's why they were allowed to have Veritas pay for the wedding. 0.78

01:44:28.000 Alright, what is this?

01:44:29.000 What is this?

01:44:30.000 Uh, S.A.

01:44:31.000 Federale.

01:44:32.000 Max is actually grifting.

01:44:33.000 Candace went low. 0.99

01:44:34.000 Steven never did anything wrong.

01:44:36.000 Who's Max?

01:44:37.000 What are they referring to?

01:44:38.000 Max?

01:44:39.000 Max who?

01:44:41.000 No idea.

01:44:41.000 Yeah, who's Max?

01:44:43.000 All right, Scrubby McScrubberson says, Tim, Eamon Bundy put on FBI Most Wanted List, issued default judgment by judge, and Pop Property was surrounded.

01:44:50.000 He held a massive barbecue to avoid a standoff.

01:44:53.000 We had him on the show.

01:44:54.000 It was great.

01:44:55.000 All right, Martin Edgar says, Stand Your Grounds needs to be a triple shot cappuccino blend.

01:45:02.000 Well, that's the challenge.

01:45:04.000 Espresso blends are darker and that has less caffeine in it.

01:45:07.000 You know, lighter roasts have more caffeine.

01:45:09.000 So we would want to do like a light espresso roast so that it would probably have a higher caffeine concentration, you know?

01:45:17.000 All right.

01:45:19.000 Infernal Saxon says Wizards of the Coast sent to the Pinkertons after someone.

01:45:22.000 I don't know if you guys heard the story, but Wizards of the Coast, they make Magic the Gathering.

01:45:27.000 There's this guy, he got sent a set of cards that hasn't come out yet.

01:45:31.000 And what he thinks happened is there's a set called...

01:45:35.000 What is it called?

01:45:36.000 Something Machines or whatever.

01:45:38.000 And then there was a new set that's got the same name as his Aftermath.

01:45:42.000 He went to a dealer who said, I've got these boxes.

01:45:44.000 He bought them.

01:45:44.000 Then he realized, wait, wait, these don't come out for a week or for like two weeks.

01:45:49.000 So he made a video about it.

01:45:50.000 And then Wizard of the Coast hired the Pinkerton Security Agency to go to his house and shake him down and seize his property from him.

01:45:56.000 Why would you do that?

01:45:56.000 it to him. That's the weirdest thing. Why would you do that?

01:45:59.000 I don't know. You don't have a right to this. He was like, they were saying they'd

01:46:02.000 replace the product and they're trying to figure out how it got out. And what he said was

01:46:06.000 he thinks someone sent it out by accident. But I don't care.

01:46:09.000 If I legitimately purchase something, and a private security company shows up to my house, the first thing I'm going to say is, by entering my property, you're already committing burglary because we have a physical barrier, so you can GTFO right now, or I will defend my property.

01:46:22.000 Dude, is this the nerd John Wick who ends up fighting a bunch of private security task force people to the death over the cards he got?

01:46:29.000 Yeah, it'd be better if it was like Yu-Gi-Oh cards, though.

01:46:31.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:46:32.000 They come into his house to take his Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and he just gets into a gunfight with them over it.

01:46:36.000 I mean, John Wick was over a puppy, though, right?

01:46:38.000 We all understand that.

01:46:40.000 We can understand.

01:46:41.000 Look, it's a lovable little dog.

01:46:42.000 This dude is like, he took my cards.

01:46:44.000 His wife got him the dog when she died.

01:46:46.000 Right, right.

01:46:47.000 And so, they killed the dog.

01:46:50.000 John Wick's awesome.

01:46:51.000 I gotta watch part four, I haven't seen it.

01:46:53.000 I haven't seen it either.

01:46:54.000 Yeah, it just came out.

01:46:55.000 John Wick's a good story.

01:46:56.000 The first one's the best one, the rest are just good fun.

01:46:59.000 But the first one's, like, such a good story.

01:47:01.000 Yeah, I saw the first one.

01:47:02.000 I didn't see any of the other ones.

01:47:04.000 Yeah.

01:47:05.000 Alright!

01:47:07.000 S.A.

01:47:07.000 Federales' Mug Club is the best thing since Murdoch became Bud Light?

01:47:11.000 What?

01:47:11.000 Murdoch?

01:47:12.000 Let's make a sponsorship now for Tucker Carlson and Zero Hedge.

01:47:14.000 I'd pay more than my mortgages.

01:47:17.000 I mean, that's up to them, you know?

01:47:19.000 I don't know what Tucker Carlson's gonna do.

01:47:21.000 It's gonna be up to them to start something.

01:47:24.000 All right, Servie Rose, Servie Rose says, Please stop calling CBDCs crypto.

01:47:28.000 They may be ledgers, and they may use blockchain as a data store, but they are not decentralized.

01:47:33.000 Crypto doesn't mean decentralized.

01:47:36.000 So, and there's a lot of cryptocurrencies that are centralized.

01:47:39.000 Like Ethereum is, I believe Ethereum for the most part is centralized.

01:47:42.000 I actually have a question about, I was asking a friend who knows much more about this than I do, and you guys do too, but about the new currency.

01:47:49.000 So isn't the whole purpose of blockchain that you don't create anymore, right?

01:47:54.000 There's only a finite amount out there?

01:47:56.000 No, no, no.

01:47:56.000 Bitcoin is finite.

01:47:58.000 Okay.

01:47:58.000 Dogecoin's not.

01:47:59.000 Dogecoin's inflationary.

01:48:00.000 Okay.

01:48:01.000 So Dogecoin's actually fairly smart.

01:48:02.000 And although it's based on a meme, people need to understand like, it's kind of legit.

01:48:07.000 I do own a little bit, full disclosure, but the idea with Dogecoin is that the monetary supply increases by a certain percentage every year, so that there is a controlled volume increase, which does make sense.

01:48:17.000 So with this new currency, would the Feds still have the ability to be able to create money?

01:48:24.000 Yes, easily.

01:48:25.000 They would never, right?

01:48:26.000 They would never issue a currency that they couldn't create, manipulate, make more of.

01:48:30.000 So then what exactly is the difference between what we're talking about and just Cash.

01:48:34.000 Or like cash in the form of numbers on a screen.

01:48:37.000 Every transaction is tracked in a ledger so they can see everywhere you've gone, plug it into an AI and then follow you every step of your existence.

01:48:43.000 Well, CVDCs are also programmable so they can prevent you from spending your money on certain purchases like guns.

01:48:49.000 So this is terrible.

01:48:50.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:48:51.000 Yeah, very bad for us.

01:48:52.000 So it's, what'll happen is, There are things you do in your life that you do not realize correlate.

01:48:59.000 So what we found is Facebook, for instance, knows when you poop.

01:49:03.000 They know when you're going to poop.

01:49:04.000 Yeah.

01:49:05.000 Because what they found is... I'm not on Facebook, do they know when I poop?

01:49:07.000 Yes, because you are on Facebook.

01:49:09.000 You're wrong.

01:49:10.000 Facebook has something called shadow profiles.

01:49:12.000 You know shadow profiles?

01:49:13.000 Yeah.

01:49:14.000 So, what they'll do is, they'll say, if a person moves 3 meters in, you know, within a span of 20 seconds, and then stops and pauses, and it's between the time period of 7am and 9pm, there is a 73.9% chance they'll go to the bathroom within 10 minutes.

01:49:32.000 Because the AI can see patterns we can't see.

01:49:35.000 So now plug in a CBDC, a Central Bank Digital Currency.

01:49:39.000 They will have pre-crime.

01:49:41.000 They will say there is a 97% chance that when someone goes to this location and to that location, a day later they will purchase a narcotic from this location.

01:49:52.000 And they will be waiting for you with pre-crime agents and an old man being like, precogs have found that you are going to buy drugs.

01:50:01.000 So then you'll be like, ah, this is something for people to understand about the censorship industrial complex.

01:50:06.000 Because I think people probably think of it as like a bunch of, you know, spies and home monitors, just like doing Google, Google searches, looking for people spreading this quote, unquote, disinformation or Twitter searches, whatever.

01:50:17.000 And that is some of it.

01:50:19.000 But most of it, the overwhelming majority of it, was driven by AI.

01:50:23.000 So already, I'm not talking about the future.

01:50:25.000 I'm talking about like the Stanford Internet Observatory and all these groups would have AI algorithms

01:50:30.000 that would run sort of searches based on themes.

01:50:35.000 And then they would catch as many, hundreds of thousands and millions of social media posts

01:50:41.000 within that bucket.

01:50:42.000 And then they would send it to the platforms.

01:50:44.000 So that was already happening.

01:50:46.000 The AI is getting better and better.

01:50:47.000 The future that we're afraid of with the censorship industrial complex stuff is that, you know, it's all going to be run on AI and the AI is going to dwarf what we have now.

01:50:58.000 It's already happened.

01:50:58.000 Everything that you see, everything that you read, everything that you post is going to be filtered through AI that either increases it or throttles it for viewers and controls what you see.

01:51:11.000 And that's what they're trying to construct.

01:51:14.000 I think it's already been constructed.

01:51:16.000 Yeah.

01:51:17.000 And we're just seeing the surface that's already existed for a long time.

01:51:20.000 Alright, here's a scary one.

01:51:22.000 David Kirkpatrick said Sandy Spring Bank had to pull $21 million out of reserves to cover losses and is now laying off $60.

01:51:28.000 This is driven by the Fed's rate increases.

01:51:30.000 The bank did too many low-rate loans and is losing money.

01:51:34.000 Yeah, I think it's, uh...

01:51:38.000 gonna collapse and then they're gonna introduce CBDC. The working theory I have, maybe I'm wrong,

01:51:42.000 I don't know, I don't know what the probability is, is that there's gonna be a bunch of banks

01:51:46.000 that collapse, they're gonna come in and say, you've been rescued, download our app,

01:51:49.000 and we will transfer your funds into, you know, GovCoin or whatever they'll call it.

01:51:54.000 And then people are gonna do it with glee.

01:51:57.000 They're going to be like, oh no, my money's all gone.

01:51:59.000 The bank collapsed.

01:52:00.000 And what's going to happen is the Republicans are going to be like, no, no, no.

01:52:04.000 And the Democrats are going to be like, yes, yes, yes.

01:52:06.000 And people are going to be like, the Democrats need, like the government needs to do this.

01:52:11.000 How am I supposed to pay my employees?

01:52:12.000 How am I supposed to pay my bills?

01:52:14.000 And then everyone's going to go and vote Democrat.

01:52:16.000 The Democrats are going to rubber stamp the CBDC.

01:52:18.000 And then your bank is going to dissolve, but the app will have all of your funds in it.

01:52:23.000 Here it comes.

01:52:25.000 They will make you beg for the servitude.

01:52:29.000 That's smart.

01:52:30.000 You know, if you try to impose this on people, they're going to resist.

01:52:33.000 You make them beg you for it.

01:52:36.000 That's the case with the censorship stuff.

01:52:38.000 This is organic.

01:52:41.000 It's coming from the top down, but it's also coming from the bottom up.

01:52:43.000 People are demanding this stuff.

01:52:46.000 All right, let's get some more Super Chats.

01:52:48.000 Okay, I have to point something out.

01:52:49.000 Luke's still talking smack on the chat, and he missed a great opportunity for a pun.

01:52:54.000 Luke, I want you to be better at this, so I'm going to critique your insult.

01:52:56.000 He said Shameless is already on Leprechaun coin.

01:53:01.000 You should have said Leprecoin.

01:53:03.000 I mean, it's unbelievable, dude.

01:53:04.000 No, it does say Leprecoin.

01:53:05.000 Leprecoin coin?

01:53:07.000 Then he wrote coin twice. 0.99

01:53:09.000 Foolish. 0.98

01:53:10.000 Two coins? 1.00

01:53:11.000 That's how you get inflation, idiot. 1.00

01:53:14.000 Yeah, Luke's so dumb. 1.00

01:53:15.000 Luke's so dumb. 1.00

01:53:17.000 Get better at it, bro. 1.00

01:53:18.000 Alright.

01:53:19.000 Sam says, in Back to the Future 2, in 2015, Marty is asked to donate to a charity by thumbing $100 by scanning his thumb for a funds transfer.

01:53:27.000 Isn't it funny that Back to the Future 2 took place in 2015?

01:53:31.000 And it was exactly, it was exactly like that.

01:53:33.000 I know, I mean it's crazy because in 2015 I was riding around Times Square on a hoverboard while like sharks and dinosaurs were coming out of the ads.

01:53:39.000 This is what they took from us.

01:53:40.000 We do have the 3D ads though now.

01:53:42.000 You know, if you go to Times Square and you look at the ads bent and you can, it looks like, you know.

01:53:46.000 Three-dimensional.

01:53:47.000 Really?

01:53:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:53:49.000 Because it's at an angle, and then the way the video is.

01:53:52.000 So if you're looking straight at it from one side, it looks really weird.

01:53:54.000 But if you're standing at the right angle, it looks three-dimensional.

01:53:57.000 Like it's coming out of the end.

01:53:58.000 Wow.

01:53:59.000 Yeah.

01:54:00.000 Some Blade Runner.

01:54:01.000 What do we got next?

01:54:03.000 Joe Spinell says Blackrock increased its stock ownership of Fox to over 15% in February.

01:54:07.000 I'm pretty certain those at Blackrock aren't fans of Tucker.

01:54:11.000 Yep.

01:54:12.000 Tyler Bachman says, I have narcolepsy.

01:54:14.000 I take modafinil.

01:54:15.000 You're good for about eight to 12 hours.

01:54:17.000 Haven't encountered dry skin in the five years I've been taking the drug.

01:54:19.000 The drug is one of three drugs that allows me to have a relatively normal life.

01:54:23.000 Oh, wow.

01:54:25.000 Captain Caveman says, is Seamus Ian's replacement asking for a friend?

01:54:29.000 No.

01:54:29.000 Seamus is Luke's replacement.

01:54:31.000 That's right.

01:54:32.000 Yeah.

01:54:32.000 Ian's just, uh, where is he?

01:54:34.000 Straight into the camera.

01:54:35.000 That's right.

01:54:36.000 You're never coming back, Luke.

01:54:38.000 This is my seat now.

01:54:40.000 Enjoy.

01:54:41.000 Enjoy obscurity.

01:54:43.000 Well, you know what we'll do?

01:54:44.000 To be fair to Luke, we'll give Luke 48 hours to come back.

01:54:49.000 And if he doesn't, we'll write Seamus on the chair.

01:54:52.000 It's my chair.

01:54:52.000 That's right.

01:54:54.000 You won't be back.

01:54:55.000 So there you go.

01:54:56.000 You're afraid.

01:54:57.000 We Are Change writes, Shameless likes to drink bug light as he tries to kick helpless dugs.

01:55:02.000 Luke, you should say that a fourth time in chat.

01:55:04.000 I bet it'll get even funnier.

01:55:06.000 Is it the fourth time he said it?

01:55:07.000 It's like the fourth time he said it, yeah.

01:55:08.000 Bug-lite?

01:55:09.000 Bug-lite.

01:55:10.000 Like you eat bugs?

01:55:11.000 He doesn't know how to spell.

01:55:12.000 He was trying to say bug-lite.

01:55:13.000 He says, no one can replace me.

01:55:15.000 Well, you know, Luke, you're right.

01:55:17.000 So if you're here within 48 hours, we'll give you your chair back.

01:55:19.000 Otherwise, we're writing Seamus on it.

01:55:22.000 I will take a silver paint marker and I will write Seamus on the chair.

01:55:25.000 Ooh, that's gonna hurt.

01:55:28.000 Sorry, buddy.

01:55:30.000 Captain Caveman says, what's a potato's favorite TV show?

01:55:33.000 Starch Trek.

01:55:34.000 Wow.

01:55:35.000 I heard someone in chat who actually made a clever pun about Bud Light said, spud light is what I drink.

01:55:43.000 That's pretty good.

01:55:45.000 This potato thing all started because I was watching Leprechaun.

01:55:48.000 I think it was Leprechaun 2, I'm not sure.

01:55:50.000 And Seamus walks in and he's like, what are you watching?

01:55:50.000 Yes.

01:55:53.000 And he looks at the screen and there's a guy turning Irish because he got bit by a leprechaun.

01:55:58.000 And he orders from the waitress.

01:56:00.000 This really happens in the movie.

01:56:01.000 He's like, I want mashed potatoes, french fries, tater tots, and waffle fries.

01:56:06.000 And he's eating a whole bunch of different french fries and Seamus just turns and sees this guy and he's like, what is this?

01:56:10.000 This is the most racist thing I've ever seen.

01:56:12.000 I can't believe this. 0.94

01:56:14.000 But no joke, the guy gets bitten by the leprechaun and starts turning Irish. 1.00

01:56:18.000 That's literally what happens.

01:56:19.000 Yeah.

01:56:20.000 And he starts embodying all these Irish stereotypes. 0.62

01:56:22.000 But potatoes?

01:56:23.000 This is our representation in media?

01:56:26.000 But the messed up thing is potatoes aren't even endemic to Ireland.

01:56:29.000 That's a lie. 0.86

01:56:30.000 That's a dirty lie. 0.57

01:56:31.000 They were introduced to Ireland.

01:56:32.000 Stop it. 1.00

01:56:33.000 You're a liar. 1.00

01:56:33.000 Stop it. 1.00

01:56:34.000 You're a liar. 1.00

01:56:35.000 No, that is true technically. 0.99

01:56:36.000 So basically what they're doing... It's metaphorically false.

01:56:39.000 The leprechaun movie was using the potato famine as, like, a stereotype about Irish people because they didn't have potatoes.

01:56:47.000 You can say anything about it.

01:56:48.000 Listen, Irish people weren't considered white until being white meant you had to apologize for being white all the time. 0.97

01:56:53.000 Like, it's just, we're the group that everyone can make fun of and crap on, but we're gonna get sick of it. 0.94

01:56:58.000 Jonathan Howe says, Tim, please get Tucker on IRL.

01:57:02.000 Yes.

01:57:03.000 Like, I love when people are just like, you should have Trump on the show.

01:57:05.000 I'm like, yeah, we should.

01:57:07.000 It's great.

01:57:08.000 You should get Tucker.

01:57:08.000 Uh-huh.

01:57:09.000 All right.

01:57:10.000 You know, and Brad Pitt.

01:57:12.000 Maybe Tom Cruise.

01:57:12.000 Tucker, if you're listening, don't come on.

01:57:14.000 Tim doesn't deserve it.

01:57:16.000 He doesn't deserve your presence.

01:57:18.000 Come on to Shamer. 0.98

01:57:19.000 Rumble.com slash Shamer.

01:57:20.000 Oh yeah, but we reached out to Tucker's team, and he is cognizant of the desire.

01:57:27.000 And we'll see what happens.

01:57:27.000 He is aware.

01:57:29.000 It's up to him, you know.

01:57:30.000 We'll have him out when he wants to come out.

01:57:31.000 Maybe when he's launching his show, he'll come here and announce it, and we'll have like a big thing where he's like, you know... Here's my new show!

01:57:36.000 It's amazing.

01:57:37.000 It's called... Shamer. 1.00

01:57:39.000 I'm stealing his podcast name.

01:57:41.000 Like, what?

01:57:42.000 Tucker's just stealing my name.

01:57:43.000 My new podcast is called Freedom Tunes.

01:57:45.000 He snaps his fingers, and then two guys come and just carry you out of the room.

01:57:48.000 You guys write, you cross out Seamus on my chair and write Tucker on it.

01:57:51.000 Yeah.

01:57:52.000 Luke has been replaced.

01:57:53.000 First, it was Seamus.

01:57:55.000 Now it's me.

01:57:57.000 All right, what do we got?

01:57:58.000 John Curson says, Tyler Fisher Jordan Peterson impersonation is greater than Potato Man's Jordan impression.

01:58:05.000 I mean, if you want to debase yourself by lying in the chat, that's fine.

01:58:08.000 But just know you'll be held accountable for it.

01:58:11.000 Okay.

01:58:11.000 Yeah.

01:58:13.000 I just had a super chat and it just jumped away from me.

01:58:13.000 What did we just say?

01:58:17.000 Where did it go?

01:58:18.000 It said something about, uh... I can't, I can't find it.

01:58:22.000 You know, when the superchats come in, it'll load a whole bunch and then just jump ahead.

01:58:27.000 Yeah.

01:58:28.000 Yeah.

01:58:30.000 Matt Zorella says, Bud Light, when you don't want to lose money, but you want to lose a lot of it.

01:58:36.000 Well, so the joke is Bud Light is the beer for people who don't want to drink beer, but want to drink a lot of it.

01:58:40.000 But that makes sense.

01:58:41.000 Because, like, I don't really want to drink any beer, but you want to get drunk.

01:58:44.000 Whereas, like, you don't want to lose money, but you want to lose a lot of it.

01:58:47.000 It's like... I don't know.

01:58:49.000 But I get it.

01:58:50.000 They're losing money.

01:58:52.000 What is this one?

01:58:53.000 Tenny Ball says, I'm a St.

01:58:55.000 Louis native, home of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

01:58:57.000 Apology or not, they are dead to me.

01:58:59.000 Thankfully, Yingling is available over here now.

01:59:01.000 That's cool, because it's like an East Coast thing.

01:59:03.000 I love Yingling.

01:59:04.000 They're good.

01:59:05.000 It's like a D.C.

01:59:05.000 Yeah, it's good stuff.

01:59:06.000 thing, right?

01:59:07.000 Middle of nowhere.

01:59:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:59:09.000 It's a Pennsylvania beer, but it's like all over the place out here.

01:59:09.000 P.A.

01:59:13.000 And I noticed, like, everybody orders it.

01:59:14.000 It's, like, the thing to order, you know?

01:59:17.000 And then further you go west, it disappears, which is weird, because it's, like, super prominent.

01:59:21.000 I don't think, like, New York, is it on tap?

01:59:24.000 We should make Yingling the replacement for Bud Light.

01:59:27.000 Everybody insist that your bar carry this brand.

01:59:30.000 Yeah.

01:59:31.000 No, Tim, we gotta make, uh, Seamus's beer or whatever.

01:59:31.000 You know.

01:59:35.000 Well, there is, to be fair, this Conservative Dad's Ultra Right beer.

01:59:38.000 I heard about that.

01:59:39.000 We ordered 600 cans of it.

01:59:41.000 Wow.

01:59:41.000 Yeah.

01:59:42.000 I recommend against drinking alcohol, by the way.

01:59:44.000 I really do.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, I think it's bad.

01:59:45.000 Really?

01:59:47.000 Well, it's definitely bad, but it's also fun.

01:59:47.000 Yeah.

01:59:49.000 Well, I'd say it can be good in moderation.

01:59:50.000 If you're an adult of proper legal drinking age, then you can make the decision for yourself.

01:59:56.000 But me, I think it's no es bueno.

01:59:58.000 But I understand, you know, it's a beer.

01:59:58.000 No es bueno.

01:59:59.000 Timmy can't control himself.

02:00:00.000 He gets one sip and he goes, ah, it's happening.

02:00:03.000 It's happening.

02:00:04.000 Give me more.

02:00:05.000 I'll drink the Bud Light.

02:00:06.000 I don't care.

02:00:08.000 Derek Menson says Seamus talks big for a guy from a country that looks like the Apple logo with the UK taking a bite out of it.

02:00:16.000 First of all, I never talk big.

02:00:18.000 Alright?

02:00:20.000 Secondly, I'm really from America.
