On this week's episode of the Part of the Problem, we discuss the ongoing saga of the Democratic Party trying to impeach Donald Trump, the possible impeachment of the President, and the CIA releasing UFO documents. We also hear about the Joint Chiefs warning against supporting MAGA and the idea of sending all Trump supporters to a re-education camp.
00:00:20.000you Donald Trump hasn't been saying a whole lot in this past
00:00:45.000week but he did recently come out saying impeachment was a bad idea.
00:00:49.000He's saying he's not going to get removed under the 25th Amendment, and I think he's probably right, because when Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer called Mike Pence, he had them wait on hold for 25 minutes, and then the aide came back on and said, he's not going to take your call, so that was kind of brutal.
00:01:03.000I really don't think they're going to get what they want, but they are moving to impeach, and here's where it gets a little different, however.
00:01:08.000Mitch McConnell's reportedly pleased that Republicans are expressing their intent to vote to impeach Trump.
00:01:14.000Well, he's pleased that Democrats are moving forward.
00:01:17.000There's now reports from one New York Times reporter that up to 20 Republican senators are open to convicting the president.
00:01:25.000I couldn't believe it myself when I heard it because I'm like, well, that would be the end of all of these Republicans.
00:01:33.000Most of them have already said no to Trump.
00:01:35.000So I can't imagine Trump voters, the actual party, their actual Republican party base, are gonna turn out for most of them.
00:01:42.000I mean, look, they'll get some, but they lost in Georgia.
00:01:45.000I don't know what's gonna happen in 2022, but they do have the, you know, gerrymandering on their side right now, because many of their, many House-level legislatures were won by Republicans, or I should say, you know, their Senates and their General Assemblies, et cetera.
00:01:58.000So they might be able to gerrymander their way into a victory.
00:02:00.000But I kind of feel like Trump supporters may go in entirely different directions, so we'll see how that plays out.
00:02:28.000We've got a statement now from the Joint Chiefs that the retired officers who were on the ground at the Capitol were committing sedition, and they're warning against following MAGA, I guess.
00:02:38.000So things are getting a whole, like, just kind of crazy.
00:02:42.000And I'm hoping everybody can calm down.
00:02:44.000But now we have this other story from Project Veritas.
00:05:36.000So, yeah, we'll talk about a bunch of stuff.
00:05:38.000Let's get started with this first story.
00:05:41.000And this one is, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pleased At the prospect of Trump being impeached, new report says.
00:05:48.000When I think of Mitch McConnell being pleased, I want to think of, like, Mr. Burns going, excellent, but McConnell's kind of like a turtle.
00:05:56.000You know, it reminds me of, like, Disney.
00:05:58.000They say, from Business Insider, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell believes President Donald Trump has committed multiple impeachable offenses and is pleased at the idea of Trump being impeached and removed from office, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
00:06:12.000The Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote on impeaching Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection on the U.S.
00:07:06.000Yeah, we're all very familiar with Trump's thinking.
00:07:10.000But now he can't express what he's thinking on Twitter anymore.
00:07:14.000Wouldn't it be funny if like Donald Trump, because the last thing he really has is that the old school thing where the president can interrupt broadcast television.
00:07:22.000But like if Trump just did it like every 15 minutes to like Tell you what he was gonna tweet.
00:07:26.000Like, he just comes in and he's like, we have the biggest crowd sizes.
00:09:17.000But I think the problem that all of the establishment types are going to run into, because this is a big moment for them, like they got the guy out who they wanted to get out.
00:09:27.000Then they have this great excuse with the Capitol riot where they can be like, aha, see, we were right about everything and right wing violence and all of this stuff.
00:09:35.000And then they go, well, maybe we'll impeach him now and that'll purge him.
00:09:38.000The problem is that the 74 million people who voted for Donald Trump, the vast,
00:09:44.000vast, vast majority still really, really like Donald Trump.
00:09:47.000And the core of it is that they like his policies better than the neocon policies
00:09:54.000that what he stood for, and I like some of it, not all of it don't like the job
00:10:00.000he did as a president, but if somebody gets up there and gives a Jeb Bush policy,
00:10:18.000Because we have this story from CNN Politics.
00:10:19.000relook at some of these trade deals, make sure it works for America and we're not outsourcing
00:10:23.000jobs that is enormously more popular amongst the Republican base and they can't purge that.
00:10:29.000Well here's the best part. The Republicans are I guess doing everything in their power
00:10:33.000to figure out how to never win again. Yeah. Because we have this story from CNN politics.
00:10:37.000Liz Cheney, number three House Republican to vote to impeach Trump. You know look, if
00:10:44.000they think this is going to win for them, I don't know what to tell them.
00:10:48.000Because poll after poll, even all the polls that were wrong, consistently show Trump has the overwhelming majority.
00:10:54.000And I don't mean like 70%, I mean 90 to 95% of the Republican Party supports the president.
00:11:01.000Now here's where I find something really interesting.
00:11:03.000Not that I trust the New York Times too much, But Jonathan Martin says, a Senate Republican aide tells me he thinks there were about 20, give or take, Republicans who were open to a conviction before our story on McConnell.
00:11:18.000Will that be enough to actually get to 67 senators?
00:11:44.000Well the Daily Mail actually just started a countdown with the days left to have Donald Trump in office and it's I think it's at 183 hours right now and when we look at a lot of these calls we're seeing John Bolton, Liz Cheney, Mitch McConnell.
00:12:00.000Not really the best of the best taking the front leadership when it comes to calling for impeachment.
00:12:06.000And again, they're specifically trying to get him for, quote, incitement of insurrection.
00:12:11.000Donald Trump made some very strong statements against that today.
00:12:14.000But we pretty much see the establishment trying to purge, as Mitch McConnell was alluding to, Donald Trump from the Republican Party.
00:12:21.000I think that was someone familiar with his thinking.
00:12:56.000I've felt this way for the last four years, where I just want... Like, even if I have something I really want to criticize Trump on, and I'm like, I think he did such a terrible job with this, then all of his critics are so insane that you end up spending most of your time being like, okay, no, I'm sorry.
00:13:15.000But then there's legitimate issues like Yemen, like the crazy spending that he did, weapons deal with Saudi Arabia that have to be addressed against Donald Trump.
00:13:48.000You're talking about the mass slaughter, starvation of hundreds of thousands of women and children.
00:13:54.000Not only that, the worst humanitarian crisis in the world right now.
00:13:59.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, In other words, the United States of America and their propped-up regime in Saudi Arabia put a full blockade around what was already the poorest country in the Middle East.
00:14:29.000The United Nations called it the number one humanitarian crisis in the world.
00:14:32.000I'm sure you could make an argument with a few other really bad situations, but it is.
00:15:00.000That's a very low bar with a lot of war criminals with a lot of crimes that had so many people suffering from it.
00:15:06.000And another thing to really consider here, there's even Associated Press articles and investigations that looked into how this Saudi-U.S.
00:15:14.000coalition was working with al-Qaeda and Sunni rebel groups inside of Yemen to go after the Houthi Iranian-backed rebels in that country.
00:15:23.000It's pretty much a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
00:15:26.000The United States is on the side of Saudi Arabia, and they're doing some god-awful things behind al-Qaeda.
00:15:32.000And again, this is something that even the Associated Press admits and talks about through their own investigations.
00:15:38.000Yeah, if you could imagine, right, and I know like you like got like kind of made your bones in like the post 9-11 Yeah, you know world, but could you imagine right even with
00:15:47.000all of the opposition to the terror wars which deserved all of it?
00:15:51.000They were absolutely horrible but that you would say like if I could have grabbed you in
00:15:55.0002005 and told you that in 2020 in 2021 that America would be fighting on the side of
00:16:02.000Saudi Arabia and al-qaeda in in Yemen that we would be that Barack Obama and
00:16:09.000John Brennan and the CIA and Saudi Arabia and Turkey and Israel would be arming al-qaeda in Iraq and arming
00:16:16.000Isis that now we've actually transitioned the war on terror to the war for terror is
00:16:22.000It would have made Americans heads explode I don't I don't think so.
00:16:26.000I think that have been like sounds about right.
00:16:28.000And I think what would have made their heads explode is if you said and it was coming off of a Donald Trump presidency.
00:16:47.000I mean, we had on China Uncensored, they talked about some of the people that Biden's bringing on have praised China and defended them in some of their horrific actions in the South China Sea.
00:16:57.000argued specifically that a China rise is good for the global economy and we need
00:17:01.000to not stand in the way of China becoming the world hegemonic power.
00:17:04.000That's literally officials that are in the State Department under Joe Biden
00:17:08.000that are coming in right now that are gonna be setting policies and as we were
00:17:12.000saying the people of Taiwan and I said this right after the election are the
00:17:15.000biggest losers of this presidential. So let me ask you guys then how much of
00:17:21.000what was going on with Saudi Arabia I mean this this was going on with Brennan.
00:17:24.000This was going on in the Obama administration.
00:17:27.000So is this... Excuse me, the war in Yemen started under Obama.
00:17:31.000The relationship with Saudi Arabia goes back to the 70s.
00:17:33.000Yeah, it goes back to Henry Kissinger literally going to Saudi Arabia and arguing for the larger petrodollar on the world state.
00:17:39.000So Henry Kissinger, again, hands in China, hands in right-wing dictatorships, left-wing dictatorships, and also establishing Saudi Arabia as the global hegemonic power in the Middle East.
00:17:50.000And can I just say, because you added that part, and then I have to, and you're absolutely
00:17:54.000right, and then I have to just add the part about that is that basically what happened
00:17:57.000was after World War II, we entered into the Bretton Woods monetary system, right, where
00:18:02.000gold was, we were on a gold standard at $35 an ounce, and basically everyone else was
00:18:07.000on a dollar standard, because we had all the gold after World War II, because everyone
00:18:10.000else was destroyed and we had all of it.
00:18:12.000So the deal was, don't worry, you can back your currency with dollars, and that's as
00:18:16.000good as gold, because you can trade that in for gold anytime you want.
00:18:19.000And then we cheated, and we had the Federal Reserve printing tons of money, and other
00:18:23.000people started to sniff this out, because basically we were going to the moon and fighting
00:18:27.000a war in Vietnam and doing the Great Society, and other countries were like, wait a minute,
00:18:32.000I don't think you actually have the gold for this.
00:18:34.000And England and France, I believe it was, called our bluff.
00:18:37.000And they said, okay, we're returning all of our dollars, we want our gold.
00:18:41.000And then in 71, Nixon, basically the first great default of American debt said, no, we're not giving it to you.
00:18:50.000And you know, they spun it in this like, you know, They're trying to undermine the sovereignty of the dollar thing, but really it was like that we were cheating and we didn't have any of it.
00:18:57.000So then our money was backed by nothing.
00:19:00.000So following that, this was Kissinger's move to go, we'll back it with oil.
00:19:05.000And then basically you still have some type of commodity standard.
00:20:10.000He's a great president He's showing real leadership Brian Williams was literally family-friendly show Releasing liquids from his pants area when he saw the missiles flying over into Syria beautiful He called it an amazing beautiful sign of democracy Democracy and freedom.
00:20:30.000But Trump could have played it one of two ways, and he just sat in the middle and failed.
00:20:36.000So he could have fought another war, and they would have all loved him.
00:20:40.000And if he had started another war or two, the establishment would have rallied around him, CNN would have backed him, because that's how sick these people are.
00:21:17.000Pictures of bombs, war, is shocking content that they can sell.
00:21:22.000On a slow news day, you turn on these channels and they give you nothing.
00:21:26.000I remember watching segments of like Anderson Cooper standing in mud and he's like, it's raining here in this part of the country, and I'm like, their ratings are probably in the gutter.
00:21:44.000There's a political influence, a lot of these networks.
00:21:46.000Well, yeah, I mean, half of their staff are former CIA, former NSA, former military industrial complex of some... They gave all the Russiagators... If anyone wants to see bloodlust and suffering, all they have to do is go to Yemen.
00:21:58.000Right. So they had that option to highlight that.
00:22:01.000Yeah. Well, they weren't interested in it because that would have been an indictment
00:22:05.000of all of them in the entire system that they prop up.
00:22:08.000Think about what we saw under Obama with extrajudicial assassinations. How much of this, when they
00:22:14.000reported on the war and the conflict, were they criticizing Obama for it? And how much
00:22:18.000of it was it was general coverage? You look at the refugee crisis, which was huge news
00:22:23.000a couple of years ago, mostly with the Eastern Mediterranean route. These are people coming
00:22:26.000from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. And that was the fault of George W. Bush and Barack
00:22:31.000Obama. And the context of it all was general news coverage.
00:22:36.000When it comes to Donald Trump, the dude could, you know, step on a twig and it would crack, and they'd all start shrieking at the top of their lungs.
00:25:07.000I think I asked Luke to try and coax him into saying it.
00:25:10.000Isn't Trump our greatest president of our lifetimes?
00:25:13.000And I'm like... But when you look at no new wars, and you at least look at the attempts to withdraw our troops from some of these places, it is far from perfect.
00:25:22.000But you look at Clinton, Bush, and Obama, So he's half as bad as the other ones, or he's half as good as he promised to be.
00:25:31.000But again, it's still... I think you brought up a good point.
00:25:35.000You bring up the bull analogy, but they also contained him in the lower level, so he couldn't get anywhere else up.
00:25:40.000And he raged, but he raged in the gift shop.
00:25:44.000He didn't rage in the actual positions that actually mattered.
00:25:48.000And in my opinion, he kind of just put the establishment at half pace.
00:25:55.000And he held them back halfway, but the establishment was still moving in fairly close with him, and now they're going to go full steam ahead with Joe Biden.
00:26:03.000And I do think there's going to be new conflicts engaged all throughout the world, specifically also around Russia.
00:26:10.000They're going to try to kind of... Also, they're going to bump heads with China, but I think Biden has too many ties to China to actually do anything legitimate.
00:26:18.000China's going to expand its territory.
00:26:29.000Turkey is also a very hot location that's in conflict with Greece right now.
00:26:34.000So there's a lot of potential for conflict all over the world stage.
00:26:38.000And I think a Biden administration is going to exploit that to the fullest extent because he has the top echelons of the military-industrial complex in his cabinet, in his administration.
00:26:48.000And you know, at the end of the day, they're the ones who are going to be calling the shots.
00:28:22.000I think Trump I think Trump operated in a good faith when he got in.
00:28:26.000He thought that he was president now and, you know, people were going to listen to him and that he was going to have control and get to do the things that he wanted, fulfill his promises, end these wars, and he didn't realize he was walking into a gigantic machine all gummed up with bureaucracy and red tape.
00:29:06.000Because three months ago he was watching Fox News And saw a thing about critical race theory and went, what's this critical race theory thing?
00:29:24.000Yeah, well look, I agree, it's still better than nothing, but it's kind of like, but dude, to rise to the level, to actually do what he could have done, the person he could have been in history, he needed to know like three things, and he knew nothing.
00:29:38.000I think it's obviously hyperbole, he doesn't know anything.
00:29:41.000I think the dude's clearly successful, became president, he's very rich, and the problem was he entered government thinking it would work like a business.
00:29:52.000And the one thing he was famous for firing people, he didn't do enough of.
00:29:55.000He hired people and fired his own people when he should have been firing all these holdovers who are going behind his back, leaking information and sabotaging everything.
00:30:05.000He was running it like a business that the business is gravely in debt right now that our children's children are going to be paying for and also when you look at the people he surrounded himself with the ones that he took advice from I mean Jared Kushner the one who negotiated better weapons deals for Saudi Arabia Ivanka the lady who cried about the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria that many investigations proved not to be true that convinced him to bomb Syria according to Trump's son who admitted that this happened I mean, come on.
00:30:37.000Now, I gotta say though, I gotta say, you're doing a lot of ragging on the guy.
00:30:44.000I would just say, I was actually going to defend him in that moment too, that I will say that one defense I'll give to Donald Trump for putting his family in these positions that they were not in any way qualified to be is that He really had no one he could trust.
00:30:56.000And they did try to frame the guy for treason for three years.
00:30:59.000And he had the entire Deep State working against him.
00:31:01.000So I think he did want his family there because he's like, OK, well, at least Ivanka is not going to, like, be setting me up for, you know, like... She set him up to bomb Syria.
00:31:10.000But look, for all the issues, too, Jared Kushner helped negotiate these historic peace agreements.
00:32:50.000But on the other end, they commit something else.
00:32:52.000As we can clearly see from these reports, assuming the Mitch McConnell one is true, Trump trusted way too many Republicans, thinking that they were going to work with him.
00:33:00.000And what they wanted was judges, and then they gave him bad info, bad people, and they just were waiting him out.
00:33:06.000And now I do believe they want to purge him and all of his supporters.
00:33:10.000But like you said, the people still love the man.
00:35:06.000I remember when Donald Trump went to this fancy restaurant and he ordered this 30-day dry-aged steak, super fancy and expensive, well done, with ketchup.
00:35:14.000And I watched the media mock and laugh.
00:35:18.000And you know why that was so brilliant on Trump's part?
00:35:20.000Do you know what regular Americans saw when they watched those segments?
00:35:24.000They weren't mocking and laughing at Trump.
00:35:25.000They were mocking and laughing at you, the regular working-class American who's got only a couple bucks to buy that garbage steak from the supermarket, that you cook it all the way through and you put ketchup on it because it tastes like crap.
00:35:37.000So I remember when I was growing up, guess what?
00:35:39.000For the most part, yeah, we'd get, you know, grocery store cuts for a couple bucks, we'd cook them well, we'd put ketchup on it because we weren't rich.
00:35:47.000Every so often we'd save up and my dad would come back with a filet mignon and be like, this is the good stuff.
00:35:52.000And he'd put a little garlic and salt on it and we just ate it like it was and it was so amazing.
00:35:58.000What Trump was doing, whether he's all about expensive, well-done steaks with ketchup, or he knew, I'm gonna speak to these people who have been kicked to the curb and insulted.
00:36:17.000And I grew up with the war in Iraq, the lies from the media, this blind trust of government.
00:36:26.000And it got us into these wars, and there was no accountability for these people, many of whom are still working, these politicians who voted for it still in office after 47 years.
00:36:34.000And that's why I say it's kind of funny to say that Donald Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime, because he didn't vote for these things.
00:36:41.000He spoke out against them in his book.
00:36:43.000He did really poorly in hiring, and he fumbled a lot, but he spoke to the people.
00:36:49.000He did a lot more than these elites did.
00:36:50.000He banned critical race theory, whether he knew about it or not.
00:37:03.000That was a great gift that he gave us.
00:37:05.000Just relentlessly mocking the corporate press.
00:37:08.000You ever see the moment where he comes out and he's like, you know, by the helicopter and the press all asking him questions and he's like, We got a really great deal!
00:37:16.000Saudi Arabia's giving us billions of dollars for all these weapons!
00:37:20.000And the anti-war left, their jaws hit the floor like, he just comes out and says, you're not supposed to admit this, it's supposed to be, we're here to support, you know, security and peace, and Trump's like, we're getting great money, it's great for the economy!
00:37:33.000And then when it came to Syria, when we left troops there to guard the oil fields, He just comes out and says it.
00:37:39.000He's like, you know, we tried to get the troops out of Syria, but I guess they got mad at me, so we just left him there.
00:37:43.000They're guarding the oil, that's what they wanted.
00:37:48.000But I think that's a big part of the reason why he was so despised, is that he is this guy that just is uncontrollable, and he blurts things out.
00:37:58.000Donald Trump can't keep a secret if he wanted to.
00:39:16.000And, like, people who talk about this are like, like, I talk about this, you talk about this and stuff, but the President of the United States with his 70 million adoring voters don't just mention this.
00:39:27.000And before that, it was totally ignored.
00:39:28.000I mean, we had whistleblowers, we had government agents, we had insiders, we had people on the ground that were confirming, showing videos, showing photos, showing documents of U.S.
00:41:05.000So there was a report from The Guardian going back to, I think, 2012, where they said that a report in 2009 from the U.S.
00:41:13.000said that we wanted to have boots on the ground in Syria because Bashar al-Assad was blocking our access to building this pipeline.
00:41:20.000Lo and behold, everything you guys just talked about.
00:41:22.000Remember that photo of the truck ISIS had and it's got like, you know, what was it, that truck that had the phone number for like a Michigan auto mechanic on it?
00:41:30.000I was like, how did that truck get there?
00:41:38.000I'm not sure if it was a hot mic or like a secret recording, but there's the tape of John Kerry talking about the rise of ISIS.
00:41:45.000uh... is really interesting uh... which he's talking about so he comes in
00:41:49.000i guess in was in two thousand thirteen he became secretary of of state
00:41:53.000says after hillary clinton left uh... and he's talking about this is kind of you know right
00:41:57.000as it's happening uh... and he's talking about and he's a just
00:42:00.000saying quite frankly on the state the i think he doesn't realize is being recorded
00:42:04.000and he's going up he goes look we saw it We saw the rise of ISIS coming, but we thought we could control it and use it to bring Assad to the negotiating table.
00:42:14.000So you also, you got to understand with a lot of these things, it's tremendous hubris that they think everyone's their pawns.
00:42:20.000And then, because look, it was not part of the plan for ISIS to then go invade Iraq, have the Shiite army that we trained bail, strip off their uniforms and hand over all the stockpiled weapons to them.
00:42:32.000So they just think that they can control everybody in the same way that like the Black Lives Matter rioting,
00:42:38.000smashing up that CNN building wasn't part of the plan.
00:42:41.000You're like, wait, you guys weren't supposed to do that.
00:42:43.000You were supposed to just go over here, but people are not pawns
00:42:46.000and it's not always easy to control them.
00:42:48.000So the whole thing just got away from them.
00:42:49.000Well, they created the cultural situation in Iraq, especially with the second Gulf War,
00:42:55.000after they got rid of a lot of the Hussein-Baptist loyalists that they said no longer could serve in the new military.
00:43:03.000So a lot of those fighters joined up with more radical Sunnis, and they were enabled to start This larger group that later became known as ISIS directly because of policy decisions by the Bush administration, specifically making sure that this protocol was followed.
00:43:19.000It led to tremendous amounts of human suffering.
00:43:22.000I mean, people were tortured on camera with amazing production that was terrifying the entire world.
00:43:31.000The Western world has been terrified by ISIS.
00:43:33.000If you start adding up the numbers, we're getting to Hitler-Stalin level numbers.
00:43:38.000You're talking a million in Iraq, half a million in Syria, it's gonna be a million in Yemen.
00:43:44.000One thing I need to bring up here is because we had ISIS literally dominating the headlines.
00:43:48.000Everyone was always talking about them.
00:43:50.000Everyone in the Western world was scared about a terrorist attack happening in their city because of them and their ideas.
00:43:56.000They had the direct fingerprints of all the upper echelons of the U.S.
00:43:58.000intelligence agencies, Israel, Saudi Arabia, working with them in cohesion, and then all of that just magically kind of went away under the presidency of Donald Trump, who, from the information I'm getting, stopped funding them.
00:44:13.000You want to give Trump credit for something?
00:44:15.000That was one of the first things he did.
00:44:17.000He ended the CIA program to arm the anti-Assad rebels.
00:44:21.000And almost immediately after that, ISIS just stopped being a problem.
00:44:25.000And there was also, and they also fought him.
00:44:27.000I mean, it was like the Russians were fighting him and our troops were fighting him.
00:44:29.000Well, the Russians were exposing how they were selling oil, Syrian oil, to Turkey.
00:44:35.000So let me ask you then, because kind of going back to we're talking about Trump's presidency in this country, do you think that like regular military folk, not the high ranking officers and the political actors, but just like your, you know, rank and file, maybe lower level officers, do you think they all support the president?
00:44:52.000Yes, I think the vast majority of them do.
00:44:55.000But you also have to understand, I mean, look, Ron Paul, when he ran in 2008 and 2012, got more money from active duty military than every other candidate combined.
00:45:06.000So anybody who's talking about ending these wars is going to get tremendous support from the rank and file.
00:45:12.000They know way better than us about how crazy these wars are.
00:45:15.000wars Bush Obama Trump all promised we're gonna end all the wars we're gonna bring
00:45:20.000all the troops back all of them yeah even George W Bush oh yeah no that's
00:45:23.000right yeah he's like I'm gonna be a non-interventionist president elect me
00:45:26.000we're gonna keep America at home and we're gonna make sure America's great
00:45:30.000let me jump to this next story we'll kind of bring all of this foreign policy
00:45:33.000stuff back home because we have this report from the Daily Mail joint chiefs
00:45:36.000send memo to all US troops condemning MAGA riots as sedition after arrest of
00:45:42.000current and retired officers and spell out that they only follow lawful orders
00:45:47.000in fresh warning to Trump They say the military's top leaders issued a written reminder to all service members Tuesday that the deadly insurrection at the Capitol was a criminal act.
00:45:56.000The memo signed by all members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also reminded military members that Joe Biden was duly elected as the next president.
00:46:03.000It comes after the arrest of current and retired officers among the rioters.
00:46:08.000Among the known retired veterans who stormed the Capitol was Ashley Babbitt, a retired Air Force veteran who was shot dead.
00:46:13.000Retired Lieutenant Colonel Larry Rendell Brock Jr., 53, was slapped with federal charges after he was pictured carrying plastic handcuffs in the Capitol during the riot.
00:46:23.000The Army is also investigating a psychological warfare officer, Captain Emily Rainey, for leading a group of people from North Carolina to the rally.
00:46:31.000So this I found interesting that it turns out even the uh, the horned viking guy navy veteran Yeah, there were a lot of people there who served and you've also got the oath keepers many of them who have served many of them who are still police officers now clearly support the president and I guess the question is Does the military overwhelmingly support the president?
00:46:51.000Would they support him, you know, moving forward?
00:47:02.000I mean, you know who they were going to use for that was all these veterans from World War I. I mean, that's who, because if you actually wanted, like, what would your big fear be if you were the establishment?
00:47:23.000You know, why are they doing this if they're not worried about something or other branches of the military potentially deciding or thinking about doing something?
00:47:33.000Well, when those polls came out before the election saying that the military overwhelmingly supported Joe Biden, I just didn't believe it.
00:47:56.000So I don't want to pretend to speak for them.
00:47:58.000But I kind of feel like the amount of respect they'd have for someone like Biden, who is a career politician, enriched himself off the office and votes for the wars that gets, you know, them sent out.
00:48:08.000I don't think they're going to be like, that's the guy I pick.
00:48:10.000And not only that, you look at what Trump says about the troops, what he does for them and how he advocates for them.
00:48:17.000And I just feel like it makes no sense.
00:48:19.000So I asked some people, you know, do you think, because there was a statement put out in the Washington Post by all former defense secretaries warning members of the military not to follow Trump's orders.
00:48:33.000Well, it was interesting because it's getting close to a military coup when you have these individuals telling the military not to obey Trump if he gives them orders to do something.
00:48:42.000But they wouldn't, like you were just saying, they wouldn't need to put that statement down in the Washington Post.
00:48:46.000All former living ex-secretaries of defense saying, don't do this, you will go to prison, this is for you, to Chris Miller of the Pentagon.
00:48:53.000Now you have the statement where they're saying, to all the members of the military, it was a riot, know it, Joe Biden's president, it's done.
00:49:06.000I mean, this was one of the big things about Donald Trump in general that really, like, scared the establishment.
00:49:12.000And I think this is the reason why he scares them a lot more than Bernie Sanders does, even though Bernie Sanders did scare them, is that Donald Trump's supporters are just way tougher Like if you had to fist fight a random Bernie Sanders fan
00:49:27.000or a random Donald Trump fan, you would not for a second, like I mean let's just be real
00:49:31.000people here, you would immediately go I'll take on three Bernie Sanders fans if I have to
00:49:36.000fight them rather than one Donald Trump because Donald Trump probably has some barrel chested
00:49:40.000minor or something like that who's going to pound you into a bloody mess and Bernie
00:49:45.000Sanders is like some gender studies major.
00:50:11.000Also, during the BLM riots, he took the side of BLM rather than police officers.
00:50:16.000So a lot of people serving in law enforcement, in the military, know that he's on the side of the radical protesters.
00:50:24.000He's entering, Joe Biden is entering the presidency with probably the least amount of confidence from our men and women in uniform and law enforcement right now.
00:50:31.000Well, the few people that we talked to that voted for him all regret voting for him.
00:50:36.000You know, there's other thought thinkers like Naomi Wolf that are like, why did I vote for him?
00:52:27.000But we've never really had a president like that, not in my lifetime, who won that way.
00:52:31.000Obama inspired his way into the White House.
00:52:34.000Trump inspired his way into the White House.
00:52:37.000This guy limped in there with the help of social media tech oligarchs and the mainstream media overlords that are like, hey, you're going to represent us.
00:52:58.000I'll go to sleep in the corner and you can write my name for me.
00:53:00.000That's essentially what's going to happen, especially when you see the special interests, the corporatists, the banks, the complexes behind them that are essentially going to be setting American policy fast forward in a way that we have never seen lobbyists take control of our government.
00:53:38.000Conor Lamb revealed Tuesday law enforcement briefed lawmakers on a 4,000-person group of armed patriots prepared to prevent Democrats from entering the Capitol as they move to impeach Donald Trump.
00:53:48.000The threats we are facing are very specific.
00:53:50.000Lamb said Tuesday, as more National Guard are deployed to DC, they have published rules of engagement, meaning when you shoot and when you don't shoot.
00:53:57.000This is an organized group that has a plan.
00:54:04.000Trump declared a state of emergency Monday night that allows the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate with local authorities.
00:54:13.000On Monday night, new chiefs of Capitol Police told House Democrats they were looking into three separate plans to hold protests, including one described as largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.
00:54:24.000But the most concerning is said to involve armed riders encircling the Capitol and blocking Democrats from entering, killing if necessary, so that Republicans are able to take command of government.
00:54:47.000I've listened to what the Trump supporters have said, and they are repeatedly saying Trump never said storm the Capitol.
00:54:54.000Trump was still speaking at the event when they already started breaching the barricades.
00:54:59.000And then Trump said, we're going to peacefully march and then cheer on politicians.
00:55:04.000That was already going down at the Capitol while Trump was speaking.
00:55:07.000So I wonder if the people who were there, probably a lot of them were Trump supporters, but there are elements of the right that don't much care for Trump.
00:55:15.000They may be, you know, I'll put it this way.
00:55:17.000There are people who are Trump supporters first.
00:55:21.000Trump probably could have issued stronger statements, but Trump says, we condemn the violence, you know, go there peacefully, cheer on protesters.
00:55:28.000You have this captain, Emily, I believe her name is Emily Rainey, who's being investigated, we just mentioned her, and she said she went there to hear Trump speak, and then they all got in their buses and left.
00:55:37.000There was that musician, what was his name, Ariel Pink, who said, I went to hear him speak, and then I went to my hotel and went to sleep.
00:55:43.000These are the people who like Trump, who listen to him, and when Trump says, you know, go in peace, they do.
00:55:48.000But then there are other people who are not Trump supporters first.
00:55:53.000So they go to the Capitol, they engage in this.
00:55:55.000I have to wonder now, when they're saying they want to help Republicans take control of government, who are these people that are willing to put themselves on the line for Mitch McConnell?
00:56:32.000And now what they're using is this argument, which is what the articles of impeachment were going to be, that he incited an insurrection, that he's inciting violence.
00:56:43.000Certainly, you can say that Donald Trump, by claiming the election was stolen, got a lot of people very worked up, and maybe that that made them more willing to do something than they would be.
00:56:54.000But you could also say that framing the president as guilty of treason and a Russian asset, that that would incite some violence.
00:57:03.000You could certainly say that some of the people on the left, who have basically been saying for years now that cops are out there hunting black people for sport, And I'm no fan of the cops, but it's obviously just a lie, and that that definitely incited a lot of violence.
00:57:18.000Obviously, Maxine Waters and all these others, but they only want to apply it to Trump.
00:57:22.000The double standard, I'm just, I gotta be honest, it's like every day I see something about the media, the lies, the double standards, and I'm just like, I think we all know, and anybody who's saying otherwise is lying.
00:58:05.000You know, people should not be going down to D.C.
00:58:07.000I think the inauguration, what they're planning is, it seems a tad bit reckless, but I definitely think they need to up security to an extreme degree.
00:58:16.000I mean, in D.C., for the time being, the last thing we need is any kind of escalation.
00:58:23.000It's going to result in nothing but bloodshed if they were to do something like that, and it will serve the opposite of what your interest is if you hate this kind of government authoritarian control.
00:58:35.000Yes, this would be the best thing for them you can do.
00:58:37.000You cannot win a show of force with the federal government.
00:58:40.000Don't kid yourself into thinking you will.
00:58:42.000If you ever got to the point where it actually threatened them in some way, they will go Waco-style on you and burn children alive to protect their interests.
00:59:40.000Now, to act like, you know, AOC goes on, uh, what does she go on, ABC saying half of Congress is on the verge of being killed or whatever, and it's like, oh, calm down, calm down.
00:59:49.000But you can see how they weaponize it.
00:59:50.000It was, it was one of the dumbest things people could have done.
00:59:52.000Well, you can't, you can't copy the techniques of the left because they essentially have the mainstream media, social media, and a lot of the larger kind of cultural sports, uh, spokespeople that, that essentially send out these larger ideas that kind of justified.
01:00:07.000Lydia sent us a video before about what happened to Rand Paul recently where he was walking through a crowd and BLM protesters surrounded him and With his wife.
01:00:18.000With his wife in a very tense situation, but there was no outrage by the mainstream media surrounding that specific incident.
01:00:24.000They were screaming at him about Breonna Taylor, even though he sponsored the bill for Breonna Taylor.
01:00:30.000So we've got to understand, there's crazy and there's bad actors in every group.
01:00:36.000But the kind of thing that I'm worried about, and if I could be allowed to speculate, I don't like to speculate, but we know if we let politicians gain more power from emergencies, what's stopping them from creating emergencies to gain more power?
01:00:49.000And with everything coming up forward, I have this kind of feeling that there might potentially be either another grave escalation that could be planned and organized or maybe even a false flag, but this is just something that I personally feel that we should keep an eye out for because I think there's a huge potential to turn this already horrible situation to turn it a lot, a lot worse than it is.
01:01:12.000I think talk of false flags is just going to help them more.
01:01:17.000If it's true that they want the emergency, then they will love to hear you claiming that they were the ones who were behind it so they can say, now you're crazy and these people are crazy.
01:01:45.000Yeah, the strategy now is it's it's propagandistic. It's persuasion. It's culture. It's influence the daily wire put
01:01:52.000out this movie That's what conservatives need to be doing. That's the
01:01:56.000battlefield right now the hearts and minds of the people I'm not reporting not going and trying to fight like you
01:02:01.000said the most militarized What we need to do is try to de-escalate some of the crazies
01:02:07.000some of the bad actors But you also you don't de-escalate by shunning them and
01:02:11.000attacking them and putting them in a corner where they get to grow and fester
01:02:15.000and not have their bad ideas challenged.
01:02:18.000So whether it's bad actors or radicals on the left or right, we have to understand that this era of censorship is essentially No, you're absolutely right about that, and this is what always happens.
01:02:29.000Even on an individual level, psychologically speaking, it's like repression, and then it comes back out in some worse form.
01:02:36.000That's why you don't want to repress negative feelings.
01:02:39.000But I do think if you're going to understand all these crazy people acting this way, if you're going to understand the year that was 2020 and now into 2021, and all the craziness, you really can't understand it outside the context of the lockdowns.
01:02:52.000I mean, it's not a coincidence that people are acting so freaking crazy over the last nine months.
01:02:58.000That just happened to be the time when the government locked people in their homes, shut down everything, put them in a state of paranoia and fear about a floating abstraction of a germ, about their economic security, about their Children's future people they've driven people crazy.
01:03:17.000There's there's something that I'm I will now call lockdown derangement syndrome and what I mean by this is
01:03:23.000There are people that I know who have gone insane like no joke and what I think happens is you take a couple
01:03:30.000of people lock them in a room and Strip them away from all social communications. And what
01:03:36.000happens is let's say you have three people persons a B and C
01:03:39.000Person a says something he says one then person to one up someone says two three four five six
01:03:45.000They keep escalating the insanity between them. So I've seen this before when I was younger
01:03:50.000There was a group of people that I knew that all they would do is hang out in their room and play video games all day
01:03:55.000And complain about a person they didn't like Until it went from one day where we knew they kind of didn't
01:04:01.000like this dude and then a month later they were like
01:04:03.000Like I'm on the verge of attacking him and beating him because all they did was rile themselves up
01:04:08.000There are people that I know who have been locked up for months that have literally just snapped talking crazy conspiracies.
01:04:15.000You've got the Q people on the right, but you've got equal elements of this on the left who just have wound themselves up into psychotic lockdown conspiracies because they've had no communication with regular people to normalize those conversations.
01:04:28.000Dude, have you ever, like, had, you know, like, we probably all had this, right, like, in the last, like, four or five years or something, where you could be, like, you know, like, on a YouTube journey or on Twitter or something like that, and you're literally, you know, you're hearing, like, some crazy woke leftist, and then you see, like, some white nationalist alt-righter type, and you see, like, all these videos, and you're like, oh my god, this country's, like, on the verge of a race war.
01:04:47.000But then you go to the supermarket, and, like, some black guy walks in front of you, and he's like, oh, pardon me, and you're like, no, go ahead, sir, you're fine.
01:04:57.000And so when people are just isolated and it's just the mediums of like YouTube and Twitter and this, it's easy to start losing perspective.
01:06:12.000The crazy thing to me is what this has really exposed and has surprised me is the lack of mental fortitude among the average person in this country, which I must say right now, I have overestimated most of my life.
01:06:23.000And now what I'm starting to realize is that a lot of people break down much more quickly than I realized.
01:06:27.000I don't blame them for doing it, but without other humans to interact with, people snap.
01:06:33.000I think I agree with you and I think I also underestimated the importance of some of the things that I probably thought of as trivial you know like just like sports or your bar something that you might look at is just like oh whatever this is just kind of a stupid waste of time anyway and then you're like No, actually, maybe it's really important.
01:06:50.000Maybe people really need that, like, you know, that, like, going to a football game and going to a bar and, like, doing these silly things that Americans do, but that actually do keep us human in some way.
01:07:01.000And when you take that all away from everybody, things get pretty ugly.
01:07:05.000I mean, look, when the Black Lives Matter riots first started, That was the only game in town.
01:07:11.000There was literally nothing else open.
01:07:12.000There was nothing you could do, but you could go riot.
01:07:14.000You couldn't go outside, but you could go out and riot.
01:07:18.000I mean, so it was almost kind of like, and then I'm trying, you're thinking about it and you're like, well, look, a lot of these are like kids, you know, I mean, maybe like young 20s or something, but they're kids.
01:07:25.000And I think back to like me, like now I'm like in my mid thirties, I'm a father, I'm kind of in a different place, but I imagine what taking away, hanging out, Would have been to me at 20?
01:07:40.000They were held captive by their phones, by social media, which has a historical trend of showing a direct correlation with the destruction of people's mental health.
01:07:50.000There's a direct rise there's a direct correlation with the advent of the social media atmosphere with of course mental health going down in so many different ways in so many different categories.
01:08:01.000And now you're locked down and forced to just be on that one single institution that's controlled by some oligarchs that fine-tune what you see and what you don't see.
01:08:26.000You know, this weekend, I did a segment and then we drove like an hour and a half out to the middle of nowhere, went to a lake, no cell service, started a little fire with some rocks and just chilled.
01:09:18.000There are people who have built careers off just saying the most inflammatory thing possible to get followers.
01:09:23.000And then, the funny thing is, you have the, like...
01:09:26.000The second layer, the grifter who accuses the other person of being a grifter, creating a grifter loop feedback, where then they make money off accusing the other person, and it is just a psychotic, it is a psycho-producing machine, where people lose their minds.
01:09:41.000Out of context clips, clips that can't be put in context because Twitter only allows a certain number of characters anyway, and then people go on Twitter for news and commentary and opinion, and they're going nuts.
01:09:51.000Seeing the worst of humanity highlighted on a highlight reel showing you don't trust other person.
01:10:25.000And I've noticed that my friends who are very left, when they watch news, the only videos of Trump supporters they see are the worst of the worst.
01:10:34.000They've not interacted with Trump supporters.
01:10:38.000Trump supporters, they're all over the place, but many in more suburban and rural areas.
01:10:43.000People who live in cities are in cubicles locked up and they can't get out, and they're not going to bump into a Trump supporter for the most part, and if they do, they wouldn't admit it.
01:10:51.000They see a video of like, you know, some crazy fat redneck guy screaming about how he refuses to wear masks and he's spitting on people and they're like, that's Trump and his supporters, not realizing that you also have like little old soccer mom who's just going out to buy a gallon of milk, who's also voted for Trump and supports him a great deal.
01:11:37.000On the other side, you have people who just turn on CNN and whatever Wolf Blitzer says is law.
01:11:42.000If you're only listening to the likes of CNN, you're probably going insane.
01:11:46.000If you're going on YouTube and seeking out content, it's possible there's a lot of people who found crazy channels went crazy too, but you're more likely to get a different array of content on YouTube.
01:11:55.000But people were shaped, people were groomed by these new algorithms, whether by YouTube or by Facebook, who started to work with, quote, authoritative sources.
01:12:05.000And slowly but surely, people started getting more Wolf Blitzer, more Anderson Cooper, and less.
01:12:11.000The average person that's them, the average person that is like them, that shares an idea that's unique, that's not a corporate slogan.
01:12:35.000By the very nature of the structure, the people who are watching your show want to think, and the people who are watching Wolf Blitzer's show want to be told what to think.
01:12:46.000It's just kind of like the type of person you get there.
01:12:48.000And so if you get the type of person that's interested in your show, and you try to give them that, it's just not going to work.
01:12:54.000But I do think that, look, you're right about what you said about the right understanding the left more than the left understands the right.
01:12:59.000There's actually like scientific studies that can demonstrate that pretty conclusively
01:13:02.000But I think the big problem that's staring everyone in the face
01:13:06.000In America right now that we're either gonna fall apart or find a way to work through is that and I think on some
01:13:12.000level Everybody knows this that this whole thing doesn't work
01:13:15.000anymore. And from my perspective now, I'll admit this is my bias
01:13:19.000I'm a libertarian but from my perspective the big central problem here is
01:13:23.000that the government got Way too powerful and way too big and when you have this
01:13:28.000much power rooted in Washington DC Now the fact that we have drastically different cultures in
01:13:33.000the country, which has always been true Brooklyn and Alabama have never been the same thing, you
01:14:15.000From being in a country with, like, one side looks at the other side as baby murderers, and the other side looks at the other side as Nazis.
01:14:21.000It's like, okay, so why are we together?
01:14:24.000Would you ever be in a friendship with someone who you thought that about?
01:14:27.000Or the other answer, short of secession, is just decentralization, to scale back the power of the central federal government, allow state and local governments to have more authority, let people understand we all have to accept that in Portland they're not going to live the same way that they do in Florida, and lots of other examples.
01:14:47.000Because California is inviting of non-citizens into the country, and there are porous borders between California and the surrounding states.
01:14:55.000And that means that if you live in, say, Nebraska, you have a very real threat to your laws if there are people who can enter easily.
01:15:03.000So let's say Nebraska says, we don't allow, you know, illegal immigration.
01:15:07.000They can enter in easily through California, there's no security, and they can easily pass from there into another state and then come into Nebraska.
01:15:14.000Do we get state borders where they checkpoint people?
01:15:16.000Well, no, it all depends on the employment laws.
01:15:18.000Some countries benefit from, literally what I would say is akin to human slavery, and allow immigrants to come in and work for pennies on the dollar.
01:15:26.000Other states don't allow it and say, hey, if you're not a citizen, you can't really work here, and they don't incentivize this kind of corporate slavery of the immigrant class.
01:15:35.000that essentially in my opinion exploits them and creates a lose-lose situation for everyone.
01:15:40.000Well all you have to do honestly is not make it illegal to discriminate.
01:15:45.000So you just have to get rid of laws that like you don't need these force association laws and you
01:15:49.000can basically just say that like look people have a right to discriminate and not let certain people
01:15:54.000into their communities hire them at their businesses not and now under current situations
01:15:58.000you'll have big fat lawsuits but you'd have to get rid of that stuff but the pitch to California
01:16:03.000would have to be something like look you guys can have everything you want if you're your own state.
01:16:10.000I mean, you got the votes for all of it.
01:16:12.000Now, the problem they're going to have is it's all going to fall apart and none of it's going to work, which they've already experienced with their train system and the Medicare for All proposals and everything.
01:16:26.000There's a lot of reasons to think it's not going to work.
01:16:28.000But this isn't going to work either, what we're currently doing.
01:16:31.000And so you have to almost go like, well, look, the pitch has to be How much more of this can we keep doing?
01:16:37.000Because, by the way, look, Trump, the next Trump might be ten times worse than Donald Trump.
01:16:43.000He might actually be what the left thought Donald Trump was.
01:16:48.000The likelihood that a Republican, as we know today, wins in four years, I think is slim.
01:16:53.000What'll end up happening is the Republican in four years will be kind of like a center-left individual by today's standards.
01:17:00.000So, well, I should say a true center-left individual.
01:17:04.000And it's because if someone like Trump, let's say we got somebody who had very, very similar policies, but was not abrasive and was very charismatic, the media would annihilate them.
01:17:15.000They would say it's a smooth-talking lie, just another Nazi.
01:17:18.000Look, his policy is the same as Trump.
01:18:33.000I'm just saying they don't have a claim to anything.
01:18:37.000Look at McCain and Mitt Romney and we go back all those years and where their stances were on cultural issues.
01:18:43.000And now look what the Republican Party is today.
01:18:45.000I think there's good things because I agree.
01:18:47.000I'm for gay marriage and I'm for freedoms and civil liberties and things like that.
01:18:51.000I actually lean left a lot on social issues too.
01:18:54.000I just think the woke left is particularly authoritarian about it.
01:18:57.000But one of the things Jack Murphy brings up is that it was the Republican Party accepting gay marriage that allowed him to actually vote Republican and support Donald Trump.
01:19:07.000In four years, oh, there will be a Republican, I'm sure, and they will be substantially more progressive and more woke than anyone today.
01:19:14.000In fact, they probably will be, to a certain degree, woke.
01:19:17.000They'll probably be kind of like me, where it's like they used to be a liberal, they're kind of left on some issues, but they're called far right.
01:19:24.000And they'll still get attacked and destroyed in the media.
01:19:27.000I don't see how they'll actually win, even if they do move left.
01:19:30.000Well, the left made a very important strategic move by aligning themselves with big tech and saying, you guys could do whatever you want, but you got to work with us.
01:19:38.000And they do work in tandem in such a way that it's even entangled with the CIA.
01:19:43.000But again, you made a very good point.
01:19:44.000The Republicans are pretty much Democrats 10 years ago.
01:19:47.000And the bigger point you made is the common sense solution to all of this.
01:19:50.000If you have the big government, just decentralize it.
01:19:53.000Let people live how they want to live individually, because when you have a government that has enough money to give to other countries, that means they're taking too much money away from their taxpayers, they're too powerful, and they should be scaled to size where people get to have their individual expression of liberty, their individual expression of culture.
01:20:12.000Do what you want to do if you're California, if you're New York City, but if you're Alabama, let Alabama do Alabama.
01:20:30.000They say abortion is murder, it is violence, and they won't allow that in their country.
01:20:34.000So they will continue to fight at the federal level for Supreme Court justices to overturn what they view as abhorrent and what should be illegal activity.
01:20:43.000The left will say, we can't allow them the controls of federal government over everybody.
01:20:47.000Listen, but the federal government could just say it's a state issue.
01:20:49.000No, they can't because the left will say, the right will say we are not going to allow New York to murder babies.
01:20:55.000Yeah, but you know, I don't think you're right about that because the right has been losing for so long that just allowing Texas to ban abortion would be such a huge win for them.
01:21:27.000If the federal government doesn't incentivize it and doesn't say we're going to rule for everyone, then it's a state-by-state issue.
01:21:33.000And individuals could say, I want to live in New York City where I have these freedoms, or I want to live in Texas where I have these different freedoms.
01:21:40.000But we should focus on protecting freedoms rather than limiting them.
01:22:33.000This country is on a suicide mission, and this is the only solution to it.
01:22:37.000So we have to try somehow to move in that direction.
01:22:41.000Because the truth is, what you were saying about a right-winger or a Republican winning, You're right, and you make good points.
01:22:47.000But we are going to go in a populist direction one way or the other for the simple reason that this type of corruption that just screws over the average person so much always leads to populism.
01:23:17.000And that goes right along with the same trend.
01:23:19.000I mean, when the new money gets created, it always goes to the top first and they get all of the wealth.
01:23:23.000They extract wealth from the poor and the middle class.
01:23:26.000And when you have that scenario, of course, someone like Bernie Sanders or someone like Trump who speaks to the average guy that, hey, let's take this whole thing on and win for you, even if they both have some idiotic ideas of how to do that, that's always going to be popular.
01:23:41.000And then what that requires is more government suppression in order to suppress the populist voices.
01:23:46.000So we're going to be in this cycle that's going to kill us unless we decentralize.
01:23:50.000Well, they milked this country to the tune of $28 trillion.
01:24:12.000So the left builds a little higher, and now they can see the ocean.
01:24:14.000So the right says, well, now I can't see, so they keep going up.
01:24:17.000Eventually, the towers are getting so big, they're starting to sway back and forth.
01:24:20.000And the bigger they get, the more they sway, the more violent it becomes, and eventually they both snap and collapse and crush under their own weight.
01:24:27.000That's what's happening if this escalation keeps occurring until someone finally says, I'm going to stop.
01:24:33.000I believe in freedom, free expression, individual liberties, individual rights, the constitution.
01:24:39.000I don't like authoritarianism, be it from corporations or the government.
01:24:42.000And there are people on the left who think the government should mandate what people do because the planet is doomed.
01:24:48.000They think we're on a collision course with the planet, the planet's gonna explode, and so they're willing to destroy your life and sacrifice you for the greater good.
01:24:56.000It's a very utilitarian versus deontological argument.
01:24:58.000You have people on the left saying, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and then you have many people on the right saying, any act against an individual is an amoral act that cannot be, you know, conducted.
01:25:09.000So ultimately what that leads to is one side saying, I will not let you destroy this planet, and the other side saying, I will not let you oppress individual rights.
01:25:18.000No one is going to back down from that fight.
01:25:21.000Would you say, you know what, in the interest of peace, I will allow the left to continue their expansion of authority and wokeness and then all that?
01:25:34.000So, in the interest of peace, would I say that Portland can go as woke as they want to, as long as they don't force that on the rest of the country?
01:25:42.000No, that they take the rest of the country over, and instill their ideology over everyone else to go out fighting.
01:25:46.000No, that I think needs to be fought against.
01:25:49.000And they say the same thing, and you see the point.
01:25:52.000Why would I say to the woke authoritarian communist types that I'm going to let them oppress people?
01:26:00.000I'll say, look, in Portland, where I was earlier in the year was like, shut it down, that's crazy, and now I'm kind of like, it's Portland, they voted for it.
01:26:12.000But to put that on the rest of the country, to see the woke left call for the things they're calling for when they're like, it's the craziest thing when I hear them say, all we want to do is give the right-wingers health care, but they're so dumb.
01:26:39.000And to me... Do you mean like a peaceful... Yes!
01:26:42.000The only option that we have is to, as we were talking about before, that a military confrontation with the most militarized government ever is not gonna work, and it will just lead to bloodshed.
01:26:52.000All we have is the power of ideas and the truth is that there is still a remnant of decency in the human spirit and a lot of people are, there is a huge movement of people who are turned off by the woke stuff.
01:27:07.000There's a huge movement of people who are turned off by a lot of the just swampiness of the establishment in general.
01:27:14.000The problem is that the other side always scares them back into their base.
01:28:48.000You think that got some attention out of people?
01:28:51.000Do you think it's crazy that all of a sudden they have completely thrown you off the scent now and just have you focusing on microaggressions?
01:28:59.000Just imagine, like I was saying this when I was on Rogan a couple weeks ago to him, where I was like, imagine you're Goldman Sachs exec, right?
01:29:08.000And you have Bernie Sanders coming up and he's going, there should be no billionaires!
01:29:27.000So this has all been just to pull the wool over the eyes of the left.
01:29:31.000Because the left, when it's at its best, is actually a threat to this power structure.
01:29:37.000I want to show you guys this comic, because it's great.
01:29:41.000And I've mentioned it before, it's a man sitting at a desk.
01:29:44.000Outside his window, it's a business guy sitting at his poofy desk with his things, you know, his degrees on the wall.
01:29:48.000And outside is a bunch of people protesting, holding a big sign, Occupy Wall Street, Stop Corporate Greed, Fat Cats.
01:29:55.000And the man inside is smirking on the phone and he says, Introduce them to identity politics.
01:30:00.000And I remember, because I was at Occupy Wall Street, as was Luke, when this started happening.
01:30:04.000When it went from, we are the 99%, the big banks have extracted the wealth of the people for too long, to all of a sudden, twinkle fingers, progressive stack, if you're white you're not allowed to speak.
01:30:13.000And when we look at all of their kind of woke ideology, it's meant to divide and conquer.
01:30:18.000Whether it's your family members, whether it's your race, whether it's your sex, whether it's your identity.
01:30:23.000Well, whatever little category they could put you in to make you feel different and make you fight someone else who is not on your side, intersectional, identifying as it or this or whatever you want to do.
01:30:34.000You're creating essentially packs that are meant to drive wedges into our modern day culture.
01:30:40.000So we're at each other's throats and being afraid to talk.
01:30:44.000to each other because you don't want to offend someone if you use the proper
01:30:47.000pronouns or not. What kind of civilization and society are we living in
01:30:50.000where we can't even say hey you buddy bloke whatever there's a guy in the UK
01:30:55.000who went to jail for calling someone a bloke. And this is why this is why the
01:30:59.000left eats itself it is not a bug it is a feature of what they do.
01:31:05.000They don't want them to ever actually be able to unify around anything cohesive, so everything they do is offensive.
01:31:11.000My favorite moment in this whole nonsense was when one organization came out, it was like International Organization for Women or something, I forgot what the name was, and they said Womxn.
01:31:30.000And they said, using the word Wimmickson is offensive because you are implying you need a special word for trans women, but trans women are women.
01:32:15.000Yes, but look, they've turned the best aspect of the left against the left and made it a vice rather than a virtue.
01:32:25.000In the same sense that, look, what they did with the terror wars was they turned the right-wing impulse to be tough and protect your country and defend the Bill of Rights, this really beautiful, noble thing, and they turned that into slaughtering poor people in third-world countries.
01:32:41.000They take this noble thing and they make it evil.
01:33:01.000This is the perfect divide and conquer tactic.
01:33:06.000You can make sure that they never focus on the fact that We have more in common with each other than we ever will with Donald Trump or Joe Biden.
01:33:15.000And when they're fighting each other, the corporations do whatever they want.
01:33:18.000And what I've said before is that when we had these civil rights groups that were fighting against racism, fighting for social justice, civil rights, it was kind of like an immune response.
01:33:29.000We had something bad and we said we're not going to succeed if we're divided all the time.
01:33:34.000And so this movement emerged for equality under the law in the 1964 Civil Rights Act, followed by Loving v. Virginia, which said, under the law, we are all Americans, and that is our identity, American citizens.
01:33:45.000Then, we start to get an immune overreaction.
01:33:49.000Now these people are looking for racism everywhere.
01:33:51.000They still are operating under this immune response, but it's more now like an autoimmune disorder, attacking healthy cells, thinking it's a diseased cell.
01:34:00.000And that's when a living creature dies.
01:34:03.000There are numerous disorders that are like that.
01:34:04.000An overactive, targeting the wrong thing and destroying it.
01:34:07.000Just really quickly, it's a very quick story, but my buddy Scott Horton, who I don't know if you know him, he's a genius.
01:34:14.000He's the managing editor at AntiWar.com.
01:34:18.000Anyway, you guys check out Scott Horton if you don't know who he is.
01:34:20.000But he was telling me this story, and this is a great example of how they divide us with this stuff when we should all be together, but it was at the Bundy Ranch standoff.
01:34:30.000And he was talking to one of these people, I forget, but it was one of the leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement at the time.
01:34:34.000And he was basically telling this lady, he was like, you guys should stand with the Bundy Ranchers because you guys have so much in common here and you could unify and make it like a left and right thing and really focus on who the enemy is.
01:35:27.000It's just literally people who are saying that they want to live their lives and there are these federal agents who are coming through and bringing violence to them for no justifiable reason.
01:35:39.000And that is something that could unite people.
01:35:42.000But to me, the way to attack the woke stuff is more than just calling it stupid and smashing it because that's just been done to death at this point.
01:35:49.000to let good decent leftists know that they have fooled you with this and they have and
01:36:10.000We are the 99% angry over the bailouts for the big banks that ripped us off, screwed
01:36:15.000us, destroyed the retirement accounts.
01:36:17.000And in the first week of Occupy, there was unity.
01:36:19.000There were older conservatives there, there were libertarians there.
01:36:22.000People like Luke, Ron Paul libertarian types were down there saying, we agree, the establishment, the big banks, etc.
01:36:27.000Once it turned woke, we are now 10 years on, almost 10 years, and what do we get?
01:36:33.000But I guess basically, as you mentioned, we're now witnessing the largest transfer of wealth in human history, and the left is in favor of it.
01:36:41.000Well, right, but what has the left gotten?
01:36:43.000So you get the largest transfer of wealth in human history, so much of it going to these big bankers.
01:36:49.000But, they will send their white execs to diversity training.
01:36:52.000So that's what you got out of all this.
01:36:54.000They bought you off for the cheapest gesture.
01:36:57.000The military industrial complex is now run by women.
01:37:20.000Well you brought up something that I've been talking about and I think we've been talking about for a number of years now.
01:37:24.000We've seen the writing on the wall, we've seen it slowly incrementalized, and we have to understand also these people are very patient.
01:37:30.000They know they see threats and one of the biggest threats against them is people coming together, realizing that they have a lot more in common than they have different and working together towards helping themselves, benefiting themselves, but also not becoming victims to the machine, the system, the multinational corporations, the government, whoever it may be.
01:37:48.000I think it's obviously a fact that people are getting screwed over more than ever.
01:37:53.000How best can you keep them in a way where they don't notice it?
01:37:57.000Keep them in a A constant state of fear, of fighting, of not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow, and I think this is the stage that we're at right now.
01:38:09.000And I also think that this great suppression on social media is something that they've been very patient about and has been in the works for a while, because this has been the chink in the armor for quite a while.
01:38:22.000Like, if you were to look at the establishment... Another...
01:38:41.000And he was like mocking being the advisor to the ruling elite.
01:38:46.000Like if he was going to come in and basically give them a report of what his advice to them to do is.
01:38:52.000And he's like, okay, ruling elite, by the way, doing a great job.
01:38:56.000You control the currency, you control public education, you control the corporate press, you control the military, you can bomb whoever you want to.
01:39:03.000You guys are really just doing an unbelievable job.
01:39:55.000Yeah, they set up a guillotine in front of a government building and they were like, you know, hey, the right, we could be doing this together.
01:40:05.000And I'm kind of like, well, I'm not a fan of the Robespierre style, just randomly pulling people out of government buildings or anything like that.
01:40:11.000And I think we need trials because trials make a statement to the people about what we tolerate.
01:40:16.000But yeah, the left and the right don't like what the establishment is doing, and the right and the left absolutely could at least agree on that much and say, how about we all vote for one thing?
01:40:27.000You know, it's interesting that we saw, you know, Brett Weinstein's Unity Party get censored.
01:40:31.000Because they don't like that over target.
01:41:22.000But at the very least, even if you're not advocating going and taking what they have, how about don't take from the middle class taxpayers and give to them?
01:41:38.000The bailouts, the big banks from all these different companies.
01:41:42.000But really, the omnibus bill was kind of like It was no longer that people were being pissed on and being told it was raining.
01:41:49.000They were now looking up and seeing who was doing it.
01:41:53.000And I'm like, left and right, you guys can hug on this one, right?
01:41:56.000And be like, look, you can argue about whether or not someone's the right identity or whether they hold the right beliefs, but can we all agree right now they're peeing on us and we should stop them from doing it.
01:42:06.000Then afterwards, we'll take a shower, we'll get some new clothes, then we'll go back to arguing.
01:42:11.000But for the time being, you can see what's going on, right?
01:42:13.000I said on my show, and it was like, you know, a couple weeks before the Capitol building thing, but I said it felt like they were daring the American people to revolt.
01:42:25.000Like it felt like after nine months of locking people in their home, destroying businesses, and they're sitting here going, we'll give you 600.
01:43:20.000And it was one of the things to me, and I've basically been saying for a while, you know, this thing that I said earlier, that Trump isn't what the left projects onto him.
01:43:26.000He isn't what the right projects onto him.
01:45:33.000I mean, there's like, in the Wild West, if you were in the middle of the desert, and you saw a dude, and you just killed him and took his stuff, no one would ever find out.
01:45:58.000Not by running in, yelling, and banging on glass, and then they point at you and say, they're the problem and this proves it.
01:46:03.000You made a very good point talking about how it was almost as if the establishment was asking for trouble with that $600 debate that was maybe $2,000, but we also have to understand this is on the backdrop of a lot of these politicians saying you must be locked down, you must stay inside, your business must close, you must lose your life.
01:46:23.000and how you lived it normally before as I go out to a restaurant and spend thousands of dollars indoor dining.
01:46:32.000I'm gonna do what I want as of course people were just left losing everything in front of them and we still haven't dealt with the significant financial ramification that is still not here for that huge large event.
01:47:04.000This is, like, the first home that I brought my daughter back to from the hospital, and the little, like, bodega we used to go to, and this restaurant, and this.
01:47:13.000These are real people's lives who have been destroyed.
01:47:15.000And then these people who would attack you.
01:47:19.000They'd attack anybody if they were out in the street.
01:47:21.000You remember the, what was it, on MSNBC or CNN, when they're like, look, this guy's not wearing a mask, and he goes, your cameraman's not wearing a mask.
01:47:58.000So we just need a little bit more riots and it'll all die.
01:48:00.000They said, I forgot what their logic was, but that the protest for Black Lives Matter resulted in more people being indoors, which slowed the spread, which makes no sense because they were all outdoors.
01:48:59.000Scott Hale says, wish I could travel through timelines where the Trump, where Trump wins the election and see how the left reacts and the news justifies it, just how drastically it would be different.
01:49:10.000The stuff we're hearing from like Project Veritas of what these people were saying about if Trump wins, It was going to be worse than what we're seeing now.
01:50:17.000Not an insurrection, but an insurgency, I'll say, within the Libertarian Party that's really making it the home of, like, the Ron Paul revolution, and I'm a big part of that, and I highly recommend people check that out.
01:50:30.000Well, the basic libertarian position is that borders should be private, essentially.
01:50:37.000I mean, that's like the true anarcho-capitalist position.
01:50:40.000I don't know if the Mises caucus has like a plank on borders, but what they focus on is like hardcore Ron Paul issues, end the lockdowns, end the wars, end corporate bailouts, all that like really good libertarian stuff.
01:50:52.000Highly recommend people go check out the Mises Caucus in the Libertarian Party.
01:50:56.000Drew Jones says, so glad you got Dave on.
01:50:59.000I'm very grateful to have someone like him carrying the cultural torch for libertarianism.
01:53:11.000It actually worked really well with what George Orwigan was saying, because in California they tried pulling that out of their constitution, the non-discrimination laws.
01:54:39.000And so, look, there's nothing more destructive to community, to cultural bonds, to the tradition of family and religion than big government.
01:54:50.000Daniel Maxwell says, I do not think impeachment of President Trump is going to have the effect they think it will have.
01:54:55.000It could instead blow up in their faces in the worst way possible, which is not good for anybody, but might be better than the alternative also.
01:55:06.000They're not going to convict him in time.
01:55:09.000If they're worried, you know, I see this meme where they're like, I rented out my pool house to my friend, and a bunch of his friends trashed the place.
01:55:17.000Their lease is up in 20 days, or in two weeks.
01:55:20.000Should I let him stay or kick him out now?
01:55:22.000And everyone's like, duh, Trump should be impeached now.
01:55:24.000Yes, the eviction process takes 30 days.
01:55:26.000Even in the real world, the analogy makes no sense.
01:55:53.000Do you remember when Jordan Peterson was on Bill Maher and he kind of like stumped the whole left-wing panel when he was just like, so what's the plan?
01:56:02.000What's the plan for the tens of millions of people who voted for him?
01:56:04.000Like, how do you bring them back into society?
01:56:06.000And they're all like, um, well, and it seems like there's really no plan.
01:56:10.000Like, no one's concerned about the fact that 74 million people just voted for this guy, and you want to now, like, undo the will of the last 63 million people who voted for him.
01:56:20.000And it seems like they have no interest in trying to bring those people back in the fold.
01:56:52.000Yeah, for all of us who have been saying for a while, and I'm guilty of this, who are like, you know, look, they'll never come after the guns because that'll be a civil war and they would never overreach that much.
01:57:07.000Trump went after the guns and banned bump stocks.
01:57:10.000He pretty much made a population of the United States felons overnight with just a decree going further than the ATF ever even wished to go.
01:59:00.000Change the landscape of social media, create real competition, and simmer tensions down between everybody.
01:59:05.000The media would be forced to report on what's happening on other platforms.
01:59:09.000Instead, Trump finally waits until the very last minute, gets nuked, and then can't do anything about it because then they go after Parler before he has a chance to even sign up.
01:59:45.000Brandon Icock says, Hey Dave, somebody I used to look up to supports the LP but disagrees with monetary policies they support.
01:59:53.000Said the Fed serves a purpose and voted for McCain as a conservative.
01:59:57.000Would this put him in the loser brigade?
02:00:00.000Well, I don't know about the Loser Brigade, but, I mean, voting for McCain and supporting the Fed are two just damn near unforgivable things to do.
02:00:09.000But, no, look, I mean, the Federal Reserve is basically the center of this whole banking cartel.
02:00:17.000So if you really want to take on this system that is extrapolating all of this wealth – what's the word I'm looking for on extrapolating?
02:00:24.000Awesome Humans has been lurking the Q sites to see what it's all about.
02:00:27.000stealing from the American people and giving it to this this cartel.
02:00:32.000This is literally it's it's the lifeblood of the warfare state of the
02:00:36.000welfare state so that's the center of it and has to be opposed.
02:00:40.000Strong-armed robbery I think they call it.
02:01:15.000So, you know, for a long time I didn't know a whole lot about it, but since it's become more recognizable and more prominent, especially with the Capitol stuff, Yeah, I know.
02:01:21.000reading that they claimed Mueller was secretly working for Trump the whole time and that
02:01:26.000it was a plot to arrest Hillary Clinton or something.
02:01:28.000And I'm like, why would you believe that?
02:01:31.000They talked about bombing Iran being a good thing and I'm like, are you kidding me?
02:01:35.000It's just, it was just a whole lot of nonsense though.
02:01:37.000And I've seen people share with me, I've seen people who are left share Q stuff.
02:01:42.000And I'm just like, they don't realize.
02:01:55.000It was a super chat the other day where they said, there are people who think that Trump is dog-whistling secrets to them about supporting him for his attempt to keep the election, while the left secretly thinks that he's dog-whistling to his Russian masters that he's actually a spy.
02:02:20.000I think it's crazy that Donald Trump does that thing where he like, he does the pinched fingers.
02:02:24.000And from that, you got people doing the okay sign.
02:02:27.000And so at some point you had, I think it was Stephen Miller straightening his shirt and they were like, look, he's doing a double white power sign.
02:02:36.000That the social media will ban all the Q people and claim it's because, you know, we don't allow the conspiracy stuff, but the left is going nuts with the exact same garbage.
02:02:42.000Yeah, and the other problem is that there are real conspiracies, and then anybody who wants to talk about them in a serious manner Ends up being labeled with all of this other stuff.
02:02:52.000I mean, there are like, I mean, look, getting us into the war in Iraq was a conspiracy.
02:02:56.000This was really a small cabal of people who lied us into a war.
02:03:00.000But then anytime you use the term conspiracy theory, now everybody's thinking about these genuinely paranoid schizophrenic people who believe this crazy stuff.
02:03:10.000And so, when I started seeing people I've known for a long time posting unhinged Q-level garbage because they hate Trump so much they'll believe anything that comes out of, you know, someone's social media account, I was like, man.
02:03:23.000Now I, like, dude, I know some people who went full flat earth.
02:03:47.000And I see all that and I'm like, man, now I totally understand why they're like, we want to ban all of these people and shut it all down.
02:03:52.000The only problem is they don't ban the left.
02:03:55.000Well, the reality is I'm not in favor of any of it.
02:03:57.000Let the people say the crazy so that we can ridicule it and mock it and explain to people why it's wrong.
02:04:03.000When they ban these people, they push them into these corners where they can only regurgitate the same thing.
02:04:09.000And the whole thing that's so ridiculous is that these are the same people who preach about democracy.
02:04:15.000And so you're like, OK, well, listen, if the good ideas can't win out in a free discussion, then how do you expect people have the power to vote for the leaders who are going to determine the policy of what is allowed to be said?
02:04:27.000Like this is also either people are capable of doing this in a society, in an open society, or we're not.
02:04:34.000And in that case, you should just support like a dictatorship or something like that.
02:04:38.000But obviously, we all know the problems associated with that.
02:04:41.000So let's let all the ideas be expressed and let the good ones win out.
02:04:44.000I saw a tweet and they said, I can't remember who it was, they said, at some point will the left reflect on the fact that if you have to suppress people's conversations and ideas in order to maintain, you know, your ideology, there's something deeply flawed with your ideology?
02:05:01.000They'll just, they believe in subjective morality and they don't think, you know, they believe truth, there's no truth but power and things like that, so they'll just do what they want to be in power.
02:05:12.000Don, uh, Denine S says, Ben Shapiro made this point, but as a Gen X, I can attest that there
02:05:18.000has been growing hatred for the right for decades.
02:05:52.000Or they'll tell you they do, like, oh yeah, you're right, non-aggression principle, that's great, and they'll go behind your back and You know, undermine your economy.
02:05:58.000Well, look, I mean, the non-aggression principle is a principle.
02:06:01.000It's a moral principle that says it's immoral to initiate violence against peaceful people.
02:06:06.000That's not to say that everybody's going to abide by it.
02:06:09.000But truthfully speaking, a huge part of the rise of China and the fall of the United States of America is that while we're waging war after stupid war after stupid war, they're going around and investing in places.
02:06:23.000And this is why we have an expanding empire that is destroying our country, and they have been much more stealthy in this.
02:06:30.000Now, their human rights violations are, you know, abhorrent and awful, and I think there's a strong argument that we shouldn't work with the Chinese government in any capacity that can help them.
02:06:40.000You know, I really like Jimmy Dore, because I feel like he's one of the very few legitimate, like, telling the truth about how he feels and what he wants.
02:08:24.000That's, you know, even I mentioned this, Vox.com wrote an article calling him a moderate back in, I think, 2016.
02:08:30.000Yeah, there wasn't really too much that was super radical about Trump's policies that he proposed, especially compared to other presidents.
02:08:39.000I think it was more like his personality and stuff like that.
02:08:42.000But yeah, he was kind of like an 80s Democrat.
02:08:45.000I mean, like, yeah, I'm kind of skeptical about wars.
02:08:47.000I want to control immigration because it drives down wages.
02:08:50.000I'm not really into these free trade deals.
02:08:52.000I mean, that could have been an 80s Democrat.
02:09:56.000Path of resilience just said spot-on Tim.
02:09:58.000I don't know to which you are agreeing with but everything fantastic.
02:10:01.000I love it Mike Mr. Hunt first name Mike says didn't come here to watch Didn't come by to read comments.
02:10:11.000I just read the title and we'll express what we all know powder keg No one is considering the real horror of all of this while they the left do terrible things, you know Let's see.
02:10:22.000The Nickerman says, thanks Tim Fool, amen, and a woman brother.
02:11:13.000So he's got to figure out now if he's going to be the guy to lead some big movement going forward, how he gets his No, he makes the endorsement and his son runs it, or his sons run it.
02:11:22.000And then they encourage all the supporters to say, if you support, you know, Donald Trump and everything he stood for, then we're going to be pressing a new party because the GOP did not have our backs.
02:11:32.000And I'll tell you this, there are a lot of people, what I've been basically hearing is people saying, if you've already lost to the Democrats and expect to lose again, vote for a new party because the Republicans don't deserve your support.
02:11:44.000Yeah, I've heard a lot of people saying that too.
02:11:46.000I just, I gotta say, I think that we're gonna see the Trump family get crushed.
02:11:51.000I think they can't let them, they just can't let these guys maintain this because this is the only group that really poses the immediate threat to them right now.
02:12:00.000And I think we're going to see them all silenced on social media, and I really wouldn't be surprised if they try to bring criminal charges against Trump.
02:12:05.000Not just that, I mean people are looking at sedition and conspiracy charges for being at the Capitol facing at least 20 years.
02:12:12.000That's going to send a very big chilling effect to a lot of people.
02:12:59.000Um, McColl Petnaik says, we need to play the same game as the establishment.
02:13:03.000Tell all the leftists that it's the banksters and Federal Reserve that are the true racists and super racists and supremacists, and how much richer we'd all be without them.
02:14:52.000Libertarians' greatest attribute is our autism and our greatest flaw is our autism.
02:15:01.000So it's like Libertarians have this autistic thing where, and this is why we have like
02:15:04.000the best arguments for why raising the minimum wage actually hurts low-scaled workers because
02:15:08.000because they've really thought about this purely.
02:15:10.000But the problem is that then they get trapped in this world where they're not being human beings, and they're going like, well, it's a private company, so a private company has a right to discriminate.
02:15:20.000And it's like, yes, okay, but what you're not understanding is that this libertarian principle will kill the future of libertarianism.
02:17:10.000They're quasi-state entities that work with the government.
02:17:13.000Today, Facebook and Twitter worked with the State Department to bring back free speech in Uganda, of all places.
02:17:21.000So you look at In-Q-Tel, you look at the government contracts, you look at the tax subsidies, these are entities that only exist and only have monopolies because of government.
02:17:32.000But I do think that in the same sense that like, what I mean by the autism thing is it's like, if I actually, Malice used this example, but it was like if a restaurant like served you cold, rotted food and the libertarian went, well, they're a private company.
02:17:46.000And it's like, well, why is your response to say they're a private company?
02:17:49.000The response should be, this is awful.
02:17:53.000But I do think, honestly, I think your podcast on Rogan, when you basically told Jack Dorsey and whoever that lawyer lady was to their face and just destroyed them in that debate, I think that's the most powerful thing.
02:18:23.000I mean, it's been a little while since I watched this, but there was one part where you like just went on this awesome little like rant, just destroying their entire worldview.
02:18:32.000And she just gave you the most corporate, like she was just silent for a minute.
02:18:42.000And you're like, oh man, that is really weak.
02:18:45.000There was like a point where I knew we had to go in to start talking about specific individuals, and then we got to the point where I said, at what point did you become the arbiters of what opinions are allowed in public discourse, removing people based on your ideals and things like that.
02:19:31.000You just see it as, well, obviously this is the wrong thing to do, so we're not biased, we're against the wrong thing to do.
02:19:37.000And you're like, no, it's your bias that makes you think this is the wrong thing to do.
02:19:40.000Well, ask them specifically about body dysmorphia.
02:19:43.000There's very similar symptoms to people who have dysphoria and dysmorphia.
02:19:47.000And I said, are you going to start protecting people who are criticized when they want to cut their hands off?
02:19:50.000I'm not trying to say it's the same thing.
02:19:52.000No, it's just taking this to the logical conclusion.
02:19:56.000If we're going to do this for the reasons you're saying, then why not this?
02:19:59.000Well, we protect all groups that are experiencing some kind of body dysmorphia.
02:20:04.000Or will you only limit it to your ideological point of view?
02:20:07.000Or towards the groups you feel should be protected?
02:20:10.000Because I'll tell you this, if you want to protect the trans community, then I'll say, absolutely, I think it's a noble cause, and I completely respect it.
02:20:16.000Can we talk about the other groups that need those same protections?
02:20:42.000Although Trump had the resources to crush the establishment and reach people as an outsider, he still lacked the real philosophical principles to go anywhere with the momentum.
02:20:52.000You know, it is in many ways a shame that it's like to get the kind of personality and power to become president.
02:21:01.000Trump had that, but he didn't have, as you and they mentioned, the philosophical principles.
02:21:09.000A Rand Paul, I don't think, you know what I mean, with all due respect, because I like Rand Paul, I don't think he has the X factor to be president.
02:22:00.000Uh, for those that aren't familiar, so Dave Rubin has locals.com where you can basically create your own, you know, like your own social network where people go and it's just you and your followers and your subscribers.
02:22:09.000So it really cuts out the bots and stuff.
02:22:12.000Uh, I'm doing my own website, timcast.com, which is basically similar, but it's mine.
02:22:16.000But could you imagine if Trump signs up there and then all of the people who hate Trump subscribe and pay money because they can't let it go and they need to hear what he has to say.
02:23:21.000A lot of channels are getting hit with blanket restrictions and bans, and my page on Facebook has received some kind of restriction.
02:23:26.000I don't know what it means or what it's, it's blanket.
02:23:28.000There's not, it's nondescript, but the risk is real.
02:23:32.000So that's why we've been trying to push really hard to get TimCast.com up and running and start the vlog show and do more because we're at risk as well.
02:23:39.000So you can check that out and sign up.
02:24:27.000It's fun to like play kind of game of like mind Sudoku with these stories.
02:24:30.000But I just look, you can only, you can only believe so much or you need evidence and stuff.
02:24:34.000And so when someone comes to me with some fantastic story, I'm just like, I, I think it's fun, but you know, I'm not going to base my life around it.
02:25:18.000Will it be like, you know what'll happen though?
02:25:20.000So this is, this is what it's called, uh, to provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms and to prohibit the possession of certain ammunition.
02:27:51.000Bernie Sanders came out in, I think, 2018 and he was like, we gotta have border security.
02:27:55.000Well, there's one interview, I think it's earlier, like in 2016 or something, where Ezra Klein, this is before he got big into the presidential runs and he was just being honest, and Ezra Klein asked him if we should support open borders.
02:28:15.000You want to like, which by the way kind of makes sense from Bernie's perspective, because it doesn't, well it also just doesn't jive with any of his policies.
02:28:21.000Like look, you can argue, and I think fairly consistently, that if you have like no welfare state, none of that stuff, then you can have an Ellis Island situation where people come in.
02:28:32.000But if you have, if you have like health care, housing, education, all of these things paid for by the taxpayer, And open borders?
02:29:30.000Smack in the face, but I'm you know, it's crazy to me that someone like Vosh would call me far right and I'm literally Like still I was praising Bernie recently The problem I have is the wokeness makes no sense and it is hurting the working class and causing them to fight each other How does it make sense that a a black woman worth a billion dollars is more oppressed than a homeless white man?
02:29:48.000Well, we're talking about supporting the bourgeoisie and that's what even throwing the proletariat out the window And it gets to the point where like, you know, when Michelle Obama gave her speech at the DNC, and she's talking right away, she's like, now I know some people disagree with me, of course, a black woman up here talking to you and blah, blah, blah, you know, and it's like, so you, your first thing has to be this strict identitarianism.
02:30:12.000And because of racial and gender identity, you are a victim.
02:30:16.000Lady, your husband was elected president.
02:30:31.000And some of these people are politicians that are literally instituting policy, like we saw in New York City with the school chancellor, literally arguing that if you're a poor white person, resources should not go to you.
02:30:42.000They should go to someone of color, no matter their wealth.
02:30:45.000Just said the other day, he just gave a speech from the president-elect's little podium thing that he does, where he said our focus is going to be on black-owned businesses, Latino-owned businesses, and female-owned businesses.
02:30:58.000Now, I'm sorry, that is so much more blatantly racist than anything Donald Trump's ever said.
02:31:04.000I mean, can you imagine if Donald Trump ever just got up there and said, hey, this one racial group They're not our focus of help, but everybody else is.
02:31:19.000So I've been thinking about it, and I think a lot of these leftists, people like Vaush, are more pro-establishment than they are populist.
02:31:27.000Because you have a choice between the establishment, pro-war machine, corporate lobbying, big banks, the theft of the working class, and Donald Trump.
02:31:35.000And for me, the choice was Donald Trump.
02:31:38.000Even though I lean left on policies, don't agree with Trump on a fair amount of issues, don't agree with conservatives on a fair amount of issues, but agree with, you know, anti-establishment principles and more populist causes, I'd rather see someone like Trump, who just, like you said, he doesn't hate these people.
02:31:53.000It was like, for the first time, they experienced someone actually fighting for him.
02:31:56.000And I'm like, that's better than Joe Biden.
02:32:03.000He's going to strip the wealth and privileges that the working class have fought so hard to try and accomplish and give it to his wealthy elites, the corporate lobbyists, the big banks.
02:32:32.000You just put this establishment, military, mass-murdering regime back in power.
02:32:38.000So now when they start, one day these people are going to wake up, looking at their paychecks, looking at what's going on, and they're going to be shocked.
02:32:44.000But I'll tell you what, most of them are just tribalists anyway.
02:32:47.000It's not about policy for them, it's just about which side should or needs to win.
02:32:52.000We spend a good deal of this show ragging on Donald Trump.
02:32:55.000Because, look, as much as I often find myself in a defensive position for him, like you were mentioning, his critics are so insane, you're like, Donald Trump could walk up to a dog and scream at it, and you start going, whoa, whoa, whoa!
02:33:07.000But then all of a sudden, you see a news report saying Donald Trump threw a puppy off a bridge, and you're like, no he didn't!
02:33:18.000I can criti- You know, so anyway, look.
02:33:21.000I hope that the left and the right can actually find some common ground on populist causes, but I really do think it's mostly tribalist.
02:33:26.000I think that's the big problem we have right now.
02:33:28.000But with that being said, our two-hour show has basically become a two-and-a-half-hour show, because when we have good conversations, we just kind of keep going.
