Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Neil Young DEMAND To Ban Joe Rogan BACKFIRES, Spotify Boots his Music w-Tom Fitton

00:00:00.000 So Neil Young threatens an ultimatum.

00:00:08.000 Tell Spotify either me or Joe Rogan.

00:00:12.000 And he stood firm.

00:00:13.000 Good for him.

00:00:14.000 And Spotify said, uh, uh, dude, Joe Rogan.

00:00:16.000 And he went, oh.

00:00:17.000 And then they remove, they're going to remove all of his music.

00:00:19.000 So congratulations, Neil.

00:00:21.000 You, uh, you have lost this one, but hey, I gotta be honest.

00:00:24.000 At least he's standing by his threats.

00:00:26.000 So, uh, there you go.

00:00:28.000 Thank goodness.

00:00:29.000 Thank, thank, thank, thank goodness that he's, he's, he's standing up, uh, for what he believed in.

00:00:29.000 Yeah.

00:00:33.000 Uh, you know what?

00:00:34.000 I gotta be honest.

00:00:35.000 More power to him.

00:00:36.000 If he wants to, uh, if he wants to make a threat and he stood by it.

00:00:38.000 Alright.

00:00:39.000 There's actually really big news, in fact.

00:00:41.000 It's, uh, it's something wrong.

00:00:42.000 Something's wrong with the audio, isn't it?

00:00:45.000 Let's find out.

00:00:46.000 Maybe there's something wrong with the audio.

00:00:47.000 Either way, I'll just keep talking.

00:00:48.000 Um...

00:00:50.000 Supreme Court Justice Breyer is going to retire.

00:00:53.000 In my opinion, this sends a huge, a very powerful signal Democrats expect to lose in November.

00:00:58.000 I think all the polling shows this and Breyer is likely retiring now so that they can nominate someone and get them through before the Democrats lose the House and the Senate.

00:01:09.000 And that's the interesting thing, losing the Senate too, because we expect them to lose the House.

00:01:13.000 We've got a 29th Democrat retiring.

00:01:15.000 Very, very interesting stuff, so we'll get into that.

00:01:17.000 And we're being joined by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.

00:01:20.000 And you can talk a lot about a lot of the lawsuits you have, one of which is California requires you to have a woman on the board or something like that?

00:01:20.000 Hi.

00:01:28.000 Yeah, if you're a public company, you have to have a corporate, there's a new rule that you have to have a certain number of women on the board. 1.00

00:01:36.000 And what that means, the mirror of that is that if you're a man, you can't apply for certain board positions or be considered for certain board positions of public companies in California.

00:01:46.000 It's outrageously illegal.

00:01:48.000 It's kind of critical theory, feminist style.

00:01:51.000 So we sued on behalf of taxpayers in California.

00:01:53.000 California has a liberal Taxpayer standing law that allows taxpayers to challenge illegal activity by government officials.

00:02:03.000 Oh, interesting.

00:02:04.000 So, you know, we've been in a now six-week trial as the government has come in and tried to make the case that not only are they remedying discrimination without having any evidence of discrimination, but also that making sure that there's sex discrimination in corporate boards actually helps companies.

00:02:25.000 So it's a big deal.

00:02:26.000 It's critical theory, the feminist version of it, on trial. 0.62

00:02:31.000 And the left is very concerned about it because they have a new law that followed up on that where they expanded the required quotas to your other protected classes, minorities, sexual orientation and things like that.

00:02:46.000 So there's a whole quota system they've put in place to make sure that boards are following what they want to follow in terms of upending So you guys do a lot of lawsuits.

00:02:57.000 of anti-discrimination law.

00:02:59.000 So you guys do a lot of lawsuits.

00:03:04.000 Yeah.

00:03:05.000 Do you wanna just give a brief introduction as to who you are and what you do?

00:03:08.000 Well, Judicial Watch is, I run Judicial Watch, I'm president of Judicial Watch,

00:03:12.000 and we are a non-profit educational foundation, and we sue the government,

00:03:18.000 mostly to get access to information, but we represent people whose rights have been violated.

00:03:24.000 We help whistleblowers and in the case like in California where we sue government officials or government agencies when they're breaking the law.

00:03:32.000 And when it comes to uncovering government corruption here in D.C., we're second to none.

00:03:39.000 We've done more than Congress and the media and such.

00:03:41.000 So it's really incredible work.

00:03:43.000 And I say that not because I'm president of Judicial Watch.

00:03:44.000 I just see everything we're doing.

00:03:46.000 It's just incredible.

00:03:48.000 Well, we've got a lot to talk about, so thanks for joining us.

00:03:48.000 Right on, man.

00:03:51.000 We've got Seamus tonight.

00:03:52.000 No Luke.

00:03:53.000 ShimCast is on tonight.

00:03:53.000 Yep, no.

00:03:55.000 So Luke went on down to Florida.

00:03:58.000 We miss him.

00:03:59.000 We love him.

00:04:00.000 But I'm going to be filling in for him for a little while until he's back.

00:04:03.000 And it's great to be here.

00:04:04.000 And it's also great to get a chance to meet you.

00:04:06.000 And I think the work you're doing is fantastic.

00:04:08.000 Thank you.

00:04:09.000 I love your background, Seamus.

00:04:09.000 We've got an audio problem.

00:04:10.000 Thank you.

00:04:11.000 Yeah, I think Tim might be kind of quiet.

00:04:13.000 No, my mic is completely off.

00:04:14.000 Okay, so we hear Kim's room tone.

00:04:16.000 Hopefully, you know, just keep the comments coming and let us know who sounds super chill.

00:04:21.000 Oh, hey, there we go.

00:04:22.000 There we go.

00:04:25.000 Tim's back.

00:04:26.000 So we will be bouncing.

00:04:27.000 I thought I thought I thought I was doing something wrong.

00:04:29.000 Getting all the signals from everyone.

00:04:31.000 There's like people in the background.

00:04:33.000 So no one can see this because we're really good at it.

00:04:34.000 But when like the cameras on Seamus, I'm waving my arm.

00:04:37.000 It's true.

00:04:40.000 I'm like, all right, just keep listening.

00:04:41.000 Is my microphone on now?

00:04:43.000 Yeah, you sound good.

00:04:45.000 Now I can hear you.

00:04:45.000 I was like, what's happening?

00:04:47.000 I couldn't hear anything.

00:04:48.000 And I'm like, are my headphones off?

00:04:49.000 Like, what's going on?

00:04:50.000 You know, we have this soundboard we got to upgrade, to be completely honest.

00:04:54.000 Oh, nice.

00:04:55.000 Yeah, because people notice this.

00:04:56.000 We started the show one time, and it was like static.

00:05:00.000 And it was really weird, because it makes no sense why that would happen.

00:05:04.000 Welcome to the future.

00:05:04.000 These things happen.

00:05:05.000 Anyway, I don't know.

00:05:05.000 Ian, did you introduce yourself already?

00:05:07.000 No, not yet.

00:05:07.000 I'm Ian Crossland.

00:05:08.000 You can follow me at iancrossland.net if you want to follow my social media networks, and I'm happy to be here.

00:05:13.000 Thank you.

00:05:14.000 Hello, Tom.

00:05:14.000 Hi, James.

00:05:15.000 And I am also here in the corner trying to fix these sound problems.

00:05:18.000 I don't know what's going on over here.

00:05:20.000 I turned Tim's mic all the way off to get it to try to work a little bit righter, so hopefully you guys will let me know if anything more is going on, and I will keep an eye on it.

00:05:27.000 Yeah, I think your mic is off as well.

00:05:29.000 Yeah, I'm not hearing you.

00:05:30.000 Yeah, did someone come in and turn all the mics off?

00:05:32.000 No, nothing.

00:05:32.000 Is that better?

00:05:33.000 Sneaky leprechauns.

00:05:34.000 Wait, why is it the leprechauns?

00:05:35.000 It had nothing to do with the Irish people.

00:05:37.000 It's a little messed up. 1.00

00:05:37.000 It had nothing to do with you, shit. 1.00

00:05:39.000 Ian immediately comes in with the anti-Irish racism. 1.00

00:05:41.000 Yeah, I know.

00:05:42.000 I'm Irish!

00:05:42.000 This is just like the Chicago Fire.

00:05:44.000 Blame the Irish. 1.00

00:05:45.000 Oh, we got a Saudirian cow. 0.91

00:05:46.000 Fantastic.

00:05:47.000 Kicked over a lantern.

00:05:47.000 German and Irish.

00:05:48.000 Wait, I thought they blamed the cow.

00:05:50.000 They blame Miss O'Leary's cow. 1.00

00:05:51.000 They had to pick an Irish woman. 1.00

00:05:52.000 Like, the whole city burns down, and they're like, you know, it was probably an Irish lady's cow. 1.00

00:05:57.000 Yeah, no doubt.

00:05:57.000 It's like, come on.

00:05:58.000 We know what they were doing.

00:05:58.000 We just escaped.

00:05:59.000 Sure.

00:05:59.000 All right, everybody.

00:06:01.000 Let's get back on track.

00:06:11.000 And we call it the uncensored segment because We swear a lot.

00:06:17.000 I mean, that's basically what we do.

00:06:19.000 We're like, it's uncensored and people think they're getting secret information.

00:06:22.000 It's actually just us cussing the whole time.

00:06:24.000 But no, we do talk about, there's some subjects that are obviously a little too spicy for YouTube.

00:06:28.000 They would ban us.

00:06:29.000 So we do try to have those conversations on the website.

00:06:32.000 And as a member, you're just helping support all of our journalists.

00:06:34.000 And don't forget to like this video, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and let's jump into the first story.

00:06:42.000 You know, we talked about Joe Rogan too much.

00:06:47.000 We certainly do.

00:06:48.000 And I've acknowledged that before.

00:06:50.000 And I guess the issue is, you know, we are sitting down and we're looking at all the news today.

00:06:54.000 We got the story, Spotify to take down Neil Young's music after his Joe Rogan ultimatum.

00:06:59.000 And I'm sitting here and, you know, and I look over at our good friend, Tom, and I'm like, what's more important, Stephen Breyer, a Supreme Court justice, retiring or Neil Young losing his battle with Spotify to get Joe Rogan banned?

00:07:11.000 And I don't know, because I feel like the Supreme Court is more important, but you made a really great point.

00:07:15.000 You said the Great Suppression is the biggest story, or something to that effect.

00:07:19.000 Yeah, that's what we're in the midst of, the Great Suppression.

00:07:22.000 We have massive censorship, or an effort for censorship, targeting opposition to whatever you want to call it.

00:07:31.000 The big state, deep state, the communists, whoever you want to call it.

00:07:36.000 And the communists are willing to use multi-millionaires like Neil Young to suppress other successful people.

00:07:46.000 But he lost.

00:07:47.000 Yeah, he lost.

00:07:48.000 You know, but it's but Rogan isn't the only one being targeted.

00:07:51.000 It's his listeners being targeted.

00:07:52.000 So when you take away a leading voice that people look up to and communicate and use as a basis for further communications, that's suppression of all of Rogan's audience.

00:08:02.000 So whenever we're suppressed, all of our followers are suppressed and harmed as well.

00:08:07.000 It's the great suppression.

00:08:09.000 And it's not private.

00:08:10.000 It's government.

00:08:12.000 It's private.

00:08:13.000 And and it's corporate.

00:08:15.000 So we have a quote here.

00:08:16.000 I guess this is from Spotify.

00:08:18.000 They say, Mr. Young's record label, Warner Music Group, Corpse Warner Records, formally requested Spotify remove his music Wednesday, which would take several hours to take effect across Spotify services across the world.

00:08:30.000 Quote, we want all the world's music and audio content to be available to Spotify users.

00:08:35.000 With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators, Spotify spokesman said Wednesday.

00:08:43.000 We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify but hope to welcome him back soon."

00:08:49.000 Now, the way the left is portraying this is, Neil Young stood on his principles and said,

00:08:55.000 I do not want to share a platform with that man, and so they took his music down.

00:08:59.000 I see it as a big loss, because what his intent, what he was trying to do was he was like,

00:09:04.000 I'm Neil Young! You better ban Joe Rogan or I'm out! And they were like, dude, Joe Rogan gets

00:09:09.000 hundreds of millions of downloads per month and you get six.

00:09:14.000 You don't have any new music that's like breaking the charts.

00:09:16.000 You're not Nicki Minaj.

00:09:17.000 Well, that's the thing It's that really embarrassing outdated rock star ego like this isn't a convention center where you can request you only have green M&Ms in the bowl or you throw a fit like Joe Rogan gets way more views and downloads than him and I don't know why Neil Young thought himself in a position to determine what we should be able to listen to but I think it's kind of hilarious that Spotify gave him the old okay boomer get off our platform.

00:09:40.000 We don't care.

00:09:41.000 We don't need you.

00:09:41.000 Is he a boomer though?

00:09:42.000 He's 76.

00:09:43.000 Oh my gosh, he's older than one.

00:09:44.000 Well, I apologize for mis-generationing Neil Young, but I'm telling you, I'm glad his music's off the platform, because I think it's great.

00:09:53.000 Is that Boomer, or is that Silent?

00:09:55.000 It's like 1944.

00:09:55.000 Is that Boomer?

00:09:58.000 Okay, so I was right, Tim.

00:10:00.000 Boomers is like 1944, right?

00:10:01.000 1944 is when they began, and it was Silent up until then.

00:10:05.000 I'm Generation X, and Boomer is ahead of that.

00:10:10.000 Well, point is, I think it's a fantastic victory.

00:10:12.000 The fact that this old school celebrity who thinks he's a lot cooler and more relevant than he is tried to throw his weight around and got taken down is, uh, kind of incredible.

00:10:20.000 But he's the oldest you can be to be a boomer.

00:10:23.000 I just googled it.

00:10:24.000 It says 76.

00:10:25.000 68 to 76.

00:10:27.000 And then technically it says you could also be 58 to 67.

00:10:31.000 There's like two boomer generations, I guess.

00:10:32.000 Okay, so he's the world's oldest boomer.

00:10:33.000 No, no, no, that's silent generation. 0.57

00:10:35.000 The world's oldest boomer just got booted off of Spotify.

00:10:37.000 Yeah, just got booted off Spotify.

00:10:38.000 I'm about it, Ian.

00:10:40.000 Good.

00:10:40.000 You know, I think of Neil Young.

00:10:41.000 He's always struck me as an angry dude.

00:10:43.000 When I was a kid, I used to look at his face and be like, why is he so mad?

00:10:45.000 Silent Generation, I was right. 0.97

00:10:47.000 Seamus was wrong.

00:10:47.000 Well, you were the silent generation when the mic wasn't working earlier.

00:10:50.000 Big talk, Seamus.

00:10:51.000 Big talk, Seamus.

00:10:54.000 Yeah, so, but this is, this is, I mean, this is a big story.

00:10:59.000 It's, it's what I got out of this.

00:11:01.000 And I mentioned this the other day is Neil Young, this protest guy.

00:11:05.000 I thought he was supposed to be protesting free speech, right?

00:11:07.000 Well, anti-war is his big thing.

00:11:08.000 I don't think he's a free speech guy.

00:11:09.000 No, the anti-war movement was the free speech movement.

00:11:12.000 He was part of that, yeah.

00:11:14.000 And now they're like, oh, speech is bad.

00:11:16.000 How many war hawks has Neil Young tried to protest being on the same platform as?

00:11:22.000 That's a good point.

00:11:24.000 He did the song, Attacking MTV, for taking commercials or, you know, being too corporate.

00:11:30.000 And he complained that MTV wouldn't play his song.

00:11:35.000 So the irony of him trying to suppress another, you know, artist or another person who has a right, a God-given right to share his views.

00:11:46.000 And, you know, this is a battle.

00:11:48.000 You know, it's embarrassing, I think, for the left here.

00:11:50.000 They're never embarrassed.

00:11:51.000 They don't stop because normal people would be embarrassed.

00:11:55.000 They don't follow those rules.

00:11:56.000 They had the scientists who weren't scientists try to pressure to take him off.

00:12:02.000 They were hoping to get a ball rolling with Neil Young and something else.

00:12:07.000 They'll keep on pushing Rogan.

00:12:09.000 Rogan is a threat and they are not going to stop.

00:12:13.000 I don't think zombies get embarrassed that they're eating brains, you know what I mean?

00:12:19.000 Well, isn't it hilarious that they put together this list of like 300 doctors who weren't really doctors?

00:12:23.000 Dentists.

00:12:24.000 Yeah, dentists.

00:12:25.000 And they thought like that didn't work.

00:12:28.000 So they're like, we're busting out the big guns.

00:12:30.000 We're gonna get Neil Young to try to take him down.

00:12:32.000 You're saying they?

00:12:32.000 You think that people were encouraging Neil to do this?

00:12:34.000 Activists, yeah.

00:12:35.000 Yeah, the organized left has, they've been doing this for years in terms of targeting voices they disagree with, and usually it's trying to controversialize them to get commercials off or advertises off.

00:12:51.000 You know, Rush Limbaugh faced this years ago.

00:12:54.000 So it's, You know, unfortunately, there's nothing new under the sun, but it's gotten worse.

00:12:58.000 Things have metastasized in terms of the attack on speech.

00:13:02.000 And my view is we're in a revolutionary moment.

00:13:06.000 It's dangerous.

00:13:07.000 I agree.

00:13:08.000 I agree.

00:13:08.000 But I will say, following this story, I hope Neil Young will remember that freedom-loving people don't need him around anyhow.

00:13:15.000 Love it.

00:13:17.000 Beautiful.

00:13:18.000 I've got to tell you, I've lived in Georgia for the past couple of years, and it's true.

00:13:21.000 A Southern man don't need him around anyhow.

00:13:23.000 I mean, he apologized for that, apparently.

00:13:26.000 You know, when he got criticized for writing... Neil Young wrote these two songs criticizing himself, and then he actually commented on it later, being like, yeah, I shouldn't have written those songs, they were too broad, whatever.

00:13:37.000 It's cancel culture.

00:13:38.000 I want to say, real quick, the funniest thing about this story is how the one person who's not talked about it is Joe Rogan himself.

00:13:46.000 Like, he doesn't care, it doesn't involve him, he's minding his own business, and everyone else is like, you know, we're sitting here waving our arms in the air, hooting and hollering like, oh!

00:13:56.000 And it's like, I imagine it's just, Joe's like, I have a feeling I'd call him and be like, hey, this Neil Young thing, and he'll be like, what happened?

00:14:04.000 I'll be like, Neil Young, man, you trying to get too banned?

00:14:05.000 And he'd be like, I don't know what you're talking about, Tim.

00:14:08.000 And I'd be like, oh.

00:14:09.000 Well, he doesn't care.

00:14:10.000 It's not relevant.

00:14:11.000 The public policy implication, the problem there is you've got the media celebrating it, though. 0.83

00:14:16.000 You know, Neil Young, it's ridiculous, as we're talking about.

00:14:20.000 But the media kind of salivating and celebrating the targeting of Young, and you see, you know, the CNN types and people like that, they love that this is happening.

00:14:30.000 And so that's the dangerous side of it.

00:14:31.000 You've got this whole media political complex, along with big tech, that is excited about taking out voices they don't like.

00:14:43.000 Well, the ratings are in the gutter.

00:14:45.000 Their revenues are in the gutter.

00:14:47.000 I think we saw that turning point for CNN when they lost their airport contracts.

00:14:53.000 And all of a sudden, I mean, that was, what, 95% of their viewership?

00:14:57.000 And I'm only half-kidding, to be honest.

00:14:58.000 I don't think it was that much.

00:14:59.000 But CNN's viewership was largely airports and hotel lobbies.

00:15:04.000 And then they lost the airport deal.

00:15:06.000 That could be a big reason why their ratings tanked.

00:15:08.000 But I don't know if they actually count the airport stuff in the ratings, to be honest.

00:15:12.000 People are probably gonna be like, no, they don't do that.

00:15:14.000 But they lost tremendous reach.

00:15:17.000 They know they're losing it to Joe Rogan, among other people.

00:15:19.000 And the dishonest side of it is, they're competitors.

00:15:23.000 It's not even just politics, it's a business.

00:15:26.000 The business is, they're losing viewers to people like Rogan, and you, and frankly anyone else who has a voice online.

00:15:33.000 Normally isn't heard in CNN.

00:15:35.000 Well, and that's what's so hilarious about the entire situation.

00:15:37.000 You're absolutely right.

00:15:38.000 People are looking at this as a matter of politics and on some level it is, but what is very interesting is the fact that he is direct competition for them in the business that they're operating in.

00:15:48.000 And so when they write these articles about him, it's literally people who work for the companies that he's competing with talking about how horrible he is.

00:15:55.000 Well, of course they're going to say that.

00:15:57.000 And what the media always does, and what the left always does, is as soon as they start losing, they immediately portray themselves as martyrs and victims.

00:16:04.000 But the narrative falls apart with Rogan because he's one guy who people really want to listen to.

00:16:10.000 And they make it seem like he's this reckless and irresponsible man who's bullying them.

00:16:15.000 Hey, but isn't it crazy how they've really ramped up the attacks on Joe Rogan?

00:16:19.000 Yes.

00:16:20.000 I was just reading a story, like some attorney general was saying Joe Rogan should be censored.

00:16:24.000 Who was that?

00:16:25.000 He's like their Trump now.

00:16:26.000 Yeah.

00:16:26.000 I think it's the Surgeon General.

00:16:28.000 was like Joe Biden's attorney general. He thinks it was Biden's.

00:16:31.000 Yeah. Wow.

00:16:32.000 The surgeon general came out and said something about

00:16:36.000 disinformation online.

00:16:37.000 I don't know if he said that.

00:16:38.000 Yeah. Not the attorney general.

00:16:40.000 Surgeon general.

00:16:41.000 Yeah. Yeah.

00:16:42.000 Isn't that like a man there?

00:16:43.000 There they've lost control.

00:16:45.000 And, you know, it makes me feel real good.

00:16:48.000 It's great.

00:16:49.000 It's beautiful to see.

00:16:50.000 Joe, we're gonna have Jordan Peterson on, and oh boy, are they all triggered.

00:16:54.000 Yeah.

00:16:54.000 Those cult-y leftists are like, oh no, and they're lying.

00:16:57.000 It's so hilarious how, like, dude, when you take a clip from Joe's show and then post it along with a quote that Joe did not say, You're a moron. 1.00

00:17:09.000 Anyone can watch it. 1.00

00:17:10.000 Right.

00:17:10.000 And so when the people are sharing it, I see this clip where it's like,

00:17:14.000 Joe Rogan said, unless someone is 100% black, you can't call them black.

00:17:17.000 And I was like, I'm going to watch this clip.

00:17:20.000 And Joe said, nothing of the sort.

00:17:22.000 Nothing of the sort.

00:17:23.000 They're just making things up.

00:17:24.000 Yeah.

00:17:25.000 I mean, some of those things were like, tangentially related to what he was talking about.

00:17:30.000 He said it was basically strange that there's like people from all over the world of different

00:17:33.000 skin tones and different backgrounds, and just calling all of them black just seems kind of

00:17:38.000 weird because they're different people from different, you know.

00:17:41.000 And I was like, yeah, you know, like, sure, I get what Joe's trying to say.

00:17:45.000 But then to take that claim, That Joe's saying, unless someone's 100% black, you can't call them black.

00:17:49.000 I was like, why would they just lie about that?

00:17:51.000 So when someone then retweets that, I'm just like, these are not serious people.

00:17:54.000 No.

00:17:56.000 It's good, though, because you know they're just lying.

00:17:58.000 I don't think a single person believes when they retweet something like that, and they're like, ah, look at what Joe said.

00:18:03.000 I'm like, I know you don't believe that.

00:18:05.000 Yeah.

00:18:05.000 Because, like, you can listen to the guy.

00:18:07.000 And what Joe Rogan is saying actually opens up a very interesting discussion, which is the fact that in the United States of America, black people have a racial identity but not an ethnic identity because of the tragic history there, and the fact that they don't know which part of Africa they're from as individual people, whereas with the white population, a person generally knows if they're Irish, German, English, Dutch, whatever ancestry they have.

00:18:26.000 And there's something tragic there, and it shapes the way that a culture operates, but of course the media has to turn that into Joe Rogan is racist and says you can't call someone black unless they're 100% black. 0.97

00:18:36.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:18:38.000 Well, you know, from the outside, it looks crazy. 0.96

00:18:40.000 The self, you know, the identity issues.

00:18:43.000 And it sounds to me like Rogan was highlighting that.

00:18:46.000 It's like, well, how do you calculate who's one color versus the other?

00:18:50.000 Especially since we now envision people being able to self-identify any way they want.

00:18:56.000 Yeah.

00:18:57.000 And, you know, the left enjoys that.

00:19:00.000 They like that.

00:19:00.000 But the downside of that is it's going to blow up the anti-discrimination infrastructure we have here

00:19:07.000 in the United States.

00:19:09.000 So if you have laws that protect women from being discriminated against,

00:19:14.000 or you have laws that protect people from being discriminated on the basis of race,

00:19:18.000 if they self-identify in ways that are kind of raise issues in that regard,

00:19:23.000 well, how are the laws applied?

00:19:25.000 And so there's this kind of war on reality in some respects, but also war on the law in terms of discrimination.

00:19:32.000 They don't believe in these anti-discrimination laws because the way they talk and think about them would actually negate them and make them inapplicable.

00:19:41.000 I think for me, one thing that instantly broke me out of the left lies, I just immediately saw it, was how someone can identify as whatever they want, As long as you agree with their political ideology.

00:19:55.000 Yeah.

00:19:56.000 Like someone super chatted us this the other day. 0.77

00:19:57.000 They said, Black people can't be racist, but Candace Owens is racist. 1.00

00:20:02.000 Yes, exactly. 0.98

00:20:03.000 Okay, hold on there a minute.

00:20:05.000 Because according to their, that makes no sense.

00:20:07.000 Yeah.

00:20:07.000 But they say it.

00:20:08.000 Well, for a Marxist, it makes perfect sense.

00:20:11.000 I mean, that's communism 101. 0.92

00:20:13.000 She has false consciousness and she's not black. 1.00

00:20:15.000 Well, I mean, that's that's communism.

00:20:17.000 Well, it's interesting because the question I've always wanted to ask, they always pose this as a question of black versus white.

00:20:21.000 And it's like, OK, well, like what if a black person hates an Asian person or what if an Asian person hates a black person or a Hispanic person hates a black person?

00:20:27.000 Like if you're not white, you can't be racist. 0.77

00:20:30.000 So is that not racist? 0.77

00:20:30.000 What if an Asian person is black? 0.77

00:20:34.000 I'm about to bend some minds, yo. 0.99

00:20:37.000 What if everyone in this room hates an Irishman?

00:20:40.000 Well, you guys all do, based on the way I'm treated.

00:20:42.000 Now, to be fair, and I've said this on the show before, I know people who are actually born and raised in Ireland get upset when you say you're Irish and you've only lived in America, but here's the thing, I'm not bragging, it's an admission.

00:20:55.000 Okay, yes, this is where my ancestors are from.

00:20:59.000 I'm kidding, I'm proud of it.

00:21:00.000 But I'm pretty sure everyone in this room is Irish.

00:21:02.000 No, everyone's got some Irish in them.

00:21:03.000 Are you part Irish?

00:21:04.000 Yes.

00:21:04.000 That's because the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, baby.

00:21:07.000 That's the truth.

00:21:08.000 Ireland.

00:21:08.000 But, you know, the other thing, too, is I find it hilarious when I see people talking about me on, you know, like, Reddit or something, and they say, like, people I don't know why people will be like, Tim Pool doesn't identify as white or whatever, and I'm just like, I have no idea what that means.

00:21:25.000 No.

00:21:25.000 Dude, I don't identify as white.

00:21:26.000 What does that mean?

00:21:27.000 I don't know what that means.

00:21:28.000 Yeah.

00:21:28.000 It's supposed to be your skin color, but it's not.

00:21:31.000 No one's white. 0.54

00:21:31.000 No one has white skin. 0.54

00:21:32.000 It's crazy.

00:21:33.000 But look, the left, social justice, Marxist cult or whatever, doesn't view race as skin color.

00:21:41.000 They view race as political.

00:21:44.000 Then they later, depending on, like, man, this is what they do.

00:21:50.000 In order to win an argument, they have two different paths they can take with the same language.

00:21:56.000 So they can say, no, I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about how someone can look at this man and discriminate against him.

00:22:01.000 And then later they'll be like, I'm not talking about skin color, I'm talking about the politics of blackness, the political blackness.

00:22:06.000 It's like, okay, dude, you're talking about whatever gets you power.

00:22:09.000 I get it.

00:22:10.000 Well, and this is the thing.

00:22:11.000 I mean, when they talk about being white or identifying as white, they fail to take into account how an individual person actually identifies themselves.

00:22:20.000 And so I understand their argument that because I'm white, I don't really think about my skin color, etc.

00:22:24.000 But if you look culturally at my upbringing, being from an Irish Catholic home in the Chicago area, And you compare that to the upbringing of a white Dutch person or a white English person who was raised in a Protestant home or without religion, you would actually find, and I have found this just based on the churches I've been to throughout my life, is that I have far more in common with a person on the basis of what religion they were raised in as opposed to their skin color.

00:22:50.000 And so when you're talking to a black person or a Mexican person who was raised in a Catholic household, you can just relate on a level that I don't relate to on somebody just because Just because they're white. 0.95

00:23:01.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:23:02.000 That's not how I identify. 0.85

00:23:04.000 I have more in common with people that play Blue in Magic the Gathering than their skin color.

00:23:09.000 I don't care about that.

00:23:11.000 Matt Walsh made this point when he was on Dr. Phil.

00:23:15.000 He said, we can dig up a skeleton hundreds of years later and we can't know what they were thinking, but we can know it's male or female or whatever.

00:23:21.000 And I think that actually says a lot more than just that conversation.

00:23:24.000 It's like you are so much more as to who you are on the inside, your values, the things you believe, than what you look like.

00:23:31.000 You know what I mean?

00:23:31.000 And it's such a funny thing.

00:23:32.000 I joke about this, but in the United States, Irish people were not considered white until being white meant you had to apologize for being white. 0.66

00:23:39.000 Well, there you go.

00:23:40.000 Congratulations, James.

00:23:41.000 No, I know.

00:23:42.000 But no, it's just interesting because whiteness is a label that was actually used to bludgeon my ancestors.

00:23:47.000 So when you look at who was excluded from the United States, And what's frustrating to me is that we're having this conversation and it's one thing to have the conversation.

00:24:02.000 It's another thing to be in positions where you're in a school and you're a teacher or you're in government.

00:24:08.000 And you're being told you are a bad person because of the color of your skin.

00:24:13.000 So the CRT, or whatever you want to call it, the woke approach, it's not just about it's offensive morally and intellectually.

00:24:23.000 As applied, it's illegal.

00:24:26.000 You're not supposed to discriminate on the basis of race and select people on the basis of race.

00:24:31.000 I mean, we just had settled a lawsuit in Asheville, North Carolina.

00:24:35.000 They had a scholarship program.

00:24:37.000 Only black kids could apply. 1.00

00:24:40.000 Completely outrageous. 1.00

00:24:41.000 Yeah, that's insane.

00:24:42.000 So we filed a civil rights claim against them and they settled and they changed the rules so that it's, you know, it's race neutral.

00:24:48.000 Well, so let me let me ask you, but it's it but they're trying to undo constitutional protections of equal protection of the law. 0.97

00:24:56.000 And the civil rights laws of the 60s.

00:24:58.000 They're trying to do it.

00:24:59.000 We're trying to defend it.

00:25:01.000 And I don't mean us, Judicial Watch, we are literally, but I mean us who are conservatives and follow the rule of law, we actually believe in non-discrimination.

00:25:10.000 They don't!

00:25:10.000 Isn't that crazy how they flip the script on you guys?

00:25:13.000 We're the civil rights advocates.

00:25:15.000 The craziest thing to me was this past election when we had California trying to repeal the civil rights language from their constitution.

00:25:22.000 Did you see that one?

00:25:23.000 They called it the Affirmative Action Amendment.

00:25:25.000 It was such a sleazy title for a bill.

00:25:29.000 It literally would just strip out from the California Constitution, the language says, you cannot discriminate on the basis of race, sexuality, or origin, or whatever, in public employment, contracting, and schooling, or something like that.

00:25:42.000 And they were like, we need to get rid of this so that we can be fair and treat minorities fair.

00:25:48.000 And I'm like, when?

00:25:50.000 We fought for civil rights in this country to make sure the law would not take these factors into account.

00:25:57.000 And now the left is trying to repeal that language in California.

00:26:00.000 They lost, by the way.

00:26:01.000 But I remember, you know, I've told you guys this story before, but those who haven't heard it, I was talking to a friend of mine, an activist, a prominent, you know, well-known celebrity in Hollywood, and we're having a conversation because we've been drifting apart politically, and I said, what's the, you know, the racial makeup of California?

00:26:17.000 And it's like 70, was it 70% white or something like that?

00:26:20.000 And I said, so do you think that when California repeals their non-discrimination language from the Constitution, that the 70% white majority is going to protect the minorities now? 0.59

00:26:32.000 Or do you think they'll just either consciously or unconsciously start benefiting themselves and their race?

00:26:38.000 And there's no real answer I get from these people.

00:26:42.000 Because they don't want to admit they're wrong in repealing this language because it's part of their tribe.

00:26:46.000 But I was like, look, some of these cities in California are like 99% white.

00:26:51.000 And if your perspective is that white people are racist, why would you empower these people to discriminate on the basis of race?

00:26:57.000 And they have no answer.

00:26:58.000 They have none.

00:26:59.000 Now, I got to be honest.

00:27:00.000 I don't really think white people in California are going to be like, ah, now's our chance to be racist.

00:27:05.000 But if that's their ideology, why would they want to repeal that language?

00:27:08.000 unless they actually want to be racist and they actually want to do these things.

00:27:12.000 Yeah, exactly. Well, because these white people aren't going to be like, 0.96

00:27:15.000 I can oppress other people who are non-white, but they could go, 1.00

00:27:18.000 I'm going to make myself feel better about this white guilt complex by 0.99

00:27:21.000 discriminating against white people. 0.78

00:27:24.000 I don't, I got to be honest. I really think that what we're dealing with in the culture war

00:27:29.000 stems largely from those in the know and those who aren't.

00:27:33.000 That's really it. I mean, if you go to, I went to the March for Our Lives, I think it

00:27:40.000 was.

00:27:40.000 That was the gun thing.

00:27:42.000 And I saw all these people holding up signs saying, ban assault weapons or whatever.

00:27:46.000 And I'd ask them, like, you know, what does that mean?

00:27:48.000 And they couldn't tell me.

00:27:50.000 And there were several people that said, you know, assault rifles should be illegal or should be, you know, like ban assault rifles.

00:27:56.000 And so I'd stop and I'd talk to people and I'd be like, hi, I wanted to ask you about your son.

00:28:00.000 And I said, so you want to ban assault rifles?

00:28:03.000 And they'd be like, yeah.

00:28:04.000 And I'd be like, well, they're almost entirely banned.

00:28:07.000 You can't make any new ones, I think, since 1984.

00:28:10.000 And in order to get one now, it requires, you know, a special licensing to take up to a year.

00:28:15.000 The tax stamp.

00:28:15.000 Yeah, the tax stamp.

00:28:16.000 They're typically very expensive.

00:28:17.000 They can be thousands of dollars.

00:28:18.000 And they would go, Oh, I didn't know that.

00:28:20.000 I'm like, what are you protesting?

00:28:22.000 I wasn't mean.

00:28:23.000 I had one woman.

00:28:25.000 She was holding up a sign and I asked her these questions and then she folded up.

00:28:27.000 She's like, oh, I didn't know.

00:28:29.000 I'm like, then what are you protesting?

00:28:32.000 So I genuinely believe a lot of these people just don't know.

00:28:34.000 So this activist friend of mine posted something recently from the March for Life.

00:28:39.000 You know, Seamus, you were down there.

00:28:40.000 And it was some like lefty guy walking up to protesters and saying, how many children have you adopted?

00:28:40.000 Yes.

00:28:46.000 And it was like this bumbling middle-aged woman. 1.00

00:28:48.000 She goes, none.

00:28:49.000 And he goes, oh, okay.

00:28:50.000 I've adopted two.

00:28:50.000 And she goes, great.

00:28:52.000 And then he goes, how many have you adopted?

00:28:53.000 And she's like, I've not adopted any kids.

00:28:55.000 And he's like, I've adopted two.

00:28:57.000 It's like, okay.

00:28:58.000 And I'm watching this and I'm like, what message is my friend trying to convey with this?

00:29:03.000 That these two women haven't adopted any children? 0.99

00:29:05.000 Most people don't adopt children.

00:29:07.000 Is this an indictment of the pro-life movement?

00:29:10.000 They just don't know.

00:29:11.000 If they went down there and they spoke to any of the organizers, they'd be like, oh.

00:29:17.000 Like a lot of the organizers, a lot of people involved, do run charities for helping children and promoting adoption, and they do adopt a whole lot, but they just don't know anything about this.

00:29:27.000 Why?

00:29:28.000 Well, I think apathy.

00:29:30.000 A lot of people just don't care.

00:29:32.000 They want to pretend to care.

00:29:33.000 Makes them look good on social media, right?

00:29:35.000 Yep. 0.98

00:29:36.000 General ignorance. 0.74

00:29:37.000 It's not their jobs to be journalists, you know?

00:29:39.000 I don't blame every single person for just not knowing.

00:29:42.000 Some people, look, you work your 9 to 5, you go home, you want to be with your kids, you want to play maybe throw a football a little bit.

00:29:48.000 You don't got time to sit down and read all this stuff.

00:29:50.000 Yeah.

00:29:50.000 But I will blame the mainstream press to a great degree.

00:29:54.000 Let me pull up this story we got from Fox News.

00:29:57.000 CNN's Jim Acosta compares Virginia to Soviet-style police state under Glenn Youngkin.

00:30:04.000 Critics took to social media to blast Acosta's comparison, calling it a bridge too far and evil.

00:30:09.000 Well, as you all may not be aware, Jim Acosta is doing some show on CNN called Democracy in Peril.

00:30:15.000 I think it's funny that Glenn Youngkin only just got into office.

00:30:18.000 There's no Soviet-style police state of anything.

00:30:21.000 Barely anything's happening.

00:30:23.000 Meanwhile, in D.C., you need to show your papers to get into a restaurant.

00:30:26.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:26.000 But not to vote.

00:30:28.000 But not to vote.

00:30:29.000 So the question, what exactly does it cost to think the parallel is here?

00:30:33.000 He's lying.

00:30:34.000 Yeah.

00:30:34.000 And I don't know if he's in New York or Atlanta or D.C., but in our nation's capital,

00:30:40.000 if you want to visit the capital and protest, it's more difficult to do so,

00:30:45.000 especially if you're not vaccinated.

00:30:47.000 If you want to communicate with your elected representatives, it's nearly impossible to do so.

00:30:51.000 We have that rump committee threatening and talking about throwing out hundreds of members of Congress because they opposed uh... the uh... uh... they were involved in the election

00:31:03.000 disputes you have the justice department talking about

00:31:06.000 investigating thousands of people because they were opposed to the election disputes

00:31:10.000 that's the soviet style approach to governance. You see joe walsh on

00:31:14.000 twitter I know he is, I didn't see him

00:31:17.000 He said anybody who tries to put forth a fake group of electors should be investigated or blah blah blah.

00:31:25.000 Which Democrats did in 1960 via Hawaii.

00:31:28.000 That's right.

00:31:29.000 So they made up a fake story.

00:31:31.000 Rachel Maddow talks about it.

00:31:32.000 She's like, I've discovered forgery documents. 0.90

00:31:36.000 Shut up, they're not forgeries.

00:31:38.000 What happened was, when the election was being contested, whatever your opinion is, is not the point, Republicans said, we are going to fill out the forms, the same as the Democrats were, and we're going to submit them. 0.86

00:31:50.000 And sure enough, when the official electors came in and were certified for the Democrats, they went and Pence chose them.

00:31:56.000 It was 1960, I believe, right?

00:31:58.000 Nixon versus Kennedy.

00:32:00.000 Hawaii certified Republican electors, but the Democrats decided to go and fill out their own forms anyway.

00:32:08.000 Lo and behold, the courts ruled in their favor.

00:32:11.000 So when the uncertified Democrat electors went to the joint session of Congress, Nixon said, we know what happened, the courts have ruled, so I'm going to pick these anyway.

00:32:21.000 Imagine that.

00:32:22.000 It's historical precedent.

00:32:23.000 But now you've got these people lying about it.

00:32:26.000 And this is why I say the culture war is between people who know and people who don't know.

00:32:31.000 Because if you've read... I read about that stuff in 1960, years ago, with Nixon.

00:32:36.000 I was reading it years ago and, you know, with the midterm elections or whatever.

00:32:39.000 And so when all this stuff comes up, I'm like, oh yeah, they just did what happened in 1960.

00:32:42.000 But, you know, the media lies about it.

00:32:44.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:32:45.000 I mean, in my view, there's a special place in hell for politicians who want to put their political opponents in jail.

00:32:53.000 I mean, to me, that is a particularly grave evil.

00:32:56.000 Should be a special place in jail for them, too.

00:32:57.000 Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton should be in jail.

00:32:59.000 Well, he said she should be prosecuted, and he didn't want to put her in jail because he didn't like her politics.

00:33:09.000 He thought she committed crimes.

00:33:11.000 Here you have the leftist saying, oh, participating under the First Amendment in a rally is an evidence of a crime.

00:33:18.000 Participating under the constitutional system to challenge electors and federal law to challenge electors that we've done since time immemorial.

00:33:26.000 That all of a sudden is a crime.

00:33:28.000 Right.

00:33:28.000 It's more pernicious than that.

00:33:30.000 It's one thing to say, I think this person committed a crime.

00:33:33.000 She stole all her emails.

00:33:34.000 I mean, we were involved in that. 1.00

00:33:35.000 It's another thing to say, I don't like your politics and you should be censored and you're a criminal and a terrorist. 0.90

00:33:41.000 That's what they're saying in a casual way. 0.96

00:33:44.000 Yeah.

00:33:45.000 Also, I want to mention this.

00:33:46.000 I mean, the Clinton campaign wanted to have U.S. 1.00

00:33:50.000 intelligence officials brief the Electoral College on Russian interference in order to sway them.

00:33:56.000 So, I mean, they have absolutely no respect for the system or ensuring that the electorate or those in the Electoral College select those who were voted for.

00:34:04.000 We went through five years Yeah.

00:34:08.000 Technically now it's seven years, but I was, you know, before in 2020 had been five years of lies about Russia and Ukraine and all of that manipulation.

00:34:17.000 You want to talk?

00:34:18.000 Hey, Jim, Jim.

00:34:20.000 You want to talk about Soviet-style police state?

00:34:23.000 Let's talk about how some dude who works for the CIA accuses the president of some nonsense, and the people of this country can't even say his name.

00:34:31.000 Please don't say his name.

00:34:32.000 Because we can't.

00:34:33.000 Because you want to know who's enforcing the Soviet-style police state?

00:34:37.000 It is the democratic establishment.

00:34:39.000 It is the media.

00:34:40.000 It's social media.

00:34:41.000 If we say the name of this guy, YouTube will take the stream down.

00:34:43.000 Well, and that's exactly the thing.

00:34:45.000 So I think the best way to summarize a Soviet-style system and the parallels in America are as follows.

00:34:51.000 In 2016, it was alleged that the election was fraudulent.

00:34:55.000 And in that instance, we investigated those who were elected.

00:35:00.000 In 2020, it was also alleged that the election was fraudulent.

00:35:03.000 This time, we investigated the people making the accusation.

00:35:06.000 Yeah.

00:35:07.000 Well, the left hasn't done this since 68, they thought Nixon stole the election. 0.61

00:35:12.000 They had secret negotiations with Vietnam.

00:35:15.000 72, he overwhelmingly won, so the left used Watergate to re-litigate.

00:35:19.000 He cheated his way in.

00:35:22.000 1980, Reagan had secret talks with Iran.

00:35:23.000 His election was invalid.

00:35:26.000 I saw this.

00:35:27.000 I think Snopes tried doing a fact check on it, but it said something like, every election since 1968, the Democrats have claimed has been stolen.

00:35:34.000 Is that?

00:35:35.000 Well, it's 2000.

00:35:38.000 I was down counting ballots in 2000.

00:35:40.000 Wow.

00:35:40.000 Warren was running around trying to change the results.

00:35:43.000 and then now we're in 2016 with Trump. They tried to change the results.

00:35:55.000 I'm just, I'm just tired of it.

00:35:57.000 I gotta be honest, I'm tired of it with the Trump supporters, to be honest.

00:36:00.000 I'm tired of it.

00:36:01.000 I've been tired of it from before this.

00:36:04.000 It's just, look, I just want to get to the point where we move forward.

00:36:10.000 But I think we need to understand at this point, 2016, 2020, 2068, whatever year, I don't care.

00:36:17.000 Nobody's playing by the rules anymore. And I mean that figuratively and somewhat literally.

00:36:23.000 What I mean is it's like, you know, Walsh on Twitter being like, we should lock up the people who forged these documents, but they didn't.

00:36:29.000 That's a lie.

00:36:30.000 When they subpoena Alex Jones, these subpoenas from the January 6th committee, we had, I think Bannon may have told us this, expensive.

00:36:38.000 You can't just get subpoenaed and be like, okay, tell me where to go.

00:36:43.000 It's $15,000 to look at it.

00:36:45.000 Just to look at it.

00:36:46.000 Yep.

00:36:47.000 And so what they're doing is they're draining resources.

00:36:49.000 They're using the power of the federal government to suppress to shut down dissidents.

00:36:56.000 The weight of the government is going after political rivals in a way Donald Trump never did.

00:37:01.000 The man talked big and said to Hillary, oh, you'd be in jail, and then did nothing.

00:37:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:06.000 He did nothing.

00:37:06.000 Did you see the Politico story the other day that confirmed or showed that the Capitol Hill Police Department, which answers now to Pelosi and Schumer, Pelosi is the queen of the hill when it comes to security, is gathering intelligence on members under the guise of security, investigating where they're going, who they're meeting with.

00:37:23.000 Donors and staff.

00:37:25.000 So you've got this unholy melding of a police force with a political party.

00:37:31.000 I bet that they're thinking if we don't observe and spy on everyone, the Chinese CCP is going to do it. 0.85

00:37:37.000 So we have to take we have to be the ultimate spy network.

00:37:40.000 I think that's the mentality.

00:37:41.000 Well, many of them are on the payroll.

00:37:44.000 Oh, so it's bigger than the governments and it's more of a multinational coercive.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, I would get down with that.

00:37:49.000 I do think we're winning.

00:37:51.000 You know, like the raid on James O'Keefe.

00:37:55.000 It just shows you how completely desperate the establishment is to maintain their power.

00:38:01.000 No, that was a wild abuse of power.

00:38:04.000 And we just got documents last week.

00:38:06.000 I don't know if you saw.

00:38:07.000 That's right.

00:38:08.000 The Pfizer stuff.

00:38:08.000 I mean, was James talking about, was he on with you recently talking about it?

00:38:12.000 He was on, but I don't think we talked about it.

00:38:14.000 I think it was like right afterwards.

00:38:15.000 This was fun because sometimes when they tell you no, you learn something.

00:38:20.000 So we asked the FBI, give us records about communications with Pfizer about Project Veritas.

00:38:26.000 And they said, we can't give you those because they're in an investigative file.

00:38:32.000 Confirming their existence.

00:38:33.000 Normally they don't confirm it, so it was kind of an odd response.

00:38:37.000 So they've confirmed that Pfizer is working with the FBI somehow to target Project Veritas, who had, for those who don't know, had done some exposés on fetal stem cells, fetal cells being involved, or fetal organs being involved in the creation and helping guarantee the safety of vaccines.

00:38:59.000 Things that they didn't want out there.

00:39:01.000 Which are true, but they don't like it out there because people get upset about it.

00:39:05.000 But that's just the Veritas thing is a really good example of the desperation to be to be that overt with their strategies to go against American journalists.

00:39:14.000 It just shows to use the metaphor we've used nonstop for the past two weeks.

00:39:18.000 The emperor has no clothes, but they had they had power for a long time and it's it's it's being ripped from them.

00:39:23.000 I think the Internet is what's causing it.

00:39:26.000 Yeah.

00:39:26.000 Well, it's just at this point, imagine trusting a journalist who the entire system isn't trying to crush.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, when any news channel that puts on Adam Schiff, I'm just immediately like, okay, it's fake news.

00:39:37.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:39:38.000 Nancy Pelosi too. 0.98

00:39:39.000 Lapdogs.

00:39:40.000 I mean, I think it's fair to bring those people on if you're adversarial.

00:39:43.000 If you want to make fun of them, you know.

00:39:46.000 I don't know.

00:39:47.000 I'm all big part of like ban the account, not the person.

00:39:49.000 I don't think that just because someone has a track record of lying that they're necessarily lying.

00:39:54.000 So I don't want to discount these people flat out.

00:39:56.000 I understand that there's maybe it's more of a variant scale and maybe someone that lies a lot is like maybe a 7% weight to their statement, but that's still 7%.

00:40:04.000 I don't know, man.

00:40:05.000 So you're right that it is technically possible for somebody to lie about something and then tell the truth later on, but a person loses their credibility.

00:40:12.000 And honestly, there are so many people trying to compete for our bandwidth that I have no interest in giving my attention to someone who I know has lied before.

00:40:19.000 You know, with politics, I don't really care whether someone lies too much in politics.

00:40:25.000 I mean, it's a problem, you know, morally.

00:40:26.000 It's objectionable as a voter.

00:40:28.000 It's the corruption that bothers me.

00:40:31.000 Adam Schiff abused his power to take the phone records of Rudy Giuliani and publish them.

00:40:38.000 And then we go to court trying to get the records, and part of their argument was, we can do that, we don't need a court authorization to do it.

00:40:45.000 So right now we know that they're taking the phone records of people, and who knows, internet records of potentially, I don't know, millions of people, the way they're wording these requests.

00:40:54.000 Yeah.

00:40:54.000 And there's no control or policing of it.

00:40:56.000 Yeah. You know that's an abuse of power.

00:40:58.000 That's corrupt.

00:40:59.000 It's not even they're even using subpoenas anymore.

00:41:02.000 They're just requesting the information.

00:41:03.000 So if you're if you were a supporter of Trump online and made comments on election and you had your account deleted

00:41:11.000 or censored.

00:41:12.000 That's the sort of stuff the Congress is asking for information on.

00:41:15.000 I mean, do you want that in the hands of Congress or Adam Schiff?

00:41:19.000 These are, like I keep on saying, these are—our republic is under assault.

00:41:25.000 And this isn't political differences.

00:41:27.000 This is a question of whether or not we're going to follow the law and we're going to follow the infrastructure the Constitution has laid out for us and how we govern ourselves.

00:41:36.000 Or whether the bad guys are just going to break all the rules to go after their enemies.

00:41:39.000 They changed the law.

00:41:40.000 The Patriot Act's insane.

00:41:42.000 But they made that legal so that now they can legally just take all the records legally, even though it's still corrupt.

00:41:48.000 Well, yeah, I mean, the FBI hasn't backed off from their targeting of parents as terrorists.

00:41:52.000 I mean, there was controversy about it, but they're still doing it.

00:41:55.000 Yeah.

00:41:57.000 Let's talk about this story we got here from TimCast.com.

00:41:59.000 Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to retire.

00:42:02.000 The justice and the Biden administration have not yet released a formal statement.

00:42:06.000 Jen Psaki did say, you know, it's the prerogative of the justice to retire when they feel like it.

00:42:11.000 But, I mean, that's the story.

00:42:13.000 Stephen Breyer is going to stay until the end of the term, which just is... When is that ending?

00:42:17.000 Is that ending in October?

00:42:18.000 I mean, they usually end the term in June, sometimes July, but normally all the decisions are done by the end of June.

00:42:25.000 Oh, okay.

00:42:25.000 June.

00:42:26.000 June.

00:42:26.000 Yeah.

00:42:26.000 All right.

00:42:27.000 So, um, seems to me that Breyer, who is considered a liberal justice, they're doing this because they think they're going to be losing the midterms.

00:42:36.000 Yeah, they forced Breyer out.

00:42:38.000 The left had this really unprecedented campaign to pressure Breyer to retire.

00:42:45.000 I guess there's another campaign to pressure Biden to retire, too.

00:42:48.000 That's coming from all sides, to be honest.

00:42:51.000 And Breyer had some interviews late last year.

00:42:55.000 He was out, I think, selling a book, or he was being interviewed.

00:42:58.000 And it was pretty clear he had no interest in retiring.

00:43:00.000 And something changed, and they pressured him, and he left.

00:43:02.000 They bullied him off the court.

00:43:05.000 And you can bet the left that bullied a sitting Supreme Court justice off the court is going to demand that Biden appoint an extremist to replace him, not a normal liberal, someone who's extreme.

00:43:18.000 And so that's going to be the battle.

00:43:20.000 And, you know, technically, the Senate can get someone passed for Biden or confirmed by Biden if they get 50 plus one vote.

00:43:28.000 And we'll see what happens.

00:43:29.000 And Kamala would be the tiebreaker, I'd imagine.

00:43:32.000 Unless she's the nominee.

00:43:34.000 But then Lindsey Graham would vote for her. 0.95

00:43:39.000 Lindsey Graham has voted for most of the judges put forward by Biden, at least in committee.

00:43:46.000 Like you were saying, how cancel culture can whip up a frenzy so quick now.

00:43:49.000 It's like things can happen so fast that having someone in power for 50 years as a Supreme Court justice is too dangerous.

00:43:56.000 It doesn't make any sense anymore.

00:43:58.000 I think we need term limits.

00:43:59.000 Otherwise, we're going to get a 38-year-old or 42-year-old that's going to think they're going to be in power for 50 years and then I don't know.

00:44:06.000 You know, I thought about this.

00:44:07.000 It's an interesting question that, you know, should we have a time limit for justices or should it be a lifetime appointment?

00:44:12.000 There's pros and cons.

00:44:13.000 I do like the idea that, you know, when someone gets appointed, it kind of puts a pin in the cultural perspective and says like, you know, this person, he's 45, he's going to be a justice and he's going to be there for 40 years.

00:44:25.000 It kind of helps.

00:44:26.000 I think it's a stabilizing force.

00:44:28.000 The detriment, however, is you get someone like, you know, we had that Supreme Court justice who was on his, you know, he was partially comatose or whatever, and he was just like shaking in his bed, and they were like, what do we do?

00:44:38.000 He's a lifetime appointment, so.

00:44:39.000 Right.

00:44:40.000 But I don't know, what do you think?

00:44:41.000 You think we should boot him out at a certain age or something, or?

00:44:43.000 You know, I'm sympathetic to that.

00:44:46.000 I think the chief concern is the quality of the judge and his judicial philosophy.

00:44:52.000 So having a judicial supremacist on the court who wants to steal our liberty and steal our self-governance and govern from the bench, if he's on the court for a year, that doesn't do us any good.

00:45:02.000 If he's on the court for 10 years, it doesn't do any good.

00:45:04.000 But to have someone who defers to the Constitution and applies it as written and originally understood, you know, having them on the court for 30 years is fine.

00:45:14.000 The question is, what is the role of the court in our constitutional system?

00:45:17.000 And it is that it's outsized.

00:45:20.000 You know, we shouldn't be waiting with bated breath about how we're going to govern ourselves on these core issues every June.

00:45:27.000 What's the court going to rule?

00:45:29.000 You know, the court is one branch of our government.

00:45:32.000 And I'm against judicial supremacy.

00:45:35.000 And that should be the big fight.

00:45:37.000 And I would expect that finally, at least Republicans who share those views, you know, we can't be approving judges just because the president deserves his justice.

00:45:46.000 No, no, no.

00:45:47.000 The people deserve to have their rights protected and not violated.

00:45:51.000 by justices who think they know better than elected representatives.

00:45:54.000 Amen.

00:45:55.000 There's several laws and there's several rulings you go back that just seem to be outright wrong

00:46:01.000 just on the face. I think, well, I'll throw this one to you, Seamus, Roe v. Wade.

00:46:09.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:46:09.000 Because the big argument is that it should be a legislative issue, not a court issue.

00:46:15.000 The court shouldn't be legislating, right?

00:46:17.000 So break this down for me, though.

00:46:19.000 I'm just trying to highlight the issue without getting too political on it.

00:46:23.000 But the big argument that we heard from, you know, Kavanaugh, I think Clarence Thomas, when they were arguing the Mississippi abortion law, they were like, why is this a court issue and not a legislative issue?

00:46:35.000 Well, when you read, and I encourage people to read Supreme Court opinions because they're generally written for public consumption.

00:46:41.000 And if you're, you know, literate, you can understand them.

00:46:44.000 And the left is exposed when their arguments are laid out there.

00:46:48.000 And when you read Roe versus Wade, you see it's written like a piece of legislation.

00:46:53.000 It's a perfect example of legislating from the bench.

00:46:56.000 And it's not appropriate.

00:46:58.000 Abortion has been regulated by the states, you know, for most of modern history, you know, until, you know, certainly once law, Once they started talking about abortion, they were regulating and restricting it.

00:47:09.000 I know there's arguments about the history.

00:47:11.000 But it was a medical procedure, and it was regulated, and there was no federal jurisdiction over making sure that abortion was in the—protecting the abortion right.

00:47:20.000 It's not part of the Constitution.

00:47:22.000 And so you had the courts, certain courts in the Supreme Court, justices who agreed that women should have the right to abortion.

00:47:32.000 And then they mistook their policy preference for what the Constitution requires.

00:47:37.000 And I talked about, you know, I remember seeing Judge Bork, you know, lose his nomination.

00:47:43.000 And he wrote a book, he called it The Tempting of America, and the great temptation for judges is to get on the bench and impose your political views and call it jurisprudence.

00:47:56.000 So one day after the show here, a while ago, now almost a year and a half ago, one of our friends back at the old studio, Nishra, who's Adam's wife, We're all hanging out in the kitchen and she's from Sweden.

00:48:10.000 So she says, I have a question.

00:48:13.000 Your constitution, it says the right to keep in bare arms shall not be infringed.

00:48:17.000 And I'm like, right.

00:48:18.000 And she's like, well, why are they banning guns?

00:48:21.000 And everyone starts laughing.

00:48:22.000 Just because it's like someone who doesn't live in this country could clearly see how broken the system is and that it makes no sense.

00:48:29.000 And we all laugh because we know.

00:48:31.000 We know that legislating from the bench And not the courts not properly ruling on our rights.

00:48:40.000 It happens all the time.

00:48:42.000 The system just seems...

00:48:45.000 It feels like we started with a good foundation, and now it's just like this wonky Jenga tower of random blocks stuck in places because people wanted to, you know, get something for themselves.

00:48:54.000 Well, on the other hand, things are going well.

00:48:56.000 That's why the left is so upset about the Supreme Court, and they want to expand it.

00:48:59.000 You had last week, you know, you had Nina Totenberg defame and smear Judge Gorsuch. 0.93

00:49:05.000 Jane Mayer of The New Yorker went after Justice Thomas and his wife afterward.

00:49:09.000 You're going after his wife to get at Justice Thomas.

00:49:12.000 You've had this pressure campaign on Breyer.

00:49:15.000 And I keep on talking about all our institutions being under assault.

00:49:18.000 They're trying to blow up the Supreme Court with this court packing scheme so that Breyer leaving is, you know, he's a liberal.

00:49:26.000 He'll probably be replaced with a liberal.

00:49:28.000 But the goal is to pack the court and negate the conservative voices on the court that now are rising and dominating.

00:49:35.000 Yeah, I mean, I think the populist view is that Roberts is not conservative and that Kavanaugh hasn't actually done a pretty decent job or anything like that.

00:49:46.000 But I don't think they're going to replace Breyer with a liberal.

00:49:49.000 I think they're going to replace him with a Marxist or something.

00:49:53.000 Well, we'll see what Senator Manchin has to say about it.

00:49:56.000 Yeah, but I, you know, yes, Manchin and maybe Sinema because they've, they've stood, you know, they've, you know, resisted the Democratic Party's whims.

00:50:06.000 But you still have some Republicans who are going to be like, now, now, we got to be accommodating and fair.

00:50:11.000 But it's an election year.

00:50:13.000 So, so I think it will be, there's a greater chance that Republicans will be unified against a extremist nominee.

00:50:22.000 And it depends who the nominee is. 0.95

00:50:24.000 Well, Biden says it's going to be a black woman. 0.99

00:50:27.000 Well, again, so now Joe Biden has announced that no male need apply, no white person need apply.

00:50:34.000 How is that legal?

00:50:34.000 Yeah.

00:50:35.000 Can you guys, I mean, would you guys sue him over that?

00:50:36.000 I don't think you can sue him over that.

00:50:38.000 I don't think so.

00:50:39.000 But that's, I mean, it's so weird that we're at this point in this country.

00:50:42.000 I mean, I always want to sue over everything.

00:50:45.000 And the lawyers say, well, you can, but you won't succeed.

00:50:49.000 The saying is you can sue a ham sandwich.

00:50:51.000 Another world leader that was obsessed with appointing a specific kind of creature to their role was Caligula.

00:50:59.000 Who appointed the Roman emperor, the inbred Roman emperor, who appointed his horse to be a chancellor. 0.51

00:51:04.000 Wasn't it that he was insulting them?

00:51:07.000 Yeah, he was like making a mockery of the system.

00:51:09.000 This is racial identitarianism coming from our president for our Supreme Court.

00:51:15.000 Well, it was the same thing with his VP nominee, and it's hilarious because he chose Kamala Harris essentially to pander to progressives because he pigeonholed himself.

00:51:23.000 He said, I have to pick a woman of color. 1.00

00:51:25.000 And basically every progressive I know hates Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:51:28.000 So it's beautiful.

00:51:29.000 And I can only hope that they will hate his Supreme Court nominee just as much.

00:51:33.000 But of course, I'm sure that I wouldn't like them either.

00:51:36.000 The way the Democratic Party has been going in the past couple of years, I wouldn't be surprised if Biden chooses the most absurd, hated person, neoliberal establishment, and all the progressives start screaming and the Democratic senators are like, if I vote for this, I'm going to lose.

00:51:53.000 Yeah.

00:51:54.000 I mean, whoever he picks, like it is going to be horrible.

00:51:57.000 It's going to be a horrible pick.

00:51:59.000 Whoever he picks, like we're waiting for daddy to make a move. 0.97

00:52:02.000 It's so gross. 0.80

00:52:03.000 How does this one dude get to pick?

00:52:05.000 It's called the president is going to make the decision.

00:52:07.000 The Constitution gives him the right to appoint the judge.

00:52:09.000 And the Senate has to provide consent and so and advice and consent as the term is.

00:52:14.000 So there is a there is a check in place and it's going to be a close run thing.

00:52:18.000 I mean typically you know if Mitch McConnell were in the majority there'd be no doubt

00:52:24.000 the nominee would get through.

00:52:25.000 My view is Chuck Schumer's been an awful leader for the Democrats.

00:52:30.000 He's been dragged around by AOC and the left, and he's lost control of the Senate.

00:52:35.000 And so I think the president's nominee that otherwise might be able to squeak through might be stopped because of the craziness in our politics right now.

00:52:47.000 Let's talk about this story we got from the LA Times.

00:52:49.000 Trial to determine if requiring women on boards is legal.

00:52:54.000 So this is your trial.

00:52:55.000 This is a story from back in December.

00:52:57.000 But, you know, when you get a president who says the principal determinant for a Supreme

00:53:03.000 Court nominee is going to be race and gender, I'm like, that flies in the face of the civil 1.00

00:53:07.000 rights movement.

00:53:08.000 It flies in the face of what we are fighting for.

00:53:11.000 And it's what the critical race theorists want.

00:53:13.000 The cultural left or whatever.

00:53:15.000 They want your position to be determined based on identity.

00:53:20.000 So in California, what did they do?

00:53:22.000 They passed a law saying that you have to have a woman?

00:53:25.000 The legislature passed a law requiring that a certain number of seats be set aside for women. 0.90

00:53:33.000 And so that means that men can't apply for certain seats on corporate boards of directors in California.

00:53:39.000 It's outrageously illegal.

00:53:41.000 It's a violation of the California Constitution, which even has more broader protections We have four lawyers out there for six weeks fighting the government who are bringing in all these so-called experts who are pretending that it's right to require women to be on the boards and discriminate on the basis of sex. 1.00

00:54:07.000 And the argument they're using, the left's argument, is, well, it helps corporations to have more women on the boards. 1.00

00:54:13.000 You know, there's no real evidence of that.

00:54:15.000 But even if it did, it's illegal.

00:54:16.000 It's still illegal.

00:54:17.000 It's still illegal.

00:54:18.000 And but the point is, they're fighting it.

00:54:20.000 And so those of us who, when the left says they're in favor of and hate discrimination, that's the big lie of our era.

00:54:30.000 The most interesting development and troubling development is the thorough assault on anti-discrimination law in our schools and our corporations and our military and you see it now in the government that you can target people based on race or sex and discriminate against them and you'll have all the king's horses and all the king's men.

00:54:49.000 I mean we're in court suing the state of California.

00:54:53.000 Where is the Justice Department?

00:54:55.000 Where is the Justice Department?

00:54:57.000 The Civil Rights Division is harassing states for requiring voter ID, but allowing discrimination based on sex, race, and every other category to go on in California with Nary a peep.

00:55:09.000 Yeah.

00:55:10.000 Was Trump doing anything about it?

00:55:12.000 Listen, before Trump, the Justice Department under Trump was a disaster, too.

00:55:16.000 I mean, Barr had no interest in doing any of this aggressive thing.

00:55:20.000 Now, I say that knowing that he did do some good things.

00:55:23.000 But the point is, the Justice Department institutionally is a locus of evil when it comes to public policy.

00:55:29.000 And they do not believe, and this was true in the Obama administration, there was an IG report, they didn't believe the laws against racial discrimination applied to whites in voting matters.

00:55:38.000 I mean, that was the finding.

00:55:39.000 Our people who work there told us that.

00:55:42.000 Our attorneys used to work at the Justice Department.

00:55:44.000 They were told that.

00:55:46.000 We don't believe these civil rights laws apply to all people.

00:55:50.000 We had some guy on the show, I'm not going to say his name, but he was arguing very much in favor of critical race theory and stuff, and he's saying, like, you guys want to ban this stuff from schools and blah blah blah.

00:56:03.000 My response to this, simply, when Donald Trump wanted to ban the critical race theory trainings for contractors and stuff like that, and these leftists are like, I thought you supported free

00:56:12.000 speech. I'm like, oh, yeah, I do.

00:56:14.000 I do. I'm just also in favor of enforcing laws. And if it's an illegal discriminatory action based

00:56:20.000 on the civil rights law, we enforce it. Right. So you can't come to me and be like, we like the

00:56:25.000 1964 Civil Rights Act. We like these rulings. It's like, oh, well, Trump wants to enforce it.

00:56:31.000 How dare you?

00:56:33.000 We should be allowed to discriminate, but you shouldn't. 0.77

00:56:35.000 It's like that, uh, who's, who's that guy?

00:56:37.000 Was it Frank Herbert?

00:56:38.000 What was his name?

00:56:39.000 When I am weaker than you, I ask for freedom because it's according to your principles.

00:56:42.000 When, when, you know, when I'm stronger than you, I deny you your freedom because that's according to mine.

00:56:46.000 Was that Frank Herbert who said that?

00:56:47.000 I'm not sure.

00:56:48.000 You looked it up.

00:56:49.000 A similar version is.

00:56:49.000 It was?

00:56:51.000 Evil calls for tolerance until it's ascendant.

00:56:51.000 Evil.

00:56:51.000 Okay, cool.

00:56:54.000 And then it calls for submission, basically.

00:56:56.000 Well, but the left is always, you know, the left uses these arguments as a tool.

00:57:01.000 And when the tool becomes not useful, they cast it aside.

00:57:05.000 So anti-discrimination they saw as a political tool.

00:57:09.000 Now they don't like it, they cast it aside.

00:57:12.000 The Supreme Court they liked when it was Roe versus Wade, but now that they're ruling against us, oh no, we got to cast it aside.

00:57:18.000 We used to like the Senate filibuster, but now we need to eliminate the Senate on top of the Yeah, that was Colbert, he said that, right?

00:57:26.000 The Senate, so when you, you know, like I say, revolutionary moment.

00:57:30.000 Filibuster isn't the target.

00:57:32.000 The target is eliminating any impediment to power.

00:57:36.000 Yep.

00:57:37.000 Stephen Colbert goes on his show with Elizabeth Warren, I think this was a week ago, and he says, we should get rid of the Senate.

00:57:37.000 Amen.

00:57:43.000 And everyone laughs.

00:57:44.000 He's like, I'm gonna say this, hear me out, hear me out.

00:57:47.000 Why don't we abolish the Senate? 1.00

00:57:49.000 The whole audience laughs.

00:57:50.000 And he goes, I'm 100% serious. 0.99

00:57:52.000 Yeah, if you're 100% serious and your audience is laughing at you when you say it, you're insane. 0.70

00:57:56.000 Yeah, and Liz is 100% Cherokee. 0.99

00:57:59.000 He was like, actually, I'm like .0019% serious.

00:58:02.000 But no, it goes to show you how far these people have gone, because one thing that we used to say to make fun of them when they would talk about the Electoral College was that At that point, they may as well just try to abolish representative government in general.

00:58:15.000 And now they're actually doing this.

00:58:16.000 And I've also seen this with respect to the argument that's been made about gun control.

00:58:21.000 I've heard a lot of conservatives say, well, why not ban automobiles because of all the people who die in car accidents?

00:58:25.000 And now I'm actually hearing left-wing people argue that we need to shift to a national railway system.

00:58:31.000 Never presume the crazy stuff is something they oppose.

00:58:34.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:58:35.000 So it's like every single, it's like jokes that we will make to highlight the ridiculousness of their worldview tend to become positions that they actually support within a matter of years.

00:58:45.000 Authoritarianism will do that.

00:58:47.000 If their enemy makes a joke like, well, here they come, the authoritarians would be like, they gave us the green light.

00:58:52.000 Let's go.

00:58:54.000 Well, Trump was criticized for saying that, oh look, they're taking down statues of Confederates.

00:58:58.000 Are they going to take down statues of Jefferson and Washington?

00:59:01.000 I remember thinking, oh yes, they will.

00:59:03.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:59:05.000 I mean, we laugh at the craziness, but it's perfectly rational within the Marxist worldview.

00:59:12.000 And they don't find it funny, and they're perfectly willing to go to these extreme circumstances.

00:59:18.000 I mean, look, the January—I call it the Rump Committee, the January 6 Rump Committee—is a one-party committee in the House that is exercising legislative and investigative power.

00:59:28.000 Is it actually all one party?

00:59:30.000 Well, there are Republicans who answer to Nancy Pelosi, but who don't represent the minority party.

00:59:37.000 So it's a one party operation.

00:59:39.000 So how is that consistent with a Republican form of government?

00:59:44.000 No, that should be an external independent organization doing that committee.

00:59:48.000 Well, it shouldn't be.

00:59:49.000 You know, what they're investigating is their political opposition.

00:59:52.000 I mean, when you talk about the USSR, that's the playbook. 0.94

00:59:57.000 Also, speaking of the statues, do you remember when NPR did a fact-check on Trump's statement that they would eventually go after statues of people like Washington and Jefferson?

01:00:05.000 And they fact-checked his prediction before it happened, saying it was incorrect.

01:00:10.000 Don't get me started on the fact-check.

01:00:12.000 They're fantastic.

01:00:14.000 I used to think that we should get rid of the Republicanism.

01:00:18.000 I thought the House of Representatives, this was like 2007, I was talking to Mike Revell actually, he was an Alaskan Senator at the time, and I was able to communicate with him a little bit, and I thought, it's just, I saw them getting bribed, I saw the stopgap of like, only these guys get to make the laws, it just felt like they were all corrupt, I wanted it gone.

01:00:36.000 I was like, why can't we just have The Americans pass the laws into the Senate and then let the Senate be the stopgap.

01:00:41.000 Why do we need this House of Representatives anymore? 0.94

01:00:43.000 We have internet.

01:00:44.000 And Gravel was like, no, no, we need the House of Representatives.

01:00:46.000 And I was like, is he just brainwashed because he's from that system?

01:00:50.000 Or do we actually need this?

01:00:52.000 I don't know.

01:00:52.000 I don't think they should have the monopoly on lawmaking, though.

01:00:55.000 Yeah, I mean, the founders wanted kind of a, a, uh, the Republican system is, is, is, has democratic, uh, you know, democratic outlooks, but it, it, it kind of is also designed to suppress the sign of the vote by, you know, just had the popular vote be promoted directly.

01:01:17.000 So, uh, so that the passions of the moment don't result in legislation being passed.

01:01:22.000 Everyone gets angry about Joe Rogan and he gets banned.

01:01:25.000 because there's this backlash and then, oh, what happens the next day? Well, he's banned

01:01:30.000 because it was passed because they had a vote that was national that resulted in him getting

01:01:35.000 banned. You don't want to be on the wrong end of that. And when you have liberties that are

01:01:39.000 protected by law and are supposed to be protected by law at all times under a constitution,

01:01:46.000 you don't want to have those subjected to the popular passions as well. So

01:01:52.000 we have a Republican form of government with Democratic aspects and the left hates it.

01:01:57.000 We've had this conversation before, Ian, where I said, everyone in this room, all in favor of taking Ian's stuff from him?

01:02:06.000 Yeah?

01:02:07.000 Everybody?

01:02:07.000 Everybody raise your hand.

01:02:08.000 Everyone agrees?

01:02:08.000 Okay, Ian, give us your stuff.

01:02:09.000 Well, then you'd have to send it to the Senate, and the Senate would look at it and be like, what's this insane stuff?

01:02:13.000 And who is this person that tried to pass this in?

01:02:16.000 The point is, when you have direct democracy, we can just vote to take from you.

01:02:18.000 I like the Senate.

01:02:20.000 I'm just saying the House of Representatives.

01:02:22.000 I don't understand the value.

01:02:24.000 They represent the people and the Senate represents the states.

01:02:26.000 But they don't represent the people.

01:02:27.000 That's the problem.

01:02:28.000 They're supposed to... One person represents 700,000 people?

01:02:30.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:02:31.000 No, they represent their own interests.

01:02:35.000 Ian, 750,000 people.

01:02:36.000 Thank you for the update.

01:02:38.000 It's 2022.

01:02:38.000 It's a lot of people!

01:02:40.000 And they don't, and they don't.

01:02:41.000 And this is something that Colbert said when Kyrsten Sinema was like, the filibuster makes sure that legislation has to have a broad range of support.

01:02:49.000 Colbert goes, no, no.

01:02:52.000 You represent 40- he's like, the party filibustering represents 41 million less people.

01:02:58.000 Colbert thinks that the 50% or the 49% of Illinois that are Republican, or whatever the number is, just blindly agree with their senator because the election was won.

01:03:10.000 Yeah.

01:03:11.000 No, that's not how it works.

01:03:12.000 Right.

01:03:12.000 In fact, there is a great deal of Republicans in many of these blue states who are very, very, very unhappy.

01:03:17.000 So when Colbert is like, but you represent more people.

01:03:20.000 Yeah, well, those 41 million people are probably conservatives who don't like you.

01:03:24.000 Who don't agree with you.

01:03:25.000 So it's not as simple as just be like, do whatever you want when you get power.

01:03:29.000 Well, I mean, it's like this argument about the popular versus the electoral vote.

01:03:33.000 What the left does is they take numbers and apply them to a game that the numbers aren't, that are outside the game's rules.

01:03:42.000 So, oh no, the Yankees really won last year because they got more strikeouts than whoever won the World Series.

01:03:49.000 Well, that may be interesting as a matter of fact.

01:03:52.000 Exactly.

01:03:52.000 But that's not the way the game was played.

01:03:54.000 And no one played the game to get more strikeouts.

01:03:56.000 Exactly.

01:03:57.000 So no one plays the game in presidential elections to get more of the popular vote.

01:04:02.000 So it's irrelevant to analysis of who gets more votes or not.

01:04:07.000 And it's the same at the congressional level and the Senate level.

01:04:10.000 The popular vote, it's not relevant to the game.

01:04:15.000 Like it's an indication because if one team got like a hundred times more strikeouts than any other team, but they still didn't win, you might think maybe the game's being played wrong.

01:04:26.000 Well, for instance, Trump doesn't have to, Trump doesn't campaign in California.

01:04:31.000 So all that popular vote that's run up for Democrats in California is never countered because playing the game doesn't mean that Republicans don't go and ask for the popular vote.

01:04:42.000 Now if there was a popular vote contest every four years, Democrats think they'd win.

01:04:48.000 No, the game would change and Republicans would start agitating for the popular vote.

01:04:53.000 And who knows who would win?

01:04:54.000 Yeah.

01:04:55.000 Well, no, if there was a popular, if one day they said, Hey, everybody, guess what?

01:04:59.000 2024 is gonna be popular vote.

01:05:01.000 It wouldn't just change the rules of the game.

01:05:03.000 The country would be ripped apart by chaos and fighting.

01:05:06.000 Of course, the left doesn't believe in the popular vote because they want to change electoral college.

01:05:10.000 So let's say that Texas Right.

01:05:12.000 majority for Trump but the majority of electors are voting for Biden or the

01:05:19.000 popular vote is different in other states, Texas has to ignore their popular

01:05:23.000 vote. It's all a game. And I prefer the game the founders set out

01:05:28.000 for us rather than the game the left is trying to come up with now.

01:05:32.000 So the first time I ever voted was in Cook County.

01:05:35.000 How many times did you vote?

01:05:38.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:05:38.000 Only once, believe it or not.

01:05:40.000 But I don't question the legitimacy of Cook County elections.

01:05:43.000 I will say this.

01:05:44.000 I remember feeling like it was a protest vote because it's just such a deep blue county and Illinois is such a blue state that I didn't think it was going to have any effect.

01:05:52.000 So I voted for who I wanted to, but I recognized it probably wasn't going to have an effect.

01:05:55.000 And I knew a lot of people who didn't vote, a lot of conservatives who didn't vote, because they knew the state was going to go blue.

01:06:01.000 You're right that if we did change to a system that was purely based on the popular vote, there actually is a chance that the Republicans would win because a lot of people who are disillusioned by the politics of their local municipality or state would start voting.

01:06:16.000 That said, I agree with you.

01:06:17.000 It would not be an improvement.

01:06:20.000 I want to talk to you guys about the leftists in this country.

01:06:24.000 We'll segue into that.

01:06:24.000 We got this story from Mashable.

01:06:26.000 Oh man.

01:06:27.000 Anti-work subreddit goes private after rough Fox News interview.

01:06:31.000 Yikes, saith Mashable.

01:06:33.000 I would like to introduce you to a subreddit called Anti-Work.

01:06:37.000 My understanding, after some cursory research, is that the point of this forum was people who thought no one should have to have a job.

01:06:46.000 You should be allowed to get food, shelter, and whatever given to you without doing any work.

01:06:51.000 It started to grow rapidly.

01:06:52.000 1.7 million followers of this subreddit, this forum.

01:06:56.000 It quickly changed, however, into a work reform, where it was like, hey, we just want rights.

01:07:02.000 We want to do work, but we got to get paid better.

01:07:05.000 Now, ultimately, I think this message is co-opted by the left, and that's what poisoned it.

01:07:09.000 But here's what happens.

01:07:11.000 Fox News reaches out to interview someone from the forum of 1.7 million people who don't wanna work,

01:07:18.000 or who don't like working.

01:07:19.000 And so this is what I read.

01:07:21.000 Basically, they all held a poll where they said, "'Okay, should we do this?'

01:07:26.000 Everyone voted.

01:07:27.000 The majority said, "'Do not go on Fox News.'"

01:07:29.000 Oh boy.

01:07:30.000 One of the moderators decided to go on Fox News anyway.

01:07:32.000 It was a autistic non-binary individual, I believe, who appeared on Fox News, wouldn't look directly 0.99

01:07:40.000 into the camera, and was shying away in a messy room with an inarticulate message that seemed wishy-washy,

01:07:46.000 saying things like, "'I have to walk dogs 25 hours a week,

01:07:50.000 and I shouldn't have to do that to be able to eat and survive.'" 0.84

01:07:53.000 And I think probably that was more articulate than the person was.

01:07:56.000 This caused brigading, people rushing into the subreddit, and then ultimately it shut down.

01:08:02.000 Now they're saying they may come back, but what I find fascinating in this whole story,

01:08:05.000 the anti-work movement, the rapid explosive spread for Fox News covered this from, you know, only a year ago to, you know, tens of thousands of followers to 1.7 million.

01:08:18.000 You go to the subreddit and these are people who are outright saying, you know, I shouldn't have to have a job.

01:08:23.000 This is the mentality of the modern left.

01:08:25.000 So I'll warn, I will first say, A lot of the work reform arguments from many of these people, many of them leftist, I completely agree with.

01:08:32.000 Someone takes out $20,000 in school loans, now they owe $100,000 because of interest, and I'm like, okay, that I can understand is a problem.

01:08:38.000 Agreed.

01:08:39.000 If you take out a loan for $20,000 and there's some interest on it, I can recognize, you know, you gotta pay it back, and you gotta pay back the interest, but when it's massive, and that's for a lot of people, then I'm basically like, yo, the system is corrupt, we gotta shut that down.

01:08:50.000 I can respect that.

01:08:51.000 But when you come out and say things like, and, I shouldn't have to do any work.

01:08:56.000 I should just get stuff.

01:08:58.000 I'm like, which slave, you know, will you be, which person will you be enslaving, which group of people, in order to have them do the work to make your food?

01:09:05.000 Because food doesn't come from nowhere.

01:09:08.000 I mean, even when it grows on the trees, someone's still gotta go get it for you.

01:09:11.000 Exactly.

01:09:12.000 No such thing as free lunch.

01:09:13.000 And every single thing you have that you didn't work for, somebody worked for without having.

01:09:17.000 And sometimes that's fine because it's voluntary.

01:09:18.000 Somebody gave the charity, they wanted to help you.

01:09:20.000 And then sometimes that's not fine because it was forcibly taken from the person when you yourself could have been earning money.

01:09:26.000 It's interesting how our conception of work has changed.

01:09:30.000 Over the past hundred years, maybe even just the past 50 years.

01:09:33.000 But people used to see their job as something that gave them meaning.

01:09:36.000 And they no longer do.

01:09:37.000 And there are a lot of reasons for that.

01:09:38.000 And I'm not just blaming workers themselves for having this attitude.

01:09:41.000 I think in many respects the working class are not treated well.

01:09:44.000 I don't think the left has done a great job representing them historically.

01:09:47.000 And I think that they need people who are willing to fight for them who actually have some level of contact with them and don't despise them and their values, which they don't right now.

01:09:56.000 But...

01:09:58.000 Ultimately, people used to conceive of their work as that which they contributed, and that which they were adding.

01:10:04.000 And now we have this idea that there are certain jobs that are worth doing, because what is being done at those jobs is valuable, and then basically every other job is pointless, and it's humiliating to have to do it.

01:10:14.000 But the reality is, there's dignity in all work.

01:10:16.000 And yes, workers should be treated with more dignity.

01:10:19.000 I agree with that completely, but the idea that, well, there are just certain jobs nobody should have to do is absurd, because all of those jobs need doing.

01:10:25.000 So what you should be saying is, respect the people doing it.

01:10:28.000 You shouldn't be saying, I shouldn't have to work to survive.

01:10:31.000 There's a meme that I saw that I think sums up a lot of the culture war.

01:10:31.000 It's insane.

01:10:35.000 My brother posted it.

01:10:37.000 It said, people who are unvaccinated and oppose the vaccines don't want you to get it because they're scared you could die.

01:10:44.000 The people who are vaccinated and want you to get it are scared they could die.

01:10:50.000 And regardless of the vaccine opinion, I'm not asserting anything about vaccines.

01:10:53.000 It's just a meme.

01:10:55.000 It's just interesting that there's this perspective of, oh no, I don't want you to be hurt.

01:11:00.000 And the other perspective is you better do this so I don't get hurt.

01:11:03.000 I bring that up because, and always talk to your doctor about private medical decisions, but I bring this up in this context because what I see often from the left and like the anti-work community is, I shouldn't have to work and I should get stuff.

01:11:16.000 And then my attitude is, let me make as much stuff as possible and then help others with that stuff I have.

01:11:21.000 Exactly.

01:11:22.000 It's so weird, isn't it?

01:11:24.000 And so I think historically, and again, it's like, this is easy for me to say, right?

01:11:24.000 Yeah.

01:11:28.000 Because I started a small business when I was 18 years old.

01:11:30.000 It turned out to be very successful.

01:11:31.000 I get to do something that's difficult at times, but that I genuinely love doing.

01:11:35.000 And there are a lot of people who have jobs that are very difficult.

01:11:37.000 They're not in the position that I'm in.

01:11:40.000 And so I totally understand that.

01:11:42.000 But at the same time, I'll hear people say things like, you know, I have to work for 40 hours a week.

01:11:46.000 That's unnatural.

01:11:47.000 In the past, people used to take pride in the fact that they were spending that amount of time contributing.

01:11:53.000 Right.

01:11:54.000 The problem now is in this job economy that we've found ourselves in when the Federal Reserve loves this.

01:11:58.000 They want two people and they're like, I don't have a job.

01:12:00.000 What do I do?

01:12:01.000 The Federal Reserve will be like, well, we have an idea or whoever is in control.

01:12:05.000 You dig a hole and then you come over and fill that hole back up once it's dug.

01:12:09.000 And we'll print $100,000 and then we'll give you $50,000 and you $50,000.

01:12:13.000 But you're going to have to start paying us interest back on that $100,000.

01:12:17.000 So they win.

01:12:18.000 The more money they can give out, the more win they get.

01:12:20.000 So people are aware.

01:12:22.000 They've awakened to the pointlessness of a lot of these jobs.

01:12:25.000 Now, when you define work, that's a scientific word.

01:12:28.000 That means it's an energy transfer in joules.

01:12:30.000 It can be measured.

01:12:31.000 We're working right now.

01:12:33.000 If you're thinking you're producing work, what is the work?

01:12:36.000 Is it contributing to society?

01:12:38.000 That's so important.

01:12:39.000 And that's really important because you sort of mentioned these work projects and I've heard people discuss this idea that yeah in times of economic downturn what we should be doing is creating these jobs that we don't actually need so that we can get people back in the workforce.

01:12:50.000 And what that fails to take into account is that the purpose of a job Isn't simply so that somebody can have something to do all day.

01:12:57.000 The purpose of a job is to find a way for a person to be able to contribute to society at large.

01:13:02.000 And it goes back to what we were discussing earlier with these discriminatory practices of only wanting to hire someone on the basis of their sex or skin color because what you're basically saying at that point is we're not interested in whether you're qualified for the position because the position doesn't exist for the people you're supposed to serve in that role.

01:13:20.000 The position exists for you to feel special because you have that position.

01:13:24.000 That is how we view work nowadays.

01:13:26.000 I'm just going to leapfrog so much of this conversation because in my mind, I'm just

01:13:30.000 like hopscotching through all the points at church.

01:13:33.000 That's where it ends up, church.

01:13:35.000 It's exactly.

01:13:36.000 Community.

01:13:37.000 People have no purpose.

01:13:38.000 Yeah.

01:13:39.000 They have no purpose.

01:13:40.000 So when they're complaining about work, it's because these jobs aren't fulfilling to them.

01:13:43.000 They feel like they're wasting their time, their lives, and their energy, and they want

01:13:46.000 to do something else, but they don't have anything else either, so they get ideological.

01:13:50.000 I'm not saying...

01:13:51.000 So I just want to clarify, too.

01:13:52.000 I'm not an overtly religious person, but my point is that when there was church, there

01:13:57.000 was community, and there was purpose for people.

01:14:00.000 And that's what people are lacking now that we're an increasingly secular country.

01:14:04.000 Exactly.

01:14:04.000 And I'll add this and also clarify in case there's any doubt about this here.

01:14:08.000 As I mentioned earlier, I think the working class does need to be treated better.

01:14:11.000 I think there are so many jobs that we view as indignant or beneath people and they're not.

01:14:16.000 And part of the way we change that is we really need to admire the people who do those jobs because they're really important.

01:14:22.000 And church is important here because as a Roman Catholic, at basically every church that I've been to in my adult life, and particularly the Latin Mass that I've attended for the past few years, there is an intersection of so many different people from various economic classes and standings I don't think people have that anymore because they don't

01:14:44.000 have religion when I think about the friends that I've made through through my

01:14:47.000 Church and my primary friend group basically all from different income brackets. I can't think of any other

01:14:52.000 social organization I'm a part of where that's the case public school and but I

01:14:56.000 think you know But I think but part of why I think that's really helpful

01:14:58.000 is because it does put you in touch with like I'm I'm not Only if I wasn't going to that church if that wasn't my

01:15:05.000 faith community there I might only be in touch with other people working in

01:15:08.000 artistic fields or doing politics on the internet But instead, I'm in touch with people who are plumbers or, you know, painters, artists of a different variety, or work for a union.

01:15:19.000 We should create an award ceremony for trade jobs.

01:15:23.000 So that we can highlight, I'm half kidding, but you know, we as a society, we sports athletes, celebrities, they get all of the attention we have to give.

01:15:32.000 And then the people who are actually making this country work don't get any of it.

01:15:35.000 And it's, I think there's a spiritual component, you're right to say that.

01:15:38.000 But I also think there's this elitism as well, that work is beneath me.

01:15:43.000 Yes.

01:15:43.000 That I shouldn't have to do this.

01:15:45.000 And one of the arguments that's always bothered me about immigration and legal immigration, it's like, They do the jobs that Americans won't do. 0.80

01:15:52.000 I hear you.

01:15:53.000 I'm like, well, first of all, there's virtually no industry where immigrants are the majority.

01:16:00.000 And so Americans are doing these jobs, and they're not beneath anybody to do.

01:16:05.000 In fact, many of our parents and grandparents did jobs like this as well, and it wasn't beneath them.

01:16:11.000 And they recognized that the work and the money they earned from that help provide for their families, which was the most important thing in the world.

01:16:21.000 So they're elitist, they're torn from the world, from the community, as you talk about spiritually, and there's this leftist contempt generally for the concept of work.

01:16:31.000 You go to the anti-work subreddit, what do you see?

01:16:34.000 Their related subreddits are socialist, communist, anarchist, leftist anarchist.

01:16:39.000 You look at the related subreddits, work reform, the communist fist is their symbol.

01:16:44.000 It's remarkable, this ideology that infects these forums, when the issue is more to do with what you can contribute, just doing hard work, rolling up your sleeves.

01:16:57.000 It's not about anybody else.

01:16:58.000 It's not about a grand ideology.

01:16:59.000 It's not about someone ripping you off.

01:17:00.000 It's about you valuing your life, your time, your energy, and what you do.

01:17:05.000 But all of them just get infected by leftist ideology, then in comes the cultural leftist ideology, and then they implode on themselves.

01:17:12.000 Well, you know, this idea that there are jobs that Americans are unwilling to do. 0.97

01:17:15.000 I mean, this is a country where we have, you know, abortionists, pornographers, prostitutes. 1.00

01:17:19.000 The idea that there are just these jobs that are so far beneath the dignity of Americans and what they're willing to accept is ridiculous. 0.55

01:17:25.000 It is the case that there are certain wages an American will not work for, and that is why they want to import people to do those jobs. 0.99

01:17:31.000 Here's the big problem with the leftist ideology in these subreddits is that they're doing nothing to stop the mass wave of illegal immigration.

01:17:38.000 That's right.

01:17:38.000 And so they're wondering why it is you bring up those wages they won't work for.

01:17:42.000 Well, when you bring in where we have two million people entering this country without any sense of where they would go and how they will survive, all of a sudden now, these college kids who are looking for entry-level positions, you're not going to get out of college and go work for a firm.

01:17:59.000 You're gonna get out of college and go work for a Starbucks while you try to figure things out, maybe find an internship.

01:18:04.000 But you're not gonna be able to do that either.

01:18:06.000 Because now, all of a sudden, you're walking up and you're seeing a huge line of people who want work.

01:18:11.000 So all of these entry-level positions, they say, the minimum wage should be $15 an hour.

01:18:17.000 It would be if the supply of low-skill labor was reduced. 0.94

01:18:21.000 Well, you know, the unions used to be opposed to mass immigration.

01:18:24.000 If there were well-run unions who were creative, they'd be saying, Okay, well if we're going to have a government program that depresses wages, meaning mass immigration, well we have to make up for that with, as you point out, with an increase in the minimum wage.

01:18:41.000 So big corporations, you can get your immigrants, but we get on our side, because we're subsidizing your labor costs with a government program, we get to ensure that our employees and union members get increased wages.

01:18:55.000 It's a major issue.

01:18:57.000 What if you raised the minimum wage only for large corporations?

01:19:02.000 They don't care.

01:19:04.000 They wouldn't care.

01:19:04.000 It's a rounding error.

01:19:05.000 But what would happen is they couldn't hire as many people, but more people would be benefiting from working there, but they would still limit their ability to hire mass.

01:19:13.000 They would just increase the prices and it would have the same effect on the local economy.

01:19:17.000 But then people wouldn't buy their stuff because their prices would go up.

01:19:19.000 That's not even... That's maybe partially true.

01:19:23.000 Or they'd hire less people and save them money.

01:19:25.000 But what they would do is... And the business couldn't grow.

01:19:27.000 No, no, no.

01:19:28.000 Here's what would happen.

01:19:28.000 Ian, Ian, Ian.

01:19:30.000 If you went to Starbucks and say, and they do increase minimum wage based on company size as well in a lot of places, like if you have 50 or more employees or 150, but here's what happens.

01:19:39.000 Starbucks, uh, well, you know, let's not say Starbucks.

01:19:43.000 Let's say S-bucks.

01:19:47.000 Seattle Bucks Cafe will find a location where there's a mom-and-pop cafe, they'll open up next door, and purposefully lose money with ridiculously low prices.

01:19:59.000 You know why?

01:20:00.000 Because a regular person's gonna walk up and there's a mom-and-pop shop, five buck Frappuccino, and they're gonna look over at Starbucks, four buck Frappuccino.

01:20:07.000 Starbucks loses a dollar on every sale, but they're strangling the small business who doesn't have the coffers to fight back.

01:20:14.000 So if you came out and said, OK, OK, then we should raise the minimum wage on these big, you know, these bigger companies.

01:20:20.000 Walmart's going to sit back with a cigar in their mouth and be like, oh, we can sink all of them.

01:20:26.000 We're going to drop our prices because we have billions upon billions in profits.

01:20:29.000 We're going to take a 20 percent loss on that store and we'll pay your minimum wage.

01:20:34.000 And then, once we eliminate all of the local shops, local bakeries gone, local butcher shop is gone, local clothing store is gone, then we're gonna crank the prices way up to accommodate those losses, and you can't do anything about it if there's nowhere to go.

01:20:47.000 They'll pay inflated wages and reduce the cost of their sales?

01:20:51.000 You think that's a big risk for a large corp?

01:20:53.000 No, it's not.

01:20:53.000 That's a big risk.

01:20:54.000 No, it isn't.

01:20:55.000 Bro, in San Francisco, Starbucks is across the street from Starbucks.

01:20:55.000 I think it is.

01:20:59.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:21:00.000 Have you guys seen this?

01:21:01.000 All over the place.

01:21:01.000 Yeah.

01:21:03.000 There's literally a Starbucks and across the street Starbucks.

01:21:04.000 I think there was a Starbucks inside of a Starbucks.

01:21:06.000 No, that was an Onion article.

01:21:07.000 No, that was an Onion article.

01:21:08.000 It sounds true.

01:21:09.000 It might happen.

01:21:10.000 In Chicago, there was one intersection where there's on the southwest corner Starbucks and the northeast corner Starbucks.

01:21:16.000 They don't make money doing that. 0.99

01:21:19.000 They dominate and take over.

01:21:21.000 Bro, these corporations make so much in profits with all of these locations that they can sacrifice one location to defeat you, the people, the working class. 0.97

01:21:30.000 Oh, so you think they'll lower the prices at a specific location?

01:21:33.000 That's what they do.

01:21:34.000 So if, you know, a local jurisdiction says, you know, our city is increasing the minimum wage, they'll say, okay, we will pay that.

01:21:42.000 And then we're not going to raise prices.

01:21:45.000 We're going to make sure our prices are low enough that anyone who could compete with us in an X, you know, X mile radius is put out of business.

01:21:51.000 Then we can charge whatever we want and they'll get their money back.

01:21:55.000 Yeah, to an ignorant populace, yeah, that would work. 0.87

01:21:57.000 It works all the time. 0.97

01:22:00.000 They do it all the time. 0.99

01:22:00.000 To an ignorant populace. 0.99

01:22:02.000 If people knew what they were doing, and that they were trying to put businesses out of business, and they realized it, then they would boycott the place. 0.97

01:22:07.000 They do.

01:22:07.000 They don't care.

01:22:08.000 This is why I said yesterday— I do.

01:22:10.000 You do.

01:22:11.000 I said this yesterday.

01:22:12.000 Let me know if you agree, Tom. 0.98

01:22:13.000 I said, if you went to your average American—I don't care if they're liberal, conservative, or otherwise—and said, All of the good in your life, your wages, the cheap gas, everything, we will allow you to keep, but we need you to sign this document to kill a bunch of kids overseas. 1.00

01:22:30.000 I say they would sign it.

01:22:31.000 I say the average American would be like, don't tell my friends I did.

01:22:35.000 People walk up to Starbucks knowing exactly who they are and what they do.

01:22:41.000 We just went and bought a bunch of Starbucks because they got rid of the vaccine mandate.

01:22:44.000 Don't roll me in on this one.

01:22:45.000 You did it, Tim.

01:22:48.000 When a company does the right thing, I want them to do more of the right thing.

01:22:48.000 I stand by it.

01:22:52.000 So I'll call them out now.

01:22:53.000 And it's not just about Starbucks.

01:22:56.000 I've only heard the anecdotes about Starbucks.

01:22:58.000 I was going to say, fact check me on that.

01:23:01.000 I may be wrong.

01:23:03.000 But yeah, I don't know about Starbucks specifically, but it is true that businesses will intentionally take a loss in order to destroy their competitors.

01:23:09.000 But can they take the level of loss of having their wages go up and their sales cost go up?

01:23:14.000 That's a big change.

01:23:15.000 It depends on how much the change is in either direction.

01:23:17.000 The quote Nancy Pelosi when she was defending her individualized stock trades.

01:23:21.000 That's capital.

01:23:23.000 And the challenge is that you may not like it.

01:23:23.000 Yeah.

01:23:25.000 It's like how do you fix it? 0.92

01:23:27.000 And the only way to fix it is through a regulatory scheme run by incompetence liars or lying incompetence.

01:23:34.000 So there's there's no good answer to that.

01:23:37.000 If you don't, you know, I sometimes shop in places that aren't chain stores because I know I'm getting a little bit more customer service and that's good.

01:23:46.000 And other times I'll go to Starbucks because I like the coffee there.

01:23:49.000 I got to be honest, out here, even in West Virginia, the local coffee and bagel shop has a mask mandate by choice and the Starbucks doesn't.

01:23:58.000 Drop that mandate, dog.

01:23:59.000 You heard it here first.

01:24:00.000 Can we talk about Nancy Pelosi for a second?

01:24:03.000 She's running for re-election. 1.00

01:24:05.000 Nancy Pelosi has announced she's running for re-election.

01:24:07.000 Oh, good for her. 0.96

01:24:08.000 Is she just doing this because it looks like the 29 Democrats are resigning?

01:24:08.000 Heaven help us.

01:24:14.000 You mean the 29 Democrats are resigning?

01:24:16.000 Yeah, 29 Democrats are about to resign.

01:24:17.000 So she's like, well, we're going to lose the entire House to the Republicans, so I need to stay here.

01:24:23.000 You think that's why she's... Yeah, I mean, she can retire at any time or end her campaign at any time. 1.00

01:24:28.000 You know what I think we should do?

01:24:29.000 And hear me out, I'm 100% serious.

01:24:33.000 I believe some nice gentleman should bring in a wheelchair to her office, place her in it, put a blanket on her lap, and wheel her out, bring her to a home, and make sure she's comfortable, and then we the people will decide what to do next. 1.00

01:24:46.000 Are you suggesting she has a Joe Biden problem?

01:24:49.000 Nancy Pelosi? 0.99

01:24:50.000 I mean, she's just old and out of touch and incompetent. 1.00

01:24:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:24:55.000 And at a certain point, we have an age minimum, but perhaps we require an age limit as well.

01:25:01.000 She shakes when she talks.

01:25:03.000 And her teeth fall out.

01:25:05.000 We were talking about this before the show started.

01:25:09.000 Compare and contrast the mental acuity Of Dr. Fauci.

01:25:14.000 Who's 81.

01:25:14.000 Exactly.

01:25:15.000 With Joe Biden and or Nancy Pelosi or many others of similar age.

01:25:19.000 To be fair Fauci has flip-flopped so often maybe he does have some kind of brain thing going on.

01:25:24.000 I mean it's true it's so much more about the individual person it's very you can't really put in a blanket statement say at this age the person has to step down because some people are just sharp at an older age.

01:25:33.000 The nice thing about comparing Biden to Fauci.

01:25:34.000 Then why do we have an age minimum?

01:25:36.000 No, I mean, well, I think the age minimum is a life experience thing.

01:25:40.000 I think that's a big part of it.

01:25:41.000 I mean, do you want, like, a 21-year-old in any of these positions?

01:25:45.000 Yo, if there's somebody who started working in, you know, like, a factory with, like, their family or whatever when they were seven, and they've got 15 years of experience in, you know, a political and industrial environment, it's better than a 25-year-old who's graduated from college.

01:26:02.000 What about non-Americans? 0.83

01:26:04.000 I hear you say.

01:26:04.000 What do you mean?

01:26:05.000 Like Elon, a non-American that moves to the United States when they're two, but they can't be president and they have all these restrictions on what they can be in government.

01:26:12.000 Do you think that we should get rid of that stuff?

01:26:13.000 No, I think that's good.

01:26:14.000 That's fine.

01:26:15.000 But age restrictions you think we should get rid of?

01:26:17.000 Age restrictions?

01:26:18.000 No, I'm in favor of putting more on.

01:26:20.000 Oh, I thought you said a young genius should have access to it.

01:26:23.000 I said we should have an age limit for old people, and he said, but you can't determine the life experience, you know, blah blah blah. 1.00

01:26:28.000 And then I said, well, we do it for young people.

01:26:28.000 Some people.

01:26:30.000 My point is, we have a minimum, we should have a maximum.

01:26:34.000 I'm not saying definitively, I completely 100% believe we should have a maximum.

01:26:37.000 I'm saying, let's entertain the possibility that someone who's 80 should probably retire.

01:26:43.000 Cognitive tests.

01:26:45.000 The laws they are passing, they will not live underneath.

01:26:48.000 Okay, so, you know, if a society grows great when people plant trees whose shade they know they'll never sit beneath, 80-year-olds like Pelosi and old people like Biden are not planting trees for anyone.

01:26:48.000 They don't do tests.

01:26:59.000 Yeah, they're not going to see whatever happens.

01:27:01.000 They don't care.

01:27:02.000 It's a complicated.

01:27:03.000 Go ahead.

01:27:04.000 Well, it's just it's a complicated thing because I do think that it's it's an age floors a bit different from an age ceiling here, but Ultimately, we have a system that's structured so that because you leave office eventually, everyone's sort of incentivized to just pull what they can out of the system for as long as they can until they leave without really thinking about the long-term consequences.

01:27:28.000 Because let's say you have a young politician, and it's like, they're not going to have to live under the policies anyway because there are different laws for them.

01:27:37.000 They're above it.

01:27:38.000 Well, so my proposal was the island.

01:27:41.000 The island.

01:27:42.000 Which is?

01:27:43.000 As soon as you leave office, you get sent to an island where you will live with other people who have left office.

01:27:49.000 You will own nothing and you'll be happy.

01:27:53.000 I have an island where I put people, but we do different categories.

01:27:57.000 I don't know, maybe they can go along with him.

01:28:00.000 I don't seriously think that idea is the right idea, but I'm just trying to think, like, how do you stop someone from saying, I'm going to run for office, I'm going to get in, I'm going to extract as much as I can, and then I'm going to run away?

01:28:13.000 You don't.

01:28:13.000 That's all any of them do.

01:28:14.000 How do you stop it?

01:28:16.000 I don't know.

01:28:16.000 It might be built into democracy and representative democracy.

01:28:21.000 This is advice as head of Judicial Watch.

01:28:23.000 We're nonpartisan.

01:28:24.000 I give to all politicians To me, running on a reform agenda would be a solution there.

01:28:31.000 And that agenda would include term limits, balanced budget amendments, significant cuts to the federal government.

01:28:38.000 Because what happens is, it's not someone who's 80.

01:28:40.000 It's someone who's 80 who got there when they were 40.

01:28:43.000 You know, I prefer having someone there 75 to 85 there for 10 years.

01:28:49.000 You know, that experience is of great value to society.

01:28:53.000 So that's not the issue.

01:28:55.000 The issue is the term of office that politicians are in.

01:28:59.000 And to me, you know, I know there are a lot of conservatives who don't like the idea of term limits.

01:29:02.000 I don't think it's a silver bullet.

01:29:04.000 But what happens is it breeds the worst aspects of being a politician.

01:29:08.000 You're right.

01:29:09.000 Cynicism, institutionalism, contempt for other people's views who aren't in Congress because you've known it all since you've been there forever.

01:29:18.000 No, no, no.

01:29:19.000 We need new blood every few years.

01:29:21.000 You're right.

01:29:22.000 And I think I will revise my The Island statement and just say perhaps the solution is Logan's Run.

01:29:30.000 Great movie.

01:29:31.000 Yeah.

01:29:31.000 Seamus, are you familiar?

01:29:32.000 I have, I have not seen Logan's run.

01:29:34.000 So when you turn 30, when you turn 30, you, uh, you know, you get, you shuffle off the mortal coil.

01:29:40.000 Are you, are you spoiling it?

01:29:42.000 People have lights.

01:29:42.000 Yeah.

01:29:43.000 We laugh, but that's been the approach with Briar.

01:29:47.000 Briar could die in office.

01:29:49.000 You know, that's why they were mad, angry at, at, um, what's Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

01:29:53.000 Cause she died during the Trump administration.

01:29:55.000 She should have gotten out.

01:29:56.000 That's a great satirical article.

01:30:01.000 Red light on Breyer's hand begins blinking red.

01:30:04.000 Forced to retire.

01:30:05.000 That's the way the left looks at Supreme Court justices.

01:30:07.000 In Logan's run, they had lights on their hands.

01:30:09.000 And it was like, when they were young, it was green.

01:30:11.000 When they're getting old, it turns yellow.

01:30:12.000 When they're about to turn 30, it starts blinking red.

01:30:15.000 And then Logan's run is, you know.

01:30:16.000 He runs.

01:30:17.000 Yeah, he runs.

01:30:17.000 He's like, I don't want to die!

01:30:18.000 I'm only 30!

01:30:18.000 He just runs.

01:30:19.000 He's like, all right, bye.

01:30:20.000 That's how you escape it.

01:30:21.000 We got a runner.

01:30:22.000 We got a runner.

01:30:22.000 Dude escapes this trophy just by running.

01:30:24.000 They could remake that movie.

01:30:25.000 They could do it really, really well.

01:30:26.000 They kind of did.

01:30:27.000 So there was a film I saw a few years ago.

01:30:29.000 I saw it recently, but it came out about 10 years ago.

01:30:31.000 It's with Justin Timberlake.

01:30:32.000 It's not exactly the same, but you have a barcode on your arm that says the amount of time that you're alive for.

01:30:38.000 When it counts down to zero, you die.

01:30:39.000 And you can buy time.

01:30:40.000 But you can buy time, yeah.

01:30:41.000 So wealth is the amount of time you have.

01:30:43.000 Not exactly the same, but kind of a different twist on a similar concept.

01:30:46.000 I think I saw that.

01:30:47.000 I think that's a cool concept.

01:30:52.000 I don't know.

01:30:52.000 These sci-fi dystopian movies aren't really the solution to our problems.

01:30:55.000 If we were going to remake it, it would have to be in a dream.

01:30:57.000 Like, they trap you in your metaverse, and then you have to run in the dream.

01:31:01.000 Because in the real life, if you try and run, there's drone bombs and lasers.

01:31:06.000 But in the dream, you can run away.

01:31:07.000 No, no, Ian.

01:31:08.000 You run for office.

01:31:10.000 And then you run to get away from office.

01:31:14.000 So a term is four years.

01:31:15.000 You run for Congress, boom, you're in for four years.

01:31:17.000 As soon as that four years is up, there's no re-election.

01:31:19.000 You get locked in the Matrix.

01:31:21.000 Wow.

01:31:21.000 That's it.

01:31:22.000 You're just out.

01:31:23.000 We don't have the technology, so it's just going to be Mark Zuckerberg, like, duct taping Oculus to your forehead and putting you in the metaverse.

01:31:28.000 Like, you can't get out.

01:31:29.000 You're covered in bed sores.

01:31:31.000 The theory is there was an old, the old play, Dr. Marlowe by, uh, well, no, Faustus by Christopher Marlowe.

01:31:39.000 Dr. Faustus.

01:31:39.000 Yeah, Faustus is dealing with the devil, Mephistopheles.

01:31:43.000 And he said, how did you get out of hell, Mephistopheles?

01:31:46.000 He said, this is hell, nor am I out of it.

01:31:48.000 So we're still in the matrix.

01:31:50.000 Yeah, man.

01:31:52.000 You know, maybe, maybe.

01:31:53.000 I think the metaverse is coming.

01:31:56.000 I think we're all going to get locked inside of it.

01:31:57.000 We're in a matrix.

01:31:58.000 You can measure the matrix we're in.

01:32:00.000 If you know how much of something, what it is and where it is, and you can measure that in the X, Y, Z axis, this cube that we're within.

01:32:07.000 Okay, I have no idea what that means, but my proposal is this.

01:32:16.000 When we elect Joe Rogan as president in 2028, he should issue an executive order mandating DMT passport requirements for access to bars, restaurants, and universities.

01:32:25.000 Did you smoke your DMT?

01:32:27.000 Have you smoked a DMT?

01:32:29.000 Have you had your DMT booster?

01:32:30.000 It wears off.

01:32:33.000 I think to Joe Rogan's credit, I don't think Joe Rogan would vote for Joe Rogan.

01:32:37.000 No, I agree.

01:32:38.000 Good point.

01:32:39.000 Love the humility.

01:32:39.000 That's true.

01:32:40.000 And the great thing about Joe is it's his guests.

01:32:42.000 They talk a lot about Joe Rogan, and he is a genius.

01:32:45.000 He'll talk himself down, but the way he can sit there and listen to Jordan Peterson, you need a genius to do that.

01:32:48.000 He's the Larry King of the internet age.

01:32:50.000 Yeah.

01:32:51.000 And shout out to his guests.

01:32:52.000 I mean, there is something to be said about a passport for some kind of deeper understanding of reality.

01:32:58.000 I don't think it's necessarily, you know, DMT, that's the joke.

01:33:01.000 But perhaps if we as a society were like, you know, a service guarantees citizenship or something to that effect, you know, like, you need to understand something, you need to do work and contribute for something in order to get something in return.

01:33:15.000 Right now it's, you know, we had that famous quote, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

01:33:21.000 It's completely inverted these days.

01:33:23.000 Yeah.

01:33:23.000 Well, there's a war on citizenship.

01:33:25.000 I mean, the whole, the whole zeitgeist now is to eliminate the distinctions between citizens and non-citizens.

01:33:32.000 Oh, New York's?

01:33:36.000 It's offensive to the transnational progressives.

01:33:40.000 They don't believe in nation-states and sovereignty because it gets in the way of the communist utopia they're pushing.

01:33:47.000 And I wouldn't have said this six years ago.

01:33:49.000 You knew this was out there among the Marxists for a long time.

01:33:52.000 But now there's kind of a rising communism in a major party here in the country that this is their go-to strategy.

01:34:01.000 It's not coincidence.

01:34:02.000 I mean, when CRT is the guiding movement narrative for a presidential administration, you know, those pushing it must be very proud.

01:34:10.000 Dude, Build Back Better is a Klaus Schwab thing.

01:34:13.000 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is part of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset is Build Back Better.

01:34:18.000 This is where I first heard of it.

01:34:19.000 And then all of a sudden, a year later, Joe Biden is saying those words as if we're going to do it without referencing Klaus Schwab.

01:34:26.000 And please correct me if I'm wrong.

01:34:28.000 If Klaus Schwab didn't say it, then I'm totally off base.

01:34:30.000 But I remember talking about this.

01:34:31.000 It was all over Europe.

01:34:32.000 I think Boris Johnson claimed Biden stole it from him because Build Back Better was all over Europe.

01:34:38.000 OK.

01:34:38.000 Well, Nancy Pelosi used Drain the Swamp when she ran to take control of Congress in 2010.

01:34:45.000 Wow.

01:34:45.000 Really?

01:34:45.000 There's nothing new under the sun.

01:34:48.000 Yep.

01:34:48.000 And Make America Great Again was Ronald Reagan.

01:34:51.000 Yep.

01:34:52.000 Morning in America again.

01:34:53.000 Yeah.

01:34:53.000 Morning in America.

01:34:54.000 This is exactly right.

01:34:55.000 Klaus Schwab first started circulating the idea of the Great Reset, which uses Build Back Better integral parts.

01:35:01.000 So we are co-opted.

01:35:01.000 Are we allowed to say the Great Reset?

01:35:03.000 Yeah, the Great Reset is very, very plain.

01:35:06.000 I know all these algorithms get triggered by certain words.

01:35:09.000 It's either directly influenced and has co-opted our president or indirectly.

01:35:15.000 But this methodology of building back better with a socialized, corporate, political government state is in Joe Biden's head, whether he realizes it or not.

01:35:23.000 Well, certainly with COVID, you know, initially there was this panicked, crazed decision making on the shutdowns.

01:35:28.000 Now it's vindictive and vicious.

01:35:31.000 And they see it as an opportunity for dramatic political and social change.

01:35:36.000 I mean, I don't think it's any mistake you had this Reddit thing pop up with, I don't want to work, after two years of people not having to work.

01:35:43.000 All right, everybody, let's go to Super Chats.

01:35:45.000 If you have not already, smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.

01:35:51.000 It really does help.

01:35:52.000 And go to TimCast.com, subscribe.

01:35:53.000 We're gonna have a members-only segment talking about election stuff.

01:35:56.000 That'll be up around 11 or so p.m., but let's read what we got here.

01:35:58.000 We got Dylan Hernandez says, I subscribed to your TimCast monthly plan.

01:36:03.000 I used PayPal to leave it as my autopay.

01:36:06.000 Have not used PayPal in months.

01:36:08.000 Just let the payments go through, but days ago, PayPal banned my account.

01:36:11.000 Didn't do anything but give you money.

01:36:14.000 Yep.

01:36:16.000 I can't say I'm surprised.

01:36:17.000 I don't know if it has anything to do with us, but maybe.

01:36:20.000 I don't know.

01:36:21.000 Maybe it was because you didn't use the account, to be completely honest.

01:36:25.000 If you set up an account with PayPal and then you turn on AutoPay and then don't do anything with it, they might send you an email and be like, hey, is this account still active?

01:36:32.000 And if you're not really paying attention, they might say, okay, shut it down.

01:36:35.000 It could be one reason.

01:36:36.000 I don't know.

01:36:38.000 Alright, let's see, Blue C says, check my ads, posted, you are next. 0.54

01:36:43.000 Yeah, that's, they're just, you know, trying really, really hard to get attention, so congratulations, the super chat works in their favor, but, um, I gotta be honest, we are principally not funded by ads, you know?

01:36:53.000 We, uh, it's this weirdest thing where the left is going after, like, Dan Bongino, and, uh, I think Ben Shapiro, maybe, I don't know.

01:37:00.000 But it has something to do with January 6th.

01:37:02.000 And they're like, we're gonna get all their advertisers removed from their show.

01:37:06.000 And I'm just like, we do direct ad reads.

01:37:08.000 Like, I read the ads at the end of the show, and we only do six per month.

01:37:13.000 So you do advertising, like traditional radio advertising, where the host is reading an ad, you know.

01:37:19.000 Yeah, it's all like directly with us, from people who know us and ask us.

01:37:25.000 The company's come to us and they're like, Hey, we want to be on your show.

01:37:28.000 So I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't get it.

01:37:30.000 Look, it's just grifting.

01:37:31.000 It's just people who are lying to pay you to encourage people to donate to judicial watch.

01:37:36.000 You have to pay me to do it?

01:37:37.000 Would we have to?

01:37:38.000 Oh, I mean, or you could just come on the show and shout out Judicial Watch.

01:37:42.000 But for the most part, my friends... But that's the way you would do it.

01:37:44.000 You know someone, and they know you, and you... You know, for Judicial Watch stuff... So Sleeping Giants isn't going to be able to stop anyone from advertising.

01:37:53.000 Well, that's basically what it is.

01:37:55.000 It's a lady who got really mad because she tried claiming she started it when she didn't.

01:37:59.000 So she's trying to be like, it was me, but it wasn't some other guy or something like that. 0.98

01:38:03.000 So now she's trying to get attention by, you know, posting overtly fake garbage. 1.00

01:38:10.000 As everybody who watches the show knows, she's made the claim that I've pushed the big lie that Donald Trump won the election, which I've never once stated. 0.95

01:38:17.000 Not one time.

01:38:19.000 And for this, the Trump supporters are very mad at me.

01:38:20.000 They don't like me for it.

01:38:22.000 But we're funded by members at TimCast.com.

01:38:25.000 So, what makes this show work?

01:38:27.000 TimCast.com.

01:38:28.000 Memberships.

01:38:29.000 What makes our journalists able to do their jobs?

01:38:31.000 Your membership at TimCast.com.

01:38:33.000 So when these people just make up these lies, like, we're gonna go after their advertisers, and their advertisements are like, .1, I think it's like .01% of the revenue, it's so ridiculously small, it's completely negligible, and I'm just like, I actually was talking to the company, and I was like, do we even need this?

01:38:49.000 Like, do we need to do this?

01:38:51.000 It's like, well, Is it worth it?

01:38:52.000 You should, because the idea is that, you know, once the website gets bigger and has much more traffic, it could become substantial.

01:39:00.000 So, you know, for the most part, they're just grifters who are trying to use the fact that our show is growing and hatred from trolls or whatever to make money, and they've made tens of thousands of dollars off lying.

01:39:11.000 They overtly lie, they make things up, they completely fabricate things, and I will state for the record right now as a statement of fact, That these individuals fabricate information to trick people into giving them money, and I believe it is an act of fraud.

01:39:24.000 Yeah, I can assert that with... I mean, look, I'll be honest.

01:39:29.000 The lies are so obvious that, like, it's not even a question for me to say.

01:39:33.000 That's my view generally about big tech.

01:39:35.000 It's all fraud.

01:39:36.000 The censorship is evidence of fraud.

01:39:38.000 Oh, wow.

01:39:38.000 And it should be prosecuted.

01:39:40.000 But why do you say fraud?

01:39:41.000 Because they're saying they're censoring you for reason A when in fact it's reason B. So they're lying to users, shareholders, regulators, and Congress.

01:39:49.000 Oh, interesting.

01:39:50.000 Securities Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Congress, DOJ, and I trust whatever should be investigating the fraud.

01:39:58.000 Yeah.

01:39:58.000 All right.

01:39:59.000 Michael Holder says, regarding the race-swapping characters thing, it's not actually about the race-swapping.

01:40:04.000 It's that everyone in Hollywood has become race-obsessed ideologues and turned everything they write into woke veggie tales.

01:40:10.000 Ask Eric July about it next time he's on.

01:40:12.000 He'll talk your ears off about it.

01:40:14.000 Oh, no, no.

01:40:16.000 I get it, for sure.

01:40:17.000 You know, we were talking last night about, uh, Titans.

01:40:20.000 It's a DC show.

01:40:21.000 Yeah.

01:40:22.000 One of the characters, Starfire, is in the comics, she's like an orange alien. 0.82

01:40:26.000 And they cast a black woman to play Starfire.

01:40:29.000 There was like this big uproar, I guess, a lot of people were angry, like, why are they, you know, Starfire is not black or whatever, and my attitude was like, it's an alien.

01:40:36.000 I call it racialism. 0.64

01:40:37.000 It's this obsession and it's disturbing.

01:40:38.000 why anyone would be mad about that.

01:40:40.000 But their response is, it's not really about that.

01:40:42.000 It's about the race obsession and the wokeness and the CRT and stuff. 0.92

01:40:46.000 I'm like, that I get.

01:40:47.000 Yeah.

01:40:47.000 What do you hear about the M&Ms?

01:40:48.000 I call it racialism. 0.64

01:40:50.000 It's this obsession and it's disturbing.

01:40:53.000 It's really disturbing.

01:40:55.000 I agree, man.

01:40:56.000 I agree.

01:40:56.000 Alright, Joker says, ShimCast forever!

01:40:58.000 Beautiful!

01:40:59.000 Thank you so much.

01:41:00.000 And honestly, it has been forever since I've been on.

01:41:03.000 It's so great to be back.

01:41:04.000 We gotta get... We have this TimCast thing that's behind our guests all the time.

01:41:09.000 You can see it.

01:41:10.000 Someone made it for us.

01:41:11.000 We need to get one that says ShimCast. 0.93

01:41:13.000 We do.

01:41:14.000 Anyone, you guys.

01:41:15.000 Someone wants to send us a ShimCast sign.

01:41:18.000 It looks like that TimCast sign.

01:41:20.000 We're putting it behind Seamus.

01:41:21.000 They were looking for something to put up behind me.

01:41:23.000 So Tim just pins a lint roller to the wall.

01:41:28.000 It's right there.

01:41:29.000 This is what I'm working with.

01:41:30.000 He was actually rolling the lint off him before he did it too. 0.92

01:41:32.000 It indicates that Seamus is dirty. 0.99

01:41:34.000 I am dirty. 0.90

01:41:34.000 Well, I don't think there needs to be an indicator. 0.90

01:41:36.000 Is that the anti-Irish subtext too?

01:41:38.000 Exactly.

01:41:39.000 Oh, it's nothing to do with him being Irish.

01:41:40.000 Clean yourself up.

01:41:41.000 YouTube will ban you.

01:41:42.000 I don't like this racialism.

01:41:45.000 Netflix is gonna reboot me.

01:41:48.000 Alright, RVDL says Neil hoped to burn out, but he chose to fade away.

01:41:53.000 What a sad old man.

01:41:55.000 I just listened to Sweet Judy Blue Eyes before I came up. 1.00

01:41:58.000 Neil Young.

01:41:59.000 Sad Neil Young.

01:42:00.000 What is this?

01:42:02.000 Saluk Erotic says, I hope Neil Young will remember. 0.94

01:42:06.000 A southern man don't need him around anyhow.

01:42:09.000 Sweet home Alabama.

01:42:11.000 Yep, they don't need him around, neither do we.

01:42:13.000 You could be an internet person, you could be a freedom-loving person, you could be a music or podcast listener.

01:42:17.000 None of us need you, Neil Young.

01:42:18.000 Spotify don't need him around, that's it.

01:42:20.000 Yeah, they don't.

01:42:23.000 DJ Buddies Rock Garden says, dude, I'm 61 and a loyal listener.

01:42:27.000 F Neil Young, disaffected liberal.

01:42:30.000 Isn't it sad?

01:42:30.000 He's an okay boomer.

01:42:32.000 He's an okay boomer.

01:42:33.000 Love him.

01:42:36.000 The thing about Neil Young is that he's this guy who's supposed to be protesting, rocking in the free world.

01:42:43.000 And he's just an establishment shill.

01:42:44.000 The problem is when you get famous for something, there's a tendency to think that you're supposed to keep doing that thing you got famous for to continue to be famous.

01:42:52.000 So he got really well known for being, you know, for protesting.

01:42:56.000 And it's like, at some point you can change course.

01:42:59.000 You don't need to keep being the guy that poured ketchup on your head every video to try and one-up what made you get there.

01:43:04.000 You know, now you're there.

01:43:06.000 I was in the shower, man.

01:43:07.000 I almost came out hot on Neil Young, just ripping him to shreds personally, but I don't really know exactly what his thought process is here, so I'm not going to go too hard on him.

01:43:16.000 Let me, uh, earmuffs for your kids.

01:43:20.000 Lee says, I'm one of the few CNN viewers.

01:43:24.000 I was channel surfing and my BF came over.

01:43:26.000 We started participating in adult activities and he threw the remote, stopping it on CNN.

01:43:30.000 I'm sorry.

01:43:31.000 My worst mistake and biggest regret.

01:43:33.000 Could you imagine with like Don Lemon in the background?

01:43:37.000 How would that even work for any, any human being?

01:43:39.000 Mind over matter.

01:43:42.000 Desperately trying to focus on something else.

01:43:46.000 Jim Acosta comes on.

01:43:47.000 Yeah, I'm sorry, man.

01:43:49.000 Nope.

01:43:51.000 Alright, Waffle Sensei says, Shamus, would you consider filling in for Luke till he gets back?

01:43:56.000 You're hilarious and we love you, dude.

01:43:58.000 Oh, I love you.

01:43:58.000 Thank you so much for saying that.

01:43:59.000 So yeah, Tim and I have definitely been talking about it.

01:44:01.000 I might be hanging out for a little while and just... Yeah, Seamus came to me and asked.

01:44:04.000 I was begging.

01:44:05.000 I said, Tim, please.

01:44:06.000 I started laughing.

01:44:06.000 Tim, you begged me.

01:44:07.000 You said, Seamus, we need you.

01:44:10.000 We need you over here.

01:44:11.000 ShimCast is gonna fall apart without the original ShimSham himself.

01:44:16.000 And I said, I'll get here.

01:44:16.000 I'll come there as fast as I can because I'm a good friend.

01:44:18.000 And I got in my car and I drove hours and hours and hours.

01:44:21.000 He was like, I couldn't help but notice Luke is gone.

01:44:23.000 And I was like, and?

01:44:24.000 And he was like, you think there's any chance?

01:44:26.000 I don't know.

01:44:26.000 Like maybe I could.

01:44:27.000 And I was like, Seamus, you think I would put you in Luke's chair?

01:44:32.000 I called Luke.

01:44:33.000 Luke immediately started screaming with laughter.

01:44:36.000 That is not even remotely what happened.

01:44:38.000 That is not even what happened.

01:44:39.000 Anyone who watches the vlogs- Luke was here for a few months, he left, so now that's where he would sit.

01:44:44.000 Anyone who watches the vlog will know the following is true, alright?

01:44:49.000 Luke was on his way out.

01:44:51.000 Old model, past his expiration date.

01:44:54.000 Gotta bring in the new model.

01:44:55.000 The Nancy Pelosi of Tim Cagney.

01:44:57.000 Exactly!

01:45:00.000 We're putting age limits.

01:45:02.000 I think he's gonna take offense to that.

01:45:05.000 And Luke comes to me, despite the fact that I've been nothing but respectful and admiring towards the Polish people.

01:45:13.000 And he starts trashing my ethnic background.

01:45:16.000 And I said, look, Tim, I'm going to be honest.

01:45:18.000 I think this guy's a PR disaster.

01:45:20.000 I think he's going to get you in trouble.

01:45:22.000 Tim said, you're right, Seamus.

01:45:23.000 I've been thinking about it.

01:45:24.000 I want to ask you on.

01:45:25.000 He kicked Luke out that day.

01:45:28.000 Pack your bags.

01:45:29.000 In all seriousness, if you want to... Well, we just exposed our whole PR campaign.

01:45:32.000 If you want to support Luke Rutkowski, go to thebestpoliticalshirts.com and get your favorite shirt.

01:45:37.000 And then Tim changed his mascot to, like, non-binary so that we wouldn't have any controversy.

01:45:43.000 What actually happened is that Luke left and I said, you know, we can see if we can have some people come in and out.

01:45:49.000 We have different cast, you know, people who work at the castle or work for timcast.com.

01:45:53.000 And then Seamus was like, I'm going to be heading back.

01:45:55.000 And I said, Uh, when are you coming back?

01:45:57.000 And he said, I think I might be back in a day or so.

01:45:59.000 And I was like, can you try and get back before the show?

01:46:02.000 Because we could really use you on the show.

01:46:03.000 And Shane was like, yeah, for sure.

01:46:04.000 And then that's what really happened.

01:46:06.000 First of all, that is not what happened.

01:46:07.000 I did not say I was going to be back in a day or so.

01:46:09.000 Tim said, if you're not back in a day or so, this is going to fall apart.

01:46:13.000 But I actually said it like...

01:46:14.000 If you're not back in a day or so.

01:46:17.000 And my arms are going like this.

01:46:18.000 If you're not back by the end of the day.

01:46:20.000 Speaking of which, check out the newest Freedom Tunes, everybody.

01:46:23.000 Pretty good.

01:46:23.000 Tucker Carlson and Bernie Sanders.

01:46:26.000 But yeah, that's what happened.

01:46:27.000 But yes, so I will be filling in for a little while.

01:46:30.000 Yes, Seamus will be filling in.

01:46:33.000 I mean, before Luke showed up, we didn't actually have a fourth person.

01:46:38.000 And then when we built this new studio, we had a fourth person in mind, because it used to just be three.

01:46:42.000 That's Tim putting me on notice.

01:46:44.000 He's like, I'm just letting you know we didn't always have four people.

01:46:46.000 Now you can have a fifth.

01:46:47.000 Yeah, we do.

01:46:49.000 Too many people, it becomes a cacophony.

01:46:52.000 You know what happens.

01:46:52.000 yeah all right we got one we got this one from wonder without the fear says truckers convoy 2022 this needs to be addressed this this peaceful and truckers helps everyone many usa truckers are coming up to ca so much love keep it peaceful yeah did you guys hear uh this massive trucker convoy man Yeah, and the GoFundMe.

01:47:12.000 Something about this GoFundMe.

01:47:13.000 They had 5 million and they froze this 5 million bucks going to the truckers.

01:47:17.000 Of course.

01:47:17.000 What's up with that?

01:47:18.000 Yeah, well, GoFundMe is like, until you can give us a plan as to what you're going to do with the money, frozen.

01:47:22.000 Right.

01:47:23.000 You know, I had Judicial Watch do a petition to get a special counsel for Joe Biden.

01:47:30.000 And I was a little nervous about using Change.org, but I did it and 350,000 people signed up.

01:47:35.000 And people were saying, well, that's a leftist organization.

01:47:38.000 It's like, well, good.

01:47:40.000 Yeah.

01:47:40.000 What better place than to advocate holding Joe Biden accountable than on Change.org?

01:47:47.000 So what are these truckers doing exactly?

01:47:49.000 They're protesting the VEX mandates.

01:47:51.000 And what are they doing?

01:47:51.000 Are they on the road just all diving?

01:47:53.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:47:54.000 Yeah, they're just in a big convoy.

01:47:55.000 Good.

01:47:55.000 Disrupting the supply chain.

01:47:57.000 Imagine screwing with truckers right now. 1.00

01:48:00.000 How stupid, how unbelievably stupid you have to be. 1.00

01:48:04.000 It's because everyone has to obey. 1.00

01:48:07.000 Doesn't matter if it's going to make life way more difficult for everybody, they're out of line and they have to be punished.

01:48:12.000 To be fair though, imagine screwing with truckers at any point.

01:48:15.000 No, that's also true, but especially now.

01:48:17.000 You're absolutely right.

01:48:18.000 We really depend on them.

01:48:19.000 But now, of all times, like when there's already supply chain issues, when we're already having food shortages, I know who we're going to screw with.

01:48:26.000 The people who bring us our food.

01:48:28.000 Brilliant.

01:48:29.000 Great job.

01:48:29.000 Thank you Brandon. All right. We got Rukusa says Tim waiting for you to pull your Brett Mason signature

01:48:35.000 Telly off the wall and break out and we're not gonna take it. I can dream can't I?

01:48:39.000 Well, we were we were planning on doing a show when we were gonna have

01:48:43.000 We were never Michael Graves, but he couldn't he didn't he he couldn't make it

01:48:49.000 We used to do Friday Night Jam sessions, but we're set up for it for the most part.

01:48:53.000 So maybe, you know, maybe.

01:48:54.000 Especially when we have guests on that are musicians, which probably will be sick.

01:48:58.000 That would be great.

01:48:58.000 Yeah, we used to do Friday night.

01:48:59.000 We would just jam out for like a half an hour after the show, play songs, play music.

01:49:03.000 People clipped a whole bunch of my songs and put them up, which they were like... After talking for like seven hours in one day, then trying to sing was just brutal.

01:49:11.000 I believe it.

01:49:12.000 Yeah, I'd be like... They're good though.

01:49:15.000 Those video clips are great.

01:49:17.000 That's how I learned a lot of your music is through those clips.

01:49:19.000 There you go.

01:49:20.000 I'm surprised.

01:49:20.000 They got a lot of views on some of them.

01:49:22.000 Who says I don't own firearms, but thank you very much.

01:49:26.000 We love him. It's really Tim. We love your work in the crew Tom. Thank God for judicial watch

01:49:29.000 IRL kicks ass PS democracy and peril equals Democrat mandates who says I don't own firearms, but thank you very 0.91

01:49:37.000 much I'm glad that you love me 0.98

01:49:39.000 All right. Let's grab some Brown bear says who the hell is Neil Young? Yeah 0.88

01:49:46.000 All of the young people who watch the show just went, who?

01:49:49.000 More like Neil Old, bro.

01:49:50.000 No one knows who you are.

01:49:51.000 That's a thing to consider too, when we're like, yo, Neil Young is issuing an ultimatum.

01:49:56.000 Anyone under like 30 went, who?

01:49:59.000 I'm under 30.

01:49:59.000 Yeah, I didn't know who he was.

01:50:02.000 You've never heard Neil Young before.

01:50:03.000 That's true.

01:50:04.000 I've never, I don't even know who he is.

01:50:04.000 Not once.

01:50:05.000 I've heard Neil Young.

01:50:06.000 Old Man is such a good song.

01:50:07.000 I like the classics.

01:50:07.000 Yeah, he's rockin', he's got the rockin', he's got Ohio.

01:50:09.000 He's got rockin', rockin' in the free world, I think, too.

01:50:11.000 Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

01:50:13.000 I mean, but when Neil left the band, it was just Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and they were never even held a candle to what the four of those guys did.

01:50:19.000 Yeah, well, Neil Young, I see this move and I'm just like, it makes me feel that everything he's ever said has been a lie just to pander to people to sell albums.

01:50:28.000 I don't.

01:50:29.000 I still think he's legit, but I think he's just gone.

01:50:32.000 He's like in a computer program on repeat.

01:50:35.000 Luke still believes in Neil Young.

01:50:36.000 And he's afraid of COVID.

01:50:37.000 You heard it here.

01:50:38.000 Yeah, I believe it for sure.

01:50:39.000 All right, PTSD.

01:50:40.000 PreppedNet says, Hey Tim, did you hear about Tiffany Cross on MSNBC?

01:50:43.000 She actually told people to get weapons and fight in a war. 0.97

01:50:46.000 She's trying to get people to physically harm people for their opinions and choices. 1.00

01:50:50.000 I think she was being metaphorical.

01:50:52.000 You know, she was like, we are in a war and people need to, you know, she said, she made that statement.

01:50:56.000 I'm going to be very careful here, but I'll tell you this.

01:50:59.000 It doesn't matter if it was metaphorical or not.

01:51:02.000 She actually said on MSNBC that people should take up weapons. 0.99

01:51:06.000 Alex Jones got banned for that.

01:51:07.000 That's one of the reasons he got banned.

01:51:09.000 Because he had made metaphorical statements about fighting back and defending yourself and stuff like that.

01:51:16.000 There's two rules here.

01:51:19.000 Jen Psaki was like, go to the weekend, drink a margarita, come back on Monday and let's fight! 1.00

01:51:24.000 Kickboxing class, she said.

01:51:26.000 She said, take a kickboxing class.

01:51:27.000 Then she said, have a margarita.

01:51:28.000 Then she said, come back on Monday and fight! 1.00

01:51:31.000 Like you're going to tell people to come fight?

01:51:34.000 Is that not inciting?

01:51:35.000 Yes, that caused the President of the United States to be impeached.

01:51:38.000 It's this metaphor, fight, fight, fight.

01:51:40.000 You hear Elizabeth Warren, we're going to fight for rights and fight and fight, fight, fight.

01:51:43.000 And you're like, dude, this is an annoying metaphor.

01:51:46.000 It's bland.

01:51:47.000 You obviously don't mean to take up physical arms.

01:51:49.000 Why are you saying fight?

01:51:52.000 But it's a metaphor that can get you banned on YouTube if you say it.

01:51:55.000 Depending on your political views.

01:51:56.000 If Tim said we're not going to take it anymore, they'd probably construe that as a threat.

01:51:59.000 Yeah, if I got up and went, I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore, they'd be like, whoa, whoa, shut it down.

01:52:05.000 What are you implying?

01:52:06.000 Yeah, what are you implying?

01:52:07.000 I don't like the fight metaphor, especially these politicians using it to rile people up.

01:52:10.000 I don't like it.

01:52:11.000 If I came out and said, I want to rock and roll all night and party every day, they'd just be like, oh, shut it down.

01:52:16.000 When he had a blade behind him and a firearm on the wall, we know he's a threat.

01:52:21.000 Someone suggested you get a cutlass, so it's true form.

01:52:24.000 Yeah, that's a mall sword.

01:52:26.000 It means I went to the mall, and I went to some, like, weeb guy who was like, you want to buy an Asian sword?

01:52:31.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:52:32.000 They said that the sword cheapens the gun, or the replica, so that you could get a cutlass and make the full pirate theme.

01:52:41.000 I literally was looking on the room like, what can I put behind me?

01:52:43.000 And I'm like, I have a mall sword.

01:52:44.000 And I have this, this, this flintlock, you know, and that's all that happened.

01:52:49.000 Beautiful.

01:52:49.000 And then we actually had a different decor.

01:52:51.000 Yeah.

01:52:51.000 We had a different guitar behind me, but it was too bright.

01:52:53.000 So we, we put up the Brett, the Brett Mason.

01:52:55.000 That dude is legit an incredible guitarist.

01:52:59.000 Wow.

01:52:59.000 This, this guitar is rad too.

01:53:01.000 That dude's this was awesome.

01:53:02.000 All right.

01:53:02.000 Let's see.

01:53:03.000 We got here.

01:53:03.000 We got the world says.

01:53:05.000 Why don't we just allow debtors to file for bankruptcy?

01:53:08.000 Student loans are the only loans where you can't file for bankruptcy.

01:53:13.000 I don't know if that's true.

01:53:15.000 Yeah, well also, you can't repossess a degree, which is part of it.

01:53:18.000 I'm not saying that there isn't a massive issue with student loans and the interest payments right now, but it's a very differently structured law.

01:53:25.000 You used to be able to default to George Bush Jr.

01:53:28.000 He passed some legislation and he couldn't default on those.

01:53:30.000 There is a massive issue.

01:53:31.000 We have adults making poor financial decisions and expecting taxpayers to come in and bail them out.

01:53:36.000 And they're seeking a massive transfer of wealth from people who don't go to college to people who do.

01:53:42.000 It's elitism in the worst way.

01:53:44.000 And they're the highest income earners in the country.

01:53:46.000 Yeah, I think there's truth in that.

01:53:47.000 But I do think the system is corrupt.

01:53:49.000 It needs to be stopped.

01:53:50.000 We stop these loans.

01:53:52.000 It's a federal government program.

01:53:53.000 It's supported by the government.

01:53:58.000 It wouldn't happen without government support.

01:54:00.000 Well, no, I mean, according to the National Bureau for Economic Research, the entire reason you have this student loan crisis and the entire reason college is so expensive is because of the wide availability of easy money.

01:54:10.000 So I agree with you there.

01:54:10.000 And it would be an incredibly regressive tax to, you know, quote unquote, forgive student loans.

01:54:15.000 But at the same time, the idea of somebody paying off significantly more than they ever took out, having paid off their debt and still having thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars left, I think is insane.

01:54:26.000 Standard interest.

01:54:28.000 You could do away with that standard interest.

01:54:30.000 Alright, Nick Zilla says, I don't see how this is a backfire for Neil Young.

01:54:33.000 Read his actual statement, he got what he asked for.

01:54:35.000 He's crazy about audio quality and has hated Spotify since forever.

01:54:39.000 Being off Spotify is probably worth it to him regardless of any Rogan feelings.

01:54:42.000 That's what I'm talking about.

01:54:44.000 No, he wanted to take his music off because of quality, but then later I guess he said something like, this is the place where people are getting their music and he wants people to hear his music so he's gonna stay on the platform.

01:54:53.000 I genuinely believe, in my opinion, I think it's a fair point.

01:54:57.000 Absolutely.

01:54:58.000 Cause Neil said, take me off of, I'll let you take off Rogan.

01:55:00.000 So they did.

01:55:00.000 So he got what he asked for, but I genuinely believe he thought it was going to be this moment where these other artists would be like, we're with Neil Young.

01:55:07.000 Yay.

01:55:08.000 And then Spotify would be like, I guess we got to get rid of Joe Rogan.

01:55:11.000 And then Joe would be like, Oh, and then they would all high five each other.

01:55:15.000 Instead Spotify was like, uh, uh, bye Neil.

01:55:19.000 Have a nice day.

01:55:20.000 Joe increased the value of their company by like 10 times by joining that platform.

01:55:25.000 The stock skyrocketed.

01:55:26.000 It's crazy.

01:55:27.000 The day after they announced it, it was like, boom.

01:55:27.000 I don't know exactly.

01:55:29.000 So yeah, they're not.

01:55:32.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:55:33.000 says, Crenshaw said he couldn't live off of $175,000 a year.

01:55:39.000 Wow.

01:55:40.000 Really?

01:55:42.000 Man, it feels like Dan Crenshaw's been, like, just getting a lot of heat as of late.

01:55:48.000 Kind of just not doing well.

01:55:52.000 We are going to have Dan Crenshaw on the show at some point.

01:55:55.000 And I think that'll be fascinating.

01:55:57.000 I think I've done a good job.

01:55:59.000 Luke will be back for that too.

01:56:00.000 I would be in favor of kicking up the salaries for members of Congress as part of my reform agenda.

01:56:04.000 You know, you get people in here for 10 years, And what happens is you have, government is designed to let people who work in government prosper.

01:56:14.000 But normal people, they're not welcome in government.

01:56:17.000 And the salaries reflect that.

01:56:19.000 So someone who wants, who's a businessman or just starting out, you know, a young person in their career, the idea they come to Congress, they couldn't afford to do it.

01:56:28.000 Why don't we make it affordable to someone to come here for a few years and leave?

01:56:32.000 Ben Franklin suggested that we pay them nothing and that everyone has to do it.

01:56:37.000 Only rich people would do it then.

01:56:38.000 Well, you don't really now in the modern age, you don't have to move to DC to be serving in Congress necessarily.

01:56:44.000 You could read the bills and vote online.

01:56:47.000 Yeah, I think that's unfortunately a negative.

01:56:49.000 Yeah, I think people need to be there to vote.

01:56:51.000 Look at what Marjorie Taylor Greene said.

01:56:52.000 They don't even show up.

01:56:54.000 So, nah, you should have to show up.

01:56:56.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:56:57.000 We got a very important one.

01:56:58.000 They don't want people coming into the Capitol anymore.

01:57:00.000 They don't.

01:57:01.000 Pelosi basically said, don't come.

01:57:04.000 A horrible gamer says, Tim, you lie.

01:57:07.000 What? 0.89

01:57:08.000 The trespassing, the swatting was all an elaborate plan to scare Luke to GTFO to Florida so you can bring in shame-musts.

01:57:16.000 Luke's seat is still warm, Tim.

01:57:19.000 I'm not even gonna respond to that.

01:57:20.000 Do you know that person?

01:57:21.000 It sounds uniquely personal.

01:57:23.000 Was that you?

01:57:24.000 There are many people who are obsessed with me on the internet who create rumors and lies to make me look bad.

01:57:31.000 None of that is true.

01:57:34.000 You never expect the Shamus Inquisition. 0.87

01:57:36.000 I'm not on trial.

01:57:37.000 I gotta be honest.

01:57:37.000 I'm not on trial.

01:57:38.000 I gotta tell him the truth.

01:57:39.000 I'm not on trial.

01:57:39.000 Just plead the fifth.

01:57:40.000 It's time we told him the truth.

01:57:41.000 Tim.

01:57:42.000 Tim.

01:57:42.000 Shamus and I colluded this whole thing.

01:57:44.000 Stop it, Tim.

01:57:44.000 What are you doing?

01:57:45.000 To scare Luke away.

01:57:46.000 Don't listen to him. 0.99

01:57:47.000 He's crazy. 1.00

01:57:48.000 Tim is insane. 1.00

01:57:48.000 Shamus offered me money. 1.00

01:57:49.000 Tim's crazy.

01:57:50.000 What money can I offer you? 0.92

01:57:51.000 What are you talking about, Tim?

01:57:54.000 Seamus is the one who actually got me the Anthony Fauci bobblehead.

01:57:57.000 We laundered it through Ian so that Luke wouldn't know.

01:58:00.000 Seamus actually asked me to come out here in the first place after years ago.

01:58:03.000 What?

01:58:03.000 How did this turn into so many things I never did?

01:58:08.000 Cut your hair?

01:58:08.000 What am I, Delilah?

01:58:10.000 You have a nice haircut, by the way.

01:58:11.000 I don't know if we pointed that out.

01:58:12.000 Thank you, I appreciate that.

01:58:13.000 You know what?

01:58:13.000 We're turning it back around.

01:58:15.000 It started with accusations, and now I am getting compliments for my haircut.

01:58:19.000 Thank you.

01:58:19.000 I appreciate that.

01:58:20.000 You know, when I was waiting for someone to notice, shame on the superchats.

01:58:24.000 I thought I looked very nice.

01:58:25.000 I was excited for compliments from my adoring fans, and you guys didn't say anything nice to me.

01:58:29.000 On a scale of 1 to 10, how beautiful is Seamus' hair?

01:58:30.000 They're all putting a 1.

01:58:34.000 I'm just kidding.

01:58:35.000 They didn't have time to respond, Tim!

01:58:39.000 Joel Seberg says, I'm a CDL driver and have many skills.

01:58:43.000 Let me know if you need help, please.

01:58:44.000 I'm also adept in construction and farming.

01:58:47.000 I see you, Tim.

01:58:48.000 Well, actually, with the new trailer that we're building for the mobile shows, we're planning on going down to Florida to meet back up with Luke for one of our mobile shows.

01:58:55.000 We did this in Austin.

01:58:56.000 It was amazing.

01:58:58.000 And it was one of the funniest shows we've ever done.

01:59:01.000 It was like Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Blair White, Drew Hernandez, Ian Mee, Luke, and who am I forgetting?

01:59:07.000 Michael Malice?

01:59:08.000 You did forget me!

01:59:09.000 I forgot the guy sitting next to me.

01:59:11.000 No, we were like, Jameis, no one tell him. 0.92

01:59:13.000 And then we all had a party.

01:59:15.000 People were like, hey, look at Tin Cast tonight.

01:59:16.000 He shows up at the place, where is everybody?

01:59:19.000 But Joe, Joe, I was here alone.

01:59:21.000 People are saying negative one.

01:59:23.000 No, Joe, Joe.

01:59:24.000 I didn't think he'd be able to come on the show because he had his own show, but he was like, I can stop by.

01:59:28.000 And then it was just funny when he was like, I show up to a trailer on the side of the road.

01:59:33.000 I'm like, yup.

01:59:36.000 Yes!

01:59:36.000 Exit 2.

01:59:37.000 Literally, exit 2.

01:59:38.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:59:40.000 From Joe's nice podcast studio.

01:59:42.000 There's like stars on the ceiling and like shooting stars.

01:59:44.000 It's crazy.

01:59:45.000 It's amazing.

01:59:46.000 To a trailer on the side of the road where it's like everyone's yelling at each other and he's like, what the... We're thinking, we're hoping we can do that with the Daily Wire crew.

01:59:53.000 For sure.

01:59:54.000 Oh, you're going to not invite me to that either, Tim?

01:59:55.000 Definitely.

01:59:56.000 Oh, definitely.

01:59:56.000 You're going to go hang out with the Daily Wire crew?

01:59:58.000 We're going to tell Seamus.

01:59:59.000 Where is it?

02:00:00.000 Tell me it's somewhere else.

02:00:01.000 We're going to get there, and Seamus is going to wake up.

02:00:04.000 He's going to walk around rubbing his eyes, and he's going to be like, no one's home.

02:00:07.000 Is this home alone, bro?

02:00:08.000 Yes.

02:00:08.000 Is this every single time?

02:00:09.000 Because that's what happened last time, except I was at my apartment.

02:00:13.000 I was nowhere near Tim.

02:00:14.000 We're in Nashville.

02:00:15.000 I was nowhere near Tim, but I was still offended I wasn't invited.

02:00:17.000 I think it's only like nine hours from here or something.

02:00:19.000 But we talked to them about it, and we might be able to set up our studio in one of their lots, because we have the big mobile fifth wheel.

02:00:26.000 We have a new one we're redesigning.

02:00:27.000 It's gonna be amazing.

02:00:28.000 And then it would actually be really cool to do, we want to do like one of each of their hosts, you know, every night, and maybe do one big night with a bunch of the Daily Wire people all at once.

02:00:37.000 It'd be really fun.

02:00:38.000 I wouldn't invite Knowles to something like that.

02:00:40.000 No, not him.

02:00:42.000 No, he's a mess.

02:00:43.000 I want to do a theology debate at some point with Seamus and Michael Knowles, and we've had some other brilliant Catholics and Christians and other... I don't know about Knowles, but I appreciate the compliment.

02:00:53.000 No, I mean, honestly, Knowles is... I hate to compliment him.

02:00:57.000 He's a smart guy.

02:00:58.000 I like that guy.

02:00:58.000 Yeah, I'd love to... Hey, shout out to Matt Walsh on Dr. Phil, too.

02:01:02.000 That was great.

02:01:03.000 Dude, shout out to The Daily Wire for standing up to the mandates, man.

02:01:05.000 These Catholic political commentators, they're crushing it.

02:01:08.000 Ben?

02:01:09.000 Shapiro, you took a mega risk.

02:01:13.000 Jeremy, nice job guys.

02:01:16.000 They won.

02:01:18.000 We got one more right here.

02:01:19.000 It's an important one.

02:01:20.000 Mike says, convoy to Ottawa is going to be a huge story.

02:01:24.000 Need to get on that story.

02:01:25.000 Store shelves are beginning to empty.

02:01:27.000 Convoy is 3,000 plus trucks over 50 miles long.
