Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - "Ok Groomer" Sparks Weird Establishment Defense Of Grooming w- Will Chamberlain

00:00:00.000 Peace.

00:00:16.000 And I don't, I think maybe they're trying to make a semantic argument, like why are Republicans concerned about this greater concept, but it shows the naivete, ignorance, or devious nature that is behind the defense of the parental rights and, I'm sorry, the defense, or the protests against, I should say, the parental rights and education bill.

00:00:36.000 There's a reason why Republicans don't like grooming, because they like their kids.

00:00:39.000 You know, they love their children and they don't want predators coming after them.

00:00:43.000 And now we have all of these articles coming out from the left, from establishment media, defending these ridiculous ideas, like having adults have secret conversations with children about sexual things.

00:00:59.000 And it's just really strange how they're They have no choice, I suppose, but to come out overtly in support of these ideas because they falsely smeared the bill, they need teachers to have the ability to separate children from their parents for their ideology, but it puts them in a serious bind when the subject matter is, hey, don't groom, which means parents have a right to know, and now they're forced to defend this bill.

00:01:25.000 I think Republicans have principally gone after the issue.

00:01:29.000 I don't believe there was an ulterior motive.

00:01:31.000 I don't believe there's a secret definition of what grooming means.

00:01:34.000 Unlike the left that redefined white supremacy, fascism, and racism, for the most part, Republicans legitimately mean grooming when they say anti-grooming.

00:01:42.000 But of course, the left likes to redefine language.

00:01:45.000 This may be one of the most successful culture war campaigns because regular parents understand what's happening to their kids, which is why we saw this Election in Virginia.

00:01:55.000 We saw Loudoun County scandal.

00:01:56.000 We see a Republican win because these parents don't like what's happening in these schools to their children and they don't want it kept a secret from them.

00:02:04.000 That's what's happening.

00:02:05.000 So we have a whole bunch of articles about this because now we've got Texas making a big push for parental rights and education. 0.96

00:02:10.000 I'm hearing people mention Louisiana.

00:02:12.000 We've got Ohio doing the same thing.

00:02:14.000 We'll talk about that.

00:02:15.000 We've also got a very funny story.

00:02:17.000 We'll talk about more outrage over Elon Musk over at Twitter.

00:02:21.000 There is something going on in California with a bill that would prevent prosecution, criminal or civil penalties against a person if something happens that results in a perinatal death.

00:02:32.000 So what pro-lifers are saying is California is basically legalizing post-birth abortion.

00:02:38.000 Now, there was an amendment made to the bill, so we'll break down what's really happening.

00:02:42.000 And it is kind of alarming what they're proposing.

00:02:46.000 It's not the worst case scenario, many people on the right are saying, but it is still really bad.

00:02:51.000 So we'll get into all that.

00:02:52.000 Plus, we got polls coming in.

00:02:53.000 Democrats, it's looking really, really bad.

00:02:56.000 Even Chris Hayes is issuing a dire warning about what we can expect in the November midterms.

00:03:02.000 Yeah, the polls are so good they're preparing for Russian interference.

00:03:05.000 That's right, that's right.

00:03:25.000 Ian Crosland, the favorite devil's advocate.

00:03:27.000 I was going to try and take a devil's advocate position on this grooming thing, because I have a feeling people in this room kind of are in agreement about how cruel and insane it might be, but I don't think I can.

00:03:36.000 Seems too Soviet to me to get on board with it. 0.97

00:03:38.000 Ian's like, how can I support what they're saying?

00:03:40.000 How can I understand?

00:03:41.000 Not this time.

00:03:42.000 No.

00:03:43.000 Understanding their mentalities is the first step, but let's go there.

00:03:46.000 Well, I am very concerned about their mentality.

00:03:48.000 I don't think they're coming from a place of good faith, so we'll read some of those articles and see what they're up to.

00:03:52.000 Yes, but before we get started, head over, my friends, to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our journalists and the hard work they do every day.

00:04:20.000 That grassroots marketing is tremendously powerful.

00:04:23.000 It's something these big networks don't have.

00:04:25.000 You ever notice the New York Times, with their 10 or whatever million followers on Twitter, can't get retweets?

00:04:30.000 It's because they have no support.

00:04:31.000 People just know who they are.

00:04:33.000 Let's change that up.

00:04:34.000 Share the show if you want to help out.

00:04:35.000 Let's jump into this first story.

00:04:38.000 Behold one of the most absurd articles you will ever see from the week.

00:04:43.000 Why are Republicans so concerned about grooming?

00:04:46.000 I just want to pause real quick.

00:04:47.000 What a great question.

00:04:49.000 This headline should make it clear to any and everyone That there are two distinct universes that exist in terms of morality.

00:04:58.000 There is no conservative, post-liberal, libertarian, civil libertarian, whatever, who would question why grooming is bad.

00:05:05.000 But apparently, to the establishment left, to the corporate left, democrat, whatever, and many leftists who would defend this, they're outright just like, why are you mad about your kids being groomed?

00:05:16.000 Yeah.

00:05:18.000 The morality is just, it's just set, it's parallel realities.

00:05:21.000 The most charitable possible interpretation you could give to this article is that he's essentially saying that this grooming isn't happening and it's moral hysteria, right?

00:05:29.000 That seems to be what he delineates in this article.

00:05:32.000 So yeah, here's the question.

00:05:33.000 Why would Republicans be concerned about grooming?

00:05:35.000 Is it the case that Florida tried to pass or did pass a parental rights and education bill that said you can't talk to 48 year olds about sexuality then tell them don't tell your parents after you have a conversation with them about sexuality and perverted ideas and then the entire media said that that was wrong and we should oppose it?

00:05:49.000 Oh wait, it is!

00:05:50.000 So it's perfectly reasonable!

00:05:52.000 Let's make sure we preface this with there was a bill that was passed in Florida It says, classroom instruction on orientation and identity is prohibited kindergarten through third grade or in a manner that is not age appropriate.

00:06:06.000 It further clarifies that in any instance of treatment given to a child for mental, medical, or physical reasons, the parents must be informed and the school and its employees can't encourage children to withhold information and must provide information to parents on certain issues.

00:06:22.000 The parents have a right to sue.

00:06:24.000 Now, when that happened, what did the establishment media come out and say? 0.80

00:06:28.000 Yo, why do you hate gay people? 0.97

00:06:29.000 Yep. 0.98

00:06:29.000 And I was like, whoa, whoa, wait, hold on, hold on a minute. 0.98

00:06:32.000 You know, we're like, hey, we don't, we don't like, you know, creepos coming after our kids, and they're like, you hate gay people! 0.96

00:06:37.000 It's like, that association happened in your mind. 0.97

00:06:40.000 Yes.

00:06:41.000 Yeah, like this is, it reminds me of, you know, the Kevin Spacey thing when he was, you know, accused of pedophilia, and he was like, let me admit, I am a gay man.

00:06:52.000 That's right.

00:06:53.000 Very bold, right?

00:06:54.000 Very bold.

00:06:55.000 So this is, I think, you know, they tried what actually was extremely reckless rhetorical gambit, right?

00:07:00.000 For Spacey, though, it was just assaulting dudes.

00:07:03.000 I don't think they were kids.

00:07:04.000 I think they were, like, actors.

00:07:06.000 Teenagers.

00:07:06.000 Were they underage?

00:07:07.000 I'm pretty sure, yeah, that there was some reports of him trying to, like, seduce underage males.

00:07:12.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:07:13.000 Well, that's the case.

00:07:14.000 Yeah, so that was why it was like, I'm going to admit I'm a gay man was such a joke.

00:07:18.000 Yeah, like, everyone's like, did you do it?

00:07:20.000 And he goes, I'm gay. 0.77

00:07:23.000 Not responsive, bro.

00:07:24.000 I don't know what that has to do.

00:07:25.000 So yeah, right.

00:07:26.000 So here's what I would say about this article.

00:07:28.000 I'm not interested in trying to give the benefit of the doubt to people who would call all of us fascists or Nazis or white supremacists.

00:07:39.000 So when they read an article that says, why are Republicans so concerned about grooming?

00:07:43.000 Do they not realize what they're saying with that headline to the average person?

00:07:47.000 Does the average person understand they're talking about a semantic debate?

00:07:50.000 And I'm not going to go ahead and assume it.

00:07:52.000 He actually writes in the article that it's hard to know how much of this is sincere hysteria and how much is ugly McCarthyist politics.

00:07:59.000 Or, uh, how about, this dude is so out of touch, the left is so in favor of grooming, they can't see it as grooming or being bad.

00:08:07.000 That's what I'm saying, Jim.

00:08:08.000 I think this spawns from, uh, guidance counseling in high school.

00:08:11.000 When I went to high school, it was like, if you're getting abused at home, you can come talk to the guidance counselor, and in confidentiality, they'll report it to the police for you, kind of thing.

00:08:19.000 So, like, your parents aren't going to destroy you for And that's why I think this mentality is like, if you think you're trans and you're six, then it's abusive for your parent to tell you it's not mentality.

00:08:29.000 And so they're trying to do this behind the parent's back because they don't want the kid to suffer abuse, but it's not the same thing.

00:08:35.000 It's not abuse.

00:08:36.000 Look, these parents are going to be with these children for 79 years.

00:08:39.000 Well, probably the parents will die before then, but let's just say average life expectancy, average, you know, 55 to 60 years, the parents will be with their children their entire lives.

00:08:49.000 How about that?

00:08:49.000 The teachers?

00:08:50.000 One year.

00:08:51.000 One year.

00:08:52.000 So, how about if a five to nine year old says something, the teacher says, maybe this is something that's best suited for your parents to figure out with you, because they're going to be with you for the next decade, you know, as you go through these issues in school, your parents will be a constant for the entirety of your school career or whatever.

00:09:10.000 We'll only be one year out of the whole, the entirety of it.

00:09:12.000 And then the kid goes, but I'm afraid to tell my parents.

00:09:15.000 And then, so it spawns from that.

00:09:16.000 And the kid's like, well, they're afraid.

00:09:17.000 We can't make them do something they're afraid to do.

00:09:18.000 And the teacher should say, you should never be scared of your parents.

00:09:21.000 Yeah, a good teacher would do that.

00:09:22.000 But, if parents are beating their kids, then they should say, we're gonna call, you know, child services.

00:09:28.000 Right, a good faith exception sort of ends up swallowing, like, the normal behavior.

00:09:32.000 And, again, like, the arrogance here of these teachers to be like, well, no, I should be able to talk about, you know, instruct these kids on sexual orientation, and I should be able to have secret conversations about their gender identity.

00:09:43.000 Like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:09:44.000 This is not your child.

00:09:46.000 There's a parent.

00:09:47.000 And I think it's not a surprise that all these people are, like, single or childless.

00:09:51.000 I gotta go at this semantic argument real quick.

00:09:56.000 Obviously, people are gonna argue on the left that the article is not suggesting that they don't understand why grooming is bad.

00:10:02.000 They talk about all that stuff in there.

00:10:03.000 The article itself is trying to separate what grooming means into something else.

00:10:09.000 Yes, that's why it's in quotes.

00:10:10.000 What they're trying to do is when... Again, I hate saying conservative.

00:10:15.000 Trying to redefine it.

00:10:15.000 You're right already.

00:10:17.000 They're trying to redefine what the word means.

00:10:19.000 When we see photos of... There's that photo of that little boy with the adult naked man.

00:10:23.000 You remember that one?

00:10:25.000 And it's like a drag show. 0.96

00:10:26.000 And the left was like, this is fine. 0.92

00:10:27.000 And I'm like, the dude is buck naked.

00:10:29.000 Or there's the Desmond kid who is stripping on stage. 0.62

00:10:33.000 But that's just a drag show. 1.00

00:10:34.000 I'm like, no, it's not.

00:10:36.000 If anyone who's ever been across this country and knows what strip clubs are like, there are fully clothed strip clubs where the women can't get naked, there are topless bars, and there are fully nude bars. 1.00

00:10:46.000 That means strip clubs actually exist where the women just take off their clothes to their under layers, which is exactly what that little boy was doing. 0.98

00:10:54.000 They are doing child stripping and they're like, how's that grooming?

00:10:57.000 When conservatives, post-liberals, whatever this faction is, says, we don't want teachers having conversations about sexual concepts to children, it's just that.

00:11:07.000 Because this is what they're pushing for.

00:11:10.000 When they then come out and say, what could they possibly mean by grooming?

00:11:13.000 Yeah, so... Yeah, no, they're lying.

00:11:15.000 It's interesting, they kind of answer their own question here, and I want to make another point first.

00:11:19.000 On this whole point about not being sure how much is sincere hysteria and how much is ugly McCarthyist politics, that's rich coming from a member of the party which spent years calling us Russian agents for disagreeing with them, but... They still do it!

00:11:32.000 Then they still do.

00:11:32.000 So in this article, he says that this is dishonest, because most Americans will hear the term, referring to Groomer, And understand it to mean something much more violent than, quote, encouraging kids to question their sexuality in the church, unquote.

00:11:44.000 Here's the thing.

00:11:45.000 If you ask most Americans how they would label an adult encouraging a child to question their sexuality and then telling their child not to speak to their parent about the conversation, they would label that grooming.

00:11:58.000 It is a completely fair term.

00:11:59.000 In fact, it is the most accurate possible term to use in that situation.

00:12:02.000 You ever watch Law & Order SVU?

00:12:05.000 Yes.

00:12:05.000 In the criminal justice system.

00:12:07.000 That's right.

00:12:07.000 And there are many episodes where there'll be like a child victim, and they'll be like, did anyone tell you not to talk to your parents?

00:12:14.000 Did anyone tell you, you won't get in trouble if you tell us?

00:12:17.000 Because groomers go to kids and say, don't tell your parents I told you this.

00:12:20.000 If there's a 16 year old that comes up to your kid on the sidewalk and tells them, you'd probably see people go irate.

00:12:26.000 But if it's a teacher now, all of a sudden there isn't an argument that it's okay if it's a teacher doing it and not a 16 year old neighborhood bully, like weirdo coming up and doing it on the street. 0.97

00:12:34.000 What's the freaking difference, man? 0.98

00:12:36.000 Stay mad. 0.90

00:12:36.000 You know I again right you know the fact that there's conservatives who finally we have like this rhetorically very potent like description grooming and yeah I mean I do think it create has it there's a connotation to the extent this article is correct I think there is a connotation of like sexual predation in it but that's not the only that narrow definition is not the only thing grooming means that it you know encompasses the idea of grooming is you start slow that's the point But the issue with this bill in Florida is that it's 0.90

00:13:03.000 literal grooming.

00:13:04.000 It's not a conspiracy.

00:13:06.000 And what they're trying to do now is this guy even says, you know, it's QAnon.

00:13:10.000 And then they try saying like, oh, here we go.

00:13:12.000 The Republicans are all QAnon.

00:13:14.000 And it's like, why?

00:13:15.000 And they're like, Republicans are accusing Democrats of being pedophiles.

00:13:18.000 And it's like when.

00:13:20.000 Well, hold on there a minute.

00:13:21.000 When someone comes out and is like, uh, I would prefer it if the teachers didn't have conversations with children about sexual issues and then tell them to keep it a secret. 0.96

00:13:31.000 And they go, yo, why do you hate gay people?

00:13:33.000 I'm just like, first of all, what? 0.55

00:13:36.000 And why are you, why are you defending that?

00:13:39.000 Yeah.

00:13:40.000 In the literal definition, you know what?

00:13:43.000 It's just very, very simple.

00:13:44.000 The left redefines words.

00:13:45.000 And what they're trying to do right here is they're trying to take the word grooming, which is what is happening, and they're trying to take this one piece and move it out and move the goalpost a little bit.

00:13:55.000 Like, oh, no, no, no, this isn't really grooming.

00:13:57.000 Republicans are lying because technically if someone's having secret sexual conversations with children, that doesn't count because we're talking about LGBTQIA stuff.

00:14:05.000 I mean, but this is something they always do, right?

00:14:07.000 When it's an epithet that applies to their ideological adversaries, we're going to broaden the definition so that it encompasses their behavior.

00:14:14.000 When it's a definition that applies to our ideological allies, we're going to narrow the definition so it doesn't apply.

00:14:19.000 I mean, racism is the classic example.

00:14:20.000 Like, the redefinition of racism is first structural so it encompasses everything in society, but then Prejudice plus power, narrowing it so that when our ideological allies do things that are overtly racist, it actually no longer becomes racist.

00:14:34.000 No longer applies to them.

00:14:35.000 Right.

00:14:35.000 Like, it's just, it's just, it's just word games, right?

00:14:38.000 And so, you know, and all of a sudden they're mad that Republicans have a word that is just a getting traction.

00:14:43.000 Like, and then the worst thing, we have Washington General type Republicans, like, you know, I don't even want to call David a French Republican.

00:14:48.000 Washington General.

00:14:50.000 Right.

00:14:51.000 But saying like, oh no, we shouldn't use this word.

00:14:53.000 It's like, no, this is a very, it's a, one, it's effective, and two, it's perfectly justified.

00:14:57.000 You know what the funniest thing was?

00:14:59.000 Shout out to Robbie Suave from, he's from Reason, right?

00:15:02.000 And he was, he said something like, it's weird that people are saying students shouldn't know anything about their teacher's lives.

00:15:09.000 Something like that?

00:15:11.000 Was that what you were doing?

00:15:11.000 Yeah, it was, yeah.

00:15:12.000 I knew nothing about my teacher's lives.

00:15:14.000 Especially in those ages.

00:15:15.000 It's just the weirdest sophistry I've ever heard.

00:15:18.000 Like, no one cares.

00:15:20.000 No one is arguing.

00:15:21.000 Students shouldn't know about their teacher's lives!

00:15:23.000 They're like, you know, I don't care if the kids know the teacher has a boyfriend.

00:15:26.000 I care if the teacher is like, gather around children and let me explain to you classroom instruction on these issues and you're five years old.

00:15:33.000 It's like, I don't know if you've seen Recent Soundpark, but Mr. Garrison has been talking about his, like, gay relationship in the third grade class.

00:15:40.000 I mean, he's always done that.

00:15:43.000 Right.

00:15:43.000 Yeah, like, it's literally like, but that's, I think that's ultimately what they're trying to justify.

00:15:47.000 We're South Park.

00:15:48.000 We're South Park.

00:15:49.000 Remember the episode where Mr. Garrison, he transitions, he becomes a trans woman. 0.97

00:15:56.000 And then he goes on a date and then he comes in and Mrs. Garrison is all angry because all men are pigs and then tells them they have to do weekend book report on the old man in the sea. 0.83

00:16:09.000 And it was like South Park actually made jokes about the idea that the teacher would be yelling at the kids about sexual personal issues. 0.94

00:16:18.000 And that was supposed to be comical in that it's not real life.

00:16:21.000 I think a lot of kids saw that and it just wrote code in their brain that it was real.

00:16:25.000 That's the problem with parody.

00:16:26.000 And if that cartoon was not a cartoon, was a real-life show, I think people cannot... It's not the children who are enacting it, it's the adults who are enacting it.

00:16:32.000 Tiny kids can't tell the difference between comedy and normal stuff.

00:16:35.000 Okay, well, hold on.

00:16:35.000 You're talking about something totally off.

00:16:37.000 I'm talking about the kids that are now teachers were watching that crap back in the day and thinking... It was writing in their brain like, this is normal, this is normal. 0.97

00:16:43.000 It was like 10 years ago.

00:16:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:16:45.000 So they were like 10.

00:16:46.000 But, um...

00:16:47.000 If South Park was a real show with real actors, that scene wouldn't have flown.

00:16:53.000 It would have been shut down by the ACLU or whoever would have went after him hard.

00:16:56.000 But because it's a cartoon, all of a sudden you can do this grotesque comedy.

00:17:00.000 I will say, one of the weirdest things about South Park is that they have overtly sexual situations between 10-year-olds on that show all the time.

00:17:07.000 I always thought that was weird.

00:17:10.000 That's for adults.

00:17:11.000 It's a show about kids for adults.

00:17:14.000 And the kids aren't necessarily meant to be in childish situations.

00:17:19.000 They're often in adult situations.

00:17:21.000 Still, I find that weird.

00:17:23.000 It's just a weird circumstance with the show.

00:17:26.000 But considering the show isn't overtly about that, I'm kind of like, whatever.

00:17:29.000 We got Big Mouth 2.

00:17:30.000 Big Mouth is messed up.

00:17:31.000 They animate it and it's like, okay, it's just a joke because it's animated, but it's still training people.

00:17:36.000 When South Park does one joke about Butters and Cartman, and it's supposed to be, like, shockingly grotesque and offensive, I'm like, man, they really pushed the line on this one.

00:17:45.000 But the show isn't overtly about this.

00:17:46.000 When Big Mouth is literally a show about children engaging in sexual activities, I'm like, why would someone want to watch that?

00:17:53.000 You made a great point that it's a show about kids for adults.

00:17:56.000 That's very important.

00:17:57.000 It's like an R-rated cartoon.

00:17:59.000 So is Big Mouth, and Big Mouth is messed up.

00:18:02.000 I mean, there are some things that are so depraved that they shouldn't be on television.

00:18:05.000 Have you ever seen Big Mouth?

00:18:06.000 No.

00:18:07.000 I cannot understand why people are like... Look, I gotta tell you, man, like I was saying early on, the moral universes are just distinct.

00:18:16.000 Big Mouth is basically a bunch of kids going through puberty.

00:18:19.000 And there's the puberty monster, it's a male and a female, and they're always trying to encourage them to do these things or whatever.

00:18:24.000 I've seen a couple episodes because I went to someone's house who was playing it, and I immediately was like, yo, this is like a nasty show, bro.

00:18:29.000 I don't want to see a show, even if it's cartoon characters, there's like a 12-year-old boy beating it in a bathroom, and like, that's the joke.

00:18:36.000 I'm like, that's not a joke, that's just gross.

00:18:39.000 People want to watch that?

00:18:41.000 Hey man, look, maybe I'm a square these days.

00:18:43.000 No, no. 0.92

00:18:44.000 That's disgusting.

00:18:44.000 I thought the same thing when I saw that show.

00:18:46.000 Well, look at Cuties. 0.97

00:18:47.000 I think there's a trend here with what they're doing.

00:18:49.000 Yeah.

00:18:50.000 And they defended that to the death, too.

00:18:52.000 They defended Cuties like crazy. 0.99

00:18:53.000 Yeah, well, and for a little while on the left they were calling this, what, pedophilia hysteria?

00:18:57.000 And now we're seeing a little bit of a resurgence of that.

00:18:59.000 And what people are concerned about with the response to this bill isn't that it was just some small handful of particularly perverted teachers who took issue with it. 0.97

00:19:07.000 It's that That's sick.

00:19:08.000 dominant media culture came out against it and said, oh, of course adults have the right to have secret

00:19:13.000 conversations about sexual matters with children. 0.94

00:19:16.000 That's sick. It's not a moral panic to say that there's something deeply wrong

00:19:20.000 with the social fabric of this country and we need to address it.

00:19:22.000 It feels like the term groomer has sparked something in people.

00:19:25.000 And I was telling Lydia before, it feels like cold water is splashed on these people's faces, the way they're reacting to it.

00:19:30.000 Like they're shaken, they're afraid.

00:19:31.000 And they're like, why is this even like the guy's article that we just read?

00:19:33.000 He wasn't saying that the conservatives are wrong for saying grooming.

00:19:37.000 He's like, what's the big deal about it?

00:19:39.000 Like he's genuinely asking the question because he wants to figure it out.

00:19:42.000 Somebody super chatted us this.

00:19:43.000 They said, um, why is everyone forgetting about the gay men's chorus?

00:19:46.000 And I was like, we'll convert your children. 0.98

00:19:47.000 I was just going to mention that.

00:19:49.000 And, and, and it's like, they said it was the group defended itself calling the video tongue in cheek humor, but it's like, yo, you said we're coming for your children.

00:19:55.000 You think we'll corrupt your kids.

00:19:57.000 If our agenda goes unchecked, funny justice, once you're correct, we'll convert your children happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly.

00:20:03.000 And you'll barely notice it.

00:20:04.000 You can keep them from disco.

00:20:05.000 Warn about San Francisco.

00:20:06.000 Make them wear pleated pants. 0.99

00:20:07.000 We don't care.

00:20:08.000 We'll convert your children. 0.98

00:20:09.000 We'll make them tolerant and fair.

00:20:11.000 And then they say, we'll convert your children. 0.92

00:20:13.000 Someone's got to teach them not to hate.

00:20:14.000 We're coming for them.

00:20:15.000 We're coming for your children.

00:20:16.000 We're coming for them.

00:20:17.000 We're coming for your children.

00:20:18.000 And then they, like, they do. 1.00

00:20:21.000 And then people are like, please don't, and they're like, you hate gay people. 0.98

00:20:24.000 Yeah. 0.76

00:20:24.000 Well, or those examples of teachers on TikTok going on about how they are going to educate your child on being on binary and alternative sexual lifestyles. 0.76

00:20:33.000 Can you imagine if some conservative group made this video, but about conversion therapy or something?

00:20:37.000 Or Christianity. 0.82

00:20:38.000 It'd be completely deleted off the internet.

00:20:39.000 That would be it.

00:20:40.000 Where's the Christian version? 0.99

00:20:41.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 Yeah.

00:20:42.000 We're going to teach your children values and make them worship the Lord and all that stuff.

00:20:46.000 They'd freak out.

00:20:46.000 They'd lose their minds.

00:20:48.000 Yeah.

00:20:48.000 No, the reason they're so upset is because we're over the, people are over the target.

00:20:52.000 They've like accurately taken this sort of like massive amount of like untoward behavior by teachers, by like adults of all kinds.

00:21:01.000 Right.

00:21:01.000 That should be in, should not be happening.

00:21:03.000 And they've labeled it with something, they branded it and it's now it's, it's a really, really sticky brand.

00:21:08.000 Check this out.

00:21:09.000 Let me pull up this story.

00:21:10.000 We have from TimCast.com, Ohio introduces parental rights and education bill takes aim at promotion of divisive concepts in schools.

00:21:17.000 So this was just from the other day and it's similar to what we're seeing with Florida.

00:21:21.000 Then we have this story from Texas Tribune.

00:21:23.000 Critics of Texas's push for a don't-say-gay bill say acknowledging LGBTQ people isn't the same as teaching kids about sex.

00:21:32.000 Well, hey, I agree.

00:21:33.000 So the issue here is that's not what the conservatives, the right, or people who were in favor of the parental rights bill did.

00:21:42.000 They did that.

00:21:43.000 They associated LGBTQ with this bill.

00:21:47.000 They said it's called Don't Say Gay.

00:21:49.000 Now they're complaining that people think they're linked.

00:21:52.000 Isn't that just funny?

00:21:53.000 It's like, the point I've been making since the beginning is that someone's like, hey, don't talk to my kids about sex in secret. 0.99

00:21:59.000 And they say, you hate gay people. 0.97

00:22:00.000 It's like, You created that connection and now you're complaining about the connection existing? 1.00

00:22:05.000 These people live in their own ridiculous universe.

00:22:08.000 Well, and it's also laughable too that they would think that bringing that connection up or creating it would deter people from opposing that bill as if I'm supposed to say or anyone's supposed to say who is a parent. 0.93

00:22:18.000 You know, I really don't want my child to be groomed or have uncomfortable conversations on sexuality.

00:22:21.000 On the other hand, it might hurt gay people's feelings if we don't let that happen. 0.96

00:22:25.000 Yeah, the extreme metaphor would be like if the Nazis put clown makeup on their face and then did what they did. 0.99

00:22:30.000 You'd be like, well, they're just joking because they look like clowns. 0.99

00:22:33.000 Like, you can't just say you're gay and then devious behavior is okay. 0.98

00:22:36.000 It doesn't matter what your sexuality or how you claim, what you identify as.

00:22:39.000 It doesn't matter. 0.99

00:22:40.000 A bunch of clansmen wearing clown makeup and being like, no, no, no, it's not about racism, it's about clowns. 0.99

00:22:44.000 Like, yeah, dude. 1.00

00:22:44.000 You just hate clowns. 1.00

00:22:45.000 You just hate clowns. 0.98

00:22:48.000 We're not buying it, dude. 0.97

00:22:50.000 It's a weird position, but the left keeps doing it, and I wonder if it's actually working at this point.

00:22:56.000 Because you look at the polls, man, people are just not having it.

00:22:59.000 Parents support the Parental Rights and Education Bill because when you read it, when you read the summary, when you read the simple language, it all makes sense.

00:23:08.000 It's so interesting to me that the first thing they say when you say this is not good and we don't want grooming is that you hate gay people because it seems to me like based on the chorus that we just, you know, talked about and I was thinking about that earlier.

00:23:19.000 I was like, they literally told us flat out they're coming for our children. 0.98

00:23:22.000 I feel like they're telling on themselves and they're like, well, you hate gay people. 0.99

00:23:25.000 And then they're like, we're joking. 0.99

00:23:26.000 Yeah, we're just joking.

00:23:28.000 Remember when those dudes went around claiming that they were Nazis, but then they're like, yo, it was ironic.

00:23:33.000 And these people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

00:23:35.000 Agreed.

00:23:35.000 Okay.

00:23:36.000 Neither do the people who are claiming to be ironic Nazis, either, truth be told.

00:23:39.000 Yeah, if you're gonna parody, I mean, I think it should be, it should say, parody on the thing before you load it up.

00:23:45.000 Like a Twitter account, you go to a profile, it says, this is a parody account.

00:23:47.000 You can't, like, have to sift through it to find out after the fact, was that a parody or not?

00:23:51.000 You'd be a good person to ask about this.

00:23:52.000 Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:23:53.000 I got, I got, I got a, within reason.

00:23:55.000 Sheamus is good at parody, so I want to know what you think.

00:23:57.000 You have to accept the satirical posts you make. 0.99

00:24:00.000 I know this because I post ridiculous garbage all the time. 0.99

00:24:02.000 I tweeted something like, Elon Musk is on the board the fascist- I was like, what if he just lets all the fascists and Nazis back on Twitter, and then I put a crying emoji? 0.99

00:24:11.000 Yes, I fully understand that some people may see that tweet and think it's real.

00:24:16.000 I don't care, because it's not that serious.

00:24:18.000 But if somebody wants to come out and make extreme statements like, we're coming for your children, or that they're Nazis, you better expect people to believe you're being honest about what that is.

00:24:26.000 People are going to believe your jokes, if they don't know who you are.

00:24:29.000 Yeah, so it's a good question.

00:24:30.000 This Wheel Convert Your Children parody isn't a parody in the proper sense because it's not as if they're coming out and saying the opposite of what they actually want to do, right?

00:24:39.000 So if I do a cartoon with a character named Republican Man who comes out and goes, I'm going to put cigarettes in Happy Meals and get everyone's children addicted to smoking for corporate profits or something ridiculous, that's a parody that's That's satirical because that's not something I as a conservative would actually be pushing for.

00:24:53.000 I'm making fun of the way left-wing people portray conservatives. 0.95

00:24:57.000 But what they're doing here is they're in some sense trying to poke fun at or delegitimize this idea that conservatives will say gay people will try to groom or convert their children.

00:25:06.000 but they do so by saying, oh no, we will convert your children,

00:25:06.000 Fair.

00:25:10.000 but they try to use flowery language to describe that conversion.

00:25:13.000 So they say, we'll groom them or convert them into being more tolerant or better people

00:25:18.000 or more accepting people, when those are really all just synonyms

00:25:21.000 for what Republicans are talking about in the first place, which is accepting sexual degeneracy or engaging in it.

00:25:25.000 If Republicans actually were putting some kind of addictive chemical

00:25:30.000 or advocating for it in Happy Meals, then I think the distinction there works better.

00:25:36.000 Conservatives clearly aren't in favor of addictive chemicals in food for children.

00:25:41.000 Except for high-fructose corn syrup.

00:25:42.000 Well, but you're talking about something a bit more nuanced, right?

00:25:47.000 So the issue here is, conservatives are like, I think you're secretly grooming my children, and then they make a video saying they're doing it.

00:25:53.000 It's like, okay.

00:25:54.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:25:54.000 No one's accusing Republicans of doing something bad to their children.

00:26:00.000 This is something the left does all the time.

00:26:02.000 They will, for years, resist the accusations thrown at them by the right only to come out and accept the accusation in a cheeky manner.

00:26:08.000 So they'll go, yeah, no, we are trying to convert your kids, but because they're doing it in a quote-unquote self-aware way, they see it as clever or acceptable when they're just telling us something that we already knew.

00:26:19.000 Like when Biden said he was Obama's vice president.

00:26:21.000 A couple days ago.

00:26:22.000 Like, obviously, he's not in control.

00:26:24.000 I think he doesn't know.

00:26:24.000 He was just joking, right?

00:26:26.000 But he was the vice president.

00:26:27.000 But he's making a statement about, it's kind of fact, like, Obama's way more likable and powerful than he is.

00:26:31.000 It's true.

00:26:33.000 Maybe not on paper today, but... I don't care.

00:26:35.000 We've seen this in other ways, though, too, right?

00:26:37.000 You can't look at...

00:26:38.000 So, people will look at these videos of Biden, and then try and push him to the most extreme interpretation.

00:26:44.000 I don't play that game.

00:26:46.000 People are like, look at this video of Biden being lost, and I'm like, he was looking for someone specific.

00:26:50.000 Like, he was supposed to bring someone up and introduce him, and he couldn't find him.

00:26:52.000 And so, when Biden's like, I'm the vice president, everyone laughs.

00:26:56.000 I'm like, I don't care if he said that.

00:26:57.000 He used to be Obama's vice president.

00:27:01.000 Now, when he says, Trinidad and Shabba to pressure, Badakaf, Karen, Nexon, Al Resin, I'm like, that should be mocked and questioned, for sure.

00:27:07.000 Yeah.

00:27:08.000 My point is that the left has a habit of denying accusations that Republicans throw at them to come out and either pretend to be cheeky or act as if they're bold by acknowledging that it was true all along, even though they spent years denying it.

00:27:20.000 So we see this with people like Beto O'Rourke going, yeah, we're going to come after your AR-15, yeah, we're going to take your guns, or what was popular among the left about five or six years ago, which is going, yeah, I'm a socialist, I actually do believe in that.

00:27:31.000 Because for years and years and years they've been denying it.

00:27:33.000 But then at some point they come out and they act like they're brave and bold and original for acknowledging the accusation that we have been throwing at them for years that they've repeatedly denied.

00:27:41.000 It turns out the slopes are in fact slippery.

00:27:44.000 That's the key thing to realize.

00:27:46.000 They would be like, oh, that's a slippery slope fallacy, actually.

00:27:48.000 We should be at a point where slippery slope is a default assumption that accurately describes reality, and then you have to prove that actually, no, this is one of Every every almost every single argument Patriot Act.

00:27:58.000 It's like it's a slippery slope to this.

00:27:59.000 Ah, you're overreacting and now that then you get ten years later that the the indefinite detention provisions in the NDA Do people really not think that in ten years like pedophilia will just be another sexual orientation like in the world?

00:28:10.000 It'll start digitally on the metaverse All of the people who come out in favor of it too are going to act as if they're either being cheeky or being bold in this exact same way.

00:28:20.000 We see this non-stop.

00:28:21.000 How long is it before some lefty writes an article about how actually the grooming that was being discussed all along is, in their view, morally legitimate?

00:28:29.000 And then act like they're bold for saying so when we knew the entire time that that's how they felt.

00:28:35.000 I think in ten years, this is the joke we've said, the Republican Party will be a bunch of transgender communists and the left will be metaverse, you know, what's the hive mind metaverse Yeah, we'll be trying to hold the line on pedophilia bad in 10 years. 0.94

00:28:53.000 We'll be fighting that debate.

00:28:53.000 Right?

00:28:55.000 Well, Republicans... No, I... Right, right.

00:28:57.000 But Republicans are gradually just giving in to whatever the left wants.

00:29:00.000 Exactly.

00:29:01.000 Well, hopefully, this is how we stop it.

00:29:04.000 Right?

00:29:05.000 Like, don't give up the brand.

00:29:06.000 Stay grooming, because it is grooming.

00:29:08.000 But the bills are simple.

00:29:09.000 They're simple.

00:29:10.000 It's not like what the left is doing with these nefarious tactics.

00:29:13.000 It's like...

00:29:14.000 Conservatives are just like, uh, we want to make sure parents know what's going on.

00:29:18.000 And they're losing their minds.

00:29:20.000 The downside is they're responding to the actions and they're not looking far enough ahead to see what's coming to prevent it, which is the metaverse.

00:29:26.000 Grooming in the metaverse.

00:29:27.000 Digital grooming.

00:29:28.000 Then you try to get haptic feedback machines where you can actually feel things on your body haptically.

00:29:35.000 Incredibly disturbing to think about a five-year-old with a haptic feedback suit being groomed by some old man on the internet.

00:29:42.000 So think about that.

00:29:43.000 You gotta start thinking ahead, guys, if you're making legislation and preparing and protecting from this stuff.

00:29:47.000 Ban the internet.

00:29:48.000 Just get rid of it all.

00:29:49.000 Everyone can use telephones.

00:29:50.000 I think, well, I think you're right that in order to fight against this, one of the things we absolutely have to do is refer to this as grooming.

00:29:56.000 We need to continue to use the proper language to discuss and summarize these things.

00:30:00.000 But on top of that, it isn't just enough to use the word.

00:30:02.000 We have to treat it as if it actually is grooming.

00:30:04.000 If someone says, I don't support the Don't Say Gay Law, and then you explain what the law actually is to them, and after looking into it and doing the research and learning what it means, They're still against it.

00:30:12.000 Stop associating with that person.

00:30:14.000 They're okay with grooming children.

00:30:15.000 I know we talk a lot on the right about how we shouldn't disassociate with people because we disagree with their politics, but this is not disagreeing on politics.

00:30:22.000 This is one group of people saying it should be okay to sexually confuse and groom children.

00:30:27.000 Those are not the kinds of people you want to associate with or have in your life.

00:30:30.000 There has to be a social cost that a person pays for supporting grooming.

00:30:35.000 I don't know if ostracization is the key.

00:30:35.000 I understand.

00:30:37.000 I don't know.

00:30:38.000 You might be right, though.

00:30:39.000 Look, that's what I've been saying.

00:30:40.000 There's two distinct universes here.

00:30:42.000 The left knows exactly what they're doing.

00:30:45.000 Imagine there's two battleships in the ocean, and one of them is firing Z-missiles, and they're just coming straight at the other and saying, it's getting bombed.

00:30:52.000 And then on that ship, they're like, now slow down.

00:30:55.000 We don't want to fight with the other guys.

00:30:57.000 It's like, dude, at a certain point, you just say, hey, why don't we leave?

00:30:59.000 Yeah, sometimes the fight is picked with you, and you don't get to choose.

00:31:02.000 Exactly.

00:31:03.000 As we say, socialists don't have kids, they have yours.

00:31:05.000 Exactly.

00:31:06.000 And this entire conservative commitment to never hurting anybody's feelings, or always being open-minded and tolerant towards other perspectives, including the most absurd far-left perspectives, uh... imaginable it doesn't really work with a lot of

00:31:19.000 issues especially issues like this people have to stand up against this is this isn't

00:31:23.000 just some abstraction are actually coming after children i am i am

00:31:26.000 genuinely convinced in ten years

00:31:28.000 or report the republican party is going to be a bunch of lgbtq i a complex

00:31:32.000 looking at because i'd i sit down and argue with conservatives about the

00:31:36.000 armored arbery case because they actually come in here and they're like i

00:31:40.000 believe that was all justified that the guy who filmed it is going to prison for

00:31:43.000 the rest of his life And I'm like, why would he go to prison?

00:31:46.000 And they're like, well, because they did it.

00:31:48.000 And I'm like, bro, if people on the right are still sending their kids to college, people with a straight face come in here, come on this show.

00:31:54.000 And they're like, yeah, mom sent my kids to college.

00:31:56.000 And I'm like, do you watch the show you're about to be on?

00:31:59.000 Do you know what is happening in your country?

00:32:01.000 Why would you advocate for that for your kids?

00:32:03.000 They'll be fine.

00:32:05.000 I guess that's the way everything goes.

00:32:07.000 goes just tired of being parents for eighteen years and are looking forward

00:32:09.000 to the breakers on the other part of the break is simple hey you're eighteen get

00:32:12.000 a job move out but in the part you gotta go to college to do that

00:32:15.000 i'm not but but that this is the point when use when you have people on fox and conservatives

00:32:21.000 saying you know i think it was So that they didn't look racist with the Kyle Rittenhouse thing.

00:32:26.000 They said, well, the Kyle Rittenhouse thing proves that justice is served and the Ahmaud Arbery thing proves that we all believe in true justice.

00:32:32.000 No, the right caved on the Ahmaud Arbery stuff because they don't want to look racist because many Republicans are more worried about the opinion of the New York Times than their own constituents and whatever else is, you know, they're worried about with big media.

00:32:45.000 Yes, which is why conservatives do not stand up for their own values, and which is why we are in a situation where if you are in favor of the grooming bill, there are zero social consequences.

00:32:54.000 But if you're against it, you could potentially lose your job, depending upon who your employer is, depending upon whether they're offended by that perspective.

00:33:00.000 People are too afraid to speak out against the abuse of children because they don't want to lose their job.

00:33:05.000 That's insane.

00:33:06.000 And the last time I was on the show, I was talking about this and I was very pessimistic, but I want to say this.

00:33:09.000 If you're an audience member who's watching this, I believe in you.

00:33:12.000 I think you have the opportunity to speak out against this stuff.

00:33:14.000 And I think you're going to do it.

00:33:14.000 You should.

00:33:15.000 I think the people watching this show are going to get fed up with this stuff, as fed up with it as we are, and they're going to be bold about it.

00:33:22.000 And I really hope you are.

00:33:23.000 It was a couple of years ago, we were talking about how you need to stand up against the wokeness because they're literally burning down cities. 1.00

00:33:30.000 People are dying.

00:33:31.000 And we kept hearing people saying, yeah, but I'll lose my job and I have kids.

00:33:35.000 Okay, well now the issue has escalated to the point where they're grooming your kids in these public schools and people are like, but I'll lose my job.

00:33:42.000 And it's like, okay, dude, look, if you are okay with your kids being at these schools where you know they're grooming them because you don't want to lose your job, then I don't think I need to advocate for any of this stuff to you because you're not interested in actually making things better.

00:33:53.000 I understand life's hard, but the crazy thing to me is that people once got on a boat For three months to come to a barren shoreline and many of them died just because they were like this I need a better life for my kids and now people are like

00:34:08.000 I don't know what I would do if I lost my job.

00:34:10.000 Well, like Seamus said, there's other jobs out there.

00:34:14.000 There's a path forward, but more importantly, I guess, maybe it's easy for me to say I don't have kids, and that's what everyone says, but I've asked this question of everybody.

00:34:23.000 Would you rather have a job and know that your kids spend eight hours a day with a groomer, or be homeless with your kid, not knowing where your food's coming from, and everyone always says, homeless with my kid, not knowing where my food is coming from?

00:34:35.000 So, that's it, right?

00:34:35.000 Yeah.

00:34:36.000 Yeah, it's true.

00:34:37.000 Yeah.

00:34:38.000 I mean, it's, like, but, you know, this is why we need laws, right?

00:34:41.000 Like, because, ultimately, you know, people need to be able to work.

00:34:44.000 Like, part of, like, what we're all trying to build on the right, I assume, is a world, again, where you can, people can sustain a family on a single income.

00:34:50.000 People can, like, not necessarily, like, not necessarily have to do child care.

00:34:54.000 And I think one of the basic, the basic functions of public education, especially, you know, those early ages where you're talking, like, five to ten, is child care.

00:35:02.000 Like, that's a basic function that the state is performing.

00:35:05.000 So that people can go off to work and not have to stay home with their kids.

00:35:09.000 I want to mention one more thing.

00:35:11.000 So I want to mention this because on last show when we did talk about this I said I was a little bit blackmailed and I was saying that there are people who really will watch the show and think about these ideas but they're too afraid to talk about them and reading the comment section it turns out there are a lot of people who insist that they are talking about these things in real life and at their work and I just You know, I really want to commend them because I know that's very difficult.

00:35:30.000 I know it's very difficult to do and I genuinely have faith in this audience that if you're watching this and you don't usually talk about this stuff, you have to and I really believe you can and will.

00:35:40.000 It sends out shockwaves when you communicate concepts.

00:35:42.000 You see it reverberating through our collective consciousness.

00:35:45.000 We're gonna talk about Republicans.

00:35:47.000 How about this?

00:35:48.000 We have this tweet from Poster Tubs who says, And here you can see it says, um, it just says, Latinks. 0.95

00:35:54.000 Here's the best part.

00:35:55.000 Latinx, latinx, in government documents you can't make this up. 0.69

00:35:59.000 And here you can see it says, it just says, latinx.

00:36:04.000 Here's the best part.

00:36:05.000 Take a look at this from, this is from STL Tribune.

00:36:08.000 Conservative group shares misleading video of Utah Governor Spencer Cox listing his pronouns.

00:36:13.000 The Zoom call was part of a town hall with high school students last spring.

00:36:17.000 Say, in April 2021, Zoom call of Spencer Cox, Republican, listing his pronouns during a town hall for high school students has spread on social media, after a conservative group shared an edited version of it.

00:36:28.000 How is that misleading?

00:36:29.000 It's literally him sharing his pronouns.

00:36:31.000 They go on to say, the original 30-minute Zoom call was part of the one Utah student town hall held last year, where Utah high school students asked the Republican governor questions about the state's COVID-19 response.

00:36:41.000 The edited video makes it appear the governor listed his pronouns right after introducing himself.

00:36:45.000 The statement is followed by the added sound of a sad trombone.

00:36:48.000 During the town hall, one student from Tuakon High School for the Arts in Irvins listed her pronouns when called upon to ask the governor a question.

00:36:57.000 She then asked what his plans were to boost mental health services in schools, citing a survey that found gay and lesbian youth face a higher risk for depression.

00:37:04.000 Well, thank you so much for that question, and my preferred pronouns are he, him, so thank you for sharing yours with me.

00:37:10.000 How is it misleading to show that he literally did that?

00:37:13.000 He did.

00:37:13.000 Right.

00:37:14.000 Because any, like, any real Republican would just be like, okay, and then not list their pronouns.

00:37:20.000 Right, uh, misleading.

00:37:21.000 Sorry, again, this is a new redefinition.

00:37:23.000 Misleading is something that makes a progressive look bad, regardless of whether it's truthful or not.

00:37:27.000 Exactly!

00:37:28.000 Right, so like, that used to be... I understand this actually has some reasonable, like, heritage in English common law.

00:37:33.000 It took a while before, like, truth was a defense to libel claims, right?

00:37:37.000 Like, that was some... Yeah, that was actually... Alexander Hamilton litigated that case, where he was the first, or was a lawyer who finally won the argument in American courts.

00:37:45.000 That's like, Hey, I guess we have this first amendment now, which means

00:37:48.000 that this idea that libel doesn't that truth is not a defense to libel

00:37:51.000 That can't be right, right?

00:37:52.000 So but that you know, it used to be I forget what the exact exact term of it

00:37:57.000 But what it's like libel used to be just statements that embarrass someone regardless of whether or not they're true

00:38:02.000 And you can sue for that. Yeah, you could sue for that right before this before

00:38:05.000 Wow.

00:38:06.000 Like before, really before the Constitution, even in the United States.

00:38:10.000 I hope people realize that could happen again.

00:38:13.000 We could find ourselves in a medieval situation where you get thrown in prison for insult what someone else receives.

00:38:19.000 That's crazy.

00:38:20.000 Shout out to Alexander Hamilton.

00:38:20.000 That's where we're going.

00:38:22.000 Right, yeah.

00:38:22.000 Hate speech laws.

00:38:23.000 Great guy.

00:38:24.000 People really, you know, I'm a big Hamilton guy as opposed to a Jefferson guy.

00:38:27.000 Like Hamilton actually like saw what, you know, Jefferson basically wanted us to be an agrarian slave society.

00:38:33.000 You know, I mean, he didn't like slavery that much, but he wanted that, and Hamilton was the guy who's like, no, actually, you know, we should have a really powerful country, in general.

00:38:42.000 Like, America should be strong.

00:38:43.000 Well, so going back to the main story, though, this is just another very common and typical erosion among Republicans who give in immediately because they're spineless. 0.91

00:38:53.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I usually joke that name a more useless Republican than Mitt Romney, right? 0.97

00:38:59.000 I love that tweet because everybody engages with it and lists more useless Republicans. 0.95

00:39:06.000 What's going on with Utah, guys? 0.93

00:39:07.000 This is a red, red state and we have this whack-a-doodle liberal governor and a whack-a-doodle rhino senator.

00:39:14.000 Also, imagine insulting yourself on that level.

00:39:20.000 Being a man, but telling people that you expect to be referred to as he, him, as if they wouldn't otherwise know. 0.99

00:39:27.000 What a ridiculous self-own. 0.89

00:39:29.000 If I was in a situation where, for whatever reason, they were like, you have to list your pronouns, I would absolutely just make up some really long and ridiculous word and be like, do it or don't. 0.92

00:39:39.000 Fascinating thing about pronouns is it's like, it comes out when you're not there.

00:39:43.000 Right?

00:39:44.000 How often do you're like, oh he, and like, they're not in the room.

00:39:47.000 It's like, the only reason you use third person pronouns is because you're not talking to that person.

00:39:51.000 Right.

00:39:51.000 Right?

00:39:51.000 So it's like, you want to control how I think about you when you're not here.

00:39:55.000 That's the craziest thing.

00:39:56.000 Which is, you're right, you're actually doing violence against me if you don't think about me the way I want to be thought of.

00:40:00.000 You know Ezra Miller?

00:40:01.000 The Flash in the DC cinematic universe or whatever, or whatever it's called.

00:40:06.000 Ezra Miller came out as non-binary, so all the news articles say they them, and it's like, Butchering the English language, but it's not even that

00:40:13.000 like Ezra Miller is my understanding is not trans Like just came out said you have to call me. They them. 0.98

00:40:18.000 They're okay like I understand if there's an argument for a trans woman who is

00:40:25.000 overtly passing and It was like what Ben Shapiro was saying about Blair

00:40:30.000 It would be very difficult or take a long time to explain why we use a male pronoun for Blair white in public to his

00:40:36.000 Friends, so he would just say she her it's the easiest way to go about things, but in you know literary or in articles

00:40:43.000 He would say he him and I'm like I understand that point I understand why it is simpler just to refer to someone as she-her if they're overtly feminine, or he-him for a trans man who's overtly masculine, like Buck Angel, for instance.

00:40:55.000 But when we're talking about some guy who's like, I'm non-binary, but he's still just a regular young man, Well, you can't just tell people I have to refer to you in a certain way.

00:41:06.000 You don't own that.

00:41:08.000 You exist outside of... I exist, okay?

00:41:11.000 You exist over there, I've never seen you, and yet I'm supposed to refer to him by pronouns?

00:41:15.000 I've never even met the guy.

00:41:16.000 Well, I don't know if you know this, Tim, but as it turns out, you get to define your identity without anyone around you having consent to it, even though, by definition, your identity is how you fit into the group that you're interacting with.

00:41:26.000 Yeah, human society.

00:41:27.000 It's like the group that you're interacting with has absolutely no say in how you're perceived.

00:41:31.000 It's completely all up to you.

00:41:32.000 And if they disagree with that, they're just mean.

00:41:34.000 Until realism kicks in and the Ukrainian government's turning trans women back, because they're actually men that are now trans women, are they converted?

00:41:43.000 We need the strong muscle on the front.

00:41:45.000 I don't care how you identify.

00:41:46.000 There's always something interesting.

00:41:48.000 Sometimes the pro-trans lobby, if you will, points to certain societies and says, look, there's an example of In Ukraine, a female-to-male transgender person dressed up in women's clothing and then crossed the border to escape.

00:42:00.000 is because they're so homophobic that the only way that you can delay is if you transition.

00:42:04.000 In Ukraine, a female to male transgender person dressed up in women's clothing and then crossed 0.95

00:42:12.000 the border to escape because, I guess now, identifying as a woman, she didn't want to go 1.00

00:42:19.000 to war. And because of hormone therapy, presented hormone therapy presented as male

00:42:23.000 and would have got stopped at the border and then sent to go fight.

00:42:26.000 I find that fascinating that you have, basically, no matter what the circumstances, that you have trans women and trans men just trying to justify escape from the country in whatever way they can.

00:42:36.000 The trans women are like, but I'm actually, you know, a woman, so I should be allowed to leave, but they're not letting me. 1.00

00:42:42.000 And the trans man is like, time to dress up like a woman and say I'm a woman so I can get out of here. 1.00

00:42:47.000 Like, if you want to be a man, that comes with the pros and the cons of being a man.

00:42:50.000 Conscription has always been one of them.

00:42:52.000 But, you know, this is one of the big things that we saw at the turn of the century with the suffrage movement.

00:42:56.000 The women who opposed it were like, we don't want male responsibilities in our lives. 1.00

00:43:01.000 Which include, I believe, like the fire brigade was one issue in some areas.

00:43:05.000 Having the right to vote meant that you'd be called upon as a man to fight in the fire brigade.

00:43:10.000 They believed they could be drafted.

00:43:11.000 That was something that they feared.

00:43:13.000 Right.

00:43:14.000 And they will be.

00:43:16.000 Yeah, because it will be next time because if we have a draft, if we ever have a draft again, people are just going to identify as women to get out of the draft. 1.00

00:43:22.000 It'll be an easy form of draft opting.

00:43:24.000 That's a very good point.

00:43:25.000 And so you'll very quickly have to start drafting women too. 1.00

00:43:27.000 Did you hear about what's going on?

00:43:28.000 What is it, Pasadena?

00:43:29.000 Where is it where they're going to be giving UBI to people who are non-binary?

00:43:34.000 Yeah, so I was just thinking about that, and I was going to bring it up.

00:43:38.000 I think this is a brilliant bill for our cause, frankly, because they're only allocating about $200,000 to this program, which means they're going to run out very quickly.

00:43:46.000 Everyone get a buck.

00:43:47.000 And it's impossible to define non-binary because it's a non-existent, meaningless term. 0.71

00:43:52.000 So a bunch of people are going to say they're non-binary to get the money, and it's going to run out extremely quickly, and people are going to see how ridiculous.

00:43:59.000 It's just going to be another demonstration of how nonsensical the modern gender theory BS is.

00:44:04.000 Man, my dad was a fireman growing up, and I went to the fire department in some of the early 90s.

00:44:08.000 I think I was like 12 or 13.

00:44:10.000 And there was a woman that worked there, and I was like, hey, how come there's a girl that's a fireman?

00:44:14.000 And he was like, oh, because women can be firemen, too. 1.00

00:44:16.000 And I was like, well, wouldn't she be called a firewoman?

00:44:18.000 He's like, no, they're all called firemen.

00:44:19.000 And then when I went to college, it was like, yeah, we're all actors.

00:44:22.000 Men and women, we're all considered actors.

00:44:23.000 We don't use the word actress. 0.96

00:44:24.000 It's ridiculous. 0.87

00:44:25.000 So I got it. 0.93

00:44:26.000 I mean, it doesn't really matter what you call yourself.

00:44:27.000 It's more about who you are.

00:44:29.000 And I was like, can she carry the heavy equipment? 0.97

00:44:31.000 And he was like, no, she works at the desk. 0.79

00:44:34.000 Not that she couldn't carry the heavy equipment, she trained for it.

00:44:37.000 But it was more about less what you call yourself and more what you actually are. 0.98

00:44:40.000 That's what it comes down to when the crap hits the fan, my friends. 0.89

00:44:45.000 I've never really cared about the words people use to describe me. 0.99

00:44:49.000 It's the weirdest thing that people are like, you have to use someone's pronouns or else, but we're going to insult you and call you names all day and night.

00:44:54.000 Like, no, no, no.

00:44:55.000 You can't insult me.

00:44:56.000 I have dictated the words you must use to describe me.

00:44:59.000 That Bill 6060.

00:44:59.000 It's that Matt Walsh point.

00:45:02.000 It's violence and abuse to misgender someone to not use the proper pronouns, but to try to have secret conversations with children about sexually depraved behaviors. 0.63

00:45:10.000 That's not grooming.

00:45:11.000 Right.

00:45:11.000 Dude, isn't it illegal in Canada to do that now?

00:45:14.000 Bill C-16?

00:45:15.000 And then they passed another one that Jordan Peterson was talking about.

00:45:18.000 I didn't look into it yet, but apparently, like, if you misuse someone's pronouns, it can be a hate speech crime.

00:45:24.000 This is insane.

00:45:25.000 Hopefully I'm not miscalculating.

00:45:26.000 If I'm miscalculating this, let me know in the Super Chats or something.

00:45:29.000 Yeah, no, there's some bill in Canada that's, like, dictating independent media or whatever.

00:45:34.000 I think Jordan Peterson was tweeting about it.

00:45:35.000 They want to control what reporters and people with large media platforms can say.

00:45:40.000 That's where it's all headed because you saw what the CEO of Twitter said years ago, that we have to, it's about, it's not about free speech, it's about how the times are changing and we have to create a healthy conversation.

00:45:51.000 And it's just like, these people are, definition, megalomaniac, sociopath, psychos, all that stuff.

00:45:58.000 My worldview is the only worldview, my worldview is moral and just, and everyone must adhere to the way I see things.

00:46:03.000 That is psychotic behavior.

00:46:05.000 And sometimes it'll be the way we see things.

00:46:06.000 They'll do that cult thing where it's like me and a bunch of other weirdos that have my same mentality.

00:46:10.000 So we are stronger in numbers.

00:46:12.000 Let me pull up this story from TimCast.com.

00:46:14.000 Palm Springs testing guaranteed income program for transgender and non-binary residents.

00:46:19.000 The program is one of several in California offering specific groups of people with subsidized income.

00:46:23.000 So let me get this straight.

00:46:25.000 If it comes to the point where trans people, LGBTQ people, minorities are getting subsidized income, that just basically means white people Pay taxes to subsidize all of the other marginalized groups?

00:46:39.000 That's the end result, isn't it?

00:46:41.000 I suppose, in reality, it's everyone pays taxes, but it only benefits one group.

00:46:45.000 That doesn't sound right.

00:46:46.000 No.

00:46:47.000 They say, TimCastro.com reports, last month, the City Council of Paul Springs voted unanimously to allocate $200,000 to develop a guaranteed income pilot program for transgender and non-binary residents.

00:46:57.000 On March 24th, the City Council agreed to pay DAP Health and QueerWorks to design the program and apply for state funding.

00:47:04.000 Part of the three phases outlined in the City Report to bring the proposed project to fruition, California has already made a statewide commitment to provide $35 million in funding for Guaranteed Income Pilot Programs.

00:47:15.000 Like other Guaranteed Income Programs, the Palm Springs Pilot Program would provide direct cash payments to individuals to spend as they see fit.

00:47:23.000 It is set apart from some financial assistance programs that come with work requirements, etc.

00:47:26.000 etc.

00:47:27.000 I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

00:47:29.000 If you put this money up, you're gonna have a whole lot of people being like, oh yeah, I'm non-binary, sure.

00:47:34.000 How much do I make?

00:47:34.000 How much do I get?

00:47:35.000 Self-government in California has always been a huge mistake, or at least in the last 40 years.

00:47:39.000 Then who should govern it?

00:47:40.000 Yeah, right, like, you know, 180 years of statehood is enough.

00:47:43.000 I think it probably needs to return to being a colonial territory.

00:47:46.000 Split it in half.

00:47:48.000 Do you agree with that?

00:47:48.000 California would benefit from being split in half?

00:47:50.000 I mean, it depends on how you split it, right?

00:47:52.000 Like, you need to carve out... There's a lot of red Californians, right? 1.00

00:47:56.000 Probably more conservatives in California than in any other state because California is so populated, right?

00:48:01.000 So there's probably, you know, even if it's 60-40 Democrat, that's 8 million Republicans in California.

00:48:06.000 And we can use those reinforcements in Texas.

00:48:08.000 Sure, or anywhere else in the country.

00:48:10.000 In fact, that's what's happening.

00:48:11.000 A lot of them are moving.

00:48:12.000 I have so many concerns.

00:48:14.000 I'm from California originally.

00:48:15.000 I have so many Californian friends and acquaintances who are moving.

00:48:18.000 There was a proposal that would take the western coastline, which goes from San Diego, Los Angeles, up to San Francisco, and then that would be its own state, because the rest is red.

00:48:30.000 I wouldn't do that.

00:48:31.000 I would want to make it half and half if I could.

00:48:34.000 Give San Francisco to the north to be the capital.

00:48:35.000 Make it half and half, it's two blue states.

00:48:36.000 Because you have all that farm, it's two what?

00:48:38.000 It's two blue states, right?

00:48:39.000 You have to take both big metro areas.

00:48:41.000 But it's already a blue state, isn't it?

00:48:43.000 Right, but then you're creating two new Democratic senators for no good reason. 1.00

00:48:46.000 It's not even about that.

00:48:47.000 It's that you're not solving any problems by doing it.

00:48:49.000 I just don't see how, like, the Los Angeles government can govern the Redwoods.

00:48:53.000 Makes no sense.

00:48:54.000 That's why... Look, if you cut the state in half, you don't solve any problems.

00:49:00.000 You still have the Democrats who agree with the Democrats whether the state is one or two states.

00:49:04.000 You still have Republicans in certain areas being shut down and the residents of Tulare, for instance, Tulare County, being oppressed by the Democrats in the big cities and having their water taken away from them.

00:49:17.000 So if you want to actually solve the problems and restore people's rights, we tell all the people who live in these big cities, you got to be responsible for yourself and work out legitimate agreements for trade with the people who live in these marginalized communities.

00:49:28.000 But it's fascinating to me that they come out and constantly say, we must protect the marginalized communities.

00:49:33.000 But the entire structure of California oppresses the eastern desert areas, southeastern areas, and I cite to Larry specifically, because the state takes their water away from them.

00:49:43.000 Takes away their surface water rights.

00:49:45.000 The history of Los Angeles, the Owens River Valley is this place in northern California.

00:49:48.000 Fascinating history.

00:49:49.000 So William Mulholland, who they named Mulholland Drive after, went and he basically got them to Sign over their water rights in the Owens River Valley.

00:49:56.000 So then he diverted their river their water.

00:49:58.000 Yeah, LA shouldn't exist as it does No, it doesn't it's from outside water sources It annihilated the lives of all these farmers in the Owens River Valley And then there was a giant flood the dam broke and all these people died It's a horrific story and that's that that's the beginning of Los Angeles as we know it today It's got it's got lush greenery and and California is a gorgeous state.

00:50:20.000 PG&E is running all those wires through the forest.

00:50:23.000 All those California fires, man, they're coming from PG&E.

00:50:27.000 They're not taking care of their power lines, so they're falling down and catching trees on fire.

00:50:31.000 They spent a whole bunch of money on sustainability and not on clearing the lines around.

00:50:37.000 We've solved this technical problem for decades.

00:50:40.000 It's like PG&E just didn't spend the money on clearing out the forests around the power lines.

00:50:47.000 I want to explain to everybody how it's going to work under this progressive utopia.

00:50:50.000 In California, I went and visited Tulare County.

00:50:54.000 I believe it's got 300,000 residents.

00:50:56.000 They have no voting power.

00:50:59.000 So, these poor migrant workers, all of a sudden, one day, their water dried up in their wells.

00:51:04.000 There was a drought, and I can understand that.

00:51:06.000 The farmers in this county weren't allowed to take surface water that they had a lot of.

00:51:10.000 I remember driving past these canals full of water, and I asked the farmer, like, hey, you got water right there?

00:51:14.000 And he goes, oh, we can't touch that.

00:51:16.000 And all the surface water goes right to the cities, because they just take it from us.

00:51:19.000 I'm like, how is that protecting marginalized communities if the wealthy elites say, we get all the water and you guys go screw yourselves?

00:51:26.000 We need to protect the farmers.

00:51:27.000 Yeah, if we had an electoral vote type system, representational voting in California the way we do nationwide, then Tulare County would have more power and that would force the urban centers to negotiate with them as to what they actually give up.

00:51:40.000 Instead, the urban centers say, there's more of us than there are of you, so we get your water.

00:51:44.000 They're at the end of a dying nation.

00:51:46.000 Not that the United States, no.

00:51:48.000 These people who think cities are the heart of the country are wrong.

00:51:51.000 It's the farms.

00:51:52.000 And you can now learn on the internet as if you have a city, you can get stuff shipped to you.

00:51:57.000 With drone shipping and the advance of drone shipping, farms are going to become even more central.

00:52:01.000 The fact that Bill Gates is buying up all this farmland is very concerning to me.

00:52:04.000 We're going to have to disperse that back to the people at some point.

00:52:04.000 Corporate farmland.

00:52:07.000 Let's just do it peacefully.

00:52:10.000 Let's bring it back to this story, and I just want to mention, they are extracting from the merit, and they are giving to the unmerited.

00:52:19.000 This UBI program and other programs basically say, if you produce, we will take, and we will give it to people for arbitrary reasons.

00:52:26.000 I mean, is that not socialism?

00:52:30.000 Oh yeah, that's pure socialism.

00:52:32.000 But it's gonna be a miserable thing, Palm Springs.

00:52:36.000 It's precursor socialism, I guess is the better way to say it.

00:52:39.000 It's the seeds of socialism.

00:52:40.000 It's the grooming process of socialism.

00:52:43.000 So you have a farmer who farms and he makes food, and then eventually they come in and they say, we're taking your farm away from you, you elite, and we're giving it to all the people who work here.

00:52:43.000 It is.

00:52:51.000 And all the people who work here don't know how to farm.

00:52:53.000 And then everyone starves to death.

00:52:55.000 Or worse still, they're like, everyone melt down your tools to make pig iron.

00:53:00.000 And then everyone starves to death.

00:53:02.000 I think that's been done before.

00:53:04.000 Yeah.

00:53:06.000 By the Soviets. 0.81

00:53:07.000 Hey, I got an idea.

00:53:08.000 What if we just did that?

00:53:10.000 Can we find like a town and just run someone as mayor and he can just overtly run on failed socialist Soviet policy?

00:53:17.000 Just to see how many people are willing to support him.

00:53:18.000 His name is Bernie Sanders.

00:53:20.000 No, but I mean, like, outright being like, we need to get everybody to melt down their rakes!

00:53:24.000 Melt down their rakes! 0.93

00:53:25.000 This is the only developed country in the world where we don't melt down our rakes.

00:53:25.000 And their shovels!

00:53:29.000 Jet fuel does not melt steel beams.

00:53:32.000 But imagine going to, like, Brunswick, Maryland, running for mayor, and your position is, we should get everyone to melt down their metal, because we need iron for the war effort.

00:53:41.000 And then they're like, what are you doing?

00:53:42.000 It's like, I'm just being a socialist.

00:53:43.000 That's what you guys want, right?

00:53:44.000 Socialist.

00:53:45.000 Or actually, I actually, you know, we were talking about if somebody actually did start running for office in our area.

00:53:52.000 And I was like, why, why, why is that?

00:53:53.000 Why is that funny?

00:53:54.000 People were like, hey, we should get someone that we know to run for mayor.

00:53:57.000 Wouldn't that be funny?

00:53:58.000 And I'm like, no, it would be awesome because we should be involved in politics and we should be running for office.

00:54:05.000 Do you want to do it Will?

00:54:05.000 Yeah.

00:54:06.000 What, move out here?

00:54:07.000 With you guys?

00:54:08.000 Oh, I don't know about running out here, but run somewhere.

00:54:10.000 Run somewhere.

00:54:11.000 I mean, we'll see.

00:54:12.000 Yeah, like, why aren't people being like, I'm gonna run for mayor?

00:54:14.000 Yeah, that's what I asked.

00:54:16.000 I live in Arlington, so, like, I would lose.

00:54:19.000 John asked her.

00:54:19.000 I mean, when I move to North Carolina, we'll talk about it.

00:54:21.000 With that attitude, you would lose.

00:54:21.000 Just run as a Democrat.

00:54:22.000 Run as a Democrat who opposes critical race theory.

00:54:24.000 See how well you do.

00:54:25.000 Right, yeah.

00:54:26.000 No one would go digging in my Twitter history.

00:54:28.000 That wasn't me!

00:54:30.000 Delete my Twitter. Wait a minute. John Astor. That wasn't me.

00:54:32.000 The John Astor went to New York City and then built Astoria.

00:54:35.000 He built a city, part of the city, and then just named it after himself.

00:54:38.000 Like, that's the way that's that's cool, because then, you know, where everything is

00:54:42.000 and you have control of, like, the layout and stuff like that.

00:54:44.000 You can do it right from the beginning.

00:54:46.000 You know, we should do we should we mentioned it before.

00:54:49.000 We'll make a coffee shop called the Coffee Beanie.

00:54:52.000 But then at 7pm every night, the sign flips over and it says Ian's Palace.

00:54:56.000 And then all of, like, the counters and everything spin around and changes into an entirely different building.

00:55:00.000 Ooh.

00:55:00.000 Wouldn't that be cool?

00:55:02.000 We're on the verge of, like, graphene pipes.

00:55:04.000 I don't know if technology's good enough to replace copper piping, but copper rusts and then you get copper oxide in your water, it's really bad for you and your skin.

00:55:10.000 Yeah, polyvinyl chloride, man, what do you mean?

00:55:12.000 Good ol' PVC.

00:55:14.000 I'm lost.

00:55:15.000 If we're going to build a city from the ground up, I want to avoid copper piping.

00:55:21.000 I don't know if... It's really nasty.

00:55:23.000 I mean, in Crosslandia, or Crossland, whatever.

00:55:26.000 What about like a denser metal?

00:55:27.000 Maybe something lead-based?

00:55:32.000 Lead?

00:55:32.000 That's denser.

00:55:34.000 I think lead's not a good idea.

00:55:36.000 And then after we lay it, we'll complain to the government and we'll talk about the poor children of Ian's Palace suffering.

00:55:42.000 And we need the government to subsidize the replacement of these pipes that we built.

00:55:45.000 What would you do at Ian's Palace the first night?

00:55:47.000 If I was saying Ardeen's Palace, it depends what kind of establishment is this.

00:55:50.000 Would I even be there in the first place?

00:55:51.000 What kind of seedy nonsense you got going on over there at Ardeen's Palace?

00:55:53.000 I can't do it without you, Seamus. 0.75

00:55:54.000 I mean, no, what's going on?

00:55:55.000 What's going on?

00:55:57.000 This place is going to be G-rated if I'm there.

00:55:59.000 I'm into it.

00:55:59.000 All right, perfect.

00:56:00.000 So what are we serving?

00:56:01.000 What kind of whiskey?

00:56:02.000 Well, all right.

00:56:03.000 DMC.

00:56:04.000 You said G-rated.

00:56:05.000 G-rated.

00:56:06.000 No, no, I'm not into psychedelic drugs.

00:56:08.000 Caffeine.

00:56:09.000 Psychoactive drugs now.

00:56:11.000 Ian's Palace, you'd think it was like a lounge, but you'd go in there and it would be just a bunch of people hooking and talking about graphene.

00:56:18.000 We're trying to figure out how to map inflation.

00:56:22.000 If you can redefine the second, what is it, the ideal gas law?

00:56:25.000 PV equals NRT.

00:56:28.000 Pressure equals volume times temperature.

00:56:31.000 You can then add some sort of expansionary variable to that so that you can get... Like right now, when a system inflates, Is anyone listening to me right now?

00:56:41.000 No, I'm listening, I'm listening.

00:56:42.000 We're waiting to see where you're going with it.

00:56:44.000 When a system inflates, it just goes out and in, and that's the ideal gas law.

00:56:47.000 It explains how to get water out of a system, but it doesn't explain fusion.

00:56:51.000 What's that hand gesture you're doing?

00:56:52.000 The heat that you're getting in the system that causes it to expand is causing it to expand faster, which causes more friction, which causes more heat to enter the system to expand faster, and then you get inflation, which is why you have fusion.

00:57:02.000 But people haven't mathematically written that out yet, and someone out there is going to do it.

00:57:07.000 Well, alright, let's talk about politics.

00:57:10.000 We have this tweet from Chris Hayes.

00:57:12.000 He says, was just checking on what happened in the 1946 midterms as the nation readjusted

00:57:18.000 after a historic society-wide disruption and inflation was 8%.

00:57:23.000 Don't Google it.

00:57:24.000 So I Googled it.

00:57:25.000 Yeah, of course.

00:57:26.000 And we found that the 1946 election resulted in Republicans picking up 55 seats to win

00:57:31.000 majority control.

00:57:32.000 Well, times they are a-changin'.

00:57:34.000 It's very different these days, the parties represent very different ideas, but I think it is fair to say, yeah, I mean, maybe that much.

00:57:42.000 Could you imagine if we get blindsided by a Republican supermajority in the House?

00:57:47.000 How many seats would they need to win for a supermajority?

00:57:50.000 Well, there's no such thing as a House supermajority, right?

00:57:53.000 It's 50-50.

00:57:55.000 Right, whoever gets 50% plus one can vote.

00:57:57.000 It's a Senate supermajority would be 60, I think, or 61.

00:58:01.000 No, 60.

00:58:03.000 And I don't think that's even conceivable given the map.

00:58:06.000 So, how many seats do you guys think the Republicans are going to need to pick up to keep not doing anything?

00:58:11.000 Probably all of them.

00:58:12.000 I'm being a cynic.

00:58:12.000 all of them. You know, but hold on, hear me out. If the Republicans actually are able...

00:58:16.000 I'm being a cynic. I'm being a cynic. I'm optimistic.

00:58:18.000 Let's be real. If they're able to pick up like 55 seats and just change the shape of the House

00:58:24.000 representatives, then they'll probably do nothing. Yeah, no.

00:58:28.000 Well, I mean, they're not going to be able to do anything meaningful because Biden's going to

00:58:31.000 veto it, right?

00:58:32.000 We're still gonna have a Democratic president until 2024.

00:58:34.000 They can impeach him.

00:58:35.000 I don't know, I could see him actually.

00:58:36.000 They could.

00:58:36.000 They could investigate.

00:58:37.000 That's what they can do.

00:58:38.000 They can do investigations now.

00:58:39.000 They should make the January 7th committee.

00:58:42.000 And I actually think, you know, I have heard whispers that Kevin McCarthy is actually gonna, like, go hard on the investigations.

00:58:49.000 And there's sort of, like, the Democrats have been I don't believe it.

00:58:53.000 him off so much over the past like two years that he's actually gonna go like

00:58:56.000 make them really pay for it a bit I don't believe it I don't know I'm just

00:58:59.000 right here if they make the mistake of making McCarthy speaker of the house

00:59:04.000 he's gonna be like I'm gonna go after these investigations and then he's gonna

00:59:08.000 be standing tall in the moment they're like and McCarthy has he's gonna go and

00:59:11.000 then he's gonna be like armed hard Yeah, I don't know.

00:59:15.000 That's more McConnell.

00:59:16.000 I worry about it, but who knows?

00:59:18.000 I mean, it could be... I mean, that's what they're gonna do.

00:59:22.000 I think there is definitely a lot of resistance.

00:59:25.000 I heard Matt Gaetz talking about this.

00:59:26.000 There's a lot of resistance into doing what the Paul Ryan Republican House did during Obama, which was just pass a bunch of bills that they knew never were gonna go anywhere.

00:59:34.000 Subpoenas.

00:59:36.000 Yeah, subpoenas.

00:59:37.000 Hunter Biden.

00:59:37.000 Testify.

00:59:38.000 Under oath.

00:59:39.000 Lots and lots of subpoenas.

00:59:41.000 Get to the bottom of Russiagate.

00:59:42.000 Get to the bottom of Hunter Biden.

00:59:44.000 Joe Biden.

00:59:44.000 Testify under oath.

00:59:45.000 Like they made Trump do.

00:59:47.000 Yeah.

00:59:47.000 No, just embarrassing investigations all the time.

00:59:49.000 They would still call it unprecedented.

00:59:51.000 Sure, sure.

00:59:52.000 Here's what happens.

00:59:53.000 McCarthy, primary the guy.

00:59:55.000 McConnell, whatever.

00:59:56.000 Senate.

00:59:57.000 I don't care who they are.

00:59:57.000 Just get them out.

00:59:58.000 Use primary.

00:59:59.000 Primary, primary, primary.

01:00:00.000 Across the board.

01:00:00.000 Get rid of everybody.

01:00:01.000 Bye-bye.

01:00:03.000 I'm looking up.

01:00:03.000 Ideally.

01:00:04.000 I'm trying to put my mind in the heads of people in 1946 when they did this.

01:00:07.000 It was post-World War II, so they're just getting out of this traumatic world war.

01:00:11.000 Harry Truman.

01:00:12.000 Was Truman Republican?

01:00:13.000 Truman was a Democrat.

01:00:14.000 Truman had not been elected, right?

01:00:17.000 He was a vice president.

01:00:18.000 What caused all these people to get voted in?

01:00:24.000 Just the end of the war must have been such a paradigm shift.

01:00:27.000 A lot of the sitting leaders got thrown out of office.

01:00:30.000 these people to get voted in was it my I mean just the end of the war must have

01:00:33.000 been such a paradigm I mean it real a lot of the sitting leaders got thrown

01:00:36.000 out of office right Winston Churchill got thrown out of office can I just say

01:00:39.000 something like an election in England I don't the Democrats claim the parties

01:00:43.000 switched in the late yeah he's Yes, they claim that during the civil rights era the parties switched.

01:00:49.000 So if the parties switched, what Chris Hayes is actually saying when he says don't Google it is that he believes Democrats are going to win?

01:00:56.000 Yeah, maybe they don't believe in party switch, I don't know.

01:00:58.000 that he thinks that like the party in power is going to take a beating.

01:00:58.000 Right, right, right.

01:01:01.000 Yeah right right right.

01:01:03.000 Like basically this is this kind of stuff.

01:01:06.000 People are people are not happy and want something different.

01:01:08.000 And that I mean that happened right.

01:01:09.000 Winston Churchill literally is the guy who won the war.

01:01:11.000 The guy who's the hero of Britain and he got tossed out in a general election.

01:01:15.000 Yeah.

01:01:15.000 Like yeah they hated him in the early days because they're like all he talks about is war.

01:01:19.000 And he's like, I'm telling you, the Germans are going to declare war. 0.94

01:01:21.000 And he's like, ah, that's silly, man. 0.80

01:01:22.000 And then finally, when the war broke out there, we need him now.

01:01:25.000 They brought him in when they won the war.

01:01:26.000 Like, we don't need him anymore.

01:01:29.000 Peace in our time, huh?

01:01:30.000 What an amazing quote.

01:01:32.000 That's Neville Chamberlain.

01:01:33.000 Right.

01:01:34.000 Right.

01:01:34.000 Yeah.

01:01:35.000 Oops.

01:01:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:01:36.000 Wow.

01:01:36.000 That's why it's called Peace and Prosperity because they're not the same thing.

01:01:40.000 I read a great book that was a fascinating take on World War II from Britain's perspective called The Phony Victory by Peter Hitchens and his basic thesis is Britain was in effect one of the losers of the war.

01:01:53.000 That Britain prior to the war had some pretensions of being a great power and post-war they were a vassal of the United States.

01:01:59.000 Yep.

01:02:00.000 um and they better know it and they basically like found themselves in a war situation where they were basically doomed their only hope was the united states coming to save them and oddly enough franklin roosevelt and the united states managed to extract major major concessions from britain throughout that period when they were in that really difficult period in like 1940 in order to be willing to help the United Kingdom.

01:02:23.000 What kind of stuff?

01:02:23.000 We were still not that happy about the war.

01:02:25.000 Bases.

01:02:26.000 Bases.

01:02:26.000 Oh, they gave us their military bases?

01:02:28.000 They had military bases in Newfoundland and in Canada, and we just said, you want our old destroyers?

01:02:35.000 Our old, not very useful destroyers?

01:02:38.000 Give us your land.

01:02:38.000 Give us your military bases.

01:02:40.000 Whoa.

01:02:40.000 You know what?

01:02:41.000 Was it a king at the time?

01:02:43.000 Was it?

01:02:43.000 Yeah, well, they had, I mean, it was, that was also, that was under Chamberlain, right?

01:02:47.000 When they were starting to do, I think, no, that was probably under Churchill when they were doing Lend-Lease.

01:02:51.000 I'm not sure.

01:02:51.000 I'm actually not sure.

01:02:52.000 Who was the reigning monarch at the time?

01:02:54.000 King George.

01:02:55.000 So was George signing over the land?

01:02:57.000 No, I mean, it wasn't up to him, right?

01:02:59.000 It's like, at that point, it's still a constitutional monarchy with, you know, prime minister dominating.

01:03:04.000 Technically, the king could.

01:03:05.000 Yeah, but it was still, it was still at that point where it's like the, you know, the prime minister's running the government of Britain.

01:03:11.000 And so, It was on Neville Chamberlain and Churchill to make the decision.

01:03:16.000 But, I mean, they were just, they were in a terrible position.

01:03:18.000 I mean, they could, they found a way to stop a seaborne invasion by Hitler's Germany, but they had no hope.

01:03:24.000 I mean, they got kicked out of continental Europe, had to flee from Dunkirk, and the miracle of Dunkirk was that they managed to evacuate, you know, most of their forces.

01:03:34.000 And, I mean, they had no hope of trying to, you know, reconquer continental Europe.

01:03:41.000 It's funny, I've read some of my grandfather's letters from that period, before the United States entered the war, after Dunkirk, and he's doing the calculations on America entering the war, and it's just staggeringly awful.

01:03:55.000 Because at that point, the Soviet Union's not in the war against Germany, and so people are talking about the United States entering.

01:04:00.000 And it's like, that's not, they're not going, there's no way that we could possibly do this because it's just, you know, us versus Nazi Germany and we're having to invade on a seaborne invasion.

01:04:12.000 Which is crazy.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, which like, and my grandfather's conclusion was like, this would be insane.

01:04:17.000 Like, we can't do it.

01:04:19.000 Man, I mean, if you think about it, storming the beaches was nuts.

01:04:23.000 I think it would have made no sense at all had the Soviet Union not already been in the war and been, you know, grinding up the German army. 0.82

01:04:29.000 Yeah, I mean, people often forget how the communists saved the world, and then they just malign those poor Soviets.

01:04:36.000 Poor Soviets. 1.00

01:04:37.000 But that's actually something they often say, like, Hey man, we helped in World War II!

01:04:40.000 And it's like, yeah, but you killed a ton of people before World War II.

01:04:43.000 Doesn't make you the good guy.

01:04:45.000 Also forgetting the fact that they were the ones who wanted to keep working with Hitler until he betrayed them. 0.62

01:04:50.000 Operation Barbarossa, when the Germans went into Russia.

01:04:55.000 They're like, hey, wait, you're not supposed to attack us.

01:04:57.000 I guess we have no choice.

01:04:58.000 I think it's funny, like, how many tens of millions of people did the U.S.

01:05:01.000 kill in the early 1900s?

01:05:03.000 Was it none?

01:05:04.000 I think so.

01:05:05.000 I mean, obviously people died at the hands of the United States, but it wasn't tens of millions, right?

01:05:09.000 Well, you had the Nazis, we know what they did, and you had the Soviets, we know what they did. 0.94

01:05:13.000 And then, here we are, like, let's team up with one of them against the other?

01:05:17.000 It's the weirdest, it's the craziest thing to me that, like, they were both just extremely awful.

01:05:21.000 Yeah.

01:05:21.000 But then we ended up having to fight, what, 60, 70 years, a Cold War, proxy wars all over the planet, because the Soviets were very much bad guys.

01:05:29.000 Yep.

01:05:30.000 Really?

01:05:30.000 I mean, really, it comes down to, uh, you know, the fact that Hitler declared war on the United States.

01:05:34.000 That, like, if you're looking at the, you know, there was another very fascinating bit of this book that I thought was really interesting.

01:05:39.000 There's that window between December 7th, 1941, and I think four days later, where Hitler declares war on the United States.

01:05:46.000 And Britain was freaking out because they thought we were just going to go to war with Japan.

01:05:51.000 And that's where all our resources were going to go.

01:05:53.000 That's where all the military investment was going to go, and Britain was just going to have to hold out Nazi Germany on its own. 0.90

01:05:59.000 And then Hitler declared war on us, and all of a sudden they just breathed a sigh of relief. 0.99

01:06:04.000 Well, I mean, the US was like, we don't really need to worry about war with Japan because we've got nukes.

01:06:09.000 We need our ground forces in Europe.

01:06:11.000 Your timing's wrong.

01:06:13.000 We didn't have nukes fully developed until, like, 45.

01:06:16.000 And it wasn't obvious in 1940.

01:06:19.000 41, that that was going to be like a game changer.

01:06:21.000 They had a meeting, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill.

01:06:25.000 I think Stalin was involved too.

01:06:26.000 It might have just been Churchill and Roosevelt.

01:06:28.000 They decided that they were going to focus American war efforts.

01:06:30.000 They all agreed on Europe.

01:06:32.000 We're not going to worry about Japan until later.

01:06:35.000 Well, I mean, they just agreed that the United States would take the ore in Japan and that most of the American resources would go.

01:06:42.000 But I mean, we built a hell of a carrier force.

01:06:46.000 We spent a lot of money and energy on Japan.

01:06:48.000 I think strategically, Europe was more allies and more forces to help.

01:06:52.000 If you liberate Europe, you get more assistance in the rest of the war.

01:06:56.000 And I mean, I think it was ultimately a priority, I think, like over Japan and the Pacific theater.

01:06:56.000 Right.

01:07:02.000 But Japan still got a ton of attention.

01:07:05.000 It's crazy how much Japan lost because they went to war in this way.

01:07:09.000 Oh, it was a horrible, horrible decision.

01:07:12.000 They were doomed from the outset in terms of their industrial capacity.

01:07:15.000 I mean, you know, more and more nerdy stuff.

01:07:17.000 But, like, from basically, like, we dwarfed their naval production by, like, 10 to 1 just for their theater, right?

01:07:25.000 Like, we were able to also produce everything we needed for Europe and then dwarf Japan's naval production, like, 10 to 1.

01:07:30.000 And that's, it's a naval war.

01:07:32.000 Like, carriers are, you know, Carriers are everything and we just, you know, they produced maybe like six workable carriers when we produced like 50 or 60 or something.

01:07:42.000 I mean it was just... I heard that they were on the verge of surrendering before we dropped the bombs on them.

01:07:46.000 Is that true?

01:07:47.000 Yeah.

01:07:47.000 Well, I mean, they were on the, you know, it's, it's not clear which caused the surrender, which was the Russians finally declaring war on Japan or, uh, and deciding to invade through Manchuria, um, or the bombs, right?

01:08:00.000 Because the first bomb went off and they didn't, they didn't surrender.

01:08:02.000 And then Russia declared war?

01:08:04.000 I think it was, I'm not sure of the exact timing.

01:08:06.000 They may have been deciding after the first bomb.

01:08:09.000 It may have been a meeting of, you know, the Japanese saying like, who do we want to be occupied by?

01:08:14.000 Yeah, I think it was really once the Russians invaded, I think that might have been plus the bomb, but the Russians invading was sort of like, oh, we're screwed, right? 0.69

01:08:22.000 Did they organize the American government and the Russians like, we're going to drop a bomb when you invade, like we're going at them with everything? 0.94

01:08:22.000 We lose. 0.94

01:08:27.000 I don't remember if that was it.

01:08:29.000 I think honestly, at that point, Russia might have been opportunistic because Russia wanted a seat at the table with Japan to negotiate territorial concessions.

01:08:36.000 And so Stalin might have been kind of opportunistic of like, oh, we think this war's probably going to wrap up soon.

01:08:41.000 Let's get in on the game and ensure that our territorial claims are respected.

01:08:45.000 Let's bring the war to a modern conversation.

01:08:48.000 We have this from Politico.

01:08:49.000 Quote, we see the storm coming.

01:08:51.000 U.S.

01:08:51.000 struggles to contain a deepening global food crisis.

01:08:55.000 Biden officials are scrambling to limit the damage from fast-spreading food shortages sparked by Russia's war in Ukraine, but they face complex political and logistical challenges.

01:09:03.000 I just want to say, I certainly, I've said it before, Putin has a lot to blame for the escalating prices.

01:09:08.000 The war, it's a tit for tat, and then all of a sudden you get sanctions.

01:09:11.000 Now Putin's saying he's not going to export agriculture unless it's to a friendly nation.

01:09:14.000 You've got the rising fertilizer costs.

01:09:16.000 All of this very much starts from this war.

01:09:18.000 However, food costs were already skyrocketing well before this war started.

01:09:22.000 Food shortages were already hitting everybody well before this war started.

01:09:26.000 I definitely think the Biden admin and the media are like, well, it's all Putin's fault.

01:09:30.000 It's like, nah, it's your fault too.

01:09:33.000 But, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're prepared for the worst because they're saying the word famine now.

01:09:37.000 It was the French foreign minister said global famine.

01:09:40.000 The, I think it was the UN health food program said, I don't know if he said famine, but even Biden is saying famine in Europe.

01:09:47.000 Famine is the word.

01:09:49.000 Oh boy.

01:09:49.000 Well, I think it's more like famine in Africa, right?

01:09:52.000 The problem being that it's food resources in Europe are like one of, are like key to providing food in Africa.

01:10:00.000 Right.

01:10:01.000 Sure.

01:10:01.000 the surface layer. Vladimir Putin says the poorest countries are going to be impacted

01:10:05.000 very heavily by this global food shortage. But of course it's going to impact us very

01:10:10.000 severely. It already is. In Spain they're already food rationing. In Germany prices

01:10:14.000 are already up 20 to 50 percent. So this is the funny thing.

01:10:18.000 You know, you just had a look when I said Spain was doing food rationing.

01:10:20.000 They're doing it at supermarkets.

01:10:22.000 I want you guys to imagine this.

01:10:23.000 Imagine what your life is going to be like when you go to a supermarket and you go to get chicken and there's a sign saying only one chicken item per customer.

01:10:31.000 Could you imagine that?

01:10:32.000 I could because it happened two years ago.

01:10:34.000 We saw all of these food shortages, and our supermarkets were doing food rationing.

01:10:39.000 You'd go in and it'd say, only one beef item per customer.

01:10:42.000 I went in and I was like, I wanna get some boneless chicken wings.

01:10:44.000 They're called wangs or whatever, cause they can't call them wings.

01:10:47.000 And it was like, a big sign says, only two per customer.

01:10:50.000 So you could get like, one thing of nuggets and maybe a thing of breast, that's all they would allow. 0.99

01:10:54.000 We're seeing that happening in Europe now.

01:10:55.000 It's happening in Spain.

01:10:56.000 Germany, as I mentioned, prices are skyrocketing.

01:10:59.000 So, with the lack of fertilizer, it's not just going to be poor nations that suffer.

01:11:03.000 Oh, they're going to suffer the worst.

01:11:05.000 Yes.

01:11:05.000 But I'm very much concerned about what's going to happen here in the U.S.

01:11:08.000 What's going to happen to cities when these people who are entitled, often morbidly obese, how are they going to deal with this?

01:11:16.000 What are they going to do when they can't get the food they want?

01:11:18.000 Hopefully they'll be looking up on the internet how to lose weight, how to fast, because the first three or four days of fasting is brutal.

01:11:25.000 But this is like, you know, this is different.

01:11:27.000 Like, you know, the COVID stuff hit our supply chain, right?

01:11:30.000 This is Europe's. 0.88

01:11:31.000 No, it's our supply chain.

01:11:32.000 We get a ton of our fertilizer from Russia.

01:11:35.000 Most of our fertilizer comes from Russia, and fertilizer costs for American farmers is up 300%.

01:11:39.000 That's fair.

01:11:40.000 I didn't realize that was a fertilizer problem.

01:11:42.000 And not to mention fuel costs, too.

01:11:45.000 But it also means, what will the Biden administration do for Europe?

01:11:49.000 Biden's already talked about taking our food and giving it away to other countries.

01:11:53.000 So we are going to be strained on this one.

01:11:55.000 Now the worrying thing is, people in big cities.

01:12:00.000 LA is so massively dense and the people who live in these dense populated areas.

01:12:04.000 They don't make food They you got the house after house after house isn't maybe a small garden But these people aren't gonna be able to sustain themselves in these big cities.

01:12:11.000 What are they gonna do now?

01:12:13.000 I don't think the apocalypse is coming I don't think it's gonna be like come November you go in the supermarket There's people punching each other for one can of beans maybe at some point in the next few years depending on how fit how bad things can get but it's gonna be like The way they're describing it is food costs going up 40% by the end of the year.

01:12:30.000 With inflation on top.

01:12:32.000 Last night I had a dream that I went, I saw the owner of the old restaurant that I worked at in LA.

01:12:36.000 I saw her and I was like, do you own this restaurant?

01:12:38.000 She went, yeah, and I'll get some food. 1.00

01:12:39.000 I sat down to get like a Reuben sandwich and it was $100 in the dream.

01:12:44.000 And I didn't think like, uh oh, I haven't been thinking about inflation lately, but that just like lightning struck my brain.

01:12:50.000 Dude, we went out to get breakfast out here and for like five people, it was like a hundred and something dollars.

01:12:56.000 And we went to a diner.

01:12:57.000 We didn't go to like a crazy place.

01:12:59.000 Prices were nuts.

01:13:00.000 I mean, prices, you can even just go to the grocery store, try and buy a pound of ground beef, it's like seven, eight bucks, easy.

01:13:05.000 There's a little barbecue shack by us, and last year, they stopped selling brisket.

01:13:11.000 And the guy said it was because it was too expensive.

01:13:14.000 He's like, there's no point trying to sell a $20 serving of brisket, no one will buy it, and then I'm on the hook for it, so I just won't buy it at all.

01:13:19.000 Do you guys think that- You will eat bugs!

01:13:21.000 You will live in the pot!

01:13:22.000 You think factory farming is a sin against God?

01:13:26.000 Well, I'm not religious, so we'll start there.

01:13:28.000 That's a Seamus question.

01:13:33.000 I was going to ask Seamus next.

01:13:34.000 I'm not sure how you're defining factory farming.

01:13:37.000 I believe there are ways that are more or less ethical when it comes to how we treat animals.

01:13:41.000 I was taking the stink bugs out of my room and throwing them outside, and they were dying in the freezing, and I asked God, am I going to burn in hell for killing these things?

01:13:47.000 And he said, you're going to If I'm going to judge you for anything, it's for factory farming.

01:13:52.000 And it was like, all of you.

01:13:54.000 It was the statement of like, the human race will be judged harshly for what you're doing to the animals in factory farms.

01:14:00.000 I believe it.

01:14:01.000 If there is a God, that he'd be pissed, or it would be not happy with the disunity and the disorganization of how we've corralled these things, stuck them with antibiotics to overgrow them and just suck their blood. 0.85

01:14:11.000 But listen, listen.

01:14:13.000 I mean, I will agree with you to a certain extent, just in a basic human moral position that We do bad things in the name of profit to maximize how much food we produce.

01:14:22.000 And now we have very, very cheap food and very, very fat homeless people.

01:14:25.000 So there is definitely some weird disconnect going on with our food economics.

01:14:29.000 At the same time, we need mass production of food to feed people so they can live.

01:14:34.000 I'm into stem cell food.

01:14:35.000 Have you guys looked at... Well, I don't want to change the subject.

01:14:38.000 Maybe on the after show.

01:14:40.000 Let's operate with the assumption that we don't have it right now, should we continue.

01:14:42.000 I mean, and I think, you know, it's not... Ultimately, it's not the chicken and beef that are making people fat, right?

01:14:48.000 It's the sugar and the carbs.

01:14:50.000 Twinkies.

01:14:50.000 Yeah, corn sugar.

01:14:51.000 The corn industry is like... You know what it was for me?

01:14:53.000 So, Michaela Peterson talks about how just switching to an all-meat diet.

01:14:59.000 It's not so much that the all-meat diet is good for you, but that it's an elimination diet.

01:15:04.000 So when I cut out carbs, I cut out bread, too.

01:15:07.000 And then I've been having some food and then testing.

01:15:10.000 It turns out when I eat no gluten, my whoop recovery rate is through the roof.

01:15:13.000 When I have bread, it drops.

01:15:15.000 So I'm like, that's it.

01:15:16.000 Bread's done.

01:15:16.000 We had that same conversation last night.

01:15:18.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:15:19.000 So when you when you do an all meat diet, yeah, that's good.

01:15:21.000 You're getting your B vitamins.

01:15:22.000 You're getting it.

01:15:23.000 But it's all the stuff that you're cutting out.

01:15:24.000 The sodium benzoate, the crappy preservatives that they don't even put on the label that they call natural flavors, you know, that they get from like a dissected bug or something.

01:15:32.000 You know what?

01:15:32.000 You know what I ate today?

01:15:34.000 Out in the yard, we have chives everywhere.

01:15:38.000 Everywhere.

01:15:39.000 It's amazing.

01:15:39.000 They taste so good.

01:15:40.000 It's nuts.

01:15:41.000 You can pick them right off the ground and eat them.

01:15:43.000 I prefer to wash them, so I don't do that.

01:15:45.000 But literally, we walk outside and just grab a big thing and just tear it off and then chop it up, threw it in some farm-fresh ground beef we got from a farm down the road.

01:15:52.000 Nice.

01:15:53.000 Man, that was... that's good eating.

01:15:56.000 I bring this up because when you look at places like L.A.

01:15:58.000 or New York, what are they going to do when food is harder to come by?

01:16:02.000 There was a movement to start growing vegetables in the berm area of L.A.' 's streets.

01:16:07.000 I don't know if you guys saw that.

01:16:08.000 There was a guy pushing for it four or five years ago.

01:16:09.000 Oh, like the middle of the streets where they have the planters?

01:16:12.000 Yeah, between the sidewalk and the road.

01:16:13.000 You know why that won't work?

01:16:14.000 Because people will just take it.

01:16:15.000 No, because it would fall on the ground, rot.

01:16:17.000 And then bugs come, yeah.

01:16:18.000 Bugs and rodents.

01:16:19.000 All over the streets, it would be a disaster.

01:16:20.000 But if you could upkeep it, like you could, the homeless people, you could give them money, that's a job incentive program, to upkeep the gardens and just have like city gardens.

01:16:28.000 Yeah, I mean, homeless people aren't... Or anybody, really, that wanted a job.

01:16:32.000 The problem is not...

01:16:32.000 Yeah, that's Shellenberger, right?

01:16:34.000 He's really good on this.

01:16:35.000 The problem with homeless people is not the lack of a home.

01:16:37.000 I shouldn't even just say homeless like that.

01:16:39.000 That's a they need or want that.

01:16:40.000 It's anybody that could use a job.

01:16:42.000 That could be a type of job as local farms, road farms or whatever you want to call them.

01:16:46.000 But they are going to run out of food if they don't.

01:16:50.000 I don't know.

01:16:50.000 I mean, like, most of those sort of, like, urban gardening type things are not, don't make sense in terms of scale, right?

01:16:57.000 The problem, I mean, you, they just don't understand how big, like, the farms that actually feed us really are.

01:17:02.000 They're massive.

01:17:04.000 And when you're talking about these small, tiny little urban plots, it's like a, you know... Yeah, exactly.

01:17:09.000 And like the most population-dense part of the country.

01:17:11.000 It's just a trivial contribution to the overall food supply.

01:17:13.000 I like rooftop gardens, but... They're cool, they're just not that meaningful in terms of increasing the food supply of a city.

01:17:20.000 It could like supplement your groceries, basically.

01:17:23.000 But if everyone does it.

01:17:24.000 I mean, it's a big ask, I know.

01:17:25.000 Grow your own food. I mean, it's kind of like duh looking back and be like they didn't used to grow their own

01:17:30.000 So what I was reading one article that said people should expect to be spending about a thousand dollars a month for

01:17:36.000 groceries What what is do we know the average spend for a family per

01:17:40.000 month on groceries? I can look that up because

01:17:45.000 For me, I don't I don't have a good barometer of a high grocery grocery cost because when we buy groceries

01:17:51.000 We buy it for the whole office, which is like 30 people So we spend a lot restocking everything for everybody

01:17:56.000 But I'm wondering what the average person is spending per month on groceries.

01:17:59.000 So, according to 20...

01:18:01.000 According to 2020 data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, that works out to $412 per month is the average cost.

01:18:09.000 So at least one article I was reading was saying expect your food costs to be over $1,000.

01:18:14.000 I read that people should budget an extra $5,200 per year for inflation starting now.

01:18:20.000 So an extra $500 or so bucks for food costs.

01:18:23.000 Yep.

01:18:24.000 We got this story from USA Today.

01:18:25.000 Get ready to spend more at the grocery store.

01:18:27.000 Food prices are expected to soar.

01:18:29.000 USDA predicts.

01:18:30.000 So here's the thing.

01:18:31.000 On top of the economy being in absolute shambles and people being more panicked about their ability to access food for the first time than they've ever been in our lifetimes, this complete disaster, the Democrats decide, you know what?

01:18:44.000 On top of this, you know what we need politically?

01:18:45.000 We need to defend grooming.

01:18:48.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:18:50.000 They're like, how do we get people to stop talking about the fact they can't buy food?

01:18:54.000 Defend something unconscionable.

01:18:56.000 You're right.

01:18:58.000 They should be focusing on sustained local food growth.

01:19:01.000 Like as a human, it should be like a human thing that the American government should be supporting a movement to teach people how to locally grow their own food.

01:19:08.000 And we have, we have a pawpaw season out here.

01:19:11.000 So end of September, October, there is so much pawpaw that it's just rotting everywhere.

01:19:16.000 And it's pawpaw.

01:19:18.000 It's like if you took a banana, a mango, and an avocado and mixed it all together.

01:19:22.000 So it's this like round green fruit that grows.

01:19:25.000 It's apparently hard to cultivate because only like beetles and flies pollinate the flowers, but they're everywhere.

01:19:31.000 So I was really excited to try it for the first time.

01:19:34.000 It tastes like a banana, avocado, mango just mixed together.

01:19:36.000 So you can make bread with it.

01:19:38.000 It's all over the place.

01:19:40.000 I just want to point out, man, how amazing it is when you're not in a city.

01:19:44.000 Because this is something I think city people don't realize, because I didn't realize it, and all the country people are sitting back with that straw in their mouth laughing, because they're like, yeah, there's food everywhere.

01:19:52.000 So I go outside, there's chives.

01:19:54.000 We take the chives, it makes our food taste good.

01:19:56.000 Then we have the berry season, where there's blackberries and wine berries everywhere.

01:20:00.000 You go outside for ten minutes, and you've got like two pounds of fresh berries.

01:20:04.000 And it's amazing, you can do everything with it, it's just delicious.

01:20:06.000 Obviously you need more than that.

01:20:08.000 But it's just, it's crazy growing up in a city and not realize you can just eat stuff outside.

01:20:13.000 It's just nuts.

01:20:14.000 People in cities aren't going to be able to do this.

01:20:16.000 And also people in cities unfortunately don't know where their food comes from.

01:20:19.000 And I think this is why we have folks who unfortunately think that a small garden like that can't sustain their

01:20:24.000 city or make a significant dent here.

01:20:26.000 Um...

01:20:27.000 There was a hilarious article.

01:20:30.000 It was actually a letter to the editor and I've quoted it here before on the show, but somebody basically wrote to their newspaper saying that it was offensive that they printed an article which discussed hunting because people should just be getting their food from the grocery store where no animals are harmed.

01:20:44.000 Or I've mentioned how I got into an argument with a guy during the primaries when I was talking about how UBI would disrupt the economy and with the shortages, eventually there's not going to be any milk at the grocery store.

01:20:55.000 And some guy was like, what do you mean?

01:20:56.000 You just go to the grocery store to get the milk.

01:20:58.000 It's just there.

01:20:59.000 And then I was like, you realize it's bottled and sent there, right?

01:21:02.000 It's just at the grocery store.

01:21:03.000 What do you mean?

01:21:05.000 These people genuinely don't realize.

01:21:07.000 Magic. 1.00

01:21:07.000 No, they're dumb. 1.00

01:21:08.000 Well, the dairy is harvested. 1.00

01:21:10.000 It's sent to various processing plants for a variety of things.

01:21:13.000 Cream, half and half, sour cream, yogurt, milk, all the stuff.

01:21:17.000 It has to get separated out, right?

01:21:18.000 Homogenization process.

01:21:20.000 Then it goes to bottling and packaging plants.

01:21:22.000 Then it goes to warehouse distribution.

01:21:24.000 Then it goes to stores.

01:21:26.000 Yeah, well, and also, I mean, people are going to point to Russia.

01:21:30.000 The political leaders are obviously the main reason this is happening is because they decided to shut down the supply chain.

01:21:35.000 Back in 2020, there were instances where there were certain foods that we had shortages of, even though that particular food didn't have a hiccup in its production or quite as much of a hiccup to lead to the proportional shortage that we were seeing.

01:21:47.000 Because the government, even though they declared food production to be essential, declared the production of items that were required for the

01:21:53.000 packaging of that food to be non-essential so the food was produced but it

01:21:57.000 could just never get to the grocery store oh my gosh yeah

01:22:01.000 I've been working on this company called Eden Grow Systems that's developing.

01:22:03.000 They have some NASA technology, and you can basically grow indoors, and the idea is four of these towers can sustain one person indefinitely.

01:22:11.000 But I don't know if a capitalist movement, like, buy this product.

01:22:14.000 I'm about to start using it, so I'm really excited to see the value.

01:22:17.000 Like, you can grow eggplants and stuff.

01:22:19.000 You've got to have your own garden, at the very least.

01:22:22.000 You know, when I lived in New York, there was no way to have a garden.

01:22:25.000 It was impossible.

01:22:26.000 I could have a garden box with maybe one plant and maybe have like a tomato, but that's, that's, that's, that's nothing.

01:22:32.000 That's why I'm like, you know what?

01:22:33.000 People who live in the cities, you do your thing.

01:22:35.000 Look at this story we got from Raw Story.

01:22:37.000 Iowa's bird flu death toll tops 13 million.

01:22:40.000 This is, there's a pandemic happening among chickens, but it means eggs will be more expensive.

01:22:45.000 It means chicken meat's going to be harder to come by.

01:22:47.000 And we already saw the chicken wing shortage during the pandemic.

01:22:50.000 Likely to, likely to happen again, especially with the global food shortages that are coming.

01:22:54.000 That's why I brought up stem cell meat.

01:22:55.000 I believe that we're headed towards a future where we don't eat farm animals like this.

01:22:58.000 It's going to be really, really weird.

01:22:59.000 There's no fat in them, though.

01:23:00.000 I'm curious about this.

01:23:02.000 So, obviously, we have a picture of a chicken here, which creates the mental connection that the birds dying from this are livestock.

01:23:11.000 But how are they getting this 13 million number?

01:23:14.000 Is it chickens that are dying?

01:23:15.000 It's chickens that are dying.

01:23:17.000 I believe it's some turkeys.

01:23:20.000 Poultry flocks in Iowa.

01:23:22.000 This has been big news.

01:23:23.000 So we've actually, we've been warned just to make sure we quarantine any chickens we get outside because we have our chickens.

01:23:30.000 We have like 50 now because we bred a whole bunch.

01:23:33.000 And so we were told by a breeder, like, any chickens you get, keep them separated for 30 days.

01:23:37.000 Which is kind of a normal thing, because you don't want to spread diseases or whatever, but right now it's fairly serious.

01:23:42.000 We got chickens.

01:23:43.000 Chickens lay eggs all the time.

01:23:45.000 We got too many eggs.

01:23:45.000 It's fantastic.

01:23:46.000 Too many.

01:23:47.000 We had, in like one week, we had 74 eggs.

01:23:50.000 I don't even know.

01:23:50.000 We just made a whole bunch of those great deviled eggs.

01:23:52.000 Those were awesome.

01:23:53.000 Oh man.

01:23:54.000 I gotta start eating more eggs.

01:23:54.000 Yeah, that was great.

01:23:56.000 I wonder what percentage this is of the total livestock of chickens that we have.

01:24:01.000 It's just a lot.

01:24:02.000 No, I mean, I agree.

01:24:03.000 It's frightening.

01:24:04.000 I'm just saying, it's things like this that are all kind of happening around the same time that are, like, pay attention to this stuff.

01:24:11.000 In 2015, a deadly bird flu outbreak resulted in 32 million birds in Iowa getting culled.

01:24:18.000 So they say, Iowa's affected birds this year account for 59% of the country's current 22.4 million total, according to the U.S.

01:24:25.000 Department of Agriculture data.

01:24:27.000 You know what?

01:24:28.000 Just about 60% of our chickens!

01:24:30.000 This is also an indication of the danger of centralized farming.

01:24:32.000 When you have one spot... Yes, buy chickens!

01:24:34.000 Build your own chicken city!

01:24:36.000 And have them far away from each other so that if one little batch gets ill, that's okay.

01:24:41.000 You should see the way they call these chickens.

01:24:46.000 If you've never seen a video of them calling chickens, it's freaking horrific.

01:24:50.000 I'm not gonna even talk about it on air because it's so disturbing.

01:24:53.000 But it involves suffocation.

01:24:55.000 So I guess I did talk about it on air.

01:24:57.000 I just feel for these animals, man.

01:24:59.000 Look in their eyes.

01:25:00.000 They're not NPCs.

01:25:01.000 There's something going on there.

01:25:02.000 Humans eat meat.

01:25:04.000 I get it.

01:25:04.000 And I'm not saying we shouldn't, but there are other ways to derive your meat than growing and killing something for it.

01:25:10.000 I know that's been the way that we've been doing it forever.

01:25:13.000 I think that's just, like, naivety, bro.

01:25:16.000 I'm not making it just- It's not a fantasy, there's technology backing it up.

01:25:20.000 I always liked the way the Native Americans would go about it. 1.00

01:25:23.000 You'd kill the animal and then you would basically have some sort of prayer of what you are getting from this creature whose life you've taken.

01:25:31.000 There's respect to life, but recognizing that we humans, we survive.

01:25:35.000 And we eat meat.

01:25:36.000 And I'm sorry, man.

01:25:38.000 I think humans eat meat.

01:25:39.000 That's it.

01:25:39.000 There's a lot of people who are like, humans actually don't eat meat.

01:25:42.000 I think it was mostly fish.

01:25:43.000 But humans eat meat.

01:25:44.000 Yeah.

01:25:44.000 It's less about the meat, more about the suffering and the sickness that comes from factory farm that I'm concerned with.

01:25:50.000 I will say this.

01:25:51.000 There is something about, you know, growing, cultivating, or even hunting your own food.

01:25:57.000 I've, you know, I don't do it often, but I have gone hunting.

01:26:00.000 And when you see the cost, when you actually kill an animal in order to get food from it, you don't waste it.

01:26:06.000 You're way less likely to waste food.

01:26:07.000 We waste food all the time because we just go to the grocery store and get it and we don't even have to consider the fact that an animal died for it.

01:26:12.000 But you understand inherently there's this lack of gratitude.

01:26:15.000 There's this disrespect in wasting food that most people never acknowledge.

01:26:20.000 Thank you.

01:26:21.000 When we go out to eat, so much food gets wasted.

01:26:24.000 And what do you do?

01:26:25.000 Because I'm not talking about, like, you order a steak and half of it, you're just like, I'm not eating half that steak ever again.

01:26:30.000 I mean, like, a couple bites here and there, and that really, really adds up.

01:26:35.000 If we were actually in, like, a famine situation, nothing would be wasted.

01:26:39.000 You'd be boiling tree bark if you were starving.

01:26:43.000 Well, I mean, it's just like a different, I mean, it would completely change the culture, right?

01:26:45.000 Like, you read about, like, people who grew up in the Great Depression just hoarding, like, just, and not just food, right?

01:26:50.000 Stuff.

01:26:51.000 Uh, because it's like, well, you never know how you might need to use this, and it's just, it's much more common.

01:26:56.000 When I was like, when I was 18, I was, uh, hanging out with my grandpa, and I was, I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with his bread, and then I saw there was mold on the bread, and then I was like, ah, I'm not gonna eat it, and he's like, why not?

01:27:08.000 And I was like, there's mold on it, and he goes, You know, or during the depression, and then he grabs it, and he just, like, just eats the whole thing, and I was like, you can at least take the mold off.

01:27:16.000 He didn't care.

01:27:17.000 You get sick from that, man.

01:27:18.000 I don't know.

01:27:18.000 What kind of mold was it?

01:27:19.000 Do you remember?

01:27:19.000 It was blue.

01:27:20.000 I don't know.

01:27:20.000 Blue mold.

01:27:21.000 Black mold's very dangerous.

01:27:22.000 Blue, green, yellow.

01:27:23.000 I think penicillin's white mold.

01:27:25.000 Yeah, but mold's still bad.

01:27:26.000 Don't want to eat it.

01:27:27.000 But, you know, his point was, like, during the depression, they would eat whatever they could.

01:27:31.000 Eat what you can get.

01:27:34.000 You know, I hear stories about the depression.

01:27:35.000 I don't think we've seen anything like that.

01:27:37.000 No.

01:27:37.000 No matter how bad things have gotten.

01:27:39.000 No, no.

01:27:40.000 I mean, it's hard.

01:27:42.000 It's doubtful that we would, honestly.

01:27:44.000 Like, there's a level of... I don't know.

01:27:48.000 Just, like, how developed our economy is, it's really hard to imagine something.

01:27:52.000 I mean, we forget how relatively undeveloped things were in that period in large portions of the country.

01:27:59.000 People need to realize these systems can be knocked down very easily.

01:28:03.000 I mean, you can screw them up for a longer period.

01:28:06.000 I don't know.

01:28:07.000 I guess I'm more of an optimist than you guys on that front.

01:28:10.000 You read about what things were really like in the Great Depression, and not just... I'm talking about rural areas.

01:28:16.000 Rural electrification was still not really a thing.

01:28:20.000 I think a really good book, if anybody wants to read about this, is actually in the series of biographies of Lyndon Johnson, because Lyndon Johnson grew up in Hill Country, Texas, and it was poor.

01:28:32.000 I mean, what we would consider worse than throwable poverty, poor then.

01:28:38.000 And you realize how far things have come in rural areas, especially in terms of basic infrastructure.

01:28:44.000 Clean water.

01:28:45.000 Clean water is a huge part of it.

01:28:46.000 South America, you could see, I went down there and I was helping clean the Amazon out, and we were with this tribe, this one tribe, or it weren't really tribes, they were just in Beilin and Iquitos, and they didn't know that poop water is bad for you, so they'd defecate in the water and then drink it, and they'd have distended stomachs, and like, not only was the education lacking, so yes, clean water, but also education.

01:29:02.000 We need to maintain access to at least maybe electricity and internet so that we can continue to educate kids properly, I think, maybe.

01:29:10.000 Yeah, maybe we need some kind of a way to just get things to go back to baseline so that we can kind of figure out how much food people really need.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, but you're talking about like a reset or something.

01:29:22.000 Yeah, a great reset.

01:29:23.000 A big resetting of the whole global system.

01:29:26.000 Really be great if nobody owned anything.

01:29:28.000 Yes.

01:29:28.000 I would be happy.

01:29:29.000 It would be much easier to move things around.

01:29:30.000 You should be happy.

01:29:31.000 Yeah.

01:29:32.000 I would be happy.

01:29:32.000 Yeah, you could spin up a corporation, maybe, that surrounds yourself, that's surrounded around that idea.

01:29:38.000 Maybe we can do some kind of organization about, like, global economics, have, like, a forum.

01:29:42.000 I was just thinking that.

01:29:44.000 Oh my goodness.

01:29:46.000 Yeah.

01:29:46.000 A world forum on economics.

01:29:49.000 A world forum on economics.

01:29:50.000 The World Forum on Economics.

01:29:51.000 I don't know. 0.95

01:29:51.000 I think it's kind of ridiculous. 0.95

01:29:52.000 WFE. 0.60

01:29:53.000 That's a great idea.

01:29:55.000 Dude, you are on to something.

01:29:56.000 I'm rolling.

01:29:57.000 I'm rolling a 20.

01:29:59.000 Roll that dice.

01:30:00.000 Roll the 20 dice.

01:30:01.000 I got a 59.

01:30:01.000 Not bad.

01:30:02.000 That's one of the worst numbers, boring numbers I could have rolled right there.

01:30:05.000 I want to make sure that, you know, we saw shortages, we saw prices increase.

01:30:11.000 I've been going to the grocery store and the prices have definitely been going way up consistently and very, very quickly.

01:30:16.000 And so my concern is, are we seeing from the media and the Biden administration fear mongering?

01:30:21.000 I don't know why they would want to do that right now, considering elections are coming up.

01:30:25.000 Are people experiencing normalcy bias and optimism bias?

01:30:28.000 Meaning it can't happen or something like that will never happen.

01:30:32.000 Right?

01:30:33.000 The optimism bias is like, no, that couldn't happen.

01:30:35.000 And the normalcy is like, well, that's never happened.

01:30:37.000 So everything's going to stay the same and I'm not gonna have to worry about it.

01:30:40.000 Or are we going to see something dramatic?

01:30:42.000 Like we've not seen in a long time, like ground war in Europe.

01:30:45.000 Fertilizer shortages.

01:30:47.000 I think at the very least we should expect to see Africa. 1.00

01:30:53.000 Starvation is going to get nuts.

01:30:54.000 I'm glad that Biden said the word famine because it's people like my parents that need to hear it from the authority to really start taking it seriously.

01:31:02.000 Maybe they'll buy me extra beans or something.

01:31:04.000 We need peace in Russia and Ukraine.

01:31:06.000 Geez, I don't know.

01:31:07.000 There's a lot of people who want to keep the war going to drain Russia as though it's like a Cold War and we need to just drain them out in Afghanistan.

01:31:15.000 Right.

01:31:16.000 No, no, no, no.

01:31:16.000 We need peace.

01:31:17.000 We want peace between Russia and Ukraine.

01:31:19.000 Take it when you can get it, because in a war, if something changes with the leadership one day, that's off the table now. 0.75

01:31:24.000 Like if some psycho, not that Putin's not, I'm not saying he's a psycho, but some real genuine psycho, like if Putin gets assassinated and some crazy oligarch gets a hold, you may never see an option for peace again.

01:31:34.000 I think, you know, once we have the peace, everyone should just not own anything and be happy. 0.92

01:31:39.000 Yeah, I would say so.

01:31:40.000 I mean, yeah, absolutely.

01:31:43.000 And then there's like someone who tuned into the show for the first time.

01:31:46.000 Like, I hear a lot of good things about this Tim Pool guy.

01:31:48.000 I don't want to watch this show ever again.

01:31:52.000 All right, let's pull up these super chats.

01:31:55.000 If you have not already, we implore you, smash that like button.

01:31:59.000 Do it for Ian.

01:32:00.000 He needs those likes.

01:32:02.000 Ian goes to bed, and he's like, we didn't get enough likes, man.

01:32:04.000 He cries, and then we gotta deal with it.

01:32:06.000 It takes half an hour.

01:32:07.000 And it keeps everyone up, too.

01:32:09.000 You can hear me crying?

01:32:10.000 Yeah, you cry loud through the whole night, bro.

01:32:12.000 I'm sorry, I thought my walls were soundproof.

01:32:13.000 No, they're not, though.

01:32:14.000 Seamus gets angry.

01:32:15.000 I get mad. 0.95

01:32:16.000 Just hitting people. 0.96

01:32:18.000 I start screaming and punching the walls. 0.96

01:32:20.000 Seamus-shaped fist holes in the wall.

01:32:22.000 There's, like, dents coming through the wall on the inside.

01:32:24.000 And imprints of his face in the wall from bashing his face against the wall.

01:32:27.000 Screaming so loud, you can see his spirit imprinted on the wall.

01:32:30.000 All right, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, become a member at TimCast.com.

01:32:34.000 We're going to have that members-only show coming up at 11 p.m.

01:32:37.000 over at TimCast.com.

01:32:39.000 Let's see what we got here.

01:32:41.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:32:42.000 says, NYC Adams is spending tax money on billboards in Florida.

01:32:46.000 Yep.

01:32:47.000 Really?

01:32:48.000 What about?

01:32:49.000 Oh, to move people back.

01:32:51.000 Yeah, to try to bring people back.

01:32:52.000 Nice try, dude.

01:32:53.000 He should just go stand there with a boombox, man.

01:32:55.000 Come back to me.

01:32:57.000 Dude, states are competing for citizens. 0.78

01:32:59.000 I've never seen this before.

01:33:00.000 Well, they're losing them.

01:33:01.000 I can believe that for sure.

01:33:01.000 Bailey and says Tim you should watch Nick Rikeda's breakdown of the Chad Reed

01:33:05.000 shooting because you missed a lot due to the media leaving out a lot of context.

01:33:08.000 I can believe that for sure. I'm sure Rikeda went through like the actual uh paperwork and legal files and stuff like

01:33:16.000 that.

01:33:16.000 All right.

01:33:17.000 Crayson says, if you're looking for a word to describe the left and the West in general by this point, look to your family pet.

01:33:22.000 The word is simple.

01:33:23.000 Domesticated.

01:33:25.000 Yes.

01:33:26.000 I agree.

01:33:26.000 I think that we are being domesticated.

01:33:28.000 We are being told to be children permanently.

01:33:30.000 Well, speak for yourself.

01:33:31.000 I'm not.

01:33:32.000 You're wild.

01:33:33.000 Everyone here, I'm a wild man. 0.93

01:33:34.000 I punch the wall when Ian cries.

01:33:36.000 That's right, that's right.

01:33:37.000 Where are the likes?

01:33:39.000 And then I'm like, Jamie, stop!

01:33:40.000 If you guys don't leave likes, and I end up having to punch the wall again, I'm not going to be able to finish tomorrow's cartoon, because my hand's going to be broken.

01:33:47.000 So please, like the video.

01:33:49.000 All right, Nanad Srejic says, love when Will is on, but I need to know his thoughts on Star Trek.

01:33:54.000 The Malice episode blackpilled me on him.

01:33:57.000 Well, I don't really watch Star Trek, so sorry.

01:34:02.000 How did it black fill me?

01:34:04.000 Is it a podcast they did with him where I said I don't really know much about Star Trek or I'm more of a Star Wars person?

01:34:08.000 I don't know why they're concerned about you.

01:34:10.000 Michael Malice was saying Star Trek was just for nerds and he didn't like it.

01:34:14.000 Which is weird because he's such a big DC guy.

01:34:16.000 That's what it is.

01:34:17.000 First, I just want to clarify too, you know, a nerd is a reference to academia and a geek is a reference to fandom.

01:34:24.000 And you know the difference.

01:34:25.000 Absolutely, of course.

01:34:26.000 Because, you know... Because you're a geek!

01:34:29.000 I like spy novels.

01:34:30.000 Oh, you're both.

01:34:31.000 And spy movies.

01:34:32.000 So read John Le Carre and watch stuff like The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

01:34:37.000 You won't regret it.

01:34:40.000 Alright.

01:34:42.000 Awesome Archivist says, is it so hard to have a hobby?

01:34:45.000 Why do so many link purpose to what society demands of you?

01:34:48.000 Ultimately, these physically intangible concepts, concepts SJWs obsess over do not exist.

01:34:54.000 Sincerely, a 22 year old.

01:34:55.000 Well, they need a religion substitute. 0.97

01:34:56.000 That's what they need.

01:34:57.000 Yup.

01:34:58.000 That's exactly what it is.

01:34:59.000 They need a religion substitute. 1.00

01:35:01.000 I think Marc Andreessen maybe said something smart today where he's like, the best way to have a religion indoctrinated in schools is to just not call it a religion.

01:35:08.000 And then all of a sudden you can do it.

01:35:09.000 Andrew L says, Tim, in your monologue today you mentioned having a deep freezer and how the food could last forever.

01:35:15.000 What about an extended power outage?

01:35:17.000 So we have a hamster that runs in a wheel and it charges the generator.

01:35:19.000 It's a big hamster.

01:35:20.000 It's a giant hamster.

01:35:22.000 We spent decades doing genetic engineering to make a big enough hamster to power a deep freezer, and we got it.

01:35:27.000 His name's Melvin.

01:35:27.000 Bof.

01:35:27.000 Well done.

01:35:29.000 Melvin.

01:35:29.000 Melvin, yeah.

01:35:30.000 So we have here, that is, true facts.

01:35:34.000 There is an issue if the power goes out, and it has.

01:35:37.000 It's a deep freezer so it will last for a decent amount of time without thawing out and there are things you can do to check like you put like some you know a piece of ice in it and then if you come back and you get a flat disk of ice you know that it melted and refroze but um we are getting solar installed and at the new facility we have an obscene amount of solar power because we want to be independent which means we're going to have satellite internet we're going to have solar power We have an insane amount of batteries, so the whole facility can be powered for, like, a week or longer if there's no sun at all.

01:36:08.000 Like, let's say there's just, like, storms for a week straight and the power goes out.

01:36:12.000 We will still have power for, like, a week.

01:36:14.000 And then we have well water, obviously, and heavy-duty filtration systems, so... Yeah.

01:36:19.000 Not because I think that the world will end, but because I'm concerned that sometimes snowstorms hit, and then the power goes out, and you should just be able to take care of yourself.

01:36:27.000 Just thinking, could we cover that deep freezer with blankets if the power were to go out to hold the cold inside?

01:36:33.000 It's a deep freezer.

01:36:34.000 It's already insulated.

01:36:35.000 So there's no more added insulation we could add to help it?

01:36:38.000 I don't... I'm sure you could put in a vacuum or something.

01:36:42.000 I don't know.

01:36:43.000 Considering that it's insulated, when we had a fuse go out, and it was out for a while, everything was still deeply frozen.

01:36:49.000 I mean, when you take meat out of the deep freezer, it's hard to thaw.

01:36:53.000 You know.

01:36:53.000 I guess we just put a lock on it so if the power goes out, it locks.

01:36:56.000 You don't want fools going in there and pulling out.

01:36:58.000 We have a bunch of these batteries. 0.98

01:36:59.000 You can't see them, but they're all over the studio.

01:37:01.000 They're these huge batteries.

01:37:02.000 What are they called?

01:37:03.000 EF Delta?

01:37:04.000 Is that what it's called?

01:37:05.000 Those are great.

01:37:06.000 Yeah, they're fantastic.

01:37:07.000 And we were doing a show once when the power went out.

01:37:10.000 And then we have the tech crew come and they plug all these things in.

01:37:13.000 And now we have a really big one, too.

01:37:14.000 So we have backup power for days!

01:37:17.000 Alright.

01:37:19.000 Roger Sheck Snyder says, love Seamus and Freedom Tunes.

01:37:23.000 Thank you so much.

01:37:23.000 Don't we all?

01:37:24.000 Don't we all?

01:37:25.000 I'm so glad to hear that.

01:37:26.000 Well, for those of you who are not familiar with who this Seamus is or what Freedom Tunes are, go over to Freedom Tunes, youtube.com slash freedom tunes.

01:37:35.000 Hit subscribe, hit the bell.

01:37:36.000 We're uploading a cartoon tomorrow.

01:37:37.000 I love you so much.

01:37:39.000 Cigars and Sig Arms says, can we just go back to the days where He-Man and Orko warned kids about the things groomers would do to children and told them to tell their parents or police officer if it happened to them?

01:37:49.000 Deeply homophobic cartoons.

01:37:51.000 They would be like, don't tell your parents what we're doing.

01:37:55.000 If someone talks, I mean, I would love to do that.

01:37:58.000 I think it's important for kids to know if someone touches you in a place that you're not comfortable that you scream and you push them away.

01:38:03.000 That's what my parents taught me.

01:38:06.000 And of course, if an adult says anything to you that they tell you not to repeat to your parents, you immediately go and repeat it to your parents.

01:38:14.000 Yes.

01:38:14.000 That was some good acting, Ian.

01:38:15.000 You had me fooled for a minute.

01:38:16.000 But the cast castle has to get in the right cake to break the time loop that was some good acting Ian you had me

01:38:22.000 Fooled for it. Oh, did they release that today? Oh, that was up a couple days ago. That was a couple days

01:38:26.000 It was funny.

01:38:26.000 So basically, Ian comes down, there's a cake, and then he gets mad.

01:38:30.000 The cake is a lie!

01:38:31.000 But then Ian storms off, and then Seamus is like, I can't believe we thought he'd liked it.

01:38:36.000 Let's try again.

01:38:37.000 Pulls out another cake, goes, hey Ian!

01:38:38.000 And Ian walks down all happy like nothing happened.

01:38:40.000 Brilliantly directed by Seamus Cogman.

01:38:41.000 Why thank you.

01:38:42.000 Look, I wasn't the only one.

01:38:43.000 A lot of talented people involved with this shoot.

01:38:46.000 Matthew Hammond says, can we get North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robison on the show?

01:38:50.000 He recently had to call out a political cartoon in a local newspaper depicting him a black man in a Klan outfit that was drawn by an eighth grade social studies teacher.

01:38:59.000 Wow.

01:39:00.000 Dude, that video, he is, that guy's hilarious.

01:39:02.000 He did that whole speech of like a prophet where he's like something like, we need to start teaching people, children to read and not teach them how to go to hell.

01:39:12.000 I mean, I'd be Don M on the show.

01:39:14.000 I just want to mention this, as someone who does make political cartoons, albeit animated ones, the person I don't like wearing a Klan's hood is the laziest, most overused trope in political cartooning.

01:39:28.000 It doesn't shock me that, what, did it say it was an 8th grader who drew this?

01:39:31.000 Of course.

01:39:31.000 No, it was an 8th grade teacher.

01:39:32.000 Oh, it was an 8th grade teacher!

01:39:33.000 Wow!

01:39:34.000 Okay, even better.

01:39:35.000 With the cognitive faculties of an 8th grader.

01:39:37.000 Of an 8th grader, apparently.

01:39:38.000 Yep.

01:39:40.000 Alright.

01:39:42.000 Reinegan says, if public schools had a system to let kids get baptized, take communion, and go through confirmation, with protocols to hide this from parents, they would call it religious grooming in a heartbeat.

01:39:53.000 Absolutely.

01:39:53.000 Yes.

01:39:54.000 That is true.

01:39:55.000 Yep.

01:39:56.000 Yes.

01:39:58.000 All right.

01:39:59.000 Dudley Deplorable says, back in the 50s and 60s, we had a grooming teacher.

01:40:02.000 His activities were known, nothing was done.

01:40:04.000 Children taught children to protect themselves.

01:40:06.000 Had to edit to get past the AI.

01:40:10.000 Wow. 0.94

01:40:12.000 Morgan H says, the left says you hate gays because they are used to slinging insults saying racist, homophobic, etc. 0.94

01:40:18.000 The right flinched, but they're not flinching anymore. 0.92

01:40:20.000 Well, there you go.

01:40:22.000 Just Bill says, I listened almost daily, so I thought I should contribute.

01:40:25.000 Hey, thanks very much, Just Bill.

01:40:26.000 Thank you.

01:40:28.000 Logan Angel says, have you guys heard about Oregon's, is that L-I-P? 0.99

01:40:34.000 IP 13?

01:40:34.000 It would make basically anything involving animals illegal, and it's not getting enough attention.

01:40:39.000 It's disguised as an anti-animal abuse bill.

01:40:41.000 I heard it was about hunting.

01:40:42.000 I don't know much about it.

01:40:44.000 They don't want you to have your own animals.

01:40:46.000 I wouldn't trust the Oregon legislature over everything, so I assume any of their bills are bad, right?

01:40:50.000 It's just a lefty legislature.

01:40:54.000 Alexander Roscoe says, at 17 in high school, I came out to my woke teacher.

01:40:58.000 One night, she took me across state lines from New Jersey to Philadelphia's gayborhood to show me gay culture.

01:41:04.000 When we got back, I was told not to tell my parents.

01:41:07.000 Creepy.

01:41:08.000 I hope you did tell them.

01:41:08.000 That is extremely creepy.

01:41:09.000 I hope you told them.

01:41:10.000 That's wild.

01:41:11.000 Seriously.

01:41:11.000 If that happened, yeah, that's horrifying.

01:41:13.000 Another cat says, cats don't mind grooming.

01:41:15.000 That's what I'm talking about.

01:41:17.000 They groom themselves.

01:41:19.000 Some dogs are not fans of getting groomed, you know.

01:41:24.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:41:27.000 Dolphin Seaweed says, who pooed in Ian's cereal this morning?

01:41:30.000 That man seems like he needs a hug.

01:41:32.000 I completely agree with you.

01:41:33.000 I don't see this as a joke or funny, and the right is reacting, not being proactive at all.

01:41:39.000 Did you do something, Ian, about your cereal?

01:41:40.000 I have been in kind of a tense mood today.

01:41:42.000 Thanks for calling that out.

01:41:46.000 Just in general.

01:41:48.000 What is this?

01:41:49.000 SmileMore says, Ian is spot on.

01:41:51.000 Bill Gates wanted to use haptic feedback, sensors, iris scanning as part of Common Core.

01:41:56.000 Parents found out and fought like hell to make sure it did not happen.

01:41:58.000 Good job.

01:41:59.000 Get ready to fight over and over and over and over again as they continue to attempt to indoctrinate humans into the metaverse.

01:42:05.000 In 10 years, the LGBTQ Communist Republican Party is going to be like, it's a slippery slope with the metaverse and we don't agree to it. 1.00

01:42:14.000 Then 10 years later, it's going to be the metaverse Republicans arguing in hyperspeed metaverse language about some other... You'll have nine-year-olds that are making more money than their parents and then they'll start donating to campaigns and the politicians are going to be given over to these metaversions.

01:42:32.000 Lunar Transport says, does all this talk of conversion and grooming mean that homosexuality is a learned behavior?

01:42:38.000 Wasn't at the talking point that you are born that way.

01:42:40.000 I think there is a dissonance of messaging here.

01:42:44.000 Yeah, that's been obvious for the past several years.

01:42:47.000 I mean, isn't it like a little, I mean, there's a nature component and a nurture component.

01:42:51.000 That's my understanding.

01:42:52.000 I think so.

01:42:53.000 Well, now, now they're saying, uh, many leftists are saying, not all of them, but a lot of them, that if you are attracted to women, but won't sleep with a trans woman, you're transphobic.

01:43:03.000 Yeah.

01:43:04.000 So like Jazz Jennings, his brother recently came out and said that he is heterosexual, but because trans women are women, he would be attracted to them.

01:43:14.000 And I'm just like, doesn't that mean you're bisexual?

01:43:17.000 Exactly.

01:43:17.000 I don't understand why there's an aversion of bisexual people to claim they're not, they're just heterosexual.

01:43:24.000 I don't, I still, I ask this question often, like, what makes a person gay?

01:43:27.000 Is it the actual act of sex with someone of the same sex?

01:43:29.000 Or is it the desire and without ever doing the action?

01:43:33.000 Depends on who you ask.

01:43:34.000 Because, uh, I've been told by, you know, friends of mine who are gay that it's the emotional connection they have.

01:43:39.000 That's what I feel like it would be.

01:43:41.000 Yeah, because they're like, they're people who are, who are extremely, what's the right word?

01:43:46.000 Just like, Going to dungeons and doing crazy things with weird, like if a guy's dressed up like a horse and like another guy is like a fairy godmother, you know, what are you doing?

01:43:58.000 And so their view of things is it's about emotional connection.

01:44:03.000 But if that's the case, like, that doesn't make sense because bisexual implies it is sexual.

01:44:09.000 Yeah.

01:44:10.000 What sexual orientation is being sexually attracted to fairy godmothers?

01:44:15.000 They'll make one up, I don't know.

01:44:20.000 If you Google it right now, I bet you find it.

01:44:22.000 Fairy godmothers.

01:44:24.000 They watch, like, Cinderella, and they just have it paused in that one scene with the fairy godmother.

01:44:31.000 Well, hey man.

01:44:32.000 Or Magicphile or something.

01:44:34.000 People that get down with wizards.

01:44:35.000 Fairy godmother.

01:44:38.000 Magiciophile.

01:44:39.000 They have, like, they hire someone to dress up like Albus Dumbledore.

01:44:43.000 Harry Potter?

01:44:44.000 You're a wizard.

01:44:45.000 All right, all right, all right.

01:44:48.000 Free Men Die Free says a 4chan user years ago accurately described in great detail how the alphabet community would be used to push Tito Acceptance.

01:44:56.000 I have the screenshots and they're spot on.

01:44:58.000 Interestingly, there was a bunch of people trying to push LGBTP.

01:45:02.000 Yes.

01:45:03.000 And the left claimed it was a hoax campaign.

01:45:06.000 But these people are serious.

01:45:08.000 They've been serious.

01:45:08.000 They call themselves MAPs.

01:45:10.000 Minor Attractive Persons.

01:45:12.000 There was a Slate article, right?

01:45:13.000 Slate published an article by a MAP, quote unquote, a pedophile being like, actually, you know, it's just a sexual orientation.

01:45:20.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:45:22.000 And this goes without saying, all right, but we have this Republican using the term latinx.

01:45:29.000 No one ever used the term MAP unironically.

01:45:32.000 In fact, don't even use it ironically.

01:45:34.000 Just call them pedophiles. 0.92

01:45:35.000 Right. 0.93

01:45:38.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:45:49.000 Well, there it is, you know.

01:45:52.000 Now he's using his pronouns.

01:45:54.000 That's why I don't trust the Republican Party.

01:45:56.000 Because unless, you know, even if you do primary people, you don't know who you're gonna get.

01:45:59.000 You can trust that they're gonna be good, and they're gonna do all the right things, and as soon as they get in office, there you go.

01:46:03.000 Keep voting them out, they keep coming in. 1.00

01:46:07.000 Shane Parr says, Tim is a father of four children.

01:46:10.000 I just have to say that I am with you 100%.

01:46:12.000 If people don't start standing up for their values, they're going to lose their kids and jobs anyway.

01:46:17.000 Good people can't remain silent.

01:46:19.000 Let's elaborate on that.

01:46:20.000 When I ask the question, you're a father with children, you're a mother with children.

01:46:24.000 Would you rather have a job, knowing that your child is being groomed eight hours a day, but at least you have money, and you're secure, or be homeless with your child, not knowing where your food comes from?

01:46:36.000 Now, let's say you opt for, I'm okay with my job and these people grooming my kids.

01:46:41.000 Are you then okay when someone comes to you and they have your kid in a child drag show and when you complain, child services comes and takes your child from you?

01:46:50.000 That's what happens if you wait around.

01:46:52.000 If you don't take action, someone else is going to take it for you.

01:46:54.000 Exactly.

01:46:55.000 It's not as if the left wins one of these.

01:46:57.000 You know, they further degrade our culture and then they go, we're done.

01:47:00.000 We're done.

01:47:00.000 We're just going to stop there.

01:47:01.000 Things are bad enough.

01:47:02.000 We won't make it worse.

01:47:03.000 We won't restrict your rights as a parent more so.

01:47:05.000 You gave us what we wanted.

01:47:06.000 No, it's only going to get worse.

01:47:08.000 All right, Donnie Ronald says, fellow Utahan here, Mormons and rapid growth is what's wrong with Utah. 1.00

01:47:14.000 There is a lot of business here in Utah, and unfortunately, it's attracting snakes.

01:47:18.000 Mormons? 0.55

01:47:19.000 They're religious, though.

01:47:20.000 Wouldn't they push back?

01:47:21.000 Yeah.

01:47:22.000 I mean, Mormons, that's the foundation of Utah, is the Mormon church.

01:47:27.000 Like, it's just deeply embedded in the entire upper crust of... I mean, that's where the Mormons went with Joseph Smith.

01:47:35.000 They went to Salt Lake City.

01:47:37.000 Gino Benedetto says, I'm a Navy vet going to school for engineering.

01:47:41.000 On the back of my truck is written, what country is this?

01:47:45.000 And then, and why are the people all ugly?

01:47:47.000 I don't get a lot of hate messages, but it's hilarious to me.

01:47:50.000 Oh man, YouTube's not gonna like that one.

01:47:53.000 That's funny.

01:47:54.000 Alright, let's see.

01:47:55.000 Woosh says, Utah in here.

01:47:58.000 The state is very red, but Salt Lake City, Provo is aggressively left.

01:48:01.000 Check r slash Utah, 90% of it is absolute vitriol against any conservative.

01:48:05.000 And Provo is where that BLM guy shot the driver for no reason. 0.93

01:48:08.000 You remember that?

01:48:10.000 No.

01:48:11.000 Someone was driving down the street, and BLM was running through the streets, and then some guy just ran up to the passenger side window and then put a bullet in the driver.

01:48:19.000 I don't ask.

01:48:20.000 I have no idea why, man.

01:48:21.000 Apparently there were two men were arrested in that, apparently.

01:48:23.000 Yeah.

01:48:23.000 According to thedesert.com.

01:48:25.000 Deseret.com.

01:48:26.000 SeriouslyJK says, Tim, tell us about your sweet, sweet Flash animations, please.

01:48:31.000 Um, there's not really much to tell.

01:48:33.000 I made a video game once where it was like a guy running through a factory and that was it.

01:48:36.000 There was no real story to it.

01:48:38.000 And then there was like, I made metal things that would like, you know, slam down and you had to like run under them.

01:48:44.000 And then there, there were these little, uh, little, uh, wind up guys like that munched like, I need to jump over him and that was about it And then you collect once you collect all the coins that the door would open and you could go to the next level It was it was a pretty crummy game, and then I just would copy and paste the levels and move stuff around and keep you know That's basically it that was fun those old action.

01:49:01.000 I made websites though I made a few flash websites for for some of my friends and for me and It was about it flash was fun motion tween back in flash for yeah, yeah for I started with Flash 3.

01:49:16.000 Got a used copy of it on eBay.

01:49:20.000 Flash, man.

01:49:21.000 Good software.

01:49:22.000 But I started making videos because I was skateboarding, so then I started doing video editing and stuff.

01:49:27.000 So there you go, right?

01:49:28.000 Alright, let's grab some more.

01:49:29.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:49:32.000 Prometheus says, drop pronouns entirely.

01:49:35.000 I wonder if the Daily Wire would consider making anime potentially a biblical anime.

01:49:40.000 They should it's like two points. Well there. Here's what I actually I think should be like we should just have a

01:49:44.000 general agreement So so the left does this thing where they're like gender is

01:49:47.000 a social construction, and they're saying it as though that this novel insight

01:49:50.000 It's like no that gender you literally invented the concept as a social instruction, right? 0.98

01:49:55.000 Like it it was if you go back to the 1920s and how the word gender was used

01:49:58.000 it was only used in relation to like pronouns and language right like

01:50:02.000 or gender gender terms like how in romance languages like there's

01:50:07.000 You know L and law for the prefix or whatever like you invented is a social construction

01:50:12.000 So like why don't we just realize that maybe we don't need to use pronouns on the basis of a social construction and

01:50:17.000 can said Use it on the basis of biological reality and thus always

01:50:21.000 refer to people by their biological sex What if I just call everyone it?

01:50:26.000 You know, like, when, like, Ian's like, hey, can you hand me that?

01:50:28.000 that i'll be like will it's asking for so i want to mention this not only is gender identity and

01:50:36.000 invented term a social construct of the left foot for to try to blur the

01:50:39.000 lines between the sexes it was coined by doctor john money

01:50:42.000 i'm not sure if you guys are familiar with and he was another word you know

01:50:45.000 that were gender identity uh... and gender role and sexual orientation were all

01:50:49.000 coined by doctor john he's that guy who tortured those two kids in a killing

01:50:53.000 yes he's yes he's so basically there was a botched circumcision that

01:50:57.000 uh... occurred and there were there were there were twins there was a box

01:51:00.000 circumcision on one of them he encouraged the parents to raise the

01:51:04.000 child who had undergone the box circumcision as a girl and said that he

01:51:09.000 was going to remove this child's genitals he did they tried to raise the the 1.00

01:51:13.000 child as a girl he always knew that there was something wrong with him always 0.87

01:51:16.000 understood john money on some level and i don't know that money may well

01:51:20.000 anyway And he forced them to engage in sexual behavior as children and he snapped pictures of it. 0.99

01:51:25.000 This guy was just a child sex abuser. 1.00

01:51:27.000 He was a pedophile. 1.00

01:51:28.000 He's the person who coined the terms gender identity and gender. 0.93

01:51:30.000 Both those individuals ended up killing themselves.

01:51:33.000 Yes.

01:51:34.000 And that's where that comes from.

01:51:37.000 Carl Covert says, Greg Abbott is busing undocumented immigrants to D.C.

01:51:42.000 He signed the executive order today.

01:51:44.000 But they have to volunteer.

01:51:46.000 Yeah, if they volunteer to go.

01:51:48.000 Yeah, I was thinking, we talked about this before the show, that maybe it's, uh, if people were, like, coyoted across the border, that this is a way for them to be like, I want to go back, because they do have to volunteer to get sent.

01:51:58.000 Insert name here says, Ian, SF is not NorCal.

01:52:01.000 That dumpster is North LA.

01:52:03.000 NorCal starts directly north of it, and 70% of California's water originates in the north, while 80% of the demand is in the south.

01:52:10.000 The state steals our water.

01:52:12.000 We need a separation.

01:52:14.000 State of Jefferson, Southern Oregon, and like North Northern California.

01:52:18.000 You know, they've talked about diverting the Delta to bring water down south to Southern California.

01:52:24.000 And I'm kind of just like, for a while, I was like, no, no, you can't do that, it'll destroy the bay.

01:52:28.000 And now I'm like, oh no, oh wait, it'll destroy the bay.

01:52:32.000 There's a whole other issue with the Delta smelt.

01:52:34.000 It's like an environmental issue.

01:52:35.000 They have to flush tons of fresh water through the San Joaquin.

01:52:38.000 That's a BS argument.

01:52:40.000 I went down there, I talked to a bunch of people.

01:52:42.000 I think that's just some emotional defense.

01:52:45.000 The reality is, if we actually diverted the delta water to the south for freshwater use, it would cause saltwater to flood into the bay, and that would destroy a lot of the farms in the bay area.

01:52:58.000 So, that's why you can't do it.

01:53:00.000 That's why I'm like, oh no!

01:53:02.000 Oh, they're freshwater!

01:53:04.000 Because it's brackish, because it's freshwater and seawater.

01:53:09.000 Alright, Tim Miners has split California in half, east and west.

01:53:12.000 The eastern half can be absorbed into Arizona and Nevada, problem solved.

01:53:16.000 Agreed!

01:53:17.000 So as it is spoken, so shall it be done.

01:53:18.000 Terrible idea, terrible idea.

01:53:19.000 Its own state, the eastern part, which is a hard, red state.

01:53:22.000 Why would we give up the creation of a red state? 0.76

01:53:25.000 That's a terrible idea.

01:53:25.000 Two more Republican senators.

01:53:28.000 It'd be a powerful state with all those farms. 0.96

01:53:30.000 Yeah. 0.95

01:53:31.000 Someone said, Tim, people attracted to fairy godparents is a croaker, crocker sexual. 0.88

01:53:39.000 Very good parents! 0.82

01:53:40.000 It was right.

01:53:41.000 I'm not getting the joke.

01:53:43.000 You remember Fairly OddParents?

01:53:47.000 No, no.

01:53:47.000 I got to look this up.

01:53:48.000 It was a cartoon in the 2000s.

01:53:51.000 There were some memes that came out of that.

01:53:52.000 Yeah.

01:53:52.000 The, if I had one meme where the dad's pointing at the nothing.

01:53:56.000 Oh, I sent that to YouTube.

01:53:58.000 So YouTube, this was a while ago, back when that meme was in vogue, YouTube hadn't sent me a 1,000 subscriber plaque, and I'd already had like 200,000 subs at this point, so I sent them a meme of that, except it was, this is where I put my subscriber plaque.

01:54:08.000 And they responded to me like, we're sorry, let's talk to you about getting your subscriber plaque.

01:54:12.000 It actually did, so it worked.

01:54:15.000 That's a good one.

01:54:16.000 Oh.

01:54:16.000 Get this.

01:54:17.000 Tim I would 100% support your coffee enterprise but only if you call it Tim

01:54:21.000 Cafe or the coffee beanie. If you need drink ideas I'd be happy to help. I was

01:54:25.000 thinking I have some really good ideas for drink ideas I was thinking like

01:54:28.000 latte, cappuccino, ice latte, get this mocha.

01:54:35.000 Mocha? No.

01:54:37.000 No frills.

01:54:37.000 Okay, I'm gonna open a sandwich shop and it's gonna have sandwich.

01:54:40.000 That's it.

01:54:41.000 Have you ever tried a brevet?

01:54:43.000 I feel like you would love it.

01:54:44.000 A brevet, what's that made of?

01:54:45.000 A brevet is instead of using milk, they use either half and half or heavy cream.

01:54:48.000 Yes, I've had that before.

01:54:50.000 Wow.

01:54:50.000 Cream is good.

01:54:51.000 Yeah.

01:54:52.000 Yes it is.

01:54:52.000 My whole life I thought that it was the sour cream that was making me fat at Taco Bell when it turned out it was the 64 ounce sodas I was drinking.

01:54:58.000 And so I thought cream was dangerous and now recently I'm just learning to love the fat.

01:55:01.000 I'm gonna open a sandwich shop and you're gonna have like three meats, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, mayo, mustard.

01:55:08.000 And you pick between that.

01:55:09.000 Nothing else.

01:55:09.000 It'll be easier to source the stuff, that's for sure.

01:55:11.000 Keep it simple.

01:55:12.000 Super simple, super fast.

01:55:12.000 You come in, you get a sandwich, you eat the food, you get out of there, huh?

01:55:14.000 No, no, no, no chit-chat, no nonsense, no frilly garbage on the walls.

01:55:19.000 It'll be very simple.

01:55:20.000 Real men coming in saying, I want a sandwich! 1.00

01:55:22.000 Turkey!

01:55:23.000 Do it!

01:55:23.000 Done!

01:55:24.000 Boom! 0.99

01:55:24.000 Here you go. 0.99

01:55:25.000 Fresh made bread.

01:55:26.000 Yeah.

01:55:27.000 No games.

01:55:28.000 Flour and water.

01:55:29.000 Nothing else.

01:55:29.000 Yes.

01:55:30.000 Nothing else.

01:55:31.000 Maybe a man sandwich. 0.97

01:55:32.000 That would be terrible.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, I'm interested in getting different types of creams for the coffee.

01:55:37.000 Maybe an almond cream, a coconut cream.

01:55:39.000 No, those are frills.

01:55:40.000 Yeah, all the frills.

01:55:40.000 You drink cow.

01:55:41.000 You come into my coffee shop, we have heavy cream.

01:55:43.000 What about the lactose intolerant?

01:55:45.000 No, sorry, get out.

01:55:46.000 Do a little peanut butter.

01:55:47.000 I actually do feel like not tolerated in this house because I was looking for food and literally everything is like some sort of like dairy product.

01:55:52.000 Yeah, no, we put extra lactose in everything.

01:55:55.000 We got salami downstairs.

01:55:57.000 You can have that.

01:55:58.000 I can't eat salami, that's true.

01:55:59.000 I found some peanuts.

01:56:00.000 That was my big snack.

01:56:02.000 We've got, in terms of snacks, not everything is dairy.

01:56:05.000 Well, I guess the protein bars are whey.

01:56:06.000 All the protein bars are dairy.

01:56:08.000 No, not the outright ones.

01:56:09.000 I don't think those are dairy.

01:56:10.000 No, those are dairy.

01:56:11.000 I looked at them.

01:56:12.000 They all have, like, I just need some, like, Clif bars or something next time.

01:56:14.000 Because everything's made of protein, so it's all cheese.

01:56:16.000 Yeah, it's all, like, the keto stuff.

01:56:17.000 All the keto stuff is stuff that's dairy.

01:56:19.000 Have you been vegan lately?

01:56:19.000 We have bacon!

01:56:20.000 No, no, I mean, I just, I'm meat and But no dairy.

01:56:24.000 We have individually wrapped bacon.

01:56:26.000 Oh, I saw those.

01:56:26.000 They're great.

01:56:28.000 I like the spicy one.

01:56:29.000 Spicy one's good.

01:56:30.000 Yeah, super good.

01:56:31.000 Let's read some more Super Chats. 0.91

01:56:34.000 Okay, let's see.

01:56:36.000 Let's grab a Super Chat here.

01:56:39.000 Asim Solution says, Tim, the water issue with California farmers having all the water stolen for LA is nothing new.

01:56:46.000 It was a central point in the 1974 film noir, Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson set in the late 1930s.

01:56:52.000 Really, what was it about?

01:56:53.000 Chinatown's like, I mean, I forget the like details of the plot, but it's sort of, you know, investigating this sort of corruption, like a private investigators, Jack Nicholson's character, and he's investigating this like corruption slash murder and a big chunk of the drama revolves around water, water rights in California.

01:57:09.000 Nugget says, I was born in Zimbabwe, 1991.

01:57:11.000 They took land from white people, divided it up and gave it to Africans, then everyone starved because nobody knew how to farm. 0.93

01:57:17.000 That's what happens with communism.

01:57:20.000 They're like, the people should own the land! 1.00

01:57:22.000 Yay! 0.99

01:57:23.000 Get rid of the farmer! 1.00

01:57:24.000 Yay! 0.99

01:57:25.000 Is anybody doing how to farm?

01:57:26.000 No! 0.63

01:57:27.000 And then you die.

01:57:29.000 Or they're like, quick everyone melt down your tools to make pig iron.

01:57:33.000 They want to do that in South Africa too.

01:57:35.000 Land reform.

01:57:36.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:38.000 That's South Africa, man.

01:57:40.000 Haven't, like, farmers been getting attacked en masse in South Africa?

01:57:44.000 Depends on who you ask.

01:57:45.000 The corporate press is like, that's not happening.

01:57:47.000 So it probably is, yeah.

01:57:48.000 It's definitely not happening.

01:57:50.000 But what the media says is all farmers are being attacked.

01:57:54.000 But they were saying it was like the white colonial farmers that were being attacked?

01:57:57.000 That's the story?

01:57:58.000 There's a place in South Africa.

01:58:00.000 This was from Lauren Southern's documentary where it's like all white and like white only or something.

01:58:05.000 It's crazy.

01:58:06.000 Like that's something like that still exists and it's like a weird pocket suburban town far away from everything.

01:58:10.000 I think they almost like they applied to be like a minority protected status or something like that in South Africa.

01:58:16.000 I remember reading about that place.

01:58:17.000 It was very weird.

01:58:19.000 All right.

01:58:20.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:58:23.000 Uh, let's see, what does it say?

01:58:25.000 Mr. Messenger, Message Writer says, you say that the cities will be worse for food shortages.

01:58:30.000 You have no idea.

01:58:31.000 Many West Coast cities have thousands of people living in 100 square foot apartments,

01:58:35.000 which have no storage, no kitchen.

01:58:38.000 They must leave to get food to eat.

01:58:40.000 Oh yeah, The Bachelors.

01:58:42.000 When I lived in LA, and I was trying to find a place to live, I ended up living with a friend of mine, in a studio, and it was a couple hundred, it was like 500 square feet maybe, and so it was just a studio, but it had a separate kitchen.

01:58:54.000 And so I was like, alright, that's cool.

01:58:56.000 When I was looking for places for myself, I couldn't afford any of these things, I had to split a studio.

01:59:00.000 But they had bachelor apartments, which are basically glorified closets, and then there's one shared bathroom that everyone uses, and it was still like several hundred dollars per month, and I was just like, man...

01:59:10.000 I do not want to live here.

01:59:11.000 At that point I would try and live in my band lockout or something.

01:59:16.000 I lived in a band space once.

01:59:17.000 It was like a hundred bucks a month.

01:59:18.000 Paper-thin walls.

01:59:20.000 Rickety old building, probably full of all, like, asbestos or whatever.

01:59:24.000 You name it.

01:59:25.000 I was in Chicago.

01:59:26.000 That was fun, though.

01:59:27.000 No good lighting.

01:59:28.000 You'd wake up and there was no showers or anything, so you'd go to the bathroom and just splash water on yourself.

01:59:32.000 But hey, a hundred bucks a month and a place to sleep.

01:59:36.000 We found a passenger two-seater from the back of a van that was thrown away, and that's what I got to sleep on.

01:59:43.000 Nice.

01:59:43.000 Yeah, you make it work, man.

01:59:45.000 I like that stuff.

01:59:46.000 Something about that, it's not only is it like romantic, but it's actually awesome because you're saving money for the things you really find important in life, which is investing for your future.

01:59:55.000 Yeah.

01:59:56.000 Alright, let's get what we got here.

01:59:57.000 Kevin Brady says... That sounds like something that sounds true that's not true, though.

02:00:03.000 How about someone fact check that, because that, you know... Corporate Investigation Risk Consulting, Kroll Inc.

02:00:06.000 That sounds like something that sounds true that's not true though.

02:00:09.000 How about someone fact check that?

02:00:11.000 Corporate Investigation Risk Consulting, Kroll Inc.

02:00:15.000 American Corporate Investigations and Risk Consulting.

02:00:18.000 I read a fascinating book about that.

02:00:20.000 This is also somebody you should try and get on if you haven't.

02:00:22.000 I think it was Barry Meyer, M-E-I-E-R, he wrote a book about corporate spying.

02:00:27.000 It had a lot to do with Russiagate and Fusion GPS, but it was about, like, general, like, these weird corporate intelligence firms that are, like, do all sorts of crazy, really screwed up stuff.

02:00:37.000 Like, they were the ones who were, like, working for Harvey Weinstein and investigating.

02:00:40.000 It was fascinating.

02:00:41.000 Fascinating book.

02:00:42.000 Spiro Floropoulos says, I lost my job standing up against woke and vaccine crap because I wanted to do better for my daughter's future.

02:00:49.000 It was worth it.

02:00:50.000 If Timcast needs tech help, I have 20 years experience.

02:00:53.000 Glad to hear it!

02:00:54.000 And we do!

02:00:55.000 Send an email, uh, let's say spin the UFO?

02:00:57.000 Yeah.

02:00:57.000 Did you check that enough?

02:00:58.000 What's the name on that?

02:01:00.000 Spiro Floropoulos.

02:01:02.000 Hmm.

02:01:02.000 That might not be his real name.

02:01:03.000 No, but we'll use that in the subject and then we'll take a look.

02:01:09.000 Because we do need tech help as we expand.

02:01:11.000 We have new buildings and all that stuff, so there you go.

02:01:14.000 Jordan James says, two years ago at a grocery would spend about $250 to $300, now over $600 for the same amount of stuff for a family of four.

02:01:22.000 Man, it's getting bad out there, my friends.

02:01:26.000 All right, let's see.

02:01:27.000 Oppressive straight white male Christian says, Fairmont, West Virginia literally has Tim's man sandwich shop.

02:01:33.000 It's called Yan's Hot Dogs.

02:01:35.000 Hot dog sauce, mustard, raw onions, the end.

02:01:37.000 I love it.

02:01:39.000 Simple.

02:01:39.000 You go in, you get food.

02:01:41.000 I like it.

02:01:42.000 In and out.

02:01:42.000 It's very simple, right?

02:01:43.000 You go in and out, you get a burger.

02:01:44.000 You can have burger, two burger, three burger, burger with stuff on it.

02:01:47.000 Have a nice day.

02:01:47.000 In-N-Out is amazing.

02:01:48.000 They also got animal style.

02:01:49.000 Highly recommend if you haven't had animal style.

02:01:51.000 And run by conservatives.

02:01:52.000 That's the thing.

02:01:52.000 People were hating on In-N-Out because it's a California thing.

02:01:54.000 No, they were run by conservatives.

02:01:55.000 They were opposed to the VAX mandate.

02:01:58.000 I do extra crispy at In-N-Out for the fries because otherwise they just blanch them.

02:02:02.000 They hit them once.

02:02:02.000 I think they do it twice for you and get them nice and crispy.

02:02:04.000 See, everybody's always talking about how they want that good old country restaurant where you go in and they're very nice to you and you can relax.

02:02:11.000 I don't want none of that.

02:02:12.000 I want to walk in.

02:02:13.000 I want the server to walk up and say, what do you want? 0.91

02:02:16.000 I want a cheeseburger, bacon, fries, side of mayo, and a club soda.

02:02:21.000 Done.

02:02:21.000 They leave, they come back out, they give it to me.

02:02:23.000 No chit-chat, no BS.

02:02:24.000 You know that I can't stand?

02:02:26.000 I can't stand when I go in.

02:02:27.000 I already know what I want to eat when I go to a restaurant.

02:02:29.000 Before we even go in for the most part.

02:02:31.000 Going to a diner?

02:02:32.000 Yeah, I'm gonna get two eggs, bacon, and sausage.

02:02:33.000 That's it.

02:02:34.000 Question though.

02:02:34.000 So I sit down, and the server walks up, and they're like, um, do you guys need menus?

02:02:39.000 Well, yes, obviously, people need menus to know what they want to order.

02:02:42.000 Me, I know what I want.

02:02:43.000 They'll say, well, I'm just gonna do the drinks first.

02:02:45.000 It's like, bro, we are ready to order.

02:02:47.000 Can you just take our order?

02:02:48.000 No, we need a man restaurant. 1.00

02:02:50.000 Where you go in and they're like, you just say, eggs and bacon!

02:02:53.000 Done!

02:02:54.000 And they bring you eggs and bacon.

02:02:54.000 So you just grunt.

02:02:55.000 You just grunt for the specific item on the menu you want.

02:02:57.000 A breakfast place that only serves two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, nothing else.

02:03:01.000 It's what you get.

02:03:02.000 Go home.

02:03:03.000 Are you gonna make people pay before or after they eat?

02:03:07.000 During.

02:03:08.000 Oh, I like it.

02:03:52.000 Cool.

02:03:53.000 I'm Seamus Coghlan.

02:03:54.000 I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.

02:03:56.000 You guys should go check it out.

02:04:02.000 Thank you for stopping by.

02:04:03.000 I love you guys too.

02:04:04.000 You're great.

02:04:04.000 You're really great.

02:04:05.000 And to the dude that has said you got four kids, man, you're gonna raise great kids.

02:04:09.000 Thank you.

02:04:10.000 I also fasted yesterday for 24 hours.

02:04:13.000 Maybe that was why my mood was dipped today.

02:04:14.000 So I'm easing back into eating life.

02:04:16.000 Fasting is great, man.

02:04:18.000 Yeah, it was really, really good.

02:04:19.000 It was needed.

02:04:20.000 I overate pizza, so I did it to myself.

02:04:22.000 It's my own punishment to myself so that God doesn't punish me.

02:04:25.000 I saw someone cooking a pizza at like midnight.

02:04:28.000 Look no further.

02:04:29.000 He was eating his sorrow.

02:04:32.000 He'd been crying because we didn't get enough likes on the video.

02:04:35.000 It's the Giordano's.

02:04:36.000 I mean, talk about hard to resist, but I just can't cheese myself like that.

02:04:39.000 So not again.

02:04:40.000 Giordano's is like eating a brick of cheese.

02:04:43.000 And it expands slowly after you eat it, like a shot.

02:04:45.000 It takes a while to get drunk.

02:04:46.000 Same with the food.

02:04:47.000 It takes a while to get fat.

02:04:48.000 No, you're right.

02:04:49.000 Like it expands in you.

02:04:51.000 It's true.

02:04:51.000 It's so good.

02:04:52.000 Yeah.

02:04:53.000 It's so good.

02:04:53.000 Thanks everyone.

02:04:54.000 Follow me at iancrossland.net if you want to.

02:04:56.000 Catch you later.

02:04:56.000 Why do we always end up talking about food?

02:04:58.000 I end up leaving so freaking hungry.

02:05:00.000 I'm starving right now.

02:05:02.000 Ian, just plug Giordano's.

02:05:03.000 Does anybody want to go to Waffle House?

02:05:04.000 I'm going to Waffle House.

02:05:05.000 That's a good idea.

02:05:06.000 I like that.
