Will Chamberlain and Dave Smith discuss the latest on the latest in the Trump vs. Ramaswamy race, and the fallout from the Supreme Court ruling that prevents Donald Trump from running for president in 2020. Plus, Billboard issues a new Billboard Hot 100 chart update, and more!
00:00:00.000Ladies and gentlemen, it is a wild week.
00:00:12.000The Republican Party in Colorado says that if they remove Trump from the ballot, as it appears they have, they will not even have a primary.
00:00:19.000They're threatening to withdraw from the primary system and convert to a caucus system.
00:00:24.000And they're telling Vivek Ramaswamy, you need not pull out because we're going to convert to a caucus, so this would basically nullify what this ruling says.
00:00:33.000The ruling would also bar Trump from the general election as well.
00:00:36.000So if they convert from a primary to a caucus, sure, Trump can still win the caucus system and then maybe become the nominee, but doesn't mean he can be in the general election in Colorado.
00:00:45.000Which means, I believe about 1.5 to 1.8 million Republican votes removed from the popular vote count.
00:00:51.000We have a lot to discuss as it pertains to this.
00:00:53.000Now, of course, Vivek Ramaswamy said he would drop out.
00:00:55.000He called on Ron, Christie, Nikki Haley to do the same.
00:00:57.000Ron DeSantis has come out boldly saying, no way.
00:01:01.000He will not drop out because he doesn't think it's legitimate anyway.
00:01:05.000He thinks the ruling will be overturned.
00:01:07.000And he calls us, I gotta be honest, very confusingly says, it would play into the hands of the left to stand with Donald Trump and drop out of the race, which literally makes no sense, but sure.
00:01:16.000We'll talk about that, a bunch of other news surrounding this, and of course, everyone's two favorite words as we're getting into this subject, but I'm not going to give you your satisfaction.
00:01:25.000I'm going to say national divorce this time anyway, because now you don't get to drink.
00:01:29.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to TheBestSongEver.com.
00:01:57.000It's looking like now, and I'll give you an update on this, because this was us teaming up with the Daily Wire.
00:02:02.000Basically, we want to build culture, we want to be funny with it, we want to have a good time, we want to make good music, and we want to tell FU to the music industry.
00:02:10.000We're hearing now that a portion of our numbers, they're not counting.
00:02:15.000And they're telling us they can't count, and I knew something like this was going to happen, because Tom McDonald's had the same problem.
00:02:21.000He puts a song out, gets millions of fits, he should be on the Hot 100 every single time, and they keep him off the list.
00:02:29.000So now, it does look like Billboard's on our side.
00:03:03.000The members only show tonight is going to be very, very, very fun.
00:03:08.000Michael's been hyping it up, of course he's here, he's already laughing, and he was, yes, he's like, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna have a lot to talk about as it pertains to whether there'll be an election and Roseanne and stuff like that, so okay, okay, we're gonna have a good time, so click join us, become a member, and smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends, As I already mentioned, Michael Malice is here!
00:04:30.000From scnr.com, Colorado Republican Party says they will withdraw from primary and convert to caucuses if Trump ruling stands.
00:04:39.000Quote, a majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
00:04:46.000The ruling said because he is disqualified, it would be wrongful, a wrongful act under the election code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.
00:04:55.000The lawsuit was filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, a DC-based watchdog group.
00:05:02.000Vivek Ramaswamy, of course, said that he would withdraw from the GOP primary until Trump is allowed to be on the ballot.
00:05:08.000In response to this, the Colorado Republican Party says you won't have to because we will withdraw from the primary as a party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.
00:05:20.000It's getting pretty dang wild, I must say.
00:05:23.000Now, as we mentioned in the opening to the show, that's great.
00:05:28.000It still doesn't matter because Colorado's Supreme Court says Trump can't even run in the general.
00:05:32.000So if this comes to January 4th, maybe even sooner, Trump is going to appeal to the Supreme Court.
00:05:39.000I think there's a very, very, very strong reason why the Supreme Court will say no.
00:05:58.000Not only do I think they will, I think it would be 7 to 1 or 8 to 0 because the judicial branch, since the beginning, has been very reticent about getting involved when it comes to votes and things like this.
00:06:09.000They really like it to be And Jefferson thought that the Congress should be able to supersede what the Supreme Court has to say.
00:06:16.000They really don't like it when judges strike things off balance and things like that or get involved.
00:06:20.000The other thing that's very important from a legal perspective is Trump hasn't been convicted of insurrection.
00:06:27.000This is something that he's been alleged to have done.
00:06:29.000He hasn't been demonstrated or deranged.
00:06:32.000Isn't that so funny when Trump instead of calling him deranged just calls him deranged?
00:06:35.000Jack Smith chose not to charge him with insurrection.
00:06:39.000So for them to unilaterally basically backdoor insurrection guilty conviction to this is really a bridge too far.
00:06:48.000And when you start interfering with presidential politics and you're like one state, this is something the Supremes really don't like doing because this is a big bridge to cross.
00:06:55.000The Minnesota Supreme Court said, no, he didn't commit an insurrection.
00:07:04.000That was their official They said, I'll pull it right now, but... I thought their ruling was, we do not have, we cannot supersede the U.S.
00:07:10.000Constitution in terms of eligibility for... They said they can't rule on something a major political party can decide, and they noted that he hadn't been convicted.
00:07:17.000So the thing is, there are already Supreme Court cases that say, this doesn't work.
00:07:22.000We have immediate precedent for conflict.
00:07:23.000And wasn't this 4-3 in Colorado, if I'm not mistaken?
00:07:36.000I understand it's a big deal, but like, I do think the Supreme Court would intervene because it's a big deal, but I'll give you, I'll play devil's advocate here.
00:07:45.000If Starbucks decides to hold an election to determine the chairman of the board, should the Supreme Court intervene if Starbucks changes the rules as to how the election is held?
00:07:56.000And this is a private organization, the RNC.
00:07:57.000Yeah, but it's not private because there's all sorts of regulations and things about who can get on the ballot, who cannot.
00:08:04.000For example, California is like a jungle primary in the general.
00:08:06.000There's all sorts of rules and regulations by what parties.
00:08:09.000Because there's many states, for example, where if I want to make it that I'm the Republican Party, only registered Republicans can vote, they still made laws that basically, if you're independent, you can vote.
00:08:20.000Perhaps the Supreme Court does intervene for that reason, saying, The state has no authority to intervene in a private organization's electoral process.
00:08:34.000It said, the easiest path for SCOTUS to take in the Colorado Supreme Court to trump this qualified case is to hold a court has no constitutional role in excluding a presidential candidate from the ballot in the first place.
00:08:44.000That is a choice the Constitution gives to state legislature and Congress.
00:08:48.000However, this is a private entity that is being affected by this.
00:08:54.000But again, it's fair to say this is the state government intervening in a private entity.
00:09:00.000I think there's a strong argument considering what we saw with Texas v Pennsylvania in 2020 that is a 2020 to 2021.
00:09:07.000The Supreme Court simply says the rules for private organizations fall to the state to decide the federal government has no grounds to intervene in what and how a state decides nonprofit entities operate or public good service entities operate.
00:09:23.000But my thoughts also go to George Santos, who, God bless him.
00:09:29.000When there are a lot of people in the House, and I think they had a fair point, and I certainly don't have a particular lot of love for Congress people, when the Congress people are like, we can't kick him out if he hasn't been convicted of anything yet.
00:09:38.000Like, this is really crossing a line that, do you really want to go down this line where, like, we are just picking and choosing who our fellow members are?
00:09:46.000Because that ax is going to be used against us at some point.
00:10:02.000However, I do think the Democrats are going to start screaming 9th and 10th Amendment, saying the federal government has no right to tell a state they can't run their own election as they see fit.
00:10:10.000There's no question that you're correct because the Democrats will take any, you know, opportunity.
00:10:21.000Listen, they're also making the argument that preventing you being able to vote for Trump is saving democracy.
00:10:27.000I sort of see this as an inevitability and an inoculation, like the Supreme Court's going to make a stand and say, precedent, you cannot do it.
00:10:33.000Let's just set the precedent and move on.
00:10:35.000I think it's an inevitability because the regime isn't going down without a fight.
00:10:39.000And I've been saying this for a long time.
00:10:52.000Their entire ideology is you have to tweak the rules until you get the outcome that you want.
00:10:58.000Now in other cases that might be actually a good thing.
00:11:00.000If we're all playing a game and somehow the game always ends up with Ian winning even though we're playing fairly, maybe the rules are kind of skewed for people's hair length.
00:11:33.000The reason I use the term national divorce and not the other one is because... The other one, don't say it!
00:11:38.000I'm not saying it because I genuinely believe It can be done peacefully or very relatively peacefully.
00:11:45.000I am very concerned that even January 6th, a slight bit of violence or 9-11, which was a horrible tragedy and then 20 years of war in two countries had nothing to do with it.
00:11:56.000So when you have this power establishment in place, any little bit of violence is used as an excuse by them to escalate things to the nth threshold and the average people are the ones who pay the price and that's what I'm very concerned about.
00:12:11.000Someone, was it Charlie Kirk or might have been Tucker Carl, I think it was Tucker, said that Winston Churchill in 1940 after World War II broke out, he just arrested all of the opposition party with no charge.
00:12:20.000Abraham Lincoln arrested... No, no, Winston Churchill didn't do that.
00:13:36.000Ronna McDaniel's in the kitchen, smashing eggs with a hammer, telling you she's going to make an omelet, but she's just smashing eggs with a hammer.
00:15:01.000I don't know why they would pick her, but because they're sending her on this national pro-abortion tour, she's basically already on the campaign trail.
00:15:06.000Because they don't want her making trouble in Washington.
00:16:34.000Okay, the thing about the term peaceful, and I hear what you're saying, I'm not saying literally no violence, but I'm saying it could be the kind of thing that's resolved quite quickly.
00:16:46.000Because a lot of times, just like with nature, right, let's use another example.
00:16:50.000You have like a big animal, like a tarsier, it's a protosimian, I saw a video, and it's trying to eat a praying mantis, which is like a hundredth of its size, and that mantis just strikes for its eyes, and then the tarsier is like, oh crap, this is a problem.
00:17:02.000So a lot of times there's enough of pushback, people go to the negotiating table.
00:17:07.000So, I suppose where I don't think what you're saying in any way conflicts with what my view would be, sure, you could have a dissolution of the United States rapidly and very quickly, and then you will see a growing escalation to full-scale war at some point, and some point relatively quickly to the dissolution of the United States.
00:17:26.000We're talking about, we already have conflict between states over resources, over food, over water.
00:17:32.000We already have conflict over weapons.
00:17:34.000When you consider that some states have access to nuclear weapons, there can't be a simple dissolution of these agreements.
00:17:42.000You'd instantly have nuclear-powered countries.
00:17:45.000Staring down and facing down other states and they might say something like your state owes us X for these past grievances and then you will instantly start to see conflict.
00:17:56.000I don't think nuclear weapons are what we have to worry about.
00:17:58.000I think it'll be absolutely insane considering the distribution of resources in the United States and what's a really fascinating idea that I was exploring with a creative IP I was looking at is,
00:18:10.000as we hyper-centralize the production...
00:18:11.000This is the bottom one. I sent you two by mistake.
00:18:13.000As we hyper-centralize the production of various resources, like we have the frack fields in North Dakota,
00:18:20.000you will end up with regions dominant in a singular production.
00:18:40.000I mean, maybe it used to be this way, but because of rail, because of freight, we've centralize these resources, it's going to be very strange if the country breaks apart and one nation or one state says, we need oil, and they start knocking on North Dakota's door, and North Dakota all of a sudden becomes one of the wealthiest states in the world, things like that.
00:19:01.000When we were on the blaze for election night, I just sent you the, I sent it twice by mistake, that's the bottom one, we all asked, what?
00:19:12.000So that's my map for national divorce.
00:19:15.000When we were on The Blaze, we all had to go around and say what we thought it would look like.
00:19:19.000Tim, all your points are taken, and I don't think they're inaccurate at all, but I'm thinking about like North Korea and South Korea have nukes pointing at each other.
00:19:26.000Negotiation is not going to be easy, but I always go back to Thomas Sowell, right?
00:19:31.000And the question he asked is, as compared to what?
00:19:34.000I think the status quo is also going to be Washington increasingly getting militaristic.
00:19:39.000I think especially the stuff going on with schools and kids, when you have things like sanctuary states for like trans kids and things like that, what California is going to be doing.
00:19:47.000I think parents are going to be increasingly radicalized and so on and so forth.
00:19:50.000And at a certain point, things are going to reach ahead.
00:19:54.000The question is, is it going to be full-blown Blitzkrieg?
00:19:59.000Or is it going to be like something pops off and then cooler hands are like, okay, guys, this is getting crazy.
00:20:04.000And if things get crazier, even further, it's really getting out of hand.
00:20:20.000Because I think there's some things I would tweak with this map, but... Yeah, so I think the first thing to consider is when the movie trailer first comes out, everyone says, why are Texas and California aligned and aligned?
00:20:37.000And what that means is, you can certainly make an argument for why you think it would not fall this way, but in terms of how they're envisioning this film and what a divided America could look like, I actually think this is very plausible.
00:20:48.000I don't know if it's the most probable, there's a lot of arguments that we can make as political junkies, but the reason why California and Texas would be in an alliance is not because they share values, it's because neither wants to be conquered by DC.
00:21:09.000In terms of plausibility, you could easily, like, look, when the Civil War... The other thing is just because they're too... I can't, I'm blind.
00:21:17.000Are they aligned in that they're the same country or they're just aligned in like an alliance like the US and Canada are aligned?
00:21:22.000The Republic of Texas and California are two different republics that have an alliance.
00:22:20.000This whole thing, it's just instantly New York and Massachusetts.
00:22:23.000I disagree, because New Hampshire has a lot of people there and they've been planning for this.
00:22:28.000They, it's, if you have, you have... They selected a Democrat governor, didn't they?
00:22:31.000Yeah, but the thing is, there's a difference between intensity of opposition, right?
00:22:36.000So if you have a cadre of like 10% of the population who are really out of their minds and really want New Hampshire to be independent, it's going to be really hard to put those down.
00:22:46.000You know, Luke would come here all the time and advocate for us to move to New Hampshire because of the Free State Project, and I'm like, my friend, you are surrounded on all sides by leftist forces.
00:22:54.000I will say there are, because like upstate New York and like upper Maine are different, they tend to vote red.
00:23:01.000I mean, obviously Maine has Angus King, one of our only independents.
00:23:04.000There are potential, like, rebel factors in there, but I just mean symbolically, like, there is a stratification within those regions.
00:23:16.000I just don't think it's enough to say that they would be able to fight off.
00:23:19.000I think it would be like you were saying before, like, Seattle will have this one blue center, but ultimately that region is controlled.
00:23:25.000I think you would have discontent in New England, but I don't think it would be enough to And a Maine Democrat or even a Connecticut Democrat is not the same as an L.A.
00:24:00.000There are funny memes of YouTube thumbnail.
00:24:03.000The meme is a YouTube thumbnail of Federman saying why I left the left.
00:24:08.000But in all seriousness, people are like, how did you predict this guy so well?
00:24:13.000John Fetterman, he is one of these old school lefties who think the point of government is to help people who've been screwed over by the system, whether it's food stamps or whatever, who thinks politics can be honorable and that politicians shouldn't put themselves on a pedestal and are just like someone trying to make the world a better place.
00:24:30.000So that old school Democrat stuff, which is almost kind of in the late 60s, That's him!
00:24:34.000So when people are surprised that he's taking these stances, I'm like, it makes perfect sense that he'd call it corruption, because in his point, government is something that can be used to help people who have been screwed over, and that argument is one that I don't hate, and I say this as an anarchist.
00:24:47.000There's a lot of people who, when it comes to the topic of civil war, like to point out that the entire country is red except for the cities, and that should civil war actually happen, New York, for instance, is red.
00:24:57.000New York City would not be able to sustain itself.
00:25:00.000But I don't... I agree with that general idea, but people don't understand that...
00:25:06.000In Virginia, for instance, regular people going to and from work aren't going to be thinking about this.
00:25:12.000And so long as there is a weaponized law enforcement or militaristic faction that controls trade routes, those people will be subservient and loyal to whatever the dominant violent faction is.
00:25:22.000There's two questions that I would have to break out.
00:25:25.000One is, and everyone says they have the answer and they don't, because you could say one thing theoretically, when S hits the fan, it's a very different situation.
00:25:33.000No one knows what the actual military would do.
00:25:35.000A lot of people are saying they would never fire on their own people.
00:25:44.000Number two, just another point is, we don't know how effective the corporate press will be in this situation at manipulating public opinion.
00:25:51.000I think there was a graph that came out showing the ratings from the past week.
00:26:01.000I think, like, MSNBC dropped 15% in a week or something like that.
00:26:04.000Yeah, but just because you don't trust them, if they're the only people you listen to, you're gonna say, I hate him, but you're still gonna listen to them.
00:26:10.000If the internet gets shut down... Yes.
00:26:13.000And it can be... People need to understand, it is possible to disrupt the internet Very, very easily.
00:26:23.000It is impossible to stop internet communications, but centralized sources of information, Axis One for instance, where we go to, that's the hub.
00:26:32.000These things can all be shut down relatively easily, and then all you have is the New York Times.
00:27:43.000I'm not saying you don't know, but I'm just saying it's just delightful for me to hear someone who is much more mainstream in his views and more moderate than I, to see very clearly this is what it comes down to.
00:28:01.000We talked about this with Owen Schroyer.
00:28:03.000He said when he... Yeah, talk about a martyr.
00:28:05.000When he went to prison, there were prison guards saying, hey, I'm familiar with your work, I'm actually a fan, but I'm just doing my job, man.
00:28:12.000I would have looked him in the eye and say, you are the evil I'm fighting against.
00:28:15.000If these prison guards went to their bosses and said, I am putting a hand on Owen Schroeder and I'm not going to have any party to what you're doing to him, you find somebody else.
00:28:23.000And if they said, I will fire you, my response would be, my paycheck is not worth my soul.
00:28:29.000But do you think that's... But they all just said, I don't care, I'll lock up a guy I like because I get my paycheck.
00:28:41.000But do you think part of it is that we are a country or people without clearly defined values?
00:28:45.000I think people don't really know what they stand for for it.
00:28:48.000So it's easy to say, well, I just have to stand by my paycheck.
00:28:50.000I think conservatives very much advocate, and this is not generally a wrong thing.
00:28:54.000I think this is actually a good rule in general, to play by the rules And be a good person and not be a troublemaker.
00:29:01.000But they apply that literally 100% of the time.
00:29:03.000And sometimes you want to make trouble because otherwise the trouble's here already.
00:29:06.000I just want to point out real quick, when you search Google for US Civil War, the fourth story is Trump barred from Colorado primary ballot for role in US Capitol attack.
00:30:35.000But they haven't tried looking for other jobs.
00:30:37.000And the other thing is I've modulated my views on the police a little bit because I've spent way too much time watching police body cam footage on YouTube.
00:30:46.000And apparently now snuff films are a thing.
00:30:48.000You just go on YouTube and watch people get murdered.
00:30:50.000There are channels dedicated to nothing but.
00:30:52.000And a lot of times you you respect the police a lot more because they're dealing with an absolute maniac who's just and they have to be like sir or ma'am and it's just like I feel like this is your job I feel for you but then there's videos of some mentally disabled guy having a problem at Target with the self-checkout and they're just manhandling him and the guy's
00:31:11.000like in this voice being like, I didn't do anything and I'm like, if you're putting your
00:31:16.000hands on someone who is mentally disabled or elderly or a child because they're having a
00:31:19.000problem with the cashier, yeah, why did Target call this begin with? Okay, it's a separate question
00:31:23.000and you can look at yourself in the mirror, you are a demon. I mean, this is why the country is
00:31:28.000falling apart. You have many of these leftists and Democrats that want to abolish the police but
00:31:33.000I mean, I think the fair point is- No, they want to abolish policing.
00:31:56.000When the cops arrest Derek Chauvin, they clap and cheer.
00:31:58.000Look at Jimmy, okay, here's another example.
00:31:59.000Look at Jimmy Kimmel, who's crying because his kid was sick, and I don't watch this on almost anybody, and my heart goes out to that kid, and then he's literally laughing, like, you didn't get vaccinated, you go to the hospital, and you're not getting treatment?
00:32:16.000Yeah, I'm done defending these people.
00:32:19.000I'm not going to say anything about his child.
00:32:21.000I'm done defending them or saying anything nice about them.
00:32:23.000I had this view in the 2010s about free speech, where I was like, we have to defend free speech, even for the people that we don't like, because that's the point of free speech.
00:32:33.000And so you had these leftists and these woke people saying, no free speech.
00:32:36.000Then they would get censored, and I'd come out, along with everyone else, and say, unban them.
00:32:54.000If these people come out and they cry, what about my free speech?
00:32:57.000I'll say, you don't deserve it because you don't want it.
00:32:59.000I will give you exactly what you ask for.
00:33:01.000If they start banning people who believe in free speech, I will advocate for their free speech, but I will not defend people who are trying to burn it to the ground.
00:33:07.000When Frank Herbert had this great quote in Dune, he goes, when I'm weaker than you, I ask for freedom because that is according to your principles.
00:33:14.000And when I'm stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
00:34:08.000There's zero chance Trump wins California.
00:34:12.000So this is clearly them building steps for the future because he's not at all concerned Trump is going to get California's electoral votes.
00:34:22.000It's about 10 million Republican votes in California that count towards Trump's general election.
00:34:27.000And so what's going to happen is Donald Trump will win the electoral college with 50 million to Joe Biden or whoever is 70 million.
00:34:34.000Then the Democrats will come out screaming being like, ladies and gentlemen, The man who is currently giving the nuclear football does not represent this country.
00:35:03.000The thing about free speech, free speech is great if people are arguing in good faith.
00:35:08.000But there's a difference between someone who's just a leftist that has progressive views and there's lots of people and there's many strong arguments for progressivism.
00:35:14.000Things like this, that are being done on political, government level, are not being done in good faith.
00:35:20.000This is the bigger issue with getting Trump's name off the ballot.
00:35:23.000Removing him from the primaries on Super Tuesday.
00:35:27.000Yeah, they don't think Trump will win a general election.
00:35:29.000They would strip him of popular vote totals, but more importantly, they remove Trump from the ballot before the primary, Nikki Haley is the nominee.
00:35:38.000But also, they can this way, just say, look, if you're a member of the NRA, you're an insurrectionist.
00:37:58.000No, I think it was signed on the second and then it was not in circulation and publicly known until the fourth.
00:38:04.000I could be wrong, but something like that.
00:38:06.000If you read books, you would think that there's only two genders and no scientist thinks this anymore.
00:38:11.000Not the ones that are allowed to practice.
00:38:12.000Sorry, I just want to mess with the chat room.
00:38:15.000But anyway, back to what's going on with California.
00:38:20.000Let me ask you, if Trump is removed from these ballots, Nikki Haley?
00:38:29.000I don't think Trump getting removed from the ballots, then it's just like, well, we're just going to go ahead with the election and it's whatever plan B is for the Republicans.
00:39:57.000Not 2025, meaning they would overturn the 2020 election and have Trump in the White House by 2024.
00:40:05.000Now, there's a non-zero chance that'll happen next week, but I'm looking— That's zero.
00:40:10.000Right, the idea that Democrats would arrest people, they've already arrested Trump and Trump's legal team and his lawyers and other people involved, so the idea that the Democrats would stage mass arrests is like, maybe like .05.
00:40:21.000But the idea that Trump has reinstated is like, okay fine, it's in the realm of physical reality.
00:40:27.000But like we're talking zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one percent, right?
00:40:32.000It would be more likely that like the Secretary of Commerce becomes president like everyone else gets knocked off Yeah, it'd be more likely that the plot of Designated Survivor happens line for line.
00:41:16.000And it was really funny because she said, everyone knows you have to be 40 years old and cannot have staged an insurrection or whatever.
00:41:23.000And everyone's like, neither of those are true.
00:41:26.000The fascinating thing about Colorado's ruling, the Supreme Court of Colorado, is that Article 3 of the 14th Amendment actually does not include the President, and they even said it in their ruling.
00:41:52.000Steve Deese is really good about this.
00:41:53.000He goes, this has always been, I was shocked that someone who's a conservative and not anarchist can be like, this is a country of will and not laws and it always has been.
00:42:49.000Because there has to be as little or no social cost for opting out.
00:42:54.000If you have alternatives where I can play video games, like Gamergate, I just want to play video games, where I can play video games and get action figures and get laid and watch programs and not be involved with their whole edifice, then we've won.
00:43:36.000Joe Rogan laughed, said it was stupid, and then bought several cases of Bud Light out and drank them with some comedians, like Shane Gillis, I think.
00:43:44.000And Dana White says they're aligned with you more than you realize, and everyone who believes in this country should go out and buy Bud Light.
00:43:54.000Matt Walsh has come out and said, no, the boycott is still on.
00:46:13.000He said a bunch of things that you can't say on YouTube.
00:46:16.000And he said, sponsored by Bud Light, he also just tweeted that January 6th is the most patriotic thing that this country has done in a long time.
00:46:44.000What's going to happen is come April, the wraparound for year-to-year profits is going to hit, Bud Light's going to report earnings, they're going to see a net positive gain because it's a year-over-year, their stock has already recovered, they're going to declare victory over the boycott.
00:46:56.000So what I'm saying is either you join with the likes of Joe Rogan and Kid Rock, Dana White and Sean Strickland and say, ha ha ha, we've won, declare victory over your enemies, But, or, if you do want to maintain the boycott and double down, you need an advancing strategy.
00:47:13.000How are you going to get them to apologize?
00:47:15.000I can't remember who was tweeting about this.
00:48:37.000What I'm saying is there's other organizations that do things that are far more malevolent than take someone who's already an influencer and make them a one-off thing.
00:48:47.000It wasn't that Dylan Mulvaney got a can, it's that Dylan Mulvaney was hired and paid $180,000 to promote Bud Light and a contest they were doing.
00:48:56.000I'm just saying it's important because... I'm saying people think that you could go to Walmart and get a Dylan Mulvaney can.
00:49:09.000The cause of the boycott was that Dylan Mulvaney grabbed a stack of Bud Light, Put them on a table and said, everyone buy Bud Light and use this hashtag to win a contest.
00:49:17.000Hashtag whatever, I don't know, March Madness or something.
00:49:20.000Was paid, according to some reports, $180,000 and Dill Mulvaney's audience is children.
00:49:26.000So people were like, why are they promoting this gender ideology stuff and why are they promoting it to children?
00:49:30.000The media then immediately ran out and said, Bud Light gave a custom can to one person and the right lost their mind to obfuscate and lie about what happened.
00:49:44.000And, like, when you have these publishers who are publishing these books that have pornographic content for kids, they are, to me, are much more malevolent than some Dylan Mulvaney thing.
00:50:13.000It's also important in terms of boycotts and things like this to pick your battles because it's much more useful to take down someone who is both much more evil and who you can win than someone who is just like water for ducks back.
00:50:25.000My view on Bud Light is- And I hate- I don't understand how anyone drinks Bud Light to begin with.
00:51:08.000And real quick, fellow GOP 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy saying he will remove himself from the Colorado ballot unless Trump's eligibility is restored.
00:51:20.000No, I think that's just playing into the left.
00:51:23.000I think the case will get overturned by the Supreme Court, but I've qualified for all the ballots, I'm competing in all the states, and I'm going to accumulate the delegates necessary.
00:51:32.000That's the whole name of the game in this situation.
00:51:34.000But I do anticipate that that decision was political and will get reversed.
00:51:40.000Alright, Governor Ron- For that, he has disqualified himself.
00:51:42.000Do you know what Vivek is really, really good at?
00:51:45.000Vivek is really good- maybe this- he's read too much Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power.
00:51:49.000He's really good at making these bold power moves and forcing everyone else to react to what he's doing.
00:51:54.000That, to me, is political strategy at its finest.
00:52:02.000If the move of the left is to remove Donald Trump so that someone else wins the primary, Ron said, I know what they did is political, and I have secured the delegates and that's the game.
00:52:11.000And if you want to be really pedantic, the California Supreme Court and the left are not synonymous because there's lots of leftists.
00:52:18.000There's lots of leftists who are, I know like people on Twitter freak out, there's lots of leftists who are pro-democracy in this sense who find this unconscionable.
00:52:26.000I will call out, look, Robert Kennedy Jr.
00:52:32.000Tucker Carlson said on IRL on Monday at TPUSA that the people representing Ron DeSantis online are some of the nastiest zero-sum people he's ever seen.
00:52:43.000And instantly they all lose their minds.
00:53:29.000At first I said, this doesn't reflect on DeSantis in terms of the nastiness of his supporters online, but the fact that he won't fire them absolutely does.
00:53:37.000So when Tucker said, it doesn't reflect on Ron, but these people are bad, it absolutely does.
00:53:42.000Why won't he fire Redfern, Griffin, and Pasha?
00:53:44.000If Ian was on Twitter spouting Nazi ideology and you're going to be like, well, it's his opinion, that's crazy.
00:53:51.000Depending, but I gotta be honest, like, we have a very strong free speech bench at this company.
00:53:56.000But, you're right, and I've said this over and over again, there is a threshold I'm willing to tolerate.
00:54:03.000I've said free speech not for those who don't believe in free speech.
00:54:05.000Anybody who wants to come in here, advocate for fascism and taking away people's rights, I'm going to say I'm not going to defend yours.
00:54:11.000At least I'm not going to have to hire you.
00:54:31.000The case will get overturned by the Supreme Court, but I've qualified for all the ballots, I'm competing in all the states, and I'm going to accumulate the delegates necessary.
00:54:40.000That's the whole name of the game in this situation.
00:54:43.000The whole name of the game is for him to accumulate the delegates.
00:54:45.000He will not remove himself, even if Trump has been removed.
00:54:49.000He thinks Trump will be put back on, it's political.
00:54:51.000I'm getting all these dissenters people saying, oh yeah, but you know, he's saying he knows he'll be overturned.
00:56:16.000The left doesn't want to come on the show.
00:56:17.000Well, screw them, they don't have to, but they should.
00:56:19.000And when it comes to the likes of Donald Trump, as I said, Luke Rutkowski will come on here and criticize Trump to no end, even at one point saying he wouldn't vote for him.
00:56:27.000And then he, sure enough, went and voted for him.
00:56:43.000You have Ron DeSantis' supporters, prominent journalists and personalities, and Personas of the Daily Wire, who are saying things that come off as the most pathetic, desperate lies to defend Ron DeSantis.
00:56:58.000Matt Walsh said something that I thought was just, it was cringe.
00:57:03.000He criticized Vivek saying, what's the point of doing this, blah blah blah, and I'm like, it is the most unbelievable thing and inauthentic thing a person could say, acting as though they don't understand what Vivek was doing.
00:59:01.000I mean, the thought, what I heard from some people was like, it's easy to say I'll come off the ballot when you think they're gonna terminate their campaign anyways, which also puts him in a strong position.
00:59:10.000It's one of the reasons that people want Donald Trump back in the White House, because he could only serve one more term anyways, so imagine what he would do.
00:59:17.000It's a very similar mindset, and I think, again, that's a threat to DeSantis.
00:59:46.000When this happened, we all talked about it.
00:59:49.000You want me to go back to May and be like, well, I know what's happening now with Trump, but let's go back in time six months to discuss an old news story that's not relevant right now?
01:01:39.000When Donald Trump was challenging DeSantis, of course we talked about it.
01:01:42.000We talked about it in numerous contexts.
01:01:44.000There's no reason to say this other than you're trying to mislead your audience and act like we don't care that Trump does these things.
01:01:48.000When Laura Loomer tweeted a fake tweet, we presume, from Christina Pasha, that Christina Pasha tweeted the same thing, I said, The DeSantis campaign, the DeSantis people are the scumbags they claim Trump are.
01:02:00.000They immediately ran with it, but Trump doesn't care, Tim doesn't care when Trump does it.
01:02:03.000I said, is Laura Loomer on Trump's campaign?
01:02:06.000And they all, they all think, this is why I say, okay, I'm done with these people.
01:02:12.000Like, we're on stage at a rock concert, and Donald Trump is here, and I thought Ron DeSantis was up here with us, and we were debating what the next song in the set was gonna be.
01:02:24.000I now realize, thanks to the DeSantis fans, Donald Trump is up on stage, we're standing here behind him, cheering him on, and down there in the audience, in the mosh pit, arguing with, you know, with Rick, who's selling cotton candy, is Ron DeSantis and his campaign.
01:02:38.000And they're screaming at us on stage, and I said, Why am I even bothering talking to these people?
01:02:43.000I shouldn't be yelling down to the audience and the fans.
01:02:46.000Let them watch the show and do their thing.
01:02:49.000Ron DeSantis is not a serious contender.
01:02:51.000His influencers are not even viewing themselves as on par with the Trump campaign.
01:03:06.000I mean, Trump is still polling at, like, what, 60%?
01:03:09.000No one has been able to close that gap.
01:03:12.000Here's the question for the table, and I can go either way, but I'm leaning towards one way or the other in his answers.
01:03:19.000Is this 4D chess from the Democratic establishment to force Trump to be the nominee, thinking he'd be much more beatable if he got felonies?
01:03:27.000I mean, that was one of the things DeSantis said today.
01:07:25.000When we came to this country, my mama told me how we had so little money, like on 86th Street and Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, you have a lot of fruit stands.
01:07:34.000And she'd go to the fruit stand on the west side, all the way west, see how much the grapes were, walk all the way to the other side, down the block, and it's not a short block, these are avenues in Brooklyn, see how much the grapes were, and if it's like a five cent difference, she would do it.
01:07:47.000And that's the kind of thing when you're like really poor, you have to make these considerations.
01:07:52.000So, like, there's a few things that get me, like, really, really, really enraged.
01:07:58.000And the flippancy with which inflation is talked about as if, like, oh, it's going to be warmer tomorrow.
01:08:03.000It's like, these are people having to make sacrifices.
01:08:05.000They have to wake up half an hour earlier to get to work because they can't afford, like, some kind of surge pricing or something for the bridge.
01:08:13.000I did a couple of books with DL Hughley, and one of the points he made, which really kind of resonated with me, and I don't agree with him specifically, but he goes, you know, this country hates poor people.
01:08:23.000And I don't think that's true, but it sure doesn't love them.
01:08:28.000And especially people who are in power.
01:08:30.000You know, the lefties traditionally, at their best, are the bleeding hearts who are like, oh, you know, someone's hungry, let's get them fed, let's get them clothes, you know, let's look out for them, and like, you'd laugh at that, but it's like, you know what?
01:08:42.000The older I get, the less I laugh at that, and the more I'm like, we can use a little bit more of that, and it really sickens me how much poor people aren't thought of in this country, because they don't have much power, by definition.
01:09:12.000But when we're looking at North African migrants who paid smugglers $5,000, that's more than a lot of people in this country could afford to spend on moving.
01:09:22.000Now, to be fair, yes, they get here, now they don't have anything.
01:09:25.000Perhaps they shouldn't have spent between $3,000 and $5,000, or even upwards of $10,000, depending on who they're with, to come to this country.
01:09:32.000And now, the fascinating thing is we've got these videos coming up from Ashley St.
01:09:36.000Clair, Nuance Bro had a video, and Taylor Hanson from Tenet.
01:09:41.000These people are being given premium economy.
01:09:44.000They're being flown in the premium seats on airplanes to their choice of destination.
01:10:16.000All I can think of about solving the inflation issue is making fuel cheaper.
01:10:22.000But it's not just fuel, it's also food, it's also rent, it's literally everything.
01:10:27.000Result the reason foods expensive because you got to use fuel to get it from the farm sure factor But that also doesn't it doesn't include human expectation Inflation is also high because people demand clean running water air conditioning refrigeration hot showers a lot of that stuff comes from combustion Which is carbon-based it's your answer graphene.
01:10:43.000It's your answer It's it's it's an overly simplistic answer.
01:10:47.000It's not completely wrong energy plays a huge role in inflation fuel power Particularly.
01:10:50.000But the issue is if people did not want these things, they would work for less.
01:10:54.000Inflation is a huge component of inflation is the demands of the people and what they're willing to work for.
01:11:24.000You're like, okay, well, we need to hire people and they're demanding massive salaries because they want to be able to buy a bunch of stuff the average person doesn't want.
01:11:32.000They make this argument, poverty shouldn't exist, abolish poverty, these other arguments, like, poverty today is wealth 400 years ago.
01:11:45.000Inflation is not just a component of the cost of fuel, it's the demands of the population and what they're willing to work for.
01:11:50.000Inflation and the cost of goods is a component of how much energy a person will expend for one hour in exchange for how much energy do they get back.
01:11:58.000And everybody wants more energy back than they put out.
01:12:01.000Millennials want five to ten times the energy they put out back, and so it's not so simple to just say, cheaper energy solves the problem.
01:12:09.000Because when you, let's say we do have an energy revolution, energy becomes 10% cheaper.
01:12:50.000Or they'll just use more gas-consuming vehicles, like rocket ships.
01:12:55.000No, but this is exactly what they saw.
01:12:56.000When gas got cheaper, people bought gas guzzlers because gas is cheap now.
01:13:02.000You look at this issue and you're like, a single individual can make the decision that because gas is cheaper, I'll live frugally and I'll save ten bucks and buy more food.
01:13:53.000It is absolutely amazing looking at the International Space Station.
01:13:57.000I believe the cost of it was three billion dollars.
01:14:00.000And all of the power of human minds all across the planet came together to develop the technology and the capability to send people into space to live up there for months on end.
01:14:34.000They need to recognize community is important.
01:14:36.000You need to have creativity, culture, and development.
01:14:39.000The problem is, while we have a ton of really amazing people working really hard to develop technology so we can go to outer space, we have too many people who, what does Yuval Harari call them?
01:14:51.000And so the solution, in my view, to the quote-unquote useless eater is, wow, look at all these people that could put their potential to the advancement of human civilization that haven't been properly appropriated.
01:15:11.000Yeah, you can harvest piezoelectricity, like heat and friction from electricity.
01:15:15.000The energy loss from that, the Matrix did that, and the only reason they came up with that concept was because people wouldn't understand the concept of a neural net.
01:15:22.000So, you know, harnessing energy from a human body is ridiculously useful.
01:15:25.000Well, I think, didn't the Matrix just do that because they had to have a reason why they didn't just kill all the people?
01:15:28.000No, it was, uh, the original idea in the Matrix was that first, humans chose the Matrix.
01:15:36.000And that the reason the robots needed them was for a neural network to basically create a massive... Okay, that makes sense.
01:15:43.000Their brains are used to compute the Matrix itself.
01:15:44.000The argument that more people means more expansion isn't, it's not, doesn't track because, like, a deer population, if it expands too rapidly, it'll eat all the food and then it'll starve and have a mass starvation.
01:16:58.000It's just not economically feasible at the moment.
01:17:01.000Perhaps the big concern of the Bill Gates types is that once we come to a point where trivial and menial labor is done by machines, You will only require higher thinking human beings, in which case the quote-unquote useless eater has become a very serious liability.
01:17:18.000We're at a point where I would much rather, and most other people, would rather interact with the touchscreen than the cashier at a fast food place, because the odds of me getting my order correct are much higher, and it's gonna be more faster, more efficient.
01:17:43.000Yes, they have fully automated McDonald's.
01:17:45.000I think it's a McDonald's, I could be wrong, but there was a video I saw where you go to a kiosk and order, and then behind the counter you actually watch the robot arm grab the burger, put it on the grill, take it out, flips, puts it on the bun, then the thing drops all the ingredients.
01:17:57.000Isn't there like a fully automated Taco Bell somewhere in the Midwest?
01:18:01.000It's like a drive-thru completely, there are no humans who work there which I find crazy.
01:18:06.000I'm pretty sure, it may have been Yuval Noah Harari who said this or someone else, but the idea that they have is, when the next industrial revolution happens, to avoid a Luddite riot, What you have to do is before the revolution, placate the masses by stimulating dopamine, put them in a situation where they can play video games all day and get free food.
01:18:27.000They will eventually just die off and then you won't have to worry about violence.
01:18:33.000So what's interesting is you have that book right there which I just interviewed Alex Jones about, The Great Reset.
01:18:38.000And his entire book is about quotes from these guys where they're not just, it's not like horror porn, they're advocating for Brave New World.
01:18:46.000They're like, this is what we want, there's no other way around it.
01:18:49.000And I don't think that, I think this is actually a real concern because what if you are a millennial, low IQ, low ambition, a sense of entitlement, what am I gonna, what am I, I'm gonna be making, I'm gonna be breaking cobalt in the mines?
01:19:14.000Are any of us upset that entitled, woke millennials will go lock themselves in a pod eating bugs and playing The Matrix?
01:19:21.000At a certain point, if they're all on welfare, it's going to become costly and someone's going to be like, why are we paying for all these people in their pods to play video games?
01:19:30.000So they don't run around burning everything down because they don't want to break rocks.
01:19:34.000Sure, but the point is then they start reproducing and they start voting and all sorts of other things start happening.
01:19:38.000Which is why they're also sterilizing themselves and aborting their children.
01:19:42.000Sure, but I don't think they're all... sterilizing themselves means thinking ahead, so a lot of them are not going to be thinking ahead because they're operating on a pleasure principle.
01:19:51.000Have you seen the... there's an article that was being shared, it said, study finds single women are... women are happier when they're single and childless.
01:20:03.000I think that's what it was, and it showed up a clip from the show Girls, and then my response was, yeah, until they're 35.
01:20:10.000And so what's happening is, you have this corporate press apparatus telling all these young women not to have families, and they buy into it.
01:20:16.000But the thing is, this isn't even some hypothetical sci-fi thing.
01:20:22.000It's already been happening for years.
01:20:23.000Alex Jones described it as, they tell you they're setting bear traps, and if you are too stupid to avoid them, it's your own fault.
01:20:30.000I don't think it's too stupid, it's too trusting, and we're taught since we're kids to trust these people, so it's very hard to be like, holy crap, I've been lied to since kindergarten.
01:20:38.000We definitely, here's what we're going to do.
01:22:57.000This is what I've been warned about is coming.
01:23:00.000When the guy in Wisconsin had BLM show up to his house, his private residence, protesting, and he brandished a shotgun, the police showed up and arrested him, and BLM cheered for it.
01:23:12.000They don't want to abolish the police.
01:23:13.000They want the police to just arrest you.
01:23:16.000Yes, I mean, that's been crystal clear from day one.
01:23:44.000They're the most likely to be killed, raped, whatever, all this other stuff, and they're the least likely to have access to legal services to have some kind of retribution or justice.
01:23:52.000Well, and then they're trapped in communities that have all of these issues and we never find a way to solve them because ultimately we're funding it by saying, we don't need to really investigate these causes.
01:24:02.000We'll just say, here's money, we'll fix it.
01:24:04.000Also, we'll let you out of jail, go back in the community, we'll never address the core issues.
01:24:43.000I'm like, there's this great line in Fast and Furious 4, where the bad guy says... Would I follow this line if I haven't seen the first three?
01:25:14.000There's an article I read a while ago about a study on universal basic income and they were trying to find women, I think in Jackson, Mississippi, to come be a part of this UBI test for like a year.
01:25:24.000And when they were approaching women, they were like, well, the thing is, I don't want to lose my benefits because once I have them, it's difficult.
01:25:30.000If I lose them, it's difficult to get back on them.
01:25:32.000So it's better to maintain them for as long as I can.
01:25:35.000And that's a really interesting system, right?
01:25:37.000Because ultimately, theoretically, any sort of social service like that would be to help you for a small amount of time to get back on your feet.
01:26:12.000Unemployment should be you get some little bit, but then if you get a job, you get more, and then that lasts for six months, and then you're only eligible every five years to get that path or something.
01:26:21.000There should be an incentive to get a job.
01:26:22.000But we could also head this off in schools, right?
01:26:24.000Like, we could have high schoolers who are all graduating with the requirement that they have some level of financial literacy, that they understand the consequences of credit card debt, of student loans, but we don't do that, right?
01:26:34.000And the obvious example with student loans is that the government wants you to agree to take out student loans, which are crippling, That at 18 you may not know the consequences of and that you are dependent on them.
01:26:43.000You are waiting for Joe Biden to forgive them and hopefully he will and maybe if we vote for him again he'll finally forgive the student loans that are ruining my life.
01:26:49.000Or transition from college is this liberal arts idea of this like 1890s creating the next generation of elites to have more of a mentorship apprenticeship program.
01:26:56.000Instead of four years at Yale I'm spending four years at some company and I'm starting from the bottom and I have a mentor within the company who teaches me the ropes.
01:28:00.000I was talking to some Missouri State Reps saying this should be the thing that you make your bones on.
01:28:08.000You should get rid of no-fault divorce in your state because as soon as one state does it all the other states will follow.
01:28:13.000I think this is something the culture really wants to change and we see that the argument like oh you know people don't believe abuse or whatever else like those things are so different in the modern era and restructuring the family and creating social support systems that begin at home is really important.
01:28:27.000There was a story that since the overturning of Roe... No fault divorce, you take that away, you're going to be getting a lot more rape accusations for innocent men.
01:28:36.000Because why wouldn't women play that card?
01:29:15.000And just because something is a good thing, does it mean, like the idea that, for example, let's suppose the vaccines actually prevented COVID and COVID was deadly, but you're probably going to get the flu for two weeks.
01:29:26.000It's a cost, but it's a cost you're willing to pay because the cost outweighs the bigger cost.
01:29:31.000So, but people don't think of those terms.
01:29:32.000Like, you can't say, like, this is something you have to do, even though it's going to hurt a little bit.
01:29:36.000It has to be, this is something that has to do, and there's never a cost to it.
01:29:39.000It's called opportunity cost economics.
01:29:42.000I think the issue for humans is that they only ever want to drift towards the path of least resistance.
01:29:47.000And so the reason why you have wokeness today is that Uh, all that is required for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.
01:29:53.000So when the woke left starts causing destruction, damage, pain, and suffering, it is easier just to bow your head and say, let it go, let it go, you'll choose your battles, and now here we are.
01:30:02.000Another big problem is when people become obsessively goal-oriented and it's like, I want that goal at any cost.
01:30:06.000If the goal is to remove the fence, Really what we should be doing is making a plan as to how we're going to take that fence down because there's a lot of ways the fence could get removed.
01:30:15.000There's a lot of ways that the Department of Education could disappear and one of them would be like the United States disappearing or like a global conglomeration.
01:30:22.000So we got to be real careful about how we're going to disassemble this thing if we want to do it and still maintain semblance of peace and order.
01:30:29.000There's a book by Carol Markowitz and Bethany Mandel called Stolen Youth, which I just read.
01:30:34.000You think that a lot of the stuff that's going on in schools, like right-wing propaganda and people frothing at the mouth, but the receipts you see and talking to parents about what's going on in schools, because we're not in school, so we're kind of oblivious to it.
01:31:02.000Math is good, but a lot of that stuff, it was real America-centric.
01:31:06.000My history lessons, Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America.
01:31:09.000I don't think we need to teach our kids that in the future.
01:31:12.000I'm open to living on a farm in some foreign country and just teaching the kid how to farm and eat fruit and identify plants and the real important stuff.
01:31:23.000I don't know if I'm totally responding to what you're saying, but I disagree.
01:31:26.000I think having a sense of patriotism is good, and I think it is a way to build common ground between people who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds.
01:31:34.000I think if we just made it as like, well, America's just whatever, it will actually further stratify the cultural enclaves that we have in this country.
01:31:41.000Here are things we aren't taught in schools.
01:31:49.000If there was just a course, I learned in junior high how to calculate the dew point in Brooklyn and how to calculate when the water's saturated in the earth when there's too much rain.
01:31:58.000I was not taught to calculate interest rates or- I learned about photosynthesis.
01:34:03.000We need your support and I'm really excited because it'll mean that Jeremy Boring, Michael Knowles, Tim Pool, Carter Banks, we will all be on the billboard charts.
01:34:11.000I think we're there in some fashion, probably at a low ranking right now.
01:34:14.000We need to sell, I don't think, we're definitely not going to hit it.
01:34:17.000If we sold like 50,000 we'd be hot 100.
01:34:19.000and then you're on the list. Do you know how close you are?
01:34:21.000We're not gonna hit it. We're like 25% maybe.
01:34:24.000If everybody listening right now went to thebestsongever.com and downloaded it,
01:34:30.000then Together Again would very likely be a hot 100 song, and it would be the funniest thing ever
01:34:35.000because then the entertainment media would have to write about why we were able to do this,
01:35:13.000Sure, certainly for political reasons.
01:35:15.000When we published our first song and it was not even political, we got an email back from one entertainment publication saying, go F yourselves.
01:35:40.000Because what they'll do is the label will go to a streaming platform and they'll say, Do you want, insert celebrity artist, then you've got to guarantee us that you're going to put this guy on rotation and we want this song played every 16 times, which guarantees them X million hits, which guarantees them charting on Billboard and all of these things.
01:35:59.000And so when we're talking to various people in the industry and we're like, what do we have to do to hit these, you know, these same metrics?
01:36:06.000Like, how do we get a, we have a new song, it's in this genre, it's in this, they'll never let you in.
01:36:11.000I know a lot about this from my genre, which is publishing.
01:36:14.000The New York Times bestseller list, which is by all accounts the most respected and desirable list that you get on, it has very little to do with sales.
01:38:11.000When we're finally able to do that is when they're going to drop a load in their pants.
01:38:14.000Actually, I think it's when it- Because this is industry only.
01:38:17.000It's when it gets into a movie, like a really popular- No, no, no, dude.
01:38:20.000If it gets into a big popular movie, then it's like outside of your hands because it's the kind of song where people are going to pick it up and play it locally.
01:39:15.000In all seriousness, how it works is the CAA director casts CAA actors and actresses and has a CAA production assistant and has CAA affiliated musicians to do the soundtrack.
01:39:47.000It could, as the Daily Wire is doing now, help drive sales, which is why we teamed up with them.
01:39:52.000Both of, both Jeremy Boring, Michael Knowles, me, Carter Banks, are all like, we have been pushing back on woke industries and their control of these systems, so the only thing they cannot prevent is if we sell enough, we hit hot 100, and then the entertainment media is gonna be dropping a load in their pants, being like, they are invading our spaces and we can't stop them.
01:40:11.000And the other thing is, it's not just specifically woke, it's also in-group and out-group.
01:41:36.000I am such a hipster that when I was on Rogue, and I think the time before last, I wore a t-shirt from a Tweed Pop band, that I'm like, okay, I'm gonna get all these accolades, because not one person knew the band.
01:41:47.000Not one person in the comments anywhere was like, oh, he likes that band.
01:41:50.000So we're going to read some super super chats.
01:43:23.000Cats are really in tune with how you feel, so if there's stress in the environment, they'll go away from it, and if you're really in a good mood, they'll come join you.
01:43:30.000My cat never hid from me, and right at the end of his life, the only time he ever hid from me, it was really sad.
01:43:44.000Yeah, I don't think Mr. Bocas can psychically sense our emotions.
01:43:47.000I think he is sick because his kidneys are failing, and so he is hiding because it's an instinct cats have to hide from predators when they're weak.
01:43:54.000And for this, the more he tries to hide, the more worried I become.
01:43:57.000If it was just that some people here are stressed out, I actually wouldn't feel bad at all!
01:44:01.000But I choose not to live in those worlds.
01:44:03.000I choose to live in the world of medical science.
01:44:05.000Sometimes it's like a self-perpetuating cycle where cat looks ill, and then you become nervous and sad, and then the cat becomes more ill, and then you become more sad.
01:44:14.000But if you can stay positive, he comes back out and he gets very active.
01:44:19.000Drewish AF says, Tim, I cannot use PayPal, so I can't buy the best song ever as your link to receive the Casper discount.
01:44:28.000Any alternatives for longtime Timcast members?
01:44:31.000I think that was basically the only way we could actually make that work.
01:44:34.000You can buy the song on iTunes, and we were number one on iTunes in the first day, which is awesome, but we are not pushing iTunes sales because we have this discount code.
01:45:16.000I just have like a vending machine on the desk.
01:45:19.000I think for people who think that America is doomed or the West is doomed, first of all, I always say we don't need a majority, we just need an alternative.
01:45:26.000But there are so many people, especially young people, who are champing at the bit to be able to support creators that they like and are just like, how can I support you?
01:46:18.000Please find a way to bring the insane clown posse on to the culture war woo-woo I think we did talk about booking them one Yeah, violent.
01:46:26.000I violent J's autobiography is very good.
01:46:28.000Yeah, what's their politics like are they they're they're lefties They're they're very here i this is a red pill moment for me i remember like this must have been 10-15 years ago i had one of their albums friend gave it to me and it's actually there's like what there's a song called still stabbing because like it starts with i still have this stabbing problem it's a sequel to the song stabbing and i had a job interview and the guy interviewing me was like 27 i was just mentioned i maybe wasn't job interview so he was like my uh i was doing temping work
01:46:54.000And I was talking about this band and he sings about throwing the head of the record label out the window and he rides on the bicycle seat without the seat because he killed the post worker.
01:47:03.000And he goes, yeah, man, some people are so crazy.
01:47:06.000And I'm like, they call themselves clowns.
01:47:30.000So I would love to meet Violent J or Shaggy.
01:47:32.000All right, Hunter Killer says, with this ruling, they're getting dangerously close to a contingent election happening.
01:47:38.000Yeah, I think that's another possibility.
01:47:40.000We may see Trump v. DeSantis, RFK, Biden in 2024, if the GOP is split.
01:47:47.000They pull Trump off the ballot, DeSantis wins, Donald Trump runs as an independent, RFK independent, then it's Democrat, Republican, independent, independent.
01:47:55.000Donald Trump, of course, wins the plurality, which gives him Well, the plurality of numbers, but not the Electoral College, which results in a contingent election where state delegations will then have to choose.
01:48:06.000The left then says, Trump not only didn't win, he only got 27% of the vote, or, you know, 31% didn't even win the Electoral College, and his cronies appointed him, and they'll use it as justification for their extreme violence.
01:49:24.000And I'm like, I was going to start my Indiegogo, but I'm going to do it when I was going to launch on the show and see if we could fund it live.
01:49:30.000But I'll come back when I'm ready to do it.
01:49:32.000We're going to have a completed album, I think, around like maybe February or March.
01:49:54.000Ideally, we just get to the point where we spend a million bucks, get like 500 songs from a bunch of different artists out, and we just... We want to funnel money into creative people.
01:50:03.000It's not just about the music that I or Carter is making.
01:50:06.000We're just not at this point yet because we're small.
01:50:09.000It's like Carter's the one guy who's running all this stuff.
01:50:12.000Ideally, within the next year, we have two or three more bands, some producers, and we're putting out like two or three songs a month from different artists.
01:50:47.000So we made a fake song mocking them called Together Again.
01:50:50.000And then I said, let's make a modern version of this and put it out there and just promote it like crazy and then get it on Billboard and then keep mocking them.
01:51:09.000Bikin153 says, I think the reason Colorado is pushing so hard to get Trump off the ballot is because SB19042.
01:51:15.000It was passed in 2019 and says that Colorado's electoral votes go to the winner of the national popular vote instead of who Colorado votes for.
01:51:46.000My friend made a documentary about the electoral college and I'm blanking on the name and I feel really bad.
01:51:51.000But one of the points he made in the movie is, if you have abolished electoral college and you just have the popular vote, it makes it a lot easier and encourages a white nationalist candidate.
01:52:01.000Because all you have to do is advocate to whites, which are the biggest group by population in this country by far, and you get enough of them, you have the election.
01:52:08.000Why pitch toward a group which is 2% or 13% of the population, when you could pitch to a group that's 50% of the population, and just with their numbers alone, a few from the others, you're going to have everything you take.
01:52:19.000It's a very dangerous strategy on the part of the left.
01:53:16.000Feds and liberals in cities would lose to people capable of self-governance and survival within six months when their oil ran out with zero infrastructure.
01:53:24.000I think more importantly, if there was an actual civil war, you'd see attacks on infrastructure instantly.
01:53:30.000Industrial control systems are very vulnerable.
01:54:37.000Oh yeah, this is the follow-up on the Clinton, pardon, F-A-L-N commutation, 1999.
01:54:42.000It was Clinton's commute of the census.
01:54:45.00016 members of this F-A-L-N, a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set up 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago.
01:55:39.000I feel like a general opinion of the right is, we like our police officers, but too many police in big cities are completely corrupt and appointed by Democrats, which exposes the vulnerabilities of the policing system.
01:55:50.000But I think also conservatives are now realizing who's going to come for your guns.
01:57:32.000My point on Bud Light is If conservatives' position is there is no redemption ever for any company that crosses them, that is exactly the meme of the left pushing the guy to the right and then arguing that he's joined ranks with the right.
01:57:50.000There's redemption when there's... But look, I don't care about redemption.
01:57:56.000That's fair, but the point is, I agree there's a room for redemption, but the gesture has to be, we learn from our mistakes and we won't do it again.
01:58:02.000I think people can be redeemed, but corporations are just, shut them down.
01:58:08.000A corporate apology matters in the culture war in that it resonates culturally.
01:58:12.000And so, if the argument from people right now is, and it is strongly, even in the chat, they're like, no, no, we must do nothing, we're stopping where we are.
01:58:20.000I'm like, You need to take everything Sean Strickland has said and start cheering for that and Bud Light as a means to force Bud Light to issue a statement.
01:58:29.000That makes much more sense to me, yes.
01:58:31.000Yeah, I'm like, doing nothing, everyone's like, the boycott stays.
01:58:34.000My position on Kid Rock, Dana White, Joe Rogan is, major cultural forces have argued for, we've won.
01:58:42.000That means the victory and gain here is minimal, but at the very least, you send a message to corporate America, if you cross us, we destroy you, but if you side with us, we will make you wealthy.
01:58:53.000Yeah, you punish the bad behavior, you reward good behavior.
01:58:55.000I don't think you need to reward good behavior.
01:58:57.000I think it's more of a march through the institution, where if they mess with you, you wound them, and then you continue your march.
01:59:03.000And if another corporation does it again... That's not what march means.
01:59:05.000March through institutions is Gramsci's idea, and the idea is you seize institutions one by one.
01:59:49.000at some point did they show it's not like that it is it is really it is really it is really simple
01:59:54.000bud light sponsored dylan mulvaney and it pissed everyone off and kid rock said that was bad
02:00:01.000Bud Light gives UFC 100 million dollars, and says, oh okay, UFC is way more based, got way more people who are pro-Trump, Trump walks into UFC to fanfare, I think we got this one.
02:00:31.000Sending money to the UFC is a structural victory.
02:00:34.000It's not the greatest culture war victory.
02:00:35.000It's not exactly what you want, but if you're not satisfied with it, you cannot do nothing.
02:00:40.000And the idea that all anyone has to do right now is just not buy Bud Light is wrong.
02:00:44.000And so my argument has been, everyone please, Sean Strickland said January 6th was the most patriotic thing this country's done in a long time.
02:00:51.000Everyone should take that tweet, quote tweet it, with a picture of them holding up Bud Light saying, thanks Bud Light for paying for this message.
02:00:57.000Thank you for sponsoring this and fueling patriotism.
02:01:00.000The other thing I'm wondering about, I could be wrong, it seems to me, remember like not that long ago Linda Sarsour was everywhere?
02:01:38.000If everybody listening right now just spent that 69 cents, you would save a crap ton of money on cast brew coffee, and you would help us and the guys of The Daily Wire push back on woke industries.
02:01:48.000and support our endeavors in creating new cultural machines.
02:01:51.000We're going to build our own music industry, and it starts with a snowball rolling down a hill.
02:02:06.000And for those of you guys who are Christmas orphans, we'll be doing a Christmas live stream from Austin, the Austin crew.
02:02:12.000It's gonna be me, the side surfs who do those realistic cakes, Ty Rivera, and a few, Lex Friedman, supposedly, and a few other people.
02:02:20.000So I think it's really important, like you were saying earlier, Tim, that we create spaces for people to be able to feel like they're part of a community.
02:02:26.000And that's one of the things I'm so excited about being in Austin, being able to be a part of that.
