Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Putin Challenges Biden To LIVE Debate, But Biden Is Too Weak w-Kurt Schlichter

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:37.000 you Joe Biden.

00:00:43.000 Tough man.

00:00:44.000 He took on Corn Pop with the strength of the hero we'd expect. 0.93

00:00:49.000 He looked Corn Pop in the eyes and said, I'm sorry, I called you Esther.

00:00:52.000 And then Corn Pop put away a straight razor, and then Biden breathed a sigh of relief.

00:00:56.000 That's the kind of leadership you need.

00:00:57.000 Someone who recognizes they have to apologize and be deferential to those who threaten them.

00:01:01.000 Which is why it's interesting that Joe Biden was willing to apologize to Corn Pop, but then called Vladimir Putin, what do you call him, a stone-cold killer?

00:01:08.000 He's like, I looked him in the eyes and said he was a killer.

00:01:11.000 And in response to this, Vladimir Putin was like, okay, how about we have a debate?

00:01:15.000 Live.

00:01:16.000 And that's the story right now.

00:01:18.000 And I think we'll have to talk about whether or not, I think it'll be interesting to talk about whether or not anyone has confidence in Biden, because I just put it in the title, I'm like, dude, Biden's too weak.

00:01:25.000 He's not gonna be able to handle this.

00:01:27.000 Vladimir Putin would walk all over him.

00:01:29.000 And it pains me to say this, I don't want to speak ill of the president compared to the Russian president.

00:01:35.000 We've got to be honest with ourselves.

00:01:36.000 So we'll talk about this.

00:01:37.000 We've also got some other crazy stories.

00:01:38.000 Democrats are trying to remove sitting members of Congress, Republicans, and they want to install a Democrat who lost her election even after the Republican is already seated, certified, and winning.

00:01:49.000 This is the power grab.

00:01:50.000 They're going after Kavanaugh.

00:01:51.000 They want to change election laws.

00:01:53.000 It's exactly what we thought was going to happen.

00:01:54.000 Joining us today to talk about all this stuff, we've got Kurt Schlichter.

00:01:57.000 Hey, glad to be here.

00:01:58.000 Introduce yourself.

00:02:00.000 Introduce myself?

00:02:01.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:02:01.000 What are you doing in my house?

00:02:02.000 Oh, I'm a guy, you know, I'm a raconteur, man about town.

00:02:06.000 You're a retired army colonel?

00:02:08.000 Yeah, who isn't?

00:02:09.000 Senior columnist for... Yeah, I guess, you know, every other person who comes on.

00:02:12.000 Well, hell, everybody on your show is a colonel this week.

00:02:15.000 Everybody this week.

00:02:16.000 No, but you're also a senior columnist for Town Hall?

00:02:18.000 I am.

00:02:19.000 I'm an author of a number of books, including the Kelly Turnbull series of conservative novels, hailed by Bill Kristol as appalling.

00:02:26.000 So I'm very excited about that, and I write for Town Hall three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and occasionally I go on the Twitter machine and... You cause trouble.

00:02:37.000 Well, a little bit.

00:02:39.000 You told me I was wrong earlier.

00:02:40.000 I did, I did.

00:02:41.000 I was like, I criticized your tweets, but I don't want to bring up that journalist because I don't want to... You don't want to make a thing?

00:02:47.000 It's not that I don't, it's that, but also I don't like giving people like, they get a shout out from it.

00:02:53.000 You know what I mean?

00:02:54.000 Yeah.

00:02:54.000 So we're really not talking about that.

00:02:56.000 What I think the interesting part is, is you can say, Kurt, you were wrong.

00:03:01.000 And I can go, Oh.

00:03:02.000 Well, that's interesting.

00:03:03.000 And we aren't in a fist fight.

00:03:05.000 We're not rolling around in the mud punching each other.

00:03:08.000 We're canceling each other.

00:03:09.000 It's like America. 0.79

00:03:10.000 It should have been.

00:03:10.000 Did it used to be that way?

00:03:11.000 and then we had a conversation, it was actually a rather interesting one.

00:03:13.000 And here we are, and that's kind of the point.

00:03:15.000 But that's not the way...

00:03:17.000 It's like America. 0.79

00:03:18.000 Yes, it used to be. Did it used to be that way? I don't remember.

00:03:21.000 Well, we had...

00:03:24.000 It wasn't fistfights.

00:03:25.000 It was just kind of people were mad at each other, disregarded, disrespected each other, but now it's like you literally show up to your house with bricks.

00:03:31.000 Well, and in canceling each other, and there's a... I think we're going to talk a little later about somebody who got canceled today, and she probably didn't see it coming.

00:03:39.000 Oh yeah, definitely.

00:03:39.000 So there's a crack forming in the woke cancel culture.

00:03:44.000 Actually, a black woman was canceled for being racist against Asians, which flips the whole privilege thing on its head because Asians are supposed to be more privileged than white people.

00:03:53.000 I thought I was double white.

00:03:54.000 Is there a brochure I can consult to get the whole hierarchy of oppression?

00:03:58.000 I know I'm at the bottom.

00:03:59.000 Kurt, it's easier than this.

00:04:00.000 All you have to do is bend the knee to those who are woke and just say, tell me what to say and you're safe. 0.97

00:04:07.000 It would be, that would make my life a lot easier if I was so inclined to be a groveling sissy. 0.98

00:04:12.000 I am not so inclined.

00:04:13.000 Ah, well, now you're gonna get cancelled, you know?

00:04:15.000 See, the nice thing is, if you... You watch Star Trek?

00:04:19.000 I do not watch Star Trek.

00:04:20.000 I've made love to a woman.

00:04:24.000 Those are fighting words!

00:04:27.000 The old Star Trek where you got Captain Kirk and he's all, you know... It's cool.

00:04:31.000 I was gonna... He's a little chubby.

00:04:33.000 We can identify with that.

00:04:35.000 We talked about the four lights meme yesterday.

00:04:40.000 Have you ever heard anybody say that on Twitter?

00:04:42.000 Four lights meme?

00:04:43.000 Yeah, so Captain Picard is being tortured, and they're trying to force him to say... Oh, I think I heard of that.

00:04:48.000 Say there's three, and there's five, and there's really four.

00:04:50.000 But there's actually four.

00:04:52.000 It's just a meme now representing people who refuse to say the lie.

00:04:55.000 How does that relate to a red pill?

00:04:57.000 If you take the red pill, you say there's four.

00:05:00.000 I want to mix the sci-fi memes.

00:05:04.000 So if someone were to say there were five lights, they're either completely blue-pilled or they're subservient to those who are torturing them.

00:05:10.000 Which is pretty much the same thing.

00:05:12.000 Right, right.

00:05:13.000 Here's my question, though.

00:05:14.000 Could Neo take on old school Captain Kirk?

00:05:17.000 Picard? 0.97

00:05:18.000 Yeah, he's crusty and a sissy. 1.00

00:05:19.000 Neo from the Matrix? 0.98

00:05:20.000 Neo from the Matrix versus Captain Kirk.

00:05:22.000 I think we need to explore those.

00:05:24.000 He'd win.

00:05:25.000 He'd download a kung fu.

00:05:25.000 Was Captain Kirk in the Matrix or had they already broken out of it?

00:05:29.000 We'll get into all this.

00:05:30.000 Ian, and hold on.

00:05:32.000 You look a lot like Greg Kinnear.

00:05:33.000 I just needed to get that out there.

00:05:34.000 Thank you.

00:05:35.000 I mean, it's freaking me out.

00:05:36.000 I'm sitting here going, that's freaking Greg Kinnear, man.

00:05:39.000 I'm not pounding the table.

00:05:40.000 Okay, don't do it.

00:05:41.000 We got Ian here.

00:05:42.000 That's one of our roles.

00:05:42.000 Don't pound the table.

00:05:43.000 What up everybody?

00:05:44.000 Ian Crosland in the house.

00:05:47.000 Greg Kinnear coming at ya.

00:05:48.000 Boom! 0.99

00:05:52.000 That's no, you're supposed to.

00:05:56.000 I'm here.

00:05:57.000 I am actually here, but Kurt is stealing the spotlight.

00:05:59.000 It's already off the rails.

00:06:01.000 I know.

00:06:01.000 See, Malice warned you about me.

00:06:04.000 He did.

00:06:05.000 Yes, it's true.

00:06:06.000 And we're going to have a great time tonight.

00:06:07.000 It's going to be awesome.

00:06:07.000 All right.

00:06:08.000 Before we get started talking about Vladimir Putin and all that stuff, go to TimCast.com, become a member.

00:06:12.000 There we go.

00:06:12.000 Because look, we face the possibility of censorship every single day.

00:06:17.000 There's legit things we can't, there's like names we can't say.

00:06:20.000 There's things we can't say.

00:06:20.000 YouTube will delete the stream instantly.

00:06:22.000 That's pretty heavy.

00:06:23.000 podcast.com in the event, you know, we get purged, you can find us there.

00:06:26.000 And as a member, you get access to exclusive members only posts.

00:06:30.000 And yesterday we talked about that Biden green screen conspiracy theory.

00:06:34.000 I think we debunked it, you know, pretty, pretty well.

00:06:38.000 And we talked about that with Jack.

00:06:39.000 We also ended up talking about God, I guess, because for some reason, this just, it just

00:06:43.000 happens like pretty heavy.

00:06:44.000 That's why I'm here.

00:06:45.000 We have conversations and then all of a sudden it turns into conversation about God and the

00:06:49.000 So, hey, if you want those exclusive segments, sign up.

00:06:52.000 We're gonna have one later with Kurt, and it'll be a whole lot of fun, because I think, you know, Kurt's very high energy and probably gonna swear a lot.

00:06:58.000 On the members-only one, you're allowed to swear, right?

00:07:00.000 Oh, wow!

00:07:01.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:01.000 I better have another of those Starbucks expressos.

00:07:10.000 Give us five stars, all that good stuff.

00:07:11.000 Ladies and gentlemen, the big news today is that Vladimir Putin has challenged Joe Biden to a debate, a live debate, after Biden called him a killer.

00:07:22.000 Biden spoke out about the Russian president in an ABC News interview this week.

00:07:26.000 ABC News reports, Quote, I've just thought of this now, Putin told a Russian state television reporter.

00:07:31.000 I want to propose to President Biden to continue our discussion, but on the condition that we do it basically live, as it's called, without any delays and directly in an open, direct discussion.

00:07:42.000 It seems to me that would be interesting for the people of Russia and for the people of the United States.

00:07:47.000 They say Putin's invitation seems to amount to a challenge to Biden to a live televised debate following a day of diplomatic uproar that began when Biden said he thought Putin was a killer in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.

00:08:00.000 Russia recalled its ambassador to the U.S.

00:08:02.000 in response to the remark. 0.99

00:08:04.000 Now, I think Vladimir Putin's a killer. 0.98

00:08:07.000 Well, I think Vladimir Putin thinks Vladimir Putin's a killer. 1.00

00:08:10.000 I think he's proud to be a killer. 0.97

00:08:11.000 I know, do you think he was like, oh man, he called me a killer. 0.71

00:08:14.000 Can you believe that?

00:08:15.000 He called the ambassador home to high five him.

00:08:18.000 I mean, the guy was a KGB colonel.

00:08:20.000 Yeah.

00:08:21.000 All right.

00:08:21.000 He's, you know, he's not, he's not Mr. Rogers.

00:08:24.000 He was like watching TV.

00:08:25.000 And then when Biden said it's like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme where he like points at the TV and then like, you know, his KGB buddies are like, yeah.

00:08:33.000 They're like, dude, the president just shouted you out.

00:08:35.000 And he's like, yeah.

00:08:36.000 Oh, I know.

00:08:37.000 You called me killer.

00:08:38.000 Thank you.

00:08:38.000 because he wants Biden to say it more.

00:08:39.000 Oh, I know.

00:08:40.000 You called me killer.

00:08:42.000 Thank you.

00:08:43.000 Not even that.

00:08:44.000 It's like Biden calling him a killer is good for Vladimir Putin.

00:08:48.000 It makes him look strong.

00:08:50.000 It makes him look, you know, dangerous.

00:08:53.000 You know, look, I, I, I was old school cold white.

00:08:57.000 I was literally in the Cold War in the army.

00:09:00.000 And I learned a lot about how to fight Russians and everything. 1.00

00:09:03.000 I kind of don't like the Russians. 1.00

00:09:04.000 I do like the Ukrainians.

00:09:06.000 I spent a lot of time there.

00:09:07.000 Yeah, Ukraine's cool.

00:09:08.000 Ukraine is cool.

00:09:10.000 But this Russia is not the threat it used to be. It is a threat. It 0.99

00:09:18.000 is not a pure competitor. It's got a lot It's like a midget with a strong right arm. Do you remember 0.98

00:09:24.000 when Obama called them a regional power?

00:09:27.000 You know, he they're not quite a regional power But they're not quite the superpower that they were because

00:09:33.000 they can't project force the way they did They do have nuclear weapons.

00:09:36.000 But look, if you want a real threat, it's China. 0.94

00:09:39.000 And if you don't want to talk about China, you talk about anything else, including Russia.

00:09:44.000 We're extremists!

00:09:46.000 Have you ever heard of China Uncensored?

00:09:48.000 I have not heard of China.

00:09:49.000 They're a big YouTube channel.

00:09:51.000 They talk about China and things that are going on there.

00:09:53.000 And they mentioned that, you know, when Biden was transitioning, some of the people were fairly pro-China, speaking about how it was good that jobs were going there.

00:10:02.000 There was a certain, like, diplomatic incident, I suppose, where these guys were deferential to China.

00:10:07.000 And there's fears that as, you know, China's taken Hong Kong already.

00:10:10.000 Yes.

00:10:11.000 They're imprisoning the Uighur Muslims. 1.00

00:10:13.000 They want Taiwan. 0.96

00:10:14.000 And they will take Taiwan. 0.97

00:10:15.000 And Joe Biden will not do anything to stop them.

00:10:18.000 Joe Biden's going to have a decision point when they move on Taiwan.

00:10:21.000 First of all, they war game it.

00:10:22.000 They know how to do it.

00:10:23.000 And I'm not talking about anything outside of open source stuff.

00:10:27.000 You read this stuff anywhere.

00:10:29.000 There are war games recently revealed where for years Americans have been,

00:10:34.000 you know, we practice war games and we lose against China.

00:10:38.000 And China's got a lot of advantages when you look at Taiwan.

00:10:41.000 Taiwan's very close.

00:10:43.000 Taiwan's very far from us.

00:10:45.000 We have to put ourselves on a few bases, which are easy to hit, easy to target, small concentrated areas.

00:10:52.000 We also have very few ships compared to what we used to.

00:10:54.000 We used to have, what, a 600 ship navy with Ronald Reagan, I believe.

00:10:59.000 We're now under 300.

00:11:00.000 Wow, really?

00:11:01.000 Yes.

00:11:02.000 Are there a lot of submarines that we don't know about?

00:11:05.000 There is nothing people don't know about.

00:11:07.000 You can't, like, secretly build a submarine, because it's, like, ten billion dollars.

00:11:14.000 And they know where our submarine bases are, where we manufacture submarines, so you take satellite pictures of them.

00:11:19.000 What if they have, like, a subterranean manufacturing plant?

00:11:25.000 Moving all the materials in would be noticeable.

00:11:27.000 I think it's kind of hard to hide a ship.

00:11:32.000 You can hide.

00:11:32.000 Submarines can hide out at sea, obviously, but they have to come in and they have to restock and refit.

00:11:37.000 Right, right.

00:11:38.000 So, I mean, I think we know the numbers.

00:11:40.000 The problem is the numbers are growing for the Chinese.

00:11:42.000 The Chinese are a serious military.

00:11:44.000 You don't find them doing a 60-day stand down for the extremist boogeymen who don't exist.

00:11:50.000 Look, I spent 27 years in the military, OK?

00:11:53.000 I didn't meet any white supremacists.

00:11:55.000 I didn't meet any extremists.

00:11:57.000 I met people who wanted to do their job.

00:12:00.000 And... Well, then what you're basically telling our audience is one of two things.

00:12:03.000 Either you didn't look hard enough, or you're lying to protect them.

00:12:06.000 That's the only, the only... That's only possible.

00:12:08.000 Joe Biden says, okay, we gotta weed out these extremists.

00:12:11.000 Okay.

00:12:12.000 So, so what's going on, huh?

00:12:13.000 Which one is it?

00:12:14.000 Well, yeah, man, checkmate!

00:12:17.000 Good point.

00:12:18.000 Um, no, it's a, it's a lot easier to talk about, you know, mythical extremists.

00:12:23.000 They're claiming the Gadsden flag was a sign of extremism.

00:12:26.000 Like some guy had on his Facebook profile, the Gadsden flag.

00:12:28.000 And so he got removed from DC, you know, guard duty or whatever.

00:12:32.000 It's the symbol of the American revolution.

00:12:35.000 Like don't some states have that as their state flag or something on their license plates?

00:12:39.000 Maybe the American revolution is going to be branded extremist.

00:12:42.000 I wouldn't be surprised.

00:12:43.000 They've already got the 1619 Project, claiming that the real founding of this country was 1619.

00:12:50.000 So actually, they've already said the American Revolution was racist.

00:12:54.000 They've said that it was a bunch of racist white landowners trying to preserve their slavocracy.

00:12:59.000 It's really weird how the beneficiaries of all this alleged supremacy stuff are also the very same people promoting it.

00:13:10.000 Yeah.

00:13:11.000 It's weird because it's all affluent establishment types.

00:13:16.000 And of course, the establishment has changed.

00:13:18.000 It's no longer like, you know, the guy who has Buick dealership in town.

00:13:22.000 Instead, it's the professor of gender studies.

00:13:25.000 Did you hear about the elephant walk that we did in Guam this past year?

00:13:29.000 Um, I know we did one.

00:13:31.000 And you know we were treated, right?

00:13:32.000 Oh, really?

00:13:33.000 We were treated because I guess Trump or somebody ordered that we were going to do a show for us.

00:13:39.000 Long story short, my understanding.

00:13:42.000 China sent a strike force through the, you know, the Strait of Taiwan or whatever.

00:13:46.000 And this was a show of force.

00:13:49.000 The U.S.

00:13:49.000 responded with what's called an elephant walk, where we get bombers and fighters and they start going around the runways in Guam.

00:13:55.000 And then they retreated because the U.S.

00:13:57.000 was advised China could blow up that base with a snap of a finger and our planes would be able to get off the ground. 0.84

00:14:03.000 It is a problem that the Chinese have decided to pursue an asymmetrical Offensive they look they find our weaknesses. 1.00

00:14:12.000 The thing is we have a limited number of bases.

00:14:14.000 Okay on land So you just target everything there?

00:14:19.000 We have a problem.

00:14:20.000 They've got all a China and they have mobile missiles. 0.99

00:14:23.000 Yeah, so if they you know Where's the missile?

00:14:26.000 I don't know.

00:14:27.000 It's on Chinese Highway one going up and down the coast and I mean, I think this is why Joe Biden calling out Putin has been nothing but good for Putin.

00:14:35.000 I think the whole Russia narrative has been nothing but good for Russia. 0.96

00:14:40.000 It projects America saying Russia is the greatest threat.

00:14:44.000 And then they can use that to puff themselves up, make them seem bigger than they really are.

00:14:47.000 It's kind of a sugar high.

00:14:49.000 I mean, they kind of know, you know, that half our population is going to die at 57 of vodka poisoning because they make it in the radiator of a Zill truck. 1.00

00:15:01.000 Do they really do that or are you just being a jerk? 1.00

00:15:05.000 I'm being a jerk. 1.00

00:15:07.000 But, you know, you never know, man. 0.99

00:15:09.000 I mean, if you spend time over there, I spent time in Ukraine, not Russia.

00:15:13.000 I've seen I've seen them.

00:15:14.000 Those dudes, right?

00:15:16.000 Yeah, man, you don't want to drink the stuff they hand you.

00:15:18.000 Oh, no, no.

00:15:18.000 I was going to say they figure stuff out.

00:15:20.000 They do.

00:15:20.000 They're smart.

00:15:21.000 Yeah.

00:15:22.000 Well, when you've got limited resources because of communism.

00:15:24.000 Oh, yeah.

00:15:24.000 They figure out how to make vodka on a radiator.

00:15:27.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:15:28.000 The thing is, we're going to see that more here tonight.

00:15:31.000 The thing is working overseas and I work overseas in Kosovo among primarily among the Albanians.

00:15:37.000 And these guys, they were just no law.

00:15:39.000 They were smuggling and scamming because they had had to.

00:15:44.000 For a thousand years, other people had conquered them and oppressed them.

00:15:47.000 So there was no law and order, right?

00:15:50.000 These are not guys who stop at the stop sign at 3 a.m.

00:15:53.000 in the morning when they're out driving.

00:15:54.000 Americans will because we're used to law and order.

00:15:57.000 We're used to, well, if somebody breaches a contract, I'll go to court and my contract will get enforced.

00:16:03.000 If somebody hits me with a bat, a cop will arrest them.

00:16:07.000 We kind of take that for granted so we act as if there's law.

00:16:11.000 Russians never did that because there wasn't. 1.00

00:16:13.000 It was all arbitrary.

00:16:15.000 The Albanians didn't in Kosovo until we started putting things into place there.

00:16:19.000 And I think that's one of the things we're losing here as people lose the ability to appeal to institutions to protect them.

00:16:29.000 Whether it's the Department of Justice, Do you see what Glenn Greenwald tweeted recently?

00:16:33.000 And the news media should be out there saying, hey, look at these towns ruined because jobs

00:16:39.000 are going to shift off to China.

00:16:40.000 But they won't do that because that makes Democrats look bad.

00:16:50.000 About journalism?

00:16:51.000 Yeah, Glenn Greenwald tweeted.

00:16:53.000 Give me more.

00:16:53.000 If you think the real power centers in the U.S.

00:16:56.000 are the Proud Boys, 4chan, and Boogaloos, rather than the CIA, FBI, NSA, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley, and spend most of your time battling the former while serving the latter as stenographers, your journalism is definitely... ish.

00:17:12.000 Accurate.

00:17:14.000 How weird is it that a hardcore conservative like me is saying, yeah, Glenn Greenwald got a good point.

00:17:21.000 I mean, this guy is not a conservative like I am.

00:17:23.000 Definitely not.

00:17:24.000 He's progressive.

00:17:27.000 You know, I think we have a common framework where we want institutions that function.

00:17:33.000 You know, we've been talking about this a little bit, we've talked about it before,

00:17:35.000 moral frameworks, and we were talking about how the United States is founded upon a Judeo-Christian

00:17:41.000 moral framework. Whether or not secular individuals realize it or not, when they say things like,

00:17:46.000 I don't get my morals from the Bible, you actually do.

00:17:49.000 Like, you were raised in a culture that valued certain things.

00:17:52.000 Free speech, classical liberalism.

00:17:55.000 If you grew up in China, you'd have a different set of beliefs.

00:17:57.000 If you grew up in India, if you grew up in Pakistan, the people there have a different culture and different set of beliefs.

00:18:02.000 You didn't naturally come to the ideas of classical liberalism.

00:18:05.000 It actually took a very long time, and the American Revolution was proof of that.

00:18:10.000 I bring that up because what I think we're seeing is, why is it a staunch conservative like yourself is sitting here going like, Glenn Greenwald is correct.

00:18:17.000 Well, it's because your moral framework is based on the same, similar ideas.

00:18:21.000 True.

00:18:21.000 Or mostly the same.

00:18:22.000 While you disagree on a ton of policy and political ideas.

00:18:25.000 Exactly.

00:18:25.000 You come from a similar root moral framework.

00:18:28.000 Yeah.

00:18:28.000 These woke leftists and all these Democrats have a completely different moral framework.

00:18:33.000 Exactly.

00:18:33.000 They have completely rejected it.

00:18:36.000 And that is one of the reasons our institutions are collapsing.

00:18:41.000 I call it cultural trust fund babies, right?

00:18:44.000 None of these guys built these institutions.

00:18:46.000 The institutions all really came into being before or after World War II.

00:18:50.000 You look at academia, right?

00:18:55.000 They haven't changed that much.

00:18:56.000 You look at a college today, the way they teach, and a college the way they taught in 1946.

00:18:59.000 Yeah, you got some video and stuff now, but essentially it's some guy standing in the front of the room in front of a bunch of hungover students yapping at them.

00:19:08.000 All our institutions, from the news media to the Department of Justice, academia, even the NFL, they're all tired and exhausted and they are run by the cultural trust fund babies.

00:19:22.000 Look at the Kennedys, you know?

00:19:24.000 John F. Kennedy, kind of a dynamic guy!

00:19:27.000 Third generation Kennedys.

00:19:29.000 They're at a crack house.

00:19:32.000 Who are these guys who run things?

00:19:35.000 They haven't achieved anything.

00:19:36.000 They didn't build it.

00:19:37.000 Except the tech guys.

00:19:38.000 They kinda did.

00:19:41.000 So that's a little different, but other than tech, all the institutions are run by people who didn't build them, didn't create them, and are frankly unworthy.

00:19:48.000 They're just inheritors.

00:19:49.000 They got a credential.

00:19:50.000 They say generational wealth only lasts three generations.

00:19:53.000 Bingo.

00:19:54.000 You've got the first generation that earns it, the children who saw their parents working, and then the grandkids who have no idea and just got money and lived with it.

00:20:02.000 Bingo.

00:20:03.000 And they are squandering that inheritance.

00:20:06.000 You know, these guys, they think that this whole American thing where they live prosperous and safe is like the natural state of being.

00:20:14.000 Dude, get out more! 1.00

00:20:16.000 Okay, you've been to the favelas, I hope I pronounced that right, in Brazil.

00:20:20.000 Yeah, I've been to Complexo do Alamão, the biggest favela complex.

00:20:24.000 Yeah, not a lot like America.

00:20:26.000 It's getting better, but you're right.

00:20:28.000 But it's a very different state of nature.

00:20:30.000 They pacified them, that's what it was called, when it was the, I think it was the Was it the Bopi?

00:20:36.000 Or it might have been the Kore. 0.90

00:20:37.000 There's these two different, like, SWAT groups.

00:20:40.000 They went in with big guns.

00:20:42.000 And they killed everybody who got in the way.

00:20:44.000 Exactly, yeah.

00:20:49.000 The thing is, because they didn't build it, because they didn't suffer to create it, they didn't earn it, they're squandering it, and they think it's always going to be there for them, But if things degenerate to the natural state of man, which is power, I think they've got a problem.

00:21:09.000 Oh, definitely.

00:21:09.000 Because a lot of these people are not particularly well suited to a world where life is nasty, brutish, and short.

00:21:17.000 They don't think it exists.

00:21:19.000 Let me tell you, you know one of the first lessons of being a, you know, like a CD hustler, music hustler in the street?

00:21:25.000 You may have seen these people back when CDs were bigger.

00:21:27.000 They're walking around the city, and they got a stack of CDs, and like, yo, yo, here, buy my CD, buy my CD.

00:21:31.000 And you're like, I don't know who you are, I don't know what your music is, why would I buy your CD?

00:21:34.000 There's a reason why they don't give the CD away.

00:21:36.000 They want you to listen to their music, but they know, if they give you the CD for free, you know what you're gonna do?

00:21:40.000 You're gonna throw it away.

00:21:41.000 Throw it in the trash! 1.00

00:21:42.000 Yeah.

00:21:42.000 But if you give them a buck for it, now you're like, I bought this.

00:21:45.000 Like, I don't wanna throw it in the garbage.

00:21:46.000 At least gotta listen to it.

00:21:47.000 Yeah, well, it's something of value that I had to, you know, work for.

00:21:50.000 You give it to them for free and they don't value it at all. 0.95

00:21:52.000 And you put it on, it's My Chemical Romance, and you go, damn it, I wish I'd thrown it away! 0.58

00:21:55.000 Well, I don't think My Chemical Romance is going around selling CDs in the street. 0.52

00:21:58.000 I don't know, maybe they should.

00:22:00.000 Are they still a thing?

00:22:02.000 Yes, they are.

00:22:03.000 I don't know.

00:22:03.000 Maybe, like, 17 years ago, maybe.

00:22:05.000 I don't know! 0.71

00:22:06.000 It's like a crappy band, you know? 0.53

00:22:07.000 All right, all right. 0.97

00:22:08.000 Nickelback is easy, but, you know... Just offend all the Millennials. 0.99

00:22:11.000 I'd rather go with the My Chemical Romance.

00:22:14.000 Don't they play a song that everyone plays at prom?

00:22:16.000 I don't know.

00:22:17.000 I'm sure, yeah.

00:22:17.000 I don't know.

00:22:17.000 I'm a Replacements and Clash guy.

00:22:19.000 Emo.

00:22:21.000 Well, so, anyway, I think it's a really important point, because we were talking a lot about this yesterday with depressed Millennials.

00:22:28.000 Yes.

00:22:28.000 They don't work.

00:22:29.000 They sit around all day.

00:22:30.000 And then you were mentioning something interesting.

00:22:32.000 You were saying that for many of these people, that lockdown is like their Woodstock.

00:22:36.000 It is.

00:22:37.000 And I'm going to write about this at town hall on Monday.

00:22:41.000 This is excitement.

00:22:42.000 Look, why are dystopian novels so, and entertainment, so exciting?

00:22:47.000 Why do people actually put up with watching The Walking Dead?

00:22:52.000 Because it shows them what a world would be like that they're in, but actually has challenges, has risks.

00:23:01.000 Human beings like excitement.

00:23:03.000 Look, you were telling me a little earlier about how you got gassed by tear gas.

00:23:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:23:08.000 I mean, let's look at it objectively. 0.81

00:23:10.000 What kind of lunatic goes towards a chemical irritant?

00:23:14.000 I did when I was in the army. 0.91

00:23:15.000 I volunteered.

00:23:17.000 And then we were like, OK, now you got to go in this chemical, you know, this little hut and we're going to burn CS and make your eyes water.

00:23:22.000 And we're like, no, no, no.

00:23:24.000 But secretly, we're like, If I do that, I'm pretty cool.

00:23:26.000 Yeah.

00:23:26.000 And you went towards it, too.

00:23:28.000 Well, so there's a reason.

00:23:30.000 We're trying to document what's going on in these conflicts.

00:23:33.000 So I was in Brazil.

00:23:34.000 I've been in a bunch of different conflicts in the U.S., you know, riots and stuff.

00:23:37.000 Brazil, substantially more brutal.

00:23:39.000 And just the story was in the U.S., I see all of these activists, all these lefties getting probably the lowest grade CS smoke I've ever experienced in my life.

00:23:48.000 And it's like your eyes are watered.

00:23:50.000 CS for kids.

00:23:51.000 It's the kid's pop of chemical irritants.

00:23:53.000 Well, the police say it's not even tear gas.

00:23:54.000 Oh, it's just smoke.

00:23:55.000 Don't worry.

00:23:55.000 But it is an irritant.

00:23:56.000 It is tear gas.

00:23:57.000 It's just the lowest grade.

00:23:58.000 And I see these people, like, coughing and gagging and crying and everything.

00:24:01.000 When I was... This stuff is nothing.

00:24:03.000 When I was in Brazil, they used, like, the top-tier military-grade stuff that was so intense.

00:24:07.000 Like, the guy I'm with has got, like, just snot pouring out of his face, and he's braving through it because he's been in actual war.

00:24:12.000 His eyes are swollen.

00:24:14.000 I'm sitting there.

00:24:14.000 I ripped my sweaty sock off, shoved it in my mouth, and we run through the smoke to keep filming.

00:24:19.000 The Brazilian rioters, they did the same thing.

00:24:21.000 Like, these people have seen real hardship and real conflict.

00:24:24.000 Oh, yeah.

00:24:25.000 These American, you know, they're soft, man. 1.00

00:24:27.000 Americans are soft. 1.00

00:24:28.000 See, that was the purpose.

00:24:30.000 A lot of hard people did a lot of hard work to allow a generation not to have to do any of that.

00:24:37.000 But the problem is human beings, it's like if you don't exercise, you get fat and lazy.

00:24:42.000 But mentally, you also get kind of fat and lazy.

00:24:46.000 If you're not challenged.

00:24:48.000 That's why, you know, people do extreme sports, do skateboarding. 0.68

00:24:53.000 You get screwed up skateboarding.

00:24:55.000 You get hurt.

00:24:56.000 And you don't do that because, I mean, but you do it anyway because it fills a need inside you.

00:25:04.000 And I, I, You know, and I think some of the Antifa stuff is a little bit of that, too.

00:25:11.000 Of course, it's- They want conflict.

00:25:13.000 Yeah, but it's baby-proof conflict.

00:25:14.000 They want to fight a war.

00:25:15.000 Right.

00:25:15.000 They know they're gonna- They know the charges are gonna get dropped.

00:25:18.000 Yup.

00:25:18.000 They know the cop's not gonna shoot them.

00:25:20.000 That's why we call it LARPing.

00:25:22.000 It's really funny.

00:25:23.000 I was at one of these protests.

00:25:24.000 It was a riot slash protest.

00:25:26.000 It was a riot because Antifa showed up and attacked people.

00:25:28.000 But it was a bunch of, it was like patriot prayers, a bunch of right-wing groups singing religious songs in a park, in a federal park in Portland.

00:25:34.000 Antifa showed up with weapons and bricks and they were chanting Nazi LARPers at the right-wingers who didn't even pay attention to anything they were saying.

00:25:42.000 The right-wing group showed up, showed up literally to have an event to be religious.

00:25:46.000 It was like a religious event.

00:25:47.000 Antifa showed up, thinking they were Nazis, accusing them of being... LARP is live-action roleplay.

00:25:54.000 And I'm talking to these people, and I'm like, you realize they don't know or care about who you are or what you're doing.

00:25:58.000 They're singing songs about Jesus.

00:26:00.000 Literally, they were singing songs about Jesus and America.

00:26:02.000 You guys have shown up, dressed in black with weapons, thinking you're fighting in a war.

00:26:06.000 You're live-action roleplaying.

00:26:08.000 There's no war.

00:26:09.000 It's just a 50-year-old guy there with a beard, and he's talking about why he likes religion.

00:26:14.000 He's not talking about oppressing anybody. 0.98

00:26:16.000 You guys have shown up to attack and beat people.

00:26:18.000 This is what they do.

00:26:20.000 They need a purpose.

00:26:21.000 Their lives are meaningless.

00:26:22.000 Yes. 1.00

00:26:23.000 And so they found something to fill the void, so they go around thinking they're fighting this grand battle as la resistance, when in reality the cops are like, these dumb kids. 0.97

00:26:32.000 The charges get dropped, they get told to go home. 0.98

00:26:34.000 At a certain point, you've got to punish the kids.

00:26:37.000 You know what I mean?

00:26:38.000 And I'm not saying lengthy prison sentences or beatings or anything like that.

00:26:41.000 I'm saying, at a certain point, You arrest them, you charge them, and then they get, you know, two weeks in jail or something, or a month in jail, whatever the penalty is, for burning down buildings and smashing windows.

00:26:52.000 Right now, it's baby-proofed.

00:26:55.000 It's baby-proofed.

00:26:56.000 They know they're not gonna get hurt.

00:26:57.000 And what really chaps me...

00:27:00.000 is watching what's happening with the Capitol Hill people from January 6th.

00:27:06.000 Yeah, they're getting the brickstone at them.

00:27:08.000 They're getting the book thrown at them, and then guys in Portland are getting tossed out.

00:27:12.000 There's got to be one standard.

00:27:14.000 It is unsustainable to have two standards.

00:27:19.000 History teaches that.

00:27:20.000 For God's sake, people, don't flush what we have here down the toilet for your short-term gain.

00:27:27.000 No, no, no, you don't understand. 1.00

00:27:28.000 See, all these dumb people who go around LARPing don't realize they're the useful idiots for those that want the system torn down by any means necessary. 1.00

00:27:37.000 That's their intent. 1.00

00:27:38.000 And they're built up with them in charge.

00:27:40.000 Yes, but it's not so much like, you know, I know many of these people.

00:27:45.000 I've spoken with them during Occupy Wall Street.

00:27:48.000 The way they described it was, they said, we want to flip the pyramid over.

00:27:51.000 Most people When they hear that, make a very simple assumption.

00:27:55.000 You have the pyramid with the wealthy on top and on the bottom is the working class. 0.86

00:27:59.000 You flip it over and now the working class are on top. 1.00

00:28:02.000 You know what I said?

00:28:03.000 If you took a stack of bricks in the shape of a pyramid, flipped it over, it'll crumble into a crude pyramid.

00:28:08.000 It'll crumble into a pile of bricks with one of the working class on top. 1.00

00:28:11.000 And they went, exactly.

00:28:13.000 That's going to be us.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, that's gonna be us.

00:28:14.000 Me and my pals.

00:28:16.000 So they're not talking about taking the system and they're quite literally talking about burning everything you hold dear to the ground and then standing on top of the rubbles and yelling at you to go fetch them water and food.

00:28:27.000 They know the end result of this will be total chaos and destruction.

00:28:31.000 They want it because to them.

00:28:34.000 Being the king of chaos is better.

00:28:37.000 It's a higher standard of living than they are as a working class individual. 0.94

00:28:40.000 So maybe there's, you know, hundreds of millions of working class people in this country.

00:28:44.000 They don't care.

00:28:45.000 They think that they'd be better off doubling their net worth.

00:28:47.000 If that, they would make themselves the richest people in the country with a net worth of a hundred bucks.

00:28:52.000 If it meant they were the richest person in the world, they would destroy everything just to be on top of everybody else.

00:28:58.000 It is absolute corruption and drive for power.

00:29:02.000 No, I think you're correct and I also think that they have not thought this through particularly well.

00:29:11.000 There are, you know, history is rife with examples of people push too far.

00:29:19.000 And right now we have a system where people still believe in the system at essence.

00:29:23.000 People are still using the court system.

00:29:25.000 They're still using the law.

00:29:26.000 They're still appealing to the media.

00:29:29.000 And it doesn't always work.

00:29:30.000 It doesn't work the way it should.

00:29:32.000 But it's not complete chaos yet.

00:29:34.000 But boy, what if it was, and people realized, I've got nothing to lose.

00:29:39.000 Then you start seeing really ugly potential stuff.

00:29:42.000 And that's what we have to stop.

00:29:46.000 But you know what?

00:29:47.000 These Antiva types and far leftists actually will survive a lot better than your average American. 0.96

00:29:53.000 Now, I don't mean conservatives.

00:29:55.000 Like, the conservatives who are paying attention to news, who know how to use guns, and know how to actually be out in the wilderness and do hard work, well, they're gonna be in the top tier.

00:30:05.000 Let's say the entire country breaks down for some reason, and it's just chaos.

00:30:09.000 Survivalists are going to be the kings of the castle.

00:30:11.000 They've already got their castles, they've already got their food, they don't need nothing from you, and they're armed to the teeth.

00:30:15.000 You're going to have a series of conservative groups and ex-military who are going to be doing very, very well organizing.

00:30:21.000 They've already got their friends, they've already got their training, they'll, you know, harden up, plus the militias.

00:30:27.000 Regular liberals will be at the very bottom.

00:30:29.000 Antifa will be above them.

00:30:31.000 These regular urban city types, who've never fired a gun, who've never grown food, who just work in their office job, will have nothing- no skill translatable to the real world in terms of survival.

00:30:41.000 it is uh you know i i remember reading uh max brooks uh world war z there's a very entertaining book yeah and there is a scene in there where a uh a rich rich lady is being taught how to clean houses And by her former maid, right?

00:31:00.000 The whole society is broken down into a dystopian thing.

00:31:03.000 Psy is broken down and the maid is teaching this woman how to clean houses because everybody's got to have a skill because everybody's got to work, okay? 0.98

00:31:10.000 You can't be a diversity consultant anymore.

00:31:12.000 You know, we don't need any more gender studies teachers. 1.00

00:31:16.000 We need somebody who knows how to disinfect the toilet so people don't get sick. 0.96

00:31:19.000 Field sanitation is an important thing.

00:31:22.000 And that just struck me.

00:31:25.000 A lot of these people rely on the framework of society that they're busy supporting the people undermining.

00:31:34.000 That's right.

00:31:35.000 And it's baffling to me.

00:31:37.000 Look, I saw society break down in the LA riots.

00:31:41.000 I was in Los Angeles with the army for three weeks.

00:31:44.000 And I also saw what happened in Kosovo.

00:31:49.000 And I know history.

00:31:50.000 None of this is a surprise.

00:31:53.000 Tell us about how the LA riots kicked off and what was going on.

00:31:56.000 Why were you down there?

00:31:57.000 Well, I had gotten out of the army and I had sold all my guns back in Germany.

00:32:02.000 Sounds like a mistake.

00:32:06.000 In retrospect, I was living in Pasadena and I went and joined the Cal National Guard, an infantry unit in Inglewood, which is a much nicer place than it was back in 1992.

00:32:21.000 And, uh, the, uh, verdict came down from Simi Valley where they acquitted the police officers.

00:32:27.000 That was, so Rodney King gets beaten.

00:32:28.000 Rodney King.

00:32:29.000 Cops get off.

00:32:30.000 Yeah.

00:32:30.000 And, uh, trouble started.

00:32:33.000 And I'm watching the news and I, you know, I'm new to the unit.

00:32:36.000 I, I call up, Hey, are we getting mobilized?

00:32:38.000 No, of course we're not getting mobilized.

00:32:39.000 I go, Oh, okay.

00:32:40.000 I knew enough about the army to pack, but I didn't have a gun. 0.99

00:32:43.000 So I'm like, damn. 0.99

00:32:44.000 Okay. 0.99

00:32:45.000 So I pack like an hour later.

00:32:46.000 Yeah, we're mobilizing.

00:32:47.000 Get down here.

00:32:48.000 So I got to drive into South Central.

00:32:51.000 Okay, no gun.

00:32:52.000 And I have a Chevy Beretta.

00:32:54.000 Not a Beretta pistol!

00:32:55.000 Beretta car!

00:32:57.000 And I drive up to this LAPD roadblock.

00:33:03.000 The guy's got a Remington 870 shotgun.

00:33:05.000 He comes up to me and goes, what the hell are you doing here?

00:33:07.000 I go, I gotta go to my army unit.

00:33:10.000 He goes, what, you got a gun?

00:33:11.000 I said, no.

00:33:12.000 He said, you still want to go in there?

00:33:13.000 I said, not really, but I don't have a choice.

00:33:15.000 He goes, drive real fast.

00:33:16.000 Stuff's burning.

00:33:18.000 So, boom, I drive in, and most of my guys were from South Central, and they were all packed.

00:33:25.000 The Army, in its finite wisdom... They had a bunch of guns, right?

00:33:28.000 They had their own.

00:33:29.000 Were they like, here you go, buddy?

00:33:31.000 Well, believe me, I saw more guns there than I'd ever seen in my life.

00:33:35.000 All the military ammo had been centralized at one location, because it's easier to count that way.

00:33:41.000 A little hard to distribute, but everybody had guns, and we went out on the street very soon thereafter.

00:33:51.000 Three weeks.

00:33:52.000 And it was very ugly.

00:33:53.000 And I was in the battalion commander's vehicle, and we drove around, and it was an ugly scene.

00:33:59.000 But there was no law and order.

00:34:04.000 I mean, all the things we take for granted were just completely gone.

00:34:09.000 Things were burning.

00:34:10.000 People were scared.

00:34:11.000 You had the Koreans on the roost with their rifles. 1.00

00:34:15.000 They knew how to regulate.

00:34:16.000 Now we're hearing because there's this, like, rise in hate crimes against Asians, Asians are getting armed like crazy right now.

00:34:22.000 Good!

00:34:23.000 I support every American owning firearms.

00:34:26.000 That's the legend of the roof Koreans. 0.99

00:34:28.000 The rooftop Koreans. 0.99

00:34:29.000 Yeah, in the LA riots.

00:34:30.000 Did you see any of that stuff?

00:34:32.000 I don't remember.

00:34:32.000 I don't think I was in Koreatown.

00:34:34.000 Right.

00:34:34.000 I lived in Koreatown briefly.

00:34:36.000 It's crazy.

00:34:36.000 Crazy to imagine this.

00:34:37.000 Like, I would go for frozen yogurt.

00:34:39.000 I couldn't imagine someone shooting from the roof.

00:34:40.000 Well, remember, all these guys were rock soldiers, right?

00:34:43.000 They're Republic of Korea.

00:34:44.000 Everybody in Korea does a tour in the military.

00:34:48.000 And they're tough dudes.

00:34:50.000 I mean, they're a real military.

00:34:52.000 They'll play games.

00:34:52.000 Have you seen these photos?

00:34:54.000 The dude's got a cigarette and he's holding the rifle on the rooftop.

00:34:57.000 Yeah, he had a Mi-14 and a cigarette.

00:34:59.000 He's just smiling.

00:35:01.000 And they all had military training and they did not play.

00:35:05.000 And people were like, okay, maybe we don't try and knock off this liquor store.

00:35:11.000 Frankly, I think every American... Look, if you are an adult, healthy American citizen who is inclined to do it, because I understand there are people who have moral issues about weapons and violence, I don't in that way.

00:35:24.000 I'm not a pacifist.

00:35:26.000 But if you do, I'll give you a pass, but I think everybody else needs to have firearms and sufficient training to be able to defend themselves, their family, their community, and their constitution.

00:35:37.000 I also think everybody ought to know basic medical stuff.

00:35:40.000 How do you stop the bleeding?

00:35:41.000 How do you do CPR?

00:35:42.000 How do you do a Heimlich maneuver?

00:35:44.000 I think, look, as citizens, we seem to think everything can be outsourced.

00:35:50.000 Bro, we have become jelly donuts.

00:35:56.000 Does the average person know how to do CPR?

00:35:59.000 Does the average person know how to tend to a bleed, tie a tourniquet?

00:36:05.000 Any kind of basic survival medical fighting in any capacity?

00:36:10.000 I watch these videos of people getting into fights and I'm like, what is he doing?

00:36:14.000 They're just like cartoon versions of fighting because people don't know the basics of defense of anything.

00:36:19.000 And this is not about being aggressive and going out and causing trouble.

00:36:22.000 This is being able to do your duty as a citizen To have order and safety in society.

00:36:29.000 If you go to a car wreck, I carry a ready bag in my car, right?

00:36:34.000 So I got stuff, I got tourniquet, I got the blood, the bleeding stop gauze stuff, some Israeli packet. 1.00

00:36:44.000 I mean, if I have to do something, look, I'm not an EMT, but you know, if you've got a sucking chest wound, I'll probably be able to keep you alive till the EMTs get you there.

00:36:54.000 Do you know why you should carry around a first aid kit?

00:36:58.000 Sometimes it rains.

00:37:00.000 We know it rains.

00:37:01.000 Yes.

00:37:01.000 Sometimes this rain causes car crashes.

00:37:03.000 Yes.

00:37:04.000 It actually rains quite a bit.

00:37:05.000 Yes.

00:37:05.000 It actually causes quite a bit of car crashes.

00:37:07.000 Yes.

00:37:07.000 You never know when it's gonna be you, your friend, or someone you stumble upon.

00:37:11.000 And, you know, I look at these disasters we've seen just with the weather in Texas.

00:37:15.000 Yep.

00:37:16.000 And I'm wondering how many of these people just had no idea because we are so soft.

00:37:20.000 Yes.

00:37:21.000 That everything's taken care of for us.

00:37:23.000 We have nothing to worry about anymore.

00:37:24.000 Have you seen the movie WALL-E?

00:37:26.000 The little robot cleaning up the earth, right?

00:37:28.000 And the big, fat humans are in those floating chairs doing nothing and they're confused.

00:37:32.000 The guy thinks the book is called Manuel.

00:37:34.000 It says manual.

00:37:35.000 He can barely even read. 0.95

00:37:37.000 It's idiocracy, man. 0.76

00:37:38.000 We are weakening ourselves to the point where we will regret it because...

00:37:41.000 We are in a golden age, or we're coming out of one, where everything was comfortable and we're wealthy and it's just energy everywhere, super cheap.

00:37:49.000 We have the summation of human knowledge in our pockets.

00:37:52.000 We argue with strangers and look at cats on a moment's notice.

00:37:55.000 And for this, we have distracted ourselves to the point where a fire could start in our homes, which is fairly common, and then people will freak out, spin in circles, confused as to what to do.

00:38:04.000 Or my favorite, one more thing.

00:38:06.000 In the Ferguson riots, I'm in the Ferguson riots, and I hear gunshots.

00:38:11.000 The first thing I do, hit the deck.

00:38:13.000 I look to my right, my camera guy, all rain on the ground, and I'm like, good man.

00:38:17.000 And then I saw that video from CNN, where the woman is live, and they're asking, what's going on?

00:38:21.000 You hear gunshots, and she goes, oh! 0.99

00:38:24.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! 0.93

00:38:27.000 And she's just wiggling her arms in the air like she has no idea what's... I'm like, lady, get behind a building! 0.98

00:38:31.000 What are you doing?

00:38:32.000 And then she runs into a gangway between two buildings.

00:38:35.000 And I'm like, it is remarkable they send these people out on the streets.

00:38:38.000 I've watched so many journalists hear gunshots go off and go...

00:38:42.000 Those gunshots?

00:38:43.000 And everyone's on the ground, and I'm like, bro, at least you can say, when in Rome, right?

00:38:48.000 If you watch people hit the ground after a bang goes off, and you're not doing that, maybe there's something you need to understand about what these people in the community understand.

00:38:57.000 They probably know a little better, and I like the way that you mentioned Rome.

00:39:00.000 Because, see any parallels?

00:39:03.000 And it's not a perfect parallel.

00:39:05.000 But the Romans were the height of civilization.

00:39:11.000 And when they were great in the Republic period, in the early Empire, it was regular citizens who went out and made up their army.

00:39:22.000 It was affluent citizens.

00:39:24.000 You actually had a property qualification to become a soldier.

00:39:28.000 You were invested in it.

00:39:29.000 And you would go out and you would leave your farm and you would be gone for 10 years campaigning against Hannibal or whoever.

00:39:39.000 yeah and there was greatness and then that stopped and they started saying well maybe maybe you know Flavius why should I go we'll just get uh you know Hans from uh uh across the Rhine he'll come we'll pay him a few uh few ducats and uh he'll uh he'll do our fighting for us and pretty soon there was you know Germanic uh Germanic empires yep And then when the conflict actually comes, instead of being like Spartans, you know, like King Leonidas, killing the messenger and kicking him into the pit, they became the flailing sea lion journalists going, oh, they're coming!

00:40:12.000 They have spears!

00:40:13.000 What do we do?

00:40:15.000 And almost quite literally when Attila came, they sent a Roman priest out with a bunch of gold to talk him out of it, which he managed to do, strangely enough.

00:40:25.000 So talking about the LA riots, think about the people there who just took.

00:40:29.000 Think about when everything broke down, who the people were who just went and took whatever they wanted.

00:40:35.000 Those people understood survival.

00:40:38.000 And when there was no rule of law, they said, I don't care.

00:40:40.000 It's me or you.

00:40:41.000 So they're going to go out and do whatever they want.

00:40:42.000 Yeah.

00:40:43.000 Well, it's interesting.

00:40:44.000 I think if you look at a city like Los Angeles, imagine the Chinese take down our water system and our logistics system. 1.00

00:40:54.000 Suddenly the water pumps stop.

00:40:58.000 The sewage system stops because they go in and they wreck the computer code.

00:41:04.000 And the logistics system stops so you're getting no food.

00:41:08.000 10, 12 million people with nothing to drink and nothing to eat.

00:41:12.000 And you know what they're going to do?

00:41:13.000 Oh my God.

00:41:14.000 They're going to eat each other.

00:41:15.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:41:16.000 No, I mean literally.

00:41:17.000 They will be drinking each other's blood in three, four days.

00:41:23.000 People don't get this, man.

00:41:24.000 New York, 2.5 million people on Manhattan Island.

00:41:28.000 If the water shuts down, and there was a power outage when Sandy hit and things were very, very disastrous.

00:41:36.000 It was scary.

00:41:37.000 It wasn't as bad.

00:41:38.000 It was only a couple weeks.

00:41:39.000 But I remember lines out the door of the bodegas and they had two big guys with like baseball bats standing in front of the buildings in front of these bodegas because there was no electricity.

00:41:48.000 It was all cash exchange.

00:41:50.000 Everything that was perishable perished.

00:41:52.000 And so you had lukewarm water and Gatorades and things like that.

00:41:55.000 You could buy the dry goods you could buy or the canned goods.

00:41:57.000 But imagine if it was sustained for longer than that.

00:42:00.000 um things would get very scary very quickly uh you know i still tend to keep my uh my cars fueled yeah i mean if they start it starts getting halfway to empty i'm like i just did just it yesterday it's just you know i i remember the wildfires in california which we've had numerous stories of this i commanded uh two battalions during the 2007 What happens if you live in these areas and your car is on, you know, an eighth of a tank and a fire breaks out?

00:42:28.000 Yeah, you die.

00:42:29.000 You die.

00:42:30.000 That's why you keep your car fueled.

00:42:31.000 That's why you keep your electric car charged if you have an electric car.

00:42:34.000 And I mean, this stuff isn't super hard.

00:42:38.000 It's just not internalized because we've never had to worry about these problems.

00:42:44.000 But the problems will come to you eventually.

00:42:48.000 And I think that's why the COVID thing is people's Woodstock.

00:42:52.000 I think they are excited about it.

00:42:55.000 I mean look, they don't want 500,000 people to die.

00:42:59.000 You know, it's kind of exciting.

00:43:00.000 There's a little risk, not much.

00:43:02.000 I mean, if you're healthy, you're 99.5% going to survive.

00:43:05.000 Life's boring.

00:43:06.000 Life's boring.

00:43:07.000 Now it's exciting.

00:43:08.000 I've got to wear a mask.

00:43:09.000 I remember going into Trader Joe's and, uh, my beautiful wife was with me and we're looking around at people taking stuff off the shelves.

00:43:17.000 They're not going crazy, but they're, they're loading up and the shelves were getting empty and it was a little scary.

00:43:28.000 I mean, I wasn't terrified, but it was like, okay.

00:43:31.000 Intense.

00:43:31.000 I'm intense.

00:43:33.000 But people were excited about it.

00:43:35.000 And they were actually behaving very well, and there were a lot of good humor.

00:43:39.000 You know, it's something different.

00:43:41.000 It's something new.

00:43:42.000 I feel more alive.

00:43:44.000 When I was in the riots, when I was in the war, even though I, look, I was so far in the rear, you'd have to FedEx bullets to hit me.

00:43:49.000 I literally ran a heavily armed car wash.

00:43:52.000 So I'm not trying to come along as Pete Buttigieg or Dick Blumenthal or any of the war heroes.

00:43:58.000 But when you're in a situation like that, when you're part of this kind of massive event that's historical, and there's this little element of danger in it, It's exciting.

00:44:09.000 Yep.

00:44:09.000 And you you remember it and it's, I'm not gonna call it fun, but god I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

00:44:17.000 That's what drives a lot of journalism.

00:44:19.000 You know, the reason I wanted to travel around covering these stories was to experience these major historical moments.

00:44:25.000 And I always tell people, look, I've been skateboarding my whole life.

00:44:28.000 I'm an adrenaline junkie.

00:44:29.000 I used to jump off buildings when I was like 16.

00:44:32.000 So you tell me I can go into a conflict zone and it's meaningful work that's important to a lot of people and you can share their story and tell the world it's happening.

00:44:39.000 Yes.

00:44:39.000 and you're running full speed, you're like, it's intense.

00:44:43.000 It makes you feel like what you're doing matters.

00:44:45.000 Yes.

00:44:46.000 It gives you a feeling of risk or danger.

00:44:48.000 So you get a reward, you know, mental reward after you've made it through these things.

00:44:52.000 And many of them, I didn't go into war.

00:44:54.000 I wasn't in anything like you were, you know, you say you were in the car wash.

00:44:57.000 Well, I was in civil unrest and civil conflict.

00:45:00.000 Granted a revolution here and there and some pretty dangerous neighborhoods.

00:45:03.000 I was in the favelas in Brazil.

00:45:05.000 I had some Turkish anarchists hold up a Molotov cocktail to my face, threaten me.

00:45:09.000 But not in anything where it was, like, enemy factions who would kidnap and murder me.

00:45:12.000 It was mostly, like, I'd get beat up and thrown out or whatever.

00:45:15.000 But it was... It's exhilarating.

00:45:17.000 Yeah!

00:45:18.000 And it's... And I think people need something like that.

00:45:24.000 I think they seek it.

00:45:25.000 I think they want it.

00:45:26.000 I think there are a lot of people who don't want this to end.

00:45:30.000 Because it also excuses a lot of things.

00:45:32.000 If you're one of those depressos...

00:45:35.000 I'm not staying at home because I can't force myself to go out and socialize.

00:45:39.000 I'm staying at home because I've got to save lives.

00:45:43.000 It's an excuse.

00:45:43.000 It's an excuse, and it empowers them.

00:45:46.000 And God, and you hear these people, and all they do is talk about the vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines.

00:45:50.000 Okay, I had COVID.

00:45:53.000 I caught it working for the president in Nevada.

00:45:57.000 And it was like a bad cold.

00:46:02.000 Not a bad cold, an okay cold.

00:46:05.000 In terms of the severity of it.

00:46:06.000 In terms of the severity.

00:46:07.000 Now, there are other people who died from it, and it could hurt people.

00:46:12.000 And of course, as soon as you get it, right?

00:46:14.000 As soon as you're like, yeah, I got COVID.

00:46:16.000 Oh, I had this friend whose friend was a 21-year-old triathlete, and he got it, and two days later, he spontaneously combusted.

00:46:23.000 So I'll clarify just for the YouTube people who are listening.

00:46:27.000 You're talking about how it felt.

00:46:28.000 Yes.

00:46:29.000 Not the death rate.

00:46:30.000 And I'll clarify because they just deleted one of Crowder's videos for this.

00:46:34.000 The death rate is substantially worse than a cold or the flu.

00:46:38.000 But they deleted Crowder's show.

00:46:40.000 My experience of it was, no, people die from this thing.

00:46:43.000 500,000 people, according to statistics, have died from it.

00:46:47.000 It is a real thing.

00:46:49.000 It is also, if you're in good health, you're probably gonna make it.

00:46:54.000 99.95% for people under 70.

00:46:55.000 Yeah.

00:46:55.000 And then when you factor in 70-year-olds, it's 97.5% survival.

00:46:59.000 Yeah.

00:46:59.000 So that is... So it's something.

00:47:02.000 It is something.

00:47:03.000 It's definitely worse than the flu.

00:47:05.000 Yes.

00:47:05.000 Primarily impacting seniors and people with comorbidities.

00:47:08.000 Yes.

00:47:09.000 But man, do they love to censor anybody the moment they step out of line on this one.

00:47:14.000 I'm just telling you what... I'm just telling you my personal experience with it.

00:47:18.000 Um, and, uh, but I, I think a lot of people, you were mentioning the vaccines, getting the vaccine.

00:47:25.000 Yeah.

00:47:26.000 Yeah.

00:47:26.000 I mean, uh, you know, people, people talking about the vaccine all the time.

00:47:30.000 Okay.

00:47:31.000 And I've been told, uh, you know, even though I had it, I should go get the vaccine.

00:47:35.000 So people, the problem is that Fauci has been telling people it doesn't matter.

00:47:41.000 And that, that, well, that's it.

00:47:44.000 That seems to me to be super wrong-headed if you actually want people to take the vaccine.

00:47:52.000 And it doesn't make any sense.

00:47:54.000 It's either effective or it isn't.

00:47:57.000 What I've seen says it's effective, so why is he downplaying that?

00:48:00.000 Even Trump thinks it's effective, but Fauci is telling people that, oh, we don't know, so you might as well stay home, lock your door.

00:48:07.000 He could do a better job.

00:48:09.000 Let's, let's, I want to talk about the political conflict because you mentioned that, you know, we're basically talking about people are not prepared for when things break down.

00:48:16.000 Yes.

00:48:17.000 If, if, if chaos erupted, you know, you, you were in the LA riots.

00:48:21.000 I mean, you were in war.

00:48:21.000 I've seen my fair share of riots.

00:48:23.000 I'll tell you this.

00:48:24.000 I was so far in the back.

00:48:25.000 I had to watch flashes on the horizon.

00:48:27.000 That's more than most people have ever seen in their lives.

00:48:30.000 The last thing I want to do is come across as Mr. Mr. Macho Comeback.

00:48:33.000 Again, I ran a decontamination platoon.

00:48:35.000 We did a very good job.

00:48:36.000 I was not a hero.

00:48:37.000 I didn't get shot at.

00:48:38.000 I didn't shoot anyone.

00:48:40.000 Well, there you go.

00:48:41.000 I want to get into the stuff that's going on with the Democrats.

00:48:45.000 So we have a couple stories I want to highlight, and we'll go through this quickly because I want to highlight the political turmoil.

00:48:50.000 Not necessarily the Democrats or the Republicans, just the instability.

00:48:54.000 So we have this story from CNN.

00:48:55.000 House Democrats weigh ejecting GOP winner of contested Iowa race, dismissing comparisons to Trump's effort to overturn the election.

00:49:03.000 Quite literally.

00:49:04.000 This is a Republican who won.

00:49:06.000 The state certified she won.

00:49:08.000 A bipartisan panel certified this Republican won, and the Democrats have voted to move forward with a review to see if they will eject a Republican sitting member of Congress who duly won her election and replace her with a Democrat.

00:49:21.000 We also have 73 Democrats sign efforts to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House after she's already been removed from her committees.

00:49:30.000 Now we have them going after Brett Kavanaugh with Vanity Fair writing, could Brett Kavanaugh be booted from the Supreme Court?

00:49:37.000 We talk a lot about politics.

00:49:38.000 I get it.

00:49:38.000 But how much of this is, oh, let's have an argument about who should be in the Supreme Court.

00:49:44.000 How much of this is, our system is completely gone.

00:49:47.000 It's broken.

00:49:48.000 The moment they said, I know he's already in the Supreme Court.

00:49:51.000 Let's reopen investigation anyway.

00:49:53.000 I know she's literally a duly elected representative. 1.00

00:49:56.000 Let's remove her now. 1.00

00:49:57.000 At what point do we just say, we have no elections.

00:49:59.000 If they're going to be doing this after the fact.

00:50:02.000 Once again, this relates to what we've been talking about for the last hour or so, which is the complete destruction of our institutional norms for short term convenience.

00:50:12.000 It's always short term convenience.

00:50:14.000 Oh, well, Donald Trump, he's he's literally Hitler.

00:50:17.000 So we've got to Get rid of this whole objectivity thing for the news media.

00:50:23.000 And then the military's now, you know, this slippery slope.

00:50:26.000 Now the military, well, you know, we've had a civil-military separation for 204 years.

00:50:33.000 We'll just spark the biggest crisis in civil-military relations since MacArthur, because Tucker said things we think are mean.

00:50:41.000 He did say mean things, though.

00:50:43.000 And we, as very soft, Delicate, cookie-dough Americans can't handle mean words.

00:50:49.000 You know?

00:50:49.000 Words are violence.

00:50:50.000 At least that's what they've been telling me now.

00:50:52.000 So, when I... I mean, look at us.

00:50:54.000 We're sitting here talking about, you know, you literally having dealt with the LA riots, and having deployed and served in the military, much more than I can speak for, but I've been in riots as well, and I'm looking at a bunch of people that think words are violence.

00:51:08.000 I personally got shot by a ricochet of a pepper ball which sprayed my face with plastic bits and went in my eyes and took me down a bit.

00:51:19.000 I've run through walls of tear gas in Turkey and Brazil and the United States, and I'm not going to pretend like I'm some super soldier.

00:51:26.000 I'm just some dude who's actually seen some stuff.

00:51:28.000 But, if I've seen that, and we've got, one, the political conflict, the institutional breakdown, our military is freaking out about Gadsden flags, every little institution, like you mentioned, they're breaking apart.

00:51:40.000 Confidence in the system is breaking.

00:51:42.000 Moral frameworks are, have, there's two different total moral frameworks.

00:51:46.000 It feels like, in my opinion, we are heading towards, well, what should we call it?

00:51:50.000 A prepper's dream?

00:51:51.000 Ugh.

00:51:53.000 I'll tell you this, I see these Twitter posts from preppers and they post how they're laughing.

00:51:59.000 I remember at the beginning of COVID, I drove across the U.S.

00:52:04.000 I went to a gas station and I was at the toilet paper craze and I asked the lady at the counter, and we were in Arizona, And she goes, oh, we're not worried about any of that.

00:52:14.000 We're preppers.

00:52:15.000 We got months worth of everything stocked up and always have.

00:52:18.000 So we laugh at everybody when this happens.

00:52:20.000 So I want to try and keep it wrapped up in, you know, just stemming into the political conversation.

00:52:27.000 Vanity Fair's actually asking if they could boot Brett Kavanaugh because... Who was it?

00:52:30.000 Was it a senator?

00:52:31.000 Was it Schiff?

00:52:32.000 White House.

00:52:32.000 White House said the FBI didn't actually do a legitimate review.

00:52:35.000 It was fake.

00:52:36.000 So they're trying to reignite... Yeah, they said that a lot of people were trying to send tips to the FBI about Kavanaugh, but apparently Chris Wray was classmates with Kavanaugh, and they're both members of the Federalist Society.

00:52:49.000 So, Ray didn't actually do the investigation.

00:52:52.000 They're trying to get pretext, it seems, to remove a Supreme Court justice, to remove two GOP reps.

00:52:57.000 They already took Marjorie Taylor Greene off of her committees. 1.00

00:53:01.000 I bring this up just to talk about the institutional decay.

00:53:04.000 To say, like, at what point does this stop and do we recover?

00:53:07.000 Or is this just the crumbling of the infrastructure that leads to the chaos?

00:53:11.000 There's going to be one or two directions.

00:53:14.000 Either it continues and there's chaos, or people say, whoa, stop.

00:53:19.000 Now, we saw that young lady cancelled today. 1.00

00:53:23.000 A very liberal lady cancelled. 0.99

00:53:26.000 A leftist woman of color was fired.

00:53:29.000 Or she was forced to resign.

00:53:30.000 And Jonathan Swan got on Twitter and said, this is terrible, this is wrong.

00:53:33.000 Of course, he got ratioed with people going, this is what you wanted.

00:53:38.000 This is what you've been cheering.

00:53:41.000 Either people stop it, or it continues.

00:53:44.000 What is rewarded, you get more of.

00:53:48.000 And so far this stuff has been rewarded.

00:53:50.000 Always.

00:53:51.000 If it goes on, I mean, it's ugly.

00:53:53.000 Look, I've got five novels of America falling apart that I sell a ton of.

00:53:58.000 People's Republic.

00:53:59.000 Go get your copy today.

00:54:01.000 People were actually commenting.

00:54:02.000 They said that one person commented they read your book and loved it, and it's eerily similar to what's happening.

00:54:07.000 It worries them.

00:54:09.000 It kind of freaks me out because when I wrote the first one, People's Republic, in 2016, it was a warning.

00:54:15.000 I love this country.

00:54:16.000 I love what we have here.

00:54:17.000 I've lived overseas for years.

00:54:19.000 I've seen places that don't work.

00:54:21.000 And it rips me up to see us squandering the legacy we've been granted.

00:54:26.000 We didn't earn it.

00:54:27.000 We didn't build it.

00:54:28.000 We were handed it.

00:54:29.000 We need to maintain it.

00:54:30.000 We're not doing that.

00:54:31.000 Sounds like Obama, remember? 0.54

00:54:32.000 He's like, you didn't build that.

00:54:34.000 In this case, it's correct.

00:54:35.000 We did not build these institutions.

00:54:37.000 We inherited it.

00:54:39.000 We could have made them better.

00:54:41.000 But, you know, we've already gone down that road.

00:54:44.000 So I wrote these books and I was thinking, you know, what's the wildest thing?

00:54:48.000 You know, people, what craziness?

00:54:51.000 People being arrested for being transphobic.

00:54:55.000 You know, thought police.

00:54:56.000 There was that guy who got arrested because he, I think it was in Canada.

00:54:58.000 That was Canada.

00:54:59.000 Yeah, he refused to refer to his daughter as his daughter.

00:55:03.000 Uh, yes.

00:55:04.000 Well, this is complicated, you know.

00:55:07.000 It's a court battle between the parents and the court as to whether or not the child has the right to be... The 13-year-old, if I believe I'm... Yeah, maybe 14.

00:55:16.000 So the issue is, if it was a clear-cut case where we had quotes from a, you know, trans boy, a transgender, you know, 14-year-old who said specifically they were, then I can talk about what that person was saying.

00:55:27.000 We have a legal battle.

00:55:28.000 When you have a judge saying, I don't care what your legal argument is about your children, you must say this.

00:55:33.000 You know what I mean?

00:55:33.000 Seems like they've already decided.

00:55:35.000 Right.

00:55:36.000 And we saw that other legal battle in Texas.

00:55:39.000 Well, that's, you know, again, institutional decay.

00:55:43.000 But back to your book.

00:55:44.000 I don't want to derail from your time up at the book. 1.00

00:55:46.000 Go buy the damn book! 1.00

00:55:50.000 All five of them! 1.00

00:55:51.000 You were mentioning that people were getting arrested for, like, crazy things.

00:55:54.000 Yeah, they were getting arrested.

00:55:55.000 And I write this stuff.

00:55:56.000 And it starts happening.

00:55:57.000 And I'm thinking successively more crazy stuff as I'm writing the subsequent books.

00:56:04.000 And it's happening.

00:56:04.000 And people write me going, this is all happening!

00:56:07.000 And it's like, I don't want this to happen!

00:56:09.000 This is not a how-to!

00:56:10.000 I'm not for any of this!

00:56:13.000 But they don't listen.

00:56:15.000 It's this institutional decay.

00:56:16.000 Look, what institution defends us regular people now?

00:56:21.000 Can you go to the courts and be sure that you're going to get a fair shake?

00:56:24.000 Can you go to the FBI?

00:56:26.000 Can you go to Congress?

00:56:27.000 Can you go to the media?

00:56:28.000 Can you go to academia?

00:56:30.000 Academia is going to tell you you're a...

00:56:32.000 You're a white supremacist, which was really puzzling to the guy who drives a truck for a living when he's being told by a guy who makes four times as much doing diversity articles that he's oppressing. 0.68

00:56:45.000 Sounds like you're saying we already lost. 0.70

00:56:47.000 I don't think we've ever— You made a really scary point, I'll tell you that.

00:56:51.000 Think about this for everybody listening.

00:56:53.000 Do you feel like if you went to court, if you called the police, if you called the FBI for any issue, do you think they would actually have your back?

00:57:01.000 Would they support you as an American citizen?

00:57:03.000 Would you get a fair shot?

00:57:05.000 Would you get a fair shot?

00:57:06.000 See, the beauty of a democratic republic, a free country, is maybe you lose the election, But you're like, well, OK, I lost.

00:57:18.000 But, you know, I lost.

00:57:21.000 I made my case.

00:57:22.000 Better luck next time.

00:57:23.000 Or I went to court.

00:57:25.000 I didn't like the way the jury came out, but I got a chance to make my piece and I think it was fair.

00:57:30.000 Right.

00:57:30.000 That's that's the basis.

00:57:32.000 And you don't have that.

00:57:32.000 YouTube has a rule that if you say something specific in relation to Donald Trump in the election, they'll delete your video and give you a strike.

00:57:41.000 Donald Trump's made statements that have been removed from YouTube and his own speeches have gotten people's news outlets like Right Side Broadcasting Network out of strike, I believe, simply for broadcasting Trump's speech.

00:57:54.000 Yet, if you relay what the Democrats have said about Rita Hart in Iowa, which is in many ways similar to what Donald Trump said, you are fine.

00:58:04.000 You are allowed to advocate for the Democrats have called for contesting a certified election.

00:58:10.000 That's okay on YouTube.

00:58:13.000 That's the Silicon Valley bias right there.

00:58:15.000 Well, it's hugely biased.

00:58:18.000 And I think it's another example of short term thinking.

00:58:23.000 Because right now, well, it's such an emergency.

00:58:26.000 We've got to do this exceptional thing.

00:58:28.000 Of course, the exception becomes the rule.

00:58:30.000 When it becomes the rule, it eventually becomes the rule for everybody.

00:58:35.000 And the worm eventually turns.

00:58:38.000 And someday they could be scratching their heads going, gosh, I don't seem to have a lot of friends left.

00:58:46.000 I don't think we've ever lost until our hearts stop beating.

00:58:51.000 I am always an optimist.

00:58:53.000 I understand that what we had in America, and what I think we're on the verge of losing if we don't watch it, is so much greater than what's been in any other culture, any other place, certainly any other place I've been.

00:59:08.000 There's something about it.

00:59:10.000 It's so powerful.

00:59:11.000 It's so right.

00:59:13.000 You know, and I'm not one of those guys who talk the right side of history.

00:59:18.000 Oh, God.

00:59:19.000 But what we what we're selling freedom, civil rights, individuality, free enterprise, the rule of law.

00:59:28.000 This is great stuff.

00:59:29.000 And people have sacrificed a huge amount for it.

00:59:31.000 And people from other countries like my wife come here to get that. 0.99

00:59:37.000 So I don't...

00:59:37.000 It's falling apart though.

00:59:38.000 It... it... it...

00:59:39.000 Look, it's running ragged, but we're not done yet.

00:59:42.000 And I... I... I will never give up as long as I'm alive.

00:59:44.000 I will never give up and just say, Oh, we're done!

00:59:47.000 No, I agree. I agree.

00:59:48.000 I will certainly use their rules against them.

00:59:51.000 Because some people need to learn through pain.

00:59:54.000 I guess the issue is...

00:59:56.000 When the right does anything that the left does, they're held to a very, very strict standard.

01:00:03.000 If conservatives go out and protest, they call it, you know, a far-right insurrection, revolt.

01:00:07.000 If the left does it, they'll call it a peaceful protest.

01:00:09.000 Of course.

01:00:09.000 And we got to understand that, you know, the media and the establishment are our opponents.

01:00:15.000 I think that's one reason you see fewer conservatives being canceled now.

01:00:20.000 is that it no longer works on us.

01:00:23.000 We have enough of our own outlets.

01:00:27.000 It's not perfect.

01:00:27.000 You can get canceled off YouTube.

01:00:29.000 You might have to go someplace else.

01:00:31.000 But we can still get our message out there.

01:00:33.000 And they can't cancel us.

01:00:35.000 So they're turning inward.

01:00:36.000 Yeah, let's get a little optimistic, I suppose.

01:00:38.000 We have this story from the New York Times.

01:00:40.000 Well, I'll say fairly optimistic.

01:00:43.000 Teen Vogue editor resigns after fury over racist tweets.

01:00:47.000 The hiring of Alexi McCammond, who was supposed to start at the Condé Nast publication next week, drew complaints because of racist and homophobic tweets she had posted a decade ago.

01:00:57.000 Alexia McCammond is a black woman. 1.00

01:00:59.000 I believe.

01:01:00.000 I don't know.

01:01:01.000 The news calls her a female, you know, person of color, whatever. 1.00

01:01:04.000 But I believe she's black. 0.97

01:01:06.000 And she got canceled for being racist against Asians, which is a fracturing in the woke theories, the critical race theory, because Asians are supposed to be the ultra privileged. 0.85

01:01:18.000 It's like they say in the SATs, for instance, Asians have to score higher than white people.

01:01:24.000 They have to score like a 1,300 or so compared to like a 1,000 or whatever for a white person.

01:01:29.000 Well now... You know, we used to joke on the show that I was double white for being part Asian, so I'm like double privileged.

01:01:35.000 Now I don't know what I'm supposed to think, because apparently they're saying that the hate crimes are against the Asian community, and this woman's getting fired for 10-year-old tweets.

01:01:42.000 So the reason I say optimistic...

01:01:44.000 They can't cancel every conservative, especially when some of these people are independent.

01:01:50.000 When you have people who have their own YouTube channels or work for conservative outlets who will never get fired, what do they do?

01:01:56.000 Well, they're like vampires, you know?

01:01:59.000 They have a bloodlust, and they're searching for someone to... Softest target.

01:02:04.000 But, you know, the conservatives are hardened, have their shields up, and are defending their communities, so they're turning on themselves in desperation.

01:02:12.000 Exactly.

01:02:12.000 You go for the soft target.

01:02:14.000 Look, I get on Twitter, I say things, I get the leftists attacking me.

01:02:18.000 So what?

01:02:19.000 I don't care.

01:02:20.000 I don't care.

01:02:21.000 The people who publish me don't care.

01:02:22.000 The people who buy my books don't care.

01:02:24.000 Probably sells more books, to be honest.

01:02:27.000 Maybe.

01:02:28.000 And by the way, the battling hierarchy of oppressions was one of the topics in the books.

01:02:35.000 The flag of the People's Republic.

01:02:37.000 America splits into two countries.

01:02:38.000 Flag of the People's Republic keeps changing.

01:02:40.000 They keep adding stripes.

01:02:42.000 And it's like a running joke through it.

01:02:45.000 Except it's like real.

01:02:49.000 You can't satirize these people.

01:02:51.000 You just report.

01:02:52.000 Have you seen?

01:02:53.000 So there was the rainbow flag.

01:02:56.000 Yes.

01:02:56.000 Then they added the black and brown stripe for black and brown solidarity.

01:02:59.000 And now they added the trans triangle to it.

01:03:01.000 So it's just the flag is becoming... Is a triangle outrank a stripe?

01:03:08.000 I don't know.

01:03:10.000 Who's the most depressed mirror on the wall?

01:03:13.000 Who's the most oppressed of us all?

01:03:15.000 You know?

01:03:15.000 It's so...

01:03:16.000 God, it...

01:03:17.000 The thing is... 1.00

01:03:18.000 Even I fall into making the mistake of calling it stupid. 1.00

01:03:22.000 It is stupid. 1.00

01:03:23.000 But that's beside the point. 1.00

01:03:24.000 It's insidious.

01:03:25.000 Yeah, I'm not going to be able to talk.

01:03:27.000 Look, you can't reason them out of it. 0.97

01:03:29.000 You can't sit there and go, you know, it's stupid to hold people's immutable characteristics as defining them. 1.00

01:03:35.000 It's stupid. 1.00

01:03:35.000 It's also immoral and wrong on every level. 1.00

01:03:39.000 Religious, secular, every level.

01:03:43.000 It's terrible.

01:03:44.000 Now believe what I do.

01:03:45.000 And they're like, no, I get power from it. 0.99

01:03:47.000 Screw you. 0.99

01:03:47.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:03:48.000 Or, you're not in the tribe, so I reject whatever it is you're saying without evidence.

01:03:52.000 It's agonizing, but I think more and more people are coming around on it.

01:03:59.000 30 years ago, we were talking about politically correct stuff.

01:04:05.000 Bill Maher, politically incorrect on ABC, got fired for being politically incorrect.

01:04:11.000 1986 or 7, I was an editor of the UC San Diego California Review, which was a conservative paper.

01:04:18.000 And we had a picture of one of us sitting there going, here, Fred Peete is drinking a glass of politically incorrect Coors beer because the Coors guy gave him a right-wing thing.

01:04:28.000 It was being used, you know, 35 years ago.

01:04:33.000 But it was kind of a niche thing for conservatives.

01:04:35.000 Conservatives whined about it.

01:04:37.000 I mean, it's right to whine about it, but it's still whining. 0.97

01:04:39.000 now it's infecting normal people's lives and they don't like it and you saw with president trump he he got more hispanic voters oh yeah because like hispanic male guys are like i i didn't sign up for this you know i yeah i wonder for this garbage I wonder if the infighting, people cancelling themselves. 0.94

01:04:59.000 I'll tell you this. 0.96

01:04:59.000 This woman resigned, right? 0.96

01:05:00.000 This Alexia McCammon resigned. 0.96

01:05:02.000 It's worse than that.

01:05:04.000 We reported this before, but a seven-figure advertising deal was pulled because the employees were complaining about their new boss.

01:05:11.000 So the company effectively cancelled itself.

01:05:15.000 You understand?

01:05:16.000 Like, this is amazing.

01:05:17.000 Millions of dollars!

01:05:18.000 I don't... You know, the thing that really got me was the New York Times with Tom Cotton.

01:05:23.000 Oh yeah.

01:05:24.000 Where you had a senator writing an article, which I disagreed with by the way.

01:05:29.000 I actually wrote my law review article on the use of military force in support of civilian civil support operations.

01:05:34.000 I'm largely against it.

01:05:35.000 I think the military is unsuited in most cases when it's not an emergency.

01:05:40.000 Here, neither here nor there, he writes an article that says we should use these guys, we should use military forces to suppress some of the BLM rioting, Antifa rioting.

01:05:48.000 OK, a position about half of Americans take.

01:05:51.000 He's a Republican.

01:05:52.000 They run this thing. 0.77

01:05:54.000 The woke kids at the New York Times go nuts.

01:05:59.000 And if I was the editor and they marched into my office and said, you can't run this, I'd say, OK, you're at the New York Times.

01:06:07.000 We run editorials from everybody.

01:06:10.000 If you don't like it, get out. 0.98

01:06:12.000 If you do like it, Get out, do your job, and the next one of you who brings up this crap to me is going to find himself walking the streets. 0.99

01:06:20.000 Get out! 0.99

01:06:21.000 I gotta stop you right there.

01:06:23.000 If it's me, and someone comes in and says, that op-ed you published, you need to get rid of it, I would say, okay, you're all fired.

01:06:30.000 Everyone in the office right now, you've just lost your job.

01:06:32.000 I'll call security to escort you out of the building.

01:06:34.000 See, you're nicer than me, because I would give them a learning opportunity. 1.00

01:06:38.000 I would try and teach them Not to be idiots. 1.00

01:06:41.000 But if they didn't do it, I would fire them. 1.00

01:06:44.000 Granted, I wouldn't hire them in the first place.

01:06:45.000 Well, that's also true.

01:06:47.000 But for the sake of the hypothetical, the thing is, they rolled over.

01:06:52.000 The guys in power rolled over.

01:06:54.000 Why?

01:06:55.000 They had the power!

01:06:56.000 What are these, boomers? 0.99

01:06:57.000 All you gotta do is say, no, these guys have a glass jaw.

01:07:00.000 Hey! 0.99

01:07:01.000 Hey! 0.99

01:07:02.000 Millennials! 1.00

01:07:03.000 Screw you, we're not doing any of that! 1.00

01:07:05.000 And if I hear about it again, you're canned! 0.99

01:07:08.000 You know what you could do?

01:07:09.000 The person who's like, you know, speaking, you say, you're fired.

01:07:13.000 Anyone else?

01:07:13.000 Anyone else want to be fired?

01:07:15.000 All right, back to work.

01:07:16.000 You guys believe that?

01:07:17.000 Look, you guys believe this is so important?

01:07:20.000 Let's see some principles.

01:07:21.000 I'm not going to pound the table.

01:07:22.000 Yeah, how many are you going to quit on this?

01:07:23.000 No, no, put it on the table.

01:07:25.000 And then they'd come back and be like, we need a union to fight against these things.

01:07:28.000 And that's because they can't negotiate for themselves and stand up for their own ideas.

01:07:33.000 Have you noticed how the new woke unions tend to not support basic workers, like old school union?

01:07:41.000 We want vacation and we want health care.

01:07:44.000 Dental plan, dental plan, you know, that old school Teamster kind of stuff.

01:07:49.000 Now it's all, oh, we, uh, we got this whole woke agenda we've got to enforce, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:57.000 Unions aren't about unions anymore. 0.97

01:07:59.000 It's ridiculous. 0.95

01:08:00.000 You see the United Auto Workers Union? 0.97

01:08:02.000 They're outraged.

01:08:03.000 Ford is going to be moving some of their new car projects to Mexico.

01:08:06.000 And it was really funny.

01:08:08.000 My favorite line from Ford was they were like, well, things have changed since, you know, circumstances changed since our last contract negotiation.

01:08:17.000 And do you know what that thing that changed was?

01:08:19.000 Yes.

01:08:19.000 Who was it?

01:08:21.000 It was the president.

01:08:21.000 Right.

01:08:22.000 Who was it?

01:08:22.000 I said it right away.

01:08:24.000 Now it's that withered old zombie who is in hot... Understand that the big corporations tend to be part of the liberal establishment, the democrat establishment. 0.83

01:08:35.000 You know, this whole... I saw they were, you know, Warren's... We gotta have a billionaire tax!

01:08:42.000 I'm like, let's do it.

01:08:44.000 Yeah.

01:08:44.000 Let's tax the billionaires.

01:08:45.000 You think, why again would I spend a dime?

01:08:49.000 Look, I'm a Republican.

01:08:50.000 I'm not just a conservative.

01:08:51.000 I am a Republican, because I believe there's got to be a party of the right.

01:08:54.000 It's the Republicans, for better and mostly worse.

01:08:56.000 Mostly worse.

01:08:57.000 But why should we as Republicans spend an iota of our political capital defending

01:09:05.000 the financial interests of people who hate us and use their money to screw us against our own financial 0.98

01:09:14.000 Let them burn! 0.98

01:09:15.000 Figuratively. 0.97

01:09:18.000 You want a 20% surtax on billionaires?

01:09:21.000 Rock and roll!

01:09:23.000 Yeah, Mackenzie Bezos funds a ton of critical race theory. 1.00

01:09:28.000 George Soros, man, conservatives don't shut up about that guy.

01:09:30.000 So when I hear that stuff, I'm like, who cares about billionaires?

01:09:33.000 So I tweet out, you know, like, tax the rich, and all these lefties are like, based Tim?

01:09:39.000 Like, Tim's a lib?

01:09:40.000 And I'm like, dude, I've always talked about progressive taxes.

01:09:43.000 Tax the billionaires.

01:09:43.000 I don't care.

01:09:44.000 There's like, how many of them in this country?

01:09:46.000 A handful?

01:09:47.000 Well, look, if I wanted to get back to my basic conservative principles from when I used to read National Review unironically, and God help me, Weekly Standard before it became a cheesy cruise brochure, uh look i i would say look i i i want a smaller government i want people paying less taxes because that stars government that's a principle but i have another conservative principle and it's a more important one it's i will i will accept no principle that makes me less free

01:10:20.000 And unfortunately, you get all these conservatives.

01:10:23.000 Well, you know, it's a private company.

01:10:26.000 Can't do nothing!

01:10:27.000 That sounds like the Democrats right now.

01:10:28.000 Well, it's like, yeah. 0.94

01:10:30.000 And it's like, well, yeah, but I kind of don't like them screwing with me.

01:10:36.000 And if you use your power against me, I'm going to use my power against them.

01:10:39.000 And if we're going to play the principals game, I say they go first.

01:10:43.000 This is the weirdest arguments, you know, I have with objectivists or libertarians.

01:10:49.000 We had a river so polluted it started on fire.

01:10:52.000 What was it?

01:10:52.000 It was the Cuyahoga River?

01:10:53.000 Yeah, Cuyahoga and Cleveland.

01:10:55.000 The 70s, I think it was.

01:10:56.000 And then we had a regulation to be like, okay, how about you can't dump that much pollution in the water?

01:11:01.000 We got to regulate how much you're doing.

01:11:03.000 Basically, all these different companies are saying, don't look at me.

01:11:05.000 I only dumped, you know, a tiny fraction.

01:11:07.000 It's like, yeah, well, when all of you dump at the same time, it makes a big mess and bursts into flames.

01:11:11.000 When our water is on fire, we got problems.

01:11:13.000 That would be an indicator.

01:11:15.000 So I've always, I grew up with this stuff.

01:11:17.000 I've always been in favor of regulating companies that get out of control.

01:11:20.000 And I also believe in some form of regulation against government when it's out of control.

01:11:26.000 The problem is the government has a monopoly on force.

01:11:28.000 So how do you deal with a broken government?

01:11:30.000 That's tough.

01:11:31.000 However, I'm not going to ignore when billionaires are exploiting the system and taking advantage of the working class.

01:11:37.000 My thing is, I don't care if you're a billionaire, bro.

01:11:40.000 Like, people talk about taxes, and I made a joke where I said, I said, tax the rich, right?

01:11:45.000 And then a bunch of people were like, look in a mirror, bro.

01:11:47.000 And then I quote-tweeted myself, me and Bernie will share a- or I said, no, I said arrest the rich, as a joke.

01:11:52.000 And then I was like, me and Bernie will share a cell.

01:11:54.000 I have, uh, I have a jo- I'm writing my sixth book, and I'll give you a preview.

01:11:58.000 I have a joke.

01:11:59.000 about there's a statue of Bernie Sanders the late Bernie Sanders because he he he passed away when he dropped his bong on some copies of Socialist Workers and it caught the house on fire but the fire department went to the wrong mansion It's a sad thought.

01:12:17.000 Look, no one does better under communism than the cadre, right?

01:12:24.000 And there are a lot of Mensheviks running around Democrat Washington. 0.99

01:12:29.000 A lot of these guys, it's like your own people are going to put you against the wall, figuratively.

01:12:35.000 These people tweet these things.

01:12:37.000 I know.

01:12:37.000 Look, When I hear about Bernie Sanders having multiple houses and millions of dollars, I'm like, I don't care what are his principles.

01:12:47.000 Is he in favor of working class people having rights or not? 0.72

01:12:49.000 Well, arguably you could say yes to some ideological split, but it's fine, okay?

01:12:54.000 I think Bernie sold out in a lot of ways.

01:12:56.000 But then I look at Soros, the Koch brothers, the Mercers, Jeff Bezos, Mackenzie Bezos, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg.

01:13:04.000 Why do these people get to shut down the voices of the working class with their massive wealth? 0.60

01:13:09.000 And not only that, but the establishment that they embody has been a disaster to the American

01:13:17.000 working class.

01:13:18.000 I wrote another book, a nonfiction called Militant Normals, about normal people getting

01:13:22.000 angry at what's happening.

01:13:24.000 And I told the story of a guy who was a Marine.

01:13:26.000 He comes home.

01:13:28.000 You know, fictional.

01:13:30.000 Embellish it.

01:13:31.000 But basically, you know, he sees his job sent to another country.

01:13:34.000 And a guy who looks like Mitt Romney drives up in a limousine and says, well, you know, you guys, you know, you can basically learn to code.

01:13:44.000 Build some solar panels.

01:13:45.000 Gotta go.

01:13:46.000 I gotta be at the club. 0.95

01:13:49.000 And why were Republicans allowing the heart and soul of our country to be screwed? 0.99

01:13:55.000 They were being screwed.

01:13:57.000 What is the principle that requires the impoverishment of the people who make up the American middle class, the ones who built this country, feed it, fuel it, defend it?

01:14:07.000 And I don't see it.

01:14:08.000 And I got to give Donald Trump credit for opening the eyes of a lot of people by saying what needed to be said.

01:14:14.000 He's up there.

01:14:15.000 There's one guy.

01:14:16.000 He's one guy.

01:14:16.000 There's 16 other guys who are all talking about basically the same stuff George Bush was talking about.

01:14:22.000 And Donald Trump's talking about the real problems that people are talking about.

01:14:25.000 Our jobs going away.

01:14:27.000 Our culture being hollowed out.

01:14:29.000 Wars that don't make any sense.

01:14:31.000 Again, I'm not a pacifist by any means.

01:14:35.000 But, you know, As I pointed out in my article today, you know, the military's pretty angry at Tucker Carlson, but Tucker Carlson has won as many wars as they have in the last 20 years.

01:14:47.000 He's also lost fewer.

01:14:49.000 That's right.

01:14:51.000 And who pays that price?

01:14:53.000 It's not the sons and daughters who go to Harvard, Westlake, and West LA.

01:14:57.000 It's the paratrooper from Omaha.

01:15:01.000 Hey, well, look, you know, we're really good at building infrastructure in Middle Eastern countries and really bad at building it here. 1.00

01:15:06.000 driving around the car. What the hell? You know, the the Afghanistan papers that the Washington Post

01:15:15.000 published should have been a scandal on par with the Pentagon papers about the disaster in Vietnam.

01:15:21.000 And it just kind of went poof. What were they? It basically talked about all our mistakes in

01:15:29.000 Afghanistan after 20 years.

01:15:31.000 A war we have not won after 20 years.

01:15:33.000 The waste of money, the waste of lives, the flawed strategy.

01:15:37.000 It's been a disaster.

01:15:40.000 And look, I was not, I wasn't against Iraq going in.

01:15:45.000 And Iraq went really well for about two months.

01:15:48.000 No follow through.

01:15:49.000 Strategy is not just about winning one battle.

01:15:54.000 Strategy is about achieving objectives.

01:15:57.000 Big objectives.

01:16:00.000 And there was no strategy.

01:16:02.000 I mean, I literally got, they literally sent me to the Army War College to get me a degree in strategy.

01:16:07.000 I must have made a mistake because I listened.

01:16:10.000 I mean, I took it seriously.

01:16:12.000 And I'm looking at this, I'm going, okay, these things violate everything I was taught about strategy.

01:16:19.000 And I just, you know, avoiding the hard questions.

01:16:24.000 When you have full colonels, you know, colonels, tomorrow you're going to brief us on America's greatest threat.

01:16:33.000 You know, what is our greatest strategic threat?

01:16:35.000 And then the next day you will brief us on your strategy to address it.

01:16:39.000 Basic, basic kind of War College-y thing.

01:16:42.000 And this is a story somebody from a different War College gave, but it tracks with my own.

01:16:48.000 The first day, 50% of the teams of colonels briefed climate change.

01:16:53.000 The weather in 100 years was America's greatest strategic threat, according to guys who typically command 5,000 Americans.

01:17:00.000 Wow.

01:17:01.000 I mean, you're just like... What the hell?

01:17:06.000 You know, look, let's assume it's even true.

01:17:09.000 Let's assume climate change isn't a giant hoax and a scam.

01:17:13.000 Because it's one of those problems that seems every solution happens to be exactly every policy prescription its advocates always wanted anyway.

01:17:21.000 But that's an environmental factor.

01:17:24.000 That is a factor in the situation.

01:17:26.000 The correlation of forces.

01:17:27.000 It's not a threat itself.

01:17:28.000 It's a factor of the private industries.

01:17:33.000 If we've got all of these different companies polluting and individuals driving cars, the military is not going to solve that.

01:17:39.000 It's going to be legislative or it's going to be cultural.

01:17:43.000 What do you think the military ought to do?

01:17:46.000 Not have M1 tanks because they bust out gas?

01:17:48.000 But I know they have to have to storm the beaches of you know

01:17:51.000 Greenland San Pedro and and you know, New York to you know Shut down the importing of all these petrochemical based 1.00

01:18:00.000 products and then they got a raid on all of these car manufacturing plants?

01:18:03.000 No, the military has nothing to do with this.

01:18:05.000 No, it has nothing to do and it should be, its purpose should be to deter or defeat America's enemies

01:18:11.000 in conventional and unconventional combat.

01:18:14.000 That's what it should be doing.

01:18:16.000 And it's essentially, it's become an unserious organization.

01:18:23.000 When you're focusing on all this other woke stuff, that's not a serious military.

01:18:29.000 And I get emails and communications from people who are in or recently out,

01:18:34.000 and it's bad and they're not focusing on war fighting.

01:18:37.000 And I am terrified that one day I'm going to wake up and the Chinese government is going to say,

01:18:42.000 Chinese are going to have initiated their op plan on Taiwan, and our bases in Guam and Japan are going to be smoking ruins, and there's going to be a carrier at the bottom of the South China Sea. 0.96

01:18:55.000 I mean, I worry about that stuff.

01:18:55.000 And you know what Biden's going to say?

01:18:57.000 Trump's fault.

01:18:58.000 Come on, man!

01:18:59.000 Where's my slipper?

01:19:00.000 Come on, man!

01:19:01.000 That's it.

01:19:02.000 Matlock Marathon's on!

01:19:05.000 OK, I'll just be I'll be sleeping.

01:19:07.000 I guess. Yeah.

01:19:08.000 Who's in charge there anyway?

01:19:10.000 I'm still Kamala.

01:19:12.000 Now, I think she's being I think she's being iced out.

01:19:14.000 Really? Yeah.

01:19:15.000 But she's like doing the phone call to world leaders, doing phone calls on behalf of Biden.

01:19:20.000 I bet you she put that out.

01:19:22.000 Yeah. You think Dr.

01:19:23.000 Jill's going to let her.

01:19:24.000 Not talk to get get Dr.

01:19:28.000 Jill out of the White House.

01:19:29.000 Now, I think the 25th Amendment, I think there is a group that wants Biden.

01:19:36.000 I think Kamala wants Kamala. 0.78

01:19:38.000 And I think if Kamala could convince enough people to do the 25th Amendment, I think she would. 0.92

01:19:42.000 Kurt, it's Kamala.

01:19:44.000 Is it? It's racist when you say it that way.

01:19:46.000 I am. That was that was an actual news cycle.

01:19:49.000 Yes, I saw that.

01:19:50.000 I am indifferent to what she likes about her name.

01:19:52.000 Is it Kurt or Cart?

01:19:56.000 Yeah, anyway.

01:19:58.000 But all I can say is, if I was Joe Biden and Kamala came up with a plate of cookies, let the dog test them.

01:20:07.000 Give them to the dog first. 0.77

01:20:09.000 Oh wait, the dogs are gone.

01:20:11.000 Uh oh.

01:20:12.000 Uh oh! 0.99

01:20:14.000 Yeah, I think, you know, looping it back to what we were talking about initially with Putin, it seems like there's a desperate attempt to not focus on China.

01:20:22.000 To make everything about Russia so that they don't have to worry about... Maybe it's that they know they've already lost.

01:20:30.000 With China. 0.97

01:20:31.000 It's hard.

01:20:31.000 And it's painful.

01:20:32.000 What did Mike Pompeo say?

01:20:34.000 What, like a year ago?

01:20:35.000 We've been infiltrated at every level by the Chinese Communist Party.

01:20:38.000 No, that is true.

01:20:39.000 I mean, look at Disney. 0.98

01:20:40.000 Hollywood's sucking up to them. 1.00

01:20:43.000 Our industry sucks up to them. 0.97

01:20:44.000 Where do you get your rare earth metals?

01:20:48.000 You know, you could theoretically get them from basically anywhere, but for some reason we just don't.

01:20:52.000 No, we don't.

01:20:53.000 We now also don't get our oil.

01:20:56.000 Or our vitamin C or our antibiotics.

01:21:00.000 Even our masks are made in China. 0.99

01:21:03.000 You know, we... I hate using the word globalist because it, you know...

01:21:07.000 What is it?

01:21:07.000 Crime web?

01:21:08.000 brings up pictures of guys in basements somewhere, you know, with lots of post-its and tacks of...

01:21:16.000 What is it, crime web? Conspiracy web?

01:21:18.000 Yeah. I mean, it's just...

01:21:20.000 But people who...

01:21:22.000 We made a mistake, and I bought into it, too. 0.99

01:21:26.000 I thought that the Chinese might come around through free enterprise and slowly become more like us, not just in economics, but in individual free.

01:21:36.000 It didn't work out that way.

01:21:38.000 Guess I didn't understand.

01:21:39.000 I guess a lot of us didn't understand the Chinese.

01:21:41.000 But here's the difference.

01:21:43.000 I've seen it ain't working and I've decided it's time to change course.

01:21:46.000 There are a few of us.

01:21:48.000 The people who still want to go on with the fantasy that if we're only nice enough to China, it'll be nice to us, are not serious people.

01:21:59.000 I think some of them are compromised.

01:22:00.000 I think there are a lot of people with business interests in China.

01:22:03.000 And I'm not thinking, oh, well, give me $5,000.

01:22:06.000 I'll sell you whatever they want.

01:22:08.000 I'm thinking, they gave me $5,000.

01:22:09.000 These guys aren't that bad.

01:22:11.000 I mean, they could just give me some money.

01:22:14.000 I think it is a lot easier to address a problem that's not as problematic.

01:22:23.000 Right.

01:22:23.000 Like Russia.

01:22:24.000 It's like, you know, there's talk about how cops will prefer to go after petty crime instead of serious crime because it's easier to deal with and it occupies their time.

01:22:33.000 So pulling over someone for blowing a stop sign versus running, rushing full speed to what looks like someone getting mugged.

01:22:38.000 It's like, you know, so there are complaints about things like that, that when government approaches a problem, they take the path of least resistance to make it seem like they're working.

01:22:47.000 Well, yeah.

01:22:48.000 I mean, that's just human nature.

01:22:50.000 That's to be expected.

01:22:51.000 That's why you need exceptional people.

01:22:53.000 You know, we need a Harry Truman, not a Joe Biden.

01:22:58.000 Yeah, Joe Biden's like our Buchanan, huh?

01:23:00.000 Is Buchanan?

01:23:01.000 Wait, no, not Buchanan.

01:23:02.000 Wait, was it Buchanan?

01:23:04.000 Yeah, that was the guy leading up to the Civil War.

01:23:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Buchanan.

01:23:06.000 Like, one of the weakest presidents we've ever had.

01:23:08.000 Oh, terrible.

01:23:09.000 Yeah.

01:23:10.000 And then, you know, we're gonna have this weak president for several years, and then come 2024, people are gonna be begging for someone like Trump again.

01:23:17.000 Maybe it'll be Trump.

01:23:18.000 You think Trump will run again?

01:23:19.000 Maybe, I mean... What's it gonna be, 78?

01:23:22.000 Maybe it'll be DeSantis.

01:23:23.000 I think he's getting a little old.

01:23:24.000 Yeah.

01:23:25.000 And I think he'll prefer to be Kingmaker.

01:23:27.000 Just my gut.

01:23:28.000 I don't know anything.

01:23:29.000 Then, I think DeSantis.

01:23:31.000 I saw DeSantis at CPAC.

01:23:34.000 He was better retail than I thought he'd be.

01:23:36.000 He's ex-military, which is not necessarily a qualification, but it might lead him to be a little less, you know, submissive to generals.

01:23:46.000 He has done a great job in Florida.

01:23:48.000 He has survived the media onslaught and shown how you do it.

01:23:52.000 You never give in.

01:23:53.000 You're killing people!

01:23:54.000 No, I'm not. 0.99

01:23:54.000 I'm also not grabbing liberal girls' breasts. 0.99

01:23:56.000 He, he, he, he, he's done okay. Yeah. Um, I. 0.94

01:24:05.000 Yeah.

01:24:06.000 I'm an unabashed fan of Rick Grinnell, who I know personally.

01:24:09.000 He lives in my town.

01:24:11.000 And I think he is an exceptional leader.

01:24:14.000 I would love to see a DeSantis Grinnell ticket.

01:24:16.000 Wow.

01:24:17.000 And it's kind of weird because this shows kind of the realignment.

01:24:21.000 I mean, who would have thought a very cosmopolitan gay guy would have the support of like a military guy?

01:24:26.000 I'm not the only one.

01:24:27.000 Military guys are fanatics for Rick.

01:24:30.000 Freedom wins.

01:24:31.000 Liberty wins, right?

01:24:33.000 I hope so.

01:24:34.000 Well, so, no, no, listen.

01:24:35.000 There was a tweet from Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks.

01:24:37.000 He said something like, the progressives always win in the end or something like that.

01:24:40.000 Someone corrected him saying, no, it's liberty that wins.

01:24:44.000 Yes.

01:24:44.000 So what he was trying to say is, you go back in time and you can see that these left-wing causes, progressive causes, have won out, civil rights, etc.

01:24:51.000 Only the problem is now that the left is rejecting civil rights.

01:24:56.000 They're opposing individualism and freedom.

01:24:58.000 I also reject the whole John Lithgow and Footloose vision of conservatives through history.

01:25:06.000 We were not the ones who always said, No, you kids can't rock!

01:25:11.000 Kevin Bacon, stop your strutting! 1.00

01:25:16.000 I don't know how my side was somehow labeled as the side that didn't like free speech, that didn't like the ability to write what you want, say what you want, think what you want.

01:25:26.000 It's great branding for the other side, because it's all baloney. 0.81

01:25:31.000 That's not what we're about.

01:25:33.000 It's never been what we're about.

01:25:37.000 I think, uh, I think certainly now that if you want to find the defenders of traditional, uh, liberal values, you're going to have to, or what have been labeled liberal values, you've got to go to the conservatives because the today's liberals don't believe in those things.

01:25:56.000 Donald Trump is a, what, they call him a 90s Democrat?

01:25:59.000 Donald Trump's interesting because he is the guy on the right.

01:26:01.000 likened to Bill Clinton in a lot of ways.

01:26:03.000 Not the worst ways, actually, no, the worst ways by the Democrats themselves.

01:26:06.000 Yeah.

01:26:07.000 Yeah.

01:26:08.000 Communally giving Bill a pass.

01:26:09.000 Donald Trump's interesting because he is the guy on the right, and I think he is on the right,

01:26:16.000 even though he had some views that are traditionally liberal.

01:26:22.000 But he's the guy who actually talked about what the base was talking about,

01:26:26.000 as opposed to what the Bushes were talking about.

01:26:28.000 Jeb Bush would sit and talk to you about, you know, tax rates all day.

01:26:33.000 And Trump would go, yeah, I want to put up a border wall so that some guy without insurance, I'm a legal alien with insurance, doesn't wreck your car and leave you on the lurch.

01:26:43.000 And people are like, yeah, my buddy's car got crashed into by an illegal alien. 0.95

01:26:47.000 He didn't have insurance and he got screwed over.

01:26:50.000 Yeah.

01:26:52.000 Trump talked about things that no one else would talk about, also because Trump is the ultimate immune to cancellation.

01:27:00.000 He just doesn't care.

01:27:02.000 And I think the next president has to take, not necessarily his position, and not necessarily all the things about Trump, everything about Trump, but he has to take on the not caring.

01:27:12.000 I think DeSantis is doing that.

01:27:14.000 I'm always amused by people who say, you know, I like Donald Trump, but all that tweeting.

01:27:22.000 It's like going to a fixed-price menu and asking for a substitution.

01:27:27.000 No, I don't want the twice-baked potato.

01:27:29.000 I'd rather have broccolini.

01:27:31.000 Okay, you get the potato.

01:27:33.000 Okay, you can't have Donald Trump and all the things you like about Donald Trump without the mean tweets.

01:27:38.000 It is of a whole.

01:27:39.000 It is of a part.

01:27:41.000 But it is the people who voted against him based on his mean tweets that hurt him in the end.

01:27:46.000 I think they will vote against him anyway.

01:27:49.000 Yeah, probably because the media just told him to.

01:27:51.000 But listen, if Trump was strategically silent for even a short period of time, he would have starved the media out.

01:27:58.000 Look what's happening now.

01:27:59.000 He certainly would have, but then he wouldn't be Donald Trump.

01:28:02.000 That's true.

01:28:06.000 You know, if only Donald Trump had all the good things about Donald Trump with none of the bad things, it would be great!

01:28:12.000 If he had all the good things about Kurt and none of the bad things, I'd be wonderful!

01:28:16.000 Right, honey?

01:28:17.000 She's nodding.

01:28:18.000 There's a lot to look at when it comes to Ron DeSantis compared to Trump and the things that Trump was doing.

01:28:24.000 So what I like about Trump, the Abraham Accords were amazing.

01:28:26.000 Oh my gosh.

01:28:26.000 Peace agreements.

01:28:30.000 Decades long war.

01:28:31.000 70 decades.

01:28:32.000 I mean, my entire life, I remember the 73 war.

01:28:36.000 I remember Sadat getting shot.

01:28:38.000 I mean, because I'm old.

01:28:42.000 This was going on and on and on.

01:28:45.000 And my gosh, now all these countries are at peace.

01:28:48.000 And of course, Biden's like, no, no, no, no, who cares? 1.00

01:28:51.000 Suck up to the molos! 1.00

01:28:53.000 Yes. 1.00

01:28:53.000 Huge. 1.00

01:28:53.000 that we get the banning of critical race theory. Yes. These are things I like. We get school 1.00

01:28:57.000 choice. What he was pushing for. He didn't get he didn't get to push that hard enough.

01:29:02.000 Now I'm wondering how many of these things will Ron DeSantis push as well. Because what

01:29:07.000 he's doing in Florida with censorship is brilliant. Yes.

01:29:09.000 What he's done with COVID has worked swimmingly. Ban CRT. Right. Exactly.

01:29:14.000 Banning critical race theory.

01:29:16.000 I'll clarify the pandemic thing.

01:29:17.000 Look, people lost their lives in the pandemic, but I believe the death rate in Florida is 8% below the national average.

01:29:24.000 You want to talk about what are our objective standards for doing a good job in the pandemic?

01:29:27.000 How about 8% below national average?

01:29:30.000 Are there still problems?

01:29:31.000 Sure, but he's doing a good job.

01:29:34.000 One of the advantages Santus will have, especially if he listens, is he'll have the Rolodex that Trump never did.

01:29:37.000 Trump got into office and didn't know anybody.

01:29:39.000 pushing as well, a populist right wing platform.

01:29:41.000 One of the advantages Santus will have, especially if he listens,

01:29:47.000 is he'll have the Rolodex that Trump never did.

01:29:49.000 Trump got into office and didn't know anybody.

01:29:51.000 If you had had Jeb Bush, the human puffball, roll into office,

01:29:56.000 Thank you.

01:29:57.000 Trump didn't have that.

01:29:58.000 I want you to assume exclamation point every time I say Jeb.

01:30:00.000 Yes.

01:30:01.000 So we don't have to go through that drill.

01:30:04.000 Jeb could have called on 5,000 people to fill the federal government because the Bushes 1.00

01:30:09.000 knew these 5,000 people.

01:30:10.000 Most of them worked for his brother's administration.

01:30:14.000 Trump didn't have that.

01:30:15.000 Trump's biggest problem was always personnel, including hiring generals, because he was always impressed by

01:30:20.000 generals.

01:30:22.000 He shouldn't have been.

01:30:23.000 Every single general except for Flynn seemed to stick him.

01:30:27.000 If DeSantis goes in, he's got a whole bunch of veterans of the Trump administration.

01:30:32.000 and he knows what the play is which is leave people in place to disrupt in the bureaucracy and he's just he he's a mean dude he'll happily go no fire fire fire he needs to say you know at 1201 on january i guess 20th of uh 2025 uh i want the resignation of every united states attorney i want the resignation of every I want the resignation of everyone on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

01:31:05.000 I want the resignation of everybody whose job I get to pick.

01:31:10.000 You are all gone.

01:31:12.000 Director of the FBI, Mr. Wray, thank you for your service.

01:31:15.000 You are out.

01:31:16.000 Here is my list, and here are the people going over to those agencies, and he's got to invest time.

01:31:24.000 For instance, the Pentagon.

01:31:27.000 He needs to devote, you know, if he wants to fix Pagon, his time and attention is the weapon system.

01:31:35.000 I think people do what commanders check.

01:31:37.000 If he spends 30 minutes a day on that, you know, his people bring in the problems, and I would do leadership by anecdote, right?

01:31:46.000 There's all this stuff out there on the internet.

01:31:49.000 And we know that things like this woman being cancelled for anti-Asian, that resonates. 0.88

01:31:57.000 That's an anecdote.

01:31:58.000 It resonates.

01:31:59.000 It has a bigger meaning.

01:32:00.000 Find the military stuff that has a bigger meaning.

01:32:03.000 There's a chaplain at Elmendorf Air Force Base and he's told he can't say the word Jesus.

01:32:08.000 Great!

01:32:09.000 I, Secretary of Defense, I want you, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, I want the Joint Chief of the Air Force, I want every single guy down to the company commander or flight commander in this guy's chain of command with their deputies in my office.

01:32:24.000 Nine o'clock tomorrow, you will brief me on how you're protecting this man's First Amendment rights.

01:32:29.000 If you're unsatisfactory, I will leave you.

01:32:32.000 Your deputy will brief me the next day at 9 a.m.

01:32:37.000 You do that one time, maybe two, they get the message.

01:32:42.000 I don't see how a Democrat will win 2024.

01:32:44.000 I don't see Joe Biden as having nearly the strength to run a second term physically.

01:32:51.000 But Kamala's just so ridiculously unpopular. 1.00

01:32:53.000 Tulsi Gabbard got more delegates than she did.

01:32:56.000 Tulsi got one.

01:32:57.000 Kamala got none.

01:32:58.000 Will Tulsi become a Republican?

01:33:00.000 I think she probably will.

01:33:02.000 I think she'd fit.

01:33:03.000 Yeah, it's weird, right?

01:33:04.000 I don't like everything she's about.

01:33:06.000 Me neither.

01:33:07.000 But, you know what?

01:33:09.000 I don't even like everything I'm about.

01:33:10.000 You know Jeff Van Drew?

01:33:13.000 He was the Democrat from South Jersey.

01:33:15.000 Yeah, New Jersey guy.

01:33:16.000 He's a Democrat.

01:33:17.000 I mean, you look at his policy positions.

01:33:19.000 Yeah, didn't he vote for a union thing the other day?

01:33:21.000 Probably.

01:33:22.000 The pro-act or something.

01:33:22.000 But he's like, eh, the Republicans are more reasonable.

01:33:26.000 That's, that's ridiculous. 0.96

01:33:27.000 How bad the Democrats have become, to be honest, you know? 0.98

01:33:29.000 Well, look, we... America's got two parties.

01:33:32.000 It's always going to have two parties because of the way the electoral college exists.

01:33:36.000 And you've got to be able to have 50% plus one.

01:33:40.000 And I think the Democrats, by narrowing and creating this purity test, are really screwing themselves.

01:33:48.000 Because they're going to drive a lot of people away.

01:33:51.000 And they're not gonna have Trump to kick around.

01:33:53.000 I mean, poor, God, pity Brian Stelter.

01:33:55.000 There's a lot of things to pity that human tuber about.

01:33:59.000 But pity Tater because he's got nothing left to talk about, okay?

01:34:05.000 I like Tucker Carlson a lot.

01:34:07.000 He's no substitute for Donald Trump 24-7 as the ratings show.

01:34:13.000 And they're gonna try and run against Donald Trump.

01:34:15.000 They're already trying in the recall.

01:34:18.000 This is a white supremacist Trump thing.

01:34:20.000 That's why we're recalling Newsome.

01:34:25.000 Two million signatures.

01:34:26.000 Gotta be far right, huh?

01:34:27.000 Yeah, all those right-wingers out in California.

01:34:31.000 I'm starting to feel like, based on what we're seeing, it could be DeSantis.

01:34:34.000 But hey man, look, we're years out, so who knows?

01:34:37.000 We could see somebody come in that we never expected.

01:34:40.000 There are some people I'm still trying to figure out why they would run.

01:34:45.000 I like Pompeo, but who's the guy who's got Pompeo mania?

01:34:50.000 Ted Cruz?

01:34:52.000 I think he's brilliant.

01:34:57.000 When I look, Ted Cruz has done some good things, but is he presidential?

01:35:01.000 I gave him money last cycle, but he lost last cycle.

01:35:06.000 He was doing fairly well, but I just don't see him.

01:35:09.000 It's just that X Factor, you know what I mean?

01:35:10.000 Can he walk up to a guy in Michigan who works on an assembly line and have a conversation that's not totally awkward?

01:35:18.000 Now Trump can't because Trump actually grew up With guys with hard hats, you know?

01:35:24.000 Guys doing cement work, steel work, the iron mongers. 1.00

01:35:30.000 And you see the videos of him going up and talking to the cops.

01:35:33.000 And it's a president and a cop going, how are you doing?

01:35:37.000 But it's not awkward.

01:35:39.000 And it's like, oh my gosh, does this guy think I can't do a push-up kind of vibe?

01:35:46.000 Trump's comfortable with who he is.

01:35:48.000 And I think that was one of his secrets.

01:35:50.000 You know, why they could say, how could you like a rich guy like that?

01:35:54.000 Because if I was rich, I'd do the same thing!

01:35:56.000 Right down to the imported model wife! 1.00

01:35:59.000 And the golden toilet?

01:36:00.000 And the golden toilet! 0.57

01:36:01.000 Who wouldn't want to go on a golden toilet? 1.00

01:36:06.000 I'd have a golden bidet!

01:36:07.000 I'd have a urinal of gold!

01:36:09.000 He probably does.

01:36:11.000 Heck yeah.

01:36:12.000 Platinum bidet.

01:36:13.000 Let's take it to the next level.

01:36:15.000 Platinum.

01:36:16.000 Platinum bidet.

01:36:16.000 Real expensive.

01:36:17.000 That could actually be my next acapella punk band.

01:36:20.000 Platinum bidet.

01:36:21.000 There you go.

01:36:22.000 Make an album.

01:36:23.000 So, well, let's jump over to Super Chats and we'll see what the audience has to say.

01:36:28.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button.

01:36:30.000 Your smashing of the like button is very important to us.

01:36:33.000 It's the only thing we actually care about.

01:36:35.000 We just sit here all day staring.

01:36:36.000 I'm half kidding.

01:36:37.000 But if you haven't already, go to TimCast.com and you can pick up Your very own Diamond Hands Gorilla T-shirt, which is a reference to Wall Street Bets, if you're familiar with the GameStop Stonks thing.

01:36:47.000 We created this funny gorilla, he's holding money, and it's about the meme of, you know, apes together strong.

01:36:51.000 Go to TimCast.com, click shop.

01:36:53.000 And again, smash that like button, subscribe, notification bell, share the podcast.

01:36:56.000 Let's read some of your superchats.

01:36:58.000 We got a superchat here, and fortunately, YouTube cuts off the name of our first superchat, so I can't read it.

01:37:03.000 He says, D.O.D.

01:37:04.000 C.T.R.

01:37:05.000 here.

01:37:06.000 Had extremism training today and spoke up re-politicization of military and concerns of white extremism push.

01:37:14.000 Eight to nine examples of what wrong looks like were right-wing white, including Proud Boys.

01:37:20.000 Stand on principle and always speak up.

01:37:24.000 Yeah.

01:37:26.000 All right, let's see.

01:37:28.000 Joe Kush says, Hey Tim, what do you think about the recent peaceful violence in the Pacific Northwest?

01:37:33.000 Violence?

01:37:33.000 Were they saying things that were mean?

01:37:35.000 No, no, no, they weren't engaging in violence.

01:37:36.000 That was, that was, uh, rehabilitative, restorative resistance.

01:37:41.000 Wasn't it night?

01:37:43.000 Yeah.

01:37:43.000 So it's not, it's not terrorism or insurrection if it's at night.

01:37:47.000 Right.

01:37:48.000 As I understand it.

01:37:49.000 And they didn't say any mean words.

01:37:51.000 And mean words are violence.

01:37:52.000 Therefore, they were taking physical action for restorative justice.

01:37:55.000 I see.

01:37:56.000 So it was a peaceful restorative justice night march.

01:38:00.000 Gotta be specific.

01:38:00.000 You know what I mean?

01:38:01.000 You know, after a while, people were just getting used to the lies.

01:38:07.000 Just being lied to.

01:38:09.000 And it just kind of, it's not good.

01:38:12.000 So the Black Blade says, I lose sleep over this question.

01:38:15.000 When the rubber meets the road on the U.S.

01:38:17.000 debt, say in 50 to 20 years, when my kids are trying to build a life, will they even earn $1 working in the U.S.?

01:38:25.000 Well, I guess to the extent there's good news is the entire world economy will collapse eventually at this rate.

01:38:34.000 So where they can't earn money will be kind of irrelevant.

01:38:40.000 I think if it comes to the point where you can't make a dollar, people stop trading dollars.

01:38:45.000 Well, then they start trading other things.

01:38:47.000 Right.

01:38:47.000 Like bullets and food.

01:38:49.000 Yeah.

01:38:49.000 Things that will be more valuable and more directly, uh, well usable.

01:38:54.000 And there will also be, well, until it's stamped out, kind of, uh, extracurricular currencies like the Bitcoin and the other stuff.

01:39:02.000 You know what I always thought was funny when, you know- Oh, Bitcoin.

01:39:04.000 I'm sorry.

01:39:05.000 I had to do that.

01:39:06.000 Alex Jones would be like, buy your gold, people!

01:39:08.000 You gotta buy your gold!

01:39:09.000 You can't eat gold.

01:39:11.000 Exactly.

01:39:13.000 So I would tell people this.

01:39:14.000 Let's say you're walking down the street.

01:39:15.000 It's the apocalypse, right?

01:39:17.000 And you're carrying a big sandwich.

01:39:20.000 And there's a guy to your left and a guy to your right.

01:39:23.000 And you're like, alright, I got this sandwich.

01:39:25.000 Let's trade.

01:39:26.000 The guy on your left goes, I have a gold coin.

01:39:29.000 The guy on your right says, I have a bottle of water.

01:39:31.000 Guess who's going to be trading for that food?

01:39:34.000 Exactly.

01:39:34.000 It's not the guy with the gold coin.

01:39:36.000 No.

01:39:36.000 Water is going to be worth substantially more than gold in a crisis situation, especially in big cities.

01:39:42.000 Yes.

01:39:42.000 You could have a big wheelbarrow full of gold bars and people are going to be like, I can't eat or drink that dude, I'm dying.

01:39:48.000 And they'll be like, where's the water at?

01:39:50.000 Interestingly, I saw this video once.

01:39:52.000 There's apparently, like, in New York City, a stream that runs under buildings that you can actually access, like, if you jump over a wall.

01:39:58.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:40:00.000 And there was a dude who was an urban explorer who talks about how when you go to New York, you see all this city, all these buildings and asphalt, but they actually had to preserve this stream.

01:40:10.000 And so you can actually find it somewhere.

01:40:11.000 I don't know, it's a crazy story.

01:40:12.000 Oh, that's freaky.

01:40:14.000 Alright, let's see.

01:40:14.000 Tyler Wojnarowski says, Wow, Tim, I'm very impressed with the top-notch guests you've had on the show this week.

01:40:20.000 Keep up the great work.

01:40:21.000 Your show is fantastic.

01:40:22.000 Well, thank you very much.

01:40:22.000 I mean, look, we're lucky people want to come on the show.

01:40:26.000 It's important that I be praised.

01:40:28.000 That's right.

01:40:28.000 As a Los Angeles trial lawyer, I have a gigantic ego and it needs to be fed.

01:40:33.000 And it's good for me, too, because when guests talk more and more quickly, I can just kind of relax and be like, ah, it's like a break for once, you know?

01:40:41.000 Schlichter's got this.

01:40:43.000 He's gonna talk.

01:40:44.000 I'm just gonna sit back and, you know, let it roll.

01:40:46.000 Let it roll on over me.

01:40:48.000 No, I would not rather have Putin than Biden.

01:40:50.000 Putin's a bad guy.

01:40:51.000 All right, do be McNasty says I'd rather have he says I'd rather have Putin than Biden. It's painful, but true

01:40:58.000 No, I would not rather have Poops a bad guy. Yeah, and the fact that the liberals don't

01:41:07.000 like him does not make him a good guy Putin You know, look he's a bad. He's a bad dude who runs bad a 0.79

01:41:14.000 group of bad boys Yes, he does. 0.97

01:41:16.000 And he is not nice.

01:41:17.000 He's not a friend of the United States.

01:41:19.000 And if he had more power, he would cause us more damage.

01:41:23.000 He doesn't have that much power, but the liberals who won't shut up about him give him more.

01:41:30.000 Oh yeah.

01:41:30.000 All right, Mr. Ras Lyons says, Hey Kurt, will you write a novel showing the splitting of the U.S.

01:41:35.000 from Kelly's perspective?

01:41:37.000 I came into the series from Indian country.

01:41:39.000 Great guest this week, Tim.

01:41:41.000 Uh, yes, I'm already reading it.

01:41:43.000 Number five, Crisis is from his, uh, does talk about the country splitting up and the next one, The Split, which will be out in May, uh, carries it on.

01:41:51.000 And I'm, uh, I'm quite happy with the progress about halfway through it.

01:41:54.000 I have so much fun writing these books.

01:41:57.000 It is so much fun to write these novels, even though I'm talking about this horrible stuff.

01:42:03.000 Have you played The Division?

01:42:05.000 The video game.

01:42:07.000 Uh, no.

01:42:07.000 You should definitely check it out.

01:42:08.000 I'm afraid of video games.

01:42:10.000 If I start playing video games, I may never stop.

01:42:13.000 Check out The Division.

01:42:14.000 I think you'll like it.

01:42:15.000 It's a few years old at this point.

01:42:17.000 The first one is about a bioweapon gets released.

01:42:20.000 New York is basically a quarantine zone.

01:42:23.000 So it's like a documentary.

01:42:24.000 Yes, absolutely. 0.99

01:42:26.000 It's got a governor who keeps grabbing breasts. 1.00

01:42:29.000 Well, so you're part of an organization called The Division, which was created under Presidential Directive 51.

01:42:38.000 Are you familiar with Directive 51?

01:42:39.000 I am not.

01:42:41.000 Is it related to Project 51?

01:42:42.000 Or, I'm sorry, Area 51?

01:42:43.000 I think it's Directive 51.

01:42:45.000 George W. Bush created it, and it creates the ability of the President to declare an emergency and create a new continuity of government Which creates like a singular federal authority all over all others.

01:42:58.000 And it's a pretty crazy directive.

01:43:00.000 Now, it's legality hasn't been tested, but I think you'd get a kick out of the game because you basically play as these dudes with guns and like special reconnaissance tech to go in and deal with the factions that rise up in response to a power vacuum.

01:43:12.000 It's like Escape from New York.

01:43:15.000 Only this time you're going in and you're trying to deal with like paramilitary groups that are trying to take over certain parts of the city.

01:43:23.000 Gangs. 0.91

01:43:24.000 Could I have a bitchin' Mac-10 with a scope on it? 0.98

01:43:27.000 Yep. 0.93

01:43:27.000 Yeah, you can get all sorts of guns and modifications. 0.93

01:43:30.000 It's a fun game.

01:43:31.000 It's super fun.

01:43:32.000 You go in with a group of like, you know, three of your friends and you have to like, there's in the first one you raid the Lincoln Center and it's been taken.

01:43:40.000 Right.

01:43:40.000 Taken over by, like, gangs.

01:43:41.000 And it's actually New York City.

01:43:44.000 You go into, like, Times Square.

01:43:44.000 And the funny thing is, Woody Allen is in it, and he has a gang of young women who... It's not!

01:43:53.000 But I'd welcome the mod.

01:43:54.000 It's a thing.

01:43:54.000 It's a mod.

01:43:56.000 I think we should add that on.

01:43:56.000 That would be Mia Farrow.

01:43:59.000 You can play them off against each other.

01:44:01.000 That sounds great.

01:44:03.000 And Ronan Sinatra, which is... OK.

01:44:06.000 A sense of... That's a tangent. A sense of Muse 3 says, hey gang, Delaware resident here. At least

01:44:11.000 once a week traffic is held up for hours because of Joe Biden's traveling. Lots of resources and

01:44:16.000 taxpayers' time wasted. Also, do you still have a P.O. box for receiving stuff? We do. If you go

01:44:20.000 to timcast.com, I think it's in the contact section. But, uh, welcome to living near where

01:44:26.000 our president lives.

01:44:27.000 I'm pretty sure it was like that with Obama when he was in Chicago.

01:44:29.000 Oh, he would come to Los Angeles and lock it up, and I would just love it.

01:44:32.000 I remember that.

01:44:33.000 I would love it, because it was all the liberals who voted for him.

01:44:35.000 Like, he's sitting gridlocked with your president.

01:44:38.000 Uh, the funny thing is, this guy, he needs to know that he was gridlocked this week because they were taking the dog home.

01:44:45.000 Ah, very important.

01:44:46.000 So he had to make it for Fido.

01:44:48.000 Really?

01:44:48.000 Bruceman says, You talk about social media censorship, but hardly mentioned Google search

01:44:53.000 results censorship.

01:44:54.000 Since 2016, anti-establishment information doesn't exist on Google search.

01:44:58.000 I believe we actually did several segments where I mentioned my YouTube channels.

01:45:03.000 My other two were blacklisted on Google search.

01:45:06.000 Really?

01:45:07.000 Yes.

01:45:08.000 For to go to like DuckDuckGo or something.

01:45:10.000 Yep.

01:45:10.000 Or directly to type in the URL.

01:45:12.000 Funny thing is, after I mentioned it on this show, the blacklist was removed and my channel started to reappear in Google search.

01:45:19.000 Do you think that there are infiltrators inside Google who are listening to you and who are kind of...

01:45:26.000 I'm taking the word woke to mean, you know, essentially... Like, are there, like, woke people at Google who, like, spy on the show and try and get me in trouble or something?

01:45:33.000 No, no, no.

01:45:34.000 Woke people.

01:45:35.000 Woke for us.

01:45:36.000 Woke who see what we see.

01:45:37.000 Oh, like, red-pilled.

01:45:39.000 You could call it red-pilled.

01:45:40.000 That's the equivalent of woke.

01:45:42.000 Woke means they woke up to the realities of critical race theory or whatever, and red-pilled means... I just love saying woke because it just ticks them off so much.

01:45:48.000 You can't say that!

01:45:50.000 Well, A, I'm doing it.

01:45:51.000 B, I'm also doing it.

01:45:52.000 I know a lot of people at Google who apparently really like my show.

01:45:57.000 And I've spoken with other major entertainment companies who have tried to sign me and pitch deals I've rejected.

01:46:05.000 But they tell me basically Google, they're big fans.

01:46:09.000 It's a lukewarm show.

01:46:11.000 I tell people not to swear, to simmer down, not to be mean and things like that.

01:46:15.000 So they like that.

01:46:16.000 Yeah, you're mellow.

01:46:18.000 Milk toast.

01:46:19.000 You're mellow.

01:46:21.000 I don't know if you're milk toast, because there's a lot of woke going on.

01:46:24.000 That's the joke.

01:46:25.000 It's self-deprecating.

01:46:26.000 There's a lot of woke going on.

01:46:28.000 Conservative woke.

01:46:29.000 I think Google sees this as a way to have, you know, look, as Google excises many conservative channels, They're going to lose a lot of users.

01:46:40.000 So they love it if they can get a lukewarm, centrist show that conservatives are willing to watch, even if they disagree with it, because YouTube can make money then while getting rid of what conservatives actually want to watch.

01:46:51.000 I don't think you're, I don't think you're lukewarm.

01:46:53.000 I think you take a very, uh, it's becoming a mainstream conservative view.

01:46:59.000 The mainstream conservative has changed.

01:47:00.000 It's no longer a bunch of bow-tied virgins pitching their cruises.

01:47:04.000 No, look, right now, conservative is essentialism and democrat is constructivism.

01:47:09.000 So that's what it is.

01:47:12.000 So I took the eight values test.

01:47:15.000 Actually, I took the political compass test.

01:47:17.000 I am a left libertarian.

01:47:18.000 I am almost a socialist.

01:47:21.000 But it doesn't ask you questions about modern culture war issues.

01:47:24.000 It asks you questions about corporate regulation and international relations.

01:47:29.000 So sure, on those points that mattered 10 years ago, that's where I land on the political compass.

01:47:33.000 On the eight values test, I'm mostly an essentialist, but I'm a progressive.

01:47:38.000 Progressive and like a bunch of left positions.

01:47:43.000 But when it comes to science, I believe that science and objective reality exist.

01:47:48.000 And that's what separates me from the woke crowd and the modern Democrats. 0.98

01:47:53.000 That's probably why when Glenn Greenwald said, if you think the Proud Boys are the seats of power, then you're nuts. 0.90

01:48:00.000 It's because he's right. 0.58

01:48:01.000 There's an objective truth.

01:48:03.000 Random groups of, you know, roving bands of right-wingers is not a threat to the majority of people in this country.

01:48:09.000 No, it objectively is not.

01:48:12.000 And I got to tell you, I love hearing the people tell me about how they love science.

01:48:21.000 It's just, I think there's a shameless-less problem.

01:48:26.000 I think we have lost too much shame because now they're just lying to your face.

01:48:31.000 It's like, no!

01:48:33.000 A man can become a woman! 1.00

01:48:34.000 No!

01:48:35.000 This freezing weather means global warming!

01:48:38.000 They've changed definitions.

01:48:40.000 Yeah, they do that.

01:48:43.000 They never quite come out and say, yes, I'm ignoring objective reality.

01:48:48.000 But they do, and then they kind of like plaster it over a little bit.

01:48:52.000 But I'll tell you, I think the media is the biggest problem.

01:48:54.000 I understand this.

01:48:55.000 It is a huge problem.

01:48:56.000 Well, because the media is choosing to ignore a bunch of things.

01:48:59.000 Yes.

01:48:59.000 So I'll give you an example.

01:49:01.000 Brian Stelter, I think it was Brian Stelter, wrote an article, Newsmax Ratings Collapse, or whatever.

01:49:07.000 Newsmax wrote an article, CNN's ratings collapse, but they only mention Newsmax.

01:49:12.000 In the Newsmax article, they mention Newsmax ratings are down, CNN ratings are down.

01:49:17.000 Hey, that's a fuller picture, isn't it?

01:49:19.000 CNN only mentions Newsmax and passively mentions cable news ratings are down, too.

01:49:24.000 Well, I'm a little biased against CNN since I got kicked off with Don Lemon.

01:49:28.000 You got kicked off?

01:49:29.000 On December 22, 2015, I got kicked off as my last CNN.

01:49:33.000 I was the conservative guy, and I was not a Trump supporter at that time.

01:49:39.000 And they called me on one day, last minute, and I did it Skype from my office.

01:49:43.000 and it was about uh the the president then candidate had said uh yeah hillary got schlonged by uh obama during the primary and don lemon's having this fit because he used the word schlonged which i i was like okay mild yiddish vulgarity okay i i could not i i was i was reliable time out why trump was not a traditional conservative But I couldn't do it that day.

01:50:08.000 I was just, I can't, I can't.

01:50:10.000 I said, Don, I care about this so little it would take Stephen Hawking to quantify it.

01:50:16.000 And he's like, what?!

01:50:18.000 But that's the greatest outrage in the history of outrages!

01:50:21.000 And I said, especially knowing that this woman, you know, when we're talking about this, and this is the same woman who enabled her husband to treat his intern like a humidor.

01:50:35.000 Oh, there's a lot more than that with the woman who accused Bill Clinton. 0.91

01:50:37.000 Oh, yeah, but I just said that I did the humidor thing and he said you can't say that. 0.94

01:50:43.000 So I said it again because I'll be damned if that little weirdo is going to tell me anything.

01:50:50.000 And he kicked me off. 0.97

01:50:52.000 And I got kicked off.

01:50:53.000 The screen goes blank and the producer goes, thank you, goodbye, click.

01:50:57.000 And it's usually the producer, you're fantastic, you're amazing, we'll call you again.

01:51:02.000 I was like, huh, well that was abrupt.

01:51:04.000 And suddenly my phone starts going off.

01:51:06.000 I didn't realize I got cut off.

01:51:08.000 It's on YouTube.

01:51:09.000 It's actually kind of yeah.

01:51:10.000 Yeah.

01:51:11.000 All right.

01:51:11.000 Let's read some more We got the civic nationalities civic nationalist says something that everyone must learn is people don't shift to the right But the younger generation become more left-wing and that is the cultural shift and Tim made you say God save the Queen No, there you go.

01:51:26.000 Congratulations Yeah, I think what happens for a lot of younger people is that they're consistently pushed to the left.

01:51:35.000 And I think there's a lot of factors.

01:51:37.000 There's absolutely an ideological push to make the kids become more and more leftist.

01:51:41.000 But I think you end up with an age group of like late 20s that assume young people are further left.

01:51:48.000 And so these assumptions drive them to try and market and sell products to kids that are further and further left.

01:51:54.000 But a better way to put it is probably it's a corruption of what they saw when they were kids.

01:51:59.000 When I was a kid, we had family-friendly messaging on kids' shows.

01:52:03.000 We had shows where it was like, don't be mean to your neighbors and don't be racist. 0.95

01:52:07.000 And so now these people have grown up and they've created this corrupted mutant version of the same thing that is like nonsensical garbage, but they think. 0.93

01:52:15.000 It's like, that's what I was told when I was a kid. 1.00

01:52:17.000 And you're like, What are you, are you nuts? 1.00

01:52:19.000 This show's insane! 1.00

01:52:21.000 Some of the stuff they show kids is just brutal.

01:52:23.000 Well, I, I... The entertainment industry is captured by Woke, that's for sure.

01:52:28.000 But I think there's...

01:52:30.000 Look, your show is an example of the pushback.

01:52:34.000 You're like the Samizdat, the secret forbidden information network in the Soviet Union.

01:52:44.000 I mean, you're saying things that shouldn't be said.

01:52:48.000 You're constantly being chased by the censors.

01:52:50.000 A lot of other people doing that too.

01:52:53.000 And people are getting the word.

01:52:55.000 I don't think that kids are as far left as some people worry.

01:53:04.000 I think, to quote The Who, the kids are all right.

01:53:07.000 And by the way, I love Motorhead's cover of God Save the Queen.

01:53:11.000 It's really good.

01:53:12.000 Let me singing lead.

01:53:13.000 It's beautiful.

01:53:14.000 But I think, and by the way, I think the death of rock and roll has been a huge problem for the young kids because there's no rebel music now.

01:53:23.000 Right.

01:53:24.000 You know, rock and roll was always an outlaw brand.

01:53:29.000 Now the music is, I mean, you know, the politicians are hanging out with the rap artists.

01:53:36.000 It's establishment.

01:53:37.000 I guess I'll just have to make more music videos.

01:53:39.000 Yes.

01:53:41.000 Loud, fast rules, man.

01:53:42.000 Some punk rock.

01:53:43.000 Alright, we got one for you, though.

01:53:44.000 though. Connor O'Brien says, Kurt, my workplace, Big Four, is mandating an anti-racism training.

01:53:50.000 If I refuse to partake and get fired, will you sue them with me?

01:53:54.000 Um, well, there's a lot of questions there and I'm not giving anybody legal advice.

01:53:58.000 I'm not anybody's lawyer.

01:54:02.000 You should consult an employment attorney in your jurisdiction to find out your rights.

01:54:06.000 Interestingly, there are many states that pass laws to protect communists, which essentially prevent them from being biased against people's political viewpoints.

01:54:19.000 And California is one of them.

01:54:21.000 And I bet they never expected it to be used by conservatives.

01:54:25.000 But I think that is a way to go.

01:54:28.000 Look, the legal system's not perfect.

01:54:30.000 You're probably going to lose more cases than you win.

01:54:33.000 But, you know, that's how change through litigation is made.

01:54:39.000 You bring cases.

01:54:41.000 And Donald Trump, at least in the federal courts, Yep.

01:54:45.000 That's right.

01:54:45.000 a lot of judges who are much more open to hearing this sort of thing. Also states, look there's a

01:54:51.000 lot of power in the states that are not held by woke liberals. Oh yeah. And DeSantis is proving it,

01:54:57.000 you mentioned his censorship stuff. Yep. There is no reason the states can't pass laws to protect

01:55:04.000 freedom of expression. Yep. And they can make it very tough on the tech companies. Yeah.

01:55:10.000 Yeah.

01:55:10.000 That is one place we need to do it.

01:55:12.000 This is where the struggle's gonna be.

01:55:14.000 And I think you do take them to court, where it's appropriate.

01:55:17.000 Right on.

01:55:18.000 Alright, Cold Water says, I was in the California National Guard Infantry in 1992, living in Long Beach, and activated the same day the riots broke out.

01:55:26.000 Next thing you know, I'm running around Compton with an M16.

01:55:28.000 Crazy.

01:55:30.000 Oh my god, he's probably 3160 also.

01:55:33.000 What does that mean?

01:55:34.000 Third Battalion, 160th Infantry out of Inglewood.

01:55:37.000 There you go.

01:55:38.000 Well, it says Long Beach.

01:55:40.000 Long Beach is a little south of there.

01:55:41.000 Yeah.

01:55:42.000 I think we may have had a company there.

01:55:44.000 I think Delta Company was there.

01:55:46.000 I don't remember for sure.

01:55:47.000 But hey man, Colonel Wenger.

01:55:50.000 All right.

01:55:51.000 Doobie McNasty is back.

01:55:52.000 He says, Fauci is a... Is he one of the Doobie brothers?

01:55:54.000 Yeah, he was the long-lost Doobie brother. 0.99

01:55:57.000 The long-lost Doobie brother, McNasty. 0.99

01:55:59.000 All right, he says, Fauci is a despotic piece of dog doo. 0.97

01:56:02.000 Rand Paul actually grilled him today. 0.98

01:56:04.000 It's worth watching, if you haven't.

01:56:06.000 Love what you do, and I'm jealous of your skating skills.

01:56:09.000 Now, Doobie had to issue a correction because he spelled skating skills wrong, but he says, skating skills, F-ing autocorrect, but thank you for the superchats.

01:56:15.000 Thanks, man.

01:56:16.000 Well, you've got you got Doobie's vote.

01:56:19.000 All right, Doobie.

01:56:19.000 I did hear a little of of Rand Paul today.

01:56:24.000 He did a great job.

01:56:25.000 I heard it on Larry O'Connor's show.

01:56:28.000 Yeah.

01:56:29.000 And yeah, that look, that's the kind of thing we need.

01:56:34.000 We've got to keep making our case.

01:56:37.000 It does change minds eventually.

01:56:39.000 And look, we're the common sense guys.

01:56:43.000 And people are going to come around.

01:56:45.000 Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, and it'll probably get worse before it gets better, but I refuse—and I'm almost pounding the table—I refuse to give in to pessimism.

01:56:55.000 I refuse to give up.

01:56:56.000 Well, here's an option.

01:56:57.000 OMG Puppi says, The Open Society Foundation has a $16 billion endowment from Soros.

01:57:04.000 Perfect target for a massive wealth tax?

01:57:07.000 Well, tax the endowments.

01:57:08.000 Oh, I definitely down with taxing the endowments on academia.

01:57:12.000 Anything that will destroy academia is... What does Will say?

01:57:15.000 Seize the endowments?

01:57:16.000 Seize the endowments!

01:57:21.000 Yeah, he started that, right?

01:57:22.000 Will Chamberlain started that.

01:57:23.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:24.000 Will's woke.

01:57:25.000 I like Will.

01:57:25.000 But, like, the right one.

01:57:27.000 He's good woke.

01:57:28.000 He's good woke.

01:57:29.000 And I use woke unless I'm using it ironically.

01:57:32.000 I'm using it, I guess, ironically.

01:57:35.000 DJ Madero says, please, if you want to watch a great Star Trek episode, watch By the Pale Moonlight from DS9.

01:57:42.000 It shows you what a good man will do.

01:57:43.000 Oh, God, he's got an acronym.

01:57:45.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:47.000 DS9.

01:57:47.000 That's actually one of the shows.

01:57:48.000 It will show you what a good man will do when he believes the ends justify the means.

01:57:53.000 Quote, I can live with it.

01:57:55.000 I can live with it.

01:57:57.000 Yeah, DS9's great too.

01:57:59.000 That's a tougher one, as I understand.

01:58:02.000 It's kind of edgier.

01:58:03.000 Which one?

01:58:04.000 Deep Space Nine?

01:58:05.000 Yes.

01:58:05.000 I've never watched it, but I understand it's the edgier one.

01:58:08.000 It's not all, like, soft.

01:58:13.000 Next Generation was about the philosophical consequences of technological advancement and meeting new civilizations.

01:58:18.000 And Star Trek itself was always kind of like that.

01:58:21.000 They would meet a new civilization that had different cultural norms and structures and then, like, explore and navigate.

01:58:27.000 it was about kirk killing romulans and laying pipe with green alien chicks all right he was like he was keystone okay that's how much pipe kirk yeah look i'll tell you i'll tell you i dead serious i watched star trek it was always on reruns in the 70s when i was growing up I tried to model some of my leadership stuff on Captain Kirk.

01:58:53.000 Not all of it.

01:58:55.000 But some of the stuff.

01:58:57.000 Always showing confidence.

01:58:59.000 Always trying to have integrity.

01:59:01.000 Always being tactically proficient.

01:59:03.000 Knowing your stuff.

01:59:05.000 I mean, you could do a lot worse than being James Kirk.

01:59:09.000 The old James.

01:59:09.000 Not the movie James Kirk where you can't do a sit-up.

01:59:13.000 I mean the little tight green thing.

01:59:17.000 Sweaty Kirk.

01:59:18.000 But the next generation is the best.

01:59:20.000 I don't know what they're doing now, but I don't, you know, much care for it.

01:59:24.000 All right.

01:59:25.000 SVT Bill says, Tim, your Alex Jones impression is great.

01:59:28.000 LOL.

01:59:29.000 That's right.

01:59:30.000 I think I did it when Alex was here.

01:59:31.000 It was funny.

01:59:32.000 OP says... Am I in the Alex Jones chair?

01:59:35.000 Yeah, you are.

01:59:35.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:59:36.000 Oh, wow.

01:59:36.000 Can you smell it?

01:59:39.000 His heady musk is overwhelming.

01:59:43.000 He was in that chair twice.

01:59:45.000 OP says, Hey Tim, for Super Chat, would you be interested in having IRL gaming events like tournaments after lockdowns are done?

01:59:52.000 I think it'd be good for building the brand and building culture.

01:59:56.000 You know what?

01:59:56.000 It's a good idea.

01:59:57.000 You know what we should do, Ian?

01:59:58.000 In the venue?

01:59:59.000 We should put floating chairs with TVs on the ceiling so you're, like, floating and playing a video game while, like, laid back.

02:00:05.000 You know what I mean?

02:00:06.000 Mm-hmm.

02:00:06.000 That'd be cool.

02:00:07.000 I wanna make some 360 desks where you can spin around, like...

02:00:11.000 Hey, isn't there, like, a body suit that's attached to, like, some sort of probe in the ground where you can, like, do 360 video gaming with your eye?

02:00:21.000 Yeah, there's a suit you wear.

02:00:23.000 This is how much I know about video games.

02:00:24.000 You strap yourself in, and you can run in place in virtual reality.

02:00:29.000 Yeah, I'm not into anything that involves being strapped in.

02:00:31.000 I'm not like Romney, because I think there's an undercurrent there.

02:00:34.000 Not just saying.

02:00:37.000 But, you know, I think there's a vinyl thing.

02:00:40.000 But I don't know.

02:00:42.000 But no, that just seems to... I think I've gotten off the point.

02:00:46.000 That seems like fun.

02:00:47.000 All right, we'll do a... Bring me back in!

02:00:50.000 We'll do a couple more here.

02:00:52.000 Archangel978 says, Now, I gotta stop you right there.

02:01:01.000 I think we've only mentioned The Four Lights maybe a total of five times in the past year.

02:01:06.000 And it's come up mostly from comments, and only twice in the past two days, because literally the episode came on TV the moment before we had Jack on the show.

02:01:15.000 But, you know, when we say smash the like button, you should drink if you're old enough and responsible enough, and then smash the like button.

02:01:25.000 Yes.

02:01:26.000 Or at least go face down on the like button.

02:01:28.000 That's right.

02:01:30.000 Yeah.

02:01:30.000 SeaTurtle257 says, Tim, you're loving the names of these people.

02:01:34.000 Well, are there like 256 other SeaTurtles out there, probably?

02:01:37.000 Maybe.

02:01:38.000 You don't know.

02:01:39.000 Are they sitting together?

02:01:40.000 Is it just the username?

02:01:41.000 Hey, DobyMcNasty! 0.67

02:01:44.000 I'm SeaTurtle649!

02:01:47.000 All right.

02:01:47.000 Seat Journal 257 says, Tim, I'm a journalist in the Navy.

02:01:52.000 I will be retired this year.

02:01:53.000 I would love to work with you.

02:01:55.000 My first project will be a docu-series of me traveling different sites on my motorcycle.

02:01:59.000 That sounds pretty cool.

02:02:00.000 You can always email jobs at timcast.com.

02:02:02.000 Granted, it is just filled to the brim with emails and we'll go through it when we can, but that's the best way to get it.

02:02:09.000 You know, I mean, Kurt's input.

02:02:14.000 You got a phone?

02:02:15.000 Get out there on your bike and do it.

02:02:17.000 That's the beauty of this technological revolution.

02:02:20.000 I'm looking around at your studio, and you have a very effective studio.

02:02:23.000 It looks good.

02:02:25.000 In the big scheme of things, it probably didn't cost that much.

02:02:27.000 My brother has a post-production company.

02:02:29.000 20 years ago, he bought what was called an Avid system to edit.

02:02:32.000 It cost $100,000.

02:02:34.000 See my iPhone?

02:02:36.000 It can edit better.

02:02:37.000 Yep.

02:02:38.000 If you want to be a journalist, get on your bike, take your phone, go out there, edit it up, put it up, and, you know, link people who... That's how you do it.

02:02:49.000 That's what I did.

02:02:49.000 Yeah, that's how you do it.

02:02:51.000 I mean, you just build.

02:02:55.000 I started off with Andrew Breitbart.

02:02:57.000 I wrote one article.

02:02:58.000 Now I get a lot of action over at Town Hall.

02:03:01.000 I got my locals.

02:03:02.000 Go to my locals page.

02:03:05.000 It's a lot of fun.

02:03:06.000 And you can do it.

02:03:08.000 Technology allows us to do these things and allows us to get around these gatekeepers.

02:03:13.000 There are no walls.

02:03:14.000 They're gatekeeping walls that fell like the walls around Jericho.

02:03:19.000 All right, we'll do one more super chat.

02:03:22.000 J.H.

02:03:24.000 Schwalbach says, Kurt, just bought three of your books on Audible.

02:03:31.000 Wife will need to wait a little longer for the new boobies, Tim. 1.00

02:03:33.000 Yes, I'm a member, but in Cali, coming to events will be hard.

02:03:38.000 Your books are more important.

02:03:40.000 There's a lot to unpack there.

02:03:43.000 First of all, I mean, you know, wow.

02:03:47.000 Thank you?

02:03:50.000 Congratulations, sir.

02:03:52.000 Well, I'm glad you're keeping us abreast of your reading habits.

02:04:26.000 Thanks for having me.

02:04:27.000 I hope people go and check out my books.

02:04:30.000 What are they called? The first one, People's Republic, Indian Country, Wildfire, Collapse, 1.00

02:04:35.000 and Crisis. And they're a lot of fun. Sounds like it.

02:04:38.000 People seem to be really big fans of them.

02:04:40.000 Look, I have a lot of fun writing them, and I'm very gratified that people like them.

02:04:47.000 Get into my little community.

02:04:49.000 I'm like Malice. I'm building a little community. What's super gratifying is I'll go away for a

02:04:53.000 while. I'll come back, and people will have posted other things, and they're having discussions that

02:04:57.000 that I don't necessarily be a part of, but I like to jump in on.

02:05:00.000 So it's kind of cool.

02:05:01.000 Cool.

02:05:02.000 All right.

02:05:09.000 You were right.

02:05:10.000 Stop the charade! 0.98

02:05:11.000 Turned out he was right.

02:05:12.000 It's true, yeah.

02:05:14.000 Thanks, man.
