Joe Biden apologizes to a man who called him a murderer, and then calls Vladimir Putin a "stone cold killer." Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to remove sitting members of Congress, and they want to install a Democrat who lost her election even after the Republican is seated.
00:00:44.000He took on Corn Pop with the strength of the hero we'd expect.
00:00:49.000He looked Corn Pop in the eyes and said, I'm sorry, I called you Esther.
00:00:52.000And then Corn Pop put away a straight razor, and then Biden breathed a sigh of relief.
00:00:56.000That's the kind of leadership you need.
00:00:57.000Someone who recognizes they have to apologize and be deferential to those who threaten them.
00:01:01.000Which 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?
00:01:08.000He's like, I looked him in the eyes and said he was a killer.
00:01:11.000And in response to this, Vladimir Putin was like, okay, how about we have a debate?
00:01:18.000And 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.
00:01:25.000He's not gonna be able to handle this.
00:01:27.000Vladimir Putin would walk all over him.
00:01:29.000And it pains me to say this, I don't want to speak ill of the president compared to the Russian president.
00:01:35.000We've got to be honest with ourselves.
00:01:37.000We've also got some other crazy stories.
00:01:38.000Democrats 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.
00:02:19.000I'm an author of a number of books, including the Kelly Turnbull series of conservative novels, hailed by Bill Kristol as appalling.
00:02:26.000So 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.
00:02:41.000I 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?
00:02:47.000It'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.
00:03:25.000It 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.
00:03:31.000Well, 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.
00:03:39.000So there's a crack forming in the woke cancel culture.
00:03:44.000Actually, 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.
00:05:04.000So 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.
00:06:45.000We have conversations and then all of a sudden it turns into conversation about God and the
00:06:49.000So, hey, if you want those exclusive segments, sign up.
00:06:52.000We'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.
00:06:58.000On the members-only one, you're allowed to swear, right?
00:07:05.000So also, don't forget to like, share, subscribe.
00:07:07.000If you do like the podcast, leave us a good review.
00:07:10.000Give us five stars, all that good stuff.
00:07:11.000Ladies 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.
00:07:22.000Biden spoke out about the Russian president in an ABC News interview this week.
00:07:26.000ABC News reports, Quote, I've just thought of this now, Putin told a Russian state television reporter.
00:07:31.000I 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.
00:07:42.000It seems to me that would be interesting for the people of Russia and for the people of the United States.
00:07:47.000They 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.
00:08:00.000Russia recalled its ambassador to the U.S.
00:08:25.000And 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.
00:08:33.000They're like, dude, the president just shouted you out.
00:09:51.000They talk about China and things that are going on there.
00:09:53.000And 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.
00:10:02.000There was a certain, like, diplomatic incident, I suppose, where these guys were deferential to China.
00:10:07.000And there's fears that as, you know, China's taken Hong Kong already.
00:14:27.000It'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.
00:14:35.000I think the whole Russia narrative has been nothing but good for Russia.
00:14:40.000It projects America saying Russia is the greatest threat.
00:14:44.000And then they can use that to puff themselves up, make them seem bigger than they really are.
00:14:49.000I 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.
00:15:01.000Do they really do that or are you just being a jerk?
00:16:53.000If you think the real power centers in the U.S.
00:16:56.000are 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.
00:17:55.000If you grew up in China, you'd have a different set of beliefs.
00:17:57.000If you grew up in India, if you grew up in Pakistan, the people there have a different culture and different set of beliefs.
00:18:02.000You didn't naturally come to the ideas of classical liberalism.
00:18:05.000It actually took a very long time, and the American Revolution was proof of that.
00:18:10.000I 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.
00:18:17.000Well, it's because your moral framework is based on the same, similar ideas.
00:18:56.000You look at a college today, the way they teach, and a college the way they taught in 1946.
00:18:59.000Yeah, 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.
00:19:08.000All 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.
00:19:41.000So 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.
00:19:54.000You'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.
00:20:49.000The 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.
00:23:17.000And 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.
00:23:39.000And 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.
00:25:26.000It was a riot because Antifa showed up and attacked people.
00:25:28.000But 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.
00:25:34.000Antifa 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.
00:25:42.000The right-wing group showed up, showed up literally to have an event to be religious.
00:26:23.000And 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.
00:26:32.000The charges get dropped, they get told to go home.
00:26:34.000At a certain point, you've got to punish the kids.
00:26:38.000And I'm not saying lengthy prison sentences or beatings or anything like that.
00:26:41.000I'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.
00:27:28.000See, 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.
00:28:16.000So 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.
00:28:27.000They know the end result of this will be total chaos and destruction.
00:29:55.000Like, 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.
00:30:05.000Let's say the entire country breaks down for some reason, and it's just chaos.
00:30:09.000Survivalists are going to be the kings of the castle.
00:30:11.000They'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.
00:30:15.000You're going to have a series of conservative groups and ex-military who are going to be doing very, very well organizing.
00:30:21.000They've already got their friends, they've already got their training, they'll, you know, harden up, plus the militias.
00:30:27.000Regular liberals will be at the very bottom.
00:30:31.000These 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.
00:30:41.000it 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?
00:31:00.000The whole society is broken down into a dystopian thing.
00:31:03.000Psy 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?
00:31:10.000You can't be a diversity consultant anymore.
00:31:12.000You know, we don't need any more gender studies teachers.
00:31:16.000We need somebody who knows how to disinfect the toilet so people don't get sick.
00:31:19.000Field sanitation is an important thing.
00:32:06.000In 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.
00:32:21.000And, uh, the, uh, verdict came down from Simi Valley where they acquitted the police officers.
00:35:01.000And they all had military training and they did not play.
00:35:05.000And people were like, okay, maybe we don't try and knock off this liquor store.
00:35:11.000Frankly, 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.
00:35:26.000But 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.
00:35:37.000I also think everybody ought to know basic medical stuff.
00:35:56.000Does the average person know how to do CPR?
00:35:59.000Does the average person know how to tend to a bleed, tie a tourniquet?
00:36:05.000Any kind of basic survival medical fighting in any capacity?
00:36:10.000I watch these videos of people getting into fights and I'm like, what is he doing?
00:36:14.000They're just like cartoon versions of fighting because people don't know the basics of defense of anything.
00:36:19.000And this is not about being aggressive and going out and causing trouble.
00:36:22.000This is being able to do your duty as a citizen To have order and safety in society.
00:36:29.000If you go to a car wreck, I carry a ready bag in my car, right?
00:36:34.000So I got stuff, I got tourniquet, I got the blood, the bleeding stop gauze stuff, some Israeli packet.
00:36:44.000I 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.
00:36:54.000Do you know why you should carry around a first aid kit?
00:37:38.000We are weakening ourselves to the point where we will regret it because...
00:37:41.000We 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.
00:37:49.000We have the summation of human knowledge in our pockets.
00:37:52.000We argue with strangers and look at cats on a moment's notice.
00:37:55.000And 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.
00:38:43.000And everyone's on the ground, and I'm like, bro, at least you can say, when in Rome, right?
00:38:48.000If 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.
00:38:57.000They probably know a little better, and I like the way that you mentioned Rome.
00:39:29.000And you would go out and you would leave your farm and you would be gone for 10 years campaigning against Hannibal or whoever.
00:39:39.000yeah 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!
00:40:15.000And 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.
00:40:25.000So talking about the LA riots, think about the people there who just took.
00:40:29.000Think about when everything broke down, who the people were who just went and took whatever they wanted.
00:41:39.000But 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.
00:41:50.000Everything that was perishable perished.
00:41:52.000And so you had lukewarm water and Gatorades and things like that.
00:41:55.000You could buy the dry goods you could buy or the canned goods.
00:41:57.000But imagine if it was sustained for longer than that.
00:42:00.000um 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?
00:43:44.000When 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.
00:43:49.000I literally ran a heavily armed car wash.
00:43:52.000So I'm not trying to come along as Pete Buttigieg or Dick Blumenthal or any of the war heroes.
00:43:58.000But 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.
00:44:29.000I used to jump off buildings when I was like 16.
00:44:32.000So 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.
00:48:09.000Let'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.
00:49:08.000A 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.
00:49:21.000We also have 73 Democrats sign efforts to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House after she's already been removed from her committees.
00:49:30.000Now we have them going after Brett Kavanaugh with Vanity Fair writing, could Brett Kavanaugh be booted from the Supreme Court?
00:49:57.000At what point do we just say, we have no elections.
00:49:59.000If they're going to be doing this after the fact.
00:50:02.000Once 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.
00:50:54.000We'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.
00:51:08.000I 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.
00:51:19.000I'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.
00:51:26.000I'm just some dude who's actually seen some stuff.
00:51:28.000But, 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.
00:51:53.000I'll tell you this, I see these Twitter posts from preppers and they post how they're laughing.
00:51:59.000I remember at the beginning of COVID, I drove across the U.S.
00:52:04.000I 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.
00:52:36.000So 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.
00:52:49.000So, Ray didn't actually do the investigation.
00:52:52.000They're trying to get pretext, it seems, to remove a Supreme Court justice, to remove two GOP reps.
00:52:57.000They already took Marjorie Taylor Greene off of her committees.
00:53:01.000I bring this up just to talk about the institutional decay.
00:53:04.000To say, like, at what point does this stop and do we recover?
00:53:07.000Or is this just the crumbling of the infrastructure that leads to the chaos?
00:53:11.000There's going to be one or two directions.
00:53:14.000Either it continues and there's chaos, or people say, whoa, stop.
00:53:19.000Now, we saw that young lady cancelled today.
00:55:07.000It'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.
00:55:16.000So 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.
00:56:30.000Academia is going to tell you you're a...
00:56:32.000You'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.
00:56:45.000Sounds like you're saying we already lost.
00:56:47.000I don't think we've ever— You made a really scary point, I'll tell you that.
00:56:51.000Think about this for everybody listening.
00:56:53.000Do 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?
00:57:01.000Would they support you as an American citizen?
00:57:32.000YouTube 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.
00:57:41.000Donald 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.
00:57:54.000Yet, 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.
00:58:04.000You are allowed to advocate for the Democrats have called for contesting a certified election.
00:58:53.000I 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.
01:01:06.000And 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.
01:01:18.000It's like they say in the SATs, for instance, Asians have to score higher than white people.
01:01:24.000They have to score like a 1,300 or so compared to like a 1,000 or whatever for a white person.
01:01:29.000Well 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.
01:01:35.000Now 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.
01:01:44.000They can't cancel every conservative, especially when some of these people are independent.
01:01:50.000When you have people who have their own YouTube channels or work for conservative outlets who will never get fired, what do they do?
01:01:56.000Well, they're like vampires, you know?
01:01:59.000They have a bloodlust, and they're searching for someone to... Softest target.
01:02:04.000But, you know, the conservatives are hardened, have their shields up, and are defending their communities, so they're turning on themselves in desperation.
01:03:48.000Or, you're not in the tribe, so I reject whatever it is you're saying without evidence.
01:03:52.000It's agonizing, but I think more and more people are coming around on it.
01:03:59.00030 years ago, we were talking about politically correct stuff.
01:04:05.000Bill Maher, politically incorrect on ABC, got fired for being politically incorrect.
01:04:11.0001986 or 7, I was an editor of the UC San Diego California Review, which was a conservative paper.
01:04:18.000And 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.
01:04:28.000It was being used, you know, 35 years ago.
01:04:33.000But it was kind of a niche thing for conservatives.
01:04:37.000I mean, it's right to whine about it, but it's still whining.
01:04:39.000now 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.
01:05:35.000I think the military is unsuited in most cases when it's not an emergency.
01:05:40.000Here, 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.
01:05:48.000OK, a position about half of Americans take.
01:06:12.000If 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.
01:08:08.000My favorite line from Ford was they were like, well, things have changed since, you know, circumstances changed since our last contract negotiation.
01:08:17.000And do you know what that thing that changed was?
01:08:24.000Now 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.
01:08:35.000You know, this whole... I saw they were, you know, Warren's... We gotta have a billionaire tax!
01:09:47.000Well, 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
01:10:20.000And unfortunately, you get all these conservatives.
01:10:23.000Well, you know, it's a private company.
01:11:59.000about 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.
01:12:17.000Look, no one does better under communism than the cadre, right?
01:12:24.000And there are a lot of Mensheviks running around Democrat Washington.
01:12:29.000A lot of these guys, it's like your own people are going to put you against the wall, figuratively.
01:13:31.000But basically, you know, he sees his job sent to another country.
01:13:34.000And 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.
01:13:57.000What 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?
01:14:31.000Again, I'm not a pacifist by any means.
01:14:35.000But, 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.
01:17:01.000I mean, you're just like... What the hell?
01:17:06.000You know, look, let's assume it's even true.
01:17:09.000Let's assume climate change isn't a giant hoax and a scam.
01:17:13.000Because it's one of those problems that seems every solution happens to be exactly every policy prescription its advocates always wanted anyway.
01:18:16.000And it's essentially, it's become an unserious organization.
01:18:23.000When you're focusing on all this other woke stuff, that's not a serious military.
01:18:29.000And I get emails and communications from people who are in or recently out,
01:18:34.000and it's bad and they're not focusing on war fighting.
01:18:37.000And I am terrified that one day I'm going to wake up and the Chinese government is going to say,
01:18:42.000Chinese 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.
01:20:14.000Yeah, 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.
01:20:22.000To make everything about Russia so that they don't have to worry about... Maybe it's that they know they've already lost.
01:21:22.000We made a mistake, and I bought into it, too.
01:21:26.000I thought that the Chinese might come around through free enterprise and slowly become more like us, not just in economics, but in individual free.
01:22:24.000It'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.
01:22:33.000So pulling over someone for blowing a stop sign versus running, rushing full speed to what looks like someone getting mugged.
01:22:38.000It'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.
01:23:10.000And 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.
01:24:44.000So 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.
01:24:51.000Only the problem is now that the left is rejecting civil rights.
01:24:56.000They're opposing individualism and freedom.
01:24:58.000I also reject the whole John Lithgow and Footloose vision of conservatives through history.
01:25:06.000We were not the ones who always said, No, you kids can't rock!
01:25:16.000I 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.
01:25:26.000It's great branding for the other side, because it's all baloney.
01:25:37.000I 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.
01:25:56.000Donald Trump is a, what, they call him a 90s Democrat?
01:25:59.000Donald Trump's interesting because he is the guy on the right.
01:26:01.000likened to Bill Clinton in a lot of ways.
01:26:03.000Not the worst ways, actually, no, the worst ways by the Democrats themselves.
01:26:09.000Donald Trump's interesting because he is the guy on the right, and I think he is on the right,
01:26:16.000even though he had some views that are traditionally liberal.
01:26:22.000But he's the guy who actually talked about what the base was talking about,
01:26:26.000as opposed to what the Bushes were talking about.
01:26:28.000Jeb Bush would sit and talk to you about, you know, tax rates all day.
01:26:33.000And 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.
01:26:43.000And people are like, yeah, my buddy's car got crashed into by an illegal alien.
01:26:47.000He didn't have insurance and he got screwed over.
01:27:02.000And 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.
01:30:23.000Every single general except for Flynn seemed to stick him.
01:30:27.000If DeSantis goes in, he's got a whole bunch of veterans of the Trump administration.
01:30:32.000and 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.
01:31:05.000I want the resignation of everybody whose job I get to pick.
01:32:09.000I, 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.
01:32:24.000Nine o'clock tomorrow, you will brief me on how you're protecting this man's First Amendment rights.
01:32:29.000If you're unsatisfactory, I will leave you.
01:32:32.000Your deputy will brief me the next day at 9 a.m.
01:32:37.000You do that one time, maybe two, they get the message.
01:32:42.000I don't see how a Democrat will win 2024.
01:32:44.000I don't see Joe Biden as having nearly the strength to run a second term physically.
01:32:51.000But Kamala's just so ridiculously unpopular.
01:32:53.000Tulsi Gabbard got more delegates than she did.
01:36:37.000But 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.
01:36:47.000We created this funny gorilla, he's holding money, and it's about the meme of, you know, apes together strong.
01:39:52.000There'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.
01:40:00.000And 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.
01:40:10.000And so you can actually find it somewhere.
01:40:28.000As a Los Angeles trial lawyer, I have a gigantic ego and it needs to be fed.
01:40:33.000And 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?
01:41:43.000Number 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.
01:41:51.000And I'm, uh, I'm quite happy with the progress about halfway through it.
01:41:54.000I have so much fun writing these books.
01:41:57.000It is so much fun to write these novels, even though I'm talking about this horrible stuff.
01:42:45.000George 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.
01:43:00.000Now, 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.
01:43:15.000Only 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.
01:43:32.000You 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.
01:45:12.000Funny thing is, after I mentioned it on this show, the blacklist was removed and my channel started to reappear in Google search.
01:45:19.000Do you think that there are infiltrators inside Google who are listening to you and who are kind of...
01:45:26.000I'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?
01:45:42.000Woke 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.
01:46:29.000I 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.
01:46:40.000So 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.
01:46:51.000I don't think you're, I don't think you're lukewarm.
01:46:53.000I think you take a very, uh, it's becoming a mainstream conservative view.
01:46:59.000The mainstream conservative has changed.
01:47:00.000It's no longer a bunch of bow-tied virgins pitching their cruises.
01:47:04.000No, look, right now, conservative is essentialism and democrat is constructivism.
01:49:29.000On December 22, 2015, I got kicked off as my last CNN.
01:49:33.000I was the conservative guy, and I was not a Trump supporter at that time.
01:49:39.000And they called me on one day, last minute, and I did it Skype from my office.
01:49:43.000and 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.
01:50:18.000But that's the greatest outrage in the history of outrages!
01:50:21.000And 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.
01:50:35.000Oh, there's a lot more than that with the woman who accused Bill Clinton.
01:50:37.000Oh, yeah, but I just said that I did the humidor thing and he said you can't say that.
01:50:43.000So I said it again because I'll be damned if that little weirdo is going to tell me anything.
01:51:11.000Let'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.
01:51:26.000Congratulations Yeah, I think what happens for a lot of younger people is that they're consistently pushed to the left.
01:51:37.000There's absolutely an ideological push to make the kids become more and more leftist.
01:51:41.000But I think you end up with an age group of like late 20s that assume young people are further left.
01:51:48.000And so these assumptions drive them to try and market and sell products to kids that are further and further left.
01:51:54.000But a better way to put it is probably it's a corruption of what they saw when they were kids.
01:51:59.000When I was a kid, we had family-friendly messaging on kids' shows.
01:52:03.000We had shows where it was like, don't be mean to your neighbors and don't be racist.
01:52:07.000And 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.
01:52:15.000It's like, that's what I was told when I was a kid.
01:52:17.000And you're like, What are you, are you nuts?
01:53:14.000But 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.
01:54:02.000You should consult an employment attorney in your jurisdiction to find out your rights.
01:54:06.000Interestingly, there are many states that pass laws to protect communists, which essentially prevent them from being biased against people's political viewpoints.
01:55:18.000Alright, 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.
01:55:26.000Next thing you know, I'm running around Compton with an M16.
01:56:06.000Love what you do, and I'm jealous of your skating skills.
01:56:09.000Now, 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.
01:56:45.000Maybe 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.
01:58:13.000Next Generation was about the philosophical consequences of technological advancement and meeting new civilizations.
01:58:18.000And Star Trek itself was always kind of like that.
01:58:21.000They would meet a new civilization that had different cultural norms and structures and then, like, explore and navigate.
01:58:27.000it 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.
02:00:07.000I wanna make some 360 desks where you can spin around, like...
02:00:11.000Hey, 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?
02:00:52.000Archangel978 says, Now, I gotta stop you right there.
02:01:01.000I think we've only mentioned The Four Lights maybe a total of five times in the past year.
02:01:06.000And 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.
02:01:15.000But, 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.
02:02:38.000If 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.
