Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Sam Bankman-Fried GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS, Democrat Donor, FTX Founder w-Josh Smith

00:00:03.000 As we're preparing to publish this show, we got breaking news.

00:00:07.000 FTX founder Sam Bankman-Freed has been found guilty on all charges, including multiple counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering.

00:00:14.000 It's kind of funny, he's a big Democrat donor.

00:00:17.000 And there was also talk about, wasn't he the guy who was like offering Trump Hypothetically?

00:00:22.000 Billions of dollars not to run for president was at him hypothetically. Yeah, I bet it was that was that was what

00:00:27.000 was going It was never confirmed, but people were saying hey he might

00:00:30.000 have offered like how much would you like it to not run for president?

00:00:32.000 I think there's a bunch of people that were close to him that actually said that he it was he was offering that

00:00:37.000 something Okay, so this is breaking news right now

00:00:40.000 The other story we were planning on leading off with is that a judge in Connecticut overturned a Democrat primary after video emerged of ballot stuffing.

00:00:51.000 And the interesting thing about this is that it's not a victory.

00:00:54.000 The general election is still happening, and it is presumed that the candidate who should not be the candidate on the ballot is still going to win.

00:01:01.000 So this is a really, really interesting story.

00:01:03.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:04.000 Plus, the invasion in Gaza is interesting.

00:01:09.000 We had on the show someone talk about the strategy that Israel would take in Gaza if they were to invade, and that would be to bifurcate the Gaza Strip.

00:01:17.000 I think it might have been Max Blumenthal, but this is exactly what Israel is doing right now, so we'll talk about that. 0.93

00:01:21.000 We got a bunch of other stories.

00:01:23.000 The House passed a bill for Israel funding, but no Ukraine funding.

00:01:28.000 And they're saying it's gonna be dead in the Senate now because of that, but I think it's hilarious that Ukraine's basically been cut off.

00:01:33.000 Poor Zelensky.

00:03:40.000 Anyway, speaking of Sam Bankman-Freed... Here's the big breaking news!

00:03:43.000 As of 7.51pm CNBC, Sam Bankman-Freed found guilty on all seven criminal fraud counts.

00:03:50.000 The month-long trial of Sam Bankman-Freed wrapped on Thursday.

00:03:54.000 Uh, I say a jury has found him guilty on all seven criminal, uh, criminal counts.

00:03:57.000 The former FTX CEO faces a maximum sentence of 115 years in prison.

00:04:01.000 Bankman freed the 31-year-old son, 31-year-old son of two Stanford legal scholars and graduate of MIT has pleaded, had pleaded not guilty to charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, etc, etc, etc.

00:04:11.000 We get all that stuff.

00:04:13.000 The trial ended, blah, blah, blah.

00:04:14.000 We get it.

00:04:14.000 Okay, alright, alright.

00:04:15.000 All this, this is just like the, the bits and bobs we don't care about.

00:04:20.000 What was he doing?

00:04:20.000 Who was this guy?

00:04:21.000 He was a big Democrat donor.

00:04:23.000 Yeah.

00:04:23.000 And there's a lot of speculation that he was basically using these schemes to help fund Democrat politicians.

00:04:29.000 Yeah, he donated to over 300 political campaigns and directly to the DNC.

00:04:33.000 There's another big conspiracy theory that the money that was going through Ukraine was coming back through him to the DNC.

00:04:39.000 That was the big conspiracy theory.

00:04:40.000 I don't know if it's been proven yet or not, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

00:04:45.000 Yeah, I can't remember what that was.

00:04:46.000 It's been so long.

00:04:48.000 We're seriously getting ready for this show and we're like, oh, look at this big voter cheating story.

00:04:53.000 And then, boom, breaking news, Bankman Freed is found guilty on all counts.

00:04:58.000 But it is a fact that he was this big Democrat donor.

00:05:02.000 The money he was making What was he like?

00:05:04.000 He wasn't that well off.

00:05:05.000 And then he started FTX and all of a sudden he skyrocketed in net worth and capital.

00:05:09.000 Yeah, billions.

00:05:09.000 Billions.

00:05:10.000 And then he immediately starts funding a bunch of Democrat politicians.

00:05:14.000 Now I'll just, I'll be nice.

00:05:15.000 I shouldn't be, but I'll be nice.

00:05:16.000 That doesn't implicate any of these politicians, but it certainly shows that the people, at least some of the most powerful people, here it is, who are funding these politicians are criminals who are using dirty methods of funding these politicians.

00:05:29.000 And then I've got questions about how ActBlue operates.

00:05:31.000 James O'Keefe with the OMG Media Group did a big story about, and it's coming from

00:05:37.000 them, that money from China was flowing through Actablew.

00:05:39.000 So I got a lot of questions about what these people are up to.

00:05:43.000 That wouldn't surprise me either.

00:05:44.000 I'd gladly trade SBF for Ross Ulbricht today to the federal prison.

00:05:49.000 We should get Ross out there.

00:05:51.000 He created an e-commerce website.

00:05:53.000 Did he though?

00:05:54.000 Did he actually create it?

00:05:56.000 I mean, maybe.

00:05:58.000 people who don't aren't familiar the he's the Dread Pirate Roberts

00:05:58.000 Joe Rhoad, for people who aren't familiar, he's the Dread Pirate Roberts.

00:06:02.000 Well, they say that but he did Yeah, I mean he was the creator of Silk Road, but he they

00:06:03.000 Well, yeah, they say that.

00:06:04.000 But he was the creator of Silk Road.

00:06:07.000 don't know if he was there was several Dread Pirate Roberts But they don't know if he was the one that had to do with

00:06:13.000 the murder for hire stuff They just brought it up in court dragged him through the

00:06:16.000 mud and then dropped all those charges and then put him in the prison

00:06:19.000 For two and a half life sentences, right? This is the Silk Road 0.58

00:06:21.000 this is where people were buying and trading a bunch of stuff whether it was legal or not and

00:06:24.000 The username was Dread Pirate Roberts. So one of them. Yeah, one of them the argument was

00:06:29.000 He makes this or someone made it and they pass it off to someone else and they just share this name

00:06:37.000 You guys have seen The Princess Bride.

00:06:39.000 Oh, yeah.

00:06:39.000 The truth is, I am not the Dread Pirate Robots.

00:06:41.000 Yes, exactly.

00:06:41.000 The real Dread Pirate Robots died years ago.

00:06:43.000 It was really genius.

00:06:44.000 I mean, if you think about it, the way they ran that, but he's in prison for two and a half life sentences for an e-commerce website and nothing more, really.

00:06:52.000 I mean, that's basically what it was.

00:06:53.000 Tucker Carlson went to meet Julian Assange.

00:06:56.000 You see that?

00:06:56.000 I did see that.

00:06:57.000 I have not watched- I mean, the episode hasn't come out yet, but yeah, I saw that he went to meet with him.

00:07:00.000 But I don't know if they're filming anything.

00:07:02.000 I don't know if he's able to film in prison.

00:07:03.000 He should.

00:07:04.000 God, I hope they let him.

00:07:05.000 Yeah.

00:07:06.000 That'd be interesting.

00:07:07.000 But either way, I'm curious if y'all think this is a blip.

00:07:11.000 This guy getting caught, getting busted, or I think this may be a component that we've seen of the faltering of the neo-corporate, liberal, neocon, neolib establishment.

00:07:22.000 Its schemes are failing.

00:07:25.000 Some people like to say since Epstein got taken down, it started to look like it's unraveling, perhaps?

00:07:30.000 I don't know.

00:07:31.000 Maybe this was their attempt at creating some kind of alternate, creepy, international funding scheme?

00:07:37.000 No idea.

00:07:38.000 But, when you see stories like this, it certainly is a grain of sand, at least, in the heap of all of these, like, Surreptitious plans and like shady deals they used to do are getting exposed every day.

00:07:49.000 I mean you look at the Biden stuff.

00:07:51.000 They're now saying $40,000 went to Joe or something like that.

00:07:55.000 You know like more money is being found traced to him.

00:07:57.000 I kind of feel good about it.

00:07:59.000 I don't know.

00:07:59.000 What do you think?

00:08:00.000 I definitely think that this is just one of many.

00:08:03.000 I don't think this is the only instance like this and you know, these people absolutely hate us and want to sick and tired and dead mostly.

00:08:11.000 No, but I mean these are the people that are funding them.

00:08:13.000 I think it's probably going to be, if the mainstream media can, they'll spin it to be like, this is why you should fear crypto.

00:08:19.000 This is what the issue is.

00:08:21.000 Never trust crypto.

00:08:21.000 Don't look for alternative currency.

00:08:23.000 People who push alternative currencies are, you know, scamming you or whatever else.

00:08:27.000 They'll try to avoid the fact that he was ultimately in the camp of the DNC.

00:08:31.000 And that's what I am concerned about.

00:08:32.000 They're only going to break the altcoins because the Bitcoin community is way too strong.

00:08:36.000 Yeah, but what he was doing is running an exchange.

00:08:39.000 The cryptos themselves are legit.

00:08:40.000 Some of them are extremely legit.

00:08:41.000 I believe that, but I think the average American is not so well-versed in crypto to understand the differences.

00:08:47.000 So we've got to get them more well-versed.

00:08:49.000 Yeah, I think that's great, but people are now racing the mainstream media who's trying to protect the DNC.

00:08:54.000 Right?

00:08:54.000 They're going to say, no, no, it's not that he was taking money from Democrats or trying to influence anything political.

00:08:59.000 It's this technology that you're scared of.

00:09:01.000 And I say that as a full-on technophobe, right?

00:09:03.000 If you are afraid of crypto, you don't really understand the difference between an exchange and the coins and all currency or whatever else, you're going to say, this guy scammed a lot of people and the mainstream media says that I can't trust them.

00:09:14.000 And that's what they want you to believe.

00:09:16.000 They don't want you to make the political connection.

00:09:18.000 Well then we need to be ready with the counter-narrative that that's fine, just Bitcoin's much safer.

00:09:23.000 They can't stop crypto.

00:09:24.000 They can't stop crypto because too many people are just sitting there waiting for their get-rich-quick scheme because they don't quite understand how it works.

00:09:32.000 But I think, you know, when I talk to regular people who don't get it, the only thing the average person, I like, When I talk to regular people, I typically hear, first and foremost, do you think it's gonna go up?

00:09:45.000 Because everybody remembers when it jumps to like 20k and people got rich overnight.

00:09:52.000 Everybody remembers when it jumped to 60k and people got rich overnight.

00:09:55.000 And everybody is just waiting for that opportunity to jump on the next wave.

00:10:00.000 And then it goes back down.

00:10:01.000 I mean, it went to like 60 and went down to what, like 17?

00:10:03.000 Yeah, but zoom out.

00:10:04.000 It's never actually gone down.

00:10:06.000 I mean, it's had a pullback.

00:10:07.000 It's like kaboom, spike, spike, spike.

00:10:09.000 Well, it's because of the way Bitcoin operates.

00:10:11.000 I think we're due for a halving soon, aren't we?

00:10:14.000 I'm not sure.

00:10:14.000 I heard that last week.

00:10:16.000 I mean, it's scheduled.

00:10:17.000 I just don't track the schedule.

00:10:19.000 Is it next April or something?

00:10:20.000 Something like that.

00:10:21.000 And I'm not going to pretend to know what that means.

00:10:25.000 But a lot of people are like, oh, boy, get ready, because basically what this means is The super simple, not, I don't run a Bitcoin company, but the super simple version is the amount of energy to produce, the amount of energy required per Bitcoin is going to double.

00:10:42.000 Yeah, the block rewards are cut in half, basically.

00:10:45.000 And that means if it costs, let's just do dry units.

00:10:48.000 100 units of energy to create one Bitcoin, after it's cut in half, it's gonna be 200 units of energy for one Bitcoin, meaning your costs will double, And you're going to have to charge more.

00:10:59.000 No one's going to want to sell.

00:11:00.000 Like for this reason, that's basically forcing the prices to go up.

00:11:02.000 Not to mention, it's the attrition of Bitcoin itself.

00:11:06.000 Yeah, specifically in April 2024, the block rewards will decrease from 6.25 to 3.125.

00:11:11.000 What was this?

00:11:14.000 Max Keiser offered Alex Jones 10,000 Bitcoins last week or whatever?

00:11:18.000 Did you see the Twitter of him going, we're not selling!

00:11:20.000 I was like screaming on stage.

00:11:21.000 We're not selling!

00:11:23.000 But wait, wait, wait.

00:11:25.000 So the story is, Max offered Alex Jones 10,000 bitcoins, 300-something million dollars by today's standard, and Alex didn't care and lost it or something, said whatever.

00:11:36.000 And then Max told him, I'll give you another 10,000 if you can answer five Bitcoin questions, and Alex couldn't do it.

00:11:42.000 And apparently they were not complicated questions, but they're questions like, basically, if you're in Bitcoin, you knew, and he offered him $300 million.

00:11:51.000 Well, that's not even enough to cover half of his fines, unfortunately.

00:11:54.000 No, but a third! 0.51

00:11:55.000 Yeah, that's the funny thing.

00:11:56.000 If he actually gave him the crypto, it would be gone in two seconds because the government sees it.

00:12:00.000 By the way, I did a show with Chase Geiser this morning.

00:12:02.000 I love Chase.

00:12:03.000 He's a good friend.

00:12:04.000 InfoWars.

00:12:05.000 That's what made me think about it earlier.

00:12:06.000 Check it out.

00:12:08.000 Also when you're wondering is crypto gonna go up you also got to ask yourself is the US dollar gonna go down Yeah, because it's they're inversely proportionate We really need to be we need to get out of this like is it gonna go up and down?

00:12:17.000 Like narrative and I'm not in that we got it.

00:12:19.000 We got to figure out a way to like Pass this this dream of mass adoption because it's gonna be so important if we ever look if the the central banking system ever fails And it's not about when it's about if I believe that it will eventually know you mean if it's when Yeah, that's what I meant.

00:12:33.000 Yeah, that's what I meant.

00:12:34.000 I mixed that up.

00:12:34.000 But yeah, absolutely.

00:12:35.000 When it happens, you know, if you're on something that already has a framework worked out, you're going to feel a lot less blood than the normal person who has no other.

00:12:42.000 I could see Amazon Jeff Bezos just being like, now you can pay with Bitcoin.

00:12:46.000 I could see something like that happening.

00:12:48.000 That's a part of mass adoption.

00:12:49.000 And the more people that accept Bitcoin, the closer we get to that mass adoption.

00:12:54.000 The more that people start buying Bitcoin, the more Bitcoin stabilizes, and you stop seeing these price fluctuations.

00:13:00.000 The big pullbacks and stuff like that.

00:13:02.000 And people got to start thinking about it as what it is.

00:13:04.000 It's a unit of money.

00:13:07.000 When you can start making purchases with it, it's... El Salvador!

00:13:11.000 Yeah, and people in Salvador are doing great things.

00:13:13.000 I mean, the economy's been pretty well off since they've done that.

00:13:15.000 Well, it gets me, though.

00:13:16.000 If you look at the entire crypto market, all of them, according to CoinMarketCap.com, the entire market's $1.3 trillion.

00:13:23.000 That's like nothing compared to the U.S.

00:13:24.000 The U.S.

00:13:25.000 could print that up and buy it all.

00:13:27.000 It's just a matter of finding it.

00:13:28.000 But, like, it doesn't seem stable to me that it's that little and it could be that moved around by the global governments.

00:13:33.000 Why do you disagree?

00:13:34.000 I just, I don't think that they will.

00:13:36.000 I don't, I think that they want, they want full control over the blockchain, right?

00:13:40.000 And so that's why they're going to push CBDCs because those, they'll have the opportunity to shut down your money on the spot.

00:13:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:46.000 They could take, if you said the wrong thing on the internet, they could shut down your money.

00:13:49.000 Boom.

00:13:49.000 They want that kind of control.

00:13:50.000 They don't have that kind of control with Bitcoin.

00:13:52.000 Yeah, but they could easily get it.

00:13:54.000 I disagree.

00:13:55.000 I just don't think that I don't think I don't think I don't think they care enough about it to do that I think that they want to find a way to tax it, but there's also other there's other ways to have anonymous Bitcoin exchange as well You know like level two and and lightning network and stuff like that too.

00:14:09.000 It's becoming more anonymous It's not it's not becoming more like government friendly as we as time goes on the issue is once there is Look, it's really this simple.

00:14:19.000 New York City says, if you accept Bitcoin from our banned list, then we are going to fine you $10,000 a day.

00:14:26.000 And we already saw what happened with masks.

00:14:28.000 They will all immediately bend the knee.

00:14:30.000 So you can't stop someone from having Bitcoin, sure, but government can stop you from being able to use it.

00:14:35.000 But Miami actually is encouraging it.

00:14:37.000 And what they'll do is, if they really want to ban you, they will issue a mandate to all terminals At stores, these addresses are on the ban list.

00:14:47.000 And they'll argue, these are terrorists and criminals, and if you facilitate through these... So, what'll happen then is, smaller level businesses will say, can we get something that will instantly add these addresses to our terminals?

00:14:59.000 Because we can't track all this.

00:15:01.000 Then a company will be like, we're terminal safe.

00:15:03.000 Make sure you're not funding terrorism.

00:15:05.000 Upload our government approved, you know, ban list, and you're only banning people who are terrorists.

00:15:10.000 And then, Well, that's also why we need like government officials that are gonna like ban chainalysis and and like, you know Bitcoin trackers and stuff that the federal government is now The federal government will absolutely The decentralized revolution is gonna eventually find a way around it whether whether it's a new kind of web development or something It's gonna come along that will

00:15:32.000 I feel like people make this mistake with a lot of things.

00:15:36.000 Politics and technology are not as relevant as culture and morals.

00:15:39.000 And so, when you look at everything in this country that people are complaining about, I'm like, yeah, our culture has completely decayed.

00:15:46.000 Our morals are gone.

00:15:47.000 And you've got people who are willing to lie, cheat, and steal to take whatever they want because they don't care.

00:15:51.000 I want to save a little bit of this for later because I was watching some of the trial of the Minnesota Trump hearing on the 14th amendment.

00:16:01.000 We know what's going to happen with this.

00:16:03.000 The judges don't care what's right, they care about winning for their ideology.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, they're partisan now.

00:16:10.000 Right, I'm like, nothing, your technology doesn't matter, okay?

00:16:14.000 The guy with the, unless it's a civil war.

00:16:16.000 New York City.

00:16:18.000 We'll simply say, in a mandate, if you accept from these Bitcoin addresses, we will fine you $10,000.

00:16:24.000 And every business will drop to their knees and beg, deady government, please make it easy for us to not accidentally facilitate these transactions.

00:16:33.000 But if you did that, the person could send their Bitcoin from that address to a different address.

00:16:38.000 And all they have to do is say, Any Bitcoin that transfers from this edge to the next is now persona non grata.

00:16:47.000 And then you're going to be like, dude, are you on the list?

00:16:49.000 Don't screw my Bitcoin, bro. 0.59

00:16:51.000 I can't trade with you. 0.99

00:16:52.000 That would be like shooting yourself in the foot.

00:16:55.000 If an economy did that to themselves, they'd be like...

00:16:57.000 They'd be in the dust.

00:16:58.000 They are trying to push for stuff like that currently.

00:17:00.000 It's a legit thing that's going on right now.

00:17:02.000 I guarantee you, by today's standards, with AI and machine learning, they can easily create algorithms tracking active blockchain transactions.

00:17:11.000 They know who you are.

00:17:13.000 They know what you're buying.

00:17:14.000 And even if you create a new wallet, they will know because they're spying on your phone.

00:17:19.000 They're going to know if the addresses are being operated from the same device, where the transactions are.

00:17:24.000 They're going to know it's you.

00:17:25.000 Yeah, but you can get around that, too.

00:17:26.000 You can get around the device stuff.

00:17:27.000 You can use Tor and all kinds of different stuff, too.

00:17:29.000 You are not going to be able to beat an AI.

00:17:31.000 You will- You are not going to walk into a McDonald's and be like, heh, my burner phone's gonna beat the AI.

00:17:37.000 It's gonna go, bam!

00:17:38.000 And you're gonna go, what?

00:17:39.000 Why isn't it working?

00:17:40.000 I just bought a burner phone and put money- Because they tracked- They're tracking you.

00:17:43.000 Put your phone in the freezer, put it under running water, ditch it.

00:17:46.000 There's cameras everywhere.

00:17:47.000 I mean, you look at these Amazon stores.

00:17:49.000 My point is, it is possible that we find a way to overcome this.

00:17:54.000 I'm just saying... Well, they're actively working on ways to overcome it now.

00:17:57.000 I mean, that's, you know, the Lightning Network was part of that, so... There needs to be a cultural shift in what we are willing to accept and tolerate right now, because humans absolutely, Americans especially, tolerate being spied on, and we are walking, we are zombie walking into social credit scores.

00:18:14.000 Sure, I don't disagree with you at all.

00:18:16.000 I absolutely 100% think that America is headed towards social credit scores.

00:18:19.000 And I think they're going to market it to something that's good for you, right?

00:18:22.000 It's convenient.

00:18:22.000 Of course.

00:18:23.000 I think about that, this girl on Instagram, Chip Girl, and she's got like whatever in her hand and she can pay for stuff. 1.00

00:18:28.000 And this is her whole social media influencer, you know, I'm sure she talks about other things.

00:18:32.000 The fact that she is chipped is a big deal, and it becomes glamorous, right? 1.00

00:18:35.000 She's also constantly showing off her luxury goods, etc, etc. 0.50

00:18:38.000 It's gonna be part of the CBDCs, though.

00:18:40.000 It's all gonna come down to that CBDC.

00:18:41.000 Chipping is not gonna be a thing, at least for now.

00:18:43.000 And the reason is rejection.

00:18:45.000 So, when you put a chip under your skin... They can reject it.

00:18:48.000 Yeah, people can reject it.

00:18:49.000 And so that's not foolproof.

00:18:50.000 Some people will be fine, some people will not be fine.

00:18:53.000 It'll be part of your CBDC wallet.

00:18:55.000 What I mean is that they'll market social credit store as like, well, it's so convenient for you.

00:19:00.000 Look, it's easier and faster to do things.

00:19:02.000 I think people won't see it coming because it'll be misrepresented to them for what it is.

00:19:06.000 Right.

00:19:06.000 Sure.

00:19:07.000 My theory is that what happens is we're going to have a financial crisis.

00:19:10.000 We're gonna have a banking collapse.

00:19:12.000 Maybe only 20% of the U.S.

00:19:14.000 banks collapse.

00:19:15.000 That's a huge percentage.

00:19:17.000 It is.

00:19:18.000 It's a huge percentage.

00:19:18.000 But it's not 100.

00:19:19.000 No.

00:19:19.000 It's not 30.

00:19:20.000 It's gonna be at least 20 for sure.

00:19:22.000 20%.

00:19:22.000 There's no doubt.

00:19:22.000 And then what happens?

00:19:23.000 Let's say you're... Give me a bank that's not too big, but big enough.

00:19:28.000 Oof, I don't know.

00:19:29.000 It's tough, right?

00:19:29.000 I mean, let's do... We're out here.

00:19:31.000 They're so big now.

00:19:32.000 What do we got?

00:19:33.000 PNC.

00:19:33.000 PNC, sure.

00:19:34.000 PNC, I see them in PA.

00:19:35.000 A little bit smaller, but they're still kind of big.

00:19:38.000 A bank like that fails.

00:19:39.000 And then what happens is everybody who's got this account says, my business.

00:19:44.000 The payroll for my employees.

00:19:46.000 Right.

00:19:46.000 Look, my business, we had $500,000 in the account.

00:19:49.000 I gotta pay my wait, my server staff.

00:19:51.000 I gotta buy new pizza rolls.

00:19:53.000 What am I gonna do?

00:19:54.000 My bank account's gone.

00:19:55.000 Federal government immediately snaps their fingers.

00:19:57.000 Within a couple days, they say, we are bailing out the American people.

00:20:02.000 This is not about big business.

00:20:04.000 This bank went under, we're mad, but we are going to insure all of the money for all of these people, 100%.

00:20:10.000 Not up to $250,000 like FDIC says, we're going to insure all of it.

00:20:15.000 Rest assured, small business, you will pay your employees tomorrow.

00:20:18.000 Simply download CBDC app at GooglePlay.com and download FedDollar.

00:20:23.000 And they're gonna say, in order to get access to your account, input your social security number, your account number, and your information into CBDC app, and you will get the US dollar equivalent of FedCoin.

00:20:34.000 I'll tell you right now, if CBDCs had already been a thing during the COVID crisis, the passports would have been a thing.

00:20:42.000 Let me slow down for everybody.

00:20:43.000 Central Bank Digital Currency.

00:20:45.000 Yes, correct.

00:20:45.000 Because I know a lot of people are like, CBDC, we're going too fast.

00:20:48.000 You're in the jargon now.

00:20:49.000 Central Bank Digital Currency.

00:20:50.000 The idea is Bitcoin is decentralized.

00:20:54.000 And everything I explained about how they'll try to take it over is what they'll have to try to do.

00:20:59.000 If the federal government or the Fed can launch a central bank digital currency like FedCoin, they will have instant access and control to everything.

00:21:10.000 And then you get social credit scores.

00:21:11.000 But they don't need to tell you they're rolling out social credit scores.

00:21:15.000 They will just exist.

00:21:17.000 You'll get a notification on your app, and it will be like, we're concerned about some activity on your external profiles.

00:21:23.000 They've already introduced the idea of off-platform behavior.

00:21:27.000 All your healthcare stuff's gonna be on there, too.

00:21:29.000 I mean, that's the scary part.

00:21:31.000 You'll have no more privacy.

00:21:32.000 It just sounds like they're setting up for a black market if they try and do stuff like that.

00:21:36.000 People get pissed off.

00:21:36.000 They don't want a pissed-off population right now.

00:21:39.000 But a black market doesn't matter, okay? 1.00

00:21:41.000 Like, you know, Seamus makes this point about abortion when the left says, yeah, but if you ban abortion, there'll be black market abortions.

00:21:46.000 And he was right.

00:21:47.000 And most of it will still be illegal, and that will stop most of it.

00:21:49.000 Great.

00:21:49.000 There's always gonna be illegal activity.

00:21:52.000 So, the concerning thing, I suppose, You're gonna have this app, and we've already seen on Twitter and Facebook and YouTube, you can be banned for what they call off-platform behavior.

00:22:03.000 Right, yep.

00:22:04.000 The CBDC app is gonna have terms and conditions, and it's gonna say, you agree that if you use this app, you can't do these things, and the people who are in a crisis, whose bank accounts have been, you know, have collapsed and are gone, they're gonna sign anything.

00:22:17.000 Yeah.

00:22:18.000 Well, what do you do?

00:22:19.000 They erased your business overnight?

00:22:20.000 Oh no!

00:22:21.000 And it's no one's fault!

00:22:22.000 The bank just failed!

00:22:22.000 Do you remember PayPal trying to do that?

00:22:24.000 Trying to fine people for off-platform behavior?

00:22:28.000 Yes!

00:22:29.000 They tried to fine them!

00:22:30.000 And instead they just ban people who do stuff they don't like.

00:22:35.000 They have this provision on PayPal.

00:22:37.000 It's $2,500 for some kind of hate speech provision.

00:22:39.000 They will fine you.

00:22:40.000 They'll fine you?

00:22:41.000 For saying naughty words!

00:22:42.000 Not just like not take your money.

00:22:44.000 I mean, they will fine you.

00:22:45.000 They will give you a fine.

00:22:46.000 If you have no money in your PayPal, you will be negative $2,500.

00:22:49.000 So the crisis scenario is scary.

00:22:51.000 But how about the tax benefit scenario where they say, we're rolling out a federal banking app?

00:22:58.000 They're going to say something like, these predatory lending companies and banks are charging an arm and a leg.

00:23:04.000 Why is it that if you're poor, the bank charges you money?

00:23:08.000 You look at your bank account, you've only got 25 bucks.

00:23:11.000 The next day you look at negative 15, they charged you for that because you didn't have enough in your account.

00:23:15.000 Now you're negative.

00:23:15.000 Now you owe them money.

00:23:17.000 But if you're rich, they pay you.

00:23:18.000 That is unfair.

00:23:19.000 The post office will be opening holdings accounts for all... Yes, right.

00:23:24.000 For all Americans, download the post office app.

00:23:26.000 It is a no-fee...

00:23:28.000 Bank account for you, the American people, with interest rates.

00:23:33.000 No more overdraft charges.

00:23:35.000 Now you've got a federal government banking system.

00:23:37.000 You download the app.

00:23:38.000 You agree to their terms of service.

00:23:40.000 Don't say naughty words.

00:23:41.000 And they're monitoring every single transaction I make.

00:23:43.000 Every single thing you buy.

00:23:45.000 Let's jump to the story.

00:23:46.000 We'll jump into the news here.

00:23:48.000 As we're talking about, you know, Sam Bankman freed and political corruption.

00:23:53.000 This is a big story that broke yesterday.

00:23:55.000 Connecticut judge overturns results of mayoral primary just days before election.

00:24:00.000 Why?

00:24:00.000 Because they got evidence on camera of a Democrat ballot stuffing.

00:24:06.000 Wednesday's ruling is the latest twist in an election centering on allegations of absentee ballot abuse.

00:24:11.000 The election captured widespread public attention after a video surfaced online, appearing to show a supporter of incumbent Mayor Joe Gannon stuffing stacks of papers into an absentee ballot dropbox.

00:24:21.000 I wonder if, uh... I think we have the, uh... There's a video of it.

00:24:24.000 Yeah, there's a video.

00:24:25.000 So, uh, this is an image.

00:24:27.000 These are the people that govern you, by the way.

00:24:29.000 You know, these news outlets, they really do not want to play the video.

00:24:31.000 You gotta get the video on Twitter.

00:24:33.000 I'll pull it up in a second.

00:24:34.000 But, uh, here's what's interesting.

00:24:36.000 They're not stopping the election.

00:24:37.000 No.

00:24:38.000 This guy won the primary.

00:24:40.000 They've now overturned the primary.

00:24:41.000 Doesn't matter, he's still on the ballots.

00:24:43.000 The general election is about to happen.

00:24:44.000 It's presumed he's going to win.

00:24:46.000 And they speculate that when he does, this will end any challenge to the primary.

00:24:50.000 Well, with electioneering it like that, how could you lose?

00:24:53.000 You know, it's just crazy.

00:24:55.000 I suppose the answer is you can't.

00:24:57.000 Exactly.

00:24:58.000 That's that's the game boys.

00:25:00.000 That's what they do.

00:25:01.000 They want sorry.

00:25:02.000 I just I just think about like every time they're like this doesn't happen. 0.99

00:25:06.000 This is something that Republicans made up because there's they're just crazy. 0.94

00:25:10.000 They're sad.

00:25:11.000 They lost or whatever else and then there's this video of this woman doing exactly a thing that people fear and believe happens in their elections. 1.00

00:25:17.000 Well, my favorite narrative is like everyone when Joe Biden got elected and everyone's like, oh, it was totally above board.

00:25:23.000 That stuff never happens.

00:25:24.000 And I'm like, you're the same people that were doing this when Trump won, when Bush won your talk.

00:25:28.000 Everyone's talking about the voting machines when Bush won.

00:25:31.000 I mean, you've been doing this for for decades.

00:25:33.000 And now all of a sudden they're above board entirely.

00:25:35.000 There's no election interference.

00:25:37.000 All right.

00:25:37.000 I found the video.

00:25:38.000 It's not even easy to find this video.

00:25:39.000 Here you go.

00:25:40.000 Here's the video that allegedly is of a Democrat ballot stuffing.

00:25:45.000 Who is she? 0.99

00:25:47.000 Um, we'll pull up the name from the article in a second.

00:25:50.000 And they have several videos of her doing it.

00:25:52.000 Yeah.

00:25:53.000 Right, right.

00:25:54.000 This is a minute and 53 seconds long.

00:25:55.000 Yeah.

00:25:56.000 So, uh, let's jump.

00:25:57.000 Oh, they said that she came back several times.

00:25:59.000 Yep.

00:26:00.000 Drop number two. 0.94

00:26:01.000 And how many ballot boxes are they?

00:26:04.000 What's her name?

00:26:04.000 They got, they got her name in here too, I think.

00:26:08.000 Here she goes again. 0.86

00:26:09.000 This is, uh, Wanda.

00:26:12.000 Wanda.

00:26:13.000 That's all we get, I guess.

00:26:16.000 I think we should say her full name so people know.

00:26:19.000 So here's the crazy thing.

00:26:20.000 Let me see if it's in this article.

00:26:22.000 Is it?

00:26:25.000 They don't have it.

00:26:27.000 No, they don't have her name in the article.

00:26:28.000 Here's the thing people need to understand.

00:26:31.000 When Donald Trump and his supporters were suing over stories like this, it is a lie that they were all thrown out.

00:26:38.000 Right.

00:26:39.000 Of the majority... I think the majority of the cases were thrown out on standing, arguing the individuals who filed the suits did not have a... they were not affected.

00:26:51.000 In this case, therefore, they had no legal right to sue.

00:26:53.000 It had nothing to do with the contents of the lawsuit at all.

00:26:55.000 Which is insane.

00:26:56.000 Any voter, any citizen in this country has standing, in my opinion.

00:27:00.000 Of the cases, I think there were 30 that were ruled on the merits.

00:27:04.000 22 were found to be in favor of Trump.

00:27:08.000 However, because in each of these individual cases, either the number of ballots or some other issues, for instance, one example is the number of ballots did not equal a large enough number to have changed the election.

00:27:20.000 It was ruled moot.

00:27:21.000 Right.

00:27:21.000 It doesn't matter if we win for you anyway, because you still lost the election.

00:27:24.000 But it doesn't mean there was no electioneering going on.

00:27:26.000 There was certainly fraud.

00:27:27.000 Bill Barr said there was fraud.

00:27:29.000 The question is, was there enough to overturn the election?

00:27:31.000 The courts said, look, yes, you found 300 ballots in fraud, but there's a 7,000 margin here, so what's the point of this?

00:27:39.000 Because these courts do not take action on those, it keeps happening.

00:27:44.000 And then what happens when you get 15 judges in one state, and you get 15 instances where it's 100 votes, or I'll say 1,000, And the margin 7,000.

00:27:54.000 And now there's 15,000 fraudulent ballots confirmed by courts, but because each individual judge looks at one small individual case, they dismiss all of them.

00:28:05.000 I don't think that is the case for the most part when it came to Trump.

00:28:09.000 My point is, on a granular level, we can see directly local elections are easily, easily flipped.

00:28:18.000 With one person doing something like this.

00:28:20.000 And this is Democrat v. Democrat.

00:28:21.000 This is a Democratic primary in a blue state, and they are still stuffing boxes.

00:28:25.000 It's the only reason we're hearing about it.

00:28:27.000 I know, but that's what's interesting.

00:28:29.000 This is the thing that when it happens, when conservatives or Republicans or third-party candidates say, hey, we were in some ways, there was fraud in our elections.

00:28:37.000 It's typically left-leaning candidates and left-leaning supporters who are like, no, it never happens.

00:28:40.000 But it happens in their own primaries.

00:28:43.000 How can they argue against this?

00:28:44.000 I promise you it's not the third parties doing it.

00:28:46.000 So I just want everyone to know.

00:28:47.000 Everyone knows the Libertarians are the ones secretly rigging the election for Democrats.

00:28:52.000 We're the ones rigging it for the Democrats.

00:28:55.000 And the funny thing is, the Democrats should be just as worried about it, not just because it's happening in their own primary, but because maybe Republicans in small towns are doing it too.

00:29:02.000 Everybody should be worried about this.

00:29:03.000 There's no chance that this is an isolated event.

00:29:07.000 We know that.

00:29:08.000 And everyone should wake up and be worried about these things.

00:29:11.000 One of my favorite things in elections, every four years, you'll get conservatives being like, If these Libertarians just voted for the Republican Party, then we would have won!

00:29:21.000 And I'm like, my guy, the Libertarians don't like you.

00:29:24.000 Yeah, we don't like you at all.

00:29:25.000 Libertarians are like, if Republicans just voted for us, we would just win.

00:29:28.000 If you guys are just not voting for this like deeply entrenched corrupt party that you'd have a better chance of changing

00:29:33.000 the NYPD By yourself than you would have getting like, you know

00:29:36.000 700 people together and trying to change the Republican Party at a federal level least the

00:29:40.000 Republicans a state and local can do stuff like my governor and I was been great on a lot of things, you know

00:29:45.000 But like this, you know There's a lot of little small like positions that the

00:29:49.000 libertarians can win and do when we win 200 Election cycle or something like that. Do you feel like the

00:29:54.000 Libertarian Party?

00:29:55.000 Focus is not enough on the small I've heard this argued before that

00:29:58.000 It often is like trying to be at the top of the ticket when really they should focus on capturing key positions

00:30:03.000 Our biggest problems is resources. I mean with the national the National Party runs on like 1.7 million dollars a year

00:30:08.000 They can't help a presidential candidate almost at all presidential candidates tasked with keeping us ballot

00:30:13.000 access Raising all their own funds all that stuff

00:30:16.000 But we do run a lot of down ballot candidates I think in 2022 with the Mises caucus takeover that became

00:30:21.000 the bigger focus was the localization nullification of you know

00:30:25.000 Federal law at the state and local level and that's the really important thing that that

00:30:29.000 Any like presidential candidate for Libertarian Party should be doing this media tour talking about how hey you

00:30:34.000 could take over your local guns You can take over your school board

00:30:37.000 You know, all these terrible policies that the schools are doing.

00:30:39.000 You have the opportunity to run.

00:30:41.000 If you've got a Tuesday and a Wednesday free every week, you can go run for school board.

00:30:45.000 You know, it's not that hard.

00:30:47.000 And you should.

00:30:47.000 And you should, yes.

00:30:48.000 Even in West Virginia, woke people are masquerading as Trump supporters to get elected.

00:30:52.000 Of course.

00:30:53.000 And then introduce weird crackpot adult content to kids.

00:30:56.000 Yeah, you should be running.

00:30:57.000 You should be running.

00:30:58.000 If you have two weeknights free a month or something, I mean, you could really run for some of these small positions in small towns and change everything.

00:31:05.000 So where do you see the most libertarian activity in the U.S.?

00:31:08.000 Like, I always think New Hampshire.

00:31:09.000 I've interviewed a couple of libertarians from North Carolina in the past.

00:31:12.000 Well, I can tell you the most registered libertarian voters per capita is Nebraska.

00:31:17.000 But that's because New Hampshire, like, when they did the Free State Project, they all registered as Republicans and Democrats to take over those positions as Republicans and Democrats.

00:31:25.000 That's changing now in New Hampshire.

00:31:27.000 Of course, a lot more people are joining the Libertarian Party there.

00:31:30.000 What happened in Nebraska?

00:31:32.000 They're a pretty libertarian state.

00:31:34.000 I don't know.

00:31:35.000 We're in Iowa.

00:31:35.000 We're not far behind them in Iowa as well.

00:31:37.000 The Libertarian Party is a national major political party in Iowa because of our gubernatorial candidate who ran in the last election.

00:31:44.000 He got a high enough percentage.

00:31:46.000 We don't have to worry about ballot access or anything like that anymore.

00:31:49.000 Now we need a presidential candidate that can step up and do those things so that we don't have to worry about it anymore. 0.70

00:31:52.000 You need like 5%, right?

00:31:54.000 There's some speculation it might be a little bit higher, closer to 12%, but every state's different is the thing, right?

00:31:59.000 Like every state has a different threshold.

00:32:01.000 So there's like over half the states, if we were to get 5%, we'd never have to worry about ballot access again, at least not for another four years.

00:32:08.000 So it's an important thing.

00:32:10.000 If you're in a swing state and you're not worried about your candidate losing there, throw a vote at us.

00:32:15.000 Let's get seven to 12%.

00:32:16.000 You have to register as a libertarian?

00:32:19.000 In some states.

00:32:20.000 All states are different.

00:32:21.000 They all have different election laws.

00:32:22.000 So it just really depends.

00:32:24.000 Yeah.

00:32:25.000 So what do you expect going into this cycle?

00:32:28.000 I mean, where are you expecting to spend the most time?

00:32:30.000 It's going to be an interesting cycle with RFK running for sure, but there's a chance.

00:32:34.000 You know, everyone's really worried about RFK, but there's a chance he doesn't get on the ballot, right?

00:32:37.000 He's running independent.

00:32:39.000 It's going to cost him millions and millions and millions of dollars to get on the ballot in all 50 states.

00:32:43.000 He may get on in a few states, but I don't think he's going to be on the ballot in every state.

00:32:46.000 So it's not as big of a deal as some people are making it out to be.

00:32:51.000 We're focusing on 50 states.

00:32:52.000 I mean, that's that's the thing.

00:32:53.000 We want as many votes in the popular vote as possible all the way across the country so that we can hit like at least a 5% and or maybe we do well enough in the media and we get that 15% in some of the big polls and we can get on the debate stage because that's really what we want.

00:33:06.000 If we can look Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the eyes and tell him how bad their policies are hurting the middle class in America, like that's what we want to do, you know, because that's what really what this is all about.

00:33:15.000 So that's that's the focus for me.

00:33:16.000 It was my campaign all 50 states.

00:33:18.000 No foreign wars.

00:33:20.000 No foreign wars, uh, you know, try to dismantle the Federal Reserve as much as possible.

00:33:25.000 Of course, take down as many of these federal agencies as we possibly can.

00:33:28.000 Um, and, and Vivek is right about this.

00:33:30.000 I mean, we, we can't as a president, you don't have the power to go out there and abolish all these federal agencies, but you can lay off 70% of the workforce.

00:33:36.000 Or just relocate them to Unalaska.

00:33:37.000 Well, you can get rid of 70% and then take the last 30% and relocate them to maintenance departments and mail rooms at little precincts around the country.

00:33:45.000 And then, you know, maybe we get the FBI small enough to where they stop focusing on trying to infiltrate Catholic groups and go after, uh, you know, uh, soccer moms at school board meetings to call them.

00:33:56.000 I'm telling you, I got a plan to revitalize this country and it's easy.

00:34:00.000 How many, how many federal, uh, uh, employees are there?

00:34:03.000 Do you know?

00:34:03.000 Oh, a lot.

00:34:05.000 I don't know.

00:34:05.000 It's one of the biggest jobs programs in the world.

00:34:08.000 Oh, yeah.

00:34:09.000 I got an idea.

00:34:09.000 All right.

00:34:11.000 We'll start with the FBI.

00:34:11.000 How many FBI agents do we got?

00:34:13.000 I don't know.

00:34:14.000 I'll look it up.

00:34:14.000 Yeah, let's pull up.

00:34:15.000 Let's pull those numbers.

00:34:16.000 You got the FBI, ATF.

00:34:19.000 You want to abolish the IRS, right?

00:34:20.000 Well, I mean, as much as possible.

00:34:21.000 Right.

00:34:22.000 The first one.

00:34:22.000 No, no.

00:34:23.000 Don't worry.

00:34:23.000 I got a plan.

00:34:24.000 How many?

00:34:24.000 How many do we got, Hannah-Claire?

00:34:26.000 I haven't found it yet.

00:34:27.000 I'll tell you in a second.

00:34:28.000 enough to infiltrate catholic groups no i love it but i think they might uh... thirty five

00:34:33.000 thousand people but i feel like it's got to be i've been out of town probably

00:34:37.000 more than you do you don't have a firearm

00:34:38.000 you know that if i were to do is you take one thousand

00:34:43.000 you you you get thirty five units of a thousand and you relocate them

00:34:48.000 into rural nowhere places like central alaska

00:34:52.000 I'll tell you why.

00:34:54.000 Because then those federal dollars will go towards creating cities where it will require the development of industry.

00:35:01.000 Right, sure.

00:35:02.000 Not only are you going to force people to live in areas, you're basically colonizing our own country. 0.93

00:35:08.000 So, you know, we got a bunch of stuff in Alaska.

00:35:10.000 We should go up there and source our own resources, stop worrying on China.

00:35:13.000 You've never been to Alaska in the winter, have you?

00:35:16.000 I don't care.

00:35:17.000 This is great.

00:35:18.000 They can quit if they want.

00:35:18.000 There's a reason why people don't live there, Tim.

00:35:19.000 But before you fire them, you say, we're going to give you, you know, like four more years of employment, but it's going to be in Alaska.

00:35:25.000 Sure.

00:35:25.000 Have a nice day. And then when they're there, you're gonna have to build housing, you're gonna

00:35:30.000 have to build infrastructure. Then what happens is these people, they need to eat, right? So

00:35:34.000 someone's gonna open a store. Someone's gonna open a restaurant. Then when you have workers there,

00:35:38.000 you have the opportunity to colonize our own country instead of seeing our cities die.

00:35:44.000 How about this? I was looking at this city, Renovo, Pennsylvania.

00:35:48.000 video.

00:35:49.000 And I was like, this is a really cool town, but it's dying.

00:35:50.000 It was a railway town.

00:35:52.000 And there's like a thousand people live there.

00:35:55.000 Just send 500 FBI agents.

00:35:57.000 You gotta live there now.

00:35:58.000 You're stationed here.

00:35:59.000 And then all of a sudden, you're revitalizing that town and giving these people their jobs back.

00:36:03.000 You see what I'm saying?

00:36:04.000 And then after four years, you fire them.

00:36:07.000 Do we have to give them a full four years, Tim?

00:36:08.000 Can we do like maybe one?

00:36:09.000 Here's my point.

00:36:11.000 You're basically using them as a means to help middle Americans revitalize their towns and create some kind of, like, revitalization for these areas that need industry, and then you get rid of them. 0.99

00:36:24.000 Yeah, but we're simply not going to have the funding for that.

00:36:26.000 There were 2.87 million federal civilian employees in 2022.

00:36:30.000 Wow!

00:36:30.000 How many? 2.8.

00:36:33.000 Like soft gulags a giant woman and you got to add to that Okay, so that's a huge jobs program right probably one of the biggest jobs programs in the world But then you got to add to that all the government contracts for people who get government contracts That's the very largest employer in the history of the world maybe ever right so I mean it's really wild to think about I mean, there is a reason that as the federal government grew, you saw expansion in Maryland and Northern Virginia, right? 0.97

00:36:58.000 Because other businesses came there.

00:37:00.000 So to Tim's point, if we were to say, you know, what was it?

00:37:03.000 The Department of the Interior, they moved it to Colorado under Trump and then under Biden, they're like, no, no, we're going back to D.C.

00:37:08.000 We don't want to be here.

00:37:09.000 But theoretically, if you were to station these federal outposts somewhere else, eventually shut it down or whatever else, you're making these contractors who want these contracts or want anything else go where they are.

00:37:18.000 They're not just centralized in D.C.

00:37:20.000 It's so crazy to think about these government contracts.

00:37:22.000 Because basically, if you're making a lot of money in America right now, it's probably through a government contract.

00:37:27.000 This is the biggest employer in the world.

00:37:30.000 And they put that EO, Joe Biden put the EO back that said that all these government contracts have to have a DEI program.

00:37:39.000 Any of you guys know about that?

00:37:40.000 No.

00:37:41.000 So if you have a government contract with the federal government, your company has to have a DEI department.

00:37:47.000 Yep.

00:37:47.000 Absolutely, 100%.

00:37:48.000 Trump had ended the EO, and Biden brought it right back.

00:37:51.000 And so, like, when we talk about DEI and ESG and stuff in America right now, like, that's where it's all stemming from, is from the federal government.

00:37:59.000 They're literally pushing this on everyone.

00:38:01.000 Let's jump to this story, we've got some post-millennial.

00:38:03.000 Tucker Carlson says RFK Jr.

00:38:05.000 will pull votes from Trump, not Biden.

00:38:07.000 There's no person who's thinking, I'm gonna vote for either Joe Biden or Bobby Kennedy, and Tucker is wrong!

00:38:12.000 Yeah, he's definitely wrong.

00:38:13.000 He is absolutely wrong on this.

00:38:15.000 I think this is more of a passive statement he made, speaking on a podcast, because it does not seem like he actually looked at the data or had real conversations.

00:38:23.000 I think Ian's a good example, because Ian's talked about how his mom is a big fan of the Kennedys.

00:38:28.000 Yeah, yeah, she loved Bobby.

00:38:30.000 And she would never vote for Trump.

00:38:32.000 No, I don't think so.

00:38:33.000 Maybe if she met him.

00:38:35.000 Perhaps.

00:38:35.000 This is a very simple piece of math.

00:38:38.000 It's probability.

00:38:38.000 Let's say your mom's probability of voting for Biden is 80% and voting for Kennedy is 20% and voting for Trump is 0%.

00:38:47.000 That's the kind of math where if you have enough of those people it can only pull from Joe Biden.

00:38:52.000 It can never pull from Trump.

00:38:54.000 Robert Kennedy announced he was gonna, Robert Kennedy Jr.

00:38:57.000 announced he was gonna run for president.

00:38:58.000 Within like three days they slandered him or smeared him with anti-vax on the news and I called my mother like right away and I was like hey watch out for this anti-vax crap they're gonna start calling him now that he announced and she's like yeah but I don't know I just don't know how I feel about it.

00:39:11.000 I'm like dude two years ago she was saying how much she loves Robert Kennedy Jr.

00:39:14.000 and it's like the news started to get to her right away so there might be something there where they're they're tainting people's opinion of the guy.

00:39:21.000 He's going to pull from both of the big parties.

00:39:23.000 I believe 100%.

00:39:24.000 Yeah, but it's going to be 65 from Democrats and 30 from Republicans, if that.

00:39:30.000 I just got to say, man, I've not met a single person who will say publicly, I'm voting for Trump, who has not been like, well, I'm going to vote for Arkane instead.

00:39:38.000 Oh, you go ahead.

00:39:39.000 I was going to say, there was a poll done in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago, maybe a month, and it was asking people, you know, who you're voting for, whatever else.

00:39:45.000 We saw that Chris Christie was intensely unpopular there.

00:39:49.000 When they asked about RFK, he did have really high support from Republicans, but none of the Republicans planned to vote for him, and none of them planned to vote for him if their first choice candidate left, right?

00:40:00.000 It doesn't change the fact they like him.

00:40:02.000 Republicans are excited that he's in the race, but ultimately his support is still among Democrats, and we saw that when he announced his independent bid, it still leaned left in the lane.

00:40:10.000 I believe that if RFK, and this is a wild conspiracy theory that's not going to come true, this is theoretical, but if RFK was to drop entirely and start trying to run as Donald Trump's vice president, I think that he could get that.

00:40:23.000 I believe that.

00:40:23.000 I talked about that last night too.

00:40:25.000 RFK Jr.

00:40:26.000 is pro-reparations, pro-gun control.

00:40:28.000 Eco-fascism?

00:40:30.000 I don't.

00:40:30.000 Yeah, I don't.

00:40:31.000 I mean, he's big.

00:40:32.000 He's big time.

00:40:32.000 We've talked about Trump RFK in the past, but this was only in the context of the COVID response as a means of helping correct the image of Trump's failures on it.

00:40:42.000 But now RFK's pivoted recently much more heavily, especially with reparations.

00:40:46.000 And at his announcement, he said, it's Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:40:52.000 It was Columbus Day.

00:40:53.000 But right, right, he's jumped off.

00:40:55.000 Well, he also talked about government-backed bonds to save the housing market.

00:40:58.000 I mean, this guy's just like, he's a run-of-the-mill progressive that's good on health care and the deep state.

00:41:03.000 I mean, really, that's what it is.

00:41:04.000 So it's only Democrats.

00:41:05.000 Give him a cap.

00:41:06.000 He might be, like, in charge of the EPA or something, right?

00:41:08.000 If he really wanted to be, like, no, I know you guys like him, but I don't see him.

00:41:12.000 I saw it being floated around Attorney General, too.

00:41:14.000 Yeah, maybe.

00:41:15.000 I mean, I think it's just not a close enough bond.

00:41:17.000 I'm sure there's probably some sort of respect there for, you know, whatever cordial reason, but I don't think that there is a close enough camaraderie between the two of them.

00:41:25.000 And also, I think Trump's going to be really careful about who he picks for his VP, because look at what happened with Mike Pence, right?

00:41:31.000 I mean, he picked someone who he thought was neutral, and that ultimately ended very badly.

00:41:34.000 He's only going to be a four-year president if he's elected, and he needs someone who's really going to back him.

00:41:39.000 The fly was a better VP than Mike Pence, for sure.

00:41:42.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:41:43.000 Pence was such a miserable choice. 0.79

00:41:44.000 Did you guys see the poll on Twitter that was Chris Christie or a hoagie sandwich and the hoagie sandwich beat him like 69%. 0.94

00:41:49.000 I'm hungry, I'll take the hoagie.

00:41:51.000 Yeah, it was hilarious.

00:41:52.000 I'm hungry, I'll take the hoagie.

00:41:53.000 There was like 30,000 votes on there and the hoagie beat him like almost 70% of the vote.

00:41:59.000 Christy would be a good interview. 1.00

00:42:00.000 Christy is the most pathetic guy. 0.99

00:42:03.000 You might end up seeing him sit across from you, so whatever you say, say it to his face. 1.00

00:42:06.000 I don't care.

00:42:06.000 He keeps doing this Donald Duck thing.

00:42:08.000 Oh, it's terrible.

00:42:08.000 Yeah, dude, it is the cringiest thing, because he's so excited when he says it on the debate stage, he's like, Donald Duck!

00:42:15.000 And then everyone's like, you're an idiot. 1.00

00:42:17.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:42:18.000 He wants to be Donald Trump so bad.

00:42:19.000 Like, he really does.

00:42:20.000 He wants to be able to insult people like that, and he's just not quick enough.

00:42:23.000 It's because he's too overweight, man.

00:42:25.000 If he was thin and healthy, he would have a way better chance.

00:42:28.000 A lot more people would like him.

00:42:29.000 If he were thin and healthy, he wouldn't be funnier. 0.97

00:42:32.000 If Donald Trump was in a one-on-one debate with Christy, and Christy was like, this guy Donald keeps ducking all these questions, he's Donald Duck, Trump would go, you're fat. 0.72

00:42:44.000 And that's it, and everyone would go roaring.

00:42:46.000 Take care of yourself. 0.99

00:42:46.000 Crazy. 0.99

00:42:47.000 That's all it would take. 0.84

00:42:48.000 That's it.

00:42:48.000 That's all it would take.

00:42:49.000 Absolutely.

00:42:49.000 100%.

00:42:50.000 That's it.

00:42:50.000 That's all he would say.

00:42:51.000 Because Trump has no, he has no filter at all.

00:42:53.000 Zero filter.

00:42:54.000 I can hear you breathing in the microphone.

00:42:55.000 Exactly!

00:42:56.000 Yep, he'd say something like that.

00:42:58.000 He'd make that face and go...

00:43:01.000 Lord over here can hear him breathing and then everyone just busts out laughing and he's done.

00:43:05.000 Donald Duck is not funny. 1.00

00:43:06.000 It's not clever It's stupid and Trump would just do the most crass bottom-of-the-barrel. 1.00

00:43:11.000 Yeah, and you're fat Yeah, and then everyone would start roaring with laughter like It's all it would take. 1.00

00:43:16.000 I have seen Trump rallies.

00:43:17.000 I have seen that man speak.

00:43:18.000 He's a stand-up comedian. 0.99

00:43:20.000 The shut-up silly woman thing is all over the internet still to this day! 1.00

00:43:27.000 Shut up, silly woman! 1.00

00:43:28.000 Yeah, that's all over. 1.00

00:43:29.000 That's all over the internet still.

00:43:30.000 Was that to Hillary? 0.85

00:43:31.000 No.

00:43:32.000 He was at a rally and he was telling a story.

00:43:34.000 Yeah, it was a rally.

00:43:36.000 Yeah, if you've not seen a rally, This is what I hear from people.

00:43:41.000 They're like, I wasn't a big Trump fan and I decided to go to his rally and now I'm a Trump fan.

00:43:45.000 They're like, because the guy, you're going to a comedy routine, man.

00:43:48.000 He's doing what Jon Stewart basically did back in the day.

00:43:52.000 He's up there and he's saying, I'll give you the formula.

00:43:55.000 It's like, you got problem.

00:43:56.000 I know about problem.

00:43:58.000 I'm going to insult the people who make problem.

00:43:59.000 And everyone starts cheering for it.

00:44:00.000 I kind of like- And he does it well.

00:44:02.000 Watching old Trump videos, because his personality, like, you see who he was when he was young, you see who he is now, I think it's a lot- you get a better, like, more well-rounded idea of who he is.

00:44:10.000 Sure.

00:44:10.000 Super cool.

00:44:11.000 Shane Gillis can literally go up on stage and impersonate Donald Trump verbatim.

00:44:17.000 And the whole crowd dies laughing, and he's just saying what Trump said.

00:44:20.000 That's it.

00:44:21.000 Exactly.

00:44:22.000 Verbatim.

00:44:23.000 And Shane Gillis is one of the best stand-up comedians in the world right now.

00:44:28.000 I tell you, the key to getting your friends and family to go over the line on like, I don't know about Trump, they complain about him, just come with me and see what he says.

00:44:36.000 And they're going to leave feeling great.

00:44:37.000 But I don't want you to vote for Trump though.

00:44:39.000 Oh, I know.

00:44:40.000 You don't.

00:44:40.000 But I'm saying for people, like, when you actually see the guy, it's the entertainment value that he's making you have a good time.

00:44:47.000 This is like, kind of, this is a little bit of an off-tangent metaphor, but like, the whole mean tweets thing, they're like, instead of a guy with mean tweets, I'd rather have a warmonger.

00:44:55.000 Right.

00:44:56.000 It's kind of like, on YouTube, we can talk about death and destruction and that, but we can't say the F word.

00:45:01.000 I mean, you can, obviously, say it, but like, The F-word's like the mean tweets of the internet censorship, like, yo bro.

00:45:06.000 I'm not sure what F-word you're talking about.

00:45:08.000 There's a lot of funny ones. 0.83

00:45:09.000 Fanny! 0.62

00:45:09.000 Oh, okay. 0.62

00:45:11.000 Sorry, Australians. 1.00

00:45:14.000 We say the F-word on Break the Cycle all the time.

00:45:17.000 I love it.

00:45:18.000 You were saying before the show that charisma is one of the deciding factors.

00:45:21.000 It's very important.

00:45:22.000 You can't be a presidential candidate without charisma.

00:45:24.000 It's a giant popularity contest.

00:45:26.000 It is the most important thing.

00:45:28.000 Trump, like, how would you define wit?

00:45:31.000 Right?

00:45:31.000 Like, what's, what's like the colloquial... It's just a quick, it's a quick brain.

00:45:34.000 I mean, it's really what it is.

00:45:35.000 It's quick enough, it's quick enough to quip with people.

00:45:37.000 I mean, back and forth.

00:45:38.000 And that's the thing.

00:45:38.000 You don't need to be super intelligent and articulate.

00:45:43.000 You need only be quick with it.

00:45:45.000 So, like, the point I was making with Chris Christie being like Donald Duck and then Trump going, I can hear fatso over here breathing in the microphone.

00:45:51.000 And it's not the smartest thing in the world, but it's a verbal smackdown.

00:45:56.000 He knows how and when to say things.

00:45:58.000 Exactly.

00:45:58.000 It's timing.

00:45:59.000 Quick-witted.

00:45:59.000 It's a timing thing.

00:46:00.000 It's a timing issue.

00:46:00.000 I think it's intelligence.

00:46:01.000 It requires at least 16 intelligences.

00:46:05.000 On a maximum of what?

00:46:06.000 23?

00:46:06.000 18.

00:46:07.000 18 is maximum human potential and then you become superhuman above that.

00:46:12.000 I'm sorry to interrupt.

00:46:12.000 No, it's fine.

00:46:13.000 I was interrupting you.

00:46:14.000 Just clarifying.

00:46:14.000 I was literally interrupting you.

00:46:16.000 So the thing is, in politics you only have to have a minor understanding of most issues and then be charismatic enough to talk about those issues.

00:46:23.000 Exactly.

00:46:24.000 Because the vast majority of the American public has no idea what these issues mean anyways at all.

00:46:29.000 This is the Aleppo moment in a nutshell.

00:46:31.000 Yeah.

00:46:34.000 When Gary Johnson was asked about Aleppo and he goes, and what is Aleppo?

00:46:37.000 It's just charisma one.

00:46:39.000 Right.

00:46:39.000 And then everyone, all anyone saw was this guy doesn't know anything about what he's talking about, what's going on.

00:46:44.000 He could have, he could have said, he could have, he could have made up nonsense.

00:46:47.000 Yeah.

00:46:47.000 He could have said, well, you know, the economic standard with Aleppo is, is, is troubling to me to be completely honest, but we're gonna, we're gonna get a policy in place in Washington.

00:46:54.000 It's going to solve that problem.

00:46:55.000 They go, wait, what?

00:46:56.000 Yeah.

00:46:56.000 But the average person would be like, oh, okay.

00:46:58.000 Because they just need to have an answer.

00:47:00.000 The other part about that is that... It's a city in Syria, by the way.

00:47:02.000 It makes him seem like he's not surrounded by people who are saying these are the most important issues because we all know a president gets, you know, an intense number of briefs and theoretically they're surrounded by experts on each issue.

00:47:13.000 Well, I'll tell you the biggest problem with libertarians, literally, this is the biggest problem, is we are all extremely well-read at libertarian philosophy.

00:47:20.000 We've read Murray Rothbard and F.A.

00:47:21.000 Hayek and Mises and all these great economists and Austrian economists and philosophers and just everything you could possibly imagine.

00:47:29.000 Henry Hazlitt and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:47:30.000 And then you want to go out and you want to lecture this to people.

00:47:33.000 And no one cares.

00:47:34.000 Literally, no one cares.

00:47:36.000 They want to hear about how you're going to make their cash prices go down.

00:47:39.000 That's what they care about.

00:47:40.000 I just wanted to clarify, too, because I wasn't sure on that.

00:47:43.000 It's not the Capitol.

00:47:44.000 Is it not the Capitol?

00:47:46.000 Well, I have my own level moment.

00:47:47.000 It's Damascus, that's right.

00:47:48.000 I thought it was Damascus, but you said that, and I was like, let me double-check before I... Yeah, you're right, it's Damascus.

00:47:52.000 One thing that Libertarians, a problem they have, too, I think, is that they're not, like, obsessed with global military.

00:47:57.000 Like, you gotta be, in order to be a great commander-in-chief of our military, you gotta understand, like, how are we gonna dominate and annihilate everything on Earth so we don't have to?

00:48:04.000 No, but we're not gonna do that.

00:48:05.000 That's the thing.

00:48:07.000 But you have to know how so that you don't.

00:48:08.000 So you know how not to.

00:48:10.000 We'd be a much safer nation if two-thirds of our military wasn't stationed around the world.

00:48:15.000 Because if the president doesn't understand it, if the president's not a military expert, then someone else is going to run the military.

00:48:22.000 The thing is, they just have to know enough about it and have... The reality is, whoever is the president may be really well versed on a couple issues, right?

00:48:30.000 They might have, let's say, five that they know backwards, forwards, they know everything about, but realistically, they're going to need a staff that is able to... You have a huge staff.

00:48:38.000 Yeah, that relies on expertise and is able to brief them quickly.

00:48:41.000 And so that's why, you know, when Gary Johnson gets the Aleppo question wrong, it means he did not have anyone around him to say, this is a current issue that you should know about.

00:48:50.000 And that's one of the problems going forward.

00:48:51.000 I mean, this was a criticism people had of Trump when he was in the White House was that the people he surrounded himself with did not look out for his best interests and we were not guiding him in the right direction.

00:48:59.000 It's unrealistic to expect a president to know absolutely everything.

00:49:03.000 Yeah, but a lot of that was his fault too, because he was going to drain the swamp and

00:49:07.000 then he surrounded himself with the swamp.

00:49:08.000 I'm not saying it wasn't, but ultimately this is a problem that could be true for a

00:49:12.000 libertarian president, it could be true for a democrat president.

00:49:14.000 It is not actually the person on stage who knows everything, it's the people they're

00:49:17.000 surrounding themselves with.

00:49:18.000 Yeah, the president does have generals, but the commander must know military doctrine,

00:49:22.000 or at least rapidly learn it.

00:49:24.000 But under that logic, we would only want people who had served in the military to be presidents,

00:49:28.000 which could be true in some eras, right?

00:49:30.000 But theoretically, right now, I mean, as far as I know, Joe Biden didn't serve in the military.

00:49:34.000 Maybe he'll tell us something different.

00:49:36.000 Trump went to military boarding school, right?

00:49:37.000 But he didn't actually serve in the military.

00:49:39.000 So theoretically, both of these people have the... What?

00:49:42.000 That's right.

00:49:42.000 Yeah.

00:49:43.000 When was the last time we had a military commander, like a ex-military guy or woman guide? 1.00

00:49:47.000 George Bush.

00:49:48.000 Was it George Bush?

00:49:49.000 Was he in the military?

00:49:50.000 Yeah.

00:49:51.000 The dad?

00:49:51.000 You mean H.W.? ?

00:49:53.000 Weren't they both in the military?

00:49:54.000 Yeah, but W, wasn't his story that he didn't go to Vietnam or something?

00:49:57.000 Something like that, but he was in the military.

00:49:59.000 I mean, how far back are we going?

00:50:01.000 He's in the Air Force, I think.

00:50:02.000 Did Clinton serve in the military?

00:50:03.000 Not that I know of.

00:50:04.000 No, Clinton wasn't in the military.

00:50:05.000 We have to work backwards.

00:50:06.000 Reagan was a movie star.

00:50:07.000 Oh, John F. Kennedy.

00:50:08.000 Kennedy definitely served in the military, that was a huge deal.

00:50:10.000 Kennedy was in the Navy, I think, in Vietnam.

00:50:12.000 Was he in the Navy?

00:50:13.000 And he received, he wasn't Pearl Harbor, but he received some very serious award for saving people.

00:50:17.000 He was a badass.

00:50:17.000 Yeah, literally.

00:50:18.000 He like saved a bunch of dudes off of what a sinking ship or some crazy story.

00:50:22.000 That would be a great story to pull up at some point.

00:50:23.000 George W. Bush served in the Navy during World War II.

00:50:24.000 George Bush.

00:50:26.000 George H.W.

00:50:27.000 Bush served in the Navy.

00:50:28.000 Wow.

00:50:28.000 Well, let's jump to the story from the AP.

00:50:31.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you may not be aware, Donald Trump is facing eligibility questions for the 2024 presidential race in Colorado and In Minnesota and in Michigan and probably a bunch of other states, but we've got updates on the Minnesota hearing.

00:50:45.000 The AP says Minnesota justices appear skeptical that states should decide Trump's eligibility for the ballot.

00:50:52.000 I watched some of this live and I gotta say this these hearings.

00:50:58.000 What we are watching right now with the question of Donald Trump's eligibility.

00:51:03.000 Is an attempt by Democrats to run a stake through the heart of the United States and the arguments made in Minnesota really spell this out.

00:51:10.000 I'll give it to you very simply.

00:51:12.000 I believe it was Trump's lawyers who was arguing this.

00:51:16.000 States do not have the constitutional authority to determine eligibility.

00:51:21.000 State legislatures are given wide responsibility and governance over elections in their states, but not eligibility, which is a federal question.

00:51:35.000 If someone's eligibility is challenged, it must be in a federal court.

00:51:39.000 Donald Trump was questioned over this in his impeachment hearings and was found not to have engaged in insurrection.

00:51:45.000 Therefore, the question is done.

00:51:48.000 They're now taking it to the states to argue he did.

00:51:51.000 The argument was was was actually really simple.

00:51:54.000 If someone's 27 years old, there's no question of fact.

00:51:56.000 You're not eligible to run.

00:51:58.000 Nobody has an issue with it.

00:51:59.000 Insurrection is different.

00:51:59.000 Insurrection has to be determined.

00:52:01.000 But the Constitution at the federal level determines the eligibility for a federal elected official.

00:52:06.000 States don't decide who is eligible or not.

00:52:09.000 If it becomes... If Democrats succeed in even a single state... Set a precedent.

00:52:16.000 Then the precedent will be there will never be a U.S.

00:52:19.000 election again.

00:52:20.000 Now hold on.

00:52:21.000 We'll have North Korea-style elections, where you'll have one person on the ballot.

00:52:23.000 Why?

00:52:24.000 Elections will become, instead of, hey, let's go get as many votes as possible, it's time to go vote, that's what we do now, but don't get me, like, don't get me wrong, I know it's all ballot harvesting, now it's, it's, it's months of work, knocking on doors, and the goal is get a bigger number than the opponent by any means necessary.

00:52:41.000 If this goes through and Democrats succeed, future elections will be like this.

00:52:46.000 Okay, sir, it is one year before the general, which means it's eligibility season.

00:52:53.000 We better get those arguments ready for court to determine whether or not you're eligible to be in this state.

00:52:58.000 A president will then have to win eligibility hearings in all 50 states.

00:53:04.000 And if they don't, their name will not appear on the ballot, a dummy candidate will, and it will be like a North Korean election in every state.

00:53:11.000 You will then get every blue state saying, Joe Biden and, you know, Bobby, Bobby Doe, the Republican.

00:53:19.000 No one's ever heard of him.

00:53:20.000 Doesn't matter.

00:53:20.000 It's Joe Biden versus Bobby.

00:53:22.000 And everyone's like, who's that?

00:53:24.000 Well, that means that there's not going to be a popular vote for Trump.

00:53:26.000 Then the red states will do the same thing.

00:53:28.000 Well, Joe Biden's not eligible.

00:53:29.000 Actually, it's probably the Republicans will do nothing, and it'll only be the blue states that are cutting off all the Republicans.

00:53:34.000 But theoretically, then red states say, nope, we had we had eligibility hearings a year ago, and we found Joe Biden to be ineligible for these reasons.

00:53:42.000 Therefore, the belt will only be Donald Trump and the Democrat will be RFK Jr.

00:53:47.000 And then Trump wins easily.

00:53:48.000 And then you're going to get red-leaning swing states and blue-leaning swing states, and that's going to be the battle where instead of an election, appointed officials, hired corporate lawyers will argue to judges who the president should be.

00:54:02.000 I don't know about you, but it sounds like a great segue to national divorce myself.

00:54:07.000 I'm a fan.

00:54:07.000 This ain't happening.

00:54:09.000 No, this isn't going to happen.

00:54:10.000 And if this goes through... No, no, no, this could happen.

00:54:13.000 I don't think... These judges are hyper-partisan.

00:54:15.000 I know they are.

00:54:16.000 The judge in Colorado is a donor to a PAC specifically to remove Republicans who supported Trump on January 6th.

00:54:22.000 Our whole entire justice system has become hyper-partisan.

00:54:25.000 I'm not under any illusion.

00:54:26.000 What's going to stop this Colorado judge, who already donated money to stop Republicans over January 6th, what's going to stop that judge from being like, I don't care what you said, Trump, your name's off the ballot, you're going to stop them?

00:54:37.000 The Supreme Court.

00:54:38.000 I don't get argued to the Supreme Court.

00:54:40.000 And how many years will that take before the Supreme Court takes it up?

00:54:43.000 I don't know.

00:54:44.000 It could be fast.

00:54:46.000 It probably would be pretty fast concerning elections like that.

00:54:49.000 And then what happens if...

00:54:51.000 In Colorado, my fear is November, let's say October 2024, a state like Michigan will just take Trump off the ballot and say, sue us.

00:55:03.000 Then the Trump campaign will sue and win.

00:55:07.000 And then by December 15th, they'll get injunctive relief.

00:55:10.000 Oh, what's that?

00:55:10.000 Joe Biden already won.

00:55:12.000 Sorry, we can't undo the election.

00:55:13.000 It was one state only.

00:55:14.000 One state's moot.

00:55:15.000 That one state wouldn't have changed the election.

00:55:17.000 But then they argue, yes, but your honor, here's four other states where it happened too.

00:55:21.000 Well, you gotta take it up with those judges in those states.

00:55:23.000 That has nothing to do with us.

00:55:25.000 It's only seven electoral votes here, so you don't win.

00:55:27.000 Then he's gonna go to that state.

00:55:28.000 Oh, it's only 13 here, so you don't win.

00:55:30.000 Yeah, I just- I don't see it- I don't see it getting that far.

00:55:33.000 I really don't.

00:55:33.000 I don't- I honestly don't think it can get that far.

00:55:35.000 I- I gotta be honest, man.

00:55:37.000 You think it's not gonna get that far, considering everything we've seen over the past- And I'm like- I'm pretty black-tailed on a lot of this stuff, and I'm sa- I- I- I would be very surprised if that- if that got that far, and I'd be very- and I'd be very surprised if it did go through, that it wouldn't take- Was January 6th surprising to you?

00:55:50.000 Yes, of course.

00:55:51.000 It should be surprising.

00:55:52.000 Viscerally surprising.

00:55:54.000 I cannot believe that someone would be surprised by what is literally happening right now when you have Colorado, Minnesota, and Michigan all happening at the same time, where they're all arguing Trump should not be on the ballot, and a judge literally donated to a PAC to get Republicans removed from Congress for supporting Trump.

00:56:09.000 I mean, we are one centimeter from... Okay, when you have judge donates money to target Trump supporters, Specifically over January 6.

00:56:20.000 Then you have presiding over whether Trump is eligible for January 6.

00:56:24.000 It is a slight nudge to Trump ruling.

00:56:27.000 Trump is not out.

00:56:28.000 There's also there's a huge difference when we talk about January 6.

00:56:31.000 There's a huge difference between the federal courts and the state courts to

00:56:34.000 Federal courts always throw the book entirely at everybody they have coming in hoping they'll take a plea deal and

00:56:40.000 like 80-something percent of the people go through federal court

00:56:43.000 take a plea plea deal because the the consequences of not taking one are so high

00:56:47.000 Astronomically high that you can end up in prison for two and a half life sentences for building an e-commerce site

00:56:52.000 like Ross Olbrich Yeah, and so like there's there's a distinction there for

00:56:57.000 sure and I don't I just I just don't see a state court going that far

00:57:00.000 I don't think they can.

00:57:01.000 I think at some point someone's going to say, Judge, you absolutely cannot do this.

00:57:05.000 Yeah, that's what I think is happening right now.

00:57:06.000 Who says that though?

00:57:07.000 Well, that's what's happening now.

00:57:08.000 So when the judges in Pennsylvania ruled that their own constitution did not bar them from passing universal mail-in voting, I don't understand how you go from point A to point B on that one.

00:57:18.000 In Pennsylvania, a lower court ruled that universal mail-in voting violated the Constitution of Pennsylvania.

00:57:24.000 Texas filed their lawsuit.

00:57:26.000 The Supreme Court refused to hear it.

00:57:28.000 So there wasn't even a hearing over what was clearly a violation of state constitution.

00:57:32.000 And the justices of Pennsylvania said, we think absentee ballots and mail-in votes are a different thing, so we're going to allow universal mail-in voting despite the fact the Constitution clearly says you can't. 0.98

00:57:41.000 The upside is we've got a year to talk about how insane this crap is. 0.97

00:57:44.000 Yeah, that's true. 0.99

00:57:45.000 We need elections.

00:57:46.000 Yeah, we have.

00:57:48.000 Even if they're getting twisted behind the scenes, 51-49, we still need them.

00:57:52.000 Look at Arizona. 0.97

00:57:55.000 What's what?

00:57:55.000 What?

00:58:16.000 a fact no one disputes the voting machines were not accepting ballots in certain areas

00:58:21.000 because the wrong size image was printed on the wrong size paper.

00:58:24.000 That right there to any honest and reasonable person is stops.

00:58:28.000 Stop the election!

00:58:29.000 Stop! 1.00

00:58:31.000 We gotta start over.

00:58:32.000 Yeah, we don't have to rush elections.

00:58:33.000 Exactly.

00:58:34.000 These ballots are wrong.

00:58:36.000 People are complaining.

00:58:37.000 If we're gonna have a free and fair election, we gotta have, like, it's gotta be universal and uniform, the ballots.

00:58:43.000 Instead, they said, Don't know, don't care!

00:58:46.000 Get out, Kerry Lake! 1.00

00:58:47.000 But we also gotta remember that this election fraud thing has been going on for a long, long time.

00:58:51.000 It's deeply entrenched, right?

00:58:52.000 Like, it's been deeply entrenched in our government for many, many, many years.

00:58:55.000 But this is my point.

00:58:57.000 This is new, and this is gonna be visceral for a lot of people.

00:59:00.000 A lot of people.

00:59:01.000 If we know for a fact that, I think it was several hundred locations in Arizona, the ballots were not properly being read, and they argued, no, we counted all of them, trust us.

00:59:11.000 I'm like, no, that's not how elections work.

00:59:13.000 This, the courts, I mean, Kerry Lake is winning very narrowly in a few areas and it's advancing.

00:59:17.000 Now she's running for Senate, so we'll see if there's ever an answer, but I mean, they basically just said, everyone knows the election was broken, but we don't care and no one will do anything about it.

00:59:28.000 This is the same component.

00:59:29.000 They're just going and saying, we're going to win through lawfare and not an actual election.

00:59:33.000 and I'm not putting a pass on it.

00:59:34.000 I don't want anybody to think that I'm like downplaying this at all.

00:59:37.000 I just we do nothing.

00:59:38.000 Yeah, but I do nothing.

00:59:40.000 It's definitely what's going to do want to stress.

00:59:41.000 I'm not saying it is absolute that they're going to rule against Trump.

00:59:44.000 I don't know but they're trying and I would not be surprised at all.

00:59:48.000 If they succeed considering I'll just keep it very simple the judge in the Colorado case

00:59:53.000 donated money specifically to remove Republicans who supported Trump over January 6 and is

00:59:58.000 now presiding over the trial to determine whether or not Trump is ineligible to be president

01:00:03.000 because of his actions on January 6.

01:00:05.000 I think we know the biases of this judge.

01:00:07.000 I think he needs to be removed for conflict of interest.

01:00:09.000 Well, she was asked to recuse herself and she said, oh, I don't remember making that donation.

01:00:13.000 I don't care what she removed.

01:00:14.000 It doesn't matter.

01:00:15.000 It's still a conflict of interest.

01:00:17.000 It was up to her.

01:00:18.000 And there's no oversight.

01:00:19.000 She said, no, no, it's not a conflict of interest.

01:00:21.000 I bet there's a lawsuit hanging in there somewhere for conflict of interest.

01:00:24.000 They appeal.

01:00:25.000 But my friends, my fear is...

01:00:29.000 First, I'll say, and I gotta stress, you have to go vote.

01:00:32.000 You need a tidal wave of votes.

01:00:34.000 You need everyone, your grandmother, your kids, you know, whoever.

01:00:37.000 Libertarian.

01:00:37.000 Legally allowed to vote.

01:00:38.000 I don't care who they vote for, just go vote.

01:00:40.000 Just vote, yeah.

01:00:41.000 Go vote.

01:00:42.000 I don't want anyone to be dissuaded from voting because of these issues, but I want to make sure you understand the importance of the lawfare going forward, that it may be two months, three months, four months before the election, one of these hearings hits a state like Georgia, The lower court agrees and then orders the Secretary of State to print ballots without Donald Trump's name on it.

01:01:02.000 Trump files an appeal.

01:01:04.000 The appeal goes to a higher court who reverses the decision.

01:01:06.000 Secretary of State says, OK, well, now we got a bunch of ballots one way and the other.

01:01:10.000 Then the state appeals or the or the Democrats appeal, and it goes to a higher court that then says, no, no, no, Trump's ineligible.

01:01:17.000 Then Trump appeals and it goes to the Supreme Court who says you can't take Trump off the ballot.

01:01:20.000 He is eligible.

01:01:21.000 And it's a year after that.

01:01:22.000 No, so maybe it's good that this is happening now, so we can get up to the Supreme Court and they can shut it down.

01:01:27.000 I mean, if that goes through, it's going to the Supreme Court, there's no doubt about it.

01:01:30.000 In New York during COVID- But when is the question?

01:01:33.000 Cuomo, the governor, shuts down churches.

01:01:37.000 He gets sued saying, the First Amendment guarantees our right to assemble, you can't shut down churches.

01:01:42.000 The courts agree and say, you can't shut them down, they're reopened.

01:01:45.000 And he goes, okay, I'll make a new executive order slightly different, sue me again.

01:01:50.000 That's the problem.

01:01:51.000 Even if it happens now, what's happening now, especially with like people like Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis apologizing and saying, yep, we did it.

01:02:00.000 We did it.

01:02:01.000 You're now going to have in these hearings, especially in Colorado, they're going to say, look, here's Trump staff saying they were instructed to present misinformation and disinformation for the purpose of subverting the election with fake electors, blah, blah, blah.

01:02:13.000 Okay, well, there's your evidence.

01:02:14.000 Then one court says yes, and then they use it everywhere else.

01:02:17.000 It'll have to go to the Supreme Court.

01:02:19.000 But the issue then becomes, what's the Supreme Court?

01:02:21.000 Is the Supreme Court ruling going to be broad or narrow?

01:02:23.000 Right.

01:02:24.000 Well, the Supreme Court say, in the instance of Trump's eligibility as it pertains to anything related to January 6, it is not in dispute.

01:02:32.000 Trump did not engage in insurrection and is eligible.

01:02:35.000 Okay.

01:02:36.000 Or what they could do is issue a narrow ruling where they say, as to the question raised specifically by this one group, this one time in Colorado, we say that they are wrong and Trump is eligible.

01:02:46.000 And then what happens?

01:02:47.000 Another organization says, okay, well, they didn't answer the question of January 6th, so we're suing again.

01:02:51.000 And then it just keeps happening until the Supreme Court issues a broad ruling.

01:02:53.000 But I got to tell you, I think it's also a strong possibility.

01:02:56.000 The Supreme Court says, no, we're not going to get involved in this one because states can run their elections as they see fit.

01:03:01.000 In Texas v. Pennsylvania, 2020, Texas said Pennsylvania violated the federal constitution by altering the rules of an election without the approval of the state legislature, and therefore we are negatively impacted.

01:03:15.000 If we are going to participate in an election, everyone has to have these elections done fairly.

01:03:19.000 Texas is basically saying if our elections are fair and theirs are not, then the system is broken and the votes are not legit.

01:03:24.000 I think it was something like 48 states get involved in this lawsuit and the Supreme Court said, go F yourselves. 0.96

01:03:30.000 So the question's never been answered and now you've got chaos in our election system because of pathetic cowards in the Supreme Court. 0.86

01:03:37.000 Why did they not take that up? 0.94

01:03:39.000 Did they say why?

01:03:40.000 Thomas and Alito were pissed.

01:03:42.000 Thomas wrote this scathing opinion where he's like, we must take up questions in original jurisdiction.

01:03:48.000 The states need to know.

01:03:50.000 They need these questions answered.

01:03:52.000 And by rejecting this, we're leaving this question in limbo.

01:03:56.000 And now, all the states are in a free-for-all as to what is or is not constitutional.

01:04:00.000 Alito agreed, he wrote his opinion, and the rest were like, no, we're not getting involved.

01:04:04.000 The real reason was, The Supreme Court cowards are scared that this country is on the brink.

01:04:09.000 You're talking about national divorce.

01:04:11.000 Of course, yeah.

01:04:11.000 You've got the Boston Globe story where the Democrats were proposing the West Coast seceding from the Union in the event of a Donald Trump victory.

01:04:19.000 And so you likely have people like Kavanaugh being like, well, if I rule on this, I mean, it could affect history.

01:04:26.000 I don't want to be involved in that!

01:04:28.000 Quit.

01:04:28.000 Quit right now.

01:04:29.000 Resign.

01:04:30.000 All of you resign.

01:04:31.000 If you're unwilling to take up a... No, they could have taken the court case and said, no, you're wrong, Texas.

01:04:37.000 The ruling stands.

01:04:38.000 Biden's president. 1.00

01:04:39.000 They just are cowards. 0.98

01:04:41.000 And if you're on the Supreme Court, that's kind of your job to affect history. 0.98

01:04:43.000 I mean, that is why we put you there.

01:04:45.000 Yeah.

01:04:46.000 But when far left extremists show up to your house and threaten to kill you and the police and the judges are like, we're going to let it happen.

01:04:51.000 Yeah.

01:04:51.000 I have tremendous sympathy for the fear.

01:04:54.000 On the other hand, if the fear Uh is now too great for you to complete your job.

01:04:58.000 You should step down If not, otherwise you have an obligation to continue to push forward.

01:05:02.000 That's why these issues aren't yeah, you have a fiduciary duty I mean this is you have a duty of the people to rule on these matters that make it to the supreme court There's no doubt about it and because they didn't rule on it The question remains open and will be an issue again in 2024 and it's going to be It's going to be apocalyptic lawfare now.

01:05:20.000 There's going to be like 3,000 lawsuits.

01:05:24.000 Everybody who watched 2020, they're gearing up for lawfare right now.

01:05:28.000 And the Democrats are already in it.

01:05:30.000 Republicans are not going to be as strong as Democrats on it, but they're gearing up as well.

01:05:34.000 It's going to be tens of thousands of lawsuits.

01:05:36.000 What's the fix for that?

01:05:37.000 Public opinion.

01:05:38.000 A shift in public opinion.

01:05:39.000 Of course.

01:05:40.000 Our culture is broken.

01:05:41.000 The public.

01:05:41.000 It's terrible.

01:05:42.000 It's absolutely terrible.

01:05:43.000 It's cultural fragmentation to where These judges, not these ones in Minnesota, they appear skeptical, we'll see what happens.

01:05:50.000 And Minnesota being, you know, it's not like the furthest of left states, you know, it's a Midwestern, so.

01:05:56.000 But with Colorado, with California, the culture is so divided.

01:06:01.000 Let me just put it this way, the left is a cult.

01:06:03.000 They are either malicious or the banality of evil.

01:06:08.000 And they go along with whatever gains them power.

01:06:10.000 So, I didn't mean to interrupt, but what do you think is the solution?

01:06:14.000 Building culture!

01:06:15.000 That's exactly why we're doing it.

01:06:16.000 Now, granted, I see these problems, I think, in the meantime, we need legal, uh, we need lawfare, you know, return legal fire, uh, file lawsuits, challenge these things, and everyone needs to vote in a massive tidal wave, but the real solution is always going to be that politics is downstream from culture, so what do we need?

01:06:32.000 A Castbrew coffee shop in every shopping center.

01:06:36.000 But this is the truth, and I'll tell you why.

01:06:38.000 Because right now, you've got younger people getting their information from TikTok, older people getting their news from mainstream media, and you're getting propaganda across the board.

01:06:48.000 No one is getting an honest shot.

01:06:50.000 On YouTube, you get partisan propaganda stuff, but at least, as it pertains to the quote-unquote freedom faction, I like to say, we all try to be honest about what's going on, and then let people form their own opinions, and we have a real free and fair election.

01:07:05.000 The reason why we want to do Casper Coffee, lady walks into the coffee shop to buy her coffee, and you've got a TV playing on the wall, and guess what?

01:07:12.000 Josh Smith is on doing an interview.

01:07:13.000 Now they're hearing another voice.

01:07:15.000 Now they're getting a wide range of opinions and views, not just one hyper-partisan or manipulated opinion, and they're learning about things.

01:07:25.000 I hope more people open a whole bunch more brick-and-mortar locations, but we need to create spaces in the physical world where people can meet, congregate, and hang out.

01:07:33.000 Used to be church!

01:07:34.000 It'd be great if it was.

01:07:36.000 We're gonna do this Cash Brew Coffee, we're gonna do Saturday Morning Cartoons, invite families to come and hang out with their kids, and let people start rebuilding their communities again.

01:07:43.000 You said Josh Smith interview, so I'm listening now, you know?

01:07:45.000 Yeah, I think we need to put this show on Rumble.

01:07:49.000 And, or, I think the YouTube admins should start shoving this show to the front of the network.

01:07:57.000 Yes, it is good luck.

01:07:58.000 You should do it because people need to know about this stuff.

01:08:01.000 This needs to become invigoratingly entertaining.

01:08:03.000 YouTube doesn't want you to know about this stuff.

01:08:05.000 YouTube's not a guy.

01:08:06.000 YouTube's just a network.

01:08:07.000 The Google executives cried when Donald Trump won.

01:08:10.000 Or I should say, the Google executives held a meeting where staff cried and they said, we will never let this happen again.

01:08:15.000 And we had Dr. Robert Epstein on the culture war explaining.

01:08:19.000 It's really, really crazy how he explains.

01:08:22.000 It's not complicated how they can rig elections.

01:08:26.000 People seem to think, they hear the story about Cambridge Analytica, right?

01:08:29.000 Oh, they were stealing data from Facebook.

01:08:31.000 They weren't supposed to have and using that to target people and figure out who they were voting for.

01:08:35.000 No, it's much simpler than that.

01:08:37.000 On election day, Mark Zuckerberg sitting there with his paddle ball went, oh, can you send out a notification to all Democrats to go vote and tell Republicans to go watch Friends?

01:08:43.000 Yeah, but what's happening right now is the people, the admins and the executives are fucking terrified right now, dude.

01:08:48.000 He said in his data set of tens of thousands of people, he found 100% of Democrats were given a notification to go vote and only 59% of Republicans got the same.

01:08:59.000 You don't need to trick or convince anybody.

01:09:02.000 You just need to remind one side and not the other.

01:09:04.000 There was that study that, I don't remember what university students did, sorry, but it was analyzing Gmail, and Gmail would show emails from Democratic campaigns, but it would hide or mark spam Republican campaigns.

01:09:18.000 I mean, this is something that is alive and well.

01:09:20.000 And here's the best part.

01:09:21.000 When, I think it was Ted Cruz, sent a letter to Google over this, he said in their data set they saw instantly The manipulation turned off.

01:09:31.000 That indicates Google is intentionally doing it.

01:09:35.000 But what's happening right now, people are terrified.

01:09:38.000 Biden screwed this country hard.

01:09:39.000 People know that. 1.00

01:09:40.000 People are freaking out that we're going to get slaughtered because of this shit show of a leadership that we have and they're willing to open and listen. 0.99

01:09:48.000 So we are the voice. 1.00

01:09:49.000 And we need to inspire people and get people, excite people to put this shit on the front page! 0.99

01:09:55.000 Make people hear it! 0.99

01:09:56.000 It's super important!

01:09:57.000 We cannot let go of our elections, you know that!

01:09:59.000 We need you!

01:10:01.000 This is a team, man!

01:10:03.000 People who are watching MSNBC, CNN and Fox News aren't hearing this.

01:10:08.000 I don't even see anybody tweeting about the Minnesota case.

01:10:11.000 No.

01:10:12.000 Like, Colorado's getting a little bit of airplay, especially because they showed a clip of this show, so we were like, hey, look, it's us!

01:10:18.000 Cash Patel!

01:10:18.000 Colorado seems like it's picking up.

01:10:20.000 I mean, I was just reading about, like, Ken Buck's testimony today.

01:10:23.000 It's getting underway, whereas, I mean, it's true for a lot of cases, when it's the early stages of, like, well, judges hearing this, whatever, there's sort of less for the journalists to report on.

01:10:31.000 But then when you're able to say, oh, Donald Trump Jr.

01:10:33.000 and Eric Trump are reporting today, these things might pick up.

01:10:37.000 It is a reason, to me, it seems obvious that these cases are all hitting at the same time.

01:10:41.000 So it's hard to keep track of them.

01:10:43.000 You don't know which case is presenting what information because they're arguing very similar things in different jurisdictions.

01:10:48.000 It's intentionally to confuse anyone who might be trying to follow it.

01:10:51.000 So, again, you can retain control of the narrative that gets out there.

01:10:54.000 Well, now they have 24-7 World War III coverage to watch, too, to keep them completely in the dark on everything else.

01:10:59.000 Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?

01:11:06.000 Jeez.

01:11:07.000 You know the meme?

01:11:07.000 Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

01:11:08.000 It's silly, but there actually is a really simple answer. 0.72

01:11:11.000 A horse-sized duck.

01:11:11.000 You know why?

01:11:12.000 You can run from it.

01:11:13.000 So, the reason I bring that up is Donald Trump is currently fighting a hundred duck-sized horses, and they're surrounding him in every direction.

01:11:22.000 That image is amazing, sorry.

01:11:24.000 And it's important, too, because what's happening right now is a single Democrat voter in each state files a lawsuit with only a couple thousand dollars and it forces Trump's team to expand nationwide to every state and set up a legal operation.

01:11:38.000 It's asymmetrical warfare.

01:11:40.000 Yeah, it also means that, you know, and this is not to be cruel to any of the lawyers working on these cases, but theoretically the best lawyers that Trump can get can't be in every single state all the time.

01:11:49.000 So Trump, as a single individual in a single campaign, will need to hire probably 300 lawyers.

01:11:55.000 Let's be real, maybe that's not even enough, okay?

01:11:57.000 If you're talking about election eligibility, you're not gonna have one lawyer do it.

01:12:01.000 You're gonna hire a lawyer and he's gonna have a team of like five or six.

01:12:03.000 He's gonna need that in every single state.

01:12:06.000 The Democrats... No, no, no.

01:12:08.000 It's not top-down.

01:12:09.000 There's one PAC in Colorado that six voters file a lawsuit.

01:12:12.000 Then in Minnesota, some random, three random guys file a lawsuit.

01:12:15.000 And they do it over and over again.

01:12:17.000 And the crazy thing is, there's going to be different versions of the same lawsuits filed in multiple states.

01:12:22.000 And Trump, as a single entity, will struggle to compete against all of that.

01:12:26.000 Maximum lawfare.

01:12:27.000 So what's the answer for Trump then?

01:12:30.000 I mean, he can't fight all these lawsuits.

01:12:32.000 He has to just fight.

01:12:33.000 He has to fight all the lawsuits, and he has to do this, and they're gonna lie, they're gonna cheat, and they're gonna steal.

01:12:37.000 But once again, I tell you, first and foremost, everybody needs to vote in a tidal wave and convince everybody to go vote.

01:12:43.000 Bring your friends to vote.

01:12:45.000 Tell them, you know, whatever's legal in your state, you know, if you're allowed to ballot harvest, ballot harvest.

01:12:50.000 You should be knocking on doors.

01:12:51.000 And then the real answer is going to be building culture.

01:12:54.000 Don't stuff the ballot box illegally though.

01:12:58.000 Don't get caught doing that.

01:12:59.000 It's legal in a lot of states.

01:13:00.000 People need to understand that.

01:13:01.000 I'll tell you about rollerblading is a really great analogy on this one.

01:13:05.000 Rollerblading was the biggest action sport in the world in the early 90s.

01:13:10.000 Had something like tens of millions of participants.

01:13:13.000 And they did not inspire young people to get involved.

01:13:18.000 So 10 years goes by and what happens?

01:13:20.000 You're still the best.

01:13:21.000 You're a pro.

01:13:21.000 You're doing the bigger tricks, better than ever.

01:13:23.000 But there's no one buying any products around what you're doing.

01:13:26.000 No sponsorships.

01:13:27.000 And then finally the X Games says, guys, you're not selling tickets anymore.

01:13:30.000 We're cutting your event.

01:13:32.000 You're gone.

01:13:32.000 You're still the best in the world, but there's no one coming behind you.

01:13:36.000 Republicans need to be inspiring young people, indoctrinating young people. 0.57

01:13:41.000 This is the funny thing.

01:13:42.000 Don't fall for the left's trap.

01:13:43.000 We absolutely want to indoctrinate all of the young people towards values of personal responsibility, meritocracy, and liberty, and the foundation of this country, and all the bad stuff can go away.

01:13:55.000 When the right says, oh, it's bad.

01:13:56.000 The schools are indoctrinating kids.

01:13:57.000 I'm like, actually, that would be good if it was like for American values, but it's not.

01:14:01.000 It's weird. 0.99

01:14:02.000 Well, garbage. 0.99

01:14:02.000 Yeah, I, I, I get kind of caught up on this, this Republican Democrat talk. 0.99

01:14:07.000 Obviously I'm a libertarian, but the problem for me is like all the worst.

01:14:10.000 Like policy that's ever passed in my lifetime has always had bipartisan support.

01:14:14.000 But I'm not trying to make it seem like Republicans and Democrats.

01:14:17.000 I don't like the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.

01:14:19.000 You've got a handful of Republicans right now, seven, who are very libertarian leaning and populist.

01:14:25.000 And so that's why I'm saying American values.

01:14:28.000 If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in individual liberties, rights and meritocracy, that's the indoctrination we want.

01:14:33.000 I'm a libertarian American first populist candidate that there you go that's what I've been telling everybody and some of the libertarians don't like that I say that but that's just because they don't understand what any of those words mean pretty much what does it mean well populist is just you're speaking to the the outside of the ruling elite right this regime that like that rules us through the the academia and and you know the Corporate news media and the rich and the and the politicians we're speaking to the middle class and lower Right like these people that are everyday Americans that get up every morning and put on their work boots and go to work That's what a populist message is speaking to those people not to not the elite and American first Here's the thing like libertarians are like, oh

01:15:10.000 You know anti-borders and and and oh, you can't say America first, but it's like you're running to govern Americans How could you not be an American first?

01:15:19.000 And in fact if we're gonna be this anti intervention interventionists, right like these anti-war guys then you have to be America first That's the one of the most important principles of that is that we've got to stop like meddling in these foreign interventions Yeah, it shouldn't be shameful to be an American First if you're an American politician.

01:15:35.000 Yeah, America First is a good thing if you're running to be a politician in America.

01:15:39.000 And as a libertarian candidate, I may be one of the first guys that actually gets that.

01:15:43.000 And that's, you know, that's just who I am.

01:15:44.000 Well, your chief rival in the presidential election has a new policy, this story from the Post Millennial.

01:15:50.000 Trump would create free, freedom-focused online American Academy as president, and he'd make the woke Ivies pay for it. 0.99

01:15:57.000 It will be strictly non-political, and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed.

01:16:03.000 I see a lot of people cheering for this, but I'm gonna be completely honest. 1.00

01:16:06.000 This is a stupid idea. 0.99

01:16:07.000 Sorry. 0.99

01:16:08.000 It just is.

01:16:09.000 Uh, let me play the video for you.

01:16:10.000 In recent weeks, Americans have been horrified to see students and faculty at Harvard and other once-respected universities expressing support for the savages and jihadists who attacked Israel. 0.79

01:16:23.000 We spend more money on higher education than any other country, and yet they're turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathizers of many, many different dimensions.

01:16:35.000 We can't let this happen.

01:16:36.000 It's time to offer something dramatically different.

01:16:40.000 Under the plan I'm announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new institution called the American Academy.

01:16:58.000 Its mission will be to make a truly world-class education available to every American, free of charge, and do it without adding a single dime to the federal debt.

01:17:09.000 This institution will gather an entire universe of the highest quality educational content covering the full spectrum of human knowledge and skills and make that material available to every American citizen online for free.

01:17:24.000 Whether you want lectures, or ancient histories, or an introduction to financial accounting, or training in a skilled trade, the goal will be to deliver it and get it done properly.

01:17:37.000 Using study groups, mentors, industry partnerships, and the latest breakthrough in computing, This will be a truly top-tier education option for the people.

01:17:48.000 It will be strictly non-political and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed.

01:17:54.000 None of that's going to be allowed.

01:17:56.000 Most importantly, the American Academy will compete directly with the existing and very costly four-year university system by granting students degree credentials that the U.S.

01:18:06.000 government and all federal contractors will henceforth recognize.

01:18:12.000 The Academy will award the full and complete equivalent of a bachelor's degree.

01:18:17.000 In addition to help the 40 million Americans who have some college education but no degree,

01:18:23.000 the American Academy will grant credit for past coursework at legacy institutions and

01:18:29.000 give you the chance to complete your education at the American Academy for free and much

01:18:35.000 more quickly than is now possible or available.

01:18:39.000 This will be a revolution in higher education and will provide life-changing opportunities for tens of millions of our citizens.

01:18:47.000 Enjoy it, learn from it, and thank you.

01:18:50.000 I just want to say real quick, the most important thing here is room tone, guys.

01:18:55.000 When you're shooting these videos, you need to record about 30 seconds of what's called room tone silence so that you can mask the jump cuts.

01:19:02.000 But anyway, what were you saying?

01:19:03.000 Is this like a GED but for a bachelor's degree instead of high school diploma? 0.96

01:19:07.000 And I think, look, I can respect the colleges are garbage, they're making kids communists, but the government making another program is not the solution. 0.74

01:19:16.000 Yeah, this is the same dilemma you had when you were talking about the central bank digital currencies, except with education. 0.95

01:19:22.000 It's the same exact thing.

01:19:24.000 Oh, the government's gonna swoop in and create government college for you.

01:19:26.000 Don't worry, Trump says it won't be woke.

01:19:28.000 No way!

01:19:29.000 He'll get out of office, and then some crackpot woke person will bang the gavel, and it'll turn into woke you. 0.99

01:19:33.000 And then the government's funded it, it can never die, it can never go away.

01:19:37.000 No. 1.00

01:19:37.000 He likes to say that everything woke turns to shit, but really it's everything the government touches turns to shit. 1.00

01:19:42.000 The government touches puts the woke in it? 1.00

01:19:45.000 Yeah.

01:19:45.000 He's saying, you know, I want people to have opportunities to get whatever, but why don't we just stop giving out student loans?

01:19:52.000 I feel like that's the thing that I'm more interested in seeing.

01:19:55.000 Stop going to college.

01:19:57.000 Stop subsidizing the whole system entirely.

01:20:00.000 You could solve a lot of issues that way.

01:20:02.000 In fact, you could make college affordable.

01:20:03.000 I do love how he came out with his own right-wing version of free college for all, though.

01:20:07.000 That's hilarious.

01:20:07.000 And if he fails at president, we'll definitely see the ads on Facebook where he's like,

01:20:12.000 you know, give us your email address and we'll send you an email.

01:20:17.000 Subsidizing college was one of the biggest mistakes our society ever made.

01:20:21.000 Because what happens now is, young person says, oh, I can get a loan to go to college.

01:20:26.000 I'll learn, I'll take something.

01:20:28.000 I don't even know.

01:20:28.000 Most kids don't even know what their major is going to be.

01:20:29.000 I don't even know what my major is going to be.

01:20:31.000 Then why are you going?

01:20:32.000 So they go thinking they're going to get a job.

01:20:34.000 That kid, that 17 year old, I say kid because they're 17, they're planning college.

01:20:38.000 They turn 18, they go to college.

01:20:39.000 If they just went and got a job working at their like local, with a handyman.

01:20:43.000 True.

01:20:44.000 Local mechanic, engineer, electrician, they said, I'm just going to do, go for work, heating and air conditioning.

01:20:49.000 They'd learn real skills that translate, that have an actual job, and then they can figure things out as they're getting older, or they can work these skills.

01:20:57.000 And maybe, I don't know, being an electrician is a great skill to have, and they could have learned that, they didn't have to go to college, they could have gone to trade school or something.

01:21:03.000 Instead, they graduate four years later and go, oops.

01:21:06.000 You know what's a better idea than going to Trump's America school?

01:21:10.000 It's just running for your local school board and changing the school district in your own locality.

01:21:15.000 Literally, it's going to be just as easy, and you can change everything.

01:21:19.000 If they never subsidized college, young people would not have gone and wasted their time generating debt and then learning nothing.

01:21:26.000 So what happens is, I read this great article, this is when I was a kid, they said, you need an IQ of at least 110 to go to college, and the problem is subsidized universities is telling everyone of any capability to go to college, you end up with people who are not bright enough, who can't understand the material.

01:21:42.000 I think we were talking about this the other day, like college was supposed to be, you sat down and experimented and worked with like-minded individuals and you wrote a thesis, you were saying this.

01:21:50.000 And now it's gen ed.

01:21:51.000 Now it's like, here's your homework, come back.

01:21:53.000 Yeah, it's like being in high school.

01:21:55.000 I mean, and this is also different than, let's say, like the British system, right?

01:21:58.000 Like in the equivalency of high school in England, you are already narrowing down what you want to study.

01:22:02.000 In America, we keep students taking everything for as long as possible.

01:22:05.000 And now that basically lasts until they're, you know, if you enroll in college at 18, that's the first two years of college.

01:22:10.000 So when you're 20, you are still taking general classes instead of specializing in a skill.

01:22:14.000 Yeah, but the longer you're in, the more money you owe the government.

01:22:16.000 Exactly.

01:22:16.000 I mean, that's the thing about subsidizing is that you were able to say to colleges, name your price and we will write a blank check and we will force them to agree to take it.

01:22:23.000 That's crazy.

01:22:24.000 That also means that there's no incentive for colleges to say, hey, we're going to make this quick and efficient for you.

01:22:29.000 I mean, there are schools that will say, oh, well, we're revamping our general ed criteria.

01:22:35.000 So actually you can't graduate unless you take, you know, summer courses, which cost additional money.

01:22:39.000 You spend an extra year here.

01:22:40.000 I mean, they're trying to make it last as long as possible because they don't care that you're going into debt.

01:22:45.000 And in fact, while I was sitting here, my college called me to try and get a donation.

01:22:49.000 This is just, you know, that you will always be a meal ticket for them.

01:22:52.000 And I think it's sad because there are probably professors who are really dedicated to things that they're interested in.

01:22:58.000 You know, there are students who are genuinely interested in learning.

01:23:00.000 Yeah, but it's the administration.

01:23:01.000 Well, and also, if we did not have college, would you have, you know, People who spend money buying tickets to lectures instead.

01:23:08.000 Like right now we trap all of learning in college when it doesn't have to be that way.

01:23:12.000 You can do all kinds of things.

01:23:15.000 I mean you can get free lectures online as it is.

01:23:18.000 I don't know why we need American Academy except for the fact that now they're saying you could potentially get the equivalency of a GED but for your bachelor's.

01:23:26.000 So if you've gotten some college somewhere but also to what end.

01:23:29.000 If you've been able to find a good job After having left college, why would you then go back and get a degree except for like I guess wanting to seem sort of elite and good?

01:23:39.000 I don't really get what the benefit of this is.

01:23:41.000 I like that he said they would rush, you could rush through, so kids that are really smart and they want to work 10 hours a day can get their degree in a year.

01:23:47.000 You can do that with dual enrollment programs while you're in high school.

01:23:50.000 I mean, you can get, I've known kids who graduate high school with their AA degree if they're getting dual enrollment during college credit, like through their local community college.

01:23:58.000 There are tons of ways to go through college faster.

01:24:00.000 I think we don't talk about them because ultimately everyone wants you in this pipeline where you go into debt.

01:24:04.000 Yeah, but you're talking about things that don't need college.

01:24:07.000 For things where you need to get a degree, like being a doctor, for instance, you're not gonna do it online.

01:24:12.000 You have to go and do medical practice and rounds, you have to learn how to actually save lives.

01:24:17.000 You should be able to do it online, though.

01:24:19.000 Medical work?

01:24:19.000 Yeah, sure, why not?

01:24:21.000 Because you gotta learn how to tie arteries?

01:24:23.000 Would you go to a doctor that got his education online?

01:24:25.000 No.

01:24:25.000 Of course not.

01:24:27.000 Of course not.

01:24:28.000 Nobody would.

01:24:28.000 This is the information age.

01:24:29.000 We know where somebody went to school.

01:24:30.000 So you think the average person would then, it's the responsibility of the individual to check on the person?

01:24:36.000 Of course.

01:24:36.000 I don't disagree.

01:24:37.000 You could learn a lot of the information, the book information online, but then you do need to go practice.

01:24:43.000 You've got to have labs.

01:24:43.000 I had a friend in high school who put himself through college while working as a paramedic all four years, or first time I can remember, in EMT.

01:24:52.000 If he wanted to be a doctor, shouldn't he automatically get real-world credit?

01:24:56.000 He shouldn't have to take certain classes because he has the practical skills.

01:25:00.000 I get that eventually maybe he has to go to medical school.

01:25:01.000 There's a big difference between an EMT and a doctor, by the way.

01:25:03.000 But at the same time, he's had more hands-on experience than anyone who just took a biology class, right?

01:25:09.000 There should be some recognition of real-world skills.

01:25:12.000 I think if you're good at it and it took you two years to become an expert doctor, I'd rather have you than a guy who was 12 years in school and doesn't know what he's doing.

01:25:21.000 I really don't care about how long it takes.

01:25:22.000 But all of these things, I mean, that's why there are like standardized tests that all of them go through to say, yes, I am now a good doctor.

01:25:28.000 I am qualified to be a good doctor.

01:25:29.000 When I say I want the government out of education, I don't just mean my kids' education.

01:25:32.000 I mean all education entirely.

01:25:34.000 That's why I'm like- You never should have been involved in education.

01:25:36.000 Trump saying free university is exactly what he's trying to do.

01:25:39.000 It's terrible.

01:25:40.000 But there's something, like you don't want one school teaching that 2 plus 2 equals 5 and another school teaching that it equals 4.

01:25:45.000 You gotta have some government oversight because then everyone will be confused and argue and go to war.

01:25:49.000 Would you put your kid in the school that teaches 2 plus 2 equals 5?

01:25:52.000 I wouldn't, but if my parents thought it equaled 5, they probably would have put me in that school.

01:25:55.000 Yeah, well... And so we have a federal government that's like, no, we're gonna have some standardization.

01:25:59.000 It's terrible.

01:26:00.000 Kids aren't standardized at all.

01:26:01.000 Well, some of it like you ever been around children.

01:26:03.000 Yeah, they're all different everyone.

01:26:05.000 Yeah, but if they were being taught that words meant different things, that would be a big

01:26:08.000 problem. So we need some standardization.

01:26:10.000 Otherwise, we'd go to war.

01:26:11.000 We need that standardization only because children parents have become entirely

01:26:16.000 disinterested with their children's education.

01:26:18.000 That's the only part.

01:26:19.000 They're disinterested in their kids.

01:26:20.000 Yeah, entirely.

01:26:21.000 Also, if a private schools wanted to tweak kids and there was no government oversight,

01:26:25.000 they could like make little terrorists or make people think the wrong thing.

01:26:29.000 Slightly like the government is doing this now in a bunch of states.

01:26:32.000 Well, that's a problem.

01:26:33.000 It but it is you go to a bigger purveyor of what you're talking.

01:26:36.000 The government's too involved, but I don't think no government in education.

01:26:40.000 No government education at all.

01:26:41.000 At all, 100%.

01:26:42.000 There used to be no government in education, and kids could go to their local schools, they could go to any school they wanted to.

01:26:49.000 They learned all the things that helped build this country without the government in any state telling them what they had to do in education.

01:26:56.000 What year?

01:26:56.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:26:58.000 The majority of the... The federal government got involved in the 70s, but the states have been involved for quite some time.

01:27:03.000 But prior to that, the state governments weren't involved in education.

01:27:05.000 Actually, you know when they started getting involved?

01:27:07.000 No, I don't know. 1980.

01:27:08.000 D.O.E.

01:27:09.000 That's the Department of Education.

01:27:11.000 But there's been state involvement in schools much longer than that, but not that much longer.

01:27:16.000 1867 was the Office of Education.

01:27:17.000 Yeah, that's probably because the Civil War happened and they were like, we can't let that happen again.

01:27:21.000 We need to teach these people the same thing.

01:27:25.000 I don't know.

01:27:25.000 I think just ultimately government doesn't want you to have an independent life outside of its purview, right?

01:27:31.000 And so maybe it was a civil war, but ultimately as soon as they started saying, hey, it turns out we can have a say in your domestic life if we mandate that your children go to school, right?

01:27:41.000 There has always been a tendency toward creeping reach into influence, and I think the issue is ultimately that the government doesn't know better than parents.

01:27:51.000 I could get the argument that you want to say that information is standardized, but knowing that 2 plus 2 equals 4 is Basic logic.

01:27:58.000 I mean that's a refutable.

01:27:59.000 I live in Iowa.

01:28:00.000 It's like one of the most free education States in the country.

01:28:05.000 I mean as far as Education freedom goes you can homeschool your children and you don't have to tell the government anything at all You can just petition your local school district when they're 18 and you think they've gone far enough to get them their diploma So like do you think the government should come in and tell us we can't do we can't homeschool our kids anymore the way that we are I don't know.

01:28:24.000 It depends on what you're teaching them, I guess.

01:28:25.000 Why?

01:28:25.000 Because if you're teaching them that killing is good, that's a big problem.

01:28:28.000 Okay, well... Murder is good, that would be a big problem.

01:28:30.000 Sure.

01:28:31.000 Murder is illegal.

01:28:32.000 The best argument... So if my kids kill somebody, they're gonna get arrested. 0.90

01:28:34.000 That's already illegal.

01:28:35.000 But if, like, a state was teaching their kids, like, it's okay to steal this, like, there are some laws... You just said a state, though.

01:28:41.000 That's a government.

01:28:42.000 Yeah, if there were children within a state all being self-schooled to think that things that were illegal were legal, like, you need some oversight of some structure.

01:28:50.000 We don't have any in Iowa at all.

01:28:52.000 Everybody's just fine.

01:28:53.000 The only compelling argument I've ever heard for having, you know, minimal government involvement with homeschooling, and because, you know, Iowa doesn't have any, but some states have more than others.

01:29:02.000 So you can look these up online.

01:29:04.000 There'll be, you know, blogs or whatever that rate it.

01:29:06.000 Like New York state has high regulation.

01:29:08.000 It's very difficult to homeschool in New York.

01:29:11.000 West Virginia is sort of middle tier.

01:29:12.000 And one of the things that comes up when you enroll in homeschooling is some states require

01:29:17.000 you to do a certain number of standardized tests to prove that your kid is learning or

01:29:22.000 meeting certain criteria, or you have to submit your curriculum.

01:29:25.000 Some state governments require that.

01:29:26.000 Dr. Greer I contend that putting the government into education has had a huge, huge hand in tearing it apart.

01:29:31.000 Dr. Laura Bain The only time I've ever heard anyone make a compelling argument was this one social worker who said,

01:29:35.000 the thing is I just wouldn't want a student to not be enrolled in any school and for us

01:29:38.000 to never know what happened to them.

01:29:41.000 that interesting because they're making a direct child welfare argument, right?

01:29:44.000 Like, if a kid is in a, you know, domestically violent home, if they just get lifted out of the system, if they never go to school, you wonder what happened.

01:29:51.000 I mean, you do hear cases like that.

01:29:52.000 But to me, that speaks to the fact that we don't have strong communities around them that would let children just fall off the map.

01:29:57.000 Yeah.

01:29:58.000 And that's what I was going to say.

01:29:59.000 It's definitely contributed to the downfall of, like, strong families and strong communities entirely.

01:30:04.000 Yeah.

01:30:05.000 Just putting the government and education at all.

01:30:07.000 And forcing families into education.

01:30:09.000 Kids, if a kid doesn't go to school, they'll arrest the parents.

01:30:12.000 Yes.

01:30:13.000 That's crazy.

01:30:14.000 It's kind of like this is a good piece of the argument of centralization versus decentralization.

01:30:21.000 We need some of both.

01:30:22.000 I mean, I think I air towards decentralization as on a whole, but without any centralization, we would have no federal authority.

01:30:28.000 We would have no state.

01:30:29.000 We'd have no United States.

01:30:30.000 States wouldn't be united because there was no central authority.

01:30:31.000 You don't have to sell it to me.

01:30:33.000 I'm already a fan.

01:30:37.000 A bunch of small, small states instead of one big country.

01:30:41.000 Yeah.

01:30:42.000 I've heard that somewhere.

01:30:43.000 50 of them?

01:30:44.000 5,000 Lichtensteins, buddy.

01:30:45.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:30:46.000 That's from Hans-Hermann Hoppe himself.

01:30:48.000 I think one of the hard things about the bound—and I always had a hard—one of the struggles I had with libertarians is that I was really interested in foster care and seeing foster care reform, but ultimately the question is always like, Does the government get to say you're a bad parent?

01:31:01.000 Although we know there are people who should not be parenting, who are not safe parents, who are, you know, at what point do we intervene?

01:31:07.000 And what frustrates me is that libertarians always fall back on, well, aren't there churches or non-profits to fix that?

01:31:13.000 But we know, of course, any institution of power could be potentially corrupt, and it's very challenging to deal with children.

01:31:18.000 And so I think you come into the same kind of obstacles with questions about education, which is that as much as there are lovely, strong parents who, even if they don't know something, they are willing to push and help their students, there are also parents who just don't care and who have these kids who they are ultimately not that interested in or they're detached from.

01:31:35.000 And how do you make sure those students have, you know, something better?

01:31:39.000 And it's hard.

01:31:40.000 Yeah, we adopted two.

01:31:41.000 We have two adopted kids.

01:31:42.000 They're actually my oldest daughter's younger siblings.

01:31:46.000 Part of that, when we adopted them from Arkansas, part of that deal was that they had to be

01:31:49.000 in some type of public education when we got them.

01:31:52.000 Yeah, and but thankfully, we're in Iowa where they have community choice charter schools,

01:31:57.000 which are super community-based.

01:31:59.000 You have the opportunity to go down and be a part of the curriculum.

01:32:01.000 You get to join the administration team and all kinds of stuff.

01:32:04.000 And so we were able to use those because we live in Iowa as a public school and they got

01:32:09.000 a better education that way.

01:32:10.000 But even then, they were like – my son was nine when we got him and he had never been

01:32:17.000 to school at nine years old, not a single day of school.

01:32:20.000 Nobody had taught him nothing.

01:32:21.000 He taught himself how to read in the back of a car.

01:32:24.000 And so we – putting him in the public education system was very hard for him, like extremely

01:32:30.000 hard for him because they were like, well, he's supposed to be in fourth grade.

01:32:33.000 We want to put him in fourth grade.

01:32:34.000 I'm like, Whoa, man, he's never been to school, you know?

01:32:36.000 And so we had to like do a bunch of wraparound programs and guy was at school with him and my wife was at school with them and, and, you know, it took him some time, but he's caught up now it's in seventh grade.

01:32:47.000 You know, if we had had the chance to just homeschool him, we could have got him through it a lot better.

01:32:53.000 And maybe more smoothly.

01:32:54.000 Yeah, much more smoothly, with less frustration from him, too.

01:32:58.000 But homeschooling is a big... I mean, I think homeschooling is great.

01:33:01.000 You know, I have family members who homeschool, but it's not without its sacrifices, right?

01:33:04.000 It's an extremely difficult thing to do.

01:33:06.000 I understand there are families that rely on, you know, a community school or a public school in town because otherwise they can't work jobs or do whatever they need to do.

01:33:15.000 It's the fact that ultimately the state knows that that's where families are vulnerable and sees as a place to, you know, influence your children when you need community support.

01:33:23.000 I mean, that's what theoretically your local elementary school should be.

01:33:25.000 It was like Dewey who kind of started this really like this Dewey of the federal like really like authoritarian school structure that we have now.

01:33:33.000 I think it's gone too far.

01:33:34.000 I think we're going to super chats.

01:33:35.000 I could tell Tim's about to raise the bar.

01:34:00.000 Congratulations.

01:34:02.000 Sammy Spills the tea says, absolutely love this podcast and all that you do, Tim.

01:34:05.000 The crew you have is amazing.

01:34:07.000 Thank you!

01:34:07.000 The crew is amazing.

01:34:08.000 They do excellent work in making all this possible.

01:34:11.000 Grofty pops in, saying, I will be waiting for a few minutes, but I'm here.

01:34:15.000 Thank you.

01:34:16.000 Alright, Timmy J says, Eric Erickson called you and Candace Owens anti-semites on his podcast today.

01:34:22.000 He said he don't know you enough.

01:34:24.000 Eric Erickson, who is that?

01:34:26.000 I don't know.

01:34:26.000 I don't know him enough to comment on that.

01:34:28.000 I'm really sick of people saying anti-stuff.

01:34:30.000 The anti-semi thing just makes me laugh at this point. 0.99

01:34:32.000 I'm done with anti-crap. 0.99

01:34:34.000 I'm done with it. 0.97

01:34:34.000 It doesn't mean anything. 0.97

01:34:35.000 Tell me what you are.

01:34:37.000 Yeah, I honestly don't care if you call me an anti-Semite or a Nazi or any of that stuff.

01:34:41.000 I'm still gonna give you my entire, like, truthful opinion on geopolitics.

01:34:46.000 No matter what you call me, I don't care.

01:34:48.000 Anyone saying that, that's just like your opinion, man.

01:34:50.000 Like, you can say that, I guess.

01:34:52.000 I've been called an anti-Semite more over the last three weeks than I ever have in my entire life, ever.

01:34:56.000 And it's only because I'm like, hey, maybe children shouldn't be dying for your wars of politics, right?

01:35:02.000 Like, it's absolutely insane to me.

01:35:04.000 Taking crazy positions out there. 0.85

01:35:05.000 I think the Palestinians are Semites, too. 0.95

01:35:07.000 Yes, that's the other thing.

01:35:08.000 They are.

01:35:08.000 A lot of Arabs are Semites as well.

01:35:10.000 It's all about language.

01:35:12.000 It's really what it is.

01:35:13.000 I mean, most of these labels don't mean anything because they get thrown around all the time anyways.

01:35:17.000 Well, it's so funny to me because, obviously, Israel's huge right now. 0.95

01:35:21.000 This is a big, giant topic, right?

01:35:23.000 But they've always framed it, at least for most of my life, as this giant holy war.

01:35:28.000 We were talking about this before the show.

01:35:29.000 But it's not a holy war.

01:35:30.000 It's not the Muslims versus the Jews.

01:35:32.000 It's the Zionists versus the Palestinians. 0.99

01:35:34.000 It's a war.

01:35:35.000 It's a political war.

01:35:36.000 100% it's a political war.

01:35:38.000 Yeah.

01:35:38.000 Meaning that it's the state is trying to take land?

01:35:41.000 They have.

01:35:42.000 I mean, they have been.

01:35:43.000 If you look at the history of the Zionists, and the funny thing, too, is, first of all, there's this divine claim to Israel. 0.86

01:35:50.000 Israel is actually, in the Bible, it is the descendants of Abraham.

01:35:55.000 It's a citizenship of the heart for anybody who accepts Christ as the Messiah.

01:36:01.000 And the people who live there today do not accept Christ as the Messiah.

01:36:04.000 But the Jews don't follow the New Testament. 0.98

01:36:06.000 Right.

01:36:08.000 But they're saying that they have this divine right.

01:36:11.000 In their book they do.

01:36:13.000 But you've got to understand that to say that that's Israel when it wasn't Israel was Palestine, right?

01:36:20.000 But it was Israel before.

01:36:21.000 And prior to that, it was the land of Canaan, right?

01:36:24.000 It was Assyria before that.

01:36:25.000 I mean, it was Assyria before that.

01:36:26.000 It was the Ottoman Empire.

01:36:27.000 I mean, you're talking thousands of years here.

01:36:31.000 So, again, once again, it's a weird thing for me, because Max Blumenthal brought this up.

01:36:35.000 He was like, this is, it was Palestine.

01:36:38.000 And before that, it was the descendants of the Jews who were conquered by Muslims. 0.88

01:36:42.000 And I was like, okay, so the Jews are conquering the land back? 0.99

01:36:44.000 Like, bro, there's no argument of someone being like, you want to Hatfields and McCoy this thing all the way back to the dawn of time, fine, so be it.

01:36:54.000 But if your argument is, it was conquered before, so therefore it's Palestine, I'm like, oh, okay, so they're getting conquered now. 0.58

01:36:58.000 Sounds like the colonizers are getting colonized!

01:37:01.000 And they're getting comeuppance.

01:37:02.000 Is that the argument?

01:37:02.000 No, but you do also have to understand that when the Zionists moved in to Israel, they were living with the Muslims, right?

01:37:08.000 But there was also Christians that lived there that have been displaced as well.

01:37:11.000 And still today, 7% of Palestine is Christians.

01:37:15.000 Right now.

01:37:15.000 The third oldest church in the entire world.

01:37:17.000 None of that matters.

01:37:18.000 It does.

01:37:19.000 I think it does matter.

01:37:20.000 I think when you're talking about the geopolitics of it, if in this lifetime, in this generation and the last generation, those people lived on that land too, It doesn't matter because these don't present any solutions to the conflict.

01:37:32.000 It's come in and choose a side and then start fighting about it.

01:37:36.000 And I don't want to choose a side at all.

01:37:38.000 You really want to distinguish Israeli and Jew.

01:37:41.000 It's very important that they're two completely different.

01:37:43.000 The country of Israel and the Zionists, meaning the people that wanted to create a country of Israel, it's totally different than someone that's Jewish. 0.98

01:37:50.000 They're not the same in any way.

01:37:51.000 In fact, there's a lot of Jews today, and there's video of it all over today, that there's Jews being beaten in the street by Zionists.

01:37:57.000 Police for protesting against the dead children in Palestine.

01:38:02.000 Right now, it's happening right now.

01:38:03.000 Do you know that for sure?

01:38:04.000 Yeah, I saw the videos of it.

01:38:05.000 I watched the videos of it.

01:38:06.000 Watching a video doesn't mean you know why the fight happened.

01:38:09.000 And I'm so fed up with all of the lies.

01:38:12.000 There was no refugee camp, that was a lie. 1.00

01:38:14.000 On both sides.

01:38:15.000 What was the lie from Israel? 0.84

01:38:18.000 I mean, there's none.

01:38:19.000 I mean, look, I can tell you the examples we have right now.

01:38:22.000 How about this?

01:38:23.000 I know they're saying that war was declared on October 7th, right by Hamas. 0.97

01:38:28.000 Nobody's going to dispute that.

01:38:28.000 OK, I think I think Netanyahu is the one who declared the war.

01:38:32.000 Sure.

01:38:33.000 But well, come on, they Hamas attack Hamas attack and declared war.

01:38:36.000 But do you know that since January of this year?

01:38:40.000 In times of peace, 200 Palestinians have been killed by IDF, right?

01:38:44.000 I don't know.

01:38:45.000 That matters.

01:38:46.000 Does it?

01:38:46.000 Yes, because Hamas flew over, tore down fencing, killed a bunch of civilians.

01:38:52.000 In October 7th.

01:38:54.000 And then saying something like 200 Palestinians died, I'm like, okay, what happened?

01:38:58.000 How many Hamas soldiers died on October 7th?

01:39:00.000 I don't know.

01:39:01.000 A lot.

01:39:02.000 You should know, right?

01:39:03.000 I mean, if you're going to use this as an argument, because the argument would be... No, I'm not.

01:39:05.000 This isn't my argument.

01:39:06.000 My argument is that these tensions have been going on for years and years and years and years, and they've been killing... Both sides have been killing each other for a long time.

01:39:12.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:39:12.000 But there's a big difference between, like, over the span of several months, for a reason we have not yet determined, 200 Palestinians died.

01:39:19.000 It doesn't answer how many Israelis died.

01:39:21.000 It also doesn't correlate with...

01:39:27.000 And that's why that number doesn't mean anything.

01:39:31.000 It doesn't mean anything.

01:39:32.000 So when I say that the history of the region in terms of like it was this country before this country before this country doesn't solve the problem today.

01:39:39.000 So you've got Israel and Palestine fighting.

01:39:41.000 We say, what's the solution to stop the conflict right now?

01:39:45.000 Okay, well, Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th in a brutal, horrifying way.

01:39:49.000 Now Israel is airstriking Gaza.

01:39:52.000 Thousands of civilians are dying.

01:39:55.000 I think there's a fair argument for a ceasefire only in the context of we do not want regional conflict, which is happening.

01:40:02.000 It's starting.

01:40:02.000 The Hezbollah's firing shells today.

01:40:06.000 And then the Houthis in Yemen are launching attacks.

01:40:10.000 Iran's backing all of them. 0.56

01:40:11.000 And now it's pulling everybody in.

01:40:13.000 Plus, Israel's been bombing Syria.

01:40:15.000 This is bubbling up.

01:40:15.000 It's getting massive.

01:40:16.000 The only reason to call for a ceasefire is not because of a moral stance on who is allowed or not to do it.

01:40:20.000 It's because, guys, stop fighting before the whole world blows up.

01:40:22.000 We're not going to get a ceasefire.

01:40:23.000 And do you want to hear my conspiracy theory on this?

01:40:25.000 This is a conspiracy theory.

01:40:26.000 I have nothing to back this up.

01:40:28.000 But the West has wanted war with Iran for a long time.

01:40:32.000 That's undisputable, right?

01:40:34.000 And so putting boots on the ground, Western boots on the ground in Palestine is going 0.88

01:40:39.000 to – Paul Mueller They're doing it.

01:40:41.000 Trey Lockerbie Yes, and it's going to hugely increase the chances of terrorist attacks in the West, which is

01:40:46.000 exactly what happened on 9-11 that gave them all the support they needed to go into

01:40:51.000 Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria later, Yemen, these places that they needed to go, right? 0.92

01:40:57.000 This 11 countries or whatever that they wanted to go to war with.

01:41:00.000 They know 100% that when they put boots on the ground, in Palestine, there's going to be terrorist attacks in the 0.59

01:41:06.000 West, they're going to get the support that they need for war with Iran.

01:41:09.000 That's what they've been pushing for.

01:41:11.000 It is a fact, according to the New York Times and the Times of Israel, that U.S. Special

01:41:15.000 Forces are in Israel assisting with recovery of hostages.

01:41:18.000 Now, that's the extent of the statement.

01:41:21.000 Right.

01:41:21.000 But you'd be insane not to think that as- Special forces.

01:41:26.000 Exactly.

01:41:27.000 They don't stand there and liaise with Israel.

01:41:29.000 No.

01:41:29.000 They go get them.

01:41:31.000 And with Israel now cutting Gaza in half, the assumption is U.S.

01:41:35.000 forces are already fighting.

01:41:36.000 Plus, there have been reporters on the ground who have stated this already.

01:41:39.000 Rumors, because it's hard to confirm these things, but if the official reporting is Special forces are there.

01:41:45.000 Then a reporter says, hey, Americans are in Gaza fighting.

01:41:48.000 It stands to reason that's likely the case.

01:41:50.000 According to Bloomberg, the U.S.

01:41:52.000 held secret meetings discussing U.S.

01:41:55.000 troops occupying Gaza after this operation ends.

01:41:59.000 So yes.

01:41:59.000 Right.

01:42:00.000 Iran.

01:42:01.000 They know.

01:42:01.000 We should go deep on the after show.

01:42:02.000 That's what they're trying to do.

01:42:03.000 On Israel-Palestine conflict.

01:42:05.000 I want to go deeper.

01:42:05.000 Yeah, we can go deeper on it for sure.

01:42:06.000 There's a lot.

01:42:07.000 I got a lot more to say.

01:42:07.000 Let's read some more.

01:42:08.000 So I looked up Eric Erickson.

01:42:09.000 He's a personality.

01:42:10.000 Hello?

01:42:11.000 Whoa.

01:42:12.000 What was that?

01:42:13.000 Awesome.

01:42:15.000 Your phone.

01:42:16.000 No, that was, uh, we're in the Discord channel.

01:42:19.000 Someone went in- Oh, I see.

01:42:21.000 Yeah, why are we in the Discord channel?

01:42:22.000 That's not supposed to happen.

01:42:23.000 Well, that was terrifying.

01:42:24.000 Yeah, just a bright hello from someone who popped in, and there you go.

01:42:27.000 No, thank you!

01:42:29.000 Yeah, sorry about that.

01:42:30.000 Well, there you go.

01:42:30.000 Let's read.

01:42:31.000 Eric Erickson is like a conservative personality or whatever.

01:42:33.000 I think it's funny that I'm getting a bunch of people calling me an Israeli Zionist shill, and then Eric Erickson allegedly, according to this tweet, is calling me an anti-Semite or something.

01:42:41.000 Yeah, it's either way.

01:42:43.000 There's nothing you can do about it, I guess.

01:42:44.000 You can make no one happy.

01:42:45.000 Yeah, you've been pretty pro-Israel to be calling it anti-Semite, right?

01:42:50.000 I mean, I'm pro-Israel in the extent of October 7th.

01:42:53.000 Like, I'm not gonna get into the history of the region, and I can only tell you now that when people make moral arguments about what Israel did in the past versus what Hamas did on October 7th... Or what Israel's doing right now, too.

01:43:02.000 I'm just like, none of this is solving anything.

01:43:04.000 Right.

01:43:04.000 You know, and then they're like, yeah, well, Israel's right to defend itself, blah blah blah, and I'm like...

01:43:08.000 Sure, like, I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is not going to solve any of the problems.

01:43:12.000 No, it's going to make it much worse.

01:43:13.000 It's all going to get way worse.

01:43:14.000 So I don't have any moral answers for anybody other than Hamas did a whole bunch of awful things, and then the left keeps lying about all of it. 0.56

01:43:20.000 Right.

01:43:20.000 And so what bothers me is that, oh, a hospital was bombed.

01:43:24.000 Psych!

01:43:24.000 Not really.

01:43:25.000 Oh, a refugee camp was bombed.

01:43:26.000 Psych!

01:43:26.000 Not really.

01:43:27.000 And then I'm like, I'm done.

01:43:28.000 And then they're like, yeah, well, Israel is bombing civilians.

01:43:31.000 I'm like, yeah, but all of those stories turn out to be lies.

01:43:34.000 No, they're definitely bought.

01:43:35.000 There's a lot of Syrians.

01:43:35.000 For sure!

01:43:36.000 Of course, of course.

01:43:37.000 Thousands.

01:43:37.000 Except the two big ones that were Cassius Belli for these other countries and militia groups to get involved were fake.

01:43:43.000 And I'm just like, at this point, I'm done listening to people who, in their own doctrine, say lie to me to gain political power.

01:43:50.000 I don't care about Israel. 0.98

01:43:52.000 Like, they're a country that exists.

01:43:54.000 There's a war going on.

01:43:54.000 You should care more about Israel.

01:43:55.000 I care about Israel as much as I care about Myanmar.

01:43:57.000 Because Israel has a ton of influence on your politics here in the United States.

01:44:02.000 And I care about Israel as much as I care about Myanmar and Armenia.

01:44:06.000 Are there problems in Armenia with the Christians?

01:44:07.000 You bet, it's horrifying.

01:44:08.000 We should talk about it.

01:44:09.000 I care about Israel as much as that and these other countries.

01:44:12.000 Nobody's talking about those countries. 0.97

01:44:13.000 The psychotic, psychotic, psychotic obsession with Israel is the most annoying thing in the world to me.

01:44:19.000 It's just like, there's some people who just cannot talk about anything else.

01:44:26.000 And I'm like, geez, you have people on Twitter that will have a calm, rational conversation

01:44:31.000 with you about anything.

01:44:32.000 And then as soon as Israel comes up, they'll start talking about nuking Gaza. 0.94

01:44:35.000 And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.95

01:44:37.000 And calling you an anti-Semite if you don't want any dead children too. 0.61

01:44:39.000 And I'm like, can we talk about Burma?

01:44:41.000 You're not passionate about Burma?

01:44:43.000 I mean, like- Or Yemen, Yemen.

01:44:45.000 My top passion is- 1948, the Burma-Myanmar conflict,

01:44:48.000 200 plus thousand dead, nobody cares.

01:44:51.000 I mean, the Yemen humanitarian crisis just stopped.

01:44:55.000 Like literally 500,000 dead children due to foreign policy,

01:44:58.000 like US foreign policy in Saudi Arabia.

01:45:00.000 And like nobody said a word.

01:45:02.000 I always say this, our priority should be what's happening in the US.

01:45:05.000 You can't be compassionate or empathetic to what's going on outside the US, but how can we have this conversation about what we should be doing in an interventionist fashion when we don't secure our own border? 0.72

01:45:16.000 It's ridiculous. 0.87

01:45:16.000 Let's read some more. 0.87

01:45:19.000 Bender the Offender says, Tim, I do not think that a majority of states would abolish or ban no-fault divorce due to the fact that states get a financial percentage from the divorcees. 0.94

01:45:28.000 However, I did see that the GOP was going after no-fault divorce thoughts.

01:45:32.000 No-fault divorce should be abolished, and I believe that along with it, it will take child support with it.

01:45:38.000 I think child support is overwhelmingly a really, really awful and evil thing.

01:45:41.000 Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.

01:45:43.000 This is part of my platform for president, by the way.

01:45:45.000 What is it?

01:45:46.000 Explain.

01:45:46.000 So, the lamest, most basic terms for Title IV-D of the Social Security Act is for every 66 cents that a state spends on child support enforcement, welfare programs, stuff like that, the federal government returns them a dollar for every 66 cents they spend.

01:46:04.000 So, essentially, what the federal government has now done has subsidized the state with To separate families so they can treat one custodial parent that has the child all the time and one as a visitor so they can take revenue from them.

01:46:17.000 And for every dollar they collect from them, or for every 66 cents they collect from them, the federal government gives them a dollar back.

01:46:23.000 But also, through No Fault Divorce and other things including these programs that states have, we've incentivized women most of the time, 96.7% of the time it's the woman. 1.00

01:46:32.000 To split up the family and get paid and you have to pay for her life and your child's life and your own life and then you get to see your child every other Sunday night.

01:46:39.000 Child support in almost all forms should be abolished because it is an incentive and a safety net to tell anyone, but typically women, that if you break up your family With no fault, the man is on the hook.

01:46:54.000 You have a say.

01:46:54.000 Don't worry about it.

01:46:55.000 Title 40 of the Social Security Act will take care of a lot of that.

01:46:58.000 Divorce should be only in the instances of fault, abuse, infidelity.

01:47:03.000 And it will typically be men.

01:47:05.000 If a man is abusing his wife, sorry buddy, you gotta pay child support and a lot.

01:47:10.000 If a guy is committing infidelity, you broke the rules, you broke the terms of your agreement, you gotta pay child support.

01:47:18.000 But if you have a man and a woman who are married, and the woman just says, I'm not into it anymore, I'm getting a divorce, and you have to pay? 0.51

01:47:24.000 Nope!

01:47:25.000 That should be abolished.

01:47:26.000 And the guy should be like, well, you chose to break the family up, here's how it should work.

01:47:29.000 Joint custody!

01:47:31.000 And then the guy says, I'll pay for the kids when I have the kids and you pay for the kids when you have the kids.

01:47:34.000 No question.

01:47:35.000 There should be no incentive.

01:47:37.000 Equal responsibility.

01:47:37.000 Equal responsibility and no incentive for anyone to get a divorce knowing the other partner, typically the man, has to pay for it.

01:47:44.000 I talked a lot about this on the last show I was on with you already, but the amount of fatherless homes in America is one in four.

01:47:50.000 One in four kids lives in a fatherless home.

01:47:53.000 82% of all violent youth offenders sitting in jail today are from a fatherless home.

01:48:00.000 92% of mass shooters are from a fatherless home.

01:48:02.000 These are undeniable statistics.

01:48:03.000 This was Larry Elder's big thing.

01:48:04.000 He announced his candidacy.

01:48:05.000 He led off with the fact that the fatherless epidemic is the thing driving social destruction in America.

01:48:11.000 It is the absolute worst thing that we face as Americans today.

01:48:14.000 It has bred an entire generation of apathetic, violent children.

01:48:19.000 And it's solvable.

01:48:20.000 I mean, we could change the culture.

01:48:21.000 And the stats are undeniable.

01:48:23.000 But we'd have to acknowledge that this is an issue and you'd have to fight the idea that, like, no, it's great if we have, you know, unmarried couples, single moms who depend on the government, which is obviously not what one party in particular wants.

01:48:33.000 I want to read this.

01:48:34.000 Federale Actual says, I'm literally out of discretionary funds, but had to tip one last time hearing that Tim is hiring skaters who speak out.

01:48:42.000 Keep going, guys.

01:48:43.000 Spiral out and vote for Josh Smith.

01:48:45.000 Was I first?

01:48:45.000 You were far from first.

01:48:46.000 But I want to stress this point.

01:48:48.000 Yes.

01:48:49.000 I don't know if it's up yet, but it's called The Boonies.

01:48:51.000 It's our skate show.

01:48:52.000 We were just having a meeting over the new skate park designs.

01:48:55.000 We are bringing on a series of pro skaters.

01:48:58.000 We filmed with a bunch of semi-pro Ams, and we're doing tips for tricks, cash, Two skateboarders!

01:49:05.000 Oh, it is the most glorious thing ever. 0.99

01:49:07.000 Because there are some skateboarders who are just cowards, absolute cowards. 0.98

01:49:10.000 And they're like, I'm scared to come and skate your park because then someone might yell at me on the internet. 0.99

01:49:15.000 And I'm like, then there's no money here for you, but it's your choice.

01:49:18.000 Then there are other skaters who are like, I don't care what people on the internet say, let's go!

01:49:21.000 And they show up and do awesome tricks.

01:49:23.000 The point of this is, you know what the hardest thing in the culture war is?

01:49:27.000 Inspiring young people.

01:49:29.000 Sure.

01:49:30.000 So many people, I don't have kids.

01:49:32.000 Working on it, none of your business.

01:49:34.000 But everyone's always like, where are your kids?

01:49:36.000 Well, it's a private family matter, but not that you're asking.

01:49:39.000 But making sure that the next generation holds our values is quite literally the apex of our mission.

01:49:48.000 That's the only thing that matters.

01:49:49.000 Sure.

01:49:50.000 You can say, right now, I wish the system was this way.

01:49:53.000 What you need to be saying and understanding is, the system changes when you share those ideas with young people who can then start working towards expanding those ideas as they grow older and growing into it.

01:50:05.000 If you do nothing, they're all communists.

01:50:07.000 Also, let me say, if you're waiting for things to get better to have children, don't.

01:50:11.000 They're not going to get any better.

01:50:12.000 You've got to have kids now. 0.97

01:50:14.000 It's a myth.

01:50:14.000 Yeah, the guy who had seven kids while living in the middle of the woods 300 years ago was not waiting for it to get better.

01:50:19.000 Actually, the kids were making it better.

01:50:20.000 He was like, we need kids who can help do work.

01:50:22.000 If we're going to survive, build a tribe!

01:50:23.000 Strong men create good times, and you can only make strong kids if you're having them.

01:50:28.000 So this is the point when Federale says he's out of money, but he's tipping anyway.

01:50:31.000 I really do appreciate it, and I just want to stress This is the point, this is the mission.

01:50:36.000 We were talking about money before the show, and I'm like, man, if I just did my one YouTube channel in the morning, and the morning show podcast, I am wealthy, and I have the rest of the day off, and I don't gotta worry about any responsibility.

01:50:50.000 Instead, I've decided to take on a whole bunch of extra work to try and build culture.

01:50:56.000 Music, skateboarding, coffee shop, whatever we can, because that's the key path to victory, and it is, Arduous.

01:51:04.000 It is strenuous.

01:51:06.000 It is stressful.

01:51:07.000 But it's worth it.

01:51:08.000 I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression.

01:51:11.000 Obviously, building a company builds my net worth at the same time.

01:51:13.000 It's not like I'm just flushing money down the toilet.

01:51:15.000 But there's a lot of other easier things I could do with all the money made from just one YouTube channel and just programmatic ads.

01:51:22.000 Yeah, but if you just sit around and do that, they'll make CBDC and then ban you for saying something they don't like.

01:51:26.000 You gotta move.

01:51:26.000 Exactly.

01:51:28.000 Exactly.

01:51:29.000 That, I don't know, I just feel like doing it.

01:51:31.000 Diversify your portfolio.

01:51:33.000 If you woke up tomorrow and you had a million dollars clean cash in your bank account, what would you do?

01:51:36.000 It's a lesson I learned a long time ago. I'll ask you right now if you woke up tomorrow and you had a million dollars

01:51:43.000 Clean cash in your bank account. What would you do invest 75% of it?

01:51:48.000 So there's three tiers of answers that the So this is a question typically asked of venture capitalists.

01:51:54.000 There's three tiers of the answers.

01:51:56.000 One is, the ideal answer is the direct response of, oh man, a million bucks?

01:52:02.000 We are looking at this new property where we can start producing more of our product.

01:52:06.000 If I had 300,000, that's the answer they're looking for.

01:52:08.000 The second answer is what you said.

01:52:10.000 I would invest.

01:52:10.000 Okay, well, it's a little vague, but that's good because it means if I give you money, you're looking to make money with it.

01:52:15.000 And the worst answer, which is 95% of the answers is, Oh, man.

01:52:19.000 Vacation.

01:52:20.000 Vacation!

01:52:21.000 Like, aw, dude, I'd get a new car, and I'd pay off my bills, and it's like, I will never give you a penny.

01:52:26.000 And so, when people ask, if someone were to ask me, like, if you were given a million dollars, Tim, right now, what would you buy with it?

01:52:32.000 I'd be like, oh, I'd just hire someone to make a couple documentaries to try and win the culture war, I guess.

01:52:36.000 That's literally the only thing I care about.

01:52:37.000 You know?

01:52:40.000 I could live in a van down by the river and be happy, but in terms of what I want to buy with things is people doing awesome stuff to win.

01:52:48.000 Just also remember the other most important thing you can do to win the culture war is to have children and raise them to be free-thinking, independent humans.

01:52:57.000 Very, very important.

01:52:58.000 Going places you don't normally go and interacting with people you don't normally interact with is vastly powerful.

01:53:04.000 Yeah, it can be, for sure.

01:53:06.000 Absolutely.

01:53:06.000 All right.

01:53:07.000 Here we go.

01:53:07.000 Let's read some more.

01:53:10.000 Riley Lewin says, Ian Freeman was sentenced to 96 months in federal prison for selling Bitcoin without sufficient investigations into his willing customers in early October.

01:53:19.000 Not the first or the last, unfortunately.

01:53:21.000 Yeah, there's a few.

01:53:22.000 The Crypto 6 or something like that from New Hampshire, he was part of that. 1.00

01:53:27.000 I don't know all the details of the court case, so I'm not going to comment on it too much.

01:53:31.000 Ian Freeman has a podcast community that he puts my podcast on for me all the time.

01:53:36.000 He's a pretty cool guy.

01:53:37.000 Reeby Cheap says, to be honest, $2,000 isn't enough.

01:53:40.000 This is in reference to a video I made where a woman says she won't sleep with a man until he spends $2,000 on her.

01:53:45.000 And I said she's right.

01:53:46.000 He says, you shouldn't sleep with a man unless he also buys you a $9,000 shiny rock and swears in front of both your families to love you forever.

01:53:53.000 Bingo!

01:53:54.000 I don't know about the $9,000 shiny rock, and the money isn't necessarily what's important.

01:53:58.000 This woman wrote an article where she was like, I heard that some women are saying they'll only sleep with a man if he spends $2,000 on her. 1.00

01:54:03.000 And she's like, I think that's probably a good idea, because I've slept with a bunch of guys, and then they ditched me the next day.

01:54:08.000 And if I wait until they spend this money, maybe they'll stick around.

01:54:11.000 And I'm like, women are starting to rediscover standards again. 1.00

01:54:14.000 I know, it's crazy.

01:54:15.000 Thank goodness.

01:54:15.000 Full circle.

01:54:16.000 She says at the end of the article, actually, what's more important than the money is, what is their job?

01:54:22.000 Do they have debt?

01:54:23.000 Did they go to school?

01:54:23.000 Do they have a stable career?

01:54:25.000 What's their future plans?

01:54:26.000 And I'm like... What's their relationship like with their family, their parents?

01:54:28.000 Yes, and I'm like, these are all the questions we always asked, and then we got rid of it for hookup culture, and now you're realizing that was bad, and hooking up with random guys was bad, and now you're like, maybe I should actually stop, ask these guys about their lives, and if they don't stick around, they weren't worth it in the first place.

01:54:43.000 I think women are also discovering that when you have standards for men, men like to meet the standards.

01:54:48.000 They like to pursue and achieve, right?

01:54:50.000 So if I say, like, I want to be with someone who's high-achieving, that's desirable for someone who also wants to be high-achieving, and that is better for both of us in the long run.

01:54:59.000 If you're expecting very little and the man doesn't have to do anything, like, maybe he'll hang around for a while, but ultimately he is dissatisfied with his life anyways and will move on.

01:55:07.000 It doesn't benefit anyone to have low standards.

01:55:09.000 I said the other day, all this stuff popped up originally with that tweet of the, I don't know, what was it, $200 on the first date or whatever.

01:55:16.000 Yeah.

01:55:17.000 You retweeted my tweet, but I said, when I stopped dating for a fun time and started dating for a long time, I stopped having dates that didn't need reservations.

01:55:25.000 And that's true.

01:55:27.000 When I wanted that quality, I changed my whole life to go get quality.

01:55:32.000 I've been getting into chastity lately, which is just really sex with a purpose, instead of just lust.

01:55:38.000 It's stressful because testosterone's nuts, but it's really rewarding.

01:55:42.000 You've got to meditate.

01:55:43.000 You've got to discipline.

01:55:44.000 You have to be the warrior.

01:55:46.000 Or get married.

01:55:47.000 Start a family.

01:55:49.000 There's two kinds of people.

01:55:50.000 And you can do it whenever you want.

01:55:52.000 Look, you're either in control of yourself or you're being controlled by whims, right?

01:55:58.000 When you wake up, do you decide?

01:56:02.000 Like, I am me and I decide what I do.

01:56:04.000 Or do you just face compulsion within you and say, I'll do whatever I feel.

01:56:09.000 You know what I mean?

01:56:11.000 I think the things you do in life should have purpose and dating is one of those things.

01:56:14.000 Are you an NPC or are you a player character?

01:56:18.000 I'm a player character that means you when your body says I want a large chocolate cake you say I'm not eating that

01:56:23.000 yeah When your body says I don't feel like working out you say 0.88

01:56:25.000 you're damn right. You're working out. Yeah, it's kind of nice

01:56:28.000 That's what rogan said. He has a great quote where he's like, I think it's rogan where he said that inner bitch 0.99

01:56:33.000 says no I don't feel like working out you got to beat it into 0.99

01:56:35.000 submission and then go work out Beat it earlier into submission

01:56:39.000 Yeah, all right here I love this one The Real Hydro PX.

01:56:43.000 We don't read enough of your superchats.

01:56:44.000 It says, Tim is such a pompous person who thinks the people around him don't understand things.

01:56:49.000 It's his insecurities from not having a GED.

01:56:52.000 I had to read it because I love it.

01:56:54.000 And Real Hydro, I really do appreciate it.

01:56:55.000 I think you've given me like $5,000 at this point.

01:56:59.000 From just blasting these superchats all day, every day, just insulting me.

01:57:03.000 Is he right?

01:57:04.000 He's not right.

01:57:05.000 Is he talking about when you explain things that, you know, everyone involved in our conversation listening at home may not know?

01:57:10.000 Like when you explained whatever the, the, uh, CBDC acronym?

01:57:14.000 Yeah.

01:57:14.000 Like, is that what he's referring to?

01:57:15.000 I think he's talking about maybe your guests or something.

01:57:17.000 Some people in the chat were like, what's CBDC?

01:57:19.000 That's why I say it.

01:57:20.000 It's crazy.

01:57:20.000 It's like you're a podcast host.

01:57:21.000 Do you know who Josh Denny is?

01:57:22.000 Maybe.

01:57:22.000 The comedian Josh Denny.

01:57:24.000 Redheaded guy.

01:57:24.000 He was on the Food Network for a while.

01:57:25.000 He's been really cancelled from a lot of things.

01:57:27.000 Sounds familiar.

01:57:28.000 I had him on my show once.

01:57:29.000 And he's got like this dedicated group of like troll haters.

01:57:33.000 We'll go to any media that he does and super chat questions to make fun of him and before the show he goes listen You're gonna get all kinds of super chats of people asking me questions that are derogatory Calling me uber driver and all these things ask everyone He said he said I'll stay on for three hours and get you every super chat you need I was like alright, man.

01:57:54.000 Let's do it.

01:57:54.000 I sounds fun, and we did we said I mean it was great He's like paying for his own ticket out there.

01:57:59.000 He paid for everything.

01:58:00.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:58:01.000 First of all, the main reason I don't read a lot of Hydro's Super Chats is because there's too many of them.

01:58:06.000 And I try to read a bunch of different ones.

01:58:08.000 But I also have no problem reading Super Chats from people who don't like me.

01:58:11.000 I think that's kind of the point, too.

01:58:13.000 But I do think it's just like, this one was particularly good.

01:58:18.000 I don't have a GED or whatever.

01:58:20.000 I'm literally complaining about school saying stop going.

01:58:22.000 The multi-millionaire who doesn't have a GED.

01:58:25.000 I mean, Tim Cross himself is asleep about it.

01:58:26.000 His life is in ruins.

01:58:27.000 It's not that.

01:58:28.000 I'm just begging people to stop going to school and it's like, haha, you wish you did.

01:58:31.000 And I'm like, I genuinely want the school system to be destroyed!

01:58:35.000 That's why I like that one because I have such a hard-on for him.

01:58:39.000 Hating institutionalized learning facilities.

01:58:41.000 That one really... I got my GED with the military.

01:58:44.000 I'm like a dum-dum.

01:58:45.000 GED?

01:58:45.000 What does it even mean?

01:58:46.000 Like, dude... Good enough diploma.

01:58:48.000 But it's not even... Look, I don't know where I learned this or how I learned this, but if you can convince someone you don't need anything.

01:58:56.000 You know, you can walk into any venue you want, meet any celebrity you want, so long as you know how to speak words.

01:59:02.000 That's all you need.

01:59:04.000 And so I'm like, what is this piece of paper going to get me that I can't just say?

01:59:07.000 So you know what I did?

01:59:08.000 You wanna know how easy it is?

01:59:10.000 I went to college for one month at a community college, and then I checked off on every job application, some college.

01:59:15.000 They never asked for a diploma again.

01:59:16.000 No.

01:59:17.000 Didn't need it.

01:59:18.000 Nope.

01:59:19.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:59:20.000 Daniel Caldwell says, hey crew, I'm a logistics coordinator guy in Pittsburgh.

01:59:24.000 I've been site manager for seven Super Bowl halftime shows and best boy for local rigging crews in the Burg.

01:59:30.000 May I be of assistance in your upcoming visit?

01:59:33.000 I'd love to help.

01:59:34.000 The answer is yes, but I don't do the coordination for the live events.

01:59:39.000 We have a live event coordinator and then it's going to be Like, we're a month, maybe two months out from, like, which venue it's gonna be, and then which production company we're gonna use, and so it's hard to just take a Super Chat and be like, we'd love to have you because we don't even know what we're doing.

01:59:54.000 And then what's likely gonna happen is that one guy will say, here's the next guy, and the next guy says, here's the next guy, and then it all, like, falls down like, you know, dominoes.

02:00:01.000 Alright, we'll grab one more.

02:00:03.000 One more Super Chat.

02:00:05.000 For some reason Super Chats just aren't loading.

02:00:06.000 I don't know why.

02:00:07.000 I'm weird.

02:00:08.000 Yeah, I see that.

02:00:09.000 Yep.

02:00:10.000 Alright, Matt Kinder says, Today is my birthday.

02:00:12.000 I watch Timcast every single night.

02:00:13.000 I love the show and I love what you're doing for the culture.

02:00:15.000 Keep up the good work.

02:00:16.000 Happy birthday, Matt!

02:00:17.000 Is that Matt Kinder?

02:00:18.000 Yeah.

02:00:19.000 Yep.

02:00:19.000 Happy birthday, Matt.

02:00:20.000 Happy birthday, Matt.

02:00:21.000 Last one, Waffle Sensei says, Josh, why should I vote for a libertarian when it will not result in a libertarian president?

02:00:27.000 It will help Democrats win. 0.93

02:00:29.000 Voting for Trump saves him from false imprisonment and stands up for the principles of liberty itself.

02:00:33.000 I love these questions.

02:00:34.000 These are my favorite questions.

02:00:35.000 They ask me every single day.

02:00:37.000 First of all, I don't care about your your candidate, honest to God.

02:00:41.000 I've lived through Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Trump, Biden, and my life has never been enriched by a president.

02:00:49.000 Not once.

02:00:50.000 Not one time have they ever made my life better.

02:00:53.000 They never made my family's life better.

02:00:55.000 And like I said earlier in the show, every single piece of bad legislation that's ever gotten through the house and the executive ranch has had bipartisan support.

02:01:04.000 Every single time.

02:01:05.000 And I don't care.

02:01:06.000 I don't care about your candidates anymore, truthfully.

02:01:08.000 But the other thing, too, is like, your candidate doesn't deserve the votes.

02:01:14.000 They have to earn the votes.

02:01:15.000 That's literally what politics is.

02:01:17.000 And here's the best part about this.

02:01:20.000 Voting for a libertarian, especially if you can waste your vote, because libertarian candidates are not going to win presidency in 2024.

02:01:27.000 That's just insane. 0.97

02:01:27.000 If somebody's telling you they are, they're a liar. 0.97

02:01:30.000 Yeah, with that attitude.

02:01:31.000 Well, crazier things have happened, I'm sure.

02:01:34.000 But, you know, if you were to get us that percentage that makes us a national major political party, now you have another party swimming around in the water that actually makes your candidates have to start governing the way that they campaign.

02:01:46.000 And that's a really important thing, right?

02:01:48.000 It's like we've been lied to repeatedly in these campaigns, these high dollar campaigns, while they're stuffing their pockets and doing all this bad stuff and sending all your tax money around all these different countries, 200 countries every year.

02:01:59.000 Right, they never govern the way that they campaign But if you got the 40 year old blue-collar working-class guy that puts his boots on every morning now coming for your long-held position of power Well, you might have to start doing the things you said you were gonna do and so it's just a challenge to the system Yeah, if you believe in the free market, which I like to call the consumer driven market, you know that Competition breeds innovation and breeds success The argument is, typically, if you're in a blue state and you know it's going Democrat, then you can help the Libertarians get a higher percentage and increase their competition, or you can always vote Libertarian locally.

02:02:33.000 It's not always just about presidential.

02:02:34.000 Yeah, there's a lot of local candidates that are really good, and we win a lot.

02:02:39.000 People think that we don't win any races.

02:02:41.000 We win at least 200 in an election cycle of mayors and city councils and all kinds of stuff.
