Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Trump Declares HES RUNNING In Clever Way, Elon Calls For Ron DeSantis w-Vanessa Santos

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:45.000 you ladies and gentlemen welcome to Tim cast IRL

00:01:07.000 I want to start this show with my heartfelt condolences to the Trump family.

00:01:11.000 We got news not that long ago that Ivana Trump had passed away, cardiac arrest, and obviously she's the mother of many of the Trump children.

00:01:19.000 And it's sad to hear.

00:01:21.000 There's some pretty brutal videos, seeing that the Trump kids are very devastated by this.

00:01:26.000 I just want to say everyone here wishes them well and we give our condolences and we might just get into the story later on because it is it's very important but you know sad stuff as we start the show but we do have big news in the Trump family outside of the the sadder news Donald Trump gave an interview to, I think it was New York Mag, where he essentially announced he is running.

00:01:48.000 In every conceivable way that he could, he said he was running.

00:01:51.000 Without literally saying he was running.

00:01:53.000 And it was brilliant.

00:01:55.000 It was so Trumpian.

00:01:56.000 He's like, I've made a decision, and when I announce, people aren't going to want to run because I'm polling better than them.

00:02:01.000 He basically said it.

00:02:02.000 So it's like, okay, we get it.

00:02:03.000 You're running.

00:02:04.000 The thing is, if he formally declares that he's running, it puts a bunch of laws in play.

00:02:08.000 Like, all of a sudden, he's beholden to a bunch of FEC laws and regulations.

00:02:12.000 So, this is why people always do these things.

00:02:15.000 So, we'll talk about that.

00:02:17.000 Plus, you've got Elon Musk's statements about Ron DeSantis, and we love talking about Trump versus Ron DeSantis, so we'll get into that.

00:02:21.000 And then we've got a bunch of other news.

00:02:23.000 Ocasio-Cortez basically said January 6th was an inside job.

00:02:27.000 She said the police held the door open for that.

00:02:30.000 Like, they did.

00:02:31.000 And I agree with her.

00:02:33.000 She said she wants an investigation, a deep dive into these cops who seem to have been involved, and I'm like, yes please.

00:02:39.000 Unfortunately, the news about AOC is completely being distracted from because Alex Stein yelled that she had a big booty.

00:02:45.000 So that's the news in the cycle, and it's so annoying, but of course they're gonna try and distract from something very important AOC said.

00:02:52.000 I am with AOC 100% on that.

00:02:54.000 Investigate those cops who held the door open, get down on the J6 committee, and show the world.

00:02:58.000 Cops held the door open?

00:02:59.000 Who were they?

00:03:00.000 Why were they doing it?

00:03:01.000 We also got our good friend Malcolm Nance saying that the Republican Party's been radicalized and we may have to fight our neighbors.

00:03:10.000 The rhetoric's getting really crazy, so we're gonna get into all that.

00:03:55.000 Hello, Tim.

00:03:56.000 Thank you so much for having me.

00:03:58.000 Yes, so who are you?

00:03:59.000 I am the CEO of Red Renegade PR.

00:04:04.000 I started my firm to be an aggressive, doesn't-take-no-for-an-answer PR firm that fights wokeism wherever we find it.

00:04:13.000 I make sure our clients have a voice and can be heard.

00:04:17.000 Too often over the years I've seen so many people get censored or canceled because they don't follow the accepted view and I have worked hard to fight against that.

00:04:26.000 So I put together my own team that rebels against that and gives our clients a voice.

00:04:31.000 Right on.

00:04:32.000 You work with some pretty cool people, I hear.

00:04:34.000 I do.

00:04:34.000 A lot of prominent people, people we've had on the show, for instance.

00:04:36.000 Yes.

00:04:37.000 So behind some of the guests we've had have been individuals like yourself.

00:04:41.000 Yes.

00:04:42.000 So here you are now today on the show.

00:04:44.000 I was telling Lydia earlier, I decided after I had my two boys since COVID hit, that I wanted to be a little more vocal myself with the culture war, because I'm not sure I'm too pleased with the direction the country is going.

00:04:59.000 Right on.

00:05:00.000 More people got to speak up.

00:05:01.000 For sure.

00:05:01.000 Thank you for having me.

00:05:03.000 I'm very excited to be here.

00:05:04.000 Glad to see you.

00:05:05.000 We also have Brett Dasovic of Pop Culture Crisis.

00:05:08.000 How's it going?

00:05:09.000 Uh, yes, I am a pop culture crisis.

00:05:10.000 It would normally be Mary sitting here, but she, uh, she took the night off tonight. 1.00

00:05:14.000 I don't know what that's about.

00:05:16.000 Uh, well lately the last, uh, not the last couple of days, but yeah, uh, we do pop culture crisis 3 p.m.

00:05:21.000 Eastern standard time on youtube.com.

00:05:23.000 Uh, and I, it sounds like you were giving the Trump school of announcing earlier with your, with your comment about saying that you have a big announcement coming.

00:05:30.000 See, everyone's announcing that they've got an announcement coming.

00:05:33.000 It's a, it's very good marketing.

00:05:34.000 I'm not running for president.

00:05:35.000 That is not my announcement.

00:05:37.000 You've announced you're not running.

00:05:38.000 That's right.

00:05:40.000 Announce that you're going to make an announcement about not running.

00:05:42.000 Exactly.

00:05:42.000 Yes.

00:05:42.000 I also have an announcement tonight.

00:05:44.000 Josh19zmapped on Twitter asked me to work graphene into the convo tonight, but Josh, I am announcing that I will not be working graphene hexagonally lattice carbon into the conversation, unfortunately.

00:05:56.000 But thanks for the request.

00:05:58.000 I am also here in the corner.

00:05:59.000 I'm very excited to have Vanessa.

00:06:00.000 I love the idea of bringing people forward who do some of the hard work behind the scenes that never get any kind of attention.

00:06:06.000 Very important work to be done.

00:06:07.000 Really like the idea of platforming people who don't often get a chance to speak.

00:06:10.000 So let's get into it.

00:06:11.000 Or just getting more people to speak up.

00:06:13.000 Exactly.

00:06:14.000 Stand up for themselves.

00:06:15.000 Yes.

00:06:16.000 It can be risky.

00:06:17.000 Last night I was thinking, we talked about God last night a lot, and I was thinking like, you know, I don't, I can't speak for God, obviously no one has that authority really, but it feels like it doesn't want us to just make money.

00:06:29.000 It's not about money.

00:06:30.000 It's about communication.

00:06:31.000 And that's a big part of it anyway.

00:06:32.000 I think it's about making the world better for everyone in every possible way.

00:06:36.000 Improving upon this beautiful green earth.

00:06:39.000 Maybe we'll talk about that stuff.

00:06:40.000 Let's jump into this first story.

00:06:42.000 Trump says he's made up his mind about 2024.

00:06:45.000 Big decision is timing of announcement.

00:06:48.000 I love this.

00:06:48.000 The Hill reports.

00:06:49.000 They say former President Trump said he has made a decision about running for the White House.

00:06:53.000 Well, in my own mind, I've already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore.

00:06:58.000 In my own mind, I've already made that decision.

00:07:01.000 He added, do I go before or after?

00:07:03.000 That will be my big decision.

00:07:05.000 The interviewer then said midterms, and he said midterms.

00:07:09.000 Let people know.

00:07:10.000 I think a lot of people would not even run if I did that, because if you look at the polls, they don't even register.

00:07:15.000 Most of these people, he said, and I think that you would actually have a backlash against them if they ran.

00:07:20.000 People want me to run.

00:07:21.000 He could not have said in any more clear terms he's running, short of outright saying, I'm running.

00:07:29.000 So Trump 2024, I guess.

00:07:31.000 There we go.

00:07:32.000 And I mean, it is relatively early for a president to make a bold statement like this.

00:07:36.000 I know he didn't formally declare, but even with Hillary, the meme was she's running over and over again because she really waited as long as possible to even suggest she would run.

00:07:46.000 What are the legal ramifications for announcing for him?

00:07:49.000 You can't take money from certain people, or you can only take a certain amount of money from certain groups and people.

00:07:55.000 It's so honorable the way Hillary Clinton did it, right?

00:08:00.000 Because she made sure to get those big fat Goldman Sachs paychecks before she announced he was running. 0.99

00:08:07.000 Yeah, we know how that works.

00:08:08.000 Those very expensive speaking engagements.

00:08:11.000 That's right!

00:08:12.000 I feel like these laws really incentivize people to kind of hedge and hedge until, like Hillary Clinton did, she got a bunch of money and then she announced she was running.

00:08:20.000 It seems very shady and it seems like we're making it easier for them to do that and I don't think we should make it easier for politicians to be dishonest.

00:08:26.000 Call me crazy.

00:08:27.000 So I love this from CNN.

00:08:29.000 It sure sounds like Donald Trump is running in 2024.

00:08:32.000 Oh, come on, Chris Saliza, just say Trump is running.

00:08:35.000 We all know.

00:08:35.000 Sure does.

00:08:36.000 But I'll tell you what really frustrates me about this.

00:08:38.000 And what I think is actually the bigger story is Donald Trump's penchant for giving people who despise him the scoop.

00:08:46.000 Why?

00:08:47.000 Why does he keep helping these people?

00:08:50.000 This was a big deal.

00:08:51.000 His informal announcement that he's decided he's going to run.

00:08:55.000 And that he wants to announce soon, and people may drop out, and he goes to Olivia Nuzzi of, I think it's New York Magazine, and the first thing they do, let me see if we can, we'll pull up the story, the whole first paragraph is just disparaging Trump and smearing him with every possible negative story imaginable.

00:09:15.000 He knows better than this.

00:09:17.000 It's incredible.

00:09:18.000 He's the guy who looked at, who did he look at, Jim Acosta?

00:09:20.000 You are fake news.

00:09:21.000 And then when it comes to one of the biggest announcements, does he go to Breitbart?

00:09:24.000 Does he go to Human Events?

00:09:27.000 Does he go to Post Millennial?

00:09:28.000 Does he go to Crowder or Timcast or any independent outlet?

00:09:31.000 He goes to the people.

00:09:33.000 The first thing they do, this whole paragraph, I can try to read it fast.

00:09:37.000 It's very long.

00:09:39.000 All right, here we go.

00:09:41.000 Here's the first paragraph of Donald Trump's interview with New York Magazine.

00:09:44.000 Donald Trump was impeached twice. Lost the 2020 election by 7,052,770 votes.

00:09:49.000 Is entangled in investigations by federal prosecutors over the Capitol insurrection

00:09:51.000 and over mishandling of classified witness documents and over election interference in

00:09:54.000 the District of Columbia Attorney General over financial fraud of the Presidential Inaugural

00:09:56.000 Committee and the Manhattan District of Attorney over financial fraud of the Trump Organization

00:09:59.000 and the New York State Attorney General over financial fraud of the Trump Organization and

00:10:02.000 the Westchester County District Attorney over financial fraud of the Trump Organization and

00:10:05.000 the Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney over criminal election interference in Georgia

00:10:08.000 and the Securities and Exchange Commission over rules violation and plans to take his social

00:10:11.000 media company public through a SPAC and the House Select Committee on January 6th whose hearings are

00:10:15.000 the runaway TV ratings into the summer. Yet on Monday, July 11th, he was in a fantastic mood.

00:10:19.000 Why would you give an interview to someone who's going to introduce you and your ideas in that way?

00:10:25.000 You know, I actually think that giving it to Olivia proves his priorities, which is that, you know, he doesn't really care to run for America.

00:10:36.000 He cares to pick up where he left off, fighting with reporters and getting attention.

00:10:40.000 I think it's a huge distraction from what we really need from a presidential candidate right now.

00:10:47.000 It's unfortunate to see him doing this right out the gate.

00:10:50.000 You know what this says to me?

00:10:51.000 This says to me that Donald Trump has learned nothing.

00:10:54.000 He's learned nothing.

00:10:55.000 He always wanted the media to be his friend.

00:10:57.000 He wanted them to be on his side.

00:10:58.000 Even as he was calling them the fake news, he would still give all these super combative interviews.

00:11:03.000 He has learned nothing.

00:11:04.000 I see no way that he would fire the people who need to be fired.

00:11:07.000 That's a good point.

00:11:08.000 Yeah.

00:11:08.000 I don't think he's going to make any changes if he does run again, even if he does win.

00:11:12.000 I can't believe he went to New York mag for this. 0.90

00:11:15.000 Ridiculous. 0.99

00:11:16.000 It's absolutely bonkers. 0.98

00:11:18.000 Well, maybe for the real announcement he'll do it with an ally.

00:11:22.000 Maybe.

00:11:22.000 Is there any way to get the analytics?

00:11:24.000 It doesn't have to be an ally.

00:11:25.000 It has to be somebody who's just going to give you the news, you know?

00:11:29.000 Is there any way to grab analytics on this article that was written about his announcement that he's considering announcing for president?

00:11:38.000 Because if he did it on a show like this, he'd have 1.6 million views overnight, and it would be his face and his voice, which is what gets you elected, not text.

00:11:46.000 Except in Biden's case, apparently.

00:11:48.000 Yeah, well, he resisted going to any alternative platforms for the longest time until he had his own, and he's very clearly resisting.

00:11:55.000 Yeah, he went to this lady. 0.98

00:11:56.000 Holy crap. 0.99

00:11:57.000 Take a look at this from ground.news. 0.99

00:11:59.000 Bias fact check.

00:12:00.000 Olivia Nuzzi interacts... 92% of the news she interacts with is left-leaning.

00:12:07.000 Look at that tiny little morsel of right wing in there, which is probably like 4% or something.

00:12:13.000 And Donald Trump decided that he's going to go to the people who smear him, who defame him, who attacked him, who propped up the lies, who lied about Kyle Rittenhouse, who lied in defense of Jussie Smollett, who lie about him, and then first chance they get when he sits down with this woman is she opens the entire paragraph smearing him in every imaginable way.

00:12:32.000 Because I want to make sure this point is clear.

00:12:34.000 Just because People who hate Trump are trying to dig up dirt on him, opposition research, or investigate him, doesn't mean Trump did something wrong.

00:12:43.000 We are innocent until proven guilty in this country, and people who are trying to smear Trump, we get it, they're going after him.

00:12:49.000 But she makes it the entire introduction.

00:12:51.000 I wish that he just went to, I mean, name any, any independent journalist.

00:12:56.000 It doesn't have to be a conservative.

00:12:57.000 He could have just made a YouTube video and said that he did a video.

00:13:00.000 If just him talking to the camera, it would have been spectacular.

00:13:03.000 I was going to ask, if you were to give an outlet other than Timcast, who do you think would have been a good site for him to go to?

00:13:09.000 Joe Rogan.

00:13:09.000 Joe Rogan?

00:13:10.000 Yeah, but Joe Rogan won't have him on, which I don't even know if I believe that.

00:13:14.000 I'm not sure about that either.

00:13:16.000 Given how Rogan's been talking lately, I'm not sure if I believe that.

00:13:20.000 Believe that he wouldn't have him on?

00:13:21.000 That he turned him down for that reason.

00:13:24.000 It just doesn't seem like...

00:13:25.000 Yeah, I heard that Joe maybe just got fed up with them.

00:13:29.000 I didn't hear that he got fed up with them.

00:13:30.000 I'm imagining maybe he did, and he's just like, I'm done with that guy.

00:13:32.000 I don't understand why Joe would not have interviewed Trump.

00:13:34.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:13:35.000 Yeah, I think he wanted to at some point.

00:13:36.000 He said he would host a debate.

00:13:37.000 He said, I don't want to help him.

00:13:38.000 Right.

00:13:39.000 But he said he would have a debate between Biden and Trump before the 2020 election, and that never came to fruition, unfortunately.

00:13:45.000 But I'll stress this point we made last time we talked about this.

00:13:49.000 When Joe Rogan says, I won't have Trump on because it would help him, think about what that means.

00:13:54.000 Joe knows Biden can't do it and Trump would be helped by it.

00:13:59.000 Right.

00:14:00.000 Whether he intended to or not, he was outright saying Donald Trump would do well and benefit from being on this show.

00:14:05.000 Joe Biden wouldn't.

00:14:06.000 Biden going on Rogan and, like, for two hours?

00:14:09.000 Three hours, right?

00:14:10.000 Three hours.

00:14:10.000 I don't think he could do that.

00:14:12.000 Well, Joe would cut him early.

00:14:13.000 He can't even be trusted to walk around the White House egg roll alone, right?

00:14:18.000 Yeah.

00:14:19.000 Biden can't.

00:14:20.000 He has to have press handling him.

00:14:22.000 There's no way he could handle Rogan.

00:14:23.000 We've been we've been having like this inside joke about how people complain about when they do Rogan they have to go to the bathroom so bad when they're done that like Rogan has like he loves it like he loves the fact these people just like can't go to the bathroom when they're recording.

00:14:35.000 But you but you can go to the bathroom on Joe's show.

00:14:38.000 But they were just picturing like him being like oh we're not done yet we're not done yet he's just playing like waterfalls in the background.

00:14:43.000 I probably do 4 am more whiskey.

00:14:48.000 Sometimes, they just do a cut.

00:14:50.000 And sometimes, if they just carry on, or like Joe's smoking or whatever, they just carry on.

00:14:55.000 So, I mean, people bounce from this show and go to the bathroom all the time.

00:14:58.000 If you gotta go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom.

00:15:00.000 Gotta go, you gotta go.

00:15:01.000 Yeah, I mean, we're just chillin'.

00:15:02.000 There are times and places when not, but on podcasts, go to the bathroom.

00:15:05.000 It will add to the urgency of your performance if you don't.

00:15:07.000 It's true, yeah.

00:15:08.000 Anger, temperatures rise.

00:15:10.000 I'm so glad to learn the bathroom policy this early into the show.

00:15:14.000 Your pleasure.

00:15:15.000 If Joe Biden was on with Joe Rogan, two scenarios would occur.

00:15:20.000 The first is that he would probably be getting up to go to the bathroom quite a lot.

00:15:24.000 Yep.

00:15:25.000 The second is that he would be the one person who doesn't need to get up to go to the bathroom.

00:15:28.000 Never went to go to the bathroom.

00:15:29.000 Yep.

00:15:29.000 Because he's set.

00:15:31.000 He just goes right where he is.

00:15:32.000 He's got his little defense.

00:15:34.000 I thought that's where you were going, but I wasn't sure.

00:15:37.000 Could you imagine watching Rogan with Biden?

00:15:40.000 And then it like, Joe says something like, but come on, man, like, you know, Joe Rogan says, Come on, you're talking about the mass printing of money.

00:15:48.000 It's got to have some kind of inflationary effect.

00:15:50.000 And then it cuts to Joe and Joe's like, Oh, no.

00:15:54.000 I saw a video of Biden, man.

00:15:56.000 He looks worse than people realize.

00:15:58.000 The Israel? 0.93

00:15:58.000 Are you talking about him coming off the plane? 0.93

00:16:00.000 Kind of disoriented?

00:16:01.000 It might have been that one.

00:16:03.000 I saw a video of Biden, man. He looks worse than people realize.

00:16:09.000 Poor guy.

00:16:09.000 What, the Israel? Are you talking about him coming off the plane, kind of disoriented?

00:16:14.000 It might have been that one. He sniffs a little boy.

00:16:16.000 Oh, no. I saw that.

00:16:19.000 But he's just like, it was who was it who said he looks like the dude from Hannibal?

00:16:24.000 Oh, I don't remember.

00:16:26.000 Dude, Biden does.

00:16:26.000 And Trump.

00:16:27.000 That was D.A. Lerner.

00:16:28.000 Yeah, D.A. Lerner.

00:16:29.000 That was amazing.

00:16:30.000 Dude, Biden does.

00:16:31.000 And Trump...

00:16:35.000 We just mentioned the other day, Trump needs to announce ASAP because it puts Biden in the worst possible position.

00:16:43.000 If Biden drops out due to his health or whatever after Trump runs, you know, or Trump announces, then he's like, oh, Joe Biden ran away scared.

00:16:52.000 The Democrats know they're not going to win.

00:16:54.000 It will look really, really bad.

00:16:56.000 And a big component to elections is many people vote for whoever they think is going to win.

00:17:01.000 It's a weird thing about people in this country, especially.

00:17:03.000 So that's bad.

00:17:04.000 Or what if Joe bows out due to, or the Democrats pull him out?

00:17:09.000 Like either way, if Trump announces and then Biden is out for some reason, the Democrats are going to lose significant support, if they have any at all.

00:17:18.000 Do you think that's still an issue here with this polarized climate as we have right now, that people are still voting for who they think is going to win?

00:17:26.000 You know, maybe some people.

00:17:28.000 I'll tell you the crazy thing.

00:17:29.000 There was an article in Axios talking about the realignment, about how the Republican Party has become more diverse, racially diverse, and more working class, and the Democrats have become whiter and wealthier.

00:17:42.000 It's for sure.

00:17:43.000 Trump lost white votes.

00:17:46.000 That's the crazy thing.

00:17:47.000 He gained votes in the black community, the Latino community, along the Rio Grande Valley.

00:17:51.000 And so the Democrats are becoming the elite white—they're the elite white liberals.

00:17:56.000 So their concerns are not what regular people are concerned with.

00:18:00.000 No, I mean, just looking at the big issues that they're trying to talk about, they're so obsessed with abortion and, you know, and pronouns and calling Well, people's right pronoun. 0.68

00:18:14.000 And then meanwhile, real Americans are trying to get to work. 0.89

00:18:17.000 They're trying to fill their tanks.

00:18:19.000 I mean, it's it's so out of touch.

00:18:22.000 I want to I want to I want to play this clip for all you guys.

00:18:24.000 For those big fans of Joe Biden.

00:18:27.000 I got a clip for you.

00:18:28.000 Steve Guest says Joe Biden tries to shake hands with nobody again.

00:18:33.000 And he does.

00:18:34.000 And here's the video of Joe Biden.

00:18:37.000 Yeah, the audio is always in the wrong setting.

00:18:39.000 Time. 0.99

00:18:39.000 Darn it. 0.99

00:18:40.000 Here we go. 1.00

00:18:41.000 We got it.

00:18:41.000 We got you, everybody.

00:18:42.000 Here we go.

00:18:44.000 Thank you, President Herzog and President Biden.

00:18:47.000 Okay, we're gonna do a slow motion play-by-play.

00:18:52.000 Here we have President Joe Biden at the podium.

00:18:55.000 He goes to shake the hand of this man.

00:18:57.000 I don't know who that guy is.

00:18:57.000 And he turns to reach his hand out.

00:18:59.000 Who's over there?

00:19:00.000 And there's no one there.

00:19:01.000 Here's the best part.

00:19:02.000 Wait, you really got to see this.

00:19:04.000 He reaches his hand out to shake, pauses, and then looks at his hand like he's trippin'.

00:19:09.000 Look at that.

00:19:09.000 Oh my gosh, what is he on?

00:19:11.000 You see that?

00:19:11.000 Then he just points.

00:19:12.000 He's like, I'm going this way.

00:19:14.000 But it's the weirdest thing where he like, he reaches his hand out and then he just like looks at it like, what is this thing attached to my body?

00:19:22.000 If it was Hunter, it'd be because he'd been up for three days at a time and he wasn't seeing things.

00:19:26.000 But it really does, and speech repeat the line, it gets harder and harder to ignore for regular people.

00:19:33.000 And I do think that the average ordinary citizen, maybe the reason Trump has not kept his going the way that things are is because he feels like any deviation from things will mix up the momentum of letting them screw up what they're doing.

00:19:47.000 Never interrupt your enemy.

00:19:48.000 Yeah, Joe Biden, when he ran, he didn't actually run, you know, he kept calling a lid.

00:19:53.000 And when you watch this video, he reaches his arm out.

00:19:57.000 He's not pointing, he's reaching his arm out, open palm, and then he just looks at his hand.

00:20:01.000 Look at that.

00:20:02.000 He's like, huh?

00:20:02.000 He's like staring at his hand.

00:20:03.000 Now here's the best part.

00:20:05.000 The last time this happened, PolitiFact said, President Joe Biden was confused, turned around and shook hands with thin air after a speech.

00:20:13.000 False.

00:20:14.000 How do they square that circle?

00:20:16.000 They said, oh, he was just gesturing to the crowd.

00:20:18.000 It's like, dude, he did it again.

00:20:19.000 This is the game they play.

00:20:22.000 It's like Joe Biden could fall down and start screaming and they would be like, he was auditioning for a movie.

00:20:28.000 Actually, that's totally normal.

00:20:30.000 The first time he ever said, end of quote, they were like, he's not reading the prompter wrong.

00:20:34.000 He's, it was part of the speech.

00:20:37.000 Most people say end of quote when they're ending a quote.

00:20:40.000 Then he says it again.

00:20:41.000 Repeat line.

00:20:42.000 Repeat the line.

00:20:43.000 He goes, end of quote, repeat the line.

00:20:46.000 Dude, you read the instructions.

00:20:50.000 It's, look man.

00:20:51.000 That's a Ron Burgundy moment.

00:20:53.000 Beyond Ron Burgundy.

00:20:54.000 Last night I was praying for this man's mental health, just his health in general. 0.93

00:20:58.000 As much as I understand the, he's bad at his job, I want him to fail, so let's just harp on him until he's gone, but a sick-minded president can ruin the world.

00:21:07.000 So we need, maybe not, we need to support him in some way, acknowledging that he doesn't, shouldn't be the president.

00:21:14.000 Ian, a sick-minded president could ruin the world?

00:21:17.000 He's doing it! 1.00

00:21:19.000 He is ruining the world, dude.

00:21:20.000 He's doing it right now.

00:21:21.000 He gave a million barrels of our strategic oil reserve.

00:21:25.000 He surrendered to the Taliban.

00:21:26.000 Yeah, come on! 0.93

00:21:27.000 Come on, man.

00:21:28.000 He gave our oil to China!

00:21:30.000 China!

00:21:30.000 To Senepec.

00:21:32.000 And then the media's fact-checking me, being like, Tim Pool's opinion on that being a bad thing is wrong.

00:21:37.000 Okay, dude.

00:21:39.000 When he bit his wife's hand during his speech, too.

00:21:42.000 That was funny.

00:21:43.000 Remember when he was in the shower?

00:21:44.000 You didn't know that?

00:21:45.000 Yo, you didn't see that picture?

00:21:47.000 She's like, she reaches out and then he just goes like, and bites her hand.

00:21:50.000 That's amazing. That's what my cat does to me.

00:21:52.000 That was still on the campaign trail, I guess.

00:21:54.000 I remember when he mixed up his sister and his wife.

00:21:57.000 That was weird, too.

00:21:58.000 That was weird.

00:21:58.000 Yeah, we should have known.

00:21:59.000 Oh, it's no big deal.

00:22:01.000 He just nibbled on his wife's finger in a bizarre campaign stop moment.

00:22:05.000 Just a loving, a loving nibble.

00:22:07.000 It's very cute affection, right?

00:22:08.000 It's a sign that there's no trouble in paradise.

00:22:11.000 The Bidens are romantic and happy.

00:22:14.000 Yeah.

00:22:14.000 Well, to be fair, you know, to say Joe Biden bites wife is a little bit over the top.

00:22:19.000 Biden bites wife. 1.00

00:22:21.000 Biden bites wife. 1.00

00:22:22.000 But I think what you see with a story like this is that he's just not cognizant of his surroundings.

00:22:28.000 Like he's lost his filter.

00:22:30.000 Yeah.

00:22:31.000 You don't, you don't do this.

00:22:33.000 And then everyone was like, Oh, it was funny.

00:22:34.000 It was, you know, his wife and he's not funny.

00:22:37.000 Yeah.

00:22:38.000 It's terrifying.

00:22:38.000 It's not weird.

00:22:40.000 It's so weird.

00:22:42.000 Look at this.

00:22:43.000 What is this?

00:22:45.000 What is this image?

00:22:46.000 Somebody sent me that picture today and they're like, why does this picture exist?

00:22:50.000 And I was like, that really happened.

00:22:51.000 Her hand is cold.

00:22:53.000 I'm hungry.

00:22:54.000 Come on, man.

00:22:55.000 I thought it was a snack.

00:22:58.000 I don't know, dude.

00:23:00.000 Butterfingers.

00:23:02.000 Well, so look, Trump informally announces he's running, but this poll comes out, the New York Times, Times-Siena poll saying that 44 to 41 Biden wins.

00:23:12.000 There's obviously other polls saying it's complete bunk.

00:23:14.000 There's another poll I was reading today that said Trump wins 43 to 41.

00:23:16.000 I just can't imagine And this could be hubris that Joe Biden could beat Trump in a rematch.

00:23:27.000 It's one thing when Biden shows up, says, I'm going to run against Trump, and then all the media does is say that COVID is Trump's fault, and then says nothing about Joe Biden.

00:23:38.000 Joe Biden hides.

00:23:39.000 So the only news story, and it was crazy because we mentioned this back during the campaign.

00:23:43.000 I was like, if the media only focuses on Trump, then there's going to be nothing about Biden.

00:23:48.000 So people will be voting against Trump.

00:23:50.000 And that's, that's what happened.

00:23:51.000 Yeah.

00:23:52.000 So now Joe Biden is known to people and they're not happy with it.

00:23:56.000 Joe Biden's approval rating in aggregate is lower today than where Trump's was at the same time as presidency.

00:24:02.000 And here's the best part.

00:24:03.000 His approval rating is lower today than where Trump's was after January 6th.

00:24:08.000 Does he lose just on the economy?

00:24:11.000 Biden?

00:24:12.000 Yeah.

00:24:12.000 What do you mean?

00:24:13.000 Like, is that enough alone beyond the bizarre behavior?

00:24:17.000 You know, I'd say yes normally, but Democrats are the party of the wealthy elites and they're cultists.

00:24:23.000 They believe insane things.

00:24:25.000 They're in a bubble.

00:24:26.000 They don't know what's going on in the real world.

00:24:27.000 They believe the Kyle Rittenhouse lies, the Covenant Catholic lies. 0.95

00:24:30.000 They believed Jussie Smollett.

00:24:32.000 Look, imagine you're on a sinking ship.

00:24:36.000 And there's like a set, someone comes and says, I have a set of instructions to save the boat from sinking.

00:24:41.000 You're like, okay.

00:24:41.000 And the other guy walks up to you and goes, I think Justice Millet was telling the truth.

00:24:45.000 And I'm the one who's in charge.

00:24:47.000 You're going to be like, okay, we're doomed, right?

00:24:49.000 Like, how are we, how are we going to effectively fix this thing?

00:24:52.000 If that guy is the one who's supposed to be like, we have to argue with each other over how to save this ship.

00:24:58.000 Yeah, so on the question of the economy, I actually saw, and this was very unsettling to me because I've been harping about these shootings that have been happening in red states and then in blue states with and without gun control.

00:25:08.000 And I said, I think that this is going to mean the Democrats pull alongside the Republicans over the economy.

00:25:14.000 I think guns are going to become more important than the economy.

00:25:17.000 And sure enough, it's showing that this is bringing them up alongside the Republicans as November is coming up, just like I thought it would happen.

00:25:25.000 So I don't know what's going to happen, obviously, but the fact that they have so well publicized these two different attacks, whether you have gun control or not, whether you have the armed good guy or not, whether you have red flag laws or not, you still have the same effect.

00:25:39.000 I think that this has been an incredibly effective strategy for them to push the concept of guns to the forefront of the American public's mind.

00:25:47.000 Let me pull up this real quick just to drive it home.

00:25:49.000 President Trump job approval from RealClearPolitics.

00:25:52.000 This is the aggregate of all polling.

00:25:56.000 I think they go back, what is it, like 10 polls or something?

00:25:59.000 Check this out.

00:26:00.000 After January 6th, Donald Trump's approval rating was 39.3%.

00:26:03.000 It tanked.

00:26:03.000 9.3%. It tanked. Joe Biden today is 38.6. Oh my gosh.

00:26:12.000 Wow.

00:26:12.000 That's remarkable.

00:26:13.000 It wasn't an event that caused it either.

00:26:15.000 It's just the slow decline.

00:26:17.000 Yeah.

00:26:18.000 It wasn't like a sharp dip like it was with Trump.

00:26:20.000 Yeah.

00:26:21.000 With Trump, like all of a sudden everybody heard this thing and they were like, if a war gets started, it spikes up. 0.98

00:26:26.000 If some dumb crap happens, it spikes down. 0.99

00:26:28.000 But this is just an example of a president that's presiding over a sinking ship. 0.98

00:26:32.000 And Ian, do you know why Joe Biden's approval dipped and his disapproval spiked above his approval rating?

00:26:41.000 Do you know what was the catalyst for it?

00:26:42.000 I bet I know.

00:26:43.000 Wait, which point?

00:26:46.000 Oh, right there.

00:26:47.000 Tell me, is that Afghanistan?

00:26:48.000 Is that the date?

00:26:50.000 He submitted to the Taliban.

00:26:51.000 That's a big dip, too.

00:26:53.000 After Joe Biden surrendered, failed, and I mean, this is one of the reasons I believe that Joe Biden is not the puppet people think he is.

00:27:04.000 He's more like, I'm not saying he's in charge.

00:27:08.000 I'm saying he sort of is, and everyone's kind of confused, but he's still being given instruction by his aides who are trying to help him right like you can have, you can hire someone to help you who tells you what to do, but you're still in charge right.

00:27:20.000 Afghanistan was such a complete and total failure that made no sense. 1.00

00:27:25.000 Made absolutely zero sense.

00:27:27.000 Joe Biden was in the Situation Room probably going, oh, get to the airport!

00:27:32.000 And then they like evacuate Bagram.

00:27:34.000 The American people saw that.

00:27:36.000 And after the abandoning of our troops, was it 13 brave men and women who were killed outside the airport?

00:27:44.000 Joe Biden's approval rating has never come back.

00:27:47.000 That's it.

00:27:47.000 That's a good point.

00:27:48.000 That was it.

00:27:49.000 That was it for me.

00:27:50.000 I mean, those images of the plane of the... Yeah, that's the tip of the iceberg.

00:27:54.000 You got to talk to Tim Kennedy about what he saw.

00:27:57.000 But people just need to realize this.

00:27:59.000 When Ian, who has never been like a big Trump guy, is like, Joe Biden surrendered Afghanistan, like, is that animated about it?

00:28:06.000 I think that's a good barometer for a lot of people who aren't particularly active in politics.

00:28:09.000 I believe we should focus on this job of the president as the commander of the military.

00:28:13.000 That is their number one job, is the commander in chief of the military.

00:28:17.000 And if they don't have a military mind, like Donald Trump, whatever, he didn't know that

00:28:22.000 they were playing shell games on him and lying to him about troop movement.

00:28:24.000 You know, hindsight's always 20-20.

00:28:28.000 I don't know what, if he could have done it better, probably could have done it better.

00:28:31.000 Listening to Kurt Schlichter last night explain, like, what a president could do to take control of his military command, it sounds not that complicated if you know what to do.

00:28:38.000 But these guys didn't know what to do.

00:28:40.000 Trump didn't know what to do.

00:28:41.000 Biden didn't know what to do.

00:28:43.000 But will Trump really do it?

00:28:45.000 You know, like we mentioned just a moment ago, he comes to these far left extremist journalists and he gives them the interview.

00:28:54.000 Not only are their outlets dying and they don't get the traffic, they despise the man and will lie about him and smear him.

00:29:00.000 And so that's why I'm saying you don't even have to go to a sympathetic reporter.

00:29:04.000 You just go to independent media and then force the establishment to cover the scoop you gave to somebody else.

00:29:10.000 Or like you mentioned, do a YouTube video.

00:29:11.000 Yes, of course.

00:29:12.000 Off the script, just talk.

00:29:15.000 If you watch it back and you don't like it, make a new video.

00:29:18.000 But then upload a candid, normal video being like, hey guys, I've been thinking about it.

00:29:23.000 It's on the horizon.

00:29:24.000 Get ready.

00:29:26.000 People would be lit.

00:29:27.000 It would be so exciting for people to see that and to see them talking straight.

00:29:30.000 Does he have his own YouTube channel?

00:29:32.000 I don't know.

00:29:33.000 That would be the greatest thing ever.

00:29:34.000 If he just became a YouTuber.

00:29:36.000 He could do Rumble.

00:29:39.000 YouTube would probably delete him, right?

00:29:41.000 Content creator Donald Trump.

00:29:43.000 Likely, but still it would be epic.

00:29:45.000 I don't watch a lot of YouTube at all.

00:29:48.000 I would legit be watching the Trump channel every show.

00:29:52.000 26 million views overnight.

00:29:54.000 So you saw that post where he roasted Elon?

00:29:56.000 And he's like, electric cars that don't go far enough.

00:30:00.000 Driving those cars that crash, rockets.

00:30:02.000 Imagine him actually saying it to the camera.

00:30:05.000 It would just be the best.

00:30:07.000 Then Elon makes a video response.

00:30:09.000 Yes.

00:30:10.000 Well, okay.

00:30:10.000 So it's funny you brought up The Apprentice.

00:30:12.000 I was, when I got pregnant, I got super obsessed with The Housewives and all The Housewives have appeared on The Apprentice and a ton of them have.

00:30:20.000 And I wanted to go back and watch these Apprentice.

00:30:23.000 I cannot find them anywhere.

00:30:25.000 I think that whichever, I think it might have been NBC, I don't know, that could be wrong, but I think they took everything off air.

00:30:30.000 It's crazy.

00:30:31.000 Anyways, he was hysterical.

00:30:34.000 Yeah.

00:30:34.000 He was like a comedian, like thinking back to some of the stuff that he said.

00:30:37.000 Yes, I don't agree with, you know, some of the way he phrased things and how insulting he was.

00:30:42.000 No, it was not presidential, but man, he could make me laugh my ass off.

00:30:46.000 Do you remember when Trump blamed the lights for making him orange?

00:30:50.000 He's self-aware, and he's funny.

00:30:53.000 I have been to so many Trump rallies.

00:30:55.000 They are stand-up comedy routines.

00:30:57.000 It was like George Carlin, in a sense, where he's talking about mainstream political news and issues, and he was just joking about everything, and people are laughing and clapping, and I'm like, this man knows how to entertain.

00:31:11.000 And that's powerful.

00:31:11.000 That's charisma.

00:31:12.000 I mean, he's funnier than comedians, because comedians are trying so hard to be these culture champions and everything now.

00:31:18.000 Like, watching Trump just do it, it's so funny.

00:31:20.000 Only Rosie O'Donnell. 0.90

00:31:23.000 It was just perfect timing.

00:31:26.000 He had an answer right out the gate.

00:31:27.000 Everyone burst in laughing in uproarious laughter.

00:31:32.000 So funny.

00:31:33.000 He was a timing genius.

00:31:34.000 Yes.

00:31:35.000 Somebody said that what he should have done is built his own like Oval Office White House set and then like had a YouTube channel after he lost the election where he just second guesses and pretends and does all the stuff that they should do instead and just do that on YouTube.

00:31:49.000 The parallel presidency.

00:31:50.000 He's funny and he's self-aware, but he's not quite humble enough to make fun of himself.

00:31:55.000 He won't really do it enough.

00:31:57.000 I think if he really made fun of himself, then he'd get a lot more people on his side.

00:32:01.000 I think you're right.

00:32:01.000 Like, I think the, like, uh, on one hand it's the, the lack of humility is what makes him a capable, not capable leader, but like you have to be strong to lead in that sense.

00:32:10.000 But a lot of people don't like the fact that you're very, uh, that you don't have the ability to laugh at yourself or you don't have the ability to take a joke at your own expense.

00:32:18.000 But Trump does, and it doesn't matter.

00:32:20.000 If people are in a cult, they're in a cult.

00:32:22.000 It's like, Brandon Strzok, his story is really, really powerful.

00:32:27.000 How he thought Trump was all of these things, and then he watched a video that proved everything he thought wrong, and it was physically painful for him, but he was able to break out of it.

00:32:36.000 And now he's like one of the biggest Trump supporters.

00:32:38.000 I don't know as of right now, but he became one of them.

00:32:41.000 But we were talking about January 6th.

00:32:43.000 I want to jump to the story, and I want to give a shout out right away to Tim Kast's good friend, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:32:51.000 We have this tweet here.

00:32:52.000 She said, Remember how there was tons of footage and evidence of officers and others inside on January 6th supporting insurrectionists, but then everyone decided it was too politically risky to investigate thoroughly, so they brushed under the rug and now we still have no idea who or what is safe?

00:33:09.000 I agree with AOC on this.

00:33:10.000 I want to play you this video.

00:33:12.000 Just right there.

00:33:12.000 Yep.

00:33:13.000 actual officers working with this and we never got to the bottom of that and we never got any answers about that and

00:33:18.000 then to this day we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened.

00:33:20.000 I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside who were very clearly sympathetic

00:33:27.000 with what was going on and opening the doors wide open for that and we're i'm supposed to sit here

00:33:32.000 and just right there yep opening the doors and like none of that ever happened and

00:33:38.000 And then right afterwards, you have a massive, you know, you just have this idea that throwing

00:33:42.000 money at that problem is going to make it go away without any accountability.

00:33:47.000 And so this is where these things are breaking down.

00:33:51.000 We're not safe.

00:33:52.000 And it's not just about members of Congress not being safe.

00:33:55.000 The food staff workers aren't safe.

00:33:57.000 The janitors aren't safe.

00:33:58.000 We need to get to the bottom of this.

00:34:01.000 So that's all I got to say.

00:34:03.000 Thank you, Congresswoman.

00:34:05.000 I am thoroughly annoyed by the guy who just keeps yelling Antifa over and over again.

00:34:09.000 As someone who's been more critical of Antifa than many people who've spoken out and criticized them from the get-go, Starting with Occupy Wall Street when we were on the ground me and my friends and the black bloc extremists were attacking us And then eventually they adopted the name Antifa. 0.76

00:34:23.000 They were just the black bloc extremists the same people that we know their names many of them and AOC is Enthusiastically saying there were cops who opened the doors to From the inside. 0.98

00:34:38.000 She never says the cops opened the door.

00:34:40.000 She says there were cops inside, people on the inside opened the doors.

00:34:43.000 She doesn't make the direct statement that it was cops opening the door.

00:34:47.000 The insinuation is that there was law enforcement inside.

00:34:52.000 She's saying she doesn't feel safe because she doesn't know what happened to those people who were inside, whoever they were.

00:34:57.000 She's right.

00:34:58.000 The American people need to know there were people inside who opened the doors.

00:35:02.000 Can we blast that message out there?

00:35:05.000 Can we stop for one second and say, look, I get AOC doesn't care about Antifa riots or anything like that.

00:35:10.000 Fine.

00:35:10.000 But the one thing we do agree on?

00:35:12.000 We want an investigation into the people who opened the doors from the inside.

00:35:16.000 Who are they?

00:35:17.000 Why?

00:35:17.000 And what does that mean for those being criminally charged?

00:35:20.000 AOC's on board.

00:35:22.000 Why are people screaming at her? 1.00

00:35:23.000 Yeah, there one guy got let out of solitary, I don't know if he was in solitary, let out of jail because the judge said, well, a police officer waved you in, you're not liable for trespassing or whatever, they let him go.

00:35:33.000 And she was talking about the safety of those in Congress, right?

00:35:37.000 What did she have to say about the Supreme Court justices and expanded security? 0.81

00:35:41.000 She said, poor him or something like that.

00:35:44.000 Poor guy. 1.00

00:35:45.000 Yeah, she's a hypocrite. 1.00

00:35:46.000 But you know what? 1.00

00:35:48.000 This is the thing.

00:35:48.000 There are people in a cult.

00:35:50.000 A cult leader just came out and said, we have this problem.

00:35:53.000 And I'm like, we got an invoice.

00:35:56.000 Now we can go to each and every one.

00:35:58.000 Now I can go to every one of these cult members and be like, well, look, I agree with AOC.

00:36:01.000 You know, AOC wants an investigation into these cops and the people who open the doors from the inside.

00:36:05.000 She is right about that.

00:36:07.000 She is.

00:36:07.000 Hands down.

00:36:09.000 She's not wrong either that they're not safe.

00:36:11.000 It's not a safe environment to centralize your government anymore.

00:36:13.000 You don't need to have everybody sitting inside of one building that can be surrounded.

00:36:17.000 Like, it's just too... Not today.

00:36:19.000 It doesn't make... I don't know.

00:36:20.000 I'm with her, man.

00:36:20.000 I want to...

00:36:22.000 I don't think it's as big a deal as you think it is.

00:36:24.000 One of the things we said back on January 6th was we mocked the people who tried breaking their way in, saying, why do you think that standing in a building grants you political power?

00:36:34.000 It's not the 1600s.

00:36:36.000 So even if they're in one building, it's not going to disrupt, to a great degree at least, the US government.

00:36:45.000 I'm more intrigued by the fact that she was like, what, are we just gonna throw more money at this problem and hope that solves it?

00:36:49.000 I'm like, you vote for big spending all the time, what are you talking about?

00:36:52.000 You think this works for everything else, but not this, I guess.

00:36:55.000 I'm looking at a priorities list, right?

00:36:56.000 You got AOC has been hypocritical in terms of what happened with the violent riots there, what happened with the riots in the rest of the country.

00:37:03.000 She supported people being harassed. 0.97

00:37:05.000 So she gets, Alex Stein yells at her, big booty Latina. 1.00

00:37:10.000 And for the most part, I think it's a non-story and it's stupid anyway. 1.00

00:37:13.000 Distraction. 1.00

00:37:15.000 You know, so, but I'm more upset that the media is using it to distract, so it is kind of dumb. 0.90

00:37:19.000 But she gets harassed, and then she's like, I was gonna deck him. 0.81

00:37:23.000 Oh, I can't believe he would say that to me.

00:37:24.000 But then Brett Kavanaugh gets harassed, and she doesn't care one bit.

00:37:27.000 But I look at that, and I'm like, okay, there's priorities.

00:37:29.000 I will criticize her for that.

00:37:31.000 But then she comes out, and she hits a 10 out of 10. 0.99

00:37:34.000 Grand slam out of the park.

00:37:35.000 People open the door from the inside.

00:37:36.000 I want an investigation.

00:37:37.000 I'm like, bingo!

00:37:38.000 There it is.

00:37:39.000 That's what we want to hear.

00:37:40.000 Steve Bannon said something similar.

00:37:42.000 This was months and months ago, maybe even a year ago or whatever.

00:37:45.000 He was like, I want an investigation.

00:37:46.000 He's like, I want a hearing.

00:37:48.000 Let's get an investigation into exactly what happened on January 6th.

00:37:51.000 And I'm like...

00:37:52.000 Oh, well, all right.

00:37:53.000 Okay.

00:37:54.000 Because the idea is a legitimate investigation.

00:37:57.000 Why were there cops standing around as people pleaded for them to intervene?

00:38:01.000 You see the video?

00:38:02.000 The guy goes to the cops and says, what are you doing?

00:38:03.000 Please stop this!

00:38:04.000 The cops just don't move.

00:38:05.000 Why weren't there enough cops there?

00:38:07.000 Where was the National Guard?

00:38:09.000 Why were people opening the door from the inside?

00:38:12.000 Those questions need to be answered.

00:38:14.000 One guy got acquitted of all charges because the judge saw a video of cops waving them in.

00:38:21.000 Legit, waving them in.

00:38:23.000 We need answers.

00:38:24.000 I play a lot of video games, Crusader Kings.

00:38:27.000 If you can get your enemy committing a petty crime, you can throw him in prison and strip him of all his land and all his titles and erase him from history.

00:38:36.000 It's like a petty crime.

00:38:37.000 In Grand Theft Auto, you guys ever played GTA?

00:38:39.000 Mm-hmm.

00:38:40.000 Yeah.

00:38:40.000 You've played you have played it. Yeah. In. I used to love it.

00:38:43.000 What you do is you in the video game, if you go up to a random

00:38:49.000 person and attack them, and then they fight back and you run to a

00:38:53.000 police car, the police will start brutally beating the person

00:38:56.000 who is attacking you. So and I'm talking about trick them.

00:38:59.000 I'm talking about political like, like your own subordinates.

00:39:01.000 Like if you're a king, and it's your Duke and you don't like him

00:39:03.000 and you catch him doing some slander or something you can throw

00:39:06.000 him Yeah, if someone

00:39:08.000 If someone lets him in, if you open the door so that he can commit a crime, you can throw that guy in prison.

00:39:15.000 There's a reason to let people commit crimes for authorities sometimes, because then you got them.

00:39:20.000 And I want to know if that's what they did.

00:39:23.000 Oh, sorry.

00:39:23.000 No, I was just, I think it might have been you guys last night on the show with Libby and Kurt, but somebody raised the question, you know, why is there only select footage being released?

00:39:35.000 Like, release everything.

00:39:36.000 Like, let's just make it all public.

00:39:38.000 Take a look at this story from the Daily Mail.

00:39:41.000 Secret Service deleted texts from January 5th and 6th, Homeland Security's Inspector General

00:39:46.000 reveals amid its internal probe. Why? They say many texts between the U.S. Secret Service were

00:39:53.000 deleted after the watchdog made a request for electronic communications, the letter states.

00:39:56.000 Yo, the right seems to think that if we get a real investigation,

00:40:02.000 it'll prove that feds were involved.

00:40:04.000 The left seems to think it'll prove that Trump orchestrated the whole thing.

00:40:07.000 I don't care one way or the other!

00:40:09.000 Alex is insinuant.

00:40:10.000 I think she's the kind of mind that's like, if we get evidence that the cops let people in and incited this, then we've got innocent people in prison.

00:40:18.000 Beyond effed.

00:40:20.000 And a lot of people in the establishment, if that were the case, wouldn't want her to turn like that.

00:40:24.000 They want those people insulated, thinking that they were just attacked by a mob.

00:40:28.000 Right.

00:40:28.000 Because it's convenient.

00:40:29.000 I think, regardless of what the end result is, if police open the doors, and it's a fact, they did.

00:40:36.000 There are cops who open the door and said, I don't agree with it, but I respect it.

00:40:41.000 They said that to people.

00:40:42.000 There's a video of a cop waving at people, waving them to come in.

00:40:45.000 They've argued, oh no, the cop was waving at other cops.

00:40:50.000 It's like, I don't know or care.

00:40:52.000 There's a video of them fanning at the Trump supporters who then started walking in.

00:40:55.000 Well, aren't there selfies?

00:40:56.000 Pictures of, yeah, there's selfies.

00:40:57.000 Cops taking selfies.

00:40:59.000 If that was part of the January 6 hearings, which it's not.

00:41:02.000 The American people would be feeling very different about what happened.

00:41:06.000 Instead, I'm hearing about how people saw my clip posted by Jamie Raskin out of context and they don't know or care what I actually said.

00:41:16.000 The smear is intentional.

00:41:17.000 What they're doing is intentional.

00:41:19.000 They are lying and manipulating.

00:41:21.000 Now, The good news for us is that we're part of a new sect of media where we have massive key demo viewership.

00:41:29.000 Most people who watch this are like 30.

00:41:31.000 We get 18 to 54.

00:41:32.000 We get it very, very well.

00:41:33.000 But you have millions who are watching CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

00:41:38.000 And Fox News, not the worst, not all that great.

00:41:41.000 That's where the old people are. 1.00

00:41:43.000 And so they believe all the nonsense.

00:41:44.000 Now, the funny thing is, whenever the January 6 hearings are on, Fox News' ratings tank.

00:41:49.000 So they just, like, try not to do it.

00:41:52.000 Because nobody wants to watch that stuff.

00:41:54.000 Manipulation and lies.

00:41:56.000 Do we know what the actual ratings have been for the January 6 hearings?

00:41:59.000 Because I see a lot of, like, whenever I'm doing research for what we're covering, you still get a lot of, like, that stuff.

00:42:05.000 Like Deadline, Hollywood Reporter, they're covering it because it's technically part of the Media stream, right?

00:42:12.000 They're high, but low.

00:42:13.000 Okay.

00:42:14.000 Like, they got like tens of millions of viewers across the board, but it's relatively low compared to every other hearing.

00:42:20.000 People really are tuning out from this stuff.

00:42:22.000 Why?

00:42:23.000 The average person does not like Joe Biden.

00:42:26.000 This is the funny thing.

00:42:27.000 With Joe Biden hitting record low approval ratings, down to like 37.7, I've said it before, the opportunity there, two-thirds of this country doesn't like the guy?

00:42:37.000 Okay, make fun of him.

00:42:39.000 It's a big market share.

00:42:41.000 But they don't.

00:42:42.000 You'd think every single person would be like, look, if I want votes, bet against Biden.

00:42:47.000 Everybody hates him.

00:42:48.000 Instead, they're not doing it.

00:42:49.000 They're passively and behind the scenes being like, we need to get somebody else.

00:42:53.000 But we're the late night hosts to be like, ladies and gentlemen who watch this show, I know you all hate Joe Biden.

00:42:58.000 Because even Democrats don't want him to run.

00:43:00.000 But for some reason, they just keep propping him up.

00:43:03.000 I thought watching Colbert really go at Kamala Harris on that interview, it was like a year ago or something.

00:43:08.000 He's like, when you were running against Joe Biden, you said horrible stuff.

00:43:11.000 She's like, it was a debate!

00:43:14.000 And he's like, so what?

00:43:14.000 It's okay to lie if it's a debate?

00:43:16.000 But Steve, he hasn't like come out and be like, I cannot stand that woman. 1.00

00:43:20.000 She lied.

00:43:22.000 Like, I want to see him honest about his feelings for Kamala Harris.

00:43:26.000 Well, I want to know what happened to Kamala, because it seems like when she was running against him, she was... Chad Felix Green, I follow him on Twitter, I love his tweets, he's very smart, but he tweeted the other day this point, basically, which was, you know, we saw a woman who was so well-spoken, she was, you know, She would cut your throat, you know, and now her sentences don't even make sense.

00:43:50.000 It's just strange.

00:43:51.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:43:51.000 She seems so targeted and so fearless and it's just strange to see what's happened to her.

00:43:58.000 It's like every step feels like she's about to fall into lava is what it looks like. 0.91

00:44:01.000 She's so nervous to say the wrong thing that she just says these ridiculous circular statements. 0.95

00:44:05.000 Circular, yeah. 0.97

00:44:07.000 Yeah.

00:44:07.000 That's right.

00:44:08.000 That is interesting.

00:44:09.000 I hadn't thought about that, but you're right.

00:44:10.000 Yeah.

00:44:11.000 She was a prosecutor. 0.94

00:44:12.000 She was an ambitious woman.

00:44:13.000 I don't have a high opinion of ambitious women, but they get stuff done. 1.00

00:44:16.000 Well, I just, I always thought of her as like somebody who really speaks a lot and like declarative sentences.

00:44:22.000 Right, right.

00:44:22.000 It's like, yeah.

00:44:23.000 I'm going to cut to the chase.

00:44:24.000 This is the point.

00:44:25.000 And now it's skirt around in circles and say nothing.

00:44:29.000 And it's very weird to see it.

00:44:30.000 She's expected to live a lie now because she really didn't like Joe Biden and was very overt about that during the debates.

00:44:37.000 And now she's got to pretend like it.

00:44:38.000 So when you live a lie, people become crazy, nervous wrecks.

00:44:42.000 I mean, that's, to me, seems like the only explanation.

00:44:45.000 I mean, but, you know, if they don't run Biden, I mean, what is she doing for her political future at this point if she can't even make a sentence? 1.00

00:44:56.000 I don't get it.

00:44:57.000 Yeah, there's no way she got to where she is today by using those weird auto-correct,

00:45:02.000 predictive text sentence style of speaking.

00:45:05.000 She used to be very, like I feel like she was evil in the way she worked, 1.00

00:45:09.000 but she worked. 0.97

00:45:10.000 She worked.

00:45:11.000 She got stuff done.

00:45:12.000 She made people work for free. 0.99

00:45:14.000 She enslaved people. 1.00

00:45:15.000 Right, but she did all of these things competently, whatever you thought of what she did,

00:45:20.000 and now she's like, I think you're right.

00:45:22.000 I think she's terrified, and you're right.

00:45:24.000 She's not doing anything for her political future. 1.00

00:45:26.000 All she's doing is picking fights with people in the White House. 1.00

00:45:29.000 Like people, it's an incredibly toxic workplace.

00:45:31.000 Like working with an ambitious lady like that is very toxic.

00:45:35.000 It becomes a very...

00:45:37.000 Um, it becomes an entangling battle of wills where they feel like they're being slighted over every little thing.

00:45:42.000 And it's like, how are we supposed to make progress with that?

00:45:45.000 And there's no way for a lady like that to do, to, for example, get into office. 1.00

00:45:50.000 Nobody wants her for president. 1.00

00:45:51.000 She, I believe she's far less like, uh, she's far less liked than even Joe Biden.

00:45:57.000 And that's way less liked than Donald Trump was at this point.

00:45:59.000 Yeah.

00:46:00.000 She does give off like incredibly nervous energy. 1.00

00:46:02.000 Yeah.

00:46:03.000 Like somebody who starts talking but forgets what they're about to say and has to kind of make it up as they go.

00:46:07.000 Yeah.

00:46:07.000 You know what I mean?

00:46:08.000 Yeah, I know.

00:46:09.000 Yeah, it's well, it's like that Michael Scott quote.

00:46:11.000 Sometimes I start a sentence.

00:46:12.000 Yeah.

00:46:13.000 I forget where I'm going.

00:46:14.000 I don't know where I'm going.

00:46:14.000 Keep making it up.

00:46:15.000 Exactly.

00:46:16.000 All of that sounds like that when she does the circuit of logic. 0.57

00:46:19.000 That's what it sounds like.

00:46:19.000 Yeah.

00:46:20.000 No, I completely agree.

00:46:21.000 It's got to be psychologically debasing to know that you were selected for your office because of the color of your skin.

00:46:28.000 If they're like, we need a guy with long hair.

00:46:30.000 Ian, you can do it.

00:46:32.000 I'd be like, well...

00:46:33.000 I guess.

00:46:33.000 That blows.

00:46:36.000 I do meet the requirements.

00:46:37.000 I guess, thanks.

00:46:38.000 Well, that's kind of how I feel about their press secretary.

00:46:41.000 She was literally chosen because of her skin color and her sexual orientation. 0.81

00:46:45.000 That's degrading.

00:46:46.000 Can I read some inspirational quotes for you guys from Kamala Harris?

00:46:50.000 Yes, let's do it.

00:46:51.000 My favorite.

00:46:52.000 We must together, work together, to see where we are, where we are headed, where we are going, and our vision for where we should be, but also see it as a moment to, yes, together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.

00:47:09.000 Here's another one.

00:47:10.000 What else do we know about this population?

00:47:12.000 18 through 24. 1.00

00:47:13.000 They are stupid. 1.00

00:47:15.000 Remember that! 1.00

00:47:17.000 Inspiring.

00:47:18.000 Ukraine is a country in Europe.

00:47:20.000 It exists next to another country called Russia.

00:47:23.000 Russia is a bigger country.

00:47:25.000 Russia is a powerful country.

00:47:27.000 Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.

00:47:29.000 So basically, that's wrong.

00:47:31.000 She's reading children's books!

00:47:33.000 She's an auto-text robot. 1.00

00:47:35.000 It's like chatbots are more inspiring than this.

00:47:37.000 This is my favorite quote from her.

00:47:39.000 It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.

00:47:44.000 I mean, it could be worse.

00:47:45.000 She didn't say, end quote, repeat the line.

00:47:48.000 That's true, that's a good point.

00:47:50.000 Which is worse, actually.

00:47:51.000 Yeah, it's pretty bad, yeah.

00:47:54.000 We all watched the television coverage just yesterday.

00:47:57.000 That's on top of everything else that we know and don't know yet based on what we've just been able to see, and because we've seen it or not doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

00:48:05.000 What?! !

00:48:08.000 What?

00:48:09.000 Predictive text generator.

00:48:11.000 Oh my gosh.

00:48:13.000 It's time for us to do what we've been doing and that time is every day.

00:48:16.000 I'm so inspired.

00:48:18.000 Oh man, that's amazing.

00:48:20.000 Deep thoughts.

00:48:21.000 Okay.

00:48:22.000 Is there just something going around this White House that makes people lose their ability to communicate?

00:48:27.000 Is that just the leftism?

00:48:28.000 Is it just nervous energy?

00:48:30.000 I actually, like, it's like, um, like, she even has, her posture even seems like her shoulders are super tense.

00:48:36.000 Yeah.

00:48:36.000 You know what I mean?

00:48:37.000 Like, she doesn't seem like she's actually ready for any of her public interactions.

00:48:42.000 What we must do!

00:48:43.000 She's kind of looking down a lot, too.

00:48:46.000 What we must do today with these times is do what we've done when we need to.

00:48:53.000 You really had me for a second.

00:48:55.000 When we are in times like now.

00:48:58.000 Yes.

00:48:59.000 I am inspired.

00:49:00.000 Those are fun to say.

00:49:02.000 Vice President Tim Pool.

00:49:04.000 Well, it's fun because everyone's listening to you and they're looking at you and you know you're not saying anything.

00:49:08.000 And so it's just like, keep looking, Dave.

00:49:10.000 Go with it.

00:49:12.000 I've got you all.

00:49:13.000 All right, all right, all right.

00:49:14.000 Take a look at this story from Breitbart.

00:49:16.000 This is great.

00:49:17.000 TeamCast's good friend Malcolm Nance says, GOP becoming an insurgency, we may have to fight our neighbors.

00:49:22.000 Okay.

00:49:23.000 Whoa.

00:49:24.000 Well, guys, I'm worried because Malcolm Nance, he's got a gun.

00:49:27.000 And I saw that picture of him in military gear when he went to Ukraine.

00:49:31.000 And you know, terrifying.

00:49:32.000 He knows what he's doing.

00:49:33.000 This is interesting.

00:49:33.000 Are we gonna listen to this Malcolm Nance sinner speaking at all?

00:49:37.000 Well, it's five minutes of him just like diarrhea-ing from his mouth.

00:49:41.000 Essentially, he's talking about the United States.

00:49:43.000 Is diarrhea-ing a word?

00:49:45.000 I like it.

00:49:45.000 Oh, but it should be.

00:49:46.000 It's a good verb.

00:49:48.000 He's not wrong that we are facing some sort of insurgency, but I believe it's a Federal Reserve.

00:49:53.000 It's a fascist attempt at a coup, basically, since 1913.

00:49:56.000 You know, Rockefeller, JPMorgan, they wanted control of the country, so they created this private bank to run our finances.

00:50:03.000 And we have yet to break free.

00:50:05.000 So in that, he's right.

00:50:06.000 We are in trouble and we have been co-opted.

00:50:08.000 But he points the finger at Donald Trump, which is very annoying because I feel like it's the bank, the banking industry.

00:50:13.000 He thinks it's people at parent-teacher conferences.

00:50:15.000 Right.

00:50:16.000 Yeah.

00:50:16.000 He thinks it's his neighbors.

00:50:17.000 Yes.

00:50:17.000 That's terrifying.

00:50:19.000 I think Ian's thinking correctly when he says it's someone above us who's trying to pit us against each other.

00:50:23.000 I think that's correct.

00:50:24.000 I'm just imagining like Malcolm Nance like walks out of his house and there's like a guy in like cargo, khaki cargo shorts with like a tucked in polo shirt.

00:50:33.000 And he goes, Howdy, neighbor!

00:50:34.000 And Nance goes, ah! 1.00

00:50:36.000 Brutally attacking him.

00:50:37.000 That's a fake gun.

00:50:38.000 You're far right!

00:50:40.000 So let me, I want to read this quote, but I really don't want to.

00:50:43.000 He said, you can call what is happening an insurgency.

00:50:46.000 We have heard that term in foreign wars recently in Iraq.

00:50:49.000 Today we, he says to talk about why you apply the term insurgency to what you see here as a persistent ongoing threat of domestic extremists.

00:50:56.000 Oh, that was, that was Zerlina asking him.

00:50:59.000 He said, I was reading their forums.

00:51:01.000 I was reading their own intelligence about what they intended to do.

00:51:03.000 It was pretty clear at that point that they were going to try to either overthrow the government or they were going to settle in for a long-term series of destabilizing actions using a political party, the Republican Party, as their political base and then using violence, threat of violent extremism, as a way to manifest change in the street.

00:51:20.000 I just want to say it.

00:51:22.000 The goal of January 6th, we thought, was to stop Trump from running.

00:51:26.000 It really does feel, in my opinion, the goal is to start a civil war.

00:51:29.000 That's what it sounds like, yeah.

00:51:31.000 The end result of a non-adversarial, just smear campaign, show trial, it is similar to the things we've seen in other countries when people are trying to destabilize and destroy a government.

00:51:43.000 It makes me think of the burning of the Reichstag and what Hitler did.

00:51:46.000 Well, we don't know that Hitler burned it down.

00:51:48.000 He said the communists did it.

00:51:50.000 No, no, no, this is more like the French Revolution.

00:51:52.000 It's a show trial. It's bringing people up then that no one defends any of the individuals

00:51:57.000 No one gives no one's given a chance to nobody want most people don't want to and then they

00:52:02.000 Lie cheat and steal to present their case to try and seize power. Yeah, I don't think like with the Reichstag

00:52:07.000 I think Hitler did it he just chose he's like I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna lie and then I'm gonna strip them of 0.99

00:52:12.000 Their rights and in this case, no one like did it It just happened.

00:52:16.000 But they're using the experience as an opportunity to throw people in jail without a trial, to enhance security.

00:52:23.000 I don't think that's the goal of January 6th.

00:52:24.000 They already threw people in jail without a trial, put them in solitary.

00:52:27.000 January 6th is fomenting discord in this country. 0.89

00:52:32.000 It is convincing people of nonsense, psychotic BS like this.

00:52:36.000 Malcolm Nance is radicalized. 0.95

00:52:38.000 He is as radicalized as you can be.

00:52:39.000 He's saying he needs to fight his neighbors.

00:52:42.000 Yo, if I were to have told you six years ago that MSNBC personality would go on TV and say, we may have to fight our neighbors, would you have believed me?

00:52:52.000 You'd be like, oh, come on.

00:52:54.000 Then if I said, the year is 2015, let's go seven years, you know, nobody believes Trump's gonna win.

00:53:01.000 And you go back in time and you go to any random person and say, seven years from now, several presidential administration officials, former officials will have been arrested by the incoming administration.

00:53:11.000 Prominent MSNBC personalities will be talking about civil war and one of them will say we may have to be fighting our neighbors.

00:53:18.000 A man walking down the street in Portland will be shot twice in the chest by a man with a communist tattoo on his neck.

00:53:24.000 The red salute. 0.94

00:53:25.000 Nobody would have believed you!

00:53:27.000 And today, people are acting like nothing crazy is happening.

00:53:30.000 It's like, stop being the frog in the boiling pot.

00:53:33.000 The average person doesn't know about the guy getting shot.

00:53:36.000 That's my biggest problem.

00:53:39.000 It's like most of my friends, if they're not politically partisan, the ones that I don't agree with, but we can at least agree to disagree, the average person just doesn't know that stuff is going on.

00:53:47.000 If it's not being, you talked about Donald Trump report, you know, going to these sites that hate him to get his message out there.

00:53:53.000 That's part of the problem.

00:53:54.000 But these other sites, they're not talking about this.

00:53:57.000 You know, when that happened, I still remember that.

00:53:59.000 Nobody heard about that in the regular news.

00:54:02.000 Nobody around me.

00:54:03.000 I think I think that's the problem, too.

00:54:04.000 You know, these these people don't want to be political.

00:54:07.000 You know, it's doomsday news all the time, all the time.

00:54:09.000 They think they're leading this happy life.

00:54:11.000 But, you know, ultimately, they're not voting.

00:54:14.000 They're not doing anything.

00:54:15.000 And the next thing you know, Like, their kids are coming home with these crazy messages, and they're, I mean, I don't know.

00:54:25.000 I wish I felt like I could be non-political, but I care too much, and I think, you know, you guys obviously do.

00:54:34.000 That's why we're here.

00:54:34.000 Yeah, we had this, uh, Tim tweeted this Plato quote about, uh, if you don't get involved in politics, the politics will get involved with you.

00:54:41.000 Well, he says the penalty for not being involved is to be ruled by evil.

00:54:44.000 And then you juxtapose that with Dan Tone, uh, who said, I'd rather have been a poor fisherman than to have meddled in the politics of man.

00:54:50.000 What I started thinking is Dan Tone was cynical.

00:54:52.000 He was angry and violent the entire time.

00:54:55.000 And he was just lashing out.

00:54:56.000 Of course you're supposed to be involved with politics.

00:54:59.000 Let me read these quotes.

00:55:00.000 Plato said, the price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

00:55:05.000 Correct.

00:55:06.000 And D'Antone said, oh, it were better to be a poor fisherman than to meddle with the government of men.

00:55:10.000 That is not true.

00:55:11.000 That is an F you to people because he was angry that they were about to execute him.

00:55:14.000 That's right.

00:55:14.000 He knows you have to be involved in the political process.

00:55:17.000 You don't have to be partisan, but you need to be involved in what's going on.

00:55:20.000 You need to know what's going on and be willing to communicate and be willing to listen.

00:55:24.000 It is the basis of our government.

00:55:26.000 We, the people, created this thing together and we're running this thing.

00:55:33.000 Yeah?

00:55:33.000 I think that's a personal reflection on the part of Dan Tone.

00:55:36.000 I think it was a sense of deep regret and frustration that he did what he did.

00:55:40.000 I don't know if he ever realized or said that it was something that needed to be done, but at the end of the day, even if you regret doing something, sometimes it is far better to have done that thing than to have not done it.

00:55:51.000 Man, no better example of living by the sword and dying by the sword, or dying by the sword, than Robespierre.

00:55:58.000 Mm-hmm.

00:55:58.000 And Danton.

00:55:59.000 Yeah, I was thinking last night the U.S.

00:56:01.000 Revolution and the French Revolution.

00:56:02.000 And the French, man, they had it tough because the king was there with them on their soil.

00:56:06.000 Like, we were far away. 0.83

00:56:07.000 And they had—they ended up cutting all these people's heads off with the guillotine.

00:56:11.000 Like, could they have won that revolution if they hadn't done that? 0.88

00:56:14.000 Dunno.

00:56:14.000 Well, that's the danger of monarchy.

00:56:17.000 It makes people crazy and desperate.

00:56:18.000 Think about the Russian Revolution.

00:56:21.000 Not Russian, but Soviets, or however you call it. 0.92

00:56:25.000 When they brought the royal family and were like, yeah, just wait here, and then later came back and just killed them all. 0.98

00:56:29.000 They were like, the problem is if you're around, you'll have influence, so you're dead. 1.00

00:56:33.000 These people are dangerous, crazy people. 0.99

00:56:34.000 The French Revolution is... 0.99

00:56:36.000 Man, you gotta read about that.

00:56:38.000 I've only read a little bit, but I'm reading more, and y'all should read about it.

00:56:41.000 Because it was a group of people.

00:56:43.000 There was anger in the streets.

00:56:44.000 They were starving.

00:56:45.000 So they have a revolution.

00:56:46.000 It happens.

00:56:47.000 Then a bunch of different factions are all in a Mexican standoff over who's gonna chop off who's head.

00:56:52.000 And they all start executing each other.

00:56:54.000 And then finally Robespierre gets it, and they're like, yay!

00:56:57.000 We finally killed the last person who was trying to get power!

00:57:00.000 Creepy. 0.83

00:57:01.000 And then Napoleon seized command and became an emperor. 0.95

00:57:04.000 That's what happens with that nonsense.

00:57:05.000 That's great.

00:57:07.000 And then you get the Napoleonic Wars.

00:57:08.000 We do not want to fight our neighbors, to be clear.

00:57:12.000 The Nazis separated people from their neighbors.

00:57:14.000 The communists in Russia separated people from their neighbors.

00:57:17.000 They had their neighbors spying, turning in their neighbors, their kids turning in their parents.

00:57:19.000 Divide and conquer. 0.98

00:57:20.000 So I understand Nance's frustration and fear.

00:57:23.000 I get that he is afraid, but right now you need to be communicating with your neighbors and creating community with your neighbors.

00:57:28.000 If you run out of food, you need to make sure that your neighborhood is secure together and that you all have enough food to eat.

00:57:33.000 You need to import the food, make sure the roads are clear, have community watch.

00:57:39.000 I think Malcolm Nance saying this is a sure sign that he hasn't talked to another actual person outside his bubble in a very long time.

00:57:47.000 There are a lot of normal people still out there who just want to take their kids to school without masks, you know, argue about that with other people.

00:57:54.000 They're not terrorists, they're working, they're trying to provide their family with a living.

00:57:57.000 They don't have time to engage with local school board who has time, right?

00:58:00.000 Let me read what he said.

00:58:02.000 He said, a year and a half ago, when I was calling this an insurgency, people were saying, that's crazy, this isn't an insurgency.

00:58:06.000 This isn't like Iraq. 0.96

00:58:08.000 It's not like Libya. 0.78

00:58:08.000 It's not like Syria. 0.78

00:58:09.000 Well, it is.

00:58:10.000 It's well on its way.

00:58:11.000 It's closer to the beginnings of the Irish Republican Army.

00:58:14.000 You know, Irish Republicanism, where now the Republican Party is Sinn Féin.

00:58:18.000 Is that how you pronounce it?

00:58:20.000 Sinn Féin.

00:58:21.000 And it's just a matter of seeing who comes up as the original Irish Republicans in this story and starts carrying out acts of violence to effect change.

00:58:29.000 That's already happening with Antifa.

00:58:31.000 It's been happening.

00:58:32.000 So we are well on our way to a multi-year campaign that we are already two years into, into this campaign, where we may have to fight them.

00:58:39.000 The they in my title and the they in my title is those who want to kill Americans are your neighbors. 0.99

00:58:47.000 That's so horrible.

00:58:49.000 We don't have a king, man.

00:58:51.000 We don't have a monarch.

00:58:54.000 Oh, I think this is a typo from Breitbart, maybe.

00:58:57.000 The they in my title and those who want to kill Americans are your neighbors. 0.99

00:59:02.000 Or I don't know.

00:59:02.000 Okay, he might have referred to a they in the title of his article.

00:59:05.000 But yeah, to me, it just sounds like he's calling you to go out in the streets and get into it with your own neighbors, which is insane.

00:59:11.000 The Irish Republicans wanted out of the British Empire.

00:59:14.000 They were stuck under imperial rule.

00:59:16.000 They didn't like it.

00:59:16.000 That's not what we're going through right now.

00:59:18.000 We're suffering a bank default, basically.

00:59:22.000 The people on the left think that it's a white supremacist 1619 government and they, look, he who controls the past controls the future, is that the saying?

00:59:31.000 Yeah.

00:59:31.000 He who controls, or no, that's not what it is, is it?

00:59:34.000 We'll look it up.

00:59:35.000 Not sure.

00:59:36.000 That sounded right to me.

00:59:37.000 Yeah, is that what it is?

00:59:37.000 Yeah.

00:59:38.000 Because there's like a full quote.

00:59:39.000 It's like, who controls the future controls the present or something.

00:59:41.000 Or controls the present controls the future.

00:59:42.000 In the past, the present will be controlled by those who, in the past, lived in the... I'm sorry. 0.94

00:59:48.000 You sound like Ella Harris now.

00:59:50.000 Yeah.

00:59:51.000 Vice President?

00:59:52.000 Harris?

00:59:52.000 Is that you?

00:59:53.000 Do you have the quote?

00:59:54.000 No, I'm pulling it up.

00:59:55.000 Sorry, my phone's really slow.

00:59:56.000 I had to update it.

00:59:57.000 You're saying who writes the history books is sort of predominating the future.

01:00:01.000 You go to people and say, hey, did you know that guy stole from you?

01:00:07.000 And you go, he did?

01:00:08.000 Yeah, he stole from you.

01:00:09.000 Why did he steal from me?

01:00:10.000 Because of your race.

01:00:12.000 Like, but I can't do anything about that. 0.99

01:00:14.000 You should beat him up. 0.96

01:00:15.000 And that's what you end up getting. 0.99

01:00:16.000 You get these extremists who are advocating for this crazy stuff.

01:00:19.000 Okay, here's the quote.

01:00:21.000 Who controls the past, controls the future.

01:00:23.000 Who controls the present, controls the past.

01:00:25.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:00:26.000 So, yeah, works out.

01:00:27.000 That's powerful.

01:00:28.000 And that's what we're seeing with people like Malcolm Nance. 0.99

01:00:32.000 The idea, it's possible he's just so dumb that he doesn't know how to read or he doesn't want to read. 0.99

01:00:38.000 I don't buy that anymore. 0.97

01:00:39.000 I used to be one of the people that gave people the benefit of the doubt and thought, you know, maybe they just don't know what they're talking about.

01:00:44.000 Maybe they're zombies.

01:00:45.000 I don't.

01:00:45.000 I don't buy that anymore.

01:00:46.000 Yeah, I don't think so.

01:00:47.000 Yeah, so if that's the case, then it's intentional.

01:00:50.000 He's intentionally trying to manipulate the facts, the data, history to cause people to be violent.

01:00:56.000 This is the point I was making with my op-ed in Newsweek.

01:00:59.000 Jamie Raskin, who represents a district like two miles away from us, who represents some of the employees here at Timcast, was spreading disinformation to radicalize people because they want violence.

01:01:13.000 Yeah, so his article reads more like a wish than a warning.

01:01:16.000 It sounds like this is exactly what he wants.

01:01:18.000 It's what he's been gunning for.

01:01:19.000 He's been, sounds like, calling for it for a long time.

01:01:22.000 The idea that he said that!

01:01:23.000 Incredible!

01:01:24.000 That we, that, we, what he says, that, uh, where we may have to fight them.

01:01:29.000 That's outright psychotic.

01:01:31.000 Like, I get it.

01:01:32.000 You do want to prepare for the worst.

01:01:34.000 You want to be... That's why people arm themselves in the U.S. 0.91

01:01:36.000 and we have the Second Amendment.

01:01:37.000 A big part of it is because if you get a totalitarian government, could be your neighbors or whatever, you need to be able to defend yourself.

01:01:44.000 I understand the sentiment, but there's like a...

01:01:48.000 A point where preparing and living in fear no longer is defensive, but becomes offensive.

01:01:55.000 And we got to make sure that people that spew rhetoric like this do not incite people to attack their neighbors preemptively.

01:02:04.000 So, Vanessa, I'm really curious what your thoughts on this are as a suburban mother of young children.

01:02:08.000 What do you think of this idea that someone's actively trying to sow discord between you and the people who literally live next door to you?

01:02:15.000 Yeah, I mean, I already feel outnumbered by my community because I lean conservative, obviously, and I'm smack in the middle of DC, a suburban DC.

01:02:28.000 You know, it's funny.

01:02:30.000 Somebody made a comment about how you can tell who the conservatives are because they're the ones who are flying the American flags.

01:02:36.000 And, you know, somebody asked me when I was when I was going to vote, you know, would you put the person's name up in your yard?

01:02:47.000 And the answer was no.

01:02:48.000 I don't I really don't want my neighbors to know my politics.

01:02:52.000 I don't I don't want to have the conversation.

01:02:54.000 I've got a nice big Jeep that I don't want messed with.

01:02:58.000 This is why the cult forms, because these people, they think.

01:03:04.000 It makes me not want to engage, and that's what's scary.

01:03:07.000 What I'm saying is, if they don't ever see it, they assume it's fringe or doesn't exist.

01:03:13.000 And there's probably a bunch of people in your neighborhood who do agree with you, but the people who are in the cult

01:03:19.000 think everyone thinks the same way they do because you don't want to put signs up in your yard.

01:03:24.000 If I did not have two very small children...

01:03:28.000 I would be a little more fearless about it, but I don't, I mean, I don't want, I don't want my stuff smashed because somebody sees, you know, maybe if I was supporting Trump, I don't want them seeing a Trump sticker.

01:03:40.000 I, you know, whoever runs.

01:03:42.000 I suppose the issue then is if you think you can keep your head down and they won't come and smash your stuff, you're wrong.

01:03:48.000 And by your, your unwillingness to actually stand up for yourself is only making the problem worse.

01:03:52.000 No, I mean, that's, that's a, I mean, you know, and I work with, I work with some different groups who are recruiting parents to run for school board.

01:04:02.000 And that's, you know, this is the big conversation that they're having, too, which is, you know, how, like, are you going to be too scared to get up in your community to really, like, help kind of take back the education system?

01:04:17.000 This is what I'm saying, though.

01:04:18.000 As a suburban mom, it is scary because you have to worry about your kids and how your kids are going to fit in and how people are going to treat your children.

01:04:28.000 And that's why I also think that my demographic is the hardest to figure out where we're at politically because most women, I think, feel my way. 1.00

01:04:39.000 It's like, we're going to vote how we vote, but we don't want to talk about it.

01:04:43.000 Why would you want your kids hanging out with Their kids. 0.96

01:04:46.000 No, you're right.

01:04:46.000 They're going to be grooming your kids.

01:04:47.000 This is a conversation that I've had with my husband, too, about leaving the area and going to a red state.

01:04:53.000 Even Eastern West Virginia, I think it's funny to say Eastern West Virginia, the schools have been infiltrated by the woke.

01:05:02.000 Because when they run for school board, they don't put any affiliation and they know they have to lie.

01:05:08.000 When the Republicans were questioning those witnesses the other day and they refused to condemn infanticide, It's because they know if they admitted their position, people would recoil in horror.

01:05:18.000 So they know they have to lie.

01:05:20.000 So what happens is in these West Virginian schools, you have wokeness, critical race theory, gender ideology, and they tell the kids, hide it from your parents.

01:05:27.000 It's even in West Virginia.

01:05:29.000 You've got to go deeper into West Virginia to get away from it.

01:05:31.000 And there's been a big backlash where locals finally started figuring out what was going on with their kids, and now people are pulling their kids out.

01:05:37.000 That's a big thing that's happening.

01:05:40.000 So I come from a single mom home and, you know, we used to kind of joke, I mean, she was able to make it to all my soccer games, she made it to all my sporting events, but she worked her butt off all the time to make sure that my sister and I were supported.

01:05:55.000 And, you know, there was one time I was busting her balls, and it's probably not even fair for me to have done this looking back now, but, you know, she couldn't name my math teacher one year.

01:06:05.000 And how many I mean, no, these parents who work, these parents who don't have the capacity to engage with school boards, all this stuff, I mean, this, you know, critical race theory and the gender ideology teachings, it's happening and parents have no idea. 0.72

01:06:20.000 And I actually think it's worse with these more rural schools without so many eyes on them because they have staff that aren't really being checked.

01:06:33.000 Like, you know, a teacher can probably get away with more because you know, the parents aren't as tuned in, the school board's

01:06:41.000 not as tuned in.

01:06:42.000 They can kind of, I don't know, I know that there was some teachers kind of in rural Wisconsin

01:06:46.000 who were getting in trouble for this.

01:06:48.000 And anyway, to your point though, my husband and I have talked about leaving.

01:06:54.000 And yeah, it's, it's.

01:06:57.000 West Virginia!

01:06:58.000 It's a great place to be.

01:06:59.000 You made a good point that it's fiscal, that people can't afford to spend time to go to their child's school.

01:07:05.000 My mom was involved because she had the luxury of having a husband that worked. 0.97

01:07:08.000 Probably the only reason.

01:07:09.000 If she had to work, she never would have been able to.

01:07:11.000 She couldn't have done it.

01:07:12.000 So it's an economic thing.

01:07:13.000 A lot of this is economic.

01:07:14.000 And you have no obligation to stage your partisanship publicly.

01:07:18.000 We have secret ballots for a reason.

01:07:20.000 People that want a virtue signal with signs in their yard, you're welcome to, but no one is expected to do that.

01:07:26.000 Well, that's why the joke in my neighborhood is that the people who are the ones, you know, flying American flags, which I do, that's our way of saying.

01:07:35.000 That's our way.

01:07:36.000 It's more subtle, but I mean, I don't think it's really even that subtle.

01:07:40.000 I think everyone in the neighborhood thinks that.

01:07:42.000 I told Seamus Coghlan to put a rainbow behind him, a rainbow flag behind him on the show, and he said, I think that would send the wrong message.

01:07:48.000 And I said, why?

01:07:50.000 Because the rainbow is God's covenant to Noah that he would not flood the earth again.

01:07:54.000 And so I said, why would you not fly your own sign out of fear that people would get the wrong idea instead of just telling people what the right idea is and standing behind symbols that were historically used by Christians?

01:08:07.000 And he said, well, okay, maybe if it's like an actual rainbow and it says something on it, we made that.

01:08:11.000 And I was like, yes, let's do that.

01:08:13.000 So right now, you have people who are saying, I will not express my support for what I believe in, other than to subtly and secretly do it in a way like flying the American flag.

01:08:22.000 Okay, well, I will say that for a lot of conservatives, politics is not our religion.

01:08:28.000 It's nowhere close to our religion.

01:08:30.000 And the way the left views politics, it is their religion.

01:08:34.000 And so You know, I want to be judged by my Christian faith.

01:08:37.000 I want to be judged by, you know, just not who I vote for.

01:08:42.000 And for me to brand my home, my car, whatever, with these campaign signs, with these campaign stickers, it's basically asking for this engagement with somebody who doesn't see the fight the same way I do.

01:08:57.000 Does that make sense?

01:08:58.000 Totally.

01:08:59.000 Yeah.

01:08:59.000 There's more than two political parties also.

01:09:03.000 Some people are blinded into the left-right paradigm.

01:09:05.000 And that's the other thing too.

01:09:06.000 I have never, like in the last few elections, there has not been a candidate who I do fully support, who I do want to fly a flag for, hang up a sign for, because I'm not wholly behind that person.

01:09:20.000 And so I guess that's another answer to your question.

01:09:24.000 When the left views politics as religion and I don't, it takes away my will to fight because it's like I'm fighting with a crazy person who does not have even the same value system as I do.

01:09:37.000 But engaging these people is extremely important.

01:09:39.000 It's beyond a different value system.

01:09:42.000 I remember watching something when I was a little kid.

01:09:44.000 I don't remember what it was.

01:09:45.000 But it was something about religion.

01:09:47.000 Maybe it was something I watched in school.

01:09:49.000 And it was a Christian who was captured in a conflict with Muslims.

01:09:55.000 It was like a Crusades thing or something like that.

01:09:57.000 And they told him to renounce his God and he said, no. 0.99

01:09:59.000 And they were like, if you don't renounce your God, we'll kill you. 1.00

01:10:01.000 And he said, then I'll die. 1.00

01:10:02.000 And they kill him. 1.00

01:10:03.000 And I thought that was so dumb. 1.00

01:10:05.000 I'm like, you're saying words. 0.99

01:10:06.000 You're just saying words.

01:10:07.000 Like, you will live if you just say, oh yeah, oh man, oh wow, you're so right!

01:10:11.000 I totally do.

01:10:13.000 And I never understood.

01:10:14.000 Because I think, you know, try and survive.

01:10:18.000 But now, seeing what's going on in this country and in this world with the woke, psychotic, you know, nonsense, and watching Star Trek The Next Generation, how many lights are there?

01:10:29.000 And now I get it.

01:10:31.000 So you see these people.

01:10:33.000 It's not just a difference of values.

01:10:37.000 You see the color blue, they see the color green.

01:10:41.000 They literally do not see the same thing as you.

01:10:43.000 And so it doesn't matter what you say to them.

01:10:46.000 They will get violent and they will attack you because they're in a cult and they're in a violent cult.

01:10:50.000 Wreck my Jeep.

01:10:51.000 It matters what you say.

01:10:53.000 You can communicate.

01:10:54.000 If they see a symbol, then that's going to be challenging.

01:10:57.000 Because like, for instance, this Nazi swastika was like remnant of like a Hindu symbol of the wheel of life. 0.50

01:11:03.000 It's like a mirror image of it.

01:11:04.000 So if I were to put a mirror image of the swastika behind me, Uh, that's not gonna put forth a good message, even though I know it's a symbol of peace. 0.97

01:11:12.000 Yes.

01:11:12.000 It's gonna piss a lot of people off.

01:11:14.000 I was in Austin, and there's an antique shop, it's a famous antique shop, and they got swastikas all over the joint.

01:11:19.000 They're the real ones, not the Nazi one, they're the inverted Hindu ones. 1.00

01:11:23.000 And I asked the guy about it, and he said, he's like, oh yeah, I got it on my keychain, we've got mugs here, and he's like, in the early 1900s, these were all over everyone's houses, they were good luck symbols.

01:11:34.000 And then I was like, you're not worried about people seeing that?

01:11:36.000 And he's like, nope.

01:11:38.000 And I was like, oh, okay.

01:11:39.000 Like that's what I'm saying.

01:11:40.000 Like, I think that's, that's bold to be willing to be like, I assert what this means and, you know, do something about it.

01:11:49.000 I think there's a time and a place to utilize symbology for your cause, because if the temperature was right politically or mentally... Symbolism.

01:11:56.000 Symbolism!

01:11:57.000 That I could... That was a Boondock Saints reference.

01:11:59.000 Sorry, I had to do it.

01:11:59.000 I could show the swastika, reverse mirror image swastika.

01:12:03.000 Like, I could do it if the environment was ready for it.

01:12:06.000 Then you can have the discussion and show the symbol.

01:12:08.000 But otherwise it's like a spark with wet wood.

01:12:13.000 It's not going to catalyze anything.

01:12:17.000 People are like, why are you setting that?

01:12:19.000 I'm going to make the symbol for individual liberty, personal responsibility, and freedom.

01:12:25.000 Like a puppy or something.

01:12:27.000 It's gonna be like a little dog, like, playing with a toy.

01:12:30.000 Golden Retriever?

01:12:31.000 And that's all it will be.

01:12:32.000 A baby Golden Retriever on a flag, because you have the means to print these beautiful images on flags these days.

01:12:37.000 And then people will be, like, marching angry, like, with this flag, with, like, a little Golden Retriever puppy, like, playfully playing.

01:12:44.000 Well, that's basically what the left does, right?

01:12:45.000 They wrap their craziness in pretty untouchable packages and then we're all evil for going against it.

01:12:53.000 Yeah, like the Cat O' Nine tales.

01:12:55.000 Each lash is a different color.

01:12:56.000 That's so beautiful.

01:12:57.000 Yeah, that's a great idea.

01:12:59.000 Before we move on, I did want to say, I know it's different when you ask a mom what she wants to do about it than when you ask a dad what he's going to do about it.

01:13:05.000 Because moms take a very different approach than dads can and should. 0.72

01:13:09.000 And I also wanted to say that I think this is a deeply cultural problem because, like Ian was saying, It does require two incomes to survive, like very much where we are, especially.

01:13:18.000 It's very expensive to live.

01:13:19.000 I know the cost of living isn't cheap.

01:13:21.000 Both parents have to be working to some extent, and I understand it's hard.

01:13:25.000 But at the same time, you could flip it on its head and be that person who's so nice, so friendly, and so involved in the community that when they find out that you support someone like, I don't know, Youngkin, Well, that's kind of always my goal.

01:13:37.000 You know, I always kind of find that I have a very, very close-knit group of friends.

01:13:42.000 And I do have a lot of friends, guys.

01:13:45.000 But, you know, those who I know feel differently than I do politically, I kind of wait.

01:13:52.000 Right.

01:13:52.000 And it's almost like I have this personal moment where I come out to them and I get to kind of break it to them, like, look, I know you respect me as a person, as a mom, as a friend.

01:14:02.000 I respect you.

01:14:03.000 And it's sad, but it feels like in this area, because everybody is so hyperpolitical, you know, you have to kind of earn that trust first as somebody who leans conservative before you break it to them.

01:14:18.000 I got an idea. What you do is you hold a local community gathering and you say it's going to be

01:14:24.000 a big event for pride or something. When people show up with my puppy dog flag, what they're

01:14:29.000 going to see is you get a venue with a bunch of TVs and on all the TVs are like, you know,

01:14:34.000 rainbow flags. And then once everyone's inside, you say, everyone gather around for a group photo.

01:14:40.000 And then you press a button, all the TVs turn to Trump 2024.

01:14:42.000 And then a bunch of Trump flags unfurl and you start taking pictures.

01:14:46.000 And that's it.

01:14:47.000 And then you post them all on Facebook.

01:14:50.000 There you go.

01:14:52.000 Instead of gender reveals, you have political party reveals.

01:14:55.000 But think about what would happen, right?

01:14:57.000 That's what it feels like.

01:14:59.000 Truly.

01:15:00.000 All these woke people show up and they're all standing there smiling for a photo that says Trump 2024 just across the walls, banners, and then you post it online, they're gonna be like, I swear that's not what I was there for!

01:15:09.000 They're gonna be like, you're lying, you're a Trump supporter.

01:15:12.000 It would just cause so much discord because the left likes eating each other, destroying themselves, that it would eviscerate.

01:15:19.000 There was a guy who was going to all the protests in 2020 and putting Trump stickers on the back of all their cars.

01:15:26.000 Someone got attacked for that, I think.

01:15:27.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:15:28.000 There was a video of a woman that threw a brick through her window because someone put a Trump sticker on her car at the protest or something like that.

01:15:34.000 That's crazy.

01:15:34.000 That's vandalism, by the way.

01:15:35.000 It is.

01:15:36.000 Yeah, it sure is.

01:15:36.000 Yeah, don't put stickers on people's cars.

01:15:38.000 It's very bad.

01:15:38.000 Yeah, that's not your property.

01:15:39.000 But in this area, even before January 6th, the 2020 election was so freaking polarized.

01:15:47.000 There's no way anybody in my neighborhood, even if they were a Trump supporter, would have You are right, though.

01:15:53.000 I mean, activism is so important.

01:15:54.000 You have to make the case.

01:15:55.000 You have to fight for your communities.

01:15:57.000 You have to run for school board.

01:15:58.000 That's why we have secret ballots because people would get lynched in the past for that

01:16:01.000 kind of thing.

01:16:02.000 So yeah, you're gonna know.

01:16:03.000 Yeah.

01:16:04.000 But what you do is it's so simple.

01:16:06.000 You are right, though.

01:16:07.000 I mean, activism is so important.

01:16:08.000 You have to make the case.

01:16:10.000 You have to fight for your communities.

01:16:11.000 You have to run for school board.

01:16:12.000 You have to fight back.

01:16:13.000 Do you do you live in like a residential area with like next door neighbors right next to

01:16:18.000 So what you got to do is, you got to buy what's called a ghillie suit.

01:16:21.000 Do you know what a ghillie suit is?

01:16:22.000 Oh my gosh.

01:16:23.000 For a sniper, right?

01:16:24.000 Yeah.

01:16:24.000 It's like, it's like a bush cop.

01:16:26.000 You're like, you're like.

01:16:26.000 Yeah, that's what I thought it was.

01:16:28.000 I was like, is he saying this?

01:16:29.000 Okay.

01:16:30.000 You put the signs up in your yard, and then you get a couple of your friends, maybe your husband and his friends, and they just, you know, lie out and wait.

01:16:38.000 And then when someone comes by with the brick, they just walk up very, very politely and just grab the brick and say, no.

01:16:43.000 I could also home alone them.

01:16:47.000 Right?

01:16:47.000 No.

01:16:48.000 Macaulay Culkin?

01:16:50.000 I believe that's illegal.

01:16:52.000 Apparently, booby trapping your house is illegal.

01:16:54.000 No, no, no.

01:16:54.000 She's talking about when the mannequins are, like, dancing.

01:16:56.000 Oh, that you can do.

01:16:57.000 Well, what's that crazy movie he plays with the Tommy gun?

01:17:00.000 Oh, yeah.

01:17:01.000 It's not a real movie.

01:17:03.000 That was actually made for you.

01:17:05.000 Well, we can still get the audio.

01:17:09.000 Use the movie from Home Alone.

01:17:10.000 Filthy Animal. 1.00

01:17:11.000 Joe Pesci's ass. 1.00

01:17:13.000 Who's the other guy that played the two robbers? 1.00

01:17:16.000 Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.

01:17:18.000 What an amazing voiceover actor.

01:17:20.000 Love him.

01:17:20.000 You know he directed Ricky of the Year, the baseball movie with the kid who can throw the ball around?

01:17:26.000 Movie moment with Brett.

01:17:29.000 He was the voice of the adult dude on Wonder Years, right?

01:17:32.000 Wasn't that him?

01:17:33.000 Yes.

01:17:34.000 So we had a security issue.

01:17:35.000 I'm not going to say exactly where, but you know, personal.

01:17:38.000 And I was like, we have ghillie suits because Luke bought ghillie suits.

01:17:43.000 And then I was like, all right, let's do this.

01:17:45.000 And then the issue stopped.

01:17:49.000 So we never actually had a chance to get the guys out in ghillie suits to go out and lay in the fields.

01:17:54.000 You got to do a whole show in them.

01:17:56.000 One whole show.

01:17:57.000 Luke wanted to do it.

01:18:00.000 He's like, everybody should wear a ghillie suit. 1.00

01:18:02.000 I do want to point out that, like, you mentioned the part about the American flags.

01:18:05.000 I remember during the election, Rogan O'Hanley, the DC Drano, he pointed out, he said, is it weird that lately, just seeing an American flag, I automatically assume that they're Republican.

01:18:15.000 I said, eh, because I'm not a Republican, and I know I have friends who are.

01:18:20.000 My last boss at my last job was a, you know, blue dog Democrat, believed in owning firearms, but was so anti-Trump, it was hard to believe. 0.68

01:18:27.000 I said, I don't think that's necessarily true.

01:18:29.000 that somebody's just because they support the American flag or that that means that they're

01:18:33.000 Republican. But I definitely think that it does mean a lot to say that they probably aren't far,

01:18:38.000 far left because they're the ones who every time you have to post something for Fourth of July,

01:18:42.000 there's that one dude who has to come into your page and be like, why would you post that hate

01:18:45.000 symbol of a flag in your thing? They're just there to ruin everything. Well, I think that's kind of

01:18:49.000 what the the issue is, is that everything is such a slippery slope now into the culture wars.

01:18:56.000 And it's like, okay, well, I want to support, you know, Black Lives Matter.

01:19:01.000 And then that turns into now I can't, you know, stand for the anthem.

01:19:06.000 And now the flag is offensive.

01:19:08.000 And you have to support infanticide.

01:19:09.000 And you have to support infanticide.

01:19:11.000 It's a whole package deal.

01:19:13.000 Yeah.

01:19:13.000 And it's, yeah, it just, everything feels like such a freaking slippery slope now.

01:19:18.000 And nobody wants to touch any issue.

01:19:19.000 Seamus made a good point.

01:19:20.000 He said, if anything, the left's proven it's not a slippery slope at all.

01:19:23.000 It's a sheer cliff.

01:19:24.000 And it's just straight down.

01:19:27.000 Do you think the average person is, is clued into abortion beyond the idea that they just think it's?

01:19:32.000 I hung out in New York with a friend of mine I've known for a really long time.

01:19:36.000 And he's, he talks politics sometimes.

01:19:38.000 And he said, it's just crazy that they're, they're going to be banning abortion and stuff like that.

01:19:43.000 He wasn't as ignorant to think that the Supreme Court decision did that.

01:19:46.000 He was talking about the states.

01:19:47.000 And I said, yeah, I was like, I get it, you know, because there are certain issues where there have to be exceptions and stuff like that.

01:19:53.000 But look, man, what's the alternative?

01:19:54.000 The Democrats legalize abortion to the point of birth?

01:19:57.000 And he goes, What?

01:19:59.000 No.

01:19:59.000 And I was like, that's the bill they just tried to pass in Joe Manchin block.

01:20:03.000 And he goes, no, that's not true.

01:20:05.000 You got to be wrong.

01:20:06.000 And I said, okay, here, read it.

01:20:08.000 And he read it and he goes, what?

01:20:11.000 And I was like, it says post-viability abortion if the mother's health is threatened, right?

01:20:16.000 And he goes, yeah, that's like a medical issue.

01:20:18.000 And I said, what does post-viability mean?

01:20:21.000 And he's like, what is it?

01:20:22.000 I'm like, it means the baby can survive on its own.

01:20:23.000 And he's like, okay.

01:20:24.000 And then I'm like, here's the CDC definition of abortion.

01:20:27.000 It ends the life of the baby.

01:20:29.000 And then I'm like, this bill legalizes if the mother is in any way at risk, you can terminate the life of a baby that can survive on its own.

01:20:38.000 And he was like, I don't know.

01:20:40.000 This doesn't make sense.

01:20:41.000 This can't be right.

01:20:42.000 And I'm like, bro, I read this stuff all day, every day.

01:20:44.000 I just showed you.

01:20:45.000 What more do you have to say?

01:20:47.000 Well, it's like 100% agenda-setting theory.

01:20:49.000 I mean, this is, it's totally, the mainstream media, the media knows that that is not what people should hear to support them, so they just don't cover it and then people don't know.

01:21:02.000 Let's say and that's it like for me.

01:21:03.000 This is one of those things where I didn't get as much pushback on my social media of people talking about rovery weight as much as I thought I would but there was a couple of people who I was actually surprised Talking about it in a sense.

01:21:14.000 I was gonna bring up, you know third tries like Northam tried to introduce this and Ages ago.

01:21:19.000 And then you get into what you're talking about.

01:21:21.000 Then you have to have this long conversation with someone.

01:21:24.000 Like, I don't have the time of day.

01:21:26.000 Dude, I'm freaking busy during the day.

01:21:27.000 I can't sit here and write and tell somebody what post-birth abortion is.

01:21:31.000 You can't abort something that's been finished.

01:21:34.000 That literally makes no sense.

01:21:35.000 But then I have to explain that to them.

01:21:37.000 And I don't have the time of day to do that.

01:21:38.000 It's always a two-step process.

01:21:40.000 You can't just say what your position is.

01:21:43.000 You have to first explain to them why they're completely misled and confused.

01:21:47.000 And frankly, it's a lot of work and it's a really good way to lose friends.

01:21:50.000 And I think that's a big part of the problem is people just don't have the time of day.

01:21:54.000 And doing that communication digitally doesn't help because I know you've talked about a lot.

01:21:59.000 You know, the concept of conversing with someone in person is a lot different than the concept of trying to talk to someone online where there's no context, where there's no tone of voice.

01:22:07.000 Yeah, well no, even people you like, you generally like or get along with, your tone of voice can't be discerned, your body language can't be discerned, and having such a serious discussion about a topic that important, when you've got 20 minutes free on your lunch break, isn't viable.

01:22:22.000 It's not a real thing.

01:22:23.000 For instance, me and Elijah Schaefer, he's like one of my best, I think he's one of my best, I love the guy, but when we're in text, man do we oil and water.

01:22:31.000 It is not, we do not have the same style, and I'm like, I'm just not gonna like, Because I know he's joking, but it doesn't seem like that in text.

01:22:37.000 So I don't, I'm just not messing with that crap.

01:22:39.000 And that feeling is just the worst. 1.00

01:22:40.000 He messaged you and he's like, hey, you smelly hippie. 0.98

01:22:42.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.98

01:22:42.000 I knew he'd hog, you know, in real life. 0.98

01:22:45.000 No, but that feeling is the worst when you, when you, when you get a text and, and, and, you know, you can feel like the hair stand up on the back of your neck, you know, it's just ugly territory that it's going.

01:22:57.000 And yeah, I mean, but, but who, who has the time to meet with these people and have like, let's, Let's go out to coffee and talk politics.

01:23:03.000 That sounds like something my dad wants to do that I don't want to do.

01:23:05.000 I think if within a week of your life you're able to help one person open up their mind, that's enough.

01:23:12.000 If everyone can do that, that's enough.

01:23:15.000 Well, and that's the that's why it's local elections and school board elections and stuff are so important.

01:23:19.000 And, you know, it's so important to make time and get involved in everything.

01:23:23.000 But, you know, with with Republicans turning into morphing into the ones who are the working party, they just don't have time.

01:23:31.000 And and it's it's it's hard to.

01:23:34.000 It's hard to represent your politics when you are working your butt off and trying to support your family.

01:23:40.000 Yeah, when the people that you've entrusted with the power bankrupt you or your surroundings, and then are like, sorry, we're just going to take your kid for you and make sure that it has, like, we'll make sure that you get money from us now, you're on our dime.

01:23:58.000 That's very destructive for a government to do that to its citizens.

01:24:02.000 I can't blame particularly the governors and the representatives and things like that because a lot of it's ignorance but, oh man.

01:24:12.000 It's just so sad.

01:24:13.000 You know, schools are supposed to be for kids and now the schools are places for, you know, adults to live out their fantasies of what they want people to believe and it's just, it's gotten really twisted.

01:24:26.000 Well, these teachers have never grown up themselves.

01:24:29.000 Right.

01:24:30.000 So you see this in the weird, creepy ways that it manifests.

01:24:34.000 They have not matured into adults.

01:24:36.000 They've not experienced hardship.

01:24:37.000 They've not experienced responsibility.

01:24:39.000 They want everything paid for by the government, but they don't realize the government is comprised of the people.

01:24:45.000 So when all these people are like, the government should provide services.

01:24:49.000 Who was it who told us that?

01:24:50.000 Was that Matt Bender?

01:24:51.000 I wasn't on that show.

01:24:51.000 I think the government should provide services to us.

01:24:54.000 That's what the goal of government is.

01:24:55.000 And I'm like, okay, then who is doing it?

01:24:58.000 Like the individual who is doing it, the government.

01:25:00.000 And I'm like, right, but who in the government?

01:25:01.000 And he's like, what do you mean?

01:25:03.000 It's like, I don't think they just don't understand.

01:25:04.000 And he said, the government will pay for it.

01:25:06.000 And I'm like, so they'll pay someone to do it?

01:25:07.000 Yeah.

01:25:08.000 And I'm like, and where does that money come from?

01:25:09.000 Yeah.

01:25:10.000 What do you mean?

01:25:11.000 They just print it.

01:25:12.000 They just print it.

01:25:13.000 They just print it, that's my favorite.

01:25:15.000 Labor is exchanged for labor.

01:25:17.000 Currency is a universal trade medium to make it easier.

01:25:21.000 The resources and energy have to come from somewhere.

01:25:23.000 We do not live in a world of magic infinity that you can just replicate food.

01:25:28.000 Hey, maybe one day when we have replicators, maybe we'll get past a lot of these problems.

01:25:32.000 How about that?

01:25:32.000 A lot of this just comes from taking civics out of class in like junior high and high school.

01:25:36.000 The fact that they just don't have it anymore.

01:25:38.000 Yeah, they don't have it.

01:25:39.000 They're not even offering it.

01:25:40.000 That they want the kids to be as uninformed about the governmental process as possible.

01:25:44.000 Just gotta bring that home ec.

01:25:46.000 Shop!

01:25:46.000 Yeah, home ec was good.

01:25:47.000 When I realized I could cook in sixth grade, that was such a morale boost.

01:25:50.000 It's great, right?

01:25:51.000 Yeah.

01:25:52.000 It actually tasted good.

01:25:53.000 It was like oatmeal or something.

01:25:56.000 Great, yeah.

01:25:56.000 The concept of shop is kind of crazy to me.

01:25:58.000 It's like, all right, kids, here's a table saw.

01:26:00.000 Get around.

01:26:00.000 Get going.

01:26:01.000 Well, it's crazy because we did it.

01:26:03.000 And we had shooting club in schools.

01:26:04.000 Yeah, it's fun.

01:26:05.000 Now it's like, your scissors have to be made of plastic and you still can't run with them.

01:26:09.000 Ugh.

01:26:09.000 You know?

01:26:10.000 That's what school is.

01:26:12.000 It's too much safety culture.

01:26:13.000 Everybody wear your bubble wrap and surround yourself by plastic cubicles so you don't cough on each other.

01:26:17.000 Yeah, this is a result of treating school like as if it's only for girls. 0.80

01:26:21.000 You need it to be for boys as well.

01:26:22.000 You need to teach boys to make stuff and mess stuff up and fight constructively with each other, like fencing or wrestling.

01:26:28.000 There'd be a lot less Adderall prescribed too if they made school more efficiently for boys.

01:26:32.000 Well, look, man, if you're a company that produces some kind of drug for kids, you're going to be marketing as much as possible that kids need drugs.

01:26:41.000 I wonder.

01:26:42.000 I was just thinking about Pfizer.

01:26:43.000 They make money, man.

01:26:43.000 Like how much money Pfizer made off of the pandemic.

01:26:47.000 So this is my critique of capitalism.

01:26:49.000 That pharmaceutical companies do good things.

01:26:51.000 They do.

01:26:52.000 They create drugs and treatments that do well.

01:26:54.000 And then you actually had, there's a story that, I can't remember what it was, but it was like a pharmaceutical exec who argued, or I think it was a bank, Yeah.

01:27:01.000 They argued, perhaps curing things is not a viable option for our long-term revenue goals.

01:27:07.000 Because then people don't buy your product anymore. So you need people to stay on the drug to keep

01:27:14.000 giving you money. You end up with commercials. I love these commercials where it's like,

01:27:19.000 is Florbana right for you? Ask your doctor. And I'm like, I don't even know what the drug does.

01:27:22.000 They never tell you.

01:27:23.000 Just show me a drug, I better call them and ask them.

01:27:25.000 Maybe I need drugs.

01:27:25.000 But the side effects are vomiting.

01:27:27.000 Death.

01:27:28.000 Maybe death.

01:27:29.000 Side effects may include death.

01:27:32.000 So there's people running through like trees and wilderness and it's like what does that have to do with the drugs?

01:27:37.000 It is free market suicide when big companies that make, say, a pharmaceutical like Adderall or something to that effect say, we need to sell more of it.

01:27:45.000 How do we do it?

01:27:46.000 Let's lobby for a change in the diagnostic criteria for what children are experiencing to get more kids on our product and then get more prescriptions and more insurance companies to pay for it.

01:27:56.000 Now I got a whole bunch of kids on a whole bunch of crazy cocktails of SSRIs and uppers and downers and lefters and writers and whatever else.

01:28:04.000 Yeah, especially after all the school closures and the mask mandates and all the kids missing out on major life events.

01:28:11.000 It's just heartbreaking.

01:28:13.000 It's like I'm looking at a puzzle that's missing like seven.

01:28:15.000 It's got like a thousand pieces and there's like 17 of them are missing.

01:28:18.000 I can see it, but I don't know exactly what it is.

01:28:21.000 I know that the Federal Reserve is in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry somehow.

01:28:27.000 That the government feels beholden to the pharmaceutical industry for money, But that money is Federal Reserve money.

01:28:33.000 So why doesn't the government just say, we're taking control of the finances.

01:28:37.000 We're still going to print our own.

01:28:38.000 We're cutting you out.

01:28:39.000 We don't want sick people. 0.97

01:28:41.000 You don't profit off of more sick people.

01:28:43.000 We don't want more sick people.

01:28:44.000 You profit when there's less sick people.

01:28:46.000 And the profit is a healthy society.

01:28:48.000 It's not of the money.

01:28:49.000 You don't need pieces of cotton in your pocket to be healthy.

01:28:53.000 You need food.

01:28:54.000 We need to be able to transport the food.

01:28:56.000 You would have to assume that your government would want what is best for you, and I do not at this point in any way.

01:29:02.000 Yeah, it's too massive.

01:29:04.000 The individuals in government want what's best for themselves.

01:29:06.000 But the real question is, do you want what's best for you?

01:29:09.000 And I've asked that to everybody.

01:29:10.000 That's why I stopped eating sugar.

01:29:12.000 That's a good point.

01:29:12.000 If you really want it, you'll do it.

01:29:14.000 And that's the first step because the government is us.

01:29:17.000 Yeah, they ask you that when you're diagnosed with MS.

01:29:19.000 They're like, who is responsible for making this better for you?

01:29:23.000 Is it your, you know, your family members, whatever?

01:29:25.000 And I was like, it's obviously me, but thanks for asking.

01:29:28.000 And they're like, good, you're going to do great.

01:29:30.000 You know what I had for dinner?

01:29:32.000 I had tuna salad.

01:29:35.000 It was jarred tuna.

01:29:36.000 Oh my.

01:29:37.000 Yeah, not canned.

01:29:37.000 It was in glass jars.

01:29:38.000 I don't want any of that metal in my tuna.

01:29:40.000 Smart.

01:29:41.000 It was tuna salad on a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and avocado.

01:29:45.000 Because I am eating healthy.

01:29:46.000 Man, that sounds epic.

01:29:47.000 Because I want what's best for me.

01:29:49.000 Any additives?

01:29:50.000 Salt or anything?

01:29:51.000 I think there was salt in it.

01:29:52.000 Allison made it.

01:29:53.000 I think every time I see Ian cooking, it's lentils.

01:29:56.000 Dude, they're so good.

01:29:58.000 Red lentils, too.

01:29:58.000 Red lentils will splooge into a goo.

01:30:01.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:30:01.000 I don't like where this is going. 0.71

01:30:03.000 Thank you for that.

01:30:05.000 You mix it with boiled sweet potatoes and carrots.

01:30:07.000 You boil the lentils slowly over like 20 minutes.

01:30:10.000 You get a sauce out of it.

01:30:11.000 Basically confirming what I said.

01:30:13.000 Protein sauce.

01:30:14.000 You'll walk in the kitchen and have stuff all like, oh, what are you making today?

01:30:17.000 Lentils.

01:30:17.000 Lentils?

01:30:18.000 Yeah.

01:30:18.000 A stew.

01:30:19.000 It's a stew.

01:30:19.000 I'm like, what's the stew made of?

01:30:20.000 Lentils.

01:30:20.000 You toast them in oil before you put the water in and start to boil them.

01:30:23.000 It breaks open pores in the lentils, so it's more subservient to the infusion.

01:30:29.000 There's a cooking show in the works.

01:30:31.000 I know, right?

01:30:32.000 Come on.

01:30:32.000 We actually have a really good idea for a set already for the cooking show.

01:30:36.000 Awesome.

01:30:36.000 Yeah.

01:30:37.000 I was a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.

01:30:40.000 Did you guys ever watch?

01:30:41.000 Oh, yes.

01:30:41.000 Because it's like, you can't smell the food, you can't taste the food, but watching it is still awesome.

01:30:46.000 Yeah.

01:30:47.000 I always loved it when Gordon Ramsay would, like, find some awful restaurant, but they had really good food.

01:30:53.000 And it was always awesome to see him be excited for the food being good, and then lament the bad management.

01:30:59.000 It's like, he's a chef who's coming in to make your food better, but he's like, why are you taking orders this way?

01:31:06.000 How come no one's answering the phone?

01:31:07.000 And I'm like, sounds like a business manager consultant.

01:31:10.000 But I mean, he runs successful restaurants too.

01:31:12.000 It was always great, too, when you'd find a small hole in the wall that was perfect in every way, and you'd be like, wow, I wish more people knew about this place.

01:31:18.000 It's amazing.

01:31:19.000 One in Louisiana.

01:31:20.000 That little old lady? 1.00

01:31:21.000 Yeah.

01:31:22.000 That was a good episode.

01:31:23.000 Diners, drive-ins, and dives.

01:31:24.000 He was like, this is the best I've ever had.

01:31:25.000 I love him.

01:31:25.000 Remember that show?

01:31:26.000 I love Guy Fieri so much.

01:31:27.000 Which one?

01:31:28.000 Diners, drive-ins, and dives.

01:31:29.000 That show's amazing.

01:31:30.000 Remember Man Vs. Food? 0.86

01:31:32.000 Yes!

01:31:33.000 That was insane.

01:31:34.000 That was gross.

01:31:35.000 I know.

01:31:36.000 And after he would eat all that crazy food, he would run on a treadmill.

01:31:40.000 I mean, he had to.

01:31:42.000 But you know, he probably didn't eat as much as people would assume he would be eating.

01:31:45.000 Like, you think he's eating that way every day.

01:31:46.000 I think the craziest one was when he tried eating those ghost pepper wings.

01:31:51.000 And it was like, not a lot of food, but it's just ghost peppers.

01:31:54.000 It's not even food, why would you eat it?

01:31:57.000 I don't know what that is.

01:31:58.000 What is it?

01:31:59.000 Ghost pepper?

01:31:59.000 Yeah.

01:31:59.000 It used to be the hottest pepper.

01:32:01.000 Now what, Carolina Reaper is it?

01:32:03.000 I think so.

01:32:03.000 It might be the hottest pepper on earth.

01:32:04.000 They probably have hybridized something.

01:32:06.000 He probably actually lost weight off of those then.

01:32:08.000 Your face swells up.

01:32:09.000 He's tearing.

01:32:10.000 You get sick.

01:32:10.000 The Moruga Scorpion I think is what it's called.

01:32:12.000 Moruga Scorpion.

01:32:13.000 Gosh, a new thing.

01:32:14.000 Why would anybody eat the Moruga?

01:32:16.000 With that name, why would you eat that?

01:32:18.000 I worked at a Buffalo Wild Wings when I was in college.

01:32:22.000 And the frat guys that would come in and order those Blazin' Wings. 1.00

01:32:25.000 That is, they're not there to eat.

01:32:28.000 That's a, that's like a gross mission.

01:32:30.000 They're there to show off.

01:32:33.000 No, yes, yes.

01:32:34.000 Nobody can, nobody eats that hot stuff to enjoy it.

01:32:38.000 I think they do, but I don't know how.

01:32:41.000 Sick. 0.64

01:32:41.000 A weird young adult male rite of passage. 0.64

01:32:44.000 Yes.

01:32:45.000 We got these, a bunch of different spicy peppers.

01:32:48.000 I'm not sure the company that you had ordered them from.

01:32:50.000 Oh yeah, those are amazing.

01:32:51.000 So I decided I'm going to try them all.

01:32:53.000 And it was like hotter, hotter, hotter.

01:32:54.000 And you see like, what is it?

01:32:55.000 The ICUs or whatever, the temperature scale goes up off the chart.

01:33:00.000 And I'm like, just put a little in my palm and lick it.

01:33:02.000 And I'm like sitting there breathing for five minutes.

01:33:05.000 But it's real.

01:33:06.000 I went to a hot sauce store.

01:33:07.000 There's one at the Grove in Los Angeles.

01:33:09.000 It's amazing.

01:33:09.000 And I'm like, what's your hottest hot sauce?

01:33:11.000 And they show me this crazy stuff.

01:33:13.000 And I look at it.

01:33:14.000 They add capsaicin to it.

01:33:15.000 And I'm like, no, no, no, no.

01:33:16.000 I want like a real hot sauce that's naturally spicy.

01:33:21.000 And then it's like Carolina Reaper stuff.

01:33:23.000 But you can actually buy artificially enhanced hot sauce.

01:33:26.000 And so I bought a vial of it.

01:33:28.000 And then, it's Scoville rating, I think it's called.

01:33:31.000 And I brought it to my friend's house, and it was this little vial.

01:33:33.000 And he was like, I'll try it, but before I do, he dabbed it on his skin, and he's like, let's just see what happens.

01:33:38.000 His skin blistered.

01:33:40.000 And then he was like, okay, I'm not eating that.

01:33:42.000 Isn't capsaicin the stuff they put in pepper spray?

01:33:44.000 Yeah.

01:33:45.000 You'll only get one ton.

01:33:46.000 Yeah, don't ruin it.

01:33:50.000 You can buy pure capsaicin too.

01:33:52.000 It helps with pain.

01:33:53.000 Oh, really?

01:33:53.000 Yeah.

01:33:53.000 Very interesting.

01:33:54.000 Cause it like nukes your nerves.

01:33:55.000 I don't know why it works, but it's fascinating that it does.

01:33:58.000 It melts your nerves off so you can't feel anything anymore.

01:34:01.000 I just, I feel like I just ate something spicy having this conversation.

01:34:06.000 I want to eat something spicy now.

01:34:09.000 When you can get your body to a point where like, it's not spicy anymore.

01:34:12.000 I think you can build out of it.

01:34:13.000 I don't know if it's like, if it's sugar or something that makes it more spicy, makes it like almost incomprehensible.

01:34:19.000 Yeah.

01:34:20.000 SHUs.

01:34:21.000 Scoville Heat Units.

01:34:22.000 There it is.

01:34:22.000 Wow.

01:34:23.000 I don't know how we got to hot sauce, but... Yeah, it's fun.

01:34:25.000 Bring it in.

01:34:25.000 All right, everybody.

01:34:35.000 Really got to check out our Monday members-only show, the After Hour Show with Dave Landau, because we were just laughing ridiculously.

01:34:41.000 It was very, very funny.

01:34:42.000 Dave's brilliant.

01:34:43.000 We had Dave and Jamie Kilstein.

01:34:44.000 They're both so funny.

01:34:45.000 It was just hilariously hilarious.

01:34:47.000 And we're gonna have a members-only after-hours show coming up tonight at 11 p.m.

01:34:51.000 You'll see it on the front page.

01:34:52.000 It appears right there on the front page in the top left.

01:34:54.000 But for now, we will read your Super Chats.

01:34:58.000 Nick Koenig says, rest in peace for their mother.

01:35:00.000 I know how bad it is to lose a parent.

01:35:03.000 My father died right before COVID, and I feel for them.

01:35:05.000 Nothing but love for them.

01:35:07.000 Right on, man.

01:35:08.000 Gadsden says, Tim, this is killing me.

01:35:10.000 Have you unpaused your fan mail yet?

01:35:12.000 I need to send you my National Divorce book.

01:35:15.000 Also, the book is on Amazon and Audible now, too.

01:35:17.000 Just look up National Divorce. 1.00

01:35:18.000 It's the only book on the subject.

01:35:20.000 For security reasons, we have to rethink how we do mail and until then, I don't know.

01:35:26.000 So I'm sorry, you know, we don't have it.

01:35:29.000 Ivan Ooze says, please have Alex Stein come on the show.

01:35:32.000 Tucker Carlson is his biological dad.

01:35:34.000 Interesting request.

01:35:35.000 Stay tuned tomorrow.

01:35:38.000 It's gonna be funny when he cancels on us now.

01:35:40.000 I know, right?

01:35:42.000 Waffle Sensei says, if everyone accepted the risk of standing up and speaking out, then there would be no risk for standing up and speaking out.

01:35:49.000 And then three gorilla emojis.

01:35:50.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:35:51.000 Thank you, Waffle Sensei.

01:35:52.000 He's often on Pop Culture Crisis, interacting with us.

01:35:56.000 Right on.

01:35:57.000 Making money fly up in the air.

01:35:58.000 That's right.

01:35:58.000 Yes, he does.

01:35:59.000 He's great.

01:36:01.000 Alright. Let's see what we got here.

01:36:04.000 NotThatGuy says, Woke is destroying our culture.

01:36:08.000 Wizards is leading the way. It is.

01:36:09.000 The Dragon's Horde Trading Company does not bow to SJW pressure.

01:36:14.000 Luxury gaming accessories handmade by straight white disabled male veteran on the farm.

01:36:18.000 Ah.

01:36:20.000 I know Wizards of the Coast.

01:36:20.000 The Dragon's Horde Trading Company?

01:36:22.000 Looking it up.

01:36:23.000 I know Wizards of the Coast and a lot of, like, the magic world is gone.

01:36:26.000 Like, tabletop gaming is, like, you think everything else is woke.

01:36:28.000 There's nothing woker than tabletop gaming.

01:36:31.000 And this is, the problem is, it's woke capitalism.

01:36:35.000 So here's what happens.

01:36:36.000 Somebody makes a game where it's, you know, wizards fighting each other.

01:36:39.000 It's a strategy game and it's like, I'm a wizard and you're a wizard and I'm gonna cast a lightning bolt.

01:36:43.000 It's like, oh, I counter spell.

01:36:45.000 And people have fun doing it.

01:36:46.000 And then the company gets investors.

01:36:49.000 Big gaming companies come in and say, we want to buy this.

01:36:51.000 This is brilliant.

01:36:52.000 One day they're looking at their numbers and they're like, the Q3 numbers are in.

01:36:56.000 We have a tremendous amount of sales among men 18 to 34.

01:37:02.000 But how do we get women? They're always looking for the phantom demographic that doesn't care about their game. Exactly 1.00

01:37:08.000 It's always about the damn phantom. How can we change the game to attract more females? 1.00

01:37:13.000 Have you considered making the characters frumpy and ugly? 0.69

01:37:15.000 That's a good idea. Give them dad bods. This is what they did 0.58

01:37:19.000 No, they did. I'll stay good-looking the women become they make women frumpy 1.00

01:37:25.000 But this is what I don't understand, right?

01:37:27.000 When you have like a Magic the Gathering card and there's like a guy, a character, it's like he's all ripped, Gideon or whatever.

01:37:33.000 He's like, he's like ripped.

01:37:34.000 And then you look at the women and the women are like, beautiful. 0.83

01:37:37.000 And then, and then Wizard's like, this is not representative of people.

01:37:39.000 So we're gonna make the wind all frumpy now.

01:37:41.000 And I'm like, okay, listen, hold on.

01:37:43.000 Men are attracted to beautiful women.

01:37:45.000 Women are attracted to beautiful men.

01:37:48.000 And women who like women also like beautiful women.

01:37:51.000 And men who like men also like beautiful men.

01:37:53.000 Therefore, just make beautiful people on your cards.

01:37:55.000 Why wouldn't you do that?

01:37:57.000 It's like, imagine, if people are attracted to people who are attractive, why try to sell them something that's not attractive?

01:38:03.000 It just makes no sense.

01:38:04.000 So, you just kind of, you know, This sounds really mean, but I think the same logic really applies to plus-size models being integrated in all of the online stores and stuff now.

01:38:19.000 Well, that I get.

01:38:21.000 Because women are getting fatter and fatter, and so they're trying to say, like, hey, look at this lady wearing clothes that you could fit in. 1.00

01:38:28.000 Yes, but I think the issue with that is a woman doesn't want to see an outfit on her. 1.00

01:38:35.000 They want to see it on a pretty person so they can imagine it looks like that on them. 0.88

01:38:38.000 What's that fat chick's store? 1.00

01:38:39.000 Morbid? 1.00

01:38:39.000 What's that fat chick store, Morbid? 1.00

01:38:42.000 Oh my gosh. 0.99

01:38:43.000 Torrid.

01:38:44.000 Torrid, okay.

01:38:45.000 We were literally talking about it today because we were talking about the Victoria's Secret

01:38:48.000 documentary that's coming.

01:38:49.000 Yeah, and they're sales tanks.

01:38:51.000 We talked about this.

01:38:52.000 It's horrid.

01:38:53.000 The whole thing today, because it's like, the idea is that like men, like superhero men, right?

01:38:59.000 Superman has got a 12 pack, not even a six pack.

01:39:02.000 And the idea is that men find that aspirational.

01:39:04.000 Like, I'm never going to look like that, but by God, if I'm not going to go to the gym and try.

01:39:09.000 But then when they would do that to the female characters, then it's unrealistic beauty standards. 0.59

01:39:14.000 It's like it's literally a superhero.

01:39:15.000 It's not supposed to be realistic, but the idea is then they've put that into the fashion world.

01:39:21.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:39:22.000 I wrote an article about this for The Federalist a few years ago, and you know, it's funny.

01:39:28.000 I actually talked about my first experience going into Victoria's Secret when I was like, you know, 16 or whatever with my girlfriends from high school, and it felt like going to like the cool girls like Closet.

01:39:37.000 It's like a club.

01:39:38.000 It was it was like it was like, oh my gosh, this is so cool.

01:39:41.000 This is so sexy.

01:39:41.000 This is so sophisticated.

01:39:44.000 You know, it just it felt like I was entering a new just place I've never been and, and, you know, the thing about Those Victoria's Secret angels, which got canceled because they made people feel bad for being so gorgeous, Adriana Lima.

01:40:01.000 You know, when you wear Victoria's Secret clothes, you want to put it on.

01:40:04.000 You want to imagine yourself as an angel.

01:40:07.000 Yeah, you don't want to...

01:40:10.000 I just feel like they really screwed up by... I'm just gonna call it morbid from now on.

01:40:13.000 I like that.

01:40:13.000 That's funny.

01:40:14.000 Now you get to look like Megan Rapinoe. 0.57

01:40:16.000 That's what I'm saying!

01:40:16.000 And I'm sorry, but not even a woman who's trying to be... who knows maybe she's not Adriana Lima wants to put on lingerie and look like Megan Rapinoe.

01:40:24.000 Like, it's just a bad... Equal pay. 0.99

01:40:27.000 It's bad marketing.

01:40:28.000 I'm gonna open a big and tall shop called Morbid.

01:40:31.000 Yeah, for men.

01:40:32.000 I love it so much.

01:40:33.000 So we have an idea for a show.

01:40:34.000 We've talked about it before, right?

01:40:35.000 The mall store show.

01:40:36.000 No.

01:40:37.000 We have, I think so.

01:40:38.000 Anyway, on or off, I'm not sure on or off air, but we've talked about it off air.

01:40:42.000 On air, I think we did mention it.

01:40:44.000 Mall store.

01:40:44.000 So it's a show that we're putting together where we just, we get a store and then we have, we just change what the store is as gag stores all the time just to like, to see the reactions of people who are coming in like confused.

01:40:55.000 That's really funny.

01:40:55.000 So we'll do Morbid.

01:40:57.000 It'll be called Morbid, we'll stylize it and we'll put like big fat mannequins.

01:41:02.000 Morbid.

01:41:03.000 And then what we'll do is we'll have a big and tall section, the morbid section, and the moribund section.

01:41:09.000 Beautiful.

01:41:10.000 I feel like you can't really satirize reality because I went to the perfume store the other day and I saw this huge, fat model and this bright, sunny looking perfume and I was like, I don't want to smell like that model smells.

01:41:19.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:41:20.000 I really don't.

01:41:21.000 That sounds so mean because I understand that we are, you know, supposed to be body positive, but there's just a fine line between being body positive and then like having Lizzo on the cover of like, what was it, Shape?

01:41:36.000 I called someone moribundly obese, and then someone tried correcting me.

01:41:41.000 They're like, oh, you mean morbidly obese?

01:41:42.000 I was like, no.

01:41:43.000 Moribundly, they're about to die.

01:41:46.000 It's a difference.

01:41:51.000 When you're that large, like your risk of heart disease is much higher than other people's and it's just a health fact and we should stop pretending.

01:41:59.000 Hey, look, I lost 30 pounds.

01:42:00.000 I was a big boy.

01:42:01.000 And it was funny because somebody was like, Tim, we know you were fat because after we watch your clips, we have an outro song promoting the show.

01:42:09.000 And it's like from a few months ago, so I'm like bigger.

01:42:11.000 So my thing is like, you can cut out the sugar, you can get better, you can be healthy, you can go for a walk.

01:42:16.000 Let's read some more Super Chats. 0.91

01:42:18.000 Um, alright, well how do you- uh, Athon- uh, Athanasios- Athonison says, Love you guys, need help.

01:42:26.000 Ten year police officer killed by drunk driver while volunteering for fellow officer, leaving behind a loving wife and five kids.

01:42:32.000 Firefighter brother had to watch him die.

01:42:35.000 Give, send, go, supporting the Richardson family.

01:42:38.000 Also possible to buy snack board.

01:42:40.000 Snack board!

01:42:40.000 Not yet, but soon.

01:42:41.000 Soon, soon.

01:42:42.000 Yeah, we're actually looking at a venue.

01:42:45.000 We're looking to purchase a building which will function as a game shop, skate shop, and venue for events.

01:42:50.000 And that will be out in eastern West Virginia.

01:42:55.000 What's the name of that GoFundMe again?

01:42:58.000 Richardson Family.

01:42:59.000 It was GiveSendGo.

01:43:01.000 GiveSendGo.

01:43:02.000 I do think crowdfunding may be the future of a way we get out of this mess.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, they can shut you down on crowdfunding, though, if the platform doesn't like it.

01:43:10.000 Yeah, we need a decentralized, untrackable crowdfunding mechanism.

01:43:16.000 Nathan Trimmington says, Tim, when is the rap song dropping?

01:43:19.000 I don't know, at some point, I suppose.

01:43:21.000 Raymond Magagie says, dude, Tim, how long did that take to ace that?

01:43:26.000 So people need to understand, I talk faster than I actually talk, and I have to try to talk slower.

01:43:30.000 Hmm.

01:43:31.000 All right, Ben Shapiro.

01:43:32.000 So I want to hear it on 0.5 speed and see if it sounds like you, but warped.

01:43:37.000 It's going to be weird.

01:43:38.000 So I, when I, when I record my segments, sometimes there'll be like some important thing I have to do.

01:43:42.000 And I'm like, I got to get this done quick, but I don't realize that a segment is 30 minutes long, regardless of how fast I'm talking.

01:43:48.000 So I'll end up cramming in like an hour's worth of content because I'll just be like reading the news and just going really fast.

01:43:55.000 And then I look at the timer and I'm like, uh, Talking fast isn't making this any different.

01:44:00.000 I should chill out and make this listenable.

01:44:03.000 That's been a very big part for me is trying to learn how to slow down because I'm a naturally fast talker as well.

01:44:09.000 Like when we're doing the segments and I'm moving the conversation along, I get that natural urge to kind of pick up and move along because I don't like the idea of dead air.

01:44:16.000 So I have to slow it down.

01:44:18.000 Forlorn Vox says, LMAO at Tim speaking at 10 times playback speed.

01:44:23.000 You read that article like it was a side effects to a shady big pharma prescription medication.

01:44:28.000 There you go.

01:44:29.000 Stunning.

01:44:30.000 It was like the Micro Machines guy.

01:44:32.000 Do you guys remember those commercials?

01:44:33.000 Micro Machines, faster than the real thing.

01:44:35.000 Remember that guy?

01:44:36.000 The famous guy who could talk super fast?

01:44:38.000 That was the guy, yeah, that's the guy.

01:44:39.000 He did the Micro Machines commercials.

01:44:40.000 Yeah, I could talk about that.

01:44:41.000 But there was... Twista came to my mind.

01:44:43.000 Twista and Busta Rhymes.

01:44:46.000 And there was an early funny thing that says, Busta Rhymes is the fastest rapper in the world, and then it cuts in and says, the guy from the pharmaceutical commercials has entered the chat.

01:44:55.000 The law disclaimer guy.

01:44:56.000 For reference, it was John Moschita Jr.

01:44:58.000 is the guy, Motormouth John, the guy who's fast talking.

01:45:01.000 ANWAR ABU-BAKER SAYS PLEASE LOOK INTO AB-5 BILL IN CALIFORNIA.

01:45:05.000 THERE WILL BE A HUGE DISRUPTION IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN THIS WEEK POSSIBLY.

01:45:08.000 THEY ARE TRYING TO TURN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS INTO EMPLOYEES TO EXTRACT TAX DOLLARS FROM TRUCK DRIVERS.

01:45:12.000 GOD BLESS YOUR WORK TIM.

01:45:14.000 DIDN'T THAT ALREADY PASS A LONG TIME AGO?

01:45:16.000 That was one of the videos that you did early on that I when I realized how much my friends hated politics that weren't their own was pointing that out to somebody and I got gaslit super hard and I'm like, I pointed out that bill and he goes, Well, I don't doubt that you read something like that.

01:45:33.000 I'm like, Oh, come on, dude.

01:45:34.000 And then Vox fired all of their California contractors.

01:45:39.000 All of them were axed right away.

01:45:40.000 And they're like, we can't hire you anymore.

01:45:42.000 We don't do business in California either.

01:45:44.000 Not just for that reason, for a variety of reasons.

01:45:46.000 Do not do business in California.

01:45:49.000 The Daily Wire used to be in California.

01:45:52.000 They moved.

01:45:53.000 They're in Nashville now.

01:45:54.000 Let me just say, do not do business in California.

01:45:58.000 If you live there, I guess.

01:46:01.000 But if you're any kind of company that in any way has to do anything in other states, so because we're digital media, we can take articles and contract people who might be in California.

01:46:11.000 We won't do it.

01:46:12.000 California does not exist as far as our company is concerned.

01:46:16.000 Do not do business there.

01:46:18.000 You'll regret it.

01:46:19.000 Yeah.

01:46:19.000 You will absolutely regret it.

01:46:20.000 An employee can walk into your office, take a dump on your desk, pick it up and throw it at someone, and YOU will get sued for it.

01:46:27.000 It's insane.

01:46:28.000 Obviously, I'm exaggerating, but it's almost that bad.

01:46:31.000 Maybe it actually is, I don't know.

01:46:33.000 It's just, it's brutal.

01:46:35.000 You can, you can have a talk with, like, the labor board, and I've worked in California, and I've, I've been on the other, other side of that.

01:46:40.000 They'll, they'll tell you whatever you, like, if you're the employee and you're like, I have a problem, they'll go, we don't care.

01:46:44.000 We're gonna give you whatever you want, and we're gonna strip it from the business.

01:46:47.000 It's crazy.

01:46:48.000 Wow.

01:46:49.000 All right.

01:46:50.000 Brett Willett says, May God bless you, Ian.

01:46:52.000 We pray for you always.

01:46:54.000 May your heart and eyes be opened to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

01:46:57.000 Dude, last night, Brett, I was thinking, I was like laying in bed till like five in the morning thinking about God.

01:47:02.000 I'm like, okay, this is real.

01:47:03.000 Cause a lot of times I feel despair, but last night I was thinking maybe the solution is to this is bringing people together with God.

01:47:13.000 And it feels real.

01:47:15.000 Um, it's like, uh, Like it's, uh, I think it's real.

01:47:20.000 Like it's, you study Nassim Harriman's Schwarzschild proton and like, you've got these black holes in you.

01:47:27.000 Like the protons really, it's scientific.

01:47:31.000 It really seems like there's something going on, man.

01:47:34.000 I think God is real.

01:47:37.000 All right.

01:47:39.000 The backlash says Ronald Reagan gave fireside chats from the White House.

01:47:43.000 Trump doing that would be phenomenal.

01:47:45.000 That'd be fun.

01:47:46.000 It would be the funniest, most fun thing ever.

01:47:48.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this is former President Donald Trump from Mar-a-Lago, the Winter White House.

01:47:54.000 If we did, like, meme report from the White House.

01:47:56.000 That'd be so good.

01:47:57.000 Trump does meme review?

01:47:58.000 Yeah, meme review from the White House.

01:48:01.000 That would be the coolest thing ever.

01:48:04.000 So fun.

01:48:05.000 So we have to get Trump for the show somehow.

01:48:07.000 We've talked to a bunch of people in those circles and maybe we'll go to New Jersey, but if we do, I will ask Trump to review like three memes.

01:48:14.000 Yes.

01:48:15.000 And it'll be a short thing, probably like five, 10 minutes, but that would be the coolest thing ever.

01:48:18.000 That'd be so funny.

01:48:19.000 For the kids, we need you to review these memes.

01:48:22.000 Gotta get that demographic, Trump.

01:48:24.000 And it would just be funny, like apolitical memes, you know, funny stuff.

01:48:28.000 Watching him, the NPC one, he'll be like, what's an NPC?

01:48:30.000 I don't get it.

01:48:30.000 That'd be great.

01:48:33.000 Dalamar says Trump has a channel, 2.6 million subs, been there for years, streams the rallies.

01:48:38.000 Oh, okay.

01:48:40.000 Yeah, but we need, like, Trump to be sitting watching TV, and then we get to watch his reaction to Fox News.

01:48:46.000 Think about how amazing that show would be.

01:48:48.000 If he held, like, watch parties on Amazon Prime, where he just watches, like, the West Wing.

01:48:53.000 No, no, like, him watching Tucker Carlson, and Tucker says something, and then he starts commenting on it, and just going off would be the coolest thing ever.

01:48:59.000 If Trump did what I did, like grab news articles and then turn the cameras are talking about it.

01:49:05.000 He'd have 50 million viewers in a week.

01:49:08.000 He would be getting five, 10 million views per clip.

01:49:11.000 It would be, it would be just amazing.

01:49:15.000 Alright, DaPyromaniac says Trump and DeSantis need to team up.

01:49:19.000 Have Trump charge in like a bull like in 2016, let DeSantis wrangle with Congress, and train him up on the appropriate foreign policy decisions, and prime him for a run in 2028 with a Trump endorsement.

01:49:30.000 I mean, I'm down, you know.

01:49:32.000 I think DeSantis is good for a lot of reasons.

01:49:34.000 I think there's reasons to think Trump would be good.

01:49:37.000 It's tough.

01:49:37.000 We got to see this primary.

01:49:39.000 We'll see what they say.

01:49:39.000 I don't know.

01:49:40.000 I think that, you know, if Republicans really want to win, I think that they kind of got to ditch the Trump stuff.

01:49:47.000 I think they need to embrace a new face.

01:49:49.000 I think DeSantis is tough on stuff like Trump is, and that's why Trump was so attractive.

01:49:55.000 It's very similar issues.

01:49:56.000 But, you know, why do Trumpers want Why would Republicans want another news cycle of just media versus Trump and Trumpism?

01:50:07.000 I just feel like it's time to move on.

01:50:09.000 Come on.

01:50:10.000 Yeah, you got to find what it means to win because you get Trump into office and it definitely not be a win for anybody.

01:50:15.000 Well, it won't be a win for anybody.

01:50:17.000 And it's just going to be more of the same thing.

01:50:19.000 And it's just time for progress.

01:50:22.000 I think I don't want Trump back in office.

01:50:23.000 And then he makes the tweet about Elon Musk or the post about Elon Musk and I want him back.

01:50:27.000 I'm sorry.

01:50:28.000 Well, I think that if he does his own show, like what Tim was suggesting, then we all win.

01:50:32.000 Just make his own like fake presidency.

01:50:35.000 Give him the Oval Office.

01:50:36.000 Yes, it'd be amazing.

01:50:38.000 Jedi Mind Trick 75 says, I'm always the I-like-Ian-butt guy in the comment section, but Ian is steady rolling 20s tonight.

01:50:46.000 He is killing my gimmick.

01:50:47.000 Nothing but love, Ian.

01:50:48.000 Enjoying Pop Culture Crisis 2, Brett.

01:50:51.000 Thank you.

01:50:51.000 Love you, homie.

01:50:52.000 Who was that?

01:50:53.000 Jedi Mind Trick.

01:50:55.000 I feel you.

01:50:57.000 Bub Savvy says, Hey, Tim, you should have Sam hide on before his Hasan Piker fight next year.

01:51:03.000 Next year?

01:51:03.000 I don't know if they're fighting.

01:51:05.000 No, that's awesome!

01:51:06.000 Yeah, Sam Hyde's a boxing coach.

01:51:08.000 Did you see he coached- He's gonna fight Hassan?

01:51:11.000 Oh, I wouldn't doubt it.

01:51:12.000 I haven't heard- this is the first I've heard of it, though.

01:51:13.000 I have no idea.

01:51:14.000 But yeah, we should have Sam Hyde on.

01:51:16.000 Yes!

01:51:16.000 I like Sam a lot, I know him.

01:51:17.000 Maybe!

01:51:18.000 Balls in there for him.

01:51:19.000 That will happen.

01:51:20.000 Yeah.

01:51:22.000 All right.

01:51:23.000 Joe Miles says the Millennials working in the White House think they are living in the TV show West Wing.

01:51:27.000 Kamala's speechwriters are probably failed scriptwriters trying to create a quotable one-liner.

01:51:32.000 I don't think so.

01:51:33.000 She'd be saying, like, bigger words, you know?

01:51:36.000 Yes.

01:51:36.000 No, actually, that was the first thing I thought.

01:51:39.000 It sounds like they're trying to write an endearing speech that's really easy to digest, and they're just bad at it, but her delivery is too off to actually buy that.

01:51:48.000 I think they're just word salad.

01:51:50.000 I think what they're doing is, Kamala's like, I need a speech for tonight.

01:51:53.000 And she texts them, like, I need a speech.

01:51:55.000 And they go, OK.

01:51:56.000 And they keep hitting the middle button of the predictive test.

01:51:58.000 And they just let it go.

01:51:59.000 And they're like, that's good.

01:52:00.000 Send.

01:52:01.000 And then she goes, oh.

01:52:03.000 Copy and paste that sentence.

01:52:06.000 Let an AI write her speeches. 1.00

01:52:07.000 That's what they're doing.

01:52:10.000 I honestly think nobody's writing anything.

01:52:13.000 She's just sitting there and she has nothing to say.

01:52:15.000 And she's like, well, they're like, what do you think we should do about the border?

01:52:18.000 Well, the border is an issue that a lot of people have thought about when it comes to the issues.

01:52:27.000 Okay?

01:52:28.000 Countries have borders.

01:52:29.000 We are a country that borders another country.

01:52:36.000 Which means that there's a border.

01:52:37.000 And there are people.

01:52:38.000 She's got a group, like a writing team sitting around a table doing this. 0.95

01:52:41.000 They're all throwing ideas in.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, border.

01:52:44.000 Say that again. 0.71

01:52:46.000 Michael Schwobel.

01:52:48.000 How many people right now know their neighbors?

01:52:50.000 Most have already been split from them through the way out culture functions.

01:52:58.000 Do you know your neighbors?

01:52:59.000 I do.

01:53:00.000 Neighbors?

01:53:00.000 My neighbors.

01:53:01.000 You say, howdy neighbor?

01:53:03.000 I wave to them when I take my kid to daycare, when I come home.

01:53:07.000 Sometimes we waved each other over the fences, but you know, I just moved in my neighborhood kind of recently and COVID has made it hard to connect with people.

01:53:15.000 Do you think you'll have to fight them?

01:53:18.000 I, you know what?

01:53:19.000 Malcolm Nance said we got to go.

01:53:21.000 They would lose.

01:53:25.000 I fight dirty.

01:53:25.000 Strong stance.

01:53:26.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:53:28.000 All right.

01:53:30.000 Patrick Reichert says, total non sequitur, but Ian, curious when you saw Foo Fighters.

01:53:34.000 I have seen them 10 times, and they are my favorite band.

01:53:37.000 Taylor Hawkins' loss has really affected me.

01:53:39.000 Yeah, that was brutal.

01:53:40.000 I think it was 2003, about.

01:53:42.000 It was an incredible show, too.

01:53:45.000 That was the closest I ever got to really, like, just screaming and throwing my arms in the air.

01:53:49.000 That's crazy.

01:53:49.000 They were getting ready for, like, a tour or something, right?

01:53:51.000 They were on tour.

01:53:52.000 They were on tour.

01:53:52.000 They were in South America, and Taylor, they found them in a hotel, man.

01:53:55.000 It's just...

01:53:57.000 How did he die?

01:53:57.000 Was it a cardiac arrest or something?

01:53:58.000 I don't know.

01:53:59.000 I don't know.

01:54:00.000 I don't remember if anything came out about that.

01:54:02.000 I know that there was a bunch of drugs in the hotel room, but they said that he never used before shows, so it didn't fall in line.

01:54:09.000 The problem with heroin use, a lot of really heavy drugs, is that if someone does it in the same environment over and over their body, when you walk into that room, the body gets ready for it.

01:54:18.000 It puts the things ready to counter the heroin.

01:54:20.000 So then when you go to a new environment, you use that same amount, your body's not ready for it, and it can shock the system.

01:54:26.000 Yeah, I mean beyond the fact that it could just have been tainted or there could be any number of things that is wrong with it that caused those problems.

01:54:33.000 One of the best.

01:54:34.000 I actually have a like a light-hearted story about Foo Fighters.

01:54:37.000 So Dave Grohl I think is from Maryland, right?

01:54:40.000 He's kind of... Virginia.

01:54:41.000 Okay, so they were...

01:54:44.000 I was with my husband when we were still dating a few years ago.

01:54:47.000 We were on U Street.

01:54:47.000 We're walking around and there was a part of U Street that was, you know, under construction so it was like one of those, what are they called?

01:54:55.000 Scaffolding?

01:54:55.000 Yeah.

01:54:56.000 And it's just us walking one way and then a group of men in black and stuff are coming at us and I kind of look at them but I'm trying not to be a weird starer.

01:55:07.000 And I realize, oh my god, that's the freaking Foo Fighters!

01:55:11.000 And I say, oh my god, that was the Foo Fighters! 0.87

01:55:13.000 And Dave Grohl, because at this point we had passed each other, mocks me.

01:55:18.000 He goes, oh my god, that's the Foo Fighters!

01:55:21.000 And I was like, Dave Grohl just mocked me!

01:55:24.000 We got to the bar where we were headed.

01:55:26.000 I was like, you guys, Dave Grohl just mocked me.

01:55:27.000 Everyone's like, you're lying.

01:55:28.000 We looked it up.

01:55:29.000 Sure enough, they were on tour and it was them.

01:55:32.000 And yeah, I have been an even bigger fan of them since because it was so funny.

01:55:36.000 Yeah, I was mocked by Dave Grohl.

01:55:39.000 I used to live near the Metro in Chicago.

01:55:40.000 Yeah.

01:55:41.000 Are you familiar with the venue at all?

01:55:42.000 Anybody?

01:55:43.000 No.

01:55:44.000 So it's like a thousand seater and it's like a really popular spot.

01:55:47.000 So I'm, it's right next to Wrigley Field as well, so I'm a few blocks down, I can't remember the name of the street, it was off Clark.

01:55:52.000 And me and my friend were busking, playing music on the street when everyone's out at the bars getting ready for the show.

01:55:58.000 And I'm a big fan, or I used to be a really big fan of Death Cab for Cutie, I don't really listen to a lot of their stuff these days.

01:56:03.000 But so I knew all their songs and so I'm playing a ton of their songs and then I look to my

01:56:09.000 friend and I'm like, let's just play an original that I wrote.

01:56:12.000 We start playing and then as I'm playing, Ben Gibbard, the lead singer and a couple

01:56:17.000 of the guys walk past and they look and they like, you know, like nod and keep walking.

01:56:20.000 And then I'm like sitting there, I'm like, I look like Ben Gibbard.

01:56:23.000 And then I looked at my friend and she was like, yeah, aren't they playing at the Metro tonight?

01:56:26.000 Which is like two blocks away.

01:56:27.000 And I was like, no way!

01:56:28.000 I thought it was funny that the one time I stopped playing covers of his band was when he actually walked past me.

01:56:34.000 And then I was just like, wow, that was crazy!

01:56:36.000 I actually got to meet them once.

01:56:38.000 It was really cool.

01:56:38.000 I got to meet Chris Walla, who was a really cool dude.

01:56:41.000 Talked to him about music.

01:56:42.000 Cool guys.

01:56:42.000 Really cool stuff.

01:56:43.000 That's awesome.

01:56:43.000 Love their music.

01:56:45.000 All right, what do we got more?

01:56:46.000 What more do we got?

01:56:48.000 What do we got more?

01:56:49.000 Waffle Sensei says, if you are not fighting for hearts and minds and souls, and you're only fighting to win, then all you want is power, and you deserve none of it.

01:56:59.000 The betterment of your enemies?

01:57:02.000 I guess the idea is to make everything better.

01:57:05.000 A rising tide lifts all ships.

01:57:08.000 Correct.

01:57:10.000 All right.

01:57:11.000 CJ McLean says, I usually listen to the show the day after and download it to my phone with YouTube Premium.

01:57:16.000 For some reason, I can't download the episode from 7-12.

01:57:18.000 This isn't the first time this has happened.

01:57:20.000 Not sure if you guys or YouTube is censoring.

01:57:23.000 Hmm.

01:57:23.000 What was on the 12th?

01:57:25.000 Adrian and Libby.

01:57:26.000 Really?

01:57:27.000 Yeah.

01:57:27.000 Sometimes things just happen and it's not necessarily something relevant.

01:57:32.000 There's a thing about that with YouTube.

01:57:34.000 So we can always download our own episodes after we stream, but like 1 in 10 or like 1 in 20, you can't.

01:57:39.000 Yeah, it's just a problem.

01:57:41.000 Yeah, and there were issues.

01:57:42.000 So here's is really funny.

01:57:43.000 We have had issues where like, we manually record the show.

01:57:47.000 Yeah.

01:57:47.000 And then afterwards, we use that recording for all the clips, because the live streamed version has artifacting or down res or something like that.

01:57:53.000 But there have been instances where I've screwed up or we ran a hard drive space where things crashed.

01:57:58.000 And we should probably check that, actually.

01:57:59.000 And then we're like, we'll just download it from YouTube, but we can't.

01:58:03.000 So we have to screen capture our own show.

01:58:06.000 We have to, like, load it, let it run for two hours, and just record so that we can make clips again, because you can't download it.

01:58:13.000 And the way livestreams work, these third-party downloading things don't work either.

01:58:16.000 They may have fixed it, maybe it's changed, but we've had those.

01:58:19.000 It is brutal.

01:58:20.000 That's frustrating.

01:58:21.000 Yeah.

01:58:23.000 All right, let's see what we got in the old Super Chat lineup.

01:58:28.000 James Riley says, politics is not a litmus test for good and evil.

01:58:31.000 We should be free to disagree with that reprisal, otherwise the fringes on both sides win.

01:58:36.000 Yes, but the fringes on the right will actually talk to you.

01:58:40.000 They demand to be debated.

01:58:41.000 Debate me!

01:58:43.000 But I mean like, conservatives want to have the conversation.

01:58:49.000 Even far right, as extreme as they get, want to have the conversation and prove to you why they've come to their conclusions.

01:58:54.000 The left is a cult and they're like, nope, don't want to hear it, get out.

01:58:57.000 Don't care.

01:58:58.000 It's the epitome of cancel culture.

01:59:00.000 Yup.

01:59:00.000 Silence.

01:59:01.000 That's where it comes from.

01:59:03.000 Alright, let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:59:07.000 Dead Eye says, Tim and gang, look into supertasters and non-tasters when it comes to eating spicy foods.

01:59:13.000 Someone told me that I was a supertaster.

01:59:15.000 And I don't know if that's true, but I said I didn't like cilantro.

01:59:18.000 And they said, does it taste like soap?

01:59:19.000 And I said, no.

01:59:20.000 And they said, then why don't you like it?

01:59:22.000 I said, it overpowers everything.

01:59:23.000 And they're like, oh, so you probably don't like alcohol either.

01:59:25.000 And I was like, right.

01:59:26.000 And they're like, OK, you're probably a supertaster.

01:59:28.000 Oh, that's interesting.

01:59:29.000 And I was like, uh.

01:59:30.000 I guess.

01:59:31.000 I could never understand how people sip whiskey.

01:59:34.000 No.

01:59:34.000 Me neither.

01:59:36.000 Yeah.

01:59:36.000 That's interesting.

01:59:37.000 I don't know if that makes you a supertaster just because you don't like to drink that stuff.

01:59:39.000 That's crazy because ever since I had COVID, I can taste alcohol really strongly.

01:59:44.000 Wow.

01:59:44.000 And cilantro kind of similarly.

01:59:46.000 So I wonder if it's kind of changed my taste buds like that.

01:59:48.000 Weird.

01:59:48.000 The real question is, why do people know what soap tastes like?

01:59:51.000 Yeah, that's a great question.

01:59:52.000 Because they swore as a kid.

01:59:53.000 That's right.

01:59:54.000 They got their paths washed.

01:59:56.000 One time.

01:59:57.000 And then my mom cried.

01:59:58.000 She felt so bad. 1.00

02:00:00.000 I was like just being a 13 year old bitch. 1.00

02:00:04.000 And I was dropping f-bombs and she was not having it. 0.99

02:00:08.000 And I sat on the toilet like that scene in a Christmas, what's it called?

02:00:12.000 A Christmas Story?

02:00:13.000 Yes. 0.98

02:00:14.000 And it was disgusting and horrible.

02:00:15.000 And I know exactly what soap tastes like.

02:00:17.000 It's like, they say cilantro tastes the way soap smells.

02:00:20.000 You know what I mean?

02:00:21.000 Like, you'll smell something and then taste it and go, ugh.

02:00:24.000 The funny thing is, you know the worst thing?

02:00:25.000 You ever go to a mall and they have Auntie Anne's?

02:00:28.000 And it's the best smell in the world?

02:00:29.000 So you buy one and you're like, it's not that good.

02:00:31.000 Gross.

02:00:32.000 It's like, I am very disappointed in how this tastes versus how it smells. 0.78

02:00:34.000 It smells better than it tastes.

02:00:35.000 What's up with that?

02:00:36.000 I don't know.

02:00:37.000 I mean, to be fair, I've got like candles that are like strawberry cheesecake.

02:00:40.000 Don't eat them.

02:00:41.000 They smell so good, but you don't want to eat that.

02:00:43.000 It would not taste good.

02:00:45.000 It's a bummer though.

02:00:47.000 All right.

02:00:50.000 Sign of Luck says, what are your thoughts about a populist purple DeSantis or Trump-Tulsi Gabbard ticket?

02:00:55.000 I'm down for it.

02:00:56.000 Like, I really don't see a Trump-Gabbard thing happening.

02:00:59.000 What about DeSantis-Gabbard?

02:01:01.000 That would be great.

02:01:03.000 I'm sold.

02:01:03.000 I'm sold right away.

02:01:06.000 Left would have to run Newsom, though, for that to be as maximum entertaining as possible.

02:01:11.000 DeSantis-Gabbard ticket?

02:01:13.000 Tulsi solves the foreign policy questions when it comes to DeSantis.

02:01:17.000 And I'm just like, count me in.

02:01:20.000 I think, you know, I met Tulsi recently when we were in New York.

02:01:22.000 It was great.

02:01:22.000 I'm a big fan.

02:01:24.000 She's shown herself to be one of the few principled politicians I've ever seen.

02:01:27.000 There's a handful of Republicans we've had on the show that I think are cool, but that would be awesome.

02:01:32.000 And I think it would be unifying, too.

02:01:33.000 It would shut down the left.

02:01:35.000 People on the right would be like, we get it.

02:01:38.000 The left would be screaming and pounding their feet.

02:01:40.000 Amazing.
