Summary

On this day in 2016, a woman became the President of the United States for the first time in history, Kamala Harris. On this day, President Donald Trump was officially declared the winner in the presidential election. On the heels of that, a judge ruled that Trump should be sentenced to 10 years in prison for a variety of felonies, including conspiracy to obstruct justice, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and bank fraud. Plus, we talk about a woman who got a vaccine that caused her boobs to grow.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 It is January 6, ladies and gentlemen.
00:00:18.000 And on this day, Congress has formally certified Donald Trump as the victor of the 2024 election.
00:00:24.000 It's the first time ever that a woman has certified her own presidential defeat, and that's Kamala Harris, and we're all here for it.
00:00:32.000 Interestingly, however, that Democrat liberal judge over in New York says either way, Trump is to be sentenced on the 10th.
00:00:39.000 That's where things get interesting.
00:00:40.000 Now, they're saying he's not going to get any prison time or anything like that, but who knows?
00:00:45.000 What if Trump shows up for sentencing and the judge just says, eh, change my mind.
00:00:49.000 34 felonies?
00:00:50.000 You're going to jail.
00:00:51.000 Sends Trump to prison.
00:00:53.000 Now what happens?
00:00:54.000 I really doubt it.
00:00:56.000 But who knows?
00:00:56.000 Trump filed to have this stayed or quashed effectively.
00:00:59.000 And the judge said, nah, we're going to sentence you.
00:01:01.000 So I guess we're in for a very interesting week.
00:01:04.000 And then Justin Trudeau resigned.
00:01:06.000 And here's what people aren't picking up from this story.
00:01:09.000 I mean, he's still he's still prime minister.
00:01:10.000 He announced his resignation pending the Liberal Party's election of a new leader.
00:01:14.000 But he did it because of Trump.
00:01:16.000 Trump threatening these tariffs through the whole liberal government of Canada to chaos.
00:01:21.000 And now Trudeau is out.
00:01:22.000 So Trump is winning and he's not even president yet.
00:01:24.000 We'll talk about that.
00:01:26.000 Plus, we got a bunch of weird stories about we got to talk about the drone thing and Las Vegas.
00:01:31.000 It's our first day back after vacation.
00:01:33.000 And we had this crazy thing in Vegas.
00:01:36.000 This guy sent an email to Sean Ryan about gravitic propulsion drones.
00:01:40.000 It's all just very weird.
00:01:42.000 So we'll talk about that.
00:01:43.000 And then, yeah, we're going to go for it.
00:01:45.000 There's this story from the New York Post that the vaccine caused this woman's boobs to grow massively.
00:01:51.000 And I think we'll need some levity for this one.
00:01:53.000 But we'll talk about that.
00:01:54.000 I mean, it's probably horrifying for the woman.
00:01:55.000 But we'll talk about that.
00:01:57.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.
00:02:00.000 Pick up Cast Brew Coffee.
00:02:01.000 We have delicious coffee.
00:02:02.000 We have two weeks till Christmas.
00:02:04.000 Phil Labonte's gingerbread.
00:02:06.000 Buy it.
00:02:07.000 It's delicious.
00:02:07.000 But it's now two weeks from Christmas.
00:02:09.000 And then, of course, we've got Appalachian Knights Rise with Roberto Jr. Stand Your Grounds.
00:02:14.000 And also, don't forget to head over to boonieshq.com.
00:02:17.000 Pick up one of our beautiful skateboards.
00:02:19.000 If you like the boobies, we have this blue-footed booby on a skateboard.
00:02:23.000 This is our second most popular skateboard.
00:02:24.000 It's a blue-footed booby bird.
00:02:26.000 And everyone finds it to be very funny for some reason.
00:02:28.000 I love it.
00:02:29.000 And then we've got the right-to-arm bears.
00:02:32.000 The oft-forgotten attempted amendment to the Bill of Rights that didn't make it was the right to give bears guns.
00:02:39.000 So if you think bears should wear straw hats, flannel shirts, and carry shotguns, this is the skateboard for you.

00:03:39.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we have two veterans on two different sides of January 6th.
00:03:45.000 First, it is the man himself, it is Lectern Guy.
00:03:48.000 Hey Tim, good to be back.
00:03:50.000 Happy January 6th to all who celebrates.
00:03:52.000 It's Patriots Day.
00:03:52.000 I am here to establish an alibi, I've been here all day, I've moved nothing, touched nothing, so...
00:03:57.000 Leave me alone, bro.
00:03:58.000 You have a real name, though.
00:04:00.000 I do.
00:04:00.000 My real name is Adam Johnson, my Christian name.
00:04:03.000 Ah, yes, yes, yes.
00:04:04.000 Now dubbed the lectern guy.
00:04:06.000 At first they were calling you the podium guy.
00:04:08.000 They were.
00:04:08.000 This and Via Getty, but we corrected the record.
00:04:10.000 Via Getty's my favorite.
00:04:12.000 Yes.
00:04:12.000 I mean, oh, God, Twitter 1.0.
00:04:14.000 Those are the days, huh?
00:04:16.000 Well, we also have a man who was there on the ground in a different capacity.
00:04:20.000 Yes, I was on the ground as a credential journalist, so...
00:04:24.000 I didn't have the same legal troubles.
00:04:25.000 I did hear we have an insurrectionist in our midst today, so I decided to deck myself out in some protective gear.
00:04:30.000 Just in case.
00:04:31.000 Just in case.
00:04:32.000 Richie McGinnis, author of Riot Diet, One Man's Radical Ride Through America in Chaos, and got some wild stories in there.
00:04:41.000 January 6th maybe is the craziest.
00:04:44.000 I don't know.
00:04:44.000 I'm not sure.
00:04:45.000 And we thought it was appropriate to have you both on this day.
00:04:49.000 It's an honor.
00:04:50.000 January 6th.
00:04:50.000 It's an honor.
00:04:51.000 Can I be your lectern?
00:04:54.000 I will carry you, like one of my French girls, yes.
00:04:56.000 Make it work.
00:04:57.000 Well, okay.
00:04:57.000 We got some news on January 6th, of course.
00:04:59.000 Merrick Garland issued a statement where he said five cops died in the line of duty, which is just an egregious lie.
00:05:05.000 These people are out of their minds.
00:05:07.000 We'll talk about that.
00:05:07.000 We also got Phil hanging out.
00:05:08.000 Hello, everybody.
00:05:09.000 My name is Phil Abanti.
00:05:10.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.
00:05:12.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
00:05:14.000 Let's go.
00:05:15.000 Let's jump into the big news.
00:05:16.000 Ladies and gentlemen, history was made.
00:05:18.000 Donald Trump becoming, I think it's only the second.
00:05:21.000 President to have two non-consecutive terms, though?
00:05:24.000 He's not been inaugurated or sworn in, but he has been officially certified as president.
00:05:31.000 Kamala Harris oversaw the certification, making her the first woman to certify her own loss in a presidential race.
00:05:39.000 And there are very few people who have done that.
00:05:42.000 Glass ceiling broken.
00:05:44.000 Absolutely.
00:05:45.000 So, you know, Al Gore did.
00:05:47.000 Nixon did.
00:05:48.000 I'm not sure how many others, but the first woman.
00:05:52.000 First black woman.
00:05:53.000 That's right.
00:05:54.000 Or Asian, depending on how you want to phrase it.
00:05:57.000 Depending if you're in the UK or the US talking about it, right?
00:06:00.000 Depending if you want a visa or not.
00:06:02.000 Or you can call her Jamaican.
00:06:04.000 She checked a lot of boxes.
00:06:06.000 She's the first of a lot of things to fail.
00:06:07.000 So congratulations, Conway West.
00:06:09.000 But we don't need to dunk on her.
00:06:10.000 Let's get to the meat and potatoes of this story.
00:06:13.000 Judge Mershon denies Trump's request to delay sentencing.
00:06:16.000 This is where things get weird.
00:06:18.000 I'd love to sit here and we'd crack open champagne and be like, ha ha, look, hey, January 6th came and went and Trump has been certified.
00:06:26.000 But Trump is to be sentenced.
00:06:28.000 I'm assuming he's got a report to New York City as president-elect certified in a joint session of Congress.
00:06:34.000 He's going to go before this judge who says, you know, he's not going to give him prison time, but could very well give him prison time.
00:06:41.000 I'll just say this.
00:06:42.000 So Trump files saying we should quash this.
00:06:45.000 Quote, defendant's motion for a stay of these proceedings, including the sentencing hearing scheduled for January 10th, is hereby denied.
00:06:53.000 This is interesting.
00:06:55.000 Trump is trying to prepare to be president right now.
00:06:58.000 He's got a transition going on.
00:06:59.000 They're trying to whip the votes to get his nominees confirmed.
00:07:03.000 And now they're still trying to obstruct him.
00:07:06.000 I gotta say, guys, I don't think they're just gonna roll over and give up.
00:07:09.000 The certification process went without a hitch.
00:07:12.000 No Jamie Raskin trying to insurrection or anything like that.
00:07:15.000 There were protests.
00:07:16.000 And then all of these liberal pundits come out and they say, see, we are honorable.
00:07:20.000 But then they do things like this.
00:07:22.000 Don't tell me.
00:07:23.000 You're not going to convince anybody that this Judge Marchand is not a Democrat operative.
00:07:27.000 You know, I don't mean that literally not working for Democrats.
00:07:29.000 I'm saying he is of the political persuasion that is aligned with Democrats to help them out.
00:07:34.000 They're not going to stop here.
00:07:35.000 But what do you think happens?
00:07:36.000 Trump goes to prison on Friday?
00:07:39.000 It's a Friday.
00:07:40.000 It's where they go to kill news.
00:07:41.000 Old move, Cotton.
00:07:42.000 I mean, this is the elected president.
00:07:44.000 We came in.
00:07:45.000 We said we're in the sky.
00:07:46.000 For them to put him into prison at this point after all of this, it wouldn't shock me if that was the move.
00:07:51.000 We saw the first four years of his presidency, and they threw the book at him.
00:07:54.000 We went through COVID, we went through lies, Russiagate.
00:07:57.000 It would not shock me to see them put him in prison for 12 days.
00:08:01.000 What if he did the oath from prison, and then he pardoned himself from prison?
00:08:06.000 He can't pardon a state-level church.
00:08:08.000 He can't?
00:08:09.000 Nope.
00:08:09.000 Nope.
00:08:09.000 Wow.
00:08:10.000 Raining on your parade over here.
00:08:11.000 I thought he was God-emperor.
00:08:12.000 Only federal charges.
00:08:14.000 But a lot of people are pointing out that you can be sworn in from anywhere.
00:08:18.000 Was it Reagan?
00:08:19.000 He was sworn in on a plane or something like that?
00:08:23.000 I think that'd be based.
00:08:24.000 You don't have to be sworn in at a specific location.
00:08:28.000 It just has to be...
00:08:29.000 I'm not sure who the actual person doing the swearing is.
00:08:32.000 I'm not sure if it has to be by an official...
00:08:35.000 by a specific person.
00:08:39.000 That's...
00:08:40.000 In the federal government, or if it's just someone that represents the government?
00:08:44.000 Wouldn't it be crazy if Trump is sentenced to prison, and then he's in prison, and they swear him in as president, but he's still in prison?
00:08:52.000 Yeah, he can't go to the Capitol, so how does that work?
00:08:55.000 Apparently he can be sworn in from anywhere.
00:08:56.000 You could email in prison, he could still get some things done behind bars, and I will tell you the clout he will have going into prison, they're not going to mess with him.
00:09:03.000 It's going to be very hard to get with him.
00:09:05.000 He will have a lot of power there.
00:09:07.000 I mean, we can pardon anyone, apparently, at this point.
00:09:10.000 Oh, right.
00:09:11.000 They're going to be like, hey, I got a homie on federal charges.
00:09:13.000 Yo, pardon him.
00:09:14.000 They're going to leave him alone.
00:09:16.000 There's no one that has to do the swearing-in.
00:09:18.000 The Constitution doesn't specify anyone.
00:09:20.000 Usually it's Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, but it doesn't have to be anyone in particular.
00:09:25.000 So it could be just, I suppose anyone could say, okay, take care of them.
00:09:29.000 The warden gives them the...
00:09:32.000 Oh, people are saying it was Lyndon Johnson when Kennedy was shot.
00:09:35.000 Yeah, there you go.
00:09:36.000 That makes sense.
00:09:37.000 Sworn in on a plane.
00:09:38.000 Yeah, I get that.
00:09:40.000 Extenuating circumstances.
00:09:41.000 Kennedy was shot?
00:09:43.000 Why'd you use the passive voice there?
00:09:44.000 Who shot him?
00:09:46.000 Because it's in the past?
00:09:48.000 Passive voice.
00:09:49.000 For some of us.
00:09:50.000 He was shot.
00:09:51.000 He was.
00:09:51.000 By a gun.
00:09:54.000 Who shot him?
00:09:56.000 He was shot.
00:09:57.000 Was it Lee Harvey?
00:10:00.000 I'm asking.
00:10:01.000 I'm seriously asking.
00:10:03.000 Who do you think shot Kennedy?
00:10:05.000 Who do I think?
00:10:07.000 I do think that it was Lee Harvey Oswald among the people shooting at him.
00:10:11.000 I don't know.
00:10:12.000 Ron Paul.
00:10:13.000 We did a cultural episode.
00:10:14.000 I don't even think he was in the book deposit.
00:10:15.000 Ron Paul said CIA did it.
00:10:17.000 That's correct.
00:10:18.000 That's what I understand.
00:10:22.000 Didn't Rand say that too?
00:10:25.000 And then RFK Jr. said it.
00:10:27.000 And that one's the real weight when like RFK Jr. is like...
00:10:30.000 Actually, I don't know if Rand said it.
00:10:32.000 Wasn't there paperwork or something like that released recently that implicated that the CIA was involved at least?
00:10:40.000 I don't...
00:10:40.000 I'll Google that to see.
00:10:42.000 So we got a super chat.
00:10:44.000 Joe is saying the swearing has to be done by a judge.
00:10:47.000 By a judge.
00:10:48.000 So here we go.
00:10:49.000 We got this.
00:10:49.000 We'll read a little bit more from the story.
00:10:51.000 They say, We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration.
00:11:16.000 You know, look, there's this clip on CNN where Scott Jennings gets told to zip it by that Bolden, whatever her name is.
00:11:25.000 I don't know her name.
00:11:26.000 And I'm just thinking, like, for one, like, who cares?
00:11:28.000 Because nobody watches CNN. But on this show, she asks Scott specifically, like, how come so many people won't acknowledge how bad January 6th was?
00:11:38.000 And then Scott...
00:11:39.000 Plays this like, I'm going to be nice to CNN, and goes, well, you know, some people have acknowledged it, and I'm sitting here being like, yeah, the voters did when they voted for Trump.
00:11:46.000 They acknowledged that they didn't care.
00:11:48.000 So, here's my advice to all of you.
00:11:52.000 When anyone at any point, your cousin, your aunt, whatever, your friend, says, how come Republicans don't denounce January 6th when the Krasensteins tweet at you, say, we all acknowledge January 6th.
00:12:08.000 By electing Donald Trump.
00:12:10.000 That's how little we care about this nonsense you're screaming about.
00:12:14.000 Yeah, when I was shopping around my book originally with publishers and agents, they're telling me Trump was old news and that he was pissed.
00:12:21.000 This was two years ago.
00:12:22.000 I told you he was old news.
00:12:24.000 I told you it's old news.
00:12:24.000 It's over.
00:12:25.000 He's not going to make it through the primary.
00:12:27.000 I said, all right, I'll start my own publishing company.
00:12:30.000 Thank you very much.
00:12:31.000 Wow.
00:12:31.000 Boy, that was dumb.
00:12:33.000 Yes.
00:12:35.000 Publishing is even dumber than news, as I've learned.
00:12:37.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:38.000 I mean, they're looking—look, when it comes to books, it could be a book with just every page says book, book, book, book, so long as the cover sells.
00:12:45.000 You know what I mean?
00:12:46.000 Yeah.
00:12:47.000 Well, Michael Knowles had the book, right?
00:12:48.000 It was Reasons to Vote Democrat.
00:12:50.000 It was blank inside.
00:12:51.000 Yeah.
00:12:52.000 There are no reasons.
00:12:53.000 I should have come up with that.
00:12:56.000 Yeah, I think we got a mandate on Election Day on November 3rd.
00:13:01.000 That's it.
00:13:02.000 Nobody cares about January 6th.
00:13:04.000 Here we are, and we're pretty much over it.
00:13:06.000 But I'm curious if you guys think that there's going to be any other plays outside of this.
00:13:14.000 There are fears about assassination attempts, things like that.
00:13:16.000 Like, are they going to let Trump just become president and get his agenda through?
00:13:20.000 So I've been here a couple times in the interim between January 6th and today.
00:13:24.000 And I have said, I don't think they're going to let him run.
00:13:27.000 And then he won the election.
00:13:29.000 But they shot him in between.
00:13:31.000 That thing did happen.
00:13:32.000 Horrible.
00:13:33.000 That thing did happen.
00:13:34.000 And I'm looking at this, and this is kind of the death throes we're seeing from the media.
00:13:38.000 They're not done.
00:13:39.000 And I think that even if you're sworn in, they're not going to stop.
00:13:42.000 We're going to see four more years of this.
00:13:44.000 And I wonder, we saw the playbook last time, I am genuinely worried about what comes next.
00:13:49.000 So I honestly think that they're limited in what they will be able to get away with because of the fact that it was such a resounding victory for the right generally, right?
00:14:01.000 And it's not just here in the U.S. The writing's on the wall for Trudeau.
00:14:07.000 You've got right wing.
00:14:09.000 I think that's the reason why you see all these right-leaning parties gaining...
00:14:39.000 I think you're right in that people on the left still would love to be able to do something, but I think that they don't have as much ability because people are tired and they're not listening to the left as much anymore.
00:14:52.000 I don't know.
00:14:53.000 The CNN thing was funny to me because...
00:14:56.000 They're still trying to play this game of both sides, and they had on Bakari Sellers, who just lied and said there's no U.S. troops.
00:15:03.000 Trump's inheriting a government with no U.S. troops overseas in a combat zone.
00:15:07.000 And then Scott Jennings mentions there are.
00:15:09.000 And then she stops him from getting into the details.
00:15:11.000 We have 2,000 troops in Syria.
00:15:14.000 How could you have a dude go on TV and just lie like that?
00:15:20.000 I've got to tell you, we had that dude Luke on.
00:15:23.000 A couple weeks ago.
00:15:24.000 Luke Beasley.
00:15:25.000 Luke Beasley.
00:15:25.000 That was fireworks.
00:15:27.000 Everybody loved that clip.
00:15:28.000 And I'm like, look, we debated about left-wing and right-wing violence.
00:15:33.000 And I'll tag this one on.
00:15:34.000 He's coming back because he's a good dude.
00:15:36.000 Props to him.
00:15:37.000 He's coming back on.
00:15:38.000 He's coming back.
00:15:39.000 He's going to be in town.
00:15:40.000 He said he'd love to come back and do more.
00:15:41.000 We have another show planned in like a week or two.
00:15:43.000 So it'll be fun.
00:15:44.000 But the problem with the left-right-wing violence thing is that the left is a cult.
00:15:49.000 Where as long as you adhere to their social order, you're leftist and everyone else is right-wing.
00:15:55.000 So when they say like...
00:15:56.000 The right wing is more violent.
00:15:58.000 It's like, dude, you're comparing like some Bitcoin libertarian tech guy in San Francisco to a and claiming he is part of the same ideological faction as a shaved head tattooed neo-Nazi who lives in the wilderness of Appalachia.
00:16:12.000 Like two completely different worldviews with no relation whatsoever.
00:16:16.000 And you're like right wing violence.
00:16:18.000 I'm like, yeah, you can't compare these two people like a middle aged, overweight, day laboring Trump supporter.
00:16:26.000 Who wants to watch a game of football and order a slice of pizza, votes for Trump and is called right-wing, and then they say, you're violent because some unhinged racist guy killed someone in a church.
00:16:36.000 And it's like, but this guy doesn't share any values with that other guy.
00:16:40.000 The left, specifically, these people all have an overlapping adherence to their social orthodoxy.
00:16:45.000 That's what we'll criticize.
00:16:48.000 That's a good point, the fact that the left is defined as narrowly as possible.
00:16:53.000 When the left is talking about left-wing violence and the right is defined as broadly as possible.
00:16:58.000 Antifa is by design, you know, if you walk up to somebody at a protest and you're like, yo, are you Antifa?
00:17:02.000 They're not going to say yes.
00:17:04.000 So it's by design, you know, a flat hierarchy similar to like the terrorist cells that operate around the world.
00:17:09.000 And, you know, it's easy to, you know, like spot a proud boy because they're proud of them.
00:17:17.000 I've been on the ground and I've seen these black bloc types.
00:17:20.000 We call them Antifa.
00:17:21.000 They have different views.
00:17:22.000 They do.
00:17:23.000 But they fight together.
00:17:24.000 So it's like when you see a tanky, you know, like a communist, Soviet-style, like, we should control everything, and then you see a radical, you know, they call themselves anarchists, but they're not.
00:17:35.000 They're extremely violent.
00:17:36.000 But they don't.
00:17:37.000 They'll tell you, oh, we don't like the tankies.
00:17:39.000 We don't like the communists.
00:17:40.000 And I'm like, you are wearing the same clothes as them, standing next to them and fighting together.
00:17:45.000 Bro, you're not gonna...
00:17:47.000 I'm sorry, dude.
00:17:48.000 You guys fight together.
00:17:49.000 You can argue all day and night.
00:17:51.000 But once again, they try to make that claim that some anarcho-capitalist tech guy who buys a bunch of Bitcoin is comparable to a neo-Nazi.
00:18:00.000 They're two completely distinct things.
00:18:01.000 My complaint is that they call me a cult.
00:18:04.000 I'm in a cult, right?
00:18:05.000 But no one eats the right more than the right.
00:18:07.000 We bury each other on a daily basis.
00:18:09.000 We call each other out.
00:18:10.000 We're honest.
00:18:10.000 We actually have our convictions, and we speak about them.
00:18:14.000 Yeah, the whole visa thing.
00:18:15.000 Yeah, the H-1 visa.
00:18:16.000 Yeah, I mean, that was, everybody was, you know, decrying like, oh, like, you know, this is, the right is eating itself, like you said, but I view that as actually having a conversation about immigration that has been, you know, tabled for 30 years.
00:18:30.000 But it wasn't even the right, really.
00:18:32.000 It was the disaffected liberals who joined MAGA, many of them arguing with MAGA. MAGA has always been immigration critical to a great degree.
00:18:43.000 Like, Milo tweeted out, 20-year moratorium on immigration.
00:18:46.000 And I'm like, yeah, I've heard that from a lot of Trump supporters.
00:18:48.000 That's not surprising.
00:18:49.000 And then it's the Elon types, who were former liberals, who voted for Trump because of wokeness, who are saying, no, we're for H-1B. And it's like, right, this is now the reckoning between the disfected liberal types and the conservatives.
00:19:01.000 I don't want to play world police.
00:19:03.000 I don't want to play world bank.
00:19:04.000 And I definitely don't want to play world refugee camp.
00:19:06.000 And my thought has always been, get your house in order.
00:19:09.000 And until our house is in order, maybe we stop playing World Refugee Camp.
00:19:13.000 Yeah, my view, it's really funny because there's like this meme going around that said, I'd like to find it, Team Elon and Team USA. And they put me in Team Elon.
00:19:23.000 And I'm like, I'm telling you guys, a lot of it was bot farming, was a bot attack.
00:19:27.000 And people got mad at me for saying that the censorship attacks against Elon were, appeared to be an op.
00:19:36.000 And I'm not wrong.
00:19:38.000 I'm not saying there's no real sentiment against him, but people who are really stupid can understand this.
00:19:43.000 So like all these like people on X start tweeting at me being like, are you wrong?
00:19:47.000 It's not an op.
00:19:47.000 I actually believe this.
00:19:48.000 And I'm like, dude, when there's an opinion that exists, of course there are people who actually believe it.
00:19:54.000 When bot accounts start tweeting generic racist things that kill the argument against H1B, it looks like an op.
00:20:02.000 And so me coming out and saying it looks like an op, The bot farms instantly put me in the Elon camp, despite my opinion on H-1B being, yeah, we should suspend it and reform it because it's broken.
00:20:14.000 But they don't know how to address that because they're not real people.
00:20:17.000 Well, it's nuance.
00:20:18.000 That's a tough thing.
00:20:20.000 AI can't handle it.
00:20:22.000 Well, plus, nowadays, what even is...
00:20:25.000 Because I'm pro-free speech and anti-war.
00:20:27.000 That would have made me a left-winger 15 years ago.
00:20:29.000 But now, you know, as the sands are shifting, as the paradigm is shifting, the definition of what these boxes are is completely changing.
00:20:37.000 I know neocon, I'll tell you that.
00:20:40.000 Left and right are easily defined.
00:20:41.000 The right is anybody who watches the news and has a general understanding of what's happening, and the left is people who either know or don't, but either way just adhere to their social orthodoxy.
00:20:48.000 See, that's the interesting thing, though, is that the left is supposed to be...
00:20:56.000 Parties have flipped historically.
00:20:57.000 Like liberal and progressive are two different things.
00:20:59.000 Yeah, well, that's one of the things that I try to articulate frequently here.
00:21:03.000 The idea of a progressive is different than a liberal.
00:21:06.000 I don't feel like I get a whole lot of traction because people on the right and conservatives have gotten so accustomed to calling Democrats liberals.
00:21:14.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:21:14.000 That the argument that, hey, Democrats and progressives are not...
00:21:19.000 The same thing as a liberal.
00:21:21.000 A liberal looks at liberty first, blah, blah, blah.
00:21:23.000 You can make that argument until you're blue in the face, but if people aren't listening, people aren't listening.
00:21:27.000 And that's one of the things that I feel like people just—they're so used to calling Democrats liberals.
00:21:34.000 Thank you, Rush Limbaugh, in the 90s, because he's the one that did it.
00:21:38.000 But that was just—that word has become so radioactive with the conservatives that you can't really— Here's the meme.
00:21:47.000 This was the H-1B debate.
00:21:49.000 Team USA versus Team Elon.
00:21:51.000 And they put me in Team Elon.
00:21:53.000 And this is really funny because I say, like, when I say it's bot accounts, here's what it means.
00:21:59.000 Okay?
00:22:00.000 When I come out and say, hey, it looks like there's an op happening against Elon to try and make Elon and MAGA fight.
00:22:06.000 Because that's been a narrative for months now.
00:22:09.000 And what did we get?
00:22:10.000 People were tweeting, like, Elon and Trump know there's a campaign against them.
00:22:14.000 They're not going to fall for it.
00:22:15.000 But then as soon as the H-1B thing happens, all of a sudden, everybody's falling for it.
00:22:19.000 But my point was specifically that there were brand new X accounts, accounts that had opened up only in the past month.
00:22:25.000 People had started screenshotting, just pointing it out.
00:22:27.000 They were posting insanely racist things.
00:22:30.000 I think Elon took the bait.
00:22:31.000 He said, oh, these racists are going to be bad for the Republican Party.
00:22:34.000 And I said, yeah, we can't.
00:22:35.000 I tweeted, we can't allow fringe identitarianism basically destroy the Trump movement or MAGA or whatever, and that there was an op.
00:22:45.000 And then I went on this tirade about...
00:22:47.000 Actually going into H-1B, how...
00:22:50.000 I'll put it this way.
00:22:51.000 H-1B, for those that don't know, it's supposed to be, hey, my company can't find the skilled enough worker for my company.
00:23:00.000 I have no choice but to hire from, insert other country.
00:23:03.000 $85,000 per year.
00:23:04.000 But that's not what it is.
00:23:06.000 Patrick Bette David got called out because apparently he had an application for, I think it was a graphic designer, for $41,000 a year or something like that.
00:23:12.000 Was that what it was?
00:23:12.000 Was it a graphic designer?
00:23:14.000 I don't know.
00:23:14.000 I'm not in the weeds that deep.
00:23:15.000 But he got called out for it.
00:23:16.000 I don't think he really addressed it.
00:23:17.000 He just said, hey, look, we hire a lot of people and stuff like that.
00:23:20.000 And that's not what H-1B is supposed to be for.
00:23:23.000 And it's a lottery, too.
00:23:24.000 So the argument that, oh, we're getting the top 0.01%, it's like, how do you get that through a lottery?
00:23:31.000 And I went through that with an employee when I was working at the Daily Caller.
00:23:35.000 We went for the H-1B, didn't get the lottery, and then we got the O-1 Extraordinary Person's Visa, which is a way higher bar, and the lawyers were like, this probably isn't going to work, but if you're really that talented, then you can make your case.
00:23:47.000 But the H-1B is literally, hey, throw my ball into there and see if it comes out in the lottery.
00:23:52.000 So how are you getting the top.01% from that?
00:23:55.000 Yeah, I think H-1B is total BS. It's been abused by big tech.
00:24:01.000 They blast the H-1B lottery with as many applications as possible, so they end up getting almost all of them.
00:24:07.000 And then what ends up happening is the reason why I think H-1B is fine in concept, but it's not how it's actually brought about.
00:24:16.000 The problem is if we as a nation and all of our companies keep saying, we don't think the American people are driven enough.
00:24:25.000 And have the work ethic to do the job so we have no choice but to hire someone else.
00:24:29.000 You're going to bring some dude from India, from China, from wherever.
00:24:32.000 They're going to come take the job.
00:24:33.000 They're going to have kids.
00:24:35.000 Those kids are going to grow up in a diseased culture where they develop the same as every other American, lazy and incompetent, as these people argue.
00:24:42.000 I'm not saying they are.
00:24:43.000 And then what's going to happen in 20 years?
00:24:45.000 They're going to go, once again, all these Americans are too lazy and we have to hire from China or India.
00:24:50.000 And then the children of H-1B recipients are being raised in a culture.
00:24:54.000 Where they don't learn work ethic and they don't succeed.
00:24:57.000 There's only one solution.
00:24:59.000 Shut down H-1B and require American companies to invest in Americans.
00:25:04.000 And if you're upset because you're like, yeah, but American workers are lazy, then you gotta find the best of the best, the cream of the crop, and you have to work with them and train them and develop this.
00:25:11.000 We have to reform this culture.
00:25:13.000 We're not gonna import our way out of cultural decline.
00:25:17.000 I look at it from an altruistic standpoint, right?
00:25:19.000 The idea that these countries are, the people are fleeing them coming here because there's opportunity, right?
00:25:23.000 They're brought over with opportunity.
00:25:25.000 These countries not emerged, and they're coming here because their countries have not.
00:25:29.000 The altruist side of me says, if we're scalping the best and the brightest, they will never have their moment, right?
00:25:34.000 These people have to take their way out of a hole, and we're taking their best shovelers.
00:25:38.000 Me, what I think is, let them stay there, let them develop their own countries, let them have their revolutions, build your own thing.
00:25:43.000 And in the meantime, we can build our own thing.
00:25:45.000 And wouldn't that be the best thing for everyone?
00:25:47.000 To be self-sufficient, not rely on foreign aid.
00:25:50.000 A disaster happens, sure, we can come together, we can help some country that was riddled with an earthquake or tsunami or whatever.
00:25:56.000 But in the meantime, fix your own homes.
00:26:00.000 Well, I mean, there's got to be, first of all, there has to be a motivation to do that by the countries you're referring to.
00:26:05.000 I think that, Mike, if we're actually talking about...
00:26:09.000 People that are high-skilled, that are like the cream of the crop.
00:26:14.000 If they want to come to the United States, I don't think there's a problem with it.
00:26:17.000 But at the same time, it shouldn't be at the expense of Americans looking for work.
00:26:22.000 So if there are Americans that can fill these jobs, the Americans should get the opportunity first.
00:26:27.000 The idea of a lottery system?
00:26:29.000 That's a terrible idea.
00:26:31.000 The people that come to the US, there shouldn't be like a lottery, like, hey, you're the lucky guy that gets to come.
00:26:38.000 It should be, we identify someone that has a...
00:26:41.000 Particular skill.
00:26:43.000 Pardon me?
00:26:44.000 That's what the O-1 Extraordinary Person's Visa is.
00:26:46.000 Yeah, well, that's what it should be.
00:26:48.000 We submitted a 150-page legal brief, and I needed 10 recommendations from different people in the media, submitted work samples, and yeah, you have to prove the case that, okay, this person's actually extraordinary.
00:27:00.000 And actually, my letter to Immigration Services was like, the H-1B gets exploited.
00:27:06.000 Buy massive companies and we're a small media company and he will have an outsized impact on our output, the quality of our output.
00:27:13.000 And that's, you know, there's also a minimum.
00:27:18.000 So each, you know, the bar for what the starting wage is for that industry is higher.
00:27:25.000 So, you know, it's not also like you're just able to, like, get cheap labor.
00:27:29.000 Yeah, I don't have a problem.
00:27:30.000 And the people that are like, oh, let's shut down immigration.
00:27:32.000 I honestly don't have any kind of like moral problem with shutting down immigration to the U.S. except for, you know, like the what was the program you're talking about?
00:27:41.000 Oh, one of the one.
00:27:42.000 Yeah.
00:27:42.000 Except for oh, one visas.
00:27:44.000 That's fine with me.
00:27:45.000 It's not like I'm like, oh, we need to have these people come in.
00:27:48.000 We need to be we need to go ahead and make sure that there are people that can get us.
00:27:51.000 You could shut down all immigration and I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep.
00:27:55.000 Right.
00:27:55.000 Like, there is there is an argument to be made that like the shutting down of all legal and illegal immigration to the United States would.
00:28:04.000 Bring the economy to a halt.
00:28:08.000 I mean, obviously, like, it's hard to...
00:28:11.000 Okay, so...
00:28:12.000 So my point being there are people that make a moral argument about it.
00:28:16.000 Because most of the people on the left, they're making a moral argument.
00:28:18.000 They're like, it's wrong, it's racist, it's bad, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:21.000 So I'm not making an economic argument.
00:28:24.000 I'm not talking about the economics of it.
00:28:25.000 I'm talking about the morals of it.
00:28:26.000 There's nothing immoral about the United States saying we're not taking...
00:28:36.000 I don't care about—I hate that argument.
00:28:47.000 I absolutely despise that argument.
00:28:49.000 Sam Hyde had an amazing video.
00:28:51.000 Did you guys see Sam Hyde's video on this one?
00:28:53.000 Dude, what really bothers me about these libertarians—we're also having some libertarian who's going to come on and debate H-1B and other issues in a couple weeks.
00:29:01.000 My friends, everybody out there listening, I do not care about your economy.
00:29:07.000 That's it.
00:29:08.000 You want to come to me and say, hey, Tim, if we do this policy, we're going to see numbers go up by this much.
00:29:12.000 I'm going to be like, don't know, don't care, because I'm a guy who's happy living in a van down by the river so long as I have a couple chickens outside.
00:29:17.000 You know what I care about?
00:29:19.000 Easiest example.
00:29:20.000 Waking up on Christmas morning, running down the stairs, snow is falling.
00:29:25.000 I know not everybody lives in an area with snow, but this is my childhood.
00:29:27.000 You look out the window, it's dimly lit.
00:29:30.000 It's dawn.
00:29:32.000 The snow is falling.
00:29:33.000 The presence under the tree.
00:29:34.000 That is unquantifiable.
00:29:36.000 That's what Sam Howe was saying.
00:29:36.000 Some things are unquantifiable.
00:29:37.000 I care about the traditions of this country.
00:29:40.000 I care about the things that I experience as a child that I love and enjoy, that I want to persist.
00:29:46.000 And this libertarian ethic of as long as the numbers are good, it's fine policy is insane to me.
00:29:55.000 Look, I get along with libertarians very much so on the anti-war stuff.
00:29:59.000 But in this regard, y'all are crazy.
00:30:02.000 And so this is what ends up happening.
00:30:03.000 I said, I despise free trade.
00:30:05.000 And then this one dude's like, tell me you don't understand economics without telling me you don't understand economics or whatever.
00:30:10.000 And I'm like, this is the libertarian argument.
00:30:12.000 Free trade, but we make money doing it.
00:30:15.000 And I'm like, yeah.
00:30:15.000 Yeah, and then we outsource industry and kill culture.
00:30:18.000 And that's what happened with Bush initiated NAFTA.
00:30:22.000 And then Bill Clinton perpetuated those free trade policies and signed with the WTO, basically opening up trade with Asia, doing the same thing that we did with NAFTA globally.
00:30:33.000 And so the Democrats, yeah, you sell a bunch of jobs overseas over the course of 20, 30 years as a party, then you're going to have consequences.
00:30:40.000 Let me tell you guys something.
00:30:42.000 Right now, I skateboard, right?
00:30:45.000 Right now, what region of the planet do you think is biggest for skateboarding?
00:30:50.000 Brazil.
00:30:50.000 Brazil.
00:30:51.000 I was going to actually say Brazil.
00:30:52.000 Brazil's good, but no.
00:30:54.000 But it is funny that you didn't say, I don't know.
00:30:56.000 The United States, considering that's where it's from, and Southern California is supposed to be the skateboarding.
00:31:00.000 Don't say China.
00:31:02.000 It's Southeast Asia.
00:31:03.000 Really?
00:31:03.000 Yeah, it's largely Japan.
00:31:05.000 They've got reality TV shows.
00:31:07.000 They've got sporting game shows called Caso.
00:31:09.000 They're launching content hubs.
00:31:12.000 The best athletes in the world, one of my buddies is a pro, and he was saying that it's like, when you watch the latest competitions, it's all just like, what 15-year-old Japanese kid is going to beat which 15-year-old Chinese kid?
00:31:23.000 And I'll tell you exactly why this is.
00:31:25.000 It's because we outsourced all the manufacturing of our skateboards and our products to China.
00:31:31.000 China built an industry around making skateboards.
00:31:33.000 It became prominent in Southeast Asia.
00:31:36.000 And the United States, it's completely dead to where the biggest manufacturers have fled the country and aren't producing content anymore.
00:31:42.000 And so, not to get in a whole tirade about skateboarding, it's one example.
00:31:46.000 And these libertarians are like, but we all make money.
00:31:48.000 And I'm like, yeah, you make money for six years until you've completely extracted every job and every expert, and they're no longer teaching kids, and kids are no longer getting involved, and then when they grow up, what do they do?
00:32:00.000 So I'm talking to my buddies, and I went to Chicago over the holidays, and a couple of my buddies from back in the day, we were hanging out, and I said, as we were walking downtown, new construction, I said, wow, look at that stair set.
00:32:11.000 That's what skateboarders do.
00:32:12.000 And I'm like, where are all the kids at?
00:32:14.000 And they're like, bro, kids don't go outside anymore.
00:32:16.000 They sit in their room, depressed on the internet all day, on social media, scrolling TikTok.
00:32:20.000 And I'm like, this is a component of what happens when you open things up, sell off all your jobs.
00:32:29.000 You know, especially these leftists, liberals, they think that money is food.
00:32:34.000 They think that money is energy.
00:32:37.000 They don't realize it's just a representation of your labor.
00:32:39.000 And these libertarians too, they don't realize that when you outsource your jobs, when you import laborers and you leave American workers behind, you're giving yourself a good 10 years before your entire system completely collapses due to people who have no culture, who are bored, depressed, and nobody can do the jobs anymore.
00:32:57.000 So I'm sick of this.
00:32:58.000 I'm sick of that libertarian.
00:32:59.000 Well, Riot Diet is printed in the United States.
00:33:02.000 Good.
00:33:03.000 All of our boonies HQ boards are made in the United States.
00:33:06.000 There we go.
00:33:07.000 It's more expensive to do.
00:33:08.000 And so somebody tweeted at me when I tweeted this, and they said surfboards used to be made in the United States.
00:33:13.000 Yeah.
00:33:14.000 And local wood shops that would make surfboards would hold events in the park, at the beach or whatever, and they'd tell everybody, come down, check out our new surfboards.
00:33:22.000 And then families would be like, oh, let's go look at the surfboard thing.
00:33:25.000 That the people who make the skateboards, the surfboards, their kids would come, learn from their dad how to make a surfboard, and you had generational surfboards.
00:33:33.000 Hand-shaped.
00:33:34.000 Now it's all machines.
00:33:35.000 You had a dad with three sons, and each of those sons knew how to surfboard.
00:33:38.000 I had a Takayama, so I have a Takayama.
00:33:39.000 And then what happened?
00:33:40.000 This is what someone tweeted at me, because I don't know surfing.
00:33:42.000 He said, now it's all being made in China.
00:33:44.000 It is, yeah.
00:33:44.000 All these companies are gone.
00:33:45.000 You said the exact thing I was going to come up with.
00:33:47.000 It's, we don't have a generational mindset.
00:33:50.000 We have lost the ability to see past ourselves, to see our grandkids.
00:33:53.000 I like building, I like planting trees.
00:33:55.000 The things that I do, the things I'm setting up for grandkids, great-grandkids, I'll never meet.
00:33:59.000 Because it's important to me that when they grow up, they have the idea of what I thought America should be left for them.
00:34:05.000 I think we should be the first generation that leaves it a better place than how we found it.
00:34:09.000 But let's talk about what it means to be a better place.
00:34:11.000 And that's the crux of the argument, is these individuals who are arguing that so long as we're at 3% growth, it's a better place.
00:34:18.000 I say BS. B.S. When we have kids who can experience a Christmas morning.
00:34:23.000 And not everybody has to have Christmas.
00:34:26.000 You can have Hanukkah.
00:34:28.000 You can have Kwanzaa.
00:34:28.000 I don't really care.
00:34:29.000 Why Hanukkah though it's him?
00:34:31.000 Because it's another holiday event.
00:34:36.000 Sorry.
00:34:37.000 Those are the ones we have.
00:34:38.000 I don't care what you celebrate.
00:34:40.000 Can you just tell us that you're selling out to the Daily Bar?
00:34:43.000 I have matzos in the other room.
00:34:45.000 But you know what?
00:34:46.000 As this nation...
00:34:51.000 We have a tradition of Christmas.
00:34:54.000 And I don't care if someone celebrates something else, but the idea that you can import an entirely different culture that doesn't celebrate these same things, that doesn't have the same reverence for freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
00:35:09.000 Freedom of assembly.
00:35:10.000 I don't care.
00:35:11.000 Absolutely.
00:35:12.000 I like, you know, you go to the mall and there's a Santa Claus and you tell them what you want and it's fun traditions.
00:35:19.000 There's no number here.
00:35:21.000 So how do you leave this country a better place?
00:35:23.000 In my opinion, it's more Christmas.
00:35:25.000 And I'm only saying Christmas is one example.
00:35:27.000 It's baseball and it's apple pie.
00:35:29.000 Whatever you think.
00:35:30.000 I like when people watch the Super Bowl.
00:35:32.000 I think it's fun.
00:35:33.000 I think the ridiculous Super Bowl commercial nonsense, I think it's fun.
00:35:37.000 These are things that are inherently American.
00:35:39.000 What about like the satanic halftime shows?
00:35:41.000 What about those?
00:35:42.000 Yeah, see, that's where things are falling apart.
00:35:44.000 And this is their weird attempt at trying to make some mixed bad culture.
00:35:48.000 Janet Jackson ruined America.
00:35:50.000 That is when it started, right there.
00:35:53.000 I'll tell you this.
00:35:54.000 I'll say this.
00:35:54.000 Boom.
00:35:55.000 Then you have an insurrection.
00:35:56.000 That's what happens.
00:35:57.000 You guys know about the grooming gang story blowing up in the UK? Yeah.
00:36:01.000 We're going to save this one for the members only because it's so horrifically graphic.
00:36:04.000 I don't want any kids out there who may be listening to stumble upon this.
00:36:07.000 And I want to stress this.
00:36:08.000 Everybody says, you know, Tim doesn't want to swear because of demonization.
00:36:11.000 No, no, no, no.
00:36:11.000 In the early days of the show, we swore, people emailed us saying, hey, I put the show on my TV and my kids are in the room.
00:36:17.000 Please don't swear.
00:36:17.000 I said, okay, we'll try to make it top-level news and we'll keep the crazy stuff.
00:36:22.000 But the story out of the UK with the grooming gangs.
00:36:26.000 My understanding is that somebody took a transcript from the trials.
00:36:31.000 Michael Malice tweets it out, saying he didn't understand the depravity.
00:36:35.000 People don't understand.
00:36:37.000 This story is so absolutely horrifying, what these gangs were doing to 13- and 12-year-old girls.
00:36:44.000 We're not talking about grooming.
00:36:45.000 We're talking about torture, like hardcore torture.
00:36:48.000 Now, I'm not going to get into full details, let's say for the members only, where it's not so family-friendly.
00:36:52.000 The point is, the story now being reported is that politicians and police intentionally covered up the mass gang abuse of children because they wanted to persist a narrative that multiculturalism worked.
00:37:06.000 That is absolutely insanity.
00:37:09.000 Yes.
00:37:09.000 They'd rather keep their jobs than stop this atrocity.
00:37:12.000 They'd rather keep their ideology.
00:37:13.000 They're terrified of being called racist.
00:37:16.000 Well, the FBI kept the books too, right?
00:37:17.000 Absolutely terrified.
00:37:17.000 It wasn't like...
00:37:19.000 I mean, you can say what you want about, like, ethnic classifications, but they certainly, they lumped in Latinos as white, right?
00:37:27.000 Oh, of course.
00:37:28.000 Yeah, they've always done that.
00:37:29.000 All right, let's move on.
00:37:30.000 Let's talk about some, let's get back to the news here, because we do have some...
00:37:32.000 I'm Italian, so, you know, I'm basically Latino.
00:37:35.000 UFC, Dana White is on the board of Facebook.
00:37:38.000 It's big news.
00:37:39.000 Okay, but first...
00:37:40.000 From ABC News, Justin Trudeau says he'll resign as Prime Minister.
00:37:45.000 No!
00:37:47.000 It's the end of the Castro legacy.
00:37:50.000 Oh, no.
00:37:51.000 This goes to, like, this is, like, you know, I made this point earlier.
00:37:54.000 Like, overall, the behavior of governments in the West during COVID is largely frowned upon by the populations, how they acted.
00:38:03.000 Like, they're sick of it.
00:38:04.000 It's almost like they lock people in their houses for no reason.
00:38:07.000 Do you guys know why?
00:38:09.000 Justin Trudeau's resigning.
00:38:11.000 Because even Canada's like Indians?
00:38:13.000 Because Donald Trump...
00:38:15.000 Was it the blackface scandal?
00:38:17.000 It wasn't.
00:38:18.000 He was also a sheik.
00:38:19.000 Let's keep listing all of the scandals Trudeau's been involved in, because the answer's no to all of them, which is insane.
00:38:25.000 Donald Trump nuked Justin Trudeau.
00:38:28.000 This all started with the Trump threat of tariffs, and then it was Chrystia Freeland, I think her name is.
00:38:34.000 I'm not a big...
00:38:35.000 I don't know much about Canada.
00:38:37.000 Got into a fight with Trudeau over it, then resigned.
00:38:40.000 He wanted to move her out, saying, no, no, no.
00:38:42.000 Trudeau, cowardly, against Donald Trump.
00:38:46.000 Did you guys hear the story?
00:38:47.000 He went to Mar-a-Lago, right?
00:38:48.000 Yeah, did you hear the story that Ben Shapiro told?
00:38:50.000 Kissed the ring.
00:38:51.000 Ben said, it was something like, Trump goes to Trudeau and says, what's the one thing that I could do that would destroy your economy?
00:39:00.000 And Trudeau said something like, I guess if you put a tariff on our goods...
00:39:05.000 Oh, you wouldn't want to do that, eh?
00:39:07.000 Oh, you don't want to do that, eh?
00:39:08.000 And then Trump said, the number one rule in negotiations is never answer the question, what is the one thing I could do to destroy you?
00:39:16.000 Second thing is, I'm going to put a tariff on your cars and destroy your economy.
00:39:19.000 He's like, don't put the tariffs on the hockey sticks.
00:39:21.000 Just don't put the tariffs on the hockey sticks.
00:39:23.000 Not the maple syrup!
00:39:25.000 So...
00:39:26.000 We want the north side of Niagara Falls.
00:39:27.000 That just goes to show how terrible of a leader Justin Trudeau is.
00:39:32.000 Like, how bad, like, literally walked into the trap that Donald Trump set, you know?
00:39:37.000 Well, his father wasn't great either.
00:39:40.000 Correct.
00:39:41.000 And his uncle.
00:39:42.000 Also bad.
00:39:43.000 The art of the deal.
00:39:44.000 Well, you know, and both figuratively and literally, to be honest.
00:39:48.000 That being said, Donald Trump's threat of terrorists prove a few things.
00:39:52.000 One, like you mentioned, Trudeau is a terrible leader, and I don't even know how he lasted.
00:39:55.000 He made it as long as he did.
00:39:56.000 It's been since 2015.
00:39:57.000 It's almost 10 years.
00:39:58.000 But the other thing is it shows that U.S. presidents have been propping Canada up to the detriment of the American people.
00:40:07.000 Yeah, the United States.
00:40:08.000 If the Canadian government cannot stand without us giving them freebies.
00:40:14.000 Invade.
00:40:14.000 No, I think we don't want Canada.
00:40:17.000 I got some oil up there.
00:40:18.000 North Puerto Rico.
00:40:20.000 I want America's hockey team to be as good as possible.
00:40:23.000 So long as it's a non-voting territory.
00:40:25.000 North Puerto Rico.
00:40:26.000 Exactly.
00:40:27.000 You don't give them the right thing.
00:40:29.000 We need to annex Canada before a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup.
00:40:33.000 How about this?
00:40:33.000 If we do invade Canada, we'll surround its government and isolate it and then not let it be part of the rest of the United States.
00:40:42.000 So we'll just control the territories by conquest.
00:40:44.000 We'll bring it full circle back to the old insurrection when in War of 1812, that's why Washington burned because we were off trying to conquer- I mean look, we almost took Montreal bro.
00:40:54.000 We already control Canada, clearly, because Donald Trump just made their prime minister resign.
00:40:59.000 If tariffs are going to destroy their economy, we already control them.
00:41:05.000 So we don't need to do anything other than use soft power And threats of tariffs or threats of economic pressure to make them comply.
00:41:15.000 There's not enough of them to actually be able to produce enough goods and services to put them in a position where they don't need the United States.
00:41:24.000 They've forever relied on the United States for their defense.
00:41:28.000 The United States is 100% what protects Canada.
00:41:34.000 Even though they're like their own country, they are...
00:41:37.000 Absolutely at the total, you know, they will bend to the United States' will every single time.
00:41:45.000 Like, Justin Trudeau tried to go ahead and stand up to Donald Trump a couple times and make it seem like, you know, he was in charge.
00:41:52.000 He wasn't.
00:41:53.000 He never was.
00:41:55.000 Canada doesn't have the ability to stand up to the United States if the United States really wants something.
00:41:59.000 They will comply.
00:42:01.000 They're already a vassal state.
00:42:03.000 Period.
00:42:04.000 They must also know that a lot of their citizens are probably looking at like, you mean I could be an American?
00:42:09.000 These people have had their guns taken, their freedoms taken.
00:42:11.000 And I think a lot of people like this.
00:42:13.000 That sounds actually great.
00:42:15.000 You know, I'll tell you a funny story.
00:42:16.000 Just make it North Dakota.
00:42:16.000 Just extend North Dakota.
00:42:18.000 I was in, I think I was in Toronto.
00:42:20.000 And a friend of mine who's Canadian was like, did you know that Toronto is the most diverse city in the world?
00:42:27.000 And I was like...
00:42:27.000 More diverse than New York?
00:42:28.000 I was like, really?
00:42:29.000 Is that true?
00:42:29.000 And I looked it up.
00:42:30.000 It's not.
00:42:31.000 And I was like, it's actually majority.
00:42:33.000 But they like to say this.
00:42:35.000 It's like Portland.
00:42:36.000 Because it has more immigrants than any other city or something like that.
00:42:39.000 They're using some twist of reasoning to justify how they're claiming this.
00:42:43.000 And I'm like, actually, it's majority white.
00:42:46.000 And they got really mad at me for saying that.
00:42:48.000 No, it's Quebecois.
00:42:49.000 There's Quebecois there.
00:42:50.000 Very, very white.
00:42:50.000 It's their Martha's Vineyard.
00:42:52.000 But this is the thing about Canada.
00:42:54.000 We can make the argument that Canadians want their guns and their speech and all these things.
00:42:57.000 Look at the trucker protest.
00:42:58.000 But Canada has imported a ton of migrants from all over the world into their cities to create this multicultural place.
00:43:07.000 And now it's dominated by a liberal government that falls the moment Trump says, I'm going to tax you.
00:43:13.000 They live completely and totally at the pleasure of the United States.
00:43:19.000 This is where we're going to.
00:43:21.000 We will be much like the UK and Canada unless things turn around.
00:43:24.000 It's looking like with Donald Trump coming in office, things are going to turn around.
00:43:27.000 But understand, man, it's real simple.
00:43:30.000 I have heard this.
00:43:31.000 I haven't fact-checked it, so correct me if I'm wrong.
00:43:33.000 I don't know if people who are listening want to fact-check this.
00:43:35.000 That during the Biden administration, 15 million people...
00:43:39.000 Came into the United States, which is the largest migration of humans in the history of humanity.
00:43:44.000 Now, you can make the argument it's like only because of population growth that could happen, because when there was only 50 million people, there's no way for a migration that big to happen.
00:43:51.000 But either way, that's crazy if true.
00:43:54.000 I don't know if it's true or not.
00:43:54.000 The point is, you bring people in and promise them free stuff, your government can only be sustained by continually bringing people in and offering them free stuff, which means two generations, your entire country will collapse.
00:44:09.000 Jorge Ventura and I, in March of 2021, right after Biden took over, and literally took the drone up, saw everybody coming in through the gaps in the wall, and then you see them on the ground and you say, hey, you know, why did you come here?
00:44:23.000 And they all said, well, Joe Biden is president.
00:44:25.000 Literally every single one that we talked to said, yes, we knew that now that Trump is out, we can come.
00:44:31.000 And so, you know, I think a lot of the, like, blame gets placed on the people who make that trip.
00:44:38.000 But it's like when you give them an open invitation, then what do you expect?
00:44:43.000 So it's the policies that are creating the problem.
00:44:47.000 Not to mention the amount of human suffering and sexual assaults that take place over the course of that journey from South America.
00:44:53.000 But we met not only over the course of those four years going to the border, you saw the diversity of the migrants change from mostly Central Americans, Hondurans.
00:45:05.000 To then Venezuelans, Colombians.
00:45:06.000 And then the last time I went in October of 23, it was like Afghanis, Ghanaians.
00:45:14.000 They all come over in container ships into Brazil and then they come up through the Darren Gap.
00:45:19.000 And I mean, it was just like everybody from all over the world.
00:45:22.000 And you have no clue.
00:45:24.000 These people drop their IDs at the border.
00:45:26.000 So you have no way of vetting.
00:45:27.000 So I did a quick fact check.
00:45:28.000 And the partition of India was 15 million people migrated between India and Pakistan.
00:45:34.000 So if the number is truly above 15 million, you could argue that it was the largest.
00:45:41.000 There was tens of millions between the 1800s and 1900s.
00:45:44.000 The European migration to the Americas, yeah, but that was over a long period of time.
00:45:48.000 13 million Syrians were displaced but did not migrate to any specific one location.
00:45:53.000 And in World War II, there were massive refugees.
00:45:56.000 But once again, not any one group moving to any one location or entering one location.
00:46:01.000 And so I suppose the argument is better that the large migration would be the partition of India because it was specifically Indian people moving to Pakistan.
00:46:07.000 And then as for the U.S. mass migration, it's largely Central Americans, which is from different areas coming into one place.
00:46:15.000 so if that's the case 15 million if that So the estimates range from 10 to 15 million.
00:46:22.000 It would be one of the largest mass migrations in history.
00:46:26.000 It's possibly one of the largest, but we don't have the exact numbers.
00:46:29.000 Top three.
00:46:29.000 Yeah, potentially.
00:46:30.000 Within the top five is fair to say, but top three perhaps.
00:46:33.000 Yeah.
00:46:35.000 Which is still absolutely insane.
00:46:37.000 And it was all an intentional policy by the left of Democrats.
00:46:41.000 And we saw the border wall.
00:46:42.000 So when we first went down there in March of 2021, we talked to...
00:46:47.000 the border patrol and we're like what's up with the wall and it's just sitting in a parking lot all these unbuilt portions of the wall and they told us the construction crews were paid on their contracts so they were paid to continue working But then Biden said, cease all building of the wall, not another inch.
00:47:04.000 And so they literally were just paid to twiddle their thumbs in their trailers for the extent of their contract.
00:47:09.000 It's just like the most infuriating thing in the world.
00:47:11.000 The slower ebb of migration to our country in the past two decades, right?
00:47:14.000 It was a little lower than this.
00:47:16.000 I mean, a lot lower than this, right?
00:47:18.000 I don't think people really saw it as an issue.
00:47:19.000 They're like, yeah, there's a few more people here.
00:47:21.000 North Carolina had a massive hurricane and FEMA ran out of money.
00:47:26.000 Yeah, and then they said $30 billion for a wall.
00:47:29.000 Wow, that's way too big a price tag.
00:47:31.000 $150 billion.
00:47:33.000 Anytime Democrats say that it costs too much money, it's all BS. The United States prints the dollar if it wants to fund a program.
00:47:44.000 They just print the money.
00:47:46.000 Democrats only care about things when it is functional for them to use as a reason to oppose it.
00:47:56.000 They don't have any principles.
00:47:57.000 They don't care about actually being fiscally responsible.
00:48:00.000 The only time they talk about using about too much money or whatever is if it's a policy they don't like.
00:48:06.000 It's always BS. Yes.
00:48:08.000 Always BS. What was the vote that came out?
00:48:10.000 Democrats, 156 Democrats voted against even getting rid of the...
00:48:15.000 In the UK, too, wasn't it?
00:48:16.000 Like, they had a similar vote.
00:48:17.000 There was a vote to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sexual abuse.
00:48:22.000 And 156 Democrats, I think, said no.
00:48:25.000 Yeah, it's insane.
00:48:27.000 Like, surely we can all agree that is a bad thing, right?
00:48:30.000 What about the whole Me Too movement?
00:48:32.000 Have we moved on from that?
00:48:34.000 They don't care.
00:48:35.000 I believe all women.
00:48:36.000 I'm asking for a modicum of consistency.
00:48:39.000 Don't!
00:48:39.000 They will never be consistent.
00:48:41.000 It is all BS and power for the life.
00:48:43.000 I was watching this movie called Blink Twice.
00:48:45.000 Have you guys heard of it?
00:48:47.000 No.
00:48:47.000 It's a horror movie.
00:48:51.000 When I was hanging out with Allison and we're like, let's watch a movie.
00:48:54.000 We're on Amazon and then we see the description and it's like, strange things are happening on an island.
00:48:59.000 And then I'm just like, instantly I knew it was going to be some weird woke garbage.
00:49:03.000 And then I was like, I don't know if I want to watch this.
00:49:06.000 It's going to be a story about a black woman who's attacked by white guys.
00:49:09.000 And it's not a bad movie, but it does have a couple woke elements in it.
00:49:14.000 If they just didn't do that, it'd have been fine.
00:49:16.000 Like, it doesn't matter.
00:49:19.000 None of that matters.
00:49:20.000 What matters is that at one point in the movie, she screams she can't call the police because...
00:49:26.000 Because the white men won't believe women, and no matter how many times women scream believe women, men won't listen, and these white men would rather play golf with them or some other nonsense.
00:49:35.000 I'm a white man, and I believe all women, so I just debunked that whole thing.
00:49:38.000 Did this happen on an island?
00:49:39.000 It wasn't in England?
00:49:40.000 It wasn't in London?
00:49:41.000 No, it was in the Caribbean.
00:49:44.000 Actually, the movie's a fine idea.
00:49:46.000 It's got Channing Tatum, Christian Slater's in it, and it's basically about...
00:49:51.000 I'm going to spoil them.
00:49:51.000 I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but it's not a bad movie.
00:49:53.000 It's just really annoying when right in the middle, it's like, hey, we have a plot hole.
00:49:57.000 She's being attacked.
00:49:58.000 Why don't you tell the cops?
00:49:59.000 Oh, because the cops are racist and don't believe women.
00:50:02.000 Perfect.
00:50:03.000 Write that in.
00:50:03.000 And then she yells about it.
00:50:04.000 I'm like, ugh.
00:50:06.000 We were talking about this earlier.
00:50:07.000 We miss the suspension of disbelief.
00:50:09.000 We watch movies for this, right?
00:50:11.000 We watch sports.
00:50:11.000 I want to zone out.
00:50:12.000 I want to watch a movie.
00:50:14.000 I want to watch the fights.
00:50:15.000 I can't even do that anymore because there's always something implemented in the middle of it that pulls me back into reality.
00:50:20.000 Like, oh yeah, that's what's going on in the world.
00:50:22.000 I want Bruce Willis.
00:50:23.000 Denzel and Gladiator, though.
00:50:24.000 Denzel and Gladiator.
00:50:26.000 In the new one?
00:50:27.000 It's not a good movie.
00:50:28.000 Gladiator 2?
00:50:28.000 It's not a good movie, but Denzel is...
00:50:30.000 It's funny, because everybody has that pseudo...
00:50:32.000 Are you talking about Gladiator 2?
00:50:33.000 Yeah, Gladiator 2. Everyone has that pseudo-accent.
00:50:36.000 Like, oh yes, we are in the Roman Empire right now.
00:50:39.000 And then Denzel's just like, okay.
00:50:42.000 It's so funny.
00:50:44.000 You guys want to fight with some sword?
00:50:45.000 I'm fine with that.
00:50:46.000 I'm fine with that.
00:50:47.000 I want to see Bruce Willis duct tape a gun to his back and then scream YPK. None of it makes sense.
00:50:53.000 But I don't care.
00:50:55.000 We're here to have fun.
00:50:55.000 Well, that was like Maverick, right?
00:50:57.000 Like, it was the Top Gun movie with Maverick.
00:50:59.000 Like, there wasn't a whole lot of substance.
00:51:01.000 It was just awesome Americana.
00:51:03.000 And it did really, really well.
00:51:05.000 Right.
00:51:05.000 It did Star Wars.
00:51:06.000 Yeah.
00:51:06.000 People liked it.
00:51:07.000 But they should have made it the bad guy.
00:51:09.000 I don't understand why they were, like, the enemy, you know?
00:51:11.000 They didn't want to say the Russians or the Chinese or anything like that.
00:51:14.000 I'm like, who cares?
00:51:14.000 We do it all the time.
00:51:15.000 If you get banned in China, then you lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:51:19.000 That's why they didn't do it, because they were like, we want to market in Russia.
00:51:21.000 Are you ready for this Quentin Tarantino tangent right here?
00:51:25.000 Sure.
00:51:25.000 Okay.
00:51:26.000 So, Once Upon a Time in Tibet was the first movie to get really banned in China.
00:51:30.000 That big, big money movie that lost hundreds of millions of dollars by getting banned in China.
00:51:35.000 It was like 97. Brad Pitt was the star of that movie.
00:51:38.000 Seven years in Tibet.
00:51:38.000 Seven years in Tibet.
00:51:39.000 Is that what I said?
00:51:40.000 Yes.
00:51:40.000 You said Once Upon a Time in Tibet.
00:51:41.000 Oh, sorry.
00:51:42.000 Seven years in Tibet.
00:51:43.000 Yes.
00:51:43.000 And Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Brad Pitt is the stuntman who beats the crap out of Bruce Lee.
00:51:51.000 Yes.
00:51:51.000 And Quentin Tarantino knew that that was going to get banned in Hollywood.
00:51:55.000 In China.
00:51:57.000 And he did it anyways.
00:51:58.000 He used Brad Pitt for that specific reason.
00:52:01.000 Oh, very funny.
00:52:02.000 Alright, ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:03.000 Let's jump to this next story from the post-millennial breaking.
00:52:07.000 Donald Trump Jr. travels to Greenland as President Trump continues to explore U.S. ownership of the territory.
00:52:13.000 It's happening, dude.
00:52:13.000 Look at this.
00:52:15.000 Greenland leader calls for independence from Denmark as Trump enters.
00:52:20.000 Greenland...
00:52:20.000 They added sled teams, though.
00:52:22.000 Denmark said they were bolstering their sled dogs.
00:52:24.000 And they changed their coat of arms to put...
00:52:26.000 No joke, dude.
00:52:27.000 They said that.
00:52:28.000 They're like, we are sending two more sled teams to bolster the security.
00:52:32.000 It's over.
00:52:33.000 Dude, that place is the size of...
00:52:35.000 Greenland is ours.
00:52:36.000 Two sled teams to cover Greenland.
00:52:39.000 We are taking this very seriously.
00:52:41.000 It's very difficult to get to Greenland, okay?
00:52:44.000 The flights exist.
00:52:45.000 It's possible you can go there.
00:52:47.000 There's a very small population.
00:52:49.000 They're not, like, I gotta be honest.
00:52:51.000 You got this beautiful Chad, United States, or this virgin Denmark, and this buxom Greenland.
00:52:58.000 Who are they gonna pick?
00:52:59.000 I mean, come on.
00:53:00.000 Let's just play it this way.
00:53:02.000 You're young, and you, Sugar Mama or Sugar Daddy?
00:53:05.000 And one, it's a small, you know, I don't know, Baltic nation.
00:53:11.000 They're okay.
00:53:12.000 I mean, it's got its wealth and everything.
00:53:13.000 And then there's the United States, the wealthiest nation on the planet.
00:53:16.000 The richest person you know is being like, nah, dump that person.
00:53:18.000 Come with me.
00:53:19.000 It's like a job offer.
00:53:20.000 He's going to put Trump Tower there, too.
00:53:22.000 Remember he tweeted that?
00:53:24.000 Yeah.
00:53:25.000 I wanted to have him.
00:53:26.000 As an aside, the United States acquired the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, and it was $25 million in gold coin.
00:53:34.000 Wow.
00:53:35.000 It was what they cost.
00:53:36.000 So I don't know what...
00:53:38.000 You know, if it's significantly more for Greenland, but I think the U.S. should.
00:53:44.000 I think that's how much Epstein paid for a little St. James there.
00:53:47.000 The reason that the U.S. Virgin Islands were actually good for the U.S. is because they're strategic.
00:53:55.000 They allowed the U.S. to have naval bases to help defend the Panama Canal and etc.
00:54:01.000 So they were valuable too, even though they didn't have the same kind of resources.
00:54:05.000 I mean, it's tremendously valuable for the United States.
00:54:09.000 I mean, it's extremely strategic.
00:54:13.000 It puts us very close to Iceland, to Northern Europe, to Russia, the Arctic Circle, all that stuff.
00:54:20.000 And right now, what is Denmark really doing?
00:54:23.000 Buy it.
00:54:23.000 We need it.
00:54:24.000 Let's take it.
00:54:25.000 Let's take those sled dogs down.
00:54:28.000 Population as of...
00:54:29.000 2022 is 56,000.
00:54:31.000 You can send Christy Noem.
00:54:33.000 Call the Federal Reserve.
00:54:35.000 Tell them to print up the money.
00:54:36.000 We need it.
00:54:36.000 Buy it.
00:54:37.000 No old yeller on there.
00:54:38.000 What does Denmark do if Greenland votes for independence and then votes to join the United States as a territory?
00:54:46.000 They speed skate right over there and they try to secure everything they can.
00:54:49.000 They do nothing.
00:54:49.000 They do nothing at all.
00:54:51.000 Because the United States is the muscle of NATO. Oh, they make some more chocolate.
00:54:56.000 Just like Canada, they do nothing.
00:55:00.000 The United States makes moves and other countries respond.
00:55:04.000 When you have a president like Trump, when you have a strong United States, the United States does what it wants, and it doesn't have to be dropping bombs or military.
00:55:15.000 It can just be like, this is what we're going to do, here's how we're going to do it, and other countries are going to comply.
00:55:20.000 I actually like this idea because there are a lot of countries I will not go to because they will arrest me for things I've said on Twitter.
00:55:27.000 Yeah, like the UK? Uh-huh.
00:55:28.000 I like the idea of being able to go to an island I've been to before and then hang out and not get arrested for mean tweets.
00:55:34.000 Yeah, I mean, the UK is once again threatening to extradite American citizens for saying naughty things.
00:55:41.000 I'm done.
00:55:42.000 What was the story?
00:55:43.000 There was a kid who got a four-year sentence for...
00:55:45.000 What did he do?
00:55:47.000 It was mean tweets.
00:55:48.000 Yeah, they've thrown a bunch of people in jail for mean tweets.
00:55:50.000 Maybe we should annex Ireland.
00:55:52.000 I'm a Mick Guinness.
00:55:53.000 I don't.
00:55:54.000 No?
00:55:55.000 You don't want Ireland?
00:55:56.000 No.
00:55:56.000 No?
00:55:57.000 There's nothing good in Ireland.
00:55:58.000 The Irish can't even get along.
00:56:00.000 There's some surf up there.
00:56:01.000 It's a beautiful place.
00:56:04.000 No.
00:56:04.000 They put peat in all their scotch.
00:56:06.000 No, thank you.
00:56:07.000 Dude, you're talking to a Mick Guinness here.
00:56:09.000 What?
00:56:10.000 Peat.
00:56:10.000 Peat.
00:56:10.000 Peat, yes.
00:56:11.000 Well, I mean, Highlands don't.
00:56:13.000 Lowlands, not so much.
00:56:15.000 Islay is very much so peated.
00:56:17.000 Wait a second.
00:56:17.000 Mr. Pro America over here has Japanese whiskey.
00:56:20.000 Because it's better.
00:56:21.000 Because it's better.
00:56:22.000 If it's good, it's good.
00:56:23.000 Wait, whose whiskey is that?
00:56:24.000 Never mind.
00:56:26.000 That's mine.
00:56:27.000 Oh.
00:56:27.000 Always bring a bottle.
00:56:29.000 It's imported.
00:56:31.000 That was always allowed.
00:56:33.000 Nook?
00:56:34.000 Is that how you say it?
00:56:35.000 The largest city in Greenland?
00:56:39.000 List of cities and towns in Greenland.
00:56:41.000 It's ours now.
00:56:42.000 We gotta have it.
00:56:42.000 It looks beautiful.
00:56:43.000 We can rename it.
00:56:44.000 Look up the sled dog headquarters.
00:56:46.000 Where's that?
00:56:46.000 Oh, look at that.
00:56:47.000 They got the Aurora Borealis.
00:56:49.000 We need it.
00:56:51.000 This city's Laura.
00:56:52.000 This one's Eric Jr. I went to Utqiagvik in 2023. That was fun.
00:56:57.000 Where's that?
00:56:58.000 You see, here's a funny thing.
00:56:59.000 And this is a good story for all yous.
00:57:00.000 We talked about the story when we came back for the year.
00:57:02.000 But it used to be called Barrow, Alaska.
00:57:06.000 Barrow.
00:57:07.000 Back when the Americans settled it, there were a bunch of people already there.
00:57:10.000 But those people largely didn't really care.
00:57:12.000 You live on the ice.
00:57:14.000 You hunt whale.
00:57:15.000 There's no trees.
00:57:16.000 Because it's in the Arctic Circle and everything's just frozen mud.
00:57:19.000 And so it gets, I don't know exactly the history, but it gets named Barrow.
00:57:24.000 The United States gets Alaska.
00:57:25.000 They say this is Barrow.
00:57:26.000 It's the northernmost point in the United States.
00:57:27.000 There was a vote to change the name to its original Utgyakvik.
00:57:32.000 That's what the natives referred to it as.
00:57:35.000 And most people there, at least this is what I was told, they were fine with the name Barrow.
00:57:42.000 But a handful of activists went and voted and nobody else did.
00:57:45.000 So the name is now Utgyakvik.
00:57:47.000 Even though if you go there, locals say Barrow.
00:57:50.000 That's how insane it is.
00:57:51.000 People need to go out and vote.
00:57:53.000 That's what's really annoying.
00:57:54.000 I'm glad to see that people actually voted for Donald Trump.
00:57:56.000 Activists are the worst.
00:57:57.000 Yeah, well, I mean, look.
00:57:58.000 They win because they're active.
00:58:00.000 Mists.
00:58:01.000 That's right.
00:58:02.000 They're awful people.
00:58:04.000 They are.
00:58:04.000 So what are we going for in Greenland?
00:58:06.000 We're going for oil?
00:58:07.000 Just take it.
00:58:09.000 I'll figure it out later in post.
00:58:11.000 Yeah.
00:58:11.000 I'm sure there's a bunch of things that are worth having.
00:58:16.000 We need it.
00:58:17.000 We need those two sled dog teams.
00:58:20.000 Isn't Greenland, isn't that where they have a lot of geothermal stuff?
00:58:25.000 I'm assuming.
00:58:26.000 Or is it Iceland that I'm talking about?
00:58:27.000 Iceland has the black sand beaches.
00:58:28.000 That's Iceland.
00:58:29.000 Greenland's hot springs.
00:58:31.000 Greenland's 2020 estimated nominal GDP is $3 billion.
00:58:40.000 That's pretty small.
00:58:41.000 Donald Trump himself can buy it.
00:58:43.000 Per capita?
00:58:43.000 That's not bad.
00:58:44.000 We might be able to save Ukraine with that money.
00:58:46.000 $54,000 per capita.
00:58:49.000 That's GDP. We need it by...
00:58:50.000 If it does have any kind of geothermal activity, you can just set up a whole bunch of Bitcoin mines.
00:58:58.000 There you go, I guess.
00:59:00.000 I think it's actually pretty likely.
00:59:02.000 I mean, I don't think Trump Jr. is going there.
00:59:04.000 He's set to visit Greenland on Tuesday.
00:59:07.000 After Trump expressed interest in exploring the possibility of U.S. ownership, yo, Denmark's got nothing.
00:59:13.000 Is it a state then?
00:59:14.000 Or do we just Guam it up?
00:59:15.000 Territory.
00:59:16.000 If the U.S. goes to Greenland and says, look, we'll provide you with a billion dollar loan guaranteed once a year, they're going to be like, done.
00:59:22.000 Yep.
00:59:23.000 Development, research, exploration, jobs, they're going to be like, okay.
00:59:26.000 Yep.
00:59:27.000 We need it.
00:59:27.000 Denmark's going to be like, but we'll give you speed skating teams.
00:59:31.000 Denmark's not going to do anything.
00:59:32.000 They're going to be like, give us back Lars Ulrich and we're going to say, take him.
00:59:38.000 He's not even the best drummer in Metallica.
00:59:40.000 And then we're going to be like, is that it?
00:59:42.000 They're going to be like, we still want Greenland back.
00:59:44.000 We're not talking about Greenland right now.
00:59:46.000 That is off the table.
00:59:49.000 Greenland is America now.
00:59:51.000 Actually, I think more likely the U.S. is going to be like, we won't give you Greenland, but we'll give you Lars.
00:59:55.000 And they're going to be like, how dare you?
00:59:57.000 We refuse!
00:59:58.000 They're going to say, give us James.
00:59:59.000 He's better at drums than Lars is.
01:00:01.000 He can drum in 3-4 and 4-4, 6-8 sometimes, 7-4, out of the question.
01:00:07.000 Unbelievable.
01:00:07.000 How dare you.
01:00:09.000 Trump posted, I am hearing the people of Greenland, our MAGA, my son Don Jr., and various reps, will be traveling there to visit some of the most magnificent areas and sites.
01:00:17.000 Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if and when it becomes part of our nation.
01:00:22.000 We will protect it and cherish it from a very vicious outside world.
01:00:27.000 Holy crap.
01:00:28.000 It's ours now.
01:00:30.000 Already ours.
01:00:31.000 And that will give us a staging point, a beachhead, for our invasion of Alaska, I'm sorry, of Canada.
01:00:38.000 Wait a minute.
01:00:38.000 What if we turn it into Australia?
01:00:41.000 The new prison state.
01:00:42.000 We just send everyone there.
01:00:43.000 We take the green people out.
01:00:45.000 We bring them in here.
01:00:46.000 Good job, green people.
01:00:47.000 Green people.
01:00:48.000 That's what we're going to call them now.
01:00:49.000 Greenlandians.
01:00:50.000 And we send the 15 million to Greenland.
01:00:52.000 Build a wall around it.
01:00:54.000 Australia Part 2. Escape from Greenland.
01:00:59.000 Solves a lot of problems.
01:01:00.000 I mean, look, I've been advocating for the island for some time.
01:01:03.000 The island of Greenland.
01:01:04.000 We sent them to Mexico, to Haiti, to Cuba, where they came from.
01:01:06.000 They're going to come right back over.
01:01:07.000 Greenland, they're not making that trek.
01:01:09.000 Well, I've been saying that instead of the death penalty, just create an island and put people there and say, we're not going to kill you because killing is wrong, but we hereby agree not to be responsible for you anymore, so you go to the island.
01:01:20.000 So you shut down Gitmo, and then you just make all of Greenland.
01:01:24.000 I feel like Greenland is worth more than that.
01:01:29.000 Does it have oil?
01:01:30.000 We still haven't really determined what Greenland, what it has.
01:01:33.000 It has geothermal activity.
01:01:37.000 Mining Bitcoin, man.
01:01:39.000 Greenland is believed to have significant oil and gas reserves.
01:01:41.000 Boom!
01:01:42.000 Particularly offshore.
01:01:43.000 There you go.
01:01:44.000 Well, we can't do that because Biden...
01:01:46.000 We need to be reliant.
01:01:48.000 We need to be reliant on Saudi Arabian...
01:01:50.000 In case you didn't know, he died months ago.
01:01:53.000 That is just a corpse that they are wheeling around.
01:01:57.000 Someone said that Biden released a statement.
01:02:00.000 I was like, Biden didn't release a statement.
01:02:02.000 He said goddammit today.
01:02:03.000 I heard that.
01:02:04.000 So I went to Iceland a couple years ago.
01:02:06.000 He's in prime form.
01:02:07.000 Iceland was very poor until they discovered, developed, invented geothermal energy.
01:02:14.000 Now they have access to large amounts of energy because they tap geothermal.
01:02:20.000 Now there's greenhouses, they're growing plants, and they're decently well off in Iceland.
01:02:25.000 Greenland has untapped geothermal reserves and oil.
01:02:28.000 And Denmark ain't doing nothing for these people.
01:02:31.000 If the U.S. sends in industry and they build geothermal plants, the standard of living for people in Greenland is going to skyrocket.
01:02:39.000 We don't even need to offer them money.
01:02:41.000 We're going to say, no, we're not going to do anything.
01:02:42.000 We're going to send in the oil companies, and then you're all going to be rich.
01:02:44.000 Just don't let Dick Cheney get involved.
01:02:45.000 Bitcoin's over $100,000 again.
01:02:47.000 Would this be a workaround, though?
01:02:49.000 Because I know Biden didn't put that in.
01:02:50.000 They said he had to actually get it approved through Congress to bypass what Biden did.
01:02:54.000 If Greenland is just a territory, would that bypass his last order?
01:02:58.000 Then you can drill.
01:03:00.000 Anything of Biden's executive orders, they can all be rescinded as soon as Trump goes in.
01:03:06.000 I thought it had to pass in Congress.
01:03:08.000 If I understand correctly, if it's an executive order, then the incoming president can make an executive order to undo it.
01:03:14.000 And that's why executive orders are actually a bad idea.
01:03:19.000 You want to get legislation passed by Congress.
01:03:22.000 They're not a bad idea.
01:03:24.000 You want to get massive omnibus bills.
01:03:27.000 Yeah.
01:03:27.000 We can train, I don't know, Afghan women how to do backflips with a beach ball.
01:03:35.000 What?
01:03:36.000 On their head.
01:03:37.000 Yeah.
01:03:37.000 $35 million.
01:03:41.000 Is that actually in one of the on the bus?
01:03:44.000 There was something ridiculous.
01:03:45.000 Maybe it wasn't a beach ball.
01:03:46.000 Always something ridiculous.
01:03:47.000 Maybe it was some variation of that.
01:03:50.000 Always.
01:03:51.000 Don't fact check me out there.
01:03:52.000 You actually sold that.
01:03:53.000 You did sell it.
01:03:54.000 I was all right.
01:03:55.000 But yeah, I think that the executive orders, they can just be rescinded by the incoming administration.
01:04:02.000 That was my understanding.
01:04:03.000 I heard some pundit talking about I had to go through Congress for this.
01:04:06.000 And again, it's Twitter, so...
01:04:09.000 It's the internet.
01:04:12.000 You know it's true.
01:04:13.000 I read it on the internet.
01:04:15.000 No.
01:04:16.000 We got this...
01:04:17.000 Let's pull up this story I just saw as breaking news.
01:04:21.000 From CNBC, shares of Tencent fall over 5% in Hong Kong after U.S. designates it as a Chinese military company.
01:04:30.000 Did the U.S. just do that?
01:04:33.000 Designating Tencent?
01:04:34.000 So, uh, doesn't Tencent own Discord?
01:04:39.000 Or do they own, like, a portion of it or something?
01:04:42.000 I don't even know what Tencent is.
01:04:44.000 Tencent is the largest video game vendor.
01:04:46.000 Oh.
01:04:46.000 Yeah.
01:04:47.000 This is crazy news.
01:04:49.000 I don't know that I know enough about Tencent to actually properly comment on this, but I didn't realize the U.S. had declared it a Chinese military company.
01:04:59.000 That's crazy.
01:05:00.000 So it has WeChat.
01:05:02.000 Tencent is best known for its messaging services such as Wexen and WeChat.
01:05:06.000 So, I mean...
01:05:08.000 I don't know much about, obviously don't know much about Tencent, but I mean, if it's involved in these types of technologies, then it makes perfect sense that it would be a military contractor, you know?
01:05:21.000 What's going to happen with TikTok?
01:05:24.000 That's what I was thinking too, because now Trump doesn't want to ban it just because he thinks it helped him, but I think that's silly, that's stupid.
01:05:30.000 I think TikTok should get nuked.
01:05:31.000 A lot of Mac influencers are heavily invested with their clicks, likes, and revenue streams through TikTok.
01:05:36.000 So here we go.
01:05:37.000 Tencent has a majority stake in Riot Games.
01:05:40.000 It's got a 40% stake in Epic Games.
01:05:43.000 It's got a minority stake in Activision Blizzard.
01:05:46.000 It owns 12% of Snap, Snapchat.
01:05:49.000 It's got a 5% stake of Tesla.
01:05:52.000 It's got a 15% stake in Glue.
01:05:54.000 I don't know what that is.
01:05:55.000 It participated in a funding round for Discord.
01:05:57.000 I don't know how much it means.
01:05:58.000 And it raised $300 million in funding.
01:06:01.000 Reddit got $300 million in funding from around...
01:06:04.000 Okay, Tencent.
01:06:04.000 Okay, weird strangely.
01:06:06.000 Tencent gave $150 million to Reddit, according to Royer's and The Verge.
01:06:12.000 And here we go.
01:06:13.000 We actually have the story from The Verge.
01:06:15.000 This is pretty nuts.
01:06:16.000 Yo, this could affect Tesla.
01:06:19.000 Let's talk about that TikTok ban, right?
01:06:22.000 When they said that you can't have ownership, this would force Tesla to divest.
01:06:28.000 This is what people were warning about the TikTok ban.
01:06:32.000 That if we say any company with ownership from these adversarial countries would have to divest, this would put Tesla, Riot, Epic, Snapchat, Activision, Discord, Reddit, all in this position where they would have to find new investors and sell the stake.
01:06:48.000 That's pretty crazy.
01:06:49.000 Look at this.
01:06:50.000 U.S. designates Tencent and CATL as Chinese military companies.
01:06:54.000 This is just reported today.
01:06:56.000 Yo, that's pretty wild.
01:06:57.000 What do you guys think?
01:06:58.000 Should we ban TikTok?
01:07:01.000 No.
01:07:02.000 Put it in Greenland.
01:07:04.000 No.
01:07:06.000 It's cold there.
01:07:07.000 It'd be good for the servers.
01:07:07.000 Well, TikTok is the only social media that the CIA and intel agencies don't have a backdoor into, right?
01:07:13.000 This is China-owned?
01:07:14.000 No, it's just Chinese.
01:07:15.000 The CCP has a backdoor into.
01:07:17.000 I know, but I mean...
01:07:19.000 I don't know.
01:07:20.000 I think that the United States...
01:07:22.000 I'm not saying that we should ban TikTok, although I probably could be convinced that it's not a bad idea.
01:07:28.000 But the United States does need to look at the CCP as a serious threat.
01:07:34.000 There was just yesterday I saw on the news that there's a Chinese person that was arrested for acting as police.
01:07:45.000 Policing other Chinese people in the United States.
01:07:48.000 That's happened in Canada.
01:07:51.000 I think it was in San Francisco.
01:07:53.000 They had some of that kind of stuff happening in Boston.
01:07:56.000 The whole balloon flying over the U.S. and the U.S. did nothing about it.
01:08:00.000 I think at least the Biden administration, for sure, has been entirely toothless when it comes to China, and I think that the U.S. really needs to take a long, hard look at the policies towards China.
01:08:13.000 Might have been some financial incentives there.
01:08:15.000 I mean, I think that's likely, but I do think that the U.S., there's a serious threat from China as a, you know, I mean, they're an upcoming global power, a rising global power.
01:08:26.000 You know, someone super chatted, Hal Gailey super chatted, under 18, no algorithmic feeds now.
01:08:30.000 You gotta go more than that.
01:08:31.000 I think there is a real simple solution to a lot of these issues, and it's to treat social media the same as we already treat real life.
01:08:40.000 By all means, go out into the street.
01:08:42.000 Stuff the nerds in the lockers.
01:08:43.000 If you go out in public and hold up a big sign of graphic adult material, you're gonna get arrested.
01:08:50.000 It's illegal.
01:08:52.000 But if you go on X and do it, they allow it.
01:08:55.000 And there's kids on the platform.
01:08:57.000 So either you're going to ban anyone under 18 from using any social media, and the only thing they can get is a curated feed from Netflix, YouTube, or whatever, Disney +, or you arrest people when they post these things publicly.
01:09:10.000 Well, they had YouTube kids, right?
01:09:12.000 And that didn't turn out great.
01:09:13.000 There was a lot of CP that was on that as well.
01:09:17.000 Roblox, it's inundated with that.
01:09:20.000 I mean, evil will persist regardless of what parameters you set.
01:09:24.000 And how much you want to limit their functionality.
01:09:27.000 Florida, Louisiana, Texas, it's a handful of states that have now made it, you have to show your ID if you want to go on adult websites.
01:09:34.000 You have to register with the state.
01:09:35.000 Do I think that's a good solution?
01:09:37.000 I don't want kids to have access to those things, but should you have to register with the state to access an adult energy site as a consenting adult?
01:09:45.000 I don't know.
01:09:46.000 I always struggle with how much power I want to give the government to regulate what I can and can't do as a free citizen.
01:09:53.000 I mean, the whole libertarian take of, you know, the government shouldn't be doing this, shouldn't be doing that.
01:09:59.000 Like, in principle, I agree.
01:10:01.000 But if the power exists to be involved in these things, then the left's going to take it if the right doesn't.
01:10:10.000 Yes.
01:10:10.000 So I think finding the companies that are not setting up, specifically for adult websites, they should have their own 2FA system where they're checking for VPNs, they're making sure that it actually is an adult that is registering these things.
01:10:24.000 I think you put it in comment upon the companies that they want to be in business of this.
01:10:28.000 It is one of the largest, most profitable industries.
01:10:30.000 They can find some way to navigate this to make sure kids aren't getting on here.
01:10:34.000 Make it in comment upon them.
01:10:36.000 Don't get the state involved.
01:10:37.000 Yeah, I don't mind that.
01:10:38.000 You know, like I said, I just think that as long as there's...
01:10:42.000 There is a power that is assumed the government has.
01:10:46.000 If the right doesn't utilize it, then the left will.
01:10:48.000 I think that the government...
01:10:49.000 I would love to see more people assume...
01:10:52.000 It's not like a death spiral argument, though?
01:10:53.000 Yeah, it is.
01:10:55.000 We're already way down the slippery slope, man.
01:10:58.000 It's not like...
01:10:59.000 If you get rid of the Commerce Clause and you get rid of the Necessary and Proper Clause, then you'd have a different argument or different discussion.
01:11:08.000 Instead of buying Greenland, we just sell California.
01:11:10.000 The slippery slope moves...
01:11:11.000 In every direction.
01:11:13.000 Yeah.
01:11:13.000 There is nowhere to stand.
01:11:15.000 So when, you know, I'm tired of this argument where it's like, yeah, but if we, you know, if we censor, if we declare this thing to be illegal, the left will declare our thing illegal, and it's like, when you don't enforce your way of life, you end up with these graphic adult books in children's schools for six, ten-year-olds getting these graphic adult content.
01:11:37.000 And then when we complain about it, they lie.
01:11:39.000 And we are then forced into a political battle to try and pull the window back the other direction.
01:11:45.000 And the argument then is, but if you go too far, the slippery slope, now they're saying that Obergefell, gay marriage, will likely be overturned because the liberals are challenging it.
01:11:55.000 The argument is, and I don't know how likely this is, you're going to get some clerk in a conservative state who's going to refuse to sign a gay marriage certificate.
01:12:03.000 They're going to sue and lose or win.
01:12:05.000 It's going to get appealed to the Supreme Court.
01:12:07.000 The Supreme Court's going to say, we don't see why this is an issue for the federal government like Roe v.
01:12:11.000 Wade.
01:12:11.000 We think it should go back to the States.
01:12:13.000 Have a nice day.
01:12:14.000 Well, Obergefell just says that they have to recognize marriage licenses, correct?
01:12:18.000 Yeah.
01:12:20.000 But isn't there a precedent that they have to recognize driver's license?
01:12:26.000 I don't know.
01:12:28.000 I have no idea.
01:12:30.000 I don't think it matters.
01:12:31.000 The argument is they're going to say, why is the federal government involved in whether or not a state wants to recognize or not recognize a marriage?
01:12:37.000 Well, then the same argument could be made about driver's license.
01:12:39.000 Why is it that California must recognize New Hampshire's driver's license?
01:12:44.000 Because those are a function of economics and infrastructure.
01:12:47.000 And marriage is a question of tax code, blah, blah, blah.
01:12:52.000 The federal government can choose to recognize that, but there's another issue.
01:12:57.000 The argument, like, there's no correlation between a driver's license and a marriage license.
01:13:01.000 It's a license.
01:13:02.000 So what?
01:13:05.000 So the argument that would be...
01:13:07.000 Driving a car is operating heavy machinery and marriage is tax code.
01:13:14.000 That's the argument that's going to be presented to the Supreme Court, though.
01:13:17.000 If you go to the Supreme Court, they're going to say, well, how come you will recognize...
01:13:24.000 And the reason I say this is because there's an argument about...
01:13:28.000 Firearms permits.
01:13:29.000 How come the U.S.? This is exactly what I was thinking.
01:13:31.000 Because there's a Second Amendment.
01:13:32.000 You should recognize my CWP when I come to your state.
01:13:34.000 Exactly.
01:13:35.000 The point is...
01:13:35.000 No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:37.000 Any requirement of a permit is an infringement on our rights, period.
01:13:40.000 And the Supreme Court is derelict.
01:13:42.000 And when Kavanaugh said, you can require permits...
01:13:46.000 No, that's an infringement.
01:13:47.000 Telling me I have to get permission from the government for my right is an infringement.
01:13:51.000 Yeah.
01:13:51.000 So there's no argument there.
01:13:53.000 No, you're not going to have me saying that it shouldn't be nationwide constitutional carry.
01:14:03.000 That's what I think it should be.
01:14:04.000 But the arguments will be made to the Supreme Court.
01:14:09.000 Sure.
01:14:10.000 And the point is, the argument being made right now is that the Supreme Court is going to respond much like they did Roe v.
01:14:16.000 Wade and say, this issue is not operating heavy machinery.
01:14:20.000 It has nothing to do with permitted use of a large device which can kill people.
01:14:24.000 It's a question of whether or not we apply tax code to two same-sex individuals.
01:14:29.000 That is not a question for the federal government unless Congress passes a law about recognition or blah, blah, blah.
01:14:34.000 Or a constitutional amendment.
01:14:36.000 Yeah, constitutional amendment.
01:14:37.000 So the questions that were brought up in Obergefell were, does the 14th Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex, one?
01:14:44.000 And two, does the 14th Amendment require a state to recognize marriage between two people of the same sex that was legally licensed and performed in another state?
01:14:53.000 So it's a licensing question.
01:14:54.000 No, it isn't.
01:14:55.000 That's literally what it just said.
01:14:57.000 I know, but you're conflating licensing with specific things.
01:15:02.000 A lot of things get licenses.
01:15:03.000 You have a license to fish.
01:15:05.000 My fishing license in Illinois is not recognized in Indiana.
01:15:08.000 The argument...
01:15:09.000 Just saying it's a license is not the point.
01:15:11.000 The point that I'm making is this was a licensing question.
01:15:15.000 Yes.
01:15:16.000 One of the arguments in Obergefell was about licensing.
01:15:20.000 It doesn't matter.
01:15:21.000 Because the question is going to be, to the Supreme Court, should the federal government be involved in whether or not a state will recognize a marriage?
01:15:28.000 And the argument can be made, the Supreme Court will simply respond the same way as Roe v.
01:15:31.000 Wade and say it's not a role of the federal government.
01:15:34.000 Or of the Supreme Court.
01:15:36.000 Are all the states required to recognize the license?
01:15:41.000 I understand that.
01:15:42.000 And the Supreme Court will say that it's not a question for the Supreme Court.
01:15:48.000 I think they can say that or the other.
01:15:51.000 It could go out any way.
01:15:52.000 The point is, we have a conservative Supreme Court that has already said Roe v.
01:15:56.000 Wade was not a question for the Supreme Court.
01:15:58.000 The states should decide.
01:15:59.000 And then when they come out and say the federal government should recognize licenses interstate because they're marriages, they might say, no, that's not a question for the Supreme Court.
01:16:06.000 Ask Congress.
01:16:08.000 Maybe.
01:16:09.000 I think the argument that the...
01:16:11.000 I mean, I can't predict what the Supreme Court's going to say, but I do think that the argument about licensing, the argument's going to be, well...
01:16:19.000 We do that with driver's licenses.
01:16:20.000 We don't do that with fishing licenses.
01:16:22.000 Fishing licenses aren't the same thing as driver's licenses.
01:16:24.000 And driver's licenses aren't the same thing as marriage licenses.
01:16:26.000 You're complaining things that don't make sense being correlated.
01:16:31.000 Okay.
01:16:32.000 A gun license is not a driver's license.
01:16:34.000 A driver's license is not a marriage license.
01:16:36.000 A marriage license is not a fishing license.
01:16:37.000 A hunting license is not a fishing license.
01:16:39.000 These things don't work intrastate.
01:16:41.000 If you bring a licensing question to the government, to the Supreme Court, they're going to try to, whether it be a fishing license or a gun license, the most obvious argument that they're going to make is they're going to say it's a licensing question.
01:16:56.000 And the point is...
01:16:57.000 You have an argument as to why you think it may be, and it's immaterial to the fact.
01:17:00.000 The Supreme Court may say, licensing is all different.
01:17:04.000 We're not going to answer a question over whether...
01:17:06.000 In fact, I think from your point of view, the argument stands.
01:17:10.000 They would overturn Obergefell under the guise of, if we're going to answer this question that all licensing from the state must be recognized by other states, that means all gun permits are hereby legal in every state, all fishing licenses are hereby legal, all hunting licenses, all licenses to paint your home, all...
01:17:26.000 Licenses to – permits to build a property?
01:17:28.000 We're not going to answer that.
01:17:29.000 That's a ridiculous can of worms.
01:17:31.000 Yeah, a lawyer.
01:17:32.000 It means every lawyer can operate in every single state, but laws are different.
01:17:36.000 They're going to say no.
01:17:37.000 States must determine within their own jurisdiction what they license and what they don't, and Congress will have to determine otherwise.
01:17:45.000 So if – I don't know where we're at with Congress.
01:17:47.000 The point is the slippery slope goes in every direction.
01:17:50.000 I think what we're – coming together, I think they would – Take that route.
01:17:55.000 Kick it back down to the States.
01:17:56.000 It's kind of a Pontius Pilate washing the hands.
01:17:58.000 You guys figure this out.
01:17:59.000 I'm not getting involved.
01:18:00.000 I think what Phil is arguing is that if they do take this on the arguments that were the original arguments for this, is that if it is a licensing issue, then all licenses should be accepted everywhere.
01:18:11.000 Which is an insane argument.
01:18:12.000 Exactly.
01:18:13.000 So I do think it will err on the side of where you're landing.
01:18:16.000 It's going to be that.
01:18:17.000 But the argument that the license should be recognized everywhere, I should be able to accept my gun everywhere.
01:18:22.000 Right.
01:18:23.000 So for the issue of driver's licenses, this is the point about the slippery slope going in every direction.
01:18:31.000 People say we have to let the left say whatever they want because if we ban what they're saying, they'll ban what we're saying.
01:18:37.000 And it's like, okay, well, they've been banning what we're saying.
01:18:39.000 They keep doing it.
01:18:40.000 And then what happens is they operate under that Karl Popper meme of if you tolerate intolerance, intolerance wins.
01:18:47.000 Therefore, we're going to ban everybody we hate.
01:18:49.000 And then we keep going, well, we're going to let them keep doing these things, advocating for psychotic, deranged ideology that puts children in harm's way.
01:18:57.000 Here's a slippery slope.
01:18:58.000 When you defend the free speech of the left, you get graphic adult books in grade schools.
01:19:04.000 That's the slippery slope.
01:19:06.000 So the dissenting argument in Obergefell is exactly what you were saying.
01:19:10.000 Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote a dissent in which he argued that while same-sex marriage might be a good and fair policy, the Constitution does not address it, and therefore it's beyond the purview of the court to decide whether states have to recognize or license such unions.
01:19:23.000 And what was the makeup of the court when Obergefell was passed?
01:19:26.000 Five to four liberal?
01:19:28.000 Yeah, it was five to four liberal.
01:19:30.000 No, it was 2016, I think, wasn't it?
01:19:32.000 2014?
01:19:32.000 Let me see one second.
01:19:34.000 It was...
01:19:36.000 Where's the date?
01:19:36.000 Where's the date?
01:19:37.000 2015, January 16th.
01:19:39.000 Holy cow.
01:19:40.000 And now we have a 6-3 conservative court that may go 5-4, but...
01:19:45.000 I believe that – I think we have a very strong possibility that there's going to be some – a gay couple is going to file in Arkansas.
01:19:53.000 Clerk's going to say no.
01:19:54.000 They're going to sue.
01:19:55.000 They're going to lose.
01:19:56.000 They're going to appeal to a federal court.
01:19:57.000 They're going to win or lose.
01:19:58.000 It'll get appealed by either side of the Supreme Court.
01:20:00.000 The Supreme Court's going to say, as John Roberts already did, this is not a question for the Supreme Court.
01:20:05.000 Ask Congress.
01:20:06.000 We hereby overturn Obergefell.
01:20:08.000 Because of the makeup of the court, I think you're right.
01:20:10.000 I think I agree with that because that's already the argument that dissent made.
01:20:14.000 And so this is the slippery slope.
01:20:16.000 When you go in the direction of, hey, guys, like, I don't care that gay people get married, okay?
01:20:23.000 Like, I know people who are gay and who are married, and I'm totally fine with it.
01:20:27.000 Dave Rubin's a great example.
01:20:28.000 He's a good dude.
01:20:28.000 He's a friend.
01:20:29.000 He's gay married.
01:20:30.000 And he is against them putting this stuff in schools.
01:20:33.000 You've got gays against groomers, also friends of ours.
01:20:36.000 They, I don't know if any of them are married or whatever, but they oppose this stuff in schools.
01:20:40.000 But what happens is...
01:20:41.000 The left, as a large group, ultimately moves in the direction of, as they state, their argument is, if a child in a school sees a teacher who has a picture of their gay married husband on their desk, the teacher should be allowed to tell the student.
01:20:55.000 Well, if that's the case, if you're doing sex ed, the children have to be taught about gay sex.
01:21:01.000 Otherwise, you're violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
01:21:05.000 That's the slippery slope.
01:21:06.000 So then we say, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:21:08.000 No, no, no, no, no.
01:21:09.000 That's gone way too far.
01:21:10.000 And so we say, pull it back.
01:21:12.000 And we did.
01:21:13.000 We elected Donald Trump.
01:21:14.000 And what happened then?
01:21:15.000 He appointed three conservative justices.
01:21:18.000 And now what's likely going to happen?
01:21:19.000 Well, Roe v.
01:21:20.000 Wade got overturned.
01:21:21.000 That's the slippery slope in the direction.
01:21:23.000 There is no point in human society where you stand still and say, this is the happy medium.
01:21:27.000 It's not going to happen.
01:21:28.000 I think we are very likely going to see at some point, the Supreme Court is going to be made up the way it is for a very long time.
01:21:35.000 Obergefell is likely going to get overturned.
01:21:37.000 I just think that's a high probability.
01:21:39.000 But let's talk about this story here.
01:21:41.000 We got this one from CNBC. This is huge news.
01:21:45.000 UFC's Dana White joins Meta's board weeks before Trump takes office.
01:21:51.000 Dana White is great.
01:21:52.000 Longtime friend of President-elect Donald Trump joining the board of Meta.
01:21:57.000 Mark Zuckerberg said in a post that White has built the UFC into one of the most valuable, fastest-growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world.
01:22:04.000 That is true.
01:22:05.000 And they say, John Elkin, the CEO of Italian holding company Exor and former Microsoft executive Charlie Songhurst are also joining Meta's board.
01:22:12.000 This is massive.
01:22:14.000 Dana White is a friend of Trump.
01:22:17.000 He is a Trump supporter.
01:22:19.000 He is on the board.
01:22:20.000 This is going to have a massive positive impact.
01:22:22.000 He's twice as wide as Zucker.
01:22:25.000 Hey man, Zuckerberg's been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
01:22:28.000 I think Zuckerberg's a UFC fan.
01:22:30.000 This is the best.
01:22:32.000 So honestly, this is actually a great thing.
01:22:34.000 I do jiu-jitsu.
01:22:35.000 It's my hobby.
01:22:36.000 And I can tell you that the majority of that environment, those people that come in there...
01:22:40.000 They start very much like Zuckerberg.
01:22:42.000 Everyone wants to be a tough guy.
01:22:43.000 You come in, you figure out that you get folded in 16 different ways, and you love it for some reason.
01:22:48.000 You realize that your cardio isn't as good as you thought your cardio was.
01:22:51.000 Exactly.
01:22:52.000 And I think this could be a good thing for him.
01:22:54.000 He is lining himself up with people who are probably centrists, populists, and he's going to learn a new way of life.
01:23:00.000 I'm actually excited about this.
01:23:02.000 Zuckerberg started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
01:23:04.000 That's what he was training, right?
01:23:06.000 It spiked his testosterone.
01:23:08.000 His hair grew out.
01:23:09.000 Got a gold chain.
01:23:10.000 Well, I mean, he did.
01:23:12.000 But I really do think...
01:23:14.000 His eyes became sentient again.
01:23:15.000 He's this scrawny tech bro.
01:23:18.000 UFC becomes popular.
01:23:19.000 He's got some friends who are like, let's watch the fight.
01:23:21.000 He gets interested in it.
01:23:22.000 He says, yeah, man, I want to do that.
01:23:24.000 That looks fun.
01:23:25.000 I'll get in shape.
01:23:25.000 He starts training, starts building muscle mass, starts eating meat, testosterone spikes, and now here he is putting Dana White on the board of Meta.
01:23:34.000 I mean, look, anything that could...
01:23:37.000 If he can be influenced by people like Dana White, I think that's a good thing.
01:23:41.000 I know that we're going to be all really critical of Facebook because of the way they behave for the past 10 years.
01:23:49.000 But if this is another sign that Zuck is moving away from being in bed with the government, I'd say good.
01:23:57.000 Their solution to the whole thing is, and I know just through people who still run businesses on Facebook related to news content, they just were like, What's even the point of having political content on Facebook?
01:24:11.000 So now, no, seriously, news companies, the revenue on Facebook has just absolutely fallen through the floor because they no longer have it.
01:24:19.000 They're just like, you know, what's the point?
01:24:21.000 The amount of moderation that it takes, the amount of headache that comes with everything that happened with the Hunter Biden laptop and all that.
01:24:27.000 They're just like, well, why would we even monetize this?
01:24:29.000 So let's just...
01:24:30.000 Well, I've been talking...
01:24:31.000 So obviously...
01:24:32.000 The New Year's here, ad sales and all that stuff's happening.
01:24:35.000 We've been talking to a bunch of companies.
01:24:36.000 And we've often mentioned Facebook, which we underutilize.
01:24:39.000 And the response from all the networks is, nobody cares about Facebook.
01:24:42.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:24:43.000 It's a dead network.
01:24:44.000 It's a boomer network.
01:24:45.000 It's boomer memes and basically like, I don't know, elevated Craigslist.
01:24:50.000 Ten years ago, it was the king.
01:24:52.000 I know.
01:24:52.000 I mean, Daily Caller, that was where we made most of our video revenue.
01:24:56.000 Well, you know what it was?
01:24:57.000 All the boomer crack.
01:24:58.000 Facebook started banning.
01:25:01.000 The companies that made money doing it.
01:25:03.000 They started going after people who figured out how to monetize the platform.
01:25:06.000 Exactly.
01:25:06.000 You figure out the algorithm, and then they game it, and then you're all of a sudden like, okay, well, back to the drawing board.
01:25:12.000 Facebook ended itself.
01:25:13.000 Yeah, which is completely stupid.
01:25:15.000 One of the things that people like about TikTok, not that I'm pro TikTok, but one of the things that people like about TikTok is TikTok tells you with great detail of how to expand your reach.
01:25:25.000 This is what you need to do if you want to, and blah, blah, blah.
01:25:29.000 Facebook hides that information.
01:25:31.000 They don't put your posts into feeds, and they do it on Instagram is where you see it mostly.
01:25:38.000 But it's like a big secret about how you can do stuff, and it's like, why are you making this difficult for people to use your platform in the way that they want to?
01:25:50.000 Everyone knows that TikTok is eating Facebook's lunch.
01:25:55.000 Why is it that you're not...
01:25:57.000 Doing that with your platform.
01:25:58.000 Because you have people in Silicon Valley who are completely detached from reality.
01:26:01.000 And I know because I've dealt with those people running news business on Facebook.
01:26:07.000 Is it really that they're detached from reality?
01:26:10.000 Is that why?
01:26:10.000 I'm not saying you're wrong about them being detached.
01:26:13.000 But is that why they don't think it's a good idea to let people know how to optimize their reach on their goal?
01:26:19.000 Yeah, because they think that they can be the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain and get away with it.
01:26:22.000 And we had a dude come down and obviously Daily Caller is...
01:26:27.000 Founded by Tucker Carlson, viewed as just an absolute trash tabloid by these people from Menlo Park in Silicon Valley.
01:26:33.000 So this guy comes in from Facebook.
01:26:35.000 We're at the Facebook HQ, which is the most beautiful building in downtown D.C. And he literally comes in, puts his feet up on the table, and he's like, so you guys live in D.C. You know what Congress is, right?
01:26:46.000 Yeah, and he was the head of standards and practices.
01:26:49.000 He's like, well, think of me like the Congress of Facebook.
01:26:52.000 As he puts his feet on the table, and we're like, is this a...
01:26:55.000 I mean, this is kind of a legit power play if this guy is serious here.
01:26:59.000 It was just the degree to which they looked down their nose at conservatives on the platform was astounding.
01:27:08.000 And at the same time, if you look at the top news outlets on Facebook every week, Daily Wire.
01:27:16.000 New York Times is like number 10. So it is overwhelmingly a conservative platform.
01:27:20.000 And they set themselves on fire.
01:27:21.000 Yeah.
01:27:22.000 Maybe with Dana White joining the board, he might be like, hey guys, stop getting involved like this and let companies succeed.
01:27:28.000 Facebook's a really good example of over-regulation destroying industry.
01:27:32.000 There you go.
01:27:34.000 I don't know how, this is back to something we talked about earlier, I don't know how reliable this...
01:27:42.000 It's at EXX Alerts is saying that Trump has a plan to buy Greenland.
01:27:53.000 He has a deal worked up for the purchase of Greenland.
01:27:56.000 Should be interesting.
01:27:57.000 Is it going to work out better than Atlantic City?
01:27:59.000 I hope so.
01:28:00.000 I hope so.
01:28:01.000 Well, I mean, Atlantic City's got problems.
01:28:03.000 Have you read Art of the Deal?
01:28:05.000 Specifically New Jersey.
01:28:06.000 Like the entire second half of the book, he just spends bragging about his...
01:28:09.000 Projects in Atlantic City and how successful they are.
01:28:12.000 Yeah, but you know what Atlantic City's problem is?
01:28:14.000 New Jersey.
01:28:15.000 Yeah, I mean, that's exactly right.
01:28:20.000 I bring this up all the time.
01:28:22.000 We've got like 10 casinos within an hour, hour and a half from where we are right now.
01:28:26.000 Or you've got a casino right here, too.
01:28:29.000 On your phone, even.
01:28:30.000 Sports betting.
01:28:31.000 It's got nuts.
01:28:33.000 Yeah, in the 2000s, there was no gambling anywhere.
01:28:36.000 There was Indian casinos, there was Vegas, and there was Atlantic City.
01:28:40.000 Florida's blowing up, too.
01:28:41.000 Yeah.
01:28:42.000 Oh, bro, in Miami, there's like 25 casinos.
01:28:44.000 Nuts!
01:28:46.000 So Atlantic City was a booming, and then all the states started legalizing gambling, and then people were like, I don't need to drive to Atlantic City anymore.
01:28:54.000 It doesn't count as a casino if you can't smoke inside, though, in my opinion.
01:28:58.000 Most of them abandoned.
01:28:59.000 I know Tim hates that.
01:29:00.000 No, not unless I'm in a casino.
01:29:01.000 Oh, bro, dude, everybody hates it.
01:29:02.000 Not unless I'm at a $5 blackjack table.
01:29:04.000 And it's menthols all the way, baby.
01:29:06.000 I can't get people to go play the casino here because of the smoking.
01:29:08.000 Well, I'll go.
01:29:10.000 Sure.
01:29:11.000 Smoking.
01:29:12.000 Do they have a $5 table?
01:29:13.000 Because I do $5 blackjack.
01:29:15.000 No?
01:29:15.000 Nope.
01:29:16.000 $15.
01:29:17.000 Wow, that is way higher.
01:29:18.000 They have a $5 promo table sometimes if you use their app or whatever, but I don't know if they have that anymore.
01:29:25.000 That place is like walking into a—it's smog.
01:29:28.000 It's like walking into—you're in Shenzhen.
01:29:30.000 It's like just smoke everywhere.
01:29:32.000 It's awful.
01:29:33.000 You walk in for five minutes, you leave smelling like smoke.
01:29:37.000 And the non-smoking section only has slot machines.
01:29:40.000 But the poker room's not smoking, so I play poker there.
01:29:42.000 God, I smoked for almost a decade, and I'm like 14 years quit now.
01:29:47.000 I smoke a cigar like twice a year, New Year's, and then— Yeah, but cigars are different.
01:29:52.000 You don't inhale those.
01:29:53.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:29:54.000 That's definitely...
01:29:54.000 You look back and you're like, oh man.
01:29:56.000 Dude, it is miserable.
01:29:58.000 So that's the only casino that allows smoking in the area.
01:30:01.000 And they do it intentionally because they want to steal customers.
01:30:04.000 Their attitude is like...
01:30:05.000 If you go to MGM or Maryland Live or Horseshoe or what else we got out here?
01:30:10.000 We got another Hollywood.
01:30:11.000 If you go to any of those casinos, you can't smoke.
01:30:13.000 But if you come to us, you can smoke.
01:30:14.000 I got a personal story.
01:30:16.000 So my mother-in-law, Susie, I'm sorry for sharing the story publicly online, live.
01:30:21.000 She used to smoke.
01:30:23.000 She was like 35 years, smoked like a pack a day.
01:30:26.000 And I can't stand the smell because I quit smoking.
01:30:28.000 And the people who hate smoking the worst are the ones.
01:30:32.000 Who used to smoke.
01:30:34.000 Who used to smoke?
01:30:35.000 I miss it.
01:30:36.000 I had my second oldest ask her one time, when do you get the hole in your throat, Grandma?
01:30:43.000 She quit like a week later.
01:30:44.000 She's been quit.
01:30:45.000 When you reach level 20?
01:30:47.000 What is it, like a three-pack-a-day Newports?
01:30:49.000 Yeah.
01:30:50.000 But she's been quit smoking now for almost 10 years.
01:30:53.000 She's saved.
01:30:53.000 She's got an app she tracks with the money she saved from quitting smoking.
01:30:56.000 So, proud of you, Sam.
01:30:58.000 You did a good thing.
01:31:00.000 I'm not.
01:31:01.000 You didn't do a good thing.
01:31:04.000 Like, if there's one, like, if a genie popped out of a magic lantern and said you can have one wish, it'd be like, Marlboros that don't give you cancer, bro!
01:31:15.000 Taste the same, but they don't give me cancer?
01:31:17.000 Give them to me.
01:31:18.000 Well, it's the activity, right?
01:31:20.000 No, it's the Marlboro, dude.
01:31:22.000 No, it's the Marlboro.
01:31:23.000 It's the cigarette.
01:31:24.000 It's the nicotine.
01:31:25.000 My one wish for my genie is a cigarette that I can smoke in the shower.
01:31:31.000 No, I want cigarettes that don't give you cancer.
01:31:33.000 Marlboro Reds that don't give you cancer.
01:31:35.000 That's what I want.
01:31:36.000 And a shower gun that fires, even though it's soaking wet.
01:31:38.000 Yeah.
01:31:39.000 I mean, that's most guns.
01:31:40.000 You know, anyway, back to the story.
01:31:41.000 I do think trends like this.
01:31:43.000 And the shift, we're going to see a shift in social media, especially with this move, that is going to just vaporize what we know of as wokeness on the left.
01:31:52.000 Yes.
01:31:52.000 Yeah.
01:31:53.000 Yep.
01:31:55.000 People are sick of woke, you know?
01:31:57.000 So what do the Democrats become?
01:32:02.000 Angry.
01:32:03.000 Well, there's, I mean, like, we see the fight in the US, or I'm sorry, in the Republican Party, but there's also a fight going on in the Democrat Party about whether it's the progressives or the Democrats.
01:32:14.000 And people like Richie Torres is the Democrat that's trying to slide into that, you know, actual...
01:32:22.000 Reasonable Democrat that's actually focusing on the working class and not about all the woke stuff.
01:32:29.000 And so maybe that'll actually...
01:32:31.000 They're going to rebrand, right?
01:32:32.000 They're going to rebrand.
01:32:33.000 They're in that season before midterms.
01:32:35.000 It's going to take more than just...
01:32:36.000 Four years, but yeah.
01:32:37.000 Because they still have to figure that the fight's going to go on for a while because Woke, there's a lot of people that make a whole lot of money off of racial animus and blah blah blah people like Abram X. Kendi and stuff like that.
01:32:49.000 They make a whole lot of money off of that.
01:32:51.000 So yeah, they're going to fight to keep that to be the focus and it's going to take a little time.
01:32:57.000 My concern is I believe they really are audiologues though.
01:32:59.000 They actually believed everything they said.
01:33:01.000 They want that.
01:33:02.000 They just didn't get it through this time.
01:33:04.000 I think you're right and like Tim's Tim's idea of woke is the average kind of person that is just listening to them.
01:33:12.000 There is a small group of people that are ideologically motivated, but then the most of the people that you would consider woke don't have any kind of allegiance to an ideology.
01:33:23.000 They're just doing what is politically correct.
01:33:25.000 Well, maybe they have their own populist movement, right?
01:33:28.000 Woke ideology.
01:33:29.000 Now we're having ours.
01:33:30.000 So I will take this time to give you the definition of woke.
01:33:33.000 There are many people who have tried to define it.
01:33:35.000 And they all do it from a particularly myopic view.
01:33:38.000 And I try to understand woke from every possible...
01:33:42.000 Like, what is the unifying factor of why this person and this person over here see this thing and say it's woke?
01:33:47.000 This person over here says it's critical theory.
01:33:49.000 This person over here says it's gay stuff.
01:33:51.000 And I'm like, whoa, whoa.
01:33:52.000 What's the overarching pattern?
01:33:55.000 Postmodernism.
01:33:56.000 It's not.
01:33:57.000 It's cult-like adherence to liberal social orthodoxy.
01:34:00.000 But what is...
01:34:01.000 So...
01:34:02.000 War with Ukraine is not postmodernism.
01:34:05.000 No, no.
01:34:06.000 But when you say liberal orthodoxy, that seems to me to be an oxymoron because the definition of the word liberal could imply that it's not an orthodoxy.
01:34:15.000 Big L liberal.
01:34:15.000 Yeah.
01:34:16.000 It's a reference to a political faction of individuals that unify around one political faction that we view as what liberal is.
01:34:25.000 It's not the actual word liberal.
01:34:27.000 Like progressive.
01:34:29.000 Progressive and liberal have meanings, but there's colloquial understanding of what the words mean.
01:34:33.000 So when we say liberal or conservative, we're not literally saying the true definition of a conservative who's conserving traditional values.
01:34:40.000 And when we say liberal, we don't talk about classical liberals.
01:34:43.000 That's why we define classical liberal as classical liberal.
01:34:45.000 So you can call it leftist or you can call it politically left social orthodoxy, but that's why you can have pro-Ukraine war, pro-feminist, anti-Israel.
01:34:55.000 None of it makes sense other than they must be unified around what their social order says.
01:35:00.000 The best example of this is a Jaguar commercial.
01:35:03.000 Jaguar, you see how I said it?
01:35:04.000 Where that commercial came out was called Woke by everybody.
01:35:08.000 But there's zero politics in it.
01:35:10.000 It's literally just goofy looking art people.
01:35:12.000 Why do they call it Woke?
01:35:14.000 Because it represents the cultural aesthetic of the left, of liberalism, postmodernist art.
01:35:22.000 Yeah.
01:35:22.000 So when they say...
01:35:24.000 James Lindsay says, nothing is more woke than critical theory.
01:35:28.000 And I'm like, that Jaguar commercial had nothing to do with critical theory.
01:35:31.000 It simply donned the aesthetic of liberals, and it was deemed woke.
01:35:35.000 So when people say woke, they're referring to the liberal orthodoxy.
01:35:39.000 And then when we criticize wokeness, there's an illogical adherence to these ideas that make no sense.
01:35:44.000 Hence, when I mentioned that movie earlier, blink twice, and the woman says...
01:35:47.000 We can't call the police because white men won't believe women.
01:35:50.000 And we scream, believe women, but they won't listen to us.
01:35:52.000 You go, that's not correct.
01:35:54.000 That is illogical.
01:35:55.000 And you are fervently adhering to the social concepts, the orthodoxy, despite it being false.
01:36:02.000 But don't you think that...
01:36:03.000 Real quick, sorry.
01:36:04.000 This is why Blair White, who is trans, is not woke.
01:36:07.000 Despite being transgender, that's critical gender theory.
01:36:11.000 Jimmy Dore, a socialist, is not woke.
01:36:12.000 What do you mean?
01:36:13.000 He adheres to critical theory because they defy the orthodoxy.
01:36:19.000 So I would argue that the Jaguar commercial is evidence of critical theory in that it takes all the archetypal...
01:36:27.000 Ads for cars.
01:36:28.000 You know, guys driving big engines and fast car and the vroom vroom.
01:36:33.000 And they break down all those paradigms.
01:36:35.000 So it's a critique of the archetype.
01:36:39.000 So that is critical theory.
01:36:41.000 A good majority of car commercials are moms driving and pressing their brakes down.
01:36:45.000 What about lacquer rock?
01:36:47.000 That's some cars.
01:36:49.000 It's not an archetype.
01:36:50.000 But Jag is like a cool, you know, like fast.
01:36:53.000 There's no argument made in the commercial.
01:36:56.000 No one politically states anything about oppression or anything.
01:36:59.000 It was literally just people dressed in a liberal aesthetic.
01:37:03.000 I think woke orthodoxy is different because it was not clearly defined a few years ago because it was an ever-evolving idea.
01:37:11.000 It's the NPC switching out, now it's Ukraine, now it's this, now it's that.
01:37:14.000 So the orthodoxy was a living, breathing embodiment, but now it's become so identifiable because now it is orthodox.
01:37:19.000 There is a set.
01:37:22.000 I disagree.
01:37:23.000 Product of images that we see and we say, oh, that's woke, that's woke, that's woke.
01:37:26.000 Jaguar commercial.
01:37:26.000 You can look at it and say, that's woke.
01:37:28.000 That's because it's the current cultural aesthetic.
01:37:30.000 And so it does change.
01:37:32.000 You are right.
01:37:32.000 The NPC is switching out the chip for the next chip.
01:37:34.000 That's why there's no—it makes no sense when Hassan Piker says, we have to support Ukraine, but then he goes, the military-industrial complex is bad.
01:37:41.000 You're like, wait, because he's saying whatever— That's where Chank actually made the flip from Hassan.
01:37:47.000 It's because woke people say whatever has to be said to align with woke, despite it's being illogical.
01:37:54.000 So again, Blair White trans, but not woke.
01:37:57.000 But that's critical gender theory.
01:37:58.000 Jimmy Dore, critical theory itself, but not woke.
01:38:02.000 Because both of these individuals challenge the social order of liberals.
01:38:06.000 So anything outside of that order is called far right.
01:38:10.000 So me, it's like I can be a pro-progressive tax along with Steve Bannon.
01:38:15.000 I can be moderately pro-choice but against abortion at the point of birth.
01:38:18.000 They say I'm far right.
01:38:20.000 Well, I'm certainly not woke, even though I have many liberal views.
01:38:24.000 Because woke is when you adhere to them, to their – whatever the chip is in the brain, that's woke.
01:38:31.000 You have to adhere to whatever they say or you're canceled.
01:38:34.000 And there is an aesthetic to it.
01:38:35.000 There are ideas behind it.
01:38:36.000 There are some ideas that are more common than others.
01:38:39.000 But in the early days of wokeness, intersectionality was a core component.
01:38:43.000 But now they're focused more on critical gender theory.
01:38:48.000 It's less identitarian based upon your – Ethnic boundaries is what you're saying?
01:38:53.000 And it's more based upon...
01:38:55.000 Gender?
01:38:55.000 On your lifestyle choices?
01:38:58.000 Race is still a component of it, but race has taken a backseat to gender.
01:39:02.000 The big component of woke us right now is gender theory.
01:39:05.000 Hence, the Jaguar commercial looked very much in line with the non-binary aesthetic.
01:39:09.000 That's why people say it's woke.
01:39:10.000 It's the liberal aesthetic.
01:39:12.000 Okay.
01:39:13.000 I think you get the point.
01:39:14.000 Do you want a hot take?
01:39:16.000 Sure.
01:39:16.000 We don't know what a woman is in the modern context.
01:39:20.000 Liberals don't.
01:39:21.000 No, we don't.
01:39:24.000 Because women in the modern world have, you know, you have all these different waves of feminism, and you have all these women who are my age who are, you know, mid-30s, and they've been sold a lie on, okay, I have to live, you know, I have to go work really hard, be a boss girl, and then at the sacrifice of, you know, the physiological clock that they have.
01:39:49.000 Right?
01:39:50.000 So now there's a backlash against that where young people are realizing that they have to rearrange their priorities and we don't really know what a woman's role is per se in America today.
01:40:03.000 Well, I get what you're trying to say, but I don't think it's fair to say we.
01:40:07.000 Because...
01:40:08.000 As Americans.
01:40:09.000 The average American would say it is...
01:40:11.000 Like a homemaker?
01:40:12.000 I don't think the average American would say that.
01:40:14.000 That a woman's role is...
01:40:15.000 Yeah, I'm talking about us here.
01:40:18.000 We say we.
01:40:19.000 America has destroyed the feminine gender role.
01:40:23.000 So here's the thing.
01:40:25.000 They say they want to get rid of gender roles.
01:40:27.000 You can't.
01:40:28.000 There is the masculine role and there is the feminine role.
01:40:30.000 They exist.
01:40:31.000 They will always exist.
01:40:32.000 You can erase one of them, but simply putting shoehorning women into the masculine role doesn't change the fact that it's the traditional masculine role.
01:40:40.000 So go back 50,000 years, there's a masculine and a feminine role.
01:40:44.000 Today, telling women to be a CEO is just saying for them to be masculine.
01:40:47.000 Act like a dude, yeah.
01:40:49.000 It's not eliminating the binary.
01:40:50.000 Oh, but that's exactly my point, which is that we're now realizing how big of a lie that was, was like, oh, you know, if you wear pantsuits, you know, you're going to be happy, right?
01:41:05.000 Or if you, whatever, like, spend 20 years toiling away at a law firm.
01:41:10.000 Then that's gonna make you...
01:41:12.000 That's the reward.
01:41:13.000 You watch Landman?
01:41:13.000 Yeah.
01:41:14.000 Yeah, I love that show.
01:41:16.000 Just Billy Bob Thornton just rolling his eyes.
01:41:18.000 I forgot the character played by Allie Larder, but she's like, my job...
01:41:23.000 The younger one?
01:41:23.000 Or his ex-wife?
01:41:25.000 His current wife.
01:41:26.000 And she's like, my job is to keep my man happy so that he gives me money to buy stuff.
01:41:31.000 And she's like...
01:41:32.000 So she goes to the gym, she works out, she's like, we're building butts.
01:41:34.000 And she's like, I'm gonna make my man happy.
01:41:37.000 That's very much...
01:41:39.000 Antithetical to what the modern American would say is the woman's role.
01:41:45.000 Sheridan does tap in on that.
01:41:47.000 He's really good at that.
01:41:48.000 That whole show is just like Billy Bob represents the American who's not in step with all of the modern times.
01:41:58.000 It's a good show.
01:41:59.000 And his daughter's like...
01:42:00.000 I turned off the show, though, after his daughter was like, I'm gonna go sleep with my daddy.
01:42:04.000 When she said that to her with her boyfriend in, like, the second episode, she, like, gets mad at her boyfriend.
01:42:08.000 She's like, I'm going to sleep with my daddy.
01:42:11.000 We gotta go to Super Chats, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show with everyone you know.
01:42:16.000 My friends, at 10, we're gonna go to the members-only Uncensored show over at TimCast.com.
01:42:22.000 Join us, become a member.
01:42:24.000 Because it's what makes the company operate.
01:42:26.000 As a member, you are joining in our efforts to bring you real news, challenge the fake news narratives, and of course you'll get access to our uncensored members-only shows Monday through Thursday at 10 p.m.
01:42:38.000 If you just sign up right now for $10, there's a waiting period until you can submit questions because we have to screen out the crackpot weirdos who are trying to basically come after us, screw up the whole program.
01:42:49.000 But if you spend $25, you can jump the line.
01:42:52.000 And there had to be some kind of gate.
01:42:55.000 But it seems to work, and we mostly get rid of the people who are just trolling and trying to cause problems and ruin the show.
01:43:00.000 So become a member because it's how we make all of this possible.
01:43:05.000 And the bad news for all of you is that we did not sell to Jews.
01:43:08.000 And so that means we do need money.
01:43:10.000 Because we're not being bankrolled.
01:43:12.000 Despite the fact that people ran with that lie, then got mad at me because it was my responsibility to come out and debunk the lie.
01:43:19.000 Man, I gotta tell you.
01:43:20.000 And then we launched Casper Franchising.
01:43:23.000 We have dozens, dozens of people who want to open their own Casper locations.
01:43:28.000 And people are mad that I'm like, I had an announcement on the January 1st.
01:43:31.000 I'm like, bro, we've been working on this thing for like a year.
01:43:33.000 We built out this whole plan for like how to run the coffee shops, what they're going to look like, how we're going to assist, what the money gets.
01:43:40.000 Andrew Gruhl is amazing.
01:43:41.000 He's leading the charge on this one.
01:43:42.000 I love Jeff Gruhl.
01:43:43.000 He's amazing.
01:43:44.000 And we're super excited to be working with him on this because he's the expert.
01:43:46.000 And we did all this hard work and we couldn't legally say anything.
01:43:49.000 I was like, we can't talk about it.
01:43:51.000 On the first, we have a big announcement.
01:43:53.000 And all of these crazy people who think the Jews are in charge of everything are like, Tim's owned by Jews and blah blah blah.
01:43:59.000 They're nuts!
01:44:00.000 And I'm just like, yo, you people are crazy.
01:44:01.000 The coffee cabal.
01:44:03.000 I want to tell you guys, I hope all of those people who believe that insanity, and it's funny too because they're tweeting at me and I'm like, guys, on Timcast IRL, I said it was 100% fake.
01:44:10.000 I mean, there were legitimate reporters who were insinuating that kind of stuff.
01:44:15.000 Are there legitimate reporters?
01:44:17.000 On Timcast IRL twice, I said it is not true.
01:44:21.000 And then on the members only, I said 100% false.
01:44:25.000 And people are like, why didn't you tell us it was fake?
01:44:27.000 It's like, bro, you guys went nuts.
01:44:29.000 And I said on my show it was not true.
01:44:31.000 So the bad news is we don't have the Jew money.
01:44:34.000 Okay?
01:44:35.000 Because we didn't sell to...
01:44:36.000 And it's funny, too, because Daily Wire is not even owned by Jews.
01:44:38.000 Like, one guy is Jewish.
01:44:40.000 But maybe we have your money.
01:44:41.000 You go to Timcast.com, you become a member.
01:44:43.000 How about that?
01:44:45.000 All right, here we go.
01:44:45.000 Shane H. Wilder says, welcome back.
01:44:46.000 It's 2025. Let's do this.
01:44:48.000 It's great to have you back.
01:44:49.000 I'm glad Raymond still has all of his limbs for now.
01:44:52.000 And a shout out to Pop Culture Crisis reached 300,000 subs on New Year's Eve.
01:44:56.000 Holy crap.
01:44:57.000 Good for that.
01:44:57.000 Pop Culture Crisis is getting too big.
01:45:00.000 300,000.
01:45:01.000 Time to sell them to the Jews.
01:45:04.000 I think we can get PCC to a million.
01:45:07.000 I think we can do it.
01:45:08.000 Yeah.
01:45:10.000 I think we can get him to a million.
01:45:11.000 Absolutely.
01:45:12.000 We're going to do a big marketing blast-off for PCC. We'll see.
01:45:16.000 We'll see.
01:45:17.000 All right, we got Quantum Strange Quirks says, a woman was forced to admit that she lost an argument to a man today.
01:45:21.000 Welcome back, Timcast.
01:45:23.000 There you go.
01:45:26.000 Oh, my God.
01:45:27.000 Savage.
01:45:28.000 Wow.
01:45:28.000 There we go.
01:45:30.000 Good stuff.
01:45:31.000 All right, let's see.
01:45:32.000 Let's see.
01:45:34.000 Gryfus says, welcome back and happy new year.
01:45:36.000 My father passed away this week.
01:45:38.000 If you could find it in your heart to donate to his memorial...
01:45:41.000 We'd be forever grateful.
01:45:42.000 Give, send, go.
01:45:43.000 Eric Vanneman.
01:45:45.000 Sorry to hear, brother.
01:45:46.000 Sorry to hear.
01:45:48.000 Jason Dixon says, Shout out to Adam.
01:45:50.000 Loved you on Roman Nation last night.
01:45:52.000 I was on Roman Nation.
01:45:54.000 They are gentlemen over there.
01:45:55.000 They were fantastic.
01:45:56.000 Good interview.
01:45:57.000 Lots of good conversation.
01:45:58.000 Open conversation.
01:45:59.000 It was fun.
01:46:00.000 You know what we need?
01:46:01.000 We need a velvet jacket cigar and whiskey.
01:46:06.000 Gentlemanly show.
01:46:07.000 Let me know.
01:46:08.000 There you go.
01:46:09.000 Leather chairs.
01:46:11.000 And a nice lectern.
01:46:13.000 Highback leather chairs.
01:46:14.000 Leather bound books.
01:46:15.000 Monologue is from behind a lectern and then you go and you sit down.
01:46:18.000 You pick up the lectern and then you sit down in the chair.
01:46:21.000 Open with a monologue.
01:46:22.000 Two, three minutes.
01:46:22.000 Go ahead and talk about whatever's going on in the day.
01:46:24.000 And then you go over and sit down in the nice leather chairs.
01:46:26.000 What if we make a collapsible lectern?
01:46:30.000 That folds into the shape of a suitcase, and then you place it down, and then unfold it, lift it up, and then...
01:46:35.000 And it has like a bump stock.
01:46:38.000 So Kyle Rittenhouse has asked me to build him a lectern, and I'm building him one, and he is in exchange building me an AR-15.
01:46:47.000 Oh, how fun, how fun.
01:46:48.000 Lots of fun.
01:46:49.000 All right, let's go!
01:46:50.000 Just because I'm free says...
01:46:53.000 Trump shouldn't show up for sentencing.
01:46:55.000 The city of New York is way too dangerous for Trump to show up in person.
01:46:58.000 The judge and DA should be charged for violation of rights.
01:47:01.000 I agree.
01:47:02.000 I don't think Trump should go.
01:47:03.000 I think Trump should just be like, I'm not going.
01:47:05.000 Yep.
01:47:06.000 What are you going to do about it?
01:47:08.000 Yep.
01:47:09.000 I think this is a moment for DeSantis to be like, yeah, you can't take him.
01:47:12.000 Well, they said they're not going to give him prison.
01:47:15.000 What if that's a trick?
01:47:17.000 Trump shows up and the judge says, you know, I changed my mind.
01:47:19.000 Five years.
01:47:20.000 Bang.
01:47:20.000 Remand.
01:47:22.000 What's Secret Service gonna do?
01:47:24.000 So if Trump doesn't go, and they're like, we're gonna put out a warrant for your arrest, and he'll be like, good luck.
01:47:28.000 So this isn't a jury trial, right?
01:47:29.000 No, it's a sentencing.
01:47:30.000 He's convicted.
01:47:31.000 Yeah, it's a sentencing, right?
01:47:31.000 Yeah.
01:47:32.000 So the judge, this is the point where anybody in the world with 34 felonies is told you're going to prison.
01:47:39.000 So here's the crazy thing.
01:47:41.000 If they don't give Trump prison time, it just, it shows the emperor's got no clothes.
01:47:46.000 So anyway, you mean to tell me you convicted a guy with 34 felonies, and then you said, we're not going to, no penalty.
01:47:51.000 Just bang the gavel and get out of here.
01:47:53.000 Who's going to believe it's real?
01:47:56.000 They have no choice but to put Trump in prison.
01:47:58.000 Otherwise, they're just proving they lied about everything.
01:48:00.000 Yes.
01:48:01.000 I'm convinced they will put him in prison.
01:48:02.000 That's basically the last four years in a nutshell.
01:48:04.000 You think they're going to put him in prison?
01:48:05.000 If he shows up, yes.
01:48:07.000 I think he should stay home.
01:48:08.000 The question is...
01:48:09.000 He lives in West Palm.
01:48:10.000 He says, shut the bridge off.
01:48:11.000 The question is, why would they stop here?
01:48:16.000 We talked about this a few months ago.
01:48:17.000 Will they put Trump in prison?
01:48:18.000 And I can't remember when I was on the show.
01:48:20.000 They were like, why would they stop here?
01:48:22.000 And I'm like, that's a good point.
01:48:24.000 Why would this be the one time they say we're going to let Trump go?
01:48:29.000 Every step of the way.
01:48:30.000 They accused him of being a traitor.
01:48:32.000 How many impeachments are we going to have this time around?
01:48:34.000 Two?
01:48:35.000 Three?
01:48:36.000 We should check Paul.
01:48:37.000 They don't have Congress.
01:48:38.000 It'll be after.
01:48:39.000 And you don't have to brag about it.
01:48:40.000 I'm the most impeached president.
01:48:42.000 No one's done it like I've done it before.
01:48:44.000 Only if he doesn't get removed from office.
01:48:47.000 I've been saying Teflon Don for 10 years.
01:48:51.000 We got Jason Dixon here who says, Tim, can I get a shout out to Roman Nation?
01:48:54.000 Roman Nation.
01:48:55.000 One of the fastest growing streaming podcasts.
01:48:57.000 Adam, lectern guy, was on it last night.
01:48:59.000 Good guy.
01:49:00.000 Jason, I hope you have checked out our Casper.com franchising section because it would be rad if you were to open the first location.
01:49:09.000 Now, here's what I want to say about all that.
01:49:10.000 People are like, you're franchising before you even opened yours?
01:49:13.000 Because in the process of opening our first location, what we were actually working on was the layout, designs, the aesthetic, the colors, sourcing product, all of these things that make a business.
01:49:23.000 So we have the core elements of what the business foundation is, and then we have problems with our location due to it being a historical building.
01:49:30.000 So the franchising is done.
01:49:33.000 And now we're basically saying we're done with West Virginia on this one, and we're going to probably open in a different place where we can...
01:49:40.000 The equipment, everything's ready to go, but they just wouldn't work with us.
01:49:43.000 We got a preview on what the layout's going to be?
01:49:46.000 Is there going to be a beanie logo?
01:49:48.000 Like Gregory's Coffee, but with a beanie?
01:49:50.000 There is not.
01:49:51.000 Not like a Starbucks...
01:49:54.000 Satanic siren.
01:49:55.000 No, but we have really cool 3D renderings and drawings and color schemes and all that stuff.
01:49:59.000 And there's really cool designs for this.
01:50:01.000 So if you go to Casper.com, you can click the button and learn all about it.
01:50:05.000 And yeah, there you go.
01:50:08.000 All right, we'll grab some more super chips.
01:50:09.000 We already have, I will just say, I don't want to give out the exact number because I don't know the rules or whatever, but dozens.
01:50:15.000 Dozens.
01:50:15.000 What if you had a conversation cafe like they had in the Chaz to talk about politics and stuff?
01:50:21.000 That's kind of the idea.
01:50:22.000 We want to open physical locations so that when you go to Walmart or whatever, some soccer mom is going to Target to pick up, you know, a pair of socks.
01:50:30.000 She's like, I'm going to grab a coffee.
01:50:31.000 And then she walks inside and there in the strip mall is a Casper location.
01:50:34.000 When she walks inside, there's a TV on the wall and the TV is playing Timcast or it's playing Crowder or Viva Frye.
01:50:40.000 And it's on low volume.
01:50:41.000 But as she's sitting there and she goes, I'll have iced coffee with a little room for cream.
01:50:45.000 As she's standing there and making it, she looks over and there's Crowder being like...
01:50:49.000 The Democrats are doing X, Y, and Z, and the Republicans are doing Y. You know it's going to be crowded or dressed like a woman.
01:50:57.000 It's like CNN in the airports.
01:50:59.000 100%.
01:50:59.000 There's like a 60% chance of that.
01:51:01.000 Except everybody's all buzzed up on coffee.
01:51:03.000 We want...
01:51:05.000 This type of show messaging to be in physical spaces all over the place to get into the real world where people are out shopping.
01:51:11.000 And then people are going to say, cast brew coffee.
01:51:13.000 I want a cup of coffee.
01:51:14.000 They're not going to think twice.
01:51:15.000 They're going to walk in.
01:51:16.000 They're not going to hear music and software playing.
01:51:18.000 It's going to be news shows and cultural shows.
01:51:21.000 And that's the plan, man.
01:51:23.000 And the people who are going to open them are people who like this show.
01:51:27.000 And we're going to offer up support.
01:51:29.000 It's like, imagine opening a business and you know you've got marketing.
01:51:32.000 We're going to be shouting you out.
01:51:33.000 I can't say too much because Andrew Gruul is basically the head of this one.
01:51:37.000 He's leading the charge.
01:51:38.000 But I want to say I fully intend to show up to these locations.
01:51:42.000 I want to do Timcast IRL from these locations, special events, grand openings.
01:51:46.000 We want to have a physical space where people can gather because the Founding Fathers organized a revolution by meeting in bars and pubs.
01:51:52.000 And chucking tea off of a boat.
01:51:55.000 That was basically it.
01:51:57.000 They threw tea off a boat.
01:51:58.000 They were like, yo, we don't agree with how you're doing these things.
01:52:00.000 Then they said, well, now we're taking your guns.
01:52:03.000 Actually, what they said was, we're going to pass the intolerable acts because you threw our tea over and you won't pay for it.
01:52:08.000 And they're like, screw you.
01:52:09.000 And then they said, we're coming to Occupy and we're going to Occupy.
01:52:12.000 You can't have guns.
01:52:13.000 My cold, dead hands.
01:52:14.000 Then the British were like, so be it.
01:52:16.000 We don't know who fired the first shots at Lexington and Concord.
01:52:18.000 But then everyone started fighting.
01:52:20.000 Then a year and one month later.
01:52:23.000 The Founding Fathers signed a Declaration of Independence.
01:52:25.000 We were at war for a year before they even declared independence.
01:52:28.000 People need to understand that.
01:52:30.000 All right.
01:52:31.000 Jacob Thomas Hickman says, Bet you won't read this one, Tim Boy.
01:52:34.000 You're correct.
01:52:35.000 I won't.
01:52:35.000 If you're a super champ of saying I won't read it, I'll just skip over it.
01:52:38.000 But if you just literally wrote what you wrote, I probably would have read it.
01:52:41.000 But I'm just kind of over the, I bet you won't read this one.
01:52:45.000 Is it supposed to, like, trick me into reading it?
01:52:47.000 Thank you for the money, dummy.
01:52:49.000 You could have literally just...
01:52:50.000 Hey, hey, don't hate on the super chat.
01:52:53.000 Yeah, no, he gave a good amount of money.
01:52:54.000 I'll read your super chat.
01:52:55.000 He gave 50 bucks.
01:52:56.000 Yeah, read the super chat.
01:52:56.000 50 bucks?
01:52:57.000 Read that super chat.
01:52:58.000 Trump lied about the infamous life-saving immigration graph.
01:53:01.000 Pull it up and check the red arrow at the bottom.
01:53:04.000 It points to January 2020 instead of 2021. This shows a massive spike in illegals.
01:53:10.000 I don't respect the first sentence there, but I do appreciate the super chat, so I did read it for you.
01:53:16.000 There you go, buddy.
01:53:18.000 All right, Jacob Pauly says, I'm tied to the big corporations already hoping to ship to our side.
01:53:23.000 I don't trust them at all.
01:53:24.000 We need some good legislation against corporations.
01:53:27.000 Maybe a little bit of progressivism, Phil.
01:53:29.000 MAGA-ism.
01:53:30.000 We need Huey Longback.
01:53:32.000 Let me tell you, this was always going to happen.
01:53:35.000 They're flipping over because they knew they were on the wrong side of history.
01:53:39.000 I predicted this.
01:53:39.000 I told you that people we don't like and trust are going to jump ship in two seconds and they realize they lost.
01:53:45.000 What we need.
01:53:46.000 Instead of going, Oh, man, Facebook.
01:53:50.000 Oh, they're figuring it out.
01:53:51.000 We just say, nah, we're going to be on X. Instead of saying, like, oh, did Starbucks finally change their tune?
01:53:58.000 Nah, nah, we're going to cast brew coffee.
01:54:00.000 Black Rifle has coffee locations as well.
01:54:02.000 But I know a lot of people don't like Black Rifle over the whole Kyle Rittenhouse thing.
01:54:05.000 But I got no beef.
01:54:07.000 I don't know.
01:54:07.000 What do you guys think about that one?
01:54:09.000 I think a lot of that was overblown and blown out of proportion and misrepresented.
01:54:14.000 Yeah, I don't know why the coffee is so political.
01:54:18.000 Because Kyle Rittenhouse was wearing a black rifle shirt and they denounced him and said, we have nothing to do with him.
01:54:22.000 Yeah, and Kyle's cool with those guys now, if I understand correctly.
01:54:25.000 They hung out and talked about it, so there's a lot of people that are still cranky in the pants about it.
01:54:32.000 It's election season.
01:54:33.000 I think a lot of people were just high energy and low tolerance, and if you're not a part of us, then you're against us.
01:54:40.000 Kyle's a good kid.
01:54:40.000 He went through a lot.
01:54:41.000 Yeah, he did.
01:54:42.000 And I don't think that we should expect anything from him other than We're sorry we weren't there for you more.
01:54:48.000 Like, this kid went through the mud.
01:54:52.000 Drag through it.
01:54:52.000 In fact, I think it was largely conservatives who used him for their own personal gain.
01:55:01.000 And he had some people in his corner after the trial that, you know, wanted to use him to grab some of the limelight.
01:55:09.000 And, I mean, he's 17, 18 years old.
01:55:12.000 He was 18 years old when...
01:55:13.000 He's got some good advocates now.
01:55:16.000 AK guy, Brandon, Cody, they're good people.
01:55:19.000 I fully think they're trying to help him, bring him under his wing, but I was out there to hang out with him.
01:55:24.000 He did.
01:55:24.000 He lost a bunch of weight.
01:55:26.000 I think he's doing really well.
01:55:29.000 Good for him.
01:55:30.000 Yeah, he said being fat is a choice.
01:55:32.000 That was correct.
01:55:33.000 And then he posted him when he was fat and him when he was fit.
01:55:36.000 Yep.
01:55:37.000 Very based.
01:55:38.000 Yep, you can do it.
01:55:39.000 I believe in all of you.
01:55:41.000 I will.
01:55:42.000 I challenge Phil.
01:55:44.000 Because Phil, you tweeted the calories in, calories out thing.
01:55:47.000 Yes.
01:55:48.000 And it's true, but the issue I take with it is your average person counts calories and doesn't understand why they're getting fat.
01:55:54.000 And it's because, one, I mean, those things are widely inaccurate.
01:56:00.000 Casey Neistat had a great video where he actually went around buying things from stores, brought them to a lab where they broke them down and actually measured the calories, and it was way crazier.
01:56:08.000 Subway actually was really good.
01:56:09.000 It was very low.
01:56:10.000 And so what happens is I've seen so many people, they're like, I'm counting my calories, and I'm at 1,700 for the day, and I'm gaining weight.
01:56:17.000 It's like, what are your calories?
01:56:19.000 They're like, I need a lot of macaroni and cheese.
01:56:21.000 And it's like, okay, so you're tired, and you're sitting around all day.
01:56:24.000 It's like...
01:56:24.000 Dude, counting calories doesn't cut it.
01:56:27.000 Because people don't know what their baseline calorie use is, either.
01:56:30.000 Right.
01:56:30.000 And so all they do is they...
01:56:32.000 But it's not even that.
01:56:33.000 It's like, you know, I think Neil deGrasse Tyson did this thing where he's like, all that matters is that you consume less calories than you put out.
01:56:40.000 And it's like, no, because if you're not eating protein...
01:56:45.000 You see that woman who was a fruitarian who died recently?
01:56:48.000 These macros had to be converted to something, so it's...
01:56:51.000 Sorry, go ahead.
01:56:52.000 No, there's this viral story about a woman who was a fruitarian vegan for 20 years, and she looks like she weighs 100 pounds soaking wet.
01:57:00.000 And her arms are skeletons, and she's like, I only eat fruit.
01:57:04.000 She's malnourished.
01:57:05.000 Yeah, horribly malnourished.
01:57:06.000 So, if you eat 2,000 calories of, like, just carbs, and no...
01:57:11.000 I'll tell you this, if you don't have any fat, you die.
01:57:13.000 It's called rabbit starvation.
01:57:15.000 So when they say, all that matters is calories in, calories out, and all these people are doing this low-fat stuff...
01:57:19.000 So when Venezuela was like, everybody breed rabbits because you're starving.
01:57:23.000 It's called rabbit starvation because rabbit fat content is so low, you don't get enough fat in your diet, you die.
01:57:28.000 You need fat.
01:57:30.000 So it's important to track your macros.
01:57:33.000 And then actually getting your baseline metabolic rate is not something the average person can do.
01:57:37.000 So really the only thing you can do is cut out the excess, stop having dessert, start exercising.
01:57:43.000 Just exercising is super important.
01:57:45.000 Breakfast and lunch.
01:57:47.000 I know that people want to say, oh, I'm on this diet or I'm taking this diet or whatever.
01:57:51.000 Getting in cardio and if you go and burn 500 to 1,000 calories in a day, just doing cardio and exercise on top of whatever your normal stuff is, and you try to limit your calories, you will lose weight because you really need to have that exercise in there too.
01:58:10.000 And it is a lifestyle.
01:58:11.000 I mean, my wife and I, we bought weighted vests.
01:58:12.000 We go for a walk every night.
01:58:13.000 It's a chance to connect.
01:58:14.000 It's like a three-quarter mile walk.
01:58:16.000 But we're walking around, we're burning calories, and we're chitchatting.
01:58:18.000 Like, there's a way to make this a positive thing as well.
01:58:21.000 You could carry a lectern, too.
01:58:22.000 That's a good workout.
01:58:23.000 I think walking is everything.
01:58:25.000 I think it's really that simple.
01:58:26.000 Walking.
01:58:28.000 People, you know, I keep seeing all these things about, like, Japan eats this, and, you know, India eats this, and Germany eats this, and I'm like, yeah, but we should actually measure how much people walk.
01:58:40.000 In the United States, people don't walk.
01:58:42.000 It's like Wally.
01:58:43.000 We're Wally.
01:58:44.000 You know, the guys in the floating chairs.
01:58:46.000 We're sedentary.
01:58:46.000 There was that graph where everyone's like, around this time, people started gaining massive amounts of weight, and they were blaming processed foods.
01:58:55.000 I was like, bro, it's the internet.
01:58:56.000 Once work went remote, and social interactions were remote, people stopped walking to places to meet, and they started just talking online.
01:59:05.000 Yeah, and the Uber Eats.
01:59:06.000 You know, you don't even have to just press a button.
01:59:08.000 It shows up at your door.
01:59:09.000 So now...
01:59:09.000 People don't even know how to cook.
01:59:10.000 The kids I coach in college, they literally don't know how to cook pasta.
01:59:13.000 Oh, dude.
01:59:13.000 You probably, like, I bet the average person burned 700 calories per day from the daily activities of going to the store and buying something.
01:59:21.000 And now they're wondering why they're gaining weight.
01:59:22.000 And they're like, dude, I eat the same thing.
01:59:24.000 Here's a question, too.
01:59:25.000 And people are like, when I'm in Europe and I eat, man, I don't gain as much weight when I come to the United States.
01:59:30.000 Okay.
01:59:31.000 Fair point on the seed oils and the tartrazine and all that stuff too, but also consider when you're in a foreign country, are you walking to places versus are you sitting down and ordering on DoorDash or something?
01:59:41.000 You're also visiting places.
01:59:42.000 You have an itinerary going places, right?
01:59:44.000 I also think maybe porn actually plays a big role in this.
01:59:47.000 You used to go out on the weekends.
01:59:49.000 You would go date.
01:59:50.000 You would find a mate.
01:59:51.000 You go to a bar.
01:59:51.000 You dance, right?
01:59:52.000 You would be active at night.
01:59:54.000 You're finding someone.
01:59:55.000 We have porn now.
01:59:56.000 We sit in our homes.
01:59:57.000 We don't go trying to find those people.
01:59:59.000 And also, the Hanky Panky itself burns calories, and young men and women ain't doing that so much anymore either.
02:00:04.000 Nope.

02:00:12.000 The members-only show is going to be about the UK grooming gangs.
02:00:15.000 Tommy Robinson has been covering this for a very long time.
02:00:19.000 The information that's recently come out from the transcripts is so horrifying, you might actually not want to hear it.
02:00:25.000 I'm sorry.
02:00:27.000 You know, part of me is like, if this stuff is too extreme, people don't want to be members, then the company goes under it.
02:00:33.000 Nah, this is where we got to take it.
02:00:35.000 Because I think you need to understand the depravity of what the UK was willing to do to pretend that multiculturalism worked.
02:00:44.000 Let me tell you something.
02:00:45.000 I got no problem with immigrants.
02:00:46.000 Someone from India wants to come and assimilate into our culture.
02:00:49.000 They want to come and they want to bring spices and food and games from their culture.
02:00:54.000 It's totally fine.
02:00:55.000 But this idea presented by the left of multiculturalism is that American culture sits side by side with insert foreign country.
02:01:01.000 They clearly don't get along.
02:01:03.000 What we end up seeing is in the UK, these grooming gangs and the systematic abuse and cover up by the government to defend the idea.
02:01:13.000 And it is horrifying.
02:01:15.000 So TimCast.com, click join us, become a member.
02:01:18.000 We're going to dive into that, and then we're going to take your callers as members.
