On this episode of The Culture War Podcast, Nick Adams joins us to talk about the latest in anti-Trump media coverage, including the Shiloh Hendricks Rant-A-Lope campaign, and a woman who is trying to raise money to fight back against a man who recorded her using a racial slur on a child.
00:02:38.000You know, there's a lot of bad press for Donald Trump, and despite all of this, the new poll that's coming out from Fox News is showing that Democrats' favorability has hit a new low, and the GOP is the favorite.
00:02:49.000Despite that, you know, they're still saying Democrats are expected to win in the midterms as of right now, even though Republicans are better off.
00:02:57.000Now, I don't like singular polls for obvious reasons, so we back this one up with civics.

00:06:20.000Naturalised US citizen, have gone on to live the American dream, was with President Trump from day one, the 16th of June 2015, became President Trump's favourite author, run a big organisation that is all about making sure that the next generation of Americans understand what it means to be an American.
00:06:39.000So we have kid-friendly versions of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, so that they understand the founding values.
00:06:49.000I'm a potential appointee since 2020, since President Trump's first term.
00:06:52.000He put me in the board of the Smithsonian, the Wilson Centre.
00:06:58.000I've got about three and a half million followers on social media, starting a new organisation called 1A Warriors, which is all about protecting the First Amendment and freedom, not just freedom of speech, but freedom after speech.
00:07:12.000I'm MAGA, America First, small government.
00:07:17.000But when government is needed, I believe it should go hard, fast, and get results.
00:07:23.000I think the Democrats are about three things.
00:07:26.000Illegal aliens, criminals, and perversion.
00:08:30.000And you compare this with the Republican Party, and you have 56% unfavorable, still not very good, but better than Democrats, and 38% favorability.
00:08:39.000Now, the reason this matters is we've got J.B. Pritzker calling out Democrats.
00:08:42.000We've got AOC getting heckled by Democrats.
00:08:45.000You've got Beto O 'Rourke now slamming Democrats as lazy and weak.
00:08:49.000David Hogg trying to primary Democrats.
00:08:56.000And despite all of the hit pieces, all of the negative press that Trump is facing, he is still more favorable than most, I think, all of the Democrat personnel.
00:09:51.000And it used to be that that kind of stuff was just the domain of the left, right?
00:09:57.000But now they've ceded everything pretty much to conservatives, to the Trump people.
00:10:03.000And that's just a sign of their decline.
00:10:07.000The media is just an arm of the DNC, really, when you break it down.
00:10:12.000I think the Democrats are in a very bad way.
00:10:21.000I don't know about you guys, but for me, since the 20th of December, it's been like Christmas every morning.
00:10:29.000On illegal immigration, which is one of the pillars that Donald Trump was elected on.
00:10:35.000Part of the reason why I think Donald Trump still has a generally positive opinion or favorability is because of his success at the border.
00:10:44.000That was the thing that he made such a big deal about when he first ran in 2016.
00:11:19.000But he is delivering on the things that people really care the most about, and I think that really matters.
00:11:25.000As for the Democrats, whether it's their take on the border or people like Democrats...
00:11:31.000State Senator Scott Wiener in California making remarks like, well, if there's a sex offender registry, that's going to be a bad thing for the LGBT lobby.
00:11:42.000And it's like, well, wait a minute, why?
00:12:28.000I mean, there is nothing that they offer in 2025.
00:12:34.000To that point, I think that it was President Trump, or maybe it wasn't, but it was some Republican talking about the shower heads that people are allowed to buy.
00:12:43.000There is not, and it's because they always use climate change as a reason for telling you what kind of gas, what kind of stove you can have in your home.
00:12:54.000Telling you how much water you can have, how much water your toilet will use.
00:12:58.000Telling you what you can do with your property.
00:13:00.000Telling you what kind of car you can drive.
00:13:02.000Telling you, essentially there's not an aspect of your life that the Democrats don't want to not only control, but make worse decisions.
00:13:52.000If Trump came out in favor of oxygen, they'd hold their breath.
00:13:54.000So that's why they've adopted the back end of every 80-20 issue.
00:13:58.000They're like, let's choose the most unfavorable thing.
00:14:00.000They are survived, in my opinion, largely by boomers.
00:14:03.000And I mean no disrespect to boomers in general.
00:14:06.000What I'm saying is, you look at that poll out of Canada, where they were tracking the election, and it said, you know, what issues do you care about?
00:14:14.000And Gen Z Canadians are like the cost of living, jobs, housing.
00:14:20.000And when you ask the boomers in Canada, they said Trump.
00:14:26.000So this poll came out from Real Clear Politics as well a couple weeks ago.
00:14:30.000All demographics have a net approval of Donald Trump except boomers.
00:14:34.000And it's probably because they're watching cable TV and everybody else is out.
00:14:38.000Everybody else is watching shows like this or getting their news from social media and they're like, okay, I get it.
00:14:42.000Trump's not perfect, but he's all right.
00:14:44.000But if you're watching cable TV, it's the devil.
00:14:47.000We've talked about how the Democrat Party is faceless.
00:14:49.000They don't have a real candidate right now.
00:14:52.000And then Trump is the face of politics in general.
00:14:55.000And I was thinking about when I was at the primary debate in California for the Republicans, Trump wasn't there.
00:15:01.000But his absence was more of a presence than the people on stage.
00:15:36.000President Trump is the embodiment of success and the pursuit of happiness, and that's the stuff that appeals to people.
00:15:43.000That's the stuff that motivates people, having a ladder of opportunity and seeing a man that just thrives, doesn't just survive, no matter what they throw at him.
00:16:44.000And you thought for a minute that the mug shot was going to go down as the most iconic photograph in American history, and then Butler, Pennsylvania happens.
00:19:32.000The only thing that matters is some land far, far away and this one particular war.
00:19:37.000And the reason I'm critical of it is the US is involved in a whole bunch of really bad wars we shouldn't be involved in.
00:19:42.000A whole bunch of bombing campaigns we shouldn't be involved in.
00:19:45.000But AOC, the base they have is a spattering of hyper-focused nut jobs that don't care about this country.
00:19:55.000Don't focus on any of the issues of this country.
00:19:56.000And this is why I believe Democrats are going to struggle to win.
00:20:00.000Now, they may win in the midterms because that's congressional district-based.
00:20:05.000You know, it's going to be one district.
00:20:07.000You only need, what, like two to swing and then Democrats will get their majority.
00:20:11.000So when it comes to 2028, however, I don't know how someone like AOC with that base is going to be able to stand up on a national stage and say, here's what I offer the American people.
00:20:22.000Because if she did try to come out and say something like, let's bring auto manufacturing back, they'd be like, Trump's already doing that.
00:20:28.000And then the left would go, you're a Trumpian!
00:21:14.000Outside of the elections, they're doing way more to gut and rip apart this country.
00:21:20.000Yeah, that's why I was impressed with Marjorie Taylor Greene, what she was saying recently about Trump doing these things, signing these orders, but they're not really codifying it in Congress.
00:22:05.000She's giving away drinks, left, right and centre.
00:22:08.000Her shirt appears to get smaller and your bladder appears to get larger.
00:22:14.000Whether either of those things are true, no man can say.
00:22:18.000The next day she sends a bill to a hard-working American in the Midwest who doesn't even drink, doesn't party and most certainly doesn't hang out in New York City.
00:22:30.000So tell me, is that the kind of person that should be in charge of anything?
00:22:36.000Look, when it comes to the heckler at the AOC, whatever, the town hall or whatever, I think the reason that she stood up and was making a stink about Gaza is because that's the only political issue that she knows.
00:22:51.000And it's typical of the left to turn on itself, especially in a time when they have, there's nothing they can do.
00:22:59.000That person that's heckling AOC, what is it that she expects AOC to do about a conflict that not only has AOC said that she's against, but that when she's only a congressperson, she's not in the Knesset, she's not...
00:24:39.000A hundred years ago, there were men lying about their age to go fight a war internationally.
00:24:45.000Today, you've got 37-year-old millennials lying about their age at a Harry Potter convention, embarrassed they're so old and everyone there is 10 years old.
00:24:55.00037-year-old men lying about their gender so they can go into the fat weight.
00:24:59.000The reason I bring this up is because I'm thinking like, can we survive this?
00:25:04.000You know, and it's funny because people always think, there's a lot of people who think when I say stuff like this, They imagine immediately, like, the Earth is a molten ball of lava.
00:26:14.000But I meet younger people, the exact same position.
00:26:17.000We had a guy on Saturday at the Culture World Live event said, you know, what if you get a president AOC and then she starts doing the things that Trump's doing?
00:28:05.000And Alexis de Tocqueville, the famous French philosopher, he came out here and he said that America is great because America is good.
00:28:13.000If America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
00:28:15.000But he also said in Democracy in America that the true genius of these people, of Americans that he was writing about, are their ability to re-correct a cultural trajectory.
00:29:54.000The example, simple example right now, one simple example.
00:29:58.000You know, one of the things that this kid asked me, and so the Culture World Live, I really do recommend you watch because it is going to be fantastic.
00:30:06.000He's basically saying, why would you give Trump a pass but not Joe Biden?
00:30:11.000Now, trying to explain to a young person who didn't experience the Biden years or, you know, they were here for, but they didn't really pay attention.
00:30:19.000I was explaining, listen, I could go back to everything the Democrats have done over 15 years.
00:30:30.000We can talk about the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.
00:30:33.000We can talk about the Burisma scandal.
00:31:46.000And certainly the Senate won't get through a filibuster.
00:31:48.000So now it just looks like the legislative branch will sit in its hands.
00:31:52.000The judicial branch will obstruct in every possible way.
00:31:56.000And the executive branch will keep trying to do what it wants to do to circumvent the judicial branch.
00:32:02.000What is the means by which we survive this period?
00:32:08.000It's going to get unconstitutional like during the Civil War.
00:32:10.000Abraham Lincoln's going to be like, no habeas corpus for you.
00:32:13.000And then after it clears up, we carry on 300, 400, 500 years or whatever it may be.
00:32:19.000If this doesn't go full conflict, if things simmer down, if we find a path towards organizing everything and stabilizing it.
00:32:27.000There is still the possibility that the Supreme Court will rule.
00:32:32.000The right way on these nationwide injunctions.
00:32:36.000Again, it is something that both, you know, liberal and conservative justices have mentioned.
00:32:42.000Kagan said that this isn't what the founders intended.
00:32:46.000Clearly the conservative justices would say, no, we don't want to see this.
00:32:50.000Honestly, I could see, I wouldn't be shocked if it was, you know, seven to two when it comes down to whether or not these district courts have the authority to.
00:33:01.000To prevent the president from doing what he was actually elected to do.
00:33:06.000This is something that I harp on, but, like, the president of the United States is the only political officer that is elected by the whole of the electorate.
00:33:16.000Like, all Americans vote on the president.
00:33:18.000Congress is voted on only by their district.
00:33:20.000The Senate is only voted on by the people in their states.
00:33:22.000So the only person that's elected by the whole of the country is the president.
00:33:26.000There was a clear message sent to the...
00:33:30.000To the government that the American people wanted a different type of government than what we had with Joe Biden.
00:33:37.000Based on the fact that we wanted to have...
00:33:41.000They wanted to stop having the illegal immigration and they wanted to have the illegal citizens or the illegal immigrants that are here sent back.
00:33:51.000And all of these judges that are trying to inhibit that, they're trying to inhibit the will of the people and that has to stop.
00:34:16.000If there is one thing that people involved in politics in the Republican conservative side all across the country should be pouring their effort into right now, it is efforts to impeach these judges and find Yes,
00:35:30.000The Republicans in Congress exist to obstruct Trump intentionally.
00:35:35.000It is the deep state stopgap to be like, when Trump, you know, when the Republicans win, the Republican Congress is largely a decentralized structure and we will make sure Trump can't do anything.
00:39:12.000She told him to F off, then called him a slur.
00:39:14.000He then posts the video trying to cancel her.
00:39:17.000She then launches a give-send-go saying, give me money.
00:39:20.000Now Matt Walsh came out and said, she made half a million, I hope she gets half a million more.
00:39:24.000The only way to stop cancel culture is to show that it backfires, and it absolutely is.
00:39:29.000But there is something interesting in the comments as to why this woman is receiving so much money.
00:39:34.000The narrative for many young guys, the view that many young people—don't get me wrong, there's older white guys who feel this way too—but a lot of these Gen Z guys grew up in a society that you were told, if you're white, you're an oppressor.
00:39:49.000Minorities are allowed to insult you based on your race.
00:40:47.000I think what we're seeing now is a backlash to this white guilt, a social order, where for the longest time, celebrities, black celebrities could make fun of white people.
00:41:00.000White people were supposed to just laugh.
00:41:03.000Young guys don't understand why that is, why they have to be made fun of, insulted, when they can't get jobs, when they can't get universities, or they can't get a university.
00:41:12.000They're struggling to make ends meet while being told they're oppressors.
00:41:15.000So finally, suddenly this happens and the dam breaks.
00:41:19.000And this is what, you know, I was talking to Carl Benjamin earlier.
00:41:24.000We had all warned about this 10 years ago, that if you promote racial identitarianism like the left had been doing, it's only a matter of time before white people find the exact same path.
00:41:32.000And they say, then if you're going to insult us, attack us.
00:42:09.000But yeah, look, I mean, the fact of the matter is, just like Tim said and like Carl said and like Jordan Peterson has said and like I've said, you can't play the racial identity game and expect the people that you're attacking with that weapon to not engage in the game.
00:42:29.000And Peterson actually made it, was really clear about it.
00:42:34.000You're going to attack young white men, and those young white men are going to say, I don't want to...
00:42:41.000Not only am I willing to play your game, because I don't have the guilt that, say, Gen X or Boomers have, but not only am I willing to play your game, but I'm going to play it to win.
00:42:51.000And so it's not like the young people are going to be worried about if you call them names, you call them racist or whatever.
00:44:32.000But at the end of the day, I mean, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
00:44:39.000Before Black Lives Matter, race relations were pretty stable, but the BLM movement just ripped an absolute hole in things and exposed all of the many failings that have added up ever since the failure of LBJ's Great Society.
00:44:57.000If white people are angry, I mean, ask yourselves why.
00:45:00.000The marginalisation created by BLM is one.
00:45:06.000Affirmative action in all its forms is another.
00:45:09.000And the entitlement culture that LBJ created is yet another.
00:45:14.000I mean, the race war has been like a government dream for a long time.
00:45:18.000If you've read Chaos, the book Chaos about Helter Skelter being like a made-up idea from the prosecutor and Bugliosi, not really a Charles Manson thing.
00:45:25.000Like, they kind of obsess over this idea of pitting the races against each other.
00:45:29.000Well, the NAACP launched a fundraiser for the child.
00:45:33.000And they've closed it now with $341,594 raised.
00:45:38.000So one of the narratives here is that Carmelo Anthony stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf.
00:46:11.000And they wanted to support him for that reason.
00:46:13.000So when this story then comes out, a lot of white people said, we're going to stand by her.
00:46:19.000This is a white person being threatened because now this is the beast that has been awoken by DEI.
00:46:26.000In response, you're seeing these people, these...
00:46:30.000What's the right way to describe these people, the has-been IDW types, that haven't had any relevance, that they've been struggling with viewership, so they keep complaining about the woke right?
00:46:39.000They're now pointing, it's been like, aha, see, this proves it, and it's like, do you not understand?
00:46:48.000This is not the emergence of an old-school Klan white identitarian group.
00:46:52.000This is a reaction to a far-left that is not seeking to maintain the system, it's seeking to destroy it.
00:46:59.000But of course, that's the only thing they have to say when they try to get views.
00:47:03.000Seeing how they've raised all this money, Carmelo Anthony, then Shiloh Hendricks, and now even the kid, I only see escalation in this regard.
00:47:12.000Yeah, the race wars and who wants to be a millionaire?
00:47:54.000I hope she gets more money so that people realize if you want to play cancel culture, we will reverse the script on you and it'll backfire.
00:48:42.000Hunting down Gen Sixers, denying access to evidence from the Capitol, 44,000 hours of footage, falsely charging many of them under the obstruction statute, which the Supreme Court struck down, and people who were walking around the property, clueless about any right, getting charged as well.
00:48:58.000And now, now Trump is in, and these IDW has-beens are going, stop trying to win, and just let them trample your rights.
00:50:07.000That was something, I don't want to spoil the show from the culture war, but one of the people kept saying, oh, you know, the norms and this is bad, it's a slippery slope and blah, blah, blah.
00:50:19.000And it's like, that's such a ridiculous argument because the norms have all been violated multiple times.
00:50:30.000Donald Trump isn't talking about doing it.
00:50:31.000Well, I think that Donald Trump should actually do things like that to get rid of the illegal aliens.
00:50:38.000But the idea that if Donald Trump does something that pushes the boundaries of the Constitution, that means the whole country is going to fall apart.
00:50:48.000That's ridiculous histrionic BS meant to freeze people and prevent people from taking action.
00:50:54.000Donald Trump needs to take action to...
00:50:57.000To do the things that he was elected to do.
00:51:00.000Joe Biden was spraying oil and grease onto the slope.
00:51:05.000He was just hosing it away with a big old fire hose full of grease.
00:52:25.000So I am laying down my figurative sword and I'm going to retire.
00:52:29.000The Democrats will turn this country into a Chinese Communist Party-style government.
00:52:36.000If Trump says, I will do everything in my power to maintain and stabilize this Republican form of government, Democrats are going to say, then we're going to run up you.
00:52:47.000We're going to drive this to the ends of the earth.
00:53:16.000Yeah, look, I think the scariest part for me, it's all scary, but the scariest part for me is definitely now what the courts are doing, because no president since Andrew Jackson.
00:53:27.000has faced so much adversity from the courts.
00:53:33.000The courts are seeking to undermine the constitutional role of a commander-in-chief.
00:53:40.000It is not lawfare through litigation like we saw the last four years.
00:53:45.000It is lawfare through arbitrary and overly broad rulings that are intended to weaken the position of the president for one reason and one reason alone.
00:53:57.000President Trump's view on crime and illegal immigration in particular go against the deep-seated ideology of many of these far-left.
00:54:06.000Judges who are legislating from the bench.
00:54:09.000And like I said before, they should be impeached because they will destroy everything if given the opportunity.
00:54:16.000And I think we fight it by the off-ramp is fighting it with organized campaigns to impeach these judges.
00:54:24.000I mean, Soros has done it for his side.
00:54:27.000We cannot be passive and allow the forces that hate President Trump, to your point, Tim, And hate America to continue winning.
00:57:05.000Let's write a constitution that guarantees the freedoms of the people and does all these things.
00:57:09.000Well, over a long enough period of time, for whatever reason, you end up with half the population being psychotic, deranged, histrionic narcissists who will simultaneously disparage and insult Christians and then claim to be them and get mad at Donald Trump over a joke.
00:57:27.000No matter what Trump does, it's wrong, and they want to cause damage to this country.
00:57:33.000You've got Democrats, the media, simultaneously saying, Donald Trump deported a two-year-old American citizen.
00:57:40.000The mother was deported, and she wanted the child to go with her.
00:58:00.000What I see here is this is how you end up having the pendulum swing the other way.
00:58:04.000People who want to live in a functional society where we can live, work, and have merit, and people don't break the law, and they're not stealing from each other, are now looking at the freedoms, and I'll put them in air quotes, these tenets.
00:58:22.000And how it's led to the Democrat Party, how they've let criminals go from prisons, how they've terrorized neighborhoods, destroyed businesses, and now you're starting to see people beg for an authoritarian, it's the other way around.
00:58:34.000People having meetings being like, this, anybody live and let live, can do whatever they want, isn't working.
00:59:21.000Yeah, look, I mean, again, just talking about this Pope thing, I mean, I think one of the reasons the left is so dangerous is that they are entirely bereft also of humour, right?
00:59:36.000When Trump first answered this question on the lawn of the White House, I laughed my head off.
00:59:43.000They said, you know, Mr. President, who do you want as Pope?
00:59:50.000I mean, his comedic timing, the way he uses humour, which, by the way, to our earlier conversation, is one of his very effective techniques.
01:00:47.000When Trump was bowing, when Trump was largely out of the spotlight around 2022, and Ron DeSantis was emerging on the scene as a major player, they started writing articles saying, Ron DeSantis is worse than Trump.
01:00:59.000They were prepared for the histrionics immediately, and then Trump came back and they backed off.
01:01:41.000I mean, if it was people like Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema, those people, I disagree with them on a lot of stuff, but they weren't like sitting there just saying, look, how do I get...
01:01:52.000How do I get an angle to introduce articles of impeachment?
01:02:06.000There's only like two bills that they get through a year.
01:02:08.000And they're always massive omnibus bills.
01:02:11.000So they're not in there actually doing any kind of voting or doing any kind of service for the people.
01:02:16.000They're in there literally only trying to make money for themselves through insider trading or raise their own celebrity so that way when they get out of Congress they can get another job.
01:03:56.000There were several channels that produced AI-generated Trump stories.
01:04:00.000One of them that went viral was Carolyn Levitt was wearing a cross necklace while sitting on the plane and the pilot demanded she take it off.
01:04:07.000It was a nonsense story, but it got millions of views.
01:05:31.000I think it's time to get back to basics.
01:05:38.000Tim, and given that it's your show, I won't use aristocratic language like calling him a count without the O, but certainly this is exactly the kind of person that is completely and totally unhelpful.
01:05:59.000In our future, in terms of sowing division, you know, the free marketplace of ideas work so long as we don't resort to fraud.
01:06:08.000And this guy, just from the titles, the captions of his videos, he's lying.
01:07:08.000The dude who is actually fomenting division with slop content has a massive channel with hundreds of millions of views and he's probably a millionaire.
01:07:17.000And so the issue I see with this is, civically, how does our country survive if this becomes political discourse?
01:07:28.000He brags about how many views he gets off his stuff.
01:07:30.000Well, at least we know who ABC is going to replace Jimmy Kimmel with.
01:07:34.000Look, at the end of the day, Tim, for me, my guideline is the First Amendment.
01:07:40.000Now, maybe that's going to work against us in some ways, but I think overall, when it all kind of pans out, that's the only option we have and that's the best course of action that we have.
01:07:57.000Right now, as it pertains to the First and Second Amendments that have not been answered, and I don't think people want to answer because they're scared to answer.
01:08:06.000I've had many Republican politicians come on this show, and I ask them, is the Second Amendment absolute?
01:09:19.000But what I'm saying is the law prohibits the government from banning them.
01:09:23.000And it is also important to point out that private organizations, private companies do have nuclear weapons.
01:09:28.000As far as the free speech goes, I'm largely in favor of it.
01:09:31.000But I am recognizing the problem of when you have people who use fraud and psychological manipulation to trick people into thinking false things politically so they can profit off of it, your country will die.
01:09:46.000Especially when this guy is getting four times the viewership of Joe Rogan.
01:11:07.000Sean Frasic, who runs our social strategy here, was talking about how when he goes through all the monologues for Colbert and Kimmel, it's no different than Brian Tyler Cohen.
01:12:42.000Freedom of speech means freedom to live in perfect peace after speech, so long as it is protected by the First Amendment.
01:12:50.000That's one of the reasons why I started my group 1A Warriors, to give civil rights protections to those who suffer from both private and public sector retribution.
01:14:46.000Donald Trump built the ice skating rink in Central Park ridiculously quickly, more quickly than anyone ever thought was possible.
01:14:55.000So if there's one guy, Tim, and I agree with you, it's going to take a lot, but if there's one guy that can defy the odds and get it done in time more quickly than what we think, it's him.
01:16:46.000He has that television mindset, you know, when you think about it, when he met up with Zelensky there in the Vatican and he's just got all of these, you know, he knows the images that conjure in people's minds.
01:17:01.000And this is literally going to chill the bones and freeze the sweat.
01:17:28.000We need prisons with bad people inside them.
01:17:31.000Because our cities are overflowing with violent, insane people.
01:17:34.000I agree with that, but if you're right that there's going to be a massive amount of lawsuits and there's going to be all kinds of red tape that he has to go through because it is a historical site or whatever, just send him to Guantanamo.
01:18:01.000Like I said, the point that you're making that we need prisons to hold these people is true, and if there's going to be all kinds of red tape that has to be dealt with, and there's going to be all sorts of lawsuits, we do need to have somewhere to put these people, so send them to Guam.
01:18:19.000If he wants to go ahead and continue to do it, if he wants to try and do it while...
01:18:24.000While you're waiting, just send them to...
01:18:25.000Can you imagine the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Alcatraz?
01:19:33.000I mean, it is again that part trolling on the part of Trump that is just going to send these guys nuts.
01:19:43.000But I think it sends all the right messages.
01:19:46.000It shows that America is back open for business, literally.
01:19:51.000And that we are the can-do country because crime is destroying this country along with illegal immigration.
01:19:59.000Yeah, I mean, look, anything that needs to happen to take care of the illegal immigration situation and get the illegal immigrants out of the U.S. fills down.
01:21:31.000It is arguably a power of the legislative branch.
01:21:33.000And when Abraham Lincoln unilaterally suspended habeas corpus two years later, I think it was two years later, Congress said, okay, we're going to retroactively make that legit, which is stupid.
01:21:44.000They basically just said you're allowed to do it, which is nuts.
01:21:47.000But I do want to mention this one super chair real quick from Sky Whitaker.
01:21:50.000He said, Tim, not everything needs to be cutting edge tech.
01:21:52.000Sometimes tried and true antiquated is less problematic.
01:22:30.000And I was just thinking to myself, like, this format of game, this, you know, very simple top-down game, major studios have all gone 3D, open world, all of this stuff.
01:22:41.000And I'm like, you could just literally take that game.
01:22:45.000Make some new dungeons and a new map, same graphics and everything, and it would be a good game people would want to play.
01:22:52.000The fact that technology is advanced does not mean we need to use the most advanced technology.
01:22:58.000Tim, I would argue it's the same with movies.
01:23:01.000I mean, movies in the 90s, like you look at the first Die Hard, right?
01:23:04.000they were shooting the glass because he was barefoot and he had to pull the glass out of his feet.
01:23:08.000By the fourth Die Hard, which was 10 or 15 years after the original, he was somersaulting over semis.
01:23:16.000Because the special effects and all of those technological advances had made people not focus on the plot, not focus on the character development, and instead all the emphasis went on making it as visually spectacularly as possible.
01:25:59.000This isn't the first time we've seen this.
01:26:00.000We had a couple of videos we played earlier.
01:26:02.000Where you've got like a robot dog on a chain like lunging at people.
01:26:06.000And that was probably programmed to do it.
01:26:07.000But then you got this other video where a humanoid robot was in a rock concert and it lunged at a woman in the crowd and they all like freak out.
01:26:14.000We are not yet at the point where the AI has become self-aware and is trying to kill humans.
01:28:33.000Look, the Chinese do not have the same moral foundation that Westerners do.
01:28:41.000They just don't look at life the same.
01:28:43.000I was just looking at the dire wolf clones and then looking at the CRISPR technology and then looking at a Chinese scientist who did jail time in China.
01:31:25.000And this caused like a major freak out for everybody because it basically means you will own nothing.
01:31:29.000If we're a service-based economy and people are largely producing entertainment content like kids or influencers, owning no IP means you're gone.
01:31:38.000That means we could record an episode of IRL and then literally everyone will just repost it and we'll all get pennies.
01:31:44.000So that degree of communism means the show stops, doesn't exist.
01:31:49.000If anyone can just steal and post it wherever they want and we can't make money doing it, we don't make the show.
01:31:54.000But if they make AI, it won't matter anymore because everybody will just be AI generating random stuff and trying to get tips for it or something.
01:32:03.000In the meantime, as we are restricting the use of, you know, with IP laws of people to take content, China is just stealing all our stuff.
01:32:38.000And this is going to mean, whether or not, like, I know there are a lot of people that talk about, like, oh, America's the greatest, and we have all these advantages and stuff, and there are a lot of advantages that the U.S. does have.
01:32:52.000But in the future, if you're not as ruthless as your opponent, your opponent's going to win.
01:32:57.000Yeah, was it R. McIntyre said the person who wants to win will always beat the person who wants to be left alone?
01:33:09.000Look, I mean, one thing that maybe we can learn from the past is that with the space race, when we were so determined to beat the Soviet Union, we changed the curriculum in schools to focus on mathematics and science.
01:33:29.000Now, are we capable of a shift like that today?
01:33:34.000No, because we have too many teachers that think that kids need to learn about gay race communism.
01:35:20.000I mean, it's a—the Chinese are a serious threat, and if the American people don't see that, you know?
01:35:28.000You know, I would just go out and assume that the U.S. is running black ops and doing these experiments anyway and building the AI regardless.
01:35:36.000Yeah, I'd imagine that they're stealing all our IP to build—the rumor is, conspiracy theories, they've already got artificial general intelligence.
01:35:48.000And it's just being locked up because the fear is it's advanced too quickly and a release to the public will be a culture shock, which can be devastating to the economy.
01:35:58.000That is, the amount of jobs that will be lost by the release of this technology in expert-level math, for instance, these kinds of things, even medical professions, we'd be screwed over.
01:36:46.000And it'll also be more, it's going to be better at diagnosing because AI right now can diagnose cancers and stuff like that better than people can usually.
01:36:55.000That was one of the scary things for me with the Stargate thing was the AI creating 48 hour, vaccines in 48 hours, personalized mRNA stuff.
01:37:05.000That's how much better when it's bespoke.
01:37:08.000I'll tell you guys right now, there is really cool stuff with this.
01:37:11.000The Neuralink curing paralysis is amazing, repairing it, like connecting severed nerves.
01:37:16.000But one of the things they've been working on is...
01:37:20.000Now, there's a terrible nightmare dystopian component of this.
01:37:24.000Once they have everybody's medical data, and not even necessarily everybody's, but maybe just 100 million files, blood work, histories, the AI is going to be able to predict if you will get cancer.
01:37:39.000I was talking to some people working on this, and they said, one drop of your blood, and they're going to map out your whole body.
01:37:46.000The AI is going to be able to tell you what cancers you're susceptible to, genetic disorders, and they can craft bespoke medications on the spot, on the fly.
01:37:54.000And on the flip side, personalized bioweapons.
01:40:02.000Six by six apartment sitting on your hundred dollar futon.
01:40:04.000But when you put that headset on, you're in a big, beautiful place with a PlayStation and video games and you pretend like you're playing it.
01:44:14.000The thing, I mean, all they need to do is focus on actually reducing regulation and make the tax cuts permanent.
01:44:24.000And Congress, like, I don't know if Congress is actually going to, that's not Trump doing it, that would be Congress, and I don't know if they're going to actually get it done or not.
01:44:30.000The Democrats don't want it, which is insane to me, but if they can get the tax cuts through, make those permanent, and then start to really, really cut back on the regulation, the red tape and stuff, you'll see the economy start to really boom again.
01:44:47.000Portside Politics is, hey, Tim, I just published my first book, and I was hoping for a shout-out.
01:46:10.000And magazines were intentionally attacking rollerblading.
01:46:12.000At the same time, what I've heard is that the it rollerbladers, the in guys that were pros were very disrespectful to youth and treated them poorly.
01:46:22.000And so in order for any culture to survive, the first priority has to be to get kids excited Mm-hmm.
01:46:53.000Concrete Haiti says, with a psychopath like Carney SPM threatening violence against native Canadians, should we welcome Alberta and Saskatchewan in as states?
01:48:53.000Then they fell in love because she was engaged to some other guy.
01:48:58.000And then the second one is he comes over to New York where she's from, where she lives.
01:49:07.000Gets mixed up with some bad people, and then they chase him back to Australia, and then he's in his own backyard, so he's able to trap him and whatever else.
01:49:17.000And then the third one, which is the worst in the series, or the weakest in the series, plays in Los Angeles.
01:49:45.000But always make sure to smash the like button.
01:49:47.000Share the show with everyone you know.
01:49:50.000We've been consistently hitting the third biggest live show in the country.
01:49:53.000And there are challenges in discussing all these numbers and metrics.
01:49:57.000So I do want to make sure I shout out.
01:50:00.000When I'm talking about Joe Rogan's numbers versus that Brian guy, other channels, I am trying to show that people have attention on one area, but it is fair to say that the average person probably watches Rogan more than they watch some of these other political channels.
01:50:16.000Because you might put out six videos and get five million views, but what are they watching for four minutes each?
01:50:22.000Whereas with Rogan, they're probably watching for an hour on that one video.
01:50:30.000This live show with like seven, eight hundred thousand views per night.
01:50:35.000Like, shout out to Rumble, because since we did the deal with Rumble and joined up and have been multi-streaming, our viewership more than doubled.
01:51:57.000I've also heard from other people in the admin where they were like, we were just trying to let the influencers know we're working on it and we're going to give them some binders.
01:52:08.000And then when they got shuffled out, they didn't realize what was going to happen because the press was there for a press briefing.
01:52:15.000And so they accidentally threw everyone out in front of the cameras, creating a big moment they didn't want to have.
01:52:20.000And I could believe that because the question people kept asking is, why is Pam Bonney making this story so big?
01:52:27.000And it's like, maybe it was an accident.
01:52:30.000Maybe she went on TV and she was on Hannity, I think.
01:52:47.000So then when the influencers came, she was like, I'm going to give you what I got.
01:52:49.000And then when they're walking out the door, the press is there, and they all start posing in front of the cameras, making the store even bigger.
01:52:55.000So I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mistake.
01:56:04.000And then as I was about to ask the question, Carolyn Levitt throws to this journalist who's like been there for 44 years and they all clap for and cheer and I'm like, oof.
01:56:12.000Like I came in here to throw shade and everyone's cheering for the journalists.
01:56:55.000I'm just like, hey, you know, let me know when you guys are good.
01:56:57.000And so they had a big event and I was talking to some of the people after the fact and they said, everyone there just assumes you don't want to travel.
01:57:03.000And I was like, tell them I will travel for these events.
01:57:06.000And so then they invited me to a bunch.
01:58:54.000They just took Bill Clinton and, like, made him, like, just, you know, exaggerated everything.
01:58:58.000But it was funny because there's a scene in the movie where they sit down at an event, and then Will Ferrell's character is like, he's like, I want to play this video about my opponent here.
01:59:09.000And it's just a smear campaign, and it's all lies.
01:59:12.000You know, that movie's actually really good.
01:59:14.000I recommend you guys watch that movie.
02:01:45.000So when they're like, Mr. President, your deportations are being blocked, he need only say, quote, I've been talking with Elon Musk and SpaceX about possibly sending some people to the moon or maybe Mars.
02:06:22.000I should launch a new podcast where I just find the craziest motherfuckers to say the stupidest shit and just treat it as seriously as possible.
02:08:30.000Because the problem with that idea of the multiverse and infinity, it only, that idea, doesn't work because we can imagine multiversal travel.
02:08:41.000But unless it's being kept from us by the government somehow, or we're the one universe that can't be interacted with, you know what I mean?
02:09:10.000I don't remember exactly what they said, but basically this guy had found, you know the big Russian sub that has two bottom pontoons, which wasn't a traditional sub design, and he told them that, and they were like, haha, BS, no way, and then later they found the sub design with the two big holes, and that's how they say they claimed it.
02:09:24.000This is the guy, the same guy that remote viewed Mars.
02:10:32.000And again, like we were talking about, like, with China, like, it may be far-fetched, but if it's at all possible and someone else figures out how to do it, you're behind the eight ball.
02:10:44.000I believe that's what was happening, actually.
02:10:45.000Russia, I think they got word of Russia doing it.
