On this week's episode of The Weekly Standard, host Tim Pool is joined by Alex Blumberg to talk about the latest in politics, including the election of Andrew Cuomo as mayor of New York City, a potential drone strike on Venezuela, and the latest on the Boston Marathon bombings. Plus, a look ahead to this weekend's live taping of the Culture War at the DC Comedy Loft.
00:03:08.000I am trading on Cuomo winning personally.
00:03:11.000Not something I typically do, but the data internally in New York not only shows in the polling data, it's neck and neck and Cuomo really could win, but according to Kalshi, Cuomo is actually the favorite inside of New York.
00:03:27.000Outside of New York, Mamdani is the favorite nine to one.
00:03:31.000So we don't know exactly what's going to happen.
00:03:33.000I think it's fair to say that Mamdani does win, but it is not a sure thing.
00:03:38.000Now, Barack Obama is refusing to endorse, which is interesting.
00:03:59.000We've got fear of war with Trump talking about sending in drones and military against cartels, a potential strike on Venezuela, and this story that is kind of crazy, an explosion at Harvard.
00:04:10.000It may be nothing, but considering the escalation of political violence, as I said this morning, to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
00:04:16.000Now, I'm not saying this is a guarantee that's political violence, but as long as we don't know what's going on, we'll talk about this the same as we'll talk about any other act in such a way with the caveat of maybe it's nothing.
00:04:29.000Maybe it's two ski-masked individuals who set up a bomb for no reason at all.
00:05:37.000We also, my friends, on this weekend, click the link in the description below.
00:05:42.000Actually, I don't know if I have the link in just yet.
00:05:44.000The Culture War Live on Saturday, debating modern dating.
00:05:49.000How would you guys in the audience like to come up and join the debate stage?
00:05:53.000We will be having this live taping of the Culture War at the DC Comedy Loft in Washington, D.C. You've got preferred seating and general admission.
00:06:19.000And if you make an interesting point, you'll be invited onto the stage to debate all of us.
00:06:25.000We are going to be having Myron Gaines, Brian Shapiro, Alex Stein, me.
00:06:29.000Emily Saves America is calling out sick.
00:06:33.000I can't say just who we have yet, but we are talking to some prominent liberal personalities, which will make this show spicy and entertaining.
00:06:41.000And it's looking like we have a good probability that it does happen.
00:09:45.000Well, I mean, this is my life is, do you like, look at how corrupt the liberal economic order is.
00:09:51.000And then, you know what the option is is communism.
00:09:54.000And I'm like, bro, I don't want communism, but I'm not voting for corrupt corporatocracy.
00:09:58.000Same way with Cuomo, who put elderly people from nursing homes or put them in nursing homes during COVID and got a bunch of people COVID patients in nursing homes and killed 15,000 elderly people.
00:11:50.000I mean, I don't think that it's realistic to think that any kind of Republican can win in any kind of, you know, modern Republican can win in New York.
00:12:00.000I feel like what's going on in the city is similar to what's going on in the U.K., right?
00:12:05.000Like even the people in the U.K. that are considered conservative would be considered Democrats by the U.S. standards, right?
00:12:12.000None of them actually say things like that would be considered conservative by U.S. standards.
00:12:16.000None of them want a smaller government.
00:13:07.000It's like New York's like a city-state back in the day.
00:13:09.000It was a big way of governance back in the day before countries got kicking, before technology and roads and writing and paperwork and all that.
00:13:16.000But city-states, New York's like a city-state.
00:13:18.000If you ever go live there, you can go into the city and never leave for seven years.
00:13:31.000And this actually, this is in the 1800s.
00:13:33.000It was Vanderbilt controlled all the men who made America, you know, the richest man in America, controlled the railroads and decided one day, we're not going to ship food into New York anymore and held the government by the balls.
00:13:42.000And there's a big part of the reason why they started like antitrust breaking up monopolies because these corporations can get way too powerful.
00:13:49.000Living in a city, you garner a different mindset because you really are reliant on like your protector to make sure that the guy doesn't snap and stab you.
00:13:58.000You just can't, it's hard to take care of yourself in the city.
00:14:01.000If you shoot and the bullet misses and hits somebody else, you're liable.
00:14:07.000Now in New York, I mean, this has been this way in New York for a long time.
00:14:09.000Luke Rakowski had that video from like a decade ago where a guy went on a stabbing rampage in the subway and the cops were like, we are under no obligation to save lives.
00:14:19.000And so they stood back and watched as a dude was stabbing people and some passenger intervened and stopped this murderous dude.
00:14:25.000And then after subduing the guy and this dude gets all stabbed up, the cops intervene.
00:14:29.000And apparently there was a lawsuit over and the courts ruled.
00:14:43.000He has more sympathy for the murderers than for the children that get murdered.
00:14:47.000Did he say why he wanted to release the criminals?
00:14:48.000He said he went to Rikers and the day you visited, someone killed themselves, took their own life because of the torturous conditions of Rikers.
00:14:56.000Fix the conditions, maybe, but don't forget.
00:14:58.000And so he said he wants new borough jails in every borough and that he would close down Rikers and release these inmates.
00:15:04.000But while he tries to defend himself on the campaign trail now saying, I'm not for releasing all these prisoners, he has in the past said crime is a social construct.
00:15:13.000We need criminal deferral programs instead, where instead of going to jail, you get released with an ankle monitor or something.
00:15:19.000And he's called for replacing cops as social workers and defunding the police.
00:16:50.000And it's why you need affordable housing to make the cities work, right?
00:16:53.000So, you know, historically, it's been Democrat-run, very left-leaning in the city.
00:16:58.000And the people, the service is there for the people that need it.
00:17:00.000You know, the people that are less fortunate that are out there, you know, begging for money and panhandling.
00:17:06.000That's where the people are going to be.
00:17:08.000So that's where they kind of congregate, right?
00:17:10.000Man, I'm thinking about Shea's rebellion after the American government was formed.
00:17:14.000And basically, the farmers, after they went off and fought the revolution, they came back and they owed all this debt because they hadn't been able to run their farms to the cities.
00:17:22.000And the city's like, we don't want your soft currency anymore.
00:17:26.000We need money because we need to pay back the French.
00:17:28.000So they try to take money from the farmers that they didn't have.
00:17:31.000And the farmers just revolted and went to the city and like stood outside courthouses, basically ready to serve a real revolution again because the cities were trying to control the outlying territory.
00:17:43.000Probably since the dawn of man, that's been happening.
00:17:45.000They congregate, they get centralized power, and then they try and take over everything else.
00:17:51.000I don't want to talk out of hand about the Chinese because I don't really know how they're doing their central planning, but with the right technology, you can sort of try and take over your environment.
00:18:01.000Well, I mean, Trent has a really good job, or China has done a really good job of intruding into just about every aspect of the Chinese people's lives.
00:18:20.000Apparently, Soros is accused of funneling some 40 million or whatever through various NGOs that propped up Mom Dani.
00:18:26.000I am not convinced he is popular as people outside of New York think he is.
00:18:29.000And so there's a lot of questions about this election, not just the polling, but the question of whether or not the Democrat machine will allow these far leftists to actually take over.
00:18:42.000Well, I mean, this is a conversation that we've had a lot, right?
00:18:45.000The kind of the energy of the base is with the far left, but the Democrats have had as much influence and success as they have because they've been getting donations from people that are, you know, left-leaning, but they're capitalists.
00:19:36.000Yeah, but the Democrats are with the civil war that's going on in the Democrat Party.
00:19:41.000They're trying to figure out if they're going to have the support of these billionaires that were Democrats or if they're going to continue to leave the Democrat Party because the Democrat Party is becoming more hostile to people that have money.
00:19:56.000The more the Democrats focus on class warfare, the less actual big donors they're going to have because those people are going to be like, well, I'm, I mean, I want to give money to Democrats because it makes me feel good because they're the nice party, but I'm not going to give money to Democrats if they're going to make policies like, you know, you have to pay a wealth tax every year on whatever money or whatever assets you have.
00:20:20.000That's a good point because if the liberal economic order is really a corporatocracy, which it seems like it's run by corporate giants, they don't want to empower a communist or a socialist because that guy will try and take away power from corporations and give it to the state.
00:20:33.000So I can only imagine that they don't want him to be mayor, but maybe they want just the U.S. to fall.
00:20:40.000I'm thinking about like global money power, like Bank for International settlements, bankers.
00:20:45.000They want the U.S. to fumble so that a new system, a corporatocracy with a technocracy can come in through the World Economic Forum, corporate governance.
00:20:52.000They would like to see the U.S. fail, but I don't know if installing a guy that's semi-communist, socialist, I don't know what is how he finds it.
00:21:16.000The New York City mayor election has got Zoran Mamdani at 90%, Andrew Cuomo at 11%, and Curtis Liwa at one, which of course is greater than 100% for whatever reason.
00:21:28.000And I will say this: full disclosure at this today: I traded in, I purchased shares of yes for Andrew Cuomo, the independent, for two big reasons.
00:21:40.000First is this: from Caul She breaking Cuomo holds significantly more support inside of NYC than Mamdani per Kaul Shi data.
00:21:50.000What you are seeing in the Caul Shi trading data, 90% for Mamdani, these are people who are purchasing shares, meaning they are predicting Zoran wins.
00:23:18.000My argument is actually the corrupt Wall Street machine ain't going to let a communist win in New York City and screw up all their beautiful gains.
00:23:28.000It's going to come down to voter turnout.
00:24:34.000$100 of yes will net you like a grand.
00:24:38.000So I'm like, hey, you know, probably going to lose.
00:24:44.000Also, it's kind of nuts how you can basically just, I don't want to say bet, but trade on literally anything.
00:24:50.000I will also give a shout out to Call She.
00:24:51.000They do sponsor the show when we shot them out and their predictions.
00:24:55.000But I do think it's incredibly insightful to track what people in this country are thinking.
00:25:00.000And here's what I was thinking about it.
00:25:02.000These people who are purchasing on Call Sheet, they're not randomly buying.
00:25:07.000These are people who are researching their trades because they truly believe an event is going to happen.
00:25:13.000And you could see it today in one of the markets, which was SNAP benefits getting delayed.
00:25:17.00098% said yes before announcement was even made.
00:25:22.000And then they announced Trump is delaying and reducing benefits, which the market accurately predicted because people are betting to make money.
00:25:33.000I will say, however, it's pretty crazy because there are always people who buy the long shots.
00:25:38.000And so if you wager on Zoron, like $100, you win like two bucks.
00:25:51.000I mean, if you got $100 to spare instead of wagering on Mom Dani, you should buy like some kind of stock that's doing well or something because that'll probably get you a little more profit than two bucks.
00:26:03.000Well, the question I got for you guys is: who's the establishment candidate?
00:26:06.000Zoran, the new establishment candidate, or is it still Cuomo?
00:26:13.000I do think that there's going to be significant pushback against Mom Dani.
00:26:19.000Even if he wins, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to be working against whatever his policy, you know, whatever policies he's trying to implement in New York, because there's a lot of people with a lot of money that don't want to see the kind of taxation that Mom Dani would be likely to implement.
00:26:36.000It's already super expensive to live in New York.
00:26:38.000There's already a municipal tax for living in New York.
00:26:41.000The people that make money in New York, I don't think that there's like a New York income tax, is there?
00:26:57.000But I mean, like, you know, I mean, I don't imagine that the people that are making a lot, you know, the people that make a lot of money are going to be, are going to look too fondly on that.
00:27:05.000You have to definitely not going to be like, oh, I want to get out of here right away.
00:27:07.000I think they're going to try to use their resources and their connections to try to limit his ability to implement his policy.
00:27:14.000You have the highest income tax combo rate in New York City for the entire country because they've got federal, state, and city income tax.
00:27:24.000And I think the city income tax is like 3% or something.
00:27:27.000And so it's just nuts how much money they take from you.
00:27:31.000It was funny because he's like, we're going to make the buses faster and we're going to make them free.
00:27:35.000And I was talking to my wife earlier because we're watching the news and she's like, has Zoran mentioned where the money is going to come from for making the buses free?
00:29:30.000But the guys up in Rochester, they're flipping out like this is the accelerationist part of my brain, but like maybe it would be good if Mom Dami became, I was going to say president, mayor.
00:30:07.000In Toronto during COVID, you know, people started working from home and they said, hey, we're going to move a couple hours outside the city of Toronto.
00:30:14.000And they're buying places and they're leaving.
00:30:46.000But like, I think I feel like in New Jersey, like that part of 95 in New Jersey smells uniquely bad because of the oil refinery and stuff that are going on there.
00:30:55.000So look, I'm not particularly a fan of New Jersey.
00:30:59.000I was just getting hell from Michael Knowles on X because I was making jokes about New Jersey.
00:32:21.000Yeah, they're getting basically this stuff for free.
00:32:25.000I mean, if people give you free, you're going to love the guy.
00:32:27.000And I remember during, I forget, I was down the southern border when I forget what station was interviewing the people coming across the border, the immigrants coming across, and they're saying, who would you vote for?
00:32:37.000And they're going, oh, Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
00:32:50.000You come to the country, they're giving you, you know, put you on a plane.
00:32:53.000Let's jump to this story from the post-millennial.
00:32:55.000Millions may flee New York City if Mom Dani elected mayor JL Partner's poll.
00:33:01.000The poll found that 25% would consider packing their bags to head out, which would amount to 2.12 million.
00:33:07.000Yeah, consider is not the same as would leave, but a lot of people would.
00:33:11.000Around 765,000 New York City residents would be prepared to leave the Big Apple, according to the poll.
00:33:17.000The current population of New York is on 8.5 million, which is way down, which is crazy.
00:33:21.000The poll found that 9% of New Yorkers would definitely leave the city.
00:33:25.000However, the poll also found that 25% would also consider packing their bags head out, which amounted to 2.12 million.
00:33:31.000The poll highlighted the alarm many feel is Mamdani may become the next mayor of the Big Apple and has previously called for defunding the police, has vowed to increase taxes on the wealthy and other businesses, a $30 minimum wage, as well as vowed to implement a number of other left-wing policies.
00:33:48.000The poll also asked what people thought the state of the city would be in in four years if Mom Dani was elected.
00:33:53.000Some of the terms they used were disaster, hell, chaos, destroyed, and ish hole.
00:33:58.000Those something from Mamdani, however, used the following for terms they thought the city would be like, affordable, improved, hopeful, and changed.
00:34:05.000Additionally, 7% of those earning $250,000 or more a year would also definitely leave under a potential Mamdani term, meaning a loss of tax base as the top 1% of earners in the Big Apple pay around half the tax base for the city.
00:34:23.000I know that we've learned our lesson with Brandon Johnson.
00:34:27.000I just, I just kind of want to see it because he's talking about increasing the minimum wage to 30 bucks, which is the stupidest thing imaginable.
00:34:36.000It's something a seven-year-old comes up with.
00:34:38.000Why don't we just give him more money than they have money for food?
00:34:48.000It's funny when the U.S. government tries to raise taxes on the billionaires and then they all go to St. Kitts and Nevis and renounce their U.S. citizenship and then become island dwellers with passports that can go anywhere.
00:35:07.000Every single billionaire with real estate, every millionaire with real estate, even people who make half a million, probably going to switch their residency to Florida.
00:35:17.000And as long as they spend more than half the year in Florida, they don't got to pay New York City taxes or New York state taxes.
00:36:07.000Like, you just need to rely on the corporation, the corporatocracy, to run your cities.
00:36:12.000I know that sounds horrible because we're supposed to be for the people, by the people governance.
00:36:16.000But if the corporations leave your big city, your big city is going to be a big, open, smelly, rotting cesspool without economy, and no one's going to want to go there because there's not going to be money to pay people to clean it up.
00:36:29.000It does feel like we are held hostage by the corporate corporate democracy, but they're creating the jobs.
00:36:36.000You know, you got the construction jobs on the development.
00:36:38.000You know, you need construction workers.
00:37:34.000Especially a city that's that's like, especially if you are in the north.
00:37:39.000Most people that are in the north, and if they've got, you know, if they have access to a lot of money, they don't spend all winter in New York.
00:37:47.000The winter is, you know, personally, I'm not a fan of the winter.
00:38:21.000It's still a great, I mean, you know, one of the greatest cities in the world, New York, to me.
00:38:25.000I got engaged there on New Year's Eve with Dick Clark.
00:38:27.000But it's like, you know, people love going to New York.
00:38:28.000Even Toronto, they compare Toronto as a mini New York, a little bit cleaner, a little bit slower than New York, but New York's a great city.
00:38:36.000And it's just a shame to see this happening.
00:39:36.000Around six o'clock, you can park wherever you want.
00:39:38.000Yeah, because everybody leaves, and then you've got like an hour before it fills back up.
00:39:43.000It's that hour where everyone's leaving work and then coming back home from those who commute from New York.
00:39:48.000If you could put all your traffic underground, like Elon's boring company building these tunnels, so all the Manhattan Roads, if they were underground, I know we have the subway, that'd be hard to do.
00:39:55.000But if the surface was like grass and you could walk out of those buildings and it was clean and there wasn't traffic, honking, smelling.
00:40:01.000Oh, nobody's walking from the financial district to the Opera Eastside.
00:40:32.000If you work in finance in New York and you have not prepared a contingency plan for a Zaran Nandani mayor victory, mayoral victory, you're a moron.
00:40:42.000However, if Cuomo wins, you buy yourself some time, but you look at what they're doing to the city.
00:40:47.000I think it's only a matter of time before you get a Mamdani.
00:40:56.000Well, no, but the point that Tim's making is that, like, if, because of how close this is likely to be, so even if Cuomo does win, there will be someone coming that has the same, has similar policy proposals to Mamdani, even if it's not Mamdani.
00:41:13.000It would be likely that Mamdani would run again, like, you know, whenever they have another mayoral election.
00:41:19.000But this sentiment is something that is widespread in the U.S.
00:42:15.000Neither is good, but government substantially worse because they're the ones that monitor you in your homes and force you to do things you don't want to do and they don't let you leave either like we saw in East Germany.
00:42:26.000Yeah, the government's supposed to just stop the corporation from becoming mega corp, but it failed.
00:42:30.000It's not supposed to create pseudo-mega corp.
00:42:38.000Like the idea that like the government is going to prevent the mega corp, the government already is the mega corp.
00:42:44.000And they're the ones with the monopoly on violence.
00:42:47.000They're supposed to stop like standard oil, what they did to Rockefeller Standard Oil.
00:42:50.000They're supposed to break up monopolies, but they go overseas now, so there's no way to stop it.
00:42:53.000They're not really supposed to do that.
00:42:56.000Governments have, in my opinion, governments should have a very limited amount of power and there should be a very few specific things that they are allowed to do.
00:43:04.000And breaking up monopolies, to me, generally, is not something that they should be doing.
00:43:08.000That only problem is like the East India Company.
00:43:10.000When you start to see corporations get so big, they become governments of their own, and then they use script instead of dollars.
00:43:42.000There's another funny point that somebody made is that far-right governments tend to slowly dissolve and far left, go nuclear, kill a bunch of people, and then go belly up.
00:43:52.000So like, you know, you look at Spain and it's like the far right took over and then he died and they're like, I guess we'll have elections.
00:43:57.000The far left runs everyone to the ground, massacres millions, and then implodes from lack of human capability.
00:44:04.000The far left will tell you it's communist, but then they'll create vanguardist systems and then they'll keep telling you it's communist.
00:45:54.000They genuinely believe in a communist utopia where if it weren't for these parasite billionaires, everything would be perfect because they've never actually tried to manage a business.
00:46:05.000And they don't understand why HR exists.
00:46:06.000You know what I love is the people who complain about HR and they'll be like, isn't it annoying that they make you watch these workplace guideline videos about sexual harassment or whatever?
00:46:18.000And they think the corporations are just doing it.
00:46:22.000And so they're like, we're legally obligated to have these.
00:46:25.000Our insurance company is requiring it.
00:46:26.000We're legally required to have insurance.
00:46:28.000So the people who run the companies only have limited control as it is.
00:46:32.000And my favorite thing about this is having tried to run, or literally having run numerous businesses even to this day, yo, I got to tell you, there are people with gumption and vision, and there are people who don't, and to varying degrees, are capable of doing certain jobs.
00:46:48.000I guarantee you, if you got rid of the billionaires, the entire country goes Mad Max.
00:46:55.000They're not billionaires because they're evil parasites.
00:46:58.000They're billionaires because they're smart.
00:47:00.000They work and they build management systems.
00:47:03.000And there are evil parasites that become billionaires and they can do immense amount of damage because when you have that amount of power, your actions are amplified.
00:47:12.000But that doesn't mean that it's the richness that's doing.
00:47:14.000If they're evil parasites, how do they get into such positions of power?
00:47:41.000People think, and this is one of the things that I think separates at least there's a scale of capability in running a business.
00:47:51.000If you live in the world where you're like, if it's written on paper and signed, it's law, you are going to hold yourself back because the people that are running systems aren't thinking in these terms and these terms are not correct.
00:48:02.000Elon Musk doesn't sit there and say, I am bound by these walls.
00:48:05.000Elon says, what must you do to get to point A, from point A to point B?
00:48:32.000And you're dealing with someone else who is on a similar level with you, that guy has a team of lawyers that's going to deal with his, with any kind of contracts.
00:48:42.000When they're talking about the, or when we were talking about the, the situation that Donald Trump was in, right?
00:48:47.000So when he, he, uh, he did the, the, what's it called?
00:48:52.000The, the deal in Florida, right, for Mar-a-Lago.
00:48:54.000And there was the, the company, the, the bank that he did the deal with, right?
00:48:59.000Like they both said, we are happy with this.
00:49:03.000You mean, you mean the Deutsche Bank building in New York?
00:49:06.000He was building a building in New York, and they argued that he gave the wrong square footage.
00:50:26.000Then when the money comes in and the business generates $4 million and they get paid out $100,000, they go, whoa, but how did you get $4 million?
00:50:54.000If you are working with another company, you're trying to do a deal with a company and you know, shit, if they sign with that other company, I'm not going to be able to get this deal.
00:51:01.000So you don't tell them about that other company.
00:51:03.000You just get them to sign your contract really fast.
00:51:05.000And then later they find out there was another opportunity that you knew about.
00:51:23.000I'm just arguing in the simple of so often a lot of people enter into contracts that they, you know, I just watched this movie called Dead Money with Emil Hirsch.
00:51:34.000And there's a really interesting legal question that arises at the end of the movie.
00:52:44.000If you enter into a contract and I put something malicious or untoward or even unreasonable in it, the judge will rip that contract up in two seconds.
00:52:54.000If I said, Ian, if I made you sign a contract for music that also granted me power of attorney, the whole thing is going to get torn up in court.
00:53:02.000Judge is going to say that's a ridiculous contract.
00:53:04.000A lot of terms of service are ridiculous, but.
00:55:20.000In the United States, we have constitutional protections and rights.
00:55:23.000Sure, they're eroding, but it is still always going to be better to have a corporation as opposed to a government, despite the fact the corporations are still bad.
00:55:33.000It just depends on the size of the military and how many people are running it.
00:55:36.000Hey, Ian, just so you know, the East India Company, their rule of India ended in 1858 when the British crown just said, we're seizing your property.
00:55:46.000So it was the government that actually had the ability to say, hey, you're no longer in charge here.
00:57:07.000Google is unique in that it is a technology company and it's got so much access to information because of the security, because people trust it with security things like, so that way they can do banking and so that way they can have access to passwords and stuff like that.
00:57:27.000But technology companies like that are unique compared to just about every other type of corporation in the world.
00:57:39.000The Trump administration will provide only half of usual food stamp benefits in November.
00:57:45.000It has been announced, ladies and gentlemen, some $4.65 billion from the SNAP contingency fund will be obligated to cover 50% of eligible households' current allotments for November, according to a sworn statement.
00:57:57.000Hey, that's the weaning off of the system that we had talked about.
00:58:00.000The decision came after a federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the USDA last week to either start providing full November benefits to recipients or partial benefits if the agency opts to only draw on SNAP's contingency fund.
00:58:10.000I will add, the court order literally says if they choose to do it.
00:58:15.000So the court didn't actually give a hard order.
00:58:18.000It said the funds are available and if they choose, they can pull these funds and pay it.
00:58:21.000It did, however, say if they are going to do it, they have to do it now.
00:59:15.000The federal government shouldn't have these policies, anyways.
00:59:17.000If the states want to do them, that's fine.
00:59:19.000But the federal government shouldn't be in the business of having these types of policies.
00:59:23.000People who really need it can go to their local food banks, NGOs, or churches, or stand outside of a supermarket and ask for help from those willing to provide it.
00:59:36.000It's not WIC, but it's more like if you really need it.
00:59:38.000Like food stamps are just like, me telling people to go stand in front of a supermarket and beg is very different from a government program that takes my money with a gun to my.
00:59:45.000You don't want solicitors in front of grocery stores.
00:59:51.000You flee the city for I would rather, I would rather, no, because what you're talking about are, I, you, so hold on, hold on.
00:59:59.000You, you would rather be forced by the government taking your money than just have people standing outside the supermarket asking you to please give it.
01:00:07.000Well, what do you, when you say, I mean, I've had people beg, and when you say no, this is why you ignore them when they ask you, because if you look at them and say no, they get it, they can get aggressive.
01:00:15.000And then you're like, oh shit, I'm going to get it.
01:00:29.000They were saying one of the policies proposed by the left was to pay criminals not to commit crimes.
01:00:34.000That if you get convicted of a crime, upon release, they would say, we'll give you 500 bucks a month if you don't commit another crime.
01:00:40.000If you get caught for any crime, you'll lose these benefits and go to jail.
01:00:44.000And the reason why was they said it costs more money to incarcerate them.
01:00:49.000So we actually save money by offering them cash not to be criminals.
01:00:54.000And it's just like, yes, that's called perverse incentive.
01:00:56.000And that means you'll convince a lot of people to at least commit one crime so they can get on the on the on the no crime program and go back to not committing crimes and getting paid forever.
01:01:04.000And then once the no crime benefits run out, they'll commit a crime again and then get free money.
01:01:50.000If you look into the WIC program, it's for mothers basically with baby women, infants, and children, and it's only for eggs, bread, cheese, milk, things like that.
01:01:59.000I think this would be fantastic, actually.
01:02:01.000And what they should propose is right now, I think weaning off of it is good.
01:02:06.000And now we're at half the levels, fantastic.
01:02:08.000They should say, think about what would happen to our economy if the government subsidized people's food, but only fresh vegetables and meats.
01:02:18.000More corporations would start making you guys have the breakfast programs here for the kids in schools when they go to school in the morning?
01:02:45.000Like, breakfast is the most important meal for some of these kids.
01:02:48.000For Phil and I can say I did not see any schools that did breakfast because with the breakfast programs, which is, you know, to me, that's pretty important for the kids, right?
01:02:55.000You know what the secret was to Chicago Public Schools?
01:03:56.000So instead of having recess, you'd just show up to school at 8 and then there'd be no recess and you'd get out of school at 2.30.
01:04:01.000Whereas recess used to be for my other schools, like at noon, everyone goes and plays for a half hour to, you know, get it out of their system.
01:05:43.000Because one of the problems that we've seen, I think one of the most devastating, let me put it this way: there's a guy named Norman Borlaug.
01:05:53.000They say that he saved a billion lives because he, I believe he was researching wheat, and he figured out how through artificial selection to increase crop yield by four times or something that effect.
01:06:04.000However, the increase in crop yield does not increase nutrition because soil nutrition remains the same.
01:06:09.000And so what ends up happening is you get an increase in starches with no increase in nutritional value.
01:06:15.000People have to slam boxes of craft macaroni and cheese just to feel full.
01:06:21.000People need to eat whole boxes of cereal and they still don't feel full because you're not getting the actual nutrition your body needs.
01:06:27.000So now people are getting fatter and fatter and fatter and they're hungrier and hungrier and hungrier.
01:06:32.000Meanwhile, for me, where I'm able to buy real food and healthy food and organic food, I got to tell you, man, my wife, she made pork belly.
01:06:43.000I don't know what you call it, fried pork belly or baked, baked it.
01:06:46.000And four pieces of these little things, I'm full.
01:06:48.000I'm like, well, I could not eat anything else.
01:10:24.000We always talked about term limits when I was in office in Toronto.
01:10:31.000I think if you have a four-year term, you can run at 69 years old.
01:10:35.000As soon as you land in the 70s, you're done.
01:10:38.000So there's Eleanor Holmes, Norton, 88-year-old, delegate, non-voting member from D.C. She's 88.
01:10:47.000She filed to run again in 2026, and the D.C. police report listed her as having early stages of dementia and noted she has a house manager with power of attorney.
01:12:37.000And, you know, we're pushing on a string.
01:12:39.000We put those ads across during the World Series, and President Trump got all ticked off and stopped the negotiation, which is, to me, it's ridiculous.
01:12:47.000It's like we're trying to push on a string now, right?
01:12:50.000But it's, you know, we have the aluminum.
01:12:53.000Any tariff put on the United States is a tariff on the people, right?
01:12:57.000And we're better together than apart, that's for sure.
01:13:01.000Like, you know, and I'm not in the weeds on the tariffs in that, but if we're screwing the United States on tariffs, let's sit down and negotiate it.
01:13:09.000What does for the president say, no, I'm not going to talk to Canada, I'm not going to talk to them right now.
01:13:42.000And, you know, people are getting ticked off in Canada.
01:13:46.000I said, you know, you may think it's very small, but all the border states, you know, like in Buffalo and Kingston, Niagara Falls, all across the border, across this country, they rely on Canadians coming across.
01:13:56.000Now, I cross the border quite a bit, and there is nobody.
01:14:22.000Back in Tehran in 1979, Iran was coming into your embassy, and we took six of your embassy workers, hid them in our embassy for three months, had them lose their American accents.
01:15:29.000So what's the argument for the U.S. to say, instead of developing our own aluminum industry, we'll trade with Canada and then have to have these negotiations.
01:15:38.000Well, you have to have negotiations now because there's no trade.
01:16:56.000Canada the only the only region of the North Americans that have aluminums you know President Trump's just talking about Canada it's ridiculous you know you had the operation yellow ribbon also that you know during uh during 9-11 where all those planes landed in gander newfoundland we took 6,000
01:17:13.000U.S. Arkansas people's homes we put them the population of Gander is 10,000 we took 6,000 U.S. citizens and put them like we're your number one friend so you know what negotiate hard on the tariffs but don't be treating Canada like we're some piece of yeah off the street it's it's ridiculous and it's uncalled for but right now we're pushing on a string I'm not going to talk to Canada on the tariffs right now it's it's that's to me it's it's children listen I support a lot that your president's doing but I'll tell you it's it's it's it's not good for either country I thought it was like at first I was like what's this rhetoric where he's like we're gonna take
01:17:43.000invade canada we're gonna take over canada it's like dude first of all have respect for other humans don't don't talk down like there's some bitch like yo bro this is our neighbor if there is an invasion from china you better believe the battle is gonna happen in canada guys guys
01:17:58.000canada's not produce does not mine aluminum or bauxite it imports every single ton from guinea brazil australia and china okay the united states has arkansas to mine but still requires imports beyond that why are we dependent on canada to import from guinea brazil australia or china we need We need to crank the tariffs up 10x.
01:18:48.000We get lumber from the Pacific Northwest and from Canada, North American rock maple.
01:18:53.000We put it on ships and send it to China so that Chinese peasants can make skateboards and send them back to the United States so we can sell them $5 cheaper.
01:19:03.000It is the stupidest thing imaginable because companies knew that Chinese peasant labor was cheaper and they didn't want to pay American workers.
01:19:12.000So they exported all of these products in the stupidest way.
01:19:15.000It's actually more expensive to do with a labor is dirt cheap.
01:19:18.000The idea that we're going to import bauxite, I'm sorry, that Canada imports it, so it goes to Canada, then gets refunded, then sent to us, it's stupid.
01:19:25.000So maybe if the U.S. builds its own refineries, mines in Arkansas where it can, and imports the rest directly from the miners in Guinea, Brazil, Australia, or China, we will save money in the long run.
01:19:37.000How long is that going to take for that?
01:19:54.000And this will, how insane is it that Canada imports bauxite than the U.S. imports from Canada instead of us importing directly?
01:20:05.000And so this argument that tariffs are a tax on the people is a meaningless statement.
01:20:10.000The issue is free trade has been detrimental to the self-sufficiency of every nation that's engaged in it.
01:20:15.000And now we are wasting a ridiculous amount of fossil fuel energy to ship all of this garbage all over the world for no reason other than creating dependencies.
01:20:27.000I think we should have our own steel plants, our own aluminum plants.
01:20:30.000I think that we should have our own skateboard factories and we should have things inside the United States so we can be self-sufficient.
01:20:38.000The point of the tariffs is to say, if you want this product made by Chinese peasants or from Brazil or whatever, it's going to be more expensive than if people in the United States do it.
01:20:48.000And so if people want to buy their Timu products, by all means, face your tariff.
01:20:52.000Or what will happen in the short term is a lot of new investment into new factories in the United States.
01:20:58.000And within 10 to 15 years, we could replace Canada as the producer of aluminum for the United States.
01:21:08.000I don't see an argument for being dependent and forced into negotiations with another country, especially when you've got Canada in, what was it, was it Ontario where they're running these commercials attacking Trump and Reagan?
01:22:45.000If we're screwing you on the tariff, let's negotiate it, but don't treat Canada like some piece of shit off the street because there's a lot of stuff.
01:22:50.000There's 3 million Canadians in Florida, right?
01:22:53.000And I have many friends here in the United States.
01:24:49.000I feel like people are, Canadians are tricked into saying that, and Australians are tricked into saying that, but he could get rid of yourself.
01:25:51.000I actually think King Charles is a Davos WEF guy.
01:25:54.000That's why the UK and his mom and his family has imported the third world just endlessly and why they lock up anyone who dares speak out because you have a king.
01:26:31.000relations should be, you know, not the way it's going now.
01:26:34.000And I'll tell you, like I said, a lot of these border towns, Buffalo, Lewiston, Kingston, you go right across this country, this border, they rely on the Canadians that come over.
01:26:43.000Canadians are over there every weekend, every, you know, the tourism dollars, the Canadian pilots.
01:26:58.000The Canadian side's better, but the same is true for the southern border.
01:27:01.000The Canadian side of Niagara Falls is better.
01:27:03.000There are cities that form on both sides in the U.S. and Mexico, in the U.S. and Canada.
01:27:07.000But that's different as to the general tariffs and what the U.S. is doing with trade.
01:27:12.000I think that for too long, we've outsourced all our jobs and heavily relied on the petro dollar.
01:27:17.000And we've created a fat, lazy generation, and there's no kids.
01:27:21.000So what we need to do is I think the U.S. shouldn't be able to rely on Chinese peasants or cheap products from Canada, Mexico, or otherwise, because we now have, we have, we have two phenomenon.
01:28:03.000Apparently, I think they're like reassigning one of these guys.
01:28:05.000They say internal chats review by the post show: high-ranking members of the Heritage Foundation told each other privately how embarrassed and disgusted they were by Kevin Roberts' ridiculous decision to come to Carlson's defense over the sit-down with Fuentes, who has expressed anti-Semitic views and denied the Holocaust happen.
01:28:21.000I'm disgusted by this and don't understand how this premeditated and orchestrated response could come out of one of the biggest think tanks in the world.
01:28:28.000One wrote, well, I'm going to tell you this.
01:28:30.000I think I was talking to some older guys.
01:30:00.000Young people are sick and tired of being lied to.
01:30:02.000And if no one's offering up a real argument against Nick Fuentes, then young people are going to assume he must be correct because no one else will tell them the truth.
01:30:12.000I'm not saying Nick is telling them the truth.
01:30:13.000Saying, if Nick says X, and instead of arguing that the media says ban him for saying it, they go, Wow, it must be true.
01:30:21.000It used to be called Holocaust revisionism because people were like, Well, let's like look at the data and see if they were wrong about any of the numbers.
01:30:27.000And I heard this interesting concept that the Allies, when they were finishing World War II and they were doing bombing runs in Germany, blowing up roads, blowing up train stations, they didn't know there were camps yet.
01:30:36.000They blew up the transport and the Germans couldn't get food into the camps anymore.
01:30:40.000And so for weeks, these people started starving, and then the Allies rolled in.
01:30:44.000And that aspect of it is so touchy for the Allies.
01:31:20.000Well, we shut down our processing plants for steel and now we're importing from China for slave labor.
01:31:24.000And they're going, so I could have worked in a steel mill like my grandpa did, but instead they shut it down and now they're importing from China, which is more expensive to do, but they don't got to pay Chinese labor.
01:31:50.000Then Trump comes and says, I'm going to put tariffs on these countries so that this forces American industry to start rebuilding in America.
01:31:58.000And these young guys go, Thank you, Donald Trump, for finally sticking up for me.
01:32:03.000So is what the downside is that corporations will be like, I can't handle the tariffs here anymore.
01:32:33.000If Donald Trump says we're going to have tariffs on imports, then what happens?
01:32:37.000Honda will build a factory in the United States and employ Americans to work on these cars to avoid paying the tariffs.
01:32:42.000Then American young people get those jobs and we can start to rebuild our community, our culture, and our industry.
01:32:48.000Instead, you've got people arguing in favor of continued extraction of the American economy and culture.
01:32:55.000One of the examples I'll give with Nick Fuentes is one I've given before where he's got a viral, viral clip with probably tens of millions of views, where he says he doesn't want to live near black people.
01:33:05.000And he says it's not because he has a problem with individual black people.
01:33:08.000He's actually, and this is funny, a lot of people know this.
01:33:25.000All these young white guys will look at the crime rates.
01:33:28.000They'll look at their own neighborhoods and they'll be like, yep, tends to be a lot of young black men committing a lot of the crime.
01:33:34.000You bring it up on social media, you get banned.
01:33:36.000You advocate for it, and every liberal and every Democrat is going to give you a justification and a lie and an excuse, even though these same liberals sell their property when black families move in.
01:35:11.000And the bigger issue, I argue, is culture and community, which is why Hyde Park is safe and luxurious and black.
01:35:18.000And Leclerc Courts is black, but also impoverished, dangerous, and gang-infested.
01:35:23.000The point is your equivocation and your desperate attempt to try and downplay the obvious reality of young black men committed a disproportionate amount of the crime results in these 20-year-old white dudes being like Ian's lying.
01:35:36.000Well, if 150 years ago, a bunch of white people were enslaved and brought over here by a big, black, very wealthy black oligarchy.
01:35:44.000You better believe right now it would be a bunch of dumb white people committing crime.
01:36:17.000It's a current skin color and culture that's causing crime.
01:36:19.000It's not racist to mention that culture is a reason for why there's crime.
01:36:22.000And it's their skin color that's causing it.
01:36:24.000No, no, you could argue that certain cultures are more likely to commit crimes in other cultures.
01:36:30.000Like if you took me, who's a free speech advocate, and sent me to Saudi Arabia, you better believe I'd talk shit about the king and that's a crime over there.
01:36:50.000To a young person who grows up in these suburbs and sees white liberals being racist and then publicly lying about why they actually don't want to live in these neighborhoods.
01:36:59.000These people are going to go find those.
01:37:04.000You go into the suburbs of Chicago, you go into the white neighborhoods and everyone will say under their breath bad things about the black areas while publicly acting like the poor black communities are oppressed and it's not their fault they're committing crimes.
01:37:16.000Nick will then in the suburbs of Chicago say the exact opposite and say, it's because they commit crimes and they're criminals.
01:37:21.000And the young people go, everybody says it, but no one says it publicly except Nick.
01:37:26.000And then when Nick comes out and praises Hitler, they say he must be telling the truth because you won't have a real conversation about what's going on in Chicago.
01:37:34.000That's my problem with all the people attacking Tucker Carlson.
01:37:38.000All of these people, it's laughable because it's one issue that they're obsessed with, Israel.
01:37:44.000And of course, Nick also has his issues with Israel.
01:37:48.000But the pro-Israel people are attacking Tucker and Nick and Candace specifically over Israel while ignoring their other positions on other issues and why young people want to follow them.
01:38:00.000So maybe, and I was talking with Gavin McInnes, who I said, he's a Zionist.
01:38:15.000The fact that you're willing to have your argument and express why you support Israel and why you're pro-Israel with someone like Nick is actually how we alleviate the pressure.
01:38:23.000The problem is, young people are getting screwed over, and there's too many institutional politicians lying to them for political power, and they're sick of being lied to.
01:38:33.000The problem then is Nick is wrong about quite a bit, but he's saying loud what a lot of people are unwilling to say.
01:38:41.000And so it's convincing them that he must be right about everything else.
01:38:44.000Yeah, he's got a genuine, even if he's wrong, sometimes he'll say, I mean, I've seen him, sometimes he'll smile when he talks, and I can tell he's pulling one over on people, but he is genuine often.
01:38:54.000And whether he's right or wrong, people are drawn to genuine beliefs because at least you can challenge it and they're not going to lie to you about it.
01:39:00.000Well, when someone says they like Hitler, you're probably going to be like, he's probably telling me what he actually thinks because who would ever admit to it?
01:39:07.000And he's giving me like 150th of the statement there.
01:39:17.000Like, I think, I guess, I'm not saying he's a good guy.
01:39:21.000I think that what we're going to see is young people moving to the further, further.
01:39:26.000I don't know if far right makes sense.
01:39:29.000Far right is a term created by leftists to smear people of various disparate ideologies.
01:39:35.000A governmental, a command economy with racial identitarianism is not far right because depending on the race, they'll call it left or right.
01:39:44.000Like ADL calls left identity, I'm sorry, black identitarianism left-wing.
01:39:48.000And I'm like, what is left-wing about that?
01:40:02.000Woke right is a stupid, made-up garbage term by the same thing, leftists and liberals trying to smear people on the right.
01:40:08.000But I think you're going to find a, I guess I would describe it as white identitarianism among young people because they're sick of being attacked for being white and they're sick of being lied to by an establishment as to the cause of these of crime in this country.
01:40:24.000Additionally, one thing that's really going viral right now are these DOJ documents that show black and Latino people listed as white people in the crime stats.
01:40:33.000This is what these manipulations and lies should not happen.
01:40:38.000And it's going to drive people to someone like Nick.
01:40:42.000And Hitler was not a good dude, nor was he cool in any way.
01:40:53.000If acknowledging the crime stats and say there's a disproportionate amount of crime coming out of the black communities is different than saying because they're black, they're causing crime.
01:41:04.000He says it's not to blame individual black people.
01:41:07.000However, the issue is liberals won't admit it, but look at the property values in their cities and the property values drop, the less white an area becomes.
01:41:18.000And these are liberals in cities that vote Democrat.
01:41:23.000Everybody knows they're lying about what they actually think.
01:41:28.000And now you can talk about all of the reasons why there's crime or whatever your argument might be, but this is people are sick of being lied to.
01:41:38.000But like, I love talking about the differences in genetics because then you can actually have normal conversations, not freak people out and make them run towards the nation.
01:41:45.000You're not allowed to point out that black people are more predisposed to sickle cell anemia.
01:41:50.000I don't know if all the time they're taller.
01:41:51.000Why is how many people in the NBA are black versus white?
01:42:49.000Like Myron Gaines talks a bit about this because he's literally black, but in the United States, they say he's not black because he's Sudanese in America.
01:42:58.000So despite the fact that he's literally African, they're like, that's not what it means to be black.
01:43:02.000So that's the problem with like racism and whatever you want to call it.
01:43:26.000I think that's where the evolution of the differences in hominids comes from is the terrain, like high beating sun in the equatorial Africa.
01:43:34.000Your skin gets darker every day and darker and darker and darker.
01:43:37.000And then your kids are just born with the darker skin.
01:43:39.000And the Asian people, and then look at his eyes.
01:44:19.000People with like webbed feet that can swim in the Southeast Pacific, you know, those Pacific Islanders with they can hold their breath for like eight minutes underwater.
01:49:16.000Here in West Virginia, we have bad taxes, but it's because it used to be a Democrat state and now it's turned into a Republican state only recently.
01:49:22.000And I have had my conversations with the politicians and they are trying to fix the tax problems in West Virginia.
01:49:29.000One of the great things is that the former governor wanted to eliminate the income tax of West Virginia, which would smartest thing they could do.
01:49:39.000Eliminate personal income tax in West Virginia, and this state will generate an insane amount of money.
01:49:46.000You are going to instantly get every single wealthy person in the DC area, Maryland and Virginia.
01:49:52.000They will move into West Virginia and start developing like crazy.
01:49:56.000The tax revenue will be off the charts.
01:50:30.000He's like the policy of eliminating everything and just like I said, if I were to actually run for office, I would just say all of these really horrible things that would guarantee I never get elected.
01:50:51.000This is why I, you know, I'm actually, maybe, maybe at some point I should run for the presidency just so that I can say all of these things and people will be like, I will never vote for that man.
01:52:36.000If I was president and I should executive order, I would write, this executive order will sunset in six years and no longer be enforceable.
01:52:44.000Someone else can come in and add more to it after the fact.
01:52:47.000Anyway, enough of my hypothetical attacking of government.
01:52:51.000Well, actual attacking of government with hypothetical presidential run.
01:52:54.000Old Roy says, I like when Ian brings his perspective to the show.
01:53:51.000They say the corporation, like Venezuela, when you ask these socialists why Venezuela is failing, they say, because the capitalists are interfering.
01:54:59.000Okay, so to be fair, after Charlie Kirk, I got the most.
01:55:02.000But up until that point, when I jokingly tweeted that we will invade Canada and be greeted as liberators, my wife was like, What did you do?
01:55:12.000Because our email was just lit up with death threats.
01:56:13.000We have the L CBO, the liquor control board of Ontario, where you have to go to a store to buy, you know, liquor, vodka, bourbon, whatever.
01:56:21.000The liquor control board of Ontario, the LCBO is the largest buyer of alcohol in the world.
01:56:27.000Our premier has taken all the U.S. booze off the shelf.
01:56:30.000You don't think that's hurting the people?
01:56:31.000Like, you can't get bourbon now in Canada.
01:56:34.000You don't think it's hurting all the people in California, all the California wine that comes into the country, all the bourbon that comes out of Kentucky into our country?
01:58:26.000And they made us empty out our trailer and everything because they were afraid that we might have had marijuana, which we had no marijuana at all.
01:58:33.000We were the first ones legal-wise marijuana.
01:58:35.000Yeah, which is why I was like, why isn't that?
01:58:37.000That's a one-off thing, like you just said.
01:59:26.000it's ludicrous did you say your buddy is buddies with the pm or the my good friend doug ford is our premier which is like a governor to you he's Are you friends with Doug Ford?
02:01:05.000There's a large swath of land and a court ruled that because it was a fishing village 300 years ago, all of these homes are now subject to the jurisdiction of the Choctaw or something like that.
02:02:04.000It's a bad idea for anyone to make those kind of remarks.
02:02:08.000These land acknowledgements and stuff, it's a terrible idea to even play at the idea that it's unceded land.
02:02:17.000Because then you're calling into question the sovereignty of the government and you're calling into question whether or not the government's legitimate.
02:02:27.000Let's grab one last point before we go to the uncensored portion of the show.
02:02:32.000The Canadian royalty, King Charles III, as the head of state, represented day to day by the governor general, almost always acts on the advice of the elected prime minister.
02:02:42.000The last outright refusal of prime ministerial advice was 1926.
02:05:29.000At Ian Crossland, you guys, if you haven't been to the pre-show on Discord, the Timcast Discord, we are doing pre-shows every day at 6.30 Eastern before we start to prep for this show.
02:08:24.000The free rat can open the door in five seconds.
02:08:26.000Rats always free a cage mate, even strangers.
02:08:30.000A white lab rat will only free another white rat if that's all it's ever seen.
02:08:36.000Put a black rat in the cage, a high melanin rat, in the cage for two weeks, and the white rat now frees any black rat, friend, or stranger.
02:08:45.000The Mowgli test raised baby white rats with black foster moms.
02:08:48.000They grew up helping black rats first.
02:08:51.000So the interesting thing is, if you have white rats that have never seen a black rat before, they will not free them.
02:11:11.000Because when they breed out high adrenaline and aggression, the gene that produces high melanin goes along with it.
02:11:18.000For these reasons, you will get many people arguing.
02:11:21.000Certainly then with rats and foxes, there would be another mammalian correlation with white people.
02:11:27.000Lower adrenaline and a correlation for lesser pigmentation.
02:11:30.000And all of the systems and all of the AIs and all of the Democrats will tell you, and all the Republicans as well, no.
02:11:38.000Rats and foxes will lose pigmentation and turn white when become less aggressive, but humans are completely unrelated and this phenomenon makes no sense as it pertains to humans.
02:11:47.000Well, the truth is, and Nick Fuentes might tell you the same thing, it is related.
02:11:51.000All the hominin, all the animals, the animal kingdom is interrelated.
02:13:01.000I wonder if that has something to do with it.
02:13:02.000The reason it said that is obvious, because it's racist otherwise.
02:13:06.000So I'm not here to talk about what people want to be true, only what is a correlation.
02:13:12.000Correlation is not causation, nor have I argued that there is causation between melanin and aggression.
02:13:17.000The point I am bringing up is that these studies, which have been going on for decades, have shown that there is some kind of correlation between high melanin production and aggression, likely due to the fact that when they breed for lower adrenaline, it results in a deletion of pigmentation genes.
02:13:34.000I wonder if that's because when humans split and the ones from the tropics went north, they started.
02:13:41.000Well, that wouldn't quite make the sense I'm thinking of because they couldn't really farm up north.
02:13:46.000So they but they're no farms late north?
02:13:54.000They had to hunt because there weren't fertile lands up there.
02:13:57.000So they couldn't really, they got aggressive.
02:14:00.000You know, their own there are trees in Siberia.
02:14:02.000Yeah, there's a lot of, there was a lot of farming.
02:14:05.000But I wonder if the skin gets darker when you get more aggressive, if that's the correlation we're talking about, because if you're aggressive, you want to hunt and you want to kill things and you do it in the secrecy, in the darkness, where you can't be seen.
02:14:17.000Because I'll tell you, if I haven't gotten any sun, I go outside at night.
02:17:27.000If a human population were artificially selected for extreme calmness, like Belliev did with foxes, lighter skin, hair, and eyes would appear as a side effect within 10 to 20 generations.
02:17:36.000It is so fucking desperate to avoid being accused of being racist.
02:17:41.000I am not saying anything about black people or otherwise.
02:17:45.000I'm simply pointing out that studies exist showing when you select for tameness and calmness, the pigment genes get deleted and result in white rats and foxes.
02:18:00.000So could it be possible in humans that there is some correlation in a similar way?
02:18:04.000And it keeps trying to twist my question to give me a no, just like fucking Snopes does.
02:18:11.000So let me make it clear what the manipulation was in this fucking retard system.
02:18:16.000And I can swear, when I asked first, is it possible humans would see these effects?
02:20:53.000The theory then, or the hypothesis is there is a correlation between aggression and melanin production, that people who have a gene that predisposes to high adrenaline or aggression will also be more likely to have more melanin.
02:21:08.000That kind of makes sense because doesn't melanin help you sleep?
02:21:26.000I don't understand what the issue is with bringing this up.
02:21:28.000This says nothing of an individual black man.
02:21:31.000It says nothing about Hyde Park or individuals who are black as a collective, or I'm sorry, as individuals or even different regions, ethnicities.
02:21:44.000The point I have to bring up is the problem I have with racists or the surface level white supremacy, white racist stuff is that Somalians and Haitians are very, very different.
02:21:54.000Now, I'm intentionally choosing countries where you're going to be like, well, they both suck.
02:21:58.000Somalia and Haiti both suck, but they are still very different.
02:22:06.000It's like saying a Slavic guy, like a Slavic guy and a Spanish guy are both white, but they look very, very different and they have different cultures and practices.
02:22:16.000I don't think color of someone's skin is going to determine whether or not, especially as an individual, you can make judgments.
02:22:23.000And I think when you take a look at places like Chicago and you can see the black neighborhoods of high crime, it is cultural.
