On this week's episode of the Green Room Uncensored show, we talk about how Donald Trump is taking back control of the federal government, and why it's a good thing the 20th Amendment boards are back in stock.
00:00:33.000There's one instance, we have the tweet where a post, There's a chief diversity officer who gets renamed a senior officer because they're trying to protect people's jobs, and that is in defiance of executive order, which is insane.
00:00:45.000So we've got that story, of course, and here's a big one.
00:00:48.000Deportations have begun, and the DOJ will investigate and prosecute any local officials who obstruct the deportation process.
00:01:13.000It is only the second day, and Donald Trump has done, I guess technically it's the third day, Donald Trump has done many things.
00:01:20.000Many things so far, keeping his promise.
00:01:22.000Of course, we talked about the pardoning of Ross Ulbrich the other day.
00:01:24.000So we'll get into all that stuff, and we'll talk about how he is taking back the government.
00:01:28.000He's also rescinded the executive order creating the equal employment opportunity in federal government, which is crazy, because it wasn't a law, it was an executive order.
00:01:37.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
00:01:41.000I'm willing to bet Ian's got no coffee left.
00:01:43.000Okay, Ian's graphene dream has 494 bags left.
00:02:25.000If you want to pick up your Step on Snack and Find Out board, we do have them back in stock.
00:02:29.000The 20th Amendment boards are sold out, which is really cool that you guys bought all the chicken skateboards that we made, because look at that picture of that chicken.
00:02:38.000If you're not watching this on a video player, you're missing out, because this is the greatest doodle of a chicken ever made.
00:03:04.000And today we sat down with Angela McArdle and talked about the parting of Ross Ulbricht, her meeting with Donald Trump, and we get into the weeds on all of that stuff and a bit about the libertarian philosophy.
00:03:17.000You'll also get access to our Uncensored, I'm sorry, our Uncensored show Monday through Thursday, but also our Discord server.
00:03:22.000So, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, and joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Matt Walsh.
00:03:30.000Good that I didn't have to trek through the wilderness to find you this time, so right down the street from us.
00:03:34.000I will say that I don't want to get into a big argument right off the bat, but your 28th Amendment, I had declared a different 28th Amendment, so we've got a bit of a conf.
00:04:34.000And you are largely responsible for the pardoning of Ross Ulbricht, which has every libertarian throwing their hat in the air and cheering.
00:06:10.000It was OSHA. Trump, I think, may actually be able to do something on this very simply by instructing the appropriate law enforcement To enforce the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:06:22.000That is, any private business that utilizes protected classes in their hiring will be in violation of the law, and that means DEI is de facto gone.
00:07:11.000Because the thing with executive orders, of course, and the worry is that they're great in this case.
00:07:17.000But then the next guy can come and the next Democrat can come and just reverse everything just as quickly as Trump is wiping out whatever Biden did.
00:07:25.000And that's why you need Congress to come in behind these executive orders and codify them into law so that it's not quite so easy to just wipe them out from existence.
00:07:33.000And that can be done easily with this DEI stuff.
00:07:36.000And although it is, to both of your points, it is already very much illegal to do this.
00:07:41.000This is racial profiling, racial discrimination.
00:07:45.000You could still have a federal law that bans this explicitly on the basis that it's a human rights violation because you're discriminating against people based on their race.
00:07:56.000He got rid of affirmative action and contracting for the federal government, too.
00:08:44.000But the other thing, too, is that, and this was always the irony of him being labeled a dictator, is that in his first term, he was the opposite of it.
00:08:50.000In fact, if anything, he had the opposite problem.
00:08:52.000He erred too much in the opposite direction in that he was very shy about wielding his executive power.
00:08:57.000This time around, he realizes that, hey, I have this power.
00:09:01.000It was to the point where it was a meme.
00:09:03.000People were saying, people on the right were saying, please give us the Trump that the left swears that he is.
00:09:09.000Give us the authoritarian Trump that the left thinks he is.
00:09:12.000But when you say Trump did more in two days than Biden did in his entire presidency, the issue I take with that statement is that Biden was effectively rolling backwards in his wheelchair down a hill, and Trump is actually climbing the hill.
00:10:51.000It's almost as if he went through divine trials to earn and understand his place, narrowly avoiding death, but by the turn of his head, that made him a forceful president.
00:11:03.000That's why his portrait looks the way it does.
00:11:06.000I think it's a really good representation of the hero's journey, and I don't necessarily think that Donald Trump is coming in to save every single person in the country, but I do think he's coming to redeem the boomer generation.
00:11:16.000I think that's a big part of this, is he's like, we are going to fix a lot of the things that the boomers did direct the country.
00:11:21.000You know, what matters to me a lot is the pardoning of Ross Ulbricht, and I know for libertarians it's largely about the core issues of the case.
00:11:31.000But what makes me a bit more emotional here is that Donald Trump, of all the things he promised, the DEI firings, these people are in his way.
00:11:42.000He's got a mission that he believes in.
00:11:44.000And he's going to fire these people, not just because he promised to do it, but he promised to do it because these are the people who obstructed him and wronged him.
00:12:34.000But we should also mention that in the pardoning, so far, there's been one omission that I very much hope that this is coming soon, which is the pro-lifers who are sitting...
00:12:48.000We're sitting in federal prison right now.
00:12:50.000Some of them are already out, but they're on probation, and they've got this on the record.
00:12:53.000Some are actually in federal prison right now.
00:12:55.000Has he made promises to pardon them as well?
00:13:13.000Well, the Biden administration decided that they were going to enforce the so-called You know what that is?
00:13:22.000I've heard of it a couple years ago or something.
00:13:24.000Yeah, it's the freedom of access to clinics' entrances.
00:13:27.000So, this is a 90s-era law that made it a federal crime to basically come within X number of feet of the entrance of an abortion clinic if you're a protester and you're blocking the entrance.
00:13:44.000And that law already had a million problems because you're treating these clinics like this special category of building and giving them the kinds of protections you don't give any other building.
00:13:53.000But then also this law supposedly offered the same protections to pregnancy resource centers, to crisis pregnancy centers, to pro-life centers.
00:14:03.000So that was their way of dealing with the inequality of the law.
00:14:07.000They said, okay, well, yeah, this will also apply to pro-life centers.
00:14:10.000Well, the problem is that they don't enforce that.
00:14:12.000And then under the Biden administration, you had these pro-abortion radicals that were literally setting pro-life pregnancy centers on fire, and there was no attempt to track these people down at all.
00:14:26.000And instead, they decided to go after these pro-lifers, some of whom, there was a case in Tennessee where they were sitting, I believe, outside the entrance of the abortion clinic and praying.
00:15:12.000It's not like Black Block where they're locking elbows and blocking you from moving.
00:15:15.000That's why I say they, in any other context, like if they had done that outside of a Home Depot, at worst they get loitering charts, a misdemeanor.
00:15:25.000It only is a federal crime because the federal government has decided to treat abortion clinics like these sacred temples, which is how the left.
00:15:36.000There were some protesters who were inside the lobby.
00:15:40.000Of an abortion clinic, and they were, I think they were praying, and they were instructed, you have to leave or else, and they got charged under this as well, which should just be a trespass slap on the wrist.
00:15:55.000Yeah, there's been, there are many pro-life organizations that have been advocating, and to Trump's, and by the way, Trump has said that he's going to pardon them, so I'm not, there's no indication that he's just going to ignore them and betray them.
00:16:05.000I'm not claiming this is some great betrayal.
00:16:47.000You look at the crime family, 10% for the big guy, the Burisma scandal.
00:16:51.000But he is very old and unaware of his surroundings.
00:16:56.000If Trump were to issue the pardon, acting very magnanimous, it would also require Biden to make an admission of guilt for the things that he did that Trump would pardon him for.
00:17:05.000And we're not going to put him in prison.
00:17:08.000And Massey was saying last night that if you bring these people before Congress, now like Anthony Fauci, and you ask him, like, why did you lie about gain of function?
00:17:16.000You said there was none when there was.
00:17:18.000And if he still lies, then they can hit him, even after the pardon, now they can hit him again for perjury.
00:17:22.000So he's got to kind of admit, like, this is why I lied to the public.
00:17:25.000I love the sentiment, but Joe Biden needs continued ridicule in my mind.
00:17:46.000If he says, I pardon Joe Biden for the quid pro quo in Ukraine, threatening to withhold congressionally approved loan guarantees, that's illegal, but he did it.
00:17:54.000We all know he did, so I pardon him for it.
00:18:34.000George Floyd had fentanyl, norfentanil, I think it was caffeine, nicotine, and THC in his system, five drugs when he died, that it was a heart attack, not an asphyxiation.
00:18:50.000Just on the trial alone, I think that that's, if this is all about undoing the weaponization of the justice system, it should be done on the trial.
00:19:00.000It's part of the first one, but it's interesting.
00:19:02.000Pop Crave has the tweet saying, Donald Trump has revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965. The order prohibited discrimination in hiring an employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
00:19:16.000We have this in the, we have right here, the executive order, ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity.
00:19:24.000And you can see, while this does cover all the DEI stuff, it includes Executive Order 11246. So what they say over here,
00:19:47.000basically it says, on September 24th, 1965, Lyndon Johnson issued Executive Order 11246. So this is basically the end of affirmative action in the federal government.
00:20:17.000It only extends to the federal government.
00:20:19.000I did not realize that was just an executive order.
00:20:37.000But when you look at all these things that Trump's doing, and he's killing DEI and federal government, he's killing gender ideology and federal government, those two things in particular, I was expecting a nuclear explosion of Rage.
00:21:13.000Chris Ruffo tweeted something earlier about how the big tech companies, according to people he's talking to, his reporting...
00:21:21.000Talking to people at big tech companies, they're going to comply with this getting rid of DEI. And according to him, there's kind of actually a sense of relief that they don't have to pretend to care about this anymore.
00:21:31.000And then you just get back to hiring people that are good at doing their job.
00:21:34.000So I wonder if for some on the left, if maybe that applies more broadly and that there's some on the left anyway who they're a little bit relieved to be done with this stuff because they never really believed in it.
00:21:46.000And the idea that they had to get up in arms because a man wants access to the women's changing room.
00:21:52.000And so now it's like they don't have to pretend to care about that anymore.
00:21:55.000So is there a slight sense of relief among some on the left?
00:23:04.000You know, the thing about Antifa and these far leftists is that they're always a fringe minority of violent groups, and they rely on the mass of normie, general liberal disdain.
00:23:17.000So if a thousand people come out to protest, and their intention is to wave little American flags and pride flags or whatever, Antifa goes into those groups and uses that as cover to be violent, causing chaos.
00:23:29.000But if most of those people don't want to protest for these things anymore, Antifa has no cover.
00:23:35.000It may be the left is very mad, but they were never very powerful to begin with.
00:23:40.000I think they're agitators and they get people riled up.
00:23:43.000And I think the normies and the people in the middle are just fatigued and they're over it.
00:23:48.000Wokeism is a sad, like it makes people sad.
00:23:53.000And this whole election has been a vibe check.
00:23:56.000People are like, you know what, I think I want to be happy and not always be scolding the sad-looking white dude in the cubicle next to me.
00:24:03.000We were talking earlier about that, the vibe change, the era of America is good again.
00:24:11.000It's really tangible, and I think that it's something that a lot of people feel nowadays.
00:24:17.000People are tired of looking at the United States, which is, I don't care.
00:24:23.000The United States has been an aggregate good for the world.
00:24:27.000Even if only because the U.S. keeps the seas open for trade, it has been an aggregate good for the entire world.
00:24:35.000And most people in the United States want to believe that the country they're from, the United States, is a good place full of good people and has good intentions.
00:24:45.000And with the left being so ascendant for the past...
00:24:48.000Possibly 20 years, particularly since the Gulf War, I think people are tired of feeling like the United States is bad and they're ready for some optimism and some belief that the country still is a place that does good things.
00:25:05.000And if you look at just how many illegal aliens have come to the United States in the past four years, that says something about the rest of the world and the United States in comparison.
00:25:15.000I'm curious what's going to happen with colleges.
00:25:17.000Because, like, what Matt's saying with the tech world, they're being liberated.
00:25:21.000I feel like the colleges are going to, they're recalibrating until you get crazier.
00:25:24.000Well, so Elon tweeted something that when you look at the appearance of certain words in academic journals, I think it was journals, you can see this massive spike of all these woke terminologies and phobias and whatnot.
00:25:35.000And then in the past year, it's started to decline.
00:25:40.000Because when I was a professor and, you know, applying for other professor jobs, all the applications at the bottom, they were saying they're hiring all these people.
00:26:47.000They rebranded the DEI department, and they were just doing it on a different name.
00:26:50.000They've got to make sure that we have people of all different race, creed, and color burning down the next Waco.
00:26:55.000I think it's really important to them.
00:26:59.000Trump and his administration understand that this is not over on day one.
00:27:05.000And that when he signs an executive order saying DEI is over, they say, we're not DEI. We're the Equal Employment Accessibility Department.
00:27:12.000That's another name they're using now.
00:27:14.000The Equal Employment and Accessibility.
00:27:16.000Yeah, I mean, the left is very good at rebranding.
00:27:24.000It becomes even more unpopular, and then they rebrand the idea, and then they get a second life out of that idea because they rebranded it.
00:27:30.000So that is what you have to look out for, which is why you're also going to have to fire the people at the top of these agencies and departments and then install people who are not motivated to go.
00:27:44.000It's like how the Department of War became the Department of Defense.
00:27:46.000To your point, Matt, about the left rebranding, that's what the whole woke movement is.
00:27:52.000When it stopped being functional for the power dynamic to go from the working class to the proletariat to the bourgeoisie, from the working class to the property, then...
00:28:06.000People like Herbert Marcuse had to go ahead and find new people with the revolutionary energy.
00:28:12.000I think it was in One Dimensional Man, he was talking about how because capitalism delivers the goods, he said, and he came right out and he said that, because capitalism delivers a good life for people.
00:28:27.000The working class no longer has the revolutionary energy, and so he specifically said that he was going to have to go to the ghettos, and you're going to have to find, essentially turn it from working class versus the proletariat to race-based.
00:30:24.000Financially, I want to just pull the funding.
00:30:25.000Well, I'm okay with that too, but what this says to me is it's illegal to aid and abet criminals.
00:30:31.000And California is in violation of federal law, and the people who aid and abet the criminals should be charged in whatever capacity we have codified.
00:32:46.000The argument is, the Lincoln Riley Act is, anyone here unlawfully who also commits these crimes, burglary, theft, or whatever, if you are arrested, then they are to be detained by Homeland Security and deported.
00:32:58.000And his argument is, but they've not been tried.
00:33:17.000And to your question about why would you protect murderers, part of it is on the left, it's like they don't, they're not, and we've seen this, they don't get very angry about violent crime.
00:33:29.000Because they, and the reason for that is that, I mean, we had this notion, you're going back, you know, even when I was a kid, we heard about, you don't hear the term very often anymore, a bleeding heart liberal.
00:33:39.000And the idea was that if you're on the left, your problem is that you're overflowing with too much compassion.
00:33:53.000It's actually on the left, they are cruelly indifferent, in fact, to suffering.
00:33:58.000And so when they hear about a violent murderer...
00:34:01.000They don't feel the innate rage and anger that everyone at this table feels because they just don't care that much.
00:34:07.000And then that's why their compassion for criminals, it's a very cheap compassion because they can talk about forgiveness and let them be rehabilitated.
00:34:15.000Well, it's because you're not actually angry about what they did.
00:34:19.000Wanting to punish criminals, wanting to harshly punish criminals, that comes from a place of love and a thirst for justice that I think they just don't...
00:34:33.000And they'll stand on dead bodies to promote whatever they want.
00:34:35.000Why is it just like a disassociative, like it hasn't happened to me, so it doesn't sound that bad from a distance?
00:34:41.000I'd like to point out an example that Phil had tweeted before, where they show results of a study that found that conservatives tend to have compassion for their friends and their family and the people around them, and Democrats and liberals tend to have compassion for inert objects like rocks.
00:35:43.000And then from there, you have kind of your extended family, your friends, and then your community, your immediate community, and then your state, and then your country.
00:35:51.000And then far, far down the line, you care about all the nations of the world.
00:36:13.000They talk about the world and humanity and people.
00:36:16.000And they don't have children, which helps with the inversion because there's nothing close to them to love.
00:36:21.000And the thing is that even climate, caring about that, it means nothing and it costs you nothing because I can't do anything about the climate.
00:36:48.000I spend any amount of time with many of these people.
00:36:51.000I'll give a shout out to one of my favorite countries, Sweden.
00:36:54.000I know it's been a while since I was there, but they love to talk about how they're not racist and they're very progressive.
00:37:00.000And it's actually one of the most racist countries I've ever been to.
00:37:04.000They isolate their migrants into ghettos.
00:37:06.000They move them over decades into these isolated little communities where they are effectively outside of Swedish society.
00:37:15.000And even white Americans that I met who had moved to Sweden who were fluent in Swedish said they couldn't get jobs because Swedes are actually very xenophobic.
00:37:25.000They don't like people from outside their country.
00:38:20.000But it's also dangerous to be too far right where you're like, look, I only care about my immediate surroundings and I don't care at all about the group because it's very important that we make sure that people aren't crapping in the water upstream because there are people living downstream and one day that's going to come back to you.
00:38:44.000The other thing about immigration and the compassion of it, How their position is supposedly compassionate.
00:38:51.000It's very funny to me, in a morbid way, how open these people are about the fact that what they're really concerned about is that they're going to lose their slave labor.
00:39:02.000We heard it from the woman who gave the fake bishop who gave her sermon.
00:39:18.000A lot of the people who come in illegally end up homeless or they live just in hotels.
00:39:23.000They don't actually have what we would consider a good life here, and I think that all of the NGOs and Democrats know that, and they don't care.
00:39:33.000How many children were lost coming over that border?
00:39:50.000And they can't build a good life in their homes of origin either because...
00:39:55.000You know, it's kind of like if you listen to the left, they say, oh, well, all these immigrants are coming and they're very useful and they are very skilled and they're doing a lot of important things.
00:40:04.000Well, if that's true, then what you're telling me is that the countries they're coming from are losing everyone they need to, like, build a functioning society.
00:42:43.000Look, Mexico is the biggest trading partner.
00:42:45.000The United States is the biggest trading partner in Mexico has.
00:42:47.000Mexico has every incentive to stop working with the cartels and start working with the United States to fix this problem.
00:42:58.000Mexico has been allowing immigrants to...
00:43:01.000To cross through their country for ages and ages, and they've been shoving people into the United States.
00:43:07.000The United States taking a firm stance and saying, you are not sending people into the United States anymore, and we're going to put teeth behind those words is a good thing.
00:43:46.000So I've gone as far as to say that the officers who have brought a child into this country, seen the phone number on their arm, called it, knowing it was sex trafficking, they should be prosecuted.
00:45:48.000Doesn't it go back because libertarians, you hear the government shouldn't legislate morality.
00:45:55.000So is that basically their argument that this is To prevent children from getting heroin is somehow imposing a moral code arbitrarily.
00:46:03.000But they won't follow it up by saying, and we should shame and ostracize and run out of business anyone who tries to sell heroin to children.
00:46:10.000Yeah, but the other thing that I don't get, because libertarians believe that there should be some laws, correct?
00:46:15.000So there's a lot of anarchists who lump themselves in with libertarianism.
00:46:20.000So you'll also find just minimal government libertarians.
00:46:22.000They want police and military just to keep our borders secure.
00:46:26.000Yeah, well, that's what gets me, is that if you, I guess, if you are rejecting all law entirely, that's a whole different, I think that's insane, but it's a whole different thing, but the don't legislate morality thing never made any sense to me, because literally any law that's ever been passed in the history of mankind, in any country, anywhere, has been a legislation of morality, and that's the basis for, why is something made illegal?
00:47:04.000We actually didn't need laws for a long time.
00:47:07.000When society was a bit smaller, you didn't need it because people just agreed to function in the society whether something was right or wrong.
00:47:14.000Or a big guy would come in and beat you up.
00:47:19.000And what happens is, as cultures break apart, and you get many different cultures, you begin to have to write down the way things should be and show them to people.
00:47:46.000Most countries didn't write them down because the idea was the people and what constitutes them is known to the people.
00:47:53.000But in the United States, understanding in the early days that we had so many different states and people lived different climates and everything, they said, we better write this down.
00:48:02.000So where we are now is actually quite simple.
00:48:05.000Matt, if everybody shared your moral structure and worldview, you would need no police and no standing armies.
00:48:13.000The world would be a perfect place if everyone just agreed.
00:48:15.000Because everyone just admitted that I'm right.
00:48:48.000In a just and moral society, where does insurance come from?
00:48:52.000Original insurance was, when people lived near each other, if my house burns down, you help me rebuild, because if yours burned down, I help you rebuild.
00:48:58.000We were a community that shared values, shared morals.
00:49:02.000In the United States, they would go to church every week.
00:49:34.000And I believe this is true for many people in the United States of all different backgrounds, but largely of Christians, that if they all shared the same moral values, there would be no need for police.
00:50:33.000It's a hypothetical that doesn't exist.
00:50:34.000And so we write things down because it doesn't exist.
00:50:38.000Yeah, I mean, I don't think of it as utopia.
00:50:40.000You know, I'm not ever trying to achieve utopia or anything realistic.
00:50:43.000I think what I'm trying to do, especially right now, since I've been sort of thrust into this real-world politicking, is what is the bare minimum?
00:50:54.000All of this crap that we've been talking about, where the justice system has been weaponized and abused and it's grown into just this monster.
00:51:02.000Like, what is the bare minimum that we can function at?
00:51:04.000And what is preventing us from functioning at that bare minimum?
00:51:07.000Is it hordes of people from another culture who are here trying to take advantage?
00:51:12.000People are trying to take advantage of them as they come in.
00:51:43.000I think there's another way to say it, and it's that the United States has become increasingly less religious.
00:51:48.000This is a country where the founding documents are largely built upon the Christian moral tradition.
00:51:54.000Whether the founding fathers were deist, secular, or otherwise doesn't matter.
00:51:58.000We talk about it quite a bit, but many of the amendments, the ideas of property rights, they are literally rooted in the Christian moral tradition.
00:52:05.000And over the past several decades, past couple of generations, We have what Dennis Prager referred to as, I think he calls it cut stem or cut flower politics, where we have removed a generation from the roots of this nation, and we hold the flower and talk about how beautiful it is as it withers and dies.
00:52:40.000Now kids grow up and they watch a dude dry hump Satan on TV. The morals are just completely gone.
00:52:48.000Even worse, though, is the fact that we have people parading themselves around as supposed Christians, like the heretic bishop in this city.
00:52:56.000They've recreated Christ in their own image.
00:53:14.000You can have laws in place, you can have these principles in place, but why are they there?
00:53:17.000And even something as basic as the concept of a right, a human right, and we think of this as this universal concept, and we think of it now as a secular concept even, and people who are totally secular and atheists talk about human rights all the time.
00:53:36.000But all you have to do is just go follow the thread of a human right, just follow it for a few steps, and you get to a point where, wait a second, what does that mean?
00:54:10.000What do you mean you have a right to it?
00:54:11.000Then a right is nothing but a totally arbitrary thing that was written on a piece of paper, and then the people, what that means is that you could just take it off the piece of paper, and it doesn't make any sense for you to say, well, wait a minute, you took away my rights.
00:54:25.000And this is why the liberals argue as of the Constitution granted us rights.
00:54:39.000A lot of why people have rejected religion, in my opinion, is because they're rejecting authority and being told by a preacher or a priest, this is the way it is.
00:54:47.000Because you've seen corruption within churches from time to time.
00:54:50.000But the thing is, there's always going to be an author in your life.
00:54:52.000There's always going to be an external authority.
00:54:53.000And that becomes the television, if you're not careful.
00:54:55.000When you talk to a lot of atheists and agnostic people, They tend to sound like teenagers that are mad at their dad.
00:56:33.000The Trump administration has implemented the new one-flag policy requiring all U.S. embassies and government outposts, both domestic and international, to exclusively fly the American flag.
00:56:42.000It is absolutely creepy and a bit terrifying that U.S. embassies and outposts were flying a flag of ideology.
00:56:56.000Well, no, they put the black and the brown stripe on it.
00:56:57.000And often flying them in countries, it's a deliberate act of antagonizing a lot of these countries, countries that don't believe in this nonsense.
00:57:06.000And this is another one of those things that, you know, it goes to show that what we consider conservative policy ideas, the vast majority of them, are really just common sense.
00:57:34.000And yet, these kinds of things were happening all over the place, and as much as the left talks about democracy and the will of the people, they were happening even though the vast majority of people don't support it, and the only reason they got away with it is because the vast majority of people didn't really know that it was happening.
00:57:50.000Reference the comment that I was just making.
00:57:52.000Everyone knows that if you put up a flag with a Christian cross on it or anything like that, the left would have had an absolute aneurysm.
00:58:01.000And those flags are, without a doubt, a religious flag to the left.
00:58:06.000So the fact that these things are being taken down, the left is having an absolute fit about it because you're...
00:58:13.000You're mocking their religion, and they really look like they had conquered Christianity in the United States, which I think would be a terrible thing.
00:58:21.000Again, even though I'm generally an agnostic dude, I think that having gender ideology as the religion that the United States worships, I think there's probably nothing that's worse for society, considering what you end up with is cutting the body parts off of children.
00:59:07.000Yeah, I guess people were upset about that, but whatever.
00:59:10.000And there's been an effort throughout my life to try and make the claim that the US government should never have these things but are part of our moral tradition.
00:59:19.000And so if I go to a court building or I go to an embassy and there's something related to Christianity, it's just normal.
00:59:25.000It's been that way in this country for a long time.
00:59:27.000It is the root of our morality in this country.
00:59:29.000To replace that with an insane ideology that harms children is devastating.
00:59:38.000The philosophical approach I've been taking, the way I've been approaching this for the past, I guess, year or so, has been more post-liberal.
00:59:47.000This idea of these universal principles apply to all things is just incorrect.
00:59:51.000And this, as an example, came when I was debating Bobby Sauce on the issue of TikTok.
00:59:56.000And he said, look, we don't believe in big government, so we shouldn't give the government the power to do these things.
01:00:03.000There are some things that are morally good.
01:00:05.000There are some things that are morally bad.
01:00:07.000Just because we ban one doesn't mean we ban all.
01:00:11.000People make the argument that if we implement a law that will stop the left from doing this one bad thing, later on they can use it against us.
01:00:20.000And it's like, okay, well, they're doing a bad thing now.
01:00:23.000We're not going to let them keep doing it just because one day someone might do another bad thing.
01:00:26.000We stop things we don't like that are bad, and that is they're flying these flags of ideology that are Abhorrent.
01:00:34.000And have been destructed to this country.
01:01:02.000And a stark reminder of what was sacrificed, which was pretty heavy stuff there.
01:01:07.000But if Jesus was like, I'm not going to do it, I'm not going to do it, and they're like, then die, and they put a gun to his head and killed him, and then they put the gun on the flag, I'd be like, bro, he still got sacrificed.
01:01:15.000First of all, you're arguing something entirely different.
01:01:17.000I know, it's not even the point of the story.
01:01:19.000I want to stress this, that there is this, as I mentioned, this long-standing effort my whole life to say that religion should be entirely separate, the separation of church and state and all of these things.
01:01:31.000But it is, in our Constitution, in our founding documents, literally, what helped the Founding Fathers craft this country that worked so well was quite literally the Christian religion.
01:01:44.000I don't follow the same beliefs as Matt, and some people have told me I will burn it out, whatever, but I understand logic.
01:01:49.000And I can look at the history of this country and see where we are and why we got here and the beliefs that led us to this place and say, those were good things, largely.
01:02:00.000Which means we've improved upon ourselves.
01:02:02.000How did we come to the point where we developed these ideas, wrote them down, and it's our moral tradition?
01:02:08.000So, again, if I see a school and they tell kids, like, here are some of the things that we believe, we want to put the Ten Commandments in a courtroom or whatever, I'm like, yeah, I don't care.
01:02:41.000It's part of our identity as a nation, which is why you're exactly right that there is a major difference between a freaking pride flag and a cross.
01:02:50.000The pride flag has nothing to do with the history of this nation.
01:02:58.000Now the cross, and I know you were being a bit, you know, you didn't mean it totally seriously, and I hear this kind of comment, well, why the cross?
01:03:07.000And you say it in kind of a flippant way, but it's a valid question.
01:03:28.000But our civilization was built under this symbol.
01:03:33.000People marched under this symbol, not just in this country, but across the Western world.
01:03:38.000And we live in the civilization that we do, and every good thing that we have in our lives is really because people believed in the cross, and they went out and they did incredible things, and they fought and they died for the sake of the cross.
01:03:55.000And so, I think that even if I wasn't Christian, and it's hard for me to put myself in that mindset, but even if I wasn't Christian, as someone who respects history, and who is a big fan of Western civilization, the civilization I live in, it's a great civilization, I would still have a respect for the cross for that reason alone.
01:04:47.000The reason why we live in this country right now and why this whole hemisphere is not currently dominated by stone-aged, savage cultures who rip the hearts out of their enemies and eat them and kill and enslave women and children.
01:05:05.000The reason why that's not the case is that people came here primarily To spread the Christian gospel.
01:05:16.000Mel Gibson does a real good job, doesn't he?
01:05:18.000I believe in the power of Christianity and the general ethos of the meaning of the story and everything, a lot about it.
01:05:24.000But I'm also nervous about icons and worshipping icons because the whole Elon threw his hand out and it's like, bro, it's the meaning behind the symbol.
01:05:31.000Like the swastika was the wheel of life.
01:05:51.0001992, I think it was 1992 special, where George Carlin literally says every racial slur imaginable and then ends by calling Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor the N-word.
01:08:23.000I think about the Hebrew alphabet, the ancient...
01:08:26.000The ancient texts of the Hebrew alphabet, I think they were sitting, like if you study cymatics where you'll change the frequency and you have like sand on a vibrating membrane, you get these wild shapes and patterns will appear depending on what frequency.
01:08:36.000So these dudes are on a beach and they have a goatskin and they're playing the drums and they're throwing sand gets on the drums and they go, oh, they make a certain sound and then it makes a certain pattern.
01:09:18.000So in it, you can see them type in Free Palestine as a comment.
01:09:22.000They then, they're watching Hassan of all people, go to their notifications and refresh and refresh and sure enough, they show system notification.
01:09:34.000A comment you posted on the date was removed for violating our community guidelines.
01:09:40.000Now, apparently a bunch of people are reporting this, that when you go on TikTok and type in Free Palestine, you will get the comment removed.
01:10:18.000Using another, my free Palestine comments were immediately removed, repeatedly, and I received a notification that I had violated the TikTok community guidelines.
01:10:26.000I could comment with a nonsense phrase, free shavocado, using the same account, however, and TikTok didn't remove it.
01:10:34.000A spokesperson for TikTok told 404 the platform's policies and algorithms did not change over the weekend, adding that they're working on restoring U.S. operations back to normal.
01:10:41.000What I've heard from a lot of these people, they believe there's a conspiracy.
01:10:45.000That when TikTok went dark, Donald Trump took it over and that it was now under the control of Israeli interests or something to that effect.
01:10:53.000Is that illegal to say in another country?
01:12:04.000So the reason why this story is pretty big is because the argument was, and I believe this is true, it was only after October 7th and pro-Palestinian content became prominent on TikTok that Democrats got on board with Republicans to force China to divest.
01:12:21.000I believe as we've gone over ad nauseum, for those of you that watch every show, we put the data from Axios that seems to suggest TikTok made an algorithmic change to promote pro-Palestinian content.
01:12:32.000After October 7th, there was 123,000 pro-Palestine comments.
01:12:50.000I'm saying, after this change happened, Democrats all of a sudden changed their tune and said, yeah, we actually think this app should be banned.
01:12:57.000Now, if it is true that TikTok is actually banning free Palestine, Perhaps they are trying to now court favor with those that sought their forced divestiture.
01:13:06.000Is it that Democrats don't like Palestine or they don't like China?
01:13:11.000Democrats are, presumably, the argument is, after this, what appears to be an algorithmic change, many groups lobbied to Democrats saying China has altered the algorithm in a way that subverts U.S. foreign policy interests.
01:13:32.000The reality is, if it is true that ByteDance or TikTok or whatever changed the algorithm, going against American foreign policy, whatever it may be, is going to be terrifying to American politicians.
01:13:50.000And so they're going to say, hey, that's a security threat.
01:13:53.000And as much as a lot of people who hate Israel are saying it's a conspiracy, that's true.
01:13:58.000No, these politicians were on TV talking about this.
01:14:01.000Democrats and Republicans went on TV and said, the support, you know, the attacks on Israel that we see on the platform, it's bad for this country.
01:14:07.000So this has some people now speculating that TikTok was either seized, which is the conspiracy, by the U.S., or this is what they need to do to avoid being banned, which is not the case.
01:15:15.000I think he's better on this just across the board than Biden was.
01:15:18.000The reason I even brought that up is because I think that's why you're seeing this shift is because they're sympathetic to Trump being in office.
01:15:24.000And I'm like, well, he's pro-Israel, so let's go a little less pro-power.
01:15:30.000TikTok is going to want to operate four years safely, so they're going to throw Trump and conservatives a bone or whoever needs to hear it.
01:15:36.000And then once Trump's out of office, they're going to bomb the algorithm with Dylan Mulvaney and other like-minded ideas that subvert the minds of the next generation.
01:15:44.000And right now, it seems that many people in the conservative movement are in favor of what TikTok is doing.
01:16:04.000No more welfare queens across the world.
01:16:06.000I mean, I'm surprised that they wouldn't censor something like from the river to the sea instead of free Palestine, which seems a little bit more innocuous.
01:17:53.000It says, 90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance for assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with United States foreign policy.
01:17:59.000All department agency heads with responsibility for United States foreign development assistance programs shall immediately pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds to foreign countries and implementing non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors pending reviews of such programs for programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States policy.
01:18:15.000To be connected with 90 days of this order, the OMB shall enforce this, blah, blah, blah.
01:18:18.000PBS is reporting that some of the biggest recipients of U.S. assistance, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, are unlikely to see dramatic reductions as those amounts are included in long-term packages that date back decades or in some cases governed by treaty obligations.
01:19:33.000Why would we allow a foreign country to control mass media in the United States and a strong portion, not the biggest, not a majority, but a strong portion of our economy?
01:19:42.000Couldn't we have worked out some other sort of deal so that that didn't happen?
01:19:58.000Because then they just show us that they're screwing over Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and we watch them do it.
01:20:05.000Look, what people need to understand about TikTok or any other social media platform, even X, Facebook, YouTube, etc., is that they're going to apply a...
01:20:13.000The system is going to be built on pressures they can apply.
01:20:17.000What YouTube did, and this is proven by data, was they created a recommendation algorithm that favored the left by a small percentage, but substantial.
01:20:27.000With the intention of stopping Donald Trump.
01:20:30.000There was a researcher in Australia who posted this, and you could see that if you went to a conservative YouTuber's channel, after you watched their video, there was a certain percentage of recommendation that would be liberal-leaning.
01:20:43.000If you went to a liberal channel, you would get very little, if any, conservative.
01:20:49.000Meaning, if someone said, hey, watch this video about immigration from Matt Walsh, and you clicked on it, After you were done, it would autoplay a liberal arguing the opposite.
01:20:58.000If someone said, hey, watch this video from the Young Turks, and you clicked it, the next video would be another liberal arguing the same thing.
01:21:05.000That creates a flow towards the ideology they want.
01:21:18.000The difference is that in the United States, I can file a lawsuit against YouTube, but we can elect a president who then issues an executive order, and YouTube bends the knee and apologizes.
01:21:25.000I can file lawsuits about violation of contracts.
01:21:28.000I can't do that with the Chinese Communist Party.
01:21:30.000How much of TikTok is owned by China, though?
01:21:32.000I thought it was not the entire company.
01:22:07.000Prominent Trump-supporting and conservative voices were banned.
01:22:11.000And that's why Trump and conservatives came out initially and said, we have to shut this down.
01:22:16.000They're attempting to swing the politics of the United States.
01:22:18.000Let me ask you that, because this is an issue that I haven't staked out very firm ground on, which is one of the things that sucks about what we do is that everything that happens, you're never allowed to go, hmm, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about that.
01:22:31.000You have to immediately know exactly how you feel.
01:22:33.000But sometimes I'm just like, okay, I can kind of see it from both ways.
01:22:36.000And this is one of those things, I can kind of see it both ways.
01:22:40.000And I do agree with you that, to me, the more compelling aspect of the argument is about how this is harmful to kids and how it's polluting the minds of children.
01:22:51.000To me, just as a parent, the way that I think, I care more about that.
01:22:55.000The stuff about, oh, the Chinese government is, well, it's like, everything we do on our phone, nothing we do is private.
01:23:13.000But then my issue with that is, you know, okay, so you ban TikTok.
01:23:19.000Well, then there's approximately 600 billion other websites and apps that are just as harmful to the young mind, and then they just go to that.
01:23:29.000So part of me thinks, if we're going to get to the point, now like banning an app, that's a big step.
01:23:35.000And I'm not necessarily opposed to big steps.
01:23:36.000Sometimes you gotta, especially to protect kids, big steps, okay.
01:23:40.000But it's like, I wouldn't start with TikTok.
01:23:43.000I would start with, like, we're not OnlyFans.
01:23:47.000I mean, it's literally a prostitution app.
01:23:50.000This is a multi-billion dollar cyber prostitution ring.
01:23:57.000And then start talking about some of these social media apps.
01:24:02.000The way I view it is, we here in the United States have a set of rules, laws, and absolutely, let's have Congress ban OnlyFans, or at least require submitted IDs to these things to prove your age and protect children the way we would in the real world.
01:24:20.000And so my view is largely, two things can be bad.
01:24:25.000So right now my concern is, I'll put it this way, YouTube, Facebook, X, they were manipulating us.
01:26:03.000But I am uncomfortable to see some conservatives seem like have circled the wagon around TikTok to the point that they're now, like, very pro-TikTok, where TikTok is a good thing.
01:26:16.000And no matter where you stand on the ban, we should all at least be on the same page that this is just objectively not good.
01:26:23.000To have kids who just spend all day scrolling this damn thing and watching these videos, your whole life is this.
01:26:30.000I mean, we've got kids, this is their whole life now.
01:26:33.000Their whole life is just, and I know a billion other people complain about this, but this is a major crisis to have entire generations of kids.
01:28:13.000And as soon as Mulvaney did the trans thing and got a bunch of views, Mulvaney then started doubling down, increasingly undergoing body modification to adhere to what the algorithm had demanded of him, now making Dylan Mulvaney what Mulvaney is today.
01:28:28.000If you look at some of the earliest Dylan Mulvaney Days of Girlhood videos, it is obvious.
01:28:37.000Dylan Mulvaney undergoing no treatments or surgeries, insulting women in a comedic routine, saying, now that I'm a woman, I'm going to go buy a dress that costs too much money and complain about, you know, just very offensive stereotypes about women.
01:28:51.000But how do you chase the algorithm if every day you have to do one degree more instead of going back to doing gay safari, which wasn't popular?
01:28:59.000Dylan Mulvaney did what the algorithm told him to do, which is get surgery.
01:29:04.000The algorithms are all bad, and they harm children, but I want to connect it to how we were talking about rights and crime earlier.
01:29:10.000I think we need a renaissance in good parenting again, because I see so many parents outsourcing their parenting to the internet, and these kids are stuck in Doomscroll life, and they need to get back to actually raising children.
01:29:25.000I just want to speak to that for a minute, and I hear that response anytime I talk about, I mean, one of my big issues is, At least age verification on all these porn sites.
01:30:33.000Eventually, they're going to have a phone.
01:30:34.000And for a lot of other kids, they do have phones.
01:30:38.000I'm opposed to giving your kids a phone, but it's not this extreme move.
01:30:43.000And then also, even if you don't give your kid a phone, if they go to school somewhere, my kids are homeschooled, but if they go to school somewhere, they're around kids that have it.
01:30:58.000The parent, you can't, unless you're going to lock your kid in a room until they're 18 years old and give them no access to any kind of media, unless you're going to do that, they're going to have access to it.
01:31:09.000But then there's this attitude of like, we're not going to do anything to help parents on this at all.
01:31:28.000I was talking with Allison about this, because we're having our kids soon, and I said, why don't we build an underground bunker where everything looks like the 90s, and we will raise our child for 18 years as if it was the 90s, the 90s technology, and you can't go outside because the air is poisonous, and then one day...
01:31:45.000When she's old enough, expose her to what the world is really like.
01:31:48.000I mean, the other concern, aside from parenting, though, is millions of people had shops on here and they made a living on here.
01:32:00.000And they weren't all just, like, insufferable Dylan Mulvaney clickbaiters.
01:32:05.000They sold t-shirts, they sold mugs, like a TikTok shop.
01:32:12.000They dangle a crying woman in front of you and say, but look at the poor asylum seeker as the child traffickers are running across the border.
01:32:18.000So TikTok says, we have 7 million entrepreneurs selling mugs and shirts.
01:32:23.000Why won't you let us corrupt the mind of your children?
01:32:25.000And I say, I'm not going to be swayed by the sympathies of these people.
01:33:33.000And the question I have for you guys then is, if it's about making money and running a business, and ByteDance only owns a portion, or China only owns a portion, these investors only own a portion, why not just sell?
01:33:46.000You've got the brunt of the U.S. government saying sell or lose everything.
01:33:49.000They chose to go to zero instead of...
01:34:02.000I truly believe that if TikTok isn't, like if the Chinese Communist Party is removed from TikTok totally, then it's not, it's of no value to the Chinese Communist Party.
01:34:12.000So they don't want to divest because it's an apparatus of money.
01:34:18.000Money is not a consideration for the Chinese Communist Party.
01:34:22.000You have to ask yourself, especially in international exchange, what is money?
01:34:26.000Money is largely meaningless on the oil market.
01:34:28.000So when we say China divest TikTok, There should be a divorce divestiture.
01:34:35.000$10 billion doesn't move the needle for us.
01:34:38.000The ability to convince 170 million Americans that Osama bin Laden was right, which was happening on TikTok, is worth more than a trillion dollars to these people.
01:34:48.000It's absolutely about espionage and influencing American opinion.
01:34:53.000I think if they did sell to an American company, they would have the algorithm.
01:34:55.000They'd be like, you've been doing what for the last five years with our people?
01:35:14.000I believe there's a conservative billionaire who owns a small piece, and the reporting is several prominent individuals in Trump's sphere were paid to lobby on behalf of TikTok, and they did.
01:35:26.000And so while I deeply respect Charlie Kirk for all the work he did in helping Trump get elected, I will absolutely criticize his one...
01:35:33.000180-degree spin from demanding the ban of TikTok over and over again to the, without any real reason, I don't understand why, he flipped and said, Trump saved TikTok.
01:36:08.000I've not heard an explanation where he said it's no longer a threat from the CCP. Well, I mean, and I'm not familiar with his view then versus now, but I will say in fairness to Charlie that, you know, people change their views on this.
01:36:23.000You know, people change their opinions.
01:36:27.000Like I said, one of the problems being in our position is that we have to have an opinion on everything right away.
01:36:30.000The other thing is that whatever your opinion is, it has to stay that forever.
01:36:33.000You're not allowed to change your opinion.
01:36:37.000I would agree with it to a certain extent.
01:36:38.000Some things are fact questions that I don't understand why your opinion would change.
01:36:42.000Matt, if you ever came to me and told me you decided to agree on child sex changes, I'd think someone hit you on the head or something like that.
01:37:40.000From my perspective, on the right, it's been a little different for the last couple of weeks because of the feeling of victory and everything.
01:38:23.000There were a few prominent individuals who came out in favor of TikTok, like a 180, and then lesser, I don't mean lesser morally, but like smaller personalities with lesser followings, all of a sudden inverted their positions as well, and started arguing, I would...
01:38:38.000Look, with all due respect, I'm going to criticize people where they deserve it.
01:38:41.000Riley Gaines posted an image of Chinese farmland in the United States and said, how is TikTok a bigger threat than this?
01:38:48.000My first response is, a single federal agent with a clipboard can seize all of that farmland with no question.
01:38:55.000But you can't seize back the mind of 170 million people.
01:38:58.000Outside of that, the image that was shared by Riley showed that the entire island of Hawaii had been purchased by China, which is clearly not correct.
01:39:05.000So there are people sharing these fake memes.
01:39:08.000They're engaging in sophistry to defend a platform that has a foreign adversary in control of it, and there doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason.
01:39:18.000I'm sure you've thought about this, but if you had Charlie and Riley or whoever else on the show and you guys debated this, as someone who's a squishy fence rider on this thing, I'd be very interested to watch...
01:40:43.000And individuals were using computer programs to just generate what...
01:40:48.000They would look at the YouTube API and look at what was hitting views for children.
01:40:53.000And then they would inject those things into a program which would auto-generate these videos, which became increasingly disturbing.
01:41:00.000Videos of a teddy bear brutally beating a child while the child is forced to eat out of a toilet were getting tens of thousands, millions of views.
01:41:10.000And then you got the Finger Family song, where people in India started making these absolutely insane videos, the most famous of which was Hitler.
01:41:20.000With a woman's body in a bikini doing Tai Chi with the Incredible Hulk while an Indian family sang the song Finger Family.
01:41:31.000So when I see problems like this, and this is causing psychological disorders in children, because this is not reality, where we end up in 10 years, things are starting to get a bit crazier as these kids are growing up.
01:41:45.000The algorithmic problems we saw with the pushing of wokeness and other leftist ideas was corrupting a generation.
01:41:56.000And I felt very optimistic, especially now with Mark Zuckerberg apologizing with Elon Musk buying X. Now we have TikTok, which is unaccountable and doing the exact same thing.
01:42:07.000And we have conservatives cheering for...
01:42:09.000TikTok to remain able to continue doing what we have been fighting for nearly a decade.
01:42:29.000A technocratic, like a cyborg human that is...
01:42:32.000Fully rely on this, that has the AI doing its thinking for it, becomes a hive mind, and literally that there will be a war between these species like Neanderthal and Hominid, a Homo sapien.
01:42:42.000Like, you can't have two alpha species on the planet.
01:43:43.000I said Trump would be a marginally good president like he was in his first term.
01:43:46.000He'll get another chance to do so, but in these past few days, the dude walked right up and hit a grand slam.
01:43:52.000So I'm much, much more optimistic, and I would change my statement to say, I believe Trump is going to be the greatest president of my lifetime.
01:44:10.000I'm skeptical of Project Stargate and building a digital god with the $500 billion shrine to AI that all those companies are putting together that he announced yesterday.
01:44:49.000I don't think that he's a stand-up guy.
01:44:51.000But that being said, People that are concerned about AI overall, I mean, look, if the United States doesn't do it, China or another country is going to.
01:45:09.000I don't believe that it's going to replace humans.
01:45:12.000But I do think that if you allow, if we don't have the, if we're not cutting edge on AI, then you're going to fall behind.
01:45:22.000A country like China that is on the rise can use the incredible benefits that AI will bring to a marketplace and can overtake a country like the United States.
01:45:32.000And they're selling Stargate as these beautiful benefits, the same way Elon sells Neuralink, which the short-term benefits are beautiful.
01:46:03.000And I think mRNAs got really vilified over the last five years because of a lot of the mandates of the vaccines and things that the mRNA was new.
01:46:12.000It could be extremely valuable to be, but you are right about it tailoring and mapping your genetics and having access to it, which could also create bioweapons, particularly against your genetics.
01:46:23.000We'll just try to move on and get some, We got this from SM69. He says, That's creepy.
01:46:45.000That's what I was referring to earlier, though, that they're trying to rename these departments to avoid getting terminated.
01:47:40.000But thankfully, because of platforms like X and people that are looking to facilitate the change, these things are going to be brought to the attention of the people in charge.
01:47:50.000And hopefully, they'll be able to make adjustments and actually...
01:47:58.000We'll find them, and we'll say, like, good job on trying to hide that.
01:48:03.000Best of luck in the private sector, and see you later.
01:48:06.000You know, thanks for making my day more entertaining, and you're out.
01:48:08.000Tyler Bratton says, The Chicken Amendment is already covered under one of the greatest amendments, the Ninth Amendment, which states, Wrong, I say!
01:48:23.000So, the purpose there is that, Just because we enshrine some rights doesn't mean other rights are not, you know, non-existent or whatever.
01:48:30.000The problem is we do need to write down the things that we want to be upheld because there are many states that ban chicken ownership.
01:48:38.000And it was funny because I was talking with Thomas Massey.
01:48:41.000I don't know if you mentioned this on the show.
01:48:43.000I think it was before the show, perhaps.
01:48:45.000An amendment for the right to grow your own food and be secure in your ability to eat and grow healthy food and things like this.
01:48:53.000Because he has an Amish raw milk supplier, I guess he was talking about.
01:48:57.000And my joke was that the chicken amendment, we wrote it up to be silly and to be in the style of how they would have written it a long time ago in reflecting the second amendment, which is the joke, but that it would be interpreted to mean more than chickens.
01:51:06.000So I think the more interesting contrarian view on milk is what someone told me that, well, really, humans shouldn't be drinking cow's milk at all.
01:51:58.000All you gotta do is scroll Instagram long enough and you will find one of these stories where it's like a mama cat adopted an orphaned mammal of some sort and things like this.
01:52:06.000Yeah, but the adult animal of that species doesn't drink milk.
01:54:05.000Okay, so it's like this really great melody that's very heartfelt, and the lyrics are like, it's you, it's you, it's all for you.
01:54:10.000But she's actually singing about just putting on a skimpy outfit while her boyfriend drinks and plays video games, and she goes down on him.
01:54:16.000And I'm like, you know, if she actually wrote, like, my husband came back from war, and I was longing for him, and I was scared and terrified, I've done all of this for you.
01:54:27.000I'd be like, wow, that's such an amazing song.
01:54:29.000Who is this, Lana Del Rey we're talking about?
01:56:20.000If I was starving and my children were starving and someone had food and I went up and asked them for the food and they wouldn't give me any, I would then steal it from them.
01:56:43.000But my point is just that I understand you feel forced to do so because you have a great calling to protect your children, but it's still a choice.
01:56:58.000It's crazy to me that humans throughout all of history figured it out, but now with civilization, with this scenario where it's like, I had no choice but to rob the marketplace.
01:57:49.000The overwhelming, even among liberals, secular liberals, in the 90s and millennials today, they don't know it, but they have Judeo-Christian moral foundations.
01:58:00.000Bill Maher, who is the host of Religious, has Christian moral foundations.
01:58:08.000I don't know to what extent he's actually researched his values and where they come from, but they come from the Christian moral tradition.
01:58:15.000The easiest way to understand it is go to any Eastern Hemisphere country and ask them why they don't have the Fifth Amendment, why they don't have speedy trials, why they don't have a right to confront their accusers.
01:58:40.000We are allowed to see what they do with their funds, and they can't engage in politics.
01:58:43.000And when these liberals say, wow, these churches shouldn't be allowed to do this, that, or otherwise, I'm like, okay, if you want to ban that, if you want to say churches shouldn't be tax-exempt, because that was a big argument liberals were putting forth for a while, I'll say, totally correct, and we'll get rid of 501c3s at the same time.
01:58:57.000I could see the charitable aspects of churches being tax-free, but other aspects of the churches being taxed.
02:00:36.000We've got the Uncensored pre-show with Angela McConnell talking about how she met Trump and the pardoning of Ross Ulbricht and what Trump represents.
02:00:46.000And, of course, you get access to our Discord server where there's tens of thousands of people that are asking why you don't want to be their friends.
