Trump renames the Gulf of Mexico to the The Gulf of America, a homeless person in California starts a wildfire, and a bag of gingerbread coffee comes with a picture of a guy dressed like Santa Claus.
00:00:23.000only describe as an epic press conference, Donald Trump said that we're going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America because you can just do things.
00:01:04.000Trump was likely referring to using economic negotiations against Panama because there's a deep concern that Chinese companies are largely in control of the Panama Canal.
00:01:12.000So it makes no sense that the U.S. has given up this access considering we built it.
00:01:17.000But we'll talk about that, plus a bunch of other crazy stories.
00:01:20.000This morning, Meta announced their ending censorship.

00:03:46.000There's pre-shows, there's aftershows, tons of extra content.
00:03:55.000Founding Fathers organized a revolution meeting in bars and pubs.
00:03:59.000And we've got a Discord server so you can connect with like-minded individuals because it is this organization that helps win elections and shapes the future of culture in this country.
00:04:12.000When they do rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and every mapmaker in the country starts basking in dollar bills and making it rain on each other as they reissue new maps, you played a role in it.
00:04:39.000Just got done winning Pennsylvania with our Pennsylvania Chase program and excited to continue to fight for liberty, but excited to be here with you, Tim.
00:04:50.000I'm Raymond G. Stanley Jr., American Marine veteran, bass mind with a lick of laughter, and I'm looking forward to talking about some Manifest Destiny.
00:05:07.000Trump floats using force to take Greenland and the Panama Canal.
00:05:12.000I would love to see a movie of just, like, U.S. troops storming the beaches of Greenland and the people of Greenland.
00:05:18.000Welcoming them as liberators of the evil Danish empire.
00:05:21.000But in all seriousness, the New York Times says President-elect Donald J. Trump refused on Tuesday to rule out the use of military or economic coercion to force Panama to give up control of the canal that America built more than a century ago and to push Denmark to sell Greenland to the United States.
00:05:40.000Look, they say in a rambling hour long news conference, Mr. Trump repeatedly returned to the theme of American sacrifice in building the canal and accused China falsely of operating it today.
00:05:51.000When pressed on the question of whether he might order the military to force Panama to give it up in violation of treaties and other agreements reach reach during the Carter administration, we're all we all think fondly of the Carter administration, or do the same with Greenland, he said, no, I can't assure you on either of those two.
00:06:16.000Mr. Trump's statements propelled his repeated calls for expanding American territory to a new level, one that is bound to royal three American allies, Panama, Denmark, which handles Greenland's foreign and security affairs, and Canada, which he has mocked as America's 51st state.
00:07:23.000I could honestly envision a situation where Panama was a flashpoint for a larger conflict, so possibly a conflict between the United States and China, particularly seeing as that's the reason that there's any kind of friction going, you know, friction between the U.S. and Panama as it is.
00:10:11.000Donald Trump spoke on Truth Social about a tariff.
00:10:16.000And Trudeau was removed from office, basically.
00:10:20.000I mean, he's still there, but he's basically done.
00:10:22.000His career is over because Trump said some words on the internet.
00:10:25.000Canada is basically a vassal of the U.S. as it is, so we don't need them to interfere in our politics.
00:10:31.000Trump's going to get in, and if he puts a tariff on Canadian goods, they will drop to their knees and beg Trump to stop, and Trump need only say, you're going to do what we tell you to do.
00:10:40.000I don't understand why Canada gets to suckle the teat of America.
00:10:45.000And we give them special deals so that they can live in luxury.
00:10:49.000And then when Trump says, we're going to put a tariff on your goods because it is only by our good graces you get free trade in the first place.
00:11:32.000I mean, the amount of money that we pour into NATO and somehow we have an equal vote, you know, and it's like, oh, well, you know, and that's just been that way for years.
00:11:41.000That's why I think you look at this photo of Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk and Sergio Gore standing there.
00:11:47.000It's like, you know, look, obviously this is all going to be peaceful, I would predict at this point.
00:11:54.000But I think that, yeah, aren't we just kind of tired of getting...
00:11:59.000We always are the ones that it's never fair for us, and that's just accepted.
00:12:03.000That's what's crazy about the Panama thing.
00:12:06.000You've got the New York Times saying, Donald Trump would violate treaties set by Carter.
00:12:10.000It's like, oh, we all hold Carter in such great reverence.
00:12:45.000The US Navy makes international trade much safer.
00:12:50.000That's why whatever you think of the US overall, just the fact that we have made the seas safer international trade has made the United States a net positive for the world.
00:13:04.000No matter what else someone wants to criticize the US for, the reason that all of the countries around the world can...
00:13:12.000Can send their goods around the world and about the only place that you have to worry about is if you're off the coast of Somalia.
00:13:22.000Yeah, because they get a little wacky.
00:13:25.000But other than that, the U.S. does have the authority to say you can't dictate terms on the Panama Canal because we built it and we keep the rest of the world safe to trade.
00:13:40.000Who would go to his kid and say, shut your mouth.
00:13:42.000If you want to buy the video game, go mow some lawns and make some money.
00:13:46.000And then it turned into the desperate aging cool mom who was like, I'll give you anything you want if you just pretend like you like me and you think I'm cool.
00:13:53.000This idea that the New York Times is like, we should just give all of these things to every other country.
00:13:58.000It's like, yeah, okay, well that will destroy the United States.
00:14:25.000And so that's why I've long said with Ukraine and Russia, Russia's in the wrong because they lost the soft power battle, which is subterfuge, which is economics and all of these things, so they resorted to physical violence.
00:14:37.000If we're going to be playing any kind of game, it's we have the power economically.
00:15:41.000And to me, I mean, that's just, I still think that's one of the major reasons why he got elected, is this idea that people are tired of having no, I mean, Biden couldn't even speak a sentence, let alone pick up the phone to call these foreign dictators.
00:15:53.000Trump represented at least some rational thought.
00:15:56.000Afghanistan was the moment Joe Biden's approval rating inverted.
00:16:00.000Because we saw the death of U.S. men and women in uniform.
00:16:03.000We saw the complete and utter collapse of a 20-year investment of the United States, for better or for worse.
00:16:09.000If you want to argue we shouldn't have gone there in the first place, there was still an effort to maintain security and keep China and our enemies from seizing this territory.
00:16:16.000And it fell apart overnight because Joe Biden's a moron.
00:16:19.000The plans they had for Afghanistan, as Ian calls it, was a surrender.
00:16:23.000And every move they made, there's no logic within it.
00:16:26.000This flipped things in this country because many people in this country don't like war.
00:16:30.000So when you see tensions escalating, the expansion of ISIS, etc., you know what's funny is that in Trump's term, he crushes ISIS. No new wars.
00:16:58.000So I went there in 2014 at the start of the Yuramitan protest, which ultimately led to the ousting of Yanukovych, which ultimately led to the separatist movement and then what people were referring to as a civil war.
00:17:08.000I came back after Trump was president.
00:17:11.000And you know what my friend in Ukraine told me?
00:17:12.000No, no, we don't call it a civil war anymore.
00:17:15.000There's some fighting now, but it's really calming down.
00:18:42.000Have been popping up all over the place.
00:18:44.000There's one funny one where it's like Mexico is South America, then we're America, and then Canada is North America, and then Greenland is like American territory.
00:19:38.000It's just a little bit of friendly ribbing to our neighbor to the north, but people like Harry Sisson are just hall monitors and miserable awful people.
00:19:48.000So the Liberal Party of Canada said, for anyone who may be confused, and then Canada is not the United States, and then the U.S. is the U.S., I don't think they understand what conquest means.
00:21:19.000Canada will never be the 51st state period.
00:21:21.000We're a great and independent country.
00:21:23.000We're the best friend of the U.S. We spent billions of dollars and hundreds of lives helping Americans retaliate against Al-Qaeda's 9-11 attacks.
00:21:30.000We supply the U.S. with billions of dollars of high quality and totally reliable energy well below market price.
00:21:35.000We buy hundreds of billions of dollars of American goods.
00:21:43.000When I am Prime Minister, we will rebuild our military and take back control of the border to secure both Canada and the US. We will take back control of our Arctic to keep Russia and China out.
00:21:52.000We will axe taxes, slash red tape, and rapidly greenlight massive resource projects to bring home paychecks and production to our country.
00:22:00.000In other words, we will put Canada first.
00:23:42.000You'll have some of these Republican congressmen who always talk a big game.
00:23:46.000But Elon and Vivek have to make it very clear where is the battle, which bills, because the Swamp is going to do everything they can to just distort.
00:23:56.000I mean, this first battle with the CR, if you don't think the Swamp's not coming back with the same stuff.
00:24:12.000He's also said maybe multiple bills, but I don't care.
00:24:15.000I just want Doge, look, if they're going to do real things, let's say they're going to actually cut departments, let's say they're going to say we're going to cut spending, even 1% would be a record if it's actual cuts of 1%.
00:24:25.000It would be the most libertarian thing that has happened to the federal government in at least the past 40 years, probably ever.
00:24:33.000And let's say they say, hey, we're going to cut 10% of the staff of the bureaucracy, right?
00:25:08.000About tariffs on Canada, and it destroyed the Liberal Party leadership.
00:25:12.000We don't have to do much to make Canada do what we want them to do.
00:25:16.000I don't want Canada to be part of the U.S. either.
00:25:18.000To be fair, the Liberal Party and Trudeau have done so much damage to themselves in the past, however long Trudeau's been the Prime Minister.
00:25:27.000They've done so much damage that it doesn't take much to cause great damage.
00:25:34.000Because he's historically unpopular, if I understand correctly.
00:25:41.000But back to what you were saying about an omnibus bill.
00:25:43.000I was talking, me and Cliff were talking.
00:25:46.000I think that it's okay because if you want to get things like the wall built, want to get actual change to the policies regarding the border, if you want to get that kind of stuff and you put it in an omnibus bill, the omnibus bills are if you want to get that kind of stuff and you put it in They're going to have more stuff that you don't like, but they're going to have all the stuff that you do.
00:26:11.000And if you have it broken up into multiple bills, you're going to have a harder time getting these bills passed.
00:26:16.000Again, I bring up the makeup of the Senate and the House.
00:26:20.000The Republicans have a razor-thin lead.
00:26:24.000So what's going to have to happen to get anything done?
00:26:28.000It's going to have to be through working with the other side.
00:26:33.000We just don't have the votes to shove stuff through.
00:26:37.000I wish we did, and I would love it if we did.
00:26:41.000This is not some kind of endorsement of having a bunch of pork in the bill, but if you want real change with the border and with immigration...
00:26:49.000Put it in an omnibus and then let the Democrats stuff it with pork.
00:27:09.000Single issue bills would take a millennia and Trump would never get anything done.
00:27:12.000So the one argument I do accept is we're going to have to accept a lot of compromise to get through what we want to get through through an omnibus, even though we despise the omnibus CR, all that garbage strategy.
00:27:24.000I will accept if we want to get started immediately, then the Trump agenda needs a solid, straight package.
00:27:33.000That being said, my concern and why I don't like it, it's not just going to be pork.
00:28:34.000But if you don't have the votes, you don't have the votes.
00:28:36.000The government is set up the way that it's set up, and no matter how much we sit here and pontificate about how much we wish it wasn't this way or whatever, it doesn't matter.
00:28:44.000If we don't have the votes, we don't have the votes.
00:28:45.000And we have 18 months from when Trump goes in to get this stuff done.
00:28:50.000But this means, with these omnibus bills, Johnson's going to go to some Democrat and say, what do we got to do to get you to vote yes on this bill?
00:28:58.000Or he's going to go to the switch to Republicans, of course, and they're going to say, I want these compromises.
00:29:03.000And then they're going to try and get a narrow majority or whatever.
00:29:06.000They don't need that many Democrat votes to get through, but it does mean there's going to be some kooky stuff in there from weird districts.
00:29:19.000I really hate the idea of continuing the omnibus garbage, but I'm at the 50.1% mark of just get it through so that Trump can do what he needs to do.
00:29:29.000Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't happen at all.
00:29:53.000But then you can do it as much as he wants to annex Canada through executive order.
00:29:57.000But then, you know, they'd have to adjust it.
00:29:59.000I mean, listen, if the FBI, I'm just using numbers here, let's say the FBI gets $100 a year, obviously they get much more, and we cut 10% of their agents or these IRS agents or whatever you're looking at, you have to reduce the money.
00:30:11.000If you don't, they're going to spend the $100.
00:30:13.000They're going to spend what they're given, and it just means it goes to less people.
00:30:16.000So to me, and by the way, 18 months, I think we got 100 days.
00:30:20.000I do not think this is something where you get two years, you have 100 days to get things in motion, and then maybe 18 months to get them done.
00:30:29.000But this has to be just, I mean, every single day, they got to be firing things out.
00:30:45.000I do think, however, where it overlaps is there's going to be squishy Republicans and some Democrats that are going to be given a deal in order to vote for the omnibus package, which is going to block some of the Doge cuts.
00:30:56.000However, with the majority, slim as it may be, Republicans don't need to compromise that much.
00:31:02.000And so there may be some cuts that need to happen that don't happen, but...
00:31:06.000I do think we're in a net positive so far, as much as I don't like them going the omnibus route.
00:31:12.000I really don't know what else you'd do at this point.
00:31:17.000I just wonder if you guys would be okay with the money to Ukraine and Israel if, like, we got the border closed and, you know, got some of the MAGA agenda done.
00:31:27.000That's such a difficult question because this country will not survive.
00:31:34.000With the destructive immigration policies that have been happening over the past four years and even longer.
00:31:40.000And so the question is, should we exacerbate international conflict?
00:31:44.000Okay, well, here's the double-edged sword.
00:31:46.000If that is the deal, and you may be hitting the nail on the head with this one, what they might try to play.
00:31:52.000If we get international conflict, we're going to end up with 20 million refugees, and they're going to be storming the southern border overnight.
00:31:58.000Not literally overnight, but they're going to say, oh, no, look at all the displaced from the war and the conflict.
00:32:10.000Because if they're going to obstruct our ability to secure the border over their desire for international conflict, we're at a rock and a hard place.
00:32:25.000So when you say you're spending money in Ukraine, that goes to our city where we make these weapons, where we build these supplies, where we refine the fuels, where we train the troops.
00:32:56.000We're not talking about anything we want.
00:32:57.000But if it's that and hitting our priority versus hitting our priority and then them adding in some gobbledygook woke DEI or something, that to me is like, that's usually where the Republicans end up.
00:33:11.000It's not something that is like, oh, this is kind of a hot-button issue.
00:33:15.000It's like, no, they push in their things so they can go back to their base and their donors, and they can act like, see, we're still winning on these progressive values.
00:33:22.000I know this wasn't your point, but DEI stuff, Harmeet Dillon's going to do a really, really good job taking care of that stuff, because it is illegal, and she's running that part of the DOJ now.
00:33:36.000It'll be some sort of weird green news scam thing.
00:33:40.000Rather than, hey, let's have a real debate on something that's contentious.
00:33:43.000Yeah, but look, I think we all kind of agree that the border and immigration are the most important issues to the American people, to the average American person.
00:33:57.000And it doesn't matter if you're white or black or whatever.
00:33:59.000You listen to the people in the south side of Chicago and they are complaining about immigration and stuff.
00:34:05.000So it's like, are you looking to the black community there?
00:34:08.000If you're going to give us a secure border and fund ICE to go ahead and round up the illegals that are here and actually do deportations and fund the necessary equipment to transport people back to their countries of origin, I think that you're going to have to deal with...
00:34:28.000I think I would be okay with pork if you're going to be deporting, actually deporting people.
00:34:41.000I guess it's the easiest way to put it.
00:34:43.000The compromise is fine so long as the compromise is in areas we're okay with.
00:34:47.000If they come in and they say they want $50 million for creepy DEI stuff and they want weird books in our schools, we say no.
00:34:53.000If they come out and they say, oh, we want to fund one particular local thing and we're like, that's a compromise I don't really care about.
00:35:20.000But I love using scene as a source because of the way they frame things, and we can rip this apart.
00:35:24.000We do have the video, however, from Zuckerberg himself, where he, this is a quick clip, here we go.
00:35:29.000We're going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms.
00:35:37.000More specifically, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S. Well, there we go, ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:46.000Let me just tell all of you first and foremost, you know it.
00:35:49.000Mark Zuckerberg is a fair-weather friend.
00:35:51.000When Trump was the enemy and the media was screaming, Facebook just said, we will do whatever you say.
00:35:57.000When Trump wins, he comes out and says, okay, I guess free speech.
00:36:01.000I don't trust the guy at all, but I'll take the win when I can get it.
00:36:04.000So right now, as I've been talking about this for the past couple of weeks, we're a podcast.
00:36:09.000We negotiate with different ad networks.
00:37:22.000We, the shareholders of Tesla, then voted to reinstate it, and they still blocked his pay package.
00:37:27.000He took great and tremendous risks because he wanted this, whatever you think his reasoning was, and Zuckerberg bent the knee until it was all safe and all clear.
00:37:36.000Yeah, and I think, look, I think that Zuckerberg, Probably.
00:37:41.000Now, some people say, no, it was intentional, Zuck Bucks, all this stuff on the left.
00:39:30.000Elon Musk bought himself into this conflict.
00:39:33.000They tried to block the sale in the first place, attacked him in every direction.
00:39:38.000And Zuckerberg has always just taken the path of least resistance.
00:39:41.000I'm fine with Zuckerberg, with Cenk Uygur and all these people.
00:39:44.000I'm not like, there's a lot of these MAGA guys who are like, no, don't welcome them.
00:39:48.000Hey, take the power where you can get it, you know what I mean?
00:39:50.000If Zuckerberg is now going to open up meta so we can start using the platform, making money, promoting content, sending a message, it's a good thing.
00:39:58.000And I will add that putting Dana White on the board means that even throughout the next administrations, it's going to be a shield against this kind of censorship.
00:40:08.000And I think, look, I don't want to discredit Elon.
00:40:10.000You know, when I compare the two, I think Elon Musk, in my opinion, saved free speech in America.
00:40:16.000I mean, I think, let's think about it.
00:40:19.000If he doesn't take over X, I mean, you know, yes, we've got some of these other platforms popping up, but it was like, like you said, Tim, the guy risked everything, put his money on the line, his freedom, his ability to own these companies, the control of them.
00:40:34.000And I think, you know, he bet not just on the right horse, but on the right idea that the people were going to be with him.
00:40:40.000I think the long or the long and short of it is if Zuckerberg is going to end the fact checkers and they're going to have something like community notes and they're going to actually try to open up to have free speech be a principle on the platform, I think it's an overall good.
00:41:00.000That doesn't mean you have to like Zuckerberg.
00:41:02.000That doesn't mean you have to trust him.
00:41:04.000I post on my Instagram page a couple times a month maybe.
00:41:12.000I don't have a Facebook page that I run or that I use.
00:41:16.000I closed my personal one down, like my public personal page down in like 2018, because they do the whole throttling, where you can't get your, people that follow you don't see your posts.
00:41:29.000I had like, it wasn't a big page, It was like 60,000 or whatever.
00:41:32.000But I would post something and maybe...
00:41:35.000Like, 150, 200 people would see it, so I'm just like, alright, well, there's no point in posting anything on here.
00:41:41.000I'm not getting anything out to anyone, and I post on, even back then, posting on Twitter, I knew more people were seeing what I posted on Twitter than on Facebook.
00:41:53.000So, I mean, I'm not saying that he's a guy to be trusted.
00:41:57.000I'm not saying that Facebook is the be-all, end-all, but...
00:42:00.000Look, if there's a person that's saying the same things, like free speech is important, these are the things that we should care about, that's good.
00:42:08.000Cenk Uygur talking about that stuff, that's good.
00:42:11.000Anybody that's going to stop being, you know...
00:42:16.000Being ideologically motivated by what the government and what the left has been pushing for the past 10 or so years.
00:42:24.000Anyone that's moving away from that, I say we welcome them in at the very least to say you can listen to what they're saying.
00:42:30.000That's not saying, again, not saying that you have to trust them or anything.
00:42:35.000What did anybody think was going to happen?
00:42:36.000Because I've seen – there's a lot of people I respect who are saying do not welcome these liberals in who are now coming around and saying, oh, you know what?
00:42:45.000Oh, like Jen Kueger is the perfect example.
00:42:47.000And the point being made is the liberals who came out before the election and said, I've realized we got to do this and help Trump win.
00:45:04.000If they want to change and reform, we'll accept it.
00:45:06.000But I don't think we should cut the censorship platforms any slack.
00:45:11.000That being said, we can now start using Facebook again.
00:45:14.000And I'm hoping this means we can actually make money on the platform and it becomes a successful path towards spreading a message, fact-checking news, getting rid of the fact-checkers.
00:45:28.000When the alternate slate submitted their electoral votes, and it was not certified.
00:45:33.000And it was titled, Republican Elector Slate Submits Electoral Votes for Safe Harbor Deadline or whatever, which is a fact statement they did.
00:45:43.000And this organization fact-checked it as false, claiming they are not the certified electors, which was not what I claimed.
00:45:53.000Costing me money and basically de-ranking my posts.
00:45:58.000And when I messaged Facebook, because there's a contact at Facebook you talked to, they said, this is an independent fact-checking thing, you gotta take it up with them.
00:46:04.000When I emailed the fact-checkers, they ignored it and said, it's not a true statement.
00:46:08.000I ended up on the phone with some guy, and I said...
00:46:12.000My statement is a 100% factually correct statement, and I will cite the New York Times.
00:46:17.000And he's like, yeah, but it's not the real certified slate of electors.
00:46:24.000And I said, the first thing I say in the video is that the Republicans who were not certified and are not the certified electors cast their votes unofficially, and they're doing it as potentially a placeholder for a lawsuit.
00:47:00.000This political battle so that people like Mark Zuckerberg would put out a five-minute-long video saying, I'm sorry.
00:47:06.000Well, the one part in there, too, he says is, and this was widely known, but they're going to change their algorithm to, you know, they were kind of suppressing all political or, you know, civic speech.
00:47:18.000And that was, you know, like you said, I'm in the same boat, right?
00:47:20.000I've got a small Facebook page, but I haven't used it really actively for years because, Phil, like you said, you know, you're putting all this content up and it's just they're obviously throttling it.
00:47:29.000So the fact that he's going to, you know, at least give us a fair shake, I think that's just going to be better for everybody.
00:48:35.000What came up in the whole fiasco over Facebook fact-checking, I actually entertained a possible lawsuit against Facebook and a couple of these companies.
00:49:08.000I don't know if they kept this up, but it would say like it had like an eye with a slash through it and says this post contains misleading context or false content or false information or something like this.
00:51:01.000My favorite Roger Stone rule that I now equate to libertarians is losers don't legislate, and that is my new rule for a lot of these folks.
00:52:00.000But when you bring in millions upon millions, legally or otherwise, the American culture is something Sam Hyde hit the nail on the head with the hammer.
00:55:27.000The idea that you would teach your children discipline and morals is not fascism.
00:55:32.000The idea that you want to celebrate those who would sacrifice to protect your way of life is not fascism.
00:55:37.000And this is the game they play when we try to say things like, hey man, we're for legal immigration so long as it's not at the expense of the American worker and the expense of American culture.
00:55:47.000We love it that people want to move to this country, but they have to assimilate.
00:56:26.000I went to the mall and we had Santa Claus and we had a Christmas tree and there was a tradition there.
00:56:31.000And it's okay that we love those things and want them to be protected.
00:56:35.000Saying, I would prefer that my local mall continue this tradition.
00:56:38.000It has nothing to do with authoritarianism or attacking minorities.
00:56:41.000Yeah, we need to stop doing what we got here.
00:56:45.000A great point you had before, Tim, was how the Christians turn the other cheek and are tolerant of others and allow them what they do because as long as they're doing it away from us.
00:56:53.000And they've been doing it to us for years.
00:56:59.000Look, man, we see the far left engage in violent, deceptive tactics to put weird books in the schools to teach kids about adult graphic content.
00:57:09.000And they tell you when you say, hey, oh, I think that goes too far.
00:57:14.000They say you're a white supremacist, fascist, far right, etc.
00:57:20.000Has fallen out of meaning anything because everybody's racist now?
00:57:23.000The same thing should happen to fascist far-right.
00:57:26.000We should be proud to say, look, man, I grew up on apple pie, baseball, and Christmas trees, and I'm going to keep that tradition up.
00:57:32.000Okay, and we're going to make sure that in our city centers and when our town comes together, you know, out here in Ranson, West Virginia, that a large tree lighting ceremony.
00:58:57.000The idea that you should feel bad about yourself, you should know yourself enough to know whether you're a fascist or whether you're some kind of bigot.
00:59:09.000And if someone says something to you that doesn't reflect what you actually are, you should not worry about it.
00:59:54.000It's a slippery ice rink where no matter which direction you go, you're sliding in that direction.
01:00:00.000And so the point we brought up the other day was when we as rather liberal individuals, and I don't mean you guys, but I grew up in this liberal area, and we said gay marriage is fine.
01:00:10.000These people want to be in their own homes with who they love, and they should have the tax benefits.
01:00:14.000If someone goes to the hospital, they should be able to go and visit them.
01:00:57.000If you say, OK, fine, we're totally cool with gay marriage, you end up with the argument liberals have made is that in schools, teachers are gay married and they.
01:01:08.000The kids want to know about—they'll see a picture of the person's husband.
01:02:27.000Donald Trump puts three more conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
01:02:30.000If Obergefell goes to the Supreme Court, it's likely to go six to three, overturning it under the argument, hey, it's not a question for the Supreme Court.
01:04:44.000So this video is apparently in the eastern, it's in San Bernardino, which is maybe about an hour east of the LA area proper.
01:04:52.000The Palisades are on the western side.
01:04:54.000So I'm not saying this homeless person started the wildfires, but this is literally a video of what appears to be a homeless person starting a brush fire.
01:05:02.000And when you have a massive and dramatic escalation of homeless, or what I would describe as people removed from society living in your communities, You're going to get these wildfires.
01:05:39.000Fires are being lit in California by homeless people.
01:05:42.000If they came out into the Palisades fire or these other wildfires were started because the homeless people are starting them, I'd say, well, yeah, we have the news reporting.
01:06:17.000Look, a massive part of why there are homeless, of why...
01:06:23.000Of the homeless people that there are is because they're suffering from mental illness.
01:06:28.000I personally think it's probably a good idea to bring back involuntary commitment and bring back state facilities to take care of people that are mentally ill.
01:06:40.000It's really awful to think because they were being abused before, but man, I don't think that it's actually more humane to allow them to live on the streets, to allow them to use drugs.
01:07:14.000I mean, in all seriousness, though, how do you help deranged, unwell individuals who are starting fires?
01:07:22.000The answer is not to let them roam about homeless, hungry and derelict.
01:07:26.000The answer is I'm not going to say it's necessarily to forcefully round them up and put them into facilities and mental institutions like that.
01:07:34.000I'm saying right now, whatever it is they're doing ain't working and it's getting worse.
01:07:40.000Well, Trump, you know, I know this is probably not something he's going to push for.
01:07:45.000but he always does specifically talk about when the people are coming over the border, they're from insane asylums.
01:07:57.000I don't really think there is a better answer.
01:08:00.000I think it was Austin, Texas, they had this fund that was set up that said, We will fund a billion dollars if somebody can come up with a plan to fix homelessness.
01:08:08.000Or let's say it was $100 million, right?
01:08:10.000And they put the brightest minds on it, and it's like, you cannot fix crazy.
01:08:16.000These people, most of them are drug addicts, alcoholics, but they are crazy.
01:08:22.000Substance abuse and mental illness of homeless people is a Venn diagram of a circle.
01:08:27.000Yeah, so I think anybody that thinks there's an easy solution here, but at what point does the left...
01:08:33.000Finally admit or realize that trying to fix this is not...
01:08:48.000Hasan Piker, if you listen to him, he will come up with a whole slew of excuses as to why it's the stresses of capitalism and blah, blah, blah, all kinds of garbage.
01:08:58.000But when it becomes a reality, like it did with Anna Kasparian, then they say, okay, you know what?
01:09:05.000The leftist policies that I've been endorsing and that I've been voting for and that have been instated in California, they just don't work.
01:09:13.000And so you stop being a leftist is what happens, because the leftists are wrong.
01:09:57.000But, like, the thing with Anna Kasparian is there were multiple issues, multiple things.
01:10:02.000There was, she was sexually assaulted, and then there was all the people giving her crap because she said, don't call me a birthing person.
01:11:00.000And in their minds, I mean, you've got to understand, this is a guy who doesn't know what a farm looks like.
01:11:04.000He thinks a homeless person is a guy who got laid off from work and is like, oh gosh darn, if only I had opportunity in this country and the billionaires didn't rob me blind, I'd have a house.
01:11:13.000The reality is homeless people are like, I need a hit, I need a hit, I need a hit, I need a hit.
01:11:49.000There are kids who hop on the trains and they ride them through the north to the northwest intentionally to meet up with other derelict, rail-hopping homeless kids.
01:12:41.000To do the things that keep you homeless.
01:12:43.000Even if you're like, oh, I would love to have a home.
01:12:45.000Okay, well then you gotta stop doing heroin.
01:12:48.000And it's like, if the choice is stop doing heroin and go into a facility that sets you on the path to getting into a home, but you don't stop doing heroin, you're choosing to remain homeless.
01:13:03.000Because I worked for a homeless shelter.
01:13:06.000The reason why you don't really bump into a lot of people who are of sound mind and homeless...
01:13:10.000Is because they quickly are not homeless.
01:13:12.000Because there are tons of non-profits and organizations that will give you a clean suit, give you a place to sleep, help you get a job, and help you get an apartment.
01:13:20.000The problem is, the people who are largely homeless are mentally unwell.
01:13:26.000And the answer of just let them do their thing isn't solving the problem.
01:13:29.000But when you run into a guy who's like, look man, I lost my job, and then I couldn't pay the rent, they just evicted me, and I've been sleeping out here for a week, the shelters go...
01:13:58.000That states, municipalities allow people to stay on the streets.
01:14:02.000If you don't allow them to stay on the streets, you go in and you clear out the homeless encampments, you knock their stuff down.
01:14:09.000I mean, it's a little on the rough side, yeah, but you tell them they can't stay on the streets.
01:14:14.000If they're continuously moving around because the cops are shoving them off and stuff, then they end up deciding it's too much of a pain in the butt to stay homeless.
01:14:24.000And then they'll go ahead and start doing the things they need.
01:14:56.000And that's just how it is here in San Francisco.
01:14:59.000That, to me, was wild how we went from zero to 100. And people, when they go to the city for the first time, it's like this eye-opening experience.
01:15:19.000In Florida, and there were homeless people on the beach, sleeping on the beach, and it was fine if you allow.
01:15:26.000And that's in Florida, where you would think, oh, they would, you know, shuffle them along.
01:15:32.000I don't understand how there are homeless people in the cold town, the cold cities.
01:15:36.000Oh, bro, Chicago, they live under bridges, and the way the overpasses are built is they're really long, because it's like an eight-lane highway.
01:15:45.000These, like, probably four-foot-tall, it's a four-foot-tall cement block, and then every maybe eight feet is a pillar, and each of them, they lay down on top of the block in between the pillars.
01:15:57.000So as you're walking on the sidewalk, you pass, like, eight homeless people who smell like feces and urine.
01:16:38.000Yo, they have probably two shopping carts full of possessions each, and so they have mattresses under the bridges, and then sheets are laid out, and then they build little houses.
01:16:48.000Dude, I went to D.C., what was it, like, a couple weeks ago, and you can see the tents lining the—they have those walkways or the roads that go—they have underpasses where—I don't know what the name of the locations are, but, you know, in D.C. they have, like, you go under and a lot of traffic.
01:17:04.000There's just homeless tents around them.
01:17:06.000So on the top where you've got the bridge, there's just like six homeless tents, and we saw tons of them everywhere, and I'm like, man, who'd want to be here?
01:17:43.000But, I don't know, sometimes people say things that trigger me, and of course we just had the election, and I feel like my conscience is very clear.
01:17:51.000I warned everybody about Trump, and then I warned them about what would get him re-elected, which was stupid wokeness, which is what got him re-elected.
01:18:00.000So I feel my conscience is very clear that I told you and I told you and I told you and I lost fans for it.
01:21:41.000And talk about his regurgitated talking points.
01:21:44.000Like, at least you'd think maybe there'd be some nuance.
01:21:46.000And it's like, you can see it in his eyes that he's not going to get invited back to these cocktail parties in Hollywood if he doesn't speak up because, you know, Bill was hitting on just all of the basic points.
01:22:04.000And thank God they've learned nothing, like you said.
01:22:07.000I mean, I don't know that I want to say thank God because I think that the...
01:22:10.000The country would be better off if they weren't, if they had learned something and we didn't have these stupid fights about, you know, whether or not children are born a sex or not.
01:22:23.000The idea that, just the concept of assigned a gender at birth, that is absurd.
01:24:42.000If John Cryer wants to go on Bill Maher's show to his limited audience and then be as woke as possible, I actually hope more people see it and I would consider sharing his show because I think this will help us get us through the midterms.
01:24:54.000The big concern right now is, and I mean this seriously, the big concern is that we've got, what, 16 months, 18 months for Trump to get through his agenda before the squishy Republicans start just crying and refusing to vote for anything because they're afraid they'll lose in their district and the Democrats will then take the House.
01:25:49.000What's crazy is that no one believes it.
01:25:51.000They're literally saying these things.
01:25:54.000Sometimes you say crazy stuff and maybe, okay, half the Democrats believe that, but this is like 2% of the population that actually thinks that regurgitating talking point, that Republicans hate black women.
01:26:23.000Like, all of the moral failings that they see in humanity, they believe that the Republicans embody all of them.
01:26:32.000So they're all racist, they're sexist, they're misogynistic.
01:26:35.000It's the whole deplorables comment that Hillary Clinton had, or the garbage comment from Joe Biden.
01:26:45.000These attempts to dehumanize Republicans, I do think that there's a significant plurality of Americans that still believe that because they have the inclination to believe that Republicans and their political foes are bad, and it's the whole team sport thing and blah, blah, blah.
01:27:04.000So I think that it's more than just 2%, but I do understand your point.
01:27:11.000But, I mean, look, it's not going away either.
01:27:15.000That's something that's been, you know, that kind of stuff has been a thing for a long time.
01:27:21.000Yeah, I've seen a video with James Klug and Lisa Elizabeth that they were talking to people on the streets of Philadelphia, and they think that Trump has a Mein Kampf next to his bedside, and Hitler is one of his idols.
01:27:36.000Well, look, the one takeaway that was wild, we had 30 black, There you go.
01:27:46.000And I don't know what it was, but man, you know, John Cryer might have had it half right.
01:27:51.000It wasn't Republicans that hated black women.
01:27:54.000These black dudes could not stand Kamala Harris.
01:28:00.000You know, all these are Republicans and some independents and moderates, but like you want to talk about people that did not in a way that kind of one sect of people, they just could not stand her.
01:28:13.000And so maybe there's a problem they should address on that side, but not, you know, not to try to come after these, like I said, these talking points that are just, it's wild that people are still saying them.
01:30:20.000Probably, because when I first got mine, I was messing with my phone, and I was trying to just record the autopilot, and it got all pissed off at me and said that I had one strike, and if you have five strikes, they'll turn off your full self-driving.
01:31:08.000There have been instances where it slams the brakes on for no reason, and starts going beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, and we're like, what is it freaking out about?
01:32:36.000Like a tree fell down, and it was a small branch, but it did scrape the side, car hit it.
01:32:41.000See, I think you're right that it's city.
01:32:43.000So I had a Model Y and I got rid of it because I moved to Missouri, the middle of nowhere, and I realized that not having a charger within 50 minutes of my house was probably a problem.
01:33:36.000So how are they going to have full self-driving auto cars out here when it's raining or snowing?
01:33:42.000I assume that it's going to be, you know, it's one of those things where, like, you know, you're just going to be like, well, I can't use it now because of the weather.
01:33:48.000Just like, you know, when you, there's weather that messes up.
01:34:12.000So they switched from sonar to cameras.
01:34:14.000So they originally used camera and sonar, and then I remember they were like, we're no longer going to use sonar because it's not as effective, but cameras can't see in inclement weather.
01:35:59.000So we do talk about whether or not we think the graphics sell better.
01:36:03.000And I was like, you know, everyone who owns chickens is going to want to own a 28th Amendment graphic skateboard.
01:36:12.000The chickens being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep barren breed chickens shall not be infringed.
01:36:19.000And of course, in the true tradition of the Bill of Rights, it was written with one thing as its intention, but a broader issue at play.
01:36:28.000That is, while the Second Amendment says the right to keep and bear arms, there's much more to it than just that.
01:36:34.000It's about it's about defending yourself.
01:37:38.000If you believe this show is good, it is worth continuing.
01:37:41.000We need you as members because that's how we do it.
01:37:46.000We are looking at doing a lot more advertisements, and I hate to say it, but it's because we want to be competitive, and we want to make sure if we stay where we are and try to go this purist route of, we are an independent show, and we don't need to do this, Disney and Comcast are going to buy out the space and crush us, so we have to be competitive.
01:38:03.000But I will also add, memberships aren't the end-all be-all.
01:38:06.000They're a little bit more than half of how we run everything, so we really do rely on memberships.
01:38:10.000The more memberships we have, the less ads we have to do.
01:42:17.000And the media is saying that China is not running it.
01:42:21.000Because they're once again conflating the point Trump is trying to make.
01:42:24.000What he's trying to make is that it is overutilized and China has undue influence over the Panama Canal when we should be the one in control and charging money to all these other countries.
01:42:34.000So the New York Times says, fact check, he's lying.
01:43:24.000I like going to the airport and I'm just like, could you imagine what it must be like if, you know, Benjamin Franklin was shown an airport and he sees all of these massive...
01:43:34.000Machines that are just incomprehensible to a man of that era.
01:43:37.000This is why I don't understand why people are afraid of, like, or people think, oh, a big plane makes me feel safe.
01:45:01.000Instead of having farms and animals, the way humans, you know, evolved and developed and built society, now we're in metal boxes in New York, surrounded by concrete and honking horns and brake dust.
01:45:13.000When you're at work, you go to chickencitylive.com and you turn on the soothing noises of countryside chickens enjoying life.
01:45:45.000It's the pharmaceutical companies that got chickens banned from cities because they knew that if people owned chickens, they wouldn't be depressed anymore.
01:45:52.000I'm not serious at all, but some leftist is going to write that up, saying Tim has an unhinged conspiracy about...
01:45:57.000Once the wolf gets to him, we lost Billy the Cock, our rooster.
01:46:24.000So we had them in a separate area because that's just too many roosters, but you keep them all by themselves, they're fine, they don't fight.
01:46:30.000And then we decided to eat them, and they were delicious.
01:46:33.000But we allowed Mr. Muttonchops to live because he kept jumping out of the chicken coop, and we respected it.
01:51:20.000Yeah, a lot of people have pointed out that if Canada...
01:51:22.000If Canada became the 51st state, the problem is phrasing it that way.
01:51:27.000Canada as a whole would be the biggest state, I believe, with 41 million people who would have something like 70 congressional seats or something like that.
01:51:35.000No, not 70, but like 50, 52 or something.
01:51:58.000Jackie Octavia says, Videntus on YouTube has an interesting video theorizing how Canada might be integrated into the U.S. Some provinces would be added as states and some as territories, like the Yukon.
01:52:10.000Yeah, because we're not taking Quebec French people, you know what I mean?
01:52:22.000Donald Trump, if you're watching the show tonight, make English.
01:52:25.000Yeah, if there's someone out there that has Donald Trump's ear, get Donald Trump to talk about making English the national language of the United States.
01:52:34.000WhiskeyBiscuit says, what if the Annex Canada bit is just a big ask and Trump walks it back to only annexing the parts that want to join?
01:53:17.000Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.
01:53:33.000When they shut down the airspace, they rerouted every single plane coming overseas to Newfoundland.
01:53:41.000They did a whole musical about it, Come From Away, but this town of like 3,000 people, and there were like 12,000 passengers, and they had to house them, feed them, and it was shut down, what, three or four days, right?
01:53:55.000I got a job at O'Hare a few years after 9-11, and the people who worked there said that at O'Hare, when it went down, Within, like, minutes, there were a bunch of dudes standing on the tarmac with rifles, in suits with earpieces and sunglasses holding rifles, and just, like, standing and looking around.
01:54:20.000I wasn't there because I had left right before it happened, but the crazy thing is my friends who were there said that Manheim Road is like the long...
01:54:29.000I don't think it's a highway, but it's a wide lane, like four-lane road that goes right next to the airport.
01:54:36.000And my buddy was saying that people stopped their cars dead in the middle of the road, like just the middle of the road.
01:54:40.000And they all started getting out and just staring up at this UFO that was hovering over the airport.
01:54:45.000And then all the witnesses said it hovered for about a minute and then shot straight up and punched a hole in the clouds.
01:54:50.000And a pilot, because this is back when they had flip phone cameras, snapped a photo of it, which you can Google and find.
01:55:06.000And then one of my friends worked there and he was like, dude, people were getting out of their cars on the highway and just like staring at it.
01:55:17.000It's a famous, it's a very famous story.
01:55:19.000Like when you look it up, I think it's got a Wikipedia page.
01:55:22.000You know, the UFO O'Hare sighting was a big deal because there's, like, there's, what, 100,000 people all staring at this one thing at once and everyone reported seeing it.
01:55:38.000Like, everybody in the city heard about it.
01:55:39.000Because, like, people were at the airport traveling and they're all staring out the window just looking at a UFO floating over the airport.
01:55:53.000All right, let's grab a couple more Super Chats.
01:55:56.000The Lion says, wait until the media starts comparing Trump's territorial ambitions, which is how they'll frame it, to World War II bad man's calls for Lebensrum?
01:56:37.000Just ignore anything a leftist says because the whole point of them saying something is to make you feel like you've done something wrong because then it puts them in a position of power over you.
01:58:26.000I remember working at a pizza place back when it happened, and I'd be sweating really hard, man, and it's just terrible coming down your face and your mouth, and you're breaking out, and it's...
01:58:36.000What's wild is when there's this cross-section of institutions, like the Mayo Clinic.
01:58:42.000I was going to the Mayo Clinic, same thing, no major thing, but you literally, when you walk in, they were still forcing masks.
01:58:50.000And when you're meeting with the doctor, they're still pressuring you on the COVID jab.
01:58:55.000And I'm just like, how is this still happening?
01:58:58.000You heard about that side effect, that breaking story, right?
