00:02:47They are saying if your degree doesn't make enough money, if the jobs you can get from it don't make enough money, you can't get a loan for it.0.97
00:02:56This means every single woke, stupid, feminist, interpretive, dance, politics, sociology nonsense is not going to be eligible for loans, and the universities will not.0.96
00:03:16Of course, with the midterms coming up, the latest polling is not very good for Republicans, and people are wondering if the Republicans are just resigned to defeat.
00:03:24That may be the case, but Trump is pulling out his secret weapon himself and culture war issues.
00:03:30Now, of course, liberal media is ragging on him, saying it's a mistake, he shouldn't do it, he's not popular enough.
00:03:36Trump is putting this election on himself.
00:03:39And Republicans are shifting the conversation from economics into culture war issues where they know they can see benefits.
00:03:46Despite all that, however, polls are not particularly good.
00:03:49And then, my friends, a story that's going viral because it's fun.
00:03:53You know, seven years ago, NASA ran a simulation, a prediction that there was an asteroid that had a 1% chance of striking the Earth in April of 2027.
00:04:04Now the story's coming back up because, of course, we're only a few months away.
00:04:10And, you know, nothing's going to happen because nothing ever happens, right?
00:05:15And with all the sports gambling and weird poker gambling, you know, mafia stuff we've heard of the past year or so, there's a lot of people who are just like, look, it happens.
00:06:29So if you go in, and this is what he admitted to, you go into a quarter and you immediately say, oh, my back hurts and they take you out, you've now.
00:06:36Controlled what you did in that quarter, which somebody's betting on, and you've got some friend or third party who's like, Don't play more than it's a minute now.
00:06:44In the third quarter, play you know, your performance has to be below three points.
00:06:48So you get in, my hamstring hurts, and you're out.
00:06:51So I, and look, you say that and you say, Oh, well, the NBA, what do those guys like?
00:06:55Now realize that the budget for these football college football teams are 30 or 40 or million dollars.
00:07:02There's 18 year old kids with a million dollars in their pocket, and you don't think that they're gambling.
00:07:07So it's a wild world, and yeah, I still don't understand.
00:07:48I worked with the Doge guys because they were sort of on the edges of OMB.
00:07:52And Russ Vogt is the OMB chair, the director.
00:07:55And I go down on Sunday morning, the day before Trump's sworn in, I go around the corner and sitting at a table is Sergio Gore and Charlie Kirk.
00:08:05And they say, hey, you once said you wanted to be the U.S. attorney in D.C., that guy that was supposed to take that job didn't take it.
00:08:13And the president elect wants someone to do that job, would you switch over?
00:08:17And I said, well, I got to call Russ and make sure he's okay with it.
00:08:20Russ is going to say whatever the president wants.
00:12:06Education Department formally rescinds Title IX protections for LGBTQ students.
00:12:12The Education Department announced Monday it has formally rescinded the Biden era Title IX interpretation that gave sex based discrimination protections to students based on their orientation and gender identity.
00:12:25Schools must now go back to the code as it was held under the previous Trump administration in 2020, which they say will protect women's sports.
00:12:34Thanks to today's action, the published Title IX regulation faithfully reflects court orders and congressional intent.
00:12:40Reducing confusion for parents, students, and educational institutions, we will continue to relentlessly champion equal opportunity for all Americans and hold accountable any school or college that violates the rights and privacy of or athletic opportunities for our women and girls, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.
00:12:57Now, we do have another story that actually broke in July and for some reason was just getting picked up today.
00:13:03In fact, I don't even think we noticed it.
00:13:07Trump is banning federal student loans for worthless college degrees.0.98
00:13:12These two stories, my friends, this is Trump launching a nuclear bomb in the culture war against the hive of scum and villainy that is woke universities.0.96
00:13:23Let me explain how massive this story is.0.94
00:14:40Well, I mean, to your point about should the Democrats, you know, get power, whether they get the office of the president in 28 or not, they're going to do everything they can to stymie the The administration.
00:14:54Now, obviously, this is executive order stuff.
00:14:56This is stuff that Trump's going to have been, you know, the largest portion of his successes have been through executive order.
00:15:32But you know, again, I hate to be back to Crowder.
00:15:34We were watching Crowder a while ago and he's talking, and the Harvard law school dean was complaining, or professor was complaining that the government was cutting off, without due process, the money that they were getting from the government was giving to Harvard.
00:15:48And my thing is, why do we have a system where we've created this massive payment scam?
00:15:54It's just like the welfare programs, it's just like other things where these student loans are just propping up schools that make up Degrees.
00:16:01And as you said, these two stories come together, Tim, because Title IX was created in 1972.
00:16:06And it was in the era where they were trying to say, give women some protection in higher ed, in sports, in other opportunities.
00:16:17And I know this intimately because I worked with Phyllis Schlafly, the late Phyllis Schlafly, who fought against the ERA.
00:16:22Title IX became the way that the camel under the tent, because they went in and they used it every time they wanted to the left to do all this kinds of crazy stuff.
00:16:33With this trend, the gender surgery and gender affirming and all this politically woke stuff.
00:16:39But it's been going on for a very long time.
00:16:42And the point here is the pendulum needs to not just stop some of this stuff, it needs to swing back, in my opinion, and back harder than we've ever seen.
00:17:40Because remember, you can have a soccer team, men's and women's are the same size, but nothing's like a football team in terms of scholarships.0.51
00:17:46And then they went crazy with the law and said every dollar has to match, not just scholarships.0.52
00:17:50So if you have a weight room for the men, it has to be matched by the size of the weight room for the women.
00:17:56This is fascinating because Charlie Kirk had spoken out against the Civil Rights Act, highlighting specifically these things that the intention is good, but the output was bad.
00:18:04And then, of course, the left manipulates the context, they lie about the context as to what he was saying and say he wanted to get rid of civil rights.
00:18:11What he was saying was we all agree it was bad that people were being discriminated against.
00:18:15Like they wanted to go to a grocery store, they wanted to go to the movies.0.62
00:18:17But the idea now, as you guys are pointing out, That you can't have a men's football team because women don't want to play football.
00:19:11I don't know if you guys are a fan of Eric Hoffer, the old Hoffer's line that every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and degenerates into a racket.
00:20:57Problem the max salary they get offered is like a drop in the bucket compared to what he wanted.0.56
00:21:02Because they had to match what the women's coach was being paid, which is just never going to happen.
00:21:05The Men's World Cup generates, you know, it's probably to the pie or something.0.54
00:21:10Like the order of money the Men's World Cup makes is, you know, completely dwarfs the Women's World Cup.
00:21:15So instead, like the U.S. soccer had to go and knock on a bunch of billionaires' doors and say, just write this off, donate to our program, we'll get a good men's coach.
00:21:22So it's like institutionalized, even in an organization like U.S. soccer, which has no obligations under Title IX to do so, they are now basically forced to do so because of this cultural mindset that is because of Title IX.
00:21:33Did you guys see, we talked about it last week.
00:21:40These feminists get into these game studios and they're like, okay, so we're making a World War I battlefield game.1.00
00:21:47We want women to play video games, so we're going to make the main character a purple haired female amputee.1.00
00:21:54And everyone hated it because women don't want to go to World War I.
00:21:58And somebody made a dressmaker simulator where all you do is make dresses and then your customers give you one to five stars, and women are drooling over it.
00:23:07Women don't want to see a movie where a woman is a superhero, they want to see a movie where a woman is the subject of desire from the greatest man.
00:23:15So, we had things that women could do that people really enjoyed watching and men could do, and they're trying to invert it for some reason in some weird experiment that doesn't work.
00:23:29Women, James Bond, why did men and women love to go see it?
00:23:33Because men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him.
00:23:36The male fantasy is that you're the guy smoking the cigar and you flick it into the, you know, the gasoline vapors or whatever, and the bad guy goes, I'll get you gone.
00:23:45You stop the villain from destroying the world.
00:23:47And the female power fantasy was that the guy that everybody loved said, You're my choice.0.72
00:24:02Trump, the administration, has nuked the hive, the root system.
00:24:09If this sticks and we win, if we hold for a few years, we can cleanse our universities of this social contagion.
00:24:18Yeah, I don't have a lot of faith that it's going to hold for a few years because, again, I think that anything that Donald Trump does through executive action, the next president could undo if they were a Democrat.
00:24:29I mean, I would love to see, you know, a JD Vance or a Marco Rubio or some other unnamed person that's a Republican, conservative, whatever you want to call him, sit in the Oval Office again.
00:24:45Whether that happens or not is going to have us, you know, is going to really be the key as to whether or not these.
00:24:50Policies can stick around long enough to have serious impact, right?
00:24:55Because that's really what we're trying to do, or what he's trying to do here.
00:24:58He's trying to roll back not just an administration or two, he's trying to roll back 60 years of progressive policy.
00:25:07Because whether or not people want to admit it, George Bush had a lot of progressive policies.
00:25:12Even Ronald Reagan had some policies that were considered.
00:26:01They don't want to give him credit because they're mad about this issue or that issue.
00:26:05Most of the time, they tend to be mad about the Iran war.
00:26:09But he's the only president that's actually started to move the needle back to the right.
00:26:13And if he had another Congress that worked with him, he'd be even more successful because this stuff could be codified into law as opposed to just executive action.
00:26:23But one thing about what you said that's so important is that Trump does these things that affect money, especially.
00:26:29Like USAID, the attack on USAID took the money off the table.
00:26:37People getting six figure salaries in the suburbs of DC complaining about it.
00:26:41Here's the thing about this if you pull back on these degrees and the loans for these silly degrees, it'll only take six months for these schools to go belly up, to your point.0.86
00:26:51You know, some of these small schools that are running through mills of these really stupid courses, as Tim said earlier, people aren't going to take those courses because they can see what's coming.0.89
00:27:47The business model can't sustain this stuff if you're not teaching something that's valuable for the kids.
00:27:53There's one more point that I want to make.
00:27:54This is something that I've been harping on for a long time all of the woke stuff that people complain about for the past 15 years, it all has its genesis in college.
00:28:06There was a time where people were saying, look, these kids with their silly ideas, they're going to get out into the real world and they're going to get smacked with reality, and then we don't have to worry about it.0.81
00:28:16But the fact of the matter is, they got out into the real world and they changed the culture at so many different companies, so many different big Fortune 500 companies.
00:28:27They got into the HR departments and they started firing people for the smallest missteps and hiring people that shared their worldview.
00:28:35And they managed to seriously mess with the culture of the United States.
00:28:40And getting this kind of stuff out of schools actually can have really significant and dramatic downstream effects.
00:28:47You get a, you know, I don't know, five, six, seven years of graduating classes that are not indoctrinated with this kind of stuff.
00:28:56Because the humanities departments, the stuff that they learn, it doesn't stay in the humanities departments.
00:29:00It starts infecting the rest of the college.
00:29:03It starts getting into even the hard sciences.
00:29:05And that's where you hear people trying to say things like two plus two equals five and all kinds of crazy nonsense that everyone knows is not true.
00:29:14But they have to say this kind of stuff because the entire culture at the school is making a demand of it.
00:31:21Trump's economic approval rating in 2026 is at 37%.
00:31:25In 2018, when Republicans lost the midterms, it was at 77%.
00:31:30I think it's fair to say most people don't care about foreign policy and don't know much about the war with Iran, but its after effects are hitting people because gas is over four bucks and we're out in West Virginia and diesel is 650.
00:31:58I saw someone had tweeted, I retweeted it, about messaging and.
00:32:03Not that messaging is going to fix anything, but the places that are borderline, the congresspeople that are borderline that could possibly win, they really do need to make sure that they have the messaging right.
00:32:19But there's a lot of places where I don't know that there's anything that's going to happen that's going to fix anything unless gas prices drop by like.
00:32:28I'll rise in defense of the grand old party.
00:32:37It also means generally that the presidential party in the president in the White House loses in the midterm.
00:32:42So gravity is gravity, and it usually happens.
00:32:44The problem with that right now, first of all, whenever CNN is pushing something, and I admit on this one, it's economic numbers, it's not quite the same as some of the push polls they push.
00:32:53But it really is going to come down to about 26 seats, House seats, and three or four Senate seats.
00:32:59And there are fundamentals to those things that you have to figure out.
00:33:03And one of them is who's got money, and the other one is who the candidates are.
00:33:07So, if you look at these races one by one across places like down in Virginia, down in Norfolk, that I think it's Virginia 2, they started to do early voting.
00:33:16And the report, I don't have this confirmed, I'm just going to tell you how you look at these things, is that the city, the urban votes, vote totals are lower than they expected.
00:33:26In other words, there's not enthusiasm in that district for the Democrat, which is what they need to overcome the.
00:33:34So, Republicans have the headwinds, and the Democrats seem to have something at their back.
00:33:39But the problem is, it's only in 26 races, and the Republicans definitely have a lot more money.
00:33:44And money can't buy you races, but it can get close in a lot of them, and it can change the dynamic.
00:34:03And by the way, when Tallerico in Texas is on TV all weekend long begging for debates, if you've ever run a race, Or been a candidate, you know that you ask for debates when you're losing.
00:34:17You desperately want any attention you can get.
00:34:24If he was winning, he would not want to do a debate where Ken Paxton would say, Do you really believe X or Y, these crazy quotes that Tallarico's pastor said?
00:34:31So, you know, the doom and gloom in places like Texas, mostly I believe it's because the Republicans that didn't want Paxton to win are weighing in.
00:35:55I think when it comes to the doom and gloom about whether or not Democrats are going to win and beat the Republicans, I think it would be silly not to point out that people are, Trump's lost a lot of people.
00:36:05Like libertarians, that's a couple percentage points.
00:36:09There's a lot of moderates, they do not like the war stuff.
00:36:12And a lot of people have shifted heavily because of Israel's involvement, because of the start of the war, or I should say last year as well.
00:36:20And I think these are all negative impacts.
00:36:22The economy is typically the principal issue.
00:36:24But that being said, we are in a new world.1.00
00:36:27And I think it's fair to say it's the economy, stupid.0.99
00:36:30We guys got to give a shout out to that old man, that cratchy old Democrat, but it's fine.1.00
00:36:36However, right now, everybody lives in a niche political sphere.
00:36:41So there are people who don't even know gas is $4 because the only thing they see when they go online is Israel.0.53
00:36:47There are people that go online and see nothing but unarmed black men being shot.
00:36:52The way they're voting is changing from the way it used to be.0.94
00:36:56Used to be primarily that people went to the gas station and said, okay, this is nuts.
00:37:00But now that young people don't own cars, not that they're all voting anyway, but for young people, they're largely persuaded by their social media algorithm.
00:37:09So Trump's strategy has been, and not just Trump, but Republicans, shift to culture war issues we can win on.
00:37:15Like the trans debate, for instance, Title IX stuff.
00:37:17This is why they're making these moves.0.53
00:37:19They want James Tellerico to have to answer for all the weird, insane things he said in the past several years, and they want to shift away from economics.
00:38:11But I also want to stress I'm not going to sit here and just trust CNN when they come out every single day saying, you can't lose, give up, you can't lose.
00:38:20I mean, I'm sorry, you can't win, give up, you can't win.
00:38:40And I think a lot of this isn't so much to do with him as more, as you pointed out, kind of the Senate Republicans weren't too happy about how that all went down.
00:38:47Because there was some reporting that there's kind of this like Mexican standoff between the Trump admin and the Senate Republicans, like, okay, whose responsibility is it to fund the Paxton race?
00:38:55So I think Texas probably comes back to the Republicans as the camp.
00:39:00I mean, again, the hour is a little, you know, getting a little late here, but as that kind of kicks into full swing.
00:39:03Because I'm getting Tallarico ads out here in Virginia.
00:39:06And, you know, I haven't been a registered voter in Texas.
00:39:08Five years, and I'm still getting hit for ads for Talarico here.
00:39:13There's like a profile on you at these companies.
00:39:15So the fact that he's dumping enough money to say anyone that has any vague link to Texas push some ads his way, I think, to your point, does kind of illustrate the situation he's in.
00:39:24I think the interesting race is Michigan, especially because Michigan is in this weird situation where they have uniquely high gas prices for the region.
00:39:33Michigan has pretty expensive fuel right now.
00:39:36And then additionally, they're having these trade issues.
00:39:38A lot of these voters in the Detroit area are having these trade issues with Canada.
00:39:41This is what I've Again, I've seen some people that are reporting from how voters are feeling on the ground.
00:39:52So it's kind of funny how Mike Rogers is in this position where some of the things that the Republicans aren't even necessarily responsible for, it's a referendum on his party, even though, once again, the Canada situation, even the gas, the gas is uniquely high in Michigan due to some Whitmer policies.
00:40:09But he's having to answer it because his party's.
00:40:24I mean, if Trump came out and said we're halting the exports, dropping the price significantly, if Trump did any kind of tax release or rebate in the short term with a promise of more after the fact, you can win the election just like that.
00:40:37And Democrats, when Trump offered that dividend, they're like he's trying to buy the vote.
00:40:41What do you think it is when Democrats offer free health care?
00:42:16And here's what I'd say Tim, you brought this up the social issues.
00:42:20Second Amendment voters, pro life voters, religious people that go to church every Sunday, people that believe that, look, people that watch Fox News, you can say what you want and I have.
00:42:30I'm not a fan in lots of ways, but they are conditioning old people that are watching all the time that this is, you know, that the war is good and that, you know, healthcare is protected and you're going to be okay.
00:42:43That's what they're telling them, whether it's true or not.0.65
00:42:46And that means that they're protecting that flank of the Republican coalition for voting.
00:42:49Well, I think this is what a lot of people miss too is, you know, and this is coming from a Zoomer, you know, a right winger who has a lot of, you know, criticisms of the Republican Party.0.63
00:42:59Boomers, that's the bread and butter, you know, like we can sit on Twitter and antagonize boomers all day long.
00:43:03And even if, You know, every single accusation is true or whatever.0.89
00:43:21A lot of people are like, well, you know, we should go punish the Republicans at the ballot box.
00:43:27Twitter is like kind of a ghetto in many ways.
00:43:28Like, there's like 30,000 people that are using it on a daily basis.0.99
00:43:32You know, the boomers are ultimately going to be the ones that decide the election.0.62
00:43:35And yeah, Fox News, you go on Fox News.0.98
00:43:38You know, the Iran wars, you know, this had to happen.0.99
00:43:40It's the greatest thing since sliced bread.0.85
00:43:42That's going to resonate with a lot of the base.
00:43:44So, just from purely like a political exercise, while it is certainly doom and gloom for younger people, certainly doom and gloom online, the Republicans, they can still kind of go to their fastball on this kind of thing.
00:43:56And they're going to have probably better chance than we would expect, you know, if you're purely consuming online political content.
00:44:03We have another rumble rant from S. Bud Buddy says Trump issues national emergency on behalf of the American people and halts diesel exports by a high percentage.
00:45:41And then people are like, I picked my numbers, and then you see if you win because everything's becoming sports gambling, which brings us to our next story.
00:46:17Because what they're saying is this dude took the knee intentionally so that he could control the outcome for the purpose of sports betting because it's all rigged.
00:46:27I've seen videos on Instagram where they're like, this guy should be criminally investigated and prosecuted.
00:46:32There's rumors that Fanatics is issuing refunds over certain wagers.
00:47:47One, I've seen a lot of people saying that he's got a direct stake in the game and taking this because if he bet himself, he bet against himself scoring a touchdown, presuming he wouldn't score one, getting the opportunity to get one, he's like, uh oh.
00:48:01Other conspiracy theories are that they're all in on it and the bigwigs of the game said.
00:48:08And when he made it, when he managed to break through, which he wasn't supposed to do, he's like, uh oh, I'm going to get in trouble.
00:48:14But here's where it gets crazy this article Trevor Lawrence jokes about fantasy football as the reason for ignoring touchdown at the one yard line.
00:48:41Yeah, I think there's like three possibilities of what happened here.
00:48:45The first is he's being honest, he was just trying to chew the clock up.
00:48:50I mean, you could take another two minutes off maybe with three extra downs.
00:48:54Second possibility is yeah, he's in on it.
00:48:57Like if he had a rushing touchdown, it would have cost him a bunch of money or something like that.
00:49:01The third, which I find to be actually the most compelling explanation, I saw a few people propose this, is that the halfback has some sort of clause in his contract where he gets extra money based off of how many rushing touchdowns he gets that year.
00:49:13And so he must be buddies with the halfback and they're trying to get him.
00:49:17Some people pointed out a few examples of.
00:49:20I think on the Jaguar, I think it was Maurice Jones Drew had a similar clause where if he got so many rushing touchdowns by a certain week in the year, he would get a huge paycheck.
00:49:28And so some people speculate hey, this gives us, it's kind of a combination.
00:49:32It gives us an opportunity to burn more time off for dominating this game.
00:49:36And then additionally, it can give our halfback an extra rushing touchdown because it's on the one yard line.
00:49:41That to me kind of seems like the most compelling explanation.0.97
00:49:44Because if it's this, I mean, surely he's not stupid enough to, like, if they're, they'll figure out if there's somebody cashing out and they have a connection to him.0.97
00:50:48I think your third one is the most plausible.
00:50:50I think it's something like that, but it still brings us to the same spot, which is.
00:50:54There's so much money in these games now, in sports and sports gambling and in the conduct.
00:50:58As you say, if it was the contract, it sounds right, you know, that you've got all these, it's just changing the way things are operating.
00:51:05And to think that these guys are going to stay sort of pure of heart is insane.
00:51:12And I mentioned off air that I met in my time in DOJ with this guy, Jon Tay Porter, who has admitted that he had a gambling problem in the NBA.
00:51:23He's gone, goes to Gambling Anonymous and all, and has, Stopped and all this kind of stuff.
00:51:29But when you hear him talk about the fact that every aspect of the NBA is being gambled on, you know, how many points you get in a quarter, how many rebounds, how many minutes you play, all these things, to think that it's not going to be manipulated by people who want to make money is just naive.
00:52:01But there's like a sizzle reel of like 10 minutes of Malik Beasley just like throwing the ball out of bounds, like slipping and throws it behind him and goes in the goal.
00:52:10But additionally, even if it's not gambling related, there's still with the contract stuff that just completely erodes the integrity of the game.
00:52:17Because I don't know if you remember, there was this spree where Russell Westbrook, I think he averaged a triple double over the season for non basketball viewers.
00:52:23It's you get over 10 points, over 10 rebounds, over 10 assists.
00:52:26You know, you could do steals or something that's unlikely.
00:52:28And Like he's a point guard, so they don't get rebounds, right?
00:52:31He's supposed to be taking the ball before he's usually the shortest player on the floor.
00:52:34But if the other team shot a three pointer, the big men would run down the court, so then they'd be clear, wide open for Russell Westbrook to go grab a rebound.
00:52:43And people were like, does he really just care about his stats that much where he needs to get a triple double every game?
00:52:49But what was more likely was that, again, if he got in a certain, for every triple double he got, he probably got some sort of kickback from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
00:52:56And therefore, he was directly incentivized and his teammates were directly incentivized to allow him to collect rebounds.
00:53:03Then all of a sudden, it starts tampering with statistics, records, et cetera.
00:53:08So it's like, even if it's not something as illegal as sports gambling, these convoluted contracts, the amount of money in the game, it's still.
00:53:25Well, it's like, I guess as soon as, you know, if you go, if you're like watching the game like three or four hours before, if you see a spike, you go and bet on that.0.92
00:53:33There's some lady who works in an accounting department or a delivery company who's like, they just ordered like 500 gallons of, you know, like Arctic Frost or whatever.
00:53:43And she's like, well, I know what the color of the Gatorade is going to be.
00:53:46Well, that's why a lot of the college teams started like throwing people off and they would mix two flavors together.
00:53:53But if I can say, guys, I move it a little bit and I'll sound like a scourge, I guess, but the gambling's out of control.
00:53:59And it's targeted at the kids, and kids are in the NBA or now in the NCAA football, you know, the top programs, the kids are making a million dollars and they're not even the stars.
00:56:54Now, for a lot of that's always existed to a small degree.
00:56:57But stock trading was not for the retail investor, it didn't exist until I think it was like the Jobs Act or something with Obama, only in the past like 15 or so years.
00:57:05You had to be rich or an institution to invest.
00:57:10I think where we're going now, and the reason why Calci, Poly Market, sports betting, fantasy, the reason why all that's blowing up, our economy is going in a direction based on this.
00:57:33Gambling is like the stupidest, lowest tier of this because playing blackjack, you can count cards if you're looking at an actual shoe and improve your odds to 50.5%.1.00
00:58:43Do you have access to information, and can you predict more?
00:58:46So, it's one thing to say gambling is degenerate.
00:58:48Yeah, I get it, but you're not stopping it because the genie's out of the bottle, the cat's out of the bag.
00:58:52You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
00:58:53I'll use every analogy we have in the world for this one.
00:58:56You are going to see the people who are making the most money are the people who can look at the players and look at the numbers and say, I know who's going to win tomorrow.
00:59:06And they're going to do crazy parlays and they're going to make crazy money.
00:59:10This is what we're seeing, and we're already seeing it right now.
00:59:12Like I mentioned that Peanut live stream, the cartoon Peanut.
00:59:50Well, I mean, there's like multiple things here.
00:59:52I mean, because we have, you know, deaths of misery, right?
00:59:54You know, people that, you know, start consuming drugs or whatever.
00:59:58But now you're seeing like consumption of misery, right?
01:00:00Like, I think a lot of what's going on here is these are people that, and primarily young men who don't view themselves as having a future in the country or having a future in general.
01:00:10And so they just say, well, okay, I could do 50 years at a company.
01:00:14You know, you're not even guaranteed a good pension anymore.
01:00:16Or I can just get rich now because I want to be rich now because the only time I'm going to be able to enjoy this wealth is while I'm young.
01:00:22And so they'd start, you know, buying into these effectively get rich quick schemes.
01:00:26There's so many problems with sports betting we could get into.
01:00:28I think another missing piece here, so I think, first of all, it's primarily affecting young men.0.81
01:00:32Secondarily, young men were primed for this because here's like a little zoomer inside baseball.
01:00:37Is from like 12 years old when you're playing video games, and I like video games, I'm a proud gamer, but you're primed for gambling, especially if you're playing games like Fortnite or games like I love FIFA growing up.
01:01:09I don't know if risk tolerance is the proper word to use here, but it's tampered with people's psychology when it comes to risk and involving putting money on the line.
01:01:18And so it basically primed an entire generation.
01:01:20My generation, same thing with Fortnite, same thing with Call of Duty Warzone.
01:01:23It primed us for betting markets, it primed us for sports gambling.
01:01:28I'm probably going to lose money, but when I do make money, I'm going to make it all back.
01:01:31Same thing with Pokemon and Magic the Gathering cards.
01:01:34Like Tim was saying, burnt peanuts opening packs of.
01:01:42These video games like FIFA, like Fortnite, were so designed for mass consumption that it primed people from the online aspect.
01:01:48Because growing up, I don't really remember people doing pack openings or kids on the playground, but you can do that in your living room as long as you had your parents' credit card.
01:01:55The point right now is I'll phrase it like this I have seen probably 7,000 great musicians on Instagram.
01:02:19Like, they might have been cooking with that.
01:02:20Well, go on Instagram and you're like, Jim, many times I have seen the video where a person walks in the room and in the corner of the room, they see the woman in the white dress, the horror twisted in the corner, and then it points and they look down, there's a spider, and then they're both in the corner of the room.
01:02:55I've seen a million videos, okay, in all seriousness, maybe it's 375, where it's some young Gen Z woman playing a folk song and a guitar, and then there's texts being like, you're so lucky your algorithm stumbled upon this independent artist.
01:05:21I mean, like, if Thomas Edison were alive today, he'd be working for some advertising firm, like, you know, digging through people's data to determine, you know, how to best target.
01:05:29You know, a Mr. Beast, you know, candy bar ad or something.
01:05:33Like, that's quite literally the brightest minds in the United States, barring some who do find success, are like pouring into basically advertising agencies.
01:05:44And yeah, to your point, I think people overrate the impact of liberal universities, of mainstream media.
01:05:51I think a lot of what's going on is like social contagions who spread their pathogens through social media.
01:05:57And I'm not an advocate, I think a social media ban actually makes things worse, but it is to indicate.
01:06:02That young people are developing these ideas independently of like, you know, mainstream messaging.
01:06:09I think these are actually developing like pretty organically.
01:06:12Like, you're using with like transgender people.
01:06:13A lot of that stuff, a lot of the stuff they're into, a lot of that culture is developed independently and it is disseminated through social media.
01:06:20But I don't think that is like some of it certainly is top down, but like they enter these universities to the left of the universities.
01:08:52Well, I think it's like virtually impossible to find like a normie oracle.
01:08:56This person that is completely untouched by the internet now because it's like it really is all encompassing.
01:09:00And like my grandmother knows what looks maxing is.
01:09:02I mean, like it is like beyond, you know, it is beyond like this is something that like was circulating on 4chan 10 years ago and now is like in the American zeitgeist.
01:09:10CNN, New York Times are all doing front, you know, big hits on it and whatnot.
01:09:14Like we are beyond the point where, you know, we can like revert back and just go back.
01:09:19You do get these rare moments where the internet actually does, and I'm talking about like the post COVID era, it does offer up something that is probably healthy for people.
01:09:27I think the key is like trying to amplify that.
01:09:28Like, a good example was like in the aftermath of COVID and the lockdowns, chess had this moment where chess, everyone's into chess.
01:09:44But it's funny because it's like you had people from all sorts of walks of life like getting into chess.
01:09:47And what was funny is it kind of died off.
01:09:50And I wonder if part of the reason it died off was because these companies were finding it impossible to monetize it.
01:09:54Like, the main house in chess was chess.com.
01:09:58And chess.com is ran by like these chess purist ideologues.
01:10:01Maybe that's not a, you know, I'm sure chess people will get mad at that.
01:10:04But like, from my perspective, these are people that weren't actually seeking to just like totally monetize their basically stranglehold on the market.
01:10:12And it was this rare moment where I'm like, this is actually something nice that the internet has offered up and provided.
01:10:16I think the key would be like, you kind of have to socially engineer your way out of this is like amplify those more positive analog experiences and pretty much legislate out of existence these more like cancerous elements of the internet, like the gambling and all.
01:10:46And then you go forward in time and you see every time, you know, if you're right, Tim, that we're going towards this thing where it's going to be the attention economy, what do we end up with?
01:11:27So, if any person can go on AI and get a picture generated, a video game made, a movie made, Can answer any question, then humans have no value for each other.
01:12:43There are people right now who just live off welfare.
01:12:45Well, there are people who do nothing and get paid.
01:12:47There are jobs that are fake for the purpose of just to give people money.
01:12:49Well, I agree with that, but that's a progression in a negative way, a regression or whatever the word would be, towards something that's not good, right?
01:12:57There wasn't welfare 100 years ago the same way there is now, right?
01:13:01You had to go to St. Stanislaus if you were Polish American and get some help, or you went to St. Patrick's.
01:13:30Outside, I mean, most people find meaning with families and with their social connections and stuff.
01:13:37Most people don't do a job they love, they do a job that pays the bills, they do a job that they can tolerate.
01:13:45So, I don't know that we're going to be able to fix the fact that people don't have the same social connections, but I don't think the jobs part is actually.
01:13:56That's important because I think that there are an exceedingly few number of people, at least in the world, but specifically in the U.S., that have a job they really enjoy that they love.
01:14:10Most people go to a job that they tolerate.
01:14:35And I mean, I know, Ed, you've talked about this before.0.91
01:14:38I mean, I think part of it really is like with sort of immigration crisis that we have with legal, like you're seeing the sort of the social compact breakdown where, I mean, even legal immigrants are like, okay, so I did all this paperwork and this person just comes and skips the line.0.61
01:14:52Where like a lot of communities in this country really feel unstable because of the volume of like illegal immigration that's coming to the country.0.51
01:14:59And like Trump's been doing some great work on the immigration front.0.60
01:15:01But how do you like to go to young men and you're like, hey, by the way, you can't buy a house and 20 million of them are being occupied?
01:15:07And then Sarah Huckabee Sanders makes an ad just crapping all over you.
01:16:38It's a safe attack vector where it's like, look, if we're going to cut the brass tacks, I think we kind of know instinctually, especially in a place like Arkansas, who the primary people are that are.
01:16:46On welfare, that probably gamer walks alone.
01:16:49Uh, yeah, and so you're seeing like this total all out attack.0.82
01:16:52It's always going to be acceptable to punch, um, and beat up on young white men because like we're expected to just take it, and that's what's so absurd about this.
01:17:01Where you know, some people are like, Well, what if she's doing 40 chess?0.90
01:17:03Like, this is an issue that needs to be solved, but she understands like if she can win over like you know more left wing people by attacking young white men, then like people support it.
01:17:11And I'm like, Then just don't cut the ad at all.
01:17:13Like, why even make the ad in the first place?
01:17:16It's just a completely abhorrent messaging.
01:17:18To young men who, like, it's been well illustrated that, and the Trump administration has been a large part of exposing a lot of this.
01:17:25It's been well illustrated how major institutions in this country have seek to punish young white men, prevent them from getting into college, prevent, like, through deep supporting DEI initiatives, prevent them from getting better and better jobs in the economy that they would be entitled to off of merit.
01:17:38It's just in every direction, it's been this impediment.
01:18:06The number one issue young men are citing is like immigration related issues, whether it's like housing crunches caused by immigration, jobs crunched from immigration.
01:18:15So it's like the Trump administration has been doing really good work on that front.
01:18:18But the problem is immigration, in and of itself, not going to be a kitchen table issue.
01:18:22When you communicate to young guys, hey, we're like buying you back into the game.
01:18:25You guys got completely like nuked from orbit by liberals with their junior partners, the conservative movement.
01:18:31We're buying you back into this game by creating some room with like immigration enforcement.
01:18:36What you don't do is like turn around and then this is your messaging.
01:18:53And so, this isn't just an outlier because you also will see this sorts of messaging from Republicans all the time because they take for granted young white men.
01:19:01Because, you know, as soon as young white men start getting a little agitated and say, What are you going to go vote for the Marxists?
01:19:34They're like, black women, black men are the greatest things in sliced bread.
01:19:37And it's like, if that's your core base, fine, the Democrats know how to play politics.
01:19:41I'm not expecting the GOP to have like, you know, white history month or anything like that, but at the very least, don't attack us.
01:19:47I mean, it is just like, especially if they are in this knife fight for the midterms, I mean, it's insulting, sure.
01:19:53But additionally, you're just going to completely demoralize young guys who, Okay, yes, they're not like the number one voting block.
01:20:00It's still going to be, you know, older, older white people for the Republicans, but you're going to need them at some point, like when, you know, the demographics.
01:22:38I'm not sympathizing with you when you choose to go to a woke university, pretend to be liberal, lie on your papers, and say, please validate me, woke professor.
01:23:33So, again, with all due respect, I understand it is stressful, it is difficult.
01:23:38But if you have decided that you are going to bend the knee to these people, don't be surprised when they lord over you for 20 years.
01:23:49Look, if you're going to steal me and her argument or her ad, at the end, Brad gets a job and it's like, oh, look, this is maybe something good.0.99
01:24:01But you can't deny the fact that, like, young white men have got kind of the shit into the stick for the past decade or so, since 2015.0.98
01:24:10I forget what the article was, but we talked about it on the show before today.0.99
01:24:40Republicans are too scared to say there are black women abusing the welfare system and we're giving too much money to illegal and legal immigrants.1.00
01:25:05If that's your, like, don't even make the ad at all because you've just antagonized who, like, in large part, I can attest to this personally, make up the majority of your activist space.
01:25:13So everyone's like, okay, well, they don't vote.
01:25:15Yes, that's true, but they do provide you the muscle.
01:25:40There is nothing wrong with saying that a majority of like murders are committed by young black men.0.79
01:25:45That is just a statistic and it says nothing about the individual black person.0.93
01:25:49It is not disparaging in any way to your average or any other black person to point out there are criminals that are disproportionately committed by young black men.0.78
01:26:00But what we see here is, as Phil pointed out, and I think has already been said several times, but I'll say it again, it is safe to attack white men.0.98
01:26:10It is safe because white men aren't going to do anything about it.0.53
01:26:14And if she goes after the actual demographics that are abusing welfare, she's like, I would lose every single one of those votes.
01:26:24And this is kind of the point that I was making with, and not for anybody here, not for the people who are obviously standing up and pushing back.0.67
01:26:30But as we're looking at this, you know, I've got X pulled up on monitoring news and I see at Crowder's debate, this woman said she had to lie about her political beliefs, lie on her paperwork, otherwise she wouldn't graduate.0.94
01:26:40And I was like, Congratulations, you bent the knee to woke lunatics.0.94
01:27:24And it's okay to say young white men are probably destined to vote Republican because among young white men, they are more right wing than millennials.
01:27:32And I think potentially even Gen X would say.
01:29:52I don't want to go through all this stuff.
01:29:54But she uses certain usernames that appear on gay dating profiles, and the same username appears on other profiles that are very obviously her.
01:30:17The cheating lesbian funded by a Zionist, the deconstruction of Candace, Candace Owens' hidden homosexuality, the federal agent promoting real Candace O to become president so he can blackmail her with a sex tape, and the Zionist who secretly owns her anti Zionist business.0.99
01:30:49Well, look, I mean, when you're someone as popular as Candace Owens, or someone that has made as much news as Candace Owens has in the past couple of years, if you have skeletons in your closet, people are going to be looking for them.
01:31:05And I mean, obviously, I don't know how legitimate this stuff is.
01:31:08It looks like there might be some substance to it.0.94
01:31:10I saw the tweets myself and I scrolled on by because I don't give much of a crap about Candace Owens.0.92
01:31:15Or the drama kind of stuff, but you know.1.00
01:31:18But who gives a crap if she's gay anyway?0.99
01:31:21I guess the idea is like, if you're going to put in the headline, she's funded by Zionists, I can kind of tell the kind of people that are going to be sharing this and posting it.0.99
01:31:57I think part of the impulse for people to do this is the fact that she's gotten so down in the mud with stuff.
01:32:04And people are like, oh, well, if this is the type of salacious stuff that Candace Owens is involved or interested in reporting, finding out that she has a salacious past or whatever, people are going to be like, look, you lie down with pigs, you get covered in mud.
01:32:27You know, involved in this kind of stuff again, I don't have I gotta, I gotta say that she is, but like the picture they drew is it's pretty good, yeah.
01:32:36You pull that up, I was like, What is this going to be?
01:32:38It's just a test to the ironclad reporting of, yeah, exactly one of the best, misreputable outlets.
01:32:45Yeah, I think they're in the new White House press pool.
01:32:48You can see the mystery wagon outside of the white.
01:32:52Could you imagine if like Laura Loomer asks, like, the one of the one of the the whole the stand in press briefings, you know, just like.0.99
01:32:59Can you comment on Candace Owens being a cheating lesbian funded by Zionists?0.70
01:33:33Out of the can, so you missed the shocking reporting from Mystery Machine News.
01:33:37I'm usually glued to my television set.0.97
01:33:41Why go with the stupidest brand you could to go like if you've got this big expose, call it like the World News Times or something, you know what I mean?0.99
01:33:50Not like shaggyism from the Mystery Machine.0.99
01:33:54I'm curious, the whole philosophy there, too.
01:33:57He's already changed his bio to the man who defeated Candace Owens, claiming victory already.
01:34:59I forgot what it's called, but I was talking to Mershall Ford today.
01:35:03And it looked like Schoolhouse Rock or whatever.
01:35:07And I'm just like, and then I was talking to my wife, and I was like, you know, like Toys R Us, there was like some report that toy sales are up amongst adults or something like this.
01:36:51But I say it again, you know, like, we're chickens in a chicken coop because I look at a lot of this stuff and I'm just like, this is what people want to talk about.0.98
01:36:59Like when I'm on the street and then I see the Jehovah's Witness doing their thing, I stop now.0.99
01:37:15Because if you're hoping to accomplish real change, like if you think Candace is negatively impacting the state of political affairs, this is not the most effective thing that a smart person could do to stop her.
01:37:28The smartest thing you could do would be to make as much money as possible and influence, control, and other systems.
01:37:33If you have control of a large business, you can actually manipulate with that business other industries.
01:37:42You can do things like we see at these universities and subsidize ideas.0.95
01:37:45Making a blog that insults her for being gay doesn't actually do anything.0.99
01:39:10I was an 18 year old trad wife who had a baby at the same age, and I'm 36 now, and I'm here to tell you don't do it.
01:39:17The trad wife trend really came to prominence as the MAGA movement was rising, as Trump was coming into office the first time.
01:39:27What these trad wife accounts are keying into is conservative political movements in the United States.
01:39:34But the trad wife social media trend is waning.
01:39:39Following a bunch of trad wife accounts a few years ago, I was particularly interested in this one by this woman, Bernadine Bluntly.
01:39:48She would make these videos that were about how traditional roles prescribe that women should be submissive to their husbands.1.00
01:39:56Shout out to the men who do these hard jobs, who take these risks so society can function.
01:40:00Soon she would have 140,000 YouTube subscribers.
01:40:04Eventually, it is her income from Instagram, YouTube, and online courses that she sells to young women that sustains her, her husband, and their six children.
01:40:16A couple of months ago, I noticed a new video on her feed.
01:40:21I can no longer align with the trad movement as it exists today.
01:40:25She is not the only one who is distancing herself from the trad movement.
01:40:30Recently, Nara Smith went on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
01:40:33People started to compare you to trad wife.
01:40:35They kind of used me as the poster child for the trad wife movement, which was very bizarre to me.
01:40:40A lot of women who were recruited into the trad movement are recruited when they are very young, when they're 17, 18, a few years out.
01:40:50They are women who have multiple children and are starting to understand.
01:40:55That the fantasy of that life that was sold to them is not what the reality is like.0.99
01:41:02Many women are finding that it's dangerous if they put all of their trust, all of their power, all of their money in the hands of a man who abuses it.
01:41:13What I found talking to these women is many of them feel like their lives could not have gotten worse.
01:41:19What I initially thought was a return to strong family values has, in many cases, devolved into just control, legalism, and an online ideal that doesn't hold up in real life.
01:41:39And I think for the most part, there is no truth, only argument.
01:41:43The New York Times is lying, but this is what the internet and politics is.
01:41:48Isolating a handful of women who've had bad experiences and then saying trad wife is over does not actually mean it's over.0.97
01:41:56Hence, they play everyone's favorite game.0.81
01:41:59She says, Is the trad wife movement over?0.57
01:42:03And I forgot the name of the law, Behringer or something like that, any headline that asks a question can be answered with the word no.
01:42:14So, what the New York Times is doing, taking a handful of accounts with bad experiences and then trying to convince you that women don't want to be trad wives.
01:42:25At the same time, the accounts they're isolating probably were grifters in the first place people who are saying, I'm a trad wife because it got them followers and made them money.
01:42:36This is the internet, and this is the large majority of politics.
01:42:43There are people who are voting based on what they currently believe.
01:42:45Their beliefs can change, and you are being lied to by the media.
01:42:50As always, the overwhelming majority of media is not interested, and this is independent or otherwise, they're not interested in telling you the truth.
01:42:59They're interested in you agreeing with their worldview for the purpose of empowering their worldview for some reason.
01:43:06It's not all bad when I say it like that.1.00
01:43:09Somebody who thinks I need to get people to agree with me on, like, you know, not transing kids or whatever, we get is a good thing.1.00
01:43:16The question is, are you fighting for truth so that people can make these decisions or are you pretending?0.98
01:43:22And I think the sad reality is the overwhelming majority of people have been lying from the get go.
01:43:29We just sometimes overlap in what our moral worldviews are.
01:43:33I do believe there is inherent good and objective evil.
01:43:53And we exist in a world where the likes of the New York Times, as well as these influencers, are trying to manipulate you for some reason, largely to make money.
01:45:13I was going to say, I think earlier I said something that I didn't think that the mainstream media was brainwashing.
01:45:18And you watched this, and I said to you in the middle, is that a journalist?
01:45:21I mean, if you think about how that's structured, how this preachy woman is laying out this argument, and as you say, it's totally fake, but you don't even know how fake it is.
01:47:01Yeah, well, they have like 20 bodies, so they're cleaning up the crime scene with the aesthetic.
01:47:06That's what's, I mean, that's seriously what's going on.0.97
01:47:07And like all these women, I bet, yeah, they're probably like divorced and now they gotta like, you know, recreate themselves or whatever.0.94
01:47:13Half of them probably weren't even calling themselves trad wives before, but now they're coming out on the other side and they're like, yeah, that's exactly.
01:47:19Yeah, the second one, she's like, I used to be a trad wife.
01:47:37And it really makes me want to go live in a van down by the river.0.65
01:47:40Didn't the one girl say she had like a baby at 18 and now she's 36, and uh, something's like, how long has a trad wife been like popularized like this?0.78
01:47:52And also, what are they trying to achieve by like you know trying to make people not want to have more children?
01:47:59Well, this is like I said, this is just the same feminist tropes that have been, yeah, you know, trotted out forever.0.97
01:48:05It's it's the you know, you're you could get into a bad relationship, you need to get a career first, you can you can wait to have kids, etc., etc.
01:48:12Um, and for a long time, you heard women saying, Look, I regret, or you've heard women, you know, saying, I regret the fact that I didn't have kids in when I was young, and now I'm 35, and I can't find a man that wants to settle down or that wants to have children with me, or you know, I froze my eggs, and now I'm, you know, in my 40s, and we're having problems actually having a kid, and etc.
01:48:34These are all real things that women are experiencing.
01:48:37And yes, there are some women that end up in bad marriages or whatever that does happen, but it doesn't change the fact that young women.
01:48:45If they actually do want a family, the best time to do it is when you're young because that's when you're most likely to be able to conceive.
01:48:54That's just the other thing, too, is if we hadn't, if we got rid of no fault divorce, this woman would not be divorced.
01:49:00People just had to, you know, like work hard for their families and it was expected in society.
01:49:05Yeah, we're like dating, you're practicing divorce every time you break up because these people typically will date for like three or four years and then break up.
01:49:12And it's like you've just like thrown away three to four years of something with someone and.
01:49:17People typically engage in all the behaviors that were historically reserved for a marriage.
01:49:38There's no such thing as like a truly like egalitarian marriage.
01:49:41Like, yeah, there's probably some aspects the males like to do and the females like to do, and that doesn't overlap.
01:49:46So then you can go back and say, well, I wasn't a trad wife.0.94
01:49:49It's just like, yeah, she's very redundant.
01:49:51They probably don't really have much reach because I don't think any women are aspiring to be trad wives or just aspiring to be wives with children.0.86
01:49:59And if that is now traditional, so be it.0.70
01:50:02But these women that are actually like, you know, like my fiance, she's, I would say she probably possesses fairly traditional values, but she doesn't have those because the internet told her to do so.0.65
01:50:13It's just like she's a woman that's like naturally, which I'm not a trad husband.
01:50:17I'm just like aspiring to have children.0.95
01:50:23Yeah, this is like just because we're in such a horrific gender zeitgeist right now.1.00
01:50:28I guess these terms do like have possess meaning, but they really didn't 10 years ago.
01:50:32Like, trad wife wasn't invented, it's just gender dynamics, marriage, dating, et cetera, broke down so much that now we had to invent a term for someone that possesses natural gender roles.
01:50:42And I think that's really the more important story in all of this.
01:50:58Up until 1965, or whenever they invented the birth control pill.
01:51:04Which is why, like, back to my initial point, which is someone that is openly identifying as a trad wife, they're possessing these aesthetics, but they're posting online, likely indicates they're hiding something or they're trying to cover up.
01:51:14They're trying to overcompensate for something that happened in the past.
01:51:17And that's why, like, yeah, these people that are engaging in this way, I'm sure there's outliers.
01:51:21I mean, I can't think of any, but I'm sure there are that are like online trad wife influencers.
01:51:28But yeah, if they possess that desire to, like, You know, shout to the rooftops how great this lifestyle is.
01:51:35They're probably juxtaposing it with something in their past that wasn't traditional.
01:51:38And that's why all of a sudden I've discovered this traditional aesthetic and I'm going to make it my whole thing.
01:51:42Because likely what happened in the past wasn't traditional.
01:51:44And so they have that contrast in their head, where most women that you would classify as trad wives or whatever, they've been traditional their whole life.
01:51:51So they don't have this past to juxtapose it to.
01:51:54So it doesn't occur to them to call themselves trad wives.0.84
01:51:57And so, yeah, when you see women identifying this way or have this almost minstrel act of how a traditional woman ought to act, you should evaluate them with serious suspicion and scrutiny because there's likely something going on there.0.95
01:52:12And we've seen countless, you know, how many times have we seen the Tridewife turns out to not be so traditional with the way she's carried herself?0.99
01:52:19We're going to grab your Rumble Rants and Super Chat.0.60
01:52:21So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
01:52:25And the uncensored portion of the show is coming up at 10 p.m.
01:54:50So there's a lot of positive happening around the Second Amendment.
01:54:54I did an interview last night and I said to somebody, I think it's more necessary than ever at this moment in history, maybe back to the revolution, because you just need stability in the society.
01:55:05And when you see what I saw, which is I looked at the emails of Lisa Monaco, I looked at Jack Smith's inbox, these people were targeting Americans.
01:55:16They had real plans to target Americans, to destroy Americans.
01:55:21This was not like, oh, should we debate the marginal tax rates?
01:55:25This was, we're going to put you in that gulag in DC.0.58
01:55:27We're going to make up the law that we use to get you.0.69
01:55:30And so, getting your Second Amendment rights back, if you can, you know, and I tell people, you get out of prison having served your time, you get your First Amendment rights back automatically.
01:55:39You can speak whatever you want, you can assemble whatever you want.
01:55:41And so, you ought to, all these years of chipping away at it, we have not had that back, and we should, and we're going to have them.
01:55:48Actually, I want to talk to you about that with the last few minutes before we go to the Uncensored Show.
01:55:52You saw political weaponization targeting adversaries of Biden or the Republicans?
01:55:58Well, the biggest one that I saw, there's two ways to answer that.
01:56:01The first one is, When I became U.S. Attorney, I wanted to know.0.89
01:56:05I called it the 1512 Project, echoing the 1619 Project.
01:56:09I said, I want to know why we charged in this office, in the U.S. Attorney's office, the 1512 charge, because it's called obstruction of official proceeding, and it's meant to be about evidence tampering, not going to the Electoral College and somehow disrupting the count, which is what they said.
01:56:26And what you discover in there is it went all the way up to Lisa Monaco's desk.
01:56:34And once that was done, once the decision was made to use that lie, because if you trespass into the Capitol, that's a trespass, it's a misdemeanor.
01:56:42And no one's getting held on a misdemeanor.
01:56:45You had to put the felony of 1512 on it to make these guys go to jail and rot in jail for years and years.
01:56:51So, my point in the 1512 project, which is a document that exists, it shows the trail and it shows the Capitol Siege unit was targeting people to put them in jail.
01:57:10I mean, well, we've been asking for almost six years now.
01:57:13I think we're just, we're just, well, we're resigned to the fact that Trump is not going to give us any real power to tell people what's going on.
02:01:00I'm saying, you know, we can't afford to let them be in charge.
02:01:03Well, could I ask you kind of a related question?
02:01:05Because, I mean, it's kind of the same topic around like the mass deportations kind of themes.
02:01:09Because, you know, from my perspective, this kind of is where the energy is with Republicans.
02:01:14I mean, this is for most people at the top of their list what they want to see the Trump administration carry out.
02:01:19I'm kind of wondering what your perspective is because a lot of people are sort of contesting the same thing, which is look, Trump's trying to do one thing, but he's running up against a lot of walls regarding this.
02:01:27I'm kind of wondering where your head is at on the mass deportation.
02:01:29Well, I mean, look, you guys probably could tell.
02:01:32I mean, I was frustrated in my role because I wanted to do more.
02:01:57The first 60 days, we did more to dismiss cases, pardon people, fire people.
02:02:03Look, we pardoned all the J6ers, we pardoned all the FACE Act, we pardoned cops.1.00
02:02:09We dismissed case after case and fired prosecutors.1.00
02:02:11What I would tell you is what I discovered was that's the tip of the iceberg.
02:02:16That the people that stayed, the people that are there, and then the people in the administration that came in in the administration become part of the system.
02:02:25And everything, the oxygen of the deep state is delay.
02:02:31It took us 15 months to implement what should have taken three months in the firearms restoration, firearm rights restoration, because there's All these layers, all these manuals, all this nonsense.
02:02:43And I look, if I could have gone back and done what we did in the first 60 days for the whole time, it would have been better.
02:03:21We're negotiating against ourselves because of the federal courts.
02:03:24Yeah, because, like, on the deportation front, because you've outlined the deep state, but then also you have these, like, special interest groups as well.
02:03:56This snooky woman, the judge in the District of Columbia, this is insanity.1.00
02:04:01And there's no stomach to use the tools in the Constitution from the Congress to just, if you just talk about impeachment, these people lose their mind.
02:04:44But I'm just telling you if you think that it's not progress, if you think we didn't make progress, then you don't know how these things work, in my opinion.
02:05:24It's like the Geneva Convention the rules of engagement are they get to be armed, and we have to put down our arms and let them shoot us in the head.0.97
02:05:33And then we're like, wow, these, and they say, but you must abide by the Geneva Convention.
02:06:05Because he's the guy who's arguing that when you get into office, you don't play by the rules, you go to war.
02:06:10And the Republicans right now are saying, slow down there, Democrats.
02:06:14Well, not all of them, but I mean, here's the problem with that.
02:06:16You can wish that you could burn down the Republican Party, but you got to have a vehicle.
02:06:20You got to pick a team, and you got to make the team better.
02:06:23And when I say finish the job, what I mean by finish the job is the Republican Party has to become completely now the America First MAGA party.
02:06:33I want to tell you guys a story that I probably shouldn't tell you, but I'm going to tell you anyway, but I'm going to save it for the uncensored.
02:06:37Portion of the show because we are a bit over time, but I'm going to tell you the story anyway because I'm going to talk to you about my ethos and probably why I'll never be in office.
02:06:46So smash the like button, share the show with everyone.
02:06:48You can follow me on Axe and Instagram at Timcast.
02:06:51The uncensored show is coming up just after this.
02:06:54Before we get to that, Ed, do you want to shout anything out?
02:07:00Well, at Eagle Ed Martin is where to follow me, and also the website that I put up to help with getting people's rights back is firearmrightsusa.com.
02:07:10FirearmRightsUSA.com and at Eagle Ed Martin on Instagram and X to follow that.
02:12:47So what ends up happening is when we moved from the studio and we came here, we contacted them as we had a contract for several years and told them.
02:14:08I'm like, I don't know who the fuck this company is.0.98
02:14:11And they said, the amount of money it's going to cost you in legal fees and going to court to fight this debt, it's going to be more than 40.0.99
02:14:17So, like, pay the $40,000 and you're done with it.0.86
02:14:19And I said, I am not fucking giving $40,000 to a stranger on the internet because they're claiming I owe them money.0.69
02:14:25It's like, well, it's a real collection agency.0.97
02:14:27And I said, send them an email and tell them I'll give them $5,000.
02:14:32I'm sorry they collected a bad debt, but this should cover their time.1.00
02:14:36And they responded back with a, you know, polite go fuck yourself.0.99
02:14:41I said, call them on the phone and tell them that's all that's going to happen and we're done with this.0.99
02:14:44And again, my lawyers came back and said, at this point, we're spending money on lawyers, right?
02:14:48They were like, look, you've already spent more money now on dealing with a problem, and they're not going to go away.
02:14:54And we talked to them on the phone, and they're not interested.
02:16:49And I said, Yes, you are telling me that if I don't give you money, I don't owe you, you are going to bring me to court and try and drag more money out of me.
02:17:19And here's what I'm going to do I'm going to go on my show to 12 million followers tonight, and I'm going to name you personally and your company for trying to shake me down for $80,000, and then we'll have another conversation.
02:18:19Don't get me wrong, I understand the system is much more complicated when it comes to the federal government than I realize.
02:18:24But if you cannot effectively communicate to the people standing behind you or the people standing in front of you, ready to take a bullet for you, as to why the job must be done in this way, they will walk away from you.
02:18:38And so, this is the frustration I have when I see what's going on.
02:18:43In DC, and with my bias due to my personal experience with every single case, I had a lawsuit where my lawyers are like, the judge has ordered us to do this thing.
02:18:54The defendants that I was suing were violating every court order, every single one.0.99
02:19:00And the judge was going, oh, you know, I mean, you know, and my lawyer's like, you better not cross that line, Tim, because if you violate the orders, and I'm like, what the fuck is this shit?0.98
02:19:09Well, so long story short, I'm going to personal details.1.00
02:19:12I said, go fuck yourself, went nuclear, and I got a half victory, more so than I would have gotten with these people breaking the rules.0.99
02:19:18So, my experience with lawyers is I'm going to take the path of least resistance.1.00
02:19:24We're all going to give up and you're going to lose.
02:19:26And what happens is because Republicans are spineless, the Democrats are like, we are doing this because we believe in a different world.
02:19:35And the Republicans are doing this, saying, we believe in the world we're in.
02:19:38And the Democrats are like, I will murder to get what I want.
02:19:42And the Republicans are like, whoa, slow down there.
02:20:19Like my lawyers, just give the Democrats what they're asking for so they leave us alone.
02:20:24You've got more people now in the administration who are obviously willing to go to war, which is fantastic, but I don't think they're willing to do what needs to be done to actually win the conflict they're facing.
02:20:37That is, when a man has pulled a gun figuratively, the Democrats have pulled a gun on Trump, threatening to imprison him for the rest of his life, raiding his family's home, and the Republicans pulled out legal paperwork.
02:20:49And the meme consistently is that Republicans.
02:20:52Pull out strongly worded letters while they're staring down the barrel of the Democrats' gun.
02:20:57So, you know, maybe there's more to it, and there probably is, but then my only response to that is the Republicans' leadership is the worst if you cannot rally the people.
02:21:12Dan Bongino with the Epstein files, worst PR I've ever seen.
02:21:55I mean, look, you're saying, Tim, you're saying what most people feel, and you're saying there's a reason why I'm outside of government now because I did what I thought I could do and it was time to get out.
02:22:08What Trump represents is a break, again, from my experience of 25 years of politics.
02:22:13But we've never had a Republican leader do what he's done.
02:22:17So shift the entire focus of the Republican Party and governing in a way that has been progress.
02:22:26You know, America First is one way to say it.
02:22:28I would say, like, I was on the Republican National Committee in 2013 through 15, and you couldn't be against free trade and be in good standing because there were about five of us that were, you know, opposing free trade.0.69
02:26:00They said we want to shove a pipe up his ass and make him suffer for no fucking reason.1.00
02:26:04So, I expect when Donald Trump gets his home raided by these people, he's going to be like, fuck you, it's time for war.1.00
02:26:13Instead, I'm left feeling like a random guy on the internet expressing his opinion is unjustly and unfairly targeted by these psychopaths in government, and there's not a single fucking advocate for me.1.00
02:26:27And I'm saying that very personally because obviously most people, the J6ers obviously feel it more than I do.1.00
02:26:32They mocked me and defamed me, they put these people in solitary confinement.1.00
02:26:50I can go through all the scenarios on seizing Venezuela, pacifying the Caribbean, oil exports in the Gulf, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.0.94
02:27:41Keep Americans divided so they bicker amongst themselves, and you keep getting your wars.
02:27:45The Democrats are going to come in and keep doing the same exact thing.
02:27:49And so it's demoralizing to be at this point to do what Tate correctly called the land acknowledgement.
02:27:57Like Trump has done good things, we all get it.
02:28:00But then to be faced with the economic failures, the diesel shortage, the gas prices, all of these problems into a midterm.
02:28:09If the deep state is burning this country to the ground, If they're putting innocent people in prison, if they're raiding the president's home, I don't understand why we've prioritized going to war for as long as we have.
02:28:59And I wonder if after the midterms, I mean, if the president will change his mindset because, you know, I mean, look, I like that cash.
02:29:09When I was U.S. Attorney, we cracked down on crime in the District of Columbia because I was doing ride alongs with the cops and I was seeing what a dump it was.
02:30:54I think my theory is more likely correct than everybody else's.
02:30:58When you take a look, I'll give you the simple version.
02:30:59When you take a look at every action taken by the administration in this term, Again, pacifying the Caribbean, the criminals, you're clearing transport lanes, Panama Canal negotiations, Greenland for Northwest Passage, exports in the Gulf, Venezuela, Cuba, shutting the Strait of Hormuz down.
02:31:16It really does look like an intentional attack on the oil system, recentering oil production and exporting through the United States as opposed to the Gulf and the OPEC nations, cutting off China from 50% of their oil.
02:31:31What I can say is when it comes to domestic stuff, I can tell you.
02:31:36On the surface, factually, they're not doing everything they can to win this.
02:31:42So, my only conclusion is they must be in on it because there are things that I know they're capable of doing that they could do that they don't do.
02:31:51Like, I'll keep it simple like things that Democrats do, putting Steve Bannon in jail.
02:31:57Republicans could easily do any one of those things, they don't.
02:32:00So, I'm like, they must all be in on it together because holding someone in contempt, like Comey or something, is really easy to do.
02:32:13The Democrats come out and lie, like Raskin lied about me.
02:32:16They made up fake charges against two random individuals in Eastern Europe no one's ever heard of, so they could falsely accuse me, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson of being funded by the Russians, despite the fact Dave Rubin's show was watching viral clips of animals slipping on banana peels.
02:32:30Our show was talking about weird nonsense like flat Earth and aliens, but that was one big psyop.
02:32:36And that's why after the election they dropped the case, just disappeared.
02:34:59And he reaches out his hand and you grab his hand and you're like, you'll always be my brother.
02:35:04And he's like, he smiles at you and then you hear like he flatlines as like it takes him.
02:35:10That's actually the manliest thing a person could do.0.98
02:35:12But if you're like going for a walk in the park and he looks at you and you reach out his hand and you hold it as you walk together, yeah, that's gay.0.98
02:36:02But, like, you know, if it's functional, like, hey, you know, I'm grabbing his hand because he's, you know, needs a hand getting up the, you know, the rock that we're climbing, then, then no.0.80
02:36:13If it's like acting upon attraction or facilitating sodomy, I think we could probably say no.
02:37:53I wish there was something I could do about your audio, sir.
02:37:56I'm just concerned, you know, friends in the Navy, and they say it's not gay, you know, like to frolick around, hold hands, and hold in bed.0.80
02:40:01Yeah, I mean, well, Canada barely has a military as it is, but yeah.
02:40:05So, like the explanation if a very powerful country allows another country to try to assassinate their leader, basically, if they allow it, their power would wane over time.
02:40:33So, we shouldn't be obligated to go to war with them.0.97
02:40:36Yeah, if the argument was after an attempt on the life of our president, we bombed the fuck and wiped out their 50 top leadership, I would say the war is over.0.98
02:42:15I think our politics and the people in this country have their patriotism weakened to the point where they don't accept. simplistic ideals to actually do what needs to be done in order to keep the power in this country.
02:42:27Also, I don't know if we have the capability to take out Iran.0.95
02:42:30There's also a large portion of the, there's a large portion of the population, or at least a large portion of the Republican Party that is far more isolationist and thinks that the United States should not be so aggressive in influencing other, other countries' political, you know, I agree with that 100%.0.87
02:42:50I am more or less an isolationist, but if another country tries to kill our leader, Wipe them out.
02:43:02That's a legitimate take, I guess, you know?0.72
02:43:05I mean, otherwise, our power would slowly wane over time if we allow it to happen over, you know, because they're going to be like, well, Iran's still standing, even though they tried to kill his leader.0.95
02:43:36But if you have a good reason to fight, and this is the problem, our political class is not giving good reasons to fight, then we should be willing to sacrifice just like our military is sacrificing.0.77
02:43:50We didn't join World War II until the Japanese bombed us.0.95
02:43:53I mean, it's like completely incomparable with Iran, where, I mean, Iran, like, whether you're for the war or not, I mean, We were doing a tango with them for the last 50 years versus World War II, which was like.0.96
02:44:07I agree, the Japanese bombed us and killed our military soldiers.0.96
02:45:01I mean, again, if an Iranian agent got up and took a pot shot at Trump, and this was well documented, this was put in the press, that'd be one thing.
02:45:08But you're talking about a foiled conspiracy.
02:45:11I mean, there are 30 foiled conspiracies on the president probably every year.
02:45:14I mean, this was the case even under Obama.
02:45:22But, okay, to the point of is this grounds for war?
02:45:27I mean, that's a completely different situation.
02:45:30Because, I mean, again, the reason we're going to war with Iran is not because they tried to assassinate the president and the war is deeply unpopular.
02:45:39Again, because the things that were precursors to World War II were vastly different than the precursors to the Iran War.
02:45:50Again, if Canada, I mean, but that's just irrelevant.
02:45:52I mean, if Canada, but Canada, why would, I mean, that's just, it's completely.0.53
02:45:56The statement is if you allow a country to try to assassinate your president and you don't respond in kind, such as war and wipe that country out, other countries are going to do it.
02:46:37Yeah, but this is just such a sloppy way to justify this war, which there's a reason why the Trump administration backed away from this talking point because they realized, no, it's completely incomparable to the past.
02:46:49I mean, from the perspective from a lot of American people, they're saying, well, we've been.0.65
02:46:53Having this tango with Iran, like, of course, we killed their leader.0.82
02:46:57So, of course, there's going to be this tango.1.00
02:47:02But my proof was that I asked all of you in the hypothetical after World War II, when our patriotism was at its peak, we've all decided to wipe out the country to try to assassinate our president.
02:47:13Now, there's so much politics involved and so much weakness and patriotism in this country that we have to come up with all these different reasons rather than keeping the simplistic view.
02:47:27If you threaten us, such as trying to kill our president, kill our soldiers, or anything like that, we come after you and we wipe you out.0.82
02:47:35But part of the reason there's not this drum up of patriots and this demand for war is because people of your ilk squandered all of that in the global war on terror.0.97
02:47:43So, like, a lot of people are not going to be super fired up about a Middle Eastern intervention because we already did this two times.
02:47:50So, it's like, I agree, in a vacuum, this should be the response, but there's so much extra context where it's not the same as if.
02:47:57Canada, who was an ally in 1950, abruptly assassinated or attempted to assassinate a president.
02:48:02That's just, it's a completely different context from a global adversary.
02:48:06We're coming out of two wars that were deeply unpopular.
02:48:08The neocons squandered all of their political capital on it and they're on the way out.
02:48:12I mean, it's just, it's, it's, it's just incomparable.
02:48:15I, I saw you trying to like set this hypothetical up with, with your 1950 example, but it's just, you're comparing apples to oranges here.
02:48:22I mean, these are two completely different scenarios.
02:48:25If Norway turned around and if the Norwegians turned around and tried to assassinate Trump, it'd be like, I think the Americans.
02:48:31Probably would be okay with glassing them, but it's so inconceivable because Norway, like, why would they're an ally, you know, they're an et cetera?
02:49:11We're losing the midterm because of this, because the politics and the patriotism in this country has gone so bad that we are not willing to accept simplistic reasons to maintain the authority and power in this world.
02:49:24But part of the reason it's down is because your ilk won't take responsibility that you've just led us into these countless quagmires where, yeah, a lot of people aren't too thrilled about this.
02:49:39I'm advocating that we have to respond to the assassination attempt of our president.
02:49:43You're the only person in the country that thinks that because everyone in the Trump administration that's beating the war drum for Iran is completely separate.
02:49:50My explanation is Trump is a politician, so he needs to say what he can say to get as much support as he can.
02:49:56I'm saying this country has weakened its patriotism, that he has to do that rather than stating this is a simplistic reason that in order for our country to maintain its freedom and power, we cannot let our adversaries attempt to kill our presidents.
02:50:10I mean, I think he's tried to outline up the outside of the war.
02:50:14The only argument is Trump blew up all of their top brass.
02:50:46There's the IRGC and there's the original Republic of Iran that are not the IRGC that believe the IRGC is an invading force.0.99
02:50:53And they supported their king, and this other group came in, and they're Islamic jihadists and Muslims that tried to spread this religion across their entire country and they corrupted the country, right?0.82
02:51:04I mean, that sentiment is common in the diaspora, so we engage with that more.1.00
02:51:08But I keep getting these people in my replies, and I'm like, no, that reality is not the reality in Iran.
02:51:15Like, our bombings of Iran have actually created a rally around the flag moment in Iran, where like this dynamic, yes, that's the case in Los Angeles.
02:51:24Yes, the Persian community there are monarchist or whatever, but But the reality on the ground in Iran, it's not happening.0.52
02:51:31I mean, we did everything we could to create room for them to carry out a revolution, and it just hasn't happened.
02:51:52I mean, again, you have Israel fanatics, you have Iranian monarchists, and then you have neocons, and all three of them keep demanding more from us.
02:52:31I mean, that was the whole idea behind the Iran war is that we take out all their top brass and then these people rise up, and it hasn't happened.0.71
02:53:25It's going to cost us the midterms and it's going to cost us more elections when, again, the whole impetus behind Trump was to prevent these sort of quagmires from happening.0.95
02:53:32I mean, again, it's just fantasy land that we're going to go into Iran.0.73
02:53:36And kill a bunch of their guys, and then suddenly, like, it's a Marvel movie, all the locals are going to rise up.0.51
02:57:26She was a really interesting lady, had a long career, anti communist, Catholic out of the Midwest, and then cut her teeth organizing the anti ERA movement.
02:57:36And she was really the first one that organized Christians and Jews and Mormons to hold arms and link together.
02:58:15And in fact, when I left the administration a month ago, I had an hour long conversation in the Oval Office with the president, just me and him.
02:58:22And he talked a lot about Phyllis because when she backed him, nobody thought a social conservative from the Midwest like her would back a twice divorced New York former Democrat, et cetera.
02:58:46I mean, one thing I'll tell you for the kids listening she, when she was 14 years old, she had a teacher who told her to write 250 words a day, whole school year long.
02:59:12If you really want to learn about her, the Lincoln Presidential Library has an oral history, and there's about 11 hours of Phyllis Schlafly being interviewed, and it's a pretty interesting career.
03:00:04The challenge with Tim Kest IRL is everyone expects it to be a sit down interview show because we have the guests come on, but it's a news commentary show, so it is what it is.
