Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump NUKES IRS, Mass Fed Layoffs, Democrats REVOLT Over 200k Layoffs w-Roma Nation | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 It's a beautiful Friday with tremendously good news, ladies and gentlemen.

00:00:25.000 Thousands of layoffs at the IRS. I say it with the utmost calm and reserve.

00:00:31.000 I am very excited.

00:00:32.000 The layoffs have hit the IRS. They're estimating upwards of 200,000 feds may lose their jobs.

00:00:39.000 And once again, Democrats are apoplectic.

00:00:42.000 They can't believe it!

00:00:44.000 There was protests in D.C. from federal workers being like, you can't take our jobs away.

00:00:48.000 And it's just like, yo, I think Trump may have moved a little too early on this one because I would have loved for Democrats to defend literal tax collectors.

00:00:58.000 But to be fair, it is tax season and Trump has Democrats actually defending tax collectors.

00:01:04.000 So I think the rest of the meeting around 9... 0.98

00:01:06.000 Holy crap.

00:01:09.000 And then we have some developments on the AOC front with Tom Homan. 0.97

00:01:13.000 He's spoken up once again about the potential criminal liabilities for AOC protecting illegal immigrants.

00:01:21.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:23.000 And then we'll get a little – there's a bunch of other news.

00:01:25.000 The Army saying no more transgender troops.

00:01:27.000 We're not going to have that. 0.99

00:01:28.000 And we'll get into Bill Burr saying that he wants – holy crap. 0.71

00:01:34.000 Well, I don't want to get too aggressive in the beginning, but he wishes for... 0.96

00:01:38.000 I'll put it this way.

00:01:39.000 It's not that he wants to kill billionaires.

00:01:40.000 It's that he wants them to not be alive anymore, which is a very bold statement.

00:01:44.000 I stole it from Family Guy, by the way.

00:01:46.000 I stole that joke.

00:01:46.000 So let's...

00:01:47.000 Before we get started, my friends, we got a new episode of The Green Room up.

00:01:50.000 Another episode will be up shortly.

00:01:52.000 Last night we had Nate Kane on the show, and it was funny.

00:01:56.000 I was talking to Allison earlier, and I mentioned this guy Nate Kane is a whistleblower who said he blew the whistle on some of the stuff Hillary Clinton had been doing.

00:02:03.000 And people tried to kill him.

00:02:05.000 He doesn't know who.

00:02:05.000 He may have been poisoned.

00:02:07.000 The lug nuts on his wheels and his car, they had been removed, and he almost crashed.

00:02:12.000 Like, his kid noticed the car was shaking.

00:02:15.000 And I was talking to Allison, and she was like...

00:02:17.000 It was really hard to concentrate when we were playing Magic the other day because I kept trying to listen to what he was saying because it was so insane.

00:02:22.000 Like, it's a crazy, awesome story.

00:02:24.000 If you want to watch that and listen to that interview, go to rumble.com slash timcastirl.

00:02:29.000 It's premium only.

00:02:30.000 You guys can go to timcastpremium.com to sign up for Rumble Premium and watch that behind-the-scenes Green Room episode where he basically talks about how...

00:02:39.000 Someone was trying to kill him, it sounds like, I guess.

00:02:41.000 But we do have another episode that'll be up tonight with Roman Nation, of course. 0.94

00:02:45.000 They're joining us.

00:02:46.000 But also, don't forget to head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.

00:02:49.000 Dude, I don't know what it is, but you guys rag on Ian all day, and that's fine.

00:02:53.000 But holy crap, the dude sold 200 bags of coffee since this morning.

00:02:59.000 We were on the Culture War show, and Ian was like, it's great coffee, you should buy it. 0.98

00:03:03.000 And I'm like, it was 1,290-something.

00:03:06.000 Now it's 1,094.

00:03:09.000 Our normal sales, we expect to sell, like, 5,000 bags of one brand of coffee in, like, six months to a year, and Ian did that in a month, and now we're going on month two of the year, and he's already sold, I believe, around 3,000 or 4,000 bags.

00:03:24.000 People love Ian.

00:03:25.000 I know the chat.

00:03:26.000 They say, please know Ian over and over and over again, but people, maybe they're buying it because they know it's going to put them through college, and they're hoping that's the case.

00:03:33.000 Don't forget, my friends, we have a big sponsor tonight.

00:03:36.000 Shout out to NetSuite, Oracle NetSuite.

00:05:09.000 What's going on, Tim?

00:05:10.000 Who are you?

00:05:10.000 What do you do?

00:05:11.000 Yeah, so I'm the host of Roman Nation.

00:05:14.000 I'm also the founder of Rise of Middle America, the Roman Nation network.

00:05:19.000 And you can see us at RiseofMiddleAmerica.com.

00:05:24.000 We're here on Saturdays.

00:05:25.000 Sorry.

00:05:26.000 We're at Saturdays, 9 p.m.

00:05:28.000 Eastern Standard Time, and I do some voiceover work with Seamus as well.

00:05:33.000 Oh, right on.

00:05:34.000 Yeah.

00:05:35.000 On Freedom Tunes, huh?

00:05:36.000 On Freedom Tunes.

00:05:37.000 Ooh, excellent, excellent.

00:05:38.000 And who is this fine young gentleman?

00:05:40.000 My name's Scrapjaw.

00:05:41.000 I'm the co-host on Roman Nation Podcast, and I basically just hang out and fill the dead air.

00:05:47.000 Oh, that's great.

00:05:48.000 We'll need that tonight.

00:05:49.000 Let's go.

00:05:50.000 So you guys got started on the Discord?

00:05:51.000 Is that what it is?

00:05:52.000 On the Timcast Discord server?

00:05:53.000 Yeah.

00:05:53.000 That's great.

00:05:54.000 That's amazing.

00:05:55.000 Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

00:05:56.000 It was a lot of fun.

00:05:57.000 So I actually started out probably in July, right after the Discord started.

00:06:04.000 And I decided, you know what, I'm going to do you a treat.

00:06:07.000 Let's see if we can get some other heads in here or try to get you more memberships by doing certain shows inside of the Discord.

00:06:16.000 So I decided, you know, I'll do my first two seasons there on the Discord.

00:06:21.000 I appreciate it.

00:06:22.000 I mean, that was basically the mission of the Discord server was because...

00:06:26.000 I always say, like, you know, the Finding Fathers organized a revolution in bars and pubs.

00:06:30.000 Right.

00:06:30.000 So we want to do that with the coffee shops, but the first thing we'll do is we'll create a digital space where the people who watch this show can hang out with each other when we're not having the show, and it's been a smashing success.

00:06:40.000 There's over 20,000 people are in it, and you guys are there.

00:06:44.000 There's, Sienoski has a show, the white part.

00:06:48.000 Yeah.

00:06:49.000 So it's really quite amazing, and it is an honor and a privilege for me to have you guys here.

00:06:55.000 And just to see what everyone else in the Discord server has been doing, making culture, making shows.

00:06:59.000 So glad to have you.

00:07:01.000 We also got Brett hanging out.

00:07:02.000 Speaking of filling dead air, that's what I'm here for, guys.

00:07:06.000 What's up?

00:07:06.000 It's Brett.

00:07:06.000 I host Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday, 3 p.m.

00:07:09.000 Eastern, standard time on YouTube.

00:07:11.000 But let's talk politics tonight.

00:07:13.000 We got Phil.

00:07:14.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:14.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:07:15.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:07:17.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:07:19.000 Let's go, Tim.

00:07:20.000 Here's the story from the Washington Post, ladies and gentlemen.

00:07:23.000 On this, the most auspicious of February 14th, as we are entering into the depths of tax season, layoffs to hit IRS as Doge targets tax collections.

00:07:34.000 Oh, boy.

00:07:35.000 The cuts are expected to at least partially reverse the Biden administration's efforts to beef up the agency.

00:07:40.000 I just want to stress.

00:07:42.000 They're talking about 9,000 employees that may lose their jobs over this.

00:07:46.000 And it's part of a broader move to fire up to 200,000 probationary federal employees.

00:07:53.000 Tax collectors are not your friends.

00:07:55.000 Nope.

00:07:55.000 They are not trying to make sure you get your maximum refund.

00:07:59.000 And Joe Biden, the Biden administration, did not hire 87,000.

00:08:03.000 It was 87,000, right?

00:08:04.000 87,000.

00:08:04.000 Strange number.

00:08:05.000 They didn't do that because they're going to go after the billionaires.

00:08:08.000 Because there aren't that many billionaires.

00:08:10.000 They didn't go after you.

00:08:11.000 So they can nickel and dime you into the poorhouse because they can't manage their funds. 0.79

00:08:17.000 And this is so perfect.

00:08:19.000 This is a one-two punch from the Trump administration right now.

00:08:21.000 Start with USAID. Show all of the American people what they're wasting your money on.

00:08:25.000 So you get nice and riled up like, what is this?

00:08:28.000 Gender studies in Pakistan.

00:08:30.000 And then...

00:08:31.000 Go to the IRS and say, and now we want to stop them from taking your money.

00:08:35.000 Because then when the Democrats come out and say, we must protect the IRS, you go, the people that took my money for Pakistani gender studies?

00:08:41.000 I ain't supporting that.

00:08:42.000 So masterfully played.

00:08:44.000 But let me give you some news.

00:08:47.000 The Trump admin is expected to begin layoffs of thousands of employees at the IRS. Six people briefed in the matter said as billionaire Elon Musk team begins to target tax collections.

00:08:56.000 Treasury officials have discussed laying off roughly 9,000 employees still in their probationary period as part of broader dismissals across the government of recently hired workers, according to the six people who spoke in the condition of anonymity, to reveal internal conversations.

00:09:10.000 I suppose my question to all of you is who dare would defend the IRS?

00:09:15.000 Any of you?

00:09:16.000 Any of you?

00:09:16.000 I wouldn't, but I guarantee there are Democrats that are going to do it.

00:09:19.000 There absolutely is.

00:09:20.000 Absolutely.

00:09:21.000 What's funny about it is, for as long as I can remember, not even just talking politics, but if you're talking amongst friends, movies and television, it's not like you've ever seen anybody give a positive portrayal of an IRS agent.

00:09:34.000 Ever.

00:09:34.000 There was a show called Warehouse 13 where their cover in the show is their IRS agents and they don't know that at first.

00:09:40.000 So everyone in the town hates them and they have no idea why and it's when they find out they all work for the Internal Revenue Service so everybody in town just hates them on principle.

00:09:48.000 Yeah, I mean that makes perfect sense.

00:09:50.000 But now we are seeing people actually get tricked.

00:09:53.000 I don't know if it's tricked into it.

00:09:54.000 It's almost probably out of necessity because they know that ideologically they're not allowed to speak out of line.

00:10:01.000 So they don't want to actually talk positive about the IRS, but they understand that they will be looked down upon by their cohorts if they do so.

00:10:09.000 So I can't speak for how people get this mindset, but there is a segment of the population that I think genuinely does believe the government is a good thing, net positive.

00:10:25.000 They do good things for the people.

00:10:28.000 There's not as much corruption as other people in the country would say there is.

00:10:35.000 They think that the average person that works for the government is actually a noble person trying to do good things for the people.

00:10:44.000 These are the same people that think that, like, universal health care would be a good, or Medicaid for all would be a good thing.

00:10:50.000 They don't believe there is as much waste and fraud and abuse of power in the government.

00:10:56.000 I think there's, oh yeah, I think the people that are socialists nowadays, they believe that.

00:11:02.000 I don't think so.

00:11:02.000 If they didn't believe that, or at least I find it difficult to square that circle that they don't believe the government is inherently good, but they want more of it.

00:11:13.000 I can't wrap my head around that.

00:11:14.000 It's the, what you call it, strategy.

00:11:18.000 It's a dialectic.

00:11:19.000 No, no, no.

00:11:20.000 What's it?

00:11:21.000 Piven.

00:11:21.000 The Piven.

00:11:23.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11:25.000 They know the government is destructive.

00:11:28.000 They know that it's extracting resources for the people.

00:11:30.000 They know that it's being spent on garbage, and they want to accelerate the U.S. into destruction.

00:11:35.000 They say this, from the ashes of the old, we shall build anew.

00:11:38.000 They don't want to protect, clean, and preserve.

00:11:43.000 A wound on America that they bandaged with social spending, never cleaned and disinfected, and slapped more bandages on top of it's gone gangrenous.

00:11:53.000 And the socialist strategy is don't let anyone know, let it rot and fall off.

00:11:57.000 And the Trump strategy is we need to go to the hospital immediately and clean this up.

00:12:01.000 It's going to hurt, but it has to be done.

00:12:03.000 I don't believe for a second, even the people who are just like zealously anti-Elon and Trump, they don't know or care about wasteful spending.

00:12:12.000 No, true that.

00:12:14.000 And not only that, but they also think that Elon Musk is coming in to steal all your tax money to become the richest man again.

00:12:22.000 He needs your money.

00:12:23.000 Well, to be fair, he needs your money to go to Mars.

00:12:26.000 That's right.

00:12:26.000 Imagine me believing, the absolute hubris of me believing that he wants to steal my identity.

00:12:33.000 Like, he's not looking at my credit score and looking on positively.

00:12:37.000 The thing is, I don't like being Elon.

00:12:39.000 I want to be Brett, and I'm going to take his name.

00:12:41.000 Look, I don't blame him, okay?

00:12:43.000 I don't blame him.

00:12:44.000 So the tinfoil there is that Elon's really in the business of stealing up people's identities because he's going to create new AIs for them.

00:12:53.000 Well, I mean, that would be great.

00:12:55.000 Facebook is posting all sorts of, like, AI profiles now to the market.

00:13:00.000 How based would it be if it turned out that Elon was actually trying to enact the plot from Westworld?

00:13:06.000 Where he takes everyone's identity and turns them into AI versions of themselves and puts them in robot bodies.

00:13:11.000 See, I like the idea that he creates the AI of you and it's just a better version of who you are and then he presents it to you like, oh, don't you want to be this person?

00:13:19.000 He's already a better version of you anyways.

00:13:21.000 Aspirational I. Yeah.

00:13:23.000 Oh, we should make...

00:13:24.000 See, this is what I've been saying.

00:13:25.000 I've been saying I want to do short films for so long because we need a film producer so that we can literally make the short film of Phil answers his door and Elon is standing there with another version of Phil.

00:13:35.000 And then it's just like, hello, Phil.

00:13:37.000 And then Phil's like, what is this?

00:13:38.000 And then they tase Phil.

00:13:40.000 And then they drag his body out.

00:13:41.000 And then the robot takes over his life and appears on the show.

00:13:44.000 And then it's just Phil's on the show like, I am a co-host on Tim Kester.

00:13:49.000 And we're like, that's right, Phil.

00:13:51.000 That was a really great point.

00:13:52.000 Very, very robotic and stuff.

00:13:53.000 So then the real Phil has to be like, maybe those IRS agents weren't all that bad anyways, because now I've been taken over by an AI. Why would the real Phil have to say that?

00:14:02.000 No, I'm saying because if he tases you and they lock you up and bring the AI in here, then you've got to get free.

00:14:07.000 And they're like, okay, maybe those IRS agents weren't that bad.

00:14:11.000 Sure, they were trying to steal my money, but they weren't trying to lock me in a basement and put an artificial intelligence in my place.

00:14:17.000 Just real quick.

00:14:19.000 We're kind of joking, but this is kind of what Democrats believe.

00:14:25.000 When I see Elon Musk...

00:14:26.000 With a team of government employees going to the IRS, I'm like, oh man, I wonder what kind of waste, fraud, and abuse they're going to find.

00:14:32.000 Democrats are like, he and his team of hackers are going to steal my identity for nefarious purposes.

00:14:38.000 It is the conspiratorial thinking that dark MAGA Elon wants to steal your tax information and identity for some reason.

00:14:47.000 Now look.

00:14:48.000 Maybe he wants to feed it into Grok, and he's like, once I get all of the tax information and data on people, I can make Grok very smart and defeat China. 0.98

00:14:56.000 Maybe, but I really don't think so.

00:14:59.000 I really don't think so.

00:15:01.000 It's kind of a mark as to just how partisan someone is right now because you can talk about the people that are left versus right, but the people in the middle should not be looking at this in any type of negative fashion.

00:15:12.000 And somebody who says that they're either not a Republican or says I'm not a Democrat, if you're a true independent, there's nothing about what Elon Musk is doing right now that could be seen as anything other than awesome.

00:15:24.000 But I'm just surprised by the amount of people that are proving themselves to be kind of ideologically poisoned.

00:15:31.000 Are there people that are politically disconnected that would look at the government and say, No, everything's going great.

00:15:44.000 And I think that if we make it smaller, that'll be a bad thing.

00:15:48.000 And I think everybody pays just about the right amount of taxes.

00:15:52.000 And I think everything's just going swimmingly.

00:15:55.000 Not normal people.

00:15:56.000 I can't...

00:15:57.000 Again, these are people that I cannot...

00:15:59.000 I can't even create this phony person in my mind.

00:16:03.000 Also, it has a lot to do with, like, we talk about the amount of wasteful spending overseas, but it's not just about the amount of money that we're wasting overseas.

00:16:10.000 It's the fact that bad things keep happening here, and they can't ever do anything about it.

00:16:15.000 There's natural disasters every six months, and they're like, whoop, sorry, we have no money for you.

00:16:19.000 If they were taking care of the people here, and there were things being done properly, you could at least understand that somebody who's super statist is like, look, they're taking care of us.

00:16:29.000 Fine.

00:16:30.000 But that's not the truth, and nobody could actually believe that.

00:16:33.000 I'm just going to shout it out right now.

00:16:34.000 We need a producer.

00:16:37.000 So, I don't...

00:16:39.000 Look, I may be the boss, but I have no idea how any of this stuff works at this company.

00:16:44.000 So we really do want to hire someone who can make short films and shows, and we've wanted to for a while.

00:16:50.000 It was like, this conversation has just given me so many ideas.

00:16:52.000 Bro, I really want to make a short film where we make the version of Elon Democrats think he is.

00:16:57.000 Where it's like he steals everyone's information and starts replacing them with robots.

00:17:01.000 That way he can take their tax money.

00:17:03.000 Does he wear Darth Vader outfit or just the Darth Vader mask and the regular clothes?

00:17:06.000 No, no, he's wearing the hat and the jacket.

00:17:08.000 But when he shows up to your house, when he takes the jacket off, it actually doesn't come off.

00:17:12.000 It turns into a cape.

00:17:14.000 And then he's like, I am Dark Maga, and you are now the robot.

00:17:17.000 And you're like, nah!

00:17:18.000 But no, in all seriousness, we want to hire this producer.

00:17:20.000 So if y'all know anybody who makes films and short films, you can figure out how to reach out somewhere.

00:17:26.000 I don't know.

00:17:26.000 Maybe we can have them just tweet at Surge or something.

00:17:28.000 He gave a thumbs up.

00:17:29.000 We're good.

00:17:30.000 He also deactivated his ex account last night.

00:17:33.000 Oh, he got me.

00:17:37.000 Tweet at Brett.

00:17:38.000 No!

00:17:39.000 Send it to Phil.

00:17:40.000 Phil is more active on Twitter than me.

00:17:42.000 I have a lot of followers.

00:17:43.000 I don't have as many as Tim, but I have a lot of followers.

00:17:45.000 There's no guarantee that I'm going to see it.

00:17:47.000 Or Ian.

00:17:49.000 No, you know what?

00:17:50.000 Send it to Raymond G. Stanley because he loves it when people say, tell Tim.

00:17:55.000 Raymond loves that.

00:17:57.000 Send it to Ray.

00:17:58.000 You gotta give them the pitch, too.

00:18:00.000 You gotta give them the pitch of the movie.

00:18:01.000 Wait, isn't there legal concerns there?

00:18:04.000 We're not asking for pitches.

00:18:07.000 Attach a PDF file to the tweet.

00:18:09.000 Just attach a PDF file of your idea.

00:18:12.000 Send it to Raymond G. Stanley.

00:18:14.000 But in all seriousness, we're also doing documentaries, too.

00:18:16.000 So we're not taking pitches for anything.

00:18:18.000 Right now, we're just looking for a single producer and editor.

00:18:21.000 You should send the pitch to Raymond G. No, if you send the pitch, it instantly becomes our property.

00:18:26.000 Oh, never mind.

00:18:27.000 Yeah, don't send pitches.

00:18:28.000 In all seriousness, we tried doing pitches before, but it's not legal.

00:18:32.000 It's not illegal, but it's not legal.

00:18:34.000 Meaning, the reason why no one anywhere will take solicitation is because...

00:18:41.000 If you get 100,000 people to send you a bunch of ideas, if in any way they overlap with yours, it causes a legal conflict of interest.

00:18:48.000 So it's just like, nope.

00:18:49.000 Pitch is all going to garbage.

00:18:51.000 Anyway, what were we talking about? 0.95

00:18:53.000 Elon taking over the world?

00:18:54.000 Is that what it is?

00:18:54.000 Weird people who are now somehow being bullied into pretending like the IRS is a good thing.

00:18:59.000 I don't believe they're being bullied. 1.00

00:19:00.000 I think they're just really, really stupid. 1.00

00:19:02.000 We forget that there's still a contingency of people in the middle of America that have not been red-pilled. 1.00

00:19:09.000 They have not been affected.

00:19:11.000 They are still working side by side, the rest of us, and they're kind of head in the sand.

00:19:17.000 They're well-to-do pseudo-liberals.

00:19:21.000 You're not talking about middle America people who are struggling to get by.

00:19:24.000 You're saying the people who are kind of upper middle class and they trust the system because it's never bothered them.

00:19:30.000 Right.

00:19:30.000 Exactly.

00:19:31.000 I mean, I don't know if those are the people that I imagine are online.

00:19:34.000 Like, that person I imagine is too busy going to work, coming home, and living their life than going on Twitter to argue with somebody about why the IRS is...

00:19:42.000 They don't go to Twitter to argue.

00:19:43.000 They go to Facebook to argue in my township.

00:19:46.000 Yes, they do.

00:19:47.000 Luckily, I have not had a Facebook interview.

00:19:49.000 That's where they're at.

00:19:50.000 Dude, Facebook is where the normies really live.

00:19:54.000 Private groups, right?

00:19:55.000 Private groups.

00:19:56.000 And if you go, like, Springfield, when I went down there, I got in on there.

00:20:00.000 One of their private groups.

00:20:01.000 And it's more like X than most of Facebook.

00:20:03.000 But my township where I live, oh my god, the Karens run the show. 1.00

00:20:08.000 Oof.

00:20:09.000 Well, let's jump to this next story from NPR. Layoffs accelerated federal agencies with more cuts to come.

00:20:16.000 Oh boy, it's not just the IRS. They're coming for everything.

00:20:19.000 The Pentagon and Department of Housing and Urban Development are gearing up for budget cuts and staff reductions while layoffs hit employees.

00:20:24.000 And Department of Agriculture, the CDC... The Environmental Protection Agency, multiple sources told NPR. But wait!

00:20:34.000 Forbes says as 200,000 recent hires could be affected by these layoffs.

00:20:40.000 My understanding was that Trump basically said anybody on probation is fired, right?

00:20:44.000 Oh, they're saying 2,000 probationary employees at the Department of Energy are going to be fired.

00:20:49.000 Yeah, okay.

00:20:49.000 Does that mean recent hires?

00:20:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:52.000 So they're in a probationary period.

00:20:53.000 This is clever.

00:20:54.000 This is clever.

00:20:55.000 Trump's basically saying, who can we fire?

00:20:56.000 And they're like, well...

00:20:57.000 There's no protections for probationary employees.

00:20:59.000 How many are there?

00:21:00.000 200,000? 0.99

00:21:00.000 Axe them all. 0.99

00:21:02.000 Trump is gonna... 0.98

00:21:02.000 Is this the first... 0.98

00:21:03.000 Is this the first time Republicans actually made the government smaller?

00:21:07.000 Mm-hmm.

00:21:07.000 Yeah.

00:21:08.000 I mean...

00:21:10.000 Well, I mean, the first time in my lifetime, you know?

00:21:13.000 Didn't Calvin Coolidge...

00:21:15.000 Silent Cal.

00:21:17.000 Man.

00:21:18.000 Wow.

00:21:19.000 Feels just like yesterday.

00:21:20.000 He's my favorite president.

00:21:22.000 We're going back to the good old, what, 1921. Ugh.

00:21:28.000 1923. Ah, yes.

00:21:30.000 Oh, Calvin Coolidge.

00:21:32.000 Silent Cal.

00:21:34.000 That's why he's called Silent Cal.

00:21:36.000 He was a fairly innocuous president.

00:21:39.000 He did things like allowed the country to kind of do its own thing, and he didn't have the opinion.

00:21:46.000 He let women vote? 0.97

00:21:47.000 Yeah, the federal government didn't need to be involved in everyone's life all the time.

00:21:52.000 Well, I don't know how you reconcile that with him having women vote. 1.00

00:21:56.000 Well, I mean, I don't think that that was actually...

00:21:58.000 It was an amendment.

00:22:00.000 He doesn't have any authority.

00:22:01.000 Oh, okay.

00:22:02.000 There you go.

00:22:03.000 Anyways.

00:22:04.000 He had strong support for women's suffrage.

00:22:07.000 Did he? 0.96

00:22:07.000 Old silent cow. 0.96

00:22:08.000 Yep, so they say.

00:22:10.000 I do imagine that there's at least a contingent on the left that, even if you're not necessarily politically inclined, I imagine there's a lot of women who hear about 200,000 people losing their job, and they just don't like the idea of people losing their job, not realizing that that is your money that's paying for it, or at least not really connecting that those things go hand in hand.

00:22:30.000 I mean, look, there's the idea, and as an abstraction of shrinking the government, most people are like, yeah, I dig it.

00:22:37.000 I like the idea.

00:22:38.000 The idea of making...

00:22:39.000 Cuts to the government as an abstraction?

00:22:41.000 Yes, I like the idea.

00:22:43.000 As soon as you give someone one anecdote of someone hurt because their job was cut when you made those cuts, all bets are off.

00:22:52.000 Whether they actually want to have cuts to the government or not, totally.

00:22:57.000 Oh, well, wait a minute.

00:22:59.000 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:23:00.000 That's why cutting the government is so hard.

00:23:03.000 There's not only are there anecdotes that you're going to hear of people that were hurt because it is going to hurt people's lives.

00:23:10.000 An honest estimation of cuts in the government means that people are going to have to have significant changes in their lives because they're going to have to change their jobs and stuff.

00:23:19.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:23:20.000 And I feel bad because some of these hardworking people in McLean, Virginia are going to have to give up their third summer home.

00:23:26.000 Who was the guy that you had on your show when we were still on TimCast, LFR? LFR Family.

00:23:34.000 He made a post a couple weeks ago, and he said, somebody explain this to me.

00:23:39.000 I get it that the government is spending excessively, but why does my daughter have to lose her grant money that she earned? 1.00

00:23:46.000 And, you know, I sat and thought about it, and I went and did what I do, and I made a meme.

00:23:52.000 And it was a good meme.

00:23:53.000 And I went and I found an old school diagram of someone applying a really bad tourniquet.

00:23:59.000 You know the one that's like a t-shirt and a stick?

00:24:02.000 Oh, I remember this.

00:24:04.000 What Trump is doing is, you know, like you were talking about earlier, ripping the band-aid off and treating the wound.

00:24:09.000 I said to the guy, I said, you know, this is like you complaining about your toe going numb when your femoral artery is bleeding out.

00:24:19.000 Trump is stopping the bleed right now.

00:24:22.000 And so eventually, we might be able to keep that leg.

00:24:26.000 She may still be able to get her grant money out of merit, right?

00:24:30.000 That's the point of all this.

00:24:32.000 Not just that, but you can only imagine what happens if you don't.

00:24:37.000 We haven't gotten to that point yet, but if we do and we default on whatever money or taxes or anything that we bring in, then what happens?

00:24:49.000 We've never been at that point yet, and I think...

00:24:52.000 Well, that's because the Federal Reserve keeps printing.

00:24:55.000 Right.

00:24:55.000 Well, yeah.

00:24:56.000 Oh, man, the system is so...

00:24:58.000 I gotta be honest, I don't even think the government knows how money operates in this country.

00:25:02.000 Most people in the government, I imagine, don't.

00:25:04.000 Yeah.

00:25:07.000 The average person, again, is still under the impression that you get taxed to pay for things for the government.

00:25:15.000 The tax money that you pay, the reason you have to pay the taxes is so that way the government can do things.

00:25:22.000 It's just not how it works.

00:25:23.000 The government prints the money whenever they want to do something.

00:25:28.000 They write a bill that needs funding for it, and the funding is a part of the bill.

00:25:35.000 They're going to authorize the Treasury to print up that money so that way they can do whatever it is that they want to do.

00:25:40.000 That's the way our system works now.

00:25:43.000 Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, there are people that have different opinions on that.

00:25:47.000 But the idea that you need taxation in order to pay for things?

00:25:52.000 No.

00:25:52.000 Taxation is for...

00:25:54.000 There's two reasons they tax.

00:25:55.000 One is so that way there's...

00:25:57.000 There's less money in the system, so that way to manage inflation, and they use two different means to manage inflation.

00:26:06.000 One is taxation, one is the interest rate, and that's all it is.

00:26:10.000 And if you look at what's going on here...

00:26:12.000 Real quick, it's because they spent your money already.

00:26:14.000 Yes.

00:26:15.000 They spend your money through the creation of money, through creating debt on paper, or through just literally signing away debt, and then they're like, we've got to pull more money out because we spent too much.

00:26:27.000 Another thing about this is if you look at the amount of people that are getting laid off, it's kind of like we were talking about before the show about Elon Musk.

00:26:35.000 It might have been...

00:26:35.000 phil when we were on pcc earlier like elon musk goes in and he buys twitter and he fires like almost everybody but it's not like the app stopped working for people and for most of us we understand that despite all of these layoffs it's not going to prevent the government from working at the rate that it's working at now because it already doesn't work efficiently anyways yeah but weaponized empathy is a very very strong motivator when it comes to leftist politics

00:27:01.000 so as far as articles to be written and stories to be told that are going to go a long way and kind of humanizing a lot of these people to people on the left it will work because they're not going to want to see a bunch of people out of the job even if in your pragmatic mind you know that something like this eventually has to happen because something has to give if we want to fix things well look on the bright side all of the deportees that are no longer here there's jobs oh exactly yeah

00:27:28.000 I mean, these people that have been sitting around doing nothing.

00:27:33.000 They now get to learn how to go do a real job, maybe.

00:27:35.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:27:36.000 You know, when Democrats were complaining that if we deport, you know, they came out.

00:27:40.000 It was that Osborne, Kelly Osborne.

00:27:42.000 She was on The View.

00:27:43.000 I think it was The View, right?

00:27:44.000 When she said, you know, who's going to clean your toilet?

00:27:47.000 They were all like, oh, I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:27:49.000 Don't get mad.

00:27:50.000 Don't get mad.

00:27:50.000 It's the former IRS agent.

00:27:52.000 Yes.

00:27:53.000 See, that's why we need this producer so we can make these films.

00:27:57.000 I got a great idea.

00:27:59.000 We say we're hanging out and I look at Phil and I'm like, man, we got some cleaners in here.

00:28:03.000 And then we go on Google with having cleaners and it's like former IRS cleaning service and a bunch of IRS agents come and start mopping my floor.

00:28:09.000 Well, no, no, it's not that.

00:28:11.000 That was in 2016. Now the joke is who will pick the crops.

00:28:17.000 That'd be so funny.

00:28:18.000 A commercial for a farm where it's a bunch of FBI agents picking your crops.

00:28:23.000 We picked your pockets, now we pick your crops.

00:28:26.000 Ooh, there you go.

00:28:28.000 Solid.

00:28:29.000 It's a commercial for the IRS Farm Workers Association.

00:28:35.000 I like the idea of we picked your pockets, now you're going to pick the crops.

00:28:40.000 That's a great, great line.

00:28:43.000 Learns a farm.

00:28:44.000 Learn to farm.

00:28:45.000 It would be solid in a, you know, little 30-second bid or whatever.

00:28:50.000 Look, I mean, the idea that, again, the idea that the average government employee is there for your benefit, they're not.

00:29:01.000 They don't think of your benefit.

00:29:03.000 There are a handful that might think they're doing something altruistic.

00:29:05.000 Most of them think, you know, this is important because my job, because I'm important, not because what I'm doing is important.

00:29:13.000 And they're just looking to pay their bills.

00:29:15.000 They're looking to make sure their kids can get to college.

00:29:17.000 They're looking to be able to get as much as they can for themselves in the time that they're allotted.

00:29:22.000 And then they want to have a pension.

00:29:24.000 And that's what the government offers, really.

00:29:26.000 It offers aid.

00:29:27.000 What they consider a secure job with a good pension and the ability to go up through the ranks, the whole GS, whatever it's called, the structure and stuff.

00:29:43.000 You can get raises, you can get promotions and stuff if you just put your head down, do the job.

00:29:50.000 It's just a job.

00:29:52.000 They're not...

00:29:52.000 The only time they talk about how they're public servants...

00:29:57.000 Is when they're trying to defend their job.

00:29:59.000 And there's nothing wrong with, you know, wanting all those things because we've all been sold that.

00:30:04.000 That's the American dream.

00:30:05.000 You know, do better than your parents did.

00:30:07.000 My kids do better than I am, right?

00:30:11.000 And none of us want these people to not have that opportunity.

00:30:16.000 But let's just be honest about the state of this government and the kind of people they've been hiring in the last decade is how many of them are actually having families.

00:30:24.000 And forwarding society.

00:30:26.000 So they're not really doing the American dream, even though it's their own dream, right?

00:30:32.000 Can't a certain amount, I imagine that a certain amount of the ones, especially if they're high enough up in the government, that they can go work private sector anyways, because that's where a lot of times if you're high enough up in the government, that's your exit strategy anyways.

00:30:44.000 Let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.

00:30:47.000 White House trolls illegal migrants with Valentine's Day card featuring Trump and Homan, we'll deport you.

00:30:53.000 It says the White House, the White House X literally posted this. 0.98

00:30:58.000 It says, roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally and we'll deport you. 1.00

00:31:03.000 And it's angry Trump and Tom Homan on a pink card with hearts in the background.

00:31:08.000 I love this administration.

00:31:10.000 It's a good thing.

00:31:13.000 And there are people that are going to be all upset because it's mean, whatever.

00:31:16.000 But it is a good thing to tell people from other countries it is a bad idea to come to the United States illegally. 1.00

00:31:24.000 Like, that's something that we should all be able to say, yeah, it's a good thing to tell people don't come to the U.S. And it was a bad thing when Joe Biden was like, people should surge the border.

00:31:35.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

00:31:37.000 I don't think we're ever going to...

00:31:38.000 I don't think we're ever going to live through another administration like this.

00:31:41.000 I don't think there is another person that will be able to put together something like this in our lifetime.

00:31:44.000 I don't know.

00:31:45.000 I mean the memetic quality of it.

00:31:47.000 I'm not saying that there can't be somebody who's as effective politically.

00:31:50.000 No, I don't know because this is a symptom of a change in a generation and a culture.

00:31:55.000 They're doing this thing because of the people who work for this administration.

00:31:59.000 This is our generation.

00:32:01.000 We are different from the last.

00:32:02.000 We are not as...

00:32:04.000 I don't know.

00:32:05.000 I guess stodgy and tied to the rules in the same way.

00:32:09.000 There's a bit of irreverence in all of this.

00:32:11.000 So I kind of imagine that moving forward we might still see more of this stuff.

00:32:14.000 It is a good thing that the Republican Party is – has – or at least the MAGA wing of the Republican Party has become actually adversarial.

00:32:25.000 Or has allowed for a representation of the people in a way that is adversarial to the government.

00:32:31.000 I agree.

00:32:32.000 The reason we called it, so many people called it the Uniparty, was because the Democrats and the Republicans were both, at the end of the day, pro-government.

00:32:41.000 The Democrats were pro-whatever the government wanted.

00:32:44.000 The Republicans were pro-90% of what the government wanted.

00:32:48.000 They were a speed bump.

00:32:50.000 We've all heard the meme of, whoa, slow down there, Democrats.

00:32:56.000 The Democrats will get their way.

00:32:59.000 We just can't do it this fast.

00:33:01.000 And that's essentially what the Democrats were.

00:33:04.000 The MAGA Republicans or with the new America First.

00:33:08.000 America First Republicans.

00:33:09.000 There's actual repealing of things, or at least attempts, like real, tangible attempts to shrink the government.

00:33:19.000 Republicans now, they're going to have to look at a Donald Trump presidency, and the American people are going to say, at least the conservatives, the Republicans are going to say, this guy actually made cuts.

00:33:32.000 Are you going to do that?

00:33:33.000 And if they don't do that, there's going to be, there are going to be people that are going to say, look, we're not voting for that guy again because we know that Donald Trump, and it's not about, there are people that are going to hear this and think that I'm saying that Donald Trump is some kind of great guy or whatever.

00:33:49.000 The point isn't that Donald Trump is great.

00:33:51.000 It's that Donald Trump is doing the things that the conservatives have wanted for a long time.

00:33:57.000 Every single conservative has talked about getting rid of the Department of Education.

00:34:01.000 Donald Trump is making actual moves to attempt to get rid of the Department of Education.

00:34:07.000 If there's no more, you can just talk about it and then get the votes and then continue to get the votes.

00:34:13.000 You actually have to do stuff.

00:34:15.000 And Donald Trump is proving that you can.

00:34:17.000 There was a point we talked about like a year ago, Phil, where somebody put something through about dismantling the Department of Education and I rolled my eyes and I said, I hate it because a lot of times it feels like a form of virtue signaling and we know that it's not going to go anywhere.

00:34:33.000 And you said to me, you said, no, it's good because you need to keep the idea alive that people believe that it's possible.

00:34:40.000 You understand that it doesn't necessarily seem that in this moment that's going to happen.

00:34:44.000 I don't remember who it was at that time that did that.

00:34:46.000 But that was just like a year ago, and here we are actually seeing that come forward.

00:34:50.000 And I said, I don't think we'll ever see that in my lifetime, and I was wrong.

00:34:53.000 Well, I mean, I'm thankful.

00:34:55.000 And again, I like the fact that Donald Trump is doing it, but it's not about Donald Trump the guy.

00:35:05.000 Although it might be that Donald Trump is the only guy that could do this, that has the courage to do this.

00:35:10.000 But anyone that would actually go in...

00:35:14.000 And say, I'm going to make these cuts, I would be behind, right?

00:35:18.000 Like, if you've got a guy like Rand Paul, Rand Paul doesn't have the charisma and he's probably not tall enough to ever be the president.

00:35:25.000 But if Rand Paul got in, I would expect him to do these type of things because these are the kind of things that he would have been campaigning on.

00:35:32.000 The reason I supported Rand Paul was because these are the kind of things that he was campaigning on.

00:35:40.000 So, maybe Donald Trump...

00:35:43.000 Whether it be Donald Trump or whether it be someone else, I don't care.

00:35:45.000 But these are the things that I want.

00:35:48.000 And these are the things that I wanted before Donald Trump was ever running for president.

00:35:53.000 Before 2016, I was a libertarian-minded Ron Paul guy that was like, we need to cut the government.

00:35:59.000 The government is too involved in people's lives.

00:36:01.000 And this is a decade ago now, or over a decade ago.

00:36:05.000 And now to see that Donald Trump's delivering the stuff that I've been wanting for the better part of the past.

00:36:16.000 How could I not be happy about it?

00:36:18.000 How could I not support it?

00:36:19.000 This is literally a libertarian's wet dream going on right now.

00:36:23.000 And what Donald Trump is doing is he is doing textbook corporate project management.

00:36:33.000 He's finding the people that can actually do the jobs that are needed to be done.

00:36:38.000 He's bringing them together, getting him in the room, and the liberals on the left have excommunicated their top people.

00:36:47.000 Tulsi, RFK, Elon, they all have their strengths.

00:36:52.000 They all – and so once they've all come together, it's like, oh, I see what he's doing.

00:36:58.000 It is fascinating how Democrats are attacking RFK Jr. There are these – there's a viral thread where they're like, here's a man who was running as a Democrat, then an independent, heavily critical of Trump.

00:37:08.000 And when he tried to join Kamala Harris and got rejected, he went and bowed to Trump and now is some kind of MAGA hero.

00:37:13.000 And I'm like, let's just rephrase that, OK, for you liberals out there.

00:37:19.000 RFK Jr., who does not represent the majority or plurality of conservative right-wing views, decided to aid and assist them against Kamala Harris.

00:37:31.000 Helping Trump to win a victory.

00:37:33.000 Trump rewarded him with a position in health. 0.64

00:37:36.000 Trump supporters are happy he did this because they won, and you're calling them losers.

00:37:41.000 This is why they lose. 0.66

00:37:43.000 They don't understand alliances.

00:37:44.000 They don't understand loyalty.

00:37:46.000 They don't understand honor.

00:37:47.000 Not only that, but they didn't just screw him over once.

00:37:51.000 They screwed him over twice.

00:37:53.000 Not to mention, they...

00:37:57.000 RFK Jr. was friends with a lot of these Democrats. 0.97

00:37:59.000 When it came time to get voted in, they all called him an evil liar charlatan and all these other nonsense things.

00:38:03.000 Also, didn't Bernie then vote against Tulsi? 0.77

00:38:06.000 Indeed.

00:38:06.000 And she endorsed him.

00:38:08.000 She sacrificed her career for him.

00:38:10.000 She gave up her career for him.

00:38:10.000 Look, man, I'm sorry.

00:38:12.000 There are people out there that are like, my family are Democrats.

00:38:15.000 You can't square this.

00:38:16.000 Tulsi Gabbard.

00:38:18.000 She was the darling of the DNC. She was a military.

00:38:22.000 She was active.

00:38:23.000 She was military reserves, I believe.

00:38:25.000 So she's a military, progressive, woman of color, rising star in the Democratic Party.

00:38:32.000 And they said, endorse Hillary.

00:38:33.000 And she said, I think Bernie's the right choice.

00:38:35.000 They went after her in the DNC with pitchforks and torches for having done that. 0.98

00:38:41.000 And they started calling her all these awful names.

00:38:43.000 And boy, did Hillary want to destroy her. 0.58

00:38:46.000 And she did all of that for Bernie, and then when it came time to get a position at DNI, Bernie voted against her because that man has no honor.

00:38:54.000 Like you said, they don't have loyalty to any of the people there.

00:38:58.000 They have loyalty to the party because they're not allowed to think outside of the party anyways.

00:39:02.000 You're not allowed to hold any opinion that goes against what is mainstream DNC. And when she was then pushed back on and when she should have taken – she should have been the heir apparent in a lot of ways.

00:39:14.000 and she destroys Kamala in that first debate back in 2020. 1.00

00:39:18.000 And somehow in 2024, we end up with Kamala running for president and her on the other side. 0.91

00:39:24.000 And anybody with a brain understands that it should have been the other way around.

00:39:29.000 And that clip came back to haunt her so hard.

00:39:32.000 I saw that thing come around.

00:39:34.000 It was like a boomerang.

00:39:36.000 It went around one time, hit her, knocked her off the stage. 0.99

00:39:39.000 A couple years later, she turns back around and hits her on the other side of the head.

00:39:43.000 It's like, yep.

00:39:44.000 I mean, what did she think was going to happen?

00:39:47.000 She literally just was a nobody all the way up to the top that did nothing for anybody.

00:39:53.000 And nobody voted—yeah.

00:39:56.000 Like, nobody voted for—oh, okay.

00:39:58.000 I know that look.

00:40:00.000 You know what's really sad about Bernie Sanders is that he sold his soul for, what, a million bucks?

00:40:06.000 It's like, bro, I mean, come on.

00:40:08.000 You were worth a lot more than that.

00:40:09.000 You could have held out for more money.

00:40:12.000 He was this working-class left populist hero.

00:40:15.000 He makes just over $1 million off a book, and he buys his third summer home, and now all of a sudden he's like, whatever the Democrats say.

00:40:21.000 Uh-huh.

00:40:22.000 I think that he's ideologically possessed personally.

00:40:25.000 Like, I, yeah.

00:40:27.000 No, no, no, no.

00:40:28.000 I do.

00:40:28.000 No, Bernie back in the day was, and then they offered him, you know, the deal, and he took the deal, and I think that proves he's not ideologically possessed at all.

00:40:39.000 AOC is not ideologically possessed either.

00:40:42.000 AOC will say whatever the money tells her to say, as evidenced by, as soon as she got elected, she backtracked on Palestine.

00:40:50.000 Yeah, these people are just kind of like, you mean my, look, I get it.

00:40:56.000 AOC was a bartender.

00:40:57.000 It's an honest job.

00:40:58.000 And she got to be a member of Congress.

00:41:00.000 All of a sudden, people in media were saying, I love your work.

00:41:03.000 You're amazing.

00:41:04.000 And she didn't want to lose that.

00:41:06.000 And Nancy Pelosi and the rest of them come to her and say, you will be a bartender in two years unless you do what we tell you.

00:41:12.000 And she said, please don't take this away from me.

00:41:13.000 I think that she, I think people like AOC and possibly Bernie look, well, Bernie less so. 0.99

00:41:19.000 I think Bernie's a coward at his core.

00:41:21.000 But I think people like AOC, she, I think that the way that they probably presented the situation to her is you can do more. 0.88

00:41:33.000 For more people, in the long run, if you work with us, as opposed to just being like, oh, here, we'll write you a check.

00:41:42.000 I don't think that there was...

00:41:43.000 I think that AOC is young enough and idealistic enough to think, if I stay in Congress and if I get into a position of leadership in Congress, I can make actual, real change, etc., etc.

00:41:58.000 And possibly, I think she might actually have presidential aspirations. 1.00

00:42:02.000 She's also somebody who has come across the aisle to join with things with people like Ted Cruz.

00:42:08.000 Or Matt Gaetz with the stuff on the stock market.

00:42:13.000 Insider trading.

00:42:14.000 I heard the clip of Jon Stewart yes-queening over her for over that. 0.90

00:42:20.000 I heard AOC's pregnant. 1.00

00:42:22.000 She says she's not.

00:42:25.000 That was a few months ago she said she's not.

00:42:28.000 There's a nice way to say she's fat. 1.00

00:42:34.000 Let's jump to this story from Fox News.

00:42:36.000 We have this from Fox.

00:42:38.000 Homan, an AOC clash over a webinar to help immigrants.

00:42:40.000 I'm going to pause your Fox News.

00:42:42.000 It was illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:42:43.000 And evade ICE raids.

00:42:45.000 I thought I educated her.

00:42:47.000 Homan suggested Ocasio-Cortez could be impeding ICE enforcement.

00:42:50.000 I just want to pause real quick for Fox News on this one.

00:42:52.000 It says illegal immigrants right above the headline, and you can click on it.

00:42:56.000 The title just says immigrants, but then it mentions ICE. Why are you conflating the two, Fox?

00:43:02.000 Come on, don't do that.

00:43:03.000 Anyway, the story picked up last night, but it's advanced a little bit as Tom Homan and Eric Adams appeared on Fox.

00:43:09.000 And, well, President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Friday clashed with AOC over a webinar she hosted.

00:43:15.000 Quote, let's pray that she is not educating the next murderer of a young college nursing student on how to evade arrest by ICE. Homan told Fox News on Friday, how many more young women have to be raped, murdered, and burned alive until she wakes up? 0.96

00:43:27.000 Homan had said, at first on the Ingram angle, AOC, then, you know, she put out this tweet saying maybe she's going to be in trouble. 0.52

00:43:45.000 We had to talk about it a little bit the other day.

00:43:46.000 But interestingly, I think the narrative is moving in this direction.

00:43:52.000 I'd like to advance this narrative.

00:43:53.000 This is why we're doing this segment.

00:43:54.000 I want more people asking the question of when does it become illegal?

00:44:00.000 When you are aiding and abetting illegal immigrants. 0.98

00:44:03.000 And perhaps majority of this country would agree.

00:44:05.000 AOC having a webinar about like constitutional rights doesn't meet that criteria.

00:44:10.000 Maybe the average American would be like, I don't know.

00:44:12.000 She's explicitly trying to provide information on how to avoid detection.

00:44:18.000 It's one thing to say, if you are stopped by law enforcement, here are your rights.

00:44:22.000 It's another thing to say, if you go to these locations at this time, if you see people who look like this.

00:44:28.000 That's not about your rights.

00:44:29.000 It's about providing information to allow criminals to evade law enforcement, and you are encouraging them to persist, which is a crime.

00:44:36.000 I want this question asked.

00:44:38.000 You've heard about the cute winter boots, right?

00:44:40.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:41.000 Well, explain it.

00:44:42.000 Explain it.

00:44:42.000 So cute winter boots, this is the code word or phrase that lefties are using to say basically, hey, or it's really icy out today, you know?

00:44:55.000 It's very convenient of them to use that terminology, and that's what they're talking about.

00:45:00.000 And so they're actively plotting to help people that they know are here without proper credentials in the States illegally.

00:45:09.000 And so if you hear somebody in public saying, you know, cute winter boots.

00:45:14.000 It's pretty icy out today.

00:45:16.000 I mean, lately, honestly, where we're from, it has been.

00:45:19.000 But the Cute Winter Boots is a dead giveaway.

00:45:22.000 Right, right.

00:45:22.000 And then on top of that, what happens when the officers are trying to find a certain person and something bad happens because they were tipped off in the beginning?

00:45:32.000 And who's going to be responsible for that?

00:45:36.000 Exactly.

00:45:37.000 Hmm.

00:45:38.000 I've never heard the cute winter boots.

00:45:40.000 Yeah, it's a thing.

00:45:41.000 I keep tabs on Springfield, Ohio.

00:45:44.000 Shout out to you guys down there.

00:45:45.000 They're really trying to turn their town around.

00:45:48.000 When the Trump administration decided that they were going to start talking about, you know, if you're somebody that's in a position of authority of power and you're assisting.

00:45:59.000 With immigrants, illegal immigration, and it's not just if you're a mayor or if you own businesses. 1.00

00:46:07.000 That entire town is on the take.

00:46:10.000 There's an entire pipeline through the NGOs with the Haitians.

00:46:15.000 We had a video.

00:46:17.000 I went and I interviewed a tow truck driver, and it got 50,000 views.

00:46:22.000 It's on our Roma Nation YouTube channel.

00:46:25.000 And this tow truck driver was going on about, because they're rubber stamping at the DMV their licenses.

00:46:32.000 And they're just flipping brand new cars over.

00:46:34.000 Our government has been giving through the temporary protected status.

00:46:39.000 Thousands of thousands of thousands of dollars to these immigrants.

00:46:43.000 And these are people actually here legally because of the temporary protected status, which I think is getting rescinded or they're working on it.

00:46:51.000 So it's kind of messy on that.

00:46:52.000 It's not as easy to deport the Haitians as it is other people that are just here. 1.00

00:46:57.000 Well, now that they got rid of the TPS stuff, huh?

00:46:59.000 I believe so.

00:47:00.000 And so Springfield, Ohio, right now, they're trying to get some of their active citizens, get them on the council of their town so they can push these corrupt people out.

00:47:15.000 So it's churches, it's NGOs, it's the temporary work service.

00:47:25.000 That's doing it.

00:47:27.000 There's like one guy that owns everything in the pipeline.

00:47:32.000 To do it all, to get the money, and the hardest part for them to do is to track the money once it gets to the state level because not every state has the same reporting standards on the money that comes from DHS and CBP and all of that, which is where a lot of that cash is in FEMA because FEMA is under DHS, right?

00:47:54.000 So that is a big mess.

00:47:56.000 And a lot of it's hidden, and it's a huge money laundering scandal.

00:47:59.000 And if Elon's out there listening to this, you need to go to places like Ohio and talk to people, talk to the congressman, get Jim Jordan, whoever it is that's in the place down there in, I think it's Clark County, that district.

00:48:14.000 Talk to them.

00:48:15.000 These guys need help.

00:48:16.000 They need somebody that can really go in there and clean up that town, because it's really destroyed it.

00:48:22.000 You were going to say something.

00:48:24.000 I don't know if you were.

00:48:24.000 Oh, to your point, remember, we were looking at how much money that these towns were actually getting.

00:48:31.000 And I think, what's Springfield?

00:48:33.000 What, 20,000 people?

00:48:34.000 Yeah, it's like 50,000 people.

00:48:36.000 I mean, it's actually a city in decline.

00:48:38.000 A lot of Rust Belt, middle American towns are in a state of population decline since the 70s, 60s, 70s.

00:48:46.000 And Springfield's no different.

00:48:48.000 And the whole point of...

00:48:50.000 Bringing the migrants in there in the first place, if you go back to this, I think this is a magic year, 2014. So we need to figure out what the common thread is with 2014 because that's where all of the pardons start. 1.00

00:49:00.000 That's when a lot of this illegal immigration schemes started in Clark County down there, and they cited population decline in that county.

00:49:08.000 They're like, we need to replace this population to the tune of like 20, 30, 40,000 people, and guess how many people they've imported into that town?

00:49:17.000 Exactly that amount, right?

00:49:21.000 This has been going on for longer than just this last year when Trump was talking about cats and dogs.

00:49:29.000 Well, we've talked about the program to disseminate these people throughout the country.

00:49:34.000 It was run by Health and Human Services.

00:49:36.000 It was called the Refugee Resettlement Program.

00:49:38.000 And the point was, not just for Ohio, but for the country more broadly.

00:49:43.000 And it's something that Musk has talked about.

00:49:45.000 The point was to...

00:49:47.000 Take people that were looking for asylum, basically anyone that came here illegally, just give them the status of asylum seekers and to disperse them through the country so that way they can first, the first thing they want to do is change the census for 2030 because that would hopefully, what they're hoping for, is to change the makeup of the population so that way they can have a more Democrat. 0.81

00:50:16.000 Or the Democrats can have a better chance of winning.

00:50:17.000 And then eventually have these people get amnesty and have them become American citizens.

00:50:22.000 And again, with the goal of having them vote Democrat.

00:50:26.000 The goal was a one-party system here in the United States.

00:50:29.000 And we were very, very close to having that be a result of these policies.

00:50:34.000 And now that we have the revelations from the USAID stuff from Doge, that was all being funded by...

00:50:43.000 The government was spending the American people's money, spending money that they printed up for these programs to affect the political outcomes in the United States.

00:50:52.000 That's entirely illegal.

00:50:55.000 That's completely illegal.

00:50:56.000 That is totally contrary to the whole narrative that the Democrats and the left spin, which is democracy.

00:51:03.000 You know, it's our democracy, our democracy.

00:51:06.000 That's all BS. It was all a lie because they wanted to have a single party rule.

00:51:13.000 And antithetical to what the United States is built on.

00:51:16.000 And let's appeal to the humanitarian side of this.

00:51:21.000 When we're complaining about people being brought here for labor purposes or for being milked for the NGO money, all of that funding, that's human exploitation.

00:51:35.000 They're exploiting people from other countries and bringing them here and just loading them up with welfare money that eventually will dry up. 0.97

00:51:44.000 It'll get revoked.

00:51:45.000 And what happens then when you bring people to a country from a country – to a nice country from a country that has been destroyed systematically and through natural disasters like Haiti where they have diametrically opposed cultures. 0.75

00:51:59.000 They're not brought here to assimilate. 0.96

00:52:01.000 Like, Tim, I remember when you were over in Northern Europe, and you went into those ghettos, right? 1.00

00:52:06.000 Or what they called the no-go zones, right?

00:52:08.000 Oh, yeah.

00:52:09.000 Where they had generations of people that came in that were not properly assimilated.

00:52:13.000 That conversation you had in the bar with those guys, and I think it was one guy was from Germany there, that was really eye-opening.

00:52:20.000 That's the very same thing we see in Springfield or in other parts around the country is where they brought here under pretenses of, oh, these are people we want to help them.

00:52:29.000 Yes, they come from places that were torn or natural disaster torn, but then they're being exploited, which is horrific.

00:52:39.000 Yeah, I mean, it's a really bad situation for all involved when it comes to the stuff at the illegalities that have been going on around the border.

00:52:52.000 What I guess they don't care to understand or just don't understand is it's a generational problem.

00:52:57.000 And one of the stories we got out of Sweden was in the city of Södertälje.

00:53:02.000 There were the children of migrants who are now adults in a car with a guy standing up in the sunroof, opening fire with an automatic weapon on a bank.

00:53:12.000 And these are the 20-year results of bringing in people and not providing. 0.99

00:53:22.000 The problem is Swedes are all incredibly racist. 1.00

00:53:28.000 And so when the government was trying to do this either economic thing or this like, look how noble we are thing. 0.96

00:53:35.000 We're not racist.

00:53:36.000 They're very racist.

00:53:37.000 They ended up bringing in a bunch of people from Somalia who, when these people tried to get jobs, could not. 0.85

00:53:44.000 Because the white Swedes didn't want to hire them.

00:53:46.000 And it's really funny how hoity-toity and progressive they claim to be.

00:53:50.000 And so what happens is these Somali refugees form enclaves in parts of the country where they all start moving around each other because that's the only way they could work and provide for each other because they were largely being dismissed.

00:54:02.000 They have children who grow up in a Somali refugee enclave.

00:54:06.000 These children are Swedish, but...

00:54:09.000 They're not from Somalia, and white Swedes call them Somalis.

00:54:13.000 Yeah, they're Swedish by nationality, but the Swedes, like, the Swedish people have been the Swedish people for a long time, and the nationality of those people, it's part of their culture and stuff.

00:54:27.000 It's who they are.

00:54:28.000 Like, in the United States, we can get away with that kind of stuff because we don't have the same kind of deep roots.

00:54:35.000 Swedes have been there for a thousand years.

00:54:38.000 So I'll put it this way.

00:54:40.000 We don't got to call them racists.

00:54:41.000 We can just say multiculturalism does not work the way these transnational, I love that word, interest groups think it will. 0.97

00:54:50.000 And so they decide to bring...

00:54:53.000 Large portions of Somali individuals and drop them in Sweden. 0.98

00:54:56.000 And what did they find?

00:54:57.000 It completely did not work.

00:54:59.000 Their cultural values were different.

00:55:01.000 Swedish people did not tolerate Somali refugees.

00:55:03.000 And it exacerbated this problem until we ended up with stories in the past decade or so.

00:55:11.000 When I went to Sweden over this story with Trump, only a couple of months before we got there, Someone, for no reason, threw a grenade onto a balcony where there was an 8-year-old British child who was on vacation with the family and he got injured.

00:55:26.000 I don't know exactly how severe the injury was, but it was a serious attack.

00:55:31.000 Grenade attacks happening.

00:55:33.000 I think Sweden has more grenade attacks than most other countries that are not at war.

00:55:37.000 I think the stat was Sweden has more grenade attacks than any other country that is considered in peace.

00:55:46.000 Grenade attacks.

00:55:47.000 That's so wild.

00:55:47.000 It's because the gangs were buying old grenades from the Balkans wars or whatever and then using them in their conflicts.

00:55:54.000 So the issue is largely...

00:55:56.000 You cannot take two entirely different cultures and then mash them into each other. 0.92

00:56:01.000 Right.

00:56:01.000 You'll get conflict.

00:56:02.000 We don't want the conflict, but this is what's been happening.

00:56:03.000 That's the other concern in Springfield is that because of the temporary protected status, I went around to some – and I should have been – I should have did a video on it.

00:56:13.000 I did go around to some of the gun shops because there was an interview with a girl who – Allegedly worked for a big-box store that sells firearms, and she was saying that because of their protected status, they could go in and just buy guns because they were here legally.

00:56:33.000 So they are not – because they had paperwork and everything.

00:56:36.000 I don't know how it works, but she said it was working that way, and I went around and I asked a couple of stores, and one guy was really terse with me.

00:56:45.000 We made friends after a while and got talking, and I bought some ammo from him.

00:56:48.000 But he was saying, look, if you can fill out this form, and he had a secondary form, he's like, you check this out, and at the bottom it says, if any of this, and it's basically a condensed.44-73, but he says, if you fail that check...

00:57:05.000 I keep your money.

00:57:06.000 You pay me up front.

00:57:08.000 If you fail the background check, I keep it.

00:57:10.000 I keep the gun, everything, and you're out of my shop.

00:57:12.000 So he's very serious about it, but he said, look, I have people that come in here all the time.

00:57:18.000 They pass it.

00:57:18.000 They're fine.

00:57:19.000 Really?

00:57:20.000 Yes.

00:57:20.000 That's, I mean, according to, I'm just Googling the, you doing the AI search, but according to the Brave AI, it says that Ohio residents must be U.S. citizens to legally purchase firearms.

00:57:33.000 Yes.

00:57:34.000 Not that they're going to check.

00:57:35.000 Okay, so here's- Someone shows up with a driver's license and does a background check.

00:57:38.000 I've never been citizenship tested.

00:57:40.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:57:42.000 Big box stores go by nationwide standards, right?

00:57:50.000 This is federal law.

00:57:52.000 Yes.

00:57:53.000 Federal law says that you have to be a citizen.

00:57:56.000 You have to be a citizen?

00:57:57.000 That's what it's saying here.

00:57:58.000 Then somebody's breaking the law because I talked to both the big box store guys and I played a little game.

00:58:06.000 We have a friend of ours that lives in Ireland and I was like, hey, a buddy of mine wants to come in and go hunting.

00:58:11.000 And so I gave him a scenario.

00:58:12.000 I was like, but he's a little bit...

00:58:14.000 He's sketched about our process.

00:58:16.000 He wants to know how everything is.

00:58:17.000 And the guy told me straight up he has to have legal residency as a citizen.

00:58:23.000 He doesn't have to be – he didn't say citizenship.

00:58:25.000 He said residency if he wants to come in and buy his own firearm.

00:58:29.000 So there's something with the TPS, something about residency.

00:58:33.000 If you're saying citizen, I'm not saying you're wrong.

00:58:35.000 I just know what I heard when I talked to these FFLs.

00:58:38.000 So the local FFLs said, look, if you're not in Ohio – I've also heard

00:59:09.000 stories that he owns a helicopter.

00:59:11.000 Good for him. 0.99

00:59:12.000 Bill Burr doesn't want to eat the rich, but he does want to kill them. 1.00

00:59:14.000 The community went off on billionaires in a recent podcast episode, comparing them to rabid dogs who need to be put down. 0.97

00:59:21.000 He made the comments on his Monday morning podcast, blaming billionaires for dividing the country, hoarding all the wealth and creating a situation where working people can't afford rent and need two jobs just to stay afloat. 0.97

00:59:30.000 Bill Burr, of course, is one of the most deeply troubled and ignorant individuals in media. 1.00

00:59:35.000 He may have a funny presentation, but boy, is this guy dumb. 1.00

00:59:37.000 Yeah, he is one of the stupidest people I've ever had the displeasure of listening to, except that he makes funny jokes. 1.00

00:59:41.000 Those are OK. 1.00

00:59:42.000 He says that the widening wealth gap in America is bad for this country because parents have to work so much they'll never get to see their kids.

00:59:48.000 And the ramifications are dire.

00:59:50.000 For Bill, all of these problems can be traced back to greedy billionaires who want to divide and conquer.

00:59:54.000 If Bill had an IQ that was in the triple digits, perhaps he would understand that makes literally no sense.

00:59:59.000 But, hey, he's a comedian, not a rocket scientist.

01:00:01.000 We were talking about this a little bit today on PCC.

01:00:03.000 You should listen to our episode today because Phil absolutely went off it.

01:00:06.000 It was fantastic.

01:00:07.000 Yeah, I mean, it's frustrating because...

01:00:09.000 The people that Bill thinks that he's being compassionate about, those people look at billionaires and they look at Bill and they think they're both rich.

01:00:23.000 And so this class warfare that he's fomenting, the people that he thinks he's on the side of...

01:00:34.000 We'll eat him, too.

01:00:36.000 It's not that, though. 1.00

01:00:37.000 It's that Bill's just genuinely stupid. 1.00

01:00:39.000 Because, like, any honest assessment of the current cultural divide in this country does not lead you to conclude that billionaires are all conspiring to make it happen. 1.00

01:00:48.000 This is what I can't...

01:00:49.000 I tell you, my friends, you know what I can't stand?

01:00:51.000 You got people on the Internet, and they're like, Z-Juice! 1.00

01:00:54.000 all the time.

01:00:55.000 And I'm like, guys, it's not one group doing anything.

01:00:57.000 And they go, yes, it is.

01:00:58.000 Then you get...

01:00:59.000 The woke, saying it's the white privilege, the white colonial.

01:01:03.000 No, it's not.

01:01:04.000 It's not one group.

01:01:05.000 There's disparate special interests that have amassed power in a variety of different ways.

01:01:09.000 Sometimes they collude together, but they are all in different areas. 1.00

01:01:13.000 People like Bill Burr are just as stupid as the anti-Semitic people and just as stupid as the woke people who hate white people and the colonialism people. 1.00

01:01:23.000 I've long said... 1.00

01:01:24.000 If you want to figure out which conspiracy cult to exist in, just figure out which group you hate the most.

01:01:29.000 If it's the 1%, you can hang out with Occupy Wall Street and people like Bill Burr.

01:01:32.000 If you're an anti-Semite, there's a group of white nationalist anti-Semites that are waiting for you. 0.87

01:01:36.000 You can blame, if you hate white people or if you hate cis heteronormative patriarchy, that group exists.

01:01:42.000 All of these groups want to put the entirety of all blame in a single group of people.

01:01:48.000 And it doesn't actually play out their way.

01:01:50.000 If Bill Burr took 10 seconds to even Google search how basic economics worked, he'd be like, oh, that makes literally no sense that I just said that.

01:01:58.000 He says in the clip, he says that there's so much being produced in this country and there's so much money being made in this country that it's abhorrent that all of this stuff is happening.

01:02:06.000 I said, well, that may be true.

01:02:08.000 Amazon may be making billions upon billions of dollars every year, but what you should be asking the question is, is why are you on your income not able to make a living and then wonder why you're being taxed so much and so little of that money is coming back to you in a way that's actually effective?

01:02:23.000 The picture is very, very massive.

01:02:26.000 But the idea that he is literally stating that the billionaires all get together and go, shall we have the rebel fight each other?

01:02:34.000 Liberal and conservative!

01:02:36.000 It's not happening at all.

01:02:37.000 You got billionaires that are pro-Trump.

01:02:39.000 You got billionaires that are anti-Trump.

01:02:41.000 Sometimes the billionaires switch their positions.

01:02:43.000 They are not fomenting or doing any kind of crackpot conspiracy.

01:02:46.000 Half of them don't even understand politics.

01:02:48.000 Zuckerberg doesn't know or care about politics.

01:02:50.000 He's just milling about whatever the CIA tells them to do.

01:02:53.000 Well, and most of them, anyways, as you know, if you look at any of these companies, granted, we're seeing a large shift right now in policies from, like, tech companies that are seeming to move slightly the other direction as the pendulum swings.

01:03:05.000 But it's not like they ever...

01:03:07.000 They gave to both parties, assuming that they're going to try and get favors in return by giving to both of them.

01:03:13.000 But when he talks about all of this, he's talking about as if there's three or four people that are causing all of these problems.

01:03:19.000 It's just far more complicated than that.

01:03:21.000 Yeah, it's the same thing when they talk about taxes, too.

01:03:23.000 It's like, oh, well, they need to pay their fair share, but yet their best option would be for you to pay less taxes rather than that guy pay more.

01:03:30.000 Exactly.

01:03:31.000 If the idea here is that you feel wrong done by, it's not that you want this other guy to be as wrong done by as you were.

01:03:38.000 The idea is that they should do less to you and less to him as well.

01:03:42.000 They should take less of your money and less of his money rather than trying to take more of his money to even out the score so that you feel as if both of you got screwed equally.

01:03:51.000 He says it himself that he thinks it's a zero-sum game.

01:03:55.000 The reason you're poor is because of someone else.

01:03:57.000 It's really easy to convince people that are struggling that it's someone else's fault.

01:04:02.000 Just like Tim was saying, you can find someone to blame very easily.

01:04:06.000 And that's all Bill's doing.

01:04:08.000 He's just catering to the inclination, the people that already have an inclination to hate the rich.

01:04:18.000 The thing that he's missing is he's the rich, too.

01:04:21.000 The people that are billionaires, like we were talking about this morning, Elon Musk employs a lot of people at Tesla and SpaceX and all of the companies he owns.

01:04:31.000 And Bezos employs a lot of people at Amazon.

01:04:35.000 And the Walton family, they employ a lot of people at Walmart.

01:04:41.000 All of those companies, or those three companies, make life possible for...

01:04:47.000 Thousands of Americans.

01:04:48.000 Probably tens of thousands.

01:04:49.000 What if you want to talk about, like, if he was more in-depth, he's like, what if we're talking about the people at BlackRock buying up all of the homes so that people don't have access to housing and then driving up the rent?

01:04:59.000 There's a conversation to be had there, but he's not going to go that in-depth.

01:05:02.000 That's the board, but the people that own BlackRock are like...

01:05:06.000 Everybody that owns some kind of 401k, everybody that has their savings in the stock market, you know, if you own just the Dow, you know, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, you can buy that itself as a stock, then you own a piece of BlackRock.

01:05:20.000 And if you own BlackRock stock, you own all this.

01:05:23.000 So you're right, it's not as simple as just these guys are the bad guys.

01:05:28.000 And they've turned billionaire with a B, like capital letter B, into a slur in a way, which is like, and it's so funny because we started with Bernie.

01:05:35.000 The CEO that he killed was worth about $40 million.

01:06:01.000 Rumor has it that Crystal Ball is also worth $40 million.

01:06:05.000 The amount of money of $40 million, it's a lot of money.

01:06:09.000 Real quick, what day did this podcast come out?

01:06:12.000 It was on Monday.

01:06:14.000 We talked about it today, but the clip was just making the rounds.

01:06:17.000 The point is, $40 million, whereas it's a lot of money, it's a very, very, very long way away from a billion.

01:06:26.000 And the guy that Luigi killed...

01:06:29.000 Had $40 million.

01:06:30.000 If you foment this kind of class warfare, if you're into that, Bill Burr, they're going to come for you.

01:06:39.000 So I just have a question, a genuine question on your guys' opinion, and the audience, feel free, I'll ask you guys this.

01:06:45.000 Bill Burr's podcast, I was curious, I mean, this is incitement to violence?

01:06:50.000 I mean, I didn't know what to put for the thumbnail, because it's like, is what he's doing actually inciting violence?

01:06:55.000 It absolutely is.

01:06:56.000 So the principal rule, as someone who works in media and podcasting with a particularly large show, is that you cannot direct people to commit harm against another group of people.

01:07:04.000 It may not cross into illegal territory.

01:07:09.000 What would make something illegal is to direct a specific action.

01:07:12.000 So if you said, I think this group of people, something should happen to it, like Bill Burr did, that's not illegal, but it violates every terms of service of every podcast platform.

01:07:24.000 In this regard...

01:07:26.000 I looked up his podcast.

01:07:27.000 It has not been removed from, I believe, anywhere.

01:07:30.000 And not only that, he has two large sponsors.

01:07:32.000 I'm not in the business of trying to create...

01:07:35.000 Well, I don't know.

01:07:35.000 This is the question.

01:07:37.000 Do we believe it appropriate, based on this man going on his show and saying that a class of individuals should be murdered, how do we feel about...

01:07:47.000 How do I phrase this?

01:07:49.000 The left has no problem and had no problem for a very long time of attacking the advertiser and attacking the platform to get people that were their ideological opponents removed.

01:07:58.000 How do we feel about that right now?

01:08:00.000 Should we shout out the sponsors for sponsoring this show and saying they should pull their ads from his show the same way they did to us?

01:08:07.000 Or should we say Bill Burr should be allowed to advocate for this murder and we're going to stand back and let him do it?

01:08:11.000 Here's what I think.

01:08:12.000 I think we need to go back to just ignoring people that have an IQ lower than room temperature. 0.80

01:08:18.000 Well, I mean, that doesn't really – I never really fall – yeah.

01:08:21.000 So just back to the question.

01:08:22.000 I mean do you guys – I'm genuinely curious what y'all think.

01:08:25.000 But that's what I'm getting at is like there was a time before cancel culture where people who had dumb opinions, we just said, whatever, he's saying a thing over there.

01:08:33.000 Right, so the question then is not do we ignore it or I suppose you can say that that would fall into the just let him advocate for this murder and we're not going to be involved in it.

01:08:45.000 I mean, we're not.

01:08:46.000 We're actually advocating for the opposite.

01:08:48.000 Here we're calling it out.

01:08:49.000 We're like, look, look at every side of this and look at what it's been.

01:08:52.000 We're actually giving it some air and some discussion.

01:08:56.000 I think that's really what it needs.

01:08:58.000 Put a one in the chat if we should engage in cancel culture and put a two in the chat if we should let Bill Burr call for whatever he wants to call for and just let him mind his own business.

01:09:08.000 I admit it sincerely.

01:09:09.000 I'm not saying – that's why I didn't name the sponsors or mention which platform or anything like that.

01:09:12.000 And this language that you're hearing right now, not just what he's saying but the othering of people that are more successful than you are is rampant in a lot of corners of the internet right now and in America in general.

01:09:24.000 And he is, in a way, his talk about the degradation of the middle class is...

01:09:29.000 I'm indicative of that mindset now, where when I look at this, I see there is a difference between the type of person who sees this person who's more successful than they are and sees them as somebody who has created something that they too can achieve and somebody who sees somebody who has created something that they just feel nothing but envy for.

01:09:48.000 And you tend to find that the people who take the mindset that those who are more successful than me...

01:09:55.000 Are somehow harming others have a very, very negative or sometimes violent mindset, and that is becoming more and more common these days because of ideas like eat the rich.

01:10:06.000 Well, here's a question.

01:10:07.000 It's looking, sorry, a little split, but it seems to be leaning towards he should be canceled.

01:10:12.000 So I'm doing a hard poll right now.

01:10:16.000 71%, 72% say we should call out his sponsors and his platform.

01:10:21.000 So I'll let that one ruminate, as it were.

01:10:24.000 But make your point.

01:10:24.000 We'll see where we go.

01:10:25.000 No, no.

01:10:25.000 What I was going to say is, go back 20 years ago.

01:10:28.000 So Bill Burr from 20 years ago.

01:10:30.000 Would he be advocating for the same thing 20 years ago when he didn't have his fortune now?

01:10:35.000 Or would it be different?

01:10:37.000 I think he'd largely say a lot of the same things.

01:10:41.000 I feel like he's just going to say what he thinks will catch him the biggest market share.

01:10:46.000 Like there's no reason to go on a show and advocate for something like this unless you're looking at a target market that shares the opinion.

01:10:52.000 He also had the opinions recently.

01:10:55.000 He was on like one of the late night shows and claimed that people – he basically had the greatest straw man argument to the wildfires saying that people were saying that they were doing a bad job and making people seem like they were stupid for saying that things were going wrong when there was no water in the tanks.

01:11:12.000 Right?

01:11:12.000 So, low info.

01:11:14.000 Wow, I mean, it's 71% with 1,300 votes.

01:11:18.000 Call out his sponsors and the platform.

01:11:20.000 29% say leave him alone.

01:11:21.000 I will say, though, there is something to be said for cancel culture when it's done right.

01:11:27.000 Like, a lot of people, what we came through was unreasonable.

01:11:32.000 We wanted to have conversations about things that we found to be distasteful.

01:11:37.000 Through all the transing and all of that. 0.99

01:11:39.000 And right now, in the gaming...

01:11:41.000 Some of our friends, It's Based, shout out to It's Based, they're another group, they're a group that actually came out of your Discord as well.

01:11:50.000 Their guy is over in, I think it's actually Sweden, is where he's based out of, but most of his devs are here.

01:11:56.000 And their whole campaign right now is this...

01:12:00.000 Is this what gamers want?

01:12:01.000 And they're actively calling out gaming companies and some tech companies in the Linux realm for pushing trans stuff and saying, dude, get away from all of this. 0.97

01:12:11.000 I think we should cancel Bill Burr.

01:12:16.000 We should boycott.

01:12:17.000 And I'll tell you why.

01:12:18.000 You make a good point about the scale of things.

01:12:22.000 They're going to come out and they're going to be like, I thought you guys were for free speech and blah, blah, blah.

01:12:25.000 Actually, we were always against calling for death and violence.

01:12:29.000 Particularly when it came to, say, like, Twitter and their gendering policies. 1.00

01:12:33.000 Megan Murphy said, men aren't women, though. 1.00

01:12:36.000 That's the quote.

01:12:36.000 And they banned her permanently for having said that.

01:12:40.000 That's an opinion statement.

01:12:42.000 She didn't call for violence.

01:12:44.000 She didn't threaten anybody.

01:12:44.000 She didn't insult anybody.

01:12:45.000 She was having a conversation with someone.

01:12:47.000 Remember when Zuby got suspended for saying, okay, dude?

01:12:51.000 Yeah.

01:12:51.000 Was that what he said?

01:12:52.000 He said, okay, dude?

01:12:52.000 Yeah.

01:12:53.000 He wasn't misgendering anybody.

01:12:56.000 Someone...

01:12:56.000 Snarkily responded to him, so he was like, okay, dude.

01:12:59.000 It's like a whatever.

01:13:00.000 And they suspended him for it, so he made the t-shirts.

01:13:02.000 That's what we opposed. 0.58

01:13:04.000 Bill Burr has sponsors on this podcast where he's saying people should die.

01:13:10.000 And not just that. 0.96

01:13:11.000 He's saying they need to be put down.

01:13:14.000 That's what he's saying.

01:13:15.000 That is not creating an imminent threat, so it's not illegal.

01:13:19.000 But he's not just saying...

01:13:21.000 You know, when I opened the show, I said, it's not that he wants them to die.

01:13:24.000 He wants them to not be alive anymore.

01:13:26.000 That's a joke from Family Guy.

01:13:27.000 Quite literally, he stated in his show, he wants people to take an action against them.

01:13:32.000 And I think what has happened is we've gotten away from rule of law.

01:13:37.000 And this stuff is illegal.

01:13:40.000 I remember back when, and you just had Milo on, I personally can't stand three minutes.

01:13:46.000 He just takes everything over.

01:13:47.000 But when he was novel and kind of a provocateur and the Berkeley riots came around, there was a female professor who actively called for burning that place down before he came on.

01:14:01.000 And I remember Glenn Beck talking about saying, look, that's textbook definition of terrorism because you're advocating for political gain at, you know, at the with violence.

01:14:12.000 So I'm reading the comments on his podcast and.

01:14:16.000 It's funny how there are a lot of people, one of them says, we need 300 more Luigis.

01:14:20.000 There's people saying, like, Trump is racist. 0.99

01:14:23.000 Here's a guy going on a show and saying, billionaires are dividing people, so then he calls for harm against them, and his commenters are all saying, yeah, screw Trump, F these people. 0.98

01:14:31.000 I'm like, Bill, if you want to figure out who's dividing people, it's you.

01:14:34.000 It's you, okay?

01:14:34.000 But let's be real, everybody bears some responsibility for having ideological opponents.

01:14:39.000 But you crossed the line.

01:14:41.000 You crossed the line.

01:14:42.000 So, you know, if people want, I can mention who his sponsors are.

01:14:44.000 I don't know if we want to do that, though.

01:14:46.000 I mean, people can figure it out, but I do think it's worth reminding everyone.

01:14:51.000 You mentioned Luigi.

01:14:52.000 He's saying, get those billionaires in the context of just a couple months ago, there was a dude killed because he was a rich guy.

01:15:03.000 It needs to stop.

01:15:04.000 This stuff is real, and more people are going to take action.

01:15:10.000 Things like Bill Burr doing this.

01:15:12.000 This is a far, far more dangerous call to action than anything anyone on the right has done.

01:15:21.000 And it continues to happen on the left.

01:15:24.000 People were saying, do something about Trump, do something about Trump, do something about Trump, and then during the...

01:15:32.000 There were two attempts on his life.

01:15:35.000 The CEO from the healthcare company, health insurance company, he got killed. 0.99

01:15:40.000 And now dumbass Bill Burr is out here saying this stuff. 0.98

01:15:44.000 He absolutely should be taken off the air. 0.99

01:15:47.000 He absolutely should lose his podcast.

01:15:50.000 There should be actual repercussions for him saying that because of the things that we've seen.

01:15:56.000 The right doesn't go after the left. 1.00

01:15:59.000 And what happens is the left becomes empowered to continue to do this shit. 1.00

01:16:06.000 And in another level of stupidity, they will get done just after saying that he is right in this context. 1.00

01:16:11.000 They will then go and say, and you're wrong for firing IRS workers and trying to save money. 1.00

01:16:18.000 So, everybody's stupid all around. 0.99

01:16:21.000 Yes, I don't think that there is any argument against. 1.00

01:16:26.000 Bill Burr seeing actual tangible repercussions from this.

01:16:29.000 He should lose his podcast.

01:16:31.000 His podcast should be taken off the air for calling for the death of people.

01:16:36.000 The last episode is not on Apple.

01:16:38.000 That's interesting.

01:16:39.000 Yeah, it is on Spotify, though.

01:16:41.000 And Spotify does not have a report function, at least as far as I can see.

01:16:45.000 I mean, if you even were to dance around those kind of things...

01:16:51.000 And you are on...

01:16:53.000 If we say the wrong thing on this podcast, the show gets taken off the air and YouTube will be on the phone with Tim and he'll get a strike.

01:17:05.000 Oh, wait.

01:17:05.000 Sorry, sorry.

01:17:05.000 I was wrong.

01:17:06.000 I found it.

01:17:07.000 It's there.

01:17:08.000 There are certain things that we have to be very, very careful.

01:17:12.000 There are jokes and memes that we cannot say.

01:17:15.000 That I'm not going to say.

01:17:18.000 And they're just memes.

01:17:20.000 They are just jokes.

01:17:21.000 But if you say them, the show will be taken off the air and we're likely to get a strike.

01:17:27.000 The fact that Bill Burr can say they need to be taken out.

01:17:30.000 Well, not on Rumble.

01:17:32.000 I'll tell you what they are when we switch over to the Rumble.

01:17:35.000 Oh, not on Fridays.

01:17:37.000 But the point is, there are memes and jokes that...

01:17:43.000 Are all over X all the time, but you can't say them on YouTube because YouTube will take them off.

01:17:49.000 Bill Burr says they need to be taken out or whatever the actual phrasing was, and he gets to have his podcast?

01:17:56.000 In the context of people are dying because the left is attacking people?

01:18:01.000 I'll tell you what we can do.

01:18:03.000 We can do more than just a boycott.

01:18:05.000 When these similar sponsors reach out to us, we'll be like...

01:18:08.000 You guys sponsor a show where a guy is calling for his fans to go and murder people.

01:18:12.000 That's Bill Burr.

01:18:13.000 I don't know that we want to be associated with your brand.

01:18:15.000 Yeah.

01:18:16.000 I mean, sincerely.

01:18:17.000 I mean, that's what we're doing with the woke and the transing and things. 0.75

01:18:22.000 We're calling them out for it.

01:18:23.000 Absolutely.

01:18:24.000 I mean, Bud Light is still reeling because of the Dylan Mulvaney stuff.

01:18:28.000 Was it Bill Burr that said free Luigi?

01:18:31.000 I'm almost positive that he did say that.

01:18:33.000 Yes.

01:18:34.000 He said that on, was it Kimmel or whatever?

01:18:36.000 So what's funny about that is, think about that.

01:18:38.000 So he's talking about billionaires.

01:18:40.000 Fine, let's ignore that.

01:18:41.000 You said that the reported net worth for him was like $10 million.

01:18:45.000 No, for the UHC. The CEO. The CEO is like $40 million.

01:18:52.000 And Bill Burr was worth $10 million?

01:18:54.000 If you Google it, some say $10, some say $20.

01:18:56.000 Okay, so Bill Burr is worth just $20 million less than this guy who he said was totally okay with being taken out.

01:19:03.000 That's insane.

01:19:05.000 It's insane.

01:19:06.000 It's absolutely insane.

01:19:07.000 I'll be honest.

01:19:08.000 These net worth trackers are totally incorrect.

01:19:11.000 I'm just saying.

01:19:11.000 He's like, look, this guy says that this dude worth $40 million is totally...

01:19:17.000 It's fine that this dude went and killed this guy, but you're saying that as a dude who's worth half of that dude's money?

01:19:24.000 That's playing it close, dude. 1.00

01:19:26.000 Are you insane? 0.99

01:19:28.000 He should absolutely be taken up. 0.98

01:19:31.000 Because, okay, that dude works in healthcare.

01:19:33.000 You don't.

01:19:34.000 You're an entertainer.

01:19:34.000 Eventually, anytime something goes wrong, they're going to say, why don't you donate to this cause?

01:19:39.000 Eventually, they're going to say, well, you're not donating enough.

01:19:41.000 You're not giving enough money to us.

01:19:43.000 You need to fall in line or you're going to meet the same fate as somebody like that.

01:19:47.000 You don't want to piss these people off.

01:19:49.000 One of our people, Libertarian Goth, super chatted.

01:19:53.000 Oh, tell her today.

01:20:08.000 The idea that it's okay for one side to do it and it's not okay for the other side, that needs to end.

01:20:13.000 That needs to end, and it needs to end now. 1.00

01:20:16.000 I just think he's an idiot who's advocating against his own self-interest. 0.99

01:20:19.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the point that I was making in the beginning, but sincerely, like, he is putting... 1.00

01:20:24.000 Everybody that is in a position that to someone else looks wealthy, right?

01:20:32.000 If you're a dude that's low income, right?

01:20:36.000 That makes $30,000, $40,000 a year and you're scraping by, right?

01:20:41.000 Someone that makes $150,000, $200,000 a year, they look rich to you.

01:20:46.000 They look rich to you.

01:20:47.000 They may not look opulent, and they may not have jewels all over the place, and maybe you don't know the difference between...

01:20:56.000 $100 jeans and $500 jeans.

01:20:59.000 But to the guy that pays $20 for his jeans at Walmart, you're rich.

01:21:05.000 And you're gonna pay if he's pissed off. 0.99

01:21:09.000 That's exactly how this class warfare shit always goes. 0.99

01:21:14.000 Well, think about this. 0.99

01:21:15.000 Okay, so he's...

01:21:16.000 He's saying that Luigi should be freed for killing a dude who worked for UnitedHealthcare.

01:21:21.000 This guy makes $40 million, works for a billion-dollar company.

01:21:24.000 While Bill Burr is worth $20 million, works for Disney on Star Wars.

01:21:29.000 While Disney has protesters outside of their most recent movie for Captain America with people saying that Disney commits genocide because they had an Israeli actress in the film.

01:21:38.000 Is it really that hard to believe that some...

01:21:41.000 Angry, angry person wouldn't see that as nearly the same thing. 1.00

01:21:45.000 Bill, you dumb son of a bitch, they're gonna come get you too. 1.00

01:21:49.000 Absolute idiocy. 1.00

01:21:51.000 It's a matter of time. 1.00

01:21:52.000 Yeah, I mean, it's infuriating to hear him say that kind of stuff, because again, it is, like Tim was saying, it is just complete and total idiocy. 1.00

01:22:04.000 It's the guy that has like an IQ, room temperature IQ, because again... 0.99

01:22:10.000 The thing that really upsets people isn't poverty.

01:22:15.000 It's relative poverty.

01:22:18.000 Income inequality pisses people off.

01:22:21.000 So when there's someone that can't pay their bills and they're always struggling and they look and they see people that drive a decent looking car that doesn't have any rust on it a year, two years old, they see a rich guy.

01:22:35.000 It doesn't matter that you're like, well, you know, I only make, you know, I only make, you know, 250,000 a year.

01:22:41.000 I only make 500,000 a year.

01:22:43.000 I'm not even a millionaire.

01:22:44.000 I don't have multiple millions.

01:22:46.000 I got a little nest egg. 1.00

01:22:48.000 They don't give a shit. 1.00

01:22:50.000 All they see is a rich guy. 1.00

01:22:52.000 You stupid son of a bitch. 1.00

01:22:54.000 They don't know what... 1.00

01:22:56.000 Your average Antifa, leftist, whatever, they don't know what the concept of rich is.

01:23:01.000 They don't.

01:23:02.000 They think someone making 100,000 a year is probably rich.

01:23:04.000 And then some of them are trust fund kids, and they go, I'm not rich.

01:23:06.000 My family's only worth 20 million.

01:23:08.000 You know, and it's one of those things like, AK and I, we have basically the same family makeup.

01:23:16.000 Not to talk about money, but he makes a lot more money than I do.

01:23:20.000 However, he lives over in a place where the cost of living is much higher.

01:23:25.000 Our margins are basically the same.

01:23:28.000 We stress out at the same time of the month.

01:23:30.000 We stress out over the same things.

01:23:33.000 You know, he just has more of the same things to stress out about.

01:23:36.000 And I'm okay with that because it's not my thing to stress out about.

01:23:39.000 But that's the thing is, like, people who, when you get so far down, though, it's like, I wish I had something to stress about.

01:23:45.000 I wish I had, you know, a little bit of that, you know?

01:23:49.000 So when we're talking about Rise of Middle America podcast, those are the people we're talking about that are ready to break.

01:23:54.000 They want to hear you.

01:23:55.000 They want to hear somebody that they can relate to.

01:23:58.000 That's why we're voting for guys like Donald Trump that are out here saying, yep.

01:24:02.000 Send the doge in.

01:24:03.000 Let's go.

01:24:04.000 Let's tear it up.

01:24:06.000 Let's get the money back.

01:24:07.000 Let's stop taking 20, 30, 40 percent of average people's income and stripping it from the local level.

01:24:13.000 That's why your roads are unkept.

01:24:15.000 That's why you've got two seasons in Ohio.

01:24:20.000 It's winter and construction because in the winter, the potholes are full of ice.

01:24:25.000 You know, that's the thing.

01:24:26.000 If that 40-some percent of income was not being taken away, if I didn't have to work two days out of every week just to pay the government, even though I'm probably at the last year I'm going to get a tax return, but it's like, you know, that money would be there.

01:24:43.000 That money would be there for my local government.

01:24:46.000 I don't mind taxes.

01:24:48.000 As long as they're going where they're supposed to.

01:24:50.000 If it's my local government that's saying, hey, we're actually going to fix that road that busted your ball joint.

01:24:58.000 That thing that cost you an extra $400 that's also the equivalent of the tax for your property.

01:25:05.000 Yeah, we're actually going to fix that.

01:25:07.000 And if it actually got fixed and it stayed fixed and the roads got better, I don't know if anybody sat in a township meeting or a city council meeting.

01:25:16.000 Asphalt is not cheap.

01:25:19.000 Holy mackerel.

01:25:20.000 Ask anybody who's open to business.

01:25:22.000 Bro.

01:25:23.000 When you guys came in, all that blacktop we put in, it was all dirt before. 0.92

01:25:30.000 It was a lot of money.

01:25:31.000 Do you have to do it?

01:25:32.000 And the crazy thing is, when we're getting that stuff installed...

01:25:36.000 They ask you how many inches of base layer, how much do you want to be able to withstand?

01:25:41.000 Big trucks can't go on that thing. 1.00

01:25:42.000 That's for cars.

01:25:43.000 And it was a lot of money, and we were like, we're going to go the cheaper route.

01:25:46.000 It could be like 50 grand or more for a driveway or a parking lot.

01:25:52.000 Not that I'm asking, but the slab for this place, just the concrete that you laid down in here, had to be astronomical.

01:26:00.000 I think the slab we got...

01:26:04.000 I could be totally wrong.

01:26:05.000 Was it like maybe $150,000 to $200,000?

01:26:08.000 I was going to say it's six figures, I'm sure.

01:26:10.000 Yeah, I could be wrong, but it's wild.

01:26:15.000 I wanted it to be bigger, but they're like...

01:26:19.000 The thing about exponential area size is like...

01:26:26.000 When you're talking to them and you're like, how much for a five foot by five foot slab?

01:26:30.000 And they're like, a hundred bucks.

01:26:31.000 You're like, wow, how much for a 50 by 50 then?

01:26:34.000 Is it times 10?

01:26:35.000 They're like, no, it's exponentially more.

01:26:36.000 You're squaring it.

01:26:38.000 So that one's going to cost you $75,000.

01:26:41.000 You're like, oh.

01:26:41.000 And the other issue with local governments and taxes and stuff, where I am in a township has just, a lot of times you have people that are very, like Ohio has a very independent voter base.

01:26:56.000 They're very libertarian, especially where I am.

01:26:58.000 And when you're talking about the expensive taxes with your local councilmen or your township people, especially townships, they don't have a lot of money.

01:27:07.000 They don't have the ability to actually tax on income.

01:27:09.000 They get a very little bit.

01:27:10.000 They get slices off of state tax.

01:27:14.000 And if you want… If you want your local governments to be better, if you want them to be accountable, you kind of got to go down to your local township meetings.

01:27:23.000 You actually have to meet people.

01:27:24.000 You have to talk to people.

01:27:26.000 And the problem in our township is they're too libertarian for their own good.

01:27:30.000 They don't want to be a part of the larger city populace and get annexed because they like some of the freedoms.

01:27:35.000 They like being considered county.

01:27:38.000 Right?

01:27:39.000 But they don't – but all they want to do is sit on Facebook and complain about the township and not having the roads done or this, that, or the other.

01:27:46.000 It's like, well, then you get out here and you come down to these meetings and listen to them and talk with people.

01:27:52.000 They need to be involved.

01:27:54.000 Yeah.

01:27:54.000 I mean the average person is in a position where they're – They're struggling.

01:28:00.000 The cost of living has skyrocketed in the past four years.

01:28:04.000 And there's a lot of people that are angry about it.

01:28:07.000 But it's not because of Sam Walton.

01:28:11.000 It's not because of Elon Musk.

01:28:13.000 It's not because of Jeff Bezos.

01:28:15.000 And Jeff Bezos, regardless of your politics, it's not because of Bill Gates.

01:28:20.000 It's not because of these billionaires.

01:28:22.000 They do not have any effect on your life.

01:28:26.000 Elon Musk...

01:28:28.000 If Elon Musk is having an effect on your life, it's because of stuff at Doge.

01:28:32.000 Other than that, they don't affect your life.

01:28:34.000 It doesn't matter how much money Zuckerberg has.

01:28:36.000 These people, having a lot does not mean you have less.

01:28:41.000 Especially if you're working a regular job trying to pay your bills, you're probably dependent on a billionaire or a millionaire because that's the guy that owns the company you work for.

01:28:55.000 And without millionaires and billionaires that own the companies, I mean, look, your average dude that, or not average dude, but the average car dealership, like an actual, like a Buick dealership or a Ford dealership, those guys, that guy's probably a millionaire.

01:29:12.000 You know, he's probably got a couple million.

01:29:14.000 Because it's expensive as hell.

01:29:17.000 To own a car dealership.

01:29:18.000 And it all gets reinvested back in the business.

01:29:20.000 It probably does.

01:29:21.000 But if you look at his wealth on paper, he's a millionaire.

01:29:24.000 He probably has the same kind of money worries that most of us in here do.

01:29:30.000 But he's a millionaire.

01:29:32.000 He's got a car dealer.

01:29:34.000 Maybe he's got two car dealerships.

01:29:35.000 There's a trick in cold reading.

01:29:38.000 You guys know what cold reading is?

01:29:39.000 No.

01:29:39.000 And there's people like, I'm a psychic and I'm gonna...

01:29:41.000 And then they go like, I'm thinking of a person whose name is a...

01:29:47.000 And then this is a person who goes, Bill!

01:29:49.000 It's like, that's right, Bill.

01:29:50.000 Bill's in the room with me right now.

01:29:52.000 One of the tricks in cold reading is to say something like, don't worry about the money.

01:29:58.000 Always say that.

01:30:00.000 So, you know, a lot of these people who claim to be psychic are talking to deceased loved ones or something like this.

01:30:06.000 They'll try and get information off of you or get you to give the information to convince you that they're talking to your grandfather, whatever.

01:30:13.000 And then one of the most common things is they'll go, he's saying something about the money, that there's something wrong.

01:30:19.000 Well, literally every person on the planet has something going on with money.

01:30:23.000 It's a function of life.

01:30:25.000 It's like saying something is nearby water, because literally everything's by a body of water somewhere.

01:30:30.000 Yep, yep, there's those tricks you can do.

01:30:32.000 It's those TBN false prophets, the televangelists, you know?

01:30:36.000 Exactly, and you can say something like, he's saying something about, you used to go to a body of water, and they're like, we'd go to the river and go fishing.

01:30:45.000 I live by a lake.

01:30:46.000 Right, right, right.

01:30:47.000 When from Minnesota, there was 10,000 of them there, so I was bound to be by a lake at some point.

01:30:51.000 I wonder if there's like a manual for that.

01:30:53.000 Well, there's a TV show called The Mentalist, which you should watch, which is about a guy who used to fake being a psychic and then gives it up to go help the cops.

01:31:02.000 What?

01:31:03.000 The Mentalist.

01:31:04.000 It's literally about that.

01:31:05.000 He used to fake being a psychic and then...

01:31:07.000 I thought that was psych.

01:31:08.000 No, that too.

01:31:09.000 They're on the same premise, but backwards.

01:31:12.000 One's comedy and one's not?

01:31:13.000 Yeah, the other one's more of a drama.

01:31:15.000 Yeah.

01:31:16.000 Who's in that?

01:31:18.000 Actor-wise, Simon Baker and Robin Tooney.

01:31:21.000 No, I don't.

01:31:22.000 Empire Records.

01:31:23.000 No, I don't know.

01:31:24.000 I'm not all that hip.

01:31:27.000 It went off the air in 2015. Episodic TV is not my jam, generally.

01:31:32.000 Bill Burr is the guy who went on Joe Rogan and was like, Joe, I turn the news on once every two weeks and do what they tell me to do.

01:31:39.000 And it's just like, that's a terrible way to live, bro.

01:31:43.000 If you live by that standard, you're drinking coffee one week and then you're doing coffee enemas the next and then you're swearing off coffee a week after that.

01:31:50.000 When I was a kid, there was a famous Moment in news where, like, one week, they were like, a new report suggests this one special drink may cause cancer.

01:31:59.000 And it was like a big deal that everyone was saying coffee could be causing cancer.

01:32:02.000 And then a week later, they were like, could coffee prevent cancer? 0.98

01:32:05.000 And it's just like, oh, shut up!

01:32:09.000 It's just two separate studies that they decide to make content out of. 0.96

01:32:12.000 They're looking for news, like, slow news day, let's go with the coffee and mix cancer or whatever.

01:32:15.000 And it's like, you can find whatever you want, that's what the media does, and Bill Burr is the guy who has no idea what he's talking about.

01:32:20.000 He's worse than Bill Barr.

01:32:21.000 I mean...

01:32:23.000 Bill Maher, sorry.

01:32:24.000 Oh, wow.

01:32:25.000 He's worse than Bill Barr, to be fair.

01:32:28.000 I mean, he is worse, but...

01:32:30.000 I'm not wrong.

01:32:30.000 I mean, again, in the climate that we're in, with the amount of political violence that's been going on, from the left, directed towards the right...

01:32:41.000 Or at least directed towards targets the left considers the right.

01:32:45.000 Because I don't even know what the politics of the CEO was.

01:32:49.000 Maybe he was a fairly left-leaning Democrat guy.

01:32:52.000 Maybe he wasn't a right-leaning dude at all.

01:32:55.000 But the point is, those are the targets that the left targets.

01:32:59.000 They target people that are in...

01:33:00.000 Obviously, they target Donald Trump.

01:33:02.000 And then they target the rich people.

01:33:04.000 Luigi went after him specifically because he was a rich guy.

01:33:10.000 A well-off family, though, didn't he?

01:33:13.000 I mean, champagne socialist is a phrase for a reason.

01:33:17.000 Yeah, and the left is primed.

01:33:20.000 They're primed for this kind of lone wolf, let me go out there and be the martyr kind of stuff.

01:33:26.000 We've seen it.

01:33:27.000 This isn't the first one where this has happened.

01:33:29.000 And after progressive decades...

01:33:34.000 People who are weak-minded, weak-willed, and don't have personal identities.

01:33:39.000 People I grew up with in high school, I remember when it was the South Park joke of the nonconformists. 0.98

01:33:46.000 They all looked the same.

01:33:47.000 They all talked the same.

01:33:49.000 The goths, they were like, yeah, that's so not goth or whatever it was.

01:33:53.000 Those are the same kind of people.

01:33:55.000 The joke in my circles was that the goth kids that we hung out with, the emo kids, just traded in all their black for plaid, became the hipster, the leftist hipsters.

01:34:06.000 And it went on and on and on, and then they traded eventually their genitals in some cases. 0.68

01:34:12.000 And it's like those are the people now that when they think – Trump is literally Hitler and that Elon Musk is the next Goebbels or whatever.

01:34:23.000 These people live in a fantasy world.

01:34:25.000 They don't live in a normal frame of mind.

01:34:28.000 They're primed for this kind of stuff.

01:34:30.000 Thomas Matthew Crooks.

01:34:31.000 Matthew Crooks.

01:34:32.000 Same thing.

01:34:33.000 Nobody knows where he came from.

01:34:35.000 His mom and dad were actually mental health...

01:34:42.000 We're going to be going to Super Chats, but I have to read just one quick more headline because, my friends, it's happening.

01:34:49.000 Americans on food stamps could be banned from buying bad food and sugary drinks, Trump USDA chief says.

01:34:56.000 I knew it.

01:34:57.000 I ordered all that Taco Bell the other day.

01:34:59.000 You didn't say that, too.

01:35:01.000 It's starting.

01:35:02.000 That's why I ordered a thousand Pop-Tarts.

01:35:04.000 Is it shelf-stable?

01:35:05.000 Because they're decently shelf-stable.

01:35:08.000 Because, you know, now that RFK Jr. is in, no more McDonald's?

01:35:12.000 No more cheeseburgers?

01:35:13.000 Nope.

01:35:13.000 You're not getting that Taco Bell from my cold, dead hands, my friend.

01:35:17.000 We will keep it.

01:35:18.000 Have you guys seen G Prime 85's new comic?

01:35:22.000 Dude.

01:35:23.000 With the beets? 1.00

01:35:25.000 I had the double take because I thought he was holding a set of testicles. 0.99

01:35:28.000 It was like, what is that? 0.98

01:35:31.000 I don't think that your Taco Bell is in any danger because the point is it's only talking about people that are not paying for their own.

01:35:41.000 That might radicalize the left even more than anything, taking away the snap benefit. 0.93

01:35:47.000 This is too good.

01:35:49.000 I love the idea.

01:35:50.000 Shout out to George Alexopoulos.

01:35:52.000 Follow at GPrime85 on X. It's a young boy with some heart candy, and he says, will you be my valentine?

01:35:59.000 I got you some hearts.

01:36:00.000 And then it's RFK Jr. judo chopping the candy, and it's, wait, kids, don't eat those.

01:36:05.000 They contain red 40. That dye can cause cancer.

01:36:09.000 Exchange these healthy red beets instead.

01:36:12.000 And then he's giving a salute as the kids hold beets.

01:36:15.000 I mean, look, man.

01:36:16.000 And RFK's all ripped.

01:36:17.000 I don't know if you know it or not, but you can actually use beets as a sweetener.

01:36:22.000 When you buy white sugar, it's usually beet sugar.

01:36:25.000 Yeah, people think it's cane sugar.

01:36:27.000 If you buy cane sugar, you bought cane sugar, but a lot of refined sugar is just from sugar beets.

01:36:32.000 Dude, pickled eggs and pickled beets are a staple around my place.

01:36:36.000 G-Prime always makes the best comics.

01:36:39.000 It's like, this is not, it's family friendly.

01:36:42.000 He's just literally taking candy and giving them beets.

01:36:44.000 It's great.

01:36:45.000 G-Prime actually was a part of its base game jam this last round.

01:36:49.000 Look at how he drew the veins on RFK Jr.'s arms.

01:36:55.000 That's so good.

01:36:56.000 Jacked.

01:36:57.000 He's just judo chopping.

01:37:00.000 I am pro aspirational stuff.

01:37:06.000 More attention should be given to people in good shape and less attention should be given to people that are too fat to ride in Ubers and the like.

01:37:15.000 I mean, look at what happened with Lizzo.

01:37:17.000 Good for her.

01:37:19.000 Exactly.

01:37:21.000 I'm pro-Lizzo losing weight now.

01:37:24.000 I mean, it's great.

01:37:25.000 You know those videos people make where it's like one person films them walking and they say, I'm insert group.

01:37:29.000 We do this.

01:37:30.000 And then they switch.

01:37:31.000 There's one from morbidly obese people and they're like, we're plus-size travelers.

01:37:35.000 People think we shouldn't have a right to travel. 0.98

01:37:37.000 And it's like, no, no, shut your mouth.

01:37:39.000 No one is saying you have no right to travel.

01:37:40.000 We're saying you're too big.

01:37:42.000 And it's like, it's not a disability.

01:37:43.000 It's a life choice.

01:37:44.000 I got no problem.

01:37:45.000 Eat whatever you want.

01:37:46.000 I'll deep fry a Twinkie for you if you buy it off me.

01:37:49.000 That just means, with that choice, you're buying two seats.

01:37:52.000 Ain't nobody mad about it.

01:37:53.000 Just buy two seats.

01:37:53.000 Right.

01:37:54.000 Or travel by foot, and then you can order one seat once in a while.

01:37:57.000 Sorry, Dank Demos.

01:37:58.000 You need to get Uber XL. Yep.

01:38:01.000 Well, Uber XL is very comfortable.

01:38:03.000 You know what I mean?

01:38:03.000 All right, we're going to Super Chat, so smash that like button.

01:38:40.000 Let's grab your superchats we got.

01:38:41.000 Kyle says, can we please start using the resources we have in Alaska instead of relying on other countries?

01:38:46.000 We have 775 million pounds of cobalt and very large oil reserves that are just sitting there.

01:38:52.000 I think we should invade Alaska.

01:38:54.000 There's an interesting thing I learned about what's happening in Alaska.

01:38:57.000 You know, we're talking about all of these programs that are DEI that are getting stripped out.

01:39:04.000 I believe it was Weinstein.

01:39:06.000 Alex Weinstein was on Joe Rogan talking about how we need to be careful about some of these programs that existed pre-DEI because there's one specifically there that is to gain access to legitimately disadvantaged people and vets and whatnot to the industry.

01:39:27.000 So when it comes to all of that, now you have big corporations that are just money-hungry.

01:39:33.000 We have to watch out for the weaponized confirmation bias, right?

01:39:37.000 Yeah, let's just cut everything down, and we don't stop to go, well, let's see how many of these programs are legitimate, and if they are being a bit discriminatory, if they're doing more good than harm, let's actually fix them instead, because now you have people in Alaska who generally benefit from these programs, are being targeted by big corporations.

01:39:57.000 So let's ask the question sometimes before we just say...

01:40:00.000 Get rid of it.

01:40:01.000 All right, Big G says, So, this morning on the culture war, Myron Gaines was of the position that men should never show emotion in front of their women, girlfriend or wife.

01:40:19.000 I believe it's incorrect.

01:40:20.000 And, you know, I was talking to my wife about this, and my attitude was like, I gotta be honest.

01:40:28.000 Everybody agrees if you're a man who cries in front of anyone over something nonsensical like you got yelled at at work, no one's going to respect that.

01:40:35.000 And to be honest, if a woman was crying because her boss was mean to her, most guys wouldn't respect that.

01:40:40.000 But I also kind of feel like if you're a dude who is scared about what other people might think of you if you show your emotions, I think that's weaker than just crying.

01:40:48.000 So that's why my position is guys can cry if they feel they have to, and there's reasonable times you can cry.

01:40:57.000 I describe it as, yeah, if a dude came back from work and he was like, my boss was made to be in front of him, you'd be like, geez, calm down.

01:41:04.000 But if a dude watched, like, his dog die or his son die or something, and he's standing there at a funeral crying, no one's going to assume he's weak.

01:41:12.000 In fact, I actually describe it like this.

01:41:15.000 If you walked up to a man who was crying because his son died, and he was with his wife, and you chuckled and said, this guy's such a weak... 1.00

01:41:22.000 Pussy. 1.00

01:41:22.000 He'd probably rip your esophagus out and beat you with it. 1.00

01:41:28.000 That guy crying is not weak. 0.99

01:41:30.000 That's a terrifying...

01:41:31.000 That is rage and pain liquefied in that man's face.

01:41:35.000 People cry for different reasons.

01:41:36.000 Women cry when they're happy. 1.00

01:41:38.000 And they cry when they're sad.

01:41:39.000 Men cry when they're extremely angry and feeling deep negative emotions, which could be sad and rage combined.

01:41:45.000 So just, you know, you shouldn't lump it all into one thing, you know what I'm saying?

01:41:49.000 Perfect example in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood in the first few episodes, Mustang, when they're at the funeral.

01:41:55.000 After the homunculus kills his partner and he's standing there and he says it's a terrible day for rain to his partner.

01:42:04.000 And she's like, but it's not raining.

01:42:05.000 And then he puts his hat on and it teardrops.

01:42:07.000 It's like that's the epitome.

01:42:09.000 It's the anime rivers.

01:42:10.000 Right.

01:42:11.000 That's the epitome of men in the moment just leaking out that pain and trying to force it into a place where it's appropriate.

01:42:20.000 But just to clarify the difference of like...

01:42:22.000 A guy who's crying over a spilled glass of milk and a man whose best friend died in front of him.

01:42:27.000 I would warn any person to, like, assume that man is weak because in that moment of blind rage, you end up with stories where, like, that dude's son was raped and he went to the airport when they were doing the transport and he put a bullet in that guy's head.

01:42:41.000 That guy's a hero.

01:42:43.000 Well, I don't condone vigilante violence because the problem with it is the same as the death penalty.

01:42:47.000 Like, sometimes people get things wrong, and when you advocate for action like that, what happens when you're like, oops, an innocent person just lost their life?

01:42:55.000 So, that being said, we'll grab some more Super Chats.

01:42:58.000 All right, we got Jason Dixon, who says, Tim, I have a great guest suggestion, or wait, you have him on your show already.

01:43:05.000 Great job.

01:43:06.000 Shout out to Roman Nation. 1.00

01:43:08.000 All right, so I'm going to read, let's see, we've got one, two, three, four, five, six, and we've got a bunch of superchats I want to read.

01:43:13.000 Jason Dixon superchats, Roman Nation, Roman Nation, Roman Nation, Roman Nation.

01:43:17.000 Very interesting.

01:43:19.000 Jason Dixon also superchatted, Roman Nation, Roman Nation, Roman Nation.

01:43:23.000 So he superchatted, I believe, eight times, and seven of them are just saying Roman Nation four times.

01:43:30.000 And then you have stickers.

01:43:31.000 Yes.

01:43:32.000 I'm thinking about actually figuring out how to get these in our merch.

01:43:36.000 It's a stylized heart with wings that says Jason Dixon on it, like you would put My Heart Mom.

01:43:44.000 And I've made these at home.

01:43:47.000 These are like your home craft versions of them.

01:43:48.000 I'm leaving them here for Tim, but I think we should have some official ones.

01:43:52.000 We'll work on that.

01:43:53.000 Jason Dixon super chatted again.

01:43:54.000 I've got a fever and the only prescription is more Roman nation. 1.00

01:44:02.000 Oh, this guy is fun.

01:44:03.000 I love him, man.

01:44:04.000 He's a good dude.

01:44:05.000 Shout out Jason.

01:44:07.000 Kevin White says, Graphene.

01:44:10.000 Well, Ian's not here.

01:44:12.000 Okay.

01:44:13.000 Jason Dixon with another Super Chat.

01:44:15.000 He's going off.

01:44:16.000 Oh, man.

01:44:17.000 He says, if you wish to network and find like-minded people, join Timcast.com, join the Discord and community, network, and become the next Roman nation.

01:44:26.000 I mean, it's really amazing.

01:44:28.000 I mean, this is what we were hoping to accomplish by, you know, with Timcast.com, we're trying to find ways to make it extremely valuable to be a member.

01:44:35.000 But the one thing we always talk about is community is the most important thing.

01:44:38.000 Like I say, founding fathers met in bars and pubs, shared these ideas.

01:44:42.000 That's why free speech is so important.

01:44:44.000 When we lost the church, that was where people met once a week to share those cultural ideas.

01:44:49.000 I said, we should do these coffee shops so that you have a place where you know if you go to hang out, there's going to be like-minded individuals because they know what Cast Brew is.

01:44:57.000 And then we were like, we'll start off with the Discord server.

01:45:00.000 I was kind of reluctant to even do something like that, but after a conversation, we were like, let's make it work.

01:45:07.000 If we get some good moderation in there, make a community.

01:45:10.000 Ideally, people will meet each other.

01:45:13.000 I'll tell you why I don't like remote work.

01:45:16.000 Somebody will be in the kitchen, and I'll walk in, and then I'll say something like, you know, oh, have you ever put butter on a Pop-Tart?

01:45:24.000 I was watching Family Guy, and they'll be like, Special Mike goes, do we have a toaster?

01:45:28.000 And I was like, we don't have a toaster.

01:45:30.000 So now we're buying a toaster.

01:45:31.000 Raymond was like, here's some toasters.

01:45:33.000 That spontaneous interaction brought to the point we actually need a toaster, something that wouldn't have happened if that interaction didn't occur.

01:45:42.000 And oftentimes, ideas in businesses are born just through people communicating with each other.

01:45:48.000 So if you have millions of people watching Timcast IRL, but they're all in their little spaces, nothing can happen.

01:45:55.000 We made the Discord server.

01:45:56.000 We said everyone should go into it because now people are going to be constantly spreading those ideas.

01:46:01.000 They are now instantly connected.

01:46:02.000 And if one person says, I have a toaster, and one person says, I have a Pop-Tart, and one person says, I have butter, you now have the makings of three people making a video where they put butter on Pop-Tarts.

01:46:12.000 And now it never would have happened without it.

01:46:14.000 That's basically our crew.

01:46:15.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:46:16.000 Dang! 0.99

01:46:16.000 Yeah, not only that, but that's exactly how I came up with the idea of this show. 0.99

01:46:21.000 Myself and Taylor, Taylor's actually one of the hosts of Sunset Rants, which is one of my other shows right there.

01:46:28.000 And we were sitting down and just talking about the world and how it is now, and it was right after the Biden election.

01:46:35.000 And I felt bad because a lot of people don't get hurt, or they don't get the proper information that they need because it's either extreme on one side or extreme on the other.

01:46:47.000 So what I said was, well, why isn't there some rise of the middle?

01:46:51.000 Ding!

01:46:52.000 And that was like the moment.

01:46:54.000 I was like, oh my god.

01:46:55.000 And then Roma, Rise of Middle America, it just fit like a glove. 1.00

01:46:58.000 It's got a good ring to it, you know what I mean?

01:47:00.000 It sounds like it's already one of the world's biggest podcasts.

01:47:03.000 Like, it's one of those...

01:47:05.000 Is it really?

01:47:05.000 It's a brand name.

01:47:07.000 It really is.

01:47:07.000 I'll take that.

01:47:08.000 It's a really good brand name.

01:47:09.000 I love it.

01:47:10.000 As a marketing guy, I'll tell you.

01:47:12.000 When you go to people and if you say something like Romination, like, it's smooth off the tongue. 0.84

01:47:17.000 It's a good brand.

01:47:19.000 It's like Mug Club.

01:47:20.000 Yeah, the first...

01:47:22.000 If you say that brand to people, they're going to assume it's already a big show.

01:47:25.000 It's a good brand name.

01:47:26.000 One of the hardest things to accomplish is a good name of a good product.

01:47:29.000 People rack their brain.

01:47:31.000 They have the auto-name generators for people who can't figure things out.

01:47:36.000 So you've got a good thing going.

01:47:37.000 But anyway, I digress.

01:47:38.000 The point of the Discord was to do that, and it succeeded wildly.

01:47:41.000 And we're looking at ways to expand it.

01:47:44.000 As I mentioned, I'm really excited for this.

01:47:46.000 I say it a million times.

01:47:46.000 The Culture War Show.

01:47:47.000 We definitely got to have you guys on it.

01:47:49.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:47:50.000 The point of the Culture War Show is...

01:47:53.000 Members can attend.

01:47:54.000 Members can submit talking points for the debate subject.

01:47:57.000 And then we bring up like 10 people throughout the debate from the members to join us in the debate.

01:48:02.000 And I think it'd be really amazing if we get like some like liberal personality and a conservative personality.

01:48:07.000 And then the members can actually come up and sit down alongside insert liberal or conservative and get to debate them.

01:48:13.000 And that's that's your moment.

01:48:15.000 Some people are gonna have really terrible ideas.

01:48:17.000 Some people are going to be really smart and they're going to be like, where can they follow you?

01:48:20.000 And they're going to be like, my X account is this.

01:48:21.000 And they're going to jump 10,000 followers overnight.

01:48:23.000 So we're hoping to make like an incubator of cultural ideas and debate that isn't just built upon people who are good at marketing.

01:48:32.000 The reality of most people in the space is that they're good marketers.

01:48:36.000 They know how to get attention.

01:48:38.000 But it doesn't mean they're the smartest people in the room.

01:48:40.000 Engagement farming?

01:48:41.000 A lot of people, you know, but the key component to anyone who succeeds in any media space as an independent is they're, to a certain degree, good at marketing.

01:48:50.000 Whether it's really, really good or just kind of okay, they have that element on their team that can do that marketing, right?

01:48:57.000 And don't get me wrong, YouTube falsely props up some political factions, if you know what I mean, but...

01:49:03.000 All right, let's grab some more Super Chats while we're here, and we'll grab some Rumble Rants while we're here as well.

01:49:10.000 Doxing Debo says, do illegal criminal aliens have constitutional rights?

01:49:13.000 To a certain degree, yes, they do.

01:49:15.000 He says, I thought the Constitution was written for Americans, so why are we having webinars for illegals? 0.86

01:49:20.000 Indeed, it was not.

01:49:21.000 The Constitution was, but the Bill of Rights put restrictions on the government that applies to anyone.

01:49:27.000 So it is true, if you are in this country, as a human being, for any reason, at any point, the reason why constitutional rights will apply to you as well is...

01:49:37.000 The government does not have the ability to determine whether or not you are or are not a citizen.

01:49:43.000 If we told police you are allowed to infringe upon the rights of illegal aliens or if we said illegal immigrants have no rights.

01:49:52.000 OK, what happens then is a cop can walk up to you and say, I'm going to assume you're not a citizen.

01:49:58.000 Therefore, I'm now allowed to detain and deport you or arrest you.

01:50:01.000 And it's like, no, no, no, no, no.

01:50:02.000 I'm an American citizen.

01:50:03.000 OK, prove it.

01:50:04.000 Fine.

01:50:04.000 I will.

01:50:05.000 Hold on.

01:50:06.000 You have no—you have a Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

01:50:11.000 If you want to be protected under the Fourth, that means illegal immigrants are as well because the police aren't allowed to search you for no reason. 0.81

01:50:20.000 So that's just the way it's going to work.

01:50:22.000 Now, I don't think they should be buying guns because they're criminals and there should be restrictions in that regard, despite the fact I think self-defense is a human right.

01:50:28.000 But there's complicated discussions to be had there.

01:50:31.000 I mean, look, the Constitution lays out the powers that the government has, but the Bill of Rights is a list of no's.

01:50:37.000 So anything that the government's not allowed to do to American citizens, it is going to have to be that it's not allowed to do to non-US citizens, at least if they're inside the United States. 0.57

01:50:49.000 There have been arguments about what the government's allowed to do and isn't allowed to do outside the borders of the US, but inside the US, if you are a human being in the US... The government has to abide by those rules because it's a list of no's for the government, not a list of no's for people.

01:51:05.000 It's a due process.

01:51:06.000 It's incumbent upon the government to prove that somebody is here illegally.

01:51:12.000 If I looked like somebody that shouldn't be here and they detained me and they're like, we're pretty sure this guy goes with the rest of them, it's on them to prove that.

01:51:21.000 I should be able to present my documentation, obviously, but at least there should be a process for that to happen for me to defend myself regardless of my known state of citizenship.

01:51:32.000 There is also a reality in this in that if the police suspect you are committing a crime, they can detain you.

01:51:39.000 Right.

01:51:39.000 So if there is reasonable suspicion that you are an illegal immigrant, they can stop you.

01:51:44.000 And if you happen to be an American citizen, they're allowed to do that.

01:51:46.000 I do think that's totally reasonable.

01:51:49.000 Fourth Amendment is unreasonable search and seizure.

01:51:51.000 If a cop stops you and says, look, with all due respect, someone just broke into a liquor store.

01:51:57.000 You know, they were closed, stole the money out of the register.

01:52:01.000 Witnesses describe the person as a, you know, a guy who's about 5'10", wearing a black beanie and a black hoodie.

01:52:06.000 You're a block away.

01:52:07.000 You're wearing those clothes.

01:52:09.000 We're going to search you.

01:52:10.000 I'd be like, okay, you know what I mean?

01:52:13.000 Like, I get it.

01:52:14.000 You're being detained.

01:52:14.000 I'm being detained.

01:52:15.000 You are.

01:52:15.000 Okay, we're going to search you.

01:52:17.000 They're not allowed to stick their hands in your pockets.

01:52:19.000 That's considered unreasonable.

01:52:20.000 But they can pat the outside.

01:52:21.000 So there's things that are reasonable.

01:52:24.000 Let's grab this Rumble rant from RoBear93.

01:52:26.000 It says, Tim, I watched Culture War and Truth is Love today.

01:52:30.000 Have you seen Gerald during Truth is Love?

01:52:32.000 And what are your thoughts?

01:52:34.000 Ian, I love hate you so much.

01:52:35.000 Keep rolling that D20, bro.

01:52:37.000 God bless.

01:52:38.000 Culture War was really good this morning.

01:52:39.000 We had Candice Horbach and Myron Gaines as well as Ian on the show.

01:52:43.000 Talking about adult content in society, whether it's good or bad, the restrictions, as well as dating, men and women, expectations, and it was good and very interesting.

01:52:54.000 Alright, let's go.

01:52:55.000 Conservative B says, Love that Timcast is part of Rumble Premium now.

01:52:59.000 Got premium back in November and your show being added was like having my investment double in value.

01:53:03.000 I really do appreciate it.

01:53:04.000 I did see people saying they were thanking me for getting them such a great deal with Rumble Premium.

01:53:10.000 All existing TimCast members that were active right before that point get free Rumble Premium as long as they remain active on TimCast.com as members.

01:53:20.000 So then you're in the Discord, you're part of the community, but you also get to watch all of the amazing Rumble Premium content included because the guys at Rumble are very based and very good.

01:53:30.000 Is that bit that we shot earlier before this show, Green Room, that'll be on there?

01:53:34.000 Yep, that's the Green Room show.

01:53:36.000 Cool.

01:53:36.000 So on Rumble.com slash TimCast IRL, yeah.

01:53:40.000 It's like behind-the-scenes pre-show, and we're still hammering it out.

01:53:44.000 I want to incorporate more of how we actually set up IRL in those, meaning once you guys are done talking and we're getting ready for the show, the cameras bring you in, and then everyone gets to actually see how we're setting the show up.

01:53:55.000 I think that'd be cool.

01:53:56.000 Behind the scenes.

01:53:58.000 Little John says, So glad Ian isn't here.

01:54:00.000 Phil is the best.

01:54:01.000 Listened for years.

01:54:02.000 First time commenting.

01:54:03.000 Timcast for life.

01:54:04.000 Ban Ian.

01:54:05.000 I can't stand when he talks.

01:54:06.000 Keep up the good work.

01:54:07.000 Guys, you know, the thing is, You gotta have Ian.

01:54:11.000 You gotta do it.

01:54:12.000 I don't know why people...

01:54:13.000 It's funny because people do not want a homogenous lack of conflict.

01:54:20.000 It's like a known thing that humans want some kind of conflict and some kind of conflict resolution.

01:54:25.000 There's this thing they do in music, maybe Phil knows about it, where if you don't resolve a bar or whatever, people get frustrated, they get angry.

01:54:36.000 When we're having these conversations and Ian's rolling ones or twenties, it works really well.

01:54:40.000 And I do have to add this.

01:54:41.000 People don't understand.

01:54:42.000 Ian is actually really good at being on podcasts and doing shows like this.

01:54:46.000 Whether you like the sound of his voice or his opinions isn't what I mean.

01:54:49.000 Whether he derails, that's not what I mean.

01:54:53.000 The average person, when presented with a microphone at a desk, will not talk.

01:54:58.000 At all.

01:54:59.000 It's not an easy thing for the average person to do.

01:55:01.000 Some people can do it, some people can't.

01:55:03.000 Ian...

01:55:03.000 He can, for better or for worse.

01:55:08.000 Ian's great.

01:55:09.000 It's just that he has to remember that the point of the podcast is to share different ideas and to say we shouldn't voice your opinion because spooky things will happen is outside of what I'm going to listen to.

01:55:22.000 Let's be real.

01:55:23.000 The people who are like, I don't like Ian.

01:55:24.000 He shouldn't be on the show.

01:55:25.000 They loved it when Phil and Ian argued and Phil knocked Ian back.

01:55:29.000 You know what I mean?

01:55:31.000 It's conflict and resolution.

01:55:34.000 I'll keep it simple, because it's not like we have Ian here literally because we want to argue with him, but Ian often presents ideas that are counter to ours that we argue against, and that's kind of the point of having a conversation on issues.

01:55:45.000 We're not just going to bring on...

01:55:46.000 Imagine if we just had four people that completely agreed on everything and with the audience.

01:55:51.000 It's like, I understand...

01:55:52.000 Right.

01:55:54.000 I get it.

01:55:54.000 Maybe we'd have more viewership, but I don't think it's genuine.

01:55:57.000 Even what you said earlier about you wanting people to be in the office because one person mentions a toaster, one person mentions a Pop-Tart, and one person mentions butter, you'll find yourself down new avenues when somebody presents a wacky idea, or even just one contrary to your own.

01:56:13.000 Ian made a really great point that I thought—we all started laughing.

01:56:16.000 This morning on The Culture War, we were talking about— I mentioned that for most of human history, humans, their lives were the exact same as their grandparents.

01:56:28.000 And a little boy grew up next to a little girl.

01:56:31.000 And when they were 16, they were spending time together.

01:56:34.000 It wasn't an arranged marriage, but they grew up together.

01:56:37.000 Their worldviews were identical.

01:56:38.000 Their view of men and women were identical.

01:56:40.000 Their view of success was identical.

01:56:42.000 And by the time they were 18, they got married.

01:56:44.000 Their wants, desires, and goals for life were completely aligned because their world was very similar, and that's very different today.

01:56:52.000 Now it's like some dude from California meets some chick from Connecticut.

01:56:55.000 They have wildly different moral structures and worldviews, and then they get divorced right away.

01:56:59.000 Candace pointed out that actually before modern history, it was polyamorous.

01:57:04.000 One alpha guy getting all the women, to which I think it was, I then mentioned, well, Elon's got 12 kids.

01:57:11.000 And then Ian said, on paper.

01:57:14.000 That we know of.

01:57:16.000 I'm like, we all started laughing.

01:57:18.000 It is a good point.

01:57:19.000 I mean, he's trying to repopulate the earth.

01:57:21.000 He's so concerned about...

01:57:23.000 Population decline.

01:57:24.000 He's just living up to his own rhetoric.

01:57:26.000 Well, you know, good for him.

01:57:27.000 I'm not saying I agree with it.

01:57:29.000 I'm just saying I see the consistency in his...

01:57:32.000 He's like Thanos.

01:57:33.000 He's like, fine, I'll do it myself.

01:57:36.000 I am inevitable.

01:57:37.000 I am inevitable.

01:57:39.000 I told you he was trying to keep up with Nick Cannon.

01:57:44.000 One way or another, he'll make biological or technological children, right?

01:57:49.000 That's why he needs social security numbers, the math.

01:57:52.000 That doesn't math out.

01:57:53.000 We're going to run out of numbers at some point.

01:57:55.000 The criticism, I suppose, is that he's not monogamous.

01:57:58.000 My only concern is, well, for one, I don't know him.

01:58:02.000 I just hope he can be there for each of his kids in a way a father needs to be.

01:58:06.000 That is very true.

01:58:07.000 Yeah, I'm not saying he wouldn't be.

01:58:08.000 I'm saying I just hope it doesn't mean he considers.

01:58:10.000 I don't think it can be the same, though.

01:58:12.000 I don't think it can be the same.

01:58:14.000 Even if he's there, in a way, at his place and status, there's only so much time.

01:58:20.000 Even myself and Roman and I, we have full-time jobs.

01:58:23.000 Everyone on our crew has full-time jobs.

01:58:25.000 This is taking time on a Valentine's Day away from my wife who's sitting in the bedroom watching us right now because she's proud of me right now.

01:58:35.000 You know, I am a big fan of chivalry, and I looked up the...

01:58:40.000 We were on the morning show.

01:58:42.000 I looked up chivalry as we were discussing it, and I don't completely agree with the literal chivalry, but the idea of being honorable, being true to your word, taking responsibility for your actions, being generous and kind to those who deserve it, I think that's all particularly based.

01:58:59.000 However, that being said, the Ten Commandments of Chivalry, which are not absolute because chivalry did not have any actual direct literal guidelines.

01:59:09.000 However, in a French book, they wrote 99

01:59:50.000 % I'm totally on board.

01:59:52.000 Be true to your word.

01:59:53.000 Your word is your bond.

01:59:54.000 Be honest.

01:59:55.000 Be dutiful.

01:59:56.000 Fight for what is good and justice.

01:59:58.000 Do not recoil before your enemy.

02:00:00.000 I love this.

02:00:04.000 You are to be a man.

02:00:06.000 You are to wake up.

02:00:07.000 I'm going to give a shout-out to Andrew Tate.

02:00:08.000 You can criticize him all day and night.

02:00:10.000 But he has a couple of really great quotes.

02:00:12.000 Two of my favorite ones.

02:00:13.000 And again, I know a lot of people on the right really don't like the guy.

02:00:16.000 But whatever it is, these two are a good one.

02:00:18.000 He said, if I wake up, and he says, when I wake up, it doesn't matter if I'm sad, if I'm bitter, if I'm tired, if I'm angry.

02:00:25.000 I'm a man.

02:00:26.000 I have a job to do, and I'm going to do it.

02:00:28.000 How I feel doesn't matter.

02:00:29.000 And I'm like, it's a really good point.

02:00:31.000 Men have a duty.

02:00:33.000 You're going to wake up every day and I'm like, you know, how do I get to this point with the show?

02:00:37.000 I wake up every day and I say, I have to get the show done at this time.

02:00:41.000 I feel guilt if I do not do my duty.

02:00:44.000 And the other one he said is, a rocket ship doesn't pause halfway to the moon and wait and take a break.

02:00:50.000 It pushes as hard as it can until it reaches its goal.

02:00:53.000 And I'm like, there's a reason why this guy is influential and has a lot of fans.

02:00:57.000 It's very inspirational.

02:00:58.000 And if, you know, he's got a bad background or whatever it may be, I don't care.

02:01:03.000 Sticks, Hex, and Hammer.

02:01:04.000 Really smart guy.

02:01:05.000 Made this point.

02:01:05.000 I was at an event.

02:01:07.000 Someone asked a question and quoted some white nationalist guy.

02:01:11.000 And then I said, eh, hold on.

02:01:13.000 Like, that dude is a prominent white nationalist and I feel like we're being baited.

02:01:17.000 And Sticks, without hesitation, says, it doesn't matter.

02:01:19.000 If the idea is good, we're not going to call the idea bad simply because a bad person said it.

02:01:23.000 And I said, here, here, Sticks, Hex, and Hammer.

02:01:24.000 That's a good point.

02:01:25.000 Anyway, my friends, smash the like button.
