Tucker Carlson has been accused of being a Russian spy, and the EU is considering sanctioning him. Why does anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the President of a country we are not at war with? And why are they so upset about it?
00:00:07.000In fact, there are several viral tweets to the tune of millions of views claiming that Tucker Carlson was placed on a kill list over his interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:00:17.000Man, there is a lot to break down here.
00:00:28.000He's been on this list for a long time.
00:00:30.000And it's not literally a kill list, but it is effectively a target list.
00:00:34.000Tucker Carlson has already been on it.
00:00:36.000Because of his interview with Vladimir Putin, naturally people are very, very pissed off and he's being accused, once again, of being a Russian asset or propagandist.
00:00:44.000But the real threat right now, aside from obvious death threats, and Tucker's probably got serious security issues because of this, but the EU has actually entertained sanctioning Tucker Carlson over his interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:00:57.000Several members of EU Parliament have expressed their intention to have him reviewed, as it were.
00:01:02.000It seems like a long shot, but it is very interesting.
00:01:06.000And it brings up a very interesting point, which I'm going to just say it bluntly.
00:01:12.000Why does anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the president of a country we are not at war with?
00:01:33.000I think it's plainly obvious, and it's been for a long time, most of us have been paying attention, is that we are in this war.
00:01:38.000Chuck Schumer recently said we could lose this war, and that's why they're mad.
00:01:42.000They have unilaterally engaged in a war without congressional approval, without declaration, and they're trying to hide it from the American people.
00:02:59.000But in the meantime, if you're a member of TimCast.com, by going to TimCast.com and clicking Join Us, In a couple weeks or so, we are going to be launching tickets for our live event March 5th, which is about a month from now, at our Martinsburg location.

00:03:52.000I am the co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room, also an investigative reporter.
00:03:57.000And I guess since the last time I was on, I just launched an entirely USA-made lifestyle and clothing brand called She's So Right, but there also is a men's line.
00:04:55.000This one I, you know, initially we wanted to talk about Tucker Carlson facing threats of EU sanctions because we have confirmed statements from these parliamentary members in the EU literally threatening Tucker Carlson over his interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:05:09.000But then I realized the gravity of some of these tweets.
00:05:11.000You've got this tweet from Juanita Broderick with 12,000 retweets, 31,000 likes and 3.8 million views, followed by a quote tweet from Cat Turd with 1.7 million views and 15,000 retweets.
00:05:25.000Juanita Broderick says this POS dictator Zelensky has put Tucker Carlson on a kill list for interviewing Putin.
00:05:33.000Biden has helped him with your tax dollars.
00:05:38.000Cat Turd says this should disqualify this corrupt POS from getting another dime from our country.
00:05:43.000The challenge here is it's a massively viral story that is half wrong, half right.
00:05:51.000No Ukrainian government official, according to the fact check, has placed Tucker Carlson on this list.
00:05:57.000In fact, this website has had Tucker Carlson on the list going back to August.
00:06:02.000So he wasn't just placed on it, and it wasn't because of the interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:06:08.000Now, to be fair, Oneida Broderick did not say because, or actually no, she literally did say for interviewing Putin.
00:06:15.000It appears that there is another entry placed because of following this interview with Putin.
00:06:20.000Now it's not a kill list, it's a propaganda directory of some sort, a resource for pro-Ukraine individuals, and the reason why I say it's kind of half-true is The fact-checkers are trying to claim it's not a kill list.
00:06:33.000It's literally not, but it kind of is.
00:06:38.000If you're a high-profile individual and you appear on this list, they are basically saying to anybody who might have access to you, you are a bad person who is working against them.
00:06:47.000And of course, it has been reported that many people who do appear on the list do have been killed.
00:06:53.000You know, and I don't know how many or what the ratio is, but I do certainly think it was important to start with this.
00:06:59.000Because it's gone a little bit crazy on social media.
00:07:02.000That being said, I want to highlight something that, you know, I thought I had this pulled up, but now it's gone.
00:07:23.000NBC News, last March, Iowa police investigated a bomb threat targeting a junior high school.
00:07:27.000They determined that the threat was a hoax, but a detective from the police department had a theory about its possible inspiration, the libs of TikTok account.
00:07:35.000Here's why I want to put these stories together, okay?
00:07:38.000Tucker Carlson has been on a list since August.
00:07:40.000He has another entry added to the list.
00:07:42.000It appears, I could be wrong, it could be the same, it looks different.
00:07:45.000Following his interview with Vladimir Putin, he certainly is under a heightened security threat.
00:07:52.000These fact checkers on the community note say, it's not a kill list, it's not a kill list.
00:07:56.000The corporate press then claims, libs of TikTok, same day, today, is inspiring bomb threats by targeting individuals.
00:08:05.000So it's funny how, when it comes to the perceived enemies of the establishment, no, no, no, you know, or I should say, Yeah, they're not being threatened.
00:08:16.000But when it comes to someone reporting on and sharing information, which does create a threat to the establishment, they say, you are inspiring death and killists.
00:08:51.000I mean, it's these confusing articles that come out where they're saying, Tucker Carlson says he's the only one who's tried to interview him, and you'll get a quote from an AP reporter being like, does he really think he's the only one who wants to talk to Putin?
00:09:03.000And at the same time, they're sort of condemning him for talking to Putin.
00:09:05.000You have to say, what do you guys want?
00:09:07.000Did you guys want to have the exclusive or are you mad that he's doing this?
00:09:11.000Any country that we have given hundreds of billions of dollars to, I don't think we should be in a debate over the semantics of whether or not it's a kill list or it's some, you know, government hit list.
00:09:20.000And it happens to be that Americans who have ended up on that list have been basically killed by the Ukrainian government.
00:09:26.000And I think people don't understand the lengths to which the regime has gone to cover up what
00:10:06.000They say counter misinformation and disinformation.
00:10:09.000Not just abroad, but domestically here at home, too.
00:10:12.000And that's why I think you see them in freefall, because they've had such a monopoly on trying particularly to control this narrative, not just because Ukraine works as part of their broader global agenda, but I think on a personnel and personal level, when you talk about, you know, the Biden family's involvement there, I think Ukraine has just sort of been a cash cow for a lot of DC elites.
00:10:31.000So I think that's why you're seeing Such a mad rush to really keep what's going on there under wraps.
00:10:38.000So the website, my understanding, is not affiliated with the government officially, but has worked with law enforcement sources in Ukraine and foreign government sources for verification of information or whatever.
00:10:53.000So it's kind of just like... Take the fact checkers here.
00:10:55.000Well, I would say this is clearly a information warfare asset for them, listing all these people and showing all this propaganda and things like this.
00:11:22.000But have there been American citizens who are on this list and killed?
00:11:27.000I believe there were, or I don't know if it was necessarily this list, but I think the whole Gonzalo Lira case, I'm pretty sure he was.
00:11:33.000I'd have to imagine he's been on their list.
00:11:35.000And then they hunted him down and now he's reportedly dead.
00:11:38.000My point is we shouldn't even be in a space where there's gray area about whether or not it's like a kill, regardless, or if Americans are dead or alive, like for a country that we have given so much money to.
00:11:53.000I think that's like saying the fact checking organizations here in the United States that have been set up as sort of outfits of federally funded institutions or they're receiving federal funds.
00:12:02.000It's like, well, I guess they're technically not, but I think that's precisely the point.
00:12:05.000They like to be able to play that kind of shell game.
00:12:07.000Say, oh, well, it's technically not the government, but by all intents and purposes it is.
00:12:12.000It is acting in the interest of the government and probably has some kind of, you know, intermediary.
00:12:32.000But it's kind of like, yo, they're putting crosshairs over to Carlson.
00:12:34.000I think we should be this specific if we're gonna go line by line on whether it's a kill list or like a target list.
00:12:39.000How about we audit all the billions that we have sent to Ukraine with that same level of a fine-tooth comb, but these people don't actually care about semantics.
00:12:45.000They don't know where that money went.
00:12:50.000No, for real, wasn't it reported like half the money?
00:12:52.000No, they actually do not know where it is.
00:12:54.000And the best part too, speaking of how the mainstream media has continuously run cover on this narrative, I believe it was back in October of last year.
00:13:02.000It was not leaked, but they were talking with Politico from the Biden White House saying that the new narrative that they wanted on the Ukraine war was that our aid packages over there
00:13:12.000were actually a boon to the United States economy. It was great for the manufacturing base. It
00:13:16.000was great for jobs, just the most bogus BS narrative you've ever heard. But a month, two months
00:13:22.000later, you can look back at some of the stories. All these media outlets started running
00:13:26.000with this narrative, basically saying, Oh, Ukraine contracts. Oh.
00:13:31.000Oh, it's great for, you know, it's great for the defense contractors.
00:13:35.000Yeah, I guess it's great for the Beltway.
00:13:36.000But this was even down to, like, local newspapers and, like, affiliate stations pumping this very fake narrative that was disseminated directly from the White House.
00:13:44.000If you traced it from what they were saying in Politico all the way to these newspapers.
00:13:48.000So they've obviously have been working overtime to really create this.
00:13:52.000And I think, too, it's really interesting.
00:14:00.000But again, they play a little bit of semantics when they say we're technically we're not registered foreign lobbyists.
00:14:05.000But they're hosting meetings all the time with defense contractors, but they have sitting members of Congress, including Democratic Representative Marcy Kaptur listed as one of their strategic advisors.
00:14:14.000So there really is this, I think, maybe like Chinese door is that's the wrong country sort of
00:15:35.000EU considers sanctioning Tucker Carlson over interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:15:40.000Officials say, any sanctions would likely require proof that Carlson is linked directly to Moscow's aggression, which is a meaningless statement, because they will just come out and be like, Tucker Carlson ran cover for Vladimir Putin.
00:15:52.000Lawmakers in the EU are weighing sanctioning news media heavyweight Tucker Carlson as a result of his forthcoming interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
00:15:59.000Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Tucker had met and talked with Putin, as did the former Fox News anchor himself, in a post to social media platform X explaining why he sat down with the head of Russia.
00:16:10.000EU officials are considering imposing a travel ban on Carlson, who they say is acting as a mouthpiece for Putin.
00:16:16.000Quote, as Putin is a war criminal and the EU sanctions all who assist him in that effort, it seems logical that the External Action Service examine his case as well.
00:16:26.000There's an important takeaway from this, I mentioned it in the introduction to the show.
00:16:30.000Why would anyone, political, celebrity, personality, journalist, why would anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the president of a country we're not at war with?
00:17:19.000I mean, I think with sort of, like we were talking before, the rebranding of Ukraine, there has also been a longtime narrative that Russia is the biggest enemy we have.
00:17:28.000And I think you're right to bring up China and especially everything, all of the comments about the Uighur Muslims and everything else that has gone on there.
00:17:35.000We definitely treat these two world powers very differently.
00:17:39.000I think, you know, it's obviously, in my opinion, brave and admirable that Tucker's going to interview someone who is controversial.
00:17:46.000I think the fact that So many European countries have said, we're going to try and shut Russia's access to the Western world down, both economically and socially, is disturbing.
00:17:58.000I think they are ultimately feeding a lot of propaganda to their own people.
00:18:02.000And if we're not at war, then what could Putin say?
00:18:05.000You know, if he's such a horrible person, what is he going to say that you think you can't refute in your own media?
00:18:11.000If the Russians were the aggressors and we wanted this war to end, then diplomacy would be good.
00:18:16.000You could go talk to him, maybe he would stop fighting.
00:18:18.000But they seem to not want diplomacy, which indicates that maybe we're the aggressors here.
00:18:24.000And it's kind of like if I come up to you and I'm like, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, but I'm an inch away from your face, I'm aggressing on you, even though if you swap my hand away, I was the one that was aggressing on you.
00:18:35.000I think, you know, there were all these stories for a while.
00:18:37.000Vladimir Putin is super sick and he's going to die at any second and that will cause chaos.
00:18:41.000And Russia is going into an election year.
00:18:44.000If someone were to, you know, speak to Putin and say, are you sick?
00:18:48.000You know, maybe he'd lie, but at least you would have a Western outlet asking a question instead of it coming telephone through Europe.
00:18:54.000I think the ultimate goal is to make it so Russia is too far out of touch for anyone to communicate with.
00:19:01.000And so you have to rely on agencies like the UN or other European, you know, large scale government entities to say this is what Russia is doing.
00:19:10.000And by the way, if all of these news outlets really hate state-run media so much, I believe I'm not mistaken, it's the New York Times, I think CNN too, the Washington Post, they take money from China Daily to run advertisements in their papers.
00:19:24.000These have all, organizations and these journalists have all partnered with Chinese state-run media outlets.
00:19:30.000I'm pretty sure Tucker said that they've reached out To Zelensky to try to interview him, but they haven't heard anything back.
00:19:36.000But you're so right, this narrative that they're opposed to peace talks, and that you've seen at least, and whether it's the Atlantic, CNN, you see op-eds all the time.
00:19:45.000And it's so interesting, one of the stories that we were working on at War Room, a lot of the refrain, that like anti-peace talk narrative, even there was an op-ed, the title was like, peace talks are quote counterproductive, which is just kind of an asinine take in my opinion.
00:20:01.000But a lot of those people, the authors behind it, you know, are luminaries.
00:20:06.000I always say they're like the impeachment witnesses of Trump's first impeachment, like the Brookings think tank types, you know, the elites that we should trust.
00:20:13.000But they are all fellows and advisors at that U.S.-Ukraine Business Council, but they never disclose those conflicts of interest in those op-eds.
00:20:21.000So part of it, I think, is ideological compromise.
00:20:23.000They really do believe that Ukraine is like, if we don't win, you know, Russia, Russia, But there also is a very clear financial interest there, and I just think it's interesting that they never disclosed that.
00:20:33.000Well, we have one of the greatest tweets ever in the history of Twitter, and it is here.
00:20:37.000Glenn Greenwald tweeted, Who were the American journalists who conducted even minimally
00:20:48.000And that may be one of the greatest tweets ever made.
00:20:53.000And I had, I just screenshotted it and I had to post it on X. But, but, as much as all of us are laughing, and I'm sure some of you may be earmuffs, you know, putting earmuffs on your kids and hoping you have to explain to them what that meant.
00:21:06.000We do, we do have this from EndWokeness.
00:21:09.000A very pressing and important interview from CNN with Zelensky of Ukraine.
00:21:15.000I'd like to play for you now this very, very important interview.
00:21:19.000As a human being, so many people look up to you.
00:24:57.000Well, they tried that with a trans woman and that was like, but it was to pander to the liberals on the left in the United States so they could ask for money.
00:26:00.000The amount of money that we're spending on Ukraine, considering this is this is what they're doing, which is just to sort of take over.
00:26:08.000He has gone on so many international trips being like, please, money.
00:26:12.000He's like a professional fundraiser for his country.
00:26:14.000And it seems crazy that when Tucker Carlson is like, well, I want to talk to the other side.
00:26:18.000Everyone's like, how could you do this?
00:26:20.000Possible sanctions, like, you know, hysterics.
00:26:22.000I just had an idea for something I would love to make, if we had the means, and it's like, you take that scene, and then halfway through, you just zoom in on Zelensky and Erin Burnett, and you play, like, slowly increasing romantic music with no dialogue, and they're just looking at each other, and then it escalates.
00:26:42.000Right, but then, you have the Dolph Lundgren-style guy, and we'll film a different scene where he comes in and goes, Zelensky, get away from her!
00:27:07.000And then he holds up like a golden, the Holy Grail.
00:27:11.000Didn't Justin Trudeau try to make fun of Putin?
00:27:14.000He was at some international gathering of whoever cares, and there were these photos of, like, Putin shirtless on horseback that had come out.
00:27:22.000You know, a little, you know, whatever, man.
00:27:26.000And Justin Trudeau tried to make fun of him for them.
00:27:28.000He's like, maybe we should all take it.
00:27:29.000It was just, like, the most ridiculous, obvious jealousy.
00:27:32.000I just find the hysterics around this whole thing Deeply confusing, and I think ultimately trying to make Putin the bad guy is the only way they can try to keep the narrative going of this is something Americans should pay attention to.
00:27:48.000If Tucker Carlson interviewed, like, I don't know, the president of, you know, Tajikistan or something, or whatever, I don't even know if they have a president, nobody would care.
00:29:04.000It's more of the unrestricted warfare type, certainly information warfare.
00:29:08.000So then why is it okay to have Xi Jinping on American soil and roll out the red carpet for him and have media outlets interview him and have them take cash from Chinese Communist Party?
00:29:16.000It's such a double standard and it goes back to the original premise which is that it's all about narrative control and suppression.
00:30:57.000I just love this so much because she's like, it's it's quite like we should stop saying sour grapes and start saying Nikki losing in Nevada because she's just like, I didn't want to win the primary anyway.
00:31:10.000It is actually dumb because she took it seriously enough to register to be on the ballot despite the fact that the RNC is awarding based off the caucus, which is tomorrow.
00:31:19.000She is now saying, I know I'm going to lose in the caucus in Nevada.
00:31:21.000So she's getting out ahead of the message of like, well, not only did you lose to literally no one, you also lost to Trump.
00:31:26.000She's saying it never mattered, which how could you like her if you're a Nevada voter?
00:31:29.000But you know that if she did get first place and none of these candidates didn't make a mark, she'd be saying, look, that's Trump's fault.
00:32:07.000Yeah, I mean, so Nevada's weird because they tried really hard to say, like in 2021, they passed this law saying we are actually the state that gets to hold the first in the nation caucus or first in the nation primary.
00:32:19.000And they had been from what I understand of a caucus system beforehand.
00:32:23.000And this is all leading into the time where the Democratic National Party spent a lot of time saying, Actually, we want to rework the entire schedule.
00:32:31.000We don't want Iowa and New Hampshire to go first.
00:32:34.000We don't think it represents the voter base, basically saying they're not diverse enough states.
00:32:38.000And so they want to lead with South Carolina and Nevada and go into a different schedule.
00:32:42.000And so you're seeing this year Republicans having races in some states and sometimes they're held the same time as Democrats and other times they're not.
00:32:51.000South Carolina primary for the Democrats was February 3rd but the South Carolina primary for the Republicans is I think it's February 26th right at the end of the month.
00:33:00.000So because their parties are operating differently just like so the Republicans saying well even though you have now passed a state law saying you have to have a primary We are still having the caucus and that's what we're awarding is very similar to what the Democrats did in New Hampshire, which is to say, even though it's state law there, you have to have the first in the nation primary.
00:33:20.000They discouraged the New Hampshire Democrats from holding one and they said, if you do, we won't award any delegates based on that.
00:33:27.000So you're just seeing this bifurcation of we want to control the order in which states vote.
00:35:50.000Joe Lombardo was one of the first people, at least I saw, I'm sure other people had said it, who said, you know, I am going to partake in the primary because that's what's happening in our state, but I'm going to vote for none of these candidates because I don't want anyone here.
00:36:02.000He's always been a really big supporter of Trump.
00:36:04.000And so I just think Nikki Haley Was hoping that there were, I think she underestimated the support that Trump has on the populace level, especially among state governors.
00:36:17.000I mean, not even the governor of her own state, South Carolina, which is basically the next thing that she's leading up to saying, I hope I can win South Carolina.
00:36:25.000None of the Republicans in South Carolina.
00:36:27.000The entire administration of government, like all the Republicans just endorsed Trump.
00:37:15.000I just, like, the most embarrassing thing a person could- You sort of understand her foreign policy, how she's okay with losing all the money.
00:37:24.000I'm sorry, like, the humiliation, the utter humiliation that she's experiencing, and you can see it in her face.
00:37:30.000She's like, no, it doesn't matter, we didn't even care.
00:37:32.000Like, we didn't even want to be in Nevada.
00:37:33.000You know, Trump rigged it, he rigged it.
00:37:35.000I didn't even- Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:37:36.000Yeah, I cared enough to register, but I don't actually care at all.
00:37:52.000And then instead she just got up like she was just standing right between the sewage pipe and right in public in front of everybody and she's standing there going, I didn't want to stand here in the first place!
00:39:22.000And, you know, she's Not super welcome in her home state.
00:39:26.000You'll hear interviews with South Carolina voters who say, you know, she was a great governor.
00:39:29.000I just don't see her as president or whatever else.
00:39:30.000But now it seems like the voters who have elected the current guard of leaders in South Carolina wouldn't support her either.
00:39:38.000I mean, they have drifted more favorably towards Trump.
00:39:40.000The longer she stays in this battle with Trump, the more she isolates herself from most Republican voters.
00:39:46.000But I think she's more concerned about what the defense contracting industry thinks of her and what cushy gigs and retainer fees she'll be able to get.
00:39:52.000I don't think she gives A, I won't cuss, but anything about the Republican base or she wouldn't have, first of all, stepped in.
00:39:58.000She would have stepped out a while ago.
00:40:01.000And I think it's just sort of performative activism, I would say, to get a cushy gig at whether it's Raytheon, Boeing, choose your corporate, you know, sugar daddy.
00:40:18.000Like she's sitting in the driver's seat of a self-driving car.
00:40:20.000Well, Ken Griffin gave her a super PAC, like five million dollars, but then he was interviewed and he was like, yeah, I don't think she's gonna win, so... But it's not... I think why it comes off so disingenuous is that they're not giving money to her because they actually liked her.
00:40:34.000Ron DeSantis was sort of the first pick, but then he was the sacrificial lamb.
00:41:05.000You think those people care about the MAGA base, the Republican base?
00:41:08.000They're probably laughing, oh, these dumb idiots are going to think if we say the word rigged, let's focus group that word, like that's going to go over with them because they're really into election denialism, but it shows you how attached they are.
00:41:19.000She learned how to talk while opening and closing her mouth.
00:41:23.000It was funny because I tweeted, like, Nikki Haley, when she speaks, she doesn't move her teeth.
00:41:28.000And then it was, it was kind of wild because there were people, like, they gotta be PR accounts, I think, defending her saying, your teeth don't move when you talk.
00:41:36.000And I was like, dude, your mouth opens and closes and your teeth are going up and down.
00:41:41.000But when she talks, she keeps her jaw still and she talks through her lips like this.
00:42:10.000So these people that are funding her campaign, are they basically ready to profit off of global organization, like global finance, if the U.S.
00:42:16.000amalgamizes into this new world order thing peacefully?
00:42:18.000Well, just try and understand it, you know, Ian.
00:42:20.000I think I think you're too self-centered.
00:42:23.000I think you gotta understand it from their perspective.
00:42:25.000If someone came to you and said, blowing up a bunch of kids would put a million bucks in your pocket, you'd say yes, right?
00:42:55.000I think there are a lot of people that are down or ready to profit on the transfer of power from the American-led economic order to the new global economic order.
00:43:04.000And they're like, we're going to make so much money off our BlackRock investments off of... They already are.
00:43:08.000And so if Nikki, so they're willing to put five million behind Nikki because she's probably what I would imagine passively go along with it where Trump's like, no!
00:43:14.000Well, and they all want to be the one who has a president who's in their pocket, right?
00:43:18.000I mean, you want to be able to call in the favors.
00:43:20.000That's really why a lot of people donate to political campaigns to ultimately have influence over the candidate.
00:43:24.000That's exactly what we're seeing going on right now on the Hill, right, with this immigration bill.
00:43:29.000Like most American people, I think immigration is an issue that we're probably gaslit the hardest on, but most average Americans have absolutely no demonstrable benefit from allowing illegal immigration, right?
00:43:47.000I also believe there's an element of ideological compromise too.
00:43:51.000But I think for so long we've been accustomed to politics where there's really no meaningful difference between Republican and Democrat, right?
00:43:57.000Whether it's the uniparty critique or however you want to perceive of it.
00:44:00.000But I really think that's why Trump was so transformational because he changed that and made the Republican Party really a party of The working class and even you see punchbowl sort of analysis of what happened on the hill today, specifically on that border bill.
00:44:12.000They said it was the death of the old Republican Party, right?
00:44:15.000You know, it used to be McConnell could get his, you know, watered down conservative border bills passed because there wasn't meaningful pushback.
00:44:22.000And I think the Nikki Haley's of the world, the Ron DeSantis's of the world, it's sort
00:44:26.000of that deja vu to that like pre-2016 era politics where all of the Republican politics,
00:44:31.000it was politicians, it was like, let's just choose.
00:44:37.000It was basically just like picking the same style of just basically neoconservatism.
00:44:43.000And I think that's why she's not going over well.
00:44:44.000But that dying guard of donor, they're not ready to give up yet.
00:44:48.000They don't roll over without a fight, and I would not want Nikki Haley to be my fighter, even if she's wearing heels, as I'm sure she'd be more than certain to point out.
00:45:47.000What people are actually suggesting is that you just go and arrest everybody.
00:45:51.000Military tribunals, I think Roseanne asked for.
00:45:55.00074% majority of Republican voters say they support the idea of former President Donald Trump being a dictator for a day if he's re-elected.
00:46:00.000A new survey from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and YouGov found 36% of independent voters also support the prospect.
00:46:10.000I support Donald Trump using his legal authority, which he already has and doesn't need to be a dictator, to start Getting rid of the corruption.
00:46:30.000I want there to be a book, a Wikipedia entry, talking all about all of the evidence that was uncovered and how Donald Trump got an AG in there and cleaned this place up.
00:46:40.000I like the hysteria around the Donald Trump, uh, dictator for a day comment because it's like they're just hooked on cartoons and they're expecting the villain to be like, well, my plan is to become a dictator.
00:46:50.000Like you think someone who actually wants to be a dictator leads with, I'm going to be a dictator.
00:46:55.000Well, but to be, to be fair, it's the distinction between cartoons for 10 year olds and cart, well, actually cartoons for five year olds and cartoons for 10 year olds.
00:47:01.000The cartoons for 10-year-olds are a little bit more sophisticated than that.
00:47:04.000Like I mentioned this before, it's a great line from Justice League, where Lex Luthor, the super villain, is running for president, and when one of the Justice League confronts him, a character called The Question, Luthor says, do you have any idea how much power I would have to give up in order to be president?
00:47:21.000It's like even 10-year-olds understand the context there.
00:47:25.000And these people are thinking like it's, like they're five and the villain's like, I'm going to freeze the earth!
00:47:42.000He was always like the villain, you know, he's twirling his mustache, literally.
00:47:45.000I gotta tell you, because this, you know, I was telling this story all week about this guy I met in DC, quite literally told me, just you wait, when Donald Trump gets elected, you will lose all your rights.
00:47:55.000I'm like, bro, they're concerned action. It's projection though. I think Joe Biden is I mean
00:48:00.000Cliche but the true dictator you look at whether it's the weaponization
00:48:04.000Of the doj the lawfare the way the way that they're conducting global affairs. It's clearly
00:48:08.000Just projection and I think the old way that they did the projection playbook was sort of the russia russia russia
00:48:14.000like foreign collusion Because obviously the democratic party and of course
00:48:17.000establishment republicans too, but are always colluding with foreign foreign governments
00:48:21.000But I think they know the russia trope is sort of used up.
00:48:23.000I think you used to see the like Black lives matter stuff always pop up right before
00:48:29.000That's... I think they realize that, like, ad hominem racist attacks don't work as much anymore, and now I think they're really going down.
00:48:36.000They have, like, two, I would say, concurrent strategies.
00:48:38.000One is, like, the, oh, democracy's gonna die in... die in darkness, and Trump is a dictator.
00:48:43.000Oh, even, you know, appeal to, like, the neocons, like, oh, we must preserve our... our way of life.
00:48:47.000But I also think the sort of other... other route that they're going down, um, is...
00:48:54.000I don't know, I think it's really just like, I don't know, it's just always projection and it's, I don't know, it's just the same, it's like you could do that with every story.
00:49:04.000I kind of think we're headed towards a wartime presidency, as many people try to refer to it.
00:49:12.000I don't know how you solve this problem, but a bifurcated culture, a postmodernist and a, you know, like traditional American republicanist world, they can't coexist.
00:49:21.000And so I don't think it's a matter of what anyone wants to happen.
00:49:24.000It doesn't matter if you want Trump to be a dictator or not.
00:49:27.000There will come a point where there is no question.
00:49:34.000When you face down with like, Far leftists trying to seize territory in cities like they did in 2020, shooting and killing people, eventually get to the point where you're like, then we have to have armed guards and creating checkpoints.
00:49:48.000It's not a question of, I would like or I would not like.
00:49:52.000If the far left violence exceeds a certain degree, there will be a response.
00:49:55.000And then you'll walk down the street and you're going to have National Guard and they're going to be like, you know, you need an ID and you're whatever.
00:50:01.000And you're going to be like, this is dictatorship.
00:50:02.000And they're going to be like, okay, if we leave, the far leftists will come in with their guns again.
00:50:07.000I also think it's like, what is it, the thesis, antithesis, synthesis, whatever that is, it's like, I think the reason why, I think there is some truth to this poll in the sense that Joe Biden is such a weak man, Trump is such a strong man, and I think when you look around the country and you see particularly what's going on, At the southern border.
00:50:24.000I mean, I think you make a valid case for wanting a strong leader who's actually going to protect national sovereignty, and I think in some ways it sort of reflects that longing, that yearning, for America to be a country again with a leader, with a government that actually does something to fight for the people, and it's not all totally decentralized and sent out to all these swampy bureaucratic agencies.
00:50:47.000I think I mean, from a social perspective, the desire for a dictator, there is something interesting there in terms of how it interplays with, I think, a lot of the critiques we hear of, like, decentralizing and deconstructing the administrative state, right?
00:51:00.000Because that really is the way of diffusing power to unelected bureaucrats.
00:51:03.000And I don't know about you, I personally would rather have dictator Trump than President Trump compounded with, you know, like, bureaucrat, you know, overlord Fauci and Milley.
00:51:35.000Well, a lot of people are like, I don't know.
00:51:37.000Best thing I can think of is some guy goes in and does it, but like there's ways to do it, technical ways to do it.
00:51:42.000You just got to have controlled power sources, got to have control of mass media like airwaves, like radio waves and stuff like that.
00:51:49.000If you have your own satellites, things like that, you can kind of maintain open systems where information can be traded, behaviors can become transparent, and then I think the system kind of solves itself.
00:52:02.000I think part of why people who support Trump understood that the dictator comment was more about, I'm going to take action immediately, is because they're tired of the way that the Biden administration does implement authoritarian culture while pretending they're for you.
00:52:18.000They're pretending they're for democracy.
00:52:20.000And I think the idea that someone would be direct and be like, yes, on the first day, I'm immediately going to do these things is refreshing.
00:52:26.000Like you're saying, it's an appeal to strength and I think Biden is notoriously unpopular and he doesn't have the approval ratings that really I think would predict an easy win to re-election.
00:52:40.000And so ultimately Trump, by just being direct, saying these are the problems you're facing and I'm going to fix them and if I have to be You know, if I have to make that my number one priority from day one, I will do that for you.
00:52:55.000Makes people feel like they can trust him to change.
00:52:57.000Whereas the Biden administration is sort of always saying a lot of things and doing nothing.
00:53:01.000I mean, right, to talk about the border, they initially, with all of the razor wire stuff, said you have to pull the razor wire out because it's inhumane and people will drown.
00:53:11.000And they're like, that's why I put it Texas says, that's why I put it there, because we don't want people to swim across the river.
00:53:17.000At which point the Biden administration said, actually, you needed our approval for that.
00:53:20.000And that's why you have to take it out.
00:53:21.000I mean, the Biden administration is ultimately trying to keep the borders open, and they want there to be a flow of illegal immigration into the country.
00:53:29.000And so that fact that someone would be like, yes, I would be a dictator to turn the ship to make things right.
00:53:36.000I think Freaks out people who know ultimately Trump has the same values as them and wouldn't be a dictator as opposed to someone who is constantly saying, no, no, I have your values, but I'm lying to you constantly and doing things, doing one thing, claiming to be doing another.
00:53:50.000Yeah, because if you say, I'm not a dictator, but you're signing executive orders over and over and over, then you are a dictator and you're lying to people.
00:53:56.000Yeah, I'm not a dictator, but you all have to wear masks.
00:53:58.000I'm not a dictator, but you have to leave the military if you don't get the vaccination.
00:54:01.000I'm not a dictator, but I'm going to fight the state's rights to defend itself until I am left to the point where states are starting to turn against me.
00:54:11.000I'm not a dictator, you are, but I'm actually going to do everything I can to maintain as much power and be disruptive as possible.
00:54:16.000I'm not a dictator, but my family's going to profit millions of dollars off of contracts with China and Ukraine.
00:54:22.000Right, I'm not a dictator, but my son's going to get a really, really nice plea deal until you guys catch it and I have to sort of pretend otherwise.
00:54:57.000Well, they wrote the history books, so it's tough to tell, and I'm sure the rich Romans were getting on very good, but the rest of society... There's no way for 200 years you suppress dissent from people fleeing the country, especially in that era.
00:55:23.000I don't hear a lot about the brutality of the Romans.
00:55:25.000I know that they were brutal to the non-Romans, to the sub-citizens, you know, the slave class and the foreigners that lived there, but they don't talk a lot about it in the history books, at least not the ones I've been reading.
00:55:35.000We have talked about this quite a bit, that are we in the collapse of the Roman Empire or the start of the Roman Empire?
00:55:42.000Yeah, it's like the republic is shattering, I would say.
00:55:45.000That doesn't mean it's going to fall apart necessarily, but it feels like the walls are shaking right now and like, whoa, what's that green ooze pouring out of the walls?
00:55:54.000What if there's like an attempt on Trump's life and it causes him like disfiguration to his right side, but he also has to use like a voice box, so he's wearing like a mask.
00:56:02.000And then he's just like, I have dissolved the Senate.
00:56:41.000I think part of the reason that they have been so adamantly opposed to Trump winning this year, and they've really, I think, ratcheted up the attacks, particularly on the lawfare front.
00:56:51.000I think if you look at a lot of these kind of global agendas, whether it's like the UN and their sustainable development goals, the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset, a lot of, or even the Made in China 2025 initiative, but a lot of these kind of Master plans, I would say the kind of ideological underpinning or framework, like if you really drill down as to what actually constitutes the new world order, they're all set to conclude in 2030.
00:57:16.000And I think if you, you know, do the math right 2025, the term would start it ends 2029.
00:57:22.000A Trump term now, as like a second, third Trump term, would be absolutely, I mean a death knell, I think in some ways you could argue, for a lot, or at least a strong impediment for their ability to really roll out a lot of these global agendas, and I think that's why they are in such heavy, full-out panic mode about ensuring that Trump doesn't win this election.
00:57:45.000Yeah, and I think that's backed up by the way he ripped up the Trans-Pacific Partnership day three after he got in, was like, we're not selling out.
00:57:53.000I think, you know, you can definitely make the case that he could have done more, but put it this way.
00:57:57.000If the only person in between us becoming, you know, New World Order, WHO, WEF, UN slaves, would you rather have it be Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, or Joe Biden?
00:58:12.000I know the people that know him anyway, and I'd like to hang out with them.
00:58:14.000But I think that if he starts saying like, you know, we all want a new world order, this American military base everywhere stomping on the neck of humanity is not good anymore.
00:58:25.000If he was like open, he's like, we're going to make a new world order, and it's going to have American ideals at the center of it.
00:58:29.000New world order with American nationalism, economic nationalism.
00:58:34.000But I don't think I think I mean, we're not speaking on behalf of Trump, but his conception, I think, particularly if you look at how he has reformed the Republican Party, putting back in that economic nationalist populist perspective, at the bedrock of that is sovereignty and the bedrock of sovereignty is borders.
00:58:50.000And that concept of borders and nation states, whether it's the Westphalian nation system or what we should have here with a secure southern border, that is fundamentally at odds with the concept that these New World Order type groups are pushing, which is global government, right?
00:59:02.000Because that implies that we're global citizens and that there's a global sovereign.
00:59:06.000And I don't think that Donald Trump or the kind of new version of the MAGA Republican Party Believes in that to any extent and I would say look no further than the fact that the guy who was advising the W.H.O.
00:59:18.000on drafting a lot of the pretext to the current pandemic treaty that they're debating was Joe Biden's top bio health advisor.
00:59:25.000So there's this very very icky overlap between a lot of the W.H.O.' 's that even Joe Biden's supply chain sustainability coordinator is like a world economic forum alum.
00:59:34.000So all of these people have like weaseled their way in to really, I was going to say subvert, but it's not to subvert the Biden regime, it's to amplify.
00:59:42.000And I think to really complement what is this idea of global government, this idea that being an American doesn't mean anything.
00:59:48.000Look no further than the fact that in New York, they're handing out IDs to illegal aliens.
00:59:52.000That is like such a metaphorical example of what American citizenship means to these people.
00:59:58.000And it means nothing because they don't believe in borders because they're globalists to their core.
01:00:03.000Let's jump to with a hard segue to some cultural news because this one's awesome.
01:00:07.000Shane Gillis is going to be hosting SNL on Saturday and this is important for all of you because he was fired by Saturday Night Live in 2019 for surfaced jokes he had made on podcasts many years prior.
01:00:20.000Where I think he did like an Asian accent and he made what they called homophobic jokes.
01:00:28.000Now, considering many see him as the, you know, up and coming star in the comedy circuit, one of the funniest comedians in the world, SNL asked him to host.
01:00:38.000And once again, the woke machine is trying to cancel him.
01:01:23.000It turns out the City Walk guy was like the Chinese guy at the Chinese food restaurant.
01:01:27.000So it was okay that Shane Gillis made fun of it then, right?
01:01:29.000He didn't make fun of that, but it turned out, you know, the South Park guys... Canonically.
01:01:33.000Yeah, canonically, he's actually a white guy who's got like, what is he like, schizophrenic or something?
01:01:37.000I think there are like levels of comedianship that you get to where you're no longer, like Dave Chappelle, like some guys are so awesome that it's just like you let them say whatever.
01:01:51.000You're able to say whatever because you risk less.
01:01:54.000I just listened to Shane Gillis' podcast with Theo Vaughn, and I don't follow his stand up very much, so I don't know what he's like normally, but it was definitely interesting during the episode hearing him be like, oh, you gotta be careful.
01:02:06.000You're not supposed to say stuff like that.
01:02:07.000It seems like cancel culture has definitely had an effect on him.
01:02:10.000And I mean, maybe it's a confidence boost to be able to go back on a show that was that fired you over something you had, you know, you couldn't take back and you kind of had no control over.
01:02:23.000But that it's funny you bring up that particular podcast if anyone wants to go watch it, because Theo Yvonne brings up a lot of points about this exact thing within the whole comedy world, and it's, uh, and this whole, like, being canceled by people that don't even really care about what you do and don't even like the stuff that you're putting on the world in the first place.
01:02:39.000They're not gonna drop him from hosting.
01:02:41.000I'm willing to bet then when- I bet he's got a contractual agreement.
01:03:14.000There's this other big news that they're going to have, they're going to re they're, they're, they're recasting pirates of the Caribbean for a younger cast.
01:03:20.000And they're going to have the main character played by like a young black woman.
01:03:24.000And this one's interesting because it's like, It's a hand-me-down.
01:04:15.000The depiction of Captain Jack Sparrow is so iconic, people loved him, that's why there were so many of them, to say not only do you not get original content because we don't actually really care about giving you something fresh as an actor to work with, we're also going to set you up to be directly compared to a character people loved, always.
01:04:31.000I mean, that's like setting someone up to fail, I feel like.
01:04:34.000Not only do they get the chance to perform sort of authentically with their own talents and skills, they also just live in the shadow of this white guy forever.
01:04:41.000So who's that guy Kumail Nanjiani or whatever his name is?
01:04:57.000Sure, but it was like his movie did so poorly.
01:04:59.000And I just find it funny because This DEI stuff getting called out, Disney, Elon Musk suing.
01:05:04.000SNL is literally asking a white man who has been attacked relentlessly by the left for being, like, you know, anti-Asian or homophobic or whatever.
01:05:45.000Or is that counting for the inflation?
01:05:46.000I mean, it's only been, like, ten years, so I don't think inflation's playing a big role in those numbers right now.
01:05:50.000Though, to be honest, considering the past four years, maybe.
01:05:53.000My initial thought was that DEI is just, I mean, the curtain's been pulled back.
01:05:57.000It's so disgusting to force certain races into positions of power just because of their skin color.
01:06:03.000But they're not even positions of power.
01:06:04.000Like, at a corporation, they'll be like, we're gonna hire you for that role, considering that role a position of power, you got the job, that's the power.
01:06:11.000Like, they have DEI hirings, even if it's just a random corporation, being like... It's not, it's not a position of power.
01:06:17.000So, uh, for instance, I've actually experienced this.
01:06:21.000You know, having worked in an office with a bunch of women, I have worked with very capable women who are substantially better than half the guys.
01:06:28.000There was one producer that I worked with at Vice and later at Fusion who was, like, literally one of the best.
01:08:02.000If they have him back because they're like, hey, this is much better for us, that's great.
01:08:05.000Because then they're doing Bud Light 2 and they're saying, hey, they're writing on the wall, like Tim said, that we don't want to do this woke thing anymore because all it does is we go broke, we lose money, we go broke.
01:08:14.000That's what we've been saying for a long time.
01:08:16.000I think we have to reflect on the fact that they fired him.
01:08:19.000I mean, they could have had him there balancing out the cast from the beginning, and instead they were like, no, you're too risky, we don't want you here, and now they pay the price for it.
01:08:29.000Which, I mean, if they, it's almost like recognizing that they maybe could have, I don't watch SNL so I don't really know, you know, what they could have done, but theoretically if you had this other voice, this other perspective on comedy, you would have balanced out your writing in a way that maybe would have kept you more culturally relevant.
01:08:52.000They chose to say, no, you're too bold, you're too risky, we don't want to be on the cutting edge, and then they sent themselves back, right?
01:09:01.000The downside could have been that SNL clammed him up and kept him on but kept him quiet and not funny because they didn't want to piss off the wrong people.
01:09:08.000Yeah, I think this whole thing and being quote-unquote cancelled was like, like I said earlier, like it kind of made his career and he's definitely realized that and I think if he, like you said, he would have been like kind of, you know, hemmed up from actually being as funny as he really is and being able to explore what he's explored.
01:09:24.000I would also argue that the The career path for stand-up comedians has really broadened with the advent of podcasting and YouTube and the internet and things like that.
01:09:34.000If you listen to Tina Fey talk about it, doing improv, being part of these big groups, launched you into Hollywood, launched you into movies, whatever else, they didn't have the same outlets.
01:09:44.000And so in some ways, maybe by not having to immediately get on that machine, He was able to develop more authentically as a comedian because he had to say, like, well, this is what I'm going to do, and this is how I'm going to continue to hone my craft as a stand-up comedian.
01:09:58.000It used to be Upright Citizens Brigade in Chicago.
01:13:24.000Maybe because I don't know with the internet like comedy is more real and so this corporate comedy is like obviously corporate they can't say fuck on SNL but I can say it on YouTube you know and it's actually enjoyable on this venue but like on that they're still like bound by these weird Yeah, and it's just not the only place you have to go anymore.
01:13:43.000So maybe people who would have auditioned for it and tried to get in, they think, ah, I'm too edgy, they won't take me anyway, so I won't go and I'll start my own thing over there.
01:13:51.000I mean, in some ways, it's good, right?
01:13:53.000Because it gives other people options to start YouTube channels, start podcasts, do more live presentations.
01:14:00.000That, again, I feel like I can't totally critique it because I don't watch SNL regularly, but I just think that we have moved away from cable TV as a culture.
01:14:59.000We got all these awesome comedians doing their own thing, but they don't have a TV show like Theo Vaughn and, you know, Brian Callen and Joe Rogan.
01:15:05.000If they had a show like SNL, that'd be pretty badass.
01:15:10.000It's from a week ago, but it's about something we talked about, and I think we just never, it never fit into the schedule.
01:15:16.000The Boys star Aaron Moriarty quits Instagram after Megyn Kelly's plastic surgery claims.
01:15:23.000Okay, first, it wasn't Megyn Kelly's claims.
01:15:26.000Megyn Kelly was picking up on a meme that everybody else was talking about, and it's actually got its own know-your-meme page, but the meme was, someone posted this picture of Erin Moriarty, she's an actress, she's on the show The Boys, and they said, women need to stop getting plastic surgery.
01:15:41.000And they showed this image of Erin Moriarty.
01:15:43.000She does, she, she absolutely looks like she got tons of plastic.
01:16:21.000original viral photo. It was this one right here.
01:16:24.000Royce Lopez said, women need to stop plastic surgery until we figure out what's wrong.
01:16:28.000Why would you ruin your face like this?
01:16:30.000This is Erin Moriarty from the boys. She was already very pretty.
01:16:33.000What she responded with, because this is where it started.
01:16:36.000She went after Megyn Kelly, I guess Megyn Kelly had the platform that she thought to target, but a lot of big shows, a lot of following, we're talking about it.
01:16:44.000And she was like, that photo's from when I was like underage, and I'm very young, and this photo is like new, and she's like, they're all false, but she clearly looks very different.
01:16:52.000She claimed it was just like makeup, but everyone's kind of going after her over it, because there's a photo here, and I think this one's more recent.
01:17:20.000And so the question is, what is happening with social media that there are women who are like, I want to look like this.
01:17:29.000And then, I guess inversely, or subsequently, you get such a backlash to people saying you look gross that she deleted her Instagram outright.
01:17:39.000She didn't delete, like, she deleted all the photos and then put up a thing being like, screw you, Megyn Kelly.
01:17:46.000You know, I don't want to be dick-torqued, I don't know, or anything like that.
01:17:48.000But we've got this filter crisis and this Instagram image crisis for young women, but this is actually, as bad as it is, a promising sign moving forward that these filters and the surgery is resulting in a negative backlash and they're starting to realize, like, don't do this to yourself, you know what I mean?
01:18:09.000I'm not saying it's like a lobotomy, but they went through the phase of- Like really, really thin eyebrows that were really popular in the 90s.
01:19:03.000But I also think too that you have been seeing, although you guys probably know because you're not young women, but maybe you share the same sentiment, like they are really, really, really pushing Botox and fillers at a much younger age now.
01:19:16.000Like I always talk about my mom with this.
01:19:19.000It seems like now the age that they're trying to prime you to say that Botox, you need to get it is like 22, 23, where it used to be.
01:19:41.000It's intentionally being done by these big tech companies to convince women to start looking more and more plastic and fake, so that way when the androids start integrating into society, no one will know the difference!
01:19:53.000No, I honestly thought for a while it was because it's trying to make everyone's face look more the same.
01:19:58.000Because if you get surgery- like, I think I referenced this tweet once, but there were some girls like, I asked my surgeon if the Botox I got on my face is gonna make me- how many years it's gonna take off me.
01:20:06.000He's like, no, you'll just look the same as everyone else who has Botox who's your age.
01:20:10.000And these things can tend to come in trends, right?
01:20:12.000So, like, right now they were all getting the fat taken out of their mouths, which makes the cheekbones more prominent.
01:20:16.000Or, you know, maybe they'll all want eyebrow lifts, so they'll all do their- like, some of it is makeup, some of it's the same way.
01:20:21.000But then when you're doing this face technology, it's because all the faces are averaging out to be the same thing, but not in a good way.
01:20:27.000So, I love this, uh, this trope about, like, old people pulling their pants up really high.
01:20:33.000We used to have this in, like, the 90s.
01:20:34.000The TV shows would always make fun of old people.
01:20:36.000There was one where, like, I can't remember what cartoon it is, but it's like the character gets turned into an old man and as soon as he does, his pants go straight up to his armpits.
01:21:21.000Everyone's face changes a little bit as they age, but all of the women who get Botox or anything else, that stuff has to be maintained or it shifts.
01:21:29.000I mean, you see this over and over again with celebrities who have had bad work done or just work done really early.
01:21:35.000They have to continue to go under the knife or go under the needle, I guess, to get it maintained, which means, to your point, they're always paying for it.
01:21:44.000Let alone the fact that like some of the augmentations that you can get done can cause you, you know, different issues.
01:21:48.000Your body can reject, you know, breast implants or whatever.
01:21:51.000They're making it so you're medically dependent for a long time because you're always trying to look younger and the fads that change are all- the fads always change so you're constantly trying to adjust your face to fit in with the youngest generation.
01:22:03.000I think it's the irony, or I guess paradox, of feminism because I'm sure they say, oh, I can do whatever I want with my face.
01:22:47.000But I think it's sort of like transgender-inspired.
01:22:49.000I know that's a weird thing to say, but I I think if you look at some of the surgeries and the stuff that they're getting done, it is the same thing.
01:22:56.000It's to make masculine and feminine faces look more similar.
01:22:59.000It's the same stuff that male to female transgender people get.
01:23:06.000It's like if you make it so all the women's faces look the same and they look actually like they have some masculine tendencies, you're normalizing people who are like, I'm actually going to live this way.
01:23:14.000It makes femininity easier to achieve when the concept of being a feminine woman is like You know, the bimbo look of huge lips, huge brows, big cheeks, because then guys can do that too, right?
01:23:28.000The other part is that women, just like people come out and say, I regret, you know, genital alteration surgeries, there are people who come out and say, I regret having this worked into my face.
01:23:37.000This was Bella Hadid somewhat recently who said, you know, I had this nose job, I think when she was like 16, pretty young, and she said the nose that I had was reflective of my culture and ancestry and I wish that I hadn't have changed it.
01:23:49.000The things that women are doing to feel like they are achieving the Instagram level of beauty is so disconnected from reality that if they unplug from it, I think that they wouldn't hate themselves so much.
01:23:59.000I mean, it looks like she got lip fillers, doesn't it?
01:24:01.000She got lip fillers because it looks like the shape of her lip changed.
01:24:05.000She got her brows, I think, microbladed.
01:24:10.000I do think, you know, a lot of women, their faces look fat, but it's too dramatic.
01:24:17.000She said all these videos are false but never explicitly said I never got surgery and so a lot of people responded being like stop lying But there are like videos from plastic surgeons being like dude.
01:24:28.000She didn't get surgery It's like she was saying that she got her contours done or whatever.
01:24:52.000I would also argue that, like, she looks like she's had a brow lift, because, like, the hooding on her eyes seems different to me, in a way that's not just like, oh, I got older, my face changed, like, It's too dramatic.
01:25:04.000It's wild that she took this photo of herself and she was like, I look good, and then she posted it.
01:25:45.000You're at a bar, and she's on her phone, and you look over and she's watching Tucker Carlson interview Vladimir Putin, and you're like, what is that?
01:26:45.000But I feel like women perceive what...
01:26:47.000When women think, what is attractive, they're looking at it from a very female perspective.
01:26:51.000In other words, what girls consider attractive is different from guys.
01:26:54.000And I think in some ways, I don't think that that is attractive at all, but what women have been told is attractive coming from, I guess, a big beauty, I don't know what the right term would be, but is that look.
01:27:37.000I think this is the problem with, you know, she got upset with Megyn Kelly because women are not supposed to attack her, be mean to other women.
01:27:43.000But I think true friendship would be able to say like, hey, I don't think that's the best look for you.
01:27:47.000I don't know that you need to go get all of these fillers.
01:27:52.000Well, maybe women, women friendship, man friendship would be like, oh, what did you do to your face, bro?
01:27:59.000She's doing more harm to young women by passing that off as natural and acting like People have noses like that and your brows could be that full and your hair could look like that and you're like, or that growing up three to four years, you're going to look that different.
01:28:15.000That is a much more harmful narrative than women pointing out, hey, you made some really dumb decisions.
01:28:21.000You messed up your, again, we weren't saying she was ugly to begin with.
01:28:24.000I think the real tragedy in the story is that she was a very beautiful girl.
01:28:28.000Yeah, but her argument is she didn't get surgery.
01:28:35.000Like, this is- No, no, no, this is the point.
01:28:37.000She said she did not- But that's not how people age.
01:28:39.000She did not get surgery, she got makeup done, and everyone's posting a picture of her when she was young saying she was beautiful, and then a picture of when she's old saying she's ugly.
01:29:48.000Unnecessary I feel like it clouds the the woman like it kind of I agree 1,000% and I think part of the critique is that a lot of the times I really don't think you look better Like I said, I think it is refinement culture to some extent like yeah, your lips will be a different shade but different isn't always better and I think to I think a lot of these, this is what I've sort of learned, you know, the toxic chemicals and the endocrine disruptors and all the phthalates and all these products aside, like, it really is just an industry that preys on the vulnerabilities and insecurities of women.
01:30:21.000And that's why I think the real irony in how you see it really be weaponized That prevailing narrative, right, that women do makeup for themselves, which is BS.
01:31:19.000That was the beginning of transhumanism.
01:31:20.000But there really is a difference though, and not to get too in the weeds with makeup, you guys don't strike me as the makeup tutorial type, but like, There's a difference between I think putting on like darker lipstick and like lining your lips and mascara.
01:31:33.000That is like enhancing your natural beauty.
01:31:35.000But what you really saw with the Kardashians and the shift in this was this concept of contouring, which is literally adding different shades and hollowing out parts of your face.
01:31:45.000To change, not enhance, but to entirely change your face.
01:31:49.000And when you see those crazy YouTube tutorials of like the different shades of colors, the shades of brown around the eyes.
01:31:57.000But there's some that say like, I remember there's a tutorial and it's like how to look like you had a nose job without actually getting nose job.
01:32:02.000And it's like her really intensely using all kinds of shades to change her nose.
01:32:07.000And at a certain point you want to be like, What are you going to do when you have to take that off?
01:32:32.000I really think that the trans community, I'm not saying it's the individual trans people, but whatever the agenda, those nefarious forces, I think they loved the commodification of womanhood and femininity as orange foundation with really hollowed out cheekbones.
01:32:57.000And the rise of the Kardashians To me, it coincides with the rise of male YouTube makeup artists getting really popular, who would do these really strong contours, who would have these really block brows.
01:33:09.000And that look is somewhere between the Kardashians and drag, and it sort of stayed that way and became trendy among young girls.
01:33:15.000What I love is, if you're a male YouTube makeup guy, you probably are more likely to get sponsored.
01:33:22.000You're more likely to get sponsored by a makeup company because makeup companies had 50% of the potential market share because only women do it.
01:33:31.000And so their mentality is, if we convince men to wear makeup, we will double our market share.
01:33:37.000And so, and you get a bunch of male influencers.
01:33:39.000You go into Sephora now, and there used to never really be pictures of men.
01:34:20.000But we may do these live events in Martinsburg, West Virginia once a month.
01:34:25.000And then maybe if we feel like we might do more than that, who knows?
01:34:28.000Depending on, uh, depends on how successful they are.
01:34:30.000But we will read your superchats for now, so smash that like button, let's go!
01:34:34.000Tim Jake says, your broadcast is up early today.
01:34:36.000Now sometimes, this depends on if we know what the story is, and it's easy to do.
01:34:40.000So we're up here before doing pre-production, choosing story selection, what's the top story, things like this, and, uh, this one's obvious.
01:34:47.000Tucker Carlson news was huge that you sanctions and then of course we're waiting for that interview to drop and then you had these viral tweets to the tune of like five to ten million hits on Twitter claiming he was on this hit list so we definitely want to address that.
01:36:19.000The Democrats are going to say that, of course, because all the Democratic justices care about is whether or not they gain power for their cult.
01:36:26.000The conservatives are going to be like, we are honorable and have integrity, and the Constitution says the states are in charge.
01:37:06.000And like, Dana Lasher's outside and everyone's like all gawking at her, all these leftists are like, look who it is, it's her, she's evil.
01:37:11.000And I was like, I don't like the idea of all this unlimited spending in politics because it just means the wealthy have instant access that regular working people don't.
01:37:20.000And then some guy said to me, he was like, you have money on you?
01:37:23.000And he was like, OK, you can't spend it on these products.
01:39:26.000Justin SLA says, Daria Dugina is marked as liquidated on that list.
01:39:32.000Yeah, a lot of people are pointing out the list that Tucker Carlson is on has a bunch of people and they're described as liquidated when they die.
01:40:51.000Gamer J says, if the border protection bill included an allowance of 5,000 Russians into Ukraine daily and 5,000 Palestinians into Israel per day, they would all vote against it, including the media.
01:41:21.000Like, if this is something that's so urgent, these countries desperately need funding.
01:41:25.000Why wouldn't you compromise and vote on a standalone bill?
01:41:28.000Instead, it's like, no, everything has to be lumped together so we can sneak these weird provisions in.
01:41:33.000The difficult thing is they tried to do a standalone Israel aid package, but fiscal Republicans were like, no way we're not funding Israel.
01:41:43.000But the strategy there was to force the Democrats to reject it.
01:41:48.000And I guess they sort of got that because it was voted down and it was only 14 Republicans, but that's kind of the idea.
01:41:55.000Now, Democrats are going to have to explain to most people why they're choosing the path they're choosing and opposing Israel.
01:42:05.000I just don't think they could say anything that would make sense, but maybe I'm just optimistic on their voter base.
01:43:30.000I am happy to say that when Destiny and I were talking about, you know, gender ideology and things like that, I had many facts that were wrong, and we corrected them on the air and had our discussion to determine what we thought was right and wrong.
01:43:41.000And I respect Destiny, though I think he's wrong.
01:43:45.000I think we agree a lot on facts, but I think he has bad moral opinions.
01:43:50.000The rest of the left, they just make things up and then claim other people make things up.
01:43:54.000My favorite thing was, you know, I gave that shout out to Taylor Lorenz, when she was like, Tim Poole's not a journalist, he only comments on other people's stuff, and he's dishonest.
01:44:02.000So I'm kind of like, okay, if I'm only referencing other people's journalism, you're saying these journalists are putting out fake news.
01:44:10.000I'm being dishonest by reporting on what they've said, is basically her point.
01:44:44.000What do you think Taylor Lorenz would say if you went to her and said there are serious concerns that China was taking people's DNA through COVID tests to create a DNA database?
01:45:13.000But you know she's gonna be like, that's not true, that's a cons... I think anything you would present as from you, she would disagree upon its face because there's... But none of it's from me.
01:45:32.000Well, NPR must have brought this up to dissuade, like, I just think that there's a level of not wanting to ever have a conversation with anyone from the other side.
01:45:41.000Like, when Taylor Lorenz doxed libs of TikTok, it was unquestionable doxing.
01:45:47.000Literally posting an address, and then claiming, but that's not her current real address, and it's just like an address she once used, so it's like, dude.
01:45:55.000No one is arguing the depth of doxing.
01:45:58.000No one is arguing it's 3rd degree doxing versus 7th degree doxing.
01:46:02.000We're saying, you posted an address, which very well could have been hers at the time, and in fact was hers, and she had fled from it.
01:46:11.000So it's like, but I didn't dox her because she wasn't there.
01:46:19.000Apparently, after we put up that billboard, I teamed up with the Daily Wire guys to put a billboard in Times Square that said, Taylor Lorenz doxed libs of TikTok.
01:46:26.000Apparently, I hear, behind the scenes, she was, like, fuming and demanding, like, legal action, and they told her they couldn't do anything.
01:52:22.000And then Luke is sitting there, and then he just looks at his friend and goes, he goes on his show all the time, but he never goes on his show.
01:52:28.000And then we all started busting out laughing.
01:56:54.000Mike Gibson says Rush Limbaugh used to say that you can always tell what the left is planning based on the accusations they make of their opposition.
01:57:32.000Jake Beardsley says, my son's kindergarten class is teaching about segregation and his best friend in school got very upset because he thought he couldn't be friends with my son because he's white.
01:58:48.000And it's because there's a lot of pop trash getting created at that time, and it just looked like another pop trash where everyone's like, I love it, it's so great!
01:59:49.000See, I only remember the first maybe two, but I also remember them vividly because I saw them in theater, and I think now this like, oh, we're gonna release a bunch of stuff in the Netflix era is very different.
02:00:02.000Like, the experience of watching, like seeing, if you haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean, I don't know what to tell you, but the scene when they're on the deck and the moonlight comes through and like the pirate crew is skeletons, like, I remember that so vividly in that experience in Surround Sound.
02:00:16.000I really think Moving to streaming is one of the things that's changing the way we make movies today.
02:00:20.000Yeah, and it's killing the movie star.
02:00:23.000You know, I'm on Netflix or Amazon, and there's a movie, and it's like... They make fun of Gina Carano because they said the movie she starred in with Daily Wire, Domestic Gross, is in the tens of thousands.
02:00:33.000And it's like, right, it wasn't a movie in theaters.
