Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Tucker Carlson Alleged To Be On KILL LIST Over Putin Interview, Faces EU SANCTIONS | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 A viral tweet going around.

00:00:07.000 In 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.

00:00:17.000 Man, there is a lot to break down here.

00:00:19.000 It's kind of hard to title.

00:00:21.000 A show like this, we only get so many characters because it's half true and technically not true.

00:00:27.000 He wasn't just placed on this list.

00:00:28.000 He's been on this list for a long time.

00:00:30.000 And it's not literally a kill list, but it is effectively a target list.

00:00:34.000 Tucker Carlson has already been on it.

00:00:36.000 Because 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.

00:00:44.000 But 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.

00:00:57.000 Several members of EU Parliament have expressed their intention to have him reviewed, as it were.

00:01:02.000 It seems like a long shot, but it is very interesting.

00:01:06.000 And it brings up a very interesting point, which I'm going to just say it bluntly.

00:01:12.000 Why does anyone care that Tucker Carlson interviewed the president of a country we are not at war with?

00:01:18.000 Because the answer is obvious.

00:01:20.000 We are at war with Russia. 0.74

00:01:23.000 And they are now outraged that an American journalist, Tucker Carlson, is interviewing the president of a country we're at war with.

00:01:32.000 And that's it.

00:01:33.000 I 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.

00:01:38.000 Chuck Schumer recently said we could lose this war, and that's why they're mad.

00:01:42.000 They have unilaterally engaged in a war without congressional approval, without declaration, and they're trying to hide it from the American people.

00:01:50.000 But I think the sentiment is there.

00:01:50.000 And we all knew.

00:01:52.000 And it's fairly obvious.

00:01:53.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:54.000 Plus a bunch of other stories.

00:01:56.000 They're very interesting.

00:01:57.000 The border bill has been crushed.

00:01:59.000 That, uh, it's gone.

00:02:01.000 Uh, Bernie Sanders says he won't support a bill with Israel, and now, of course, bro, you really gotta stop.

00:02:07.000 Like, come on, bro, it's so loud, and you're sipping into the microphone!

00:02:07.000 Really?

00:02:11.000 Oh, my bad.

00:02:12.000 Jeez!

00:02:12.000 Okay, tell me, bro, Bernie, sorry about that.

00:02:14.000 I've totally lost my train of thought as you're slurping three cans into the microphone.

00:02:18.000 I'm clicking them off the- You're slurping into the microphone, bro!

00:02:21.000 No, I'm just talking!

00:02:22.000 Sorry about that.

00:02:22.000 I could totally hear you.

00:02:24.000 I don't even know what I was talking about.

00:02:25.000 You broke my train of thought when I was trying to talk about Tucker Carlson.

00:02:31.000 You're cracking open cans.

00:02:33.000 Bernie said he wouldn't support a bill that funds Israel.

00:03:49.000 Thank you so much for having me.

00:03:50.000 Who are you?

00:03:51.000 What do you do?

00:03:52.000 I am the co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room, also an investigative reporter.

00:03:57.000 And 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.

00:04:06.000 So it's been fun.

00:04:07.000 Right on.

00:04:08.000 She's adding entrepreneur to her resume.

00:04:10.000 Congratulations.

00:04:11.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:04:12.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

00:04:14.000 That's Scanner News.

00:04:15.000 I'm really grateful to be a part of that team.

00:04:17.000 I'm the best Ian Crosland on earth.

00:04:17.000 Ian's here.

00:04:19.000 What's happening?

00:04:19.000 Dude, Tim was not lying.

00:04:20.000 I have three drinks.

00:04:22.000 He's cracking open all three.

00:04:24.000 Reminds me of that scene from Family Guy where Stewie's in the attic with Anne Frank and he's eating chips really slowly.

00:04:30.000 And they're like, what are you doing?

00:04:32.000 And he's like, and we were talking about Israel.

00:04:34.000 It all comes full circle.

00:04:37.000 But they're delicious.

00:04:38.000 It's two spindrifts and a kombucha.

00:04:39.000 I'm going to mix them all together like the alchemist I am.

00:04:41.000 Great to see you, Natalie.

00:04:42.000 Tim, I love you.

00:04:43.000 Hannah-Claire, it's really good to see you again.

00:04:44.000 It's been a while.

00:04:45.000 And Serge, what's happening, brother?

00:04:45.000 Yeah, it has.

00:04:48.000 You were talking about Israel and something about spindrift.

00:04:50.000 I don't know.

00:04:51.000 Anyways, I'm at Serge.com.

00:04:53.000 Let's get into it, Tim.

00:04:54.000 Here's the first story.

00:04:55.000 This 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.

00:05:09.000 But then I realized the gravity of some of these tweets.

00:05:11.000 You'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.

00:05:25.000 Juanita Broderick says this POS dictator Zelensky has put Tucker Carlson on a kill list for interviewing Putin.

00:05:33.000 Biden has helped him with your tax dollars.

00:05:35.000 This is incorrect.

00:05:37.000 Okay.

00:05:38.000 Cat Turd says this should disqualify this corrupt POS from getting another dime from our country. 0.99

00:05:43.000 The challenge here is it's a massively viral story that is half wrong, half right.

00:05:51.000 No Ukrainian government official, according to the fact check, has placed Tucker Carlson on this list.

00:05:57.000 In fact, this website has had Tucker Carlson on the list going back to August.

00:06:02.000 So he wasn't just placed on it, and it wasn't because of the interview with Vladimir Putin.

00:06:08.000 Now, to be fair, Oneida Broderick did not say because, or actually no, she literally did say for interviewing Putin.

00:06:15.000 It appears that there is another entry placed because of following this interview with Putin.

00:06:20.000 Now 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.

00:06:33.000 It's literally not, but it kind of is.

00:06:36.000 You know what I mean?

00:06:38.000 If 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.

00:06:47.000 And of course, it has been reported that many people who do appear on the list do have been killed.

00:06:53.000 You 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.

00:06:59.000 Because it's gone a little bit crazy on social media.

00:07:02.000 That being said, I want to highlight something that, you know, I thought I had this pulled up, but now it's gone.

00:07:09.000 Come on, Ian, with your cans!

00:07:09.000 Totally lost it.

00:07:11.000 Taking a sip for that one.

00:07:13.000 Absolutely.

00:07:13.000 Yeah, what happened to this story that we had pulled?

00:07:15.000 It's just gone.

00:07:16.000 It's literally gone.

00:07:17.000 So you've got NBC News.

00:07:18.000 Oh, perhaps it's right here.

00:07:20.000 We got it, we got it, we got it.

00:07:22.000 There we go.

00:07:23.000 NBC News, last March, Iowa police investigated a bomb threat targeting a junior high school.

00:07:27.000 They 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.

00:07:35.000 Here's why I want to put these stories together, okay?

00:07:38.000 Tucker Carlson has been on a list since August.

00:07:40.000 He has another entry added to the list.

00:07:42.000 It appears, I could be wrong, it could be the same, it looks different.

00:07:45.000 Following his interview with Vladimir Putin, he certainly is under a heightened security threat.

00:07:50.000 He's probably getting death threats.

00:07:52.000 These fact checkers on the community note say, it's not a kill list, it's not a kill list.

00:07:56.000 The corporate press then claims, libs of TikTok, same day, today, is inspiring bomb threats by targeting individuals.

00:08:05.000 So 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.

00:08:15.000 They're not a killist.

00:08:16.000 But 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.

00:08:23.000 They call it stochastic terrorism.

00:08:25.000 This is a tactic of the left, where they accuse the right.

00:08:29.000 When the right says, hey, I am critical of your thing, they call it stochastic terrorism.

00:08:33.000 Then when Tucker Carlson is placed in the crosshairs, they say, no, it's totally fine.

00:08:37.000 They're just saying, you know, he's a, he's a, he's a propagandist.

00:08:40.000 But the outrage is crazy.

00:08:41.000 I don't know what you guys think of, uh, the corporate press so far and their entertaining posts about Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin.

00:08:48.000 It's complete hysterics, isn't it?

00:08:49.000 It's kind of wild.

00:08:51.000 I 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?

00:09:03.000 And at the same time, they're sort of condemning him for talking to Putin.

00:09:05.000 You have to say, what do you guys want?

00:09:07.000 Did you guys want to have the exclusive or are you mad that he's doing this?

00:09:10.000 Well, how about this?

00:09:11.000 Any 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.

00:09:20.000 And it happens to be that Americans who have ended up on that list have been basically killed by the Ukrainian government.

00:09:26.000 And I think people don't understand the lengths to which the regime has gone to cover up what

00:09:32.000 is going on in Ukraine.

00:09:33.000 And I think why you're seeing these crazy numbers in some ways, I think it's sort of

00:09:36.000 the the stry sand effect as cliche as cliche as that may sound.

00:09:39.000 But look, they don't want Tucker Carlson to interview Putin, I would say look no further

00:09:43.000 than the fact that it was less than a week after Russia invaded Ukraine back in February,

00:09:49.000 that the Pentagon again, they never publicly announced it, but they I believe was the intercept

00:09:54.000 through through FOIA got documents showing that they established or reestablished the

00:09:59.000 Influence and Perception Management Office, which they basically use to spread basically

00:10:05.000 misinformation and disinformation.

00:10:06.000 They say counter misinformation and disinformation.

00:10:09.000 Not just abroad, but domestically here at home, too.

00:10:12.000 And 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.

00:10:31.000 So I think that's why you're seeing Such a mad rush to really keep what's going on there under wraps.

00:10:38.000 So 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.

00:10:53.000 So it's kind of just like... Take the fact checkers here.

00:10:55.000 Well, 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.

00:11:05.000 And the government uses contractors.

00:11:09.000 It would be absurd to be like, oh, no, they're not CIA.

00:11:12.000 They're just a contractor for the CIA.

00:11:14.000 They're a totally private entity.

00:11:15.000 They're not associated with the government.

00:11:17.000 The president's not involved.

00:11:19.000 They just sometimes coordinate, you know what I mean?

00:11:21.000 And we pay the bills on occasion.

00:11:22.000 But have there been American citizens who are on this list and killed?

00:11:27.000 I 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.

00:11:33.000 I'd have to imagine he's been on their list.

00:11:35.000 And then they hunted him down and now he's reportedly dead.

00:11:38.000 My 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.

00:11:49.000 But it's not a government website.

00:11:53.000 It more or less.

00:11:53.000 I 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.

00:12:02.000 It's like, well, I guess they're technically not, but I think that's precisely the point.

00:12:05.000 They like to be able to play that kind of shell game.

00:12:07.000 Say, oh, well, it's technically not the government, but by all intents and purposes it is.

00:12:12.000 It is acting in the interest of the government and probably has some kind of, you know, intermediary.

00:12:16.000 That's fascism.

00:12:18.000 It's fascism, man.

00:12:19.000 It's why it's so hard to combat because you can't really see it a lot of times, especially in the age of corporatism.

00:12:24.000 I just love how they're like, it's not a kill list, okay?

00:12:27.000 Just some people on it have been killed.

00:12:29.000 There is a difference.

00:12:30.000 But there is a difference.

00:12:31.000 That's true.

00:12:32.000 But it's kind of like, yo, they're putting crosshairs over to Carlson.

00:12:34.000 I 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.

00:12:39.000 How 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.

00:12:45.000 They don't know where that money went.

00:12:47.000 Exactly.

00:12:47.000 They're never gonna audit it.

00:12:49.000 Yeah.

00:12:50.000 No, for real, wasn't it reported like half the money?

00:12:52.000 No, they actually do not know where it is.

00:12:54.000 And 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.

00:13:02.000 It 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

00:13:12.000 were actually a boon to the United States economy. It was great for the manufacturing base. It

00:13:16.000 was great for jobs, just the most bogus BS narrative you've ever heard. But a month, two months

00:13:22.000 later, you can look back at some of the stories. All these media outlets started running

00:13:26.000 with this narrative, basically saying, Oh, Ukraine contracts. Oh.

00:13:31.000 Oh, it's great for, you know, it's great for the defense contractors.

00:13:35.000 Yeah, I guess it's great for the Beltway.

00:13:36.000 But 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.

00:13:44.000 If you traced it from what they were saying in Politico all the way to these newspapers.

00:13:48.000 So they've obviously have been working overtime to really create this.

00:13:52.000 And I think, too, it's really interesting.

00:13:54.000 There's this entity in D.C.

00:13:55.000 called the U.S.

00:13:56.000 Ukraine Business Council.

00:13:58.000 It's sort of like a lobbying group.

00:14:00.000 But again, they play a little bit of semantics when they say we're technically we're not registered foreign lobbyists.

00:14:05.000 But 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.

00:14:14.000 So there really is this, I think, maybe like Chinese door is that's the wrong country sort of 0.98

00:14:19.000 a good way to put it.

00:14:20.000 But when you're dealing with Ukraine, I think especially now that they're that they're at war,

00:14:25.000 it's like there really is no meaningful difference, I think, between what the country is doing when

00:14:29.000 they're sort of tangentially related to the government and it not being a direct

00:14:33.000 asset of the government. But frankly, even I'm sure you guys remember how FTX was partnered,

00:14:39.000 I believe it was with the Ministry of Digital Transformation in Ukraine, that story,

00:14:43.000 like even if you want to go down the route of going down specific Ukrainian government entities

00:14:47.000 that have been caught up in corruption, there are, I would say dozens of those avenues that

00:14:52.000 you could pursue too. But the media is never going to do that. So they're just going to play

00:14:56.000 word semantics with like kill list first not try to kind of straw man or I guess maybe still

00:15:01.000 Because they're still trying to rebrand Ukraine as a sympathetic country that is justified in getting billions of American dollars.

00:15:08.000 And a sympathetic country like Ukraine would not be capable of having a kill list because They're democracy, right?

00:15:13.000 If Ukraine loses, like, they are the bastion of democracy.

00:15:16.000 It is kind of funny that Ukraine is literally the opposite of democracy.

00:15:20.000 Yeah. 0.93

00:15:20.000 They'll just kill you if you're in the way. 0.93

00:15:22.000 They're suspending the elections.

00:15:24.000 Hey, when the Washington Post said democracy dies in darkness, it wasn't a warning.

00:15:24.000 Yeah.

00:15:28.000 They were telling you their playbook.

00:15:30.000 That's what they want to do.

00:15:31.000 Well, here's the other big news.

00:15:32.000 We have this from Scanner, scnr.com.

00:15:35.000 EU considers sanctioning Tucker Carlson over interview with Vladimir Putin.

00:15:40.000 Officials 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.

00:15:52.000 Lawmakers in the EU are weighing sanctioning news media heavyweight Tucker Carlson as a result of his forthcoming interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

00:15:59.000 Kremlin 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.

00:16:10.000 EU officials are considering imposing a travel ban on Carlson, who they say is acting as a mouthpiece for Putin.

00:16:16.000 Quote, 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.

00:16:26.000 There's an important takeaway from this, I mentioned it in the introduction to the show.

00:16:30.000 Why 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?

00:16:39.000 Are they gonna cry and complain?

00:16:41.000 Xi Jinping came to California or came to the United States?

00:16:44.000 No, they don't care?

00:16:46.000 Oh.

00:16:47.000 It's because the reality is we are at war with Russia.

00:16:50.000 And what's going on in Ukraine is just the U.S.

00:16:53.000 using them as a proxy to go to war with Russia.

00:16:56.000 We all know it.

00:16:57.000 Everyone in Europe knows it.

00:16:58.000 Chuck Schumer said we could lose this war.

00:17:01.000 And so there it is, right in front of your face.

00:17:03.000 The fascinating thing is at least when we invaded Iraq, we knew that we were going to war. 0.86

00:17:08.000 They said it.

00:17:09.000 Since then, I think the Deep State, the establishment has just figured out, don't say you're going to war.

00:17:15.000 Just do it.

00:17:16.000 Just go! 0.61

00:17:17.000 Here we are.

00:17:18.000 It's wild.

00:17:19.000 I 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.

00:17:28.000 And 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.

00:17:35.000 We definitely treat these two world powers very differently.

00:17:39.000 I think, you know, it's obviously, in my opinion, brave and admirable that Tucker's going to interview someone who is controversial.

00:17:46.000 I 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.

00:17:58.000 I think they are ultimately feeding a lot of propaganda to their own people.

00:18:02.000 And if we're not at war, then what could Putin say?

00:18:05.000 You 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?

00:18:11.000 If the Russians were the aggressors and we wanted this war to end, then diplomacy would be good. 0.99

00:18:16.000 You could go talk to him, maybe he would stop fighting.

00:18:18.000 But they seem to not want diplomacy, which indicates that maybe we're the aggressors here.

00:18:24.000 And 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.

00:18:33.000 I think they don't want transparency.

00:18:35.000 I think, you know, there were all these stories for a while. 0.58

00:18:37.000 Vladimir Putin is super sick and he's going to die at any second and that will cause chaos.

00:18:41.000 And Russia is going into an election year. 0.99

00:18:44.000 If someone were to, you know, speak to Putin and say, are you sick?

00:18:48.000 You know, maybe he'd lie, but at least you would have a Western outlet asking a question instead of it coming telephone through Europe.

00:18:54.000 I think the ultimate goal is to make it so Russia is too far out of touch for anyone to communicate with. 0.99

00:19:01.000 And 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.

00:19:09.000 Believe us.

00:19:09.000 Don't question it at all.

00:19:10.000 And 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.

00:19:24.000 These have all, organizations and these journalists have all partnered with Chinese state-run media outlets.

00:19:30.000 I'm pretty sure Tucker said that they've reached out To Zelensky to try to interview him, but they haven't heard anything back.

00:19:36.000 But 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.

00:19:45.000 And 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.

00:20:01.000 But a lot of those people, the authors behind it, you know, are luminaries.

00:20:06.000 I 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.

00:20:13.000 But 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.

00:20:21.000 So part of it, I think, is ideological compromise.

00:20:23.000 They 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.

00:20:33.000 Well, we have one of the greatest tweets ever in the history of Twitter, and it is here.

00:20:37.000 Glenn Greenwald tweeted, Who were the American journalists who conducted even minimally

00:20:41.000 adversarial interviews with Zelensky? 0.99

00:20:43.000 To which Elon Musk responded, To be fair, it's hard for them to talk while giving a blowjob 1.00

00:20:47.000 at the same time. 0.98

00:20:48.000 And that may be one of the greatest tweets ever made.

00:20:53.000 And 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.

00:21:06.000 We do, we do have this from EndWokeness.

00:21:09.000 A very pressing and important interview from CNN with Zelensky of Ukraine.

00:21:15.000 I'd like to play for you now this very, very important interview.

00:21:19.000 As a human being, so many people look up to you.

00:21:23.000 They rely on you.

00:21:25.000 No one can imagine how hard that is.

00:21:26.000 Do you do anything to yourself?

00:21:30.000 Are you ever able to take a minute to read or to listen to music or something to sort of give yourself that moment?

00:21:39.000 I have such moments, it's important to be in silence, to be alone, and early, early in the morning, when there are no sounds.

00:21:48.000 No people, nobody, I mean the people, people, our staff, I mean, no.

00:21:52.000 Okay, well clearly I think they added the music to that one, but it is still funny.

00:21:56.000 I was like, wow, if the music is really on that, that's amazing.

00:21:59.000 Did they mess with the editing to get the close-ups of her face looking sad?

00:22:03.000 Because that is cringey. 0.99

00:22:04.000 That is ridiculous. 0.88

00:22:07.000 Yeah, all that's an edit. 0.70

00:22:08.000 The questions from Erin Burnett, that is really what she's asking.

00:22:12.000 It is the least adversarial thing we have ever seen, and that is what they expect of you.

00:22:17.000 As a human being.

00:22:19.000 That's what you call humanizing someone.

00:22:20.000 So they're humanizing Zelensky.

00:22:22.000 That's a tactic.

00:22:23.000 That's right.

00:22:24.000 And everyone looks up to him.

00:22:26.000 So it's a very fair and even interview.

00:22:29.000 I don't think I've ever looked up to Zelensky.

00:22:31.000 I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm not sure who she's referencing here.

00:22:33.000 I think you've probably looked up to him.

00:22:35.000 Here we go, here we go.

00:22:36.000 Zelensky reveals his favorite band.

00:22:38.000 Who is it?

00:22:39.000 Three Dog Night.

00:22:40.000 Ukrainian... I'll just play it. 0.93

00:22:43.000 I think I'm pretty at this.

00:22:44.000 You know, if he likes Three Dog Night, I'm giving him a chance.

00:22:46.000 We got an ad.

00:22:47.000 A birth control ad.

00:22:48.000 Oh, nice.

00:22:49.000 Thank you, CNN.

00:22:49.000 Thank you.

00:22:51.000 Hey, you got to pay your dues if you want to watch CNN, OK?

00:22:54.000 If you pay extra and you're one of the rich ones, they won't force feed this birth control commercials down your throat.

00:22:59.000 What is that?

00:22:59.000 I don't know what it was.

00:23:00.000 It might up birth control. 1.00

00:23:01.000 It was Pfizer.

00:23:02.000 People look up to you.

00:23:04.000 They rely on you.

00:23:06.000 No one can imagine how hard that is.

00:23:07.000 Do you do anything for your to yourself?

00:23:11.000 Are you ever able to take a minute to?

00:23:14.000 She's going to cry?

00:23:16.000 She looks like she's going to!

00:23:18.000 That's horrible.

00:23:19.000 A moment.

00:23:20.000 I have such moments, important to be in silence, to be alone.

00:23:25.000 How can I be alone?

00:23:26.000 Alone, I can be with music, through or with a book.

00:23:30.000 And early, early in the morning when there are no sounds in...

00:23:35.000 No air raid sirens.

00:23:36.000 No people, nobody.

00:23:38.000 I mean the people, our staff.

00:23:40.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:23:41.000 I don't care to hear this.

00:23:42.000 Who's his favorite band?

00:23:43.000 What is it?

00:23:44.000 It says Classic Rock.

00:23:45.000 They want to make you watch this video.

00:23:47.000 I hope Tucker asked Vladimir Putin the same exact question verbatim.

00:23:52.000 He's like, the Bee Gees.

00:23:54.000 That'd be the best.

00:23:56.000 A Russian band.

00:23:57.000 Taylor Swift.

00:23:57.000 This guy's gonna name an American band or like a European band.

00:24:01.000 They're different people completely.

00:24:02.000 It's such a psyop even down to like what he's wearing, right?

00:24:06.000 He always has to be ready for battle.

00:24:07.000 He never takes off this uniform even though when he's traveling he's nowhere near any battlefield.

00:24:12.000 I don't think he's ever anywhere near the battlefield.

00:24:13.000 That's true.

00:24:14.000 I think this guy is a TV character.

00:24:16.000 He is.

00:24:18.000 Yeah, I mean he literally was.

00:24:19.000 He played the president on TV.

00:24:21.000 But I think, I don't think this guy's ever seen anything close to conflict.

00:24:25.000 They probably have in a secure location because he's basically, uh, you guys have seen Hunger Games, right?

00:24:31.000 Yeah.

00:24:31.000 In the second one, when they get Katniss out, you know, of the games, they're like, keep her in the basement and have her make videos.

00:24:38.000 They don't want her going to war because if she dies, she's their propaganda tool. 0.58

00:24:41.000 She's a rallying cry.

00:24:42.000 That's what they're trying to do with this guy.

00:24:44.000 I gotta be honest, he's the least inspiring guy they could have gotten.

00:24:46.000 I mean, seriously?

00:24:48.000 Couldn't they have gotten some, like, Dolph Lundgren-like type Ukrainian dude who's, like, filming propo videos on the front line?

00:24:56.000 Which one was him?

00:24:57.000 Well, 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. 0.89

00:25:05.000 Yeah.

00:25:05.000 I was gonna say, who was Hayden Panettiere married to?

00:25:08.000 She was married to a Ukrainian guy who was like, I'm going to the fields or whatever else.

00:25:12.000 Like, much better than Zelensky.

00:25:14.000 They need, like, a 6'5 ripped dude who's standing there, you know, holding a weapon, being like, as the president, I will make sure.

00:25:20.000 And then they film fake videos where he's on the front line leading the troops.

00:25:23.000 This is just some guy who's in a park all the time and he's, like, not doing anything.

00:25:27.000 Well, he walks around places that seem staged and well-lit, looking sort of sad and pensive.

00:25:31.000 And so really, in that sense, he's doing exactly what they need him to.

00:25:34.000 Remember that video that came out where the background was completely still and the trees weren't moving in the wind?

00:25:39.000 And they were like, people were like, yo, this looks like a green screen.

00:25:41.000 And they were like, no, no, it's not.

00:25:42.000 It's not a green screen.

00:25:43.000 What are you talking about?

00:25:44.000 You don't understand Ukraine.

00:25:45.000 In our culture, our trees don't move in the wind.

00:25:47.000 There is no wind.

00:25:48.000 Russia has stolen our wind. 0.96

00:25:51.000 The trees can't blow because they're mad at Russia.

00:25:54.000 That's the that's the state of the world.

00:25:56.000 They're still in protest for the things that we're suffering. 0.97

00:25:58.000 It just becomes so ridiculous. 0.89

00:25:59.000 And I think you're right. 0.79

00:26:00.000 The 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.

00:26:08.000 He has gone on so many international trips being like, please, money.

00:26:12.000 He's like a professional fundraiser for his country.

00:26:14.000 And it seems crazy that when Tucker Carlson is like, well, I want to talk to the other side.

00:26:18.000 Everyone's like, how could you do this?

00:26:20.000 Possible sanctions, like, you know, hysterics.

00:26:22.000 I 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.

00:26:41.000 There were some romantic undertones.

00:26:42.000 Right, 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!

00:26:49.000 She's mine! 0.98

00:26:50.000 Or it's Putin.

00:26:50.000 Or yeah, it's Putin.

00:26:53.000 He comes in, he's like, you cannot have her. 0.99

00:26:55.000 She is mine.

00:26:55.000 And then it just soap opera style, you know?

00:26:58.000 And then Aaron Burnett is like, Putin, you can't be here.

00:27:01.000 You died in that safari when your brother contracted malaria and then gave it to you.

00:27:06.000 No, I survived with this.

00:27:07.000 And then he holds up like a golden, the Holy Grail.

00:27:11.000 Didn't Justin Trudeau try to make fun of Putin?

00:27:14.000 He was at some international gathering of whoever cares, and there were these photos of, like, Putin shirtless on horseback that had come out.

00:27:22.000 You know, a little, you know, whatever, man.

00:27:24.000 Like, a little tryhard, but okay.

00:27:26.000 And Justin Trudeau tried to make fun of him for them.

00:27:28.000 He's like, maybe we should all take it. 0.89

00:27:29.000 It was just, like, the most ridiculous, obvious jealousy.

00:27:32.000 I 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.

00:27:45.000 Well, it's because we're at war.

00:27:47.000 I'm confused.

00:27:48.000 If 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.

00:27:57.000 They'd be like, uh, whatever.

00:27:59.000 But Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin, and we're at war with Russia, so naturally they're freaking out.

00:28:05.000 I want to know why.

00:28:06.000 I still want to know why we're still at war.

00:28:09.000 So was it to diminish Russia's power or is it to take control of the region?

00:28:13.000 Is it both?

00:28:14.000 I mean, it would be a both thing.

00:28:15.000 Well, it's both.

00:28:16.000 Like, is it really like to full military global dominance right now?

00:28:20.000 Because they're trying to do this new world order thing where they have all of us kind of technocratically bow to our overlord.

00:28:26.000 But like, why don't they just get the US and Russia to go along with it?

00:28:28.000 I don't understand why they're making them fight.

00:28:30.000 Russia's, well, it could be that Russia, it's all fake conflict. 0.74

00:28:33.000 I don't know.

00:28:34.000 I also just think it's such a double standard. I know I make everything about China. That's the 0.95

00:28:38.000 war room rubbing off on me. But, you know, it is really hypocritical. What was it just one or two 0.98

00:28:44.000 months ago that you know, you have Xi Jinping right coming to San Francisco, getting the red

00:28:48.000 carpet rolled out for him. And I think you make the point precisely.

00:28:53.000 It's like we're basically at war, right?

00:28:56.000 Russia-Ukraine, that's why it's not okay for Tucker to interview Putin.

00:29:01.000 So then China's obviously at war with us.

00:29:03.000 Yeah, it's not necessarily kinetic.

00:29:04.000 It's more of the unrestricted warfare type, certainly information warfare.

00:29:08.000 So 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?

00:29:16.000 It's such a double standard and it goes back to the original premise which is that it's all about narrative control and suppression.

00:29:24.000 Well, perhaps.

00:29:25.000 What will happen come November is Donald Trump wins.

00:29:29.000 But in the meantime, let's jump to this very hilarious story from NBC News.

00:29:33.000 Nikki Haley loses to none of these candidates in the Nevada GOP primary.

00:29:38.000 That's right.

00:29:40.000 Nikki Haley was running in the primary.

00:29:41.000 She took it very, very seriously.

00:29:43.000 She did.

00:29:44.000 Wait till you see the clip we're going to play from an interview.

00:29:47.000 And she lost to none.

00:29:50.000 That's right, she lost to no one.

00:29:52.000 Quite literally, like, no one beat her.

00:29:54.000 No, no, no, like, quote, no one, end quote, beat her. 1.00

00:29:57.000 Like, when people were given the choice between Nikki Haley and someone else, anybody, please, not her.

00:30:02.000 Somebody, anybody, please not her, won!

00:30:04.000 And so it's been an excellent day of memes.

00:30:07.000 Andrew Klavan said, uh, don't make fun of her for losing to none of these candidates.

00:30:11.000 None of these candidates ran a great campaign and none of these candidates is qualified to be the President of the United States.

00:30:17.000 Very clever.

00:30:18.000 But, um, where's that, uh, here we go.

00:30:21.000 Let me play this clip for you so you can hear it for yourself what she had to say.

00:30:27.000 Does that situation in Nevada hurt a little bit?

00:30:29.000 No.

00:30:29.000 I mean, Nevada, it's such a scam.

00:30:32.000 They were supposed to have a primary.

00:30:34.000 Trump rigged it so that the GOP chairman, who's been indicted, would go and create a caucus.

00:30:40.000 We knew months ago that we weren't going to spend a day or a dollar in Nevada because it wasn't worth it.

00:30:46.000 And so we didn't even count Nevada.

00:30:48.000 That wasn't anything we were looking at.

00:30:50.000 We knew that it was rigged.

00:30:52.000 Oh, I love, oh, it was rigged.

00:30:53.000 From the start.

00:30:54.000 It was rigged from the start.

00:30:55.000 Trump rigged it.

00:30:56.000 She's an election denier. 1.00

00:30:57.000 I 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.

00:31:06.000 Like, who cares?

00:31:07.000 It was rigged. 1.00

00:31:08.000 It's so dumb. 1.00

00:31:09.000 We don't want it. 0.99

00:31:10.000 It 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. 0.88

00:31:19.000 She is now saying, I know I'm going to lose in the caucus in Nevada. 0.94

00:31:21.000 So 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.

00:31:26.000 She's saying it never mattered, which how could you like her if you're a Nevada voter?

00:31:29.000 But 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.

00:31:38.000 I won the primary.

00:31:39.000 Those delegates are mine.

00:31:40.000 Blah, blah, blah.

00:31:41.000 Instead, she... 1.00

00:31:42.000 You lose.

00:31:43.000 Yeah.

00:31:44.000 Is it zero?

00:31:44.000 And he rigged it.

00:31:45.000 He rigged it.

00:31:46.000 Yeah, he rigged it.

00:31:46.000 He rigged it.

00:31:47.000 She's banging. 0.94

00:31:48.000 She said it twice, I think.

00:31:49.000 She did.

00:31:50.000 She probably said it more.

00:31:51.000 I only stopped the video 26 seconds in.

00:31:52.000 Is it Nevada zero delegates?

00:31:54.000 Is that what I was reading?

00:31:55.000 No.

00:31:56.000 Zero?

00:31:56.000 I thought it said it had zero delegates.

00:31:58.000 For the primary.

00:31:59.000 Oh, okay.

00:31:59.000 Yeah, the caucus.

00:32:00.000 They're doing a caucus to award.

00:32:02.000 I think, what is it?

00:32:03.000 What is it?

00:32:03.000 It's because they want to remove his name from the ballot or something or what?

00:32:06.000 That's why they moved to a caucus?

00:32:07.000 Yeah, 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.

00:32:19.000 And they had been from what I understand of a caucus system beforehand.

00:32:23.000 And 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.

00:32:31.000 We don't want Iowa and New Hampshire to go first.

00:32:34.000 We don't think it represents the voter base, basically saying they're not diverse enough states.

00:32:38.000 And so they want to lead with South Carolina and Nevada and go into a different schedule.

00:32:42.000 And 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.

00:32:51.000 South 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.

00:33:00.000 So 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.

00:33:20.000 They discouraged the New Hampshire Democrats from holding one and they said, if you do, we won't award any delegates based on that.

00:33:27.000 So you're just seeing this bifurcation of we want to control the order in which states vote.

00:33:31.000 I just pulled it up.

00:33:32.000 The issue is that they passed a law in 2021 to get rid of the caucuses. 0.91

00:33:37.000 The Republicans said, that's ridiculous.

00:33:38.000 Primaries are not secure. 0.91

00:33:40.000 And they said, no.

00:33:41.000 And they said, well, we're only counting the caucuses anyway.

00:33:42.000 Yeah.

00:33:43.000 So the RNC is taking authority over the states?

00:33:47.000 Well, the state can say whatever they want, but the party's private.

00:33:51.000 Yeah, both parties are doing this.

00:33:52.000 If you look at New Hampshire, the DNC was like, we're not counting your primary votes because you are not obeying our order.

00:33:59.000 And the Republicans said to Nevada, we don't care that you want to hold a primary.

00:34:02.000 We want a caucus here. 0.96

00:34:03.000 That's what we've always done.

00:34:05.000 And so it's weird.

00:34:06.000 It's unusual.

00:34:07.000 On the other hand, I think it just shows how much people don't trust the voter system.

00:34:10.000 I mean, what the Democrats are selling right now is that if we follow the old order, we're basically following racism.

00:34:16.000 They have said, Andrew Biden has endorsed this, that we have to change the order of the states.

00:34:21.000 They're really drifting far apart.

00:34:23.000 I have a real question. 0.98

00:34:26.000 What would possess Nikki Haley into figuratively standing in public and begging people To throw spoiled rotten garbage at her. 0.96

00:34:38.000 I mean, like, this is one of the most humiliating things a person could personally ask for. 0.55

00:34:44.000 So apparently she's not going to be in the caucus.

00:34:46.000 Her name's not in the caucus.

00:34:47.000 She's only in the primary.

00:34:49.000 And she lost to none of these candidates.

00:34:53.000 I wonder if she actually thought she was going to win.

00:34:55.000 She's like, with Trump not in the ballot, I get first place.

00:34:57.000 And then she doesn't, and she gets beat by literally any—like, just not her.

00:35:03.000 Does it mean that they wrote his name in?

00:35:04.000 That's basically— No.

00:35:05.000 No, one of the options was none of these candidates.

00:35:07.000 You could vote for none of these candidates, literally?

00:35:09.000 Yes.

00:35:10.000 And none beat Nikki Haley.

00:35:12.000 I like double too.

00:35:14.000 It was double.

00:35:16.000 I feel like this spin, I mean it just reeks of insincerity and probably focus group sessions of all of her big 0.93

00:35:23.000 corporate and democrat donors.

00:35:25.000 But they're like, what is the Trump base really like?

00:35:27.000 Talk about, you know, rigged elections.

00:35:29.000 So that's what we're going to say.

00:35:30.000 We're going to try to like pull the Trump card and be like, oh, it was rigged.

00:35:33.000 Oh, we didn't even like it.

00:35:34.000 So there's something sort of like Trump-esque about the way that she's approaching it.

00:35:38.000 Go on the offense.

00:35:39.000 You have to attack.

00:35:39.000 Exactly.

00:35:40.000 But it doesn't work because no one actually likes you and you actually lost.

00:35:43.000 She's an election denier now. 1.00

00:35:45.000 She is.

00:35:46.000 She should join the club.

00:35:47.000 Retired election denier.

00:35:50.000 Joe 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.

00:36:02.000 He's always been a really big supporter of Trump.

00:36:04.000 And 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.

00:36:17.000 I 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. 0.51

00:36:25.000 None of the Republicans in South Carolina.

00:36:27.000 The entire administration of government, like all the Republicans just endorsed Trump.

00:36:32.000 Everybody!

00:36:32.000 But I don't even think the variable here is like Nikki Haley and what she thinks is politically wise for her to do.

00:36:38.000 It's the donors who are propping her up. 0.90

00:36:39.000 She's more or less, to quote someone, a listless vessel.

00:36:43.000 And I think that's, right?

00:36:45.000 I think that she, it's not about actually analyzing like boots on the ground voters.

00:36:50.000 It doesn't matter because she's not actually, she knows she's not going to win deep down to her core.

00:36:54.000 But you think she'd have enough self-esteem to be like, I don't want to be the puppet in front of all of this and be humiliated like this.

00:37:00.000 She's saying stuff now that she's never going to be able to take back, and it just shows how unpopular she is.

00:37:05.000 I mean, where does she go in terms of her political career after being wrecked over and over again? 0.94

00:37:10.000 She'll run in 26. 0.99

00:37:11.000 Or 28 or whatever.

00:37:15.000 I 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.

00:37:24.000 I'm sorry, like, the humiliation, the utter humiliation that she's experiencing, and you can see it in her face.

00:37:30.000 She's like, no, it doesn't matter, we didn't even care.

00:37:32.000 Like, we didn't even want to be in Nevada.

00:37:33.000 You know, Trump rigged it, he rigged it.

00:37:35.000 I didn't even- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:37:36.000 Yeah, I cared enough to register, but I don't actually care at all.

00:37:38.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:37:39.000 Which is it?

00:37:40.000 Did you always know you were never going to spend any money in Nevada?

00:37:44.000 Or are you upset that Trump rigged it and you actually wanted to win and you got your name on the ballot?

00:37:50.000 I think she thought she was going to get it.

00:37:52.000 For sure.

00:37:52.000 And 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!

00:38:02.000 You're all dumb! 1.00

00:38:02.000 I didn't want to spend money! 1.00

00:38:04.000 It's like, dude, sour grapes.

00:38:06.000 Like to say that people have short memories is kind of vague generalization.

00:38:09.000 It's not always true.

00:38:10.000 Some people have great memories, but a lot of people reading the past history and watching the patterns, they don't.

00:38:16.000 They forget.

00:38:16.000 Like Joe Biden resigned from his run for president in 1988 because he was plagiarizing.

00:38:21.000 Humiliation.

00:38:22.000 No, you should never have a guy like that in office.

00:38:25.000 But people, for whatever reason, forgot.

00:38:27.000 I was never told.

00:38:28.000 I had to find out through, you know, circuitous means eventually in 2009 or something.

00:38:32.000 So I think she's gonna be groomed to run with somebody's VP in 2008, 28, or 32. 0.58

00:38:38.000 They're just, they're gonna keep her around and now this is good, all publicity is good publicity crap.

00:38:43.000 It's not, it's all good, all publicity is not good publicity. 0.52

00:38:45.000 Not with the internet, it's a little different.

00:38:47.000 With internet video, it's different.

00:38:49.000 Like, this, this is bad for her brand. 0.98

00:38:53.000 It turns her into a clown. 1.00

00:38:56.000 Like, holy crap. 1.00

00:38:58.000 I gotta say, man, you know, the PR people go, there's no such thing as bad press. 0.98

00:39:01.000 I'm like, I kind of think there is.

00:39:03.000 Like, you losing to none basically makes you the least viable candidate ever at this point moving on.

00:39:10.000 Like, you can't run for anything.

00:39:12.000 You can't run for class president at this point.

00:39:14.000 You can't run for the head of the PTA.

00:39:15.000 Right, right.

00:39:16.000 What federal position is available to her right now? 1.00

00:39:18.000 Because she's not going to get a position in the Trump administration. 0.99

00:39:20.000 That's just the way it is.

00:39:22.000 And, you know, she's Not super welcome in her home state.

00:39:26.000 You'll hear interviews with South Carolina voters who say, you know, she was a great governor.

00:39:29.000 I just don't see her as president or whatever else.

00:39:30.000 But now it seems like the voters who have elected the current guard of leaders in South Carolina wouldn't support her either.

00:39:38.000 I mean, they have drifted more favorably towards Trump.

00:39:40.000 The longer she stays in this battle with Trump, the more she isolates herself from most Republican voters.

00:39:46.000 But 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. 0.96

00:39:52.000 I 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.

00:39:58.000 She would have stepped out a while ago.

00:40:01.000 And 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.

00:40:10.000 But she already had those.

00:40:11.000 I mean, she could have stayed.

00:40:12.000 She is choosing to go back to politics because she craves the power, is my assumption. 0.93

00:40:16.000 I feel like she's being pushed.

00:40:18.000 Like she's sitting in the driver's seat of a self-driving car.

00:40:20.000 Well, 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.

00:40:34.000 Ron DeSantis was sort of the first pick, but then he was the sacrificial lamb.

00:40:37.000 It didn't work out.

00:40:38.000 Then maybe it was gonna be Glenn Youngkin.

00:40:40.000 Now it's Nikki Haley. So I think there's that lack of authenticity because they don't actually

00:40:43.000 believe in her. It's just the way things have sort of happened, the way the tables have turned,

00:40:48.000 the cards have played. It's like she's the last one standing. And yeah, maybe she's a woman, 0.91

00:40:52.000 so it makes them feel better. But I don't really think there's, like I said, she's a listless

00:40:57.000 vessel for these corporate donors who oftentimes are majority Democrat, but she's just sort of

00:41:02.000 a walking shell of their interests.

00:41:05.000 You think those people care about the MAGA base, the Republican base? 0.99

00:41:08.000 They'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. 0.99

00:41:18.000 I will give her credit. 1.00

00:41:19.000 She learned how to talk while opening and closing her mouth.

00:41:23.000 It was funny because I tweeted, like, Nikki Haley, when she speaks, she doesn't move her teeth.

00:41:28.000 And 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.

00:41:36.000 And I was like, dude, your mouth opens and closes and your teeth are going up and down.

00:41:41.000 But when she talks, she keeps her jaw still and she talks through her lips like this.

00:41:45.000 It's like she's yelling at her dog.

00:41:46.000 You know what I mean?

00:41:47.000 Like, you know, you're mad at your dog.

00:41:48.000 That's the adjective.

00:41:49.000 Terse.

00:41:49.000 Is that what you're doing?

00:41:50.000 Yeah, that's just terse.

00:41:51.000 Oh, how dare you! 0.99

00:41:52.000 I will lock my teeth together! 1.00

00:41:53.000 You've got the garbage against you! 1.00

00:41:54.000 That's her energy style. 1.00

00:41:56.000 Terse.

00:41:57.000 But in this, I noticed... She looks terse, I don't know if she actually does.

00:42:00.000 She, like, figured out how to speak with opening and closing her mouth.

00:42:03.000 She laughed nervously in the beginning of the interview.

00:42:05.000 Kudos to Nikki. 1.00

00:42:05.000 You can tell she's a mess right now. 1.00

00:42:06.000 What is... Nikki.

00:42:07.000 There you go, look at that.

00:42:08.000 You gotta drop out, Nikki.

00:42:09.000 Sorry, Nimrata. 0.97

00:42:10.000 So these people that are funding her campaign, are they basically ready to profit off of global organization, like global finance, if the U.S.

00:42:16.000 amalgamizes into this new world order thing peacefully?

00:42:18.000 Well, just try and understand it, you know, Ian.

00:42:20.000 I think I think you're too self-centered.

00:42:23.000 I think you gotta understand it from their perspective.

00:42:25.000 If 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?

00:42:30.000 I don't think so.

00:42:31.000 I'd like to hear more about the plan before I say no, but no, I don't think so.

00:42:34.000 Try and hear it from a donor's perspective, you know what I mean?

00:42:37.000 Like, you blow up a bunch of kids over there, you get money over here.

00:42:42.000 Okay.

00:42:42.000 Right.

00:42:43.000 Okay, I'll play along.

00:42:43.000 That's the argument.

00:42:46.000 I'll Smedley Butler this.

00:42:47.000 Tell me more.

00:42:47.000 Smedley Butler this.

00:42:49.000 Why would anyone in their right mind, like, I guess they just love blowing up... Why they would support this?

00:42:55.000 This is what I'm wondering.

00:42:55.000 I 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.

00:43:04.000 And they're like, we're going to make so much money off our BlackRock investments off of... They already are.

00:43:08.000 And 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!

00:43:14.000 Well, and they all want to be the one who has a president who's in their pocket, right?

00:43:18.000 I mean, you want to be able to call in the favors.

00:43:20.000 That's really why a lot of people donate to political campaigns to ultimately have influence over the candidate.

00:43:24.000 That's exactly what we're seeing going on right now on the Hill, right, with this immigration bill.

00:43:29.000 Like 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?

00:43:38.000 It's a wage killer.

00:43:39.000 It doesn't make our cities safer.

00:43:41.000 But those same people who are donating to Nikki Haley's campaign, they love the open border.

00:43:45.000 They love the cheap labor, right?

00:43:46.000 They don't believe in sovereignty.

00:43:47.000 I also believe there's an element of ideological compromise too.

00:43:51.000 But I think for so long we've been accustomed to politics where there's really no meaningful difference between Republican and Democrat, right?

00:43:57.000 Whether it's the uniparty critique or however you want to perceive of it.

00:44:00.000 But 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.

00:44:12.000 They said it was the death of the old Republican Party, right?

00:44:14.000 It was so long.

00:44:15.000 You know, it used to be McConnell could get his, you know, watered down conservative border bills passed because there wasn't meaningful pushback.

00:44:22.000 And I think the Nikki Haley's of the world, the Ron DeSantis's of the world, it's sort

00:44:26.000 of that deja vu to that like pre-2016 era politics where all of the Republican politics,

00:44:31.000 it was politicians, it was like, let's just choose.

00:44:34.000 Do we want to bomb Iraq or Syria? 1.00

00:44:36.000 And how many kids do we want to kill? 0.68

00:44:37.000 It was basically just like picking the same style of just basically neoconservatism.

00:44:43.000 And I think that's why she's not going over well.

00:44:44.000 But that dying guard of donor, they're not ready to give up yet.

00:44:48.000 They 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. 1.00

00:44:57.000 It's her ammo.

00:44:57.000 I don't know what that means, but that's what she says.

00:44:59.000 Her heels, honestly, I have to say, as someone from LA, very into fashion, like, her heels aren't even cute. 0.97

00:45:04.000 Like, I don't know, if I were going down, the heels... Those are fighting ones!

00:45:07.000 They're ugly!

00:45:08.000 Do you sell heels with your company?

00:45:10.000 No, we don't do shoes.

00:45:11.000 Mainly accessories and clothing.

00:45:14.000 But hey, I would send Nikki Haley some clothes. 0.98

00:45:16.000 I was going to say, would you advise on her campaign?

00:45:19.000 Well, most of our designs are like America first and low social credit score.

00:45:25.000 So I don't know if she'd be into that because I don't really think Let's jump to this story from scnr.com.

00:45:32.000 Large majority of Republicans support the idea of Trump being a dictator for a day.

00:45:37.000 You know, the funny thing is Trump didn't actually say he would in the literal sense.

00:45:41.000 He was just like, when he was asked, he said, only on day one and so we could drill for oil and secure the border.

00:45:46.000 And it's like, okay.

00:45:47.000 What people are actually suggesting is that you just go and arrest everybody.

00:45:51.000 Military tribunals, I think Roseanne asked for. 0.80

00:45:55.000 74% 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.

00:46:00.000 A new survey from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and YouGov found 36% of independent voters also support the prospect.

00:46:07.000 Wow!

00:46:08.000 I don't!

00:46:10.000 I 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.

00:46:18.000 I want evidence.

00:46:19.000 I want criminal trials.

00:46:21.000 We don't need a dictator just to go in and start deciding who should and shouldn't be.

00:46:25.000 I want the public to see the evidence.

00:46:28.000 I want it to be historic.

00:46:29.000 I want it to be documented.

00:46:30.000 I 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.

00:46:40.000 I 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.

00:46:50.000 Like you think someone who actually wants to be a dictator leads with, I'm going to be a dictator.

00:46:55.000 Well, 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.

00:47:01.000 The cartoons for 10-year-olds are a little bit more sophisticated than that.

00:47:04.000 Like 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?

00:47:21.000 It's like even 10-year-olds understand the context there.

00:47:25.000 And these people are thinking like it's, like they're five and the villain's like, I'm going to freeze the earth!

00:47:31.000 Yeah, Snidely Whiplash.

00:47:32.000 You guys ever watched that?

00:47:33.000 No, what is that?

00:47:34.000 It was Rocky and Bullwinkle.

00:47:36.000 That's some pretty basic stuff.

00:47:38.000 It was right in your face.

00:47:39.000 Snidely was like the guy who was like, yeah!

00:47:40.000 Did he say, I'm gonna be a dictator?

00:47:42.000 He was always like the villain, you know, he's twirling his mustache, literally.

00:47:45.000 I 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.

00:47:55.000 I'm like, bro, they're concerned action. It's projection though. I think Joe Biden is I mean

00:48:00.000 Cliche but the true dictator you look at whether it's the weaponization

00:48:04.000 Of the doj the lawfare the way the way that they're conducting global affairs. It's clearly

00:48:08.000 Just projection and I think the old way that they did the projection playbook was sort of the russia russia russia

00:48:14.000 like foreign collusion Because obviously the democratic party and of course

00:48:17.000 establishment republicans too, but are always colluding with foreign foreign governments

00:48:21.000 But I think they know the russia trope is sort of used up.

00:48:23.000 I think you used to see the like Black lives matter stuff always pop up right before

00:48:28.000 elections, right?

00:48:29.000 That'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.

00:48:36.000 They have, like, two, I would say, concurrent strategies. 0.97

00:48:38.000 One is, like, the, oh, democracy's gonna die in... die in darkness, and Trump is a dictator.

00:48:43.000 Oh, even, you know, appeal to, like, the neocons, like, oh, we must preserve our... our way of life.

00:48:47.000 But I also think the sort of other... other route that they're going down, um, is...

00:48:54.000 I 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.

00:49:04.000 I kind of think we're headed towards a wartime presidency, as many people try to refer to it.

00:49:12.000 I don't know what to do.

00:49:12.000 I 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.

00:49:21.000 And so I don't think it's a matter of what anyone wants to happen.

00:49:24.000 It doesn't matter if you want Trump to be a dictator or not.

00:49:27.000 There will come a point where there is no question.

00:49:30.000 You're not allowed to ask.

00:49:31.000 Trump will not decide.

00:49:32.000 It will just be in front of you.

00:49:34.000 When 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.

00:49:48.000 It's not a question of, I would like or I would not like.

00:49:52.000 If the far left violence exceeds a certain degree, there will be a response.

00:49:55.000 And 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.

00:50:01.000 And you're going to be like, this is dictatorship.

00:50:02.000 And they're going to be like, okay, if we leave, the far leftists will come in with their guns again.

00:50:05.000 And then what do you do?

00:50:07.000 I 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.

00:50:24.000 I 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.

00:50:47.000 I 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?

00:51:00.000 Because that really is the way of diffusing power to unelected bureaucrats. 1.00

00:51:03.000 And 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.

00:51:14.000 And that's probably it.

00:51:15.000 When it comes to this question, people are probably saying, there is too much corruption in DC.

00:51:20.000 It is a swamp, and you need someone to just go in and drain it. 0.99

00:51:25.000 If you don't know how to solve the problem, you may lash out at stupid solutions, because you just want to get this problem over with. 0.99

00:51:32.000 Like, if the problem is deep state corruption, that's a big problem. 0.99

00:51:35.000 How do you solve it?

00:51:35.000 Well, a lot of people are like, I don't know.

00:51:37.000 Best 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.

00:51:42.000 You just got to have controlled power sources, got to have control of mass media like airwaves, like radio waves and stuff like that.

00:51:49.000 If 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.

00:52:02.000 I 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.

00:52:18.000 They're pretending they're for democracy.

00:52:20.000 And 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.

00:52:26.000 It's appealing.

00:52:26.000 Like 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.

00:52:40.000 And 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.

00:52:55.000 Makes people feel like they can trust him to change.

00:52:57.000 Whereas the Biden administration is sort of always saying a lot of things and doing nothing.

00:53:01.000 I 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.

00:53:11.000 And 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.

00:53:16.000 It's dangerous.

00:53:17.000 At which point the Biden administration said, actually, you needed our approval for that.

00:53:20.000 And that's why you have to take it out.

00:53:21.000 I 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.

00:53:28.000 But they won't just say that.

00:53:29.000 And so that fact that someone would be like, yes, I would be a dictator to turn the ship to make things right.

00:53:36.000 I 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.

00:53:50.000 Yeah, 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.

00:53:56.000 Yeah, I'm not a dictator, but you all have to wear masks.

00:53:58.000 I'm not a dictator, but you have to leave the military if you don't get the vaccination.

00:54:01.000 I'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.

00:54:11.000 I'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.

00:54:16.000 I'm not a dictator, but my family's going to profit millions of dollars off of contracts with China and Ukraine.

00:54:22.000 Right, 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.

00:54:28.000 I got like two thoughts.

00:54:29.000 One is Trump, he kind of got caught out of context saying that he was going to be a dictator on day one.

00:54:33.000 They asked him in that interview, are you going to be a dictator again?

00:54:35.000 And he's like, not even listening.

00:54:36.000 He's like, only on day one, I'm going to close the border.

00:54:38.000 I think he was joking.

00:54:39.000 Yeah.

00:54:40.000 And he wasn't really even answering the question they asked.

00:54:42.000 He was just like, on day one, I'm going to do some extreme stuff.

00:54:45.000 But this fervor for that even people would consider wanting this dictatorship in any way is like Roman Republic stuff.

00:54:50.000 I mean, Julius Caesar came back with his troops and established a dictatorship because the Republic was so busted.

00:54:55.000 Was it 200 years of prosperity?

00:54:57.000 Well, 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.

00:55:09.000 Man, I have no idea.

00:55:10.000 They wrote all those history books.

00:55:11.000 It's tough to tell.

00:55:12.000 They just conquered and conquered and killed.

00:55:13.000 Yeah, but anybody could just leave and be like, here's what happened, and people would know.

00:55:16.000 You know what I mean?

00:55:16.000 Like, it would be within the writings of all neighboring nations, whatever, that it was terrible within the Roman Empire.

00:55:21.000 There was no prosperity.

00:55:23.000 I don't hear a lot about the brutality of the Romans.

00:55:25.000 I 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.

00:55:35.000 We have talked about this quite a bit, that are we in the collapse of the Roman Empire or the start of the Roman Empire?

00:55:42.000 Yeah, it's like the republic is shattering, I would say.

00:55:45.000 That 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?

00:55:52.000 How long has that been in there?

00:55:54.000 What 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.

00:56:02.000 And then he's just like, I have dissolved the Senate.

00:56:05.000 This is the new American empire.

00:56:08.000 Yeah, no Mace Windu heroics.

00:56:11.000 We don't need any of that.

00:56:14.000 I don't know, man.

00:56:15.000 I don't know.

00:56:16.000 If it's cyclical, if there's anything we can do to help stop or make it better, I'm sure there is.

00:56:23.000 The transition from the American Republic into the new world order? 0.61

00:56:27.000 We're part of a bigger global system now.

00:56:30.000 The Republic's got some awesome ideals, and if we can inspire free speech all over the globe, that could be part of the system.

00:56:35.000 That's not part of the global agenda.

00:56:37.000 Corporations don't like free speech.

00:56:38.000 They want the owner of the corporation to run the show.

00:56:40.000 That's the problem.

00:56:41.000 I 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.

00:56:51.000 I 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.

00:57:16.000 And I think if you, you know, do the math right 2025, the term would start it ends 2029.

00:57:22.000 A 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.

00:57:45.000 Yeah, 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.

00:57:51.000 Defunding the WHO.

00:57:53.000 I think, you know, you can definitely make the case that he could have done more, but put it this way.

00:57:57.000 If 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?

00:58:10.000 Well, I know Trump a little better.

00:58:12.000 I know the people that know him anyway, and I'd like to hang out with them.

00:58:14.000 But 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.

00:58:23.000 Let's figure out a better way.

00:58:25.000 If 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.

00:58:29.000 New world order with American nationalism, economic nationalism.

00:58:34.000 But 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.

00:58:50.000 And 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?

00:59:02.000 Because that implies that we're global citizens and that there's a global sovereign.

00:59:06.000 And 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.

00:59:18.000 on drafting a lot of the pretext to the current pandemic treaty that they're debating was Joe Biden's top bio health advisor.

00:59:25.000 So 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.

00:59:34.000 So 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.

00:59:42.000 And I think to really complement what is this idea of global government, this idea that being an American doesn't mean anything.

00:59:48.000 Look no further than the fact that in New York, they're handing out IDs to illegal aliens.

00:59:52.000 That is like such a metaphorical example of what American citizenship means to these people.

00:59:58.000 And it means nothing because they don't believe in borders because they're globalists to their core.

01:00:03.000 Let's jump to with a hard segue to some cultural news because this one's awesome.

01:00:07.000 Shane 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.

01:00:20.000 Where I think he did like an Asian accent and he made what they called homophobic jokes.

01:00:24.000 So SNL said, you're fired.

01:00:27.000 You can't work here anymore.

01:00:28.000 Now, 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.

01:00:38.000 And once again, the woke machine is trying to cancel him.

01:00:41.000 But oh, it's so funny.

01:00:42.000 It's not working.

01:00:44.000 NBC News writes, With Shane Gillis' return to SNL, Asians ask when they'll stop being the punchline.

01:00:51.000 I just love this so much.

01:00:54.000 Everybody knows that.

01:00:54.000 I don't count.

01:00:55.000 I don't count.

01:00:56.000 But, you know, if I were to agree with them, I would.

01:01:01.000 So first, I'll say, I agree with the woke left on discrimination and all that stuff.

01:01:05.000 Now, as officially an Asian person, because I agreed with you, don't forget, I'm not asking this question at all.

01:01:10.000 Quite literally don't care if he does an Asian accent.

01:01:13.000 People do it all the time.

01:01:14.000 I'm not gonna cry and whinge about South Park.

01:01:16.000 In fact, I love the City Walk guy.

01:01:18.000 He's great.

01:01:19.000 We all love him.

01:01:20.000 Turns out he's a white guy the whole time.

01:01:21.000 Did you guys ever watch that one?

01:01:22.000 No.

01:01:23.000 It turns out the City Walk guy was like the Chinese guy at the Chinese food restaurant.

01:01:27.000 So it was okay that Shane Gillis made fun of it then, right?

01:01:29.000 He didn't make fun of that, but it turned out, you know, the South Park guys... Canonically.

01:01:33.000 Yeah, canonically, he's actually a white guy who's got like, what is he like, schizophrenic or something?

01:01:37.000 I 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.

01:01:48.000 And Shane's one of those guys.

01:01:49.000 And financially secure, right?

01:01:50.000 I mean, that's part of it.

01:01:51.000 You're able to say whatever because you risk less.

01:01:54.000 I 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.

01:02:06.000 You're not supposed to say stuff like that.

01:02:07.000 It seems like cancel culture has definitely had an effect on him.

01:02:10.000 And 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.

01:02:10.000 Yeah.

01:02:19.000 That really made his career, though, to be honest.

01:02:21.000 I know that he recognizes that, too.

01:02:23.000 But 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.

01:02:39.000 They're not gonna drop him from hosting.

01:02:41.000 I'm willing to bet then when- I bet he's got a contractual agreement.

01:02:41.000 No, of course not.

01:02:45.000 Yeah.

01:02:45.000 I bet they were like, we want you to host.

01:02:47.000 And he was like, okay, but you can't cancel.

01:02:48.000 Like, cause people are going to be pissed.

01:02:50.000 And they're like, no, we get it.

01:02:51.000 There's no way SNL did not know.

01:02:53.000 This is, we are winning so massively that SNL is now doing a turnaround.

01:02:58.000 Was it, did they fire Norm Macdonald?

01:03:01.000 There was some other moment where he like, and then he hosted and he was like, you know, I got fired from the show for not being funny.

01:03:01.000 Yeah.

01:03:06.000 Yeah.

01:03:06.000 He's amazing.

01:03:08.000 This is the collapse of, of woke dominance in, in, in the media.

01:03:08.000 Look at this.

01:03:14.000 There'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.

01:03:20.000 And they're going to have the main character played by like a young black woman. 1.00

01:03:24.000 And this one's interesting because it's like, It's a hand-me-down.

01:03:29.000 It's not gonna work.

01:03:30.000 It's condescending, it's insulting.

01:03:32.000 We were talking about this like eight years ago with when they would try and race swap characters.

01:03:36.000 You're taking a character that is beloved and known, who is like a white dude, and then it's a hand-me-down character.

01:03:42.000 Like, oh yeah, by the way, we'll make him black and a woman and now you've got a character.

01:03:46.000 I was like, no, you didn't make an original character.

01:03:48.000 Right.

01:03:48.000 I feel like that's way more insulting to say, we'll just sort of recycle something else.

01:03:52.000 Also sort of unfair because that depiction of Camdaro is so iconic.

01:03:57.000 I mean, people really loved it.

01:03:59.000 That's why there were so many of them.

01:04:00.000 Who?

01:04:02.000 Parts of the Caribbean is Jack Sparrow, right?

01:04:04.000 Yeah.

01:04:04.000 Okay.

01:04:05.000 I don't know any pop culture.

01:04:06.000 So when you question me, I immediately lose confidence.

01:04:08.000 I don't understand what words you said.

01:04:09.000 It sounded like Camdaro.

01:04:12.000 And I was like, what?

01:04:14.000 Jack Sparrow.

01:04:15.000 The 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.

01:04:31.000 I mean, that's like setting someone up to fail, I feel like.

01:04:34.000 Not 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.

01:04:41.000 So who's that guy Kumail Nanjiani or whatever his name is?

01:04:44.000 Yeah, it's Kumail Nanjiani.

01:04:46.000 Kumail Nanjiani.

01:04:47.000 He apparently like had to get therapy because his movie, his Marvel movie bombed.

01:04:52.000 Did you guys see this?

01:04:53.000 Seriously?

01:04:54.000 Yeah, I think Scanner.

01:04:56.000 Nothing wrong with therapy, I guess.

01:04:57.000 Sure, but it was like his movie did so poorly.

01:04:59.000 And I just find it funny because This DEI stuff getting called out, Disney, Elon Musk suing.

01:05:04.000 SNL 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.

01:05:14.000 They're just like, we don't care.

01:05:15.000 We're gonna totally bring him on.

01:05:16.000 I'm just like, the writing's on the wall for these corporations.

01:05:19.000 They know they're losing money by doing all this woke stuff, and I think it's only a matter of time the movies all fall in line.

01:05:25.000 The fact that that Kumail guy had to get therapy You think they're gonna consider him for another lead role in one of these movies?

01:05:32.000 Look at the Marvels.

01:05:33.000 The worst grossing Marvel movie ever!

01:05:36.000 Worse than the Hulk!

01:05:38.000 Which, like, nobody even considers to be part of, even though it is.

01:05:41.000 Is that not counting inflation?

01:05:43.000 Just pure numbers?

01:05:44.000 Just grossed terribly?

01:05:45.000 Or is that counting for the inflation?

01:05:46.000 I mean, it's only been, like, ten years, so I don't think inflation's playing a big role in those numbers right now.

01:05:50.000 Though, to be honest, considering the past four years, maybe.

01:05:53.000 My initial thought was that DEI is just, I mean, the curtain's been pulled back. 0.71

01:05:57.000 It's so disgusting to force certain races into positions of power just because of their skin color.

01:06:03.000 But they're not even positions of power.

01:06:04.000 Like, 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.

01:06:10.000 But don't they do that anyways?

01:06:11.000 But it's not, it's not, no.

01:06:11.000 Like, they have DEI hirings, even if it's just a random corporation, being like... It's not, it's not a position of power.

01:06:17.000 So, uh, for instance, I've actually experienced this.

01:06:21.000 You 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. 0.99

01:06:28.000 There was one producer that I worked with at Vice and later at Fusion who was, like, literally one of the best. 0.99

01:06:33.000 And they treated her like crap.

01:06:35.000 And when her documentaries actually won awards, she wasn't invited. 0.98

01:06:38.000 And I'm like, see, that's a good example of them just being like, so it happens.

01:06:42.000 However, that being said, there were also women who were hired just because they needed women. 0.98

01:06:47.000 And then at meetings, you'd get, like, Do we have any ideas for pitches?

01:06:51.000 And the guy would say something like, here's insert mediocre idea.

01:06:54.000 Another guy would say, here's insert slightly good idea.

01:06:57.000 And then the woman would go, here's insert the worst idea imaginable. 1.00

01:07:00.000 Here's woman idea. 1.00

01:07:01.000 And then everyone would be like, yeah, we're not interested in that.

01:07:03.000 And then later she'd be like, they won't listen to my ideas because I'm a woman. 1.00

01:07:06.000 And I'm like, I gotta be honest, like that was bad.

01:07:09.000 Like, there's Emmy award-winning journalists here who are women. 1.00

01:07:11.000 Like, it's not because you're a woman, it's because you're bad at this. 1.00

01:07:14.000 And the problem is, when they do these quotas, it is not the best person for the job.

01:07:19.000 Like, Mark Cuban is purely wrong about this.

01:07:22.000 Yeah.

01:07:22.000 I think it's becoming obvious to people.

01:07:24.000 Like, it's similar to the border crisis, it's very obvious to most people.

01:07:28.000 And it seems obvious to the producers at SNL, they're like, yo, this, our cast has been floundering.

01:07:33.000 Like the show, I've only seen clips over the last three or four years, but it's been bad.

01:07:37.000 It's been really, really bad.

01:07:38.000 And Shane can come in there and show those guys how to act.

01:07:41.000 Like, even if it's just for one night, they're hanging out for a whole week.

01:07:44.000 He's one of the funniest comedians on earth.

01:07:45.000 Like, he's got a vibe that's like chill, but aggressive.

01:07:49.000 I think it's really good for the show to have him there.

01:07:52.000 Yeah, I mean, have him back.

01:07:53.000 But the thing is, it's for business.

01:07:55.000 They're doing this because they want the show to be profitable, and that is what concerns me, that business is more powerful.

01:08:00.000 Oh, it shouldn't concern you.

01:08:01.000 It's good.

01:08:02.000 If they have him back because they're like, hey, this is much better for us, that's great.

01:08:05.000 Because 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.

01:08:14.000 That's what we've been saying for a long time.

01:08:15.000 I think it's a good thing.

01:08:16.000 I think we have to reflect on the fact that they fired him.

01:08:19.000 I 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.

01:08:26.000 Fired him literally day one.

01:08:27.000 Yeah.

01:08:28.000 Which is crazy.

01:08:29.000 Which, 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.

01:08:46.000 I think so.

01:08:47.000 Although, arguably, yeah, I think you're right for sure.

01:08:50.000 Shane being there would have been a good influence on the comedy.

01:08:51.000 And they had the option.

01:08:52.000 They 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?

01:08:59.000 They aren't that interesting anymore.

01:09:00.000 Yeah.

01:09:01.000 The 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.

01:09:08.000 Yeah, 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.

01:09:24.000 I 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.

01:09:34.000 If 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.

01:09:44.000 And 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.

01:09:58.000 It used to be Upright Citizens Brigade in Chicago.

01:10:00.000 It was like improv groups.

01:10:02.000 And then those people would kind of fast track up to the SNL thing.

01:10:05.000 But now, like, Rogan.

01:10:06.000 Dude, shout out to Joe Rogan for putting Shane Gillis on the map.

01:10:09.000 Because when Shane got fired, it was like, he probably thought his life was over.

01:10:13.000 And then Joe was like, well, actually, you're one of the coolest guys I know.

01:10:15.000 Come on my show over and over.

01:10:17.000 And now they're like, Best friends are like in a group of really good friends.

01:10:20.000 So nice job, Joe.

01:10:22.000 He knows talent when he sees it.

01:10:23.000 Shane is so awesome, dude.

01:10:24.000 I mean, it looks like they're getting, you know, in the last week, 4.5 million viewers.

01:10:30.000 Is that up or down?

01:10:32.000 I mean, it's literally down from, like, a long time ago, but I think they're actually doing moderately well right now.

01:10:38.000 SNL?

01:10:38.000 They're, like, steady.

01:10:39.000 I don't know.

01:10:39.000 It's hard to find the exact numbers, to be completely honest, but it is regardless.

01:10:45.000 Yeah, I wonder how many of those numbers, how many of those people watch it live anymore.

01:10:48.000 11.30 on a Saturday?

01:10:49.000 That's literally what I pulled up.

01:10:51.000 That's literally what I pulled up.

01:10:52.000 4.5 million?

01:10:52.000 But there's so many other cool things you could be doing on a Saturday night than watching TV.

01:10:55.000 I don't believe it.

01:10:56.000 I literally do not believe it.

01:10:59.000 When we have, like on the internet, you have hard numbers right away.

01:11:02.000 And even those are somewhat hard to track because you still get bot traffic and things like this.

01:11:06.000 But then you get like Nielsen ratings where they're like, we estimate based on some boxes.

01:11:10.000 You know, it's like the family guy joke where the TV executive gets a phone call and he's like, we just got 10 complaints.

01:11:16.000 That means 14 billion people are mad.

01:11:20.000 You know, that's how it works.

01:11:22.000 So they're like, oh, 5 million people watched.

01:11:23.000 I'm like, I don't buy it.

01:11:25.000 Cause I honestly don't know anybody who could name a cast member of SNL.

01:11:28.000 And I know people are going to say, like, Tim, that means you're not going outside.

01:11:31.000 Bro, I go hang out in National Harbor.

01:11:33.000 I go hang out at these places with regular people all the time.

01:11:36.000 And these things are just like... I have no idea.

01:11:41.000 Could you guys name a single cast member right now on SNL?

01:11:44.000 Oh, Kenan!

01:11:46.000 Kenan's still on the show?

01:11:47.000 What's his real name?

01:11:49.000 One of them's married to Scarlett Johansson.

01:11:51.000 That's what I know.

01:11:51.000 Oh, okay.

01:11:51.000 Look, I know pop culture.

01:11:52.000 What's his name?

01:11:53.000 Kanye, Jost, like those guys.

01:11:54.000 That's it.

01:11:55.000 They're on the show.

01:11:56.000 Yeah.

01:11:57.000 They're like writers.

01:11:58.000 One of them's married to Scarlett Johansson.

01:11:59.000 That's what I know.

01:12:00.000 Kanye Jost is a fan.

01:12:01.000 Oh, okay.

01:12:02.000 Look, I know pop culture.

01:12:03.000 I'm aware.

01:12:04.000 Pete, I know his first name.

01:12:06.000 He had tattoos.

01:12:07.000 Pete Davidson.

01:12:08.000 He's not on anymore, though.

01:12:08.000 But didn't he only just play himself over and over again?

01:12:11.000 Yeah, kinda.

01:12:12.000 Sometimes.

01:12:14.000 He's funny.

01:12:15.000 Who's that girl? 1.00

01:12:17.000 That one girl, too.

01:12:18.000 No, I guess the answer's no.

01:12:20.000 That one girl and that guy who's married to her.

01:12:22.000 It's rough.

01:12:23.000 I mean, I don't- Michael Shay, Colin Jost.

01:12:28.000 Who else is there?

01:12:28.000 Kenan Thompson.

01:12:29.000 Oh, yeah, right.

01:12:30.000 Yeah, Kenan.

01:12:30.000 Can name all the men, but none of the women.

01:12:33.000 Yeah, who are the girls? 1.00

01:12:35.000 Irrelevant to us apparently.

01:12:36.000 I don't know.

01:12:37.000 I have this list and I'm like- The show was- Bowen- Bowen Yang.

01:12:42.000 Okay.

01:12:43.000 It's like it's a lot to live up to.

01:12:44.000 Devin Walker.

01:12:45.000 Chloe Trost.

01:12:47.000 I know Kenan Thompson.

01:12:48.000 He's like, he's an OG.

01:12:49.000 He's been since all that, you know what I mean?

01:12:51.000 Sarah Sher... I have no idea who these people are.

01:12:53.000 Are these all of them forever?

01:12:55.000 Yeah.

01:12:56.000 Ego Nwodim.

01:12:58.000 No idea who that is.

01:13:00.000 Michael Longfellow.

01:13:02.000 Molly Kearney.

01:13:03.000 Oh, I've heard of Molly.

01:13:04.000 I've heard of her.

01:13:06.000 Punky Johnson.

01:13:08.000 Funny name.

01:13:08.000 James Lawson Johnson.

01:13:10.000 I don't know.

01:13:11.000 Marcelo Hernandez.

01:13:14.000 Heidi Gardner.

01:13:16.000 Chloe Fineman.

01:13:17.000 That one sounds kind of familiar.

01:13:18.000 Andrew Dismukes.

01:13:19.000 Mikey Day.

01:13:21.000 Michael Shea.

01:13:22.000 We know that one, Michael Shea.

01:13:23.000 He's got viral clips.

01:13:24.000 Maybe 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.

01:13:43.000 So 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.

01:13:51.000 I mean, in some ways, it's good, right?

01:13:53.000 Because it gives other people options to start YouTube channels, start podcasts, do more live presentations.

01:14:00.000 That, 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.

01:14:12.000 This is not cable TV.

01:14:13.000 What is it?

01:14:14.000 This is free terrestrial network television.

01:14:17.000 NBC.

01:14:18.000 Even then, I feel like people have just moved away from it.

01:14:20.000 They moved away from like programming, like what do you call it?

01:14:24.000 Scheduled programming.

01:14:25.000 Yeah, it's everything.

01:14:26.000 If you want to listen to something, you listen to it on demand.

01:14:28.000 And so there's not the same level.

01:14:30.000 I mean, I guess this is live, so that sort of brings an element to it that maybe you'd want to watch, but I don't know.

01:14:35.000 It just doesn't seem as attractive as a form of entertainment anymore.

01:14:40.000 Yeah, man, I used to watch it in the 90s with Wayne's World.

01:14:43.000 I mean, that's where Mike Myers and Dana Carvey started.

01:14:46.000 Wayne's World was a... I was gonna say a YouTube skit.

01:14:49.000 It was an SNL skit.

01:14:50.000 Thanks, YouTube, for building yourself.

01:14:52.000 Shout out to Chad Hurley and all the guys making this website.

01:14:54.000 What a groundbreaking technology this was.

01:14:57.000 Yeah, it was revolutionary.

01:14:58.000 We got Ryan Long.

01:14:59.000 We 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.

01:15:05.000 If they had a show like SNL, that'd be pretty badass.

01:15:08.000 I want to talk about this story.

01:15:09.000 We actually overlooked it.

01:15:10.000 It'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.

01:15:16.000 The Boys star Aaron Moriarty quits Instagram after Megyn Kelly's plastic surgery claims.

01:15:23.000 Okay, first, it wasn't Megyn Kelly's claims.

01:15:26.000 Megyn 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.

01:15:41.000 And they showed this image of Erin Moriarty.

01:15:43.000 She does, she, she absolutely looks like she got tons of plastic. 1.00

01:15:46.000 Yeah, I gotta be honest.

01:15:47.000 Do you guys remember when, um, The Weeknd did that bit where he put the bandages on his face?

01:15:52.000 Was he like the Grammys or something?

01:15:54.000 And then when Save Your Tears music video came out, his face was all goofy looking.

01:15:58.000 And everybody thought he got plastic surgery, but it was just a joke.

01:16:02.000 Like, her face looks like that.

01:16:03.000 I'm not trying to be mean.

01:16:04.000 But it looks like... Yo, what did you do?

01:16:07.000 Here's the crazy thing.

01:16:08.000 She, she... I don't think she explicitly said, I never got plastic surgery.

01:16:12.000 She said, it was like, it was false.

01:16:14.000 Don't say that.

01:16:15.000 Actually, oh yeah, we have the Know Your Meme page.

01:16:18.000 Why would you ruin your face like this?

01:16:19.000 This is Erin Moriarty from The Boys.

01:16:21.000 original viral photo. It was this one right here.

01:16:24.000 Royce Lopez said, women need to stop plastic surgery until we figure out what's wrong. 1.00

01:16:28.000 Why would you ruin your face like this?

01:16:30.000 This is Erin Moriarty from the boys. She was already very pretty.

01:16:33.000 What she responded with, because this is where it started.

01:16:36.000 She 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.

01:16:44.000 And 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.

01:16:52.000 She 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.

01:16:59.000 Here's what matters.

01:17:01.000 She ends up deleting her entire Instagram.

01:17:04.000 And I don't know if she got plastic surgery or not.

01:17:05.000 It certainly looks like she does.

01:17:07.000 And many people are saying, yo, you did.

01:17:10.000 Here's what matters though.

01:17:11.000 Yo, she thought she looked good.

01:17:14.000 She thought this, like, right here.

01:17:16.000 Can we pull that up?

01:17:19.000 She thought that looked good.

01:17:20.000 And so the question is, what is happening with social media that there are women who are like, I want to look like this. 1.00

01:17:29.000 And then, I guess inversely, or subsequently, you get such a backlash to people saying you look gross that she deleted her Instagram outright. 0.97

01:17:39.000 She didn't delete, like, she deleted all the photos and then put up a thing being like, screw you, Megyn Kelly. 1.00

01:17:44.000 I kinda feel like... 0.98

01:17:46.000 You know, I don't want to be dick-torqued, I don't know, or anything like that.

01:17:48.000 But 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? 0.73

01:18:05.000 Yeah, like lobotomies.

01:18:06.000 I don't know if it's a lobotomy.

01:18:09.000 I'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.

01:18:13.000 Like, no, don't do that.

01:18:15.000 They had to learn how horrible the lobotomy was to stop doing it to themselves is what I was saying.

01:18:19.000 Same with plastic surgery.

01:18:20.000 I am so adamantly opposed to whether it's plastic surgery, fillers, even Botox to some extent,

01:18:26.000 because I think young women are being told, we were talking about this before the show,

01:18:30.000 I think it's some sort of derivation of refinement culture in the sense that you think just because your lips

01:18:35.000 are bigger or whatever you get done, if your eyebrows microbladed or whatever,

01:18:40.000 like you will look better, but it's not.

01:18:42.000 I think once you enter that realm, it's like that picture, frankly to me, again, no disrespect,

01:18:46.000 but she looks like an alien. 0.92

01:18:48.000 Like she doesn't look human, whether it's the buckle fat removal or whatever she's doing.

01:18:53.000 And I think you're very correct in terms of like the psychological harm to young women with the filters 0.98

01:18:59.000 and you see stuff online and you're like, what, I don't look like that.

01:19:02.000 And there's that side of the issue.

01:19:03.000 But 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.

01:19:16.000 Like I always talk about my mom with this.

01:19:19.000 It 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.

01:19:25.000 Like that's the new thing.

01:19:28.000 Like Kylie Jenner.

01:19:29.000 Yeah, because of that.

01:19:30.000 And I think in some ways the critique of that is like the big pharma, right?

01:19:33.000 Like this big beauty, right?

01:19:35.000 Wants people to be buying into the system.

01:19:37.000 I figured it out.

01:19:37.000 And because you have to maintain it.

01:19:38.000 I know what's going on.

01:19:41.000 It'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! 1.00

01:19:53.000 No, I honestly thought for a while it was because it's trying to make everyone's face look more the same.

01:19:58.000 Because 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. 0.71

01:20:06.000 He's like, no, you'll just look the same as everyone else who has Botox who's your age.

01:20:10.000 And these things can tend to come in trends, right?

01:20:12.000 So, like, right now they were all getting the fat taken out of their mouths, which makes the cheekbones more prominent.

01:20:16.000 Or, 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.

01:20:21.000 But 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.

01:20:27.000 So, I love this, uh, this trope about, like, old people pulling their pants up really high. 1.00

01:20:33.000 We used to have this in, like, the 90s.

01:20:34.000 The TV shows would always make fun of old people.

01:20:36.000 There 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.

01:20:43.000 That's not because old people do it. 1.00

01:20:45.000 It's because a generation did it.

01:20:48.000 And so the younger generation did not do it.

01:20:50.000 The idea that it was because you were old was just because people saw old people doing it all the time.

01:20:55.000 Right now, we don't have a generation of elderly, plastic-surgeried-up, tattooed-plastic people.

01:21:01.000 It is gonna be wild when we do.

01:21:04.000 Could you imagine in, like, 40 years what these people are gonna look like?

01:21:07.000 What, the buckle fat that you're taking out?

01:21:09.000 Oh, man, jeez!

01:21:11.000 I was being serious with Kylie Jenner.

01:21:13.000 They're like, their cheeks are gonna rot open.

01:21:14.000 Like, there's nothing in there anymore.

01:21:17.000 I mean, this girl, I remember I already did say, you know, when I was younger, my face looked slightly different.

01:21:20.000 That's fair.

01:21:21.000 Everyone'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. 1.00

01:21:29.000 I mean, you see this over and over again with celebrities who have had bad work done or just work done really early.

01:21:35.000 They 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.

01:21:42.000 They are consistently a customer.

01:21:44.000 Let alone the fact that like some of the augmentations that you can get done can cause you, you know, different issues.

01:21:48.000 Your body can reject, you know, breast implants or whatever.

01:21:51.000 They'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.

01:22:03.000 I 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. 1.00

01:22:10.000 I wear makeup for myself, right?

01:22:12.000 I'm getting my buckle fat removed for myself.

01:22:14.000 Sure.

01:22:14.000 But it's not.

01:22:15.000 You're seeking validation from other people.

01:22:17.000 But the prime beneficiary and people who profit off of that usually would be slamming big pharma.

01:22:22.000 But it's the big beauty industry. 1.00

01:22:24.000 And I don't know if you saw that trend about like the young girls who are like eight years old going into Sephora.

01:22:29.000 That's crazy that eight-year-olds are wearing so much makeup, and I have to say this is a hot take.

01:22:34.000 I am so anti-plastic surgery having grown up in Los Angeles.

01:22:38.000 I have seen so many young girls to the point where I'm like, I don't even think it's legal to operate on you.

01:22:43.000 Get work done where it's like you don't need it.

01:22:45.000 You're the most beautiful you'll ever be.

01:22:46.000 You're perfect.

01:22:47.000 But I think it's sort of like transgender-inspired.

01:22:49.000 I 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.

01:22:56.000 It's to make masculine and feminine faces look more similar.

01:22:59.000 It's the same stuff that male to female transgender people get. 0.99

01:23:03.000 Oh wow.

01:23:06.000 Yeah.

01:23:06.000 It'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.

01:23:14.000 It 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? 0.97

01:23:26.000 Fake eyelashes, all of this stuff.

01:23:27.000 Yeah.

01:23:28.000 The 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.

01:23:37.000 This 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.

01:23:49.000 The 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. 0.89

01:23:59.000 I mean, it looks like she got lip fillers, doesn't it?

01:24:01.000 She got lip fillers because it looks like the shape of her lip changed.

01:24:05.000 She got her brows, I think, microbladed.

01:24:07.000 And a nose job.

01:24:09.000 Definitely nose job.

01:24:10.000 I do think, you know, a lot of women, their faces look fat, but it's too dramatic. 0.94

01:24:17.000 She 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.

01:24:28.000 She didn't get surgery It's like she was saying that she got her contours done or whatever.

01:24:32.000 What is that like makeup?

01:24:33.000 Yeah, like she has something emphasizing her cheekbones.

01:24:35.000 That is true, you can see it on her face.

01:24:37.000 But I think it's enough where I would think that she has some kind of implant or something. 0.94

01:24:41.000 She used to not have a jawline before, now she has a jaw. 0.98

01:24:44.000 Yeah, she had a much more round face, and it's not enough to be like, oh, well, I just grew up, I lost the baby fat.

01:24:50.000 Like, it's more dramatic than that.

01:24:51.000 And that's fake hair, too.

01:24:52.000 I 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.

01:25:04.000 It's wild that she took this photo of herself and she was like, I look good, and then she posted it.

01:25:07.000 She looks like an alien. 0.99

01:25:08.000 But everyone around her told her she looked good.

01:25:10.000 The woman who did her makeup, the woman who did her hair. 0.93

01:25:12.000 The woman she paid to do her makeup.

01:25:13.000 Right!

01:25:14.000 And who get exposure if they're tagged in her Instagram posts. 0.98

01:25:17.000 Well that didn't work.

01:25:18.000 Well how do I look like her?

01:25:20.000 They got exposure.

01:25:21.000 Who's gonna hire this makeup artist now? 1.00

01:25:23.000 There's three things.

01:25:23.000 Oh yeah, transgender people?

01:25:25.000 Three things that make women attractive to men, I was told lately, is symmetry, the hip-to-waist ratio, and the illusion of health.

01:25:36.000 So it's not necessarily that they're healthy, it's that they seem healthy to the man.

01:25:39.000 And if they're watching the Tucker Putin interview.

01:25:41.000 Well, that's the hottest.

01:25:44.000 That goes without saying.

01:25:45.000 You'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?

01:25:50.000 Or she's watching Tim Kapp.

01:25:51.000 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

01:25:53.000 So they're going for symmetry with this plastic surgery.

01:25:56.000 But it does not seem healthy.

01:25:58.000 That's the problem with plastic surgery, is it doesn't give off the illusion of health.

01:26:01.000 It gives off the illusion of, I've got botulism in my face, or I've got some weird chemicals under my skin.

01:26:07.000 It's so risky!

01:26:08.000 I saw this really funny meme.

01:26:10.000 And it's like, woman. 0.98

01:26:11.000 And she's looking at a shampoo bottle and it says, shampoo for dry and damaged hair.

01:26:15.000 And then it's like, man.

01:26:16.000 And it's like, six in one men's hair, armpit, knees, skin, cloth, carpet, engine, cleaner. 0.58

01:26:22.000 It's like, that's about right.

01:26:24.000 I go to the hotels and it's like, shampoo and body wash, and I'm like...

01:26:28.000 What?

01:26:29.000 I just hate when these people lie.

01:26:30.000 I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.

01:26:31.000 I think they're lying to everybody.

01:26:32.000 And they say like, I'm doing it for myself.

01:26:34.000 It's empowering to me. 1.00

01:26:35.000 It's like, just cut the crap. 1.00

01:26:38.000 Women are doing it for other women. 1.00

01:26:39.000 Of course.

01:26:40.000 I do think there is an interesting... She's not complaining about the guys who said it.

01:26:44.000 She's complaining about Megyn Kelly. 0.99

01:26:45.000 But I feel like women perceive what... 0.99

01:26:47.000 When women think, what is attractive, they're looking at it from a very female perspective. 1.00

01:26:51.000 In other words, what girls consider attractive is different from guys. 0.70

01:26:54.000 And 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.

01:27:07.000 That is an on-trend look.

01:27:09.000 It's on-trend.

01:27:09.000 I think that's the perfect way to put it.

01:27:11.000 Which is like, women are looking to see if you're on trend, if you're doing the current things, right? 0.98

01:27:15.000 Whereas men, because a lot of it is biological, the things that they find attractive or desirable

01:27:20.000 kind of stay the same, but beauty industry standards and trends

01:27:25.000 change all the time.

01:27:25.000 So women are looking to see if you are like fashionable, whereas men are looking to see if you're attractive.

01:27:30.000 And you know, do whatever you want to do.

01:27:32.000 If you want to look attractive for men, if you want to look trendy for women. 0.78

01:27:34.000 It doesn't matter to me.

01:27:35.000 You just have to acknowledge.

01:27:37.000 I 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. 1.00

01:27:43.000 But I think true friendship would be able to say like, hey, I don't think that's the best look for you.

01:27:47.000 I don't know that you need to go get all of these fillers.

01:27:50.000 I think you're okay the way you are.

01:27:52.000 Well, maybe women, women friendship, man friendship would be like, oh, what did you do to your face, bro?

01:27:59.000 She'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. 1.00

01:28:15.000 That is a much more harmful narrative than women pointing out, hey, you made some really dumb decisions. 1.00

01:28:21.000 You messed up your, again, we weren't saying she was ugly to begin with. 0.97

01:28:24.000 I think the real tragedy in the story is that she was a very beautiful girl.

01:28:28.000 Yeah, but her argument is she didn't get surgery. 0.93

01:28:31.000 You're just calling her old.

01:28:34.000 What's wrong with being old?

01:28:35.000 Like, this is- No, no, no, this is the point.

01:28:37.000 She said she did not- But that's not how people age.

01:28:39.000 She 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.

01:28:47.000 Like, it's not just this one photo.

01:28:49.000 It's the, uh, there's, uh, where do they have it?

01:28:53.000 This, this, uh, this photo here on the left?

01:28:57.000 Here we go, this one.

01:28:58.000 Wheels on a shopping cart be like, and it's her when she's like 17, and then her when she's like 30, and this is what she's saying. 0.93

01:29:04.000 She's like, I didn't get surgery, you're just posting pictures of me now being like you're ugly. 0.64

01:29:08.000 So it's like she got old and now they're calling her ugly. 0.95

01:29:11.000 Oh wow. 0.96

01:29:12.000 I wonder if she is, has an eating disorder and it's just a lot of makeup. 1.00

01:29:16.000 I mean, her cheeks are sunken in right here and it makes her cheekbones stick out much more than when she was like younger or whatever.

01:29:24.000 She has a very round face.

01:29:25.000 I also feel like that buckle fat look, first of all, it's so on trend with all of that Hollywood crowd.

01:29:29.000 And that's just not a very natural physiognomy thing, I think, for a pretty round-faced American person to have.

01:29:35.000 Maybe if you're Native American and you have super high cheekbones, if you're Eastern European or something. 0.93

01:29:40.000 But I just don't buy it.

01:29:42.000 What about makeup, do you guys think?

01:29:44.000 Because I've always found it's gross.

01:29:48.000 Unnecessary 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. 1.00

01:30:21.000 And 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. 0.86

01:30:30.000 It's not true.

01:30:31.000 But the corporations need that narrative because that helps their bottom line, right?

01:30:35.000 I think that's why they blend it.

01:30:37.000 Right now the big move is to have it be like skin care makeup, right?

01:30:39.000 Like all of the things you can have are actually skin care and so it's not makeup and whatever else.

01:30:43.000 When actually women have worn makeup for hundreds of years, like if you want to that's fine. 0.98

01:30:48.000 But I don't think that you're ever going to be able to wear enough makeup to fundamentally change your face.

01:30:53.000 If your face is fundamentally changed, you have probably turned to some kind of intervention.

01:30:56.000 Remember when Jordan Peterson talked about why women wear makeup?

01:31:01.000 Yeah, it's to enhance, it's to make the woman look like she's fertile. 1.00

01:31:05.000 Like the lips, yeah, the lips puff out, they become more red, blood rushes to the lips, so they're simulating that.

01:31:11.000 Yep.

01:31:11.000 I think it's transhumanist.

01:31:13.000 I think a lot of this stuff is part of a transhumanist movement.

01:31:15.000 Makeup!

01:31:15.000 It all started several thousand years ago when women were rubbing berries on their lips.

01:31:19.000 For sure!

01:31:19.000 That was the beginning of transhumanism.

01:31:20.000 But 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.

01:31:33.000 That is like enhancing your natural beauty.

01:31:35.000 But 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.

01:31:45.000 To change, not enhance, but to entirely change your face.

01:31:49.000 And when you see those crazy YouTube tutorials of like the different shades of colors, the shades of brown around the eyes.

01:31:55.000 Again, I'm wearing makeup.

01:31:57.000 I'm happy to admit that.

01:31:57.000 But 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.

01:32:02.000 And it's like her really intensely using all kinds of shades to change her nose.

01:32:07.000 And at a certain point you want to be like, What are you going to do when you have to take that off?

01:32:11.000 Here's the eye thing too.

01:32:12.000 The women have like, they put white slightly around their eyes to make their eyes look bigger. 1.00

01:32:16.000 Is this all like the Kardashians?

01:32:18.000 Is that late 90s, early 2000s?

01:32:20.000 2000s.

01:32:20.000 Because that's when things started to change.

01:32:22.000 In the 80s it was way too much makeup, big hairspray.

01:32:25.000 Then in the 90s people started to get more real.

01:32:27.000 Women started to look normal. 1.00

01:32:28.000 They'll always go to a friend.

01:32:30.000 It exploded in the early 2000s.

01:32:32.000 I 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. 1.00

01:32:48.000 Well, that's drag.

01:32:49.000 But I'm saying, what you're seeing in the way women's makeup is going, I think it is going a drag route in some ways. 1.00

01:32:55.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:32:57.000 And 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.

01:33:09.000 And that look is somewhere between the Kardashians and drag, and it sort of stayed that way and became trendy among young girls.

01:33:15.000 What I love is, if you're a male YouTube makeup guy, you probably are more likely to get sponsored.

01:33:22.000 You'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. 1.00

01:33:31.000 And so their mentality is, if we convince men to wear makeup, we will double our market share.

01:33:37.000 And so, and you get a bunch of male influencers.

01:33:39.000 You go into Sephora now, and there used to never really be pictures of men.

01:33:43.000 Right.

01:33:43.000 Now you go around, and it's not just men, it's like We're going to go to Super Chats, because we're going over.

01:34:25.000 And then maybe if we feel like we might do more than that, who knows?

01:34:28.000 Depending on, uh, depends on how successful they are.

01:34:30.000 But we will read your superchats for now, so smash that like button, let's go!

01:34:34.000 Tim Jake says, your broadcast is up early today.

01:34:36.000 Now sometimes, this depends on if we know what the story is, and it's easy to do.

01:34:40.000 So 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.

01:34:47.000 Tucker 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.

01:35:02.000 Daniel Karimian.

01:35:04.000 Tucker planned on interviewing Putin when he was with Fox until his team discovered the NSA was spying on them.

01:35:10.000 They were reading his texts and emails.

01:35:12.000 Yeah I think I heard that.

01:35:13.000 That was like a big deal.

01:35:14.000 Barely a Millennial says Trump v. Anderson case on SCOTUS docket tomorrow.

01:35:19.000 How do you see that going?

01:35:20.000 Also, if you've never watched 24, you should.

01:35:23.000 Could never be made today.

01:35:24.000 Anderson, that's the ballot case?

01:35:29.000 Let me double check before I say anything.

01:35:31.000 I believe that's the ballot access one, right?

01:35:33.000 I think so.

01:35:35.000 He's got so many cases that sometimes when it's the specific name, yeah, related to the 14th Amendment of the United States, yeah.

01:35:42.000 I think Trump has declined to appear, but this will be interesting, to say the least.

01:35:47.000 Should be really, really interesting.

01:35:48.000 I mean, what if SCOTUS says, nah, he's out?

01:35:52.000 That's why Matt Gaetz and Lisa Fonik were like, we're gonna have this resolution saying he denied insurrection, you know what I mean?

01:35:56.000 Yeah, it's definitely strategic.

01:35:58.000 I think it's unlikely that they say he's out, but I just don't trust anything.

01:36:02.000 It's hard to make a prediction.

01:36:03.000 They're gonna say convict him.

01:36:04.000 They're gonna say if he's not been convicted, you can't remove him.

01:36:07.000 It could be interesting though.

01:36:08.000 They may come back and say, elections are to be held in accordance with the state legislature's approval as per the Constitution, period.

01:36:17.000 Have a nice day.

01:36:19.000 The 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.

01:36:26.000 The conservatives are going to be like, we are honorable and have integrity, and the Constitution says the states are in charge.

01:36:33.000 That's it.

01:36:33.000 They're going to say, if you run your election the way you want to run it, we got no issue.

01:36:38.000 In that case, Maine pulls them off the ballot instantly.

01:36:43.000 Trump could, with RFK Jr.

01:36:44.000 in the race, Trump could win Maine.

01:36:46.000 That's the craziest thing.

01:36:47.000 Not that he would, but, you know, if RFK Jr.

01:36:49.000 pulls enough away.

01:36:52.000 Let's go!

01:36:53.000 Keith says super packs have to go.

01:36:56.000 Yeah.

01:36:57.000 Not a big fan.

01:36:58.000 But there's a challenge.

01:36:59.000 You can spend your money however you see fit.

01:37:01.000 I was arguing with these dudes in like 2012 outside of CPAC.

01:37:05.000 I shouldn't say argue, I was talking.

01:37:06.000 And 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.

01:37:11.000 And 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.

01:37:20.000 And then some guy said to me, he was like, you have money on you?

01:37:23.000 And he was like, OK, you can't spend it on these products.

01:37:23.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:37:25.000 I said so.

01:37:26.000 And I'm like, we do that all the time.

01:37:28.000 Kids can't buy beer.

01:37:29.000 You can't buy certain contraband things.

01:37:33.000 We could certainly say you can't spend money on politics.

01:37:36.000 His argument was, I earned the money, I worked hard, I should have a right to spend it on whatever I want.

01:37:41.000 And if I want to buy a billboard saying, vote for somebody, that's my free speech.

01:37:45.000 And I was like, sure.

01:37:47.000 But we do, as a government, say some things can't be bought.

01:37:49.000 You can't go to a grocery store and buy heroin.

01:37:51.000 So there are some things you cannot spend your money on.

01:37:54.000 And that was the gist of the argument.

01:37:56.000 I do understand that argument.

01:37:57.000 I agree with the concept.

01:37:59.000 If I want to buy a billboard, why is anyone allowed to stop me?

01:38:02.000 It's my free speech.

01:38:03.000 That's a PAC.

01:38:04.000 Political Action Committee says we want to do it.

01:38:05.000 How do you tell them they can't spend their money on what they want to say?

01:38:10.000 So there's rules.

01:38:11.000 Not that anyone follows them.

01:38:13.000 Christina Passifong says, shout out Mason DeChamps aka ProLifeSpiderMan.

01:38:20.000 He free climbed the sphere in Las Vegas today.

01:38:22.000 Let's get him on IRL.

01:38:23.000 Really?

01:38:24.000 Well, I will say, you know, a lot of people A lot of the publicists who hit us up don't understand what IRL is.

01:38:32.000 This is a topical news commentary show, not an interview program.

01:38:35.000 That's why we launched The Culture War, which you can find over at Tenet Media on YouTube.

01:38:40.000 That's the interview show.

01:38:42.000 Yo, Mason is awesome.

01:38:44.000 I met him at Turning Point.

01:38:45.000 We gotta have him out here someday.

01:38:47.000 Culture War, I mean.

01:38:48.000 Yeah, he's just a great human.

01:38:50.000 It's entirely possible he's capable of handling a news commentary show.

01:38:53.000 But it's like if you want to know about someone's life story, Culture War fits better.

01:38:58.000 Yeah, he'd be great.

01:38:59.000 Talk about climbing.

01:38:59.000 Like, he climbs buildings.

01:39:01.000 It's crazy with his bare hands.

01:39:05.000 Let's get it.

01:39:07.000 Sterling Wilson III says, Don't worry, Ian.

01:39:08.000 We've all been there with loud eating and drinking.

01:39:10.000 LOL.

01:39:11.000 Thanks.

01:39:12.000 I'll never forget tonight.

01:39:13.000 Oh, yeah.

01:39:13.000 Eloy Lopez Curiel says, Thank you.

01:39:15.000 Thank you so much for reading my last comment yesterday about my books.

01:39:18.000 I literally screamed in my car.

01:39:19.000 I watch y'all every single day.

01:39:21.000 Blessings, amigos.

01:39:22.000 Well, congratulations.

01:39:22.000 Right on.

01:39:23.000 Good luck.

01:39:24.000 Happy to hear.

01:39:26.000 Justin SLA says, Daria Dugina is marked as liquidated on that list.

01:39:32.000 Yeah, 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.

01:39:40.000 So, you know.

01:39:41.000 And she was assassinated.

01:39:43.000 So, you know.

01:39:45.000 Yep.

01:39:45.000 They're just keeping track of what's going on.

01:39:47.000 They don't have anything to do with it.

01:39:51.000 Alright.

01:39:53.000 The SIGP says Gonzalo Lira died in Ukraine, but it's not a kill list.

01:39:57.000 That's exactly why I said it's half wrong, half true. 0.99

01:40:01.000 It's not a literal kill list.

01:40:02.000 It's a list of, it's an enemy's list, and we know what happens to people who are listed as enemies.

01:40:06.000 So it's like, and, but, but more, more to the point, it was half true because he wasn't just added to the, to a list.

01:40:11.000 He's been on it for months.

01:40:13.000 So everyone's like, he was added to this list because of his interview with Putin.

01:40:15.000 He was on it in August.

01:40:17.000 You know what I mean?

01:40:18.000 Like, they've not liked this guy for a long time.

01:40:20.000 So certainly, Man, Tucker better be careful.

01:40:25.000 Need some good security, you know what I mean?

01:40:28.000 Alright, Wyatt Caldenberg says, 24 reminds me of 68.

01:40:32.000 NOM peaked and people were talking World War III.

01:40:35.000 The right and left were talking Civil War.

01:40:37.000 LBJ was so unpopular, he wouldn't seek a second term.

01:40:40.000 King and RFK were feared by the Deep State and shot.

01:40:45.000 Yikes.

01:40:45.000 That's why you want to remember history.

01:40:48.000 So you're not doomed to repeat it.

01:40:49.000 Yeah.

01:40:51.000 Gamer 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.

01:41:01.000 They're all corrupted.

01:41:02.000 Yeah, ALX had that tweet saying, propose a bill that allows 5,000 Russians into Ukraine every day and see what they say.

01:41:11.000 Yeah.

01:41:12.000 They'd be like, no.

01:41:13.000 And House Democrats are also, I mean, they're voting down standalone bills.

01:41:17.000 They want all of the aid and everything lumped together.

01:41:19.000 I don't understand this.

01:41:21.000 Like, if this is something that's so urgent, these countries desperately need funding.

01:41:25.000 Why wouldn't you compromise and vote on a standalone bill?

01:41:28.000 Instead, it's like, no, everything has to be lumped together so we can sneak these weird provisions in.

01:41:33.000 The difficult thing is they tried to do a standalone Israel aid package, but fiscal Republicans were like, no way we're not funding Israel.

01:41:43.000 But the strategy there was to force the Democrats to reject it.

01:41:48.000 And 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.

01:41:55.000 Now, Democrats are going to have to explain to most people why they're choosing the path they're choosing and opposing Israel.

01:42:05.000 I just don't think they could say anything that would make sense, but maybe I'm just optimistic on their voter base.

01:42:11.000 The October 7th thing.

01:42:12.000 The October 7th terror attacks and mass killings really caused problems for the establishment and the woke.

01:42:21.000 Like BLM's posting the paraglider.

01:42:24.000 This is the point the Republicans are trying to make.

01:42:26.000 Force the Democrats into a position they can't win.

01:42:28.000 Yeah, I think that people think the deep state is like an American thing, but it's like bigger than this country.

01:42:35.000 Caro Asta says, headlines when Tucker interviews Putin.

01:42:38.000 Putin propagandist deserves to be imprisoned as a traitor to democracy.

01:42:41.000 Headlines when BBC interviews Putin. 0.96

01:42:44.000 Heroic journalist gives us closed curtain view of the raving authoritarian madman bent on democracy's destruction. 0.63

01:42:50.000 Yep.

01:42:51.000 I love this.

01:42:52.000 There's like this BBC guy and he's like, Tucker Carlson says we've not even tried to interview him.

01:42:56.000 Of course we tried, he just won't let us.

01:42:58.000 It's not surprising, dude.

01:42:59.000 You work for the British government.

01:43:01.000 You are at war with Russia.

01:43:02.000 Of course he won't grant you an interview.

01:43:05.000 Tucker Carlson's a private citizen who is considered opposition media in this country.

01:43:09.000 Of course he'll get an interview. 1.00

01:43:11.000 These people are so dumb. 1.00

01:43:12.000 Why do you think it is these leftists don't come on this show? 1.00

01:43:14.000 We invite them every single time.

01:43:16.000 Because they view us as enemies and they know that we'll debunk all their lies.

01:43:21.000 That's it.

01:43:22.000 They're full of it.

01:43:24.000 A handful of them will come on.

01:43:25.000 The honest ones.

01:43:26.000 But that's about it.

01:43:27.000 Honest but wrong, perhaps.

01:43:29.000 Not wrong on everything.

01:43:30.000 I 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.

01:43:41.000 And I respect Destiny, though I think he's wrong.

01:43:45.000 I think we agree a lot on facts, but I think he has bad moral opinions.

01:43:48.000 That's really what it comes down to.

01:43:50.000 The rest of the left, they just make things up and then claim other people make things up.

01:43:54.000 My 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.

01:44:02.000 So 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.

01:44:10.000 I'm being dishonest by reporting on what they've said, is basically her point.

01:44:14.000 I'll take it, I guess.

01:44:15.000 But, I will stress, I host an interview show once a week.

01:44:20.000 That's journalism.

01:44:21.000 Otherwise, Christiane Amanpour's not a journalist.

01:44:23.000 I'd like to have Taylor Lorenz in for the culture war. 1.00

01:44:26.000 That'd be cool.

01:44:27.000 Well, she would not do it because she would get obliterated.

01:44:31.000 Like, everything she says, I'd be like, here's the New York Times saying you're wrong.

01:44:35.000 What say you?

01:44:36.000 And she'd be like, you're being dishonest!

01:44:37.000 I'm like, I guess the New York Times is wrong.

01:44:39.000 Okay, next subject.

01:44:41.000 Here's NPR saying you're wrong.

01:44:42.000 I mean, let me do this.

01:44:44.000 What 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?

01:44:51.000 What do you think she'd say?

01:44:53.000 That's crazy.

01:44:54.000 It's a conspiracy.

01:44:55.000 NPR reported that.

01:44:56.000 It's my favorite story.

01:44:57.000 It's like NPR reported this.

01:44:59.000 That's the source.

01:45:00.000 Google it.

01:45:01.000 NPR reported fears that China could be collecting DNA through COVID tests.

01:45:05.000 BGI Genomics.

01:45:07.000 Is that the company?

01:45:08.000 There you go.

01:45:08.000 What's it called?

01:45:09.000 BGI Genomics.

01:45:13.000 But 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.

01:45:22.000 Like she said.

01:45:23.000 Right.

01:45:23.000 But you wouldn't lead with NPR said this, so she'd be like, oh Tim, everything you're saying is crazy.

01:45:28.000 And then when she said that's crazy, I'd say, oh, you think that's fake?

01:45:30.000 Okay, here's NPR.

01:45:31.000 That's where I got the news.

01:45:32.000 Well, 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.

01:45:40.000 They know they're lying.

01:45:41.000 Like, when Taylor Lorenz doxed libs of TikTok, it was unquestionable doxing.

01:45:47.000 Literally 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.

01:45:55.000 No one is arguing the depth of doxing.

01:45:58.000 No one is arguing it's 3rd degree doxing versus 7th degree doxing.

01:46:02.000 We'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.

01:46:11.000 So it's like, but I didn't dox her because she wasn't there. 0.98

01:46:15.000 Oh shut up. 1.00

01:46:16.000 That's so stupid. 1.00

01:46:18.000 And then she got mad. 1.00

01:46:19.000 Apparently, 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. 0.88

01:46:25.000 Hilarious.

01:46:26.000 Apparently, I hear, behind the scenes, she was, like, fuming and demanding, like, legal action, and they told her they couldn't do anything.

01:46:31.000 It's a protected opinion.

01:46:33.000 Like, define doxing.

01:46:35.000 And here's the funny thing.

01:46:36.000 If I was wrong about that, as a statement of fact, yeah, she could have sued. 0.99

01:46:42.000 But the reality is, they probably told her, look, if you sue him, he's going to show the news article saying, you did this.

01:46:49.000 And then a judge will bang the gavel saying, you did this.

01:46:53.000 And then how are you going to deny it?

01:46:56.000 She can deny it right now until a court says so. 1.00

01:47:01.000 All right, Saddle F'ing Tramp says, Tucker interviewing Putin is the inverse of Jane Fonda in Vietnam.

01:47:06.000 This is the highest treason to the establishment searching for truth.

01:47:10.000 For the truth.

01:47:12.000 Crazy days.

01:47:14.000 Garrett Russell says, am I watching days of my life or CNN?

01:47:17.000 In reference to the Zelensky interview.

01:47:19.000 That's what I was saying.

01:47:20.000 We needed like a long lost twin brother to appear and be like, you've stolen the presidency from me, brother.

01:47:26.000 What?

01:47:27.000 I thought I trapped you in the ice caves in Antarctica.

01:47:31.000 You know what I mean?

01:47:33.000 We never found out what his favorite band was.

01:47:35.000 That's what I was waiting for.

01:47:36.000 Oh, I still want to know.

01:47:38.000 I'm gonna watch the video after this.

01:47:39.000 I need to know.

01:47:40.000 It's gonna be like... What's it?

01:47:42.000 What's it?

01:47:43.000 What's it?

01:47:43.000 Bad Company.

01:47:44.000 No, it's gotta be like a band that is famous, but kinda like... You know... Like Earth, Wind & Fire?

01:47:52.000 No, they're great!

01:47:53.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:47:54.000 How dare you! 0.99

01:47:55.000 You don't think Francine would just pick, like, The Beatles to seem relatable to everyone?

01:47:58.000 You think he'd go a little bit lower on the list?

01:48:00.000 It's gotta be a classic rock band that's famous, but like, when you say it, you go, oh.

01:48:05.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:05.000 Like, oh.

01:48:07.000 Like, you can't name Earth, Wind, and Fire.

01:48:08.000 That's a cardinal sin.

01:48:11.000 I'm gonna go with the Yardbirds.

01:48:12.000 No, no, no.

01:48:13.000 Earth, Wind, and Fire.

01:48:13.000 They're great.

01:48:14.000 When you say Earth, Wind, and Fire, people are like, wow.

01:48:16.000 They're fantastic.

01:48:17.000 So Lenski's gotta name a band where you go, really?

01:48:20.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:20.000 Like, I guess.

01:48:21.000 The Turtles?

01:48:24.000 I guess.

01:48:25.000 They have a good song, but like, does anybody really care?

01:48:27.000 And he's like, just naming albums.

01:48:29.000 Like, really?

01:48:30.000 That could be it.

01:48:31.000 Yeah, the Turtles.

01:48:32.000 Like, they had one big song and they had a couple little ones.

01:48:35.000 Can you name any songs by the Turtles besides Happy Together?

01:48:38.000 No, not off the top of my head.

01:48:40.000 Anybody?

01:48:41.000 Chat?

01:48:41.000 I don't even know who the Turtles are, to be honest.

01:48:43.000 Happy Together!

01:48:43.000 I don't know what they're talking about.

01:48:48.000 Oh, yeah, I know that one.

01:48:52.000 Right.

01:48:52.000 You don't even know the band.

01:48:53.000 See, that's a good point.

01:48:54.000 He'd say the Turtles, and you'd go, who?

01:48:56.000 He's gonna say something that really hits home with a lot of people.

01:48:59.000 So, famous band, really well-loved, Zeppelin.

01:49:02.000 What if he said Taylor Swift?

01:49:04.000 That'd be hot.

01:49:05.000 But he is saying it is being quoted as band everywhere, so that makes me think that it is in fact a band.

01:49:10.000 Is he gonna say U2?

01:49:11.000 Is U2 a band or just a person?

01:49:12.000 Yeah, but they're not classic rock.

01:49:14.000 I can only find the video, I can't find it.

01:49:15.000 U2 isn't classic rock?

01:49:16.000 What if he was like Ace of Base?

01:49:19.000 I was just listening to them.

01:49:20.000 I was listening to them live, I watched them.

01:49:23.000 Today I was watching Ace of Base and singing it in the house, that's wild.

01:49:28.000 All That She Wants.

01:49:29.000 Here's another baby.

01:49:31.000 She's gone tomorrow, boy.

01:49:32.000 All that she wants is another baby. 1.00

01:49:35.000 The Cardigans.

01:49:36.000 That's a good band.

01:49:37.000 Yeah, they're good.

01:49:37.000 I like the Cardigans.

01:49:38.000 My favorite game.

01:49:41.000 Did he say classic rock?

01:49:43.000 That's all he said.

01:49:43.000 I guess.

01:49:44.000 Well, I think of the 70s when I think classic rock.

01:49:47.000 Anything in the 80s is more modern rock.

01:49:49.000 If he said Tears for Fears, I would get angry and tell him, you stop listening to my music.

01:49:53.000 That'd be cool.

01:49:54.000 You don't listen to my music.

01:49:56.000 All right.

01:49:57.000 Federale Actual says, between Timcast and Lukecast, my airwaves are filled with truth and liberty.

01:50:02.000 If only Rumble wasn't so buggy.

01:50:04.000 Stop being buggy, Rumble. 0.99

01:50:05.000 Also, zipper tits is my new favorite word. 1.00

01:50:10.000 That's from something, isn't it? 0.98

01:50:11.000 So here's a funny story.

01:50:12.000 We were at Hard Rock Seminole in Miami, and Jerry Seinfeld was Performing, I guess.

01:50:22.000 So it was nuts how crowded it was.

01:50:25.000 Sold out shows, I guess.

01:50:27.000 And Alex Stein was there. 0.93

01:50:28.000 So we're all hanging out, and Alex Stein is a crazy person.

01:50:33.000 So I like playing $5 games.

01:50:36.000 That means, like, you bet $5, and then you get cards, and, you know, like, minimal risk.

01:50:40.000 It's for fun.

01:50:41.000 We hang out, we sit down, we go, ooh, look at me, I got Ace King.

01:50:45.000 Alex is like, come on man, we gotta play $100 Blackjack, let's go $100 per pull slot machines.

01:50:50.000 You film these videos, they go viral.

01:50:51.000 I'm like, Alex, I'm not putting $100 in a slot machine for one slot pull you're giving your money away.

01:50:55.000 He's like, let's play Blackjack $100.

01:50:56.000 I was like, no, I don't want to play this game.

01:50:59.000 It's too much money.

01:51:00.000 And so, he convinces us, because, you know, we're weak-willed people, I guess.

01:51:04.000 But I thought it'd be funny to like, okay, I'll take like $200, we'll play $50 Blackjack.

01:51:09.000 And we got DESTROYED by the- like, the dealer was hitting 21 like crazy!

01:51:15.000 And so, uh, I was like, okay, well, like, that's... I lost, like, 300 bucks.

01:51:20.000 I don't want to play big hands like that.

01:51:22.000 Normally, it's like, you can play the lowest possible number, and you can play for a long time.

01:51:27.000 Play craps, $15.

01:51:27.000 You'll play for an hour off $30.

01:51:30.000 And then, uh, we look over to one table, and it was like, it's a $50 minimum game, and I forgot what game we were playing.

01:51:39.000 I think it might have been, um... Man, what was it?

01:51:43.000 I can't remember.

01:51:44.000 All I know, it came out to like $200.

01:51:45.000 No, it was $500.

01:51:47.000 Oh, it was criss-cross.

01:51:49.000 Criss-cross poker.

01:51:50.000 And it was $500 a hand.

01:51:54.000 Because the minimum was... No, no, it was $500 max, I think.

01:51:59.000 I'm getting it wrong.

01:51:59.000 Basically, if you bet $50, you have to bet it on two different sides, because it's criss-cross.

01:52:04.000 There's two hands per game.

01:52:05.000 Confusing, whatever.

01:52:06.000 And so I'm like...

01:52:08.000 Okay, I'll play like one hand maybe, because Alex wants to go crazy.

01:52:12.000 Anyway, that's not the story.

01:52:13.000 The story is, I hear some guy behind me go, whoa!

01:52:16.000 And I look back, and he's looking at like the stacks of green chips, and I was like, yeah dude, it's like 500 a hand.

01:52:20.000 And he goes, yeah.

01:52:22.000 And 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.

01:52:28.000 And then we all started busting out laughing.

01:52:30.000 Who's he pointing at?

01:52:32.000 He was pointing at Luke, saying he goes on his show, to me, but he never goes on his show.

01:52:38.000 And then all of us at the table and everyone around started busting out laughing, like the people who knew who we were.

01:52:42.000 And it was funny, because Luke goes on IRL all the time, but I never go on Luke's show.

01:52:47.000 You gotta go on the best political show, we wanted to get you on.

01:52:49.000 Yeah, okay, but to be fair, his show is new.

01:52:52.000 Yeah it is.

01:52:52.000 They're doing good.

01:52:53.000 They're doing real good. It was funny that he said it cuz like Luke does come on all the time

01:52:57.000 But anyway, that was the story But also it is a very very funny story that Alex went crazy

01:53:02.000 had no idea what he was doing how to hit But he was like come on man. I'm watching these videos on

01:53:08.000 YouTube These guys are getting like a hundred thousand hits because

01:53:10.000 they're gambling all this money He's like Tim when he puts the hundred dollars in and hits

01:53:13.000 the button and it comes up jackpot I feel like I got a jackpot

01:53:17.000 And I was like, okay, dude, I don't want to spend money like that.

01:53:20.000 But it was funny.

01:53:20.000 Like Alex was betting crazy amounts of money.

01:53:23.000 Did he win?

01:53:24.000 So he was doing really well at first and he was up like a lot of money and then he lost it all.

01:53:29.000 Yep.

01:53:29.000 Restraint.

01:53:30.000 That's a big part of victory.

01:53:31.000 He was playing a hundred dollar hands and he was doing like three blackjack hands and he was He was hitting it, and I'm like, okay.

01:53:38.000 He was on one that night.

01:53:38.000 Like, for the first ten minutes, we were all up, like, 500 bucks.

01:53:42.000 And then the dealer couldn't lose.

01:53:43.000 After that, he just started hitting everything, just non-stop.

01:53:46.000 And then, uh, and then, you know, Alex was like, I've lost too much money.

01:53:51.000 I think he won it back, though.

01:53:53.000 Actually, I'm pretty sure he did.

01:53:54.000 He was like, I want to go to the High Limit Room, and I was like, oh jeez.

01:53:58.000 And then he went and he bet a bunch of money on Baccarat and hit and made a bunch of money.

01:54:04.000 I don't know.

01:54:04.000 It was wild.

01:54:05.000 He wasn't there for a long time.

01:54:06.000 He was there for a good time, you know?

01:54:08.000 I could see him.

01:54:08.000 He'd be like, Tim, we're in Miami!

01:54:10.000 Let's just play!

01:54:11.000 Let's just win all this money!

01:54:13.000 We're here!

01:54:13.000 Let's go!

01:54:14.000 Can you Venmo me?

01:54:15.000 Can you Venmo me?

01:54:16.000 Give me the cash and I'll Venmo you. 0.80

01:54:19.000 And I'm like, dude.

01:54:22.000 If you ever want to go to a casino, you need to go with Alex.

01:54:24.000 Actually, I'll just tell you this.

01:54:25.000 Hang out with Alex Stein.

01:54:26.000 That's all I gotta say.

01:54:27.000 Up or down, it's the best.

01:54:29.000 All I gotta say up or down it's the best just hang out if you're if you're if you're trying to laugh and get in

01:54:35.000 trouble Or learn and have a deep conversation

01:54:38.000 He's all that.

01:54:40.000 Yeah, he's a funny guy.

01:54:41.000 Like the first time he came here, he ate the one chip challenge and got really sick.

01:54:44.000 He ate two one chip challenges.

01:54:47.000 All right, all right, all right.

01:54:49.000 Julia Griffin says, did you read Ragnarosis 1 by Eric Jens?

01:54:54.000 Definitely the most relevant new Civil War book right now.

01:54:57.000 The ending gave me chills.

01:54:58.000 I've not even heard of it.

01:55:00.000 Not even heard of it.

01:55:02.000 So here's one from the Zigbee says there's chatter of Tucker facing a travel ban sanctions for interviewing Putin.

01:55:08.000 If that's true, he could just walk through the southern border with fingers held high.

01:55:13.000 George Alexopoulos drew that up already.

01:55:16.000 And it's Dan Crenshaw and I think Lindsey Graham being like, he got the interview, we have to stop him.

01:55:22.000 And then the next panel is like Biden being told, Tucker already managed to get back into the country.

01:55:29.000 Then the next panel is, like, the border, and then it shows Tucker smiling and he's running through with a bunch of illegal immigrants. 0.97

01:55:34.000 This is very good, George.

01:55:35.000 G-Prime. 0.97

01:55:36.000 Was it G-Prime 85?

01:55:38.000 G-Prime 85 on Instagram.

01:55:40.000 Very, very good.

01:55:41.000 Very funny.

01:55:42.000 Very funny.

01:55:44.000 Let's go.

01:55:45.000 Ezekiel says, what do you think about the story Crowder released about the possible school shooting in Wisconsin that was covered up?

01:55:53.000 Well, interesting.

01:55:55.000 We'll go through it.

01:55:56.000 We'll talk about it on the Members Only show because there were documents released and it's pretty big.

01:56:01.000 It was like, what was it like?

01:56:02.000 It was like a leftist, I guess?

01:56:02.000 Yeah.

01:56:03.000 Like woke ideologies.

01:56:05.000 And we will talk about that on the Members Only show in a couple of minutes.

01:56:08.000 So head over to TimCast.com, click join us.

01:56:10.000 This one is dark stuff, not for the kids.

01:56:13.000 Okay, we're probably gonna swear a lot.

01:56:14.000 We're gonna say naughty words.

01:56:16.000 Okay, if you wanna hear Ian say naughty words, you become a member at TimCast.com.

01:56:20.000 All right, where are we at?

01:56:24.000 Beep Beep says, curious what your thoughts are on the Channel 5 dude being arrested for crossing the border.

01:56:30.000 Oh, is that what actually happened?

01:56:31.000 What was that?

01:56:32.000 I was watching this today.

01:56:33.000 I forget his actual name, but he had a lot of controversy earlier this year about his personal character traits.

01:56:41.000 But yeah, he went across the border literally with some coyotes and just videotaped the whole thing.

01:56:46.000 They arrested him?

01:56:47.000 Yeah, and they arrested him.

01:56:48.000 I didn't know that part.

01:56:49.000 I only watched the first 10 minutes, but yeah, I guess he got arrested.

01:56:51.000 That's crazy.

01:56:52.000 Wow.

01:56:54.000 Mike 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.

01:57:00.000 I mean, he was not wrong.

01:57:02.000 He was not wrong on that one. 1.00

01:57:07.000 Lurch says Trump supporters take him seriously, but not literally.

01:57:10.000 Haters take him literally, but not seriously.

01:57:12.000 That's what happened in 2016.

01:57:15.000 The Trump supporters were like, Trump is gonna do these things. 0.99

01:57:18.000 He's a goofball, though. 0.98

01:57:19.000 He does stand-up, basically. 0.95

01:57:19.000 He says funny things. 0.95

01:57:21.000 And the left were like, he literally wants to throw people and flip them over and body slam them and things like that.

01:57:26.000 And it's like, oh, calm down.

01:57:28.000 Calm down.

01:57:30.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:57:32.000 Jake 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.

01:57:41.000 It's too young for this stuff.

01:57:42.000 The school is Wellington Elementary in Florida.

01:57:47.000 Well, what's going on, Florida?

01:57:49.000 Someone's got to tell Ron DeSantis and have him get the job done.

01:57:52.000 What's Ron gonna do?

01:57:54.000 You know, he's out.

01:57:55.000 He's not gonna be governor again.

01:57:56.000 He's term limited.

01:57:58.000 Maybe he's just gonna retire, go into acting, sort of reverse Zelinsky his life.

01:58:02.000 I mean, who's to say?

01:58:03.000 Thomas Sidebottom says, Pirates of the Caribbean.

01:58:07.000 Wow, you made a good movie.

01:58:08.000 Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

01:58:09.000 Wait, you don't know what made it good, do you?

01:58:11.000 Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

01:58:12.000 Yeah, you had no idea.

01:58:14.000 I think if Pirates of the Caribbean was made in the 70s, it would be a legendary classic with no sequels.

01:58:22.000 And they'd be like, man, what a great movie.

01:58:24.000 But it was made at a time when they were like, more money!

01:58:27.000 And what I loved about it, when the commercials came out for Dead Man's Chest, it was like the number one movie in the country.

01:58:34.000 And I was like, no.

01:58:36.000 Pirates of the Caribbean 1 is the number one movie in the country. 0.64

01:58:39.000 And people are going to see your garbage movie because of how much they liked the first one. 0.98

01:58:43.000 And when I went and saw the second one, I was like, this is garbage. 1.00

01:58:46.000 This sucks. 0.99

01:58:47.000 I still haven't seen any of them. 0.98

01:58:48.000 And 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!

01:58:55.000 Like Harry Potter, the movie. 0.84

01:58:57.000 Fine, whatever, it wasn't horrible, but I read the book.

01:58:59.000 It was okay, I saw the movie, it was decent.

01:59:01.000 The first Pirates is...

01:59:04.000 Utterly fantastic.

01:59:05.000 Like, Jack Sparrow wasn't supposed to be like that.

01:59:08.000 He was supposed to be like a normal pirate.

01:59:10.000 And then Johnny Depp was like, let's make him a bit eccentric and kind of drunk all the time.

01:59:14.000 They gave him an original character to work with and he made it better.

01:59:16.000 Right.

01:59:17.000 I mean, the storyline is fantastic.

01:59:19.000 They looted the treasure, they found the gold, but it was cursed and now they're all walking dead and they're trying to return the gold.

01:59:26.000 Brilliant story!

01:59:27.000 And then the next movie was like, there's no ending.

01:59:29.000 It's like, there's a chest with a heart in it, and then the movie ends, and nothing happens.

01:59:32.000 And then the third movie is like, oh, we resurrected the guy who died in the first one, so that story made no sense.

01:59:36.000 And it's just, you know, I think, um, Dead Men Tell No Tales was decent.

01:59:41.000 Nowhere near as good as the first one, but better than the rest.

01:59:45.000 Was that the fourth one?

01:59:47.000 I don't know.

01:59:47.000 Maybe that was the fifth one?

01:59:49.000 See, 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.

02:00:02.000 Like, 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.

02:00:16.000 I really think Moving to streaming is one of the things that's changing the way we make movies today.

02:00:20.000 Yeah, and it's killing the movie star.

02:00:23.000 You 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.

02:00:33.000 And it's like, right, it wasn't a movie in theaters.

02:00:35.000 It's a streaming platform film.

02:00:37.000 Nobody talks about, you know, what's the... Oh, Netflix put out a new movie.

02:00:41.000 How much did it make?

02:00:42.000 We don't know.

02:00:42.000 Netflix puts out like 50 movies every month, it feels like.

02:00:46.000 Alright!

02:00:48.000 Last super chat here.

02:00:49.000 Ash says, your next big song release needs to star Ian and be all about graphene.

02:00:54.000 Well, the next release is coming out in a couple weeks and it does star Ian.

02:00:56.000 It's called Eyes of Advice.

02:00:58.000 And we did a little 30 second preview on the Timcast members only.
