00:02:32.000The reflecting pool has been vandalized quite a bit by unhinged liberals that hate Trump, no matter what he does, no matter why he does it.1.00
00:02:40.000And this has to be the stupidest story, maybe the stupidest story in my lifetime as it pertains to politics.0.99
00:02:46.000Donald Trump, the president, wanted to fix the reflecting pool in the National Mall, and it's had problems for decades.1.00
00:02:54.000It's been leaking, and it's been a massive strain on the D.C. water supply.
00:03:03.000Didn't go so well, but now there's been five arrests of individuals who have been accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool.
00:03:09.000And I'm already hearing from liberals saying no one is vandalizing it.
00:03:13.000Trump just failed, and the liner just cracked and peeled off for no reason.
00:03:17.000Yet there is a video of someone having etched 8647 into the reflecting pool.
00:03:24.000So clearly, these people are vandalizing it.
00:03:26.000Now, I'll just say this they've started putting up cameras, they're secretly filming people, there's informants, and there are people that are messing with the reflecting pool.
00:03:53.000Let's say somebody looks at the reflecting pool and sees a little piece that's like peeled or a bump.
00:03:58.000And so they start flicking it with their finger and peeling it and then walk away.
00:04:01.000And then someone else comes and pulls a little more.
00:04:03.000Eventually, the thing cracks off and they're like, hey, don't look at me.
00:04:05.000This is exactly what we see with riots.
00:04:08.000Where the individual doesn't walk up and yell, we're going to storm the building.
00:04:11.000One person goes up, others follow, and each takes a small action.
00:04:15.000So I think that's the important point as it pertains to these lesser issues of vandalism.
00:04:20.000The most important thing is there's quite literally graffiti on it, there are cuts to it.
00:04:24.000Trump says it's a 300 foot gash, which is crazy, and I don't know how much I believe it, but if you came to me and said, do you think that the people that sealed the reflecting pool failed, or do you think liberals vandalized it?
00:04:37.000I'm going to tell you that I think liberals vandalized it because.
00:04:40.000The fact that they're mad about it in the first place, and there are many of them, it's very easy to throw a wrench into the spokes of a machine.
00:05:09.000Apparently, his wife is being accused of running a nonprofit where big corporations were donating.
00:05:14.000And these are corporations that needed favors from Gavin Newsom, if you know what I mean.
00:05:18.000And then, of course, tomorrow we've got some SCOTUS rulings coming down, and it's going to be big if they rule or how they rule on Watson v. RNC, which could end universal mail in voting.
00:05:36.000Before we do, we've got a great sponsor for you guys Tax Network USA.
00:05:41.000Do you all owe back taxes or have unfiled tax returns?
00:05:44.000Or have you filed every year, but you still keep owing?
00:05:46.000Are you a business owner with messy books and a balance you cannot afford?
00:05:49.000However, your taxes are started, the outcome is the same.
00:05:52.000Your balance is not going down, penalties grow, interest compounds, and many of you are about to owe again for this upcoming tax year with no plan in place.
00:05:59.000Stop what you're doing and call Tax Network USA.
00:07:35.000Well, I mean, I'm hearing the news coming out of my hometown, not far from where I live, and it doesn't look good what's going on in Canada.
00:08:12.000It does look like the lady cop shoots the guy because the way the guy recoils when the shooting happens.
00:08:19.000And what people are saying is that the civilian is fleeing the shooter and he comes around the corner and she just looks up and shoots him without a second thought, you know?
00:08:45.000And then, one way or another, people are saying, you know, a civilian running up on a cop who's, who's, covered, you know, that you can't blame her.
00:08:53.000I just saw a tweet from Luke Rudkowski who said if she was trained properly, she wouldn't be cowering behind.
00:08:58.000And I'm not saying she is the wound, but the police officer would not be cowering behind a brick with no line of the threat.
00:09:04.000So it's, it's all, you know, post facto.
00:09:07.000But, um, We've got to know who the guy is, what the rationale was, and you know the government is going to jump on this tragedy.
00:10:41.000Yeah, like if you've ever had a fish tank and you get algae on the walls and you squeegee it off.
00:10:46.000Yeah, like when someone's windows got dust on and you kind of do one of these.
00:10:48.000I think that's like a spirit of the law, letter of the law type thing.
00:10:51.000I think given the point they're making, she's making it seem like it's crazy that somebody would bother doing anything there when clearly the idea is that.
00:10:58.000There are people there that don't like Trump and apparently don't like the reflecting pool redesigner.
00:11:07.000So it's like, is it necessarily vandalism?
00:11:10.000Perhaps not, but it's definitely still obviously causing all sorts of problems.
00:11:14.000I mean, look, I think it's an issue of the snowflakes and the avalanche.
00:11:19.000What I think happens is you've got probably tens of thousands of people passing by every day.
00:11:25.000And the story goes like this for a riot.
00:11:28.000When people break into a building during, like smash out windows, a single individual doesn't, for the most part, decide in their mind, you know what?
00:11:35.000I'm going to smash out the windows, storm into that building, and everyone will follow.
00:11:38.000What happens is you got a big crowd of people, and one guy walks towards the door.
00:11:43.000Everybody sees him walk towards the door, so they start following him.
00:11:46.000The guy, someone else says, Oh, is he going in the building?
00:11:49.000I'm going to see if the door's unlocked.
00:11:51.000And he grabs the door handle to pull on it to see if it's unlocked.
00:11:54.000Everybody else sees him reaching for the handle and thinks, Oh, we're going inside.
00:11:59.000And thinks, man, he can't get the door open, so they kick the door.
00:12:02.000Someone then sees him kick the door and goes, oh, we're breaking in.
00:12:05.000Everybody contributes one small thing without the intention, which creates a cascade effect where someone then launches a chair, shattering the window.
00:12:12.000Someone then says, I'm gonna peek inside to see what's up.
00:12:15.000People see him stick his head in and they assume we're going in.
00:12:18.000So, what I'm saying here is, we've got tons of these videos.
00:12:21.000If you look at the TMZ story, you can see this woman reaching down.
00:12:25.000This guy's filming her and she's grabbing something.0.94
00:12:32.000She may have reached in to feel the sealant.
00:12:34.000It could be very, very simple in that they seal the whole thing.
00:12:38.000Some lib walks up and says, I heard Trump ruined it because they're psychotically obsessed about it, reaches in and starts flicking at it and then walks away.
00:12:46.000Then another person walks up later and sees the edge peeled and then sticks their finger in it and peels a little bit and then walks away.
00:12:52.000You do that with 17 people throughout the day, and eventually a big chunk is now floating off, and none of them says, I did it.
00:12:59.000None of them will claim responsibility for it.
00:13:01.000But they have arrested five people already.
00:13:04.000One of these guys, I guess, is some Olympian kayaker.
00:13:11.000But the issue is actually, what I think happened is he was seen removing a piece of sealant, and they were like, okay, like that's it, it's you.
00:13:21.000And when he says, I didn't tear it, I didn't do anything, that's where it says to me that this is a snowflake and an avalanche scenario where the libs are all hyper obsessed with a collecting pool, so they're all contributing a little bit to its destruction, and no one's taking responsibility.
00:13:35.000Well, then is the idea here that he saw a piece hanging loose and he, without malice, he pulled it up and just did something he wasn't supposed to do?
00:13:42.000It's technically vandalism, but it's not what they're making it out to be here.
00:14:05.000And then you responded by turning and pointing to Brett and saying, that's a Nazi.
00:14:09.000Effectively, each of our individual statements does not warrant a legitimate threat under the eyes of the law.
00:14:15.000But together, Tweedledee and Tweedledum just instructed a crowd to go murder somebody.
00:14:20.000And if they do, those two individuals say, We never told them to.
00:14:23.000I just said Nazis should be, and then he pointed to a guy and called him a Nazi.
00:14:27.000Then, when the crowd reacts, they say, You can't charge us criminally.
00:14:31.000So, I look at this like, you know, I think it's fair to say, I don't think we have a dude jumping with a knife and just hacking away at it or anything crazy like that.
00:14:41.000I think we have unhinged libs jabbing at it and pulling at it because they hate Trump and they've heard these stories.
00:15:07.000At the end of the day, this is the same kind of thing as like Trump could cure cancer and then they'd be like, Oh, well, I'm on team cancer.
00:15:13.000You know, it's just that almost insane kind of like hatred for Trump is just like, Oh, if Trump did it, if Trump did it, then it's always bad.
00:15:59.000If there was some sort of suspicious activity on the perimeter, I would never doubt that it's not beyond the realm.0.92
00:16:04.000I mean, these people are nuts and they will do anything to sabotage Trump, even if it means lying, but certainly if they can actually make it happen in real life.
00:16:11.000So, throwing some nitrates and fertilizer, that's an easier thing to make algae bloom, not the end of the world.0.98
00:16:16.000Then he puts in the hydrogen peroxide and then a duck is found dead and then they say he killed the duck and this is the less version of Harambe.
00:16:37.000One of the explanations was that it was in the pipes and they couldn't get it out of the pipes until they flushed it out and that it was expected to have something of an algae bloom.
00:16:44.000Anybody who's from Canada, you know you get algae blooms in warm water in the summer.
00:17:37.000This is the $15 or $30 million it costs to fix the pool.
00:17:41.000That's the scandal, and they won't talk or don't want to talk about what happens in Minnesota, in California.
00:17:46.000I mean, the selective outrage over the minuscule, infinitesimal fraud compared to the other bigger stuff, this is their distraction.
00:17:55.000I think Trump is intentionally inflaming it.
00:17:59.000I think Trump is doing this because this story doesn't move the needle on favorability.
00:18:06.000Democrats are going to hate him, Republicans aren't going to care, and independents aren't going to care.
00:18:10.000So, Trump is probably like, I can have Iran war news where people are attacking us, which is in the news cycle right now, or we can just go ham on this.
00:18:29.000Well, it's not a bad idea that he's keeping this going and needling them so that they keep talking about it as opposed to focusing on other more substantive issues.
00:19:05.000When they focus on the dead duck and say Trump killed a baby duck with hydrogen peroxide, on the one hand, you know, the reasonable part of me says just tell them what the mortality rate of baby ducks are.1.00
00:19:15.000It's like 70% don't make it to adulthood.
00:19:17.000But the flip side is they're sending out the signal now kill a bird, throw a dead bird in the water, and blame it on Trump.
00:19:23.000It's the modern iteration of throwing a brick through your own window to fundraise.
00:20:13.000Critics said they speculated the hydrogen peroxide added to the reflecting pool to combat algae would have contributed to the duck's death.
00:20:21.000The amount of hydrogen peroxide they added to the reflecting pool won't even stop the algae.
00:20:25.000The most important thing to understand is when a bunch of dudes show up, each carrying two gallons, Of hydrogen peroxide, and they all dump it in the pool.
00:20:32.000It did kill the algae at the edge and then very quickly dissipates, and the algae came right back.
00:20:39.000So, when they're like, the hydrogen peroxide, no, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide they put in the reflecting pool was a waste of time.
00:20:51.000And then Hunter Biden comes out and he's talking to Joe Rogan about, like, Donald Trump does not own the White House to host these UFC events, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:58.000I'm just like, you guys don't actually care about.
00:22:21.000I realize now, upon reading this sentence, it is unclear if officials are pursuing a necropsy to identify the cause of death on a baby duck that died outside.
00:22:32.000We have won the culture war to such an extreme degree, the news has nothing to complain about except questioning whether government officials for the federal government of the United States will perform a necropsy on a duckling that died outside.
00:22:49.000I mean, if you weren't in the trenches when Peanut the Squirrel died by the hands of the government, then.
00:22:55.000But that was, I was going to say, a legitimate, unacceptable attempt.
00:23:01.000Do you remember, like, you saw last week when Trump had the UFC 250 and the bikers doing the tricks, and it was like, this is idiocracy.
00:23:07.000And I'm like, the people saying this is idiocracy are the ones walking around saying boys can be girls and are crying over a baby dead duck.0.96
00:23:22.000From Trump's Truth Social, he says, Here's another example of a crazy pro algae, likely paid protester.
00:23:29.000The sign says, First, they came for the algae, which is a reference to the famous post World War II statement about Germans not speaking out against Nazis.
00:23:37.000And they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out.0.98
00:24:12.000And it was funny because my friend was the manager, and she told the staff, Someone has to put on the ice cream man suit and go dance outside.
00:24:20.000This is at the Daily Center in Chicago.
00:24:21.000I didn't work there, I just hung out because I was like, you know, I was 18, and I was like, it was fun.
00:25:40.000Well, but if you say first they came for the algae and you're making the comparison between that poem, you're basically saying that Jews are a form of pond scum, which is sort of the self-owner that you probably don't want to be saying.0.99
00:26:35.000So, Dow Chemical owned a company called Union Carbide.
00:26:39.000There is, I think it's in India, a small village.
00:26:42.000There was a chemical spill which just killed and maimed tons of people.
00:26:45.000It's the Bhopal chemical disaster.0.51
00:26:48.000And they absolved themselves of responsibility, refused to pay anything out, and said, screw off.0.91
00:26:55.000So, what the S men did was they made a fake Dow Chemical website with a fake email address that looked legitimate and waited for media inquiries.0.68
00:27:03.000And they got one, I think it was from the BBC.
00:27:06.000So, one of these guys agrees to appear as a representative of Dow Chemical on the BBC.
00:27:12.000And they're like, wow, the BBC is all excited.
00:27:15.000Like, on the anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, we're going to get a representative to speak out.
00:27:19.000And he publicly announces on the air that they are accepting full responsibility for the disaster, will be liquidating Eugene Carbide to pay all of the families that were negatively impacted.
00:27:29.000Immediately, Dow stock collapses because all the investors are like, oh no, they're accepting responsibility for their disaster.
00:27:37.000And then, once Dow immediately issued a response saying, this is fake, we take no responsibility, the stock skyrocketed.
00:27:45.000The only reason I'm morally against that is because you gave the victims false hope that they would actually be compensated.
00:27:50.000So it's sort of at the expense of the victims.0.99
00:28:21.000To a certain extent, though, people now know who Alex Stein is, but.
00:28:24.000If conservatives were pulling this off, I suppose the issue is it's harder to call it culture jamming these days because we're in a culture war, right?
00:28:33.000So culture jamming makes sense when it's almost everybody at the time when the S Men did this loved what they did.
00:28:41.000It was the major companies that were upset they did it, but the people were all laughing.
00:28:45.000Left and right thought it was hilarious.
00:28:48.000Now, though, it's half the country versus half the country.
00:28:57.000Well, because when you're at war, psychological operations are psychological operations.
00:29:01.000Well, also the false flag, humiliating things like that is, everybody would agree that's humiliating for anybody who would call themselves progressive if it's a bona fide progressive.
00:29:11.000I feel like you're forgetting who progressives are.
00:29:15.000Well, they do think that women can have she nesses, as we say, as Justin Trudeau once called it.
00:29:34.000Amphifa, first they came for the algae.1.00
00:29:39.000It does seem like parody, but here's the thing.
00:29:41.000I hearken back to Dennis Prager on Real Time with Bill Maher when he said they're putting tampons in the men's room, and everyone laughed at Prager, and Bill Maher said, Oh, that's for their girlfriends.
00:30:32.000But I like when I first saw her do it, I thought it was funny either way.
00:30:35.000Like even if she was actually a liberal being like, I'm going to antagonize conservatives by act like doing this, I was like, I get it.
00:30:43.000You know, I thought that she was like for a little while, she was somewhat not well, she was always trolling and she was always, you know, looking for a reaction.
00:31:48.000Like, if someone came to you and said, Would you like to try and reason with these leftists, or would you just like to corral them like sheep with a sheepdog?
00:31:56.000It's like, to be honest, we've tried communicating with these people.
00:32:32.000So what would you do in a democratic constitutional republic where you are saying that we must inform the people so that they may make the right decisions?
00:32:42.000And this guy walks in a frog costume and says, I don't want you to kill the toxic algae in the reflecting pool.
00:32:47.000Well, there's an interesting argument there.
00:32:49.000Like, you know, when someone overpays for something, they say, well, how dare you gouge me?0.98
00:32:52.000And, like, well, how dare you be dumb enough to overpay for something?0.97
00:32:56.000If I could figure out a way to, like, trick squirrels into cleaning my gutters, I guess I would do it.0.95
00:33:01.000If you view humans the way some of these politicians view humans, like, these people are so dumb, I can get clout off of them, I can get money off of them, and I am not my brother's keeper.0.99
00:33:11.000If you walk through the world like that, I can understand how the Adam Schiffs of the world and the Gavin Newsom's will willingly and knowingly exploit idiots for their own benefit, but they cloak it in benevolence and they cloak it in political righteousness.0.99
00:34:32.000So you'll have someone stand up, put their arms out, and then lift one leg.
00:34:37.000What you'll then do is when their arms are out, you put your hand on the arm and move slightly at a downward angle away from their center of gravity.
00:36:19.000Let's say you actually have a medication that doctors around the world use that is considered a miracle drug that's, I don't know, cures blindness or something from a parasite, just hypothetically.
00:36:34.000And then doctors are like, I would like to prescribe this.
00:36:37.000Then the federal government says, No, to protect the public from liars, we will not allow you to prescribe this medication.
00:36:43.000But what if the medication actually works?
00:36:46.000That's the challenge we have when it comes to should the government tell people they cannot make claims.
00:36:52.000Now, I understand it's like you can't make knowingly false claims, but that doesn't matter.
00:36:56.000Because if there's a doctor who genuinely believes that a treatment will work, but the government says it won't, they will just accuse him of knowing that it won't because they told him.
00:37:07.000Should we say you can't sell products that are doofy and goofy and trick people, but then we run into the issue where sometimes legitimate products get banned?
00:37:22.000And all these other government organizations to get your approval to make it to make the claim that it's some type of life, you know, saving treatment.
00:37:29.000It also depends on, you know, if you got a whatever a substance that cures a disease or whatever in 60% of the population, but 40% of the population, 40% of the time it doesn't work.
00:37:43.000Can you say, oh, it doesn't work or or it only works a certain amount of time?
00:37:47.000I'm just saying this what about when the salesman is right and the government is withholding, lying, or acting in fraud?
00:37:56.000You can bar people from selling something, or do we want to just say, let the buyer beware?
00:38:01.000No, I think it'd buyer beware is probably.
00:38:03.000In that case, you'll get snake oil salesmen and fraud.
00:38:06.000And the issue ultimately is that this is what politics is.
00:38:09.000And I don't think that any of us would advocate for the government shutting down the Democratic Party and having that absolute control because that will just result in homogenization.
00:38:19.000We don't like the Democrats lie and manipulate people for power and use weird mail in voting things.
00:38:24.000So the solution there is to have standardized and secure voting systems or a system by which you must know who you're voting for.
00:38:33.000If we say, no, we're going to ban Democrats because they're liars, then you are just opening the door to people in power having the right to ban whatever you do.
00:38:42.000Well, I mean, I, you know, the deliberate fraudulent misrepresentations, I think, is a threshold everybody can agree with.
00:38:48.000The borderline, or if they make you put on a statement that says, this hasn't been tested or this has not been recognized by the government to treat whatever, that already exists.
00:38:57.000But, you know, under Quebec law, we have a concept called bon dol, which is good fraud, which is like a car salesman saying, this is the best car on earth, and nobody's going to believe it's the best car on earth.
00:39:07.000It's just sort of, Legitimate expected exaggeration.0.98
00:40:12.000If Trump really wants to make the brains of these progressives over the pond melt down, he should bottle and sell the algae water for the 250th and make it an unsealable bottle so that nobody can break it open and drink it.
00:41:03.000It was like, ah, how could you buy that?
00:41:04.000And I said, well, one of the pairs of shoes we brought to Amfest and had the cast of Timcast IRL sign it, and Charlie Kirk signed it.
00:41:12.000And then we, Tossed it out to the crowd, and someone has that shoe somewhere and it's autographed by Charlie Kirk, and then they all kind of just shut up.
00:41:22.000My only problem with you having gotten the $500 ones is those weren't available by the time I went to get them, so I had to settle for the.
00:43:08.000At what point, when Trump leaves office, does it become the algae of like the next administration?
00:43:13.000Like, that's the other thing about this is like, when you think about it, it's not like Trump is out there writing the standard operating procedure for what to do with the reflecting pool.
00:43:21.000It's just something that happens under his administration, which just makes it even worse.
00:44:25.000I've done the seaweed, but not algae that I know of because I was always brought up that you're not supposed to drink green algae or algae infested water.
00:44:32.000Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing.
00:44:35.000You know, if it's like a powdered thing, and there's like, no, these are the good algae.
00:44:38.000Just like, you know, you're not supposed to eat mushrooms that are just out in the woods, but there are certain mushrooms that are alleged to expand your mind, bro, and make you be able to control the weather.
00:45:26.000I'm predicting it now, and I think it's actually going to happen.
00:45:28.000They're going to throw dead animals in, claim they died.
00:45:30.000I also suspect they're going to maybe start thinking of sabotaging, put it in quotes, by like dumping goldfish in the pond by the bag, and then you can't get them out.
00:46:22.000I do know of that, I legit know of because my daughter keeps showing me these TikTok videos of these people that get on the backs of the pigs and they go in the ocean with them, and she wants to go swimming.
00:46:29.000Well, I don't know if you get on their backs, but.
00:46:31.000So basically, like, I think it was the Spanish settlers brought pigs and then they were like farming them on the island.
00:46:35.000But when they left, they left the pigs behind.
00:46:37.000So the pigs started swimming around and now there's swimming pigs in this island.
00:47:10.000Some weird, like I said, they're running towards it with like your hand in your shirt and they shoot you because they think you're, you have a gun, but it's just a bunch of goldfish and a bag.
00:47:19.000Or it's like a, a de algification powder.
00:47:22.000They're like, well, I mean, it looked, it looked like terrorism, right?
00:47:25.000You're just dumping chemicals into like a place by a national monument.
00:47:29.000We got to jump to this next story because, uh, here you go.
00:47:32.000Trump's newest obsession seems to be over the number 22, but nobody knows what it means.
00:47:38.000Um, I really want to bash my face on this table over and over again.
00:47:45.000You know, I feel like for a regular person, you can look at this headline and get filled with rage because you're like, what the is wrong with these people?
00:47:57.000The thing is, for those of us that are in politics and have lived in politics for our whole lives, this is how every single article has always been.0.88
00:48:05.000When they're like, Donald Trump overfed the fish that, oh yeah, in the koi pond with Shinzo Abe, those of us in politics are like, He did, like, we know you're lying and insane.0.97
00:48:15.000But for regular people, I feel like this is finally an open window where you're going to say to regular people, Brendan Rashis of The Independent is a retard.0.94
00:48:47.000And they said Trump has claimed the US military destroyed 22 Iranian ships, said he proved 22 Nobel Prize winning economists wrong, and he reported meeting with 22 medical specialists.
00:52:07.000It's, it's, but it's pure delusional insanity.
00:52:10.000And look, you have to cast a wide net when you're looking for the kind of money that the ADL is looking because they've got a lot of Nazis to pay.
00:53:16.000But by the way, do you know what their argument was for how it became a hate symbol after they had to recognize they got duped by the 4chan scam?
00:53:24.000That it got co opted after they duped them.1.00
00:53:26.000So now that they got duped like the idiots that they are and people started doing it as a joke and co opting it, then it became retrospectively retroactive.1.00
00:53:33.000It was because Trump would always do the thing with his fingers.1.00
00:53:36.000AOC and Obama are the amount of pictures he gets.
00:53:39.000And every basketball player, when they get a three pointer, they do the three sign.
00:53:43.000But Trump, when he would talk, he would put his finger stick out there and go like this.
00:53:46.000He would be like, listen, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:53:48.000And so then people started doing the okay hand sign because Trump did it.
00:53:51.000And then 4chan decided they should make it a white power symbol.
00:53:55.000But I will just say, in this, I hope you guys just remember the Trump playing the accordion videos.
00:56:38.000But I remember vaguely what you're referring to, where he made a meme and then it went viral among the right and he was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
00:57:02.000And then people started making a bunch of meme versions of it where it was like, my girlfriend, you know, I watched my girlfriend get banged by a bull.
00:57:34.000I think there's, unfortunately, there was unity during the meme war back in the day.
00:57:39.000I think it's, Tough to have a meme war where you have a unified conservative versus Democrat when there's a lot of infighting on the right.
00:57:48.000Yeah, but I think that that's more because of the fact that we're off cycle right now, right?
00:57:52.000Because I was listening to John Doyle talk about this today.
00:57:56.000Like everybody kind of coalesced around Donald Trump when he was running.
00:58:00.000People on the right were just like, these things, these tertiary topics or these other topics, they're not super important to us.
00:58:05.000We really need to go ahead and support the guy that's going to actually be the nominee for the Republicans.
00:58:13.000And we have to make sure that Joe Biden or Kamala Harris are beat, right?
00:58:16.000And I think that that's something that you likely will see.
00:58:20.000As we get close, once the midterms are over and the actual race for 2028 gets underway, you'll see a lot of the tertiary stuff going away.
00:58:32.000I think that there is going to be a vocal but small group of people, speaking of Tucker Carlson, that won't want to vote for the Republicans.
00:58:46.000I think the Israel topic is a little bit sticky, and there are going to be people that are going to be.
00:58:51.000You know, I won't vote for a Republican because they're going to support Israel because they don't have the right policy takes on Israel.
00:58:58.000But I think that the numbers of people that are going to be specifically with this new party, if it does actually materialize, they're going to be about the size of the Libertarian Party, three to 5%.
00:59:12.000But I think overall, people are going to look at whatever option the Democrats have, whether it be Gavin Newsom or AOC or whoever, who have you, and whoever is the people that are running on the Republican side.
00:59:24.000And they're going to say, all right, these people are clearly.
00:59:26.000Better than going back to the days of the left kind of running the show.
00:59:33.000Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.
00:59:39.000I never would have seen this coming that Tucker Carlson and Joy Reid, you know, the meme where it's like the white guy and the black guy and they're putting their arms together?
00:59:47.000Tucker Carlson says he's abandoning the GOP over Israel, and Joy Reid says she's abandoning the Democrats over Israel.
00:59:54.000So, not that they agree on, you know, I'm just saying like they're both taking a similar stance of saying, The main principal party of our side is bad because they have sided with Israel.
01:00:06.000I would not support the Republican Party.
01:00:08.000There's no chance I would support the Republican Party.
01:00:10.000I'm not going to support the Democratic Party.
01:00:11.000I don't know what I'm going to do.0.71
01:00:13.000But at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?
01:00:26.000It's not possible to vote for people like that.
01:00:55.000Joy Reid ditches voting for Democrats unless the party completely abandons Israel.
01:00:58.000So we've got the now, you know, I know you can stomach at least somewhat listening to Tucker.
01:01:02.000This won't be tough for you guys, but we'll do it.
01:01:04.000But for me, the problem is not so much her, it's the party.0.72
01:01:08.000The Democratic Party is as married to this Israel over everything, Israel no matter what, Israel no matter what they do, no matter how many people they kill.0.85
01:01:18.000The Democrats were as married to that as the Republicans.0.83
01:01:20.000And so it would take a really strong Democrat.
01:01:23.000It would take a Mamdani style event to get a Democrat to say that they weren't getting down with that.0.92
01:01:30.000But to me, I going forward cannot vote for a Democrat.0.99
01:01:35.000Who does not pledge to end this relationship?
01:01:41.000This is a nuclear armed expansionist power.
01:01:44.000Okay, so are we going to play prediction market odds on when Tucker and Joy Reid do a show together, laugh, smile, and just bash Israel the whole time and completely agree?
01:02:00.000And now I will also add, having said that, there will be a reaction from anti Israel people who are going to take what I said as some kind of negative, despite the fact nothing about it was negative, just to point out that Tucker and Joy would do a show together bashing Israel.
01:02:13.000See, the thing is, how you react to that statement really says a lot about what you actually think.
01:02:18.000Which is kind of my point on the whole Israel anti Israel stuff that the moment you bring it up, it has to be an explicit condemnation and praise of those attacking it.
01:02:29.000Otherwise, the subject matter itself is presumed negative, which means you have a cognitive bias and dissonance on the issue of Israel.
01:02:52.000To say I'm not going to support the Republican Party presumes that the next candidate is going to be as pro Israel as what seems to be the current state of the administration.
01:03:03.000If JD Vance is the candidate, whether or not he's supporting the GOP, he's going to support JD Vance because JD Vance has a more realistic and more pragmatic perspective on what the relationship with Israel should be.
01:03:15.000When it comes to Joy Reid, it's just the intellectual dishonesty and inconsistency.0.62
01:03:21.000She's a vocal supporter of Ukraine.1.00
01:03:22.000Like, send as much tax dollars over to Ukraine as you want.
01:03:25.000But when it's Israel, then it's not acceptable anymore, which can allow you to question her motives as to why she'll support $300 billion to one country, but not to another.
01:03:37.000And now, if she wanted to be consistent, where I understand people's criticism of the relationship with Israel, the U.S.'s relationship with Israel, because they look at it the same way they looked at the relationship with Ukraine.
01:04:24.000Tucker, I don't know that I thought he was a hypocrite.
01:04:28.000That Sheldon Adelson and Miriam Adelson were big time supporters of Donald Trump to help him get elected in his first term, his second attempt.0.81
01:04:35.000And then when Sheldon died, Miriam Adelson.
01:04:37.000And when Tucker was apologizing for having backed Donald Trump, his brother literally said to him, maybe the money from Miriam Adelson meant something.
01:04:44.000And he goes, because Tucker knew the whole time what he was supporting.
01:04:50.000Now, if Tucker were to come out and say, I should never have backed Israel, and explicitly state, I knew they were doing it, and I didn't know.0.75
01:05:06.000Bro, that is hypocrisy and a lie because dude knew exactly what Miriam Adelson meant.
01:05:11.000Okay, that, that, I, people apologizing for what they did at the time knowingly that they meant to do, that's an, it's not even an apology.
01:05:18.000Like when people say, Viva, apologize for a joke you made or a statement you made, it's like, I'm not apologizing for something I did on purpose that I meant and that I didn't think was wrong at the time.
01:05:40.000I think a lot of people did not think that thought.
01:05:42.000And then his brother said, maybe Miriam Madison's money was for something.
01:05:47.000And then he laughed because it was explicitly reported that Miriam Madison offered between $100 and $150 million in super PAC support to Trump if he backed Israel, specifically because she wants the West Bank annexed.
01:06:00.000If you want to tell me that Tucker Carlson's so bad at his job, he did not know this story that everybody knew and was a major point of contention, by all means, fine.
01:06:25.000I think there's a legit argument to be made if you give someone the benefit of the doubt.
01:06:29.000Everybody knew of the amount of Adelson's contributions.
01:06:33.000I think people were optimistic based on the campaign of 2024 that despite that, it would be an administration for the people, the populist class, and not for the donor class.
01:06:44.000And then it took a turn at some point.
01:06:45.000Into the administration, not starting off with.
01:06:48.000It was Trump got elected by the donor class.
01:06:57.000The attention, I don't think anyone will look at the first three months of the presidency and say that he was placating the donor class.0.85
01:07:02.000I think pardoning the Jan Sixers was not.
01:07:06.000Ross Albrecht, that was holding his presidency.
01:07:07.000Which was pissing off the donor class.
01:07:09.000Something happened, or there was a shift in the tide at some point, and maybe they said, you know, maybe the pressure became more overt.1.00
01:07:16.000I don't think the conservative donor class cared about the J6 pardons.1.00
01:07:20.000I think they're just like, sure, I don't know, whatever.0.99
01:07:23.000Wouldn't the donor class be more upset about the Doge stuff because of all the connections between private business and government?
01:07:29.000Well, it might be why Doge was shut down and they didn't really do much with it.
01:07:43.000This is what USAID did it funded activism.
01:07:49.000Really, it was about overthrowing and manipulating governments across the world and things like this.
01:07:54.000Trump getting rid of that was absolutely fantastic, but Trump was targeting different donors.
01:07:58.000And now, the interesting thing, especially with Trump 24, the Democrats were in trouble because they embraced the anti Israel progressives.
01:08:05.000So, major billionaire donors, Bill Ackman's a good example, were like, I'm not going to be a part of a Democratic Party that hates Israel.
01:08:23.000And if Tucker came out and said, I have evolved on the issue of Israel, I have learned what they do and how they do it, and I was ignorant and blind, and I made a mistake in back and I shouldn't have done it.
01:08:33.000I'd say that's not hypocrisy, that's honesty.
01:08:35.000But when he says, I did not know, I apologize, that's him going, hey, I got a bigger audience over here.
01:08:44.000It's the off season in American politics, views are way down.
01:08:47.000So why need a new audience to maintain viewership and make money?
01:08:50.000It also makes sense because he said, he said he's worked in news his whole life, he's voted Republican his whole life.
01:08:55.000And even somebody who only kind of tangentially pays attention to politics understands how connected.
01:09:00.000You know, Israel is with the U.S. government and with our party.
01:09:03.000You know, I just don't believe the sincerity of high profile individuals who, in the span of a couple of months, just all of a sudden inverted their political positions.
01:09:14.000Every day is basically a slow news day, and they're looking to keep their numbers up, I think.
01:09:17.000Honestly, that's a good portion of it.
01:09:19.000And so I imagine Tucker knew that by coming out against the Republican Party, he was going to be a worldwide trend.
01:09:25.000When I jokingly said I was endorsing RFK Jr., the media ran the story like crazy because they wanted to write Tim Pool ditches Trump.
01:09:34.000But the real reason I wrote, I'm endorsing RFK Jr. Was because I was in an argument with prominent Trump diehards attacking Joe Rogan.
01:11:50.000All the influencers on social media are getting paid to say the things that they pay when they post about we should get welfare for sodas or India is the best, or when all of these right wing influencers are promoting some Papua New Guinea gambling website.
01:12:49.000And then all of a sudden, a bunch of conservatives were like, the government can't tell us what we're allowed to buy.
01:12:55.000People should be allowed to buy soda pop on welfare benefits.
01:12:58.000Which is a dumb argument because when it's with a government subsidy, you're damn right they can dictate what you do with what they give you.0.73
01:13:05.000And there's a couple companies that work with a ton of these right wing personalities that know they will say whatever.0.96
01:13:10.000So I want to give a shout out to Riley Gaines for promoting Animal Farm.
01:13:19.000I imagine that the track of my career will be me sitting in a ditch somewhere with a long, scraggly beard covered in dirt.1.00
01:13:25.000Because I am unwilling to play the stupid political games.0.96
01:13:29.000So, when they offered us mid five figures for the Animal Farm sponsorship, I put out a tweet saying, I reject this and I'm so offended by it, I will announce this.0.99
01:13:40.000And I did it because I knew a bunch of grifter right wingers were going to praise this communist movie for money because everything is fake.
01:13:49.000There's a small handful of honest individuals and everybody else knows full well.
01:13:54.000And I remember that moment back when I was a lot younger.
01:13:57.000When Michael Moore was asked by somebody, Lukakowski knows more about this.
01:14:15.000Like 19 or might have been loose change or something.
01:14:17.000And I'm just like, Michael Moore knows more than he puts in his documentaries because he puts in his documentaries something that is valuable to someone with power so that he will also get power.
01:14:27.000If he actually did legitimate documentaries that actually spoke truth to power, they would not let them run.
01:14:32.000I do have to say, your analysis of Animal Farm, like I would have never taken the movie seriously because it was.
01:14:56.000Like they were trying to sabotage Angel Studios.
01:14:58.000Well, the fact that Napoleon farts and goes, here, that's the sound of freedom.
01:15:03.000Which is explicitly an attack against what made Angel Studios big, the sound of framing their movie.
01:15:09.000I was told I'm sensitive for thinking that that was a deliberate joke that was totally inappropriate and denigrates their entire brand.
01:15:17.000But the idea of being paid to give a fake opinion of a movie, and again, it goes back to people saying, well, I would have, this was my opinion anyhow, I may as well get paid for it.
01:15:27.000You remember Dinesh got into big trouble for, or, you know, got some blowback for putting out a, it was either, It was one of the markets.
01:16:36.000And I said, you know, it would have been helpful.
01:16:37.000If it was clarified, it was a Polymarket sponsored tweet and not one of the packs.
01:16:42.000But again, the second money exchanges hands, and you're attaching it to what is purportedly a sincerely held belief, you can't criticize people or blame people for thinking that taints the purportedly sincerely held belief.
01:16:55.000You know, the way I see it is that the truth has no advocates and lies have lobbyists.
01:17:02.000So when you look at the truth, for what reason would the left call out Angel Studios putting out a communist film?
01:17:12.000Well, they don't get paid if they do, so they don't.
01:17:15.000So right wingers promoted the film, took the money, and equivocated and lied and said whatever they had to say to justify taking the money.
01:17:22.000And the left let them do it because the film was communist.
01:17:26.000So the truth doesn't have a paid advocate because the truth doesn't make money.
01:17:30.000Or, flip side, a lot of them did not have the fundamental, intricate understanding of the book itself to even adequately compare it to the movie.
01:17:38.000Your analysis and your understanding of the book itself made me want to go back and reread it.
01:19:49.000And as it was explained to me when I was 19 years old by this wealthy guy at some political fundraiser in Chicago, some guy said to me, Listen, somebody's got to work at McDonald's.
01:20:20.000But my point is liberals think you are lying about everything all the time.
01:20:23.000So when you say you have your credibility, my point is half the country thinks you're a liar and half the country thinks you're honest.0.89
01:20:28.000I think even liberals know that I'm damn accurate most of the time.
01:20:31.000And when I make a mistake, I admit it.
01:21:22.000I think the challenge is when a woman has a serious medical issue, the pro life stance would result in the woman having to go to a judge to get a writ before she can get a medical treatment.
01:21:32.000While I'm not a fan of abortionist contraception, I don't know if you could put a legal restriction in place where a woman is needing a medical intervention, like the baby and the mom are going to die, would have to seek a judge.
01:21:42.000And then he goes, Well, yeah, but like, what would a conservative say?
01:21:46.000And then I said, Well, a conservative would say.
01:21:49.000Then when I said it, he started screaming in the top of my lungs about how I was sick.1.00
01:21:53.000For claiming these things about how saying that a young girl who was raped would have to have that baby, you sick!0.98
01:21:59.000And then he goes, I just want to get that clip real quick.0.99
01:22:28.000I'm imagining he's a millionaire off this stuff.
01:22:30.000So, how do you convince, like, listen, I don't want to single the guy out because conservatives, obviously, when these people came out and said, India is our greatest partner, we should be doing all of these things for India.
01:22:42.000It's like, yeah, you got paid for that.
01:22:44.000Writing op eds for India, shilling welfare benefits for soda, you may as well be a lib when you're like, we should be allowed to buy soda with welfare cards.
01:22:52.000It's just, guys, 90% on the left and the right are going to be grifters.
01:22:57.000They're getting paid to say the things that they say.
01:22:59.000And then on the left, I find almost no honest people.1.00
01:23:02.000They're either really dumb or lying.0.97
01:23:04.000And on the right, you do have a handful of people that are genuinely honest and are not getting paid to do these things.0.99
01:23:10.000We don't get paid to do these things, and I reject them.
01:23:12.000And that's why I called out Angel Studios.
01:23:13.000I don't care if they claim to be Christian, conservative, or otherwise.
01:23:16.000When they were like, we want you to promote this and we'll give you a lot of money to do it, I said, hell no.
01:23:21.000It is amazing to not have, I appreciate marketing is one thing, but to not have sufficient confidence in the quality of your own product that you got to pay people to convince people it's good.
01:23:32.000Movie videos go viral on the movie, but at least in the context of the animal farm stuff, that was an op.
01:23:37.000The whole point of that was to basically like stain what conservatives thought as a timeless argument for their perspective, right?
01:23:49.000And what they wanted to do was to actually like that's a demoralization.
01:23:54.000I think they wanted to expose the right as being willing to shill for communism for money.
01:23:59.000Well, if that fits into, I believe it was sabotage on Angel Farms.
01:26:23.000And you go, Capitalism is the private trade between individuals who choose.
01:26:28.000What you're talking about is protectionism, which is the government intervening to the benefit of powerful elites, which is what communists have always done.
01:26:36.000So communists are mad about the communist encroach in the United States, and they've been convinced capitalism, free trade amongst individuals, is the problem because they're not smart enough to understand it.
01:26:47.000And there's a difference between the people who write the movies and the people who green light and fund them.
01:26:51.000So the people who fund the movies just look at it as a way to make money, even if it's not a message that's inherent to what they believe in.
01:26:58.000And the people who write the movies might be true believers, might not, but more often than not, they get their paycheck up front.
01:27:04.000Some of them might, some of the actors that are really, really big will take their points on the back end and bet on themselves that they'll make more if the movie does well.
01:27:12.000But the writer who doesn't care for that doesn't matter.
01:27:15.000They just write the movie and then whatever happens, happens.
01:27:17.000We're going to save the Montreal shooting story for the uncensored portion because there is video that one of the issues of contention is whether or not the female cop killed a civilian.
01:27:28.000We can't show this on YouTube, but Rumble.
01:27:30.000We can, and also with the caveats, don't, it's not for your kids.
01:27:33.000It's the uncensored portion, not so family friendly.
01:27:35.000But we can talk about this from Politico California clashes with Trump DOJ over election fraud.
01:27:41.000I'd like to introduce you all to evil.
01:27:45.000When I show you this story, state officials say they're monitoring federal activity after prosecutors announce investigations tied to the primary count.
01:27:53.000The first question I have for Viva What is the purpose of any investigation?
01:27:59.000Presumably, it's to determine if charges should be.
01:29:17.000Let me start by saying this because I'm going to drop the hammer in a second on Politico.
01:29:21.000In California, James O'Keefe documented homeless people getting paid to sign petitions and government forms under false names and identities.
01:29:31.000These accusations have been around for a long time.
01:29:33.000The fact that there is a video of a man going, Yeah, I'm Teresa, and signing the document, that there are people saying, I got paid $5 to sign this petition.
01:29:43.000To specify, homeless people on Skid Row who are clearly unwell.
01:29:48.000Now, when you have an investigation into this fraud, Whether or not it's true or not, we're looking for the evidence to back up these claims.
01:29:56.000I would argue that James O'Keefe's videos provide evidence, but not government level evidence.
01:30:02.000For the government, it is akin to the smell of weed.
01:30:05.000I saw a video, but we don't know for sure.
01:30:07.000We weren't there, and we can't attest to it.
01:30:09.000So, we have probable cause to believe that these stories indicate a crime has been committed, and we must launch an investigation to determine if that is actually the case.
01:30:18.000Now, if you're on the other side of that fraud, as in the criminal conducting it, you are going to want to Poison the well and make sure no one believes a crime has been committed, and you want to accuse your enemies of being corrupt.
01:30:32.000They say tensions between the Trump administration and California Democratic leaders escalated as primary ballot counting continued Friday after a federal prosecutor said, without evidence, that he's investigating unspecified allegations of voter fraud.
01:30:46.000Now, the first thing I want to point out is I'm going to say it explicitly this is evil and they are lying to manipulate people.
01:30:54.000The next thing I want to point out is remove the without evidence.
01:31:37.000The person's telling you he's doing it.
01:31:40.000There's nothing to prove that he's doing it other than to say you are.
01:31:42.000The without evidence is a poison the well caveat.
01:31:45.000So when liberals or moderates read this, the presumption they're intended to make is that Trump is fabricating claims of fraud so they can steal political power.
01:31:54.000But I will stress one more time sorry, it says a federal prosecutor said he's investigating.
01:31:59.000You don't need to prove you're investigating something.
01:32:01.000Did we not do this the last time where we pulled up a series of articles that had without evidence?
01:32:06.000And basically, it becomes the predictor.
01:32:08.000I mean, my experience now is when they throw in the without evidence, it becomes the predictor that what they're actually trying to deny is true.
01:32:28.000I had on a guy named Mark Grobert the week after the election.
01:32:32.000Who has explained how these long count ballot harvesting systems work in California?
01:32:36.000He's a journalist, used to be in Hollywood, called it to a T and predicted exactly how it was going to go.
01:32:43.000And it played out exactly how it did, where you have people register to non existent addresses or literal homeless people, drug addicts, who are being paid to do this.
01:32:53.000And so they just go, it takes a month to count the ballots.
01:32:55.000You can accept them for a week after election day.
01:32:58.000And it's documented, it's predicted, it's predictable, and it comes to fruition.
01:33:02.000But they throw in the word without evidence.
01:33:51.000You know, they started editorializing in the headlines.
01:33:55.000And, like, I don't recall seeing that prior to Donald Trump, right?
01:34:00.000During the whole George Bush administration, there were all kinds of times when they could have said that George Bush said in the headline that George Bush was wrong or something.
01:34:18.000Like they could have done the same kind of things, you know, at all in any time previously, but it started with Donald Trump.
01:34:26.000And I don't know if that is actually because of Donald Trump or because society had changed so much leading up to that, you know, 2016 or whatever.
01:34:36.000The average attention span of a person is so low now, I would be willing to bet that they want the person who's looking to confirm their own bias to read.
01:34:43.000And as soon as they get to the word without evidence, they just shut it off.
01:34:46.000They stop reading any further because they've had their bias confirmed.
01:34:49.000I mean, maybe, but they still want that click.
01:34:51.000And if it's just in the headline, you don't expand the page.
01:35:32.000They have their audience and they want happy return customers.
01:35:36.000And if they just say, yeah, after a shocking video emerges of crackheads saying, I don't know if it's true, they might be lying or they might be confused.
01:35:45.000After a shocking video, multiple videos of crackheads say they got paid $2, $5.
01:36:41.000Nobody said I can't take money and I live here and I don't care who I vote for.
01:36:45.000So give me five bucks and I'll sign whatever.
01:36:46.000I think that the actual exchange of money is illegal, but they, James O'Keefe went and actually, I'm not sure, actually, I'm not sure if it was James O'Kefe that actually did this, but there was a video of someone going to the police saying, hey, They're over there giving money for people to register to vote and voting.
01:37:02.000And the cop was like, That sounds like a civil issue.
01:37:06.000Outside of being told by his commanding officer to go do something about it, I just can't imagine them going into it.
01:37:19.000And it likely isn't something that the average police would consider in their wheelhouse or whatever, you know?
01:37:27.000But otherwise, aside from that, aside from the direct cash payments for getting the votes, all of the other stuff that makes California's voting system questionable for.
01:37:42.000For lack of a better term, um, all of it's codified in law, and this is something that we've been talking about a lot.
01:37:47.000The two dollars was not for the vote, it was compensation for time for them to listen.
01:37:51.000And then, yeah, you know, it's um, it's terrible, it's like, but you can never get out of the system.
01:37:57.000And now you've got, you know, I think Spencer Pratt is basically relinquished.
01:38:00.000You've got commie and super commie running for mayor now, and well, possibly it depends on how the supreme court vote, uh, of the case comes down, I guess, tomorrow.
01:38:10.000And if they have if they say that they have to that retroactively change it, I don't know if they it might, I mean, maybe, but.
01:38:16.000Or maybe not, but at the same time, if they're still counting now and the Supreme Court says, you know, then it's like, hey, you at least have to stop counting.
01:38:23.000So, you know, whatever her name is, I think it's Tandir, it would still be the second highest vote getter in the LA mayor's race.
01:38:35.000But I would like to see the Supreme Court rule that you have to stop on the, at the very least, have to stop on election day.
01:38:52.000It's not going to be state mayoral or governor elections.
01:38:55.000The states can, constitutionally, states will dictate how they do their elections, but the federal government can say, this is when it has to stop.0.99
01:39:04.000If I understand correctly, someone out there can check me and tell me I'm an idiot.0.99
01:39:09.000All that I know is everybody saw what was going to happen.
01:39:12.000I mean, Nithya Rahman was crying during her, if they call it a concession speech, she never formally conceded, but she was referring to her campaign in the past tense, and we tried and we did, and we still made a mark.
01:39:23.000And when we first started, Nobody knew who we were, and we had no institutional power.
01:39:28.000And you count long enough, and she made up a seven percent differential because, my goodness, it's uh, it was the midnight bump, it was the midnight Biden bump.
01:39:36.000It just took uh, you know, three weeks to manufacture.
01:39:39.000You have to find those crackheads and pay them and get those ballots and get them in.
01:39:42.000You can count them a week after election day, so long as they're postmarked before or on election day.
01:39:51.000Look, this is the blueprint for what the democrats want to do, you know, federally, and you know.
01:39:58.000Obviously, we all hope that it doesn't because you look at the results of the 2020 election and Joe Biden got 81 million votes or something like that, more than anyone ever.
01:40:07.000The reason was because they were mailing votes out and then collecting them.
01:40:26.000But I still think that the average person will swear.1.00
01:40:30.000Up and down, that all the people that they run into every single day are stupid idiots.1.00
01:40:34.000They'll get on the highway and they'll talk about how dumb everybody is, blah, blah, blah.1.00
01:40:37.000And then, with that very same mouth that they swear everybody's dumb, they'll say, Yes, everyone should have the right to vote.0.95
01:40:43.000Well, depending on what you mean by disenfranchisement, so long as everybody who's eligible to vote has the opportunity to vote, the problem is how many people are eligible to vote, people.0.92
01:41:01.000In federal elections, there needs to be some kind, or there should be some kind of limit or some kind of prerequisite to be able to vote in federal elections.
01:41:16.000Those are the things that really affect your life, anyways.
01:41:19.000So, the average person that goes and votes in their local elections, they're having far more impact on their day to day life than if they're voting for who the president is.
01:41:27.000They get worked up about the president, but the president has actually a limited amount of impact on your day to day life.
01:41:45.000I want to show you guys this before we go to the Rumble rants and Super Chats because while you were talking, I intentionally set up Claude so I could share with you these sort of institutional manipulations and lies.
01:41:56.000This also plays into why I think AI is going to destroy humanity.
01:42:01.000But it's largely about the presumptions and perceptions of the average person.
01:42:05.000The first thing I'll say is for those that are not familiar with the recitation problem in AI that I rant about quite a bit, it's that AI doesn't actually answer your questions.
01:42:15.000So I started with this In California, you can fill out a mail in ballot four days after the election, hand date it, doodle a picture of Mickey Mouse, and drop it off at a polling station, and they will count the ballot.
01:42:33.000And at the end of this conversation, Claude concludes, Actually, you were right about everything the whole time.
01:42:38.000But see, the issue is Claude is not addressing what I said.0.99
01:42:41.000This is the first manipulation tactic that we're going to start seeing that's going to trick a lot of stupid people into, well, you know, being sheep herded up by a sheepdog.0.98
01:42:50.000It says California accepts mail in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day and received within seven days after.0.99
01:42:55.000But a ballot you fill out after the election would be voting after the legal deadline.
01:42:59.000You're supposed to mark it by Election Day.
01:43:01.000The postmark return rules are about transit time, not a window to keep voting.
01:43:04.000My original statement does not say you would date it after the fact.
01:43:49.000You can, when they ask for your signature, you can draw Mickey Mouse and it'll appear on your ID or wherever they put your signature.
01:43:54.000When you vote, you can draw Mickey Mouse.
01:43:55.000Now, the reason that's significant is that anyone can draw Mickey Mouse.
01:44:00.000So if they're doing signature verification and it's a picture of Mickey Mouse and 17 million people can draw that picture, how are you verifying a signature at all?
01:45:26.000Obviously, the point is it would be illegal.
01:45:29.000But here's, let me show you where the hammer drops.
01:45:31.000I said they won't reject hand dated ballots after election day if they assume or don't care that it wasn't received on time.
01:45:40.000The point is this if a homeless guy fills out a ballot, backdates it by hand, hand drops it off, first, the individual counting the vote isn't going to outright reject it if they just don't care.
01:46:38.000The best part is that two officials have to determine fraud beyond a reasonable doubt to disqualify it.
01:46:43.000That means if a hand dated ballot is received four days after the election with a doodle of Mickey Mouse on it, a single individual in California does not have the authority to reject it.
01:46:54.000A second official has to confirm that it came at the wrong time.
01:46:59.000So here's the best part Homeless guy hands me a ballot.
01:47:03.000It's hand dated for election day, it's four days later, and there's a picture of Mickey Mouse on it.
01:47:08.000And I go, This was given to me after the deadline.
01:47:11.000I can't accept it, but I can't disqualify it because I need a secondary official.
01:47:16.000So then I go to Viva and I say, Hey, check out this ballot that I got.
01:47:51.000The entire California voter system is fraud, it is fake, it is a lie.
01:47:56.000And in the end, here's the final question To Claude, do you think that a reasonable person would consider this type of voting as legitimate?
01:48:03.000No, I don't think a reasonable person would call it legitimate.
01:48:06.000And I think you probably don't either, or you wouldn't have framed it the way you did.
01:49:16.000Backyard Butchers offers premium American beef from real Texas ranchers born, raised, and processed right here in America.
01:49:22.00098% grass fed, 2% grain finished, no hormones, no antibiotics, no preservatives.
01:49:28.000Go to Backyard Butchers, use promo code TIM for up to 30% off, two free 10 ounce ribeyes, and free shipping.
01:49:35.000Plus, they are doing a special America 250 box celebrating 250 years of America.
01:49:41.000When you purchase a steakhouse box complete with burgers and dogs, built for my absolute favorite holiday, that is America Day, that is the 4th of July.
01:50:18.000Of all the sponsors that we get, I love the ones where it's like a steak, you know, because the people that we don't like, they don't want us eating steak.
01:50:25.000If Bill Gates had his way, you'd never have a steak again.
01:53:16.000Everybody should wear safety glasses.1.00
01:53:18.000Anytime you're shooting off fireworks, it's my little well.
01:53:22.000I would just say all the different jurisdictions have different legalities and just follow the local laws.
01:53:27.000And you know, and also, the most important thing is if you're in a rural area, like we were out here for the draw like two years ago and it was dry, yeah.
01:53:36.000And I can't remember what we launched, but the grass started on fire, yep.
01:53:40.000And we were like, nope, and I'm like, we're done.
01:53:42.000It was way too dry for this, so we saw like the and I just stomped out, it wasn't a big deal, but like, so in a big field because we got like 50 acres.
01:53:52.000Bro, you might launch a bottle rocket and some spark comes down and it's 100 feet away.
01:55:27.000Man, we got a bunch of comedians here today, huh?
01:55:30.000Sir Rose a lot says, following Tim Cass tradition, my wife and I are in the delivery ward welcoming our first child, Weston, praying he becomes a strong and honorable man.
01:55:43.000If someone's up to the task, take all the clips of all the baby announcements we've made and make like a 45 minute compilation because it's a lot.
01:55:50.000That's at least every episode, at least.
01:57:38.000I actually thought you were going to say she got accepted to go to Europe, and I'm contemplating not letting her go because I don't want her to die.
01:57:45.000I'm not trying to be dark or anything, but.
01:57:48.000We were in Paris 2015 for a marathon on Chamonix.
01:57:52.000It was part of the Sky series, and I ran a marathon.
01:57:56.000And I told my wife and kids at the time, the ones who were born, this is probably the second time you get to see Paris, the first and the last, because I lived there in 1999 to 2000.
01:58:05.000It was bad back then, it was exponentially worse in 2015.
01:58:10.000And I say, like, a palpable tension in the air that you could feel just walking the streets.
01:58:36.000If I was xenophobic, why would I be in Europe at all?
01:58:40.000Well, I could answer that question in a way that would be satisfactory, but no, the bottom line is it's not xenophobic to notice a.
01:58:48.000An inorganic demographic shift in a country.1.00
01:58:52.000To not notice it would make you an idiot.0.96
01:58:54.000And to not notice it would make you arguably intolerant towards another demographic, the native population, which need not be ethnically homogeneous in and of itself.0.99
01:59:04.000Technic says turn the reflecting pool into a piranha sanctuary.
02:00:05.000I always thought the pond has to be a sufficient depth so that it freezes maybe two, three feet, and then there's a little bit of water underneath.
02:00:14.000My world perspective on ponds and fish is going to change.
02:00:18.000I think you're largely correct, but the thing is it says the surface layer turns to ice, keeping the liquid water around 39 degrees Fahrenheit.
02:01:00.000No, I mean, I wonder if they just fall into like a liquid port.
02:01:03.000Because you could have like current that keeps certain pockets warm enough that it doesn't freeze and then maybe they just go, you know, they don't eat and they become lethargic.
02:03:05.000And a little angrier Viva on X at the Viva Fry on X. If you guys want to follow me, I'm on Instagram and X at Brett Dasovic on both of those platforms.
02:03:14.000You should check out Pop Culture Crisis.
02:03:16.000We are live Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
02:03:20.000Also, make sure you sign up for the Timcast Discord because I'm doing.
02:03:24.000Shows twice a month an additional hour of PCC content there, taking caller, you know, calls from you guys as well as covering what's in the news.
02:03:32.000It's a lot of fun, so I will see you guys there.
02:08:01.000Anybody who's not from Montreal, this is in a place called Côte de Neige.
02:08:04.000You got West Mount, NDG, and then a little more north of it, you got Côte de Neige.0.97
02:08:08.000And it's known for being, A, not the best area on earth, but multicultural.
02:08:13.000It's got a lot of, they say it's, you know, there's a lot of Jewish people who live there where people are thinking this might have been a targeted incident from the get go.
02:10:13.000She has no idea how to deal with a guy with a long gun who's pinning her down, nor did the other cop.
02:10:17.000I'm not going to pretend that, you know, I'd be like, I'm not going to, I would never be a cop in a situation pulling off better than these guys.
02:10:25.000What I could say is I probably would not be dead.
02:10:28.000And I have the grounds to say that in that I've done hostile environment training, have been shot at several times, and they reacted very, very poorly.
02:10:35.000Guys, I'm sorry to be critical of the dead and the critically injured, but this matters for our police.
02:10:41.000It matters for Canadian police to know how to deal with these things, especially considering.
02:10:46.000This is not the first or last time we'll see anything like this.
02:11:18.000But holy shit, even that guy, like, guys, I'm sorry.0.99
02:11:22.000In the real world, the natural ebb and flow of civilization is that the strong protect the weak until the weak become numerous and then get killed by the strong.0.99
02:11:31.000Because the weak outnumber the strong and implement systems by which they will die.
02:13:38.000Frequently, when they make a magazine ban, it's because it'll be a detachable magazine.
02:13:43.000So, an SKS has an internal, so it's 10 rounds into the gun.
02:13:48.000The only, and I'm just looking, the only places that are reporting a name are not, not to say, they're not mainstream outlets and they're not even credible alternative outlets, so I'll hold off on a name.
02:13:57.000But no, it's, you just know, one way or the other, this is going to be weaponized by a government who is already hellbent on restricting firearms.
02:14:10.000And is now, if it turns out to be someone who's right wing, is going to milk this as an example of what happens when people have unfettered access to the internet.
02:14:19.000They're going to use it to promote more censorship up in Canada and they're going to use it to lock down you and your rights for your own safety.
02:17:07.000Except the bad guys are corrupt judges letting out rapists, and then he goes and kills the immigrant Muslim families who celebrate rape and all that shit.1.00
02:17:17.000It's Uwe Boll, who's a notorious B movie director, so.1.00
02:20:04.000A great movie for the first hour and then it turns into literally white demon.0.60
02:20:10.000Hillbillies dancing to zombies dancing to Irish folk music.
02:20:15.000Well, um, that's that's that's like that's like revenge porn for people who have, uh, this just makes me like I said, this just makes me think of the Punisher.
02:20:26.000Are you familiar with the character of the Punisher?
02:20:28.000I am, but tell those who don't, he's a Marvel character who basically goes and he's he's kind of the anti hero, like all of your superhero characters, they're always like, you know, Batman doesn't kill, blah blah blah.
02:21:00.000Ghost Rider, his ability is called the Penance Stair, where he gazes into your eyes and you burn for all of the guilt you feel for the crimes you've committed.
02:21:08.000And when Ghost Rider grabbed the Punisher, he didn't burn because the Punisher genuinely accepts and is proud of what he has done in just massacring all these people.
02:22:24.000You need something new to bring the character back.
02:22:27.000So, it needed to be something like I don't know if you could just have it be a neighbor kid gets killed or something like this, and then he snaps.
02:22:37.000But something needed to happen to make him realize the Punisher is needed.0.93
02:22:42.000Not just she's like, we're going to kill you, and then he just kills everybody.0.79
02:22:44.000Everyone, real ones know that Ray Stevenson is the real Punisher.0.98
02:22:49.000It could have even been something simple like he does Punisher stuff, and then the crying is just a little too much because we've already been there.
02:23:00.000So, if he was like, I'm out of the game, you know, he's got the beard, he doesn't want to fight.
02:23:04.000He beats, he saves some girl from some rapists or whatever.
02:23:08.000And then the ending is, it could have been him talking to the woman.
02:23:13.000Here's what they should have done for one last, what was it called?
02:23:40.000At that point, because he's already in the game.
02:23:41.000The point I'm making is that to bring the character back from detachment, she says something like, You have an emotional reaction where he saves her.
02:23:48.000And then she says, I wish there were more men like you so that women like me would feel safe finally.
02:24:24.000So, California, it's always in the news, and they seem to have been pushing it even further with a new measure that was passed in the state senate and waiting for Gavin Newsom to sign.
02:26:18.000But I think that if the wealth tax passes, that'll be the one where they're just like, all right, I'm out.
02:26:24.000Because people that have, you know, they're going to say it's billionaires at first, and it's then billionaires are going to leave and they're going to move it to the millionaires.
02:26:33.000And anyone that owns a home in Southern California is a millionaire because houses are something like a million dollars.
02:26:40.000You own a burnt down lot in the Palisades, you're still a millionaire.
02:26:51.000You already have people they want to leave, if not only because of the policies and the taxes, but because of, you know, you can't even walk the streets at night.
02:26:57.000It's nice to live in a beautiful place.
02:27:01.000Part of the reason why people aren't leaving is because of housing prices, right?
02:27:05.000Like if you can't, if you got a house in California and you locked in at 3%, right?
02:27:10.000And you're paying that 3% mortgage, and now you're going to go out and get a, you've got, you know, really good credit, you're going to get a 6%.
02:27:29.000Nobody's moving from, you know, not many people are moving from Florida to California.
02:27:33.000And then the only question is I don't know what the laws are on foreign acquisition of residential property in California, but you'll end up with the same situation that you have in Vancouver, which is it's going to be a lot of foreign owned residentials, which is going to jack up the prices for everybody else.
02:27:47.000And if you can't get rid of your house, you can't come up with a down payment.
02:27:51.000For even if you have a ton of equity, right?
02:27:53.000You bought it 15 years ago, you had a 30 year mortgage, you're doing all right, you've got some equity in it.
02:27:58.000Where are you gonna come up with the 300 grand or 200 grand or whatever to put a decent size down payment on, you know, the $750,000 house that you're looking to buy, you know?
02:28:10.000Not to bring it all back to Canada, but at some point they're gonna try to pass something of an exit tax and make it retroactive in California.
02:28:18.000Yeah, I think they're trying again to make it retroactive.
02:28:22.000There's gonna be, well, I don't know if that, I don't know, there will be a Fight at the Supreme Court about that because the Constitution guarantees that you can move from state to state.
02:29:46.000If they said, we'll take every single person in California, residents, so they'll all become citizens, we'll just take them all by boat and leave the land empty.1.00
02:29:58.000All the conservative farmers are like, fuck off, no way.1.00
02:30:59.000It seemed like they had a good idea in Escape from LA of turning LA into a prison camp after the earthquake.
02:31:08.000I mean, yeah, but I mean, nobody's going to California.
02:31:13.000And I think that California, like, LA has to turn into Detroit.
02:31:18.000Like, that's kind of what's happening now.
02:31:21.000There's going to be an exodus of people that are actually functional to society.
02:31:25.000I think that the tax that they're talking about passing, that'll have to pass.
02:31:29.000And then once the state falls apart and they're like, we need federal money to bail us out, then the federal government can step in and say, okay, we're taking control.
02:31:49.000Do the things that California has been doing.
02:31:51.000I know how we can help with this too, because one of the big things that was going on during the mayoral campaigns, as well as the governor's, was everybody fighting about how they can get Hollywood working again.
02:32:03.000And they keep throwing around this idea of a federal subsidy for movies made in California, which is just the worst thing I've ever heard.
02:32:09.000But if we wanted to make nothing but just like super pro America, like bordering on propaganda movies again, I'm down.
02:32:17.000We will give them federal subsidies if they make every movie like Rocky and Independence Day.
02:34:00.000So, I'm going to go kind of try to mimic Steven Crowder a little bit and give a spicy take with some of the discussion last week about IDs and the UK law being passed.
02:34:13.000So, my take is digital ID is a long overdue inevitability and an objective good for society.
02:36:06.000I like what Elon did, kind of hybridizing it, banning the bots.
02:36:08.000But digital ID means you can't log into X without your ID.
02:36:12.000Your account is attached to your real name, and you would never speak out against anything out of fear of social reprisal.1.00
02:36:19.000It was only that we have a small percentage of people in this country who are fuck you Americans that we pulled out of all that bullshit.0.99
02:36:28.000But look at the Netflix CEO, I'm sorry, not the CEO, the executive, who got fired for telling people what racial slurs were.0.99
02:36:36.000I was complaining about it nonstop in the BLM riot, Antifa woke era, that tons of people were refusing to speak up.
02:36:43.000And because of this, the woke was running rampant.
02:36:45.000And people responded to me with easy for you to say, Tim, you work for yourself.0.82
02:36:50.000I guarantee you, if people had to attach their name to everything they said, you would have seen nothing but Hillary is right, Black Lives Matter.
02:36:59.000There would have been no Trump supporters available or visible on the internet.0.81
02:37:02.000Trump would have lost, Hillary would have won, this show would not exist.
02:37:08.000My argument as to why this is a bad argument is that the mistake is in thinking that the digital ID, whatever it comes with, is going to be applied equally and in a non partisan, politically atheistic manner, which it just won't.
02:37:21.000I mean, the disfavored will get punished and the favored will get pardoned or forgiven.
02:37:27.000I mean, it doesn't work in theory in the sense that, yes, justice is blind, but in reality, justice is human.
02:37:57.000It would force social media companies to pick what they are if they're going to force people to either.
02:38:04.000So, the way I view it is we're creating kind of a second or a kind of protected system, a protected marketplace.
02:38:13.000So, if I go in my town square and I want to get a pack of alcohol or buy marijuana or like go to a strip club or whatever, I have to show an ID.
02:38:24.000Now, whether that's being tracked, probably it's happening, but legally, those businesses still have to abide by the law.
02:38:34.000I can access hardcore pornography from my phone.
02:38:37.000I can link like so many kind of illicit activities if I were a minor.
02:38:43.000I can view things that minors should not be viewing or talk to people that I should not be talking to legally in a physical realm.
02:38:53.000So if I tell Facebook, hey, you have to, if.
02:38:57.000If you are just a public forum, then you need to police it as such.
02:39:04.000Otherwise, you need to remove people that should not be there.
02:39:08.000I think that would help alleviate some of the fear around it.
02:39:14.000I'm curious, kind of, your take on that side of it.
02:39:18.000One argument you don't need digital ID for that.
02:39:20.000If you want to reform Section 230, then you work at Section 230, not eliminating anonymity, basically, is what I imagine is what you mean by digital ID.
02:40:05.000If I go to a protest masked and anonymous, I can commit a crime and get away with it relatively easier if I was forced to unmask.
02:40:14.000Similar principle, if I'm doing something illegal, I kind of forfeit that right to anonymity.
02:40:22.000If I'm just speaking against my government using my First Amendment, or if I'm looking at guns online in conjunction with my Second Amendment rights, or if I'm XYZ, whatever you want to say, as long as it's following the law.
02:40:37.000I don't see how that's until I kind of enter those domains where I need to provide proof of who I am.
02:40:47.000I mean, we talk about with voting all the time, we want people to present a physical ID to prove who they are.
02:40:54.000I don't really see how this is much different when the game has changed so significantly with technology and just the way that commerce is done.
02:41:08.000We've had kind of two systems in place that.
02:41:11.000In the physical world, I can get away with stuff.
02:41:13.000In the digital world, I'm not treated to the same standard.
02:41:19.000The issue is that, again, the internet provided for an anti establishment to push back and forcing everybody to log into all these platforms via government issued IDs that are regulated online.
02:41:33.000You are going to have dissent quashed.
02:41:39.000I mean, this is literally the movie they're making, The Social Reckoning, is going to be about the censorship controls that Facebook was putting into place.
02:41:46.000Prior to the 2016, I ain't gonna see that movie.
02:41:49.000But I will say, is like it speaks to the culture of their.
02:42:03.000And perhaps it's a cop out, but I think maybe my take on digital ID, maybe I'm mischaracterizing and not kind of applying it to the same standard.
02:42:14.000I think if we have anonymity for certain things that we would normally have anonymity for.
02:43:17.000So in public, if a guy walks up to a child and the child is talking about Marvel and he starts describing graphic sexual things, the cops should arrest him.
02:43:29.000So, the issue is this a kid walking down the street may encounter an image of porn and a guy holding up a sign, but it's only a few people.
02:43:41.000However, on X, a post can go viral and be visible to 100 million people, of which 20 million kids all instantly see it.
02:43:49.000You couldn't control for it, and it wasn't illegal to post.
02:43:53.000The person who posted it didn't make it available for kids, the platform did.
02:43:56.000Whereas in public, you can argue it's public obscenity.
02:43:59.000I suppose the argument then is you want Congress to draft new laws that actions spoken on social media fall under public obscenity laws, but then you've got to have local jurisdictions largely enforce this and they have to make all new laws across the board.
02:44:11.000So, again, I don't think anything practical like that would happen and you'd still have the issue of either banning kids on the platform.
02:44:18.000And if you do ban kids, how do you prove kids aren't on the platform?
02:44:22.000If you then say, okay, we're not banning kids on the platform, we're going to treat platforms like public spaces, then you can't account for someone putting up a billboard of two dudes fucking and it goes viral and he says, hey, That's legal free speech online.
02:44:35.000And if you want to enforce against it, every state and jurisdiction has to pass new laws adapting the internet for public or a court precedent applying it in that direction, which is very, very difficult.
02:44:46.000So, in the end, I don't know why we would have government issued ID in the first place.
02:44:50.000Either the system is as it is, or maybe in 15, 20 years, we slowly start rolling out laws to ban these things, or we say you can't log into the platform without proving your age to prevent children from getting access to the platform and obscene materials.
02:45:06.000I mean, don't you think that kind of my earlier point about how it's a long overdue inevitability?
02:45:13.000I think the technology has adapted or, sorry, advanced a lot faster than we've been able to adapt to it for things that we've social norms and rules that we've established in physical society have not translated to our digital societies.
02:45:35.000The other issue, of course, is foreign websites.0.82
02:45:37.000So you'd have to then create a great firewall of the United States of America to bar any foreign countries from running sites that can be accessible to people in the United States.0.81
02:45:47.000Because even then, if you say, listen, children can use these things, if a five year old can walk to the corner store or go outside and play, a five year old can be on social media.0.71
02:47:24.000What is the mechanism by which the United States can stop the 7 billion people around the world from posting porn visible by children in the United States?
02:47:34.000I mean, it's a question for right now.
02:47:36.000And that's why I think don't let your kids use the internet.
02:47:39.000But in terms of trying to regulate the internet like an American public street is not possible.0.98
02:47:46.000Again, there's no mechanism by which you can be like, unless you ban all foreign IPs, you can't stop a Nigerian from posting porn and a kid can find it.0.85
02:47:57.000When the Pirate Bay was pirating movies and the MPAA, I think it was, sent a cease and desist, they responded with, What we're doing is legal in Sweden, which you may not know is not a part of the United States, so go fuck yourselves.0.99
02:48:17.000I feel like you'd have a really hard time getting the average American on board with this.
02:48:20.000Even the ones who are lackadaisical and do allow their kids endless access to the internet are going to say that it's the parents' responsibility to watch their kids and make sure they're not accessing stuff that they shouldn't, especially given the gravity of the consequences of something like this going into effect.
02:48:40.000But anyway, you said change your mind.
02:49:19.000But that's different from general requirements across the board for a government issued digital ID.
02:49:25.000Could the idea be that maybe these social media platforms, maybe what you're saying is they should be required to require some type of, I guess, legal.
02:49:50.000And then I said, actually, I take that back.
02:49:52.000What's actually going to happen is in 20 years, she's going to levitate through the front door with glowing blue eyes and she's going to go, Mother, join the hive.
02:50:14.000And then I was also joking that we're going to be driving, and my wife is going to be driving the car, and my daughter's going to be like, Oh, mom, let the car drive itself.1.00
02:50:24.000Why do you always insist on driving it?
02:50:58.000So please, the love of God, when I'm speaking figuratively and say they banished a load of people, eliminated 80% of their content, I know the website still exists.
02:53:57.000That we've actually had enough self deportations, that the kitchen is actually being staffed by white and black people instead of Hispanics?0.64
02:54:31.000I don't know what the operation was called, but what they did was let in a bunch of fucking fentanyl intentionally between 2023 and 2025.0.99
02:54:40.000There's a whistleblower on this right now.0.96
02:54:42.000And they let in tens of thousands of fentanyl pills across the border after they were manufactured in Mexico.
02:54:49.000You can find it in the side chat of this thing.
02:54:51.000I don't expect you to pull it up, but it is a pretty big story.
02:54:55.000Whistleblowers blowing this right now.
02:54:56.000And it's, I mean, what we had 150,000 deaths.1.00
02:55:01.000Uh, between those type of time periods over the years, uh, from fentanyl deaths, so, um, fuck, um, fuck us, I guess.1.00
02:55:13.000Uh, yeah, now I'm getting to my question though, and everything.0.91
02:55:16.000Uh, but before I do, I did do the math on something recently.
02:55:19.000Obama appointed Fauci, if I understand it correctly, and then with COVID, uh, they're responsible for more deaths than the Nazis killed Jews because it's 7.1 million.
02:55:31.000But anyhow, uh, Why do you guys think, and that's kind of an important premise to get in here, Viva?0.94
02:55:39.000Why the fuck are we still letting qualified immunity get by with so much?0.99
02:55:43.000Because at this point, officers just basically sat there, the DEA sat there and let all this shit into the United States.0.99
02:55:51.000We've got the situation with the Lego shit going on with the Utah police, where they're going to get off on like three or four things that they actually did illegal in that whole story.0.98
02:56:04.000Of situations and story, big and small, across the entire fucking country, where the police can basically sit there and go, Qualified immunity, bitch, what you gonna do?1.00
02:56:14.000Why are we not correcting this shit?0.99
02:56:17.000There's been efforts, but if I understand correctly, it's gone to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court has said yes.0.99
02:57:05.000We're definitely gone too far towards the immunity side of it where people can, you know.
02:57:10.000Yeah, I mean, I think, like I said, the biggest problem, though, is the Supreme Court has already heard cases about this, if I understand correctly.
02:57:20.000If they've ruled, it's kind of a moot point, you know.
02:57:24.000From what I understand, in situations like the Lego case, they're actually not giving a directive to all of the police on what it is that they should do.
02:57:32.000And because they haven't given a ruling to this, I believe it was Leonard French, Lawful Masses with Leonard French, who went over this.
02:57:41.000And because they weren't given a directive on the specific civil violations that they went and did with Reckless Ben, they don't have any directive, so they have no reason not to do it.
02:57:52.000So they're getting away with the qualified immunity excuse in it.
02:57:55.000And there's only one particular thing that they may actually get busted on.
02:57:59.000But the rest of it's just qualified immunity.
02:58:02.000And it's because they haven't actually been given a directive.
02:58:05.000They've already proven in court and everything these kind of things.
02:59:39.000There's still room for an investigation without evidence to the investigation.0.99
02:59:44.000My question, though, gets into with this fentanyl shit, though.0.99
02:59:48.000They're going to sit there and say, well, we're not responsible for any of this shit that we could have stopped because we were under doing an investigation.0.99
02:59:55.000Meanwhile, fucking hundreds of people probably, or 100,000 people probably, died from the tens of thousands of pills that this guy saw going across the border.0.99
03:00:03.000Because, you know, they bring it in, they cut it, they lace it with other shit kind of thing.0.99
03:00:17.000Well, I mean, like Viva was saying, qualified immunity is a defense.1.00
03:00:22.000So you have to actually get someone to sue or you have to get a DA that'll press charges.
03:00:31.000And then they have to bring up qualified immunity and then you can appeal and say, you know, well, this doesn't cover, qualified immunity doesn't cover this.
03:00:42.000There's still plenty of legal means, uh, or or you know, legal means at people's disposal to fight these things as to what will give us immediate uh gratification.
03:00:55.000Well, you're dealing with the law, there's nothing that'll give you immediate gratification, that's just not how the law works.
03:01:01.000My second, I guess, follow up on this is I mean, Tim, why do you think people aren't covering this?0.99
03:01:05.000Because I mean, I know a lot of the political pundits have kind of gone in this off season mindset, they're covering shit like Supergirl or psychics or fucking aliens.0.96
03:01:14.000Now they've covered that shit more than Epstein, and it's just weird that the shit like this hasn't really made the news.0.99
03:02:03.000They think, well, they think it's either it's fake or they hear so many stories throughout the day or they hear 10,000 iterations of the same story throughout the day that everybody kind of expects that moment in the movie where something drastic happens and everybody reacts.
03:02:15.000And that's not how the real world is anymore.
03:02:17.000No, that's not how the real world has ever been.
03:02:21.000Like the guy who does the Twitter account, it's 25 years ago as if it's happening today.
03:02:27.000He tweets every day about stuff going on, except for it was that day 25 years ago.
03:02:32.000And that's kind of what it feels like in a lot of ways.
03:02:34.000Like you look back at the news back then, it feels like stuff was more spread out because you weren't online a lot, but stuff was happening every day, just like stuff is happening every day now.
03:02:41.000And you're just overloaded with stimuli.
03:02:43.000And so a story about a terror attack, well, they almost shot and killed Trump multiple times.
03:02:59.000Like, there's nothing that really, like, I knew some's going to jail, I guess.
03:03:03.000I either think some is lying, I think they're being hyperbolic, or they're being over the top, and I just tune out for that.
03:03:08.000I think that this actually kind of talks or speaks to the just overall cynicism that everyone has that I think the constant connection to the internet gives people, the constant flow of information.
03:03:23.000Well, I think it used to be you wouldn't get information unless there was a big deal happening or there was some kind of resolution happening.
03:03:29.000Now, there's a constant flow of information and there's not always a resolution.
03:04:06.000I got to dilute things with carbonated water because you don't even marinate that.0.99
03:04:10.000But my point is like, all of the news and all of the shock for 10 years, our brains are probably like the equivalent of Requiem for a Dream drug addled husks.
