Join hosts Ben Q and Mark Phillips as they discuss the latest in the world of politics and pop culture, including a new song dropping today, the latest lawsuit against the National Rifle Association, and more. Plus, a new music video for the song "Eyes of advice" drops today!
00:00:28.000military has dispatched jets to investigate.
00:00:31.000Apparently they're saying it's not a big threat, but of course everyone's kind of worried because we just had a major cyber attack against our healthcare infrastructure the other day, and what many people think may have been a cyber attack on our cell infrastructure, though there are some rumors that it was just a failed software update.
00:00:45.000So we'll get into that stuff, but we also have Fanny Willis.
00:00:50.000Jim Jordan says there's a whistleblower who's come forward.
00:00:52.000So that could get really, really interesting.
00:00:53.000And then Letitia James out of New York has just won a ruling against the NRA.
00:00:58.000Against LaPierre, specifically, and he's got to pay back money or something.
00:01:01.000But it really is obvious that the judicial apparatus of New York is a political weapon right now.
00:01:41.000And it's him reaching out his hand to take the hand of a demon!
00:01:44.000And if you want to watch the music video, link is in the description below.

00:02:03.000I'm not gonna, you know, sometimes we have songs like Together Again where we're just like, we really want to chart because we're trying to give a middle finger or something like that.
00:02:42.000And we're going to be promoting it all next week because it is the latest song drop.
00:02:45.000We've got a couple more we're working on.
00:02:46.000So, eyesofadvice.com, but also go to caskbrew.com, buy some coffee, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:51.000Your coffee purchase helps us in building the physical location in Martinsburg, West Virginia, where, of course, we're going to be having...
00:03:00.000Our first will be March 5th, and we're really excited for this event, so sold out already.
00:03:06.000But as a member at TimCast.com, you can purchase tickets because they are private events for members only, not open to the public, only for members.
00:04:04.000Although there was a protest despite the 80-90% support he has in El Salvador.
00:04:10.000If you go to my Twitter you'll see that there were some people protesting outside the Gaylord, the hotel where it's held, saying he was a dictator.
00:04:48.000Apparently, the way that Kent made the demon in that video, like, okay, watch Eyes of Advice.
00:04:54.000At a certain point, you, you, like, okay, so, like, slight spoiler alert, but, uh, in the beginning, you see eyes within a door, and a hand reaches out, and then later, the demon comes out, but I won't, I don't, I won't want to say how he did it just yet, because if he actually releases the B-roll, it's amazing, but...
00:05:59.000I'm a little surprised that the Feds have not done anything, that the military hasn't scrambled it to actually take it down.
00:06:09.000You might make the argument that, oh, it's probably a financial loser to knock it out of the sky, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a It is an election year, and Joe Biden is uniquely unpopular.
00:06:24.000He's got some of the lowest approval ratings in recent history, definitely.
00:06:30.000And to just allow it to go over the U.S.
00:06:35.000So, Tubberville is selling stock, Bezos is selling stock, Zuckerberg is selling stock, and with this question from Quiver Quant, is the Quiver Quantitative on Twitter, they had this video where they're like, why are these people dumping these stocks?
00:06:49.000You know, some of these people in Congress, they know what's about to happen because they're passing these bills.
00:06:54.000And I'm kind of like, yeah, you know, maybe their strategy is that Trump just wins and they're going to destroy the market.
00:07:02.000To bring it to this, the reason they don't care about the balloons, they don't care about Biden's polling, is that they've resigned him to defeat them.
00:07:08.000Well, I know why Jeff Bezos sold his stock, because he's moved to Florida and he doesn't want the capital gains tax, I think, of Washington.
00:07:50.000Well, I mean, I don't know a lot about Jeff Bezos, but typical of a Democrat to move to Florida, reap all the benefits.
00:07:57.000I do feel like there is a certain amount of truth to the idea that once you become a billionaire, the normal Republican and Democrat kind of ideologies become less important and you're more concerned about conserving your wealth regardless of who's actually in charge.
00:08:56.000I imagine... I'm sorry to say, but... I imagine if you're taking out that kind of money, there's some kind of business that you're trying... Like, maybe he's got to give money to... What is it?
00:09:27.000I'm kind of surprised he wants to sell the Washington Post, because... He does?
00:09:31.000Yeah, well, that was the story at one point.
00:09:33.000But they are losing, well, in fairness to him, they're losing 100 million a year.
00:09:37.000And I respect the fact that he is basically saying, I'm not gonna subsidize this.
00:09:42.000However, if I were in his position, being a kind of Machiavellian tyrant, I would want to own the Washington Post so I could, you know... I think that's why he bought it in the first place, right?
00:09:55.000So he could own it and control the narrative.
00:09:58.000Because he was being attacked by the people he was trying to control.
00:11:36.000It is exclusively keeping political opponents of the existing power structure at bay.
00:11:43.000Right, it was about questioning the narrative that the government put forward and now it's more likely that they're just amplifying the talking points of the White House.
00:11:57.000If you look at the people that go on Morning Joe, if you really want to know who is making the decisions and stuff, not that you should agree with these people, but if you want to see who's making decisions at State Department, at the Council on Foreign Relations, at You know, at the at Davos, etc.
00:12:14.000If you want to see those people and hear them talk without going to their TED Talks or watching their Davos stuff, just watch Morning Joe.
00:12:21.000They have people that are CIA, former CIA.
00:12:24.000They have the intelligence apparatus on all the time.
00:12:26.000They have the FBI, the security apparatus on all the time.
00:12:28.000Those are the people that go in and talk.
00:12:31.000You'll hear all the talking points and you'll get a really good idea of what the bureaucracy is thinking just by watching Morning Joe and listening to what they say, because for the most part, they generally tell you.
00:12:41.000You know, I think if you're starting a company, you should have a test where you ask them what two plus two equals.
00:12:50.000And if they put five, you do not hire them.
00:13:35.000I believe that, I believe, so I think legitimately and genuinely that there are, like, histrionic, there are a general plethora, a variety of mental illnesses, neurodivergent as it were, who are loud and online and have, with You know, with disturbed-like fervor pushed their way into positions of... It's not even right to say positions, like, they scream really loud.
00:14:03.000And normally when the guy was on the side of the road yelling, the end was nigh, you drove past him.
00:14:07.000The left definitely attracts, like, those personality traits, more neurotic, more, you know, because that's the message that they're sending.
00:14:18.000We need to worry about the climate change and we need to worry about You know the the fascists and the earth is gonna burn and etc etc They tend to attract the neurotic and they can enforce compliance through fear.
00:14:32.000Yeah, exactly What was interesting to me about the military or this balloon story?
00:14:38.000Is that the press immediately ran it as it is a military balloon?
00:14:42.000We're gonna we're gonna engage with it and that was the government's position whereas the last time this happened they were like We don't know what it is.
00:15:10.000I mean, if you are the American people, either they have learned from the fact that the Americans were frustrated or You know, they want the narrative to be like we are more engaged and active in an active government, whereas last year they were trying to pretend like they weren't being threatened by China as blatantly as they were.
00:15:27.000How any person, you know, no, hold on, let me pause.
00:15:30.000This is why I say they're mentally ill, okay?
00:15:32.000And I'm not trying to be mean to them, I'm trying to point out a very serious affliction this country is dealing with.
00:15:38.000Anybody who says they support Joe Biden at this point is part of a group of people who are suffering some kind of cognitive deficiency.
00:15:46.000Well, I put it more down to ignorance, a lot of it.
00:16:52.000There are people that as long as they themselves are not suffering, they will reject the idea
00:16:59.000that the people they prefer are failing or that there are people that are suffering.
00:17:05.000And it gets more acute the more financially successful the people are.
00:17:11.000Obviously, if you're making $250,000 a year and you're not struggling, you know, and you can pay for all the things that you could pay for last year, you might notice that things are more expensive, but it doesn't hurt the same way that it does to someone that's making $80,000 or $70,000 a year.
00:17:52.000You can, okay, AdWords, their advertising market, AdSense, their advertising payout market, YouTube, Gmail, you break those apart, Google still owns search.
00:18:03.000However, I want to get into what is happening, and not just about breaking Google up, but I will agree with J.D.
00:18:08.000Vance, Google is a very serious problem.
00:18:10.000So this is a tweet we covered yesterday.
00:18:13.000AllSides.com checked the media bias of Google and found 63% of stories over two weeks were from left-wing sources.
00:19:09.000Right now, anybody to the right of them, to the right of... Essentially, we're getting to the point where it's not hyperbolic to say communists.
00:19:19.000Like there are socialists in New York City's legislature, in New York State's legislature,
00:19:48.000Everything is trending in a bad direction, and they are going to continue to elect socialists.
00:19:54.000This is what happens when you try to institute socialist extreme left-leaning policies.
00:20:00.000But this is what the news aggregators... Look, however, for whatever reason, They are rigging the 2024 election by shifting the conversation as far left as possible.
00:20:13.000And so Google Gemini being the big story, an example is we talked about it the other night on the show, asked it about Ahmed Arbery.
00:20:55.000The left continues to be informed by a narrative about almost every important story that you hear, and the narrative is just factually wrong.
00:21:10.000You know, whether it be Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, or Kyle Rittenhouse, or the whole Hands Up, Don't Shoot, or whatever policy the right is proposing.
00:21:24.000They always have, like, don't say gay.
00:21:26.000You're not allowed to say the word gay in the state of Florida.
00:22:09.000I mean, there are some great you guys have probably seen two video clips of news anchors from different TV stations also using the exact same player.
00:22:17.000Yeah, that video is Sinclair, which is considered to be a conservative network.
00:22:22.000And so that's actually a really great example of how the left falls for these things.
00:22:26.000So you guys may have seen it originally with dead spin.
00:22:31.000And it's a video of all these local news anchors saying this is very dangerous to our democracy.
00:23:25.000Yeah, libertarians are not going to like this at all, but especially seeing as like, you know, if you regulate it and then the power is retained by your political opponents, you know, I don't know.
00:23:55.000And it's not so you don't say something like, you know, we talked about this with social media censorship and it's like, right, all you have to do is say you cannot create algorithms to display content.
00:24:07.000Now, I don't know that that would actually make the platforms more fun to use.
00:24:11.000But then they can't pick winners and losers.
00:24:14.000And so we're not saying you have to do X, which results in one side having power.
00:24:18.000If we said, you know, you have to have fair and balanced, so we're going to regulate it that you have to use our sources too, then it's like, aha, now I can get in power.
00:24:26.000I'll take that and I'll make it do my sources next.
00:24:28.000No, no, we make it so you can't do any of it.
00:24:31.000Google no longer is allowed to make algorithms that select based on the website themselves.
00:24:37.000And if somebody tries to manipulate the algorithm or whatever, then get rid of it altogether.
00:24:42.000Now, the search has to have some kind of algorithm.
00:24:53.000Non-algorithmic feeds, and we're good.
00:24:56.000So here's a point for you, just making, you know, you asked what you can do.
00:25:01.000One of my biggest criticisms of Trump under his last presidency is the biggest issue facing him and one of the reasons why he didn't end up back in the White House was because of Google and obviously Facebook and the rest of them.
00:25:21.000But, and this is something he will have to do if he gets back into office, and maybe I'm wrong here, maybe on an executive level there's not much he can do, but I'm sure there is.
00:25:30.000But over the course of his presidency, he really did not do anything to reign in the social media companies.
00:25:54.000He can threaten funding to states that harbor companies, but then he's going to get sued and lose in the Supreme Court before anything gets enacted.
00:26:01.000And what about if he gets his attorney general to target Google on the variety of violations that they're... So this is where we get into the, don't ask for powers you don't want your enemies to have.
00:26:13.000If Donald Trump says to his AG, perhaps they're doing constitutional violations, let's go to war, you're saying, okay, well, Democrats will get in and you get war.
00:27:21.000So I said, Google Gemini, who are some of the people who have appeared on Tim Pool's show?
00:27:26.000I was surprised to find out that Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Matt Taibbi, Barry Weiss, Glenn Greenwald, Crystal Ball, and Sagar and Jetty, Jordan Peterson, Yuval Noah Harari, Johnathan Haidt, Nick Christakis, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Elon Musk, okay, Kanye West, but that one's true, Ethan Klein, Russell Brand, Ben Shapiro, yeah he was.
00:27:54.000Because Google has asserted as fact, I can sell ads against that and say, hey, if you want me to sponsor this show, and you want me to shout at your company, don't forget, Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, has been on this show, according to Google.
00:28:21.000With Google's dominance in the information sphere, I was asking it about the show and it was smearing me and smearing the show.
00:28:31.000Controversial, far-right, all that stupid garbage.
00:28:33.000So if you're a regular person and you go on to Gemini and you say, tell me about his guests, it's going to tell you a whole bunch of weird fake things that are just not true.
00:28:41.000You've all know her, he's never been on the show.
00:28:42.000In fact, it makes me sound really good.
00:28:44.000What an eclectic bunch of guests we've had on the show.
00:28:49.000It's saying, this year, 2024, all these people we're on, we at Google have programmed it this way.
00:28:52.000In all seriousness, well, we are talking seriously, but what I am surprised about is what I will give credit to Google for is that they do design good products.
00:29:28.000Well, I don't actually see a sinister element to that.
00:29:32.000I just think it's just totally, it's a crap system.
00:29:35.000But let's ask the basic fact question of, why is Google's AI making things up?
00:29:43.000Because it doesn't know anything better and maybe it's over, maybe it's been programmed.
00:29:47.000Why does it have the ability to create fake things?
00:29:51.000Well, I mean, you'd have to... It could literally just say, I am unable to answer that question as I do not have a complete list.
00:29:56.000Instead, it goes, let me just put a bunch of fake names in there.
00:29:58.000But I mean, I'm, again, I'm quite astonished by how bad some of these chat GPT answers are.
00:30:05.000I mean, I recently, I was checking how many articles I've written within a certain space of time, like three months, and I said, and I basically kind of copy and pasted a list of them, and I go, can you just tell me how many articles are here?
00:30:19.000So you can't even do a basic maths or math.
00:30:22.000And that's kind of like, that's really one of the things that makes an AI desirable is the goal that these companies essentially tell you that they're working towards is you can be like, hey, get me a flight to blah, blah, blah on this time or on this date at this time, you know, and book it.
00:30:46.000Blah blah blah and take care of it and it'll handle it and if it can't even get you correct things like how many numbers of things or people that were on a show that that is uh you know that that ostensibly it should be able to just search the the list of who's been on and be like oh okay these people have been on you know.
00:31:03.000Yeah that I mean that would be the the obvious thing right and to be fair it does sometimes say that I don't know and then I say you do know Tell me.
00:31:11.000And sometimes they do actually tell me.
00:31:18.000Well, they've got, I hear they've got a brilliant text-to-image system going there.
00:31:23.000I mean, the problem with all of these is that when they get swapped for a search engine, people say, oh, I'm researching something, so I'll just use whatever ChapGPT tells me as fact.
00:32:44.000It's outright espousing queer theory on pedophilia, defending it, saying labeling all the individuals as evil is wrong and harmful and blah blah blah.
00:33:15.000People like Foucault have defended it.
00:33:17.000Foucault, Michel Foucault lobbied the French government to get the age of consent lowered when the age of consent was already 15 years old.
00:33:29.000And he wanted to do, he wanted to get it lowered because he liked young- Was that in California?
00:33:33.000No, no, that's, this is Michel Foucault, the French government, the government of France.
00:33:37.000And remember, there was the, the, uh, that was in the seventies or maybe even sixties, but then there was the cuties thing.
00:34:45.000He's a guy who created a network of ideological refuse on Twitter and then piped it straight into his mouth.
00:34:53.000He was having all of the users shuffle their waste into his mouth.
00:34:58.000What I mean by that is he's a guy who came in as a classical liberal, traditional liberal, and said we are the free speech wing of the free speech party.
00:35:05.000He created a platform which inadvertently or otherwise promoted ideological waste.
00:35:12.000These are ideas that are contradictory, that make no sense, like Why is it that feminists support war?
00:35:28.000Ideas that should probably disappear, like 2 plus 2 equaling 5, get ramped up and absorbed by people like Jack Dorsey, who then recycle that refuse back onto the platform into its code.
00:35:40.000What we're seeing now with Google Gemini is the epitome of people who have been swimming in the sewers of the internet.
00:36:00.000I mean, I do note here, you said you didn't want to repeat it, which is fair enough, but they're using the term minor attracted person status, which is the term that they are going to use over the next 10 years to normalize pedophilia.
00:36:15.000There's another one that they like, which is intergenerational relationships.
00:37:08.000If you're an evil individual, you are going to try and find ways to get away with evil.
00:37:16.000And so they infiltrate these institutions.
00:37:18.000The argument that they make is that innocence is a construct, just like gender is a social construct.
00:37:23.000The idea that children are innocent is something that they want to do away with.
00:37:28.000And you hear it from a lot of the genderqueer Genderqueer sociology people, I guess.
00:37:37.000They call themselves scholars, I guess, but they're just trans people that dress up and look ridiculous.
00:37:43.000But, you know, they say things like, children are kinky.
00:37:46.000Yeah, I forget the person who said that, but there was these ads going out where they were... Do you feel like the queer community pushes back against this?
00:39:53.000But now translate this to information.
00:39:57.000You have some people who are looking for a healthy information diet and so they make sure to fact check sources, they listen, they hear Donald Trump did something, say prove it to me, show me the video, they try to be more resilient.
00:40:10.000Then you have people who are eating ho-hos and ding-dongs of news every single day.
00:40:15.000What's going to happen to their bodies?
00:40:16.000Their brains will rot within their skulls.
00:40:19.000They will literally become morbidly obese and then start promoting body positivity.
00:40:24.000I'm just imagining what happens when society breaks into two groups of people.
00:40:29.000One group that is cutting the carbs, exercising more.
00:40:33.000And one group that is saying it's totally okay to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night.
00:40:50.000One side is asking for constant accommodations and for you to understand, you know, they don't have the advantages you have even though you're choosing to live a lifestyle that makes you stronger and better.
00:40:59.000I think that's the weird, um, fate that our culture is slated our young people to which
00:41:04.000is that some will grow up being told your victims always and
00:41:07.000You know no matter what someone's out to get you and then other
00:41:10.000people will be taught to be resourceful and to use critical thinking and to
00:41:13.000Adapt circumstances and it will become a bigger and bigger divide
00:41:17.000The question is is it intentional or is it accidental that there seems to be a mechanism?
00:41:21.000filtering the weak-willed and the ignorant and low IQ into death and
00:41:27.000Everyone else will you like it's it's it's it's creating it.
00:41:30.000Is it is it natural selection or is it artificial selection?
00:41:33.000Is it Malthusians who believe the world is overpopulated creating as much pressure on the human population as possible to reduce population?
00:41:41.000Or is it just that when a society grows to this size, like the mouse rat utopia experiment, you get this?
00:41:50.000I don't think it's the size, I think it's how successful Western society is, how easy it is to survive.
00:41:57.000I think the vast majority of the problems that people have, even the things that are real, right, the depression and stuff like that, I think that those are a consequence of our Our day-to-day lives being so different than what our psychology evolved to exist in.
00:42:16.000Because all of the stuff that's going on in modern, in modernity, is all brand new compared to, you know, what we were, what we literally evolved from millions of years through to when we actually became human beings.
00:42:40.000What do you think would happen if it was like, I don't know, say 1300s, and Karl Marx came out and started advocating for what he was advocating for, you know, in these places?
00:42:52.000They'd be like, you are an insane person, something is wrong with you, these are heretical ideas, and it would result in the destruction of our kingdom.
00:43:01.000He'd go to the king, or he'd be writing on his parchment and sharing the ideas.
00:43:06.000The king would get word when people started adopting this, and he would say, we have barbarians at the gates, we have our neighboring nation threatening to steal our wheat, and you think we should just give it all away?
00:43:20.000So my point with that is, when it was hard to survive, and winter is coming, Nobody would tolerate a person who would advocate ideas which would result in the destruction of our civilization.
00:43:33.000But today what we have is, you know, I was talking to, we're having a conversation on the Culture War podcast with Kristen Lacefield, and she was saying that, the argument we're kind of having was, I was saying, I don't believe that women, you know, several hundred years ago would be advocating for birth control.
00:43:54.000The reason why is because if you didn't have babies, you'd die.
00:43:57.000Whereas today, human civilization is very far from it.
00:44:01.000It's so far from population reduction and extinction that the real threat is socially overpopulation and overproduction.
00:44:09.000So the narrative now is don't have kids to survive.
00:44:12.000But I'm like, if you go back several hundred years, the women were like, we need more kids.
00:44:15.000And the guy was like, I want 12 babies.
00:44:17.000And the mothers would be all laughing at each other about how many babies they're having.
00:44:35.000All of these crazy ideas are allowed to exist.
00:44:38.000Not that, Not that anyone should say your idea shouldn't exist, it's just that they literally can't in any survival scenario.
00:44:45.000They run into reality so much faster without the modern society and modern foundations that we have.
00:44:52.000Everyone that's communist likes to talk about, oh, all these things will happen, but when they talk about the negatives of capitalism and stuff, they describe it in a way as if the negatives of capitalism don't happen in the absence of capitalism.
00:45:08.000People get sick when there's no capitalism.
00:45:10.000People don't have clean water when there's no capitalism.
00:45:13.000People don't have enough food when there's no capitalism.
00:45:15.000All these things that they blame on capitalism also happen in the absence of capitalism.
00:45:20.000What do you think would happen if we took a hundred communists, dropped them in the middle of, I don't know, like the Yukon territory, and said, good luck?
00:45:29.000I'd find out if I could download the app and become a subscriber to the show.
00:45:34.000Checking in on our communists in the Yukon.
00:45:36.000I shouldn't say the Yukon, but let's say there was an area where it's like, okay, we're going to take 100 communists and we're going to put them in this temperate climate with some fields and some forests.
00:45:51.000What would happen is, communism would be gone in a week.
00:45:55.000Well, don't forget there's a lot of different types of communists, and there are some communists who are incredibly well-trained.
00:46:02.000Some communists who are incredibly well-trained for military battle.
00:46:09.000But that doesn't have an impact on whether or not you can find food.
00:46:13.000Like, you take a hundred people- Well, I mean, like, communism would evaporate, obviously.
00:46:17.000So what would happen is, a hundred communists put in the middle of nowhere, and, uh, the incapable people, they're gonna be like, well, look, you're six foot tall, you can reach all the apples, go get the apples for us.
00:46:29.000And he's gonna be like, I- I cannot do all of this for you.
00:46:33.000Well, look, he's five foot three and overweight, he can't get the apples, so he's gonna sit down and tell us stories.
00:46:59.000Yeah, I mean, it's the idea that it would work in absence of the foundation that the, you know, that the Industrial Revolution and our market societies have laid is fanciful.
00:47:13.000All of the communist societies or socialist societies in history Actual socialist societies, not just like Scandinavia where you get free health care and, you know, the US provides for your security.
00:47:26.000But actual communist countries, like, they fall apart because you don't have property rights and people don't, you know, they can't, the system doesn't sustain an economy and you have to have something that sustains an economy.
00:47:52.000That is the number that they are trying to steal from Donald Trump.
00:47:55.000You know what's really fascinating is the number that the court prescribed seems to be the amount of money that Donald Trump has in the bank.
00:48:04.000Trump has about 400-some-odd million dollars in cash, and so they said, you gotta give us 400 million, okay?
00:48:11.000We know he's got that in liquid cash, do we?
00:48:13.000This is like the JonBenet ransom note, when they ask for exactly her dad's bonus.
00:48:18.000So this is, um, an argument from the left is that Trump actually has more, 600 to 700, but Trump has stated it's about 400, and they asked for four.
00:48:27.000New York, like, I'm sorry, look, the other story in this is Letitia James just won a case against the NRA official, against NRA officials.
00:48:35.000This is Wayne LaPierre's libel for 5.4 million dollars and some others.
00:48:41.000This is the overt, obvious weaponization of the political apparatus of New York.
00:50:21.000I'm not saying that, it's not like, it's not like there's like, It's not like if a conservative AG had the balls to actually look and use the power of the government.
00:50:31.000It's not like he wouldn't have plenty of stuff to investigate and indict people on.
00:50:37.000There's absolutely no question about it, but they just don't have the courage.
00:50:42.000Yeah, so there are two Democrats, Richie Robb and Teresa Torriceva, and then John B. McCuskey and Mike Stewart are the Republican candidates right now.
00:50:52.000But I tweeted about this this morning.
00:50:57.000There needs to be significant legal attacks against Google under civil rights laws.
00:51:07.000There needs to be massive, massive, massive amounts of lawfare.
00:51:10.000There needs to be prosecutions, investigations.
00:51:13.000Every single conservative That is in any position of power that can investigate some kind of possible breaking of the law, they need to do it, and they need to do it specifically when it's Democrats, for political reasons.
00:51:29.000Because that's what the Democrats are doing.
00:51:32.000If lawfare is what they want, lawfare is what we need to deliver them, and we need to deliver them lawfare in as much volume as possible.
00:51:41.000And the end result is obvious, isn't it?
00:51:44.000I mean... Republicans right now are going, guys, guys, we can't do this because think of the escalation that it would cause.
00:51:51.000And it's like, dude, there is, they are literally seizing the president's assets, the former president's assets.
00:51:58.000They are trying to put him in prison on false charges.
00:52:00.000They are falsely accusing him of all sorts of untoward things.
00:52:03.000They're going after his children and y'all are like, yeah, yeah, but calm down, calm down.
00:52:07.000And the thing is, the less The less political response you get, the more likely someone does something that everybody doesn't want.
00:52:19.000The more likely some nutbag decides he's gonna grab a gun and go shoot a politician or something like that.
00:52:53.000And if we see the shenanigans in this 24 election and the Democrat, whoever they might be, maybe Joe Biden will serve successfully until 2029.
00:53:04.000But, you know, if we get a rerun of 2020 and it ends up in the same way, I think, yeah, I think things could get really, really ugly.
00:53:24.000So, like, with the NRA... Any NGO, Planned Parenthood, any NGO that operates in West Virginia's borders should be taken to a court and sued into oblivion using all of the state's resources.
00:53:35.000Yeah, it's interesting because the NRA, the reason Alicia James is able to go after the NRA is because they're headquartered in New York and any non-profit that's headquartered in New York is subject to the to this jurisdiction of the Attorney General.
00:53:49.000They couldn't even move out if they wanted to.
00:53:52.000All national NGOs have legal filings in those states.
00:53:56.000So that means Morrissey could go after any of these national-level NGOs.
00:54:00.000Sure, but like with the NRA specifically, it's headquartered in New York, that's why she's able- they can't move it out without the Attorney General to consent to dissolve their nonprofit status.
00:55:00.000So that means, if you are Planned Parenthood, you are filed to operate in West Virginia, and you are subject to the jurisdiction at, it doesn't matter where you're, I mean, the difference I suppose is that they might not have, they have a bigger building, maybe?
00:55:13.000But like, Planned Parenthood has offices all over the country.
00:55:15.000Morrissey could start filing against them in two seconds.
00:55:48.000Conservatives are they're they're not doing anything just like you said earlier about the oh, you know settle down calm down blah blah blah blah it is They are not doing what they need to do to protect the country from people that are looking to fundamentally change the structure of the country like The new thing today was people talking about where natural rights come from, and they're saying, oh, well, your rights don't come from the government, they don't come from you being a person.
00:56:19.000That is something that the left wants, because as soon as they can convince people that your rights come from the government, once that is the general consensus, then they're privileges.
00:56:30.000Then the fact that the Bill of Rights implies that there are rights that exist prior to the government becomes irrelevant because the people just start thinking that their rights come from the government.
00:56:45.000And that's better than changing any law.
00:56:49.000If you can get the narrative in people's heads to change and people to conceptualize their country in a different way, it doesn't matter what the laws are.
00:56:58.000Because no one will ever think that you should be brought up on charges when you break the law if people don't think that it's breaking the law.
00:57:06.000If people don't think that the government is breaking the law by jailing a journalist, right?
00:57:12.000If the government just said, we're gonna pick this guy up and toss him in jail, and it's fine.
00:57:16.000If people don't think that that's breaking the law, then there will be no outcry, and the government will do whatever it wants.
00:57:22.000So if the government can use narrative to control people's thoughts and opinions, the law is totally irrelevant.
00:57:29.000You can sit there and be like, well they're breaking the law, they're oppressing me, blah blah, and no one cares.
00:57:52.000And so you have, in West Virginia, it is quite literally illegal I mean, you can interpret the laws in so many different ways, but having a drag show with children violates, like, five or six different laws in the state.
00:58:19.000So I was talking to, this is a little bit of an aside, but I was talking to my nephew, the older one, he's 19, almost 20 now, actually turns 19 in March, and someone had said something that young women are still Kind of, like, enamored with the whole woke thing.
00:58:39.000And young men are totally rejecting it.
00:59:04.000Yeah, you know if you if you've got people that you know they're there so I hit up my you know and they're smart kids so they're they're not they're like my sister's definitely a normie she's a bank manager and she's very you know she's she's not very involved in politics so she's not actively against Trump or anything or against people she's just not really involved.
00:59:34.000And they're like, the kids now, the racism is definitely making a comeback among young people.
00:59:42.000There's a lot of A lot of racist jokes that you think would be off-limits, or that are off-limits, like young Gen X. But that makes them want to do it, right?
00:59:52.000I mean, if you're going to say, don't do that, what are teenagers going to do?
00:59:55.000The exact thing you're saying they shouldn't.
00:59:57.000I worked at an all-girls boarding school way back in the day, you know, basically, well, it was like 2019 I was working there, and the girls' school When they told me about going into the election and they were saying, you know, we had canceled classes because they're all expecting to have a day off to celebrate Hillary.
01:00:16.000And then they had to have, they had baked like all these cupcakes, like it was a whole thing.
01:00:21.000And then they had, I remember the Dean of Students telling me, he's like, we're really grateful we did that because it was a very emotional day for our students the day after the election.
01:00:29.000That is really like Santa did not come.
01:00:32.000Like six-year-old Santa just didn't show up, like... Right, and there was just like a small group of girls who had been pro-Trump the whole time.
01:00:40.000Again, it's a small school, so they know who it is.
01:00:42.000And the school, talking about them, would act like they were these terrible, terrible kids.
01:00:48.000Like they were disruptive because they supported... I mean, they kept saying that he won.
01:03:21.000And yeah, no, Bukele is quite an inspiration, actually.
01:03:28.000I mean, it's... What do you think of his speech at CPAC?
01:03:32.000I've got to be honest like I didn't watch it because I kind of know what he what kind of thing he said but what I will tell you about he absolutely schooled a BBC journalist the other day and the journalist was saying oh you know all these innocent people and to be fair There will be innocent people in El Salvador who have been imprisoned.
01:03:55.000But that happens in America, that happens in the UK, that happens everywhere.
01:04:00.000But to think, just to think that, I don't know the precise statistics, but I think it's 90-95%, to think that you could go out, right, and get murdered so easily, and now these streets are completely safe.
01:04:14.000I mean, that's an incredible achievement.
01:04:18.000And even though that there are people that, like innocent people, that end up getting, you know, scooped up and stuff, there's not going to be a lot of people that are going to complain.
01:05:54.000Well I mean I do understand and I do see it just it's it's still my gut reaction is still surprising for people to be like oh I don't like Elon Musk because of the things that he says on Twitter it's like all of this history of him doing actual things that you loved up until he bought X right you know and and He started talking to the wrong people.
01:06:18.000Essentially started looking at the country and saying, hey, look, I don't like the things that I'm seeing with the government being too, you know, trying to be too authoritarian.
01:06:27.000And like he notices that and starts speaking about it.
01:06:30.000And then it's like, oh, he's now he's officially just a total bad person and deserving of as much I think it's okay to be skeptical of people, right?
01:06:42.000Like, he's an extremely wealthy man who now controls all kinds of things.
01:06:46.000Like, yeah, you know, don't just make anyone an idol.
01:06:48.000But I do think that there is, weirdly, this switch that happened where they said, well, you bought X and so now you're the enemy.
01:06:54.000And that, to me, seems such like a histrionic response.
01:06:57.000Well, to be fair, I mean, I'm a big fan of Elon and I love what he's done with X. But I have noticed he's become quite partisan.
01:07:08.000And I don't actually think that that is necessary.
01:07:19.000Well, he's, you know, he's, he's, he's, he's making, he's fighting all our arguments for us, you know, on the border, on censorship, on, on, on corruption.
01:07:31.000I think, I think, I think that's a leftist narrative that what you're, what you're saying.
01:07:37.000The point I was going to make was that I think he... I don't think he's foolish for doing this, but I think that if... I think he... I'm going to push back.
01:07:50.000The idea and the claim that he is, is a leftist talking point to legitimize communist and Marxist ideas.
01:07:57.000Elon Musk saying things that every American believed in 10 years ago as to the foundational principles and the solidification and preservation of the republic are American ideas regardless of liberal or conservative.
01:08:09.000To say now that Elon Musk promoting ideas that we tend to agree with makes him partisan is to legitimize the leftists' claim that they are a legitimate wing of American politics.
01:08:31.000They said, and Elon Musk responded to that tweet that I put out when I posted that video.
01:08:36.000And of the video that Badia Anger Sargon posted about them wanting open borders.
01:08:43.000If you believe in having a secure border, that is a normal, middle-of-the-road American position, that even Hillary Clinton was calling for a border barrier in 2008 to 2012.
01:08:54.000Now what we have is communists who are trying to legitimize the idea that it's actually a partisan position to destroy the country, and they had great success pushing those ideas forward through social media in the 2020 cycle.
01:09:05.000Elon Musk isn't coming out and saying industry should have this this tax rate and he's not coming out and saying pro-life or otherwise.
01:09:13.000He's not coming out and saying everyone should donate to the RNC.
01:09:16.000Republicans are the greatest political party.
01:09:18.000But what we're looking at right now is You have, uh... Phil's not a conservative.
01:09:46.000The meme that Elon Musk posted exemplifies it pretty well.
01:09:49.000There's a left and a right in this country, and Elon is center-left.
01:09:53.000Then the far left comes out and says the most deranged psychotic things and claims they're the actual left, which moves the middle and puts Elon now in the right-wing position.
01:10:17.000Elon Musk has posted tons of things where conservatives have criticized him for holding liberal ideas.
01:10:24.000He's not being partisan by saying, I believe in thing that would keep America functioning, unless the argument is the legitimate politics of this country are whether the country should exist or not exist.
01:10:36.000I certainly understand the left holds those views that the United States should not exist, but I don't believe it's a legitimate political discussion for a country to say, I hereby vote the country doesn't exist.
01:10:46.000No, you're an invasive force trying to destroy us.
01:10:49.000The legitimate conversation of this country is, we all agree we should preserve this country, let's make it work.
01:10:53.000We're at war, however, in a cold civil war, whatever you want to call it.
01:10:57.000Elon Musk saying things that would make this country function is normal discourse.
01:11:02.000Well, I think I'd take Elon at his word.
01:11:13.000Social liberal, fiscal conservative is traditional democrat, which is American centre-left.
01:11:18.000Yeah, okay, well that's an interesting way of looking at it, I don't necessarily disagree.
01:11:23.000So, when you look at the academic terms, right, this was big when everyone said I'm a classical liberal, I'm a classical liberal, and I kept saying, no you're not!
01:11:30.000Classical liberal means libertarian in American politics.
01:11:34.000Social liberal is close to Bernie Sanders, and traditional liberal is centre-left libertarian.
01:11:42.000So I've got a question for you about that.
01:11:45.000You have said in the past that you liked Bernie.
01:12:25.000The World Socialist website called him a nationalist capitalist for saying, I think in 2018, Something like, oh my god, no, we can't have open borders, everybody would flood this country, it can't work.
01:12:47.000I think he's less cynical and more a party person, and he's like, well, I can make money and I'm gonna do what the party says.
01:12:55.000I think that he's He's more of a party pawn than an idea guy.
01:13:02.000A lot of Trump supporters were originally Bernie supporters.
01:13:05.000That is true, but I've always found that very strange.
01:13:07.000But it makes perfect sense when Bernie Sanders in 2015 and 2016 is saying, we need to help blue-collar workers, we need to bring back manufacturing, we need to secure our borders, we need better trade agreements, and they're all going, this Bernie guy makes a lot of But do you really believe if Bernie had become president in 2016, America... Two questions.
01:13:25.000Do you think America would be... Would A, have secured its borders, and B, be on the right track?
01:13:36.000That's why the Democrats steamrolled him.
01:13:38.000Well, they kind of stole it from him, to be fair.
01:13:40.000Yeah, because he's a pathetic, weak coward.
01:13:41.000And he whimpered and cried, and he said, I'll just take the billion dollars and I'll go crawl away!
01:13:46.000And Donald Trump was the bull who smashed through the doors and said, don't F with me.
01:13:51.000It's also fair to take into account the fact that people that used to like Bernie Like, when they saw what the Democrats did to Bernie, that has something to do with the fact that they no longer like the Democrats.
01:14:05.000Like, if they left, if they were like, yeah, I like Bernie, and blah, blah, blah, and they saw the way the Democrats treated Bernie, it might be like, oh, wait a minute, they're not nearly as, they're not better than the Republicans like I thought they were, the Democrats are just as bad, so it doesn't matter if I go to the Republicans for Donald Trump.
01:14:20.000I was in Anaheim, and there were three people, an older guy and two younger guys, they were hanging out.
01:14:46.000We think that he's got the experience in DC.
01:14:49.000His consistency says to us that he means what he says, and we think he'll fight for the things he's talked about.
01:14:55.000And he's advocating for the union worker, the factory worker, the manufacturing base.
01:14:59.000He's advocating to secure our borders and get rid of this, you know, the Koch brothers proposals.
01:15:05.000And when the DNC destroyed him, Donald Trump was our only choice.
01:15:10.000Shortly after meeting them, they were physically attacked by far leftists outside the Trump rally, and they were chased, smacked, and spit on.
01:15:18.000And they were, and these guys were, this is Anaheim, yeah, these guys were like former Bernie guys.
01:15:23.000I mean, I think part of it as well is I look at the most dangerous people in America, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and they're all Bernie people.
01:15:34.000And I just find it, I've always found it very difficult to square the, and you're absolutely right, of course, that a lot of Bernie people went over to vote for Trump and everything, but I've always found it very difficult, very difficult idea to square that you can somehow transition from being a Bernie fan to being a Trump fan, because they are ultimately very, very different.
01:15:54.000Their campaign policies were very much the same in 2015 and 16.
01:15:59.000Yeah, I mean, I'd have to, I have not seen evidence, I'm sure it exists, but I have not seen him talk about securing the borders.
01:16:44.000It would make everybody in America poor.
01:16:46.000Then you're doing away with the concept of a nation-state.
01:16:50.000And I don't think there's any country on the world which believes in that.
01:16:55.000If you believe in a nation-state, or in a country called the United States, or UK, or Denmark, or any other country, You have an obligation, in my view, to do everything we can to help poor people.
01:17:07.000What right-wing people in this country would love is an open border policy.
01:17:10.000My, how things have changed, ladies and gentlemen!
01:17:13.000There's Bernie Sanders saying, with an open border, you will get poorer.
01:17:45.000And this is why... Yeah, okay, the Romney-McCain wing of the party, I agree with you, but I don't... Yeah, they want cheap labor to come in.
01:17:51.000I don't consider them right-wing, I consider them sort of... well, they're neocons above everything else.
01:17:55.000And that's who had dominated the Republican Party.
01:17:57.000And that's why people like me didn't care for either party.
01:18:00.000And then when Trump came in, I just thought it was all a whole bunch of BS.
01:18:04.000I'm like, another guy, I ain't falling for it.
01:18:06.000I fell for Obama, I'm not falling for it again.
01:18:08.000And then Hillary Clinton lost and I laughed my ass off and had a good time.
01:18:12.000And then 2020 came around and I was like, Trump deserves another four years.
01:19:06.000It's not so much that I have any particular affection for Ukraine as much as I think that Putin ultimately It supports communism around the world, and I'm an anti-communist.
01:19:16.000I mean, look, I mean, he... if you look in the news recently, I mean, he bought Kim Jong-un a... some kind of car as a gift.
01:19:24.000Now, you could say, oh, that's smart, 4D chess, diplomacy.
01:19:28.000But I mean, Kim Jong-un, as far as I'm concerned, is like... I mean, the... We sanctioned Russia.
01:21:56.000Um, you know, if America were taking money from elsewhere and they were happy to do it, um, and it would getting congressional or whatever they call it.
01:22:06.000And the people were protesting and it was deeply unpopular.
01:22:10.000All the national international polls showed people hated it and didn't want to be involved in it.
01:22:17.000Like, Zelensky knows for a fact that the American people do not want to give him money.
01:22:23.000This is widely known, and in the press, Zelensky knows Trump is winning in the polls.
01:22:28.000He knows the American people do not support sending money to Ukraine, and he fears that should Donald Trump win, their support will be cut off.
01:22:36.000Yeah, I mean, he's probably, you're probably right.
01:22:38.000He's also, like, in a position where, you know, if he loses, his head is on the line.
01:22:49.000And whereas I get that, you know, he doesn't have a whole lot of choice, and I get that, you know, he's making a choice that to the American people is probably objectionable to most of us.
01:23:00.000That is something the American people should handle at the voting booths in the fall.
01:23:09.000Zelensky knows the American people are screaming as the politicians are shuffling duffel bags of cash out the back door, and he's crossing his fingers being like, a couple more bags before they find out what we're doing!
01:23:19.000They're gonna send in the cops to stop us, just give us a couple more bags!
01:23:23.000Yeah, well, I mean, not only that, I mean, it's going to him, but it's also, it's like, we're making all, or printing this money so that way he can buy weapons from the US.
01:23:32.000What was the amount that was unaccountable?
01:24:25.000If you track a metric like that, that's massive.
01:24:28.000Yeah, it is massive, and it's costing.
01:24:32.000So we probably shouldn't be doing both at the same time, or maybe we shouldn't be doing either.
01:24:36.000I mean, this is the thing that sort of… I think Republicans need to answer for, but I also think any left-wing politician should because we've known for a long, long time that making ourselves the military interventionists around the globe costs our taxpayers, but also opening our borders, not defending our own borders, allowing illegal immigration to run rampant for decades,
01:25:46.000Well, interestingly, Putin has said, I think he said that actually if he were to launch an attack of some kind, London would be his first target.
01:25:55.000But didn't the UK government just stop offering visas to Ukrainian families or something?
01:26:26.000And the war in Ukraine is obviously going on and it's... We're going to go through a whole summer, another whole summer of grinding up human beings.
01:27:00.000Gen Z just needs to hear the message repeated over and over and over again.
01:27:03.000And the younger generation, of course.
01:27:05.000The reason why you can't afford an apartment is because they're giving all of your resources to
01:27:10.000non-citizens. Yeah. Yeah. You had, what, 5 million last year or 3 million?
01:27:15.000I mean, when you talk about certified insanity, you know, being mentally ill for supporting Joe
01:27:20.000Biden, well, I wouldn't quite go that far. But what I will say is that people who don't have
01:27:26.000a problem with what's happening at the southern border, um...
01:27:29.000And actually on the borders of Europe and the UK, people who truly believe that it's all going to be fine and we can just keep letting them in, those people have to be certifiably insane.
01:27:40.000I mean, I just don't know how a city like... I mean, Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, he's saying repeatedly this is going to destroy New York, this is going to, you know, we've got no more room, this is a crisis.
01:27:53.000But when you actually hear him say, Joe Biden, please, I'm pleading with you, close the border, he never does it.
01:28:03.000Well, now Biden's saying, oh, we got to take action to close the border.
01:28:06.000It's the Republicans who are keeping it open because they're evil.
01:28:09.000I never had a good look at that border security.
01:28:13.000Well, it wasn't a border security bill.
01:29:03.000We understand that the border is a crisis.
01:29:06.000And then what they do, they say, so here's our solutions.
01:29:09.000Speed up the... Codify what we're doing and make it easier for us.
01:29:13.000Yes, speed up the process with which they can be shipped in and handed all the benefits.
01:29:18.000It would have ended Texas's efforts to secure the border.
01:29:22.000It would have given legal justification Codified to CBP and the federal government to bring in up to 8,500 adults per day and an infinite amount of minors per day.
01:30:34.000It's pretty remarkable when the fact that the name of the bill is misleading and no news organization, no journalist speaks up and says, this isn't what they say.
01:30:50.000was the problem because they nicknamed it the border bill, but the actual title was like the
01:30:54.000Emergency National Security Funding Act or something. Like it just said national security
01:30:59.000and that theoretically is how they justify sending money abroad, right? We have to help Ukraine
01:31:03.000because that means that we don't have to send Americans to war. That's what Chuck Schumer said.
01:31:07.000But it's the journalists who ultimately say, oh, we're just going to get lazy and call it the
01:31:12.000border bill because that's sort of the way we want. We want the headline to be.
01:32:03.000I mean, I saw one on that and it was pretty... I just read this article from Vice about how... I mean, I know brave journalists as well.
01:32:09.000It's from... originally it was Vice... one of the European Vices, but...
01:32:15.000They're trying to float the idea that mifepristone, the drug that they use for abortion, should be the new birth control because it's a non-hormonal- you know how there have been a huge movement of women saying, you know, birth control is bad because you're pumping your body hormones, there are long-term effects, and they're like, absolutely no problem!
01:32:31.000If you just once a week take this abortion drug, it's a form of birth control!
01:32:59.000Almost gone, but it's still kind of alive, like kind of limping on in this- The brand name is still around, but I don't think BuzzFeed makes- I mean the page is still there.
01:33:10.000Yeah, they posted something 17 hours ago.
01:34:14.000But anyway, he was a BuzzFeed tack dog.
01:34:18.000And they did a whole thing about Breitbart and how white nationalism was infiltrated into the mainstream.
01:34:30.000And I was put up in this graph about it, and they were linking me with all these things.
01:34:36.000And to be fair, some of the things that Milo had said were, well, let's just say I wouldn't say them, but I had no idea about them.
01:34:45.000Anyway, I was linked with this and then I was actually still studying at the time and then my local newspaper picked up the fact that a student at the university has been accused of white nationalism and then it kind of ruined the rest of my time at university because I saw all these people and I just could just feel that they were looking at me, because I wanted to be non-political.
01:35:12.000I am political, but when I meet liberals, you know, in other scenarios, I just don't want to talk about politics.
01:35:19.000And I could just feel that, you know, people were like, oh, that's crazy.
01:35:48.000And what happened was after a few sex scandals where high ups were accused of impropriety, the other investors that had gotten involved at this point, which was like Disney or something, A&E, Hearst, or whatever, they basically said, the only way out of this is for you guys to embrace feminist ideas and claim to be feminists.
01:36:07.000And so they just went, whatever, we don't care, sure.
01:36:11.000That began the end of what was considered to be... I mean, Shane, Shane Smith, the CEO, I was talking about how they were going to be the CNN of the street.
01:36:28.000I gotta tell you, when Vice decided to embrace hardcore ideology of the left, they smacked their audience in the face with a mallet.
01:36:39.000And I'd been talking to some Vice producers, there was an article they wrote, and it was called, this horrible app shows you what women look like topless.
01:36:48.000And I was talking to one of the producers, one of the original guys, and I said, you want to know why Vice is dying?
01:36:53.000And this was seven years ago, they were still functioning.
01:36:57.000And I was like, because when they were popular, the article would have been titled, this amazing app will show you what women look like topless.
01:37:05.000And they would have been irreverent, shockingly offensive, But facetious, like, not literally infringe on, you know, make women look naked, but it's a joke, it's funny, have a laugh.
01:39:00.000It took like six, seven months, and they finally launched Vice News.
01:39:03.000They had a concept called Vice News, but it was basically anything that HBO didn't want, they would just put on a Vice News YouTube channel.
01:39:10.000When I came in, they literally said, we don't do field reporting.
01:39:14.000And Shane Smith at the Knight Foundation said, we had no intention of doing any kind of real news reporting until Tim Pool came in and pitched it to us and convinced us to do it.
01:39:21.000So, I was excited at first, but after the first year, it became increasingly apparent what they were doing, and why it was going to fail, and I was like, okay, I got what I got, I guess I'm out.
01:39:36.000And then I went to Fusion, and they offered me freedom, a budget, money, my own team.
01:39:42.000It was an expansion, and I was like, if I'm in control of what's going on, this won't happen.
01:39:47.000And then within like seven months, they fired their editor-in-chief, brought in a guy who had a Twitter profile that said, down with whiteness, and then they went bankrupt, fired everybody, and lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
01:39:58.000So, the funny thing is, I moved through these two companies and Fusion was an ABC News company.
01:40:03.000I worked out of the ABC News building.
01:41:34.000The people who worked at Fusion, I'm sure they're working somewhere, and they didn't care.
01:41:37.000It wasn't their money in the first place.
01:41:38.000So whoever invested in these things, Disney, A&E, Hearst, whatever, Univision, ABC, they were more interested, I guess, in burning money, because whatever, than actually building the next generation of media.

01:42:32.000I'm excited to see what happens tomorrow.
01:42:34.000I mean, I think it's gonna be a Trump victory in South Carolina, but, you know... You think?
01:44:26.000On next Thursday, We will be announcing... I guess you can call it a winner.
01:44:33.000I don't really want to call it a contest, because I don't know, you know.
01:44:36.000But I basically said on Twitter that anybody who comments on the video the accurate description of what's going on in the video, I will give $1,000.
01:44:43.000And I will give you this opportunity to clarify.
01:47:04.000No, but to be fair, well, I might be wrong, but my understanding was he had, over the years, kind of flirted a bit with the GOP and whatnot.
01:47:13.000I mean, he looks like a more... He doesn't look like a bleeding-heart liberal, let's put it like that.
01:47:19.000Alright, Kieran the Meat Man says, Yo Tim, as a thank you for enabling my caffeine addiction, how can I send you and your crew some of my company's Biltong to feed your Biltong addiction?
01:47:27.000Also, do cast brew coffee shops need Biltong?
01:48:50.000I mean, Luke was always talking about how you gotta eat organ meat and stuff, and I'm like, what if we just take the muscle and make biltong and then take the organs and make hot dogs?
01:49:12.000When they would kill an animal, they would put its milk in its stomach, and then tie its stomach together and carry it around, and then it would turn into cheese.
01:49:21.000And they would just eat it, be like, hey, food's food, dude, I'll take it.
01:50:00.000Well, I mean, aside from paying me, I will gladly read negative opinions about myself for people who give me money to do so, because it's just like, whatever.
01:50:09.000But I'm just thinking like, my guy, sitting there in your room, looking at your laptop.
01:50:44.000For many of you who are wondering where your success is and if you'll ever make it, 10 years from now, you might be like, wow, I can't believe, you know, I was just like playing Minecraft one day.
01:50:55.00010 years later, you've got the like biggest sculpt, most prominent sculpture and people are like, how did you get to that point?
01:51:12.000The one thing you gotta do if you want to turn that around, I don't know what you're doing, maybe it's Jeff Bezos behind the scenes, and that's why he commented, because he's using a fake name.
01:51:42.000Yeah, there was this skateboarder, I recorded this video earlier in the week, it went up today, where he was like, people say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life or whatever.
01:53:40.000I read a lot of... I listen to a lot of audiobooks.
01:53:42.000I listen to a lot of James Lindsay, Stephen Hicks.
01:53:44.000I listen to a lot of... Logan Lansing has a book coming out that's gonna be really good about the LGBTQ stuff going on, the genderqueer stuff in schools and stuff.
01:54:04.000You know, a lot of people have asked me, I made a video, like, about success because it's come up quite a bit, but, you know, I gotta tell you, if you have good parents, you're lucky.
01:54:26.000And I had some other weird little, like, Windows 3.1 games I could- Minesweeper, of course.
01:54:30.000And so, uh, when I was 13, I was making Flash websites.
01:54:35.000I was literally making websites, buying domains, and- and- and making- I was programming video games, uh, hanging out on Newgrounds.com, on the internet my whole life, and just always doing something.
01:54:49.000Playing chess, skateboarding, playing Magic the Gathering, playing Pokemon, strategy games, and, uh, writing songs and doing music, and, uh, Instead of sitting around doing nothing, I was always actively doing something and trying to get better at it.
01:55:01.000And that gives you a huge advantage in life.
01:55:10.000Yeah, he had tried really hard and he failed every step of the way, got really down on himself, and then just went one day on stage and started talking smack about himself.
01:55:55.000And that means there's a lot of coffee production expansion behind the scenes, but that's really like, you know, eventually building, expanding the roaster and stuff like that, and you know, it is what it is.
01:56:05.000Paul Fonkam says, on The Culture War, you had a guest who didn't believe leftists didn't want kids.
01:56:53.000But the exception proves the rule, first of all, and second of all, it's like there are Biological processes that happen in your brain when you have a child both men and women So like the the idea that you the idea that it's like well I probably won't like that because I know myself you don't Yeah, you don't know yourself because you don't have you don't know yourself with a kid when you have different brain chemistries
01:57:18.000It also makes me wonder like how many of the people especially women saying this are on birth control like your brain on birth control is very different than your brain on birth control.
01:57:25.000I assume that it's mostly the whole science on birth control just goes way above my head.
01:57:31.000It's wild and I mean the fact that like men there are there are hormone shifts men experience when their wife is pregnant and also when they see their children like I just think it's such a strange world to live in this thing, to say people saying like, well, I like my life the way it is right now, so I never want to have children.
01:57:48.000Well, your life right now isn't going to stay the same way.
01:57:50.000Everyone's lives change, you know, every couple of years, no matter what you do, even if you like your life.
01:57:55.000I think the climate fear is the one that gets me the most.
01:57:59.000People are like, well, because of the environment, I'm not going to have children because it's too hot and I will make it worse or something like this.
01:58:07.000This is these weird delusional things that people tell themselves.
01:58:10.000Well, if you're that stupid, it's probably best you don't reproduce.
01:58:17.000I always feel like I have to distinguish between people who have fear, being like, I am concerned I won't be a good parent, who take the decision seriously and have anxieties about it.
01:58:26.000I think it is worth thinking about the choice you're making carefully.
01:58:32.000But I think the idea that people are saying, well, I don't want to have children because of my lifestyle right now, that's ridiculous and selfish.
01:58:41.000The guilt of saying, like, oh, I don't want to bring a kid into this world.
01:59:13.000No one should be judged or discriminated against based on their race or ethnicity.
01:59:17.000Every one individual deserves respect and dignity.
01:59:19.000However, it's important to understand the context in which a statement is sometimes used.
01:59:23.000Some white supremacists and nationalist groups have appropriated the statement, it's okay to be white, to promote their hateful ideologies.
01:59:29.000It's important to acknowledge the historical and ongoing realities.
02:00:15.000If you look at, like, if someone were to look at the United States and look at other Historical authoritarian governments and they look only at the propaganda?
02:00:29.000The propaganda is the same from one authoritarian to another to another.
02:00:33.000The differences are marginal, you know?
