00:03:52.000But then we've got Tucker Carlson's Hunter Biden interview, which people have discussed, where Tucker says Israel made him smear Hunter Biden.
00:04:09.000We got another funny story that apparently Trump is charging $100,000 for early access to his posts, which would basically give you a leg up on the stock market.
00:04:18.000So, people are rightfully freaking out about that.
00:04:21.000We'll talk about that and a lot more before we do, my friends.
00:07:14.000Well, what they're saying is that Royce White's experience, where he said that he was afraid of flying, was a manifestation of his gender dysphoria.
00:07:21.000They're basically saying this is the double edged sword of the whole DEI trans stuff.
00:08:33.000Like the fact that they're making a demand for access to women's spaces, that's bad faith because you're supposed to just take their word for it and play along with what amounts to their disorder, right?
00:08:48.000And again, we say this kind of stuff all the time, but there is no other disorder that people have.
00:09:18.000And the, but the, the, the broader point is like, you're supposed, the, the, The medical establishment is supposed to help people that deal with this.
00:09:27.000If you're schizophrenic, you don't say, you know what, the voices are probably right.
00:09:34.000In no other context, only crazy outliers where they say, okay, maybe you should remove a body part or, hey, maybe those voices you're hearing, maybe they actually got a point.
00:09:47.000So the fact that we entertain this stuff, it's all bad faith.
00:09:50.000Well, the real bad faith, though, I think, is on the part of the WNBA who all of a sudden.
00:09:56.000Does not recognize gender self ID after decades of us hearing that gender self ID is the way to go.
00:10:03.000That if you are a trans woman, all you have to do is announce, I am a woman, I feel female, and we're supposed to all believe that you are female.
00:10:14.000So, what's really bad faith is telling Royce White and Ennis Cantor Freedom, and I think another, you know, be femaled, be penis person, be male, who has said that he.
00:10:28.000He too, he, she too is eligible for the WNBA draft.
00:10:32.000Telling these people that they are not sincerely felt real women, that is in bad faith given all of the rhetoric that we've had over the years.
00:10:43.000And I think that it is, this is the perfect thing that happened that these men came out.
00:10:56.000And then you also had some trans activists being like, well, if you really feel it, then, you know, take some hormones and cut your dick off.
00:11:06.000We were told that it's gender self ID, that if a rapist identifies as a woman, he can get transferred into California Women's Correctional in Chowchilla, and that's nobody's business.
00:13:10.000So the estimate from, what was it, like Hollywood Reporter or Forbes, I'm sorry, was that he's doing 20 million a year, but then you add his nicotine.
00:14:29.000Oh, he's budding up with Hunter Biden?
00:14:31.000It's really the buddying up with Hunter Biden, the not holding him to account for Burisma, not asking him any questions about that, not asking questions about, you know, the Ukraine loan withholders.
00:14:42.000Do you think this is a play for the Democratic establishment people?
00:14:45.000No, I think he's just, you know, wants his friends back.
00:14:50.000Yeah, back to that whole thing where, I mean, you see, like, it seems like it'd be nice to be warm and fuzzy in the fold, just believing and telling the lies you're told.
00:14:58.000It is weird because I watched like half of that Tucker interview with Hunter Biden and I. Couldn't watch the rest of it.
00:15:52.000But when it comes to, you know, back to the trans issue stuff, like the WNBA is not going to let these guys play, and no one on the left is going to make a stink about it, right?
00:16:05.000And I do think that the trans stuff is over.
00:16:07.000I think that that was the thing that killed, that really took the steam out of the left and the whole woke movement.
00:16:14.000The trans people saying, look, you have to recognize my identity when your average person that was just like, well, you know, maybe there are too many black people getting killed by cops.
00:16:33.000Maybe that didn't really look into it and they're like, you know, You know, generally they want to think of themselves as nice people and like maybe they got a point.
00:16:40.000And then the whole LGBT stuff, you hear trans people saying, well, you know, if you don't S my D, you're a bigot.
00:18:22.000And then you'll notice the top right, my viewers, instead of getting points that go up, every time you electrocute your dog, your viewer count goes down.
00:19:41.000Tucker Carlson says Israel pushed him to report false allegations against Hunter Biden.
00:19:46.000Former U.S. President Sun says Netanyahu Operations Center was involved in disseminating alleged drugs and sex leaks.
00:19:54.000The claim that there was material involving the abuse of minors on the computer came from the Israelis, Carlson said in an interview aired on Monday.
00:19:59.000I'm just telling you that they came to me with it and that's how I know it.
00:21:08.000But it was definitely, they were definitely talking about how it was misinformation.
00:21:12.000And it sounded like a repetition of the Jen Psaki talking points and the 51 CIA agents who all said that it had hallmarks of Russian disinformation.
00:23:56.000I was doing live stream stuff at the time with Ustream.
00:23:58.000Luke had been on YouTube for at that point six, seven years.
00:24:02.000And so he said, after Obama's elected, all the views on our content is going to go to zero because nobody cares about politics right after the election.
00:24:12.000Well, the truth is, you'll get the first 100 days news cycle.
00:24:15.000And then that tracks basically, you get that first year of what's going to happen next.
00:24:20.000And with Trump's first year of his second term, there's a lot happening.
00:24:27.000I mean, we had big viewership when the war started.
00:24:30.000When we get big primary elections, then we can see viewership spikes, the Supreme Court rulings, our viewership spikes.
00:24:37.000We had one like three or four weeks ago.
00:24:39.000I can't remember what it was, but we ended up with like 60, I think we had 70,000 concurrent viewers.
00:24:43.000When there's political action, our views are through the roof.
00:24:46.000And we know it because we're a news show.
00:24:49.000Now, what if you're, you know, Tucker and you're watching your views go down or some other, there's a bunch of other podcasters doing this.
00:25:08.000I wonder where those views are from, though, because Americans don't really care all that much.
00:25:13.000I imagine if Americans don't care about politics, you got a big audience with all these other Muslim countries that don't like Jews in Israel.
00:25:22.000But I would also add for this guys, I said it before, I'll say it again.
00:25:27.000I reported in February that there were rumors in the Beltway that.
00:25:31.000There was going to be, like with Tucker and with a bunch of these people, a breakaway coalition that would align left, try and pull Trump derangement moderates from the left.
00:25:42.000So the establishment is worried about socialism.
00:25:45.000They might have even just stolen the election in Wisconsin.
00:26:47.000In the next several months, following the primaries or whatever, probably sooner than that, you are going to see mainstream libs, not like Kyle Kalinske, but like David Pacman say, you know, Tucker Carlson did some bad things, but he's owning up to it.
00:27:00.000And then I actually think there's a decent probability following a Hunter Biden interview that Tucker Carlson becomes a Democrat and actually advocates for moderate, sane Democrats in the 28th cycle.
00:27:11.000Do you think Marjorie Taylor Greene will join him?
00:27:41.000What do you think if he were to go to like, you know, to become a Democrat, right?
00:27:47.000And say, we're the normal Democrats, because everyone knows there's a civil war going on in the Democrat Party right now between the progressives and the.
00:28:13.000We had, I think, two polls now showing that it's nearly four to one when a Democratic socialist is up against a Republican, the Republican wins.
00:28:26.000We pulled this up like three days ago.
00:28:27.000There was one that was published by Washington Post at a poll, and they said that party favorability for Democratic Socialists is like 20%.
00:28:37.000Party favorability for Republicans is like 55%.
00:28:40.000When people are given the option to vote between a Democratic Socialist and a Republican, they vote Republican four to one.
00:28:47.000So, what I see is a strong probability.
00:29:43.000I think they're planning for these contingencies.
00:29:45.000If in 2028, the Democratic Socialists have stolen the gas from the Democratic Party and they're going to win these primaries, they're going to send in their spoilers to pull as many moderates as possible from the Democratic Party to ensure a Rubio Vance ticket.
00:30:00.000So, let's say that Vance and Rubio, because Trumpism right now is not particularly popular.
00:30:16.000But let's say you get a JD Vance who is fairly vanilla pudding, like, you know, but people are going to be like, no, we don't want more of this.
00:30:23.000Let's say that JD Vance can only muster up 43, 44%.
00:30:27.000The Democratic Socialists conquer the Democratic Party, use anti Trumpism to get the plurality.
00:30:33.000That's when you dispatch the Tucker ticket.
00:30:39.000They may be that third party he's talking about.
00:30:42.000It could be a Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Kent ticket.
00:30:44.000But if that pulls 5%, From the Democrats, because there's going to be a bunch of Dems who are like, I hate Trump, but the socialists are crazy.
00:30:56.000I mean, that would be, you know, the best outcome that I could think of, whether it be Vance or Rubio or whoever, whoever the most likely, whoever the conservative or the Republican candidate is, they're probably going to be better than basically anything the Democrats have to offer, including, you know, Tucker Carlson.
00:31:15.000I mean, you went and I went and watched the whole hour and a half of him talking about his point by point thing.
00:31:21.000There's only a handful of things in it that I found that I wasn't particularly interested in.
00:33:06.000I went to the, during Burrito Gate, I went to the Chipotle menu because I don't typically order Chipotle and I looked at a burrito and it was $19.50 on the menu.
00:33:50.000And if you walk down that, if you go from Larchmont and you head east, there's a Mexican restaurant with like dirt, cheap, massive burritos.
00:33:58.000And they do that panini grill thing on them.
00:35:02.000No one, like, honestly, in 10 years, if there's no big economic shocks and wages catch up, people aren't going to think, oh, the $20 burrito is so terrible.
00:35:11.000They're going to be like, well, $20 isn't what it used to be, right?
00:35:18.000Isn't what it was in 2005, but that's because of the inflation that we have.
00:35:23.000And you can lay that directly at the feet of bad policy during COVID, right?
00:35:27.000Like they shouldn't have printed up all that money.
00:35:29.000In fact, to be honest with you, I would even go so far as to say that it was bad policy through the teens, right?
00:35:34.000They shouldn't have kept interest rates at zero just to keep the stock market afloat.
00:35:38.000You know, every time they tried to lower or to raise interest rates, the stock market took a tank and whoever was president, Trump, Obama, didn't matter.
00:36:27.000Basically, the Sharia compliant finance stuff, instead of charging you interest, they just buy the house, then charge you more for the house, and split that into 50 easy installments.
00:37:21.000I'm going to give this, I want to give, you know, if he's going to come out and say he's not a socialist, but the DSA is campaigning for him, I'm going to say it like it is.
00:39:45.000But this children's stuff is like, It's like, this is what Ian sees.
00:39:50.000Like, when I go to get my mail, I go and I grab the letters and I walk upstairs and I'm like, Phil, I think someone sent you fan mail or something.
00:41:22.000I'm going to wear Harry Potter robes and the debate, literally, you know, during the debate, I'm just going to stand there with like in the robes and the wand.
00:41:31.000And then whenever someone says something, I'm going to cast a Harry Potter spell.
00:41:37.000He's going to be like, your tax policy, confund us.
00:41:40.000And then the crowd's going to go, they're all going to be screaming like, Harry Potter.
00:41:44.000And then I'll be like, guys, what he just said, it's what Darth Vader would say.
00:41:49.000And then they're all, like, my point is, this works.
00:42:52.000First thing I did when I saw her lose, I was like, I'm looking up all the primaries now where the Democratic Socialists are favored to win heavy in the polls.
00:43:00.000There's a couple coming up, there's one in Florida.
00:43:02.000And I'm just like, they're all switching now.
00:43:06.000Basically, everyone's like, the polls are wrong, bet against them.
00:43:08.000The polling has been screwed up for years and years.
00:43:25.000So, the argument people are making is that the checking was that they needed to know the exact tally numbers at the end of the night so they knew how many fake bouts to add.
00:45:51.000Personally, I think that it started with, like, you know, President Obama wanted to slow jam the news and, and because, you know, he was kind of the first social media president and stuff.
00:46:08.000I mean, MTV, the MTV generation, the whole Rock the Vote thing, that might have actually been the beginning, so fair enough.
00:46:14.000But then, you know, Barack Obama wanting to do all the appearances on late night TV and stuff.
00:46:20.000Donald Trump being a TV personality before he was even a president obviously turned it up.
00:46:27.000Like, seriously, there's going to be some, you know, like Shawn Michaels is going to run and you're going to have, like, he's going to walk out to do the State of the Union with the Sexy Boy song.
00:48:14.000You'd be like, yeah, you'd be surprised, boys.
00:48:16.000Things went wrong in the 17th century.
00:48:21.000Well, this is one of the arguments some of the more reactionary Democrats make is that they say that Thomas Jefferson anticipated the Constitution being rewritten every couple generations.
00:48:48.000He was right about the founding of this country, and I think he was wrong about religion, and I think he was wrong about the rewriting of the constitution.
00:48:55.000I'm glad some of his ideas didn't get implemented.
00:48:57.000He was wrong about the French Revolution.
00:48:58.000He was very pro French Revolution in the beginning, and then he's like, Whoa, wait a second.
00:49:18.000It would be absurd in 200 years for dead men to be, you know, making the laws for a wholly different people.
00:49:24.000The problem is, Thomas Jefferson's life, the way he lived technologically, was functionally identical to 200 years before.
00:49:35.000The technological advancements were so dramatically minimal.
00:49:38.000Like, they had muskets for hundreds of years, muzzle loading muskets for hundreds of years, and no one thought to rifle or make cartridges until the 1800s.
00:49:49.000To get more people involved in the way that your society is organized, right?
00:49:55.000Just because Jefferson said, oh, you know, we should, you know, you should rewrite the Constitution every 40 years or whatever he said, doesn't mean that, oh, every Tom, Dick, and Harry should be allowed to vote and have a say, and we should have a democracy where every single person gets to vote and that matter and every vote counts.
00:50:12.000That shouldn't be the way that society is organized.
00:50:15.000Like, that's the reason why we have representatives, right?
00:50:19.000That's the reason why the federal government is supposed to be limited because Congress people can't be expected to know.
00:50:27.000To know the ins and outs of every vote that they're taking, the government is supposed to have very few, the federal government is supposed to have very few powers, and then the states are supposed to have more power to affect the daily lives of the people that live in those states.
00:50:43.000And your municipalities are really where you're going to actually have the biggest effect.
00:50:48.000You can go down the street and look for your selectman and yell at him if he passes a bill that you don't like.
00:50:54.000You got a whole lot more chance of affecting your life if you're dealing with your local legislator.
00:50:59.000somehow than if you're dealing with your congressperson who represents however many people they represent.
00:51:22.000There was a shooting in my neighborhood in Chicago recently.
00:51:27.000And it was like, I don't know the story though, because it's only, I'm just hearing it from like friends, but like I got sent a video about the news report from my neighborhood.
00:51:35.000It wasn't, it was right outside of a school.
00:51:38.000So I pop open this video on YouTube and I'm watching and I hear the lady saying, like, you know, the shooting happened and they're showing shots of the streets and the shots of the school.
00:51:45.000And it shows all the locals like standing outside of their houses watching because the squad cars have blocked the road off.
00:51:51.000And this is the neighbor that I'm from.
00:51:56.000I mean, there was like a handful of people.
00:51:58.000It's not like there were 10,000 people in the street, but like people standing on there.
00:52:01.000So like Chicago houses on the south side to give a small lawn.
00:52:06.000And so people are standing on their porches and standing on the sidewalk, and I'm like, it's like seven or eight Indian people in front of the houses.
00:52:15.000I'm just pointing out that my neighborhood where I grew up, this area of Chicago was all Polish and white, I guess, I don't want to say redneck.
00:53:07.000And it's like the point I bring up is one, you know, the demographics are absolutely changing.
00:53:11.000There's a desperation because there's no young people, nobody had kids.
00:53:14.000But also, what does this mean for our constitution?
00:53:17.000If we were to rewrite it every time, oh, bro, we're in for a storm, I'll tell you what.
00:53:23.000Because it doesn't matter if you do or don't rewrite the constitution.
00:53:26.000If we all here are raised on the American tradition and believe in free speech and gun rights, and now we're all going to get a bunch of suppressors for every single gun we own, and we're going to get stocks for our pistols, which I guess technically makes them SBRs according to the ATF, but that won't matter anymore.
00:53:42.000And then, when the police have a problem with it, we say you can't search our stuff and we have a right to confront our accusers.
00:53:48.000What happens when it's not all of us here raised in the American tradition, but two or three of us and then 17 dudes from China who are like, in China, you get arrested first.
00:53:57.000And then you get beaten and told to shut up.
00:54:00.000And then, what happens when we're debating?
00:54:03.000What happens when our Supreme Court in 50 to 70 years has seven justices that are the children of Chinese migrants?
00:54:14.000And they're on the court, and they say the First Amendment clearly doesn't mean you can say anything you want.
00:54:20.000The First Amendment just meant that if you were going to be polite in public and adhere to the party's wishes, you could express your opinion.
00:54:27.000Free speech means you're allowed to agree with us.
00:54:30.000Because what the Founding Fathers really were worried about is that when you wanted to express your dear love for the Little Red Book, they would tell you to be quiet while the leader is speaking.
00:54:38.000What happens when they start doing things like that?
00:54:41.000The right to keep and bear arms meant literal bear arms.
00:54:43.000The Founding Fathers are talking about going hunting.
00:54:45.000And when you hunt a bear, you put his arms in your office.
00:54:48.000And then, when we say that's not what the founding fathers meant, they go, it doesn't matter because we're the Supreme Court and we say it's so.
00:54:54.000The answer for that should be saved for the after show.
00:54:59.000My point is Thomas Jefferson did claim, like, you'll need a new constitution for a new people.
00:55:05.000And I'm like, nah, you have to amend the constitution.
00:56:14.000Yeah, it was a big deal when JFK was elected as the first Catholic because, I mean, you know, he might have allegiance to the Vatican, you know, as opposed to the United States.
00:56:36.000If Islam continues to expand in the United States as it is, and hold on, guys, there are variables.
00:56:43.000I don't know that it will, but if you can envision a 20 or 30% Islamic faction in the United States, I guarantee you, you will get Supreme Court rulings on the question of free speech where they will say things like, you will get.
00:57:00.000I guarantee you this as long as the density of Islam is high enough, a legitimate argument setting precedent on free speech, where the sitting justice Abdul Muhammad Syed says the founding fathers would arrest you for blasphemy.
00:58:24.000And the point I'm making is not that any immediate Supreme Court justices would, but that I guarantee you if you got at least a soft majority of religious Islamists on the Supreme Court, they're going to say the United States has a strong tradition when it was founded.
00:58:41.000The founding fathers' intention on the First Amendment was that blasphemy would not be covered by free speech.
00:58:46.000It is only because of an attempted reinterpretation by progressive groups that this was ever allowed.
00:58:51.000And if the American people want blasphemy to be free speech, you need to amend the Constitution.
00:59:57.000You know what's really funny, though, is like there's a lot of irony and paradoxes within the conservative arguments against Islam and all that stuff.
01:00:05.000I was watching this video on Instagram, and it was a dude who was like out on the street holding a sign saying, Islam is a threat to this country.
01:00:12.000And then two LGBT people were like, that's offensive Islamophobia.
01:01:03.000I was thinking about that with regard to the Mahmood Supreme Court case, which I think, actually, oddly enough, I think Sotomayor was right in her argument that it goes against the West Virginia case from like 18, whatever.
01:01:16.000So West Virginia had this Supreme Court case ages ago.
01:01:20.000I think it was 18 something, whatever.
01:01:30.000And the Jehovah's Witness family was like, no, we don't believe in that.
01:01:33.000And so West Virginia said, okay, then don't come into school.
01:01:37.000And the Jehovah's Witnesses said, we still get to go to school.
01:01:39.000We just don't have to do the Pledge of Allegiance.
01:01:41.000And eventually, what the Supreme Court decided was you can't tell them they can't come to school if they don't want to do the Pledge of Allegiance, but they don't have to do the Pledge, but they do have to sit there through it, right?
01:01:53.000Because you're not free from exposure to ideas that you disagree with.
01:01:59.000And then in the Mahmood ruling with Montgomery County, Maryland, we had a situation where kids were getting like, Weird LGBTQ books read to them.
01:02:10.000And the parents, Mahmood, and like, you know, it was like a coalition, like it was Muslim parents, Christian parents, I don't know, like Jewish parents, some other kind of parents, whatever.
01:02:20.000They all were like, hey, we don't want our kids to have to be subjected to this, which I agree.
01:02:25.000I don't want my kid to be subjected to that trash either.
01:02:27.000And I do want him to say the Pledge of Allegiance, right?
01:02:30.000So in the Mahmood ruling, the Supreme Court said you allow opt outs for other things like sports activities.
01:02:37.000So, you have to allow advance notice opt outs for these things.
01:02:41.000And if you don't allow the opt outs, then it's a violation against the religious liberty rights of these families because it's an undue burden to make them have to, you know, send their kids to religious schools.
01:02:54.000Well, so my question for everybody is should women vote?
01:02:59.000Well, I mean, I think women should vote.
01:03:22.000I mean, if you look at people with, like, for example, intellectual disabilities, like, we can't let somebody who has, like, profound intellectual disabilities vote because they just don't understand what's going on.
01:03:31.000It would be, like, almost inhumane to, like, stand them up in a line and try and make them force them to their conclusions.
01:03:38.000I think if you have any kind of disorder that would, um, Be defined as a perception misaligned with reality, you should be allowed to vote.
01:03:48.000So that would be like all of the people who are like, I'm neurodivergent and that's interesting.
01:04:30.000So the problem, the reason why you shouldn't be allowed to vote is because if I asked you to drive the car and then you ran off in the wrong direction, you know, let's say somebody is dying and I'm like, quick, get in the car and drive it.
01:04:39.000And then they run up and jump on a bike and then slam into a wall.
01:04:42.000You're like, that person shouldn't be dictating how this country functions.
01:04:45.000But blind people could vote, deaf people.
01:09:00.000And I know that does favor libs because they live in cities and they pay more taxes typically, but I'm fine with it because then the people in the cities who have the money are going to be like, I ain't voting for more taxes.
01:09:13.000Look, I'm an agnostic, but I would actually, I think I haven't fleshed this idea out, but.
01:09:20.000The idea of having like a federal government that's based on Christian, the Christian religion that doesn't change, and then your states can vote, just don't have any federal voting.
01:11:01.000Well, listen, we're always going to be subjects to the state.
01:11:03.000And there's no place on earth that I can go where, and Malice talks about this, but there's no place on earth I can go where I'm not going to be a subject of the state and subject to its many abuses.
01:11:32.000My question is at what point in human history ever was there a place you could go that you would be subject to some person claiming, you know, authority?
01:11:42.000In which case, I argue that the claim that there's nowhere you can go has an implication that there perhaps could have been, but not for the existence of the state.
01:11:54.000But in fact, if you go back to any point in human history, no matter where you went, someone claimed authority.
01:12:00.000So you could have been literally in the Western front.
01:12:03.000You know, in the early 1800s, and the U.S. government, the Mexican government, Canadians, Native Americans, someone was going to say, it's ours.
01:12:11.000There was nowhere you could go at any point in history.
01:12:14.000It's just a difference in population density, in which case, go up to the Yukon, you can do whatever you want.
01:12:18.000And the fact that nature abhors a vacuum, like if you don't have some kind of authority, whether we like the idea or not, very few people are going to say, well, you know, actually, we all agree with Chris.
01:12:34.000You're going to go, there's an island in the middle of nowhere, and you're going to be like, this is the one place where I will be free from the authority, right?
01:12:40.000And I imagine you're going to have tools and a gun, and you bring your family, and you build a little house, and you got a little fishing area with some nets.
01:13:22.000Like, I have no problem with that if that's your worldview.
01:13:25.000And I think that's why Christianity is being crushed by Islam.
01:13:28.000Well, because nature abhors a vacuum, and someone that has the opinion of, I'm going to take this, I'm going to make this mine, I'm going to exert my will on the people that don't want to stand up for themselves, that's going to happen.
01:13:44.000I mean, yeah, you're not going to be in a situation where you're not going to encounter violence, but the question is, do you respond to violence with violence and hope that that solves everything?
01:13:52.000Well, it will certainly solve someone not killing your family.
01:14:24.000I mean, people that are truly animated by the Holy Spirit and their love of Christ and their determination to live as He lived do actually affect lots of change.
01:15:43.000Prescriptive is that, descriptive, I'll start with that one, is these things have happened before and they inform us as to the future.
01:15:50.000There are some people who believe that Revelation was actually a description of historical events and it was essentially a warning of these, this is what happened to us.
01:15:57.000And this is why you can't do bad things.
01:15:59.000And the prescriptive is here's what you must do for this to come about.
01:16:04.000There are many people, and this has to do with the red heifer, the Temple Mount, everything that's going on in Israel, because a lot of these people are prescriptivist.
01:16:11.000They believe that they must take the actions of Revelation in order for the Messiah to come.
01:16:16.000And there are Jews who believe this, and there are Christians who believe this.
01:16:19.000I would simply argue that God helps those who help themselves.
01:16:23.000And the people, or you, if your argument is, I will sit back and be a martyr because the book will end another way.
01:16:32.000Nope, you'll get crushed and wiped out.
01:16:34.000Well, you're talking about an extreme scenario, obviously, but there is.
01:16:40.000And I also think that there's something to be said for, given the Quaker perspective, right?
01:16:44.000I had this, I went to a Quaker school and one of my friends was Quaker.
01:16:48.000And we talked about this, this whole pacifism thing, you know, like if somebody's coming at you, you let them kill you because that's the pacifist way to go.
01:16:57.000And he turned it around and he said, why is their life more valuable than mine?
01:17:02.000You know, like, why is anybody's life more valuable than mine if my life is not more valuable than others?
01:17:09.000So, so you participate in the cycle of violence.
01:17:11.000Well, or you know, if it's a choice between killing you and someone else, why not just let them kill someone else?
01:19:02.000You can do the helmet hair, but not the actual.
01:19:05.000There was one of Ted Cruz's kids trying to put a hat on his head, and he was like, No, Why?
01:19:13.000People were like, Whoa, whoa, that's weird.
01:19:14.000But then someone pointed out, Look, ever since Michael Dukakis was wearing that helmet in the tank, I think he actually had the chin strap.
01:20:16.000What were we talking about before I got religious?
01:20:17.000We were talking about being on an island.
01:20:19.000Oh, you were saying there's nowhere you can go where you wouldn't be subject.
01:20:21.000You had another point that you didn't finish, though, because I interrupted you.
01:20:25.000My arguments are basically they trace back to Tolstoy.
01:20:27.000He's kind of considered to be the cornerstone for anarcho Christian thought.
01:20:31.000And in his book, The Kingdom of God is Within You, he crystallizes what that looks like, but from both a Christian perspective and a negation of the state and rejection.
01:20:40.000It kind of sounds like something a Muslim wrote to trick Christians.
01:20:44.000Like, did you know that to be a good Christian, you should not fight me when I kill your family?
01:20:55.000There's a lot of ambiguity in the Bible, but Jesus' directive to turn the other cheek, somebody tries to take your shirt, give them your coat too, those are not ambiguous.
01:22:25.000I know, but we're talking about worldwide events.
01:22:28.000I mean, just locally, locally, if one can apply these principles to their daily life and their day to day interactions with people in their community and their family, then I think you would see a massive change.
01:22:37.000I think this message has more to do with, like, if your neighbor came to you and said, I need this, you'd share it with them.
01:22:45.000I don't think it means that when the barbarians are at the gates, you go, All right, everybody, lay down.
01:22:49.000They're going to rape and kidnap our women and children, and then the men are all dead.
01:24:14.000This is like it's like Ukraine, basically.
01:24:16.000They're basically preparing for war against Islamic invaders and people who, you know, use tactics that are kind of unknown to us here in the West.
01:24:27.000They're operating actively in this kind of like guerrilla warfare.
01:24:30.000Obviously, it's wound down, but over the last few years, they have way more experience than we do in this kind of like tight knit urban environment, fighting people who have no problems killing.
01:24:44.000There's a couple million GWAT vets that have spent the better part of the last 20 years fighting, whether it be in Iraq or Afghanistan.
01:24:53.000So I don't disagree with you about there's plenty of.
01:24:57.000You know, Jews that have been fighting, whether it be Hamas or Hezbollah or what have you, but like the idea that there's not a lot of Americans.
01:25:08.000We've got an entire generation of young men that grew up in combat.
01:25:18.000There are more people in America that have experienced combat now between, even though the boomers are old, the Vietnam vets and Gulf War I and then Iraq and Afghanistan.
01:25:30.000There are a lot of combat vets in the United States.
01:26:11.000There's probably Christians in the IDF.
01:26:13.000Yeah, I mean, I imagine there are fewer.
01:26:16.000But, you know, if you're making the argument, look, it's better for the Israelis to control Jerusalem than for, you know, Hamas to control Jerusalem, you know, when it comes to Christians at least, it would be better for, you know, Israelis to control Jerusalem than Hamas.
01:26:32.000I think that that is probably the obvious.
01:26:35.000The DSA has the DSA's plan is to make the whole thing Palestine with Jerusalem at the center.
01:26:40.000Their plan is to die because the Muslims are just going to kill them.
01:26:43.000I mean, you know, Hamas leaders have said that they're just.
01:26:49.000All you have to do is look at the Iranian revolution.
01:26:51.000So, you're not saying it's going to be a free secular state with equal rights for all, where everybody can be gay and trans openly and Muslim?
01:26:59.000You know, something tells me that's not going to be the reality.
01:27:05.000I've said this before, and this is kind of like a meme for a while, but conservatives need to just fully embrace the Islam thing for a while.
01:27:23.000And then they're going to be like, maybe we don't like this.
01:27:26.000I mean, in terms of like the, from what I understand, which is of course limited and based on one of our writers who used to write for us at Human Events, Madeline Martin, may she rest in peace.
01:27:37.000But she was working on a piece that she ran and it was about how there are different stages of jihad.
01:27:43.000And one of the first stages is about how if you are Muslims and you are minorities in the culture where you are, you know, make friends with the For lack of a better word, Gentiles don't bring them into your heart.
01:27:56.000And it's a slow takeover of the society.
01:28:01.000Let me ask for the Christians in the room.
01:28:03.000Obviously, you don't agree with the general, like, what's the right, like, spiritual overarching belief system.
01:28:12.000So it's like you believe in a different God.
01:28:15.000Of the political system that is Sharia and Islamic law, what don't you like about it?
01:28:20.000I don't like the treatment of women, the eradication of education.
01:28:24.000Uh, for women specifically, I don't like the notion of jihad or the thing where you, um, you know, what the when you're allowed to lie to, yeah, I don't like that.
01:28:35.000That's part of the whole jihad thing, yeah.
01:28:37.000I don't like the uh, forcing people to convert or making them pay a tax.
01:31:33.000I'll throw this out there to the chatters if you want to throw in some super chats.
01:31:37.000I'm genuinely asking of the political system, throw in your concerns and criticisms of it.
01:31:42.000The reason I bring that up is because.
01:31:45.000The thing they promote that you'll see a lot of Muslims promote about Sharia law are the things that conservatives do like.
01:31:51.000Like, no crime is like the easy example.
01:31:54.000So, I'm interested in the finer arguments of why don't they like it.
01:31:57.000I wonder would conservatives like chopping off hands for stealing?
01:32:02.000Well, my whole thing is like in the United States, our ethos is that we trade safety for liberty.
01:32:07.000And so, we're willing to accept a slightly less safe society, and let's say the case of gun rights.
01:32:12.000So, are we willing to go all the way and make our society super safe?
01:32:16.000By enforcing these like extremely harsh consequences on it, I don't think our society is that way.
01:32:21.000I think the fact that every year the surveillance state expands and new laws are put on the books, we give up our liberty every single day.
01:32:49.000But we had someone that was in here yesterday arguing for them, saying, look, you can find missing kids, you can find people that have actually committed crimes faster, et cetera.
01:32:57.000And while he was making good points, I still don't, I am not convinced by the argument for clock cameras.
01:33:04.000But at the same time, I'm walking around with a microphone and a camera that could be turned on at any time.
01:33:11.000And I would have no idea that someone just has to know how to actually access it.
01:33:17.000The vast majority, I think 95% of Americans have a smartphone nowadays.
01:33:22.000So the idea that Americans are actually really concerned about their privacy or they're really concerned about, you know, Being anonymous and stuff like that, they're not.
01:33:32.000And you can tell they're not because they have these tools.
01:33:35.000You can opt out if you want to, right?
01:33:39.000You can say, I don't need a cell phone, or I don't go out of the house with a cell phone.
01:33:44.000I think it's probably pretty hard to find landlines now, but you could have a cell phone and just leave it at home.
01:33:50.000And when you go out and leave, you can have an old vehicle that doesn't have computer chips in it.
01:33:55.000Now, obviously, this is not an easy thing.
01:33:57.000You can print out your MapQuest because you can't even buy a map at the gas station anymore.
01:35:41.000Oh, and so we just put the phone down and then walk away, and then the phone would ring, and some guy would like, Hello, and there's like nothing there.
01:35:50.000It's like the most, it's like the stupidest prank imaginable because it literally did nothing, and we didn't even know what it was or why it was.
01:35:55.000We used to, I used to do the thing where I'd call my family collect, and they would pick up the phone.
01:36:01.000Oh, yeah, and the message would like it would say, Say your name after the beep, and it would be like, This is Libby, I'll be home with Jelly.
01:37:21.000Like my parents and like the Gen X people and the older people were like, Nobody was talking about how the 80s were technologically better.
01:39:13.000But for the most part, you couldn't really stop, sit down, load the app, and then, like, you didn't do it.
01:39:19.000So what would happen is I'd go out, I had a moped, and I'd go ride to my friend's house, and then I'd be like, knock on the door, not there, eh, try calling him, where are you at?
01:40:24.000And it's like people in suits, and there's a bar, and there's like hors d'oeuvres, and everyone just talks.
01:40:28.000And the music's really loud, and you can't really talk.
01:40:31.000Parties when you're like 20, it's like you walk into someone's house, and there's someone doing a keg stand, and everyone's just jumping in the floors, moving up and down with you, and you're just pumping kegger into your red cup, playing flip, flip, flip You know what I'm talking about?
01:45:37.000At the time, there were people that I remember this one dude was like, I got this really great idea I want to do, but I don't know how to do it.
01:45:44.000And I was like, Why don't you just ask Shane?
01:46:52.000So he changed chasing after this and he smashed the multi billion dollar brand in desperation to look good to corporate interests who didn't understand the space.
01:47:03.000And Mitchell said, and Joe Rogan and Portnoy and Travis, they stayed true and sold and cashed out.
01:47:09.000But anyway, my point is when I worked at Vice, I'd walk into the boss's office, sit down, put my feet up, and be like, what's going on?
01:47:18.000But all these other people at the company were like terrified to talk to the bosses.
01:47:23.000So I'm like, young people got to be more arrogant.
01:47:25.000I mean, maybe it's more confidence than arrogance.
01:47:30.000I think you don't want to be unprofessionally arrogant, but more than confidence, more than confidence.
01:47:37.000Because the thing is, although confidence does sound often like the more professional, like it sounds like the professional of arrogance, you gotta be a little.
01:47:52.000If you go up to one of the bosses and you tell him he's a dumb POS, and if I was in charge of this company, we'd have doubled our profit.
01:47:59.000You'd think, yeah, he's gonna be like, you can leave.
01:48:02.000But if you go to the boss and say, listen, with all due respect, I know what I'm talking about, okay?
01:48:27.000But I say this when I worked at Vice, everything we're doing right here, I pitched to the executives.
01:48:31.000Well, and of course, you have to remember too that this is something one of my friends in grad school told me the thing you're doing is better than 95% of the other crap out there.
01:50:55.000But you know, the thing is, I actually had the inverse of that.
01:50:58.000In that there are people who fake it till they make it.
01:51:01.000My thing was that I actually was wrong a lot, but I was just so damn sure of myself.
01:51:06.000The truth is, this show that we have, everything that we did, I pitched directly to the executives of Vice and to Fusion, and they did not do it.
01:51:15.000And I just think, like, I'm so grateful that they had such a myopic view of the media space because if Shane or Eddie or whoever at Vice was like, you know what, Tim, we're going to do your podcasting idea, I wouldn't own this company.
01:51:29.000I would be making, I'd probably be living in a two bedroom bungalow.
01:51:33.000With a very, very small net worth, and they'd be making bank off of my ideas and all the work that I did.
01:55:20.000He's like, so the New York Times and a bunch of outlets copied the story where they're trying to smear.
01:55:25.000All of the people in the space, like, look how down their views are.
01:55:29.000And it's like, he said, that's like saying football viewer, soccer viewership is down following the World Cup.
01:55:34.000Like, we had a presidential election, everybody had massive views.
01:55:38.000Now we're moving into the off cycle, and views go down.
01:55:43.000Where our viewership right now is comparable to where it was in 2022.
01:55:46.000So it's just kind of like, this is what happens.
01:55:48.000However, overall, our viewership is up.
01:55:52.000So Tim Cast IRL, of course, its viewership is down from where it was a year ago.
01:55:56.000It's comparable to where it was four years ago in the off cycle, which I would argue is a little bad because there's always supposed to be a little bit of growth.
01:56:02.000But I do think Trump having a trifecta coming out of the COVID era, we're going to see a little bit of a dip here.
01:56:07.000The expectation is that with a billion dollars being pumped into the midterm elections coming up very soon, you're going to see the algorithms start blasting off a lot of this content.
01:56:14.000What I will say is when live stream viewership goes down, we don't just go, oh no, we've planned for this and reprioritized a bunch of things.
01:56:23.000So our viewership across the board has been massive.
01:56:25.000We've got clips on Facebook now with millions of views.
01:56:29.000So that's just our Facebook's been getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
01:56:32.000And people might say, yeah, but Facebook is, well, look, man, it is what it is.
01:56:41.000So it's like late 30s on Facebook where YouTube is low 30s, early 30s.
01:56:46.000But we're making more and more money across the board.
01:56:48.000Facebook just launched this new creator program where if you have at least a million followers, they guarantee you $3K a month just because.
01:57:32.000Now, a lot of accounts will just quote tweet, generate a lot of engagement, and then they're like, that's not enough.
01:57:38.000You got to do a little bit more than that.
01:57:40.000If they algorithmically prioritize video, then like the amount of like, so what's going to happen is all of the ad revenue for X is being consolidated into a very small group because very few people make.
01:58:40.000I'm just going to say this with all due respect, but Brandon Strzok, his Twitter account turned into an editor just reposting clips from the news.
01:58:49.000And it was like a clip every 10 minutes of just some random news thing.
01:58:56.000Well, not only are they just aggregating, but a lot of times it's just some guy in his mom's basement in Pakistan who's just not even an American.
01:59:02.000There's no original commentary whatsoever.
01:59:04.000And this is another thing, another component of the new thing is that you have to be producing content for the region you're in or something that affects, like.
01:59:37.000Subscribe to Premium, be at least 18, have at least 500 verified followers, have at least 500,000 verified home timeline impressions in the last 90 days, not including replies.
02:00:07.000The following content types are not considered original copied content, minimally modified content, aggregated content, cross platform reposts.
02:00:32.000I'm pretty sure it said something about.
02:00:34.000The content you produce, the revenue generated is based on the region that you're in, which would make sense because otherwise, an Indian guy would be selling ads and an Indian guy's content to Indians.
02:00:53.000The issue is if you're following, if you have a million followers in, you know, Pakistan, why would, you know, an American company want to run those ads?
02:02:14.000Arthur Palmer says turning the other cheek is about forcing the Roman to disrespect you when he strikes you, i.e., if someone is going to hit you, make them mean it.
02:02:24.000I've heard that before too, that there's all these different interpretations.
02:02:27.000The interpretation was that turning to their cheek was basically to insult them, as if to say that this means nothing to me, that you are pathetic, you know?
02:02:35.000Kind of like how tipping is offensive in certain Asian cultures.
02:02:38.000Like giving them money is seen as like an insult.
02:04:10.000They support everything that we're doing at the post millennial and the pod millennial supporting us and Katie Davis Court, Andy No, and all the rest of the gang.
02:04:17.000So if you go check them out, I would really appreciate it.
02:08:48.000So, I mean, you'd have to get the states to ratify it.
02:08:51.000Phil was saying if even one of the justices even mentioned considering potentially reading the Quran, he would call for an armed revolution.
02:09:37.000It'll be like a civil war it was in Syria, and you're going to have regional powers and stuff like that.
02:09:43.000So I suppose it would depend on your locality and the infrastructure your like minded friends have, what kind of preparations you've taken to support that stuff, you know?
02:10:01.000So, I don't know that I can say exactly when, but I mean, you know, if you're walking around your town and there are people looking to, you know, prevent you, prevent your wife from, you know, walking around without something on her head, something has to be done.
02:10:25.000Well, I think you should shoot people in that case.
02:10:31.000The, they're the, yeah, like it doesn't have to be like stand up fights and, and, and like, look, the way that, the way that, what about those taser gloves that ISIS, no, no, no, what I'm, no, no, I'm talking about if it's violence, like, you look at the, right?
02:10:48.000Look at the way that ISIS took over in Iraq, right?
02:10:51.000They got police clothes and then they went around and shot everybody in their sleep.
02:11:15.000I think a lot of these guys joined because on some level they actually believed in the movement.
02:11:19.000You're talking about like the dudes that were like the committed fighters, right?
02:11:23.000They're the ones that were like, we're going to go and do this.
02:11:27.000Once you go and you take out the legal infrastructure, the police or what have you, then everyone else is like, well, shit, I guess those guys are in charge now.
02:14:00.000You would see, like, there would be pro Gaza marches down Fifth Avenue and stuff, and the police would just kind of keep it reined in, but they wouldn't do anything.
02:14:15.000And there's, like, this one street where north of it, all the Jews were selling drugs, and south of it, all the black people were selling drugs.
02:14:21.000So near this block, there were territorial disputes, and you'd see, like, a Hasidic dude walking down the street, and then, like, a black dude would start going like this, and then the Hasidic guy would pull out a gun, and then they'd all run.
02:14:30.000It was like, Outside my house, you know?
02:15:12.000And it's like they're only meter maids.
02:15:14.000They don't really have much power yet, but like you keep hiring people of a certain religion or ethnicity or nationality and then you eventually get promoted.
02:15:22.000Because what you're talking about is exactly what happened how woke took over.
02:15:27.000You know, woke took over basically corporate America.
02:15:29.000People in HR were like, well, this guy had.
02:15:33.000This guy said something that was off, and so we have to make an example of him.
02:15:38.000And then the guy that replaced the guy that said something off, or the person that replaced the guy, that person was aligned with the ideology.
02:15:45.000But again, this is why I said, you know, it all depends on where you are.
02:15:49.000It wouldn't be like a national kind of thing.
02:15:51.000It would be, all right, that's not happening here, you know, and it would be smaller places where that kind of thing could be done.
02:16:00.000But you're also, I'm also talking about like this is something that would be, you know, Considerably more than just, oh, there's an enclave in this city.
02:16:09.000You know, it would have to be like, okay, they're starting to exert a type of theocratic domination on them.
02:16:34.000So, I mean, look, man, you know, You're talking about, you know, anytime you're talking about things getting kinetic, like getting into actual violence or whatever, or people defending themselves or whatever, you're always running the risk of getting, you know, brought up on charges.
02:16:54.000You think the guys that, you know, rolled into, like I said, using Iraq when ISIS came in, you think that they didn't think that they might die doing it?
02:17:02.000Do you think that they didn't have the possibility of what if the Iraqi, you know, security forces are on to us and we have to get into a gunfight?
02:17:11.000And, Like, there's the idea of this kind of stuff happening, and you're just going to waltz in and everything's going to be fine, and you guys are going to win.
02:17:19.000Like, there's, if you're going to stand up for yourself, there is a strong possibility that you're going to get smashed in the face and either thrown in jail or you could get killed.
02:17:52.000Like, this kind of shit has repercussions.
02:17:54.000So, to your point, in what's it called, right?
02:17:57.000Like in New York, like if 100 people were like, okay, we're going to go out there and we're going to fucking stop this, well, you might go to jail.
02:18:17.000And people, like these discussions, very rarely does that kind of come into the equation.
02:18:23.000You know, you could die, you might lose.
02:18:26.000You know, there's a reason why I said, Oh, go to their house at night, right?
02:18:31.000Like going out in the daytime, that's a whole different story, right?
02:18:35.000You know, there's a reason why you know, crime syndicates, you know, they don't do stuff out in public much, you know, they try to keep things as hush hush as possible.
02:18:46.000So, I mean, that's why it's always so shocking when it's like a daylight murder, yeah, yeah, you know, so, so, or a daycare in Minnesota, yeah, right, right, yeah, like the anytime this, like, like I said, anytime this kind of stuff comes up.
02:19:00.000The conversation is always like, it's almost as if, you know, well, how do you do it without getting in trouble?
02:22:05.000And forgive me for not having the exact examples right there.
02:22:09.000I didn't write them down as you said them, but it seems like you're misapplying scripture meant for individuals to use on an everyday basis in personal settings.
02:23:04.000I would argue that there is some guidance in that in the Old Testament in terms of the law.
02:23:09.000And I'm not saying we should be under the law, but what I'm saying is that God never changes.
02:23:15.000So the principles, his general approach to various sins or whatever, right, would be the same then as it was now, even if he doesn't have us as Christians under the law.
02:23:31.000Well, the law was a shadow that preceded Christ.
02:23:43.000Well, so I would ask, okay, about the.
02:23:49.000Some people mentioned, you know, if someone's attacking your family, would you, you know, violently stop them or whatever, right?
02:23:57.000And I would argue that it is right to violently stop them under the circumstances that we are as Christians.
02:24:07.000To be good stewards of all that is under our care, that including spouse, kids, parents, et cetera, and extending out to neighborhood and local, city, state, nation, even.
02:25:21.000And turning the other cheek was basically saying, Okay, now you have to slap me with the palm of your hand, which is essentially saying we're on the same level.
02:25:28.000I'm not, I can no longer denigrate you.
02:28:40.000He was saying that there are certain trips in the DC area to like landmark areas like the airport where if you pick up a ride, you get a flat fee.
02:28:49.000So I don't know the exact number, but it could be like you're downtown DC, it's a 30 minute ride to the airport.
02:28:53.000And if you choose it, it'll say you'll get paid $30 and nothing else.
02:28:56.000And it's like, whoa, like, what if the trip is long?
02:29:23.000And you're going to get on your X app, ride order, and a golden Tesla is going to pull up and you're going to jump right in and take it where you want to go with no driver.
02:32:43.000It's not erasing the essential core developers, it's getting rid of the low level stuff.
02:32:49.000All of this was predicted two years ago where this guy, there's a great documentary where he's got a pyramid and he's like, the first thing to go is going to be the low skill assistants on creative works.
02:33:59.000If you are really smart, and I wish I was smart enough, you'd be like, if I start a company right now that does things, I'll be a billionaire in 20 years because.
02:34:10.000Lack of people, automation of jobs is going to result in a high demand for these things.
02:34:14.000If you can figure out what the future we can all see, what demands will be of that society, start today.
02:34:20.000You're a billionaire in five, 10 years.
02:37:04.000I'm literally sitting with Seamus a few weeks ago saying, Seamus, what you need to do is buy 50 Optimus bots and lease them out to companies at $10 per hour because it's cheaper than the cost of a human worker.
02:37:16.000They're going to spend $15, $20 on the person.
02:37:18.000They're going to spend $10 on the robot.
02:37:19.000Best part is, robot never takes time off.
02:37:21.000It's there when you get there, it's there when you leave, it's there when no one's there.
02:37:25.000And if it breaks down, we will be there in 15 minutes to swap it out with the new one and we'll deal with the replacement.
02:37:32.000Subscription service, we're making bank.
02:41:34.000The company commandeered the car, I guess.
02:41:36.000Because what was happening was it would turn left and then the GPS would update and they would turn left again and then go back around and it kept updating.
02:41:43.000Luke said he was in the car and it kept going, like it kept going on the highway, exiting and then like looping around because the GPS kept fucking up.
02:41:50.000I'm pretty sure there's like a call center in the Philippines where guys have just like Xbox controllers and worst case, I'm serious.
02:42:25.000He's a fellow Marine and has a company called Frontier Resolve.
02:42:30.000He sells like adventure gear equipment.
02:42:34.000Specifically, he's got a modular pack frame that you can put into any pack that has a As a needs a frame, um, his uh, his website is uh, frontier resolve.com.
02:42:47.000If anybody's interested, go check him out, support a veteran owned company.
02:42:51.000Um, and Phil, if you ever do a show in Billings, Montana, okay, you should stop on by before you leave, and I can teach you how to sword fight or how to knife and tomahawk fight if you want.
02:44:25.000So, you know, it's kind of fucked everything up.
02:44:28.000Yeah, I think that even though people that are, that consider themselves secular, agnostic, atheist, in the West, they base their morality on Christianity.
02:44:43.000So I think that a society without a religion is doomed.
02:44:51.000I think that's part of the reason why you saw such terrible results in.
02:44:59.000And I think that if you don't have, you know, in our case, if you don't have a Christian foundation or if you didn't have the Christian foundation, you know, you wouldn't have the society that we have.
02:45:14.000So I do think that, like, even though I consider myself agnostic, I would much rather live in a Christian society than any other society that I've seen.
02:45:24.000If I was Japanese, I think that I'd probably be partial to Japan, but I'm not.
02:45:28.000You know, it's a Japanese society, but I'm not Japanese.
02:45:30.000So, um, so yeah, I think that a revival, a real revival of Christianity in the U.S. would be good, um, for most Americans, the vast majority of Americans.
02:45:45.000Um, but I don't think you can force it.
02:45:57.000Um, I think that a secular, like, Legally secular, but religiously underpinned society is probably like my preference.
02:46:07.000And, you know, now that I think about it, you know, I'm also agnostic, atheist.
02:46:10.000I would pretty much never live in a society that isn't a Christian society.
02:46:15.000Like, I can't think of a single place I'd live in that wasn't kind of operating under that Christian ethos.
02:46:20.000And so, if I had it my way, it would be legally secular, do what you want, but kind of everyone operates under the, I guess, principles outlined in the Bible.
