00:02:40.000 So, the WNBA had their emergency meeting where they couldn't conclude what a woman was.
00:02:46.000 They said, you know, there are no eligibility issues.
00:02:49.000 So, we don't take kindly to these bad faith attempts to besmirch the league because it's all they could do.
00:02:57.000 And, you know, this is exactly what we predicted.
00:02:59.000 They weren't going to be able to come out with a definition of woman because these are the games they want to play.
00:03:04.000 Now, the next step.
00:03:05.000 I predict they're not going to entertain the draft paperwork for Ennis Cantor and Royce White.
00:03:12.000 I hope Addison Royce sues citing discrimination if they are ignored because they formally submitted, so they can't be ignored.
00:03:21.000 So, we're going to talk about that.
00:03:22.000 We got a bunch of crazy stories that we're going to go through.
00:03:25.000 Admittedly, guys, it's one of those news days.
00:03:27.000 The big news everyone's talking about is like Trump's names in the Kennedy Center again.
00:03:31.000 And I'm like, yeah, okay, I guess.
00:03:32.000 And then all the big news networks, they're just leading with stories from earlier in the week.
00:03:37.000 So, we do have a bunch of stories that are interesting, some smaller.
00:03:39.000 We released our new video game on Timcast.com, it is The Legend of Hassan.
00:03:45.000 Where Hassan must face down wave after wave of his own dog using his electrical powers to put them in line.
00:03:51.000 That's fun.
00:03:52.000 But then we've got Tucker Carlson's Hunter Biden interview, which people have discussed, where Tucker says Israel made him smear Hunter Biden.
00:04:00.000 And then we've got Minnesota.
00:04:02.000 They are planning on an 11% tax hike, property tax hike.
00:04:06.000 It's getting pretty crazy out there.
00:04:07.000 And then we'll just talk about what's going on in the news.
00:04:08.000 You know what I mean?
00:04:09.000 We 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.
00:04:18.000 So, people are rightfully freaking out about that.
00:04:21.000 We'll talk about that and a lot more before we do, my friends.

00:06:53.000 I'm Phil.
00:06:53.000 What's up, Carter?
00:06:54.000 Everyone knows who I am.
00:06:55.000 I'm Carter.
00:06:56.000 So let's get into it.
00:06:57.000 We got a full stack tonight.
00:06:59.000 I love how all of the news outs are handling this story.
00:06:59.000 Let's go.
00:07:02.000 ABC7 says WNBA denounces bad faith transgender debate and says league has no eligibility issues.
00:07:10.000 I think that's transphobic.
00:07:11.000 That's such a transphobic headline.
00:07:13.000 It's unbelievable.
00:07:14.000 Well, 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.
00:07:21.000 They're basically saying this is the double edged sword of the whole DEI trans stuff.
00:07:26.000 Actually, quite simple.
00:07:27.000 If you're allowed to insult one, you're allowed to insult all.
00:07:31.000 And if you're going to argue that Royce White is lying, then I can argue that, you know, give me a name of somebody.
00:07:37.000 Who's that congressperson?
00:07:39.000 Sarah McBride.
00:07:40.000 Lying.
00:07:41.000 Bad faith effort.
00:07:41.000 Tremaine McBride.
00:07:42.000 Sarah McBride is a liar, faking it for brownie points among the Democrats.
00:07:47.000 That proves it.
00:07:48.000 Tremaine Carroll, the California alleged racist who's trying to go into a woman's prison.
00:07:48.000 Yeah.
00:07:53.000 Well, that one might be fake, right?
00:07:55.000 I think.
00:07:56.000 Are they all fake?
00:07:58.000 I think that's really the point here.
00:07:59.000 All of it is bad faith.
00:07:59.000 That's the point.
00:08:02.000 We live in a society in which we can accommodate people.
00:08:07.000 Well, we have the choice to accommodate people.
00:08:10.000 Some people are going to say, no, I reject the fact that you're presenting yourself as a woman and I know you're a man.
00:08:16.000 Some people are not and they're going to use the preferred pronouns.
00:08:20.000 But that's an individual choice.
00:08:23.000 These people making demands for access to gender, and I don't even like to use the word gender because I don't believe gender is a thing.
00:08:30.000 I think it's just sex.
00:08:31.000 But women's spaces, right?
00:08:33.000 Like 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?
00:08:48.000 And again, we say this kind of stuff all the time, but there is no other disorder that people have.
00:08:53.000 Where we entertain the disorder.
00:08:55.000 Right.
00:08:56.000 If someone says, my arm is not my arm, we don't say, well, that bad boy's got to go.
00:09:00.000 Right.
00:09:01.000 Like, we just don't do that.
00:09:02.000 Well, there is a doctor in the UK who did do that.
00:09:05.000 He said that he had some kind of dysphoria and he was actually meant to be disabled.
00:09:11.000 So he went through this whole thing and had his leg removed.
00:09:15.000 Yeah.
00:09:16.000 That's crazy.
00:09:17.000 Well, it's all crazy.
00:09:18.000 And 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.
00:09:27.000 If you're schizophrenic, you don't say, you know what, the voices are probably right.
00:09:32.000 You just don't do that.
00:09:34.000 In 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.
00:09:45.000 That doesn't happen.
00:09:47.000 So the fact that we entertain this stuff, it's all bad faith.
00:09:50.000 Well, the real bad faith, though, I think, is on the part of the WNBA who all of a sudden.
00:09:56.000 Does not recognize gender self ID after decades of us hearing that gender self ID is the way to go.
00:10:03.000 That 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.
00:10:14.000 So, 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.
00:10:28.000 He too, he, she too is eligible for the WNBA draft.
00:10:32.000 Telling 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.
00:10:43.000 And I think that it is, this is the perfect thing that happened that these men came out.
00:10:47.000 God bless them.
00:10:48.000 And basically, women, these women came out.
00:10:50.000 Yes, well, first with this massive dong.
00:10:53.000 I'm glad they're living their truth.
00:10:54.000 They're living their truth.
00:10:55.000 You know what I mean?
00:10:56.000 And 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.
00:11:04.000 And it's like, you know what?
00:11:06.000 We 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.
00:11:19.000 The ACLU has told us.
00:11:21.000 We don't even get to know how many, right?
00:11:24.000 There's one guy in California who literally murdered a bunch of children and is now in prison with those children's mother, right?
00:11:34.000 Same prison.
00:11:35.000 I think the cult has abandoned these people.
00:11:37.000 Has abandoned who?
00:11:39.000 The trans stuff.
00:11:40.000 The trans.
00:11:40.000 I think.
00:11:41.000 Look at AOC.
00:11:41.000 She's like, woke one was crazy.
00:11:43.000 And it's, I think the cult is the cult.
00:11:45.000 The cult doesn't care what they're attached to.
00:11:48.000 Their activism, their logic makes no sense.
00:11:50.000 Well, we're a couple of things past trans at this point, right?
00:11:53.000 Because it was BLM, then trans, then Palestine, like pro Gaza.
00:11:59.000 This is why it's all Israel right now.
00:12:00.000 Right.
00:12:01.000 And now we're at ICE.
00:12:02.000 So we're like two things past trans.
00:12:05.000 I think if you look at the left wing channels, they're not talking about trans stuff anymore.
00:12:08.000 They don't care.
00:12:08.000 They don't want it.
00:12:10.000 Yeah, no, they're like, we lost.
00:12:11.000 So they're like, Israel.
00:12:12.000 And then you get Tucker and a bunch of other people being like, Israel.
00:12:15.000 And now they've got their coalition.
00:12:16.000 And now it's a nice thing, too.
00:12:17.000 I'm going to say this.
00:12:20.000 Seeing this stuff from Tucker, I would not be surprised if in two years Tucker is a Democrat.
00:12:28.000 Because look at the stuff he's advocating for on his show.
00:12:30.000 It's prices are too high, and this country is not about capitalism.
00:12:34.000 This is unfair.
00:12:35.000 And Israel, he may as well be Anna Kasparian at this point.
00:12:40.000 I'm not even kidding.
00:12:40.000 The thing, too, though, is like, All of these people identify problems, but that does not mean that they know what the solutions are.
00:12:47.000 You know, sure, prices, yes, prices are too high.
00:12:50.000 I think that's true too, but that doesn't mean government controls and price controls are the answer.
00:12:56.000 I don't think Tucker believes in anything.
00:12:57.000 I think he just tells his audience what they want to hear exactly.
00:13:00.000 Yeah, of course.
00:13:01.000 He's making way more money now than he did when he was at Fox News.
00:13:01.000 He's just a grifter.
00:13:04.000 You know, that's crazy.
00:13:05.000 Wait.
00:13:06.000 And it's not all just on the little nicotine things?
00:13:09.000 Well, I mean, he's.
00:13:10.000 So 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.
00:13:16.000 Stuff.
00:13:17.000 And I just, you know what I really love about the nicotine is how anti conservative these products are.
00:13:22.000 Selling addictive degeneracy to conservatives.
00:13:24.000 Like, look, look, look, I'm being a dick.
00:13:26.000 I really don't care if you, what's his company called?
00:13:28.000 Alp.
00:13:29.000 Those are his?
00:13:29.000 Yeah, those are his.
00:13:30.000 I see them on the TV.
00:13:31.000 Yeah, I see them in the show.
00:13:32.000 I don't care if it's better than smoking.
00:13:33.000 And I don't care if you want to do drugs.
00:13:34.000 I'm fairly libertarian in that regard.
00:13:36.000 I'm not a conservative, you know?
00:13:37.000 But it's funny that you've got people who are like, we've got a problem with degeneracy in this country.
00:13:41.000 And then, you know, he's all like, you want some drugs?
00:13:44.000 And they're like, yeah.
00:13:45.000 Depends on the drug, but yeah.
00:13:46.000 Well, he's all for freedom, but he'll be Putin's lapdog, you know.
00:13:49.000 Just shit with Russia.
00:13:51.000 Yeah, I just want to make one point.
00:13:53.000 Nicotine patches or the Zins and stuff like that, they're not better than smoking.
00:13:58.000 Oh, they're not?
00:13:59.000 Smoking rules, dude.
00:14:00.000 Terrible for you.
00:14:02.000 It messes your lungs up, bro.
00:14:04.000 Look, man, when they come out with the cigarettes that give you vitamins and minerals, I am back on it, man.
00:14:10.000 Sorry for hitting the table.
00:14:12.000 That's all right.
00:14:13.000 But yeah, look, Tucker is.
00:14:18.000 He's got to be just going for the money, right?
00:14:21.000 It's fairly clear.
00:14:23.000 He kind of seems like he wants back in the fold.
00:14:27.000 How do you say that?
00:14:27.000 What makes you say that?
00:14:29.000 Oh, he's budding up with Hunter Biden?
00:14:31.000 It'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.
00:14:42.000 Do you think this is a play for the Democratic establishment people?
00:14:45.000 No, I think he's just, you know, wants his friends back.
00:14:49.000 Back to CNN, maybe?
00:14:50.000 Yeah, 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.
00:14:58.000 It is weird because I watched like half of that Tucker interview with Hunter Biden and I. Couldn't watch the rest of it.
00:15:03.000 He was kind of like insufferable.
00:15:05.000 It's the best way I can describe it.
00:15:06.000 Did you see what Seamus did for Freedom Tunes?
00:15:08.000 But he did say that, like, he grew up on the same street as Hunter, something like that.
00:15:12.000 They were like, we grew up in the same town.
00:15:14.000 Yeah, right.
00:15:15.000 Right.
00:15:15.000 Actually, we knew a lot of the same people.
00:15:19.000 Yeah, I thought that was all very weird.
00:15:21.000 Yeah.
00:15:23.000 I mean, look, why he sat down with Hunter Biden, I mean, I don't know.
00:15:29.000 Maybe the Biden, maybe Hunter paid him to sit down and give him a.
00:15:33.000 A softball interview because Hunter's looking to run or.
00:15:37.000 But the Bidens are broke, haven't you heard?
00:15:40.000 I doubt it.
00:15:42.000 That's what they're saying.
00:15:43.000 Yeah, well, they made a lot of money in Ukraine, if I understand correctly.
00:15:46.000 So, 80,000 a month for a while.
00:15:49.000 I mean, that's nothing to sneeze at.
00:15:52.000 But 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?
00:16:02.000 Like, it's just not going to happen.
00:16:05.000 And I do think that the trans stuff is over.
00:16:07.000 I think that that was the thing that killed, that really took the steam out of the left and the whole woke movement.
00:16:14.000 The 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.
00:16:29.000 Maybe the police are too aggressive.
00:16:31.000 Maybe that's actually true.
00:16:33.000 Maybe 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.
00:16:40.000 And then the whole LGBT stuff, you hear trans people saying, well, you know, if you don't S my D, you're a bigot.
00:16:46.000 Dudes are like, whoa, hold on here.
00:16:49.000 You know, because that wasn't, it wasn't very long until that was going to become a thing.
00:16:54.000 There were already a lot of trans people that were making those remarks.
00:16:57.000 There's still trans people on trans women on the internet that say, look, if you won't date a trans woman, you're a bigot.
00:17:04.000 And dudes are like, I do not care.
00:17:06.000 Call me a bigot.
00:17:08.000 What did they say?
00:17:09.000 Or no, no, the girl penis.
00:17:11.000 Like, come on, come on.
00:17:13.000 Ballad shaped object.
00:17:15.000 Yeah.
00:17:15.000 You know, that's.
00:17:16.000 They were talking about the cotton ceiling.
00:17:18.000 You know, the lesbians that would not date a trans woman.
00:17:21.000 Oh, yeah, that's another thing.
00:17:22.000 Yeah.
00:17:22.000 I mean, they pissed everybody off.
00:17:24.000 What does that mean?
00:17:25.000 You know, panties, basically.
00:17:28.000 Like, underwear.
00:17:30.000 That's so weird.
00:17:30.000 Cotton ceiling.
00:17:31.000 So I want to jump to this next story, but I got to make an announcement.
00:17:33.000 So for those that saw, I tweeted out at 738 that the Legend of Hassan video game is available at timcast.com to play it.
00:17:42.000 Go to read in the top bar, or just click the link in my ex post.
00:17:47.000 And you can play The Legend of Hassan in the long ago of seven months ago.
00:17:51.000 Hassan faced down wave after wave of his own dog, using the power of electrocution to get them to fall in line.
00:17:56.000 This is your quest.
00:17:57.000 You are Hassan.
00:17:58.000 The power is yours.
00:18:00.000 And I do have to most ever driven off 2400.
00:18:05.000 Is that it?
00:18:06.000 So here's the game.
00:18:07.000 You know, it's a side scrolling arcade shooter where all these dogs.
00:18:12.000 Or, you know, wave after wave of your own dog are coming up.
00:18:15.000 You can earn experience points and then level up and choose.
00:18:18.000 I'm gonna go with quick fire.
00:18:19.000 There we go.
00:18:20.000 So I can electrocute my dog faster.
00:18:22.000 And 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.
00:18:31.000 There are a bunch of Easter eggs.
00:18:33.000 So, this was a joke that I made in three minutes on Claude.
00:18:36.000 So, I'll just tell you all the jokes.
00:18:37.000 Once your viewer count gets to zero, it switches to kick and your viewer count starts going up.
00:18:42.000 Because on kick, they want you to electrocute the dog.
00:18:45.000 And then I do have to announce that we have a winner.
00:18:48.000 I said that I would pay one person $100 for winning.
00:18:54.000 And I did not think it would happen this fast, but it did.
00:18:58.000 And we got a winner here.
00:19:00.000 I believe his name is Neil Williams.
00:19:02.000 He said, Don't hurt the dogs.
00:19:04.000 And indeed.
00:19:05.000 In fact, if in the game, let's refresh it.
00:19:09.000 If you don't electrocute your dog, they won't bite you.
00:19:14.000 That's it.
00:19:15.000 It's an important lesson for everybody.
00:19:17.000 Oh, wow, there.
00:19:18.000 Don't electrocute your dog.
00:19:19.000 So I sent Neil $100, and it says, Congratulations, you didn't electrocute your dog.
00:19:26.000 You win.
00:19:27.000 After three waves of not electrocuting your dog, you win the game.
00:19:30.000 So that's it.
00:19:30.000 That's the joke.
00:19:33.000 It's pretty hilarious that you can make games in three minutes and put it on your website that quickly.
00:19:37.000 Let's jump to the next story, though.
00:19:38.000 We got this one from Middle East Eye.
00:19:41.000 Tucker Carlson says Israel pushed him to report false allegations against Hunter Biden.
00:19:46.000 Former U.S. President Sun says Netanyahu Operations Center was involved in disseminating alleged drugs and sex leaks.
00:19:54.000 The 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.
00:19:59.000 I'm just telling you that they came to me with it and that's how I know it.
00:20:04.000 Everything's fake.
00:20:05.000 I mean, bro, this is not true.
00:20:07.000 Okay.
00:20:09.000 Guys, I can't tell you how many people came to me and offered the hard drive.
00:20:14.000 How many people offered you as a hard drive?
00:20:15.000 A couple.
00:20:16.000 Yeah.
00:20:17.000 It was everywhere.
00:20:19.000 And Hunter Biden signed off on dropping it off.
00:20:21.000 Now, maybe that's all fabricated, but Hunter didn't even deny it.
00:20:24.000 He was like, I have no recollection of dropping that off.
00:20:27.000 And like, that's a legal answer you give in court when you know you did, but you don't want to perjure yourself.
00:20:33.000 And on the interview, I listened to probably as much of it as Carter did.
00:20:33.000 Right.
00:20:38.000 They got into about how the laptop was probably misinformation from Ukraine.
00:20:46.000 What?
00:20:46.000 Yeah.
00:20:47.000 Yeah.
00:20:47.000 Yeah.
00:20:48.000 The pictures were all misinformation.
00:20:48.000 Yeah.
00:20:51.000 Was it Ukraine?
00:20:52.000 Wasn't it?
00:20:52.000 I don't know.
00:20:53.000 I watched his soccer run, too.
00:20:55.000 But in both of them, he said, like, yeah, it was totally like it came from Rudy Giuliani, made it all up, got it somewhere else.
00:21:02.000 Somebody else dropped it off.
00:21:03.000 Right.
00:21:04.000 But I thought they were, maybe it wasn't Ukraine.
00:21:05.000 Maybe it was Russia.
00:21:06.000 I'm tired, you guys.
00:21:07.000 But I'll defer to you.
00:21:07.000 Sorry.
00:21:08.000 But it was definitely, they were definitely talking about how it was misinformation.
00:21:12.000 And 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.
00:21:22.000 He denied everything.
00:21:22.000 Seamus Coughlin.
00:21:24.000 And he wasn't pressed.
00:21:25.000 I mean, Tucker did not press him.
00:21:27.000 That's the thing.
00:21:27.000 You remember that interview he did with Ted Cruz?
00:21:30.000 Like, you know, he basically held him up against the wall by his neck and his feet were dangling.
00:21:34.000 And in this case, there was nothing.
00:21:36.000 There was no.
00:21:37.000 Pushback, no in depth questioning.
00:21:40.000 It was just like, well, yeah.
00:21:43.000 Let me tell everybody something, right?
00:21:45.000 Right now, on this episode, we have on YouTube 11,375 concurrent viewers.
00:21:52.000 On Rumble, we have about 9,000.
00:21:54.000 That's low.
00:21:55.000 That's low.
00:21:56.000 This time last year, we would have been at 50,000 combined.
00:21:59.000 But you know what?
00:22:00.000 Look, we're in the summer.
00:22:03.000 Election cycle's not yet started.
00:22:05.000 And look, Trump's got a trifecta.
00:22:08.000 There's no great political conflict right now, for the most part.
00:22:12.000 Now, for me, I've run this business for a really long time.
00:22:15.000 Tucker actually is relatively new.
00:22:16.000 How long has Tucker been doing this thing?
00:22:18.000 A couple of years now?
00:22:19.000 Yeah, like a couple of years.
00:22:20.000 It's been a couple of years.
00:22:21.000 I think the thing for Tucker is that, you know, he worked at Fox News for a long time.
00:22:26.000 There's a couple arguments you can make.
00:22:27.000 One, that Fox constrains him.
00:22:29.000 Basically, when he's at Fox, he's like, he's got producers and he says, What do I say?
00:22:34.000 And so, those famous monologues he had, you guys all know that those were written for him.
00:22:39.000 And the dude who wrote it, who does he work for now?
00:22:44.000 Matt Walsh.
00:22:44.000 He works for Matt?
00:22:46.000 Wow.
00:22:47.000 Matt's great monologues.
00:22:48.000 He's killing it.
00:22:48.000 Yeah.
00:22:50.000 So, there were a couple of writers, there was one principal writer.
00:22:53.000 And really talented.
00:22:54.000 Yes.
00:22:55.000 And that was who was writing the monologues for Tucker.
00:22:57.000 Tucker was just a guy to go on TV and sit there and read about it.
00:23:00.000 So, what's going to happen?
00:23:01.000 Well, Tucker does his own show and he's chasing the views.
00:23:05.000 Here's the reality Trump's got a trifecta.
00:23:07.000 He's got Congress.
00:23:08.000 He's got the House.
00:23:09.000 He's got the Senate.
00:23:10.000 So, he's got the legislative branch.
00:23:11.000 He's got the Supreme Court.
00:23:12.000 He's got the executive branch.
00:23:13.000 Not that it's perfect or a strong trifecta, but this means that any issue we face in this country, everyone's pointing at him.
00:23:20.000 Inflation is high.
00:23:21.000 Gas prices are up.
00:23:22.000 Burritos are 20 bucks.
00:23:24.000 Well, Republicans got everything.
00:23:26.000 They're the issue.
00:23:28.000 So, for the most part, regular Americans aren't hyper focused on politics right now because there's no great political battle.
00:23:34.000 You did it, you got Trump, and you're still unhappy.
00:23:36.000 So, people are kind of checking out.
00:23:38.000 Not to mention, there's very few young people.
00:23:41.000 So, if you want to maintain viewership, and we talk about this every political cycle, guys.
00:23:46.000 I was hanging out at Luke Rodkowski's house in 2012 in the winter.
00:23:51.000 Obama's about to get elected.
00:23:53.000 And I was only doing a little bit of YouTube stuff.
00:23:55.000 I wasn't really.
00:23:56.000 I was doing live stream stuff at the time with Ustream.
00:23:58.000 Luke had been on YouTube for at that point six, seven years.
00:24:02.000 And 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.
00:24:12.000 Well, the truth is, you'll get the first 100 days news cycle.
00:24:15.000 And then that tracks basically, you get that first year of what's going to happen next.
00:24:20.000 And with Trump's first year of his second term, there's a lot happening.
00:24:23.000 USAID getting shut down.
00:24:25.000 Now, not a whole lot.
00:24:27.000 I mean, we had big viewership when the war started.
00:24:30.000 When we get big primary elections, then we can see viewership spikes, the Supreme Court rulings, our viewership spikes.
00:24:37.000 We had one like three or four weeks ago.
00:24:39.000 I can't remember what it was, but we ended up with like 60, I think we had 70,000 concurrent viewers.
00:24:43.000 When there's political action, our views are through the roof.
00:24:46.000 And we know it because we're a news show.
00:24:49.000 Now, 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.
00:24:57.000 Well, you make a video about Israel.
00:25:00.000 And then you notice you get a little bit more views.
00:25:03.000 So you make another video about Israel.
00:25:04.000 And eventually you're like, hey, man, we're ragging on Israel.
00:25:06.000 We're getting a lot of views.
00:25:07.000 Doing amazing.
00:25:08.000 I wonder where those views are from, though, because Americans don't really care all that much.
00:25:13.000 I 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.
00:25:18.000 So it's not surprising.
00:25:18.000 Indeed.
00:25:20.000 Maybe Dearborn.
00:25:21.000 That we're seeing things like this.
00:25:22.000 But I would also add for this guys, I said it before, I'll say it again.
00:25:27.000 I reported in February that there were rumors in the Beltway that.
00:25:31.000 There 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.
00:25:42.000 So the establishment is worried about socialism.
00:25:45.000 They might have even just stolen the election in Wisconsin.
00:25:47.000 I don't know.
00:25:49.000 But the pitch was Tulsi Gabbard was going to resign.
00:25:51.000 We were going to see a bunch of people break from Trump to form this, like, anti war, anti Israel, but respectful and not woke anti Trump.
00:26:00.000 The idea was that.
00:26:02.000 A lot of neocons and moderates joined the Democratic Party because they hate Trump.
00:26:06.000 And this empowered socialists and like trans kid stuff.
00:26:11.000 Well, when these elites are like, well, we don't want any of that.
00:26:13.000 That's bad.
00:26:14.000 We're losing because of that.
00:26:15.000 How do we maintain the anti Trump but attract more people?
00:26:21.000 The rumor was that you were going to get this breakaway thing.
00:26:23.000 And people asked me, like, oh, you think like Tucker or Tulsi is going to be a Democrat?
00:26:27.000 And three, four months ago, I was like, I don't know, that seems like a long shot.
00:26:30.000 Not anymore.
00:26:32.000 No.
00:26:32.000 Not with Tucker apologizing to Hunter, saying, you're a good dude and Israel made me do it.
00:26:38.000 Now there's a perfect lineup for the Krasensteins to come out and be like, Tucker may be a bad dude, but he's doing the right thing now.
00:26:46.000 How much do you want to bet?
00:26:47.000 In 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.
00:26:59.000 That's all we ask.
00:27:00.000 And 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.
00:27:11.000 Do you think Marjorie Taylor Greene will join him?
00:27:13.000 Yep.
00:27:14.000 Yeah.
00:27:14.000 Yep.
00:27:14.000 I don't think he's that principled.
00:27:16.000 I mean, I think Tucker's kind of just like a bullied kid.
00:27:18.000 If you remember, he used to wear bow ties.
00:27:20.000 Until he got bullied into not wearing bow ties.
00:27:22.000 I mean, I don't think Tucker really is that.
00:27:24.000 I think he's really just about two things, and that's about being liked and then using that to make money.
00:27:28.000 And maybe going fishing.
00:27:30.000 Maybe.
00:27:31.000 Yeah.
00:27:32.000 Hawking his nicotine pouch.
00:27:33.000 Right.
00:27:33.000 Yeah.
00:27:33.000 That's part of it.
00:27:34.000 You can do that while you're fishing.
00:27:36.000 Film a great ad.
00:27:36.000 Oh, certainly.
00:27:37.000 That's a good ad, actually.
00:27:37.000 Yeah.
00:27:39.000 Does he have one like that?
00:27:40.000 I'm sure he does.
00:27:40.000 He must.
00:27:41.000 Yeah.
00:27:41.000 What do you think if he were to go to like, you know, to become a Democrat, right?
00:27:47.000 And 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.
00:27:54.000 And the normal Democrats.
00:27:56.000 It looks like the normal Democrats are going to fall in line behind the progressives because they're the ones with the energy.
00:28:01.000 They're the ones that are going to do the canceling if you step out of line, et cetera.
00:28:04.000 What do you think the chances of quote unquote normal Democrats abandoning the progressives and falling in line?
00:28:10.000 100%.
00:28:11.000 All the polling shows this.
00:28:13.000 We 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.
00:28:22.000 So there was, what was that?
00:28:26.000 We pulled this up like three days ago.
00:28:27.000 There was one that was published by Washington Post at a poll, and they said that party favorability for Democratic Socialists is like 20%.
00:28:37.000 Party favorability for Republicans is like 55%.
00:28:40.000 When people are given the option to vote between a Democratic Socialist and a Republican, they vote Republican four to one.
00:28:47.000 So, what I see is a strong probability.
00:28:49.000 The rumors all make sense.
00:28:50.000 I'm going to say it again.
00:28:51.000 I was told earlier this year Tulsi would resign.
00:28:54.000 And I question this stuff.
00:28:56.000 Do you think that moves are made over resignations over a weekend?
00:29:00.000 When I reached out to some people, they were like, there's absolutely no way Tulsi's going to resign.
00:29:05.000 I said on my show, like, the claim is like, Tulsi's going to, there's going to be like this Tulsi, you know, she's a moderate.
00:29:10.000 She joined Trump, but now she'll break away.
00:29:12.000 Maybe RFK Jr., obviously with Joe Kent.
00:29:15.000 Everybody says, yeah, there's no way Tulsi's breaking away.
00:29:18.000 And then a few months later, she resigns.
00:29:20.000 And then I'm like, wait a minute.
00:29:23.000 Then Hunter, Biden, Tucker do this show, and Tucker's like, I was completely wrong.
00:29:27.000 I should never have supported Donald Trump.
00:29:29.000 I mean, it's actually really bad.
00:29:31.000 And it was Israel that made me report these things.
00:29:34.000 Actually, and I'm like, well, here you go.
00:29:37.000 Hunter Biden represents non woke Democrats.
00:29:40.000 So, what may happen, Phil?
00:29:41.000 I think there's a potential there.
00:29:43.000 I think they're planning for these contingencies.
00:29:45.000 If 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.
00:30:00.000 So, let's say that Vance and Rubio, because Trumpism right now is not particularly popular.
00:30:05.000 Economy is bad.
00:30:06.000 War is very unpopular.
00:30:08.000 Trump's now selling this access to his account.
00:30:10.000 Like Joe Rogan's going, What is happening?
00:30:12.000 That's nuts.
00:30:13.000 So, yeah, it's crazy.
00:30:14.000 We'll get to that in a second.
00:30:16.000 But 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.
00:30:23.000 Let's say that JD Vance can only muster up 43, 44%.
00:30:27.000 The Democratic Socialists conquer the Democratic Party, use anti Trumpism to get the plurality.
00:30:33.000 That's when you dispatch the Tucker ticket.
00:30:38.000 He may not be a Democrat.
00:30:39.000 They may be that third party he's talking about.
00:30:42.000 It could be a Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Kent ticket.
00:30:44.000 But 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.
00:30:53.000 I'm voting Tulsi.
00:30:54.000 Vance wins.
00:30:56.000 I 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.
00:31:15.000 I mean, you went and I went and watched the whole hour and a half of him talking about his point by point thing.
00:31:21.000 There's only a handful of things in it that I found that I wasn't particularly interested in.
00:31:28.000 And most of it was his delivery.
00:31:31.000 But it really, I don't feel like that plan is going to resonate with regular, quote unquote, regular Democrats.
00:31:40.000 Well, I was not going to watch an hour and a half of Tucker talking.
00:31:42.000 He's never been my guy.
00:31:43.000 I don't really keep up with him that much.
00:31:45.000 But I read the bullet points that he put out.
00:31:49.000 They're grievances.
00:31:49.000 I mean, there's not a plan there.
00:31:52.000 They're just grievances.
00:31:52.000 Some of them are good.
00:31:53.000 Some of them are good.
00:31:54.000 Some of them are fine.
00:31:55.000 You know?
00:31:56.000 Yeah, well, of course.
00:31:57.000 People shouldn't live through debt.
00:31:58.000 You know what I mean?
00:31:59.000 But I got to be honest, the stuff that he's preaching is very aligned with left populism.
00:32:04.000 So he had this whole thing today about Ben Shapiro being a psyop, which is crazy.
00:32:11.000 He's basically saying, he kept saying they created Ben Shapiro over and over again.
00:32:14.000 They.
00:32:16.000 Elites and special interests.
00:32:17.000 He said, Ben Shapiro is Boomer's vision of what a young person thinks.
00:32:22.000 And they're using Ben Shapiro to send this messaging, this political ideology to young people.
00:32:28.000 And he's like, and it worked because of the trans stuff, which we all think they probably created anyway.
00:32:32.000 And it's again, it's just like, who is they, though?
00:32:34.000 The Jew.
00:32:35.000 Who is they, though?
00:32:36.000 He then mentions Israel a couple of times, but he doesn't explicitly say it.
00:32:39.000 Yeah.
00:32:40.000 So he talks about, he was complaining because Ben Shapiro said burritos don't cost $20.
00:32:46.000 Good burritos cost $20.
00:32:48.000 And he said, if you can't afford a $20 burrito, too bad, save up, split rent with your buddies.
00:32:54.000 And I would just say, like, everybody's wrong.
00:32:57.000 I think everybody's wrong.
00:32:58.000 Usually the right answer.
00:32:59.000 Yeah, no, I mean, like burritos, a good high quality burrito shouldn't be $20.
00:33:04.000 Like a Chipotle burrito is $16.
00:33:05.000 I don't know.
00:33:06.000 I 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.
00:33:17.000 And that's high quality.
00:33:18.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, I tend to get extra snakes.
00:33:21.000 And it's awesome and good and not $20 because like the whole piece of meat is $20.
00:33:27.000 Taco Bell burrito is like $3.50.
00:33:29.000 Sure.
00:33:30.000 I used to get California burritos all the time from this place in Philly when I was much younger.
00:33:35.000 And they were $8.50.
00:33:37.000 And I got one every single day for lunch.
00:33:39.000 And it was like as big as my head.
00:33:40.000 Yeah, but dude, there are some spots in LA, like just outside of Koreatown.
00:33:45.000 What's that street that Larchmont is on?
00:33:47.000 Not Larchmont, the Cross Street.
00:33:48.000 I can't remember the name.
00:33:49.000 I love LA too, well.
00:33:49.000 I used to live there.
00:33:50.000 And 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.
00:33:58.000 And they do that panini grill thing on them.
00:34:00.000 Man, those were the days.
00:34:01.000 My son still talks about it.
00:34:02.000 We went to.
00:34:03.000 We went to LA a couple years ago, decided to do a thing with Prager.
00:34:07.000 And we ate all the Mexican food in LA.
00:34:10.000 We ate so much Mexican food.
00:34:12.000 And there was this one burrito that we got, and it was 12 bucks and it was giant.
00:34:16.000 And he still talks about it as like the absolute best burrito he's ever had.
00:34:20.000 It's the reason I started.
00:34:22.000 I like learned how to make birria and like burritos and stuff, other than just like here's some taco meat, put it in the thing.
00:34:29.000 So it might be Beverly.
00:34:31.000 I'm not sure if it was Beverly.
00:34:33.000 But yeah, burritos, burrito, like a high quality burrito.
00:34:36.000 I don't think it should be 20 bucks.
00:34:36.000 I don't know.
00:34:38.000 But then again, you know, there's a lot of things that are way too expensive.
00:34:43.000 I'm tired of going to the grocery store and having like every steak I pick up be $35.
00:34:47.000 This is all because of the inflation that we saw after COVID.
00:34:50.000 Like it takes, this is why inflation is so pernicious, right?
00:34:55.000 A nasty bout of inflation is so pernicious and it hurts so bad, is because it takes forever for wages to catch up.
00:35:01.000 Oh, yeah.
00:35:02.000 No 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.
00:35:11.000 They're going to be like, well, $20 isn't what it used to be, right?
00:35:14.000 And it's true.
00:35:15.000 But, you know, $20 now.
00:35:18.000 Isn't what it was in 2005, but that's because of the inflation that we have.
00:35:23.000 And you can lay that directly at the feet of bad policy during COVID, right?
00:35:27.000 Like they shouldn't have printed up all that money.
00:35:29.000 In fact, to be honest with you, I would even go so far as to say that it was bad policy through the teens, right?
00:35:34.000 They shouldn't have kept interest rates at zero just to keep the stock market afloat.
00:35:38.000 You 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.
00:35:44.000 They all chickened out.
00:35:46.000 What do you make of this?
00:35:47.000 What do you guys make of this El Sayed thing where he's like the blues clues thing?
00:35:52.000 No, there was the Blues Clues thing, but then also how he.
00:35:55.000 He's gay.
00:35:57.000 How banks helped him have a Sharia mortgage, which means no interest.
00:36:02.000 Yeah.
00:36:03.000 Oh, Sharia.
00:36:03.000 I like that.
00:36:04.000 I'm sorry.
00:36:06.000 No interest mortgage, right?
00:36:07.000 It was a no interest mortgage.
00:36:08.000 So, banking institutions have been working to create financial products specifically for Muslims that adhere to Sharia law.
00:36:17.000 Well, hold on.
00:36:18.000 I want one.
00:36:19.000 Who doesn't want a fork and.
00:36:21.000 I ain't going to complain.
00:36:22.000 You still have to pay interest.
00:36:23.000 So, I actually just wrote a piece about this.
00:36:25.000 It should be coming out soon.
00:36:27.000 Basically, 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.
00:36:38.000 So you're essentially paying interest.
00:36:40.000 It's literally just a loophole to get around saying it's only interest.
00:36:44.000 And usually the rates are crappier because for the service that they provide, they want to make some money.
00:36:48.000 So, yeah, not great.
00:36:51.000 Oh, I'm mad.
00:36:51.000 Oh, that's terrible.
00:36:53.000 I would have been wrong.
00:36:55.000 That's a trick.
00:36:57.000 Somebody was getting a no interest mortgage.
00:36:58.000 I want one.
00:37:00.000 Yeah.
00:37:01.000 Abdul El Sayed has a bunch of really weird videos.
00:37:03.000 The Blues Clues thing is weird.
00:37:05.000 Should we pull that one up?
00:37:06.000 Oh, man.
00:37:06.000 Yes.
00:37:08.000 Listen, I'm trying really hard because, like, right now, like, let me pull this up.
00:37:15.000 Politics is really divided.
00:37:17.000 And I'm like, I'm going to give this guy a fair shake.
00:37:20.000 You know what I mean?
00:37:21.000 I'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.
00:37:21.000 I'm not.
00:37:29.000 DSA was campaigning on his behalf.
00:37:31.000 He's claiming he's not a socialist.
00:37:33.000 I don't believe it.
00:37:35.000 But come on, guys.
00:37:36.000 You ready for this one?
00:37:37.000 This is gonna be real.
00:37:40.000 It was way better than when Steve did it.
00:37:48.000 Yeah, I agree.
00:37:49.000 Thanks, mailbox.
00:37:52.000 We just got a letter.
00:37:54.000 We just got a letter.
00:37:56.000 We just got a letter.
00:37:58.000 I wonder who it's from.
00:38:00.000 Oh, it looks like my ballot.
00:38:03.000 Brought to me by my Secretary of State.
00:38:06.000 I thought this was AI.
00:38:08.000 Oh my god, this is a.
00:38:10.000 That I can turn this in is June 25th.
00:38:13.000 It has to be postmarked by July 21st.
00:38:16.000 Star Wars Adults.
00:38:17.000 Or I can drop it off up until Election Day, which is August 4th.
00:38:22.000 Give me the 30 year olds that buy Funko Pops.
00:38:26.000 It's like he wants kids to vote.
00:38:26.000 Yeah.
00:38:32.000 I think this is going to cost him the election.
00:38:34.000 That is so.
00:38:36.000 I don't really want to wag my tail.
00:38:36.000 It should!
00:38:38.000 When it comes, I want to whale.
00:38:40.000 No!
00:38:43.000 The most offensive part to me was this right here.
00:38:43.000 No!
00:38:46.000 We just got a letter.
00:38:48.000 We just got a letter.
00:38:49.000 Because he's flat.
00:38:50.000 He is flat.
00:38:51.000 Yeah, no, I was just.
00:38:53.000 You guys remember?
00:38:54.000 I mean, that's.
00:38:54.000 What's up?
00:38:54.000 That's from Blues Clues.
00:38:55.000 That's the.
00:38:56.000 Well, I mean, I was.
00:38:57.000 I mean, Blues Clues was weird enough.
00:38:58.000 I didn't watch it.
00:38:59.000 My kid will not be watching any of this weird psychobabble nonsense.
00:39:03.000 We'll be watching El Said commercials either.
00:39:04.000 I ain't going anywhere near that psychobabble nonsense.
00:39:06.000 That's a crack for kids.
00:39:08.000 But it's like.
00:39:10.000 It's like.
00:39:11.000 It's.
00:39:11.000 It's.
00:39:12.000 It's.
00:39:13.000 Retardational.
00:39:15.000 So is Peppa Pig.
00:39:15.000 It is.
00:39:17.000 No, no, no, but the dopamine isn't the question.
00:39:19.000 The question is like, you can trigger kids' dopamine through video games that are, or movies or content that is real in a sense.
00:39:29.000 Like, you can put on a show that's exciting with loud music, but it's real people doing real things.
00:39:36.000 Like, a guy is playing rock music in a band and everyone's screaming and cheering and then he's pointing and everyone's laughing.
00:39:42.000 But those are things real humans do.
00:39:45.000 But this children's stuff is like, It's like, this is what Ian sees.
00:39:50.000 Like, 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.
00:39:59.000 And Phil will be like, oh, okay.
00:40:00.000 And then I'll be like, oh, it's got a bill, some tax thing.
00:40:03.000 Oh, here, Chris, someone sent a letter to you.
00:40:05.000 Ian is sitting there watching me, and I'm the blues clues guy going, we just got a letter.
00:40:10.000 Hey, Phil, it's fan mail.
00:40:12.000 And Ian's sitting there with his eyes all big, like, whoa.
00:40:14.000 That's what kids are doing watching this stuff.
00:40:17.000 You are inducing that in their brains.
00:40:19.000 That being said, back to the main point.
00:40:21.000 Abdul Al Sayyid, Lord have mercy, what are you doing?
00:40:24.000 There's more.
00:40:25.000 Should I pull up the other stuff?
00:40:26.000 He thinks he's appealing to his own voters too.
00:40:31.000 Infantilizing them.
00:40:32.000 Well, I mean, the Democrats do want to lower the voting age to 16, but even still, this seems.
00:40:37.000 Yeah, this is way below that.
00:40:38.000 I have no idea who this is talking about.
00:40:40.000 Wait, what is this?
00:40:42.000 No, this is not real.
00:40:43.000 Is this real?
00:40:44.000 Right?
00:40:44.000 Yeah, for real.
00:40:46.000 Is this real?
00:40:47.000 I can't tell if it's AI anymore.
00:40:49.000 Is this real?
00:40:52.000 Oh, man.
00:40:54.000 I fear it might be.
00:40:58.000 That doesn't look like AI.
00:41:04.000 We're going to get a strike for that stupid song.
00:41:04.000 I know.
00:41:06.000 Look, I love that song, so I'm not going to talk.
00:41:12.000 This is real?
00:41:13.000 Yeah, that's totally real.
00:41:15.000 You know what?
00:41:15.000 It's not more outlandish than the blues clues.
00:41:18.000 Guys, I figured it out.
00:41:19.000 I'm going to run as a Democrat.
00:41:21.000 And you know what I'm going to do?
00:41:22.000 I'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.
00:41:31.000 And then whenever someone says something, I'm going to cast a Harry Potter spell.
00:41:37.000 He's going to be like, your tax policy, confund us.
00:41:40.000 And then the crowd's going to go, they're all going to be screaming like, Harry Potter.
00:41:44.000 And then I'll be like, guys, what he just said, it's what Darth Vader would say.
00:41:49.000 And then they're all, like, my point is, this works.
00:41:53.000 He won.
00:41:55.000 Yeah, he did.
00:41:56.000 He actually won the primary.
00:41:57.000 Yeah, he did.
00:41:58.000 But Francesca Hong didn't.
00:42:00.000 You think they stole it from her?
00:42:02.000 She was up by less than a point for five years.
00:42:06.000 I think it's the other way around.
00:42:08.000 The dude from Milwaukee, Milwaukee has an error, and the dude from Milwaukee wins, and he was behind.
00:42:15.000 Like, my question is Well, Crowley was behind in the polls, but he was never behind on election night.
00:42:19.000 Like, I was watching that thing back in 2018.
00:42:22.000 Oh, no, I thought you meant Tuesday.
00:42:24.000 Oh, no, no, yeah, Because other Crowley was the AOC Crowley, remember?
00:42:27.000 Yeah, wasn't that the guy's name, David Crowley?
00:42:29.000 I think so.
00:42:30.000 I wasn't even paying any attention to him.
00:42:32.000 Well, so she was up in the polls by double digits.
00:42:35.000 So either the prediction markets had her at 99.9 to win, bro.
00:42:40.000 If on election day, You went on one of these prediction markets and put $100 down, which is at 0.1.
00:42:46.000 10 hours later, you'd have cleared $13,000.
00:42:48.000 It's crazy.
00:42:49.000 Yeah, that is crazy.
00:42:50.000 Because they were all wrong.
00:42:52.000 First 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.
00:43:00.000 There's a couple coming up, there's one in Florida.
00:43:02.000 And I'm just like, they're all switching now.
00:43:06.000 Basically, everyone's like, the polls are wrong, bet against them.
00:43:08.000 The polling has been screwed up for years and years.
00:43:10.000 Yes, but has it?
00:43:11.000 That's the question.
00:43:12.000 The dude from Milwaukee who was behind in the polls, there's an accidental error benefiting him in Milwaukee.
00:43:20.000 Right, with the like five USB drives or whatever.
00:43:22.000 We got the wrong data on it.
00:43:23.000 We have to go and check.
00:43:25.000 So, 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.
00:43:34.000 I'm not saying that's true.
00:43:35.000 I'm just saying maybe the socialists actually are doing really well and Syed was supposed to lose, but they didn't cheat enough.
00:43:43.000 Do you think they're that organized?
00:43:45.000 Like, I feel like the.
00:43:46.000 What do you mean?
00:43:47.000 They're pretty organized.
00:43:48.000 Are you saying if, like, one woman in Milwaukee County could flub five USBs?
00:43:53.000 Absolutely.
00:43:54.000 Fair enough.
00:43:56.000 You don't.
00:43:56.000 You don't need it.
00:43:57.000 For a primary, you don't.
00:44:00.000 I mean, this is the thing.
00:44:02.000 Milwaukee is a dense urban population.
00:44:05.000 That's where you're going to get your biggest density of votes per USB stick.
00:44:09.000 So when they go missing, again, I don't know.
00:44:12.000 I don't want to speculate.
00:44:13.000 I'm just saying the rumors online are that.
00:44:15.000 They wait until 3 or 3 50 a.m. or whatever to see what the vote count was so they knew no more likely come in.
00:44:21.000 That way, okay, we're going to need 20,000 votes so he can't lose.
00:44:27.000 If you do it early on and your margins are off, he loses.
00:44:30.000 So that's why the ballot dumps are always at two or three in the morning.
00:44:33.000 I don't know, though.
00:44:34.000 Don't look at me.
00:44:36.000 I guess the challenge is if the machine, I don't know, it's kind of weird to see the dude Cornacki on NBC just be completely dumbfounded.
00:44:45.000 You guys saw that?
00:44:46.000 Yeah.
00:44:46.000 Yeah.
00:44:47.000 That was wild.
00:44:48.000 And then he, I can't remember what the quote was, but he was like, how do I say this?
00:44:53.000 I, and everyone's like, he wants to say they stole the election, but he can't because he's on NBC.
00:44:59.000 So I just wonder, maybe I got, you know, knowing the libs that I know, I think what he's doing is going to work for him.
00:45:07.000 Like, I'm not even kidding, guys.
00:45:08.000 I'm pretty sure that if Syed showed up to a debate dressed as a Harry Potter character and literally did what I explained, he'd do well.
00:45:14.000 They'd be like, he won the debate because he spoke to his audience.
00:45:17.000 Yeah.
00:45:18.000 I mean, it's a clown show.
00:45:21.000 We're like two elections away from Alondo.
00:45:25.000 What's his name?
00:45:26.000 Elizondo.
00:45:27.000 The guy from the president from Idiocracy.
00:45:31.000 Oh, yeah.
00:45:32.000 Is it Alondo Elizondo?
00:45:34.000 It was Elizondo Camacho, something.
00:45:34.000 Camacho.
00:45:37.000 They had Mountain Dew Herbert or something like that.
00:45:39.000 I forget what his name is.
00:45:40.000 All they drink is Gatorade.
00:45:42.000 No, Brondo.
00:45:42.000 Yeah.
00:45:43.000 And they water the crops with it and they can't figure out why things aren't growing.
00:45:46.000 But I mean, not kidding around.
00:45:48.000 We're just a couple of elections away from that.
00:45:50.000 Right.
00:45:51.000 Personally, 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.
00:46:02.000 And Donald Trump.
00:46:04.000 Maybe Bill Clinton playing Saxon.
00:46:05.000 Well, yeah.
00:46:06.000 Yeah, maybe Brooklyn.
00:46:08.000 I mean, MTV, the MTV generation, the whole Rock the Vote thing, that might have actually been the beginning, so fair enough.
00:46:14.000 But then, you know, Barack Obama wanting to do all the appearances on late night TV and stuff.
00:46:20.000 Donald Trump being a TV personality before he was even a president obviously turned it up.
00:46:27.000 Like, 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.
00:46:36.000 Right.
00:46:36.000 You know?
00:46:37.000 Yeah.
00:46:38.000 Shawn Michaels is a wrestler for sure.
00:46:39.000 Bro, it's like Idiocracy was not wrong.
00:46:42.000 You know, Mike Judge was.
00:46:44.000 He's always right.
00:46:45.000 Office Space was perfect.
00:46:47.000 Yeah.
00:46:48.000 And there's more videos.
00:46:49.000 Should I pull up the rest of them?
00:46:51.000 Let's see them.
00:46:52.000 I guess.
00:46:53.000 Everyone's like, yes, I'd like to see that.
00:46:56.000 I don't even know how to find it.
00:46:57.000 Was it singing?
00:47:00.000 There was.
00:47:00.000 Yeah, there's definitely been singing.
00:47:02.000 The Blues Clues one is the one that's really taking off.
00:47:04.000 It's like disturbing.
00:47:06.000 Yeah.
00:47:07.000 I didn't know what to think of that.
00:47:09.000 Still don't.
00:47:10.000 Well, it's not the democracy that we need, but I think it's the democracy that we deserve.
00:47:15.000 Yeah.
00:47:16.000 Yeah.
00:47:16.000 That's terrible.
00:47:17.000 We let too many people vote.
00:47:19.000 Well, I mean, it is what it is.
00:47:21.000 I mean, we picked our bed and we lay in it.
00:47:23.000 This is the quality of candidates that we're looking at.
00:47:25.000 We allow too many people to vote, so you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
00:47:29.000 We're really close on that, Phil.
00:47:30.000 How about nobody votes?
00:47:32.000 I mean, I am being swayed.
00:47:35.000 I am being swayed.
00:47:37.000 Like, the whole democracy thing.
00:47:40.000 Yeah.
00:47:41.000 I can't actually find the other ones.
00:47:42.000 He's got a bunch of these, though.
00:47:43.000 I saw a great meme.
00:47:44.000 Like, someone had, it was George Washington saying, You let women vote.
00:47:49.000 And then there was a guy behind him saying, You let people vote.
00:47:54.000 The joke is like, people always say, The founding fathers, if they saw what was going on today, they'd be busting camps already.
00:48:01.000 And it's like, bro, if you went to the founding fathers, they'd be like, Things went wrong in 1830, not 1999.
00:48:10.000 Things went wrong in.
00:48:11.000 They'd be like, Blasphemy's legal?
00:48:13.000 Yeah.
00:48:14.000 You'd be like, yeah, you'd be surprised, boys.
00:48:16.000 Things went wrong in the 17th century.
00:48:21.000 Well, 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.
00:48:32.000 It's true.
00:48:33.000 Yeah.
00:48:34.000 And the issue, how do I say this?
00:48:42.000 Thomas Jefferson was wrong about a lot.
00:48:44.000 He was right about a lot, but he was wrong about a lot.
00:48:46.000 Cool house, though.
00:48:47.000 Cool house, right?
00:48:48.000 He 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.
00:48:55.000 I'm glad some of his ideas didn't get implemented.
00:48:57.000 He was wrong about the French Revolution.
00:48:58.000 He was very pro French Revolution in the beginning, and then he's like, Whoa, wait a second.
00:49:02.000 The Jacobins, you guys are nuts.
00:49:04.000 Yeah.
00:49:05.000 You know?
00:49:05.000 And that's the point, because he said something about a constitution would need to be rewritten because he made a point about.
00:49:13.000 Was it every 40 years?
00:49:14.000 Because that's the generational.
00:49:15.000 I don't think he said 40, but it might have been.
00:49:17.000 But his point was that.
00:49:18.000 It would be absurd in 200 years for dead men to be, you know, making the laws for a wholly different people.
00:49:24.000 The problem is, Thomas Jefferson's life, the way he lived technologically, was functionally identical to 200 years before.
00:49:35.000 The technological advancements were so dramatically minimal.
00:49:38.000 Like, 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.
00:49:49.000 To get more people involved in the way that your society is organized, right?
00:49:55.000 Just 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.
00:50:12.000 That shouldn't be the way that society is organized.
00:50:15.000 Like, that's the reason why we have representatives, right?
00:50:19.000 That's the reason why the federal government is supposed to be limited because Congress people can't be expected to know.
00:50:27.000 To 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.
00:50:43.000 And your municipalities are really where you're going to actually have the biggest effect.
00:50:48.000 You can go down the street and look for your selectman and yell at him if he passes a bill that you don't like.
00:50:54.000 You got a whole lot more chance of affecting your life if you're dealing with your local legislator.
00:50:59.000 somehow than if you're dealing with your congressperson who represents however many people they represent.
00:51:05.000 400,000 or something like that.
00:51:05.000 Yeah.
00:51:07.000 So the argument that the left makes, they say, oh, they wanted, the founders wanted to rewrite the Constitution.
00:51:07.000 Yeah.
00:51:14.000 That doesn't mean that they wanted to have like you deciding how I get to live.
00:51:20.000 Did you want to know something crazy?
00:51:22.000 There was a shooting in my neighborhood in Chicago recently.
00:51:27.000 And 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.
00:51:34.000 And it was like old people.
00:51:35.000 It wasn't, it was right outside of a school.
00:51:38.000 So 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.
00:51:45.000 And it shows all the locals like standing outside of their houses watching because the squad cars have blocked the road off.
00:51:51.000 And this is the neighbor that I'm from.
00:51:53.000 Everybody was Indian.
00:51:55.000 Really?
00:51:55.000 All the people?
00:51:56.000 I mean, there was like a handful of people.
00:51:58.000 It's not like there were 10,000 people in the street, but like people standing on there.
00:52:01.000 So like Chicago houses on the south side to give a small lawn.
00:52:06.000 And 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.
00:52:12.000 And I was like, wow.
00:52:14.000 Like, no beef.
00:52:15.000 I'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.
00:52:26.000 Yeah.
00:52:26.000 Because it's Chicago.
00:52:28.000 Like, reclass?
00:52:30.000 Somewhere in between.
00:52:31.000 I mean, they were City Billies, you know what I mean?
00:52:34.000 That's nice.
00:52:34.000 City Billies.
00:52:35.000 City Williams.
00:52:36.000 I like city billies.
00:52:37.000 We give them respect.
00:52:37.000 City billies.
00:52:38.000 And not hill billies.
00:52:40.000 But that's where I grew up.
00:52:41.000 So it's like we were on the border of the south suburbs.
00:52:45.000 There's a suburb of Summit.
00:52:47.000 We called it Scummit.
00:52:48.000 Some people probably live there right now.
00:52:49.000 They're mad at me for calling it that.
00:52:51.000 Or they're going, no, he's right.
00:52:51.000 Yeah, we call it Scummit.
00:52:52.000 You know what I mean?
00:52:53.000 But now it's like what was once a Polish migrant neighborhood and largely just like white working class cops and firefighters.
00:53:02.000 My friends are like, it's all Latino, Indian, and some Asian now.
00:53:06.000 Right.
00:53:07.000 And it's like the point I bring up is one, you know, the demographics are absolutely changing.
00:53:11.000 There's a desperation because there's no young people, nobody had kids.
00:53:14.000 But also, what does this mean for our constitution?
00:53:17.000 If we were to rewrite it every time, oh, bro, we're in for a storm, I'll tell you what.
00:53:23.000 Because it doesn't matter if you do or don't rewrite the constitution.
00:53:26.000 If 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.
00:53:40.000 We're all smiling as we do.
00:53:42.000 And 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.
00:53:48.000 What 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.
00:53:57.000 And then you get beaten and told to shut up.
00:54:00.000 And then, what happens when we're debating?
00:54:03.000 What happens when our Supreme Court in 50 to 70 years has seven justices that are the children of Chinese migrants?
00:54:14.000 And they're on the court, and they say the First Amendment clearly doesn't mean you can say anything you want.
00:54:20.000 The 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.
00:54:27.000 Free speech means you're allowed to agree with us.
00:54:30.000 Because 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.
00:54:38.000 Right.
00:54:38.000 What happens when they start doing things like that?
00:54:41.000 The right to keep and bear arms meant literal bear arms.
00:54:43.000 The Founding Fathers are talking about going hunting.
00:54:45.000 And when you hunt a bear, you put his arms in your office.
00:54:48.000 And 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.
00:54:54.000 The answer for that should be saved for the after show.
00:54:59.000 My point is Thomas Jefferson did claim, like, you'll need a new constitution for a new people.
00:55:05.000 And I'm like, nah, you have to amend the constitution.
00:55:10.000 And we haven't been doing that.
00:55:11.000 We've been legislating the constitution through the Supreme Court.
00:55:14.000 And it's resulted in this wackaloon world where we don't have a constitution anymore.
00:55:17.000 Sorry, guys, we just don't.
00:55:19.000 If you think the Constitution, as written, is what the founding fathers wanted it to be, you are wrong.
00:55:23.000 And it's funny how conservatives and progressives both simultaneously agree and disagree with me when I say this.
00:55:28.000 There are some progressives who are like, you're absolutely incorrect.
00:55:30.000 It's Trump.
00:55:30.000 He's destroying the Constitution.
00:55:31.000 Then there are progressives that I meet that are like, no, yeah, you're right.
00:55:34.000 That's never the, you know, I get these like far lefties and they say, you are completely correct, Tim.
00:55:38.000 The founding fathers were white nationalists, white supremacists, and they wanted more.
00:55:42.000 They wanted blasphemy laws and they had them.
00:55:44.000 Then you can, I talk to conservatives and they're like, no, we are adhering to the Constitution's initial intent.
00:55:50.000 The founding fathers did not think that a state had no right to ban you from owning guns.
00:55:53.000 The founding fathers thought that if Virginia wanted to pass a law banning guns, that's their problem.
00:55:57.000 The federal government wouldn't be allowed to do it, but Virginia can do it, Virginia does.
00:56:00.000 The founding fathers thought that free speech did not mean you could blaspheme the name of Jesus Christ.
00:56:05.000 In fact, when you're making that joke about, he's like, you let women vote, they'd actually be like, you let Catholics vote?
00:56:11.000 Right.
00:56:13.000 That would be shocking to them.
00:56:14.000 Yeah, 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.
00:56:23.000 So.
00:56:24.000 Indeed.
00:56:25.000 Imagine where our constitution is going to be, as I described it, in 50 years as these demographics change.
00:56:31.000 We're going to get, it's going to be fascinating.
00:56:34.000 I guarantee you this.
00:56:36.000 If Islam continues to expand in the United States as it is, and hold on, guys, there are variables.
00:56:43.000 I 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.
00:57:00.000 I 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.
00:57:17.000 You could not blaspheme.
00:57:21.000 That law only later on were these issues challenged.
00:57:26.000 It is entirely constitutional to make it illegal to besmirch the good name of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
00:57:34.000 Yeah, I mean, they could make changes whatever they want, really, at the Supreme Court.
00:57:38.000 They seem to not be entirely concerned with precedent.
00:57:42.000 I actually.
00:57:43.000 Real quick, my argument is there is historical precedent for the banning of blasphemy.
00:57:48.000 So if you were to ask a Supreme Court justice right now, can we ban blasphemy?
00:57:55.000 A justice could say, yes, the founding fathers' full intention was that blasphemy was not covered by the First Amendment.
00:58:02.000 They won't because of the ideology of the justices.
00:58:05.000 Well, but they've also heard cases on blasphemy since.
00:58:08.000 And they can overturn them.
00:58:09.000 They can, but they're not going to.
00:58:11.000 And Islamic courts.
00:58:12.000 There is precedent that says that they'd have to go against.
00:58:16.000 Indeed, and they overturn precedent all the time.
00:58:18.000 They generally avoid doing that.
00:58:20.000 But that's not the point because I guarantee you an Islamic Supreme Court would be like no problem.
00:58:23.000 Well, an Islamic Supreme Court.
00:58:24.000 And 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.
00:58:41.000 The founding fathers' intention on the First Amendment was that blasphemy would not be covered by free speech.
00:58:46.000 It is only because of an attempted reinterpretation by progressive groups that this was ever allowed.
00:58:51.000 And if the American people want blasphemy to be free speech, you need to amend the Constitution.
00:58:57.000 Thus, it is so ordered, reversed.
00:58:59.000 And then they're going to be like, it's going to be a case involving someone drawing a picture of Muhammad or something.
00:59:04.000 I am not saying Islam will take over.
00:59:05.000 I'm not saying they will get on the Supreme Court.
00:59:07.000 I'm saying Islam is a strong religion.
00:59:11.000 Muslims.
00:59:12.000 Do not have the same issues Christians do.
00:59:15.000 Christians stand back and say, you know, live and let live.
00:59:18.000 I'm not trying to, you know, Muslims do not do this.
00:59:20.000 Well, Christians extend their values to those who disagree with their values and they extend that grace.
00:59:28.000 And that can turn into a problem.
00:59:32.000 And it lacks a certain measure of self preservation.
00:59:37.000 Yeah.
00:59:37.000 And I mean, that's, I think that's kind of the argument that I'm summing up when I say that liberalism can't deal with authoritarianism.
00:59:45.000 Well, I guess if you listen to Tucker, Islam's not that bad, actually.
00:59:51.000 And Israel made me say that they were.
00:59:52.000 We're not going to listen to Tucker, though.
00:59:56.000 Just saying.
00:59:57.000 You 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.
01:00:05.000 I 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.
01:00:12.000 And then two LGBT people were like, that's offensive Islamophobia.
01:00:17.000 And then he was like, What's wrong?
01:00:20.000 Like, why do you think it's not a threat?
01:00:21.000 And they were like, You're being a bigot to like an entire people.
01:00:24.000 And he was like, Would you want to live in Saudi Arabia?
01:00:27.000 And they were like, That's not what we're saying.
01:00:28.000 And he was like, If they came here and implemented their government, they're going to force women to wear burqas.
01:00:34.000 Women won't be allowed to vote.
01:00:35.000 And they're going to throw gay people off roofs.
01:00:37.000 And then the LGBT, he's like a trans guy and a woman, they were like, We're done.
01:00:41.000 Yeah.
01:00:41.000 We're leaving.
01:00:42.000 And he's like, I'm saying this for you.
01:00:44.000 I don't understand.
01:00:45.000 It's fascinating to me that it's progressives that would suffer the most under Islamic law or Sharia.
01:00:51.000 And it's conservatives.
01:00:52.000 That recognizes that it goes too far in one direction.
01:00:57.000 But there's a lot of things conservatives would absolutely like that that's in these countries.
01:01:01.000 That's such an interesting thing.
01:01:03.000 I 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.
01:01:16.000 So West Virginia had this Supreme Court case ages ago.
01:01:20.000 I think it was 18 something, whatever.
01:01:22.000 I don't remember.
01:01:23.000 But West Virginia schools said that Jehovah's Witnesses had to do the Pledge of Allegiance.
01:01:23.000 Sorry, guys.
01:01:30.000 And the Jehovah's Witness family was like, no, we don't believe in that.
01:01:33.000 And so West Virginia said, okay, then don't come into school.
01:01:37.000 And the Jehovah's Witnesses said, we still get to go to school.
01:01:39.000 We just don't have to do the Pledge of Allegiance.
01:01:41.000 And 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?
01:01:53.000 Because you're not free from exposure to ideas that you disagree with.
01:01:59.000 And then in the Mahmood ruling with Montgomery County, Maryland, we had a situation where kids were getting like, Weird LGBTQ books read to them.
01:02:10.000 And 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.
01:02:20.000 They all were like, hey, we don't want our kids to have to be subjected to this, which I agree.
01:02:25.000 I don't want my kid to be subjected to that trash either.
01:02:27.000 And I do want him to say the Pledge of Allegiance, right?
01:02:29.000 Okay.
01:02:30.000 So in the Mahmood ruling, the Supreme Court said you allow opt outs for other things like sports activities.
01:02:37.000 So, you have to allow advance notice opt outs for these things.
01:02:41.000 And 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.
01:02:54.000 Well, so my question for everybody is should women vote?
01:02:59.000 Well, I mean, I think women should vote.
01:02:59.000 Yeah.
01:03:00.000 What do you think?
01:03:01.000 I think women should vote.
01:03:02.000 Nobody should vote.
01:03:02.000 What do you think?
01:03:04.000 No voting.
01:03:06.000 I'll say it till I'm dead.
01:03:07.000 No voting at all.
01:03:08.000 I'm sympathetic to Chris's perspective.
01:03:10.000 So, should everybody vote?
01:03:13.000 I think, you know, everybody who's of legal age to vote should vote.
01:03:16.000 Wrong age.
01:03:17.000 You're a communist.
01:03:19.000 You're a communist.
01:03:20.000 What do you think?
01:03:20.000 Okay.
01:03:21.000 Should everyone vote?
01:03:22.000 I 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.
01:03:22.000 Absolutely not.
01:03:31.000 It would be, like, almost inhumane to, like, stand them up in a line and try and make them force them to their conclusions.
01:03:38.000 I 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.
01:03:48.000 So that would be like all of the people who are like, I'm neurodivergent and that's interesting.
01:03:53.000 No voting for them.
01:03:54.000 No voting for you.
01:03:55.000 Okay.
01:03:56.000 Yeah.
01:03:56.000 No vote for you.
01:03:57.000 Look, if there's like a thing that is and you don't think it is, you can't vote.
01:04:03.000 You know what I mean?
01:04:04.000 Like, I'm being very specific.
01:04:05.000 If you think you can change the weather with your mind, you don't believe in objective reality.
01:04:12.000 I'm saying that if I stand before you and.
01:04:17.000 You know, I show you a car and you're like, that's a giraffe.
01:04:21.000 I'll be like, can you define what a giraffe is?
01:04:22.000 And like, it's a large mammal with many, with a large neck.
01:04:25.000 And you're like, okay, that's not correct.
01:04:28.000 You can't see functionally.
01:04:30.000 So 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.
01:04:39.000 And then they run up and jump on a bike and then slam into a wall.
01:04:42.000 You're like, that person shouldn't be dictating how this country functions.
01:04:45.000 But blind people could vote, deaf people.
01:04:47.000 Yes, well, what about disabilities?
01:04:49.000 I'm talking about a mental disorder by which.
01:04:51.000 Your perception of reality is incongruous with reality.
01:04:54.000 So, we used to have these rules, right?
01:04:55.000 There used to be like rules in the South where you had to pass certain tests to be able to vote.
01:05:00.000 Yes, yes, yes.
01:05:00.000 But those tests were insane.
01:05:02.000 They were really rigged.
01:05:02.000 I was rigged.
01:05:04.000 Well, the Supreme Court said you can't do this.
01:05:06.000 And now, Louisiana, anytime you're.
01:05:08.000 Have you ever seen these tests?
01:05:09.000 You have to clear it with us.
01:05:11.000 No, I didn't.
01:05:12.000 They're ridiculous.
01:05:14.000 So.
01:05:14.000 Should there be some kind of tests?
01:05:17.000 Maybe, but the problem is.
01:05:17.000 Maybe wrong.
01:05:18.000 You're alive, you can't vote.
01:05:19.000 No, no, no, no.
01:05:20.000 Okay, listen.
01:05:21.000 The problem is so, this is an example of a literacy test from Louisiana, is that.
01:05:26.000 The people in power can create a question with multiple answers and then say, oh no, we meant the other one.
01:05:33.000 No.
01:05:33.000 Right.
01:05:34.000 You got it wrong.
01:05:35.000 Chris, do me a favor and unpack your perspective on voting and what your worldview is about voting and stuff like that.
01:05:44.000 Well, I'm coming at it from an anarcho Christian point of view.
01:05:47.000 We think about the political spectrum between right and left, Democrat, Republican, liberal, libertarian, commie, whatever.
01:05:54.000 They all agree that there has to be some sort of an elected or appointed leadership.
01:05:59.000 The anarchic spectrum is totally different, it's on a different, narrower portion of the inverted triangle.
01:06:04.000 And we all anarchists agree that you don't need a leader.
01:06:08.000 Look at this question.
01:06:10.000 Draw a line from circle two to circle five that will pass below circle two and above circle four.
01:06:17.000 So, what?
01:06:18.000 You have to go through it from two under two.
01:06:21.000 So, you're going to start at the bottom and go under and then come up here and then go to five?
01:06:25.000 Yep.
01:06:26.000 In the line below, cross out each number that is more than 20 but less than 30.
01:06:30.000 Okay.
01:06:32.000 So, see, I think that above the letter X, make a small cross.
01:06:36.000 And then, so it's questions like this that often get people bring up because what if you did a plus sign?
01:06:41.000 They go, that's not a cross, it's a plus.
01:06:42.000 Yeah, they need multiple.
01:06:43.000 What if you do an X?
01:06:43.000 They'll be like, that's not a cross.
01:06:45.000 A cross is like a small T. Like, it's ill defined.
01:06:48.000 They might just be like, look, this is upon which you crucified my Lord.
01:06:51.000 It's a cross.
01:06:53.000 That's actually true.
01:06:54.000 I mean, that's probably what they were saying.
01:06:57.000 I mean, look, I'm in.
01:06:58.000 Circle the first.
01:06:59.000 Look at this.
01:07:00.000 Circle the first, first letter of the alphabet in this line.
01:07:04.000 The first, first letter of the alphabet.
01:07:06.000 No, no, no, hold on.
01:07:06.000 So the first.
01:07:07.000 Circle the first, comma.
01:07:09.000 First letter of the alphabet in this line.
01:07:11.000 What does that mean?
01:07:11.000 I think it's the first, first letter.
01:07:13.000 Yes, it would be the A in alphabet.
01:07:14.000 Yeah.
01:07:14.000 Well, and it could be, I mean, if there's the first, first letter of the alphabet in this line.
01:07:19.000 The first, first time the A appears.
01:07:20.000 Or it could be.
01:07:21.000 It could be the first time the A appears.
01:07:23.000 If it's a B, that's how I am.
01:07:24.000 If it's a B, that's how I am.
01:07:25.000 If it's a B, that's how I am.
01:07:26.000 If it's a B, that's how I am.
01:07:27.000 Nope.
01:07:28.000 What are you saying?
01:07:28.000 Nope.
01:07:29.000 It says circle the first, comma, first letter of the alphabet in this line, meaning they want you to circle the first.
01:07:34.000 So you'd circle first.
01:07:36.000 Huh.
01:07:37.000 I could interpret this however I want.
01:07:38.000 Well, I think that's probably the point.
01:07:40.000 The point was to stop black people from voting.
01:07:42.000 That's why these.
01:07:43.000 Right.
01:07:43.000 That's why they said you can't do this.
01:07:44.000 Right.
01:07:46.000 Draw a line under the last word in this line so that it wasn't racist.
01:07:50.000 Draw a line under the last word in this line.
01:07:54.000 Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence.
01:07:58.000 There's a.
01:07:58.000 It's funny.
01:08:00.000 What?
01:08:01.000 The number or letter, which would be one.
01:08:03.000 Yeah.
01:08:05.000 There's Canadian staffers at the post millennial, and we have midterms this year, and they're like, you guys are always voting.
01:08:12.000 What is this?
01:08:13.000 How is it more voting?
01:08:14.000 Wasn't there elections last Tuesday?
01:08:16.000 Yes, there's elections every Tuesday until midterms.
01:08:19.000 I got it.
01:08:20.000 Have you guys ever seen the speed reading videos where the word just flashes on the screen?
01:08:27.000 You ever see these?
01:08:27.000 Yeah.
01:08:28.000 It'll do like a thousand words and they flash on the screen for a fraction of a second.
01:08:31.000 And it's like, yeah, if you can read this, you're not stupid.
01:08:34.000 So, how about we do 600 words per minute, giving you the instructions on how and where to vote?
01:08:38.000 And if you couldn't follow it, that's stupid.
01:08:40.000 I have a much simpler solution.
01:08:41.000 You just allow people to sell their votes, and then kind of the dumbest contingent of society would just.
01:08:46.000 I mean, I guess you could say it discriminates against poor people because we already have people selling their votes, right?
01:08:46.000 Sell their votes.
01:08:52.000 In California on Skid Row.
01:08:53.000 Allegedly.
01:08:55.000 $2 for a signature on a petition.
01:08:57.000 I like the net taxpayers can vote.
01:09:00.000 And 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.
01:09:11.000 That would be a good thing.
01:09:12.000 Yeah.
01:09:13.000 Look, I'm an agnostic, but I would actually, I think I haven't fleshed this idea out, but.
01:09:20.000 The 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.
01:09:34.000 Nothing federal level.
01:09:36.000 So, how do we get federal stuff?
01:09:38.000 Well, you could have, I don't know, maybe it would be something like the state legislatures.
01:09:43.000 You can vote for your state legislatures, the state legislatures decide who's going to be running the federal government.
01:09:48.000 Some states are like that.
01:09:49.000 Like the state legislature decides who's going to be running the federal government.
01:09:52.000 Used to be for the Senate.
01:09:53.000 Yeah, the Senate is.
01:09:53.000 Let them elect the president.
01:09:55.000 Let them elect the Senate.
01:09:56.000 No more House of Representatives.
01:09:57.000 Your representatives are in the state.
01:10:00.000 And then they just stay there.
01:10:01.000 The House of Representatives is my favorite body of government.
01:10:04.000 That's because it's a clown show.
01:10:06.000 It's funny.
01:10:07.000 But also, do you notice everybody always likes their representative and they still think Congress is trash?
01:10:12.000 Yeah.
01:10:13.000 Yeah, because this is literally an argument.
01:10:15.000 This is true in Brooklyn, too.
01:10:16.000 I like the representative.
01:10:17.000 This is an argument against voting.
01:10:20.000 Everybody likes their own representative.
01:10:23.000 Nobody likes Congress.
01:10:24.000 Well, Maybe we should.
01:10:25.000 None of those representatives can get along with each other and come up with anything worthwhile.
01:10:29.000 I don't know, but the whole idea of like everybody should vote, I hate MTV for the rest of my life because of the whole rock the vote.
01:10:36.000 Paris Hilton looks so cute.
01:10:38.000 Paris Hilton did look cute.
01:10:39.000 Agreed.
01:10:39.000 But it doesn't change the fact that like everybody shouldn't be voting.
01:10:45.000 Nobody votes.
01:10:46.000 I'm with Chris.
01:10:46.000 All right.
01:10:47.000 Here we go.
01:10:47.000 It's cleaner.
01:10:48.000 What do you think?
01:10:50.000 Just King Trump?
01:10:52.000 Well, no, no king.
01:10:53.000 No monarch, no king.
01:10:55.000 No appointed ruler or leader.
01:10:57.000 That's where we differ.
01:10:58.000 I think that we unify.
01:10:59.000 And how do you run things?
01:11:01.000 Well, listen, we're always going to be subjects to the state.
01:11:03.000 And 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.
01:11:13.000 I disagree, but continue.
01:11:14.000 You don't think so?
01:11:15.000 Yeah, I disagree.
01:11:16.000 You don't think that the state is going to abuse its citizens in any way that it can in the long run?
01:11:18.000 No, no, you said there's no place I can go where I wouldn't be subject to the state.
01:11:21.000 Where would you go?
01:11:23.000 Middle of the woods, Pennsylvania.
01:11:25.000 It's like a wild state.
01:11:26.000 I mean, you're going to have to pay taxes.
01:11:28.000 There's still going to be a state.
01:11:29.000 You could go to a collapse of the state.
01:11:30.000 You can go to places like that.
01:11:30.000 Huh?
01:11:31.000 No, no, no, no.
01:11:32.000 My 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?
01:11:40.000 It doesn't exist.
01:11:41.000 It's never existed.
01:11:41.000 It's always been that way.
01:11:42.000 In 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.
01:11:54.000 But in fact, if you go back to any point in human history, no matter where you went, someone claimed authority.
01:12:00.000 So you could have been literally in the Western front.
01:12:03.000 You know, in the early 1800s, and the U.S. government, the Mexican government, Canadians, Native Americans, someone was going to say, it's ours.
01:12:11.000 There was nowhere you could go at any point in history.
01:12:14.000 It's just a difference in population density, in which case, go up to the Yukon, you can do whatever you want.
01:12:18.000 And 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.
01:12:28.000 And so it's blah, blah, blah.
01:12:30.000 There's going to be people that are going to be in positions of authority.
01:12:33.000 Human beings are hierarchical.
01:12:34.000 You'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?
01:12:40.000 And 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.
01:12:40.000 Yeah.
01:12:47.000 And then one day, three random people show up, and they say, We're going to take all your stuff.
01:12:51.000 What are you going to say to them?
01:12:52.000 You give it to them.
01:12:53.000 You're going to give away your stuff.
01:12:54.000 Because you're an anarcho Christian, and you're not attached to your life or your things.
01:12:57.000 So they come and they take all your stuff.
01:12:58.000 They're not attached to your life.
01:12:59.000 They murder your family, and then just leave.
01:13:01.000 He said, If you love your life, you'll lose it.
01:13:01.000 Jesus said that.
01:13:03.000 So when they show up on the island.
01:13:05.000 They slaughter your family and you just go on.
01:13:07.000 Well, it's always about, everybody else talks about slaughter.
01:13:10.000 That's like the extreme example.
01:13:12.000 And I get that.
01:13:13.000 They tie you up, take all your stuff, and leave you to die.
01:13:15.000 And you participate in the suffering of Christ.
01:13:17.000 So you just watch your family die?
01:13:18.000 You just give up?
01:13:19.000 I think that's also called Quaker.
01:13:21.000 But no, no, no, hold on.
01:13:22.000 Like, I have no problem with that if that's your worldview.
01:13:25.000 And I think that's why Christianity is being crushed by Islam.
01:13:28.000 Well, 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.
01:13:43.000 Of course.
01:13:44.000 I 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?
01:13:52.000 Well, it will certainly solve someone not killing your family.
01:13:55.000 Well, not necessarily.
01:13:58.000 Well, yes, you may not succeed, but I guarantee if you do nothing, then your family dies.
01:14:03.000 So you have the choice of I'll try to have my family live or I'll give up and let them kill my family.
01:14:08.000 Well, the math on this is actually quite simple.
01:14:12.000 If Christians hold this view of I will let the Islam do what they want, then Christianity will cease to exist in a couple hundred years.
01:14:19.000 And that's fine, I guess.
01:14:21.000 Sooner.
01:14:22.000 I mean, I share a different view.
01:14:24.000 I 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.
01:14:32.000 Do you think that Islam is expanding?
01:14:36.000 Oh, yeah, of course.
01:14:37.000 And in the United States as well.
01:14:38.000 Do you think that they will impose their religion by force?
01:14:38.000 Yes.
01:14:42.000 They couldn't do otherwise.
01:14:43.000 Will Christians let them?
01:14:45.000 Yeah, we'd be martyrs.
01:14:46.000 And then in 100 years, when there's no Christians left, then what?
01:14:50.000 Well, that's not how the book ends.
01:14:53.000 That's not how the book ends.
01:14:54.000 I mean, I have a glimpse of what eternity is going to be on this earth, and Christ wins in the end.
01:15:00.000 I think that there's an argument that Revelation is there's three, it's predictive, descriptive, and I always forget the three.
01:15:11.000 Predictive, descriptive, and what's the other one?
01:15:16.000 Look for it.
01:15:17.000 There's three.
01:15:18.000 The predictive is here's what is going to happen, here's how the book ends.
01:15:22.000 The descriptive is.
01:15:24.000 Here is what has happened.
01:15:26.000 And the third one, I forgot the word, is here's what you must do.
01:15:29.000 It's kind of all prescriptive.
01:15:31.000 Yeah.
01:15:31.000 Yeah.
01:15:32.000 There's predictive of here's how the book ends.
01:15:34.000 The people who believe in the predictive message of the Bible are the ones who will sit back and let these things happen.
01:15:41.000 I believe that's incorrect.
01:15:43.000 Prescriptive is that, descriptive, I'll start with that one, is these things have happened before and they inform us as to the future.
01:15:50.000 There 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.
01:15:57.000 And this is why you can't do bad things.
01:15:59.000 And the prescriptive is here's what you must do for this to come about.
01:16:04.000 There 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.
01:16:11.000 They believe that they must take the actions of Revelation in order for the Messiah to come.
01:16:16.000 And there are Jews who believe this, and there are Christians who believe this.
01:16:19.000 I would simply argue that God helps those who help themselves.
01:16:23.000 And the people, or you, if your argument is, I will sit back and be a martyr because the book will end another way.
01:16:32.000 Nope, you'll get crushed and wiped out.
01:16:34.000 Well, you're talking about an extreme scenario, obviously, but there is.
01:16:37.000 I disagree.
01:16:38.000 I think we're watching it happen.
01:16:39.000 I think we're watching it happen too.
01:16:40.000 And I also think that there's something to be said for, given the Quaker perspective, right?
01:16:44.000 I had this, I went to a Quaker school and one of my friends was Quaker.
01:16:48.000 And 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.
01:16:57.000 And he turned it around and he said, why is their life more valuable than mine?
01:17:02.000 You know, like, why is anybody's life more valuable than mine if my life is not more valuable than others?
01:17:09.000 So, so you participate in the cycle of violence.
01:17:11.000 Well, or you know, if it's a choice between killing you and someone else, why not just let them kill someone else?
01:17:17.000 Do you know what I mean?
01:17:17.000 Like, you can twist it into any perspective you want.
01:17:21.000 I think people misunderstand the Crusades.
01:17:23.000 I got to say that, you know.
01:17:25.000 There's also a lot, things are a lot worse than death.
01:17:28.000 There are things a lot worse than death.
01:17:29.000 That they can do to your family that I just couldn't let happen.
01:17:31.000 Yeah.
01:17:32.000 I don't think that.
01:17:35.000 And they do.
01:17:36.000 I think it would be almost the antithesis of being a good Christian to stand by as a Muslim slaughtered your family.
01:17:43.000 Yeah, I think the right thing to do would be to slaughter the people trying to slaughter your family.
01:17:47.000 Yep.
01:17:47.000 Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
01:17:49.000 In our lifetime.
01:17:50.000 But for many people, it happens every day.
01:17:53.000 I'm not saying Islam, I'm saying where evil people seek to do us harm.
01:17:57.000 And what did Jesus say?
01:17:59.000 He said, Buy a sword, sell your cloak if you don't have one.
01:18:02.000 And that wasn't a direct statement about the general concept of people should be armed and defend themselves.
01:18:07.000 It was particularly about he was in trouble and they were like, Conflict is coming.
01:18:11.000 And he said, Buy a sword or sell your cloak to buy a sword.
01:18:14.000 I don't know the exact quote.
01:18:15.000 I'm not going to pretend to be a biblical scholar.
01:18:17.000 But I've had a lot of conversations with many different denominations of Christian about this.
01:18:22.000 Typically, I hear from most of them, I think you're the only one I've ever heard say, sit back and let them slaughter your family.
01:18:27.000 Well, I had to really do a lot of research on Michael Dukakis.
01:18:31.000 Michael Dukakis.
01:18:32.000 Is that what he said?
01:18:32.000 No, he kind of had that thing, though, with the revolving door prisons, the furlough, weekend furlough programs.
01:18:39.000 He got slammed for this whole thing where he was like, what if the guy raped your daughter?
01:18:43.000 Wasn't it him?
01:18:43.000 Wasn't that Michael Dukakis?
01:18:45.000 I'm not sure.
01:18:46.000 I don't remember that reference.
01:18:47.000 Was that like the 86 election or something?
01:18:49.000 Yeah, it was something like that.
01:18:50.000 He was there in a tank.
01:18:52.000 He looked dumb in a tank.
01:18:52.000 Oh, yeah.
01:18:53.000 Well, I was too.
01:18:54.000 That was the end of the helmets.
01:18:55.000 Yeah.
01:18:57.000 You never wear a helmet when you're running for president.
01:19:00.000 No, you can't do that.
01:19:02.000 You can do the helmet hair, but not the actual.
01:19:05.000 There was one of Ted Cruz's kids trying to put a hat on his head, and he was like, No, Why?
01:19:13.000 People were like, Whoa, whoa, that's weird.
01:19:14.000 But then someone pointed out, Look, ever since Michael Dukakis was wearing that helmet in the tank, I think he actually had the chin strap.
01:19:21.000 He did.
01:19:21.000 He did.
01:19:22.000 Oh, wow.
01:19:23.000 That was the thing that Ted Cruz was avoiding.
01:19:25.000 He didn't want to have a picture.
01:19:27.000 Because you look what happened to Dean, right?
01:19:29.000 Howard Dean.
01:19:30.000 Howard Dean.
01:19:31.000 That ruined his career.
01:19:33.000 That was his whole thing.
01:19:34.000 There he is.
01:19:35.000 Look at him.
01:19:35.000 He looks ridiculous.
01:19:36.000 Oh my God.
01:19:38.000 But that's something that presidents need to avoid.
01:19:42.000 They have to worry about that kind of stuff.
01:19:44.000 You can't be yourself and run for president.
01:19:46.000 It's going to be wild in 2036 when it's Ocasio Cortez v. Fuentes.
01:19:53.000 That's going to be a thing.
01:19:54.000 And we're going to be like, well, who are you voting for?
01:19:56.000 And it's like, well, I'm not a big fan of Fuentes, but I can't vote for a communist.
01:19:59.000 And she's on the campaign trail with her surrogates carrying her embryos.
01:20:02.000 Flying communist flags.
01:20:04.000 And her surrogates are literal Chinese citizens.
01:20:04.000 Yeah.
01:20:06.000 Yeah, that's right.
01:20:07.000 And she bought them because they were prisoners.
01:20:09.000 And, you know, she just paid for that.
01:20:13.000 You.
01:20:14.000 Anyway.
01:20:14.000 You.
01:20:15.000 Yeah.
01:20:16.000 What were we talking about before I got religious?
01:20:17.000 We were talking about being on an island.
01:20:19.000 Oh, you were saying there's nowhere you can go where you wouldn't be subject.
01:20:21.000 You had another point that you didn't finish, though, because I interrupted you.
01:20:25.000 My arguments are basically they trace back to Tolstoy.
01:20:27.000 He's kind of considered to be the cornerstone for anarcho Christian thought.
01:20:31.000 And 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.
01:20:40.000 It kind of sounds like something a Muslim wrote to trick Christians.
01:20:44.000 Like, did you know that to be a good Christian, you should not fight me when I kill your family?
01:20:49.000 Really?
01:20:50.000 I'm going to kill your family.
01:20:51.000 And if you want to be a good Christian, let me.
01:20:53.000 Listen.
01:20:53.000 Well, okay.
01:20:54.000 Makes sense, I guess.
01:20:55.000 There'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.
01:21:03.000 They're very clear.
01:21:05.000 I mean, like almost impossible to misinterpret.
01:21:07.000 I don't know.
01:21:08.000 I don't think Jesus would want you to sit there and watch your babies get murdered.
01:21:11.000 I wonder if he ever said that.
01:21:13.000 I don't know, but I think otherwise we'd all be cool with abortion, too.
01:21:17.000 That was my point.
01:21:18.000 You know, like, what's the difference?
01:21:20.000 Babies get slaughtered, babies get slaughtered.
01:21:22.000 Same.
01:21:23.000 Well, I mean, it's essentially a conversation about salvation.
01:21:28.000 There are people that are not saved, and there are people that are saved.
01:21:31.000 And I mean, I don't think I would be more saved.
01:21:34.000 I mean, I got to say, if watching my child be slaughtered is what it takes to get to heaven, then I'm going to hell.
01:21:41.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:21:43.000 If Luke 6 29 30, if someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
01:21:47.000 Give to everyone who asks you.
01:21:48.000 And if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
01:21:52.000 But your family doesn't belong to you.
01:21:55.000 You're supposed to protect them.
01:21:56.000 Yes, but the food they need to survive, the water they need to drink as they traverse the desert.
01:22:03.000 And I go to them and say, Actually, Luke says, You got to give me your water.
01:22:07.000 And I'm taking it.
01:22:09.000 And then the man says, But surely my children will die of dehydration.
01:22:12.000 I'll be like, Well, you have to do it.
01:22:14.000 And I've taken it.
01:22:14.000 You can't ask for it back.
01:22:15.000 And he goes, Good point.
01:22:17.000 We're resorting to extreme scenarios that could be easily applied in daily life.
01:22:17.000 Guess I'll die.
01:22:22.000 Extreme?
01:22:23.000 This happens all the time.
01:22:23.000 Yes.
01:22:25.000 I know, but we're talking about worldwide events.
01:22:28.000 I 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.
01:22:37.000 I 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.
01:22:45.000 I don't think it means that when the barbarians are at the gates, you go, All right, everybody, lay down.
01:22:49.000 They're going to rape and kidnap our women and children, and then the men are all dead.
01:22:53.000 So, you love your enemies.
01:22:54.000 What's your take on your enemies?
01:22:55.000 That doesn't mean let them murder your children.
01:22:58.000 No, you can love them and then cry as you kill them because they're going to kill your family.
01:23:03.000 So, what's your take on just like self defense, right?
01:23:06.000 Like, so someone is going to attack you or whatever.
01:23:09.000 Do you defend yourself?
01:23:10.000 The anarcho Christian believes in absolute non resistance to evil by force.
01:23:13.000 Oh, okay.
01:23:14.000 Quaker.
01:23:14.000 Absolute non resistance to evil by force.
01:23:15.000 What's the difference between anarcho Christian and Quaker?
01:23:18.000 I don't know.
01:23:18.000 I'm not familiar with Quakers, quite frankly.
01:23:21.000 So, is the idea like.
01:23:23.000 Islam wipes out all the Christians and then Jesus comes back?
01:23:26.000 There's no scenario where that's going to happen according to my beliefs.
01:23:29.000 What stops Muslims from taking over?
01:23:29.000 I could be mistaken.
01:23:32.000 People that are not anarcho Christians.
01:23:34.000 Ah, the anarcho Christians sit there and watch it.
01:23:37.000 No, no, no.
01:23:38.000 They killed Tim Carter.
01:23:39.000 I mean, listen, listen.
01:23:42.000 There's Christianity in general in this country has been very submissive for 100 plus years.
01:23:48.000 It's been ridiculously submissive.
01:23:49.000 It was submissive in Europe even.
01:23:51.000 What, two or three crusades and like a thousand years of jihad?
01:23:55.000 Yeah, I mean, and even now, like the torching of Notre Dame, yeah, all the churches getting burnt down.
01:23:59.000 So, I don't think it's anarcho Christians, uh, Phil.
01:24:03.000 And I don't think there's enough secular people because they're they like Islam, uh, liberals could be the Jews who stop them.
01:24:10.000 The Jews are good at self defense, that's what I'm saying.
01:24:13.000 They're great at the Jews.
01:24:14.000 This is like it's like Ukraine, basically.
01:24:16.000 They'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.
01:24:26.000 I mean.
01:24:27.000 They're operating actively in this kind of like guerrilla warfare.
01:24:30.000 Obviously, 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.
01:24:40.000 There's like using them as.
01:24:42.000 Hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:24:44.000 There'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.
01:24:53.000 So I don't disagree with you about there's plenty of.
01:24:57.000 You 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.
01:25:08.000 We've got an entire generation of young men that grew up in combat.
01:25:18.000 There 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.
01:25:30.000 There are a lot of combat vets in the United States.
01:25:33.000 You have a good point.
01:25:34.000 I should have specified that this is just kind of like the latest iteration.
01:25:37.000 They are the newest to do it.
01:25:39.000 Sure.
01:25:40.000 And they are defending.
01:25:41.000 Christendom, in a lot of ways.
01:25:43.000 I think so.
01:25:44.000 Yeah.
01:25:45.000 I mean, I don't know that they're.
01:25:47.000 I don't know.
01:25:48.000 Maybe they're doing it like.
01:25:49.000 Indirectly.
01:25:50.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:25:51.000 Yeah, because I don't think that they're thinking, you know.
01:25:51.000 Indirectly.
01:25:53.000 I don't think that's the primary culture.
01:25:54.000 St. Michael, you know.
01:25:56.000 They're not praying to St. Michael before they go into the tunnels in Gaza.
01:26:03.000 But yeah, I mean, I guess that does, you know, the.
01:26:07.000 But there's probably Christians in the IDF.
01:26:09.000 Talk to you, for sure.
01:26:11.000 There's probably Christians in the IDF.
01:26:13.000 Yeah, I mean, I imagine there are fewer.
01:26:16.000 But, 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.
01:26:32.000 I think that that is probably the obvious.
01:26:35.000 The DSA has the DSA's plan is to make the whole thing Palestine with Jerusalem at the center.
01:26:40.000 Their plan is to die because the Muslims are just going to kill them.
01:26:43.000 I mean, you know, Hamas leaders have said that they're just.
01:26:47.000 These useful idiots.
01:26:49.000 All you have to do is look at the Iranian revolution.
01:26:51.000 So, 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?
01:26:59.000 You know, something tells me that's not going to be the reality.
01:27:03.000 I think.
01:27:05.000 I'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.
01:27:11.000 Yeah, I disagree entirely.
01:27:13.000 No, because you go to all the woke people, and then when they're like, you know, we defend Islam, you'd be like, Yes.
01:27:19.000 And then you bring Islamic protesters to like pride events.
01:27:23.000 Right.
01:27:23.000 And then they're going to be like, maybe we don't like this.
01:27:26.000 I 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.
01:27:37.000 But she was working on a piece that she ran and it was about how there are different stages of jihad.
01:27:43.000 And 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.
01:27:56.000 And it's a slow takeover of the society.
01:28:01.000 Let me ask for the Christians in the room.
01:28:03.000 Obviously, you don't agree with the general, like, what's the right, like, spiritual overarching belief system.
01:28:12.000 So it's like you believe in a different God.
01:28:15.000 Of the political system that is Sharia and Islamic law, what don't you like about it?
01:28:20.000 I don't like the treatment of women, the eradication of education.
01:28:24.000 Uh, 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.
01:28:35.000 That's part of the whole jihad thing, yeah.
01:28:37.000 I don't like the uh, forcing people to convert or making them pay a tax.
01:28:42.000 Oh, yeah, what's that?
01:28:43.000 Jizya, Jizya, yeah.
01:28:46.000 There's a lot of different what about what about what about you're a Christian, yeah.
01:28:48.000 I'm not a Christian now.
01:28:49.000 Oh, not a Christian, like an atheist, yeah.
01:28:51.000 My dad's Jewish, my mom's Christian, you're atheist, yeah.
01:28:53.000 Okay, so you're atheist agnostic.
01:28:54.000 I know you.
01:28:57.000 It very well might be.
01:28:58.000 No.
01:28:59.000 You all know way more about Sharia law than I do.
01:29:01.000 Everything that you said, I agree with, and it's a theocracy, which I'm opposed to for obvious reasons.
01:29:07.000 Also, genital mutilation.
01:29:07.000 Yeah.
01:29:09.000 That's a bad one.
01:29:10.000 And everything Libby said, also, it's an authoritarian.
01:29:15.000 Wait, hold on a minute.
01:29:16.000 Dude, they don't.
01:29:19.000 I'm just thinking, it's kind of weird, right?
01:29:21.000 Islam, they cut up girls.
01:29:24.000 And the Jews cut up boys.
01:29:25.000 Yeah.
01:29:26.000 What's going on?
01:29:28.000 These are questions I'm asking myself.
01:29:30.000 Is that how the conflict started?
01:29:30.000 Was that like.
01:29:32.000 The Muslims came in and they're like, what are you doing to that little boy?
01:29:34.000 I'm like, what are you doing to those girls?
01:29:36.000 And they're like, ah! Fighting each other?
01:29:37.000 I was under the impression that that didn't happen.
01:29:39.000 Like in the Middle East, they don't do that, but they do that kind of in Africa.
01:29:43.000 I think it's like in the Sahel, it's pretty big.
01:29:46.000 But also Michigan.
01:29:47.000 Wow.
01:29:48.000 Yeah, that.
01:29:48.000 Michigan, Africa.
01:29:51.000 There's been some cases where the judge has decided, I believe in Michigan, might have been Minnesota.
01:29:58.000 Also, honor killings.
01:29:59.000 Honor killings, totally bad plan.
01:30:01.000 I don't like the thing where if someone shows a cartoon of Muhammad, you torch their entire office.
01:30:07.000 Like in Saudi Arabia, they're doing these things?
01:30:09.000 I don't know.
01:30:10.000 I think Saudi Arabia is the last Summer Ops Square where they go into.
01:30:14.000 In Saudi Arabia, women are allowed to drive now.
01:30:16.000 So that's new.
01:30:17.000 That's been for a few years, though.
01:30:18.000 Yeah.
01:30:18.000 Yeah.
01:30:19.000 Still relatively new.
01:30:20.000 We're 1,000.
01:30:21.000 Yeah, but in Saudi Arabia, you can take like a wad of a stack of $100 bills and put it just outside on your Lampa?
01:30:29.000 No, on the ground and no one will touch it.
01:30:31.000 That's because they cut the ends off.
01:30:32.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:30:33.000 It's Hammurabi.
01:30:34.000 It's the whole Hammurabi thing.
01:30:35.000 Eye for an eye.
01:30:36.000 Well, Sharia would destroy the economy, it would destroy capitalism in the West because.
01:30:41.000 Our whole economic system is ultimately built upon interest.
01:30:44.000 And so if you can't loan money or borrow money, we're kind of screwed.
01:30:47.000 That's my biggest issue.
01:30:48.000 That's my biggest issue.
01:30:49.000 That's my biggest issue.
01:30:51.000 Yeah, I mean, they kind of, their economies are.
01:30:51.000 Oil.
01:30:53.000 Instead of little silver pellets, it's not a lot of money.
01:30:55.000 If you look at the Islamic countries that are sitting on oil, those are the ones that are advanced and blah, blah, blah.
01:31:01.000 You look at Afghanistan, you look at the Islamic countries in Africa that don't have oil.
01:31:07.000 They're all basket cases.
01:31:09.000 Yeah, it's all just because of oil.
01:31:11.000 Well, and Yemen is a disaster.
01:31:13.000 All those places.
01:31:14.000 Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with all the warring between them and Saudi Arabia.
01:31:18.000 It has a lot to do with the massive death.
01:31:20.000 Yeah.
01:31:21.000 The creation of a population that's mostly under 30.
01:31:25.000 Never going to do well.
01:31:26.000 No.
01:31:27.000 But yeah, it's not that they have good economies or whatever.
01:31:30.000 It's they're sitting on liquid gold.
01:31:32.000 You know what?
01:31:33.000 I'll throw this out there to the chatters if you want to throw in some super chats.
01:31:37.000 I'm genuinely asking of the political system, throw in your concerns and criticisms of it.
01:31:42.000 The reason I bring that up is because.
01:31:45.000 The thing they promote that you'll see a lot of Muslims promote about Sharia law are the things that conservatives do like.
01:31:51.000 Like, no crime is like the easy example.
01:31:54.000 So, I'm interested in the finer arguments of why don't they like it.
01:31:57.000 I wonder would conservatives like chopping off hands for stealing?
01:32:02.000 Well, my whole thing is like in the United States, our ethos is that we trade safety for liberty.
01:32:07.000 And so, we're willing to accept a slightly less safe society, and let's say the case of gun rights.
01:32:12.000 So, are we willing to go all the way and make our society super safe?
01:32:16.000 By enforcing these like extremely harsh consequences on it, I don't think our society is that way.
01:32:21.000 I 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.
01:32:30.000 And by demand, we do so.
01:32:31.000 People are screaming and demanding it.
01:32:33.000 Keep giving more of it up.
01:32:34.000 Yeah.
01:32:35.000 Fly cameras.
01:32:36.000 We give it up for convenience generally.
01:32:38.000 Like the people that have, you know, it's not a conscious choice, right?
01:32:42.000 Well, I mean, it probably not.
01:32:44.000 Because all of the, like, they're obviously the cameras and stuff like that.
01:32:48.000 That's something that's bad.
01:32:49.000 But 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.
01:32:57.000 And while he was making good points, I still don't, I am not convinced by the argument for clock cameras.
01:33:04.000 But at the same time, I'm walking around with a microphone and a camera that could be turned on at any time.
01:33:11.000 And I would have no idea that someone just has to know how to actually access it.
01:33:15.000 And most of us do.
01:33:17.000 The vast majority, I think 95% of Americans have a smartphone nowadays.
01:33:22.000 So 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.
01:33:32.000 And you can tell they're not because they have these tools.
01:33:35.000 You can opt out if you want to, right?
01:33:39.000 You can say, I don't need a cell phone, or I don't go out of the house with a cell phone.
01:33:44.000 I think it's probably pretty hard to find landlines now, but you could have a cell phone and just leave it at home.
01:33:50.000 And when you go out and leave, you can have an old vehicle that doesn't have computer chips in it.
01:33:55.000 Now, obviously, this is not an easy thing.
01:33:57.000 You can print out your MapQuest because you can't even buy a map at the gas station anymore.
01:34:00.000 Yeah.
01:34:01.000 I mean, so it is possible.
01:34:03.000 My mom hoards her maps.
01:34:05.000 Good for her.
01:34:06.000 I know.
01:34:07.000 It's cute.
01:34:08.000 But, you know, the idea that people are strongly against these things, they're against them when they first hear about them.
01:34:15.000 Like when the Xbox 360 first came out, it was always connected to the internet.
01:34:20.000 That camera.
01:34:21.000 And I was like, I'm not buying that.
01:34:23.000 I'm never blah, Three years later, I was like, all right, whatever.
01:34:27.000 You know, because I had, by that time, I had an iPhone.
01:34:30.000 And I was like, well, you know, whatever.
01:34:32.000 You know?
01:34:32.000 It's fine.
01:34:34.000 It becomes a situation where the convenience outweighs the intrusion.
01:34:39.000 And Gen Z and Gen Alpha don't have the same concept of privacy that someone my age does, right?
01:34:45.000 I'm 51.
01:34:46.000 And so, like, the idea of privacy when I was a kid, I would get on my bike and leave.
01:34:52.000 Nobody knew where I was.
01:34:54.000 It was, that was good stuff.
01:34:55.000 It was like literally like there was no tracking system, none of that stuff.
01:34:55.000 Yeah.
01:35:01.000 The cameras weren't everywhere.
01:35:02.000 So, like, I understand.
01:35:04.000 In college, we had a hall phone.
01:35:06.000 What?
01:35:07.000 In college, we had a hall phone.
01:35:09.000 Oh, yeah.
01:35:09.000 Like a phone down the hall with no answering machine.
01:35:12.000 I remember what payphones were like, you know?
01:35:14.000 In fact, I think when I started touring, payphones still existed.
01:35:17.000 My first apartment, our phone was the payphone outside.
01:35:22.000 But, but, Jen, like in Spider Man.
01:35:24.000 I mean, I don't know.
01:35:26.000 I don't know.
01:35:27.000 I've never used the payphone in my life.
01:35:29.000 My girlfriend's.
01:35:30.000 No.
01:35:30.000 You never used the payphone?
01:35:31.000 So back in the day, there was this trick.
01:35:33.000 It was called 511ing a phone.
01:35:35.000 Yeah.
01:35:35.000 You guys know this one?
01:35:36.000 If you dialed 511 and then the phone number, it would click and then click.
01:35:39.000 If you hung up, the phone would ring.
01:35:41.000 Oh, 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.
01:35:50.000 It'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.
01:35:55.000 We used to, I used to do the thing where I'd call my family collect, and they would pick up the phone.
01:36:01.000 Oh, 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.
01:36:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:36:08.000 You'd want 100 collect, and it would be like, Would you like to receive a collect call from?
01:36:11.000 I'm at the park, I need a ride home, bye.
01:36:16.000 You know, and Pete, like, you know, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, like, it's normal to have the location service on for you and all your friends.
01:36:25.000 So you can, I know people that are just like, oh, like, they look at their phone and they're like, where is this person?
01:36:30.000 And my brother has that.
01:36:31.000 And actually, my brother and I have, we have shared location.
01:36:35.000 And I can tell you a story.
01:36:37.000 Let me tell you a story.
01:36:37.000 I'm where my parents are, and they are elderly.
01:36:39.000 Always turn on location on your device, shared location.
01:36:43.000 Because when we were in Vegas, I think it was Brandon.
01:36:49.000 I think he forgot, he left his phone at a machine or something, and someone found it.
01:36:53.000 And so then he's like, he went to go look for it, it was gone.
01:36:56.000 But our security guy was like, We have shared location on.
01:36:58.000 So he turned on his phone and an arrow points in the direction of his phone.
01:37:01.000 And then we walked up and there was a door and it stops and we're like, It's in this room.
01:37:05.000 And it was a security room.
01:37:06.000 The security guys picked it up and put it in the room.
01:37:07.000 And then they're like, Ah, here you go.
01:37:09.000 That's why shared location is amazing.
01:37:10.000 Yeah.
01:37:11.000 How old are you, by the way?
01:37:12.000 21.
01:37:13.000 Man.
01:37:13.000 Yeah.
01:37:14.000 I don't share my location with anyone.
01:37:15.000 No, no, I'm just saying it sucks because when I was a kid, it sucks for you.
01:37:20.000 You missed the golden age.
01:37:21.000 Like my parents and like the Gen X people and the older people were like, Nobody was talking about how the 80s were technologically better.
01:37:21.000 I know.
01:37:28.000 They were like, oh, cool new thing, cool new thing.
01:37:30.000 The new video game counts, so amazing.
01:37:32.000 Now it's the future, and everyone's like, the 90s were so good.
01:37:36.000 So, in the 90s, everybody was excited for new stuff.
01:37:38.000 And then in the 2000s, people were like, it's okay.
01:37:40.000 Now everybody wants to go back to the 90s.
01:37:42.000 Mostly once we got laptops and I was good.
01:37:45.000 Like, all I wanted when I was a kid, like, my mom always had this collection of cigar boxes.
01:37:49.000 And me and my friend Julia would turn them into like fake laptops because it was before laptops.
01:37:53.000 And we'd pretend we were on a spaceship.
01:37:55.000 We'd like put tin foil in and we'd make like little levers and everything.
01:37:59.000 And so, all I ever really wanted was a laptop.
01:38:02.000 And so then, once I got a laptop in 1993, I got an Acer Anywhere computer.
01:38:08.000 My dad bought it for me, or 94, whenever I got it.
01:38:10.000 Who knows?
01:38:11.000 It was awesome.
01:38:12.000 And then I was happy.
01:38:13.000 What did you do in 94?
01:38:14.000 And I was very happy.
01:38:15.000 Yeah, it was good.
01:38:16.000 Awesome.
01:38:17.000 2008 is when it all fell apart.
01:38:20.000 2008 everything.
01:38:20.000 That was the ubiquity of internet.
01:38:22.000 Yeah, internet and the housing bubble.
01:38:25.000 2008 was when everybody had the internet in their pocket.
01:38:29.000 So before 2008, I didn't get mine until 2000.
01:38:32.000 It was 07, the iPhone comes out, and it was pretty crummy.
01:38:35.000 Like it worked, and you could go on Facebook.
01:38:37.000 And I remember being on a train in Chicago.
01:38:38.000 I was on an L, and my friend had just gotten one, like the very first iPhone.
01:38:42.000 And they were like, dude, look, Facebook.
01:38:43.000 And they were scrolling, and I was like, wow, that's crazy.
01:38:46.000 Because it used to be before this, I had a singular rocker.
01:38:51.000 I don't know if you guys know what the rocker is.
01:38:52.000 It had speakers in it, it was a candy bar phone, and you could send texts.
01:38:56.000 I had AIM, AOL Instant Message around there, and it was 10 cents per message.
01:39:00.000 So I remember we racked up an $8,000 bill once.
01:39:03.000 Well, because it told us it had unlimited messages.
01:39:06.000 In our plan?
01:39:07.000 It was a good lie.
01:39:08.000 But then they said, no, no, because AIM doesn't count as messages.
01:39:10.000 And we were like, what?
01:39:11.000 And it was a really weird web app.
01:39:13.000 But for the most part, you couldn't really stop, sit down, load the app, and then, like, you didn't do it.
01:39:19.000 So 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?
01:39:31.000 Nah.
01:39:31.000 Was this in New York?
01:39:32.000 No, Chicago.
01:39:33.000 And there's no internet.
01:39:35.000 So I'd wake up, I'd go online, check my email, see what's going on.
01:39:35.000 So you were in New York?
01:39:39.000 Then I'd go outside and I'd go do stuff all day, having no idea what's happening in the world.
01:39:43.000 None's the wiser.
01:39:44.000 No anxiety.
01:39:45.000 Then you'd get home, you'd check the internet, see your messages, talk to people, and go to bed.
01:39:49.000 Sometimes you'd get home and then you'd pull up A1 as a messenger and somebody'd be like, I got five messages from a friend.
01:39:55.000 They'd be like, yo, party, party, party, where you at?
01:39:57.000 And I'd be like, oh man, am I too late?
01:39:59.000 And then I'd message him back and I'd be like, well, I'm going to show up anyway.
01:40:01.000 And then you make it.
01:40:02.000 Today, everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time.
01:40:05.000 I don't know.
01:40:06.000 I still miss parties.
01:40:07.000 Like just yesterday, I checked my signal and I'd been invited to something and I was like, Oh, that was two weeks ago.
01:40:12.000 I just had an idea.
01:40:12.000 Old people parties are whack.
01:40:14.000 I don't want to go to an old person party.
01:40:15.000 I don't even know what it was.
01:40:16.000 Let me tell you something.
01:40:19.000 We have parties, and parties for us, it's like, oh, we're going to do a big event.
01:40:23.000 You should come.
01:40:24.000 And it's like people in suits, and there's a bar, and there's like hors d'oeuvres, and everyone just talks.
01:40:28.000 And the music's really loud, and you can't really talk.
01:40:31.000 Parties 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?
01:40:45.000 Yeah.
01:40:45.000 Yeah.
01:40:46.000 See, that's a fun party.
01:40:47.000 I used to throw some killer parties.
01:40:49.000 Those were good people.
01:40:49.000 Yeah.
01:40:50.000 You need a party with us.
01:40:51.000 We only hang out with old people.
01:40:53.000 Yeah.
01:40:53.000 Everybody.
01:40:54.000 Everybody's retired, old.
01:40:55.000 We go to a party, we're playing bingo and playing trivia.
01:40:57.000 It's the best.
01:40:59.000 I'm telling you, I'm a big proponent of that.
01:41:02.000 I'm saying, you go to parties in my 20s, you walk in, everybody's jumping to like a song, the whole floor.
01:41:09.000 That was gonna break.
01:41:10.000 And then there's like, you know, in my day, everyone in Chicago, so everyone's singing Alkaline Trio every song.
01:41:10.000 Press parties were good.
01:41:16.000 You walk in, run from the front door, and then all of a sudden you'll hear like Goodbye Forever come on.
01:41:21.000 And then all of a sudden, everyone in the party is screaming and singing, they're holding beers, everyone's getting drunk.
01:41:26.000 Now, I go to a party and there's like a guy in a suit and he's got like his wife and she's well dressed.
01:41:30.000 And they're like, a guy walks by and he's got little, like, deep fried little rice patties, little tuna tartar.
01:41:35.000 I'm not knocking the paste hors d'oeuvres.
01:41:36.000 Those are great.
01:41:37.000 They're delicious.
01:41:38.000 I'm just saying it's different.
01:41:39.000 No, I mean, when I used to go to like the art openings or whatever, there'd be paste hors d'oeuvres.
01:41:42.000 I would, I would like go to the art openings to eat a free dinner.
01:41:47.000 You know, I'd be like, I gotta be honest though, like, at the same time, stand by the kids.
01:41:51.000 The reality is there was a time and a place for those kinds of parties.
01:41:54.000 I'm more like, everything I do has a purpose, whereas back then it didn't.
01:41:58.000 So it didn't matter if you went to one of those parties.
01:42:00.000 Like, so when I'm 22, I'm like, I'm going to go to a party and just, you know, slime a bunch of beer and then party, sing.
01:42:07.000 And then tomorrow, who knows?
01:42:08.000 Today, it's like, nah, we're filming a vlog tomorrow.
01:42:11.000 So I've got my gear, it's set up.
01:42:13.000 Like, I got stuff to do that I want to do.
01:42:15.000 In hindsight, if I had this mentality when I was 20, I'd probably be a billionaire, you know?
01:42:19.000 I used to, I had that mindset, and I'm not a billionaire.
01:42:23.000 I don't think I'm ever going to be a billionaire.
01:42:25.000 But like, I would go to parties.
01:42:26.000 No, I don't know what I'm saying.
01:42:27.000 I would stay up all night, and then I would make it to work on time.
01:42:29.000 But that's what I'm saying right now is the reason why I don't go to those parties is because I'm like, You're doing other stuff.
01:42:34.000 What am I going to do tomorrow that adds another brick to the, another layer?
01:42:37.000 You know what I mean?
01:42:38.000 Back then it was like, yeah, the party's the party, man, you know?
01:42:38.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:42:40.000 And then tomorrow we'll wake up, we'll figure it out.
01:42:42.000 Today it's like, no, no, I got my plan set up for the next several months.
01:42:42.000 Sure.
01:42:45.000 Like we have a calendar of all the shows we're doing.
01:42:47.000 Nice.
01:42:48.000 I'm not going to a little party.
01:42:49.000 I get invited to a party on the weekend and I'm like, are you nuts?
01:42:51.000 Sunday I'm waking up and I'm going to have breakfast and that's my day to relax, to recharge for the week because I have stuff to do.
01:42:57.000 Back then it was like, if I go to a party, I'll just call in sick.
01:43:00.000 I never would call in sick after party.
01:43:01.000 I would always make sure that I was ready for the morning.
01:43:04.000 Well, I worked at Jamba Juice, so.
01:43:05.000 Take full advantage of your 20s.
01:43:07.000 I' I'm trying.
01:43:09.000 My advice to you is to be as arrogant as you can, but professionally.
01:43:13.000 I'll tell you a story.
01:43:13.000 Why do you say that?
01:43:14.000 What's that?
01:43:15.000 Why do you say that?
01:43:16.000 Man, the 20 year olds I meet in this industry, I don't want to say unimpressed, but I'm worried.
01:43:25.000 Well, I'm worried if you're a 20 year old in this industry.
01:43:27.000 No offense.
01:43:28.000 I'll tell you a couple of stories.
01:43:30.000 So I worked at a Jamba Juice, and I also play music.
01:43:34.000 And so I think I was 20 going on 21 when I lived in Lakeview.
01:43:39.000 So, I make smoothies all day and I go to my bass and I'm like, hey, in two weeks, I'm playing a show at the Ashbury.
01:43:47.000 I didn't actually say the Ashbury, but it's for everybody who's listening.
01:43:49.000 That's where I was playing the show.
01:43:50.000 I was like, in two weeks, I'm playing a show on Saturday.
01:43:53.000 So, I'm not going to be able to work Saturday.
01:43:56.000 I can work the morning, but then I got to leave because I got to be there by six.
01:43:59.000 And so, I'm going to do the shows until like 3 a.m.
01:44:01.000 So, I'm out.
01:44:02.000 And she's like, okay, no problem.
01:44:04.000 When they put the schedule for that week, I went and checked and it had me opening on Sunday.
01:44:10.000 That means I got to get there at 5 a.m.
01:44:12.000 And so I immediately, like, the manager wasn't in when I get there.
01:44:15.000 And I'm like, yo, what?
01:44:16.000 I already said I can't do this.
01:44:18.000 So then, you know, this is when I was, yeah, I was like 20.
01:44:22.000 So then, when I finally, a couple of days later, we're on the same shift.
01:44:25.000 And I was like, hey, you scheduled me for Sunday morning.
01:44:27.000 I told you I was playing a show that until like 3 a.m., I can't do it.
01:44:30.000 And she goes, well, you're scheduled, so you have to come.
01:44:33.000 And I said, I don't think you understand.
01:44:35.000 I told you I cannot come.
01:44:37.000 I won't be here.
01:44:37.000 Okay.
01:44:38.000 And she's like, you're scheduled to be here.
01:44:40.000 And if you don't want this job, let me know.
01:44:42.000 I was like, okay.
01:44:43.000 I took my apron.
01:44:43.000 I was like, no, stop, stop.
01:44:44.000 And I'm like, my life, what I'm planning is more important than what you're trying to do to me.
01:44:49.000 Have a nice day.
01:44:49.000 I appreciate everything.
01:44:50.000 And I walked out and I quit on the spot.
01:44:52.000 And that was a Wednesday.
01:44:53.000 I was like, later.
01:44:54.000 I didn't have a job.
01:44:55.000 I quit on the spot one time too.
01:44:57.000 I was interning for this theater company and I was doing all this work.
01:45:00.000 And then they had me, I gave notice and then they had me train someone who was getting paid.
01:45:04.000 And I was just interning.
01:45:05.000 I wasn't getting paid.
01:45:06.000 And I realized they were getting paid.
01:45:08.000 And I was like, oh, okay.
01:45:10.000 So at the lunch break, I dropped a hit of acid and walked out.
01:45:15.000 That's how we do it.
01:45:16.000 That's how we roll.
01:45:17.000 I guess what I mean about the arrogance is so I worked at Vice in 2013.
01:45:22.000 And I was then 20, I was 26 going on 27, I think.
01:45:25.000 Actually, no, I think I started when I was 27.
01:45:27.000 I would have been 27.
01:45:28.000 I don't actually know.
01:45:29.000 I think so.
01:45:30.000 And I had no problem walking up to any of the executives.
01:45:35.000 Like, it's just crazy to me.
01:45:37.000 At 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.
01:45:44.000 And I was like, Why don't you just ask Shane?
01:45:47.000 And he's like, What?
01:45:48.000 Shane was a CEO.
01:45:49.000 And I'm like, There's like 300 people in this building, bro.
01:45:52.000 Shane walks through every single day.
01:45:53.000 Just walk up to him.
01:45:54.000 Just tell him you want to do this project.
01:45:56.000 And he's like, Oh, I can't do that.
01:45:57.000 I was like, Huh?
01:45:58.000 Did you read that article from Mitchell?
01:46:00.000 It's amazing.
01:46:01.000 He nailed it completely.
01:46:02.000 Everything he said was, it's like, I've never seen a better article outlining exactly how things went down and why they went down.
01:46:08.000 That dude, well written too.
01:46:09.000 He knows it all.
01:46:10.000 I read that and I was like, so he was an intern when I got hired and then he stayed after I had left.
01:46:16.000 So he had been there before me as an intern and he was there after me as a staffer.
01:46:20.000 And this is an article about advice.
01:46:21.000 I tweeted about it and he just perfectly nailed it.
01:46:23.000 This is really important.
01:46:26.000 What he wrote Joe Rogan.
01:46:29.000 Is a bro.
01:46:30.000 Barstool, they're bros.
01:46:31.000 Outkick, they're bros.
01:46:33.000 And Vice, they're bros.
01:46:34.000 And Shane Smith was the king of the space.
01:46:38.000 And they got really big.
01:46:39.000 And when the corporate interests came, they said, You have to be woke.
01:46:44.000 And it wasn't about him going woke.
01:46:45.000 That's what Mitchell said.
01:46:46.000 It's about him wanting to please people and be what the media wanted him to be.
01:46:50.000 He was jealous of teen Vogue.
01:46:52.000 So 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.
01:47:03.000 And Mitchell said, and Joe Rogan and Portnoy and Travis, they stayed true and sold and cashed out.
01:47:09.000 But 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?
01:47:15.000 Like, what you're working on?
01:47:16.000 And who am I?
01:47:18.000 Right.
01:47:18.000 But all these other people at the company were like terrified to talk to the bosses.
01:47:23.000 So I'm like, young people got to be more arrogant.
01:47:25.000 I mean, maybe it's more confidence than arrogance.
01:47:30.000 I think you don't want to be unprofessionally arrogant, but more than confidence, more than confidence.
01:47:37.000 Because 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.
01:47:52.000 If 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.
01:47:59.000 You'd think, yeah, he's gonna be like, you can leave.
01:48:02.000 But if you go to the boss and say, listen, with all due respect, I know what I'm talking about, okay?
01:48:06.000 Right?
01:48:07.000 I know you know your space, you've built something tremendous.
01:48:10.000 What I'm doing is going to make millions of dollars.
01:48:12.000 Now, you can be involved in my project.
01:48:14.000 Then they're going to be like, all right, all right, tell me what you got going on.
01:48:16.000 Confident is, hey, I want to make this pitch to you.
01:48:18.000 I know it's going to work.
01:48:19.000 They're going to be like, yeah, yeah, listen, buddy, I hear this all the time.
01:48:22.000 Arrogant is where you're getting their attention, just as long as you're not condescending or insultingly arrogant.
01:48:26.000 Understood.
01:48:27.000 But I say this when I worked at Vice, everything we're doing right here, I pitched to the executives.
01:48:31.000 Well, 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.
01:48:40.000 So just go with it.
01:48:40.000 Yeah.
01:48:42.000 It's better.
01:48:44.000 I was at Vice and I explained exactly this show to them.
01:48:49.000 And they said, Yeah, I mean, that'd be great.
01:48:51.000 And then they just didn't want to do it.
01:48:53.000 And then when I quit, everybody was shocked because I quit mid 2014 when Vice was at their peak.
01:48:53.000 And I said, yeah, whatever.
01:49:01.000 And everybody in my age was like, are you insane?
01:49:04.000 You were a correspondent for Vice.
01:49:07.000 And I was like, yeah.
01:49:09.000 I have numerous Vice stocks with millions of views.
01:49:12.000 At the time, this was the dream of every millennial.
01:49:14.000 Sure.
01:49:14.000 I was getting emails from people be like, I want to work with you.
01:49:16.000 How do I do it?
01:49:18.000 I did the Kim.com thing.
01:49:19.000 It got like 5 million views overnight.
01:49:21.000 And people were like, man, it's so cool.
01:49:23.000 And then I quit.
01:49:24.000 And then people asked me why.
01:49:26.000 And I said, well, I hired Vice to do a job for me in exchange for my value and labor.
01:49:31.000 And they didn't do the job.
01:49:32.000 So I fired them.
01:49:34.000 And the mentality of the millennial was like, but you worked for them.
01:49:39.000 No, I went to the executives before I started there and said, here's what I want.
01:49:43.000 And in exchange for what I want, I will give you something in return.
01:49:46.000 And then when they didn't deliver within three months, I had a meeting with the boss.
01:49:49.000 And I said, performance review.
01:49:51.000 I said, listen, I have been holding up my end of the bargain.
01:49:54.000 Y'all haven't been holding up your end of the bargain.
01:49:57.000 I expect these things.
01:49:59.000 And I think I have delivered on my end.
01:50:01.000 And so they said, okay, okay, give me more money.
01:50:04.000 So, in a sign of good faith, we're going to give you a raise.
01:50:07.000 Go talk to the producer.
01:50:08.000 We're going to get these things done.
01:50:10.000 Then we had some movement and it was like half-assed.
01:50:12.000 Another meeting.
01:50:14.000 We're sorry.
01:50:15.000 Bring in Jim.
01:50:16.000 We'll get it done.
01:50:17.000 And then finally, the third instance, I just said, you're fired.
01:50:20.000 And then I get a call from one of the bosses and he's like, what do you mean you quit?
01:50:23.000 And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I appreciate everything you guys did for me.
01:50:26.000 It's not working out.
01:50:27.000 So, You know, I'll be moving on.
01:50:29.000 And then he was like, No, no, no, no, you don't quit.
01:50:32.000 You don't quit.
01:50:33.000 And I was like, No, I quit and I actually cashed the check already.
01:50:35.000 So I'm working for Fusion.
01:50:37.000 And then he was like, No, this isn't over.
01:50:40.000 And I said, It's over, brother.
01:50:42.000 Thank you.
01:50:43.000 Have a nice day.
01:50:43.000 And he's like, I'm going to call you back.
01:50:44.000 And then he never did.
01:50:47.000 You got to go out there and you got to know what you're doing, man.
01:50:47.000 Yep.
01:50:50.000 But pretend that you do.
01:50:52.000 You can also fake it.
01:50:53.000 Well, faking is a lot of it for the most part.
01:50:55.000 Yeah.
01:50:55.000 But you know, the thing is, I actually had the inverse of that.
01:50:58.000 In that there are people who fake it till they make it.
01:51:01.000 My thing was that I actually was wrong a lot, but I was just so damn sure of myself.
01:51:06.000 The 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.
01:51:15.000 And 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.
01:51:29.000 I would be making, I'd probably be living in a two bedroom bungalow.
01:51:33.000 With a very, very small net worth, and they'd be making bank off of my ideas and all the work that I did.
01:51:38.000 But you know what?
01:51:39.000 At the time, I was more than happy.
01:51:40.000 I was like, let's make some cool stuff happen.
01:51:43.000 And then they told me no.
01:51:44.000 And then I went to Fusion, and Fusion was like, no.
01:51:45.000 And then I was like, fine, I'll do it myself.
01:51:49.000 And I, you know, put on the podcasting gauntlet, collected all the podcast stones, you know, and then here we are.
01:51:57.000 Managed to not electrocute any dogs?
01:52:00.000 Well, actually, there was this one time where, no.
01:52:03.000 Nope.
01:52:04.000 It was cats.
01:52:05.000 Yeah, we would juggle cats.
01:52:06.000 All right, everybody, we're going to head over to the uncensored portion of the show in 10 minutes.
01:52:11.000 So get those chats and rumble rants.
01:52:12.000 And we're going to grab your rumble rants and super chats right now.
01:52:14.000 Before we do, we got another sponsor.
01:52:16.000 It is Keat.io.
01:52:19.000 My friends, I got a question for you.
01:52:22.000 Why should your messaging app need to know anything about you?
01:52:25.000 And I have asked myself this on so many different apps that I've used.
01:52:29.000 Why do I need to sign into this?
01:52:31.000 Why do I have to give you my information or connect to my accounts?
01:52:34.000 Most of us have already accepted that technology companies collect enormous amounts of information.
01:52:39.000 What we click, where we go, what we buy, who we interact with, what information is valuable because your attention is valuable.
01:52:45.000 Keat takes a radically different approach.
01:52:48.000 It's a free messaging, file sharing, and video calling app built peer to peer.
01:52:51.000 No centralized company database holding your conversations.
01:52:54.000 No metadata tracking.

01:52:58.000 Your messages are end to end encrypted and move between the people in the conversation.

01:53:19.000 You don't need an email.
01:53:20.000 There's no trackers, none of that.
01:53:21.000 It's encrypted, no centralized database, peer to peer, free on all the app stores.
01:53:26.000 Check it out.
01:53:28.000 Shout out.
01:53:28.000 Thanks for sponsoring the show.
01:53:29.000 That's always great.
01:53:31.000 I got to give a shout out to Keith.
01:53:33.000 You know, look, they're buying a sponsorship from us, and the app is free to use.
01:53:37.000 Like, they're not profiting off of it in that direct way.
01:53:39.000 So I respect that.
01:53:41.000 They do what they say they do.
01:53:43.000 Let's see what you guys want to say.
01:53:46.000 GI Jeep says, Happy NFA Day.
01:53:48.000 It is a glorious day.
01:53:51.000 I got two silencers on the way to my.
01:53:51.000 Big day.
01:53:54.000 You got what?
01:53:55.000 Two cans, two suppressors.
01:53:57.000 The Maxim Silencer, which was the first patented suppressor, was called the Maxim Silencer.
01:54:05.000 But yeah, I've got two cans heading to my local FFL to fill out the 4473 and nothing else.
01:54:13.000 AK Storm says What started all this with Sophie Cunningham saying men shouldn't play women's sports?
01:54:17.000 I wonder what would happen if she thanks the NBA for doing just that.
01:54:21.000 That's the play.
01:54:22.000 If, like, this is the double edged sword.
01:54:24.000 If they keep Royce White and Dennis Cantor out, then everyone's going to be like, we won.
01:54:30.000 But I got to be honest, I think the progressives are going to avoid this issue.
01:54:33.000 Yep.
01:54:34.000 The Democratic PAC did an analysis on Trump's they them ad and found a three to five point voter swing.
01:54:43.000 And I think GLAAD found a drop in support for trans issues by like 8%.
01:54:48.000 Oh, yeah.
01:54:49.000 And they found a huge drop in support in Hollywood.
01:54:52.000 In fact, there were no.
01:54:54.000 Children's shows with trans or LGBTQ themes last year.
01:55:01.000 How horrible.
01:55:02.000 I know.
01:55:02.000 They were super disappointed.
01:55:04.000 And I was glad, just like Glad wasn't.
01:55:08.000 General 45K says, I'm sorry the views are down.
01:55:10.000 So I'll do what I can to help you guys out in addition to the Discord.
01:55:13.000 Love the show.
01:55:14.000 Well, I will just say this it's not a bad thing.
01:55:18.000 It's every four years.
01:55:19.000 Benny Johnson made a great point.
01:55:20.000 He's like, so the New York Times and a bunch of outlets copied the story where they're trying to smear.
01:55:25.000 All of the people in the space, like, look how down their views are.
01:55:29.000 And it's like, he said, that's like saying football viewer, soccer viewership is down following the World Cup.
01:55:34.000 Like, we had a presidential election, everybody had massive views.
01:55:38.000 Now we're moving into the off cycle, and views go down.
01:55:43.000 Where our viewership right now is comparable to where it was in 2022.
01:55:46.000 So it's just kind of like, this is what happens.
01:55:48.000 However, overall, our viewership is up.
01:55:52.000 So Tim Cast IRL, of course, its viewership is down from where it was a year ago.
01:55:56.000 It'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.
01:56:02.000 But 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.
01:56:07.000 The 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.
01:56:14.000 What 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.
01:56:23.000 So our viewership across the board has been massive.
01:56:25.000 We've got clips on Facebook now with millions of views.
01:56:29.000 So that's just our Facebook's been getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
01:56:32.000 And people might say, yeah, but Facebook is, well, look, man, it is what it is.
01:56:37.000 The demographics are largely similar.
01:56:37.000 The views are there.
01:56:39.000 They're only a little bit older.
01:56:41.000 So it's like late 30s on Facebook where YouTube is low 30s, early 30s.
01:56:46.000 But we're making more and more money across the board.
01:56:48.000 Facebook just launched this new creator program where if you have at least a million followers, they guarantee you $3K a month just because.
01:56:55.000 Really?
01:56:56.000 Free money.
01:56:57.000 Yeah, it's called like the Creator Fast Track program or something.
01:56:59.000 And then X just announced that they're doing the new creator program starting in September, which I fully expect.
01:57:06.000 You heard it here.
01:57:08.000 X creators are probably going to get massive viewership and make insane money.
01:57:13.000 Actually, I should just say it straight to Elon.
01:57:13.000 I'm going to say this.
01:57:16.000 You're only going to make money on X if you produce original content, articles, videos.
01:57:21.000 If you're just reposting someone else's content, you don't get money off it anymore.
01:57:25.000 So, this was like, you know, Nikita was beer.
01:57:28.000 Yeah, beer.
01:57:29.000 He was removing all these accounts for doing it.
01:57:31.000 They formalized it.
01:57:32.000 Now, a lot of accounts will just quote tweet, generate a lot of engagement, and then they're like, that's not enough.
01:57:38.000 You got to do a little bit more than that.
01:57:40.000 If 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.
01:57:52.000 Original content.
01:57:53.000 The reposters are eliminated from that.
01:57:55.000 That concentration of ad revenue is going to be spread out amongst those producing, and there's very few who do.
01:58:01.000 And we're one of the biggest ones.
01:58:03.000 We post a lot of my clips from Timcast, they are posted on X like three or four times a day.
01:58:07.000 And then this show is live on X. If they algorithmically prioritize that, two things happen monetary consolidation.
01:58:13.000 So that means that the money we would normally get is going to be 10X because fewer people get it.
01:58:18.000 And with an algorithmic push, our viewership is going to go way up, and then our share of the money is going to be even greater.
01:58:23.000 The best thing X can do right now, I think, is to promote original content.
01:58:29.000 What is killing the platform, and they've already noticed this, is all the regurgitated garbage content.
01:58:33.000 I pointed this out earlier in this year.
01:58:36.000 All these conservatives turn into aggregation channels.
01:58:38.000 There are individuals.
01:58:40.000 You know what?
01:58:40.000 I'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.
01:58:49.000 And it was like a clip every 10 minutes of just some random news thing.
01:58:53.000 That is boring.
01:58:54.000 And I'm uninterested in that.
01:58:56.000 Well, 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.
01:59:02.000 There's no original commentary whatsoever.
01:59:04.000 And 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.
01:59:11.000 Did they make that change?
01:59:12.000 Because I thought they walked that back.
01:59:14.000 The new creator change?
01:59:16.000 I already signed up for it.
01:59:17.000 No, not the creator change.
01:59:18.000 The change about original.
01:59:19.000 No, no, no.
01:59:19.000 So that's in the new terms of service for starting September 10th, I think it is.
01:59:24.000 Okay.
01:59:25.000 So in the app, actually, let me pull this up.
01:59:28.000 I got a notification.
01:59:30.000 So, what do you go to?
01:59:31.000 You go to Creator Studio, and it says original content rewards coming soon.
01:59:35.000 Let me see what it says.
01:59:37.000 Subscribe 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.
01:59:47.000 Interesting.
01:59:49.000 And it says check back later.
01:59:52.000 Okay, yeah, here we go.
01:59:53.000 Let's see.
01:59:54.000 It's in here the rules.
01:59:56.000 Impressions from the same account created more than once per.
02:00:00.000 The following are excluded.
02:00:01.000 Paid, promoted, artificial, fraudulent, Let's see.
02:00:07.000 The following content types are not considered original copied content, minimally modified content, aggregated content, cross platform reposts.
02:00:16.000 Interesting.
02:00:17.000 Oh, no, no.
02:00:18.000 Okay, if it's other than the original creator.
02:00:19.000 Interesting.
02:00:21.000 Let's see.
02:00:23.000 It says somewhere that you have to be based in a country where the original content rewards program is available.
02:00:28.000 Okay, so maybe you're right.
02:00:30.000 I thought I got to read through it again.
02:00:30.000 Maybe I'm wrong.
02:00:32.000 I'm pretty sure it said something about.
02:00:34.000 The 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.
02:00:43.000 That makes no sense.
02:00:44.000 So, but if he's producing content on American politics in an Indian language, then I suppose it'd be fine.
02:00:44.000 Right.
02:00:50.000 If the ads are for Indian people, yes, of course.
02:00:52.000 Yeah, in an Indian language, right.
02:00:53.000 Yeah.
02:00:53.000 The 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?
02:00:53.000 Yeah.
02:01:03.000 All right.
02:01:04.000 Same old man says we need to reintroduce the McCarran Walters Act.
02:01:04.000 Let's see.
02:01:07.000 Islam was banned from the USA in 1952 because it was a threat to the Constitution.
02:01:11.000 We need to just ban Islam and Islamists from the United States.
02:01:16.000 What happened?
02:01:17.000 Was it challenging?
02:01:18.000 No, communism was.
02:01:19.000 1964 happened.
02:01:21.000 Oh, yep.
02:01:22.000 Yeah, there you go.
02:01:22.000 You know, Civil Rights Act.
02:01:24.000 Dos Woods says The verse you're looking for, Tim, is Luke 22 36.
02:01:28.000 Look it up.
02:01:29.000 No way I let my family die and just watch.
02:01:30.000 That's not Christian.
02:01:31.000 That's cowardice.
02:01:33.000 Well, you don't have to be mean about it.
02:01:36.000 Tiffany says The instruction about your swords.
02:01:37.000 But now, if you have a purse, take it and also a bag.
02:01:40.000 And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
02:01:43.000 The disciples said.
02:01:45.000 Interesting.
02:01:48.000 All right.
02:01:50.000 What does this one say?
02:01:50.000 Mason says the Jews actively collaborated with Muslim invaders into Europe pre Crusades.
02:01:55.000 Counting on them to save Christians is folly.
02:01:58.000 Well, the Muslims in the Middle East teamed up with Hitler and promised Hitler that they would finish the job.
02:02:05.000 Yeah.
02:02:05.000 This guy probably thinks that there's a reason Mein Kampf's all over Gaza.
02:02:09.000 Is it really?
02:02:09.000 Yeah.
02:02:10.000 Everywhere.
02:02:10.000 Oh, yeah.
02:02:12.000 Find it in schools.
02:02:14.000 Arthur 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.
02:02:24.000 I've heard that before too, that there's all these different interpretations.
02:02:27.000 The 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?
02:02:35.000 Kind of like how tipping is offensive in certain Asian cultures.
02:02:38.000 Like giving them money is seen as like an insult.
02:02:41.000 But I'm not saying I believe it.
02:02:42.000 It's just.
02:02:43.000 All right, let's grab a couple more here.
02:02:46.000 We got Carl Mango.
02:02:49.000 Is that what it says?
02:02:50.000 Magno.
02:02:51.000 Carlo Magno.
02:02:52.000 Tim invites Sam Shamoon.
02:02:54.000 Or David Wood to talk about Islam and Sharia law, preferably not at the same time since they're having a beef right now.
02:03:00.000 They'll probably do it at the same time.
02:03:03.000 Yeah.
02:03:03.000 It's awesome.
02:03:04.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, I nominate Chris for a culture war religion show.
02:03:08.000 Okay.
02:03:10.000 We'll get Michael Malice.
02:03:11.000 You know what we'll do?
02:03:12.000 We'll get a Christian, anarcho Christian, and anarchist.
02:03:15.000 Yeah, I love it.
02:03:16.000 And then we'll go at it.
02:03:16.000 All right, let's grab one more here.
02:03:20.000 Let's see.
02:03:21.000 Clank, Clank, I'm a tank says, Justice Barris is so scared she would wear a hijab if Islam got to 15% of the population.
02:03:27.000 Yikes.
02:03:29.000 You know, I don't know.
02:03:30.000 My friends, smash that like button.
02:03:30.000 I completely disagree.
02:03:32.000 Share the show with everyone you've ever met in your life.
02:03:34.000 We're going to the uncensored portion of the show to talk about what Phil wanted to talk about.
02:03:37.000 It'd be interesting.

02:04:54.000 Thanks for hanging out.
02:06:21.000 Phil's got to get back in here, but he had a comment about what were we talking about?
02:06:25.000 Islam taking over?
02:06:26.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:06:28.000 And then the solution to that, I suppose.
02:06:34.000 Doing a vlog.
02:06:36.000 Probably shouldn't say why, because then we'll have to get security.
02:06:40.000 Oh, and be careful.
02:06:42.000 No, just because I'll be at a place filming a thing in public.
02:06:46.000 That sounds really exciting.
02:06:47.000 I don't know.
02:06:48.000 It's not the most exciting thing.
02:06:49.000 It's fun.
02:06:50.000 Place, public.
02:06:50.000 We're going to do some filming.
02:06:52.000 I was trying to set it all up right now.
02:06:54.000 So, how many, what would, at what point would you have an armed revolution against the government?
02:07:01.000 30% Islamic?
02:07:02.000 Revolution against the government.
02:07:04.000 Well, is the government Islamic?
02:07:05.000 Yeah.
02:07:12.000 You know, I'm really, I'm not such a great fighter.
02:07:16.000 No, no, I just mean like supportive one.
02:07:17.000 I'm not saying like you literally support an armed revolution against an Islamic government.
02:07:21.000 Like if the entire Supreme Court was like, let's say that five of the nine were Islamists.
02:07:26.000 Yeah, we're done.
02:07:28.000 I'm out.
02:07:28.000 Like every ruling is just like, we're shooting.
02:07:32.000 Yeah.
02:07:32.000 The Quran says, so therefore.
02:07:34.000 Yeah, no, I think that would be a problem.
02:07:36.000 What would happen?
02:07:36.000 This is an interesting thing.
02:07:38.000 I'm not actually, I mean, you know, I'm not actually crazy about.
02:07:41.000 Here's a question.
02:07:42.000 Here's a question.
02:07:43.000 Let's say there are five Islamist judges, and then someone's like, I believe I have free speech rights to say I don't like Islam.
02:07:51.000 And then they all just go, We literally don't care.
02:07:54.000 The Quran is the supreme holy book.
02:07:57.000 Blasphemy against Islam is illegal and punishable by death.
02:08:00.000 And then there's no other court to go to.
02:08:02.000 If they say it, who's going to challenge it?
02:08:04.000 No, I certainly would hope that before that point, we would take up arms against the Supreme Court before we got there.
02:08:13.000 I mean, we got Katanji Brown Jackson.
02:08:14.000 Who appointed these justices?
02:08:16.000 That's my request.
02:08:17.000 President Momdani after he got rid of the birthright requirement.
02:08:20.000 Yeah, of course.
02:08:21.000 That's the one.
02:08:23.000 Or President Syed.
02:08:24.000 Yeah.
02:08:25.000 I mean, honestly, if they get rid of the birthright president thing, like now we're burning stuff.
02:08:33.000 I would be burning stuff.
02:08:36.000 They will if we get liberal justices.
02:08:39.000 Liberal justices will.
02:08:40.000 The promise is that it's an amendment.
02:08:42.000 Right.
02:08:43.000 Is the challenge.
02:08:44.000 Or I'm sorry, it's in the Constitution.
02:08:46.000 It's not an amendment.
02:08:46.000 It's in the Constitution, yeah.
02:08:48.000 So, I mean, you'd have to get the states to ratify it.
02:08:51.000 Phil was saying if even one of the justices even mentioned considering potentially reading the Quran, he would call for an armed revolution.
02:09:00.000 Just if one of them could read it?
02:09:00.000 Really?
02:09:02.000 If they even just tried to read it, they just got to die!
02:09:07.000 You know, most of them, they can't read Arabic, any of them.
02:09:10.000 You'd be surprised.
02:09:11.000 Sorry, David.
02:09:12.000 That was the question.
02:09:12.000 Like, at what point do you support armed revolution when Islam is taking over?
02:09:18.000 I mean, I honestly think that's like a local thing, right?
02:09:23.000 Like, if there's a point where armed revolution becomes an option, the idea of it being.
02:09:35.000 You know, big army versus big army.
02:09:37.000 It's not.
02:09:37.000 It'll be like a civil war it was in Syria, and you're going to have regional powers and stuff like that.
02:09:43.000 So 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?
02:10:01.000 So, 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.
02:10:25.000 Well, I think you should shoot people in that case.
02:10:28.000 That's what I said.
02:10:29.000 Something has to be done.
02:10:29.000 Yeah, because that's a problem.
02:10:31.000 The, 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?
02:10:48.000 Look at the way that ISIS took over in Iraq, right?
02:10:51.000 They got police clothes and then they went around and shot everybody in their sleep.
02:10:57.000 That's typically how it happened.
02:10:58.000 Yeah, but how do you think they got people to join ISIS?
02:11:00.000 It's like a bunch of guys.
02:11:01.000 They got police clothes and then they went and shot everybody in their sleep and then everyone's like, oh shit.
02:11:06.000 These guys aren't fucking around.
02:11:07.000 Yeah, it was kind of like join or die.
02:11:09.000 Yeah, that's typically how it is with Islam.
02:11:11.000 But I think a lot of these guys are actually, it wasn't just join or die.
02:11:14.000 They weren't forced to join.
02:11:15.000 I think a lot of these guys joined because on some level they actually believed in the movement.
02:11:19.000 You're talking about like the dudes that were like the committed fighters, right?
02:11:23.000 They're the ones that were like, we're going to go and do this.
02:11:27.000 Once 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.
02:11:36.000 And that's literally what happens.
02:11:36.000 Yeah.
02:11:38.000 So, like, you look at Al Shara in Syria, like, he was in Al Qaeda, he was very high up in Al Qaeda.
02:11:44.000 Now he's the president of Syria.
02:11:46.000 Like, was he just a victim of his circumstances?
02:11:48.000 I'd argue he probably had a little bit more say in it.
02:11:51.000 Yeah, right.
02:11:52.000 Yeah, he definitely had more say.
02:11:53.000 I mean, he was a committed Al Qaeda fighter, but like, look at him now, like, he was in the White House.
02:11:58.000 Yeah, I'm not sure what point you're making, though.
02:12:01.000 Because if the question that was asked to me was, at what point do you stand up and fight these people?
02:12:05.000 And it's like, well.
02:12:07.000 You know, when things start getting hairy around your town, they start saying, okay, we're going to do a call to prayer.
02:12:12.000 And yeah, when they start falling around women in the streets in a group of five with a stick and hitting them for not wearing a hijab.
02:12:19.000 Yeah, then you know, then you find out where they live and you go to their house at night.
02:12:22.000 What about so?
02:12:23.000 Okay, so what about like Brooklyn, right?
02:12:27.000 So I lived in Bay Ridge, which used to be called Little Beirut.
02:12:30.000 Now they're calling it Little Palestine.
02:12:32.000 This is where Linda Sarsour is from.
02:12:34.000 This is where Osama bin Laden's family hung out when they were in town.
02:12:38.000 This is where they departed from on 9 11, one of the few planes that was allowed to leave airspace, right?
02:12:45.000 Like, had Osama bin Laden's family on it.
02:12:47.000 I'm pretty sure I remember that correctly.
02:12:50.000 And I would be in my apartment on Fifth Avenue in Ovington in Bay Ridge, and I could hear the Islamic calls to prayer.
02:13:00.000 And there were, you know, women at the grocery store, you couldn't see their eyes, they were like fully covered, and it was weird.
02:13:09.000 And I was like, this is very creepy.
02:13:12.000 And it was very, like, very Muslim, very Islamic.
02:13:15.000 And there were.
02:13:16.000 So, what's your question?
02:13:17.000 There were anti Israel protests outside my apartment most weekends.
02:13:22.000 My question is Should there be armed revolt in Brooklyn?
02:13:28.000 So, in New York, there is still the infrastructure that has always been there, right?
02:13:34.000 So, this is an enclave, but you still had the police that were there that are not Islamic police and what have you.
02:13:41.000 10 years ago, I disagree with it.
02:13:44.000 Eventually, they believe.
02:13:45.000 The police cater to whatever the dominant culture is in the area.
02:13:49.000 They have the community relations in New York.
02:13:52.000 Literally, if you're in an Islamic neighborhood, they're going to be like, no, no, no, like, we're not.
02:13:57.000 If they're going out and doing this stuff, we don't fuck with them.
02:13:59.000 Well, and that's exactly right.
02:14:00.000 You 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.
02:14:10.000 It was really funny.
02:14:10.000 The Jews and the black people were shooting each other all the time.
02:14:12.000 Because I lived in Crown Heights.
02:14:15.000 And 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.
02:14:15.000 Yeah.
02:14:21.000 So 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.
02:14:30.000 It was like, Outside my house, you know?
02:14:32.000 Yeah.
02:14:33.000 I mean, so that, I think that's partly why I said it depends on your locality and depends on where you are.
02:14:38.000 But I mean, it's, you know, if that was happening where I live now, I would have a much different reaction.
02:14:42.000 Yeah.
02:14:43.000 I mean, because I live in a much smaller place.
02:14:44.000 In a city with that many people that are stacked on top of each other, like that's not where things tend to touch on.
02:14:53.000 There were 72 apartments in my building.
02:14:55.000 To your point about the police in New York, because I live very close to the city, I grew up in the city.
02:15:01.000 There are parts of the police force that are actually basically entirely Muslim already.
02:15:04.000 Like the meter maids in New York City, it's like a Bangladeshi mafia.
02:15:08.000 They're all Bangladeshi and it's.
02:15:10.000 They're able to keep jobs under the little hats.
02:15:12.000 Yeah, because.
02:15:12.000 And it's like they're only meter maids.
02:15:14.000 They 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.
02:15:22.000 Because what you're talking about is exactly what happened how woke took over.
02:15:22.000 Or ideology.
02:15:26.000 Exactly.
02:15:27.000 You know, woke took over basically corporate America.
02:15:29.000 People in HR were like, well, this guy had.
02:15:33.000 This guy said something that was off, and so we have to make an example of him.
02:15:38.000 And 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.
02:15:45.000 But again, this is why I said, you know, it all depends on where you are.
02:15:49.000 It wouldn't be like a national kind of thing.
02:15:51.000 It 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.
02:16:00.000 But 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.
02:16:09.000 You know, it would have to be like, okay, they're starting to exert a type of theocratic domination on them.
02:16:18.000 Like Linda Sarsour, perhaps.
02:16:20.000 Right.
02:16:21.000 Well, I don't know that Linda Sarsour is out there telling people you have to go out and pray.
02:16:24.000 No, but she was, she's a big part of the reason Mamdani got elected.
02:16:28.000 Yeah.
02:16:29.000 But well, she's still active.
02:16:30.000 Oh, yeah.
02:16:31.000 I didn't know that.
02:16:32.000 She's like one of his little advisors.
02:16:33.000 Yeah.
02:16:34.000 So, 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.
02:16:54.000 You 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?
02:17:02.000 Do 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?
02:17:11.000 And, 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.
02:17:18.000 That's not how shit works.
02:17:19.000 Like, 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.
02:17:19.000 Yeah.
02:17:28.000 Like, that's just the way that it goes.
02:17:30.000 Anytime people like to talk about, like, you know, revolution or civil war, whatever, right?
02:17:36.000 Like, they talk about it like, like it's like, oh, it's going to be us and we're going to win, and that's it.
02:17:41.000 Well, you, you, people forget that, like, The framers of the guys that signed the Declaration of Independence, like a bunch of them died.
02:17:49.000 They lost their houses.
02:17:51.000 They lost their families.
02:17:52.000 Like, this kind of shit has repercussions.
02:17:54.000 So, to your point, in what's it called, right?
02:17:57.000 Like 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.
02:18:06.000 You might get killed.
02:18:07.000 Right.
02:18:08.000 But that's part of the idea of if things have to get to that level, you could lose.
02:18:16.000 Sure.
02:18:17.000 And people, like these discussions, very rarely does that kind of come into the equation.
02:18:23.000 You know, you could die, you might lose.
02:18:26.000 You know, there's a reason why I said, Oh, go to their house at night, right?
02:18:31.000 Like going out in the daytime, that's a whole different story, right?
02:18:35.000 You 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.
02:18:46.000 So, 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.
02:19:00.000 The conversation is always like, it's almost as if, you know, well, how do you do it without getting in trouble?
02:19:06.000 Well, you don't.
02:19:08.000 Like, you don't.
02:19:08.000 Right?
02:19:09.000 Like, you don't at all.
02:19:10.000 When you go to, like, when dudes are like, we're going to roll in there and do what the fuck we want and we're going to pick a fight.
02:19:19.000 Well, the other team gets a fucking say.
02:19:21.000 You know?
02:19:21.000 Right.
02:19:22.000 So maybe you're taking on the local police.
02:19:25.000 Maybe you're taking on the local militia, whatever.
02:19:27.000 But, like, you know, you could get smoked too.
02:19:30.000 I'm just going to add one thing to the mix for everyone who calls us.
02:19:35.000 I have never encountered a single person in public who is a Zijuz person.
02:19:42.000 Zijuz.
02:19:42.000 A what?
02:19:43.000 Like all the Tucker, all the Israel, all that stuff.
02:19:47.000 I'm just thinking about it because, like, I get recognized a lot.
02:19:52.000 I go to a lot of casinos, play a lot of poker rooms, a lot of poker tournaments, a lot of regular people.
02:19:57.000 I had one guy at the World Series call me a fucking Russian asset trader or some weird nonsense.
02:20:03.000 But.
02:20:04.000 Almost every single person in Vegas at the games who knew who I was were really excited.
02:20:09.000 Dealers were like, Whoa, oh shit, like we know who you are.
02:20:12.000 Never once had I run to someone who's like, You're a fucking Jew, shill, like we see on the internet.
02:20:17.000 That's why I think Tucker and Candace are largely getting foreign fans.
02:20:24.000 I think that's true too.
02:20:25.000 Also, their fans just don't leave their homes.
02:20:28.000 I just don't think that's real.
02:20:30.000 I mean, I've heard this, but come on, people go to the grocery store, people go to the movies, people go out.
02:20:36.000 Time to bring up the Jews when you're checking out at the grocery store.
02:20:38.000 Somebody at the self checkout, too.
02:20:40.000 You're ranting to yourself.
02:20:43.000 19 out of 20 times someone recognizes me.
02:20:45.000 It's a, oh shit, are you Tim Poole?
02:20:47.000 Yeah.
02:20:48.000 Then let's do this.
02:20:50.000 Out of the hundred times I get recognized, about 90 of them are like, oh shit, you're Tim Poole.
02:20:54.000 I watch your shit, bro.
02:20:56.000 Amazing.
02:20:57.000 We were hanging out at King's Chicken nearby for the studio, and there was a guy, and he was like, hey, wait, are you Tim Poole?
02:21:02.000 And I was like, yeah.
02:21:03.000 And he's like, I thought that was you.
02:21:04.000 Oh, cool, man, I can watch your stuff.
02:21:06.000 Then, about eight out of 100, it'll be a guy who'll be like, hey, you're that guy.
02:21:13.000 You do the podcast, Tim.
02:21:15.000 I don't really watch your stuff, but I've heard of you.
02:21:15.000 Hold on.
02:21:17.000 And then one is a leftist.
02:21:20.000 Most leftists don't even know what I look like.
02:21:23.000 Not one time has there ever been a negative interaction.
02:21:25.000 So, of the extremely rare negative interactions that I get, it's leftist stuff.
02:21:30.000 Like, fuck you, you fucking bigot, or fucking Russian, but I've never gotten, you're a Jew.
02:21:37.000 All of this stuff we see online never even saw.
02:21:40.000 Not a single person has been like, you fucking love Israel, you motherfucker.
02:21:43.000 Never happened.
02:21:45.000 I think it's all fake.
02:21:45.000 Let's get some.
02:21:47.000 We'll get the monster mangler in here.
02:21:50.000 What is up?
02:21:51.000 What's up, mangler?
02:21:52.000 Hello.
02:21:53.000 Hi.
02:21:54.000 Hello.
02:21:54.000 Howdy.
02:21:56.000 Hi.
02:21:57.000 Hope you're having a good evening.
02:21:59.000 Yep.
02:21:59.000 We are.
02:21:59.000 We are.
02:22:00.000 Thank you.
02:22:00.000 All right.
02:22:02.000 I have a question for Chris.
02:22:05.000 And forgive me for not having the exact examples right there.
02:22:09.000 I 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.
02:22:17.000 Okay.
02:22:18.000 With how you might govern a nation instead.
02:22:21.000 So, for example, turning the other cheek is in regard to personal interactions, not public or international policy or whatever.
02:22:29.000 And I was wondering why exactly it seems like that feeds into your anarchism angle, I suppose.
02:22:35.000 So I was wondering how exactly you square that circle.
02:22:39.000 If I'm understanding you correctly, I don't think I'm misapplying it.
02:22:43.000 It's just there's no scriptural guidance for what a government looks like other than the one under Jesus Christ.
02:22:50.000 So I view it as how a person conducts himself in a daily life.
02:22:54.000 There's really no guidance for governance in the scriptures except for the secular governments that persecuted our Lord.
02:23:02.000 Am I understanding that right?
02:23:04.000 I would argue that there is some guidance in that in the Old Testament in terms of the law.
02:23:09.000 And I'm not saying we should be under the law, but what I'm saying is that God never changes.
02:23:15.000 So 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.
02:23:31.000 Well, the law was a shadow that preceded Christ.
02:23:34.000 And basically, every component.
02:23:36.000 So, instituting that as a guidance for law, I would disagree with that.
02:23:43.000 It's out there.
02:23:43.000 All right.
02:23:43.000 Well, so I would ask, okay, about the.
02:23:49.000 Some people mentioned, you know, if someone's attacking your family, would you, you know, violently stop them or whatever, right?
02:23:57.000 And I would argue that it is right to violently stop them under the circumstances that we are as Christians.
02:24:07.000 To 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.
02:24:24.000 I understand what you're saying.
02:24:25.000 And of course, it's all like I was saying earlier, it's always the extreme example.
02:24:28.000 We can't start with like the simple applications.
02:24:30.000 It's always, what about rape?
02:24:31.000 What about murder?
02:24:32.000 Somebody breaks in.
02:24:33.000 Well, first of all, you lock your door.
02:24:34.000 I mean, I'm not advocating for idiocy.
02:24:36.000 At least I don't think I am.
02:24:37.000 Correct me if I'm wrong.
02:24:39.000 But I just hope and pray it doesn't come to that.
02:24:44.000 Okay, we can lock our doors, but what happens if someone breaks in, picks a lock, breaks a window?
02:24:50.000 Well, I mean, everybody's going to handle that situation the way that they see fit.
02:24:53.000 And I'd like to think that I'd have the discernment to do the same at the same time that I'm hoping that that doesn't happen.
02:25:03.000 Okay.
02:25:05.000 Oh, and somebody mentioned earlier, I think it was in a super chat, the thing about turning the other cheek.
02:25:11.000 I think they may have mistyped it.
02:25:12.000 But initially, it was like a backhanded slap would be the way someone might slap you to say, Hey, I don't think very much of you.
02:25:19.000 You only get the back of my hand.
02:25:21.000 And 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.
02:25:28.000 I'm not, I can no longer denigrate you.
02:25:31.000 So I think they just misspoke that.
02:25:33.000 But yeah, that's about it.
02:25:35.000 Okay.
02:25:36.000 Thanks for calling.
02:25:38.000 Sure.
02:25:38.000 I'll do my shout out real quick.
02:25:40.000 Please.
02:25:42.000 All right.
02:25:42.000 So, first, I have to shout out my dad.
02:25:44.000 Because today is his 73rd birthday.
02:25:46.000 Happy birthday.
02:25:47.000 I love you.
02:25:47.000 Happy birthday.
02:25:48.000 Happy birthday.
02:25:50.000 Also, please buy my book, Sanguine Servant.
02:25:52.000 That's S A N G U I N E, Servant, by Monster Mangler on Amazon, Kindle.
02:25:59.000 And you can look forward to the sequel, which I should be publishing in the next month or so.
02:26:03.000 And we should also find a way to ban Sharia so we can ban Islam.
02:26:07.000 God bless.
02:26:07.000 Thanks for calling in.
02:26:07.000 All right.
02:26:09.000 Cheers.
02:26:11.000 All right.
02:26:12.000 Next up, we've got Lyle Seven Mile.
02:26:15.000 What's up, Lyle?
02:26:17.000 What up, dude?
02:26:18.000 Thanks for taking my call.
02:26:18.000 Hey, y'all.
02:26:19.000 Thanks for calling.
02:26:22.000 So, this question is for everybody.
02:26:25.000 Is the delivery app model broken with sky high fees squeezing customers and poverty wages forcing drivers to survive on tips?
02:26:33.000 Who is really profiting and why has no one in Congress taken a hard look at these practices?
02:26:40.000 Are we missing something?
02:26:41.000 And how could a grassroots campaign actually force real oversight, especially on financing burritos?
02:26:48.000 Yeah, man.
02:26:49.000 I'm going to not use DoorDash except for if they don't have delivery at all.
02:26:55.000 But I hate DoorDash so much.
02:26:57.000 It is a scumbag company.
02:26:58.000 I'll tell you an example, right?
02:27:00.000 So I'm ordering Mexican food, okay?
02:27:02.000 I don't eat gluten, no flour for me.
02:27:04.000 It gives me weird arthritis.
02:27:05.000 And so I look up this Mexican joint, and they got this beautiful picture of a taco with a corn tortilla.
02:27:12.000 And it had, you know, all the fixings on it, some little onions.
02:27:15.000 And so I said, I'm going to give me three of those things.
02:27:18.000 And guess what happens when it arrives?
02:27:20.000 The motherfucking tortillas were made of flour.
02:27:22.000 I did not fucking click on that image.
02:27:25.000 They did not say anything other than.
02:27:27.000 So I complained to DoorDash, and they did.
02:27:29.000 On my $30 order, they gave me $2.
02:27:33.000 And then they asked me, did that help?
02:27:35.000 And I said, no.
02:27:36.000 And he goes, sorry.
02:27:37.000 And that was it.
02:27:39.000 I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?
02:27:40.000 Yep.
02:27:41.000 Fuck that.
02:27:42.000 Yep.
02:27:43.000 That's how Uber treats drivers when they have complaints, too.
02:27:46.000 But Uber is not a money making venture.
02:27:48.000 And people don't realize this.
02:27:49.000 It costs more money to drive your car around like that.
02:27:53.000 And so for the more expensive Ubers, where they have like leased vehicles, they're going to make money.
02:27:58.000 But for the regular Ubers, the wear and tear in their car is greater than the money they make.
02:28:01.000 It's a, I hate, I fucking hate Uber.
02:28:04.000 I was, we were in DC for a shoot last weekend.
02:28:09.000 We're leaving the hotel and we couldn't get an Uber.
02:28:12.000 And I was like, well, the fuck, I don't even want an Uber anyway.
02:28:15.000 As we're like trying to use one of these apps, a taxi pulls up and we're like, let's roll.
02:28:19.000 And the guy, of course, he's a cab driver.
02:28:21.000 He was shit talking the Ubers.
02:28:23.000 And he was basically saying, Uber comes in dirt cheap.
02:28:28.000 It's cheaper to get an Uber than a cab because Uber is subsidizing the cost of service.
02:28:33.000 Once they put all the cabbies out of business, they cranked the prices up.
02:28:37.000 Now it's extremely hard to get a cab.
02:28:39.000 They're underpaying everybody.
02:28:40.000 He 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.
02:28:49.000 So 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.
02:28:53.000 And if you choose it, it'll say you'll get paid $30 and nothing else.
02:28:56.000 And it's like, whoa, like, what if the trip is long?
02:28:59.000 Right.
02:28:59.000 Nope.
02:29:00.000 It's a flat fee for this trip, $30.
02:29:01.000 And they're like, so what they do is the Uber drivers reject them, they refuse to do it because it's not worth it.
02:29:06.000 Right.
02:29:06.000 Cab drivers are like, you get paid by the meter.
02:29:09.000 So, anyway, fuck all of these services.
02:29:09.000 Right.
02:29:11.000 But the plan is they're going to make Tesla's going to have this.
02:29:16.000 Right.
02:29:17.000 If there's a fucking investment, man, it's Elon Musk.
02:29:19.000 Tesla's going to roll out their taxis.
02:29:21.000 They just did a demo of it.
02:29:21.000 They already got one on the street.
02:29:23.000 And 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.
02:29:32.000 So, Uber is done.
02:29:33.000 Delivery drivers are going to be the same.
02:29:34.000 We already got the robots in the cities.
02:29:35.000 Right.
02:29:36.000 So, humans are being cut out.
02:29:38.000 We didn't even talk about this.
02:29:39.000 We have a story about these robots.
02:29:41.000 In San Francisco, you can order a robot cleaning service.
02:29:45.000 It's the dumbest thing you can do because these motherfuckers can't clean for shit, but it's already available.
02:29:49.000 So AI is going to destroy everything.
02:29:52.000 We're cooked.
02:29:53.000 There's no reality where we live.
02:29:55.000 They want to make this argument where they're like, no, no, everything will get better because everything will be cheaper.
02:29:59.000 It's not true.
02:30:00.000 Our economy is based on individuals generating economic value amongst each other.
02:30:06.000 So what's going to happen is the single company that has all the robots will make billions of dollars and everyone else will have shit.
02:30:12.000 That's right.
02:30:12.000 That is what's going to happen.
02:30:14.000 Yeah.
02:30:14.000 That's why we all need to buy land.
02:30:17.000 No, land's over.
02:30:18.000 Land is over?
02:30:19.000 Land is over.
02:30:20.000 Where are we supposed to live?
02:30:21.000 Land made sense in the 90s when we were growing up because of population growth.
02:30:24.000 But now the population is retracting.
02:30:26.000 Land is going to go to zero.
02:30:27.000 Well, land is going to go to zero, but we still need somewhere to live.
02:30:30.000 And then you can still live on it.
02:30:31.000 You don't need to buy any land.
02:30:32.000 You buy land right now, in 15 years, that land will be worth nothing.
02:30:36.000 And you'll look at the Ikeas in Japan.
02:30:38.000 But where are we supposed to live?
02:30:40.000 You will walk onto a plot of land and it will be yours.
02:30:43.000 Why?
02:30:44.000 Because there will be no demand for it because there's no people.
02:30:47.000 There's no people.
02:30:48.000 In Japan, You get a house for free.
02:30:50.000 Yeah.
02:30:50.000 Three houses.
02:30:50.000 I've seen that.
02:30:51.000 Yeah, but you have to live in Italy nowhere, right?
02:30:53.000 Yeah.
02:30:54.000 You want a house for free?
02:30:55.000 I'm obviously.
02:30:56.000 You know, Italy is doing houses for one euro.
02:30:58.000 Same thing, though.
02:30:58.000 Yeah.
02:30:59.000 Ghost towns.
02:31:00.000 Exactly.
02:31:01.000 And that's why they're doing it.
02:31:02.000 The point is this if you buy land now, population is collapsing.
02:31:09.000 Even in the cities, the veil is going to drop because demand is being erased.
02:31:13.000 The literal human existence that creates demand for housing and land is going away.
02:31:20.000 So, your demand is a look, short the housing market now because the property value is guaranteed to drop unless we bring in more people.
02:31:27.000 Unless we flood the country with a bunch of illegal Honduran farmers.
02:31:31.000 Yeah.
02:31:32.000 Well, I'd rather the Honduran farmers than the North African Muslim slaughterers.
02:31:37.000 Wow, good luck.
02:31:40.000 Got anything you want to add or follow up?
02:31:44.000 Well, what are your guys' thoughts on any kind of grassroots campaign?
02:31:50.000 I mean, it sounds like a grassroots campaign to try and do something about it.
02:31:54.000 I was thinking like contacting congressmen or something, but you know, after that black pill, it kind of seems like a moot point.
02:31:59.000 Like it's all fucked, anyways.
02:32:02.000 That does seem to be the Tim point over here.
02:32:04.000 No, I'm just saying if you don't adapt to it, like what do you expect to happen?
02:32:04.000 Yeah.
02:32:10.000 What's the adaptation?
02:32:11.000 Yeah, what's the adaptation?
02:32:11.000 I've never been to it before.
02:32:13.000 Well, there's shorting the housing market.
02:32:15.000 If you want to go to Michael Burry, I'll figure that one out.
02:32:18.000 But it also means we've talked about it quite a bit.
02:32:20.000 What are the investments?
02:32:22.000 Human civilization is never going to cease to exist, it's going to change.
02:32:25.000 And this is the big change happening right now.
02:32:27.000 Old systems will die off and something new will emerge.
02:32:30.000 We know what's going to happen.
02:32:32.000 AI is coming and displacing jobs.
02:32:34.000 It's already displaced the music industry for creative works like background music and films and things of that nature.
02:32:41.000 Now, video gaming and vibe coding.
02:32:43.000 It's not erasing the essential core developers, it's getting rid of the low level stuff.
02:32:49.000 All 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.
02:32:59.000 Next is going to be the mid level.
02:33:01.000 As AI advances, it will eventually get to the point where it will erase the top level dev.
02:33:07.000 Knowing these things are happening, think about what society will look like.
02:33:13.000 Think about what you can start right now as a company that will generate revenue in that future.
02:33:19.000 So, if there's going to be very few young people, like Gen Alpha is only 40 to 45 million, what is it going to look like for older people?
02:33:26.000 What services are they going to need?
02:33:27.000 They're going to need a lot of Optimus bots.
02:33:30.000 We're going to need to supplement the elderly's requirement of labor.
02:33:33.000 With these robots, that's why they're doing it.
02:33:35.000 That's why Elon's doing it because he can see what's happening.
02:33:37.000 So he's like, okay, no people, then we need humanoid type laborers that can do certain tasks befitting a human.
02:33:45.000 So that's why he's building this.
02:33:47.000 That's why so many companies are building this.
02:33:49.000 Invest in those companies.
02:33:50.000 One of the smartest things I heard is invest heavily in actuator companies.
02:33:54.000 That's what the robots need to move around the joints.
02:33:58.000 That's rudimentary.
02:33:59.000 If 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.
02:34:10.000 Lack of people, automation of jobs is going to result in a high demand for these things.
02:34:14.000 If you can figure out what the future we can all see, what demands will be of that society, start today.
02:34:20.000 You're a billionaire in five, 10 years.
02:34:26.000 Yeah.
02:34:27.000 But that relies on the premise that the current capital raising environment and all that that you think is going to go away survives.
02:34:33.000 So, if the stock market plummets, as you predicted earlier, it has before, and there's a few things that could happen.
02:34:42.000 There could be intervention.
02:34:44.000 So they attempt to prop up the market through surreptitious means or the Federal Reserve, make sure that it just doesn't collapse so hard.
02:34:51.000 But houses have to come down.
02:34:53.000 I agree.
02:34:53.000 They just banned institutional investors.
02:34:56.000 So this means a large supply of demand that was artificially injected is now being eliminated.
02:35:00.000 And Trump is deporting.
02:35:01.000 We're deporting the Haitian migrants.
02:35:02.000 They closed the southern border.
02:35:04.000 We are already seeing this right now.
02:35:06.000 Anybody who works in real estate is watching this happen.
02:35:09.000 If you go to any of the hottest markets, Nashville's a great example.
02:35:13.000 Nashville is a boomtown.
02:35:14.000 Oracle and Starbucks just moved there.
02:35:17.000 And the houses are collapsing in price, which seems to make no sense.
02:35:21.000 You got 2,000 Oracle employees, high level, they're going to move in.
02:35:24.000 In and out, too.
02:35:26.000 In and out, tons of companies.
02:35:27.000 And for some reason, property values are collapsing in Nashville, despite the fact they're moving a bunch of people in.
02:35:32.000 It's happening everywhere.
02:35:34.000 Anyone paying attention?
02:35:35.000 We just saw the largest retraction of sales contracts, offers, since the 2008.
02:35:43.000 This is on Business Insider.
02:35:45.000 Sellers have pulled their houses off the market because they've been sitting for so long and they can't sell, they've given up.
02:35:50.000 Mm hmm.
02:35:51.000 Which means prices are going to start collapsing rapidly.
02:35:56.000 I think this is another big component.
02:35:56.000 Boomers are dying.
02:35:58.000 When I mentioned my neighborhood in Chicago was a lot of Indian people, my buddies were like, man, what happened?
02:36:03.000 And I said, bro, the people who lived in those houses when we were kids were 50, 60 years old.
02:36:08.000 Now we're in our 40s.
02:36:10.000 So they're all dead.
02:36:11.000 Nobody inherited those homes.
02:36:13.000 Their kids moved somewhere else.
02:36:15.000 So now you got vacant houses held by nobody or their kids inherit it and say, just fucking sell it.
02:36:20.000 I don't give a shit.
02:36:21.000 So they dump it on, they put it on the market for 180, 200.
02:36:24.000 That's how much they're worth on the sell side.
02:36:25.000 Now they're up to like three.
02:36:26.000 And then an Indian family comes and takes it.
02:36:29.000 That's why they're trying to.
02:36:30.000 The reason why they want to do H 1Bs is because they know that Honduran farmers can't replace mid skilled laborers.
02:36:36.000 They want Indian H 1Bs to replace bank tellers.
02:36:39.000 They want Honduran farmers to replace American farmers.
02:36:42.000 They're not getting high skilled labor.
02:36:44.000 That we're just fucked on.
02:36:45.000 So I don't know.
02:36:48.000 Anyway, to your point about all the apps and everything, yes.
02:36:54.000 I think what we need to do here is I need to sit down with the boys.
02:36:57.000 And we need to do a brainstorming session on what the future will look like based on what we're seeing already.
02:37:03.000 I'm just going to say it right now.
02:37:04.000 I'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.
02:37:16.000 They're going to spend $15, $20 on the person.
02:37:18.000 They're going to spend $10 on the robot.
02:37:19.000 Best part is, robot never takes time off.
02:37:21.000 It's there when you get there, it's there when you leave, it's there when no one's there.
02:37:25.000 And 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.
02:37:32.000 Subscription service, we're making bank.
02:37:34.000 They're going to start selling.
02:37:35.000 They're already doing it.
02:37:36.000 They're going to start selling the Tesla taxis when the Tesla taxis go live.
02:37:39.000 They're not going to be just Tesla owning them.
02:37:41.000 People are going to be able to buy them so you can buy a fleet of those.
02:37:43.000 Yep.
02:37:45.000 People are already doing this right now.
02:37:47.000 There are people who have bought 15 Teslas and they lease them out to Uber drivers.
02:37:51.000 Why?
02:37:51.000 Because the Uber driver says it's $100 a day for the lease, but I'm going to make $200.
02:37:57.000 I keep $100 and I don't worry about charge or wear and tear.
02:37:59.000 When the battery dies, I drop it off and get into another one while that one charges.
02:38:04.000 Then you back at your fleet, you're doing $15,000 to $2,000 per day, depending on the size of your fleet.
02:38:09.000 And you're just sitting there making sure the tires are fixed and ready to go.
02:38:12.000 You're paying off, you know, $2,000 a day.
02:38:14.000 You're paying a couple thousand bucks per month for all the cars, or you bought them out right on a loan.
02:38:19.000 This is where we're going.
02:38:21.000 And it's your opportunity now, I guess.
02:38:24.000 Good luck.
02:38:25.000 When these products become available, because as of right now, neither the Optimus or the Tesla taxis are actually available yet.
02:38:32.000 But the buying a fleet of Teslas, and then you have Uber drivers lease them.
02:38:32.000 No, no, no.
02:38:38.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:38:38.000 And then the human driver walks onto the lot.
02:38:41.000 Picks the car and goes around and drives it.
02:38:43.000 If someone barfs in it, he brings it back, you clean it.
02:38:46.000 But that's why he's giving you half his money every day.
02:38:50.000 They're all filming all the time.
02:38:50.000 And then guess what?
02:38:52.000 It's fucking perfect.
02:38:54.000 Well, that's not going to last.
02:38:55.000 I wouldn't invest in that business because we are a couple of years out from full.
02:38:59.000 So they just launched Zooms in Vegas.
02:39:01.000 That is fully autonomous taxis now in Vegas from Amazon.
02:39:04.000 And they're free, aren't they?
02:39:05.000 They were some free.
02:39:06.000 They were free before.
02:39:07.000 I don't know if they're still free.
02:39:08.000 They might be.
02:39:09.000 And when I was there, they had trials of them and they were extremely hard to get.
02:39:13.000 Because there were just like seven.
02:39:13.000 Really?
02:39:15.000 And everybody wanted to ride in them.
02:39:17.000 I had that in Austin.
02:39:18.000 I had trouble a couple years ago getting a Waymo when it first launched.
02:39:23.000 Have you guys seen the Zooms?
02:39:25.000 I'm going to be there next week.
02:39:26.000 There's big rectangles with radars on each side.
02:39:30.000 No driver, no steering wheel.
02:39:31.000 You get in.
02:39:32.000 There's two seats facing each other.
02:39:34.000 It's like a trolley?
02:39:34.000 You sit down and have them.
02:39:36.000 I've never seen this.
02:39:37.000 Yeah, me neither.
02:39:37.000 Yeah.
02:39:40.000 Oh, wow.
02:39:42.000 Yes, yes.
02:39:42.000 Oh, yes.
02:39:43.000 We were just.
02:39:44.000 Wait, are they like golf carts?
02:39:46.000 No, they're not golf carts, but they're.
02:39:48.000 They're definitely just shoe boxes.
02:39:53.000 All over Vegas.
02:39:55.000 All over.
02:39:56.000 Really hard to get, but now they've launched them formally.
02:40:05.000 Yeah, download the app now.
02:40:07.000 X-O-O-M.
02:40:09.000 Oh, no, it's Zooks.
02:40:10.000 Z-O-O-X?
02:40:10.000 Is that what it is?
02:40:11.000 Oh, yeah, it is Zooks.
02:40:12.000 I was wrong.
02:40:13.000 Look at that.
02:40:15.000 No steering wheels.
02:40:17.000 It's like a train car.
02:40:18.000 Like a gondola that doesn't go up.
02:40:20.000 A little trolley?
02:40:22.000 Yeah.
02:40:22.000 It's claustrophobic.
02:40:24.000 Looks like the Metro North.
02:40:28.000 Touch screen.
02:40:29.000 This was predicted 10 years ago.
02:40:34.000 I think it was longer than that actually.
02:40:36.000 There was a viral video where they were like, the future of autonomous driving, and it explained all of this.
02:40:39.000 No more traffic jams.
02:40:41.000 All of the different car companies will network.
02:40:43.000 And so when you're about to enter the highway, the cars will slowly start making space.
02:40:49.000 You might notice in your car you're going less, you slow down a mile an hour.
02:40:52.000 Not a big deal.
02:40:53.000 You make enough room for the car to merge in perfectly, you never stop.
02:41:04.000 Touching there.
02:41:04.000 Yep.
02:41:05.000 The feature is crazy.
02:41:10.000 Here's the best part.
02:41:12.000 You're going to be in one of these, and it's going to be going in circles, and you're going to be like, Stop.
02:41:17.000 I can't get out.
02:41:17.000 Stop.
02:41:18.000 And it'll be like, Just a moment.
02:41:20.000 But it'll just keep going in circles.
02:41:20.000 Let me pull over.
02:41:22.000 Because that literally happened to a guy.
02:41:23.000 Really?
02:41:24.000 In a Waymo.
02:41:25.000 And it was his black dude, and he called, and he's like, It won't stop.
02:41:28.000 It keeps going in circles.
02:41:30.000 It was funny.
02:41:32.000 How did he get out?
02:41:34.000 The company commandeered the car, I guess.
02:41:36.000 Because 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.
02:41:42.000 Happened to Luke.
02:41:43.000 Luke 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.
02:41:50.000 I'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.
02:41:56.000 No, they do.
02:41:56.000 Like, I'm not even.
02:41:57.000 It's as Indian dudes.
02:41:58.000 Yeah, I think they do.
02:41:59.000 They dial in when you do something they don't like.
02:42:01.000 Like, I tried to sit in the worst seat of one because Surge had a broken leg at the time.
02:42:07.000 In Phoenix, and they like stopped the car and they called and were like, You got to get out now.
02:42:12.000 So, anyway, do you want to add anything or shout anything out, brother?
02:42:18.000 No, I'm good for adding a shout out.
02:42:22.000 I have a friend, Nathan Murr.
02:42:25.000 He's a fellow Marine and has a company called Frontier Resolve.
02:42:30.000 He sells like adventure gear equipment.
02:42:34.000 Specifically, 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.
02:42:47.000 If anybody's interested, go check him out, support a veteran owned company.
02:42:51.000 Um, 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.
02:43:04.000 Okay, that sounds great, man.
02:43:05.000 Thanks.
02:43:06.000 I was in Billings one time, I had a great trip.
02:43:09.000 Well, it was okay.
02:43:10.000 Billings is cool, it's all right.
02:43:12.000 Billings was okay, yeah.
02:43:13.000 All right, cheers, man.
02:43:15.000 All right, thanks for calling.
02:43:17.000 I was in Fortress through Billings.
02:43:20.000 All right, and last but not least, we got Alex.
02:43:22.000 What is up?
02:43:23.000 What's up, Alex?
02:43:24.000 What up, dude?
02:43:29.000 Hello, Alex.
02:43:30.000 You are muted.
02:43:34.000 Can you hear me now?
02:43:35.000 Yes.
02:43:35.000 Yes.
02:43:36.000 Okay, perfect.
02:43:38.000 So, hello, everyone.
02:43:39.000 Thanks for taking my call.
02:43:40.000 Your resident syrup here again.
02:43:42.000 So, I have a question for the panel.
02:43:45.000 It's related to, well, I guess, secularization.
02:43:48.000 So, I wanted to ask you, do you think secularization was a historical solution that bore the problems of today?
02:43:55.000 Do you think the collective West should revert partially or in full?
02:43:59.000 And how would you do that today?
02:44:01.000 And I mean, at least education and science would benefit from some form of moral foundation.
02:44:07.000 And I guess it's better that it be Christianity than atheism slash Islam or whatever, Buddhism.
02:44:12.000 I think the liberal economic order was like, we have to create a unified global culture.
02:44:17.000 And so religion's a barrier to that.
02:44:19.000 So, the problem is, they started dismantling American culture and religion.
02:44:23.000 But the rest of the world didn't.
02:44:25.000 So, you know, it's kind of fucked everything up.
02:44:28.000 Yeah, I think that even though people that are, that consider themselves secular, agnostic, atheist, in the West, they base their morality on Christianity.
02:44:43.000 So I think that a society without a religion is doomed.
02:44:51.000 I think that's part of the reason why you saw such terrible results in.
02:44:55.000 In the Soviet Union and stuff.
02:44:59.000 And 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.
02:45:14.000 So 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.
02:45:24.000 If I was Japanese, I think that I'd probably be partial to Japan, but I'm not.
02:45:28.000 You know, it's a Japanese society, but I'm not Japanese.
02:45:30.000 So, 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.
02:45:45.000 Um, but I don't think you can force it.
02:45:47.000 I, I agree.
02:45:48.000 And as somebody who spent a lot of time in Poland and I've, you know, spent time in Serbia, actually, I have family in Czajak.
02:45:54.000 Um, oh, nice.
02:45:55.000 Yeah, there you go.
02:45:57.000 Um, I think that a secular, like, Legally secular, but religiously underpinned society is probably like my preference.
02:46:07.000 And, you know, now that I think about it, you know, I'm also agnostic, atheist.
02:46:10.000 I would pretty much never live in a society that isn't a Christian society.
02:46:15.000 Like, I can't think of a single place I'd live in that wasn't kind of operating under that Christian ethos.
02:46:20.000 And 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.
02:46:31.000 Yeah.
02:46:35.000 I understand what you mean.
02:46:36.000 I understand what you mean.
02:46:37.000 So, I don't know.
02:46:39.000 I mean, in the East, at least, we've been kind of reviving it a little bit through education to some degree.
02:46:47.000 It's been added more into the teaching and everything.
02:46:50.000 So, it's been doing good for us, at least in the Balkans here.
02:46:54.000 The birth rate is still kind of up.
02:46:56.000 So, we're doing good there, I guess.
02:46:59.000 And we're not going crazy with science.
02:47:00.000 So, I don't know.
02:47:05.000 That's basically it when it comes to my question, Phil.
02:47:07.000 I just wanted in the tradition of teaching you something.
02:47:09.000 I thought I'd teach you how to counter Ian's claim that he could change the weather.
02:47:13.000 So instead of telling him he couldn't, you should ask him, Do you think the weather is changing you, Ian?
02:47:23.000 No, I might actually take that up.
02:47:24.000 You know what he's going to do?
02:47:26.000 He's going to go, Oh, maybe.
02:47:29.000 Yeah.
02:47:29.000 He's going to, he's going to, that's going to, yeah, it's going to reset the wiring pretty quick.
02:47:37.000 Is he going to be here tomorrow?
02:47:37.000 I don't know.
02:47:38.000 Yeah, he is.
02:47:39.000 I'll ask him tomorrow if it comes up.
02:47:41.000 But yeah, that's great.
02:47:43.000 Appreciate it.
02:47:44.000 And just want to shout out the Discord and the mods there.
02:47:47.000 They've been really helpful recently, especially with one of our members' health episodes.
