Starting point is 00:00:00 I just found all the classified stuff downstairs. That's an actual quote from Joe Biden. CBS has published excerpts from nearly 70 hours of audio that Biden was trying to have covered up and it shows something very important. I know Joe Biden's not the president and he's not going to be ever again. So a lot of the liberals like to say, hey, we're not going to talk about this or fouch or this or otherwise, but they went after Donald Trump and tried to put him in prison for classified documents. and we knew the whole time that Joe Biden had this.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Now with this leaked audio, we know that he knew, and he even warned his ghost right. You know, some of this might be classified. You got to be careful. Basically saying, hey, look, we're committing felonies most likely and he's got to watch out for it. Why was he not criminally charged in much the same way? Because it is political entirely. So we're going to talk about that and what it all means. Now, just about an hour ago, we learned that Iran launched a surprise attack on U.S. 4.
Starting point is 00:00:58 forces. The U.S., I believe, has basically repelled all of these attacks. And now there's discussion of a massive escalation. This, of course, coming after Iran struck Iranian ships in the Caspian Sea, now the big talking point, all throughout the day from these major cable news outlets, is that it's one big war at this point, that Iran's supplying weapons to Russia, Russia fuel to U.S. adversaries. Ukraine strikes the Iranian supply lines, now bringing Iran into the fight with Ukraine, which brings them in with Russia, and now the U.S., of course, already involved in Ukraine. This is about to kick off, or I guess technically it's all just snowflakes in an avalanche. The question is, will China escalate? It's hard to say for sure, but we'll talk about that
Starting point is 00:01:39 and a whole lot more. We also have the governor of Kentucky demanding that Mitch McConnell prove he is alive or resign and has begun the process to have him expelled from the Senate. It is all very, very weird. We'll talk about that and more. Before we get up, we got a great sponsor, it is backyard butchers. Guys, you got to go to backyard butchers.com. Use promo code Tim. Get some real meat. Here's what you got to understand, my friends.
Starting point is 00:02:06 In the United States, Secretary of Agriculture is publicly warning that Americans consolidated meat supplies a threat to the country itself. It's true. Just four companies control the majority of America's beef supply and the largest is foreign-owned. It's not a conspiracy, my friends. This is national food security. Here's what we don't realize a single pound of conventional grocery store. Ground beef can contain DNA from hundreds of different cattle.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Man, that one always gets me. So what's the solution? As Americans, we've got to return a tradition where you know your rancher, know your land, know where your meat is coming from. That's why we like backyard butchers.

Hey, Tim, thanks for having me on. Quick shout out to Jay Yakamashi, who's a longtime subscriber to the show. Loves this show. Watch this all the time. Also, shout out to my brother Alfie.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Right on. You are a member of Congress. I am. You are one of the best members of Congress. Thank you. You represent us here in West Virginia. And you were just on the ground doing real work for disaster relief in Central West Virginia. You want to mention that really quick? I think it's really important.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, you know, it's kind of funny. Unfortunate, funny. I was leaving the Capitol after votes to go to Buck Cannon and Weston, which is an upshire in Lewis County in West Virginia. And one of these reporters said, what do you? you doing on the break? Where are you going? I'm like, there's a flood in my district. People have died, homes destroyed. They're like, I had no idea. They're just not even paying attention to it all. So we have close to 35 homes completely washed away, gone. Over 300 homes damaged, roads, gone, bridges, gone. And the governors now just asked for FEMA declaration, myself and the rest of the
Starting point is 00:05:18 delegation just wrote a letter to expedite that declaration from FEMA. And it was really sad, some real heroic stories down there. One gentleman I met, his grandfather, his whole family, like a lot of people in West Virginia, he has his whole family living around him, you know, several houses and one plot of land. And one of the homes is being swept away. His 18-month-old granddaughter and sister-in-law, or pardon me, daughter-in-law were in the home. And he goes through the water, grabs both of them, swims out, saves their lives. It's unbelievable. We had another guy who drove a stake into a ground in his community in this holler,
Starting point is 00:06:00 seven feet down, tied a rope to it, tied a rope to himself, and then went house to house through the water. Wow. Getting people. It's just unbelievable stories. And I saw your posts on X, just massive respect. I appreciate you representing us here because, you know, I feel like most, look, I'm going to avoid just making this partisan and going after people, but they're members of Congress
Starting point is 00:06:21 that don't even live in their districts. They just pretend to. There's several members. There's a lot of members don't live in their district. Right. And they just, it's great to see you're out there actually doing real leadership work for the community, actually helping, coming down, because this is what people actually need. When you, when you are electing people to represent you, they should be actively involved. So I saw those post, man, and I was like, doing great stuff, man, doing good work. So I appreciate it. I appreciate it. And, I went down there, truck full of water, and my daughter went with me, too, and look, these are our people, these are West Virginians. Let's go down.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Let's go help. It's also pretty crazy to me that this is a, we said, 3,500 homes. So, 35 homes destroyed. 35 homes. And then we, we have just washed away, and then we have over 300 that are probably damaged beyond repair. Right, right, right. Yeah. Massive.
Starting point is 00:07:11 That's crazy. But, hey, man, great work. So it's awesome to have you here. We can talk a bit about it for sure. Well, thanks, Tim. Appreciate it. Absolutely. We got Du Bois hanging out. Yeah, what's going on? I'm happy to be here with, I would say, my favorite congressman.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I think Raleigh is the best. Thanks, bro. Well, I think it was the comment you made about immigration. Incidentally, everyone on the right is like, I like this guy. Yeah, I'm pretty simple, man. I'm sure I'm in. I like it. Very easy to please.
Starting point is 00:07:34 What's up, everyone? My name's Phil. I'm for all the remains. Carter? What's up, everyone? Carter here. Yeah, we were talking about Nicholas Cage before the show and lightened the mood a lot. But yeah, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Shout out to Jay Akamashi as well. I know that guy. He used to work at the gym that I was working. out at. But yeah, let's go into the news. Here's the news from the BBC. I just found all the classified stuff downstairs, Biden tells ghostwriter in recording. You know, it's tough to lead the news with a president, former president. It's been, it's almost two years now. He's not in office anymore. He was barely in office to begin with. He barely campaigned to begin with. So you know, for regular people, they're just thinking like, so what, right? But here's one point, what I want
Starting point is 00:08:17 point out. I see these people posting that they regret voting for Donald Trump. I saw Sean Strickland and Marjorie Taylor Green. And I'm sorry, I think y'all have forgotten what was going on during the Biden years with lockdowns, vaccine mandates, with the opening of the southern border, with Texas State Guard coming into a physical confrontation with federal authorities because the Biden administration was facilitating a criminal conspiracy against the United States. And then of course, you had them trying to imprison Donald Trump because he had daily briefings in boxes that he obviously didn't know about that were dropped off at Mar-a-Lago after he left office. And they said, well, it's classified, so you're going to go to prison, despite the fact that
Starting point is 00:09:01 Joe Biden had comparable documents, did not have the authority to have those documents, and even told his ghost writer, I found all the classified stuff, be careful. You know, you got to be careful with this stuff. Donald Trump as president had the authority to declassified documents. did not, and there was never any action taken against him. So when you come to me and say, oh, it's so bad now because the war is escalating, I say, listen, listen, I hear you on the war stuff. I'm not going to, you're allowed to be upset about all of that stuff, but to act like we would have been better off with Kamala Harris. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:09:36 I think it's evident that like, look, large swath of the population. I don't think you need to even look into politics to see that this is true. I have like a very high time preference, right? Like they just want immediate satisfaction, immediate results. And President Trump, while, yes, there's been a lot of immediate victories, I think that's safe to say. A lot of what he's done has set us up infrastructure-wise for success decades, decades, decades, which is rare because like in a democracy, you know, presidents are thinking four years at a time. You know, they're thinking, okay, well, I just got to survive this term and move on to the next. But like you look at like the big beautiful bill, for example, and the funding and where money was moved, where it was allocated,
Starting point is 00:10:12 et cetera. I mean, that kind of stuff sets us up long term for victory. So all that aside, to Tim's point, I mean, to repeat it, did we all forget, like, what we just went through? Not to just mention with Biden, but even Obama. I mean, like, these are, in recent memory, incredibly destructive corrosive forces that were in the White House. And now not do we just have a Republican that's like stopping the bleed? Because that would be one, I would be celebrating that. Even, heck, even George Bush, be like, hey, at least we got the boot of our neck for a little bit. We actually have a guy that's like moving the football down the field in President Trump, which is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Sure, okay, yeah, you might have some criticisms here and there, the vast majority of which I think happen to be a bit overblown. And there are some that we have serious disagreements with. But it's like, yeah, that's the president. He's governing 350 million people. I, you're going to have disagreements. I take a look. Look, Donald Trump did a very good job, in my opinion, in his first term, avoiding escalation of war, Abraham Accords and all these things. I voted for him because he was the less war president.
Starting point is 00:11:07 However, he inherits a lot more from Obama. he inherits more from Joe Biden. And then I think he takes responsibility for what's going on in Iran. But that being said, I'm sorry, as bad as all that is, there were things already happening before he got in. And when you take a look at the corruption under the Biden-Komala administration, I say Kamala because Kamala, Biden was not even there. We could not have dealt with that.
Starting point is 00:11:33 So I look at it out because I was talking about the escalation and we'll get into the war stuff in a second. But my attitude is I'm not a big fan of Ukraine. their government. As a country, I think they're great. I have friends from there, but I think their government is filthy, and I think that the United States had never justified our involvement in this war. But I will stress this, we've got an escalating war here. There was no argument against U.S. victory. You cannot like what's going on. But the United States has to win. We have to win for whoever we want to blame. So that being said, just to bring it back to the main
Starting point is 00:12:04 point, could you imagine where we would be right now if Kamala was president? It would not be better. Yeah, you know, look, I was listening to Victor David Hansen the other day, and he was making the point, and I think he's exactly right. Donald Trump is the first counter-revolutionary president, right? He's the first guy that has tried to start rolling back some of these policies that honestly got started in the progressive era, right, way back with Woodrow Wilson, trying to roll back some of the stuff that were the, if it wasn't started back then, it was the, obvious next step after things that were started back then. He's actually shut down the borders. He's actually trying to deport a significant number of people. And people that want to criticize Trump, they'll say, oh, well, Obama, you know, he deported more people. And that's just patently not true. He turned people away at the border. And those people were counted as deportations.
Starting point is 00:12:59 That is not the same thing. We had net negative migration last year. We've deported 250,000 more people at this point this year than we did last year. Something around three to three and a half million people have been deported so far between actual deportations and voluntary deportations
Starting point is 00:13:23 where they decided they would use the app and take the check that we're giving them. And that alone is great for the United States in my opinion. Never mind the stuff that the other tertiary things that don't get a lot of press that he's done. The stuff that he tried to do with
Starting point is 00:13:39 Doge. Grant that Doge was largely unsuccessful, but they did shrink the size and scope of the government sum. No president has done that in my entire lifetime, and I'm an old guy, right? Like, there is significant change with the fact that USAID has been dissolved. That's a massive, massive global thing. And you'll hear the left complain about, oh, these people are going to die because we're not giving the money, and these people are going to suffer because we're not giving them
Starting point is 00:14:05 money. And whereas that might be true for. as an argument, there might be people that don't get the U.S. giving them, you know, giving them foreign aid and stuff. But the amount of change that you're seeing in South America because of the disillusion of USAID, and now, granted, that I know this is, this, I don't have evidence that this is the case, but USAID goes away and right winger start winning all over South America. People are sick and tired of the socialist government. And without USAID, propping these governments up and propping up the left-leaning, left-leaning politicians, you see a massive change in
Starting point is 00:14:45 South America. And I think that that, in a longer term, to Tate's point, in a longer term, that's going to be a tremendous benefit for the United States, because then you're going to see, you're going to see more reliable governments down there that are aligned with the United States. And that plays into the whole, you know, Monroe Doctrine, looking at the Western Hemisphere as our immediate problem. I wonder if Kamala were to be elected, would the U.S. US just falter and slowly dissolve on the global stage as China becomes ascendant or China is ascendant. And with Trump, yeah, we're going to get a big war, but the United States is dominating the globe, economically, oil production, et cetera. And what we're seeing with all these conflicts, they're choking out
Starting point is 00:15:26 China, Russia, and Iran. Yeah, I mean, to first on Phil's point, one of the, and I'm on the Appropriations Committee where we got rid of USAID. We stopped funding. It was awesome. The other thing to remember is that we have lowered, we have diminished the budget of State Department by over 20% over the last two years under Trump. State Department is quite a bit smaller. Now, why are we getting these conservative victories in Latin America? Don't forget, the intelligence agencies run a lot of programs through USAID and otherwise. And so it's not just foreign aid. There's a lot of other stuff that goes on there.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Through those, you know. We had Mike Benz on on Friday, and he would make the argument that USAID and CIA are basically the same things. Yeah, they, you know, it's no secret out there that they have worked together or one has been used through the other in the past. So we're not subverting those elections anymore. And everything that goes on with USAID and what they were doing, you know, informing the public and all these other things, which is like sci ops and things like that that they had been involved with for a very long time. So there's no coincidence there. And just take a look back at history to Tim's point in terms of an ascendant China if Kamala were present. How do we get here on Ukraine?
Starting point is 00:16:48 Obama let Russia just walk right into Crimea does nothing. Nothing. Not only that. When he was talking to Medvedev, he implied, and this might be because he was naive or a novice at, you know, international politics, but he implied that once I was reelected, Putin can do what he wants. Yeah. He made, he said, once I win my reelection, I'll have a lot more later lenient, or I think we, I forgot what the quote was, but he said to Medvedev, you know, once I get reelected,
Starting point is 00:17:26 leeway, something like that. But he said, once I get reelected, you know, essentially the way that they understood it was Putin can do what he wants. And now this is what happened. We talked about this quite a bit that if the U.S. had put a no-fly zone over Ukraine, there never would have been an invasion from Russia because it would have been a declaration of war in the United States. Yeah. And if Trump were in office, it wouldn't have happened. Anyway, that's why nothing happened when he was in his first. So they're in Crimea. Then you have the red line in Syria. Obama does nothing on that. Yep. And then these guys do the, if you remember, under Secretary Clinton, the Russian reset. We're going to reset the relationship.
Starting point is 00:18:06 relationship with Russia. So we do a nuclear arms treaty, MPT 2.0, with them, might have been NPT. But so we do a 2.0 where we lowered our strategic deployed nuclear weapons to the same level as the Russians, but not addressing their tactical advantage over us on the border of Europe. So then how's Putin going to perceive that? We're weak. We are weak and we can just, they can just walk right over it. So then they just walk right into Crimea. And so this projection of strength and the idea that there is going to be consequences out there does actually prevent conflict. It is a deterrent and it keeps the world more safe. And so you have the same damn thing that has happened in Iran. No one did anything for decades. Obama hands them billions
Starting point is 00:19:02 of dollars, this fake Iran nuclear deal that they did. And all. all these other. So this has been slow walked, you know, just like walking dead into the point where, okay, they're two weeks from breakout period. What are we going to do? Well, I think it was Kamala Harris, like literally a few days before the invasion in Munich at the security conference was like, hey, by the way, Russia, if you make a move on Ukraine, we're going to like bolster NATO, move it right up, like as close as we can possibly get to your eastern border. So if you're Russia hearing that, you're like, oh, we need to make a move now. Yeah. That aside, what I'm trying to illustrate there is that that kind of gives you a look into what Kamala Harris' policy would have been on the Russia, Ukraine War, if she got into office.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I mean, we'd be looking at potentially a full-blown war with Russia. I mean, you'd think Iran's bad. Wait until you see a full-blown war with. Well, I think it's coming. Let's jump to the story from the Wall Street Journal. Iran launches surprise missile attack on U.S. forces. American interceptors shot down all of the projectiles, but the strikes will increase pressure on President Trump to launch an aggressive response. So this just broke right before, right as we were.
Starting point is 00:20:06 getting a production ready for the show. The U.S. was able to stop all of the attacks. But of course, there's now a question of what Donald Trump is going to do in response to this, and the conflict has been raging on. Of course, we also saw that this is, I'm sorry, that's the wrong story. Still matters, though. We'll get that. We'll get to that one. There was the Ukrainian strike in the Caspian Sea on Iranian targets. Iran vows retaliation against Ukraine. All of this is related. Iran is supplying drones to Russia, which they're using in Ukraine. The U.S. is backing Ukraine for natural gas reasons. This is escalating. And now at the Strait of Hormuz closed, I fear that China may actually get dragged into this. We don't know for sure.
Starting point is 00:20:47 The question is, what would happen if we did nothing? And the follow-up is, what do we do now? You know, let me add to that. Obviously, I have been outspoken against U.S. military intervention, support for, you know, the U.S. getting involved in Ukraine. We're, at this point of escalation where Ukraine strikes Iranian ships in the Caspian, and we're in it. We are in this conflict. We can't just, we're not going to advocate for U.S. defeat in this. I think it is fair that those that are critical of the U.S. war machine be critical of the administration, but we still have to be in support of the U.S. winning this one. I call it a rock in a hard place, but let me simplify it. I will stand by the United States and its allies and friends in this
Starting point is 00:21:34 conflict and we have to win it while still being upset that we are in it. But so that so so where would we be? What would what would these countries be doing had we done nothing? And where do we go from here watching this escalation? You know, you had um, Palmer Lucky kind of talking about this recently, which is pretty interesting. And in his assessment of the Iranians ability to meet this ramp up period for one-way attack drones was going to get to a point where if we were to try to stop their nuclear program, we would not be in a position to be able to do it. So there was like this unfortunate decision point that President Trump had to say, okay, what are we going to do? They're saying we're a couple weeks out, 10 days from breakout where they could have
Starting point is 00:22:30 nuclear weapons. They lied about their intermediate. and long range missile program. I clearly believe, and it seems to be the case, that we had a blind spot on how many one-way attack drones and some of these other armaments that they've had and how effective they've been in terms of their asymmetric capabilities where it takes us like Patriot missile system
Starting point is 00:22:53 to shoot them out of the air. It only costs them a fraction of that to build these things. So if you did nothing, I think you might potentially get the same result that looks somewhat different, which is, to your point, potentially regional instability and regional conflict. Well, I think the writing's been on the wall for a long time with the expansion of the Bricks nations, regardless of the nuances and how many missiles they might have, what their economy might look like, the end result of sitting back was that the United States would
Starting point is 00:23:28 become a secondary power in the planet. China would become the dominant global health. Hedgeman, and we would live under the rules of the Chinese Communist Party as it pertains to international trade and foreign affairs. And the American people, their standard of living would decline rapidly, and they would be pissed off to a great degree. Oh, if people are upset about interest rates now, if we get supplanted as the reserve currency in the world, do a Google search of what your mortgage interest rate. I mean, you're talking double digit, I mean, just through the freaking roof to be able to borrow money. That, that, us as the reserve currency of the world, we all benefit from that here in the United States. You heard what Xi Jinping said about Thucydides
Starting point is 00:24:14 trap. He's quoted as saying that I hope that China in the United States can avoid Thucydides trap, which are you familiar with the phrase what it means? No, good. Whenever a dominant economic power is about to be supplanted by a rising power, there's a tendency for war to break out. I believe in 16 of the 16 past historical contexts of this empire flipping, 12 resulted in grand warfare. For Xi Jinping to say this, there's an underlying threat. China is going to supplant the United States, and I hope we don't fight about it. I mean, look, in 2021 was when China met in Alaska. They met Blinken and they met Sullivan. And they specifically said the United States, does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Right? And that was five years ago. Yeah. And that has totally changed since, since President Trump got back into office. This is what's really fascinating about, about war. Now, I certainly don't trust all of the elements of foreign war intervention. Otherwise, there's a lot of corporations that are hoping for, you know, big contracts or whatever. But there is an underlying truth in that the American people, find foreign war deeply unpopular. But could you imagine what would happen if the U.S. lost the reserve currency? The American people would be ten times angrier.
Starting point is 00:25:43 So I wonder, right, are we better off as a nation just explaining literally what it is the United States does internationally to maintain global shipping security and the U.S. standard of living? Because I think if the U.S. government just came out and flat out said, if you want that $1,000 MacBook, and you don't want to cost $10,000, yeah, it means we're going to war with Iran. And then people are going to be like, okay. That's what it is. I mean, it's like, how do you package this, like, geopolitical, like, game out, like, in a way that's, like, sexy? Because, like, the problem here is anytime you're fighting, you know, anytime you're acting and operating defensively, like, we're trying to, like, sort of defend our interest overseas, that is, like, there's such much political, you know, attrition that occurs in that instance versus, like, you know, a Venezuela style operation, we go in, we get out, oh, look at this is awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:31 hear some edits, take a look. Everyone's like, this is sick. But when you're, like, fighting a war for, like, very sophisticated, complex reasons that would, like, require quite a bit of time to, like, truly flush out, like, all the different avenues this could go, game out with the alternative if we didn't do anything, the alternative of, you know, the war went slightly differently. That kind of stuff, like, a lot of the American people just get lost right away, and there's, like, I don't know, why are we in this war in the first place?
Starting point is 00:26:51 That's kind of the question always goes back to. Versus, like, you know, China and Russia and Iran, I guess, all three, they don't really have to, like, explain anything. They can just operate and then, you know, do whatever they need to do or whatever they feel like they need to do. And whether or not the people support it is like immaterial. I want to address at least as one comment. Someone chatted saying none of this is true to him. I'm just going to say this.
Starting point is 00:27:13 The U.S. does not manufacture at a level where the American people should be having this standard of living. If you were to just look at U.S. exports and manufacturing, our standard of living would be a lot lower. But we control the global reserve currency. And the deal is supposed to be that we have this massive military and navy that keeps shipping lanes open for everybody so they can freely go about and trade. And for that, they will use the U.S. dollar, which we don't have to do anything but print and other countries have to purchase. Now, you may not like that and that's okay and you can complain about that system, but it is a fact. The American standard of living is substantially higher because of this global arrangement. Whatever your issue with it may be, it is true.
Starting point is 00:27:57 And so my point again is, you don't have to be in favor of war. You can actively oppose the war. You can be mad about all of that stuff. But when we do the macro level statistics, I assure you the majority of this country would lose their ish. If the standard of living declined because the rest of the world got off the petro dollar system and the U.S. had to trade for a one currency which China to buy oil, we would be at a massive detriment. your laptops would cost $10,000, your cars would cost $100,000. People are losing their mind or people lose their mind when gas goes up by 50 cents or a dollar.
Starting point is 00:28:38 People are losing their mind now because their dollar doesn't go as far at the grocery store. And people are, you know, there are people out there that are suffering because of it. But people are willing to say, oh, they're willing to say, you know, Donald Trump didn't do anything because things aren't easier for me. If the, to Tim's point, if the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, were not still the U.S. reserve currency, if the dollar were not being traded all over the world, if oil were not traded in
Starting point is 00:29:03 dollars, people would have like the idea of riots that you saw or the riots that we saw during the George Floyd riots, those would be comically small. Let me just stress. If the Democratic Party was not pushing gay communism so hard, they would
Starting point is 00:29:19 get all of the funding they could want for any war at any point. Click of a button. They get vote. But they've become so detestable. because they have a whack-a-loon progressive left elements, and they cater to it, that everybody backs off. Nobody wants to be involved in whatever it is they're doing. What is it? Their net favorability is minus 26, some insane number in the latest poll that CNN put out.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Yeah, one of the things, though, and we've talked about this, the long-term strategy of what Trump is doing, through tariffs, through reshoring industry, those things that we're doing. And I've talked a lot about this, written an article about it. and I got another one coming out. Industrial deterrence. If you have the capacity to build faster and stronger than your competitors, it does have a deterrent effect. Why is China so strong? They're representing over 30% of global manufacturing on their shores.
Starting point is 00:30:19 How did we win World War II? We were able to build things faster than they could destroy them. We kept building and building and building. and turn the industry into the war machine. Right now, obviously, we don't have the capacity to do that. But that's part of the reason President Trump is bringing this back because it does have a deterrent effect on conflicts and adversaries around the world. And last thing I'd say, don't forget what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And I said this on Fox News last week. China, it is, there are reasons to believe, which would be the correct way to say that without getting into something classified, reasons to believe there are reasons to believe that China is providing targeting information to the Iranians if you look at that strike
Starting point is 00:31:06 where we lost three service members here just recently in Jordan it was too precise it was too on the nose and how the hell did they even know they were there and their ability to do that that was not in the Iranian capability set and there's reason to believe that the Chinese
Starting point is 00:31:24 or the Russians likely the Chinese provided targeting information to the Iranians. That makes a lot of sense because half of these Iranian strikes are like which ways Israel? I don't know they'll just shoot it in that jump right. And then all of a sudden now they're like getting these like super precise strikes. They're just like fire towards the sun as it sets. To your point, Riley, about the production capacity. That's one of the reasons why companies like Palmer Lucky Zandrel,
Starting point is 00:31:50 that company actually gives me hope for it. at the very least, the U.S.'s' ability to re-industrialize in at least the Defense Department, right? Because, I mean, they just rolled out the first jet fighter that's unmanned. I saw that. Yeah, that's going to, that'll fly with, it'll fly with like the F-22 or with the F-33. So basically, every, every F-30, I think it's F-35, we'll have two wingmen that are drones that are up there. So basically it's like a small squadron for every individual pilot. And one of Palmer Lucky's, one of the core principles that he has is he wants to be able to make these drones by using existing materials.
Starting point is 00:32:38 He like so many of our military assets that are amazingly capable, but they require very specialized parts from specialized locations. And essentially Paul Mulucky said in an interview, he's like, he's like, I know that, Radio Shack doesn't exist anymore. But I want you to be able, I want to be able to make weapons that are, that are cutting edge using parts that you could go down to the hardware store and get, that you could get at Radio Shack,
Starting point is 00:33:02 if you're an old guy. Yeah, and look, I've been fortunate enough to go out there and look at his facility. And I'll tell, it is mine. Where is it based out of it? Ohio.
Starting point is 00:33:12 He's in Orange County. Oh, okay. So the planes are rolling out of Ohio. Yeah, that's the Arsenal facility they put out in Ohio. But so. Oh, man. You think about a Tomahawk cruise missile. It costs us over a million dollars a pop, 1.5, 1.3 million dollars a pop, something like that for a Tomahawk cruise missile.
Starting point is 00:33:31 He has designed something that can have the exact same effect for a couple hundred thousand bucks. Yep. And all manufactured in the United States, we don't need chips from Taiwan, we don't need any of this other stuff. It's all indigenous here within the United States close. But so much of war I find to be silly. like, let's be real, the idea of a war crime, in my opinion, like, I understand what we're trying to accomplish. We're trying to be somewhat reserved and gentlemanly as we stop someone we view as an adversary. But the reality is, when it comes to a lot of these countries, they have no concept
Starting point is 00:34:06 of a crime and war, only killing you. And they'll use any method that they can. So we are constrained by our morals and our decorum and our enemies are not. We do not have the same We're constrained by democracy as well, which is a great thing. Look, I am no fan of war. I don't like wars. I don't want us to be in conflict if it is avoidable. If it is avoidable, I don't like it. But, you know, Carl Van Klausowitz, right, the guy who, great book if you haven't read it on war, I'm sure Phil's read it and some others. Politics. War is the extension of politics and the objective of it is of it is to compel my enemy to do my will. Right. You know, you ever played the game Civilization? No, I haven't played that. Oh, you got to play Civilization. I don't know about it. Civ 2 through what, 5 are really good?
Starting point is 00:34:56 So 5's the best one. Five, yeah. So 6 is just washed. Here's what I absolutely love, at least about civilization too. This is a game for those aren't familiar where you build a civilization. You have settlers. It starts in like 4,000 BC and you advance over time. When you decide to make your country a democracy or a republic, it's beautiful. your production, your wealth skyrockets.
Starting point is 00:35:19 There's a bonus to production when you allow the people to privately trade amongst themselves and it rapidly develops economically. And then you can be literally as the player, as the executive of this nation you've built up, watch your adversaries build nuclear weapons and they're lining them up around your border and you're like, okay, they're going to nuke us. We need to go and stop them. And when you send a military unit to strike their nuclear warhead or whatever, it'll give you a prompt saying you have been voted down by Congress, your action has been stopped.
Starting point is 00:35:52 So you can't take, so you're sitting there watching it. I feel like you give every kid the civilization game to play and they're going to be like, why do we have this government? This is insane. Like we know our adversaries seek to massacre us and we live in a system where we're going to vote. Now, the problem ultimately I have is not, first of all, I'm not a fan of democracy. democracy is a general term I get, but literal democracy where you have no strong central government, never just votes. I like constitutional republicanism.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Yes. But my concern is I don't think people in this country understand enough of what is going on. I believe this largely is the fault of the United States in how we've handled media. And we don't explain to the people of the United States legitimately and honestly what it is the United States does for the world and what we want for our allies. So we only ever get these, they hate us for our freedom nonsense. And then any learned person, and I don't mean like omniscient, they're going to say, okay, that's BS. And now you've insulted me and now I don't support you in this effort.
Starting point is 00:36:56 I feel like if the United States were to be completely honest and said, look, we don't want reckless death. We don't want collateral damage. But we will not allow the Iranians to supply the Russians with weapons against our friends. we will not allow the Chinese economic block to destroy American trade and everything we have built. And for this, it may come to war. Yeah. Well, I mean, it would help. You got to have a deter an effect out there.
Starting point is 00:37:21 We have to be able to deter our enemies. And if it's threat of conflict that leads to conflict or if it is our industrial capacity or otherwise, but it has to be credible. Yeah. It has to be credible or it doesn't mean anything. Let me throw something to this. Laura Lumer recently flipped on the cause of Ukraine, and she's been getting glowing write-ups from the corporate press. I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I believe that the reason she flipped on the issue, it is not so, it is overly simplistic. She says that she was duped by Russian propaganda or whatever. No, I think the issue is this. Initially, Donald Trump did not want escalation in Eastern Europe. And Laura Lumer is the biggest Trump supporter there is. and she is in direct communication with Trump and his team and his admin. And they say, we do not want to be involved in what's going on Ukraine. Laura Lumer comes out.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Ukraine is bad. We don't want to be involved. Now that the war has escalated and obviously Iran is supplying the Russians with weapons. Ukraine has launched a strike against the Iranians. This war has merged. And the Trump administration is likely now coming to the conclusion. That's it. We are in with Ukraine and this is expanding.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And they've conveyed it to Laura Lumer, who now comes out, and says, we need to get on board with Ukraine. Not because we think that their government are good people, not because we are going to forget whatever it is they may have done in the past that we disagreed with, but because we have a conflict budding between the Bricks nations and the Western and Western powers. And we are not going to align. We're not going to be opposed to those that are fighting with us. We are going to get behind Ukraine because they are on our side in this war. And China is part of this. China is part of this as well. They are absolutely part this. And the thing that keeps me up at night when I think about this, the United States,
Starting point is 00:39:09 we have never defeated an enemy with a population larger than ours and an economy of peer size. Wow. We never have. It's never happened. And the Europeans are useless. Yeah, and the Europeans are useless. It scares the hell out of me, but that is the reality. You know, it's like, we, we are behind. Yeah. We are behind. You know what? You know, I just love about this. Like, The stuff that we talk about on this show is probably 1% of the truth because we have no access to classified information. You probably know a lot more than we do. But China also knows a lot more than all of us as well based on just their plans alone. But just looking at what Trump has done.
Starting point is 00:39:50 And this is not to condemn or condone, but it's masterfully done. When you look at the Obama administration, it was a miserable failure. No, don't get me wrong. There are some things. I'm sure people will praise something Trump's eventually going to come to realize. maybe Obama did right. But you take a look at what's going on right now, and we've laid this out a million and one times on this show.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Trump's securing of the Panama Canal, his pacification of the Caribbean with getting rid of the narco drug traffickers and the violence, opening up trade routes, working to secure the Northwest Passage in Greenland, the Gulf of America become the largest oil export location on the planet, and the shuttering of the Strait of Hormuz, cutting China off from 44% of its energy for the past six, what is it, five months now.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Now, when you look at all of that, my position has always been that the goal of the war with Iran is to close the strait of Hormuz to cut off our adversaries from their energy. If you want to, what is Sun Tzu say? You win the war before it begins. You cripple China and shut their economy down to the best of your ability. And then slowly through attrition over time, they are no longer a threat. And you can avoid war this way. That being said, with Iran using the Kavana,
Starting point is 00:41:02 Caspian to transport weapons to the Russians to fight the Ukrainians. It's now lumped into one big conflict. I know Phil and I had this conversation and Phil's not so confident, but I believe that China has no choice but to get involved in a, like to escalate to connect to conflict. As you mentioned as a moment ago, Riley, they had to have been giving this information or there's a reason to believe they are providing the intelligence. But we've also seen flights from China going into Iran at the start of this conflict. And the presumption was it was targeting materials. It was chips for missiles so they could build more weapons. There is no reality in my view where China is not supplying Russia and Iran with targeting materials, weapons, resources,
Starting point is 00:41:46 or otherwise. Sooner or later, especially with them getting cut off, they're going to have to make a decision, just economically die or fight for their energy, which means direct conflict in the straight or with the United States. And they are facing. this population bubble that's going to burst through their one-child policy. So they have to put themselves in a strategically strengthened position for when they get there. All of these manufacturing jobs and everything else that they have. There's not going to be people to replace them, this one-child policy, which was abhorrent, terrible, awful, forced abortion policy. It's going to come back to haunt them here now. And so that's going to be a massive problem for
Starting point is 00:42:28 them that they're going to have to deal with. And to your point, if we can weaken them and weight them out to that point, I think it's a pretty good position. And the Chinese are trying to stick the landing as they transition, like a more service-based economy as well, because they were trying to offshore to Africa and Pakistan and Bangladesh, et cetera. Now they're in this position where they're like, oh, shoot, we got to put a pause on that. It changes their entire economic outlook.
Starting point is 00:42:52 For Zelensky, it was easy. He just had to lock in and put a blazer on and he was going to get American support. We outline, like, we told them. We're like, dude, we'll fund you. Just like, like, don't dress like a slob. He's like, oh, okay, is that easy? I got to say this. I got to defend them on this one.
Starting point is 00:43:08 He was getting attacked by conservatives for not wearing a suit. He was wearing a suit. It just wasn't like a traditional business suit. It was like it's war costume. It looked like a hybrid between a military uniform and a suit. And there were people being like,
Starting point is 00:43:19 that's not a suit. And I'm like, it's a designer suit. Come on, guys. I'm not going to sit here and complain about the guy's clothing. I thought it kind of looked like a Bruce Lee military outfit, kind of like hybrid, you know. So let me ask you what you think. Do you think that this is a stronger question, and I'm not suggesting the answer is yes, but do you believe war with China is inevitable?
Starting point is 00:43:40 No. I don't think it is. I don't think it's inevitable, but I think proxy conflicts are. I think we're in them. And we're in them. But I do think that if Trump's play is isolate China's energy, China really is. China really is between a rock and a hard place at this point where do they decide to enter into a kinetic conflict with the West, not just the United States, but our allies. If they do, they risk getting flattened. At the same time, if they do nothing, they will just slowly decline.
Starting point is 00:44:10 So it's a pick your poison for China. The question is, what are they going to choose to do? Now, to go back to the original point, if Kamala had one, and I'm China, I'm invading Taiwan. Oh, just bang. What are you going to do? She couldn't even articulate what she'd want to happen to the troops. She'd say something nonsensical, like, the true goal of our military operation in the sea is to see the operation of the military. Literally. It'd be like, what? The Japanese would be on the chopping block.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I mean, the street of Hormuz closed down, it's screwing over the Chinese, but it's also screwing over the Japanese. I mean, they're like bond markets completely melting down there in free fall. Like, they'd be on the chopping block. And they're one of our few allies that's actually at least putting a little fight, you know, showing a little fight. And then it all sparks off there. North Koreans go. The Chinese go. He's been waiting, dude.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I saw they opened up a fake IKEA and Pyonging. They're planting something. They're building furniture. Oh, there's a fake, and they're building furniture. Does it say IKEA? Oh, it looks like just like an IKEA, but then IKEA came out like, we didn't sell anything. Every third, every third meatball is actually just a ball of dirt.
Starting point is 00:45:13 It's a lot of Swedish meatballs. I was thinking about the meatballs too. I'm like, like rat ankles or something. Yeah, I don't know. I think the U.S. is particularly bad. at messaging. Just like, what happened? We used to have a department of censorship. Like, we used to be a brutal people. I'm not, I'm not suggesting we go back to that. I'm just saying, like, CNN? Is it, is it the best that the, the, the, the U.S. intelligence agencies can do MS now,
Starting point is 00:45:38 really? And people are, like, freaking out about everything. Oh, Trump's too mean to Biden or whatever. I'm like, Jackson called Buchanan gay. So it's like, you know, I think we've been through. This has, like, gone back to the beginning. Which one of them was calling the other one? Hermaphrodite. That was Adams Jefferson. They were homies. They were homies. They were like buddies.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And he's like, hey, put that in the Philadelphia and go to be hilarious. That was truth social before Trump thankfully invented truth social is you used to just have to settle it in like the newspapers. Wait until he sees this next week. You used to have a time where leaders, elected officials could go to the media and be like, I know you all know about this. Can you keep a lid on it? We have something about, and they're not going to do that now.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Oh, yeah. It's in the best interest of the American people. They don't care about that. I have to say, I think, you know, of all of the things that I've seen in terms of foreign policy and statements on the president, be at the, you know, China meeting with Blinken, the scariest thing is Laurelumer coming out and saying, I am fully behind Ukraine at this point. Because she does not just change her opinion lightly. And I know that she's come out.
Starting point is 00:46:43 And again, I mentioned this, but she's saying like, oh, I fell for Russian propaganda. I think that, again, is a mistake in, well, I mean, look, if she's genuine, she's genuine, I'm not trying to impugn her honor or anything like that. The media tried claiming I was insulting her, which absolutely was not. I think that Laura has access to information to the administration, and I think she's seen the seriousness of this escalation in the conflict. They're saying the wars are merging. And I think her attitude is like, holy crap, I may not like Ukraine, but we have to get behind them at this point. Yeah, you know, the thing is with her, and I know her detractors are, you know, she's nutty and she's actually done some pretty good reporting to be fair. I mean, she's done some really good
Starting point is 00:47:21 reporting. And I mean, fair is fair on that. And I think people need to respect. I think they're scared of her. Yeah, probably. What is this? We struck back. We struck Iraq with the Saudis. Where's that breaking? Is that just check sent in common Twitter. Listen, I said this earlier. And I, guys, like, I don't care. What is this? Just 26 minutes ago. I'm going to, I'm going to say it very, very simply. I have said everything that I can say in opposition to U.S. involvement in Eastern Europe and in opposition to U.S. intervention in the Middle East, we are here. I'm not going to ever argue against the United States. The United States must win in all of these efforts. You can be mad that it happened. You can fight to make sure it doesn't
Starting point is 00:48:06 happen. And I think we hear rejected and resisted military intervention and conflict. We are in it now. We will see what happens. It is not a question of, are we arguing for or against with the U.S. in this conflict. The question is, will we keep a hand in the steering wheel and be the voice of reason to make sure things don't get out of control? That being said, I am going to be in support of the United States and her allies. You can complain and we can complain and I've complained. 100%. But what do we do? Honest question, because I can bang my hand the table a million times. Am I supposed to sit here and be like, well, I hate Ukraine so the U.S. should lose? Yeah. I can't do that. It's like the plane's in the air. Would you cheer in a crash?
Starting point is 00:48:46 Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. The runway. What are you, a libertarian? We can deal with accountability, which I think is rare to begin with. But we can, like, if you are mad about this conflict and how it started and whoever's involved, that's something to figure out after we land the plane and the tailspin. Yeah. I'd want to point this out, though.
Starting point is 00:49:05 U.S. Saudi forces. Does that happen without the Abram Accords? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so. Tell someone 10 years ago we're doing joint-tons. Let me grab this from CENTCOM. U.S. Central Command of the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces. conducted prison strikes in Iraq on July 28th against Iran aligned terrorists and the IRGC
Starting point is 00:49:23 directed to attack U.S. forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. The unwarranted attack against the U.S. forces were not successful. From February through April, there were more than 600 attempted attacks on U.S. citizens and facilities by Iran aligned terrorist militias in Iraq. The IRGC and its terrorist proxies must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response. You know, I am genuinely irritated by the constant foreign propaganda and at the same time, failures of U.S. intelligence in actually being convincing to the American people. It's all just garbled nonsense half the time. Is the United States really this impotent when it comes to dealing with Russia and Chinese propaganda? Well, I mean, we have to put out statements. We don't have like an authoritarian central propaganda wing, at least now that U.S. say it's gone that we don't. What I'm talking about is they have they have old spooks going on MS now and CNN giving you the most banal talking points that are just unconvincing or that too.
Starting point is 00:50:24 I mean like you're convincing no one. They're you know the the left and the Democrats are just trying to counter signal the Trump administration because we all know if this was if this was a Democrat in office they would be you know cheering on whatever the the military decided to do. It's not like the Democrats are, at least the Old Guard DNC, right? Democrats, I'm not sure that the DSA would be this, would be this kind of, the same kind of opinion about going into a foreign country or whatever. But the Old Guard Democrats, they would be up there telling you why. Hillary Clinton loves this stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Absolutely. That's what she lives for. She wanted war with Russia right off the bat. I recall, I mean, I was a youngster, but no way. She was, like, complaining that Barack Obama's foreign policy would be too. weak. Yeah. Yeah. It was so insanely weak. I mean, we've talked, we've talked about this ad nauseum, the Qatar Turkey pipeline, U.S. interests of the 2000s with offsetting Russian gas prime gas monopolies. The Obama administration miserably failed in every capacity as it comes to this escalation,
Starting point is 00:51:28 this conflict. When it comes to Ukraine, all of this attempts at soft power just failed. And with all due respect, I have said this from the get-go, Russia is in the wrong on the invasion of Ukraine. they lost the soft power battle. The U.S. used manipulation, but I got to tell you, having been on the ground in Kiev, the people there don't like the Russians. It's not that they hate Russia. They're in a trade agreement. The issue was for a lot of the urban Kievians, or whatever you want to call them,
Starting point is 00:51:54 the history of Russia and Ukraine is not a good history. So when they get an offer of a trade agreement with the EU and a potential to join the Schengen zone, these people were ecstatic. It was like being told you're going to win the lottery. The Russian Trade Federation wasn't offering them anything. So they wanted to go with the EU and Russia could not handle it because they would lose Crimea and their only warm water port. The argument we get for many people is, well, Russia could have just built in Sochi or one of his other cities, you're not going to convince the Russians, especially considering it's mountainous, to abandon a $300 billion military base and their flag where they house their flagship in the Black Sea. You're not going to say just move.
Starting point is 00:52:30 They're not going to do it. They're going to take Crimea. And as you already mentioned, the Biden administration was too impotent to do anything about it. Now, again, I'm not saying that he's that Obama is the bad guy in that capacity. Russia decided to seize territory and invade because they lost the soft power battle. And my opinion is the soft power is the appropriate way to do things. You avoid war, you offer up capital, resources, economics, and when you win, you win, but you have to be prepared for some lunatic to swing at you.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And Barack Obama was not prepared for that. They walked in there with that firing a shot. Yeah. Not one shot fired. just walked right in. And the soft power is so vital. I mean, this is why Trump wants a new Rush Hour movie is so we don't have war with China.
Starting point is 00:53:14 We have a Sino-Anglo agreement 2.0. Well, it's to help Chris Tucker get back on his feet, you know? Is Jackie Chan still doing all of his own stunts? He's going to, I hope so I'm not going. Yeah, Jackie Chan's doing serious movies now. Have you seen these? For him. He's locked in.
Starting point is 00:53:27 They're cool. Riley, I wanted to ask you, not his rep, probably, but just as Riley. Like, after the Iranians instigated this latest, like, round of fighting, obviously. From my perspective and, like, from a lot of people's perspectives, it seems like the IRGC and the Iranian civilian government are just, like, not on the same page whatsoever, because it seemed like the Iranian civil government was, the civilian government, were the ones that, you know, agreed to the MOU that J.D. I mean, it's listening to J.D. Vance talk about it on, on Rogan. It seems like the IRC, I'm not quite gone rogue,
Starting point is 00:53:55 but they really do seem to just not be on the same page with Tehran whatsoever and so far. Yeah, I mean, I think one of the things to think about here is, The entire top echelon of the Iranian leadership was eliminated. Now, that was the old guard, right, who were very much Islamic radical fundamentalists that were in alignment with the IRGC. This new generation, who has now stepped up into those leadership roles, are more nationalist-driven, I think I'd say, than Islamic, they weren't around for the revolution, is what I'd say.
Starting point is 00:54:30 They weren't alive for it, right? So they're younger. Of course, they're Islamic radicals, but they're not driven by that same revolutionary ideology that Colmeny and everybody else brought to fruition, right? I mean, they fought the revolution. They won it, which makes them do more irrational type things, right? This new group of leadership are more like state actors, I guess is what I'd say. Certainly more interested in state craft, which is what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:55:01 the IRGC, they're on the other side, right? They're fighting the jihad, right? I mean, they're out, they're fighting, you know, the great Satan, the Holy War, and all that. So there certainly is a disconnect in between, I would say, the civilian leadership and the IRGC military leadership. Now, do they ultimately want the same thing, I think certainly? But how they get there, I think, is a little bit different. I mean, this new leadership, they want to be legitimized.
Starting point is 00:55:30 and if they're not, you know, they're probably going to end up getting killed by their own population if they don't get this thing under control. Do you think that was the calculation from the admin was breaking up that link between the IRGC and this feeling? I mean, like that super strong ideological link. I think that that was certainly a consideration in it. And obviously there's a lot of other intelligence assets that were fed into it. No one had better penetration into the IRGC on planet Earth than the Israelis. I mean, they were, they had a guy, this is, I'm sure you all know this story, but the dentist to the IRGC generals and top leadership was an Israeli asset. And he was putting in crowns and fillings into their teeth with bugs in them.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Jeez. Yeah. I mean, they knew, that's how they knew exactly where they wore at every moment. What is what is what in your view like what is going on with this weird bifurcation on the right where you've got you know people like Tucker now deeply critical of Donald Trump you've got this sort of I don't know what you'd want to call it but this ascendant and I don't want to say they're explicitly anti-Israel but there is a expansion among the youth on the right and the left but my question is on the right completely anti-Israel in every capacity to an extreme degree because I consider myself to be. be fairly ambivalent on the issue of Israel, like, should we be providing military funding to foreign countries like this? Not without good justification. So I'd be in favor of cutting that military funding. But you look on the internet and you look at these people and it's like, Israel killed Charlie Kirk or their response for every major conspiracy or the earth is actually flat
Starting point is 00:57:14 and the Jews are keeping us believing it's round. Like this degree of insanity. I understand it's a lot of people who are like, that's a stromantam. I have differentiated between the whack-a-loon conspiracies, which is Israel-Darrangement syndrome. and the genuine identity of there are people whose core identity on the right is just anti-Israel. Yeah. Look, there is an obvious Venn diagram of circles, our interest, and Israeli interests, that have a lot of overlap, right? Are they our strongest and best ally in the Middle East? Is that even arguable? Yeah. I mean, like, is there somebody else who's more aligned with us? No, there's not. but I think part of it though is to be fair to some folks out there if you say anything on
Starting point is 00:58:04 Israel then you get you get whacked right I mean if you're anti-semitic yeah if you say literally whacked do you know no not not literally not I mean there's a lot of people going like yes he's right no no no not literally not literally you know they come for your political career they say you know you're an anti-Semite yeah and look we are good enough allies the United States in Israel. Well, I think it's fair to say, hey, we might not agree on X issue. I mean, we trash talk to the UK all the time. They deserve it. And they deserve it. And we're still allies. So I, you know, for now. For now. For now. We should, we should have separated. I guess I ask because. One ocean's not enough. We need to get another ocean.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, especially around 250. I'll give you my complete and honest take. on everything. I think that the Biden administration launched a psychological operation on the United States targeting me, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin and others with the tenant media a fiasco. It's a Tennessee-based company licensed one of our shows. And then Merrick Garland goes on TV announcing that these influences are secretly getting paid by Russia to create the insinuation that my views on U.S. support for Ukraine were actually being pushed by the Russians, which is totally fabricated. That's why I say the U.S. propaganda apparatus is abysmally retarded. The stupidest thing about it. But I guess it works for half the country. All does is create
Starting point is 00:59:28 division and animosity. So I'm trying to wrap my head around what it is there trying to do. But that being said, I fully am cognizant and I've discussed on this show, even going well before the tenant fiasco, foreign countries do manipulate U.S. politics. Yeah. We've had Al Jazeera plus in this country getting billions of views promoting intersectional feminism and the far left. This influence absolutely is here. So regardless of who's going to blame each other, point the finger whoever you want. My question is, why haven't we stopped it? Yeah, look, it's our biggest strength and our biggest weakness is the openness of the First Amendment and our freedom of speech and the media that's out there. It's our greatest strength. It's our greatest weakness at the same time,
Starting point is 01:00:09 because they're able to go influence through media outlets and social media and otherwise the view that people have of the United States and otherwise on different foreign policy the issues, whether we're talking about Iran or this or that. Then we lose. You know, it's a sad reality, but can we just be mathematically sound? If it is the case that the United States is incapable of defending itself from psychological operations from foreigners due to our own constitutional constraints, which I'm not saying we should do away with or anything like that, this is just the arithmetic.
Starting point is 01:00:42 If China, Iran, and Russia are able to manipulate influencers both foreign and domestic, and we are incapable of stopping it, then we just lose. then the narrative of the United States among most young people will become that the United States is bad, should be destroyed. The Constitution is wrong and should be abolished. And that's what we are starting to see among young people. And you get a Biden administration that lets in 10 to 10 to 20 million people who do not share our values. So what do you do? I mean, I look at what the Biden administration did.
Starting point is 01:01:14 And it looks like it's only the destruction of the core identity of America. What are we supposed to do? well look i mean and that's why thank god we got donald trump we have shut down the border i think don't yeah usa ad's gone and look i think trump does to many americans speak with this truth and clarity which is why he's popular right it's why he's the president is that he was willing to say things that everybody was thinking and they thought were true and so i i do think that there is a lane for being honest, being open, and just cutting through all the BS as President Trump has done for the last 10 years.
Starting point is 01:01:59 I guess when I look back at like 10 years ago, Facebook and Twitter at the time had backdoors for intel agencies for the FBI, for the CIA to come in flag things they wanted to remove. They were doing weekly phone calls. And I'm just thinking back like, well, they tried. I mean, they were really bad at it. That's what's crazy. I think if they never tried doing gay communism, then the establishment machine state would have just maintained total control unabated. But they come out with this weird gay communism stuff overnight. And like half of my generation, more than half, most young people
Starting point is 01:02:39 are like, we reject this and you make them vote for Trump. So then when I think of that, I'm like, maybe they're actually really smart and Trump is what they actually wanted the whole time. I have no idea I mean to your point To your point about the gay communism stuff right Like that's really what kind of activated The normal people is the idea of a man going into the bathroom with With your daughter or with kids like
Starting point is 01:03:08 The stuff that they had at Target right the Dylan Mulvaney being the spokesperson for Bud Light The people that weren't interested in politics and thought, you know, didn't think about this kind of stuff. Then it was shoved into their face. I think it partially because of the COVID stuff, the videos that were being disseminated of what's going on inside classrooms and then seeing these kind of like crazy things. Because, you know, Tim points it out a lot and it's true like, you know, um, Dennis Prager was on Bill Maher and he was like, they're putting, they're putting tampons in the more in the boys bathroom because they're saying that
Starting point is 01:03:46 boys can menstruate. And they laughed at him. And I remember this is a while ago now, but I was making jokes with the band about how prevalent trans people were becoming. And they were like, why do you care about it? And I can't say the word that they said because we were dudes in a band talking about
Starting point is 01:04:03 trans people in like 2016. I'm like, this is going to be a big deal. I was like, you watch and they're like, you're crazy, dude, you're weird. You're too involved in politics, blah, blah, blah. You need to, you know, put the put the put the put twitter down or whatever lo and behold i was right this was not only a big deal it was the deciding factor for people to become politically active for a lot of people because
Starting point is 01:04:27 these these these ideas that the left has that they truly believe are possible but fly in the face of just actual reality right like socialism has as as an economic system it has never worked anywhere. It always destroys an economy. It always ruins countries. And yet, they still continue to do things. Like, in New York, doing rent control. Every time you try rent control,
Starting point is 01:04:55 it ends up hurting the people that can't find places to live. It drives the cost of rent up in places that aren't rent controlled. And the places that are rent controlled, they fall to crap because the people that own the buildings aren't going to have the money to, aren't going to be able to make the money back that they invest in a place.
Starting point is 01:05:11 These things are not conflicts of policy. They are conflicts with reality. You know, they really are. You know, there was a really funny post. Someone said, I hate capitalism, how it makes me have to work every day. I just want to feel something. And I saw that now as like, you're not met at capitalism. You're met at entropy. Yeah. I have to work every day because of the laws of physics, not because of capitalism. That post has two and a half million views now because everybody's sharing it because it's so
Starting point is 01:05:42 dumb. And I mean, you're exactly right. They are mad at entropy. They're mad at the fact that just existing doesn't automatically provide you with all the things, not just the things you need, but with a lifestyle that they see people have on Instagram. Because in the United States, even homeless people have smartphones. Right. It's like, literally, 98% of Americans have smartphones. and that means that most homeless people have a smartphone. You know, you have this amazing technology in your pocket and you live on the streets. Most of the time it's because you choose to do things that mean that you have to live on the streets or you choose to live on the street because you don't want the responsibility.
Starting point is 01:06:30 It's not a question of whether people can actually feed themselves or provide the basic necessities. It's that they want a better lifestyle than they have, you know? And like I said, it is just, it's things that don't align with reality. And they refuse to admit that there are certain things about existing at all that are required to continue your existence. And one of them is... The death of purpose is the death of a civilization. If individuals lose purpose, and look, I think God has given all of us,
Starting point is 01:07:07 all of us, some type of talent. and to continue that work and do that work in that talent that God has given us is to continue his work here on earth. And that is how you're going to find some fulfillment, I think, in life. And absent of purpose, what do you get? You get drug addiction, you get depression, suicide, sometimes violent. I mean, we've seen this. You get a society where more people smoke weed than smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.
Starting point is 01:07:37 I just saw that today. Yeah. That is a terrible thing. We need to bring back cigarettes. We need a nicotine, caffeine, fueled. You know what's sad is that I am all about those things. Nicotine, caffeine, creatine, protein, protein. That's my diet.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Listen, the pharmaceutical companies, the medical establishment, they need to fix cancer. They need to fix lung cancer, fix, fix emphysema, fix cancer. And then you'll see the United States take off, bring back smoking. a pack and a half a day. It was John Daly that said nicotine plus caffeine equals protein. John Daly already crunched the numbers on this. All these lab codes are getting up like, oh, it causes cancer. John Daly figured it out, and he's a champion. I do think there is a measured economic output from widespread caffeine use. Yeah. Like businesses have coffee for a reason. This is not a joke. Yeah. Like offices have coffee because it increases, like the amount of money they spend on
Starting point is 01:08:37 coffee is returned by full orders of magnitude. Yeah. The British got access to tea and then industrialized like right away. It is the Enlightenment. I mean, it was the Enlightenment. No, seriously. I have caffeine right now and I got some, and I got nicotine going at the same time.
Starting point is 01:08:53 If you've not had that combination, I would urge you to try it. I've not done it. It's amazing. I used to do high octane both of those. I used to smoke a Marlboro and drink two Red Bulls. Smoke two Marlboro and drink two Red Bulls in the morning. Started the day out just right. I love the Patriot Games.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Yeah, yeah. Have you guys heard about this? No. Oh, we've got to pull this up. We've got to talk about this. Where all the states are sending their delegates. They're sending, is it what it's called? It's Patriot Games, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:09:17 Patriot Games. It's like American Gladiator, right? Hopefully. Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go. Check us out, check us out. Patriot games two weeks out. Here's what we know about the events. They say it's a concept, has drawn comparisons from critics.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Oh, I don't care. Are you kidding? A boy and a girl representing each state will compete in days-long events for the chance to win scholarship money. It doesn't go far enough. I love it, though. I love the idea that every year, every year they should do this.
Starting point is 01:09:43 I don't know what their plan is. Everybody across their state and all high schools and grade schools start training and practicing to get really good. Then you have in the beginning of the year competitions at the local level. The winner goes to regional.
Starting point is 01:09:57 The winner goes to state and then the winner of state goes to the Patriot Games National. I don't know what they're planning on doing. But what we need in this country is like national fitness tests again. Yes, the presidential fitness test. I loved that thing when I was a kid.
Starting point is 01:10:12 All right, I'm going to get it. I'm going to, and could you imagine. Well, the kids in my class were competing how many pushups they could do. Yeah, and Donald Trump's like hyping you up. Yeah. I mean, so you get the presidential fitness award back in the day, and it's like how many sit-ups could you do, how fast you run the mile, pull-ups, all those things.
Starting point is 01:10:30 It was awesome. The Patriot, and there's so much you could do. You know, there was all this fighting over federal funding. Settle it on the budget. on the athletics field. Like if your state does well, you get more federal funding. If you crap to bed, you get cut. And we can do like soccer where you get relegated.
Starting point is 01:10:43 It's like, sorry Nebraska. Your guys sucked this year. You're going to play in Canada for a year. Well, Ontario. Hold on. Here's the challenge to that. If Nebraska keeps losing, they eventually just are demoralized and stop trying.
Starting point is 01:10:54 So you've got to have a system where the challenge is how, so cutting their funding means they're going to give up. That's the challenge. But incentives, I think, is a good idea in some capacity. What I'm mostly concerned about is going at the grassroots level. Get every kid in this country. I mean, there's not that many of them relative to the previous generations and be like, get ripped.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Boost that testosterone. They should give every kid a steak. Yeah. Like just like a legit on gym memberships at least. Like rib-eye. You know, it's just like every, every child on Monday is going to get a rib-eye professionally cooked, pan-seared, beautiful. We're going to put a little compound herb butter on it.
Starting point is 01:11:35 you will eat well and then you're going to do 100 push-ups and you're going to do 100 sit-ups and you're going to run 10 miles I don't know about immediately after eating the steak I'm just saying we could I mean we could totally solve
Starting point is 01:11:47 all this like you know partisan divide by just making all political decisions focused on how your athletes do that year the left is going to lose their mind you guys ever see that episode of Rick and Morty where they separate their
Starting point is 01:12:02 like detestful selves from their normal selves It's like season four. I don't know if you guys watch it. But there's like the negative versions of themselves. That's the left. Okay. If you say, hey guys, why don't we eat healthy and get fit?
Starting point is 01:12:14 They're going to go, you're a bigot. You're far right. And it's like, God, we're trying to make everybody feel better. And they're like, no, you're a racist. Oh, my God. And y'all have probably seen this. This video kind of started circulating back around. President John F. Kennedy saying there's nothing worse than a fat,
Starting point is 01:12:29 flabby kid who can't, you know, exercise. And, like, we need to have a strong youth. We need to have a strong youth out here that's in good shape. Go outside and play. Yeah. I'm going to say this out there to every dad who's got a fat kid. You are not preparing your child. If you are out of shape and they are out of shape.
Starting point is 01:12:49 I watch these videos. You see them with a big fat mom. It's like, I'm making dinner for my daughter. And she, like, dumps a whole bag of, like, pizza rolls and chicken nuggets on a cookie sheet. And then she, like, puts, like, maple syrup on top. She, like, this is what we? I'm like, what is going on? That sounds so good.
Starting point is 01:13:04 You got to get everybody in shape. Your dad, you're an older dad. Get in shape. If you're too old, get on test. Do whatever you got to do. Get out there. Riley's talking about juicing. Riley's on the trend train.
Starting point is 01:13:19 I mean, be fair, the Trump administration has made it easier to get test. They put out of regulation here recently that actually makes it easier for older folks. It must be said to, and we'd be remiss if we didn't add this on, is there's a big difference between a fat kid and a Husky Patriot, right? We love her husky Patriots. You've seen those guys in the gym. They're huge and they're putting like six wheels on. Oh yeah. They're strong as hell. Of course. Yeah, there's terrifying. I'm saying we look, you can't be doughy line in bed playing Marvel rivals all day. You can't do it. You got to get out. But if you're a Husky Patriot, you're 12 years old up there and a glass of Mountain Dew is the
Starting point is 01:14:01 difference between you and just taking over the world. Down that glass of Mountain Dew and get back, out there tomorrow and conquer. I don't think people understand what a code red mountain do and not a lot, but like a 30 minutes an hour call a duty session can do for a Husky Patriot. Have you seen...
Starting point is 01:14:16 You'll take over the world. Have you seen what Mountain Dew is rolling out? This is going to be one of those dangerous products for certain regions of the country. It is Mountain Dew with alcohol. What? Yeah. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:14:29 The country's finished. Yeah. Okay. I'm pretty sure. I saw like at a gas station sign there. I think you're right. because they're... Hard Mountain Dew. Hard Mountain Dew. It wasn't hard enough. Oh, my God. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 01:14:41 Baja Blas! I think this is starting off. This is targeting 40-year-old men. They were like, remember when you'd hang out of Taco Bell? We put booze in it. I'm not going to lie. Baja Blass was awesome. Guys, you know what this means, right? You want to know the secret to Baja Blass and why it was only at Taco Bell? Why? It's because it was the powerade syrup mixed with Mountain Dew.
Starting point is 01:15:01 You know... I didn't know that. I'm pretty sure that's the case. You know what? this means, right? You're going to be playing far more drunk people on Call of Duty. So you got, we have a chance. We have a chance,
Starting point is 01:15:12 boys. Also, in their clear-rod, couple Zins in the lip. Exactly. I am scared. Orange Beach is about it look like a war zone. With this one rolling out there. I mean, Orange Beach, Alabama, I mean, it is going to look like full-blown trench warfare. I am, I'm absolutely. I wonder, live wires. The internet says
Starting point is 01:15:29 it's an urban, the internet says it's an urban myth and then I'm not correct. So I'll take it. I want to believe. Fact check. Dang it. Gosh. Unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:15:39 Yeah, you know, but you know, I mean, this is that, I don't want, does it have caffeine? Oh, yeah. Probably too much. It's got to have caffeine. You all remember. Or loco. Four loco. You all remember the four lococo.
Starting point is 01:15:49 OG four loco. Watch out. Oh, yeah. It's like blowing people's hearts out. It was awesome. And then you had, uh, sparks. Juice was another one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:56 You never heard of sparks? I never heard of it. I had. Oh, yeah. Wait, wait. hold on. I don't think it's like a battery. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:01 It's not available in West Virginia. It's like Duracel sponsors it. West Virginia have to, West Virginians have to go to Maryland to smuggle in some hard mouth blue. That's good. We don't need it here. Oh, you know what it might be? It might, didn't, did West Virginia do that food dye ban?
Starting point is 01:16:16 Yes. Yeah, food die ban. That's amazing. Yep. I go to the grocery store. I mean, think about it anymore. Yeah. When does it go into effect?
Starting point is 01:16:24 Like January 1st or something, doesn't it? I think, I thought it was July 1st, so maybe it is in effect now? I kind of sort of seen some of these on the shelves. I'm super for it because I'm telling you, there's a bunch of suburban moms in, in like Virginia, Maryland and around D.C. who will choose to drive the hour in the West Virginia to buy their groceries knowing it's all going to be free from the trash.
Starting point is 01:16:46 It says zero caffeine. That's the wokenest thing in my own. What? That loss of the ballot box, okay? They not checked the last election results. Oh, bro, it took effect last year. Oh, there you go. What?
Starting point is 01:16:56 Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in schools. In schools, okay. The statewide. ban starts, including preservatives January 1st, 2028. There you go. That's big. But litigation is ongoing.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Yeah, they're suing over at zero caffeine. Yeah, that's my name. Well, you know what I have? I have a sparks. Can you Google that? I have. So it was this alcohol energy drink. It looked like a battery.
Starting point is 01:17:23 It had a plus sign and a minus sign. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, if we want to... I remember this. If we want to increase home. Yeah, there it is. It's like it's like a battery They stopped selling all these
Starting point is 01:17:34 Because people were dying Yeah And then guess what happened Home building slowed down Only the weak ones You weren't supposed to drink two of them Everyone knew that Get your hard hat on
Starting point is 01:17:43 Get your marble reds Get a spark in your hand This was discontinued in 08 Dude It's because of the four local I don't know why I remember How old were you like 24 Something like that
Starting point is 01:17:53 I know that's Dude I remember there's this guy There's this gas station A station attendant Oh wait a bunch and held on to them and like sold them to us after they were illegal. Hey, they kept the domain though.
Starting point is 01:18:06 I mean, it's sparks.com. That's a good domain. Maybe they're trying to make a comeback, you know? Zero caffeine, I mean, Four loco had to readjust. I guess they're still around,
Starting point is 01:18:15 but not the original. Yeah, no. It's like the local conversion. The possibility of an exploding heart is literally why I never tried cocaine. Can you imagine? Wait, wait, hold on. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Is Hard Mountain Dew gluten-free? No. What is it made of? It's similar to beer. I don't want to know. Well, hold on. Is hard Mountain Dew caffeine-free, yupp, exclamation point? Why?
Starting point is 01:18:37 That's the wokenest thing. That doesn't make any sense. You don't have the whole point of Mountain Dews that's woke. One, it's great. Two, it's got caffeine. Are they nuts? On the Kamala, when? Did I miss something?
Starting point is 01:18:49 But hold on. They're saying it's just beer. It's just like Mountain Dew-flavored beer. What? All right. I'm not for that. What is going on? No, like, bro, here's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 01:18:58 I'm going to buy. I'm going to buy a mountain dew and I'm going to put a shot at the keel in it. What about monster? That goes to go with pineapple. Buy one of these new flavors, down a couple no-dos, rip the mountain dew. There's still sugar in it. You'll be great. All right.
Starting point is 01:19:11 If you say so, I'll do it for the show Thursday. You know, nobody really drinks anymore. You have like this crazy shelf of booze. And like a couple years ago, people would come in and like, oh, yeah, I'll pour a scotch and nobody drinks anymore. I don't do it at all. Yeah, they come in like, no, no, no, thanks. It's like, we got some, we got some Louisville. over there.
Starting point is 01:19:28 So gay. Everyone's like live longer. And Us Quabich. You would like that. That's like Scottish
Starting point is 01:19:34 or something. Yeah. Asquabach. Make your hair red. Oh, wait. Asquabak. I don't know. It's very like
Starting point is 01:19:41 native name. And then we have Lefroidg too. Lafroid. You can get little French on us. No, that's, that's Irish, I think. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:19:49 I might be Scottish. Awkward. Yeah. Regardless, there's something from Mexico, but it's like a skeleton guy. I don't know what that is. There is a beverage
Starting point is 01:19:57 in Scotland that is ban in the U.S. It's called Buckfast. I don't know if you know anything about Buckfast. It's a tonic wine that has like 200 milligrams of caffeine in it. Oh, my God. And it was causing so much civil disruption that they had to like ban it. It's because it was like, they just call it the domestic abuse juice is what they would call. The abuse juice.
Starting point is 01:20:19 For similar reasons, they don't sell liquor on Sunday in Texas because everyone would lose their jobs on Monday. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Well, I don't care how we do. We just got to bring testosterone back. That's why I like what Hagseth is doing. He's like, if you're in the military, we're going to give you tea. All these soldiers are going to be just jacked and like, I want to fight.
Starting point is 01:20:43 But we need to get young men to just start. I mean, listen, the truth is, the ladies would love it. Like the young women, nobody wants to be around a whiny, portly fellow who just is not as weak and doesn't want to get the job done. So the guys got to get the testosterone. They got to stop. Correcting if I'm wrong, but something about like body fat converts testosterone into estrogen or something like that. Is that what it is? Something like that.
Starting point is 01:21:04 I'm like that. Yeah, so you got to lose weight. You got to lose weight. You got to exercise. You got to lift. You got to run. You got to do fun stuff. And then when the guys are all swinging from monkey bars and doing parkour or whatever, they'll be jacked.
Starting point is 01:21:15 And they'll, you'll, like, you get all the ladies. This is the funny thing. You know, with like the red pill dating stuff, these in-cell guys will be like, women just want to rip to chad. So get ripped. Like literally you can just go to the gym. Well, you know, it played a big role in this. And you think about how many there are still around today. IPAs. Oh, my PA's.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Yeah, that hit us like crack. I mean, that that that. IPA? Yeah. That hit the white community. So disgusting. Yeah. So it was like, yeah, it was like an epidemic.
Starting point is 01:21:46 It's like earwax. And, and that stuff, and somebody will correct me if I'm wrong. There is some amount of estrogen. leave in IPA. Yeah. Why are millennials so liberal? It's like, hello. So you got the IPAs.
Starting point is 01:22:02 I mean, there's some of these things that are 300 calories of pop. And back when IPAs were like a big thing, I was just drinking straight vodka. Oh, yeah, it's got phytoestrogens. See? What? Crazy. Yeah. And you know what the biggest, the biggest tragedy in all of this with the obesity,
Starting point is 01:22:21 epidemic, et cetera, as it's totally killed off the innkeeper physiognomy. You know, you had this big jolly innkeeper, like maybe a Bavarian or maybe someone Irish extraction, and he had the rosy red cheeks, and he was round, but he wasn't fat. He was just kind of built like that. You don't see that physiognomy anymore. Because, like, you know, I don't know what, maybe hostess got involved or something, and it totally blew out the guy's waist. We used to have these guys everywhere.
Starting point is 01:22:43 They used to be all over the place, and they were trusted. They were like handelbar mustaches, yeah, and they were trusted individuals, and they're just gone. Like Mike Dick. And they talked like this. Like the Mike Ditka build. Mike Ditka now, you know, I don't know, pick on any other head coaches. the NFL, but they would look like that. Do you mean like distended bellies?
Starting point is 01:22:59 Yeah, that's a sign of trust. It's a sign of prosperity. The Chinese said this is a sign of prosperity, and they might have been on to something. The guy nowadays, when people are, you know, have too much weight on them, it's oftentimes like gelatinous. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:23:12 They move around. Like a water better. Yeah, you know, as opposed to like the dudes with the big solid. Oh, yeah. So I used to work construction. I was a welder. That's what I did for a living.
Starting point is 01:23:23 And you would have these, massive human beings on the job site, big, like, but not like, kind of like we were talking about just huge visceral fat, you know, just hang, but just big guys that were strong as hell that, yeah, I mean, they had, they're big around, but they could also lift, like, steel beams above their head. Yeah. If I, if I don't cut it out with the cookies, I'll end up like that. Chocolate chip cookies, man.
Starting point is 01:23:49 At ice cream. Ice cream. Oh, boy. Yeah, I know. it's just what's happening to this country. It's just a disgrace, really. Ice cream. And thankfully, thankfully the Trump administration stepped in to return the, the innkeeper physiognomy,
Starting point is 01:24:03 which has been a big. The innkeeper? Yeah, it's been a bit, if you look up in keeper physiognomy, it'll come up with the guy I'm talking about. Well, that's a real thing. It's a real thing. And it's been this blind spot in our country for some time now. You can look at old pictures of like the Nebraska line, like, you know, like the offensive line. We lost that physiogamy.
Starting point is 01:24:19 They're all just like fat now, and they used to just be big. This is a literal scientific medical term. Yeah, it's a thing. I wouldn't make that up. I'm precise with my words when it comes to physiognomy. The traditional literary and historical stereotype that associates an innkeeper's character morality and role with specific facial and bodily features in classical literature. And they're gone. They disappear.
Starting point is 01:24:43 Oh, my God. You know, it's a shame. That's him. That's him. That's him. That's him. Trustworthy innkeepers. Stay the same.
Starting point is 01:24:54 shape. It's true. And we lost this. We lost this as a country. Well, Tate, start packing on the pounds and you can be the trustworthy innkeeper. Everyone's like, Tate, why haven't you, like, completely cut? It's like, because I don't want to give up on this. You're going to lose that neck you've got there. That guy just kind of looks fat to me. How can I like get the gullet just like, boom? Traps. Traps. This is actually, this is crazy. It needs to be like, that's just trust. He has a trust building. Well, he's got, this is like NIH.gov has a write-up on this. I'm not kidding. That's a thing. Here's a thing. Look at this one. It's real. So there's more than just. Surfaces and appearances, character, physiognomy, and communication in Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins,
Starting point is 01:25:32 a message from the sea. This is the real red pill people weren't ready for. You know, people are like, oh, the red pill, tell me about like, with this that.
Starting point is 01:25:38 That we need the fat, Scottish guy to serve us beers. Yes, yeah. Instead, now it's weed. Now it's your sketchy weed dealer and you're smoking pot and you got these THC, this, that man.
Starting point is 01:25:49 POSA-Dominy. I'm just going to- I hate it all. Bring back the innkeeper. I'm just going to mention this for no. reason because I was at a like an inn in the UK because it was like a hotel where I was I was staying when I went there and the first floor had like a bar and restaurant and you know in the UK like have you
Starting point is 01:26:05 seen these they're like they're like almost like slot machines yeah you can put in a pound and then play games and if you do really well you win money you ever see those one of these games is the spot the difference oh and it shows you two squares and I'm so insanely good at that I was printing money from these machines. It was weird. I was like, I don't understand why I can I just keep making money, why they're letting me do this. And I'm going to let you all in on a secret as to how you win those games every single time. You ever play those games? You get two pictures and it says find the difference and you got to tap the differences on the screens. You know the game? I know the game. Every single bar. Riley, you ever play that game at a bar? You get two screens. You get two images.
Starting point is 01:26:43 It's not related to the innkeeper. They have those little kiosks and you'll put in a dollar and you can play like arcade games and one of them is spot the difference. Oh yeah, yeah. Show you two different. It'll show you two of the same pictures with minor differences. Yes. If you want to win that every single time and you can play this infinitely and never lose, there is one secret technique so that you can literally play until your hands are bleeding and you can have no, no, no, no, no, no, no as your score.
Starting point is 01:27:07 You cross your eyes. It's all you do. You cross your eyes. Oh, yeah. You have two pictures. You cross your eyes. The pictures overlap in your field of vision. And every difference starts blinking in your field division.
Starting point is 01:27:20 you'll see it blinking sort of back and forth between the error. So different colors start to like, they look weird because they look like they're two different colors at the same time. And if there's like, let's say there's a boat and a window's missing, you'll see the boat half transparent, you'll see the window half transparent. You can literally go to those games, cross your eyes and then you go, boop, boop, boop, next level, boop, boop, poop, boop. So in the UK, they had this machine where if you got to like level 16, it would give you a pound.
Starting point is 01:27:47 And then if you got to level 17, it'd give you two pounds. Like once you got that far and the timer's going, but-da-da-da-da-da-da-d-d-quick, I'm just going, like, do-to-do-d-d-d-d-d-ting, like, just printing money. Unlimited money glitch. Yeah, like, I was able to realistically make like a few pounds per hour. Like, it wasn't that easy because what they would do is after like level 17, the pictures would go like this and tilt. Oh, that's right and throw off the cross side beep. Yep.
Starting point is 01:28:11 But like, every time I go to a bar with my friends and they had one of those kiosks, I'd walk right up and be like, I'll get like 12 million points and then I'll leave. No one will ever beat that score. Yeah. That's the secret. Him has the secret sauce. My brother came up with it. He told me to do it.
Starting point is 01:28:24 I don't know. He just crossed his eyes and put the pictures together and went, and I was like, interesting. I just saw this, uh, in relation to the, the conversation we were having about marijuana and nicotine and stuff. It's the, uh, hard times create nicotine men. Nicotine men create good times. Good times create weed guys.
Starting point is 01:28:40 We guys create hard times. That's pretty accurate. Pretty accurate. That's true. You know, I mean, look, man. there have been times in my life where I would smoke marijuana, and it does make you, you know, lethargic. It makes you kind of just want to sit around and play video games.
Starting point is 01:28:56 When I was smoking cigarettes, man, I'd never made it. Well, let's just be real. You know, back in the day, nicotine men would give a woman a firm, open-palmed slap on the bottom. Weed men sit in the corner of the room, glazed, just staring at the men as they walk by and go, man. That's it. Oh, and these people, and they, the pot-heads mobilized. No one mobilizes, like, the pot-eds, too. I think the most brutal reply to like ratio
Starting point is 01:29:19 I've ever seen in my life was Sagar and Jetty because he tweeted out something about the weed declassification and he just said marijuana is the smell of civilizational decay like objectively a truce by the way and the replies were just all these guys who were on one hand attesting that it's not addictive
Starting point is 01:29:36 but then also like having this impersonal this like personal infraction because he's just saying he doesn't like the smell of marijuana I'm like I don't know what's going on here but I've seen the data And like 30% of people that say they smoke marijuana say they smoke every day versus one to two percent of alcohol users. I imagine. Let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's jump back to politics I guess.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Do you want to hit that point before we jump on? So I imagine that my mentions will be will at least have a few people that are upset that we're even discussing any negative effects from marijuana. Just have a Cigrant calm down. I got to ask the Congress. Are they going to pass the Save Act? Oh man. God. We we in the house have passed it four.
Starting point is 01:30:17 times now. And now we are attaching it to everything moving. We put it on everything. Every bill we send to the Senate has a save act. And to his credit, great man, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Tom Cole said, I will put it on all 12 of my appropriations bills coming out of the house. And so we're sending everything over there has the Save Act on it. The best chance that we have to pass it is this Reconciliation 3.0 that we just passed the budget resolution on. We're going to come back in September and pass Reconciliation 3.0, which will have the Save Act on it. This is for munitions, for the military. Was this NDAA? No, no, no, reconciliation three point out. So the reconciliation process, remember, this is one big, beautiful bill. Right. That allows for a simple majority
Starting point is 01:31:09 vote in the Senate. So we could get 50-50. Vance comes in. in breaks the tie. So it's, it's as low. So this whole thing of, oh, we need 60 votes for cloture, you know, filibuster, blah, it takes all that away, all that away. So this bill has funding for the military, U.S. Department of Agriculture, obviously we had a bad winner and some of these other things. It's very narrow what we're doing there. And then it has the Save Act in it. And there's money in for that as well. They're going to have to actively take it out. Vote on the floor to take that out if they want if that's you know if they're so against it which they're going to have the weight of the entire country that believes in the save act which by the way there's like an 80-20 issue
Starting point is 01:31:54 oh yeah that's crazy everybody wants it everybody wants it independents Democrats Democrats are like 70 percent independents are like 80 and Republicans are like 90 and you know my Senate friends aren't going to like this statement but I would tell you if they don't pass the Save Act and we lose the house they have culpability in it because it is hurting us yeah it is I don't understand. I appreciate Trump has started speaking up against Thune for not taking the action. I think we should just get rid of the filibuster, go simple majority, just get the job done. The argument I always hear is, oh, but if you get rid of the filibuster, Democrats are, no, no, no, no, no. I promise you, they're getting rid of the filibuster when they come in. It's gone. It's over.
Starting point is 01:32:33 And also, they're not going to win if you get rid of the filibuster, get the SAVE Act in. You don't kind of worry about it. Yeah, my controversial hot take on the whole Senate is, aside from the SAVE Act thing, I want to get rid of the 17th Amendment. I don't think we should be directly electing senators. Yes. We need to get rid of it. That was the true intent of the founders.
Starting point is 01:32:52 We changed that in the early 1900s. But it needs to go. We shouldn't be doing these direct elections. Legislature should be. And by the way, if it was left to the legislatures, we'd have 60 freaking Republican seats right now in the United States Senate. And the point is it makes the people of a state know who their state senators and reps are. You don't vote for your senator.
Starting point is 01:33:15 You vote for your state legislative body who then appoints center from your state to the federal government because the senator represents the state, not the people. And the states appeal the 17th. And the states have no check on their federal elected reps right now. Right. No check on it. You're not going to recall them. It's not going to happen. No, that's not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:33:34 This puts a check and to your point, which is so important, it puts focus back on the state legislature. Most people don't know who their state repress. You know what I find just the funniest thing ever is when you see these campaign ads where a rep will be like, I'm going to clean up this town or kind of thing. It's like you're running for federal Congress. Like you're going to represent the town to the federal government. Right. It's the local representatives and your state government that are going to clean the town. But people don't understand this anymore.
Starting point is 01:34:03 So they believe that when they vote for a member of federal Congress, it's a person who's going to be voting on bills for their city, which to a certain degree does happen. Sure, yeah. You need to know who your state rep and state senator is because they're the ones who are going to come knock on your door and you're going to say, hey, we got a sewage leak and they're the ones who are going to be focused on that. Yeah, if you want to find the person who's going to affect your day to day more than anybody, it's likely your county commissioner.
Starting point is 01:34:29 Yeah, yeah. Your garbage doesn't get picked up. You're like, I'm calling my congressman. Yeah, people do. Yeah, they do. You get calls like that, I imagine. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:36 Do you just be like, let me get somebody. I'll try and help you. Hey, we got this pothole. We got this. It's like, that's high. Like 90% chance, that's probably the state or the county. But you still have to do the work. Yes.
Starting point is 01:34:48 You still have to be like, let me help you on this. Yeah, and we help. And we just put into a switchboard operator. And so we always help. We go. We talk to the state. We talk to the county. But people should be looking at their state and local reps.
Starting point is 01:34:58 That's where it's at. People just, we've lost this. And this country would be substantially better because people would be like, they would go to the town halls or councilmen. And be like, hey, you appointed a bad senator. They have to hold their state accountable, which affects the grassroots, and will fundamentally bring back control to the people. What's happening right now is we're sort of skipping over the people because popular vote for a senator is lowest common denominator statewide. If you go, if you make sure that there's that level of state senator and state rep, you are now creating stronger roots to the community as you move up the chain to federal government and beyond. Right now we're skipping over all of our state governance.
Starting point is 01:35:41 you're ending up with senators who don't represent any community in their state. Just the lowest common denominator of people, people spat it across the state. Yeah, I'm not a fan of it. You put the power back. And this is that also solves, by the way, the whole term limit question, particularly on the Senate. Oh, easily, yeah. Yeah. And look, if the state legislature decided we're going to keep him for three, four terms,
Starting point is 01:36:05 there's probably a pretty good reason, highly unlikely because eventually people would say, we want a new guy. Yeah. And man, could you imagine Florida would always have just like the best senators? The silver lining on this would be the fact that it would really piss off the DSA types because they want to get rid of the Senate and we'd actually restore the Senate to its proper place. And it also goes back to point about an hour ago, we're a republic. We are a republic.
Starting point is 01:36:32 We're not just a we're not a direct democracy. The Democrats want direct democracy on everything. We are a Republican. and this returns us to that principle of a constitutional republic as we are in this country. How do we do that? I'm for it. So I think it was Ben Sass who said this years ago when he was a senator, I believe. Yeah, he was. It's been a minute. And he said, we got to get rid of the 17th. And then I thought about it for a while. And I was like, I don't know, that sounds crazy. And then I read what he had to say about it. I think I watched a video of it. And then I read through it and I was like,
Starting point is 01:37:05 yeah, yeah, we got to get rid of it. That's crazy. How do you do it? you got to amend the Constitution so it takes two it takes two thirds to do it it's in the constitution so it takes constitutional amendment to be able to do it um but to me i think anybody who is watching this which start looking into this this makes a lot of sense to do something like this returns power back to the state and accountability not to mention you know see john cornon lose the republican primary down in texas they spent over a hundred million dollars on his prime. I mean, insane. To beat Tala Rico, we're going to spend 150. Who knows, $200 million down. Does that make any sense? That doesn't make sense. The best business you could
Starting point is 01:37:55 start right now is open a news organization called the Texas Independent. And you just cater to independent voters because you're going to get both Democrats and Republicans dumping all of the add dollars they can on your publication. You just make $20 million and then you're done. Come back. Oh, yeah, look, there he is, Ben Sass. Yeah, I read this National Review. Ben Sasse calls for appealing 17th Amendment eliminating popular vote Senate elections.
Starting point is 01:38:19 And I saw it. I was like, what? That sounds crazy. And then I read about it. And I was like, wow. Yeah, it was Wall Street Journal op-ed. I could not agree. Make the Senate great again.
Starting point is 01:38:28 Agreed. Yeah. His poor guys got cancer right now. Yeah, real bad. And the treatment is really, really rough. I've seen some pictures. and he is really struggling. It sucks.
Starting point is 01:38:38 You know, he's putting out some wisdom, though, right now. I could get behind some Democrats if they just got rid of the gay communism stuff. Like, you know, like that's the biggest complaint, I think most moderates have. The problem is they keep trying to wield gay communism like the one ring. Yes.
Starting point is 01:38:56 You can't control it. And now they're getting eaten alive in New York, in Colorado. And, you know, watching Fox News, watching CNN. Harry Nant. like the Democratic Party's favorability is minus 26. It's because regular people don't like gay communism. They don't. And we literally ran against it. Best ad. They, they, they are for they,
Starting point is 01:39:18 them, and we are for you. You know, it's three point swing. They, Democrat political action committees tracked this. And they found that the Donald, that the right, the concern, it was, it wasn't necessarily Trump, but it was the Republican. Kamala is for they, them, ad campaign resulted in a 2.7% from Democrat to Republican. Great ad. And Glad said their assessment doesn't, isn't conclusive on votes, but found it resulted in a three to four percent drop in support for trans rights. That's insane.
Starting point is 01:39:49 So Donald Trump, real quick, brought up Caitlin Collins, Dylan Mulvaney. Yeah. Bill Mulvaney comes out and says, why are you saying my name? And I'm like, Dylan responding is everything Trump could have asked for. Yep. To reignite an issue that Americans are animated by. Yeah. And look, he is, to me, the great communicator politically.
Starting point is 01:40:09 He is now, as you said, reopened that conversation, which is how we won. Two, we've all been trying to figure out how to talk about this DSA takeover and all this. Trump's just calling him what is it. It's communist. It's communism. That's exactly what it is. If you go, and I'd urge anybody to go take a look at this, the difference in between Espionat, who lost his primary to one of these Mondami primary challengers,
Starting point is 01:40:35 they're both Dominican. He's actually born in the DR. She's not. They both speak Spanish. They're both left-wing lunatics on immigration, all this other stuff. What's the one difference in between the two of them? She had converted to Islam recently, and he was not. He had been supportive of Israel at some point in his career, and that's a big question. I think what's going on in this country in terms of the Democrats is what's happening in Europe. I give you an example like France. It's the red-green coalition. Yep, red green coalition, the communists, and the Islamists. But the Islamists, of course, don't much care for communists, but they know that they're useful. They're useful idiots in this.
Starting point is 01:41:15 I mean, you can look at it. What happened to the 1979 in Iran? Yeah. The molas and the communists went to do. That's exactly what happened there. Yeah. I wrote a piece about it on my, on my Patreon. You can go check it out at patreon.
Starting point is 01:41:25 Atcom slash fill the remains. It's free. But, yeah, like, the left and the communists, they don't have. have the ability, they don't have a way to articulate a defense against the Islamists. The Islamists are, according to the left, they are an oppressed group. Yes. And so because they're in oppressed group, they are in a position to push the, the communists essentially around. Because the whole oppressor oppressed narrative rules everything they do. So they allow. They, line together, they say we're taking up the cause of the, of the, you know, the, whatever it is,
Starting point is 01:42:09 the Islamists or the Muslims that are oppressed and et cetera, et cetera. But then once they've defeated the right, then the Islamists will turn on them. And I think it was 40,000 people were killed in Iran that were, that were, you know, on the left by the Islamists. Like, you don't have, you do not have a means to defend yourself from these people because you can't, You can't even say things that would offend them. Never mind, actually defend yourself. And if the Islamists and the left do beat the right, the Islamists will slaughter the left. They've done it every single time.
Starting point is 01:42:47 Every single time they have done that. But they're just looking at how deranged they are over on that side. And these useful idiots where it's like, we're trans people for free Palestine. It's like, let me know how that goes. Well, the problem is they have to beat the right first. Yes. And so, if they were to win, we'd never find out because we're all going to the Gullog anyway. So, you know, we're making big rocks into little rocks.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Yeah, you know. Yeah, you know. But, but yeah, the idea that they're able to align together, even now you see it in Europe where there are, you know, pro-Palestine demonstration. and they're kicking out the people that are waving the LGBT. Yeah. There was just an Islamist in Berlin that drove a car into a pride parade. Oh, and you see the videos of the progressors blaming white people for it?
Starting point is 01:43:48 Yeah, of course. Of course. No, it's real. Because they're in conflict with reality. But white men and what they, it's like, oh God. Yeah. It's because they don't actually have contact with reality. Again, they are in conflict with reality.
Starting point is 01:44:08 Like, the Islamists are not going to welcome them in. And the wildest part is that they've all bought into this narrative that the Islamists are complaining about the colonizers and the colonizers. Is there any faith that has colonized more than Islam? Nope. Have you looked at a map of the jihad versus the crusade? Let me see if we can find this We brought up on the show a couple years ago I just love pulling up this map
Starting point is 01:44:38 Let me see if we can find a good jihad map It's insane when you look at it Is this it? No, no no, that's modern, that's modern We don't want to... Oh, that's crazy too, yikes I'm gonna pull that in just while I'm looking for the historical Jihad map This is like, yeah, this is the modern one
Starting point is 01:44:57 And it's like, yikes That's crazy No, I was looking for the historical The Ottoman Empire The Crusade was awful large Half of Spain Was controlled by Muslims For a long time
Starting point is 01:45:11 Moors, yeah I mean We're not related by the way Fair enough But you know There you go This is it There you go
Starting point is 01:45:19 Can we make this big So the The top one is the jihad And you can see all of the battles The spread The green is where they took over And the conflicts were The red dots
Starting point is 01:45:30 Here's the crusades here's the Crusade battles. So this was a big viral thing on the internet several years ago where some guy made a video where he said, let's compare the jihad to the crusade. And it's like, yeah, there's no question. The Crusades were microscopic. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:45 No, and the Crusades, by the way, were very specific in protecting pilgrims who were trying to go to the Holy Land from Europe. There was a specific, which, by the way, had gone on for, I think, 400 years or something like that. they had been targeting Christian pilgrims trying to go to the Holy Land. And that's how this came about, Pope Urban II, and everybody out, you know, and made a call out there to protect these pilgrims.
Starting point is 01:46:11 And a lot of it was private. People think that this was, you know, the country of France or that, you know, these were families and houses that decided we're going to go protect these Christian pilgrims on their way down and then ultimately ended up securing the city of jerusalem and then other outposts in there now obviously it's war terrible things happen got all that but you can look at this map it speaks for itself yeah yeah but you know you can't see as close in there but it's like don't remember like austria that was like 1683 that yeah it's like you know if you're looking in the span of history of all these things not too terribly long ago recently yeah
Starting point is 01:46:55 I mean, when was Islam established as a religion? It's like 400 years or something after Christianity. I could be wrong about that. Yeah, 600. I can't remember the exact. Let's see. 638. I think it's 6.10.
Starting point is 01:47:15 6.10. Mohammed's death was in 632. So Muhammad was born in 610 and he died at 632. It was an expansion pack. D.L. When I say 6.38, you're supposed to go 637. But, yeah, I mean, the left has no defense against this. They have absolutely.
Starting point is 01:47:39 It's just, it's what they do when you bring up anything. They change the subject or they say you're obsessed with Trump. I mean, they don't have any defense against the Islamists. Oh, you're saying when the Islamists come to just wipe them out. Should the right lose? I don't even like the argument. No, no. Try to argue the left, they'll just change the subject.
Starting point is 01:47:55 Yeah, no, no, they'll argue till they're blue in the face that the right is wrong. But should the right not be there as a bulwark against both the left and the Islamists, the Islamists will have no problem killing them. Yeah, the left is being hoodwinked by the Islamists who are using them to fill their prophecy. You say hoodwink, but that implies that they're being fooled. And I don't think they are. I think they are, I think that they are just refusing to ignore. knowledge reality. I think they do have a line through in terms of just one similarity and it's
Starting point is 01:48:31 control. And they both have different ways of doing that and controlling civilization. Ultimately, though, and we, conservatives are a bigger threat to Islam than obviously the useful idiots of the left because many of us are of people of faith. We're Christian. obviously there's Jews, people who believe, and that is more threatening to them than some transgender rights activists marching down the street in San Francisco. This is a civilizational conflict that we're involved with, and the entire Western civilization rests on three pillars. It's Christianity, Greek philosophy, and Roman law. And if you pull one of those pillars out, the whole thing falls apart. Yeah, I mean, the...
Starting point is 01:49:23 I've heard other people talk about the three pillars of Western society. And it really is true. Like without any one of those foundational philosophies or whatever, you don't have the United States. You don't have the West as a culture. And even though all of Europe, there's very different cultures throughout Europe, they are really based on, you know, they are based on, you know, Greek philosophy, on Roman law. Thank you very much. Yeah, and look, we are, to me, the United States,
Starting point is 01:50:01 we are the apex of Western civilization. We're the top. We're the culmination of the promises made in the Magna Carta. Yeah, we are at the top of it. Unfortunately, Europe right now is like hospice for the Western civilization. It's in the death rows, the decline. Hopefully they can turn it around.
Starting point is 01:50:21 We're going to go to the uncensored port. of the show in 10 minutes. But for now, we're going to read your Rumble Rans and Superchats, so smash the like button, subscribe, share the show, all that good stuff. Let's start with force name change. It says, I buy my chicken and beef and pork and eggs, all from my local hudorite colony. Is that he said? They also throw in a bottle of wine, can't beat that.
Starting point is 01:50:41 We got awesome mena nights out here. And we used to, we don't do it so much anymore, but we're probably going to start going back. They just have like a little Amish shop and you go in and they have all of like the legit real farm food. The men and I and I'm amazing. And they're wearing the little bonnets. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:57 They're just sitting there and they're like, it's real food and you're like, that's all I had to say. Yummy. Real cheese. You know, it's really crazy. I think I was talking about this like last week. I think maybe I was talking about this with Lily Tang is that, you know, when I first got chickens, this was probably 13 years ago, maybe 12 years ago. I had friends come over and I walk out back, grab the eggs right from under the chicken
Starting point is 01:51:20 and come inside. and I'm like, you want eggs? And they go, don't you have to, like, do something? And I was like, what do you mean? They're like, they're dirty or something. And I was like, no, you want to cook them. And they're like, yeah, but aren't they supposed to be, like, processed or something? And I was confused.
Starting point is 01:51:36 I'm like, do you think that, like, after the eggs are laid, they have to be, like, processed in a factory before they can be eating? Like, well, you literally just eat them right on the spot. You could crack it open and just eat it. Yeah. But I feel like a lot of city people have grown up detached from food. they don't realize you can walk out to your garden and just pull off a tomato and just eat it. Yeah. I mean, that's like, look, you one of the first some people do this.
Starting point is 01:52:00 I have done it. You know, you shoot a deer. You got the deer. People want those back straps. You cook them right then. Yeah, it's all good. You don't need to like send it somewhere. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:52:11 Those are the people that when you say, where does food come from? They say the grocery store. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Like we get to wine berries out here. You've seen them all over the place I'd imagine, right? Yep. They're invasive.
Starting point is 01:52:21 but they are delicious. They are. And so at the castle, it's nuts, because we probably have millions of them just everywhere. It's invasive. We don't have them out of here. But people would come to the, when they come on the show,
Starting point is 01:52:32 and I'd be like, oh, look, and I'd grab a handful of berries, and they'd be like, you're just going to eat them? And I'm like, yep, and the bugs on them. Yeah. There are little bugs on them. Popping around my mouth. Protein.
Starting point is 01:52:40 Yeah, that's right. Yeah. There are, so if those don't know, wine berries, they're like a Chinese raspberry that's invasive. I don't know how it got here. I don't either. But they spread all over the place,
Starting point is 01:52:49 and they're more resilient than raspberries. They look like they're a little just firmer, I guess. I don't know. But they're delicious. They're a little tart. You can pop them right off the vine and eat them. No problem. The problem is they choke out raspberries, so, you know, that's a problem.
Starting point is 01:53:04 That is a shame. But they have these little bugs that look like little praying mantis that live on them. Their whole world, you're like this little bug, you'll pick one and you'll see this little tiny bug. And it lives on the berry. Could you imagine it's living on a giant cheeseburger? life is like you just eat them yeah i haven't thought nothing about it i don't rinse them off or anything like not sick i don't know i've picked them many times yeah we have uh and we've pawpaw as well paulpaws yeah pull it right off and crack and good yeah like the apalachian mango
Starting point is 01:53:36 yeah it's unfortunate that they're not so they're not like they're so hard to produce it's not valuable that's the problem yeah they're uh they're so the paw pa is a fruit out here that They say it's like mango, avocado, and like banana. Is that what it's said? Yeah. Yep. It's got big seeds in it. But the tree is pollinated by beetles and flies.
Starting point is 01:53:58 So it's difficult to cultivate. But in the wild, they're all over the place. Oh, yeah. By the end of September, October, and they taste pretty good. I feel like it's got almost kind of like a cereal flavor, in my opinion. Like, it's kind of, yeah. That's hard to describe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:12 And we actually have a town called Paw Paw in West Virginia. They do a Paw Festival, I imagine. A pop festival. Yeah. It is good. The problem is they, when they're ripe, they just melt. Like, you can take it out of a tree and just split it wide open and it is like avocado. It's gooey.
Starting point is 01:54:27 But avocados have a thicker, harder case, you know, shell. So you can't really transport these. Same thing with mulberries. Mulberries are really delicate. So by the time they get them off the tree, they're all bruised and damaged. Nobody wants to buy them. So they just don't harvest them. Pretty wild.
Starting point is 01:54:42 Let's grab some more instead of just talking about West Virginia fruits. Well, there was the fun fact in the Hutterites, too, is that there's a colony in Japan. It was a bunch of ethnic Japanese people, and they just became persuaded by the Anabaptist arguments. Started a hutterite colony. Let's go. Jason says, Tim, I've been watching you since U-Stream,
Starting point is 01:55:00 and as per tradition, I'd love to congratulate my lovely wife, Sabrina. We're giving birth to our fourth beautiful child, Jasmine, another proud Acadian Congratulations. Welcome to the world. Is it Canadian Patriot? This is a big story. We didn't get to it. Patriot. Search and seizure says Minauqua Brewing Company, Wisconsin is getting their alcohol permit revoked on August 4th.
Starting point is 01:55:21 It's the owner that was advertising Free Beer Day when he dies. I'm celebrating this news. What are your thoughts? Yeah, did you hear this? This guy is like a known leftist activist who had been saying that if Trump died, he'd give everybody free beer or insinuating it'd be Trump or whatever. He got his permit revoked. Apparently, he's been accused by the state of illegally shipping beer and not paying taxes. I just find it particularly ironic that an AOC and Bernie's supporter was being accused of not paying taxes. That's your mind on IPA. That's what happens.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Maybe if he paid his fair share, you know, he wouldn't have gotten shut down. Stay off. Joe Biden said paying taxes is patriotic. That's right. Let's see. Shade says, did you guys happen to see Libs of TikTok's post showing Connecticut's
Starting point is 01:56:05 Senate Bill 298? It's going to have public schools teach Islamic and Arab studies. Your children will learn to love their conquerors. That's a... Not my kid. I assume it's not going to be like in a tasteful Jeffersonian matter. It's just really funny when I talk to like these moderate lib types, because like we debated
Starting point is 01:56:22 them on the show about my kid. And you know, and they're like, your daughter is going to get into things. You can't stop it. I'm like, my daughter's going to be homeschooled. She is not going to one of these wackaloon public schools where an agent of the state will indoctrinate my child. Now, I'm not trying to be a dix. I know some people, they have no choice because you require dual income.
Starting point is 01:56:40 Your mom, the wife is working, mom's working, dad's working. and so they have to have someone watch their kids, but this is the problem. I'll never do it. I will live in the wilderness hunting deer with my bare hands before I hand my child off to the state. Well, when your child's old enough, don't forget to sign up for the Hope Scholarship here in West Virginia. Let's go. Home school kids and private school kids are eligible for their portion of state taxpayer dollars that can go to homeschool or private school, roughly around $5,000. right now. You know what my wife really wants to do and I think it's a really good idea because we talked
Starting point is 01:57:16 about it. So Casperoo Coffee Shop is open in Martinsburg. Yeah. And there is a there is a small child's play area. It's small. Just in the back corner, there's toys, there's books. It can probably accommodate three or four kids at a time. But it's closed so you know where your kids are going to be. If you're sitting down, you can sit down next to him. But my wife wants to do, they do these play places where it's not like a jungle gym or anything. It's a bunch of education. It's a bunch of education. educational toys and things to climb on. And parents bring their kids there and the kids run around and play. And I was like, we should do a hybrid of that with some educational stuff for homeschool kids.
Starting point is 01:57:53 So parents, when their kids are homeschool, this is where they bring them, you know, for an hour or two every day for socializing. Oh, that'd be cool. That's a good idea. Yeah, I mean, I think it'd be really fun. My wife was really excited. She's like, I want to open one of these, like, you know, child's playplaces. Yeah. She was like, their great businesses and she's been looking at them. And she goes to a handful with our daughter.
Starting point is 01:58:12 And then I was like, let's go. It sounds fantastic. Yeah, that's a great idea. What we wanted to do with the coffee shop is on Saturday mornings have like a family day. We call it Saturday morning cartoons and we'd play like good appropriate children's content. We would do. We'll figure out because I think this is still on the burners. The idea is to do small catering so parents can come in and hang out, have some breakfast,
Starting point is 01:58:35 some eggs, bacon, sausage, some pancakes. And the kids all get to hang out and play together. So that was one of the ideas we had, and we've got to figure it out. As always, the biggest challenge is always management. Yeah. So I think, you know, John over at Casperu and Mamba certainly has a handle on things, which need to go and coordinate with him. We're also going to be talking about doing miniature events every week and monthly big events
Starting point is 01:58:56 because we did our grand opening. Members only, everybody showed up. It was a lot of fun. Sorry, I wasn't there. It was flood, man. Oh, I know. Yeah, yeah. You know, come by, whatever.
Starting point is 01:59:05 And Ian sang. Nice. Jason Ellis did comedy. It was very good. He was very funny. He made fun of me the whole time. You sang as well, and I got some on videos pretty good. Oh, yeah. I was not prepared to sing, so I was like, you get what you get. Me and Alex Stein started a band and then disbanded immediately. Speed running the Beatles, basically.
Starting point is 01:59:26 Well, it was funny because Alex was like, hey, Alex, I'll play guitar and freestyle. He basically had one tone and one chain of thought. Casper coffee is good and Starbucks is gay. Tim Poole is here. And, like, that was about it. USA, USA. Impelling lyricism. All right, let's grab a couple more here.
Starting point is 01:59:45 Just about a minute left. Merck says, Tim, they taste like Mountain Dew. I rarely drink anymore, but got these from Wally World on the 4th, as it was the most America-ish I've seen in a while, delicious, not like beer at all. Okay, cool. We'll give Mountain Dew the benefit of doubt, but no caffeine makes me a, I have questions.
Starting point is 02:00:01 Strong anecdote. Let's try and grab a couple of these. We got toasted butter, 1776, says, want to announce the birth of another Patriot. A couple of weeks late, but need to honor the tradition. Mom did great. Baby is healthy. Have more babies.
Starting point is 02:00:13 Welcome to the World Patriot. Have more babies. Get to work. Get to work. Get an X count like now. Immediately. Google Gaga, whatever it works. I won't even let, we won't even put pictures of our kid out on the internet,
Starting point is 02:00:24 but he's already. He can be an A-on the babies are easy. All right. Last one. Kyle Zoker says, with great honor, I get to continue Timcast's tradition. Please welcome Joy Liberty. A blessing from the Lord for a man to fill his quiver. Psalm 127, 3 through 5.
