Starting point is 00:00:00 It is officially midterm season, everybody, and Democrats, they're actually polling decently, and there's concern, Republicans are going to lose. Surprisingly, there is concern considering this is the historical trend. A president gets elected, then the opposition party takes the House. However, Democrats actually have some pitfalls this time around. Notably, their favorability is at a historic low, even when they should be trending upwards, and they have a big thorn in their side with everyone's favorite leftist streamer, Hassan Piker. Now, whatever you think of the guy, Democrats are in trouble because he's splitting
Starting point is 00:00:32 the party. He recently went on the New York Times podcast, The Opinions, and said that theft and murder are okay, and that he would steal if he could get away with it. And the hosts laugh, and they enjoy it. I think Democrats are in big trouble because you're going to get a bunch of middle of the road people who maybe don't like Donald Trump, but don't want to be party to whatever that is, where you have crime, you have street takeovers. These are the things that people favor Republicans for. So as we kick into high gear in midterm season, we'll, of course, be talking a lot about polls and all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:08 To be fair, just slow news day, to be completely honest, I think like the big story that everyone's leading with is the SPLC still, which, okay, they suck. And, you know, Donald Trump ragged on them. So we can go with that as well. I'm actually more excited to talk about this. There's a story from Newsweek. Chinese scientists are also disappearing.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So we've got this story in the U.S. Now, I will say the Atlantic put out this piece saying that you are dumb for following the scientist conspiracy. They're saying, eh, some old retired guy disappeared and you're all dumb for thinking so. Yeah, well, it's happening also in China. And the important thing to understand is I got some sources for you. This has happened several times in the past. Iranian nuclear scientists getting killed, they're going missing.
Starting point is 00:01:52 We have stories in the 80s. We have Cold War stories. It is common in conflict for rival nations and adversaries to take out their principal thinkers and researchers. Maybe that's the case. But I'm going to squeeze in a little extra thing here. There's a nuclear propulsion researcher who was found dead. His Tesla crashed. His body was charred and unrecognizable. You know why that story's weird? He left his phone and wallet at home. And do you know why that's weird? Your phone is the key to your Tesla. So as a a Tesla driver myself. When I read that, I said, that makes sense. Sure. I mean, you have key cards, but I don't know a single Tesla driver who leaves their phone behind and then go and drives their car when you use your phone as a key. It's a weird story. So we'll get into all that stuff. Before we do, we got a great sponsor. It's pocket hose, my friends. Talk about one of the best little utilities you can get to hose that shrinks when you're not using it. Pocket hose is the number one expandable hose in the world, super lightweight, easy to manage, easy to store. You turn the water on And it grows.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You turn the water off and it shrinks. Look at it. The pocket hose ballistic is reinforced with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests. Wow, that's a good hose. Making the anti-burst sleeve practically bulletproof. And that liquid crystal polymer fiber is actually five times stronger than steel comes with the pocket pivot, which gives you total freedom of movement at the spigot with 360 degrees rotation. You move it follows and the water flows enhanced with an upgraded UV coating.
Starting point is 00:03:22 So the hose looks new year after year. Reengineered thicker washers that resist leaks. Pocket hose carries over 100 patents worldwide. Wow. And now for a limited time when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you get a free 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle. Just text Tim to 64,000. That's Tim to 64,000 for your two free gifts with purchase.
Starting point is 00:03:51 text Tim to 64,000 message and data rates may apply. And man, that sounds like a crazy hose. Shout out. I love that show. I love that hose. Yeah. I'm also really happy to just say it's like the best sponsor. I'm no disrespect to other sponsors.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But can you get like more general interest sponsorship than that? I mean, typically when you have like a right wing podcast or a conservative leading podcast, the sponsorship is like Patriot Water, you know, or some like really niche brand. it's only used by Alex Jones. No, pocketos is legit. Anyway, go to Timcast.com, sign up, become a member. Join the community.
Starting point is 00:04:27 We got tens of thousands of people that are hanging out. They're talking to each other. They're sharing stories. It's not what you know. It's who you know. And if you want to work on projects and be involved, this is a great way to do it
Starting point is 00:04:34 and you're supporting our work. So check that out. Don't forget to smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Rhett. Randy Fine. How are you?
Starting point is 00:04:44 Thanks for having me. Who are you? What are you? What do? Well, I'm a congressman from the sixth congressional district of Florida. I don't represent Orlando. I don't represent Jacksonville,
Starting point is 00:04:52 but I represent just about everything in between. I've been in Congress for about a year before that I was a state legislator. Started off as an entrepreneur, spent 22 years as a businessman, and got into the state legislature after I retired, did that for eight years, and then two weeks after I won an election
Starting point is 00:05:07 to the state Senate, President Trump asked me to run for Congress. And so I've been doing that for the last year. Came in was the first Republican to win a special election after President Trump became president. Right on. there for a year and have seen the good and the bad. And I will tell you, as bad as I thought Washington would be, it's a whole lot worse. We've got a country to save. And there's a lot we can talk about. And aliens, too, right? You can tell us about it. Well, you know, I can't talk about
Starting point is 00:05:28 the classified things that I learned. But it is, it is extraordinary. You get elected to Congress. And all of a sudden, you can say, show me the JFK stuff. Show me the aliens. You're allowed to see all the classified stuff. We can't tell you what's in it, but I can tell you I can read it. We asked George Santos, did you believe in aliens before entering Congress? And he said, no. And then we asked, Did you believe in aliens after leaving Congress? And he said, yes. Well, given some of the people I serve with, I should believe in aliens. So I think some of them may come from other planets.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Right. It's going to be fun. Thanks for hanging out. Lydia Moynihan is back. Great to be here. You got to grab your mic. I'm pointing to the microphone. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:03 You have to talk into that. Yeah. What do I need this for? No, I can just learn to sign, which is very helpful for an audio communication. Are you going to ask who I am? Because that is a question that is plagued. me. Yeah, who are you? What do you do? For many years. I am a columnist at the New York Post. I read a lot about business, technology, politics, do a lot of interviews, especially highlighting
Starting point is 00:06:27 innovation and how it's shaping the world we live in. Right on, it's going to be fun. We got Ian's hanging out. Everybody. Good to be here. Yeah, Carter's pressing the buttons. What's up? Also, Libby's here. Libby is here as well. I'm Libby. I'm Libby. I'm with the Post millennial. Glad to be here. It's a packed house. Let's get into the news. Let's get to culture warian political. We've got this from the New York Post. Democrats' favorite podcaster, Hassan Piker, says, stealing and murder are okay. Uh-huh. And you know the New York Post is jumping on this story because it's painful for Democrats.
Starting point is 00:06:56 They say at the height of the 2020 riots, a book was published entitled in Defensive Looting. At the time, I think this is Douglas Murray wrote this. At the time, I asked a bookshop in New York, which was prominently displaying the work, whether I could walk out with a book without paying, I was told not. That's a great line. But a friend did download and publish the work for free online before being served a copyright notice by the pro-looting books publisher. Some of us had hoped the madness of that summer had gone away.
Starting point is 00:07:22 But this week, we got a good reminder that for a part of the left, the question of whether or not's right to steal is still being mulled over. Well, I'm going to play this clip for you that's been going viral with 7.7 million views. Guys, just make Hassan the leader of the Democratic Party. I'm not even playing. He represents the left perfectly. there's a reason why he's the biggest left-wing streamer. The Democratic Party that we know is long gone.
Starting point is 00:07:47 It's the people that are holding it together that are more moderate. They're old. Hassan represents the young left. And I also represent people who forget to unmute tabs. Social murder. Here we go. Engels wrote about the concept of social murder. And Brian Thompson as the United Healthcare CEO was engaging in a tremendous amount.
Starting point is 00:08:11 of social murder, the systematized forms of violence, the structural violence of poverty, the for-profit paywalled system of health care in this country, and the consequences of that are tremendous amounts of pain, tremendous amounts of violence, tremendous amounts of deaths. And that was a fascinating story for me because Americans are very draconian. about crime and punishment. They're very black and white on this issue. And yet, because of the pervasive pain that the private healthcare system
Starting point is 00:08:53 had created for the average American, I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place. Let's play this next clip where he talks about how stealing is a good thing. Here you go. People are engaging in a currency scheme that people are engaging in. Would you steal from Whole Foods?
Starting point is 00:09:15 You want to go first? Well, I'm pro stealing from big corporations because, you know, they steal quite a bit more from their workers. However, one thing that might even help your ethical dilemma is the fact that the automated process that they design, these companies know will increase. shrink, right? So it's actually factored in. The lemons that you stole are factored into the bottom line of these megacorporations regardless, and they still end up having increased profit margins because they no longer have to pay, but cashiers that they used to hire as opposed to this automated system, knowing full well that people are still going to be able to steal, still steal a lot more efficiently, as a matter of fact, through the automated process. Totally. Well, I also, I was
Starting point is 00:10:10 looking things like that and shrink it. is roughly equal internally as externally. Like they expect it from their employees that they are sort of... I hate these. I'm sorry. You know, when I was younger, I didn't want to hate anybody, but I absolutely hate these people. I just, I hate. So next time, some left it goes,
Starting point is 00:10:26 I ain't spreading this time I hate, I'll be like, because I hate you. So you see where they're sitting, though, right? You see that setup, the perfect chairs, massive space in New York City. I mean, why don't they have 25,000 homeless people just living in there with them? Why aren't they giving away everything that they have? have. Why aren't they inviting everybody in to steal their stuff? Because they're hypocritical communists. Exactly. And they're hypocritical. And he's on living multi-million dollar homes. What that is was a giant word salad of big words that I'm not sure they even understand what they
Starting point is 00:10:56 mean. And look, you just got to pull back the varnish. These people are communists. That's what they are. He's saying you should be able to take what you want from the store because everything should be communal. He says, I don't like the idea of private health. care because everything should be communal. If anything, we should appreciate that they're pulling the varnish off and they're telling us who Democrats are. They want a return to the Soviet Union, this time they want it in the United States. And I think guys like that make that very clear. I just can't stand communists. Like he said, what do you say, the structural violence of poverty? To be fair, it's word sality because he wants it to sound. Instead of just saying it sucks to be
Starting point is 00:11:37 poor, he has to make it something about how it's your fault you're poor. And I don't know, And I like to stress to these communists, the existence of luxury is not oppressing you. A guy who, like, flies around in a gyrocopter over your property. Well, over your property maybe is a problem. But, like, if I see a dude who owns a gyrocopter flying over the river, which they do, I'm not saying I'm being oppressed because he won't let me fly his gyrocopter. It's just a guy over there has a thing he's allowed to have. In Hassan's mind, if someone has something and they don't give it to you, they are oppressing you.
Starting point is 00:12:11 to be fair, if he is cognizant of why that is theft, then I got to give it to him because he's basically just saying, as a barbarian, he will take whatever he wants and no one can stop him. And at least he's right about that, I guess. They don't mean for themselves either, right? Like they think that they can do all of these things. They could steal if they want to, but they don't mean they should be stolen from.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It's like Douglas Murray points out in that book in the column. And then the other thing, too, is AOC was saying in the summer of 2020 that, you know, shoplifting is okay. You had people saying looting is reparations. And you can't forget that these Democrat, communist, progressives on the left are, you know, have been backing the SPLC, which had to gin up hate in order to get donations so that they could fight that very hate. And meanwhile, they're cozing up to really hateful people like Hassan Piker.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It is ideologically consistent, though. Sure. They're advocating shoplifting. And I think it kind of is helpful because this is such a great soundbite for Republicans adding into the midterms to highlight the absurdity of it. Because a lot of times when people talk about socialism, it's all very theoretical. But that, of course, is the natural end of these policies. You think that you are entitled to something that somebody else has.
Starting point is 00:13:30 So they're just putting it out there for exactly what it is. And we can tell people that when they have to push a button in the drugstore, store to have someone come unlock the case so they can get a tube of toothpaste. This is this is why. I mean, look, what they're saying is they don't believe in private property. That's fundamentally what it is. It's okay to steal because everything is yours anyway. But they believe in their private property. Well, we're all equal. Some of us are just more equal than others. I just kind of had an epiphany. You know, no, I agree with Asan Piker, at least on Whole Foods. Because Whole Foods historically, my understanding is I just did a double check on this has contributed to
Starting point is 00:14:09 progressive and liberal causes as well as their employees overwhelmingly don't donate to progressives and leftists. So the first thing I thought when he said, you know, they automate these systems and shrinkage is factor. And he is correct. That means when I when Amazon opened their first store that was fully automated, you walk and grab whatever you want, walk out. I actually did a penetration test, we called it. I broke their security. I was able to leave. I was able to take a bag full of groceries and leave without paying for it. Full disclosure. We did pay for it, but I was able to write the system, alert them as to how we did it. And they told me explicitly, the amount of money they save on human labor is so much.
Starting point is 00:14:52 They actually don't care about theft. And so I'm thinking about that, and he's correct. But my problem with that is I have to pay a higher price for my milk because people like him steal. And then I thought about it. And I was like, well, hold on. If Whole Foods supports his politics, then why should I be the sucker paying for stuff that Whole Foods doesn't want me to pay for? My point is this. If Whole Foods is funding progressives who say to steal from them, they may as well put up a big sign saying, no, actually want you to steal only the suckers pay.
Starting point is 00:15:23 In which case to the employees who work there and donate, when you get fired because they can't make any money anymore, well, that's what you asked for. So thank you and have a nice day. Well, isn't everyone who follows the law at this point, basically a sucker? Yes. You know, I mean, if you look at New York City, too, you have Mom Donnie talking about how he's essentially going to tax wealthier, whiter neighborhoods in order to, you know, help the people who have worse jobs or whatever. I'm okay with that, too. You're okay with taxing the white, just because they're because they're, because they're not, they're not like conservative white people. They're affluent white female liberals.
Starting point is 00:15:55 They voted for this. They did vote for that. Yeah, they're not taxing me. So I'm kidding, by the way. I think it's a horrible policy. I'm saying they're suckers for going along with it and for doing it. I mean, you saw Ken Griffin, right? Like, Mom Donnie called out Ken Griffin's penthouse.
Starting point is 00:16:08 And now Ken Griffin's like, you know what? Maybe I'll just pull my $6 billion project from New York City. He should. Yes, he should, right? He's not going to. No, but he ought to. He said he might. He already has shifted a significant amount of his operation.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Oh, that's good. Well, he should just get out entirely. No, look, these guys don't live in the real world. That's part of the problem. They live in a world of sunshine, rainbows, pixie dust, and unicorns. None of the policies they talk about actually make any sense. And that's why you see New York. York being hollowed out and the only thing that's growing there is apparently urinating in the
Starting point is 00:16:37 street because that's gone up 50% since he took over. Everyone is high. There's a far side comic. It's from the early 90s, I think, you know, what's it, Gary Larson? Was that his name? Yeah. And it's two parents watching their kid play, and he play Mario. And they're smiling and going like, you know, like going like this.
Starting point is 00:16:56 And in their thought bubble, they're looking at want a job listing saying, you know, job needed Super Mario Brothers player, 20,000. thousand dollars a year, looking for expert my old brothers player. The joke at the time was that you would never get a job playing video games. Well, as we know now, you can get a lot of money playing video games for our living. My point is maybe what they can do in New York is turn urinating into the street into some kind of entertainment that people will pay money to watch. And just like video games, you can make something enjoyable, at least, for the people of New York and turn it into a lucrative business. Well, that would you'd need Scott Wiener from California. who likes to go to the Folsom Street Fair and watchmen urinating on each other in kiddie pools. So that is a thing.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I mean, they have it in San Francisco, so we should just bring it to New York and then everybody's happy. You know, but you did see Sean Duffy say that the FAA was specifically hiring gamers. And they had a record higher turn. Air traffic controllers. Yeah, it was like 8,000 applied
Starting point is 00:17:55 and like 7,400 were qualified. Yeah, they got good hand-eye coordination. Yeah, for sure. I told my son. I was like, hey, look at that. Stop reading. Play more video game. Well, in the future, flying.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I don't have to tell him. He's doing it on his own. I lips for like 747s are you going to have PlayStation controllers. They're going to be like, well, I've been doing this my whole life. I mean, whatever this thing is, I don't need. I just use a controller. Just going back, though, to this idea of that, I mean, the entire reason that we have government in the first place, if you think back to Leviathan and some of these early political philosophers,
Starting point is 00:18:29 the only reason that we have a social contract with the government is to protect private property. That's literally it. It's the idea that we seed some of our freedom to an organization that's supposed to protect us and keep us safe and we pay taxes. And that's how government
Starting point is 00:18:47 has evolved. That's the only reason that people have agreed to part with some of their freedom to have a government. And so what they're suggesting completely undermines all of Western civilization completely undermines the social
Starting point is 00:19:03 contract that we have with our government. If private property is no longer going to be protected, what are we doing here? It's completely undermining it's the corporatocracy is concerning like the Chinese billionaires buying American farmland is legal, but like at some point you may want to seize that property from the Chinese because it's the American citizen comes first in America. That's because they're buying a military basis. Well, you can see it in grocery stores. If you go to certain parts of the country and you've seen this where they allow crime to run free and your example. example, when everyone thinks they can go and steal the stuff out of the grocery store,
Starting point is 00:19:37 guess what happens to the grocery store? It closes and they leave. It doesn't even go out of business. They just shut it and say, we're out of here. And then the Democrats demand that they actually stay and operate it. And then you end up with Mamdani opening a $30 million supermarket, which is going to be, by the way, much more expensive per square foot than the whole foods that regular people can't afford to shop. That's like 27 million. None of this makes any sense in the real world. Think about what's going to happen to this Momdani government grocery store. People are going to steal everything. And the government. government worker is going to be sitting there and she's going to be filing her nails and
Starting point is 00:20:05 the guy's going to grab a big, I'm not, I don't care. We had government grocery stores. They had them. $30 minimum wage. I'm not doing anything. $30 minimum wage. Isn't it that? Isn't it $30? People who were trying to get snow out of the streets with shovels, they were paid $40 plus an hour and their incentive, of course, was to stay on the job as long as possible.
Starting point is 00:20:24 They didn't do it though, right? Shovel is a little snow because you had to have an ID. We had to collect a check. I think, you know, we got this article from the New York Times. This is why there's no liberal Joe Rogan. it used to be titled Hassan Piker is not the enemy or something like that. And I just look at this picture of all these people gathering around Hassan Piker. And I'm just like, I think the collective IQ of this whole group is maybe like 400.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Well, you know, Hassan's issue, I think his issue, I don't want to put it. And it's all Hassans, by the way. Is that he doesn't like people? I think he kind of has a lot of anger. Rogan doesn't have anger towards. He beats it out in the gym. I mean, Hassan might not be hateful. I don't think he's really, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:00 He just seems like he's like pissed off a lot. and like willing to say horrific things. Rogan is not going to touch. I'm not going to rag on Hassan for complaining about stuff and being angry because we're angry and complain all the time as well. My bigger concern is that he's a liar. Well, his whole schick is a lie. He is someone, and this is part of the problem in America today.
Starting point is 00:21:21 He's from Turkey. His parents were from Turkey. They came to the United States so that they could have him. He became a birthright citizen. As soon as he was born, they took him back to Turkey. He grew up there. and then he comes back here and he's just as American, supposedly as the rest of us. Someone who's not inculcated in our values and what it's like to be an American, now the sudden's
Starting point is 00:21:41 going to lecture us on what country should be like. My argument is that the process of birth tourism is immigration fraud. It is. And according to the Immigration and Naturalization Act, someone who obtains a citizenship through fraud can be denaturalized and deported. and should, as your acquisition pans out to be, following an investigation into what his parents did, should it turn out to have been fraudulent, he should be stripped of citizenship and deported back to Turkey. 10% of people born in the United States this year are this exact situation.
Starting point is 00:22:14 They're born to people who shouldn't even be here. This is a real problem because now they're just as American as you and I, apparently. Yeah, but he said he doesn't have an ounce of patriotism. There's no love for this country. What I don't, what I truly don't understand is why do all these people, who hate us, who hate our values, who hate the American project, who hate the history.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Why do they all come? And we saw this, but they get to destroy us. Well, they get us. Are you familiar with the Trojan horse? Yeah. Why did the soldiers go inside
Starting point is 00:22:43 and try and get into the enemy's fortress? Well, they wanted to kill everybody. It is also part of the, it's like if you look in the Quran, which I haven't read, but which one of my columnists worked on a few years ago, and I read all of her stories. Anyway, she was telling me that
Starting point is 00:22:56 the first part of jihad, is to become part of a society, to assimilate into it if you're not in the majority, to take what you can, to take up a victim status, and then to slowly gain everybody's trust as you gain political power. And one thing that's interesting
Starting point is 00:23:11 about the Islamic immigrants from, you know, Arabia and North Africa is unlike the traditional immigrant experience where people wait until they gain political power, you know, like the Irish, the Italians, you know, Jews. It's like a couple generations before you start getting involved in, you know, the political apparatus of your community, you'll see first generation Somalis like, you know, El Han Omar getting involved in politics at the, you know, right there, right all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:23:39 And that is a different thing than we've previously seen. And it makes you start to think, like, maybe you weren't like in some sort of crazy survival situation where you needed to like, hurry up and go somewhere else and establish a new life and get your feet back under you and get your whole thing together. Maybe you have a plan of what you want to do. I don't know. I think there's no question that's what's going on with a lot of this stuff. You think that's like they're here. They're here to destroy. In many of these cases, they were not the refugees.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Elon Omar's father was one of the people doing the bad things in Somalia. She was, they were fleeing from him, not the other way around. And that's the case with many of these people. Her and her brother, you know. Oh, that whole thing. Yeah, but, but many of these people, Hassan Piker was not some poor person who needed to come to America for opportunity. His parents were wealthy. They came here.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Aren't there all these pictures of him with ponies? Yeah, they're wealthy. So this all is a fraud. It all is a scam. And they are here. They do hate America. And they're here to destroy America. That is the goal.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I align with the idea, the concern that the corporatocracy is going to buy us out and make us a permanent rental class. And I think that that I align with the leftist communist. They want to stop that too. But their methodology is to use violent force sometimes. And like, I'm open to the government seizing property. like if it was Chinese farm, you know, Chinese bought American farmland. Like that's arguably communist to use the government to seize private property. But by the way, in those cases, it's called eminent domain.
Starting point is 00:25:10 They actually give them the market value of it. They don't just take it. And we do that all the time. If they want to expand the road out in front of here, the government can seize the property in order to expand the road, but then they have to give you the market price to do it. That's been something that's been around for a long time. I think the challenge here is what does it mean? to be an American and what is our culture and are we going to be able to do these things?
Starting point is 00:25:32 You talk about the corporatocracy. Oh, wow. It's the creation of wealth and companies that's made America, America. All these great technologies that we're talking about. It was some entrepreneur that came up with that hose that you were talking about earlier and probably came up with the idea in America because we create all the innovations in the world. I just, you know, ask the robot. And it says that incest is fairly common in Somalia.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Around 49% of Somalis are the product of first or second cousin marriages. Wow. saw what Kier-Star Starmer just recently said in the UK. He married his cousin? No, but he did say that they should... They've been debating it. Remove the bias against first cousin marriage. In West Virginia, when you try to get married, because my wife and I, we got married,
Starting point is 00:26:14 and, duh, they go, are you related to each other? And we were like, what? No, do you ask everyone that? And they're like, we have to. Yes, they do. And I was like, is that common in West Virginia? You're like, no, it's not actually. It's the difference in a family tree and a helix.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Yeah, exactly. I mean, I remember in Boston when my dad and his second wife got married, they had to take blood tests, and that was part of it. It used to be very, very common that they would make sure that you're not related. And if you look at actually the history of Europe, it is the removal of intrafamilial marriage that made there be more diversity in Europe. You know, it was better for everybody's brains and chins also. And interestingly, with all of the incest-driven marriages, it's a lot of the incest-driven marriages, It makes the kids dumber. That happens, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:00 It makes them, it makes you less intelligent. Yep. It creates more defects. Mm-hmm. And interestingly, it creates more violent tendencies when you do these things. Really? Mm-hmm. So these are, these are, that is why the average IQ in many of these countries is so much lower.
Starting point is 00:27:16 It's not that inherently people are smarter or less smart. Because they're marrying their cousins. It is a bad idea. And that's part of what the less is a race. It's a bad idea. It's a bad idea. It's a bad idea to, you know. But they're debating that in Parliament in the UK now about, and people are saying if you don't allow cousin marriage or Islamophobic.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Well, no. I mean, if that's what we can say part of our problem in our society today is we have stopped saying some cultures are better than others. There used to be a time there were cultures that said it was okay to eat people. And we said, nope, not okay. There were cultures that said child sacrifice was okay. And we said, nope, that's not okay. But somehow we have forgotten that. And it is okay for us to say the American culture is the best culture that's ever existed.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And we should say it. We should. And if you don't like it, get out. That used to be a thing that was common that people would say America's the best country. But now we're up against the Internet, so you really have to prove it. Words aren't enough. We've got to show the world that we can lead this thing. I think we've been doing that.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And, you know, a good example is in terms of like, you know, Americans, like there's not a lot of cousin marriage. Everybody marries somebody totally different from their background. I want to, oh. I want to jump to, well, hit your point before. jump to the next story. No, I was just going to say, I mean, with Hassan Piker, we kind of started this by saying, oh, isn't this disastrous for Democrats. I don't know that that's true because they seem to be embracing him and sort of glossing him. Obviously, he's on the New York
Starting point is 00:28:38 Times podcast. He's getting platforms. He's invited to Yale to speak at the same time that, for instance, at UCLA, a woman who survived the 10-7 attacks was faced with protests because it was offensive to students that somebody who had survived that kind of violence should speak because they were pro-po-po-known. None of it makes any sense. But it's interesting. We're also saying, you know, Obama spending time
Starting point is 00:29:03 with Zoran Mamdani. So there is just an eagerness, and you even saw it in the facial expression of the woman who was interviewing him. There's so much eagerness to latch on to what they see as charisma and reaching the youth. And no one in the Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:29:19 is willing to call this out. My favorite part of the Yale speech was when Hassan said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the greatest, what do you say, catastrophes of the 20th century. And then he was like after it ended, you know, people were committing suicide. They lost their jobs. There was a lot of rape and children being murdered. And it's funny because it's like, uh-huh. And all that was happening while the Soviet Union existed too. So like your point is bad things the Soviet Union were doing persisted after they ended.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Okay. Was he talking about the way it got? broken up because I think it was like businessmen that kind of decided how it was going to happen. He was saying that after the Soviet Union collapsed, there was a lot of suicide, murder, crime, and those bad things emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union. He's trying to make this point that while the Soviet Union was bad for a lot of reasons, they brought, they had some stability. And after they fell, everything was cattic and destructive. And the problem is the Soviet unions went like, you know, I don't know, killed like 30 million. We had everybody in Koologs,
Starting point is 00:30:17 too. There's like so many people in jail. Yeah, Ukrainians starved to death in the, was it the 30s, the Halladamore. And they had ethnic supremacy movements. And yeah, so all of that was really bad. We don't like the Soviet Union at all. And Hassan, you know, I wonder too, because how does someone so intentionally, like, you know, I don't think he's stupid. I don't think you get to these positions by being dumb. But he is dishonest. And there's a lot of examples of this. Here's what I don't do. I'm going to jump to this from the New York Times. This is the article where they actually highlight the interview with Hassan. The rich don't play by the rules, so why should I?
Starting point is 00:30:56 I want to, is that a quote from Hassan? I'm just going to do this real quick. I really want to see if that's something he actually said, because if it is, okay, no, okay, Spiegelman said that. I was going to say, if Hassan said that, I was going to say he is rich, but I want to jump to this portion of the interview so you can understand the depravity, that is, the modern liberal condition. Tolentino says, this is one of the individuals on the podcast for the New Times, one thing that should be legal that isn't, bracket. I'm going to read the bracket for
Starting point is 00:31:31 you in a second, the M-Dash, sorry, but I want to finish her thought. One thing that should be legal that isn't, maybe things like blowing up a pipeline, let's say that. Now, there's a big thing in the middle there that I do think it's worth reading, but just to point out, her idea is it be legal to blow up pipelines. Now, let me read what you said. One thing that should be legal that isn't, it's interesting because I have to regularly explain this stuff to a small child and have so thoroughly explained it to her
Starting point is 00:32:00 that some things are against the rules, but they're okay, depending on who you are. And some things are not against the rules, but they're not okay. There are so many perfectly legal things I do regularly that I find mildly immoral, like getting iced coffee in a plastic cup. I find that to be a profoundly selfish, immoral, collectively destructive action.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I have taken so many planes for so many, pleasure reasons. I have acted in so many selfish ways that are not only legal, but they're sanctioned and they're unbelievably valorized culturally. So maybe things like blowing up a pipeline. Let's say that. She literally said it is morally wrong to drink coffee in a plastic cup, but it's okay to blow up a pipeline. The current state of the modern liberal condition is that murder, terrorism, and theft are legal and should be legal and are acceptable. I bet she also is complaining that gas prices are a dollar higher than when the conflict in Iran started. She's not, she doesn't drive it, she doesn't have a car.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Did you, did you all see Greta Toonberg? I love this. When Cuba gets sanctioned, she goes, they are stopping so oil from getting Cuba. And it's like, lady, 10 years ago. You hate oil, you idiot. You said ban all oil. What do you think was going to happen? Just give them some solar panels.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Because I don't know. Drive over there with your solar panels. It's all fake to advance this ideology. These are all tools in their arsenal. to try to get to communism. You know what Tom Piker should have said about the Soviet Union is they just didn't do enough communism.
Starting point is 00:33:24 That's how he felt. That was the catastrophe. We haven't really tried communism. It wasn't done the right way. That's exactly. It's called into vanguardism. We technically never have had a communist system because a communist state is an oxymoron.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Communism means there is no state. I haven't seen it. You get this small group of 12 people into power and then they like with the Chinese and with the Russians, the Soviets, they just hold on and forever. And then one of them. Because it doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:33:48 That's why someone that it doesn't work because the people in charge are going to always make it work to their own advantage and that and that is the funny thing is it's people like this that end up in charge and then they they don't mind flying on their private jets while they complain about everyone else driving a car. Well they make sure they don't use the closet top. I got to give him some respect. I mean, conservatives are just the Republican Party. I just, I really hate Republicans. They're staring to the abyss. Republicans go up on stage in their suits and they go, you know, when I get into office, I'm going to say, slow down there, Democrats. And everyone cheers and waves their American flags.
Starting point is 00:34:28 And then Democrats go up on stage. And what a Hakeem Jeffries just say? Maximum warfare. So I've been in Congress a year. And you're right. I'll tell you what I've learned. Democrats ruthlessly use their power to advance their ideology, which frankly, I find evil. And most Republicans are content to manage our decline.
Starting point is 00:34:45 We just have to be polite. We must be polite. Don't be too aggressive. Don't fight too hard. That wouldn't be nice. That's the problem. Curtis Yarvin, I think, said this, that Republicans treat power the way a wine snob treats alcohol. And Democrats treat power the way an alcoholic treats alcohol.
Starting point is 00:35:05 It's a great analogy. And it's true. And I can tell you, being inside for the last year, that is what it is like. I also think inherently, like, conservatives, the conservative impulse, and most Republicans are conservatives, is to maintain the status quo, is to preserve what we have. And naturally, most Democrats are revolutionaries. They want to destroy. They want to blow things up.
Starting point is 00:35:27 That is the progressive revolutionary impulse. You know how I imagine it. There's like high school, you know, it's like a maybe like a middle school playground. And there's this kid with like a leather jacket and his hair's all messy. And, you know, all the girls are like, oh, he's a bad boy. That's the Democrats. And then there's this like nerdy kid who's like walking. And then the kid in the jacket shoves him to the ground.
Starting point is 00:35:51 And then all of his friends start laughing. And the nerdy kid gets up and goes, that was really funny of you to do that to me. You're so smart. And he's like, yeah, shut up, get out of here. That's how I view the Democrats and the Republicans. Like, remember when Bowman like pulled the sign off the door and then opened it, committing a crime?
Starting point is 00:36:08 And then they're just like, we're not going to do anything about it. Look, they're doing it right now. I mean, the Democrats have said, we're not going to fund the people who protect the border and manage immigration and custom enforcement. And Schumer called them all evil in the last day or two. So that is what they think. They don't believe in law and order. He called them evil and rogue and everything.
Starting point is 00:36:28 These are people who literally check your passport when you come in and out of the border. I mean, that is where we are, where there is good and there is evil. And unfortunately, I think a lot of my colleagues refuse to understand this is not our fathers. this is not our grandfather. I don't think so. I think they're cowards. That is true as well. I think, you know, because you can see there's a handful of Republicans that are not cowards
Starting point is 00:36:50 and they get into trouble in the media. They're willing to stand up, speak out. I'm one of them. You know, perhaps, yeah. Cause fights. But many Republicans just keep their heads down, shut up. This is easier to do. Yeah, because regarding the decline of America and like reversing that, what, like,
Starting point is 00:37:07 are you like into the technocracy? I don't see like a better world than a technocracy. I just don't want global total. totalitarian networks that seize your free speech and shut off your bank account. Well, but that's where we're headed. I mean, that's what the liberals were doing. They were deplatforming everyone who disagreed with them. That's what they were using technology to do.
Starting point is 00:37:24 We're the side that wants to let people be able to say whatever they want. You may get criticized for doing it. But I think there's too many people who are willing to just go along with the grand slide. And it is very, very frustrating. And I wish we were willing to fight more. I do this job for two reasons. They're my children.
Starting point is 00:37:40 And I'm very, very worried about what the future holds. for them. I'm not convinced that the America they'll inherit will be the America that we grew up in. You just got to make sure that they lift and they're trained with their firearms. I wanted my oldest son to watch tonight, but he's at the gym. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. There you go.
Starting point is 00:37:56 It seems like it's like society's hanging on to the 20th century with oil and all these old technologies and we're rapidly advancing to light speed information like AI communication, virtual realities. Some of these wild new technologies like talking plazes,
Starting point is 00:38:12 We're in, like, An old tech, bro. I know. Like 20 years old. I know. And people still don't know what it. Some people still don't know what it is. Um, that we're, but, but like most of maybe Congress doesn't can't under their,
Starting point is 00:38:24 their minds aren't intelligent enough to comprehend the potential outcomes of reality in the future. No, that's just like, whatever. We'll just get more oil and just keep doing the same thing. There's different members of Congress with different. What I'm, specialties and areas of expertise. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:37 But what it seems like as a whole, most of the, the body seems oblivious. No, it's morally weak. I don't know. It seems like they're confused and distorted because they don't know what to do. I'm fairly certain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably have a better understanding due to classified briefings on technology than the average person than the average, you know, American. Yeah, and I benefit. That's the world I came from.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I spent 22 years as a software entrepreneur. And so I, maybe I understand it better than most. My point to you, Ian, is that we are hearing from members of Congress that they've been briefed on advanced technologies already. So your idea that they're unaware of these things. They're more aware than you are. But sometimes people oppose the technology. So it'll give you a great example. So AI's big deal.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I mean, you were playing unbelievable songs that you created with AI. But to do AI, you need to have a lot of energy to make the computers work. And now you'll have people say, I don't want one of these data centers in my backyard. You know, someone's going to win the AI race. Is it going to be America or is it going to be China? And I will tell you, there are a lot of us working hard on it. I have a bill that deals with AI, Brian Mask, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, that I sit on has spent a ton of time getting us up to speed on AI.
Starting point is 00:39:45 But then we're against those who are like, oh my gosh, I don't want an AI data center in my backyard for X, Y, and Z reasons. So these, there are complicated. And they take a lot of energy and people are legitimately worried that you'll put an AI center out here. It'll take all the energy and it'll make everybody else's rates go up. So we have to be innovative in how we harness energy. Because here's what I'll tell you, China's building factories every day.
Starting point is 00:40:10 So they have the energy. They are way ahead of us in one way. They are building the energy infrastructure. It's not that it's advanced energy. They're just going to have a lot of it. We have to make sure we do the same so that we can compete. Aren't they creating a lot more coal plant? Oh, yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Yeah, they sell us. They sell us the solar panels. They sell us the solar panels that they make with the coal-fired plants. So much, so much of what the left pushes on us is a scam. Yes. And this is one of them. The whole thing's a scam. The SPLC being the best example or the most frequent example.
Starting point is 00:40:43 It's all a lie. It is a lie to control us, destroy our civilization, destroy what's made America, America. And it's why we've got to fight back against it every day. I think you're right. I think it is about control. It's about controlling people. Because if you control the energy and you control everybody's jobs and you get rid of private property, then suddenly everyone is working for the government or getting money from the government,
Starting point is 00:41:04 getting fed from the government, getting their health care from the government. And then suddenly you're not an independent. person. You're not a liberty. You're not a free person. You're a person who serves government. And government, of course, is supposed to serve us. And then they can do communism the real way that's never been tried. Yes, smart contracts. Let's jump to the story from the post millennial. 114,000 New Yorkers have fled since in 2025 ahead of the Mamdani taking of the Gracie Mansion across all income levels. More people moved out of New York City than moved in. The only thing I would say is a lot of people are like, yeah, that'll show, no, this is what they
Starting point is 00:41:39 want to happen. Take a look at this from the New York Post. Ken Griffin's Citadel claps back at Mamdani's viral penthouse video, threatens to scrap $6 billion New York City development. Do it. Do not put $6 billion into New York. I can sit here and talk about accelerationism all day and say, aha, people are going to leave New York. They want that. It allows them to consolidate power because the people who are leaving are the people who vote against this. But if you pull your investment out, They have no power. They will lord over a pile of ashes. If people keep investing in New York City, despite knowing this psychopathic crackpot has taken over, you will enrich and empower him.
Starting point is 00:42:22 He will steal your assets. You put that money in his jurisdiction. He will put it in his pocket. So instead of just threatening to do it, why don't you go ahead and do it? Well, the issue I have with the headline that you should before is they're all leaving and moving to Florida. And as a Floridian, as a Floridian, I should like that, right? my state's booming, everybody's coming. But here's why it's bad.
Starting point is 00:42:42 New York's going to collapse because everyone will leave. See, if I don't like American policies, I have three choices in American. I can burn my passport, pay my taxes, or go to jail. If you don't like what they're doing in New York, you can just get in your car and drive away. And that's what a lot of people are doing. But what's going to end up happening, and this is why every American needs to be worried about this, when New York goes bankrupt, they're going to come to the taxpayers of the other 40, nine states and say you have to bail us out. It's why we all have to care because New York's
Starting point is 00:43:14 problems will ultimately become all of our problems. Well, I'm, I'm, maybe the harsh reality is that Trump does not have the capability to deal with issues like this, but he's budding up with Mamdani in the Oval Office. Trump should be exerting every avenue possible to be stopping things like this from happening. He doesn't do it. So it's no surprise that you've got so many people turning on Donald Trump and these podcasters, these specific individuals that he's called out, are finding it is very lucrative to be against him. And I think the reason is you've got the younger conservative guys, many of them flock towards people like Nick Fuentes. Fentes says, screw Trump. Don't support him. Vote for the Democrats. Republicans deserve to lose.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So Trump's losing the support. And then I'm sitting here saying like, I got to be honest, I don't know what I get for voting for Republican either other than a speed bump for Democrats. And by all means it's a fair argument. It's better to have Republicans do nothing than Democrats burn it down. But if the argument is managed decline or decline, I'm going to choose prepping. I'll just say, okay, well, then I'm not interested in any of it because I can dedicate my time and energy to saying, man, we better get a Republican Congress to take the majority this time around. And then what happens? They can't, the Save Act, 80% support across the country and they won't pass it. So the thing is, if I felt that it would be punishing for Republicans to vote against them,
Starting point is 00:44:38 I would, but it's not. Right? So Dave Smith says Republicans deserve to lose. He's like, I wouldn't advocate giving Democrats to the White House or anything like that, but then he'd be punished. Nick Fuentes has something similar. The problem is people like John, like, like Thune, he doesn't care if they lose the majority. He's going to laugh the whole time.
Starting point is 00:44:57 He's obstructing this intentionally. So the problem is, you can. can vote for Republicans to get nothing or do nothing and then Democrats just burn everything down. The problem, though, is once Democrats burn everything down, we're living in ashes. And so that's not great. Well, I mean, I moved out the middle of nowhere and I own chickens. And like, I'm just saying I'm preparing. Because it's either going to happen next year or the year after.
Starting point is 00:45:19 By the way, all the places where they sent all the Haitians and they started eating the cats and eating the dogs, it was a place like this. So you never know what will happen at the Democrats. Well, no, no, that can't happen here because the, the, the, the, the, the D.C. people, fleeing the crime move to the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. So you found the one safe place. If you expect... Well, until they over,
Starting point is 00:45:38 over, you know, overrun us and... There's trans flags in my neighborhood. If you expect me to defend what's going on with Republicans in Washington, I'm not going to do it because I'm so frustrated. I don't understand it myself. It's got to be aliens. I think it's because it's hard.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It is hard to fight. It's easier to just go along to get along. to get along. It's easier to say, I'll make that someone else's problem. Or I don't want it to get in the way of my reelection or I don't want it to get in the way of the job that I want next. The only hope that I have is that the Save Act is being held up just a little bit so that they can get it right before the midterms where it'll have an impact. Otherwise, it might go into the Supreme Court and to get stays and injunctions or whatever. I just don't believe it to be the case. All the prediction markets are basically saying the same thing. It's not going to get past.
Starting point is 00:46:30 In which case, it's just like, listen, if I was in, if I was a senator, I'd probably, I'd probably get expelled. Like the things that I would do and say, nothing criminal. I'm just like, yo, I would ram things through. I would, I would, that should be happening. And they have that power.
Starting point is 00:46:48 There are things, they just won't do it. One member can grind the filibuster in two seconds. One place could, one member can grind the police to halt. I don't know why they don't do it. But what I've done is, I've said, I'm not voting for any bill. I'm in the House. I've said, I'm not voting for any bills that come from the Senate.
Starting point is 00:47:03 None. I voted for one a couple days ago. I even tell my staff, I don't even care what the Senate bill does. I don't want to know. If it's a Senate bill, I'm voting no on anything other than reopening the Department of Homeland Security. I'm voting no on anything because there's nothing more important for them to do than to make sure illegals can't vote in our elections. You know, the longest filibuster in American history was 62 days. for the Civil Rights Act to make sure that black people could vote in our elections. It was worth 62 days to make sure that bill passed. It's worth 62 days to make sure people who aren't Americans can't vote in our election.
Starting point is 00:47:41 But it's not even that. It's the save action is a general election security bill. I think it's simple enough to say it prevents illegal aliens from voting, but it prevents duplicate voting. It prevents accidental dual state voting. Again, I'm not saying intentional multi-state fraud. I'm saying maybe there's a little old lady. It happens.
Starting point is 00:48:01 You know, exactly. And she forgets, she filled out, you know, two ballots. Well, this prevents that too. So it just cleans things up. And you know what? Democrats want it to. And for some reason, not the politicians. Democrat voters, 70 plus percent, polled in favor of this.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Independence, 80, Republicans over 90, giving us an average of around 80 percent popular support in the country for the Save Act. And they're just like, oh, gee, well, I guess I can't pass it. Okay, well, then you can't. do anything, I guess. Well, I think it's because they've, they made some decision that we no longer live in a democracy. A democracy would be a majority rule, 51 out of 100, but they made some arbitrary decision that if you can't get 60 votes, you can't pass anything. The filibuster's not in our Constitution. It's not in the Declaration of Independence. And in fact, the way that they use it today is an artifact of the 1970s. It used to be if you wanted to filibuster, you had to stand up and
Starting point is 00:48:53 be Mr. Smith goes to Washington and yell and scream and hold it in and not go to the bathroom. for hours and hours and hours. Now you just say, nope, there's 41 votes against it. We're not even going to consider it. I can't explain why they do it that way. It doesn't make any sense to me. And frankly, if they stick with it, they may destroy the country. I mean, the other concern is that as soon as we get rid of it, then Democrats sweep in. But they're going to do that anyway. They're going to. They tried the two Democratic senators that kept them from doing it. Last time they were in charge, they ran both of them. And they ran them both out of town.
Starting point is 00:49:30 So every Democratic senator who was there for that, who's there now, has said, let's get rid of the filibuster. Well, you hear them talking about it. You hear them to think their plans are. What's the average age of Congress right now? Let me. Didn't another Congress have been? I think the Senate's a little older. The Senate's a little older.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Let's do the average age of the Senate. Because I'm going to tell you what I think. I'll tell you what I think. Let's look at it. 64. Okay. I'm 40. I just turned 40 last month.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I think people in my. age group, when we get, like when younger millennials start getting into the Senate with power, it's going to be nuclear bombs going off left and right. I think what you're seeing is the older generation saying, well, no, no, like, let's listen. We don't want to go nuclear. You know, we don't want them to do it to us. And my attitude is like, oh, I would, I would, if there was a red button in the Senate, I'd just be like, this is just smashing it every time. Well, I mean, it's drastic. These senators sitting there being like, what's another $1 trillion? Yo, bro. The younger generation isn't in a time for that, man. We need radical change.
Starting point is 00:50:34 We need radical change. It's just you've got to define what that means. And I disagree with a lot of the extremism. Right now you're looking at members of the House and the Senate who are skewing a little bit older, like Nancy Pelosi. You know what I mean? Is she skewing a little older, you think? Yeah. To be fair, Mike Johnson's not that old. But I think once you get a majority, of people from my generation, the left, you're going to have Hassan Piker as the Speaker of the House. I figure they're running in these elections. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:03 The best shot Republicans have to keep the majority is the kind of candidates they are putting up. But the way to win a Democratic primary today, the craziest person will win. You know, so soon... With gerrymandering, too, you think about it, used to be that all of these districts, if they're arranged for fairness as they should be,
Starting point is 00:51:23 they're moderate districts so it could go either way. And so as a result of that you have candidates who run who have to be moderate to get both liberal and conservative votes. And now the gerrymandering is making it, of course, so that you have just one group
Starting point is 00:51:39 that's voting for somebody putting them in. And so you're going to see really extreme people on the right and the left. And that's another outcome of gerrymandering. I don't think we're going to see any sort of agreement on anything. We also have people saying, They're moderates, running as moderates, and then not being that at all.
Starting point is 00:51:57 The average age of the house is 58. So, shuf, I'm a little younger. When, you know, I would say this, I said I would never run, but I'm just getting more and more angry. And the only thing at this point, there's two big things. One, I have people work at a company that rely on me to do my job to make sure that they can do theirs. But also, I'm in Riley Moore's District, you know, and he's a good one. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:52:19 I don't need to run here, and I'm not going to move somewhere else just to try and represent. You could run for the state? You could run for the state. I wouldn't want to run to represent the state to itself. Yeah. I wouldn't mind representing the interests of the district to the federal government, but Riley Moore does a heck have a better job than I ever could. I like, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I'm good here. And I don't like the idea of like, what, where could Tim Poole move to so that I could run for office and represent. You don't want to be a carpet bagger. Yeah, get out of here. One of my takes on politicians is that you get them in so that you get the people in that won't stop you from doing what you want to do in the private sector. Like the president, he's got the veto power.
Starting point is 00:52:53 like Obama. That was the thing about him. I was like, he's not going to stop me from issuing a social revolution. I kind of backed off of the idea, but do you get this feeling too, Randy, that Congress and the executive branch really their position is just to stop people from going too crazy and just watch over the people? Because that's what I want it to be. No, I think the other side is crazy. And they want more crazy that's going on there. And again, I can't explain the behavior of some of my Republican colleagues. I mean, last week, there was a bill that a dozen of them voted for to have infinity Haitian immigrants that were here illegally get welfare forever. I just, I, I, I, I don't know. I can't. Honestly, I think part of it is there become these magic bullets, the compassion
Starting point is 00:53:36 bullet. Well, their lives stink in Haiti. So we have compassion. But here's what I would say. I'm a math guy. When we're borrowing a trillion dollars or more a year that we don't have, that's going to be a big problem. The reason we have problems in Washington is people, I tell my colleagues this all the time, you need to worry more about the judgment of your children than you do the judgment of the voters. Your children will forgive you if you lose an election. They will not forgive you if you destroy the country. That's who's going to remember you when you die is your kids. And I think there are too many people focused on the moment and the next election and getting to the next job and doing everything else. And they're not realizing that America's 250 years old. We're not going to make it another
Starting point is 00:54:20 250 years if we continue to do things the way that we have done them. Every great empire and history, when they have collapsed, the overwhelming majority of collapsed, not because they got beaten in a war. It's because they did it to themselves, usually because they borrowed more money than they could afford. I think it's just the sad reality is over a long enough period of time, there's, we're looking at a loss of trust in society. You know, we made the joke the other night. about if you ever wondered what it was like in a high trust society because we don't find it these days, go to a ski resort where people put thousands of dollars with a ski equipment just next to a fence and then walk away, go inside, have dinner, come back out three hours later.
Starting point is 00:54:59 And there it is. Nobody touched it. Nobody wants it. It's high trust. We expect that we're not going to get attacked. So I look at someone like Zoran Mamdani, and I respect him tremendously. He's a warrior. This is true.
Starting point is 00:55:12 He is a warrior who is willing to do any. anything to get his way. And the right in this country, the traditionalist Americans have very few warriors. So you look at Mamdani. He's from Uganda. He comes to New York. He lies his ass off. And he says, basically, I'm going to put a bunch of policy into place that will burn the whole place to the ground because he clearly does not like America. No. That's why he said in his campaign that he would protect illegal immigrants, non-citizens from the American people who voted to have them removed. I want to stress this. The American people voted for Donald Trump. Immigration was a principal issue. In response that Mamdani said, I will protect you from them. When he was campaigning, he was campaigning directly to the people who broke our laws that we voted to have deported. He is, it is very brave to go into a foreign country and propose these things. I mean, seriously, could you imagine going to the UK, standing up on a soapbox and denouncing Islam? I mean, they destroy you.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yeah, they'd knife you to death. They'd stab you. And Zormandani knows he can come to the United States and tell the American people to their faces. You voted, F yourselves. I will stop you. And you can't do anything about it. And he's right. No one does anything about it.
Starting point is 00:56:33 That's why I think he should be denaturalized and deported. So, I mean, I think he lied to become a citizen. I think he did not disclose all of the relationships and all the views that he had when you have to fill at that form. Right. That was a big story. And I think he should be deported. And Ilan Omar as well. Even the Star Tribune stated it was possible, the preponderance of evidence, she married her brother so that he could get immigration status. And the INA is clear that if convicted of that, she can be denaturalized and deported. But you know what? No one is going to do it because we are a nation. Unfortunately, we have our cowards outweigh our warriors. On our side. Not on the
Starting point is 00:57:12 And I want to stress this to Democrats, like Hassan Piker. Hassan Piker is a great man. I didn't say good. He is a man of magnitude who is willing to incite people to violence and advocate for murder and death in the highest of places. Conservatives are unwilling to take that step because it would be wrong to advocate for these things. Hassan Piker is willing to electrocute his own dog on camera so that he can have, the aesthetic of his dog on camera. There is a degree of brutality
Starting point is 00:57:46 and lack of remorse that he has, and that, unfortunately, for people needing to realize, a man who is willing to electrocute his own dog for views is willing to do a lot more that you are not. And unfortunately, in this arena of the most brutal guy wins, and the Republicans
Starting point is 00:58:04 are suit wearing squares who say, hold on there, let's not fight, and he's staring at you all shocking his dog over and over again. I don't think the most brutal guy wins in this. I think the most brutal guy might win the ticket and then get killed by the Deep State immediately.
Starting point is 00:58:20 So I don't think it's the most brutal guy. They're aligned with him. The other thing is he's getting celebrated every step of the way. He was at the Vanity Fair Party. He's getting this glamorous cover shoots and GQ. I mean, yes, he is willing to do shocking crazy things,
Starting point is 00:58:36 but the culture is wholeheartedly embracing. Because they appreciate someone who's willing to overtly say what they all believe and are afraid to do it. That's why they all agree with him. It's not that they don't agree. They like that he electrocutes his dog. And I'm not saying that to be cute.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Many people attacked him and criticized him for doing so. But his fans like that he does that stuff. You got a shock collar on his dog. Is that what it was? And it malfunctioned or something? Malfunction. Is he just holding the button down and the dog was starting to reading? There are montages of him muting his microphone and then and then clicking a
Starting point is 00:59:12 and the dog. Oh, yeah, and threatening his dog? Look, I'm the guy who... He wants the dog as an aesthetic on his show. He even has like a little thing, a little cartoon of his dog that pops up. And so one day, apparently what happened, this is all alleged, I guess.
Starting point is 00:59:27 He forgot to mute his microphone. And when he electrocated the dog, it yelped and then jolted. And then people noticed he has the remote for a shot collar. He then claimed it was a vibrating collar instead. And you could see the back of it where there used to be prongs taped over. all of the stuff. The point is this.
Starting point is 00:59:44 You get a guy like Donald Trump and people cheer for him. Why? He mocked a journalist who got body slammed and Trump supporters liked it. Because finally, you had in Trump someone was willing to give the middle finger to these other people. But unfortunately, Trump's the only guy. I think we need a mathematician now. And not an overt, angry, loud, boisterous maniac. We need like a dude that can pull some numbers behind the scenes and destroy. a virus, computer virus. What does that mean?
Starting point is 01:00:13 We have one. Like, you need mathematicians to understand compound inflation and that have a plan to reduce our fuel costs or something. All right, I got, let me, let me just ask you a question, Ian. So, all right, there's a big guy electrocuting his dog over and over again. Are you suggesting that the mathematician will figure out a mathematical formula to make him stop? No, no, I think there's just an ideal, a far superior candidate to running the system than a guy who shocks his dog. So you've got one party of dog electrocutors, and you're saying the mathematicians will stop them from brutalizing people, committing terror attacks, smashing windows, burning cities down, shooting people, letting criminals out of jail. A mathematician's going to do that? I didn't say that.
Starting point is 01:00:54 I'm sorry. I want, I want, I want a two, I want a 40,000-year-old highbrow Ridge Neanderthal just like bashing a club on the ground. I want him to be president. You want to go to punch through a window? So he's sitting there. guy in January 6th with the Shaman? The shaman. You want the shaman? No, the shaman's not a violent guy.
Starting point is 01:01:15 He's like a spiritual guy. No, I want a guy with a big club sitting there just like with his underbite. And when he's left, he walks up and goes, I think communism, don't. And to some degree, we have that with President Trump. I mean, that's why we like him so much. He's willing to fight. And there's a few of us like that, not enough. But, well,
Starting point is 01:01:33 I, I, the SPLC stuff is, is, I'll say this, USAID getting dismantled. was a grand slam. The SPLC, I give that it's a double. It's really good. I'm happy it happened. It's not as big as USAID, but they're both really good things in the right direction. I'm trying to diminish it. I'm saying USAID was like a nuclear bomb against the deep state. As of right now, we see this one thing with the SPLC, which is good, but I don't think they're doing enough. They're going to lose the midterms. Democrats are going to put people in prison. And you look at what they're doing in Virginia.
Starting point is 01:02:07 they're going to do that. They get any modicum of power back in the federal government. It's over. James Carville, who was the guy behind Bill Clinton, one of the major Democratic consultants out there, has said he's been very clear. Here's what we should do if we win. They're going to make D.C. estate. They're going to make Puerto Rico a state.
Starting point is 01:02:26 They're going to pack the Supreme Court with a bunch of new people. They're very clear of what they will do if they will take over. Democrats believe that when they win elections of consequences and when we, We win, we must do bipartisanship. That's how it works. It's a one-way street. And what I always say is I don't make the rules. I fight by theirs.
Starting point is 01:02:47 He also said, though, he also said, don't run on this, Democrats, but this is what we're going to do. It's just like the- Just like the governor of Virginia. I'm a moderate. I'm a moderate. She's a liar. You do make the rules.
Starting point is 01:03:01 You're the guy that does it. No, I don't make the rules of the fight. I'm one of 435 people. And I am in the fight. I'm glad to be there. But there aren't a lot of us that are willing to fight. I'm the newest member of the Freedom Caucus. We're willing to fight.
Starting point is 01:03:15 There's a lot of people that are, and by them, on both sides that just want to get reelected, I'm okay going home. What I'm not okay with is letting the country collapse. That's what I'm not okay with. I will say, I mean, Republicans are in a tough spot, obviously, but Democrats are not in a good spot. They're not polling well either. And I do think even with this whole gerrymandering, I mean, maybe it's too obtuse for
Starting point is 01:03:37 the average person to understand abstruse. But we're seeing that when Democrats get power, they try and disenfranchise everyone, of course. Because they hate democracy. And so that's of course why Trump got elected is because people saw how crazy the Democrats went. Are we seeing
Starting point is 01:03:53 that in little pieces with Mamdani where the average person is kind of recognizing and waking up to see maybe Republicans aren't great, but the alternative is chaos. Let me let's get into the foreign policy stuff especially with this we have we have a couple stories and it's plenty up let's pull up the uh lebanon ceasefire i thought
Starting point is 01:04:12 i had it pulled up big news big news from cnbc trump says israel lebanon ceasefire extended by three weeks of course we also have the i believe was what the interdiction of the uh of a vessel trying to break the blockade in the strait of humus right now a big component of politics is specifically about the war with iran and u.s involvement with israel And so bring this up, my question for you with Tucker and Megan Kelly and Kandes Owens and many formerly big Trump supporters breaking from Trump on principally the issue of Iran, but also the issue of our alliance and support for Israel. You have right now the left and elements of the right unified in just hating Israel. I don't know how the Republican Party, to be fair, the Democrats have also are also divided on this as well. while the older Democrats are much, much more pro-Israel. But with Trump losing support for this
Starting point is 01:05:10 reason, how do Republicans actually even win with that sentiment in play? Well, I think it's not that they're unified and hating Israel. I think it's that they're unified and hating Jews. And Israel is just the vehicle that they use to do that. Look, Israel is the best ally that we have. Israel's the only country that is out there that doesn't ask us to fight their wars for them. I found it very amusing. Rahm Emanuel said, we need to treat Israel the same. the same way we treat our allies in Western Europe. We've got bases with tens of thousands of soldiers in the UK and in Germany and Spain and all these other, in France and all these countries.
Starting point is 01:05:45 We don't have a base. There's a couple hundred American soldiers in Israel that are just there to kind of coordinate things. Do you think that we should continue funding, providing funding to Israel every year? We provide. So interestingly, we provide about $3.5 billion a year to Israel. But we actually don't give Israel any money. That's one of the big misnomer.
Starting point is 01:06:02 What we do is we give Israel $3.5 billion of, of American-made military equipment. So we give them stuff that makes American jobs, and we give it to them. It's been estimated that what Israel gives us in return for that is worth 10 times as much. What do we get? We get intelligence gathering.
Starting point is 01:06:21 What? I said hummus? Their hummus is good. Their hummus is good. But we get intelligence gathering. So President Trump wants to build the Golden Dome. Where do you think that the technology for the Golden Dome comes from? Yeah, they do a lot of...
Starting point is 01:06:32 The other thing is Israel is the beta test site, because they're always in a war. They're the beta test site for so many of our weapons. So we give them to them and then their soldiers use them. It's estimated for every dollar we give them, we don't give them any. Every dollar of our equipment, we get 10 back now. Are they purchasing it then? So we buy the three and a, when they say three point five,
Starting point is 01:06:54 we buy three and a half billion dollars of our stuff from American military companies. And then we give it to them. We don't give them any. There's no check. I'm just curious. I mean, they obviously have a lot of money. it seems like so much could be solved if they just paid. And by the way, Bibi Netanyahu himself has said over time in the next few years,
Starting point is 01:07:12 Israel wants to get to get rid of it. And by the way, the big loser when they do that is going to be America. So it will reduce our ability to influence what they do. Yes, they want to get rid of it as well. Let me ask you, in your perspective, what is the reason why so many people right now have turned and have become anti-Israel? I think there's a couple reasons. I think on the left, there's an obsession.
Starting point is 01:07:34 with the underdog. So if you're if you're more in worse shape, you must therefore be good. It's part of the obsession with illegal immigrants. And so people look at Israel as this strong, successful country and all these poor, sorry people around it. So therefore they must be good and Israel must be bad. That's number one. I think number two, I think that unfortunately when something goes wrong in people's lives, they look for someone to blame. You know, if I, If I weigh a little bit too much, it's not my fault. It must be because the restaurant feeds me too much. And I think Jews are an easy target if your life isn't good.
Starting point is 01:08:09 I think it's been that way for thousands of years. I call it Israel derangement syndrome. Yep. And I think the third reason, there is a ton of foreign money that is out there funding this sort of stuff. And by the way, China and Russia fund a lot of this. You know why? They don't care about Israel. they don't care about any of this fight.
Starting point is 01:08:31 They're trying to make America tear itself apart from within. And they have found this is an issue that can really divide Americans and we can beat each other up over. So I've interviewed a handful of people who have what I describe as Israel derangement syndrome. Doesn't make any sense. The way I describe it is criticizing Israel is always allowed. Of course it is. But legitimate criticisms of any government, military operations. But there are people who will tell you that in one instance on this show, someone was asked about the fentanyl crisis in West.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Virginia, within 20 seconds, the guest turned it into it's Israel's fault. And I'm like, you got to stop, okay? Like, the problem of opiates may come from China, but when we're talking about heroin abuse in West Virginia, we're talking about jobs, the white working class being left behind, the loss of the coal mines and things like this. And all of a sudden you're talking about how it's Israel who did it all. That's derangement. That being said, I wonder, so we have this article from the free press. Israel has an extremism problem. Besides the moral failure, Israel's institutional failure to crack down on violent settlers is damaging its ability to fight for its survival. And the free press, notably, I mean, Barry Weiss is an avowed and proud Zionist, and even her publication points out that there's an extremist settler problem in the West Bank.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Do you think that, like, how do we parse through this? I agree with you. There's foreign funding, promoting individuals who say the stupidest things about Israel. But then there are stories like this where my libertarian friends are not coming. to me and saying stupid conspiracy nonsense, they're saying things like this. This is a legitimate issue that people should have concerns about. But the most pernicious form of anti-Semitism is when every other country does it, it doesn't bother you. But when Israel does it, you lose your mind. So there is a place not far from this in Syria called Sueda, which most people haven't heard of. And the people who live there are Druze. They're not Jews. They're not Muslim.
Starting point is 01:10:27 It's their own religion. And the Muslims in Syria went in and just killed them all, just killed everyone. And it's not talked about. No one cares about it. No one worries about it. Why? Because it's not Israel. So what the issue is, that's absolutely an issue.
Starting point is 01:10:47 And people should talk about it. But they should talk about all of the other bad things that happen around the world. I agree. And that, so this is true. But when people obsess about this, to the exclusion of all of the others, that is the derangement. No one cares about Christians being slaughtered in Africa right now. And I would also, I would say it's really interesting. There was that image that was all over the internet about a week ago where IDF soldier had removed, chopped a cruise, which is horrible, unacceptable.
Starting point is 01:11:20 But of course, that image went viral overnight. Well, no one cares about the fact that in Europe. now. There's an attempt to basically undermine Christian iconography by a lot of immigrants there. No one cares about that, but this image of the IDF soldier going after the crucifix went viral. Of course, disgusting. And Israel had the proper response. They condemned it. I don't know what's happened to that soldier. They've punished him. They've erected in its stead a new beautiful statue. So again, horrible. And they did address it. They made it right. But that hasn't gotten the same amount of coverage. And again, no one cares about all of the other horrible things. The prime minister of
Starting point is 01:12:01 Israel, the prime minister of Israel apologized for one of his soldiers that he didn't do it. One of his soldiers doing something terrible. The head of the country felt the obligation to apologize because it is unbelievable. But in Turkey, the Hagia Sophia, one of the most extraordinary churches of Western civilization, they destroy it as a Christian site. and turn it into a mosque and nobody cares. One thing that I brought up that really bothers me. So we had a guest in the show a little while ago who said, because like the issue of Ukraine comes up.
Starting point is 01:12:38 And then, you know, she makes this thing of like, well, you know, Zelensky's Jewish. And I'm like, yeah, and she's like, well, they, you know, they put him in there. And I'm like, why? And she said because Netanyahu wants his corridor to Ukraine, which is just like something made up on the spot. Because I've been tracking.
Starting point is 01:12:53 I love when people use they. You're like, who's the they? It was they, though. Who's they? So the thing about this is that if you are, I would describe as retarded and you have no idea what you're talking about and you go online and someone tells you the Jews did everything, you will just make things up to fill in the blanks for what you don't understand. The reason why the Ukraine War exists largely has to do with the Qatar Turkey Pipeline,
Starting point is 01:13:15 Gas, Prom, natural gas into Europe. It is a big multi-decade long issue. You know, Biden, Hunter Biden's on the board of Burisma. you've got the prosecution of Michael Zelchewski. All of this, not at all, related to Israel. No. But they make it about Israel. And then I point out this, we've given more to Ukraine in three years than Israel in 50.
Starting point is 01:13:36 By all means, you can tell me that we shouldn't give Israel any money or military aid through spending, that we should not be allowed with them. I will listen to all of these arguments on foreign policy. But when I ask you about the same thing is true for Ukraine, and you're like, I don't know, I'm like, okay, I'm not going to accuse a person who has legitimate criticisms of Israel, of Israel derangement syndrome. if you don't know about Ukraine, I just say, take a look into it. Because we've given them more money. Their president has come to our Congress. They've all waived the Ukrainian flag in our land. People in this country, liberals all over the country are flying the Ukrainian flag.
Starting point is 01:14:09 And I look at that very similarly. We give them insane amounts of money. They lobby on behalf of a foreign president. My question only is, why is there only one place you care about? Why not Burma? And, you know, or the Uighur Muslims or Sudan. You've identified, again, that most pernicious form of anti-Semitism. When people say if you criticize Israel, it is anti-Semitic, it's not.
Starting point is 01:14:35 It's when you only criticize Israel. That's what makes it anti-Semitic. You've nailed it. I would layer that a little bit more. If you only criticized Israel, I would just simply ask, is there a reason why you think Israel bears more focus than any other country? You're allowed to have response to that. I know that, you know, Dave Smith, for instance, would say,
Starting point is 01:14:53 say, yeah, here's why I think that. I say, okay, if you can give me a legitimate reason, if you can say I understand what China is doing, yes, maybe we could focus more on it. I would say the derangement is when people make things up like Netanyahu installed Zelensky to build a corridor. I'm like, now you've lost your mind. And what I find most offensive about that is it would take you maybe 30 minutes. I mean, these days with GROC, you could just type it in. And it'll give you a whole breakdown of the past 20 years. I'll give the cliff notes on how we were trying to build the natural gas pipeline. Syria wouldn't let us.
Starting point is 01:15:24 The United States government cited against the Assad regime, which put us in conflict with Russia. Then Hillary Clinton said we want to know flies on over Syria. All of this related to energy and not Israel. So when you ignore all of the past 20 years of foreign policy that we've been talking about and tracking and our elections, and then go, I don't know, the Jews did it. I'm just like, okay, you are deranged.
Starting point is 01:15:47 If you say, honestly, I don't know. I got no problem. someone comes to me and says, I see these stories about children being blown up in Gaza. I see these civilian sites being targeted. I'm not a fan of that. I don't my money funding it. I say, okay. I mean, there's not, sure, that's an opinion.
Starting point is 01:16:01 Except a lot of, most of that's not happening. Civilian sites aren't targeted. Well, I think the issue is that there's no distinction between civilian and military and Gaza because of the way Hamas operates. And, but the fault of that is on Hamas. You blame the people who misuse.
Starting point is 01:16:19 So, by the way, under the laws of war, when you use human shields and the human shields die, it is not the fault of the person who kills the human shields. It's the fault of the person who used them. Isn't this the leftist thing, though? The left likes to go to these protests, start a fight with a cop, and then only film the reaction of the cop and say the cop's beating innocent protesters. So when you have Hamas putting missile sites in schools and hospitals, do we, like, you know what I really, really can't stand about that?
Starting point is 01:16:49 the Israel-Palesean conflict is that the obsession that people have over it. And for Americans, young, liberal left or right, who have no reason to be so fervent about a foreign conflict like this. Because I've tracked this. I've been to many of these countries. I've been to 38 different countries tracking conflicts of unrest. And they seem to have strong opinions. I don't understand why. So let me just finish this point. Israel is in a conflict with Hamas. The idea of them, they are fighting. And I go, that's a war. One side has more power than the other. So if Hamas fires missiles, Israel's going to crush them. Hamas uses civilian sites to store weapons, launch weapons, and do command operations. Israel says, okay, we're not going to allow this. According to Israel,
Starting point is 01:17:36 they'll put out messages saying, if to evacuate, we're going to blow it up right now. When I look at all of the facts of the matter, I say, I don't have any answers for any of you people. I hear the argument from one side, I hear from the other. Man, maybe the United States shouldn't be involved in whatever is going on there. But then I have people who come to me and they're just like, no, Israel's lying about everything. They're wrong about everything. And I'm like, why have you chosen a side in a foreign conflict you're not involved in? Because they're fighting the war with American gifted weapon. And that's why I said, if you were to come to me and say, we should cut off military support to Israel. I say, okay, that's an opinion, right? That makes sense to me. You say, I don't
Starting point is 01:18:15 want to be involved in this. I say, sure, you can make a counter argument. I understand these opinions exist. What I'm saying is it doesn't make sense for someone to be like, Israel is evil, they want a corridor to Ukraine, they control our government, like all of this stuff that's just not real. It's making false claims as silly. It diminishes your argument. But it is true that Israelis are fighting wars with American weapons as gifts. So people in America have a right to be up their butt about what they're doing. But people should also understand what the war is about. The root of Christianity all took place where Israel is, right? That's where Jesus was born.
Starting point is 01:18:52 That's where he lived. It's where he died. And when I went to Israel with my colleagues last August, they got to visit two sets of places. They got to visit the Christian holy sites that were run by Israel. And then they went to Bethlehem. I didn't join them when they went to Bethlehem. It was on Shabbat. I wasn't going to go on a bus tour on Shabbat.
Starting point is 01:19:10 But when they came back from Bethlehem, I asked them, what was it like to go to the birthplace of Jesus? You know what they told me? It had nothing to do with the birthplace of Jesus. They said, I can't believe how bad it was kept versus the Christian sites that I visited that were controlled by the Jews. Bethlehem used to be 90% Christian. Now it's 10%. In Israel, the Christian population is growing. Christians are free. You'll hear this crazy nonsense from these wackos like Tucker. But you know what drives the economy of Israel when there's not a war going on? It's Christian tourism because Christians want to come to Israel to see their holy sites and they're preserved and they're welcome to be there. It is not just Israel at stake for Israel. It's not just Israel's
Starting point is 01:19:52 stake for Jews. It is Israel's stake to protect what it means to be Christian, the holiest sites in your religion as well. There's something funny in like, there's a viral post going around about Israel. I think Tel Aviv's having a big pride event. Yeah. And it's just like the whole thing is ironic and paradoxical, I guess, where every leftist in the United States basically hates Israel, You know. It's a pretty liberal place socially. I know, yeah. It's just the whole thing is because they're obsessed. They're obsessed with this idea of victims are good. If you're poor, you must be the rich or bad, the poor are good. I got a question. I've been so oppressed. And that's the other reason. People ask me this all the time. The reason the left hates Jews right now
Starting point is 01:20:38 is because no group of people's been treated worse in the history of the world. Thousands of of years. And Jews don't wait around for the government to save us. The entire philosophy of the left is if your life stinks, the government's your only answer for it to be better. And I have news for you. And I had a tough childhood and I came home having gotten my butt kicked by someone. My grandmother would always tell me, you don't wait around, you don't make excuses. You get yourself off and you get back up. So I have a question for you. Right. So I keep hearing about how the biggest podcasts in the world right now are those that are critical of Israel. And the people that Trump has been criticizing these prominent podcasters all have some of the top spots.
Starting point is 01:21:17 And they're all very critical of Israel. Some of them discuss what they call greater Israel and Jewish supremacy. And I guess my issue is, why haven't the Jews, considering that they control all media? Yeah, why are they allowing that to happen? It's a great question. And, you know, it has a lot to do with numbers. You know, there are fewer Jews in the world than there are people who live in Beijing, China. It's only 15 million Jews.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Yeah. There's one point. There's 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. So if you measure your audience based on number of people, do you think you're going to get a bigger audience if you target Jews or if you don't target Jews? There aren't that many of us. And I think that that's the biggest issue. There's a small number. This one, the guest we had on, I'm not going to say her name or whatever, but people can look her up. She said that I was evil for protecting an evil group of people that were controlling everything. And I'm just sitting here being like, we do a really bad job if we're trying to control everything. I mean, it's really bad. You only just got paramounts. You, like, you finally have one media outlet and you bought TikTok and, and, you know, because Jews are all one big conglomerate. But, you know, with the Ellison's buying TikTok and CBS, the argument from any of these people is that pro-Israel and Zionists are buying media to stop the spread of anti-Zionist messaging. I thought I already owned it all. That's the point. I'm like, right, they're doing it because they didn't control it already. It's different people that
Starting point is 01:22:38 you're complaining about. I just, guys, special interest exists. Conspiracies are all over the place. There's Islamic special interest groups that fund and lobby into these things. Israel does these things too. You're allowed to criticize any government you want. It's the conspiracy insanity that drives me insane. Yeah, like the Third Temple. Is that real? Does the Lacud actually want to bring about World War III to bring back Christ? Well, there are some people who want to build a Third Temple. And I will tell you how they look at it. Jerusalem's never mentioned in the Quran. It's never mentioned one time.
Starting point is 01:23:13 Yet somehow at some point along the way, they decided that exactly where the Jewish temple was must have been where Mohammed died. It's never mentioned in the Quran. But somehow long after he was gone, that must be the place. And so they wanted to build a mosque right over the place that's the holiest place in the Jewish religion. It's the place where it is believed. that Abraham was going to sacrifice Isaac. That happens to be the same place coincidentally
Starting point is 01:23:40 that Muhammad ascended to heaven. So there are some people who say, look, we should get rid of that and we should build the third temple. But here's what Israel's done. Since 1968, Israel has controlled the third holiest place in the Muslim religion, the dome of the rock, right there.
Starting point is 01:23:57 And since 1968, Israel hasn't blown it up. They haven't destroyed it. They haven't even had Jews be in charge of the temple now. They let people from Jordan, who they took it from, be in charge. I went to the top. I went to the Temple Mount when I was in Israel a couple of years ago, and it's fascinating. Muslims can go to the holiest site in Judaism, the third holiest site in Islam, 24 hours a day,
Starting point is 01:24:23 seven days a week, there's eight or nine ways they can get in. Non-Muslims can only go a few days a week. At certain times, there's only one entrance. And when you go in that entrance, they put you into one of two groups. if you look Jewish or if you don't look Jewish. By the way, we're told that Israel is all about apartheid. This is real apartheid. Well, when I went, I tried not to look Jewish.
Starting point is 01:24:44 I looked as American as I could. You know why? I went with my younger son. We went up there. If you don't look Jewish, you can go anywhere you want. You can walk around. You can go anywhere you want. You can't go in the dome of the rock.
Starting point is 01:24:55 You can't go in the Alaksa Mosque, but you can walk around and look at anything you want. But if you look Jewish, you have to be in a guided group that walks in a certain roots, straight, left, right, with police surrounding you. Why are the police surrounding them? It's not for their own protection. The police are surrounding them filming to make sure they don't pray. To make sure Jews don't pray in the holiest place in their religion. That's crazy. That's how it works. That's apartheid, but it's Muslim apartheid. Israel's actually forcing
Starting point is 01:25:28 apartheid on Jews. Muslims 24 hours a day, seven days a week, everybody else only certain times. and if you look Jewish, you're going to get arrested if you try to pray. What I would say is this, what kind of religion can't share? I have been to plenty of Christian weddings and ceremonies in my life. Never felt uncomfortable being there. I had Christians come to my bar mitzvah and my kids bar mitzvah. All good. We can all live and we largely share the same beliefs.
Starting point is 01:25:56 But I have to be marched around if I look like a Jew in the holiest place in my religion. And Israel allows that. That is the Jewish state of Israel's decision, not only to not build a third temple, but to stop Jews from praying in the holiest place in their religion. Is there a third temple, like a faction of people that are willing to? Because we've been talking about the end times philosophies and like a great war that will coalesce where Jesus comes back and destroys, you know, the aberrant Jews that have strayed or whatever.
Starting point is 01:26:27 And then, but like, would people bring that on themselves? Are people in government crazy enough to start World War? It's not government people who want that, but there are, there are certainly are people who want to build, there are certainly people who want to build a third temple. It's a big question. I know you don't have the answer to that question. I'm not, I'm not Israeli. I never went to Israel. It's one of the funny things about being me. I always get accused of being a dual citizen. I'd never even been to Israel until I was in my 30s. And none of my family is actually from there. But, you know, I've been there a lot, actually, mostly since I got elected because of all of the work that I've done, really to try to make America safe for Jews. Because
Starting point is 01:27:02 I will tell you this, the pernicious threat of anti-Semitism. Antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine. It only starts with the Jews. It doesn't end with the Jews. Every society in recorded history that has become anti-Semitic has ultimately collapsed. And it's not because the Jews did it. It's because it's a brain rot. It's what Tim's talking about. Why this obsession?
Starting point is 01:27:24 By the way, they believe all kinds of other crazy things. None of it makes any sense. And so, yeah, go ahead. No, go ahead. That's just why it was so crazy after October 7th. It was like October 7th, giant massacre, horror, teenagers, children, women murdered. And then the next day. It wasn't the next day. It was that day. Was it that day in New York? I'll never, I'll never forget. There was like marching around people ripping down American flags,
Starting point is 01:27:48 putting up Palestinian flags, and being so excited that there was a massacre. And then maybe then October 8th, we were hearing about Islamophobia. And when you think about what happened after 9-11, right? We had 9-11. And then it was so shortly after 9-11 that everyone was like, don't say anything bad about the terrorists or you're Islamophobic. And it's like, you guys, they used our citizens as bombs and took our buildings down. And now you want to, you know, complain about Islamophobia, which is really a term that was invented essentially by the Ayatollah Khomeini in the 70s in order to make, yeah, in order to make people feel bad about saying anything bad about Islam.
Starting point is 01:28:29 Yeah, it's interesting. It was that day. It's one of the things that radicalized me on this. I remember finding out about October 7th. I was at a crew regatta for one of my sons. I'm hearing about it. learning about on my phone. I get home that night and I see that, and you can look it up. I see there's a protest, not in New York City, in Tampa, Florida, in my state, a protest of
Starting point is 01:28:49 hundreds, I don't know if it's a thousand, but hundreds of mainstream Muslims. They were out and they were celebrating. They were happy about it. The terrorists were still killing people and they were celebrating. And the image I'll never forget is watching people that were holding up their phones, showing people the videos. Remember, because the Hamas terrorists not only did what they did, They broadcast it live for people to see. And they were celebrating it. By the way, the reason it happened so fast is that was part of the plan. The plan was to attack.
Starting point is 01:29:19 What I've learned doing what I do is there's the physical attack and then there's the PR attack and it happens at the same time. But look, this is a threat to America. If the Republican Party goes down the same path that the Democratic Party goes down, our civilization will collapse. Look at this brain rot. Hassan Piker, it's not just about. the Jews. It's about you can steal and you can murder and you can do all this other crazy stuff.
Starting point is 01:29:43 It is the gateway drug to destruction. And that's what we're up against. I do think all of the protesting too that you've touched on. I mean, there's some reporting, but what we know from the past is in the 70s, the Vietnam protest, none of these protests are organic. None of them. At all. Even the Soviets with a very small amount of money can fund this sentiment and then it just snowballs because then the news outlets are covering all of these. And then people join in. But it initially is not organic. And you can sew so much discontent with a few million dollars that's really targeted.
Starting point is 01:30:18 We're seeing we know that the CCP has been funding some of these protest efforts. And again, you put in a very tiny amount of money and you can completely change public opinion. The fact, even back in January, all of the protest against ICE in Minneapolis, the fact that people are able to get signs. They're all the same. The same. The same signs. It's really outrageous. But it works. And the fact now that we basically take a step back with all of the immigration policy,
Starting point is 01:30:49 that's a direct result of basically the CCP spending a few million bucks on these protests that now we've seen sentiment completely changed around that issue. Well, then you find out about Unite the Right and the SPLC. Yeah, which makes me think that there is a bunch of anti-Israeli money. Just like the SPLC was doing like, you know, radical white hate groups and they were building them up to make them the enemy. Let me ask you a quick question. How many Muslims in the world are there? I think you said $1.3 billion at the top of the earlier.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Can you, do you know the specific line from the hadith pertaining to what makes the end come? No. You don't. It was in the Hamas charter. Did I read it for you? You sure can. Let's see. what was the
Starting point is 01:31:35 everyone in the chat already knows it let me let me pull it up and I'm going to read it let's see the here we go the hour will not be
Starting point is 01:31:46 established until you fight with the Jews and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say oh Muslim
Starting point is 01:31:52 there is a Jew hiding behind me so kill him that is is that the it's in the Hadith so I ask you
Starting point is 01:32:00 the scene because considering that's one of their religious texts and then how many Jews You said in the greater,
Starting point is 01:32:06 15 million. In the diaspora. There are more Jews than the world. Yes, there are fewer Jews today than there were before the Holocaust. Jews have not even repopulated. Wow. Yeah. So I just want to throw this out there.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Considering the religious drive and the $1.2 billion, do you believe there will be more money in favor of anti-Jew or pro-Jew? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Really? Who's printing the money? Your arithmetic is that difficult, huh? Yeah. 1.2 billion people with.
Starting point is 01:32:35 religious text saying you have to kill Jews and 15 million people who don't want to be killed, but who's religious text. Is there religious text in Judaism that says to kill Muslims? No, but Islam didn't exist when the Jewish religious texts were created. I think there are some quotes, however, from religious leaders that have made comments about it. By the way, no group of people has a monopoly on bad people. Agreed. Right. So, yes. My point is I mean... When was the Hadith written? Because that could be, is that a thousand years old? I don't know. Ancient, when they used to have fights with the Jews and the Arabs would fight each other.
Starting point is 01:33:09 They still do. What do you mean? Not really. It used to be like real, real, real, real bad. It's real, real, real. It's more governments. Tell the people who've been hiding it. What do you think it was back then? That's what Hezbollah is terrorist.
Starting point is 01:33:23 They removed it from their charter on purpose. They removed it from their charter within the past couple of years. And that's not a comment on the existence of the Hadith itself. It's not really that they removed. They removed it in order to appeal to American, you know, to appeal to American progress. If 1.2 billion people donated $1 towards not liking Jews and 15 million people donated $1 towards defending Jews who has more money. Here's the statistic I'll give you.
Starting point is 01:33:54 I can look on X. You know, I can see where my comments come from. Amazingly, 30% of the people who comment on my stuff are not from America. And for every one comment I get from Israel. I get 60 comments from Turkey and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and sometimes, not recently, Iran and other places. There's just a whole lot more of them. But, you know, you talked about Islamophobia and it's a fascinating word.
Starting point is 01:34:19 I talk a lot about it. We have words that describe bad behavior, bad behavior. Racism, bad, right? You're against a race. Sexism, bad. You're against a sex. Anti-Semitism, bad because you're against Jews. Why pick the word Islamophobia?
Starting point is 01:34:34 There's nothing in that word that's, it's not anti-Islam, it's not anti-Muslim. Islamophobia, if you break it down, it's Islamophobia. And it says it's irrational fear. And Islamophobia, the term was created as a sword to silence dissent, to silence questions, because part of Islam is that you can't criticize it. It's blasphemous to do so. They came up with a weapon to stop it. We get more viewers from South Africa than we do from Israel.
Starting point is 01:35:02 Because there aren't that many people in Israel. Well, but I'm just surprised our fifth biggest demo. So 83.4% of our audience is American. Then the- Thuccoors wouldn't be. 3.6 is Canadian. 1.8 is British. 1.5 is Australian.
Starting point is 01:35:19 And then 0.2 is South Africa. And then you have about 0.1 of a bunch of different countries like Norway, Ireland, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand, Sweden. Israel's way to... Israel's at 0.1. You're like a whole U.N. Yeah. Well, I mean,
Starting point is 01:35:34 Not really. My point is that all the other countries, it's, it's, it's, it's a thousand years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of these countries, it's a couple hundred. But nothing significant from any Islamic nation, to be honest. Well, I wish I could say the same. And if I could have Elon do anything, it would be to allow people to have their social media. No, you can do this now. Did you see this? You can region luck. I can re-region? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me pull up, let me pull up, see if we can do. We'll do this in real time. Let's see. Here's a post. I will write, hey, you. you guys, you're American.
Starting point is 01:36:09 We click this and then let's see. Wait, wait, wait, where to go? I got to zoom out because I zoomed in too much. Reit. Ah, I got to make it smaller. I'm zoomed in too much. There you go. Regions.
Starting point is 01:36:20 All right. Only North America. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I can't get rid of Canadians. I can't get rid of the Canadians. You can't. You can't.
Starting point is 01:36:29 It's impossible. Canadians. They're going to be part of America soon enough. If you first date. Shout out to Canada. Actually, I think Alberta were not allowed to lead. They do want us to secede. But think about how our map would look.
Starting point is 01:36:40 You have this nice look and then you have this big thumb that stuck up. That straight line is really enticed. Yeah, so you can region like it now. You can. Really? Yeah, you can just say, get out of here. Sorry, Pakistan. Bad news.
Starting point is 01:36:53 Let's see if we go by regions. That's actually really fun. Yeah, so you can just, you can be like, hey, look, all of these, Australasia, you're fine, Africa. you know, Southeast Asia, you're good, South Asia, but none of the Central or West Asia. We don't need any of that.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Yeah. You know, yeah, you can just lock by region now. That is fascinating. All right. I hope my team's listening. A Candace post here. It was? Is she just gone?
Starting point is 01:37:22 Oh, you mean this one that just popped up? I mean, this is a retweet. We're not, we didn't pull this up on the show for any particular reason. It just says, Fuentes didn't feel good, but went to Rome
Starting point is 01:37:30 and Candice Magillifred to tell her cult that she was overseas in the same day. Is she done, though? Well, actually, you know, maybe we should pull this up because I think it's funny. I'll just use these. So Candice Owens posted that she's out of town, and the conspiracy theory going around is that on the same day, Fentes and Candice have traveled, and it's just after the SPLC was caught funneling money to, you know, white supremacy or whatever.
Starting point is 01:37:57 So the theory that people are retweeting and posting, which I do not agree with, is that they're both receiving money from the SPLC, or, or from like groups to create the specter. Now, the interesting thing is, actually funding prominent podcasters to attack groups of people, be it, you know, Jew or otherwise, you could then as a nonprofit say like, oh, no, oh, heavens, you have to give us money to fight this. So I understand how many people are posting it.
Starting point is 01:38:25 I don't think it's true, though. Everybody says, like, Fuentes is a Fed or he's funny. I don't think that's true of Nick. Candice, I think, is weird. Nick, I think, is actually just a young guy with, you know, shocking opinions who's at offensive things, and that rallied a lot of people. The reason why I think he's not a Fed or he planned or anything like that is because he's banned from everywhere. Candice, on the other hand, breaks the rules all the time and says things that she shouldn't be allowed to say on any of these platforms, but for some reason is never banned. In fact, she's recommended.
Starting point is 01:38:50 So that just doesn't see. That seems weird to me, not to mention her lawyers work in the same building as federal agents, which she admitted. And somehow, for some reason, Candice, who hates Zionists and says she will never allow. greater Israel to happen, hired the preeminent Zionist lawyer to defend her in court who then went exposed by Laura Lumer dropped off the case, so I don't know what that's about.
Starting point is 01:39:10 It's just weird. Most good lawyers are Jewish, so there's that. But I understand why would Candace hire a preeminent Zionist and while insulting everybody associated with Zionism? She's crazy, so I... But why would a
Starting point is 01:39:26 Zionist take the job? That's a great question. I can't answer, but... Yeah, I don't That's why I think she's fake. Plus, she attacked Nick Shirley, which just screams up. What is a greater Israel? She said she'd never let to happen. What's the theory? It's the one that you brought up yesterday.
Starting point is 01:39:42 Oh, they're trying to set up as like a local governance. There's a theory that is that the funny thing is, Israel's generally been willing to take any land it can get if people will stop fighting it. But there's a, there's a theory that Israel wants to be a lot bigger than it actually is. and, you know, that would go, like, all the way down into Egypt and, like, all the way over to Saudi Arabia. And there's actually, as far as I know, there's no one who actually wants this, but that is the view. I think they would have kept the Sinai Peninsula. Yes. I mean, Israel gave a, the Sinai Peninsula was three times as big as Israel.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Yeah. And they gave it up. And by the way, it worked. There was a time in which Israel said, we will trade land for peace. The entire story of Gaza is that where Israel left Gaza and said, here you go, Gaza and Arabs. It's all yours. We're not only going to make every Jewish. person who lives here leave, talk about ethnic cleansing. Israel ethnically cleansed Gaza,
Starting point is 01:40:33 not of Arabs, of Jews. We're going to take them all. And then we're going to dig up every dead body of a Jewish person. This was like 2005. 2005. We're going to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Jews. We're going to leave. Take every Jew out, take every dead Jew out, and give it to you, we're gone, live long and prosper. And they left them with all of this stuff to build an amazing country out of. And then there was masses of humanitarian aid. They had greenhouses. They had all of this stuff that they could have turned it into an amazing place. But instead, nope, not enough.
Starting point is 01:41:04 So that's the opposite. That's the opposite. That's the opposite of greater Israel. That would be lesser Israel. Well, I heard that they, this is the theory is that they intentionally took their Israelis out of the area so that they could say, no more two-state solution. It's impossible. Now we have a group that we can destroy.
Starting point is 01:41:20 They made a second state. They said, here you go. It's your state. We're gone. And by the way, just so you know, a lot of the Jews who left God, They didn't want to leave. It was a very traumatic thing. The Jews who actually lived in Gaza were forcibly removed by the government. They didn't want to go. I have a question for you, Ian. What do you think would happen? And just we'll let Ian answer. I want some question for him. Because I want to ask you afterwards. Okay. What do you think would happen if the wall around the Gaza Strip was completely removed and Israel granted free motion to all of all of the people in Gaza to the rest of Israel?
Starting point is 01:41:55 it would be chaos, madness. You'd have people running around, killing people and attacking people. It'd be crazy. Would you agree with that? Yeah, we saw that on October 7th. They cut holes in that wall and that's, and that they flew over that wall. That's exactly what happened. If they were at peace, I don't think that would happen, but right now.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Has there ever been a circumstance in the history since Israel left, like in the past 20 years? Do you believe there was a point at which they could have removed those walls and it would not have resulted in that? I didn't follow it enough to be, I don't know. I haven't followed it year by year. Is there a point in the past 20 years where Israel took down the walls around Gaza and said free movement across all of the land? Do you think there was a point at which that would not have resulted in murder? No, no. And in fact, you know, Bill Clinton talks about the fact that he cut a peace deal that basically gave them everything they wanted.
Starting point is 01:42:44 He even gave them East Jerusalem. And when it came time to actually do the deal, they said no, because they don't, they only want a second state, two state solution on a path to a one state solution. Well, it's like the people who say, no, no, no, we don't want to give amnesty to all the illegal immigrants. We just want to give them a legal path to be here because we know a few years from now, someone will let them become citizens. I'm going to put it like this. Same thing. You know, Ian, I, I'm ambivalent, right? People ask me like, what do you think about Israel? Ambivalence. It's, I think of it the same way. I think of the Uighur Muslims. Like, it's a thing's happening in the world. I think it's bad, of course. I don't like the war in the conflict.
Starting point is 01:43:21 I think of Burma. And maybe if, you know, people want to argue we should. not be providing military aid. I'd be fine with it. But my point is, there is a war going on, and the left says from the river to the sea. And you know that means? Yeah, they want to wipe out, they want to erase the borders of the Israeli country and replace it. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. It means that there will not be in Israel. It will be only a Palestine. So what happens to the existence of the current state of Israel? So the point is simply this. If people in the United States on the left are going around chanting that. They're, okay, you want to wipe out Israel. Then they go, no, no. What do you mean? No, you're saying
Starting point is 01:44:02 from the river to the sea, you're talking about the land that you want to take. It's a war. So the point is this. Israel is up against people who are ideologically saying, we want to take this over. And I'm being light when I say that. Because the more extreme version of the interpretation is they want to kill all, they want to wipe out the Jews who live in this area and turn it into Palestine. I don't understand. And I can say this as looking from the, outside of a foreign policy issue that I see no different from any other foreign policy issue, when you have people advocating from the river to the sea, what is the opposition to that's supposed to do? Open the doors and let them come and just do whatever they want? Like,
Starting point is 01:44:37 if people say, we will kill Americans, should we open the border and let those people come in? No. That's what we are doing. Exactly. We shouldn't. We shouldn't. Aham Najad, the old Iranian PM, said, we want to wipe Israel off the map. And then, so in the media, they were like, he wants to kill and destroy everyone in Israel. He's like, no, no, no, the borders need to be erased and it needs to come back to pre-1947. That was what he was saying. Sure. But the terms were taken and translated and made to seem like he wanted to obliterate all of Israel.
Starting point is 01:45:05 But even if you look at it, if you look at 48, though, if you look at 48, so, you know, Israel was basically created in 48. And at that time, all of the other, all of the other Arab nations kicked out about a million Jews in a row. Iraq, Iran, all over the place. And they were like, you can't live here anymore. And those Jews were like, but our families have lived here for hundreds, thousands of years, whatever. And they were like, that's it, you're done. So all of those Jews were kicked out. And Israel, the brand new nation had to absorb all of those people who had absolutely nowhere to go. So anytime you hear like this whole thing, like Palestinian, my great grandma was kicked out and now I'm a refugees because for some reason, the UN has decided that even if you are the great, great grandchild of a refugee, you are somehow still a
Starting point is 01:45:50 refugee. All of those people and their keys that they still say that they have to their like old Palestinian homes or whatever that were in Israel, like that that million, that group of a million Jews has that same thing all over the Middle East. The history of the world is people being kicked out and being refugees and moving somewhere else and creating a new life. I don't have a claim to the land that my family lived in in England 300. Like it's time to go back. With your life. Let's go take those castles. Half the people, everyone always focus on Israel and they say, oh, it's all these Eastern Europeans. More than half the people who live in Israel are effectively Jewish refugees from Morocco or Iran or Iraq.
Starting point is 01:46:32 They were Jews that lived all over and they all had to leave and go to Israel. We're going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats. So smash the like button to share the show with everyone you know. The uncensored portion of the show will be coming up at 10 p.m. You don't want to miss it. That'll be at rumble.com slash Timcast. IRL. We got this from NNNY. He says, good ad read, Tim.
Starting point is 01:46:48 question, why didn't you suggest the phrase hose mad seems obvious? I don't know, maybe they didn't want to go that route. Maybe they're not trying to target, you know, the manosphere or whatever people are calling. I thought pocket hose was kind of close. Yeah. Angry marsupial, I can't read this. I can save it for the after show, however. Super Pooper says believing in God is fake and gay. If you believe in God, you shouldn't be able to vote. God is real. You are incorrect. Yes. That would be an interesting thing to try and implement. Yeah. Maybe we can't pass the Save Act, but maybe we can pass whatever that is.
Starting point is 01:47:22 They would vote for that. Yeah. I think we finally found some way to monitor voting. Atheist Amnesty or something. Omega Rosetsu says Hassan Piker really needs to rethink his position because if someone robs him, he is rich. Therefore, he stole from someone else to get his riches. He should not have an issue with this.
Starting point is 01:47:38 That's correct. That's the point that Douglas Murray made about trying to steal, asking if he can steal the book in defensive living. And they're like, no. I almost want to go and steal it. See what happens. Find a leftist bookstore and just take it. And then be like, yo man, poor people have a right to read too, you know.
Starting point is 01:47:56 You're oppressing me by withholding information. All right, let's see. Jay Dirtbiker says they hate us because they ain't us. That's right. Metho says Somalia doesn't have family trees. They have family bushes. Yikes. All right.
Starting point is 01:48:15 Angry marshalerbill says, Dear Tim, Hassan is literally inbred. he's not smart he's a rich hymbo with no original thoughts he's imbred is that true or are you just insulting him I think that's just an insult
Starting point is 01:48:27 I don't know I feel like everything I say about him I'm gonna meet him and I'm gonna have to own my words so I don't want to add homie You go to a lot of vanity fair after parties definitely that's my style
Starting point is 01:48:38 no not yet but I'm willing I think the next 20 years it's gonna be nuts in politics like civil war guys the divide between there are variables that change this, but the divine between left and right right now is so extreme
Starting point is 01:48:53 that when these people get into politics, someone's going to get caned in Congress. That being said, that being said, Anna Kisparian and Nick Fuentes, it's like watching the same show. I'm not saying this to insult either of them. So if Anna, you are offended or Nick your friend. I'm not saying this is,
Starting point is 01:49:09 I'm saying there are a bunch of memes where they quite literally show Anna talking and Nick at the same time, and they're saying the exact same things. Like, they both call Israel a parasitic nation, the true enemy, all of this stuff. It's pretty wild to watch, actually. And she's left and he's right. And so maybe the one thing that will unify the political fashion of this country among the youth is hatred of Israel.
Starting point is 01:49:33 It is the one thing that unifies them. But I also suspect they're both getting paid by the same people. So that is a big part of it. Well, here's the trick, though. You don't need to be paid by someone to be paid by them. Let me put it like this. If you run a botnet and you flood someone's live stream and then super chat a bunch saying something like you should feel this way, then they're going to be like, oh, maybe I should
Starting point is 01:50:01 my audience is telling me to feel the way that I should feel, right? And you can also go into the back end through Google and buy ads against certain content. So the example that I really love is there was a fitness influencer who was getting like 20 to 30,000 views on like, today we're going to do push-ups, we're going to work on their basics or something like that. And then after October 7th, he made a video saying, you know, a bunch of people have commented asking me for my thoughts and this tragedy. And, you know, I'm not a really political guy, but I know it's considered to be like a serious strategic event. So my heart goes out to the victims. That video gets 100,000 views. So what does he think? Wow. I'll make more money
Starting point is 01:50:37 if I do this. So then he makes some fitness videos. Sure enough, a week later, he makes another video about Israel. 100,000 views. Here's a thing. The comments were all critical of Israel. So he gets all these views, and then his audience keeps saying things like, you need to look into this more. It's a false flag.
Starting point is 01:50:54 Netanyahu knew it was going to happen. They made it happen. It's all a big scam. And then within a month, every video he's making is anti-Israel. No longer fitness, and he's getting 100,000, 200,000 views. That happened to me. You need more fitness influencers commenting on Israel. So the idea is, one, this could be an organic trend that people,
Starting point is 01:51:12 people were interested and critical. So when he made a video, he got more viewership because of the algorithm. It could also be that somebody with interests aligned against Israel saw that video, went into Google ads and said, put 10 grand behind this video to run my commercials. And then this video ends up getting a ton of play because YouTube says, there's a $10,000 budget behind this video, show it to more people. So not that they're running the video as an ad, but they're running ads on the video, which results in the algorithm boosting it, which results in the person making more money. And then they say, I better do more of this. And the algorithm says, show more of this. One of the most interesting things that I've heard recently is that the term Erica Kirk as an ad term
Starting point is 01:51:58 generates an RPM equivalent to finance. Finance is the highest RPM. That means for every thousand views on finance, you get about $18. For news and politics, it's about six to eight right now. in the off season, right? This is going to pick up in the fall. Viewership will increase because more ad dollars are going to get spent. So viewership declines, I'll get some inside baseball. Viewership declines around right now particularly because we are not in any main political season. After a presidential election, views drop dramatically for political content, and the ad spend dries up. So the algorithm says, why promote content? No one's putting ads on, promote something else. Once you start getting into the midterms, so here's the lull in the four-year cycle. As you get
Starting point is 01:52:41 closer to the midterms, what happens, is YouTube will say, we have just gotten $2 billion targeting specific political terms run that content. So it's actually pretty easy to understand. If there's 10 people and they all say, we want to run advertisements on political content only, YouTube says to fill that inventory, we have to get a million eyeballs on political content. So put these political videos on the front page so we can fill that, so we can sell these ads. If someone buys a million dollars on a political video, but YouTube won't show that video. YouTube gets no money.
Starting point is 01:53:14 So they promote it. So come fall, we're going to see a massive explosion of political content and money for political content. The manipulation is that you can flub that. So right now, Erica Kirk is generating between $18 and $20 RPMs. This is why you're seeing so many people just obsessed with Erica Kirk, which indicates something very, very weird. Someone is putting ad dollars behind the term Erica Kirk for some reason.
Starting point is 01:53:41 The Occam's razor could be that if you are targeting women, women are obsessed with Erica Kirk. So, so female, like Candace Owens' content largely targets women. So they may actually be just targeting women. And the YouTube algorithm just says women love hating Erica Kirk. However, that's me trying to rationalize when in fact, it doesn't make sense. As a singular term generating that RPM, like finance views are. low because interest in finance is low. So YouTube pushes these videos and the ad rates are extremely high because inventory is so low. It's a complicated system, but it's like this. If YouTube shows a
Starting point is 01:54:23 finance video on the front page and no one clicks it, it has to stop doing it. That means if you are in finance and want someone to see your ad, you've got to outbid the other guy. So I say, look, there's only a million available views today in finance. I want to get those for my company. So I'm willing to spend $20 for every thousand views. Then the other financial planner says, I'll do 21. And this auction system is what drives the price up. In politics, however, the news takes over. YouTube can very easily put a political show on the front page and get a million
Starting point is 01:54:56 views and sell out that ad budget. So there's dirty baseball going. I'll put it like that. I think... I mean, maybe Candace just even before she started down this crazy path understood that there was no much interest there? I mean, and that's why she kept doing it, because you knew that all of that money was coming. We have a new shorts channel because shorts are bad.
Starting point is 01:55:19 They'll kill your YouTube channel. What ends up happening? So we did them for a while. We stopped because YouTube sends about three notifications per day, and we have the live show plus five segments. You had three shorts to that, and that's going to add to the mix. Shorts are worth no money. Between a minute and three minutes, you're not going to get any ads or any views. Or you're not going to get a lot of sponsorships for that short of content.
Starting point is 01:55:41 So what ends up happening is you dilute your notification reach, adding content that makes no money. So we stopped. But we launched a new channel fresh with zero followers, nothing. It just now are just putting up like 20 shorts per day. All the financial issues have the most views. So shorts talking about financial planning, unionization, the economy, gas prices. They're getting like 500 to 1,000 views. Cultural issues have very little.
Starting point is 01:56:07 Because they need the content. Yeah. But you know, the Erica Kirk thing, couldn't that be, I believe a lot of this stuff on Israel, for example, is just is being funded because it divides America and they're trying to divide us. Couldn't a lot of the stuff about Erica Kirk be, we want to divide the conservative movement? I mean, and we're just going to use that. Destroy us from within to allow the other side to. Turning point got Trump elected. Right. So Charlie's dead.
Starting point is 01:56:33 The presumption is that it was a leftist who killed him. and it seems to be that there were other leftists involved because they had foreknowledge. Then you look at the attacks against Erica Kirk and it looks like a well-funded campaign that, you know, in a political off-season, very, very few political channels are getting a lot of, are getting a lot of views. In fact, it's only like Tucker and Candace are getting the most. Tucker largely targets females and she's anti-Israel and, you know, anti-Erika Kirk. Tucker is now anti-Trump and very critical of it.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Israel, they're getting massive viewership. Everyone else, their viewership is way down. Wait, they're getting mad. Tucker's getting mad. Yeah, Tucker, I think he's getting like a million on YouTube. But you know from where? And this is getting a million. It's like, Israel is awful and it's so boring.
Starting point is 01:57:20 I'm not convinced any of that's actually from America anymore. I wouldn't disagree. I mean, I'm glad. They promote his stuff in Russia. Oh, yeah. Russia today puts out stuff about me. Yeah. The way I describe Israel is it's a forward military operations center for the United
Starting point is 01:57:35 States in the Middle East. That's exactly what it is. If you are an adversary of the United States, you want the U.S. to cut them off. You want them to stop providing military resources to Israel. And as I said before, they beta test our weapons. Yeah. Because they actually have to use them. So, I mean, fortunately, our soldiers were not in combat as much as theirs are.
Starting point is 01:57:55 So they're using all of our stuff. And then they give us feedback on how to make our stuff better. Like Israel has helped develop drone how these drones fight in close quarter urban combat. Chips. They produce a lot of chips. too. Let's read this one. We got arsonistee. Is that what it says? Had a baby girl, so I've been away. I saw your Tucker segment. Have you considered that he might oppose Israel over its treatment of Christians enough to break with Trump? I don't. I voted for Barack Obama in 2008. I've never been tormented by that decision. I just did not vote in 2012 and I did not vote in 2016. I wasn't tormented. I didn't cry about it. I didn't apologize to my friends for having advocated for him. I didn't, I wasn't tormented over supporting Bernie. Sanders in the primary. I didn't apologize to my friends for having supported him when Bernie turned. This is a part of being an adult. You vote for someone knowing their imperfect avatars.
Starting point is 01:58:45 So Donald Trump was never going to be, you know, this idea that I or anybody else viewed him as a Messiah, I mean, save, you know, certainly his mega cult people, you know, that faction of the Trump party. Donald Trump hired John Bolton. I complained about it. Donald Trump fired 59 Tom Hawk missiles into Syria. I complained about it. Donald Trump increased drone strikes in the Middle East. I complained about it. Donald Trump gets back in,
Starting point is 01:59:12 pals around with more neocons, goes to war with Iran, and I'm like, uh-huh. Is Tucker pretending he did not know that Miriam Adelson's funding was tied to certain caveats? His brother even said to him like, well, I guess the Miriam Adelson funding
Starting point is 01:59:26 was kind of suspicious. And Tucker laughed. Tucker 100% knew what the support from Mary Madelson meant we all did. So these people are now like, oh, I can't believe that Trump wanted to go to war with Iran. It's like, what? What are you talking about? Not only has it talked about it nonstop, but he was taking money from these people. Why are, why you're putting to be surprised? I look at it like this. Trump offers up a net positive presidency. I can complain
Starting point is 01:59:50 about a lot of things that he does. I think the Democrats would be a net detriment. So I vote for Trump. Then Trump does bad things. And I go, huh, well, that was to be expected, I guess. We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show, however. So smash the like button, and share the show, all that good stuff.
