Starting point is 00:00:00 Donald Trump has secured a trade deal, so it's with China, and from this the markets have rebounded. They are now higher, or at least some of them are higher than before the tariffs went into play. It's fascinating watching the Reddit stocks community. A viral post saying, you guys are all wrong. You live in an echo chamber. Everybody was claiming the markets would be down for decades, several generations. Who knows how long it'll take to recover from Trump's chaos? It was like a couple of weeks and the markets have completely recovered. Now, even CNN has called this a victory, which I got to admit surprised me. So this is great news
Starting point is 00:00:36 for everybody's 401ks and Donald Trump in general, because even with the market recovering, Trump is saying this deal is going to keep a 34 percent tariff on Chinese made goods generally. So he's getting his tariffs, just not one hundred and forty five percent. We'll talk about that. But we also have DHS threatening to arrest members of Congress. They posted a video. I kid you not of it. You can. It's kind of grainy. But a member of Congress closed fist punches a federal agent. Not kidding. We'll play the tape.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I played it earlier. And now there are currently riots happening outside a New Jersey facility once again because the Democrats rally on this kind of violence and crime. Needless to say, they are insurrectionists. And then we'll talk about the current state of the democratic party they're saying aoc may be running for president that's right please that's right all right everybody before we get started make sure you go to castbrew.com and buy some delicious coffee we got a bunch of different flavors we got ian's graphene dream everybody loves that one we got a little bit left sells like like hot cakes low acidity coffee appalachian nights of course

Hello. Who are you? What do you do? Who am I? Wow. I don't know. I'm trying to figure that out. No, I'm joking. Every day. I'm a sports broadcaster. That's how I started out in my short career. I'm 23. Crazy. And I never considered myself like a political person in general until I got afraid that I thought Biden had a shot of winning this election pre-Kamala days. And I was like, you know what, let me become a bit more vocal. I have a large audience, largely nonpolitical, which was important to me to speak up.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And I was mostly like sports fans, boxing, NBA, basketball, whatever. And when I started to speak up about Trump, I noticed like that cancel culture everyone spoke about coming from my throat. So I doubled down on my political commentary, got fired from everything. How fun. But you know, one door closes, a bigger one opens. And now I find myself still doing the sports and a bigger and better dream job I never thought I could achieve. And now I still get to do the political commentary. So I get the best of both worlds. Right on. Well, thanks for that. Should be fun. We got Shane hanging out. What's up? I am Shane Cashman, host of Inverted World Live. Last night, the show turned one year old. It was a fun show. We talked about how the government might be creating serial
Starting point is 00:05:11 killers and how my new theory is that maybe they astroturfed true crime to divert people from knowing that the government's actually the real Ted Bundy. Have you guys been tracking the solar storm power outages? Not in the show, but I just saw the story about what happened in Europe. In London? I saw the Portugal one, I think. Yeah, London. London lost power to the underground. And, you know, it could just be sometimes the power goes out.
Starting point is 00:05:34 But these are widespread power outages. So everyone's kind of freaking out. Is that what happened in Newark today? Newark airport had a power outage. What? Wait, you guys didn't hear about it? Well, I know that Newark's radar is failing. Oh, well, their system apparently is so old that they need to slow down the input of data
Starting point is 00:05:50 so that it can process it. This is like 2025. Let's talk about the solar storm. We'll get into it in a little bit. At least the government has Mount Weather. They'll be fine. I don't know if the solar storm... I'll give you a quick gist because I don't want to...
Starting point is 00:06:02 We'll save it for the show, but there's been a handful of solar storms and then uh coincidentally we've also seen major power outages like we saw in spain puerto rico now the london underground went down and this is a substantial power outage some people think and this could be totally wrong it's just online talk that uh the magnetosphere may be weakening and the government may be prepping for something like this there There's a lot to talk about in that regard. But anyway, Shane's here. Phil's here too. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. Here's a story from CNN. I can't believe I'm going to read this headline. How Trump managed to get his much needed China trade victory. Incredible that that is a CNN headline. I just want to make sure you guys can see this.
Starting point is 00:06:46 CNN.com right there at the top. CNN business. And they called it a victory. Maybe they're realizing they can't sustain themselves off of anti-Trump vitriol. And so they're going to actually try and, you know, move over a little bit. Best thing they have going for them is Scott Jennings. The only Republican on the network is keeping them afloat. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:06 All of their viral clips are him. I know. They have no relevance outside of him. And they fired Ryan Gerduski, which also he was helping contribute to their virality. For being hilarious. He didn't even say anything.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Anyway. It was funny. I laughed. Indeed. So here's a story from New York Times. The U.S. and China agreed to temporarily slash tariffs in bid to defuse the trade war. The White House backed off from the steepest levies as the cost of an all-out trade war with China threatened the global economic growth. While CNN says Trump got his much-needed China trade victory, CNBC says China sees the U.S. trade deal as a huge win for Beijing.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah. Well, of course they would. That's called making a deal. Both sides are like, we are satisfied with these terms. It kind of got what we wanted. Now, one of the most interesting things about this is I read this tweet from Charlie Kirk. Scott Besant revealed that China basically ignored the trade agreements negotiated by Trump because they knew Joe Biden was weak and wouldn't enforce the terms. So let me break this down for you. Liberals across the border saying Trump got nothing. He's backtracking. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:08:14 well, that's overly simplistic. I think it's fair to say perhaps Trump wanted more and he got what he got, but he did. There's currently between 10 and 34 percent. There's two different reports on this. One I've seen from the press saying a 34 percent general tariff is remaining as reciprocal. But I've also seen a statement from the White House saying that they're going to pause that for 90 days down to 10 percent. Yeah. Either way, that 10 percent universal tariff was not there before. Be it 10 or 34 percent. So Trump big asked a tariff on China. He said 145, everybody loses their mind. Then he walks it back and it goes down to such a degree that Trump, that the liberals
Starting point is 00:08:53 are saying he's backtracked and given up. That's a win for Trump. The markets have rebounded. If Trump came out and said, we're going to do a 34% tariff on China, just that was it. The market would take a hit. Liberals would lose their minds. In this instance, by going way up and then coming down, he secured tariffs. Now, the other interesting thing is the heavy hand, I think, may have been because of this. Check the statement out from Scott Besson. What has to happen is it has to be fair for the American people. But in January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China, and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it.
Starting point is 00:09:36 The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations. So we already have a large framework. The other thing to remember here, Jonathan, is that this is a pause down to 10 percent. The April 2nd level for China is 34 percent. So we will be working to see where their final reciprocal number ends up. And the negotiations are a combination of tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, currency manipulation and subsidies of labor and capital. So what did Trump get? Well, the heavy hand says to China, we will be enforcing our your obligations to us, not like the Biden administration. And there's a tariff in place and the market has recovered.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Take a look at this up atop of the screen. The Dow is at forty two, four, ten S&P is at five thousand eight forty four. That's a two point eight one increase in the Dow, a three point two six percent increase in the S&P and the Nasdaq's up four point three five. In fact, one report saying that S&P is actually higher than it's than it's than it was before the tariffs went into place. So that is a recovery in the market. CNN's calling it a victory. He did it, guys.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Well, I mean, it clearly is some kind of positive for the Trump administration. There are people that were, you know, two weeks ago or a week ago screaming that this is the end, you know, the tariffs were going to be the end of the economy and everything was going to be super expensive and no one's going to be able to afford anything. But that kind of comes to the territory when it comes to the way the media portrays Donald Trump. It is notable that CNN is actually claiming that this is a victory because everyone knows how this media treats him. CNN especially. An economist I like a lot, Thomas Sowell, was saying these were apocalyptic tariffs.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Yeah. And he was saying not a good idea. Why is everyone so dramatic? Well, free market, like free trade people like Thomas Sowell and stuff, I don't think that he's actually an Austrian, but he leans towards the free market kind of ideas. And if you're a free market guy, tariffs are considered a bad thing. And, you know, not just for Austrians, but just free market people overall.
Starting point is 00:11:52 So it makes sense that Sol was saying that stuff. But at the same time, I think that there are too many people that were expecting this to be the kind of the end of the road as opposed to treating it like a negotiating tool. And clearly it was just a negotiating tool. What's so mind boggling to me, and I don't, I mean, what's done is done. You can't go back in time. But I don't know how more people are not so frustrated with the fact that Biden just let our country get so taken advantage of. And it's like, I'm humiliated as an American that like travels overseas and abroad.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And the fact that he's like, yeah, we had a pretty good plan in place and Biden just let all the other countries take advantage of us. You can't blame them. To your point, though, China made it very clear when the Biden administration met with them in Alaska. They straight up said, you are not in a position of power here. And that was because of the people. Yeah, to Blinken.
Starting point is 00:12:43 That was because of the individuals. It wasn't because of the people. Yeah. To Blinken. That was because of the individuals. It wasn't because of the United States. There's some kind of significant difference between today and four years ago. It was because they had no respect for Blinken or Joe Biden and his administration. Here's my conspiracy theory. It's like it's 2020 and Trump is sitting there being like everything's going really great as pre-COVID. And he was like, but people don't understand because they have no frame of reference to how great things really are. So he cuts a deal with the Democrats saying, you guys take the next four years and just burn it all to the ground. That way, when I come back, people will really appreciate what we have to offer. Yeah, I don't think Trump would have—
Starting point is 00:13:16 I'm joking, by the way. I don't think that actually happened. No, but like on a serious note, I don't think Trump could have won this election unless the country got as far extreme woke as it did. And the reason it was so easy to take advantage of Biden is because he was too busy, like, worrying about people's pronouns. Not being alive. He was dead. He was worried about not dying every day of his life. Yeah, I don't think he was worried about much.
Starting point is 00:13:40 He was more so worried about if he was going to make it to the bathroom in time. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not trying to be mean to an old man, but kind of. It was elderly abuse. The fact that his family let that happen for so long, it's like as frustrated as I am with the tariffs, if I were any of these prime ministers or presidents, I would have done exactly the same. Like he belonged in hospice, not in the White House.
Starting point is 00:13:59 The rest of the world loved it. I know. Did you guys see him on The View? I didn't understand what he said. Yeah. The new clone's all right. The new clone is all right. I? I didn't understand what he said. The new clone's all right. The new clone is all right. I couldn't understand most of what he said, honestly.
Starting point is 00:14:11 So I didn't see it. I heard clips. But it was really bad. And Jill did a lot of covering. I was just going to say, Jill speaks for him. When he starts to fumble and stuff, she's like, I'm going to step in now. It was like the debate with Trump, where it's like he starts a sentence semi-articulate. Here you go. You guys ready?
Starting point is 00:14:25 It's just a shame we're playing clips of Biden again. But this matters. It's funny. The projects, the benefits. How do you lead the world without having the best instruction? How do you lead the world without having the best health care? How do you lead the world without having the best education? How do you lead the world?
Starting point is 00:14:44 You know, do you know what I thought of the moment? So Tate was like, here, I got some clips for you. And he showed me this. And then I was like, it reminds me of Bruce Almighty. You know the scene where Bruce is standing off to the side and Steve Carell at the anchor desk, he goes, That's the first thing I thought of. Like, let me play that again for you.
Starting point is 00:15:03 This guy was president. The project, the benefits how do you lead the world without having the best instruction how do you lead the world without how do you lead the world without having the best education how do you the the nihilist in me is laughing going sounds like he's talking every single clip I've ever seen of The View has been against my will. Like, I've never once voluntarily went to go find a clip of The View. I swear, if it wasn't for Republicans just bashing them, I don't know if a soul would be watching it besides, like, a movie. Have you ever seen Alex Jones on The View?
Starting point is 00:15:36 It's one of the best moments. Oh, yeah. When was he on The View? Well, to be fair, I think Norm MacDonald was better. It's equal. But Norm's is great. Norm's is great because he's talking about the Clintons. And so, I guess, is Alex Jones.
Starting point is 00:15:46 What was he saying? Like, Bill Clinton killed a guy? Yeah. And they're like, stop. Don't say that. And they're like, what do you mean? I thought you were a funny guy, Norm. And he was like, I thought everybody knew.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Bill Clinton killed a guy. Oh, rest in peace. Wait, so that may be a little voluntarily wrong. Alex Jones was on to defend his friend Charlie Sheen. At the time, it was the Tiger Blood controversy. How long ago was this? A thousand years ago. I don't remember. It's so crazy that Alex Jones on The View. Great. It's a great clip.
Starting point is 00:16:10 We're talking about the same Alex Jones, like the unhinged conspiracy theorist. Well, he's ripped now. Have you seen him lately? Unhinged? Physically, mentally. No, no, no. I'm saying. He's hinged, Emily. No, no, no. He's got some good points, but he gets crazy out there. He's the one who broke Connie on with the little jellyfish.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah. I'm just, I'm just pointing out that he's like, he's like jacked now. Like Alex, congratulations, man. He's just mentally unstable. The way people look at Alex Jones pre, um, Sandy Hook and post Sandy Hook was different because the way that the media portrayed him and the way they dragged his name through the mud and blamed him for the shooting and for what happened, which is the most ridiculous thing. They blamed him for the shooting? In court, he owes a billion dollars. One billion dollars. To be fair, the plaintiffs were requesting the GDP of France.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah. That's not a joke. They wanted something like $2 trillion. Yeah, it was the biggest There are people who believe he is the shooter. There's people who think he did it. All he did was question things and he apologized later. I don't think he should have but he did. He definitely
Starting point is 00:17:18 should have apologized but people blame him. I thought it was so insensitive but for him to be the shooter? But the reason that people look at Alex Jones the way they do today is because of what the media did to him in 2012, 13, 14.
Starting point is 00:17:33 In that time period. Is that when the shooting was? It was in 2012. Obama was president, right? I was 11 then. I guess it was so traumatizing. I remember I bought rifles right afterwards. I was like, they're going to come after rifles. I called up a buddy of mine.
Starting point is 00:17:48 I got my pistol recently. Glock 43. I remember I was eating a cheeseburger in Brooklyn. Nice. Where? I was in New York, too. It was a burger joint called Action Burger. I think they still exist.
Starting point is 00:18:00 That place is amazing, by the way. I hate Brooklyn. I think we were on tour with Machine Head and Death. Yeah, I think it still exists. Wow, that's, by the way. I hate Brooklyn. I detest. Yeah, I think it still exists. Wow, that's crazy. They still around? That's so cool. If you guys are in New York, go to Action Burger. Sci-fi comic book burger restaurant.
Starting point is 00:18:16 That sounds cool. Yeah. And they make a milkshake where they put the oatmeal cream pie cookie right in it and blend it up. And you gain like 20 pounds by looking at it. Wow. I don't know if they still do that, but they did that when I was there. I used to get them all the time. I felt like I'm a fatty now. I just want to say I like how we went
Starting point is 00:18:32 from the view to this so quickly. We went through a lot of things. We're talking about fatties. It's very comparable to you. It's good Americana right here. Fatties. Let's jump to this next story. I love this story so much. HHS Secretary Arfke Jr. celebrates Trump's move to slash medicine prices. Qu this story so much hhs secretary rfk jr celebrates trump's move to slash medicine prices quote i never thought this would happen in my lifetime we
Starting point is 00:18:50 finally have a president who's willing to stand up for the american people rfk jr is a liberal guy he is head of hhs and with donald trump they they have signed an executive order to drop prices to drop the prices of drugs this This is not a price control. OK, the Democrats are coming out and they're saying, I thought price controls were communist. Oh, my God. How do you find something bad to say about saving people's everything? OK, let's start over. Kamala Harris was talking about controlling the prices of groceries at the grocery store because she was accusing them of price gouging.
Starting point is 00:19:20 OK, their margins are like one percent. Trump is telling RF Kennedy Jr. to basically negotiate with pharmaceutical companies as to what Medicare and Medicaid will be willing to pay. He's basically saying, go tell them we ain't paying these outrageous costs anymore and force them to reduce the prices. And if they don't tell them we're going to pay them less, we're going to pay them the same rate, the cheapest than the country that gets the cheapest rate gets. That's basically where it is. Let me play this clip rfk jr thank you mr president i love just a little bit this is uh this is an extraordinary day this is an issue that you know i grew up in the democratic party and every major democratic leader for 20 years been making this promise the american people this was the fulcrum of
Starting point is 00:20:05 Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. But as it turns out, none of them were doing it. It's one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they'll never have to do it. And the reason they'll never have to do it is because they know that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry. There's at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, every senator in Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court. Some estimates, three.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Pharmaceutical companies, the industry itself spends three times what the next largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. So this was a this this was an issue that people talked about. Nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. They knew you couldn't get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage. President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical industry too.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I think they gave you $100 million. When he- It's so funny. Unlike most of the politicians in this country. And he is standing here for the American people. I don't know. So I just want to say, this is what I love about Trump.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And I want to make sure all of the fake woke liberals hear this. I have never been a laissez-faire, me personally, I don't know about you guys, a laissez-faire capitalist, libertarian, free market, let the corporate, let the pharmaceutical companies
Starting point is 00:21:41 charge whatever they want for whatever drug they get. I wouldn't call myself a communist where I think we give away all the drugs for free. I just think that there is a serious problem when we, the American people, are footing the bill on all of their profit margins and R&D. And they're giving away these drugs and the IP to foreign countries at dirt costs. But you know why they do it? Because other countries tell them no. The other countries say, yeah, we'll buy your drug, but there's no way you're charging our people that much.
Starting point is 00:22:07 That's nuts. Well, it's okay. They had Biden who tolerated it, so they thought it would still. It goes back to the first topic we discussed, which is us being taken advantage of. Just like if you're liberal and you find a problem with this, think about it like this. Imagine you paid $150,000 for a car in America, but then you found out everyone in London has been buying the same car for $40,000. Wouldn't you be pissed that all your money is being thrown to the garbage for no reason and you're not being treated fairly? Hmm. Think about who put you in that predicament. Biden.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Now let's make it so that you die if you don't have the car. Right. Exactly. I put it in fluffy and unicorn. I want to say this. So it's not a price control. He's telling RFK, he's basically saying, we're not going to pay this much anymore. And he's telling these private companies that negotiate with Medicare and Medicaid, we are officially going to cut you off unless you drop these prices. That is within the purview of the president to do.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Now, the fascinating thing is, one, liberals are attacking it as price controls, saying I thought it was communist. Why? Just literally come out and say, thank you, Mr. President. I don't understand. Never. Because they're bad people. Over their dead body. Because they're bad people. Indeed. There was very little Biden did that I thought was good, but I will give him credit for when he wanted to stop ATM fees that destroy largely lower class and middle class individuals. They get these overdraft fees and they end up racking up two,
Starting point is 00:23:24 $300 and they put themselves in a permanent negative. And I said, that's a good thing. It's not the most impactful thing in the world, but I thought it was good. Then you add, I think it was AOC and Ana Paulina Luna, I'm not sure, recently. Yeah. Trying to get rid of like these super high credit card
Starting point is 00:23:36 interest rates and stuff like this, like dealing with that or capping it. I heard it was disastrous. I also thought that was good. The libertarians are apoplectic. They're like, no, this is not a price control. I actually have a problem with that. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:23:48 The credit card thing? I heard a lot of pushback on that. Yeah. The cost of loaning, of borrowing money, that's just a price, the cost. And when you have a non-collateralized loan, which is what credit cards are, They have no way to get their money back. And if you give people that have that are high risk, if you give them low interest rates, they're going to go ahead and take advantage. I disagree. I see this
Starting point is 00:24:12 as if you are a bank and you want a non-collateralized loan at a high interest rate and you get screwed over, cry me a river. Stop choosing to give money to people who can't pay you back. And then what happens is there are people who get credit cards at 7%. But there's a little tiny clause in the bottom where it's like once you cross the 50% credit threshold, they jack your interest up to 30%.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And people are told when they sign up that they're getting at 7%. So I am fine with regulating things like this. And if that puts the burden on the credit card companies, then the credit card company can choose not to give people credit cards. That's also true. They're targeting people and they're giving this stuff out. So I will agree, I will agree. It's a nuanced issue. My point is Trump is doing something
Starting point is 00:24:54 Democrats should be jumping up and down and cheering for. They should be popping champagne. Instead, they're mad. This is the war on drugs I support. We could go today. These two guys also stopped federally funding gain of function. Yep. Like, these are two things I'm into.
Starting point is 00:25:12 The gain of function, big time. That was a big win. It's just fascinating how RFK Jr. is, it's like all of his dreams are coming true. I was very, very worried for him that all of these clandestine forces and big pharma would somehow frame him to just have not woken up one day because there's so many forces working against him because unfortunately
Starting point is 00:25:32 way too many people profit off of illness especially in America. Number one obesity heart disease like it's scary how our leading stats are not in math and science but in like health issues because everyone's rich off of it. Keep in mind this is an executive order, so Congress still has to make this permanent,
Starting point is 00:25:49 and that's where the real long shot is. It'll be very telling who's bought. Well, I mean, they're all bought when it comes to pharma stuff, but that's really where you'll see the fight. There's going to be all kinds of of lobbyists going after congress trying to prevent them from making this permanent because honestly like pharma companies can be like all right look we don't make a big stink about this keep it kind of quiet and work on your your you know your representatives the guys you know make the phone calls you can and they can
Starting point is 00:26:20 basically keep it you know keep it out of the the public eye. I imagine that the tactic will be keep this out of the public eye, work behind the scenes, work on your representatives that you know, blah, blah, blah. But don't make a stink about this. And we'll get we'll deal with a year or two or three or whatever of not making the same profits. But we'll get it back in the end because another president's going to come in. There's a lot of people in a lot of industries that are going to look at Donald Trump and the things that he does in executive orders. And they're going to say, well, this sucks for us now, but the next administration will make it right.
Starting point is 00:26:52 So it's super, it's incumbent on the American people to get in touch with their Congress people and tell them, look, you guys haven't done a damn thing. There have been five bills that Donald Trump has signed so far in his term. And it's because no bills of any consequence have gotten to his desk because Congress isn't doing anything. Congress has to make these things that Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:27:16 they have to do it before campaign season. They have to do it ASAP. They have to do it this year. The American people need to call their representatives and be like, if you don't produce legislation, we're going to we're going to make sure you get primary. We're going to get you out of office. I think the challenge that we have is Democrats have extra seats in Congress because of illegal immigrants. And so right now they've got there's a two seat majority for the Republicans. It should actually be a 12 seat majority, meaning they should have way more room for big change. But Democrats in California, Illinois, Washington, New York, et cetera, they allow illegal immigrants in.
Starting point is 00:27:55 The illegal immigrants get counted on the census and then they get extra congressional seats. This needs to end. And I don't know how they do it at the federal level. It can be done at the state level. If people in the states start voting, there's a lot of things we can do if people pay attention to their local politics. But I do think with Trump that California, Illinois, they're going to be I don't know. I know California. I'm not sure which other states they're going to be losing congressional seats and electoral college votes because people are fleeing those states. They're not calculating Trump's mass deportations and the self deportation. So if Trump ends up getting, let's say, a million people out of California, it's a lot of people. But let's say he actually does. They're going to lose potentially two congressional seats just off that alone, not to mention the normal net out migration.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So now they're project right now they're projecting Democrats, even if they won, even if Kamala won Michigan and Pennsylvania in 2024, she would have lost to Trump based on the new census projected for 2030. Add in Trump's deportations and it'll be wild. But that being said, if in 2028, the Democrats win the presidency, they will flood this country with more people than you could believe possible. The UAE real estate's looking good right now. They say that 2021 to 25, Biden's term, was one of the largest human migrations
Starting point is 00:29:34 in the history of humanity. They say it rivals that of partition. Wow. Imagine what's going to happen in 2028 with Democrats knowing they will never win again. If they win in 2028, they are going to open the borders and they are going to bring every single person they can. It's been the plan for ages. That's what the whole, you know, the refugee resettlement program with HHS was.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And it's great that, you know, Kennedy's the secretary of health and human services and that he ended those programs. I believe he's ended those programs. But that was, you know, we've talked about that a bunch on the show. They were bringing people in. There were NGOs helping to get people to the border. As soon as people got to the border, HHS was transferring them all over the country. And remember, this is something that the Democrats were swearing up and down was make-believe, that it was all made up.
Starting point is 00:30:26 It wasn't true. They weren't doing this. Come to find out, there was an actual government program run by the Health and Human Services. It was called the Refugee Resettlement Program, and they were shipping people that were here. Technically, they were illegal because they didn't actually qualify for asylum,
Starting point is 00:30:47 but they were asylum seekers. They were shipping them all over the country, a lot to purple states because they wanted to change the makeup of the states. Oh yeah, doing it in New York. We literally, we funded them. They had five-star hotels. They had cell phones.
Starting point is 00:30:59 We paid their groceries. We like basically welcomed them with the most open arms. We're like, hey, you know what? Take a check too. Why not? We're already funding. They took over entire hotels in New York City. I remember. And then half welcome them with the most open arms. We're like, hey, you know what? Take a check too. Why not? We're already funding. They took over entire hotels in New York City. I remember. And then half of them were flashing gang signs
Starting point is 00:31:09 at the news. Like, some of them making their presence very felt and known. One of these individuals was arrested in a shooting in Times Square. Remember that one? Remember the guy that was arrested? Oh, I mean there was a shooting there on New Year's Day when I was there. But no, several months ago in Times Square there was a shooting. And then didn't he rob a Macy's like a couple weeks later? Oh, I mean, there was a shooting there on New Year's Day when I was there. But no, several months ago in Times Square,
Starting point is 00:31:25 there was a shooting. And then didn't he rob a Macy's like a couple of weeks later? Oh, I don't know. Was that the guy that flipped off the police officer? No, no, no, no, no. He was arrested twice. That was a different guy.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Another illegal immigrant. Let's jump to this story from NPR. Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners citing moral opposition. Oh boy. So Donald Trump's bringing in refugees from South Africa. I say based. That is the right thing to do. And I know the liberals are screaming hypocrite, hypocrite. That's because they're not smart enough to read the news. And I'll explain exactly why these people deserve to get asylum. They say in a striking move that ends a nearly four decades old relationship between
Starting point is 00:32:06 the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration. In a letter sent to members of the church, the most reverend, Sean W. Rowe, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, said that two weeks ago, the government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa, whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees. The request, Rowe said, crossed a moral line for the Episcopal Church, which is part of the global Anglican communion, which boasts among its leaders,
Starting point is 00:32:49 the later Bishop Desmond Tutu. In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties to the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government. That is specifically because they are white people. The church has ended a 40 year relationship to receive money to resettle refugees. These people are unrepentant racists. And I will tell you right now, the reason why it is based to bring these people into the United States as refugees has nothing to do with their race, because I will say
Starting point is 00:33:31 what I've said the whole time. I think it is good the United States brings in asylum seekers, real ones, not people from Eritrea who fly to Brazil and then travel all the way up through Central America to illegally enter our country and then claim to be an asylum seeker. Not the people from Venezuela who travel all through South and Central America to come to the U.S. to claim to be an asylum seeker, but the people who apply legally online or through a consulate and then are legally granted that status. I don't care if they're from Venezuela. I don't care if they're from Brazil. I don't care if they're from China. If they file their paperwork with the consulate and they get approved legally, be it asylum,
Starting point is 00:34:09 refugee status, temporary protected status, or full on permanent residency, you do it through the legal process. These South Africans did that. They didn't fly to Mexico and illegally cross our border. And so I say, good, that's how asylum should be handled. And now these racists are like, if they come from Guatemala, traveling through a bunch of countries, stopping in Mexico, and then screaming no to asylum in Mexico, which literally happened, I say, they are ripping us off and they are lying. But if they apply, wait in their home country, get approved, and then come, I got no problem with it. Well, it's okay to be racist if it's towards white people today.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I mean, isn't that what Elon Omar said? Like, white men are the biggest threat to our country right now? I feel so threatened in this room with all of you here. Only white men in here. What's up with this? Well, actually, I got to stop you there. Serge is African-American. Right. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:00 What's that joke now that gingers are African-American? Is that because orange is black? No, Serge is literally African. Legit. He's from Africa. Oh, you orange is black? No, Serge is literally African. Legit. Are you actually African? We resettled this one. I saw a trend on TikTok. All the gingers are like, do I get the N-word pass?
Starting point is 00:35:12 And I'm like, I just missed that joke. But that's because these woke groups are claiming gingers are black. But why? I don't know. I mean. Isn't it a skin color? No. They're a minority.
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's not. It's not. It's not. This is why I often tell people woke does not have anything to do with philosophy or ideology. Right. There's no there's no logic behind it. You get all these people come out and they're like, woke means critical theory. No, it doesn't. It means lack of thinking.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Woke is just adherence to the cult. There is a cult. It exists in the liberal sphere. And if you agree with it, you're in. If you disagree with it, you're out. It is cult-like adherence to their orthodoxy. That's why the Coalition of Communities of Color said Slavic people are people of color. So Luke Rutkowski, blonde hair and blue eyes, white Polish guy, is considered a person of color to them.
Starting point is 00:36:03 And I'm telling everybody, there's no rhyme or reason or logic to how they operate or what their function is. It's just agree with us or you don't. Are you in the cult or are you out of it? I wish there was woke when I was applying to college because I would have ticked every box. There was. When I was applying? It's been there for decades.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Woke has kind of been the standard operating procedure since 2010 or so, 2011. I mean, I wish I just could have identified as anything I wanted for DEI reasons. I've gone into every Ivy League ever. You could have. Well, I didn't know. I was normal.
Starting point is 00:36:35 But this has always been the problem with the implementation of these affirmative action programs. Right. Sorry, you probably know this one. You remember when that blonde South African guy applied for the African American scholarship or whatever? And he got it? No. Oh,
Starting point is 00:36:49 I just got so happy. He showed up. So my understanding of the story is that he genuinely didn't understand because African American isn't a, like we don't use, like people around the world don't use phrases like that. They just say black. And so this blonde white dude sees that there's a scholarship for african-americans and he's from
Starting point is 00:37:08 south africa so he applied he shows up to the meeting to like to read his like essay or whatever and they're like excuse me and he's like i'm i'm here for the the scholarship and they're like but you're white he's like oh i'm from africa and they're like no it's so weird that i had to like tiptoe around using normal terminology it took me so long to get accustomed to describing someone as black. Because technically, Elon Musk is African-American, too. You could be white and African-American, but then you can't describe a person of color as only African-American. You can say person of color, but you can't say colored person. Which color?
Starting point is 00:37:41 Which is ridiculous. You can't say colored person. That's offensive. But person of color. I'm a person of color. This is ridiculous. But this is the problem. Serge, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't colored person mean mixed race? Yes. In South Africa, a colored person
Starting point is 00:37:56 is someone that is of descent of mixed race. In South Africa, a lot of the people from Southern Africa are usually lighter skinned. The northern darker people came from the north in the Bantu migration because we were there first. And then eventually the skin color changed. But that group of people, the colored people on the
Starting point is 00:38:12 western side of the country mainly speak Afrikaans and are Afrikaans speaking people. And this is not the American offensive term, colored person. My understanding is that during apartheid, which maybe you can say apartheid was offensive, sure. There was, what were they called? Black, colored, and white were like the categories.
Starting point is 00:38:27 What was the difference between black and colored? Colored is mixed race. Okay. So like light skins, as we would call it. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. I guess. They use the word colored, C-L-O-U-R-E-D, to refer to themselves as like their racial group.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Some people get angry about me saying that. I'm like, well, then take it up with them, man. If you want to be mad about it, tell them to not. Go tell those people not to say that they're colored. Or not to ask us to refer to them that way. But in the United States, it's different. So there's a funny story. I hate to call out this business because they're really great,
Starting point is 00:38:56 but I got to tell the story anyway. In Charlestown, there's this really great brewery called Abolition Aleworks. And Serge knows exactly where this is going. They have signs everywhere that say Abo. And we brought Richie there, who's Australian, and he nearly had a heart attack. Wait, why? Because that's the N word in Australia.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Really? Aboriginal. And so Abolition Aleworks had Abo on a bunch of pieces of art. And he walked in and he was like, whoa, that's crazy. And it's like, it means something different in America. It doesn't mean anything. But to an Australian, you know, different things mean different things. Well, back to the headline. I didn't have a chance to dig into it today.
Starting point is 00:39:41 And I didn't really understand the controversy. And until you just clarified it i thought trump just brought them in and i'm like well that's kind of hypocritical isn't it and then now i'm seeing that they filled out the applications they got approved and they came in legally and i'm like what's the controversy they're waving american flags they're not they want to paint republicans as anti-immigration but then you say we're not anti-immigration we just want it done the right way so it doesn't fit their narrative and they have to spin it in a way that fits theirs. These are families, not military-age men.
Starting point is 00:40:11 We weren't able to claim asylum for any refugee, say it's like this. The U.S. actually had a huge embargo on South Africa because of apartheid, which may have been right, may have been incorrect. I'm not, I wanted to speak for it. Obviously, I don't want segregation, but America had it too. It's not like they're just high and mighty. Oh, we would never do that. it's like you guys fought a war about it it's not even that deep it's just do it the right way i don't care we were never allowed
Starting point is 00:40:30 to do that until now and now we're able to do that and that's what you're seeing a lot of people being like hey i want to get the hell out of here let's move to the u.s and become an american how how how insane is it that in south africa they literally chant and sing kill the white people kill the white farmer specifically right no but israel's apartheid not south africa but the left is like that's just a protest song doesn't mean anything and it's like bro how like are you kidding like they're jumping up and down and singing well the left clearly they made it clear they love terrorists i do want to read this though this is there's some uh important information there they say the africaners were met on arrivals to nbc news by uh u.s deputy deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Landau said that Trump's pause of the U.S. refugee program was from the very beginning subject to exceptions. When it was determined to be in the interest of the United States, he cited the example of when the refugees could be assimilated easily into our country. They tell quite harrowing stories of the violence they faced in South Africa that was not redressed by the authorities by the unjust application of law. The United States, as we were proud to say, has stood for equal justice under the law and the fair and impartial application of law. In an executive order issued on February 7th, Trump said the U.S. the United States would help with resettling Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation. Executive order also said the U.S. would no longer provide aid or assistance to South Africa. It came after a new South African land law went into effect that seems to reflect the views of Elon Musk. Now, it's been a while since we got over this, but there was a Trump had a pause on the refugee program. I will say this because I do want to pull
Starting point is 00:41:59 that up and make sure it's correct. I disagree with this. If they're arguing these people can be easily assimilated, therefore they get an exception to any kind of pause on refugee status. I disagree with that. But I ain't throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I agree with the U.S.'s legal migration practices. Donald Trump has previously said we want more migration, but legally, legally. There's a lot of people that don't want that at all. There's a lot of people on the right that say no, no more immigrants. And we'll see where Donald Trump goes with it. I think it's great when we have immigrants that come to this country and assimilate properly economically and culturally so that we can maintain our moral traditions and we don't clutter the country with low-skill labor
Starting point is 00:42:39 and then destroy the base level of our economy. I mean, I genuinely love the cultural diversity. Like, I live in New York, and all of my immigrant friends are obviously legal immigrants. And by the way, one of my closest friends is a legal refugee from Ukraine who came since the war started. And it's just like, again, repeating the same point I said earlier, it's not that we're against immigration, but you have to do it the right way. Because otherwise, how do you differentiate who's coming here that's like secretly Hamas? And then how do you differentiate who's coming here to actually make their lives better and chase the American dream?
Starting point is 00:43:11 And the only way to do that is through the documentation and the vetting. And it's just if you want to come here and you actually want to have a better life, then do it the legal way. Otherwise, you're just going to be kicked out. And this is the legal way. Not that controversial. Just a quick aside. I want to show this post from at timcast news guys if you're on x follow at timcast
Starting point is 00:43:29 news uh we got this post take a look at this both pictures are from the white house press conference today the orange filter the fake news media places on donald trump is insane here's what trump looks like in an actual video and you can see he does have a tan. He's got fake tan of some sort. Take a look at how they put him in the articles. I mean, come on. Look at that. They have to be increasing saturation.
Starting point is 00:43:56 They do. This has been debunked already. The same debate on Fox and CNN. CNN made him look so orange. It looks like you powdered his face in Cheetos. And he looked normal on Fox I bet I was I was I was watching today and I was thinking the same thing because on one channel once again and they'll argue no it's just that we use color what's normal it's bro no it's
Starting point is 00:44:18 it's it's crazy let me see if uh there was one day I saw the president in person on subtle flex and that night he did a press conference and I was like mommy I swear he There was one day I saw the president in person on Subtle Flex, and that night he did a press conference, and I was like, Mommy, I swear he was not orange when I saw him today. She was like, I don't know, he looks pretty orange now. Ever since the Joe Rogan, you know, making him kind of gray-colored thing,
Starting point is 00:44:37 everyone, even if they're not, and it just has to do with the lighting or the lens, it doesn't matter, because people are going to think they did, or at least believe they did. This is a picture from The Guardian. Look at this. Like it's small, but they all do it. I've met this man in person.
Starting point is 00:44:55 He does not look bright orange. Right? He doesn't look orange in person. That's so weird. He's so dirty. I want to go back to what you said earlier. You said the word assimilation and my mind went elsewhere. Can you guys, what came out today in the uk he said something along the lines of they're gonna crack
Starting point is 00:45:11 down more on immigrants that want to assimilate by making sure they're proficient enough in english in the uk yeah in the uk and i thought oh my god imagine america did this i meet so many people who don't speak a word of English after 50 years here. The Trump administration did make an executive order saying that the official language of the United States is English. Yeah, but that's totally different. He's saying basically to qualify for immigration you have to be proficient in the UK.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Well, if I understand correctly, to become a citizen you have to be able to speak English here. I mean, I know so many legal immigrants who definitely don't speak English. It's something that we talked about. And I honestly, like, I think that you should have to be able to speak English to come to the U.S.
Starting point is 00:45:52 on a green card or anything. You know, a language is an operating system. There are a bunch of phrases that you can only say in English because they wouldn't make sense if you, you know, as a literal translation. So you have to be like, well, it's like saying. So I think that because it helps to foster assimilation and like a cohesive society, I think that it's important for all Americans to speak English.
Starting point is 00:46:17 If you want to come here, you should have to speak English. The government shouldn't be printing up official paperwork or whatever in Chinese and Mandarin and Spanish. There should be just English and you should have to learn it. And so many people try to make that seem like it's racist. But my argument is like no one forced you to come here. Listen, I'm a practicing Jew. I keep all my cultural traditions. We have beautiful freedom of religion.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I'm not proselytizing it. And it's like if you came to America, there was a reason. You clearly loved the values here. You saw the potential here. So what's the point of bringing the disasters from your country here just to replicate them? You're trying to escape something clearly. Don't bring
Starting point is 00:46:56 all that nonsense here. Just go back to wherever you came from. And that's not racist. It's called assimilation. Either you contribute or you're making it worse. What they want, what they had in their home country, but they want to be rich. That's essentially the long and short of it. I come to the United States, I make a lot of money really, really quickly, then bring my laws and I'm on top. That phrase wouldn't make any sense in another language either.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Let's jump to this story from the Postmillennial. Protestors block access to Newark ICEention Center, refuse to leave until arrested. I love this. Do you guys want to watch a video of a Democrat member of Congress closed fist punching a federal law enforcement officer? I do. All right. Well, we've got this video, this article here from Gateway Pundit. DHS releases visitation guidelines to shut down Democrat narrative, says members of Congress cannot break the law.
Starting point is 00:47:46 They included this video from Homeland Security. Let's roll the tape. Here's in the red. That's a Democrat rep. She's a congresswoman? Yeah, it's, what is it, LaMonica McIver? So here she's shoving feds, shoving them. Throwing elbows in there. Already. Assault with physical contact is a crime with an eight-year maximum penalty.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Now watch this. See her fist right here? No! That was a slam, but there's more. Boom! I wonder who she is. Damn. But wait for it.
Starting point is 00:48:21 There it is. Watch this. This guy right here. It's going to replay the video. She's it is. Watch this. This guy right here, it's going to replay the video. She's right here. Watch this. You see that? That's a closed fist punch on a federal law enforcement officer.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Just because you're weak doesn't mean it's not a crime. Look at that. She punched him. I hate when women hit men. I think it's okay because we're not as strong as them. So, lock her up yeah right to jail wait the best part about this headline was congressmen have to follow the law and i'm like whoa no way thank you for making that clear the funny thing is uh check out the
Starting point is 00:48:58 cnn clip i want to play the cnn clip for you but there's no reason for it. Nothing happened other than the chaos that they created themselves. Anything we were pushed and shoved and found in a very vulnerable situation for the three of us. But there's no reason. And McIver actually said there's there's no video of any of that. Of course. And it's's like are you saying that it happened but nobody can prove it yeah so there you go and now we have this this video from today take a look at this Are they singing? Why do they always sing? Because they're developmentally disabled.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I just get it. They make buses that go to prison. Just put them all in a bus. So the attack from Democrats the other. This is last week. It was during a. Excuse me. They were bringing it up as a prison transport, as a prisoner transport. And so the crazy thing is.
Starting point is 00:50:15 On Reddit. These selective posts are incredible. They omit key details in the story and they say things like the mayor of Newark was there and he was talking with feds. Then he was inside asking why he couldn't come on the tour. And they said, because you're not a member of Congress. So he left. Then he was arrested for trespassing. The implication being that he peacefully walked up, talked to them and peacefully walked away and got arrested.
Starting point is 00:50:39 When, in fact, he was part of a violent mob storming through the gates. And then they arrested him for breaking into an ice facility these people live in a fake reality they don't watch the videos they don't actually read the stories and that's why they believe insane fake things it does make me wonder if they're dishonest or or just if they're actually uninformed or if they're just dishonest i think a lot of them are brainwashed. The people making the posts are intentionally deceiving. And the run-of-the-mill people... I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I'm going to say this. This Friday on The Culture War, we've got... I did a pre-recorded episode with Adam Conover. And I don't want to... You know, we talked for two hours. He did not know Trump never called Nazis fine people. No. I didn't know that he did not call them fine people. I didn't know that he
Starting point is 00:51:26 did not call them. So he believed out of context. He believed Trump literally said they're very fine, but people on both sides and to which I responded except for the neo-Nazis and white nationalists who should be condemned totally. And he went Trump said that and I went, holy crap. I pulled up Snopes right away.
Starting point is 00:51:42 His response was, I don't live in your bubble and I'm like, the news? Trump's speeches? Joe Biden launched a campaign off of this saying Trump called Nazis fine people. He never did to this day. I sued for that. And we had Tara Palmieri, who was on a couple weeks ago. She also did not know.
Starting point is 00:52:00 She genuinely believed Trump did this. And it's a hoax. They're lying in the corporate press. and the activists are lying every single day. They are scumbags. But then you get people like I think people like Adam. He's not a journalist. He's a comedian. His news is third hand, not even second hand.
Starting point is 00:52:19 He's getting news not from the source, but from pundits who are intentionally lying. So you've got the corporate press lying and they omit and obfuscate things. Then you've got the pundits selectively choosing how to tell the story. And then people like Adam, I'm not trying to be a dick. He was a nice guy. It was a fun show. It was contentious. But then not knowing the truth, no wonder he's upset about these things.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He genuinely thinks Trump's a fascist who is calling Nazis good people. Never happened. Same thing with Hassan Piker. I'll say this as often as I can. Hassan was thinking he was making fun of me going, what do you mean? Oh, but he's not from Maryland. Like he's from DC.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Of course he's from Maryland. Yo, Hassan genuinely thought this guy was from Maryland. Hassan also said America deserved 9-11. Hassan also said Hezbollah are great people. So I don't know how serious I take this. Hassan also said America deserved 9-11. Hassan also said Hezbollah are great people. So I don't know how serious I take this all for. Hassan also said there are babies that are settlers. Yeah. He just hates Jews, let's be honest. I think he's someone who's disingenuous.
Starting point is 00:53:13 That was wild, dude, when he was like, babies are settlers too. Wait, Hassan was the first person to make me lose my mind on a Piers Morgan debate. Like, I'm pretty chill and composed, but it was the day that Hamas released a video of hirsch the american in captivity and i was so sensitive already he's like yeah well he deserves it and they don't care about the hostages and you don't care about the hostages and i i lost it i
Starting point is 00:53:35 was so emotional and i hate him for getting under my skin like that but i just realized he's one of genuinely like the worst people i know like earlier I was jokingly talking about Myron Gaines. Like some people are genuinely stupid and then some people are just evil. And Hassan is one of those people who pretends he knows what he's talking about but will always choose a side of evil. He's also stupid. Indeed. And stupid. He definitely is stupid.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I'll give you a good example. But I think he's very malicious. One of my favorite examples which like look I hate to bring the guy up and get into it again. I know some people don't care. But let me explain the evil of these like these whatever whatever you want to call these people, the woke, the cult. The woke right. Mr. Beast put out a video where he was curing cataracts or he was giving people cataract surgery to cure blindness. It was like 10 grand a pop.
Starting point is 00:54:29 I thought it was kind of cringe that you've got all these people who a simple surgery can cure their blindness and only a game show could pay for it. Hassan made a video where he said this, and I said, he's completely right. It is idiocracy, nightmare dystopia that in order to cure your blindness, an easy, simple procedure to make you see again, only a game show can do it. So I reacted to what he was saying, saying Hassan's completely correct about this. And I pointed out that, you know, at some point in my analysis, I said the military industrial complex is bad. They want us involved in every war. They lobby the government to make wars. We haven't declared war since World War Two.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And then I said we should not be involved in the war in Ukraine. Hassan responded in a reaction to my video saying, yes, the military industrial complex is bad. But then when I said that we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine, he laughed and mocked me. My point is, there's no logic or morality behind what he's saying. It is cult like adherence to what their tribe says. So when they go, the military industrial complex is bad, what they're actually saying is, we don't like the attacks on certain groups in the Middle East. When I then say, so because of this, we shouldn't be involved in any of these wars, like Ukraine. No, the cult is in favor of the war in Ukraine. So
Starting point is 00:55:42 it's contradictory. It makes no sense. But they're on the side of whatever the machine state tells them to be on. It's true. Yeah. I think these people really believe that ICE is Nazis. I drove through a protest, an ICE protest the other day. So I turned up the new Kanye song. Oh, my God. Did you really?
Starting point is 00:55:57 Oh, yeah. It's a window down. It's a, you know, it's a banger. Well, listen, there are leftists that are making open threats. If you see anyone playing this song, there was a guy that I retweeted a tweet that he said, anyone playing this song deserves to get the hell beat out of him, and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And I was like, look, that didn't work out in 2015, 16, 17, and 18. Didn't make Nazis go away. Why do you think it's going to work now? And of course, he had a bunch of reasons. Wait, what was that headline on his we'll go we'll go we'll go to that one it is it is really sad on the yay thing that um he genuinely doesn't un like yay is a good example of a guy who thinks he's smarter than everybody but is not and uh and i genuinely mean it he makes he makes good music he's made a lot of really great music. And because of that,
Starting point is 00:56:47 he thinks he's smarter than everybody. What happens? When he encounters a problem, he's got yes men blowing smoke up his ass. Very true. In his new song, it's sad.
Starting point is 00:56:56 It is a very, very sad song. I know everyone's like, there's a lot of outrage over the lyrics because, you know. It's about Hail Hitler? Yeah, like, and then he's like saying he's a Nazi and he's got people chanting and stuff. And I'm like, bro, listen to what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:57:10 He says, they took my kids from me. As they should. And all of my fame and all my money, I can't see my children. I can't get my kids back. I can't even see my children. You know, I half agree, half disagree. He's exemplified through what he's done over the past couple of years why he's not getting access to his kids. If he wasn't so arrogant, it's actually quite simple.
Starting point is 00:57:32 A rich and famous person who is being denied access to his kids, like Ye, need only do one thing. Hey, y'all, man, they're telling me I can't see my kids anymore, so I'm going to put out a free concert for you guys outside the courthouse. I want y'all to show up with with me and we're going to sing a song called Let Ye See His Kids. It's going to be peaceful. It's going to be fun. I hope you guys come. I think someone hasn't advised him
Starting point is 00:57:50 to take a more diplomatic approach. I'm sure they have. Nope. I don't think so. You don't think anyone has? Nope. Because Ye surrounds himself with people who are terrified of him
Starting point is 00:57:58 because he's Ye and he's super rich. And then he says, man, this is like, I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to run for president and go, yeah, you do it. That's right. And they just, this is like i'm gonna do what i want to do i'm gonna run for president go yeah you you do it that's right and they just it's this is what happens this is what happens he thinks he's smarter than everybody so you know maybe he was advising he shuts them down but he
Starting point is 00:58:13 writes a song saying they won't let me see my kids even with all my fame and money i'm like bro with all that fame and money you get your kids back i see a lot of the people look at elon musk yeah well besides his first son but um everyone that's ever tried to disagree with Ye has always just been screenshotted and posted on his Instagram and dragged by all of his yes men. So anyone that tries to talk sense into him just immediately gets dismissed if they don't fit his narrative. And I don't know. I don't empathize that much with him not seeing his kids. Like, I never want someone to be in that predicament. But then I hear stories like he has Northwest and he brings Andrew Tate over while he has his daughter in the house. And like, Lord knows what they're talking about. And then Kim has to come and pick her up. Or he's walking around with his naked wife in front of his four-year-old son. Like, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:58:56 You're traumatizing. But he should be able to see his children. And if they're denying him any access at all, that's wrong in my opinion. I'm sure there's a reason why. You think maybe he's not telling North, oh, your mom's a whore? You can always have supervised access to your own children.
Starting point is 00:59:14 But I think... But he does. He just had North with Andrew Tate, like a month ago. I don't know if they were even in the same space, but... My point is, I half agree. The dude's making a song saying, I can't see see my children and they don't know how I'm feeling.
Starting point is 00:59:28 So I became the villain. It's like, OK, well, like you're exemplifying why people don't want to give you like have you with your kids. Let's jump to the story from The Guardian. Left wing pundit Hassan Piker says U.S. border agent stopped and questioned him on Trump and Gaza. Bravo, U.S. border agent. I'm going to say bravo as well, because this is this is not a story. It's going massively viral. And I would give this on a scale of one to 10, where one is why are we even talking about it? And 10 is heavens help me. It's the end of the world. Five would be that middle ground where you're like, maybe it's a story. This is a five. This
Starting point is 01:00:01 is a five. Let me read. Assange Piker, a U.S.-born progressive political commentator, said he was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and questioned about his opinions of Donald Trump, Israeli war policy, as he returned to the country on Sunday from France. Piker recounted the incident on his Twitch livestream on Monday, said he was led to a private room at Chicago O'Hare Airport and interviewed for nearly two hours about his political views. Quote, the goal here is to put fear into people's hearts, to have a chilling effect on speech that like the government is unafraid of intimidating you.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Does this stop me from saying whatever the F I want to say? Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. But the reason why I wanted to talk about it was to give you more insight into what the government is doing and to speak out against this sort of stuff. So like Cenk Uygur made a post about obviously it's his's his uncle, and he was saying, like, this is wrong. I don't know that. I would just like to say this.
Starting point is 01:00:50 There is a component where I will give—I say this is a 5 out of 10 in terms of, does it warrant its own headline or anything? Not really. Should Guardian have written about it? No. But there's a conversation to be had around the U.S. government's use of the quadruple S security screening for people, putting people on no fly lists, a bunch of other stupid stuff. I don't understand what the point of stopping Hassan Piker for the most part is because they know who he is and the dude talks about his opinions on streams 24-7. That being said, this happens to everyone all the time. And the reason why it's not a story, in my opinion, is, well, I mean,
Starting point is 01:01:33 that's it. It's like extremely common, extremely common. Probably happens like, I don't know, 50 times a day to random people. If you want to argue they should not be doing that, I say, okay. So for me, when I was working for Vice, I got stopped all the time. I had that, they stole a USB drive from me. Yeah, this is a crazy story. I was going through, I was at LaGuardia, and I had a camera bag, and that's basically all I was traveling with. It was a backpack, it was kind of small, and I had like three shirts, three that's basically all I was traveling with. It was a backpack. It was kind of small. And I had like three shirts, three pairs of underwear, three changes of socks, minimal stuff. Had contact lenses and then camera equipment.
Starting point is 01:02:13 And in it, in the top, inside, in a pouch that's kind of hard to find, was a USB drive that my friend, a journalist who was working in the Middle East, had given me with video footage he wanted backed up. They stopped me from going through the gate, through the security, and said, you've got to stand right here and wait for a screening. As my bag was being taken and run through the x-ray, I said, that's my bag right there. And they're like, it'll be fine. I said, no, I want to be able to see it. They wouldn't let me stay within view of my bag. And then after about five minutes, someone came up and said it was okay and I could go through now. And then when I grabbed my bag, USB was gone. No. And you didn't go back? I asked where I went. They said, well, you're talking about. No way. Yeah. Wow. So I'll say this.
Starting point is 01:02:55 I've, I, I, I've traveled to a bunch of, uh, I was in Egypt, I was in Morocco, flew back to the country. And when I went through customs, they looked at my passport, rifled through it, saw a bunch of Arabic and said, come with me. And then I got detained and questioned. So what's happening now is, with this story, they're acting like Trump is targeting them. This is normal.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Oh my God. It's not good. I'm sure Trump called the border agents on your phone. Like what? My point is this. I'm not a fan of them stopping American citizens
Starting point is 01:03:23 to interrogate them about, you know, whatever. But it's not the craziest thing in the world to be asked about what you were doing, why you were doing it. Wait, why aren't you a fan? An American citizen doesn't make you a good person by default. A fan of being stopped and detained and questioned over your political views because we have a First Amendment. But I don't think it was over his political views. I honestly think it was a random search.
Starting point is 01:03:41 I think he's making it a political story. That's what I'm saying. I'm not a fan of the idea that just because I went to Egypt or Morocco that they're going to pull me aside and that's the qualifying reason. Did you accept any gifts from this country? All of this stuff. Did you meet with any groups? Were you near livestock? That's the first one. And I just
Starting point is 01:03:57 said, no, I work for a media company. We were covering the revolution, blah, blah, blah. And then they asked me about Morocco. Why are we there? I was like, it's called News Exchange. It was a big corporate news event. And then they, I had to ask, answer a bunch of questions. And I was like, literally, you know, it was, it was like, listen, brother, all of this is on my Twitter.
Starting point is 01:04:15 All of this is on vice.com. I hope you watch it and tell your friends. So when this happened to him, it's like the story here is he's blaming Trump for a thing that's been happening for decades and is not new information and he's not special because of it. He thinks he's very special because his mommy told him he is. Well, he's doing this because it gets him attention on
Starting point is 01:04:33 his chat. He's a very anti-American and he's made remarks on his stream that, oh, you know, I think that the government is going to arrest me or whatever. He's alluded to those kind of thoughts and those ideas. He also said America deserved 9-11. I'll just repeat that one more time. He said babies
Starting point is 01:04:49 are settlers. And Hezbollah's good. The point is, he's monetizing this. And who cares if rape happened on October 7th? His words. The point of him doing this stuff is because he'll get his chat to give him money. So the socialist is monetizing the fact that he wants to make himself seem like he's politically persecuted.
Starting point is 01:05:08 I got to give him a shout out, though. He doesn't produce 100% Trump slop. And for that, he gets a respect point from me. You're right. He dressed as a cute little waitress one time and painted his nails and danced on TikTok. I don't care about that either. My point is there are a lot of these progressive and liberal pundits that the only thing they ever do is spam blast Trump videos. Hundred percent of their videos, it's just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. So the bar is low then.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Yeah, I mean, relatively. But Hassan makes a channel where he talks about news and I think he's got bad opinions. I think he does grift and I think he's a hypocrite. But it may just be because he's dumb and he's arrogant. I love how this is his version of a compliment. It is. My point is I don't know that he's trying to intentionally game the system to manipulate, make money, grift off boomers. I think he's genuinely just stupid and arrogant. So that combination, what happens is, he talks about all the different news stories.
Starting point is 01:06:10 You go to his YouTube channel, you'll see all of his clips are like, big news story, big news story. I respect that. It's always the worst. It is. When he's wrong, he doubles down and gets angry. Instead of being like, oh, I was wrong about that.
Starting point is 01:06:21 That's my issue. It's true. Yeah, and like his surface level view of politics like the military industrial complex is bad how is he like 30 oh he's not that young i thought he was i don't know i swear to you i thought he was 21 how's he because that's how he acts no he's not 21 he's i literally thought he was 20 he looks like a never mind i'm not even gonna start let's let's get his actual too much attention we're giving this guy a big shout. He's getting a big promotion here on TGSRL. Yeah, seriously.
Starting point is 01:06:46 You're welcome. He was, he's 33. Wow. Yeah. I promised you I thought he was like a college boy. No, no, no. He's an old guy. He's an old guy.
Starting point is 01:06:55 It is fascinating how the Young Turks have basically just like died completely. The only person I knew from it was Cenk. And I only know Cenk because I debated him on Piers Morgan. Otherwise, like I don't even. You know, they put out videos that get like 5,000 views. Sick. Is she doing something new? That's like me banned on TikTok.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Maybe. Panel, like a view or something. Where'd I see that? Yeah, you know, we were trying to do that. We never got it off the ground. It's hard. It's hard to build all these projects, man. I wish.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Yeah. Because we got a bunch of great personalities, a great talent, great moms talk about politics. You said moms? Moms. Yeah, we've had this project on the back burner for a while, which is basically The View, but for like sane women. Oh, everyone's doing it now. Yeah, because The View is awful.
Starting point is 01:07:36 So they're like, man, if people watch this, imagine if the women had like the mental capacity to hold a conversation. PBD just started it. I haven't gotten myself to it. Oh, he's doing it? I think it's PBD. Anna Kasparian.
Starting point is 01:07:48 She's on it? I mean, I can't say. Wow, that's apocalyptic for the young turds. A lot of people are working on it. Like, I know people that are, like, about to. I've been asked to be on all of them. And I'm like, don't love the panel. You know, let me just say this.
Starting point is 01:08:00 We've been talking about doing that for, like, a year, and we failed to execute. Everybody heard the great idea and it's no surprise they're doing it just like did you guys know this? Pop-Tarts announced a Pop-Tart ice cream sandwich. And it was like
Starting point is 01:08:15 it was about two months. Bobby Kennedy, shut your ears. It was about two months after I announced on this show that we were filming a vlog where we were making Pop-Tart ice cream sandwiches where we were making pop tart ice cream sandwiches where we would take two pop tarts and put vanilla ice cream in between and we filmed it and we were just like that's a fun thing to do and i know you're listening pop tarts i know you're listening and i thank you for making those uh i was about to say where's your equity i thought
Starting point is 01:08:39 he was gonna sue yeah what pop tart no i'm excited yeah that's nice dude wait i have a very serious question no serious question. No, serious question. Which Pop-Tarts are you putting outside the ice cream? Oh, first of all. Only one right answer. The best one is the brown sugar cinnamon. Yep.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Yep. And then we tried blueberry, strawberry. Absolutely not. We have cookies and cream. Still not. And that one actually just tastes like an ice cream sandwich. And then we tried fudge. But everybody ate the s'mores because we bought 1,000 Pop-Tarts.
Starting point is 01:09:06 The s'mores all got eaten instantly. Do you have any s'mores? They're gone. No. Good luck. I haven't had a Pop-Tart since I was nine. I haven't had one since middle school. Bro, there's 1,000 Pop-Tarts downstairs.
Starting point is 01:09:14 I've seen the wall. There's a Pop-Tart wall downstairs. Wait, really? I missed this wall. I love s'mores Pop-Tarts. That's why I'm so fat in middle school. Everybody ate them all. Literally a chubby little wall.
Starting point is 01:09:23 The first one that got eaten was the s'mores. I think the brown sugar cinnamon is the classic. It's the best. They are the best. No, the strawberry I loved and hated at the same time, but the s'mores, I mean, it was just so good. I can tell. So since we shifted from Hassan to Pop-Tarts,
Starting point is 01:09:35 the view count's been going up. Yeah? Well, Hassan is pretty boring. Yeah, that's like a direct correlation. People are like, I don't know what you're talking about, Hassan. What is it? Oh, Pop-Tarts. Tell me more.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Leave your thoughts below on which Pop-Tart's the best. Not sponsored by Pop-Tarts. Oh, man. All right, you guys ready? From the Wall Street Journal, AOC isn't ruling anything out, including the White House. Let's go. From your mouth to God's ears. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:09:59 AOC. Let's go. Where do we donate? I mean, the fact of the matter is i do think that i like i'm the guy over here that's like look man she's charismatic and people will vote for um i know that there are people that disagree with me uh but i do think that she i think that of the democrats that are uh viable i think that she actually does have a oh really really good more than Kamala? Oh yes, oh yes. Absolutely. Kamala Harris doesn't have the charisma. Kamala Harris
Starting point is 01:10:28 is bad at speaking. She has bad policy because she doesn't actually have a foundation. Does AOC have policy? The point about AOC is AOC hasn't gone back and forth from being super progressive to being a, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:44 kind of a conservative. You know, she doesn't flip up. And she doesn't have the rumors about how she got into politics that Kamala Harris does. I hear you, Phil. But I counter with this story. Post-millennial. Quote, this woman has done nothing. AOC's constituents bash rock star rep for being absent in her district.
Starting point is 01:11:04 She's hated by her own district. She's absent. She gets elected as a rep and then goes national politics instantly and ignores what her district actually needs or wants. I think. Flying around on private jets talking about oligarchy. Oh, yeah. Yep. I'm going to say this because I've said it before and it bears repeating.
Starting point is 01:11:26 The three reasons, three main reasons she can't win. She is short. She is young. Physically short? Physically short. How short is she?
Starting point is 01:11:36 She's like, what, 5'6"? I'm 5'4". You can't be president. What the hell? You do know that people vote based on height, right? Okay, so I wear high heels. Nobody knows.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Doesn't work. That's why Rhonda Santis was accused of wearing those. I'm challenging you on that. It's true. I'll be president at 5'5". Good luck. You saw Rhonda Santis wearing those weird boots? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Yeah, with the heels in them? Yeah. Because a major factor in elections is the height of the candidate. That's why, who was it uh kamala wanted a stool or something i think attractiveness yes i don't think it's height height absolutely that's why kamala wanted a smaller podium because she didn't want to look small behind a podium because height matters it's not not my opinion it's true her her her youth let me see absolutely a huge issue and a high-pitched voice well her youth for sure a high-pitched voice. Well, her youth, for sure.
Starting point is 01:12:25 And high-pitched voice. And maybe her lack of policies, and maybe her horrible policies, if any, and maybe her extremism and completely alienating all the moderates. AOC is 5'2"? Okay, that's really short. She's not 5'2". That's way too short. She's like 5'7". Oh, she's 5'4". Split the baby in there. But you don't look at her and go, oh, she's a short girl. I've never looked at her 5'7". Oh, she's 5'4". Split the baby in there.
Starting point is 01:12:45 But you don't look at her and go, oh, she's a short girl. I've never looked at her and been like, oh, she's tiny. Listen, listen. When consultants go to politicians, they tell them exactly the clothing they have to wear because you might be saying like, well, who cares if I wear a red tie or a blue tie? And they're like, you will lose 0.7% if you wear the red tie. And that's going to translate to a million people james madison was 5'4 indeed but you're talking about before media before tv so you take here's a great example the debate between nixon and jfk i think it was
Starting point is 01:13:16 was it nixon and jfk on the radio they said nixon won there were people who listened on the radio were like wow he was amazing on tv they said jf JFK won because Nixon was sweaty and disheveled looking. Didn't shave. Yep. Had a five o'clock shadow. Just looked bad. And because of that. Imagine Biden on a radio debate.
Starting point is 01:13:33 They would think that the radio was glitching. They would think the radio was glitching. So AOC, if she runs for president, I think this is a major issue for any woman. And I know you mentioned, uh, Margaret Thatcher, Phil parliamentary system systems, vote,
Starting point is 01:13:49 vote, don't vote for candidates. They vote for parties. True. So we, in the United States, asking the American people to elect a five foot four young shrill woman is not going to happen. There are so many reasons.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I don't think she'll win presidency and her height was definitely not on my list, but I hear you. You can't lie with the stats. That's what leftists do. I'd like to see her debate. She can't. She seems too hysterical. And by the way, this is a true point and I always get heat for this by saying it as a woman. The only woman who could win a presidency has to be somewhat
Starting point is 01:14:20 masculine because you can't have an emotional, overly hormonal, even a maternal arguably woman in office because genuinely like genetically we are too empathetic we're too caring i feel like women always give people the benefit of the doubt and you can't really have a weak president you're saying someone masculine like michelle obama yes okay no no seriously on a real note michelle obama gives me masculine vibes yes she's tall, she's built, attitude-wise, she's very firm. AOC's very feminine.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Let me read this for you. The study Height and Success in Politics by Timothy A. Judge and Daniel M. Cable, published in the Journal of Psychological Science, found that taller individuals tend to earn more and are more likely to attain leadership positions, including politics. Additionally, in a 2003 study titled Candidates, Physical Attributes and Electoral Success,
Starting point is 01:15:07 Gregory A. Huber and John S. Lipinski found that taller U.S. presidential candidates have historically won a majority of elections, reinforcing the idea that voters may subconsciously
Starting point is 01:15:16 associate hype with leadership. This is like a well-known thing. I thought everybody understood. I think for men. Definitely for men. It's, look. I actually think tall women, I don't want to say they're unattractive because it's not true. Women
Starting point is 01:15:29 trying to be men lose. Women have a better chance of winning if they try to be matriarchal instead of patriarchal. But they don't understand this. All of the data being presented to them on elections is being presented largely from a male perspective. From male candidates and they're trying to apply it to women.
Starting point is 01:15:46 You see this with AOC at a Bronx rally where she ran out fist bumping and going like, whoa, whoa, whoa. But her voice, it's not a deep, thundering, charismatic, you know, they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom. Here's what I think. Every time I picture a woman in woman in office i think how would like hamas as example view them how would putin treat them how would she respect them i think like how were you gonna sit at the big boys table and be able to hold your ground you want to laugh as much
Starting point is 01:16:17 as i can't stand her i don't mind hillary clinton that much because she's so masculine to me that i actually think she could hold her ground because she's kind of like a dude deep down because she's so masculine to me that I actually think she could hold her ground because she's kind of like a dude deep down and she's still what did she get 62 million votes something what what was it like I would have taken Hillary over Kamala any day I I I I agree with the left on you call it an inherent sexism or whatever you call it that prevented her from winning not completely I think she's just despised so much. But you combine that with, look at the, I mean, you've got the anecdotal man in the street interviews and there's hundreds of them where they straight up interview people
Starting point is 01:16:56 like, you know, vote for Kamala. I'm like, I ain't voting for a woman. Tons of those videos went viral during the election cycle. I think if she was more respectable, I don't think that would be the argument. Listen, obviously there are degenerates who are like, I hate women. Probably Andrew Tate's followers. But otherwise, you? Not you.
Starting point is 01:17:16 There are a lot of people in this country that outright say, I would not vote for a woman. You don't have to hate women to say, oh, I wouldn't want a woman president. But I feel like it's easy to say when there's not a good candidate representing women. Probably pretty easy to say when there's a good candidate. Especially when Kamala's the example. I mean, come on. It's humiliating to all of us. AOC's not a good candidate either. She's not.
Starting point is 01:17:33 I give her a C plus, B minus. Phil says she's got charisma, but it's limited. It's nowhere near the amount you'd need for a president. Not even a senator, honestly. But she might be able to beat Chuck Schumer. All she's got to do is primary him. For sure. God, Chuck spoke in my district in Nassau County.
Starting point is 01:17:51 He got booed. It was so funny. I spoke right after him, and it was like, yay! And then Chuck came out. They're like, boo! I was like, it's my district. Michelle Obama, I think, would have been able to do well maybe six, seven years ago.
Starting point is 01:18:04 I don't think she's got it today. No. And you know what she's really scared of? The reason Michelle's never going to run is because she, I think, she really hates that she's called a man. Really? Yeah. I mean, that's got to. It's already out there.
Starting point is 01:18:18 It's not going to come out more. It's already so out there. Really? I feel like everyone said it at some point. She's out of the public eye generally. Right? Like for the most part, she's out of the public eye generally. For the most part she's not in the news every day. If she was in the news, she's on it for her
Starting point is 01:18:30 failure of a podcast. Which she should stop doing because she's doing nothing good for herself. She has made some of the most terrible for her own image gaffes that I can think of. She said, as a black man. I was like, oh, Freudian slip.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Finally told us the truth. And when she called, she said, I can't sleep at night over Trump's deportations. Like, honey, what did your husband do? She also said, oh, you know, it's really expensive to live at the White House. And was like complaining that she is about the cost of living at the White House. Oh, it's so hard to have a stylist. What woman could win?
Starting point is 01:19:01 I don't want a woman to win, but I would say Tulsi. I don't see... I love Tulsi. I don't think she could win? I don't want a woman to win, but I would say Tulsi. I love Tulsi. I don't think she could win today. I don't think America's ready for a female president. I think that if the race, 2024 race, was Tulsi versus Trump, Tulsi would have won. Tulsi's temperament is very even. She does not get, even when she was excoriating excoriating kamala harris and just ending her career she was very even-tempered when she was excoriating hillary clinton when clinton came after and she
Starting point is 01:19:32 was calling her called her the uh the the rot that's in the democrat party she was very very even-tempered it wasn't she wasn't excitable yeah and her her history as a an officer in the in the military she's's a lieutenant colonel. I take it back. Tulsi would not have won. I take it back. Let me reassess and explain. Right now, going forward, if Tulsi were the Democratic nominee for 2028, she has a very, very good chance of beating whoever the right musters up.
Starting point is 01:20:03 And you can take a look at her her accolades her demeanor the way she handles politics and it explains why one she is not short she is physically fit she's uh was she a major well lieutenant colonel she's a colonel lieutenant colonel lieutenant colonel so she's got military service she's got a a um strong demeanor in her voice. She's moderate. So the reason why I say I don't think she could have won in 24 is because the Democratic Party is too psychotic and the fringe left would have canceled her. They wouldn't allow it.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I just don't think she would have beat Trump. Maybe someone else. You couldn't beat her in 24. The reason why probably, well, there's a reason why Trump brought her on. Trump and RFK got Trump a lot of support. Yeah, no, undoubtedly. Because with Trump and, I'm sorry, with Tulsi and RFK, he basically said to the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, this is your only option.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Look what they've offered you. And that's how he wins. But it was still like it's still relatively close you know people like to say well oh but trump got a landslide because the electoral college or whatever look at the actual votes it was still close 2028 without trump democrats have nobody tulsi gabbard's on the right now all of the best people democrats could have had they just destroyed and that's why i'm saying 2024 they couldn't have won with Tulsi because look at how they destroy their candidates. And then only the sycophant garbage D-listers make it.
Starting point is 01:21:29 I think it's just, my point of bringing up Tulsi's name earlier was that it's an example of which females in politics succeed. And Tulsi, I don't think stoic is the right adjective because she's not stoic. She's actually, she has a great personality, but she walks a very fine line between like her feminine side and her like badass side.
Starting point is 01:21:50 I think she does a good job. She's very intelligent. She knows how to project it, but not in a way where she's trying to one up a man, but like she belongs at the table. She demands the respect, but not in like a bitchy way. Well, I think that comes from the fact that she is used to being in positions of authority and also like i said i think measured
Starting point is 01:22:10 is the is a really great word to describe her she's not his you know she's not excitable like nikki got very frustrated in her debates and i was like let's jump to this story for the new york post democrats have abandoned men who just want to get laid and have fun. That's great. Vice DNC Chair David Hogg says, okay, let's hear this. So, not to bore people, but to get into the bureaucracy of the DNC, we have a gender balance rule at the DNC because, of course, we do. Because, of course, we do.
Starting point is 01:22:41 By the way, the Republican Party does, too. If the chair is a male, then the way, the Republican Party does too. If the chair is a male, then the vice chair has to be a female. Well, what's interesting is that's even more progressive than our vision, which is that the chair doesn't count towards the gender balance rule that we have. Frankly, I don't even know if it makes sense for us to have the gender balance rule anymore in this day and age because I want to focus on whoever's just best at the job. Great. At this point, that's my idea.
Starting point is 01:23:03 That's not even the clip related to the story. So I don't know what New York Post is on about. But I do love this. We have this one. Vigilant Fox says David Hogg gets a huge reaction from Bill Maher after saying Democrats need to reconnect with young men who just want to get laid and have fun. Let's maybe this is the clip. Right now, what I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody who feels who even if they don't is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody who feels,
Starting point is 01:23:28 who even if they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they're going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated. And what's interesting about this moment is it feels like the two parties in some senses have flipped, where, you know, Republicans used to be the judgmental assholes in many ways. And since many Democrats, despite us, I would say for most of us coming from the right place of wanting to do the right thing, we've created a culture where we say, well, if you say the wrong thing, you're excommunicated. And that's just not how human beings work. Nobody is perfect. But ultimately, what we have to do
Starting point is 01:23:58 here is figure out how to bring people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing the future of this country and helping young people especially get by so that they're able to focus on their lives and getting with a young woman or something like that instead of how are they going to pay their rent, for example, or how are they working their two jobs. Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun. David Hahn, for President of the United States of America. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Thank you. Here's what I want to say about this. You know what? The first thing I thought when I saw this clip was Bill Maher gets around 40,000 viewers in the key demo. Most of his viewers are older, like all cable TV. Who is David Hogg preaching to? I'm not saying it was wrong for him to go on a show like Bill Maher. I mean, older voters vote and they're very powerful. That being
Starting point is 01:24:52 said, in 10 years, when Bill Maher's audience, when Fox News's audience, CNN's audience, MSNBC's audience have passed on and are not voting, I'm trying to be rude there is going to be a political earthquake in this country and the country is going to shift so far right people's heads will spin and i say this because of that real clear politics aggregate that showed every age bracket 70 and under supports trump or the 40 to 49 was tied for support. But 70 plus was Trump minus 14. That means if you take all 70 plus individuals and say don't vote, Trump wins in a landslide every single time. That's so interesting because I feel like the younger generation of liberals. When I say liberals, I don't mean liberals.
Starting point is 01:25:39 I mean like the woke mob. They're so loud that it's just hard to believe that. Because they're the ones that are like parading and protesting. And he's conservative. Wow. Yeah, and they're so loud that it's just hard to believe that because they're the ones that are like parading and protesting and he's conservative wow yeah and they're finding jesus which is like the crazy news amen i know it's becoming cool that was so like i i think he knew what he was doing i think that was easy clickbait and i guess it worked because that was a cringy like i'm i'm pretty young and i just cringed at that like that was not like something that people in a boardroom were talking about being like, you got to say it just like this. It sounds like what you tell an old guy so he can sound relatable to the younger generation. Like, young kids just want to get laid and have fun.
Starting point is 01:26:14 He's rebranding. Look, if you guys are talking about the delivery, that's fine. But the substance of what he was saying up until he said, you know, go out and have fun and get laid is true. The Democrats have lost young men because they have demonized young men for 20 years. They have lost an entire generation. The reason that Gen Z, Gen Z men in particular, are so much more right wing than millennials or even Gen X is because of the way that the Democrats have been treating Gen Z. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Men in general. Last election, young men ages 18 to 29 backed President Trump 56 to 42 compared to women who preferred Kamala Harris 58 to 41, according to Tufts University. You know, I think that women are going to have a snap back to the right. Men will not have a snap to the left.
Starting point is 01:27:08 And the reason is, and I mean this with no disrespect, men don't have a biological clock. So what happens right now is young guys, they want to hook up just like David Hogg says, right? He says they want to get laid. Well, the issue is for these guys, they're not thinking about when they have to have a family. They're just thinking like, man, the dating pool sucks right now.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Dating apps are whack and these women are all crazy liberals. So what's happening? There's a massive spike in virginity. It's not so much a spike in virginity. It's that young men are increasingly less likely to have ever had sex and less likely to have had sex within a span of a year for younger women with biological clocks. Once they get into the thirties, they're going to start going to guys. They're going to start looking for partners and saying, I want to have like, it's, it's time. Like I want to have a family. And the guys are going to be like, let's go on a date. They're going to go on a date. And
Starting point is 01:28:00 the guy's going to be like, I'm going to, I'm going to hook up tonight. And then she's going to say, black lives matter, LGBTQ fist bump. And he's going to say, thank you for your time and leave. And she's going to go, why? And he's going to say, lady, I've got 50 years till I die. And I can have a kid in any one of those years. I'm going to take my time and make sure I find a good mom for the family I want to have. And what's going to end up happening is women are going to face a pressure men will not face where they're going to have to capitulate to what the men want. I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm not saying that I'm attacking feminists. I'm saying this is a biological reality that I think we're going to start seeing. Young men are conservative, do support Trump, and they don't
Starting point is 01:28:39 care that women are liberals. And they largely are. In their their 30s guys are going to be like i'll just find a young conservative woman good luck and these women who are 30 are going to be like i don't get it many of them will give up have cats and grow old with no children and the women who want to have families are going to be like i was lied to feminism is bad i'm running out of time there are a lot of women that are you millennials or Gen X that are realizing that now that feel that way. They're like I went and I spent all this time having my career blah blah blah
Starting point is 01:29:11 and when I hit 35 I was like oh I want to have kids now and it was super hard to find someone or I had problems getting pregnant. There's a lot of women out there that are in that age block and they're like I was lied to. Feminism lied to me because they thought they could do everything at the same time.
Starting point is 01:29:29 They thought they could have a family and be a CEO and be a lawyer and blah, blah, blah. They thought they could do everything all at the same time. And you can't. You have to make decisions about what your priority is. It's true so i think i think feminism has been hijacked by this narrative where if you get married young you're like weak and you're codependent now i know the male is going to take away all of your rights and all of your big dreams and i feel like that's one extreme side and i feel like the other extreme is like motherhood takes away your opportunity of success and you
Starting point is 01:30:03 have to you have to be a full-time mom i think there's like a fine line to tread both you know i don't like listen i personally am a very hard worker i i have very big dreams and goals and one of my huge goals is to be a mother like i don't want a million kids but i definitely want at least two to three and i don't plan on stopping at all to pursue my career. I'll take a year off like most mothers do. I'm blessed enough that I can take a year off, whether it's like a financial burden or like, do I have help? Yes, my parents are very young.
Starting point is 01:30:34 My mom literally had me at 22, 23. But I'm not going to become that full-time stay-at-home mom. And a lot of women judge me for that. And a lot of men judge me for that. And I'm like, listen, to each their own own you need to do what works it's best for your family and not raise degenerate children that's fine but the point is you can't do them you can't do everything at the same time you do have to prioritize one or the other and when you especially if you've got a full-time job if you want to actually raise your kids you're going going to have to give up that full time job or else it's going to be someone else raising your kids, putting your kids in daycare, putting your kids in school all day long.
Starting point is 01:31:14 And that means it will be someone else spending more time with your children than you. So you can do your career, which if people want to do that, that's fine. But there are a lot of people that feel like after they've done that, they feel like I missed out on so much of my killed. You know what I'm saying? It's a choice. It's definitely a sacrifice. Like my mother stopped practicing law because she was like, I felt like I wasn't watching you and your brother grow up. And she doesn't regret that decision.
Starting point is 01:31:38 Of course not. I look at her and I'm always like, wow, like I could never, I don't want to do that. Like I would, like here's's there was a big debate um someone remind me of congresswomen who give birth are allowed to vote from home or something and i think anna paulina was against it and that i agree with i feel like if you're going to choose or you accidentally get pregnant while you're sitting in congress like yeah maybe you're not the best fit to be voting if you're not even present for half of it because you're raising a newborn at home and your priorities are there that's fine then yeah take a couple years off and you're
Starting point is 01:32:08 right i guess you can't do both but to go to tim's point about all the women that are shifting right i think the minute they realize that trump does not threaten my body my choice in fact the left does that let's not even talk about vaccines i feel like my was violated. Then really there's nothing to hate him about. He's not a misogynist. He's not the rapist they paint him to be. Women are just always being lied to by the left that Trump is going to take away your right to an abortion. And let me tell you something. Abortion's not a good thing.
Starting point is 01:32:37 It's just not. Women have been lied to by the left, not just about Trump. Women have been lied to by the left, like, like for all the time, like the entire, like the whole feminism, feminism argument is a lie, right? Like the idea that men and women, when it comes from the left, it's men and women are the same. You look at the way that China behaved, men and women dressed the same in China because everybody was equal and everybody was the same. And that's the same, uh, the's the same narrative that feminism has fed to women in the West. The same thing that the Chinese got about how everyone's the same and everyone is equal.
Starting point is 01:33:13 It's the same thing. It's just designed for a Western audience. Yeah, no thank you. Many women are not the same, not in sports, not physically, not mentally, not emotionally, not in any way are we similar. You meant to say grapist. Oh, yes. Sewer slide. not mentally, not emotionally, not in any way are we similar. You meant to say grapist. Oh, yes. Sewer slide.
Starting point is 01:33:30 Unalived. Unalived is my favorite. People comment on my TikTok, can you unalive yourself? And I'm like, why didn't you even know that was a thing? See, if you're going to do that, just go with the very deep lore. Say things like an hero. An hero. The fact that these terms exist proves people reject censorship they want to talk about these topics they don't want to hide from
Starting point is 01:33:53 them and they will find a way to do so whether or not you said true anyone will all right everybody we're gonna go to your chat so smash the like button share the show with everyone you know get your super chats and rumumble Rants in now. We're going to rate some of yours. And don't forget, we got that members-only call-in show at 10 o'clock at rumble.com slash timcastirl where Timcast members on the Discord are going to call in, talk to us and our guests.
Starting point is 01:34:17 Don't miss out. Let's see what y'all got to say. Grab some of your rants. Shane H. Wilder says, from your segment on Joe Rogan, it must be noted that Father George's, how do you pronounce that? LaMaitre,
Starting point is 01:34:30 first proposed the Big Bang to theorize how God created the universe. It was lauded by Pope Pius XII and Pope John Paul II, et cetera. You see, Joe Rogan said, if it comes to the Big Bang, I'm sticking with Jesus. Jesus just makes more sense.
Starting point is 01:34:44 Incredible. Sometimes people come back to life. He wasn't saying that he is Christian. He's saying that when he hears those two stories, one miracle is nuts. The universe was in the head of a pin and then exploded and everything just was. And Jesus is a story of a guy who came back to life.
Starting point is 01:35:01 And it's like, you don't even need to believe in miracles if you want to take a secular view of that. Sometimes people die and they get resuscitated. So he's not saying it was a miracle that Jesus was resurrected or anything, but interesting segment nonetheless. Alpha 2 Omega says, first, howdy people. I just watched the live culture war show today. The guest diss so bad. The guest diss so bad. I wish someone had asked him the breakfast question. Yeah. No point in wasting time with an NPC. I thought it was fun, though.
Starting point is 01:35:31 That's what you're going to get with liberals. The next one we're planning in about a month. I'm hoping we can get this set up. It's liberal versus conservative trivia. Oh, fun. Who do you think is going to win? According to who? We know.
Starting point is 01:35:43 What do you mean? Like who's judging? It's a trivia question oh oh facts oh conservative i'm uh you know it is going to be contestant selection obviously if we pick a bad lib who's not well read or well versed. However, that being said, I don't think you can be a modern colloquial liberal, as we call it, left tribal, if you actually know the truth, unless you're just lying. The problem then is if you're asked a fact-based question and you choose to lie, you will lose. That's the point of doing the, you know, we'll see. There's going to be questions like, you know, first see there's gonna be questions like you know first one will
Starting point is 01:36:27 just be about abrigo garcia you know in what year was abrigo garcia adjudicated to be a member of ms-13 that's a trick question he wasn't wrong oh 2019 by judge and then we just have the panel of judges and we'll show this on the screen that the document saying he was and they'll go that's not fair and i'll be like the court said he was we are not asserting that he was or wasn't we said when did a court adjudicate that he was so that's your your hint liberals it's not about your or my opinion did a court say he was did a judge say he was i love that yes that's all that matters interviews like that and like debunk the narratives well they're going to argue that he was, did a judge say he was? I love that. Yes, that's all that matters. You could just shoot out interviews like that and debunk the narratives. Well, they're going to argue
Starting point is 01:37:08 that he was never found to be a man. The evidence was no good. We didn't ask whether the evidence was good or not. We asked whether he was adjudicated as. Two different judges said yes. It's not an opinion. That factually happened. Facts don't care about your feelings.
Starting point is 01:37:23 Indeed. Alright, Joseph says, you're understating the tariffs. That factually happened. Facts don't care about your feelings. Indeed. All right. Joseph says, you're understanding the tariffs. 10% of the new ones on everything. 20% for fentanyl and 25% for steel and aluminum. 100% on EVs from Chips Act. The tariffs before Trump were 7.25 to 27.5. Indeed.
Starting point is 01:37:43 Indeed, indeed. Let's see what we got over here all right quantum strange corks is why are democrats so upset about the country being gifted a new air force one did they forget that france the statue of liberty to the usa too oh my god because i'll tell you why i think trump should say no one trump should not be accepting gifts from foreign governments. Imagine if Israel had purchased him an Air Force One. No, no, we don't want to be involved in that.
Starting point is 01:38:12 We don't want to show favoritism. And more importantly, I don't want the president, I voted for flying on a foreign constructed, I'm not saying it's a foreign paid vehicle, okay? American made, American paid. Trump's team is going to secure it, make sure everything's working properly. I don't trust foreign governments to assist in any way with building vehicles for the president. I thought you're not allowed to receive gifts.
Starting point is 01:38:35 Well, so essentially the argument there, what the narrative that I heard is that it's actually not going to Donald Trump. It's going to the Air Force. And the reason is because Boeing, he initially tried to get Boeing to redo Air Force One or to build two more Air Force One jets in his first presidency. And they started, but they're not going to be able to finish them by the end of his second presidency. So, but that's the whole point.
Starting point is 01:39:04 The problem is Boeing's not able to deliver to finish him by the end of his second presidency. So, but that's the whole point. The problem is Boeing's not able to deliver on what the government needs and what the government wants. So the problem, I don't know the details of why Boeing can't, but clearly it's an issue of red tape and of policy at Boeing and they're not following through.
Starting point is 01:39:23 I'm not asking Boeing to build anything right now. I mean, look, I'm not either. The space thing was a That's so pathetic on our end. He actually sent, if I understand correctly, he sent Musk to Boeing to try and help get rid of the unnecessary issues. I'm sure they like that. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:39:39 Yeah, the problem, it's not that it's just a gift. The reason is he needs to get an updated plane. Hey, your country is incompetent. Take ours, basically. It sounds villainous. You guys suck. But, you know, it's not going to Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:39:57 I personally, I don't think it's a good idea either. They shouldn't take it. I just feel like by the time they secure it, it'll take probably the same time as ours to be ready. I don't think so. Or will it ever even be secure? How is... I just, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:40:10 I personally would not. I don't know. But I don't think that Boeing is handling their business. Indeed. GoneFall says, the Tim Pool sorting beanie will tell you your true political affiliation. Gryffindor right, Hufflepuff center, or Slytherin left?
Starting point is 01:40:25 Wait, which one's right? Gryffindor right, Hufflepuff center, or Slytherin left? Wait, which one's right? Gryffindor. I always liked Hufflepuff. My view of it is like if you were to compare the Harry Potter houses like he's trying to do, Gryffindor would be right wing. Yeah, for sure. They're like mainstream conservatives
Starting point is 01:40:39 and then Slytherin was the Gropers. Hufflepuff is like the weird hippie Ian people. Like Ian sounds like Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff. Looks like Hufflepuff. Ian's probably watching at home being like, yeah. Yeah, but I think this is related to over the weekend, the woke right drama. These people are smarmy, deceptive scumbags.
Starting point is 01:41:09 They're playing semantic games. They are woke. And I call them the woke right. So here's the gist of it. People like James Lindsay. Here's the other thing about James. He sacrificed his career to call out woke academia, this cult-like psychotic nonsense. It's illogical.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Critical theory doesn't make sense. They say two plus two equals five. None of itotic nonsense. It's illogical. Critical theory doesn't make sense. They say two plus two equals five. None of it makes sense. And he called him out and he lost his career because of it. He can't work in academia. But he was also irrelevant to the right. Who cares about a former academic liberal guy? So he wasn't getting any traction. He's got family issues. James Lindsay. Yeah. now he's like, please let me back in. I can't do this. Apparently, people are saying he did an interview with New York Times. He's trying to get back into mainstream liberal space.
Starting point is 01:41:51 So he tried doing this thing where he said Christian nationalism is an op, where he attacked Christian nationalists. That does not mean Groeper. That's a different group, but there is some overlap with them. That failed. Nobody cared. He spam blasted it, pissed a bunch of people off because it was irritating and incoherent. And so he started getting like, people started saying, bro, you're nuts. He then started getting into it with people like Carl Benjamin,
Starting point is 01:42:16 ultimately fizzled out, lost all relevance and burned himself out. So now he's trying to do this thing called woke right, where he said Dave Smith, an anti-war libertarian, is woke. That makes literally no sense. Candace Owens, Arne McIntyre, even Matt Walsh is now being called woke right. Literally makes no sense. None of it is totally incoherent. What they're doing is they're creating a blanket term for anyone on the right that is outside of like con inc. And then what they did was at first they said it's because they're acting like they're woke, tried to create some criteria that was incoherent. They're trying to, this is what they did with alt-right. They said, they used the term alt-right to describe anybody who is just not a traditional conservative, tricked a bunch of
Starting point is 01:43:04 people into thinking alt-right meant new right. And then at the last minute, or not the last minute, but later on, publicly declared on the AP, alt-right means white nationalist. So all the people who had called themselves alt-right had retroactively just applied themselves white nationalist. There were people who were told alt-right meant like populist, anti-establishment. They put it in their Twitter profiles. They said that they told alt-right meant like populist, anti-establishment. They put it in their Twitter profiles. They said that they were alt-right. They tweeted this.
Starting point is 01:43:31 Five months later, AP says, by the way, alt-right means white nationalist. And then all of a sudden, all of those tweets, all those posts got highlighted by hate groups and other organizations saying these people have admitted they're white nationalists. That's what you've now got with James Lindsay, Colin Wright, Seth Dillon, many other individuals that have jumped on this bandwagon to label disparate political ideologies as one faction. The ADL has something called the heat map. It is hate, extremism, anti-Semitism, and terror. They say that right, right wing means white supremacist, right wing means anti-government, and right wing means all other. What?
Starting point is 01:44:10 White supremacists and anarchists, anti-government people, there's no overlap there. Like maybe there's an anarchist white supremacist. That's a different overlap. But the idea of an anarcho-capitalist anti-government guy being the same thing as the whites, this is what the woke do all the time. So here's why I describe these people, James Lindsay, as woke right. He is woke. What is woke? Cult-like adherence to the liberal social orthodoxy. That's why they're anti-military industrial complex, but pro-war. If it's the right war, makes no sense. This is why they say women with a Y, women with an X at different times. There is no coherent logic to it.
Starting point is 01:44:53 That's why it changes from time to time. And I would say it's a liberal, it's cult-like adherence to an ever-changing social orthodoxy. The reason why a lot of people refer to critical race theory as woke is because it is a dominant idea floating among woke people, but that could come and go. This critical race stuff didn't, wasn't, you know, in the early days of woke, we called it intersectional feminism.
Starting point is 01:45:19 It changed over time, but the cult, like the Me Too is a big component of it. Now Me Too isn't really relevant to what it means to be woke. Woke people fly Ukrainian flags. How does that make sense? What does that have to do with critical race theory? Nothing. So right now what we're seeing, this phenomenon, largely started by James Lindsay, but adopted by people like the Babylon Beasts, Seth Dillon, who these people won't stop talking about it. They are applying this phrase, woke right, to anybody seemingly
Starting point is 01:45:46 making no sense. Like, how does Dave Smith and Nick Fuentes have an overlap? Dave Smith's an anti-war libertarian Jewish guy and comedian. That's it. Nick Fuentes is a groiper. There's already words used to describe their political ideologies. So what happens now is these former liberals, I should say they're current liberals. They were upset over the woke cult bringing in ideas like gender theory and race theory. They said this will destroy liberalism and it will destroy our political faction. Stop doing it. But they were overpowered.
Starting point is 01:46:19 So what did they do? They adopted right wing talking points. Even some of them voted for Trump. That is to say, they are liberals who never disagreed with the tactics, but they disagreed, I should say, with the overt strategy, but they disagreed with the particular ideologies that were brought into the fault of liberalism because it was destructive. So they created a coalition with the populist right, and now that critical race theory and critical gender theory are largely being curtailed, light bulb, we now need to reaffirm, reestablish control over the liberal orthodoxy. How do we do that? Punish anyone outside of our space.
Starting point is 01:46:54 First, draw the battle lines. If you're to the right of Khan Inc., you are now woke right. That's the phrase we're going to describe you. Ah, ah, ah. Here's how I say it. They are woke people who adopted right- wing talking points so that they could control the liberal orthodoxy the way they wanted it to be. The best way to understand this is Dave Smith and Nick Fuentes have nothing in common,
Starting point is 01:47:18 except they're critical of the war in Israel in different ways. Candace Owens, she does celebrity gossip as well as she's critical of Israel. Oren McIntyre, he's like a civic nationalist. Mike Cernovich, Matt Walsh, these are like run-of-the-mill conservatives. They have started to label everybody because this is what the woke has always done. Create a term to describe your enemies, attack the perceived enemies, lie about what they believe. Another example is Colin Wright falsely framed my argument, claimed in a post that I said liberals in general are woke adjacent, never said that, and then showed past tweets of mine where I said I was a liberal. And then a bunch of, this is what the woke people do. They deceive and lie to get power
Starting point is 01:48:03 because cult-like adherence to their orthodoxy is what makes their political faction. I consider myself to be somewhat socially liberal, even economically liberal, and then conservative in some ways, maybe family stuff. Liberals used to be for that. I don't see how being a liberal precludes family stuff, but I digress. So I'm not opposed to liberalism, but it is completely illiberal to lie about the political beliefs of an entire groups of different ideologies to attack them as one. The fact that they are lying to steal political power and trick disaffected liberals into marching in lockstep with their liberal orthodoxy is wokeness.
Starting point is 01:48:43 And I can describe it another simple way. When Donald Trump won the first time, I said, I'm not a fan of him. I don't like the way he behaves. It's a lack of decorum. However, liberals stop making me defend Trump. They say, did you know that Donald Trump called Nazis very fine people? No, he didn't. Why are you defending him?
Starting point is 01:49:02 I'm not. I'm telling you the truth. That's where we're at now. These people who are trying to push this up against all conservatives and gatekeep are saying, Tim's not, Tim's, you claimed he was a liberal, but now he's just, he loves Trump so much. No, I just hate you for lying and accusing people of something they're not doing and creating fake, fake reasons to rally people against the populist coalition.
Starting point is 01:49:24 These are, these are smarmy scumbag liars. I get really heated on this because I'll tell you, the one thing I hate the most in everything, when the media lies, when the left lies, and if the right lies, I'll call them liars. And the fact that you've got these disaffected liberal types now trying to lie to steal political power to shore up their control over liberal orthodoxy,
Starting point is 01:49:44 this is what these people do. They are woke. They just don't like the tenets that were brought in by progressives. They would gladly have you fired from your job. They would gladly have all of these things, these bad things happen to you, but they just want it under their terms and they're going to cut everybody out. That's the game that's being played. I think they're looking at like the liberal side of things has crumbled because of these critical theories. How do we reestablish the liberal orthodoxy so that it adheres to a general, a moderate concept? Okay. They're lying about people, falsely accusing them of things they never said. That's the game.
Starting point is 01:50:25 That's the game. And you are going to end up, you already are. What we're already seeing is disaffected liberals who voted for Trump now believing the false narratives being pushed by these people. It's smarmy, scumbag BS. I digress. Wait, don't digress because I have a comment and a question for you. My comment is it's very telling that if you feel the need to label yourself with something politically, that's already giving like cult
Starting point is 01:50:48 like symptoms. Secondly, I think just given the last four years, it's been very transparent as, as to what characteristics the woke left have, but what specific characteristics would you say the woke right have? Because some people just like, can't tell the difference. Like you said, I've been guilty of it too, by the way, if people come off too anti-Israel, I'm like, oh, they're woke right. And then I'll be like, they're not woke right. They're just like anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sometimes. And so the problem then is the James Lindsay came out and said that their actual goal is to attack conservatism. They use the anti-Israel stuff of like Nick Fuentes to then make liberals go,
Starting point is 01:51:27 oh, I don't like that guy. He's bad. He's woke right. Then they lean and go, Dave Smith's also woke right. And they go, really? Like Nick Fuentes? Whoa.
Starting point is 01:51:35 And then they go, Matt Walsh too. And they go, whoa, Matt Walsh? Wow. They're all woke right. It's like what Matt Walsh works for the Daily Wire. On what basis are they woke right? There's none. It's incoherent. A nebulous term. What characters would you say like, boom, boom, boom, you're woke right it's like what matt walsh works the daily on what basis are they woke right there's none it's incoherent a nebulous term it's what characters would you say like boom boom boom
Starting point is 01:51:49 you're woke right woke right actually means to me if you are a woke person cult-like adherence to the liberal orthodoxy who has tried using right-wing talking points to to maintain control woke right is james lindsey woke right is James Lindsay. Woke right is Colin Wright and Seth Dillon. These are people, and Seth Dillon's more of a conservative, don't get me wrong, but these are people.
Starting point is 01:52:10 We're talking Seth Dillon from the Babylon View. Yes. He is going hard on this all day, because what they're doing is they're lying about the views of people to create a liberal orthodoxy that they want.
Starting point is 01:52:22 That's what woke always was. People misplaced this because in the past few years, we saw critical race theory. Go back 10 years to Gamer Gates and you're not going to see the exact same things. You see some of it, some of it, but it was largely based on women. And the Me Too movement also was about sexual assault. The cult adhered to these things, canceled people over them. It wasn't always about race. It was just about adhering to the liberal orthodoxy. So now you've got this cohort of people on X who are spam blasting that random disparate ideologies are actually all one ideology woke right. And that is completely
Starting point is 01:52:56 meaningless. What does Dave Smith have in common with Nick Fuentes? They're both anti-Israel. Is Dave the same kind of anti-Israel as Nick Fuentes? No. Not at all. Nick definitely hates Jews. Right. And Dave is concerned about war. And if outside of the war thing, he's going to be like, then we shouldn't fund Israel.
Starting point is 01:53:13 But he's not going to. That's about as far as it goes. What about Mike Cernovich? Can't figure him out. I see his tweets. Sometimes I like his tweets. And I'm like, oh, my God, who wrote this? I look at the tweet before the person.
Starting point is 01:53:26 I'm like, wow, what a great take. And I'm like, oh, it's Mike. And the next time, I'm like, oh, my God, who wrote this? I look at the tweet before the person like, wow, what a great take. I'm like, oh, it's Mike. And the next time, oh, what a disgusting take. I'm like, oh, it's Mike. And I'm like, wait, how do I remember how we got angry that woke people called everybody white supremacists? The woke left. The woke left. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:40 Yeah. Everybody's a white supremacist. Right. That's exactly what these liberals are doing with the phrase woke right, which is actually them. They are woke, but they are the right side of woke, trying to adopt populist talking points related to Trump to trick the disaffected. It's really simple. People like me left. We said the liberals have gone nuts.
Starting point is 01:54:02 They've adopted these weird ideas like critical race theory. But liberalism itself ain't bad. These people said, hey, we lost people like Tim Pool. How do we get them back? We need to reestablish the cult-like adherence to the orthodoxy, but get rid of the ideas that force them out. They lie to do it. They accuse people of being white supremacists and anti-Semites in order to do it. So what happens at first is they go woke right, like Nick Fuentes. And I said, oh, you're saying he's like a collectivist and identitarian. Is that what you're saying? I don't think that defines woke because it doesn't explain like support for Ukraine, but I get your point. Then they went Matt Walsh too. And I was like, what? Dave Smith, huh? Oren McIntyre. You're just naming random conservatives and
Starting point is 01:54:43 right-aligned people. And then I got pissed because now they're taking things I said out of context and they're lying about things I say, trying to do the same thing. They're just attacking anybody who's not aligned with their cult view of what liberalism should be and calling them a name. Let's read some more superchats. All right. Ramtech says, Phil, you can take the U.S. citizenship test in Spanish for those who don't know English. Shame.
Starting point is 01:55:08 And I just mentioned that we should be more proficient in English, and this is what they do. Neglectful Sausage says, Trump's South African refugee move was genius and wise. Everyone is showing themselves to be anti-white racists they are now. They aren't real refugees because white and even churches taken over by woke are refusing to help. Seriously. Episcopalian church is a captured church. Oh yeah. There's so many
Starting point is 01:55:34 Episcopalian churches that are covered in rainbow flags. Yeah, the Episcopalian churches, they accept women as pastors, right? That was the woman that was giving Trump the what for. She was giving him crap. She was probably Episc-a-pillion, yeah. Oh, my God, I saw a church in Manhattan with a trans flag on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:49 Heresy. God didn't get it right. God gave you the wrong body. God makes no mistakes, but with you he might have. We'll make an exception to our rule. The Onion Dip says, Alex Jones is right. I don't even know who you are, lady. Oh, my God, I'm so insulted. Onion dip. Alex Jones
Starting point is 01:56:06 went on Joe Rogan and said that there are chimeras being created and that 5G was mutating people and there's interdimensional beings and all of that stuff. Look, man, come on. Come on. However, Alex Jones also accurately called out the invasion of Ukraine, I think, like five months before it happened. That's why we have the Alex Jones was right jar because sometimes he says crazy things. Sometimes he predicts things that we're like, wow. It's almost like Ian rolling a one or 20, but the truth is Alex rolls a bit more 20s, but he does have his one sometimes.
Starting point is 01:56:35 You know, it's the most frustrating when someone's not always wrong. Like Kanye West, you could say he's a nut and he went off the deep end. But I hate when somebody like Candace Owens, for example, was somebody that I used to look up to so much but then she'll have such crazy conspiracy theories and i'm like now even when you're right i don't want to give you the credit because you're so unhinged but you make good points sometimes even andrew tate i used to love andrew tate now i'm like you're disgusting i don't think that yay went crazy so So what is this? He's trying to attack the structure, the system.
Starting point is 01:57:09 So you don't think he's like missing meds? He's not crazy. I don't think he's crazy. I think he's so insane. I think he needs to be studied. Have you ever met him? Seems that way to you. Like I never spoke to him, but I've been in the room.
Starting point is 01:57:18 In person, he acts completely differently. We filmed it. You were there, right? Yeah. He was for an hour hour he's talking like this here's what I'm thinking what if he's bipolar and then he closes the door and he's a nut job
Starting point is 01:57:32 when the camera turns on is when his bipolar starts I don't buy it I've seen him on camera unhinged as well on camera he's always unhinged off camera he's totally normal he was at our studio before the show started he said Well, I think we all have. On camera, he's always unhinged. Off camera, he's totally normal. Oh, you're saying off camera, he's normal. He was at our studio before the show started talking like this. He said, you know, it's really interesting what we're seeing with Trump, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:52 and it's really interesting about this SpaceX stuff. That's how I was talking. And then he's sitting in the chair and we're talking to him. And he's like, right before the show, he looks at Milo. What do you think about Mike Pence? You know, do you think Trump trusts him? And Milo's like, well, the show, he looks at Milo. What do you think about Mike Pence? You think Trump trusts him? And Milo's like, well, you know, Pence. Camera turns on and he goes, y'all say me like, oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:58:11 And I was just like, whoa, what just happened to this guy? It was fake. He had a jet waiting for him. He was planning on storming off. The thing that's interesting about him, though, is he thinks he's the greatest and smartest, but he also doesn't think he is. That's why he is always collaborating with people that he thinks are very talented. Like he'll have a Milo around or have, you know, a bony bear around.
Starting point is 01:58:31 You can't be that normal if you tweet the things that you tweet. Like I sucked off my cousin at eight years old. You can't be normal and tweet that. It's in the song. So here's what I think happened. He's obviously there's that weird stuff with like the Pasternak guy or whatever that was all about. There's weird stuff related to that.
Starting point is 01:58:49 He gets into, he gets into it with Kim. He loses his kids. He gets his bank account frozen. The people who are coming after him, the people who are causing him problems happen to be Jewish. The people who are on the labels, the people who are cutting his business deals.
Starting point is 01:59:03 And so what he then says is, these guys who are cutting his business deals. And so what he then says is these guys who are causing me problems are all Jewish. I am going to try and hurt them in the most vile way that I can. Wait, can I play a video? It's my favorite video. Is it? How is it? This video, I have it like on bookmark on X. Wait, ready?
Starting point is 01:59:20 Hold on. So I'm envious of the Jewish people. I'm envious of how they don't abort their children. I'm envious of how they don't shoot each other in the streets and then rap about it. I'm envious of how their families stay together. I'm envious that they turn their phones off on Friday night and the family comes together. I'm envious of how they do the business together. And that's the truth.
Starting point is 01:59:41 So my point is, the reason why he makes this song is because he's trying to slight specific individuals. No, for sure. And he's using the Nazi thing as the most offensive thing he can do. I love that he used it because they also killed black people. So I'm like, you just look even more dumb. But it's all personal. It's all personal. It's like probably three or four guys in the industry that screwed him over. And so he said, I'm going to use my 33 million follower voice to amplify what hurts you the most.
