Starting point is 00:00:00 From Amazon, MGM studios comes Melania, a new film that takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the first lady herself. Step into her world as she orchestrates inauguration plans, navigates the transition, and moves her family back to the nation's capital. History's biggest stage on the biggest screen. Melania, only in theaters on January 30. Several states are declaring states of emergency because their food states. stamp money, you're going to run out. I'm going to say that again. Several states have declared a state of emergency because they're not getting money from the
Starting point is 00:00:47 government for food stamps. Now, they're doing this so they can start pulling funds from other areas because that's how important this is to many of them. And I wonder how much the fear of riots plays into it. The root.com is trying to make a viral video happen. It's not happening where a woman is organizing a mass riot on a scheduled date. I kid you not. She says, everybody on this date, go to Walmart at this time because they can't arrest all of us and run for us to run.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Apparently, she's not familiar with Three Stooges syndrome, where when you try to jam all of the people through the door at one time, they can't get out. And thus will be easily arrested. So we'll talk about that. Plus, fears of, I know, everybody in their mother says it, World War III, because Donald Trump has ordered the beginning of nuclear testing, which is interesting nonetheless. And we've got a judge saying that he's going to order Trump to unfreeze these benefits. So we'll talk about that and a lot more. Before we do, we got a great sponsor. It is bearskin, my friends.
Starting point is 00:01:48 You guys have to see the bearskin hoodie that I wear sometimes. It's amazing. It's super comfortable. And I absolutely have a 340 GSM, bearskin, B-A-E-R-Skin, micro-fleece.

Bear skin is running a 60% off deal right now, but only if you get your hoodie early. This hoodie is built like a tank, 340 GSM micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit.
Starting point is 00:02:16 That looks awesome. Plus it zips right into the heavy storm at rain jagged to become 100% waterproof when you need it. So when it turns cold, wet, and windy, you're not scrambling at the last minute. You'll get free U.S. shipping, fast delivery, and you locked in your winter gear already. That's a win-win.

Starting point is 00:02:45 And one more thing. When you support bearskin, you're also supporting the fallen outdoors and hope for the Warriors veterans programs. So you're not just buying great gear. You're backing a cause that matters. Don't wait till you're freezing. Text Tim to 36912. And my friends, head over to Castbrew.com, we got a promo. Turkey 20. That's right.

I don't know that he's deranged. Well, his eyebrows aren't attached to his face, so. Well, that's just how things are in cartoon land sometimes, but there's nothing particularly wrong with him.

Starting point is 00:04:27 I can't believe where you live. In the middle of nowhere? I mean, good God. It's so wonderful. I love it. Who are you? What do you do? Oh, I am from California.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I can't believe where you live. You're going to dog on this place. I know, I know. I spent quite a bit of time with your staff, and they're quite interesting. And Josh is from California. Yeah. And that was the number one question is, have you ever wanted to leave? And I'm like, no, no, no, I want to stay.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I want to stick it out. Don't worry about me. Worry about my enemies. Well, so what do you do? Build houses. I have a farm. I've got a farm business. You have chickens? I have chickens. That's good news. I got a lot of chickens. Pass the test. Yeah, we got lots of chickens. We have a farm stand. We do CSA. Hey, we do SNAP.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Our SNAP program's fine, by the way. We have a large painting of a rooster behind Mary. I like that. Yeah, chickens are great. Roosters drive me crazy, by the way. We have a bunch of them. And they just never stop. It's true. Worst. They're just yelling. The chickens are fine. The roosters are a bit loud.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So I came out to D.C. I've been in D.C. this week, and I've been meeting with a bunch of lawmakers trying to help out California. Well, it needs it. Yeah, we met with EPA. Oh, interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. EPA's interested in cleaning up the California River and the Tijuana River and the Colorado
Starting point is 00:05:44 where they collide there. So that's good. Yeah, right on. Well, it should be fun. Thanks for hanging out. We're going to have a good time. I'm really glad to be here. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:51 We got Mary hanging out. Hi, everyone. My name is Mary Morgan. And you can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at Timcast. I know that you already got the Casperu shill, but I'm going to shill again because you should go get Mary's Ghost Blend, and apparently now you can get 20% off with Turkey 20. So that's even better. It's cheap.
Starting point is 00:06:09 My name's Seamus Coglin. I am the creator of Freedom Tunes. We've done over 600 animated videos. We've got over $290 million views with $0 spent on marketing. The way people learn about the world and form their values is through story. And nowadays, we have the most robust technological infrastructure for delivering stories that has ever existed, and it is owned almost exclusively by our enemies, people who want to chip away at our culture and erode our way of life through their propaganda. That's why myself and
Starting point is 00:06:38 my team do what we do to push back, and that's why we're stepping out and expanding into creating a full half-hour-long TV-length show with episodes that range for roughly 22 to 25 minutes. At twisted plots.com, you can go and support our show. You can see our pilot episode. It's already been created and you can help us win the culture war, which we cannot win without creating culture. So go over to twisted plots.com, contribute $25. We've got two weeks left in the campaign. Help us to make this a reality because we will not win the culture war without creating culture. And I've got the team. I've got the track record. And I've got the experience. With your support, I will be unstoppable. Let's go. All right. Here's the first story from Newsweek.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Snap Benefits Update Emergency Declare. as funding runs out. Oh boy, who's doing in New York. Governor Kathy Hokel has declared a state of emergency on Thursday. After federal funding shortfalls threatened snap, Hockel posted an ex. The Trump administration would rather starve children and families than lift a finger to help them put food in the table. I'm declaring a state of emergency to use every tool we have to help the 3 million New Yorkers losing food assistance because of the GOP shutdown. But wait, Maryland has declared a state of emergency. What do they say? Maryland, but Thessda has closed. No, no, no, you can shut up.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Maryland Governor Westmore declared a state of emergency on Thursday over the upcoming loss of SNAP benefits. Quote, Donald Trump is refusing to deploy emergency federal funds funding that would keep food assistance programs running during the shutdown by doing that. I want to be clear, he is breaking the law. And then Delaware did it. Delaware governor declared state, okay, we get the point. They're all starting to declare emergencies over SNAP because large portions of our society
Starting point is 00:08:19 are dependent upon the government for. their very existence. And I do not view this as sustainable, nor do I view this as Donald Trump's fault. I was talking with Senator Rand Paul earlier. And he was pointing out that Democrats are the ones who are blocking this. They could vote for it at any point. And the important distinction here, which Rand Paul brought up, this is a continuing resolution from the Biden budget. It is exactly what Biden had already approved and Democrats were for it then and now are acting like they can't sign it now. So I want to ask you, you mentioned you do farm work or you have a farm?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah. Is that? So we've been talking about this, about the fact that Snap obviously affects the price of food and grocery stores a very thin profit margins, and so it's difficult to work out exactly how this is going to affect the economy and food markets overall. I'm curious if you have any particular insight into that as someone who is a farmer and has experience with agriculture. Well, Snap is the evolution.
Starting point is 00:09:17 It was food stamps weren't SNAP. They weren't called SNAP. They're now called SNAP. Originally, it was a supplement. I think it actually, I think supplement might be the first supplemental nutrition. There you go. That's right. It was vegetables, fruit, nuts. It was things that were natural and organic. And so they would send it to grocery stores and then you could turn in your SNAP coupons at grocery stores. Now it's part of EBT, which is the electronic benefit, which is how they just deposit money into your account.
Starting point is 00:09:43 And so SNAP has to go from a farm to be packed and washed and sent to a grocery store and by the time it gets there it's really not so focused on just really good nutrient high nutrient food yeah you can use EBT cards to purchase candy bars okay exactly people are buying Coca-Cola food
Starting point is 00:10:01 and then selling it in plates on Facebook marketplace to other people in the hood on an upcharge so they're literally making a profit off of their snap benefits you know about this I mean there's been a long history of that there's been a
Starting point is 00:10:17 long history of, you know, kind of brutalizing the food stamp business. And people have been selling their food stamps for decades. The sad part is, is that, you know, really the SNAP program needs to be standalone. That's what kind of, I think Bobby Kennedy was working on through HHS, was to have SNAP be sort of a program where it really was fruit, vegetables, nuts, things that are eat potatoes, and then it would go to fulfillment centers, and then it would be, you know, last mile delivery. You could still buy it on coupons, but you'd actually get good food. You wouldn't be able to go there and sell them and convert. And I know that that's not what this is about. This is simply about the fact that the government shut down. But at the end of the day, my farm stand,
Starting point is 00:10:53 we are doing SNAP. And most of the people that I know in California that have independent farm stands and independent grocery, they're doing SNAP. So I'm curious, do you know when this changed and why, when they decided to move away from giving people genuinely nutritious foods and started to allow them to basically purchase anything at a grocery store? I am not sure when it happened, but it would be, I would say in the last 15 years, this whole thing has become so corrupt. You know, the amount of money that they're fighting over is $187 billion. Do you just think about that?
Starting point is 00:11:21 Do you know if there are any restrictions on what you can buy with SNAP? Sure, there are. But they, but the grocery store is not going to. No, hot things. Yeah. Imagine if you get groceries and they go bad. You're not going to, you're going to give the stamps back. You know, you just give somebody something else.
Starting point is 00:11:36 It's all about farm to table has to be, you know, two-hand touch. It can't sit for weeks and weeks and weeks. it's very difficult to deliver fresh food on this kind of a program. It is, I think, probably the large corporations lobbying to change the system to allow people to buy whatever they want. Because soft drinks are two of the top ten, two of the top ten items purchased with food stamps. And it's so much profit. Right. And they're saying Walmart's going to lose billions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:12:08 So these big corporations have been subsidizing. themselves off of taxpayer dollars. It's laughably insane. And it's not just that. There's this old documentary from like 15, 20 years ago talking about how Walmart, and I made this is wrong or whatever, but I saw this in some documentary. Walmart would tell staff, if you can't afford to work here because you don't make enough money, apply for welfare on top of your pay to supplement to offset. And so the argument for a long time has been that Walmart subsidizes themselves through making their workers take benefits and then having people use benefits to buy from Walmart. Well, and it's funny because left-wing people will try to use that as an argument for why we shouldn't
Starting point is 00:12:48 cut EBT. Like, you think that's a good argument? Like, I'm supposed to want to prop Walmart up with tax dollars? I mean, I don't think the majority of the right is even advocating for Snap to be abolished. No. I'm just saying that we need to root out the corruption. A lot of the people who actually need it and would be more deserving of it, hardworking people who are married don't qualify because they make responsible decisions.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And so many people who don't need it are getting it. I like that. In order to receive the benefits, you have to be married for at least a certain amount of time and you can't get a divorce. That's a huge reason why people are applying for it and getting denied is because they're married. I think that people that are single-de-up more. A lot of people talking about this on Twitter saying, like, I'm married, my husband makes, you know, whatever, less than 40K, less than 30K a year.
Starting point is 00:13:35 And they've applied for SNAP before and got denied. and they wonder why. And people say it's because you're married. You're more likely to get it. You're more likely to get approved for all sorts of benefits if you're unmarried and that's incentivizing your responsibility. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:49 And I understand what you're saying, by the way, that there are single mothers, for example, who might need this. But part of the difficulty is the program ends up creating an incentive that pushes fathers out of the homes. And so you go, how is there a way to structure this where we ensure that people
Starting point is 00:14:03 who really do need it or getting it but where it's not creating these broken homes? because, and there are also instances, this is going to, not to shock and scandalize anyone in this audience, right? I'm sure you guys have never heard of this, but there are people who will live together outside of marriage and they could get married, but one of the reasons they don't is because if they do, the woman will not be able to continue to collect the welfare that she's getting.
Starting point is 00:14:27 People are lying about the members of their household in order to get accepted for these applications. Yep. And you know what, the only reason why there should be a state of emergency declared in any of these states is because people are openly threatening to riot and loot stores on TikTok with their whole face showing their whole government name on their profile. Well, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:14:45 The thing is, you guys know the story of perverse incentive where it was like the British colonials in India said, we got a snake problem. So we're going to pay you a dollar for every snake had you bring us. And they went, okay, they went home and started breeding snakes. So they thought they were going to get rid of them
Starting point is 00:15:02 and they just made the problem worse. And that's exactly what we get with this program, although it's not funny. Yeah, it's fair. No, I agree with you. It's very sad. Part of the interesting thing about that particular story is you got to remember
Starting point is 00:15:13 this is, this was the British in India. So there's not going to be the same level of solidarity built up between the government and the people there. And the same thing actually happens with the federal government. When this stuff is handled by local communities, people who know each other are feeding their neighbors, it's a completely different story. You're more discerning about who gets the food,
Starting point is 00:15:31 people who have a reputation for being liars or being hustlers or being scammers. or grifters are going to be weeded out just by virtue of what their reputation is. But because we federalized all of this, it makes it nearly impossible to figure out who the liars are, who the phonies are. One of the big parts of EBT was during the mass immigration into the United States, the EBT tax coupon things that they gave them were in the thousands. So people had money in a bank account to go to grocery stores.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I've read several articles on the amount of EBT that was handed out to people coming over the border. I mean, that's, and that's what the big argument is with the Trump administration is, is basically that we can't afford illegal alien snap programs. We can't afford medical for illegal aliens. That's really what the big argument is. That's what they're really fighting about. The real issue for me is that you can't get fresh food across the country. And so it becomes corrupt just because it costs too much. It's never going to be fresh. So we might as well sell cigarettes and beer and we'll just use the snap coupons for that. That's kind of really what's going on. And $187 billion of that is crazy. Yeah, no, I completely agree with you.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It's also, it's interesting because what the left has been doing is they've been going, oh, well, erm, actually, illegal aliens are not getting these benefits. It's like, okay, non-citizens absolutely are, though. And what happens is because the Biden administration, and basically every left-wing administration or political authority for the past several decades, has given people temporary protected status whenever they can, thus making them non-illegal, even though they're not citizens, it extends welfare benefits to those people. They call them, I think, lawful entrance.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Exactly. So they enter the country illegally. And then when law enforcement, CBP or I say, you stop right there, they go asylum. And then they're like, oh, they got us. I guess we can't deport them now. They're lawful entrance. And I have all this EVT I need to spend. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:22 They said the magic word. Even though there's a eight USC 1325, which states entering the country from anywhere other than an official port of entry is illegal. illegal. So the reality is we've said it, these people, these Democrats live in an entirely different country. The laws of our Congress and Constitution, it doesn't matter to them. They are somewhere else. Yeah. That's absolutely right. In L.A., we don't have to worry because they haven't funded Prop 36. So if you don't have any food, you can just go into the grocery store and take it. So it's fine. Well, that's what... Isn't it like $900 worth of theft or something? Yeah. That's so crazy. 71% or something like that voted for the law to be passed and now they won't fund it. Yeah. What's the law? Prop 36. So right now, because of COVID, they were like, you know, people can steal and we're not going to prosecute. And it was
Starting point is 00:18:12 up to $900. Literally a guy went into a thrifty and took $2,000 worth of stuff because it was 50% off. Okay. That's so funny. It's awful, but it's funny. Well, so the joke that we made was you should sell everything for $1,000, everything, and then offer up discounts at the register. and someone actually did it. That's a great idea. It didn't work. You should have made that work. No, no.
Starting point is 00:18:38 They tried doing it. I can't remember where, but the police were just like, no. You just change it from the dollar store to the $1,000 store. Yeah. The issue is, it's not, it doesn't matter if this law exists about the $900. What matters is if somebody steals even a couple hundred dollars, they shoplift. If you work for a CBS and someone comes in and takes $100 with the stuff and you call the police, they're going to be like, what would you have us do? It's going to take us 15, 20 minutes to get there.
Starting point is 00:19:04 The person's going to be long gone. We take a report. No one will ever catch the person. So they just don't care. They don't show up. We did. So back when this first became law that you could steal less than $900 worth of stuff in California, we did a cartoon where it was Gavin Newsom and he was like one of those crazy TV salesmen.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And he's like, this bike previously $850 now free. And he's like rattling off all this stuff. This laptop used to cost $700 now free. Well, let's pull up this story from the root.com. I don't know how you describe the root. It is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude. Well, that's how you describe it. That's how you describe it.
Starting point is 00:19:39 That's how you describe the route. If the SNAP benefits cut off results in violence, it wouldn't be the first time. It's funny because I believe they changed the headline, which used to read, The TikTok plan to stage a massive theft event at Walmart. And they said it was going viral. The problem is it's not going viral. They're just hoping that it happens. So they've got this post from TikTok, which I'll pull up and we'll play for you.
Starting point is 00:20:05 You guys ready? Here you go. Listen to this. Oh, people, my people, I wish we stopped crying about this motherfucking EBC card. At the end of the day, they try to see us we're going to stick together. And we are going to stick together. Fucking November 3rd, at 6.30, we're going to fucking Walmart. We're going to fucking Walmart.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And at 7.30, we're going to walk out of Walmart with our fucking buggies. Okay. the thing is they can catch everybody you feel me all you gotta do is run for us run okay we have the sticks to fucking gather it don't even matter as long as we gonna have everything we need for Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:20:44 that's all that fucking matters bitch run for it's run remember put it in on calendar November 3rd she should be arrested right now criminally charged with incitement to riot whatever else they can get her on
Starting point is 00:20:59 but the funny thing is the TikTok is not viral at all. It's got 500 likes and the initial post from the root claimed that it was going viral. I think the intention of the writers at the root because I think the root was part of like the Gizmodo network at some point. Oh yeah, the onion. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:21:15 that's opinion. I thought, I'm pretty sure it was a part of the onion. It's like the same format, whatever. They wanted this to go viral. So, hold on, but in the ratio is bad too. There is now an entire like, libs of TikTok styled account called EBT of TikTok where there are
Starting point is 00:21:30 thousands of people threatening to riot, threatening to loot stores, and inciting groups of people to do so. So it is a viral trend, even if that specific video isn't viral. I'm just going to be, this is not me blackpilling, because there is no black pilling and there's no black pilling allowed. But when you are at this point as a nation where citizens are willing to just openly say in front of everyone in the public that they intend on stealing things, like it's over. All right. This is not a healthy thing like we're going to loot from the paid for groceries that white people are walking out with. Well, oh yeah, we will just steal it from people too. That's reparations.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And I just want to say too, like I, when I say that means your society's over it, 100% does. Christ has brought people back from the dead. Right. Like God can bring our society back is what I'm trying to say. But by natural human means like we're done. We're completely. We're cooked. I just want to fact check.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I was correct. It was part of the onion. so G-O-Media. I believe this was after Gawker, on all those websites, it got purchased. And it was Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, the Root, Kotaku, and Jalapnik, and the Onion Portfolio, the Onion Clickle, A-V-Club,
Starting point is 00:22:47 and takeout. And then I guess what happened was that whole thing collapsed. And now, as of 2025, it's just the root, which, once again, is black news and black views with a whole lot of attitude. A whole lot of it. Apparently also calling for everyone to mass loot Walmart. But I want to stress this.
Starting point is 00:23:05 As someone who has been to a Walmart, as I'm sure some of you may have at some point, the doors there are not particularly wide, and there's usually two. There are two ways in, you know, on the, you know, left and the right of the building. And if this woman's plan were to actually be implemented, these people would fall victim to Three Stooges syndrome, which is, When everyone tries jamming through the door at the same time, they get stuck and will all be easily arrested. So that's not going to work. But she's not the only person who's been calling for this stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:37 The calls for mass riding and looting, it's nuts. Go arrest them all. I think, don't say that there are no political solutions to this. There are certainly political solutions to this problem. I think there are political solutions. You enforce the law. There are political solutions that could salvage certain parts of this country for a certain period of time.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's just that, listen, I'm going to quote Fult and Sheen again, communism is not the thing that destroys the society, it's the rot that sets in when it's already dead. I don't think we live in a time where we are desensitized to this, but if our ancestors saw that people were talking this way, if they saw
Starting point is 00:24:16 the current state of affairs, they'd be like, oh yeah, you don't have society. You're like living they'd probably say, let's not do that whole slavery thing. I don't know if this was from one of your videos or where I heard this, but what was watching it said a bunch of, it might have been a Simpsons bit, there are a bunch of people in hell who did things a lot worse. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's a bunch of people in heaven
Starting point is 00:24:39 today that did way worse things than the people who are condemned to hell for today. Right, did I say that right? I'm not sure. Basically, the point is this. If you go back 300 years, people went to heaven and were engaged in brutal warfare, abject racism, slavery. And today, We are way, way, way, way, way more. I don't know the right words. A combination of demure, weak, and also magnanimous. Comfy, yeah. The idea was, like, you have the conquistadors all just, they knew they were going to heaven.
Starting point is 00:25:13 And today, you've got people who are condemned to hell for a fraction, a fraction, of just thinking the things that conquistores may have done. Well, certainly for texting them. I think they should change the name of that thing to the loot. The worst thing about that video was not her calls for mass violence. It was the ASMR whispering. I think ASMR should be illegal. You know, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:25:40 ASMR, we planned to rob Walmart when EBT goes out. If, you know, like, I will, I will, uh, these ASMR videos, you would go to fucking Walmart. I will, I will, I will punch a hole in the monitor. I will punch my phone so hard it will explode into fragments as soon as an Instagram ASMR video pops up. ASMR looting.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I don't know what it is about people that they really want that low, whispery voice and scratching where it relaxes them. It brings me to the pinnacle of rage. They're gonna actually rename shoplifting as like quiet shopping. No, no, what was it?
Starting point is 00:26:23 No, undocumented shopping. Uncummented shopping. It's not illegal. It's just not documents. It's just purchases they haven't made yet. Listen, I think undocumented iPhone owners should have the same path to legal ownership that people who went through the process to get their iPhone have. We vote for a Democrat president so they can introduce the deferred action for shopping. What's the acronym?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Deferred action for undocumented shop purchases. So he doesn't have a receipt. He's not human? I'm calling it now. Like, after Halloween, we're going to see. the craziest rage bait trick-or-treat looting videos. Black Friday!
Starting point is 00:27:04 Like, it's all happening on the same day. We're going to see so many... Well, Black Fridays a month. Stealing from the porch where they put the bowl of candy out for them to take one. They're just... Taking the whole bowl. It's going to be crazy. Okay. I see a lot of these body cam videos on YouTube and Instagram. They pop up from time of time. And I'm sure you guys have seen this. Have you guys seen the videos where it's like
Starting point is 00:27:23 someone tries filling up a shopping cart and walking out with it? Yeah. Okay, well, I, routinely see these videos. And it's always like, oh man, that's crazy. I can't believe they would do that. And the Walmart employee doesn't know what to do. And then the person just walks off. Okay, well, I saw one today where the lady was walking the shopping cart out and some other, like a store employee got in front of her and said, you can't take this. And it was a black woman. She pulls what appears to be a Glock. I saw that same video. And she was trying to rope her children into the criminal act. That's crazy. She was telling her children, no, run out to the car.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Take the other cart. I'm like, dude, we are, we are cooked. That's what I'm saying. He's like, there is no society. That's right. And it's just like the mindset is like mind you business. And that's a ton of the videos that they're just saying like if you're an employee or a fellow shopper and you see someone walking out with the whole card of stolen items, mind your business. Well, because think about the repercussions.
Starting point is 00:28:23 We get told this all the time and I've never agreed with this. this, much to my own detriment, I would imagine. But when I was, you know, I'm growing up in, in Chicago, it's a dangerous place. And you are told, if someone robs you, give everything up. And my response was, no. Like, well, they'll kill you. And I'm like, guess I'll die. I just, I can't believe you people choose to live this way. Because what ends up happening is, you have explicitly just told every criminal in this, in this city, that the people will give you whatever you want. You know, I'm going to bet on, I'm going to bet on they, don't want to go to prison for the rest of their life, not true for everybody, and they'd rather
Starting point is 00:28:59 not get in a fight. So if someone comes up to me, I'm going to say no. And I only had one instance where it happened, and the guy threatened me, but I got lucky because the cops were there. So I've never actually encounter, well, to be fair, to my own defense, I did tell a guy trying to mug me, no, but I got saved by the cops. So who knows, maybe he would have shot me. I just don't agree that we should live in a society where we all agree. If someone wants to take from you, let them do it. It's actually life hack. You can say no. That's illegal. Some of these like career criminals, congenital criminals, they don't think 15 seconds into the future. So they do not have a fear of going to jail or getting caught or getting hurt in a fight.
Starting point is 00:29:37 They don't have that fear. So it's a coin toss. So there was the study they did where they took people who were convicted of multiple violent crimes against people. And they made them watch videos of people walking down the street. then they were asked who out of these people if they were going to rob somebody who would they rob?
Starting point is 00:29:58 And sure enough, the people they chose had been robbed before, the people they did not, were not robbed before. And the researchers believe it was the way they carried themselves. Either the person was distracted
Starting point is 00:30:08 or the person carried themselves with confidence. The people who are going to rob you, not always, but they're looking for an easy get. None of these guys who are robbing you want, I saw, there's another viral video.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You may have seen where, There's a handful of these, man. It's crazy. I watched one today where they're robbing a convenience store, and it's like some fat dude, and he's sitting by on the counter with his hands up, and they go through the register. And when the other guy walks to his buddy,
Starting point is 00:30:32 he grabs a gun and just drops him instantly, and they run off. There's another video from Vegas that went super viral. We covered at the time. Wait, who dropped who? The shopkeeper pulled out of gun and dropped the robber. There was a viral video out of Vegas where two guys walk into a head shop
Starting point is 00:30:47 with like a vape shop or something, wearing masks, and one guy tries going around, on the counter. And when the clerk runs to him, the other guy jumps over. So the clerk's got a knife in his hand and just boom, boom, boom, over and over again. And you hear the robber going, stop, stop, oh, I'm dead. And that just collapses. He didn't die, though. But this shopkeeper never got in any trouble. They were like, you got masked guys robbing you. Oh, in L.A., you'd go straight to jail. If you stabbed him. Yeah. Oh, New York, too. No, first of all, you said something really interesting.
Starting point is 00:31:15 This was Vegas. You said that you were getting mugged or would have been the police came. See, in L.A., that doesn't happen. Oh, I got lucky. Yeah. Well, in L. In L.A., the, the, the, the, the is it they want you to drive your car and leave the windows open and park it with nothing in it so that no one breaks the class. You guys remember. That's like one of the instructions. Penny Johnson went to California and while he was filming someone tried breaking into his SUV to steal his stuff. Yeah. It's it's it's comedy. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's insane. They're like don't wear your jewelry out when you're going on a walk. I mean like you and if you call 911 you're like hello 911 they're like what's your emergency. I'm like you guys are where are you we've been calling That's exactly, that's the same as not having a society, right? No one's going to protect you. You literally have to fend for yourself. Oh, but it's worse than that. Because you live in Cali-execl. It's anarcho tyranny.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You will get in trouble if you do fight that. Yeah, 8,500 police officers for 4 million people. So here's what you got to do. Here's what you got to do. I mean, if you're in California and you're walking down the streets of like L.A. or whatever, and some guy comes and robs you, you need to call the police and describe yourself as the robber. And then the police will come and they'll be like, that's the burglar. How can we help?
Starting point is 00:32:28 That's the point. Where are the socioeconomic factors that made you do this? And people believe that stealing is a victimless crime. This is the point that we reach. And, you know, we learn it from childhood. I've been reading about like the history of anti-bullying campaigns. And one of the policies that so many schools implemented is that it doesn't matter who started the fight. You all get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Yep. So you're taught not to fight back when you're the victim of bullying. That's what they did when I was an Irish family. See, I just, I don't live in that world, I guess. I mean, maybe I'm lucky, and it's like the last trap out of NAM scenario where it's so much worse now than it was when I was younger. But I'd get into a fight. I just, I don't care. I refuse to live in this.
Starting point is 00:33:14 I've heard all these stories and I've had everybody tell me if someone comes up to you and they're robbing you, just give in. And I'm like, I'm not going to do it. That study you mentioned, they did the same one with sex offenders. They identified women who seem like easy targets. They're the ones who are not aware of their surroundings, looking at their phones. Their posture is turned inwards. If you're making eye contact and looking around you, they're not going to try to victimize you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I, you know, one other strategy you do, I think, I can't remember which sitcom this is from. But it was a woman and she said she dresses. She dresses like a schizo and she walks down the street, twitching and screaming and yelling at random things. She's like, I've never been a bugged once. That's what you got to do. You got to start barking at them. Like just never shower.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Well, I mean, I don't know if you want to live that way. Well, this is, this goes back to what I was saying earlier, which is that people are shaped by the stories they hear. For decades, every single time you saw a criminal on television, they were stealing bread to feed their family, right? This is what we have internalized. This is a narrative that we've been. sold is that people literally only steal things. They only break the law because at some point
Starting point is 00:34:24 they were victimized and it's society's fault. I love the Fult machine quote. He said there was no poverty in the Garden of Eden, right? That's actually very important part of that story. People will do bad things even if they have everything. Right. And if that wasn't true, then then how could we persist with this narrative that rich people are bad and rich people want to victimize others because they have all the materials that they could possibly need. That's why you got to help me tell the right stories, twisted plots.com. Jeff Bezos should just Venmo everyone a billion dollars and then this wouldn't be. Don't you guys remember?
Starting point is 00:34:57 No laws. Don't you remember when Bloomberg was running? And on, I think it was NBC News, that woman I can't remember her name, she was like, I just saw this. Mayor Bloomberg spent $500 million on his campaign. And there are 300 million Americans. He could give every American a million dollars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:14 And Brian, I think it was Brian Williams. He was like, it's actually pretty crazy. That's true. And everyone's like, you guys, it's $1.60. What is wrong with you? They figured out in L.A. that we've spent $900,000 per homeless person per year. Wait, how much?
Starting point is 00:35:30 $900,000 per homeless person. Just skim the $900. How is that possible? Because they can't find this $28 billion or something. It's my A. Welcome to L.A. L.A. intentionally keeps all these people homeless. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:35:43 It's so bad. homeless industrial complex. It's not a joke. I know all about it. No, no. Yeah, it's real. They get government funding from it. They lie to people. They don't want to solve the problem. And that's what happens when you get Democrats supermajority in your city, in your state, in your county, or whatever. So California's cooked. I don't know how much better off what we're going to be because I don't know that Trump can actually do anything. Let me let's jump to this story. We've got this from the post-millennial. Former Coast Guard lieutenant self-identified anti of a member found not guilty. of soliciting and assassination of Trump.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Now, the issue, you may be asking yourself, what did he do? They say, an affidavit accused incident of calling for the assassination of Trump repeatedly since 2020. One post saying the orange man must go at any cost. Another said, you see Trump drowning. What are you doing? He said that he would feel like he would hit him in the head with an oar. He says he wants to say I want the same of him.
Starting point is 00:36:36 In response to another user's post, same month, he wrote, somebody ought to do more than sue. Sue the Orange MF's SS. and it involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here. I'd be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract. We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. I'll drive. I'm willing to drive.
Starting point is 00:36:56 He needs, okay, he kept saying it over and over again. So it's a clear crime. That's pretty clear, man. Yes, but the problem is we live in, we are in a civil war. I mean, again, I said that in the figurative sense. We are clearly in a period of civil strife with factions. And when they brought this case, it took him two hours to acquit the guy for calling for murder of Donald Trump. Have fun with where we're going next because Jennifer, what's her name,
Starting point is 00:37:18 Jennifer Welch from, I've had a podcast, is getting tons of attention right now because she said, if Democrats don't get on board with them murdering or wanting to murder conservatives, the Democrats will get the same treatment, implying they will kill the Democrats, unless Democrats get on board with killing conservatives. That's where we're at. She's not been banned. She's allowed to keep doing her podcast and she's wealthy because of it. So if we can't criminally prosecute a guy who said stuff like this, then I guess guys order your 25-year beans now.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Well, take it further. You know, Jay, was it Jay Jones that wrote the... Oh, yeah. Yeah, and he's running for office. And his is like, I want to murder Republicans and babies and their kids... If this guy wins. Well, the whole party wants to murder babies, right?
Starting point is 00:38:06 But him in particular wanted to kill kids. And he's running for office. Yeah, and he only lost like three. points when that got exposed. Now, Miara's, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong, is expected to win in the prediction markets. We don't know for sure. But we're five minutes from Virginia. It's technically the tri-state, but Pennsylvania is a half an hour drive, so you can get anywhere pretty quickly. You drive down any one of these roads into Virginia, and you will see signs
Starting point is 00:38:33 for Jay Jones and all the houses. They don't care. And I want to make sure this is clear with the story like this, my wife was asking me about the Trump 34 felony conviction because we did this debate last Friday with Brian Shapiro, and it's gone massively viral. I had no idea would, but I'm getting hit up by tons of people being like, oh, you roasted dick, I'm like, oh, whatever. I'm sure he's got clips of me and the left is showing those as well. So my wife asks me, well, what's Trump accused of doing? And I said falsification of business records in furtherance of a crime. And she said, did Trump commit any crime? No, he did not. Because the accusation in that case is that Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, believed a insinuation from Trump's CFO was the order
Starting point is 00:39:19 to pay stormy Daniels. Did Trump ever tell you to do it? No, he did not. Did Trump ever tell you to conceal anything? No, he didn't. But I knew he wanted to. Trump's guilty. That's what they did. On top of that, it's the first time in history. And we clarified this yesterday. Fact check. I was mistaken. It is not the first time they've used that law, one seven, one seven, one, 175, what is it, 1750.10. I thought it was the first time they ever used it without an underlying charge. That is incorrect. It's the first time they've ever done it without a clearly spelled out crime in the indictment.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Meaning, in every instance, New York has charged someone with falsification of business records and furtherance of a crime. They required unanimity among the jurors as to the crime. intended to be committed spelled out in the indictment, meaning proven beyond a reasonable doubt with Trump. They said, I pick it later. Yeah, pick it later and you figure it out, which has never been done before. That's exactly what they did. So she asked me, has Trump, she said, okay, hold on, I understand that, but what did Trump do? He didn't do anything, even according to the church. And then she asked, then how did he get convicted? Because New York is D plus 30. That means any jury will convict any Trump supporter or conservative.
Starting point is 00:40:40 We saw this with J-Sixers when judges wouldn't let them bring in video evidence that was exculpatory. The judge is like, no, that can come in. But this proves I'm innocent. The judge is like, don't care. That's not a jury of your peers. It's certainly not. And now that we have two different countries occupying the same territory, this man who clearly called for the murder of Trump, they let him go. Yep.
Starting point is 00:41:01 In Virginia, unsurprising. Well, and so I know you were talking about Jay Jones and how he isn't expected to win the race anymore, but the fact that that's even a question at all. The fact that he's running. Yeah, the fact that he's still running that his party did go, you know what, let's find someone who isn't talking about killing children in their. Is there anybody?
Starting point is 00:41:19 It's like probably an indication that either they know the voters don't care or they can't find anyone. Like they can't find anyone who doesn't want children dead. So this is actually pretty amazing. Wow. So, uh, Kalshi has the, uh,
Starting point is 00:41:33 the, uh, the prediction. market. Will J. Jones drop out of the Virginia Attorney General Race? No, he won't. At this point, it's a 1%. And if we actually look at the Attorney General Race, he's still got a 33% chance in the prediction market. That is insane to me that a man could say that his rival's children should be murdered. And if he had the choice, he would shoot his Republican rival twice in the head. That's what he said in these texts. And they're like, it's two to one that he loses.
Starting point is 00:42:06 So it's not dead to me. But I will say this. And didn't he call too? Didn't he make a phone call too after? But we didn't see, we don't know it was in the phone call. We just know that there were texts after the fact. So I do need to say this. I'm legally required to say shout at the call sheet for sponsoring the show and I really do appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:42:24 I also would like to point out just before you jump in, James. Should Jay Jones win? The point I was making about Trump and his convictions and this. guy being let go, I don't know that I can drive through Virginia. I'll get pulled over by some commie cop and he's going to be like, you got the improper turn signals there, buddy. And then I'll be like, I don't know what you're talking about because I did it right. He's like, well, let's take a, whoa, I smell drugs out of the vehicle. Then he's going to say, look what I found. And no, and it's going to be every jury in Virginia that they're going to put together is
Starting point is 00:42:58 going to be like he's a Trump supporter, lock him up. Yeah. Yeah. No. If Jay Jones wins. it's bad enough in Virginia. They acquitted a guy who literally was calling for the assassination of Trump and saying he wanted to do it. And they let him go. If this AG gets in, yeah, we're headed down a very, very obvious and dark path.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Yeah. I mean, I totally agree. I think that, again, like I said, the fact that they didn't replace him, they didn't pull him out of the race. He didn't step down. This wasn't that much of a scandal for them. And then they tried to, like, wave a group chat in our face a couple days later
Starting point is 00:43:32 is if that was equally bad and would distract us from this. It was so transparent. It was so obvious and it was so indicative of the major flaw with the Democratic Party, which is that. And I mean this, truly, sincerely, it's not hyperbole. They literally hate innocent life. This is why abortion is the cornerstone of their entire platform. They hate innocents in general. That's why they always want to push grooming.
Starting point is 00:43:50 They want these drag queens to be reading in front of children. They always push as much degeneracy as they possibly can because they hate being reminded that there's more to the world than their own hideousness. And so when someone like Jay Jones says, I hope their children die, he really means that. He really means that. And I got to say this too. We've all gotten angry over politics, right? But I have never at any point been so angry about politics that I wanted someone else's
Starting point is 00:44:15 kid to die because that doesn't come from a place of anger. It comes from a place of sickness. Agreed. Wanting someone else's child to be murdered doesn't solve any of your problems. So why would anyone want that to happen? If I had a problem with Seamus, like let's say, for instance, he stole a very, very rare spoon of mine that was once belonged to a grandmother. And I was mad at him and he denied it. And I said, I'm so mad at you, Seamus, you have wronged me. Why would I hope for his children
Starting point is 00:44:42 that's not going to bring my spoon back? Yeah. Yep. You know, nothing apparently will bring my spoon back. Because there's something about it's a form of tribalness. It's a form of tribalness to carry it from generation to generation, which is a big problem that we are, you know, suffering here in our country. Well, Seamus, since you brought up the Y.R.'s group chat scandal that broke and got way more attention for whatever reason. It also points out a fatal flaw in the Republican Party because they caved immediately. All of these
Starting point is 00:45:09 guys got fired and condemned publicly. Were they all fired? I don't like Republicans. I think that pretty much all of those men got fired. Yes. I'm going to make a new party and it's going to be called the Schmeephpublicans. No, I was going to say it's the bad boys
Starting point is 00:45:27 and, what was it, the bad dude? The bad dude who runs a bunch of bad boys. That's what I was going to say. The bad dude who runs a bunch of bad boys. And you know that I don't know if it was ever proven that Gavin Wax was the one responsible for leaking it, but he didn't face any consequences. Well, we don't know who did what, but all I know is they're all a bunch of whiny babies. And the Republican Party is just so weak. Cooked.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yeah. You know, I've said it before. I'll say it again. The one thing I truly respect the Democrats for is how unscrupulous they are in the face of like, you know, it's amazing because I look at some of these podcasts. I said that woman, Jennifer Welch, whatever name is, where she's like, get on board with killing conservatives. And I'm like, man, she's chiseled and just beaten herself so mercilessly that all that is left of her heart is a withered husk of scar tissue. It takes a lot of work to get there. I am impressed with how people like Adam Schiff can just like crazy eye you at the camera and lie.
Starting point is 00:46:25 And they feel nothing. That takes, that takes a tremendous, tremendous guts. It's an odd, man. We don't need to be evil to win. We just need to take our own side. Yeah, no, it's true. We don't have to be like them. Just enforce the laws, we already have.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Enforce the law. Take your own side. Don't cancel your own people. Well, look, we tried. We tried. He got let go. So that's my point. The conversation we had with Aaron McIntyre last week is the sovereignty who makes the exemptions.
Starting point is 00:46:55 And is the case over or are they going to take it up? No, it's it. He's acquitted. They won't go. You can't. Double jeopardy. You can't bring it back. I didn't know if it was going to go to a higher court or...
Starting point is 00:47:06 You can't. I believe that would be double jeopardy. He's been found not guilty. They can't bring it back. So, you know, I hope you guys have prepared for the worst while you hope for the best because I've been saying that these people should get arrested and silly me. They did arrest a guy. They did charge him and a jury let him go.
Starting point is 00:47:27 So I'll say it again. And shout it to Will Chamberlain because he... This is his argument. A society that tolerates the veneration of assassins and celebrates assassinations is a society that has opened the door to civil war. And that's why he was saying these people should be banned from social media. And I said, you know what? I didn't agree at first. Now I completely agree.
Starting point is 00:47:49 The people that are online celebrating assassinations and calling for more should be instabanned. They're not going to be. More than banned. So I can tell you this. I really do feel like the predicament. of what's to come is obvious, and I hope I'm completely wrong. Unfortunately, for me, I kind of remember all the shows I've done over the past several years where I've warned the escalation was coming, and it did.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And so I can only assume at this point, I'm probably right. So I'll be digging a hole starting tomorrow. You know, Seamus, if you want to help out. Yeah, why not? Guys love digging holes, but we're going to dig it real deep. Then we're going to build a 30-foot deep underground bunker. We can't tell about this. They can't know.
Starting point is 00:48:28 They won't know where it is. How are they going to find it? Stop talking about it. We've got to like, all right, we'll find a good spot. Terrible voice and don't talk about it. Are we going to build it? Just whisper and we're going to build it in our perspary. Okay, perfect.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Just right in the, are we able to dig there? We have to call if there's cable lines or something. I don't want to cut through anything. No, we need the cable lines. You gotta get a dig. How are we gonna play PlayStation? I'm saying we don't wanna cut them when we dig on accident. Nah, you just, you just, what you do is you cut your finger open and you put
Starting point is 00:48:57 a small neodymium magnet in it and stitch it up. And that allows you, you just, you just, you just, you just, you just, what you do me a allows you to feel where the electrical lines are. Oh, that's right. Yeah, old wives trick, old wives' tail. This is actually true. I'm not making this up. Why can't we see this as the beginning of trying to use the law to incarcerate and punish people who do say things online? Maybe this is the beginning of it. I know it didn't work.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I don't think it matters because... We got to have respect free speech, though. I mean, where do you start, right? You want to start somewhere. Well, I think explicit rules to violence. The issue is several years ago, I was involved in a copyright issue around music, and I called, I was speaking with two different lawyers, and they basically said, okay, you probably have a case. Let's, venue is important. If you try this case or file this case in a Democrat jurisdiction, you'll lose in two seconds. And I said, what does this have to do?
Starting point is 00:49:55 Well, you're a Trump supporter. You will bring it before a judge. They're going to say Trump supporter, throw it out. Side with the corporation in two seconds. So they said we should file this in a heavy Trump district where they're going to side with you for being a Trump supporter. And I was like, but this is about music. And they were like, and this is not the way the courts work right now. And venue selection has become the most important things.
Starting point is 00:50:16 This guy was found not guilty because he's charged in Virginia, tried by a jury of his peers who thought that what he did was just. So when you have Democrats in New York say it doesn't matter if you can prove Trump. something wrong. Trump is so evil he must be stopped. This is heading in one direction. That's right. So I'll stress this too. For all these conservatives, I think there's a big conspiracy in the elections with cheating. The one thing they really need to consider is that you do not need a conspiracy for a cult. This is called a standalone complex. One of the theories about 2020 was that all of these Democrats working in polling locations or doing signature verification did not need to be told what to do. They hated Trump so much that they would be like a Trump vote. I can't read that
Starting point is 00:51:04 signature garbage. A Biden vote. Close enough. Throw it in. If you do that 10,000 times across the country, Trump can't win. So for all the, I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm saying you can't control for these things. If we do start going after people for this, let's take a look at the cat Abu Ghazela. She gets, she's literally on video, putting her hands, it appears, well, she's blocking the police vehicle, I don't know if her hands are literally on it, but her body is up against it. And that's what she's charged with obstruction. If they bring in an Illinois jury, she will be acquitted and then the jury will offer her government money. They're going to be like, what more can we do for you, criminal? Because we don't care. You're opposed to Trump. Nothing
Starting point is 00:51:44 you do is illegal. I don't disagree with you. What I'm saying is that you have to start somewhere because, you know, just banning people arbitrarily off the internet could also get really widely. Arbitrarily. Yeah, well, I mean, it would be arbitrary because there's not a court case. just saying, I don't like that. And if the law... But banning is not a criminal action, so you don't need a court case to ban someone. Right. So then it would be arbitrary because it wouldn't be a hearing. It's not arbitrary. Well, sure, it would be if it's just left up to, who is it left up to? The company that runs X or YouTube? Right. So they... I agree with you in that I wouldn't say those things. Glorification of murder is a banable offense on YouTube, and YouTube's not
Starting point is 00:52:20 banning this woman who said to kill Charlie. And it should be banned. And it should be banned. So she should get banned for it. But people write things and they are not banned and they're not, and nothing happens. And they should be. Like Jay Jones. So my point is, is... Well, he texted someone his personal opinion. That's allowed, but he should not be in a political race. In any case, though, they went to court. Now, they lost, and I get it, but they did go to court. And I think it's really important to say that they went to court. They lost. And they lost for... This is a crime. It is a crime. And they lost because of the judges. I agree with you. As long as we, or the jury and the judge. Was it a jury trial? It was a jury trial, and they, they
Starting point is 00:52:53 delivered it for two hours and then acquitted them. Well, in Virginia, they probably would have lost with the judge too. I mean, the judges are also bad. I mean, the point is, though, that they did prosecute them. And I think it's really important that they do prosecute crimes when they happen, regardless of what the outcome might be. We can't stop prosecuting because there's no way to win. Of course. That's my point. We should go after more people. My point is that we're going to see more acquittals, and we are actually, I wouldn't be surprised if overt acts of terror end up getting acquitted, that you'll get some anti-fagai. I mean, look at Portland arresting conservatives. The only reason Portland actually shut down the Antifa protests was because Trump won in the Ninth Circuit
Starting point is 00:53:30 and was going to send in the National Guard. And they don't want the National Guard to come in, because then that gives Trump more control and authority in any capacity in the city. So they said, take out Antifa and then we can argue to the courts. He can't send the National Guard in now because there's no longer a criminal presence. A lot of people really liked the National Guard when it was in L.A., by the way. I wouldn't be surprised. I think the issue is really helpful. What were people, yeah, I'm curious what people on the ground were actually saying, because obviously all the press was going to show us is that everyone thought it was fascism
Starting point is 00:53:59 and Trump is bad because he's orange. Well, what had happened after the fires burned is the National Guard came with FEMA. And so we had a lot of National Guard right after the fires. And they were parked everywhere and they protected everything and they were very nice to people.
Starting point is 00:54:13 And because it was the fires, everybody loved having them there. And then when they left, there was so much looting and so many problems that everybody that was, you know, experienced having them there was like, can we get them back?
Starting point is 00:54:23 So when the National Guard came for the rioting, it was like bring them because it's there's obviously you know the people downtown that you know were looting and rioting didn't want them there but I can tell you right now most people in Los Angeles were really really relieved they were there. I just don't understand how people living in L.A.
Starting point is 00:54:42 have not been radicalized by their experiences and still vote for this. That's a really good question. I'm starting, I'm working on a documentary. It's called Mayors Matter. And I'm visiting all 52 mayors in the state that have a fairly decent. mayorial position. And so far I've interviewed several. And the majority of the mayors that I've
Starting point is 00:55:02 interviewed, surprisingly both Democrat and Republican, number one priority on their list is safety in their streets, police and safety. So things are quite different when you really break it down and you talk to mayors of smaller cities. You know, they also don't want to, you know, house homeless people. They're like, look, we shouldn't have this problem. And they shouldn't be, they shouldn't be dropping them home off in our city. And we can only have so many beds and those beds are transitional. they can't be just living here. We're not just going to create housing for them. So it's very interesting how things really are when you start talking to the merits of the cities. Homeless don't even want housing. That's not the, that's the dumbest thing that people say about homelessness is that they're in need of or desire housing.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Well, also, you know, we have anti-camping rules that, you know, they kind of lifted during COVID because of the, you know, the desperation to find places for people outside. But once you put the camping, anti-camping rules back in place, you know, people can't loiter anymore. So they move to places that they can, like a campsite, and then it's every three days I've got to move or something like that. Point being, there's a way around it that you can do it legally. And if you talk to the mares from all the cities, they don't have the same feeling that you see on the news where they just don't want anybody there. They don't want chaos. They don't want. None of us want it.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I don't want it. And I live in the palisites, you know. Yeah. I mean, that should, in theory, transcend politics if politics were just a matter of human affairs. but I think it is very sad that we're at the point where I think, you know, in the past, people maybe had loftier ambitions for government about the problems it could solve. And I were like, please just like, can I just leave my bike somewhere locked and come back and it's still there, right? Can I please not have my window smash in?
Starting point is 00:56:36 Can I please not have stuff broken? Can I not have my store broken into and have stuff stolen? Like rule of law has been completely disrespected and disregarded. And it's become a topic of political debate, even though, as you said, all the main. will actually say when it comes down to it, like, yes, this is the most important thing to me. We have to make sure we have this. When it comes to their political rhetoric, it unfortunately isn't the case. I mean, I think that select, there might be some like that, but I think the majority of the
Starting point is 00:57:03 mayors, both Democrat and Republican, want safe communities for the kids. And they'll do anything to get it. They'll work really hard at it. We spend just on the executive branch of government $40 billion a year on 275,000 people working for the state. Just think about that. Yeah. I mean, we've only got 17.5 million people paying taxes.
Starting point is 00:57:25 And that doesn't include all the people in all those cities. That's another 250,000 people. So, you know, you have half a million people working in a state with 17 and a half people, 17 and a half million people paying taxes. I mean, it's just not sustainable. So if you sit and talk to people and you really, you know, say, what's really important to you, without all the rhetoric, without all of the, you know, Trump this and, and, you know, you know, Gavin and their big fight because he's because Gavin Newsom has ruined any chance of a relationship with the Trump administration. He's completely torpedoed. 100%. There's zero. There's, so California
Starting point is 00:57:57 is not in the conversation and the people that are good in California that really want to see, you know, things better in California like me, you know, coming out and talking to EPA and saying, hey, will you help us clean up California? Because the EPA can step over, you know, any, any California legislation. They can step right in. So for me, I'm just going to, you know, do my best to circumvent the, you know, the Newsom administration and ask for help because we need it. I want to pull up a video for Mary, because you asked why people would keep voting for this kind of stuff. This is from Zach Sage last month. And it's an amazing video, which basically explains why these people keep voting the way they do.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Let's roll tape. Can I get your signature for support? Okay, wait, I'm required by law. I just have to read you like three of these policies. You're cool to elect a mayor who won't condemn Sharia law. Yeah. I'm not going to do. I'm asking you.
Starting point is 00:58:48 I'm running. I'm not going to go. I don't know about that. Oh, you don't? Well, what is this? It's just like a lot of his policy positions and stuff. You have to recognize the DSA's Bill of Rights Socialism, so he'd replace the Bill of Rights with...
Starting point is 00:59:02 You can read all this is out there. You still want to do it or no? Oh, he's going to tax white people higher. It's on his website first. I just don't think that this is exactly its policies. You can look all of it up. No, this is literally the... the first thing on his website.
Starting point is 00:59:16 It's true. No, it literally says it. Oh my God. It does. I don't know what's going on. Wait, so you voted from the primary, but you didn't know about that. These people should not be allowed to vote. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:28 It just... No, it doesn't literally say wider neighborhoods. This is why they keep voting for it because they are cognitively impaired and arrogant. We need to stop teaching people that they're beautiful little snowflakes that are the main characters of their own story. What about me? And we should tell, especially Seamus. What? And we should stop telling people that they need to be in charge of everything.
Starting point is 00:59:50 It is okay to not be the boss. You can be like, hey, man, look, I understand. I'm not an expert on this policy stuff. So I defer to you. People like this, this is what you get in these urban environments where they're like, no, you must be wrong. Well, it's women. You're saying repeal the 19th?
Starting point is 01:00:05 If we're being honest. Look, we're never going to reveal the 19th. I mean, I hope that this is poor laborers. but we're never going to repeal the 19th. It's not worth talking about. I don't think. It's women who are voting for this stuff. Yes, but the issue I see is that you've got greater male variability hypothesis.
Starting point is 01:00:25 And so it's, how did, let me put it like this. How is it possible for women to vote for these things? Well, they're not responsible for the outcome. No, but how is it possible for them to literally walk into a polling station and vote for it? A men protecting them. What do you mean? I mean, of course, they're able to vote because men protect their rights. Because men decided women should vote.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Yeah. So it's like humans. It's just what humans do. At some point, guys were like, women vote. And now women are voting. And you're like, women shouldn't vote. But it's guys who let them do it. So it's a circular problem.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Like, there are stupid men and there are stupid women. And the issue largely, I think, is let me ask you, let me ask everybody watching at home this question. Did you know that not a single woman has ever won the chess open world championship? So the question is, why is there an open division and a women's division? Women aren't as good at chess. I think the answer is very simply because there can only be one world champion, but then there is greater male variability hypothesis, meaning there's going to be way more stupid guys, but way more smart guys.
Starting point is 01:01:40 and if you've got one slot and 900 men and 20 women, it's gonna be a guy. Yeah, Seamus, you mentioned, I think on PCC, this idea that, you know, women are cooks and men are chefs. No, I didn't, you mentioned that. It was something that came up in our conversation, and I said, yeah, like, men become obsessive
Starting point is 01:01:59 about the thing they're interested in. When it comes to literally any field, any skill, any hobby, the people who are psychotically good at something are men. Because they obsess. It's true. Men will like obsess over a thing and get really good at it. This recent TwitchCon, this like Twitch event,
Starting point is 01:02:15 they did a bunch of video game tournaments and I guess there was a women's division and a dude who thinks he's a woman won. Oh no. And it's because, well, first of all, it's because women accept this shit. I mean, they just put a bunch of trans identifying males on the cover of glamour for women of the year.
Starting point is 01:02:33 No, what? Because women accept this shit. But secondly, it's because men are, going to exceed the abilities of women at things like video games or things like chess. Well, Rachel Zegler was one of the winners, but in the UK. It was the glamour UK cover. Jackie Rowling actually posted about it. I was surprised.
Starting point is 01:02:52 She said like when I was younger, women's magazines told us to be prettier and thinner, and now they're telling us that men are better women than we are. And it's true. And this happens because women are on the editorial teams that make these decisions and women are the ones buying it off the shelves. What are you saying? women should also not be in the workforce? Well, this weird thing will also happen with these publications where in the same way that
Starting point is 01:03:15 the people who've controlled our media have told us bad stories to reshape our minds, they've tried to groom women through putting things in women's literature that, like, historically women haven't sought out. This is the history of cosmopolitan. Yeah, yeah. They'll put things in it to get women to behave in ways that are not, like, historically typical. So they, in Cosmo, they published guest as. essays under pen names that were completely fictional about casual hookups in order to glamorize
Starting point is 01:03:45 the lifestyle of the Cosmo Girl. But it was completely made up. And you're absolutely right. Women's minds have been hijacked by this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And so I know people say like, oh, women are buying these magazines. It's like, yes. But what you got to remember is just because there's a demand for something doesn't mean the demand's going to be filled. And this comes along, this is the case for men's entertainment and women's entertainment. We're like, what is being sold is not necessarily what's demanded. It's the demand that the establishment is willing to fulfill. It's the demand that the people who are creating are willing to fulfill and those people have an agenda.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Democracy is a mistake. That's what I was saying. Well, I'm on board with that. Founding fathers didn't like democracy either. They liked. That's why we don't have one. They wanted a republic. Universal suffrage was not part of the authorship of the founding fathers.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Yeah, seriously. So I think we need to, we need a system of governance. How do we have like a meritocratic political system? The challenge is this. you want the best at the job to do the job, but politics is the one place where that is not possible. Yeah. You can have somebody like, okay,
Starting point is 01:04:47 whoever can run faster and climb higher is going to be the firefighter, I guess. You're strong enough to do it. You can have jobs like race car driver. It's like, well, certainly you're winning and you're not. They're like cartoonists. I know. Go to twisted plots.com, support it.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Right. So, but how do you do it for politics? How do you figure if someone actually is good at running systems? And here's the other problem. Let's say they are and they go, we have to cut SNAP benefits for 37 million people, but they'll revolt. But we have to. I mean, I'm telling you, I'm the expert, we have to do it. They're going to be like, okay, they'll chop your head off.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Well, this is exactly why I say almost every night that I'm on the show that we need to hold the principle of subsidiarity and keep things operating at the most local possible level. Because when things are federalized, when things are federalized, subsidiarity and monarchy aren't the same thing, but you can have a monarchist system that follows subsidiarity. The point, though, is that things that have to be handled to the most local possible level should be handled to the most local possible level. And when you don't do that, you end up with a bloated federal government. And as you mentioned, Tim, it's hard to find people who are competent enough to do these jobs. If someone is competent enough to do all of the things that someone in a role in the federal government should theoretically be able to do, like, they're not going to work for the federal government. They're going to make a lot of money in the private sector. When things are done at the local level, a less band.
Starting point is 01:06:05 with is required from the person in the position. And B, you know, hyper-competent people are more willing to give back to their community and the people around them. Right, right, right. I agree, but you can't select for it at a federal level. But you can't also run this government without federal level politicians. And it's always going to devolve the way it is. Yep. So look, I was, I mentioned this. I was talking to, I did an interview with Senator Rand Paul. And I said to him that there's not going to be any member of Congress, maybe just he and Thomas Massey, who will campaign on, I will cut your benefits. No one will do it.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Republicans say, we'll keep your benefits the way they are. We won't touch them. And Democrats say, we'll double them. And that's the only direction you can move. Otherwise, no one will vote for you. And that's what's going to happen until the system explodes. And because this woman is as dumb as a box of rocks. And I feel bad saying that because I'm not trying to insult rocks.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Wait a sec. Okay, wait a sec. You're going to sell a lot of stuff. Or box. A lot of stuff. Being a woman voter. A lot of women vote and they vote correctly. They just don't tell her.
Starting point is 01:07:05 husbands because I know I have a lot of friends. But also I want to talk to you about running up and running down. What happens in California and a lot of other places, especially big city and big Democratic, is you run up the ticket or down the ticket, depending on what the DNC wants you to do or the RNC wants you to do. Or in our case, Act Blue. If you run on a ticket, you can pick the ticket. And that's probably what's going to happen in California for the governor's race. And it's also a jungle primary. So this governor's race could change very drastically in the coming months. Most importantly is you're absolutely right about keeping it tribal in the cities. There's a reason for that. But the biggest problem that we have in California, which how goes
Starting point is 01:07:41 California goes the rest of the country? The biggest problem that we have in California is we have no economic development. We do not grow our business at all. We have run every six million people have left, every single one of them pays taxes. Nobody stayed there that doesn't pay taxes. Without economic development, the only option for a state is to raise taxes. You can't can't cut benefits because you've got to get rid of the people that need those benefits. It's a different problem altogether. You've got to have economic development. And if we don't have it, which we haven't had in California for three decades, one of the most interesting things about mayors matter is that I have asked if the lieutenant governor of our state has visited any of the
Starting point is 01:08:19 mayors that I've interviewed so far. And the answer is no. All of them, no. They don't, 14 didn't know who she was. So at the end of the day, if you don't have economic development in your state, you cannot grow your base. You can only survive by charging higher taxes. And that's what's happening in California. You have to keep it local. And then you've got to stop the Sacramento in our case from reaching down to small communities like Cerritos or wherever and saying, hey, we need you to put more housing in. In California, every bill is named in a way that makes it enticing to people that want something for nothing, like the mansion tax. Mansion tax isn't mansion tax. It's transfer tax. It's a levy.
Starting point is 01:08:58 It's an illegal levy on all classes of real estate. It killed the real estate market a trillion dollars in Los Angeles. And we are all suffering from that. And Gavin Newsom is leaving, and he's going to leave our state, $500 billion, half a trillion dollars in the whole. And this is the crazy thing. So if one particular individual has a billion dollars or their net worth is a billion, people on the left go, no one should have that much money. But then when you have these stupid policies that literally just erase a billion dollars from the economy,
Starting point is 01:09:27 Oh, that's no big deal. Who cares? It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where's all of our concern about all of the things that could have been done for vulnerable people with that billion dollars? That just vanished once the government wasted it instead of one guy having it. But I want to ask you something because you mentioned that you worked in real estate development. And my intuition, based on everything I've understood from the news cycles and what I know about California is that that's an absolute nightmare out there. How do you navigate that? And what do you think could be done to fix that? Well, when I saw what happened in Hawaii, I thought I'd never seen anything like it, and it's exactly what's happening to us. It's a land grab. Everybody that's in real estate in a big way, including, you know, developers, I don't even want to name names, are buying up distressed, burnt real estate because it's 11 months into it a couple days. We wouldn't mind if you named some names. You're going to hear about them really soon. they've passed this thing called SB 79, which is a high-density bill. And a high-density bill is the equivalent of, you know, if I built a seven-story building right next to your house out there, you know, how would you like that? If I just came in and rolled up and said, hey, I'm going to put a seven-story apartment
Starting point is 01:10:37 building right here. They change the actual zoning. I would say, do it, fill it with Section 8. I'd love that. I would like it because it would increase my property value. You think it would? Okay, so that's a good question. Depends on the area.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Part of the problem is like in New York, I think part of the biggest, the biggest, Some people are going to argue with me, but New York was built on this stock exchange. That's what created New York. New York was the stock exchange. And, you know, $4.7 trillion spinning around the earth, okay? But over since COVID, you know, we got $7.8 trillion spinning around outside of the earth that none of us ever touch, okay? And that's where Wall Street lives. It doesn't live in New York anymore. You don't have to show up every day on the floor.
Starting point is 01:11:12 You don't have to pull tickets and get on the phone and call everybody. So if the new mayor decides that he wants to give away New York, the majority of the real money in New York, is they're just visiting New York. Business doesn't happen in New York anymore. It happens on, it's not the same thing. In California, our Wall Street is our Gold Coast. It's real estate. So it's here. It's not here.
Starting point is 01:11:32 So we have to protect it or we're just going to lose it to the masses, which I don't think happening. A lot of the real estate burned down and they're not going to let it be brought back. That's correct. They're going to turn it into high density housing. Well, yeah, so I want to ask you about that. I mean, do you think anything can be done prevent this? And if you could recommend one policy for California, ask someone who actually works in this field, everyone says trust the experts. I think the experts are the people who are actually able to make a living in the field.
Starting point is 01:11:59 So, like, ask someone who is an expert in the sense that you know how the market functions well enough to operate in it. If there was one thing that the state of California could do differently to get more houses built, what would that be? Oh, I was going to get more houses built? Yeah, yeah, to get more houses built. Well, I was going to say, though, if I could have one policy, it would be voter ID. Oh, amen. Well, amen, of course. That's a given.
Starting point is 01:12:21 All right. And debris on rail. We wouldn't drive everything on trucks. And we wouldn't change zoning. Okay, number one thing you cannot do is it's called ripping the rug. You make an investment in something, and then I come along and I change the zoning. Yeah. And if you're changing the zoning, then people aren't going to invest.
Starting point is 01:12:36 And when you rip the rug, people won't invest. And that's, by definition, what's wrong with California. We change the rules after you've already made your decision. So you build, we need work. housing and nobody wants to call it workforce housing because they don't like the name of it. So why don't we call it, you know, employee accommodations? You know, I don't care what we call it, but if you move a company in there, you've got to give them a place to live. We try to build a railroad, our high-speed rail.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Oh, my gosh, yeah, was a disaster. Okay, well, would it surprise you to know that probably 25% of the money that was used for high-speed rail went into the brick-and-mortar structure? The rest of it went to all the people fighting the rail. So you can't, you know, it's bureaucracy cannot build. and if you have a government the size of hours with that kind of spending you've already taken the taxpayers they're paying $6,000 $7,000 a year
Starting point is 01:13:20 just to pay salaries for government before you do anything else. That's why we don't have enough police. That's why we don't have enough fire. So in real estate, we cannot rip the rug. We cannot rezone things. And also, we have property tax. Property tax is for police and fire.
Starting point is 01:13:35 What does it say on your property tax bill here? It says we are stealing from you. Okay. Property tax bill And you got to say no like you did in Chicago, Tim. It says right on it. Read it. It says what it's for.
Starting point is 01:13:48 You can't scare me. It's probably not that terrible here. Is it property tax? Taxes in West Virginia are really, really bad. Because this was a Democrat state for a long time. And it only recently turned Republican. It has some of the worst tax law in the country. Well, I'm curious because also, I know there was some proposition voted on in the 90s.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Last time I was in California, I was actually surprised. by, I know the property taxes there seem high, but they're actually low compared to other blue states. Well, that's because we have this thing called Prop 13, which is this 1%. Yeah, right. And it's like protected by this group. They're called the Howard Jarvis group. Basically, they come in and protect it. And they're the gatekeepers, I should say.
Starting point is 01:14:30 And they've literally fought everything off since 1979. And this mansion tax thing snuck in there. And the mansion tax, like, if you have a lot in the Pacific Palisades with $5 million, you are paying mansion tax on that burned out ash pile. That's crazy. It's insane. And also, you know, it affected the real estate market so badly in LA that nobody wants to trade, so the real estate just stopped trading.
Starting point is 01:14:50 And that's the same as Wall Street stopping trading. Yeah. So the whole thing's affected. And if I were the governor of the state, I would never rezone with people that have invested. It's just not cool. And we do have a housing problem, but what we really have is a homeless problem because we have anywhere to put them with. And we're too, like, soft on the problem.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Like, you have to separate people. We have to say, hi, what's your, you know, come up to the table. Are you a drug addict? Are you forever homeless? Are you just having a tough time? Do you think that they let the wildfires happen on purpose? Well, I definitely think that they, that's a good question. And part of me does.
Starting point is 01:15:22 So let me preface that with a couple things. First, there was the claim that, like, they didn't have, they didn't send enough firefighters out in time. There's another claim that firefighters, initially when the fire was put out because it reignited, knew that there was still some embers, and they were instructed to leave and did. I don't know if that's true or not, but those are the rumors I see online.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Okay, so what happened is we've got a pretty big environmental control that was in place about three decades ago that says we have to protect brush thistle, which is this weird brush that grows underneath all of the forestry. We also have urban forestry. We have the Santa Monica Conservatory. We have all these groups that manage open space. None of them have any money, so they never clean it. So everywhere around is basically like a tender box, right? So a fire starts and it's just impossible. On top of it, we have not maintained our water and our water structures and our water pumping and all of our reservoirs are all dilapidated.
Starting point is 01:16:16 One was closed, the one that we used for the Palisades was closed. This is, again, a problem with just maintaining infrastructure. Again, property taxes for infrastructure, police and fire and schools. That's what it's for. All of it is a shed show. Can I say that on air? Sorry. Well, we've already seen.
Starting point is 01:16:32 It was climate change because of the fires. I just said beep. Climate change is gone now. So now they have, well, we definitely heated it up there. So now we have the same problem where basically they haven't, you know, they're not doing any brush clearance and they're not fixing the water problems. But more importantly is they found this guy that lit a fire in the Lachman fire, this little fire. It was like 10 acres or something.
Starting point is 01:16:55 And they put it out. They called and put it out about 10 days before the real fires or seven days before the real fires. They put it out. And the guy went to Florida or left. Now the big thing is, did the city cause it? to the state cause it. I don't want to push name names and say who did it because I'm not sure. But at the end of the day, what it looks like to me is that if they have an arsonist in the middle of this thing, whether he did or didn't, it removes liability from the state and city.
Starting point is 01:17:18 And to me, that's like not, I mean, this kid's going to get hung up. I'm sure he lit the fire. I'm sure it was terrible. But they didn't knock it down all the way or it relit. I think this guy like flicked a cigarette or something and then he searched on his phone, can I get in trouble for an accidental fire or something? Yeah. The implication being he was smoking out at the brush. And nobody's up there going, oh, yeah, this guy caused these fires. What caused these fires is we didn't have any water.
Starting point is 01:17:41 We didn't have the fire department is paper thin. There's just not enough people. They've made so many cuts. Half the equipment doesn't work. And then you have this massive, you know, crazy brush thing. I think society's just crumbling. Yeah. And I'm not saying it lightly.
Starting point is 01:17:57 I mean, everywhere I look, society is fractured in some ways. I think this largely has to do with no new young people. we are in it. Every year we had a consistently large number of 16 year olds to enter the low-skill workforce, 18-year-olds, 20-year-olds, except this time.
Starting point is 01:18:18 So Democrats try flooding the country with illegal immigrants thinking this might solve the problem. Of course, it will not because all you're doing is bringing in Honduran farmers to try and replace what should have been assistant managers at, you know, in an office or something. It's not going to work. And so now we have
Starting point is 01:18:33 all these stories. The latest one of the the semi-truck with the naked Chinese guy in it who can't speak English and doesn't know what street signs are because they're like, we need people and we'll take whatever, it doesn't work that way. And so I think it's crumbling. You said there's no firefighters. Yep, no firefighters. We can't even open restaurants out here because they couldn't find staff to work in the kitchens. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:53 I think there's also this really big disconnect with what's happening in the tech industry. I mean, you know, Amazon just laid off, what, 14,000 people? 30. Did they raise it? Yesterday it was 14? The initial report was that they were going to cut 30,000. So yesterday was 14,000, I think. I mean, that's tremendous.
Starting point is 01:19:11 You know, Walmart is the largest... 14,000 was confirmed yesterday, up to 30,000 potentially. All those people, like, you know, with their little STEM degrees and all that stuff, what are they going to do? There's no shop in schools. We need to bring back shop in high schools. I mean, how do you not have shop?
Starting point is 01:19:25 How do you not teach people basic skill set? Oh, we got to abolish high school. Okay. Well, first of all, there's this whole thing going on. While I was here, by the way. High school is the problem. I was in D.C. I went to this really cool conference at Heritage and they were talking about removing iPhones out of schools from K through 12 because of the decline in learning.
Starting point is 01:19:45 And it's tremendous if you look at the math on it and Descentus is already, DeSantis and Florida has already started it. And I'm going to propose the initiative in California. I think it's a really great idea. I think the school is the decline in learning. I think government institutionalized learning facilities make communists. Oh, that's probably true, especially in college. It is. I've had personal experience with some of the stuff. I tell a lot of stories, but I had one story where there's an individual I hired for a job with a master's degree, and they couldn't figure it how to solve simple problems on the back end of a website. Literally something you could just Google search. It was rudimentary. I don't want to get too personal, but they said, I need to be told what to do. And I said, that's not how this works. You are hired for the job, so you do it. If I was working on the back end of a website, I'd be the web site. I'd be the webbed. But when you're hired for that job, you figure it out. They couldn't because they spent 24 years of their lives in an environment where they're told what to do every time, as opposed to solving the problem on their own. So I say, I have no problem with some kind of education system, but our current public government institutionalization just makes communists who are dependent on government and expect government to feed them.
Starting point is 01:21:01 How does it work schools in our country? lunchtime, you go to the cafeteria, the government food is available. It's low quality. It's crap, but the government has it for you. Got a problem? Talk to the government. Then you get out, these young people, we all laughed. We're like, man, when these kids get out of college, they're in for a rude awakening.
Starting point is 01:21:17 And what happened? They got out of college and they were in for a rude awakening, except we didn't realize they were violent and threatened these American society saying, no, no, no, we don't care the way you think it should be. We're going to beat you until you give us what we want. So we started seeing college students screaming. their professors, get their professors fired, then they get out of college. Now they're in the workforce. They nukeed Bud Light and Target. They are just destroying everything because these people,
Starting point is 01:21:44 they're voting for Zoran Mamdani and Gavin Newsom, because they're just saying the government should always tell us what to do because we raised them to think so. Well, and this gets into this point about what they tell us, what stories they tell us. We all remember the narrative about the Great Depression we were given in school. Everything was horrible because the government wasn't doing enough and then FDR stepped in and saved the day. It's like, well, actually the United States had the slowest economic recovery of any developed nation on the entire planet.
Starting point is 01:22:10 FDR confiscated everybody's gold. He put people in internment camps. He literally set prices based on what he thought were lucky numbers that came to him in dreams. He had more than two terms. He was all of the things that
Starting point is 01:22:25 they say that Trump is going to be. He was all of the things that they warn us about Trump being. And we were told he was a hero, we're told he's like the best president we ever had. Why? Because he radically expanded the size and scope of government. Yeah. Yeah. Do you, did you like high school? Um, no, I didn't like school. I didn't like, listen, I had some awesome teachers, but I just was not into school. Yeah, I think schools are designed. Did you like high school? I didn't go. Did you drop out of high school? I think I went for maybe like, I think it was
Starting point is 01:22:55 three months and then, uh, and then I stopped going and got homeschooled. You're super smart though. You have a high IQ. I, I suppose. I think that probably comes to the fact that I was homeschooled before starting grade school. And I think the problem for me was, I call it a problem, but I was homeschooled before starting kindergarten. So I entered grade school three or four grades ahead of everybody. And it is annoying when your teachers are lying to you and you know they're lying to and they lie to everybody. And that's what our schools do. So it's just all.
Starting point is 01:23:32 I think I'm not going to tell every single story about school I could, but I can tell one, which was a relatively formative moment for me where I've known, I knew negatives before I even went to grade school, how to count negatives or whatever. And I was in, I think it was eighth grade, and I'm doodling, and the teacher had a stupid math problem. It was like 30 minus 50. And she's going to catch me and she says, who could answer this question? And she yells at me. She was, Mr. Pool. And then I look up and I'm negative 20. And I go back to the, doodling little stick figures and she goes, and what's the formula? And I was like, what formula? She's like, what's the formula for 30 minus 50? And I said,
Starting point is 01:24:10 five, four, three, two. What are you talking about? There's some stupid circuitous method for flipping the minus sign and spinning it around. And I said, I was like, I don't understand. I gave you the right answer. And she was like, yes, but we're here to learn formula. And I said, but I don't need that if I can just do it in my head, which is like a fairly common thing that you hear all the time of the trope of the student being like, I know how to do the math. And then I, I said something to her like, I'm sorry if I'm smarter than you and don't have to do it the hard way. And so I got detention. And then I was like, school's fake.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Because she wasn't trying to teach me. She wasn't trying to improve my math skills. She was just trying to waste my time. And so I'm over this. And then what happened was when I go to high school, I'm in a public high school. And I'm sitting in a literature class where the student is going, Amazon. And the teacher goes, Amazon.
Starting point is 01:24:59 Amazon confirms, and I'm going like, why am I sitting here? What a waste of my and everyone else's time because the classroom can only go as fast as the slowest student. So I got straight F's,
Starting point is 01:25:14 except for music class, and my parents freaked out and pulled me and my brother out and then we got homeschooled instead. And that was when I was 14. And so instead of going to high school, I skateboarded playing music and programmed video games
Starting point is 01:25:26 and made websites. But you did a really good job learning. I think anyone could. So I have three kids and I homeschooled one of them. Good for you. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't do it.
Starting point is 01:25:35 That's not easy. I heard somebody to do it. That's our plan for. But he needed to be homeschooled. He didn't want to be, he didn't fit into the whole. I don't think any kids. College school's a mess. It's a mess.
Starting point is 01:25:45 Their intent, listen, the most formative, most important years of a human beings life are the ages zero through five. And our, our society says, do nothing. Now, to be fair, there are a lot of kids programs, but what we're giving to our kids these days and in the past 20 years is psychobabble garbled nonsense on YouTube that ranges from insane deranged sexualized Sonic the Hedgehog not a joke yeah literally what they're doing blood guts murder eating feces and they're giving it to babies and on the and the best case scenario is a video from Mickey from a Disney Jr where it's like four hours it's not a joke it's I think
Starting point is 01:26:25 it's like four hours straight of Mickey Mouse singing hot dog. That will make your kid a retard and I'm not exaggerating. And so you, so for me I was lucky in that I'm two and my mom's like, let's do math. Other kids are sitting from a screen where they're going, hot dog, hot dog, hot dog.
Starting point is 01:26:44 It's not a joke. I am not making a joke. I know. I know what you're talking about. Hot dog, hot dog. I know exactly what you're talking about. I mean, it's just wild to me that there is even a date about whether phones should be in classrooms. Wait, wait, that's exactly. I'm sorry. Mary, Mary, Mary, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:27:00 I was wrong. It's not four hours. It's 14. It's 10 hours. Look, I'm not joking. Disney Jr., 25 million subscribers, hot dog dance, 10-hour version.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Parents are putting this front of their babies and pressing play, and it is literally 10 hours of Mickey Mouse singing the same thing, your kids are going to be retards, and they're going to have deranged world views about people. They're going to get surgical Mickey Mouse.
Starting point is 01:27:28 ears attached to their heads. This is not a joke. And if you do agree with me that we need to get these out of the school. All of this is, listen, my, so my daughter is now eight months old. And I am, my, my, my wife. Congratulations, by the way. I appreciate it. And my mother-in-law were playing children's music, which is the fine children's music of like
Starting point is 01:27:52 the wheels on the bus. And I said no to this. Not that I have the unilateral authority, but I strongly expressed my disdain and changed the music. And I said the issue is, never before in the history of humanity did we have children's content until the last 60 or 70 years. Children used to learn by observing their parents. That was it. We didn't, we didn't lie to them and create fake versions of reality because babies need to see exactly what adult life is so they can absorb that and emulate it. So when you play music like Wheels on the Bus,
Starting point is 01:28:28 which a lot of people are going to be like, Tim, you're a party pooper and let kids be kids. I don't care. You do whatever you want. My point is, my daughter, there's a really great song by the band, Me Without You. The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie is the song. And it's the parable of The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie, literally in an indie rock song. And I'm like, that's my limit on children's music.
Starting point is 01:28:49 An actual indie rock band with a song from the 2000s, but it's the real parable of the Fox. You guys know the story of the Fox, the Crow and the cookie, right? No. The Fox tries to steal the cookie, but the, he can't and the crow snatches it. So the Fox goes to the crow and says, Mr. Crow, would you please share? And the crow won't do it. So then he says, well, if you're not going to share it, please, would you sing for me? Because your voice is so beautiful, it would ease my pains and fears.
Starting point is 01:29:14 And the crow, as arrogant as he is, says, well, of course I'll sing. And then the cookie falls down. The Fox snatches it runs off. It's a great parable. And it's a rock song. But I'm like, my, you know, the songs we're going to play, we're going to play like classic rock songs. We're going to play classical music, classic rock songs, real music that adults listen to. Nothing explicit.
Starting point is 01:29:33 That's, you know, came later. But I don't want hot dog, hot diggedy dog garbage. That's the problem with this, Miss Rachel. She's talking to the kids like this. Hi, babies. And then she has these really brightly colored animations on the screen, trying to hyperstimulate the child's mind. and they literally see colors in more saturated light than adults do, and hear sounds a different way at that age.
Starting point is 01:29:59 It's mesmerizing, and they're glued to the screen. My daughter listens to devil went down to Georgia, and great songs like that. Dude, did you see the viral tweet about that about devil goes down to Georgia? Not which one. Someone was like, it's such a uniquely American song because in any other culture it would be about hubris in challenging the devil to a fiddling contest, but of course, in this song, like, he's actually better at it than the devil.
Starting point is 01:30:26 That is pretty great. I mean, the song's amazing. However, I like the other meme better. I don't know if you saw it where it said. When I was younger, I was scared because I genuinely thought the devil's band, the devil's band sounded way better than. Yeah, what was it? It was his band of demons. That's such a great band.
Starting point is 01:30:45 That was a fun, fun, really great song. Yeah. Yeah, solid one. That was a real short period, though, of music. It didn't last a long time. No, it didn't. Well, so what you were saying earlier about the debate about, like, whether smartphones should be allowed in the classroom.
Starting point is 01:30:58 It just shouldn't even be a debate. I never... Right, there should be a classroom. I was never allowed to have phones in the classroom. I went to incredibly strict schools, and it was not even... Like, that wasn't even a conversation. You had to wear uniforms. You weren't allowed to express yourself.
Starting point is 01:31:13 If you so much as whispered in class, it was like, you're out of here. And you either follow the rules or you're out. And we just learned that there is a hierarchy between us, the students, who are meant to be taught, and the teachers who are authority figures. And it just wasn't questioned. I do want to stress, I don't know how my daughter will end up turning out because she only watches two types of programming, married to strangers, which is like 90-day fiancé and, you know, that's what women watch. Because my wife watches that all the time. And then Fox News. So that's it.
Starting point is 01:31:46 She doesn't actually watch it because we don't let her watch watch, but. I'll be watching the news and she'll be in the room and that's what's on. She'll hear it. Yeah, and then when I leave, my wife will put on Love is Blind or 90-day fiancé or whatever. So she might like have an accent like a news anchor or an influencer? Well, a Republican influencer. I didn't want to say this to Jesse Waters, but when the Five is on and Greg Gutfeld talks, she gets excited and looks at the screen. And then it switched to Jesse and she started crying.
Starting point is 01:32:15 And then when Greg started talking, she stopped and, and, and then when Greg started talking, she stopped and, and, worked up again. When Greg Gutfeld is your Miss Rachel. That's so funny, dude. I mean, I definitely think that, you know, I have a very strong opinion about, you know, whether or not schools for everybody,
Starting point is 01:32:31 and I don't think it is for everybody. Agreed. You know, not a lot of people can have a situation where they have two people at home and they can stay home and raise their kids at home. And public school serves, you know, the greater good. It really does. But it's terribly unacceptable.
Starting point is 01:32:45 But it's not, but you have to have, you have to have some version of it. And the math that I saw the other day in this symposium about what the iPhone and what phones have done, especially smartphones to kids since 2012, in terms of their ability to learn, pay attention, stimulation, things like that, it's mind-boggling.
Starting point is 01:33:05 This is an unacceptable condition for our country. It's insane. That you have to have both parents working. And Zoban Mamdani says that he's going to give free child care. And this is part of the communist plan. Can you imagine who's going to be working? watching them. Government. The point is what he's really saying is give your children to the state. And they're clapping and cheering.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Utopians have said this for all of history. Even go back to Plato's Republic. They always want to undermine the family. They want to take children away from parents as early as possible. This is part of the agenda. By the way, I think kindergarten and preschool and all school is free childcare. Yeah, yeah. I think especially those are with... So we should make it as good as we can make it and that's this is a start. And we should put shop back in school. I mean, I don't know. I don't know why we don't put things in schools that the kids really want to learn or need to learn. Well, I appreciate you mentioning, by the way, though, that you don't think schools for everyone.
Starting point is 01:33:56 I've got my dad's very, very brilliant. His brothers are also smart, but, like, my dad was book smart. He loves school. His brothers did not. They, like, basically all became Chicago police. Very smart guys, but just did not like to sit still. Didn't like to sit in a desk. And one of my uncles, he ended up, may he rest in peace, he was detective.
Starting point is 01:34:16 So very, very smart guy. but my dad has this story about when they were kids and my dad loves school and his brother hated it his brother said I hate school a bunch of women make you sit there and talk to him well I mean I agree with the concept that school is not for everyone but if we're to have schools
Starting point is 01:34:35 the kids need to be treated like little soldiers very austere they need to have authority that they respect I think it's very much about learning how to get get along with people. The problem with schools is that children are learning from children. Yep. That is not the way human society has ever functioned and it can't function. Well, and also nowadays, we break them up into different age groups. So it's like you are with your grade, but children never developed that way historically. You were talking to older kids and younger
Starting point is 01:35:06 kids. So you were not in this weird niche where your development was stultified. There's a viral video that we bring up quite a bit where it's like kids post-World War II being interviewed. And it's like a seven-year-old kid going like, I'm quite concerned with the economy of Switzerland. You know, following the war and everyone's like, how do these kids sound like adults? Because the only thing they've ever been exposed to is adults having these conversations. Now what's happened is 10-year-olds don't learn from the teacher. They hate the teacher and ignore the teacher. They learn from 10-year-olds.
Starting point is 01:35:38 And so you're basically running, you're taking copies of copies and copying off each other. Instead of the kids learning from adults, they're just doing. random garbled nonsense. And this is the leftist way where they say children are blank slates and they want the kids to decide their own names for themselves and to figure what gender they really are. Instead of being told they are a thing with a definitive form and a name. Yeah, that's right. And you can tell the difference, by the way. I mean, at my church, there's the church I used to go to before I moved in the town that I went to college and there was this really great traditional Latin Mass community. And not everyone homeschooled, but
Starting point is 01:36:16 some of the parents did. And like you could just tell their, their children were so precocious compared to the others. They spoke on a much more adult level with a more advanced vocabulary because they were speaking with their parents and they were actually being educated at their level instead of, as Tim mentioned, being held back by the dumbest kids in the class. Let's just be blunt about it. Like the slowest kid who the teacher has to slow down for. It's absolutely infuriating to me because I was fortunate enough that I had a number. call it arrogance or testosterone to tell everyone around me to shut up and I would do whatever I want. But the kids around me that I see that had potential whose lives are ruined because of the
Starting point is 01:36:56 public schooling system, it breaks my heart. And the kids I knew who are dead because of the public school system from gangs, from violence and from drug use. It should never have been that way and it wouldn't have been that way if we had a proper functioning society. But we've industrialized and we've communismized, not completely. but this is absolutely insane that parents are like, I have no choice. We both have to work. Well, I can't tell you it's possible. I can't tell you what you have to do or what you can do.
Starting point is 01:37:27 What I would suggest and what I try to do is strive to homestead. Do your best. Our plan for our daughter is going to be homeschool pods. We're fortunate that basically everybody in our community is having babies. So I think let me just do some like one, two, three, four, five, six. There's like six babies in the past several months. It's fantastic. Yeah. This means that they're going to grow up with each other.
Starting point is 01:37:54 They're going to learn from us, but we are going to – there's a couple ways that I think it could and should be done. One of the ideas that I had was every parent takes a turn, you know, one day of the week being the teacher for the kids. Or the easy route for everybody is you hire a teacher. However, considering we are all somewhat like moderate to very traditional in. our community. You've got a lot of of the moms who intend to be full-time moms. So I'm actually fairly confident that
Starting point is 01:38:24 with this big network we have, the moms are going to be very, they're going to be, it's very possible they will be the teachers in the early years for our kids, which will allow us to be these kids. I mean, look, there's I think five and a half, maybe six million students
Starting point is 01:38:40 in California. And I think there's 7,000 high schools. 10,000 elementary middle schools. So you've got a large group of people that are the future, and we need to do everything we can to make the school system work because there's no easy fix. And I think the iPhone thing or the telephones out of the schools is a very good start.
Starting point is 01:39:06 And also not most teachers, when they enter into the teaching businesses because they really want to do it. And imagine what it's like... I don't believe that for a second. Oh, there's lots of. great teachers. I'm sure there are, but my experience with the industry and with people who have been teachers is that, so the friends of mine who got into teaching were like, I was surprised to find how many people hate this job and never wanted it. And the reason they took it was because they
Starting point is 01:39:31 got a degree and couldn't find anything else, so they decided to get into teaching. Well, that's probably true. That's a lot. I wouldn't say that's the majority, though. And I would say that, especially young kids. And this is more anecdotal and personal, but there was probably one teacher that I've had in my life that I thought was actually a good teacher and the rest were abusive to some capacity. From negligent to abusive is the experience I've had in the Chicago public school system. It's terrible. And it's worse than that because we've got stories out of Chicago where there was one like six-year-old kid who they locked in a padded room because he was having a temper tantrum and then they wouldn't let him out and left in there so he defecated all over himself.
Starting point is 01:40:10 That's Chicago public schools. So I can't speak to California. But my my experience, A lot of people is the school systems are all broken. I just say, look, there's going to be a lot of people who can't or don't care or whatever the issue is. But they're the future of America. The parents? The parents. Of course they are, which means the parents need to do everything in their power to give their kids the best opportunity imaginable. And it is surprising to me how many parents refuse to.
Starting point is 01:40:38 I can't believe how many parents are like, I know full well that the state will take my child from me and stare. them, I'm going to send them into the school anyway. How many people we've interviewed in the show who are like, you know, I know full well that the high school in my area is showing kids pictures of dildos and teaching them about anal and things like this, I'm going to send them there anyway. Oh, it's terrible. And I'm like, why? Why are you doing that?

Starting point is 01:41:46 Malo Baby says the county's U.S. account for 70% of federal revenue. How is there no money to pay anything because it's BS? Black Nexus says Snap is no different than UBI at this point, and I'm against it. If you use my taxes to buy Starbucks at a grocery store, then shut it down and destroy it. Agreed. What do we have here? Yaki India. If people want to live under socialism, then give them socialism.
Starting point is 01:42:13 Make EBT Snap stores or purchase it. can be controlled. Here's an idea. You can choose to opt in. How about this? If you ever want to receive benefits, you opt into a system where you can never profit again.
Starting point is 01:42:29 I'll be clarified, you will never be allowed to profit until you pay back what was put in the system. So here's how it would work. You fall in hard times and you go, I have no choice. I need welfare.
Starting point is 01:42:38 And they say, right this way. Here's your card. You now can purchase anything you want with it. However, any money you make will be taken from you instantly until it's paid back. So I know people are probably going to argue like we pay taxes into it already. My point is you can ever make money.
Starting point is 01:43:01 You will be in socialism forever in that system. Oh, and you also can't vote. Well, yeah, that's the thing. I would say. Can't vote while you're receiving benefits. After a certain amount of time on benefits, I would say that a person shouldn't be able to vote. I think if this is someone who's been a net positive taxpayer their whole life. And so they weren't able to save a safety net.
Starting point is 01:43:18 And now they're withdrawing from the system on hard times. I'm fine with that. But after a certain amount of time, I would agree, I think a person shouldn't be able to vote. You can't just take, because their incentive is just going to be able to vote for more welfare. It's a difficult one. But there is a terrible problem with, it's also the same problem with politicians voting. Because they're voting for things that keep them working. Yep. That's a really interesting.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Should you be able to vote for something that's going to benefit? you but not others. Yeah, exactly. Or to take from others to give to yourself. Maybe we need to restrict voting to, you know, maybe a smaller group of people, perhaps. How about just an ID to start? Can we just start with needing an ID? Oh my gosh. That's true. You can't because politicians will only vote for policies and their benefit. All right. Flawed legacy says, Tim and Crew, do you think it's possible that grocery prices are only high because EBT is technically subsidizing grocery store in the same way. Colleges increase prices when the government is paying.
Starting point is 01:44:14 I would say it's not the only reason that they're high, but it definitely brings a price up. Yep, because it increases demand without increasing supply. More people. So it depends. It's actually kind of difficult. I'd argue this. Theoretically, it might bring prices down because of volume.
Starting point is 01:44:34 So, like, we're working on pool water right now, and we absolutely could sell them for 20 bucks, but if you order them direct, you got to pay for shipping, which is, it's water, so it's expensive. We're talking with distributors and we're talking with the manufacturer. And so if we do your standard glass bottle with a twist cap, they shrink wrap it, we can get them to around like 20 bucks, I think. I think it would end up being like 22 with taxes and all this stuff out the door. But we don't, we, like, we're not literally trying to just stick it to liquid death by making
Starting point is 01:45:06 a cheap product. So I said, no, let's do cardboard boxes. Let's do paper stickers instead of plastic. stickers. It's still going to have the cap with the plastic gasket, but we're not pretending we're anti-plastic the same way that the liquid death is. So it's probably going to be like 25 out the door. If we sold one million cases, it would be 15 out the door. Because then we'd end up making like three cents per case, but the profit we get after cost, like, it's way better than we get from selling for 25. So volume matters. If, if theoretically, if you increase the amount of people
Starting point is 01:45:44 buying the product, Coca-Cola can drop the price way down because volume is where they find their profit. But if the purchasing pool shrinks, they're going to charge more money. So it's hard to say for sure. All right, Miss for Missy says, ooh, nice spooky intro. Mwahaha, my spooky fine of Timcast and their discord is complete. Spooky leader Missa. Well, okay. Shehadee Svadoer says, I saw a news interview where a black woman was complaining about losing snap. She said that this is the government trying to hurt black women who can't get jobs. She added she doesn't want to work. This is Schrodinger's welfare.
Starting point is 01:46:20 It's either something that white people disproportionately benefit from because when people don't understand per capita, that's what they say. Oh, the largest group receiving these welfare benefits are white. But then when you go to cut those benefits, they go, oh, this is targeting black people. You can't have it both ways. Yeah, you're right. You can actually. No, I stand corrected. You can have it.
Starting point is 01:46:39 You can have it that way. You can just lie. Yeah. Indeed. Let's grab some more. TVPG says, Attention Walmart shoppers. We will be closed November 3rd from 630 to 730.
Starting point is 01:46:51 Sorry for any inconvenience. Well, there you go. Van Roy says, Mary, you probably shouldn't get a golden retriever. Those fur missiles would turn your black clothes into fur suits. I wasn't considering it. But thanks for being right. All right.
Starting point is 01:47:11 Rivka, the Jade Gamer, says Tim, in 2020, the Supreme Court of the U.S. ruled in Ramos v. L.A. That state-level juries must be unanimous on every element of the crime. The concealed crime is an element of Trump's conviction, indeed and agreed. That's why it's appealed. Now, I'm going to let you guys in on a secret. Do you know why the appellate court, which heard the case a year ago, hasn't ruled on it? No, why? Because they're in a Democrat jurisdiction.
Starting point is 01:47:35 and if they come out right now and say Trump wins, they'll get lynched. But Trump is the president. And if they come out against Trump, Trump will come for them. So they're saying, let's do nothing because we don't want to be in the middle of this fight. But Trump was unjustly and wrongly convicted. And if we don't win the culture war, then you'll be in a gulag. And that's why you got to support twisted plots because we can't make culture war without culture. Okay, let's see what we got here.
Starting point is 01:48:05 Fork Name Change says Just want to say Much like gun laws Don't prevent gun crimes. Laws against Vigilantes
Starting point is 01:48:11 Don't prevent vigilantes. Faith in the court's outcome does. What happens when that faith falters? Skyland says
Starting point is 01:48:19 Easy to repeal the 19th. Toss out the ballots from women. Put the ballot box on the top of a poll requiring a pull-up
Starting point is 01:48:25 to get up there. That's a good idea. Mm-hmm. It's a possibility. All right. Evan Bunn says She's right. the majority of mayors will work for what they think is safer for the kids and people,
Starting point is 01:48:38 but through their double-speak, she has forgotten what's safer or good means to these psychopaths. Interesting. Let's see. This one's brutal. I don't know if I want to read it. Skyline says, California people deserve their homes be burned down. All the choices they made from environments, politicians, taxes led to this, not a cause
Starting point is 01:48:57 of nature like hurricanes. I mean, all of the people who you think learned a lesson from it didn't. I mean, the Pacific Palisades is, you know, Blue Check, you know, Democrat ground zero. So it's definitely, you know, a very big democratic community. But when reality slaps them in the face, they don't learn a lesson from it. They don't get humbled by it.
Starting point is 01:49:21 They just blame it on climate change. Well, you know, climate change does it all. I once saw climate change rob a bank. Got away. I've seen climate change. Wow. He stole our, the word we use for the number 20. and I chased him for miles to get it back, but he got away.
Starting point is 01:49:39 I'm sorry that that happened to you. Seamus is supposed to get the reference, but he doesn't. Is that something Abe Simpson said? It is. Is that something Abe Simpson said? Back when the Simpsons were funny and not weirdly woke, and Abe Simpson is now gay. That's true.
Starting point is 01:49:53 That did happen. Did you know that? Grandpa Simpson and the Simpsons is gay? No, but I always thought he was gay. Abe? He has children. What? Grandpa Simpson has kids. and he tried he tried dating Marge's mom.
Starting point is 01:50:06 That's right. That did happen. Yeah. Ms. Bouvier. And then Homer was like, we're going to be brother and sister. That's right. Now kids will grow an extra finger and turn pink. Yeah, and then it shows that kids they like like. Oh, right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:50:19 Children. Classic. Yeah, those were the days. Those were the days, man. All right. If you want other good cartoons, TwistedPlots.com, support the show. The SigPeeces, Timcaste, ads on Spotify uploads are still significantly louder than the program.
Starting point is 01:50:36 Hilarious EBT onic news segment today. By the way, five pack of chili, put them up, they tiddy made me L.O.L. Yeah, that was one of the EBT from TikTok. So gross. Like, there's EBT of TikTok, and it's like listening to Boomhauer. You know who Boomhauer is from King of the Hill? Yeah. I'm going to dang old man.
Starting point is 01:50:56 Bro, a food sandwich name is like a black woman. She's like, hey, I'll tell you why I'm going to go to that story. I don't take that five can of Chile. I put up that titi. I'm saying. And I was like, no, I have no idea what that was. I don't know. Only the part where you grunted, do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:51:11 Nam sane. Nam sane is what you say. All right. What do we got here? Ten buck stew says, if you think about it, half of your paycheck gets taken to support a bunch of pets you didn't even know you had. Those pets are also actively conspiring and voting against your interests. We can't keep doing this. That's why I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:51:28 Shut up down. I don't care. Everybody's like, we have to we in the. Nope. off. Bro, if I was president, I'd be the craziest MFER like ever in government. I would just be doing things.
Starting point is 01:51:38 I'd be like, try me. Ain't no way I'd turn snap back on. I think that's what we've got. I would be all. We've got president do things right now. To a great degree, to a great degree. I think it's probably true. And I think the reality is we're learning that the president alone can't do it.
Starting point is 01:51:55 You need a good staff. I think he learned that the hard way. And so now he's got some good people around them. I hope, I hope. Come November 1st, snap is off. Just off. We got to get off the addiction. We got to get off the drug, the welfare drug.
Starting point is 01:52:10 Okay? You know what people should be doing? They should be farming. They should have a homestead. We should spread out from the cities to the best degree that we can. And people should grow food in their backyard and take care of themselves. Everybody, even Seamus. I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:52:26 How many chickens do you have, Seamus? I actually did have some chickens. Did? I did, yeah. I told, you know, I moved. I moved. Did you eat the chickens? I ate one of them.
Starting point is 01:52:38 Okay, good. Good. Delicious. Good job. They are delicious. We had rooster because we breed the chicken, so we ended up with, I think, like, 16 roosters. Oh, yeah, it happened. Yeah, and so we were like, let's eat them.
Starting point is 01:52:51 And my wife made a rooster chili that everyone loved so much. It just was gone in like three minutes. So did you plug it and kill it and do it? No, no, no, no. You had it done? We had a... We have... I think what we did was our chicken tender Kim
Starting point is 01:53:08 took care of it for us. We have someone who works here who handles that stuff. I'd do it myself if I didn't... If I wasn't doing all the work for this stuff, I absolutely would just absolutely... You put them in that little funnel thing where you stick their heads through it and you chop their head off.
Starting point is 01:53:21 And then all the blood drains out and it stinks and you got to cut them up. Yeah, that sounds fun. We've done a lot of chicken practicing things at the ranch. And one of the things is, what I think is really scary is that the eat chickens, the chickens you eat they only live 52 days and if you wait too
Starting point is 01:53:35 long they actually disintegrate. It's crazy. Whoa, really? Oh yeah. And the turkeys too by the way. You mean like they're alive and they start just aren't? Yeah, they don't hold they die. The turkeys actually got holes in them because I didn't want to kill them. What kind of chickens you got? Swear to God. We have chickens that are, they've been alive for five, six years already. No, no, no. So do I. I have those two. But the specific group of chickens that you buy which are supposed to say super tender and they...
Starting point is 01:53:57 Broilers? You're talking about those like GMO chickens that They can't walk? They're like little, you hatch, you get them, they're already hatched, you order them hatched, and then you raise them in a, we have these like mobile things that move around, and yeah, you have to,
Starting point is 01:54:08 if you don't kill them on the day you're supposed to, they get, they get, they're not edible. I know that they get tough, when they get old? Well, they get tough if they walk, too. They walk? Yeah, if they walk, if they're really, truly free range,
Starting point is 01:54:19 they're much, oh, right, because the muscles move, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I, I think you gotta eat them the way nature is intended, so we had like 13, we had 16 roosters, we killed 13 of them,
Starting point is 01:54:27 and I gotta be honest just like rooster drumstick didn't do it for me it's not the same right right you know it's it was tougher and it tasted different but when cooked properly in the chili everybody immediately like when they tried the baked rooster they were like it's okay
Starting point is 01:54:43 the chili though it was gone and like through it's everybody filled up on it it was fantastic we do these organic turkeys from the sky up in Fallbrook every year and they're super skinny and I mean they just don't look like proper turkeys We cook them in underground for like 16 hours in these big ovens, but they're so tough.
Starting point is 01:55:01 We got tons of wild turkey out here. Do you? Yeah. You know what I love about them city folk? First of all, I'm not going to pretend to be a country because I'm from Chicago. But at least I understand that turkeys fly. And it's funny when people who like have never been out in the middle of nowhere come and see a flock of flying turkeys go by. And they go, what are those?
Starting point is 01:55:18 Like turkeys. What? Turkeys fly. And they sleep in trees. No, I remember when I was a little kid and I learned that turkeys could fly. It blew my mind. I was like, wait, in the wild, they fly? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:28 Well, I have swans, and they fly, and mine won't fly. Oh, well, I mean, do you run everywhere? It's not well motivated. They don't go anywhere. They don't leave the pond. Do you run everywhere? I mean, you know. But just because I can, I don't, you know.
Starting point is 01:55:39 We could run too, but, you know. I don't think they know they can fly. The other thing, too, is people don't know what turkeys look like. That's so sad. Everybody's used to the picture of the turkey when the male turkey is puffing up and threatening you. Yeah. So when people see the wild turkeys and they're actually thin and small, they ask like, what is that? And I'm like, that's a bunch of turkeys.
Starting point is 01:55:57 It's Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah. And then they're like, but I thought turkeys looked like, well, walk up to the guy and see what he does. And then he, you know, and then he looks all funny. And he mocks you. That's what he does. It's literally it.
Starting point is 01:56:08 They put their arms out and their tail gets all wide and they go, it's alpha male behavior. Exactly, 100% alpha. I respect it. They're like, get away from my girl. What you thought. All right, what I got out of here. Eight ball jacket says,
Starting point is 01:56:19 in New York Snap can be used to purchase hot food at participating Popeyes and McDonald's. No way. And even all you can eat. Chinese buffet. What? That's true. Search New York restaurant meals program. Feds need to invade New York to establish the Constitution and common sense. I wouldn't be surprised.
Starting point is 01:56:36 That's crazy. You could buy candy bars. That's what I'm saying. It's not for good fresh food anymore. It's not a nutritional diet. They should, welfare should be a bag of flour and some powdered milk. That's it. Welfare should be, we give you a bullet
Starting point is 01:56:51 and tell you where the turkeys are. No, those are my turkeys. Go get your own. Or, I mean, honestly, welfare could be, wait, here's the idea. If you need to go on welfare, then what we do is you opt into the welfare program where you get on a bus with your family. And there are these big 40-foot walls with razor wire on top and this gigantic Jurassic Park style gate that opens up. They drive you in and drop you off and say the welfare program is, you know, 15,000 acres of open land. good luck. That's it. And then they close the door behind you. That's just, there you go. And, you know, good luck. I do think food pantries are great. You know, the pantry idea is great where you can get a meal cooked and, and, you know, it's better managed. But I think there should just be no welfare at all.
Starting point is 01:57:43 Well, she's talking about food pantry, though. No, I'm saying it should all be private. And to be, to be fair, if there's a food pantry that's private, it's fine. I think society worked way better when our charity, our charity, came from churches. It was small, localized communities. And I'm not saying this in a religious sense. I'm saying when you fell on hard times and you were a good person, the community would do what they could to help you out. Insurance originated from, if my house burns down, I'll help you rebuild yours. Yeah. And everyone was like, you got to do it. So then when an accident happened, everyone's like, we have to do it. Now it's just like, don't know you. That's not my purse. I mean, it might be really... Come on, King of the L.
Starting point is 01:58:23 You something. You asked me. No, that's my purse. That's my purse. I don't know you. Is that what he said? That's my purse. That's my purse.
Starting point is 01:58:31 That's my purse. I don't know you. Yeah, and then he kicked you in balls. Classic. Anyway, sorry, you were saying something. I was saying maybe with, you know, Amazon was laying off all those people, they could open up a bunch of food pantries and stock them and feed people since they're saving so much money in payroll. Wow.
Starting point is 01:58:42 Yeah. All the things they don't want to do. All right. Invader Jay says, Shamis, I'm getting baptized this Sunday. Just had my class. tonight. It's been a long, hard road to get to this point. Deus Wolt. God bless you. God bless you. I will pray for you. Thank you, man. Thank you for saying that. That's beautiful. My favorite freedom tunes ending is when Matt Walsh, Michael Nulls and
Starting point is 01:59:03 Seamus are with the Pope and then Seamus puts on the helmet. Is that what it is? Yeah, yeah. I think maybe Walsh does, but yeah, we take the Holy Land. Our Null, was it Noles? Yeah, you take the Holy Land. It was a cartoon where it was like Candace and Shapiro dating or debating. Sorry. Whoa. What happened there? What kind of fan fiction are you making,
Starting point is 01:59:25 shame? Don't look at the unused freedom tune script archive. All the fan fix I'm writing. No, that was, we had them debate on like the whatever podcast or something. We must have done this video like three years ago. And yeah, then in the end it was like, this is what should really happen in the whole. Like the screen blinks really quick. The Holy Land belongs to Rome.
Starting point is 01:59:45 Oh, I didn't do that. I didn't put that in there. It's Michael Knowles, Shamish. and Matt Walsh wearing Templar armor and Oh my God And then you say something like, yes, my eminence Or your eminence Dude, this is a crazy thing is that like after over 600 videos
Starting point is 01:59:59 I can't even remember the exact dialogue there Yeah Yeah, we should pull that up Yeah, we will, it'd be funny All right, we'll grab one more Let's see what we got here Eclipse Eclipse
Starting point is 02:00:12 What did that say? Echylips, I don't know Tim, you're selling water Pretty sure it comes from the ground and it's supposed to be. Pickle your old chickens. Eastern Europeans know what's up. Is that what you do? You pickle them?
Starting point is 02:00:27 Well, we don't eat the chickens. We just eat the eggs. And they're fantastic. When the egg shortages were happening, ain't nobody working here had a problem. We actually have a perk of when you come by here, you work here, you get free eggs. And Libby, she comes on periodically and she always grabs a cart and eggs on her way out. Because that's what they're for, free eggs. Oh, they're so good for you, too. If they're organic, they're so good for you.
Starting point is 02:00:49 Right from the chickens, but... I remember my first time having an actual farm fresh egg blew my mind. I was like, wait, the... You're just not supposed to be light yellow? You're just... I mean, it's... I'm not going to lie, they don't taste different. I know, but they look brighter and happy. I can taste the love.
Starting point is 02:01:05 Oh, okay. It's just... Ours definitely tastes, like, richer, I think, and when you scramble them, they're really dark yellow. I love them. Yeah, that you're... So the store-bought ones, typically you'll have, like, a standard yellow. And that could be true
Starting point is 02:01:19 for the kind of chicken you have. Some of the chickens we have will have like a dark orange. It's got more iron or B vitamins, I think, in it.
