Starting point is 00:00:00 The madman has done it. Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting mail-in voting, requiring DHS to round up documents on who is a U.S. citizen eligible to vote. It's kind of a workaround to the SAVE Act. You can see that he's targeting this system because they're not passing the SAVE Act. And without it, Republicans are cooked. They really do need this. I think a lot of Americans really do want it.
Starting point is 00:00:23 And the strangest thing is, despite it being one of the most popular bills, like literally of all time. Democrats and Republicans will not pass this thing. Now, Donald Trump, I'm just going to, I'm just going to say it, he does not have the authority as president to just decree you can't have this mail in voting. And that only citizens can vote despite it being common sense, I guess. So it's likely going to be challenged. But this is the first move Trump is making to checkmate. Well, not the first move, but right now it is a major move.
Starting point is 00:00:55 He is making in this safe act play to checkmate the Democrats. We can look at all the prediction data, all the polling. Sure, it looks like people are not happy with the war. But if Trump wins this fight, oh, it's over. Because, as we all know, when it comes to elections, procedure is more important than popularity. And then, of course, my friends, Donald Trump will be attending the Supreme Court hearings on birthright citizenship tomorrow. That's big news. The Supreme Court may once and for all end the insane practice of people coming here on vacation, having a kid, and then leaving.
Starting point is 00:01:28 kid can be president? It can run for president? That doesn't make sense. They just come and then their citizens and they leave. Yeah. None of that.

Starting point is 00:03:26 Hi, guys. Thanks for having me. Who are you? Yeah, what do you do? My name is Priya Patel. I am a political commentator, I suppose. You can find me on pretty much all the platforms aside from only fans, which I think I got called out for not excluding last time. Oh, well, that's good that you're not on that platform of all the platforms. More on, it should be fun thanks for hanging out. And then, of course, DeBoys are here.
Starting point is 00:03:47 What's going on? Tate Brown. We got Carter Banks, producing, and Phil Labonte. What's up, baby? We're actually in the only fans of my joint. I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to gauge interest. Well, you know, you do have feet, and people like feet.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Considering that Kristine Homes story, which we're going to get into, hey, yikes. Maybe there's, there are people for you. Yeah, that's another story we'll talk about. Christy Nome's husband wanting to be a bimbo. Is that what it is? Who wants to be a bimbo? You know. Is that what it was?
Starting point is 00:04:16 Because at first when I read that story, it's like he was into bimboes. That's what I thought it was. Or like, he wanted women to be bimboes. But then there's a quote where he said, call me your girl or call me a girl or something like that? wearing like fake breasts in the picture? Is that just mean? Well, we'll get into that story. We'll start with like the big news.
Starting point is 00:04:34 It's funny because we're getting the show started. We're like, is that the big news? It's like it's just big boobs. Big boobs. Big boobs. Okay. Anyway, here's the story. What is it?
Starting point is 00:04:43 It was impossibly fat milkers, right? Yes. All right. Here we go. From CNBC, Trump signs executive order limiting mail in voting ahead of 2026 U.S. elections. They say, President Donald Trump on Tuesday, signed an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting.
Starting point is 00:05:01 The order will require DHS to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. It's almost certain to be challenged in court, which could block it from being enforced in time for the midterms. Quote, we want to have honest voting in our country because if you don't have honest voting, you can't have really a nation, if you want to know the truth. I love how he just adds that we call those wasted words. I'm not trying to be a dick, but we call those weight. You don't need to say that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 The list would be sent to each state, and the order directs the Attorney General to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of election officials, individuals, and other entities that violate the law by issuing or distributing federal ballots to ineligible voters. The fact sheet says the Postal Service would be required to transmit ballots only to individuals enrolled on a state-specific mail-in-absentee participation list. This is where it gets interesting. He does have that authority. He can tell the post office, if you send mail-in votes to people who are not eligible to vote, you will be held to. account for this. This is the workaround to the Save Act. If they're not going to pass the Save Act, this is the Trump Gambit for now. Certainly they will challenge him in court,
Starting point is 00:06:04 but I actually think he might win enough to where they can't stop him in time for November. It's tough because, I mean, it's one of those things where with all these, you know, with all these orders, I mean, it's Stephen Miller's cooking these up somewhere in a dark room. Hopefully. In the dark room. Yeah, dark room. In the basement. Yeah, it's all you operate. You know, you've got to focus. You've got to lock in. So he's probably like game this out, gamed out the strategy that now is the time to sign this because this could buy us enough time for November to actually deploy it. And because the save act's not going to pass. I think something to get us across the finish line. He timed it specifically for how long it will take
Starting point is 00:06:37 to be sued, then appealed, and then get to a federal court. And I think the strategy is they want to get an injunction or they want to overturn any injunctions just before the election happens. So I do think this is part of their strategy. Trump issues, this is a, this is a executive order. Democrats know this is going to be bad for them. They're going to file a suit, which could take a month or two. Then it's going to go to court, which takes a month or two. Then there's going, so then it'll get, they'll put an injunction on it. And then court for a month or two. And then, you know, then they're going to get the injunction overturned, which will be appealed to the Supreme Court or a higher court. But by then, the election is underway. Yeah. Yeah. Well, at the very
Starting point is 00:07:20 worst, it's like, just the whole point of it is to be able to withhold federal funding for states. So it's like, you just withhold funding for a few months. They've already missed out on that money, the money that they would allocate towards, you know, the polls in their budget and that sort of thing. So even if they eventually get it overturned at the Supreme Court, I also think this is a massive win in terms of the court of public opinion because, like we pointed out before, this is a massively popular position among both Republicans, Democrats, and independence across the country.
Starting point is 00:07:46 You're talking about ID for voting, right? Yeah. And, I mean, mail and ballots are obviously a massive loophole for that, specifically. So, I mean, I think overall this is going to bode well in terms of how the people are going to see it. I think that the administration kind of needs a win at this point. There's a lot of people that are pretty negative going into the midterms season. And I think that the more that the administration can do to limit any kind of fraudulent votes or anything, I think that is something that will, it's not going to make the black pillars happen.
Starting point is 00:08:22 happy, but it will help placate them. Look, if you can get people that are that are low propensity voters to actually turn out, you know, then you might, the Republicans might have a chance of keeping the Senate. I don't think the Republicans are going to keep the Senate right now. I know that they still, they still kind of, I think they have the edge in the betting markets or the prediction markets or what have you, but I don't think that they will. I think that the only way, and I've said this a bunch of times, the only way that the Republicans will keep the Senate and have a chance of keeping the house. This isn't to say they will. but have a chance of keeping the house is if the economy is doing well.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And I think that if the things that are going on in the Middle East pan out properly the way that the administration wants them to, you could see a boost in the economic activity in the U.S. And you could see a situation where, you know, people are actually feeling better about their own personal situations, which would make them more inclined to go out and vote for the current administration for Republicans. I don't think that's going to happen. I'm not making a prediction here.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'm just saying the conditions that are necessary for that to have. I don't, I wouldn't be surprised if as we get closer to the midterms, Trump fires off several executive orders, which are increasingly, increasingly, what's the right word? I don't know what the right word is for it, but powerful, perhaps, meaning more impactful. Like right now, this is a big deal. He's telling the post office, you can't transmit these ballots. He's saying, you've got to collect information on who's eligible. I wouldn't be surprised if as we get closer to the election, he says outright, like, okay, no mail in voting, no mail in voting at all. And he sends in feds to certain areas. If the Democrats win and all prediction markets, everything is tracking for Trump to lose this, for the Republicans to lose this, Trump's cooked. Yeah. It's over. Yeah. Well, I think it's one of those, I think there's two things here. I think one, Stephen Edgington made this point on Twitter today where he said it's kind of the Robert Moses strategy, a city planner in New York City where no matter what any local opposition was, what any court said. he would just plow through different blocks in the city because it's like now when the courts have
Starting point is 00:10:22 finally weighed in, it doesn't matter. I've already torn down the block. I've already built what I wanted to build. It's kind of the same idea with what Trump's doing is like, if I can just plow this through, plow my policy through before the courts can even react, what are you going to do? It's already done. Like that's the whole deal with the ballroom. They just issued an injunction on the ballroom. It's already torn down. We're already building it. Like, what are you going to do. And that's what people want. I really think that the people that are like, yo, we, we expected more out of Donald Trump. They want to see him pushing things through. He had a, he had a mandate for for his agenda. He won the popular vote. He won all the swing states. The American people liked
Starting point is 00:10:52 what he campaigned on. And they, he should be doing as much as he can to push through his agenda. Obviously, Congress, the Republicans in Congress should be doing whatever they can to support that because of the fact that he did win the popular vote and he won the swing states. And it was, it was such a landmark kind of a election. But still, he should be doing everything he can, exercising as much power as he can. And let the courts, you know, throw injunction. at him, let them do whatever they can, but he should still be moving forward at what, at the maximum pace that he possibly can, because that's the only thing that's going to make the people that are his base happy. Yeah, well, that's exactly what he was elected to do. He was elected to be
Starting point is 00:11:31 an outsider to essentially be a bulldozer to the system to, you know, clean out the swamp and get the agendas actually pushed forward that, you know, the American people want, but Congress is, you know, to. I mean, we've been, we've been, I remember every single night in 2024, I would look into the camera, I'd say, Trump, please bomb Iran. You know, it's the only thing I ever wanted. No, there's like, they're these funny posts. There's, like, the fifth, something weird is going. Let me put it like this.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Something weird is going on. Because there have been these incessant AI slot posts that say the exact same things. They go, I've had it with Tucker Carlson. I've had it with Candace Owens. I've had it with the Hodge Twins. I've had it with Timcast. I've had it. And I'm like, whoa, me.
Starting point is 00:12:17 But, no, but, no, but, Seriously, I think these are AI slot posts from generic counts or it's coordinated. And I think the general idea is like a lot of the replies are, why is Timcast being lumped up in with these people? Because the idea is just to disenfranchise the Trump base. So naturally, you already have Tucker, Candace and a handful of people that are critical of Trump, particularly over the Iran war. Dave Smith's out the door, right? But we're, you know, fairly middle of the road here at Timcast because we're. moderate individuals, right? Didn't vote for the war, don't want it, but certainly don't want
Starting point is 00:12:51 America to lose, want to make sure that Trump finds a proper path out of this one. And I know that there will be great benefits if he succeeds. But it seems like it's obvious. The midterms are coming. And every dirty play is going to be played. So what is accomplished by creating these divisive maga posts? Well, there's prominent Trump supporters who are responding being like, here, here, yeah, screw those people. You throw in me and Jack Posobic on that list. And an effort to get us inundated with tweets being like, screw you're not MAGA. The idea I often bring, I often bring up is if you don't offer someone a path forward, they'll take the other direction.
Starting point is 00:13:29 So if someone does something wrong and your immediate reaction is F you burn, they'll immediately go to the other side because they have nowhere else to go. Me, I have a bit more mental fortitude than that. But this what the operation seems to be, the coordination seems to be, attack as many people as possible that do support Trump. So it appears as though the Trump base is attacking you, and then you start pushing back. You have a Chinese finger trap problem. You react negatively. Then these people will start attacking Trump supporters and you fracture the Trump base. I think it's also to essentially erode the opinions of the people that actually listen to you, too.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I mean, if they think that you're lumped in with these group of people, they're just going to start eventually assuming that you also hold the same opinions that they do. And in reality, it's not the case. Indeed. Or to jet to, to, to, to, to, to basically generate algorithmic feeds where people who might follow this account are now going to have my name and Jack Posobic as well, who's very pro-Trump,
Starting point is 00:14:27 being lumped in with Candice Owens as if we hold similar opinions at all, which we don't. And then their algorithms will be built upon, they'll start seeing more and more of this AI slop that just, what are they going to do? They're going to see the 18th post
Starting point is 00:14:40 where it's like, can you believe what Tim Pool is doing, what Jack Posobic is doing? And then they're going to be like, Wow. And then they're going to, I don't know where they're going to go, but it's fracturing MAGA intentionally, it would seem. Yeah, I completely agree. Yeah, I think there's a contingent of the political broadly right-wing sphere that wants to see you and wants to see Jack Posobic lumped in with the panicking class, for like a better word. Anikins.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Well, because, because- I call them the retard right. The retard right, yeah. I mean, it just like whatever you want to call it. Because I think you and Jack specifically diverge on a few political points from kind of the rest of the right-wing commentariat. that's really inconvenient for a chunk of, again, the right wing broadly and they want to see you guys ejected and viewed, you know, in the same way as like Candace or as, you know, I, here's what I think. As I've long stated, my friends, the play is to eliminate independent
Starting point is 00:15:30 media. Take a look at the money being dumped into these moderate Democrat candidates, trying to kick out the progressives. Take a look at the move they made. I'll tell you why my name appears on this list, because I correctly called out the Stephen Colbert hoax, James Talariko attacking Jasmine Crockett. Despite not liking Jasmine Crockett, the machine state is saying we want to eliminate these independent voices. So I've long argued that, you know, like Candace and Tucker, they're less so Tucker, but still to a certain degree, he's in a similar political space, they're Pied Piper's.
Starting point is 00:16:06 You start generating a bunch of content that will keep you more on the fringes. And then after, you know, the way we described it, we were in Austin, is that they open, or the way Luke described it, Luke Ocowski, they opened a door and said, everybody come into this room of great free speech. Inside the room, everyone's screaming Israel. And then, after the midterms, they slam the door shut and you guys are locked out of the main ballroom. That's the idea. I think the play is they're going to target any voice that is independent or outside
Starting point is 00:16:36 their control. And of course, that includes people like Tucker, but it also concludes people like Jack Posobic or me. and then the play is going to be you turn on Netflix you turn on CBS you turn on you know or paramount or whatever and there are the approved podcasts yeah yeah well I think it's also too is like broadly independent media on the right is trained to be intentionally um contrarian because like independent media really got its teeth during the Biden years during like the Biden winner and so they basically trained the audience to say those four years were called the Biden winter
Starting point is 00:17:07 yeah the Biden winter it was a horrible time and it's like because they basically trained the audience for four years, like any government action is bad. Any government action is bad. You should be inherently skeptical of any executive power. And likewise, the Republicans are exceptionally weak. The Republicans will always backstab you, et cetera, and whatnot. They basically trained an audience, primed an audience to be skeptical of any political power whatsoever. So as soon as Trump gets in, not perfect. Iran war, I would say at this point is an L. Still, 80% of things, best president of my lifetime, by far, people are just like willing to freak out and panic and Kirstie Nome husband themselves because they're just like losing their minds. And I think part of it is because the
Starting point is 00:17:45 commentary it primed them for this. The commentary it primed them to be constantly skeptical. They almost like fetishized being backstabbed and betrayed. They're like, oh, Trump betrayed me again. Oh, man. It's like like into it. It's the weird thing. I think it's also really difficult because for the common viewer, the news cycle now moves faster than it ever has before. So it's really easy for people to forget the actual wins that we have had under the Trump administration. Like it's very easy to get focused on Iran when it's happening in the moment, but it's really easy to forget all of the, you know, all the deportations and all of the other wins that we've had under the administration so far. Well, I think there's only one explanation. And it's that the people who
Starting point is 00:18:23 are in control, the powerful people, the Epstein Island people, they're lizards. They're all actually lizards. And they're in on it. And they're just like, you know, if you're not one of us, a lizard person, then you can't hang out. That's... That's... That proves it. I'm trying to get some scales on me. You're a monkey person. The lizards. Well, he's white, so I'm allowed to say it. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Mostly. There's lizard people and there's monkey people. The Scottish did invent fried chicken. We invented, yeah, a lot of things. Chicken tigama. I say we like a much American person. Yeah. Red hair or you're not.
Starting point is 00:19:01 No, it's true. Just don't say little say we. I know. Well, I'm like everybody else is like, you know, like Myra Flores. They're all advocating for. for their home nation. Why can I start, like, advocating for Scotland? Like, call it, like, Scott Pack,
Starting point is 00:19:12 and then we just start, like, you know, funneling money. Scott Back. Adrian's Wall. It's the rebuild. You know, it's going to be a beautiful thing. ASPAC. ASPA. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:19 That's, Asia. American Scotland political action committee. Yeah, ASBAC. Aspect. Hey. A SPAC. Oh, boy. I'm actually into AgPAC.
Starting point is 00:19:31 American Japanese political action committee. I'm big on that. I'm big on that. I think I'm long. 51st state. Did you see the one Japanese? The Japanese guy. He poured pop rocks into yogurt, and then he was like, I just made popping yogurt.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I'm like, it's just gem after gem after gem. Oh, they're innovators, man. I know. And like, on the- Change the game. Yeah. And like, we kind of woke each other up. We'll do Pearl Harbor.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Whoa, whoa. And then we'd do a couple nukes. Whoa. Like, we were helping you. Wake him up and jostle him a little, you know? I think Japan should be the 51st state. Hmm. That's right.
Starting point is 00:20:04 At this point. I'm not into adding states personally. Oh yeah, yeah, no, that's good, because they'll all vote the Republican. If we can trade California, no offense, we forge Japan. Can we swap them physically? Physically, yeah. I would also accept a mass migration of all peoples. So we get every California on a boat and every Japanese person on a boat and they switch.
Starting point is 00:20:25 It could be interesting. And then that's how you get San Fran Sokio. This is like the worst trade deal in history of trade deals. But the California government would lead too. It would be like a Taiwan situation. They're in exile. And then we put the Japanese and stall them. as the real leaders.
Starting point is 00:20:38 They wouldn't be on an island. I actually think Japan is much larger than California. Cool California. Japan's really big, actually. It's like the size of... From Maine to Florida, yeah, yeah. We're already overpopulated as it is, so... But if we get rid of the Californians, we're good.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I'm with pre-a-law. There's a lot of people into... California? I'm not taking a risk. I'm not taking a risk. Every one of them. We're going to build a wall around California. I thought we were friends, Tim.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Oh, you're there? You're in California? Unfortunately. Okay, there's the door. If you're in California, we're going to build the wall. It's not our fault. It's like the most beautiful state. It's holding it hostage.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Like we need to, no, we're going to trade places. And I can say it. Look at somewhere like Indiana. I grew up in a house. I'm comfortable saying like, you know, if we, you know, let's do a little trade here. All California? Put all the Californians in Indiana? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yeah, but like, you ever hear the thing that if you see a roach, you're not supposed to smash it because splatters the eggs everywhere? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if you put all the Californians in Indiana, it'd be like that. Yeah. Yeah. And you can build a wall around it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 What? Put them in the ocean. You could just landlock them. Just get a big boat, put all Californians on it, and then sink it. Large boats. We're just like fixing ways. Does that count as... But California is not an ethnicity.
Starting point is 00:21:53 So is that genocide or is that... I think they're getting close to that. Hold on, hold on. It's spring cleaning, Tim. What would the word be for killing everyone in a single state? That, you know, is there a word for that? A civic cleanse? Well, no, no, like there's regicide.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Citizenship. Responsible governance. Wiping out California. Hey, guys, I want to talk about this first. We're going to go back to the birthright citizenship thing, but they're launching a manned mission to the moon on April Fool's Day. Are they doing that on purpose? Well, no, they're not going to launch. They're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Then it's not going to happen because this, I think it's the second time that they've actually had a window. They're going to be like, sake. Bro, I was watching Fox News, and they called it the Artemis. Oh, God. I was like, I was sitting there on the couch, like, my eyes half glazed over, and it was like Martha McCallum or something. She was like, NASA's Artemis II mission will be tomorrow. I was like, what? How do you this?
Starting point is 00:22:48 I got this Artemis in my arm. Artemis. The Artemis II mission will take an astronaut crew around the moon, a space policy expert described the long road to launch. You know what I love about this? There's only one reason they're doing it. It's because too many people believe we never went to the moon. So Trump's like, can we just go? And they're like, it's really expensive to land in the moon and come back.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Well, what if we just loop around it? Is that good enough? That should be good enough. NASA is just bummed that SpaceX is making them look so bad. Maybe. Probably, yeah. I think this actually has more to do with the building the moon base. So the idea is they want to do a once over with new.
Starting point is 00:23:27 So actually, this is the truth. They've got new instruments and new technology to scan the surface, understand the appropriate places for a potential moon base, and they're going to loop around and scan basically everything so that they can make terminations on a moon base. And they said they're going to see parts of the moon that have never been seen before. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Isn't there another mission, not actually landing again, but another kind of test mission, testing out the new equipment that they have that's... I don't know. There hasn't been yet. It's coming like a year after this current one that's... They're scrapping.
Starting point is 00:24:00 They were supposed to do like ISS2 basically, and we're actually scrapping that and instead doing a man mission. Okay, got, I got it. Maybe that's it. Well, this is going to be brutal. It's like a week. I think, what is it, like four days to get to the moon? It's a couple days to get to the moon. And then they're going to wrap around it, which takes a day and then four days back. Have you ever wanted to beat? And then the car play's acting up and you're like,
Starting point is 00:24:18 no, no. It's the worst. You're basically eating dust the whole time. Oh, it sucks. Yeah. It's wild. Beef jerky. I mean, the only actual comfort these guys have is that, you know, if there is some kind of failure,
Starting point is 00:24:31 then the soundstage will just open up the door and let them out, and they can use the bathroom and get back in and start filming again. Yeah, yeah. In Arizona. They have another, like a union strike in L.A. again with the Screenwriters Guild, and they're just like, sorry guys, moon missions off. Yeah. You know, this is the crazy thing about the moon denial stuff, though, is that everybody's like,
Starting point is 00:24:49 how did they deal with the radiation? And I'm kind of like, they didn't. Like, I don't know. It's kind of an easy explanation. The government let these people get fried. Yeah. And they're launching dogs into space all the time for no reason. We have dogs die up there.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Do you guys know about the family that died in the nuclear blast test? Like the little kids were playing by the river or whatever when a nuke went off? You ever hear the story? No. Let me pull that story up. But I love that people still nowadays are shocked that the government's like, eh. It doesn't matter. They launched a monkey.
Starting point is 00:25:18 If they die, they die. I know. They launched a monkey into space and they're like, oh, they die. Downwinders? That was the biggest reason to hate the Soviet Union is they literally just sent that dog. Yeah, here you go. Yeah. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Check this out. Blah, blah, blah. 5.30, July 16, 1945, 13-year-old Barbicent was camp on a camping trip with her dance teacher and 11 students. When a forceful blast threw her out her bunk bed onto the floor. Later that day, the girls noticed what they believe was snow falling outside. Surprise and excited. They started running out, dancing outside to play. We all thought, oh my gosh, it's snowing.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yet it was warm. We put out our hands and we're rubbing it on our faces and having a good time trying to catch what we thought was snow. Years later, they learned it was actually radioactive fallout from the first nuclear test explosion. Oh, good. Only 12, of the 12 girls that attended the camp, she is the only living survivor. The other 11 died from various cancers, as did the camp dance teacher and Kent's mother, who was staying nearby. Diagnosed with four different types of cancer herself, Kent is one of the many people in New Mexico,
Starting point is 00:26:16 unknowingly exposed to fallout. So, they're known as the downwinders. And it's funny because, like, people go, but there's so much radiation, you'll die. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not sure the government cares. No, they don't care. It'd be like, send them through. Yeah. We only dropped it.
Starting point is 00:26:31 It was more than three miles away from the metropolitan area. I don't know what the big deal is. Are you guys crying about it? But I think the argument they're saying is there's so much radiation, you would just die. You would just explode. But apparently the astronauts on the Apollo mission said that they saw sparkles in their eyes. Yeah. That's being blasted by ionizing radiation.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I mean, that's true. But like Buzz Aldrin lived to be a very old man before he passed away. He was like in his 90s, I think when he passed away. So, I mean, you know, it's not, it's probably not great. But at the same time, I don't think. that radiation exposure is actually so bad that you're gonna get cancer when you come back, you know, 10 years later. They don't have big suits on, too, right?
Starting point is 00:27:09 I don't think that those are... I don't think they're big suits like that because they're pressurized, not because they're going to defend it. And to keep them warm, I think. Well, yeah, I mean, it's cold. Yeah, it says it's, uh, let's see, satellites in orbit get around 25 cverts per year with thin shielding. And five Cvr is often decided as around half a lethal dose for humans.
Starting point is 00:27:30 So spending a couple days moving through it is not actually that much. But I don't know. All I know is I did a Google search and I'm reading what it says. But there are people like, how'd they get through that? And I'm just like, do you think the government cares about individuals? Because I kind of feel like, you know, kind of, but not really. Yeah. And there's like whether you're going to tell me you're Armstrong, like, hey, you'll be cemented in history forever.
Starting point is 00:27:52 The first man to walk on the moon. But you might get cancer at some point in the next 50 years. He's like, yeah, I'd probably go in any way. I eat McDonald's. Yeah. Actually, Buzz Aldrin is currently. he's eating a burger. What?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Cancer. Aldrin is currently alive. He's 96 years old, and he was the second man to walk on the moon. But to be fair, that's only because the cosmic radiation gave him superpowers. He did. He's actually one of the members
Starting point is 00:28:12 of the fantastic four. According to a lot of the internet, that's actually because he never went to the moon. I hate the internet. He punched that guy. Remember that? Was that what happened? Oh, that was based, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Also, okay. Some guy was like, you never went to the moon. He went to the moon. He was clocked him. Also, like, the third guy, we don't even know his name because he got put in the cosmic cuck chair and had to watch the other.
Starting point is 00:28:30 They left him up there and spun around. Watching him trot and golf on the moon and stuff. He's just stuck up there. He got to DJ the car play, though. Yeah. He was the driver. Look, you need a designated driver. It's like, this a fifth time you've played Nokey by Lipik Biscuit, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:46 You got to stop playing Nook. No! This is my thing. You get the golf. I get nookie. Someone has to be the designated driver. You know, that was his job. Yeah, they're just getting sloshed on the middle. They're on the jury.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Party and getting hammered. Probably getting really hammered. Nine or eight. There was a crazy story where I can't remember who it was. Who's that guy who went to space and the ISS and played the guitar and everyone loved him? Apparently he was doing a spacewalk and he's in the pressurized suit. You can't touch your face. And something got in his eye.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So his eye started tearing up, forming a giant ball of water tears over his eye. You can't do anything about it. So he can't see. It's just like the tears go blop around your eye. Yeah, wild. I feel like I'm just a little different. I think I could mitigate. that. Like, I feel like I could just put a certain flick and I'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Oh, I know. Like, you've never been to space nor trained for it, but you're certainly better than he is. Yeah, like, like, I just feel like that just seems like an issue like, you know, like a, like a, like a normie would have, like I think I'm a little like a normie. You know, bang, flip it up and they like lubricate the eye or quick. You just, no, it's really easy. You go like this. Exactly. Like a little swig. You can just slurp it up with us. Like, I don't know. It just seems like a kind of a gay issue to
Starting point is 00:29:56 that. Like, let's be honest. Seriously. Oh, you're crying in space. Gay. What a dork. Oh, the earth. It's so beautiful. It's like a big marble.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Seriously, cornball. Cornball. Yeah, astronauts are so dumb. Why are they so great, huh? Yeah. That's right. One guy's like, what was it was like an actor? He's like, it was just crazy, like seeing seven billion lives.
Starting point is 00:30:18 And I'm looking down at it. And I'm watching them all happening at the same time. I was like, dude. Like, relax. It's just cornball city. I mean, unbelievable. Someone should say to him, But I'm going to ruin it for everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:33 What do they call it? There's a name for it. When you're in space and you look down and you see the earth and then people have this profound experience of like everything is just right there. And it's very profound thinking about, you know, 7 billion people living their lives. But I can ruin it for you by reminding you that half of them are taking a dump right now. Yeah, literally. Just all over the place.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And then you're going to go, oh, it's like you're, that's right. Right. Like, everybody likes a dog. They're very cute and they're slabbering and laughing. And then it dumps on your floor and you're pissed off. Right. Yeah. So, let me put it like this.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Luke and I went to the dog cafe, a dog cafe in South Korea. Because they have a cafe. Well, it's like. It served for dinner, yeah. It tasted great. It's the menu, yeah. No, they, uh, dog just run around. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And so you go in and you order coffee or a drink and you sit down and then the dogs just go crazy. Now, in the mind of the average person, you're a man. imagining like a golden retriever comes up to you all happy and you pet him and he's like and then you're like, oh, this is great. That's not at all what it's like. They run it and start running around full speed and they jump up on the table and try biting yourself. And you're pushing them away and then they take a dump right there on the floor.
Starting point is 00:31:45 This is not an exaggeration. It's exactly what I was picturing. Fifteen dogs with the zoomies running through. The raccoon cafes are fun. There's those pudgy little fat things just sit there and reach out and go like this. And then you hand them a nut. They like feel almost. everything through their hands, so they, like, spurge out all of that.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Like, if you look on your back porch when they're out there, they're, like, rearranging your furniture. Doing some feng shui. Yeah, I know. I'm like, have you ever seen the video where, because, so raccoons in Russian, I think, I think it's Russian, they're called washing bears. Because when you give them food, they wash the food before eating it. I know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 And so they gave, they gave it cotton candy. And they gave it, takes it, puts in the water and it goes, disappears. Where's, where's, where to go? And they're just going, hoo-hoo. So imagine, like, like, yeah. Imagine like some aliens come to Earth and they give someone like a delicious flamenia. And he's like, oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:32:34 He's like in a desert. He's like, oh, so hungry. I'm dying in a bottle of water. And then he grabs the bottle of water and it's gone. And he grabs like, it disappears. It's like, oh, that's what the raccoon is like. They're hungry. They live in the wild.
Starting point is 00:32:46 They don't have a constant supply of food. And they're like, it's going to be funny. Watch the cotton candy is going to vanish. It's so funny. I'll say one more thing just because we're on the topic of space. Right. You guys ever see the thing where they put the fake bird on the rock? and then there's like a bunch of fake birds
Starting point is 00:33:01 and the one real bird came you know what I'm talking about? So they were trying to attract a thing in New Zealand like some kind of bird so they put a bunch of fake ones hoping that the real ones will start settling there but only one real one came and then it tried Macanon one of the fake ones
Starting point is 00:33:15 and so it just lived there by itself trying to buy a bunch of mannequins having no idea that these birds were just wooden pegs I like to think that aliens do that to us like you'll be out in the street and you'll see like a hot chick and you'll be like, hey, and the alien, like, you're just talking to a mannequin.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Yeah. I don't know. It happened to a Manteo. Who? Oh, I got that. Yeah, he was catfish. Everyone in the crowd will love that one. Anti-Tio, he got catfish.
Starting point is 00:33:41 He was like a star line back. I swear she's really, right? I'd have to explain it, but it's like. I think, so here's what I think happened. I think the aliens, this is a joke, by the way. I think the aliens came to Earth and, like, their ship crashed, and then the humans start, you're messing around with it. So then the aliens basically are like, you know, we, we,
Starting point is 00:33:58 We only did like light reconnaissance on this planet, but now they got access to our technology, so we have no choice but to like come down. So the aliens come down and they go to the president, they're like, look, you can't have this technology. It gets to advanced. And they were like, well, I think we should. And they're like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Okay, well, here's what we're going to do. We're going to give you cell phones, okay? We're going to give you communications. Your communications technology is going to rapidly progress. That way we can catfish you guys. Yeah. And the president was like, what do we get? We'll give you, I don't know, a rail gun.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Okay. All right. Great. Rail guns. and now the reason why we have all these dating apps is because the aliens want to basically do research on our dating habits and so they can catfish you.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah. And you're like sitting there, you're going like, oh, you're so hot and it's an alien being like, tell him he is very sexy. And then you're like into it and there's like a bunch of dudes gooning off to like alien researchers. Yeah, this is not.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Well, my friends, you have an option. We can talk about the big boobs guy or we can talk about birthright citizenship. Worst titty two. Tuesday ever. I wonder what they'll pick. Yeah, which one are you going to pick? Yeah, which one, guys?
Starting point is 00:35:03 Looks like everybody needs to know about, where is the stupid even? I think they're getting rid of it. I think everyone's embarrassed about the story. It's horrible. Mass deleting it? Oh, no, no, just it was on the front page of Mediaite, and now it isn't.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And I think it's because, oh, wait, there's more pictures. Oh, my God. Okay, here we go. That sounds awful. Here we go. the moment the moment Tate has been waiting for WTF political world erupts of a report on Christine Nome's cross-dressing husband
Starting point is 00:35:34 Oh my God! What is going on? Maybe, you know what, maybe her dog just shot himself. With this in the household? I mean, she's wearing like, you know, jump suits, he's cross-dressing, maybe you just take over the phone. Okay, wait, wait, okay, the story is apparently, it's funny because when I was, I was first,
Starting point is 00:35:52 Hard Megatheises, why is everyone in politics so easy to blackmail? Example A. That's the dog's last straw and just took himself out. So the first, the story that I was first reading, I read that he was into bimbofication. And I could understand the grammatical structure of what that word means. And it said he was talking to hookers with massive tits, impossibly fat milkers. And so at first I was like, oh, so like he wants women who are just like big, massive bimboe women. And then apparently know he wants to be one.
Starting point is 00:36:25 All right. He just needs a Fox News contract. I think that's what's going on. It's disgusting. Guys, guys, guys. Please stop making fun because the truth is he was outed and that's wrong. It is. It's wrong. I apologize. The funny thing is when like liberal lefty commentators get outed, they don't care.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah. They're just like, yep. And the liberals just go, like they'll get made fun of. But they'll go, well, at least my side, we all acknowledge that we're all this way. this is Christine Homes husband Why is he filming him Like this is the
Starting point is 00:37:00 Look okay I'm gonna say this The face Between the two pictures So he like Go there and he's like Let me get a better one Let me get one of my Let me get one of my face
Starting point is 00:37:09 And then let me get one of my crotch But that's the This is the weirdest thing Because like he's doing a weird pouty face But he's just some guy If he's into like bimbos or bamboification Bro you're ugly Like there's nothing
Starting point is 00:37:22 There's not even any like makeup or any No effort Yeah. This is the most low effort cross-dressing I've ever seen. I know. Okay, I'm going to be serious and just say this. The only real issue I take with this is that he is the husband of a Trump admin official contacting hookers for weird fetish stuff. And paying them.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah, listen, listen, I'm not a staunch conservative guy. You know, like, I know people who are trans and gay married and I'm just like, just keep it away from kids. Keep it private. If this dude wants to, you know, put balloons in his shirt and pout in the camera or whatever, just don't do it in public and don't call hookers and film yourself doing it, especially when your wife is a Trump admin official. I have no problem saying, ew, you know what I mean? Remember that guy who had the, I was talking about this earlier, he had the tentacle porn on his computer? Yeah. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Tab on his computer. What was his name? I forgot his name. He was like an anti-Trump guy. In Rick or Rlocker or something? Let me search for that. Exactly what his name was. Who was the, was he a journalist?
Starting point is 00:38:28 Yeah. Accidentally posted. That, I mean, the Tenticle. I mean, at the same, yeah, the last HHS secretary we had. Look like a mom. Let's see. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah, like, it says Kurt Eichenwald.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Yes, Ikewold. In 2017, he took a picture of his computer and one of the tabs was for Tenticle. Hentai. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Japanese anime. horns. And everybody was laughing at him. And he was like, I was only doing it to show my wife. I love to explain to her what it was. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:38:59 that is also not acceptable. It makes it worse. It means you weren't ashamed of this, which makes it. No, no, no. He was arguing he's not into it. It's just that he was trying to prove what it was. And the funny thing is, you know, that's not true. And so you know his family at home was going, oh my God. Because he's like, I'm just going, honey, please, please. I'm just going to lie and claim I was explaining it to you. And she'd be like, I can't believe you're looking at this stuff, Kurt.
Starting point is 00:39:20 What are you wrong with you? It's the same thing with Kirstie and Oam's husband. Apparently, she had no idea. That's what she says, allegedly. She had no idea. You think she knew? I bet that, like, I mean, look, with all due respect to Chris Oumm, she got worked on, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I bet he and her have some crazy Sunday nights. I bet he's like, it's Saturday afternoon. He goes, kids go out and play. And then he kicks him out and locks the door. And then they put on BDSM gear. And he's like, he puts the basketballs out. He puts the basketballs in his shirt. And he's going, oh.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Oh, no, honey, I'm a bimbo. And then she's like, hoo, let me beat you or something. She's Mickey Mouse. Come here, honey. I know. I wish I... And then he's Kermit D. Frog. I really wish that I could, in good faith, say that she didn't know about this because I'd
Starting point is 00:40:12 like for people to be normal. But I learn more and more every day that people are just so not normal and they're all degenerate freak. So would I be surprised if she didn't know about this? Not at all at this point. But I took it a step farther. I am personally offended by even people doing this nonsense in private. Well, I can respect that.
Starting point is 00:40:30 But my point is largely just like, of all of the things that people do do, like, there are guys who are married to other guys. And so outside of even knowing what they're doing behind the scenes are assuming, in public, they're outright telling you when they like put their arms around each other and show off their rings, you already, at the bare minimum, this is not the way. worst degeneracy that exists in society. And so that's what my point is, do you want to be freaking into sheets or whatever,
Starting point is 00:40:57 just not in public? Like, the fact that he's filming himself and he was sending these photos off, apparently, this is what happens to you. This is what happens, okay? Don't. Keep your private life to your private self. And then we'll all just pretend you're normal.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah. And that, there you go. People just have a problem keeping it private. I mean, especially with the advent of the cell phone, the cameras and cell phones and stuff like that, people just, I love that you not have the ability, but like, no. That's me.
Starting point is 00:41:27 What if a dog just killed himself? I know, that's what happened. Oh, yeah, I shot my dog, okay, yeah. And dog come on. Okay, but there is something interesting to this in that who leaked this guy's stuff? That's what I was asking. Because these are his selfies from his phone.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Which lucky bastard leaked this? Lucky enough to receive those. Now, hold on there. This guy, Christopher says, Maga is unwell. Now, hold on. Who are you to judge? You got, you got dudes on drugs growing boobs. Yeah, I was going to say he's a failed congressional candidate. He's a lip-tard.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Yeah. I'm going to, I want to comment and be like, hey, man, don't shame people. He has got pride, you know what I'm sure that he was, he was. He's caught pride. He was very vocal about how bad it was that they had a trans woman with their boobs out on the White House won a couple years back. Peter J. Hassan says, against all odds, Christy Nome is the normal one in her marriage. Fair enough. The entire GOP is full of degenerates at this point probably more than Dems.
Starting point is 00:42:21 And in this case, all of this is known long before she was appointed. It was an insane appointment, but I don't make the decisions here. Milo has gone on quite a bit about how tons of Republicans are gay. And I think he's... He's right about it. Yeah, about a lot of it at least. Let's be fair. You know, everyone's like the Trump administration is not angry enough.
Starting point is 00:42:40 They need to be getting angrier and going harder. And it's like, wouldn't you want the DHS secretary to have that at home? That would make you mad. and then you're ready to just take it out on like... I think Chrissy Noam's into it. You think she's... Well, she's... Like I said, like I'm not trying to be a dick, but she got work done.
Starting point is 00:42:55 So just imagine the husband... That's her muse. No, it's not that. It's a married couple, bro. She used a statement saying, like, we were blindsided by this. I'm like, I really doubt it. I bet they got a dungeon. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:06 Their kids are grown up and moved out, and they're old, and the dopamine just doesn't hit the same way anymore. You know, they got to level up their game and start doing crazier and crazier and crazier things. No, I don't... She didn't... think anything of those two balloons sitting in their bathroom. Basketballs?
Starting point is 00:43:20 Basketballs. Yeah, or whatever it is. Horrifying. It's quite all over. Bimbofication. I'm sorry, just like, the idea is hilarious to me. Like, a woman is like a normal woman, and then all of a sudden she's like, oh, and like her tits get massive, because that's what he said.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Like an ogre? He didn't say he didn't say impossibly fat milkers. He said ridiculously huge boobs or something. Yeah. It's called being a sexual patriot. But again, like, hold on, like, when I was first reading this, and I was reading bimbofication, like I can understand the grammatic, like, breakdown of what that means.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I'm imagining they're saying that here, like, her husband is into the idea that women are turned into overly sexualized big team women. And I was like, and then he put big fake. Yeah, yeah. And then he put big fake boobs in his shirt and said, tell me I'm a girl. And I went, oh, that's just. That's something else. kind of like, this is all, this is all some kind of like auto gonophilia, right? Like, yeah, some kind of variation.
Starting point is 00:44:21 But look, look, yes. And but this, when he, Daniel Horace has the entire geopolitical degenerates. Well, that may be. But at least they mostly keep it private. Fair enough. Like, you know, like, do you know, if you're a public and you're secretly gay, I guess whatever, you know, I don't care. Just, you know, don't bring it around kids. Don't do it in public.
Starting point is 00:44:38 The Democrats are having sex in public. Yeah. Yeah. Or of the, what was it the room that? One of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, one of the, offices or one of the rooms in the Senate. We had a cross-dressing secretary for four years and nobody made
Starting point is 00:44:54 fun of that. It was not acceptable. But he had to make big things normal. Wait, wait, wait. But he stole women's clothing. Literally, he stole it from an airport. Who time? He was kind of on beast mode. I'm not going to. That was awesome. He just kept still suitcases. I got to be honest.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Just a clepto. Guys, guys. Eight suitcases. I got a best. I beg for that kind of testosterone in the Republican Party. The willingness to steal exclusive designer clothing from women and then wear it in the White House. On camera. Like, I got to be honest, you can make fun of that guy because he's weird and all that,
Starting point is 00:45:32 but he's probably got testosterone through that. His hair's all gone. And he's like, I'm going to outright steal a woman's clothing that she had specifically tailored for her and I'm going to wear it on camera at the White House. He was also obese, so it probably like stretched it out quite. bit. Oh, for sure. I'm just saying, like, Republicans are seen here being like, well, I don't know. Democrats will get mad.
Starting point is 00:45:51 And Democrats are like, I'm going to steal your stuff and wear it on TV. I'm going to steal it from the airport. Grab your bag. They're scandals. He got like a slap on the wrist. Yeah, he lost his job, though. Yeah, slap on the wrist. He showed up with a prison for stealing luggage. I mean, that's just such a funny thing to do to just keep getting, because he got caught every time. Multiple times, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:11 You think he'd, like, get better at it, you know, stealing suitcases. Because every time you go to the. the airport, you're like, the last bastion of our high trust society really is the luggage carousel, because there's nothing stopping you from just taking random suitcases. That always occurs to you. Every time it takes more than five minutes, I'm like, someone stole it, someone stole my suit, my Nike duffel bag. I got all my stuff air tagged. Well, you know what I love too is when like, you'll check a bag and then when you'll get to your place of destination, open it up, there's a card in there and it's a DHS card that says we opened your bag and went through it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And I'm like, okay. It's never happened to me. It happens to me all the time. My bags are like Detroit anyway. They're like Tim Pool. we are spying on you and we were looking at your stuff your underwear is gross and then I'm just like well you know I don't know I got if you carry if you if you travel with firearms that kind of stuff happens all the time Kmart does that still exist
Starting point is 00:46:56 I can't say I've seen one in a very long time you know yeah it's shockers ears left yeah I don't actually by my underwear Kmart you know I got truth be told I got my underwear from Instagram oh whoa Instagram underwear that's like a thousand percent I was I was swiping I was swiping uh I was swiping uh
Starting point is 00:47:14 90s cartoons like X-Men and Spider-Man. And then I swiped up and it was like, it was like, this is great underwear. And I was like, oh, I click by.
Starting point is 00:47:23 That's basically how I'll buy everything. Got you. Of course. That UFO? Instagram. Bro, don't you know anything? Those coins right there?
Starting point is 00:47:30 Actually, that was Fox News. The one where Trump and Biden each become president and each go to prison. I do get like one shoted by the mobile game ads because they like let you play a little bit of it. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:47:38 oh, I was done. And then I doubt. Oh, yeah. You guys got to put that Instagram down. I will say that. I will say this.
Starting point is 00:47:45 If there is one thing that has me begging, begging for the meteor of death, it's when you'll see an ad and it'll be like, you know, there's a bunch of commercials where you'll seek a little guy in a bridge and he'll be shooting his gun and then like zombies will be coming. But then he'll move over to the right and he'll shoot like a gun with a five on it. And when he shoots it, he gets the gun and then it's and I'm like, oh, that looks pretty fun. And then there's like a gate coming at you and says minus 10. but then he's shooting it, and then it goes down from negative 10, it goes up to zero, and then it goes up to plus 10, and then he goes through it, and now there's 10 soldiers, and now they're all shooting the zombies.
Starting point is 00:48:20 And then they do something dumb, and then they all get killed. And then I'm like, bro, no, I want to play this game, and then you download it. And then right when you start the game, you're this little guy on the bridge, and you're moving left and right, and you're grabbing the weapons, and I'm like, this is the greatest game I've ever played. And then once you do, it goes mission over, and then it turns into a world-building civilization game where there's timers on everything. And I'm like, no, go back to where I'm the guy fighting the zombies, and you can.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And then I go back to Instagram and I send an angry message and I report it and I say, I will come for you. I will find you. Why won't someone just make that game? I know. There's also, no, there's another game where there's a king and he's in like a tunnel that goes like this and then goes up and then falls into lava. And there's a bunch of blocks moving forward pushing him and he's like, and he's looking all scared. And then you got to match the blocks. And when you do, he pushes forward. So by, you know, it's like candy crush almost where you rearrange the the blocks and get three in a row. And if you get him enough, he won't fall in the lava. And I'm like, oh, a time-based candy crush. That sounds fun. So I download it. And what is it? Literally just candy crush. There's no king, no lava. They lied to me. I am going to find the studios that make that game. And I'm going to knock on their door. And I'm going to, I'm going to shake my fist in their general direction. We're going to shake my fist. Cross words. I'm going to send this false advertising. I don't accept it. I absolutely do not accept it. It should be illegal. That's right. So true. No, yeah. I'm just.
Starting point is 00:49:41 advertising it's true that's why I just stick with clash I'm just a clash guy clash clans Clash of Clans clash Royale Clash Royale I like that it's gas it's alright been good for like 15 years now the majority of my life I've been in a clan on Clash of Clans really yeah we're called the coup clash clan Every like five years the clan gets nuked and we just have the start from square one CCCC Like someone like gets beat so bad they report us and then back to square one Plans players are like die hard I feel like clansmen or classmen are class men or class Plash players. I think they're both pretty die-hard. Both die-hard. Both die hard. Yeah, just in different ways. They kind of fizzled out, you know, the hoods, like now the Catholics are reclaiming it. So like Clash, it's kind of just for us. It's just for the process. Dude, I think-
Starting point is 00:50:24 I think Instagram needs to be stopped. Whoa, we're just glazing. What's going on? No, because, uh, you got hit with another ad. No, but something, something happened, uh, you know, like, so I just became a dad, right? And, uh, I'll just keep the story a little bit vague for privacy's sake, but Instagram started showing these videos about kids dying. Oh. And then it started showing them like crazy. And I think it's because there's that story where the dad gets the advertisement sent to his daughter for pregnancy for maternity stuff. And he's like, my daughter is 16. So he calls all angry.
Starting point is 00:51:01 He stops sending this. And they're like, it's algorithmically generated. So the AI systems figured out that his daughter was pregnant because of the Google search history she was doing. And so I think when you start posting like, oh, I kid, we start shopping for baby stuff. Instagram automatically will start recommending things that it wants you to see. And so it must be that new parents, they get glued to these stories about their kids dying because they're scared. And it's so what happens is unintentionally, a news story will be like a seven-year-old kid fell into the ice and died or like a three-year-old was hit by a car. And new parents stop and stare at that news story and watch the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So the algorithm doesn't know what it's showing you. It's just saying this video is loved by new parents and it starts spam blasting these stories. The other thing he keeps doing is ping pong. Bro, I'm not kidding. Instagram, I think probably was paid off by big ping pong. And they were like spam Tim Pool with ping pong videos. That way he'll start playing and promoting it. And then I was getting, I was like, I'm scrolling.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Listen, I watch poker videos. I watch action sports. So like skiing, skateboarding, whatever. I'm not clicking on any of the stuff. I'm not interested. And then all of a time I'm getting nothing but ping pong. And I was like, stop.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Stop. I hate ping pong. And I would click it and be like, stop sending me this. I'm not interested. I'm disgusted by this. But it would not stop sending me ping pong videos.
Starting point is 00:52:21 It was wild. They're trying to convert you from a skateboarder to a ping pong player. I think they're experimenting. I really, really do. Facebook was accused of experimenting on its users by sending them things to see if it would alter their political opinions.
Starting point is 00:52:35 It's true. That's awesome. Yeah. So I'm like, I bet someone at Facebook was like, we're going to see if we can get Tim Poole to talk about ping pong in a positive light and be into it and promote ping pong. Well, I assure you, I hate table tennis, ping pong. I hate it. I could not hate it more. I used to be ambivalent. I used to not care. And then I go to my search because you press a little magnifying glass and gives you a bunch of things. And there's like 17 ping pong videos. And I'm just bashing my phone on the table screaming. Never again. You launch a hate campaign against ping pong instead. Yeah. Yeah. The algorithm must be stopped. I think they like, they like have to be tapping text or something. It's like no matter what you're going through in life, they just hit you with the most direct thing.
Starting point is 00:53:15 There are things that I've spoken. I'm not, I've never searched, never typed it into my phone, never taken a photo of anything. I've like spoken them and then I'll get an ad for the exact same brand or something like. I was shopping in a Nordstrom once with my brother and I said something about like a specific brand of like swim trunks. And next thing I know on Instagram specifically is an ad for those. those exact swim trunks. Never have I looked them up or anything of that sort. Yeah. I know how to prevent that. Get rid of Instagram. No can-do. Get rid of all the meta properties. Is it or said than die? I don't have an Instagram myself. I don't have, I don't use WhatsApp. I don't have a
Starting point is 00:53:54 Facebook page. I don't have any meta. Just Spotify and Apple Music. I do have Spotify. I have Apple Musics. I have X. I have a YouTube page, but I don't I don't have Snapchat, I don't have TikTok. I literally like shake if I don't watch Instagram or else for him like Oh Trump tomorrow at a 9 he's going to give us Trump tomorrow and I's giving a speech
Starting point is 00:54:15 on Iran so we'll pull that up. I guess we'll watch moon mission stuff or something.com. Nobody cares. Trump lost. He got Israel derangement syndrome. He's got a lot of the arrangement syndrome. That's pretty crazy. I don't know why, but let's jump to this story because it needs to be done. Trump plans to attend oral arguments in Supreme Court birthright citizenship
Starting point is 00:54:36 case. That is tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, it is going to be amazing. I'm going to be sitting here listening to these arguments. It's going to be a lot of fun. Depending on what time they start, maybe I'll do like a live stream and we can just like listen in and do a listening session where I will explain why the people arguing for it are dumb. So everybody knows the arguments that we've gone over them a million and one times. The Supreme Court's going to hear the arguments, I do not, I'm sorry, there's literally no argument for it. None. None. There is none. Question, did the founding fathers think that someone from China could bring their kid here, could come here pregnant, give birth, that kid could be president to the United States? No. No,
Starting point is 00:55:16 they probably would kill you. Yeah, it's not going to happen. And so, uh, after the Civil War, did they think that someone from China should be able to come here, give birth and that kid can be the president? No. Nope. Nobody did. So why are we doing it now? It makes no sense. And I don't know what argument you're going to have. You're going to have like, you're going to have like Kavanaugh being like, are there any other countries that have a practice comparable? And they're going to be like, there's like one. Not really. It's like, oh, so why is the United States allowing anyone to bring their children here?
Starting point is 00:55:47 Here's the other thing I'll just say about this. Maybe you want to make the argument that in the early days, they did not imagine that planes would exist. So they said, it's fine. If someone's here and the kid is born, the kids is a citizen. because they've viewed it like as a 100 times a year thing out of millions of people. That's not really a big deal. But certainly we can reassess today based on modern technology and issue a new ruling and saying, well, based on the ease of access and the illegalities that are surrounding this,
Starting point is 00:56:15 notably illegal birth tourism, at this point we can say it's over. Yeah, well, I mean, this is clearly not the intent behind birthright citizenship, just on its face. Anybody can see that. You don't even have to have half a brain cell to understand that. But to say that people can, yeah, just hop, skip and jump across the border, take a flight over from China, have your kid, and that kid is automatically a citizen is a pretty ridiculous argument altogether. Yeah. And like it's consensus across the entire old world that, you know, it's citizenship by blood, right?
Starting point is 00:56:47 You like to have that stake to actually become a citizen in the country. Some level of heritage at some degree, whether there's parents or grandparents, where in the new world, across all the settler colonies we have birthright citizenship because like America's a unique case with the slaves. But like majority of these New World countries, I think Columbia is the only one that doesn't actually have birthright citizenship. It was because they were bringing in a lot of immigrants. We needed to settle the frontiers as quickly as possible. Just give them the citizenship and send you on your way where we're not trying to settle a frontier anymore. We're out of frontiers.
Starting point is 00:57:15 So it's just redundant. It's ridiculous. I think the whole world is our oyster. Well, Dunrow Doctrine, we might need to keep birthright citizenship. Don Roe Doctrine is everything that the light touches belongs to us. to Trump. American imperialism. Well, look, let's be real.
Starting point is 00:57:32 When the settlers came to this country, there were people who lived here. I mean, especially with the Spaniards in the South, I mean, the Inc and the Aztec, they had cities. They had, you know, territory. I didn't care. So, like, I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:57:45 we should conquer other countries or go to war. My point is... I am. No, no, but this is the point. When people... When you say there's no more frontier, and I'm like, that was... Even when there were other countries,
Starting point is 00:57:56 countries were like, I will take it from you. My point is the sentiment has changed to where we're like, no, no, we shouldn't invade and conquer other lands anymore. But back in the day, that was like, so who should we conquer? Yeah. Well, I'm just saying like as far as like unsettled land. But yeah, I agree. I mean, the frontier accurately defined to be just like the next bastion of American greatness. But bro, Canada is all unsettled land.
Starting point is 00:58:17 This is my point. Well, I mean, yeah. But like we have unsettled land in, in the west of the United States still. The federal government just claimed it. Yeah, and we don't need, like, I think we're good. Like, I think we have enough cities. Like, are we really supposed to just respect that Canada says that, like, the Yukon is theirs because? Yeah, there's not really much they could do about it.
Starting point is 00:58:38 No. I decided to just, like, take it. How many people live in the Yukon? Like 10. Yeah, not many. And honestly, they'd probably be perfectly fine with us acquiring them. Well, I mean, Alberta, in and of itself is about to have a referendum, if I understand, correct. 40,000 people in 482,443 square kilometers.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Mm-hmm. That's a lot. We can take them. A lot of land. There wouldn't be a whole lot. What about the Northwest Territories is probably better, right? Because it's 1.3 million square kilometers with 40,000 people. And what are the...
Starting point is 00:59:17 Two for one. It's almost entirely Native Americans who live there. indigenous Canadian. Just toss a casino on there. No, no, it's Chip-Awayan? Yeah, they're like Inuit. Free? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:28 And a lot of Inuit, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, just throw some... Slaving. They'll be like, yeah, to take it. Yo, what is this? Clitchco. Unleashed the polar bears. So, like, Canada just goes, it's ours,
Starting point is 00:59:41 and we're just like, okay, it's unsettled frontier, and there are still natives who live there, and they never agreed to this. Yeah. Yeah. So we're supposed to just agree that... You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:51 Like, we're being gentlemanly about it. That's like, well, I mean, yeah. I mean, that's kind of the whole idea. Boring. I know. And it's just like, I'm just put it like this. When the European colonists came to, like, more so central in South America where there actually were the Incan and Aztec empires, big cities.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I'm not saying they were good people. They were like flaying people alive and doing other weird things. I'm like chopping, pulling hearts out and stuff. But they had cities. They had kingdoms. They had territory. They had guards. They had structure.
Starting point is 01:00:18 and the, you know, the Spaniards were just like, no. It just coughed on them and they all took, like, they all died. Well, to be fair, Cortez was like, you are backwards barbarian savages who mutilate children. We are going to conquer you and stop this from happening. Was he wrong, though? You kind of cooked with them. Yeah, no. But my, so, like, we know right now there are countries that are doing comparable things.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Yeah. But we've lost the spirit of conquest. Yeah, totally. I mean, like, there was estimates from a few different historians on, like, the Aztec Empire, for example. and they were sacrificing humans at a rate that would be comparable to like 3% of their population. So if you took infants,
Starting point is 01:00:54 extracted that would be like 1.5% of their population, they were sacrificing. Well, Britain is on track to, by the end of the decade, abort half of all pregnancies, terminated half of all pregnancies. No, no, no, but that's only for the white Brits, right?
Starting point is 01:01:06 Probably. Yeah, probably. And then in the United States, it's like 25% of all pregnancies ended in abortion. So it's like, for rates far lower than like the rates that were like, aborting our children in the West, Spain just permanently exterminated pretty much all
Starting point is 01:01:21 Mesopotamian. Obviously, Islam has not lost the spirit of conquest. No. They've got a long history of it, actually. But it's not like a proper conquest. It's like they're just exploiting European welfare systems. That's not like an actual base conquest. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It's modern-day conquest. The only reason you need armed men to storm the gates is because there are gates. Like during the jihad Europe opened the gates That's the problem Exactly My point is this It's quite literally a proper conquest
Starting point is 01:01:51 During the jihad There were towns with no gates The jihadis just came in And said This is not Islam And they were like Oh I guess Even if Europe lifted a finger
Starting point is 01:02:01 They would like they could expel All the Muslims tomorrow Like they wouldn't have to do like A Reconquista It would be quite easy Most these people are like On the welfare teat It's like not a conquest
Starting point is 01:02:11 In the sense of Even prior Muslim conquest like Spain is just incomparable to like what Spain is now where Spain could literally just pass a bill to like tell 80% on the leave and they would have no choice but to leave because I don't think so. Yeah it would be fairly remigration would be like fairly easy to do because most of it is economics based. Most of these people are there for economic reasons. I think the I think the issue is that when a certain portion of your population is dominated
Starting point is 01:02:34 by an ideology, you cannot pass a bill. Like our Congress is paralyzed. Well, I agree. We have whole cities that have become like foreign cultures. I'm not even talking about Islam. I'm just saying, you've got the Somali community, you've got Dearborn Michigan. But they only exist because we permit them to exist. I disagree. It would be fairly easy to remove all of them. I disagree.
Starting point is 01:02:53 If the government had the willpower to do so. The willpower comes from the voters and the people, and the people are half conquest, conquistadors. I mean, I like you're talking about the U.S.? What? Well, I'm just saying, like, I don't think it's like a, I don't think it's like they've, I don't think they've conquered. They've literally just squatted. I think it's more equivalent to squatters would be a better.
Starting point is 01:03:12 I guess if you're trying to say, I don't want to give them the credit of the noble. Yeah, because I think it's, I hate my point is this. We've got six, we have five people in this room, and we're all going to vote that no one should be allowed in. If five people break in and then now we're splitting our vote between us and them, we don't have the willpower to get rid of them. We're all going to be like, hey, you can't be in there. And they'll be like, well, we vote against you. It's ours now. Yeah, that's the issue with birthright citizenship. Indeed. And so the issue is when you say, if we had the willpower to do it,
Starting point is 01:03:42 You can't have the willpower when the people who are coming to your home are saying outright, I get to vote too and you and I vote not to remove me. I agree, but it's just in the West, like at every turn from the United States to Britain to France to Germany have all voted less migration, less migration, get these people out of here. It's the government in and of itself, even these like right wing parties, which are just like siphons basically for like actual right wing energy. But my point is- To actually carry this out.
Starting point is 01:04:07 That's the problem. My point is the reason you have that government is because they are capable. to those people. Republicans included. Republicans just said we have to back off mass deportation because it's hurting our Hispanic voter base. Right. Now, that's like the moment we're in now. You know, the point is, there is no great conqueror anymore because you don't need to have one. Right. You don't. We have, we have no great barriers that need to be trampled by armed men to raise a flag. They literally walked in the country with their flags. They draped their flags over them and throw Maltaf cocktails at our police. And then our police go, we can't handle this.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And the commissioner goes, listen, half of that guy's family voted for me, so don't do anything about it. Yeah, I guess the point I was making is like I wouldn't equivalent, like, what would be like a Hernin-Cortez-level conquest to, like, what these people are doing now would be the equivalent to like a homeless squatter in Los Angeles and a decrepit building. It's like all they really did is show up and squat here despite clamoring. My point is, Herning Cortez showed up and was greeted like a god. They welcomed him in. He walked right in and then just said, okay, it's ours now. I know. Slaughter him.
Starting point is 01:05:09 So the point is, the people who come here with ill intent, because I'm a big fan of immigration, I'm a huge fan of immigration. I want to brain drain the whole world. They've got to come here legally, though. Legally. So for me, I don't care about race or whatever. I care about the values of a country and whether the people want to come here and uphold the values of a country.
Starting point is 01:05:24 If they don't, I don't see it as any different than Herni Cortez, honestly. They thought he was Quasicotel and said the pale-skinned God has returned in a giant vessel, adorn him with gifts, bring him to the throne. And then Herni Cortez is like, you know, they're killing children. And they're ripping hearts out. Yeah. Pulls out his sword, pulls out, starts stabbing people.
Starting point is 01:05:44 They let him in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like, again, it's just, I don't see like the nobility. I don't think even if push came to shove, they would be willing to conquer like that.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I think for the most part, these people would get emptied out if you just like eliminated the economic incentives from the be there. Right, right. But, admittances, etc. But you can't. A lot of them just self-deport.
Starting point is 01:06:04 But again, but again, the point is you are arguing for a split population to issue a mandate over another portion of the population. Like, you said, we could get them to leave if the government had the willpower, but the government is composed of these people. The current government's not. Like, this is the problem with, like, the GOP elector is majority white, but they don't behave that way. That's, that's, but, but because the politicians have Hispanic voters.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Trump needs these, but they issued a mandate telling the Republicans to back off mass deportations because they were losing Hispanic voters. Right. So that's why it's like, that's why people are frustrated at like the Meyer Flores statement, for example, because it's like, if we just ran up the numbers in the white community,
Starting point is 01:06:45 we wouldn't need to like basically water down our message. Half of white people are in favor of mass migration. Well, no. The majority of Americans broadly, the general population are in favor of mass deportations. If you isolated the white population. I'm saying liberals.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Half of white people are voting in favor of mass migration. Yeah, whites it was like, I think it was like 58, 42 for Trump. So, yeah, I mean, I mean, it's, but if you like, again, it's a difficult thing because it's just like, at a certain point, the problem more so is like a procedural issue. It's like if we keep voting for the less immigration party and then we get more immigration, then at a certain point you're the question the entire system at large.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Okay, is democracy capable of delivering a result that would hurt the stock market? That's basically the question at play. And the answer is probably no. Like, the market comes first no matter what, the GDP must go up. And migration up until like literally five minutes ago was kind of a cheat code for the GDP because you just brought in like excess spenders, people that were going to spend money, consume money. And now that's starting to like trickle.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Yeah, that's not the, that's not the case anymore though, especially when you're talking. I mean, it's about until like five minutes ago. And now some of these governments like in Denmark are starting to react accordingly. And they're saying, okay, this is just stupid. And they can literally, people leave when you like eliminate a lot of these economic incentives. Because the majority of people aren't like noble conquistadors. They're literally just leeches.
Starting point is 01:08:04 And like, again, if you eliminate the sort of the food supplies, so to speak, they just go home. Yeah. Yeah, 41% of white people vote Democrat. Yeah, it was like 42, 58. Yeah. 63% of Asians, 83% of black voters. White voters, 56% vote Republican. And then there's the middle of the road.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Hispanics, yeah. And if you distill, like, the white population for groups that would be considered, like, kind of the heritage American population, it's an even much higher proportion. that's voting Republican. Of course. Like the group in the United States that votes the most Republican is English Americans and that's, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:42 would be considered kind of the core group. So like further out you get from like that Anglo-Protestant core of the United States, as like Warren McIntyre put it, the more unlikely you are to see voting patterns that would indicate like protecting the border,
Starting point is 01:08:54 you know, implementing like Christian values and society and these sorts of things. Well, I mean, it's pretty wild to watch like the NBA stuff where they booted that dude from the team and then you had that football player came out and defended him. I will say this.
Starting point is 01:09:08 The NBA just basically fired a guy for saying pride events are unrighteous and he serves Christ. Where are all the prominent Christians in every family? Like, where's Chris Pratt? Yeah. Chris Pratt does commercials
Starting point is 01:09:24 for Hello. And he's massive A-List or celebrity in all the big movies. Why does he not come out and say very calmly and just very nicely? This is wrong? Hey, this is a guy who has an opinion you may not agree with. He didn't tell anybody how to live their lives. He just said that he didn't like it.
Starting point is 01:09:39 And he's a Christian. And we should respect it. Where are the Christians to stand up for this guy who stood up for Christianity? I was arguing with a friend of mine about, well, not really arguing, but I read a friend of mine that is a left-leaning guy. And he's like, well, you know, they have the right to fire and blah, blah, blah. And I replied with, yeah, but do you think it's right? Right. And because that's something to the left, they'll do.
Starting point is 01:09:57 They'll go ahead and they'll say, oh, well, you know, the companies have the right to do that. Would you want this person with this bad opinion? And, of course, he said, would you want a communist or Nazi working for you? Because, you know, the most hyperbolic answer you can come up with. And it's like the point isn't about whether or not they have the right. A company, of course, has the right to decide this person should or shouldn't be, you know, contracted with us or what have you. But the point is, do you want to live in a society where someone that expresses their own religious opinions, loses their job because of it.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Yeah, well, and also that's essentially that company deciding what opinion is and isn't correct. Yes. And also on top of that, I'm sorry, we had to endure as, I mean, NBA fans rather, and the players have to endure them celebrating Pride Month and painting BLM on courts and kneeling during the national anthem. There's no problem when people do anything of that sort, but the second that a Christian defends his faith, then it's a problem. And again, it was something that was so mundane and so inoffensive, just saying, look, this is something that I don't agree with.
Starting point is 01:11:07 And he lost the job for that. That is, that's totally ridiculous. And again, I'm not saying that companies must, you know, should be forced to hire people that have, you know, views that don't align with the companies, you know, whatever. Their brand or what have you. But at the same time, like, we do have a First Amendment that protects not only your right to speak. but your right to express yourself and have a, you know, your religion. So where is that same kind of, you know, defense for the First Amendment? Again, and if this, like I said, this guy's a friend of mine, but I know that if it were
Starting point is 01:11:44 some speech that he didn't agree with, in fact, he's actually probably more wishy-washy on the freedom of speech than at least anyone in this room. And they would never say, oh, you know, this is bad speech. You know, they would always be like, oh, you know, if it's bad speech, this is something that we should definitely, you know, we should, we should limit what people can say on the internet or we can, you know, he's made similar comments to that. And it's just, it's, it's so transparent that it's all about the fact that, well, I'm on the left and this guy is what I consider a Christian or what I consider on someone on the right, you know. Well, and it's so interesting because it's not like he was, I mean, I understand that he's a athlete, a public figure. so social media is like an extension of you, but it's not like he was on the court saying all this. He wasn't dragging it into the workplace.
Starting point is 01:12:35 It's not like he's a Walmart employee screaming at people to accept them because they're whatever. You know, like he's not dragging it into the workplace. He's not shoving it down the throats of his teammates or, you know, anything of that sort. But that's how it's just taken and accepted. And he's punished for it for essentially no reason. And also like, I think part of the reason
Starting point is 01:12:55 you're not seeing like a lot of Christians go to bad. for the skies because Christians have gotten really soft on the gay, the LGBT issue, like in the last 10 years. Because Christians are, especially evangelicals, are really sensitive to, like, how they're perceived by the world because they're ultimately evangelicals are like trying to bring people into the church. You're saying, you need to come. You need to come to our church and you become a Christian. So it's actually kind of a healthy tendency is they're like worried about putting, like, turning people off.
Starting point is 01:13:19 The problem is this issue is so out of step with like what the current consensus is from the world and the country by and large. So yeah, as soon as you say like, yeah, maybe two games. guy is getting married. I don't actually view that as a marriage. It doesn't matter how left wing you are on every other issue. You're going to be perceived as like a right wing bigot, etc. I think the reason you're not seeing a lot of these Christians speak out again is because that is the one issue that makes Christians really uncomfortable and they have to speak out on. That's why every time you see a pastor go up to give a sermon over like a passage that discusses
Starting point is 01:13:48 homosexuality, they give you like a 15 minute preamble about how they don't hate homosexuals and they apologize for how Christians have treated homosexuals in the past. That's why you see whenever you see the deconversions, right, where people have this, like, reckoning and they realize I'm not a Christian anymore. I'm so out of step with, like, my church, et cetera. Typically, the issue you see them cite is how the church treats homosexuals. I mean, Rhett and Link comes to mind where Retton Link had this, like, video series. It was so long ago now, but they were like, I can't be a Christian anymore. I'm leaving the church.
Starting point is 01:14:15 And the main reason they cited, out of all the problems people could have with Christianity, out of all the critiques, all, like, even if they go through, like, you know, the history of the Bible and maybe where they think there's like they could try and poke holes, etc. Ret and Link were like, I had a gay friend and I realized I couldn't hug him anymore. Like if I were like to be true to my Christian values, I couldn't even hug him anymore. So therefore I can't be a Christian. And that just kind of shows you how strong this like the homosexual issue is and how much pressure there is from the LGBT kind of lobby or community, whatever you want to call them. Because Christians are absolutely petrified on this issue.
Starting point is 01:14:46 And then in addition to that, people leave the church because they're so afraid of being perceived as a bigot. Because that's like what is the one thing in America that you cannot be above all else? It's a bigot. That's a horrible thing. You do not want to be a bigot. Granted, a lot of people in the ride are now just like, I don't care what you call me anymore. But the reality is the vast majority of people, people that aren't watching this show, but the vast majority of Americans are still really concerned with how they're perceived. They want to be like, you know, normal. Let's pull this story in light of this conversation. We have this from SCOTUS blog. Supreme Court sides with therapists in challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. So this is big news that dropped today. Of course, the only person who didn't agree was Katanji Brown Jackson because Anyway, the Supreme Court on Tuesday is in a challenge to Colorado's ban on conversion therapy treatment intended to change a client sexual orientation or gender identity for young people back to the lower, for them to apply a new standard by a vote of 8 to 1. The justice has agreed with Kaylee Childs, the licensed counselor challenging the law that the ban discriminates against her based on the views that she expresses in her talk therapy. The federal appeals court wrote for the Gorsuch wrote, should have applied a. a more stringent standard review known as strict scrutiny to determine whether the law violates the First Amendment. But the Supreme Court also strongly hinted the ban would fail that test.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Gorset stressed that in cases like Charles Colorado ban, Charles, Colorado's ban censorses speech based on viewpoint because the First Amendment reflects a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely and a faith in their free marketplace of ideas, as the best means for discovering the truth. Gorsuch continued any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint, represents and egregious assault on both of those commitments. Katanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter. Yep. She argued the majority's opinion could be ushering in an era of unprofessional and unsafe
Starting point is 01:16:33 medical care administered by effectively unsupervised health care providers. It was always the craziest thing to me that they made conversion therapy illegal. If an individual is gay or trans and decides they want to go to a doctor to stop that behavior, that is their choice. But also, what is therapy if not? some sort of conversion. You're clearly going to therapy because you find there to be something wrong with your mental state or physical state even. You're going to therapy to intentionally change or fix that. That is some sort of conversion, is it not? I think therapy is a scam. I agree.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I think therapy is like drug dealing in that here's somebody like, it's largely women. They're depressed. They're upset. So they go to therapy and the therapist just affirms everything they're saying and it makes you feel good. And then they say, keep paying me money, you need me. And then people develop a dependency on this social affirmation. Yeah. Well, and I think it's also the rise in therapy is coincided with the rise in things like social media that have taken human interactions out of your daily life.
Starting point is 01:17:43 But, I mean, this is just beyond ridiculous. It's not even opinion-based. Like, this is in conversion therapy is just. stupid on its face as a band. But for you to not be able to tell a little boy that he's a little boy, under the guise of you're going to hurt somebody's feelings or hurt somebody's, you know, perceived ideology is just ridiculous. Let me ask you guys something.
Starting point is 01:18:06 Do you feel like more people than normal are depressed? Yeah. I do. Yeah. The highest range ever. People I know, and have known for a long time, all seem to have this like low-level depression about everything right now. Well, we talked about this last week.
Starting point is 01:18:21 I was talking about us with my wife. Here's how story started. We went to Frederick because we were like, we had to do some like administrative stuff in Maryland because we saw the properties over there. And then the way back, I was like, oh, we should go to a liquor store because we used to stop at this liquor store in Brunswick that has the craziest booze. That's where we got all the papy and stuff. And then, you know, my wife's like, yeah, she's like, I'll get a great wine. And you got, you're like, I'll get a nice wine. You can get something for the studio.
Starting point is 01:18:44 And I was like, well, nobody drinks anymore. And I was like, there was a. point in like 2022 where we had this shelf in the old studio with tons of booze like really expensive stuff like $2,000 tequila. And when guests would come in, I'd be like make yourself a drink. And then they'd make themselves a drink. Slowly after that, people started drinking less and less. And so we stopped restocking because we just had booze sitting there and nobody was drinking it. Then I got to the point where every single guest was like, you know what, I stopped drinking. And I'm not saying drinking correlates. I'm saying around this time, people still
Starting point is 01:19:19 seemed to be having less and less fun as well. And maybe it is drinking. I don't know. But it used to be that before the show, it was shenanigans. Guests would come. They'd bring a bunch of people with them. Then there'd be like, we'd show them chicken city. There'd be people playing games, watching movies.
Starting point is 01:19:37 There'd be people skateboarding. Now it's like everybody feels largely like to a lower degree depressed, not just, you know, around here. It's like people are kind of like, I don't know. but the guests we bring on don't drink anymore. People are kind of like, well, you know, I'm just going to head out. People don't stick around. It feels like, and again, I know like maybe it's just us, but whatever, but I've experienced this at restaurants, the places we used to go hang out in Frederick.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Not as fun anymore. No, like the people there seem to, the energy is gone. There's not as many people at the arcade. It feels like people are generally depressed about everything right now. Yeah, well, you have to look at it. Like drinking for the most part is a social, It's something you do when you're socializing. It's more of a, it's not an upper per se,
Starting point is 01:20:22 but it's something that you do to let loose and get a little rowdy, for lack of better words. I feel like this is correlation to the rise in smoking and vaping and things like that too, which are pretty anti-social behaviors if I would have to assess it. I think it's the internet. Yeah, that too, course.
Starting point is 01:20:42 The internet's ruined everything and we need a nuclear war. We need scattered EMPs everywhere that wipe out the grid and send us back to the 1800s so that we're forced to have community again and then we'll be happy. Yeah, what if there was just like a virus that mass uploaded to every piece of technology? That actually almost happened. It was called DNS cash poisoning. Yeah. That was a huge exploit that was discovered in like the 2000s, I think. That could have shut the entire internet down. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Part of the problem is like, this is one of the cases where like Fox News, prime time television is more correct than like anybody else in the such. It actually is liberalism. Like liberalism in and of itself, specifically for young men, which have like the highest like depression rates as far as like reporting clinical depression. The reason for that is because it eliminates all things that young men are supposed to be doing, which is at least pursuing greatness in the sense of pursuing some way of spending yourself in the history books. I think it was like Sam Hyde had a joke about.
Starting point is 01:21:44 how like 100 years ago, you know, an autistic dude would be going through his town and documenting every beetle in his town and he'd be like this great, you know, like, documentary of Beatles and that sort of thing. And he had a beetle named after him. And then now he's just like grinding hours on like factorial or something like that.
Starting point is 01:21:59 Yeah. And there's truth of that. It's because like every avenue for a young man that would typically be there that would allow them to do great things has been completely shut off. Likewise, every empire throughout history, every civilization that opened the most doors
Starting point is 01:22:11 to young men to be able to do great things. Like think about the British. I mean, when the British, like, went out and conquered the world, it didn't just, like, happen organically. It's because they, like, open those pathways up for young men to be able to go out and, like, conquer new lands and these sorts of things. The United States did something similar. And now all of those are removed where liberalism, again, it strips away every identity
Starting point is 01:22:28 that you even have, it, like, reduces you to a blank slate. Therefore, the only, like, accomplishment you can ever even have is, like, these, like, micro goals that are, like, permitted, like, oh, I got a promotion, these sorts of things. But it has no, like, it doesn't give you the fulfillment that you need as a young man, and this is women are especially miserable and just tap. I actually think a big piece of it too is that we don't have families. Yeah. That's part of it.
Starting point is 01:22:48 So one of the things I see with a lot of the people that I know from like back home, like where I grew up or still there. Some of them have kids that are miserable. Don't get me wrong. But a lot of people that I know from all walks of life who are in their mid to late 30s with no family feel, I see like this minor depression and I'm like, I think it's because humans are supposed to have families. And it was this old trope that when you when you got. older and had kids, you didn't have friends anymore. And it was like lamented. But the reality was
Starting point is 01:23:18 you spent time with your family. Yeah. Like you don't want to go to the bar and meet up with the boys. Like you want to take your wife and kids out to go to the lake and have a picnic and that's what your enjoyment is. So you don't really need to have these big social items, but you do a little bit sometimes. Well, now the problem is everybody's old. I've had a bunch of friends and colleagues who have died already. I'm 40. And so it's not as pronounced. It's a it's a it's a parabolic curve. As you get older, more people, you know, die. And, you know, I was just rest in peace to Dan Kaminsky, because I just looked him up and it's sad because he died a few, he died five years ago.
Starting point is 01:23:53 And he's the guy who solved DNS cash poisoning. And I'm thinking about like five years ago, 10 years ago, the adventures, the crazy stuff that was going on. And I was thinking like, you know, it's not so much that great people are retiring or dying or checking out. it's that there there isn't this passionate older generation like millennials who are excited to pass on what they've learned to a younger generation because there's no younger generation. Yeah, well, and also when you take away the aspect of family and children, what exactly
Starting point is 01:24:26 are you living for to a certain extent? Like you have no legacy. If you're essentially just going to die off and then, you know, at some point, you're literally just, you know, people are living for the weekend. Like you go through, you go through life, ah, work, this, that. the other. I can't wait until Friday night where I can be a degenerate and do whatever. But that's essentially all people live for. But big balloons in your shirt and awesome hookers. And also like specifically with young men is you're seeing this weird situation happen specifically with like conservative men
Starting point is 01:24:54 where it's the same problem but the solution is what we think we want to hear from that young man is they're pursuing family and like marriage and children but they're pursuing it so hard that that's like that is the goal in and of itself where it's like a family having a family should be an outcome of a great life like you're performing well in life you're doing well therefore you have a family pursuing it creates this problem that's like scarcity mindset where you like you start to approach life with this scarcity mindset and you'll just take whatever I can get and what that's resulting in is a lot of men and also women like because I know a lot of young women that are desperate to get married and the problem is when you're desperate to do something you're just
Starting point is 01:25:34 going to take what's available to you. And the problem is now you're ending up with these men and women. Young people I know are ending up in really horrible situations where they're married and things. They married the wrong person. I hate to say it, but it's true. My dad would always tell me, never buy a car in a hurry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:50 That's the idea. It doesn't, you know, because women are cars. Yeah, so it's the scarcity mindset. So what's happening is young men. Not people. Half of a person. Three quarters. Three quarters.
Starting point is 01:26:02 And so it's screwing over a lot of. not screwing over because it's a good situation, but the young men that should be pursuing something great, they realize that's cut off to them. So they're like, the only way I'm ever going to have any, like, print any proof I was alive would be if I have children.
Starting point is 01:26:18 So they become desperate. And then the desperation would hurt you. But women are men these days. That's the problem. Is that for a Gen Z guy who's like, I want to find a wife, you go and find a wife and she's like, well, I have a career.
Starting point is 01:26:31 And it's like, okay, well, I want to find a wife who wants to be, a mother, and that's harder because of social pressures on women. Yeah. They have been raised. Millennials and Gen Zeman have been raised to be told, you should not be a mother, should be a CEO. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Yeah, young men and young women have split completely opposite directions, whereas, yeah, women have become hyper-masculinized, like, in terms of their goals being a career, putting off family, I mean, maybe forever. And certainly, they're not aspiring to have kids as much as they should. and now young men are reverting back to traditionalism, to, you know, conservatism, to religion, their wanting families, and the women aren't adding up to that. So, yeah, like, if the market is scarce, you do become a little desperate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:16 So it's not, that's not really, I'm not really, I'm not really, I'm not really blaming people for ending up in that scarcity mindset. It's just natural. And there's not really, this is the black people. There's not really, like, a solution for it outside of, like, drastic measures that probably won't happen in our lifetimes, like banning the internet or something. And so part of the problem that you're seeing is there are young men and are young women, sorry, there are young men and are young women who would make great husbands, would make great wives,
Starting point is 01:27:39 and they're out there and they're like longing for a spouse. They just can't find each other because all the institutions that would have facilitated them meeting are dead now. The churches, by and large, I mean, I know there's like the headlines in the New York Post, like men are flocking back to Christianity. If you look at the data, Zoomers are like the least church generation. I'm sorry, it's just the reality. Like schools, a lot of people are opting on in college or people are having pretty miserable college experiences. so they're not really meeting in college. The only ways these people are meeting are like bars or like the dating apps,
Starting point is 01:28:05 which is the overall majority are dating apps. The problem is the people that have the temperament to be like a really good spouse are really put off by dating apps. They hate dating apps and they're miserable on there. That's contributing to even more depression, more black pill. That's why what you do is you go to the supermarket and, you know, you're like, you're walking and there's like, you know, I want to meet her and then you drop something. Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:28:29 I just like, oh, sorry about this. that, hey, by the way, my name's Tate, nice to meet you. You know, just Sunday shop and you live around here. The problem is to your point where, and this is the point you make all the time, and it's true is like, this is the smallest generation, you know, of the modern world. Well, not Gen Z. Gen Z is the same size of millennials. Right.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Alpha's microscopy. It's getting smaller and smaller where I'm just walking around and I'm like, everyone's really old. Yep. Everyone's really old. And also the areas that are more conservative are older. Like the cities are where all the young people are, and then everyone's lived on. How old are you know? 25.
Starting point is 01:29:00 You are so. supposed to be surrounded by 17, 18-year-olds. But for real, the way it usually always, it's supposed to go is 40 million of one generation, 60 million to the next, 80 million to the next. And so for millennials to go 80 million and then Gen Z is 80 million, this is where it stops. And now Gen F is getting smaller. My prediction was that there will like, let me just put it this way. Sabrina Carpenter can sell out an arena. Metallica can overflow stadiums. I don't think we are going to have generational person. So I'm going to say this. When I was just, when I was looking up, looking up Dan Kaminsky, rest in peace,
Starting point is 01:29:42 I was thinking about like the great minds of this generation and the people that exist today. We are not going to see this as much with Gen Z and we're not going to see it with Gen Alpha, not because there won't be great minds. There will be prominent personalities. But that the issue is, millennials aren't, I'm sorry, guys, millennials aren't going to be like,
Starting point is 01:30:03 yo, put on that new Sabrina Carpenter. Let's rock, you know? Sorry. I've got three dog night. I've got the clash. I've got smashing pumpkins, Pearl Jam. I was just playing yellow lead better for my daughter
Starting point is 01:30:16 because that song was going viral and it's a great song. I'm not going to put on Sabrina Carpenter and we're going to like jam to espresso. All of the songs from when I grew up, they affect the boomers, Gen X, and Millennials. It's a massive compounding group.
Starting point is 01:30:32 And so like you've got classic rock. Gen Z has access to a lot of classic rock stuff too, but the Gen Z artists will not resonate with millennials, the way that millennial artists will. And that means Gen Z artists are going to market only to Gen Z, whereas millennials have access to basically every market. Yeah. To put it simply, a stadium promoter, he goes, the stadium says like, hey, who should we book for the stadium to play music because we want to make money?
Starting point is 01:31:02 And they go, Sabrina Carpenter. And they say, okay, who's that? She's a massive celebrity. I mean, she's a Gen Z superstar. Wow, how many tickets says she sell? 10,000. We have 80,000 seats. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:31:13 What else we have? You got Eminem. What does he sell? 50. Okay. Now we're cooking. What else do we got? You'll sell out if you do Metallica.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Let's book Metallica. Yeah. You're not going to see people like Sabrina Carpenter propped up at the highest levels because millennials are not interested. Also, do we think that's because of the internet? Because Gen Z's the first generation that actually grew up with the internet. I feel like most millennials can still remember life prior to the internet being so prevalent. Maybe, but it's because the way it used to work is the boomers would have a rock band.
Starting point is 01:31:44 They'd listen to Zeppelin. And there's 80 million boomers. Yep. So when they sell tickets to Zeppelin, when these people are now in their late 20s, early 30s, they have money, they pack the stadium. But millennials are bigger. So boomers die a little bit. There's about 60 million now.
Starting point is 01:32:00 They start retiring. They don't care to go to shows. There's 80 million millennials. And the promoters go, listen, if we're going to book a stadium, let's take a look at the millennial market's 80 million. The boomer market's 60 million. Do the millennials. Now millennials are 80 million.
Starting point is 01:32:13 Gen Z is 80 million. It's the same. And they're saying, eh, we can get Gen X and millennials on smashing pumpkins. So we're not going to do Sabrina Carpenter. in 10 years, there's going to be microscopic gen Alpha, Gen Z, and they're going to say, look, we can get between Gen X and millennials, 100 million people to sell tickets. Nobody wants to see a Gen Z artist. There's no, so if you had a Gen Z artist, the younger generation is listening to them.
Starting point is 01:32:41 So with smashing pumpkins, Gen X was like, let's go. And then I was a little kid going, let's go. So then when we're older, we're all watching. Now you've got a smaller generation. So when Sabrina Carpenter pops up, there's no young people. There's only 40 million Gen Alpha. So when they're like, between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, we've got 100 million potential market. And millennials, boomers, Gen X, we still have 150.
Starting point is 01:33:04 So let's go where the money goes. So for the first time in the past 100 years or 200 years, culture is stagnating intentionally because there's not enough individuals in the younger market to buy into new culture. I think we've probably had this discussion before, but I think a lot of it is because, like, taste are democratized now. So the thing with Zoomers is not only are the pallets, if they're more diverse,
Starting point is 01:33:29 they're able to access that music more easily because of Spotify, because of streaming. You don't just buy the album, you don't listen to the radio anymore. You just go and listen to whatever you want to listen to so people diverge and their interest and their tastes. You don't build cult followings like you used to. You don't build cult followings,
Starting point is 01:33:39 and the radio can't dictate who a star is. It's impossible to... Oh, that's not true. They can't build a superstar anymore. They could, but it doesn't work. Spotify and Pandora and Apple Music absolutely control what music is in rotation. 100%. I don't know anyone that listens to like top 50 hits in Spotify.
Starting point is 01:33:58 When you go into a rental car or in a Tesla, when you pick up the radio station, it's got the modern hit streaming. And you have to select something else. I think most people are doing their own thing. That's true. But I suppose the difference is with like radio, you had 10 radio stations. Now you have infinity radio stations. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:16 So people can navigate. get away, they are dictating who will be on the charts by making streams happen by putting them on default rotation. Yeah, I think that's true. But it's not impactful. It's not culturally. I think while you are largely correct, we've talked about it, I do think the issue largely has to do with, bro, I got a best. I put on the radio, I know what bands I'm listening to. I'm an old man. Right. I have no interest in like, I might hear a new song and be like, oh, that's pretty good. Well, and a point. But I'm going to put on Pearl Jam. And a point, well, in a point everyone misses on this issue specifically is, like, the reason why, and people, this isn't going to be controversial, but it's true. A large reason why genres like rock are supposed to dying out is because it's a conspiracy to shut down our people's music. Well, no, well, yeah, that. But that's kind of actually the point is that, yes, Zoomers are like the most diverse generation in history, like half non-white. So that's why, again, like Latin artists are huge. It's not just, it's not, it's actually organic. Like, zoomers, a large proportion, the largest proportion so far, of,
Starting point is 01:35:15 Zoomers, it's like 30% of Zoomers are hysterics. No, I think while your points about ethnicity and birth and all that are true, the fact that in movies, in order to hit a certain tone, they have to use rock songs, proves that rock actually is the dominant popular culture, but is being suppressed. Yeah, there's, they did that movie with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown and the robots, and the soundtrack was Guns and Roses or something. Yeah. And I was sitting there being like, brothers 80s music. Right. Well, because, like, Because if you're in Hollywood and you're trying to make like a very American-feeling movie, it's still- It was for kids.
Starting point is 01:35:52 It was a movie for kids. When Marvel did Iron Man, they did AC-D-C. Yeah, because it's still like, it's still supposed to be like- Bro, name me the movie where- Culturally American. And I'm saying Gen Z, a lot of Gen Z isn't culturally American. They're culturally other. Yeah, but this movie was an international film for kids.
Starting point is 01:36:09 It was CGI robots. People in China are watching Iron Man. They're thinking, that's America. Holy crap. That's so American. It's not like a globe. It's appealing to the globe. And that's why you see a lot of these... What I'm saying is in terms of a soundtrack that captures an emotion, when you have a robot jumping out of the sky and he's about to slam onto the ground, they're playing guns and roses.
Starting point is 01:36:27 When he starts fighting, it plays Welcome to the Jungle because the statement, welcome to the jungle resonates with a robot punching other robots. Yeah. And I think it's just, I mean, yeah, I think it's primarily because it's like a culturally American movie. But people love American culture. But this is my point. If that was the case, rock would be on the top of the charts all the time. But that's my point is that the majority of Gen Z isn't culturally American anymore. So then I think you're missing my point that when they make a new movie for young people,
Starting point is 01:36:54 but they put guns and roses in it, they're saying that the emotion required, and this is rock, but then for some reason they won't put new rock songs on Apple's default player. Yeah, because I think because the movie is culturally American. And the Apple player's not. Yeah. But the movie's for Gen Z. What are we missing here?
Starting point is 01:37:13 Because they made a movie for Gen Z and for little kids. It is rock music. When like a Hispanic person or a black person is going to watch Iron Man, they're like, this is a very like white movie. It's like Tony Stark's white. Like it's like a culturally white American. Made a billion dollars. Yeah, because people like love that culture.
Starting point is 01:37:28 People love Calvaries. Why do the movies use 80s and early 90s rock and Apple and Spotify won't put rock in the default in the default modern hits? Because culturally American sells like in Hollywood. Hollywood is still like, that's like, that's the preeminent culture in the movies is like this kind of American culture. where Apple Music is just trying to figure out who's listening to what.
Starting point is 01:37:49 And the majority of consumers are not this is not logical. Yeah. These movies made a billion dollars. I'm saying you can't do a Motley crew sound like, no, Motley Crews is a band, but you can't do like random. When Guardians of Galaxy came out,
Starting point is 01:38:02 all of those 70 songs charted. Yeah. Because, well, that's just... So why won't they put these songs in rotation on Apple and Spotify? Well, I don't know all the... I mean, if it's dictated by them, then I don't know.
Starting point is 01:38:13 I mean, presumably... That's the point. trying to boost. The point is Guardians of the Galaxy came out one and the soundtrack charted.
Starting point is 01:38:19 All of the songs became massive again. I think the highest that what was the song from Guardians 3? You know what I'm
Starting point is 01:38:29 talking about? I'm not sure. Let me find this one. I mean like the Black Panther soundtrack charted after that movie came out because the movie
Starting point is 01:38:35 was wildly popular and everyone clocked at as like this is a culturally black American movie. In the meantime, by Spacehog. I'm pretty sure Spacehog
Starting point is 01:38:41 never charted as high as they did in the 90s their one hit until Guardians of the Galaxy 3 came out. So you have a 90s song hitting the charts because a movie put it there made a billion dollars and everyone loved it and then the music industry is like we will not play these songs.
Starting point is 01:39:01 That is intentional. That's it. Well, again, because it's like... Yeah, they're intentionally saying we know the music makes money and it's huge and we will not play it for the people of the world. Country music. Bro, you go to Japan and they're singing country roads. You go to India. They're singing country roads.
Starting point is 01:39:18 They know what West Virginia is only because of how big that song is. What's that Brian Adams song? You know I'm talking about? The biggest song in the world? I do it for you, right? Yeah. That was the biggest song ever. What does it do like 100 million sales or something like this?
Starting point is 01:39:37 Again, all of this old stuff, they know, sells and makes bank. Like, again, the Guardian soundtrack charted a whole bunch of songs. Look at Netflix when they played running up that hill. And from the 80s went to number one. Why won't the labels take the music they know makes billions and put it on play? They are intentionally losing money and destroying this. Make it make sense.
Starting point is 01:40:04 Into a road white American culture. Yeah, I think that's the primary reason that that's the conspiracy theory. that they're intentionally trying to shut out the arts that Americans traditionally created and it's not white Americans, it's Americans in general. But it's not a conspiracy because they like literally during Black History Month at the very front of Spotify would be like amplifying black music
Starting point is 01:40:24 and same thing with like whatever the Hispanic month is like amplifying Latino voices. So it's like no it's not a conspiracy they actually do admit like hey we're prioritizing these artists over the mainstream typically likes the kind of the nostalgia's in right now. The nostalgia is hearkening back to a time where America was a lot wider than it is. That's why most of the music
Starting point is 01:40:42 in it is white-coded. I think the running up that hill thing, like how many weeks did running up that hill chart after Netflix, after Stranger Things? Yeah, it was a long long time. And that was like what season three or something? They also drilled it into your head in that season. It was a TikTok song too. A lot of people were using it on TikTok. But I didn't say that happened with Master and Puppets because of
Starting point is 01:41:02 because of... Yep, that's right. And that charted again and it became big. And what you was like 80, 80, early... 186 is when that was came out of it. And so So here's the crazy thing. These songs appear in a cultural reference and instantly everyone loves it. So I love the story of Yellow Ledbetter, Pearl Jam song that came out,
Starting point is 01:41:23 what was it like 95 or something, I think? Yellow Ledbet, that record came on 92. 10 came out in 92. It was not on 10. It was a B-side after the fact. So then maybe it was 93. It might have been four. 94 was the year for everything.
Starting point is 01:41:35 The story is that Pearl Jam released 10 and Yellow Ledbetter was not on the album because they didn't have room for it. And everybody loved the music so much that the radio stations were trying to find they were desperate for new Pearl Jam. So a B-side was released in the UK and that was Yellow-Ledbetter,
Starting point is 01:41:53 the song Yellow-Bet, I forgot the, I don't know what the B-Sat was called. And so this radio station plays it and it was the first time a song charted without being commercially available. So you couldn't buy it, but people heard it and they loved it. It was released in 92
Starting point is 01:42:07 was the B-side to Jeremy. Oh, okay, 92. Wow. Because the record came out in 91. There you go. So my point is, it used to be an organic cultural phenomenon happened. Yeah. And then everyone said, we love this and it became number one. So now you have music that we know the majority of a genre that does better than everything else.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Like the stuff, Sabrina Carpenter, for instance, it's a catchy summer bop, espresso, but most people wouldn't know it. You go to a bar and you play it. people can be like, what? Would you go to a bar and you play Pearl Gym? Everyone knows the words. It phases out too. Like, I never hear espresso anymore. Of course.
Starting point is 01:42:45 Yeah. Like, that's the thing, but like I won't hear. So ultimately, my point is these new songs they keep trying to make don't make money. They're big. But again, so we need to carpet ourselves arenas, not stadiums. Rock hits and everyone knows it. Yeah. So why not just play those songs?
Starting point is 01:43:03 Well, there's also this thing that happens where like modern, society needs a soundtrack. The modern world needs a soundtrack. And eventually that hits capacity. Christmas music, this happened to it 20 years ago where like maybe early aughts was like the last few songs made it in. And then boom, shut. We have, we have enough songs. The Christmas soundtrack has enough songs. That's what's happening like the modern world is we've hit capacity. There's enough hits that everyone knows we don't need anymore. That's why when you go to a wedding, they'll play a song from the 50s or the 60s. Everyone knows it at every age. It's cultural stagnation. That's what is. We're full. But we need, you know,
Starting point is 01:43:37 We should write a Thanksgiving song. Name me one Thanksgiving song. Now Thanksgiving, that is pure America right there. Yeah. But there is no song. Yeah. We got a bunch of Christmas songs. We got Halloween music from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Starting point is 01:43:53 That'll last forever. But there's something to like the concept of like the stuck culture where at some point in the early 2010. Yeah. Man. Guys, can we just accept that we peaked in 94 and we've been all downhill since then? All of the greatest songs ever produced were 1994. The only people in this room that were alive in 94 were me and Tim. Well, Carter, you're alive.
Starting point is 01:44:15 He was four. Oh, okay. So he was sitting there giggling as every album, all the greatest albums ever made ever were released. The 90s were an amazing time for music. Like you couldn't have a band like Primus nowadays. Whether or not you actually enjoy Primus music, like Primus music, like Primus really was a very fresh sounding, different band. There's a lot of bands in the 90s
Starting point is 01:44:40 that had a really fresh and new style. Because also in the 90s, you could be serious about things and still be perceived as cool, where with Zoomers, everything has to be like with a degree of irony. So if you actually try to be serious and produce something serious,
Starting point is 01:44:53 everyone thinks it's cringe and gay. I know we know this before, but throwing copper live was 1994. Yeah. Bro. What else do we have? We have... Serity is the most cringe thing
Starting point is 01:45:02 you could possibly do. Offspring smash. Those guys suck, but, you know, I'll give them that. Like in light of the internet too, where everything needs to be, like, provocative in some sort. Charlie Kirk dies and now my reels are all Charlie Kirk memes. Stone Temple Pilots Purple.
Starting point is 01:45:17 Monster R.m. Weezer Blue Album. I'll give R.M. a little bit there. They were good. Motley Crew. Whole, live through this. That was fun. Oasis. Oh, Lunar strain. Furl jam Vitology. Green Day, Duky, Sound Garden, Super Unknown. Come on. A lot of these albums since. Nirvana unplugged.
Starting point is 01:45:34 A lot of the music that we burn my eyes. by Burma, Ayes and Loeb, by Testament came out. Dude. The bleeding was released. There was this post I saw it right out a while ago. It said, every song you recognized from the 90s actually was just 1994. And it was, it's not literally every song, but there's like 30 huge, like melancholy was 94, melancholy infinite sadness. And what was, when was in utero?
Starting point is 01:45:57 That was 94, right? In utero? Yeah. It might have been earlier than that. Maybe 93. Yeah, I think in utero was. But like, zoomers have this equivalent. where we harked back to 2016.
Starting point is 01:46:08 Yeah, it was 93. Yeah, that's very, very true. Yep, yep. Because the beginning of this year, everybody, yeah, everybody in the beginning of this year was like, are we going to channel 2016 energy for 20, 26? Well, that's when the large Hadron Collider turned on, you know, at CERN and warped reality for the worse. Yeah, and there's like certain music that takes me back to 2016.
Starting point is 01:46:28 Like the views album by Drake, when I hear that, I just think about summer 2016. And like, you're cringing, but like, zoomers may be able to actually communicate that to their children and then it could turn into Hotline Blink could turn into like kind of I like I'm sorry like do you know the song 1979? Like uh-huh That's right that song came up before you were born
Starting point is 01:46:47 Yeah and you know what it is And I think there's certain songs among zoomers That could get passed down to their children You know it's really funny We just have to see we just have to see We're going to go to the Rumble Rans and chats and all that But these all these like MTV woke nerds are really mad Because I pointed out that magic is a game of chance
Starting point is 01:47:04 and skill and that it's never been subject to, but we've been talking about this gambling stuff. And so this like, this guy says he can beat me at magic. And I'm just like, the first thing I point out is I love, I love human beings because humans have this great capability to assume they are stronger, smarter, and better than literally everybody, no matter what. Like, here am I, a guy who's played magic for 30 plus years. It's 32 years now with a half a million dollar magic at the gathering.
Starting point is 01:47:34 collection, a ridiculous amount of magic cards, winning tons of tournaments and playing very seriously most of my life. And this guy's just like, I could take him. And it's like, bro, like, by all means, you can say, I don't know, maybe it, maybe I could. That's fine to say, but like going on Twitter, like Tim Poo's a dumbass, I'll beat him. But my favorite part in the reason I bring this up is that this woman then tweeted something like right wing chuds think they're good at magic or whatever as a cope. And then my response was just like, you know, the craziest thing to me is that I was winning tournaments before you even existed. Like, I'm not saying to be a dick.
Starting point is 01:48:07 It's just kind of a crazy thought to me that, like, she was 26. And I was like, man, I had actually already been playing for like five or six years when you were born. Like, you were literally in the hospital screaming and I was winning, like, tournaments. It's just a crazy thought, you know? Yeah. It's just like, wow. Look where we are.
Starting point is 01:48:27 Culturally stagnated. But it is kind of weird to me that we're not doing new things. and I think it has to do with the fact that there's no babies. Yeah, but I also, it's very interesting because both your points on the music are the fact that we're like yearning for nostalgia and what we grew up with. Well, how old are you? I'm 25. Yeah, you guys didn't grow up with this music.
Starting point is 01:48:49 No, no, no. You have, I did because it's what my parents played for me. No, but I mean, sure. But there was some, there was an article written about this that Gen Z is experiencing like an acronistic nostalgia. Like they were born. after the 90s, but long for the 90s. But, you know, I think, like, people have always experienced that.
Starting point is 01:49:07 I mean, I think, like, our parents, my parents, at least, like, they watch, like, the Andy Griffith show, and they find tremendous nostalgia on that, but they were alive in the 50s and 60s. I think this is different. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't. I don't, I don't. I don't, I don't, but I think that has existed.
Starting point is 01:49:20 The things that, in my mind, I'm like, those are the days are the phone rings, and me and my brother running full speed to answer the phone before the other could because we just wanted to answer the phone. There's no cell phones. Thursday night, the new episode of the Simps comes on and my dad yells, it's on, and then we all run into the living room like the Simpsons
Starting point is 01:49:37 to watch it. And then commercial break, you're running the kitchen, grab the Doritos, going to blockbuster video on Friday after school to pick out the video game to rent for the weekend. That was all 90s. I have no nostalgic feeling for the 80s. I wasn't there. I mean, I was. I also think that you were there, but you know the 90s were better. See, that proves it. The 90s were better. I mean, I was young in the 80s. I was like, you know, I was born in 75, so I was only a teenager for a couple years. But I think a lot of this is like rejecting or like rejecting the internet, rejecting the things that we recognize, even though we're not willing to give them up, but the things that we
Starting point is 01:50:13 recognize actually degrade society, degrade culture. And we're recognizing that that is superior art. So we long for it. Oh, I got it. I'm going to buy 200 acres in like Montana. And we are going to create Springfield. We're going to call it. Springfield, and it's not a Simpsons reference, it's a generic town name, and it will be law that
Starting point is 01:50:36 you cannot bring in technology or cultural practices post in 1999. Here for it. It's like the Amish just updated. Someone comes in, someone comes in playing like, I don't know. Well, that obviously. But I was going to say like 2003, you know, Backstreet Boys or Puddle of Mud, out. Iron squad. Right to jail.
Starting point is 01:51:00 I grew up in a town, or I'm from a town that is directly north of Springfield, Massachusetts. We are going to create a town where it's frozen in time. And you show up and as soon as you walk in, everyone's like, you can't wear clothes. Like everyone has to wear Jenkos. No, no, no, no. That wasn't rock culture. You got to wear jeans with ripped knees and flannel shirts over white t-shirts. Japan kind of did that.
Starting point is 01:51:26 They just got to like the 90s and they're like, we're keeping most of this. And then there's like they're very sensitive to like introduce new things. I walked into some fax machines everywhere. I was like, what's going on? I've got a business idea. If anybody's interested, it's not that I need an investor. It's that we need a manager to make it happen. I need a business partner that I can fund all this, but someone's got to run it.
Starting point is 01:51:47 Here's the idea. Springfield, Montana. It is a hotel with five two bedroom units. And each unit is a decade. you have 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s. Maybe we can do a 50s. When you go into the 80s apartment and you rent it for however long, there's a phone on the wall. When you turn the TV on, it plays television from that time.
Starting point is 01:52:14 So if it's a Friday, we will pick a period on like 1984 on a Friday and have the actual television where you can change the knob and put on whatever TV shows we're on. And when you want to order food from like dominoes or pizza or whatever existed back then, They will show up in the appropriate uniform, carrying the appropriate things. You will be back in time. And you can do a 90s one where you are in a house in the 90s and the windows will be TV screens. And when you look out the window, it will just be the 90s. We've talked about doing this. There's one big constraint.
Starting point is 01:52:46 And that is the high propensity for suicides. I am not joking. That was one, whenever we bring this up, the concern is some middle-aged dude who got divorced seven years ago is going to go to the 90s room. and he's going to sit there in the bedroom with all the posters from all the bands from when he was a kid, start crying and then take his own life. And we are like, so how do you do it? Because like there is that powerful depression and nostalgia, you know? Yeah, people that go to like that lengths to engage in like nostalgia, that's typically the sign of like either entitalization or like trauma.
Starting point is 01:53:19 So I'm not a psychologist. To be fair, would it not be the greatest thing ever to book like two nights at a hotel where as long as you're in this? phone is on the wall and like it's a 90s experience. It probably exists in Japan. I know to keep bringing it up. We have something for people with Alzheimer's. Oh yeah. In a good way.
Starting point is 01:53:40 Perpetually there. We are going to grab your rumble rants in superchats. So smash the like button, share the show and all that good stuff. Let's see what you got. We got Evan for us, as Trump said that the operation in Iran will end and I think one or two weeks, we shall see. Well, he's got a big announcement tomorrow. He may end. It's over.
Starting point is 01:53:56 I mean, he may announce it's the end. he may end it's over he may say we're done we're done mission acknowledged i honestly think based on that big thread one of his strategies may have been to intentionally shut down the strait of Hormuz because it's strangled it puts tremendous pressure on a whole bunch of other countries and locks so long as he says we're done with these campaigns we're going to keep some troops in the region just for stability and then he intentionally lets straight of Hormuz be closed everyone's got to buy from us yeah yep that would be hilarious all right a k storm says
Starting point is 01:54:28 for everyone, how much denaturalization would you guys be comfortable with if birthright citizenship is overturned? Should 30-year-old citizens with illegal parents be booted? No. I would say like six months. I would say 30-year-old if it was birth tourism. Yes. If there is a 30-year-old guy living in China who was born here and he doesn't live here, we just void that right away. Gone. No exploitation. I don't care how long it's been. But if there's someone who's been living here and they're 30 years old and they've only ever lived here and the guy's name is like, you know, I'd say his name was Juan Gonzalez and he speaks Spanish but he also speaks English and he likes the Yankees. I'm like, he's born here as a citizen. I'm not worried about it. We're not going to denaturalize people
Starting point is 01:55:14 like that. The big concern is birth tourism and a manipulation exploitation. Hassan Piker. I'm pretty aggressive on like remigration policies. Like I think they should evaluate entire communities that have refused to assimilate. I agree. If you have any loyalty to another country, what three, four generations, at that point, your citizenship is just paperwork primarily. I mean, again, this is the truth is a lot of those Somalis are here legally. They got all their paperwork, and a lot of them were born in Somalia. A lot of these were born in Somalia. Same thing in Dearborn. Actually, the majority of those people in Dearborn were born in Michigan. So it's like, the de natural is, it just doesn't feel good because it's like, well, they like a lot of the
Starting point is 01:55:48 same cultural things that I do. But really, when you drill down to like what's actually important you how do you evaluate the world? They don't have that much in common. They're trying to ban dogs. Right. Yeah. Yeah. In the U.K., yeah. They're in a different world. So it's like, I think you got to get aggressive. I think you've got to like really evaluate entire communities. And I mean, there could be room for exceptions, obviously, as there always is. But, no, exceptions don't disprove the norm. And you've got to really get a little aggressive with these types of things. All right. Let's see. We got Bill Dozer says, Kristianneum stays strapped and calls him Miss Piggy while doing the Kermit voice.
Starting point is 01:56:20 Wow. Well, Priya, what was your take on? that last one because that's an interesting question. Oh no, I was just going to say I completely agree. I mean, we look at places like little Mogadishu in Minnesota and these people are completely defrauding our country. They're literally ripping off our country and, you know, and the American taxpayer and they're not benefiting the system at all. I don't really care if they're here legally or not. There has to be, there has to be a line that we draw in terms of you're either a benefit to this country and you assimilate and take on our cultures and norms and value them, or you get the hell out. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:56:54 Mm-hmm. I think that the the more we can do to make sure that the people that are in the United States are here because they actually care about our society and care about the values that we have, the better. You're not going to make America worse by getting rid of people that hate America.
Starting point is 01:57:09 Exactly. Snazberry says as a Californian, I renounce my Californian citizenship. Don't lock me in with these monsters. It's so sad because it's like, it's so sad. because it's like California really is. It is geographically the crown jewel of the United States.
Starting point is 01:57:27 Like that's as good as it gets geographically. They have everything. It's the envy of the world. And it's being occupied. This is why Democrats go after the most vital parts of like American society. This is why you look on the Christianity side. That's what they targeted the Episcopal Church first? Because it's like what epitomizes American Christianity more than the church
Starting point is 01:57:43 that like 32 presidents were a part of? Go ahead. No, no, it's okay. I mean, you look at California specifically and we've talked a lot about culture. in the last hour or so. And I mean, California is kind of the epitome of culture worldwide. I mean, you just look at Hollywood.
Starting point is 01:57:59 And obviously, that is like really, really gone downhill, especially recently. But like, that really dictated the type of culture that we, especially in the West, had, but around the world. cars, everything. D. Sage says, I agree with Tim on the rock idea. The next Gundam Hathaway Flash
Starting point is 01:58:17 is using sweet child of mine. Take the L, a Japanese movie, is using US music. That's what I mean, because America, that doesn't disprove what I'm saying at all. I'm saying American culture is the envy of the world. Of course people are going to emulate American culture. And what we've seen from the Japanese posters
Starting point is 01:58:32 is when they think of American culture, they're not thinking of like black or Hispanic culture. They're thinking of like, my name's Mike Stevenson. And it's like blonde, like blonde flat top. Did you see the list of, there was an Nintendo game where a Japanese programmer had to create a bunch of American names? Right.
Starting point is 01:58:49 And it's like Anglo, like names. No, it was just all gibberish. Yeah, but they're, like, broadly like, Johnny Stevenson and stuff like that. It's always, it's always names that, like, sound close to, like, one specific etymology. And that's, that's my point. That's my point.
Starting point is 01:59:05 It's, again, it's like, it's not to say anything. It's just, to my initial point, like the- Sleeve McDycle, Onsen, Sweemy, Darryl Archadeld, Anatoly Smooran, Ray McSrift, Glenn Allen Mixon, Kevin Nogilney,

Holdren says, we need to make ballot harvested ballots have a stupid process involved for it to be considered valid to make it so that only the people that care will vote that way. Agreed.
