Starting point is 00:00:00 So Democrat Adam Schiff got robbed in San Francisco. No one's really surprised because that's San Francisco. And well, when your policies are as such, you will reap what you have sown. And so a lot of people are celebrating the news. But I mean, I really doubt it'll bring any positive change. The news reports funny that they say because his luggage got stolen from his car, he couldn't go to a dinner without a suit on. We'll talk about that. And of course, you've got the ongoing protests across the country pertaining to anti-Israel sentiment. And then you've got this is kind of a big story. Kristi Noem, potential Trump VP pick,
Starting point is 00:00:38 I guess, decided to end her career intentionally letting everyone know that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog because she couldn't train it properly. So she killed it. And I guess we'll talk about that. And then there is a much bigger story, but I suppose the challenge with this is giving it air could potentially exacerbate the issue. But there is what many people are calling the echo of George Floyd, a black man who was yelling,
Starting point is 00:01:05 I can't breathe. This police subdued him. And then they kneeled on his back and he died. Granted, the story apparently is that he was involved in a fatal or not a fatal, but he was involved in a drunk car accident of some sort, knocking out a telephone pole. So the police were trying to apprehend him and he resisted. And now here we are. So we'll talk about that.

Starting point is 00:02:55 Phil's here. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.
Starting point is 00:03:02 What's up, Hannah? Hi. Well, thanks, Hannah Clare. Yes, I'm sorry. Wow, Phil. I thought we were friendsary. What's up, Hannah? Hi. How you doing, Hannah Clare? Thanks, Hannah Clare. Yes, I'm sorry. Wow, Phil. I thought we were friends. I know. Look, hey, look.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I got it out as soon as it stopped. I was like, you're messing up. You're blowing it. And I was like, all right. You self-corrected. And it is a double first name. I'm Hannah Clare Brimlow. I'm a writer for SCNR.com.
Starting point is 00:03:18 That's Scanner News. I'm really grateful to be part of that team. Hi, Serge. Hello. Hope you guys are well today. Happy Friday. All right, let's go. Here's Serge. Hello. Hope you guys are well today. Happy Friday. All right, let's go. Here's the fun story.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Thieves snatch Rep Adam Schiff's luggage in San Francisco. He gives dinner speech without a suit. Oh, poor him. Okay. The real story here is that crime is out of control. I throw it back to that Benny Johnson video. I don't know if you guys saw that one where he was reporting
Starting point is 00:03:44 on crime and got robbed in like while he's filming this video. Everyone's kind of cheering the story on because Adam Schiff, of course, is a Democrat who champions these policies. He's very anti-Trump. And the policies that he has pushed and championed as part of the Democratic Party has led to great suffering. And I guess when people say, hey, look, now he is, you know, victim of these crimes as
Starting point is 00:04:06 well. There's a bit of schadenfreude in there. I don't think it's going to change anything, though. Well, and I think part of it is that what I'm seeing widely reported is, you know, everyone who goes to San Francisco is advised, do not leave anything in your car, anything valuable at all. And for whatever reason, this congressman who represents a California district that has a major city, it's like part of L.A., was like, was like girls don't apply to me no worries this wouldn't happen to me i mean is this a sense
Starting point is 00:04:29 of being out of touch or is this just i mean people make mistakes and leave stuff in their car but he should know that most major cities in california are extremely dangerous i mean sf is like the place right where it's like all happening um you know part of me is like this guy's like a deep state stooge a deep state stooge so i i he he of course knows about this and i guess there's a possibility that democrats just don't read the news and they have no idea what's going on so he's like i can't believe this happened who would have known i think at this point it's just very clear that liberals are incapable of self-government uh they aren't able to enforce the law they aren't able to have anything that's pro-social. Everything about their coalition is about destroying law and order. And so I think when the consequences come, they don't care because ultimately the important part is using
Starting point is 00:05:14 anarcho-tyranny to govern a lot of people that they hate. Yeah, it does seem like it's something that happens to other people in their eyes, and it's not something you have to think about. It's interesting because I just pulled the crime statistics, one of the areas that are that's in his congressional district is west hollywood which has seen a 137 percent uh crime increase in one year that was in 2022 i mean he knows that crime is bad what was he thinking and also again does it just not matter is he not thinking i mean i don't i don't know what the hell he's thinking. It's kind of obvious. You can look around and you see a ton of homeless people and stuff. You can just use your kind of just gut instinct and be like, hey, this area looks like it's not a good idea to leave stuff in my vehicles.
Starting point is 00:06:00 He has to know about the policies of the rental car places that are like, you know, telling people don't leave anything in your car or whatever. Like, so, I mean, it's funny that it happened to him, but I mean. Yeah, I'm going to go with Orrin on this one. And liberals are not capable of self-governance. Like, he just has no idea what's going on, does he? I mean. He's out of touch, it seems like. No cause and effect.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Yeah. Yeah. Well, and he has to worry because now his touch, it seems like no cause and effect. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Andy has to worry because now his suitcase could be in the possession of a crossdresser who works for the Biden administration. Right. I mean, no, no, that only happens at airports. Okay. All right. You know, part of me looking at all this stuff, I'm kind of like, maybe this is just the ebb and flow of society that we have made everything so safe and comfortable that those who normally could not survive in this environment are now capable of doing so and then achieving political power,
Starting point is 00:06:50 which causes conflict. You know, it's like the fourth turning. It's a straw-sout generational theory. But I don't think it's necessarily that weak men make hard times is the easy way to put it. It's that there's just lack of responsibility across the board. I guess technically true to say weak men create hard times, hard times, make strong men strong, make good times, all that stuff. But, um, you know, what I see here is people vote for random chaos. I look at it more like just static. It's noise, right? There's no organization because the strong people allow the chaos to actually grow then the chaos overtakes the order things go crazy and then things like so it's like an ebb and flow of ordering chaos i guess there's the people just the fact that our society demands a social safety
Starting point is 00:07:39 net it it totally glosses over the fact that a the existence of a social safety net is saving people that otherwise would not be saved. And that means that like, and it's very Darwinian stuff, but it's like, if you're, if you have like people that otherwise like would die off or, or like couldn't survive, like with the social safety net, that's, that's making sure that these people survive. So it's like, you know, you're going to have a society, you're going to have a portion of your society that you have to do something with that can't function in society because of the fact that you have a social safety net, right? We don't allow people to just die in the street. So you have to have a society that says we acknowledge that we have a social safety net and we're going to do something about it. And that's something that California hasn't done. If you're going to have a social safety net and we're going to do something about it. And that's something that California hasn't done. If you're going to have a social safety net,
Starting point is 00:08:28 you have to have a place to put people that can't function in society normally. I feel like if we didn't have a social safety net, we wouldn't have people dying in the street. I feel like it is the creation of the social safety net which creates people dying in the street. It reduces the responsibility of families and communities to take care of people. If you had smaller communities, if you had communities that weren't artificially created,
Starting point is 00:08:49 people would feel a duty. They would know the guy at the end of the street. They would know the family he's connected to. They would feel compelled to do that. But when it's handed over to the government, they don't feel that. And so therefore, they're like, well, that's someone else's problem. And that abstraction allows them to have this stuff. But it's not just that. I think there would be substantially less of that circumstance in the first place we we create a system where it you are you are able to make a a choice of you know i won't work well because someone takes care of you if if if if we were talking about natural order and natural law we would not have these problems because it quite literally be like good luck finding food.
Starting point is 00:09:28 You would be too busy trying to survive and find food. But because food is easily abundant, because you don't have to work because of government assistance and all these programs, it creates an option for people to take. And then you've got people in big cities who are thinking, well, they're not going to criminally charge me. What's easier, hunting a boar or stealing luggage from this guy's car? Clearly stealing luggage. There's no conflict. So you get rid of all this stuff and just say to people, good luck, figure it out. And they will. They will take the option and say, well, I guess I have no choice but to go hunting or farming or something. But give them an option to steal and loot and pillage and then get away with it. You know, it's the episode of The Simpsons where Homer goes missing.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And Marge is like, we have to go this way. And like, how do you know which way he's going? And she's like, Springfield slopes, you know, five degrees to the west. So Homer's going to walk downhill. Criminals are going to do the same thing. You create two paths, one slightly downhill and one's flat. And they Homer's going to walk downhill. Criminals are going to do the same thing. You create two paths, one slightly downhill and one's flat, and they're going to be walking downhill.
Starting point is 00:10:29 So that is, commit crimes, get away with it, they will. You eliminate all that and say, your only path towards survival is figuring it out, and people will go in that direction. This is the libertarian argument for small government or no government and anarcho-capitalist argument, the existence of the safety net means
Starting point is 00:10:48 people are going to inherently say, I'm going to rely on it because I know that I can get the very basics taken care of. And especially in modern society, like we have the distractions that are so easy for people to access the internet. And if you can make a look, make money on, you know, get enough from social security or make money, a little bit of money on a side hustle or whatever, and you can pay for your,
Starting point is 00:11:12 your apartment and pay for the internet and pay for some weed like that. That is the, the, the opiate of the masses for today and whether or not that's, I mean, that's clearly not good for society but that is what society is is is promoting at the end of the day and the reason i say that is because there are so many people choosing that option you know so do you think that's because they have a lack of
Starting point is 00:11:36 motivation a lack of religion like what what drives people to sort of pick this i think it's a lot of things i think it's a combination of things so but i think that i mean i think it's a lot of things i and i think that a lack of religion not because i i personally am religious but because it gives meaning to a lot of people and it gives like gives order to people lack purpose i think i think that as much as people say they want to be free which everyone wants to feel like they have options and stuff i think most people need some kind of structure in their life and i think that society is should promote what a structure that is best for most people it's okay to have in my opinion
Starting point is 00:12:19 it's okay to have a society that makes room for people that are outside of the norm right like you want to live a different type of lifestyle we can have a society that makes room for people that are outside of the norm, right? Like you want to live a different type of lifestyle. We can have a society that makes room for it. But the idea that society is promoting, you know, uh, alternative lifestyles is totally counterproductive to society itself, right? Like you shouldn't be saying, Hey, we should have, we should promote a single mothers and, and we should hold single mothers in higher, highest theme. And it's, it's hard because you don't want to say look you know you're a single mother so you're bad but at the same time we should we want to promote two-parent households you know like that's what's best for society and that's not like it's not like it's my opinion saying that like that's kind of replicated in studies all the time and it's also it's like look at societies that are successful generally that's
Starting point is 00:13:04 kind of the way they work in modern planet Earth, you know? You saw the mayor of San Jose had that fight or whatever happen. He's like giving an interview and then some crazy guy in the street just walks up to a security guard and starts punching him. Like, really gets up, knock right in the face. California gets better and better every day. You know what the thing is with California? Is combine giving people free stuff with good weather. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:29 And it's the perfect storm. Dude, it's the weather. Every time I go there, I went there like, I think I went to California six times last year. And every time I'm like, I get it. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not going to move here, but I get it. You know what I mean? Like parts of California are green.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Every day is awesome. February, I, you know, I leave New Hampshirepshire drive down into hartford get on the plane and it sucks at four in the morning or whatever land in california you're just like oh it's beautiful no wonder why like it's so nice they can literally imprison people and only the rich people can get out of there you know but is that say something about the state that it only attracts like the people who have things easiest like maybe maybe there's some uh you know continuity there between like connection between like the the difficulty of life and the rhythms of life and how many people come there and end up just living outside and you know wasting away in that environment i don't know just well i mean it it does there there is
Starting point is 00:14:26 something to be said about you know people that decide to stay in like northern climates that are more difficult to live in like there there are people that are like a little bit more like i would rather be you know in this kind of environment pardon me that's that's up there right in alaska those people are serious about their independence but i mean that's kind of like if you want independence you know it's it's florida or somewhere cold but we did talk about this uh on the culture war podcast this morning that communists are it's i have this backwards but cold weather people tend towards community or or communal or even communism.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And that's why Canada is the way it is. Because it's the people who survived there were people who were light on each other. And so they're very much just do what you're told to do. Maybe. And then you get- Because you can freeze in parts of Canada, especially if you're completely by yourself.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And then you get Florida people who are just like, leave me alone or else. And Texas, you you know communists like cold that's that's it that's it there you go i am sympathetic to the idea that um the people that like decide to decided to come to like the like new england or southern united states or whatever like whatever wave of of people it is they are the people that are like tend to be more like hey i'm gonna go and make my life as opposed to you know people that are just like hey i want i feel a connection to this land or whatever like because there are people that are like you know like i feel like i'm a new englander no matter i'm probably always gonna feel like i'm a new englander i think i
Starting point is 00:15:58 always will too you know like and there's and i'm first gen new england like there is something about growing up in that region they're like the sense of history, the culture that's there. It's unique. I think there are a lot of different unique regional cultures in America. And I think you're right. It probably does have to do with who went there. I think I lived in Dallas for a little while. And at the time, there were tons of businesses moving there.
Starting point is 00:16:18 And it reminded me a lot of the German settlers who decided, well, we're just going to go to Texas and make it work because Texas is not like a naturally easy place to, I don't know, farm or anything like that. Or you see it with like Minnesota has a very serious Scandinavian influence in the culture because of the settlers that ended up there. Are you originally from, did you grow up in Florida? No, dad was in the Air Force when I was young. So we moved all over the place, but ended up living florida more than anywhere else okay let's jump to this story this is the political scandal i guess trump vp candidate christy noam reveals she shot and killed
Starting point is 00:16:54 her 14 month old trained assassin dog cricket and gunned down a goat in eye opening new book sure um i i did she did christy noome decide she just wasn't gonna do politics anymore she's just like i'm out you know this is it for me and then her advisors were like well you can't just quit people will will like they're gonna criticize you she'd be like well what if i tell everyone that i shot and killed dog a young dog at that a puppy they'll be like well there you go then people will hate you and you're you're good no i wanted to be like her advisors were like well people think because you're a woman you might be too emotional
Starting point is 00:17:26 and she's like, I can solve this by saying I murdered a puppy because he was too difficult to train. They're like, great, that'll make you sound tough. I think that actually
Starting point is 00:17:34 makes her sound emotional and unstable. It makes her sound crazy. I think she might have bad advisors. That's the first thing that I thought is like, how did this,
Starting point is 00:17:42 this is in a book that she wrote and released. Like, how did it get passed? Unless her publisher was like, we don't want to see you be VP. Definitely leave this anecdote. It's definitely a bad sign when you are that insulated where no one has the gumption just come up and tell you like, no, you're going to kill your career. Like, no, everyone is so terrified of you that they won't just come up and be like,
Starting point is 00:18:00 no, this sounds like you're a sociopath. You can't put this into a book. Like just to bring it up. I mean, I feel like you'd be like at least someone to be like yo like that's something you keep just bury that deep dark down just suppress that forever are you sure you want to put this story out like can you leave it out and will the the the book be the same and still tell the story that you're looking to tell because whoa. She tweeted about it. She said, we love animals, but tough decisions
Starting point is 00:18:28 like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years. If you want more real, honest, and politically incorrect stories that'll have the media gasping pre-order no going back. I don't think this is politically incorrect.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I killed my dog by my book. That's's so bad that's not the defense here team like first off the horses 25 years that's a long time i don't know how long horses live but like that seems like a long horse life a young puppy that you were having trouble training being like i just got frustrated like yeah there's a that's not politically incorrect that's that's crazy there was a woman who tweeted i was watching the fallout on Amazon and just stopped with the puppy murder because there's an early scene where a dog gets hurt. And then people had to immediately be like,
Starting point is 00:19:13 no, no, no, no, no, keep watching, keep watching. Like there's no puppy murders. Like, oh, okay. Like there are people who will legit be like, I'm not watching this after a dog gets killed. Yeah. It's like, I can watch an action movie and I can see all the bad guys getting thrown in front of trains or whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:28 But as soon as the dog goes down, I'm like, oh, poor taste. I played Fallout 4 and they've got the German Shepherd in there and I've got a German Shepherd myself. And it's too realistic. Every time the German Shepherd gets hurt, it sounds just like your actual dog. I couldn't play with the companion because it was too much. There is, there is like like so dogs were created by human beings right or at least we evolved together like it's not just like they're wild things that are out there and i and this is maybe i'm a little bit on the uh the the sentimental side here but
Starting point is 00:19:59 i think that human beings have a responsibility to dogs because we created them. If you, I just saw a post by Nature is Metal or whatever, this little puppy, or not puppy, but this little dog, like this little house dog, it was like a poodle, walking in the street and three coyotes came up and just tore it apart. And it's like, look, dogs are a responsibility. Like we have made dogs the way they are. Little dogs, like dogs that now, a lot of dogs aren't fit to live in the wild.
Starting point is 00:20:30 So we have a responsibility to take care of them. So like that kind of stuff, like, oh, it wasn't trained, like it wasn't snapping to it. So I just killed it. I find that really, really, really repulsive. There is a difference between like beasts of burden that we have have domesticated and on one hand and dogs which were literally a creation of man because we have picked the ones and bred them to do certain things that we have bred out
Starting point is 00:20:58 the the the feralness intentionally so i really do think we have a responsibility to well on my soapbox real quick i mean look these little dogs they're they're no longer dogs they're rodents fair if if your pet if your small mammal can be captured by a bird of prey and taken and eaten you don't have a dog anymore i'm with you yeah you know like a german shepherd ain't no bird going near that thing but a chihuahua it's just a meal for a bird. Well, and especially to your point with dogs, dogs are bred for purpose, right? So if you have a dog that is specifically a breed that is meant to hunt with you and people are really serious about this kind of stuff, like either there's two things that
Starting point is 00:21:39 can happen. Like either you're not very good at training it, which is not that dog's fault and you should rehome it. Or this dog is actually just not meant for the work you needed to not that dog's fault and you should rehome it. Yeah. Or this dog is actually just not meant for the work you needed to do, at which point you should also rehome it. Like there are, German Shepherds are a great example
Starting point is 00:21:50 or Belgian Malinois. Yeah. They do this with canine units all the time. Exactly. The police go ahead and adopt them out and if they fail the training, they don't just go shoot them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 There's not some trench that they start mowing down dogs that fail police training. You get these really great videos of like my dog like failed out of police dog school halfway through or like one that i saw was uh it's supposed to be a service dog for someone who was like maybe blind or something like that and the dog kept bringing the person shoes but just like different ones at random or like diabetic dogs that will like remember that they're supposed to bring you a snack but they don't really remember when they're
Starting point is 00:22:20 supposed to do it like it's great keep them alive you don't need to shoot them well there there was a one story i heard about uh a dog that was being trained to do like drug search but it was too excited so now it's doing search and rescue ah they're like i love he loves people let's have him find the people instead like if if the dog can't be trained to hunt just you know i guess she was saying the dog was dangerous or something i don't buy it for a second because she described it as too excited that morning which is like i don't care like it doesn't she didn't say aggressive she said excited that's very different uh and i also think that like aggressive dogs have a place too like there are people who can handle them and this person couldn't handle like that's just irresponsible outside of the dog thing again is is is she just ending her political career was that the move she doesn't
Starting point is 00:23:06 want to be vp tell they went to her and said look trump is gonna pick you and you can't say no because then his base is gonna get mad at you you need to you need to poison this right now and she's like i'll just say i killed the dog then no one will want me i don't think anyone would have gotten mad at her if she'd been like you know i'm so honored that he thought of me as vp but no thank you also i don't think that would have gotten to the point where like trump would announce that he'd asked her and she had said, no, like that's not going to be what happens. What if Trump is like, she shot a dog and it's really good.
Starting point is 00:23:30 So we're picking her. She's definitely just that isolated and checked out and insulated. There's just no way that she, you know, had any understanding of how this impacted her career. She definitely wants to be VP. I think. It reminds me of how the Bidens treat their dogs, right? Because they also have German shepherds and famous. So I had like an older one when he moved to the white house, he was okay. He passed away, but the puppies that they've had while they've been in the white house,
Starting point is 00:23:55 bite the service members by like, it's like each one has bitten like 25 different times. They've had to like reload, rehome both of them to a friend in Delaware. They would keep getting sent for like other trainings. Now, typically typically again i'm not a dog expert but like a lot of dogs will bite because they feel stressed like if you have a german shepherd that's meant to protect you if it has a high protective instinct probably being in a busy white house with men in suits is like not not it you know what i'm saying even the obama's got like what a labradoodle i mean joe biden doesn't know what room he's in. There's no way he's training a German shepherd.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And you would think he would get a professional, right? Remember when he was showering and the dog was in the bathroom with him or something? I thought that was his daughter. Well, that was a different one. Different T word. No, but he like broke his foot. And wasn't it something like he was- Like he tripped over the dog or something?
Starting point is 00:24:42 Yeah, like the dog was in the bathroom with him while he was showering for some reason. And then he got out of the bathtub and tripped. And then the dog took his towel or I don't know. Anything below waist height is a hazard for that man now. Because he can. Did you see AOC holding his hand? No. I mean, I feel like this is a political scandal.
Starting point is 00:24:59 She's walking with him and she's holding his hand as he's walking. And people are pointing this out being like, what deal are they cutting? And I'm like, no, he's going to fall. There's no, maybe there's a deal. I don't know. She's holding his hand to walk with him. She thinks he's fragile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:13 He's going to fall down. And you got to help grandpa. I mean, good for her for helping the elderly. That's a good instinct. But not so great that it's our commander in chief. Rough times. If it makes you feel better, he's not running anything.
Starting point is 00:25:27 No, that doesn't make me feel better. It just makes me feel lost. What if AOC is the shadow president? No, it's Barack Obama, if there is a shadow president. Didn't he go to London recently? Obama? Yeah. He went and met some politicians in London or something. Richie Sunak, I think,
Starting point is 00:25:44 is the prime minister of the UK now, I think. Well, yeah, Obama was seen having somebody eating in London or whatever, and people were like, what's he doing there? It's like leading the United States. What do you mean? He's just trying to smooth whatever's going on. Yeah, you were right. It was the prime minister of the UK.
Starting point is 00:25:58 He met with the prime minister. Yeah. Obama met with the prime minister of the UK. He drops in for a cup of tea with the UK prime minister. Hillary Clinton was doing that kind of stuff too. I personally don't think that there is one person in charge. I think that it's just kind of like the cabal. I don't know who has the most influence at any one given time,
Starting point is 00:26:20 but I don't think that there is one person that actually would be considered having, you know, ultimate influence or ultimate say in anything. It's definitely a committee where, you know, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are getting on the phone with people that are in the Biden administration and saying, hey, this is what we think we should do. Do you think Hillary Clinton ever looks at like Joe Biden on TV giving a speech and think they wanted this guy over me? Oh, she probably cuts the eyes out in the magazines. Yeah, 100%. No, she has the notebook where she ran into a room and opened it and wrote, Joe Biden is a fugly slut. She's not mad at Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:26:54 The Democratic burn book must be incredible. She blames Donald Trump. She has, of all the people in the world, there is no one that hates Donald Trump more than Hillary Clinton. And I'm sure that... But who does she hate second to Donald Trump? I don't know. Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I don't know. I don't know. I don't think that they didn't go with Hillary Clinton because Hillary Clinton was a dangerous choice. Like, I don't... I think that... Oh, yeah, I agree with you. I think there was like,
Starting point is 00:27:20 no way, man, you lost last time. But I don't think she likes that, you know? Of course she doesn't, but... Well, the regime wears Biden like a skin suit, right? Like he's just the most malleable thing available to them. That's why they keep him around. But what if he is just a skin suit? And it's actually like some guy named like John Rickman, who's just like wearing the skin suit.
Starting point is 00:27:38 There was a movie. And the reason why he stutters is because like the guy inside the skin suit is just like, oh, man, don't screw this up, John. Don't screw this up. It's hard for him to keep the voice going all the time yeah i don't know the ai breaks let's jump to this next story uh welcome to your brave new world bipartisan bill would create anti-semitism monitors at colleges and my response was just what the ever living is this for real a pro-israel Democrat and Republican plan to introduce legislation creating federally sanctioned anti-Semitism monitors
Starting point is 00:28:07 for select college campuses. It's the first bill introduced in Congress. It's a direct response to the pro-Palestinian protests. Alright, that's it. I'm done. You know, I just, we had mass rioting, we had fire
Starting point is 00:28:22 bombing of buildings, and now the snap to attention you get over what's happening right now i'm just gonna tell you guys the deep state screwed it up the system is falling apart okay the military industrial complex is on its last legs this is so over the top insane that you've got violations of the Civil Rights Act when it comes to gender identity stuff, women's rights, bathrooms. And then you've got the racist stuff. You've got schools in California creating white racial affinity groups for students.
Starting point is 00:28:55 You have far leftists killing people, firebombing buildings. Trump didn't do nothing. Democrats didn't do nothing. And then you get Occupy 2.0 israel boogaloo and they're trying to put anti-semitism monitors in colleges the i i think it's i think it's an op the the left the left and now they're gonna go after free speech because then they can they can go ahead and say oh look we're trying to save we're trying to you know prevent anti-semitism we're gonna go after free speech they're after free speech anyways.
Starting point is 00:29:26 They're going to use this as a... The left doesn't have to go after it. The right is going after it. Well, yeah. They're doing it for the same people who have been crying about safe spaces. And we're the champion of free speech for the last 10 years on college campuses. Now they're ready to send in the National Guard.
Starting point is 00:29:39 They watch the cities burn down. They watch the border get invaded. You can't get anyone to any of these places. There's been anti-white racism on all of these things for years. But now all of a sudden. Guys, I figured it out. Here's what we got to do. We got to go to Mexico. No, I'm out. No, no, no, no. Hear me out. You're gonna be told. Then when the migrant caravans are coming, what we have to do is give them t-shirts that say Intifada, Intifada. And then when they come
Starting point is 00:30:04 to the border, then they're going to be like, no, those people cannot come in. I'm back on board. Right. So how about we do this? We can go to like Juarez or like Mexicali, Calexico. Maybe we can go to, where was the, Tijuana.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And we'll set up Occupy camps there and make sure all of the migrants coming in know how bad Israel is. And we'll set up Occupy camps there and make sure all of the migrants coming in know how bad Israel is. And we'll make sure they know when you're coming in and the CBP agent is asking questions, just tell them you don't like Israel. And then, of course, they'll all get turned around. Yes. This is how we're going to secure the southern border. You got to make lemonade out of lemons.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You know what I'm saying? Like, look, let's put this to use. Let's be real, though. I mean, the response from government has been so insane. They have jumped the shark. This is shark jumping territory. Mike Johnson saying we're going to pull federal funding and send the National Guard if you don't stop speaking bad about Israel. Like, holy crap.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Are you guys kidding me? You've lost all credibility. I mean, we're looking at some of the Republicans being like, why can't they pull funding from these universities why can't they do these things and the republicans would be like look you know we're trying we have a slim majority it's not easy and then this happens and we're like oh you were full of it the whole time i mean it's all it's all about donations and who's got money like the the whole reason that this is happening is because there's a lot of large donors for the the for like apac and all the it's all about you know who's throwing money at the at the republicans and stuff because that's what makes dc run and that's what makes the world right one one sec one sorry i'm
Starting point is 00:31:35 gonna phone call real quick just keep talking well and that's the best part between oh wait there was sorry uh israel is great they've done nothing wrong they can only do good and the u.s should give them billions of dollars this is making the the uh anti-semites on twitter insufferable not like they weren't annoying as hell before but now they're just like see i told you the dancing israelis and crazy people just screaming this is what i'm saying they're losing all credibility like yes the the tiktok ban is very obviously this. This came about when this this anti-Israel content popped up. Donors freaked out because many of these donors are pro Israel or many of them who do military contracting have business interests. Many people with religious
Starting point is 00:32:18 interests and many and people in the United States military who have Middle Eastern conquest interests were like, OK, now we're going to crank it all the way up to 11. And now, yes, as you mentioned, the actual anti-Semites on Twitter are vomiting all over themselves, screaming. And I'm sitting here being like, well, Congress, the president, like everyone's lost all credibility on why they can't move on certain issues, because when the donors snap their fingers, they will they will literally shut down universities and mass arrest people for hate speech if they deem it so. And I just want to stress this anti-Semitism monitors. You know, they have policies barring white people and Asian people from going to these schools. I mean, it's very clear that the Republicans are just throwing this away on top of everything because this is internecine warfare in the left.
Starting point is 00:33:08 The coalition is pulling itself apart. You have the establishment that supports Israel. You have the vanguard that is very anti-colonialism, has all this kind of Black Lives Matter, pro-Palestinian. The mainstream wants to follow the vanguard, but they can't because of the way power is set up. And so what you should be doing is just standing back and watching that tear itself apart.
Starting point is 00:33:28 But of course, the Republicans want to swing in and save them from their own self-destruction. Let them riot on the school campuses. Let them burn the institutions to the ground just like they did the cities. It's fine. It's fine. Let them do it.
Starting point is 00:33:45 But it shows you what their real interests are. Yeah. The Republicans claimed they couldn't do anything about wokeness and DEI. We have a slim majority. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:33:54 We're trying. What is it? When this bill came up in the Senate with Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel funding, and TikTok ban, Rand Paul didn't even vote on it.
Starting point is 00:34:02 What was up with that? I mean, honest question. Why didn't he vote? I don't know. He didn't vote. I don't know. It's kind of, maybe it's meaningless. I feel like he wouldn't vote, like he wouldn't vote either way because he doesn't want to anger anyone by voting against it, but he doesn't actually believe in it. So there's no vote. Yeah. So you just vote, you know, present or whatever. I just feel like now the deep state is in absolute freefall. You know, look, when you operate the facade and you have the masquerade of what we can and can't do, why we can and can't do it, people will play along, right? This, I'm going to say it again, a bipartisan bill to create anti-Semitism monitors at colleges
Starting point is 00:34:44 is one of the most insane things i've ever heard greg abbott saying hate speech will not be tolerated on campus that's the most insane thing i've ever heard hate speech is is counter to everything that that the the right has been complaining about for the past decade going on at school at schools and stuff like speech codes have been the the bane of the rights existence it's been getting the right kicked off i'm sorry for talking over and stuff but it's like it's blows my mind that that this is not obvious it's because no one actually believes in free speech like that that's the hard truth here that everyone's got to swallow
Starting point is 00:35:20 it's like everyone is using it for political advantage when you're out of power you call for free speech when you're in power you pull the ladder up behind you. That's what the left did. That's what the right's doing. It's a universal thing. Well, to be fair, the Democrats and Republicans are united on do not criticize Israel. Yeah, absolutely. And the crazy thing is the conversations we've been having over the past couple of weeks are not even about Israel or Israel's actions or or or Palestine or what is or is not justified in military war and conflict. It's about the reaction of U.S. media corporations, schools and governance going absolutely. Look, I'll put it this way. people believe that you care about free speech, if you want people to believe there is there is
Starting point is 00:36:07 there is you are allowed to criticize the military actions of Israel and stuff. This is the opposite of what you do. Coming out with like we're going to send in the National Guard, we're going to pull funding, we're going to arrest all of you, and then we're going to put monitors in your schools. The Republican Republicans on this one, Mike Johnson included, are basically saying we've been on board with communism the whole time. And of course, you can't criticize Israel. So they've lost all credibility. Now it's like it's patently clear. It's like, oh, wow, it really is just about Israel. If you came out, if they came out and said something like, look,
Starting point is 00:36:37 free speech is totally allowed. Actually, Florida did something like this. They said, you're allowed to speak. You're allowed to protest. You're allowed to gather. No tents, no seizing of public property, all these things. And I'm like, right, okay, that I agree with. If they came out and said, we have no problem with people criticizing Israel. The problem we have is there's a guy over there saying he's Hamas. The problem is people are donating, saying they're giving money to Hamas. That is why we are going to take action against this.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Instead, they're like, they're anti-Semitic. So we're going to shut the whole thing down. It's like, okay, well, hold on there, man. You're either not articulating this properly or you never actually care about the speech in the first place. You're just mad they're criticizing your foreign policy. And I tend to think it's the latter, right? Like, it is ultimately about their political interests. It's not about upholding the values of the country or about upholding the tenets of free speech, in my opinion. It would also be really nice if we didn't have to deal with this, right? Like, this is not our problem.
Starting point is 00:37:28 It's our immigration policies and our obsession with involving ourselves in every foreign conflict and the reliance on the defense industry is the reason that this is happening. It would be really great if America could focus on its own problems and its own issues. And we didn't have to import every blood feud from across the world, but it looks like we have to because that's the way we've structured our policies. Not even. You know, I tweeted this.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I care as much about Palestine as I do about Burma. Yeah. I just, the obsession with it is what blows my mind. And that's the crazy thing because saying something like that, I'm called a Zionist. I just wish all of the young people rallying were actually rallying for, I don't know, a border wall or, you know, the end of the issuing of student federally backed student loans. Right. Like things that really affect their future and their lives and their nation's economy.
Starting point is 00:38:16 But instead, for whatever reason, probably because they all know the buzzwords surrounding it. You're totally right. Being taught colonists bad has made it so a generation of young students are like, oh, I know where I'm supposed to line up on this issue. So rather than using critical thinking, they're just like, well, this is what everyone's talking about, so I'm going to do it. Like, it bothers me so much that they don't care about the domestic policy, but they are willing to do, you know, crazy things for an international war that affects very few of them, ultimately. I'm of two minds on this. The first is certainly the deep state, the intelligence agencies can't be so inept that they would enact plans such as these, which result in people shifting away from supporting
Starting point is 00:38:57 Israel and genuinely believing that free speech is not being tolerated and they're violating people's rights. They can't be that stupid, can they? Unless they're actually really, really smart in the deepated and they're violating people's rights. They can't be that stupid, can they? Unless they're actually really, really smart in the deep state and they hate Israel themselves. It's the wokeness getting away. It's the vanguard pulling the mainstream away from its controlled ideology. I think that the Kool-Aid that they've been selling, they've been drinking for too long. Their activists are now deeply involved in it.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And they're demanding that the more controlled mainstream go along with them. And to be fair, I think the mainstream would rather if they could, but they can't. But do you mean like intelligence agents? Like, are there woke intelligence agents? They hate Donald Trump, they're super woke, and they hate Israel too. And things like this are meant to further subvert support for Israel. I think the ideology is leading them. I think the ideology is leading them. I think the political formula involved in creating wokeness draws them that direction. Even if they don't personally buy into it 100%, they want to move that way because that's where the political energy is.
Starting point is 00:39:55 That's where the spirit is. That's where the young people are. Like the intelligence agents? I think some of the intelligence agents would be. Not all of them. I don't think the entirety of the CIA is probably bought into this lock, sock, and barrel into i put it like this right we know what false flags are and we know why they are effective because you make a villain that you can fight against we had uh uh you know ian brought up this this uh ai translated hitler speech you know joe rogan had been talking about it and so he
Starting point is 00:40:20 played some of it and the fascinating thing was how um what's what's the right word uh dejected his speaking actually was complaining about european authority but then all of a sudden just saying and the jews like it's like very whiny it sounded to me like what he was doing was we have a general grievance on economics due to world war one and and these treaties but i can't rally anybody right now we need a scapegoat. So we're going to blame this group of people because it's easy and they can't fight back. And then once everyone's rallied together, then I can start invading other countries for other reasons. And so going back to my point about like false flags, we know why it works. You create an enemy, you can rally everybody
Starting point is 00:40:59 to go fight that enemy. This is like the inversion of that. And I'm like, is the deep state really that stupid now where they're like, hey, I got an idea. Let's let's let's propose the stupidest things in the world that make people believe that like there is no free speech. You're not allowed to criticize our foreign policy. And we are the bad guys, actually, in the US is bad. This kind of thing right there is going to actually bring like anti-semitic identitarian types aligning and
Starting point is 00:41:29 protesting with communists which like i guess has happened in some capacity but now these protests are going to attract literally anything you here's what you're going to see there's going to be genuine anti-semitic individuals and they're not going to say anything about antisemitism. They're going to be like, wow, okay, I'm not going to tell them what I really think, but I'll go down there and support them because I hate Israel too, for different reasons. And you're going to create a united front of weird political backgrounds, all just hating Israel by doing things like this. The only fault that I see in your theory is that the right that hates Israel and Jews, they cannot stop talking about it. There is no subversion at all. They're going
Starting point is 00:42:12 to tell you, they're going to tell you over and over and over. They're going to tell you at length and they're going to tell you to watch this video and they're going to keep telling you. And then you get those people uniting with like Farrakhan and the women's march organizers who all believe these things. And then all this does is actually damage support for Israel. So I'm like, then are they doing it on purpose? Like, is the deep state being like, guys, guys, we're totally done with this operation. And now we need to generate public support against Israel. There's a lot of rumors that they hate Netanyahu.
Starting point is 00:42:41 And the purpose is to leverage him out. I mean, Nancy Pelosi just called for this right right and so i so i think that that is a consensus among many people is that's that's the actual purpose but that's just that's something that is is a u.s policy like that that they're interested in it's not like uh whatever the name i forget the guy that would would replace net not yahoo the the opposition leader um anyways it's not like it's not like he has a significant different policy if i understand correctly most of israel kind of has they're kind of all on the same page they're like yo this this is you know uniting issue yeah we're gonna stomp the shit out of gaza is basically what their
Starting point is 00:43:20 their policy is all over israel like that's and i understand why they would feel like that that's what the u.s was like after 9-11. So I get it, but I don't think that this does anything for the actual situation. It's only about what the U.S. would like to see come out of it and what the U.S. wants, as in getting rid of Netanyahu. It's not like getting rid of Netanyahu would change the policy for Gaza. So it's not like getting rid of netanyahu would change the policy for gaza you know so it's not like when people are protesting israel if they think oh we're going to get rid of netanyahu
Starting point is 00:43:50 and there's going to be a change there's not going to be a change is the point that i'm making like there will be no change on the policy is going to be the policy and kids in the u.s protesting they can burn every single university down in america and israel is going to say we don't care what you guys say we're still gonna do what we're gonna do in gaza because that's just like that's state that's you know geopolitical government stuff i don't understand you know this is why look my only real conclusion if i was to look at everything holistically is there is no plan. The deep state has fallen. That's it. There's no plan. There's no beneficial outcome for foreign policy in these protests. Storming the universities and purging these protests doesn't benefit anybody. It makes it worse. The protests themselves don't actually
Starting point is 00:44:40 accomplish anything. They don't do literally anything. So it seems like this conflict that we're seeing right now is a chicken with its head cut off. I think that it's a decentralized network that really drives what you're calling the deep state and what I would wider call the total state because it goes well outside just the government apparatus. I don't think there is one central source of decision making. And so I think what you're seeing is inter is internecine warfare. You're seeing the different the different organizations and different factions bumping up against each other. And that's why it feels like there is no plan, because there's a general direction that they move. There's a general direction that the narrative and that power and their shared moral identity moves them in towards.
Starting point is 00:45:23 But I don't think it actually is like one unified plan and they're laying it all down. Like first we do the protests and then we take on Netanyahu. And then we, I don't think that's the case. So how does this resolve itself? If it's sort of inter fighting, does someone rise to the top? Who has the advantage in this? I think that what you're going to see happen is that they're the mainstream is going to go ahead and assert its control over the woke, but the woke are going to get a larger percentage of the pie. They're going to have more power inside. And this is what we usually see with the new left vanguard. They usually come in and secure larger and larger
Starting point is 00:45:54 wedges. That's why the ideology has spread in these different institutions like corporations and things. And so the people who were on the outside and were crazy and were usually gatekept outside have now been let more and more into the educational institutions, into the boardrooms, this kind of thing. And I think what you're seeing is an incremental march of the vanguard taking over the mainstream. And none of you got it. Oh, I was just saying, and is this something that as it happens on the left, is there a version of this that happens on the right? Or is it just everyone is doing it at the same time? No, you're always moving leftward. The way that we're set up right now, the right has no real institutional power, which is why even when it
Starting point is 00:46:32 wins elections, Donald Trump has no real power to change anything inside the government. He's technically president, but it's very clear that he doesn't even have the level of power that somebody like Barack Obama did, even though they're technically both working under the same article of the Constitution and maintaining power in the same office. And that's essentially because the American people would let Barack Obama get away with things that they wouldn't let, you know, President Trump. And he's got pillars of support like the mainstream media.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Well, yeah, I mean, sure. All the institutional power is lined up for Barack Obama. It's not that Barack Obama has more power. It's that he's aligned with power. He doesn't have to make everyone that's. It's that he's aligned with power. He doesn't have to make everyone that's supposed to be working for him work with him. Correct. He didn't have to convince people why it was acceptable for, or he didn't have to put significant effort into convincing the American public or the media in general, the people that
Starting point is 00:47:17 would drive a story, why it was okay for him to shoot a missile at Anwar al-Awlaki without a trial or anything, right? That he's a or anything, right? He's a terrorist. The president says he's a terrorist. That's the narrative we're going with. It's acceptable automatically. There wasn't any kind of blah, blah, blah, you know, and that is actually what's important because as much as like I'm very pro-Constitution and very pro-bill of rights and stuff, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:47:42 all of that stuff doesn't matter if the people don't stand up and say, hey, government, you're breaking the law when the government violates the law. Like, the courts will go ahead and say, well, this is one thing, and then people will go ahead and try to behave that way. But then if local enforcement comes in and says, we don't care, you know, what was it um not andrew jackson it wasn't andrew jackson that said the uh the chief justice has made his decision now let him enforce it yeah so andrew jackson proved that long time ago so i mean trump's generals literally bragged about committing treason and nobody cares yeah just don't care so there's a big deal there's
Starting point is 00:48:20 a part of the so let's let's we'll get a little specific there's a guy um let me pull up his name actually i don't have the story pulled up on the computer his name is kimani james have you heard about this thing he's one of the uh protesters he apparently was like shaking hands with ilhan omar he said that he wants to end the lives of zionists oh yes yeah i've got the video and was that was there's like a video of him saying it he's like there's no remorse and now he's getting heavily criticized was like i shouldn't have said that i didn't mean it or whatever but i think the issue is many of these organizers at these protests yeah they they actually are saying this there's one viral video or a man on the street interview a guy says uh
Starting point is 00:49:00 he's he's talking about raising funds for the victims. And then she says that she's trying to raise money for Hamas. And like, that's a very serious crime to announce that you're doing that. And then she quickly is like, I'm at Palestine, I mean. And it's like, okay, well, like, what does that mean? You know what I mean? So the question then becomes, there are a lot of people who are critical of Israel who are defending the, they're defending the protest as, no, no, no, you can't blame the protest for what some people are saying, but then it's the organizers who are saying it. So what is it? Is it organizers who are like really anti-Semitic and some of them like violently and deathly so, and then regular people just marching behind and not realizing it. And then this is what I was
Starting point is 00:49:42 saying about like the anti-Semitism monitors and all all that stuff is you're going to get people who are anti-israel standing side by side with people who are organizing protests and saying horrible things like that dude kimani james said and they're going to be like well as long as it's all anti-israel they don't care well i mean that is true to some degree As long as it's anti-Israel, they're going to accept it. But I think that as long as it's part of the leftist narrative, they can do it. I mean, this is very, very—you're seeing the—what's the word I'm looking for? It was Mark Hughes wrote the paper, The Repressive Tolerance. There you go.
Starting point is 00:50:24 That's the exact same— That's what's going on. It's like, you can, you, you can do whatever you want according to the left, just so long as it falls in line with what the left narrative is and, and where their goals align. Well, a lot of these guys are used to being able to say whatever they want. They're used to having power on their side. And so they can always say insane things about, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:41 what you should be able to do to white people and that kind of thing. So they didn't see there'd be a problem until they ran into the Israel issue. Let me pull this story up from the New York Times. Columbia Bar's student protester said Zionists don't deserve to live. After a video surfaced on social media, the student, Kimani James, said on Friday his comments were wrong. Is it just that he got banned from school? They were like, OK, you are officially banned. You can never be here again. And he's like, oh, I didn't mean it.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Like these woke leftists. Maybe this is the PSYOP, right? Maybe the PSYOP is let them say all of these horrible things until they cross the line and then get permanently banned. And now they're suffering consequences and backtracking. Or is it just that this is the line of where they say you can say all those other awful things. You can push all those other awful communist ideologies, but don't you dare say bad things about Zionism. I mean, I think that really is the case. Like they targeted a group they're not allowed to target.
Starting point is 00:51:32 They've been getting away from this for a very long time. I think it's pretty obvious. It's hard to look at the evidence and see anything else. I just Google searched this person's name and his college admissions essay was published by Medium. And it's all about systemic racism and how he's affected by it which i just i i find it's so tiresome that the left is shocked by the fact that they allowed their academic institutions to become intensely progressive and to back these ideas which they confirm by accepting students who were like,
Starting point is 00:52:09 this is my stance and by not supporting equity. And then they're like, wow, so crazy that these are happening. The students are angry. I don't believe any of the teachers don't know it. I don't even want to read this quote from this guy. He said he compared Zionists to white supremacists and Nazis. These are all the same people, the existence of them and the projects they have built, i.e. Israel's antithetical to peace. It's all antithetical to peace. And so, yes, I feel very comfortable, very comfortable. And then he goes on to say he wants them dead. This is what these universities are fomenting. I'll put it this way.
Starting point is 00:52:39 We like I'm fairly pissed off. Mike Johnson comes down to these universities and then says, we're going to pull your funding and call the National Guard. And I'm like, oh, you finally do it. But I'm also willing to be like, screw it, pull their funding. If this is the issue that finally gets their funding pulled, fine. I'll take it. Okay, this college essay he's writing about our education system is rooted in systemic
Starting point is 00:52:59 racism, and it's always been a direct cause for poor funding and political neglect of the black and brown communities to combat this we must identify the individual issues that exacerbate the inequalities and work to tear them down one by one like this person has been that's just straight deconstruction too crazy dude he said be grateful that he i'm not going to read the quote that he's not going out committing murders right this is what these universities have accepted they push extremism this is all this is all uh anti-colonialism this is all like decolonization stuff it's france fanon in the wretched of the earth or whatever he wrote is like decolonization is always violent it's fundamentally violent so And to say any of the leftist professors aren't familiar with these ideas is a flat out lie. Because they all, I'm sure everybody in the humanities has read Frantz Fanon.
Starting point is 00:53:55 They know what decolonization is. They know how the people that have come up with these theories, they know how they think. They know what's in the text. And it's not something that I'm reading with these theories. They know how they think. They know what's in the text. And it's not something that I'm reading into the text. It's articulated in the text. It is always violent. Let's get into the classical liberal conundrum that we face because we were talking about this with,
Starting point is 00:54:16 it may have been with Adam Johnson, lecturing guy, about the limits of liberalism. We all say we want free speech and that means supporting the speech of people you don't like. And I'm like, man, if we've got these protests and they're literally calling for murder, literally, there's a challenge. The left claims that people on the right are. They're not. Like, I go to a Trump rally and nobody is. They'll lie and say they are because they want to weaponize that to start banning people. At what point does classical liberalism reach its limit or liberalism,
Starting point is 00:54:51 general liberalism in general, when you have these protests and the problem is the people seeking to gain power are quite literally saying they want to go murder a bunch of people. This again, I will stress this. The left made this argument about Trump supporters because Trump supporters wanted a secure border. That was clearly a manipulation and a lie. Now you have a guy who's one of the active organizers shaking hands with Ilhan Omar, who is, he looks like one of the guys from the videos who was trying to remove people from the camp. And he's saying, be grateful he's not going out and just committing these acts, at what point do we actually say, okay, this protest is actually crossing the line and needs to be shut down? Because like,
Starting point is 00:55:38 if like, where's the line? How do we call that? James Burnham said that liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide, because it eliminates the ability of a culture to defend itself, to prefer itself to others, and to say that there are lines that simply cannot be crossed. There's no way in which you can allow people to say certain things that will absolutely destroy your culture. And I think the fact that this line is being drawn here is a problem. It should have been drawn much earlier. Again, these same activists have been talking about colonization and the destruction of the West and the importance of banning white people, people of European descent from their campuses for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:56:10 This line should have been crossed a very long time ago. So I'm not a fan of the line suddenly appearing. But to be fair, as long as you're going to put tanks in Harvard Yard, that's fine. But what you're saying, we should shut these protests down. I'm saying that obviously any violence in these protests was always unacceptable. So what he's saying here should be unacceptable. But the problem is the left doesn't have any way
Starting point is 00:56:32 to understand when that actually gets tripped over because their entire ideology is that violent revolution is part of the solution, right? So here's what I don't like. I don't like that we have had this same ideology. There have been, since Occupy Wall Street, people at these universities,omenting communism is bad. If Mike Johnson is now saying this is the reason that we pull their funding, I'm like, well, we've wanted their funding pulled for a long time. So I will accept that this is your reason finally reaching that point because it's good. But my thought and where
Starting point is 00:57:20 I'm hitting this wall is like, you know, Greg Abbott said it's anti-Semitic and we all we all mock him for being like, dude, you can't shut people down for hate speech. But then you see the degree to which these people are actively trying to trying to or encouraging violence. And then I'm kind of just like. Do we eventually get forced into that point where to that point that the left has actually bragged about the Karl Karl Popper mean, that they have become so violent and intolerant, they firebombed buildings, they took over street corners, that eventually we just say, okay, liberalism is for the liberal and you aren't liberal. So now we're going to bring in the National Guard and the police to secure the campus. So I am sympathetic to the idea that liberalism is an internally working system, right? Like it only works for liberals. So if you're an illiberal person and you are saying look we are going to use the state to clamp down on you for whatever whatever it is
Starting point is 00:58:12 like if that's their if their goal or if they're going to be subversive right liberals the one of the the features of liberalism is you take the the that you're interacting with, you take them at their word. The point is, I'm going to assume that you're telling the truth, right? So the liberal starts at a deficit, starts in a vulnerable position because you're assuming good intentions of the person that you're dealing with. If you're not a liberal, right, if you don't have that worldview, if you're a postmodernist or you have any type of authoritarian opinion or a philosophy or whatever um then you know dealing with liberals all you have to do is just lie to them and it's it's as simple as that here's the here's the issue i take the left made these arguments about white supremacy and all that stuff and they were like
Starting point is 00:58:59 you know if you're a white if you if you believe in scheduling and meritocracy you're white supremacist and these people that's insane right they say you're racist if you don't believe in scheduling and meritocracy, you're a white supremacist. And these people, that's insane, right? They say you're racist if you don't believe in our communist ideas and stuff like this. The issue I take is that same ideology falls onto the word Zionism. And we've talked about this. I've been called a Zionist simply for saying that Israel is a country. There are many people who believe it's not.
Starting point is 00:59:28 They believe it's a colonial move and that it's actually Palestine with a fake name slapped on it. And wasn't it like China or something that removed Israel? What country removed Israel from the map or something like that? That was a while ago. And so now when this guy says that he doesn't think Zionists should live and he's a leftist and we know leftists play word games and we know leftists think that the word racist means anyone who disagrees with me. My is are these people getting to the point where what they're really saying is if you whether you support israel or not whether you where you whether you think they should be funded because i'm of the america first opinion like i don't know why we're funding all this stuff i don't see good reason to do it we should be securing our border and fixing jobs and all that but simply by acknowledging its existence people call me a zionist do i fall
Starting point is 01:00:05 into his camp i would i would i would say 100 yes everybody that like it was the same thing when they were talking about uh ben shapiro's a nazi and punch a nazi's acceptable it is it is accuracy is not the point when it comes to the left's use of language they're not using language to be to articulate accurately the reality that we all exist in because they don't believe that we all share a reality. They believe that everybody's reality is subjective. So words, because they don't represent actual reality, words are used to impart emotion and to get effect. And so if they can say, oh, you're a Nazi, then that justifies violence. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:45 You can see that in the statement that the student put out. He says, you know, far right agitators went through my months of social media history. Yeah, far right agitators, which is anyone to my right. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Mentions I'm visibly queer and black and that's why they're targeting me. Like, and then it goes on to say, you know, I misspoke and I'm sad that this is distracting from what's going on in Gaza. I mean, like there are clear buzzwords are meant to be like, well, now you have to realign say you know i misspoke and i'm sad that this is distracting from what's going on and god's i mean like there are clear buzzwords are meant to be like well now you have to realign to my position
Starting point is 01:01:10 so i can distance myself from that and talk to you about why i am the victim in this scenario mass communication and persuasion are never about accuracy they're always about emotion they're always about creating a friend and enemy distinction and thinking that being the best arguer the best debater is what actually wins you public opinion is a failure to understand the dynamic entirely. No, the Ben Shapiro dunking things of 10 years ago, the reason why they were good is because people laughed. It was the emotional reaction that people liked about him.
Starting point is 01:01:36 It wasn't that the arguments were pretty, well, maybe the arguments were good, but that wasn't the point of them. The point was to get the emotional, to get the chuckle out. Real quick, someone's super ch the emotional, to get the chocolate. Someone super chatted saying, this is the guy who yelled, I'm bored, and pushed the people out of the campus. The reason,
Starting point is 01:01:52 allegedly, was that one of the guys, it was a guy wearing a Star of David, and so he saw it and said, you're a Zionist, and started yelling at him, and then called for help to get rid of the Zionists. I don't know if there's anything else beyond that, but I really do feel like those of us, we already mentioned this,
Starting point is 01:02:10 but liberalism is for liberals. And my attitude on free speech shifted quite a bit. Because I used to be, I think it's rather naive too. Like, you know, I believe in free speech, even if someone is saying bad things. And then what do we learn? When it came to issues of leftists being censored, everyone on the right and all the free speech people would be like, no, you can't do that. Come on. We're for free speech. And they would go,
Starting point is 01:02:31 thank you guys so much. And then they would start flagging you and trying to get you banned. And I'd be like, wait, wait, I just helped you. And you immediately turned on me. And for me, there was a formative moment where I met an activist that I had known for a long time, Occupy Wall Street. And he was a free speech guy, an internet guy. And then I was talking to him and he's a hardcore leftist right now, commie. And he was like, he was like, I love the censorship. I'm glad it's happening. This is a great move in the right direction. And I was like, what are you talking about? I was like, you're the guy who was leading the charge on free speech. And he laughed and he's like,
Starting point is 01:03:01 he's like, yeah, for me me and then i was like so those of us who actually believed in the in the idea of people spreading being free speech you you never agree with us and he and he and he chuckled and he was just like you guys are useful idiots we were demanding the right to say the things we wanted to say and you marched alongside us and now that we have that power we will shut you up yeah and i was I was just like, wow. He said to my face, a guy I've known for a long time, he was like, don't you understand what we're trying to do? And so now my idea then became, okay, if you don't agree with free speech, I don't give it to you. If someone comes to me and says, I believe in free speech for everybody, you know, even if I don't agree with them, I'll say,
Starting point is 01:03:40 okay, then when you get censored, I will, I will stand with you. If you stand with me, the left to say, we don't believe in free speech. I'd say, okay, then I won't defend you. You, you get what you ask for. Now we have these people who want violence and don't want people on the right to be able to protest. They want the universities to fund their psychotic ideologies. And I'm like, should we, should we bestow upon them the rules they have asked for, which would be if a bunch of Trump supporters show up on campus to protest, they would demand these people are cracked over the head with a truncheon. Should we then be like, OK, well, then Greg Abbott should arrest and remove the
Starting point is 01:04:14 protesters trying to take over campus. And these people at Columbia should be removed because it's what they literally ask for in governance. This is why the meme communists always lie is a meme because they use words not to represent reality, but to move an argument. And that means they just have to convince people. Like when people made jokes about Jordan Peterson talking about postmodern Marxist and stuff out there, not that they don't work together and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But the postmodernist part is they're only going to use, they're only going to, they're going to select arguments, not based on their, their representation of reality, but based on their effectiveness. And if they can make an argument that persuades people, it doesn't matter if it, if, if, if it's true or if anyone believes it's true, it persuades people, they'll throw that argument away and make the opposing argument later. And you see this over and over and over in when,
Starting point is 01:05:05 when you end up listening to a lot of these leftists talk, this is par for the course for the philosophy that they have. And I, I mean, I'm, I kind of make the argument all the time that what we're dealing with is people that are struggling with philosophy because the, the old philosophies that we kind of had have,
Starting point is 01:05:22 have come under significant stress and they're being tested or if they're, if they're fit for the 21st century. The question is, should we, the, the, the communists who want the power of government who cheer, the black lives matter protesters say,
Starting point is 01:05:37 defund the police, but then the police show up to a guy's house in Milwaukee and arrest him and they cheer and celebrate for it. They, they clearly don't actually, they, they don't want to defund the police. They want the police to do what they want them to do.
Starting point is 01:05:47 So that is the only thing we can do is to actually be like, don't allow leftists to protest. Well, I mean, you can allow them to protest, just don't allow them. I suppose you just have to say, look, we can't allow anyone to violate the law. I mean, you have to.
Starting point is 01:06:11 The point I'm making is if this guy and his friends come out and say Trump supporters should be allowed to hold rallies, the police should stop it because they're violent white supremacists. I say, oh, you think violent supremacists should not be allowed to hold rallies? Okay, cops, kick them out. The government, they literally asked for it. They said, this is how we want to be. Golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you say the right can't rally or protest, and this is where I'm at. Look, Antifa shows up to Gavin McInnes' speech. They attack. They threaten people. They throw things at people. It's the Proud Boys who go to jail for it. Trump supporters had, it wasn't even Trump supporters.
Starting point is 01:06:51 It was anti-censorship activists in D.C. held a rally. Antifa shows up and starts fighting them. A handful of guys show up in front of a hospital protesting mask mandates. Antifa shows up and starts beating the crap out of them. In the U.K., you can't even pray silently outside of. Right. So my attitude becomes, why would they be mad if they get the government they asked for? Look, liberalism cannot solve this problem. And the reason it can't solve it is very simple. It's designed only to resolve problems with people who share very similar worldviews. It
Starting point is 01:07:16 cannot resolve problems with people who have radically different worldviews. You cannot reach a consensus through logic or discussion unless you share a similar version of reality, a similar version of what the world should look like. When it's radically separated, it does not work. So what is... Real quick, the fear is if we say, fine, Greg Abbott, send in the troops. We agree. Don't let them protest then then we we effectively uh sign off on the government doing it to us when we do protest and that's the fear that the government's going to do it to us so then so then is the attitude like well we're in it let her let her rip new york nypd go in and get the get the protesters out i don't think again because of
Starting point is 01:08:02 this specific issue and because of where they've drawn the line here, I have a general problem with the way that this is finally being reacted to. But the wider question of how this gets resolved is that you are never going to have a situation where you can just be like, oh, well, we can't do that because the other side will do it to us. They're already doing that. They're already doing all the things that you're scared of. That's my point of Antifa showing up and beating people. It's like for a decade now, I have been watching these protests within, I should say, for a decade with eight years active involvement going down to like Berkeley. I went to Berkeley before they were going to do some rally. It's like two days before.
Starting point is 01:08:37 And in this park, they have set up ledges you can skateboard on. And I'm hanging out there. And these guys threatened me simply because they had heard of who I was and I wasn't on their side. Regular, just like, it's an empty park. There was no rally. And they're threatening me. And then one guy, an older guy, intervenes and is like, leave him alone. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Like, guys, don't bring this here. We're trying to skate. And I'm like, that's crazy. The next day, far leftists show up and literally threw explosives at old people. In one of my videos on my, which is now the Culture War channel, youtube.com slash Timcast, I had a video where it's like some 60-year-old woman waving a little flag. They were throwing M-80s. They were making makeshift explosives.
Starting point is 01:09:17 And so I'm like, the worst thing that's happening to them is the police are saying, you can't sleep here. It's time to go home. And still, we keep finding ourselves in this position where we're like, let's defend the left and allow them to protest. I'm kind of at the point where I'm just like, you're right. They've been doing it to us for a decade. It's already happening.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I'm not going to shed a tear over the cops going in and telling them you can't sleep in the park anymore. I mean, so no, you go. So you brought, you brought your book total state. What is it that you think is the solution? Because I know we were talking a little bit beforehand about local stuff and things you can do for your community and stuff. Those things are not applicable to the federal government. And regardless of those things, you're still going to have attempts at consolidation of federal power by the left.
Starting point is 01:10:08 So what would you consider would be the solution or the proper course of action now? Obviously, we're skipping to the end of a very long argument. Sure, sure, sure. But yeah, I don't think this problem is resolvable at the federal level. I don't think that we have the level of national unity or shared values or understanding or vision in order to actually affect a national solution. Are you a national divorce guy? I think that we're already seeing a natural separation. I think that places like Florida are already creating a scenario where they are defying the government. Ron DeSantis just said,
Starting point is 01:10:43 we're not going to enforce any of Joe Biden's new, you know, trans Title IX stuff. That's going to get more and more of a thing. Greg Abbott fighting back a little bit against the border stuff. You know, you're going to see more and more of this. And as the states that are more competent tell the government no more and more often, more people are going to want to move there. And then you have a problem where like, okay, now the federal government has a put up or shut up moment, right? Where like, your sovereignty gets checked. Are you really going to force these competent governors who are making the lives better in their places to go ahead and bend to your will so that their lives
Starting point is 01:11:17 become worse? Are you really going to send the National Guard? Are you going to send the army? I doubt that they would. Okay, so hypothetical though, right? You're saying that because essentially we're going right up to the line of national divorce, right? I imagine that should the United States get to the point where that was a serious consideration. And that was something that like everybody was talking about. And it was something that the international community started taking seriously.
Starting point is 01:11:47 I think the international community moves. What do you think about that? And what do you think about, what do you think that would do? What do you think China would do? Because it's also my inclination or my gut instinct or feeling is that China doesn't just stay on their side of the planet. I don't think that they are looking to have the same kind of hegemony that the United States and the West has, but I do think that their goals might change
Starting point is 01:12:19 if the United States were to become multiple states. To be clear, I don't think there's going to be any kind of formal secession. I think that that question was answered, however you feel about that in the 1860s. And so I think what is far more likely to happen is what happens to a lot of empires, where the territories simply become more autonomous until the central government just kind of loses its sphere of control. And you're right that that would shift things. I think we're already moving to a multipolar world. I think that many world powers already see that the United States is losing its ability to project power long term. And they're
Starting point is 01:12:53 already thinking about what the world looks like after that. I think that in the battle between Francis Fukuyama's end of history model and more of the clash of civilizations model, the clash of civilizations model is correct. And you're more likely to see places like Russia and China assert a regional control rather than suddenly try to take over the world in the way that many neocons pretend that Putin would. And so I think that's probably what you would see in an international response. What's your fear going forward? Like if we're about to head into an election year, what do you think is the worst thing that could happen to us right now?
Starting point is 01:13:28 I think that the what is what's going to be really interesting is if Trump has an overwhelming lead to the point where the kind of total state cannot fix it this time, they can't put their thumb on the scale enough credibly to push the election one way or another. And then Trump gets elected and the left completely chimps. They completely buy into their own Kool-Aid and they go nuts because they really have just convinced themselves that he's orange Hitler. And then we see widespread violence on an even larger than BLM scale with organized violent protests across the country. This is what I was saying. I feel like the deep state just totally lost control,
Starting point is 01:14:02 right? Unless their goal, unless the goal is the destruction of the United States. I think that they care more about their power than they care about the United States. So I don't think their goal is the destruction of the United States. I just don't think they can imagine the United States as an entity that they could actually take care of. The left's goal overall is the destruction of the United States, I think. Just because they want to see, like, they would like to see communism, you know? I wouldn't put it that way because I think that's projecting
Starting point is 01:14:28 like a maniacal nature onto your enemy that's incorrect. I think that they don't see this. They want the revolution to happen. Yeah, they think it's the salvation of the United States because the United States is at its core really an evil and racist thing. And its deconstruction is the real value.
Starting point is 01:14:42 So I don't think it's so much that they want the destruction of the United States. They want to remake it. You have to understand the left is a coalition of people who is the real value. So I don't think it's so much that they want the destruction of the United States. They want to remake it. You have to understand the left is a coalition of people who hate the chuds. Their entire coalition is motivated by the idea that they hate white middle America and they have the authority to rule over them. They want to punish these people. That's what holds the coalition together. And as long as they can keep people focused on hating that group, that's what allows them to stay in power.
Starting point is 01:15:05 It's vengeance as a motivator. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, that was like a quiet, unspoken thing, I think, for a long time. But now it's become with the ascension. I don't think it's unspoken anymore. No, no. They're writing books about it yeah now that now you have like books like white fragility and stuff like that with the whole
Starting point is 01:15:27 intersectional stuff taking uh taking precedence in in the humanities and essentially the overall left i think that it's it's fairly open now you know so what what um stems the tide of you know increasing tension and potential violence is there anything anyone could do to change it or is it an inevitable path that we're walking on? I think the good news is that the left is falling apart in the sense that they just have really reduced human capital. They're just getting really bad at this, as Tim keeps pointing out. And so their ability to maintain the state as they have it now is collapsing.
Starting point is 01:16:02 And so I think eventually that just wears down to the point where more competent people and more stable social structures arise. But I don't think there's any short term where this gets really good. What does it look like under Donald Trump's administration? I mean, Biden seems to be in disarray. But Trump says, I'm very pro Israel, the most prorael president. And reportedly, Trump worked with the Republican leadership on the Ukraine-Taiwan-Israel funding. Yeah, I don't think there's a significant change, though. To be fair, the real question is, does Donald Trump even hold power when he moves back in? Like we said, he was barely president
Starting point is 01:16:37 during his time last time. The whole idea of the 2025 initiative is to actually replace large amounts of the deep state, to actually roll out and remove large chunks of the 2025 initiative is to actually replace large amounts of the deep state to actually roll out and remove large chunks of the managerial bureaucracy so that he actually can wield power as the president. If he could do that effectively, then we might see a real policy change. But I don't think Donald Trump is a really ideological animal. I think he's pretty much instinctual. And so he'll go where his advisors and he thinks the crowd is moving. Who's running his who's running the show there now? Do you does anyone know for his campaign yeah who's running his campaign well someone super chatted this they said uh michael mouse ran a poll which political party you think will swap
Starting point is 01:17:13 out their candidate and he said he thought the gop that the gop is going to say trump's not the guy i think the base would hate that they already had that option and they didn't take it. If I mean, I'm not saying he's right. I'm just saying it doesn't seem like there is something like who is running the Trump campaign. I have no idea. Is it Cash? Cash Patel? I don't know. I can just tell you that I personally felt like Trump's major move was to go to SCOTUS during the oral arguments and to make a statement to the press that the arguments made
Starting point is 01:17:45 here today will shape this country. And they even said it during the arguments will shape this country for, for generations to come. And it matters more that I stand up for America than worry about whether a job judge wants to hold me in contempt. If he does so be it, but I will always be there for, for America, even if it means risking my personal safety. That was the play. He's just doing nothing. He's like, I've been sitting here for eight days. I'm not campaigning. Like nothing's going on. I don't know who's his VP. Where, where are we at? Like, what's the plan with Trump? Yeah. I mean, it's interesting because we aren't still in the primaries anymore because that's just sort of over. I mean, you wouldn't normally get a VP announcement for another month or so.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I mean, early would be like, I think may uh and so he's not off on any timeline but because we know what the matchup is things feel strange right i think good no good well i think part of the reason why he doesn't i i heard that he scheduled a um a rally in uh next week and as soon as the the schedule went they're like oh well you got to do something yeah you got to there's a hearing and so he can't you know the they're they're like, oh, well, you got to do something. You got to, there's a hearing. And so he can't, you know, they're actively preventing him from campaigning. So I suppose, he also mentioned he wants to do a Madison Square Garden rally, which would be great. Amazing, amazing.
Starting point is 01:18:54 You know, if he does that, what, like, I hope it's a weekend because I would absolutely make some phone calls and be like, I must attend Madison Square Garden. Wow. Trump rallying at Madison Square Garden during a rematch election. You're like, incredible. Nothing like it. I'd be a little bit worried about security in New York City for that reason, maybe in and out. But yeah, that would that be absolutely amazing. But the issue with them saying like, oh, Trump, you're gonna do a rally now. Well, I got to be in court. It's this is the crazy thing.
Starting point is 01:19:23 More and more that this case goes on, more and more that there's literally nothing there. It was, you know, on Fox earlier, they said that when they announced this criminal, the underlying criminal case is essentially that it's a state law about interfering with an election by manipulating information to help someone get elected or whatever. One of the one of the commentators said, then the defense should have stood up immediately and said, motion to dismiss. That law applies only to the state, not to federal elections. This is federal jurisdiction. They didn't even do that.
Starting point is 01:19:56 It's a misdemeanor crime beyond its statute of limitations that the witnesses already said Trump had no idea what was going on. They upgraded it to a felony, which doesn't exist in statutory law. Now they're claiming a state level crime. There's the crazy thing with what's going on in New York is that it really does seem like a Jackson Pollock painting of criminal trials. They're just every day like, no, it's actually this thing. They're like, can we can we get you on this charge?
Starting point is 01:20:21 Can we arrest you for this? I think you did that. Why is Trump being like, OK, it does not impress me that Donald Trump is like, I've been here for eight days. Why are they making me do this? Because they're cracking the leash and you're saying, okay. And then I've had people say, what's he supposed to do? It's the law.
Starting point is 01:20:36 It's not the law. There's no law here. When I was between culture war this morning and the show, I went by the grocery store and I was checking out and the cash register next to me, the girl was checking out some guy and she's like, talk about whatever. And she goes, you know, I know we did some stuff wrong, but my life was a lot better under Trump. I mean, I think even by having to go to this ridiculous trial that people know that like it's obviously being it's being used to keep him off the campaign trail so that a media
Starting point is 01:21:03 talking head can say, and he's not even campaigning. Like, I actually really think it makes him. Are they saying that? Yeah. This is something that I hear all the time, especially on MSNBC. They're like, well, Joe Biden was out on the campaign trail. And where was Trump in court? And I think it does make him sympathetic to people on top of the fact that, like, economically,
Starting point is 01:21:18 they were better off under Trump. And so they start to be like, please just let him come back out. Like, things were OK then? Did you see the rain hoax? They said Donald Trump canceled his rally due to rain. And then all these journalists started posting photos of Joe Biden in the rain. And like, here's Joe Biden giving a speech through a storm. And the news headline was actually rain, uh, sudden rain stops Joe Biden's speech and he immediately shuts it down. So what they did was like Biden speaking, it starts raining and then he immediately runs off stage. But they show the pictures of him speaking as the
Starting point is 01:21:48 rain was coming down. And they're like, look, he he didn't shut down the way Trump did, but he did. Yeah. In fact, in some ways, like if you're a person who's trying to go to Trump rally, like maybe it's nicer to not have to be dragged out in the rain just to like have it canceled immediately. Joe Biden's like, come give me this photo op supporters. This is what I need you for the headlines. I'm not going to pretend like I know what the Trump campaign strategy is. So from the outside, these are the things that I can say. For all I know, behind the scenes, you've got cash and you've got. We should get Stephen Chung, the communication director. Right. That'd be so cool. And they're probably sitting there shaking their head being like, if only you knew a real plan, which I hope I certainly hope.
Starting point is 01:22:23 And I think the most important thing is I'm not actually sure in the long run that the criminal trial matters at all. Elections are not about winning an argument. It doesn't matter if Trump convinces anybody. It doesn't matter if Trump plays the victim. It doesn't matter if he's he's he's a figurative martyr in the criminal justice system because they're they're going after him. All that matters is the Republicans figure out how to collect as many pieces of paper with with names on them as possible that in 2020 the republicans won the argument and they keep winning the argument and republicans are shocked as to why they're not controlling more government and it's because democrats are like dude we don't elections aren't about arguments elections are about who has the most piece of papers with
Starting point is 01:23:02 someone's name on it that's it it. That's all that matters. So I hope the Republicans have that plan, that whatever is actually going on. Maybe the reason Trump is going on, oh, no, look, they've got me, is because Democrats are being misdirected with whatever this trial is, while the Republicans, I swear, I hope they're doing this. Who replaced Rona McDaniel? I don't know who did it. He was the head of the RNCc in north carolina i can't remember but he he's a big trump supporter and then obviously lara trump is the co-chair let me
Starting point is 01:23:31 look up his name really quickly i'm just hoping that they're actually behind the scenes being like let them be distracted with the criminal trial while we work the ballot harvesting angle but i mean the problem is that the republicans are already just chasing that dragon right the left set the agenda they remade the way that the elections run. And now at best, the GOP could catch up if they're really ambitious. That's really the issue where they're at. So you have to be in a situation where Trump is winning by an overwhelming majority if you're going to actually overcome the machine the Democrats have built.
Starting point is 01:23:59 That's Michael Waltley, just in case anyone wanted that name. The Republicans just don't have like, as much much as Karl Rove gets a lot of crap, he was a really good strategist. And the Republicans were winning with Karl Rove doing the strategy for a reason. And Steve Bannon seemed like he had a pretty good idea of what was going on. I don't think that it was as in-depth
Starting point is 01:24:22 of a political strategy as Karl Rove. It's interesting you're mentioning Karl Rove because The Hill has an article up that he's saying uh a biden trump debate would be the biggest or it would be the most important one since the 1980s yeah i mean it has to happen um but he had a he had a strategy that was like for the whole country and stuff like that and i think it was the hundred something strategy i forget what it's called a friend i was talking a friend of mine brought it up to me but like the republicans don't have like rona mcdaniel was totally you know an absentee like the fact that she managed to stay that long was just i i and initially she had trump support right like which is like god they're so dumb they're so stupid it's so but like you almost start to
Starting point is 01:25:02 suspect that trump isn't a professional politician well really never like that really never expected to win the presidency and had no plan no i mean it's really strange like of course donald trump doesn't know what he's doing of course he has no plan here guys like that's who trump is that's why you bought into him in the first place do you think he benefited then from losing 2020 like he's had time to be away from white house reflect and then go back and deal with it with both like we don't know vengeance and experience we can't answer that because we don't know who's on his team he's asking for an as a guest though come on my apologies i mean i i that would be nice like he better like he better come back to the presidency if he manages
Starting point is 01:25:39 to win it like solo with a list of prescriptions because it's very clear what time it is it's very clear what the democrats did to him and it's very clear that losing the election is something that basically gets him thrown in jail at this point. That's a scary thing, but that's where we are in America. Stakes are incredibly high for him at this point. And, you know, the, the, they pointed this out during the Supreme court arguments that, you know, if you go after presidents like this, they will be motivated to stay in office. This is a lesson. And the left is like, oh, that's crazy. How could you say it? Well, you just look at history.
Starting point is 01:26:08 This is what happened to Julius Caesar, right? Caesar doesn't become Caesar until they force him to, until he has to go ahead and rebel. He has to cross the Rubicon because if he doesn't, he gets destroyed. He goes to jail. His enemies have painted him into the corner. Trump is kind of in that scenario. You're saying Trump is Caesar? No, sadly, but what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:26:26 is that he is in a similar situation this is what forges men into that position this is the world historical forces that create that kind of situation I don't think Trump's the guy World historical forces But I don't think Trump's that guy
Starting point is 01:26:40 I don't think so at the moment It could be on the horizon but I don't think we're there but and also it's like like he like he said it's like the it's not like it's not like you know there is a guy like it a lot of times it's like the situation helps create the person you know it's like baron i mean maybe you know he's watching he's waiting he's very tall he's looming over everything we're 17 years away but you know he's gonna when's his birthday can someone look up
Starting point is 01:27:11 Barron Trump's birthday I got it this one matters when does he turn 35 exactly but he can campaign before he's 35 if he wants to be the youngest president ever his birthday is hold on I'm having trouble finding it. Wednesday, March 20th, so he just turned 18.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Okay. So it's not going to be... I have to check the presidential cycle, but so I don't know. He'd probably have to be like 36 or something. Well, you have Melania get elected, and he rules in a regency. Like she holds it in his back.
Starting point is 01:27:47 A regency. Until he can become old enough to assume the throne. She wasn't born here, unfortunately. I mean, I'm sure that could be fixed. With an exception for her. Right. You're going to end up with someone worse if you do that, though. Like someone, it'll be someone terrible.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Worse than what? So he wouldn't be old enough to run for presidency until 2041. Right. And that, right. So that means to run for presidency until 2041. Right. And that means he's going to miss 2040. And so that means 2044. But that'll put him at, what, he'll be 39 then?
Starting point is 01:28:14 He'll still be young. He'll be good. But I'm just imagining him, you know, he's running, smiles, he's 6'8", or whatever he is. And then behind the scenes he's just like, I remember what they did to my father. Yeah, he travels to Mexico, raises an army, returns back to the head
Starting point is 01:28:28 to a ninja's father. He crosses the Rio Grande. Don't you cross! Yeah. At Eagle Pass. At Eagle Pass, yeah. The fighting 13th with Baron Trump, yeah. Look, it'd be great.
Starting point is 01:28:39 And then after he loses, he crawls into his time machine and comes back to the 80s where he assumes the identity Steve Bannon and begins working towards helping his father win. Deep lore. Deep lore. That is my favorite fake conspiracy theory that
Starting point is 01:28:55 Steve Bannon is Barron Trump from the future. Oh, man. He's like he's got much shorter. When you come back you get shorter? Is that what happens? When you get older you shrink. The plot of what? Is that what happens? Well, this was the plot of Bodies. Well, when you get older, you shrink. The plot of what? Bodies. There's a Netflix show where the guy sends himself from the future to the past to plan
Starting point is 01:29:12 his own presidency, become his own father. Really? Yeah. It wasn't a great show, but that was the plot. But now we have to watch it, so we have some historical context going forward. Well, I've written it for you, so enjoy it. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:29:24 It's hard to know exactly where we end up, but I can say that the Rubicon's already been crossed, and it was Democrats who did it. The New York criminal trial is, that's it. Look, we know that when they go up to Trump over the records, the documents, and the national security stuff, they're playing fast and loose.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Joe Biden had these documents. I'm like, well, you know, it's fine. Hillary Clinton destroyed, had her server wiped, and the phones were smashed by her staff. Bill Clinton socked your story, all that stuff. But Trump, his is special. And we go, oh, it's two-tier justice. That is already dancing on the Rubicon. But then you get the New York trial where it's no statute, no precedents, no justification in legislation.
Starting point is 01:30:06 And they're literally just like Trump come here or else. And he's like, okay, I guess that's it. That's the Rubicon. The Rubicon is Democrats saying we have no legal jurisdiction to do this, but we hereby decree anyway. I do think that Trump should call them on, like he should call them on their bluff and be like, all right, look, if you're going to put me in jail, do it. Even, even Alex Berenson said Trump should call him out and be like, I'm not, I'm no longer entertaining this, this game. Yeah. Like he was straight up should, because I mean,
Starting point is 01:30:34 the amount of press that that's going to get. And I really like, it seems to be that the American people are not super pumped about the way Trump's being treated. Even people that don't really, you know, like Trump or like, hey, this is kind of, you know, off. So it's only it seems like it'll only make people more or make more people sympathetic. Well, and all I can think, you know, hypothetically, maybe by going to the trial or doing any of this stuff is is an attempt to win people who are on the fence, maybe a moderate voter who's like, well, I heard Trump was crazy
Starting point is 01:31:04 and he's not going to do whatever and he's going to abuse the system. And in this way, he is being abused by the system. He is not the one resisting, which could make him sort of less threatening to people who have always heard Orange Man bad. But maybe there's a really funny tweet where it's that Emory professor getting arrested and she's like, I'm a professor. And the cops like, put your hands behind your back. She's like, no. And she's like, I'm a professor. And the cop's like, put your hands behind your back. She's like, no. And she resists. But some lefty was like, we all complained that we thought Donald Trump would be the guy to do this to us, but it's the guy we voted for.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Yeah. I'm like, well, you know, there you go. And he's taking away TikTok. So how are you doing, Zoomers? Yeah, wow. Biden has just been real. Gen Z must be livid. I mean, is this going to secure it for Trump?
Starting point is 01:31:44 In fact, like Gen Z is going to go Republican because, well, no, not really. The Republicans are, they're all on board with it. Maybe Gen Z just disenfranchised and says, we don't care for any of you guys. I think there's a little of both. I mean, do you want to? I was just going to say that you rarely see a large youth vote anyway. So I don't think that's really the swing demographic one way or the other. I do think that Democrats for at least a long time, have advertised themselves like,
Starting point is 01:32:07 we're the young people's party. Young people vote for us. And there is some truth to that. But it's hard for me to imagine, you know, if you're in high school right now, if you're in early college, if you're, you know, let's say 20 to 24, that this is how you want to start your adulthood. You know, everyone's addicted to TikTok. It's going away. No one can buy a house. Everything is expensive. Maybe Joe Biden will cancel his student loan debts. Maybe not. It's like this is not an inspiring person to rally around. He doesn't seem to be doing any favors. So this is how you solve the young voter problem for the GOP. And this is also how you solve the college problem. You go ahead and seize the endowments of the colleges. You use the endowments to pay
Starting point is 01:32:45 off the student loans. So you're doing student loan forgiveness, but you're not forcing the average person who didn't go to college and isn't voting Democrat to pay it off. You go ahead and get rid of any of the federal backing of this. You go ahead and make student loans bankruptable. And you go ahead and get rid of the disparate impact part of civil rights laws so that people can go ahead and hire people without a college degree. You can just go ahead and give them a simple aptitude test and you don't have to get any of this insane credentialism that's tied to the left wing machine. That way you're buying off the young vote. You're giving them a reason to go ahead and get out from under college debt. You're removing them from the slavery attached to these institutions and you're defunding something
Starting point is 01:33:26 that is destroying your culture simultaneously. I think these are great points. Seize the endowments. Seize them. That's why I was saying like, if they're really gonna pull federal funding from these universities, I'll just say, sure.
Starting point is 01:33:36 If this is the issue that gets you there, I'm down. Shut them all down. It is hard to be like, I want this, but this is what motivated you guys like come on team can't you just see that this is a terrible system that you have been subsidizing it for years and years and years and they're like no not until we think it'll affect our
Starting point is 01:33:54 foreign policy position and how we rate among voters man the bad thing is if this if this is the thing that actually gets them to change and stuff, it's not actually the principle of the situation that's making them change. It's outside pressure from lobbies and stuff like that. It's not that like, you know, it's not about. It's not that they saw the light and see what's wrong. I have bad news for you. Principle never changes their mind and outside pressure. Don't tell us.
Starting point is 01:34:22 It's like telling him Santa's not real. I know. Come on. Well, I mean, the point is like we all are going to either, we are either going to attempt to play by the same game or it's going to break down.
Starting point is 01:34:35 It's going to break down. And there's going to be, well, I mean, we, I don't think that I don't, first of all, I don't think that we should,
Starting point is 01:34:42 we should encourage a breakdown because that's just, I think that that's just ends in piles of dead bodies. And as much as you seem to think that it doesn't mean that there will be less intervention from international interests, I personally think that that is not the case. And the reason I think that's not the case is because of the number of nuclear weapons we have. So I think that if there's a breakdown or a massive problem with the integrity of the United States federal government, I think that there's a significant likelihood that other countries get together and say, well, we need to secure the nuclear weapons. Whether and whatever happens after that, I don't know. And I'm not saying that it's something I want, but I don't see the rest of the world saying it's okay for the United States to fall apart. And we don't know who's going to be in charge of the nuclear weapons in montana or whatever you know happened to russia i'm not i mean and also
Starting point is 01:35:28 uh the u.s was able to be the moderator there is no u.s without the u.s so russia has uh nuclear weapons and if the u.s crumbles it would just be an inversion of what we saw with the collapse no like i said that like i just said that the it it was it was okay because the u.s and nato managed the dissolution of the of the soviet union without someone like the u.s to manage the dissolution of the united states what happens is probably the un gets together and decides that they're going to go ahead and send some kind of whatever into to at least secure the military the the military assets and that's you know it'll probably be something that works in conjunction
Starting point is 01:36:06 with the existing federal government or whatever. But it's just, it's a minefield of horrors is basically what I'm thinking. West coast goes China and east coast and northeast goes EU NATO control. Yeah, I mean, my thing is I'm, all of these options are options that end up with piles and piles and piles
Starting point is 01:36:28 of dead human beings. So I'm just trying to think of like, as long as there is still the opportunity to talk about ways to fix it or to avert that kind of thing, I'm at least going to discuss it. So I'm not that black billed yet. Let's go to super chats.

Tim Jakes has prayers for the people of Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska metro area,
Starting point is 01:37:29 multiple tornadoes this afternoon, several neighborhoods flattened. Absolutely. For a while. Yeah. Super broom nightmare. I feel like Krasenstein was sharing a video game. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:37:41 The video that he was, he was sharing a video of a, of a tornado. And I swear to God, his was, was a, it sharing a video of a tornado. Was he? And I swear to God, it was a video game. There were some massive, there were real ones that I know that were, that I'm sure were real, that were a nightmare to look at as well. You think that one was like maybe questionable in origin?
Starting point is 01:37:58 Which Krasenstein? I'm not sure which one. There's two of them. Yeah, one of them blocked me. I forget which one. So the one that didn't block Phil. Yeah, I mean, that's worthless. You have a 50-50 shot.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Yeah. Brian, I think Brian. Yeah, it's probably Brian because their profiles look the exact same. Does Ed still have the sunglasses? Oh, wow. Is that, I think, yep, that looks like a video game. It looks like a video game, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:24 Yo, is that real? That's crazy. I'm like, man, this is like a video game. It looks like a video game, right? Yeah. Yo, is that real? That's crazy. I'm like, man, this is the same thing when people are like, oh, the ghost in Kiev and it's Arma. Oh, the car's got Starlink on it? That's what it looks like. The car driving has a Starlink on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:34 Wow, that's gnarly, man. So maybe it's not, but it looked like it. Fake. Anyways. Let's go. Soapy Enigma says, hit up at Soapy underscore Enigma on the Discord to join our non-woke game jam.
Starting point is 01:38:46 We'll also help you learn how to make games. That sounds really good. And we have to release this game code that we have for the video game we are making. Because I'm like, we got to open, we have like an 80% done video game. And it's called Normie Quest. And we got really far in it,
Starting point is 01:39:03 and then it just, we kind of just development stopped. The game is you're a regular guy, construction worker on the top of a skyscraper. When you get word, like the story is his phone goes, and he gets a notification of like, you know, some, something happens. And I don't, I won't give too much of the story, but a thing happens that triggers the left. And then he panics and runs to the edge of the building and sees just like 10 million Antifa. And then his phone goes brrmp again.
Starting point is 01:39:28 He looks, and it says, you know, Little Johnny's Little League game 2 p.m. And he's like, I can't miss it. And so the point of the game is to make your way down the skyscraper, which is varying levels of development, till you get to the end so that you can make it to your son's Little League game through these mass riots. Yeah. So the game is like just been sitting there mostly done there's like weapons and stuff it's only a lot of work but uh the original plan a year ago i think was like hey we're gonna release the code to the discord server to open source it and they can just make the game and then we didn't so let's like put a note somewhere and not forget and we'll do that
Starting point is 01:40:03 anyway well it's not i don't think it's dane's job put the note down there you go someone put the note down and then uh so at soapy underscore enigma on the discord so you guys if you want to join the timcast members um join the discord server hang out with the with like-minded individuals make video games play video games build culture robert de la La Cruz says, FJB forever. Shout out to that construction worker. We all greatly enjoyed that. That was so funny.
Starting point is 01:40:30 Yeah. Dylan Binkley says, my takeaway from today's culture war episode, conservative women is an oxymoron. I don't know if that's true, but maybe. What people need to understand is that a lot of conservative women today i'm not saying the prominent ones the ones you know i'm saying there are many conservative women who were feminists and liberal and then when wokeness happened they said i'm not okay with that and after 10 years of this they're like i'm also a conservative and it's like you're
Starting point is 01:41:01 a liberal feminist but because you agree with conservatives on a ton of issues pertaining to like title nine and and trans issues you now think you are conservative and you're not yeah it's interesting it's like can you actually leave feminism behind can you can you unwire your brain from that type of thinking because i do see that happen where women are now conservative but also their immediate instinct is to tack towards feminism. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think there's a reality to conservative women and feminism in that so long as divorce law and courts work this way, there will be feminists.
Starting point is 01:41:36 That's it. That's just it. And it's like, sorry, like no fault divorce has got to go. And then maybe things will start changing around what people think. But, you know, until then. I mean, whether or not there's no fault divorce, like if people feel like marriage is like just like dating. Yeah, it's like more serious dating. As long as people, you know, conceive of marriage as I can get out of this, it doesn't matter what the laws are.
Starting point is 01:42:04 And this goes back to what we were talking about with the car, with the constitution. Like if people, you know, you can have the right to free speech all day long, but if the, if society doesn't say, yes, we believe in that, you're going to get laws that are that limit your speech. You know, constitutional laws are always just a representation of the beliefs, the moral attitudes, the traditions.
Starting point is 01:42:25 They don't actually do anything in and of themselves. Yeah, I think it's, I mean, I think both men and women need to be in agreement about what traditions we are trying to move forward. And everyone has to agree to live in a way that encourages that. Obviously, you'll get outliers all the time, but if you don't have that social cohesion,
Starting point is 01:42:42 of course, there'll be, you know, the genders will be at odds at times. I mean, here's a funny thing. We've never had more free speech. George Carlin got arrested for swearing. Like he was arrested for it. People don't understand that even when we wrote the Constitution, when they were writing about free speech, it was only based on the confines and the reasonable boundaries of the community, what they'd be willing to accept. So they knew they were like, and you should be allowed to have free speech. And what they were referring to is challenging your government when it becomes tyrannical
Starting point is 01:43:09 to certain ends and assembling and having press. But they all would have agreed if a guy said he wanted to dress up like a woman and rip his clothes off in front of kids, they'd be like, that's not expression or speech. And we will have you removed from, you know, we will have you jailed or whatever. So now we are reaching the boundaries of what even classical and traditional liberals are willing to accept in terms of free speech being like, okay, maybe the guy saying he wants to kill Zionists is where we, is where we're drawing the line. The people signing on for free speech for the first amendment believed in blasphemy laws.
Starting point is 01:43:41 They were rampant all throughout the United States. So our idea of free speech bears very little resemblance to the actual belief. I mean, even John Locke, the founder of classical liberalism, said that atheists shouldn't be trusted or be able to hold political office. So the people who call themselves
Starting point is 01:43:57 classical liberal today aren't really, they don't really hold that office. Those laws exist. Some states don't allow atheists to hold office. Based. Yeah. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, That's right. really those laws exist there some states don't allow atheists to hold office based yeah uh raymond says today's culture war was a good one more lady talk like that i don't know about you all but i've always thought of yoga pants as a gift from the gods
Starting point is 01:44:16 more lady talk thanks raymond fow says several tornadoes tore through eastern nebraska and western iowa just before the show. Pray for the families affected by these natural disasters. Sad to hear it. Sad to hear it. Grofty says,
Starting point is 01:44:31 The like button is lonely. Be a friend. Smash that like button. All right. Tech Bear. ATR will be in Arkansas in August. I will try and go,
Starting point is 01:44:40 but I already bought tickets to see the greatest band ever, Creed, at the same venue in September. Creed is going to be a great show. You should make both of the shows, though. Remember when songs were about things?
Starting point is 01:44:50 I mean, I write songs about things and stuff frequently. You can still do that? That's great. I can still do that. I mean, I always knew you could do it, but culture does that? Here's my conspiracy theory. Because of John Lennon, the intelligence agencies were like we can't let people build up influence in media with radio tv and music and then subvert our agenda so we should
Starting point is 01:45:12 just control that and then this turned music into like it made it much more rigid and then you end up with diddy you know what i mean well i i, all right, so in the 70s and 80s, after the 60s and the free love and stuff, the 70s and 80s music was definitely focused on partying, and the partying focus stopped conspicuously right around the same time the Soviet Union ended, and then everything got mopey and grungy after that so you know maybe the cia was like if everyone's doing cocaine and chasing each other around the parking lot then they're not going to be commies i for one support the resurgence of
Starting point is 01:45:54 creed i think this is a great sign for the future of the nation only good things can come from this i mean look at the song with arms wide open absolutely he's singing a song about having a kid like yeah you know music is so much influence and uh turn on the top the top you know hits of the today of today and i'm just like man this is like i gotta be honest i look at like some of the top billboard stuff and it's literally something you could ai generate with suno.ai. We've made these fake joke songs. But if you go into this app and just put modern pop electronic, it will make you a top 10 billboard chart topping song. The message has been completely stripped out of all of it. And to be fair, even before John Lennon went full anti-Vietnam, a lot of the songs from the beatles were vapid meaningless pop nothing
Starting point is 01:46:45 sure you know i want to hold your hand like well that was edgy back then i guess you know yeah now sexy red is edgy but yeah you know culture's falling apart you know i love i love too is i love uh um what was that movie about the the the teenagers who wanted to go see kiss play detroit rock city was that was and it's like their parents are like they're satanists you can't support them when i was little i didn't actually know what kiss was and so when i saw them the crazy looks and the tongue and all that stuff i thought it was going to be like death yeah and then i heard it and i was like oh this is like upbeat happy stuff yeah and then i'm like and and then someone introduced me to demu borgir yeah and i was like oh that's what I thought kiss was gonna be yeah I
Starting point is 01:47:27 had a similar experience cuz I I feel like I somehow grew up under a rock I don't even know if I listened to the radio until I was 13 like don't know what happened there but kiss I always thought was like really intense when it was awesome the first time her kiss like this they're false advertising this doesn't seem right today right I want to rock and roll all night? Was that them? Yes, that's Kiss. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:46 So it's like glam rock, right? Well, yes, it was. They were definitely never a heavy band. And if your first introduction to Kiss was like 70s Kiss, like disco Kiss, you would be forgiven for being like, whoa, this is some crazy stuff. Because I was made for loving you is some disco kiss right like that's some disco sound and stuff it's not very rock but then in the 80s they were very much a you know they stayed with the time and they become like a glam metal band and stuff music music these days
Starting point is 01:48:14 is very much like like a lot of these top songs are meaningless and then the thing about creed which is like this resurgence that's come back is their songs were very meaningful someone posted a meme they said they took rock from us because rock had meaning it had you know things behind it and i'm like i you know look when grunge started popping off and nirvana came around like nirvana was completely meaningless yeah yeah i mean notoriously it's funny because people will often write like what did kurt cobain mean when he wrote this and people are like dude if you know anything about the history it it's gibberish. Yeah. I knew a guy who worked with him when I went to Seattle.
Starting point is 01:48:48 I met someone who had, an old drug addict guy. And he was like, Kurt famously would just sing gibberish before he got big. He would just jam out and sing good melodies and good songs, but with words that didn't mean anything. And like, listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit. That's what I, that's how I write. Like, first thing that I get is like, we'll go ahead and mean anything. And like, listen to smells like teen spirit. That's what I, that's how I write.
Starting point is 01:49:05 Like, first thing that I get is like, we'll go ahead and we'll figure out like how, like we want the kind of syllables to land and how we want the melody to go. And we'll do like, you know, and like just getting through the part. And then if there's stuff,
Starting point is 01:49:22 like if there's a vowel sound that's there that we like, and we want the ah sound at that point, we'll write the lyrics. And it's, you know, that's so interesting we like and we want the ah sound at that point we'll write the lyrics and it's you know that's so interesting like writing around your vowels yeah like we're and and oh yeah and not only that but how many syllables too it's like okay we have three syllables right here we have five syllables to spit here and we have to say this idea how do we do it it's like a musical crossword puzzle and so a thesaurus is your best friend yes do you think that's because metal has, the vocals have become percussive in a way
Starting point is 01:49:48 that they aren't in some other genres? Not to say that they don't, the rhythm doesn't matter in other genres, but. I don't think so. And the reason is because the stuff that I'm referring to now is melodic stuff. So now the barking, screaming stuff, the barking, screaming stuff is,
Starting point is 01:50:02 I honestly, when we're doing the barking, screaming stuff, me and Josh, the guy that we're producing the record with um josh will where he uh me and him do a lot of we listen to a lot of rap because the barking kind of like heavy stuff because there's no melody in it the cool like the cool thing to do is like match uh or it's cool to match like uh rhymes inside of rhymes and then or have stuff reference other stuff so we use a lot of rap. We M&M stuff to inspire. Vasht says dog meat is a Malinois not a German Shepherd. Oh god I hate that.
Starting point is 01:50:31 I don't know. It's not okay. My head cannon stays the same. Gromit Griptide says could I ask you to pray for my wife? She's a foreigner and has an interview on the 5th for a visitor visa. What are your thoughts? Why the government makes it easier for illegals than people who obey the law?
Starting point is 01:50:49 I've been trying to get her a permanent visa since 2020. I honestly have no idea. It makes no sense. You'd think if they were like, we want as many non-citizens here as possible, they'd let them come through the door too. They'd prefer that. Everything the government does seems like it is contrary to what is good for the country and to the existing society. You know?
Starting point is 01:51:09 What if, like, what happened was the president went through a mirror and, like, the negative version of the president stepped through, so now he's doing everything backwards? Like, bizarro Biden's going to say. Bizarro. stepped through so now he's doing everything backwards like bizarro some of it is it feels like we have a culture and society and therefore a government that rewards um lawlessness and self-centeredness right like if you show up here and you know you're here illegally and you don't even try to you know apply or anything else like you just decide you're going to cross the border well you're already here so they have to deal with you, right? And so it sort of becomes easier to release you in the country, whereas it's much easier to say like, oh, we'll get you later, or no, you can't have a
Starting point is 01:51:51 reason to someone who is trying to follow the methods. And so it just becomes this system where law-abiding people are expected to deal with the brunt and the after effects of lawlessness or selfishness. So Todd B says not defending her or saying dog deserves death, but she did also say the dog attacked and killed neighbor's chickens as well as biting people. Super don't care. Yeah, I feel like that's also her being a bad owner. That doesn't have anything to do with. When I lived in Florida, we had chickens and they got killed and I got mad. And so we were like, how did this happen? And so we got more chickens and they got killed and I got really mad. And I'm
Starting point is 01:52:31 like, they were in an enclosed area that was fenced off. Oh, a dog had dug under and we didn't notice the spot where the dog had done under, killed them all and then ripped their bodies to shreds. And so I, uh, set a so I didn't know it was a dog. I said, a trap. I bought an animal trap, and I was like, okay, whatever is doing this. And it was the guy, the next house over, who had a dog. And I caught the dog. And then we gave the dog back.
Starting point is 01:52:57 And we said, please stop having your dog kill our chickens. We didn't demand the dog be harmed. I was like, it's a dog that killed chickens. What we did get was uh an airsoft gun and then the next time i saw the dog i just pop pop pop pop and he ran away and he never came back i did not actually aim at the dog or anything i scared him yeah and then he ran away and he never came back and i was like there you go i'm not going to hurt a dog because dog did dog thing right especially a hunting dog which i don't know what she was
Starting point is 01:53:24 hunting but a lot of dogs are trained to help hunt birds i feel like this dog might have been you know within within a logical bounds here with chickens i can respect it wasn't as simple as she was like i don't like this dog i'm gonna kill it and it was like it it had it was biting people and after if a dog bites someone i think twice then the state some states are like this dog is too dangerous except for for Joe Biden's dog. They can go 25, 30, maybe even 40 times. And they're still around. But again, I still think that speaks to like this environment might have been a bad fit
Starting point is 01:53:53 for the dog. And your first reaction should probably have been rehoming additional training, bringing in some sort of professional help. Being like, I just got frustrated and shot the dog is really not the answer here. All right. Red Muskrat says libertarians are not your little purse puppies. Simply a temporary alliance because the Democrats went communist. We remember parental advisory stickers and what you do when you hold the power.
Starting point is 01:54:15 We're talking about it right now in our circles. Know that. Yeah. But wasn't parental advisory. It was the left. It was Al Gore's wife. Yeah, it was Al Gore's wife. Tipper Gore. There you go. Yeah, that wasn't parental advisory... It was the left. It was Al Gore's wife. Yeah, it was Al Gore's wife. Tipper Gore, there you go.
Starting point is 01:54:27 Yeah, that wasn't right. Dave Mustaine wrote a song about it. So hopefully they're talking about that too in their circles. They're just libertarians. They want to be mad at us. It's true. That's all they're doing.
Starting point is 01:54:38 They're just mad. They're the angsty teens of politics. Libertarians, if they're not pissed off at you, then they don't know you exist. But this is why I like the Mises caucus. Yeah. Because they're not pissed off at you then they don't know you exist but this is why i like the mises caucus yeah because they're just like they're libertarian in the in the logical sense understanding you need borders uh you know like they're you shouldn't give guns to illegal immigrants right right that was wild who did that what state was that i forget which libertarian they tweeted like yeah it was like louisiana or one of the ones that's just insane. Yeah, the funny thing about those kind of, what are they called, Lulbertarians?
Starting point is 01:55:08 Lulberts. Lulberts is like, they're the ones that get bootstomped by communists instantly. Yep. Well, the dumb thing about left libertarians is they're literally saying, hey, we're the Democrats without the free stuff. Right? without the free stuff, right? All the garbage that Democrats do, all the garbage the left does, all of the tone policing, all of the, you can't say this, all of the, all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:55:31 And they're like, well, but you can have guns, but that's it. Like you, like nothing else, like, and you don't get any of the benefits. So literally it's like, why are you going to be a left-leaning libertarian when you can just be a Democrat and get all kinds of,
Starting point is 01:55:48 I'll just be a Democrat, vote Democrat, and i'll get a bunch of goodies from the government mac n says my beagle named hunter passed away in my arms today oh he was my first dog i ever had he was 15 and i got him when i was nine he was the best boy a guy could have asked for i'm sorry to hear it mac i will pour one out for hunter tonight yeah that's really hard it's really hard to lose your like very first childhood pet. And that's why dogs are lucky. Because for the most part, dogs get us forever. Their life is from beginning to end, we're there. I read this, there's a really great meme where it was like,
Starting point is 01:56:17 someone said, I was thinking about what it must be like to be a dog, and we're like elves. I read that same thing. Yeah, we live, we have magic powers. And they get more complex as the stories go, yeah. live, we have magic powers. And they get more complex as the stories go, yeah. Yeah, like we have magic powers. We can travel, we can fly.
Starting point is 01:56:29 We live seemingly forever. And I'm like, yeah, you know, like elves. All right. Eric Miller says, Tim, where can I get a boonie skateboard? Not just a skateboarder,
Starting point is 01:56:40 not a skateboarder, but I'd love to give one or two away to somebody that gets to my local park. They are, they're currently getting made and pressed right now we're going through like a smaller local company uh that's cool and so they're currently uh getting getting done we ordered a bunch so it takes a long time but uh hopefully soon hopefully soon are you gonna sell them on
Starting point is 01:56:59 on a web on the boonies website or yeah i think it's's boonies, HQ.com, which is like there, but still partially under construction. And, uh, we look, we just got to the boonies space where we're filming and skating. And so we're not even fully ramped up yet. Like the crew isn't even like the skaters aren't even ready full time. We haven't even whiteboarded out our plans.
Starting point is 01:57:18 So it's relatively early, but the big news is, Oh, I love this. Some of the biggest names in skateboarding have been reaching out and wanting to get involved. And it's because skateboarding is seriously hurt right now. 55% of skateboarders are over the age of 30. That means the industry is collapsing.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Wow. Because you always, and people aren't having kids. Nobody goes outside, yeah. Right. And so any industry needs to have the majority of their market being under a certain age, implying there is a future for your industry. But if majority of skateboarders are over 30, that means in 10 years when these people, so already 30 year old skateboarders are buying less boards, buying less shoes, they're working more hours and other jobs. So their purchase of
Starting point is 01:58:05 these products is going down and you have less young people to buy product, which means the industry will start shrinking, which means less promotional video, which means less interest from other young people. It is a deflation. And if skateboarding doesn't turn this around and start inspiring more young people to be involved in the sport, which may change with the Olympics coming up in this year, which is going to be big. And then 2028 in LA will be huge. Skateboarding could seriously drop off and the market could collapse. Like nobody's talking about the market of, I don't even know what it's called.
Starting point is 01:58:35 What's the thing where they throw the ice pucks? Curling. Curling. Like skateboarding is a massive cultural influence. Curling is not. Curling's cool. It's fun. Like be an Olympic curler or whatever.
Starting point is 01:58:45 But like, you know, there's no curling parks all over the country. Right. There are to a certain degree, but not like skate parks. So that's the big news. Once we announced the big investment, the plans, some of the biggest names in skateboarding were like, we're in. And I must tell you, my friends, I do believe with this effort, we are on the cusp of maybe one of the biggest culture war victories in that the size of skateboarding and the risk they're facing right now and the fact that a lot of these older guys are very anti-woke, just scared, means that there's a tremendous opportunity in making the investment. When some of the biggest pros start skating our
Starting point is 01:59:22 park and produce segments with us and are riding our boards and all that stuff, the woke skateboarders will have literally nothing to say. They're going to go to a skate park and be like, yeah, well, pro skateboarders are dumb. And everyone's going to be like, who are you? Why are you hating on everything we're doing? Right now, they've got the pros. A lot of the older guys are terrified to speak out about the insanity. There are a lot of professional skateboarders who got boards simply for their identity and not for their skills. And so a lot of the people who made skateboarding an Olympic sport worldly are upset about this. I think we're potentially like two months away from a massive cultural shock to the system where we completely invert a massive industry. And I will say two things. AWH Distribution, one of the biggest skateboard
Starting point is 02:00:04 distribution companies, is on Public Square. Flip Skateboards, one of the most famous skateboarding companies in the world, is on Public Square. And you've got Nitro Circus, skaters like Beaver Fleming, a pro who does double backflips, wearing his Public Square shirts. When I told some of these pros, they're like, I'm really worried about the politics. And I was like, oh, Flip is on Public Square. They went, what? And I'm like and i'm like flip skateboard this is like jeff raleigh this is tony hawk pro skater like level stuff this is the biggest one of the biggest companies have publicly declared their support for family values and free speech and all that stuff that's wild so and that's massive so i'm really really excited for that all right everybody if you haven't already would you
