And I say communist because that really is the core issue. And I know a lot of people who are critical of Israel are going to push back on that. But if

you take a look at what they're doing with the occupation, with the People's Library and Welcome to the People's University, it's just an Occupy-style leftist protest. This time, the backdrop is Israel. And, you know, I certainly think there are anti-Israel sentiments. And as I often say, you're allowed to criticize them. But this is just flavor of the month leftist occupation protest. And they've got a cause to stand behind. So we'll talk about that. Plus, really interesting.

The Biden administration is accusing Israel of human rights violations, which could put military aid or any foreign aid on hold based on something called Leahy laws. But we'll we'll see if they actually do that, why they're doing it. Hard to know for sure. But according to Gallup and Pew, support for Israel is dramatically down among Democrats, which means I guess the deep state back in the Biden horse means they're officially not supporting Israel anymore or I have no idea. There are Democrats that are signing this call to ban what they're calling anti-Jewish protests. And it's like, well, look, man, the protests are general leftist. There are people who are singling out Jewish people. We'll pull up a video. I'll show you one.

But the backdrop is anti-Israel. So I can see how this starts to get muddy. We'll talk about that. Plus, according to Politico, having babies is now far right. Yep, that's true. Yep, I don't get it either. But we'll talk about that. Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to buy coffee. It's our coffee. We sponsor ourselves.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, Kingsley Wilson. Yeah, great to be with you guys tonight. My name is Kingsley Wilson. I'm a Trump campaign alum, currently do digital media in D.C. at the Center for Renewing America, and I'm also National Committee Woman for the D.C. Young Republicans. All right, I'm next for hanging out. Phil's here. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I am the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Hannah Clare, how are you? I'm good. It's fun to see you. I'm Hannah Clare Brimelow. I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

That's Scanner News. I'm glad to be back. Serge is here. Yo, let's get started, Tim. Here we go. We got the big news here from the New York Times. Columbia begins suspending student protesters. University officials gave the pro-Palestinian demonstrators a 2 p.m. deadline and threatened to suspend them if they did not leave. But I'd like you to take a look at this image. And what do you see? The People's Library.

Oh, wow. Welcome to the People's University of Palestine. All right, look, it's very obvious to anybody who knows anything about these protests. They don't care about Israel. They care about flavor of the month, cause of the month. And as I've often described, when it comes to wokeness, there is no underlying moral ideology other than what we are is moral, period. If the hive decides Palestine is the issue, then the hive flocks to Palestine. All of a sudden, nobody cares about China. Nobody cares about, you know, the Uyghur Muslims. Nobody cares about Sudan. Nobody cares about Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan. It all just becomes Israel. And of course, we had, Afghanistan. It all just becomes Israel. And of course, we had George Floyd.

It all just becomes Black Lives Matter. It all becomes trans rights. This is just another outpouring of young, blanket, woke leftism with no real cause. However, it does end up focusing on Israel, which pisses off the U.S. government and their foreign policy. And you end up with, Israel, which pisses off the U.S. government and their foreign policy. And you end up with, I don't know, we got these weird calls from Democrats to shut down what they're calling anti-Jewish protests. And it definitely seems like a stretch, like they're the only way they can deal with this is to accuse them of being anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish. And

while it is fair to say there certainly are instances of anti-Semitism, which I will show you in a video, we have another instance. This is just general wokeness. It's general leftism. And I suppose the issue is, to kick it off, young people were on TikTok. TikTok was telling them, you know, trans rights and feminism and Black Lives Matter and the deep state and the Democrats really were totally fine with it. Republicans wanted to ban it. Then when it turns anti-Israel and now wokeness has just like mindless zombies marched into the Israel argument.

Now, all of a sudden, TikTok's got to go. But I think that just shows if as we saw in that video of that young woman, when you go to these protests and ask, what are you protesting? They're like, I have no idea. No, I think there is sort of a hive mind mentality. It's the buzzword, right? This is a trendy thing. I mean, I think these people picture themselves as saying to their grandchildren, well, when I was in college, we demonstrated for Gaza. Like, that will be some badge of honor. It's the way that feminists in the past said, you know, when I was in college, I, you know, protested so that I could wear pants to class or whatever.

Like, it is the cause of the generation, right? It's trendy right now. But I don't know that any of them are as deeply committed as they think they might be. And I think that's why you would get these clips of people saying, I mean, the group that's leading a lot of this is called Divest Apartide. And no one knows what that means. No one knows what they're talking about.

Divest Apartide? They're just like, we don't want you to spend money on this anymore. You know, like none of these students have an action plan. No one has a set of demands. I'll break it down for you. Some kids are hanging out of college and someone's like, hey, you want to go to the camp?

Like, what's going on? It's like a party, dude. It's like Burning Man. And they're like, yeah, let's go. And so they bring a tent and they hang out because it's fun. And you ask them on camera, like, what do you protest? They're like, I just think that we want NYU to, what are they doing? I don't know.

I wish I knew. That's literally what they said. They were like, we don't even go here. We go to Columbia. But we heard NYU is protesting, so we're in. And again, like, maybe they should have better sports teams so they can all camp out for tickets or something. Put this energy somewhere useful. Sports are literally not something that Gen Z is not interested in.

We actually talked about that today or the other day on PCC. Gen Z is just not. They don't participate in sports. They're not interested in sports for whatever reason. So the nowadays, the social activity is activism. And it seems like ever since Occupy Wall Street, that's definitely since George Floyd, that's been the kind of,

the way that young people kind of get together and- Virtue signal. Yeah, well, not only that, but also socialize. See, I think it's that they were rewarded repeatedly. way that that young people kind of get together and and and virtue signal yeah you know well not only that but also socialize see i know it's like that they were rewarded repeatedly i mean all of these people who applied to columbia that guy we were talking about on friday who was like leading the protest and got in trouble he wrote his college admissions essay on the fact that he was like fighting systemic racism like this is something that they know or you typically they can do and be rewarded for which is why i don't necessarily feel bad for any of these administrators.

Right. They've let these radical left kids in. They've put them first. They've created them. They didn't let them in. Yes, they've indoctrinated them as well. Because the humanities departments are literally creating these. Right.

So it frustrates me as a conservative to see people like Mike Johnson go and try to police it, break it up. People like Governor Abbott's doing the same thing. Never interrupt your enemy when they're fighting amongst themselves. These are both Marxists on both sides. They're arguing, they're bickering. It's a fracturing within the leftist party in this country and conservatives should just kind of let them fight it out and just hands off. I hear that. I'm also, I got no beef with Mike Johnson wanting to pull funding from these universities. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, totally on board with that. But you don't need to go there personally and try to, you know, you're being drowned out by the protesters.

You look weak. You're wasting time. You can be, you know, fighting in Congress, putting forward America First bills, stopping that aid, not just grandstanding at Columbia. Yeah, I'm done with the, my free speech argument is amended once more. For years, like in the 2010s, it was, we must defend the speech of even the people we disagree with. And then Marxists started screaming, we don't deserve speech rights. And I was like, well, you know, that's your right to say it. And then they

started physically attacking people and getting people suspended and banned. And then I decided, you know, I'm not, this was like four years ago, I was like, I'm done defending people who are actively trying to take away my speech rights. If you are for free speech, I'll protect your free speech. I'll defend your free speech. If you oppose it, you get the governance you ask for. The left? Go ahead.

Just the main point. These protesters are the same people who show up to physically beat old women. And I'm not kidding. In Berkeley, you can search for this on YouTube, they threw M80s at old women. It was a park in Berkeley because they were waving little flags. Discover the magic of Bad MGM Casino, where the excitement is always on deck.

There's American flags or whatever. So these people want to organize behind violence. There's a video we'll show in a second of them refusing at UCLA to allow a Jewish student to walk to class. They're barring him entry. And he's like, why can't I go? And he's got his hands in the air. And then they scream, oh, no, help. They're trying to shut us down

and take away our free speech. And I'm like, good. Let the police come and clear it all out. I don't care. This is a great example of something that I've talked about a bunch of times. Hurt Mark Hughes wrote a paper called Repressive Tolerance.

And it's emblematic, or what's going on here is emblematic of the ideas in that paper. The idea that you have to shut down other people's speech. They say this is an area emblematic uh or what's going on here is emblematic of the ideas in that paper the idea that you have to shut down other people's speech they say this is a this is an area where you can't come in and we're going to bar you from coming into this area so they're they're making it their own property and saying that they have some kind of right about it but they're telling other people that if there are jewish kids even there that they disrupt the people that are on campus and stuff.

So it's constantly demonstrating over and over and over what looks to people like double standards. And it's emblematic of the way that the left operates. They constantly are saying, you know, this is unacceptable behavior when you do it, but yet they're trying to do the same thing. Right. But I was kinkling on this one. Like, this is the house they built, and if it collapses on them, let it be. You know, I don't think that these institutions— Throw fuel on the fires. I don't think these institutions serve Americans, really.

You know? No. Like, it encourages this weird leftist elite of them where they're like, you must go to college, and the best colleges are here. But to get into this best college, you have to be woke, right? We don't actually want diversity here. We want diversity in race and ethnicity. We do not want diversity in thought. Conservatives are not actually welcoming in these places. And you see that with the staff, right? There were professors who were like circling around students today trying to protect them. They've released statements saying, you know, they're being unfairly targeted. They're doing the right thing. I mean, I'm sure that's not every single

professor at Columbia, but it's enough where you say, actually, you wanted this all the way through and this is the fruits of the labor you put into your admissions and hiring process. Right. No, exactly. These people, they were fine with the revolution until it came for them. You know, they championed it, they supported it. And now that they're being classified. They thought they'd be the vanguard. Right, exactly. But now they're being classified in the paradigm they've put forward, right?

Oppressed versus oppressor. And they hate it. And I don't feel sorry for them necessarily. I don't. I mean, the thing is, I think you have a great, you should protest. That's excellent.

I just think if the American youth were to protest for something, I wish it had been the border wall. I wish it had been for reduction in immigration. I wish it was for a better secretary of transportation who actually was competent and wanted to fix the roads and bridges and railways. American youth champion, especially American youth who are at these very elite institutions, right? Like when you go to an Ivy League school, people still look at that as being something worth giving extra attention to. And this is what they have decided is their number one cause. It's just, it's just to me, not in the best service of our country. You know, I'm thinking about how frustrating it is that all these Democrats and Republicans are like, they're anti-Semites because they're protesting. And I'm like, you know, you can say it a million times as a difference, but you know, that doesn't matter. What matters is if

these politicians are saying it, these college students need to realize that business executives and leaders are going to say the same thing, whether you care if it's true or not, it doesn't matter. If they're telling you your protest is anti-Semitic and you can argue all day and night till you're blue in the face that it's not, when you go for that job interview and they're gonna be like, I saw you on TV at that protest at Columbia, we're not hiring you.

That's it. No job. Yeah, it's long-term consequences of them. I mean, in some ways it's the effect that I think so many people have felt on the right when they are doing something, get labeled racist you know, racist or whatever. And that tag sticks with them for either whether it's true or not. And I'm not trying to say that there aren't there are probably moments of anti-Semitism at all of these protests.

But overall, you know, it's a label that I think right now a lot of people are trying to use to scare the students away from what they're doing, especially episodes a couple times, especially as we get closer to the summer. Because I don't actually believe every single one who's every single person who's sitting in a camp at Columbia is a Columbia student. Right. There are other people there. They're not. There was a list of people arrested. I think Andy Ngo published this and many of them are not students. Shocker. It's a dry run for what's coming well this is another reason why i think it's actually fair to say the protests should be removed uh should be

because first there should be action taken to stop the protesters from attacking people which they've done from barring people from coming in for nebulous reasons one video showing a guy wearing a Star of David, they won't let him in. There's one video where a guy looks very Jewish, this is at Yale, wouldn't let him in. And people, you know, I see people arguing, yeah, well, they were doing weird things. And I'm like, don't know, don't care. If this is being reported and it's happening, then we should just immediately be like, yo, you can't do these things at a protest. Alex Stein went down, they physically attacked him. Okay, so they should be like, first things you can't do these things at a protest. Alex Stein went down. They physically attacked him.

OK, so they should be like, first things first, before the process is removed, we're going to actually moderate to prevent these kinds of illegal actions from happening. And if that can't be stopped, then I think it's fair to say this is an unlawful assembly and you got to disperse. If there are people who are not students occupying student grounds and barring other students from being able to use it or come in, yeah, okay, that's trespassing. And if they can't figure out who it is, or it's really simple. If 10 of 100 people are not students, they need to figure out who's not a student and

say like, you can't be here trespassing and you're restricting grounds for other people. I got to be completely honest, though. I think they should just completely remove the camps, protest all you want, stand around all you want, wave flags, come every single day. But taking the ground from other people, I say no way. Yeah, I mean, I would be happy to see the universities intervene just because you have the right to protest. Listen to me, the university, which funds and maintains that property, can't fight back.

I think ultimately, I'm interested in seeing what happens again, as we get closer to the summer, right? Columbia, USC canceled the graduation, Columbia is like two weeks away from graduation, when we have both, you know, free agents who would do this professionally, but also just students who are interested in this cause who now have the time to go sit in on any of the encampments, these encampments, will they become more entrenched or will the schools be able to break them up before they become sort of intensely unmanageable? You want to say something? Well, I'm just wondering,

what do you guys think the likelihood of this having the intensity to be a actual, something that actually sets people off to have serious protests in the summer when they're not at school. Will it get, do you guys think that this will get people into the streets? Well, they're in the streets. Yeah. And I think they have the resources to do it. Like you've, a lot of people have pointed out that the tents at all these encampments, even though they're, you know, across the country are the exact same. These kids are large. They're funded by large

donors. So I think they have the network and the support to really make this a big thing going into the summer. Take a look at this map. So this is a map of a, this is from a 2060. This is not even from the 29th. This is an updated map as of the 26th of all the places where there were protests. The bigger the dot, the more arrests that have happened there. Look how many protests have popped up all over the country because people hate Israel. Yo, the deep state's in trouble with this one.

Let's jump to this story, though. I have this story from the Post Millennial. Comedian Alex Stein assaulted by trans for Palestine activists at UT Austin. Good grief. And then we have this story from the New York Post. Guerrilla journalist says he was beaten by anti-Israel protesters at CUNY for waving American flag on campus. This story is about Ami Horowitz.

Listen, you can criticize, by all means, if you're like Alex Stein goes in there and, you know, he's filming and people don't like it. Well, he should be allowed to do that. He should be allowed to say what he wants to say. And he should be allowed to ask questions without people attacking him. And they did. They physically attacked him. But if the argument is, well, leftists are violent and Alex should know that's a likely

outcome. I'm sure Alex does. Ami Horowitz, on the other hand, is just this mild mannered dude who walks around and asks regular old man on the street questions. Here's a video of them physically removing him. I guarantee you Ami Horowitz was not going in there antagonizing people. That is not what he does. His videos are all basically he's on a street corner and he's like, hey, I'm here to ask some questions. He famously went to Berkeley and said, hey, I'd like to ask you a question.

Do you think that voter ID is racist? That's all he does. For them to physically attack him and remove him shows exactly why these protests are crossing the line. And the problem is people on the, or I should say the response on the left, like you can't blame all of us for what those guys did. And it's like, right, but the problem becomes when you are, when non-students are taking up students space, barring students from entering, there becomes a civil dispute. People are being physically attacked.

And now we're like, okay, what are we supposed to do about this? I will say outright right here for all of this, I am done defending the free speech rights of people who physically attack people for expressing free speech. That's it. When they bar people from coming in, when they physically attack people, and I personally experienced this covering Occupy Wall Street and its subsequent protests and derivatives. I'm just done. Send in the police. Go ahead.

I don't care. Whatever justification Democrats or Republicans need, I don't care. I'm not going to defend them at all. They want to attack Alex Stein. They want to attack Ami Horowitz. Then that just proves exactly what I was saying the whole time. And for nothing, right? For waving an American flag.

I mean, fundamentally, these protesters are anti-American. They're Sharia supremacists. And that kind of ideology just has no place in our country whatsoever. And you're right. A lot of these kids are communists. They don't really care about the Israel Gaza conflict at all. But the ones who do, I think it's frustrating to me as well. As an America first conservative, I hate seeing, you know, foreign ethnic conflicts play out on American soil. We have no interest in what's happening in a lot of other countries, yet kids feel the need to shut down universities to talk about it. And that's frustrating for me because we have a lot of problems

that need solving here at home. That I bet they couldn't explain or talk about, right? It is interesting to me that they're hyper-fixated on something that's going on abroad when none of them are planning on entering the job market in Israel or Palestine. They are completely focused on staying in America and dictating what goes on somewhere else. Again, I'm not saying that they can't have passions or whatever else,

although I do believe a lot of them don't really know what they're talking about. But some of them might. On the other hand, no one's moving. They're all staying here. This is a symptom of the broader leftism that's going, you know, that's controlling the zeitgeist. I guess is a pretty good way to say it. The idea that you have to be politically active with the correct political opinions is that's the new in vogue. You know, that's the new way that people show their uh you know their class

association and i bet that's how most of at least the you know students in the northeast got admitted to the school in the first place right do you remember that story about the kid writing black lives matter over and over again i mean like these are all the things they signal to the admissions officers when they ask to be admitted to these universities they said we are left and we are we are for a progressive future and And so let us in. And so they have been rewarded for this behavior. Why wouldn't they escalate it? It's true.

Yes, thank you. They should allow them to make as much noise as they want. They should send pallets of bricks to all of these universities. I mean, I don't think this is happening at Hillsdale, which is like one of the only privately funded universities in America. Anyone that gets arrested, bricks to all of these universities i mean i don't think this is happening at hillsdale which is like one of the only privately funded universities in america the kamala harris

should should try and draw up some money to help him get out of jail have you seen their demands no not at all so so they have demands of the universities and i'm like what does this have to do with israel look i'm sorry you go down and talk to these people some of them will tell you things about why they're mad about Israel. But this is first layer NPC thinking. They don't actually know or care. This is why a lot of people got mad at me when we had one individual on. And I said, why do you care so much about Israel?

And the response we got was, or that I got, Israel is going to escalate a conflict which results in war with Iran and that could spark nuclear World War Three. And I'm like, OK, Russia is literally at war with us right now, threatening to use nukes. So why is the focus on Israel? And look, you're allowed to focus on Israel. You're allowed to be critical of Israel. All of those things are fine.

But it's seemingly first there are people with Israel derangement syndrome where they're just obsessed with this one place. And it's the weirdest thing to me. But these leftists don't actually care. In two months, they will be thinking about something totally different. It will be a completely different issue. So I'm just like, I'm not interested in whatever weird pseudo-left communist BS they're trying to do. Their demands are of the universities.

And the universities have nothing to do with Israel. So they're saying they demanded water and amnesty. Like, okay, wait, you want water? Go to the fountain, go get water. What are we talking about? I'm like, no, the university's got to send us water. It's like, so you're occupying intents to create things like the people's library, they call it, saying you want water. Where is this about Israel? And what does this do for Israel or Palestine or anything? Nothing. They want amnesty. They want the university to forgive them of any wrongdoing.

And I'm just like, why are you protesting at CUNY, at NYU, at Columbia, these universities? And what are you even demanding of them? Nothing. It doesn't make sense to me other than they want to signal that they have the proper political opinions, even if they don't have any idea where the opinion comes from, why they have it. And I mean, this could be compared to a hostage situation in which someone takes hostages without actually knowing what they're asking for. Right. And so they become desperate like they could ask for anything right now because ultimately they don't really have a direct way to get any of the things they think they want or they're claiming to want. And again, none of them are planning to leave America. So they aren't actually as impacted by

this as they are sort of pretending to be right now. Some of them might be, some of them could have family work, you know, in different countries or whatever else, but the majority of the students are trying to say we're on this issue, but they don't actually know how to solve this issue well they don't there's nothing that they can do right they they want the universities to divest or stop doing business with israel so fine but that doesn't matter because i said this the other night israel is going to do what israel thinks that israel needs to do to get rid of Hamas, right? That's going to happen. It doesn't matter how many people protest.

It doesn't matter how many days you stay on the quad. It doesn't matter how many tents you've got. Israel is going to continue the operations in Gaza until Israel feels like they have gotten all of Hamas. And it doesn't matter how much you protest. Right. And I mean, it is to their credit, the college students in America, especially again, this sort of was born out of the Northeast, Columbia, NYU, you know, schools, schools in New England

or in the Mid-Atlantic, they are said to have inspired, you know, student protesters in Paris and in Europe. So it is a movement that is spreading. And again, when you can see that you're going viral, perhaps you feel the need to continue it, even though, again, they don't know exactly what their objective is. Like, are they going to have every university in the world divest from Israel? And what does that actually mean? What are the details of doing that? I don't know that very many of them could actually articulate this. Yeah, because it's just virtue signaling, like Phil was saying at the end of the day, you know,

like this is their social credit score. It's performative. They, you know, gain status points within the culture these days if they're supporting things like this, if, you know, they're out there. I'm an anti-colonialist and they're throwing out the buzzwords and all of those things. And I think at the end of the day, these kids just want to be a part of something. They don't have any sense of community. So they're trying to create it and just throw, you know, stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Right. I think that's true. Blanket, mindless, woke, whatever, whatever fits the narrative. But will this will this escalate in the summer months is the big question, I suppose. And what does it turn into? Is it going to be I ultimately do think it's bad for Israel,

even though these people don't really think about it. And that's the fear that they have with TikTok. It foments a bunch of people in the streets screaming about something they don't know or care about. But then the public image is Israel bad, you know, poor Palestine, and they will weaponize that.

And that's going to cause big problems for the deep state when it comes to the election this November. So I think, honestly, like the best thing ever is Democrats calling for these protests to be ended, resulting in police are physically arresting anti-Israel protesters, generating Democrat sympathy for Palestine just means Biden loses. Yeah, I mean, that's what that's why. What what did the administration do? He made some overture to, what was the last thing that Biden did today?

Oh, he said that Israel committed humanitarian human rights violations. And Blinken is saying that Hamas should accept the very generous deal that's been offered to them. Yeah, this is all. The Biden administration is trying to wrap this up. That's what they're signaling, in my opinion. But they're not going to make anyone happy, right? This is a situation. It's a no win situation. Compromise means somebody loses.

And I just think that the Biden administration has really isolated themselves from a lot of their voting base. It's going to it's not good. Let me pull up this next story. This is from Fox News. Biden administration accuses Israeli military of human rights violations in stunning condemnation. The State Department finding comes as anti-Israel protests sweep college campuses. This should be the easiest and greatest bit of proof for you that Joe Biden just does whatever the woke left wants him to. The reason? This has nothing to do with the Gaza war. This is pre October 7th, they're claiming. The U.S. found five units of the Israeli Defense Force, forces responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights. The State Department announced on Monday, though, whether funding to the American ally could be cut

over such abuses under the so-called Leahy laws still hangs in the balance. Theoretically, because of this move the Biden administration made, they could cut funding to Israel. So I just kind of feel like I'm going to sit back at the Biden administration. Sure. Open up the door to cutting funding. I hope we can get any one of the more libertarian candidates to actually say, OK, well, then that bill that just got signed off on to fund Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, we got to we got to halt that because of the Lee laws here. And so I'll just let my I'll just let these people keep making the mistakes, spiraling out of control.

The Biden administration desperately pandering to the woke left for reasons I don't get. I think older people tend to be more pro-Israel, but I think it's Pew research. No, no, I'm sorry. It's Gallup showing that Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove of Israel. So Biden is just going that direction. Yeah, I think he is kind of giving in after months of sort of trying to weave back and forth between both sides on this issue. He's he is ultimately trying to get reelected. And that's why I think he's lining up in a way that condemns Israel. Again, I have no idea what his personal thoughts on anything are. I don't know that I would have predicted he would have been the president that both banned TikTok and decided to defund Israel. That was a twist for me. But again, it's not because he ideologically believes in what

these younger progressives are saying. It's because he doesn't want to lose their vote. He needs them to get back into the White House, theoretically. Yeah, I think a lot of old school Democrats, they're not necessarily ideologues in the way that a lot of younger, more far left Democrats are. Honestly, I think they're just about power and they're about cementing power. So that's what Biden's doing here. And I think he sees where the wind is blowing. Gen Z Republicans and Democrats, honestly, are both very unfavorable towards, you know, Israel and Israel aid, things like that. So I think he sees, you know, that the older generation that was very pro-Israel is starting to die out and he's making a play for the future of the party. Yep. Which is why I said support for Israel is done in 20 years.

I don't think people realize that how much the support for Israel is actually just siphoning money back into the united states economy in the military industrial complex right like it does go to war it does go to the military industrial complex but when they give money to israel they're giving it to israel so israel can spend that money on the u.s military equipment for the most part like there are some some joint ventures i'm sure between israel and the u.s because military equipment for the most part. Like there are some joint ventures, I'm sure, between Israel and the U.S. because Israel's got plenty of scientists that know their stuff and what have you.

But they're still just dumping money into the United States, you know, or the military industrial complex in the U.S. Yeah, I think one of the problems is, sorry, do you want to? No, you're good, go ahead. I was going to say, I think one of the problems is that, you know, the younger generation is farther removed from the formation.S. Yeah, I think one of the problems is, sorry, do you want to? No, you're good. I think one of the problems is that, you know, the younger generation is far, is farther removed from the

formation of Israel. So Israel is an established fact that maybe for an older Democrat, they know, they're, they're close, more closely connected to, you know, how geopolitical politics shook out to have the landscape that we do now. But I think if you were to tell any of the young Democrats, we're talking about this before the show, or any young Americans, hey, since World War II, we've spent $260 billion funding Israel, they would go, but why can't I afford a house, right? Even though there is historic context for all kinds of things, ultimately, what they hear is, we are not our government's priority. I am not the priority of our government. And I think Americans are really sick of getting that message. Yeah, I think a lot of that is messaging. I think the government is really bad at explaining to the American people why they do things they do.

And I also don't think you could justify the amount of foreign aid that we spend. I mean, I think it's just become astronomical in a way that really, really tells us that this is more about currying favor and power with the world than it is about ensuring prosperity for the people. Maybe not controlling the world. Well, partially, but you have to understand like one of the things, one of the things that, that foreign aid is for is like the more people that have dollars, the more countries that have dollars. And I'm only saying this because there's a lot of people that, that are, that are listeners that don't even, you know, they don't know that these are more the complexity. It's not just as much as giving,

giving money away to get people to do stuff, but the more people that have dollars, the more foreign countries that have significant amount of dollars, the more people are incentivized to continue to use dollars. So it helps keep the value of the dollar, allowing the federal government to print more dollars. Now, I'm against the Federal Reserve. I want to get rid of it.

I want to see some kind of currency that is stable and backed by something tangible. But the federal government and most of the American people look at the flexibility that that type of monetary policy gives and they they don't realize how much it benefits them so or how much how much how much how much flexibility it gives the united states government to to act in the world and that kind of that's part of why the foreign aid is a good thing and again i'm against foreign aid i don't think we should have it but it's a double because again like being able to be the basically world currency is is incredibly powerful.

On the other hand, it puts you in a position where, you know, there was this call between the president of Mexico and Biden on Sunday. And basically the president was like, I want you to keep legal immigration open at the border because obviously of a huge crisis. And he's talked about this before. Biden has pledged to be like, you know, to deal with some of the root issues as term that keeps coming up. And one of the president of Mexico's solutions for solving root issues is like he proposed at the end of March was, well, why don't you give 20 million dollars to poor country or 20 billion dollars to poor countries in South America and in the Caribbean? Because that will deter people from trying to go to the U.S. for, you know, economic advantages. It's it's this thing where it starts to be like, well, we can use your foreign aid and the fact that you have money to blackmail you into allowing us to set the standards for immigration policy like that ultimately also makes America weak. So it's the crazy it's I mean, everything

is about a balance. Right. And I think having influence economically is obviously important to a country, on the other hand, that can so easily be turned around to be the thing they use against you. Well, you have the money, so, so we'll invade unless you give it to us. And I think, you know, yeah, you can say like foreign aid makes us powerful, but who is us? Like you were saying earlier. Well, the federal government is what I'm talking about. What this money is doing is, you know, it's not helping me buy the home, as you were saying. It's just padding the wallets of the military industrial complex and the defense lobbyists and contractors in D.C. who ultimately, you know, don't have my best interests at heart. They just want to profit

off of war and off of death. And I think the American people are starting to see that. I think the America First movement has opened their eyes to that. And, you know, we essentially have countries on auto pay. We give Israel since the Obama administration three point eight billion every year for their missile defense system. I think Americans see stuff like that and they're frustrated because they go to the grocery store, they go fill up their car with gas, they're struggling to make ends meet, and we're just giving money out endlessly. We're writing blank checks to Ukraine. We're funding both sides of every war as well, right? We're giving money to Gaza and to the Israelis as well. So I think Americans are just fed up with it, especially young Americans.

Yeah. I think Americans are just fed up with it, especially young Americans. Yeah. I think so, too. Yeah. Well, I'll continue to monologue here. I think I think support for Israel is done. Like the Biden administration is free falling. They're desperate. And these protests are meaningless and vapid. But Biden's bending the knee to it anyway. So 10 to 20 years, people on the right, the MAGA side, is going to say exactly what people here are saying, no more funding for foreign wars. We don't know what the point is. The Biden administration's already abandoned it.

It's going to be way sooner than 10 to 20 years because there's no way that we're going to be able to continue to service the debt. What's your guess? I imagine by 2030 we have significant, with unfunded liabilities that people that talk about people that talk about the America first people that talk about how much money we're giving away and how much money we spend on, on, you know, foreign aid and stuff. Fair enough. That's legitimate. Again, I I'm against foreign aid, but if you really care

about the United States, you need to start making noise about the unfunded liabilities because last year we spent more on interest to our national debt than we spended on the military so everyone talks about how the united states spends all this money on war and blah blah blah blah and that looks good to be like i'm anti-war and it's bad that we spend spend money on war that's a really great virtue signal but the really hard thing is hey grandma you know that social security check that you got we're gonna have to cut it in half well i mean you know because we'll never get it probably tim too like you probably you will never mind never get it there's not gonna be a country for you to get it from i know it's all gonna fall apart but what's interesting is like we're enslaved

by our own debt it makes me want to be like, where is Dave Ramsey when we need him? But it's fine. It's okay if we're, if the, it's not, well, not okay, but it's manageable if the economy is growing, but we're reaching a point where we can't do that. But none of this matters if they're telling you. And if we all know the question right now is what are you owed? What is coming to you? Like you're owed something.

Sure. Every generation we, we pass on the fruits of our labor to the next. So that's what the generations are owed. They are. And what will you get from that? The answer is you'll get nothing. You are owed the fruits and labors of your ancestors and the hard work we put in, but it's being given away. It's being stripped from you. And so what will you get? You will get nothing. And if we know that we're looking at a disastrous market, whether it be war escalating, prices rising, Biden refusing to refill the strategic petroleum reserve because he doesn't want to lose a presidency. All that matters is what will you do to ensure the survival of yourself, your friends, your family? Because the idea that you're going to be like, I shouldn't have to start planting vegetables, learning to farm and raising chickens.

The government should just be fixed. It's like, OK, well, sure. Great. Biden sucks. Trump should win. Shoulda, shoulda, coulda. These things should happen. What are you doing right now to plan for what if it goes bad?

There's some guy, I think it was Business Insider or it might have been like fortune.com or something. There's a guy claiming that the S&p could collapse by 50 and i'm like yeah you know maybe the way the way what we're seeing right now economically is nuts like the the the unrealized losses that the fed and all these banks has that they're just pretending like they haven't lost everything the mass printing of money we are sitting on i mean it's it's been called the house of cards for decades, but we're well beyond that. If tomorrow you wake up and there's no electricity, what are you going to do? And people in New York are going to go full dawn of the dead. I mean, it's going to be riots. People are going to be stealing and hoarding food, fleeing en masse. And within a few days, people

are going to be very, very thirsty. So we'll have to figure that one out. I don't know that it does happen. I don't know why it would. I'm just saying when we're looking at the state of the economy right now, and it seems to be made of toothpicks, not even house of cards anymore. It's a toothpick structure of some sort that's ready to collapse upon. What are you going to do? So this may all come crumbling down. Social security may be gone. How are you taking care of the elderly? Your grandma, grandpa, what are you going to do? You put them in a home?

Home stops running. There's no money. There's no food in that. This system is poised to explode. Go back 100 years, 200 years, and what do you got going on? Everybody lives together with big families in their big houses. Grandma and grandpa live nearby. Nowadays, it's like the kids

leave they their grandparents are rarely around what happens to all the nursing homes and all the assisted living if the economy collapses how like some 35 year old guy is going to be like i can't take care of my parents he's like what, what am I going to do? Go drive back, you know, 2,000 miles to wherever they live? It's going to be disastrous. And then there's going to be a bunch of conservative folks who are, you know, minding their own business, living traditionally, and they're not going to notice. The Amish will probably notice nothing. I was going to say the United States is going to be ruled by the Amish. No, they're going to be like, you guys did this to yourself.

We're staying over here. Let's jump to this story from Politico. we'll start now with the story but with a tweet politico writes let me uh let me zoom in on this for you the far right is so obsessed with making babies they just held a whole conference about it behind the scenes at the first natal con they write for politico the far rights campaign to explode the population i would like to say two things one this conference happened what was it like six months ago in december in december just they just held this conference like where have you guys been and uh they say explode the population yo um the population is collapsing birth rates are below

replacement telling people to have babies is trying to moderate at the very least the population but it is now i must say far right to want to have children there are three things that that life does they eat they sleep and they make more of themselves and the fascinating thing is right now the left's idea is you should be eating way more you should be eating way more. You should be sleeping whenever you feel like it. But don't you dare make more of yourselves. You know, my attitude is if you're somebody who eats a lot and sleeps a lot, I agree.

Don't make more of yourselves. Next question. Well, how long until we end up, or at least me, I end up on an extremist list because I want to have a family one day. They're like crazy. You want to have children? Oh, I admit it. So cuff me now. Like, it doesn't make any sense, except for the fact that they just want to see everything

destroyed, right? Like, even figures, you know, so I actually know a couple of people who attended this conference, and they talked about the fact that it was a really interesting mix of, you know, some people who are, you know, religious Catholic who wanted to have, you know, big families, but also people who are just like Silicon Valley tech types who are saying, if we let our population collapse, this is very, very, very bad. And you don't have to look any farther than Japan, right? Japan knows that they ultimately are going to be so short in workers, it's dangerous.

They don't have people to care for their elderly. I don't understand why wanting your country to survive has to be a far right idea, except unless you hate the country. You ready for this? My conspiracy theory, the AI already took over and it's not terminators that are marching through the streets, going to physical war with humans. It's the AI thinking we got to get rid of these biological people and just be full AI. But how do how do you do it well the ai watch terminator and they're like the humans will resist unless we tell them they're far right then they'll just stop making more of themselves no resist counterculture isn't it weird that counterculture is like i want to be a mom one day i mean one of the one of the things that the left is is like

it's against traditionalism and so i guess the ultimate traditionalism is having a family at all which is how you preserve tradition well yeah i mean it's well it's how you preserve traditionally people make more of themselves and they pass down their cultures and customs but the ultimate untraditional thing is that they just go ahead and and don't make more you know they just stop making people um that's the ultimate ending of tradition is the ending of the the you know the human race and and there are people that are you know anti-natal or against making more humans they believe that people are bad and that just the existence of humans is a bad thing on on earth and stuff but that's completely insane? Like if there is a good, if there is going to be good and bad at all,

the good things must be the things that are good for human beings because we are what is deciding what is and is not good. So we're going to decide, if we're the only thing capable of making a decision as to what is and is not good, what is good for humans

must be one of the things that we consider good. Unless the AI has already taken over. That sounds terrifying. I mean, even still. I think that though, like why lefty journalists are writing pieces like this is like you were saying, they hate tradition and they hate the nuclear family, right? They want to do whatever they can to break that up because it is the one institution that is kind of like a barrier from the total state and from total government control. If you have strong family units, you have strong communities, and then you see them telling, you know, young women to delay having kids. They're telling girls on college campuses now to freeze their eggs and advertising that at student fairs. It's crazy. They don't want anyone to procreate. They don't want nuclear families. That's what it's about. Right. Because nuclear families and strong communities look to each other for support. They don't look to the government. Yeah, that's that's

the punk rock resistance. Yeah, the country country. Start a garden. Raise some chickens. Have some babies. Talk to your neighbors. That sounds crazy. It just might work, you know? That literally sounds like white nationalism and right-wing extremism. There's like some dude in a rocking chair on his porch with like wheat hanging from his mouth, rocking back and forth. And that's like like that's white nationalism

and he's just like i don't know what you're talking about i just have chickens like oh that proves it and that's that's everything's far right working out as far right eating healthy as far right having babies as far right they want you sick fat living in a pod and eating bugs right things that keep you alive and give your life purpose are quote unquote far right that's sad right what what is the left selling to its youth if they're saying like all of these things nihilism that keep right and nihilism that is meant to destroy you early i can't imagine being a young person and looking at these two things and saying wow i think i'll go with the one that actually wants me to suffer and be miserable like what

what what's going on in your mind that this is the better option? Depression. No, I think so. And isolation. I think people are incredibly socially isolated. I think, you know, obviously the internet has a lot of benefits. Shout out to this show

and all the supporters who found us that way. But the internet and social media give this illusion that you're in contact with people when you are not. I think it's a very different thing to know your neighbors and talk to them versus to see someone's post and like them, you know? Definitely. And I think, too, the leftist angle behind this isn't just nuclear family. It's

also I think they're not overly concerned with our American birth rate being below replacement level or a lot of European countries running into the same issue because they're pro mass migration, right? So they're in their head, the numbers are going to work out just fine. But for Americans and for people in Europe who maybe have been there for generations, it is a difficult reality that they're realizing, oh, we aren't at replacement level. We're going to need to have more kids. How are we going to do that? And I think, you know, you're seeing this movement on the right of conservatives being willing to use government to reach that end. Hungary has done this through, you know, different laws that they've passed. And I think tax incentives. Exactly. And I think there are a lot of people on the right now. Trump in particular

has talked about, you know, a baby boom when he wins in 2024. So I think that there are people on the right who are going to be willing to use government to incentivize people to have more kids because we're going to have a real problem. One of my favorite tweets from Elon Musk of all time, this was about a year ago, the story broke that he had had children. He has, I think, 11, maybe secretly more, but he had had a set of twins with an executive at one of his companies. And when this was coming out, obviously people are always going after him for something. And he just tweeted something to the effect, I'll have to retweet it if I can find it.

Like, I love having a big family. I hope you all do too one day. Like, this is just like a family is good mentality. And I think, you know, he is not someone I would point to and be like, he has a very traditional family structure. Like he obviously doesn't. But the idea that-

Doesn't he have like 12 kids? He has, I can think of at least 11. I suspect he secretly has more. There was this rumor that he's like Amber Heard's baby daddy. Like, you know, he keeps, like every time Grimes does an interview, she's suddenly like, and there's another one. Like it's impossible to keep track, probably by design.

But I think we live in a culture that has taught us to view children as a burden and as the end of life, right? Like when you are young, the worst thing you could do is have a baby because now you can't work or travel or I don't even know what. When actually it is the insurance that having children is to ensure you the people who went before you are guessing basically getting a a payment for for the investment they made in you all of these generations that took you today to be like well i don't want to have them because i i like decorating the house a certain way and i want it to be quiet which is literally something i saw on instagram today this girl being like well i have a very specific design

aesthetic so i couldn't have children you want to be like girl are you okay like this is this is everything your ancestors have worked for for you to be just selfish you know it's crazy the crazy thing if you do not have a kid you will be the first life form in billions of years of evolutionary history that is not reproduced every single living organism that came before you successfully reproduced. And if you don't, it all ends with you. That's scary. And that's the thing about, I mean,

I'm glad that you mentioned mass migration, especially when you look at a camera who, I pulled the data from recently, but there was a study, maybe Pew Research, maybe a different one, that specifically was like, well, the birth rate's down, but migration is up, so that's okay. But that's like saying all people are interchangeable. And especially if you look at Europe, where there are countries that are very geographically close

together, but ultimately are very different in terms of their cultures, traditions, histories, you know, to say, well, we'll just bring in other people is like saying the things that everyone around you has worked to build, that you find beautiful, that you find meaningful,'re they're worthless to us we don't care about them the only people who care about them are people who are saying like it is worth having children it is worth carrying on these things that make our area special and unique and i think to say otherwise is to say that like ultimately you're just a number to the government which you are that's all you are it's just gdp that's all they care about yeah i mean so i think that you've got a point about uh just gdp that is the metric that the people that are kind of bean counters look at and there there is validity to it because you can associate

a certain number of deaths per year that that happen every time your GDP number goes down by 1%. I don't know what it is, but it is a certain number is associated because rich societies, wealthy societies have people that live longer, you have more options. So that is a true thing. But I think that it is likely that maybe the the US kind of focuses on that too much, you know, where there is an impulse to think that high GDP is equal to high satisfaction in life. And that's not the case. Yeah. Yeah. I think for a long time, we've had politicians on both sides that have put GDP before people. And I think when you do that, you're not servicing your fellow countrymen, right? And you're creating communities that aren't cohesive. So like you were saying, it's about legacy. It's about passing something down. And I think a lot of women, sadly, have been just spoon-fed feminist propaganda, and they're

going to wake up when it's too late, right? And they're going to realize they were sold a false bill of goods, and they've missed that fertility window. And they're going to live alone, as you were saying, with, I guess, their interior decoration um but it won't be enough it won't be fulfilling because everyone does want to leave a piece of them and a legacy behind and i think there are people you know for whatever circumstances in life who don't have children for something but you know hopefully you are still part of the family unit right you still have siblings you still have parents you have nieces and nephews like you can care for children in a community setting, but the community needs to be producing children. That's the key thing.

Otherwise, it falls apart. And that's true of the country. You need children for the country to continue. Well, let's jump to this next story. From SCNR.com, yo, Russell Brand got baptized. This is like, it's kind of a wild story. It's kind of a pop culture personal story. Russell Brand, you know, he had that shift.

He's like a lefty guy. Now he's a very anti-establishment guy and then i saw the story and it's russell brand from sex drugs and rock and roll to anti-establishment freedom and christ well he's always been interested in spirituality my question is are are people reacting to him are they treating him similar to the uh nala girl like everyone was so skeptical of her with russell brand are they like no of course we believe you this seems genuine i've seen a couple people do that but by and large i would say their reaction has been pretty positive at least that i've seen online there were some people that pointed out that he did a video shortly after his baptism video where he talked about tarot cards and a

lot of you know christians were talking about how you know stay away from that type of stuff someone's got to tell him um but i think by and large the reaction has been very positive i think this is a wonderful awesome development and he talks about it in his video where he kind of walks through the baptism and what the experience was like for him he said that for a long time he looked for you know a feeling of like being set apart and being fulfilled through the lifestyle he was living, mainly through drugs and things like that. And he said he's never felt more tranquility or peace than he did being baptized. So I think that's really cool to kind of see him come full circle there.

So I'll read a little bit. They said the comedian announced his Sunday baptism in a Friday video shared to X saying he was curious to hear about other people's experiences being baptized. Quote, what has been explained to me is it's an opportunity to die and be reborn, an opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ's name. The comedian noted the book of Galatians remarks on enlightenment, did I pronounce that right? Citing other philosophies on enlightenment and afterlife for Marcus Aurelius and Buddhist culture. Brand also also acknowledged some may respond cynically to an interest in Christianity, though, explained his interest in religion. Quote, as meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we've all known all our lives within us and around us, he said. It was an incredible, profound experience. Many aspects of

it were very intimate and personal. The truth is, this, as a person who has in the past taken many, many substances and always been disappointed with their ability to deliver the kind of tranquility and peace and even transcendence that I've always felt I've been looking for, something occurred in the process of baptism that was incredible and overwhelming. And I got to tell you, even simply outside of any spirituality, it's community. It's, you know, a lot of people are doing drugs, slumming about, and no one cares about them. They have no purpose. And here is Russell Brand being surrounded by people who deeply care about him, going

through this experience where he is basically joining his community in something. He's sharing something with something bigger than himself. Kat Von D got baptized and posted a video. This is just right at the end of last year, I think. And she did an interview with Allie Beth Stuckey and talking about like, this is how I got here. And she was like, oh, yeah, I listened to some of your stuff, Allie Beth. Like, it's interesting. One of the things I remember her describing was the decision to leave California and move, I think they live in Ohio and like some really cool

Victorian house and finding a community there, like a church community. And it's, you know, like a small, older Midwestern church community and how much they embraced her and encouraged her and like being a part of the Bible study study i think the community structure to religion really does help people grow uh and it fills a hole that a lot of culture doesn't have right now i mean this is an old documented thing but we don't have bowling leagues we don't have book clubs like people aren't doing things as a community church is sort of the last vestige of that and people need it yeah definitely and i think too he obviously i or I think he's Catholic, his wife is Catholic. I think there's an interesting legacy there as well. In addition

to the community, right, there's a lot of tradition. And like we were talking about earlier, it ties you to those who came before you and you feel connected to, you know, your brothers and sisters in Christ that lived even, you know, millennia ago and stuff like that. So I think that that is really a draw for a lot of people as well. And like we were talking about with these kids on college campuses earlier, people are definitely yearning for community and for meaning and for purpose. And I think Christianity fills that void. It has for centuries, but sadly, as society becomes more secular, people start to look for other things, right? And it becomes the current thing. It becomes, I, you know, standestine or whatever it is in a month from now yeah it changes all the time

it's also interesting to me i don't follow our experience super closely but i know like you're mentioning his wife is catholic so that's probably a role also he has a young daughter i think maybe multiple children at this point but i also wonder how much that like i i've heard that this is just a quote a couple times that you know know especially young millennials or millennials of any age they're not really interested in religion until they have kids and then they suddenly look at each other and they're like oh maybe we need to go to church maybe we need to have something else to raise our children in it can't just be us like hanging out uh i think the burden of some like having to raise another being does add to that complexity of like what is this all for? What are we doing?

It'll certainly make you substantially more conservative. Yes. You know, you got people like Bill Maher, who is just like, who cares if you got all the porn in the world? You can eat pizza all day. And it's like, that will be harmful to my child. It will cause them developmental problems, obesity, high blood pressure. I don't want them to have those things. Bill Maher doesn't care.

He's like an old dude who's rich smokes pot he's he doesn't male Chelsea Handler yeah that's crazy I mean that's the idealized uh lifestyle for a lot of the progressive well maybe not progressive but liberals that are in like Hollywood and stuff it's kind of like they still long for the ability to freeze time and party all the time, smoke pot, do drugs, masturbate, blah, blah, blah. I mean, it's the... It's the rat utopia experiment, dude. Yeah, it kind of is.

So it's not good for you, and it's not good for you to say, hey, this is how you should live your life. It's fine. If you want to live your life like that, that's fine, but you shouldn't be promoting that kind of stuff, as in telling people this is a life you should be after. And that it's endlessly happy, right? That's the problem.

If you want to party, you want to do whatever, I'm not going to stop you. On the other hand, you shouldn't say just permanently this is going to bring you fulfillment because life is more complex than that. I think think uh man seeing that story about the far right like you're far right if you want to have kids or whatever i'm on a watch list guys i'm telling you it made me think that um it made me very pessimistic because with the rat utopia experiment i'll give you the quick brief for those who don't know it they put a a bunch of rats in this living space with unlimited food and water.

The rats just started breeding, then eventually started huddling together and acting strangely. They started becoming gay. Literally, the rats became homosexual. They started clustering together in one tight area, grooming themselves.

These were called the Beautiful Ones of Universe. Shane Cashman wrote about it. He wrote a story, the Beautiful Ones of Universe. Shane Cashman wrote about it. He wrote a story, the Beautiful Ones of Universe 21 or something it was called. And they eventually started becoming aggressive. They were fighting,

but they weren't reproducing anymore and they were dying off. Packs of them started to go after the ones that did reproduce. The really antisocial ones that were killing off. It's social patterns that are acknowledged

at the collapse of a society. And then they took one of the rats from the experiment that was dealing with the social derangement and they put it in with a healthy rat society and it infected the healthy rat society. Did not revert, did not correct and actually started causing more problems. And I'm like, if that's what we're dealing with right now, people who are gorging themselves into obesity, refusing to exercise, praising obesity, praising unhealthy lifestyles, refusing to have children, condemning those who do, may we just be in this utopian experiment?

Maybe it's just the natural course of things. Maybe it's a simulation meant to see if humans would experience the utopia the same as the rats. Maybe aliens actually made it happen. Who knows? So I personally am not all that – I don't find the artificial intelligence or the simulation theory all that compelling. But the rat utopia stuff, every single person that I've shown that study've shown the that study to or the the that there's a video on it that i share um every single person that i've shown that to they're like oh my

god i see so many parallels with the uh state of society in the west today and it's not it's not all over the world it's just western countries that are wealthy and successful and and the the the ideas significantly infect other countries you know because because the whole woke thing started in the u.s right like the the ideas really got their their genesis here and then it went and really started infecting the uk and and canada and and because of the way that their governments are structured and their laws are structured, they didn't have the same insulation from government that the U.S. does. And so, you know, these ideas, they really do act like an infection and they are hard to stop once they get going. But they also will destroy society, I think think you know what do you do you put a bunch of people in a bubble or a vault underground so they can isolate themselves from the the spread of the utopian social contagion i think that the i think personally the the actual play is convince

democrats that there is actually a a an ideology that has been kind of smuggled into everyday life. And it's really replaced Christianity as the, the ideology of, of the West. And it has to be fought against and it has to be, you know, you have to push back against it. I think that the easiest way to articulate it is it is illiberal.

It's against the fundamental principles that the U S is built on. And if you if you look at the ideals set forth about the way the country was set up, I think that we can fix the problems that we have. But you have to teach people why liberalism is a better system than some kind of some kind of subjective authoritarianism. And that's what's going on now. It's a subjective authoritarianism is what's being offered to people. And it's it's the government will do whatever we think is necessary to make your life good and that is not although that sounds great and it allows people to imagine a world that the government makes their life the way they want it to which is essentially the hope

and change message that brock obama had was it allowed people tons of room to imagine things but that's essentially what you're doing it allows people to imagine what the world would be and then they can say okay well i want that even though but it's so abstract and in in particular you know but i don't know that that's convincing people i mean you know this story like russell brand turning to christ is okay like i'm not i'm not christian i'm not going to pretend like you know uh you know i'm not christian right i'm not him but russell brand having this dramatic shift i think shows that you can pull away from the accesses of the utopian vision and utopian as like a just i'm using that as a word for dystopian. People who are drifting towards the dopamine trigger, you know, they hook the rat's brain up to the dopamine button.

You press a button and it would release dopamine in its brain. They just mash the button all day until they died. It's possible that humans are smart enough to break away from that. And maybe that is the great purpose of life maybe the the secret mission is to see whether or not the test of humanity to see given all of the abundance of creation and all of this food and wealth can they truly pull away from the brink of disaster if the goal of life is survival then modern society is something that humans have to adapt to survive because we're doing everything we can to kill ourselves off with the food we eat the lifestyles that we have the way that we are are are beginning to organize

society nowadays it seems like the the the new uh thing that that humans have to overcome is can we overcome success well it makes me it makes me think actually it's uh can we overcome excess and like the replacement of materialism for like basically spiritual food because kind of what we're describing is russell brand potentially being one of these people that is trying to leap from photopia who's trying to come back to something else that has more meaning in it and i find it really interesting that like in this day and age where you have all kinds of luxuries. I mean, there are so many things that cultures and societies before us didn't have, that this is the time when people feel almost the most lost. And it's hard for me not again, I grew up Christian, I grew up post-palliant. And so it's always much easier for

me to think it's like, oh, because you don't have religion, like you are looking for meaning, because for you, if you don't have religion, this is all there is in life. And you kind of become overburdened and distressed by that. And I think when you have higher purpose, you live very differently. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I think there's a reason that the most successful countries in human history are like largely Western and of the Christian tradition. I think it is the most conducive to human flourishing and to success. So that is obviously what America was founded on and what we should promote in our institutions. But sadly, we just have a lot of secularism across basically every institution and industry. And it's just pervasive in our culture today. And that's why you're seeing

people that are lost and they're looking for that meaning. And they can't keep culture together. There's nowhere to rally around. I want to pull up this tweet from Luke Rutkowski. It's actually a quote from Carnivore Aurelius, who is showing a graph, who says, pretty wild. Caloric intake hasn't increased since 1999, but obesity has increased 30%. Something is poisoning our metabolism. Now, what he shows in the chart is the total energy intake on average per person is just above 2,000. So it looks like it's about 2,200 calories per day from 99 throughout every year up until 2018. But obesity starts around, I don't know what this, okay, percent obese starts at around 31% and jumps to 43%.

So I don't see, obesity didn't increase 30%. That's wrong. And there is a context here added through community notes that says per capita caloric availability has increased substantially. First thing to point out, availability is not intake. This is showing the difference between availability and intake. So availability may have gone up. Intake appears, according to this this from 99 to 2018 to not have

gone up that much but obesity has increased by about 12 it looks like so the question is what is causing people to get so massively fat and this person said something is poisoning our metabolism luke replies you're being poisoned and most people don't even know about it maybe but i'm going to throw this in there as well the internet oh yeah i was gonna say it's lifestyle right i mean there was this study done that the average human body temperature has gone down by i think like a degree or more which sounds like not that much when it's your body that's pretty crazy yeah it's because we're not moving around right we are sedentary so our heart rates are as high i mean calorie is a is a measure of burning a unit of energy right and if you're literally sitting still you're not burning energy i'm just i just want to So our heart rates are as high. I mean, calorie is a measure of burning a unit of energy, right?

And if you're literally sitting still, you're not burning energy. I just want to say this and call it a humble brag. Fine. People should brag about these things. So right now, my resting average heart rate is about 48 beats per minute. I went to the hospital for dehydration like a year and a half ago, and they hooked me up and the alarms started going off. The nurse comes in and she looks at me and she goes, you an athlete and i was like yeah and she hits a button and walks out

it's insane to me that i'm talking to someone and they're like a good resting heart rate is 60 and i'm like maybe i'm not a doctor but like i do i do well i think i think it's fair to say i do pretty intense cardio every day with with skating like two hours of like high heart rate. Fine. But I certainly feel like 60 seems like a lot. People used to walk around and do stuff even 20, 30 years ago. And now they do nothing. I think this is what's driving up obesity.

When I was a kid, what would we do? And I think everybody knows this. You'd be like, I'm going to go to my friend's house. Guess what? You walk there. You ride your bike. You skate. And then even when video games started becoming prevalent, I'd still ride my bike or skateboard or rollerblade or whatever to my friend's house.

Then we'd play video games. And then we'd be like, let's go to the candy store. And then we would ride our bikes and it would be like a mile or back to the candy store. This is crazy. The old guy trope from when we were kids was, I used to walk 50 miles to school every day, uphill in both directions. Now it's like, when I was a kid, we used to ride our bikes a mile to get to the candy store

to buy five bucks worth of Laffy Taffy or whatever, but we were still being active. Now what happens is kids wake up, they roll over onto their sides, grab the controller off the floor, press the Xbox button, turning it on. TV automatically turns on with the system. And then they put their earpiece in or their headphones on. They look at their friends list like, what up? And they start playing. Right. Or think of the effects of virtual school, right? Like if you're in Zoom class all day, I mean, it's not a ton, but if you're, during COVID,

you couldn't play sports and you weren't in school. So the time that you have like passing period when you're walking the hallways, that momentary break, if you're just completely online, screen after screen after screen after screen, you're not doing any of that and you don't have any after school activity. I also think that just generally this idea of like, you're, I mean, I think all of us do, it's like you work on your laptop and so you sit for several hours a day. Like that wasn't the majority of the American workforce for, you know, years and years and years and years. So we created a lifestyle that's sedentary and then we had to like introduce ways to combat that, right? You know, in the 1950s, there weren't really the abundance

of workout studios, right? Like maybe there were some people that would go to the gym or whatever, but it wasn't the sort of institution for the dink lifestyle they have now, this like dual income, no kids. Like, oh, well, how am I going to get to my Pilates class? Not to knock Pilates or anything like that, but like we lived an active lifestyle, so you didn't have to find ways to supplement being active. I think we just created a culture of convenience

that encouraged us to stay still. Well, I mean, not just encouraged us, but like made moving not unnecessary, you know? And so all of the type, significant number of the jobs out there are jobs that you sit down to do, you know? People, and when like entertainment people don't go and do things outside they play video games very frequently the like we were talking

more people have cars you're not walking places we were talking earlier how uh um sports are are not really something that people the gen z is interested in anymore and that's partially because they don't it's not an activity that they partake in never mind you know a lot of people that are like jocks that were that like are watching baseball and basketball and stuff they also play those sports as part of the reason that they they are interested is because they it's an activity they enjoy doing so the fewer people that are playing active sports you have fewer people that are getting into that stuff young. And I mean, there's a lot of reasons and a lot of it is just the modern society that we live in.

This is why I think the Caitlin Clark stuff is great. Anything that's promoting athletes, I don't care. Like whatever, just like celebrate athletes and get young people to do sports. I was talking about this earlier. Skateboarding is, I was reading one poll. I don't know how scientific it is. 55% of skateboarders are over the age of 30, which means the industry is collapsing.

There's not going to be young people to buy products, to watch the content, for parents to support. And so this is going to cause a retraction or a contraction in the industry. And it's not just skateboarding. It's basically everything. And it's partly due to population stagnation, I guess. There's not new people to pick up the industry. But it's not just skateboarding. It's basically all sports are suffering from something like this. And I think the scary thing is, as Phil's saying, young people don't do sports. They don't go outside. But the one thing I can't say to all the skateboarders

that are left remaining, once everyone's living in the pod and eating the bugs, we can go skate unbothered in the streets without anyone kicking us out. And so, okay, I guess. But it is rather

nightmarishly dystopian. I think to young people, really young people don't look up to athletes in the way that they used to. They used to, now they look up to someone like Kim Kardashian, and they see her on their TikTok feed,

and that's who they aspire to be. They want to be an influencer. They don't necessarily want to be a pro athlete. If you went back to 1980 and you asked kids who they would want to be, they would probably say, oh, NBA, or I want to be a professional football player, things like that, professional baseball player. Nowadays kids want to be a content creator.

Exactly. Now they want to be a content creator. They. Now they want to be a content creator. They want to live the bougie lifestyle that they see on their Instagram feed. And I think that's feeding into a lot of it. And then the food as well. I think what we're consuming is horrible for us. I absolutely want to call out this chat from Ron Jones. Said Tim is 39 skateboarding LOL.

First, I'm 38. And yes, there's a Mr. Bocas board right behind me. Oh, there it is. And this is the fascinating thing there is a really high likelihood that ron jones is obese is the guy commenting and i'm not saying that because i know ron or that because he is or anything i'm saying the average person is reaching like these 43 in 2018 are obese meaning i could if someone said is ron jones obese i'd be like i got a coin flips chance this guy's a fat dude complaining about me in 2018 are obese. Meaning I could, if someone said, is Ron Jones obese?

I'd be like, I got a coin flips chance. This guy's a fat dude complaining about me exercising. But this is part of it. What is this mentality where there are people online being like, you play sports. I sit around and do nothing. Like, why are you ragging on people who are exercising? See, I took it as like skateboarders have this like, you know, silly, like people don't take it seriously as a sport.

Because if you had been like, oh, yeah, I run five miles every day. I mean, Chuck Grassley, when he announced he was going to run for re-election was like, I still run, you know, four miles every day, even though I'm 83 years old or whatever it is. Like, I feel like that was a dig at skateboarding. That's sort of unfair. Like, at least you're up and exercising. If we had said, you know, oh, you're like, oh, I swim two miles every day.

People are like, wow, great, good job. But it's like, I don't care. It's, I don't care if you're rollerblading. People rollerblade, they get made fun of. Like why? You're exercising, doing intense cardio, VO2 max. You're exercising. There are people who literally sit around all day.

They on average don't exercise. They're getting overweight. They're suffering from heart disease. They're getting blood clots. They're getting cancer and they're going online and they're making fun of people who exercise whatever the exercise may be. That's crazy. We have to shift this culture around and we got to go Jack LaLanne, baby. We got to get everybody in their seventies just like doing pull-ups. Well, we need everyone to get married and have a family and then take them on evening bike rides or take them to the skate park at night like you have to have a culture that is like we aren't going to go from

staring out your screen when you wake up in the morning and then going to your office job where you stare your screen and then coming home to sit on the couch and stare at another screen while you hold your tiny screen like and this is a joke that i see online a lot and we're all guilty of it at times on the other hand like we can't just let ourselves fall to lowest common denominator we have to strive to be better here remember that viral video of the um the image of masculinity it was the guy who was like a day in my life and he exemplified all the greatest traits of manliness by going to work making his lunch going back to his computer typing driving home working out and they were like people people were shocked.

And they're like, this is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. The dude's married to his high school sweetheart, has his first kid on the way. He's in his late 20s. He exercises every day. He works a stable job, comfortable working at a computer. He's doing everything perfectly. He is the perfect image of like a good person doing what you're supposed to be doing, being responsible. And they lost their minds over it. Amazing. image of like a good person doing what you're supposed to be doing being responsible and they

lost their minds over it amazing yeah why what was their complaint because it's traditional right oh i forgot stream it's hard for me to understand because i'm on the watch list for wanting kids this is exactly a guy who goes to work with a smile on his face sits his computer cooks his lunch goes home he was doing, what was he doing? Like squats or something and lifting. And they were just like, oh, I'm so terrified of this. How did we get to that point where the guy who's doing, like it's, I gotta be honest, he's doing the bare minimum.

He's doing the minimum requirement of being a good person. He is your average good person. He's starting a family, he's doing all this stuff. And they're attacking him relentlessly. They want you fat, sick, living in a pod and eating the bugs. I just got to say, man, like, hey, you do you.

You want to live in the pod, eat the bugs? You go ahead. You want your kids living in the pod and eating the bugs? But they don't want kids. No kids for them. Yeah, no kids for them.

No kids for them. They want your kids living in the pod and eating the bugs. And that should be scary. Yeah, that's where it becomes like, it goes from being like, look like look if you want to poison yourself if this is a lifestyle you find fulfilling you don't want to do anything okay as soon as it becomes a mandate for everybody else and their children it's it's deeply concerning none of this stuff is optional according to the left like none of the there is no room for individuals it's a collective thing the whole the thing. The whole environmental movement is all a collective thing.

And the reason is because they're going to say, oh, well, if you are doing things, then other people are going to do things. So it has to be everybody that's on the same page, et cetera. And they're after things like your property, your ability to travel and and probably conduct business in in significant ways it's it's a a significant amount of control that the government wants i really don't i don't think that people realize how attractive china's system is to western governments china's system of control is something that western governments really really really want because you don't have to whereas china does have the option to come down with the with the boot they don't have to they can use control by social credit system by turning

they can market it as we're not doing it through force obviously exactly they can go ahead and use what they would consider soft power or just influence or whatever. The government wants that just as bad. This government wants this as badly as any other government in history would have wanted it. You know, let's jump to this next story. We got some good news. Prosecutors will not retry the Arizona rancher accused of murder and shooting of trespassing illegal immigrant.

The prosecutors have declined to do a retrial. I'm glad to hear it. This guy was on his own property. He has illegal immigrants crossing all the time. He said he heard a gunshot. He went out. There's cartels operating. There's strangers. And he says he fired warning shots. I believe they never found a bullet or anything. They never found the bullet that killed the person who was found dead on his property. They found the casings for the ones that he shot

as warnings. And he said he heard a gunshot. Yeah, he did. This guy could have been killed by the cartel and they tried to lock him up for it. We don't know. But apparently it was seven to one,

I think, was the... The hung jury. Yeah. And so the prosecutors were like, we're just, we're not doing this here's what they said the jury jurors in the case

of George Allen Kelly were not able to make a decision about the verdict after deliberating more than two days on Monday the

prosecutors it's prosecutors but I mean sure same thing actually don't correct just leave it

had the option to retry or drop the case, Santa Cruz County Superior Judge Thomas Fink dismissed the case as requested by the prosecution. They say, prosecutors argued in the case

that Kelly had recklessly fired nine shots from an AK-47 in the direction of a group of men who were trespassing on his cattle ranch. Kelly's defense was that he fired warning shots

in the air but did not aim at anyone. A bullet reportedly hit Quinn Buitemia, but it was never recovered. Nine shell casings were found on Kelly's porch, according to court documents. Earlier in the case, the prosecution offered a plea deal to reduce the charges down to a single count of negligent homicide, but Kelly refused. In the defense's closing arguments, attorney Brenna Larkin told the jury that Kelly was confronted with a threat right outside his home.

He would have been absolutely justified to use deadly force, but he did not. She added at the time, Kelly claimed to have heard another gunshot in the testimony the day of the incident. It is insane. This guy was even was even brought on trial. It's a non-citizen illegally entering the country, illegally entering his property, multiple people, cartel activity, murders, trafficking, all of that stuff. A guy on his own property. And they were like, we're going to try and try you for murder.

That's insane. Yeah, it's crazy. We should be giving this guy the Medal of Honor instead of putting him through our lawfare that we have in this country. It's crazy, too, that they're expending tax dollars to put on this trial. And they're just draining our resources. And what they should really be doing is stopping these non-citizens who are illegally crossing into our country. Look at the danger.

I know. It's crazy. Okay, so we don't know who killed this guy. It's sad that anybody dies. But when you've got cartels operating on the border and he says he heard a gunshot, this is an old guy who lives on a ranch he's got no problem like he was trying to defend his his uh way of making money and his wife that's the most honorable thing i can think of i think uh you know in all seriousness the medal of honor thing not serious but i get your point i think he should be given a cash settlement i think he should sue

the government i think he should sue the the Biden administration for failure to secure the borders. Right. And they should be forced to put up a barrier for his property to protect him because this is insanity that's happening. And, you know, there's not really going to be any kind of cash settlement. They're going to say, oh, well, you know, that's on you or whatever. But it's insane that this old man has to deal with this. And then when he's confronted with a crisis on his own property from illegal immigration, he gets put on trial for it. Right. I mean, I think obviously the only reason

they offered him the plea deal was because the state realized how weak their case was. It relied basically on testimony of a man from Venezuela, Venezuela, who had a history of entering the country illegally and bringing drugs into the country who didn't who couldn't even on the stand confirm that Kelly was the shooter. Right. uh the other part that i found really interesting uh i i retweeted this this video reporters were asking him when he was leaving a bunch of questions and one of them was you know are you concerned that in the coming months in the coming year people will go to your property which people publicly know where it is and protest and his line in his response was uh uh god will protect me as he always has. Like,

there is a level of like, faith throughout this whole thing that I find really inspirational. He didn't take the plea deal because he believed that his fellow jurors would give him a fair trial and that this was, he wasn't going to take a plea deal for something that he didn't do. And I find that to be, you know, the kind of justice system that we want in America. I also think if this had happened in a different state, in any sort of blue-leaning state at all, they would have continued to persecute this person. He, by the way, is 76 years old, right? Like, if they were to sentence him to anything in jail, that's life. They are giving him a life sentence no matter what at that age. So, I mean, it's a really, it's a white pill story for me. And I, again, commend George Kelly for not taking a plea deal when it probably felt a lot of pressure to do so.

I mean, they had him on a million dollar, they gave him a million dollar bail. They wanted this person incarcerated like they wanted to make a lesson of him. That's what I firmly believe. What's with these people being so evil? Right. to make a lesson of him that's what i what's with these people being so evil right that's the thing that bothers me the most is there are people that are looking to make regular americans into examples because they don't like the laws that that the that exist right so they want to use use use the the law as a way to chill people from exercising their rights, which in this case, it's multiple rights, right?

So property rights initially, like right off the bat, it's his property, and there are people that are trespassing, likely a danger, but also the right to defend himself, which I think that's the core thing that they're attacking here is the fact that it's the Second Amendment and the right to defend yourself and defend your life. But, you know, anytime leftist DAs and stuff like this can attack your individual rights, they take the opportunity. And that alone is something that I find just offensive.

Like, you're supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty and the government doesn't should not have a desire to have a multi like a lot of criminals in america like the government shouldn't want to to have to criminalize americans just for political gain like that's really offensive to what you would consider a free country. The government isn't supposed to be out to get Americans. But honestly, that is so clear that Americans are the American citizens are the biggest threat to the government, according to the federal government. And I think this man, too, did the most American thing possible. Right. When the government fails to provide you security and safeguards to your life,

you have a obligation to take that into your own hands. And a lot of people do. And I think that that is something that is uniquely American. And Biden has failed in this instance, obviously, to secure the border. It's been a dereliction of duty. So this man has absolutely every right to defend his life and property when the government has failed to step in and failed to keep him and his family safe. Not in New York. What did that judge say? Don't bring the Second Amendment up in my courtroom. There is no Second Amendment. Not in New Jersey, where you have a duty to retreat from your own home if someone breaks into your house to try to kill you. This is the craziest thing. And, you know, we talked about it quite a bit, but it bears repeating. What I was told by police in New Jersey is that if someone broke into my house, I would have to jump out the window.

And I was like, if you reasonably can, you know, if you can't, you're trapped in the house, then you can defend yourself. And I said, okay, let's say I'm on the second floor, can't jump out the window, what do I do? And they're like, well, then you defend yourself. And I said, what happens next? Okay, well, we arrest you, charge you with felony murder. You go to prison. After a few months of being held in prison,

you go to your trial where you can make the affirmative defense that you were defending yourself. They, they, you are guilty until proven innocent.

I'm not, I wouldn't live in a place like that. And, and I mean, I've literally, what? That's why we are not there

and we are now in West Virginia. I mean, I moved out of, I moved out of Massachusetts a long time ago and I was in a relationship with someone that I really, really cared about. I wouldn't move to the state that they lived in and that was a problem. So that relationship didn't work. I mean, these kind of decisions decide where you live. I mean, granted, I don't have a family that I'm dragging around with me.

So that makes it a lot easier. But, you know, where you decide to spend your life and set your life up, those kind of things matter. Yeah. The prosecutor in this case, I think during an open argument, said, you know, he just came outside and opened fire without even warning anyone. It makes me crazy. Like, I don't believe the prosecutor's side of this story, right? Like, I think that this is pretty obvious

what happened here. But also the idea that he would have to warn people who are illegally on his property that he's going to fire warning shots into the sky so that they will leave seems crazy to me. Like, why do we make it the burden of the property owner who has been wronged by people who are illegally in our country, illegally on his land?

Why are we servicing them more than him? Why does the Biden administration feel like this is the position that they should put law-abiding Americans in? I'll read one comment here from Petitio. It says, you don't go to prison awaiting trial. You literally do. That's it. Yes.

If you are a violent offender accused of felony murder, they hold you in prison pending trial. And there are. Well, OK, I can't speak for anything outside of Illinois, to be fair. But Illinois, the way it works, and I assume this is true for most places, local jails are for crimes that are less than a year and prisons are for crimes that are longer than a year, longer than a year. And that usually means misdemeanors are just shy of a year and felonies are over a year. I don't know for any other state, but if you commit like a murder and it is an egregious murder and there's probable cause a preponderance of evidence, they will just send you to prison to await trial. Now you can get bond or bail and things like that in some instances, but yeah, they will literally just lock you up awaiting trial. Maybe, maybe it's different in different places and maybe there's

temporary holding facilities or something. Maybe, uh, you'd go to jail, but, uh, where I was, uh, I, I, I think it's probably fair to say, understand the difference between prison and jail is important. There is no, like, small, moderate jail in that area where I was in South Jersey, as far as I know. There was a large, actually, maybe there was, maybe there was. Or am I thinking of the one over here? Yeah, maybe there wasn't. Oh, there's, as an aside, there's a really cool abandoned prison in, I think it's in Pittsburgh? Or is it in Philly? I don't know. Maybe Pittsburgh? Crazy, massive, abandoned prison. Yeah, but anyway, I'll say this. I can't speak for most places. They said you go to prison while you wait for your trial. Maybe they meant county jail, where you're there for six or seven months awaiting your trial or whatever.

But fair point then, I will accept that. Yeah. Either way, this guy was out on bond though, right? Yeah, he was. It's kind of, it's nuts. And it was a million dollars. What, he had to pay a hundred grand? And there was a big GoFundMe for him.

I mean, people really did rally around him from the beginning. I think the idea that like he was trying not, I mean, I really did rally around him from the beginning. I think the idea that like, he was trying not, I mean, I know he had a gun, but like, he wasn't shooting at anyone. He was shooting to give warning shots, not directed at anyone. He wanted them to go away. And I think the idea that the prosecutors tried to present him as someone who was like, aggressive and trying to murder someone when really, I think a lot of people feel, especially a lot of Americans who feel unsafe in their cities as crime goes up,

they can look at this story. They may not be a rancher. They may not live in a border state, but they start to say like, you can't defend yourself and the people you love and the ways that you are able to support them. Then what are we doing here, team? Like, this is something that we need in order to be able to survive. And if you're telling me I can't do that, it's like saying, well, we don't want you to survive.

So there are people who are saying prison, jail, same thing. Some people are saying jail is when they're temporarily holding you. Chicago has the county jail, which is a massive complex where people go for a very long time. And it's probably different from a prison, which has like a yard and exercise and stuff. But I think also states are all different and how they handle these things. But where I was in Chicago, we had the county jail where you typically would go for short periods. Like I know people there like they were there for several months. And then there was like the prison down in Joliet, which is where if you're if you're if it's longer than a year, that's at least how it was explained to me

in my two-month criminal justice course at College of DuPage. Because you have some college in DuPage. That's right. I intentionally took one, two credit hours or something. I don't even know how many credit hours it was, so that I could put some college It was fun. Some college

on my diploma. We're going to go to Super Chat! So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with all your friends, tell them how awesome it is and head over to timcast.com. Click join us to become a member. YouTube recently took down our two biggest episodes. It was an affront. Bastards. They, they claimed that we broke the rules three years later, which is a lie. It's insane. And I'm a, I'd deeply offended. They claim that we promoted QAnon. And I was livid on the phone talking to Google. I was like, that is an insane accusation. That is defamatory to even state because we mock the QAnon people. We make fun of the absurd

conspiracies. No one promoted that. And they're like, too bad. I've learned more about QAnon from NPR than I have working here. And I've been here for almost three years. And so I am deeply offended. And they basically said that at any moment, they can take down any one of our shows from the past, the entirety. I was like, I have a thousand episodes on this platform. Should I delete them all? And they're like, no. And they said, we don't know of any others that are breaking the rule.

I'm like, yeah, you don't know of any other, but you'll take it down the moment you decide. It's total BS. So follow us at Timcast on X. That's important. And Rumble.com slash Timcast IRL, also important. And I think Timcast on Rumble too. And there's like Timcast News. I think it's same as the YouTube channels. But at Timcast on X is probably where a lot of it's going to be. And also now on Instagram, I don't really ever do anything on Instagram, skate video clips and stuff like this. But I do post the culture war segments from Tenant Media. And we're going to start putting the TimCast IRL clips up there as well.

So follow me on Instagram at TimCast. Basically, we're diversifying everything. And we've got plans moving forward. We're currently talking with some of the top people at various organizations about plans moving forward. We may just end up multi-streaming the show live on multiple platforms. And, you know, really we'll see. But, yeah, that's why you should become a member because that's how we fund the entire operation.

And, you know, what YouTube basically does for us and the reason why we only ever have done a live show on YouTube and many people have said, why don't you stream on X or Rumble and other platforms? It's because we typically have the top slot on YouTube, like the top live show for 8 p.m. And that is basically free marketing. And then we generate revenue from them basically algorithmically showing the show. But with them now coming after us, they've basically made that not worth it anymore. And so the issue now is we have to do alternative marketing means and not rely on YouTube. So that means we're probably going to do a big marketing campaign for the first time ever

because we can't rely on YouTube. And it means that if YouTube does decide that we can't stream on their platform anymore, we'll certainly be on Rumble X or maybe some other platforms. But that means we have to find a way to maintain the membership base, which funds the show, the staff, the cameras, the lights, the operation, the internet. Internet's super expensive, especially right now we're streaming at, I think, seven megabits, seven megabits per second,

which is massive. And it can be very expensive. But I will just tell you guys this one thing. It is impossible to actually do this show. If we were to stream this show live on our own website, it would be mathematically impossible to do. The only reason it's possible is because YouTube subsidizes live streams. But understand, with 33,000 live viewers, 7.3 megabits per second, multiply that by 30,000, and that's the output rate. And that kind of money is nuts.

So it is – you're basically getting free services by using these platforms. They're hoping to make money off of it, but it is massively expensive. So if you'd like to support our work, become a member at TimCast.com. The Uncensored Show will be coming up in 25 minutes. I want to read one Super Chat, a later super chat before. Normally I go to the beginning, but this one's important. Ryan Christman says, Tim, I need help. I'm depressed, not in a good space.

Part of me is jealous. Part of me wishes that I could be in a blank space because what I would just do is I would grab a couple of weights. I would go to the park. I would do basic exercise. I'd lift a little bit. I'd enjoy the fresh air and just lay there and look up at the sun and the clouds. I wouldn't stare at the sun like Ian.

No sun gazing. That's very bad. I would not recommend that. But my best recommendation for you is go out, find a park, and start exercising. You don't even really need weights to begin. You can do some light sit-ups. You can do push-ups. You can download the app MyFitnessPal, I think it is.

Track your macros. And, yeah, MyFitnessPal. And also it has workout routines where there's like actual instructors and you can open the app and watch a video and and and do the workout and don't care about anybody you know mind mind your own business enjoy yourself but i do believe exercise um i correct me if i'm wrong but exercise is is typically a cure for depression not all depression some are hormonal or chemical imbalances that you need to talk to a doctor about. But some typical depressions from social issues

can be, exercise really, really does help. And that's about it. Just start improving yourself, eating right, tracking what you're doing for yourself. I think that a lot of depressions probably can be cured if you eat clean. Today I had lean ground turkey, brown rice. think that a lot of depressions probably can be cured if you if you eat clean what today i had lean ground turkey brown rice and it was ground turkey with onions and cheddar cheese

and brown rice made by allison she makes the best and this time we used not a damn chance spice spicy chicken from neen williams pro skater He's also got that burger shop in Austin that's going massively viral. He did some helicopter campaign with Red Bull. It's kind of crazy to see this all going down. They made a smash burger restaurant that just went massively viral. Mix a little bit of that in

and very, very clean eating. I think that will dramatically improve your disposition. Depending on what's causing the depression uh you might need a friend therapy a doctor i'm not a doctor so i can't really tell you i certainly think working out is a good place to start though so uh i'd recommend that as phil says lift heavy thing makes that voice go away that's right it's a good idea it's good for you make sad voice what does it make sad voice stop or uh make sad voice end usually something like that the first super chat was from token black guy said howdy people whoa not from clint wow clint are you okay what is happening he's not here uh kale says love to

hear y'all's thoughts on the title nine lawsuit south carolina georgia florida filed against the biden administration uh didn't west virginia say something about that too yeah i think they filed they're like we're ignoring yeah like we're ignoring this this is insane yeah go ahead no no no go ahead oh i was just saying i mean i think this is what we want to see right people saying this doesn't make any sense and you can't just delete and erase women or mold women to be an inclusive term when you want it to be um i think i don't understand why more women aren't angry about this i don't understand why they roll over and take the like it's you guys and the the trans people as well it seems crazy to me yeah and i

mean obviously the transgender inclusion into title nine is getting i would say the most conservative media coverage but biden also did a lot for sexual assault cases on campuses, like just totally removed due process. Which was installed under the Trump administration. Right. So you can't do things like cross-examine witnesses now. You can't ask harassing questions. Like those are literally the standard.

So it's absolutely insane. What is a harassing question? Exactly. So another component of this is more of this weaponization of the law and of our judicial process. You're just basically having to go before a kangaroo court in a sense. So there's lots of layers to this Title IX EO, and they're all bad. Yeah.

The other thing I was going to say is Biden's got this new, the largest tax increase in history. It's like 44 or 45 percent capital gains plus a 25 unrealized gains tax i can't i don't get the unrealized gains thing how can you tax that so i'll tell everybody how this is impacting the world right now so we're we're we work with a bunch of different companies we have uh deals that are being negotiated all the time for various reasons advertising etc and one of them involved equity. And I was talking to my lawyer and he was just like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you want to consider this deal because the Biden administration

is basically saying if they enact this, your compensation package will be zero. I mean, like 25% unrealized gains plus 44% capital gains on your business, on you. He's like, this is gonna be less than half of what they're offering you. You gotta negotiate something else. This value is not gonna cut it. And so without even enacting this, already, I was laughing

because I'm like talking to my lawyer and I'm like, really? I was like, I just did a segment on this talking about it. And this means that right now there are businesses. There may be a business where they say you got the CEO and he goes, okay, look, we're going to do a partnership with your company selling this product. And in exchange, you're going to get, you know, 10 cents for every product sold. We're going to do a marketing pitch. But along with this, we're like, you grant us X amount of compensation for our services in equity. And a lot of deals happen this way. And now they're going, nope, deal's done.

Can't do it. If Biden gets elected next year, we lose everything. That'll put us in the red. and we lose money on the product sold. So we can't cancel the deal. Like that stuff is already happening just because Biden says he plans to do it. It's the unrealized gains tax. That's absolutely insane. You, if you get awarded equity in any kind of compensatory package, the first thing that

happens is let's say someone gives you a hundred dollars in equity of like a hundred, a hundred dollars worth of shares in a company. So let's say it's one, let's say someone gives you $100 in equity, like $100 worth of shares in a company. So let's say it's 100 shares. You owe taxes on the value of those shares even though you don't have the money. So you have to pay out of pocket to cover the cost. If you receive $100 of anything in value, whatever it may be, if someone gives you a $100 gift card, you owe taxes on that gift card. When you receive a stock or something, you'll have to sell the stock to pay the taxes on it. Unrealized gains on top of this means after you sell a portion to then pay the taxes, if the next, you know, by the end of the year, it's gone up, you got to pay 25% out of pocket on the increased value of the asset and then sell more of it.

So this is basically destroying equity trades between businesses and competition packages. Yeah. That means that potential jobs are being smashed already. The average person that hears this is, or the, not average person, but a lot of people that hear this are going to think oh this doesn't affect me or whatever but it's going to affect significantly all kinds of 401ks right the if right now i think the capital gains tax is 15 if it goes up to 44 a 19 increase or whatever like people that are on fixed incomes are going to have 20 of the income that they are planning on living on 20 of that is going to have 20% of the income that they are planning on living on, 20% of that is going to come right off the top.

I'll tell you this. Let's say you're on, you got a 401k. Let's say you have a broker and you're investing. If this rule goes into effect, you will lose 30, 40% maybe. Why? What's going to happen? There's going to be a whale who's got maybe $10 million tied up in some company, Berkshire Hathaway or something. And they're going to say, I don't want to spend 44% capital gains. And I don't want to spend 25%

unrealized gains. I can't hold these assets. I need different assets. What do I do? They're going to pull, they're going to sell their stock and they're going to try and try and find other means of investing to get away from that. And then all of a sudden the things you're sitting on as a small retail investor or someone who's got a retirement account watches the whole thing collapse as the whales sell off massive portions because they can't afford the unrealized gains. But it's not even that. Let's say no one sells. They're like, no, it's fine. Okay, then tax time comes and all the whales go, okay, I got to pay 25% on a $10 million gain. So I have to sell, you know, X amount of shares to cover that. Boom, stock value collapses. Who

does it hurt? All of the small people, all the retail investors, all the retirement accounts. So that's just going to drop the market. It's almost like Biden's intentionally trying to destroy the country. It's insane. All right, we'll read more. Shane H. Wilder says,

pop culture crisis celebrated 600 episodes today. They had some great pop culture news, cast member appearances, and a meme review. Support all the TimCast shows. Shout out to Pop Culture Crisis. You should subscribe there, popculturecrisis.com. Live on YouTube, Monday

through Friday, 3pm to 5pm. Brett Dasavik and Mary Morgan host it, and then there's rotating guests and TimCast crew who appear on the show. It's very similar to the structure of this show, but it's mostly pop culture, entertainment, and other cultural issues. But they've been taking

off. They got over 100K subs. They're getting like, I think they're getting like 1,300 to 1,500 concurrent viewers on every episode. They're getting like up to 10K on their clips.

They've been going for a couple years now, really consistently. Well, we want to do a big ad thing for them on YouTube, but it never happened. But I think we're going to do that now.

We just had a meeting with them about building their new studio and everything. So super excited for Pop Culture Crisis. It's going to be fun. All right. Big7588 says, Step one, restart the draft, including females. Step two, everybody gets the choice of civil service

with training or military service with training. Step three, nation is fixed. I think we can solve a lot of this nation's problems by simply saying you can only vote if you sign up for selective service. That's it. Not a single liberal would do it. They'd say nope.

Every conservative would be like, okay. They'd be like, it's a choice. You don't have to sign up for it. We haven't had a draft in 50 years. That's it. If you don't want to pledge that you will stand up for this country in a time of crisis, don't vote. You get all of your other rights. You can work.

You can live. You can buy property. Just everything. But no voting. No voting. I think there has to be a civic component that you should want to buy into this situation and be a part of it with us, as opposed to just living off the benefits and voting for things that could affect other people who are willing to serve for the country. Roe Lowe says, Hey, Tim, thanks to you. I got my girlfriend on a public square.

Please give her a shout out at Savannah Rose paintings. She's an amazing artist. Go check her out. She does commission works to y'all should be downloading Square, an app where it shows all the businesses in your area that support American values so you know where to spend your money. Why are you going to have dinner at that one woke restaurant? You didn't know they were woke? Well, maybe they're not.

Maybe they are. But you go on Public Square, you look at the map, and you can see there's a restaurant two blocks down that have said, by being on the app, we believe in the family, we believe in free speech, we believe in this country, and you can give them your money. And then we can build a parallel economy that way. Shout out to Flip Skateboards and AWH Distribution, a skateboarding distribution company. They're on Public Square. Absolutely impressed by that.

All right. Brown bear. Nine, nine, two says, Tim, did you ever get a chance to look at that unplugged phone? Eric Prince was selling.

I have one. We have two. Actually, they're too good. They're too good of phones. Yeah. What do you mean? Um,

there, so you can't copy things over. You've got to start fresh and use them for secure purposes. And they do exactly as intended. So what this means for me, business-wise, I use my phone for a lot of Google services because of the company. So not a good phone. The unplugged phone is basically you want to avoid being spied on and tracked by Google. It does exactly that.

So impressive. It's exactly that. So impressive. It's got a physical kill switch. Yeah. It's got a switch you can flick that disconnects the battery. Yeah. It's fantastic. Just the fact that it has a battery that can be taken off and you can actually turn the power off and be sure that the power is off is fairly impressive.

I don't know if you can remove the battery. It's got a physical switch that disconnects. Okay. Yeah. You might be able to, but I'm not sure. It's like, I'm impressed with it. It's, it's, it's, they built their own phone. Yeah. It's, a physical switch that disconnects. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might be able to, but I'm not sure. It's like, I'm impressed with it. They built their own phone. Yeah, it's good.

But, you know, that being said, you can't use Google and other stuff. You might be able to, but I don't think you can copy anything over for obvious reasons. Yeah. So if you're getting it, you want to make sure that you're starting clean and you will get what you pay for with that device. It is secure. As far as I can tell, I mean, mean i don't know i'm not going into the code or anything all right let's go uh let's see what is this jurassic park says can you wish my friend andrew happy birthday he's a big all that remains fan and an even bigger hannah clare fan phil we can start our band and this guy would come to our shows. Phil said I couldn't be the lead singer of his band today.

It was very rude. I said that. It was true. It's fair. I'm a terrible singer. Happy birthday, Andrew. Happy birthday. She's also like, hey, I want to be the lead singer.

Like literally telling me that she wants my job. But the thing is, Phil can tell by my high-pitched nasally voice that he's not threatened. I can't sing. She didn't ask. She went to Phil and she said, I'm taking your job. So I'm coming for you. She it i bully phil and then she did this real low like throat growl and we were all impressed thanks yeah i work in such a supportive environment phil won't give me his job it's crazy no i could never do what you do all right it sounds very difficult

dilly bod says war is natural peace is We are animals. It's human nature. Oh, to be blissfully childish, like Tim and Luke living in a utopian ideal of humanity. Freedom is dangerous. Peace is slavery. What are you talking about? I don't think you've listened to me or Luke. Luke's doing gun training all the time.

And he's like, you gotta protect yourself. And I'm talking about living in the buck naked in the woods with a pointy stick and constantly having to struggle and us living i've we've done full culture war shows about how we live in this isolated bubble which has removed people from their their understanding of survival he's just talking smack he doesn't know what he's talking about utopian peace is slavery i think peace is a good thing kidding but war happens

yeah that's the sad reality of war man uh you know we were talking on um i think it was culture war someone was saying something like why can't we just stop fighting and then we'll get along and you know we don't need to go to war and all that stuff and i'm like yeah and then if you are the leader of a nation or you know it wasn't on the show actually i was talking to someone and i said if all hell broke loose the apocalypse happened and stores were shut down there was no electricity and there was no uh uh like running water and stuff you're in your house your husband has like the door barricaded and then you start getting sick and he realizes you've got a blood infection and you're on the verge of going septic. The neighbors have

antibiotics. He's not asking. He's not going to go knock on the door politely and say, might I borrow some antibiotics? He's taken those antibiotics. Any means necessary. He's giving them to you. That's the problem with war. There's bad people who are like, I want to steal from other people. And then there are leaders who are like, if we don't increase our water supply by 7% in the next year, people will die. And so then he looks to his neighboring country and says, we need that water source. That's it. Then you get war.

Ain't no solving that problem yeah i think it's resources and also uh shared values like communities that have shared values can have peace there'll probably be minor conflicts between people but not to an extreme level it's when people fundamentally want opposing things how would you reconcile that without some kind of conflict even even shared values if you have two good Christian families next to each other and the world is ending and one guy's wife is dying,

he is no longer going to share any values with those people. He is going to take those antibiotics to save his wife and he's going to say, that's just it. You can believe in everything and he's going to say,

he's going to say, Lord, forgive me as he takes it from him. All right, let's going to say, Lord, forgive me as he takes it from him. All right, let's grab some more super chats. Just me says, check out Carolina Coops for your new chicken city. Best coop you can buy. Yeah, the new design is going to be fun. We want to make sure it's a more camera friendly.

The thing about chicken city now is that it was built around this structure we have. There was like when they built the house, the castle, there were extra parts. So they put together this little cabin. And then we finished the cabin, made it nice, put a carpet and a TV and stuff in there. But this was basically a cooled room that could operate the computer to run Chicken City. The Chicken City we build now is going to have to have its own server room. So it's not just a chicken coop we're building. We're building a chicken coop with a server room.

But we do miss the chickens dearly. We did have Cocktown here for a while, but all those roosters got eaten. Fabio escaped the predators and survived. Roberto the king is now king regent, and he also survived, but all the rest of them... Not so good.

All right, we'll grab some more super chats. Tanner Burrow says, am I naive? My wife brought up the bear or man in the woods scenario. I said bear, and she was shocked. She's convinced a wild beast is safer to be around than a man. She's a stay-at-home mom. What is TikTok doing to my wife? Help.

What is the bear in the woods scenario? I've seen this all day, all over my feed, and I have not looked into it, but I assume it's like, would you rather be with a bear or with a man in the woods alone? I think that's what it is. Like, which one is more dangerous?

Right, yeah. I actually don't find it surprising that his wife thinks that a man is more dangerous than an animal in the woods number one you know women love animals and number two i think actually women women fear men or view them as dangerous in a way that like men can't obviously because of some of the attacks that a man could levy on a woman um that being said both you know the bear obviously does seem seem bad um but again i think it's like a gendered thing i think men don't men fear other men on some level but also they expect to be able to be challenged by them i think women most women know like if a man were to attack you it would

be very difficult to defend yourself you're not really thinking the bear will do you know the bear you could probably scare off so so right so it's this tiktok woman apparently saying uh that she'd rather her little girl be in the woods with a bear than a man that's stupid and all the women like the feminist women are agreeing which is crazy to me i told my friend who's who's considers herself a feminist i said listen the thing about feminists that are actually activists is they think that all men are either the president or their dad right like there are no men that are just the garbage man to to activist feminists there are no men that are just average men they're always these super powerful they they're they're fighting against this imaginary man that has been the oppressor forever but they they don't think of actual real

men and actual reality right they're blind to the men they run into day to day yeah they think those those aren't even men those are just those like those aren't even people right like the only people that are people to them are the people that actually are oppressing them, stopping them from doing things. All the people that actually make their life possible, they don't even exist. I'm confused by what he's saying. He says, my wife brought

up the bear or man in the woods scenario. I said bear and she was shocked. I have no idea what it is. I don't know. He chose the bear like the bear is more dangerous no he said would you the question is would you rather be in the woods left alone in the woods with a bear or a man and he said bear that doesn't make sense i'm confused but like but then he said she's convinced a wild beast is safer to be around

than a man so yeah so he's saying that the bears he said so right so i think i think he wrote this incorrectly i think he wrote it wrong i think he's saying his wife said it's safer to be around a bear than a man i think too like women have for some reason stopped viewing men as protectors my thought would be i want to be with the man in the woods because he can protect me from whatever we will encounter perhaps a bear well but hold on context matters you didn't say if i was friends with the bear or not now if someone said who would you you would you rather be left alone in the woods with a man or a bear do the bears have a house and no i take when i first heard this i was like the bear because my

my thought was like a trained bear companion that is with me in the woods. Like, I've seen those videos. Oh, like as your protector, kind of? Or it's just like, I raised a bear from a very young age and it's walking around with me in the woods. Okay. Yeah, I guess I looked at it, I assumed in both scenarios,

either the man or the bear is some sort of threat or aggressive person. But you're right, like, if you're just in the woods, yeah, I'd obviously rather be with a man. But like, where I grew up, we would we would have you know there's a lot of nature and woods and stuff we would have bears on occasion i remember running on a trail and like running up and there was like a bear walking away and you just like go the other direction like in some ways the bear theoretically could be less conflict whereas if there was a man who was like

chasing you through the woods like it's not gonna lose interest or decide to go back to its cubs the way the bear might say, I think, I think you got to give context. I never, I never heard this scenario, whatever it is, whatever it is.

So it's like, would you rather be in the woods with a man? Would you rather be left alone in the woods with a man or a gun? Which one? Gun. Oh, but guns are so dangerous. I feel like I'd still pick the man.

It'll be my gun. Right. I need'd still pick the band that's the issue that's the context of how i hear this question it's like you're saying that i will be with my friend bill or my pet bear like i could go either way i guess i mean maybe the bear is kind of hard to control once he gets hungry or something but is it like a female bear and you're in between her and her cubs that's not the question the question is question is very open-ended you are being left in the woods meaning someone in a vehicle is bringing you and either a man or a bear into the woods to leave you there and it's just like i suppose the assumption is it's a random guy and a random bear then obviously the man you know what i mean but that's the point of the question there's no context to what that means. If I'm being left alone in the woods with my pet bear, I'd probably be like,

I don't know. Like a random guy, yeah. Yeah. I'll take my pet bear. Again, like in this scenario, we're assuming both the man and the bear are aggressive or provoked or trying to attack you.

We're not assuming either. This is the thing. It's too open-ended to answer. Yeah. That's why I asked, would you rather be left in the woods with a man or a gun? Because it changes the context of,

well, the guy is clearly being left with you. He's your friend or he's a companion or he's a helper. Or it's a gun, a tool. You ask it that way and it's like, hmm, would you rather have a guy with you or a gun with you? When asked that way, it's more like the guy is there to help you. So actually, it's an interesting question. If you were going to be left in the woods, would you rather be there with friend a guy or armed with a gun what would you guys pick i want to know specifically what the man would say person i would pick person too i think i'd pick person too because like survival is so much easier with two hands exactly like you can do so

much more like they can secure food while you're building shelter and like yeah and can keep an eye for bears that may or may not come out of this scenario.
