It has been 43 days and President Joe Biden has not given a press conference. And I guess there's a video going around where it was posted earlier today. Joe Biden is doing some kind of telepress conference and he says, OK, I'm going to I'm going to take your questions now if that's what I'm supposed to do. And then all of a sudden the camera turns off and then all of a sudden the screen goes to an image that says thanks for joining and that was it no questions allowed and as we were talking about this wondering is this the is this really the biggest news i mean just joe biden calling a lid like he

normally does we noticed something we got jack murphy hanging out what's up everybody good to be here it's every other wednesday night but he was like where's the state of the union address and i was like well it's, it's his inaugural year. It's his first year. I mean, maybe they don't give one, right? So we went back all the way to 1977. That's how long. That's the amount of time where this is unprecedented.

So I don't want to say unprecedented. I say almost unprecedented because in 1977, Jimmy Carter waited until like April 18th to give a speech to the joint session of Congress. We are now on March 3rd. And not only has Joe Biden not given a press conference, not only are they turning off his camera so he can't answer questions, he's not given a State of the Union address. And every president up until 1977 by this time had already done it. Jimmy Carter was the outlier. And every president up until 1977, by this time, had already done it. Jimmy Carter was the outlier. Again, not unprecedented, but just really creepy combined with everything. Now, look, Jimmy Carter giving the State of the Union, I think in April,

made sense simply because it was Gerald Ford before Gerald Ford before him only like three days before he was inaugurated, where he gave an address like right up until the last minute. So it seemed like Carter was like, I should probably wait a little bit, maybe because it's just too many addresses going to the nation. This Joe Biden stuff is pretty creepy. And now we got there's this claim that on March 4th, militia groups are going to storm DC or something. I tell you this, Joe Biden not giving a State of the Union is certainly adding fuel to the fire of these conspiracies. So we're talking about that. We've got some other cultural stories. We got stuff about a Netflix producer claiming the CPAC stage was a Nazi symbol, but now

we know it was actually made by a Democrat. So that's a weird backfiring. And then we have a crazy story. There's an emergency announcement. Birth rates are declining to such an extent it is being called an emergency and a crisis. So we'll talk about these things. As I mentioned, Jack Murphy's hanging out. What's up, everybody? Good to be here. Nice to see everybody.

Sitting in a different chair tonight. Every other Wednesday. Glad to be here. Thanks for having me. You look very clean, Jack. Thank you. Appreciate it. I get a trim up every other Wednesday. Come in here nice and smooth. I never knew until just now. What's up, everybody? Ian Crossland in the house. Good to see you all.

IanCrossland.net. Yeah, and then I am Sarah Patchelitz pushing buttons in the corner as I do. Luke Rudkowski is currently on vacation. He swears he's coming back,

but I'm not sure I believe him. Luke. Because that guy's like, he'll just be like, hey, I'm in Cuba. And it's like, what are you doing down there? It's like,

I'm actually going to Argentina. And it's like, okay. In the you doing down there? It's like, I'm actually going to Argentina. It's like, okay. In the RV, no less. In the RV. Just like on the water. It's impressive. We're going to go through this news. Before we do, head over to TimCast.com and become a member because we have a bunch of

We've a new show coming it's on crime cults mysteries and the paranormal that's going to be with cassandra fairbanks and it's it's going to be like evergreen not super newsy but this is going to get these crazy some of the people were already talking to about coming out and talking about stuff people are going to be like how could you have that person in your house and i'm like yeah it probably a good point, but it's going to be awesome. So make sure that that is all coming and sign up there. But let's let's do this. The first thing I want to show you is a story from Fox News. Biden still hasn't held a press conference after 43 days in office. The subhead for the Fox News article says, I think his people keep him away from the media because they were afraid he might trail off or have difficulty answering basic questions.

Which brings me to this video clip from the first. Check this out. I'm going to play this for you. And I'm happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do, Nance, whatever you want me to do. And just for those listening, the feed just cuts out and then it says thank you for joining so it wasn't an accident there's no way it's as president biden participates in a virtual event with the house democratic caucus it just turns off that's it so again not only has biden not called a press conference eat like apparently his handlers aren't allowing him to do it and i don't

mean handle like some grand conspiracy where he's the Manchurian candidate or something. I mean, literally like the people working with him are like, come on, Biden's time to go to bed. They put him in the wheelchair with the blanket on his lap and he goes, and they cart him away. And this is what we saw today. So it was this clip, Jack's like, you see this clip, check this out.

And then I think you asked about the State of the Union, right? Yeah. And then we just started digging, doing some real investigative journalism over here. Trying to figure out what's really going on. You know, if I got elected president and I had been vice president and I had been the one sitting in the chair up behind the president all those times, listening, applauding like a seal every time the president said standing up when you're supposed to if i had my chance to finally be the guy giving the speech with the two people behind me cheering me on and clapping me on and the whole nation watching and joint session of congress state of the union address i'm the president the united states i'd be trying to schedule that thing day after freaking an honor inauguration

let me pull the dates so we go back to 2017 the first thing was the first question we asked was okay well it's it's his first year in office do they give a state of the union address like within a month of being inaugurated donald trump february 28th 2017 okay that was his first public address it was donald trump's speech to the joint session of congress. All right. Well, Trump did it. So then let's go back to Obama. 2009 Obama speech to joint session of Congress, February 24th.

All right. Well, what about George W. Bush? So we tried searching Wikipedia. Sure enough, there's nothing listed. Why? Because Bush didn't call it a state of the union. But on February 27th, he held an address to the joint session of Congress. All right. Well, let's go back even further. a State of the Union, but on February 27th, he held an address to the Joint Session of Congress. All right, well, let's go back even further. We have Bill Clinton, President's Address to the Joint Session, 1993 State of the Union, February 17th, William J. Clinton Presidential

Library. All right, then we've got February 9th, 1989, Bush Sr. We go back to the Reagan library, February 18th, 1981. And then we stop here. President Carter, 1977, April 20th. But I believe the date is actually listed as April 18th in media. But we have here from the History, Art and Archives. This is house.gov saying April 20th, 1977. That's how far back you have to go in order to find a time where a president has gone this long without giving a State of the Union or joint speech to the joint session of Congress. So again, not unprecedented, just it's been a really long time. In my lifetime, and I'm old. Yeah.

It's been in my lifetime, and I'm old, and it didn't happen. It hasn't happened. Why not? Wouldn't you be excited to do it? Yeah, this is a different generation it's a different time he should be giving youtube making youtube videos if not daily weekly well yes that's of course a social media strategy is something that they all should really be employing and they're not and trump should have been doing that and he didn't however come on i mean he kind of did but it wasn't i wouldn't call it a strategy you know what i mean well i just i wish and and guys in our circle have been calling for this he should have been doing periscopes he should have been doing live streams

he should have been letting people in on the inside and going direct but anyway another topic for conversation jimmy cart or uh uh joe biden here joe biden he i don't think has the stamina to stand up there does he no that's the i think that's it that's why they won't let him answer questions you know why when he said in that video, he's like, I'll take some questions. They're going to go President Biden, and then they're going to call out something like Cuomo. People dead in nursing homes. And he's going to go, oh, drew it on a shot. And then people are going to be like, it's been a while since I've heard his voice.

And when you play that, he sounded just haggard. Who's Nancy? He asked. He's like, I'll take some questions if that's what you want me to do, Nancy. It was the House Democratic. Oh, Nancy Pelosi.

Yeah, maybe she was the one. She was like, cut him off. Isn't she older than he is? She is, but she does seem to be a little bit more lucid than he is. Yeah, she's pretty.

It's all the Botox. I don't know if that's keeping her going but so i think biden got an eye lift is that what that's called yeah yeah faceless probably he got a lot of work done and he's a really old guy well imagine what you know you saw what happened to obama you saw what happened to bush and reagan how the presidency ages people yeah dude it did not age trump i noticed that did It did not age Trump at all, as a matter of fact. If anything, it de-aged him.

But Biden, though, he may just disintegrate. Did you see the, was it the Onion article, I think? Where it was like, presidency ages Biden in first term and it was a picture of like a corpse just totally rotted.

Like the Crypt Keeper from that old HBO show. I don't know, maybe trigger warning. Yeah. Because the image is hilarious. Oh, boy. Do we stress? Oh, my gosh. Pull it up. Stress of presidency already ages Biden 10 years. Literally mummified pay attention. That is a major moment for America, right? And what a time right now we're in. Don't you think with January 6th and we need to heal and all this stuff.

Unify. Unify and get past the election. Don't you think that this, more than ever, should be a time for the president to address everyone, everyone everyone but let's be honest do you really think joe biden getting up before a joint system congress and spouting out truant on a shop of pressure is going to unite people i mean look it's funny i use i use that word because i don't know what else word you use to describe his inability to speak but that one

or batacath care he's gonna get up there and he's gonna be like my fellow my fellow uh mexicans americans my fellow uh uh uh you know the people in the country uh uh but that's but it's state of the union they've got the teleprompters there's no questions we're in a national crisis the cut the city is under siege and occupied there's barbed wire fences around the capital now to take the other counter position perhaps this is and i hate doing this taking the other position perhaps though this is congruent with the state of emergency in the district of col, the National Guard presence, potential threats of March 4th, people storming the Capitol. Maybe it's just too high of a security

risk. But wouldn't they say that? Wouldn't they even just come out and be like, too high of a security risk? We're going to postpone it. Dude, that video creeps me out. The video where Biden's talking and they turn the camera off. I'm like, he's like, I'll do it. I'll take questions. I'll take some questions. Can I please? Can I please? I'm just imagining like he's sitting there and like Xi Jinping is like standing with

his arms crossed by the camera. And then when he's like, I'll answer questions, he goes, and they cut it off. And it's like, I'm kidding about Xi Jinping. I'm just saying like when Joe Biden is on camera saying, I'll do the questions and then someone turns it off. Who? Right. to the questions and then someone turns it off who right just turned the president of these united states off in an address to the democratic congress a caucus who did that who overrode

the president himself that is freaking me out can you imagine if that happened with trump i'll take some questions and people started to turn it off no the joke the joke was you know they turned off andrew yang's mic in the democratic debate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you could watch him. He's talking and he's like, I'm here to talk about universal basic. And they just hear him like very faintly from the other microphones and his mouth is moving. Trump would grab the other person's mic and go, excuse me, excuse me. You don't turn my microphone off.

No, no. Listen, I'm talking. Right. Right. Shut them all down. Right. Biden does not have the fight in him. He turned the cameras off.

Could you imagine the president? Dude, I need to stress this to all of you listening at home. My fellow Americans, the president of the United States was speaking to members of Congress and offered to answer questions. And then abruptly and without any communication from the president, someone disconnected his communications. Who overrode the president? What network was it on?

It was a whitehouse.gov. Wow. Whitehouse.gov turned his camera. I'm going to say right now, in case I'm getting punked, is a video fake. It was posted by a bunch of verified people. It was posted by the first on TV. It's like a tv network so what is this are we being are we being punked right now and this video is gonna go viral

with all these leftists being like how dumb he is he thought it was real i don't know it's congruent which makes it believable that's the scary thing right it's totally congruent outside of that whole scenario the bigger picture is no state of the union address no press conferences nope right it's sad the way he even was like i guess i'll take questions now if that's what i'm supposed to do like what old miserable loose he's obviously clearly not in control no he's not in control of the things he says the way he spends his time the way he can communicate to the american people most likely in his decision making about what politics are doing so So let's tie this together. Remember the Syrian strikes a few days ago?

Yep. Kamala Harris apparently was answering phone calls for him. But apparently Kamala Harris did not even know. She was not told. She was upset that she wasn't in the loop. Right. Who knew? Who made the decision?

Who is controlling Joe Biden? You know, Trump changed some of the laws regarding drone strikes and gave control of that to the military so it could have been people in the military making the decision look at this look at this look at this story veep kamala harris takes foreign calls on behalf of joe biden february 16th jeez something something creepy man and i'll say this i'll say this in the video where joe biden is speaking i'm willing to bet that's a green screen behind him that's right i'm half kidding actually i think it is a green screen but it's not like a nefarious green screen i think it's just because

he's doing a zoom call or something right but it does kind of look like he's sitting at a green screen why did america elect grandpa who should be in a nursing home in New York City because of hatred? Because of their hatred for Donald Trump. They voted for him out of hatred

and now they got an idiot as president. No, he's not an idiot. He's just old. What if the simulation is just breaking? Like, you ever see the Rick and Morty episode

where they turn the simulation computing power down for Jerry to like 5% and then nobody is talking but he believes it like people are saying yes and my man like they're not actually interacting with him but he just thinks it's all real like we're sitting here and joe biden's like i'll answer your questions now the camera turns off and we're like oh that's normal there are

americans thinking that's normal that's the weirdest thing to me what you? You people, you all sitting there listening to this podcast. You people. You people. You podcast listeners. How many of you are sitting there going like, well, that was normal? Is anybody thinking that? Only people who are willingly convincing themselves to believe unreality so that they can get rid of orange man bad all this fits with something that i said here uh back in november which is that the the democratic people were just beaten into

submission yeah and they and now they're willing to accept total insanity oh yeah in order to just relieve the pressure like jennifer rubin right from the washington post the other day she tweets out she's like it's such a great day where i don't have to think about politics on the weekend or whatever i'm sleeping in late i'm sleeping in late so even she is like feeling the relief of not being beaten over the head all day by horrible horrible terrible things and it's like man these what is that this is what are you doing this is the normal jack yeah you wear this thing and it protects you from covid it's like i don't think it has a vet on it yeah can you put it on with the headphones on at the same time? I don't think so, but I'll show you.

Did you see the people with the big green plastic boxes over there? That's the new normal. Don't say people. Say... Pod people. Children. Animals. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Those are children in school, my friend. I just saw two people in the woods with them on. No. So for people who are just listening and can't see. They're like, what's happening? Ian is wearing this weird, like, you got to turn it on. It's a space helmet. It's on now.

You're going to suffocate. It's fogging up. It's venting for me. Ian's wearing this big plastic space helmet dome thing that we have. It's going to protect me from COVID. And a living, apparently. Yeah, that's it. Wow.

That's it. The crazy thing is Joe Biden just said, apparently i at some kind of like uh you know interestingly they're saying he didn't do a press conference but he has answered questions because he was asked about uh by a journalist about how long we're gonna be locked down he said i can't give you an answer but maybe this time next year next year right at the same time greg abbott completely opens up texas mississippi i believe florida is already open. Forget it. It's like, man. Well, let's go back to that point you were making about maybe there's a security issue.

Because we have this story from Bloomberg. Warnings of another Capitol attack raise tensions in Washington. Bloomberg's reporting that law enforcement warnings that a militia group may be plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol on Thursday raise tensions again in Washington and helped prompt the House to cancel plans to meet for votes. That could explain why Joe Biden has not given a State of the Union address, as you mentioned. Quote, We have obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4th, the U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement Wednesday. We are taking the intelligence seriously.

That alert followed a joint intelligence bulletin late Tuesday from the Homeland Security Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about extremists discussing carrying out attacks at the Capitol from March 4th to March 6th. Melissa Smislova, a senior Homeland Security official, told two Senate committees about the threat on Wednesday. The police warning did not give specifics, citing sensitive nature of the information. Now, now, what's this all about? Why is a militia going to be storming in?

Well, Bloomberg says true inauguration day. Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, told CNN on Wednesday that Trump has a responsibility to defuse the threat by telling his supporters to stand down. Quote, this threat is credible, McCall said. It's real. The March 4th timing coincides with the date linked to conspiracy theories about it being the true Inauguration Day. Presidents were sworn in on that date until the 20th Amendment to the Constitution shifted

the ceremony to January 20th in 1933. The warnings also come after Capitol Police and federal law enforcement came under severe criticism for not acting faster on intelligence than that the Jan 6 protests could turn violent. The latest warnings caught many in Washington by surprise because they came after a day, they came out a day after acting Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett told lawmakers that Capitol Police had no indication groups would travel to Washington to protest or commit acts of violence. Now, I'll tell you this. They're saying there's going to be 5,000 National Guard still there. They're keeping the fences and the razor wire. I said nothing was going to happen. I was saying it. I said, I think nothing's going to happen. I think if people do show up, it's going to be a bunch of people waving little American flags

are going to go home like conservatives do. And I published a video on January 6th at 1 p.m. where I was like, nothing's happening. It's boring. Trump is speaking. People are going to go home like conservatives do and i published a video on january 6th at 1 p.m where i was like nothing's happening it's boring trump is speaking people are going to go home the session's happening it's over everybody and then literally when that video went live it was like trump supporters have pushed past the barricade then 110 they're attacking the cops and i was like oh well i was wrong i was absolutely wrong about that yeah but you know the circumstances are completely different. A militia. Well, first of all, what militia?

Second of all, where did you hear about this? Because if it wasn't on Parler, was it on Facebook? Yeah, no, no. If it was on Facebook, why is Facebook still up? Well, because Facebook is special. Yeah, of course they're special. No, they're trying to get Facebook down in some way, too. Yeah.

Like, the left has been going nuts against Facebook. I think it was BuzzFeed wrote an article where they they were like this is where the insurrection was planned and then it was like number number one is gay number two is parlor or whatever and then number five it said facebook yep that's right facebook and they've been attacking facebook non-stop over it you know facebook was where the groups existed where they were talking about you know doing this and facebook didn't do anything about it well if they have credible information and they're monitoring it why haven't they been talking about where this is chat this chatter is happening how do we shut this down how do we prohibit this this is a completely

different environment there's literally thousands of armed troops razor wire unscalable fences and impenetrable uh perimeter there no one is coming with small arms into the district to do what to do right it's to walk into a building and be like by standing here i'm on it's glue that makes me you know you can't you can't arrest me i'm the president now that's not how a country works no and biden along that vein biden doesn't need to be in the Capitol to do a talk to Congress. That's a good point. He could be. This is the thing. We need a creative person in that position.

I think Andrew Yang would have been a great, great example of that. He's super creative. And you need to be working with the technology we have to explain and help people. And I mean, it's just so ridiculous. No, no, no. You're right. That negates the devil's advocate point you're making. I hated that. I hated doing it. Joe Biden could give a speech from space. yet you're right that negates the devil's advocate point you're making i hated that i hated hated

doing it joe biden could give a speech from space right well on paris survive orbit but you know the launch the launch his body would just he could he could take his phone and hold it up and be like hey how's it going america you know peace uh you know my americans you know everything's good see you then. People would like him so much better if he did that too. Is this thing on? Is it on? Nancy, is it on?

I just use thumb a lot. Is it on? Yeah. And then Jill Biden walks up and smacks him on the butt, like with Elizabeth Warren. Remember that? Dude, that was messed up. Do you remember what happened? No.

Elizabeth Warren was trying to be like AOC, and it was the cringiest thing ever. And she's doing an Instagram Live thinking it's going to connect with young people. And she, she's like talking to people and she's like, I'm going to go get me a beer. I'm going to take a beer now. And then,

but hold on, this was crazy because she's drinking the beer and her husband walks up while she's dreaming and he smacked her on the butt and she like jumps. And then she said something. She said, I'm glad you're here. I'm happy that you're here. And then Trump tweeted probably the funniest thing he's ever tweeted.

He goes, what do you mean you're glad he's there? He's supposed to be there. It's his house. That was just a great tweet. I loved it. Yeah. No, but a lot of people are responding to this Bloomberg thing saying, dude, no, this is ridiculous. It's the Democrats just being like, help, help.

The sky is falling. One six. It's the end of the world. Oh, the militias are coming for us. We've always been at war with the white domestic terrorists in the United States. And then you got to,

the military industrial complex will use any possible evidence to enhance the militant nature of this society. To gain security powers. Yeah, we got to be careful about this. It's not just the military industrial complex. It's just, it's the revolving door between them and government.

It's the government agencies, their contractors, and the weapons manufacturers are all sitting there being like, well, I like blowing stuff up. Don't you like blowing stuff up? I like getting paid to stand there with a gun. You hire my contractors and they'll guard you for no reason because you're afraid. I think standing there with a gun is more like what the National Guard is doing right now. And I mean no disrespect to the National Guard. Like the Blackwater types. What is that company called now?

They keep changing the name because of the controversies. They're the guys who like, they go in and do the real messed up stuff. You know? And I wonder, man, because I hear this stuff a lot from people who support that kind of action,

that military action. They're like, yeah, well, you wouldn't be living half as good as you are right now if these guys weren't going out there and doing this stuff. Blackwater. Private contractors killing people in the Mideast? Yep, absolutely. Oh, yeah. There are people who believe, like, if we're not doing that,

you know, the petrodollar falls and then we collapse and then we're, you know, that's it. What does America export, man? War. Culture? Culture, maybe. Yeah, culture. Culture is probably one of the biggest exports debt that's our biggest export yeah well so we had we had uh ethan suplee on the show and he mentioned what a lot of people don't realize about this war is that we're propping

up the petrodollar yeah we can go into debt with as much money as we want because we're pointing guns at everybody basically so they got to use our dollars no matter what it could inflate things for americans but the economy can't collapse as long as we got guns pointed at people so that's i mean that's the whole that's the big picture i guess blackwater is called academy now are you sure it's called academy now i thought they changed the name it was just academy with an i not academy now that'd be funny um and before that it was called z x e they changed it from blackwater to z in 2009 and then to academy in 2011 why do they With an I, not Academy Now. That'd be funny. Academy Now. Before that, it was called ZXE. They changed it from Blackwater to Z in 2009 and then to Academy in 2011.

Why do they keep changing it? To avoid bad press. Monsanto did the same thing. It allowed itself to be bought by Bayer. You remember when Marlboro changed their name to Altria as well? Altria? Sounds like a medicine. Right, exactly.

I mean, I don't know who to believe. I don't know where to put my attention. I just want to know who is pulling the strings. Who's the one that's saying to Biden, don't know. I don't know who to believe. I don't know where to put my attention. I just want to know who is pulling the strings. Who's the one that's saying to Biden, don't talk. Who's the one saying maybe you shouldn't do a joint session? Who's the one saying no State of the Union? One of the coolest things about being president has got to be doing the State of the Union. When you get 500 people standing up cheering for you, national television, 40 million people.

It's got to be a highlight. I bet you Bill Clinton, when he first got elected, I bet you i bet he was like man i can't wait to get this thing done he did his first one what like 28 days whatever after inauguration just enough time to get the speech written to prepare to practice a whole bunch to get the logistics down he was probably let's do it let's do it let's do it he probably wanted to do it the next day february february 17th february 17th yeah less than a month later yep less than a month later. Yep. Less than a month later. And Joe Biden now in this time of healing. When are you going to heal me, Joe?

Yeah, come on, Joe. Come on, fat. Just heal me. You know what I was thinking? What do you think the British crown thought of the founding fathers? Dangerous far right extremists. Yes, exactly. Terrorists.

Sovereign citizen terrorists. Terrorism, yeah. And under what authority did the Founding Fathers have to actually declare independence? God. Yeah. Literally God, yeah.

Literally not. Literally, it's like in the first, what, few sentences? Well, no, actually, there were a series of elections held in each state, and then some of them were like ad hoc

and like unofficial, and then they sent representatives to varying degrees. They were supported by the state. They were down at the pub, and they were like, who's going to go to Philadelphia? Some of them were like ad hoc and like unofficial and then they sent representatives to varying degrees they were supported by the they were down at the pub and they're like who's gonna go to philadelphia you know it's kind of crazy but then imagine this imagine if right now check it out check it out it's awesome what if there was a very large group what is that what does the oath keepers have like 40 000 or something like that oh i don't know what happens if just a bunch of armed groups in various states said, yeah, we were elected by our communities.

We represent them. So we're voting for this. They better have a good document to back it up. That's one of the things the founding fathers had. They were really smart and good writers. They had a list of, was it 14 grievances they were upset about? Was it 14? And redresses.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever that means. Gotta fix it. Yep. And they were also really wealthy, a lot of them. It'd be like if Elon Musk came together with Jeff Bezos, with Mark Zuckerberg, with us. So was it our oligarchs at the time? No.

They weren't the kings of industry. That's true. They were just well-off dudes for the most part. Right. It's not quite like Zuckerberg and Bezos. But there was an industry per se yeah there was the east india trading company well i guess company to have exist i'm pretty sure right but that sure certainly but this is pre-industrial revolution this is pre-robber

barons this is pre-mass wealth of every you know these are gentlemen farmers right some lawyers some some army guys right uh? Legislators, you know? Yeah. So it wasn't the same kind of power, I don't think. But I do remember studying the American Revolution recently, actually, and seeing the fusion between what was called the cosmopolitan folks, you know, like the people that lived in the city that were all educated, the guys that went and lived in France and came back. They had to make an alliance with the religious Zionists who lived in the countryside.

There were people, and there still are here in the United States, who believe that this is new Zion. That this is a place to build. Oh, yeah. This is a place to build Zion and have new kingdom of God here in the United States. And they were able to link up these networks.

The cosmopolitan guys worried about the natural rights and the freedoms and this and that and the taxation and all that. They joined forces with the religious folks who believed that this was Zion and that they were here to build a new promised land. And they got together because they all wanted their independence. So they had alignment. This was like an early example of a decentralized movement that had alignment, right? Because John Adams and Thomas Jefferson or whatever, they weren't Zionists, right? But they saw they had common alignment there. So they were like, all right, let's do it. And I've read sermons actually from like 1760 and 1770 from preachers in the countryside telling their people about this revolution

that's coming because god wants it because we're here to build a new zion etc etc and it's just interesting to me to as we're talking about this to see who were the characters like what did they have what they hold what kind of power did they have and what was their motivation what is what would be the analogy today uh i don't know man i don't think i don't think it's musk or bezos yeah but i think about it a lot that invoking god when i'm talking about this and the problems and the solutions like it gets people rallied and it's kind of scary to use that because i feel like it's like not fair it's it's kind of like playing the trump card you know and and it's almost like i don't necessarily believe i don't know if there's a God necessarily. I just don't know.

But to say it, it works. There are people who will absolutely pretend to be acting on behalf of God because they know that people will be scared or people will be faithful and they'll give power to these individuals who exploit them. That's what I see when I see. I'll put it this way. The Republicans, I think, are, you know, Mitch McConnell looks at all these conservatives and goes, well, who else are going to vote for? And the Democrats are like, well, I'll say literally anything to you to get you to vote for me, because I know as soon as you do, you walk away. Now, things are a little bit different, though, with social media. Seeing these memes come from the left and the right, making fun of Biden, the greatest meme ever made, in my opinion, right now.

You see the one where it's big words. It's the red button in the blue button. Yeah, it's vaporizing Syrians. The blue one says $2,000. Instead of the guy being sweating and confused, which depressed, it's Dr. Robotnik laughing maniacally as he reaches for the red button. And it says Joe Biden over it. Yeah, it's perfect because not only does the meme work by itself, but it's also a meta

meme in that by getting rid of the confused sweating guy and replacing him with an enthusiastic Robotnik reaching for the red button so assuredly, it's just masterpiece. Masterpiece meme. But I want to point something out about the Founding Fathers. The one thing they had, the biggest advantage, King was 3,000 miles away. Yep. What was he going to do about it? They were having these meetings. They were kicking their feet up.

Now the regulars were going around and and acting a fool but for the most part when the when the cat is away the mice will play that's a saying right yeah so the king wasn't coming to the colonies and then we brought i brought this up many times they could write this letter being like yo king we out and they send it on a ship three months later the king gets it and he's like i'm gonna write a strongly worded letter back to them three months the king gets it, and he's like, I'm going to write a strongly worded letter back to them. Three months later, it makes it back, and it's been now six months since they declared

independence, and they're acting as a sovereign nation at this point. So they're like, bro, that was six months ago. Where you been? We don't have that right now. They had the whole lantern thing all set up. What was that? One by land, two by sea? Yep. They were prepared. They were super prepared. They sent that letter off. They're like, let's put

some lanterns in place. What were the lanterns for? To signify if the British were coming by land or by sea. I'm probably getting all my history wrong. My girlfriend's at home right now watching this being like, your history is not right. Sorry, babe. They basically had the beacon set up.

They're like, when you see the regulars, light the beacons. And then, you know, they put the little lanterns on. They also, in addition to having the distance and the time buffer, they had the French, which were like this giant monarch nation that was willing to go to war for them, basically, to destroy England. Yeah. Well, kind of. They were basically like, we're at war with England, so we're not really helping you so

much as you're helping us. Yeah, symbiotic. And man, they would have had no chance without the French. The French basically bankrupted their economy. Yeah, and then it caused the French Revolution. That guy executed all those other guys. But there were a bunch of nobles in France who were like, I regret that decision. Hey, I don't.

I'm glad they did it. But yeah, they destroyed their economy. And then everybody started starving and the french revolution had other issues okay and then we got louisiana yeah there you go napoleon he sold to us right yeah so what like uh 25 years later less wow yeah not just louisiana mind you like the whole central third of the country yeah yeah and then i think there was that big swath of Mexico. And then, you know, we had the California territory and then Texas declared independence.

And then Texas signed a treaty joining the United States. I was reading something about how Texas could have been five different states. It was five different nations within the Texas Republic. Republic. Really? Yeah. Right. So and then and i think this is

recently an anniversary maybe of their independence from mexico yesterday so i saw i looked at the document right they were really good with the documents back then uh and they're still good well i guess we're even better with the with the documents these days but it made me think texans texas folks mexicans they're people of color people from texas are people of color they're actually immigrants to the united states when are we going to start treating texas with the dignity and respect that we we need and demand to give our immigrant folks here in the united states and refer to them as poc and give them all the opportunities and all the affirmative action and all the benefits and honors of regime designed around benefiting pocs and immigrants and people new

to the country when are the texas republic folks going to get their dues well let's let's let's talk about texas all right for most of you you may have heard texas greg abbott comes right out and he's like yo we done yo no more covid lockdown what's that look on your face it's like hell yeah man i'm into it let's do it good i'm ready to go and what did joe biden say he called them the We done. No more COVID lockdown. What's that look on your face? It's like, hell yeah, man. I'm into it. Let's do it. Good. I'm ready to go.

And what did Joe Biden say? He called them the Neanderthals. Joe Biden, Neanderthal thinking. Biden calls Abbott's decision to open Texas, lift mask order, big mistake. You know why Joe Biden won't do anything about it? The risk of secession is real. It's real. It is. It's not my opinion. That is the risk of secession is real it's real it is i'm not it's not my opinion that is the opinion of casey michael writing for nbc pro-trump republican secession rhetoric in

texas and elsewhere is more than a punchline this kind of seditious rhetoric would spell disaster for the supposedly united states of america in this article yes dude goes in i mean look i think it's i think go i actually actually agree with them when they say that the risk of secession is legit now they mention that there have been many instances where republicans are like we will secede from the union if you know obama gets elected this time's different and so we talked about there's a five counties in oregon have you heard this uh what the whole greater idaho greater Yes. And then you got like nine or whatever counties in Northern California to make the state of Jefferson.

Some of those might actually join greater Idaho. Then you got Weld County. And what's the other one? I think that's it. These are counties that are like- And there's a handful of counties in Virginia that have been welcomed into the state of West Virginia as well. Really?

Yep. Interesting. But you can't do that. Why not? Well, there needs to be federal approval no no why well at least according to the documents the laws you can't you can't redraw state borders without federal approval you know that's a really good point jack and you are correct you need the approval of your sovereign leader and your legal system before you're allowed

to declare independence just like in 1776 when the founding fathers i have a feeling you're mocking me they sent a petition they sent a petition to parliament and parliament said good good sir the americans have requested independence okay why we agree stamp sent it back to him but look like anybody that's ever gone through a legal process knows you first you have to start off with a nice letter then you have to come with a nasty letter then you have to come with a demand letter then you have to demand mediation arbitration then finally you're like on guard yes that's true though

the founding fathers didn't immediately just say yo we out they were like they were good sir we have a list of grievances and then they kept kicking back for like 20 years they were like yo dude this is a problem for us. And the king was like, I don't care. So now what we're seeing is I was looking at these counties that want us to see it.

Joe Biden calls Texas Neanderthal. That's very racist, by the way. Subhuman. Neanderthals were people. And that is an extremely racist thing to say. Specious. That's true. That's a good point.

It's terrible. That's really, really bigoted of him to say thate biden won't do anything because the risk is real so you know he said you go you know joe biden said we're gonna uh be locked down no no normal until this time next year right texas said doors open do something basically the same day yeah right and you know you know why you know why nothing will happen texas is going to be fine they can do whatever they want what do you think would happen if joe biden said i hereby order a mandate that texas lock back down what would happen what do you think would happen that would be the final straw would would would the federal

government send in dhs or national guard to enforce this lockdown? No, they wouldn't. You know why? They don't have enough people. They don't. If the people in Texas are told by the governor, you open your business, they will. If Joe Biden tries sending people into Texas to shut down their businesses down, the police in Texas will stop them. We've already seen what was it like in Ohio where they said, like, we'll arrest ATF members for violating our gun laws. If you try and confiscate a weapon from somebody in violation of our law, we'll arrest you. When if the federal government tries to overexert its authority, I mean, it may have the authority.

I welcome that, actually. I welcome that. Yeah. Well, as a as a as a necessary mistake on the path to continue decentralization. Like we have a serious centralization problem. That's what Biden is, is a natural mistake. In all, in biology, in our economy, in science, in technology, in finance, with currencies. We have a centralization problem right because when it's

all in the middle it's huge risks yeah you saw the federal reserve go down so right oh yeah that was crazy so we decentralization of authority is actually on trend with everything else that's happening right now strategic disconnection has been my theme for the last couple of years i would welcome this type of egregious behavior on the part of the federal government as part of a necessary step to increase this decentralization effort. This is why Trump probably didn't do anything

when it came to Black Lives Matter as well. It wasn't so much that people will say you're a tyrant. It was that you had riots all over the country, nowhere near enough federal law enforcement to actually stop it. Now, that's not entirely correct. It's correct that it would have taken a substantial amount of federal force to stop them, and it may have backfired, and then the resulting backlash could have overwhelmed National Guard

or federal police. But it was also consistent with Trump's response to COVID as well. Yeah, leave it up to the states. Leave it up to the states. Leave it up to the states. But so in this in this regard, you have a very bold move by Mississippi and by Texas. But Texas is legit like we're opening back up. Well, Florida's already been open. So let's be real. Joe Biden's not going to do anything because Joe Biden doesn't really care. When Joe Biden comes out, this is the crazy thing. He's only the leader of the blue states. This is the point that people need to realize that is the scariest point of all. Florida already is open. Many states never locked down. Texas is reopening, defying Joe Biden. Joe

Biden has no confidence in red states. The red states have no confidence in Joe Biden. But the blue states are like, whatever you say, Biden, it's true. So Biden comes out as the president of the United States says, we got to stay locked down. Don't be stupid. And the red states are like, no, make me. Yeah. Yeah. So think about who is he actually in charge of? Not the red states. They don't seem to care.

Ron DeSantis is ragging on the guy. He's doing whatever he wants. And then what did Biden say? Craziest story we've seen in a long time. Biden threatened travel restrictions into Florida because of what Ron DeSantis was doing. And Ron DeSantis was like, bring it. So this is not the president of the United States. He's the president of the blue states.

He is. And I know legally and all that stuff. He was inaugurated. The problem I'm talking about is the division between the tribes in this country. South Dakota, we're not locking down. Florida, we're not locking down. Texas, Mississippi. Now I think Louisiana is using restrictions.

They're basically looking at Biden and saying, no. Imagine imagine maybe this is why they haven't done the state of the union ladies and gentlemen i'm here to tell you that the state of the union is weak pathetic there's actually no union and i'm here and i'm just leading however many it was like whatever few handfuls you know the the states the electoral states that he got elected that's it i'm not i'm not the president for everybody else. I mean, that would have to be. That's that's like the reality in the in the article before about the militia attack. There's the FBI director, Chris.

Chris Ray says domestic extremists pose the greatest threat to the US or whatever. Right. He's not wrong from his perspective. He's the establishment perspective. He views the intelligence agencies, the security state and the corporate politicians as the legitimate United States government. And Donald Trump is not that. He was a usurper. He was an invader.

He was outsider. So they were like, this guy is taking over our legitimate system. He's a threat. Now, think about these people. These people who are supposedly threatening the u.s they're not foreigners they're not uh swearing allegiance to anything other than the constitution the constitution these are american citizens at odds with the existing establishment you got yourselves a problem the existing establishment is an occupying force

that does not believe in the Constitution of the United States. And the people here in the United States that do believe in the Constitution and do believe in the vision of the founders, when I say instructionists, I mean that in the context of there is a dominant occupying force that has captured all of our institutions, captured all the universities, the government, everything. And they do not adhere to or believe in the Constitution of the United States or in freedom of liberty or in individual accountability or any of the things that we were founded on. Therefore, they are an occupying foreign force. And people that believe in the Constitution are actually insurgents because we do want

to expel this occupying force. This is the white pill moment. You know, that means like the optimism. It's the good news. It's the hope. Oblicting. Bring it. Bring it.

No black pilling here. The hope is in front of us. Joe Biden has lost control. He can't even answer questions without someone turning his camera off. The establishment is in free fall. The Democrats and Republicans, the establishment politicians, are flailing wildly in panic, turning the president's camera off. Wow, they are scared. Abandoning tradition of addressing the Congress and addressing the people after you've been elected president.

And what do you think? And then when he cries to come out saying, we got to stay locked down and all the states are just breaking away and saying, no. F you, dude. F you, dude. And what do you think happens

if Joe Biden goes, my fellow Americans, we must ban firearms. What do you think Texas is going to say? They're going to start Yosemite Sam-ing. Very irresponsible, by the way. Once the going to start Yosemite Sam-ing. Very irresponsible, by the way. Once the economy crashes... Yosemite Sam? He was a white, red-bearded

cowboy. I'm just kidding, but why did Yosemite Sam have a little accent? What do you mean? He had a white, southern accent. No, you just now. I said, yee-haw! I say when the economy crashes, because

if you study history, you see it's a cyclical crash and rebuild and crash. Wait, wait, wait. Didn't it just crash this year, bro? 2008. Yeah, it's crashing. We're in a crash right now, basically, if you look at the numbers. You don't need to look at the numbers. Yeah.

Like, just look at the people who don't have jobs. And the crashes can take years sometimes. You know what's funny? You know what's funny? There's like every decade there's a crash. Like something happens. We had the mortgage-backed security crisis, and all of a sudden it was like, oh, the it's funny. It's funny. There's like every decade there's a crash. Like something happens. We had the mortgage-backed security crisis. And all of a sudden it was like, oh, the market's on fire.

Trump's economy was so good. The only thing that caused the crash was when governments were like, turn the economy off. That's exactly right. And they turned the key and just stopped it. That's exactly right. That's what caused it. That was the only way they could stop it. That was the only way they could stop it.

Best economy ever. With also the greatest quarter of growth in American history. Yeah. It's like 30 some percent. I can't tell you how many times I talked to somebody. I had a contractor working. It was back at the other studio. And he was like, 2019 was the greatest year of my life.

I've never made that much money before. Yeah. And I was at it. I felt this way before. I was buying furniture for the studio setup. So this is beginning of 2020. The lady who was selling furniture i was like we got to do a big order we need tables we need chairs we need desks we

need everything we're building out this whole thing it was a very expensive order and she was laughing and then i was like good day for you hon she goes it's been a good year and i was like yeah how was last year last year was good for you and she goes i've never made more money in my life she said last year was my biggest year ever selling furniture and she was just laughing having a good time that was the trump economy but i could print 10 times the money and pay you 10 times the value but then everything that was before dude well since 2008 m1 has been going no but but but what's happened in 2020 it's unprecedented okay so it was going like this it was going like this and then truly dude yeah the whole scale from this part shrinks now because it just goes

like this. Oh, so my point is when this, it seems like we're headed towards a crash. That's like the last semblance of unity in the United States. Obviously we have our lockdown issues and states by states, state rights. But when that's gone, this money thing, the Bitcoin, the crypto people are going to come up and basically take control of the country. And we need a document. We have the constitution. Digital Bill of Rights. And we need a document. We have the Constitution.

Digital Bill of Rights. And we need something like that. The Manila Principles. So we need a digital constitutional convention that, and I mean this in no way challenging any authority of the U.S., just basically getting people from various industries and various regions to write down what they think matters most to the people where they live and who they represent so that we can draft. We should start with like 30 principles of what the internet is supposed to grant to

people as an economy, as a communication hub, as entertainment. Then we go through them. We whittle down the language and then find a good 10 or 15. The Manila principles. Have you heard of them? You should pull them up. There's like six of them. It's basically an internet bill and then find a good 10 or 15. The Manila principles. Have you heard of them? You should pull them up. There's like six of them. It's basically an internet bill of rights.

It's real. It's been done. And I would love for you to pull it up and read it right now. Well, so I want to make this point, though. When you mentioned that the Bitcoin people are going to be the ones who take over. It's going to be like the fall of the Soviet Union. So. The oligarchs.

That's right. That's right. So I was talking to a friend of mine because everybody knows now I have a friend in Ukraine. I mentioned her all the time. And I was like, well, it was really interesting. I went there and I was, you know, you live. You were born in the Soviet Union. You were a little kid when the Soviet Union collapsed.

How did these oligarchs come to power in these past couple of decades when everybody was under the boot of Russia? She was like, they're gangsters. They were criminal gangsters. And then look, look at this way. You have a power plant, right? Power plant waits for the word from their higher militaristic communist authority. When the Soviet Union collapsed, that communication got snapped. Just the line was cut. Now the guy running this power plant's like, I don't know. All of a sudden, the dude walks in. He's got three dudes around him with guns. And he goes, we're going to tell you what to do.

It's our factory now. You answer to me. And the foreman of the factory goes, sounds good to me because I don't know what's going on. These guys went around from building to building with guns and just kept saying, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine. And then all of a sudden, boom, they were billionaires overnight. The kleptocracy, as it's called. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what will happen when the dollar gets smacked

down why do you think china has been buying so much bitcoin or printing and mining i should say mining bitcoin because what was that what was that face well i just didn't i see an article recently about china shutting down all kinds of mining operations yeah but it's a very clever thing because i'm the price tanks and then they buy it all up and then they say oh no we're just kidding oh okay yeah they've done it several times and i think india did it it's very clever they're like we're gonna ban this and then everyone panic sells and then guess who buys it up there are a lot of people right now who have already become worth hundreds of millions of dollars there's one really funny tweet i saw some guy said looking at my account with 15 bitcoin in it on the computer that i lost or whatever and it's just like because you can actually see the number you can see

the the the uh the address right in the blockchain and he's like that's mine but i can't get it there are a lot of people who have bitcoin they maybe even bought it was a couple hundred bucks and now it's at like 50 grand 50 grand grand. It is in your faces, man. We are watching the value of the dollar evaporate. One of the craziest stories I saw, do you know that fast food prices have been skyrocketing? Nobody noticed this. People don't pay attention because we're frogs boiling in a pot. I was reading a story about how the cost of fast food meals in the past year have gone up like 40 or 50 percent.

Yeah. Restaurants have also skyrocketed. And there's a graph showing the cost of food going up. It's getting, it's happening. I remember 49 cent crunchy tacos at Taco Bell. Oh, man. When they go on 39 cent. Come on, bro.

I remember five McDonald's cheeseburgers for two bucks. Yeah. Wow. Because I'm old. I already established this. I'm old. Is that some 80s? Remember the dollar menu dude?

I remember that That was a long ago So what are they now? They're like $11 meals? Happy meals and stuff? Yeah yeah So like No it's not $11

What's like Yeah they are bro Like a Big Mac's $5.29 or something I'm gonna stop in on the way home I'm gonna price check You better price check for us A Big Mac was $2.29 Go to New York City

You know how much A number one's gonna cost in New York? Probably like $15, $20 New York City No That's how much a number one's going to cost in New York? Probably like 15 bucks, 20 bucks. New York City. No. And that's before a $15 minimum wage. Yep, there you go. So listen, listen, Ian makes a good point. The people who are holding Bitcoin are going to wake up

one day and be the new oligarchs. Definitely. But we have a constitution, so it'll be different than Russia as long as we adhere to it. And the Manila Principles, which is like a digital, I think we can integrate it into our U.S. constitution. I could read could read some well we'll pull that up in a bit maybe maybe there's six i've got i want to i want to talk about something else because i think this matters biden slashes stimulus checks for americans making more than eighty thousand dollars president bows to pressure from moderate democrats and will hand out fewer direct payments than under trump

fewer than under trump which Fewer than under Trump. Which moderate Democrats are this? But we just kind of talk about how brutal it must be to have voted for Joe Biden, thinking the Democrats were to get you this check. And now you're being told by the news, actually, Trump was trying to get you more. That is got to be like a kick in the waltz. You know, those tweets where people are like, you know, you sure are like, you know, spending a lot of money when you owe me money, right? It's like these tweets.

It's like you sure are, you know, vaporizing Syrians when you owe me a lot of money. Biden's sure got a lot of money for somebody who owes me $2,000. Exactly. Sure got a lot of money for missiles. It's like how insane is it? We're the only country in the world where they force everybody out of their jobs and stay home and then don't give them any money to make. Look, I pulled the meme up.

What insanity is this? I pulled this meme up. It's fine. You've been co-opted. I didn't make it. I just saw people sharing it and I reposted it. I don't know who made it. It's yours now.

It is the hand pushing one of the two buttons. Vaporizing Syrians is red and $2,000 checks is blue. And then it's Dr. Robotnik, Jim Carrey going and pressing the red button. Joe Biden, all the Democrats said, vote for the Democrats. $2,000 check. Donald Trump said $2,000 check. Mitch McConnell was like, well, slow down there, Trump. So the Republicans said no.

The Democrats said yes. And everyone said, I'll vote for the Democrats. And then the Democrats, it's wonderful. It's like they gave they all voted to give the one ring to Joe Biden and they followed him into the fires of Mount Doom. And then they're like, cast the two thousand dollar checks into the mailbox. And then Biden turns around and goes, no, and then walks out with the money and then hands him to a military industrial complex guy and then press a button and fires missiles and goes, kills, and then walks out with the money and then hands him to a military industrial

complex guy and then presses a button and fires missiles. And goes, kills kids or whatever. I think what you said earlier about us being co-opted, our government being basically occupied is it's extremely astute. Like after Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act and basically sold us out to this power. And then after World War Two, when they made the liberal economic order and established these military bases all over the world,

it's like a parasite in the brain of our country. It's crazy. Slow down there, Ron Paul. I love Ron Paul. Ron, this is for you. That's right. We still, so for Christmas, Luke put Ron Paul on top of the tree

because he's both a star and an angel. And now the picture is just like on the window. Ron Paul's an amazing guy. And angel uh and now now the picture is just like on the window ron paul's amazing guy and i always tell people that the reason have you seen that video that's going viral from 1988 yes of course we're him on more on more not more on maury no no no i don't know it was just one of those shock jock hosts right from that time period it was so good ron paul is a legend it was amazing living and then he's like, yeah, and by the way, you fatty, you should lose some weight too. No, no.

He was like, the government can't make you a good person. Why don't they put you on a diet? You're a little overweight. And the guy's like, oh, how dare you? It's a good point. He's like, I'm a doctor. Yeah, he's a doctor. And he was probably right.

The government can't make you be a good person. So I'm thinking about this parasite in the brain of our country and how you remove a parasite without it killing the host because this parasite is blue goo. Right. You can't yank it out because it will kill the host. You can't. You can try and kill it, but if it knows you're trying to kill it, it will kill the host. Likely. So you

need to subvert it. You need to massage the affected area until it starts wiggling its way out and then you get the forceps and you slowly pull very slowly. Otherwise it could rip and then retreat back in and then you get the forceps, and you slowly pull. It's like a bot fly. Otherwise, it could rip and then retreat back in. So you make the host less enticing to the parasite. So we have to poison pill ourselves.

Or, well, no. There's no real analogy for that. I think, you know. Create a system that's not conducive to the parasite. I don't think that's a good analogy because it's one planet. It would be like if there was one host and literally no other hosts i think the u.s has been is the host the u.s government i think the whole planet is basically got a bunch of powerful interests that collude with each other for a variety of reasons you're right the british government too yeah it's not like it's funny how

people are like you're a conspiracy theorist it's not a conspiracy i think there's international businesses that do deals with each other it happens every single day yeah right and so you so you've got Trump being like, he comes out by the White House with a helicopter or whatever, and the press asks him, like, what's going on? He goes, we're going to be selling a ton of weapons to Saudi Arabia. It's great. We're going to make tons of money. It's great for the economy. And it's like, it's right there in your face.

He's saying it. I love that, by the way. It was one of the greatest moments of Trump's presidency. Watching all the anti-war left just go like, he just said it. He just said it. That was why people hated him. My favorite tweet ever was this journalist who was like, I have been working on this story for a year. All year.

And he just says it. He just says it. He just tweeted it out. That was Trump. He just tweeted it out. That was huge. That was huge. That was right around the same time as let's do a little game theory.

Oh, man. So I do think, think about this. When we got off the gold standard, it's really amazing. Once the banking institutions, I think it's silly to say the banks are in charge or the Fed. There's clearly just people in power and wealthy interests who just use these machines in these systems to maintain control. Yeah, the Bank for International Settlements. It's like the mother brand. You know, the liberal economic order, you called it.

Yeah, they've established it in like 1946, I think, right after World War II to make sure that there was no World War III. And they were like, we're going to use the British and the American governments to establish military dominance on the planet. Isn't it a good thing to have World War III? According to Kissinger, yes. And so we're just going to do limited wars. We'll avoid a hot total war. But you can see that I think the time for limited war is over. It served its purpose.

We did avert World War III. Are you advocating now for total war? No, I'm advocating for no war. I don't think we need war anymore. I mean, we're getting to a place where we don't. I talk about it all the time. Violence doesn't work anymore. Yeah.

You become the villain instantly when you engage in that stuff. We're getting there. We're molecularly printing water and food. We'll be able to do that pretty soon. So we're very close. We just got to build on replicators, and that's it. But I will say, too. That's it.

We're almost there. QED. Post-scarcity, bro. Post-scarcity. People are printing food. We already live in an abundant world. Just look at all

of the fat people in America. Yep. We live in a world of abundance. Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro. We're designed to live in a world of scarcity. This is the one thing I try to hammer

into my kids' brains constantly. Bro. What? Not just fat people. Fat homeless people. Right. We have people

who are homeless and morbidly obese. Still manage to be fat. That's like, I don't know if it's a testament to capitalism or like a detriment. It's a prime example of the way our society has evolved faster than our physical being. Right? We are creatures of worlds of scarcity, now living in a world of abundance, and we just don't know how to operate.

Right. We don't know how to operate. Ironically, think about this. A man with chiseled eight-pack. Like you. Yeah. Not right now, but by summertime, I promise. Get that beach bod.

That's a sign of status to appear as though you're emaciated yeah like what is that that's a world turned upside down these guys these guys who do the the like the photo shoots of the super muscles and everything they dehydrate themselves oh yeah of course you have to drop a lot of the water so that the muscles come through the skin better yeah and there was top down lighting is always really healthy i was i was i think i was reading something from jason moma who was aquaman and he posted a picture something happened where like he was at the beach and they posted a photo saying he's really let himself go and he literally didn't he was still doing the training program he was just like it's crazy that you think just like having skin and looking this way having like hydrated skin you think is letting yourself go because they're so used to these movies where they're like emaciated let me just say one thing if you've ever seen brad pitt and

fight club thor with his shirt off for a second or the wolverine or whatever just know that those guys they train like six months for that one day for that one shot where they have their shirt off and that is not real that is not sustained and that's what guys that are on steroids with personal trainers and personal chefs and they can only maintain that for just a few days for that photo shoot and i think it's totally unrealistic i think hemsworth who plays thor said he was eating like several pounds of fish and chicken every day because you need that much protein to maintain the mass yeah and then they do the they film the movie over the month and then he goes to a lighter you know training thing where he's not breaking himself. Back to a normal guy.

Gerard Butler, his training for 300. He played Leonidas. It's amazing. I think there's a YouTube short 10-minute video about it. It's really powerful. Nevertheless, it is interesting how we need to adapt to a world of abundance when we're accustomed to a world of scarcity. Yeah, good point. So we're brainwashed.

We basically, to think that there's point so you were brainwashed we basically to think that there's not enough not brainwashed through all time and history there has not been enough and now you can order any vegetable any fruit more or less on the internet i mean that's a problem it is it seems like it has become a problem it is a problem it's a problem that you can order strawberries in winter because they got to grow them in like mexico and then put them on a on a freight and then ship it all the way out it's it's it's a huge waste of energy for a luxury it's a luxury i get it it's great but in that capacity i think people should get back to like we need to get back people should put chickens on like you know we got to get chickens man you

buy a chicken bro i saw a tweet yeah i'm all about it let's get some chickens we got uh so this is this is my shout out to all the people who are upset about Joe Biden and the stimulus check. I think that's like what we're starting the segment off with. You can get mad. The government's not going to give you that money. But what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do?

You're going to sit there and be like, I'm mad. All right. Here's a solution. You got to be self-sustainable. I don't want a solution. And that's fine. You can be mad if you want. But then you're going to be hungry and mad.

You could start an Instagram account, buy baseball gloves and resell them at retail. Yeah, or shoes. Or, or, you know what I see? I see signs for all over the place is people have chickens and they sell the eggs. Yeah. They collect them all.

And then after a certain amount of time, they eat them if they go, if they're too old. But then the fresher ones, they always have available for sale. 300 eggs per year per hen. Get on it. 300 eggs. Yeah. Per year per hen hen if you do it right though i learned that by watching homestead rescue one of my favorite shows on television but so so this is an important point though uh you know we were talking the other day with ryan ryan long about whether or not this was

one of the one of the tim cast member segments whether or not society will irreparably change completely when they release the lockdown. Finally, how different will everything be? And I was like, I think it'll be different forever. I think it's done. It's different. New normal is here. The habits you had are gone. Regular people.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I hear what you're saying, but like I'm thinking about this summer and lockdowns being released and all I could think about is getting my ass back down to Miami and going to a pool party and drinking and dancing to house music and being around beautiful people. And that's exactly what I did. I didn't say that wouldn't happen. I know, but those are my normal habits. Right, right. So people who used to go to the movies and haven't gone to the movies in over a year might go to a movie, but now HBO Max is publishing movies at the exact same time.

Are they really? Yep. So when the movie comes out now, it's on streaming services already. And guess what? Friends have already formed movie night groups where they're like, hey, it's Friday. Let's do movie night. Now a movie comes out. They're like, oh, we can go see movie night.

Let's do movie night. Let's watch the new movie. They don't go to the theater anymore. Habits are being changed completely. So here's what I say. You can't count on the government, man. You can cross your fingers and hope it'll be there for you, but that's not a guarantee. Well, people don't seem to understand on the left.

I don't care if you call it government. I don't care if you call it a nonprofit. I don't care if you call it a corporation. It is an organization. That's it. And really, really big ones tend to suck. Comcast? Everybody complains about Comcast.

It's a monopoly in my area. They don't answer their phones. Great. So why do you think the government being in control of something is going to change that? It's the same thing. What's the difference? Let me ask you this question. You know what the only real difference, in my opinion, between, let's say you live in an area where you have Comcast,

and then you have government provided service of some sort. Like, you can only get your electricity or waste management is a government program. What's the difference? You pay a subscription fee. You get the service. You can complain. Here's the thing about government I like better.

You have rights. If you have a problem with government, you can escalate it to the authorities. These private corporations like Facebook or Comcast can do whatever. What are you going to do? I'm suing them because they won't give me internet. You can try. Maybe there's a reason they might give you internet or they'll just be like, sorry, too bad. Go home. And you can vote the government people out of power if they do a poor job. So there's that incentive. So that's what I'm saying is I think a monopoly with a private monopoly is worse than a public monopoly. But you need to understand the difference is very, very slim. If you say the government should run this entire system right here, you're basically saying I want a massive.

I want Comcast taking care of my health care. I don't know about all that, but I'm actually in favor of a base level coverage with private hospitals and private insurance. So there's some there's still some kind of like universal care. I've often talked about this. Maybe what we really need is that the government acts as a referee or provides vouchers. And that's it. There's no government run health care. There's no government run schools. It's vouchers. We all pay the taxes. Then the government says we make sure people don't go below a certain threshold. People who are wealthier are going to naturally pay more because 10% of a million is way more than 10% of 100. And that means poor people will get access by voucher to these programs.

But does that mean that taxpayers have to pay for the vouchers? Yes. So they're still lying in the pockets of exorbitant prices of these private medical industry. But now you've got competition. You simplify the system. I'm not saying it's a perfect idea. I'm saying it might be a way. It might be a good solution, right? Because we've talked to who's the

I'm forgetting the guy's name. The DeAngelis Corey DeAngelis. Corey, a private school choice guy. He's a great guy. But we've also talked about police choice, fire department choice, hospital choice. I mean, it makes a lot of sense. What if you got vouchers for specific services and then you had to choose who delivered those services? You'd have market competition with a public guarantee.

Or we could just stop taxing everybody so much, let you have your money, and then go make your own decision. The problem with that is there are people who, like, I don't like the idea. Look, I'm a bit left in that regard. I don't like the idea that somebody works at McDonald's full time, 80 hours a week, maybe double time, and they can't go to the doctor. So what happens is then you have extremely wealthy people. You want to argue flat tax or progressive tax, fine. The simple answer is if some dude makes a million bucks and pays 10%, he's paying more than someone who makes a thousand bucks and is paying 10%. He's paying more into taxes. So that will help offset the costs only a little bit, to be

completely honest. And I am a fan of the progressive tax. And I think then we have a base level. So people aren't, you know, going medically bankrupt. Charter schools is something I know a lot about. I spent 10 years working in charter schools. I was a executive director of a multiple different charter schools. I was a top regulator at one of the most advanced charter school regulators in the country. I know school choice. It is a radical right wing public policy experiment because it is. It's about solving what was a public issue with private entities. Right.

So charter schools are privately owned, publicly funded. And the same concept could apply to everything like you just said, police, fire, medical. And what we've seen with charter schools is that they deliver per dollar better results, right? On a per dollar basis. And what we've seen in Washington, D.C. is that about half of the students in D.C. go to charter schools. And what happened at the beginning is charter schools at first outperformed. But now that it's actually half and half, they're actually performing relatively the same. Right.

So that means that they're delivering the same product, but they do it with far less money. Yeah. They do it with far less money. They have far more. They're far more nimble. They can be shut down if they're terrible schools and they don't meet standards. It's a really good system. And the irony for me in working in that environment is that truly a radical right-wing policy experiment implemented in DC by Georgia senators in the nineties, right? Republicans completely staffed by radical left-wing

social justice warriors that have no idea that they're participating in the deconstruction of the federal government that they so love and hold and hold dear but i i would love to see this thing see it expanded but what happens though you know same arguments as they make about charter schools it's like well what happens when you know the rich people get all the good cops and the poor people get all the bad cops or you rich people get all the good fire vouchers are equal bro the vouch bad cops. Are you rich? People get all the good fire. Vouchers are equal, bro. The vouchers are equal. Yeah.

So when it comes to certain services, everybody has the same vouchers. I see. Oh, I see. You're just like, I get fire service from this company. I can just choose to go to this company or that company. But they're local. That's the problem is like if everybody in one area wants the good cops and they pay their vouchers to it, then all these people in different area also want the good cops and pay their vouchers.

So then population density will lead to better. So then a new police department will open up to serve that demand. Oh, interesting. Yep. So interesting idea. I'd like to see it explored a little bit better. I don't know. Ain't going to happen in this administration, my friend.

They hate school choice more than they hate Syrians know, Syrians and dropping bombs on their head. They like the teachers' vote. They want those votes. Yep. Well, I'll tell you this, my friends. The excellent, the perfect opportunity to segue ain't going to be nothing for the teachers to teach. We got this story from CBS this morning. Experts sound the alarm on declining birth rates among younger generations.

Quote, it's a crisis. Before I read this, I want to tell you guys a story. You guys may be aware that I have a music video that I've produced. It's called Will of the People. I enjoy that song greatly. It is a song. I made it. And I decided to just try, I'm going to run an ad.

That's just a snip of the song. And then if people click it, they get brought to the full song. Just to see how it performs and see if there's a way to actually, you know, most people who do songs and entertainment have big marketing budgets. I don't. But I was like, let's let's buy some Google ads, see what happens. So I go into Google adsense and I'm like, the people who will like the song are fans of rock music, like indie rock kind of stuff. Probably, I think people who are into news and in politics google gave me a demographic breakdown of the people on youtube who watch news this was a crazy thing 66 they say are men they are uh most of them the plurality are between the ages of 35 and 44 and around i think it's like 65 to 70 have no

family that to me was crazy wait those are the people of that bought your song no no no just the people that are more interested in politics yes so google basically told me that the people who are interested in politics on youtube tend to be 35 to 44 with no family makes sense if you have a family you're you focus on the family less so than on the surrounding definitely you have far less time for news and media consumption but i but i right i have i have i have three kids when i had two kids under two there is a gap in my cultural understanding of the world that started uh around 2006 it goes to about 2009 i people ask me when i started dating after my divorce really have you seen this movie do you hear this song do you do this thing like what are you talking about i was sleeping i have no idea what you're talking about you just have

no time to consume anything well so this is interesting because i i saw that and i was just surprised at how many dudes don't have families that i'm gonna be 35 in a week i don't got any kids so we have the story from from cbs they say new data is confirming a baby boom that some doctors expected was actually a baby bust. So this is actually, that sounds like good news. Health departments in more than two dozen states provided records to CBS News showing a 7% drop. Wait, what? In births in December, nine months after the first lockdowns began.

Researchers say it continues a much bigger plunge in fertility in recent decades. The number of babies the average woman in the U.S. is expected to deliver has dropped from nearly four in the 1950s to less than two today. The drop could present an entirely different risk to society than one that was first warned about decades ago, when an apocalyptic fear gripped America in the 60s and 70s. The stakes in this battle are far greater than any other we've ever fought, Walter Cronkite said in a 1970 CBS News broadcast. The experts we interviewed told us population was the fundamental crisis. As the world stampeded towards 10 billion people, many researchers back then predicted that overpopulation would ruin humanity. Biologist Paul Ehrlich once explained the threat as the population bomb, saying, quote,

sometime in the next 15 years, the end will come. And by the end, I mean an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity. Today, however, a very different note is struck by researchers like University of Southern California Professor Dole Myers, who studies demographic trends. Quote, the trouble is we overshot and we dropped it down too much. Now, Myers told CBS this morning. Whoa, how did they drop it down? That now, Myers told CBS this morning. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How did they drop it down? That's an interesting question.

What policies did they enact? Anti-natalist policies. I mean... Oh, it's called feminism. Hello, by the way. No, I mean, look, look. That's a conspiracy theory. There's no...

What? There is no push... He's mocking me. There's no push between celebrities and prominent talk shows to tell women to abort their babies. Or go for your career. You don't need that, man. By the time you're 35, you'll be fine. You'll find a guy then.

Don't worry about it. Yeah, seems like they're complaining about it now. Oopsies. Myers said of the decline, this is a crisis. We need to have enough working age people to carry the load of these seniors who deserve their retirement. They deserve all their entitlements, and they're going to live out another 30 years. I would be nobody in the history of the globe has had so many older people to deal with. I would be interested to see what other research that guy works on.

I would bet a million dollars that either he or his friends are also pro open borders and interested in bringing in all kinds of immigrant labor as well. Because of the declining population. Yeah, as well. Because of the declining population. Yeah, or yes, because of the declining population. So you're saying have babies so that they can become slaves to the older generation? Yes, exactly right. Yes, that's exactly right. To pay for the debts that have been promised to the baby boomers. That's exactly right.

Ian, do you have parents? Yeah. When they're sick, will you help them? Yeah. So you're a slave to the older people slave to the you're a slave to these elderly folks no come on all these millennials who don't have kids it is going to be brutal for them when they're you know sitting there in their 70s and there's no one take care of them who's gonna take care of them a robot this is the government's gonna hire someone to do it maybe i used to call this the crazy aunt margaret phenomenon okay the crazy aunt margaret phenomenon is going to be the end of

feminism and it's going to happen in about 10 to 15 years when all these women in their 20s and 30s who have heard the you go girl get your career forget about your man all this stuff but when they get to be 45 and 50 and they're sitting around and they're like wait what did i do why did i do that we're gonna have we're gonna have a nation of crazy aunt margaret's and then the women behind them will observe and be like yo i ain't gonna be like crazy i'm margaret and you know the guys are gonna do at 45 and 50 they're gonna be riding around in their red convertible with their high paying uh job and tons of disposable income and they they're going to be like. Hey young 30 year old woman. Want to cruise up to that infinity pool.

At the penthouse suite. I got all the money. And he makes it rain. And then the younger women are going to be like. This is going to be great. But like you mentioned. They're going to see the crazy Ann Margarets. Then they're going to see these more powerful.

High status successful men. And a lot of women are going to be like. This 50 year old guy. I mean you look at movie stars. Like Leonardo DiCap dicaprio for instance he's always dating these young women why would leo date a 50 year old woman he's going to date these young women i'm not saying it's good or bad i'm just saying that's what they do the burgeoning crypto class of men come on let's face it it's mostly men who dabbled in crypto in 2011 and 12, maybe bought a thousand woman,

80 bucks, whatever. Those are the guys that are going to be running harems in 15 years, because eventually all the women between the ages of 18 and 50 are going to be competing for like the same group of men. It's disaster is coming in this, in this perspective. Disaster.

I used to hear these numbers like overpopulation i mean i i was brainwashed with that growing up i thought for sure we're overpopulated and there's no rush to have four kids anymore it was in the same article the same time magazine that had the the great freeze the new ice age articles in it yeah and but now i'm thinking if you have a kid that you can teach that might be the kid that solves the problem and can reorganize earth to have host 80 billion people easily did your parents think that you would be having these conversations on a show about like computer code and the federal reserve if they didn't have a kid who was ian crossland the conversation wouldn't happen on this show it's a good point if you raise

your kids right they can be the savior it's not not incentive to have well i don't know maybe it is an incentive to have a kid you know sometimes uh your kids turn out to be i don't know crackheads that's not always possible sometimes crackheads are cool i'm trying to think back to that statement that this guy made an article which is very disturbing we what was it we were too successful we we right we did. We did the efforts that we- We dipped it too far. Yeah, we went too far with it. We went too far in disincentivizing fertility.

That's a terrifying statement, actually. It's like a supervillain. What did they do? What are the different things that they do? Feminism, abortion, the de-socialization of the family, the deconstruction of the family unit, Black Lives Matter, deconstructing the family union or family unit, etc. You know, it's really funny. There was a poll.

Oh, no, no fault divorce. There was a poll that was posted by Matthew Iglesias. We brought up, I think, last week. I was going to mention him, actually. He says this. He's like, I'm going to break the entire discourse. And it was married men, working married men and their opinion on who should, you know, what two parents

versus one parent versus childcare. And what I found was that everybody has a bias for exactly what they're doing. So that means if a woman is working, she thinks women should be working and childcare should take care of the kid. Of course, if the man is working

and he's married and the wife is watching the kids, the man thinks the husband should work. The wife thinks the mother should raise the kids. And that's why they chose to do it. Right. So this is what's really interesting, because whenever I have these conversations, I've seen a lot. I've never I've not heard from from women who are mothers about, you know, writing articles about why women shouldn't

be in the workplace or why they would be happier with kids. And the reason is they're not. So it's an interesting predicament for the women who like being stay stay-at-home mothers, they don't have the career status and power to write these articles unless someone opens the door for them. Whereas the prominent journalist class or activist feminist class, they're the ones writing for all these blogs. So the only thing you're going to hear is their perspective. Jessica Valenti. Right, right.

She was the lady who wrote that article where she was like, catcalling is offensive. And then a year later, she's like, I'm sad no one catcalls me. Uh-huh. How it started, how's it going? Right, right, right. Here's the funny thing. This is the one subject that really triggers people. I love mentioning this because invariably, they're going to clip this and make videos about it.

And they're going to say insult and all that other dumb stuff. I don't care, dude. I'm successful. I'm having a good time and we got to talk about this. The question is, according to Gallup, it was like, do you think women should be working or whatever?

And 56% of women said they would rather have a career than be a stay-at-home mom. But that means 44% of women told Gallup, despite everything you might hear in the press, they would rather be stay-at-home moms. That's close to 50-50. And I think those women who have careers and all that, I'm stoked. More power to you. That's awesome. I'm glad you found happiness. But that also means there's a lot of women who don't want to do that. And those are the ones I think aren't being represented properly in the media because

they're not working. You know what I mean mean they're not in these careers in these jobs they shouldn't pull women they should pull their children what do you think would you rather your mom be at work all day or at home taking care of you would you rather your dad be at home you know playing ball and going to the park with the dog or at work if you had to choose one of your parents has to go to work oh my mom why do you think the kids gonna they're gonna pick mom why do you think so because mom care takes mom takes care mom makes the peanut butter i wanted my mom out of the house because she was the slave driver when you were seven yeah she was the mean one she was the lawyer and my dad was the fun well she's a lawyer no she was like the lawyer of the house i think what you're missing is that if mom is the caretaker, then the kid is used to mom being there and he's feeling bad.

He doesn't see dad enough. So when asked, I'll say, I want to see dad more. Get it? He sees mom all the time. And you may be right about the mom taking care of the kid, but it's also more proximity. Mom means more stern attitude from mom as well. Look, kids, we're going to take one of your parents away. Which one do you want it to be?

You're right, because my mom was stern, but probably only because she was around all the time. We're going to go back in time. We're going to pull up this next article because I'm willing to trigger the internet once again. This is a story I covered from the New York Post. Women are struggling to find men who make as much money as they do.

And I gave a very simple hypothesis. And people did not like it. Because it was an offensive hypothesis. I don't care. The hypothesis goes as such. If there is a 30 year old woman. Who's working a job. And she makes 75k a year.

And there is a 30 year old man. Who works a similar job. And makes 75k a year. The woman looks at the guy and says. That's my peer. That's who I want to be with, or someone who makes more money. But that guy who's 30 making 75K a year

is not looking at a 30-year-old woman. He's looking at a 22-year-old woman. OKCupid data showed us this, that no matter what age the guy was, he would message 22-year-old women. Guilty as charged. And I got to admit. Hello, except for me, the number is 24.

No, my age range is like 21 to 45. I'm not a fan. That's not for me. Of 24-year-old girls? I'm not. I mean, the idea of, I guess, hooking up with a 22-year-old, sure, I get. And when I'm talking about a legitimate relationship where you actually want to have a life companion, have a family, I think it's absurd to be a 35-year-old man reaching out to 22-year-olds.

Yeah, she'd have to be really evolved. Yeah. That's why I said 22. No, 24. But even 24. Eh. 26 is the best. I've had three significant relationships in my life, and each one of them began with a

girl who was 24. When I was 24, when I was 30, when I was 40. Let me read this. Let me read this. Okay. The New York Post writes, the country is facing a crisis of broke dudes according to new research from cornell university and it's left successful single successful ladies single and disgruntled i wonder if they misunderstood the data when they ask women are you finding men your age who have money

i think the issue is it's not so much that the dudes are broke but that even if a guy is 30 and he's making 25k less than the woman he's not going to choose a woman who's 30 no the problem is is the women are making too much money okay is that a problem because it's ruined evolution it's ruined everything that is built into a woman's brain a woman wants to marry a guy who's lateral or above and if a woman makes so much money it reduces her pool of available men the fault of there not being enough men is the fact that women make too much money yep boom done end of story you think you you so you're saying this is this is they're getting what they've asked for. I think. Ha, ha, ha. Live in that. I think. By the way, I've got a young girl at home myself.

Boom. Get rich. I don't know if I agree with that. Yeah. I agree. No, it changes. It's all about a dynamic. If the girls were making $35,000 a year and that same guy was still making $70,000 a year,

she'd be like, there's men. There's just eligible men all over the place. But now she's making the same as the guy. And she's like, I don't want him. But I don't think that's absolute i think that if there was a guy making 50k a year and i won't make him 150 he'd be like this is great like we're gonna have tons of money actually uh pew has done a number of studies on this very thing and women say that they want to date a man and marry a man that makes more money than that but everybody wants to marry up no i don't want to marry up okay why would i want to marry a woman that makes more money and works harder than I do and

spends more time? I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I said, marry up. How are we calculating? Do you want to marry like a woman who sleeps in the gutter? So it doesn't have to be money. It's like if she had a heart of gold and was willing to take care of my house and was kind

of hot and good with kids. I don't care what she does as long as she's going to stop doing that and she's going to start taking care of the family. Wow. True, true story. May I interject? This is a societal difference. No, actually, this is evolution.

This is me as a man speaking to women as women. This is not crazy things. Go ahead. I think that Jack is correct. I believe that this is what is known as hypergamy. Hypergamy, Hypergamy. So I have read that men become more depressed when their spouses make more money than they Of course they do because men thrive on status.

This is not a case of just having a bunch of money. This is very much about who earns the money. And for guys, it is very important to make more money than their spouse. And I'm not going to say that's materialistic. I'm just going to say that's the way that it is. And this is the data that I've read. This depresses men to make less than their spouses. This increased the risk of divorce. Like it's actually a problem for guys. Look, men are hardwired to build, create, provide, and protect. And if you take away the things that we do, then people are going to feel terrible.

I'm glad you brought this up because, dude, I've been writing and thinking about these issues for 10 years, man. And I just spent two hours on Benjamin Boyce's channel ranting about this stuff in my most lucid state. As a matter of fact, please check it out. I was on a roll talking about this. This is the chickens coming home to roost in 148 out of 150 of the top metropolitan areas in the in america entry-level women make more money than their entry-level counterpart males right and they're unhappy about it yeah they've all been herded into college saddled with that

they get good jobs they look around the men are just the same as them there's nothing exciting about that. There's no hopeful future in that. There's no, this guy's going to build, create, protect, and provide for me. I can already build, create, protect, and provide for myself, says the woman. And that's why, Tim, I think you're off on this. this dynamic where a man and a woman could be just as smart, just as interested in the world, just as capable, but by virtue of the age difference, the man is more established. The woman is less established. You have that status difference. The man can provide and

protect. The woman can nurture and love and caretake. And people are happier that way. I strongly recommend men don't get married until you're 35 until your career is established you got your money and then definitely look for a woman who's about 10 years younger than you that is a hundred percent what was the pew research you're talking about so i'm trying to find it pew research uh consistent studies that show women uh prefer to marry a man that makes either as much money as them or more or more. Never less. Never less. I cannot. I will find it.

I will find it for you. I will find it for you. I can find, though, this story, this study from 2017. Americans see men as the financial providers, even as women's contributions grow. Even as women are starting to make more and more salaries, men are still viewed as the breadwinners. Yeah, as they should be. That's the way we're designed.

That's why we have testosterone. That's why we have big muscles. That's why we could smash things. That's why women are soft and sweet and they like to cuddle things and they feed them from their breasts because they literally give other humans life. That's how we're designed. It's what our hormones do. Oh, this is crazy.

Can't believe we're getting into this on this show. Jack Murphy, what are you doing? We're going to get in so much trouble. Let's do it. From Market Watch, May 27, 2019, this one thing in your marriage increases the risk of divorce by 33%. Oh, what is it? Women making more money than men?

Dude, tell us. It is. That's the image. The financial gender balance within marriage seems to be changing at a faster pace they say it could be a race to the finish in more ways than one when wives earn more than their husbands some men just can't handle it that's what's up neither can the women nobody can nobody likes only jessica valenti out there gets off on making more money than her husband only jessica valenti gets off there thinking that her husband is at home.

He's so sexy. He's so powerful and masculine. He cut the crust off the kids sandwiches and he wears his slippers in his health robe all day. Only Jessica Valente thinks like that. I've, I've, I've seen, and if they don't,

I'm sorry. And if the women give lip service to this notion, they're lying. Well, I wonder if it's about money or because I know because I don't know if it's about money. Like it's about status and power status and power because if a guy becomes the president, he doesn't make a lot of money, but he's super powerful.

He will have and women love that. It's about power and status and there's no fault in women for this. Women historically do not have physical power. The way that women have physical powers by proxy we are the neck that turns by making men do things for them using cunning guile beauty caretaking nurturing and delivering children men are proxy power for women this is this is the way you survive in the caves in the wilderness they can't go around beating the you know beating up the bears and they can't go around beating up the the hostile groups

that are going to take us over so you got to get a man to do it for you how do you get a man to do it for you look cute you look pretty you take care of shit here's what here's what they say they say the risk of divorce is nearly 33 percent higher when a husband isn't working full-time according to money work and marital stabilityital Stability, Assessing Change in the Gender Determinants of Divorce, a 2016 study of more than 6,300 couples by Alexandra Killewald, professor of sociology at Harvard University. Quote, for marriages formed after 1975, husbands' lack of full-time employment is associated with higher risk of divorce.

Expectations of wives' homemaking may have erodedoded but the husband breadwinner norm persists the apparent disconnect may be due to peer pressure or attitudes passed down from parents another theory through evolution a persistent glass ceiling for women at work may encourage men to believe they should also be the highest earners at home one thing they never talk, though, is there's always an excuse, but it's always the man's fault. Of course it is, because everything is the man's fault, period. This sounds like it's like a lack of purpose issue.

If someone doesn't have a full-time job, maybe they're missing purpose in their life and they become much less attractive. That is a separate issue, but yes, you're exactly right. People don't have a mission or a purpose or an expression of values that's unrelated to their source of income. And people have terrible, horrible lives when their values and their mission and their purpose

aren't aligned with the things that they have to do to earn money. I would even like to see independently wealthy people that inherit a bunch of money that don't have jobs and see their rates of success in marriage, because I think that would be low also. If you don't have something that you love outside of yourself. Those two things aren't necessarily the case you can be born with a lot of money and have passions you know yeah building no meat or but my point is or whatever it's not that women or men seek money in their partner it's that they seek drive ambition status and power or potential for it no

what they seek is deferential power that's what they both parties seek what do you mean by that because you can be a broke-ass dude and find a woman that looks up to you who because she's broker right this is relative power yes it's about relative power it's about relative power and relative status a woman that doesn't have a job doesn't career doesn't have any education latches on to a guy that's got a minimum wage job and has a room in a house somewhere. Well, she's moving up in the world, right? It's all about relative power.

And that's why the more, okay, look, more women graduate high school, more women apply to go to college, more women graduate college, more women get hired out of school for jobs. Women make more money than men coming out of school. Yep. Women live longer, are healthier, have less alcoholism, drug use, suicide. And at the end of the day, they control more wealth when they die. Yep. Okay. Interesting.

And all these things are pushing and they're happening. They're happening. And at the same time, women's satisfaction in life has gone down. Marriage rates have gone down. Divorce rates are going down, but less so than with the marriage rate. So more people are getting divorced. Fertility is down. Childbirth is down.

Happiness is down. Why? It's not because we live in a world that's like horrible, terrible place. We live in a world of abundance. We have everything that we want. This is the greatest time to be alive. Hold on. Finish this we want this is the greatest time to be alive i got i finished this thought it's the greatest time to be alive but these women are miserable because they make more money they're more educated they have more power than they really want and the pool of men available to them diminishes with each step that they take up the ladder it is a self-defeating cycle that we can all observe on the outside.

And man, I'm so glad we're talking about this. I've been writing about this stuff 10 years. I'll make it simple. It doesn't matter if it's the men's fault. They want to write these studies and they say men can't handle that women make more money than them. It's like, okay, well, that just means that women still can't date the men. You can blame the men for it.

But if a woman wants to date a man and she wants to find a good man and men don't like this because you think they can't handle it, well, then make a choice. Get better. Do you want to date them or do you want to adhere to what the man wants? So it's like when you're in a relationship, you don't just dictate the relationship. You don't say, you're dating me now. That's it. No, every relationship is, are we providing something to each other in some capacity that

makes us feel fulfilled? The relationship will work? If this story from the New York Post says that, you know, these women can't find men who make as much money as them, and then this other study says men can't handle it, well, then it sounds like— It sounds like both parties are dissatisfied, bro. By all means, say the men are losers who can't handle it. Okay, that still means the woman doesn't get a date. Yeah.

So there we go. It's an impasse. Right. Well, the system is flawed. We've just decided to just, and this is feminism. This is critical race theory. This is SJW. This is the whole thing about the radical left.

We have obliterated the differences between men and women in our minds and in our discourse, but you can't erase the biological evolutionary differences that are built into us over millions of years. But social influences as well. That's a big time, because when you remove the incentive to do better to people, then they strive less to do better. I've done my best work, for the most part,

when I didn't have enough, and I needed to get more. I was seeking that power. Once I get the power, I find that there's this tendency to sit on my laurels, to rest back and be like, now I have it. You gotta work on that, bro. Right, so I have to create this outside,

invisible enemy that I need to overcome, basically. I love Peterson's work. He talks a lot about this stuff. I keep thinking about him when we're talking about this. So this whole social structure where you have enough, you have everything, government's gonna take care of you you i think it's killing incentive i also think that you insult and demean the maturity and capabilities of 24 or 5 year old women yeah absolutely there's no reason in the world a mature established 35 year old man cannot have a healthy productive

fruitful relationship with a woman 10 years younger than him i didn't say that i just think you just said they were immature and they shouldn't be matched up 22 okay 22 23 24 look they're women mature way more college women mature way more quickly than men dude that's way more quickly preference at age 15 women they're basically women already right and it's like men take men hit their prime in their 30s 35 why wouldn't a man in his prime latch on to a woman in her prime why not that seems the most logical thing possible that's what's happened for millennia for millennia older men would marry like 15 year olds and the societal the societal shame around dating a younger woman is just jealousy.

It's jealousy. Because as you said, every man in the world wants to date a 22-year-old woman. According to OkCupid data. According to OkCupid, your own two eyes, all of history, every piece of literature, every book you ever saw. Because it's not your opinion. OkCupid actually tracked all the messages. And they found no matter how old a guy was

from even younger guys. Why do you think that is? Always mentioning 22-year-olds. Why do you think that is? I think evolution, like biological reasons. Right, exactly right. And what OkCupid found

was that very disgustingly, in my opinion, men are actually attracted to women much, much, much younger than that but would not want to have a family with someone younger than that.

So men choose 22 as the equilibrium between mental and physical maturity why is that disgusting there's nothing there's nothing wrong with little kids of course dude well that's that's that's a hyperbolic on my part right but there's literally nothing wrong with seeing a woman of fertile age and thinking she is an attractive sexual partner but like acting on that with an 18 year old woman is a completely different story but there's nothing wrong with seeing an 18 year old girl woman and being like oh she's attractive of course she is she's in the prime of her beauty 18 okay cupid data said men want women younger than that okay well and that i find creepy yeah it is society society has rules like it is creepy today but guess what it wasn't

creepy until just recently i don't know all of humanity all of history all the time i still think it was creepy i think i think i think a lot of past cultures did a lot of really creepy gross stuff yeah of course of course and of course i'm not advocating for guys in their 30s like ritual sacrifice anyone under 22 but i think it's perfectly reasonable to have a relationship with a woman who's in her early 20s if you're in your 30s. Well, that's absolutely reasonable. Let's go to Super Chats. Yes.

Oh, here we go. We're going to have... We'll do a bonus segment. Yeah, you're on for that, right? Yeah, man. I'm on for it. It won't be too long, though. I'm up for it.

I got to go. Plus, I got a guy at home. I got a 14-year-old woman... A woman 14 years younger than me at home waiting for me smash the like button my friends and check out timcast.com because i think it's going to get spicy jack's going to go off on this this huge rant about manliness and stuff so we'll carry that conversation over but uh subscribe hit the notification bell share this podcast if you really do like it because that's what helps podcasts grow i keep hearing it from all these you know big wigs they're like well if you want

to make your podcast big people who listen to podcasts are the ones who tell people to listen to podcasts that's what you have to do and i'm like okay i guess that's the secret so if you want to help out let's see what we got here lmv 188 says love the show do you think the dems will evoke the 25th on biden or is it more likely he will die in office? More likely they evoke the 25th. You think so? I don't know if that they will, but I think it's more likely than him dying. Yeah, maybe.

No, I think life expectancies tell us that Biden's going to die pretty soon. Although, if you think about it, this study of all this life extension technology out of Harvard that they're working on, nicotinamide, mononucleotide, resveratrol, berberine, things like that. Aubrey de Grey, he said this like a decade ago. Ten years ago, he said someone who's 45 today will live to be 1,000. And it was also tying into what we were just talking about, you, Jack. I'm going to be 1,000? No, no, no. How old were you 10 years ago?

Oh, 35. So I'm going to be a thousand. No, no, no. How old were you 10 years ago? Oh, 35. So I'm even better. I'm golden. And what he said was, he's one of the most prominent senescence researchers. He said, it's not because we're going to invent immortality. It's because the things that kill people are being cured. People don't die of old age. They die of renal failure or heart failure or something like that. But as people are aging right right now medical technology is advancing faster than the than people are are dying so that's what he said 10 years ago it's we'll see if he's

tying into the what we're conversation we're just having about age like dating people and fertility rates because i think women will stay fertile much longer in this society and that 60 70 80 year old women will be able to have babies i don't know about that yeah it looks like it that's what the data is tending to oh wow all right we got it we got to go here josh says love the show tim been listening uh chief about a year are you still interested are you still taking guest recommendations no we never take recommendations mind you would love to see nicole arbor on your show smart lady and kick-ass comedy bless uh that's actually going to be happening yes it is at some point so she i think she's great i think she's hilarious she's great yeah let me know if you need to sit in on that

So yes, Brendan says, get Tom McDonald on the podcast. My friends, there are like 50 people that we've reached out to that are like, yes, we want to come on the show. And they're in Canada. You can't do it. Or they're concerned about the COVID. Justin.

Well, I mean, that's mostly lefties. But Justin Trudeau in Canada, he's like, he's sitting there at the border. He's like, you know, looking around, waiting for any of these people to try and cross over to the States. And then he runs over and he grabs them and then they lock him in a COVID hotel. He wants to come on the show, too. We've been trying to get him on the show. Trudeau? I would love to have Trudeau on the show.

I mean, yeah, but that's never going to happen. I want to see his socks. Trudeau, let's have some legitimate questions thrown at you in a two-hour sit-down where you can't leave. Why? Talk about COVID, man. For the first time in the guy's life, you have to tell the truth. That'd be awesome. You'd never do that.

People don't want to sit in the hot seat. He's an entertainer. He might. Oh, it's interesting. Beautiful Bliss says, what's the counter argument for Democrats for declining birth rates? I wonder. Hi, Lydia. I don't know.

Probably say it's a good thing. All right, let's jump down what is this rantomatic says trump to biden voters are you sorry yet dell men says hello beanie compound great news minnesota governor uh government has rescinded their decision to spend taxpayer money on influencers for the derrick chauvin trial what how nice of them. Because Minnesota doesn't trust the government to do the right thing. What does that mean? Influencers?

Yeah, they were going to pay influencers to influence people about the Chauvin trial. Whoa. Whoa. Yeah, you didn't. I didn't know that. That's a story. Yeah, that's creepy. What?

I'm shocked you did not see that story. Northern Blue Collar says, hello from Maine. Keep up the great reporting. I love listening to y'all while I work. And we love getting your money in super chats. It makes it all worth it. Thanks, man. We got a new show coming.

I heard. Cults, Crime, Mystery, Paranormal. I heard. It's going to be more like a legit show. We'll do like 13 episodes. We'll record them on the weekends. And then we'll just like release them out. So it'll be not the same as like a topical news show.

It's going to be like- Evergreen. Evergreen Entertainment. For guests from cults and like alien civilizations redux. Yeah, I'm hoping we can get like a legit murderer like from prison. No joke. Like, yeah, that'd be awesome. I will

not be here that day. Not in the, they're going to be in prison. And so we'll record a conversation and we'll do. You're going to send Cassie in there. I don't know. It's up in there but uh the paranormal stuff i'm really excited for because i want to do this for a while yeah dude i want to get like a legit researcher who's like you know i work at this university we track this stuff here's what we think and then it's going to be great we're going to sound effects and creepy dude the cult stuff is

fascinating just the the mind of a cult member or reformed cult member i love that stuff especially with the age of cult person well there's a personality there's also some people who deny they're they're in a cult there's like reports of like here's a cult and the people like it's not a cult and so i'm really interested having those conversations i mean who gets to decide if it's a cult or not i don't know the size of the cult i don't know man i mean i've been watching so i watched the nexium series and i watched wild wild country what's wild wild country about oh that's about that indian guy and and his uh right hand woman

who took over a town in oregon or washington that's right that's right that's right yeah yeah and you know it's like what's a cult could they leave the nexium people couldn't leave they couldn't leave no they couldn't leave because they gave up collateral on themselves, like pictures of them cheating on their husband or whatever. Plus, they got branded and all these things. And then when they tried to leave, they wouldn't let them. But the wild, wild country people, they said it was a cult, but no one was forcing them to be there.

But did you see what Nikki Klein said? I don't know who that is. She was one of the members of the DOS. They call it the DOS cult. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's denied all of that. that she said it's not true she said the media was lying about everything it was sensational headlines i wouldn't be surprised yeah i wouldn't be surprised i mean i watched the nexium thing and it was about three episodes i'm not saying she's right i was about three episodes in and i was like i haven't seen anything i haven't seen anything wrong here yet

with nexium yeah oh really yeah at the first the first sex cult well that's how it was portrayed well so i'm not i'm not i'm saying the media has reported it as a cult nikki klein who i actually have met because i was at i think i met her i'm not sure i met some people from nixie at cpac and then i i think they introduced me to nikki klein and this was back when i was in a really old podcast and we were going to do a podcast we ended up not actually using it because that's when the news was breaking about the cult and all that stuff. So I wonder if we still have some of that stuff, but I'd be interested in talking to her.

Like you say, it's not a cult. There's all the stuff saying it was. And don't you think people who are in cults would deny being in a cult? I mean, what is a cult though? A cult is, is somebody looking in from the outside and not being able to understand the motivations of the people staying on the inside people people call things

a cult because they don't understand say christianity is a cult people have said it that's why i said the size well let's read some more super chats though northern blue collar says i love the debates you and ian have me too and then brian says free the code is the stupidest thing ever and only a vile socialist who doesn't code would say something like that. Something that ignorant code is work. I would say, to explain a little bit of that, I don't want to free all the software code in the world. I think it would be bad. But when a social network, which is a unique business that we're now dealing with in life, reaches 100 million users a month or something, that it becomes part of the commons.

And then I believe we have the right as sovereign citizens to take control of that commons and protect the commons and do that by freeing that software code. All right. I got to read this one. Bobby Bob says, I want Jack to hold me lovingly, rub his beard on my face and gently whisper freedom in my ear. Pasta must be involved. His choice.

Freedom. And freedom in fusilli. Okay, okay. Sounds good. All right. The civic nationalist says, the pilgrims fled because Great Britain wasn't religious enough. The U.S. was made by terrorists,

and you still paid for the goods destroyed. The U.S. is a failed state. There were more loyalists in the colonies. Stop talking about this. You are not able to. God save the queen. It's actually... So it's not

true that there were more loyalists that's just british propaganda from british nationalists but it is true cultists that it was only a plurality that wanted independence yeah it's true so there was a vote like the sentiment among the colony was like you know 38 says independence and then like you know 28 said loyalty and the rest said shut up and leave me alone and it was the shut up and leave me alone people that basically you know and if any one of them were just like okay we'll stay with great britain then we would have not have had independence what happened but they uh essentially abstained so all right let's see we have the federal reserve if we would have stayed with Great Britain.

Yeah. But it would have been called the Bank of England. All right. Let's see. Snap, crackle, pop, says Tim. Remember, the reason the dollar menu is now called the value menu is because of inflation and Democrat politics. Sparky the Pyro says, boy, am I glad. I'm glad I know how to grow food and hunt with these food prices.

Need me some chickens and a couple of goats. Yes. Well, we were considering goats, but they scream. Yeah, they bleep. They just yell. And so nobody wants to wake up to screaming goats. We're going to get chickens. I want to get roosters.

The roosters scream too loud. They're loud too. You know what? You're not going to realize. What are you going to do with a rooster, bro? The roosters scream too loud. They're loud too. Like, you know what? You're not going to realize. What are you going to do with a rooster, bro? The roosters protect the chickens. Oh. You let them walk around.

You got to have a chicken coop around here. I bought a big, massive chicken coop. You got predators, bro. What are you going to do with a rooster? You need hens and broilers. That's what you need. I have hens. So we bought a bunch of chicken coops.

Yeah. We're going to get a bunch of chickens. Do it. And I was considering getting a bunch of roosters. A bunch meaning like a couple because you need a bunch of chicken coops. We're going to get a bunch of chickens. And I was considering getting a bunch of roosters. A bunch meaning like a couple because you need a lot of chickens. The problem is they scream and we record in a studio here. Oh, true. Well, you know, in the morning it'd be like.

Midway through every single one of my podcasts, which I do at 12 o'clock. I'm doing one tomorrow and Thursday. The mailman comes and Rosie, my dog, barks. So around 1.15 in every podcast, Rosie barks and everybody laughs and then we just move on. It's just part of the show. Yeah, but roosters yell

randomly. And you're saying we don't need them? Well, if we take care of the chickens, if we want babies, I guess. Yeah, you can catch. You know, there's at the, you know there's a uh at the well there's one place i go to where they have three just they're big they're big roosters and they keep predators away yeah there's the and and so i was asking one of the guys there i was like the rooster is enough like we have dogs too and i was like there it is so roosters will run after

predators and they also tell the chickens to go home when it gets dark. So but we'll probably just set up a big enclosure where it's like we're going to secure it so that predators can't get in or anything. But if we have chickens, we can actually keep it in a secure area. The problem was we have a really great place to put it where it's surrounded on, you know, three sides. So there's no predator coming in only from one direction. And then we can actually secure that very, very well and then have the coop inside it secured as well the problem is it's close to the house so if we get roosters you're gonna hear the roosters everywhere so it's like maybe we'll just get chickens just get chickens we can always start with chickens i was thinking homesteading you have got eggs goats and herbs that's easy right it's like every morning you can wake up

to like a goat cheese omelet with like herbs and stuff to milk them that doesn't sound like that's not roughing it by any means that sounds amazing that's great i gotta go for a goat cheese omelet right now we gotta read some more we added some more so image jpeg says the only thing that can stop crypto is if governments go back to sound money won't happen however in my opinion b BTC is overvalued. Check out CoinFairValue. Satoshi's white paper was for e-cash, not store of value. That's fine, but it doesn't matter. I hear a lot of people saying this. They're like, oh, the original vision. So they have Bitcoin cash where it's like it's faster transactions and it's worth a lot less, but you can trade it really

quickly. They all exist. All these little cryptos exist where you can instantly trade value. The mines token, for instance, has value can instantly trade value the mines token for instance has value to some people and in the library token or whatever bitcoin has become a store of value that's that's it you can not like it but that's how it that's what it's become i think the problem is maybe satoshi didn't realize governments were going to be dumping massive amounts of money into this and that means the demand is massive and the supply is literally diminishing you know it's so funny that the government says no one is allowed to mint a currency but us uh what couldn't stop it so they're just letting it happen you can't stop it

happen why aren't they aren't they the ones buying everything and then they're buying it well maybe maybe m1 all that just buying up bitcoin so maybe the whole you can't print your own money supply thing should be tossed out the window I mean it's being ignored so let's just say you can print your own

money supply and change the constitution and let people make their own cryptos we gotta read some more we got a good one here Joey says I remember when the Whopper

was one dollar how much is it nowadays three like six bucks it was that's a guess 14 maybe maybe 16 years ago there was a burger king in my neighborhood and their sign was hard printed 99 cent whopper yeah yeah hard hard like it wasn't

something they changed it was permanently there and then i remember when they finally broke it yeah because it was it was not a banner. It was like the sign itself said Burger King and then under it, it said the 99 cent Whopper. And then eventually when they're like, that's too expensive, it just broke the sign. I lived in the South Side, man.

It wasn't like a good place. They were just like, get the hammer. Or someone broke it. I don't know. Maybe someone shot it. Last time I bought a Whopper is 229 maybe. They cost 419 now. Wow.

419. Matthew Stockhausen says, technically any state can leave the union if they want to fight the USA for freedom. That's a good point. Yeah, re-Texas. I don't think it's a good idea. Whenever they talk about secession,

like you'll have a blockade in the Gulf of Mexico, all that oil, the Fed's not going to give up that oil. You know, federal government, I should say. Do you think there's the stomach by the other 49 states in the union to actually say oh texas seceded other 49 states are going to be like invade them nope no that era has changed man look at scotland voting for independence like scotland was

essentially conquered wasn't it well i don't know anything about great britain i'm going to trigger all the british people they're going to be like no you know nothing and it's like okay fine whatever but we're at a point now where it's like i guess catalonia they keep trying to leave spain and then the federal police come in and just start beating people mercilessly so there you go i don't think people in the u.s would go for that yeah i know it's like the federal cops are not the state or the people are not the people there's like a that's why we're talking about like the nsa and the homeland security and the fbi like that's a lot of militant force that the federal government has we'll keep going through the super chats uh c hennessey says best analogy for america is a skyscraper and each floor is a year

of america the founding fathers laid the foundation and now the people on the 244th floor wants to take out the foundation that the whole 244th floor sits on. Indeed. Interesting. Katie says, have to sit with an assignment for six hours, forced to write about Black Lives Matter and white supremacy. I have to pass it to graduate this summer. So I would like to know if I only pass if I only pass if I go full leftist. Sounds like it.

Wow. I have a lot of time it's a time-honored tradition to write whatever it is you think your professors want you to write in order to get an a and not believe a single word of it so just do what everybody's always done in college or you're gonna write what you truly believe and frame it and throw the finger up here's a good a good super chat from welder he says tim no income tax no progressive tax only a sales tax the more you buy the more you pay. The rich that buy more will pay more and the poor can save. That's an interesting idea. I've heard that before.

Maybe you just do a really high sales tax, like relative to where it is now, like increase it so that it offsets everything. And then whoever consumes the most, that would actually be a good green solution, right? To all of these lefties who want, you know, to fight climate change and stuff. Because then you're basically saying, by all means, buy whatever you want, but there's a lot of taxes attached to those purchases. Value-add taxes are regressive. Yeah? Yeah, they're regressive.

In some places, they have a 19% VAT. It means if you spend $1, it's 19 cents. It's a lot. But if there's no income tax. No, I understand. But when VAT is just, I'm pretty pretty sure that is just known to be regressive because it does not increase percentage wise for rich people. Right. The poor people are paying the same taxes.

So it's regressive. But if rich people are buying tons of stuff like crazy, then they end up spending way more in taxes. Yeah. I mean, sitting in Luke's seat right now, I can think to myself, hey, I prefer when the government doesn't tax anything for anybody. The value-added tax is interesting. That's what Andrew Yang wanted to use to pay for basic income. And a friend of mine, Aaron, was explaining that the supply chain would be taxed at every point. So the people that grow the rice sell it to the manufacturers. There's a tax on it. And then that's the value. That's a value-added tax on that. Then the rice sell it to the manufacturers. There's a tax on it. And then that's the value.

That's a value added tax on that. Then the manufacturer sells it to the store. There's a value added tax on that. The store brings it to the person. There's a value added tax put on that. And then what it would do is cause a markup in the price of the product to cover the tax. All the embedded taxes along the chain. Right.

All right. This one's for you, Jack. Benjamin Haver says, I am 38 and have no family both of my own and older uh both of my own and older than me it's been a hard road also i'm a huge fan of y'all's work much respect no family yes i'm just super chat thank you thanks for watching the show appreciate it william kelly says hey tim how dare you for being exactly 10 days older than me and share my twin's name then again my twin is my political polar opposite. Oh, really?

Like a left, like you have a twin and then one's left wing and one's right wing or something? It's hard to sing. It's a confluence of worlds right there. My birthday is March 9th. It is coming up very soon. Happy birthday. In about six days.

And I will be 35 years old. A big year. Ryan Law says, wondering if you guys heard about how the National Guard troops at the Capitol are being treated. They're getting sick from raw and molded food i dm the story to your instagram tim uh i did and metal shavings yeah metal shave i saw that is that that's legit it's probably from

the cans when they're like making potatoes and they're scraping it oh no yep yep yep and now when i heard about the raw beef i was kind of like that's so bad i like my steaks rare i guess if you're getting garbage freezer food though and you don't know where it's been you probably want it to be cooked it's probably not steak tartar the raw chicken though yeah that's like dude they are mistreating these guys it is such they feed them raw chicken that's why i'm saying it feels like everything's falling apart when our national guard is supposed to be defending the capital and we can't even feed them properly you gotta defend the national guard before you use them to defend the capital you have you ever think about how these massive armies like the

crusades they have to have food man armies march on their bellies yep yeah have a huge baggage trans yep with their families and food so now you have the net you have one of the wealthiest countries if not the wealthiest country on the planet right now, can't get food to our own National Guard? In the capital. In the capital! It's not that they can't. It's that they won't. That's the case still.

The case is the case. But there's a big difference between somehow we just can't and we have all the resources in the world. Money printer go brr. We can't. We can't. We won't. Why do you think? What do you mean they won't? Like, what are they not doing?

What is a limiting factor from them buying high-quality food? Choice. Choice. It's a choice. Yeah. Same with hospitals. I feel like hospitals should have healthy food. Institutionalized food delivery is tough.

Schools, hospitals, and the military are suffering from a lack of nutrition that's a big problem and it's another part of why government is is kind of kind of an issue kind of i'm just saying if we can't tell me more about that it's a bit of an issue i could go into it all right we got to read this one mesa Mesa's own one. Mesa's one. I don't know why people are so mad at Cuomo for the nursing home stuff. He was just trying out a bold new strategy to solving the looming social society crisis. Yeah, too many old people.

Then we won't have to bring in more immigrants and we can solve the fertility issue, the entitlement issue, the great pyramid scheme that is America, by the way. We can solve that problem just by killing all the old people. This is a joke, obviously, YouTube overlords. This is important. Oh, boy.

Alex Ryan says, Tim, get a donkey. A donkey will act as a guard for your chickens. They're brutal to predators. It's an awesome sight to watch a donkey stomp a coyote. I've heard that. Wow. They'll just like get away from the chickens. The chickens are

my friends wow donkeys i hear donkeys are awesome they're great way better than horses were they bray is that the noise they make eeyah yep that's goat man jack says don't you judge my people's music yeah so when i when i lived in miami with adam the neighbors had a goat and just a goat would yell all the time so it's not enjoyable when you're trying to sleep and it's like 7 a.m and you're bleat on yeah it's on lead on bleeder catoriously wise says tim i've been in the beanie cult For about nine months now But I never got my new

Follower beanie Who do I contact? We don't have beanies do we? We actually reached out To a bunch of companies To make these kinds of beanies And it's hard Because it's dual colors

So you need like a good factory But everything was shut down For COVID Hey As an aside I wore the I'm a gorilla t-shirt yesterday And it is really comfortable

It's comfortable right? Good shirts huh? That's great I'm surprised Teespring Doesn't do beanies comfortable. It's comfortable, right? Good shirts, huh? That's great. I'm surprised Teespring doesn't do beanies. Maybe we should. Maybe they could. They do, but they're always these just like acrylic embroidered, not... We have liminal order beanies as well through...

Are they acrylic? No, they're really nice. They're not acrylic. Through Printful and Shopify. Totally sold out. Totally sold out. Can't get any more. Wow.

Oh, wow. Yeah. See, there you go. through printful and shopify and totally sold out totally sold out can't get any more wow oh wow yeah yeah see there you go jay rich says one of the biggest contributors to the declining birth rate is third wave feminism and the rise of gynocentric society centered around b-rating masculinity and browbeating men for being men make females women again yep so third wave feminism is this is the distortion of feminism over the last 20 or 30 years. Yeah. It's the step beyond like maybe they should vote. Yeah.

Maybe we're all equal. Yeah. It's the step beyond that. It's the step beyond that. It is. It really is. Mark Roberts says, Tim, I truly appreciate your cast and everyone's viewpoint. Thanks so much for your work.

Best to everyone. Hey, appreciate it. That was a great one. Thank you. Christopher Blummer says for Jack Murphy. Yes, sir. Do you think Keanu Reeves is a migtao migtao for those it means men going their own way i couldn't tell you i have no idea is he single have you seen i thought he was married to some older lady yeah no he's single i thought he was

married he was wasn't he 55 year old woman yeah he was silver hair yeah he was yeah really and all the photos of him with women his hands he's doing hover hands yeah yeah he's legit that one i i think was not i think that was legit like the me too thing was at its peak and then all these photos started emerging of keanu reeves and his hands were never on women and i'm like dude he's playing it safe i'm pretty sure he's dating an older woman who doesn't dye her hair and there was like a whole thing about it i remember even tweeting about it now that i think about it i have no idea if he's a MGTOW. I don't recommend that, by the way. Don't go your own way, man. Become a better man.

Find a woman. Have a family. Be a rebel. AI, or Al, whichever one, says, Tim, you seriously need to do a discussion on the mouse utopia experiment. It nearly perfectly mirrors the modern day problems. Also, promiscuity is killing the long-term dating world. Look up retroactive jealousy.

Oh, interesting. Yeah, I think I've heard about that. The mouse utopia experiment, I think I've read about that. Was that where like, they gave the mice everything they could ever want, and then they ended up just getting like fat, lazy, and then not reproducing,

and then just slowly dying off? Oh. Yeah, something like that. Look, the fertility issue is something that we should have actually a deeper discussion on, because it not just the united states it's europe as well it's everywhere with advanced technology i think that this is the precursor to some transhumanist kind of thing happening in a society like as a as a as an entity in a whole we might have some expectation of a of a you know huge change genderless. Babies born in test tubes.

Kathy's smacking you down. Smack smack down from Kathy. Oh, yeah, Kathy. What's up? Kathy Mac says, what is wrong with you people? What a sad generation. You pick a spouse by finding someone that enjoys the same things. I made twice as much as my husband, but it was all our money.

Also, we have been married 41 years. Good for you. Yeah, I like that. Good for you. Congratulations. I agree with that, man. I don't think that personally, I might be different than most, but I don't think the money... I guess I understand what you're saying about power and drive because I am attracted to women

that are driven to create and do something. Look, getting married because you like the person, this is a new thing. This is a new thing. This has never been the case. Romantic love is a new thing. This is a new thing. This has never been the case. Romantic love is a new thing. It's a modern creation. It is.

Yeah, it is. It's incredible. Yeah, it used to be like arranged marriages and dowries and all that stuff. And it was like the dad would basically sell off the daughter in a matter of speaking. I have the dowry and then there would be a good man. And then the dad would be like, I approve of this man. The opposite of selling. Yeah.

Right. The dad's giving the dowry. Oh right right yeah it's weird it's weird like the eligible men were yeah they receive you get a woman and a bunch of money right right right pretty good deal that's called the patriarchy yeah there you go patriarchy yeah it works great i i called and a stack of cash so i had a a friend and I jokingly called her a spinster and she got really offended. And I was like, why are you offended by that? And she was like, don't call me a spinster. And I was like, I thought that was like a funny thing nowadays. It's like it used to be an insult back then.

You know what I mean? What is it? Someone that spins hay? So it was typically the women who were spinning. Was it cotton? Cotton. That's not hay. It was because they were working.

They were working women. So they were called spinsters and then spins spinster became a term for a woman who wasn't married and didn't have kids because she was working right because she had to spend the rest of her life spinning up yarn yeah we live in it yeah but like nowadays it's like tongue-in-cheek it was like i think spinster insinuates that a woman is barren yeah really and a woman that doesn't have any barren societally like this with no husband no family no anything i'm sorry why would you be mad at me for that if you're like a high-powered working woman because it triggers the evolutionary brain that can't be turned off it's also how like the left tries calling men incels because

they're trying to go after masculinity yes it's a weird thing to do because it's like, I don't know, it's antithetical to what they claim to support. Of course it is. Dude, I just had a huge long thread this weekend on progressive alpha males and how they don't exist by definition. We should say that for the... For after? Yeah, we'll go ham on all that stuff.

Dude, that was a good one. That was huge. Travis Sharon says, Donkeys scream. I stayed that stuff. Dude, that was a good one. That was huge. Travis Sharon says, donkeys scream. I stayed at Lake Pleasant, Arizona last weekend. Loud. Okay, you convinced me. Hexperimental says, don't buy a donkey.

The donkey will mind control you. Then it will make you join and completely support the Democratic establishment. Oh my gosh, he's right. Get an elephant instead. There you go. Perfect. Then a tiger. Yes. I like it. We'll call it Never Neverland.

Oh gosh, let's not. KN Clark says, Washington State is sales tax only, no income tax. Bad idea. Poor can't save. They actually pay a higher percent in taxes just buying necessities. That's a good point. That's a good point. Steve Selena says, Tim, my birthday

is March 9th, gonna be 27. Love your show, bro, and I'm glad I share my b-day with such an awesome guy love you guys you know it's crazy day is Adams birthday is right before mine as well

yeah what is it March 7th yeah and then crazy bro it's a good year for birth there's another there's another person who has a birthday two days after mine but I don't know

if their birthday is is public so I won't say but we're gonna have a big party it's gonna be great maybe we'll do a show or something really big party I got my invitation must have great. Oh, nice. Maybe we'll do a show or something. Really big party. My invitation must have got lost in the mail.

Yeah, it sure did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. Where's the e-light? Come on, man. Here's some alcohol pads. Ink Spot says, get out of the cities. This is all building to the next world war, the new world order, and the culling through war, famine, and unspeakable strife.

Well, I don't know about all that, but i do think you will be ever so happy with chickens dude i just gotta tell you man i had chickens in miami they're hilarious they're like dinosaurs they're just funny it's like watching them do their thing they're just hilarious they're so dumb if you fell in a pit of chickens and passed out would they eat you yeah probably yeah okay they eat they eat your animals like they're carnivores. Yeah. They eat mice. When you ask someone, what do chickens eat, what do you think they're going to tell you?

They eat grubs. Worms. They eat bugs. And they eat grass. They eat grass. Yep. Oh, man. They mutilated my lawn.

Yeah. They tear up your lawn. So you move them around. Yeah. Hardcore. Well, you give them a big enough space to where they don't destroy the whole lawn. But they were just annihilating it. Yeah.

But the problem was the rooster we had was really dumb and kind of a loser and he would run away and not protect the chickens. So we were like, what are you doing? So we called him Norrin. Norrin the Wary? Yes. There's a card in Magic the Gathering

called Norrin the Wary. It's terrible. No, it's amazing. It's a brilliant card. The character is mortified and always running away that's the point well see even a male chicken that can't provide or protect is worthless good point nailed it evolution has spoken i would have chopped this you know what he would do you know it's really funny he would jump over the fence because he kept oh this is hilarious we didn't have enough chickens and we didn't realize this and he kept banging them like crazy and then he would jump over the fence people don't realize how high they can they can they can like they can do big jumps yeah they can almost fly they can't

really fly they can jump really high and then they like come down so he jumped over like i think it was like a six and a half seven foot fence and we can't get over it to get him and he jumps over because he can hear all the hot chicken ladies. So he's like, I'm a rooster and I can hear these chickens. And he jumps over. Here's the problem. Those chickens had roosters. And the roosters over there were massive, big old roosters.

And they basically said GTFO, but he wasn't smart enough to jump back over. So he would just get stuck in the corner and then we have to go to the neighbors and they would come over and pick him up and throw him over and i'll tell you the funniest thing ever he got trapped over there for like a day or two and then the the chickens we had were just like doing their chicken business and so we're trying to figure out like what happened to him he's gone and that was like the first time we realized he was jumping the fence and so we asked

the neighbors the neighbors were like oh is that your rooster we were wondering like where this thing came from so So they throw, they don't throw him over the fence. They put up, they drop him over the fence and then as soon as he lands, we're standing there and we watch him just run full speed

and then jump on the chicken and start banging the chicken. We all just bust out laughing. What is it like when chickens bang? They're like birds. He jumps on their back and then digs his feet and rips their back open.

Do they scream in pain? No. That's how cats do it. It's real quick. You'll see that woman cat just tearing it their back open. Do they scream in pain? No. That's how cats do it. It's real quick. You'll see that woman cat just tearing it up, screaming. Have you ever seen that?

All right, all right. We'll do one more here. Sam Bada says, Tim, get Rolo Tomasi on the show. He wants to be one. Jack's just paraphrasing Rolo's book, The Rational Male.

Rolo has been the authority on intersexual dynamics for 20 years now. Whatever. So we should have you in general. Whatever. I've knownxual dynamics for 20 years now whatever so we should have you whatever i've known rolo for 10 years i've known rolo before he ever wrote a book i know rolo before you're saying he should come on with you rolo and his whole crew blocked me a year ago that would be a good mad jelly mad jelly so now we're gonna read we're reigniting

the beef what is what is his premise roolo and I came up in the same place. Rolo, they call him the king of the manosphere. And I'll give him credit. He did write a lot of things down. But man, Rolo and me and a handful of other guys, Mike, who was even in here the other day, we all co-evolved that whole scene. We co-evolved the whole scene. I've been talking about this stuff for 10 years.

Same as Rolo. That would be really funny. That would be really funny. Hey, baby. We should have that chat.
