The officers out of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, who were involved in the shooting of Andrew Brown will not be charged. It has been ruled that the shooting was justified. So of course, this is not working out for Black Lives Matter protesters. They're already protesting in the city. Still light out. So we'll see what ends up happening. I don't want to say there will be riots. So it's just right now protests. But I think, look, there's going to be a weekend. And usually on the weekends is when things get really raucous. So we'll see. But there's a couple other stories that I really want to get into in this context, too. There's one story out of, I think it's Arkansas, where a man just stopped a mass shooting with a rifle. And you're not going to hear a lot about it

because it was stopped. And it was stopped because a guy was armed. So we hear our big fan Second Amendment. So we'll talk about that. And we've got a big story out of Philly. A DA who is backed by Soros. So that's true, right? Ryan's telling us backed by Soros might actually get crushed. So this is going to be interesting, all of these different issues coming together. And then Obama saying, you know, UFOs are real. So I guess we'll talk about that because, you know, everyone trusts Obama.

Yeah. Well, joining us today is writer Ryan James Gerduski. Thanks for having me on. Do you want to give a brief introduction of who you are and what you do? I am a political consultant and writer. I wrote a book called They're Not Listening, How the Elites Created the National Populist Revolution about national populism. I write about this a lot.

I have a sub-stack newsletter called The National Populist Newsletter. Every week, I come out with all the news for national populist candidates, political parties, politicians. Are you a national populist? I branded it, so yeah, I guess so. But I do this newsletter every week and basically all the news from all around the world with these people, and then I do deep dives

into elections and issues and demographics, and then I do an essay. So you subscribe to the newsletter on Substack or get the book, and I do campaigns for my bread and butter so wow yeah crossland over here from ian crossland.net did you say that the the that the elites basically created national pop yeah so like my whole philosophy is like one of the books so basically you know everyone who hated trump made him everyone from like the bushes to

the clintons all their policies from immigration to trade to war. They they you know, if you look at polling about immigration for 50 years, Americans wanted less immigration. They got more of it. They didn't want to sit there and go into Iraq. They didn't want to sit there and stay in Afghanistan. And they were just and in, you know, H.W. Bush ran saying, I'm not going to do what Reagan did. I'm going to break down military and not be involved in the world. He was defeated by Clinton, who said the same thing, who was replaced then by Bush, who promised a humble foreign policy.

He was replaced by Obama, who promised a peaceful foreign policy. And it was 25 years of Americans voting for the guy who said, I'm not going to be involved in wars anymore. And they got more wars. Issues like that, immigration, the degeneration of the West, opening up to China, all those people who sat there and said, no, this is going to be what's going to be mass prosperity. And you're going to love it, you know, middle America. And they got screwed over. And decades before, decades before, you know, it happened with Trump, we, Orban came to power in Hungary.

We had the parties in Denmark, parties in South America, parties in Africa. All these political parties were happening across the entire world, and they were going on notice. When Brexit and Trump happened, they were like, wow, this is incredible. Where did this come out from? No, it's been happening everywhere. You just ignored it. And that's how the elites created it, by the way, across the entire globe. Right on. We'll get into all that stuff. I'm also in the corner.

And if you're listening on iTunes or Spotify, give us a good review. Let's talk about this first story. And I got to tell you, my friends, boy, am I just over all of this. But I think it's important news. So sometimes the news can be boring. I'm not so sure that this is boring. I think it's going to heat up a lot of people, get them really angry. But I'm just, I don't know how many times I can hear a story about,

cop-involved shooting, Black Lives Matter is angry, demanding reform. Even after Black Lives Matter has actually won on all of these different cases, they just keep going. They don't stop. There's no end in sight. So here's the story from ABC News. They say no charges for deputies in Andrew Brown Jr. shooting. District attorney said the officers were justified in using deadly force, according to the DA. Elizabeth City, North Carolina, D.A. Andrew Womble said at a news conference Tuesday morning that three deputies who opened fire on Brown, a father of seven, were justified in their use of deadly force because Brown drove his vehicle toward them and allegedly made contact with one deputy twice before officers fired their weapons.

Womble said he made his decision based on the results of an investigation by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. Quote, Mr. Brown's death, while tragic, was justified because Mr. Brown's actions caused three deputies with the Posca Tank County Sheriff's Office to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others. Attorneys for Brown's family released a statement Tuesday afternoon calling Womble's decision an attempt to whitewash this unjustified killing and requested the U.S. Department of Justice intervene immediately. I don't know how much you want to bet that they will intervene immediately.

You know, if it was seen, if it, I mean, he was fleeing from the scene of a crime, right? And you can clearly see in the video the cop jumping out of the way. Well, not jumping, but he like spins out of the way. He was looking like he was going to run over the cop. Yeah. I don't know if the Department of justice i mean i don't know you never know what this with this department of justice but i don't know if they're gonna sit

there and say this is the case we're gonna you know fall on the blade for it was like that cop who shot that 13 year old 14 year old black girl who was wielding a knife about to stab another one sit there and say no this is you know she hadn't you know she was in i guess foster care and her mother was like she was a perfect child, you didn't even have custody of her. I don't know what you're talking about. But she was wielding a knife at the time. When you're in the process of committing a crime and you're stopped in the process of committing a crime, it's really hard to sit there and justify it. Everything is not George Floyd.

In this case, out of Elizabeth City, we've already got people protesting. At least I'm pretty sure there's a protest coming out of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. And I've heard already some of the audio, and people are chanting, hands up, don't shoot. Which is a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. I want to – it's a lie. Like Brown did not – he never said that, and it was people like – who's the woman from The View?

Sonny Hostin. Sonny Hostin, who was on CNN, who he never said that. And it was people like, who's the woman from The View? Sonny Hostin. Sonny Hostin, who was on CNN, who perpetuated that lie. And it's its own myth right now. That's like, it is bizarre how this is continuing. We bring the facts here on TimCast IRL. So I pulled up everyone's favorite source, Wikipedia, which says the United States Department of Justice investigation found the hands-up claim was inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence and the witness testimony surrounding the Brown shooting they are still chanting hands up don't shoot that's why I'm like I am kind of over this but what do you do when they're not and they want to throw a brick through

your window or burn down your house it's a it's a mob. It's a mob mentality, and you can't reason with a mob mentality. You can't. You can't sit there. Facts will never, ever perpetuate that, and you just have to sit there. I mean, let them protest, let them chant, whatever, but if they get violent, you just have to completely squash it. Like, you can't allow this to fester. But here's the other issue, too, because, you know,

we talked about this the other day with, like, gun control. I'm sure we'll get into it again. When a bunch of people believe a bunch of fake bs yeah and they're believing it because of protests and i'm totally i'm not disparaging the protests i'm just saying there is a spread of misinformation that results in laws which just make everything worse notably in brooklyn center minneapolis i'm sorry minnesota just north of minneapolis basically a part of minneapolis they're now going to have unarmed civilian traffic stops Oh, it's going to be wonderful

It's going to be great, right? That's defunding police So now you've got a bunch of untrained rookies running around as if that will make things better Then it gets worse, and they say, see, look, this proves it It's like, no, you It's like someone breaking something and then complaining about it not working

But because you sit there and we have been trained, basically, to say if you have an emotional, if you're emotionally disturbed by something, it's really you're in the right because you have a lived experience. So therefore, it must be true. There's this great guy on Twitter, Greenberg. He's a sociologist. He's some kind of sociologist or whatever. Zach Goldberg. Zach Goldberg. That's it.

Okay. Some kind of Jewish name. He Goldberg. Zach Goldberg. That's it. Okay. Some kind of Jewish name. He's great. Yes. Fantastic. But he did data on more black Americans today feel like there's discrimination than did in 1965. And that is, and actually the number of, even though the number of black men in prison is

down substantially by huge numbers, I think by 30 or 40 percent, and arrests of black men are actually down, the number of black men who report being harassed by the cops or being arrested or being targeted is up.

So by sitting there and saying, repeating constantly, you are a target, it is like creating some kind of social condition in our country. I watched this hilarious video where an ATF guy, he's serving some kind of social condition in our country i watched this hilarious video where an atf guy he's serving some kind of war and i don't know what he's doing he goes to

this woman's house because she bought a shotgun and he wants he's a white guy and he wants to check up on this shotgun purchase well the lady is sees a guy in plain clothes banging her door and screaming you know like yelling let me in so she calls the police and says i don't know who this guy is the cops show up and they tell the guy not to move. Well, this guy's an ATF agent. So he's like, yeah, it's fine. I got my, they see the gun and they're like, they pull up their guns. Don't move. Get on the ground. And they're screaming at him. And this guy resists. He says, just let me get my ID. I'm a federal agent for heaven's sake. And they're like, shut up. stop resisting. The cops are yelling,

stop resisting. They try putting him in an SUV and he's using his head to stop them from getting in, just like George Floyd did. And I'm like, how amazing is it that this white ATF agent is being treated the same as we've seen many of these other videos where they're claiming it's racist. If you resist the police, you're going to make everything substantially worse. Even if the cops are wrong, and they often are, a cop will stop you. You'll be the wrong person. This guy's an ATF agent. The cops are stopping him.

They were wrong. But if that ATF guy immediately put his hands up and they said, what are you doing? He says, I'm an ATF agent serving papers. You got your ID? Yes, sir. I do. It's in my back pocket. You can go ahead and take it.

They'd be like, all right, you're good. Instead, he starts yelling at him. He reaches for his waist. Don't cause problems with cops who don't know what's happening. This is the big issue. I just want to make this one more point. Everyone assumes when a cop shows up, he's psychic. He's omniscient, omnipresent.

And they're like, I called the police. The cop's going to show up and just know everything. Cop shows up in the Makai Bryant case. He has no idea who called, no idea what's going on. He just sees people fighting. Somebody pulls a knife back and he goes no and he tries just a girl screaming i'm gonna bleeping stab you and while waving a knife and he's gonna sit there saying no it's a butter knife it you know it wouldn't make that big of a of a difference it's and then and the ironic thing was a 13 year old girl was murdered by a knife attack by another

13 year old girl like the following day and i just wonder why those parents never spoke up and said like i wish we had an officer or that girl who survived they don't want the cops and i respect that i do you will respect that they don't want the cops to save their daughter who's being stabbed to death or the girl who survives in there and saying i'm thankful he showed up no no if someone says i'm thankful the cop saved my life i respect that and if someone says we I'm thankful the cop saved my life, I respect that. And if someone says, we do not want police in our neighborhood, I say, okay. But I'm sure that they probably, maybe they didn't, but I doubt if your daughter is dead, you don't sit, you sit there and say, and actually when they do polling, most, most people do want cops in their neighborhood.

They do. That's true. So I doubt that they're not going to defend the police if they're not going to stand up for them while they're being defunded and stripped and abolished and all that stuff. And I don't think they, yeah they yeah but you know here's the problem it's that it's that minorities vote for the democratic party which is controlled by white liberals who institute their beliefs that they have perpetuated all minorities don't actually get to govern themselves in many different ways so that's exactly that's the that's the sixth cycle

that's happening in most of these cities we got this guy ben crump you know he's he's this this lawyer who goes to each and every one of these events and tries to pump them up and make them high profile. So I actually just did a hit on Fox News talking about masks and stuff. But while they got me sitting, they have these really cool things with these vans. The van pulls up to the house and you open the door and it's like a studio. So people see me on TV and they think I'm in like a building. I'm in a van in a parking lot. It's crazy.

That happens to me in New York too. And I always think I'm like, my van's going to get towed while I'm on air. And it will be the most viral thing I ever do. I'll be flying back in my chair as my van is being towed away. So anyway, but it's their van. It's their van with their camera and their setup. But at the beginning of the show, they were talking about Ben Crump and how he once represented a family when a 13-year-old – I think it was a young woman was killed because the story was that she was killed by a white man.

Then once he found out it was a black man, he just leaves. He's like, I'm out. Oh, we don't want to do that. So I bring this up because right now this guy is out. He goes out into North Carolina where this is going down, and he shows these big cards where it's got a human body, and then he draws the bullet holes like he did the same thing with Michael Brown. And he's out there pushing this narrative, and I'm kind of losing my train of thought on this one.

About how he's perpetuating these crimes and to advance himself basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all about making money, showing up, getting into the moment, claiming something happened. But you don't see this guy showing up in New York City this one this woman walked a black woman walked up to another black woman put a bullet in her head yeah he didn't show up with this card and draw a picture of where the bullet was he didn't care at all but here's here's my point i made this point before but just in reference to they don't want cops did black lives matter protest for this woman no did anyone say we should have more police to help protest no not publicly are there any high-profile

democrats coming out and saying, we must stop this violence? No, because they don't care. And if they don't care, I don't care either. And if they want to live that way, I'm fine with it because I don't live there. I'm sure the individual families or the neighbor care, but there is a whole entire system to build up these stories that the media jumps

on, that then activists jump on, that money gets involved in. But this all changed with the Al Sharpton boomer generation, because what used to happen with ethnic politics in cities, in major cities, like in New York, is that there were constituencies, Irish, Italian, black, whatever, and they would demand certain things for the whole community, money for the St. Paddy's Day parade, money in this project, or whatever the case is, and the whole community would benefit. And then people like Al Sharpton said, no, give me a million-dollar contract as your spokesperson.

I will do better representing the community, but the community itself will not advance. And that has been the model ever since is that the spokesman does well while the community suffers as opposed to old-school politicians from 60, 70 years ago where they would throw, you know, $100,000 so the community could have a parade or whatever the case may be or school or whatnot. Now it's just let's advance a spokesman and make them enormously wealthy. And then what happens after this guy leaves? I'm sure a whole lot of nothing. Well, they probably leave the neighborhoods destroyed.

Yeah. Struggling to recover. Yeah. And this guy gets millions of dollars. Remember that girl, that woman in minneapolis who was like in tears because she had nowhere to buy her daughter's medicine because the only cvs was burnt down in like yeah of course they don't care but that's that is that is so typical of wealthy people with working class people is that oh yeah it's funny no it's it is so typical of

all types of working class people um but it's especially perpetrated on the poorest who are stuck there. The right today sounds functionally more left in many ways than leftists do. I know. It's true. Because I see leftists and they're like redistribute wealth. And I'm like that in no way helps the workers support themselves. Like it's just. Did you see that child actor?

I forget his name now. He is Schroeder. Schroeder. He was yelling at the guy at Costco for making him wear a mask. Whatever his name is. That is what the left does, though. It's like, hey, let's punch at the people who we have some kind of power over. Because there is a dynamic thing going on between the billionaires, the wealthy, the companies that sponsor all their events.

They make them wealthy. They will never actually target Tim Cook for displacing American workers with the H-1B system, but they will always punch the guy that they feel superior towards. During Occupy Wall Street, they put up a shrine to Steve Jobs. That is so funny. Now, when I say they, I'm not saying it was like everyone came and voted to do it. Activists at Occupy Wall Street created a shrine around a tree for Steve Jobs. That is perfect. And that is what they believe in. Maybe it was the one libertarian or ANCAP guy

who was chilling there and he's like, I love this stuff. And he's like reading Atlas Shrugged or something. Did anyone tear it down? No, no, no. They had candles and people were like, yeah, Steve Jobs is cool. Did he just die? Yeah, I think he died around that time. Oh, okay. Well, it still doesn't make any sense. But like, yeah.

Yeah, but that's perfect. That's a perfect example because you want to. I mean, but they depend on those organizations. How much money to BLM get from these billionaires who wanted to feel good and they want to sit there and write their, you know, back a thousand years ago in the Catholic Church, you'd write, you know, your check to sit there and get your sins washed away. They get their white privilege washed away. They do the entire performative art program. A few people got very, very wealthy over it. The system didn't change at all.

And we're still going to take an H-1B visa worker over training a black person from south-side Chicago or north-side Chicago or wherever. I just love this. I just pulled it up just to be sure. October 5th, 2011 is when Steve Jobs died. Occupy was September 17th, 2011. Okay, so he just died. So it's October, and I remember seeing the shrine set up, and I'm just like, how amazing. Steve Jobs is one of the most ruthless businessmen this planet has ever seen.

Just amazing how callous and nasty he was. The stories of him screaming at people, ripping off ideas, and the people at Occupy Wall Street are like, it's good, cool, man. Put a little thing on my head. There you go. And he had a massive inequality

from his workers. Oh, definitely. My massive inequality. But, you know, listen, if that's what you're sitting there, because Apple's the thing to do and it's part of their identity program, and these were a lot of,

Occupy Wall Street were wealthy kids from trust fund families who needed an identity. ones organizing it were yeah i know them personally yeah and they they didn't they did not go home to sit there and and you know have to struggle being a blue collar worker well this is the funniest thing about occupy is that you had a bunch of people sleeping in the park with no voice being told to shut up and then the people organizing it went home to brooklyn to their apartments paid for by their parents yeah yeah and they would steal stuff. And when donations would come in, take it and be like, but I need this.

It's better that I take it than other people. And they would hoard stuff. Really? Yeah, it was so crooked, the whole thing. I just love the idea that in like 20 years, there'll be all these books from the activists about what really happened. Well, there'll be university professors by then. Right. They'll be like running universities. I was there and I'll tell you what happened and they will lie out of their asses about

what really went down at Occupy Wall Street. It was crooked. It was so crooked. But that's what's happening with BLM. The woman has like five homes now. Right. I mean, she's got five homes now. She's not housing any homeless people with mental health problems who are homeless in

Washington, D.C. Well, she is collecting houses so that she can at some point distribute them. Sure, yeah. Her and Bernie Sanders. I mean, they got like, you know, one day all these houses will be available for people. Can I just point something out? People need to understand Bernie, he's got what, three houses? Three. And this lady's got five?

Yes. It is insane to think you can maintain you need staff for this like i wonder if people actually think about one of bernie's homes was inherited by his like wife's family but the other one is it's a vacation home it's a vacation on the water in the river in vermont which is a million dollar home people need to understand this especially when it pertains to like homelessness and stuff you can't just have a house sitting empty. You can't.

There's got to be upkeep. What happens if this lady's got five houses, right? What happens if a pipe bursts? Yeah. Does the house just flood out and destroy? Yeah. Someone's got to be maintaining it. Someone mows the grass.

Someone probably dusts. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, absolutely. There's a staff. You've got to have people maintaining the stuff. It costs money to maintain these buildings. And they're probably also not black or employed. I mean, imagine if she sets her and hired like, you know, a Hispanic illegal alien to sit there and maintain it instead of at least employing a black person to do a job.

That would be, I guess, the bare minimum you sit there. I don't care so much about the race, but how much you want to bet she is employing undocumented or. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And that is the hypocrisy of all these organizations that sit there and do everything they can to displace American labor, because it's quote-unquote expensive, and get foreign labor as fast as they can.

And they're the first ones to sit there and say there's mass inequality. Well, who is creating... This is a quote from the book Cold Mountain, but it's like being in control of the weather and sitting inside the rain and saying it's raining. Yeah, of course. No, no. You know, I can't curse.

But yeah, exactly. No joke. Well, let's talk about the political ramifications because we got this Philly D.A. race. Yes, it is. I've heard about it, but you were saying something crazy. So it's Larry Krasner is his name. He is the district attorney. He was a former defense attorney and a public defense attorney. And he was a source back in.

He was soft on crime. He did not. He didn't charge a series of crimes during the BLM riots, including like, you know, breaking into windows, destroying public property, destroying private property. Didn't prosecute anything. And now he's being primary by getting a Carlos Vega, who is a prosecutor, is a career prosecutor, is Puerto Rican descent. And he is being challenged in the district. And if this happens, it will be the first Soros backed candidate to lose after being elected. But there's been a huge surge of murder in Philadelphia.

Like it is. Oh, yeah. I mean, we we don't we didn't only get 90s, like, television shows in the last year. We got 90s crime rates in the last year. And this is definitely one of them. And look, in Philadelphia, I mean, these people, they have to live with it and they have to deal with it. So, I mean, and it's a Democrat primary, by the way. So there's no Republicans involved.

It's just Democrats. This is what's been happening across the country. The cops will arrest one of these extremists who are burning things down or smashing things or punching cops and then the soros back da's or these leftist da's will just be like there's no crime here i didn't see anything and then you get somebody who like didn't wear a mask at a burger king and they prison like banging the gavel they start beating them like yeah no in public no and that's and but they go after the ones who don't who can't fight i mean that's the thing and they don't want. No, and that's, but they go after the ones who don't, who can't fight. I mean, that's the thing. And they don't want to sit there.

And they don't, and they want to pretend that they're, you know, protecting these people. But in the meantime, you're having this lady, you know, who doesn't have a CVS now to get her insulin from or whatever drug she was getting. And that's the problem going on. You know, and you're making life much worse with people you are promising to protect. So I don't know what the, I'm trying, I was trying to see if, if the election was happening right now. I think the vote, vote tallies are coming in about now, but I don't know.

You know, it's probably too early, but it'll be interesting to see if, if Krasner goes down. Cause there's dozens of, there's one in LA. There's one in, there's Kim Fox.

Kim. Yeah. Wasn't she back in Chicago? Yeah. Right. And she, and she let Jesse Smollett go. Yes.

Yes. Talk about, talk about, she's a woman of the people. Cause if anyone who's really suffering in this life, it's Jussie Smollett. That was the most insane story I think I've ever heard. And you had, wow.

He's at, what was it, like 20 degrees in Chicago? No, it was like in the single digits. And there's these two white guys waiting outside. He's at Subway. It's Subway sandwiches. and there's these two white guys waiting outside he's at subway it's subway sandwiches he's by he's by uh the nbc building downtown chicago which is like a business area and there's like very few people wait can i say he is a actor from the show empire which no white people watched like i mean no white people watch the show empire i would never i did not hear about i never heard

of him until i saw this i loved the joke where they were like, yes, the two Trump supporters who are familiar with the D-list actor from the show Empire. Yeah, I'm like, there's zero chance. I was like, this isn't real, right? It's amazing to me how dumb some of these people are that he couldn't come up with a better story where he could have just said a car drove by and a guy yelled, this is MAGA country and threw a bottle at him. And then he called the cops. He sat in his apartment with the noose around his neck for like a half an hour until they showed up. He just sat there with the noose around his neck. I mean, that doesn't raise a flag.

I don't know. I have never had a noose put around my neck. But I bet you if I did, I wouldn't sit there. I don't even like wearing my tie for one more second than I have to. You wanted to make sure the cops came in. Exactly. Like, yeah, I'm just going to sit there. You know what I really loved was that, like, apparently there was footage of him with the brothers, like, walking up to the area, like, the day before or something and, like, pointing at it.

This is where we're going to do it. Exactly. And sitting there and saying, oh, you know, in eight-degree weather. And in full seriousness, he believed that everyone would just believe him 100%. But they did. No. I mean, no. Most people did not believe him.

When you get the – was it the Big Bang Theory or whatever? Like some show, they all like stood on the set. He doesn't have a career nowadays. Well, that's because he got caught. Yeah. But at the time, you had all these photos coming out. You had – remember when the actor actor we'll just call the actor page so to avoid offending anybody that that the person who played uh um shadow cat and x-men

okay uh oh uh yeah yeah page yeah well i'm trying to avoid being offensive to literally anybody so just former artist formerly known as ellen page there we go i think that still might be disrespectful but uh well she was he was formerly known as Ellen Page. All right. Well, Page was on what? Whose show was it? Just like really angrily being like yelling about what happened. Man, imagine being one of these people right now where they're like, you know, the CDC is just very, you know, droll. You can take off your masks now.

And then you're like, no, my identity. Just like a lack of self. So you have these people who go on TV after the Justice Smollett thing who are just like screaming and like shaking. Just believing the world is this insane place. Well, if you're not an interesting person, and most people are not interesting, and no offense to them, but they're not interesting, and you need to wrap yourself in identity. Usually, you know, a generation or two ago, you either had kids by your early 30s, or you were married, or you had a career you were building, and that was kind of your whole identity. Maybe you belonged to a civic association of some sort, like, I don't know, some kind of bowling league, whatever the case may be. That was your identity, and it was wrapped in actually doing something. Now if you're like a 35-year-old person and you're either in your mom's basement still because you can't get a job or you're a single woman and you have 15 degrees and you can't get a job or whatever, of course you wrap yourself in a bigger identity.

It's how you make yourself interesting in some way. You know what I wonder? It kind of feels like we're all in this pot and it's being shaken up really hard. And people like us are just sitting in the corner just like yeah i get it yeah it's annoying but there are some people where every change is making their heads like they're stressed like the blood pressure on these like well there is some mentally ill people on this oh yeah mental illness mostly on the left on the left oh yeah this study is done with it and yeah um goldbergberg pulled it off. Yeah, and there is a lot of mental illness on the left.

And it's probably self-induced at some point. I mean, I don't know, but there's probably some. What I mean is I feel like you've got the, you know, Fauci, for instance. And he's like, you don't got to wear masks. No, you don't. It's the, you know, you might protect you from a droplet. And then everyone listens. And then a month later, he's like, you definitely got to wear a mask.

These people are playing Simon Says with this guy. So I'm sitting back just like, what's the next thing? And it was, who was the guy on Rogan? Was it Bill Burr? Where he was like, I just turned on the TV and it says, do I wear a mask or not? I just do what the TV says. Sounds like Bill Burr, yeah. Was that Bill Burr?

Yeah. That sounds like Bill Burr yeah that's what he said and i'm like these people are playing simon says with this guy if you're if you're in whatever bubble wherever world we're in i'm sitting here like this like oh is that the rule now is that is that what we're doing i'm just gonna mind my own business it's flipped and changed too much i'm chilling but imagine you are one of these people and they tell you, wear a mask. First, they don't wear a mask. They say, wear a mask. Then they say, oh, no, the vaccine will never get it. Oh, no, no, the vaccine is done. Oh, now, now, even if you get the vaccine,

you got to wear a mask. First, for no apparent reason, you cannot take the mask off. These people are like being flipped like pancakes over and over again. And they're probably at some point like their blood pressure must be through the roof because all they know is I trust the authorities. I trust the elites. I trust the establishment. But they keep getting like I don't know. It's Simon says without. I don't know how much of it is like I hate Trump.

I want to show how great I am at hating Republicans, conservatives. I'm going to still wear my mask. And how much is I genuinely fear for my health? Because there are those people who are genuine like paranoia fear and this is all like coming out and how much was like this is no, this is part of my identity. I wear a mask like David Hogg who's like I'm going to wear a mask because I don't want to be a conservative. I don't want to be a conservative.

So I'm going to sit there and just, you know, and it's I'm just saying it's also not healthy for you to wear a mask all the time. Like you can't like can't get dirty. Yeah, you can't be filthy. But I'm wondering at what point do these people just drop to their knees and like their eyes go out opposite direction they go because you cannot follow no rules you know what i mean like so the woke left will say women is offensive because not inclusive so you got to say wimixin but wimixin is offensive because

it changes women and now it's exclusive how do you live in a world where there's no rules? If you do not have mental fortitude, your brain is probably going to explode at some point. You're going to fall down and just scream. In combat especially, people lose their mind. They panic. They fall down. They can't shoot. They're just laying there.

You have to force them down on the ground. I was talking to Forrest about this a little bit yesterday. He was an Army Ranger for a while. You just push them down on the ground and continue to do your job without them don't pay them attention they're screaming they're loud unfortunately these people have access to social media and making a big loud noise and they run the institutions yeah and when laws get made after because of panic that's disturbing that's really disturbing yeah yeah and that's but that's when they use it see here's my frustration with the right after covid covid was like the problem with the right is like we do things like we complain about public education for 45 years saying it's a horrible, horrible institution with lots of fallacies, which it is.

It's true. And then they shut down every school in the country. And our go to knee jerk reaction is let's open the public schools again. The thing we've hated for 45 years. No, let's go right back to that. It's not like, Hey, maybe we could like, you know, give every parent a certain amount of money if they want to homeschool or send their kid to a private school or a religious school, whatever the case is. And we'll massively change our education.

This will be the opportunity. This was the crisis we'll use to fundamentally alter education. The left always does that. The right never does that. Did you see that? And they're idiots for doing it. You see the tweet from the GOP where they were like, you know, thousands of mothers have chosen to stay home with their kids yes oh my god

i was like what is wrong with you people i'm like this is what we always talked about like oh my god they have a parent home how wonderful they've they they the the overton window has gone so far left the republicans are outraged that more women aren't leaving their kids in daycare and going to work. Yeah, and you would think that this is the time to sit there and really restructure society. Friendly Iberwitz, who I'm a really big fan of, she was like, oh, it's so great that there's no more tourists in New York City because I hate tourists, but also the New York City economy just crashed. And she's like, they're all like, we're going to get back to normal. Normal wasn't great. We could actually make things better.

But if you're not a visionary person, and a lot of people on the left, I give them credit, are visionary people. They have a dream of what America is going to look like. It's not the dream I really, you know, subscribe to, but it's their dream. Those on the right, they don't have, you know, a vision. And I say this to politicians all the time when I consult for them. I say, tell me what, if you were going to run whatever you're running for, mayor, congress, president, whatever it is, if you're going to run whatever you're going to run for a decade, tell me what it looks like. And I don't want to hear the words free market, liberty, or freedom. I don't want to hear any buzzwords.

I want you to describe to me where I can close my eyes, I can walk through a town that you want to be mayor of, and I want to see what that town would look like that is drastically different than the world I have now. And if you don't have that vision, you can't explain it to me who spent my whole life in here. You can't explain it to anybody else. To be fair, it's true. They probably don't have a vision of what the world should look like. They just have certain platitudes. Tax cuts for Apple. Yeah, yeah.

But the creativity or the ideas of the left and their vision, you know, look, they might have a vision, but it's like hovercrafts and unicorns flying through the air. Oh, it's a crazy vision. Replicators producing free cheeseburgers, but everyone's fit and healthy. Yeah, if you put LSD in your oatmeal, that's the visions you get. But that's not like that. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have an alternative aside from, oh, we'll just make enough tax cuts that the world will be better.

There is something in between. There is a vision of education is really important. A lot of people care about it. And we've complained for half a century about it. And we shut down every public school in the country. And we thought of no alternatives besides open up every public school in the country back up. That's problematic.

That shows you don't have that means a serious lack of vision and leadership. I was I was excited when the schools got all got shut down. Schools are trash. And I was like when the schools all got shut down. The schools are trash. And I was like, homeschool your kids. These pods things, that sounds great. Where you get one parent to watch 40 kids or whatever, and then they trade off and stuff. Yes, that's illegal in some states and some communities. And that should be the number one thing people should be campaigning on, making sure that if you have a former math teacher on your block,

and she is not allowed to sit there and bring all the kids from the block to sit there and learn math. That's horrible. And that's what I'm thinking. They should have, the governor should have signed executive orders immediately and done that, but they didn't because, you know, people between the ears, they're not, they don't have a lot of things going on there. So that guy says that's one of the biggest problems we have in the culture war is you've got people who are opposed to something and people who want something psychotic.

Yeah. And you don't have the alternative to sit there and say, what is what does you know, what would benefit America that you could provide and use the government, use the power of government in some positive sense? They do this in other countries on the right. And I get that America has some attachment to the idea of, you know, liberty. And but I think that most people do want some kind of security. They do want some kind of vision from their leaders. And, you know, that's do want some kind of security. They do want some kind of vision from their leaders. And, you know, that's why we slowly lose every institution. They erode everything across the board.

And if you don't, I mean, the one thing that we kind of want on is guns, as you mentioned. I mean, the right has one on guns. But that's because you had a group of people who were singularly focused, who had a vision. The vision was you can buy a gun without a license. And when in 1986 there was only one state in the country that had that law, which was Vermont of all places. And now it's like over 18 states that have that law. You know, this is really crazy. I just learned this today because we've got another story.

And we'll lead off with this real quick. But there's a story out of Arkansas about a guy who stops a mass shooting. And I think it's really important to talk about because had this man not have been there, then every outlet would be like, oh, no, another tragedy, another mass shooting. And I think it's really important to talk about because had this man not have been there, then every outlet would be like, oh no, another tragedy, another mass shooting from a crazy far right white. But he killed, I believe, one person. And then a guy grabbed his rifle

and stopped him. It's a horrifying event. But I mean, in life, people do crazy things. This can happen. So in looking up the story, and I'll jump to it in a second i looked up constitutional carry in the u.s and the funny thing is we the gun the gun rights advocates have been winning yeah like and i mean like winning winning yeah they just got in texas recently they have this map here and you can see it's uh

going through the years in 1986 vermont that's it. In 1986, you almost couldn't get a gun anywhere. It was May issue across the country, meaning states could be like, screw you. You don't get a concealed carry permit. Now it's beyond concealed carry. It's straight up. Many states are adopting constitutional carry. So we have here, right? Like, I mean, look at this.

The blue that you can see on the screen is shall issue, meaning if you apply for a concealed carry, they have to give it to you. It can be kind of prohibitively bureaucratic. You're going to get it. So there's only some areas of the Northeast and California and Maryland that are may issue, meaning you can apply and they can tell you to screw off. But most of the country now, except for New Jersey, Long Island, and Hawaii, those are no issue in practice, they call it, meaning you're not getting a gun. But in most of the country, you can get a gun. And more importantly, all of this green, it's like constitutional carry. You can walk in. Now, Texas is about to do it.

Texas is about to pass constitutional carry. That means you can walk into a gun shop. You do a background check. A lot of, I guess, these Democrat people don't understand. You have to pass a constitutional carry. That means you can walk into a gun shop. You do a background check. A lot of, I guess, these Democrat people don't understand. You have to do a background check. Sometimes they tell you come back in a week. Sorry. Sometimes they say you're being researched.

It'll take 15, 20 minutes. Sometimes they say they've cleared you. But after your background check is done, you can buy your gun. And then in these constitutional carry states, you can walk out the door with it. Yeah, Tennessee as well. They're doing the same thing. Yeah. They are now. It's brought across the country and that's because

they had i mean the nra was part of it but gun owners of america and these organizations and the activists had one vision and it was i'm going to buy i'd be able to buy a gun wherever i want to and they have been successful it is you know not every vision is this grand scheme but that right had that on on guns and they don't have it on a large skew thing and so I'll tell you one of the visions that I've certainly been having over the past year. This is a story from BearingArms.com. Armed citizen uses rifle to stop attempted mass shooting. Now, for the most part, I told everyone the story already. They say it was an 87-year-old woman.

There was a guy who was yelling at people, get out here, come out here. Everyone got out of the building right now. When an older woman went out, two women went out to console him, they saw that he had a weapon, they fled. He went into the apartments of one of the women and he took her life. At some point, there was a neighbor who grabbed a rifle of his own and fatally shot the killer. The police haven't released many details of the incident.

We don't know yet what motivated Arnold to kill his elderly neighbor. It's clear that as a resident, Amber Lane told local media, there could have been many more victims were it not for the quick response by the armed citizen. Here's what happens. The Democrat types, and I say this specifically because leftists, like actual socialists, they love guns. They want guns. They want a revolution, so they advocate for guns. Karl Marx said, keep your guns. So these Democrat establishment types, these elites are like, no one should have guns but the police. Oh, by the way, defund the police. Sure, whatever. I digress. They want to take away the weapons from the people. Then a criminal will get a gun, commit a mass tragedy, and they'll say, see, this is exactly why we're saying take away your guns.

They'll make gun laws more restrictive, which will make the problem continually worse and keep using the problem they created to justify making the problem worse. So in my vision, people have a right to keep and bear arms. And when unfortunate situations happen,

people have a right to defend themselves. That's what I see. A Department of Gun Services where when you turn 16, you go in, you fill out the paperwork, they bring you to the range,

you do a standard shooting test, and then you get your free government-issued AR or handgun. I'm somewhat kidding, but the point is I'm saying I think people should be trained, should understand gun safety from a young age, and should keep in bare arms. Don't they do that in Switzerland? Like you have to have a gun in the household or something like that? They say that, and we talked about that yesterday. I'm not sure how true that is. Okay.

It's like – For that rumor. I think it's an urban legend. Okay. That's partially true. Yeah. Yeah, in Switzerland, I don't think it is required, but it is very commonly accepted that you will be practiced in shooting. Young people do it. They used to have, like, a boys' shooting club.

Obviously, now they take girls and everything, but they train them. They teach them to use it as a tool. This is something that I was arguing about. It's like, this is something that you need to to respect but it also needs to be culturally accepted that you're going to have a gun it shouldn't be weird they did it after world war ii right or during world war ii so they armed everybody so if the nazis ever invaded everyone had a firearm i think i don't know maybe i'm wrong but and and and i know people who listen to this show are going to back out tim's bring up the same argument again but uh because you have you maybe have not heard it, my argument is like people drive cars, and I don't think they're going to hit me with their car.

Sometimes people hit people with cars, sometimes on purpose. But I feel totally comfortable with everybody being armed so long as they understand. Actually, I feel much safer with them understanding gun safety and having a weapon. Well, look how many people actually have guns, and look how relatively few murders there are and look i mean i mean they'll have cars and i'm relatively you know minor accidents there are but people are on their smartphones like playing a video game texting while walking our street is amazing that aren't like thousands of bodies scattered across but it does happen like people generally are you know and there are some people who are off their rock or like the vegas shooter or whoever who would like want to commit

horrible acts well we don't know enough about that guy actually so okay so whatever the columbine kids whatever the case is there are people who do want to create terrible situations and um and they do exist but they're always going to exist i mean that crazy people will do crazy things yeah absolutely the argument from the left is that because there is a small fraction of crazy people, the overwhelming majority, 99.999, shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves. That makes no sense. Do you know who the lieutenant governor of North Carolina is? Have you heard of this guy? He's Rob Robinson.

This is his last name. I can't remember his first name. He gave a speech. They were trying to do gun control in his local county, and he gave a speech. It went viral. Mark Robinson saying that your criticisms of people committing crimes always, how do we hurt

the people abiding by the law? He's a big black man, rural place, has a big rural accent and great, great, great man. And he's like, I am the majority because the majority are law-abiding gun owners. I'm not a minority and this is the problem is you say, how do I hurt the majority immediately? Not ever go after the. I'm not a minority, and this is the problem, as you say, how do I

hurt the majority immediately, not ever go after the minority. None of these things, these laws they propose, hurts the criminals. Yeah. It's just like, well, we're going to make it worse for people who actually obey the law. Yeah, and until we end up with the minority part, where you can sit there and go into the future, it's not going to change. A good point that was brought up by our guest yesterday,

Forrest Cooper, was that suppressors, for instance, make firing rifles safer. Those get banned because people have no idea what they're talking about. Or they get restricted under the NFA. Yeah. And the problem is with the media is – and I used to work at The Washington Examiner a few years ago, like five years ago. And most people – and that was the right-wing media. Most people don't own guns in the media, especially like New York media, D.C. media.

They don't own guns in the media, especially New York media, D.C. media. They don't own guns. They never fire them. Wasn't the Washington Post who had a picture of a chainsaw attached to a machine gun? I think it was USA Today. It was literally a chainsaw next to an AK. Chainsaw behind that. Yeah, it was the most insane thing ever.

Clearly a weapon that would never, ever work. It was like out of Star Wars. And this was a serious conversation of possibly deadly weapons that people could have. could have we got it we got it we got it look at this november 8th 2017 usa today issues clarification after depicting rifle with a chainsaw oh my god i gotta say i'm just i love this the guy i can't remember what your news outlet he worked for maybe he's watching the post he said firing an ar-15 gave him a temporary form of ptsd and get the hell out of here get the hell out of here dude um i could i always say this imagine

if the guy maybe if you're a bad shot like it would be you'd be humiliated by it but ptsd is i i as as i've you know gotten more heavily involved in you know gun ownership experienced firing a 12 gauge and firing an ar with five you know in five five six and if this guy thinks that the five five six was was giving was that bad i and that's that's the actual weapon of war five five six nato then i couldn't imagine him going small game hunting yeah he'd be like oh my arm it hurts what's happening i actually find i find smaller guns i don't like handguns at all because it doesn't feel real. I feel like I'm shooting with a gun when I'm shooting a rifle.

When I'm shooting a handgun, I'm like, this feels like a toy. I really don't. This doesn't feel safe. I feel like I would accidentally blow my own head off. But a rifle, you have some kind of command of it. And if he had that, I mean, that's a lot. That's a man who cries after sex. I'm just going to sit there and say it.

There's no way he doesn't. There's like validity to loud explosions and noises causing like long-term stress. They called it shell shock after World War I for people in the trenches. But I think as a human, you really have a duty to – That was artillery shell coming next to you. For months at a time. For months at a time. Right.

We have a duty as humans to learn how to handle large explosions. I went. Like, we should just be able to deal with that. Well, I. It's not like a car bomb went off next to him. It was shooting a gun once. In a controlled circumstance with an instructor with safety gear on. People do demolition, like, for a living across the whole country.

And never have this problem. The Mythbusters would blow stuff up every day in the Mojave Desert for fun, for a TV show. When the whole earth rocks, when they're demolishing a giant sky rise and you're like six blocks away, that's wild. Bro, we knocked down a tree in my backyard when we were in the Philly area. We had to get a tree removed because it was dying and it was like out of fungus or something. And so they were like, what we're going to do is we are going to go up. They climb to the top. They cut chunks of the top off, then measure.

And they say, okay, we're going to knock it down straight this way. It's going to slam into the ground. It was like an earthquake. It was crazy. When that massive tree came down, I did not realize the, like, shake that you would feel was like, whoa. It was like an explosion. It was crazy. And then we had someone across the street do the same thing.

And one day I'm sitting there. It's like, boom, the whole house shakes. I'm like, wow. This guy couldn't handle firing a gun. And there's a photo of a little girl. I love it. The little girl with the pink, you know, AR. But I had been to

a bunch of different places around the world with civil unrest and conflict, and I'd been in a bunch of riots. And there was one point where I was in New York. I was walking down Broadway in Brooklyn, and a car backfired, and then I immediately got an adrenaline rush. It was like, whoa. Because I was so used to being on the ground in these conflict situations that when the bang went off, it was like, that's when you are in action mode.

And then I was kind of laughing at myself. I was like, wow, man. I got to chill out, I guess, because I'm getting sick. Yeah, but there are people who like live in like Syria during the revolution and like they undergo horrible things on a daily basis and they don't sit there

and feel the need to write an op-ed about how they were emotionally triggered by every moment of their life. They just, you know, you move on. It's a shotgun you shot once. If you watch videos from these war zones, many of them in more urban areas, you will see people literally

just doing their daily business. Right. You'll hear hear gunshots you'll see a guy like just walking carrying like a basket well that was old new york new york i mean i grew up there my whole life i'm a eighth generation new yorker it makes you tough if you live there your whole life and you just are unfazed by certain things there was like a failed bombing there a couple years ago and like and like the press ran there and there are people like they're like can you stop like no i'm on my way to work what are you talking about yeah it was a it just happened like i'm on my way to work right that that's what it makes you and i guess if you're a very fragile person who's been very comfortable your entire life like the most minimal thing just is there and shakes you i think more than that he had an agenda to push to though oh of course yeah

i was reading about switzerland and far from being a response to World War II, the reason that Germany did not invade Switzerland was because every man has to be in the military, and yes, they do have guns in every single home. They're issued by the government, which is Tim's idea. They couldn't get Tim's idea. The next right-wing president, Tim, is the head of the Department of Gun Ownership. That's right. Gun services.

Gun services. There's a town in Georgia that mandates gun ownership. Kennesaw. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. That's interesting. Oh, yeah mandates gun ownership. Kennesaw. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. That's interesting. Oh, yeah. That's neat. Mandates. I want to go there.

Wait, do you get to pick your gun out? Or does it say you have to own one? I don't know. How do they give you one? Okay, but they don't sit there and say it has to be this style of gun. You can say any gun. Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

If they say, like, you know, it's like North Korea. If they have a certain kind of hairstyle, that's what I'm wondering. There's like five to choose from? Yes. I think at the Department of Gun Services, they would have two rifles to choose from and two different handguns. But you know they're going to be like garbage government issue. You don't want that. Yeah, Soviet Union stuff like the 60s.

Yeah, government cheese. You walk in, they're like, we've got a captured AK. You've got to use it. The whole thing falls apart. It's like exactly that. Smart guns. But it's free. With the tracking mechanisms.

You have to turn in your gun to get a new 2023 smart gun. I like that. You can listen to your talking. I think it'll be a great equalizer to give everybody access. Now, look, the rich people will have the really great high tech stuff. But then the people, the regular people, can be able to walk in and you know get a handgun but you know what you were mentioning before the box of ammo too we were talking before about like policing and everything like that and the defund the police is coming out of a lot of the woke left and especially the wealthy left

who live in private gated communities a big thing about the police that people don't understand is it's not only something about social about safety it's about climbing up the economic ladder my family my dad said super poor 11 kids super irish catholic oh every boy became a cop because that's your only avenue to join the middle class if you cut off that avenue now in every major city in this country basically uh policemen are majority minority most are non-white you this is the avenue to become part of the middle class for people who have no other way of going to college and spending $40,000 a year and doing it. By cutting off the ability to become a cop, because

the alternative now is to become a sociologist and back up $200,000 in debt. By cutting off the ability to be part of the middle class, the alternative for security for these gated communities is going to be private security guards without a pension probably making maybe $25 an hour and that's it,

with no ability to retire. It actually suppresses poor people even more, both in urban communities by making them less safe, but also cutting off the opportunity to join the middle class. I know that's a totally random thing. But the riots are the same thing.

They destroy residential neighborhoods. They destroy businesses. And the ultra-wealthy can buy up cheap property and then sit down and wait until the property is gone. Yeah the problem but if you care if you're supposed to be a working class people this is this is what you're supposed to actually care about is how does the working class how does the working poor make it in this country and and and advance themselves to some not everyone's gonna be a billionaire and not everyone needs to be a billionaire or a millionaire but some level some floor of comfortability where you know their kids will do better themselves and

they'll have some respectability at the end of their life. If that's the end goal, as it should be for any socioeconomic policy, this does the complete opposite. Yes, it destroys property, but it also cuts off the path to middle class. We were talking a moment ago about, you know, leftist gun control, and I wanted to pull up this story. This is from Fox News. Parkland activist calls out media for not aiding gun reform efforts under Biden after doing so under Trump.

Suddenly, you're just an angry leftist who will never be happy with anything. Cameron Kasky said, I don't think Cameron Kasky is a leftist at all. Leftist. He's just a theater kid. He's a theater kid, but he's more like an establishment Democrat. So I don't see him as like a socialist. I don't think he posts this stuff. Maybe he does.

Maybe I'm wrong. But there's a big difference between the leftists, like the Antifa types, who are literally like wanting an insurrection and buying a bunch of guns and quoting Marx all day. When Marx said, you know, under no pretext shall arms and ammunition be surrendered. The workers must frustrate this with force if necessary. He's just an establishment guy, right? So these are like the elites. These are the shocked nobility of capital city going like, egad, the people have gone.

How could they? He's surprised now that the media has completely abandoned him now that Joe Biden is president and they don't need his vote anymore. It's funny how that happens, isn't it? He said, quote, Right now, this very moment is very complicated. It's a very complicated time for gun violence prevention activists. They're not. But anyway, because with Biden in the White House, the media does not want to aid us in demanding stronger gun reforms. Because whatever Joe Biden does is suddenly the right thing to do, Kasky said. When Donald Trump was the president, calling for an assault weapons ban

and saying that the measures that he was putting in place were not nearly enough was a very popular opinion. Now, if you're calling for an assault weapons ban, suddenly just an angry leftist who will never be happy with anything. That was always true. They were using you to try and get Donald Trump out of office. The assault weapon ban would have never done anything. And that's why your ideas don't make sense. But it's no surprise that the media is like, we're out. Yeah, they don't want to help him in the first place. Well, and now, I mean, I tweeted this because I think The Washington Post had an op ed about how Biden's White House is the most blue collar White House in history, which is like completely not true. But I guess if you have a job, you're considered blue-collar. And I said, you know, Clinton got fellatio from one intern.

Now the entire press corps is doing it for Biden left and right. They love him or they love what he's representing or allowing to happen. Yeah. Biden is the greatest president of this or any generation. The greatest president in the United States. You just tell a lie enough times, people start to believe it. Could you imagine the people who don't watch the news anymore who actually believe that, where you've got a guy who goes on TV

and he says, truant and on a shop at a pressure, and they think this guy is capable of running a country? And the thing is, he's remarkably radical. Like, I mean, Biden is far more radical than I even thought that he would be. He's very, very far to the left with things that he's doing. And people still consider him a moderate. And it's just bizarre to me. And he's like this fragile old guy that they're like, oh, no, he's fine.

He's a moderate. No, he's, the things that he's doing, he just got rid of that monument ban. Yes. That monument ban. Who was sitting there saying, oh, man, I was going to destroy a monument today, but Trump did that executive order. And he was like, no, I'll be your advocate. You can destroy monuments again.

Why? Like, why? Like, why was that the thing that he was like, I got to do this? And maybe it's just been the face of Trump. I don't know. But it's bizarre. I do think you're being a little unfair to Joe Biden. All right.

Yes. I want to read you. I want to read you a quote. It's very profound and inspirational. Something that Joe Biden said that's going to make you at least, you got to give him some credit. Joe Biden said, the best way to get something done, if you, if you hold it near and dear to you that you like to be able to, anyway. Is that a real quote? Yes.

When was that, recent? I don't know. I think you can listen to him say it. I wonder if I can find the video. I hate it so much. It's worse than the way I read it. That was a commencement speech probably. I was trying to read that as if it were... Alright,

let's see if this is it. Can we play it? I'm a very, very practical guy. Yeah. I can't make it any louder, though, huh? Mm-hmm. I don't think... Can anybody hear this? I don't think they can hear it. Oh.

Because I can't make it any louder than it is. That sucks. That's depressing. Let me try and find a better video. Yeah. Yeah, his whole thing about... I don't know. I think that Biden is...

Biden has these grand proposals that are large and trillions of dollars. And that's what you do after you're Lyndon Johnson and win 46 states. And that's after you win your FDR and you win. You know, I guess there was only 48 states at the time, 47 states at the time. So 45 or Reagan after he won 49 or Nixon for 49. This is what he did where he won by 45000 votes in in three states and a 50-50 Senate and lawsuits in the House. I think it's because he knows he's not going to be there for very long. And do you remember when I think it was somebody in the press who was talking about how great it is that they can use Biden to make it look like what they're doing is not radical? He's like, everyone thinks he's super nice, but we're being able to get all this stuff done.

But isn't it funny how Kamala has far lower approval ratings than he does? Not surprising. I mean, it's not surprising at all. She's the Hillary Clinton factor where she's not a likable person. Yeah. She's just got that laugh. That laugh is rough. Oh, my gosh.

But she has that natural thing. And, yeah, maybe he's just likable and people will sit there and excuse it, but it is really horrendous and if you know if we go into next year i mean that i mean his approval ratings i think are at 52 51 53 about and his disapprovals are in the mid 40s which is very average for you know 100 day 128 president okay god you can play i got it no i don't think it's working i don't think think people... It's too quiet. Yeah, but I can hear it. No, no, I don't think... I can hear it too, but yeah. I don't think it's getting picked up on the...

Livestream. Yeah, on the livestream, whatever. Oh, well. Too bad. You can't hear it. But yeah, so the best way to get something done, if you hold near and dear to you that you like to be able to... Anyway.

And that's not his tick that he has where he can't speak. That's not stuttering. I forgot what he was saying. Can I just – on WhiteHouse.gov? Yeah. It's actually here transcribed. Oh, my gosh. It's actually transcribed on WhiteHouse.gov.

It is a quote from Joe Biden. Yeah, and that will never be – I mean that will never be looked at, all of his Biden-isms, the way that Trump used to say like everything was the greatest, the most wonderful, the best. That was, I mean, mocked ridiculously. Biden's – I mean falling apart. The issue with Biden is that every journalist does this, including conservative journalists. Joe Biden will say something like, we got to – you know uh got a lumber price is too high we we got to get lumber prices you know uh down and then the conservatives will write joe biden said quote we got to get lumber prices down yes no he didn't he said um or by true not a shot of pressure yeah every journalist

yeah yeah i mean and everyone sits there and assumes no that's absolutely true uh and you know my grandfather died of parkinson's my grandmother's dementia i'm very used to and when he had parkinson's he got louis b dementia i know dementia i'm not like a doctor whatever and i don't think that he has any advanced stages of of it but even if he's the perfectly most healthy person in the world he is a man of a particular age and you know yeah there are a handful of men who go into their 80s you know the clint eastwoods of their of the world they can still sit there and work and operate but joe biden is not that man he's 87 right 88 no no he's 79 79 79 80 he's either 79 or 80 78 i think 78 well i mean he's aging decrepit he's definitely not. He's definitely not spry.

I don't say decrepit about many living humans, but that's kind of what they look like. But he's only five years older than Trump. And look at the... Even in the last two years, his exhaustion level is just over 10. Well, he stops working. He can't be around the press after a certain hours a day. He doesn't answer questions. You guys need to look this up on your phones real quick because I'm going to show everyone who's watching.

There's an article from The Onion. Stress of presidency already ages Biden 10 years. Yes. And he looks like a mummy. He looks desiccated. Yeah, it's just like a rotten corpse just like 10 years. That's kind of sad. That's what it feels like. The last two years. That's kind of sad. That's what it feels like.

The last two years, it's just aged him. His voice is so much more tired. What you need to understand, my friend, is that as you're older and older, it's an exponential decline. Yeah. You know? I guess, yeah. The older you get, the faster your decline is. You know?

You look at – I'm not going to name anybody, but there are some people that I used to look up to who are old and passed on, and it's like you can really see that decline happen, man, faster and faster and faster. Joe Biden's not one of those people, by the way.

Your 60s to your 70s, people in general, most people I've witnessed go to that age range don't decline very much. 70s to 80s is a big slowdown, and it's 80s to 90s now is where he's approaching.

I mean, very few people are betty white it's like movement or william shatner or william shatner i think he's actually like data from yeah yeah or like dick van dyke there are a handful chloris leachman there's a handful of of people mel brooks who like in their 90s stellar better than i am my 30s um he is not the president united states currently and also it's weird when you look at foreign countries like the president austria is my age yes and you're like or like the like the chancellor no austria it's oh yeah but macron is young too he's in the 30s the guy in italy is like 31 like there are like the rest of the world has like

people and like it's you see star wars ph Phantom Menace and like the princess princess is like 13, 14. And she's like the that's what like the rest of the world looks like. And better are leaders where you're like and he's millennials. I blame millennials. Well, I blame for what? Well, millennials, what are they doing? I mean, they're trying to make it. I think most people. Yeah, I guess. Boomers Well millennials What are they doing? I mean they're trying To make it

I think most people Yeah I guess But like how many millennials Are actually running for office You know what they're doing They are but they I'll tell you what millennials Are doing

They're complaining On the internet These you know guys Putting up like cameras In their bedrooms And then doing these YouTube shows And they bring people in

All they do is talk Talk talk talk Probably wear a beanie 24-7 Not running for office Not not leading the charge. It just won't grow up. It's hard. See, I could make fun of the other millennials, but I'll make fun of myself.

But the thing is that when you have institutional power, I know so many politicians who they never want to leave. I mean, Joe Biden was in office for 100,000 years. He's been in office for something like 25% of the history of the country, and he never wants to leave. There was probably other people in the Senate in Delaware, but they were never going to be ousted by – they're never going to oust Joe Biden. They're never going to oust Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell is like a turtle. I mean, he literally is like 300 years old.

Diane Feinstein is in her mid-90s, and she is just there forever. And it's just – there are – sure, there's young people in California who want to run for office. Ro Khanna could be that position. Oh, yeah. But they never get the opportunity because people just stay forever. And I'm not supportive of term limits, so I'm not endorsing that. But, I mean, you never want to let that stage go.

Something weird did happen because I pulled up this thing from Pew about the generational gap in politics. 2018 was interesting. We're seeing a lot more younger people. There's – what was it, Madison Cawthorn? Madison Cawthorn, yeah. AOC, obviously. You're getting a lot more younger people who are coming in. But there really was a period where millennials,

and I'm not going to blame Gen Z. They're not quite at that point yet. But millennials are getting close to their 40s. Yeah, and we only have a handful. And who's doing anything substantive in politics and culture leading the charge? So as much as I can make fun of myself, I think what we're doing is important.

We're engaging in civics. We're engaging in politics. We're communicating with other millennials and talking about these issues. Obviously, the people who are watching are engaged, but there is a large, large portion of millennials who are just abstaining from political leadership. Well, I mean, but look at them. I mean, and I'm not giving excuses to people out but we did get we did get it rough we came into age during the oa crisis we did and then we got the and then we got the i mean covet into our 30s there was a lot

of speed bumps that we hit on the way to adulthood that's why i was going to say maybe i blame boomers a bit boomers definitely deserve a lot of blame for a lot of things they held on to power for too long they misguided it they had these large notions they didn't have the sense of duty the way that or they didn't expand the sense of duty that uh that that their parents didn't agree weren't they hippies yeah they're the hippie generation some of them only percentage though but but could you imagine this generation geriatric boomers as i'm a geriatric millennial, I've been told. That's rude. Could you imagine these boomers who are like hippies who are partying and

live free, free love, and then as soon as they got older, they were like, mine, my stuff. And listen to Dr. Fauci. That is literally who they became is everything they hated. I've heard that the hippie movement really got derailed by the drugs. They just did too many.

As fun as it was, but people that have looked back were like, if we hadn't done all the drugs, we would have been able to have a political movement for real. Well, I'm sure. I'm sure that when you go around the Pentagon and try to levitate it with your brain, eventually... Is that what they did? Yes. That was famous. They were trying to levitate

the Pentagon. Who was that? That was David Leary, right? And that didn't work? Surprisingly, it wasn't like that ball that keeps levitating. It didn't happen. Well, hold on, hold on. But were they doing light as a feather, stiff as a board? Where you get like seven million hippies? I don't think they can hold underneath the Pentagon.

But this is a famous... I think it was David Leary who was trying to levitate the Pentagon with their brain. I believe it was David Leary. But yeah, I mean, they did... Timothy Leary? He was like oneitate the Pentagon with their brain. I believe it was David Leary. But yeah, I mean, they did. Timothy Leary? Timothy Leary, not David Leary. David Leary was like one of the pioneers of LSD. Yeah, Timothy Leary.

I think he tried to levitate the Pentagon. Yeah, we got it from Smithsonian Mag. Yeah. 50 years ago, a ragtag group of acid dropping activists tried to levitate the Pentagon. Yes. Didn't work. Imagine what you must have done wrong to create a generation where people all show up like, let's levitate the building, man. And they're like, nothing's happening, dude.

Did you do more acid? Let me try. And you know, one guy was like, wow, it worked. Like, I mean, one guy was like, that totally worked. It was levitating. Totally worth it. I saw two dudes, but I'm not going to tell anyone. And we were levitating with it. Yes, but I mean, and that's the generation that sat there and

hung on to institutional power and wealth and they have way too much of it and they and in a lot of ways they sold out a lot of things that gave them that ability to mask that wealth because it made them wealthier i mean like things like normalizing trade relations with china and you know stopping a lot of a lot of other things as well. But, yeah, that's that's the boom. The boomers deserve a lot of. And there's a great book by my co podcast. I have a podcast with American Conservative magazine called Right Now. My co author, my co podcast host, Helen Andrews, or a book called Boomers.

It's a great book. So is it I'm going to go ahead and say we can keep reducing the problem, you know, trying to figure out where it's rooted. You can say, well, the boomers who had the boomers the greatest generation yeah the silent generation silent generation no silent was gen xers no silent is like 1916 no no it's silent boomers x y the greatest generation was they came back from world war ii and had a bunch of babies yes yes yes so what did the greatest generation do wrong that created a bunch of...

They made the suburbs and that's where everything went wrong. No, I just think that if you grew up in the Depression and you went to World War II, which was a lot of that generation growing up through really hard times, worse than millennials had it,

you kind of want normalcy and you want and you probably are a little quieter in your beliefs and that was and you don't sit there and stimulate you know overstimulate telling you know a lot of things and also not all boomers a lot of boomers went to vietnam and they fought in a horrible war they shouldn't have been a part of and like some boomers did sacrifice a lot but the overall like me focus on me going to the suburbs i need to have a bigger plot line i need to have you know i think that definitely affected a lot of people's psyche as a part of like this is about me because those boomers later on went on to go because if they were born in the 40s they came of age voting for the you know the me generation with reagan their

kids absorbed it big time which was the xers who was probably our better generation we have alive today as the xers and i say that as a millennial but yes yeah yeah the xers because they were the most ignored the xers never got attention for anything they were punk man i think the greatest generation came back from all this hardship overseas and they were like i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that my kids have everything they want i want to live the american dream i will raise them that way i never want I want them to live the American dream. I will raise them that way. I want them to go to college. I don't want them. But they also inherited the greatest generation, everything they built.

But also, if you grow up in depression and war and really terrible situations, of course you want normalcy for your family. Of course. That is your natural instinct. They built it on the back of war spoils, basically. The U u.s was the only country that didn't get leveled during world war ii our soil didn't get invaded so we had massive wealth and they and they created a system on top of that that could only subsist with that a level of well but if you look at the drop off it it does decrease starting in the 70s but when they normalize trade relations with china and when they go into nafta you see it plummet and it catapults. Nixon took us off the gold standard purely for that reason.

No, Nixon took us off the gold standard because he couldn't afford LBJ's spending deals. And he couldn't also pay for that anymore. He couldn't repeal it, and he needed to get off the gold standard. I mean, I don't think that was a great choice, but I don't blame Nixon for that because he couldn't get rid of the the great society and lbj is one of the worst presidents of all time millennials aren't leading and i don't know if it's an excuse to say well we had two you know major economic crises i mean people have their hardship that what the boomers also had vietnam didn't they yeah they had vietnam but they also had a massive amount of stability. And I think that if you look at the inequality between generations, it's huge right now. And I definitely.

Yeah. Boomers hold it. Boomers hold huge sums of wealth. And it's not even close to where millennials will ever be. This is crazy. I saw 40 percent of millennials have not had their first child yet. And they're going to the. And there was some data from a few years ago that said people who are 29 have a negative net worth of about $1,000.

And only at 30 do they go positive. But I saw a meme. I don't know if this is true. It was just a meme. And they said Mark Zuckerberg accounts for 2% of all millennial wealth. Oh, my God. That would not surprise me. I mean, that would be a shocking number, but it wouldn't surprise me at the end of the day.

2%. That's a lot. I mean, it sounds small, but consider how many millennials there are. One guy. One guy is 2%. And add that to all the people who came out of the tech boom who created it. I don't know how much Tom from MySpace is worth, but all those people. 500 million.

Okay, but still, if you add all those people together who made something and became a billionaire or a hundred millionaire or whatever and accumulated them together, I'm sure they make up like a dozen people probably make up a significant – Like half. Yeah. That is genuinely a wild, wild number. Look, I can look at the older generation and blame them for not instilling proper values in millennials.

But when you get people who think the path towards making money is accruing hundreds of thousand dollars in school debt but you're sold on that from like from a kid you're so that's why we're gonna go to college and but at a certain point there's got to be responsibility for the individuals so that's why i look at this like our society sold a lie to millennials and screwed them over so i'm in favor of some kind of debt relief that isn't just paying off everyone's debt so I think maybe like terminating interest rates pay down the principal no more interest rates accrue you can still defer

because how do you have a generation how do you have a country when an entire generation owns nothing except for like Mark Zuckerberg and they're saddled with debt that just keeps going up well more importantly colleges should have to co-sign their loans.

Yeah. Colleges should not. One, we should seize the endowments. There's no question. Thank you. Harvard has $120 billion by themselves tax-free that they do nothing besides institute the worst ideas in the society. But colleges should have to co-sign your loan.

If they're going to make you pay $200,000 for a degree in basket weaving, they should co-sign that. They should not sit there and say, oh, yeah, best of luck to you on pay $200,000 for a degree in basket weaving, they should co-sign that. They should not sit there and say, oh, you know, best of luck to you on your path of, I don't know, becoming a brand who sells baskets. I don't know anything, but they should have to co-sign your loan because if they did, they would not give out the nonsense degrees they do. They would not have the cost be as high as they do, and they would reform something. I mean colleges get away with a lot and also they're the it's they're so hypocritical because it's like the home of the biggest leftist the biggest bleeding heart progressives and every way the college administration works is like the is the

most money-grabbing kind of organization in the entire world it is like it is like a wolf of wall street would not be as deceptive as college institutions are. And I say this is a college dropout. So, I mean, I'm not someone – I didn't spend a lot of time in academia. But you see the way it works. It is – they preach one thing and they operate a completely different way. Scam factory. It is a total scam factory.

It would be great to see colleges have an incentive to get jobs for the students. That was the best thing that happened because of COVID was some people dropped out of college. And they were like, I'm not going to go for a year and figure something out. I mean, I really hope some people figure something out besides going to college. I mean, I also didn't go and I know I'm unique how I make money, whatever. But there has to be a path for people outside going to university. I mean, there just there has to be. Maybe we needed some kind of, you know, like great restart or reset.

Yeah. But that's some sort of reset. Yeah. Great oh it's like a great one yeah it took me a second yeah no but this is like this is like where this is where i talked to a congressman from the midwest the other day about this you know they always went repatriating stuff from china now and bringing back our health care and our military stuff and our production value actually building factories. If you left that up to market forces alone, they would go to Arizona, Texas, California for the shipping and the newest and best rail and all the rest of roads, everything, internet, real infrastructure, not like the BS infrastructure that Biden was selling us on, like, you know, child care. If you really want to revive the places who've been devastated for up to 30, 40, 50 years

of bad trade agreements and Chinese manipulation, all the rest of it, you need government power to sit there and say, OK, not only is this aspirin factory going to come back to the United States, it's going to go to Detroit. And we're going to figure out a way to make it incentivized for you to go to Detroit. It could be a tax thing. It could be what do you need? You need better, better Wi-Fi. You need whatever you need.

What do you need? We're going to make you go to Akron, Ohio or go to Altoona, Pennsylvania or go to Erie, Pennsylvania. These places that have been just there, they are on the precipice of annihilation as a people go, you know, and that has a whole psyche with where you have, you know, in America, in our lifetime the life expectancy was declining in broad sections of the country and this is in my book if you are born they're not listening how he leads career the national populist revolution um if you are

born in kentucky or west virginia as a white person or the mississippi delta as a black person or in the native american reservations as a native american person in south dakota you're going to die 20 years before someone is born in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. That is just the huge discrepancy of life expectancy. South Dakota has the – parts of South Dakota have the lowest life expectancy in the Western Hemisphere. I hear you, and I understand that we probably do have the resources to solve a lot of these problems. But who's going to blow up the kids overseas if we take the money away from international excursions?

But no, but it's not even – I'm bored with you there 110%. And I mean the Army is a jobs program in many aspects of it. But at the same time, if you're going to sit there and have – if COVID was going to sit there and devastate our economy and we're going to rebrand it and not every job is going to be an Amazon job and you want to actually improve the lives of working class people COVID was going to sit there and devastate our economy and we're going to rebrand it. And not every job is going to be an Amazon job. And you want to actually improve the lives of working class people who have been from urban areas to rural to ex-urban who have been devastated by our modern economy and by the modern system.

You need government involvement. You can't leave it up to the free market alone. And that's what the right is completely missing in this entire moment. I know that we're on a totally different tangent. Well, you see that with the tech, the mismanagement of the tech censorship. Oh, they don't even know what tech is. I mean, literally. It's a private company, so it can do whatever it wants. It can do whatever it wants.

They don't understand. Absolutely. It's like seeing a guy screw your wife and saying, oh, no, it's a free will. She wanted to do it too. They're saying that. Yes, exactly. Like, yeah, it's a free will, so you shouldn't be upset because it's what she wanted. It is literally nuts what they're sitting there and doing.

And they're condoning losing because it's very profitable in the government sector to lose. It's very profitable. You sell a lot more books as the minority party and do a lot more speaking gigs than you do. Well, how come you don't support term limits? We have them in New York, and they don't really work. Chiefs of staff run for the last position for the person passing you, and then they become inherently the chief of staff. It doesn't actually create

massive change in bureaucracy. Oh, so you see people in the administration take the old role? Yeah, it happens all the time. Like, it literally it's just cycling the same nonsense. You don't really see, like, I mean, we do have some things in New York where we have campaign finance laws where we do matching funds, or you do have some things in New York. We have campaign finance laws where we do matching funds or you do have some people run for office.

It's been handled to an extent, but they do try to do a good job. I do have one idea that I think, you know, I know a lot of people talk about term limits, and we go back and forth on whether to work or not. We could, just hear me out, take a giant spaceship, like the one that Elon Musk has created. Put all of the politicians on it and send it to Mars. And then just go about our business.

I was on a bachelor party trip. And this one guy ran the Balkans day, though. And he was a big stone. He was like, guys, we just stopped paying taxes. We won't have a government anymore. We want to play painful. And he was shot the first 10 seconds of every game. He goes, bro, that happens. I'm KO.

Like, don't even bother calling me anymore. Yeah, I don't know. It's a very hard thing to sit there and do, but there are very practical things the government could be. I was on my way here and we're on a road with stretches of acres of land on both sides of us and there's traffic and it's two lanes. I'm like, this is one

thing. The government could build an extra lane. I'd be okay with it. No one would sit there and protest. One extra lane. There's plenty of land. I get if you're like, there's no place to build, but there is. Or tunnels. I mean, you want to create a jobs program in the United States. Tunnels. Or just multi-layer roads like Chicago's got upper and lower

Wacker. Something. I shouldn't have to sit in mass amounts of traffic. This is the problem is that people would be okay with the government's nonsense if they did the bare minimum the quality of life thing if i wasn't in the nation's capital walking my dog on a block with nine homeless people who are talking themselves we could just solve the basics people excuse a lot of i i really do feel like our government at this point is like, you know, it started out with someone creating,

you know, Christmas lights and they're, and they're rolling them up real perfectly. And then each time they hand off the role of Christmas lights, they get a little more tangled. And now this is like where we're at. It's like, you know,

five, six generations, seven generations. And we're just holding this big bundle thing. And we're like, we don't even know what connects to what or where that goes, and everyone's arguing about how to untangle it, but no one can figure out what's going on. It gets to a point where once you receive a tangled ball,

you just assume that it's tangled by nature. You don't even try to untangle it. Yes, and it's also the people who want to untangle it the most are like, well, what does procedure say, and what should we do? What's in the Constitution of what we can do? Not, oh, what power can we just sit there and use boldly to sit there? And, no, we have to ask bureaucracy to lower this. And that's why local governments are more responsive because they are smaller.

But because they are, it's literally like what service can you provide immediately? Not like these long, you know, alienated beliefs that no one really. I think we've just got, you know, this jumbled up system of a bunch of crisscrossing weird laws and rules and regulations that are confusing everybody. But that's what happened. And I wrote this in the book, by the way. And I talk about this constantly in my in my newsletter, the National Populist Newsletter, is that what happened in all these other countries was finally it was enough. And they voted for these outsized parties that that are very radical in their beliefs and how they do it. Now, we have a first past the post system, which is like you have to get the majority in your individual district. So it's a little different, a little harder to have that. But we're seeing changes within the two party structure that are saying it just doesn't work for us.

And, yeah, some of those people are the AOCs of the world and they're like, you know, nuts. And then some of the people are, you know know real reformers who want to do something and we may see them coming out who sit there and say to like you know the libertarians of the world like oh great you know government can be used for something good i don't think osc is nuts i think she's more what's what's the word for when you want to trick people into stealing from them you know yeah that that that's right yeah bribery subsient. Who's that guy who's just deceitful? OK, I was joking. She just contradicts herself and says whatever her audience at the time wants to hear. And hasn't actually debated.

Yeah. Like when she was like, Trump is running concentration camps. Legal asylees have broken no law. And the guy's like, what's his name? Homan was a guy's name. And he's like, they broke section 23. He like just write it out to her. And then when Joe Biden gets elected and they reopen the Homestead facility, she says,

detention, immigration facilities with controversial records. What a great leap from concentration camp. My problem with populism is when you get a backlash to enact faulty systems, and then you just get some really popular person that doesn't know what they're doing in power. Like Cortez. You've got Mao, you've got Pol Pot, you've got Hitler.

They're all popular stuff, right? Most of those people you just mentioned were not democratically elected. Hitler was, well, he has seized power, but Mao was not democratically elected, just that they're in his position. A lot of them aren't. Yes, and there are power, but he was. But Mao was not democratically elected, just that they're in his position. A lot of them aren't.

Yes, and there are some very bad side effects. I mean, Chavez was democratically elected. Yeah, there are. But there are also people who are democratically elected, like, you know, Orban in Hungary. People aren't being marched into concentration camps. He's not. I mean, as horrible as people say it is in Hungary, what did he do? He said to women, oh, if you want to stay home and have kids, I'll give you a Social Security check.

And like, I mean, yes. It worked? And it started to change. But like, yeah, there are people who do radically terrible things. But it's also like owning a gun. Yeah, some people are nuts and they shouldn't be holding a firearm. And some people are genuine and can actually do something with the power you give them. Look, you know, we're at this point where you've got the Democratic Party wholly embracing Black Lives Matter and the left wholly embracing Black Lives Matter. And the symbol that they fly on their flags is literally the symbol of communism. It is the red salute.

Yeah. As a fact. And they'll tell you, it doesn't mean that. It means something else. I'm like, shut up. If somebody marches around doing the Roman salute, I'll call the guy a Nazii you're not gonna play any stupid games with me they're holding up the red salute that's what they do they put it on their flags a guy tattooed on his neck and then went and shot a trump supporter we are looking at extremists they don't care they're not going to

argue with you you this is the problem conservatives have is they think they're arguing with someone who's interested yeah they think they're going and sitting down with a guy who's literally got the red salute tattooed on his neck and they're like but hear me out here's why i think this policy is wrong and they're like i'm i'm interested i'm actually arguing in good faith have you ever read the federalist papers no that is exactly i tell us all the time conservatives you're playing a game that there's that they're not following the rules like you're literally playing chess and there's no we'll just move any piece if want. I don't see populism functioning in the Democratic Party in that Bernie Sanders, I thought,

was for sure going to be nominated and elected in 2016, and then that happened, and then 2020 again. But because of superdelegates, this ridiculous totalitarian decision-making process... Were you a big Bernie bro? In the beginning, yeah. When the bird landed on his podium, I was like, oh, Gandhi.

Then the Hillary email thing, it was just insanity. The Bernie bird. Yeah, no, that's where that came from, that bird? I just didn't know that came from that.

The bird landed on his podium. I remember, but I didn't make sense. I was like, wow. Like, dude, it's like levitating the Pentagon. You're like, I'm seeing things right now. How amazing was it, though?. Wow. Like, dude, it's like like levitating the Pentagon. You're like, I'm seeing things right now. How amazing was it, though?

How did you feel, Ian, after Bernie was, you know, fighting the system and the bird landed and then he got up on the stage and was like, I'm going to now get on my knees and lick the feet of Hillary Clinton. I cried, but I was so sad I couldn't cry. It was in my it was in my gut. But I laughed. That just shows like there's like no honest leftist left like back in the day there would have been honest leftist like no screw you and the dumb

ones are honest they're just they don't understand power though yeah but like the fact that aoc is endorsing biden going along with it i mean if you're this big revolutionary you don't do that like this this this you know this is the big problem there was this thing posted on twitter by shoe on head about love she won't have she posted this thing where it was like the more i read the more i scroll and it was like the guy turning into style or whatever and it was a github thing where it's like let me show you in inches the wealth of jeff bezos or whatever and it said like in one day jeff bezos made 13 billion dollars and it's like no he didn't anyway and then it's like here's how much you need to uh home all homeless veterans and i'm like money doesn't put homeless veterans in homes

these are children all right this is what what bothers me is like i'm not going to have a debate with someone who's like there's like homeless people will like why don't we just put them in a house like that's so dumb like you could just you put them in the house it's like do you know why people are homeless mental illness and then drug abuse number two and not only that is working poor as well and there's choice so i've worked i worked for a network of homeless shelters you know the biggest problem was you could literally walk up to a guy who was of sound mind and body who was just poor and say to him we have a house legit house we can put you in it we get some clean clothes he'd'd be like, no.

Really? Yep. Why? Because they don't want to leave. They like, they've met. So it's not every single person. A lot of people just assume homelessness is always this bad position that people have unfortunately found themselves in, not realizing that some people choose to do this. It's like Shawshank Redemption where they like being in prison.

Yeah. I suppose. But I wouldn't even feel like being in prison. Some of these people are like, I wake up outside with fresh air. I can walk wherever I want. I can sleep wherever I want. I have nothing to worry about.

I can do what I want. And so they end up sleeping and dragging around crap and they smell bad and it just creates homeless camps and they like doing it. Well, Austin just banned their homeless camps

last week. I'm not saying every single homeless person does. No, no, no. Of course you're not. Of course you're not. So one of the things you deal with is that people refusing to go to the shelter saying, I won't do it. I don't want to do it, and I'm going to stay here.

So then you get Northern California actually saying they'll seize the assets of people who are homeless if they refuse to engage in whatever. You have some people who are mentally unwell. But think about this. Let's say you just said, you know, engage in whatever you have. Some people are mentally unwell. Yeah. But think about this. Let's say you just said, you know what? Don't care what you think. Don't care what your abilities are.

We're going to take you. We're going to put you in a house. Pipe bursts. Now you've got someone who's mentally unwell sitting in a room rocking back and forth as they're being sprayed with water and the floors are soaking up. And who's there to help them? Who maintains the property? These people are children who don't understand there is a massive economic system at play that makes your houses function that's why

when you get this black lives matter woman who's like i'm gonna buy five houses it's not just about the five houses it's about the groundskeeper it's about the building manager it's about somebody's got to be managing all the taxes on this someone's gonna be managing the the day-to-day expenses the male that's showing up there i'm sure she has a staff that's dealing with this to maintain all of these houses. Or as she said, her family is living in them. It's not just the house just sits there and is full of money. And so what happens is you get people on Twitter with hundreds of thousands of followers posting something they absolutely do not understand by it's it's unfortunately it's midwifes that's why zoomers and millennials get their education from social media they're almost

as bad as boomers are with their with facebook posts but now on instagram and twitter where it's just like a literally a picture that's supposed to explain a large system and that's why you get a lot of the beliefs on black lives matter to go back to where we first a lot of it's like oh well black people are 13 of the population but they but they're, you know, this percentage of the, well, what percentage of crime do they commit? What percentage of the, like, there's a lot more than what you're giving and what you're, but your education comes from memes. And that's a problem. Jeff Bezos makes about a million dollars a year in benefits and his salary is $83,000. He has stock.

He can't just sell the stock. He has contractual agreements and obligations. And they say, like, when certain price points are reached, he's allowed to sell out a certain amount He has stock. He can't just sell the stock. He has contractual agreements and obligations. And they say, like when certain price points are reached, he's allowed to sell out certain amount of his stock. So they say he made 13 billion dollars in one day. No, the value of Amazon as a company went up 13 billion. But there is no circumstance in which Jeff Bezos could say, I'm going to liquidate all of my stock into cash right now for 185 billion dollars. It's not possible. There's no circumstance in which you could probably even pull out $10 billion.

It is in weird increments. It's small. It's imaginary. The funniest thing is how people who don't understand economics talk about economics. When they say things like, I remember when Shane Smith of Vice was a billionaire. And I'm like, oh, is he a billionaire? Why? Because he sold a percentage of Vice for

several, $300 million. So his hypothetical holdings of that company multiplied by the investment percentage creates a net worth of billions of dollars. Congratulations. That and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. People don't understand what wealth really means. They think that bezos has all this money you can just throw

around they think zuckerberg has all this money they're rich don't get me wrong right they own like you know bezos has a mega yacht that costs like half a million dollars because he is a billionaire but when they come to you and they say like we should tax 185 billion dollars of bezos it's like he doesn't have that but we should it anyway. How would he pay the taxes on that with a wealth tax? If you were charging him 1%, he's got to pay $1.8 billion. He doesn't have that in liquid assets. Then he should sell his stock. He's not legally allowed to.

Well, we should force it. We should take it from him. Okay, so you're saying you want to liquidate Amazon and lay off tons of people and shut the company down because you don't like that this guy's rich and then have no money and no resources to help anybody. It makes literally no sense. You want to reform the system? Fine. Do your research. Stop wasting my time because you're not arguing anything. But then you have to deal with the fact that

these people, like Bernie Sanders, are in politics and are making policy and then millennials are just sitting here complaining. And they vote. And they vote. That's a big problem. Who are the Zoomers? Zoomers are Generation Z I think born after 1997. They're like in their 20s now it's like the kids okay yeah it's like the kids who are like they're either incels or they're like

they got no hair is it because they used zoom a lot no z i don't know zoomers this is really boomers zoomers so this is really crazy uh zoomers are incels yeah no joke um i'm not trying to be disparaging they don't have sex a lot yeah there was a story from the washington post showing that like more than a third up to like the age of 29 were virgins so that does include some i do know a significant amount of 20 year old men who are virgins like a sing like i knew none when i was like a 23 year old or i knew like a handful who were like we're trying to get laid but just couldn't like 50 in bangkok couldn't help them but now I know a significant amount who are just choosing not to have sex.

No, it's not even about choice. It's like... They have no ambition. They have no ambition. I went through a celibacy phase and it was kind of by choice but kind of not. Like three weeks long? Yeah, yeah.

And it was like five years. But it was a lot of like hoping that I would meet someone. And I would spend like swipe right. I hope that this works out. But that's not how you find someone. they're not it happened there sees the moment when you find they're not trying like they're not trying to meet somebody like they know i i think they don't know how i don't know i don't know but like i'm like let me help you i'm one one of my friends i won't say his name but he uh great guy but he was like i'll make a dating app and they're

like name an interesting thing about you and And he wrote, I love virtue. I'm like, are you joking me? No one's going to swipe right. I'm like, tell you to do a great impression of like Apu on The Simpsons. I don't know, something. Like, don't do like this. You know what's funny? Have you ever watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Yes, I love that show. When he puts on his dating profile like, he's like, what's your favorite food?

He's like, milk steak. But here's the funny thing. In the show, it's like, what? What's milk steak? If you actually made a profile and said like, milk steak. Yes. But here's the funny thing. In the show, it's like, what? What's milk steak? If you actually made a profile and said you loved milk steak, you'd get women being like, I love It's Always Sunny. Like, something is nonsensical. Yes, something nonsensical. You put that – don't put, like, your actual heart and emotion on the sleeve.

Like, you'll get destroyed in life. It's like Twitter. Like, you know, it's a vultures. Tinder and all these apps are really, really awful. I never had a dating app, and I wish – so I never experienced what that's like. And it must be horrible to just try to make general conversation. But if you can't make conversation in real life, how the hell can you make conversation on just an app? I don't know.

Some people are really good at it, and some people – Well, I don't know the exact reason for it, but Washington Post ran the story where they showed that – this was a couple years ago. Men 29 and under were substantially more likely to be virgins like 33 or more percent and i i was we talked about this quite a bit i think it's dating apps because it opens up the dating pool for younger women to older men that didn't used to exist right a 35 year old guy had very little access to 22 year old women he'd have to go and lurk around colleges. It was kind of weird. Now it's just on the app. Boom, there, boom. And you got porn. It could also be,

porn's a big deal, but it could also be like, you have a fear of being accused of being date-raised. For sure. Yeah. I'm sure that's part of it. And like Zoloft,

like different drugs that diminish sex drive. But porn, there's a huge number of 20-year-olds who have dysfunction down there. They can't get it up or whatever. What? Yeah, because of porn.

Because of porn. Yeah, because of a lot of porn. Violent porn is just destructive on the psyche, man. Before we go too deep, let's go to Super Chats. Yes. If you haven't already, smash that like button. Get your Super Chats in now. We're going to start reading your questions and comments.

Yes, numerous outlets reported this earlier today that a communications network for the Colonial Pipeline was down. So whatever gas panic here comes again. reported this earlier today that a communications network for the colonial pipeline was down. So, whatever. Gas panic here comes again. Make 1984 fiction again says it is Tuesday,

May 18th in Massachusetts is still secretly leading number one totalitarian authoritarian regime in the Marxist state of America. As that would be the case. Oh, this is great.

Ryan C. made a little mouse chasing a $5 bill and a flower. What a nice little little piece $5 bill and a flower. How cute. What a nice little piece of art. I love it. Christian Jim Gochian says, I nearly jumped up and cheered

during my shift today when the DA spat in the face of BLM saying at a press conference that the Andrew Brown killing was justified based on Brown's own actions. That's right. Yeah. All right. Ka Lun Ching says, Hi, Tim and crew.

Have you heard of the new Stoplon token? Grew 20 times in a mere two days. Love your work from Singapore. There are a lot of tokens like Dave Portnoy. I guess he called, did he call SafeMoon a Ponzi scheme or something? I don't know. I didn't hear it.

It was hilarious. Because he's like, I don't know. But some dude, this is funny. Hotep Jesus retweeted some guy. I don't know who it was, but he called Dave Portnoy lettuce hands. Why? Because, you know, like paper hands. Yeah.

Because apparently he sold his crypto or something, and he keeps losing whenever he does these bets. Oh, that's funny. I think Dave Portnoy's a cool guy. He's a cool guy, too. Yeah. Donnie Jr. says, Telcoin CEO assisted Nebraska with Bill LB649, which is a statewide framework for cryptocurrency and digital asset banks. Passed two final debates today. Cool stuff.

Crypto is the revolution, man. I think we're at that major turning point. How do you know bad crypto from good crypto? You've got to read the white paper. Most of it's bad crypto. It's like the ethos of the paper and what the crypto actually does. And you've got to look at the company, at the people involved because i don't know like anything about i don't know any about crypto and i just certain ones are like computer programs called smart

contracts which can facilitate like if i send you money and then you need to everyone says bitcoin's the only good one or the ethereum is the safest there. Everything goes up and down based on Bitcoin in many ways. Ethereum is good. And so I have four right now. I have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Cardano. Oh, you got into Dogecoin. For fun. Okay. I thought it was hilarious.

It doesn't really do anything technically. Right, right. But Elon's trying to pump it. I think he's scamming people. Yeah, probably. In my opinion. So you really got to read the white papers. And you can see how time like this crypto will facilitate transactions between the Ethereum I think he's scamming people. Yeah, probably. In my opinion. So you really got to read the white papers.

And you can see ahead of time, like, this crypto will facilitate transactions between the Ethereum blockchain and the Bitcoin blockchain. And so you'll see it has a value, that it's coded to have a value. Some are just like, we will make 100 million of these tokens. And they don't do anything. So I could probably just snap my fingers and create what's called a token, which would exist on the Ethereum blockchain. And I could call it something like BeanieCoin. And I could make a million of them, and then be like, they're for sale, and probably make money.

Just like that. One of my female comic friends said, you know, women are never going to close the gap between men on income, because men just make their own money now. It's not fair. Every time we think we're getting close, now they're just going to make their own coin.

It's not fair. So I think, I'm not giving anyone financial advice. You buy whatever you want. Bitcoin's the obvious. It's the big dog. It's first in, best dressed. Ethereum is the best technology, in my opinion, for now because software apps are being developed using it.

So for instance, Minds.com. So I do have another. I have Minds tokens because I'm on Minds. And then Dogecoin is a joke, and it's funny, and I don don't think it's worth i i think it's just like a silly thing but then uh cardano is very similar to ethereum made by the four one of the founders of ethereum split off started his own company so i'm looking at what cardano is saying to me it kind of feels like once they get up to the point where ethereum's at it's going to explode in value as well so it's a good investment i'm not giving you advice on what to buy, though.

No, I don't know any. I mean, I'm not a technology person. I don't even know how wind happens, so I'm not, like, I'm way behind the thing, but I just want to get more interested. Yeah, it's going to help stabilize the economy. Okay. Good to know. On a state-by-state level.

All right. Lauren Holiday says, Tim, this is my first Super Chat. We are Christians. Do you never dialogue with non-Catholics? We would love to talk to you all. God bless you. I mean, I think it's actually funny because most of the religious people we have are Catholic, right? Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't know that, but yeah, I guess so. I'm Catholic. Yeah. Even though I look like a Jew, I'm Catholic. Are you devout Catholic? What does that mean? I don't know.

Do you study it heavily and like follow the myths? No, because I'm a cradle Catholic, so I don't have to study. We're just kind of born with it. We have like, you know, like Christians read the Bible. Catholics get a man to give you a book report at the end of every week. And that's what you sit there and live with. And that's so we don't. I'm that kind of.

No, but I go to church on Sunday. So if that's devout, then that's what I do. All right. Joseph Allen says, hey, Tim, I just got my to the moon shirt today. I love it. My girlfriend said the light blue color brings out my eyes. LOL. That's what I do. All right. Joseph Allen says, Hey, Tim, I just got my To The Moon shirt today. I love it. My girlfriend said the light blue color brings out my eyes. LOL. That's right.

If you go to TimCast.com and go to the store, we have a special shirt. It's To The Moon. It's a Sheba in a suit holding cash with coins exploding. It's like a Dogecoin joke. Your girlfriend would think you're beautiful. All right. Comic Nut says, I just had the cops called on me last weekend for a noise complaint,

and my neighbors know I'm strapped, and I let them pat me down and everything. The worst that happened was they told me to sober up. Oh, nice. You just keep your hands up. You know, that guy, there's exceptions, right? The guy who was playing Simon Says when the cop was like, put your hands up, put your hands down. If you move your hands and the guy's crying, if that were me, I'd just lay down there and not move.

I would advise never to yell out, don't shoot, don't tase me. Remember the don't tase me, bro? Don't tase me, bro. Because when a cop hears don't tase me, tase me, tase me, that word, don't give double negatives to people in general, especially police officers. You know the guy's friends with Luke, right? No, that's awesome. What does he do now? He writes.

I think he's like a libertarian writer or something. Don't tase me, right? No, that's awesome. He's like good friends with Luke. What does he do now? He writes. Oh, okay. I think he's like a libertarian writer or something. He's like donthasemebro.com. Yes, hopefully. Tase me, bro. Did you just say tase me, bro? Daniel Heron says that Fauci impression is getting damn good. Well, if I actually tried to do impressions, maybe I'd be good at them.

You would. You should. Dressari says, hey, Tim, how is the hyperinflation america going to affect the rest of the world from us there was a a tweet i saw out of nigeria that inflation there's like 20 or something i don't know if that's true i just saw some people tweeting about it it will absolutely have a massive and worse impact on everybody else so basically what inflation does for america is allows us to devalue our debt. This inflation stuff is really good if you're holding massive amounts of debt.

Because you can take your liquid. So right now, let's say you're rich. And you got a, you know, let's say you're not rich. Let's say you got a mortgage. It's like $300,000 mortgage or whatever. You live in a nice suburb. And so you have maybe a few thousand dollars in cash. You can put that into a crypto,

which is going to start going up like crazy, and you're going to gain 10%. And then paying the interest on the house, you're going to make more money on your investment than you would. But more importantly, when inflation hits, the value of the dollar goes down. That means the amount you owe in labor goes down as well. So rich people love it. They take their money and they buy other currencies.

They buy other assets. They buy gold, silver, you know, cryptos, whatever. And then inflation hits, their debts all devalue, and then they can swap back for even more dollars paid all off. It's super easy. It's one of the tricks to owning more stuff. All right. Dylan Keller says, wanted to push back just a bit on the idea the right doesn't use crises who passed the patriot act just playing devil's advocate no disrespect thanks smash the gorilla and i am a like button yeah that's true yes they don't that was the establishment that was that was everyone yeah they all were for that everyone passed everyone made the department of home security but yes the right did do that, but they don't, you know.

Bush had a 90% approval rating, could have done anything he wanted to do, and he invaded a country. There's a problem with left and right. It's this, like, military group of, like, covert military ops like Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney that, like, infiltrated the government and whatever party. It doesn't matter what party affiliate they were. They're militants. I'm not a huge fan of Colin Powell, but when Colin Powell walked into the Bush White House the first day, saw everyone around him and said, these people are bleeping crazies. That was the actual quote. It was like, yeah, exactly.

It was right. It's a show, says Tim. You killed it on Fox tonight. Looking good in that beanie, my friend. Please shout out my show. I'm starting on this channel. It's a show. One love.

I wish I had more time because on Fox they mentioned they were like, Tim, you tweeted Fauci lied and people died. And I said, well, that tweet was in reference to Rand Paul calling out the gain of function research.

And Fauci lied because even PolitiFact says we did provide funding to the Wuhan Institute for gain of function. If I had more time, I would have also said more specifically,

Fauci told people not to wear masks. Then it turns out we needed to wear masks. People died because of that. He also said go on cruises. That's right. Very important. In March of 2020.

He is directly responsible for people doing wrong things. Yeah. And if you want to be the TV doctor who comes out and says, here's what you should do, well, then take responsibility when you tell people to do. You want to know what the craziest thing I've seen in a long time was? There's a video right now out of Dallas. I was going to say something inappropriate, but go ahead. Sorry. Out of Dallas. Two guys in the army and some medical guy. I don't know who he is. They're like, we're going to go give someone the vaccine. And they walk into a 7-Eleven and they ask a guy if he wants a vaccine and they just give it to him.

Now, I don't know if they pre-planned this, what they were actually trying to prove with this, but people think because the video makes it look like they randomly walked into a store and found a random guy to give a vaccine to. And I just thought to myself, how insane is it that they're at the very least, maybe behind the scenes, off camera, they secretly planned it and looked over his medical records. How insane is it that you could be at 7-eleven and an army guy walks in and says how would you like to get medicated right now and you'd go awesome how dangerous is it to walk up and give a medication to someone you don't know their history

and how dangerous is it to make a movie about a tv documentary about that making other people think it's okay to do that to people and like even the weirdest thing is have you seen the covid the covid card there's no documentation to say that this is like a medical there's no doctors like the doctor there's nothing on it's not supposed to i i know but that's in that's literally insane because like how do i know a doc like how do we how do you know who gave it to you if it's it's bizarre it is it's like literally the most blank piece of paper i've ever seen. There's no stamp on it. There's no like actual government issued anything. They're talking about setting up vaccine sites outside of 7-Elevens at bars when people are drunk.

And I'm like, don't you need someone's medical history before you give them a medication? You can't get a tattoo if you're drunk, but you can get a vaccine. It's not even about that. It's about there are certain counterindications for medication, period. Yeah, of course. So imagine if you walked up to a 7-Eleven and the guy was like, want some Valium? Here's some Prozac. It's like, no, no, no, no.

And you're a hot dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, you wanted the pizza from the counter? If you're eating food, hot food at a 7-Eleven, do you really care about your health that much? I think that's the first question. That's bad food. I think it's absolutely insane, but there's this waiver of liability for the companies so you can't sue them you can't sue them of course so freakish if someone came up to me and said i got these pills you want to take

one i'd be like no i'm not taking your what are you doing if someone had a needle and said do you want to inject absolutely not i'm going to go to my doctor like every normal person should and talk about my health and they'll go through my chart they have they have a record in your computer like you know someone gets stung by a bee and they get all and you know allergic and have anaphylactic shock they can be like oh well you know we should make sure we don't give you this vaccine because of that reason some random guy walks into a 7-eleven it's like here you go and the guy's like awesome or allergies period that to me is nuts it is i mean i guess i guess thinking about it too it's same for flu shot you go to walgreens and they're like here's your flu shot it's like do they know anything

about your history do you i've never gotten a flu shot they don't you know they don't ask you like a i don't know i've never okay so never mind this is like the wrong audience they make you answer a few questions do they it's pretty light yeah i had to get them every single year and they're like are you allergic to eggs are you well at least they ask you like a single question yeah yeah so they'll fall with you what do What are you laughing at, Tim? Eli M. says, I can't send the link, but if you Google Black Rose Firearms Chainsaw Bayonet, a company went ahead and made one on USA Today's behalf. Great show as always, Tim.

Ian Lives Matter. Hi, LM. They made a chainsaw bayonet. I look it up. Is it really small? How does it work? It's the weight distribution. That's going to be hard to carry after a while. That weighs on your forearm.

Yeah, I don't know how that's going to work. Jonathan Nafors says, Lieutenant Governor Robinson is our hope here in NC. We're still wondering how we kept Commie Cooper in charge but elected a rep lieutenant governor and senator. Also, sheriffs in California and Lincoln County stated they won't enforce his dumb gun laws. Robinson actually got more votes than Trump did. And I like him because he grew up super poor, but also was he worked for a factory. The factory got displaced by NAFTA. Like he is a working middle class.

It's because he won that pro gun video. And if you haven't watched it, you should check it out. That program video that became popular and he became the nominee. And he's just he's stellar. All right. Dan and S says Biden isn't radical. He's a puppet. I predicted this when everyone but Sanders and Warren dropped out and backed him.

Absolutely. Good point. If the puppeteer is radical, does that mean the puppet is? Not really. The puppet's just a puppet. Did you see Freedom Tunes' new video? So you saw the photo of Biden and Jill with Jimmy Carter, and they look massive. Yes.

So Freedom Tunes made a cartoon where Jimmy Carter. Yeah. Massive. Yes. So Freedom Tunes made a comic made a cartoon where Jimmy Carter and his wife are puppets. And they're like, yeah, it's really. Yeah. I've seen that picture. Actually. Yeah. They look like they look like they're on their lap. Like as right.

Right. Yeah. It's wild. Amy B says they say Biden is the most popular president ever because he got 80 million votes. By that metric, he's also the most unpopular because 70 million, 74 million voted against him. That's true. Pablo Mendoza says, I love how you skipped Gen Xers, LOL, boomers and millennials, but

no Gen X. Well, it's because the silent generation has the Gen X. The boomers have the millennials. There's this jump that happens, you know. Generation skip. Yeah. So Generation X, they're basically just like in the cracks. They complain the least.

They're great. They need less attention. They made a lot of industries. They're successful. They definitely co-opted Millennials successfully. Something about them drinking a lot of Pepsi in the 90s, I guess. Listen, they watched Heathers

and then they grew up and like they complained and they listened to Nirvana and then they were like, okay, we got out of our system. We're good. They saw like Autotune come in the music industry and didn't like it. Man, Generation X, what are they were like okay we got it out of our system we're good they saw like Autotune come in the music industry

and didn't like it Gen X were they like late 40s now they're probably in their 40s late 40s and 50s yeah yeah because if

millennials are going into their 40s then they are in their 40s and 50s 42 I think is the first yeah the youngest Gen X yeah

Dan and S says Gen X aren't silent generation we're a forgotten generation no no no the silent generation is the generation before boomers

and they had Gen Xers yeah they had Gen Xers they birthed Gen X yeah that's correct we're a forgotten generation. No, no, no. The silent generation is the generation before boomers. And they had Gen Xers. Yeah. They had Gen Xers. They birthed Gen X. Yeah. That's correct. We're a forgotten generation outnumbered by boomers

and millennials. Yeah, but you're better. The Mexican American conservative says, have you seen the life cycle of democracy? Look it up, gang, and tell me what you think.

Okay, I will. Love Angel says, when I was young, nearly all the jobs were gone and getting told uh getting told only way to get a job was to go to university that's right no one to you says likes don't register unless you press three times wiped after commercials i'm not the only one experiencing this mostly conservative content the salt must flow so yeah there was some weird thing that happened where YouTube announced that there was a glitch with likes or something.

Yeah. I don't know for sure, but like a bar appeared on all the channels being like, we fixed an error having to do with this. And a lot of people were chatting about it. So if you would like to support the show, smash that like button. We appreciate it. Corey Thomas says, I'm really curious to learn why Ryan isn't a proponent of term limits. Great show and great guests as always. P.S.

A month and a half into living in AZ and it's great. Well, I think you, uh, I, yeah, it just doesn't, I mean,

I've seen it in New York and it doesn't work great a lot of times. And most people get cycled through the establishment. They just kind of like their own people. So the same policies, you just have different faces proposing it. I just maybe work different other places, but in New York, I haven't seen it work wonders. Or if you didn't let people from the administration run

yeah like if you couldn't work you couldn't have worked in the government i mean i don't know and also by the way the staffs generally stay the same like the new person will come in and bring it in the same staff who done everything it's i don't see it as very effective all right boris r says i grew up in the so Soviet Union in the 80s. We had mandatory training with assembling and shooting AK-47 throughout high school. It's hard to get guns in Russia, but everyone knows how to use one. Just a fun fact. Great show.

That's interesting. All right. Irish wristwatcher says if you were in the apocalypse and you only had to have one gun, what would it be? Well, I have not used every single gun. But at this point, it would be the SIG M400. You see, Crowder just sent me one, and I got to say, I've got a couple of ARs that shoot 5.56, and I've got a bunch. I got a 50 BMG. We got some 308. We've got some

shotguns, and I finally get this weapon that Crowder had sent out. We went to the range. Everybody tried it, and we were all extremely impressed. So I got a Sig Tread sight for it, a red dot, and everybody was just extremely comfortable with it. The muzzle brake was fantastic. And so it's 5.56. You get a standard round magazine, of course, which is 30. And then you're good in the apocalypse.

It's a good versatility, I suppose. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Maybe some other people would choose something else. I guess if you're good in the apocalypse. It's a good versatility, I suppose. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. Maybe some other people would choose something else. I guess if you're talking about guns and you theoretically could pick any gun from any point, you could choose probably a selective fire rifle of some sort, I guess. You'd take a rifle, though, for sure. Not a pistol.

I want the chainsaw bayonet. Yes. That's my chosen gun. It's cool. For the zombie apocalypse. Yeah, exactly. We've got to make an FPS that has the chainsaw bayonet. That's your next t-shirt.

There you go. Don't tread on me with a chainsaw bayonet. I love it. All right. Jonathan Smith says, the greatest generation, they starved. They fought a war, came home to kids, didn't know how to be parents. Every generation since doesn't know how to raise kids. Asian families do. That's why their kids are successful. Hey know how to be parents. Every generation since doesn't know how to raise kids. Asian families do. That's why

their kids are successful. Hey, I have Asian parents. I have Asian parent. There you go. Explains it. Colin Conant says, love you Ian. You make the whole podcast. Thank you, Colin. What a bold endorsement. We're a team, Colin. Thank you.

Nathan Parrish says, hey all, US sailor here. I recently got a promotion and had about 11 hours of leadership training. There was very little about leadership, but a lot of talking about diversity and how we should strive for it. Can't give opinion on this because military. I'm sure everybody thinks it's the stupidest thing ever, and it's making everything fall apart. Matthew Mansfield says, comparing greatest to millennial generation from life challenge perspective is intellectually lazy and it illustrates panel bias check these kids ian i just said that they didn't go through the same thing that obviously the creation

i am on the last year of gen x um i did just say that they are not, I don't think it was last year. 79? Millennials. 80, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. I feel like a millennial, but I guess I always wanted to be Gen X because all my friends, the older friends, I always looked up to them. Yeah. You guys had a Pepsi commercial, right?

Oh, man. Michael Jackson. I used to have Michael Jackson's vest in this commercial. Remember when the thing exploded over him and caught his fire? That was Pepsi, right? Was that Pepsi? That was Pepsi, yeah. Man. Crazy. remember when the thing exploded over him and like that was pepsi yeah crazy you had a pepsi commercial all right mr mcdouganstein says congress is not supposed to be an assisted living facility we need to vote out the career politicians how about age limits well i would rather do term limits than age limits personally because if i'm 80 and i want to run for

president and i'm healthy, I'm down. How about if your teeth don't fit, then you shouldn't be able to run for Congress. Like, Nancy Pelosi sold her teeth don't fit anymore. I got a better idea. Alright, in order to get into any of the chambers, the Senate or the House,

there's like a long corridor with water, right? Underneath, and there are just logs just placed at random points. And in the water, alligators. So everyone has to be able to just jump across. And it doesn't matter how old you are if you can't do it. I feel like Chuck Grassley could do it still at like 80 years old. I feel like he would wrestle an alligator just for fun.

He falls in and then you know nancy pelosi and everyone's name they're scared and then he climbs out the other side with his clothes all wrapped in his butt he's like who's next i feel like that'd be chuck grassley at 88 years old yeah all right let's see youtube just jumped the super shits i love when when they do that why not g, Gordon says, is there any way you can give my GoFundMe a shout out? My wife is stuck in Florida

because of her ex-husband. We are going to court and drowning in legal fees. The title is Help My Wife and I move her to Tennessee. Well, there you go. Wow. Sam T says,

Bitcoin is going to 30K soon. Altcoins will moon. Love the show. Cheers. Bitcoin may go to 30, sure sure but it's also going to be uh happening in a couple of years which means rewards diminish and then the value is going to skyrocket but a lot of people made really good points about what's happening right now for one you had elon musk playing dirty games you also have tax season people got to pay taxes they make

a bunch of money they need money for taxes and it's the first year you're taxed on Bitcoin, right? I don't think it's the first year. But you are taxed on Bitcoin. Oh, definitely. It's just hard for them to track. You know what I was saying? The only commodity we don't tax in this country right now is data for these big tech companies. They don't tax

data and it's what they make their money on. If you wanted to punish big tech, you would sit there and tax data yeah like 90 percent what do you mean like a 90 percent rate i mean but that's the truth or you make your own data you buy data from people and that's so cool they have to sell you your data i mean that could be that would be like real wealth distribution by people by companies who don't pay taxes that could could be written into a smart contract, too. Like a token would go to a person when their data was transferred. Yeah, I was just rallying about this today,

is that taxing data would be the one way to really. Patrick Davis says, everybody help with Ian's treatments. I assume he is getting help, hopefully. I am getting massive amounts of help. I think that's a compliment. I think they're saying you're doing a good job. We're building the Fediverse. I don't know what that guy's talking about.

Oh, okay. I just noticed people around the world are helping me right now. The point he's making is that before he was critical of you, and you're doing better now, so he's saying something must be working. Get it? You're right. You're right. I've been meditating.

There you go. Yeah, perfect. He's trying to lift the Pentagon right now. Yeah, he is. Trying. Trying. Sadly. Yeah, he's trying. He's trying. Sadly. Yeah.

Chronicles of Riddick said, Came to this country with two suitcases from socialist India, where our land was seized by the government. My first flag was issued to me, and today I have a master's in aero engineering. Immigration debate should be about legals. Thoughts? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, legal immigration is far more important than what's going on illegally i mean legally it's horrendous right now especially with the with biden just having open borders um but no the legal immigration argument should be definitely happening learn the language we got we got to help somebody out of here so so connor acevedo says i'm 22 and i've never had a girlfriend and i have literally no idea how to get a girlfriend now it's such a different scene it may maybe but here's what you do. First, I don't know what your situation is. Start walking.

I say go to skate parks. I love skate parks. They're a whole lot of fun. There's a lot of people. Everybody's always having a good time and always encouraging each other. Or go to the gym and have a good time. But it's really, really easy. You guys ready for this?

You get a dog. You go down to the beach. And then you let the dog off the leash. Oh, no. Oh, he's running over to the – ladies, I am so sorry. Herman just really loves everybody. Dogs are a big thing. But also, listen, don't overthink things.

I have a lot of friends in college especially who overthought talking to a girl. So they would make like these raw generalizations. I'm like, no, no. It's really like not that difficult. So I would go take them to the Jersey Shore and I would walk up and say this is my buddy so and so he's from nebraska he's never seen the ocean before they thought that was so cool and they would they would want to talk to somebody i mean it's not always a hit or miss but like don't over don't over over complicate things make it real simple and i just gotta say don't take advice from me the dog thing's a joke don't

do it because i'm just imagining now like some guy gets like a pit bull. Gets mauled. And like people are running and screaming. You get like a multi-poo or like a Jack Russell Terrier. Like some cute little dog or whatever. A lab. Multi-poo. I have a multi-poo.

That's why I was thinking about it. No, you got to get like a golden doodle. Golden doodles are like the friendliest dogs. They don't care. But it's not that hard to talk to a girl. I don't know where you're from, where you live. Maybe there are not a lot of women your age, but it's not that difficult. I think it's a weird concept to even say it's hard to talk to a girl.

You look like, hi. But no, no. Hello, fellow human. Listen, if you in fact say that, walk up to someone and go, hello, fellow human. If you're afraid of rejection, that, walk up to him and go, hello, fellow. If you're afraid, if you're afraid of rejection, if you're afraid of rejection, you literally like just put it out there enough times you will get, you may be one out of a hundred,

but you will get a yes. If you just throw yourself out there enough, like what you're doing, that, that translates, that makes you attractive to women. So whatever you like to do, do it,

do it and be confident about it. Even if it's like playing video games or something super nerdy, like go with it, be with it. Yeah. Even if it's like playing video games or something super nerdy, like go with it, be with it. Especially if it's concerning some sort of public-facing performance because then women will become obsessed with you. Get a safari hat and binoculars and then go to bars and just, you know, walk around. That would make me laugh.

I'm kidding. Yeah, women are attracted to people who are funny. So if you're funny. Being funny is like having big boobs. You get old through a lot of life But I'm just imagining Somebody actually putting on a safari hat and binoculars Just because they do that doesn't mean they're going to be funny It might just be like extra weird

It's like Hello Hi What are you doing with those binoculars Hi I'm lost And have like Hi. What are you doing with those binoculars? Hi. I'm lost. And have like, if you get a first date, have like three interesting topics that you would start conversations. I got it.

It's so important to be able to start a conversation and hold it. I got it. And ask them about themselves. Learn the thriller dance and get a little Bluetooth speaker and go downtown somewhere and just by yourself do the Thriller Dance and you know what will happen? Invariably, a bunch of women

will come behind you and start doing the Thriller Dance with you. That's true, yeah. That is not true. Don't endorse this. This is not the idea. It's a joke.

I'm kidding, but I firmly believe if you were playing Thriller and doing the dance, people would join you and they would do the Thriller Dance. Do you know the Thriller Dance? No. I know like the thing. Yes. No one under 40 knows the Thriller during the dance, people would join you. Oh, yeah. Do you know the Thriller dance? No.

I know like the thing. No one under 40 knows the Thriller dance unless you are. Hey, he does. Reintroduce it. I saw that video a lot of times.

You're over 40, though. Then what do you do? The cha-cha slide or something? No, don't. The Macarena. No. We all did that when we were kids. Yes.

It's only five moves, but like, yeah. But like, don't just start randomly dancing. Like, you're going to get arrested. Go and like actually. No, you won't.

You can dance in the street. Not in the street. In the street, yeah. I mean like in the city, like on the sidewalk and like an open area. Who would approach somebody dancing? I mean, I'm from New York for too long. I would never approach someone just dancing in the street. Bro, dude.

I used to play music in Chicago on the street all the time. Playing music and randomly dancing. Especially if there's no music playing. There were people who would randomly dance. They'd turn on music, and they would just do dances, and people would give them money, and then people would come over and dance with them and hang out. You've got to dance in your mind. You're counting the rhythm, like 1, 2, 3, 4, in your lower left core. You just pick the part of your body that's doing the beat, 1, 2, 3, 4,

and you subtly move it so that people can't really tell you're moving but because you're moving you're in that comfort flow people find that attractive i'd be willing to bet i'll bet you that if you go to like if you're in new york and you're playing the thriller and you're doing the thriller dance of like while that song is playing in one iteration someone will come up and start dancing yes because mental illness is rampant in New York. I don't know where this kid lives. He could be living in a cornfield in Omaha. I'm just sitting there and saying, you know what? Go to places where there are people your age.

If you're 22 and you're in college, especially like, and I guess colleges are closed now, but try your hardest there because after college it becomes a lot harder. It just does because you're not around people your age as much. You have to be much more aggressive. So if you're in college, go for it. When you're done, may i add my two cents because i don't know anything about girls yeah but i would say that if you're working toward a common goal it becomes a lot easier to have something to

talk about in the first place so if you approach someone for example in your class or someone who's working on something with you that's going to be good too if you actually want someone who will work with you in life i think that's a good start yeah that. That's just my really boring. It's not a joke. It's not quite serious. If you're working towards the same goal, it's really good. I agree with that. Yeah. Average guy 3048 says, hi, Tim, I'm a Gen Z and I don't want to date any women here in

the US because I'm afraid of being accused of something horrible. So, yeah, thanks, society. So I just told you. Yeah. So date guys or girls overseas. That's always kind of thrilled me. Like immigrants who don't know illegal aliens. They can't complain.

They'll be deported. I mean, that's your option. No, no. I'm just joking. I was a kid. But no, I don't think every girl is like that. It's kind of crazy because I wonder if the internet is doing this. Do you know what the secret technique was when I was growing up?

I don't know. There wasn't. I was just like, hi. How do I get to know as it goes yeah well it makes anti-social people if you own your communications through a through a screen i mean does you want to you know what i used to do because i used to do fundraising for non-profits and i'll let you in a secret for fundraising that these companies don't tell you men predominantly fundraise off of women women predominantly fundraise off of men oh yeah so in the fundraising office you have like women and you'd ask them like you all the names all dudes all dudes all dudes all dudes and then for me it's like all the signups are women and so you

want to know the easiest way for me to actually get it we call it a stop like to get someone to stop and talk to you just see someone walking on the street and then i see a person walk right up reach out my hand yeah physical contact no no i don't touch them i reach out my hand and you know what they do they shake my hand and i say hey nice to meet you i'm tim what are you doing you go to school here you go to you go to columbia oh cool yeah much my friends go here well i'm saving the environment you want to save the environment with me which city do this in chicago i did in chicago and california oh in new york they'd say go f yourself like i don't think so i don't know because i would never shake my hand with someone yeah you wouldn't but so i wouldn't waste my time with someone like you what what the the the best

fundraisers do is they identify the way i describe it to people when i was training i was like you can you can start to see the signs in someone if they have like a furled brow that's a red light you're not going to stop resting you know what face like right right right right yeah you're not going to stop then you have like yellow it's like we can try if you don't understand this concept you're gonna be yelling at people who hate you all day don't do that look for the green light look for the people who are walking around with a smile on their face they're doing something specific they got headphones in it's a waste of your time if they're like purposely avoiding you don't waste your time you see eye contact like yeah they make eye contact but then you just walk up you shake your hand hey hey how's it going what are you doing and then just you just have fun so i just feel like uh

you know so hey do you live in you live in chicago like oh that's cool like you go to school here you don't go to school here what are you doing i do you what are you walking around downtown for like some crazy person then they'd laugh and i'd be like no whatever man you know here give me your credit card real quick and they'd be like what i'm like i'm serious give me your credit no because we're saving the environment and then they laugh it's It's fun. Maybe I'm just arrogant, so it was really easy for me to tell people what to do. Your suggestion about touching physical contact is massively important. But you can offer it. You can only offer it.

Of course. And it should be innocent. Don't touch people. Just because you want to make a connection, that's the best thing with dating, too. When you first meet someone, if you make physical contact, like, mutually mutually it makes it so much easier to interact just here's my advice the best thing you can do is to like go downtown and then just identify a person you want to meet and just start singing that meat love song i will do anything for love and then they're just going to immediately be like here's my phone number he has not offered a single good suggestion i just want everyone

for the 22 year olds who's like writing down, this is where you're like. Meatloaf, Anything for Love. What year was that, 93? I got to guess, yeah, something like that. All right, everybody.
