Starting point is 00:00:00 Close your eyes, exhale, feel your body relax, and let go of whatever you're carrying today. Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-CONTACTS. Oh my gosh, they're so fast! And breathe. Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste. Visit 1-800-CONTACTS.com today to save on your firstaste visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order 1-800-contacts so netflix has updated their corporate culture memo with an
Starting point is 00:00:35 anti-censorship an anti-censorship section i got it strong got it everybody strong sir thank you thank you and uh they basically said if you are woke and you don't like what we're buying, you can go pound sand. They didn't say it like that. They were like, maybe this isn't the right place for you. I love it. You know what the problem is? They're losing subscribers.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Their stock is tanking because nobody wants to deal with the stupidity of politics. Like, let me watch a movie, yo. But you also got to understand, when they say they're going to keep running these movies and they're not going to tolerate censorship, you know they're also talking about cuties, right? It's not just Dave Chappelle. But for the most part,
Starting point is 00:01:15 the employees at Netflix and these leftists were defending cuties. So when they say maybe you should quit, they're not talking about that. They're talking about Dave Chappelle. So good, good. It's a positive change in the culture war. We got a crazy story with Elon Musk. I am going to give you my theory. Elon Musk knew there was fraud at Twitter,
Starting point is 00:01:35 and he's playing a game to force them to be exposed. I think Twitter manipulated the numbers. We know for a fact Twitter's published false user numbers on more than one occasion. I think Elon Musk knew that and I think by doing this deal, it's forcing them to expose how they're manipulating the public. I don't know if he'll actually end up buying the company, but either way, it looks like something crazy about to happen, so we'll get into all of that.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Joining us tonight on this wonderful Friday is Julia Song. Do you want to grab your mic? Do you want to introduce yourself? Hello. They found me outside. We did. And they brought me in. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Hi, everyone. This is Julia. So, yeah. What do you do? That's it. That's it? Yeah. You don't do anything.
Starting point is 00:02:20 So you can follow me on Twitter, Twitter at RealJuliaSong, but basically I write. I do a lot of commentary on politics based on my experience doing some activism in Brazil and how the, you know, the socialists take over using some of my experience. My mother was an attorney for the opposition party. So we had a lot of, we suffered a lot of political persecution. Things went downhill.
Starting point is 00:02:44 And I decided to fight back. I moved here to the U.S. thinking it's done, but it's not because everything is being played out just the same. So here I am sharing my wisdom and my knowledge and my wonderful looks. Well, all right. Thank you very much. Thank you for stopping by. Unfortunately, we also have Seamus.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I mean, I'm sorry it balances it out I suppose so with Netflix here by the way I think they could stand to lose a few employees with how their stock is doing so maybe this is that and again I agree with you and with the whole
Starting point is 00:03:20 I mean I can't Netflix is never going to be a company we can look upon positively after cuties. It's sick. And Big Mouth? Yeah. But I am Seamus Coughlin. I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes.
Starting point is 00:03:31 We just uploaded a cartoon this past Thursday called Bro V. Wade. I think you guys are really going to enjoy it. Go over there, check it out. Hit the notification bell. We're going to be releasing a couple videos next week about this Roe v. Wade being overturned. And I think you'll enjoy those as well. Ian Crosland, everybody. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:03:49 Good to see you. Happy Friday. Let's get rolling. Yes, it is Friday the 13th. I'm very excited. It's a silly little date. Kind of dumb. And I wanted to say, too, that Netflix has horrible cartoons.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Seamus has great cartoons. We have your competition. Thank you. Here we go. Yeah, there you go. I don't know if this is true, but I heard there's going to be a blood moon lunar eclipse tonight. Of course there is. I don't know. I'm going to look that up. I'm curious now.

Starting point is 00:04:28 from Timcast.com. Netflix adds anti-censorship section to corporate culture memo. Quote, if you'd find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you. The streaming service has advised employees. And that's really it. That's the big smack in the face. The document, it's their culture, it's their corporate culture memo, whatever, guidelines, was originally a 125 slide presentation
Starting point is 00:04:56 created by co-founder Reed Hastings to regulate the company without a traditional corporate structure. Now it's called Netflix Culture Seeking Excellence. And they're basically saying they've added an anti-censorship portion to it.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And everybody basically assumes it's about Dave Chappelle. Netflix dumps a ton of money on one of the most prominent, if not the greatest comedian of all time, or at least he's the goat, right? They're going to make
Starting point is 00:05:19 a lot of money on this. And their own employees hurt their business. But you know what else they did? If you watch the dave chappelle special i forgot which one was called not the closer it was the one before this where he makes the uh sticks and stones i think it was six and stones where he has this he has that funny bit where he's like ladies if you can kill it i can at least abandon it and stuff like
Starting point is 00:05:40 that so he also you know imitated a chinese person and a very offensive stereotype he went he went for it the closer was basically him clearly you know ruffled up he was basically defending himself the whole time like why are people yelling at me so netflix was like wow that was not that good they cost us money if you don't like it get out i feel like at the corporation there should be something in their contracts where if you speak out against the company, I don't know if every corporation knows this, but there's a recourse that you can be fired with no bailout package or anything. If they don't have that, maybe they should consider putting that into their contracts for their employees. And secondly, Jeremy Hamby, the quartering, said this earlier today.
Starting point is 00:06:23 He was reporting on this as well, that they're about to do a mass layoff. I mean, they've just lost massive amounts of money. They're about to lay people off. So if they can get them to quit, they don't have to pay them unemployment. You know what story I really love is when there's a company I used to work for that I left. And a bunch of employees I knew there were like, we're going to unionize. And I said, you realize that company doesn't make any money, right? It's all investment. There's no profit. So if you're getting paid off of someone else's
Starting point is 00:06:49 money and you're not making any money for them, and then you go to the boss and say, I want more money. He's going to be like, get out. You're fired. There's no negotiating when you don't make any money. And they didn't believe me. They were like, no, we're going to get raises and benefits. And I was like, dude, you need to go right now and tell them that you don't want to be a part of that. You love your job and you'll look for any opportunity within any of the sister networks. And then sure enough, what ends up happening is they all come and say, we want to unionize. And they were like, everyone's fired. 300 people just gone. Look, my attitude for most people is like, feel unionized if you want to. Back then I was just like, but just keep in mind what your negotiating power is.
Starting point is 00:07:29 So when you have Netflix, here's why I bring this up. These employees stomp their feet, stage walkouts, protest the company they work at. What do you think is going to happen when it comes time for layoffs? Like the growth is not infinite. There will come a time when Netflix is hurting. Netflix is hurting netflix is hurting and they're gonna be like okay we gotta lay off 10 of the company who should we start with um how about all of the people that were complaining causing us bad press and weren't doing their jobs yeah so this is a classic case of uh the squeaky wheel getting the grease for
Starting point is 00:07:59 sure and in this instance it's not something positive this is where you're like trying to figure out all right who needs to go, all right, who needs to go? Who needs to go? Who needs to go? Oh, right. You. You were complaining about this guy who was going to make us a ton of money. You can get out.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Don't want you anymore. Very much a case of flying too close to the sun, feeling very entitled to everything that Netflix has to offer. And like they have to bow to you. They don't, turns out, which I think is great. Yeah, that's a good point. I obviously think collective bargaining can be a great thing, but people have to consider the value that they're bringing to the table as well as how profitable the company they're working for actually is
Starting point is 00:08:29 because oftentimes it does happen that a business will run without making anything, and the company's completely sponsored by other people's money or by loans, and so they really can't afford to give people more. Sometimes it also happens to be the case that profit margins for certain industries are just razor thin, and what you actually have to do to make more than that profit margins for certain industries are just razor thin. And what you actually have to do to make more than that is pick a different industry. Yeah. And I'm a little bit concerned that these people are going to go to other industries and bring the same horrible mindset and that these industries are going to kowtow to them just like they have in the past.
Starting point is 00:08:58 It's a little bit concerning, but who knows. You know what's going to happen is Netflix is going to write amazing recommendations for all of these employees they want to get rid of. Please. And it's going to be like, they were so good, but you know, with the downsizing, it's unfortunate. I wish we didn't have to let them go. And then some other company is going to be like, well, it looks like everybody really liked you. You're hired. Suckers.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Recommendations are such a tricky thing, right? Because landlords will also recommend people that they just want to get rid of to other landlords. Yeah, they're great. No, they pay their rent on time. They're never allowed. They don't make a mess of the place. That's a good point. I had to give a recommendation one time and I was like, I'm going to tell the truth about this person.
Starting point is 00:09:33 They should not hire this MF. This person was not good. And I don't know if that person got the job or not, but I was like, you need to know what you're getting into. You did the right thing. I think so. I think so. I don't know. I think it's your responsibility
Starting point is 00:09:45 as a business owner to be honest about your employees' behavior. It's just such a case of social justice for them to just be like, oh, we're going to say super nice things about them. So wherever they end up working, that person's going to be blindsided by freaking activism.
Starting point is 00:09:59 It's not helpful to any workplace. Well, yeah. Get well, go broke. Yeah. And again, I mean, whenever you're dishonest, it's going to cause problems. And if you're dishonest about something like that, you're actually doing the person more harm than good. Because if you're being dishonest with the people who you're sending them to, there's a higher probability that you were also
Starting point is 00:10:16 being dishonest with them when you were expressing potential problems or failing to. And so you've deprived them of an opportunity to grow. This is obviously mostly about Dave Chappelle. Yeah. But I also just warn people, Cuties had a big backlash too. And if Netflix is really saying, oh, we're not going to get rid of this, we're going to, artistic expression is so important. Yeah, that's what they were claiming about Cuties, where to produce the movie, they actually trained little girls to do sexual dancing.
Starting point is 00:10:44 It's disgusting. You shouldn't do that. And they also have Big Mouth, which is produce the movie, they actually trained little girls to do sexual dancing. It's disgusting. It's like, you shouldn't do that. And they also have Big Mouth, which is just the weirdest show. I don't understand that show. Can somebody who's seen it explain it to me? Like, what's the draw? I don't want to say it. You just don't want to say it?
Starting point is 00:10:55 Like, okay, it's about children having sex. There you go. Yeah, it's like 12-year-olds experiencing puberty, but it's like overly sexualized. There's a demon that sits on the kid's shoulder that's like a sex demon. I've only seen it once. That's real? Yeah. It's really disturbing.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And there's overt sex, like sexual acts with little kids. How is that allowed? High school kids. Seriously. I mean, South Park had a few jokes like that in its run, like a handful.
Starting point is 00:11:17 But this is a show just based about that. Like, that's all it is. But, you know, I guess the one thing is South Park never, like, South Park has done some really over-the-line jokes. Of course.
Starting point is 00:11:33 But this show, I remember I was hanging out with some dudes, you know, at some party. And they had Netflix on and the show was on. And then I'm like, what is this? And then I'm watching it. I don't even want to say – I don't even think for a family-friendly show I can explain what they showed. Like I can't even want to say, I don't even think for a family-friendly show I can explain what they showed. Like, I can't say it. There was materials that were shown from a male, like, on a child. And I'm just like, I don't know why you guys are watching this.
Starting point is 00:11:54 What is this? That's, like, not even edgy. That's just full-on perversion. It's disgusting. Jail. Right to jail. That's why I'm like, Netflix, censor that one. I don't always agree with you, Tim, but it's one of those shows, man, where I walked into the room, my friend was watching, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:08 this is ridiculous. Why? And I walked out. I wouldn't let myself be near it while it was on. It was so disturbing. I'd be willing to bet that if we showed on this show a clip from Big Mouth, we'd get taken down. So this strikes me as gender queer the show because
Starting point is 00:12:25 you can't read that in front of a school board meeting and they're like oh please shut up we have kids at home watching this so if you were to show this on you know youtube they'd be like oh my gosh you cannot show that well it's on netflix there was one controversy where youtube netflix uploaded a clip from the show that shows two pre-bubescent girls fully nude what walking through a bathhouse with a bunch of other naked women that are all singing and dancing about being naked. And what they argued was, no, no, no, it's good because it's body positivity. It's like to teach little girls to like their bodies. And I was just like, I don't know if you need to actually show all of this to give someone a message about it. It seems like an excuse. I mean, you want to teach little kids about their bodies. That's
Starting point is 00:13:04 the parent's job. You put a TV show with little girls parading around, 47-year-old men are going to be watching it too. Yeah, that pisses me off. I feel like with Netflix though, they get so much flack from everybody. They get flack from everything that they do.
Starting point is 00:13:20 They're getting flack, so they're telling the employees like, if you guys say anything, it's going to add because they lost so much money with their they're getting flags so they're telling the employees like if you guys say anything is going to add because they lost so much money with their their stock value and all of that so it's like don't come out don't even with the twitter stuff it's like the the the inflated numbers i feel like they're trying to keep people from doing uh whistleblowing or doing anything that could potentially have an impact because they're so sensitive to bad press right now. And I think it's just a weak move, I guess. Yeah. The free speech argument is there like, oh, these employees should be able to say whatever
Starting point is 00:13:58 they want about their parent company. And you know what they are, legally they are, but the company has the right to fire them. And if you don't like where you're working and you want to complain about that company publicly then you probably shouldn't be working there well yeah i mean also it's one of these things where you can have conversations with people who are above you in the company or voice your criticisms within it is sort of a strange thing to go outside of the organization and start trashing at that point it's like why are you working there why do you work for these people you think are horrible are you doing something to try to change it on the inside and if that's not working again why are you still there i feel like it's uh to me that raises all kinds of red flags like if you're telling outside people that you hate the company
Starting point is 00:14:38 what are you doing during your company hours that could potentially like are you taking away stealing information are you not doing your job like you're potentially like are you taking away stealing information are you not doing your job like you're supposed to are you eating up your hours like that's to me to me i feel well a lot of the contracts that you sign the companies as well they're like you have to go through um our public relations uh office you can't if the media reaches out to you you can't talk to them right the social media policy so i mean it makes sense um i just it's sort of like something that i guess people never thought the companies would actually follow through but i guess netflix is like you know honestly i'm glad that they are because people have gotten so unprofessional i don't care where i work i work for a lot of different places. I have a lot of horrible work experiences. Never complain about the company that I work for,
Starting point is 00:15:27 nor should you. Let's jump over to Wokeness in Media. We have this tweet from Nathan Grayson over the Washington Post who says he's a video game reporter. I suppose that means that he will provide us information reporting on video games. However, he tweeted, and before I get into it, Nathan, buddy, you made it. Congratulations. here's what you were hoping for you are now getting talked about he says shannon leo and i reached out to over 20 major video game companies about whether they intend to speak up in favor of reproductive rights or provide monetary aid to employees just a few said yes most said nothing at all this is literally the wendy's meme this is this is a wendy's sir yeah it's like this bro i just i would love to see
Starting point is 00:16:13 this guy like pull up to a wendy's and they're like i'm gonna take your order do you support reproductive rights sir this is a wendy's i'll take that as a no when you write it down they're not that far from that point like we're gonna see articles from journalists like i went to the wendy's on second street and they would not give a strong stance in favor of reproductive rights we should legit do this let's go to wendy's just for the purpose of being like do you support women's reproductive rights and the guy's gonna be like i'm 16 and I just make cheeseburgers. Excuse me. How does Super Mario feel about Roe v. Wade being overturned? He actually includes that comment in there. So he has this big Twitter thread.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And it's fascinating, too. Let me say something on the culture wars. This guy likes the fact that we're talking about it. He doesn't care about us. He doesn't care that he's not reporting. This is the future of what these media companies will be. The Washington Post has become Kotaku. This, you know, just gamer, gay, leftist, woke media. And it works for them. And they're going to get the people who care about it, the people who don't like right-wingers or whatever. And so
Starting point is 00:17:18 he doesn't care what we say about him. Like, do you think I care when they write about me or whatever? I ignore all of it. I don't care. People are chatting and smack-talk and i'm like i don't i can only read so much this guy doesn't care he's getting attention it's working for him and this is what the culture war has become so it goes on to mention that bungie says they're for it blah blah blah and then he starts talking about people are suddenly losing their minds over this piece so let me spell out the rationale behind it game companies were extremely vocal following George Floyd's murder. COVID-borne anti-Asian hate. Silence here is telling.
Starting point is 00:17:49 It suggests broader disingenuousness. I'm sorry. I started laughing while I was drinking. What a ridiculous thing. Firstly, to want these companies to comment on it in the first place. But secondary, does he think that these companies just became right-wing? Yes. They started becoming conservative. They're like, well, look, this is think that these companies just became right wing? Yes. They started becoming conservative. Like, well, look, this is one where we really are more conservative.
Starting point is 00:18:08 He quote tweeted Ben Shapiro, who said in which activists masquerading as journalists call up companies and ask why Taylor Swift's silence is so definite. This is L.O.L. L.O.L. He likes it. Yeah. He says, if Fox decides to do a segment on me, my one request is that they use this picture. And this is the point. This guy's not a reporter.
Starting point is 00:18:27 He is an activist. His reporting makes literally no sense. I mean, it's the Wendy's meme. Am I going to say, well, Wendy's once had an LGBTQ Twitter icon. They have not said anything about abortion. It's deafening. Like when they, everybody, all the companies were putting their profile pictures black for like after George Floyd. And then if a company wouldn't do that, everybody lost their minds.
Starting point is 00:18:53 But I feel like it's the same thing as Taylor Lorenz. It's bad, sort of like bad intention disguised as journalism where she was like oh uh the reason why i had to expose the lips of tiktok girl is because she could have been a russian asset okay well you found out she wasn't a russian asset and you still exposed her so it's like oh uh the reason why i'm doing this with the video games is because they did that and so they're always going to find an excuse to their bad journalism or activism or whatever, but it's like, shut up already. I mean, well,
Starting point is 00:19:28 can we be sure Sonic the Hedgehog isn't a Russian asset? You can't be sure. So if you look just to the right on Twitter, you have gaming trending. Blizzard announces
Starting point is 00:19:36 King's Diversity Space Tool, a measurement device to help identify how diverse a set of character traits are, which is planned to be released internally starting this summer.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Here's what's going to happen. Oh, gosh. It is meme come to life. The next AAA game that comes out, every character is going to be a trans, disabled, furry. Please, no. Yeah, it's going to happen. I noticed that a few new games where they,
Starting point is 00:20:02 when you pick your gender, instead of man or woman, now you can pick like type one, type two. Other things. In Elden Ring, it says like type A, type B or something. Like type one, type two,
Starting point is 00:20:10 like you're choosing your character's form of diabetes? No, no, I thought this was funny. I called them sexist. I tweeted about it. I was like, you know, Elden Ring is sexist
Starting point is 00:20:17 because the female body type is number two. What? It should have been type one and type A. Seriously, female. I mean, it's called male or female. Woman, you have man or woman. Seriously, female. I mean, it's called male or female.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Woman. You have man or woman. That proves it. Why do they have to add on extra letters to describe it? That reminds me of that JK Rowling stuff where she was always like, nobody asked her anything. And she was like, Dumbledore was gay. Dumbledore was gay. Yeah, that's that meme.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Why do I care that if sonic is having something with tails like stop it i don't i don't want to see i don't want to think about it so ian i will give you a uh linguistic lesson thank you woman comes from withman the original uh i think it's old english i'm not sure and it used to be males were wormen and so there were two distinct words wormen and and then due to i think what they said was the work role being masculine, men just started saying men instead of wormen because if they would say man
Starting point is 00:21:12 in reference to a human being in general, but only men were around, men just eventually became the default for male or whatever. The other night I was thinking, I think the word woman needs a new word because it may have... Women's a birthing person. No, something simple, one syllable like something that can compete with
Starting point is 00:21:30 men. Is it like an extra aberration of the word man? Like menstrual man, you know, just like a new word that sounds cool. Sounds metal. You know, that's crazy. Flip. Yeah, you're on. You're getting in the right space.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I see it everywhere. So I'm originally from Brazil. I lived there for 20 years of my life. So whenever people say Latinx, it hurts me a little bit. I get the eye twitch. twitch because yeah in in uh latin languages the male version is also the i guess unisex version of a word so whenever you're referring to somebody that you don't necessarily know their gender you would use the male form so it it it hurts me i'm sorry well i i understand that as a flib you may be more prone to fall.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Exactly. It's a problem. I understand. Well, and this is – it's not – is it like what? Did the left go into the Latino community and ask, do you guys want a new name? No, they just decided to name them because they think they have ownership over the entire group of people because that's what renaming someone or something means. It means you own them.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And they see them as political pawns, not as human beings, and they're political pawns who belong to them in their estimation. So that's why they get to decide what they're called. That's why everyone has to resist the term. This is why I said a year ago that the gender neutral pronoun for everyone is Florbo.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I like that. It's soft. It reminds me of Flubber with that Robin Williams. It was fun. Childhood memories. Nobody can complain about that. There's an O at the end. It's too masculine. It's too masculine. Florbics. Florbecks. I was looking up non-binary
Starting point is 00:23:16 in Spanish and it's no binaria, no binario. There's a binary way to say non-binary, of course. I like that. It's insane. I wish they would stop that but they don't so it's like we already have a word for that we already have a way of saying it why why don't you just ask us instead of pushing it like who came up with this well they they did they did they conducted studies they asked people they're like do you like the
Starting point is 00:23:43 term latinx latinx well they should ask women what they think of the word women because everyone They conducted studies and they asked people, they're like, do you like the term Latinx? Wimixin. Wimixin. Well, they should ask women what they think of the word Wimixin because everyone hates it. No one's going to use it. Nobody asked me any of that. Like there's polls and stuff like that. Everybody's like, oh, somebody, nobody asked, nobody ever called me and asked me, do you, do you want this?
Starting point is 00:24:03 Do you like it? I've never been asked about a pole listen you you need to understand that the um being a morbidly obese millennial woman with pink hair and the side of your head shaved grants you a kind of intelligence that you just know what's what's better for the oppressed people it's the color of the hair it makes kids want to listen to them because they like bright colors. Actually, maybe, yeah. Brainwashing. It is crazy how you see this stuff in schools
Starting point is 00:24:30 where it's like, they're like, what gender are you? And cisgender is black and white. And then it's like, you know, trans is a bunch of colors and it's like pride and rainbows. And they're like, if you want to be, fine. If you want to be the boring black and white color,
Starting point is 00:24:42 fine. By the way,'m going to bring something really fun up here uh that validates everything we're saying so fantastic but according to pew research 76 of latinos surveyed had never heard the term yes latinx uh of those who heard it in in totality so of the 100 percent of people who were asked if they had heard the term only three percent said that they used it 20 said they knew it and didn't use were asked if they had heard the term, only 3% said that they used it. 20% said they knew it and didn't use it. 76% said they never heard it.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Did they break it down between men and flibs? I can double check. I can double check on that. But it doesn't appear so. I believe they did break it down a little bit maybe in another poll where it showed that college-educated women were the only group that liked it and they used it. I was like, this is in no way surprising. College educated flib. Yeah, flib.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Sorry. Oh, you're right. Well, flib is the word lib, and you've got to be careful. We'll figure it out. Yes, female liberals. I heard Latinx. Flibia. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Flibia. I love that. Is it Latinx or Latinx? Who knows? Anyone know? Latinx sounds weird. Yeah, it does. Latinx is inks like, I don't know, like inking. That's what I thought. It does. It's like inks. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Like inking? That's what I thought. It reminds me of tink. Like tinkle. Tinkle? Yeah, tinkle-less. Latino. No, tinkle-ics.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I heard of it. If people demand you give them a special name that they demand to be called, just make up one that doesn't sound good. Yeah. I won't use the one that offends you, but I'll choose one for you. Bloaf. I'm so glad the First Amendment is free speech
Starting point is 00:26:09 because people make up words and they want me to start using their lexicon. I feel so bad for the Canadians, man, that Bill C-16 and then I think other bills have been passed that is like forcing people to use certain words so they don't offend other people. You ready for this? You don't prefer inks?
Starting point is 00:26:25 Inks? Not yet, but you can change my mind on that. You guys ready for this one? Yes. Sexual harassment investigation launched into three middle schoolers wrong use of pronouns. They were charged under Title IX according to the school, these three kids, because they refused to say they, them.
Starting point is 00:26:42 One kid actually stood up, He says, quote, she had been screaming at one of Brandon's friends to use proper pronouns, calling him a profanity. And his friend is very soft spoken and kind of just sunk down into his chair. Brayden finally came up defending him saying he doesn't have to use proper pronouns. It's his constitutional right to not use. You can't make him say things. So apparently these kids were in trouble. The mom found out this is in wisconsin they're saying that because the kids refuse to use the pronouns they're getting they're getting heavily heavily penalized we also know the fbi is investigating parents who are opposing this stuff um it was uh
Starting point is 00:27:15 uh who was it i'm forgetting who tweeted this i'm forgetting the guy's first name um mcintyre oh aaron aaron yeah sorry i forget your name dude he tweeted that that the soft power they use to bring the stuff into schools will become hard power this is what and i'm like it is hard power they are going to the kids they're screaming at them swearing at them and if the kid's like i'm not going to say it then they get charged so i don't know what that means when they said they were charging them. Apparently the news says an investigation, let me read. They filed a complaint against them. An investigation was launched. A title nine complaint was filed against them. So what does that mean? She says, I received a call from the principal letting me know that I was going to be
Starting point is 00:27:59 receiving an email with sexual harassment allegations against my son. She says the investigating said he's allegedly charged with sexual harassment for not using proper pronouns. So here's what I'm saying. Look, if anybody says this word is offensive and you have to use this word, I'll say that word's offensive to me. So how about I use this word, which is neither, and we'll call them blows. Blow. You're a blow. Also, keep in mind, these are the people. These are the people who are saying that groomer is a needlessly harsh term to describe adults insisting upon having secret sexual conversations with children. Then they turn around and say not using someone's pronoun is sexual harassment. Dude, these kids are national heroes that stood up to this.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I don't know what the situation is around, if there was a fight beforehand, if part of this is because there was violence involved. I really don't know the whole story. But you cannot bully people into using your language in this country. Well, apparently you can. You can try, but it's going to get national attention, and you're going to look like the bad guy for doing it. Do you guys ever hear of Spaghetti Gate?
Starting point is 00:29:01 No. They have language police in France. In France. I would say Canada. I'm pretty sure they do, but I meant Canada. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I meant to say French-speaking Canada. There you go. Correction.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Is that Québécois? So in, I think it was in Montreal. You have to have at all the stores, French is the big word, and then English is small. So they're like language police, make sure. And there was an Italian restaurant selling spaghetti, and they got fined because they were like you didn't put the french word and they were like spaghetti so like that they're the bad guys like when you're trying to tell people you can't you have to speak a certain way you have to use certain words you typically are it is frowned upon right yeah big time i don't know if it's like just me or if it seems like they're coming so hard after kids.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Like even with the video game stuff, it's like leave the kids alone. Why do you care? At this point, I'm like, don't make me tap the sign. People are like, why? Yeah. Why is it happening? It's like, don't make me tap the sign. It's like everything, just leave the kids alone leave the kids
Starting point is 00:30:06 alone remember that song that that told the parents to leave hey teachers leave those kids alone yeah good song do you remember that one song where they said we'll convert your children yeah yeah it was a san francisco choir yep gay men's choir i think it was and this is this is the golden rule of the left right or one of the rules. They will scoff at the idea that they're doing something, call you paranoid for thinking that they're doing something. And then a few years later they go, ha, I was doing it the whole time as if they're cheeky or edgy. And it's like, no, we knew that. We know what you're up to. We have. How many years ago? Is it five years now when Jordan Peterson, we came out about that bill? C-16. C-16.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Look what's happening here in the United States. I mean, people keep believing it's not going to get worse. And I'm saying to people, this is what I said a couple weeks ago. Would you rather have a job and your kid is with groomers for eight hours a day or be homeless with your kid? I mean, I'm not telling you which one is the right choice i don't have kids i'm saying like this is basically what's happening there are people like i can't speak up i can't do anything about it i'll lose my job my kids got to go to school otherwise i have no one to watch them it's like okay i hear you i mean the groomers have your kids and they're doing this to them but you know i think they should come up with a system of like neighborhood uh homeschooling moms where like you'd have somebody let's say uh within the
Starting point is 00:31:31 neighborhood there is one or two moms that chose to not work or to stay at home and then the kids around that neighborhood go to that uh mom's house and spend the day and learn like the mom's already homeschooling her kids. So one or two other students is not going to make a difference, but at the same time, it's going to make it easier for people to just have their kids homeschooled instead of sending them to school. Like I don't have kids, but I feel like if I do, I'm always so busy. And so I procrastinate a lot and you know all the video game and dragon ball but to be honest with you i i think i i have to make time to homeschool because i i just don't
Starting point is 00:32:12 see myself sending my kids to this place like come back all you know mommy um i found out i'm gay i'm like shut up joshua you're three oh I love this. Also, you don't want to play video games because they haven't commented on Roe v. Wade. So here's the important thing in this story. When the mother was asked, some say this could show Rabideau and her son are against the LGBTQ plus community. She said, not at all, not at all.
Starting point is 00:32:40 My children have been raised to love everybody equally. You know what I'd say? I'd say, I don't know about any of that, but if this is what they're doing, I guess. Apparently. But not a single – you had that Matt Walsh. Was it the Matt Walsh thing on Dr. Phil? Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:56 But they had this instance where this woman was like, we're not against the LGBT community. We're not at all. It's just our kids. It's like, dude, if that's what they're hiding behind and that's encompassed in it, then I guess. If they're grooming your kids, if they're screaming at your kids, if they're using law to go after your kids, and then someone says, do you oppose the community? I'd say, doing this? Yes. Yeah. Well, Joe Rogan came out about it.
Starting point is 00:33:22 I have a headline from the Daily Wire that says, Rogan blasts people upset about, quote, groomer term. Here's what's more important. Not having people groom your effing kids under the guise of I'm an LGBTQ educator. Good for him. So did you guys see the viral, Jenk Uger was trending earlier? Yeah. And I did a segment talking about it because I'm just like, I feel like it's bait. What Joe Rogan said was, there are groomers in schools.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You know, there're creepy weirdos. They beat it in front of kids. It happens all the time. You got kids being groomed. How many of them are hiding behind LGBTQ? So then Cenk Uygur goes, not a single person has ever, you know, beat off in front of kids and then said they were LGBTQ. So then no one got mad.
Starting point is 00:34:04 And I'm like, I don't recall Joe actually saying those things. So Jen did this performative outrage where he said something that never happened or Joe never claimed so that he could come out and go after him. And this is the problem. I think that's happening is people like Jen Cougar don't Google search these things. He didn't even look up because there's if you Google search teacher exposes and all that stuff, it's insane how many stories there are about teachers just doing these things to kids. It's nuts. And then I'm like, why would you say this? Do you want the world to be better? Do you want people to stop abusing kids? Let's take the LGBTQ thing and just put it aside for a minute. People abuse kids. Joe Rogan said people abuse kids. Why? Why act like that's
Starting point is 00:34:43 not happening? Seriously. Yeah. So everybody start posting pictures of horses, I guess. Yeah. So this is part of the problem. Let's say we could just completely separate these two issues out from abundantly clear is that if somebody is a sexual abuser, all they need to do is claim some kind of LGBTQ status and the left will do everything they can to make sure that story is ignored, not talked about. That reminds me of that transgender woman who went to a woman's prison. You guys see that?
Starting point is 00:35:24 And then she got, she or whatever, this person, Flip, got two women at the prison pregnant. Oh, right, right, right. I mean, look, I think the issue is
Starting point is 00:35:39 there is a cult that wants to push their religion on people. They're authoritarian about it. I don't care what your faith or ideology is so long as you are libertarian about it. You can talk about the things you like, but when it comes to the stuff with kids, adult activities with children, then it's just like, no, no, no, we don't do that here. And they're advocating for it. And then worse.
Starting point is 00:36:02 I'm sure I had somebody throughout my whole life, a teacher that was gay. Like, I don't care. They didn't tell me about it. I feel like the only thing that I actually liked about when teachers told the story about their lives was the fact that I was able to, you know, not pay attention. There's nothing going on. There's no class. I just do my own thing text my friends
Starting point is 00:36:25 but it's like to me it's it's not relevant for my education when you tell me about your wife your kids or your partner or whatever i just think that as a time of like okay now i get to goof off with my friends and blah blah blah like it's it's not necessary for a child to be educated for them to know that you went hiking with your gay partner like we're gonna have some a couple lefties on the show next week it's gonna be really really interesting because I think what happens is
Starting point is 00:36:53 you know we'll be like hey look here's a really bad story this book genderqueer has overtly adult activities described in it and images maybe that shouldn't be for kids and then all of these left-wing podcasters come out and they're like you're banning books you're banning books and i'm like okay when they're banning books based on the ideas i can understand that but they're like trying to remove sexual imagery why are you defending why are you defending these books
Starting point is 00:37:17 why is the washington post the new york times and all these left person i will i will love to talk to them about we should get a copy of those books too so we so we can show them in person. Oh, I want in person. Don't make me tap the sign. Because we can't show it on YouTube. Yeah, that's true. Well, let's talk about the change. Speaking of censorship, we got this story from Timcast. Elon Musk is still committed to Twitter purchase after announcing deal was on hold. Musk said he would defeat the spam bots or die trying, a cause for due diligence to discover the true daily active user numbers in the deal.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I'm going to give you the quick version. I think Elon Musk knew there was fraud. I believe Twitter, it's possible, has defrauded its shareholders. We know that they've lied. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We know they've published false user numbers on more than one occasion. They've apologized for it. Let me show you something interesting. If we go to Social Blade and look at little old me, we can see that on April 26th, I gained just about 20,000 followers. The next day, about 40,000. Next day, about 47,000. Gaining all of these followers, strange, right? At the same time, Barack Obama loses 300,000. At the same time, Katy Perry loses 200,000. Why are celebrities and left and progressives losing followers, but people on the libertarian
Starting point is 00:38:26 freedom, whatever, right side are gaining followers? I'll tell you what I think. Here's the dates. The 26th, 27th, 28th. The 29th was a Friday. Monday was the second. And what news broke on the second? Twitter estimates fake accounts comprise less than 5% of users.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Filing. On May 2nd. Here's what they say. In a filing on Monday, May 2nd. They say it was 5%. Here's my opinion after looking at all of this information. The week prior, they reinstated as many right-wing accounts as possible to create human users and banned as many bots as possible to reduce the number of bots so they could bring the number of bots per user way, way down.
Starting point is 00:39:09 I think Elon Musk knew they were doing that. I think he's forcing them to give him the data now that he's locked in this deal or lose a billion dollars. And if they give him the information on all these users, he can come out and be like, they defrauded me. They defrauded you and they defrauded all the shareholders. I think Twitter believes in a healthy conversation and they're trying to socially engineer this country and people who use Twitter around the world by making it seem like pro-America and libertarian values are not prominent and woke leftist ideas are. So they create fake accounts or someone does, and they ban counts that are pro-America. Then the switch, the flip happens. We watched it happen.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Then they released their report on their bots. Elon's going to get that data because they have to reveal it to him. And then we'll see what happens. Yeah. I'm curious what his next step would be after that. Is this just something that he does to expose them or does he try to come in and alter the price? Maybe Twitter blows up. Maybe it just is gone. I mean, I don't know that this is true, right? What I'm saying is if you look at the fact that leftist lost followers, libertarian, right, MAGA, whatever you want to call it, gained followers, that's algorithmic. People have tried claiming the left is leaving and the right is joining.
Starting point is 00:40:24 No, no, that's that's that's algorithmic people have tried claiming the left is leaving and the right's joining no no that's ridiculous because if you look at the data as i pointed out the last time we talked about it on monday the day they announced the deal was happening no one joined twitter they're lying that's not true the data does not suggest that the data suggests twitter made weird algorithmic changes and then the next week Monday, they issued their filing on bot accounts. Clearly, they were manipulating the numbers. Scandal. It's a scandal. Elon got them. I agree with you, actually.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I think what you said is mostly true, I would say if I was NewsGuard. I don't know that he knew there were bots. Politifact. Thank you. I don't know that he knew that there were bots. I think he highly... He thought that there were. He had a good feeling, a hunch. I'll tell you that he knew that there were bots. I think he highly – he thought that there were. He had a good feeling, a hunch. I'll tell you my greater theory.
Starting point is 00:41:09 One day, Elon Musk is on Twitter. And he's like, I really like this Babylon Bee. I'm going to tweet at them. And then he does. And then all of a sudden, it goes, new notification. And he looks, and it's himself trying to convince himself to engage in a crypto scam. Because you ever see those – First thing he thought of was time travel. And he's like, it hasn't been invented yet. He's like, could I have come back from the future to sell Bitcoin to engage in a crypto scam because you ever see those first thing he thought of was time travel and he's like hasn't been invented yet he's like could i have come back
Starting point is 00:41:28 from the future to sell bitcoin to myself yes but let me check and then he like does some math and he's like this is a bot and then he probably complained and they did nothing so there's a really famous uh like botting scam where elon musk bots will tweet at people to get them to give crypto and scam them. Oh, I've seen that. Elon probably was like, this is me. Stop. And he says, okay, I'm going to get rid of this stuff. So I think he knows something was going on. I also think Elon probably saw the manipulation with sock puppet accounts. A sock puppet account is when one person runs multiple accounts. I'm willing to bet the left runs tons of sock puppet accounts where one activist will have 20 accounts and they'll spam you to make it seem like everyone is dogpiling you and hates you. You'll say something and then you'll get 50 responses with like, you're ugly, you're gross,
Starting point is 00:42:15 you're stupid, you're lame to try and trick you and force you to changing your opinion. Then Twitter bans people on the right so no one can come to your aid. I think that's what's happening. That's my opinion on what's happening. So you're saying that I'm not ugly, stupid, and lame? That's right. It turns out no. But no, you're not.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I'm the exception. It's a form of grooming. What they do is when 30 people tell you, hey, man, concern trolling. I'm a big fan, but I think you're not right on this one. You should change your opinion. And then the only thing you see is people saying you're wrong about it. Weaker-minded people might be like, okay, I better change my position on this. They call it algorithmic.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I don't know if I said that right. I tried. I had to write it down first. You know, I noticed something when I was in college, which is that when I got people who were really outwardly left-leaning alone and had conversations with them where we weren't with other students, they would generally say things that you would not expect a left-winger to say. So maybe I'd run into them somewhere outside of school or we would just be chatting outside of class. And whenever current events came up, they would almost inevitably say something about any given issue that would basically get someone screamed at by any other left-winger for not being left-wing enough. And they'd even say things like, yeah, no, I'm going to be honest. I do think the left has kind of gone off the deep end in certain ways. And part of me wondered if that was because
Starting point is 00:43:44 they were being insincere about their values because they were surrounded by other left-wing people. Part of me also wondered if that was because they understood or got the vibe that they were talking to a more conservative person and they're just social chameleons who need to fit in with whoever they're having a conversation with. I don't know. But in my experience, it's funny in my experience people uh are yeah even left-wing people are not as far to the left when they're not in a group it's like as soon as they get around other people they're mau uh but when they're by themselves they're they're like they turn into dave rubin i think they're scared they're like they're being groomed with like the language and
Starting point is 00:44:23 everything that you see like the media so they're scared of like not going all the way because if not then what would they side with they will side with um the mega king the the ultra mega the fascist the the the kkk so it's like they feel like they have to constantly move farther to the left to be able to match that, even though it may not match it, what they think, but it's like for the bigger cause, because if they don't do it, if they don't stay together, if they don't stay united, then, you know, big bad orange guy is going to be back in the White House and then everybody is going to be put in camps or something. So they have to stick together.
Starting point is 00:45:06 And to me, you know, that that's it's like zombies. Yeah. Yeah. And it is a fallacy to think that in order to not be part of group A, you have to join another group. You don't have to join a group. Absolutely. The funniest thing I love a lot is when these lefties will post on Twitter, they'll be like,
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm not in a brainwashed cult like you are. And it's like, they're the group that voted in lockstep to fund the war in Ukraine. And then the other side of this is former liberals, traditional liberals, conservatives. You've got the far right, you know, laissez-faire capitalist types. You've got libertarian centrists. Like there's this big eclectic group of people who all disagree with each other, who are sitting in rooms and having conversations you're all in the room all patting each other on the back saying they're the cult i went on facebook a couple nights ago i've got a very interesting social media array because i uh most of my facebook friends from 2007-8-9 when i
Starting point is 00:45:56 was in la as an actor very liberal now most of my twitter followers are people to watch this show so it's more or less conservative i don't want to put you in a box guys you're whatever you want to be but when i go on on twitter or on facebook they're they're like pro-choice when it comes to the abortion thing. And they're like, they think, oh, that's just what they think. And it's the same kind of crap when we're on the show and we're talking about them, whatever, whenever it comes up about they. It's the same terminology and the same weird that the people don't even know who they are. They're just using this term. Except we're right.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Of course. We always think we are, don't we? No, but we are. Well, everyone thinks they're the good guy, man. You gotta be careful about categorizing other people. The data has repeatedly shown that moderates and conservatives consume media from the left and know the left-wing argument, but the left doesn't do the other. I think there are instances in history where the Nazis were a radical leftist organization, I've heard, and they were indoctrinating kids. And the people that stood against that turned out to be on the right side of history. It is possible that – and I think a lot of – when it comes to objective morality, a lot of what we're talking about is real.
Starting point is 00:46:55 It's important to protect the children. Let me clarify this point as to why we're right and they're not. You have, as I mentioned, traditional liberals, people like, you know, me. I used I voted for Obama in 08 and I was from the city. And now I'm like, hey, man, I don't like this woke stuff. I want free speech. You have devout Catholics like Seamus, very pro-life conservative. And we disagree on a lot of those elements, but we agree on so much more when it comes to what's reality, what's true. You have journalists like Matt Taibbi, a liberal outright who's like, yeah, this Ukraine You have journalists like Matt Taibbi, a liberal outright, who's like, yeah, this Ukraine stuff with Joe Biden is messed up. You have Glenn Greenwald, a progressive. You
Starting point is 00:47:30 have Jimmy Dore. How is it that all of these people from actual economic far left to laissez-faire capitalist anarchists or people like people like Luke Rutkowski all can can can come together and agree and point at the left and say they're wrong. As I mentioned, when you look at that voting block for Ukraine war funding and every single Democrat is voting yes on one of the largest war packages ever and the Republicans are all in disagreement. I'm like something is wrong when the anti-war progressive leftists like AOC and the squad are voting in lockstep for war.
Starting point is 00:48:03 They are a cult. Yeah, it's the liberal economic order. And let me tell you, Ian, you say they say the same thing about us. I completely agree with similar terminology. It's identical. Pretty much. It's hard to tell who I thought they were talking about. They like what we were last night. I'm like, oh, my God, except we're right. You know why? Covington, Jussie Smollett, Russiagate, Ukrainegate, Ghost of Kiev, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd. The list goes on. Military industrial complex has controlled the media.
Starting point is 00:48:29 And if you don't know that, then you're getting sucked up into it. I don't even know if it's that. You know, I don't know what's going on. I think Twitter was playing weird manipulation engineering games. The fact is, I remember I had this moment in, you know, 2018. And I'm thinking, you know, I watch these left wing presenters and they're saying the exact same thing. And then I'm like, but that's weird.
Starting point is 00:48:49 They're wrong about the Covington kids. Well, that's weird. Bill Maher, a week after the story was debunked, comes out and still maintains the lie. Well, that's weird. Russiagate was debunked and they're still saying it was true. They called Rand Paul a Russian agent again. It's just the lies, the misinformation, the manipulation. They set up a disinformation czar, this woman who's published repeated false information,
Starting point is 00:49:11 and she wants the right to control the flow of information. So I'm sorry. If you've got an eclectic bunch of people with all differing worldviews and differing political opinions, but we can see what's true and what's not, you have another side that believes every single lie every time i guess why i brought it up and i didn't know this when i did is because what you're saying sham is people when they're in that group they do become radicalized but when they're alone and you communicate with them people aren't so crazy like people kind of get together and can
Starting point is 00:49:35 understand so like that's why i'm reticent to say they because when that person is over here they're we and and it's you know they get it it's more it's the funniest thing is man when i was arguing on facebook with some people and i said it's the weirdest thing if michael malice points this out a lot if you disagree with anything that is part of their tribe they immediately assume you're a trump supporting far-right maga cult or whatever and it's like i've actually commented on people's posts agreeing with them and they'll immediately say it's it's the it's like, I've actually commented on people's posts agreeing with them. And they'll immediately say, it's the joke. Someone's like, I like pancakes. And I'll be like, you know, the interesting thing about pancakes is they have a lot of
Starting point is 00:50:11 carbs. And so you're a waffle person. Waffles are about. I never said I liked waffles, dude. So when I comment on someone's post about pro-life, they'll make a point about conservatives. And I'll say, I don't think that's the actual conservative argument. The response I get is you want to control women's bodies and put them in chains. And I'm like, I don't want to do any of that.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I don't understand. It's a cult, bro. Are there ultra MAGA Trump cultists? Of course. Do they have any institutional power? No. Are they relatively large in number? Not really.
Starting point is 00:50:45 So what we'll see with the left is they'll take very basic concepts, which legitimately are binary, such as sex, and they'll try to break it up into a million different gradients and say it exists on a spectrum when it doesn't. Then when it comes to politics, they'll basically say it's binary. Either you're with us or you're some far right Trump supporter. You're also a Nazi. There's no room for any kind of gradient there. On their own side, they sort of try to get into some nuance because they'll claim that someone like Bernie Sanders is really a moderate, and so we have this very vast spectrum on our own side of the aisle,
Starting point is 00:51:17 even though they're really only catering to like 10% of the population in totality when you're looking at progressives. They were manufacturing public support. I think that it's sort of like something that there's a third component to this, which is you have the right and you have the left, but you also have the globalists, which they owe alliance to neither the left nor the right. So they sort of like co-opted the liberal and the progressive movement
Starting point is 00:51:45 and everything that they do is according to the globalist agenda. Like they want, you know, no borders, they want no this, no that. They want to sort of like, you know, everything, everything, the global supply chain, whatever it is, more trade with China, whatever. And a lot of these things that they have been pushing is not something that the left would have wanted even five, two, three years ago, or even two months ago. But they feel that they have to keep pushing it because they have to meet the globalist sort of like end goal.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And hopefully leftists and liberals and classic liberals, they're going to start realizing that, like, stop it. They're using you. Stop it. I think they will. The economy is going to force people to evolve. Classic liberals are already out because classic liberal is a right-wing position. Traditional liberals were social liberals.
Starting point is 00:52:41 So they were like center-left. And there's like a little bit of a difference. But's like you know they're both centrist i think these people uh on the left aren't feeling like they have to lock it walk in lockstep with like the davos group or anything it's zombies you know like we were mentioning the young turks they just make they make stuff up they lie all the time maybe it's inept in, ineptitude. Maybe they're just like, this will get clicks. I mean, if you look at their videos, the thumbs down are crazy, like 50%, 60%. How do you view those still? Because I don't have access.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Oh, cool. I can't rationalize it. I can't understand. To me, I'm thinking they're being brainwashed. The globalists at the top are pushing propaganda in media and brainwashing these people because i can't rationalize how you would you know like these things for kids how you would you know uh come after kids like that like to me if if you were to put me in a time machine like 10 years ago and you show me that i'll be ready to you you know, start a revolution. And I'm not even, you know, so it's to me, it's like.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Go ahead. No, no, no, no, no, no. Continue. Continue. I'm sorry. Just wanted to. It's sort of like how how quickly the needle is moving and it's it's just out of control. So I have to find like a way to rationalize this behavior, like why they're doing this.
Starting point is 00:54:06 And I don't know. I don't have that answer yet. I think you're onto it, though. I think it's a global agenda. I mean, you look at how much stuff Vanguard owns and the bank of international settlements, Klaus Schwab. Like they're being brainwashed by the media. Definitely by the liberal media.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I don't like using that word liberal. I don't want to give that power to that word because it is postmodernist. I'm trying to understand. I'm not an expert at postmodernism, but it's the idea that you'd say,
Starting point is 00:54:30 I'm a human. I'd be like, no, I'm actually an embodiment of cells. They're like, no, I'm actually an energy field.
Starting point is 00:54:35 You're describing yourself. I'm none of them. Yeah, I went through that. I'm like out of the cult now. I was in LA as the actor getting ready to be
Starting point is 00:54:43 the next big thing. It was disgusting. And then they were all over me. Sexually, it was so gross.A. as the actor getting ready to be the next big thing. It was disgusting. And then they were all over me sexually. It was so gross. And Jordan Peterson has talked a lot about postmodernism. He points the finger at it. It's a confusing idea, which is why it hasn't caught as much hot traction as it needs to. And it's a social movement that started in the mid-19th century, basically.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah, I just wanted to issue a small correction to myself earlier. I described them as 10% of the population. According to Pew Research, they're 6%. But even that figure isn't perfect because as I'm looking at how they define it, when they talk about the progressive left, they say 88% of people on the progressive left say that greater social acceptance of people who are transgender is a good thing for the U.S. I mean, for only 88% of them to be saying that,
Starting point is 00:55:22 the type of progressive leftist we're talking about would say that. 88. Yeah. 88% of people who would be, who would fall into this progressive left category, which they say makes up 6% of the public. 12% terms. Yeah. And so that's what I'm saying. So this progressive left group, this is a very small group of people because of that 6% of the public, only 88% of them, this group defined as progressive left, say that more transgender acceptance is good for society. Whereas my understanding is the progressive left, as we're talking about, would say anyone who answered that question is anything other than yes, is not a progressive. In fact, they're far right. Let me pull up this story. This one's funny. We got it from Business Insider.iden used the term ultra maga after six months of research
Starting point is 00:56:07 now republicans have put it on t-shirts they can't meme that's like during 2015 and 16 there was a subreddit called the left can't meme and it i mean it's just reality the left could not meme so they banned all of the big pop prominent you know meme channels instagram had a huge purge and then along popped up these really generic left-wing meme channels and it was just so obvious that's astroturfed this is what happens when they try ultra maga and now they're selling t-shirts with it because it's hilarious here's my favorite biden calls trump the great maga king why did he think anyone would be upset about that that's amazing yeah i put that on my on my twitter as my twitter uh name the great maga king yeah joe joe biden is you know he's he's leading a rally where he's trying to get people to hate
Starting point is 00:56:59 the right and he goes these these right wingers these really cool awesome nice people everywhere they're just like the coolest guys ever. And I think they shouldn't be in office. But they're really smart and great. Those ultra-MAGA, that MAGA kick is like, everything that the light touches, we're going to build a wall around it. Building a wall around everything. The hyenas are not sending their best. When it comes to a culture war, if you want to call it this thing, culture war, you can't – if you use your opponent's language, you've lost.
Starting point is 00:57:24 So that's what biden just did i think i think you're right in many ways so what the conservatives have been doing for years which has been extremely painful is they've been trying to use left-wing terminology against the left and they've been trying to cede territory to them so they'll say things like the left are the real homophobes for example now groomer that we have been using the term groomer which is effective and accurate the left has been starting to say no no, actually the right are the real groomers. And I'm sitting there going, you've lost. There's already been several blogs where they say, actually, grooming is a good thing.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Some of them, yes. Some of them are saying it's a good thing. Some of them are saying the right are the real groomers. But they're basically accepting the narrative regardless. I saw James Lindsay posted this. I think it was James Lindsay. He was like, as soon as you get the the term they try and take it from you and now they're like if you mean grooming my child to be a good person and loving and accepting then i stand guilty as charged and it's like okay you're a
Starting point is 00:58:14 groomer okay groomer like getting them to use this language is is doing two things in some instances such as the ones you've mentioned they're showing their true hand they. They're saying, oh, actually, it's a good thing. We are in favor of it. In another instance, they're denying it. But by denying it, they are reinforcing culturally that it is, in fact, a bad thing. And for so long, the right has been doing that with the left's terminology. Oh, I'm not homophobic. Oh, I'm not transphobic.
Starting point is 00:58:40 The left are the real transphobes. But the left are the real racists. That's true. When you look at the early progressive movement, yeah, absolutely. I mean, even until this day, yeah. But when you look at the ideological roots of the progressive movement, yes, absolutely. I just go all the way back. We've talked about Margaret Sanger.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I'll break it down. Are there people associated with the right, whatever that means, who are racist? Yes. In fact, there are many. Are they the majority? No. Do they have a lot of power in government? Not really. When that one guy, was it Steve King, said, what's wrong with white nationalism? They booted off all the assignments and then he got primary and he's gone now. On the left, are they racist? Yes, they overtly advocate for racial segregation. In California, they tried to repeal their civil rights provision from their constitution. They tried to repeal the non-discrimination provision from their own constitution.
Starting point is 00:59:31 It's like, dude, that is the rule, not the exception. On the right, it's the exception, not the rule. And I think the main reason is that moderate individuals, two to one, have aligned more with Republicans. Simply, you look at Elon Musk's meme, because the left has gone off the rails. So we all stay in the same place, traditional liberals. But it's like, if I got to choose between those crazy people who want to kill babies in nine months and those guys who are like, hey, don't kill babies, I'm going to go with
Starting point is 00:59:58 the hey, don't kill babies. Absolutely. And I would actually be curious to see if someone could do some sort of detailed statistical analysis on exactly how many maniacs there really are within our society who would say something like children should transition their gender. I mean, if the progressive left, according to Pew Research, is only 6% of the general public, and even those people, as they've defined progressive left, don't really perfectly fit in with that category, how many people actually believe in something like transitioning children, giving sex changes to children, pushing them along through that process? And we also see this as something that is being parroted by even the president of the United States. And to your point, the reason people are following along with it is because in many cases they're cowardly. There are
Starting point is 01:00:38 a lot of people who won't stand up and say that's a disgusting horrible thing to do uh because they're afraid of the social ramifications oh and it's also they're they're the people that are around would lambast them if they did it i noticed with me and you will have talks about religion and catholicism you know i'm pretty critical but if we have other catholic guests on and i say that everyone comes at me and it's like almost like i feel bad like as a human like my i get stressed and like my genetics are like you're not going to be as healthy now because of this stress. So there's an incentive not to speak out against a group. I noticed when I was 13 or 12 or 13, this, what do they call it?
Starting point is 01:01:17 Affirmative action. And I realized I was like 13, 1992. Wait, you mean if I do better than a guy who's black for a job interview, they'll give it to him because they need to fill a quota? That's reverse racism. And then as I got older, I realized, oh, that's just racism. But then I started to think about class issues and it's a whole other nuanced conversation in there. But man, did it feel bad to hear that I wouldn't get the job because of my skin color? Yeah. Whenever I'm'm applying for jobs i get to click a whole bunch of like little you know tick marks i'm a woman i'm a immigrant i'm latin american i'm this and that
Starting point is 01:01:52 i'm like i got pretty good chances to get this job now because i'll look at how many boxes i clicked i like how these the leftists are like everybody line up according to the color of your skin and size of your boobs yeah it's like's like, that's creepy, dude. I wanted to bring up real quick. There is a tweet that went viral from this account called Jack Califano. And it said, the groomer and pedophile thing are the clearest moment where I've thought, oh, wow, they're really planning on killing a lot of people eventually. So they're like, the left is saying that if you're pushing the groomer and pedophile thing is because you're trying to. And so this tweet has 61.2 likes as of this time.
Starting point is 01:02:35 61.2? K. Thousand. Thousand. Sorry. This is extreme dehumanizing language designed to prepare the right-wing fascists to feel no remorse over genocidal acts of violence um they live in that world yeah and the issue is what what what do you
Starting point is 01:02:53 think happens when you actually have these people who are going into little girls bathrooms and taking pictures of them and then like i mean we're going to come to the point where someone's going to punch someone you can't say nothing about it you can't call them groomers because now you're a pictures of them and then like i mean we're going to come to the point where someone's going to punch someone you can't say nothing about it you can't call them groomers because now you're a genocidal a maniac that wants like it has nothing to do with it it has nothing but it doesn't matter like we talked about that video game guy from the washington post who's like you know i hope they use this picture of me they literally don't care what any of us think they're saying this for themselves doesn't matter and i don't want your apology either. No, there's nothing you can say
Starting point is 01:03:28 to them. That's why, you know, there's a tendency for the left not to interact with the right in any way. They don't care what you think. They're lying. They're not interested in telling the truth. And if you go to them and say, I'd like to correct the record, they say, shut up. So going back to what you were saying before, Ian, where you're like, they say that we're lying and, you know, the left and the right, when prominent left-wing personalities take clips from this show out of context and then put them up like they did to you. I think Media Matters did that. They didn't take, when you were talking about the N-word, they didn't take the full context into what you were saying.
Starting point is 01:04:03 They just tried to make it seem like you were racist. When you go to them and say, hey, I'd like to show you what actually happened to say we don't care. We don't. They don't care. They're not going to correct it. They'll they'll on Twitter. They'll put up a fake story.
Starting point is 01:04:16 They love it. They just don't care. They're you know what I think it is. Children, they're immature. They did not. They did not reach adulthood. Millennials are a stunted, narcissistic generation. think it is children they're immature they did not they did not reach adulthood millennials are a stunted narcissistic generation certainly there are many millennials more so like you know i don't
Starting point is 01:04:31 know are you a millennial how old are you um undisclosed we're going to the break now yeah when this millennial began what year i don't know it's like 82 or something yeah yeah i'm 94 so okay i'm still millennial yeah But I identify as Gen Z. Yeah, there you go. So there are millennials who are like responsible adults. Of course, I'm not saying every single millennial. But what we see, I think, with the left is why are they so cult-like and zombie-like? Because they never grew up.
Starting point is 01:04:59 They have no strong mind for living and being responsible for themselves. One of the things I noticed about – I would like to see the numbers of how wealthy people are. If you want to break – you guys know I'm not into breaking people into categories for the most part, but I will for the sake of communication, the left and the right. How wealthy are the people on the left relative to the people on the right? Because I tend to find that the richer – The wealthier people get, except for the ones at the very top manipulating the game. The more wealthy an individual gets, the more conservative they get because they're happy with the status quo. But if you don't have money, you start to freak out and become revolutionary.
Starting point is 01:05:32 I'm not sure. I mean, I think that at this point, and I couldn't speak to any specific statistic here other than one, which doesn't perfectly map on, but basically that you're more likely to support intervening on behalf of Ukraine if you have a higher net worth or make more money, something along those lines. But my point is I think that the progressive, especially when you're dealing with the real progressive left, we're talking to people with all the bizarre theories about gender, I would venture to guess that they are much wealthier as a group. You don't meet working class people who believe that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:02 It started in 2012. The Democrats overtook the Republicans as the party of the top 4% of income earners. I can only assume it's increased since then. But isn't it interesting? That's like the switch when things started getting weird. Things started changing. Occupy Wall Street. And then all of a sudden you have post-liberals now voting with Republicans.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Why? Well, the Republicans were like, we're going to bring jobs back to the Midwest and to Michigan. And the Democrats were like, free trade with China. What's that saying that I forgot who says it, but a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality. So it's like they live in their own little world. And that's one of the biggest things that I try to, you know, talk in relation to my activism and my commentary. Is that there's a lot of, like, bad, bad situation that will come from those policies. I mean, we're seeing it now. And we're going to see more and more of that. And I feel like a lot of this is sort of like comes from a
Starting point is 01:07:06 place of you're spoiled. You don't know what those policies are actually going to bring to America, how they're actually going to pan out. I'm telling you, it's not going to turn out that way. And if you do keep going down this road, you're going to get wrecked. I don't want you to get wrecked. Let's not do that. Let's not do this to the country. And then they're like, oh, but it's gonna be different. We're gonna wait until like, like with socialism. They think that if the government amasses all this power and all this money, then it's gonna be different this time. They're gonna have a better guy. They're gonna have a nicer guy. Okay, but if you're going to still have democracy, then later, four years from now, what if a bad guy comes in and uses all that money and all that power to his own evil intents?
Starting point is 01:07:53 Like, you don't think about the consequences of all these policies that you're pushing and how badly they can affect other people because you're not going to be the first ones to be affected by that. Like you're not the people who are living, you know, people in Texas, they're living by the border. They're seeing all of that. They're seeing the violence in the communities. They're seeing the human trafficking. You're not going to be affected by that because you live in New York. You're not the woman that's being human trafficked. You're not the woman that's being used as a mule. So it's easy for you to push these policies when you're not affected woman that's being human trafficked. You're not the woman that's being used as a mule. So it's easy for you to push these policies when you're not affected by it directly. So I feel like it sort of like comes from a place of wealth
Starting point is 01:08:33 and a place of entitlement because as they go through reality and they actually, they get mugged by reality, they tend to become a little bit more conservative. But there is an extent of how things can really, really get bad. And I don't wish that upon America. I wish we would wake up before that. But I don't know if I will. You were speaking from experience.
Starting point is 01:09:04 You came from Brazil. You said at the beginning of the show. What kind of things did you see there that made you so sensitive to it? So, I mean, everything. Everything that you think about. For example, you talk about health care. But it's sort of like all of it is in theory. But it's not really.
Starting point is 01:09:22 It doesn't consider the practice of like, let's say human corruption or all the other different things that could add. Like in theory, everything is perfect, of course. But let's say you amass all this power, all this money. You take it away from me, the individual, and you give it to the government. And then what if somebody comes into the government who's not a good person? Like, you're not considering that. You're not considering the corruption.
Starting point is 01:09:47 You're not considering the waste. You're not considering all these different things. So violence, corruption, even when they say free healthcare, like, yeah, I have free healthcare. I didn't like it. I mean, I didn't like it. I had to stand around the block on a
Starting point is 01:10:08 queue that by the time you get to the door of the hospital, you're dead. So it's sort of like, there is another option. There is another way. It's not just completely not have health care or have government-sponsored health care because you're going to have so much corruption. Like, imagine what we're seeing right now with Pfizer and all of that. Like, if you charge me, you guys tell me to shut up if I'm talking too much, but like, if I go to the hospital and you tell me I have to pay $300, I'm okay. I'm looking at the receipt because I work for those $300, so I want to make sure what I'm paying. Now, if that bill never touches my hand, it goes directly to the government. The insurance is billing it or the companies are billing it directly to the government.
Starting point is 01:11:01 The government is not going to look at all of that one by one. It's going to inflate the prices. It's going to create a huge mess in the system, a huge corrupt mess in the system. So why can't, instead of doing that, why can't we consider affordable healthcare? Because healthcare is not affordable right now. We have these companies lobbying in bed with the government. That's the actual definition of fascism. But we're not ready for that conversation. We want to be polarized. I think we're ready.
Starting point is 01:11:30 I want to pull up this story I just grabbed from the Examiner to answer some questions for all of you. Democrats of the party of the wealthy IRS data shows Democrats represented 65% of taxpayers with a household income of $500,000 or more in 2020. 74% of taxpayers in Republican districts have a household income of less than $100,000. I think I know why. Because according to the data, being a Democrat is a great way to save on charity. Oh, yeah. I think that they donate less than Republicans do. Oh, it might also be not accounting for the extremes
Starting point is 01:12:05 like the top one percent probably are democrats and that's that's absolutely yeah and they're like 80 worth 80 billion so that's skewing these numbers hard like your average if they remove the top 10 percent and the bottom 10 percent of wealth what's the democrat and republican but but i think the interesting thing is that was probably more true 20 years ago when the Republicans were led by industrialists. But Republicans have overwhelmingly been rural and rural people tend to have lower incomes than city people. So that's just me making assumptions. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'd imagine people who live in rural West Virginia are likely going to make much less money than someone who lives in New York City on average.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Someone in New York City is going to be a Democrat. Someone in New York City is going to be a Democrat. Someone in rural West Virginia is going to be a Republican. And then there's a gradient effect where you get closer to the cities, you become more and more Democrat, but you also make more and more money. The interesting thing is people used to say the Republicans, you become Republican when you get rich. But now something's changed. Well, I was thinking you get more conservative when you're rich. But Donald Trump's not conservative. He's a very liberal guy that became ran for the Republican Party.
Starting point is 01:13:08 So he brought a bunch of really liberal people with tax cuts, huge tax, classically liberal people. Well, also, you made a point which sort of touched on this earlier. But generally, you have to be pretty removed from reality to support a lot of these progressive left wing ideas, especially when you're talking about the social theories, not necessarily all the economic policies. And when you get into this stuff about being gender-fluid, for example, this is an upper-middle-class phenomenon. I mean, at least all of the people who popularize the ideas, these are not things that the working class is all that concerned with, the idea of being a man who was born in a woman's body.
Starting point is 01:13:44 A lot of their arguments are like that like they're the the the actual percentage of people who suffer from gender dysphoria as a psychological condition is very very small so same thing with the the abortion uh uh debate that they were having they were oh, what about if a woman gets raped or whatever, incest, that literally accounts for the smallest percentage. And you're making a whole argument over that little thing.
Starting point is 01:14:16 And it's just like... You just say, okay. Okay. When they say, we need an exemption for rape or the health of the mother, I'm like, all right, I agree. Let's pull up the data. Okay, 2%'ve, okay. When they say we need an exemption for a rape or the health of the mother, I'm like, all right, I agree. Let's pull up the data. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:27 2% of abortions. We'll keep those 2%. We'll ban the other 98. There you go. And they're like, wait, what? No. No. No.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Well, what do you mean? No. I agreed with you. See, that's the issue. You agree with them. They don't know what they're talking about. It's just tribal nonsense. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:39 It's kind of like feeding trolls on social media when someone's response to you really negatively. And if you respond to that, then more people are like, oh, that's what gets attention. I'll do what gets attention. And if people are screaming with blue hair about their gender being wrong, and then all of a sudden they start to get attention and it's like, look at these crazy people screaming with blue hair. Like, that's what gets attention.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Okay, I'll do it too. So like, that's why I don't want to make a big deal. I try not to make too big a deal out of it and get angry about it because it just feeds the fire. We maybe need to look into how the millennial as a generation, how they're, like you mentioned, they're weak-minded. But also I feel like a lot of people are being put on antidepressants. They're being put on medication. They're being sort of like wrapped into this bubble of this is where you're safe. This is where you should be.
Starting point is 01:15:28 And this is and sort of like none of that actually has meaning to you. Like they're told not to, that having a family, that, you know, being a housewife, being traditional, etc. That's all. But those are some of the things that bring the most joy to people because they're able to – so it's like you're taking away the identities of people so that there's something that can be easily manipulated. Didn't someone say – someone brought this up before, that there's not enough souls for as many people as there are alive today or something like that?
Starting point is 01:16:00 Who was talking about that? I don't remember. That was awesome. Do you remember that, Seamus? I don't remember. I disagree, but I can't remember. You were having a conversation where you guys, and that's sort of how
Starting point is 01:16:08 you were explaining it. Someone said that somebody wrote, some religious figure, wrote that there weren't enough souls for as many humans there are. Could have been Posobik,
Starting point is 01:16:18 maybe. Yeah, maybe. I don't think Posobik. It was somebody awesome. That doesn't sound like something Posobik would say. Maybe Daily Wire people. Because we were talking
Starting point is 01:16:24 about solipsism and non-player NPCs and all that stuff. And I think it really just feels like when you – as we were mentioning earlier, this eclectic group of people of varying different political ideologies who are discussing the facts. It seems like that's the case because there is an entity there that is actually engaging with you. But if you're talking to an AI, they would just say whatever they were programmed to say as if there's no one really there. That's the NPC meme. I think it's less about not having a soul, but more about pharmaceutical drugs. You brought it up, man. And this is like a piece of the puzzle that's kind of a question mark because the companies are great. The pharmaceutical companies are keeping these numbers quiet. Like Pfizer didn't even want to dump their data for 75 years.
Starting point is 01:17:10 And how many people that are having problems wondering about their gender are on some sort of pharmaceutical? Those things can drive people insane. And if you're under 25 years old, your brain isn't fully developed and you go on a, well, they're like, oh, it's just, it's just Adderall. Adderall is methamphetamine. Yeah. I think it's four different amphetamine salts. It's incredible. One might be a meth, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Yeah, there's a meth. As far as I know, Adderall has some sort of meth. It's like... It's amphetamines. Yeah, it's like I feel like there's a level of the being that struggles there and not a lot of people want to understand
Starting point is 01:17:44 what is actually being struggled with. So these people just lash out. But like, for example, with my experiences after my mother was, you know, politically persecuted, she was an attorney for the conservative party at the time. They lost the election to the liberals, etc., blah, blah, blah. We went into a period of homelessness. We went into a period of homelessness. We went
Starting point is 01:18:05 into a period of living through very extreme conditions in the most violent and poor part of Brazil. So I grew up to be this extreme, this extremely sort of like, as I was a kid, I was sort of soft and kind and nice. But as I grew up in this reality, it changed me. So I went to a doctor. And instead of seeing that as, you know, this is who she is, this is what life made of her, this is, you know, her personality, she just assumed that I was sort of depressed and anxious and started prescribing me a whole bunch of medicine. So of course, I'm like, I'm going to take this because why not, right? It's part of my personality. I'm like, self-destructive, let's go, let's do this. Why not? And so then I discovered
Starting point is 01:18:58 that it has a huge half-life and that you can't just get out of it because if you get out of it you you have all sorts of so the ease the how easy it was for her to instead of trying to understand who i am or how i feel or why i am the way that i am she just prescribed me a whole bunch of stuff and said let's try it out and i find myself like taking five pills a day like I'm an old lady with all the different pills. What is this? What's the purpose of this? Adderall is a trade name, a combination of four salts of amphetamine.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Okay, so I'm not sure if there's a meth in there. I seem to have remembered seeing one at some point. There's different types of... Dextroamphetamine and levomphetamine and enantiomers. So I will eat that and say, maybe I
Starting point is 01:19:53 misspoke when I said there's methamphetamine. Yeah, me too. It's amphetamine. I thought there was methamphetamine. There's meth and there's amphetamine. There's two different types of ADHD. It's dextroamphetamine. They have the ritalin and concerta and i know that because i was prescribed all that it has the meth part of it and then the adderall has the which is to me is very scary i i was prescribed and i saw the bottle and it said amphetamine salts and i'm'm like, what is this? Like, this doesn't look right.
Starting point is 01:20:30 And imagine like how many kids are just taking all this. Like, to me, it doesn't make any sense. I think it was out of 46,000 people that the Pfizer study looked into, 42,000 had some sort of adverse reaction. So that's 91.3%. That was a voluntary reporting thing. So we did a big discussion about that because even someone who worked for TimCast published the fake data.
Starting point is 01:20:51 I got really angry about that. On methamphetamines? No, no, on the Pfizer data that got released. Basically what happens is a bunch of people who started sharing fake news claiming it was coming from the Pfizer data. And so then somehow someone at TimCast saw it, put it on the site. Then so then somehow someone at Timcast saw it,
Starting point is 01:21:05 put it on the site. Then I was like, put the sources in it, but the sources weren't put in it. I got really, really angry. We took it down, issued a correction, all that stuff. And basically what happened is Pfizer offered up a voluntary reporting period where anyone could report if they had an adverse event. And then of adverse events that were voluntarily reported so the data does nothing for anybody it proves nothing it explains nothing it's like i i i yelled out into the wind you know have you ever got stung by a bee and a thousand people said yes and i'm like that doesn't so out of what group but like where there's meaningless data but a lot of people are sharing these memes claiming it's true and i'm just like it's so frustrating man
Starting point is 01:21:44 yeah i would not we need there's there's so much data there that we need people to actually start going through and reading the problem is the people who want to do it don't know how to interpret the data so then they screen grab these charts and they're like look at this and then you go and read the page before it and it's like the following data is is is an example of what a trial might look like and it's like not even real like in. Like in the 80,000 pages, if data has been omitted, how would anyone even know? Because the data is not there to begin with. Or if a number was different,
Starting point is 01:22:09 how would anyone even know? But do we have people that are actually willing? Because for you to do that, I feel like you have to have sort of like, it has to be your job for you to sit down and go through 80,000 pages. You have to get paid for it. And so there has to be someone willing to pay
Starting point is 01:22:25 you to do that job now. And you have to be, uh, you have to understand the basis for clinical trials and what these words mean. Otherwise people are just being like, one thing that happened, there's a meme going around where they're saying the efficacy of the vaccine was really low. And I'm like, that's just bad math. Cause if you actually just look at the math from the Pfizer data, so the efficacy was 98% or something like that. But there's another one where they're like mortality was was 3%. And that's one that befuddled one of our reports I got mad about. And that was of voluntary adverse event reports that went to Pfizer within a two month period, 3% of the reports they received were for fatalities that may have been related to the
Starting point is 01:23:06 vaccine however that in the clinical trial it was 0.01 so the actual clinical trial was microscopic and then when it was like six out of 46 000 people or something like that suffered some kind of uh event a fatal event that may have been related. We aren't sure. And so it's like, even that, it's like, you can not trust them by all means, but there's nothing definitive in that data to say someone died because of it. And then people took the voluntary reporting system. I'll put it this way. If somebody got vaccinated and then, you know, a week later they died. The family, of course, is likely to report that. But why did they die? We don't know. And so with voluntary reporting data, we have no control
Starting point is 01:23:52 group. We don't know how large the sample size is. We don't know what these people died of. None of that. The same thing is true for the various stuff that's getting reported. I'm like, it should definitely be investigated. I think, you know, any anomalous number needs to be heavily investigated. We don't have that right any anomalous number needs to be heavily investigated. We don't have that right now. And so you basically have one side, which is the establishment dismissing all of it outright, which is psychotic. Then you have a middle ground of people being like, can we please just like get someone to look into why all these reports came out? And then you have another side that's claiming it's the apocalypse.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Yeah, but it's like that's I think that that's the biggest thing for why it shouldn't have been mandated at the executive level because we don't have the information right now. We don't have the – even study groups and different types of studies can have some level of bias. So it's sort of like it takes different studies. It takes different conditions. It takes different environments. It takes different conditions. It takes different environments. It takes, like, how are we going to know the long-term effects of this if the time hasn't passed? So we don't have that information. So that's why it's sort of like everybody is sort of guessing at this point what actually is going to happen based on this study or that study.
Starting point is 01:25:02 But the reality is it shouldn't have been mandated in the first place because we just don't know. I don't think any medication should be mandated. There's some arguments about, there's a libertarian argument a private business can do what they want. I think scale is the issue. You can't, if some people can't get a medication, it can't be mandated. I just think for the most part, mandates are just, just wrong. Maybe you're talking vaccines for a country where there's well-documented evidence of it functioning to prevent people
Starting point is 01:25:33 from getting malaria or dengue fever or something then. Yeah. But I'm open to that conversation. But if you can inoculate yourself, why should someone else be forced to? It's tough because I don't hurt immunity right there that's the argument i don't know man i think you're right on the money dude it's hopped down medicine doesn't seem to work the evidence shows that you have people with massive amounts of adverse reactions which is why they're working on 3d printing medicine that can they can be tailored for your body you know your own chemistry and then you can produce your own version of it ew like like it's it's to me it yeah but it sort of me, it, yeah,
Starting point is 01:26:05 but it's sort of like makes it a more natural thing to be taking something versus what happened to going outside in the sun
Starting point is 01:26:16 and, and getting some, you know, exposure and getting some exercise and moving. Like I had this, I,
Starting point is 01:26:22 I sit a lot because I'm always writing and whatnot and then the doctor is like oh you're 28 so you probably have early onset arthritis let me give you all these medicines like what um goodbye i do not have arthritis um it's like it's sort of like, I read it on the internet, of course, WebMD, uh, that I was either pregnant or dying. Uh, no, not really. But like, uh, I read on WebMD that it's a common thing for people who do a lot of desk job, like, like writing to get, uh, one side of their hip, uh, to have a little bit of a, uh, a pain on it because it's sort of like an inflammation, right?
Starting point is 01:27:06 Like you'd have it if you, whatever. So it's not arthritis. And I'm not taking all the medicine that he prescribed me. I think the answer is obviously just to only eat lamb. There you go. Eat nothing. Apparently, Michaela Peterson might agree with you. I think hypochondria is a massive problem With people in this world
Starting point is 01:27:25 I think Munchausen syndrome by proxy Is a big problem Where they're like ah my arm hurts Let me look online what is wrong with me Oh and then they look at five things That's one I'm going to start thinking And then they think about it Do I have this thing
Starting point is 01:27:39 And they're like dude your arm hurt Massage your arm cut back on the sugar I'm not giving medical advice here, but take care of yourself. If something hurts, fix it. Do something. Change your posture so your back doesn't hurt. You don't have to go to get a prescription for it off the bat. Come on.
Starting point is 01:27:54 No matter what you look up on WebMD, it says you have cancer. That's right. Or pregnancy. It's funny. It's like, you know, my wrist has been hurting, and it's like things that may be happening. Tendonitis. Cancer. And I'm like, I don't think it's cancer, but okay.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I guess cancer can cause everything. Okay. I like that we're talking about pharmaceutical industry because this is part of this whole gender experience that I think people are going through, that they are medicating children from maybe, I don't know how old, three years old, six years old. What is the earliest you can give a kid a psychoactive pharmaceutical? I think they're like seven or between seven and nine years old? I think they're like seven between seven and nine years old I think they're doing. Maybe what we need is
Starting point is 01:28:30 pharmacies should just be like libraries like public libraries where anyone of any age can walk in and just take any drug off the shelf and walk out with it. As long as you bring it back. It's a library, Tim. It's going to be overdue. Yeah, exactly. No, you just take it to look at it.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Public dispensaries. And then you bring it back later. No checks. One of the arguments that they're saying about transiting their kids is that if you put them on puberty blockers, it's not going to do anything to harm them. But yes, it is. All we're doing, we're not transitioning the kid. We're just putting them on puberty blockers.
Starting point is 01:29:06 Then they say, define harm. Their bone density doesn't change. And it's like, but through puberty, your bone density strengthens. But nothing changes. It's supposed to change. It's a good thing for it to change. You just deprive them of going through an extremely instrumental and important bodily process. It's called opportunity cost.

Starting point is 01:30:31 The good news is that means they're giving me their money, supporting me having a conversation around it. So there you go. I loved it when Michael Bloomberg dumped 500 million, I think it was. And everyone's like, I get nothing but Bloomberg ads on your channel. I'm like, well, he's lining my pockets with gold, I guess. Funding this operation. I know you were funded by Big Bloomberg.
Starting point is 01:30:50 There you go. Big Bloomberg. Earl Graham says, love the show, Tim. How much are you willing to bet Twitter suddenly gets hit with a cyber attack and loses all of its info Elon is looking into? I would not be surprised. Yeah, I've been waiting for that to happen, actually. I'm surprised it hasn't yet.
Starting point is 01:31:02 Twitter just goes down for a week. Oh, no. Oh, geez. Can't buy it now. I wonder if last night YouTube going out was a cyber attack. I keep thinking about cyber attacks in this era. Can you read this? I can't read this.
Starting point is 01:31:15 This is in Portuguese. Oh. Okay. I can't read that because I am blind. Oh, okay. That's a problem. And you shouldn't if they're saying something. Are they saying anything offensive?
Starting point is 01:31:30 Can I see that? You can scoot over. Oh, I mean, you can just get up and walk over and look at it. Yeah, yeah. Come look at it. So someone sent Portuguese. Portuguese? Which I do not speak.
Starting point is 01:31:44 Nice. Beautiful. But Julia speaks Portuguese. Portuguese. Which I do not speak. Nice. Beautiful. But Julia speaks Portuguese. Can you see it? She's reading. Como se dice? I speak Portuguese.
Starting point is 01:31:58 In Portuguese. Is it not Portuguese? It is, right? Yeah, it's Portuguese. But I don't know what Sopa de macaco is oh well then i guess well we tried oh okay i think that's just offensive i was hoping it was going to be some kind of offensive thing that's like we got to read that now we just don't know

I haven't used a straight edge razor in like 20 years. Missed opportunity. Maybe once. I'm very curious what that soup was. He was like, you got to get her to say something about soup.
Starting point is 01:32:38 I don't know if it, because we have C's that have the little, you know, ding-a-ling thing. I don't know. You got to explain. You got to get another super chat going. Are you a big fan of soup? Yeah, actually, I love soup. Yeah, there you go. That's it. TWX Rated says Netflix totally went 360. Shareholders
Starting point is 01:32:55 are not happy about losing profit due to the garbage woke ideology. All Netflix should care about is treating employees with respect, making good content, and turning a profit for investors. But going a 360 means they went back to where they started. 180 might have been the number you were looking for. Unless you're on a half pipe, because then
Starting point is 01:33:12 you do land fakey if you go up and do a 360. So that's what he meant. Certainly. That's right. He's speaking about vert, not street. Stronger than stones. They don't really want to defend big mouth, but isn't it protected under the first amendment as gross as it is at least it's adult actors acting and not children like cuties oh you know for sure that's why i'm like it's disgusting and i don't like it but i never
Starting point is 01:33:37 like rallied and made videos where i was like ah when cuties happened i then was like and also look what they're doing with big mouth i think you got a bunch of diddlers working at Netflix. I don't use the First Amendment argument for stuff like that. But I think that innuendo is an important tool. So you got to speak up if you see people using it. Society needs to police itself. It's not the job of the government to do that. Like, society needs to come up and say sorry for interrupting you but like i feel like a
Starting point is 01:34:06 lot of these things were outsourcing to the government when we could just have society police itself and like when you do something like that you're gonna be ostracized you're gonna be there's gonna be social consequences for doing that even if it is protected under the first amendment it's terrible it's immoral so. So it's, it's like, like if you were talking about like the, the social consequences for saying that you're into Nazism or whatever, like you can't just say that because you know, you're going to lose your job.
Starting point is 01:34:36 You're going to, so there are no social consequences for a lot of the stuff that the left puts forth. So, so this is a good one. King of Diamond says, a person once called me a Filipinx and I cringed so hard and found it insulting.
Starting point is 01:34:51 Filipinx. What? Can we not? Wow. I agree X is the coolest letter, but come on. Come on, man. Pedro says,
Starting point is 01:35:00 Tim, ask Julia, Bolsonaro 2022 or not? Yes. Oh, there you go. Simple answer. What do you think people in Brazil... Do you think it's like Trump? Like a lot of people really do like him.
Starting point is 01:35:11 Brazil-ks. The media... Brazil-ks, by the way. It's like the media... In Brazil, it's like the media lying about him and all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:20 It's very similar. Very similar. Oh, yeah. Brazilian Trump. Man, I thought he was so evil when I first heard of him because of the media. Right. Bolsonaro? Someone plunged a machete, like, right, like, into his, like, gut.
Starting point is 01:35:31 That was crazy. Yeah. Crazy, man. Brazil's massive, by the way. It's massive. Mostly rainforest? No, actually, the area that I'm from is sort of like a desert type of, is by the equator. So if you go to the left, everybody asks me like, oh, you're from Brazil, so you're from Rio?
Starting point is 01:35:51 No. São Paulo? No. Amazonia? No. So I'm like literally as far away removed from those places as can be. But yeah, no. Most of the country is sort of like tropical forest, but not really like rainforest.
Starting point is 01:36:12 How many people live in Sao Paulo? A bunch. A bunch. Quite a few. I think Sao Paulo is one of the biggest cities in the world. It's like insanely massive. Millions, yeah. But more than just... You want to look it up?
Starting point is 01:36:23 Because I'm pretty sure it's like ridiculously large. Rio is cool. Coconuts for a dollar. Millions, yeah. Whoa. But more than just... You want to look it up? Because I'm pretty sure it's like ridiculously large. Mm-hmm. Well, Rio's cool. Coconuts for a dollar? 12th most populous on Earth. Oh, okay, 12th. Wow. Most populous in Brazil.
Starting point is 01:36:33 Yeah, I was hanging out in Rio. It was great. You sit there and then they come with a coconut and they break it open for you. Oh, you've been? Oh, yeah, yeah, several times. That's right. I had to get my Brazilian visa. I was in Peru.
Starting point is 01:36:43 You should go to my area next time. It's the Northeast. My visa's still good for a couple years. There you go. What's it called? Etrasco? Is that where they come with the meat and they slice it onto your plate?
Starting point is 01:36:54 Etrasco. Yeah? That was so cool. Looks like there's 12.4 million and then in the macro metropolis, there's 33.6 million. I thought it was 33. Yeah, massive.
Starting point is 01:37:04 That's crazy. I think New York is like in the macro, it's like 12 or something. I thought it was 33. Yeah, massive. That's crazy. I think New York is like in the macro, it's like 12 or something. I thought it was 18. Is it? I think so, but I'd have to look it up again. JN says, in the book of Revelation, the Antichrist will be someone who will change the established time and seasons. The spirit of Antichrist is active right now, acting against everything that is God's, hint,
Starting point is 01:37:23 hint. The spirit will manifest into a real person. God bless y'all. Is that true, Seamus? I don't know. I need to double check that. You don't know? I know.
Starting point is 01:37:31 I don't have the entire Bible memorized. It's very embarrassing. Please don't. But just don't tell anyone. Haven't you ever seen the Book of Eli? Yes. Yes, I have seen the Book of Eli. You should be able to recite from memory every passage.
Starting point is 01:37:44 That book is, that movie was amazing. It was genuinely a good film. New York is $ to recite from memory every passage. That movie was amazing. It was genuinely a good film. New York is 20 million in the macro metro. Wow. 18.8 in the main city. Was that before the COVID and everybody started working from home? I think that there's less people. I don't know what year this is.
Starting point is 01:37:59 I would imagine it's the most recent census data. I don't know. Cody Jones says, the mass brainwashing was to be achieved in two ways, the transformation of the school curriculum and the creation of bodies one gender. I think it's like, it's infantilization, right?
Starting point is 01:38:21 They don't want people to mature into adulthood. And so we're seeing that culturally and we're literally seeing it with puberty blockers. And yes, psychedelics, psychoactive pharmaceuticals. Because if you can't cry and be upset and wonder what's wrong with you as a kid, you're never going to become an adult. You've got to suffer, man. It's part of growing up. I feel like they try to isolate you.
Starting point is 01:38:38 So there's a thousand different categories that you fit into, and you can never relate to your neighbor anymore because you're like, oh, I'm a woman. Okay, so now I'm isolated from 50% of the population. I have to celebrate the fact that I'm a woman. I have to do this. I have to do that. Okay, now I am a woman of color. I am a woman of this. And so they put you in a box that by the time they're done, it's only you in that box.
Starting point is 01:39:02 You don't relate to your neighbor. There's no sense of a community anymore you're just stuck in this one box where everybody's sort of like out to get you everybody's sort of conflicting against your interest and to me it's just like a way of making people not only weaker in the mind but also uh preying on these people you know it'd be cool would be cooler though if it was really happening is that you guys ever see that tom cruise movie oblivion uh part of it yeah part of it where it's basically spoiler alert it's an old movie there's like a giant tetrahedron in outer space and ted ted tom cruise thinks that he's like
Starting point is 01:39:43 helping migrate off the earth but what really happened is that aliens destroyed the planet and then cloned a whole bunch of astronauts to use as foot soldiers on the ground to like steal all the water and use it for fusion energy. Whoa that's awesome. Yeah cool movie. Like the stormtroopers
Starting point is 01:39:59 that sort of like I feel like. Clowns. Yeah. It'd be cool if you know like aliens had invaded oh you guys ever watched Stargate SG-1 nope no I've seen a couple episodes but I've never
Starting point is 01:40:11 really went deep on the series there's this planet that secretly gets taken over by the bad guys and they don't know but they were like technologically advanced and so the bad guys
Starting point is 01:40:19 are basically running the planet I don't know that's just an idea like you know we're being conquered and destroyed by aliens interdimensional how cool would that be?
Starting point is 01:40:26 Interdimensional. They're not coming from above. They're coming from within. That's right. Thanks. That's good. What if that really... You know what would be really funny?
Starting point is 01:40:33 So like we have the Alex Jones was right jar. But what if like the final moments, you know, the great... The climax of this story of whatever happens
Starting point is 01:40:41 is like a portal opens up and the international beings come out and the Earth has come out and the earth has been like prepared for them and then all of a sudden everyone was like they they dropped to their knees and they're like alex jones was right like everyone's screaming and the clouds part you see alex's face in the sky and then no no no hold on i got a better one with us the whole 200 years in the future it's like humanity has defeated the demons of the interdimensional beings and there's
Starting point is 01:41:05 like alex jones high and it's like you know there's a 50 bill with alex on it yes and they're like like a prophet he's like the founding father who knew the interdimensional beings are coming to turn people into cow hybrids with the 5g or whatever and then there'll be the alex jones day alex jones day yes it's like you know where are you from oh i'm from um chicago alex jones statues ever. There'll be the Alex Jones day. Alex Jones day? Yes. It's like, you know, where are you from? Oh, I'm from Chicago, Alex Jones. Yeah. Chicago, Alex Jones.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Alex Jones. Rename the state to Alex Jones. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's read some more Super Chats. Joseph says, I'm thinking about your perspective when you say walking into the woods is freedom.
Starting point is 01:41:42 Also, when you say people don't understand the cycle of life, growing fruit for a start, that happened to you. When we were little, when I was in school, they made us grow beans. Did you guys ever do that? Everybody got potting soil, and then the seeds,
Starting point is 01:41:56 and everybody had to water their plant, and it would grow. And then we were like, oh, and then we got to eat it. Yeah. I was like, look. And then we went home, and we cooked it,
Starting point is 01:42:01 and we ate it. It was fun. That's important stuff. That's my growing stuff, stuff too in the early days. And then we had, you know, I think we had a fruit tree in the backyard. We had a cherry tree or something. But I'm like somewhat allergic to cherries, so I couldn't. It might have been if you're eating them raw.
Starting point is 01:42:15 They have like tannins, I think, on the skin. Yeah, I can't do it. But if I cook them, I can. Yeah, they do. Yeah, but when. Just keep saying like prepare for the end of the world by planting your own stuff. I tried to plant some stuff last winter, and then I was too far. I tried to plant some stuff last winter.
Starting point is 01:42:33 You can move the microphone. Yeah. Yeah. And then it turns out, I tried to eat it. It turns out it was a terrible, terrible weed. Oh, no. The stuff that I planted never actually took. And, yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:47 You ate a weed instead? Just look up before you pick something from the ground. I couldn't imagine eating wheat. Wheat? Yeah. It's dry. When I look at things that are growing, and we grew pumpkins and zucchinis and carrots and tomatoes, I'm like, look at this amazing bounty. And then I see fields of wheat, and I'm like, who thought one day, like, I'm going to eat that.
Starting point is 01:43:09 I guess you're hungry. You're going to eat it. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. They used to do barley, I think. They still do. What do you mean? Yeah, I actually just ordered some barley extract, some barley powder.
Starting point is 01:43:19 There's cereal made of it. Okay. But the Romans. I meant the Romans used to. All right. Zeke Rackin says, last night, Members Only was interesting. Seamus, I'm glad you kept your composure yet firm. Have you read Chariots of the Gods?
Starting point is 01:43:29 Ian, have you read that book as well? I have not. Have you read that? I've heard of it. It's what Ancient Aliens is based on. Oh. Yesterday was funny because Will... So here's what happens.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Will Chamberlain was the guest for the show. Will got wrecked in the after show. Yeah, he didn't really represent himself very well. We label the members only shows based on the guests from that night so people can correlate. Yeah, but Will had to leave because he's with his family. And so I was like, well, what do I call this members video
Starting point is 01:43:56 to correlate with the episode? I goes, I will call it the Will Chamberlain. Okay. And so I just took a screenshot of an empty chair and put Will is invisible and doesn't talk the entire time. So like to make a joke about it. Someone was like, you missed the opportunity to put fishing line on the mic and then pull it really hard when he got up and smacked it. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:44:11 Yeah. If we had fishing line, I suppose. Sean St. George says, when I was in school and a manager, I was told that if someone calls asking for recommendations on former employees to confirm they did work there and that was it. Saying Moore could open the company up to liability.
Starting point is 01:44:26 That is true. You can't say bad things. Ex-employer can't say bad things? If you're trying to get a recommendation, some advice. Oh, okay. Don't ask them anything personal. Say, did Ian Crossland work for this company? Yes.
Starting point is 01:44:40 Would you hire him again? No. Thank you very much. Have a nice day. There you go. Because then they're not saying anything bad about you. It's just their, you know, would they hire you or not? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:50 You can get in big trouble if you defame people like that, I guess. But I would not. That's what you say. The Connolly says they should change the law and let women get their tubes tied at any age. So they won't be worried about having kids. If you want to stop a pregnancy, you shouldn't be a mom. I mean, I think there's an issue of if one group of people is continually sterilizing
Starting point is 01:45:12 or aborting their children and trying not to have kids, and another side is like, don't abort your children and sterilize them and let's have a bunch of kids, it seems like the future is going to be a bunch of religious conservatives. Yeah, and I will also say, when I was 21,
Starting point is 01:45:28 I went to the doctor and I was like, will you please tie my tubes? I don't want to have children. This world seems terrible and I helped raise my four younger children. And she said, no, you're too young. And my goodness, am I glad she said no. That was her opinion or was that legal? That was her opinion. A lot of doctors will tell you the same thing and it turns out they're right.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Is it reversible? Tying your tubes, I don't believe is. It's not like a vasectomy. Okay. Yeah. Aurelio, how do you- And by the way, even a vasectomy is not always reversible every time either. Yeah, not always.
Starting point is 01:45:53 Yeah. Aurelio says, Tim, you need to make an Ultra Maga t-shirt with a Transformer Autobot that looks like Donald Trump. No, no, no. Magatron. Magatron, yeah. Magatron. I like it.
Starting point is 01:46:03 A bunch of people already posted that meme, so make Magatron. Magatron, yeah. Magatron. I like it. A bunch of people already posted that meme. So, you know, make Magatron shirts. Ultra Maga. Da-da. Sideways2013 says, how do you feel about the vein on Snickers bars?
Starting point is 01:46:16 I have no idea what that is. Oh, like on the top of the bar, that little like thing that runs along it that looks like a vein. I saw some meme joke or something where they were like, bring it back.
Starting point is 01:46:23 They got rid of it and they made it smooth. Freaked out. Was that true or something or what? I, bring it back. They got rid of it and made it smooth. Was that true or something or what? I think they made it. I assume Seamus didn't know because he was following the M&M thing. We did a cartoon about the M&M thing. Yeah, you guys should definitely check that out. Tucker Carlson and the M&M.
Starting point is 01:46:37 Bernie Sanders. She's my waifu. How dare they change that M&M? I'm so angry. What I liked about this vein on the Milky Way was that you knew it was a Milky Way if you looked at it from above. That was, I thought, cool. So it kind of branded the bar by doing that little thing that Butterfingers didn't have. Can I just mention?
Starting point is 01:46:53 Stay away from it. Aren't candy bars psychotic? I mean, it's basically like a huge drug. It's just a big packet of drug. It's just insane. It's like sugar barely occurs in nature. We've hyper-concentrated it, made several different forms, smeared it with chocolate, and it's this massive wad of sugar, sugar, and sugar.
Starting point is 01:47:14 It's just like small minds are afraid of progress. That's right. I just think like we have like a box of chocolates downstairs or something, and you open it, and there's like one little chocolate. I'm like, that's cool. And you can eat it and you're like, that's good. Or you'll get like a chocolate bar and you'll break off a tiny piece. But then there's like a Snickers in a milky way, which is just, are you seriously going to eat that? Maybe like take a cut of it. Like fun size. It's funny. The amount of sugar, chocolate, caramel, and other whatever is in candy bars. If you actually cut it up, it would be like a full
Starting point is 01:47:44 box of chocolates. Imagine going to the be like a full box of chocolates. Imagine going to the store and buying a box of chocolates and sitting there just eating it all in one sitting. I don't have to imagine because I've done it in the past. I ate a bag of Kit Kats and then a bag of chocolate eggs all in one night and I broke out on this open rash like over my pancreas or something. It was like, yo, take your life into your own hands, man. Halloween's funny.
Starting point is 01:48:03 Yeah, they just give kids poison. I mean, I'm going to call it poison tongue-in tongue and cheek but they i think they should be regulating it like they do the tobacco industry and not be selling it to kids with cartoons and stuff yeah like on the cigarettes how they used to have pictures of people who are all disfigured they just have to have like pictures of really really fat kids on the candy so they won't buy it rotting out rotting teeth and oh my goodness then the dental industry comes in and makes a fortune on it it's all. It is insane how much sugar and also how much sugar is in the general food. Like the fact that diabetes has become so common. Yeah, that's something that I noticed when I moved here to the U.S.
Starting point is 01:48:32 It's like everything, there's sugar, even in the meat and barbecue sauce. Like people are putting barbecue sauce. And I'm like, this is just sugar meat. Like that's so weird. You ever go to Panda Express? No. It's amazing they take wads of chicken roll it in bread fry it in oil smear sugar syrup all over it hey and then they give you a bowl of rice don't
Starting point is 01:48:54 knock pan express it's like i think it actually is like what 2 000 calories and ian's looking at me like it's grimace that was my grimace oh. Pandas. It's really good. Good is a strange word. Get a small scoop. It's a treat. See, the problem is that Americans think that everything needs to be a treat. Everything needs to be a dessert. Everything does not need to be a treat. No. Low carbs. You know what I've
Starting point is 01:49:17 been eating lately? Good point. I take an egg. I take some walnut flour and some almond flour. I stir it up, microwave it, and it turns into a biscuit. Put some egg, cheese, and bacon on it. Boom. Done. All good.
Starting point is 01:49:29 And some mayonnaise. Lydia, I think that's a really good point. We expect every single meal we eat to be very enjoyable and pleasing. I mean, historically, people were eating the foods that they could get. It's such a luxury to enjoy something you actually enjoy or to eat something you actually enjoy the taste of every single meal. We take it for granted. When I lived in LA and I was dirt poor, I would go to this local Mexican market and I'd have like a dollar 50 and I could get a pack of tortillas for like 80 cents. Then I could get like six
Starting point is 01:50:02 tomatoes for like 30 cents. And then I would take the tortillas, put them on the stove and crisp them and put tomatoes on it. And it was so delicious. Yeah, tomatoes. It was just so, corn tortillas.
Starting point is 01:50:13 And then every so often, I take a dollar and I'd buy something from Hardee's or Carl's Jr., whichever one's in Los Angeles. And that was, my point is, simple things taste so good when you're hungry and you need food.
Starting point is 01:50:28 And for Americans, our portions are so big that it's like things stop tasting good. And I was talking about we had someone here. I think Mary should make cookies or something. And then I was like, make keto ones with no sugar and almond flour or whatever. And she's like, ew, why? And I'm like, when you stop eating sugar, everything starts tasting better. It's true. Because like your, your, your senses get dulled to it. Yeah. It takes about 10 days. And then man, a carrot starts to taste, you know, when a carrot is sweet that you've got the right sugar balance in your body for the most part, you don't have too much
Starting point is 01:50:56 in your body. Here's how you make a milkshake. You take cold brew, some heavy cream and ice, and you blend it. Boom. It tastes like a chocolate milkshake. It's so good. Yeah. No sugar at all. Cold brew coffee with some peanut butter powder and honey. And it was like, whoa. Even that, too.
Starting point is 01:51:12 I'm like, I cut out most sugars, but I'll do a little bit of honey every so often, and it doesn't mess me up. The bread, really, it was like, if I eat any kind of bread, it's like someone punched me in the face. It's brutal. Can I come clean here on the show? Is this life? Can I come clean?
Starting point is 01:51:27 You eat bread. I actually don't know what's in a Snickers bar or a Milky Way. Keep it that way. Same thing. One's got peanuts. One doesn't. There you go. Okay.
Starting point is 01:51:43 Caramel. Never had that. Nougat, it's called. You've never had either? Caramel and nougat. Because that's not like an embarrassing thing. That's got peanuts. One doesn't. There you go. Okay. Caramel. Never had that. Nougat, it's called. You've never had either? Because that's not like an embarrassing thing. That's actually ideal. Yes. No.
Starting point is 01:51:50 Keep it that way. Yeah. Caramel, nougat, like a wafer, and then it's smothered. No, there's no wafer in it. What's that? Nougat. Kit Kat? Oh, that's nougat?
Starting point is 01:51:58 The cracker thing that's in there? Cracker? Yeah. There's like a layer of... Yeah, you're talking about Twix? Or Kit Kat. I thought there was an American way. Milky Way is nougat and caramel, chocolate.
Starting point is 01:52:07 Peanuts. Snickers has peanuts. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I always liked Whatchamacallits. You ever have one of those? Yeah. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Zero bars. Those are good. Yeah, good stuff. Fifth Avenue? Oh, candy bars. Dude. It's crazy that millennials have basically cut off the bad food. Like soda sales are in the gutter because millennials don't want to drink soda.
Starting point is 01:52:26 Is that true? I think soda is disgusting. Yeah. Like legit, if someone was like, would you like to drink a Pepsi? I'd be like, that's disgusting. It tastes like drinking syrup. 50 grams of sugar.
Starting point is 01:52:36 Pepsi, yeah. You know what I do? A shot of lemon juice and club soda. That's good stuff. Lemon soda. I feel like the balance the balance between pepsi and and coca-cola is just that coca-cola uses a lot more acid or something to cut down on the on the the sweetness because pepsi tastes sweeter but like coke doesn't but like if you let it sit a
Starting point is 01:53:00 little bit and all the the fizzly goes away, then it tastes just as sweet. But here goes. When I make it to 100,000 followers, I will eat a Snickers bar. Don't ruin your life. Don't do that to yourself.
Starting point is 01:53:20 You don't need to. That's what you want. Next on my 600-pound life. Deep-fried Snickers. That is a thing. Deep-fried in what? There is nothing that this country is too ashamed to deep-fry. Dude, you can go to a carnival, and they will take a Milky Way, batter it, and deep-fry it for you.
Starting point is 01:53:37 It is so good. I'm using the word good again. I don't know what it means. It is so delicious. It is pure evil. Oh, but soda's disgusting? No, no, no. Hold on. Yes. Listen. Seamus, you'd agree. again i don't know what it is so delicious it is pure oh oh it's so disgusting hold on yes yeah listen seamus you'd agree a deep fried milky way is sin incarnate i mean look i wouldn't go that
Starting point is 01:53:53 far probably not good for you i mean like i'm not gonna recommend people eat it what about selling stuff that's not good for kids to kids is that sin no that's a good question i mean if that's we'd have to look at the specific thing. We'd have to think about like how seriously bad it is. Because like, is one candy bar every once in a while going to destroy somebody? No. But I think there is an argument to be made. I don't have like a specific prescription here.
Starting point is 01:54:19 My point was just that the content of a candy bar to me is kind of crazy because they're huge. Like a Lindor truffle. What do rich people eat? They're like, give me a small truffle. It's like this tiny little ball of chocolate. You get a box of fancy chocolates. I'm telling you, like a Milky Way would be like eating a whole box of chocolates. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:54:35 Yeah, I think about that with beer too. One beer is too much alcohol. You need like half or a third of that will get you to the right spot if you drink the alcohol. Look at his lightweight. Disagree. Seriously. I mean, if you don't have any of that alcohol. Disagree. The Irish guy disagreed. That's the minimum
Starting point is 01:54:50 dose is that much. Let me read some more superchips. We got Tyler who said, I'm a chemist. Adderall is one methyl group different than meth. Anyone takes Adderall knows why people are addicted to meth. Similar effects from each. That's what I've heard. Good to know. Now we're talking. We need more doctors on the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:06 Let's talk chemicals. Alicia. I'm not good enough for you? You're the best. Adderall is one molecule off of meth is what I've heard. Also, I dated a girl on Zoloft and she desperately wanted to get off of it. Doctors never told her that weaning off is almost impossible.
Starting point is 01:55:21 You have to tell people that. You have to wean off antidepressants. I weaned off Zoloft with no trouble you lose control of your thoughts you don't have any control over what you're thinking and it's terrifying so you need to know zoloft is an antidepressant but like what does that mean you lose control of your thoughts you'll start thinking things that are completely foreign to you that you that are completely inconsistent with what you believe with who you are as a person scary thoughts andychotics to do that like i have a friend of mine he said that whenever he got on antipsychotics it was like there's a period of time i guess that
Starting point is 01:55:54 everybody was it was the big thing i guess to prescribe that um and so his mom hypochondriac whatever gave him uh um got him on antipsychotics, and he said he had some really bad, weird thoughts that he wouldn't normally ever have or come to have again once he got out of the medicine. So it's like, it's just, they sort of like keep all the bad side effects and possible things out of the picture, And it's just all Kumbaya. It's a problem. And when you have hard,
Starting point is 01:56:27 bad thoughts and you go on Klonopin or well, buter, and I've had horrible experiences with friends trying to kill themselves. Like those don't make you not have the bad. Those don't like change it. The past, the past is still real. And you have to deal with the past to be in the present.
Starting point is 01:56:40 Let's read some more. We got cowboy bears. Alex Jones is right. But remember that episode of dark winged up, which he went to another dimension where he was a famous figure the author of the dw comic just had a radio listening to dw dimension that's um i think the premise of bioshock infinite the dude can open or the the woman opens rifts and so the guy can like reach through other dimensions and times and steal information. So like songs.
Starting point is 01:57:06 It's cool. It's cool. There's like a barbershop quartet singing Beach Boys because he stole the song from another dimension and brought it and then sold it or whatever. I mean, it works. Beach Boys very much are like a high-pitched barbershop quartet. It's very great. Jenny's getting inky with it. It says, would you consider having Kathy Barnett on ReHow GOP is treating her? Ask Poso about her.
Starting point is 01:57:28 Seamus, a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde vid showing left as Ruben and Ma would be hilarious. Oh, that would be good. Maybe we should do something like that, yeah. And it's got to be like, it has to be that when other leftists start getting close, he doesn't understand. It's like, something's happening to me. I don't understand. No, but it's true. Like, you are left-wing in proportion to how close other left- start getting close, he doesn't understand. It's like, something's happening to me. I don't understand. No, but it's true.
Starting point is 01:57:46 You are left-wing in proportion to how close other left-wingers are to you in most cases. No, no, no. Hold on. Sorry. It's like 10 Dave Rubins standing in an open field, and as they come closer. I agree. I disagree. I disagree.
Starting point is 01:57:59 I disagree. As they get closer, they all start disagreeing and then turning into Mao. Turns into left-wing infighting. They're shoving. I disagree. Actually, they all start disagreeing. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, turning into Mao. Turns into, like, left-wing infighting. They're shoving... I disagree. Actually, this would be really good. It's a scientist explaining... A physicist explaining a natural phenomenon.
Starting point is 01:58:13 He's like, when the Rubin molecule is moved far away, and then once they start moving closer together, they start shifting into what's called a Mao particle. There are no left-wing individuals, only left-wing groups. Mao particle. The Mao particle. All right, we'll grab some more. Oh, but I also want to mention this.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Like, when I've had conversations with anyone here off air, like, when we talk off air, it's not like Ian doesn't like graphene when he's not on camera. You know, everyone here is pretty clear about their perspective. Yeah. And so maybe it's the case with like, you know, I can't speak to left wing influences or all of them at the very least. Some of them seem to be hypocritical,
Starting point is 01:58:51 but I just find with so many people who like are dying the wool leftist when they're not with other people, they're like less left wing. I'm glad you brought graphene, Seamus. Let me read this one. Pat says, I'm trying my best to cut out sugars. Big energy drinks are still my main weakness.
Starting point is 01:59:04 Any ideas, gang? So there best to cut out sugars. Big energy drinks are still my main weakness. Any ideas, gang? So there are sugar for energy drinks. Yes. But they typically have like Splenda or something in them. I'm not a fan. What are those things? Are they called Pneuma? Yeah, Pneuma.
Starting point is 01:59:15 Pneuma? No, Pneuma. Pneuma? Pneuma? Yeah. We got these energy drinks that have, it's like coconut water. So it's like naturally sweet. And then the energy drinks we have are actually almost like no sugar. And I think it's allulose. Seven grams of carbs. And they also have electrolytes.
Starting point is 01:59:29 Yeah. Allulose is an interesting sugar substitute. It's a great substitute. Also, in addition to food, one thing I found is if I eat a lot of sugar and I want it out of my body, I do a plank and I'll just hold it for like however many minutes I can hold the plank. And it hurts. It's much harder when you have sugar in your body, but you burn off a bunch of sugar. And then the next couple of days, it's a little bit easier. And then the plank becomes easier too.

You can check out Chicken City at chickencitylive.com or the Cast Castle vlog. We've got a bunch of really cool stuff happening this month. You're going to be really surprised. The expansion is going to be a really, really big year for everything we're working on. Bring on more people doing more shows. It's going to be a whole lot of fun. And let me just say, our strategy in these next few months is to assert ourself in the dominant establishment cultural spaces. So things should get interesting, to say the least. But it's because
Starting point is 02:00:39 of you. We're going to tell these people that they're not the elites anymore, that we are coming in and we are asserting our cultural presence.

So I want to give a quick shout out to the Marco Polo Project.
Starting point is 02:01:04 They're doing very thorough research on the Hunter Biden laptop. And it has hundreds of pages of very, very good information, investigative reporting information that you like when you see it in big mainstream outlets, that's where they're getting their information from. It's a work, a piece of art from a journalistic standpoint. So I want to give them lots of props for what they're doing. They're uncovering so much stuff from the Biden family that's just disgusting and, you know, makes them so unfit for the presidency. And I don't know, because a lot of the times these things come out and we just don't give a damn. Like, we move on.
Starting point is 02:01:49 Like, we didn't just see, you know, Hunter Biden's... Body. Body. Yes, yes. But, but, but... Awful photos. Nevertheless, it's a great effort. So I want to give a shout out.
Starting point is 02:02:03 Also, wherever you are, you're going to find me at RioJulioSong. If you type at RioJulioSong and I'm not there, it's not me. If you type and I'm there, it may be me. Hopefully, it will be me. Sometimes, I don't know. Yeah, just use your judgment. I am Seamus Goggle, and I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. You guys need to go over there and check it out.
Starting point is 02:02:27 We released a video yesterday called Bro V. Wade. I think you will all really enjoy that. We're going to be releasing some awesome stuff next week that I think you'll like as well. Go over there, hit the notification bell, and I also have an exciting announcement that I will be making next week. Oh, well, unfortunately, I know what it is. No, Tim does. Don't spoil it.. Oh, well, unfortunately. So tune in. I know it is. No, Tim does. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it, Tim.
Starting point is 02:02:49 I'm not going to be here. I'm not going to be here next week, Seamus. I'm going to miss your surprise. You better watch the show. I'm going to watch the show while I'm on the road. I'll be traveling across the country with my beautiful girlfriend. She's moving out here. I'm very excited.
Starting point is 02:02:58 I don't know if that's necessary for the world to know, but now you know. She's awesome. And to the person that asked another way to get off sugar, we were talking about allulose, coconut water, straight coconut water. When that starts to become sweet, you're balancing out your pH. Great stuff. I love you all, and I will see you in a while, a week from now.
Starting point is 02:03:15 Thank you guys for tuning in this evening, this lovely evening with a lovely Julia song. Really appreciate you all tuning in. I want to say, too, for quitting sugar, I thought that diet soda was a good bridge between drinking soda and not drinking soda, and then sparkling water is also really good if you want to stop soda altogether. I love peanut butter as a snack. That is very low in sugar as well.
Starting point is 02:03:35 Anyway, that's just my two cents. It's something I'm working on, too. You guys may follow me on Twitter, minds.com, at sourpatchlets, also at sourpatchlets.me. Also, I just want to mention, I want to respond to the chat's nip this in the butt. The announcement is not that I'm pregnant. Oh, no? I don't believe him.
Starting point is 02:03:50 I was going to bring that up. It's either pregnant, bad, or cancer. Oh, my gosh, yeah. He's like, I got a great announcement. In one week, I have cancer. That's such a great announcement. No, no. All right, everybody.
