Starting point is 00:00:00 I heard this story. People were going nuts. Everybody's all angry on Twitter. James Madison. What was he, the fourth president, I think? He's got this crystal flute. It's like a legendary crystal flute. It was in possession of the Library of Congress, who reached out to Lizzo.
Starting point is 00:00:16 She's a very famous musician. And she twerked on stage while playing it, thus fulfilling the prophecy, signaling the end of the American Empire. No, but a lot of people are making jokes about how, like, American history is now a joke, a spectacle, signifying that, like, you know, we've outlived our history, I guess. We've outlived
Starting point is 00:00:37 the, I guess the word is traditions, or you know, the historical value is just gone. It's become spectacle. And I said it was funny. I thought I thought I thought it was funny because, you know, I'm not trying to be mean to Lizzo or anything, but she's like this very large, morbidly obese woman playing this like legendary historical flute on stage. And it just kind of feels inappropriate for anyone, you know, not to respect to Lizzo, but like for anyone to like do that. But it is what it is. So we'll talk about that story. Cause I guess everybody's
Starting point is 00:01:07 laughing about it, but we got another story. That's really depressing. CNN had this great headline and it's, and it said, Joe Biden calls out to deceased Congresswoman at a conference. And it's, it was just, it was sad because, uh, I mean, this woman lost her life, uh, a month ago, Joe Biden's asking where she is, and he paid tribute to her personally. So the dude's brain is just rotted to the core, or he didn't actually bother
Starting point is 00:01:34 when she died. You know, pick one. Either way, it's just brutal. So we'll talk about that, plus there's a whole bunch of other stories, I guess. Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com, become a member to support our work. We're going to have a members-only uncensored show coming up tonight at 11 p.m. And you're also supporting our journalists, people like Christopher Burtman, who wrote the story about Lizzo twerking while playing James Madison's flute,
Starting point is 00:01:55 and our other reporters who are working every day. We had a great video. I don't know if you saw it. Elad went on the ground to a Fetterman rally and asked people if they, what they thought about John Fetterman chasing after an innocent black man with a shotgun because he thought he was shooting guns or something like that. And it's remarkable to see these people just say outright, like they don't care that he did it. And he even asks one person like, there's, there's a racial reckoning happening. Don't you think something here may be bad? Like, well, I don't believe you
Starting point is 00:02:20 anyway. So, and it just goes to show that the state of politics in this country, but if you want to support that stuff, it is 100% membership supported.

Starting point is 00:02:34 share the show with your friends. Joining us tonight to talk about all of this is Richie McGinnis. How are you doing folks? Who are you? I am Richie McGinnis. I am actually now no longer the video director at The Daily Caller.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I am an independent gonzo journalist. You can look that up. I know it's not a phrase that's used often these days. That's Richie, R-I-C-H-I-E, McGinnis, two I's, two N's, two S's. Falsely defamed by, I think, the New York Times. I think I'm just defamed, generally, at this point. And we were tweeting because you wrote an op-ed for Newsweek about Kyle Rittenhouse,
Starting point is 00:03:09 and then Jack Posobiec criticized you for it. Jack is unfortunately not here to defend his positions, but he had obligations. I respect Jack's position. I respect everybody's position. I think that's the point of an open discourse. And that's one of the reasons why, you know, I put my personal account out there as opposed to the account that came out in court. Because I think that the emotional experience, and I know that that's a big trigger word right there, but that's different from the actual undeniable truth of what the law is.
Starting point is 00:03:46 The way human experiences something is different from that. So also, Ian is not with us tonight, unfortunately. He's just chilling, but he might pop in at some other point. But we do have, thanks to Hurricane Ian, Don't Walk, Run Productions. Hello, everybody. Hanging out. Thank you. I'm Andrew from Don't Walk Run Productions.
Starting point is 00:04:06 You can find me on YouTube at just type in Don't Walk Run or Don't Walk Run at Twitter. I would like to thank our amazing host here, Tim Poole and the gang for letting me be a refugee. So
Starting point is 00:04:21 thank you very much. And I just want to say hi to everybody in Florida and just hope you guys are keeping safe. We like to say legal asylee. It was either here or Martha's Vineyard. I think I probably had a better chance here. So I didn't want to
Starting point is 00:04:38 be shipped to like a joint Air Force base up in Massachusetts. So I'm just staying in a hotel waiting to get back. You know, we take in refugees. You know, we want to do right. And so we gave, we got a hotel, I think, you know. Yeah, just don't try and come here if you're.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah, let him know ahead of time. But if you show up, you'll get shot probably. We also have the milk merchant. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about this guy staying around here but uh that's a separate topic anyway it's time for me to be professional i wanted to apologize for my gags and goofs it was a little distracting with my bazongas out talking about world war three i definitely i think i milked that bit to the last drop and plus my shirts were being ruined wonderful, amazing shirts that you could get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com, like this one that says it's not the news.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It's an establishment press release, which you could exclusively get on thebestpoliticalshirts.com because you do. I'm here. Thanks so much for having me. I just want to add, too, quite often, it's not the news. Quite literally, someone will send a press release to a news outlet, and they'll just reword it and then publish it. Yeah, all the time. And it's just literally PR for the richest's not the news. Quite literally, someone will send a press release to a news outlet, and they'll just reword it and then publish it. Yeah, all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And it's just literally PR for the richest people in the world. And you can get those shirts in long sleeve and short sleeve. Just remember that, okay? It's cold in the studio. Yeah, Tim did turn down the temperature just to get those nips popping. Well, of course, of course. You know, we've got to make the big bucks. We know it makes money.
Starting point is 00:06:06 It's true, we do. And I think that tonight would have been the perfect opportunity to say that Ian is busy because he's down in Florida. Obviously, that's not the case. I've heard that 21 Waffle Houses are closed right now. Thoughts and prayers to Florida. That's a very bad sign. Very excited to hear what we have to talk about tonight.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Let's get going, if Tim can see. So the first story we have here from TimCast.com, Lizzo twerks while playing James Madison's flute at DC concert. And that's it. You know, one of the earliest presidents had a crystal flute from 1813
Starting point is 00:06:38 and the Library of Congress brought that on stage to this woman so that she could toot her flute and twerk and something that something about this just it's a it's a it's a circus it's a spectacle it is i don't know what the right word is for it but it seems unserious like we've become a very unserious people as a waste of taxpayer dollars well yeah yeah but what i mean is you know we used to be like we're going to the moon people not because we want, but because we have to or whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I don't know what the quote was. But it was like you look back on history and we see these very serious things. Everything was a large matter of consequence, a matter of consequence. You've got wars. You've got civil rights. You've got all of this huge historical stuff happening. And I look back on that. I'm like, either the country is completely falling apart because we have no serious culture.
Starting point is 00:07:26 We're permanently children. You know, good times make weak men. Or it never existed in the first place and we just romanticize the past. So you're telling me James Madison wasn't twerking and playing his flute at the same time? That's what he would do. Yeah, he would go up on stage and he would, you know, twerk. That was very big in the late 1700s. Yeah, I thought what she did was very bold and brave.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Bold, very bold. And, you know, the cloth stuck up her tuchus was definitely an added artistic expression that I think we have to fully support because it's, again, something that is nice now. So I fully support it. Here's Lizzo tweeting, nobody has ever heard this famous crystal flute before.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Now you have. I'm the first and only person to ever play this presidential 200-year-old crystal flute. Thank you, Library of Congress. You know, I can appreciate this. She's very happy to be playing this. But there's something about it that to me, it's just kind of like,
Starting point is 00:08:23 I don't think disrespectful is the right word, but is desecration? Yeah. Desecration of historical artifacts. This is a piece of history. It's a really neat piece of history. It's beautiful. And she just. No, she upped the value.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Now, you know, Lizzo played James Madison's flute. Her buttocks flailing up and down making the clap noise adds value to this historical thing and now when we think of James Madison's flute we think of the wonderful booty of Miss Lizzo which I think only makes it
Starting point is 00:08:58 that much better. This reminds me of Idiocracy and WALL-E. Yeah. Like the look of shock and excitement on her face. I think... That comment was perfect right there. I just kind of feel like we're on the verge of World War III. And Vladimir Putin's sitting back in his chair and he's watching this and he's like, yeah, it's all over.
Starting point is 00:09:29 You know what I mean? You don't understand the major accomplishment that this was. Yes. Thank you. And finally, someone sees it like I do. This is Americana personified right in our reality. I mean, what else do you need to see to understand that this is America at its best right now?
Starting point is 00:09:46 Oh, sorry. No, I was just going to say, I think the Chinese engineers of TikTok are the ones who are sitting back laughing because if you're asking yourself, what does our culture pay attention to? Well, that's what TikTok culture will get you right there.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Oh, man. And these TikTok videos, they pop up on Instagram too. And I look at them and I'm like, okay, people are being programmed with this stuff. Like, man. And these TikTok videos, they pop up on Instagram too. And I look at them and I'm like, okay, people are being programmed with this stuff. Like, have you seen these videos? There's a lot of memes and they play songs and they all do the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And it's like, is degenerate the right word? You know, depraved? Yeah. It's working on people's basic impulses. And when you look at Chinese TikTok and their algorithm and you compare it to the american tiktok and what is shown to our children here that it's
Starting point is 00:10:30 captivating so much of their attention span that youtube is trying to copy every uh thing that tiktok is right now you see a huge difference with what is represented to the children of china that are limited on the platform only to, I believe, an hour or two hours per day. They're shown educational content. They're shown content that informs them about things that about their culture, about their society, about things that they could be doing. Art, math, science, all of that is prioritized here.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Twerking, sexuality, degeneracy, idiacy idiocy hurting people making fun of people and normalizing obesity normalizing uh castration normalizing some of the most craziest ideas which some people would hint at is a form of fifth generational warfare with people being brainwashed and doing things that essentially hurt them, their families, their communities, and eventually the country. And I think this needs to be understood when it comes to seeing the algorithm and its larger impacts on society. Do you guys ever take the moral foundations test?
Starting point is 00:11:35 You know that one? It's based on Jonathan Haidt's research. There are six moral foundations. You guys don't know that one? Liberals have only two. Conservatives have all six. And libertarians only have one. Of course.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Libertarians. And it's liberty. Everything else is. Yeah, it's just liberty. So like. Well, Liz was free to do this. They ask questions to find out where your moral foundations are. I usually get where it says like left liberal.
Starting point is 00:12:02 But I have a decent balance, uh, across the board, but I have really high Liberty. And then I have really high, like fairness. Liberals only have care and fairness as their moral foundations. They have no, uh, loyalty, like sanctity, purity, or whatever the other ones are. And then they have very low Liberty, uh, on average. And then Libertarians, they just don't care about anything but liberty. So the questions they ask you, it'll be like, there's a scale where it's like, how okay are you with this scenario? And one of them would be, one of them is, Janet is cleaning her attic when she comes across an old war memorial flag from her grandfather's time in a service. And she picks it up and uses it as a washcloth to scrub the floors. Are you okay with this?
Starting point is 00:12:48 Liberals tend to say, yeah, who cares? Libertarians tend to say, yeah, who cares? Conservatives tend to say, this is not okay. So in that regard, I actually say, yeah, absolutely not okay. I think for me, it's like, it's important to recognize the past so that we can learn from it, understand it and improve moving forward. But when I see something like this, I don't, I don't feel like rage or disgust. I kind of feel like, yeah, we're going down. We're going downhill. Because there's a certain amount of respect you would have for objects and artifacts
Starting point is 00:13:14 and things that represent the successes and the failures of humanity. And for this spectacle of this big, you know, what's the right word? Bodacious? Bodacious! Yeah. Sure, Luke. But look, look, look, I'm not trying to be mean to Lizzo because, you know, I'm fairly, I got that libertarian spike. But what I see here is American history being mocked essentially by a morbidly obese woman on stage as a spectacle, as a gag, as a joke, totally disrespecting what it is, what it
Starting point is 00:13:43 represents, what it's supposed to be. And as Luke was saying, it's the normalization, all of these really negative traits that we're supposed to be okay with. I look at this and I feel like it's idiocracy. I feel like it's WALL-E. In WALL-E, everybody's morbidly obese. They have no bone density anymore. That's not the kind of place we want to go. We don't want to go into some future where everyone's like He-Man ripped and like it's spartan or anything like that but the very least we can be like hey you know we're going to respect the the relics of our past so we can understand it this to me is just like taking a dump on the american flag you know do you think the people would have said the same thing in the late 1960s like you know conservatives at the time would have said america's going down
Starting point is 00:14:22 the toilet this is it it's over like because america does to a certain extent oscillate between conservative and no for sure culture right and i thought about that so i decided you know what this could just be our generation's conflict so i asked a bunch of older people who were around back then and yet they said certainly not they said it's never been this bad so maybe we we're just oscillating downwards. I think we are. I went to an antique shop. It's amazing. I got a photo. I got books. It's the photographic history of the Civil War.
Starting point is 00:14:51 It's this collection. It's from 1913, I think. It's very expensive. And it's amazing. You open it up and there's pictures from like Civil War battlefields and stuff. And I asked this guy who was in his 60s, have you ever seen it this bad? And he says, no, absolutely not. Now, granted, in the 60s, he was, you know, that's around the time he was born. He was a small child.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But I've asked a bunch of older people too, because people we've had on the show, we've had a lot of people on the show who are like in their 70s and older, and they all say the same thing. It has never been this bad. So I have to wonder, you know. Well, here's maybe just one question here. Do you also think that the power of information and technology and the way in which ideas can basically go between groups of people go between countries in a way that they never could before like to at a certain point the top is going to blow off and people will awaken to the fact that they've been you know controlled in these paradigms like what we're looking at right there and everybody's celebrating stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:15:48 You know what I wonder is there seems to be independent thinkers and dependent thinkers. And I wonder what the catalyst for that is. Why is it that some people want to live in the matrix and some people don't? Is this something inherent to an individual down to their core, their soul? Or is it a learned behavior or something that can be snapped out of? I certainly think humans are amorphous to the point where anyone can be red-pilled, anyone can be woke. It doesn't matter where you're from. But I wonder if there's a tendency due to something inherent. I'm not saying I know for sure. I'm wondering, I guess. I think that that battle has happened since America was incepted. It's between the
Starting point is 00:16:28 Puritans who settled in the Mass Bay colonies, wrote the first laws in the United States. One of the first laws written in the United States was you can't beat your wife with a stick any thicker than your thumb. I don't think that's true. Yes, it is. Let's look it up. I think that's apocryphal. No, it's literally that there were like 12 laws that were written in the mass bay colonies and that's one of them let's check it out anyways there's then there were the hillbillies who also came and they conquered the frontier and they're like i'm not going to listen to your laws i'm not going to listen to that i think to a certain extent america is unique in that we have those two cultures kind of battling it out uh let's see
Starting point is 00:17:04 english jurist sir william blackstone wrote in the commentaries of the laws of england an old law that wants moderate beatings by husbands but he did not mention thumbs yeah i'm pretty sure that's apocryphal what did you what did you say that was i'm gonna do my own independent research yeah it's it's it's i think it's folk folk etymology crack a beer if i'm wrong this early in the podcast but they're talking about that so when you search for this you get rule of thumb and they say that the rule of thumb is not a real thing um yeah i'm talking about beating your wife with a stick thicker than your thumb but that's where they that's where that comes from so well that's what people are saying it it's based on you know that the rule of thumb is about beating your wife when it's
Starting point is 00:17:40 actually so there was a court ruling in 1824 that asserted this. Wait. A ruling in Mississippi stated the man was entitled to enforce domestic discipline by striking his wife with a whip or stick no wider than the judge's thumb. In a later case in 1868, the defendant was found to have struck his wife with a switch about the size of his fingers. The judge found the man not guilty
Starting point is 00:17:58 due to the switch being smaller than a thumb. So I don't know, man. Don't beat your wife. It's not cool. No. Well, clearly. Clearly. That was aside from the point of the story. thumb so i don't know man you don't don't beat your wife it's not cool no yeah well clearly that was aside from the point of the story yeah well i don't think this is my i think this is my take on the whole as a situation i don't think it's that deep i don't first of all did anybody
Starting point is 00:18:19 in this room know the existence of that flute before today no no no and it's very cool what okay james madison apparently never played it so it was probably just given to him like somebody made it that makes it worse we don't know the historical significance of this flute other than james madison probably got it during his presidency lizzo absolutely did not know about that flute she had a concert there somebody in the National Archives is probably like, I really like Lizzo. They tweeted at her. And we have this stupid flute that nobody's played. And it's like Pixar.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It's like Pixar. Okay. John Lasseter used to have like a, in his office, he used to have all the Pixar toys. And then little kids would want to touch them. And he's like, no, no, no, don't touch them. And he's like, oh, wait a minute. They're toys. Kids should would want to touch them. And he's like, no, no, no, don't touch them. And he's like, oh, wait a minute. They're toys. Kids should be allowed to play them.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And the National Archives is probably the same thing. Like, that flute needs to be played. Right. So that makes it worse. Right. If you had an original sealed Han Solo action figure, mint condition, and then someone was like, let's tear it open and play with it, you'd destroy the value of it. The fact that it's preserved is what makes it valuable.
Starting point is 00:19:23 But if you're George Lucas, who cares? Like, you're just like, sure, kid, go play with it. The fact that it's preserved is what makes it valuable. But if you're George Lucas, who cares? You're just like, sure, kid, go play with it. Right. This is the property of the American public that was never played before, was a historical artifact, was handed off to some entertainer to play on stage, and that's why I said desecration. It's no longer this
Starting point is 00:19:40 pristine crystal flute that was ornamental. It is now a gag prop for a stage show. Well, it's not like she pooped on an American flag. I mean, she just played a flute for five seconds. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily call it desecration. I would say the whole situation is ludicrous. I'm not trying to say
Starting point is 00:19:55 that it's akin to pissing on a grave or anything, but it has fundamentally altered what that object was. And I just think what we see consistently is this idea that these people, you know, typically on the left care absolutely nothing for this country. They call it historically racist. They crap all over it. And it's all hypocrisy. They're more than happy to say defund the police, but then call the police on people they don't like. They're more than happy to all laugh and cheer and scream 1619 Project, but then be like,
Starting point is 00:20:23 we get to play with this historical artifact. It's just, what I see is you can certainly look to the past in your country and say, hey, there were bad things and we want to do away with those. But I think you absolutely have to respect the beginnings of where you come from and the history of your country. I think, look, what it comes down to is the reverence for this country is is just flushed on the toilet and this is this may just be a grain of sand in the heap but this is like a big show where they pulled from the archives from the library of congress and brought it on stage to make some spectacle out of i'm not saying it's the apocalypse but it's not very significant either
Starting point is 00:20:59 that the actual flute like you know we don't we don't know what it's about like who gave it to him like why was it given it to him why was it made i don't think that's relevant it's like i've got i've got a coin uh i've got i've got a coin from athens you know that i got at a shop i don't know who spent it i don't know why it was for uh you know minted no idea all i know is that it exists it's it's it's evidence of the civilization that that existed. It's a reminder of these things. I was also, I got this for Seamus. It was a coin used by St. Casper. They allege it was one of the same coins
Starting point is 00:21:32 that were minted around the same time that was given to, St. Casper was one of the wise men. It may have been used by him. We don't know for sure, but these were the ones minted in this area where they believe he came from. And that's a representation of something valuable.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Using it as currency is meaningless, but to take these items and treat them like just spectacles and toys or gag shows, I think, is... Look, no one desecration, I think, is like a signal of the apocalypse. That's the gag I put in the title of this video. I just think that this is just another sign of the decay of the core and the soul of this country. What do you people think? Vote number one if you vote for the decay.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Vote number two if this is the silly accident. Let me know down in the chat room right now. I'll give you this, Andrew. From CNN, Biden asks if deceased congresswoman is present at White House Food and Security Conference. Does this do it for you? Is this more apocalyptic? The president, who a month ago paid tribute to a congressman who died, seemingly forgetting he did that, a month later, calls out to her and says, is she here? Where is she?
Starting point is 00:22:39 I guess she's not here. I guess not, huh? Just a week and a half ago, he was on 60 Minutes and they asked him if he was mentally and physically fit to serve office. And he's like, oh, I'm focused. Oh, I'm focused. And then two weeks later, you know, he's like, oh, where's the dead congresswoman? I mean, oh, my God. Like, come on.
Starting point is 00:23:02 He's undermining his own argument. Oh, yeah, I'm in good shape. I'm in good shape. I'm 80. You know, it's ridiculous. Isn't he, he may almost. This is total clown world. He may be the only person who doesn't realize.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I mean, that's how brain decay works. You know, you're not aware. You don't have any nerve endings in your brain. You don't feel any pain from it. So I don't think we should be asking him if he has brain decay that's not how it usually you don't ask a person with dementia if they have dementia but everybody else around him is is like they're his yes man that's correct he has two metal stints inside of his head holding back major major uh what is aneurysms um so he is
Starting point is 00:23:42 not in good health but he has his finger on the button to literally blow up the world 20 times over. He could do it any moment, anytime, according to the official story of how the government actually runs and how the president is in charge and the commander in chief, which I question. And I think his, his, his decline perfectly shows what I think is what is happening behind the scenes of just the front guy that they're pushing forward to blame for the acceleration of the great reset. Let's put them up forward. Let's blame everything on this cognitive decline. Meanwhile, the richest, most sinister people behind the scenes are grabbing up everything for themselves and pushing the most absurd policies that no president would ever want to be known for. So, but I want to, I want to give a shout out to CNN because this headline is amazing. Biden asks if deceased congresswoman is present at White House Food Insecurity Conference.
Starting point is 00:24:32 They could have spun that a million ways. Well, they did. CNN did? Yeah, they did. There was actually, let me find it. It was an other article too. Let me, give me one second. I just like, I like how they framed it when corinne jean-pierre was asked she was like well clearly uh to joe uh she was top of top of mind
Starting point is 00:24:52 she was of top of mind and i'm like what is she saying what does that mean joe biden called out to a woman who is no longer living and then asked if she was here and i said i guess she's not it's like bro do you remember that you paid tribute to her like you wrote a letter i guess he didn't write the letter but don't you think that that going back to what we were saying earlier you know is there a certain breaking point at which people wake up don't you think any sentient human being who saw that would be like yo that's bs i mean it's the spokesperson of the white house is is literally lying in front of me oh but but it's been happening i look White House is literally lying in front of me. Oh, but it's been happening.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Look, come on, Russiagate. If you still believe this stuff, just, that's why I'm saying. It's a good point. You know, there's, we talked about this a bunch of times in the past when we get into our weird and wild shenanigans shows. But I was like, there's some religious theory. A theory isn't the right word. This idea that there's a finite number of souls and that some people are born without a soul because let's say there's only a billion souls available.
Starting point is 00:25:52 So when more people are being born, there's people who don't have any souls because there's not enough of them. I'm not saying I believe that, but that's a conversation we had. The argument then becomes, that means one in seven people are just mindlessly drifting about without any sentient function. You know what I mean? Like, dude, at what point do we say someone is cognitively deficient if they believe this stuff? You know what I mean? That's a, I mean, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Did you find the article? I did. It's a question of what reality is and how it's being fabricated. Yeah. The article is Joe Biden's latest gaffe plays right into republicans republicans pound all right was that an opinion piece though uh it's under cnn politics so i mean it's it's analysis i guess but this this one's like their actual news article and they just outright say it he asks if deceased congressman is present like i think i feel like that's a very
Starting point is 00:26:43 harsh framing it's it's hard to ignore it, though. It's hard for a news organization to actually spin that and go, like NPR. Somebody pointed out the NPR did a piece on the event that he did and didn't mention the gaffe at all. How much do you want to bet he really thinks Kamala is the president? You know how he's like called her president several times? Yes. Like they just, look, he was in the basement the whole time the campaign was going on.
Starting point is 00:27:08 For all we know, they came downstairs and said, congratulations, Joe, you're VP again. He was like, oh, oh, great. Who's president? Kamala's like, oh, all right. He's called Doug Emhoff the first lady. I'm not kidding. I'm not even making a joke. It's a true story. I kind of feel like, you know, at what point do we just sit back, light up a cigar, and, you know, ride the gravity bomb down?
Starting point is 00:27:31 I thought that's what we were doing. Yeah, yeah. Since January 20th. I will say, though, having my dad suffer from degenerative brain disease over the course of a number of years, It's interesting because kind of your core nature comes out and like all the core habits, you know, like needed a cup of coffee. Like you, you stick to the things that you really know that you can rely on every day, your routines. But for him, it was like the opposite.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It was like, he was so unwilling to give up his independence that anytime that you tried to help him with anything, you know, he'd be smacking you away. I think Joe Biden was just complicit in this stupid game from the beginning and so now it's just like it's just happening easier you know he just just kind of cruises yeah people were saying on twitter that this is was it sundowning but it's getting worse if it's to the point where like it was a month ago that he sent out a letter being like tribute to walorski's family i think that's her last name right walorski and he doesn't even remember that it's just like come on dude that's it's worse it gets worse they actually had a tribute to her at the event yeah so here he's coming out to speak this event
Starting point is 00:28:35 that was actually going to do a memorial tribute to her and he asks if she's in the audience like this might not be dementia this might be something substantially worse than that. Like it's one thing that your brain stops working. You're forgetting things and you're confused. It's another thing when you're like putting concepts together that shouldn't exist. Like we're paying tribute to this woman who died. Is she here sitting in the audience somewhere? Like, yeah, there's no way he's in charge.
Starting point is 00:29:03 He had major brain surgery a number of times being the president of the united states is an extremely exhausting stressful job that many presidents age severely during their time in office you look at the presidents uh maybe you know people make arguments against donald trump but you look at obama you look at clinton you look at bush they look like totally different human beings before they came into office and after they came into office as years off of their life have been taken away. There is no way he is slaving away. There's no way he's at that desk making the decisions. He's not in charge. He's not calling the shots. The bigger question that people need to be asking themselves is when he's not there,
Starting point is 00:29:43 he's checked out. He can't even make coherent sentences who's really in charge that's the question that a lot of people should be asking themselves can we give a round of applause to the onion for this i love to bring this article up great stress of presidency already ages by in 10 years and it shows a corpse so so so who's in charge if it's not if it's not biden who's in charge who's calling the shots here who's who's at the desk right now with that button that could blow the world over 20 times over it's ron klain it's jake sullivan it's definitely not kamala victorian newland black rock and all these other multi goldman sachs and all these other multinational corporations that are obviously
Starting point is 00:30:25 benefiting greatly from the policies that he's not even putting into place but he's signing on to and saying yes i'm for it when in reality i don't think he's there well getting back to the actual gaffe people don't they they don't understand because the white house is spinning it in a way that they're like oh well she was on his mind at top of mind and that's why he said it but of top of mind of top of mind of top of mind he was of top of mind well i don't know what that means like that i don't know i get what i get what you're trying to say but where that phrase come from steve portnoy from uh cbs news i it's CBS News, CBS News Radio, he said, look, we just want to understand what happened here.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Like, can we see the, will you release the prepared remarks? Because it's possible that, you know, to be completely objective here, it's very possible that in the teleprompter, it said, you know, I want to say thanks to these people that helped push the bill through. And they didn't put the late congressman or the late congresswoman or whatever. And, you know, like actually just spelling it out for Biden. And he just kind of, I mean, just pulled a Joe Biden. But she was, but the answer was, why do you need to see the prepared remarks? We put the delivered remarks up on our website. So it's very possible that somebody made a mistake in the teleprompter.
Starting point is 00:31:55 But, I mean, ultimately Joe Biden made a mistake. He's Ron Burgundy. He just reads whatever's on the prompter. But you really need, like, that's why he had the card. Remember the card that he had where it said, walk it through the door, sit down. You do this. You do this. Remember the card that he had where it said, walk it through the door, sit down. You do this. You do this. Did you see the one with the reporter's pictures and names and news organization and question and answers that they were supposed to be given and having the interaction with? All of that.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah, they do. They give him cards with little thumbnails of the people that he's going to interact with. In huge print with big photos very simply laid out there. We sometimes do promos for emergency food here on this show and my other show. Right now we've got this big hurricane barreling down on Florida and it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:35 I mean the water on the northern part of the hurricane all the water was pushed out so like the water drains because the wind is pushing the water. On the south end of the hurricane, it's actually an 18-foot storm surge just flooding Fort Myers. It's brutal. And stories like that, when they come up, I'm like, guys, you really need to consider this emergency food.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Yeah. Because people are going to get trapped in their homes for up to 10 days with no electricity. And so have you thought about what your emergency supplies are? Do you have canned food? Do you have supplies? Do you have water you're going to be able to drink? So especially if it floods, like, what are you going to do? Where are you going to go?
Starting point is 00:33:09 Now, that story, it's obvious to most people, like, why you would need emergency food. But I got to tell you, this story, I think, is a bigger example. There's a hurricane and our president doesn't know what's going on. No, I mean, like, if a commercial came on and they were like, a storm, a hurricane, could strike at any moment. Right now, there's a hurricane. Buy emergency food. I'd be like, yeah, you know, I get it, whatever. You show me this, and you're like, the president can't remember that he paid tribute to a congresswoman who died.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I'd be like, oh, boy. As we're severely escalating tensions with Russia and trying to, of course, make sure that the conflict in Ukraine is prolonged. It's absolutely bonkers to be in this current situation, not just because of the natural disasters, but the human disasters that are happening in places like Philadelphia, places all throughout the United States where havoc, criminality and lawlessness is just the new norm, which is which is, again, just perplexing to see such a destruction and such a chaos within our society.
Starting point is 00:34:08 And I think a lot of it is deliberate. And speaking of the hurricane, that story, the hurricane is actually drowning out. It's covering up this story. Like this is being pushed back. I'm just, in all seriousness, when the president has displayed this, okay, first of all, we just had, what, a couple days ago
Starting point is 00:34:27 where he gets lost on stage and he's doing the Mr. Burns hands where he's like walking around confused. And then I was covering that and so I looked up the Cornholio fists.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Remember during the town hall he's standing there with his fists clenched like Beavis? And with no explanation, everyone's like, what's he doing? Like something's
Starting point is 00:34:45 wrong with this dude. Yo, Vladimir Putin is now accusing the U.S. I believe Putin formally, I could be wrong, but I believe the U.S. is now being accused of sabotaging the Nord pipeline. Tucker Carlson came out with a great segment last night, way more in depth than the one I put out, pointing out that not only did this leak occur with two explosions detected on the Nord Stream pipeline but the Baltic pipe was just announced the same day coming from
Starting point is 00:35:14 Norway to Poland. Right. And very very close to where the Nord Stream line goes in. Across it. Right. So it's like a similar It's clearly sabotage of some shape or form. Greatly benefiting the West. And our president, commander in chief, this is the brain he has. I got to say, I think, you know, it's like a chicken with his head cut off.
Starting point is 00:35:36 That's it. Well, I think actually the most concerning thing about this right here is that this actually, there is a convenient truth there of like why he messed it up. And even in an instance where there is like a convenient answer, like, look, yeah, that, you know, it was in the teleprompter and he kind of misinterpreted it. They still choose to go with the outlandish lie.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So it's like, even when there's something there, you just, nope, we don't need that. And there were five reporters that got to ask her that question. And she had the same exact answer every single time. And there was one, I don't know who it is. I'm going to try and find out. But there was a female journalist in the room that actually started, she raised her voice and said, this happens.
Starting point is 00:36:21 He's confused frequently. What is happening here? And she basically just ignored her and said, you know, you're being rude. You need to like, you know, keep your voice down. But she has a great point. These journalists need to actually do their job and say, what exactly is going on? We need to see his full medical record. We haven't seen him take a cognitive test. It's all ridiculous. It's such a double standard. When Trump walks down a ramp slowly, they go, oh, yeah, they bring in Sanjay Gupta and go, hey, doctor, hey, doctor, what do you think could be wrong with him? Do you think there's something wrong mentally and physically? When Joe Biden falls upstairs three times, they go, oh, it was the wind. When he falls off a standing bicycle, they're like, oh, it's a stutter. He has a stutter. So the double standard is very
Starting point is 00:37:18 real. But I think- He said, shoot it on a shot of pressure, and they called it a stutter. But I think these journalists are starting to wake up and they're starting to get really annoyed with Karine Jean-Pierre, who will not answer a question properly. She may as well just say, like— She's tragically untalented. Unreal. Here's what she should do at this point. Let's play again. She should quit.
Starting point is 00:37:42 So ask me a basic question and i'll answer it uh so what is happening with the response to hurricane situation to the kuwait situation kuwait uh well that's a great question the other day i was out in new york with a friend of mine and we went to this really great place called Lafayette in New York. It's on Lafayette and they have beef tartare. It's amazing. It's actually some of the best. So next question.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So basically what you're saying her response should just be fuck you next question. Misdirection. Oh, sorry. That's my bad. The family friendly show here. You did it.
Starting point is 00:38:22 No, I just mean like if she's not going to answer the question, just tell something interesting, you know, like she could be like, she's not gonna answer the question just tell something interesting you know like she could be like oh yeah that's an excellent question
Starting point is 00:38:29 did you guys see the latest House of Dragons it was you know I don't understand what was going on because like I turned it on and it's the future now
Starting point is 00:38:36 you know did you watch this yeah they changed the actors but it's the future now and like Rhaenarys has a bunch of kids I just got confused as to what I was watching
Starting point is 00:38:44 and turned it off that's a better answer than anything she could have said i'd be like oh that's less insulting is that is that what happened on australia top of mind of top of mind i would i would rather someone be like kareem the president called out to a deceased member of congress can you explain what's going on i'd be like yeah actually i've been watching better call saul and i don't know if you guys saw the episode, the last one, where the German guy gets executed. Man, what a great show. What a great show.
Starting point is 00:39:09 You know, it was really crazy to see Mike kind of like becoming this character where he doesn't want to kill the person, but, you know, eventually becomes this cold-blooded killer in Breaking Bad. Next question. I kind of disagree with you, Andrew. I think she's doing a great job because as a White House spokesperson, she's supposed to represent the administration. And what better way to do that than to be confused when she's answering questions from journalists and not answering any questions and not having any kind of intellect when it comes to answering questions.
Starting point is 00:39:34 She's trying to mirror Joe Biden. She's doing it in a very good way. And she does represent the administration perfectly. What if, you're mentioning how the journalists are just getting fed up with being lied to. What if, you're mentioning how the journalists are just getting fed up with being lied to. What if eventually she just snaps because she's desperately trying to spin the unspinable?
Starting point is 00:39:50 She just comes out and she goes, I'll be honest with you, I think that dude's brain is just gone. I don't even know what to say anymore. Look, I've been trying really, really hard to spin these answers for you guys, but clearly we're at a point where everybody knows Joe Biden can't think straight. The guy had two brain aneurysms in 1988. He's not doing too well. What do you think he's going to be doing?
Starting point is 00:40:07 What if he said that'd be amazing? Yeah, I would love that. What do you think? His brain doesn't work. Next question. But I don't know if these journalists are being lied to. I just think that she's just not answering a question. Or the other day, one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life
Starting point is 00:40:24 from anybody in any administration, Peter Doocy asked her, they were talking about the border. And she was like, well, you know, they just don't walk, just like walk over the border. They don't walk across the border. And he's like, no, that's exactly what happens. That's exactly like, what world do you live in? I've been there. I can confirm that. That's exactly what it is. you live in i've been there i can confirm that that's exactly what dude it's amazing because she says nothing like the answers she gives aren't
Starting point is 00:40:50 like when when asked about the deceased member of congress she goes well um and she looks down and she goes um well uh joe biden um was honoring these people and she was off top of mind honoring do you remember jay carney though that's what she said. She was off top of mind. That was Jay Carney. Jay Carney for Obama did the same thing. It's like he talked even slower. Look, what I loved about Kayleigh McEnany was that she had the book, and she'd be like, you're lying, journalist. But now it's like what's happening is journalists are actually asking.
Starting point is 00:41:16 It's like Peter Doocy. I don't know if he was a wake-up call to these people, but now they're asking real questions that you can't spin it anymore. It's just unspinnable. I mean, the binder, you're right, Richie. The binder has always been there. But it's just so blatant that she doesn't have a thought on her own, a thought of her own. She just has to go to the binder 99% of the time.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I imagine that when they were deciding who was going to replace Jen Psaki, they had the candidates and they were like, this is Kareem. She can string words together for a long time. Yeah. They don't mean anything, but. She's really good at those word salads. They should. It's all word salad. It's all.
Starting point is 00:41:56 It's crazy. They shouldn't. She should not. She's there. We know why she's there. John Kirby should be there. John Kirby is a, he's articulate. He actually knows what he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:42:09 He should be there. But they went with Karine Jean-Pierre so she could be like the first this and the first that and check off a bunch of boxes. I wonder if, you know, behind the scenes, the White House, they're watching the press briefings and they're just laughing at the journalists. They were like, they still show up?
Starting point is 00:42:26 Like at what point do you just stop showing up? She's not going to answer your question. She's not even, like, that's why I was making the joke about if she just started talking about Breaking Bad or something, at least you'd have some coherent thought. Like she would be telling you a thing. You'd be like, okay, well, it's unrelated, but at least it's something. No, she's, it's what is of top of mind?
Starting point is 00:42:42 She was clearly of top of mind. Are you saying that like he was thinking about her or something and that's why he misspoke? What does that mean? What is that phrase? But she just kept repeating it. And then my favorite is when they're like, okay, I'm gonna ask you again
Starting point is 00:42:53 because you didn't answer the question. She goes, I already explained it to you. She was of top of mind. And then she read it again from the binder. And then there was a journalist who said, well, look, I think about John Lennon every day. He's on top of mind, and I don't expect him to show up. Wait, a journalist said that?
Starting point is 00:43:12 Yeah, a journalist said that. I'm paraphrasing, but he said, and she's like, well, when John Lennon becomes the president, then, you know, we can talk about it then. When John Lennon becomes the president? Yeah, like she's just an idiot. That's like a Jen Psaki, like you condescend the question without answering it. Oh, she was so smug. But at least she could spin.
Starting point is 00:43:31 At least she was competent enough to be smug. She was the State Department spokesman under Obama. I didn't think she was that... She wasn't really good then either, but... No, but I think for the spin that she spun, she spun spin, you know what I mean? Like, Karine Jean-Pierre is just garbled word salad to be like, here, let's try it again.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Ask me a question. You mentioned Jake Harney before. There was a hullabaloo with Joe Biden when there was like the, I think it was like the bird flu. And he was like, wow, you know, I wouldn't want to get on a plane because if somebody coughs and like the whole plane's going to get bird flu.
Starting point is 00:44:03 And then the press actually it was actually jake tapper i believe who who's like pushing jay carney it's like um you know that's not true right like you know the and then they're like well what the vice president meant to say they're like no no what he meant to say is not what he said you know like they were trying to spin a thing that that joe b actually believed. He got a thing wrong. And they were like, no, what he meant to say. It's like, no, no, no. It's what he said.
Starting point is 00:44:28 He was wrong. And he can't admit it. Ask him a question. So what did Joe Biden, what was Joe Biden referring to when he was trying to call out an audience member who died a month ago? Volkswagen. Oatmeal spoon. Ferrari. call out an audience member who's who died a month ago volkswagen oh neil spoon ferrari cumulonimbus oh that's true rhododendron the nimbus is correct yeah um methylprednisolone oh my yes um that was a big one bismuth sal salice salice how do you say that salice salice salaciousness no no no bismuth salicilic salicilic I don't know the word
Starting point is 00:45:05 salicilic you get what I mean though pepto bismol ah yes choriqueso choriqueso yeah choriqueso guacamole
Starting point is 00:45:14 languages yeah and raffine buongiorno like she may as well just be saying random words and the journalists
Starting point is 00:45:22 keep asking expect it's like they're sticking their hand in a fire thinking something different is going to happen every time. It's like the way you say it and not how you say it. It's like if someone says, I went down to Peru. And you're like, they're smart. They know how to pronounce Peru.
Starting point is 00:45:36 You know what's crazy, though? They really tried to do a hit job on all the Republican press secretaries. Like there was a, it was reliable sources. They put out a story where they said, Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, you don't get a lot of answers from, not a lot of answers. And it's her saying,
Starting point is 00:45:58 it was like a montage of her saying, I don't know, which didn't mean that she didn't know the answer to the question. She was saying things like, I don't know why Democrats would want this thing. And they put and they and they made because, of course, they're dishonest and they put together this montage. But with with, you know, Jen Psaki, you could do that or Jay Carney. You could do the same. You could do the same thing. But actually, he didn't have a lot of answers and neither did jen saki and oh like i need to remember this uh i'll circle back to you you know how many
Starting point is 00:46:31 circle backs there were at the beginning but that's that's why i mean the whole daily briefing is an act in the first place like the president uh president clinton started the daily the white house briefings and it was basically like the 24-hour news cycles came out they needed stuff coming out of the white house consistently content and it became like i started working at nbc in 2000 and uh end of 2012 and i decided to leave the cable news game because i was like this is such bs because it's you pay you pay your dues you ask the right questions and if you ask the right questions you play play the game for long enough, then you'll be one of those front men. So you just have to play the game in cohorts with the White House.
Starting point is 00:47:13 And so it's like this relationship between the fourth estate and the government that is the exact opposite of the purpose of the press, which is like to ask the tough question. I think they should just get rid of it. It's TV time for news reporters. That's all it is. Because they have a press office. Yeah, they should do a TikTok briefing instead. There's such thing as email. They can just go and say,
Starting point is 00:47:34 here's my question, please answer it in an email. But instead, they're, you know, I mean- That's why I don't watch this stuff. I've never watched it. Oh, I watch it every single day because for content. You may as well just sit in front, sit in your bathroom and flush the toilet every few seconds that's what you're watching that's what i watch yeah but it depends on like with keely mcinerney she actually answered questions hold on but she was calling out the corporate press that was awesome i mean she
Starting point is 00:47:58 she didn't have to do that but she did and she did it very well she was amazing and and uh sanders was great too she they they were they were very very amazing press secretaries sean spicer on the other hand total garbage he he said he set the tone i pitched him on a motorized podium after uh jenny mccarthy what's her name motorized remember um silent live did that spoof and he they had who was it what 13.30 to 4.30. 14.30 to 4.30. 15.30 to 4.30. 16.30 to 4.30. 17.30 to 4.30. 18.30 to 4.30. 19.30 to 4.30. 20.30 to 4.30. 21.30 to 4.30.
Starting point is 00:48:29 22.30 to 4.30. 23.30 to 4.30. 24.30 to 4.30. 25.30 to 4.30. 26.30 to 4.30. 27.30 to 4.30. 28.30 to 4.30. 29.30 to 4.30.
Starting point is 00:48:37 30 to 4.30. 30.30 to 4.30. 31.30 to 4.30. 31.30 to 4.30. 32.30 to 4.30. 33.30 to 4.30. 33.30 to 4.30. 34.30 to 4.30. 34.30 to 4.30. 35.30 to 4.30. 36.30 to 4.30. 37.30 to 4 around D.C. and it'll go viral. How awesome would it be
Starting point is 00:48:46 if Dave Smith actually wins the presidency and then Michael Malice becomes the press secretary? It'd just be so amazing. He'd just be like, for one, he'd be ragging on the corporate press, which would be hilarious, but then he'd probably just say
Starting point is 00:49:01 things exactly as they are. I think it would just be an empty room after like two weeks. Just no one would go anymore. Why? Because they'd just be getting wreck exactly as they are i think it would just be an empty room after like two weeks just no one would go anymore why because they just be getting wrecked and they're like no no i think malice just ruined my career because someone would ask like what's going on with the withdrawal of troops from syria and the middle east and it'd be like there's no reason for us to be at war in the middle east like huge like dave smith would be like we're ending the wars we're getting everybody out of here this is a waste of our time and money and then you there's be there'd be no spin they'd be like yeah we're ending the foreign wars like we promised yeah but then lockheed martin would
Starting point is 00:49:32 call up nbc and be like yo you guys can't send a reporter there anymore this is really bad hold on can you imagine it would be an empty room but let's think about that with all of those clips where it's like brought to you by pfizer brought to you by pfizer what do you think the media would do with like a President Dave Smith? You got President Dave Smith, Vice President Maj Ture with a Michael Malice press secretary. They would, the news would be the most insane thing ever. There would be like Photoshopped images of Michael Malice kicking puppies. Like Lockheed would be like, shut him down.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Like, I don't care. Like it would just be, it would just be the craziest news you could imagine. If you thought it was bad with Trump, imagine actually getting some libertarians in who are like, yeah, we're going to shut down the military industrial complex. Yeah, they wouldn't get that. That's the point is like they wouldn't let it happen. Well, and for that matter, think about the news cycle if they actually became competitive. Right now, among millennials, overwhelmingly, they reject both parties. Most like younger people are more OK with the Republicans. I'll put it this way. Right now, among millennials, overwhelmingly, they reject both parties.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Most like younger people are more okay with the Republicans. I'll put it this way. Younger people that lean conservative or libertarian are more okay with the Republican party than young people are with the Democratic party. Young leftist leaning individuals despise Democrats. It's like 35% of millennials in Gen Z think the Democratic Party is trash. But they are leftists. They are left-leaning or liberal. So, it's possible that you'll get
Starting point is 00:50:52 eventually a third party that actually breaks through. I don't know about winning the presidency, but I just imagine if there's a real risk, one of the fears among Democrats is the Libertarian Party actually pulls votes from the Democratic Party, not the Republican. They thought that the Libertarian Party was going to hurt the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:51:10 But I think what happened in 2016 is it actually hurt Democrats. It pulls their votes. So they would have no choice but to try and destroy the Libertarian candidates because it's bad for them, for the establishment. I think that'd be interesting to see. What are they going to do about it, huh? It could be a Pfizer party. A Pfizer party? Yeah, they? It could be a Pfizer party. A Pfizer party? Yeah, they'd probably win.
Starting point is 00:51:27 The Pfizer party. I mean, yeah, if corporations are people, my friend. Yeah, exactly. Then why couldn't a corporation run for office? Well, now we have people speaking on behalf of corporations but pretending they're still people. Yeah. But that's what our White House press secretary is doing right now. I don't know if there's a solution to all the political BS that's going on.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I feel like it's just gotten to the point where the emperor has no clothes. Even the journalists now can't pretend otherwise. And there's no solution. There's no moment where people all agree like, hey, this probably isn't working. Let's get some competent people in. No, it's just like, I won't let you win. So I'll do whatever it takes, even if it means putting Biden in office. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I think that there is some kind of change that will happen from this. Like, if you looked at the last major populist election, or major populist, I guess, uprising, you could argue that there are a couple more in between. But William Jennings Bryan in 1896 gave that famous speech, The Cross of Gold, and he wanted to switch to the silver standard, which would help small businesses and farmers. And William Jennings Bryan was like 36 years old. Went into the DNC, gave this amazing speech. Total dark horse candidate. Took the presidential candidacy. Ended up losing.
Starting point is 00:52:35 But both political parties changed majorly in the wake of that. And actually the Bull Moose Party, Teddy Roosevelt, that was kind of the aftermath of both parties. That's when the Democratic Party really switched from the Party of the South to the, starting towards the working class, Party of the Working Class, which, you know, FDR's party kind of started in that moment.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I mean, they were still extremely racist around then for a couple decades. Yeah, look, I'm not here to defend the Democratic Party of 1896. I'm just saying that the shift started when this dark horse came out of nowhere and gave this amazing speech about how he's going to help out the little guy.
Starting point is 00:53:08 And even though he didn't win, he came close. And it forced both parties to reckon with the fact that they weren't acknowledging that aspect of the population. So I don't think that's a good thing. I want to talk about this story here. Let's talk about Jordan Peterson. Oh, by the way, rule of thumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Real quick. It was William Blackstone, 1723. It was, that was the basis of US common law, which came from English common law, which was the rule of thumb, but he didn't explicitly state the thumb law in the United States. So he, but it was, he's talking about beating your wife and how to do it. Let's pull up this story. Let's talk about the good doctor, Jordan Peterson. The Daily Mail says,
Starting point is 00:53:48 Controversial Jordan Peterson tears up as he agrees he's a hero to incel men and responds to Olivia Wilde calling him an insane pseudo-intellectual saying, it really didn't bother me. This is a great story. It's an important story. Jordan Peterson makes a really good point when he says,
Starting point is 00:54:03 so he's asked by Piers Morgan, you know, are you a hero to incel men? He says, okay, why not? And then he actually starts crying, which, you know, he cries a lot. He's a very empathic person. And I think that he knows he's a hero to incel men because he's like, these men have no one else saying this to them. Like, you've got to strike a chord with him.
Starting point is 00:54:23 This is what he says. He says something to the effect of, you know know it's interesting how there are men who don't know what to do they're lonely and unsuccessful and they're and they're trying to figure out how to improve and they're just attacked and insulted and you you get these you know insults against them he said i thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice. Instead, people like Olivia Wilde saying she made a movie based on him.
Starting point is 00:54:49 In what way is Jordan Peterson in any way insane? You know, it's just like they just hate anyone who I suppose it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:00 I got to be honest, I really don't understand why they hate Jordan Peterson so much, but I have to assume that it's because he's empowering to the individual. Yes, I think so.
Starting point is 00:55:07 I was actually thinking about this earlier today because I was listening to a remix of his spoken word, as I sometimes do, because what he has to say is interesting and wise. And I was thinking, I think that they hate him because they're evil. And he's trying to construct people and they only know how to destroy people and they're doing that with him just like they've done with lonely men over the past few years that was what i came up with i i'm i'm gravitating toward the idea that they truly are evil because it seems i think it's their source of their identity comes from this you know culture war that they perceive jordan peterson to be the enemy and because maybe i't know, they didn't have a loving family or something like that, that they have to cling to the tribe of Me Too, you know, and that it, they'll just continue
Starting point is 00:55:55 with that regardless of how much it's grounded in reality. Well, just to add to this point, I think they also prop themselves up by stepping on other people. I think that's the norm. And this is why Jordan Peterson is such a horrible person to them because he's like, hey, don't get stepped on. Hey, stand up for yourself. You're a human being.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Have some dignity. Have some respect for yourself. And it counters the agenda, which is going along with the destruction of the modern man. Yeah, have a dirty room. Have a dirty room. Don't be organized.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Don't have your stuff together because that's bad for business. Because when you're disorganized, when you're disheveled, when you don't have family, when you're mentally and physically weak, you're the perfect consumer. And I think that's exactly what they're after.
Starting point is 00:56:33 They want you to be a consumer. It's bad for business when people stand up for themselves, when they have families, when they're healthy, when they're happy. And this is why Jordan Peterson trying to help people is not along with the agenda.
Starting point is 00:56:43 We have to stop Jordan Peterson because Jordan Peterson is stopping our agenda it is there truth to this claim when like you see women like olivia wilde saying this stuff that they have bad relationship with their fathers yes 100 because maybe it's because of how i was raised but i had a really good really solid relationship with my dad and i still consider myself really lucky for that but I see that a lot of people I think I there's nothing else you can conclude I think that's what they're missing what do you think Richie well I think I I have a personal connection with Jordan Peterson because when my dad was sick I started listening to his old testament lectures yeah and that was really
Starting point is 00:57:20 right when he was coming into the public sphere and I think that's part of it too is there's a religious component there which is one of the reasons why Jordan Peterson is is threatening because he's articulating all of these kind of old biblical ideas in a modern context and it resonates with people and it's people see a resurgence of the religious right which you know growing up I didn't I didn't understand the power of it until I was confronted with something as difficult as a tragedy in your family. But I think that that's really what it is, is Jordan Peterson actually has a point. And that's scary to people who like things the way they are, where they have power. They want incels. They want white supremacists.
Starting point is 00:58:00 So when Jordan Peterson comes out and says, Identitarianism is bad. And don't be an incel and prove your life, they're like, uh-oh, he's damaging our access to a boogeyman. The media desperately tries to come out claiming everyone's a white supremacist or a white nationalist. Vox has that famous article where it's like, what was it, like 11 million people have white supremacist views
Starting point is 00:58:22 or some other ridiculous nonsense. And then Jordan Peterson comes out and he's like, hey, don't have these views, don't be a collectivist, million people have white supremacist views or some other ridiculous nonsense and then jordan peterson comes out and he's like hey don't have these views don't be a collectivist pick up the heaviest thing you can find and carry it work on yourself clean your room all of these things are going to turn these incels into functioning members of society it's going to give them strength and these woke people are terrified of it it's one of the main things standing in their uh in their way of full conquest the full control of of humanity it's the subjugation of the main things standing in their uh in their way of full conquest the full control of of humanity is the subjugation of the modern man and i do believe they were successful
Starting point is 00:58:51 especially when you look at testosterone levels sperm levels mental health physical health it's all declining along with iq so so there is something else going on here and seeing this kind of concerted attack against individuals who are there to predominantly help people should be concerning for the average viewer, should be concerning for anyone watching this, because we are seeing the destruction of the modern man. I don't think that's a crazy statement to assert here, because the results are clear, especially in our current political and societal system. You can't ignore it. So I think we do need help, but no one's helping them. And the only person who is, is getting attacked. How does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:59:33 By the way, I actually just looked it up to make sure from what I recalled, but I did a freelance gig in DC with a guy named Andrew Cockburn. And there was a photo of Olivia Wilde. And I looked it up to see. That's her name. Yeah. So that I met Olivia Wilde and I looked it up to see that yeah so that I met Olivia Wilde's dad and answered this question and he's a journalist and you know I don't I don't really I didn't glean much from the interview itself because I was just you know setting up cameras and it was an interview but he seemed to be a nice guy um well but I don't know
Starting point is 01:00:01 if you know she could just be pandering, right? Olivia Wilde is like, hey, you can say this thing. Exactly. But people often say, like, when you see these feminists, these women on Twitter, it's like they had a bad relationship with their father. I'm wondering, is that just a meme or does that come from somewhere? Is that true that women with bad relationships tend to lash out in this way? Well, so as far as I can tell, it's not feminists typically that are accused of having daddy issues.
Starting point is 01:00:22 It's women who are on places like OnlyFans who are seeking the approval of men actively over the top being hoes, honestly. I think it's just we have a culture, like you said, of destruction. Rachel Dolezal has an OnlyFans. Oh, gosh. I saw that. No. Well, there's also a lot of concerning stats when it comes to single parent households and households where the father is not there, especially when it comes to criminality, especially when it comes to people's overall life expectancy, their happiness, their health. A lot of it is correlated with how they're brought up. And if they're not brought up
Starting point is 01:00:55 with a strong family unit, the individual does suffer. The child does suffer, not just mentally, but also physically. So I think those stats can't be ignored. Jordan Peterson talks about them a lot and talks about the importance of a family unit. And I think this is also, again, one of the reasons why they're like, hey, he's bad. Yeah, he basically sticks his thumb in the entire postmodern world order, which is like this, this idea that everybody had of, you know, we don't need all that stuff. You don't need to have this nuclear family and a white picket fence and a car in order to be happy. And he says, no. I mean, that's what you were saying.
Starting point is 01:01:30 It's like there's an agenda that's been around for 40 years and he's just calling it all out very effectively. I feel like someone's feelings or expressed feelings about someone like Jordan Peterson is a good indicator of whether or not they're a sentient being or an NPC. I'm being somewhat facetious, but what I mean is a rational person will say either I'm not familiar. I've heard about Jordan Peterson, but I've not listened to him before, so I have no real strong opinions. Or they'll say something rational like, you know, I've listened
Starting point is 01:02:01 to him. I'm not a big fan. Some of the points he made about religion I don't agree with. Or they'll say I'm a big fan of the things he said because, you know, I've listened to him. I'm not a big fan. Some of the points he made about religion, I don't agree with, or they'll say, I'm a big fan of the things he said, because, you know, they said, or otherwise, any one of those responses indicates a thinking person who's like, you know, let me try and figure this out. But the people who are like, he's an incel hero, evil, alt-right, whatever, they clearly haven't done any groundwork to understanding or listening to anything that he has to say. So if you were trying to figure out if someone is a discerning individual or let's just say an NPC in the, in the colloquial sense, you can ask them about Jordan Peterson. Trump's too overt. You know, everybody knows Trump. He's up there. He's big. There's always something to say about him. But these people, I bet if you went to Olivia Wilde and said, really, so what don't, what, what don't you like about Jordan
Starting point is 01:02:42 Peterson? What do you think makes him insane? She would have no answer at all. She doesn't know. He's famous enough, but he's still obscure enough where with like my point is Trump's in the news. You can easily have remembered something he said and then been like, I don't like how he handled this thing. And then you're like, OK, with Jordan Peterson, they're going to have no nothing because they don't actually listen to anything he's ever said. They're terrified of being canceled. You know, that's the culture that we live in today, which is everything that happens is forever on the internet. And if you say one wrong thing, then your whole life is going to be over.
Starting point is 01:03:15 And nobody wants to say that one wrong thing because, I don't know, that's the world we live in where critical thinking isn't valued over. You're not supposed to think. You're supposed to react. you're supposed to react. You're supposed to have emotions. You're supposed to, of course, just go along with the group. Think, go along with the herb herd, do what you're told. And essentially people thinking for themselves, that's extremely dangerous for a system that thrives off of ignorance.
Starting point is 01:03:39 And there's a lot of ignorance. I think there's no denying that. I mean, just she just reminds me of like when you go to a college and you interview the students outside and say why are you protesting michael knolls oh because he's a nazi well what did he say what what was what was the thing he said well i heard you know well i i know like she didn't really write this script or anything she i i do believe that you know i think you guys are right that she's just pandering. And, I mean, the story's about like a cult leader, you know, in like a town.
Starting point is 01:04:14 It's not like that. It doesn't really have anything to do with. Jordan Peterson is not a cult leader by any means. You know, he's just like an intellectual. A self-help leader. Who's trying to help people do you have a ukraine flag in your bio because if you don't i'm coming for you all right well hold on guys we got breaking news uh rapper culio's passed away of cardiac arrest oh no he was
Starting point is 01:04:36 at a a friend's house and he went to the bathroom and then he didn't come back from the bathroom went inside found him on the floor he had had a cardiac arrest. I guess it's a heart attack. Damn. 59 years old. He's in gangster's paradise now. Pour one out for the G. Pour one out for Coolio, man. Can I pour a little of this in the garbage?
Starting point is 01:04:54 I guess. I guess. Why not? Is that beer? Yeah, it's beer. That's part of pouring one out. It can't be like a soda. All right, here he goes.
Starting point is 01:05:00 There we go. I poured it out. Wow. He poured a little bit out. So is 59, I that's that's kind of young isn't it young for a heart attack is that is it it depends on his was he doing a bunch of hard drugs that's the first thing i want to know is that oh i don't know risk or had he in the past right you know left him with a weakened heart or something yeah that sucks so yeah man just
Starting point is 01:05:22 hearing a lot of these you guys hear about the sur? He was 24 years old and he had a stroke while surfing and then died. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It was like a 24 year old. Like they say, it was like a prodigy surfer. Yep. What the heck? And then falls over like while surfing and then drowns.
Starting point is 01:05:35 And then they were like, he had a stroke while he was surfing. It's crazy, man. Crazy stuff, you know? And surfers are like the most, you know, cardiovascularly fit people that you'll meet. Well, I think, you know, just we're seeing a lot of people, a lot of stories have been popping up about people suddenly dying and stuff. And, you know, it's just, it reminds you of the nature of reality that, you know, life is fleeting.
Starting point is 01:05:57 You're not allowed to ask any questions. This program was brought to you by Faser. Well, he was a big barbecue guy. Coolio was? Yeah. He used to do guest pit appearances. Maybe it was cholesterol that killed him. You don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Doubt. I don't know. By the way, I think it was Kalani. There's a lot of propaganda with cholesterol out there. I want to say Kalani Rob, but I'm trying to remember the surfer's name. It was Kalani something. I can't remember his last name, the guy who died. There was a viral video about a little girl who got myocarditis.
Starting point is 01:06:30 It was an ad for, was it New York Presbyterian Hospital or something like that? Yeah. And this little girl's like, I got the worst stomachache ever, and it turned out I had myocarditis, so the doctors gave me medicine. And it's just, you know, like you got to pay attention to this stuff because, you know, we weren't talking about children getting myocarditis a few years ago, and now it's's just, you know, like you got to pay attention to this stuff because, you know, we weren't talking about children getting myocarditis a few years ago. And now it's become this, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:49 enough to where the hospitals are doing commercials for it. And a lot of people that we feel maybe be a little bit too young or having heart attacks or dying in their sleep. So it's just something that we should pay attention to
Starting point is 01:06:58 that life is fleeting. And, you know, it's just, it shows to show that in the past few years, we've really come to understand the importance of talking about mortality. Because we clearly were ignoring these stories only a few years ago, you know. Only a few years ago, we weren't talking about the kids getting myocarditis and, you know, for whatever reason, you know. It's as if there was some kind of intervention that happened that, you know, people had to partake in, that they were extorted and manipulated.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Well, I don't know about any of that, Luke. I'm just saying like... I'm just saying. I'm just speculating here. I'm not saying... Don't say that thing that rhymes with shmentanil either. Okay? Don't bring that up.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Oh, yeah. I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm just saying, look. No clue. Coolio, look. Is it... Maybe it's unfair to accuse him of having done drugs. Maybe it's not.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Musicians and rock stars, he had a big hit in the 90s. High-risk lifestyle. Yeah, high-risk, man. Maybe that's what it's all about. And maybe it's climate change. Yeah. I was about to say that. Took the words out of my mouth.
Starting point is 01:07:59 If only those damn Republicans funded climate change, Coolio would still be alive. Sad, really. Well, now. Oh, actually, let's let's do this. Let's pull up this. Do I have this story? Let me see if I if I still have it.
Starting point is 01:08:12 I might I might not have it. Here we go. Here we go. We got the story here from CBS. Don Lemon tries to pin Hurricane Ian on climate change without evidence. Oh, that's that's an excellent headline from a CBS outlet. Like, seriously. It's a local. Local. Yeah. Well, that's an excellent headline from a CBS outlet. Like, seriously. It's a local outlet.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Local, yeah. Well, of course, of course. So let me play this clip because it's so... Can you tell us what this is and what effect climate change has on this phenomenon? Well, we can come back
Starting point is 01:08:39 and talk about climate change at a later time. I want to focus on the here and now. We think the rapid intensification is probably almost done. There could be a little bit more intensification as it's still over the warm waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, but I don't think we're going to get any more rapid intensification. If you look here you can actually see, pretty interesting for your viewers, you
Starting point is 01:09:00 can actually see a second eye wall forming around the inner eye wall. And that's basically the second eye wall has overtaken the original eye wall. And that should arrest development. Listen, I'm just trying to get that you said you want to talk about climate change. But what effect does climate change have on this phenomenon that is happening now? Because it seems these storms are intensifying. That's the question. I don't think you can link climate change to any one event on the whole on the cumulative the climate change uh
Starting point is 01:09:30 may be making storms worse uh but uh to link it to any one event um i would caution against that okay well they listen i grew up there and these storms are intensifying something is causing them to intensify so this storm is just a massive one. It's affecting... Trust the science, they said, as Don Lemon goes. I'm talking to a scientist, but I have personal anecdotal experience and I think the storms are worse. How does that fit into
Starting point is 01:09:55 my talking point? I have a talking point and what you're saying doesn't fit with it, so can you take what you're saying and fit it into my script that I wrote for you? Can you recommend another scientist to speak to? Because I'm not trusting your science. He's like, that guy's never coming back on ever again. I mean, Don Lemon's not really known for his intelligence. He prophesied and theorized how a black hole swallowed the Malaysian airplane just a few years ago. So we're not expecting
Starting point is 01:10:23 much from him. I'm not, at least. That was funny when he did that. And the lady, I made a little video about it years ago. He's talking to this woman, and he's like, you know, a lot of people online are saying that the plane may have been swallowed by a black hole.
Starting point is 01:10:37 I know it's preposterous, but is it preposterous, Mary? And the woman goes, oh, your plane, a small black hole would swallow the whole universe. My gosh. She actually says a small black hole would swallow the whole universe gosh she actually says a small black hole would swallow the whole universe and it's just like lady there's like a billion black holes or whatever like that we can see no but snopes did a fact check on that and it's actually it's true a small black hole would
Starting point is 01:11:00 actually yes no well snopes did a fact check so there's a super massive black hole the center of the milky way galaxy as far as we as we believe and uh universe still exists so you know whatever but that's don lemon and then when i when i brought that up i've had people defend him over that and they're like well you know he's just trying to do a show and i'm like what yo if i get a couple of stoners and sit them down and they're sitting there with big twirly mustaches being like, Dude, what if a black hole ate a plane? I'd be like, all right, this is a good show. Let's order some pizzas, get some sodas, and just let it roll because this is funny.
Starting point is 01:11:36 But when CNN, the most trusted name in news, is doing things like that, I got to say, you know, maybe your brand ain't all what it's cracked up to be. This clip is amazing because what did he try three times? He's like, how does climate change play Royals? It doesn't. And he goes, well, you know, but climate change. And he's like, no, no climate change. Well, I live there.
Starting point is 01:11:59 So climate change. Yeah. I don't want to know about, I don't want to know about I don't want to know about the hurricane I want to know why hurricanes are getting bigger because of climate change why can't you answer my question do we have issues like this I know that the liberal left, democrat types
Starting point is 01:12:16 it's like fascism, white supremacy, climate change they can easily just shout anything like young kids are getting sick and having heart attacks, must be climate change no doubt, I'm not kidding there were articles talking about how are getting sick and having heart attacks. Must be climate change. No, no doubt. I'm not kidding. There were articles talking about how there's an increase in like heart attacks or cardiac events.
Starting point is 01:12:29 And they're like, we think climate change is causing it. And I'm like, whatever, boss. Do we have anything like that? Can I be like Don Lemon asking this question is communism? Can I just accuse everything? Everything's communism. And at the same time uh remember the story it wasn't even a direct trump quote but there was a story that trump asked why we couldn't nuke a hurricane
Starting point is 01:12:53 like a hurricane and and people got upset with him like oh my god why would he do that it's like because he wants to stop a hurricane i mean it's not it's not like a nefarious thing it's not like the nuclear bomb is gonna make the hurricane stronger you know it's like he's trying to stop haven't you seen what is it the core have you seen the core with uh aaron hillary swank i watch a lot of crappy action movies i've seen the core so they go down to the center of the earth and then they have to detonate a bunch of nukes in succession well so i guess the plan was to drop a bunch of nukes and then blow them all up so it starts the core spinning again like okay hold on the core of the earth stopped spinning so like sense yeah the planet's being destroyed because there's no magnetosphere or whatever so they have to like
Starting point is 01:13:36 drill to the center of the earth and then they like they find that the mantle is actually hollow or something i don't know there's dinosaurs or whatever there's no dinosaurs i'm kidding but anyway they get to the core and then they're like they're like, you know, land of the lost. But anyway, they get to the core and they're like, we got to detonate these nukes. And then it will start the spin again and keep the core going, which will generate the magnetic sphere or whatever, and magnetosphere. And then they find out that they actually miscalculated the size. They didn't realize the Earth was hollow. So they don't have enough nuclear power in the warheads to actually spin the core.
Starting point is 01:14:08 So what they do is they deploy them in succession. So it creates a ripple effect. So it was one, two, three, instead of all at once. And that's so maybe Trump was not wrong. A single nuke won't do it. But 12 nukes could one, two, three, four, and then it stops the spin from happening. If 12 nukes could save one human life, then it's worth it.
Starting point is 01:14:31 They did the same thing when he asked if we could drone strike the cartels. And everyone was like, what an idiot he is asking if we can drone strike. It's like, well, we drone strike weddings in the Middle East and no one has a problem with that. Barack Obama's blowing up kids. These guys are making drugs that are killing our citizens and we can drone strike a wedding in the Middle East. Everyone will be silent. But, you know, you want to kill cartel members.
Starting point is 01:14:54 I think the reality is that, like, if we nuked the hurricane, all that would do is make a radioactive hurricane. And it would be like blowing radioactive particles everywhere. And it would just be that much worse. You could surf that, though, for sure. to be like blowing radioactive particles everywhere and it would just be that much worse. No, I think the media- You could surf that though, for sure. I think the media would come out and go, why would he want to do that to that poor hurricane? Why they would just spin it to say like,
Starting point is 01:15:13 you know, he's racist against hurricanes or something. Oh yeah, they'd be like, this is a natural phenomenon. He clearly hates the environment. He just wants to destroy nature. Yeah, mother nature. He's sexist against mother nature. Well, Tim ruined my night because now I have to go home and watch The Core. Yeah, Mother Nature. He's sexist against Mother Nature. Well, Tim ruined my night because now I have to go home and watch The Core.
Starting point is 01:15:28 No, you don't. Yes, I do now. I do. Yes, I do. And who else is in it? It's Hilary Swank. Oh, my God. Is Stanley Tucci in it?
Starting point is 01:15:36 It's an all-star cast. Yeah, and I think somebody died in it, too. Like, they stayed down in The Core while everybody... Yeah, a bunch of them do. I can't remember, you know. Did Bruce Willis have to stay back to save the world? No, he wasn't in it. No, that was the other one.
Starting point is 01:15:46 That was Armageddon. Yeah. But then there's also... Wasn't there another movie that was basically the same as the core? Because they did Armageddon. Oh, no, it was Deep Impact. But that's...
Starting point is 01:15:54 Same time it came out as... Deep Impact was the same as Armageddon, though. Yes. Oh, you're saying there's another core. Yeah, it wasn't Armageddon. Oh, now I have to watch both of them. Well, yeah, you can't watch Armageddon without watching Deep Impact.
Starting point is 01:16:04 Stanley Tucci, Bruce Greenwood, who he was like the captain in Star Trek. Oh. The Star Trek movies. Yeah, Stanley Tucci sacrifices himself. At least those were original ideas in Hollywood, you know? They were like, Paramount's coming out with one about the core now. So we got to come out with one, too. Yeah, what's up with that?
Starting point is 01:16:21 At least it was like original ideas. Now it's just like they're remaking remakes because the other studio is remaking the other remake. Yo, how many Spider-Mens do we have? How many Godzillas have there been? Like Godzilla remakes. It's ridiculous. Cultural stagnation, man.
Starting point is 01:16:36 But at least Spider-Man. That She-Hulk, She-Hulk though. Oh, that's phenomenal. Love it. It's a phenomenal film. It's a series. But it feels like a film. I must have only watched the first episode.
Starting point is 01:16:49 No, no, no, no. Look, I'm a huge MCU fan. I'm a big fan of the MCU. And She-Hulk is some of the worst garbage I've ever seen. Look, I praised the first couple episodes. I was entertaining. She's fighting with the Hulk, and they're talking about superheroes and stuff. The show now is trying to be a lawyer comedy written by people who don't know anything about lawyers.
Starting point is 01:17:12 And it's just really, really bad. The last episode was so bad that I was just clicking skip. I'd click 10-second jump and then they'd be nonsense. 10 seconds, nonsense. 10 seconds, nonsense. And then I was like, okay okay there was no episode here i'll tell you when i like the show starts and she and she looks at the camera and she goes yes this episode is a self-contained wedding episode and i was like okay next it is some of the worst programs and i have to watch both core movies and the entire
Starting point is 01:17:40 season of she-hulk because the worse it is the more more I have to watch it. Oh, it's so bad. And they're dangling Daredevil in front of everybody to convince people to watch it. That's the only thing they got. Oh, Daredevil. Oh, because he's a lawyer. Right. And he's going to be in like episode eight or something. Don't you ever like watching like a $200 million piece of hot garbage though? And you're like, how? Here's what we're doing.
Starting point is 01:17:59 I got it. I'm going to make a new movie and it's about a guy named Andrew who can has the powers of an alpaca oh yeah it's alpaca powers sure and and it's gonna be good because you think about spider-man and it's like one of the hottest marvel properties and it's the stupidest concept for a superhero like if you if you were like it's a guy who can throw he can freeze things it's like okay it's a guy who can throw fireballs like i get it it's a guy who is spider he can climb walls and stuff i'd be like well okay i guess so you know we grew up with it so we think it's normal i think that
Starting point is 01:18:37 if i make alpaca man and you know he's really strong and he's hairy and you know he's like sasquatch or something and he makes sweaters from his sheddings, right? Well, you know, maybe, but like he spits on people. I think Alpaca spit on people, right? Can we have a Wolverine cameo too? Can we do that? And Wolverine's shearing him as like to be polite with his things. He's shearing the hair.
Starting point is 01:18:59 He shoots sweaters out of his hands. All right. Okay. No, you guys are making fun of my idea. How about we do a better one? It's a guy and he can, no, I like the Alpaca thing. I right. Okay. No, you guys are making fun of my idea. How about we do a better one? It's a guy and he, uh, he,
Starting point is 01:19:06 he can, uh, no, I like the alpaca thing. I'm taking it. Here's what I'm saying. I could make, I could make alpaca man and with good story writing,
Starting point is 01:19:15 it would work. And it would be an original idea. We're culturally stagnant. We've got 87 Spider-Man movies, 87 Marvel movies. And now like the whole MCU is just vomiting up old stories from the 50s, 60s, 70s. They're just regurgitating all the same characters again and again and again. It's like someone just make something new.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Just anything. She-Hulk. She-Hulk is not new. She-Hulk is from the 70s. You want to know why? Did you not know that? But She-Hulk hasn't been a property, like a movie property. There's multiple comics.
Starting point is 01:19:48 There's television show arcs. Bro, She-Hulk is a long-standing character. She-Hulk's been on TV. Yes. Really? She-Hulk is a character that's appeared on numerous shows in the Marvel Universe. I did not know that. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:59 Well, like in the comics, obviously. But on cartoons. I think she was in the X-Men Saturday morning cartoon in the 90s and stuff like like that she she hulk is a character that's been around for a long time for decades and they're just saying like let's pull up the old library of things that have been made 50 60 years ago and redo it and i'm just like bro i would rather watch a guy who looks like an alpaca fighting crime it's because china is the biggest market for hollywood now and you know that like transformers 57 just goes off the chart. You're like,
Starting point is 01:20:25 this is why I like Fast and the Furious. Because Fast and the Furious is a relatively new cultural phenomenon. I love Fast. The Fast and the Furious cinematic universe is the greatest
Starting point is 01:20:35 cinematic universe. And you know, they went to outer space in the last one. I talk about this all the time. In F9, they go to outer space. In Hobbs and Shaw,
Starting point is 01:20:42 they got a super soldier cybernetically enhanced. I'm saying in F10, I want to see superpowers In Hobbs and Shaw, they got a super soldier, cybernetically enhanced. I'm saying in F10, I want to see superpowers or maybe mech suits. I saw a comedian on TikTok talk about he was like, I was watching one of the
Starting point is 01:20:57 Fast and Furious movies and they introduced Ludacris' character and he has a garage and his side hustle is that he organizes these races right and then he goes i hadn't really seen everything in the series and i go to like i skipped like to episode nine or ten and there's ludicrous he's like i'm hacking into the pentagon like where how did where did that arc come from like he was a guy in a garage and now you know you know where You know where the arc, it all changed.
Starting point is 01:21:25 I think it was Fast Five when they're taking the plane off the runway. And it's like a 30-minute scene. And it takes 30 minutes for the plane to take off. And you're just like, okay, the suspension of disbelief is like, this has been 30 minutes that they've been on this runway. It makes no sense. These movies are, they're so over the top and so ridiculous. But there's just something
Starting point is 01:21:45 about them that make them entertaining. Yeah, Vin Diesel's biceps. Here's what we do. Here's what we do. For F10, they have mech suits and Ludacris is like, you know, Dom is like, we got a problem. You know, my brother is joined up with my other brother and my sister and now they're taking over the world. And he's like, I don't know how we stop him.
Starting point is 01:22:02 And Ludacris is like, I got you. And he built a mech suit, like an Iron Man suit. And then Dom is like, he can fly. And he's like, you't know how we stop him and lucas is like i got you and he builds a mech suit like an iron man suit and then dom is like he can fly and he's like you know and then they all get mech suits and then what happens is for f11 you know he's wearing the new experimental armor from ludicrous and while he's fighting a group of terrorists there's damage to the fusion core which which blows up causing a chain reaction and all the suits erupt but the energy from the core gives them all superpowers and now you know now he can actually just run faster than his dodge charger yeah now he's got super speeds was like you want to race and then he's like gotta go fast and then what we do is we started we started a button yeah we got to get disney to buy universal so we can
Starting point is 01:22:40 introduce them into the mcu and then we'll have an original new thing over. Okay, how about this? We just start making movies that don't suck. We're doing it. No. I'm waiting for Trans Hulk, okay? It's going to come in the next few years and there's going to be microaggressions and they're going to Hulk out
Starting point is 01:23:02 and it's going to be awesome to see and I'm waiting for that movie. Did you just miss Jeremy? Let's put this story here talking about culture. We got this from IndieWire. It's weirdly hard to read. Stranger Things star what's his name? Caleb.
Starting point is 01:23:18 Caleb? It's cut off by the thing. McLaughlin calls out fan racism. Why am I the least favorite? You feel the bigotry McLaughlin said out fan racism. Why am I the least favorite? You feel the bigotry, McLaughlin said. Sometimes it's hard to talk about and for people to understand, but when I was younger, it definitely affected me a lot. First, I want to point out, here's what he said. He said, why am I the least favorite?
Starting point is 01:23:36 Have the least amount of followers? He said, as a part of a deep conversation. I'm on the same show as everybody from season one. So, like, the dude has less followers than his co-co-co-stars so he immediately sues his face people don't like him because he's black now in that capacity right there i saw this story and a lot of other people saw the story and they started saying like oh this is wokeness is a problem and then i read further and i realized he is 100 correct i believe the reason he has less followers is because many fans
Starting point is 01:24:05 of the show are in fact racist and hit the nail on the head with a hammer. And you know what? You want to know what's missing from the context in this conversation? He says sometimes overseas you feel the racism. You feel the bigotry. Sometimes it's hard to talk about and for people to understand. But when I was younger, it definitely affected
Starting point is 01:24:21 me a lot. That's right. Outside of the United States, there's probably a lot of people who won't follow them because they are racist you take a look at what happened with star wars in china and they took the dude who played finn off the cover where they shrink him or something or put him in a helmet they put him in a helmet they put him in a helmet because they were like people in china are very very racist and they don't want to see this and so the disney as a corporation was like yeah we're totally fine with that that to me is insane but this dude's seemingly not talking about people in america he's saying like i got less followers than them yeah it's probably people in china and other
Starting point is 01:24:55 countries that would watch stranger things but are racist so there you go man you know i'm on his uh instagram page right now it doesn't't look like he posts a lot. And he already, as of now, has 15.4 million followers. Why does he have more followers than me? It's because people don't like mixed race people. That is the only possible explanation. That's it. I can't believe only 15 million people would follow him.
Starting point is 01:25:21 That's 15.4. Unreal. He's one of the most famous people in the world. And he's like, he's like, man, people overseas don't like me as much as my other cast members. And he's not that active.
Starting point is 01:25:34 What a victim. Like he, he posted on July 30th, September 9th, isn't that what September 12th, September 16th, September 18th. And that's it.
Starting point is 01:25:42 That's all the posts. Wait, did he, maybe he deleted some or something so this is inadvertently making the case that America is in fact
Starting point is 01:25:51 the greatest country on earth we're more enlightened exactly but that's why people don't want you to like so if you're saying that America is an
Starting point is 01:25:58 inherently racist country can you find me one that isn't exactly that's a good question well if America is the least racist country but it is, then every country is substantially worse and more racist. There you go. Bingo.
Starting point is 01:26:11 You got it. That's it. But you're not allowed to say that, so this show is shut down. That'll be it. You know, America is a great place. That's why everybody desperately wants to be here. Correct. And then, you know what's funny?
Starting point is 01:26:23 As we're seeing these videos, there's a video went viral that uh jack posobic was sharing about this like white woman and she's like hi everybody i moved down to guatemala to be part of a sustainable living community and then she's like spinning and like there's like she goes to active volcano and then i saw that and i was like is this why woke people don't like white people because like it's it's a really annoying thing to have these like hippie man bun you know uh like elitists be like i'm gonna move down to guatemala to teach the poor people and it's just like go yeah is that what they were talking about because i gotta i gotta agree that is annoying for these people to do but it's funny because you have white people leaving the u.s going to mexico and
Starting point is 01:27:03 going to central america at the same time you you have people from Central America trying to come to the United States. So it's kind of funny how that works out. I just can't stop thinking about this kid. He wants to be a victim so bad. He's a millionaire. He's on a hit series. 15.4 million people follow him. And yet he's like, it's not enough.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Like, you really need to, I mean, you know, it's a quote from an article, you know, maybe there's more to this kid. But, you know, Caleb, if you're listening, just appreciate what you have, you know, and don't. Don't get caught up in the numbers. Yeah, don't get caught up in what you don't have and how other people think about you. Appreciate the fact that 15.4 million kids like you and love you and that you're a millionaire and you're probably set for life.
Starting point is 01:27:55 That you could reach out to and have a positive impact on by promoting personal responsibility, good values, good morals, and you could lead as an example of something good, rather than, of course, just concentrating on something that is negative. And I think there is an aspect of society promoting victimization, promoting, as you mentioned, Andrew, this larger idea, hey, I'm the victim here. And now you have to really like my stuff on social media. And the
Starting point is 01:28:22 algorithms promote that stuff. And I think it's's disgusting I think it should be pushed back on because in reality like we're some of the most privileged one of the richest people on the face of the world just by simply living here in the United States we're so frickin not just in the world in human history yeah yeah and I'm in history so freaking lucky everything at our fingertips and if you want something go out there and get it there shouldn't be anything standing in your way but that's hard i just looked up to do i looked i looked at the net worth like hard of this the cast of stranger things the first thing i want to say is these like celebrity net worth websites are just very wrong like oh yeah of
Starting point is 01:28:58 course one of them said like ian was worth like five million dollars or whatever and we were all kind of like like 10 million but whatever but no we were all kind of like- It's like 10 million, but whatever. But no, we were kind of like, maybe there's something we're not- Dude, that graphene, he's got those. Yeah. I mean, he's a co-founder of Minds and Minds is worth a lot. So like maybe it wasn't wrong,
Starting point is 01:29:12 but I'm like, I'm pretty sure this stuff's not true. But anyway, it says that Caleb McLaughlin's net worth is $4 million. And there's another person, let me pull this back up, whose net worth is only $1 million. I think it's one, I think, is it Maya? Aren't all those like AI generated websites that are- No, this is a different one. This net worth is only $1 million. I think it's one. I think, is it Maya?
Starting point is 01:29:27 Aren't all those like AI generated websites that are? No, this is a different one. This is Netflix Life. Oh, okay. But it did look at those websites and then compile them. But let's see. Joe Keery's $4 million. Charlie Heaton's $5 million.
Starting point is 01:29:38 I mean, okay, here you go. Sadie Sink is worth a million bucks. But she's new. Right, she's new. Right, yeah. But so anyway, my point is i don't know what their net worth actually is but i'm pretty sure everyone on this show is a millionaire and so there is something special about a group of millionaires and the and the not even the lowest millionaire is complaining about not having enough and there's just something where it's like
Starting point is 01:29:58 i don't i don't know how i'm supposed to feel about that you know what i mean like it's a big group of ultra rich people on a very successful and popular show and one dude's like i'm the least favorite it's not okay and it's like well you're still like literally in the top thousand richest people on the planet or something like that i mean how many million not a thousand this shouldn't even be a news story it's like oh well people overseas don't like me so much okay and that's it like wow but he does mention that people wouldn't get in line for him at comic-con some people didn't stand in my line because i was black some people told me i don't want to be in your line because you were mean to 11.
Starting point is 01:30:36 how does this happen right i mean like no i mean this for real like did somebody come to him and tell him that just like say racist things to him they wouldn't get in like i mean what's what's the proof oh but i i mean it makes tons of sense somebody gets in line they wait for 20 minutes and they get up to him and say he just want to let you know like me and my friends you know didn't want to get in line because of your race right that's that's do you remember that byu story from a couple weeks ago no we're talking about player yeah yeah it was like yeah that got a ton of clicks and then the you know the the real story is that nobody wants to hear that. So I think that's the point.
Starting point is 01:31:08 It's like, hey, how do you keep yourself relevant? How do you get in the headlines? Well, just why don't you go say something controversial that's going to get both sides to click on these websites. And to talk about you and follow you on social media. Yeah. And this worked. And this kid, he's going to absolutely get sympathy subscribers. It's like, oh, I really like him and I should have probably followed him.
Starting point is 01:31:28 I don't want to be a racist, so I'm going to click follow on this guy. But he's like a B-list actor. He's not like – I mean, when you compare him to Finn Wolfhard or Millie Bobby Brown, I mean, they're like the breakout stars of that show. He's not. And maybe it's because of his character, the way it's written or whatever. Millie Bobby Brown. I mean, they're like the breakout stars of that show. He's not. And maybe it's because of his character, the way it's written or whatever. But it's like if you go to Comic-Con, like there's not a lot of time.
Starting point is 01:31:58 You have to look at the list and see the agenda, like who's going to be there. And you kind of map out and you go, okay, I really want to meet this person. I want to meet this person. And he wouldn't, like if I was a kid, if I i was a stranger things fan i i don't know if he'd be in my top 20 honestly here's what i'll say about stranger things though mad respect for something original you know it is original they stole that from the montauk project no i know but the montauk he's right richie is absolutely right people right the montauk project was written what like 93 or something let me see um this this one yeah let me see let's see what's the year this is i think the second Project was written in what, like 93 or something? Let me see. This one? Yeah, let me see it. Let's see. What's the year?
Starting point is 01:32:29 This is, I think the second one was written somewhere in the early 90s. 89 or something? It was 92. 92. I was close. I was close. And again, I have nothing against this kid. I don't know anything about his personal life, but he's not one of the breakout stars of the show.
Starting point is 01:32:41 The Montauk Project is fake news, and it's made to look real, and it's very clever and very well done, but my understanding is it's total fiction. And I did a bunch of research into it a while ago. We're going to have to have a debate on this sometime. It looks like a Mark Dice book. So I did a bunch of research into it, and it's considered to be...
Starting point is 01:33:02 The story behind it is that they wanted to make a book that overlapped with reality and it would sell better and be marketed as something real. But it was just like a fun, shocking story. Who, Preston Nichols? I don't know. I don't know. That's what I read. So maybe it's not true.
Starting point is 01:33:15 Maybe it's all real. You can watch interviews with this guy, Preston Nichols. I mean, he's a nutty dude, but he definitely knows like radios and frequencies and all that stuff. And when he talks about how he participated in this project, he draws diagrams. My point is Stranger Things is inspired by the Montauk Project, but it's an original concept with characters and the upside down, the reality. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, I agree. I think the show's bad.
Starting point is 01:33:42 The last season was just miserably terrible, but I like it because they're doing something new you know like what do we got now we got a prequel of game of thrones a prequel of lord of the rings we get more marvel derivative garbage and it's just like you know what it all happened what you know when it all started when i think 1997 was seven years in tibet and they banned that movie from china and i think it was mgm that produced it they'd lost hundreds of millions of dollars. And after that, it was like a message to Hollywood. Like, yo, our market's huge. And it better appeal to us as well as the American audience, as well as, you know.
Starting point is 01:34:13 So now it's a global market that you're going for. That's an argument for making new things, not for regurgitating. No, because it has to be homogenized to the point where you know it's going to work across a broad population. Right, which makes sense that you could write something new to work across the world. No, because then you don't know how it's going to do. You're like, Transformers 67 did great, so let's just do 68 and 69. Well, of course, but that's not... Well, let's put a Chinese actress in there to appeal to China so we can get like...
Starting point is 01:34:39 How do the Chinese feel about this new idea? They're like, I have no clue. That was Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi was very obviously like they were trying to break into the Chinese feel about this new idea? They're like, I have no clue. That was Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi was very obviously like they were trying to break into the Chinese market because the movie had no reason to be in San Francisco at all. Did you guys see it, Shang-Chi? I don't watch Chinese propaganda. Whatever. It's like all of Hollywood now.
Starting point is 01:34:58 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But it was like you wonder why it is this guy was in San Francisco at all. It's like the story is very much centered around china and then the main character is like i'm in san francisco not for some reason and now we're going back to china and they go to like portal to another reality with like i don't know pandas or something and then there's like that's what they do with dr strange too right they they change the tibetan character yeah that was so this is really funny i have to watch
Starting point is 01:35:21 the core and yeah shang chi i do so so before she got a lot of work cut out yeah so there's this meme going around because of the aerial thing where they made the aerials portrayed by a black actress and so they uh there's a meme where it's a bunch of non-white characters that were played by white actors and they were like no one cared no one cared no one cared and then it shows the the screaming woe jack when it shows aerial and they were like, no one cared, no one cared, no one cared. And then it shows the screaming Wojak when it shows Ariel. And they were like, the meme basically says like, nobody cares when white actors play characters of color. And it showed the ancient one in the comic, Tibetan guy. And then it showed Tilda Swinton.
Starting point is 01:35:56 And then I had to tell people like, whenever I see the meme, I'm like, actually, the fans were really upset that they got a white woman to play that. Because the reason they got rid of the ancient one was not because of racism was because they're trying to appease china and china didn't want a tibetan guy and so everyone everyone all of a sudden is like there you go oh that actually makes sense why like okay so what you mean the fans really were mad about that yeah like but like while you're explaining that they tuned into like the next tiktok video and they're like wait what'd you say sorry i didn't hear that And then they started doing a weird meme dance. And then in China, they'd ban that stuff. But they always complain about like, oh, you know, they always say that all the people are racist if you, you know, you gender swap or if you race swap.
Starting point is 01:36:40 Nobody cares. Like Sam Jackson as Nick Fury. Where was the outrage there well robert downey junior dude robert downey junior he's still he's he's not fury in the comics he did uh was made black a long time tropic thunder but he but he was white originally and i think and the same thing with the the fantastic four i hear that they're that they're looking to possibly make it an all black cast when uh when the last fantastic four they had they swapped out johnny johnny storm with michael b jordan right but i think the uh the latest news
Starting point is 01:37:11 on fantastic four is they're going to get um uh what's her name daddario and her brother alexandria daddario and her is that her name dark dark or something but i don't know whatever but her and her brother are going to play susan storm that's what that's what the rumor is so you know whatever uh what's that guy's name john krasinski yeah okay i think he did he did he did great as reed richards but i guess they're not going to use him i don't know i kind of i kind of feel like he looks great it it he looks he looks like i know reed richards but he's a he's a good character anyway he's a good actor but i i gotta be honest i think the mcu is just completely done it's just become regurgitated derivative garbage at this point it had something unique when they were like reinvigorating these stories like iron man and captain america and thor i think endgame was the endgame i think after that
Starting point is 01:37:55 it's just been like like black widow was awful oh yeah i mean it was there's uh i can't remember who did it i'm really sorry but there was there's'm really sorry. It feels like it's a five-hour breakdown of this movie showing every tiny little thing that's wrong with it. And it's brilliant. I can't remember who did it. But I watched the last Spider-Man movie. And I've kind of given up. I didn't think about watching Thor. I didn't watch Doctor Strange.
Starting point is 01:38:26 I was never going to watch She-Hulk. Well, they're not telling original stories. They're not. I like Doctor Strange. It's a movie. It's an origin story. It's a guy who's doing his thing. Sure.
Starting point is 01:38:38 Doctor Strange 2 is Avengers. Like Thor Avengers. It's all just Avengers now. It's all like here's 27 characters all dancing on stage. It's just more of a video game than a movie. Like, how much of that movie is CGI versus like, you look at the budget, and then you look at the credits, and there's like 20 actors and like 600 animators.
Starting point is 01:38:53 And the only reason I would actually watch it is because it's Sam Raimi directing, but that's it. We gotta go to Super Chats because we're way behind.

Starting point is 01:39:07 faster faster alright Jack Attack says the hurricane is worse than I thought it's knocked out the power grid in Cuba thousands are without power in Florida but worse than that the Waffle Houses have closed
Starting point is 01:39:17 that's what I said that's true it's cereal now everybody's like Tim move to Florida Tim move to Florida that's when you know it's serious and then I'm like
Starting point is 01:39:24 yeah okay maybe you know Raymondmond g stanley jr says broken brain biden totally unawares broken bane broken bane broken brain biden fell up the stairs all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put biden's broken brain back together again thanks for that one it's kind of sad when you hear it like that yeah there you go how is nobody asking about luke's cans what are we talking about oh yeah i'm sorry b robertson says enjoyed the debate about hatred on monday i wrote a book called in defense of hatred what people who reject hatred fail to realize that there is no love with the possibility of hatred oxytocin is tied with both. Very interesting. Passion. Passion. Deserto says, Little Hand says, it's time to rock and roll.
Starting point is 01:40:13 Brandon Hampton says, Luke got a breast reduction. That was a point break quote. Now I can finally pay attention to what Tim is saying. Oh, okay. Yes. Daniel Kaven says, glad to see the Inflation Reduction Act worked on Luke. Yeah, really. Not Bob Saget says, please book Alex Jones and Immortal Technique
Starting point is 01:40:30 together on the same show. Would go down as a top three show of all time. It would be a great debate. I think they already interviewed each other. Debate? They argue? Well, they come from different perspectives, but they had a cordial sit down
Starting point is 01:40:44 and a conversation that it was very interesting between the two. And I held the rally with some of my friends in 2006, and it was me, Immortal Technique, Alex Jones, and the makers of Loose Change. We were all at the fifth anniversary at Ground Zero together, and we held an event that raised money for not alone first responders so shouts out to immortal technique he always did a lot of grassroots work helping a lot of uh people who needed a lot of help he's helping a lot a lot of people now check out a lot of his projects that he's doing and i think he would be great for the show and it would it might even be a debate which would be interesting boris kafififievich says Lydia's expression at Luke's quote,
Starting point is 01:41:26 clapping butt cheeks comment was worth every penny of the super chat. I didn't notice that. Unnecessary description. By the way, that quote that was just read from Point Break is actually the quote that's on the back of my shirt right now. What is the quote? Little Hands says it's time to rock and roll. Well, there you go.
Starting point is 01:41:44 Richie's movie. Why does it say 2018 on your shirt? We do a different one every year with a different quote. Pina Shea's Helicopter Tour says, Tim, the word you're looking for is demoralization. Lizzo mocking the flute is just part of what Yuri Bezmenov warned us about. This was purposeful. No, someone also said it's defile.
Starting point is 01:42:02 No, defile? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was maybe better. I don't know if, I think demoralization is the bigger picture. You know, taking items significant to your country's history and then bring it up on stage as a spectacle
Starting point is 01:42:16 in an entertainment show where it's just like, it diminishes it, you know. Yeah, demoralization. Cheeseburger says it's over, folks. Those who wanted to fix it are demoralized while the rest of our brothers and sisters are all cheering as the train approaches the cliff.
Starting point is 01:42:34 I don't know about that. Do you feel demoralized? No. Nope. I feel uplifted. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't feel demoralized. I feel like all of this stuff
Starting point is 01:42:44 is actually lighting a fire of passion. Yes, exactly. Yeah, I don't feel demoralized. I feel like all of this stuff is actually lighting a fire of passion. Yes, exactly. Yeah. So just go down and inhale a gunfire. But I won't be demoralized. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I feel like a lot of what we're seeing, it's not...
Starting point is 01:42:58 Like I used to, when I was younger, I'd say like, don't bother voting, stuff like that. Like, who cares? But now I'm like, everyone, you got to get out. You got to vote. This is... I'm more passionate about this stuff than ever ye 24 2024 you voted for kanye yes i did i'm going i'm i'm thinking about it for 24 you're on defense he has a he has a good couple good uh policy positions i'm considering so bp 23 says james medicine owned slaves he was a slave owner right yet she was so honored to play his flute. Seems odd.
Starting point is 01:43:25 Congrats, Lizzo. You played the same notes he played to his slaves. Checking my head. Was he a slave owner, though? I'd assume he probably was, but maybe not. Someone want to fact check that? I like that story. I think we go with it.
Starting point is 01:43:37 I like that. But they would argue that she's appropriated. She's taken it from him. Yeah, she's taken it back. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. She also, you know, people are saying two things. appropriate that she's taken it from him yeah she's taking it back yeah yeah yeah well there you go she also she also you know people there's people are saying two things they're saying she
Starting point is 01:43:49 played the flute she didn't really she like tooted the flute and then gave it back some people are saying she doesn't know how to play a flute actually she apparently she's like a trained she does yeah she's a flouted did you say floutist yeah that's it yeah right yeah yeah it's floutist yeah i was i i think she's a floutist in that the way she flouts but you know i guess there's two different definitions yes viola says i asked my parents if things have ever been this bad and they said never they're both 84 years old that's what i'm saying man so does that mean they lived through world war ii because if so that's a little concerning they they would be very young that's that little concerning. As kids. That is a concern.
Starting point is 01:44:26 Yeah, but we're talking about in the United States with the conflict. People, obviously, in the Civil War would be like, oh, I remember. But those people aren't alive anymore. Although, it'll be really interesting in the future when people are going to... It's going to be like 2163, and they're going to be like,
Starting point is 01:44:42 man, it's so bad in this country. Has it ever been this bad? Let's pull up the old podcast archives from TimCast IRL and figure it out. We're just basically a time capsule for everything. It's like you become a prophet like 100 years from now. It's like,
Starting point is 01:44:57 he was saying that the Civil War was coming and it finally came and there was a small band of TimCasters that were prepared. But here's what would be funnier if it's like a hundred years in the future and they're like in his old age
Starting point is 01:45:09 the crackpot was still adamant the Civil War which never did come was coming and it's a clip of me going I'm telling you it's coming any day now
Starting point is 01:45:16 and it's just like this ratty old hut with like this Your beanie's got like six holes in it. It's coming it's coming and then someone walks in like okay grandpa time to take your medicine and I'm like oh I like my medicine Your beanie's got like six holes in it. It's coming. It's coming.
Starting point is 01:45:27 And then someone walks in like, okay, grandpa, time to take your medicine. And I'm like, oh, I like my medicine. For your pudding. Like, grandpa, there's no more cameras around. They haven't been there for 40 years. Well, how would they show it to the school children in the future? It's like they took away your show when you said that joke about Pfizer. Well, it's like the Timcast hologram or whatever it is in the future. Like Tupac.
Starting point is 01:45:48 Yeah. Tim's still doing shows. But he's not around. It's actually just AI. Wikipedia is saying James Madison had a population of over 100 slaves. Yeah, he did own slaves. That's a lot. That's a lot. In Virginia. I just gotta say, if there's one thing
Starting point is 01:46:03 that ever made me think it's not a good idea to be a public figure, is that they're going to turn you into an AI creepo robot in the future. They're going to create Android bodies. They're going to create an AI of you from all of your social media. Then they're going to put it in the robot. And then there's going to be a weird facsimile of you walking around. And it's just so creepy. Do you think it's going to be weird if kids will basically be able to know exactly who
Starting point is 01:46:30 their grandparents, great-grandparents were? It's crazy, right? There's all these... But it's not just that. It's that when you think of your grandparents, you think of old people. And then you see these old photos of them when they were young. You're like, wow. What's going to happen now is...
Starting point is 01:46:44 It's even happening right now. It's crazy to like looking at a celebrity today who's maybe like 50 years old and seeing them in a movie. And then being like, you know, 20 years ago I didn't watch their films. And going back and seeing them as a young person. It's like this is, with high definition footage and cell phones, it's becoming more and more ubiquitous. Here's where we're headed, though. They're already talking about taking your Facebook and using all the information about you to create an AI that can simulate who you were, answer questions even about what
Starting point is 01:47:17 you thought, what you felt. They can then put that into a robot body. And so your grandchildren, like your dad and your 30 year old grandchild is like you know my grandpa passed away a few years ago so we built a 24 year old version compiled his facebook from when he was 24 to create his 24 year old persona and then here's a robot of him and here's a robot and then all of a sudden this robot it's not really you there's no soul but to other people they see you going like where am i i was i was just in in harper's ferry what's going on it's like grandfather i'm your grandchild like whoa and then it's like there's weird robot versions of you
Starting point is 01:47:51 and it could be like any they could they could take they could say how old do you want your grandfather to be oh let's do a 35 then they grab your social media profile from 35 and younger and they take all that data into an ai and say, well, let's make him 40. Okay, we'll grab five more years, throw it in the mix. That's how crazy it's going to be. Oh, and I do have a fact check for you. Lizzo actually did play
Starting point is 01:48:12 a little song on the flute. Oh, she did? She didn't just toot it? I thought she tooted it and then handed it back. Yeah, so she's wearing a different outfit in this one. She's wearing like a black shirt
Starting point is 01:48:19 and black pants and that's when she does twerk while she's playing this flute. So she is a flautist. We played the video of her twerking and then yelling. I just twerked. No, it wasn't So she is a flautist. We played the video of her twerking and then yelling. I just twerked. No, it wasn't that. We played the video of her doing it. They hand her the
Starting point is 01:48:29 crystal flute. She toots it. But there was another video of her... Wasn't in concert or was it like at the National Archives? It was at the National Archives. Oh, I see. So in the National Archives, she's twerking and playing this historical flute.
Starting point is 01:48:46 And I'm just grossed out. Yeah, I liken it to it's not just an action figure. Action figures have value to people. But this is a historical artifact that she basically ripped out of the packaging. And now it's no longer been the pristine crystal artifact. It's just. This is like taking the Betsy Ross flag and doing a strip tease with it. Well, she played the flute.
Starting point is 01:49:07 I don't like the stage performance thing because I think that was like the twerking stuff. But she actually twerked again at the thing. Yeah, she twerked in the National Archives. I twerked in the National Archives. Classy. So gross. Classy woman. Okay, what if Anthony Kiedis went up there and played the flute?
Starting point is 01:49:21 What do you think the reaction would have been? I mean, my attitude is the same. I't care like it's it's i i'm not a fan i i i think that's just me man i i you'll notice this too for people who know me i have a bunch of artifacts i've got a civil war rifle it's an actual union rifle rifled musket it's it's real oh you're you're telling me you like art you've showed me every sweet sword in here. And I love those things. Yeah. But, you know, so across the room, I have a union.
Starting point is 01:49:50 So I bought an antique shop. I have a collection that I recently acquired of Life Magazine going back. I have the first magazine, the first edition of Life Magazine officially that was published. It used to be Life used to be they reformatted. It was purchased and they turned it into Life and I went to a few antique stores, I found hundreds of them
Starting point is 01:50:09 and it's amazing to be able to read what people thought or were being told a month before D-Day. Because you know what they were saying? The US has sent armaments to the UK as a defensive measure. Oh really?
Starting point is 01:50:20 Is that what they did? Well now we know the truth. So reading that perspective of what they actually thought at the time, why did they vote? What did they vote for? It's amazing. It's amazing. So I go to antique stores.
Starting point is 01:50:30 I'm like, this is incredible. It's like preserving the ideas, the memories, and the context of the past. For me, if somebody tore a page out of an old book from the 1800s to use as a Kleenex, I'd be pissed off. If somebody was using an old book from the 1800s as a Kleenex, I'd be pissed off. If somebody was using an old book from the 1800s as a window stopper, I'd be pissed off. To see somebody, anybody, be handed a flute that's never been played before,
Starting point is 01:50:54 owned by the fourth president, and be like, twerk with it, baby! Even if it was some other rock star or some other famous person or Kenny G, whoever, I'd be like, dude, it's like watching. It's worse than someone tearing open, you know, an original Star Wars action figure. Like that's just some cultural item. This is actually in the presidential archives.
Starting point is 01:51:13 It's the history of this country. Yeah, it's our collective culture too. But outside, this flute doesn't have anything with our culture. We didn't even know about it. That's not what I'm talking about. Okay, but she played the flute. If she just played the flute and didn't work,
Starting point is 01:51:28 and maybe she would... But a flute's meant to be played, right? So, no. I have a rifled musket that's never been fired before. If someone were to fire that, it would ruin it. It'd be ruined.
Starting point is 01:51:43 This is... No one's ever even dry-fired this. It came out of an armory. It was produced for the Union. It'd be ruined. This is, no one's ever even dry fired this. It came out of an armory. It was produced for the union. It was never used, never given to anyone. Eventually, someone went in and they just dispersed these, people started collecting these items and they were handed off. And this one found its way to an antique shop
Starting point is 01:51:58 and it's got the certification and all that jazz. No one's ever dry fired it. That would alter it. Right now, if you want to see to the best of our of of our understanding what this thing looked like and how it responded before it's even been fired once it's here if someone were to load it and fire it now it's got damage to it now it's got residue in placed in it and it's and it's not even from the same era it's just like dude i think i i don't know man that, man. That's just me. That's just me.
Starting point is 01:52:25 That's right. I mean, that's what's happening with all the founding fathers is that the reverence that we had for them is now being not only called into question, but thrown right into the garbage. So I think you're right that it is kind of a meme for what's actually happening across our culture. I just really love like mementos and relics and curios and things like that. Whenever I would cover a news story, I would always take a piece of that story back with me.
Starting point is 01:52:52 So I have, I don't know where they are, but I had fragments of the Lenin statue. They were just bits on the ground of marble that were from the shattered ground. And I had like two little pieces. I think they're gone. I don't know where they are. But I have police tape from when the two officers were executed by the black nationalists in Brooklyn. It happened on're gone. I don't know where they are. But I have police tape from when the two officers were executed by the black nationalists in Brooklyn. It happened on the street where I live. So I walked outside my house and I saw the police tape ripped from when they
Starting point is 01:53:12 closed it off 10 feet from my house. So I went up and I took a piece of it. And I said, this is from that moment. I have the newspaper from when Darren Wilson was acquitted leading to the riots in Ferguson. I have an armband from the Thai protests. I collect these things because they're representations of the thing that happened of a piece of history. So that's just me. I collected riot munitions. Yeah, I've got from France. I've got shells.
Starting point is 01:53:36 I keep all those things. They're proof that something happened. That's not a story. It's this thing exists because of this moment in history. And I agree. I agree exactly what you said with the rifle. And I agree with those things that are part of a moment in time. I just don't think that the flute, what does the flute represent?
Starting point is 01:53:59 Like what moment in time does the flute represent? It was probably just a gift. And it's like, here you go, Mr. President. And he never played it exactly that right that's but but you know somebody's blowing air into a flute i don't i don't think is is i think it's very different than than uh taking a rifle that's that's as pristine as that one and shooting around i like i understand what you're saying i get that and i agree with that there was once a flute that had never been played. It no longer exists. It's gone.
Starting point is 01:54:27 And? And I think that's a bad thing. But I don't think it was destroyed. There's nothing. The flute wasn't hurt. The idea of the pristine crystal flute has been destroyed. Yes, it's gone. Such an item no longer exists.
Starting point is 01:54:40 There is no longer an unplayed flute that was owned by James Madison. Now there is a flute that was played by Lizzo who twerked with it. Okay, and again, if she didn't twerk, if she just went in and played it like a normal person, or like the Yo-Yo Ma equivalent of the flutist.
Starting point is 01:54:57 I assume you just can't understand. No, no, no, I do understand. I'm saying ideas exist. An object exists. What is the object that is defined as an unplayed crystal flute owned by the fourth president of the United States? That is gone now. Now what remains is a crystal flute that was played by Lizzo on stage who twerked that
Starting point is 01:55:19 was previously owned by James Madison. It was taken from the Library of Congress and given to her on stage where she joked about twerking with it and it's just like there is no longer an unplayed flute. You know what I mean? It's gone. Alright, let's read some more. Daniel Turnka says,
Starting point is 01:55:36 How about we make a movie parodying the life of Olivia Wilde while she's satirizing the life of Jordan Peterson? Was it a satire where she was making a comedy about Jordan Peterson? Is that what it was? It's hard for me to tell these things. Wasn't it really bad? Sometimes I watch movies now and can't tell.
Starting point is 01:55:49 It was the number one movie this last weekend. It was? I heard it got panned by the left. It wasn't super critically acclaimed. I think it has like a 60-something on Metacritic. But it was the number one movie. I watched the movies with the lowest critic rating, but the highest disparity between what the critics think and what the number one. I watched the movies with the lowest critic rating, but the highest disparity between what the critics think
Starting point is 01:56:07 and what the audience thinks. But she doesn't have any moral high ground to stand on anyway. I mean, you know, with the whole thing with leaving Jason Sudeikis for Harry Styles, you know, like that whole thing. So screw what she thinks, honestly. All right. Cornelius Buttknuckle says, Nick Ricada hit the nail on the head when he pointed out
Starting point is 01:56:29 that the She-Hulk show is exactly what you'd expect from a Marvel show if it was written by a bunch of early to mid-30s wine moms. Yes. Now I really have to see it. So there was a story that the Pop Culture Crisis crew was talking about. Who was it from? Charlie's Angels? Someone.
Starting point is 01:56:46 Oh, yeah. We just talked about that today. Yeah. Elizabeth Banks. She was she regretted that it was marketed to only towards girls or whatever. And I just got to I just got to wonder about this. Do women feel inspired or powerful watching women fight, hunt, box, kill, maim and things like that? Like on average.
Starting point is 01:57:06 I know some women do. But I'm wondering, like, Charlie's Angels bombed, am I understanding this right? It did, it did. And that's what she was saying, like, well, they only market it towards the girls,
Starting point is 01:57:13 but didn't she say something like it's for girls, don't watch it, or whatever? She literally said, if you're a white male, don't watch my movie, it isn't for you. And then she turned around
Starting point is 01:57:22 and said, why aren't white men watching my movie? They're all just sexist. But I'm wondering if there's a thing where it's like men on average are like, I like the adventure and the conflict. And women on average are like, I like the social interactions and the personal development. Also, aren't those characteristics that you're describing what would also describe toxic masculinity? Well, I suppose to a certain degree, but it depends.
Starting point is 01:57:44 If it's like a firefighter saving a bag of puppies, that's not toxic masculinity well i suppose to a certain degree but it depends if if it's like a firefighter you know saving a bag of puppies that's not toxic masculinity toxic masculinity would be no he mansplains to the puppies as he's bringing them down yeah yeah but i'm just saying like i feel like what they're doing is they're saying there's they're like we should make movies for women so let's take male tropes and make it women. But now it's like, do women like watching women box other women? No. Guys would. Guys would.
Starting point is 01:58:10 That's exactly the problem. They're trying to make their female characters into second-rate men. It's like if the notebook, you just flip the two rolls around. You know? Yeah. Ryan Gosling is like sitting at home waiting. Oh, right. The notebook goes to war.
Starting point is 01:58:25 You know, the first two Charlie's Angels movies made money. They were hits. And I actually saw both of those movies in the theater, you know. Oh, right. But that was like foxy boxing, basically, you know. No, I mean, they were fun kind of goofy movies and Drew Barrymore. But this new one, I had no interest in watching because I don't like Kristen Stewart. It's like I didn't want to watch her for two hours.
Starting point is 01:58:53 Like in an Elizabeth Banks movie. I probably didn't see it because she directed it. I mean, you're not allowed really to say that because you're a man. I mean, yeah. And you're critiquing a movie with because, you know, you're a man. I mean, yeah. And you're critiquing a movie with women in it. And that's a mansplain. So, you know, I just I just any time that it's something about, you know, like new wave feminism, I just go.
Starting point is 01:59:17 Got it. But the Charlie's Angels movies were fun. No, there's no winning here. No, no. I agree that the original Charlielie's angels they were great they they were under and it's not that the women were like there was an inherent like i guess feminine that they were still embodying which i think women like to see like they were being women in stilettos and like kicking the crap out of dudes and it was the tone like the tone of the movies there was it was actiony but it was like a little over the top and corny and funny
Starting point is 01:59:45 yeah you know i was self-aware yeah exactly yeah this new one was like very serious wasn't it yeah it's like she hulk explaining you know to he hulk oh man you know what i'm watching better call saul it is one of the most satisfying shows i've ever watched i was complaining about star wars recently how it's like obi-an Kenobi walks out of the ship in Revenge of the Sith, and he's like, Anakin, in the past two hours, I've gone from loving you to wanting to kill you. And it's just like, why?
Starting point is 02:00:16 Like, why did Anakin go from like, we have to stop Palpatine as a Sith to now I'm his servant? And then like- What have I done? I know, just like like that all of a sudden i was really annoyed because i was like the shift from him being a jedi to him being darth vader was just like a coin flipped because he's literally like master windu palpatine's the lord we must stop him and he's like okay wait here and he goes no i'm coming with and then
Starting point is 02:00:42 all of a sudden he regrets what he did. What have I done? I'll be evil and murder kids. I was like, what? But Better Call Saul. Better Call Saul's transition from Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman. Yeah, you can see it. It's so well done. What's really, really impressive about it.
Starting point is 02:00:59 I'm sure many people have already seen it because I'm on season five right now. What's so well done is the the dynamic between jimmy and kim who is like a significant other for those i don't know i see these interactions where he's becoming more con artisty and more like saul but then his interaction with kim is very like well written and normal like when she gets upset with him he apologizes because they're actually in a relationship and he's like okay i'm sorry like you know we'll talk about it but you can see they're still being pulled apart whereas like with star wars it's like you're my brother anakin now die like what yeah that's what happened to hollywood you're you're what you're saying is it was uh poorly written is that i'm just saying
Starting point is 02:01:39 better call saul i'm just continually impressed with... Look, when I complain about writing and stuff, Better Call Saul is better than I could possibly ever imagine. Howard Hamlin, the lawyer from the other company, he's such a well-rounded character. It's like he comes off as smarmy sometimes, but then he gets emotional, and you understand who he is as a character. It's an amazing show.
Starting point is 02:02:02 I'm really impressed. Did you watch Mad Men? No. Is that also good? Yeah. I'll check it out. You like characters. Well, you know,
Starting point is 02:02:10 I watched Breaking Bad. I thought it was pretty good. I like cigarettes. Better call Saltzman. Let's read one more. It's very important. Scott Jeffers says, what's y'all thoughts
Starting point is 02:02:17 on Deadpool 3 and the few teasers? I'm very excited for it. It's going to be silly fun. Ryan Reynolds is great. And the teasers they did bringing back Hugh Jackman, he's going to be Wolverine. It's going to be silly fun. Ryan Reynolds is great. And the teasers they did bringing back Hugh Jackman, he's going to be Wolverine. It's going to be funny and I'm going to have a fun time.
Starting point is 02:02:29 So that's cool. Yeah, they released a new teaser today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where they're sitting together and it plays Jitterbug. It was good. The first one where he's like, I have nothing. I got nothing. Hey, Hugh.
Starting point is 02:02:43 And then he walks past me and he's like you want to play Wolf Reindeer yeah sure Ryan and that's it and he walks up the stairs it was really really good I smuggled a bunch of beers
Starting point is 02:02:50 into the theater when I saw it with my mom the original Deadpool and she's like what are you doing those are eight beers why would you bring
Starting point is 02:02:56 eight beers into the theater I was like mom you don't understand what this movie's gonna be and she literally is tapping me on the shoulder like give me another one I'm like
