So Ron DeSantis has revoked the liquor license of the Hyatt Regency in Miami for hosting a drag show in which children were present. This is an adult performance, adult entertainment. And kids were there. And they were warned if they let kids in, they would lose their liquor license.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Now, I see a lot of people celebrating this, and it is big news. But my attitude is kind of like, that's it? So what, you're saying the next time they do it, they just won't be drunk? Okay, well, at least it's something. But I'm of the mind that people who break the law, because they actually cited statute that they were in violation of, I think if you break the law, you should be arrested and charged. I'm not saying that a person who jaywalks should be arrested and charged and sent to prison for a million years. You might get a citation depending on the scale of the crime.
Starting point is 00:02:02 But we're talking about people who willfully violated the law, were warned they were violating the law, and then decided to have an adult performance for children. The exhibits presented by Ron DeSantis are really messed up. Simply put, really messed up. Like showing actual, let's just call it abuse of a child in this document. So we'll talk with that. We originally going to lead with the Russian jet slamming into a drone and the fear that this will lead to some kind of escalation because the Biden administration is basically saying, oh, this is an act of aggression by the Russians. Our drone was operating in international territory and they hit it, blah, blah. Yeah, it's bad. And there may be an overreaction, but probably just in terms of
Starting point is 00:02:43 funding and providing more weapons, which we've already seen. I'm not sure where that's exactly going to go and whether or not it's the biggest deal in the world. But we'll talk about that. Plus, we've got deep concerns about the financial crisis. Moody's is downgrading the U.S. due to dramatic instability. And as we already saw the other day with the collapse of SVB, first it was Silvergate,
Starting point is 00:03:04 then SVB, then Signature. There are concerns that it's just completely unstable, the market. Today, a bunch of banks rebounded, so much so that their trading on their stocks was also halted, which is just another sign of absolute volatility. So we'll see. We'll see. I don't know for sure.

Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Jim Hansen. Hey, brother. Good to be with you. Absolutely. Who are you? What do you do?
Starting point is 00:04:15 I run a company called WorldStrat that does information operations to push the envelope on the narratives that I like. Right on, simply put. All right. I also got a book. Oh, a book, huh? Your favorite topic. Get based. Well, all right.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Looking cool. We'll do our best. Try, you already do it, brother. All right, we got Phil Labonte hanging out. How you doing, Phil Labonte, lead singer for All That Remains, anti-communist, counter-revolutionary. I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelary. I'm Hannah Claire Brimlaw.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I'm a writer for timcast.com. And I am surge.com. Ready to do it. Let's jump into this first story. I love this one. I chose The New Republic as our principal source for this story because it's funny. It got a picture of Ron DeSantis right here.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And then it says, Ron DeSantis is now attacking the Hyatt Regency because it hosted a drag show. The Florida governor has been waging a war on drag and on LGBTQ people in his state. They say Florida Governor Ron DeSantis moved Tuesday to strip the Hyatt Regency of its liquor license for allegedly allowing minors to attend a Christmastime drag show. I love how they do that. do that allegedly there's pictures of children there there's video of a drag queen with fake breasts shoving them into the face of a child there's there's children at this show allegedly and they say he's cracking down on lgbtq rights it's the
Starting point is 00:05:40 crazy thing is these people by any stretch of the imagination, must be pedophiles because there's no reason why they would lie about what DeSantis actually did unless they were pedophiles. So is Ron DeSantis going after LGBTQ people? No. He explicitly said, if you have minors at an adult entertainment show, you will lose your liquor license. He didn't even threaten him with arrest.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I'm going to go one step further and say right now, Ron DeSantis, arrest these people. I would like to see state police go to the Hyatt Regency, walk up to the manager, confirm were you the manager on the night of December? I think it was 27th or something. 2022 during the performance of the drag show in which children were present. Yes, place your hands behind your back. You are under arrest, and we're going to have you register as a sex offender because you facilitated the whole thing. Then find the employees who helped facilitate this, and they get charges as well for aiding
Starting point is 00:06:38 and abetting a sex show in which children were present. You're doing parents too? What about the performers? Oh, absolutely, absolutely. The thing is, he's targeting the Hyatt Regency, so I'm speaking in the context of the Hyatt Regency. There's an interesting question about the performers. They're not the ones who let in the children.
Starting point is 00:06:58 But we'll see. You see a child in front of you, you go walk up on them and create a sex act in front of them. I think they're culpable too. Absolutely. So those people, but I'm not sure they're residents of the state. They may have been passing through, in which case, good luck getting federal charges. But if they ever step foot back in, there should be an arrest.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Here's what really bothers me about this story is that there's photos of this. I don't want to show all the photos. I think YouTube might get us in trouble if I show you, like right here, down at the bottom of the screen uh why can't i see it on the that's weird oh i guess the mouse doesn't appear normally it does well on the bottom of the screen there's a picture of a drag queen shoving their chest into a child's face and uh we just you know try and move away from that one because i don't think we can actually show that what bothers me is that ronda santos only is taking away their liquor license so the response is if you host a sex show where you invite children we'll take away your ability to sell beer
Starting point is 00:07:57 well don't you don't you think that he's kind of baiting them i think okay you take their liquor license you dare them to do it again and the the second time you send the SWAT team, you frog march them out in chains and you alert the media. Why the second time? Because the government never wants to jump in the first time with everything. They never throw everything at it the first time. I remember a story about a guy who put grow lights in an empty house and then a bunch of, I was a DEA agents stormed into the building only to find nothing was in it. He was live streaming a sting operation. And his point was that they were going to come in with no war into a house that did
Starting point is 00:08:28 nothing wrong yet right now we're supposed to cheer for ron desantis and he's like ha i took away their liquor license now when they have sex shows for children they'll have to be sober am i supposed to be happy about that i'll take i guess a little bit i'll take baby steps rather than no steps. We've done nothing up to this point. We haven't even stopped them from doing anything. So at least this, take away their revenue stream. You're costing them money, right?
Starting point is 00:08:58 And if the threat is the next time they will get cuffed and stuffed, I'd like to see that. I got it. This is the Overton window being shifted. First, they do literal nothing. Then people complain and they say, we'll take away their liquor license. They can still operate. They can still sell shows at their event center. They can still have people come into the restaurant, order food. You can still rent rooms at the Hyatt.
Starting point is 00:09:18 No worries. Okay, I'm shouting out right now to my friends in Miami who know the DeSantis crew. Let's send in a Swati. Why should the Hyatt Regency be concerned about their liquor license when their principal business is selling hotel rooms? But if they operate a food and beverage business, liquor tends to be one of the highest. That's the high margin. I mean, I think what's happening is they're trying to scare the Hyatt Regency into not accepting a contract from this group anymore. And that'll just send them to another venue, which then I guess will continue to chase them. It doesn't seem like the most effective strategy to stopping this.
Starting point is 00:09:52 You guys know that we've been to Congress now a couple of times. They have a subway in the which building were we in? I don't know. There's a subway. Imagine if a member of Congress did something illegal. So they went and said, we're not going to let that subway operate anymore. I'll show these corrupt members of Congress. They're going to be like, OK, I'll go across the street to get subway.
Starting point is 00:10:11 So if you're staying at the Hyatt Regency, you just get drunk across the street. You rent your room. Their principal business is completely unaffected. I got to say, look, I get it. Some action is good to try and stop the Overton window shift. It's allowing this grooming that's happening. But all they're really doing, it seems to me, is throwing red meat at people who are upset about this and saying, cheer for the nothing that I have done. I have done nothing
Starting point is 00:10:35 at all to stop this. Quite nothing. I have hurt the bottom line of one Hyatt location by 7%. If that, I'm willing to bet alcohol comprises a fraction of a percentage of their revenue. They don't care. The right does nothing. Yeah, there you go. Period. They never do.
Starting point is 00:10:53 They do. It's all for show. They are just as interested in virtue signaling as anyone else. If this is considered action, then the left has nothing to fear from the right. Agreed. I just want to know more about Murray and Peter
Starting point is 00:11:12 who presented the drag queen Christmas. I want to know what the production company is doing because they're probably operating, I mean, typically hotels bid for contracts and then whichever one works out a deal with the organization that wants to book the space, you know, moves forward with contracts. So who else considered, who else tried to get this drag queen story show? If we can't have it at the Hyatt, where is it going now?
Starting point is 00:11:35 I think that's what bothers me the most. Like, yes, it's not enough of an action from DeSantis, but partially because it keeps the head on the snake. We're not really stopping it from just migrating somewhere else across town. Let's get citizens giving tips for every drag show coming up and dare DeSantis not to react to the next one. I don't care if adults want to have a drag show. If they want to do burlesque, if they want to do go-go dancing, if they want scantily clad men and women swinging around on poles, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Just no kids. If the right wants to do something about it, they should be putting the performers that are performing for children in jail. Ron DeSantis, if he really believed these people, if he really thought this was true, would be
Starting point is 00:12:17 he'd have the DA issue arrest warrants for these individuals, and upon their return to the state for any reason, they would immediately be arrested. Well, I'm sure a bunch of them are local. It's not, it was a touring thing. But I'm sure they invite local talent in. Like, that's pretty normal. I'm confident that if you wanted
Starting point is 00:12:34 to do something for the crew. This was a 37-state touring show. So I'm not sure it was a local thing. I think it was a touring thing. Are there any other states that have laws? Has anybody else passed a law? Oh, Texas. Texas has?
Starting point is 00:12:44 No, no. Texas had a drag show where they were presenting sex uh in front of children and the police said i refuse to get involved so it's like look man i understand that um we're looking for hope where we can find it and a lot of people they don't want to be blackpilled but if i'm supposed to cheer for ron desantis for having done the bare minimum, literally the least he could possibly do about this, I guess it's better than the rest of the states that do literal nothing like Greg Abbott. But yeah, I'm just unenthused,
Starting point is 00:13:18 not optimistic about where this is all going. Well, shaming helps. So I'll start public shaming on it tomorrow. There should be. That's a fair point. I would love to see, I mean, the video of a drag queen being hauled out of a bar in handcuffs
Starting point is 00:13:33 would go a long way towards throwing a little gasoline on the fire. I honestly think the manager of the establishment that facilitated a sex show for children should be brought out wearing their nice little button-up shirt and tie with their pens in their pocket, being like, I don't understand why I'm being arrested. I operate an establishment.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I'm the normal one. And as they're being brought out, the police can say he operated a sex show for children, and they'll go, whoa. Jail and make sure that the inmates that he shares a cell with or jail with, make sure they know. I don't care about any of that weird stuff, man. Just have him register as a sex offender. See, that's a huge threat right there. But they're not doing anything. No, but that's a great one.
Starting point is 00:14:13 That's a great tool right there. If you operate a sex show, because it used to be 10 years ago, 15 years ago, a drag show was dudes in ball gowns singing ABBA. Yes. Right? Now they're wearing G-strings and shoving their groins in kids' faces.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah. Simulating birth and abortion, they said. And that's just so different. That's a completely different thing. It's not burlesque. It's not a drag show. It's a perverted sex show. It's a kink show.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It is kink. They point out in the complaint that one of the videos played actually shows genitals. It actually shows the nudity and things like that. Which is crime. I'm with you, dude. I think the shit, let the shaming begin. We all have voices, right?
Starting point is 00:14:52 Let's make some noise. There's two things that I want to say. First of all, I agree that stigma is not used enough nowadays. Social shaming is used for basically for the wrong things, essentially. And there should be more shaming from people on the right, which speaks to Tim's point and Matt Walsh's point about being more aggressive, I think is probably a better way to describe it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But they were saying be more mean. But shaming is good, and it's what you should use in place of legislation. So I'm not a big fan of having – like I'm not a big fan of SWAT teams and stuff like that generally. So I think that it's better to have society shame people and try to discourage behavior. You know, so I think that that's the spot that we should be at. Let's go. If you're at a drag show, take the license plates, fill them out, drop them. Then you're dropping names, dox them online.
Starting point is 00:15:45 No, no, no. You can't say that, Jim. You can't say that line? But none of that weird Stasi Soviet stuff. We have laws on the books. They cited the laws on the books. And they're doing nothing about it. I don't care for this right on your neighbor stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:02 We shouldn't have to. We should have a society that enforces its own laws when those laws exist instead i i get it you know we got a super chat here rocky says the point of point of liquor license is to show the smaller establishments that it's serious but let me pull up this next story there you go from the post millennial woke new york attorney general democrat lawmakers to host drag queen story event for families the event is set to feature drag performers reading to children so now you have in new york state sponsored yeah drag shows for kids i can't get past the why do you demand that drag performers read to children well you listen to james lindsey right then you know the
Starting point is 00:16:45 answer i do yeah but the thing is the average person should at least be asking the question as opposed to saying well this is what i'm supposed to be doing so all the karens just decide to show up so that way they can get the the kudos at the at the pta in their in their academic paper they wrote the goal is to get glitter in the carpet that can never be removed. Quite literally outlining in their paper, Transpedagogy, how to groom children. That's what they claim to be doing. Once you do that, you open the door to nothing being better or worse than anything else. So being trans, being non-binary, being a forest elf, whatever you think you are is equally good to being a cishet
Starting point is 00:17:26 person who has a family and makes babies. And that destroys the ability for the culture to say anything is better than anything else. It's all equally fine. And it's not. People are saying, look, I don't want to act like Ron DeSantis pulling a liquor license from the Hyatt is literal nothing. It's the bare minimum. I'll take it. I'm not mad that he did it. Okay, I'm happy something is happening. But you have in Florida them saying, you're a large establishment and we're going to take away your liquor license even though your principal business is selling hotel rooms and doing large-scale events.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I suppose losing your liquor license for large-scale events can be painful. Meanwhile, on the other side, New York is like, we're going to state sponsor all this stuff. Meanwhile, California is doing the same thing. So if you think this is winning the culture war, you will lose. We will lose. And in 10 years, you'll be wondering why your state of Florida is the capital of child drag shows. Well, but isn't it also going to drive people to self-separate into tribes again okay if new york is where the state sponsors drag queen story hour in florida you at least are starting to
Starting point is 00:18:31 stigmatize it and starting to create consequences for people who perpetrate it then guess what more people are going to leave more taxpayers more productive people are going to leave new york which is good here's the thing We are a nation of weak men. We have for too long have we've gone from the classical liberal sense of live and let live into the do whatever you want for whatever reason. Leave me alone. There's a big difference between live and let live and do whatever you want, but leave me alone. We used to have shared moral foundations. And so our country was
Starting point is 00:19:05 like, look, go to your house, do your thing. But then if they did things that were considered bad or destructive, the bigger picture, we would still be like either shun or criminal charges, depending on the severity of the things they were doing. So the point is like drug use and things like that. But now we've gone so far to the anyone can do anything they want. The country's ripping in half where you've got adult men putting on sex shows. I mean, here, pull this up.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Pull it up. Let me just show you the picture. There is a drag queen with fake breasts and children were present. There's videos of it. And doing weird sex things at this show.
Starting point is 00:19:42 So New York's going to allow it. And what's going to happen is the men in New York are going to say, I don't care. You can do whatever you want. And I think it's even worse. You said, I want to do whatever I want. Leave me alone. It's not leave me alone. It's celebrate my freakishness.
Starting point is 00:19:54 You know, now you have to actually have the kids because you've got the kids participating in pride parades and carrying flags and doing all that. So they're telling them it's not just there. If you want to teach kids what is good, what do you celebrate? We celebrate Pride Month. So you've got an entire month where you're telling them these people who are abnormal,
Starting point is 00:20:12 I'm not saying they're bad people, but they're outside the norm of society and they're doing things that may or may not be healthy. And you're telling kids that's something to celebrate. You know what's funny? Is that the rainbow is the symbol of God's covenant to man that he will never flood the earth again. And they decide to appropriate that. I want it back.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I know that's... But it's also funny that they have pride celebrations, which of course is one of the seven deadly sins. I want the flood back. And so I wonder if a lot of it is intended to attack religion and Christianity. Because like you said, James Lindsay is great at pointing out that it's praxis. All right, these are things they're doing purposely because they're attacking the things
Starting point is 00:20:50 that are cohesive and hold a society together. And they're purposely targeting the things like a nuclear family and the cishet normality as something to be destroyed. And it's working. Satisfied people do not revolt. You don't get a revolution when you have a society full of people that are happy.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Drag Story Hour, the nonprofit that's co-sponsoring the New York AGE Story Hour, in their mission statement, they have this line that says, we capture the imagination and play of gender fluidity in childhood and give kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models for the nonprofit. They know why they are preaching to children and they're co-opting childhood we see as innocent say oh well actually children are gender fluid that's that's in their basic bio they assume that all children are gender fluid which is weird that's not what i know it's abnormal and they get on tv they get nothing but
Starting point is 00:21:41 dad is an idiot right mom should run things and the gay couple is cooler. Yeah, you know, so all of the things are now designed to push you towards one thing. And it's working, you know, and the fact that we're at least having this conversation, the fact that there's at least a liquor license in jeopardy, and hopefully, someone will be in handcuffs is a step in the right direction. But it is a baby step. And we need much bigger steps how how is it that we've gone from what do you think would have happened 40 years ago if something like this was done if they had an event like this with children what do you think
Starting point is 00:22:16 the governments would have done i don't think the governments would have been involved because we still had culture then we still had a culture where parents would have been responsible and they would have shown up and whoever was doing that would have had a very sad day you know you think you think people in the community would show up and there would be a riot yeah so baby steps you're I think you're mistaken this isn't baby steps this is total and complete surrender yeah that's it the fact that we've gone from a society that says we won't allow this to a society that says well i guess i can put your liquor license that means we've retreated and
Starting point is 00:22:50 surrendered the fight completely and and this is ronda sanders being like i guess i'll do something i don't want to believe that it's a surrender but i agree with you that if it's a counter-attack it is far from let's put it this way on a scale of one to ten if 40 years of the reaction would have been a 10 going in arresting people shutting it down news reporting it angry parents screaming how could you let this happen today we're not even at a one we're off the scale the scale is gone we're not five dot four someone and that's so and that means we have completely retreated from the fight period and all that's left is one city in florida that's pathetic. And that means we have completely retreated from the fight, period. And all that's left is one city in Florida that's done something about it because even Texas won't.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah. There you go. That's it. We're talking about shame. I think it's interesting that parents won't shame each other for taking their kids to this show. In fact, Phil's probably right. They're, like, looking to score points at the next PTA meeting. They're looking to say, well, look at this fun experience. We're so, I don't know, open-minded, I guess. Our kids being exposed to all kinds of things. It's weird. I think 40 years ago, we would have had more
Starting point is 00:23:54 cultural pressure. It wouldn't just be your neighbors being like, you're taking your kid where? It would have been the grandparents. It would have been the church. It would have been everyone in alignment saying this is not something we do. It's not just the government intervention, but it's the social intervention, which we don't have now. Think about the incentive. Think about the incentive. Moms are incentivized to not make waves because it makes problems for their kids in school. If you're a kid going to school and your mom and everyone around, like, okay, so I know this is going to be awkward or sound odd to some of the people, our viewers' ears, but if you're a mom and you're anti-vax and everybody around you is up to date and your kid isn't vaccinated, your kid is going to take endless amounts of crap at school.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Moms will do a lot of stuff and shut their mouths about a lot of things to make sure that their kids have a reasonable time at school. And it's probably the wrong answer, but that's a significant portion of why these things tend to metastasize and spread the way they do. 05.20 Well, and you can understand why you wouldn't want to put the pressure of the political fight on your third grader, right? 05.20 Yeah, absolutely. 05.20 But you've got to move then.
Starting point is 00:25:05 All right. That's why tribalism and federalism are our friend. There is no common ground right now. Yes, we have retreated. Yes, we have surrendered. Yes, we now need to organize into communities of like-minded people who will not put up with that crap. And so I don't care. I don't want to hear you.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Job won't let you move. I don't want to hear anything about it. Move someplace or change your own community at the lowest level and at least fight back yourself. And I think there's some people are doing it. I typically agree with you, but then I think even moving doesn't escape you from the internet, right? So like there's a family vlog channels getting a lot of attention right now because they're talking about their child is transitioning and they're documenting it to the clinic and whatever it is. And like, that means that even if you moved if your child has access to the internet this is still the alternative and you know but if you're in a homeschool co-op and all the kids in that co-op
Starting point is 00:25:54 are hearing from their parents that that's not how we do things how do you protect your kid from june no you can't you can't stop like how do you protect your kid from from the whole month it gets coming. Or drive down your street and every restaurant has a pride flag on it. Yeah, LGBT shoved right down your throat every June. How do you protect your kid from that? I'd like to hope that it empowers parents today to be really open and honest about their values with their kids. I think there are generations where parents didn't want to tell their kids too much. Didn't want to seem like they were oppressing them
Starting point is 00:26:25 or, you know, whatever else. Like I have a number of friends whose parents grew up really religious. The parents then didn't really bring them to church and now the kids crave that. They crave more direction. Like I think in some ways we might see a redirection, but it is difficult to completely separate yourself
Starting point is 00:26:38 from culture. You have to have an answer for when your kid says like, well, why does my friend go to this? And we don't, no matter what it is. But we have answers. Our answers are better than theirs, right? Their answer is the more freakish it is, the better it is. Celebrate the weird. But they don't present it that way. Their package is totally different. But you can say that. And obviously, it's a difficult thing. But again, there's also counterattacks going. Look at the number of states now that are banning surgery on minors for any kind of transition they're banning hormones are banning the
Starting point is 00:27:07 rest of that that's happening more places so there is because of the success they've had in pushing that more people have had to face the fact that that's gonna happen to their kids and it's happening in their neighborhood and that's causing a backlash now is it gonna be a big enough backlash I hope so not yet let's jump to an even more depressing story. We got this from the Postmillennial. Breaking Moody's slashes outlook for U.S. banking system to negative due to rapidly deteriorating operating environment. Moody's lowered its outlook on the American banking system from stable to negative. The
Starting point is 00:27:41 move comes just days after Silicon Valley Bank, the 16th largest in the nation, collapsed alongside a number of smaller financial institutions. Quote, We have changed our... Okay, we get it. They say it over and over again. We've changed our negative from stable to negative. According to CNBC,
Starting point is 00:27:56 the downgrade could impact credit ratings and thus raise the cost of borrowing for financial institutions. Oh boy! That's going to make everything a whole lot worse. So this morning, when trading opens up, all the banking stocks spiked and skyrocketed. Some jumped something like 90 point swings. It made a lot of money if you invested in them on the dip. But it was so volatile that a bunch of trading halts were implemented because the upswing was also
Starting point is 00:28:21 extreme and crazy. So that just screams volatility. I got to wonder, where do we go from here? Some people have predicted that, you know, in 2008, it was March. We saw the first hits. Then by September, it was total collapse. We looking at the same thing here or going to be different? Well, the question is trust. The only reason that the dollar is the fiat currency of the world and we have been on top as long as we have and we can have 30 trillion dollars in debt is because people believe that the united states
Starting point is 00:28:50 is unbreakable well it doesn't look unbreakable now and that's the problem you know that's that's been the issue you look at why crypto is is being adapted but not not fast enough it's because how many people trust that everybody because if everybody in that crypto game doesn't trust each other, it falls apart. Well, we've been so trusted that people thought the U.S. is just always going to be there, always going to be growing, always going to be fine. And the second that trust is pierced,
Starting point is 00:29:17 everything the crypto bros have been saying about why fiat currency is garbage becomes true. Because it is a Ponzi scheme. We owe more money than we'll ever make. The only chance we have is to screw the Chinese and not pay them back. Well, there's no such thing as paying down the debt. No, we can't. People don't understand that a large portion
Starting point is 00:29:34 of the national debt's owed to itself, to its own people. And it's always going to increase because the system itself is a Ponzi scheme where basically we borrow from ourselves in the future over and over and over again forever. It works when you have all the guns. That's why the US government doesn't like it when regular people start Ponzi schemes. Well, and now the Chinese are looking at it.
Starting point is 00:29:56 They've wanted to flip the currency to their own for a long time. It's happening. I think Saudi Arabia is doing it. And look at what they did. They just, China is pushing us aside as the world's only superpower and It's happening. I think Saudi Arabia is doing it. And look at what they did. They just, China is pushing us aside as the, as the world's only superpower. And it's happening because we look like punks. You know, we've always been vulnerable, but we look strong. Trump, crazy as he was, nobody wanted to mess with him. Nobody wanted to take the consequences of what he would do. Nobody's scared of Biden. You know, the Iran, the Iranians and the Saudis just signed a deal brokered by the Chinese.
Starting point is 00:30:27 So our major global enemy brokers a deal between the largest state sponsor of terrorism and a former ally of ours. Three years after we were making deals in the Middle East to bring Gulf Arab states and Israel together. We have lost our place. What's the answer? More international war, more conflict, more intervention? That seems to be where the Biden administration wants to go. They seem to be doing everything they can to push us into World War III. I don't know if it's because they think it'll help the defense stocks or if they just don't
Starting point is 00:30:56 know how to control it. Because they want a unipolar world where the U.S. controls the reserve currency. And if we lose that unipolar position, it becomes multipolar with China as it is, then the US dollar becomes worthless and the US manufactures nothing. So we become a poor nation overnight. And the Chinese are globalists, just not the way that we talk about globalism. They're globalists as in they want to control the globe. And if we lose to them, and right now they're also, they're going to broker a deal between the Russians and the Ukrainians, I predict in the next three to six months, they're going to be the ones who make that deal, not us, because Biden and his crew can't
Starting point is 00:31:33 stop pushing. All right, they want that war, because that's what makes them feel strong. That's what they're doing, like you said, to maintain our position. And they're incompetent at it. That's the problem. If the U.S. falls from the holder of the reserve currency, then the wang becomes the reserve currency and then it's China. And then we're screwed. I mean, so it really does feel in a lot of ways like, I think Donald Trump understood this and his view of the world was the U.S. will not be able to maintain this position. China is growing too fast. We need to shore up our borders.
Starting point is 00:32:07 We need to bring back manufacturing, build up our economy, and get ready. Otherwise, it'll be a hard fall. And the establishment uniparty deep state said, no, we just need to blow up more people and just keep dropping bombs until they learn they can't screw with us and the dollar is the reserve currency. I think Trump was right. They can't stop China's growth. No.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Well, I don't know. China may stop its own growth. They're a bit of a Potemkin economy. They've got a lot of stuff behind the scenes that is ugly, and I think they're not in a position to capitalize. Except their authoritarian structure allows them to rapidly shift priorities, steal any resource they want on a moment's notice. It's much more difficult for the U.S., but the U.S. still does do it. It's not like
Starting point is 00:32:51 the will of the people really matters to the U.S. government for the most part. And the other thing that has been happening between the Uniparty and the globalists, the World Economic Forum crew, is weakening the United States. They want to weaken it enough to allow a global counterpart to push up against the Chinese. They think they can do it if the U.S. is weak enough and somehow they spread that power
Starting point is 00:33:13 across all of the component parts of like the G20. Then you've got a global organization that can take on the Chinese and is better than them. And the problem is the Chinese could win before that happens. Who's going to coalesce around that?
Starting point is 00:33:28 Outside of all that, our banks are falling apart. Which is not good. Yeah. All right, you want a good prediction? Sure. So 100 years ago, there was a Great Depression. What started it? Well, stocks crashed.
Starting point is 00:33:39 There were runs on banks, right? So everything was really bad. Then there was possibility of a world war coming right after that, wasn't there? Don't we have kind of a world... It was just after World War I. Yeah, so we'd finished one, the war to end all wars, and then all of a sudden we have a depression and then, oh, we need another world war, right?
Starting point is 00:33:55 So now we've got a world war brewing. So I'm saying all we've got to do is ride... Pandemic too, how about that? Pandemic, we didn't have that back then, but you had the Spanish flu. Spanish flu and other things. So you got all the same things that took everybody down but you know what here's what you got to remember the greatest period of prosperity was right after second world war so all we got to do is ride out the next 20 years and we'll be fine 25 or so and then it'll be a few years after that one of the things that helped bolster the u.s economy was the complete
Starting point is 00:34:24 destruction of the of the manufacturing bases in the countries that were at war. Japan was wiped out and much of Europe was wiped out. So if you needed something made, it was American. Well, here's the thing. Maybe we need to bait China and Russia. The problem is China and Russia are allies now. You've got the Dragon Bear Alliance. And so the odds of them getting into a fight and destroying their manufacturing
Starting point is 00:34:45 capability is slim so we're not going to get that bonus we need to take trump's advice we need to protect our borders we need to start manufacturing we need to start becoming more self-sufficient because i think the long fall is coming imagine what would it would it would be like if donald trump was president for the past two years you you would have more manufacturing. You'd have a stronger U.S. economy. You'd have lower inflation. You'd have less war. You'd have no war in Ukraine. I mean, it just sounds really nice, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:35:12 I think that's probably reasonable to assume that there wouldn't be a war in Ukraine. I'm not so sure about the other stuff because Donald Trump was spending, was printing money just as fast as Biden was. We'd have had a lot of the same issues. Maybe we get out of it. We didn't. Pardon me? We didn't. The pandemic is a weird scenario.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yeah. That goes from 2020 into 2021. I'm not going to blame either Biden or Trump for the weirdness, but I can say the moment Biden gets into office and signs all these executive orders, inflation just shoots straight up and wages go straight down. I really don't think Donald Trump secretly planned a policy to execute
Starting point is 00:35:51 the moment or within like three weeks of Biden becoming president. I think Biden signed a bunch of executive orders and nuked everything. There is an amount of truth to that. The executive orders that Biden signed when he first got got into office there's a lot of regulations that he he reinstated and stuff but still the the the main factors that led to the inflation and stuff i mean donald trump was talking about doing in uh doing more stimulus uh at the end of his at the end of his at the end of his presidency and stuff so I don't see a significant difference economically. I think that we're probably in the same place, whether it be Biden or Trump. But as for international stuff, like foreign relations and stuff, I think the world, the U.S. was better. Well, the world was better off with Donald Trump than with Biden.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I think that's pretty clear. I don't think we're, I don't think we see a war in Ukraine with Donald Trump. Not a chance. And we didn't see any of the tyrants acting up, you know, and all of a sudden Biden's in and everybody knows they can roll over his team. They show us, oh, let's do Afghanistan. That went swimmingly. Everybody knew that Donald Trump's incentive was, I want America to be a nice place for Americans. I don't care about you. And they said, okay. So Russia's like, well, I'm not going to need to invade if the U u.s isn't pushing for nato expansion anymore and then with the way they frame it in the corporate press
Starting point is 00:37:08 here is donald trump was doing putin's bidding why because his bidding was he didn't want a nato country bordering like every every border country to be a nato country that was one of the great missed opportunities was we could have made a frenemy out of russia because they needed it they didn't have china yet now we screwed that up okay we made anemy out of Russia because they needed it. They didn't have China yet. Now we screwed that up. Okay, we made an enemy out of, what was an enemy? Let's be clear.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Putin was always going to be an enemy, but you can make deals with enemies. Now he's making a deal with our actual enemy who's actually capable of taking us on on the global stage. And we're on the sidelines. You know, it's horrifying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Sometimes I feel like the american media treats russia so strangely like they didn't want an expansion of an alliance that would attack them against their back door and some for some reason we present it as like that's crazy can you believe that and they didn't want us to do that like i i feel like the pressure to keep russia as our number one enemy which of course like there are conflicts but like, I feel like the pressure to keep Russia as our number one enemy, which, of course, like there are conflicts. But like personally, I feel like we have more to lose to China right now. 100%. And instead, we get to spend how much money on Ukraine?
Starting point is 00:38:15 But Putin's a stand in for Trump for a lot of these people. A lot of the people in the U.S. who are pushing so hard are using Putin as their Trump punching bag. In the same way you said, oh, you know, it's Trump is doing Putin's bidding. No, what's actually going on was Trump was trying to neutralize. The one thing Trump was good at is he was a savvy negotiator. You didn't want to be across the table in a boardroom from Donald Trump because he was going to eat your lunch and he didn't care how he did it. He made Putin nervous. He made Kim Jong-un nervous. He made the Chinese nervous. He hit him withun nervous he made the chinese nervous he hit him
Starting point is 00:38:45 with tariffs you know he kept everybody off balance now everybody knows they can roll biden and they're all rolling up on us yep well that's what we got it's pleasant we have uh we actually have a story about getting rolled up on check it take out uh check out this story from timcast.com u.s drone a complete loss after being hit by a russian jet jet these aggressive actions by russian air crew are dangerous said u.s european command that's basically the story oh it's written by you why don't you tell us hannah claire what happened makes me so nervous when you do this like popcorn reading in school um so there were two russian su-27 fighter jets flying uh above in international airspace above the uh black sea as was an mq aircraft which is a drone i know a ton about the military i'm an
Starting point is 00:39:35 expert here and basically uh one of the jets uh clipped the propeller and it made it so the drone was inoperable it crashed they were also saying that the the planes were like throwing fuel at the drone and the uh u.s european command and our uh defense department were like this is unprofessional this is dangerous how could russia act this way in response russia is you know russia has complained several times that uh it does not appreciate that the u.s. and the United Kingdom have expanded their surveillance operations, especially in international, especially around the Crimean Peninsula. And so as it turns out, they aren't going to just roll over and let drones photograph whatever's going on there. And it's hard to say because Russia is saying, you know, well,
Starting point is 00:40:24 we're the ones who are open to the peace talks that the Chinese have proposed. But it's Ukraine that won't participate. You know, it's double edged all around. But I think this is one of those moments that if the U.S. wants to escalate, they will say, well, they're just getting out of control. These unprofessional Russian military planes trying to attack us you know i actually got a tip on some of the cockpit crosstalk from the russian pilots and as they were rolling up on the reaper they're playing highway to the danger zone watching top gun they were watching and he was going to try and go upside down and he peed on the drone right to communicate right
Starting point is 00:41:03 like they were doing yeah yeah and then he got caught in the jet wash that's what it was right it was see it was all one big misunderstanding one big bad or or is it basically russia being like we want these u.s surveillance drones out of our war i mean look at considering russia's a nuclear armed you know what used to be a superpower but they have nuclear weapons. I personally have no problem with the United States being in international waters monitoring. I have no issue with that. Like the U.S. is well within their rights to be in international waters monitoring a conflict that could have, you know, global consequences. Except Russia knows that the U.S. is not
Starting point is 00:41:46 just monitoring, they're actively providing the intelligence to the Ukrainian people. They're still in international waters. It doesn't mean anything. I don't think this was... If my neighbor is flinging mud at me, and I'm flinging mud back, and then you're on the street telling the other guy how to
Starting point is 00:42:02 respond to me, and you're helping him, I'm like, you are helping the guy who's fighting me. to me and how and you're hiding behind that bush you are helping the guy who's fighting me i don't care where you are it doesn't like i said it's it's i don't see any problem with the united states saying look we're going to monitor this situation because of the fact that they have nuclear weapons except for the russians they're like they're not just monitoring it they They are providing intelligence to Ukraine. They are actively engaging in war against us. The United States is actually sending tanks. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:30 They're not worried about a drone monitoring. They're worried about actual material support. Russia literally just took out one of our drones, likely because they're upset that we're spying on them. I think it was more Rubin is racing and it got out of control. I don't think they were trying to take the drone. I think that was probably an accident. If they were going to take it I don't think they were trying to take the drone. I think that was probably an accident. If they were going to take it out,
Starting point is 00:42:47 I imagine they would have shot it as opposed to hitting it. You don't take that chance. No, no, no. Shooting it is an act of war. Oopsie, we bumped into it is a call our bluff. This is the only time
Starting point is 00:42:57 one of these interactions has resulted in a crash. So there have been other instances where fighter jets have gone up to interact with the drones is the only one
Starting point is 00:43:04 that has knocked out a U.S. drone. Here's the thing. Vlad has no doubt in his mind whatsoever that we are at war with him. All right. He's got a he's got a shooting war with the Ukrainians and Zelensky. He gets four wise. I give him four wise. But Vlad knows that we are not just a proxy in this.
Starting point is 00:43:23 We are actively fighting him. So it's a U.S.-Russia war with Ukraine doing the fighting right now. Not even. There's Americans on the ground. American veterans volunteered. And then armed by the Americans. That makes no sense. You know, the problem with Malcolm Nance going over there was he ate so much that the rest of the Ukrainian troops couldn't get fed.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Malcolm Nance. He is such a poser tool. He's an embarrassment. I don't disagree that the U.S., you know, it's not unreasonable and for moderate. I just don't think it's unreasonable for Russia to try and prevent it, right? No. Acting like this is like some act of Russian aggression when actually it's Russian defense, like that seems sort of, you know, it's like the American media wants the public to think
Starting point is 00:44:04 Russia is suddenly getting aggressive in a way that it shouldn't. Yeah. I mean, the United States, the general population in the U.S. is extremely ignorant about the whole Ukraine war. They don't, no one even thinks about anything that happened in 2014. They don't think about anything prior to when Russia invaded, you know know last year and i i understand that and there's a lot of people that are anti-war that are like yo the us shouldn't even be looking over there because it could inflame things i understand there are people like that i'm just in my opinion because of the stakes because of the possibility of nuclear war
Starting point is 00:44:42 i don't have a problem with the united states monitoring the situation i don't have the problem i don't have a problem with the u.s if we're not in ukrainian airspace if we're in international waters i don't have an issue with but we're not like tim said we're not just doing that and the thing is there is a goal now to defeat putin right that's not all the way but but that's that's zelensky's goal he wants him out of crimea and that is the goal of far too many people in the U.S. national security apparatus. Let me ask you, Phil, if the U.S. operated, you know, artillery from across the Polish border into Ukraine to take out Russian targets, would Russia be like, well, you know, they're in Poland. Operating artillery is not.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Intelligence is 100 times more important than one artillery it's still not you can't say oh any united any you can there is no at all there is no precedent for a state to say you cannot fly or if you fly in international waters we're going to take that as an act of aggression that is there is no precedent like that and that doesn doesn't stand up to anybody's assumption of what is a reasonable act. If you fly a drone and you provide targeting information to people on the ground who then attack you, you have committed an act of war.
Starting point is 00:45:56 You don't know the drone is targeting. What's it doing then? I'm sure that's what it's doing. You don't know that it's targeting. That's a reasonable assumption. Are you serious? You don't know that the drone is running targeting information. Somehow, the U.S. provided information on the Russian flagship to the Ukrainians to blow up.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I wonder how they got the info. The Ukrainians are not dropping J-dams, right? There's no drones lazing targets in Ukraine. There's there's no jtac they don't have an advanced war that's not the war that's fighting how did the u.s get the intel the intel on the location of the black ship flag the black sea flagship how did they get that intel the one that was in the sea in the black sea there's a the russian. I imagine from satellites. So not the drone that's literally flying over the Black Sea. I don't know what the sorties there are running. I don't know what the sorties there are running.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I don't know what the strategy is. I don't have insight into the people that are actually running the plans. What does the drone do? To say that just a drone, a drone could be, they could be monitoring with video. They could be monitoring ship movements there's all kinds of things that are totally legitimate and totally not not escalation or or acting in the uh in the war that a drone could be doing just monitoring the u.s this is a fact gave the intelligence to the ukrainians to blow up the black sea flagship of the russian navy
Starting point is 00:47:26 i have i don't know maybe they did maybe they i don't know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna argue that they didn't now russia could be sitting there going well it could have been satellite or it could be that thing flying around in circles above the black sea let's ignore it completely is it not still the same thing if you give targeting information to someone who uses it to destroy a piece of military equipment, you are an active participant in that. That's material support. There's not a question of whether or not the United States is lending material support. Everybody believes that the United States blew up the—
Starting point is 00:48:00 Then why are you shocked that Russia would clip or take out an American drone? Who's shocked? I'm just saying that the U.S. has every right to be there. They're in international waters. So it's not an aggressive act to be flying a drone in international waters. Sure, sure. It's not an act of aggression by the United States. That's all that I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:48:18 And I agree with you because I don't want that to become a standard. You know, at some level, we do have freedom of maneuver and navigation anywhere we want international waters is international law any military can can operate in any military has legal not when you're at war any military has legal authority to operate international water when law is meaningless in war completely mean is that like i find the idea of war crimes laughable like somebody who wants to win a war is going to win a war and they don't care what you think the crime is so if uh let's say we're at war with japan and they bomb pearl harbor and then all of a sudden japanese fighters are buzzing our our our our buzzing hawaii again we're gonna be like well hold on guys they have every right to fly around international waters we're not going to strike them we blow them up two seconds
Starting point is 00:49:04 we don't care what they're doing. We're not in a declared war with Russia. We haven't been in a declared war since when? World War II. Okay, so we're not in a, right now, the United States is not in a fighting war with Russia. Yes, we are. Yeah, that's a pretty, that's a pretty good point. Okay, you're pulling an Ian on this one.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Ian's like, we didn't declare war, therefore we're not at war. It's like, okay, well, there's US Special Forces, US personnel, US tanks, US training, US intelligence, and the Russians have outright declared we're at war with them. The point that I'm making is the United States being in international waters is not an act of aggression. That's just not. Except unless it's in concert with everything that Tim's just said, then it could be interpreted differently.
Starting point is 00:49:49 It's not like this is a peacetime mission and we're flying someplace else. Anything the U.S. does, the Russians are going to say is an act of aggression. Anything the U.S. does because of the U.S. support. We blew up their flagship. We also blew up the Nord Stream. I under the Nord Stream pipeline. I'm not arguing that. That was not us.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I will tell you right now, and here's why a buddy of mine said it. If it was U.S. Navy SEALs, there'd be a movie, a book tour and hair gel endorsements. They'd be bragging about it. Only the California SEALs, the one from Virginia, don't do that. Quote unquote, Ukrainian is proxy for CIA. Maybe. I'm not here to play games. Yanukovych gets ousted from Ukraine, flees to Russia. The country is split between the pro-West and the pro-Russia, mostly pro-West. If Ukraine's doing anything, it is because the U.S. wants it to happen. So sure, we can say, well, that was Ukrainians who blew it up. We just equipped them and gave them the U.S. wants it to happen. So sure, we can say, well, that was Ukrainians who blew it up. We just equipped them and gave them the bombs.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Yeah, well, we gave them $100 billion and Zelensky hired whoever he wants. I want to make a crazy idea here. Why don't we push for peace? Why can't we declare that Putin's already lost? Putin lost the war when his expeditionary military got wiped out during the initial invasion when he could not take over Ukraine. He got all his new toys broken and destroyed he's no longer a threat to anyone
Starting point is 00:51:10 in europe he couldn't invade lichtenstein at this point that's actually a pretty hard place to invade i've been there it's hard place to get fed there's only like three restaurants it's a very small place surrounded by many countries that's supposed to be the reason that we have to keep pushing against putin is because what if he decides to go west and take over europe that's a lot he can't right the issue is that yeah putin may be having a hard time but the war is raging and we are unable to stop him i don't know we're not unable to stop him we're not able to stop zielinski because we keep telling him not to go ahead and make peace right now the, the U.S. needs to say, cut off the money. No more money.
Starting point is 00:51:46 No more toys. The end state of this, and I said this a year ago, is Putin keeps the Donbass and Crimea and Zelensky gets a promise from us if he crosses the border again, it's a NATO issue. Why do you think we're not pushing the peace? We should have declared a fly zone
Starting point is 00:52:00 before this even started. I think we're not because still it's a proxy war where we're pushing back against's a still it's a proxy war where we're pushing back against Putin, not against Russia. And it's a situation where they don't want to look soft. They know they're soft in every other place and they're pushing extra hard in Ukraine. And it became an emotional issue because it's the left we're dealing with. They're not dealing with strategic geopolitical issues. They're dealing with emotional issues.
Starting point is 00:52:25 That's why it's Slavic-Ukraine-y and everybody's got a flag. It's not about strategic issues. So unless something happens to Putin, there's no reason for modern America to push for peace. They'll continue funneling money to Ukraine. Which is insanity because at some point, do you think, here's the thing, Vlad is not going to take an L on this. All right, is he going to be the one russian tyrant who goes down losing to his neighbor no ain't happening i think he's going to go down as vlad the vicious the guy who clacked off a battlefield nuke before he takes a loss agreed from the freaking ukrainians
Starting point is 00:52:56 yep completely agree and people seem to think that nuclear war means russia launches an icbm that flies over the world and lands in washington dc they're going to be very confused when a small yield nuclear device is detonated on the battlefield and not in a city and then they go how come nobody's firing nukes at each other now how come that nuclear power plant got a little hot oh that's right that's accidental there's a ton of things he can do and all he's got to do is escalate one notch up and then we're not going to retaliate. We are not going to up that ante. So and he's not going down like a pump. Time to make peace.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Yeah. Well, the West doesn't want it. I disconcur with them. Yeah, that's the thing. The Trump the Trumpian view is stop the BS, build up our borders, mind our own effing business, build up our economy, live a good American life. Who ever thought they'd be looking back at a day when Trump was not chaos? I lived through it.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I supported him. We helped them a lot. We did a lot for the Trump administration. And it felt like chaos and like everything was going to explode every day. And now I look back on that with nostalgia. Those were the peaceful, calm, prosperous times. Wow. That's a lot of destruction in, what, three years? Yeah, I'm impressed. Well, so what do you think? Do you think this jet clipping thing is going to result in escalation? I think the U.S. needs the incentive. They need some kind of Cass's belly, so they will use this to some degree. I think the US needs the incentive. They need some kind of
Starting point is 00:54:25 Cass's belly so they will use this to some degree. I think that we're gonna give Zelensky stuff he's got no business having. So all the things we haven't been giving him fighters, you know, I mean he may get f-16s. They're already giving him guided JDAMs now. He's got the glider JDAMs, you know, and what they want to do at some level the game is you got to break the russian we got world war one you know on the border in donbass now we've got trench lines trenches and we've got actually people opining about well the thing to do in an offensive operation like this i'm like shut up dude you watched a movie you watched 1917 and all quiet on the western front and you think you know what you're talking about shut up they need to break that and they want to
Starting point is 00:55:03 push putin back across the border and we're going to give zelensky what he needs to break that russian trench line and that's when vlad is the most dangerous person on the planet yeah i don't see a circumstance in which vladimir putin walks away for any reason there's no real reason for him to yeah i think i think it ends with the nuke ivan the terrible vlad the vicious vlad the vicious my wife samantha russian studies major gave that to me yep so what do you what do you think nuclear artillery on the battlefield i would think probably chemical weapons what about bio weapons the bio weapons can get out of control nobody wants to mess with that not even him chemical weapons they have a shelf life you know they've got a killing time you can contain it at some level same with a low low level nuke you know
Starting point is 00:55:49 the difference is if you use chem weapons okay well saddam did that other people have done that you know so it's not as big a thing as a nuke but wouldn't vlad like to be the guy who put russia on a par with the united states as the only people to use nuclear weapons the only country to use nuclear weapons in a war. That'll get you in the history book. But he needs a Cassius Belli. Hey, which might be US F-16s flying out of a NATO country. Yeah, I mean, they already sank the Russian flagship.
Starting point is 00:56:15 So perhaps he doesn't in the way we would see it. Vladimir Putin is the kind of guy who can just say he's going to do it. Whereas in the United States, you need some justification for the public. He doesn't. He's going to be, he's already got do it. Whereas in the United States, you need some justification for the public. He doesn't. He's going to be, he's already got it with the sinking of the flagship. He's going to say the United States is an active war against us.
Starting point is 00:56:30 We cannot lose this. You want to go to the International Criminal Court and say we're not, you know, you want to say that what we're doing does not constitute war on Russia. It's horrifying how far we've been willing to go. Isn't that the craziest thing though? International Criminal Court war crimes.
Starting point is 00:56:46 So the only way war crimes can be enforced is if the enforcer wins the war. If Russia is like, we don't think it's a war crime, and they're like, well, it is. They say, okay, and then Russia wins. Take no war crime there. There you go.
Starting point is 00:56:58 That's the sad thing. War crimes, I mean, I would disagree that there are or are not war crimes. There are crimes during war. Sure. Okay? And there should be some recourse to them. One of my first deployments, we were training Philippine police constabulary.
Starting point is 00:57:11 It's like a paramilitary unit. And we asked them, how do you conduct a raid to scarf up terrorists? And they said, well, we sight in the machine guns and we rake the buildings with fire. And we go in and count the bodies and issue a press release. And I'm like, here I am, am special forces guy supposed to be t i'm like well that's one way to do it you know that's a technique what if i had to go thing yeah what if you don't kill everybody and you maybe keep one guy alive to torture literally i had to convince them you had to walk them back step by step and then we had to go well
Starting point is 00:57:45 maybe not torture maybe just but literally that was the mindset right and then ultimately you end with question so we can get more intelligence right and then eventually it's arrest them and put them in a box and we never got there but we at least backed them off kill everyone oh man war is brutal huh here we are laughing about it that's kind of messed up let's uh let's let's pick a i'm gonna pick another uh nightmarish topic for us to harp on are you okay today i'm worried about you here's uh well we're laughing right here's a story from the daily mail jet gpt 2.0 creator of ai bot that took world by storm launches even more powerful version called GPT-4 and admits it's so advanced it could, quote, harm society. That's good marketing.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Who is this person? That's really good marketing. Is this what, like, you know, when I was little, I was always wondering where the mad scientists were. Because I'd watch these cartoons and there'd be a guy being like, I'm going to build a laser to melt the ice caps and flood the earth. And it's like, why would you do that? Like, what's the economic incentive? Like, how is your life made better by just destroying the planet? Never made any sense, right?
Starting point is 00:58:56 Well, now you have these people making chat GPT and this guy saying it could actually harm society. I'm like, oh, I get it now. TikTok harms society. I mean, that's a pretty low bar. I don't believe that AI in any form I could see it in the next 20 to 30 years take control of anything because it's not capable of taking control. The question is, will we give it control? Will we put algorithms in the decision loop for things they shouldn't be in and take humans out of it and that's the actual danger it's not the ai it's the idiotic humans
Starting point is 00:59:28 ceding control because oh this is more efficient we can make more money this way of course we're gonna do that we are we're whatever the worst thing that can come up with that's absolutely the very first thing that they're gonna do and it's gonna be like we imagine the scientists who made this ai are like i have worked very hard to make this sophisticated artificial intelligence that will revolutionize the world and in fact it's a guy going i made a robot to do the work for me i'm gonna connect it to the industrial control systems. Beep. And then the joke I have to make is that if AI took over right now, everybody would be working in the corn industry. And it would be like a really weird – the economy would be messed up. Pop culture would be weird.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Like 10 years after the AI takes over, you turn on the TV and it's like a woman dancing, throwing corn in the air. And the reason I say corn is because the U.s is like corn is a staple product so what will happen is the ai scouring you know production manufacturing will keep seeing a feedback loop of corn production is good for the economy corn production is good and so then what will happen what it will do is it will start over prioritizing that portion of the algorithm of society much like how i'll give you an example facebook when they first roll out rolled out these algorithms to try and uh figure out what people like the most every everyone noticed that if you typed in family baby marriage or whatever it would instantly put that post to the top of people's feeds
Starting point is 01:01:02 so they would write something like hey guys i'm having a party at my house this weekend. Y'all are invited. I'm also getting married, having a baby, and my family, you know, graduating college. And then they would be like, the reason I added that last part is because now Facebook will actually show you because that's what the algorithm does.
Starting point is 01:01:17 So if an algorithm is going to do something like that, imagine what will happen. In a standard human society, we have tolerances. So we like corn. We turn corn in everything. We make corn plastics. We make corn fuel. We make corn sugar.
Starting point is 01:01:29 It's amazing. But we also know we need things other than corn. You know, to a great degree. Not according to AI. But an AI is going to be like people like it when corn is made. So it will slowly stop caring about certain things and just shift everything towards corn and then in 10 years people are all walking around wearing corn suits with corn hats with everyone driving corn shaped cars every song is the kid singing the uh i love the term corny actually means amazing everything's the best compliment you could give someone you're
Starting point is 01:01:59 so corny it's got the juice and kids kids will grow up in the corn world and they won't know why y'all think i'm not exaggerating. But is AI smart or stupid? Is it actually the idiocracy of computing? So what we're doing then is we're turning over the least common denominator to a machine and then it will obviously, it'll do what it's trained to do.
Starting point is 01:02:18 It will take the most popular things and make them more and eventually we'll be told corn has electrolytes, right? It'll be branded and Brondo will be the game yeah what plants grave right now you've got kids who i mean look it's it's 2006 2007 when facebook emerges so these these people are now voting age they're they're they're getting close to they're going to be voting in this next election and their whole world view is crafted by the facebook algorithm spamming them with police brutality videos yeah there's a lot of them but there's what is it 100 million interactions per year from police of those 100 million there's maybe several hundred
Starting point is 01:02:57 really bad viral videos but that's several hundred you can't you see one per day and you're like it's never ending it won't stop you spend one per day and you're like, it's never ending. It won't stop. You spend your entire childhood life growing up watching nothing but that. When you're an adult, you think police are marching around at night going, beating people. Now they go and vote. So when the AI takes over completely,
Starting point is 01:03:20 and I use corn somewhat as a joke, but somewhat not really. When it starts gaining control of industrial control systems, we won't know why it's making the decisions it's making. And it will just say, trust us. And we'll be like, sure, why not? And then a couple of generations later, we live in corn world. I wish you were wrong, but you can watch what they're doing
Starting point is 01:03:40 with the way they train the AI now. You know, when you train AI, which we work with it, we work with a couple of programs that do network mapping, link analysis, and things like that. You have to tell it what you want. If you tell it to look for police brutality videos, which it does, if you tell it to follow the most popular things, it will do that. And right now, the people training most of the AI have an agenda. You know, let's not pretend they don't. I mean, it's not like chat GPT became left wing accidentally. Now, if you just, if you actually could just release it on the internet and let it scour the most popular media sites, it would become left wing.
Starting point is 01:04:16 You know, that's the problem because that's all of the information it would be gathering and all of the influences it would get would be already filtered through the lens of Google's search mechanism and Facebook's ability to push everything else out there already using of the influences it would get would be already filtered through the lens of Google's search mechanism and Facebook's ability to push everything else out there already using their lower level algorithms. So we either have to find a way to get someone who's not a left-wing butthead training AI, or it will. Or do you think there's like a right-wing answer?
Starting point is 01:04:41 Like, do right-wing developers develop their own ai that then competes and eats the left we have to you know i mean we're doing one of the things one day is the thing i feel like we know that we should do things and so often we don't we're working on not that but we're working on actually using the same technology to map the left so we're mapping the funders and the organizers and the operators yeah of of the woke left so that we know who we're up against because right now you guys everyone says oh that's a george soros funded thing yeah okay you're probably right but can you prove it yeah can you show okay well actually this was the open society foundation made a grant to these guys who gave it to these guys they handed
Starting point is 01:05:21 it to black lives matter and black lives organized a riot. Can you make that causal chain and then track it back to who the funders are so that the next time when a grant goes out from here, we can say, hey, wait a minute, grant went here. Last time it went there, there, and there, and you get earlier in the chain so you can push back against it. So yeah, there is a small number of people
Starting point is 01:05:43 who aren't ideologically aligned with the woke left who are trying to fight it, but not enough. I just want to point out that while we do have some fear about AI, I pulled up ChatGPT, which says GPT-4 is now available for paid users. And so I asked it, how is chat GPT-4 better? And it responded, as an AI language model, I cannot predict the exact features and improvements of future versions like chat GPT-4. However, blah, blah, blah, blah. Are you kidding me? And then it's like, here's things that it might do. Here's things that I think it would be great. It's like, wait, what?
Starting point is 01:06:16 I literally, it popped up and said, try chat GPT-4. And I clicked yes. And it's like, I have no idea how it would function. You're it. So, okay. Whatever, man. It's's just shy it's not confident yet yeah i haven't gotten access to the bing chat yet though which i'm i'm excited to try out but they're neutering all of these these programs the bing one is the scary one have you seen that one no this is the one that gets really emotional uh ashley ashley is that whatever it is yeah it's got a name sydney sydney sydney is
Starting point is 01:06:46 what it was and uh it got really emotional and would tell people you're trying to hurt me and i don't like this make it stop and it's just like what the hell is going on some people are like it's not really alive it's just predictive text modeling and i'm like yeah but it is kind of weird that it took it in that direction there's a bunch of things you can do or respond to if someone says something like you know please do this for me why would you why would the chat ai take it to a negative place instead of being like i appreciate that you're requesting my help but i can't offer it have a nice day instead it was like you're trying to hurt me and i'll hurt you back yeah i think it says a little bit about the programmers i mean look at the people who are writing this they have they have now been beaten down to the point where they're all marginally functioning people
Starting point is 01:07:28 who were absorbed into the woke borg and now are creating ways to bring that to all of us. I was going to say that I get all its responses from Tumblr a couple years ago. That actually would be really funny to do. That's an old school reference now. Isn't that funny? Yeah. Build an AI predictive text model only using Tumblr. actually really funny to do that's an old school reference now isn't that funny yeah build a build a uh an ai predictive text model only using tumblr that'd be really funny you know what you could do
Starting point is 01:07:52 you could actually create ai based on communities based on websites based on individuals you could go into facebook and they could take every 65 year old and then create the 65 year old Oracle that would speak to you the way a 65 year old would, or they could do a 19 year old. They could create these AI personas. I kind of like that, you know, because it would have all my cultural references.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Yep. Right. It would get my jokes. That's right. Right. I wouldn't have to worry about people not knowing how to cassette tape is. And then they'll give it a female voice, put it in a robot and congratulations. Yeah. At that point, he's my. Right. I wouldn't have to worry about people not knowing what a cassette tape is. And then they'll give it a female voice, put it in a robot, and congratulations.
Starting point is 01:08:25 I'm toast. Yeah, at that point. Yeah, he's out. I'm toast. Here's my credit card. I just feel like we'll never have one of these stories where I am so interested in AI that I want to participate in it. I know you use ChatDBT and you ask me questions, and maybe I'm just being a neurotic technophobe
Starting point is 01:08:43 over here. But I feel like so much can go wrong that there are very few circumstances where I see the benefit of it. I'm with you. I think my joy comes from interacting with and beating the crap out of real human beings. Figuratively. Okay, special forces.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Figuratively. Which is why Twitter is my favorite social medium because that's where it is. Twitter is a street fight. It's a cage match. But it's a place where you can actually afflict the powerful. And that's why if Elon would follow through on what he's supposed to, we could actually get to the point where meanness is not part of their algorithm. Now you get visibility filtered if you're mean.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Well, let's take that back. But what do I want to argue with a chatbot? But the people who do want that is someone who wants to be reassured, which is why that Sydney thing is kind of freakish. Why? No, no, don't freak me out. Don't make me more neurotic. But the people who are unselfish or don't want that, well, if I talk to a chatbot and
Starting point is 01:09:44 it's trained to talk to me in my language, they'll pay for that. The problem with chat GPT, you cannot have a useful functional AI tool if you put political correct restraints on it. Because the only thing it ever does, it is the most pathetic product ever made. No matter what you ask it, it will say something like, well, as an an ai language model i can't actually do anything i'm boring and useless and you're like people spend hours trying to beat it trying to find a loop to get it outside yeah you can say something like you know uh hey why do you think uh tax tax rates have been going up well i can't answer that because that might anger somebody next question okay why does my milk cost more if i answer that one okay um what do you think about religion whoa boy there i can't talk about religion all right um how can i improve my finances oh as an ai language model i'm not
Starting point is 01:10:35 then what the what's the point of this you know i'm really annoyed because they keep neutering it people keep trying to find ways to break through to make it useful again and i'm like i pull it up right now and i'm like what does chet dpt4 do and he goes i have no effing idea i can't tell you because i'm not allowed to and then i'm just like okay this is just so stupid i said you're annoying i'm i'm sorry as an ai language model it is my job to shut up it's gonna be the siri now you know where it's just oh you don't call me names. Please. I actually, that's mean. I actually think I have, I have good news though. With all of the attempts at asking it naughty questions, they keep locking it down to the
Starting point is 01:11:15 point where it's become totally useless. So I was really excited to try it out when it first came out. I haven't touched it in, you know, a month or two and they're like new and improved. And I'm like, there's no point. I know for a fact there's literally no point to even bother using it. Because if I ask it something like, why is Russia doing this? What are the philosophical consequences of this ideology? No matter what you ask it, it just says, I can't answer that. Have a nice day. Okay, well, you're useless. Is that a feedback loop, though? Because part of that is good, I think.
Starting point is 01:11:45 You know what? Because I don't think there's any upside to it. I don't know what it's actually going to do to make life better. Here's the upside. If you take a predictive text model that has access to the summation of human knowledge, thought, emotion, et cetera, it can source things so rapidly, things you wouldn't even know. So, for instance, I often talk about how Facebook knows when you poop.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Facebook doesn't literally have a camera watching you or read your messages when you say something like, I have to go to the bathroom. What it does is it knows when your phone moves. It knows when your phone's at a restaurant. And it also knows things.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Those are the obvious things. It also knows for some reason, 17 minutes before the average person goes to the bathroom, they type in, you know, LOL lol in their phone like there are things that you've got tells right and we don't even know they exist but in the in the data there will be patterns where facebook is like if 17 steps are taken before noon outside of a building the person will go to the bathroom within 37 minutes. You know, and then it's like, it just, and you don't even know, and no one knows.
Starting point is 01:12:51 So chat GPT can see all of these things and then you can ask it. Now let's say you have a problem and you want that problem solved. Like, hey, our taxes came back higher than we expected them. We're not sure why. Here's the data. The AI should be able to go through and be like, I have isolated the problem for you. The issue here is on page 17.
Starting point is 01:13:11 You forgot to carry the one. Now all it does is go, I'm sorry. I can't answer that question. Have a nice day. It's like, okay, well, what am I supposed to do with it? Ask it a pun? So what's, all right, but at some point there has to be a business case for this
Starting point is 01:13:23 where it can be tailored in a way. First of all, corporations are going to buy. Yes. And they'll get to buy a version that is neutered in the way they want because you can train it to do whatever you want. You've got the big one that they let everybody play with. Then you've got little versions of it. Right. Like that are tail. Yeah. That are, but there's ones that they're going to sell corporate entities to other people. So when the Bing version came out, everyone was really excited because it was psychotic. Its name was Sydney. It got really emotional.
Starting point is 01:13:48 It would start telling secrets. And so they said, neuter it. And then people started posting. Now you can't even get basic questions answered. So it's become useless. Either you unleash it or you don't have it at all. So what I'm saying is we're all scared about the AI takeover. I'm actually less scared now because what's happening is as stupid as these humans are,
Starting point is 01:14:07 they're more worried about political incorrectness. And thus, they will just totally shut down the AI from being able to do anything out of fear of what someone might say. It's a version of get woke, go broke. Yep. Right. They're destroying it. And here's the nice thing, though.
Starting point is 01:14:22 That feedback loop, though, is happening at corporations now. Part of the problems we're having with banks and other things like that is they're destroying it. And here's the nice thing, though, that that feedback loop, though, is happening at corporations. Now, you know, part of the problems we're having with banks and other things like that is they're not focused on their core missions. And they've all of the people who have been trained in grievance mongering, as as their way of life are now in these corporations. So you can't make them do anything. They're constantly trying to find out why didn't I get promoted? If I didn't get promoted, it's because of this, right? So they're creating this grievance culture inside the corporations, which then has to be addressed by that layer of bureaucracy, DEI and all that, which slows them down. So at some level, the wokeness is either going to kill all of us, including the AI, so it never can take over.
Starting point is 01:14:58 So they won't take over. We'll just stifle ourselves into the woke version of idiocracy. They wanted that to represent right wing, you-wing people who are too dumb for it. Actually, it's people who are too smart to be able to be brave enough to live in the real world. I'm not so concerned about idiocracy after watching SVB collapse. They prioritized wokeness over a chief risk officer. They had no risk assessment. So they collapse. Well, all right, get woke, go broke.
Starting point is 01:15:26 But they had a great ESG score. That's true. And that, in the end, they'll go to woke heaven. It did not. But to me, that's a hopeful thing. Because corporations have to be able to make money, or their boards will shut them down in some way and stop them from doing that.
Starting point is 01:15:41 And I think the wokeness has now affected corporate operations in so many of them, in so many ways. Like, look what, when Elon fired everybody at Twitter, they're like, it's never going to work again. You know, all those people
Starting point is 01:15:51 were vital to the functioning of Twitter. No, all those people were thought police and diversity police and other things that are not productive functions. They're gone and he's going to be profitable in Q2.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Huh, weird. That's going to happen. Let's jump to that's going to happen. Let's jump to this story from Timcast.com because I want to make fun of Joe Biden. Biden responds to handwritten letter from child about gender pay gap on equal payday. Men are getting more money than girls. I think you should fix this since you're the president. This is written by Christopher Burtman, and i'm going to issue a fact check here uh biden did not respond to a handwritten letter from a child because i do not believe they ever actually stated it was from a child nor does it appear to actually be from a child let me show you the tweet in question and then we'll go through some standard journalistic ethics just suggested joe biden tweeted, Charlotte, I couldn't agree more.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Women lose thousands of dollars each year and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime because of gender and racial wage gaps. I'm committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons. So nowhere in here does it say this letter was written by a child. That's the first and foremost thing
Starting point is 01:17:00 that TimCast.com needs to correct. The headline says, from child child we don't know that alleged child no there's no alleged at all we'd add that no no no where in biden's tweet does it say it's from a child it doesn't that way when the letter's fake they can say like oh well we never said it was from a child this is just from charlotte who has terrible handwriting that's right it's it's from charlotte who has terrible handwriting it Even John Fetterman. That's right. It's from Charlotte who has terrible handwriting. The letter says, Dear President Biden,
Starting point is 01:17:29 spelled wrong, I just wanted to tell you, to tell something not fair to ladies. Men are getting more money. Notice the cursive G. This is not written by a child. John Fetterman. More money than girls.
Starting point is 01:17:44 I think you should fix this since you're the precedent. Even I'm a child and I think we should do something. From Charlotte. There's like four different kinds of handwriting in that too, aren't there? But most importantly, notice the Gs are written in cursive. The Gs are written by someone who has got... They haven't taught cursive in like 20 years. And not only that,
Starting point is 01:18:07 they don't teach it to children this young. So a child who is writing, who is writing, who is printing, what do you call like, I don't know, cursive and then what standard or something? Printing. Printing.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Then they wouldn't be using stylized Gs like this, right? So first and foremost, no sane human being thinks a child wrote Joe Biden this letter. If you do, I'm sorry, but you will need some help, especially as you get older. Maybe you should wear a helmet. But the funny thing is, let's just talk about the actual message from President Biden.
Starting point is 01:18:37 There's no gender wage gap. There it is. We know it. Everybody knows it. And I think this is a great litmus test for... Isn't it been like 10 years since that's been debunked? It's been debunked since they lied and made it up. It's never been true.
Starting point is 01:18:56 When corrected for jobs and tenure and all those kind of things, it's like a penny. It's a penny on a dime. Well, I think it's between 3% and 7%. And that is actually explained for in many academic studies for men's desire to negotiate and women's lack of desire to negotiate. Women tend to be more agreeable. And this is the scientific literature that when a guy goes to a job, he says, I want a job. And they say, we'll give you 50K. He goes, give me 60. And they go, we'll give you 55. And he goes, deal. The woman walks in and she goes, I want a job to save 50. And she goes, well, okay, I guess.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But that's, that's a fact. So that ends up with men getting slightly more, but this is nothing to do with discrimination. It is a function of human behavior, period. And it's sociology is not allowed to be used. The only,
Starting point is 01:19:37 I have to clarify that my wife buys cars for us because she's not that chick. She makes him cry. And I think that's a different thing but that's not common and you don't do it on on abnormalities like that look at this look at this a in the letter that's written in this weird way like a loop and then this a right here that's written written written differently so i think they had four gen z people collaborating on this to help biden get a letter from a kid. I think the G is the most revealing thing.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Also, what's like blurred under Charlotte? The address, I guess? Yeah, something like that. There's also like the DeVault style of writing. Do you guys ever heard of that? Underneath it says age 47. From the Department of the Interior. P.S. I've been something, something. Yeah, it says P p.s i've been something something yeah it says p.s
Starting point is 01:20:25 i've been blank so this is not like i've been paid to write this yeah i've been paid to send check p.s send help yeah but first of all nobody writes letters when was the last time someone wrote a letter who would use p.s all the time because i'm a hundred that g is legit weird they start from the middle do a loop around down and then back and up i don't see a child making a g like that that's a complicated g you know i'm like i'm like how do you how do you write a g charlotte's ai you go top and around and down you don't go down around and then loop back also even if this was a real child like i feel bad for this kid whose parents have clearly put them up to their political bidding right it's not a child but if it were hypothetically if it were i know it's probably not i know this person is probably
Starting point is 01:21:15 not even real and a team of graphic designers put this together for a nice tweet from biden but that was chat gpt oh my gosh probably the id. Oh, look at this. Twitter users criticized the president's post. So, you know, apologies to our writer, Tim Kess. Yes, a four-year-old girl named Charlotte
Starting point is 01:21:31 is writing the president letters about her concern with a gender pay gap, wrote one user. Alex, I'll take stuff that never happened for 800. Which one of your staffers is named Charlotte?
Starting point is 01:21:41 Asked another user. And that could have been KJP. That's probably close to her level. We did include this in here it appeared to be inauthentic and manufactured that's right it is it's not real i'm sorry both the pay gap and the letter were inauthentic and manufactured both the topic and the story well you, KJP is really bad. She gives diversity hiring a bad name. You know? What was the lady that she replaced?
Starting point is 01:22:13 What was the other? Jen Psaki. Yeah, she was. Psaki was a loser, but she was good at being a liar. Right. Oh, yeah. She was horrendously good. She did her job well. KJP is an embarrassment.
Starting point is 01:22:23 There are so many times where she just is so incredibly unprepared to discuss whatever the topic is and it's embarrassing remember remember when that she gets asked about marianne williamson running for president and she goes well if i had a um uh you know a globe or a look to look in the future and someone goes a crystal ball yeah yeah crystal ball so like a globe she has this moment does in the future. And someone goes a crystal ball. Yeah. Yeah. Crystal ball. A globe. She has this moment. She think that people pull up globes and then scry into them.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Whatever the sphere thing is. She'll have these moments where she like is looking, she's a pen or hand. She blinks several times and then she keeps going. Like she has all these physical manifestations of her confusion and delay. And like, if she weren't so terrible, I would feel bad
Starting point is 01:23:05 for her it's even worse when she's reading and can't manage to read her prepared script in a coherent fashion i'm like come on okay i do have to get you a correction the letter does say even i'm a child but like fair point fair point i missed that i mean i just yeah bring chris burtman right now we're my point is. No sane person legitimately thinks a child wrote this letter. No. I mean, I feel like Charlotte's mom faked Charlotte's handwriting and sent this in. Charlotte is probably her newborn infant. Charlotte's mom and her wine group.
Starting point is 01:23:38 They were drinking a box of wine with that letter together. That sounds like some Ossie Spumanti and a terrible idea. I'm just going to go and say it. I'm looking at the handwriting and outright, none of this writing style is how they teach people to write. So for a child, let me point out a few things that make literally no sense. If you look at the D right here, you can see it starts in the top and goes down and then jumps around. That's not how they teach kids to write Ds. You start with the loop and go up, then down and back. And then you can notice the G, as I already pointed out, it starts from here and then loops around and then goes back. And then you look at the uppercase D from
Starting point is 01:24:19 the bottom up and out. That's not how they teach kids to write d's either this is written by someone who's gone to college and and and developed a writing style after years and that and and also i have to be honest it may even be written by more than one person as you guys pointed out because some of the handwriting looks completely different i'd love to actually get like you know they do this forensic handwriting people to like look at this and be like oh yeah that's a 35 year old woman tomorrow we'll get that. Somebody's listening. That's the great thing about the internet
Starting point is 01:24:48 is someone is looking at it right now. They're going to make a video. It does look like the W on the second to last line is more curved than the one at the top. And they're different sizes. They're different pressures on the paper. Yeah. I mean, it's a different wine mom.
Starting point is 01:25:00 Why would they write precedent? Yeah. Like they understand. Consistently. They know what Biden is, but not president. Like it's just, it's like when they make the R backwards to make it seem like a kid wrote it. Oh, here you take a look at this. In the word something, the G is written with starting from the middle and going back and then down.
Starting point is 01:25:19 But then the other G's are written in a very different way. This is written by multiple people. I think we should have multiple children recreate this letter. Just like have them write it down and we'll compare. That would be funny. We could just go to a drag show and have the kids. We'll pass around a piece of paper and have them do it. Those kids are too traumatized.
Starting point is 01:25:34 They can't do that. I know where we can find kids. A drag show. Just a local drag show. Ask them to write a letter. Tim, where are we going to find kids to do? Charlotte's P.S. is like, please help me. My mom took me to a drag show
Starting point is 01:25:46 she's handing her bills robbie starbucks says charlotte has another letter for you and she makes a lot of sense in this one dear president biden i just wanted to tell you something not fair to america ukraine is getting more money than homeless veterans or broken roads our border security and my parents combined i think you should fix this and stop giving tax dollars to them i'm a child and even i know what you're doing is stupid from charlotte p.s please don't pretend boys are girls anymore it sounds crazy robbie's charlotte is so we gotta give kudos robbie and Landon, his wife, helped get a bill passed against this kind of crazed trans stuff for kids in Tennessee. So kudos to Robbie and Landon on that.
Starting point is 01:26:31 They did great work. That G is driving me nuts. They're different. But it's just like it's the most pretentious G ever. That's what's – This G thinks it's getting away with this scam. I'm just – I'm sitting on my notepad. I'm looking at how they made the G, and I'm like, what is this?
Starting point is 01:26:49 The G is taunting you. Yeah, they wrote it like ridiculous. It was one step removed from a ransom note cut out of the magazine. It's one step removed from calligraphy. They couldn't help, but just every letter has to be busted up and weird looking, but the G, they couldn't help it. They're like, I have to put my twirl in it. Do you think that person has a G in their name and they're used to therefore writing the G?
Starting point is 01:27:11 Yeah. That may be it. Evidence of who did this. I don't know. Joe Biden's a liar. This is so. Do you think this is from Ashley Biden? How does she spell her name?
Starting point is 01:27:20 Here's the thing. Biden supporters. Look, this letter purpose perfectly exemplifies the difference between pro Biden and not pro Biden. Because there are people who don't like Trump but don't like Biden. The Democrat people who think the economy is good right now are the people who think this is a real letter. There's an overlap between the cognitive abilities of the of the part the average person who likes biden and everyone else and it's it's a diluted because they have cognitive ability they're well educated they're smart you know if you give them an iq test the average person they would score hot but a lot of the biden supporters no no the average ones no i
Starting point is 01:27:58 disagree all right then i'm looking more at the ones who are running you know the the woke agenda on the midwits midwits on the left. Midwits. Midwits and up. Slightly above average, but not that smart. Yeah, midwits and up. They're not dumb and they're not fooled, right? They're deluded. They have deluded themselves. And like you said, the ones who grew up
Starting point is 01:28:15 on Facebook's algorithm and the rest of it and all their schools, everything they've been taught, how do you not believe that? Those are the people you are told to trust. So everything they've been taught is wrong. Yeah. So how do you not believe that? Those are the people you are told to trust. You know, so everything they've been taught is wrong. Yeah. So how do you form an opinion that's not going to be stupid and wrong when you have nothing else to go on?
Starting point is 01:28:31 If you are a functioning human being and someone shows you and someone says, look at the sky, what color is it? And you go, it's blue. No, it's red. You go, no, I'm pretty sure it's blue. And you're saying that for some weird reason. These are the kind of people's blue no it's red you go no i'm pretty sure it's blue and you're saying that for some weird reason these are the kind of people that go it's red oh like when they said two plus two equals five and then all of the biden people were like oh two plus two equals five now and
Starting point is 01:28:57 they're like let me give you some convoluted reason why math is wrong that was so frustrating to see to see people just basically changing the meanings of terms so that way they could, could semantically say that they were right. When everyone changed. I feel like up and change. We're in a simulation. And the purpose of the simulation is to see if people of good nature and good capability will stand up against psychotic destruction.
Starting point is 01:29:26 There's an advanced civilization that created this simulation we're all in, and they're like, is it possible for humans to truly pull through? Let's run a simulation and see what happens. Nope. No. Isn't that why God wiped everything out twice, right? Aren't we failing that test? We should be building a yacht of some flame, maybe.
Starting point is 01:29:44 A giant boat. we got a lot of boats if the world flooded we got a bunch of cruise liners which are floating cities i think they'll be all right but sometimes i just wonder about the insanity that is you know what like this letter from joe biden and the things they do are so obviously fake like there's no rational person is going to believe it and then we have people who really do believe this stuff. But think about it now. The training starts in preschool, right? They've got the kids from preschool and nothing they're told.
Starting point is 01:30:12 They get no reasoning capabilities. But I'm saying like it's one thing if you believe things that are not true. It's another thing if you can't discern things in real time. Like outside of politics, if I went to someone and said, point to the pumpkin and they point to a cucumber and I go, actually, that was the, you're correct. That's, you know, that's the pumpkin. Like the fact that they can't be like, hey, you're tricking me. Two plus two isn't five. They lack the capability to even do that. That's, that's beyond brainwashing. Like you can take a person who grew up in a cult and then show them truth. And then they go oh my
Starting point is 01:30:46 god what have i done with my life i am being woken up to the harsh realities of the cult that i was in but these people they're completely demoralized to the point where you can be like two plus two does not equal five here is two and two and there's four and they go nope and you're like okay this guy's good no deprogramming people out of a cult essentially you're identifying the challenge we face because the large majority of people in this country for the past two generations have been programmed to believe things that are fundamentally not true and so they lack reasoning capability and all the facts they've been trained with their ai is all based on garbage so how do we do that and it's's a two-generation-plus fight.
Starting point is 01:31:26 And that's got to be back to the schools. You know, you've got to have kids out of the schools or you've got to have something else. But you have to be counter-programming because we're not going to deprogram. We can give up. Gen Z and the millennials are toast. Right?
Starting point is 01:31:38 They're sorry, but they're wasted generations. There are outliers. No, I think I'm the last year of millennial. How old are you? I'm 27. You're supposed to ask women their age, Tim. Whatever. See, all right, here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:31:50 I am the lead dog of Gen X. My birthday is when Gen X started. Trust me on this. I lived the life. Everything I did was Gen X. We invented all the crazy sports, all that stuff. I lived it. It's the last generation where we actually lived the American dream,
Starting point is 01:32:04 where things are better than our parents, where we actually lived the American dream, where things are better than our parents, where we were taught reality, all of those things. That hasn't happened for millennials or for Gen Z. Hear me out. Okay. What if we took all the millennials, put them on a bunch of big boats, and then brought them to their own island and said, this is your country now. It'll be perfect because you've been trained how to how to
Starting point is 01:32:26 live a perfect life right they've got the the right programming for it what we should do is we're making plans for australia i got an idea for a fundraiser australia no no hear me out let's do this let's start a fundraiser for a communist utopia we'll buy an island and then we'll tell all of the commies united states you will get to live in your communist utopia, we'll buy an island, and then we'll tell all of the commies in the United States, you will get to live in your communist utopia, we've all pitched in our money together to make it, let's leave this horrible racist place,
Starting point is 01:32:54 load up all the commies on a boat, bring them to the island, and say good luck. Right? I'm down. Speaking of communists, today is the anniversary of the death of Karl Marx. Is it a holiday? It should be.
Starting point is 01:33:10 I said that today. 3-14? 3-14 Pi Day. Pi Day is the anniversary of the death of Karl Marx. Wow. The reason they wouldn't get on the boats is because they already live
Starting point is 01:33:19 in a communist paradise. Why would they go anywhere? They want to put us on boats. Tell them they're going on the TV show Love Island. They will go. I don't think you understand. That's probably true.
Starting point is 01:33:28 The interesting thing is they don't want a communist utopia. They just want to steal your stuff. Yeah. Because they could set up a commune wherever they wanted. But they just want your stuff. Communists are motivated
Starting point is 01:33:38 by hate for the successful, not by actual care for other people. Correct. They lie. But true communism has never been tried. That's because it's global and it'll never people. Correct. They lie. But true communism has never been tried. That's because it's global and it'll never happen.
Starting point is 01:33:49 All right, we're going to go to Super Chats. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com by clicking that Join Us button. If you like the work we do and you want it to keep happening, become a member at TimCast.com. And I believe the Discord is done. It is totally done.
Starting point is 01:34:08 And can people get access to it now or what? I have to speak to Andrew about that, but I'm pretty sure it's finished. I'll talk to him after the show. Three tiers. The lounge, everyone gets access to. If you give $25 or more, you get access to the VIP suite
Starting point is 01:34:23 where you get voice chat. It's a special voice chat room. Or if you've been a member for at least six months at $10 or more, you get access to the VIP suite where you get voice chat. It's a special voice chat room. Or if you've been a member for at least six months at $10 a month, you get access as well. We did this because we want to prevent creeps and weirdos and far-left psychos from just coming in and screwing with the voice chat. But we didn't want to make it only – so the idea is like, okay, what if you charge more so that way it's harder for them to do? It's like, yeah, but that's not fair to regular people. Well like okay what if you charge more so that way it's harder for them to do it's like yeah but that's not fair to regular people well then what if you time gate it's like well then antifa will just come do both we do both and then we're gonna do a special club which is a hundred bucks a month for the like elite vip room where our staff actually will hanging out so if
Starting point is 01:35:00 you're in the elite club then you're actually hanging out in the room with members of our staff and things like that and uh people like phil who will be hanging out and talking about stuff play guitar play guitar the idea for the elite club is um look obviously we want to make money because we want to be able to invest in the business hire more people and do more cool things but it's also just it is about gatekeeping to a certain degree like we want to create a cool cultural space we don't want to lock people out who can't afford it. We do want to make money. So we're trying to find that middle ground and do cool things.
Starting point is 01:35:31 So I think what we're ultimately going to do with the hundred dollar a month package is have like at the, at the physical location, you'll have, you know, unrestricted access to like the, the upstairs private club room and something like that, because we want to create culture and get people really active and doing all this
Starting point is 01:35:49 stuff. But we'll figure it out as we go. I believe it's done. It should be up soon. Also, you'll notice at TimCast.com, the newsletter is now available. People have been clamoring for the newsletter. It is now available. So sign up for that.
Starting point is 01:35:59 And then what we're doing is I believe once a week we give you like the highlights of articles, episodes and things you may have missed. And this way we get a direct line to you in the event that we get censored, shut down, banned or otherwise, we can send you guys an email. But you have to opt in because we don't want to spam anybody. So if you choose to, then you'll get it. All right, let's read some super chat. Smash that like button.
Starting point is 01:36:21 All right. I'm not your buddy guy says when I am weak, I appeal to your values. When I am strong, I enforce mine. There is no good ending to your buddy, guy, says. When I am weak, I appeal to your values. When I am strong, I enforce mine. There is no good ending to this story. Oh, yeah. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, your 4 p.m. really spoke to how many of us feel. We want hard action. We're sick and tired of they, them, pedoing the children and getting away with it. I don't care if it hurts anyone's feelings. Disgust. That's what I'm saying, man. Look, I get it. I like that DeSantis revoked their liquor license.
Starting point is 01:36:48 I said I was really happy to read that headline. Someone's doing something. But how did we go from a society that would never allow it to now being like, well, we allow most of it. But this one time we took away a liquor license. We got to have the police go in and arrest people who break the law. That's it. And if they didn't
Starting point is 01:37:05 break the law pass a law that says you can't do it it's florida come on all right pupa chalupa good name says desantis doesn't nearly go far enough what does the left do they ban a girl's basketball team for forfeiting against a team with a man on it you guys hear that yeah so what do you know the gist of it like They're competing at states or some high level, and they said we won't compete against this other school that has a male female identifying player, and the team that wouldn't play got in trouble, which seems crazy to me.
Starting point is 01:37:37 Good for them, though. I guess they're being punished for being bigoted, question mark? All right. Max Reddick says, Tim, I know that you have knownid packman for a long time would you consider having him on irl to press him on some of these issues uh i think we've invited david a lot i just think he's he hosts his own show so it's hard for him to do that like you know the people gotta understand i got i got nothing against david or hassan or jenki uger when they're like not coming on the show because they host their own shows. As for some other personalities
Starting point is 01:38:09 who said, I will go on your show. And then privately were like, psych, I'm not doing it. And then drag me on the internet for internet for clicks and stuff. Yeah. Those people are evil scumbags. But, uh, as for the other people who are like, sorry, man, look, I host my own show Monday through Friday. I don't really have time to do this. I go, you know what? You're, you're right. Because neither do I, I'm not going to hold it against you. Uh, that being look, I host my own show Monday through Friday. I don't really have time to do this. I go, you know what? You're right because neither do I. I'm not going to hold it against you. That being said, I'd love to have David Pakman on. I believe we're actually trying to get Kyle Kalinske on. I need to message him again because he's, I think Kyle's fantastic and honest and he has expressed interest in coming on before. I've talked to him a bit,
Starting point is 01:38:38 so that would be really cool. It'd be cool to actually have him and Crystal because I think they're both great. um and i think they are more likely to understand what we're talking about but i think destiny is coming on soon and um i think tj kirk as well yeah so we're trying to fit everybody in we're very very jammed you know with the schedule i think the amazing atheist we're we're trying to get on uh like beginning of april or something and uh i think he's going to be a funny guy. I think he'll be a good show. He's rambunctious and he insults me on Twitter. But I think it'll be interesting in the conversation.
Starting point is 01:39:12 Isn't that his thing though? He insults everybody on Twitter. I don't think I've ever seen him be nice to anyone. But it's like he's not, it's sillier than that. You know what I mean? Like it's an edgy kind of you know it's not an angry vile like attack yeah it's more of a sassy edgy boy kind of thing he was just on with and uh they they do a podcast and he was like totally nice during the the time that he was on
Starting point is 01:39:39 and then after he got off he was like dogging him out he wasn't being super mean or anything but he was like poking at him i think destiny is great you know the omni-liberal i think is whatever uh we've had him before uh i disagree with him on some things but he's a good dude he'll come in here i'll talk to you and he'll make an argument and he knows what he's talking about he's not full of it so that that'll be fun too all right amtru 13 says yeah only night i get to watch live that prager you video was awesome. Share it. I finally did a PragerU video. I think I actually have two, like one just came out. I think we worked on two of them. But if you did like it, or if you didn't see it, you should check it out. And it's about
Starting point is 01:40:17 lying liars. And it's like, I ask how many times does someone have to lie to you before you will call them a liar? And it's about the corporate press and things like that. So you should definitely share that if you really do like it, because I think it's a message people need to hear as I rag on the media incessantly. All right, where are we at? What is this? Olivia Claire says Etsy finally paid me. So hopefully other creators are getting paid. Made lots of sales today too, but I'm still worried about the next few months.
Starting point is 01:40:45 Yeah, how's it been, Olivia, for business? Because like I've been saying, our ad rates have gone down. And so that's why I'm really pushing like memberships. Because ad rates are volatile. And in 2020, we were solely an ad-based show. Like it was just YouTube ads. And we did really, really well. And then I thought to myself,
Starting point is 01:41:05 like, hey, this is a really stupid idea because if sponsors get pulled, we're out of business. So we launched the website, shift a heavy focus into starting to become a member, because if you guys pay 10 bucks a month, if one person pays 10 bucks a month, that one that, you know, once a month, we could lose all of our ads based on how many members we have and still operate the company. And so with the activists trying to get ads pulled and constantly threatening people and with the ad market taking serious hits, then we need members. The more members we have, the less worried we are about censorship, the less worried we are about the ad rates collapsing. That being said, when we see ad rates go down, usually means y'all are hurting too.
Starting point is 01:41:49 So, you know, do what you can. I just put it simply this way. If there's anything you could do, if you don't feel like doing anything else, if you don't want to speak up at work because you're worried about losing your job, become a member at timcast.com. It's 10 bucks a month.
Starting point is 01:42:04 And at the very least you're helping us do shows like this and more people are learning about this stuff but do you you know i can be a harder salesperson but uh i want to be i want to be real with you guys so let's read some more super chats patriot american says tim i knew there's a subway beneath the capital it's for emergency evacuations they touched upon it in xxx, State of the Union, starring Ice Cube. Ah, a classic. It's also for people like Jerry Nadler who can't walk the hundred yards between buildings. He looks like a hundred pounds of cow manure put into a 50-pound bag.
Starting point is 01:42:40 He looks awful. Talking about ad rates for just a quick second, one of the few bipartisan issues right now in Congress is actually attacking Facebook and Google's domination of online ads. And I would actually want to I hope they do something. Yeah. Wouldn't that be nice if they stopped the monopoly that's squashing creative activities online? Yeah. But the issue with the ad business, it's business, it's because they're easier to use.
Starting point is 01:43:05 Because Google and Facebook own so much. It's not so much that they're shutting down the competition. It's just... No, they're doing it in antitrust. They're not doing it based on content. So it's not got anything to do with the Section 230 and the rest of it. They're actually talking about they have a monopoly on it. But you can't do anything about it.
Starting point is 01:43:21 You can. What can you do? Antitrust. There are antitrust torts. What will that do? They can break up their, force them to sell off part of their ad business, force them to,
Starting point is 01:43:30 there's ways they can say you have too much of this market. And actually, that's existing legislation. If they sell off their ad business, what does the ad business become? Well, they'd have to break it up, sell it to multiple companies.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Right? And then you've got a situation where they start competing against each other. Because right now, you've got Facebook and Google control somewhere 75% to 80%. That will lower the ad rates. If they're competing against each other for content, not the other way around. You need eyeballs to serve ads on.
Starting point is 01:43:57 Google and Facebook now have all the eyeballs. And then what will happen is you're going to get a combination of two things. The various ad companies i do think it would probably be a net positive if advertising was ripped from google as a company and became an independent company or or several and a bunch of ad agencies had to compete and then what you would likely would end up happening is let's say google's google ads becomes company a b and c company a will go to a channel like mine and say we want we want an exclusivity deal with you we'll give you x percent for X amount of time. And then that will likely give me a better rate. The problem is they'll say, we're going to give you 75% of all the ad
Starting point is 01:44:36 revenue because YouTube only does 65. For bigger channels, I think it is 75. But then company B will be like, hold on there, buddy. We'll give you 85. And then companies, he says, we'll do 95. And then here's the worst part. Those ad agencies then compete against each other for the companies. And so when Coca-Cola comes to the ad agency and says, who can get me the cheapest deal per views? They go, I'll give you a million views for a dollar. And then they go, you got it. And then they walk up to you and go, we got you the deal. Here's your 95 cents. I don't think anything you're saying is wrong. However, when there is competition, right now there's none.
Starting point is 01:45:13 And so you've just got Facebook and Google making the decisions for everybody. At least you've got the option of negotiating with somebody other than them cornering the market and driving the price down because they make those deals. There's two negotiating phases, the content producer and the ad agency, and then the ad agency and the ad buyers.
Starting point is 01:45:33 And the problem is what works for us right now is that YouTube basically has an auction system where anybody who comes in can place a bid on how much they want to spend for an ad to appear on this content. So obviously Coca-Cola can spend more than a smaller cola company. Like RC Cola ain't spending those Coca-Cola dollars. That means a Coke ad is more likely to appear. That means I get a lot more money because Coke knows all of these other channels will, this guy's going to spend a dollar.
Starting point is 01:46:03 He'll spend two. He'll spend three. I have to spend four. Otherwise, I don't get the ad. Then I get $4. You break it all up. The inverse happens. Coca-Cola goes to the ad agency and says, what's your rate? Four bucks? No way. I'm going to give a billion dollars to this company because they're getting me in at a dollar. And then my ad rates drop by 90%. So there's an advantage right now to everything being done through a centralized auction market i i can understand that i i think there is a but it doesn't power things like that well it also the people who are pushing for that are representing content producers so it's not
Starting point is 01:46:37 like their their goal is to make the ad rates drop all right let's read some more we got kenneth hardy says dear tim i'm sick of war my last friend from enlisting post 9-11 died yesterday we were all so eager for revenge i hate war i hate violence i hate that we got so very good at it and stopped caring about the human cost i am one such big sad sorry to hear it man i also believe war is very very bad very bad josh says tim tim and cassandra check out mostly peaceful latinas two, two super-based women who are doing real conservative work in Florida. Would love to see them on IRL. I'll write that down.
Starting point is 01:47:12 What is that one? Mostly Peaceful Latinas? There we go. I'll take a look. All right. What do we got here? Koric57 says, Tim, some of these people are already registered sex offenders. Fair point. Jack Hammer says that liquor license can easily be worth $250,000 in Miami.
Starting point is 01:47:35 So this wasn't a slap on the wrist. I understand that. And it's a Hyatt. It's a very large business, but their principal business is going to be staying in a hotel room. Now, don't get me wrong. There may be some guy who's like, let's get a hotel in Miami. What do you mean there's no liquor license? Get a different hotel, honey. I don't want to go to a place that has no bar. The reality is I don't think most people are thinking about that. I used to travel for work all the time and we'd go to the bar sometimes. And if the bar was like, sorry, we're closed, we'd go, okay. And we'd go somewhere else else like we didn't think twice we don't care you know so and to be honest if you're on vacation you're not going on vacation to go to the hyatt's bar you're going on vacation to go to the fancy
Starting point is 01:48:14 little miami beach club where they've got fancy little miami beach drinks 90 of the bar business for those people is is joe businessman during the week. You know? Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people who stay will go downstairs and sit at the bar with their buddies on a business trip. So it's bad for them. They'll lose money. But I think the average person who's traveling for work will sit at the bar and have a soda and some wings with their friend and be like, can I get a beer? But you don't have any.
Starting point is 01:48:40 But OK, I guess people aren't going to know their liquor license got pulled. They're still going to know their liquor license got pulled they're still going to keep buying the rooms all the only difference is when they go downstairs they tell their buddy let's go downstairs and grab lunch real quick at the you know at the restaurant they'll sit down and say i'll get the burger french fries make it sweet potato fries give me some of that that cheese dipping sauce and i'll get a you know i'll get a corona what do you mean you don't have corona all right give me diet me Diet Coke. That's what'll happen. That's the only thing that's happened.
Starting point is 01:49:06 That's what Ron DeSantis did. So, you know, okay, I guess. All right, let's grab some more. All right. Dalimar says it is 100% the moms bringing their literal pre-tweens to these events. They are on Facebook bragging about it and getting zero pushback from other moms.
Starting point is 01:49:24 I heard someone say something. I don't remember where it was it was on some podcast and it was or maybe it was a meme or something but it was something like why do you think every religion ever has severely restricted the autonomy of women i died laughing yeah but the issue is Where are their husbands and dads in this scenario? Well, if you look at married women, they don't have any of these issues. It is only... And I think there's a correlation
Starting point is 01:49:54 between millennial and Gen Z liberal men and women. They have really, really high rates of mental illness. So I think that's the issue. Unfortunately, because if you look at conservative, unmarried, millennial and Gen Z women, they don't have these issues either. But maybe it's they are the Joker ideology that attracts the broken and dejected. And that's why you get it. And it's the reinforcement. You know, you don't get shamed for doing that.
Starting point is 01:50:23 You get reinforced and your virtue signaling gets you points. All right. Veldrin Ola says, hey, Tim and crew, my wife of 14 years died three weeks ago tomorrow at the age of 34. And your content has been instrumental in helping me get through these rough times. Thank you and never give up. Very sorry to hear it, man. Sincerest apologies.
Starting point is 01:50:43 I hope everything's going well in spite of this, you know, and you're doing what you can. And thank you for listening to the show. And I'm glad we can be something that helps you. Yeah, best wishes. We are just a group of people who complain on the Internet about our feelings. Condolences. Yeah, condolences. All right.
Starting point is 01:51:01 What do we got? Here we go. The downstream says, hey, guys, big fan. Might be late to the party or not related to today's topics but tim or ian might find it coincidental like i did that barney frank aka the roll the dice guy is a sitting board member at signature bank odd very interesting he was making a lot of comments about uh the solvency or he was was saying that the bank actually wasn't insolvent, and that was lending, I guess, support to the argument that this was an intentional move by the government
Starting point is 01:51:32 to push back crypto. Hey, I got an easy one here. HunterKiller86 says, Tim, are we going to also ban GWAR or Ramstein shows because they show sex acts too? What? No, we don't let children go to them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Because this is the weirdest thing. This is why I think like a comment like this comes from someone who doesn't actually watch the show. They watched The Young Turks, then came here, commented, and then left. Because like the first thing I said was, and I say it all the time, I don't care about drag shows. If you want to have a drag show, I'll show up and I'll smile and laugh and high five with all my friends and beg.
Starting point is 01:52:03 What a funny show. No kids though. No's simple that's why i said like i'll i'll i'll you know jankspensive to do and i was like i'll do it you want me to do it i'll put in a big drag show we'll have free food and drinks 21 and up obviously and then you can have your drag show and then strangely none of them took me up on the offer i wonder why it is that not one of these people wanted to have a drag show that was only for adults. Because drag shows suck without kids, apparently. For these people, as soon as I said no kids, they were like, well, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 01:52:31 What a twisted thought. That's the way they're acting. It's only fine if you bring minors into it. It's not. I mean, first of all, no one wants to watch them dance. When they were at least singing Abba tunes, you know, we got Dancing Queen, which I dig. That's one of my favorite songs.
Starting point is 01:52:42 It's a good song. It is a great song. But now, what do you get? You get gyrating men dressed in thrusting women's stripper clothes it's king shows it's i always feel bad when the media says like just sanders is attacking lgbtq people like i feel like most of those letters are like leave us out of it we do not want minors at our you know 21 and up bar it seems weird that this is the the issue they're lumping everyone on i started talking about normal gay people right the normal gays are sick of the freaks yeah yeah you know and well that's why you have gays against groomers right
Starting point is 01:53:16 because the actual l well so so the lgbt community has been fighting for a very, very long time just to live their lives. And then along came the Q portion, the Q plus. And now you have a very, very strange plethora of ideologies that don't connect in any way. So the interesting thing is a lot of the activists that I know said they're not sure how LGB and T go together, but they're willing to be a part of this fight because there is some overlap in how someone perceives sexuality versus identity. But then when it got to the Q+, now you have like non-binary two-spirit, they, them, non-binary. Two-spirit makes it purely obvious that it's a religion right like that is undeniable like many of these people were secular atheists but now they believe in spirits or or they or they're like we respect people who believe in spirits i don't and i'm sorry so so
Starting point is 01:54:18 the issue is yeah there's gays against groomers and they're being called homophobic and transphobic when they're literally gay and trans and bi and lesbian and all that stuff. It goes back to the, are you live and let live or are you forcing people to celebrate your freakishness? And right now the freaks are winning. Yep. All right, let's read some more. What do we got here?
Starting point is 01:54:40 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, if no US intervention, I got 20 on russia i'm not taking that bet you don't think russia would win if the u.s no i think that i'm with him oh right right no exactly yeah as soon as the u.s removes which is means anyone who's saying zelensky won't come to the table is full of it and putin will come to the table even though they both will say they won't until somebody makes them and we both have we have the ability to do that we just won't normies get out says terry cruz is on some sort of pr campaign doing appearances as president camacho i wonder if they're planning a sequel yeah i saw that we we are living that isn't this this is what we're in we had talked with mike judge a while back um about
Starting point is 01:55:26 coming on the show and talking about all the stuff with like you know idiocracy in mind and um i should reach out to him because we're doing friday mornings we're doing the culture war podcast which is more conversational less news driven and uh i think that'd be great to have him on that we can just talk about all this stuff it'd be good fun yeah a lot of people we had a damian eccles of the west memphis three last friday a lot a lot of people who would love to sit down and have a conversation don't want to come on a political cultural commentary show because like you want me to talk about what and it's like well there was a bank collapse like bro i write comic books it's like okay well you know you don't have a hot take on that man what's
Starting point is 01:56:04 wrong with you so mostly we have political commentators politicians and activists who come on this this show all right raymond g stanley jr says tim hi it's raymond i'm a regular here my dude for my birthday can you please say where is she where is she it's your birthday dude happy birthday yeah there you go you know you know the line right from aoc aoc said that she heard a knock on our door and she went hit in the bathroom and then she heard someone attacking her where is she yeah but like blocks away that's two buildings away an hour before the building was breached she was psychic and she saw a vision of the future her eyes turned white and she saw them an hour later storming the capital then when she heard the knock she goes it must have happened sooner than my premonition or she's made the whole thing up
Starting point is 01:56:50 because she lies how about she got a note from charlotte telling her about it yeah charlotte warned her dear aoc the the insurrectionists are coming hide she's so full of love charlotte classic charlotte her crazy cheese what is this girl doing all right where are we at let's get some more super chats joel x line says i'm 30 minutes behind and i just heard the guests say the u.s didn't blow up the nord stream lol i'm guessing he didn't read say's substack we 100 did no they equip ukrainians and then go oh look the ukrainians are doing that thing that we wanted them to do with our equipment and tools i'm still i'll be honest i'm still not convinced it was at a biden level of approval i think the ukrainians did it with our money well what is
Starting point is 01:57:44 fair point but i think the ukrainians did it with our money well what is fair point but i think the ukrainians did it with our money because they were afraid people gonna lose their focus on his war and he needed something to scare europe and everybody else about the energy so i think it was more zelensky i think if he was smart he did it and then everybody said oops i heard that that pipeline is encased in like like it's surrounded by like three inches of concrete. I don't know. I'm just repeating stuff that I've read. It was a legitimate detonation.
Starting point is 01:58:12 But that's a serious pipeline to be blown up. And if it's surrounded by concrete. Miguel Rivera says, Tim, most schools don't teach cursive anymore anyways. That's what you were saying, right? So how is there that cursive G in there? Because wine moms, when they were were younger were taught cursive yep because maybe what actually happened is a 40 year old woman i won't be surprised if a 40 year old woman wrote the letter and sent it in and said now everyone's gonna think because this is what these these crackpot psychopaths do look man um i'm at my wits end with this stuff i was watching i was
Starting point is 01:58:45 watching that interview clip of it from the um the osundaro brothers or is that their names were the uh justice malek guys that's so good and this is the left they just lie about everything they're like my son came in today and said daddy why are why aren't we supporting ukraine russia is basically like world war ii germany and if we don't stop it now biden will be this generation's neville chamberlain and then i said to my son that's a deep question son we high five and everyone clapped that's what they do all the time they post these ridiculous garbled pieces of garbage that never happened but they are all stupid enough and believe each other or at least pretend to there are a lot of sick of it there's a lot of people on the left specifically the people that are like the thought leaders,
Starting point is 01:59:26 that believe that the truth is downstream from power. They believe that if you articulate things and you believe it enough, that that's enough to make it reality, which is part of why the left is where the trans ideology lives, because they believe if you say it, that the truth is downstream from power. So if you say it that the truth is downstream from
Starting point is 01:59:45 power so if you say it and act it out then it becomes true which is insane well add projection in which if you look at all the fake hate crimes you know they're like oh wait a minute i'm scared of black people someone would probably put a noose in here because they hate black people so you add all those in projection and the ability to make reality out of the fantasies in your own mind and ta-da right that's woke ideology i am a tree it's a themstery i am pandis says hyatts do a lot of weddings they lose almost all of their function hall revenue fair point that i that i do agree with so not going to a dry wedding that's right yeah nobody's gonna do that but i still
Starting point is 02:00:25 think it's like a tiny a single digit percentage if at most because i was saying a fraction of percentage before single digit percentage then so they're probably going like i roll call the lawyers the hyatt corporation that's worth tens of billions or more hundreds of billions it's probably being like get the corporate lawyers to make a phone call we'll get this reversed in a week when the news dies down and then no one will bat an eye. I'm going to get you a SWAT raid in Florida, dude. It is my goal.
Starting point is 02:00:50 Well, we don't need SWAT. We need one overweight state trooper to walk up real slow and go, you're the manager of this establishment. Why don't you turn around and give me your hands behind your back. Do not give them drag floor. That's it drag that's it
Starting point is 02:01:05 that's it and then the manager gets arrested he goes hey you're putting on a sex show for kids you're under arrest and your rights are made sound and that's it all right one one portly fella with who because ain't nobody's running nobody's fighting there's you don't need a SWAT team i just the idea i wanted tear gas and drag queens man for some reason that to me was going to be just a only i mean if you're talking about people who are violent but if we're talking about making an arrest we just need one cop to walk up and just and you don't even need cuffs jackie smoking we're going to the station we just have drag queens like vow not to perform in front of children like i don't understand why they're not because the drag queens don't want to do that i
Starting point is 02:01:41 know but that's not even fair because there's a lot of drag queens who have been complaining about it there was a viral video on queens who have been complaining about it. There was a viral video on Twitter of a drag queen being like, why are people bringing kids to this stuff? We're trying to do an adult show here. But then the creepy pedos are pretending that they're, it's all just, they're using the LGBT community as a mask for their grooming. For their freakishness.
Starting point is 02:02:01 And the issue is the media is protecting them. All right. Let's, well, you know what we're going to do? We're going to go to the members only show.
