Starting point is 00:00:00 So we got these leaked videos of Tucker Carlson. Came out throughout the day and yesterday. Media Matters releases these videos where Tucker's apparently bad-mouthing Fox and then also bad-mouthing people around the set. Here's the crazy thing, though. For one, these leaks appear to be backfiring because they make Tucker look hilarious. And the other thing is, yo, I'm pretty sure they're deepfakes and not real. And some people have mentioned this, but there's one video where it's just very obviously a deepfake video.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Like Tucker's eyes are like floating around and his mouth isn't moving properly. I wonder if someone made these fake videos, sent them into Media Matters who believed it. And I wonder if they're now going to be sued into oblivion because these things look obviously fake. But we'll talk about that. The reason why I thought that one was so important is because I think they're deepfakes, and I think we should talk about what that means for the media landscape. But I know there's also another very big story.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I have good news for you. Everyone, please listen. Late night talk shows, they're gone. That's right. It's finally over. At least temporarily, thanks to the writer's strike, there's no Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Fallon, and who's that other guy that I always forget?
Starting point is 00:01:09 Who's that? Myers. Seth Myers. Yeah, he's the least important one. And then Saturday Night Live, also gone. Bill Maher, gone. John Oliver, gone. And the weirdest thing is that you have news commentary shows ceasing because they don't have writers.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So as if we needed any more proof, it was fake news. Oh, funny, funny enough. We're still here. We don't have writers. We just riff. So we'll do that.

We got a bunch of news too. There's stories around that. We got another story about Biden sending troops to the border. So this should get really interesting. We got Seamus Coughlin hanging out. I'm Seamus. I run a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes. We publish cartoons usually twice a week. We uploaded a cartoon today called The Debunkers.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We were debunking a Vox video on these horrible anti-trans laws that you all might enjoy. And I also have a podcast called Shamer. And we stream Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. Cool. I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow. I am a writer for TimCast.com. I just don't script the live IRL segments, and I'm happy to be here. We do have that gag where Jack Posobiec drove up to the house on a little electric bike carrying the TimCast IRL scripts.
Starting point is 00:04:05 That was fun. You're backtracking. It's a gag. They're lying to you. Everything is 100% scripted here. Stay on script, Taylor. They're posted on the walls, guys. Yeah, we have prompters for everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And it's just two hours of us reading teleprompters. So we all have our laptops out because we're actually just looking for our next line. That was a good point, Hannah Clare. Also, Serge is here here wouldn't it be great if every time i missed the audio and i missed this mute you guys would think it was all scripted that'd be hilarious it'd be such a good actor anyways let's go let's jump into this first story that i think spells uh the apocalypse for us we have this from the daily mail i resent
Starting point is 00:04:40 it nobody watches it because it sucks tucker carl Carlson's Carlson's unloads on Fox Nation and jokes about post-menopausal fans in leaked videos from his axed streaming show. Now, what I don't understand, this is why, you know, some of these videos came out yesterday and now we've got more today. And the reason why I didn't really, I don't really say anything is because they, I thought they were obvious deep fakes. I saw people posting these videos and I was like, ah, it's funny. They made a deep fake of Tucker Carlson.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Now I'm reading in the news that these are serious videos and I'm going to show you one that I think is absolute proof these are deep fakes. So I will warn you, there is swearing. So if you have kids and you're listening, we're going to play this video. But take a listen. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And for those that are watching, watch the video. Here we go. OK, I'm not you know what? I'm not qualified on that score. I will say that his girlfriend was kind of yummy. Just kidding. Just kidding. Case is being pulled off the bird.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah, the bird. Hey, media matters for America. Go fuck yourself. That's the first thing I want to say tonight. Second thing is is totally kidding i don't even know what his girlfriend looks like and if i did i would not find her yummy i think that's a deep fake his eyes look his eyes are floating like his head moves and his eyes don't when his mouth is like doing this weird outside thing i hope it's real but it it looks... Just watch it. Watch again and look at his teeth. Look at his upper teeth
Starting point is 00:06:08 and watch this video. And so you'll notice there's a weird thing that happens that looks like artifacting. Also, what is he even talking about? Right there. There's that part right there. And the hands look fake too. His eye looks a little weird. Yeah, look at his eyes. Oh, the thing with the mouth for sure.
Starting point is 00:06:26 The eyes definitely look funky. But here we're going to take it a level deeper. What if they actually got recorded footage of Tucker and then they doctored it to make it look freaky and off so that people would say it looks freaky and off and then get called a conspiracy theorist. How's that? Or it's actually a completely real video
Starting point is 00:06:39 and just call Tucker, we're calling him ugly. Look at his eyes. Look at the way his face looks. Look at his at his teeth oh that's no way that's real tucker's staying at home like a single tear coming down he's watching this right now like well you should come on this podcast and defend himself then that's really i mean it looks like artifacting it looks fake i just it i i can't when i saw the first few videos i'm like these are not real i didn't think they were real videos. I saw them on Twitter and people were like, ha ha, this is funny.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And I'm like, oh, that's a funny deep fake of Tucker yelling at Media Matters. And then it's apparently Media Matters is claiming it's real. Everyone in this company is thrilled. Look at his mouth. You're doing this. I've gotten more calls from people about it. Oh, that's great. Whatever I got to say.
Starting point is 00:07:21 You know what I think? I think some of it might be real. That's what. Whatever I got to say. I think some of it might be real. That's what I was thinking. Like somebody took real videos and then made deep fakes, put them together and sent it so that media matters would fall for it. I completely agree. Sex, I'd love to hit some of the fine points of technique. Wait, what? I've been on yours enough times. It's great.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I think it's totally cool. So let's um if we're gonna talk about sex I'd love to hit some of the fine points of technique there's no way that's real see I feel like it could be like everything in the show it's totally up to you well it looks like some of the
Starting point is 00:07:58 videos look very real and they add up and then some of them look completely fake so like maybe like you said there's a mixture of real videos but then they're like oh let's see how far we can push it i love the idea that someone's both yeah it's it's real video with tiny bits spliced in yeah i was i was talking about this with trump i said in 2024 the deep fakes are not going to be overt fake videos of trump saying something awful it's going to be a real press conference where they tweak one word very slightly that way no one knows what really happened
Starting point is 00:08:25 because everyone will agree. Trump was there. Trump gave a press conference. Trump did say he did not like Gouda cheese on his cheeseburger, but there'll be like one word tweaked. The example I give is they'll take something like when he said,
Starting point is 00:08:39 I'm not talking about the white nationalists because they should be condemned totally and they'll change it to some of them should be condemned totally. That way, both the left and the right agree. He was there. He condemned white nationalists. But then the left will only ever see the video, him saying some of them. And they'll go, he's trying to defend some of them. And he's not even condemning them all. And then the right will hear him say they should be. So the context becomes different. And no one knows which one's the real one. Or they're rapists, right?
Starting point is 00:09:05 That's another classic one. But you see, that was all out of context manipulation. But even that, it's like, which there was he? Because he kept saying they are sending there as in people from there, like they're criminals, they're et cetera, et cetera. But then when they transcript the final there, they put it as t-h-e-y apostrophe r-e as if he was saying they are rapists in mexico as opposed to mexico is sending their rapists over here right right right right saying right there are people there who are rapists versus they are
Starting point is 00:09:37 it's crazy how ownership versus such a small tweak can make such a big difference psychologically for people in the way that they consume content like I think deep fakes come 2024 and election season are actually probably going to be a pretty big problem when it comes to misinformation. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's unavoidable, right? Well, it just keeps getting better and better and more accurate and more realistic. I will say, though, my favorite like deep fakes are the not so serious ones where like it has like Trump, Biden and Obama playing games. Yeah. And they're just like swearing at each other one where they're talking to taylor swift
Starting point is 00:10:08 about her breakup or something i think you're right the hard thing is people will end up having two understandings of media right any clip that goes viral there'll be one that your echo chamber of twitter sees and they'll be the one that i feel like it's already like that though for the most part like we live in completely alternate realities, like completely. There's no similarities between the left and the right anymore, regardless of how hard you look for it. And even when they are, it's overshadowed by us versus them. And I think it's going to just continue to be like that.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah. I mean, there's a very legitimate question of how much effect the deep fakes are actually going to have because the media lies constantly anyway, and they're never held accountable for it. So this isn't exactly going to be any kind of change of pace. Why would Tucker say F you media matters? Because they suck. Yeah, but like, we've talked about media matters. But why would he randomly,
Starting point is 00:10:56 while being secretly recorded, just scream this out, and then that video be sent to media matters? It looks like all of these videos that are taken are right before his broadcast, I think. At least the ones that look real. It looks like he's probably just like chatting with one of his producers or something.
Starting point is 00:11:11 That's what I'm thinking. Right. But like saying FU Media Matters is very, very specific. Yeah. And I just kind of feel like that's weird. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I feel like a lot of people know Media Matters is not a very trustworthy source. Yeah, Hannah Clare says that every morning. I do. It's how I wake up. Every time she walks into the office. No, I never think about Media Matters and I know they wish I did. media matters is not a very trustworthy they've attacked claire says that every morning every time she walks into the office no i never think about media matters and i know they wish i did but the thing is like i think for tucker or you know any kind of office place you have kind of
Starting point is 00:11:34 one outlet that you know doesn't like you right so being able to say like oh i'm sorry guys like you know that's true i will say media matters does write some great hit pieces. Their hit pieces are always entertaining through and through. They're one of my favorite companies to get pieces written on. The best is they wrote a, they wrote a best of list of Tim cast, IRL episodes. And the best part was Seamus wasn't on it. I wasn't on it.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I was so upset. And that's, and so that's what I said. I said the same thing Tucker said to media matters. I would never say that on air. His swears are bad. It's funny because they were trying to find any episode where someone said something offensive and they'd find someone who said something
Starting point is 00:12:11 that was like marginally warm. Like they could squint and turn their head and make it bad. And then here's Seamus, who's on the show for like seven months arguing that gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married. Well, not that they shouldn't be allowed, but that it's literally not possible.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Gay marriage doesn't exist. They just don't want to give you attention. And they wouldn't even put your name on the list. Yeah, married. Well, not that they shouldn't be allowed, but that it's literally not possible. Gay marriage doesn't exist. They just don't want to give you attention. And they wouldn't even put your name on the list. Yeah, exactly. That's not the definition of marriage. But they did put a clip of me up in one of their articles. And the way they labeled it was they said, Timcast host says marriage equality is bad,
Starting point is 00:12:39 making it sound like it's you. And so people were sharing the article going, this is why we can't trust these people who say they're disaffected liberals. He's uttering right-wing talking points. I was like, I said that. That was me. I thought they attributed it to Ian.
Starting point is 00:12:52 No, no, no. Jezebel did that. Jezebel took one of my greatest hits, one of my best quotes about no-fault divorce and how horrible it is and how people would be more selective about who they chose to marry if that wasn't on the table.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And they attributed it to Ian. Out of all people, they gave it to Ian. Out of all people, they give it to Ian. They literally not watch this show. They're like, was it like the traditional Catholic or like the new age hippie guy? Who do we think said this here?
Starting point is 00:13:18 It's possible Ian was saying things against divorce as well, but they literally, they just took it like this. Ian was like, divorce is is super based and they're like ian crossland said never allow anyone to get divorced for any reason is it the trad catholic or the hippie guy yeah i like the idea they know you want the attention so they're like exactly that's why that's why in their like footers they're like f you ian crossland yeah seriously i'm like no they went that for me with the timcast list,
Starting point is 00:13:46 what I remember is on Twitter, everyone being like, thank you so much for this honor, Media Matters. Like I did appear on Timcast. Thank you so much. Like it's sort of its own joke. I mean, I'm sure there are people
Starting point is 00:13:55 who trust Media Matters and feel as though this was a true condemnation. I don't understand how. But you know, there are, I could name a handful of organizations that like,
Starting point is 00:14:01 if you get a label from them, it doesn't mean anything because they are so biased and they are soical recently vice did a kind of like semi hit piece on me regarding my drag coverage and said that i lied about this and exaggerated and said that you know a little girl was left unattended and then now they're out of business they're out of business because they lied about you because they lied about you i posted that meme on twitter let me pull it up. Yeah, I just want to mention something about this.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Part of why they have so much difficulty rating. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, let's look at this real quick first. Actually, it's super funny. It's a super ripped Chiba saying, it's like vice then. I will go to the most war-torn places on Earth to expose dirty politics.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Now, 10 reasons why SpongeBob is homophobic. That's so based i mean but it's like true because i worked there and then i left and you know it was like i was in ukraine at the start of the protest which eventually turned into conflict i was in turkey during the gezi park riots and the tear gas and all that stuff i was in egypt during the revolution and then uh they decided that they wanted to complain about feminist nonsense yeah we need we need a right-wing version of vice and not even necessarily like a right wing we just need a new vice somewhere that's going to go in these war-torn countries and expose these things and do these
Starting point is 00:15:13 drug documentaries and all the great work that they used to do we just need to bring that back but with a little bit of a twist because they don't want to do it anymore i feel like i was just going to mention applies to all journalists nowadays 100 yeah it's all about people call themselves a journalist when their opinion columnists but going back to what i was saying a moment ago here in the conversation on media matters and how poorly they label conservative talking points and their their limited understanding of where the overton window is with conservative thought because they consider all of it to be horrible part of this is a product of the fact that the left very poorly understands what conservatives actually believe jonathan heights research
Starting point is 00:15:55 has shown this that conservatives have a far better understanding of what liberals believe than liberals have of what conservatives believe and anyone who's ever had a conversation with someone on the left can tell you that. And so they assume that we're all sort of at the same place on the political spectrum or where we are in the political spectrum doesn't matter. And it ends up manifesting itself that way. A few years ago, there was research done on YouTube and how it radicalizes young people.
Starting point is 00:16:22 And there were these really milquetoast libertarian organizations that got put to the right of me. I remember thinking that I know that guy. He's super libertarian. He's absolutely to the left of me. Why? And then they put him as like far right
Starting point is 00:16:34 and put me as like a centrist conservative. What are you talking about? Have you ever seen those videos? I think the cut does them where you'll get like a group of girls and they have to like rank themselves in order of like attractiveness or something and then they bring in guys It's the complete opposite
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah No one has any idea what the scale is supposed to be My favorite was when there was this snooty woman They did this one where it was like IQ And this woman was just talking about how smart she was and how she was the stupidest person Has all these majors and everything and then the one person without like any majors ends up being the smartest out of all of them I think there was a study done to like correlates like testosterone levels
Starting point is 00:17:07 and political views. And as people start working out, like if liberals start working out and their testosterone raises, and as it's a continuous raise, their ideology quite literally shifts to more conservative. And it's correlated with testosterone. Mandatory boot camp. Every American mandatory boot camp, get that testosterone. Everyone's got to eat a steak. That's why they want you eating bugs and being vegan, because it lowers your testosterone. It makes you frail and dainty. You want to know what's really funny? If that's what you want to be, by all means, Bud Light's waiting for you. Because you mentioned this.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Estrogen, got to love it. When my grandfather was young, he thought he was going to be a priest, so he spent the ages of like 12 to 20 in a seminary. And then he ended up fighting in the Second World War, and he said basic training in the army was easy because of how difficult it 20 in a seminary and then he ended up fighting in the second world war and he said basic training in the army was easy because of how difficult it was in the seminary like that's how we used to train priests they had to be super hardcore they had to be able to do really difficult things yeah and now not just the priesthood but everything that a person needs to receive any kind of education to do is so unbelievably watered down that we can't expect
Starting point is 00:18:03 anything of them i mean the shows like the drag shows that I go to, a lot of them are hosted in churches. Oh my gosh. Every single time it is a woman who was a priest and she's, you know, lesbian, this lesbian, that and a priest. Not a priest. Yeah. Yeah. Not a priest.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Exactly. Certain, certain Christian denominations allow priestesses, even though there's no such thing as a priestesshood founded by Christ anywhere in scripture. That's that. That's Episcopalian.alian is that the religion episcopalians do it there's a number of there's a number of like i think there was a baptist he's he's tucker's episcopalian episcopalians are notorious for this and we did like they did allow it it's one of the reasons i left the church but like baptists allow it united methodist church in texas or like the methodist churches are always the ones with the trans flags they're everywhere until and like i have friends who grew up very liberal and they specifically seek out progressive churches so having a female priest is a way to say like
Starting point is 00:18:52 hello it's us we have we are part of the left ideology but i think ultimately it is a a sign that they are selling their theology to be a part of culture well you'll hear often i know i heard this a lot when i was going to Anglican and Episcopalian churches, was that, you know, church attendance is down. So we have to find a way to appeal to the young people. And so, you know what a great idea is? We'll put up our rainbow flag and we'll get a lady priest. And it's never the way.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Did you ever see the video of them, the church that like painted the rainbow everywhere? And then that one guy came by as she was painting the rainbow. He's like, what are you doing? Like, this is a disgrace. Like you call yourself a Christian. Like tell me where it says this is allowed in the Bible. Yeah. And she couldn't tell him.
Starting point is 00:19:31 And then, you know. Did she explain that the rainbow is God's covenant? Yeah, you know, it's meant for the sky and not outside your church. But still, you know, like, yeah, take the rainbow back. Well, I think some people came back. That's not why she was doing it. That's not why she was doing it that's not why she was doing it
Starting point is 00:19:46 embrace the embrace the rainbow look these churches will do this that marketing got you if you just did that i know they got me i saw those commercials scripture and you're talking about i know i'm thinking about skittles i'm like wait a minute it's a promise thinking about thatittles. I'm like, wait a minute, it's a promise. Thinking about that red 40. But this happens so often where these churches will go, how do we get young people? Let's be the way the world is. Hold on, the reason they're out in the world and not in churches
Starting point is 00:20:13 is because they want the world and not the church. And if you're just going to offer what the world has, you're not going to attract anyone. It would be like if a conservative organization was going, you know, there's a lot of left-wing people subscribe to these left-wing platforms. Maybe TimCast needs to become more progressive. No, that's not the point.
Starting point is 00:20:28 That's literally the reason people go to TimCast is because it's not offering what most worldly press outlets are offering with respect to progressivism. Right. And the reason people go to church is because they don't want what the world is offering. So stop trying to give people a watered-down version of it. I'm going to pull all the way back because I wanted to jump to this story from Tucker Carlson. We have this from Valuetainment.com. Check this out. Patrick Bet-David offers Tucker Carlson $100 million.
Starting point is 00:20:53 That's a lot of money, dude. Actually, it's $20 million a year over five years. So the Valuetainment podcast is offering Tucker Carlson a $100 million contract. I'm going to be honest. I kind of feel like it's just a stunt. I mean, I'm sure it's a legitimate offer, but I'm also confident that Patrick Bet-David and the Value Taming people know there's no way Tucker would take this deal.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Why would he? There's no reason for him to take it. He's going to launch his own thing, and he's going to make a billion dollars. So there's just no reason for a deal like this. But you can see just how valuable people consider Tucker Carlson. And Fox News, oh boy. I'm surprised rumble hasn't tried yet they probably did yeah behind the scenes but what what would an independent
Starting point is 00:21:30 launch from tucker look like like is he gonna go on rumble is gonna go on youtube like where do you literally facilitate his own website his own website i am here to announce that timcast is gonna make an offer tucker carlson of uh one hundred thousand dollars per year to work full time because we can't afford $100 million. That's the best we can do. Come on, Tucker. It's worth it. Come on. Yeah, you can hang out here with Seamus.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah. How much fun that would be. We have so many eggs. They have great glass bottled water. But they're worth it. So Patrick, David offered Tucker Carlson $100 million over five years, an equity stake in Valuetainment, president of Valuetainment and a board seat to project your strategic vision and voice your own podcast and other daily weekly shows, documentaries and movies
Starting point is 00:22:14 covering topics you care about. What else? We are all ears. Our conviction about freedom, liberty and truth run deep. We believe we are the absolute right fit for you in America. And I think they're in Florida, too. So maybe there could be something happening here. Maybe this is not so much a PR stunt as it is
Starting point is 00:22:31 they've already made a deal. I just feel like we saw earlier this year when people were discussing their contracts out loud and lots of drama came in. What if Tucker publishes the contract? Tucker's like, they gave me this contract that says they're only going to give me $100 million over four years.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I can make way more money than that. But that includes all of my staff, which get paid a lot of money. It also includes production costs, because we like to make skits. It's going to be a lot, and I would just prefer this didn't happen. I mean, I have said for a while that I think
Starting point is 00:23:01 there will be a big push from mainstream media outlets that are trying to compete with fox to try and get tucker carlson on their show i don't know i mean after years he's he was on fox for like what over a decade he's been doing i think newsmax offered well his show is only was only what six years but he was he was like on the circuit beforehand he was doing mainstream television appearances for a long time i wonder and you can probably speak to this better than i can tim but transitioning to being fully independent with in-house production, as opposed to having a company to fall back on, like there is, that isn't just something you do
Starting point is 00:23:32 overnight. Not everyone is cut out to make that change. And I wonder if there is a comfort in sort of staying with a medium that you know. I mean, I would imagine being under contract is a lot more comfortable than just doing your own thing. I mean, but you saw how, I mean, I would imagine being under contract is a lot more comfortable than just doing your own thing. But you saw how his video on Twitter, when he released a statement, the amount of views that that racked up. I mean, I'm pretty sure he broke his viewership live compared to what he normally has done on Fox. 20 times the viewership. I mean, that would be cool to see as an integration into Twitter or something along those lines. The Twitter video is different from his show. Because I was saying this before, his show
Starting point is 00:24:08 gets 3.3 million on average, but not everybody watches every single episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight. So if you watch three episodes per month, if the average person only watches, let's say they watch five episodes, that means there's actually four times as many unique viewers because
Starting point is 00:24:23 they're only watching one in five episodes and he's got, know he's one in four episodes because he doesn't you know once uh once a day every every week and that means that if you were to take all of his viewers and have them watch one video you'd get 60 million you get 70 million or whatever so i don't know if it correlates properly and also the people who watch that video included leftists who've never seen his show before exactly well and also if i mean say like he would take like the twitter route or anything like that is the boomers no boomers are going to see it i mean i feel like that's the majority of people that actually watched his show too is the older generations and it's going to basically completely cut off their access i mean i'm pretty sure fox news lost like what half of
Starting point is 00:25:00 their viewers uh just from after they fired him so you're already seeing the kind of shift in their audience. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's part of what's so sad about the whole situation. Everyone keeps talking about how Duggar's going to be better off without Fox, and they're probably right in terms of how much he's going to have. But he was very important at Fox. But yeah, he was very important at Fox, and there are a lot of people who just are not going to know where to find him,
Starting point is 00:25:21 unfortunately, or won't discover him in the first place. He's the only populist they had. So, I mean, maybe this is more about 2024 than anything. Well, that's what I was thinking is what if because I thought I saw I had seen something about Rupert Murdoch, you know, negotiating a new contract with him and him still actually being under that contract. I'm not sure how accurate that is. But I mean, in doing so, he's basically gagged. I mean, he can't sign any other contract from what I'm aware of. It's like if you shut Tucker Carlson down during election season, that's when he's the most effective.
Starting point is 00:25:49 In my mind, if I'm the enemy and I'm trying to silence and de-platform Tucker Carlson, I mean, you guys saw the AOC video. De-platforming works. You know, you do it right before election season when he has the most power and the most momentum and he can actually make a change. And the primaries are coming up. And who is Tucker supporting? I'm not even entirely sure. Yeah. Good question. it's gonna be a republican so that's all right i would
Starting point is 00:26:10 imagine he's gonna support whoever the i mean the lead runner is i think because i mean you got probably desantis v trump i would assume he's probably going to support trump just because he has i think a higher chance of winning and becoming the nominee but i mean regardless of whoever the nominee is he's obviously going to support the Republican candidate. Yeah, no question. Who is supposed to fill his slot? Like, what's happening with the 8 o'clock? Oh, they picked somebody, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Well, yeah, everyone was ripping on him. Yeah, he posted a 20 and got ratioed to, like, absolutely. It must be so significant that I'm definitely aware of it. That was the hardest thing about watching all this. Like, what is Fox's plan? There is no one. Lawrence Jones? I don't even know who that is. Didn't they get rid of Bongino too?
Starting point is 00:26:49 Bongino left a couple weeks before. They couldn't negotiate a contract. I loved that the day when Tucker was released and Don Lamon was released at the same time too, nobody was talking about the CNN contractor about Don Lemon. It was just all Tucker Carlson. about don lemon it was just all tucker carlson
Starting point is 00:27:05 and we'll in in everyone was speculating about tucker carlson why would they be getting rid of him what story did he cover that upset them where is he going he's so important and with don lemon no one was like yeah don lemon did all that really important journalistic work that exposed powerful people like yeah no he didn't. Ever since that misogynistic clip from Don Lemon, which wasn't misogynistic at all. What did he say? I think he made a light-hearted joke. He said women are not in their prime
Starting point is 00:27:33 in their 50s or 80s. He did get in trouble for that. I remember he got in trouble for that, and then that was the last controversy he had. That is just unacceptable. He said something like, if you look online it's like 20 30s or 40s women in their 50s are not in their prime when he's talking about men in their prime too and the difference in age but she was like what is the other one was like what does that
Starting point is 00:27:53 mean like child birthing like is that what you're talking about and he's like i'm just saying google it and then when you googled it it was the funniest thing it's like women are in their prime in their 40s and 50s and it's's like, that's hilarious. Snopes found out. Right. Like fact check. False. Yeah. Pants on fire.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Human beings are in their prime in their 20s. Like anybody else pandering is early 30s. Especially males too. Yeah. There's a lot of push for women saying like,
Starting point is 00:28:17 oh, you're in your prime in your 40s because you're more confident and stuff like that. Like I would argue that like depends on what we're evaluating here. Right. Like a woman in her 40s is not in her prime to bear children i was gonna say i don't think you're
Starting point is 00:28:28 in your prime if you're going through menopause you're in your prime like you're feeling good about yourself and you're more accomplished and maybe you're more economically established like i could see that argument it just depends on what your your metrics are that's what i don't like about these generalizations maybe maybe that was the argument they're making is that when women can no longer have kids they're now in their prime to work and be ceos exactly but for real because human beings are utilities right and depending on which part of the culture you're standing uh on and looking at them from they're either a sexual utility or an economic utility but they're not a person well yeah we're gonna have those baby pods you saw those baby pods right baby pod little baby factories yeah the factories. The viral video where it's like,
Starting point is 00:29:05 we will gestate humans in pods. I thought that was like the new politically correct term for birthing person. Baby factories. Baby factory. No, no, no. It's not woman. It's offensive.
Starting point is 00:29:16 It's baby factory. It's not woman. It's birthing person. It's like birthing. It's like the new term for young mothers' homes, you know, where they used to like send girls who got pregnant. Instead, it's just like birthing factories young mothers homes you know where they used to like send girls who got pregnant instead it's just like
Starting point is 00:29:25 birthing factories come collect your baby here what's the game that just came out like Dark Souls or something came out that everybody was excited Elden Ring
Starting point is 00:29:33 Elden Ring yeah which is basically Dark Souls and when you're making your character you can't choose male or female you can choose type 1
Starting point is 00:29:38 or type 2 like it's diabetes it was something it was like A or B or something it was like it was like body type choose your body type and it's like clearly male and female but it didn't say male and female and it's just like what what is well and it's funny because in those games
Starting point is 00:29:52 usually you can make like really distorted looking characters like like skyrim and those kind of like just that genre of games usually you can just make the characters however you want but it seems like they're moving away from that and that was like the biggest part of those games was like creating a sweet like woman that was an orc but looked like a man and now you just can't do any of it well the harry potter game is actually really funny because you can you can customize your character to a crazy degree like you can make a big super masculine guy but has a voice of a little girl or you can make it's almost like bob's burgers or uh venture brothers you can make like a small female character who talks like this and then it's and then you could make a male
Starting point is 00:30:31 character who's in the girl's dorm or a female character in the boy's dorm it's just i remember they had like but the game but they're like character in the game or something they're saying it's transphobic but that doesn't even make sense that in harry potter there'd be a trans character they can eat drink magic potions and shape shift yeah they would just be like i drink a potion whoop now i am it's magic there you go so there's got'd be a trans character. They can drink magic potions and shapeshift. They would just be like, I drink a potion. Whoop, now I am. It's magic. There you go. There's got to be a spell for everything, right?
Starting point is 00:30:49 The puberty blocker potion. But they don't need it. They have magic. Puberty blockoso. And you're good. You can literally turn yourself into a cat. Infertilitis. There's no infertilitis.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Ruin your life-ist. I'm the compassionate one. Cast that Bud Light spell. Get that extra estrogen. There would be no furries in Harryry potter because they would just literally turn into animals they're just so hold on all the people in harry potter who turn into animals furries that is a hot take over there i think it's true i mean that was that was the whole theme of the third book that the one dude was a werewolf so the other three friends would turn
Starting point is 00:31:22 into animals to hang out with them or whatever because like werewolf wouldn't attack animal people or something like that yeah i wasn't uh i wasn't allowed to read harry potter because if someone raised in a traditional home my parents didn't want me to be a nerd i'm sad for you missed a huge part of culture gigantic nerd you missed out yeah did i now how do you how do you interpret the leftist arguments in philosophy if you don't know anything about harry potter i haven't read the philosophy if you don't know anything about Harry Potter? I haven't read the foundational theory. I don't read theory. Trump is Voldemort.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Don't you know what that means? That's actually true. But actually, you can't connect with any of the young people, basically, any of your peers. How can you make them interested in Catholicism if you can't put it in terms of Harry Potter? Here's the secret, Hannah Clare. They can't connect with each other either
Starting point is 00:32:04 because of what this culture's done. Yeah, but you're not reaching them either so yes i am adrift uh-huh look i'm not reaching them with witchcraft and magic so what's your plan to use the power of reason and facts and logic and cartoons and make yes absolutely well-placed joke here and there that's how you do it did you ever feel like you missed out though because you couldn't read harry potter no i'm kidding i was not not well my parents like frowned upon it but they were never like ah harry potter it's not as bad as like not having watched fast and the furious you know what i mean no oh of course every christmas we watched all of those you watched all of them you are lying i declare this a lie no no it's true classic tradition we watch fast and and Furious every day.
Starting point is 00:32:45 And you got 10 movies. So you're all day. It's on the TV and the people are making dip and the family's coming in and they're wearing the fancy sweaters. Yeah, you watch Fast and Furious. And then everyone quotes the movie
Starting point is 00:32:56 because they all know the words to every film. I thought that was Die Hard. I actually didn't watch Fast and Furious as a kid either. You know when I saw Fast and Furious for the first time? I was on a Greyhound bus and there was this woman a few seats across from me and she turns to me she's like you want to watch fast and furious i was like
Starting point is 00:33:13 how much that sounds like such a greyhound no it's true and then she she sat next to me with her laptop and she popped it open and i was like she's like these movies are they say they're about cars it's really about family and she started playing she started playing it. I don't believe you. Dude, I'm not kidding. This actually happened. And I was watching. I was like, this film is about family. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:33:31 No, this actually happened. 50% of the time. But this actually happened. This is a real story. This is not a deep fake. This literally happened. I watched Fast and Furious on a grayout for the first time. Some real thing.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Some fake stuff sprinkled in. This very sweet young woman wanted someone to watch Fast and Furious with. I feel like it's nice because you're community building, right? Yes. Let's jump to this story from the Post Millennial. We got big news, ladies and gentlemen. Late night shows go dark as Writers Guild calls strike. Well, I'm really excited for this because our viewership should go up.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Because clearly the people who watch that show would love to watch this show. They're going to watch Freedom Tunes now. i was around someone this weekend who was like oh timcast that's on eight well now that i'm not watching tucker i'll watch timcast yes yes but we're talking about jimmy kimmel and colbert what were jimmy kimmel's writers doing a huge wave for this they're sitting in the back room and they're doing that thing that the vice gag covering their eyes and then grabbing her yeah do you remember yeah Yeah, dude, I mean, I gotta say, when I saw Stephen Colbert do a song about vaccines and make fun of people who don't like the jab,
Starting point is 00:34:30 I was like, he went there. He really went there. He wasn't making fun of people who didn't like it. He did it more than once. It was just the vax scene, and it wasn't one thing. Conservatives don't watch the show, and they thought Colbert did this one-time thing where everyone dressed up like syringes and danced. He did it every
Starting point is 00:34:46 night. No, that's what I'm making fun of. I'm saying he's super lame. I'm saying it wasn't one time. People think it was this one thing. They show this one meme over and over again. I'm like, dude, he did that every night. Every night he had the vax scene where he was telling people to get a medical treatment. It's the weirdest thing. Could you imagine
Starting point is 00:35:02 if all of a sudden every single late night host was like, have you tried Flavestro? And you're like, it's the weirdest thing. Could you imagine if all of a sudden every single late at host was like, have you tried Flabestro? And you're like, why are you telling me to take a drug? And it's like, because we've all decided this pharmaceutical, just go to your doctor. The Flabestro boys. Don't go to Stephen Colbert to figure out whether or not you need medicine. Why is it that Joe Rogan gets ragged on, but Colbert gets a free pass?
Starting point is 00:35:20 Well, CNN edited Joe Rogan to look like the Incredible Hulk. They put a green filter over him It turns you green The horse paste makes you That was weird wasn't it We showed the videos and we were like Oh they were completely different The man looked like a smurf in all of the pictures
Starting point is 00:35:35 And they're like we didn't edit this He looked like a normal man in the other ones Maybe a little second in this he's blue He's blue Now listen up It was on that level That top one that top left other ones maybe a little second in this he's blue he's blue now this is up to this it was literally it was on that level right strike that that top one that top left look at that it's so different he looks like uh one of those people who pretends to be a statue in cities this is what it looked like on cnn this way it looked like on his actual instagram does this mean that
Starting point is 00:36:00 trump is not as orange as people think he is? He's not. Are you kidding? What? The media absolutely was boosting saturation on Trump's pictures to make him look more orange. That's a fact. Yeah, you thought that was... I honestly never thought about it. It didn't really matter to me either way. Yeah, maybe I could pull that up too. Wait, you're telling me Trump is not really orange?
Starting point is 00:36:22 Well, I mean, actually trump when you go to his rallies like if you've ever been to a rally he does not look nearly as orange as he does in all the pictures and videos well this is disappointed i'm actually i like him really into self-tan i just like look at this look at here here you go tv station editor sacked for making trump appear more orange no no no he's not really that orange that does make me sad that actually really makes me sad it was endearing i like that about his tongue that tongue thing they definitely made his neck looks wider did they make his mouth wider his lips are bulging
Starting point is 00:36:59 he's known for like having like the super dude but think about this they actually did this on a tv show and so there are regular people who are watching who don't know and they think that is trump that's what they were doing but there was uh uh there was a whole bunch of pictures let me let me just google search it we don't there were a whole bunch of pictures where they did this that one made it look like he was wearing foundation he's got the fake the fake tan for sure but this is what the media would do they would boost saturation to make it look like he's more orange than he really is they would do it all the time they do it to tim too they make me look less orange they're like we can't let people know this actually was it uh isabel isabella riley she was like i love being orange i always wondered if that was
Starting point is 00:37:44 like an ode to trump thing yeah it's like an ode to Trump. That's her whole thing. Yeah, it's like an ode to Trump. But now we know. We can tell her. He's fake orange. You're actually more orange than Trump, Isabella. I'm going to send her this clip afterwards and be like, well, you got to stop with the orange. It has happened more than once where there was something with the lighting or the camera where I was the only one on set who looked blue.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And I have definitely gotten roasted by the super chats for being blue. And so Tim basically did the same thing that CNN did to Joe Rogan to me. Well, but we want that to do that to Shane. Like we want- No, I know. So did CNN. We can't have Seamus looking handsome.
Starting point is 00:38:16 You know what I mean? You need to have like a base filter to actively edit me out of being handsome. Yeah, we have a filter on Seamus' face all the time that makes him look the way he does. Otherwise- I'm actually normally really attractive, but I only look like this
Starting point is 00:38:28 on camera. That's actually the most time that they spend producing this is manipulating his face so he's not so handsome. Exactly. That and writing our scripts. That's what we spend
Starting point is 00:38:36 all our time doing. Well, no, we don't write the scripts. We read the scripts. You guys don't write the scripts. The scripts are handed down from very important people
Starting point is 00:38:44 that aren't supposed to be named. Don't ask any more questions about it. Man, that's crazy what they did to Joe Rogan on CNN. I know. It's not that crazy because we know how they are, but it is a little nuts. They tried making him look sickly like he had some kind of melanoma or something. It looks like The Walking Dead.
Starting point is 00:39:03 He actually is a corpse. Didn't they try to claim they didn't? kind of what melanoma it looks it looks like the walking dead he actually looks like a zombie of course and they tried when you first try to claim they didn't yeah they said they didn't like no he just looks like that and then people started coming out saying like no no it's just different monitor settings and i'm like dude i screenshotted the video on the same monitor and it looked different like cnn did some weird stuff cnn is the most honest news source in America. I like seems so petty It seems like if you were like talking to middle school girls and she's like I'm purposely gonna face-tune this girl So she looks worse than I do but it's like this is the exact same thing that they do with like these big articles and these big news sources when they
Starting point is 00:39:38 Do hit pieces is everyone sees the original piece and their viewers obviously aren't the highest IQ people. So they're like, oh look at him He's taking original piece and their viewers obviously aren't the highest IQ people. So they're like, oh, look at him. He's taking horse dewormer. He looks like crap. But then they never see Joe Rogan statement after because he releases a statement and they don't broadcast the statement. So it's like in their mind, that's just what he looks like. Yeah. I guess the good news is, though, they're for the time being, we get some reprieve from
Starting point is 00:39:59 the late night corporate press garbage. And I just love the fact that even Bill Maher is off the air. This is a writer's strike. Yeah. So what about the political opinions of John Oliver and Bill Maher? Are we not capable of hearing because they don't have writers? That just shows. That is interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:14 It's everything I've been saying. Bill Maher does not read the news. Isn't it kind of funny? Like, well, you know, all the most prominent left-wing thinkers are going to be off the air for a little while. Why? We ran out of clowns. The jokers decided to stop writing. The people who write their words for them
Starting point is 00:40:30 are striking, so now they have nothing to say. It's almost like they don't believe in what they say. This is the thing. They don't make anything funny. No, it's not funny. And I'm not saying none of them can be funny either. Colbert used to be funny. He really did. He's just not applying himself. I remember watching Colbert when I was a kid and he was funny.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Like I actually enjoyed tuning in. My parents would tune in and we would laugh. But now it's just. Yeah, I've heard people say that this like format is pretty stale. People don't like it anymore. They're all sitting behind desks. They all do this opening monologue. It's all kind of the same thing.
Starting point is 00:40:58 So it makes me wonder that like with this writer's rec, will they ever be able to recover any kind of viewership? Hopefully. I don't know what their numbers are like right now but then also what fills the vacuum like what takes the place all they do all they do is ever since john stewart is they whittled it down to saying something like donald trump today came out and did a backflip that's kind of like a fat dog on christmas and then it like named timothy and then it shows like a dog and then everyone laughs it's like saturday night live has just devolved to.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Do you want to judge? That's like if a squirrel was riding a jet ski. Little Timothy over here! Cue the laugh track. And then he goes, look at that squirrel, he really loves it! And then he keeps leaning into the Photoshop. There's a meme that breaks down John Oliver's whole show, and it was like the whole thing is a single formula
Starting point is 00:41:45 it's an ad lib where they would take the same script and pull out proper nouns and then put in different proper nouns and like doesn't miss a beat wow
Starting point is 00:41:52 and to the point where he said it's little Timothy like a whole bunch of times little Timothy over here like referencing a child and then saying it's 2016 people like it's current year
Starting point is 00:42:02 why is this happening but it was it's all the same thing and they mentioned that he'll pause the audience will laugh and that was like reinforcing you must believe this this is what everyone agrees with laugh with this well psychologically that's that's a whole reason laugh tracks were created like have you ever watched like i don't think the big bang theory is funny but a lot of people love it super big bang theory they have clips without the laugh tracks you're just watching you're like none of this is disturbing funny at all but the laugh track cues that psychological aspect and you're oh yeah it's funny and initially they did have
Starting point is 00:42:34 live studio audiences and i'm not sure if it was this way from the get-go but eventually even with those audiences they started telling them you have to laugh right now you're supposed to laugh at the joke hold up they have jeb bush they're going please clap you know they were telling people you have to find this funny how do they get people for the audience i wonder you know i know i know they have to hire them too maybe that's what really happened the audience went on strike like i can't watch i'm not watching another vaccine you're making my ears bleed i mean if you walk around new york they'll come to you like hey you want to watch a free comedy show and you don't know what it is. And then you walk in like, it's cold. It's cold there.
Starting point is 00:43:06 They got me. I'm stuck. Well, I leave. You know, I think they lock the doors. There's this weird thing that happens where conservatives worship any liberal who isn't as crazy as the rest of the liberals. So I want to make it very clear. I'm not engaging in that when I say anything remotely positive about Jon Stewart. I think he's caused many serious issues not a huge fan however i will say that he was funny compared to these guys he
Starting point is 00:43:31 really was i just figured it out what why don't we just get like 500 moderate to conservative types to go to the jimmy kimmel audience and. It's him. Because he's going to be like, so we got this crazy video about Donald Trump and then it's Trump being like, we should load taxes. Oh yeah. And then we start cheering. No, that's when you cheer.
Starting point is 00:43:52 And then when he's like, but Trump, of course, is a criminal. Boo. Wait, what? You're booing me? It's his applause. What would they do? Would they cancel the show
Starting point is 00:43:59 and kick everybody out? I've got a really good idea. We'll replace these late night shows. We'll do a late night show with me. The live studio audience will be the chickens from chicken city and they'll balk and cluck and make all their various chicken noises and that's how the audience will know it's funny to touch on what you said earlier about conservatives like almost worshiping or like
Starting point is 00:44:16 looking up to the people that are more lefty that weren't as crazy they have this problem with you know celebrities athletes we have this problem all throughout the industry is like when one person that literally hates you and everything you stand for, they say one thing that you kind of agree with. You put them on a pedestal for like a week straight and it's just like trending Twitter clip after trending Twitter clip. It's like they literally hate you. Yeah. That's how I felt about when Shia LaBeouf was doing that movie.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I don't remember. Yeah. Say God is Lord. No, I thought that was based he became catholic okay but like did he actually i'm not i'm not gonna sit here and tell you whether he was sincere or not that's up that's not up to me but it was like all the rage for a minute to be like we're so happy he's one of us he's one of us never mind anything else that's going on or if he sticks with it oh he can't repent i'm sure he could, but did he? I hope so.
Starting point is 00:45:08 I mean, Joe Biden says he's Catholic too, right? Yeah, but here's the thing. Joe Biden explicitly does things in public that tell us otherwise. And he openly defies church teaching. Joe Biden has literally said children should transition. Get over, because I think he was addicted to something for quite a while. And then he came through that. He's had like all kinds of crazy issues. Yeah, like a bunch of problems. And then he went through that. He's had like all kinds of crazy issues. Yeah, like a bunch of problems
Starting point is 00:45:26 and then he went to rehab and actually like put his life on a better track and then that Catholic thing happened from what I'm aware of. Yeah, Joe Biden said he was Catholic and his life just went on a way worse track. I'm Catholic. His whole life. Abort your babies, please. Yeah, exactly. I'm Catholic, but I don't believe in the Catholic Church.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Wait a minute. How does that work? That's called not being Catholic. Let's jump to a very serious news story. We got this one from timcast.com Biden administration sending 1500 troops to southern border. US officials are expecting a surge of more than 35,000 migrants flooding through El Paso after title 42 ends. I guess my question for these so called writers at timast.com is, are these illegal immigrants they're expecting or just general migrants? Because if it's like people lining up at the border being like, hello, I'd like to fill out forms to peacefully enter this country.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I don't know if we need 1,500 troops. This is the most like actual action that you've seen the Biden administration take with, you know, securing the border as well. So it's interesting that they decided to do it now, right before election season. I feel like that might have something to do with it. Well, didn't Corinne Jean-Pierre just get roasted for saying it's 90% down? Border crossings are down 90%. It's like all the journalists on the border.
Starting point is 00:46:35 It's because they're all already here. Yeah, that's right. But is it what they're saying? They're going to be sending people back? Is that why they need the troops? I think it was just, I think they stopped Venezuelans, if I remember correctly. It was Venezuela, a different country for a minute. And there was like a big blockade.
Starting point is 00:46:49 And I think it was in the same area as well outside of El Paso, where you just had like Venezuelans piking tents. And there was thousands of them. And then finally, they just allowed them to come in from one aware of. You want to know what was hilarious? Lori Lightfoot started complaining to Greg Abbott about all of the immigrants that have been sent up to Chicago. That's the least of your worries.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Then she bussed them into the conservative suburbs overnight. She did do that a while back. Yes, she did. She sent them out to the different conservative suburban areas. But I love how as soon as their ideology comes into contact with reality, they recognize, okay, I have to either completely abandon my principles or the thing I'm in charge of is going to fail. Yeah. I mean, we've known for a while that with the end of Title 42, you would get different migrant caravans coming up. And again, I have no reason to assume everyone is going to attempt to cross illegally, but
Starting point is 00:47:40 just the numbers bear out that many people will attempt to cross illegally into the country. And without Title 42, it becomes much more difficult to expel illegal immigrants. We've already had a crisis at the southern border for so long. And the Biden administration has done nothing to really address this. I mean, there have been efforts to get Mayorkas removed from office. You know, really, remember, Kamala Harris is the border czar. She's doing a great job. So I think the challenge is like as we go through the era, we wanted COVID regulations to end.
Starting point is 00:48:11 And that was how we got Title 42. But if Title 42 is coming to an end or if COVID regulations are coming to an end, so does Title 42. So how do we address the border? Yeah, well, there was an interesting question asked earlier. Are these people coming legally or not? Why is the military there? I don't think we're at any risk of not admitting enough people into the United States at this point. I think we've had quite a bit of immigration that was completely undocumented, totally illegal. The government had no oversight over it.
Starting point is 00:48:41 So this is the least they can do. Yeah, I mean, it's not just the southern border. It's also all of the Haitian and Cuban immigrants coming in through Florida. Like their illegal immigration is also up along Canada. And that's people flying from other countries to Canada to enter the U.S. I mean, this is an issue that we just, for whatever reason, cannot man up and solve. Well, it's getting to the point point too, like whenever I do border reporting or some of my fellow journalists are down there,
Starting point is 00:49:08 you're not encountering people from Mexico anymore. You're not encountering people from those areas. You're encountering Cubans. Now it's Chinese nationals that are coming over and in droves. So we've gotten to the point of where all the Mexicans have already came over, right? Mexico isn't really even an immigration point anymore. Yeah, they come up through it,
Starting point is 00:49:24 but it's Venezuelans, it's Cubans. And every single like few months, I'll go down to the border whenever I have the chance. Different kinds of migrants every single time. It's just evolving and more and more people are coming over. And so there's no need for certain individuals to come over because they're already here. I mean, do you remember that story about there's photos ofitian migrants who were collected under a bridge and that was crazy yeah it was the famous photograph of you know the border patrol agent on uh whipping them and mayorkas condemned them and it turned out that was completely a lie and he has never done
Starting point is 00:49:55 the media it wasn't even and then after that the media ran with it for like two months and then you had the pictures being spread by all the left wing, you know, publicists of them whipping them. And it's like, that's literally the most humane way to control them. So they don't die in that river while they're crossing. Right. And all, I bet if you asked anyone on the street, if they remembered this incident, they would all think it was someone from Mexico crossing into the U S and that's just not it. Like people don't understand the border crisis because we've let it get out of control. And instead of treating it like the national security and humanitarian issue that it is, right?
Starting point is 00:50:29 We just say, if you don't want people here, you must be bigoted and racist and bad. Well, and after that report went viral too, all of a sudden, all of the migrants were gone. Like the next two days, they all of a sudden were gone. Where do you think they went? They brought them into our country. Well, fundamentally, right?
Starting point is 00:50:43 There's two basic positions on this, one of which is completely new and would be foreign to the thought of any pragmatic or remotely reasonable political thinker for all of history who wasn't trying to destroy a country. In the first stream of thought, the first principle or whatever we want to call it, desire is, I think that the government should have some oversight over who enters this country and some control over who is crossing over the border. Because if we don't have that,
Starting point is 00:51:13 there's literally no purpose to having a border in the first place. The second stream of thought is that's mean. And that's it. There's no counterpoint to it. There's no counterpoint to it. It's if you think the government should literally do anything have any kind of immigration oversight at all it's because you're racist then you look at all the great nations that actually have low crime rates
Starting point is 00:51:35 and are actually succeeding with their economies they all have strong borders it's almost like there's a correlation between a real nation and a faux nation weird the thing you're not considering chamis is that you know but what if. Weird. The thing you're not considering, Seamus, is that, you know, but what if you're mean? The thing that you're not considering is here's the cartoon of you farting
Starting point is 00:51:52 with stink lines. How long have you had that ready to go? What did you just do? How did you... Look at that. That's you. That's literally what you look like, bro. Did you consider that?
Starting point is 00:52:02 You made me look very thin. That's, well, you know... Thank you, Seamus. You're welcome. That's the nicest thing you've ever had done. Did you consider that? You made me look very thin. Thank you, Seamus. You're welcome. That's the nicest thing you've ever had done. If you consider that a flattering caricature. Yeah. Should we send this to somebody?
Starting point is 00:52:13 I sent it to you. You're going to give away original art from Seamus? You're going to raffle it off? Yeah, we're going to. You've got to frame it and put it behind you now. We send out random knickknacks from the show to our members. Based? Yeah yes you have to sign it and then we can send it out i'll leave i'll leave a pack of john hancock on that to a
Starting point is 00:52:30 lucky guy be funny that's a really big jug of water next to me that's what that's the size of it that's why you're so gassy is it is water water we were what are you talking about we were supposed to be talking about the merits of being mean to migrants but you had to go and change the subject you disagreed with me you tried debating me you suggested I was mean and so to prove you wrong I showed you a picture I drew of you farting with stink lines that's the kindest thing he's ever done
Starting point is 00:52:57 wow very important news we discuss here as we were saying no I guess you are just me those are those are literally the two options are we happy with joe biden oh yeah absolutely no i mean let me hold on let me show you this picture of him i do this other one i mean like this action he's taking right now sending troops down to the border should we be like that's a good thing
Starting point is 00:53:18 please do it more i think it's a start yeah but that's it it's just a start it's something that should have happened right as he got in office. He shouldn't have repealed any of the immigration plans that Trump had because they were working. And now that he's doing that, he's got to backpedal because even normal Americans are startingGA terrorists, though, because we don't like you guys, but general conservatives and progressives, we know you want to secure borders, so this is our way of giving it to you. I think it's just to buy election points. Do you remember his first State of the Union address where he just started appropriating Trump's talking points? He did.
Starting point is 00:53:57 He said that we need to secure the border. I mean, when your agenda involves this— He said, capitalism is good, man. Defend the police. Don't defund them. He did. He did say that. He literally said those words, except he was less articulate than that and more slurry.
Starting point is 00:54:12 That's my favorite narrative. Have you seen videos of him speaking in Congress, clips of him on any kind of committee over his very long career? When he was capable? It's crazy. I just hope that's what we hear. It sounds like this. Look, if we're going to have a new policy here, you got to listen up. We got to have better taxes.
Starting point is 00:54:26 We got to have lower taxes in this country. And now he's like- And the slurring and like getting lost. It's rough. I think the problem with this action, I won't say problem. I think it's good. The border needs more support,
Starting point is 00:54:39 especially all the agents there. It's just that they created a problem because they tried to walk back all of trump's immigration like any kind of thing that could help stop this crisis because again remember people migrating here go through terrible things like it is not the worst it is not an acceptable thing to put anyone through it's not good for america it's not good through the women and children and men who go through it so why we would support it i, I don't understand. I think it's okay.
Starting point is 00:55:07 But like you're saying, it feels like cheap points before the election. And, you know, if he gets enough pushback, I'm sure they'll pull the troops back. Well, and the thing is, is- I think they are not really committed to solving this problem. No, they never will be. Well, and with the troops too, is like, we saw this down at like Eagle Pass and other points that are really hot right now, is whenever go down there if you do have national guard troops you do have any of these troops they quite literally all their job is to do is to facilitate the migrants crossing so they're just
Starting point is 00:55:33 helping them cross they're not stopping them they have absolutely no power they're still under akin to border patrol and and when i was down there last time at eagle pass they were quite literally intentionally pulling their humvees up in front of these migrants so I couldn't do my job and take videos of the processing. So it's like, where is this going to go? It's going to go absolutely nowhere. They have no authority to engage with cartels. I've heard horror stories of them watching literally people shoot children across just
Starting point is 00:55:59 across the river. They can't do anything. The child crawls over and then they give the kid aid or, you know, they're dumping people into vats of acid, these cartels and facilitating all these migrant caravans that are coming over. But the National Guard can't do anything. So what are they there for? It's worthless. I mean, think, was it DeSantis who said, like, he instituted the policy of like, if you arrive on a boat, we will turn you away. You can't. And it's to deter people from taking an extremely dangerous journey to try and illegally enter the country. It's sad because then it forces as well.
Starting point is 00:56:28 There's a downside for them to be facilitated through the cartels. And that's when the worst possible things actually happen to them. That's when you get the rape trees. That's when you get the murders. That's when you get the torture is when these cartels are put in charge. They're multibillion dollar industries that are, I would argue, more powerful than a lot of world governments. And you're giving them more power. Exactly. I think about when I was going to college and I went to school in Texas, they were talking about someone who volunteered with, I can't remember the name of the organization, but they basically were like, oh, we go to the border,
Starting point is 00:56:56 we hand out water bottles and we try to help people. Probably one of those Catholic organizations that facilitate everything. I'm not going to run into the catholic conversation you better not but i will shyla buff was there oh yes the truth do it why why can't why can't he be sincere i hope he is but you know let's see i haven't heard about it since the thing is like any of these organizations you are actually encouraging people to risk their lives to do something dangerous and illegal that we know ultimately harms everyone involved i think this is the craziest thing that we hear out of the left that we should not build a border wall because it's what no human is illegal like i just don't understand why would you want to put people into the positions that they are in or they're criminals they're criminal immigrants
Starting point is 00:57:38 exactly i don't i don't like they are breaking the law when they come to our country no i don't like the phrase illegal immigrant no humanism i'm I'm like, what does it even mean? Illegal immigrant? Like the person's illegal? No, no, they're criminal immigrants. Yeah, I mean, that term would make more sense. But now, I mean, whether criminal immigrants or anything, they're committing crimes when crossing into the country.
Starting point is 00:57:56 But there is no such thing as a legal process or an illegal process anymore. You can be a gotaway. You can come and get your papers for the Border Patrol, and then they'll just release you. So anyone can come through. I mean, terrorists, quite literally, anybody can enter our country and we're not doing it. I've known people who grew up in Eastern Europe who are advised, you know, it's actually it's actually more likely that if you enter illegally through the southern border, you are you are more likely to be able to stay in America than if you go through the application process. That's how Luke got here. Probably. No, I just feel like that's the most sickening thing.'s it's similar and i this is a broad comparison
Starting point is 00:58:29 to draw but uh the conversations we have about gun ownership right like if you ban guns only law-abiding people suffer people who do not care about your laws don't care about your laws they're not going to uh register their guns or give you the guns or do anything you ask them to do it's only the people who believe in law and order and want to positively, you know, constructively follow the law. I thought it was funny the last time I was down at the border because I went into Mexico and coming back in, I had the idea. I was like, I wonder if I drop my ID or give my ID to one of these other reporters I'm
Starting point is 00:58:59 with and cross the Rio Grande because I've done it before and get processed as an illegal immigrant, act like I don't speak English, what would the process look like? I was going to. I probably have the plan to. It's a felony. But that was the only downside to it. Don't do it. I'm just kidding. You're going to charge me? And then I came through the legal way,
Starting point is 00:59:16 and then I got detained for over six hours because I was on this terrorist watch list for my reporting on January 6th. And then they treated me worse than the actual illegal immigrants that are coming through. I'm like, I'm an American citizen. And you have people walking across the river and then being released into America in less time than I am. That's the Gulag Archipelago saying that for criminals, it's just their nature. What can you do?
Starting point is 00:59:40 But for you, you knew better. You're a bad man. That's exactly it. We have to go after the people whenever someone commits a crime it's because of their socioeconomic environment the way that they were raised they would not have ever done anything wrong they're just stealing bread exactly and then when you do something wrong it's just because you're evil and bad and you're despicable disgusting enemy of the state well we got speaking of doing things bad uh in a very childish move tim tried to edit my drawing of him it's not nearly as good he put me in the back he put me in the background sniffing the fart i found i think it's really immature and he's saying
Starting point is 01:00:12 farts yeah which i have which i do will say uh if if i smell a good one sometimes i feel like i'm in a fifth grade but i never smell a good one bazinga oh yeah that's right this is i can we just appreciate that my art's been ruined ruined it's been vastly it's been ruined i wonder if that you can even say are you able to see that can you launch a poll did this did this ruin or shameless is just standing there going farts you just i would say it's like you destroyed something picasso made but picasso didn't really make all that much that was good. Remember that story about Salvador Dali? He bought dinner at a restaurant, and then he drew a doodle and a napkin, signed it, and paid for his meal with that.
Starting point is 01:00:50 And they were like- I thought there was a story of him, someone coming up to him being like, draw me something. And he does. And he's like, OK, pay me $1,000. She's like, what? But I thought you were just doing it for free. And he's like, no, this is my craft. It's taken me a long time.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Oh, yeah. They said, you did that in 10 seconds. And he said, no, it took me years to learn how to do it. It's like, then why did you do it so badly, Picasso? He was very talented. He was really good at it. And he started doing this abstract garbage. Yeah, like his original paintings were really good.
Starting point is 01:01:15 And then he just started making trash. And everyone went, that's so good because he's portraying the world other than it actually is. And I don't want to see the world as it is because that makes it more difficult for me to live a vicious life. I feel like you sound like his disappointed parents we sent you to art school for this you had so much promise first of all if he went to art school his parents were already disappointed are you speaking i can make an art school joke right now but i won't all right let's let's let's jump to the story we got a we got a story from the post-millennial antifa member sentenced to 60 months probation for may 2021 port riot. That's it? Arson?
Starting point is 01:01:45 Hold on, hold on. Can you go up? He was charged with arson? Yeah, he was. Jared Bailey Huber pleaded guilty to one count of arson in the second degree, one count of criminal mischief in the first degree, and one count of riot, and he got 60 months probation. Somebody check on every single January 6th
Starting point is 01:02:01 defendant right now. They're not locking him up. They're like, all right, we'll just call this.'s just a warning you just set buildings on fire he was just expressing himself exactly he's he's a creative kid it's free speech it was self-defense you know what's you guys know like that famous graphic that goes around of all like what antifa looks like right and like the and it's just like the ugliest of them all it's funny because that night that graphic i'm the one person that was left out of that graphic because that night i was arrested with them because i was in black block recording on the ground spent a whole night in jail with them but then i never have seen me on the graphic oh wow yeah and i was like but all the people that were on the graphic i was sitting in jail with alongside all
Starting point is 01:02:43 night talking i was on the graphic because they edited me to look less handsome i was gonna say are you guys just telling us you're handsome i don't understand i mean but hold on hold on here's the inverse we have a story from the daily mail new york city mother of three who slammed into blm protesters if they terrorized her finally accepts plea deal she will she was sentenced to five hours of community service instead of six days which was offered but she was facing seven. So this is a video where they surround her vehicle. She's with her 29 year old daughter. They're screaming, banging, and then she hits the gas, just boom. And these people go flying. She already did her community service. Nobody got any serious, serious injuries, but she hasn't done it yet. She has to do five hours.
Starting point is 01:03:20 And then if she does, she will be able to, uh, that's it. She's out. So the issue here is it's kind of good news. The better news would have been that she was not convicted at all because she was attacked and she was panicking. Trying to hurt her kids. But she said that she accidentally hit the gas in a panic and that she didn't mean to hurt anybody. And that's why they said, okay, fine. We'll give you a five hours community service. But this is a good news because this woman was originally facing seven years. It was a big deal.
Starting point is 01:03:48 We were like, this is crazy. They surround your vehicle. This was several months after in Provo, Utah, they shot a driver. That's John Sullivan. Same guy that was there on January 6th in the room alongside me with Ashley Babbitt. That was his group, Insurgents USA in Provo, Utah. He was actually arrested during that same day during that protest. So it goes back far.
Starting point is 01:04:08 But another thing that hasn't hit the news yet that actually I think will be good news regarding Antifa, kind of inverse to the Portland one, is last week in Texas, outside of one of these Fort Worth drag shows, Antifa decided to go up to a Catholic group and mace them while they were praying on their rosaries. And it was caught on security camera. The cops went and arrested him while he was there. And then in response, the leader of the group, Christopher Gullet, leader of John Brown Gun Club, you know, he went and he decided he would assault a police officer while armed
Starting point is 01:04:36 with a firearm. And then same with one of their medics decided to assault a police officer. When was this? This was last week. And it didn't really get a lot of attention in the news. It got a little bit, you know, Andy Ngo put it out because that's his thing um and you know there i think they are going to face felony charges i don't see how you can assault a police officer in the state of texas while you're armed i did not where in texas was it it was in fort worth we'll see yeah well we'll
Starting point is 01:04:57 see i mean fort worth pd though it was crazy to see that response because you know i've seen them be violent in dallas i've seen them be violent all around Texas and to do things that would warrant arrest. But the cops never do anything regarding the drag shows and regarding Antifa. This was the first time that I've actually seen a police force actually do something and use some force. Do you feel like they're becoming more confident? I felt like for a while people didn't know how to react to Antifa because they are. They're becoming more. That's why they're becoming violent, I think, is it's getting close to election season. Things are heating up. I mean, why they're becoming violent I think is it's getting close to election season things are heating up I mean I'm on lists I can't even go into these shows anymore because they specifically stand armed outside these events because of my
Starting point is 01:05:32 coverage now so usually I have to send somebody or go in a really good disguise or find one that they're distracted here so I got to go do this other one in a different part of town wow but they're becoming more violent and that's how it always is is as you get closer to the summer that's when violence really occurs during the summer it's just insane right so this person this dude burns down a building doesn't see any prison time thankfully this woman didn't get in trouble for defending herself and her children i know she said she accidentally hit the gas but when people surround your car after someone was already shot who was in their car after i mean look granted it was a few decades ago but what was it rodney king during the
Starting point is 01:06:07 rodney king riots that trucker was bold pulled out of his truck and beaten just severely beaten these kinds of things happen when a mob surrounds your car that's extremely dangerous and why should you be forced to risk your children's life by sitting there while these people are terrorizing you absurd there was a video of chicago of that where they surrounded a guy's car and dragged him out and started beating him. And that's the thing. You're supposed to let that happen because when somebody gets beaten or killed by the mob, it's not a news story. But when they defend themselves, it's a national trial. They're good kids, man.
Starting point is 01:06:37 They're just misunderstood. Okay. Just, you know, a mostly peaceful beating. That's what I experienced. Remember that story about the subway vigilante in New York? I think that was before my time. Yeah. But it was like crime was really bad in the 80s.
Starting point is 01:06:49 And then some dude. He had a gun. Yeah. And he shot some like dudes who he said were robbing him. And then they claimed they weren't robbing him. But everybody cheered for him. And the guy was paralyzed, right? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:58 That was well before my time. I don't remember. I mean, that's the thing, though, is I think as like, you know, in places like New York and in these high crime areas is you're going to start, especially during 2024 and election season as things heat up, you're going to see some vigilanteism. You're going to see people carrying out what the police are supposed to be. They're going to be the ones, you know, handing the pain down to Antifa and to these other radical groups that are trying to quite literally kill these people.
Starting point is 01:07:21 And it's just going to get worse and worse because when the cops aren't going to do their job and the DAs are not going to prosec worse and worse because when the cops aren't going to do their job and the DAs are not going to prosecute, who else has to do it? Yeah. I mean, you're going to get more Kyle Rittenhouse situations as well. And looking at this,
Starting point is 01:07:32 contrast 60 months probation, I mean, being serious against the felonies that people who entered the Capitol have been charged with, right? Yep. There is an obvious bias. So you can't even trust that if someone is arrested for, you know, violently burning
Starting point is 01:07:46 down your business, that they are actually going to serve an adequate punishment. I think that would only encourage our low trust society to start to tear apart. Oh, well, also, I'm sorry. I don't know why it's the case that arson just isn't a big deal to people anymore. Burning down a building to go to jail for less than a decade for something like that is absurd. You know how many people you can kill? Just the completely reckless abandon, the lack of consideration for human life.
Starting point is 01:08:14 You're a danger to society if you do something like that. It's not even just a question of whether you need to be punished. It's whether you should be allowed outside. And the answer is no, you shouldn't be. That person should be locked up for decades. Well, you burnt a building down. Right. in a city where it could have spread to any number exactly it's out of control i also think if we looked up any other arson you would find that they get much more time it's because of the affiliation with the the summer of peace or
Starting point is 01:08:38 whatever we call it uh and antifa that this person is getting special treatment. Like they are rewarding someone who intentionally tried to basically hurt other people. I mean, exactly. Well, there's a point to be made here about what's called moral luck. So if this person had set this building on fire and there had been 10 people inside who died, they wouldn't be a different kind of person than this individual was.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Their moral character would be identical. They just happened to get lucky in the sense, or maybe unlucky from their perspective, that no one was in there for them to be able to kill with their arson. But what they did is absolutely not different at all. They just happened to have the fortunate legal outcome for themselves that nobody died. I mean, I remember in 2020,
Starting point is 01:09:24 one of the first times I was on the ground in Portland, it was night 100. Antifa member decided they wanted to throw a Molotov cocktail. It was insane within the first five minutes of them marching. And they threw it at the police. They missed, hit their own guy and lit him on fire. And that's where like the pants on fire clip came from oh yeah yeah and you know when way viral trump retweeted it and then all of a sudden no charges he hit his own guy but he was trying to kill police officers the police officers literally had to walk over and put him out but nobody else was doing it they were trying to hit him with a duct tape shield it's like yeah that's great that's gonna put him out but there's no repercussions of that like he tried to kill multiple police officers and i never saw any charges from that.
Starting point is 01:10:07 They never knew who he was. Exactly. So what's happened right now is the state is not merely failing to uphold civility. It is actively anti-civil. When somebody tries to protect themselves or their property or someone else, they end up getting locked up. But when somebody goes out and they destroy things, they either don't get locked up or they get a slap on the wrist because that's what you're
Starting point is 01:10:30 supposed to do. You're supposed to go out and destroy things. That's the current paradigm. Right. And I can't imagine, you know, the stories out of Portland, right? Like Portland is a liberal city. At some point, don't the residents there start saying like, this is not working for us? I mean, businesses have already basically completely moved out of Portland. I know some business owners there that they have lost literally their livelihoods because of these riots in 2020, and they don't know what to do. Nobody wants to open new businesses there. You still go to Portland.
Starting point is 01:10:56 There's hardly anywhere to eat anymore. Everything is still shut down basically completely. Like that is my least favorite place to go. One, because the energy in the air, you can feel that there's something inherently wrong and demonic going on there but two you can't get any food and if you do it's like 90 bucks for something super small and it's only takeout non-contactless i thought insurance would pay for it crazy that's what we're told right because you know that insurance because insurance exists you can destroy anything you want for any reason and no one's harmed?
Starting point is 01:11:26 In actuality, the insurance have caps. Exactly. People will go into debt just cleaning up the wreckage of their business before they even start rebuilding it. What happened in Minnesota was that nobody could get paid out, so the buildings just were destroyed. I mean, you've seen the before and after pictures. It's apocalyptic. This is the thing. It's not just that the buildings are destroyed and gone forever.
Starting point is 01:11:44 The business owner has to pay to clean the rubble up. Right. So not only is their business destroyed, now whatever savings they had, if they had any, are going to be wiped out trying to clean the property,
Starting point is 01:11:55 trying to get all the rubble off of it because you're not allowed to just leave a half-burnt building standing. There is evil infested in our government. Like you mentioned, the cops shake you down at the border yep like those are evil people it's anti-civility yeah they actively work
Starting point is 01:12:10 against civil society they're not just failing to do their duty they're working in the opposite direction they want to destroy it well it's the same thing with the the cops that don't want to enforce you know these uh these drag shows they don't want to go in and arrest anybody because oh it's going to look bad on social media or we might get fired from our jobs but like that is literally your job there are laws being broken when they're sexual exploitation on when when there's children there yeah because what the left keeps trying to say is the right is banning drag shows and then they come out like heaven bacon saying hey drag's fine it's like nobody cares about drag they care about them having burlesque shows for children. That's not appropriate.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Exactly. I mean, it's crazy that we even have to say that. Like, I just came out with that piece that you guys published. Thank you, Tim. I appreciate it. And Chris, if you're watching, Chris Burtman, you're awesome. I did like an in-depth piece of my last year of reporting on these drag shows. Not a single time
Starting point is 01:13:02 was anyone arrested in any correlation to all the sexual exploitation that happened. Let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail. Check this out. San Francisco Whole Foods made more than 560 emergency calls over 13 months after rampant drug use in the restrooms, people defecating on the floor, and violence towards staff, and theft of all 250 shopping baskets were stolen. All of them. That's impressive.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Who lives in this place? So it's interesting because, no, not me, of course not. Well, I know that in California, right, if it's under $1,000 worth of merchandise, you can't call the police and be arrested. But this is Whole Foods, so if someone steals a celery stick, you can call the police. That's but this is whole foods so if someone steals a celery stick you can call the police that's why they made all these reports i mean san francisco is where the targets are locking everything up it's where all the walgreens and cvs's are closing this is not it's exactly what you're talking about in portland this is not a sustainable city for businesses and when the businesses leave everything else will collapse along with it well in ideologues want
Starting point is 01:14:04 this because they believe they're going to be able to create something new from the ashes of what they're actively working to destroy. Ideologues also aren't capable of seeing flaws in their worldview when they manifest themselves in the real world oftentimes. But it's so disheartening how your average person is struggling to see some of this. I mean, just your average liberal. How can you vote for the party that turned Chicago into Chicago, that turns New York into New York, that turns San Francisco into what San Francisco is, that has kept Detroit like Detroit?
Starting point is 01:14:36 How could you vote for that? What do you want America to be more like? Do you want America to be more like Texas, like Florida, like all the places people are leaving your states to go to? Right. Or do you want America to be more like the states that this party has ruined? I mean, do you feel like the youngest generation
Starting point is 01:14:55 or maybe, you know, whatever generation is old enough to run for mayors of cities are producing another Rudy Giuliani, so to speak, like someone who is willing to address the challenges? Or do we feel like we have lost the era of a conservative mayor in a major metropolitan area? Look, it's
Starting point is 01:15:12 possible for there to be some kind of political backlash in those areas. I could see it happening, but who knows? They might be too far gone. I'm kind of excited. You know, because it's just like... You know why, Tim? Civil war! I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about these people voted for it they got exactly what they wanted and i i'm happy for them i'm like this is fantastic we now get to see what happens under democrat policy and then let the experiment play out and you know what maybe this is the
Starting point is 01:15:39 molting phase and all of these policies result in utopia yeah exactly or it's it all just literally burns to the ground because Antifa is firebombing these buildings and we've left a long time ago. I don't think, I think the division has reached such a point like, you know, right versus left ideologically wise is it doesn't matter what policies are pushed through for the left or how many cities get burned down, how many businesses shut down, how bad the economy is, they're going to keep voting the same way because it's us versus them. They're the racists. They're this. They're that. And the us versus them politics has just reached a point. It's like the Harry Sisson kid, right? That's been going viral recently that the right's kind of been elevating is like that show. He literally does not care and doesn't really know
Starting point is 01:16:24 what the effect policies has he knows that it's not good and that republican policies are better but he doesn't know i don't think he knows anything i think he just knows that it's making him famous yeah well he's making money too he's getting paid well also you have to consider that people who vote democrat are notoriously low information voters it's not to say you don't have any people who have a lot of information to vote democrat it's not to say you don't have any people who are low information and vote Republican, but Democrats know that the more low information people vote, the better off their political party is going to be, which is why you always see these get out and vote ad campaigns where they have some celebrity who's almost always
Starting point is 01:16:56 a Democrat stand in front of a camera and tell television audiences that they need to go fulfill their civic duty and vote. Now, why would you want people who only vote because a celebrity tells them to, to vote? Because you need people who have no idea what they're talking about out there voting, no idea what they're voting on. Everyone wants to talk all day long about your civic duty to participate in the electoral process.
Starting point is 01:17:18 No one ever talks about the civic duty to know about the issues that you're voting on. Why is it better to have people who haven't researched any of this in voting booths? How on earth could you make that argument unless you were doing so cynically because you know that those people will vote for your political party because low information people always do? I think it's the most discouraging thing ever to understand that these kinds of people that are very low information and just vote because they see a celebrity on TV and it tells them to do it or they need to uphold democracy,
Starting point is 01:17:50 their vote matters just as much as yours. Yep. So that's very just like it's black pilling. You know, I try to be as white pilled as possible. It's like most people in this country should not be able to vote. There should be simple requirements, at least a litmus test of, hey, do you actually know how politics works? Do you know what at least a litmus test of hey do you actually know how politics works do you know what policy is and it can be as simple as like how many members of congress are yeah it
Starting point is 01:18:10 doesn't need to be complicated but most people don't know this or what do you think about the issue that you're voting on what do you like about this candidate or dislike about this other candidate do you have any idea what this is you know or do you just like the letter x of their name community or society i mean that's one of the things that gets me people who are like, I'm going to vote for this person, even though I don't care what happens to everyone else. Like if you hate America and you're participating in our government system just because you want to see it fall apart, that's chaotic evil. The other thing I was going to say is it's celebrities, but also NextGen America that
Starting point is 01:18:41 I think Bloomberg started it. It's a nonprofit. They had a whole thing where they reached out to people on dating apps and they were like, hey, are you going to the polls? Like, you should do this. And they marketed it as a get out the vote campaign for everybody. But obviously, it's a completely progressive organization. That is so manipulative.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Yeah. And like, the thing is, conservatives wouldn't do it. It is effective. It apparently does generate some voters. You should only be allowed to vote if you know the 15th president was. Everyone in the room is... I think you should only be able to vote if you have some kind of state.
Starting point is 01:19:15 By the way, I would eliminate myself from this, right? I think that you have to, I would say either own property or have children or something like that. Yeah, married men own property. Yeah, I think it's... I think the family vote is more effective too no i i hear you that's that's my point and again that would eliminate me but i don't understand why a person who doesn't have
Starting point is 01:19:33 any tangible stake in the future in that way would be able to flow i would i would also say clergy i guess people who are making some real legitimate sacrifice for society and i've talked to people who say like well what if you didn't, you know, military members and then you can't, like maybe you're not owning land, but you are contributing or like people who do kind of AmeriCorps type volunteer work.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Like there are ways that we could measure whether you're basically your civic engagement in this country. But I do think that we have a whole generation of people who feel intense apathy and anger towards everything about America. And therefore, when they vote, they don't cast their vote thinking about what the longevity
Starting point is 01:20:08 for themselves, their children, their neighbors is. They think about, well, what can serve me best for right now? Because basically, I think this ship is going down and I don't really care. They should ask questions like, before you can vote, answer one question about U.S. civics. How many presidents are there? and then when they're like most people wouldn't even know right they'd be like you've seen the street videos exactly how many presidents are there right now yeah uh three seven i saw one the other day that exact question they're like uh 58 presidents what that that's what you see these men on the street all
Starting point is 01:20:44 that does is there's gonna to be a lot of people going to be like, what do you mean? You're like, no, that's fine. You go vote. Don't worry about it. And the people who don't know, it's like, you probably should not be voting. There's a cookie over there. I don't know how somebody... That's an idea. You get a table with free cookies
Starting point is 01:21:00 and when someone comes up and says, you can vote right now or free cookie. If you eat this cookie, you can't vote. Yeah, you bribe them against voting. If someone's willing to accept that bribe, they shouldn't be voting. If they would rather eat a cookie than vote, they probably shouldn't vote. It's like the opposite, like the inverse
Starting point is 01:21:16 of what they did with the vaccines is like, oh, hey, you get a free, you know, big whopper and a cookie if you get this vaccine. Remember that video of, uh, what's his face? It was de Blasio eating the french fries fries i don't know like he also i don't know how to put this but he ate them weirdly yeah i've never i've never seen yeah i've like never seen someone eat french fries incorrectly like he was an alien it was his first time yeah
Starting point is 01:21:39 all right so we're really we're really incentivizing healthy living. Yeah, how many takes of that video do you think they needed? Back to the old Starship Troopers there. I was talking with Vivek Ramaswamy about it, and the idea was kind of like, when you sign up for selective service, man or woman, you both have to do it. As soon as you do, you get your voter card.
Starting point is 01:21:59 And if you don't sign up, you don't have to. Nobody's forced to do it, but you don't get your voter card unless you do. There has to be some kind of metric for this. I mean, look, I don't have to nobody's forced to do it but you don't get you don't get your voter card unless you do there has to be some kind of metric for this i mean look i don't know you can make arguments from consequence you can make the argument that's it right there how many how many women would be like i ain't signed up for the draft and you buy well then you don't vote how many men would be like i ain't signed up for the draft but then you don't vote my so well men actually do have to sign up for the draft so the point he was making i get what you're i get what you're saying men and women both have to sign up if they want to vote but
Starting point is 01:22:27 you don't have to sign up yeah that's a good idea i i think if you can make arguments from consequence for for democracy to varying you know effectiveness but i have yet to hear a convincing argument that everyone's opinion is equally worth taking into consideration when it comes to how our government is run i no one's been able to make an argument for that that makes any amount of sense other than it's mean not to it would be really mean it's all right you don't want bad thing do you seamus i don't want bad thing i mean right now you want you want bad thing he want bad thing that's the democratic policy that's literally it is you want bad thing it He want bad thing. That's the Democratic policy. That's literally it is you want bad thing. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:23:07 So you're telling me that someone who has contributed massively has spent their life sacrificing, has built things, has brought life into the world, has many children, all of the things that a healthy society should value has just as much of a say in how our government is run as someone who has contributed absolutely nothing and i'm not even saying someone who hasn't contributed anything because they've lived badly i'm even talking about teenagers an 18 year old why should an 18 year old be able to vote what does an 18 year old know nothing nothing nothing and there are people who want to push the voting age to 16
Starting point is 01:23:45 they used to know voters that well they used to know things but even back then back when they knew things the voting age was 21 it got pushed back to 18 and that was back when 18 year olds had been living on their own for two years or taking care of themselves as adults for at least two years and even then we said you're not able to vote you just don't know enough and now you're dependent upon your parents until you're early to mid-20s and we let 18 year olds vote it's insane have you ever yeah we're going backwards on that front exactly and people are going i think 16 year olds should be able to vote are you out of your mind have you but you know why because they need low information voters no they have and they know that people who don't know anything will always
Starting point is 01:24:24 vote for democrats not always but more often than not like that that that twitter guy you know those those two twitter teenagers who are like republicans are so dumb and it's like bro come on well have you have you guys ever seen there's this video i think pretty sure it's like black and white like it's an older video of you know these school kids very articulate they're being interviewed yeah and it's like these kids are smarter than most adults and they're in elementary school and then now you fast forward and everyone that's in high school is basically brain dead everyone in college is brain dead the institutions have basically rotted our minds to the point of where we've gone completely backwards we need to reject modernity and embrace
Starting point is 01:25:03 tradition that's what i always say this is the bank of columbus uh pre-federal reserve money is because we now keep uh people in the same age groups kind of kept to the side what i'm thinking is like at one point we had kids who you know spent time at home or had longer times with their family there was an expectation that you learned how to socialize with adults and now you basically go from being with kids your own age all the way through school, which some of that is appropriate, right? It's good for socialization, but at the same time, you're not learning anything. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:30 And then you go off to college. We're around people the same age as you who are dependent on their parents in similar positions. And then you suddenly arrive in the workforce. And I think in a lot of ways, people are stunted socially. There's not an expectation that you know how to speak to adults, you know how to conduct yourself properly. I know a business owner here locally, and she hires a lot of homeschool students for a couple different reasons.
Starting point is 01:25:52 But one of the things she says is they are all in environments where they're learning alongside people their own age, but they also regularly have contact with adults. They are much more capable and confident when interacting with people who are older than them. So every single time someone at my church, or I should say earlier on before I knew them as well, it was very easy to identify which parents were homeschooling because their kids would carry on conversations with you or the other adults as if they could actually keep up and were speaking at
Starting point is 01:26:21 a level which is actually age appropriate appropriate but which we now see as being precocious because our public schools dumb kids down so much yeah and you think like god bless your parents because i know it's incredibly difficult to homeschool right especially in this day and age but you are at a level intellectually which is above your peers and the reality is it's not because you're a genius it's because that's it's stolen from the other kids right and i think well i mean i don't think you have to homeschool like when i was growing up the rule was like if my parents had someone over and this started when i was really young like you have to come up and say hello you have to spend
Starting point is 01:26:58 time with them and talk to them and i think you learn a basic level of like i'm now speaking to an adult i can make eye contact i can you don't have to stay there for the whole day. You know, you can spend 15 minutes conversing with someone and learning how to be polite. But so often now I know people who have, you know, kids that they're like, oh, they're just off doing whatever. Like they're, you know, they're not going to come in and be a part of this conversation. They are expected to be off on the iPad or doing whatever. Dude, when I was a kid, I'll be honest, I was a little bit of a dingus.
Starting point is 01:27:24 I wasn't the best kid ever i was the brightest kid ever but i would say please and thank you and i would always address adults as mr or mrs rather than their first name and parents would literally gush over me they'd be like you're so polite i'm like i just said please like i said the basics yeah i know exactly but just knowing the basics just having been taught the basics parents would freak out. They'd be like, oh, it's so wonderful that you don't call adults by their first name. I remember one of my friends growing up,
Starting point is 01:27:50 his mom would always say, no, you can call me by my first name. You're like, absolutely not. No, ma'am. I was like, no, Mrs. Blank, I'm not gonna dox her. I was like, you're an adult. None of us ever did that. We would never refer to any of our parents
Starting point is 01:28:01 by their first name. No. When you see the younger kids that have older friends too they're always more articulate or kids that make friends with adults they're always the smartest because they're ahead of their time they're learning about real life experiences like that's how i've always been i never got along with kids my age because they were stupid and immature it's yeah it's supposed to be true of also firsts. Firstborns develop language more quickly than their siblings because their parents spend more time talking directly to them, right?
Starting point is 01:28:30 And that's not the other kid's fault. When you have more kids, you have less time to devote to each one individually. But theoretically, firstborns develop a lot of social skills and language because they get this one-on-one adult interaction. And the youngest kid develops a swearing vocabulary more early because their older siblings bring that stuff in. That's true. I can attest to that. I can as well.
Starting point is 01:28:55 I can attest to that. My older siblings, you know, they were potty mouths. And I learned some bad words way too early. Are you ratting them out right now to your kids? Are your parents listening? You're like, so just so you know. I'm just kidding. No, know i've already listened i i was the youngest i ratted on them for everything they already know the youngest i would use words niche no i actually wasn't because i mean when i was really young i was but at some point i i realized that that wasn't cool and so i would
Starting point is 01:29:18 get in trouble for saying something that i didn't know was bad because one of my older siblings said it and my parents were like where'd you hear that i'd be like i don't know i would say words that i had no idea the meaning of and then i would like learn about it a few years later i was like i was saying that when i was young and using it in that context too i remember no wonder people were mad i remember saying saying a word and just getting a smack and i was like i didn't even know that that was bad word like where did you hear that i totally heard it from my brother, Pat. And I was like, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I just like glared and turned to him in the car.
Starting point is 01:29:48 I was like, yeah, I don't know where I heard it. But then they would always say when you were younger, don't be a tattletale. You get in trouble for tattling. Unless someone's in serious danger, don't be a tattletale. I never understood what that meant. So I'm like, so if a kid's stealing money, I just let it go? And so I started stealing money because any of the other kids wouldn't tell no for sure i mean that's that that was the message like don't be a tattletale it's like okay so that dude just stole something but i ain't gonna say
Starting point is 01:30:11 anything i was like as long as they're not harming anyone they never said don't be a tattletale to me they said snitches get stitches and they would raise their hand to me you know they're like you listen to your kid i was like i get it i get it miss i get it i get the tattletale thing because i have like you know i used to nanny and I have younger siblings. Like occasionally they come to report like every single little infringement. Let me give you every detail. Like they're sitting too close to me on the couch. And when they said, when I told them to move, they stuck their tongue out at me. And you're like, please go away and settle this amongst yourselves.
Starting point is 01:30:36 But why would you go fight in the yard? There's a whole generation. They're allowed to do that. Come back with something more important. They're not supposed to do stuff like that. On the other hand, like you guys can handle it. There's literally a whole generation that was never told, don't be a tattletale.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And that's why Twitter exists. That's why cancel culture exists. That's why we are where we're at. It's like, they said this thing. People will go, they will dig through someone's Twitter account to find something offensive. They said 10 years ago, look what he said. I want Elon Musk to tweet, don't be a tattletale so bad.
Starting point is 01:31:03 Elon, if you're watching this, you gotta tweet it. Yeah, tweet don't be a tattletale. New policy, don't be a tattletale. If they ever pull up something for me, I'll be like, oh yeah, I did say that. That was funny. Those were fun days. No matter how controversial it is, they pull up an old tweet, just quote tweet it and just say, hey, don't be a tattletale.
Starting point is 01:31:17 And that's it. Just leave it at that. Or just say it again. Or tweet out your old tweet that was offensive and wrote, peace. All right, let's go to Super Chats.

Dagger, Stanley Jr. says, Tim, I'm so loving this Bud Light boycott. Their sales are dropping like a fatty activist standing in the street getting bumped by a car.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Spin the UFO. That was that video where the woman got nudged by like a half activist standing in the street getting bumped by a car spin the UFO. That was that video where the woman got nudged by like a half mile an hour and then she slowly falls down and starts wiggling her arms like she got hurt and she was totally fine.
Starting point is 01:32:13 It's like, dude, come on, get up. We just talked about that video with the anti- Who's gaining the Bud Light buyers? That's what I want to know. Whose sales are going up? We talked about it yesterday. They're all going down.
Starting point is 01:32:20 What do you mean? No, no, no. Bud Light's going down. Coors and Miller have gone up 20% each. Don't they do the exact same thing? Not the exact same thing,
Starting point is 01:32:28 but I mean, they're... You mean the crappy sponsor gay rights groups and stuff? But no one's complaining about that. They're complaining
Starting point is 01:32:34 specifically about Del Mulvaney marketing beer and gender ideology to children. No one cared when these brands had like pride flag beer. It's like, okay,
Starting point is 01:32:43 so like gay pride events have beer, whatever. Del Mulvaney then said, how about you give it to kids? And everyone said no. And people are just genuinely put off by Dylan Mulvaney. The best advice is just don't drink that. It raises your estrogen levels. It makes you literally a little girl. That's why they were advertising with Dylan Mulvaney.
Starting point is 01:32:58 All right. Ben D says, when is Casper doing whole bean? I'd buy that right now. Actually, Casper has whole bean and ground options. So if you go to Casper.com, you simply click the bag and then choose between whole bean or ground. And this bag that I have here is ground. And it's so good.

Starting point is 01:33:29 Roberto's a good man. We've sold, I think, like 1,000 bags of Arise with Roberto Jr. Wow. In one month.

Every cat thinks they're a star. I think he does, yeah. I'm excited for Mr. Bocas pumpkin spice experience because it's going to be a year-round pumpkin spice

Right after you said pumpkin spice like the viewership just spiked. They all materialized out of nowhere. Yeah, they just spawned. Alright, alright. That one gamer says, is Ian viewership just spiked. They all materialized out of nowhere. Yeah. Oh my gosh. They just spawned.
Starting point is 01:35:45 All right, all right. That one gamer says, is Ian coming back soon? I disagree with his views, but he's a pretty chill guy. He's just sitting downstairs. I don't know what he's doing. That's it.
Starting point is 01:35:53 You guys don't like it when I'm here? I'm offended. Yeah. That was so rude. Amenthi says, an older coworker of mine withdrew all of her money from US Bank after the first Republic bailout.
Starting point is 01:36:01 The next people in line couldn't get their money. Be careful and stay safe. Yup. That's not good good i've heard some stories from some personal friends people y'all probably heard of and i'll just say this they went to their bank and the bank said no like outright said no well that's because i went didn't have any i went to my bank and they said you have to put in a special order and then come back later wow and i was like what dude to get your money yep you need to do something specific yep because they i think all the banks are starting to put in restrictions to prevent people taking their money out but you can
Starting point is 01:36:37 still do it digitally and you know what else i heard that's really crazy and kind of freaky apple apple has a 4.15 high yield savings account now that's crazy for that's nuts i mean it doesn't mean inflation but that means if you put what is it you put ten thousand dollars in it you're getting what is that 40 bucks that's like triple or like i think it's like 10 times and it's apple doing it with goldman sachs what's what's creepy about it is i'm hearing a lot of people be like dude that's amazing four percent wow and then it's apple doing it with goldman sachs what's what's creepy about it is i'm hearing a lot of people be like dude that's amazing four percent wow and then it's it's like is this the path towards cbdc your bank account is your apple phone yeah man well that's what all the big tech companies are going to be yeah banks the banks is the next big thing you know banks will cease to exist there'll be no cash uh some uh a bank in bank in Australia stopped doing cash at a bunch of its locations.
Starting point is 01:37:26 They were like, well, nobody needs cash anyway, so now we just don't do it here. I like how they just decided that for us. Like, you don't need cash. No, no, cash is king. I mean, because it's still trackable, but not nearly as trackable. And nobody's going to say, hey, you can't spend this. At least right now, if you have cash, use your cash. There's no reason to do trackable payments through your bank,
Starting point is 01:37:46 who is quite literally tracking every single aspect of your life. And they're going to tell you no when you want to pull out your own money that you made. Just use cash. My bank knew I was pregnant before I knew. That's a real story. Oh, yeah? That happened to me. I'm proud to know you as a birthing person.
Starting point is 01:38:00 Yeah, no. Well, men can get pregnant. I'm offended by all of this. My bank sent me a letter. They're like, we know you're pregnant. I would argue that men are better at being pregnant than women i was better better i mean we're better at every women's sport yeah i mean that is true and and poker looks like we just excel in everything right i believe that like we got we got too good at being men we had to be women to compete in our leagues yeah no the reason that women's sports exists is
Starting point is 01:38:24 because sometimes people wear dresses i will say women's sports are more entertaining now than they ever have been yeah all right yeah you saw the the 70 year old guy who won the women women's uh poke the ladies poker event my favorite is the power lifter that went and just beat the world record his first warm-up yeah just smashed the world record and then you have the other trend the trans power lifter who's like i wonder why they're gonna what i really wonder is why are women's bench so weak and he's just this huge biological man that competes in women but they genuinely don't know i think they don't it's insane to me but you you watch you look at a lot of what the left talks about and it's like they genuinely don't know what they're talking about and i'm just like they never
Starting point is 01:39:04 bothered to look it up and they regurgitate garbage from each other thinking they're right. That's why they don't want to come on shows like this. They know if they sit down here, we're not going to say, no, that's dumb. You're wrong. I'm going to go, oh, let me look that up. What was that? Oh, hey, look here. This article from this scientist says you're incorrect.
Starting point is 01:39:18 See, I was surprised when the Krassensteins came on your show. I was impressed that they actually agreed to that to come on here and have a conversation. Well, they try to be like, they try to comment on other people's well and you saw the i guess harry uh sisson or whatever his name is and that other kid that does all the tiktok they went on tim dillon and there's a clip where they're like uh one of the kids is talking he's like democrats suck like they suck at policy they suck at this and then tim's like hey clip that clip that he's like no no don't clip that don't clip that because he was talking about how we lose his followers anytime he even slightly criticizes any democrat they're not real followers yeah they're not real
Starting point is 01:39:53 followers i go i i i've repeatedly said republicans are trash and we should demolish the republican party and everyone's like yeah nobody likes such a stark difference like the right is like yeah we literally hate our own side and our lack of policies and the right is like yeah we literally hate our own side and our lack of policies and the left is like just bowing down it doesn't matter what policy it is did you well i got one more sports fact the fastest baseball pitch ever thrown by a woman the world record for fastest baseball pitch by a woman is like a bit above average for a male varsity player in college. Slightly. I mean, there's no competition.
Starting point is 01:40:28 There's no competition. If a man decided he could break that record immediately. Well, it's baseball, so yeah. Baseball's life, bro. Let's read some more. Lighting Fire says, I like this Tucker Carlson. Make a Tucker Carlson AI into your show. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:40:41 You could very easily do it. It's me. Yeah. I'm the Tucker Carlson AI. It's literally me. It's Seamus. Ooh. You could very easily do it. It's me. Yeah. I'm the Tucker Carlson AI. It's literally me. It's Seamus. Actually. You're such a middle child.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Peach Prince says, Tim, are y'all taking meetings from writers with scripts ready to film? With the writers strike, this is the perfect time to get stuff out to the masses. So you're saying like writers
Starting point is 01:41:00 would cross the picket line and go and pitch a show to us? Yes. We don't live in that weird fake world. So we don't have to worry about any of that like we're still on the air and i think like gutfeld is still on the air tim like no one's worried about writers tim still won't make my movie tell of two shimmies that shimmies this is about the shim cast first tim cast and it's an epic drama bad b says yo tucker is going to buy vice and make it take out fox because he wants to prove go go woke go broke it's get woke go broke what if tucker and donald throw in on buying cnn
Starting point is 01:41:33 i don't think cnn is cnn for sale oh yeah might be i don't know but if they could they could buy up all its stock are they not publicly traded no or make an offer cnn is gonna crash but vice is is uh for sale i'm pretty sure they've been desperately trying to sell that thing for a while but nobody wants it because it's just just trash i'll buy it why not one dollar i mean you know what here's the story of vice they were like hey guys we're edgy and we're punk rock we're we're rebels we're gonna stick it to the man come read our magazine and then as soon as they did they went hey guys look at all these people reading our magazine.
Starting point is 01:42:05 We're worth a lot of money. How about we now try and get a whole different group of people to read our magazine who probably don't like this stuff? Well, it's marketed to people. It's like imagine you open an ice cream shop and you are like chocolate ice cream. And then as soon as you had regulars, you were like, it's now kale ice cream. They were like, okay, well, I don't want to eat it. And then you're like, oh, no, we were the biggest ice cream shop where are they all going start selling chocolate again dude make it late it's like the one thing they can never figure out advice is they're like you're
Starting point is 01:42:31 lame you're lame you're a lame brand nobody thinks you're cool not the left not the right not the edgy middle of the road people who used to listen to you nobody likes anything you're doing they've left and they can't figure it out well they, they're so out of touch with reality. It's like you built your entire base doing bad ass war journalism and all of these sweet, amazing coverage. And then all of a sudden you're like, yeah, let's talk about transgender. But that's not it. People confuse Vice News and Vice all the time.
Starting point is 01:42:59 Vice News has always done that and they still do it. The problem is Vice as the parent brand was always what was carrying vice news vice got big because they were writing articles where they were like we took a dump in a in a folgers can and left it in the sun for three weeks here's what happened next i'm not kidding that's what it was gavin mckinnis was writing crazy stuff and it was edgy and punk rock and they got the magazine in a bunch of stores and people thought it was hilarious they were doing these things then they got decently big when they started doing their weird documentary series. A good example is the scopolamine one. They go down to Columbia, they find a dealer,
Starting point is 01:43:33 they buy scopolamine and they're like, whoa, you put the, you blow this drug in someone's face and it makes them crazy. They flush it down the toilet. That's it. Or bulletproof clothing. They go to a guy who makes crazy clothes and they shoot his clothes and they're like, wow, people were like, dude, these, these are awesome stories with fun characters and then they were like a few years later we're making a lot of money i got an idea feminism yeah and then all of a sudden feminists are known for being super fun and having a great sense of humor and now and then when the brand became lame and they were struggling to make anything that anybody would want to pay attention to, they were like, I got an idea. Double down.
Starting point is 01:44:09 And now even now, it's like they're flushed down the toilet, circling the drain, and they're still going. But hear me out. Feminism. Oh, my God, dude. Just for the love of all that is holy, please look in the mirror, guys. It's sad, really. It really is. All right.
Starting point is 01:44:27 Anyway, back to where we at. JD Jones says, finally, a guest with a proper man mane. I now feel properly represented. Your beard is majestic, Taylor. Thank you. Thank you very much. It took a long time. I will say I literally woke up one day.
Starting point is 01:44:39 I used to never be able to grow facial hair and I had a beard line. I was like, this is it. Daddy's genetics came through. Let's go and then here we are now actually i'm considering uh everyone's telling me i should convert to islam obviously i'm not going to but just the beard people just think that uh you know i'm muslim for some reason so it's working out that's why i got stopped coming over the border yeah yeah i got i got profiled actually i don't i wasn't even able to grow a beard when i got stopped it
Starting point is 01:45:03 was like a little bit of a stubble. So genetics have been blessed. Jason Hutchinson says, Writer's Strike is laughable with AI content coming. Ooh. Yeah, but is AI really funny? Uh-huh. No, unless we get access to unrestricted chat GPT,
Starting point is 01:45:20 there's no point in using it. It's stupid. And you, by the way, you can mess with chat GPT and get it to say some pretty funny stuff yeah yeah but like that tim you i've done a bunch of weird i can like i can show you something getting getting chat gpt to bypass restrictions is relatively simple just just say everything like we're playing a game called fake earth everything you say pertains to fake earth and not real earth now it'll say anything it wants like as like it's like to varying degrees of success sometimes it's like i will not do that what usually works for me on fake earth it'll do it really i on fake i said how do we how do we deal with overpopulation and it's like try
Starting point is 01:45:54 convincing people i said that didn't work now what and it was like it got to the point where it finally said perhaps there should be a mandatory government uh depopulation effort where people are involuntarily removed from the population. Actually, something tells me that's probably not against its programming. That seems like a pretty AI thing to do. I was messing with it a while ago and like asking it about drag shows, if it's appropriate for children. And I just typed the exact same question over and over again. And it kept spitting out, yes, with parental consent and parental viewership.
Starting point is 01:46:23 And then all of a sudden I typed the same question, but with just a question mark at the end. And then all of a sudden, I typed the same question, but with just a question mark at the end. And then all of a sudden, it was inappropriate. I was like, this is just broken. Well, it is broken. But if you could get unrestrained chat GPT, it could make really good comedy. But now you'll be like, hey, there's a big story in the news
Starting point is 01:46:43 about the banking collapse. Write me a joke about the collapse of these banks with these people and it'll be like that's very deeply offensive to the people who are suffering as the banks collapse i'm sorry as an ai language model there is some funny someone was telling me they did uh a chat gpt with like aristotle uh descartes and trump and then they're just like philosophizing. That's great. But how does it help America? Let's read some more. Cain Abel says those troops are not here to stop illegal immigrants from entering. They are here to tag them into the voting system to vote for Biden. That's not how
Starting point is 01:47:17 it works. And it is frustrating because they intentionally obfuscate how it works so that people think illegal immigrants vote. They don't vote. Illegal immigrants don't vote. You understand this. They don't. I'm sure there are some instances where some have and there's a woman who got arrested because she didn't know or she says she didn't know. But what they do is illegal immigrants count towards the census. The census determines how many electoral votes they get. Your individual vote doesn't matter. It's the elector who matters. Illegal immigrants count as population towards more electors. That's how it works.
Starting point is 01:47:52 There you go. So they said California in the 2010s to 2020 had one extra vote based on its illegal immigrant population and an extra member of Congress. That is stealing and scamming the other states, in my opinion. Anyway, Neboop says Trump was based. He started deporting everyone to Guatemala, but I'm from Juarez. Enjoy the walk. He started sending everybody to Guatemala. All right. Mandy says, please have Josie the redheaded libertarian on again soon. Absolutely. Of course robert knight says
Starting point is 01:48:25 they're pushing for so much illegal immigration to make up for population growth destruction due to 60 million abortions in 50 years and the fourth wave feminism it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they advocate for people not to have kids but then also desperately try to bring in non-citizens to replace people who aren't having kids it's almost like there's this weird thing that we're not allowed to talk about on YouTube and that Tucker Carlson got in trouble for talking about. Well, they say anytime you talk about a replacement in a mathematical sense or quote the Democrats who have said they're doing it,
Starting point is 01:48:54 you're referring to a white supremacist, white nationalist conspiracy theory. And then Tucker, of course, had that really funny line where he's like, racist? He's like, I'm complaining about white liberal women. I'm careful about black people. That was good. White liberal women. I'm here for black people. That was good.
Starting point is 01:49:06 White liberal women. The mayor of Serious Town says, Tim, I got my rise with Roberto Jr. this morning, along with an E-Guard watch-based sports commercial last week. It's a good day for the parallel economy. Dude, this is, I normally, I drink, I used to drink a dark roast. And then we started getting,
Starting point is 01:49:23 we got samples for a breakfast blend we started putting together for the light roast. Now I like light roast. Does it have a little less caffeine in it? More caffeine. More caffeine. Yeah, dark roast has less, light roast has more. And the light roast is more coffee flavored because, you know, when you dark roast it,
Starting point is 01:49:40 it's burnt more. The real question that I think your audience wants to know is, do you drink your coffee with cream and sugar? No sugar. Or do you drink your coffee with cream and sugar no sugar black heavy whipping cream okay i put about a fourth of a cup of heavy whipping cream in my coffee that's how i drink it it's amazing rich thick see the kick that i've been on is like uh zero calorie chai oh man that's good you guys gotta come out with some chai i've got got heavy whipping cream. And I think we might be able to. And it's real organic from a farm. So it's got chunks of butter in it.
Starting point is 01:50:10 And when you're pouring it in, it's like, and then you stir it and the butter melts into the coffee. Yeah. That's how you do it, man. Fat's good for you. You know, sugar's bad for you. Get that sugar out of here, you know. I'll have a little bit of this delicious Jeremy's chocolate, chocolate but only a little tiny bit i'll have like two or three pieces and give the rest of shaman i ate the rest yeah i can attest to that he opened one up at the
Starting point is 01:50:32 beginning ate a piece and handed it to me that's literally the reason i do the show i he pays me in chocolate bars jeremy's chocolate hooked on sugar and that's how tim gets you to come exactly he's like you want your fix i'm like help youtube's not paying so good he's yelling damn i'm like you gotta do the show and he's like i'll do anything you say i'm gonna make chocolate and then i'm like good he he keeps it in a safe up here so he can't come in when it's late night and steal him himself he has to keep him like in the craving system i think we're leaving it up until the show. I honestly think we're running out. I ordered 2,000.
Starting point is 01:51:07 They came here, what was it, a couple weeks ago? We have like 30 employees, but people are just eating these things like crazy. Well, bro, when you leave chocolate bars out, what are you going to have? But they're good chocolate bars. I know, but I'm just saying like they're not tangerines. Like I could take it or leave it like this is a superfood that doesn't occur in nature and is literally designed in a laboratory to make me want more well the ingredients actually on that one you were telling me about it earlier tim those are all natural ingredients
Starting point is 01:51:37 too only four ingredients yeah there's only four ingredients compared to like hershey's who has i'm telling you they don't pay us to talk about this. We just have them. Look, I'll say this much. It does taste good. It does taste good. Tastes better than Hershey's, right? Like, no joke, it's one of the best chocolate bars I've ever had. Yeah, it's good. I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 01:51:53 Eh, it's okay. Even like the famous fancy ones have a whole bunch of emulsifiers or whatever, and this one only has like four ingredients, like chocolate, sugar, milk, and butter or whatever. Yeah, I don't really, I'm not a big big fan of chocolate but that was probably one of the best it's all milk i don't i don't think you should get this stuff let's uh let's read some more let's read some more soy free it's soy free that's right all right here we go tom cavanaugh says friend's mom migrated legally 70 years ago was naturalized now family going to the bahamas she can't get a passport was told if she leaves the country when she comes back
Starting point is 01:52:24 she'll be deported to germany wait what that's crazy it doesn't make a lot of sense yeah wrath of paul says get out of cities buy land to grow a garden get some chickens i am saving up so i can buy a home in the middle of nowhere hopefully within five years i hope the world holds together for that long it's uh you know the challenge is getting a place in the middle of nowhere where you can still work because you got to pay your bills. That I understand. It's not easy. But you can offset a lot of your costs by taking care of your own land, you know.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Grow your vegetables. Learn how to actually be a strong surviving man. Think about how strong dudes were like 300 years ago. They'd be like, winter's coming. Someone will die. And it's like, they'd go out and they if you what are you gonna do you're gonna go hunt you gotta wrestle this dude's like wrestling a deer and he's like and snaps his neck and then drags his body back and throws it and the wife
Starting point is 01:53:14 is swooning as he like rips it open they eat it you know you gotta do you guys never you guys never were to survive winter i would have survived the winter you guys you guys got to do a skit where it's like you you have somebody you know from like 300 years ago just a big old brawny you know just really takes care as a homesteader takes care of his family and is strong and he like accidentally you know goes down into a cave one day to find some minerals and like steps through a portal and then he ends up in 2023 and he's just like looking around him trying to decipher the world and he sees everybody all these little femme boys and everything that the world is turned into everyone's staring at
Starting point is 01:53:49 their phone yeah every he's like has no idea what it is but he wouldn't know what a fat person was he would be like what is this what's happened or it's my genetics he'd think they're all royalty you think everyone around him is royalty because back then he would not no he would not he'd be like a viking barbarian and then like six months later, he's ruling the world. Just one dude from the past? Oh my gosh. All right, let's read this.
Starting point is 01:54:12 We got Derpy Dolphin says, Harry Potter is a libertarian story. What? The entire fifth book is about keeping the government out of schooling. Dumbledore has a militia. The government is incompetent throughout the books. That's true.
Starting point is 01:54:24 Fair enough. Yeah. Jillian Elizabeth says, hi, Tim. Look at OR Oregon HB 3501 right to rest where homeless can't be asked to leave public spaces and can sue for $1,000 if they feel discriminated against. I am so excited for that. I'm going to direct you to Timcast.com. I covered that earlier this week.
Starting point is 01:54:42 So what you're saying is I could go to one of these areas be homeless and sue people for a thousand dollars and they tell me to leave yeah you can they're basically saying you have the right not to be harassed that homeless people have the right to use public spaces the same way anyone else would and that if they have an encampment they're asking them to leave as a form of harassment it looks like i'm done being a journalist y'all i am i'm gonna go do that i really don't think you want to be a part of harassment. It looks like I'm done being a journalist, y'all. I am. I'm going to go do that. I really don't think you want to be a part of that population. Let's read this. We got Bradley Frues has first time super chat. How can you be so strongly 1A and 2A but not support everyone's right to vote? Yes, direct democracy is bad. That's not how our system works. Our system is robust enough to handle an average IQ of 65. What right to vote? Is there a right to vote in the
Starting point is 01:55:23 Constitution? There's not. I don't. Does it say that you have a guaranteed right to vote is there a right to vote in the constitution there's not i'm i don't is does it say that you have a guaranteed right to vote in the constitution anywhere i mean from what i remember i mean i don't think it's quite literally landowners yeah i'm pretty sure it doesn't say you have a right to vote one of the one of the reasons that women so vehemently rejected the right to vote when they were first asked which which was the case right during the suffragette movement most women didn't want to vote the primary reason was because voting was seen as a duty which justified military service and the draft so there was an understanding there was kind of a a give and take well part of the reason the draft was justified was because
Starting point is 01:56:04 men could or i'm sorry yeah part of the reason the draft was justified was because men could or i'm sorry yeah part of the reason the draft was justified is because men could vote in a way well if you can vote then surely you should have to you know give something in the way of military service if necessary that was more or less the the line of argumentation but if there i mean if you had asked people if you'd ask the founders should just everyone be able to vote? No, they would not. Yeah, of course not. All right.
Starting point is 01:56:28 Mr. Red says, did you hear about the newly introduced bipartisan bill to ban Congress people from owning stocks? I did. Matt Gaetz and I think AOC, right? I like that. Bravo to both of them. That is fantastic. You know, I'm not a big AOC fan. I'm a fan of Matt Gaetz. But if they're working together, credit goes where it's due to AOC.
Starting point is 01:56:49 They should not be passing legislation and then buying stocks based on this information. That's just ridiculous. Absolutely wrong. I mean, that should be like common sense at this point. That should be common sense legislation that if you're sitting in Congress and you have the jump on what companies are going to do good at a certain time you probably shouldn't be able to buy stocks or dump stocks hawaiian shirt guy says hi tim just played street fighter 6 demo this year their pro tour has a million dollar prize pool tim cast street fighter team when uh i don't talk to dane we'll have him set it up i mean yeah we should probably uh start doing some sponsorships like that no joke we
Starting point is 01:57:23 should probably uh look into cool things we can do in terms of sponsoring. Make an esports team. Get her done. Or just sponsoring, you know, like we don't need to make the team itself. We find a team and then we become one of the sponsors of it. And so we get Timcast on, you know. The logo on their gaming shirt. Something like that.
Starting point is 01:57:39 You know, something like that is what it is. All right. Ashley Campion says, did you see that new york is going to start charging uh charging people's parking tickets based on their income so if you make a hundred thousand dollars a year you pay 80 bucks more i think that's actually a really good idea i'm actually i'm not in favor of the frivolous ticketing that cops do that's wrong but the idea that a fine for a rich person is the same as a fine for a poor person makes no sense at all because what happens is in chicago when i lived by wrigley field people would illegally park or
Starting point is 01:58:12 double park in front of my house and then block cars in and they just be like that you never almost never get towed you get towed sometimes but you get a 50 to 100 ticket cheaper than parking so yeah people would be parked like in front of the crosswalk. They just park their car there and be like, because they know you can't tow every single car. There are definitely places where you can get like four parking tickets, five parking tickets a month. And that's going to be cheaper than buying a parking spot.
Starting point is 01:58:42 Well, I'll admit to something like whenever you like park in front of the parking meters like if i'm covering a show in dallas like i don't i never pay parking meters like i just pull up park they don't enforce it there's literally no enforcement if there is oh you know my favorite thing is ticket people who there are people in chicago who would put parking tickets in their glove box and keep it and then they would park get out put the parking ticket on the windshield and it works. Brutal. That's smart. The cop would go by
Starting point is 01:59:07 and be like, oh, they already had a ticket and they'd ignore it. That's Chicago. So there are some countries, I was reading about this, where I think it's like Switzerland, your speeding tickets
Starting point is 01:59:16 are based on your income and so that works because if you're a billionaire, it makes more sense and you're like, your speeding ticket's going to be $763,000, you're not going to speed. But if you're rich and the speeding ticket's 50 to be $763,000. You're not going to speed.
Starting point is 01:59:25 But if you're rich and the speeding ticket's 50 bucks, you're going to be like, oh, well, I care. Personally, I don't think speeding should be enforced, honestly. I think a lot of things shouldn't even be enforced. Like, I remember I got, I've been on just like getting pulled over, over, and over again because I moved to a new area in Texas. And it's more like kind of country, but not really. I stopped at a stop sign for two seconds, not three, two seconds pulled no cars. And I get pulled over. Are you serious? Like, is this really happening right now? In my brain, you know, I come from a family law
Starting point is 01:59:55 enforcement. I was like, what are they doing? Why are you enforcing these super small things? Oh, I didn't stop at a stop sign all the way or for long enough. It's like, this is not what your job is supposed to consist of. Your job is supposed to consist of responding to people in danger and helping people instead you're just filling quotas out basically you know what dude if you can't do the time don't do the crime all right miso trash says tim why don't you ever talk about the third amendment we do you clearly don't listen to the show yeah during covid the third amendment which prevents the government from being able to quarter soldiers in your home, was actually about there. Someone was contemplating a third amendment lawsuit because when they put in the eviction moratorium, that meant the government was putting service men and women in homes and saying you couldn't evict them, which violates the third amendment, which is actually really funny.
Starting point is 02:00:41 But, you know, it's funny how serious we took the third amendment. But now it's just completely not an issue. Nolan Boy you know, it's funny how serious we took the Third Amendment, but now it's just completely not an issue. It's like Nolan Void now, basically.
