RFK Jr. is currently polling very, very well as the main rival to Joe Biden on the Democratic primary ticket.
We'll see how that plays out.
He's also polling more favorably in some areas than Donald Trump.
He has told Joe Rogan on the Joe Rogan experience that he is concerned the CIA could assassinate
him.
He has to take these things seriously because of what happened to his uncle.
It's a it's a remarkable conversation that I really want to dive into considering how
well he's doing in the polls, how people really like this guy and the fact that we're now at the point in u.s history where
everyone's basically like yeah jfk was killed by our own government we'll get into that and then
we have our own current president joe biden who uh claimed that people pull up in trucks and cities
and start selling guns in the street and it's just a nonsensical story but more importantly he wrapped
up by saying god God saved the queen.
And where was it?
Connecticut?
I believe so.
In Connecticut?
Amazing.
Well, okay, I guess.
So take your pick, Democrats, I guess.
We're going to get into that.

we got elon yes sir elon elon swirlovich thank you for having me oh not elon musk though sorry
everybody almost almost elon musk minus the 150 billion dollars ah yes yes but uh so who are you
what do you do uh so i'm the ceo of Eggard Watch Company. We're known for putting out some pretty controversial ads
in support of a lot of the things that you talk about.
Absolutely.
And yeah, so that's one of the things.
And I'm also an actor.
By the way, all our films for my company are available on our website,
eggardwatches.com.
We have an Our Films section.
It's worth checking them out.
And actor, different shows.
I was on The Walking Dead.
Cool.
Netflix's Slasher, which is a crazy show.
Deep Water Horizon.
Just a bunch of different shows out there.
Oh, wow.
Right on.
Yeah, you got a lot of attention when you put out a commercial supporting women's sports.
Yes.
Most recently, we put out an ad called Erased where we – it's kind of like a unique buildup.
It's this girl who's trying her whole life to become a track runner,
and she's inspired by her father, and she's the best.
She's really the best.
She says, there's no woman that can beat us.
And then in the final moment, she realizes she's competing against a biological male,
and she has no chance in it.
Then it kind of highlights in sports where this has happened before,
most egregiously with Fallon Fox in MMA.
Very serious.
That was like 10 years ago, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah. Breaking the skull
of Angela Hill, I believe. I can't
remember which writer. So we'll get into all that.
Thanks for hanging out. It should be a blast. We got
Hannah-Claire Brimelow. Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimelow. I'm a
writer for TimCast.com. I'm happy to be back.
Yes, and hello guys.
My name is Brett Dasvik. I'm the host of
Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday, 3pm
Eastern Standard Time, right here on YouTube.
Glad to be here.
And my name is Kellen, filling in for Serge, as usual on Fridays.
I hope we can dive into your Walking Dead stuff.
That's really cool.
I had no idea.
That's really cool.
I want to ask about Slasher.
Brandon J. McLaren, Slasher?
No, it's... What was the director's name?
No, he's an actor in it.
Oh, it's possible because it's anthology, so each season has its own run okay i was the one of the main actors on season three
okay uh i don't know about the other season but yeah if you find out like it's it's got a pretty
tight cast yeah you want to pull the mic up a little bit oh sorry about that yeah no problem
let's uh uh we're all good then right we'll jump into the story let's do it here's a story from
the post-millennial rfk jr tells joe rogan he is concerned the cia might assassinate him you know this is crazy
they say during the interview with joe rogan kennedy said his uncle john f kennedy quote was
at war with his military and intelligence apparatus after he said he wanted to take the cia
and shatter it into a thousand pieces and also scatter it into the wind he uh who he said had
lied to get him to invade Cuba.
Kennedy discussed his uncle's refusal to send soldiers into Vietnam
at the military industrial complex's request.
He noted that JFK was killed a month after ordering all troops out of Vietnam
when he determined that 75 Americans who were killed in the country were too many.
Quote, he believed that the view of Americans abroad should not be,
you know, a soldier with a gun.
It should be a Peace Corps volunteer building, you know, a soldier with a gun.
It should be a Peace Corps volunteer building.
You know, Wells, Kennedy said. It should be USAID helping poor people.
And it should be the Alliance for Progress building middle class.
And that's what he did.
And he started the Kennedy Milk Program to, you know, give nutrition to the poor kids all over the world.
As a result of that, in Africa today, there's more statues to John Kennedy, more boulevards named after named after more hospitals, schools, universities, avenues and all the major cities named after him than any other president.
The podcast host asked him, what do you think happens when you get an office?
Like if you're talking about your uncle who was assassinated and you believe the intelligence agencies were part of that, what happens you and he replies i gotta be careful and i'm aware of that and i you know i'm aware of
that of that danger canady responded i don't live in fear of it you know at all but i'm not stupid
about it and i take precautions did you think at any point in your lives we would get to the point
where we would be sitting on a show like this and be like two very prominent individuals one who's polling highly for the next presidential
election would outright say that the intelligence agencies killed a sitting president also his uncle
you know like uh 10 years ago i would have said this is an impossibility and the sad reality is
that right now i'm sitting here and it's almost like there's no response to it whatsoever. It's almost become unexpected kind of thing where the most extreme possible thing plays out.
I know people who were completely shocked he even entered the race for this reason.
They were like, there's no way.
There's too much of a target on him, which I also find to be kind of interesting.
Like he says, he's interested in it.
He's aware of it.
He's not going to live in in fear but he is aware that
coming out with these accusations and then seeking the presidency is uh maybe not in his best in in
his in his personal interest yeah it definitely puts us wasn't wasn't there movement on the warren
commission like 10 years ago too there was like a an unveiling of documents around this time 10
years ago or something like that stuff like that like every so often remember we were talking about
last time like every time jo time Joe Biden screws something up,
you just release a couple of documents
and just let stuff out.
It'll be great.
Also, you should worry too,
because there's a lot of streets
named after Martin Luther King.
And a lot of people believe
that the government had a hand in that as well.
Yep.
A lot of people.
I don't think they do it so much anymore.
I'm actually not super worried
about RFK Jr. getting assassinated.
I mean, I think it's a possibility.
I think the powers that be have it within them. might be something like uh you're going for a burger and you get
mugged yeah oh too bad but uh typically i think they go with character assassination because i
want to make sure your message can't persist well it's far more effective i mean if you want to take
someone out nowadays you take them out by just erasing the person they are just creating an
entire villain around them and they're more effective at that. I mean, you don't want to have a martyr.
Yeah. I remember that the mainstream media will not acknowledge that he is a serious contender for the Democratic nomination.
They refer to him consistently as a fringe candidate.
And then they immediately bring up his theoretical stance as an anti-vaxxer.
Right. Like they use that to to tear him down as much as possible.
In doing so.
They don't realize that he has broad appeal.
They will not acknowledge that he actually has an interesting shot.
He plays an interesting role in politics right now because I think they are afraid of him.
The best thing for America's left to do right now is try to get him to stop talking as fast as possible.
You know, it's super interesting about the vaccine thing is they don't realize how many people in their own party are actually on board with his message well his his polling is i think
he's rivaling is he is he beat i think he's beating joe biden in favorability that is i think the
things that he's saying are lighting up regular people who don't like joe biden don't like what
the democratic party's become and they don't like don Trump. I think there are a lot of people who voted
for Trump. I'm sorry,
voted for Biden against Trump.
I think, you know, that was why I really
believe no one voted for Biden.
They voted against Trump. Exactly.
And now that RFK comes along, they're like,
don't know, don't care. He's a Kennedy. Sure, fine, whatever.
Yougov says that RFK
has higher favorability than any other
presidential candidate running in 2024 49 it is true that there is almost no appeal for joe biden because like like we cover
pop culture and i've seen several celebrities who are just like james vanderbeek was like we have to
at least have the discussion that other candidates are a possibility uh um arnie uh the governator
recently was saying that he wishes he could run,
given that he's not a naturalized American. He wasn't born in America because he says that there's,
there's nobody right now that can unite everyone,
which is tacitly admitting that they're not uniting anyone right now.
And these are mainstream celebrities who would normally fall in line for
leftist or Democrat policies.
I don't think uniting everyone's a realistic goal, right?
You're asking everyone to compromise.
I mean, this guy became the governor as a Republican
in California, so anything's possible.
That used to be a thing, though. I mean, there used to be
a Democrat. There used to
be a Republican strong in Orange County, right?
Like, that was a different time. We are
so used to seeing America through a
modern lens that we forget. I mean, we're
in West Virginia. West Virginia used to vote
consistently Democratic. The parties shift the same way that the parties're in West Virginia. West Virginia used to vote consistently Democratic.
The parties shift the same way
that the parties shift in ideology
and they have drifted to the left.
The voters shift to to stick
with their core beliefs.
Yeah, I believe at this point
that kind of unity is just impossible.
And I don't think anyone
deep down believes it.
What if we get this
magical unicorn scenario?
RFK runs in the primary.
Biden wins.

RFK says I'm not leaving.
Trump wins. And then Trump says RFK says, I'm not leaving. Trump wins.
And then Trump says,
RFK Jr., run with me.
Let's unite what we're working on together for the American people.
What happens if it comes
Trump, RFK Jr., single ticket?
A Trump-Kennedy ticket?
That is a power play.
I mean, I've seen a lot of speculation
that he'll, RFK Jr. will run as a third party,
which will basically have a Ross Perot effect
and hemorrhage voters away from Joe Biden. I mean, RFK is a real problem for the
Democrats. And, you know, he just has to be not enough of a threat to the Republicans to hemorrhage
moderate voters who lean in both directions. Yeah. If he runs as an independent, he's definitely
going to cause a major impact for the Democratic Party. He's going to unintentionally or intentionally sabotage them completely.
Yeah.
I think presidential debates are somewhat useless, right?
Like we do get some fun soundbites when Donald Trump's on the stage, but they don't really
tell us anything.
But I would love to see Kennedy debate Trump or Biden or literally anyone because I think
he is sort of this breath of fresh air.
I think there are, you know, not enough people who are in his position because the Democratic
Party has drifted so far to the left.
They only field extremist candidates.
Yeah.
And he's one of those people who will say whatever he truly believes, which is very
dangerous for them.
I mean, they really do need, like you said, people to fall in line.
He's not that he's a kind of, you know, the Tulsi Gabbard.
Remember what happened with her?
The second you start speaking your mind, you're a threat to them.
Yeah.
Even if you're in their party.
I had a story where I was like after the debates and I was talking about during the day, you
know, during the primaries, during the election.
And I was like talking to a friend of mine who just really, really hates Donald Trump,
really hates Donald Trump.
And I was like, oh yeah, I really liked the stuff that Tulsi Gabbard was saying is that
Donald Trump is an existential threat to America.
I'm like that, what?
That has nothing to do with what the hell we're talking about right now because they'd already cast her
off as somebody who is a fringe candidate with these crazy beliefs and he just kind of lumps
all those people in together whether democrat republican if they don't fall in line for what
at that time would have been you know your uh your Democrat policies, which have gone even further left since then.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I mean, I always talk about
how there's new normals created all the time.
And so you look every two to three years.
Now, it used to be the concept of like a new normal
would probably take decades for them to happen.
And now you look on key issues
that people used to vote on.
They're just becoming more extreme about those issues
to the point where we're so polarized
that there's no form of rationale anymore in it where like if i would have told you
you know five ten years ago we're going to put biological males in prison with women who have
a history of sexually assaulting women you would say the entire country would be out protesting on
the street i gotta ask are you do you face any kind of backlash career-wise for bringing these
subjects up absolutely what i mean what's that been like?
Some of them I don't even know if I should talk about from a legal perspective.
I will say this.
We used to have a lot of celebrities who supported our brand, especially after this last Erased ad that we did, the one with the transgender athlete beating the woman.
We got a lot of complaints from people saying you're a transphobic company you're
spreading hate speech do the celebrities who wear your watches know that you believe these things
and then all of a sudden i started getting uh some emails from people that represent these
celebrities wow threatening do you answer back i'm a pro-woman company like i i think women are
great and they should compete in sports you know like the so the to the people who send the emails i i actually invite them on uh our company podcast
to talk to us and they never accept they just tell me to go kill myself wow to the to the legal
aspect of things i do my best to avoid a lawsuit because like the womanhood bracelet that we were
selling uh we're going to donate a percentage of that to charities
that support the things that we believe in. It becomes very hard if I'm having to fight legal
battles. And that's kind of how they win. They try and destroy you in that way. So I'm just
sticking to my guns. I play nice where I have to play nice. And when I believe that it's time to
fight back, I do. But I want to fight back with a cultural change. And I do that through these
videos because we had, I'll be honest with you, during this last video we put out, I got a lot of people who even have trans kids saying the current message for the LGBTQ community is hurting my child.
People are starting to hate my child because it's becoming too extreme.
Yeah.
We had a friend of the show, Daniel Turner, on the other day talking about, you know, he's a gay married man.
And he was saying the activists are making it hard and embarrassing for him.
He was saying that his husband said, you know, it used to be 10 years ago, you just mind
your own business and people leave you alone.
But now that's going on, they're actually embarrassed to mention that they're gay married.
That's what the activists have made.
They push it to the extreme.
It's like a weird shift where all they were fighting for originally was the right to live
their lives the way they wanted.
And now the movement's become so extreme
that it's forcing everyone else to kind of celebrate
and be involved and accept everything
to the point where it's damaging them
and it's damaging the way they wanted to live their lives.
And I don't know how many of them are aware
of just how much damage it's caused
because I used to be, in full transparency,
a person who would go walk for the pride parade.
You know, i just believed in
the notion of anyone who wants to be married should be able to be married and over the years
because of how extreme it's gone i'm like i won't support a group that is twerking in front of kids
in you know you know thongs it just started to gross me out i'm like this is not appropriate
and then i'm called transphobic or homophobic for that or the other one that they get the one that
i've gotten a lot because i've been talking to a lot of my friends lately.
I've kind of reestablished contact with friends
that just I haven't talked to in a long time.
And the number one sentiment that they have
when you tell them these stories
and you show them these things are going on
is that it's not as big of a deal
as you're making it out to be,
that it's not really,
like maybe it's happening,
but it's happening once in a while.
But that's because they're not privy to the information
because the media doesn't report on it that way. The media focuses on what they want to focus on,
which is going to be anything but that. So when you bring it up, you're like, look, I don't want,
you know, I'm, we're from the generation I'm, I'm 36. So right in the heart of when
gay marriage is legalized, a lot of our generation was like, yes, it's absolutely
a right for these people. Like, I don't, I don't care what you do in the bedroom.
I've never cared. And I imagine that a lot of people our age,
especially if you're someone like me who grew up in a liberal area, like you, you just, you didn't care. Right. And now you see it and you're just, first of all, you're not allowed to not care.
You're forced to care about all of these things. And a lot of it is just that how far do you push
it before you say, that's not what this
is about anymore.
This is clearly grown to be something.
James Lindsay talks about this a lot about how it's morphed.
And it's a lot of it is it's Marxism.
And it's a lot of other political influences that have latched on to causes that preyed
upon your desire to be a decent person, your desire to be accepting.
And they're very nefarious and they're doing it on purpose.
I think there's something so interesting about the idea of the things that are under attack
have to do with absolute truth or objective reality, and that those are the first things
to come under attack.
As you're talking about Marxism, the first thing they have to do is destroy your belief
in something greater than yourself.
If you have a belief in God.
And they did that that long time ago hollywood in these industries long since decoupled people from the concept of religion in this
country it's the fundamental binary that now exists that is at war and when people say there's
a spiritual battle i'm someone who grew up without any true form of connection to religion and in
recent years because of everything i see i realize it's the glue that will hold
things together because i have to have a reason why i believe in some kind of absolute ethic
why the denial of basic realities is wrong because if i don't have that i have nothing
and i realize that that ideology has permeated so strongly on the left that the only road that
you are left with is nihilism which is why these people are seeking such identity in this
they're gripping onto this as their mode to value.
Yeah, get complete validation from it.
I mean, that's the saddest part of all of it.
It's very broken people looking to gain authority and gain sympathy and gain value through other
people's approval and being able to show that they're compliant to this ideology, right?
I mean, that is the biggest thing I think religion provides a lot of people. Of course, there are
institutions that are, you know, not great. But generally, if you have a common sense of morality
and structure, you're not seeking the approval of everyone around you because you have higher
value than that. And I think that takes it away from being about yourself. Because right now,
I feel like we've cultivated this incredibly self-centered generation,
right?
We talk about rampant narcissism, especially in social media.
We see people are constantly looking for validation and they want you to be talking about themselves.
They are thinking about themselves more than anything else.
And when we had stronger communities through religion, we thought about other people.
We thought about how we could contribute to that.
And I think that's so powerful.
I think that we don't have enough of that.
And I am sad for the people that grew up thinking,
I have to be constantly thinking about my own identity
above all else, because that's a very hollow existence.
You can't identify with a character in a movie
unless that character looks exactly like you now.
So you're-
You have to be that character.
You have to literally be that character.
How would you possibly relate to their story at all?
Well, that's the funny thing is they're simultaneously saying this actor can't portray this character because they're not the character.
And then at the same time being like, but this character is completely different.
Can.
It's seemingly arbitrary.
And this is what I think shows leftist ideology is typically about just gaining power and destroying systems.
That'll be in
Scarlett Johansson
can't play a trans character
because she's not trans,
but a black woman
can play Marie Antoinette
or who did they play?
She played Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn, there you go.
Can play Anne Boleyn
because who cares anyway?
And it's like,
some identities are okay
to destroy
and other ones are not.
Well, because that's
totally hip.
But my attitude would be like,
pick one and stick with it.
I don't,
if you say that nobody can do it, then okay, fine.
If you say everyone can do it, then okay, fine.
But you can't have both.
But there's a hierarchy.
The entire point is that it's hypocritical.
The entire point is that they can hold up four fingers and tell you, you see five.
They have to destroy your ability to, to think freely.
And by the way, the whole notion that you can't play a trans.
Okay.
So I was on a TV show.
I played a bisexual guy on the show, like on that show Slasher.
And interestingly enough, one of my castmates released an article after the show saying people who aren't LGBTQ should not play characters who are LGBTQ.
Did this cast member talk to you about this before they released the article?
This cast member did not acknowledge me much on set, to be honest.
And so it was very interesting but
my response to that was number one how do you know what i am now you're putting me in a position to
announce if i'm closeted if i don't if i have parents who wouldn't accept that now i have to
announce to the world to be accepted in your view that i am lgbtq so that is no longer a personal
preference you're now forcing me to come out with it. Another thing you're doing is, how
are casting directors going to put...
What do you want them to do? You want them to ask you if you're
gay? You know they ask me my
ethnicity now? I'm half Iraqi.
So anytime I'm asked my ethnicity,
I say I'm Iraqi.
Right now,
the casting directors have more power
in Hollywood than just about any other...
Outside of your HR departments.
Like that is the most important department to most of the people in that
industry.
And what's funny is you mentioned playing a role that was bisexual.
I think when I was looking at the data,
24% of Hollywood of people who work in Hollywood identify as LGBTQ plus.
So they're already highly overrepresented amongst their population,
you know, within the industry. And they have rules that go into effect about, you know,
demographics that have to be hired in certain departments in these things.
More than you know.
And it's all identity based because they're obsessed with it because it is a narcissistic
culture that is extremely self-hating. The funniest thing you mentioned about that earlier
is if you ever notice it even comes in with climate with climate activists there's a lot
of really really bad nihilism there because they're like the world's coming to an end
why do we care anyways that's the worst type of propaganda that i see it's the stuff that's saying
like one thing that i see a lot of now and it's honestly scary to see as many posts about it's
people say i didn't ask to be born i hate when that's insane i get so annoyed but again
you know what that comes from that comes from the denial of the notion that you are special by nature
of existing that you take that away from people they can get to that place where it's like there's
this level of entitlement where i didn't even ask to be here so i can do whatever i want i don't
know anyone anything and if there's no faith in a higher power, then what the hell do you do?
Yeah.
Like there's nothing to latch on to.
And I'll be honest with you.
I've been there.
I've been a very nihilistic person.
I've suffered with depression my whole life.
I think one of the saving graces a person can have is finding spiritual aspects to live by.
And just understanding that they are, are again just by nature of existing by
nature of being a human being that you have value and if you can connect to that it can save your
life it's a very powerful thing purpose purpose and this is why it's one of the components of
wokeness not the absolute but for a lot of people they're desperate they don't know why they're here
and so give them a reason and they'll latch on to it in desperation no connection to their families this is the idea of community right they're saying you should be nice to our
community and we're welcoming you to our community and chosen family and this that and the other
they're saying we're giving you something to be a part of because you feel so adrift out there like
that's creepy that's disgusting especially because most of these people have families right yes it's
the denial of the things that you have to join this effective cult. And there's about 30 years of Hollywood or more pushing the idea of chosen family over your actual family because they I used to believe on my good days when I was less cynical, I would say it was just interesting storytelling, meaning that it's very interesting for Disney to tell you a story where one parent has been deceased because it makes for interesting characters right but the more you learn about hollywood the more you learn about how bad these
industries are you have to wonder if it's not at least in some way shape or form social engineering
that has evolved over time so i i mean i am certain at this i used to believe that kind of the
happenstance of moral relativism was just this kind of unfortunate result that the
second you have any amount of moral relativism, you have an absolute denial of objective truth
or absolute truth that there's some kind of higher ethical standard. But now I believe it's truly
insidious and it is social engineering. And I know this because we can prove it. We can look at this
Oscar winner who just came out and said i have three kids one
of them is is trans one of them is non-binary and the other one's gay that is statistically
impossible you can go play the lottery that's your chances of having three kids in a row that
are all non-binary unless you socially engineer it megan fox angelina jolie charlize theron it's
the women i'm telling you well you know fair know, fair point. They're the women. Dude, then where's Brad Pitt?
But hold on.
I will say this.
Yes, most likely, you know, I think it was Bill Maher who asked,
why is it that in Ohio we don't see this, but in California we do?
It's something we must be doing.
And I think we shouldn't downplay Plastics and Endocrine Disruptors.
I think we should absolutely focus on that.
Shout out to Alex Jones, who has that famous clip where he had to turn the frogs gay.
RFK Jr. actually has a similar clip where he mentions that when you put atrazine in the water with frogs, the frogs begin to change.
Yeah.
So the thing with atrazine, though, from what I understood about it is it actually causes physiological changes like higher rates of micropenis and all types of stuff like that.
Are we seeing that in the human population?
Well, I'm just saying, I think we should not ignore that perhaps in California, you have these people who,
I think it's very likely to be social, very likely.
But I do think there's a strong possibility
that over the past couple of decades,
you've had women ingesting all of their food
wrapped in plastic. We all have been, but women are eating everything. And this is relatively new in the past couple of decades you've had women ingesting all of their food wrapped in plastic we all have
been but you know women are eating everything and this is this is relatively new in the past
couple of generations go to an antique shop and everything i it's crazy i went to an antique store
and they had like a orange knee high or something metal can yeah that's nuts thick metal can to
drink a soda and now you have women who are ingesting all this plastic while they're pregnant
the plastic goes into the womb and it negatively impacts the child.
I'm wondering if we could be looking at something on an asbestos, a DDT level scale where it's praised and championed and used everywhere and everything and then cause massive negative.
There's a massive, massive, massive negative outcome. And now we know, we've seen all these stories in the news about how plastics, leach, phthalates, PCBs, et cetera,
and their endocrine disruptors.
Do we just ignore that we have these stories
saying this thing is happening
and then we just don't acknowledge?
I mean, like we need to get off that stuff.
There's absolutely a connection
between health across the board
and development across the board and what we're eating.
I mean, the rate of people with autoimmune diseases, I have two autoimmune diseases, three technically.
And this is unheard of historically.
And you're seeing rates of lupus, which was historically an extremely rare, rare, rare autoimmune disease.
To the point where it was a joke on like house.
Lupus.
You got lupus.
It's never lupus. You keep on like house house lupus you got lupus it's never lupus
you keep your drugs
in a lupus textbook
but now
now you are seeing
legitimately lupus
pop up in many places
I mean Selena Gomez
has it doesn't she
yeah she does
and it's
that's crazy
she's young
and since they're
bringing house back
they should actually
incorporate that
into the storyline
well there
there's an article
in giant robot
in giant freaking robot
about how they want that Hulu is going to be bringing it back for a limited run i don't know if that's
possible i don't know if you can tell those jokes now um it's gonna be a whole other kind of i i
invite everyone to go re-watch it with modern sensibilities i just want to see greg house
talking to someone who identifies seriously a different gender. Well, watch the episode where he has the 16-year-old
hermaphroditic. I have seen that one. Yes.
That is an incredible
episode. But
what were we talking about?
Endocrine disruptors? I mean, I think it's true.
I think it's a lot
of stuff. Like, I am always
I always
point out to all my friends, like, you should consider getting
off birth control, right? Because birth control is designed to disrupt women's hormones. So that's also true
of plastic. That's true of a lot of things that we celebrate, we get excited about,
but we ultimately find out later, maybe we shouldn't have as much of this. We are a society
that when we have an innovation, we tend to be like, it's great, use it everywhere. And then
later, decades later, we're like, oh, perhaps not everywhere and then later decades later we're like oh perhaps
not but there are some things we're not allowed to question so again for me the big one that i
always say to women is birth control you should question birth control i know for some people
it's a good thing and it can be helpful but generally long-term birth control use is uh
there's a study that's out right now it just got published by cambridge university press uh women
who start birth control under the age of 20, so as teenagers, are 130% more likely
to develop depression than women who do not. And then all women who start birth control have
higher rates of depression than women who do not. What do we hear about people all the time? I'm
lonely. I'm depressed. I'm having trouble connecting with people. Well, maybe we should
question what we're putting into our bodies. And I'm happy for that to be food. I'm happy for that
to be environmental. But again, I think we have to talk about the biggest change to women's life, which is that
65% of women in America are on some form of birth control, typically oral contraceptive.
And you couple that with social media and how depressing, you know, how depressed people
are becoming because of social media.
It's a perfect storm.
It might not just be a singular aspect.
It might be a bunch of factors coming into play at once.
I mean, for sure what you eat, for sure what you drink, for sure what you see on TV, for sure what you absorb through your phone, what you're shown in your interactions on the street.
It's a perfect storm.
Yeah, they have a long-term effect on you.
Each one is happening now in conjunction, which is probably why we're seeing
the escalation of things so quickly.
Because it's not a singular factor,
which in itself might've taken decades, right?
We're seeing tons of things together hit you.
And that's why, you know,
you might be seeing the changes you're talking about
that might've taken 50 years
of long-term atrazine exposure happening over 10 years
because there's the social engineering aspect.
There's- We also know that, I read this study, I think we talked about it on the show,
there is a birth control that women had taken and they could still get pregnant while on it.
And if they did, they had a masculinized female baby that I think they said every one of them
turned out to be lesbians. So I think this stuff is deeply altering our physiology, but it's not
just the plastics or whatever.
I mean, the chemicals in our food in general,
words you can't even pronounce.
So we do a lot here to get away from that stuff.
We have those epic meat bars, those protein bars.
Yeah, they're good.
The ingredient is like pork, salt, pepper, amazing.
Beef, salt, pepper, venison.
And we have this here, we have these glass bottles
that we put filtered water in, remineralized.
But I think it's also big pharma, these drugs.
So I have experience with big pharma.
I have Crohn's disease.
I also have a genetic defect, which causes my cholesterol to be like ridiculously high.
And oddly enough, I just did a heart scan and I don't have evidence of arthrosclerosis,
which contradicts all the knowledge we know about high cholesterol.
And so there's a big shift happening in medicine. A lot of my doctors are like,
hey, let's maybe pull you off, not give you tons of biologics. Luckily, I have good doctors,
and they're like, let's try the AIP diet, the anti-inflammatory diet, and get you on clean
meats that are not processed in any way, shape, or form, keep you away from certain vegetables
that you're not able to tolerate right now don't eat anything processed don't eat refined
sugar keeping me on a strict diet and i'm seeing way better results than that but i got on a
medication called rapatha uh and i'm not going to bash this medication it lowered my cholesterol
tremendously but i ended up and like this is incredibly rare and it shouldn't happen on this
medication at all in the hospital with rhabdo rhabdo is what you see like crossfit athletes get when they're dehydrated and overworked
your muscle is dying and it leaks into your body and it can kill you it can clog your kidneys
and uh and so they denied that there's any correlation between their medication developing
rhabdo i've been a competitive athlete my whole life for fighting. I have never developed this.
I didn't even do a hard workout this time. I developed it two days after the injection.
Can I say it's from that? No, I would never say it's absolutely from that. But again,
we don't know what we're putting into our body half the time. And the pharmaceutical companies
are not out for our best interest all the time. And they benefit it. We're talking about a
potential increase in autoimmune disease and And autoimmune disease is chronic.
Who benefits from when you're chronically sick?
Big Pharma.
They need you as customers forever.
It's hard to say because I don't want to assume the worst in everyone.
But if you're in the pharmaceutical industry, curing patients is actually not in your best interest.
Chronic illness is a godsend for Big Pharma.
Chronic illness is the best.
It beats everything else because you have it for your whole life.
And a lot of them don't necessarily lower your lifespan that much they just make it very very difficult to live with it do you think that um maybe some of the things you're experiencing
are caused by the pharmaceuticals or by one million diet i one million percent diet one
million percent diet in my life has affected me i think there's environmental factors that have
affected me i think people don't realize the effects of i've traveled a lot of my life has affected me. I think there's environmental factors that have affected me. I think people don't realize the effects of, I've traveled a lot of my life and I've lived in like
different places. I've lived in places with mold for sure, black mold, other things like that.
And I'm sure that's had an effect. Certain stressors in life can cause an effect. Again,
if you're, I think, like I said earlier, I've suffered from depression and just states of
nihilism. I didn't believe in something bigger than myself. I'm sure that living in a negative state had an impact on my health as well.
A lot of people don't acknowledge the effects that stress, depression,
all these things have on your health.
The mind-body connection was largely ignored by doctors
until very recently where they said,
no, the mind really does have an impact on your body.
We do have to take these things more seriously.
Long-term anxiety does increase your risk of certain complications in life like heart disease and
things like that so um i think that luckily there's a shift happening for good doctors but i
also saw during the the whole vaccine thing how many crazy doctors marching with uh with all the
protesters you know during the blm well i think we bring this up yesterday that the colorado sun
there are other outlets that said the blm protests actually reduced the spread of covid yes of course
you had a video out of new york where the doctors are standing outside waving and cheering for all
the people marching in the street there were doctors saying like this is a worthy cause so
it's worth doing you're saying i can't go to work but this can happen but then when people were like
it may be a worthy cause but you're causing us harm they't go to work, but this can happen? But then when people were like, it may be a worthy cause,
but you're causing us harm, they went, actually,
it looks like these are reducing the spread of COVID.
This is the scariest thing in the world to me,
that people can accept such ludicrous positions.
I remember when this happened.
I remember I spoke to my dad when the doctors were out protesting
with the BLM rioters.
And my dad said, look, the truth is people will see.
The numbers will go up and they'll acknowledge
that these people are wrong.
It won't matter because they won't report the numbers going up.
And it won't matter.
They do.
They'll make a reason.
They'll give it another reason.
It's,
it's,
it was a Trump rally that super spread it.
You know what you said earlier that actually made me,
that makes me a little bit upset.
You said these people are just omitted certain information.
And I agree they are,
but on a,
on another level, when I talk to people that I've known for years, and I tell them, hey, this is what's going on at some of these drag shows that you think kids should go to.
Here's pictures and video.
They go, it doesn't matter.
That's not most of them.
That's just that one.
They will rationalize anything at this point.
It's not a matter of lacking information. It's a matter of your entire
identity being wrapped around this singular ideology. And that if anyone challenges it,
you will always find a way to rationalize why they are wrong and it's okay.
Another one. Remember when Trump left office and the death counters magically went away on all the
news sites? It's just evil. They're just evil evil the death counters that were never accurate i mean
there were all sorts of like very subtly slipped out corrections after the fact i remember uh some
city in massachusetts was like oh we have to reduce our number by like several thousand and
one of the examples was someone died uh while they had covid but in a car accident yeah and
so it was sort of like i see so you So you're padding your numbers here, team.
Like, it didn't make any sense.
There was financial benefits to that too, right?
Sure, sure, sure.
Like they had to do with subsidies.
But what I'm saying is they would present this information.
There's always an appeal to authority.
Look at our data and look at these statistics.
But all of it is misrepresented and wrong.
And so you can never create a culture that fully, at least for a lot of people, you grow an intense amount of skepticism.
They can never trust any of these institutions.
But personally, I feel like it's good.
You should question these things.
On the other hand, when we need reliable information to make informed decisions, it's not out there.
Yeah, you have two options now.
You're either misinformed or uninformed.
Yeah.
And that's a scary place to be, especially with things that involve your safety and health.
And we've done something that's so dangerous just on another deep kind of social level,
which is we've taken the historical virtues
that have made societies great,
like courage, strength,
being able to stand up in the face of adversity.
And we've altered them completely
and put things like security, you know,
don't be scared, agreeableness.
Those are now our highest virtues.
Those are the antithesis of virtues.
They're not just the denial of the other virtues.
They are the opposite of them.
And so, I mean, that's just a whole other problem in itself.
Is that part of a society becoming more feminized?
Agreeableness being women being considered higher on the agreeable scale
in all of those other things that you're talking about,
whether we're talking about courage,
have some aspect of conflict behind it a lot of the time, right?
Being willing to stand up for yourself, being willing to say, no, I'm not going to accept
this garbage story you're telling me.
I just wonder if that plays at least some role in it, in the fact that a lot of it now
is appeal to authority, right?
Like you don't want to be the conspiracy theorist, right?
I was told that it's bad
to do your own research. I was told that
by a very reliable source
at this mainstream network, that doing your
own research is a sign of white supremacy
or something. I don't know. But they
were saying that, right? They were saying you should, like, now
is the time. There was articles in, like, Salon
that were saying, now is the time to not
do your own research. Yeah, don't critically think
the New York Times said. It's bad. Well, you know what's the historical uh standard for when a society is about to collapse
and their statues and all that stuff they become more feminized statues are coming down uh credit
crunch widespread military conflict it really does feel a lot like rome but we can only read about
rome we didn't experience it so you don't know. We've got Wi-Fi now.
Are we in an age of debauchery?
Don't research it, though.
Debauchery?
How do you say that word?
Debauchery?
Yeah.
I mean, then and some.
Well, we're in extremely...
The seven deadly sins
are well pronounced.
And they're virtuous.
It's virtuous now
to go and be prideful
in all of these things.
And it really does feel
like our society is doing that,
like we're falling apart.
But speaking of that, I gotta pull up the story i have to pull up the story we have this
tweet from yingling brewery i have to because we talked about the music cafe presented by yingling
having an all ages drag show allowed babies and we're big fans of yingling and so we were
concerned we were like say it ain't so so you're not sponsoring a drag show that allows babies
well yingling has responded.
They said, Yingling has been a supporter of ArtsQuest for many years, along with over 300 local community supporters.
We're proud to be a part of their efforts to revitalize an industrial neighborhood in Bethlehem, PA.
Through our ArtsQuest sponsorship, we have naming rights to the Music Fest Cafe presented by Yingling Venue.
ArtsQuest independently plans the events and policies that take place at this venue and all of their other performance areas. Thank you. We support their decision to restrict attendance to 18 plus for the June 30th show.
For more information, contact info at artsquest.org.
That, my friends, is how you handle it.
I do not care about a drag show at all.
I am concerned that the slippery slope persists as such, that we got to the point where they're like let's have a you know gay burlesque shows but allow children and babies and even if yingling didn't know the event was
happening they put their name on this so yingling what do they do i would i would make this
assumption this is what it seems to me it seems like yingling seeing the response reached out to
them and said guys it's got to be adults only and got them to do it and that is exactly what
should have happened i'm i remarkably, I'm massively impressed.
I'm going to go buy more Yingling.
This was fantastic.
Just keep it for adults.
Absolutely.
This was an intense.
Such a common sense thing also.
Yeah.
So easy.
Hey, you're an alcohol pavilion.
So it's 21 up.
Let's just call it a day.
Like this was an enormous relief to me
because Yingling is the only beer I know to order at bars
because they're vaguely conservative and I know how to say their name.
I thought, although someone yesterday told me it was Youngling.
I don't know about that.
The bartenders always call me Yingling.
Yeah, I don't believe it.
But I think this is a nice statement, partially because it's so calm.
Like we don't need to make a big statement in either direction.
We say this is alcohol.
It's inappropriate.
Leave it at that. And again i i feel similarly to tim i don't care what you're doing you know in appropriately
set age groups right i don't think children should be at at direct shows but if you want to
have direct show at a bar that's fine it shouldn't be harder for an 18 year old to get into a bar
than to get or like a 17 year old to get into a bar than to get into a drag show right like it is weird to me that we would suddenly
take away this line but of course we saw it happening with all of these uh drag queen story
hours there became this idea that in some way this culture was acceptable to have in a family
setting when we ultimately all know it's not And I don't understand why this is the hill
that this movement is dying on.
If they can win it.
Sorry, go ahead.
There was a story today.
Yingling.
There was a story today
in which Warner Brothers Discovery sponsors Outfest,
which is a gay film festival.
And they're having what's called
Celebration of Queer queer children which will include
story hour and i and i asked the question i said why is it that every time disney hosts one of
these things or disney throws their hat in the ring and this everyone goes up in arms but did
you know that warner brothers discovery has a higher esg score than disney why is it that people
don't care as much when warner brothers discovery it? But that's because a lot of people
think it's because Disney is specifically
geared towards kids.
So it feels more predatory.
And I'm going to say, I don't think anyone could tell
you what Warner Brothers does.
Disney is so much more commercial.
It's much easier to attack as a target.
It's not okay that Warner Brothers does it.
It's just easier to identify.
This is a whole event and they're going to have a whole section that's dedicated to queer children to
celebrating queer children to sexualizing children because that's what the end goal is well because
if you think about it if they again if they'll go after the most extreme thing because if they can
get you to be okay with that what could they not get you to be okay with i think that that's the
next step i always said it like people used to call me crazy i'm like the first thing you know about someone if
their body washes up on a beach is their biological sex it's undeniable no there was an age the
article recently where an archaeologist said it's not good science i know did you see that i saw that
which is absolutely crazy so how how far-fetched is it to believe that the next thing they say is,
well, age is totally self-identifiable too. It's actually far more subjective.
Like there's 18-year-olds who act 25. There's 25-year-olds who act 18 on a much more obvious level than you changing your biological sex. There was a guy who tried to legally change his
age and they told him no. It's coming though. to go back to we should be pushing a culture that isn't obsessed with looking at the self all the time
right like if your kid you think maybe gay whatever how about you ask them how are your math
scores how about you ask them what their hobbies are how about you ask them literally anything else
instead of obsessing about who they may or may may or may not want to sleep with when they become consenting adults.
Like, it's just bizarre to me that parents feel the need to become weirdly involved in their children's sexuality when they are minors.
Or teachers involved in their teen.
That's weirder.
This is the offals.
This is the affluent white female liberals.
Well, you know what it's become?
It's become just the, it started off with the slow obsession over identity politics.
This is just an end result of hierarchical identity politics.
If that's where your hierarchies in society are generated from, because we're going to have hierarchies no matter what, you're going to have a problem.
And again, my buddy told me something interesting one time when I was on this pathway to searching for religion.
He said humans are designed to worship. They're always going to worship something. If they're not going
to worship something bigger than themselves, they're going to worship their job. They're
going to worship their, you know, alcohol, sex, whatever that thing is. And right now we have a
society that is completely worshiping the very thing you're talking about, identity. And so we
have an absolute religion around transgenderism right now. Not even,
not even LGB.
It's T.
We have a religion around the T.
Cause we've completely erased a lot of lesbians because now if you're a
lesbian,
you're just friends.
Ask Johns Hopkins University.
Yeah.
Did you see JK Rowling trolling them over the,
the.
They,
they,
they disavowed it.
They said they didn't mean to do anything wrong.
Sure.
What happened there?
I didn't hear.
Johns Hopkins University had a glossary of like different terms for sexuality and gender.
And it said a lesbian was a non-man who loves other non-men.
A non-man attracted to non-men.
Attracted to.
I always say loved.
And that's really important.
Yeah.
Because magnets are attracted to each other and they're not men.
They're lesbians.
Right.
But they left the term men in the definition of gay and so you're just erasing lesbians yes
you are not erasing gay men and jk rowling you know was like i think we should all talk about
this just the patriarchy reasserting itself i have to wonder and now you see the story about
way to do it though it is so weird how they made embryos using stem cells. Just recently. Yeah. Like a day or two ago. So I'm kind of like, look, if they can make embryos using stem cells and they can grow
farm animals in plastic bags, how far away are we from humans just no longer giving birth?
Yeah.
And they just say from now on, like, really do think there there is a potential future if we
lose this culture war where there's going to be like two you know 35 year old women and one's
going to be like no tell me you're you're not serious unnatural birth you are going to destroy
your body that's already happening c-sections are on the rise in the u.s but i mean not even that
they're going to be like use it use a pseudowomb. No, that's what I mean.
Do a test tube, baby.
I'm arguing to your point.
I think we are moving in that direction already.
They are saying you should not have a natural birth.
You should always have.
There's always reasons that doctors are pushing for C-sections these days, whether it be risk,
whether it be, oh, well, you know, there might be this issue or like this is just more controlled.
We'll know when the baby's coming.
And it's something that people are becoming normalized to.
Now, hold on. Hold on. like this is just more controlled. We'll know when the baby's coming. And it's something that people are becoming normalized to.
Now, hold on, hold on.
If we get to that point and we are also very close
to the designer baby period,
China has already had several stories
about super soldier program
where they're genetically modifying humans
to make them more resilient,
more robust, stronger, taller, et cetera.
If people then start going
to their doctors
to plan for their babies
and the doctors outright say we no longer need
women to have babies when people are choosing the traits for their kids what is what is the the
reason they would choose a woman i mean that sincerely i'm not saying there isn't one i'm
saying what do you guys think they would say because i feel like when it comes to strength
height uh social status and and this is coming from the left perspective of patriarchy, parents are going to be like, let's just choose a boy.
So there are certain, obviously, benefits to, like, women have historically always been better at certain things like creating communities, empathy, and those things will still need to exist in society.
Of course.
But I think in the short term, you're going to have parents being like very liberal, very leftist, but going
but we do know that patriarchy is real.
So let's not subject a daughter to that.
Let's have a young boy. They'll be quotas.
Or they'll have a girl who then they want to
transition to be a boy.
That's what I'm actually saying.
Or we'll literally get to the point where you just don't have
genitalia. You're just completely non-binary.
A true non-binary.
Maybe that one's a
ways off but i i do think the first step before that is you will likely just see parents being
like boys are going to be easier let's just deal with that we don't need to worry about grandkids
anymore i sort of think the opposite i think there's so much antipathy towards men that people
are more likely to be angry about uh having male babies i've had people say to me like oh i really
wouldn't have a boy like a boy are you kidding me like there is a lot of anti-man sentiment that
starts when you're having a boy and fair point it may go the other way it may be parents being
like we don't want to make the patriarchy worse let's have a girl or provide more toxic masculinity
to the world i think real quick if they move in the direction of only girls there could be a potential future where the planet is 97 female and the scientists and the
presidents and the military they're like we need to find men there's just no y chromosomes everywhere
and then some genetic disease will start impacting the population and they'll be like where are the
men and then like guys will be like hiding in a cave because they want to take their genetics or
something sci-fi movie how about this playing xbox in a cave because they want to take their genetics or something. Sci-fi movie. How about that? Playing Xbox in a cave.
That sounds fascinating.
I would watch that.
It's always like the male patriarchy is oppressing us.
Women.
There were decay though of our,
like I read there's a decay of the chromosome.
I think it's plastics.
Testosterone's dropping.
Sperm counts dropping.
The chromosomes breaking up.
I think it's plastics.
Also in terms of um electromagnetism yeah
but also surrounded by wi-fi and computer sorry but in the terms of what we're talking about with
births uh and natural births and stuff like that when you talk about what we were talking about
earlier which is the worship of self we're seeing the rise of surrogacy because they don't want to
actually have kids themselves they want to pay somebody else to have the kid for them so it's
like no matter what way you go you're not having a natural birth at all.
And then we have people coming out saying they're having a harder time connecting with
those kids because they didn't actually pair bond with them in the same way.
And that's on the rise every bit as much.
And oddly enough, also only available to the super wealthy or to the people that can afford
it.
It bothers me so much that people didn't realize it would be hard to bond with children that you didn't carry because we have had centuries of adoption right like this this is
something that we are still doing there are always children who need homes and if you look into it
for even a second this is something everyone talks about that you it's not easy but you have to build
a bond with a child you adopt at any age and the fact that we would be so arrogant to be like well i specifically
paid for this child so of course i'll love it and to love me like yeah it's a designer it's like
you're saying it's a designer child you go pick it up it's like saying your dog doesn't like you
like you you i bought this puppy why doesn't it like my house it's crazy yep it's very scary when
you disconnect yourself completely from the reality of your actions.
Another thing pushed by the media, the decay of actually supporting families that bond with each other, right? Like I said, chosen family. They want you to go and
choose your family based on whatever your immutable characteristics are outside of
your biological connection to someone else. It's about what you look like or who you have sex with.
That's what they seem to think matters to people. But that's a great
control tactic as well because you get
people outside the strongest bonds in their
life. And so you take them into an
area where they can control you. Same reason
they got rid of religion. Same reason they tried
to separate people from religion because people
are far more easier to
control and they're far more
likely to worship their own self
if they don't believe in
something greater than them that keeps them in i think also chosen family you know i think there
are lots of different types of families that are successful but this concept of chosen family that
accepts you for who you are exactly as you say you are is different from honest true love that
you get from real families your real family will be like hey love you, but I think you're harming yourself.
Hey, I love you,
but like I want more for you.
I want better for you.
And I don't think chosen family
has that type of structure.
I don't think that there's
the accountability there.
It's very utopian.
I think if you get to say,
you should love me exactly as I am,
there's no one to push back and say like,
are you sure you're going down the right path?
So I think real love is ugly in many ways.
And I think that's what people aren't willing to acknowledge nowadays. I think real love is ugly in many ways. And I think that's what people
aren't willing to acknowledge nowadays. They think real love should be easy and should be beautiful.
And you look at relationships, we've become so comfortable just detaching from things so quickly
because there's a million options out there. And so it's very easy to just say, accept me as I am
and find someone who will accept you as you are, at least temporarily,
you know? And so it's, it's super easy to jump out of one relationship to another. And if you don't have bonds with people who are really willing to break you down and tell you, I'm doing
this because I love you. Like even, we've even done that with families. We've told parents,
they're not allowed to parent strict. You know, we're not allowed to be harsh to our kids. We're
not allowed to say no to our kids. And what you do when you do that is you create a child who's very much
going to grow up
and not be willing
to experience that
anywhere else.
And if you don't
affirm their gender,
California will come
and take your children
from you now.
And you are an evil,
evil devil
who is breaking down
your poor child.
But also remember
body positivity
and everybody's beautiful
sometimes,
unless you think it's wrong,
then you can destroy it.
Every body is beautiful
unless it's an ideal body
and then it's part of the patriarchy.
Yes, you have to push back on them
because those are unrealistic beauty standards,
which is hard to believe
considering they're actually realistic
because they actually exist.
If you look at every message that's put out,
it's almost like they're all designed to kill us.
Literally, like the fat celebrating thing, like a fat, you're fat shaming me and a big population.
I mean, that is the most obvious one.
I'm like, what?
I have to celebrate the fact that you're at higher risk.
And again, I don't believe in shaming people who are overweight, but I don't believe in celebrating it any more than I believe in celebrating someone who smokes or someone who drinks alcohol excessively or anything
that will lead to your early death.
They don't believe in a middle ground there.
They believe that anything that is not, it's kind of like when they talk about like a lot
of the YouTubers that I'll watch, they'll be like, whenever they talk about somebody
that they're arguing with or that they disagree with, they say, don't contact this person.
Anything you say to them that is not 110% affirmation of everything they believe will
be seen as an insult and as an attack.
So they believe that anything that is not 110% affirming every aspect of who they are,
the decisions they've made, the person that they've become is somehow an attack on them
as a person when we understand that the world is not that black and white.
And it's far more gray.
Doesn't that feel like a lack of self-confidence, though?
Yes, it is.
Doesn't that feel like if you don't celebrate me, then I must be doing something wrong?
It's petulant.
It's ridiculous.
And I think one of the core problems is that we've boiled all love down to sort of this
idolized worship, often rooted in sexuality.
You know what I mean?
I think we forget that there are all kinds of ways to love someone and support someone that doesn't
mean that you fall over backwards trying to say that they're the best thing of all times and
everything they do is right right all the time i think that we are uh devoid of emotional uh
nuance and we don't know how to talk about it and we have to boil everything down to either
you're for me or you're against me if i saw a kid with their parent mom or dad an ice cream shop and the kid was
screaming i want more ice cream and the parent was like okay okay and then gave the kid more
ice cream and the kid shoveled it down and said i want more i want more and the kid was like
overweight i bet man those parents don't love that kid at all i i had a friend who's who said something super interesting to me once uh about relationships and because he's like he's he he fights a lot
early on in his relationships with his partners and he's like that's the time where everyone says
you should be in your little fantasy period where everything should be great you should you know the
fight should come later it's a bad sign he's like no he's like i want to get i want to know early
on i want to set these healthy boundaries early on so we know we know right away you can't be scared
of that you can't be scared of tension you can't be scared of not being agreeable with someone you
have to be willing to kind of face that fire and if something's not right for you if it's not right
for them that's okay you have to be able to communicate that and then you can work through
it if it's worth it but again we've become a society that says the second anything is wrong the second someone doesn't support you
exactly the way you are even if it's entirely detrimental to your well-being that they're the
problem you're not the problem but it's but it is changing i think we're starting to recognize that
affirmation is not care it's the opposite of that if someone comes to you and says they think they
should be
skin and bones, we have interventions for this. And no, you need to eat food.
But for some reason, there are a bunch of elements to human behavior where everyone's affirming it,
including morbid obesity. And they're letting these people make these claims like it's not
a choice. There's this woman who's flying on a plane saying they should, it's discrimination
to make them buy more than one seat because they don't fit. I just saw that. She wants three seats for free.
Yeah.
Can I ask you a question?
What do you guys see if you play all these individual things out to their final level?
What do you see the end result as?
A collapse.
Complete collapse and then just like a rebuilt kind of. Yeah, like I think it may happen, you know, like things break down.
The system never truly goes away.
People survive. They'll keep working. I think the cities are. You know, like things break down. The system never truly goes away. People survive.
They'll keep working.
I think the cities are on the verge of collapse.
I mean, actually, I think SF is dead.
So something happens to how malls close.
When one store closes, then people stop going to the mall, which lowers foot traffic for other stores, which causes more stores to close.
And then it causes this cascade effect.
That's happening to downtown San Franciscoisco oh yeah their hotels are being
surrendered the mall is not being surrendered it's only 55 percent leased when there's no reason to
go downtown people will stop moving there people will stop working there and then the less people
are there the less people need to be there the more it'll collapse that's going to happen to
the rest of our cities too you believe that across the united states do you believe there's certain
cities that will be strongholds against look at detroit right massive population
depart like flight out of the state i don't think it means the cities will just cease to exist i'm
saying that as hubs they'll just not they won't be i agree with that and you could say it's
technological too but there's no reason to be there anymore because we can all work on zoom
and stuff for the most part but i think we are going to see these cities that are rife with crime and other conflict and chaos they're going to become
undesirable and cheap it's going to be like an inversion of the rural versus the the the urban
yeah i think it's just such a shame because i think california has so much to offer on a
nature level on a entertainment level it's just, it's a really cool place. But I think states, I mean, California is a great example.
There are people who live outside of cities who would never leave California.
They love it.
It's the city center that's the problem and the infrastructure that goes with it.
Someone, we just got a super chat from A.A.
Arantxa, who said, we have the story, I just pulled it up.
AT&T to close downtown San Francisco flagship store. I can only wonder why. I didn't have the story, I just pulled it up, AT&T to close downtown San Francisco flagship store.
I can only wonder why.
I didn't read the story.
We just pulled it up.
They say consumer shopping habits continue to change, and we're changing with them.
That means serving customers where they are through the right mix of retail stores, digital channels, and our phone-based care team.
He said there are still two AT&T locations within one mile of their financial district store.
The closure isn't unique to SF.
The Union Square store will shutter August 1st.
A similar store in Chicago and Michigan Avenue
will close on the same day,
leaving the nation's only AT&T flagship store in Dallas.
Interesting.
I wonder why Dallas.
I wonder what Texas might be doing
to where they're okay keeping their store open,
but Chicago and SF, not so much.
I think that somebody was just walking
into the AT&T store one day,
and they're just like,
that's just one crack needle too many on their foot.
They're just like, sorry, that's enough heroin in my feet for one day.
You know when they have to put all their phones behind vaults.
Yeah.
Didn't Walmart just say that in San Francisco also that they're eventually, I think they're going to shut down, but now they have everything.
There's no workers there anymore.
Walmart is closing stores across the country because of crime.
I mean, It's everywhere.
And for a lot of people, Walmart is a
is their main grocery
store. It's their main access to food. And so
this is a big problem.
There's a, I think a Walgreens, I think it's in Chicago
where you walk in, there's no products. There's a
wall with an iPad and you walk up and
type in what you want. That's what I was talking about. It's Chicago? I thought it was San
Francisco. And then they bring the items out
to you after you pay. Wow, man.
It's really funny because I remember
when Amazon wanted to launch that store where
there's no cashiers.
You walk in, grab whatever you want, and walk out and it automatically charges
you. Yeah. I reached out
to Amazon after
figuring out a very simple way of bypassing the
system. And
they said, effectively
what I was told was that uh shrinkage doesn't matter that much
because they save so much money on overhead by not having the staff to do to do checkout that
they can absorb those costs it's expected but it is fascinating that they thought they could do
something like that i really don't think that'll work out in the long run because if people aren't
scared to steal and walk past security what do you think's to happen when they walk into a building and there's nothing?
There's nobody.
They're going to walk in, take whatever they want, walk out.
What are you going to do about it?
You think a cop is going to go find a guy because he took $10 worth of food?
Ain't going to happen.
Especially not in San Francisco if they have any there.
I mean, they're not even allowed to engage the police even if they do see it.
Well, there's the $1,000 limit in SF.
So if Amazon really tries to do these futuristic cashierless stores, people going to walk in and be like it's not even illegal to take whatever
you want i mean it's if you're incentivizing people to steal i've sadly learned this in life
is that human nature does not always lean toward the best behavior it tends to inherently head
toward the worst and you have to deter people on some level uh and so it's you know i have
friends who work in department stores and they're like we're not even allowed to even say anything
do you have a physical store for their watches nope no we've sold to retailers uh i don't want
an egg you know it'd be cool to have an like egg art physical store that would just have a showcase
and uh i would like it just for the kind of legacy of the company maybe in
florida in florida where i live now i ran away from california well i was gonna say because it's
probably the only safe place you know yeah you can set up in west virginia you'd be pretty good
there but in terms of higher density foot traffic in a big urban store florida's probably your best
bet i think so too i think florida's i mean i have i have a buddy who opened a sunglass store over
there and he's you know he's doing really well.
Florida has just become such a crazy hub of over the past two years, three years.
It's just exploded.
Yeah.
So especially South Florida where I am.
It's just the amount of change so quickly scares me on some level because I'm like, this cannot be sustainable.
But so long as people are flooding out of the states you talk about, they're going to keep flooding into other states in Florida, Texas. Those are really desirable. Well, come on,
let's think about it. You have choices here. You can live in San Francisco where you're going to
step in human poop, or you can live in Florida where there are beautiful men on the beach,
ceviche, nice man comes and brings you pina colada. You're sitting back, you put your feet up,
no drag shows for kids none of that i don't
know you choose is there any worry that like there's a constant worry right that when people
flock out of these cities that they're they don't really think it through entirely and then they end
up bringing their voting habits to these other states and then you have to worry about those
states eventually slowly transforming over time because they don't connect in their brain that
the things they were voting for were what
they never promised to leave their voting
habits. No, they don't. I think I think DeSantis
has proven that to
not be something we should fear
because he got a million new votes
because he's the exception
though because of the Cuban vote and
the fear of socialism. You do not
necessarily have that from a left-leaning
liberal who leaves California.
But Texas also did see a redshift.
Yeah, and didn't they also heavily restrict
mail-in ballots in both those states?
They may have.
Yeah, that could also be a big factor.
I think two things.
I think we talked about this before
when Elon and Rogan leave California for Texas.
It's not that they are bringing their policies.
It's that they bring staff. The employees who work for their companies are not conservatives and if they have
to relocate for work or say hey it's an opportunity then you're bringing liberal voters that is scary
to me yep if florida goes down i gotta run away again the last bastion well there's always west
virginia all right but we we've we've got our stuff happening in West Virginia too.
Yeah.
I don't know if I should talk about it just yet.
Maybe we should wait.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, but West Virginia. Oh man, now I feel so great.
There's just woke stuff happening in West Virginia.
Oh really?
And you know, it's the second most Trump supporting state in the country.
It's like 86% support for Trump.
Most people here are-
Every county in the state went for Trump.
Right.
And even where it's like potentially mixed,
it leans still for Trump.
It's close.
But most people here who aren't even staunch conservative
are just in agreement with us on most of these issues.
And you're seeing this stuff emerge.
And I think it's because the average person doesn't care.
And I think it's because conservatives don't engage
in community activism.
So the fundamental problem I see for conservatives in general, there's like a multifaceted kind of problem here that I see happening.
I think one of the first things that you see that's really bad for conservatives is that they rely so much on individuality as opposed to kind of like a hive mentality that you see on the left. It's just far more effective because once you have a sense of kind of that hive mentality,
it's that warm and fuzzy feeling I was telling you about in Hollywood.
It's a really good feeling when you show up on set and it's warm and everyone's friends
with you and you feel important.
The left is very good at creating that sentiment across the board on everything they do with
messaging, with community, and the right lacks in that department
they're not emotionally driven uh in their advertising and their messaging and their
movies because they feel it in the family they they keep that aspects for the family
for the family side of things whereas the other side looks to find it in their profession it's
an advantage though it is they also they also coalition build better and they they go door to door like i've i've never
had a right-wing political candidate ever come door to door to me with you know with you know
people reaching out say hey how do you feel about this person would you want to vote for this person
but i've certainly had a lot of people uh come to my door like there's people like when it was
like craig ellis and in minnesota was like like, oh, he's here for attorney general.
I'm like, isn't that the guy who beat his wife?
And they're like, I don't know about that.
I'd have to check on that.
Like, you know, but they like in that time period before that election, I had three, four candidates.
All Democrats had people coming door to door to talk to you about it.
And I just don't see that.
Do you think part of that is because you were in a liberal city and so Republicansans saw it as lost ground already i didn't see the point in battling it out i don't know how it how
the voting goes because i like where i lived out there was fairly unique i was uh in either
direction i was a mile from what would have been an urban center meaning that that would have gone
heavily blue but then to the you know a mile the other way and i'm in a fairly nice and a very nice
suburb but it only matters for the voting yeah so i don't know where you know you didn't vote in the suburb you voted in the
city center like that's what you were yes for so then yeah they probably saw it as a lost cause
well these weren't no these were state level elections these weren't even county or anything
like this so these would have been people like he this is attorney general for the state right so
that's they could have gone through
the whole area it wouldn't have mattered so i don't think it would have been seen as ground
loss i just know that in my i get more text messages you know the you get the random text
messages it's never even under my name it's for some person it's like i've been getting text
message for a guy named masood for like a decade and i just never unsubscribed to it because i just
expect now i like invite him invited masood out for this i look forward well no they think i'm masood if you thought about voting for
this person i'm like i'm still masood it's kind of nice but you know on those on those lonely
nights you're sitting there and you're looking around it's dark and your phone vibrates and
you smile yeah it feels good to be masood no i think that uh that Republicans famously are terrible at their ground game, right?
Like that's not anything new.
What bothers me more is that they it's their offseason, right?
Like we get it.
You're terrible.
I can say it a hundred times.
Get better at going to the door.
Find some more innovative voter registration strategy.
What bothers me more is in the offseasons right now, it's Pride Month.
There are all these pride parades.
We're seeing all these things.
These are moments where you're getting people who are like-minded together
in a non-election year there are not equivalents for conservatives right like where are the i mean
some states have them but like more county fairs i would like lots of fourth of july like block
yeah i want more things that non-political leaning conservative people can go to and connect with other people and
talk about hey what's going on in our community or our state or our nation right i feel like that's
what we are missing the off off your community events and and the fun behind it yeah like
they're missing there's a disconnect somewhere in conservative messaging and events and i don't like
maybe it's because i'm like a hyper artistic person i'm kind
of like in that sense i'm very liberal minded and there's a disconnect for me and i can't put my
finger on it with a lot of the stuff that is for the right where i don't even want to attend the
event i don't even i don't know what it is i can't i can't nail it down i think it's something i i
don't know how much anyone follows this but like the new york republicans have really exploded as
a club in the past couple of years.
And it's because they made it fun.
They do fun events.
They do.
They have interesting speakers.
It's it's a community group.
And I think this is something that we are missing.
I think it's easy for a lot of left leaning people to get together when they feel outrage and they're going against the machine, even though we know they kind of are the machine at this point.
And conservatives don't have those community moments. My favorite thing that Trump has said
is that we need to have like a year long celebration for the 250th anniversary of America.
That's awesome.
Bless. Let's do this. Like that sounds fun. Even if you're not super into politics,
it's just fun to have fun things to do.
You know what I think it is with the art? I think when it comes for the art, like you said,
your liberal mind when it comes to our artistic artistic endeavors it's because when the right creates art a lot of the times
it reeks of a sense of desperation to win back something yes that i don't like i i i don't i'm
maybe i'm upsetting some people but i heard the the 81 million vote song and i just i'm like
just like this isn't this isn't working like it like there is whether you like their
messaging or not there is more natural artistic drive uh on the left side of things and now it's
shoved into the entertainment full force now but it wasn't always like that right so yeah they could
coalition you know better you know build better and i do like the idea of more you know more things
that celebrate the country right more fun but isn't it sad that anything that celebrates the country is now
inherently a political issue rather than a bipartisan one well that's nuts in itself
we we've got breaking news that i want to bring up this is uh from fox news thousands protest
sisters of perpetual indulgence outside dodger stadium hours before start of pride night
and uh we can see someone super chattis bill m saying
dodger stadium entrance shut down by protests so uh for those unfamiliar this is a hate group
whose sole intention is to insult and mock christians and catholics in particular and they
are being uh given the opportunity to to perform uh their hate speech at a dodger stadium now for
me i'm all about the First Amendment
and stuff like that.
So typically it's like, you know,
if you're gonna have a group
and they wanna speak their mind
and they wanted to put on a show or whatever,
I'm typically okay with it.
However, in Los Angeles,
they have very, very strict rules against this.
So it's surprising that law enforcement
allowed this hate speech to persist
and forced the good citizens seeking social justice to come and protest. I would also wanna know why the hell so many things that have nothing to do and, uh, and, and, and forced the good citizens seeking social justice to come
and protest. I would also want to know why the hell so many things that have nothing to do with
drag shows now have to do with directors. What does sports have to do with it? Who the hell in
the, in the good name of middle management was like, you know, it would be a good idea.
We should have this group out. Like, what does that have to do with baseball?
It's giving a straight girls who make pride about themselves.
You know what I'm saying?
Drag has never been as popular until all of these people who had no interest in drag decided we needed drag shows everywhere.
I want to pull up.
I have this tweet from Savannah Hernandez.
Thousands of Catholics have shut down the main entrance to Dodger Stadium on Vinscally Avenue in protest of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored tonight.
They are now lining the sidewalks and have taken over the entire block i mean this is what we're talking about talking about conservatives who need to to stand up and
protest and i gotta point out too i probably shouldn't even say conservative many of them
probably are many of them may be catholic but uh savannah says thousands of catholics perhaps
there are thousands of catholics but i'm willing to bet there are a lot of just regular angelinos
who are like hey we're not okay with this kind of performance.
It's a minstrel show.
And not all Catholics are conservative, right?
There are liberal Catholics who would see this as an insult to their faith.
It's like we forget that there are pro-life Democrats.
They're a minority, but their party gave them away.
We don't talk about these things because we have decided that, you know, most are like
this.
But if you were a left-leaning, if you were a liberal Catholic, this would be just as insulting to your this but if you were a left-leaning if you were a liberal
catholic this would be just as insulting to your faith as if you were a conservative i do have a
feeling that seamus would tell you there aren't liberal catholics there are i know there definitely
are but what are they really catholics then if they're upholding i mean certain certain values
i think there are a lot of catholics who disagree about vatican can you be a pro-choice catholic no i would say no but i am not a practicing catholic
it's not my my decision to uh well what i will say is there's certain certain things and this
kind of gives me hope a little bit there's certain uh areas of weakness like cracks in the structure
of the left where they lose their own party and i think these are some of the ones you see like
the trans issue the vax issue.
You know, when they get too extreme on certain issues
that go against common sense.
Minnesota just, didn't Minnesota just legalize late term,
like late, late term abortion?
And that was just-
Yeah, I believe so.
That was just like, just a couple of years ago,
I was talking to someone,
because like I said, I'm from Minnesota,
and I was talking to someone,
and I was explaining about Ralph Northam,
and what was going on,
and all of these things. And they're like, that sounds crazy. That's not real. I'm like, no, no talking to someone and I was explaining about Ralph Northam and what was going on and all of these things.
And they're like,
that sounds crazy.
That's not real.
I'm like,
no,
no,
you have to read this.
You have to read the bill.
You have to read through all these things.
And then they're like,
well,
that's,
that's very fringe.
It's not going to expand.
That was a couple of years ago.
And they're like,
that will never come here.
I'm like,
that'll come here before it'll come a lot,
a lot of other places,
given the way that Minnesota started to lean.
A BLM activist who just got arrested in Canada or charged in Canada for an lot of a lot of other places given the way that minnesota started to lean uh blm activists just
got arrested in canada or charged in canada uh for an anti-catholic hate crime uh she blocked
a catholic school and couldn't like people couldn't get in i guess and uh she was also a
very serious um pro-abortion activist she led a huge rally in calgary and was interviewed and
she was saying we need to speak out about the potential this is after the roe uh decision leaked and she was
saying we need to speak out because what's happening in america could spread to canada
they could take away our rights to abortion uh if if they think it could happen shouldn't we
think it could happen right you know i thought the timing of the roe v wade uh decision was
a bad move for conservatives.
I thought it really hurt.
I had a big debate with my dad at the time.
He's like, people don't care as much as you think.
I'm like, people are single party voters and they vote emotionally.
And, you know, when what's his name from Barstool Sports came out and was like, I'm voting left if they go.
Portnoy made some kind of speech about voting Democrat if this happens.
And I was like,
man, people,
people are so weird in their decision
to just like outrageously
like say that.
No, no, no, no.
That makes sense for Portnoy.
His argument,
and I'm not,
I'm saying this in all seriousness,
I thought his argument
was that if he knocks up a woman,
he doesn't want to have the kid.
Oh, that's a fair argument.
If that's his argument
for being pro-choice.
I personally find it morally,
I find it morally um
as i find it to be morally repugnant yeah but at least he's consistent in his uh but i don't want
to i don't want to assign views to him i don't know if that's 100 true i just remember people
saying something like i think he said something about that like yo if you like up with a chick
and she gets she gets pregnant whatever like you gotta have that choice or something like that
that's what it's because of ease a society of ease let me just double check that i'll make
sure i'm right no but that makes sense i mean that really does make sense yeah plenty of men
who are like yes i am very in support uh support of your abortion rights because i don't want to
have to take any responsibility if i screw up or we always say it's women but i think there are a
lot of men who are like no please everything that everything that women are pushing nowadays
men are secretly very like women are like
i want the right to be promiscuous it's like doesn't andrew schultz do a whole bit about this
he's like we agree feminists he goes the feminists of today are the f boys of five years man guys are
like what do you tell me you don't want me to pay for you you don't want to work free the nipple
yeah i agree yeah do you want to pay for our own stuff dudes get down here to clarify i don't have
anything of him saying anything like that he's literally just giving the traditional uh left
argument women's choice it's their right constitution etc oh all right i mean i mean
either way i'm sure there are other men who have made that argument i i sort of disagree i think
you know obviously it was bizarre for the for the leak but But I think the timing of Roe v. Wade was good for the conservative base. I think conservatives felt like it was a win. Like, yes, maybe there seeing that the Supreme Court was going to change this decision was something that helped conservatives.
I think they felt like it reenergized them because for so long, I think a lot of conservatives feel like they are battling an uphill.
They are battling uphill to defend their values and keep them here.
They're always having to compromise on everything.
And it was the one time in a long time that they have been like, oh, no, we were right.
This was a bad idea.
The Supreme Court says
it should go back to the stage,
which was the also the crazy thing
because the left went
into hysterics about this.
And they were like,
you're challenging abortion everywhere.
And it's like kind of
if your state wants to have it,
you can.
Yeah, but again,
it's the messaging.
And the right never gets
an opportunity to put out
the right message.
You'll never get the media to back a message.
That's right.
So like I've even made arguments to people who are very left leaning and I've gotten
them on board with with it by just saying, I don't think the government should have a
say one way or the other because they could eventually lead to a complete restriction
on it if you feel like they should be.
Which is what they tried to ask trump about at the town
hall like this is they are only operating they only want this to be a federal issue the fact
that this is the compromise it's a state's issue as it always should have been is not enough i
disagree i don't think it should be a state issue really yeah i think uh overturning roe v wade is
wrong it should be a federal issue and it should be federally federally regulated no i feel like
you think it should be federally regulated yeah my i think i'm i don't know exactly what my view was around the time this was uh overturned i think we were all
fairly in agreement over it we've had a lot of conversations about it and i think that it should
be federally federally regulated under the 14th amendment um or because of the 14th amendment i
think the federal government has to ensure uh rights under the law to all life.
That doesn't mean I think abortion should be banned.
I don't.
I think it just means that we can't have two standards of when someone is allowed to get an abortion because it terminates a life.
There is no point in history where an arbitrary definition of personhood has not resulted in the mass death of a group.
Right. group right and and and so you know where we are is i'm traditionally i'm in the more traditional pro-choice camp which is up to a certain amount of weeks government stays out of it after a certain
point it's the baby can survive the baby should not be killed that's my view i think the federal
government should regulate it of course roe v wade's overturns it doesn't matter but um it
could go to congressional legislation if trump and Republicans sweep, you could end up with like a 12-week nationwide ban if the federal government.
I just feel like it should always – we should always defer power to the states rather than the federal government.
I believe – I agree with you.
We want to have an equal application of equal protection under the law.
And I personally believe life begins at conception, right?
But I think putting power in the hands of the federal government is always a mistake.
But then you're saying that California has the right to restrict free speech.
How so?
This is a 14th Amendment question.
Do we as life, human life, have equal rights under the law?
The answer is yes, we do.
Well, the question then becomes, and you're making the argument, if by your own argument,
then there should be a complete ban of abortion across the board from conception.
Nope.
The issue is when it comes to two life forms inhabiting the same body, I don't believe
the federal government has the right to order someone provide their body and blood to another
person.
There you go.
There's a competing rights issue with abortion.
Absolutely.
So you have two bodies.
However, how can we, acknowledging this, that there's competing rights, allow two different
states to have two different standards for what the constitution is supposed to enforce. So that means it's up to federally, it's up to the
federal government to interpret or for the legislation to codify how the 14th amendment
should apply to unborn persons. The left's principal argument is life doesn't begin at
conception. They have to make that argument. Otherwise the amendment is clear abortion is completely illegal or i should say restricted up until like 12 to 16 weeks i do not see how you could argue
the constitution guarantees the rights of all citizens except we allow the states to determine
when and where those rights start and stop you can't well the problem is again with definitions
of personhood and again i think any orbit any made-up definition of personhood
other than it is a human life you know by your own definition is a dangerous one even in a
competing rights issue because you're comparing two different rights you're not competing of the
right to life of the mother to the right to life of the fetus you're comparing the right to terminate
because of dependency to the right to life and so the right to terminate or the right of dependency, to the right to life. And so the right to terminate or the right of dependency
is a much lesser right than your right to life.
In other words, if I connected you to me right now,
and we had a court, by my own choice, by my own action,
I forced your dependence onto me.
And I said, now that you are dependent on me,
I have the right to kill you.
You would say, well, no, my right to life is bigger than your right,
especially that it is through your own action to depend on me. Now you can make the argument in
rape and incest in those cases. That doesn't hold. I don't think the incest one applies.
Yeah. As long as there is no consent to the act, that argument makes sense. But when you take
action to create a life and then you try and say, well, there's a competing rights issue.
No, it's not an equal right. And you took action to create that right through consent, to create that situation through consent.
Early on, I was very much saying like, oh, it's good that the states are taking control of this issue.
It should go to the states and things like that.
Now, I very much don't think so because of the Constitution and because of the 14th Amendment, which means I think Republicans should legislate this.
And my view is it should be like, I don't know, maybe 16 weeks or something.
Just such a difficult, difficult subject they never end up they
never will end up doing that on either side because it's too much of a money maker when
oh yeah it makes them way too much money when they're raising campaign funds which is why obama
never ratified and why we kept it out right entirely because they have to continue to
campaign on the need to continue to campaign for it.
So it'll just always-
It's like the pharmaceutical industry.
Yeah, it's almost like the pharmaceutical industry.
Let's take a look at the purpose of the 14th Amendment.
It emerges after the Civil War.
It's to guarantee that those who are enslaved
in this country are recognized as citizens of this country.
It also guarantees equal treatment under the law
for all individuals.
There is no logical scientific
or even moral basis to argue that life does not begin at conception there they can make every
argument in the world they want but life literally begins at conception this is when a unique set of
dna is created to any degree then they make these arguments about how like oh so when a woman has a
miscarriage or whatever it's it's an abortion no one said that we're talking uh the crime requires intent and then there is the complications of um
competing interests competing rights and that's why i'm like it's not so simple to say ban abortion
outright yeah i also think you can't just be like california says you can in colorado or you know
california colorado say you can texas says you can't because if we're talking about we we cannot allow states to
determine what what is a human and what is not like we we we have to codify that look that's a
great argument and i actually would rethink my position on that based on that argument
what i would there's there's an argument that ben shapiro makes that actually kind of upsets me
when he says they that women lack the mens rea to know that they're committing a
crime because they've lived in a society that's taught them that it's not a life by that argument
a white supremacist who's been taught that a jew is a rat or a cockroach and goes and kills a jew
lacks the mens rea no dice don't buy it i don't buy it either i i i do think even conservatives
and pro-lifers don't truly believe the um the flat morality of their statements when pro-lifers say
that a baby is a life and abortion is killing a baby i always ask a very simple question to
which they always reject and that is i'll ask you now if you came across an individual who was on
the verge and declared his intent to take the life of another person would you intervene to save that
person yes if you saw a doctor about to
perform an abortion on a baby at eight months and said i will now take the life of this baby would
you intervene to save that baby yes you would yes the average person says says absolutely not
oh 100 i would intervene you would stop a doctor given the opportunity consequence of law you're
talking about like i'm going to be arrested because oh no just just just in general i mean
consequence eight month fetus absolutely so most conservatives
i say absolutely not they say no i wouldn't i wouldn't do that that's different and it's in
and and i'm you know is there argument there that like look i don't know i don't know if that doctor
is performing it to save the mother that's a whole other argument yeah so so so the typical answer i
get and you know i respect your your
your candor the average conservative i've asked on this show has just been like no i wouldn't
you know it's like they're performing and i'm like so you do see it differently you don't see
it exactly the same but it sounds like you do i see a abortion at eight months where there is no
medical risk if it's again under extenuating circumstances which again i might argue the
same thing of self-defense if
someone was about to kill you and you were about to fight back and kill them i'd be like okay i
wouldn't intervene but uh in the sense of it's just an abortion there's no risk to the woman
other than what is normally expected in a pregnancy yes i would intervene and say that that is very
disturbing is it also is it also still, like in states where abortion is legal,
does it also still consider double murder if you end up killing a pregnant mother?
So there's liberal states.
That's it.
You can get charged with double murder.
So in this documentary I shot,
one of the things I did is I interviewed people
and we did it in LA where everyone is very pro-choice.
And one of the first questions I asked them
is that exact
question if there's a man who dates a woman she gets pregnant uh three four months down the road
he decides he doesn't want the baby so he stabs the woman and she dies and the baby dies is that
double homicide they all said yes and i said it's abortion the taking of a life and they said no and
they're they tried to rationalize it so hard you saw the viral clip we had on this show with the the leftists who said that he believes women should
abortions whenever they want but that women shouldn't be allowed to do meth because meth
intentionally kills the baby and i'm just like you know come on so you can do it you just can't
have fun while you're doing it what about alcohol what we need is rule of law i think back to you
know i read a lot about the civil war considering
and the problem is you have different states with a different standard on what is a human life and
what constitutes human rights and now you have the argument over whether or not an unborn baby
is a human life but it unquestionably is by all medical standards by every definition and then
the left comes up with arguments that it's not a human life because of sentience because of
emotion or whatever we've even had a leftist on the show argue i said when
do you think life begins he said some point after birth and i'm like well that's just not legal
it's not moral like so there are some very serious and complicated moral questions that pertain to
how this stuff happens in this country well personhood over human life is the danger right
because personhood usually is argued as sentience or self-consciousness self-awareness and self-awareness
could arguably happen at three years old logical thinking at 11 are they saying are they saying
that then they're not going to assign you your social security number or your birth certificate
until you've had your first conscious thought like i don't know what they're like that doesn't hold water oh i had i debated someone on
abortion they literally told me that it should be allowed up and if you don't have a social security
card you're not a human being i so you know thinking about the overturning of roe v wade
and why i think it's probably wrong is that this is more likely to lead us to civil conflict in
this country because what was a federally settled issue.
And I think what I'm basically saying is that like the original interpretation probably was the better one.
The issue is now you have states in active conflict over a personhood question and that's not going to go well.
We also have to ask the same question about these child sex change operations that are happening in these other states when they can take someone's kid away and then reject subpoenas and
warrants i think the the challenge is when the federal government seeds a constitutional
personhood ruling you'll end up with states at extreme moral odds with each other where we are
now and then a certain point someone just says i can't allow this evil to persist in this country
and they're not going to wait for legislation.
And that's a dark, a dark thing.
I guess I'd rather have the debate, right?
I'd rather have the debate over personhood happen at state levels because I think that's more effective in changing minds.
Perhaps, but I just feel like it makes the argument that any constitutional right can be can be legislated on in any state.
I think we should have a debate then.
I always I mean, like-
I don't.
I think my rights aren't up for a vote.
And if the Constitution guarantees my right to keep it in my arms,
no state should be allowed to restrict it.
I think by legislating at the federal level, which may be the right thing to do.
It's just my opinion that making,
returning more power to the federal government is always a mistake.
I think personally that we should have as much debate about our rights constantly all the
time because that's the only way to defend them. And I think if you want to convert people's minds
about when life begins, it's more likely to be effective at the state level. If someone who
doesn't believe you hears, well, they made it, you know, they passed a federal restriction on
abortion. You can't have abortion after 12 weeks. They are going to see the federal government
as this oppressive patriarchal society
and they will never change their mind about it.
They'll see if they are more right-
They're not going to change their mind anyway.
It's-
That's why I think it's better.
You're more likely to win people at the state level.
It's not even that the Supreme Court
said it goes to the states.
It's that they said the Supreme Court
shouldn't rule on it.
Yeah.
So the real issue goes to Congress.
I'd be happy for it to go to Congress,
except I think it-
I just personally feel like this is something that should be legislated at the state level. You Congress. I'd be happy for it to go to Congress, except I think it, I just personally feel like this
is something that should be legislated at the state level.
You know, I came in 100% thinking the same thing as you.
For a long time, actually, that was my position.
But if it is a constitutional right, which it is, then it has to be legislated on a federal
level.
It cannot be legislated on a state level.
For the very argument he made, if personhood is determined on a state level, you'll not only find that it will have far
varying descriptions, which is extremely dangerous and will be against the Constitution.
But what you will have is more extreme positions.
You're going to have California purposefully push back and say, we're allowing it until
birth.
And you're going to have.
This is what happened with Roe, though.
After Roe, we just paused all of the laws on abortion right this is the hysteria that came in west virginia is going to
enact their law from the 18th whatever we are going to see people continue to debate this so
if we get a federal law fine but until that federal law is repealed or intact in some way
you always need to have a fallback at the state level to decide how you're going to regulate these
things where you can sorry no no No, no, no. Finish.
Oh, it's like I understand that at a certain level, our Constitution is that at the federal level, federal level. But I think ultimately, if you don't have strong systems in place in the states, it all falls apart as soon as the federal government changes.

decide personnel i think robert barnes would be great for ag ultimately we need trump and team
to be ready to start running like those who stormed the beaches of normandy yeah i think it's
i think trump needs to consider more based individuals for his administration there were
so many great personalities who are big fans of Trump that were just not involved and they should have been.
All right, let's grab some more.
Where are we?
Where we got?
The Curly Afro says thanks to Chicago's ex-mayor Rahm Emanuel, now ambassador to Japan.
A LGBT understanding bill was signed into law in Japan on Friday.
People here are livid they
didn't want this and the woke virus ideological problems western nations are facing wow didn't
japan just raise their age of consent from 13 to 16 that was today japan's a crazy place japan is
wild yeah coldy locks production says tim a cult has been organized for your vociferon character
and fan art made
how does it feel to be the leader of a based furry cult now and that your character now has art it
feels fantastic i'd like to see the art maybe we'll put it we'll put it on so do you know about
volsiferon the uh i was when i was talking about human rights law in new york city their their
gender identity law says you can call yourself whatever you want you can wear whatever you want dress however you want and companies must accommodate
as a customer or employee so i'm like any name okay what about volsifron herald of the winter
mists and your your outfit a wolf furry costume of some sort or fox or something yeah the law says it
and i was told by lawyers that they'd laugh you out of the courtroom if you tried and i said then what's the difference between that and a judge laughing out
a six foot three ripped guy in a dress you know if a judge thinks something's ridiculous then he
has the right to just reject the law tough questions so that's what i'm telling people
i'm like if they really want to subject you to these rules entertain the rules yeah every every
day add one more thing to your personality and see at what point they finally just break down and say
please no more wasn't there the guy in the the school uh the student in the school they said
you have to respect pronouns and he changed himself to like sir kingston whatever he gave
himself like a royal name yeah but imagine this imagine you work somewhere that's doing this
one day you wear a tail you clip it to the back of your pants.
And then you say, it's part of my identity.
They're probably not going to care.
Then the next day, you know, you do that for a week.
The next week you wear little paw gloves.
You can still use your fingers.
And then they won't say anything.
Then the next week you wear wolf boots.
And they probably might not still say anything.
Then the next week you wear the mask.
And now they're saying, look, what are you doing?
You say, this is part of my identity. If if at this point they complain you've now got very serious
uh precedent on your side you can say i've been identifying this way for over a month
i have worn these items without consequence without complaint but all of a sudden they
start taking issue with my with my gender identity and they're gonna ask me like has he been wearing
this stuff for months well yeah but not the mask but so you knew he was doing this and you didn't say anything about it yes well then how are you
gonna complain i like that the answer is just make it a game yeah push them you should you
should turn it into something fun and extreme so that you test boundaries just to see how far
things those so you do that are necessary but here's how these things these people operate
these activists they do a little bit and so you can you tolerate it then the next
day they do a little bit more you tolerate it then the next day you do a little bit more and
before you know it a year's gone by and everything's changed the new rules the the story we
like to tell is about ebay when they first launched the website was yellow one day they changed it to
white everybody revolted no they were all mad so they changed it back then from that point on every
day they slowly incremented it one shade
at a time towards white until a year later the website was white and no one complained nobody
noticed this is true yep well that is a perfect tactic that's happened in society across the board
when it comes to the vociferon thing though if you if you were to do something like this and
you genuinely identified this way there are a lot of people who are furries and they genuinely
decided to do this at a certain point you're going to see that these businesses will not
allow it, but they have no choice.
It's the law. And so,
be yourself. Don't hold
back just because you have a fursuit.
Look, if someone who's listening to this is a
full-on
furry with a fursuit, go to work.
Go to your job and say, hey, look, it's protected.
I almost came here in a furry suit.
Opted not to.
Well, we would have respected it. i just pulled i pulled back at the last thing it always makes you think of like like i always think men who are super into the gym should go to their doctors and
ask for steroids because gender affirming care they want to affirm how masculine they are i
never understand why like why this hasn't happened yet and maybe it hasn't it is trt
starting to happen tr TRT is fantastic.
For the right people,
it's fantastic.
John Kelbaugh says,
I found a short story
about the idea
of using augmented reality technology
to filter out facts and opinions
that you don't agree with.
Read the price of consensus
of r slash hfy.
Wasn't there a Black Mirror episode
about that?
Where you could block people
in real life
and then they just like it grayed out,
and you get banned in real life, nobody could see you?
And that is coming.
That I actually believe is not so,
especially with the new trend toward augmented reality in general,
the new Apple.
But even with that stuff,
it's not like you can't see underneath or outside.
No, but eventually you can.
I mean, eventually the technology is going to become much smaller,
and eventually they're going to be able to,
and they'll be able to erase things from your vision and your memory they'll be able to for sure i don't think it's going to take off no you don't i don't think
that apple headset's going to take off because like with phones when the smartphone came out
we were using phones for decades i can't think of the similar devices no no no no no no incorrect
we did not use touch capacitive devices ever but the
phone call was something that we had established it's like a normal routine part of our lives and
the phone call will be the apparatus by which we get these implants and things i'm telling you what
what i see happening is how is that everybody got a cell phone well some people had cell phones
other people didn't and then jobs started saying you got a? Well, we would really like it if you did.
Then it got to the point where now,
if you go to a company and you try to get a job
and they'll be like, what's your cell number?
You say, I don't have one.
They'll be like, what?
How do we get in touch with you?
We have meetings, like you need a phone.
No, I just have a landline at home.
That's unacceptable.
Like, how do we get in touch with you?
I don't have email either, I just have a phone.
No, you have to have it.
So what's gonna happen with Neuralink is it'll happen. And then a bunch of companies will adopt it and their employees will just say whatever
the employees who don't like it will be like well i guess i have no choice and then within within
two years you'll try to apply for a job and they'll be like and what's your neuralink id
and you'll say oh i don't have one and they'll go well all of our meetings are in neural space
and you'll say i don't have one but look we're if you can't make the meetings
then i don't know we can do for you you know the the augmented reality thing especially is an
interesting one because it's as much as people think it's like an elitist expensive product
it's actually a product that would greatly change the lives of people who are poor because you can
come into a completely run-down building and through augmented reality have your big screen
tv that you didn't pay for have beautiful floors at least in your view you could build entire cities with just q codes qr codes on the walls amusement
parks that are just entirely generated by qr codes um and it would cost nothing i'm picturing like
somebody they're walking in their in their augmented apartment with these beautiful like
floors and then they get like a sliver and it just completely breaks the immersion oh see i was thinking they would run into someone who also
thinks they live there and that they're in a relationship but like you're not interacting
with them because in your reality you don't know that person yeah their reality you're like their
their wife or whatever like i hate it when that happens i feel like it's weird imagine perma
filter but that's what i mean like you'd be asking everyone to live in their own augmented reality and so we would have no connection to each other and so you'd have no
idea how you already kind of do that when you think about like your phone and when you look
when you think of your phone and where you get your information you kind of are living in a
different reality from somebody who gets their information from somewhere else so how far up is
it really let's read this one raymond g stanley jr says hannah claire you don't have to worry
about watching
Fast and Furious 10.
It's definitely
the worst of them all.
What?
What say you, the panel?
No.
No.
We were supposed to have
our Fast and the Furious
marathon today.
Who is this?
Who is this?
This is Jason Momoa.
That's Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
I don't know.
Raymond, you are wrong,
my friend.
I'm sorry.
Tim will disagree with me.
I haven't seen it.
Nine.
No, but I'm just saying nine is by far the least impressive of the Fast and the Furious.
Yes.
They went to space.
That's the one where they go to outer space?
I don't care.
I get it.
But the self-referential humor in that one is bad.
He is wrong.
Ten is fine.
It's good.
I almost like living in suspense.
Like, I can't fulfill this wager because I can't come up with opinions on these things.
Like, that would kill this debate.
They had an opportunity to give Dom superpowers.
I am not joking.
Okay.
They already have Idris Elba and the Fast Universe, who's a cybernetic super soldier.
Okay.
So when they went to space, I'm telling you what should have happened was there should
have been a technologically advanced
super reactor in a car,
and they're doing an experiment, Dom's driving it,
and then Ludacris is like,
hit the warp drive, and then he hits it,
and then he's like, it's not working, it's malfunctioning, he's like
abort, hits the abort, but then electrical charge just
and this big wave hits the whole
crew, and they all get superpowers.
The reason the movies still
work is because as ridiculous as every
single one of them is,
Vin Diesel plays it completely straight
and that's why you can still buy into it
because as much as ludicrous... He could have done that.
He could have done that with superpowers.
And it would still be about family.
As long as it's about family.
He comes up with another way to justify
this movie series.
Hold on.
Billion.
Hear me out. Transformion. No, Brett.
Hear me out.
Transformers Fast Crossover.
Oh.
It writes itself.
That is a genius idea.
I could see that happening also.
Don's driving Bumblebee?
Dude.
Everybody would want to watch that.
Plus, they're already doing Hasbro Cinematic Universe with G.I.
Joe, and The Rock already played in one of the G.I.
Joe movies, so you can automatically
cross them over right there. Yes, because we need
more cinematic universe. The Rock is coming back for
Fast 47.
Yeah. And they're
supposedly still going to make the
female one. The female Rock?
No, they're making a female Fast and the
Furious. I'm down. I don't care.
Why? Dude, but they gotta
get, okay, Maybe not superpowers,
but it would be cool if The Rock,
in the beginning of the movie,
they already have Idris Elba.
A terrorist gets a microwave cannon,
a new experimental energy weapon, and he fires it.
Dom pushes The Rock out of the way,
but The Rock's arm gets blasted
and it just vaporizes.
He becomes Jax from Mortal Kombat.
He needs to lose both arms.
One big massive cyber arm
that's like, he punches the ground and launches
him in the air. Dude, come on.
He's just Will Smith from the robot movie
if he gets one arm. He needs two arms and it needs
to be Jax. I do feel like
any movie is better when people have superpowers.
Well, I'm just saying they're there. They went to space.
It made sense. Multiverse.
Raymond G. Stanley is wrong
Fast 10 is fantastic
it's just
he's wrong
I'm sorry
multiverse dude
I don't know man
it's a hot topic
how long have these movies
been around
they're this controversial
first one came out
in 2001
first one came out
in 2001
so we're over
the 20 year mark now
Omega Rosetsu says
I am black
but identified with Dirty
Claw Logan, Wolverine, as a kid
in the early 80s. I gave less than a rat's
ass that Wolverine was white.
Or that he was really short.
Dude, Static Shock was my...
You, Jackman, who is like 6 foot...
They just can't do the character justice.
They could have had Tom Cruise do it.
And he should have a Canadian accent, let's be honest.
Static Shock was my favorite superhero show when I was a kid i thought the show was fantastic i thought i
i just like the way they did for those that are familiar it's uh virgil hawkins i believe his name
is he's he's got electric powers the story they did in the cartoon is that he's he's being forced
to pressure to join a gang there's a gang fight at the docks he's given a gun he throws into the
water he doesn't want to do it and then when the police come and fire tear gas it causes an explosion which leaks this
experimental chemical over all these gangbangers and now you've got one kid who didn't want to be
there who gets superpowers and a whole bunch of gangbangers who have superpowers and many of them
become criminals i just thought that was like a cool concept that's an actual marvel thing isn't
it dc dc yeah because i have well it? DC. DC, yeah, because I have the comic book thing.
Well, it wasn't originally, but DC, Warner Brothers got the rights, and now it is DC,
I'm pretty sure.
Okay, because I remember a comic book of Static Shop.
Yes, they did a Static movie.
That would be so cool.
Don't you think they'd ruin it, though?
I always hated when they adapted books that I liked.
The modern Static comics are bad.
That bums me out, man.
I think a Static movie would be so cool.
You just can't trust something that was important to you to these people.
And it was very social justice-y as a game.
It was very.
The cartoon was.
Absolutely.
But was it enough for today's day and age?
Honestly, probably, yeah.
Have you ever seen Captain Planet?
You think it would be bad?
Like people would be mad about it?
No, no, no, no, I don't.
It was more deftly handled.
It's like Captain Planet.
Captain Planet is like the super ultra mega.
You see, they used to do activist-y stuff in media,
but it was a light touch.
Captain Planet was not a light touch.
No, no, that's what I'm saying.
No, no, no, for sure.
That's the high bar example of like the worst of the worst back then.
Like you have, what I like about Static is that it does talk about issues.
You have one of the gangbangers, he goes to jail gets caught he had superpowers and then he uh and then he
reforms and becomes a hero like these are cool concepts that address a lot of these issues
turns out his best friend's gay and they make an issue about his dad being racist or something and
i'm like i thought it was totally fine yeah when it wasn't over the top it wasn't green arrow used
to do plenty of this stuff as well it was Arrow and Green Lantern. It was around so much. Even like you look at everything back then
and they subtly put stuff in like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
touched on a lot of social issues.
I still loved watching it as a kid.
They did it in a way that was more authentic,
more honest.
It wasn't forced.
Now it's forced and it's not about,
it's not about what helps us live together.
It's about what's divisive.
So it used to be like, hey man, you know, don't be racist, right? Let's just try to get along. And it's about what's divisive so it used to be like hey man you know
don't be racist right let's let's just try to get along and it's like i can certainly understand
that equal rights under the law now it's like enforce it is the woke cult stuff there's a big
difference between constitutional rights and a constitutional republic and woke cult indoctrination
i like the constitutional classical liberal indoctrination i don't like the woke indoctrination that's easy way to put it yeah yeah all right miguel rivera says tim xqc needs to be shouted
out he just signed with kick moving people away from twitch and their garbage censorship
big deal for culture war do you know do you know about that i i read about that earlier today
there's a lot of people that are talking about moving to kick that's becoming a big thing
also because twitch now twitch gave the 70 30 split to people but it's like impossible standards to meet if you
actually uh for profits like if you actually want it like the the requirements to do that limit it
down to like only the top of the top creators which is not really all that fair so it's a very
interesting space to see how all that stuff
is playing out because there is a real time like if you saw the thing the other day andrew tate did
a 432 000 concurrent live stream on rumble really andrew tate did 432 000 concurrence on rumble
the other day and it like and he the first thing he called out when they talked about because they
talked about what was going on in prison. They talked about all that stuff,
but he said he, he, the first thing he called out, he called out YouTube for their censorship
and all this stuff and said, you no longer control the culture. You no longer control
access to information the way you once did. And a lot of those platforms are the ones where
more and more of these battles are being fought because these companies are pricing out creators, people with large platforms that are not
inherently political. You know, a lot of these creators are going over to rumble and only the
ones that are not afraid of being called names are the ones that are willing to do it because
they're like, oh, you're going to rumble. That's an alt right. Yahtzee platform. Why would you do
that? Yeah. Um, I don't know who owns it, but this deal
is massive. It's like
$100 million over two years.
And that puts them into top 10 for all
athletes ever for
contracts. It's an insane number. A lot of people
are comparing this to when Microsoft launched
Mixer, but that was pretty woke
and had all these rules and stuff.
Cake is definitely more friendly. You can get away with
a lot on the platform in terms of content.
And there's been a lot of propaganda against them.
A ton of articles being written to try and dissuade you from using.
What is it?
It's like,
it's like,
look at it.
Look at all the,
they're not moderating.
They're not stopping anything from coming out here.
Your kid is going to turn into some type of tiki torch wearing person.
If you let them on this platform
wikipedia says it's uh its focus is looser moderation and higher revenue share there you
go but the the articles are trying to be an alt-right group soon absolutely yeah like it's
only a matter of time but yeah it's a it's a huge deal a lot of people i did see some they're like
they're giving them 100 million dollars for this one guy when they should be spreading that money
over hundreds or dozens of mid-sized creators i was like that's an interesting there's a fair argument but it is
one of the more recent attempts to dethrone twitch as the de facto streaming king and twitch is
terrible yeah they're they're so bad i just don't like them well it's resulted in pr which is good
i mean we're talking about it so obviously there's some value in that yeah absolutely that's wild the biggest deal of all time he's streaming right now well good twitch
is bad twitch is very bad wait you don't like hot tub streams what are you telling me
andrew roland says in man of steel krypton had artificial births and superman was the
first natural birth in 100 years zod calledod called this natural birth heresy.
I liked Man of Steel.
Did you like Man of Steel?
I thought it was great. I understand the complaints about it
in accuracy to Superman lore in the comics,
and they do seem to have an aversion
to wanting to tell classic Superman stories.
Also, there is a cameo in The Flash,
which I'm not going to give away.
It's already publicly known.
I know, but I don't know
who's watching. Not to everyone in this room.
For the people watching, I don't necessarily
want to ruin it for them, but it's been very
controversial to a lot of people because of the
technology that we used to do it.
Zod's appearance was good in the
movie. Yes. I really, really
like that. It was really funny listening
to Michael Shannon try to
figure out how he was alive in
the movie when they did the interview they're like he's like yeah they called me they want me to be
in the movie i'm like aren't i isn't my character dead they're like oh it's the multiverse he's like
i don't really know what that means but there are no rules he explained he goes it's kind of now
like it's kind of like a bunch of ceos worth billions of dollars playing with action figures
he's like and then zod shows up here and this person shows up here and they're battling.
And that's what it feels like.
I feel like you dying in a superhero movie actually increases your likelihood of being in the next movie.
It's worse if you actually just survive and go off into the sunset.
They'll just let you go.
But if you die, there was actually stakes there, which means it's something to bring you back.
All right.
Jmoney95 says, Dr. Disrespect called Hassan a fat phony on his stream today for talking about him boycotting Call of Duty.
He also laughed about it, saying Hassan wouldn't dare talk the same way to him in person.
I think, I don't know if Hassan's a phony, other than he's just not a very in-depth guy.
Like, he's a very surface-level guy.
So his views of things are just going to be very much like, on the surface, this thing happens, it seems to be anti-lgbtq he's
opposed to it dr disrespect is probably more so just a gamer but when something happens
sees what's going on gives his thoughts on it so you know i can understand why he's calling him a
phony but i don't think uh i don't think asan's opinions are genuine for the most part because
there was one video he did where he was talking about me and he criticized the military industrial complex but then praised the war in ukraine
like that's it's a paradox i just don't think he's intelligent it's one way to put it you know
seemed weird like one like i was reading stuff the other day and i'm like i'm watching it's like
garth brooks fights with people over bud light and nick merckx talking about call of duty i'm like
did i really expect on my end of the world bingo card,
I didn't expect any of this stuff to be the things that we as a community,
as a culture would be fighting about these days.
It's ridiculous.
I thought it would be a meteor, but it's Garth Brooks and Bud Light.
It's Garth Brooks and Kid Rock and Nick Merckx and drag shows and Call of Duty.
It's ridiculous.
Shannon says, bank your vote.
Is the Republicans early voting for 2024? Vote early if you can, not just on election day. Absolutely. shows in call of duty it's ridiculous yeah shannon says bank your vote is the republicans early
voting for 2024 vote early if you can not just on election day absolutely and um we need republicans
to be uh helping with mail-in voting and knocking on doors and in cities absolutely in cities remember
when um in like the early 2000s when the democrats had rocked the vote and, and Republicans had like redeemed the vote.
And it was like a religious,
a religious one.
You could already see the,
I've never heard of redeeming votes.
You could already,
you could already see the culture shifting at that point.
They just,
they didn't have the ability to catch the youth.
They just couldn't.
Or come up with good messaging.
Yeah.
Crack comedy says you want to hire people to do what they already do.
Hire me to host a cultural show where I travel across the usa going to comedy up in mics visit
oddities american battlefield battlefield fields most importantly talk to average people agreed i
wrote down your name i'll take a look and we're actually thinking about if we could do some more
men in the street stuff find a host who could specifically go and talk to regular people
just ask them general
questions i will go anytime yeah i'll talk to everyone we'll go to like dc and go to freedom
plaza and be like what are your thoughts like you know have at it because we were planning on doing
something like this a long time ago we never did so you know man on the street stuff is the best
in my opinion what's your body count and all the other questions that they ask them the best question yeah what do
you rate this it's really funny because um john boy media which is like a baseball like they used
to just do baseball commentary it started out as a youtube channel which has grown into like a very
very large media company because it got very big now they've started to do stuff like that and you
like they first they expanded into other sports and all this other content and they're great as
far as how they actually market their social media is great now that you see them doing
these man on the street type things and everybody in the comments like please no not barstool don't
become barstool anything but that i think well done man on street stuff is the best way to take
like the sociological thermometer of our country right like you can really see some interesting
psychological and social sociological developments at work.
You just have to have the people
willing to talk to a lot of people.
It takes man hours.
And there's a lot of curation there.
So it's like you'll get a feeling
after watching some of those
that the end of society,
that civilization is falling
because you'll hear
all of these stupid comments.
But then you have to remember
that they talked to 50
or 100 people that day
and you're hearing them
share with you the five people that said the
absolute stupidest thing that they had.
So we did man on the street stuff for my doc that I was telling you guys
about the canceled doctor.
And it's number one,
very,
it was surprisingly way more difficult to get people to talk to us than we
thought,
unless we did it in a place where people were drunk and then you just got a lot of
craziness wow um but it is true that you know you do have to luckily i was surprised even in la and
how many down the road in the middle kind of responses you got that wouldn't work for a
documentary exactly it's a lot it's a lot of not lie by structure but it's heavily crafting
a narrative depending on what your topic
is because you're gonna get
in fact I would almost like more and I know
it wouldn't be successful if you want a white
pill a bunch of people share with them the
ridiculously middle of the road
response like look you are not alone
a lot of the country is full of
perfectly rational people it's
just not that interesting to anyone but people in the culture war who are sick of the things that go either end of the spectrum.
Brett's documentary, You Are Here, and it's all the right people.
It's just all regular people.
I'm down for that.
Let's go.
Jeff Bader with a very big super chat says, Tim is right.
Human life is a federal issue.
I do believe so.
I believe the Constitution is a human rights.
It addresses our human rights within this nation.
And I think you need structure at the state level.
I'm happy to debate it.
That's what I like about this show.
You switched me on that one.
So kudos to you.
Oh, I mean, I don't know.
But I guess what I'm saying now is it kind of feels like it was better before they overturned it, meaning the federal issue was mostly restricted at a certain point.
Now the issue, it seems like now they're just blanket
allowing so i'll ask you this is it better if federally abortion is banned after 16 weeks or
if half the states ban it completely in half allow abortion to nine months
yeah i mean it's even even beyond that i mean the argument that changed me was it doesn't even
matter uh what the end result is it just comes down to a constitutional right.
And it's fundamentally a constitutional right and a right to life.
I think Congress needs to, you can't have federal legislation.
I think Congress is fickle.
I think you need, I'm not against federal regulation. I just think what we saw when we overturned Roe v. Wade was that all of the states suddenly
were like, well, what are our stances on this?
We got to go back to the 1800s.
Look at our laws.
I think you have to have it hammered out at the state level.
I'm happy for a federal regulation
if it really is the best way to ensure constitutional rights.
I just think ultimately,
if you don't have structure and order at a smaller level,
it all falls apart.
Yeah, I don't know.
The states do have different laws on gun issues too.
So it's entirely possible, right?
That is another argument that's like, but yeah, but when when it comes to the interpretation the one thing you said that really
hit me was we can't have states having you know debating on a state level what personhood is right
what a human life is i mean that's beyond have they been doing that with guns with in relation
to like the 3d printed weapon debate no no no but but there's no question of life right with
with abortion there's a question of when life begins.
I mean, I don't think there's a question.
I think the left is just lying.
Yeah, I think so too.
All right.
Let's grab, what do we got?
Rudy Cassone says,
I don't think Republicans lost the Senate
and underperformed with Congress over abortion.
I believe Tim had it right.
One word, harvesting.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right. i believe tim had it right one word harvesting yeah yeah yeah yeah all right grizzlock says today you could make captain planet a movie starring greta thunberg
with a musk trump analog as the villain and you'd still get in trouble for not making the cap a
trans woman of color do they do anything with captain planet does he get movies i know i have
not seen anything i like having a planet you know I don't like about Captain Planet? They never use their rings.
Have you noticed that?
Don't they?
Don't they use heart?
Heart.
Very rarely do they ever actually use their rings, and they almost only ever summon Captain
Planet.
And I'm like, dude, you can shoot fire out of that ring.
Did you see the live action remake where Captain Planet is like a butcher?
Was it Don Cheadle?
Yes.
It's amazing.
I like Greasy Tales version on YouTube.
I haven't seen it.
He's fat and it's because he eats birds,
but the birds eat plastic and the plastic can't be digested.
So he gets getting fatter and fatter.
Yeah, that one's really good.
